Chapter 928 The Overbearing Busan Hermit

"boom."

The moment it landed, the nascent soul Dharma form began to disintegrate and dissipate.

Busan Sanren slowly withdrew the strange blood vessels, and his previously empty whites of his eyes were once again filled with a scarlet color.

He spoke casually, as if he had only done something insignificant:

"That's it."

Emperor Ying stepped forward quickly, pointed his finger, and Xiao Buyi's empty physical body exploded into a cloud of blood foam.

Then he looked at the spherical cave that had fallen to the ground, and used his supernatural powers to transform the power of the laws into a huge five-colored millstone, gradually eroding and destroying the cave left behind by Xiao Buyi.

A moment later, a loud "boom" was heard, and the cave world left behind by Xiao Buyi was shattered.

Countless rare and precious materials, magical artifacts, and spiritual weapons burst forth from the cave, scattering across the ground. After a cultivator opens up their inner cave, aside from some commonly used items which are kept in their storage bag, most of the spiritual resources and treasures that are not currently needed are stored inside the cave, which is the safest place. Unless one dies completely, it is very difficult for others to take them away.

But now, all these things have become spoils of war for the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty.

Busan Hermit was closest to the site. His eyes lit up at the sight of the scattered spiritual treasures, and he immediately grabbed the most valuable items, laughing:

"I never imagined that this Mahayana cultivator, whose cultivation level is not high, would be so incredibly wealthy... Many of these spiritual resources are actually of great use to me."

Immediately, the Hermit of Mount Busan glanced at Emperor Taizu of Ying with some disdain: "I have already completely annihilated this person's soul. Why did you go to such lengths to whip his corpse to vent your anger? You even went so far as to destroy his grotto-heaven..."

Emperor Ying Taizu forced a smile: "Fellow Daoist Fushan may not know this, but this kid is indeed quite strange. If we don't confirm that he is completely dead, there may be endless troubles to come."

"Forget it, I'm just doing what people pay for. I can't be bothered with your petty and despicable affairs."

Busan Sanren held out a hand: "Where's the payment?"

A celestial being behind Emperor Ying Taizu angrily said, "Recluse of Mount Fushan, I never said you could freely choose Xiao Buyi's remains. You've already taken quite a few valuable spiritual items. What about the reward..."

"Hmm?" A look of madness gradually appeared on Busan Sanren's face, and the blood vessels in his eyes began to writhe wildly:

"Those are my spoils of war. What do they have to do with the payment that your Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty agreed upon beforehand? One thing at a time... What, trying to renege on your debt?"

"Hey, fellow Daoist, please calm down."

Emperor Ying Taizu pressed down on another Divine Cauldron Celestial Immortal, smiled, and took out a storage bag, handing it to the Hermit of Mount Fushan:

"The rewards are all here. Please check them, fellow Daoist."

Busan Sanren eagerly took the storage bag, probed it with his divine sense, and after a moment, his expression brightened with joy, and he murmured:

"It really is [Thunder-shaped Wood]... With this, I have a better chance of passing the seventh [Tribulation of a Loose Immortal]."

At this moment, Emperor Ying Taizu thought to himself, "You? You think you can survive the seventh tribulation of a scattered immortal? What a pipe dream... You brat from Busan, when you are annihilated in the seventh tribulation of a scattered immortal, I will make you spit out all the benefits you have swallowed today!"

What Emperor Ying Taizu was thinking was not entirely a curse. The tribulations of the Loose Immortals, the fourth, seventh, and tenth, were all major tribulations, each more terrifying than the last, and ordinary people would definitely find it difficult to overcome them.

After all, being able to survive the fourth tribulation of a Loose Immortal means possessing genuine Celestial Immortal combat power, and surviving the seventh tribulation? That would make one a seventh-tier Loose Immortal, with supernatural powers comparable to a True Immortal.

As for the tenth tribulation of a scattered immortal? No one in the entire immortal realm has ever been known to have survived it.

"Alright, now that the final payment has been settled, this immortal should take his leave."

As the Hermit of Busan left, he didn't forget to leave a threatening remark: "You'd better not spread what happened today, otherwise, how could I, a dignified Six Tribulation Hermit, lower myself to deal with a Mahayana cultivator? Wouldn't that be incredibly shameful? Wouldn't I become a laughingstock in the immortal realm?"

Emperor Ying Taizu turned to the side and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Fushan, aren't you coming back to Shending Star with us? Why don't you have a meal before you leave?"

"Hmph..." The Hermit of Mount Busan sneered disdainfully: "I am about to pass the seventh tribulation of a Hermit Immortal. Even True Immortals will have to be polite to me then... If Yuwen Tianfu were here, I might have given him some face. But now, these few stinking fish and shrimps of your Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty, who are still at the early stage of Heavenly Immortal? Do you think you are worthy of drinking and chatting with me?"

He then removed the array that had sealed off the void, ripped open the void, and completely disappeared into it.

A quarter of an hour later, after several celestial immortals from the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty confirmed that the Hermit of Mount Fu had completely departed, one of the old women, leaning on a dragon-headed cane, slammed her cane down heavily and said angrily:

“This brat from Busan is really going too far! Six thousand years ago he was just a Mahayana cultivator who was lucky enough to survive six Loose Immortal Tribulations, and now he dares to defecate and urinate in front of us.”

"Hmph, why bother getting angry with a short-lived ghost whose lifespan is less than a thousand years?" The other Divine Cauldron Celestial Immortal remained calm.

"Do you really think he can survive the seventh tribulation of a loose immortal? There's no need to fight over a moment's pride. He's all alone. A thousand years from now, we'll burn more offerings at his grave..."

The last Celestial Immortal was a child who looked to be only six or seven years old, yet he was dressed in a python robe, and his tone seemed to carry a hint of complaint:

"To deal with Xiao Buyi, is it really necessary to invite a sixth-tribulation loose immortal? And who knows how many rare treasures and cultivation resources the Immortal Dynasty's treasury has been used up... I didn't dare to breathe loudly in front of him, for fear that he would go crazy and, in the end, get carried away with killing us as well."

"The four of us are all at the Celestial Immortal level. Facing a Sixth Tribulation Loose Immortal, we definitely can't win in a fight, and he can't stop us if we want to run away."

The three Celestial Immortals, one after another, clearly breathed a sigh of relief, while Emperor Ying Taizu himself had a furrowed brow and a faint look of worry on his face.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Emperor Taizu sighed: "I still feel somewhat uneasy."

The child-like Divine Cauldron Immortal laughed, "Xiao Buyi's soul has been destroyed, his physical body has been turned to dust, and even his grotto-heaven has been completely annihilated by Your Majesty's [Yin Yang Five Elements Great Millstone]. He is as dead as can be, so what is there to worry about?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ying Taizu's expression softened somewhat, and he murmured, "Perhaps it's because I've been tricked by Xiao Ni too many times over the years, and I'm a bit overreacting."

"Alright, if Your Majesty is still not at ease, let's join forces and crush and destroy this misty valley bit by bit, banishing it completely into the void, extinguishing all life, leaving no corner untouched."

"I refuse to believe that Xiao Buyi can come back to life like this!"

"That's fine, this is more appropriate. However, doing it this way will be a slow process even for celestial beings. To completely destroy a corner of the celestial realm, it will take at least several decades."

Emperor Taizu nodded, and was about to do so, when suddenly his expression changed:

"Hmm? An urgent report has arrived from the Celestial Dynasty... A group of space pirates is approaching Divine Cauldron Star? And their leader is a Celestial Immortal? Who leaked the information? How did these space pirates know that Divine Cauldron Star is currently undefended?"
