Chapter 24: Thirty Years East, Thirty Years West! Just Wait Until We…

Three fallen creatures stood side by side.

Soaring through the heavens.

Gazing down upon the world with contempt.

As though the nine heavens and ten lands revolved around them.

Untamed and defiant, their pride piercing the sky.

They looked down on the Nine Great Saints — and even disdained the beings of the Immortal Realm.

Small wonder. This trio of fallen creatures — dragon, phoenix, and kylin — had been the stuff of nightmares in the lower realm. Even Saints who crossed their path would be annihilated.

They carried the faint bearing of the invincible.

They had every reason to be proud.

And now that they had come to the Immortal Realm, that invincible mindset came with them.

Even if their opponents were beings of the Immortal Realm, they still wished to cut them down.

"Even though we hail from Qiankun Realm, even though we must contend against the rules of the Immortal Realm with one hand tied — we remain undefeated beneath the heavens! Come and try us if you dare!"

"So what if you're beings of the Immortal Realm? Slaying immortals is my heart's desire!"

The three fallen creatures fixed their gazes on Su Ning, their battle intent surging — nearly taking on physical form.

"Senior… I can't stand watching this anymore. Shall I take care of them for you?" Abyss Devil Lord said.

The three fallen creatures glanced back at the nine Saints.

They found them watching with smiles, as though looking at three clowns.

This was unacceptable.

We're this incredible, and that's the look you give us?

Are you looking to die?

They couldn't understand… what gave these people such brazen fearlessness?

"Ha… no need. These three little creatures seem to have been quite impressive in your world. I'm also curious to see how their combat power compares to insects." Su Ning shrugged indifferently.

Su Ning was being sincere.

In his mind, the combat power of ascenders was roughly on par with insects.

And that was being generous.

When the Nine Great Saints had first ascended, they couldn't even beat insects.

But those words, falling on the ears of the three fallen creatures, were a profound humiliation.

They had looked down upon the mortal world for so long. Whenever anyone spoke of these supreme existences, didn't they always look up with expressions of reverence, as though staring at the ceiling?

And you dare compare us to insects!

"Hmph… cheap words!" The black kylin, as the leader of the trio, was deeply displeased.

"No more wasting words with him. Kill him outright — let him know that fallen creatures are not to be insulted!"

"Insult us… and you shall suffer ten thousand tribulations!"

The dragon, phoenix, and kylin erupted in fury.

They immediately unleashed their Divine Abilities and charged toward Su Ning.

Carrying the force of thunderous might, a posture that could shatter the heavens and obliterate the earth…

They believed that such power would make even immortals change color at the sight of it.

The three fallen creatures looked like three tiny black-glowing light bulbs.

Hurtling toward Su Ning.

"How fascinating!" Su Ning genuinely found it interesting.

Not because of the fallen creatures' offensive power, but because he found it remarkable that something could actually emit black light.

Su Ning had seen light bulbs of many colors — red, yellow, white, green, purple, and more… but something that emitted black light? That was a first.

"Come to think of it… does black light even count as light?" A philosophical question crossed Su Ning's mind.

But before he could think it through, the three fallen creatures had already rushed up to him.

Tap… Tap… Tap…

He flicked his fingers three times.

The black auras shrouding the three fallen creatures were shattered on contact.

And the bodies of the three fallen creatures were sent crashing to the ground.

Su Ning's strength was no longer that of an ordinary person. Even a casual flick of his fingers carried tremendous force.

And this was him holding back — using the absolute minimum of his strength. Otherwise, the three fallen creatures would have been obliterated on the spot.

The dragon, phoenix, and kylin plummeted.

Crashing down hard.

The unyielding ground dealt their bodies another devastating blow.

They lay there on the ground…

Cough…

Pfft…

Without exception, all three fallen creatures simultaneously spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Six eyes stared in horror at the enormous being above them.

They had called themselves invincible… their fallen light capable of slaying Saints in an instant, of killing gods and slaughtering Buddhas — and yet… it had been shattered by a flick of someone's fingers.

Their indestructible fallen divine bodies had been critically wounded in an instant.

This colossal immortal…

Just what kind of existence was he?

He was terrifyingly powerful…

So this was what an immortal was?

Without using any Dao Laws or magic — with pure physical strength alone… a flick of his fingers had nearly wiped them out?

The three fallen creatures — whether the black kylin, the dragon, or the phoenix — felt endless waves of shock crashing through their hearts!

Immortals… were this monstrous?

The nine Saints who had been watching with predatory eyes were now looking at them with amusement, as though watching a joke…

The black kylin finally understood why they had been so relaxed from the very beginning.

These people had known the outcome all along.

"Hmm… not much stronger than insects after all… I used a bit too much force just now — nearly killed them. Even though I was already holding back and used the absolute minimum…" Su Ning muttered to himself.

But his words were still heard by the gods and demons present.

The three fallen creatures were so furious they wanted to vomit blood and scream curses…

But they knew that what Su Ning said might well be the truth.

He wasn't insulting them — they were simply too weak.

"If the Immortal Senior wished them dead… they would already be dead!" Kunlun Immortal Maiden's face was as cold as ice, still as an ancient well.

"In fact, even without the Immortal Senior making a move, we could wipe them out ourselves…"

Hearing this, the black kylin and its two companions were not about to accept that.

We can't beat a terrifying immortal, but we can't beat you either?

We are the universally acknowledged ceiling of the cultivation world in Qiankun Realm.

We're practically at the level of ascending to immortality through the mortal world.

What are you posturing about?

"We may not yet match beings of the Immortal Realm — but dealing with weaklings like you Saints…"

"One hand is more than enough!" the black kylin declared.

It had no hands.

"Kunlun Immortal Art…" Kunlun Immortal Maiden fell silent no longer.

The Kunlun Immortal Art was unleashed.

Rumble…

"What—" The three fallen creatures questioned their very existence.

Because they discovered that Kunlun Immortal Maiden's cultivation realm had already surpassed anything within their comprehension.

With a single thunderous blast, the three fallen creatures were sent flying.

Without the slightest ability to resist.

Cough, cough…

They steadied themselves once more.

The three fallen creatures were now in a wretched state.

Wounds of varying severity covered their bodies.

Kunlun Immortal Maiden… had grown to this level???

The Immortal Realm truly was extraordinary…

The situation was critical. They had to find a chance to escape.

Hmph.

You useless Saints can achieve such heights — give us time… and we'll catch up to you. And then… surpass you!

They glanced at the Nine Great Saints, then at Su Ning…

"Even him — this colossal immortal — we can destroy, as long as we're given the time to reach our final growth…" In his heart, the black kylin had already marked Su Ning and the Nine Great Saints as enemies to be fought to the death.

"Thirty years east, thirty years west — one day… we will return every last shred of humiliation you've given us today, every single bit of it!" The black kylin shot a meaningful glance at the dragon and phoenix.

Years of camaraderie between the three beasts allowed them to instantly understand the meaning in each other's eyes.

"This place… is no longer safe to linger!"

"Run… come back for revenge later!"

The three fallen creatures finished their parting threats.

Without looking back, they used their full speed… and fled into the distance.

Su Ning: "……"

The way they said that… it sounds like I've become the great villain somehow?

They even pulled out "thirty years east, thirty years west."

The Nine Great Saints shrugged: ……

Thirty years east, thirty years west?

Do you have any idea what situation you're in?

In the Immortal Realm, without the Immortal Senior's protection, you three might not even survive three hours!

Three idiots…

That direction is a forbidden zone — nothing that isn't a being of the Immortal Realm can survive there.

After the trio fled, they had already braced themselves for endless pursuit from the Nine Great Saints and a supreme ruler of the Immortal Realm — but they found that Su Ning hadn't moved, and neither had the Nine Great Saints…

They simply watched with interest as the trio ran, the Nine Great Saints' eyes full of mockery…

"Still daring to mock us… once my cultivation is complete, I'll definitely…"

"Hm???"

Thud, thud…

The three fallen creatures hadn't even finished playing out their revenge fantasy in their minds when they found their entire bodies going limp, and they plummeted straight toward the ground!

Accompanying it was a suffocating sensation…

Was this… the rhythm of dying?

The three fallen creatures were horrified!

They were… going to die???

But — how had this happened?
