Eternal Bonds: A Journey with the Fated Immortal

Chapter 73

“Damn it!”

The Ninth Princess bit her lip slightly, feeling a deep hatred in her heart. Immediately, she flipped her delicate hand, revealing a thunder talisman, which was surrounded by the terrifying power of a Great Saint.

Boom!

She raised her hand and threw it, as if a God of Chaos was delivering divine punishment. A thunder spear pierced through everything, shattering the formation with a boom, and instantly thrusting into the outer starry sky.

Rumble, rumble!

In the outer starry sky, stars exploded one after another, shining brilliantly like fireworks, shattered by the thrust of the spear.

“Go!”

The Ninth Princess’s eyes turned resolute. Without a second thought, she leaped forward, transforming into a divine rainbow and fleeing.

“Buzz…”

But in the next second, a grand blood-colored pagoda appeared, emanating terrifying Saintly might, blocking the Ninth Princess’s path. Her expression turned icy cold.

“Your Highness, the Ninth Princess, you cannot leave!”

The red-robed elder from before appeared, holding a blood-colored furnace, his eyes blazing, and his body exuding terrifying Saintly might.

Around him, seven or eight Saints gathered, all strong experts from the three factions.

They were one of the main forces intercepting the Ninth Princess, aiming to exhaust her trump cards.

“You’re courting death!”

The Ninth Princess’s eyes were icy cold.

Boom!

Soon, an incredibly terrifying battle erupted.

……

“Poof!”

On the other side, amidst the shattered earth and rubble, Su Changsheng dragged a young man with black horns, who was in a tattered and dying state.

Under Yuxin’s shocked gaze, he threw the young man onto a piece of rubble, his eyes coldly staring at him.

“So that’s it. No wonder I’ve been feeling uneasy all this time. It turns out there is indeed danger within the secret realm!”

“This is all a trap!”

Su Changsheng coldly looked down at the other party, his heart surging with killing intent.

Through him, he had already seen through everything.

Three hegemonic forces, three Great Saint experts, plus a group of Saints and Saint Kings working together to set up this scheme.

All of this, just to hunt down a junior at the Void Fusion Realm?

What an extravagant setup.

At the same time, this made Su Changsheng take these superpowers’ prodigies more seriously.

Such a luxurious lineup, yet they still couldn’t guarantee a successful hunt.

It must be said, it is truly defying the heavens.

“Cough, cough, how… how is this possible…” The young man with black horns had lifeless eyes, his heart filled with disbelief, fear, and despair.

He was a dignified Saint King, with combat strength capable of battling a Fourth Heaven* expert.

(TN: Within Saint King cultivation hierarchy.)

Why did he lose to an unknown nobody?

Moreover, it was a one-sided defeat, completely crushed as if facing a terrifying Great Saint.

Why was he so strong?

“Su… Su Changsheng, you can’t save her… The Palace Master and the others are acting together. Even if you have heaven-defying means… you can’t be their match… hahaha…”

The young man with black horns looked at Su Changsheng with difficulty. Amid Su Changsheng’s indifferent expression, he burst into a tragic laugh.

Bang!

Not long after, under Yuxin’s shocked gaze, his body exploded, shattering like a delicate porcelain, along with his primordial spirit.

The opponent’s body, primordial spirit, cultivation, and everything else had already been completely shattered by Su Changsheng during their fight.

Now, with his last breath gone, he naturally crumbled entirely, falling to his death.

“Ignorant!”

Looking at the dead young man with black horns, Su Changsheng merely uttered a word indifferently.

Kill the Ninth Princess?

If the Ninth Princess were so easy to kill, she wouldn’t have the so-called [Purple Gold] fate.

Such beings were like children of fortune, favored by destiny. No matter how perilous the situation, it was impossible to kill them.

“Yuxin, let’s go!”

Just as Yuxin’s eyes were filled with shock, Su Changsheng’s voice reached her, causing her to be momentarily stunned.

“Where to?”

She asked somewhat foolishly.

“Where to? Naturally, to play the hero and save the beauty!” Su Changsheng said with his hands behind his back, smiling calmly.

“Ah!”

In the next second, Yuxin let out a startled cry as Su Changsheng hoisted her onto his shoulder, and they swiftly departed.

In an instant, they traversed millions of miles.

……

“Poof!”

On the other side, in the midst of the battlefield, the Ninth Princess spat out blood. Her delicate face was pale and bloodless, yet her entire being radiated overwhelming divine might. Although her cultivation was only at the peak of the Void Fusion Realm, at this moment, her aura was comparable to that of a true Saint King.

A pair of golden wings extended from her back, burning with intense golden-red divine fire. The void collapsed, all beings perished, and even the rules and order were incinerated.

Not only that, a true phoenix’s shadow burned behind her, its eyes coldly watching the enemies.

“What a Ninth Princess of the Imperial Court. No wonder my father repeatedly warned me not to underestimate you and even regarded this hunt as my trial!”

The blond young man held a golden spear, clad in golden armor, divine light surging around him. Clusters of divine fire burned around him, resembling a divine realm.

His eyes were filled with amazement as he looked at the pale-faced Ninth Princess, unable to help but marvel.

Two Saint Kings, along with more than a dozen top-tier Saints, joined forces to deal with a Ninth Princess who had exhausted most of her trump cards and was already severely injured.

Yet, they couldn’t take her down in a short time and even lost two Saints. How heaven-defying is this?

“……”

On the other side, a figure in blood-red robes stood silently, holding a blood-colored long sword. Though his form appeared to be standing there, he was actually hidden within layers of dimensional space, making it impossible to find his true body.

At the same time, his eyes were filled with shock. In all his years of killing, he had never seen such a heaven-defying prodigy.

Even the monsters on the True Saint Ranking couldn’t compare to the Ninth Princess.

If the Ninth Princess rose and became a Saint, she might sweep through the monsters on the True Saint Ranking.

The surrounding Saints were also looking at the Ninth Princess with shocked expressions.

“It’s just a pity that you’ve exhausted all your trump cards, haven’t you? Your ability to possess combat strength comparable to a Saint King is not only because you took a Ninth-Grade Saint Pill but also because you burned your own bloodline power!”

“Ninth Princess, even if you survive this battle, you are already crippled!”

“What a pity, I really can’t bear to kill you!”

The blond young man shook his head.

As a Saint King, he had a high level of discernment and knew that the Ninth Princess’s heaven-defying combat strength was forcibly elevated through various means.

For example, one of the Ninth-Grade Pills, the Ascension Pill, could forcibly elevate a cultivator’s combat strength to the Saint Realm for a short period, at the cost of being crippled afterward.

The Ninth Princess had taken such a pill.

Additionally, she burned her own bloodline power to forcibly enhance her combat strength.

This too came at an extremely severe cost.

It was equivalent to sacrificing most of her potential in exchange for temporary power.

“……”

The Ninth Princess’s face was pale, her eyes cold. Her golden hair fluttered as she stood like an invincible goddess of war, exuding a terrifying aura.

Everyone present was wary, fearing that she might take down a few more of them.

“Ninth Princess, rest in peace!”

The blond young man shook his head. His long spear pierced through, golden divine light breaking through everything, surrounded by the laws of the blazing sun, scorching and incinerating all.

Although he was reluctant to kill the Ninth Princess, he was not someone who hesitated. When it was time to act, he would show no mercy.

“Buzz…”

On the other side, the figure in blood-red robes silently disappeared, moving through the endless void. Then, a blood-colored divine sword quietly and stealthily pierced out, aiming for the Ninth Princess’s head.

This was the fatal strike of two Saint Kings.

“……”

The Ninth Princess’s eyes turned cold as the power within her surged.

She would not accept her fate so easily.

Boom!

In the void, a large, jade-like white hand suddenly appeared, grabbing the golden divine spear. Despite the divine fire burning, it remained unmoved.

Immediately after, a tall figure stepped out. His eyes sparkled, and with just a single finger, he flicked away the incoming blood-colored divine sword.

“You look truly miserable, Ninth Princess!”

A voice rang out.
