Noticing how fast their army was falling apart, the Mystic Sea Dragon Clan's Immortals could no longer sit still and went after Yuan.
"About time I have some worthy opponents!" Yuan laughed as he confronted a Bronze Immortal, and their Immortal Qi clashed.
'What?! I'm being pushed back?!'
The Bronze Immortal was utterly stunned that he was being forced back by someone still in the Immortal Ascension Realm, a human cultivator who hadn't even truly stepped into immortality.
"How is his Immortal Qi so powerful?! He's not even an Immortal yet!"
The other Immortals were equally shaken by the sheer intensity of Yuan's Immortal Qi, and the True Immortals there wore grim expressions, unable to hide their disbelief. Yuan's Immortal Qi rivaled their own, despite still being in Immortal Ascension, while they stood at the very peak of the Immortal Realm, on the verge of stepping into God Ascension.
In the cultivation world, one only attains true immortality after transcending the Immortal Ascension Realm and stepping into the ranks of Bronze Immortals.
Though the Immortal Realm consists of only four distinct stages—Bronze, Silver, Golden, and True Immortal—the gap between each is vast, often requiring as much time and cultivation as ascending through all nine levels of Immortal Ascension. Yet Yuan, a mere cultivator still within Immortal Ascension, had already surpassed even the True Immortals.
What would happen if Yuan were to become a Bronze Immortal, let alone a True Immortal? How terrifying would his power become then? No one present could begin to fathom it—not even the God Ascension cultivators, who already stood beyond immortality.
'We must kill that human now or he'll become a huge threat to the Mystic Sea Dragon Clan and our plans!'
The Immortals quickly exchanged voice transmissions in secret, and after a brief but heavy silence, reached a unanimous decision—to strike at Yuan together, even if it meant staining their pride and shattering their reputation.
Suddenly, the battlefield shifted dramatically. Without warning, hundreds of Immortals, even those already locked in fierce combat, abandoned their fights and turned their focus toward a single target: Yuan.
"Senior Envoy! Watch out! They're all targeting you!"
Members of the Azure Dragon Clan hurriedly shouted warnings to Yuan as they pursued the forces of the Mystic Sea Dragon Clan going after him.
"Oh?"
Despite the looming threat, Yuan showed not the slightest trace of panic. In fact, a faint smile tugged at his lips.
"To think so many mighty Immortals would band together against a mere mortal like me… I'm truly honored."
"To show my gratitude," Yuan said calmly, his smile widening, "allow me to face you all with my full strength."
"What?!" The Bronze Immortal fighting Yuan was shocked to hear he wasn't even fighting at his full potential.
As the Immortals closed in, a profound, chaotic, and overwhelming aura erupted from Yuan's body like a volcanic explosion, shaking the battlefield and halting even the boldest in their tracks.
"What is that ominous energy?! It's making my soul tremble!"
