Chapter 654

Meanwhile.

Earth.

Boom!

Accompanied by a shocking vortex of immortal power, a contract origin condensed within the avatar's body. Looking at the Heavenly Dao rule fragments floating within his body, the avatar's eyes shot out a stunning brilliance.

"So this is the Immortal Monarch Realm."

"Heh, what the main body couldn't do, I have now achieved."

"Earth can finally bear an Immortal Monarch Realm... When will the enemy come? I already... cannot suppress the desire to strike."

Before this, the avatar who had possessed the Five-Colored Immortal Stone could perhaps be called Immortal Emperor material, with a tiny hope in the future of achieving the Immortal Emperor rank.

But now... having fortuitously contracted the Immortal World's rule fragments, he had achieved what many Immortal Emperors had failed to do.

Only four words were suitable to describe his current state.

Dao Master Material!

Although he had only mastered a tiny, negligible piece of the vast Heavenly Dao rule fragments, it was still something not everyone could achieve. This step was particularly incredible, laying an unimaginable foundation for Lin Jing's path ahead.

The lightning-shaped rule fragment floated above his palm, and Lin Jing vaguely sensed its power.

This was a power of... contract rules.

Relying on this power, on this Earth, whenever an enemy swore by the Heavenly Dao and failed to fulfill it, Lin Jing could mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao to attack them.

Even if the opponent were an Immortal King, Lin Jing could mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao to suppress them.

However, the conditions to achieve this were too harsh.

What normal person would swear poisonous oaths every day for no reason?

This power... also had another use.

That is, Lin Jing swearing by the Heavenly Dao himself.

As the current master of the contract rule fragments, after he swore an oath, the power of the Heavenly Dao would strengthen and assist him in order to fulfill his vow.

For example, if he swore by the Heavenly Dao that he would definitely annihilate all invading Demon clans, then when he fought the Demon clan, the power of heaven and earth would surge in, and his own power would increase significantly within the scope of the rules, assisting him as much as possible to complete the vow.

Similar to "words becoming law."

Of course, if even then he failed to complete the vow... this Heavenly Dao rule fragment he had contracted would, just like a pet beast rebelling, cause a backlash.

An ability with both advantages and disadvantages.

But undoubtedly... it was very strong.

With this power, the avatar felt that he could guard this Earth all by himself, no matter what kind of enemy the Demon clan sent.

Even if he was currently only at the first level of the Immortal Monarch Realm, what about the ninth level? As long as it wasn't the Immortal King Realm, in his eyes, there was no difference.

As for the reinforcements promised by the main body that would arrive in the future... the avatar didn't care much about them at this moment.

Because the main body could break his head and still never know what kind of feat he had accomplished in the Ancient Immortal World.

"However, if those guys still come..."

"With the current situation, guarding the lower world and guarding the Ancient Immortal World might no longer be everything."

"Instead, I should find a way to split off another body to enter the Immortal World, fulfill the promises made to the Imperial Consorts, and ferret out all the black hands from back then."

…………

"Have they come?"

Several days later.

The avatar, who was still consolidating his realm, discovered that a strong spatial fluctuation was affecting Earth. After sensing it for a moment, he stepped into the air and tore through space.

This was... a spatial passage.

A spatial passage similar to the secret path of the Xingyu Sect.

Lin Jing judged immediately that it was not someone from the Cultivation World ascending, so it was most likely that Demon clan invaders had arrived.

On the other side of the passage, a total of five Immortal Monarch Realm ninth-level Royal Blood Demon clan cultivators stepped through the air, gazing forward in the void of the passage until a point of light appeared before their eyes.

It was a young man in black clothes with pine tree patterns, standing expressionless at the end of the passage.

Seeing this person for the first time, the five Demon Monarchs recognized his identity and could not help but be extremely shocked.

"The Destiny Person, Lin Jing!"

One of the female Demon Monarchs frowned and said, "That's not right. The Destiny Person should be in the lower world; how could he appear in the Ancient Immortal World..."

"And he possesses the aura of Royal Demon Blood... Is it an avatar?"

"The avatar actually has the cultivation of the first level of the Immortal Monarch Realm. Incredible. It seems the one who intercepted those three Demon Princes not long ago was him."

This group of Demon Monarchs quickly figured everything out. It was likely that under the arrangements of other Immortal Emperors, the avatar of the Destiny Person Lin Jing... had entered the Ancient Immortal World to become a World Guardian.

They didn't know what kind of resources those Immortal Emperors had provided to allow a newly ascended person—and an avatar separated from the main body at that—to break through a major realm from the first level of the True Immortal Realm to the Immortal Monarch Realm in such a short time.

However, although the Lin Jing avatar before them had Immortal Monarch cultivation, the five Demon Monarchs who had arrived this time were all elite forces of the Demon clan.

Let alone a first-level Immortal Monarch, even if a first-level Immortal King were here to intercept them, the five of them, carrying the top-grade immortal treasure Five Elements Orbs bestowed by the Demon Lord, were not afraid in the slightest.

"I..."

Before the five could make a move, that figure spoke first.

"I hereby swear by the Heavenly Dao that I will annihilate all of you invaders, leaving not a single one behind..."

Snort.

After Lin Jing finished speaking, the four of them sneered, but only one revealed an extremely solemn expression. Among the five, she held the Water Orb from the top-grade immortal treasure Five Elements Orbs and had the keenest perception. She discovered that when Lin Jing spoke, the Earth's Heavenly Dao seemed to respond to him.

Sure enough.

After the words fell, Lin Jing's body was instantly suffused with rules, the Great Dao blossomed, and infinite power surged into Lin Jing's body. His realm rose again and again, and in just a short moment, it actually reached the ninth level of the Immortal Monarch Realm, just like them. And because it was a Heavenly Dao empowerment, in terms of the solidity of his foundation, it was even above theirs.

"Impossible." The Demon Monarchs' eyes cracked with shock. How could the oath of a mere avatar receive a response from the Heavenly Dao?

Because he was the Destiny Person?

That was also impossible. One had to know that even if a Destiny Person's destiny were snatched away, the Heavenly Dao would not have any reaction; it was impossible for it to favor him like a biological son...

Immediately after... an even more staggering situation appeared before them. Without knowing what had happened, like the dead returning to life, ten decaying stone men holding long blades stood behind Lin Jing.

These ten skeletons each had the cultivation of the ninth level of the Immortal Monarch Realm, and their bodies were filled with a murderous aura, giving them the feeling that these stone men... had, without exception, been demons who had slaughtered countless immortals during their lifetimes.

To deal with this group of invaders, Lin Jing did not choose to use the Mosquito Beasts.

Instead... he sacrificed those immortal general stone skeletons guarding the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb.

While Soul Control could indeed raise any pet beast to the same realm as himself, how much power a pet beast could exert was also related to their own innate talent and aptitude. Mosquito Beasts... were fine as sacrifices, but for combat, they were not the optimal choice!

These immortal soldiers and generals who could be buried with the Heavenly Emperor... were the best warriors.

"Kill..."

…………

Several days later.

The ascension passage appeared, and a group of pet beasts who had ascended to immortality hurried over to support the lone avatar. However, just after ascending to the familiar Ancient Immortal World, they saw in the void a man in black sitting on the crumbling corpses of the Demon Monarchs, using their flesh and blood... to feed swarms of Mosquito Beasts.

Seeing the Pine-Leaf Rat and the others, the avatar was slightly stunned.

The Pine-Leaf Rat and the others were also slightly stunned.

"You guys... are late," the avatar said.

"Five Immortal Monarchs, not a single one left, though there are still some organs left... You guys, want to have them while they're hot?"

"Squeak?" "Bo??" "Grandma Gu, what's going on?!" A group of pet beasts were completely bewildered.

Wait, did they ascend to the wrong place? Which side was the main body, anyway?
