Chapter 629: Reincarnation and Rebirth, the Undying Primordial Spirit of the Ancient King

"This."

Hearing this, Immortal King Taiyi was completely stunned; he simply did not know what to say, left utterly speechless.

He also felt a bit confused—could it be that he was truly just a Puppet pushed forward by the Human Race?

On the surface, he was the strongest Immortal King of the Human Race, but in reality, the strongest Immortal King was someone else.

The problem was, he had indeed held the reins of power over the Human Race for countless years.

Moreover, no Human Race faction had ever been able to hide anything from him.

Normally, it should have been impossible for the Human Race to have an Immortal King capable of concealing themselves from him.

Yet, such an inconceivable thing had indeed happened right under his nose.

The Human Race had not only produced a mysterious Immortal King who could see through the identities of the Dark Race Immortal Kings, but had also cleared out this group of Dark Race Immortal Kings with lightning speed, eradicating the scourge within the Human Race.

Even more terrifying was that the other party had also silently seized control of the Eight-Tier Immortal Array.

Now, he had even lost his connection to the Five Elements and Five Directions Array.

In other words, he was not the true Master of this Eight-Tier Immortal Array; the true Master was someone else.

For a moment, he did not know what to say.

"As expected of a piece of trash, not even knowing what is happening."

Sensing Immortal King Taiyi's thoughts, that Ancient King of the Dark Race felt his teeth itch with anger and was absolutely furious; the enemy was simply too mysterious, as even Immortal King Taiyi did not know the other party's true identity.

It was conceivable that the mysterious Immortal King was definitely a terrifying existence that had been hiding in the shadows of the Human Race for countless years.

Unless the Human Race faced a fatal crisis, they would never take the initiative to reveal themselves.

It was likely that they had learned of the Dark Race Immortal Kings' invasion, which was why they had taken action at this time.

It had to be said that all races had underestimated the foundation and terror of the Human Race.

"However, thinking that you can kill us by relying on an Eight-Tier Immortal Array? That is simply wishful thinking."

"We are the great Ancient Kings of the Dark Race; a mere Eight-Tier Immortal Array cannot possibly do anything to us."

"Join forces and break through the shackles of this Eight-Tier Immortal Array."

The five Ancient Kings of the Dark Race shouted loudly; they knew that since their identities had long been seen through by the Human Race Immortal King, there was no doubt they could no longer remain within the Human Race.

The only plan now was to flee the Human Territory; only then could they escape with their lives.

However, they did not intend to abandon these five shells of Human Race Ancient Kings.

To them, these were also rare shells; if they successfully possessed them, their combat power would soar more than several times over.

More importantly, this would also cause the Human Race to lose five Ancient Kings, which was entirely a profitable deal.

Even if they could not destroy the entire Human Race, they could still severely damage the Human Race's strength.

In an instant, the five great Ancient Kings of the Dark Race took action.

Immortal Technique—Great Dark Heaven-Slaughtering Palm!

This was a Heavenly Immortal Art from the Dark Race, containing endless power of Darkness and power of destruction.

A single palm strike could annihilate all directions, causing a Great Thousand World to be completely destroyed and fall into eternal Darkness.

At the same time, it was also a combined attack technique.

It could fuse the power of many Dark Race Immortal Kings to erupt with a terrifying blow.

In the past, when many Dark Race Immortal Kings joined forces, they could kill the Immortal Kings of various races with one palm, which could be described as invincible.

Boom—

At this very moment, endless power of Darkness surged over, gathered together, and condensed into substance, instantly forming a terrifying Dark Emperor Palm, with dense Dark Runes appearing upon it.

The palm lines seemed to display streaks of terrifying Fazhe Wenlu.

It was as if this giant Dark palm encompassed countless worlds and countless living beings.

It permeated with waves of aura of Darkness, destruction, and death, seemingly bringing annihilation to all living things and all creation.

The moment it appeared, the surrounding space-time was shattered, appearing with streaks of terrifying space-time cracks that stretched for tens of thousands, or even over a hundred thousand light-years, as if the sky itself had split open.

This giant Dark palm wanted to crush the surrounding Five Elements barrier, strike out a hole, and thereby escape.

At the same time, the Immortals and Immortal Kings near the Heavenly Court headquarters sensed the movement in the Daogong at the first moment.

They saw the Eight-Tier Immortal Array in operation, a terrifying Five Elements barrier shrouding the sky, and the endless power of the Five Elements in motion, forming an aura of chaos that shrouded the sky of the Human Race.

They also saw a terrifying giant Dark palm appear deep within the Daogong, shattering the Daogong and causing the surrounding Void to crack, with fissures stretching over a hundred thousand light-years, as if the sky itself were collapsing.

That endless power of Darkness spread over, simply blotting out the sun and sky, seemingly wanting to erode this region into an Eternal Night Land and plunder its endless vitality.

"What is going on? Why has there been a problem at the Taiyi Daogong? What exactly has happened?"

Some Immortals were dumbfounded, finding it simply unbelievable.

Because he had already lived in the Heavenly Court for tens of billions of years, yet he had never seen any battle.

After all, which Immortal who was tired of living would dare to run wild near an Immortal King Dao Palace?

But now, such a terrifying battle had broken out all of a sudden.

This must be a decisive battle at the Immortal King level, and also an unprecedented great war.

At this very moment, he was trembling, feeling just like an ant.

"Such terrifying power of Darkness is simply unheard of; could it be from the Immortal Kings of the Dark Race?"

Immediately, some Immortals sensed this evil and dark power.

After all, almost every Immortal here had once entered the Eternal Night Land and fought against the monsters of the Eternal Night Land.

Therefore, they sensed that this power must have come from the Dark Race.

"Since when could Dark Race Immortal Kings actually reach the heartland of our Human Race?"

"It is unclear, but the Dark Race is unfathomable; it is rumored that they are the masterminds behind the destruction of countless Prehistoric Civilizations, and perhaps they have mastered means unknown to our Human Race. Now they have penetrated deep into the Human Race heartland, attempting to assassinate Immortal King Taiyi and the others."

"Oh no, the various Immortal King lords have actually encountered an assassination; what is to be done?"

"Alas, we have no way to intervene; we cannot interfere in a battle of this level."

Numerous immortals and Immortal Kings discussed the matter, their expressions changing drastically.

They felt wisps of terrifying Immortal King aura radiating out, simply world-destroying and heaven-shattering.

Even a single wisp of Ancient King aura descending would be enough to shatter hundreds of millions of kilometers of the Immortal World's land.

Fortunately, the power of the Eight-Tier Immortal Array formed a Five Elements barrier, sealing off this area of the Daogong.

Otherwise, the moment this power erupted, it would be enough to destroy the headquarters of the Human Heavenly Court.

By then, no one would know how many immortals would fall, turning to dust and ashes.

Moreover, they also knew that since the Dark Race Immortal Kings dared to carry out an assassination, they must have had a high degree of certainty.

Otherwise, how could they have expended such great effort to sneak into the heartland of the Human Race and carry out an assassination?

However, even so, they felt that the strength of the five Human Race Ancient Kings was unfathomable; even when facing the assassination of the Dark Race, there would certainly be no problems, and they would surely handle it with ease.

"Want to escape? Don't dream."

At this very moment, Zhou Sui and the Array Heart Gu reached the realm of human-gu unity; his Soul merged into the Eight-Tier Immortal Array, the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Five Directions Array, allowing him to manipulate every wisp of power within this array.

Now, every place in the Human Territory was under his control.

At this moment, he felt the power within him amplify infinitely, as if he had become an Ancient King.

No, perhaps it was the realm of an Ancient Immortal King, or even a Taigu Immortal King.

He felt that with such formidable power, he could simply do whatever he pleased.

Without a doubt, the truly formidable aspect of the Human Race's Heaven and Earth Five Elements Five Directions Array was the five Innate Dharma Treasures.

It was precisely because of the might of these five Innate Dharma Treasures that it surpassed other Eight-Tier Immortal Arrays.

It could be called the supreme Eight-Tier Immortal Array.

Boom~~

In an instant, with a thought from Zhou Sui, he immediately activated one of the Innate Dharma Treasures—the Northern True Martial Black Carved Flag.

One could see this flag vibrating, releasing infinite power, obscuring the universe and blotting out the sun and sky.

Above the sky, a massive flag appeared instantly, shrouding this area; even sunlight could not penetrate it, forming a cage of heaven and earth.

It was as if the sky had been wrapped by an endless ocean.

It was simply rippling with green waves, with billows rolling.

It was a water-attributed Innate Dharma Treasure possessing supreme defense.

In the past, the Human Race had once utilized this Innate Dharma Treasure to shroud a region.

As a result, no matter how many Alien Immortal Kings besieged it, they could not breach the True Martial Black Carved Flag in the slightest.

Thud!

The next second, that giant Dark Race palm arrived in an instant, striking this Innate Dharma Treasure; the terrifying power that erupted was simply world-destroying and heaven-shattering, enough to destroy Great Thousand Worlds one after another, and even shatter dozens of Human Race great provinces.

After all, this was a strike from five Dark Race Ancient Kings joining forces simultaneously; one could imagine the might contained within.

But even so, facing the Innate Dharma Treasure True Martial Black Carved Flag, they still could not shake this flag in the slightest.

Infinite power struck against it, yet it remained motionless.

It was swallowed and absorbed by the endless power of water.

This was the formidable aspect of the Innate Dharma Treasure True Martial Black Carved Flag; it could absorb all attack power and turn it into nothingness, because the power of water could bear everything.

"Damn it."

Seeing this scene, the five Dark Race Ancient Kings' expressions changed drastically; they knew that they were likely in trouble now. This was the Human Race's territory, and if the opponent could activate the five Innate Dharma Treasures, even if they were Ancient Kings, they were definitely no match for the Human Race.

Their full-strength strike had actually been blocked by the Human Race's Innate Dharma Treasure in such a lighthearted manner; it was truly inconceivable.

Although they had long known of the formidable nature of the Human Race's Eight-Tier Immortal Array from the memories of the five Human Race Ancient Kings, this was the first time they had experienced it personally.

It was even more formidable than in their memories.

"Unbelievable, who exactly has completely mastered the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Five Directions Array?"

"This is no longer as simple as mere mastery; it is fundamentally perfect control."

"Could the opponent be an Ancient Immortal King?"

Seeing this scene, Taiyi Immortal King was also dumbfounded, feeling it was inconceivable.

Previously, he had also considered himself to have mastered the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Five Directions Array, but due to his insufficient cultivation, he could at most exert one-tenth of the power of this Eight-Tier Immortal Array.

Even so, that was enough to protect the Human Race for countless years and enough to resist the invasions of the Aliens.

But now, this unknown mysterious Human Race Immortal King was actually able to perfectly master this Eight-Tier Immortal Array.

Exerting one hundred percent of the Immortal Array's might.

Compared to him, he was simply a Puppet who had obtained temporary control.

Could it be that he was truly just a Human Race Puppet Immortal King pushed to the forefront?

To tell the truth, he had even begun to doubt his own identity.

However, for him, perhaps this was not a bad thing.

At least there was no need to worry about the Human Race being invaded by the five Great Ancient Kings of the Dark Race, thereby leading to the total destruction of the Human Race.

"Kill!"

But Zhou Sui would not give these five Dark Race Ancient Kings the slightest chance to catch their breath; with a thought, he activated the second Innate Dharma Treasure—the Li-Earth Flame Light Flag.

This was a fire-attributed Innate Dharma Treasure; it possessed abilities such as confusing yin and yang, reversing the five elements, repelling all evil, and being immune to all techniques, while simultaneously containing one hundred and eight types of Immortal World exotic fires.

When the many Immortal World exotic fires fused together, they became the Emperor Flame.

It simply burned everything, incinerating everything, presenting a seven-colored hue.

Moreover, it was incredibly restraining to creatures with Dark attributes.

The moment the power of the Li-Earth Flame Light Flag erupted, it could cause all evil to retreat and all things to be extinguished.

Boom—!

Suddenly, wisps of seven-colored Emperor Flame emerged, forming a sky-filling conflagration that enveloped the surrounding space-time, blasting toward the five Ancient Kings of the Dark Race with an unimaginably fast speed.

Thud—!

These five Ancient Kings of the Dark Race had no time to dodge; their bodies were immediately struck by the seven-colored Emperor Flame, and the terrifying fire began to burn upon them.

It could be said that this seven-colored Emperor Flame was incomparably terrifying, as it not only burned the physical body but also burned the Soul.

Even existences at the level of Ancient King found it difficult to withstand the might of the seven-colored Emperor Flame.

For a time, the five Ancient Kings of the Dark Race immediately let out shrill screams, feeling an unprecedented pain as if they were being torn apart by billions of ants; this was a torture they had never experienced before.

At the same time, wisps of white smoke rose from their bodies, as if they were about to be completely incinerated by this seven-colored Emperor Flame.

Without a doubt, they had suffered unprecedented, heavy damage.

"Haha, thank you, fellow Daoist; we can finally escape this sea of suffering."

Just at this moment, rays of light instantly flew out from the bodies of the five Human Race Ancient Kings; they were none other than Immortal King Taiyi, Immortal King Linglong, Immortal King Qiantian, Immortal King Hongchen, and Immortal King Dari.

Originally, they had been entangled by the Ancient Kings of the Dark Race and eroded by Dark energy, making it almost impossible to break free.

Even though Ancient Kings possessed immortal primordial spirits, it was still difficult to hold on for too long.

Now that the five Ancient Kings of the Dark Race were being burned by the seven-colored Emperor Flame and feeling unprecedented pain, they had lost the strength to continue possessing the Human Race Ancient Kings, so they took the opportunity to have their primordial spirits exit their bodies and escape.

"Congratulations to you fellow Daoists for escaping."

Seeing this scene, Zhou Sui also did not expect that these five Human Race Ancient Kings were actually not dead yet; it seemed his intervention was indeed perfectly timed, otherwise they would have long since been successfully possessed by the Ancient Kings of the Dark Race.

It could be said that he acted in advance to rescue the five Human Race Ancient Kings, resolving a massive catastrophe for the Human Race.

However, he did not appear in his true form, only using Divine Sense Transmission.

After all, his current situation was not suitable for meeting these five Human Race Ancient Kings, to avoid his true background being discovered.

"Fellow Daoist, is it impossible for us to meet?"

Immortal King Taiyi, Immortal King Linglong, Immortal King Qiantian, Immortal King Hongchen, and Immortal King Dari were very disappointed; they had originally thought they could meet this mysterious Human Race senior.

That's right, they believed the other party was definitely an ancient Immortal King of the Human Race, perhaps from an ancient era, otherwise it would be impossible to possess such terrifying strength.

"Apologies, we cannot meet."

"Once we meet, there will inevitably be karma."

"The enemy's strength is unfathomable; we must act with caution."

"It is enough for you to know of my existence; there is no need to meet."

Zhou Sui used Divine Sense Transmission to say some profound and mysterious words.

After all, he was currently only an Ordinary Immortal King, and there was still a certain distance between him and the level of Ancient King.

If he were to meet the five Ancient Kings, he might expose his true background.

Therefore, it was better not to meet, as this could maintain his sense of mystery.

"As expected of a senior; it was our rashness."

"So it is because you do not wish to be tainted by karma? We were indeed not thoughtful enough."

"The senior is truly cautious; we almost committed a grave error."

Once these words were spoken, the five Human Race Ancient Kings—Immortal King Taiyi, Immortal King Linglong, Immortal King Qiantian, Immortal King Hongchen, and Immortal King Dari—immediately looked solemn and felt deeply convinced.

They understood the concerns of this mysterious Human Race senior; the fact that the other party had always remained hidden in the shadows of the Human Race, protecting the Human Race, was precisely to prevent some unpredictable crises.

Without a doubt, this was the ultimate trump card of the Human Race, one that even they, as Ancient Kings, were unaware of.

Originally, they felt that as Human Race Ancient Kings, the fact that they were unaware of such Human Race secrets was truly looking down on them—was it perhaps underestimating them?

But after experiencing the incident of being possessed by the Ancient Kings of the Dark Race, they knew that such measures were indispensable.

Because once possessed by the Dark Race, the secrets of the soul would be completely exposed.

It would be equivalent to all the intelligence of the Human Race being known by the Dark Race.

What a terrifying thing that would be.

If they had known about the existence of this mysterious Human Race Immortal King in advance, I fear the ultimate trump card of the Human Race would have long been known by the Ancient Kings of the Dark Race, and the Human Race would have no secrets to speak of.

At that time, the Human Race would be like a sieve, being infiltrated by the Dark Race at will.

The Human Race would also have no hope.

Therefore, sometimes it was actually a good thing that they did not know about these matters.

At the very least, it could prevent the Immortal Kings of the Human Race from being wiped out in one fell swoop by the enemy.

Now, that was exactly the case.

They did not know of this senior's existence, so they caught the enemy off guard.

It left the Immortal Kings of the Dark Race stunned, having no idea what had happened.

And because of this, the senior not exposing their identity and not leaking their karma was also to protect the Human Race and guard against the truly terrifying enemies of the Dark Race.

"It is good that you understand."

"The terror of the Dark Race is beyond imagination."

"Even if many preparations have been made, it is still far from enough."

"That is why I remain hidden in the shadows, unknown to the Dark Race, so that I can deliver a thunderous strike."

"Thereby disrupting the schemes of the Dark Race."

"Therefore, my identity cannot be leaked; I need to remain hidden in the shadows and not be tainted by karma with anyone."

"Only through the unknown can we defeat the Dark Race."

Zhou Sui's voice sounded unfathomable, seemingly omnipresent and omnipotent.

It was as if he were an ancient existence of the Human Race.

He knew that these five Human Race Ancient Kings had already misunderstood his identity, thinking he was an ancient Immortal King of the Human Race.

They are the guardians hidden in the shadows of the Human Race in the Immortal World.

That is why these five Human Race Ancient Kings respect themselves so much.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing; at the very least, it allows one to gain the other party's trust, making it easier to act.

"Senior's wisdom is truly unfathomable, not something we can compare to."

"It seems we truly are not suited to meet, lest we expose Senior's identity and thereby allow the Dark Race to find Senior."

"However, our time is running out; I believe Senior can also sense our current situation."

"At present, our Ancient King bodies have been eroded by the Dark Race and can no longer be salvaged, much like a white cloth stained with ink—no matter what, it is impossible to restore them to their original state."

"Therefore, we intend to abandon these physical shells and enter Samsara to be reincarnated."

"Thus, the future of the Human Race will likely have to be entrusted to Senior."

The five Human Race Ancient Kings said with grave expressions.

Their bodies had long since been polluted by the Dark Race, and it was fundamentally impossible to purge it.

The polluting power of the Dark Race is extremely terrifying and bizarre.

However, for an Immortal King, the most important thing is actually the Primordial Spirit.

As long as the Primordial Spirit has not been polluted, then it is possible to reincarnate and be reborn again.

This is the Undying Primordial Spirit of an Ancient King who has comprehended the Reincarnation Law.

Therefore, an Ancient King is almost impossible to kill; even if they truly encounter a fatal danger, they can instantly escape into Samsara and be reincarnated.

"Rest assured, just leave the Human Race to me."

"As long as I am here, the Human Race will not encounter any problems."

Hearing this, Zhou Sui was immediately overjoyed; if the five Human Race Ancient Kings were to reincarnate, then the entire Human Race of the Immortal World would be under his control, and no power would ever be able to defy him again.

By then, he would be able to display his power at will, thereby rapidly developing the Human Race of the Immortal World.

He could even unify the Human Race, become the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race, and gather the Luck of the entire Human Race.

Even if the five Human Race Ancient Kings were to return through reincarnation in the future, the Human Race would have long since been deeply branded by him.

"Since that is the case, then we can rest easy."

Hearing this, Immortal King Taiyi, Immortal King Linglong, Immortal King Qiantian, Immortal King Hongchen, Immortal King Dari, and the others were greatly relieved; they did not think that this mysterious Human Race Senior wanted to seize the supreme power of the Human Race.

After all, how could an existence like this possibly desire power?

If the other party were truly such a person, they would not have remained hidden in the shadows of the Human Race all this time, content to be a guardian of the Human Race.

If it weren't for the fact that many Human Race Immortal Kings were possessed by the Dark Race this time and the Human Race faced a great catastrophe, this mysterious Senior likely would not have taken action.

Therefore, they felt very reassured about this Senior.

If this Senior were to personally step forward to protect the Human Race, then the Human Race would certainly be absolutely secure.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

In an instant, after finishing all their arrangements, the Primordial Spirits of the five Human Race Ancient Kings suddenly escaped into the depths of time and space, following the Reincarnation Law, not knowing where they had reincarnated to.

It is estimated that it will be countless years before the reincarnated bodies of the five Ancient Kings appear in this world again.

"Is this an Ancient King who has comprehended the Reincarnation Law?"

"Possessing an Undying Primordial Spirit, they can reincarnate at any time."

"Truly an unkillable existence; no wonder they can survive the cycles of the Universe time and time again."

Seeing this scene, Zhou Sui was filled with inner amazement.

Without a doubt, the gap between the Immortal King Realm and the Ancient King Realm is truly too vast.

Only an Immortal King who has comprehended the Reincarnation Law is a true Immortal King; such an existence masters an Undying Primordial Spirit and can continuously be reborn even when encountering a fatal crisis.

Of course, he possesses the power of the Sixteen-Tier Infatuation Gu on his body and has long since possessed the power of reincarnation.

Therefore, in essence, he is actually not much different from an Ancient King.
