Chapter 212: Immortal King

Beyond the Wan Yao Great World lies the endless cosmic void.

Four towering figures stand amid the star rivers, their auras grinding the surrounding meteoroids into dust.

This is where the world barrier of the Wan Yao Great World resides.

A thick, turtle‑shell‑like green light shield envelops the entire world tightly.

On the surface of the shield, the Immortal King Dao that Wan Yao Shenjun laid before his death has become a series of azure wandering dragons, constantly roaming to repel external erosion.

"Wumian, you've been in charge of this region for at least a million years."

Huanghun Immortal King, clad in sunset battle armor, folds his arms, and the twin dormant suns in his eyes emit unabashed mockery,

"Don't tell this seat that you've lingered here so long without even devising a way to breach the gate. If you're truly this useless, you might as well relinquish your position early, lest you delay the master's grand scheme."

Wumian Immortal King's visage is a swirling vortex of darkness.

Upon hearing the words, the vortex's rotation accelerates noticeably, revealing his extreme displeasure.

His clone was slain by Gu Cangsheng, his origin wounded, which already left him seething with anger.

Now being forced by his peers to surrender the treasured land he has cultivated for years, he swallows that breath with great difficulty.

"Huanghun, put away that smug face," Wumian Immortal King's voice is hoarse like two sandpapers grinding, "Although Wan Yao Shenjun is dead, the garden he left behind is linked to the Boundary Core by its array. A forceful assault would only trigger the Boundary Core, leaving everyone empty‑handed."

"Stop using the Boundary Core as an excuse."

Qiankou Immortal King's massive stone body leans forward, its thousands of mouths opening and closing in unison, emitting a deafening cacophony,

"Even if the four of us join forces, forcibly stripping the Boundary Core is no difficulty. You are clearly hoarding secrets."

Tuotian Immortal King lets his hands hang, the broad palms radiating a heavy earthen‑yellow aura.

He halts the argument, his gaze fixed on Wumian.

"Wumian, the matter has come to this, delay is meaningless. Since you have long planned to monopolize this world, you must be holding a trump card. Reveal it, cooperate with us to break the barrier. Once achieved, you may take an extra ten percent of the true immortal Wan Yao inside."

Tuotian's words amount to offering a stepping stone.

Wumian Immortal King lets out a cold snort.

What does taking an extra ten percent mean?

If this hadn't existed, all of these should have been his!

"This seat indeed has means."

He flips his palm, and a cracked azure jade talisman appears,

"The core defense of the Wan Yao Divine Garden is a lethal Great Array formed by three hundred Evergreen Guard, which has three major core nodes. This seat spent three hundred thousand years, using the Fallen Law to infiltrate bit by bit, and only recently fully seized one of the cores."

He lifts the talisman high: "As long as this seat activates this talisman, the Evergreen Guard's Great Array will develop a flaw; then the internal defenses will be void, and the energy supply to the world barrier will be cut off. With the four of us combined, a single strike can tear open a breach."

Huanghun Immortal King lifts his eyelid: "Only infiltrated one core? With that efficiency, can you even be called an Immortal King?"

"What do you know?" Wumian retorts sharply, "That is a restriction personally laid by the Jue Dian Immortal King, master of arrays! Penetrating even one has already cost this seat countless effort."

He no longer heeds Huanghun's provocation, and injects a strand of Immortal King's origin into the talisman.

The talisman emits a dim, fallen light, attempting to link with a certain node inside the Wan Yao Great World.

Moments later, on Wumian Immortal King's faceless visage, the vortex oddly stalls for an instant.

"How could this be?"

"What went wrong?"

Tuotian Immortal King furrows his brow, his palm already gathering power.

Wumian Immortal King stares intently at the talisman in his hand, his tone laced with unmistakable astonishment and ecstatic delight:

"Another major core… suddenly weakened! No, it directly collapsed! The Evergreen Guard's array balance has been shattered, and my Fallen Law spreads accordingly; now… this seat possesses half the control!"

Upon hearing this, the other three Immortal Kings all wore strange expressions.

"Internal collapse?"

Qiankou Immortal King's thousands of mouths cease their roar simultaneously, "Could it be that the world Great Array of Wan Yao Shenjun malfunctioned from prolonged operation?"

"Regardless of the cause."

Huanghun Immortal King is the first to react, greed swelling in his eyes, "Even if a new Immortal King suddenly emerges on the opposite side, with us here it would merely be a death march."

The three's eyes flash, all agreeing with Huanghun Immortal King's words.

Indeed.

Leaving aside whether the natives of the Wan Yao Great World could become Immortal Kings,

Even if they did,

With the foundation of a single great world, they would only become the most worthless Immortal King.

Perhaps… if a top‑tier True Immortal from the Grand Dao lineage existed, they might successfully overthrow an Immortal King.

At this moment, Wumian Immortal King makes his move.

Half the control, plus his Immortal King‑level power.

Enough to cause devastating interference to this defense system.

He fully drives the talisman, the Fallen Law crossing the void, striking hard into the core of the Wan Yao Great World.

The visible green light shield encasing the Wan Yao Great World flickers a few times violently, its surface azure dragon shadows becoming ethereal and dim.

"Now!"

Tuotian Immortal King roars.

His palm, like a massive shield, is raised above his head and slams hard onto the shield's weakest point.

Huanghun Immortal King summons a pitch‑black sunset and hurls it at the same spot.

Qiankou Immortal King spews out thousands of sonic blade waves, while Wumian Immortal King swings a corpse‑bone spear.

The four Immortal Kings combine for a single strike—how terrifying.

There is no earth‑shaking explosion.

The world barrier, upon contact with this force, silently melted away a huge hole with a radius of a hundred li.

Extremely rich medicinal fragrance surged out through the hole; taking a whiff, it made the four Immortal Kings feel refreshed throughout their bodies.

"Open!"

The Twilight Immortal King flickered his form, about to rush in.

"Wait!"

The Supporting Heaven Immortal King grabbed him and stopped him.

"Although this world's barrier is broken, the world heart remains intact; the world's will exerts strong rejection and suppression on Immortal Kings who cross over. If a true body forces its way in, the first one will likely suffer backlash."

"What do we do? Just watch?"

"Separate divine sense avatars." The Supporting Heaven Immortal King decisively ordered, "The strongest beings in this world are merely plant-spirit pseudo-true immortals, the strongest at most early-mid True Immortal. With our divine sense avatars' strength, the four of us combined can easily sweep through; first we will control the world heart, then gradually refine it."

The four Immortal Kings reached an agreement.

Each from their foreheads flew out a brilliant divine light, passing through that hole and directly descending into the Myriad Medicines Great World.
