From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 208 Perilous Journey to the Immortal Realm: Xiao Yao Overcomes Calamity

In the mist, the figure was ethereal and otherworldly, its face obscured. Only a clear, ethereal voice echoed through the immortal realm: "Trespassers shall be executed." An invisible pressure instantly descended, making it almost impossible for me to breathe.

I gritted my teeth and forced myself not to collapse.

Damn it, the guardians of this immortal realm are so powerful!

I felt the flow of spiritual energy within my body become sluggish, and every step I took felt like sinking into a quagmire, making it extremely difficult to move.

Those rare and precious spiritual plants that I had just picked now seemed to have become a burden, weighing heavily on my storage bag.

I desperately wanted to speed up and escape this oppressive space.

The surrounding scenery began to distort; the once clear flowers, plants, and trees became blurry, like a crumpled painting.

My breathing became rapid, my heart pounded violently in my chest, and fear coiled around my nerves like vines.

Just then, Kuroba's figure reappeared in front of me, a sinister smile on his face, as if victory was assured.

"Xiao Yao, do you really think you can escape?" His voice hissed like a venomous snake, sending chills down one's spine.

What alarmed me even more was that there were several unfamiliar figures standing behind Kuroba.

They all possessed a powerful aura and icy gazes, like demons from hell.

One of them was dressed in a dark robe and surrounded by thick black mist, making it impossible to see his face.

But the evil aura emanating from him sent chills down my spine.

That's Mo Yuan!

My heart sank; it seemed this time the odds were really against me.

I gripped my sword tightly, forcing myself to remain calm as I faced them.

They closed in step by step, and I felt like prey surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves, with nowhere to escape.

"Xiao Yao, obediently hand over all the treasures you possess, and perhaps I might consider giving you a quick death," Hei Yu said with a sinister grin, his eyes gleaming with greed.

I took a deep breath and replied coldly, "Dream on!"

Suddenly, the man in black robes raised his hand and waved it, unleashing a powerful force that swept towards me...

"Trying to kill me? Not so easy!" I hissed, channeling my spiritual energy into the sword...

The sword emitted a dazzling light. I poured all my life's learning into this sword strike and slashed at that force!

With a deafening roar, the two forces collided, generating a powerful shockwave.

I was so shocked that I staggered backward, my blood surging, and a metallic taste rising in my throat.

I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and coldly swept my gaze over the enemy before me.

Damn it, Mo Yuan's power is indeed extraordinary!

I must find a safe place to hide as soon as possible, otherwise...

I looked around and found that the surrounding terrain had become unfamiliar.

The fog was thick and obscured the sky; the once familiar path had completely disappeared, replaced by an unfamiliar scene.

I was extremely anxious and searched everywhere for an exit, but I couldn't find a way out.

This immortal realm is like a giant maze, trapping me inside.

The surrounding environment was filled with unknown dangers, making the oppressive atmosphere even stronger, and I could hardly breathe.

Just then, Kuroba and his accomplices approached again, their faces bearing mocking smiles, as if they could already foresee my doom.

I gripped my sword tightly, mustered my strength, and prepared for the new battle.

However, I found that I could not fully control the power I had gained.

The spiritual energy within my body is disordered and I cannot effectively mobilize it, which makes me feel somewhat powerless.

A sense of danger filled my heart, and a feeling of tension spread.

I tried desperately to control the spiritual energy within my body, but I found that the more anxious I was, the harder it was to control.

Kuroba's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and I could only barely parry them, constantly inflicting new wounds on my body.

"Xiao Yao, give up, you can't escape!" Hei Yu's tone was full of smugness.

I gritted my teeth and refused to give in.

Even if there's only a sliver of hope, I will fight with all my might!

I dodged Black Feather's attacks while trying to mobilize the spiritual power within my body.

Suddenly, I felt a powerful force surging from within me, a force stronger and more difficult to control than before…

I swung my sword fiercely, forcing Black Feather back, but at the same time, the force rebounded onto me, causing me a sharp pain.

I staggered back a few steps, and my vision blurred.

No, I can't fall!

I forced myself to stand, my gaze fixed on Kuroba, "I..."

I……

I bit my tongue hard, and the sharp pain instantly brought me back to my senses.

Don't panic!

I forced myself to calm down and carefully observed the attack methods of Kuroba and the others.

Their moves were sharp, but there was a hint of stiffness in them, as if...

The teamwork wasn't good enough!

It's now!

A glint flashed in my eyes as I seized the opening in their coordination. My figure moved like lightning, my longsword transforming into a series of afterimages as I went straight for Black Feather's helper!

"Ah!" A scream rang out as one of the men in black was struck by my sword energy and sent flying backward.

I was overjoyed and pressed my advantage, my sword flashing, each move deadly.

"Useless!" Black Feather roared and personally attacked me.

He was faster and stronger than before, so I dared not be careless and fought with all my might.

In an instant, sword lights clashed, spiritual energy surged, and the surrounding space began to fluctuate violently.

Black Feather's attacks poured down like a storm, and I could only barely parry them.

Each of his attacks was imbued with a fierce killing intent, putting me under immense pressure.

I feel that my body has reached its limit, and my spiritual energy is about to be exhausted.

But my gaze grew more resolute, and my sword grip became even more steady.

I will not give up!

Even if there's only a sliver of hope, I will fight to the very end!

Seeing that he couldn't break through her defenses, Hei Yu sneered, "Xiao Yao, do you really think you can beat me?" A long black sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

The blade exuded a chilling aura, sending a shiver down my spine.

"Then let's give it a try!" I went forward without fear.

Kuroba's swordsmanship is unpredictable and strange. Although my swordsmanship is exquisite, it is difficult to completely defend against it.

New wounds kept appearing on my body, and my clothes were stained red with blood.

But my gaze remained firm, without the slightest hesitation.

"Die!" Black Feather roared, and the long sword in his hand transformed into a black light, heading straight for my heart.

I felt the presence of death enveloping me, but I felt no fear whatsoever.

I swung my sword sharply, meeting the black light head-on...

"You think you can kill me like this?"

Swords and knives clashed, sparking dazzling flames!

I poured all my strength into the sword, channeling the last bit of spiritual power within me.

boom!

A powerful force erupted, knocking both me and Kuroba back.

I staggered back a few steps, felt a sweet taste in my throat, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Kuroba wasn't in much better shape; he clutched his chest, his face pale, and a trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

"You..." He stared at me in disbelief. I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and smiled coldly: "I told you, killing me isn't that easy!"

The surrounding air suddenly became heavy, and the invisible pressure lessened considerably.

I sensed that the mysterious force seemed to have developed a slight fear of me.

Perhaps my outburst just now showed them my potential.

I took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the surging blood and qi within me, and looked firmly ahead.

I will not be deterred by the difficulties before me; I will continue to explore this mysterious immortal realm!

I continued onward, and as the fog gradually dissipated, an ancient castle appeared before my eyes.

The castle soared into the clouds, its entire body pitch black, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura.

A black barrier surrounded the castle, shimmering with an eerie light.

I walked up to the castle and reached out to touch the barrier.

A chilling energy instantly spread throughout my body, making me shiver involuntarily.

This castle is indeed extraordinary!

I took a deep breath. New challenges and new opportunities await me!

I raised my hand, ready to push open the castle gate… “Creak—”
