Chapter 618: The Protection of the Immortal World's Heavenly Dao, Controlling a King-level Sect, Taking
"Die."
Zhou Sui had no intention of answering these three Dark Race Immortal Kings; he immediately activated the power of the Tribulation Thunder Gu.
Immortal Technique—Great Chaos Thunder Art!
After advancing to the Immortal King Realm, the power of this Immortal Technique became even more terrifying, as it contained Death Tribulation Thunder.
If it were to fuse with the many tribulation thunders of heaven and earth, the power of this Immortal Technique would reach an unimaginable level.
In an instant, he waved his large hand, and his entire body erupted with countless Immortal Thunders; a massive black thundercloud seemed to form above the sky, covering hundreds of millions of kilometers.
The Void shattered, appearing with streaks of terrifying cracks.
It was as if divine retribution had descended, drawing upon the tribulation thunder from the depths of the Immortal World's Origin.
And at this moment, he seemed to have transformed into the God of Thunder who dominated everything, wielding the authority of thunderous punishment.
Boom, boom, boom!!!
The next second, a terrifying black tribulation thunder arrived in an instant, locking onto the Qiyao Immortal King.
The so-called "injuring ten fingers is not as good as severing one."
If this Immortal Technique were dispersed to deal with the three Immortal Kings, it would only severely injure them, as the power would be divided; but if it were concentrated on one of them, it could kill the opponent.
As long as one Immortal King died, the remaining ones would be easier to deal with.
Therefore, Zhou Sui only targeted one of the Immortal Kings.
"Damn it."
The Qiyao Immortal King's expression changed drastically; it never expected that it would be the first one targeted by this Human Race Immortal King.
At this moment, it sensed the terrifying tribulation thunder in the dark locking onto itself, as if it had been locked onto by the will of the Heavenly Dao, which was simply chilling.
To be honest, the power of the tribulation thunder not only restrained the immortals of the Immortal World, but also greatly restrained the cultivators of the Dark Race.
It could cause them massive damage.
Unfortunately, the speed at which Zhou Sui struck was simply too fast, so fast that it was impossible to react.
By the time it saw Zhou Sui strike, it was already too late; this thick bolt of Death Tribulation Thunder arrived in an instant and slammed into its body just like that.
"It's over."
Immediately, the Qiyao Immortal King felt itself take the full force of this Immortal Technique; the terrifying Death Tribulation Thunder spread throughout its entire body, causing horrific destructive power capable of completely pulverizing every particle, every atom.
It was as if it were a power capable of destroying all living beings in the world, ending the operation of all life.
Boom~~
The Qiyao Immortal King didn't even have the strength to resist; it could only watch helplessly as it was struck by this Heavenly Immortal Art, its entire body instantly turning into charred remains.
Even more severely, its Soul was destroyed without a trace, turning into nothingness.
The Dark energy within its body also vanished instantly under the power of the Great Chaos Thunder Art.
This piece of land was also instantly pierced through, appearing with a bottomless pit, as if it had punched through the Hell Plane; the surroundings were permeated with a destructive aura, making one shudder.
"Just one move, and it actually killed the Qiyao Immortal King?"
The Wuhen Immortal King and the Fumo Immortal King's expressions changed drastically, finding it simply unbelievable.
To be honest, the speed at which this Human Race Immortal King struck was too fast, and also extremely ruthless.
Even if they wanted to rescue it, it was already too late.
By the time they wanted to act, the Qiyao Immortal King had already been struck to death by the Great Chaos Thunder Art.
The mysterious Human Race Immortal King before them was simply too terrifying; to call him an Ancient King would not be an exaggeration at all.
"A great opportunity; having used this Heavenly Immortal Art, the Immortal Power on his body must be mostly exhausted."
"Strike while he's down."
"I don't believe this bastard has no consumption at all."
"A mere Human Race Immortal King, how could he be a match for us Dark Race Immortal Kings."
The Fumo Immortal King roared in anger; it was not afraid but furious, even feeling that this was a great opportunity to ambush Zhou Sui. According to its estimation, to cast this Heavenly Immortal Art, this person's consumption must be immense.
It had very rich combat experience and would certainly not be bluffed by this Human Race Immortal King.
The next second, it held the King-grade Immortal Artifact Fumo Tathagata Staff; its entire body seemed to be illuminated by Buddha light, and behind it, a Buddha seemed to descend, condensing into substance, controlling the space-time of the past, present, and future.
Suddenly, it struck down with the staff; space-time froze, subduing dragons and demons.
The terrifying golden energy eroded this space-time, seemingly forming a Kingdom of Buddha.
Any living being would obediently submit, unable to resist.
"I said it before, you are too weak."
Zhou Sui glanced sideways; facing the Fumo Immortal King's struggle, he didn't take it to heart at all. Although the previous Immortal Technique consumed quite a bit, for him, it was merely a drop in the bucket.
After all, his Inner Cave World was over ten thousand light-years in size.
So it was conceivable how thick his internal Immortal Power was; even an Ancient King was nothing more than this.
Even if he cast a dozen Immortal Techniques, it was not worth mentioning at all; a single breath could replenish it.
At this moment, he cast another Immortal Technique.
Heavenly Immortal Art—Underworld God Scythe!
This was a Life-Bound Immortal Art from the Dragon Elephant Gu, containing the power of the Death Law. Once cast, it was like obtaining the authority of the Underworld God, wielding the power of all life and death.
Especially within the Hell Plane, he transformed into the Underworld God who dominated living beings, harvesting all life.
Rumble~~~
One could see endless Death Power gathering on Zhou Sui; the three hundred million Hell Planes vibrated, and the majestic Death Power gathered, forming a resonance.
At this moment, the black Death Power gathered, strikingly forming a huge black scythe, upon which appeared dense Death Runes and Death patterns.
Vaguely, the figures of countless wronged souls appeared on the scythe.
Zhou Sui held this black scythe; he felt that at this moment he had transformed into the Underworld God, without joy or sorrow, his pupils incomparably calm, as if he no longer had any joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.
The space-time all around began to tremble, humming with sound.
Boom!
The black scythe swung out lightly, and the original golden Buddhist kingdom, the original forbidden space-time, were all easily torn apart and split in two by a black ray of light at this moment.
This black blade light swept over, as if it were shattering the entire world.
What?!
Immortal King Fumo was instantly stunned; before it could even react, it merely saw a black blade light sweeping over.
The next second, it discovered that its head had been sent flying, and a large amount of fresh blood gushed out.
A terrifying Death Wave instantly destroyed its Soul.
"No way, I, I just died like this?"
"I was killed by just a single strike?"
Immortal King Fumo was completely stunned, simply unable to believe it.
It felt that it hadn't even fully displayed its entire combat strength yet, so how could it be slain in an instant?
This was truly too absurd.
But no matter how unwilling it was, it was of no use.
Before long, it fell into eternal Darkness, and the Soul aura on its body dissipated rapidly, returning to extinction.
"Monster, this is a monster."
Seeing this scene, the remaining Immortal King Wuhen was simply terrified to the core; even Immortal King Fumo and Immortal King Qiyao had died easily at the hands of the enemy, so if it were left to itself, it would also be of no use.
The mysterious Human Immortal King before its eyes was definitely not just a simple new king; perhaps it was an Ancient King, or even an Ancient Immortal King or Taigu Immortal King.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to possess such terrifying combat strength, capable of killing two Dark Race Immortal Kings with such nonchalance.
If this matter were to be passed back, it would certainly cause a huge shock within the Dark Race.
After all, for the Dark Race, the fall of an Immortal King was certainly an unimaginable loss.
Because at the current stage, there were actually not many Dark Race Immortal Kings who could truly be revived.
If two of them died, it was unknown how much time it would take to make up for it.
For the Dark Race, this was definitely a heavy blow.
Therefore, no matter what, it could not fall at the hands of this mysterious Human Immortal King before it.
Even if it died, it had to transmit the intelligence obtained today back to the Dark Race.
Otherwise, the Dark Race would surely suffer an unimaginable catastrophe in the future.
Whoosh!
In an instant, without saying a word, Immortal King Wuhen actually transformed into a streak of escaping light, instantly fleeing into the depths of space-time, attempting to escape from the Diyu Plane and thus survive.
It no longer wanted to fight this mysterious Human Immortal King, nor did it want to follow in the footsteps of its two companions.
"Want to run? This is my territory, how can you run?"
Zhou Sui looked at Immortal King Wuhen indifferently.
He immediately urged the power of the Luck Gu to cast an Immortal Technique—God's Wrath Arrow.
This was an Immortal Technique conceived after the Luck Gu ascended to the level of an Immortal King; it could condense the anger of all living beings into a divine arrow, and the power of this arrow could slay gods.
Even if one went up to the heavens or down to the earth, there was nowhere to escape, just like a heavenly execution.
Rumble~~
In an instant, under the manipulation of the Luck Gu, endless anger gathered from the Luck Golden Dragon, suddenly forming a majestic red flame.
It seemed that within this majestic red flame, the figures of countless Human Cultivators appeared.
The next second, this majestic flame immediately condensed into a divine arrow, seemingly burning with eternal, inextinguishable anger, engraved with dense, mysterious Runes, unfathomable.
It was as if such a flame could scorch the Void and cause all things to be destroyed by it.
If the Hope Fire was to dispel the endless Darkness, then the God's Wrath Arrow was pure fire of anger, fire of destruction; the anger of the masses could destroy the heavens and the earth and slay the gods.
This was the result of being pointed at by a thousand fingers, dying without illness.
Originally, the anger of ordinary people was not worth mentioning and could not shake powerful existences.
But under the power of the Luck Gu, the anger of countless masses could gather together, and the power formed had already reached the level of slaying an Immortal King.
Boom!
At this moment, Zhou Sui drew his bow and nocked an arrow; this red divine arrow shot out instantly, having locked onto Immortal King Wuhen's Causality energy, making it truly impossible for the opponent to hide or escape.
"How is this possible?!"
Immortal King Wuhen sensed that it had been locked onto by a power of fate from the netherworld, even though it was known as Immortal King Wuhen, leaving no traces, having cast off the tracking of Causality.
But this was not something that could be done one hundred percent of the time.
If the opponent's understanding of the Causality Law and the power of fate was above its own, then it would be easily locked onto and would be unable to break free at all.
It perceived a red divine arrow killing its way over at an astonishing speed, tearing through the Void.
Almost in the blink of an eye, it arrived at its side, the speed being fast to an unbelievable degree.
"What is this Immortal Technique? Why can it not be shaken off, why can it not be blocked?"
Immortal King Wuhen tried to block it, but it was of no use at all; this red divine arrow easily pierced through its defense, and even pierced through its chest.
A terrifying divine fire erupted suddenly, beginning to burn fiercely on its body.
The terrifying heat was scorching its Soul.
Vaguely, it seemed to hear the sounds of the anger of countless masses.
As if being accused by countless living beings.
Every accusation contained an unimaginable weight, enough to completely crush the entire world.
Rumble!!
In just a fleeting moment, the Soul of Immortal King Wuhen was instantly burned to ashes by this terrifying flame, without even a second to struggle.
Boom!
Immediately following, the corpse of Immortal King Wuhen fell from the Void, slamming heavily onto the ground, forcefully creating a massive deep pit, with smoke and dust billowing and gravel scattering everywhere.
Its eyes were wide open, clearly dying with deep resentment.
Originally, it had painstakingly possessed a Human Race Immortal King, intending to become a mole for the Human Race and overthrow the Human Race at a critical moment.
Who could have imagined that, having just succeeded in the possession, it would encounter such a disaster.
If it had known earlier that this Hell Plane was so dangerous, it would never have come.
Unfortunately, it is already too late to say anything now.
"Not bad."
"Slaying three Dark Race Immortal Kings, is this a gift from the Heavenly Dao?"
Just at this moment, Zhou Sui perceived that deep within the Void, streaks of golden light instantly appeared and then submerged into his body; this was Source Energy refined to the extreme.
He could even sense the excited emotions of the Immortal World Heavenly Dao.
At this moment, the Source Energy within his body received a geometric increase.
At the same time, after his Immortal King Dao Fruit obtained this majestic Source Energy, its internal space was actually expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye—expanding, and expanding again.
The Immortal Substance within the Cave Heaven World was also constantly increasing.
The Source Energy from this Heavenly Dao gift alone was enough to save him tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions, of years of bitter cultivation.
And this was without any hidden dangers.
Undoubtedly, to the Immortal World, these Dark Race Immortal Kings were simply a major threat, like wood-boring insects.
Now that they had been slain by Zhou Sui, it naturally reduced some threats to the Immortal World.
"So that's how it is; it seems it was no accident that these three Dark Race Immortal Kings came to the Hell Plane."
"They were deluded by the Tribulation Qi."
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.
To tell the truth, normally, as Dark Race Immortal Kings, arriving in an unfamiliar place, they naturally could not be very reckless and would certainly need to figure things out before starting to act.
Unfortunately, Immortal King Wuhen and the others were deluded by the Tribulation Qi, as if possessed, and could not perceive any danger at all.
They could only see the gains from this operation and could not see the danger it brought.
That was why these three Dark Race Immortal Kings entered the Hell Plane without any precautions and were then slain by him.
Undoubtedly, as an Immortal of the Immortal World, one is naturally protected by the Luck of the Immortal World Heavenly Dao.
As for Dark Race Cultivators, as enemies, coming to the Immortal World region, they would certainly be unlucky everywhere and encounter all kinds of calamities.
They might even expose their identities because of a trivial matter.
This is the instinct of the Immortal World Heavenly Dao to protect all living beings.
In fact, without the protection of the Immortal World Heavenly Dao, the living beings of the Immortal World would find it difficult to resist the invasion of the Dark Race.
Perhaps it would not take long for the Immortal World to be conquered by the Dark Race.
Of course, in essence, this is also a self-saving behavior of the Immortal World Heavenly Dao.
But regardless, for Zhou Sui, this was not necessarily a bad thing.
It meant that he had obtained the protection of the Immortal World Heavenly Dao, and no matter what he did, he could turn bad luck into good.
"Not bad, the harvest this time is huge."
Zhou Sui looked at the three Immortal King corpses and felt very satisfied.
One must know that Immortal King corpses are extremely precious Treasures; even a single drop of blood is equivalent to a peerless Immortal Medicine.
The medicinal power contained within is quite terrifying.
If an ordinary Cultivator were to consume it, they would not know how many years of cultivation they could gain.
If lucky, one could even use the Immortal King's essence blood to refine an Immortal Pill, thereby gaining insights into many Heavenly Laws.
"But the most important thing is still the Immortal King Dao Fruit."
"I actually obtained a full six Immortal King Dao Fruits."
"Does this mean these three Dark Race Immortal Kings also have Dao Fruits?"
Zhou Sui blinked his eyes.
He discovered that there were a full six Dao Fruits among the corpses, three of which belonged to Qiyao Immortal King and the others, while the remaining three belonged to the three Dark Race Immortal Kings.
However, the Dao Fruits of the Dark Race Immortal Kings were very special, containing vast Darkness energy, which could be called Darkness Dao Fruits.
Moreover, they also contained terrifying invasiveness and corrosiveness.
If an ordinary Cultivator were to come into contact with them, they would very likely be eroded by the Darkness Dao Fruit and thus transformed into a dark creature.
Therefore, these are extremely special Dao Fruits.
However, while Darkness Dao Fruits are pollutants to other Cultivators, to Zhou Sui, they are incredible Treasures.
He could fully utilize the power of the Wine Insect to completely refine these three Darkness Dao Fruits and then convert them into Seventh-tier Immortal Wine.
One must know that the value of Seventh-tier Immortal Wine is no less than a Seven-Tier Immortal Pill; even an Immortal King would not be able to brew Seventh-tier Immortal Wine, and its value is simply immeasurable.
If one could consume Seventh-tier Immortal Wine, then for an Immortal King, it is unknown how many years of cultivation it could increase.
This would certainly save him a large amount of time in bitter cultivation.
It can be said that slaying the Dark Race Immortal Kings resulted in a bountiful harvest.
"The Dark Race does not have a physical body, but only possesses a Darkness core."
"Does this mean that all their essence is within this Darkness Dao Fruit?"
"If I could obtain the memories of the Dark Race Immortal Kings, wouldn't I be able to learn many secrets of the Dark Race?"
Zhou Sui's heart stirred, and he could not help but think of this point.
To be honest, his understanding of the Dark Race was still too little; he had no idea where they came from, how they were born, or what their specific purpose was. They were truly too mysterious, completely different from every race in the Immortal World.
They were a terrifying race that had lived through who knows how many Universe Samsaras, unfathomable.
Now that he had beheaded three Dark Race Immortal Kings, countless Soul fragments were scattered all around.
If he could devour these Soul fragments, perhaps he could peer into the secrets of the Dark Race, or even the secrets of the Eternal Night, through the memories of the Dark Race Immortal Kings' Souls.
Boom~~
At this very moment, Zhou Sui's heart stirred; he activated the power of the Dream Soul Gu and immediately collected the Soul fragments of the three Dark Race Immortal Kings, and suddenly, a massive amount of Soul memories submerged into the Dream Soul Gu.
These memories not only included the original memories of Immortal King Qiyao and the others, but also relevant memories of the Dark Race.
To be honest, if it were an ordinary Cultivator, even an Immortal King, it would be impossible to obtain complete memories from these Soul fragments, but the Dream Soul Gu was different; it was simply a Grandmaster at playing with Souls.
Even if they were merely individual Soul fragments, countless pieces of intelligence could be read from within them.
Thump!
In an instant, through these Soul fragments of the Dark Race Immortal Kings, Zhou Sui seemed to see that in the deepest part of the Eternal Night Land, there appeared massive Immortal Palaces, as well as countless buildings.
A towering giant tree rose from the ground; it was entirely dark, and its branches were condensed with countless dark fruits.
Each dark fruit seemed to be a Dark Race Cultivator.
Countless Dark Race Cultivators were born in this way.
From the moment they were born, they possessed many memories as well as powerful combat strength.
"Hmm?!"
Just at this moment, when Zhou Sui originally wanted to investigate more intelligence, his pupils contracted; he perceived a crisis spreading from the void, and the space-time around him seemed to be in a state of stillness.
Suddenly, he discovered that a nameless power had descended, instantly erasing all the memories of the three Dark Race Immortal Kings.
Any information regarding the Dark Race was wiped clean; this was simply like a taboo.
"Could this be a method from the Eternal Night?"
Zhou Sui was very shocked; he had originally wanted to take the opportunity to obtain the memories of the three Dark Race Immortal Kings to peer into the intelligence of the Dark Race, but now it seemed that was purely wishful thinking.
The Great Ability behind the Dark Race was truly too terrifying.
In order to prevent the leakage of intelligence, taboo methods had been left in the Soul of every Dark Race Cultivator.
Anyone who attempted to pry into their memories would trigger the taboo and then have the memories erased.
This was also the reason why the Dark Race had appeared for such a long time, yet had not left behind much intelligence.
"The Dark Race is indeed very difficult to deal with."
"But fortunately, there are still the memories of Immortal King Qiyao and the others."
Zhou Sui took a deep breath; although he felt a bit of regret that he had not obtained the memories of the Dark Race Immortal Kings, at least he had obtained the memories of Immortal King Qiyao, Immortal King Wuhen, and Immortal King Fumo.
In this way, he could use his clones to transform into the appearance of the three Immortal Kings and then take their place.
Once successful, then the Immortal King-level factions, the Qiyao Sect, the Fumo Gate, the Wuhen Sect, and so on, would all become vassal factions of the Xuanhuang Sect, which was equivalent to the Xuanhuang Sect's power expanding many times over in an instant.
For him, this was simply killing many birds with one stone, with infinite benefits.
After all, wanting to conquer many Human Race great continents was actually very difficult because these Human Race great continents were occupied by various factions and were very complex; if one were to attack rashly, it would certainly ignite a war.
But to conquer these three Immortal King factions silently and without a sound could recover many Human Race territories without any effort, and it also did not require consuming much power.
More importantly, if the news of the three Immortal Kings' fall were to spread, it would not be a good thing for the Human Race; it might provoke the covetousness of the other four super races.
But now that his clones had replaced the existence of Immortal King Qiyao and the others, such a situation could be avoided.
Of course, with Immortal King Qiyao and the others having fallen, the original Immortal King factions would not notice anything.
Because as Immortal Kings, naturally there was no need to leave behind things like Soul Lamps.
Other Cultivators would also be unable to know whether an Immortal King was dead or alive.
