Such a scene.
It left everyone below utterly dumbfounded.
"Was that Shadow Lord just obliterated like that?"
"That was an existence that even countless Sun and Moon Immortal Realm experts, along with over ninety predecessors, couldn't handle?"
And just like that...
It's gone?
Countless Sun and Moon Immortal Realm experts stared at the sky, completely stunned.
They gasped in disbelief, unable to comprehend how quickly the situation had reversed.
They could hardly believe they were still alive.
However, once they regained their senses, waves of deafening cheers erupted across the scene.
As the cheers rang out, the sky began to clear.
The black miasma that had enveloped the heavens and earth instantly dissipated, and sunlight once again poured down. Countless auspicious clouds reappeared.
The Immortal Continents that had been struck by the attack were now fully restored, their protective formations repaired under the influx of spiritual energy.
Countless people began to feel their lost vitality and fortune gradually returning to their bodies.
At the same time, several thousand miles away from the Heavenly Immortal Palace.
Eight figures in simple robes were rushing toward the scene at breakneck speed.
"When the boundary wall trembled last time, and the black mist seeped in from outside, we thought it wouldn't amount to much. Who could have imagined it would cause such a catastrophe?"
The leading elder spoke gravely.
"Indeed. Judging by the power of that Shadow Lord, I fear even the Heavenly Immortal Palace wouldn't have been spared," another person said, his expression grim as he looked at the black mist enveloping the distant Heavenly Immortal Palace.
"No need to say more. Let's hurry and contain it," the leading man said. "We must minimize the damage. But given the Shadow Lord's power, we're likely in for a fierce battle. Everyone, be prepared!"
The others nodded solemnly, their faces heavy with determination as they sped toward the core of the Heavenly Immortal Palace.
They understood that, given the current state of the Immortal Realm, if they didn't act, no one else could deal with this Shadow Lord.
However, the next moment.
They saw the Shadow Lord over the Heavenly Immortal Palace suddenly collapse, and the sky instantly cleared.
Then.
They heard the Shadow Lord's unwilling roar.
The group was stunned.
"Was... was it destroyed?" one of them asked, dumbfounded.
"Not sure."
"Let's hurry over and see what happened!"
The group pushed their speed to the limit, racing toward the Heavenly Immortal Palace.
Meanwhile, inside the Heavenly Immortal Palace.
The crowd, overwhelmed with emotion, embraced one another, their cheers echoing endlessly.
Seeing this, the dog and Centipede quickly realized it was their chance to make their boss happy.
They opened their mouths and shouted, "Everyone, stand up and shout with us: Lu Benwei is the GOAT!"
As soon as the words left their mouths.
The entire crowd instantly rose to their feet.
"Protector Lu is the GOAT!"
"Thank you, Lord, for saving our lives!"
"Your greatness will be remembered for eternity!"
The crowd shouted fervently, their eyes filled with fanaticism as they knelt down, as if worshiping a deity.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the crowd, Lu Benwei puffed out his chest, his black robe billowing in the wind as he nodded in satisfaction.
"You all... have excellent taste..."
In his delight, Lu Benwei waved his hand.
Instantly.
The sky was filled with a radiant glow.
Under the glow, the severely injured disciples and brothers recovered, instantly returning to their peak condition.
At the same time, the Sun and Moon Immortal Realm experts who had followed them, as well as the fallen phoenixes and ancient beasts of the Jia and Qin families, were all revived.
The massive Heavenly Immortal Palace, its shattered spatial rifts repaired, now stood majestic once more. Before the grand Heavenly Gate, divine phoenixes danced, and colorful cranes soared.
Auspicious clouds filled the sky, and the Heavenly Immortal Palace regained its former golden splendor, brimming with life!
Even the survivors of the Heavenly Immortal Palace now had a sparkle in their eyes, no longer the lifeless, expressionless husks they had been before.
"Thank you, Protector Lu!"
The disciples and brothers knelt in unison.
Meanwhile, the others, witnessing Lu Benwei's power, erupted in waves of awe.
"My heavens, what am I seeing?"
"What kind of power is this?"
"Bringing the dead back to life!"
"A miracle."
"Truly a miracle."
The crowd was utterly stunned, their minds completely blown.
They had truly witnessed something extraordinary.
They now understood what real power looked like.
In that moment.
The entire crowd, following the disciples and brothers, knelt in reverence, as if worshiping a god.
"Alright, I'm outta here. This playboy's got things to do," Lu Benwei waved his hand, no longer interested in staying. "Qing, let's go, go, go! The ladies are waiting."
"Lord, please wait!"
At that moment.
The survivors of the Heavenly Immortal Palace suddenly knelt down, led by an elderly man.
"Huh? What now?"
Lu Benwei turned his head impatiently toward the elder.
"My lord, I am the former deputy master of the Heavenly Immortal Palace. Our palace was seized by traitors, and we were controlled. We deserve death a thousand times over."
"But before I die, I have one humble request."
After a brief pause, the elder continued, "Given the current turmoil, and the fact that the original palace master has long been killed, if no one takes control, the Immortal Realm will surely descend into chaos. The factions of the Immortal Realm will undergo a massive reshuffle."
"Countless lives will be lost."
"So I beg you, my lord, to stay and take charge of the situation."
With that, the elder kowtowed deeply.
"No time, no time. This playboy's got more important things to do," Lu Benwei refused without a second thought. "Besides, what's there to control in this puny little place?"
Lu Benwei rolled his eyes at the deputy master, completely uninterested, and turned to leave with the dog and Centipede.
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
