Chapter 247: Supreme Immortal King

Dragon Province, Heavenly Dragon Ridge.

Old Dragon Lord was bringing his dragon sons and grandsons to serve as a drill for the Gu Family formation master deep in the earth veins.

At the moment the deep blue light band poured into the law node, his massive dragon body stiffened suddenly.

"This... this aura..."

The Old Dragon Lord's vertical pupils dilated to the maximum.

The dragon race's sensitivity to the origin is incredibly keen.

He needed no analysis, no reasoning; relying solely on his innate bloodline intuition, he could judge...

The master of this origin is a genuine Immortal King.

And he is an Immortal King who was beaten to death.

The fear and despair lingering in the origin are so thick they turn bitter.

The Old Dragon Lord's dragon whiskers were trembling.

The Gu Family formation master riding on his back patted his dragon scales: "Senior Dragon Elder? Spacing out?"

"No... I wasn't spacing out."

The Old Dragon Lord swallowed, then continued drilling forward.

While drilling, he silently muttered in his heart: "I've found the right person, I've found the right person, I've found the right person."

Sea Province, Azure Wave Pavilion.

Hai Wuyang was checking the last few pages of details on the earth vein map.

In the instant the light band pierced the deep abyss law undercurrents of the seabed, the jade slip in his hand snapped with a 'pa'.

It wasn't crushed by his hand.

It was the sealing array pattern on the jade slip; upon contact with an Immortal King–level law wave, it spontaneously disintegrated.

Hai Wuyang stood rooted, gazing at the jade slip fragments scattered across the ground, silent for a full thirty breaths.

Then he turned, entered the Azure Wave Pavilion's treasury, and took the last item not yet taken out—the pavilion's treasure… a fist‑sized deep sea mystic pearl, placed it into his storage bag, and personally delivered it to Cloud Province.

On the way he met Old Ancestor Han Yuan, who was also rushing.

The two exchanged a glance.

Old Ancestor Han Yuan clutched an ice‑blue lump in his arms, running faster than a rabbit.

"Are you also going to deliver something?" Hai Wuyang asked.

"Nonsense."

Old Ancestor Han Yuan didn't turn back,

"You've seen it, right? The origin surpassing a remnant immortal! Let's just move all our wealth over, so they won't come take it themselves later!"

Hai Wuyang didn't say anything.

He quickened his pace.

Nether Province, Yellow Spring Sect.

The Yellow Spring Sect Leader knelt in his secret chamber.

His whole body trembled. Not from cold.

The activated black token deep in his sea of consciousness was now utterly silent.

There was no response.

The aura of Zhenyuan Immortal King had completely vanished from the token.

Immortal King… died?

That Immortal King who activated the token to transmit information… died?

The Yellow Spring Sect Leader pressed his palms to the ground, suddenly recalling when he knelt in the Yun Family Hall, that gaze cast from an inconspicuous corner of the hall.

A young person's gaze.

Carrying mockery.

As if looking at a self‑smart ant.

Cold sweat streamed from the Yellow Spring Sect Leader's back to his waist, soaking a large area.

He has divined countless omens in his lifetime.

This time, he divined wrong.

At the same time.

The Immortal Realm.

Zhenyuan Immortal Palace.

In a secret chamber deep within the Zhenyuan Immortal Palace, seventy‑two jade tablets of varying sizes were inlaid on a deep‑blue crystal niche.

Each jade tablet represents a strand of the Zhenyuan Immortal King's karmic-divided soul; as long as his true body remains, the tablet stays intact, its luster flowing.

At this moment, the seventy‑two jade tablets——

Shattered.

At the same time. Soundless and motionless.

Fragments fell from the niche, clinking as they scattered across the floor.

The attendant on duty stood stunned for two breaths, then let out a piercing shriek.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty's life tablet—shattered—!"

This piercing scream pierced through the layers of restrictions in the Immortal Palace, spreading throughout a radius of a thousand li.

The news spread at a speed beyond imagination.

The forces under the Zhenyuan Immortal King fell into complete chaos within half an hour. His Immortal King‑level retainers who depended on him, his half‑step Immortal King enforcers, and the intelligence network responsible for monitoring the hidden outposts throughout Sanqian Zhou all received the same message at the same time:

Zhenyuan, died.

Immediately after, the news reached the core of the Immortal Realm——

The Supreme Immortal Hall.

……

The Supreme Immortal Hall is located inside a star at the very center of the Immortal Realm.

Not the star's surface, but its interior.

The entire star has been transformed by a formation into a massive fortress; the temperature and pressure at its core are enough to melt the dharma‑body of an ordinary Immortal King.

Only a titanic Immortal King can reside here long‑term.

The Supreme Immortal King's true form has never left this star, at least not in the past three hundred thousand years.

His will controls every corner of the Immortal Realm through imperial edicts and karmic lines, including the rotation assignments of the four Great Immortal Kings stationed in Sanqian Zhou.

When the news of the Zhenyuan Immortal King's life tablet shattering reached the Supreme Immortal Hall, the Supreme Immortal King showed no change in expression.

Because he has no expression.

His form has already merged halfway into the laws of the star's core, with only the upper half retaining a human outline.

A pair of eyes are set in a molten‑golden face, their rotation frequency perfectly synchronized with the pulsations of the star's core.

"Zhenyuan."

He spoke.

His voice did not travel through the air; instead, it was directly imparted as a vibrational resonance of the laws into the seas of consciousness of everyone present.

More than ten Immortal Kings were seated in the hall.

Not all of them.

The number of Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm far exceeds these.

But at this moment, those who could be summoned to the Supreme Immortal Hall are the core forces directly under the titan.

"Unauthorized descent to Sanqian Zhou, without approval, without filing, life tablet shattered."

The Supreme Immortal King's voice was flat and straightforward, without anger or regret.

He was stating the facts.

"Who will explain?"

The hall fell dead silent.

The three Immortal Kings kneeling in the front exchanged a glance with one another.

These three are the peak existences ranked extremely high in the Immortal Realm.
