"I support Immortal King Yunhua's opinion." At this moment, Qi Yu expressed his agreement with Immortal King Yunhua's view.
The fact that the two most powerful beings both believed they should be killed instantly shook the will of many Celestial Kings.
Ultimately, after weighing the pros and cons, the kings made a new choice and decided to execute the four traitors as well.
The execution of the Immortal King was undoubtedly a major event. In addition to the kings watching, the Immortal Realm army also arrived. One warship after another stood in the void, each with varying degrees of damage, and filled with Immortal Realm creatures, all looking in astonishment at the starry universe ahead.
There, the kings built an execution platform, imposing and filled with a chilling atmosphere.
The execution instrument was a guillotine evolved from Yunhua's stone hairpin, and a guillotine was built based on it.
Subsequently, one after another, the Dark Immortal Kings were led to the guillotine and forcibly pressed under the blade.
The mottled grooves and the chilling gleam of the guillotine were terrifying. The Dark Immortal King faced upwards, watching helplessly as the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine hung high, releasing its terrifying light.
Suddenly, a loud whooshing sound rang out, and the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine fell down with lightning speed. During this process, Yun Hua used his own supreme Dao Fruit to enhance the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine, giving it the ability to obliterate the essence of an Immortal King in a short period of time.
"puff!"
As the head fell to the ground, the Dark Immortal King couldn't help but cry out in shock, for his primordial spirit had also been severed. This power was too terrifying, causing the supposedly immortal and indestructible primordial spirit of the supreme immortal king to decline.
"No!" After a scream, the Dark Immortal King perished, his origin turning into nothingness.
On the execution platform, all the kings marveled at the extraordinary methods of Immortal King Yunhua. To execute an Immortal King in this way, they could only rely on Immortal King Yunhua's weapons and Dao fruits.
No sooner had one Dark Immortal King been executed than another was brought in.
Witnessing their companions beheaded and perish in pain and struggle, the dark creatures that followed were somewhat terrified. The crimson guillotine covered in the king's blood was too terrifying; in the face of its blade, immortality became a beautiful joke.
In a chilling atmosphere, yet another dark being was executed, its head falling to the ground.
The kings watched this scene expressionlessly, while the beings in the immortal army were filled with shock. The execution of the high and mighty immortal king in this way was beyond their imagination, and the shock was unparalleled.
Soon, the dark creatures were all executed, and it was the turn of the four traitors from the Immortal Realm.
"No matter who it is, betraying the Immortal Realm and falling into darkness will ultimately lead to their death and annihilation." Qi Yu spoke coldly, intimidating all the living beings present.
Subsequently, King Xu, King Rong, King Zun, and King Yu were escorted to the execution platform one by one. They longed to speak and tell the world that they were born as dark beings, not fallen ones, but unfortunately, they were sealed and could not speak.
With one crisp sound after another, four heads fell to the ground. The King-Slaying Guillotine was stained with blood and gleamed with an unparalleled ferocity. Four supreme Dark Immortal Kings became the victims of its blade.
"Boom!"
Heaven and earth wept, but the four supreme beings of darkness ultimately rose to prominence in the Immortal Realm. Their deaths caused turmoil in the universe, and one strange phenomenon after another emerged.
In response, Tai Shi took direct action, using his immense magical power to annihilate all the strange phenomena and forcefully suppress them, preventing them from manifesting.
With this, all the Dark Immortal Kings were executed, and the matter came to an end. This not only intimidated all beings below the Immortal King level, but also sent chills down the spines of the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Realm. Even if they harbored thoughts of rebellion in the future, they would have to carefully consider the consequences of such a rebellion.
On the execution platform, headless corpses were neatly arranged one after another, their heads piled up haphazardly to the side. Crimson blood mixed with black Immortal King's blood flowed from their wounds, staining the entire platform and making it look even more eerie and bloody.
Yunhua, Qiyu, and the other giants joined forces to dispel the dark matter on the execution platform, sealing it away. In the future, it will become a major symbol of the Immortal Realm, representing its supreme majesty.
Just as the Immortal Realm was conducting its post-war reckoning and carrying out a major execution, beheading the Dark Immortal King, deep within the Dark Continent, incredibly far away, a terrifying figure stood before a majestic ancient palace shrouded in chaotic energy, its gaze intimidating as it coldly surveyed the borderlands.
"Master, what's wrong?" A huge white tiger, exuding a terrifying killing intent, walked over and asked softly.
The tall figure did not turn around. Its appearance was terrifying, with nine heads. The middle one was humanoid with disheveled gray hair, while the two on either side were eight different ancient beast heads.
Behind the towering figure, the palace was dilapidated yet magnificent, radiating a sacred and peaceful golden light. If it weren't for the black mist that permeated the area, making it look extremely eerie, one would truly think it was a sacred land.
The nine-headed creature watched as the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Realm executed the Dark Immortal King. With its hands behind its back, its eyes were sharp and intimidating, revealing its extreme arrogance.
However, at this moment, his gaze was very solemn.
As the mount of the nine-headed creature, the enormous white tiger with silver pupils and fur brimming with the energy of metal was seeing the nine-headed creature in this state for the first time.
Chapter 463 Supporting the Nine Heavens
"That ancient realm is truly unpredictable. Before you know it, another invincible being has risen to power," the humanoid head in the center of the nine-headed creature remarked.
“Master, you flatter me. These chickens and dogs are no match for you,” the giant white tiger said.
The nine-headed monster shook its head and pointed into the distance.
"There, a being with the taboo name Yunhua was able to annihilate even a Celestial King without having sublimated his Dao Fruit. If given time to sublimate his Dao Fruit, it would be unimaginable."
Seemingly understanding the unspoken meaning in the nine-headed monster's words, the giant white tiger's silver pupils revealed a chilling killing intent.
"What does Master want to do?"
Upon hearing this, the nine-headed monster's expression turned dark and menacing.
"While he hasn't yet achieved enlightenment, let's find an opportunity to severely injure him and kill him." He revealed his thoughts.
For countless years, the Nine-Headed Monster has remained hidden in this dilapidated ancient temple of guidance, never emerging into the world or actively provoking the Celestial Kings and causing conflict with the Celestial Realm.
The only instance of killing occurred several eras ago when a powerful figure from the Immortal Realm came to the uninhabited area, seeking to investigate the matter.
The White Tiger's warning was ignored by the giant. In the end, the arrogant giant of the Immortal Realm stormed into the ancient palace, which led to the appearance of the Nine-Headed Monster. He paid the price for his impulsiveness with his life and remained in the Ancient Palace of Guidance forever.
Subsequently, the giant's physical body became a station for a fusion of primordial spirits within the ancient palace, greatly increasing its strength.
If it weren't for the fact that the Nine-Headed Monster's body was stronger than that giant's, no one else would have a chance. Here, the Nine-Headed Monster is absolutely number one.
This ancient temple of guidance has gathered many fused primordial spirits. Among them, the nine-headed monster is the most amazing, already an unparalleled giant. However, he is still not satisfied with his current physical body. If he had a more powerful physical body, he would not hesitate to replace it.
"When does Master plan to make his move? Now, the Immortal Realm has won a great victory in the border war, all the kings are present, and there are as many as five giants. With our strength, I'm afraid we will find it difficult to shake the Immortal Realm," the White Tiger said with slight worry.
The nine-headed monster replied, "Of course we can't take action in the Immortal Realm. Once the matter in the Immortal Realm is settled, Yunhua will inevitably go back to aid the Primordial Ancient Realm. At that time, a great battle will be inevitable, and that will be our opportunity to ambush him."
Upon hearing this, Baihu nodded. The strength of the alien realm was far superior to that of the Dark Immortal Kings who had just attacked the Immortal Realm; their top-tier combat power was worlds apart.
Kundi, Wushang, Pumowang, Chiwang, Tuntianwang, and Zijinwang are all incredibly fierce giants, and it is impossible for the Light faction to defeat them instantly.
"It's a pity that Yunhua is on the path of the world, and her physical body is of the plant family. Otherwise, she would have helped me cultivate a perfect physique." The nine-headed monster shook his head, feeling somewhat regretful.
……
In the Immortal Realm, all matters were settled, and the Immortal Realm army withdrew from this vast universe that had fallen into darkness. Every True Immortal warship that entered the Immortal Realm had to be scanned by an Immortal Mirror hanging high in the sky.
That is the Immortal Mirror, the natal weapon of a famous Immortal King. It can expose all evils in the world, and any strange thing will have nowhere to hide after being exposed to the Immortal Mirror.
"what!"
A scream came from a massive warship. A once-normal cultivator went mad in the immortal light, his body spewing out black mist as if countless venomous snakes were coiled together.
The surrounding creatures were terrified and avoided it like the plague. Every cultivator was filled with lingering fear. Who could have imagined that their "fellow Daoist" who had just been chatting and laughing with them had been corrupted by darkness and fallen into it?
It was simply concealed, even the divine sense of a true immortal was hidden, and they were unable to detect it.
If such a fallen being were allowed into the vast land of the Immortal Realm, finding him would be like searching for a needle in a haystack—almost impossible.
A few more epochs later, if the Fallen Ones are fortunate enough to attain the Way and become Kings, they will be the next traitors.
Upon realizing this, the cultivators were horrified, deeply understanding the terrifying nature of dark matter, how difficult it was to defend against, and how it could penetrate every nook and cranny.
Fortunately, the Celestial King's weapon, the Celestial Mirror, was there. Under its illumination, the celestial light obliterated all the eerie darkness.
Before long, several more screams came from the warship, and even a True Immortal among the warship's high-ranking officers fell into despair.
He tried to fight his way out, but unfortunately, his strength was far inferior. As soon as his feet left the ground, he was blasted into ashes by the Immortal Mirror.
If a single warship has more than a dozen hidden Fallen Ones, one can imagine how many warships there would be.
The Celestial Kings were not surprised by this. Let alone the Celestial Mirror, they could easily find many with a simple scan, but they simply disdained to take action. With the Celestial Mirror present, no fallen one could escape alive.
On the battlefield where the Celestial Army and the Dark Army clashed, many things could happen in an instant, and no one could keep an eye on everything. Therefore, it was perfectly normal for the Fallen to hide from the Celestial Army.
Yunhua paid no attention to these petty squabbles, but instead focused his attention on the Immortal Realm camp.
His gaze was so sharp and terrifying that even a supreme immortal king felt a slight stinging sensation on his skin.
"Everyone, the Immortal Realm is only being feigned. Right now, the Nine Heavens are under full-scale attack by the Immortal King of the alien realm. I urge you all to join me in going to the Nine Heavens. Let's not wait until we are both vulnerable. Without the Nine Heavens as a buffer, the Immortal Realm will face endless invasions from the alien realm!"
Many Immortal Kings from the Immortal Realm looked troubled. After all, being tainted by darkness and supporting the Nine Heavens risked their lives, but not supporting them was not an option either, as the Nine Heavens could not suffer heavy losses, much less be destroyed.
"Many fellow Daoists probably don't know this yet, but while the four Void Kings and the Dark Immortal King of the Boundary Sea were colluding to invade the Immortal Realm, another great war broke out in another realm, the Primordial Ancient Realm, which was even more intense than ours."
Because they are facing a full-scale attack from another realm, some immortal giants familiar to fellow cultivators are among them, such as Kundi, Wushang, Pumo King, Chi Wang, Tuntian King, Zijin King…”
As soon as the words were spoken, the kings of the Immortal Realm were in an uproar, shocked by the news.
All their attention was focused on the Immortal Realm, on their battle against the dark creatures. No one had time to pay attention to the situation in the Primordial Ancient Realm. Unexpectedly, the war in that realm was even more terrifying, with so many powerful figures from the alien realm actually being mobilized.
"Kundi...is that old thing still alive?" A Celestial King frowned.
"Wu Shang, a terrifying giant immune to magic..."
……
The kings recounted the events and were all worried for the Primordial Ancient Realm. The alien realm was a great realm comparable to the Immortal Realm, with an astonishing number of giants and countless supreme immortal kings. If the entire realm were to invade, it would be impossible for the Primordial Ancient Realm to resist it with its own strength.
Subsequently, the kings understood Yunhua's meaning and requested that all the kings of the Immortal Realm go to the Primordial Ancient Realm to provide support.
Ao Sheng, Tai Shi, Yuan Chu, and the others naturally knew this as well, and their expressions were extremely grim.
Although I am not currently in the Primordial Ancient Realm and cannot see the intensity of the war there, just hearing the names of those few immortal giants who are famous throughout the heavens is enough to imagine the terror of the Primordial Ancient Realm battlefield. It must be a place of endless war, with immortal kings shouting and bloody battles.
Participating in this battle not only carries the risk of being corrupted by dark matter, but also the possibility of dying at any moment.
Ao Sheng and the others naturally did not want to go. That was the Primordial Ancient Realm, not the Immortal Realm. What did its destruction have to do with them?
Even if we're going to provide support, we can't just condemn all the kings of the Immortal Realm and order them all to go.
Chapter 644 Drawing Aid from the Nine Heavens
Seeing that the kings and others from the Immortal Realm did not answer and looked constipated, Yun Hua's eyes grew even colder.
"What? You are unwilling?"
As he spoke, the supreme voice of the scriptures resounded, permeating Yunhua's body, and countless worlds appeared around him. The aura he exuded was so powerful that even the most powerful immortal king felt suffocated.
The next moment, the Emperor Sword and the Three Thousand Worlds appeared, exuding murderous intent and shaking the heavens and the earth.
The kings of the Immortal Realm changed color, feeling very wary. They had just witnessed Yun Hua displaying great power and slaying the Dark Immortal King. Now, was he about to launch another attack from within their own ranks?
Ao Sheng and the others felt suffocated. It was impossible not to be wary. Now, they could only turn their attention to giants like Qi Yu.
Qi Yu looked at Yun Hua with a deep gaze and replied, "We can go, but not all of us can. The Immortal Realm needs someone to stay behind."
At this moment, Yunhua smiled and replied, "Of course, I will personally lead the fellow Daoists to the Primordial Ancient Realm battlefield, and I will be at the forefront."
"The Primordial Ancient Realm does indeed need support, but our realm has just been struck by a black calamity, resulting in the deaths of three fellow Daoists, and many others are seriously injured and unable to fight for some time."
Who knows if the darkness will return after its complete annihilation? At that time, a sufficiently powerful force must remain to defend it.
Although the Immortal Realm won a great victory in this Black Calamity, the casualty ratio was more than 3 to 20, making it a very glorious achievement.
But in reality, it was a very dangerous situation. If Yunhua hadn't been prescient and foreseen the outbreak of war, and hadn't invited the giants of the Immortal Realm out, the losses to the Immortal Realm would probably have been even more severe, and they might not have been able to capture all the invaders.
Besides this gate, there are nine other gates in the Immortal Realm. No one knows whether the Dark Faction will be unwilling to accept defeat and will make a comeback to attack the Immortal Realm again.
Under such circumstances, no Immortal King in any Immortal Realm would be willing to drain the Immortal Realm's resources to provide massive support to the Primordial Ancient Realm.
Although both are from the same ancient realm and share the same stance, making them allies, defending one's own territory is more important than rescuing an ally.
The major powers of the Immortal Realm also share this view. Darkness could strike again at any time, and this must be guarded against. It is necessary to leave behind a sufficiently powerful force to protect the Immortal Realm.
He had figured out what the giants of the Immortal Realm were thinking: they were unwilling to leave the Immortal Realm easily unless the threat of the dark creatures attacking the Immortal Realm was completely eliminated.
Since that's the case, Yunhua didn't force them. He couldn't just drag the giants of the Immortal Realm to the battlefield of the Primordial Ancient Realm, just like he did with Ao Sheng's camp.
If we do this, not only will it fail, but the prestige that Yunhua has worked so hard to build will also collapse.
"Who is willing to follow me to support the Primordial Ancient Realm?" Yun Hua asked, his sharp eyes sweeping over the kings of the Immortal Realm.
“I’ll accompany Fellow Daoist Yunhua on this trip. With Fellow Daoist Qi Yu, Fellow Daoist King Zhi, and Fellow Daoist King Yi overseeing things in the Immortal Realm, there shouldn’t be any major problems,” King Yun said, stepping forward.
Subsequently, Pan Wang, Hunyuan Immortal King, Wuji, and others all stepped forward, expressing their willingness to follow Yun Hua to the Primordial Ancient Realm.
The other immortal kings of the immortal realms remained silent, none of them willing to risk their lives.
They had witnessed the fall of the three Immortal Kings of the Immortal Realm, and it was impossible for them not to be worried.
Upon seeing this, Yunhua's gaze turned cold.
"I think you all understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.' As a buffer zone between the Immortal Realm and the Other Realm, if the Primordial Ancient Realm is destroyed, it will not benefit the Immortal Realm at all."
Moreover, the kings of the alien realms are not madmen. Their full-scale invasion of the Primordial Ancient Realm is driven by a purpose, and whatever that purpose may be, it is detrimental to the Immortal Realm and must be stopped.
"This isn't just a matter for Yunhua alone; it's a matter for everyone in the Immortal Realm. Since no one is willing to volunteer, let's have a fairer way: draw lots to decide who will fight." Yunhua spoke, his eyes burning as he swept across the faces of every Immortal King.
After he finished speaking, not a single Immortal King uttered a rebuttal, because they were all facts, not reasons that Yun Hua was making up.
