Chapter 1568 The Escaped Immortal\'s True Appearance

"Although you\'ve been doing good so far, the Immortal still has one more trick up their sleeve. This trick is what differentiates and truly separates mortals and immortals." Kelan muttered after seeing how much Yuan was dominating the Immortal.

\'This is outrageous! Why does such a mortal exist in a place like the Fourth Heaven?! If only I weren\'t injured by the pursuers,I could\'ve killed him in seconds instead of being ridiculed like this!\' The Immortal cursed inwardly.

They had been chased nonstop since escaping the Nine Heavens Eternal Grotto and were injured in the process. If it weren\'t for their injury, Yuan wouldn\'t have been able to push the Immortal so far.

\'This mortal… should not exist! His existence is extremely dangerous! Even if I have to sacrifice my life in the process, I will get rid of him!\'

Several hours later, the Immortal\'s aura suddenly changed, causing their surroundings to freeze.

From spiritual energy to the Purple Sea, everything was still, as though time itself had frozen.

\'This pressure!\' Yuan halted his movements after sensing this familiar aura.

He excitedly smiled and said, "It\'s about time you use Immortal Qi. I was wondering when you\'d use it."

"I hate to admit this, but to force an immortal like me to use Immortal Qi on you, a mortal, is an unprecedented feat that I must respect."

As the immortal spoke, the mist around them began dissipating, revealing their true appearance for the first time.

Yuan\'s eyes widened with surprise when he saw the Immortal, who was much smaller than he\'d anticipated.

"A child?" Yuan muttered in a daze as his gaze stared at the little boy floating before him.

The Immortal\'s true form was revealed to be that of a small boy, seemingly no older than ten years. Of course, the immortal wasn\'t a real child but merely bore the appearance of one. Adding to the strangeness, a short white tail protruded from his back.

"As a show of respect, I shall fight you in my true form," said the Immortal.

"You… you\'re not human?" Yuan asked him with a strange frown.

"Do I look human to you? I am of the proud Misty Fox race." The Immortal responded in a boastful tone.

"Haa…" Yuan sighed with a genuinely disappointed look on his face. He\'d gone out of his way to fight this immortal because he thought they were human.

However, now that the Immortal is revealed to be a beast, it would no longer count toward his Unique Quest, even if he were to defeat the Immortal.

The Immortal misunderstood Yuan\'s reason for disappointment and roared, "Are you looking down on me because of my appearance?! This is why I refuse to show myself!"

Despite saying such words, the Immortal had to reveal himself mainly due to his injury. Concealing himself required a significant amount of energy, and he wouldn\'t be able to maintain it for much longer if he also had to use Immortal Qi on top of that in such a state.

In the end, the Immortal decided to throw away his defenses to focus solely on his attack power.

Yuan shook his head and said, "No, I am not looking down on you. I thought you were human, hence why I even bothered to fight you. Now that I know you\'re a beast, I don\'t really have a reason to continue fighting you."

"What kind of bullshit is that?! You disturbed my recovery and forced me to reveal myself! We\'re going to fight to death even if you don\'t want to!" The Immortal shouted.

"I never planned on backing out of our fight, anyway." Yuan smiled.

"There won\'t be any fight! I am going to massacre you now!" The Immortal roared before activating a technique using Immortal Qi instead of normal Qi.

"Immortal White Lance!"

The same technique from before was now multiple times stronger, and since they were created from Immortal Qi, Yuan would not be able to destroy them even using Dragon\'s Soul.

Furthermore, the Immortal Qi being exuded by the Immortal made it much more difficult for Yuan to move, and his entire body was screaming from pain. In fact, his muscles were being torn apart every passing second. He was essentially a sitting duck at this moment in time.

Seeing this, Kelan prepared to save Yuan.

However, despite his seeming perilous situation, Yuan did not panic.

"Die, you monster!" The Immortal gestured, causing hundreds of Immortal White Lances to rain upon Yuan.

Yet, Yuan refused to move, much less dodge the incoming attack.

"Has he given up on living?! Fool!"

Not daring to wait until it was too late, Kelan made his move, disappearing from his spot.

A split second later, Kelan appeared in front of Yuan, who was slightly surprised by this sudden intruder.

However, before Yuan could speak or take any action, Kelan released an overwhelming aura that far surpassed the Immortal and destroyed all of the Immortal\'s attacks with a mere flick of his arm, treating them like they were mere candle flickers.

The Immortal\'s entire body trembled in fear when he sensed Kelan\'s profound presence.

Unlike the Immortal, who had traversed to the Fourth Heaven illegally, Kelan received approval, so his cultivation wasn\'t as suppressed as the Immortal. However, the Immortal was sure he would not be this newcomer\'s opponent even if they had similar cultivation.

Ignoring the Immortal, Kelan turned to look at Yuan with a proud demeanor around him.

"Why did you give up at such a crucial moment, Junior? Even if you are certain of your death, as a man, you should fight until your last breath. Who knows? Maybe a miracle could\'ve happened."

Kelan expected Yuan to thank him for saving his life. Yet, Yuan had a frown on his face.

He removed the Celestial Visage so Kelan could see his frown and said coldly, "Who said I gave up? And who the hell are you? Who permitted you to interrupt our fight?"

"Huh?" Kelan muttered in a surprised tone, his expression puzzled.
