Chapter 962

The Primordial Chaos Great Thousand World!

The Ancient Battlefield of Myriad Clans!

The Tianluo Great Thousand Tree!

"Nine Lotus King!"

"Has it reached this point... and you still won't show yourself?!"

After the Time King appeared, he did not look at the Saint Light King, but said with extreme calmness, like an ancient well without ripples.

"Nine Lotus King?! Indeed, there are other Taiyi..."

The Bai Zhi Demon King's gaze condensed, his expression unchanged, having anticipated this long ago.

"My Tianluo Great Thousand Fruit... Nine Lotus King?! The Nine Lotus King ranked third on the Taiyi Ranking?!"

The Saint Light King looked at the Tianluo Great Thousand Fruit within arm's reach with a face full of unwillingness, both angry and anxious.

He very much wanted to strike again, but with the Time King here, and the Nine Lotus King in the shadows... there was simply no opportunity at all.

At this very moment, around the Tianluo Great Thousand Tree, the Time King, Nine Lotus King, Saint Light King, Bai Zhi Demon King, Ghost King, Biluo Underworld King, and Jingyun God King—seven Taiyi existences—stood in separate positions, confronting and checking one another.

"Time King! Nine Lotus King! Saint Light King! Bai Zhi Demon King! On the Taiyi Ranking, excluding the top-ranked Heavenly Mandate King, the top five Taiyi... have all come?!"

The Ghost King of the Nine Nether Sect had an extremely grave expression.

After all, there were only three Tianluo Great Thousand Fruits, yet four of the top five on the Taiyi Ranking had arrived, and adding himself, as well as the Biluo Underworld King of the Underworld Clan and the Jingyun God King of the God Clan on the side, there were a total of seven Taiyi existences.

Although his ranking on the Taiyi Ranking was not in the top twenty, that was because he rarely killed Taiyi cultivators, and more importantly, he was searching for cultivation resources, so his ranking could not go up.

"The two of you! Let's join forces!"

"There are exactly three Tianluo Great Thousand Fruits! If the three of us join forces, we can split them equally!"

The Jingyun God King of the God Clan had a flickering gaze as he scanned the entire field, looking at the Ghost King and Biluo Underworld King on the side, and said slowly.

"Join forces, you say?!"

The Biluo Underworld King was startled, thought for a moment, and nodded slightly, "Very well!"

"Then let's join forces! And split the Tianluo Great Thousand Fruits equally!"

The Ghost King was also a decisive person; knowing that he could not obtain the Tianluo Great Thousand Fruits with his own strength alone, he chose to join forces.

As soon as the words fell, in an instant, the three Taiyi—the Ghost King, Biluo Underworld King, and Jingyun God King—had their auras connected; ghost energy, Biluo essence, and Jingyun divine light surged into the sky, forming a three-colored cloud that rained down rays of light, their momentum shaking the heavens and the earth.

"Hmm?! Ghost King, Biluo Underworld King, Jingyun God King... these three actually chose to join forces?!"

The Bai Zhi Demon King's expression changed slightly when he saw this scene.

He looked left and right; the Time King was expressionless, facing them indifferently; the Nine Lotus King smiled lightly, unconcerned; the Saint Light King's expression changed slightly, revealing a look of vigilance, yet he remained calm and unhurried.

The Bai Zhi Demon King also wanted to join forces with other Taiyi; after all, there were three Tianluo Great Thousand Fruits, and he only needed one.

However, whether it was the Time King, the Nine Lotus King, or the Saint Light King... none of them looked like existences that could join forces.

The Saint Light King might be a possibility, but... the probability was not high.

"Hehe! Interesting! Truly interesting!"

"It seems... there are some things that can no longer be hidden!"

"Since they cannot be hidden, then I must maximize the gains!"

"This time! I must not only obtain a Tianluo Great Thousand Fruit! I must also obtain this... Tianluo Great Thousand Tree!"

"After all! A fruit is just a fruit! But this Tianluo Great Thousand Tree is not only a top-grade innate spiritual root! It has even nurtured innate creation spiritual light!"

The Bai Zhi Demon King lowered his gaze, and in his mind, thousands of thoughts moved in unison.

In less than a single breath, he had devised countless plans.

Boom!

At the same time, the very moment the auras of the Ghost King, Biluo Underworld King, and Jingyun God King connected, the three Taiyi peaks struck out in unison, charging toward the Tianluo Great Thousand Fruits.

The Ghost King had three flowers atop his head, the flowers blooming to the tenth grade, and within each lotus flower, a spiritual treasure emerged.

These three spiritual treasures were the mid-grade innate spiritual treasure White Bone Banner, the mid-grade innate spiritual treasure Impermanence Rope, and the top-grade innate spiritual treasure Ghost Bottle!

The three flowers nourished the spiritual treasures, and the spiritual treasures nurtured the three flowers, complementing each other.

Not only that, but in front of the Ghost King's chest, five rays of divine light converged, circulating the power of the five elements, manifesting five deities; however, these five deities fused into one, transforming into a nearly solid deity, ethereal and dark, emitting an aura unique to the netherworld.

This was the Ghost Five Elements Deity, condensed from the method of gathering the five qi within the chest, unique to the Nine Nether Sect!

The Ghost Five Elements qi circulated throughout his entire body; the Ghost King himself was glowing and becoming illusory, with countless ghost laws rising.

This was the Ghost Dao Body, which seemed to have reached the first stage of perfection, sufficient to carry the Ghost Great Dao of the Ghost King!

Whoosh!

A sound of water surged; around the Ghost King's body, those countless rising ghost laws actually condensed slowly, forming something like an illusory long river of laws.

This long river of laws was, in reality, the Ghost Great Dao of the Ghost King.

However, this Ghost Great Dao seemed not to have completely transformed to perfection, as ghost laws were constantly drifting outside.

And when there were no more ghost laws drifting and a long river of laws was completely formed, that would be when the Ghost King had completely condensed the Ghost Great Dao!

And now, the Ghost King's three flowers had bloomed to the tenth grade, he had gathered the Ghost Five Elements qi in his chest, and his Ghost Dao Body was nearly perfect, with only the Ghost Great Dao lacking a sliver... it could be said that the Ghost King's path to Daluo had already been traversed by ninety-five percent!

What followed was to completely condense the Ghost Great Dao, and then he could attempt to transcend the long river of fate; once the transcendence was successful and the Daluo Dao Fruit descended, he could attain the Daluo fruit status!

But transcending the long river of fate was incredibly difficult; even with supreme talent and monstrous ability, one would still be bound, submerged, and assimilated by the long river of fate, eventually turning into a fish constantly jumping in the long river of fate, a grain of sand sinking to the bottom of the water, or even... a drop of water that completely merged into the long river of fate.

This was also the reason why the Ghost King was obsessed with obtaining the Tianluo Great Thousand Fruit; not only could it allow him to comprehend the Daluo intent and a second law Great Dao, but it also provided an opportunity for enlightenment and could increase the success rate of transcending the long river of fate... for all these reasons, the Ghost King naturally would not let it go.

It was not just the Ghost King; the Biluo Underworld King also had ten-grade three flowers blooming atop his head, with three innate spiritual treasures rotating leisurely; in his chest, the Biluo Five Elements qi circulated, condensing a Biluo Five Elements Deity; around his body, green light faintly radiated, and the Biluo Dao Body manifested, carrying a long river of laws—the Biluo Great Dao.

The Jingyun God King also had three flowers blooming to the tenth grade, with three innate spiritual treasures appearing and disappearing; the Jingyun Five Elements qi manifested, condensing the Jingyun Five Elements Deity; the Jingyun Dao Body emerged, carrying a long river of laws—the Jingyun Great Dao!

It could be said that the Biluo Underworld King and Jingyun God King were not much different from the Ghost King, with their paths to Daluo having been traversed by ninety-four point eight percent and ninety-four point five percent, respectively.

And reaching this step, one could become... a half-step Daluo!

Yes!

Whether it was the Ghost King, the Biluo Underworld King, or the Jingyun God King, they were all... half-step Daluo!

Truly and undeniably half-step Daluo!

And! Among the half-step Daluo, these three kings were also powerhouses!

In this instant, the Ghost King, Biluo Underworld King, and Jingyun God King—the three half-step Daluo—all erupted completely, no longer holding back!

The three Great Daos, appearing and disappearing, swept out like three divine dragons, charging and crashing wherever they passed, annihilating everything into nothingness, swearing to obtain those three Tianluo Great Thousand Fruits.

Anyone who dared to block them was an enemy!
