Chapter 661: 1,296,000,000 Hell Demon Gods, the True Foundation

"However, a mere army of the undead is nothing to speak of."

"Although they possess the characteristic of immortality, relative to an Immortal King, they are actually not worth mentioning."

"After all, once one reaches the level of an Immortal King, numbers no longer have any meaning."

The Great Thousand World Mirror said in a deep voice.

"Indeed."

"But judging by your tone, it seems there are even more terrifying existences in Diyu?"

Immortal King Taiyi's eyes flickered.

He knew his natal Dharma Treasure's personality very well; if the power of the Hell Plane were merely this, it would not be held in such high regard by the other party, and the power contained within the Hell Plane must surely be beyond imagination.

Otherwise, it would not make the Great Thousand World Mirror so fearful.

"That is correct. Those Hell Planes give birth to powerful creatures, and they call themselves Hell Demon Gods."

"They contain terrifying bloodline power within their bodies, not at all inferior to those Innate True Spirits."

"What is even more terrifying is that their strength is no less than that of an Immortal King."

"Even ordinary Immortal Kings are no match for them."

"If they remain inside the Hell Planes, their strength will increase several times over."

The Great Thousand World Mirror said with a very serious tone.

It had always felt that those Hell Demon Gods were the true foundation of the Hell Planes.

Even when the Dark Race attacked the Immortal Dao Civilization last time, these Hell Demon Gods had never appeared.

Without a doubt, if these Hell Demon Gods were to appear, it is estimated that the Dark Race would be of no consequence.

"What do you mean? Could it be that the number of these Hell Demon Gods is very large?"

Immortal King Taiyi realized that something was wrong.

If the number of Hell Demon Gods were small, then at most it would be on par with the number of Immortal Kings of various races.

For the various races of the Immortal Dao, that would not be anything significant.

At most, everyone's power would be evenly matched.

But looking at it now, it seems the number of Hell Demon Gods is beyond imagination.

"It is not just a matter of having many; it is simply absurd."

"The entire Immortal World is shrouded by 1,296,000,000 Hell Planes."

"And every single Hell Plane gives birth to one Demon God."

"So, Master, you now know how many Hell Demon Gods there are."

The Great Thousand World Mirror said with a bitter smile.

What?!

Once these words were spoken, Immortal King Taiyi was instantly stunned, his pupils constricted, and he looked at his natal Dharma Treasure in disbelief.

To tell the truth, he had already guessed before that the number of Hell Demon Gods must be quite large.

Perhaps it might reach several thousand or ten thousand Demon Gods.

But he never imagined that the number of Hell Demon Gods had reached 1,296,000,000.

This was not the number of ordinary immortals, but combat power at the Immortal King level.

Previously, the appearance of hundreds of thousands of Immortal Kings from the Dark Race had already made countless races and civilizations feel despair.

But what is going on now, that 1,296,000,000 Hell Demon Gods have suddenly appeared?

This is equivalent to over a billion Immortal King-level powerhouses.

If these Hell Demon Gods were to leave Diyu, then the entire Immortal World would likely be reduced to scorched earth.

No wonder his natal Dharma Treasure was so terrified.

Even though he had lived for such a long time, he had never seen so many Immortal King-level combatants.

It was simply too terrifying.

"Is this matter true or false?"

"If it is true, where did these Hell Demon Gods appear from?"

Immortal King Taiyi was simply in disbelief.

After all, he could not imagine when over a billion Immortal King-level powerhouses had suddenly appeared in the Immortal World.

And the resources consumed to give birth to these Immortal Kings certainly could not be a small amount.

Could the entire Immortal World possess so many resources?

Or is it that the birth of these Hell Demon Gods does not require many resources at all?

"Master, this matter is certainly true, without a doubt, and it is also something I have seen with my own eyes."

"The existence that created these Hell Demon Gods is none other than Immortal King Xuanhuang."

"It seems those Hell Demon Gods flow with the bloodline of Immortal King Xuanhuang."

"They are equivalent to the dependents of Immortal King Xuanhuang."

"From a certain perspective, Immortal King Xuanhuang is the Master of the Demon Gods."

The Great Thousand World Mirror sighed with emotion.

It had held these words in for too long.

Because this news was simply too shocking; if it were to spread, it would surely set off a monstrous storm.

Therefore, it could not spread it.

Apart from its own Master, it did not know who else in the Immortal World it could trust.

Thus, when it learned that its Family Head had finally been resurrected, it was overjoyed beyond measure.

After all, someone who could listen to its secrets had finally appeared.

As an Innate Dharma Treasure that possessed countless secrets of the Immortal World, it had been feeling extremely uncomfortable; after all, being unable to pour out the secrets it knew to others was a truly stifling feeling.

Fortunately, there was still its Master who could listen to the secrets it knew.

"This!"

Immortal King Taiyi fell silent, not knowing what to say.

If one thought about it carefully, it was actually a matter of course; besides Immortal King Xuanhuang, who else could exist that was capable of creating so many Diyu demon gods?

It was just that even he had not expected the power Immortal King Xuanhuang grasped to be terrifying to such a degree.

It was one thing that his own cultivation had reached the level of a Half-step Dao Lord, but to even have a legion of over a billion Immortal King-level Diyu demon gods was simply beyond the imagination of all living beings.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he immediately felt relieved, feeling that it was nothing at all.

Because Immortal King Xuanhuang's own combat power was already the strongest in the Immortal World, worthy of being called the strongest Immortal King.

Even if all the other Immortal Kings were added together, including the Prehistoric Immortal King, they could not be opponents of Immortal King Xuanhuang.

Even if there were now over a billion more Immortal King-level demon gods, he felt it was just like that.

It was just like a world's richest person with a net worth of trillions of dollars; even if their net worth increased by hundreds of billions of dollars, it would not mean much to the average person.

At most, one would say "oh," expressing a little exclamation.

After all, according to the world's richest person's original net worth, it had already exceeded the limits of ordinary people's imagination.

Even if their wealth increased by one or two times, so what? Could it affect their wealth ranking?

To a certain extent, he even had to be glad that it was Immortal King Xuanhuang who created the Diyu demon gods.

If it were any other Immortal King, there was no guarantee that the various races of the Immortal World might not split apart, or even go to war.

Do not look at how united the Heavenly Court is now, with all Immortal Kings acting as one.

That is merely because Immortal King Xuanhuang's power suppresses everything, and his will towers above many Immortal Kings.

Making those Immortal Kings have no choice but to submit.

If another Immortal King were to suddenly emerge at this time, capable of challenging the authority of Immortal King Xuanhuang.

Then the Immortal World might split in two and start fighting again.

At that time, it would fall into eternal war.

Fortunately, such a thing is basically impossible to happen.

Because over countless years in the Immortal World, including those Prehistoric Civilizations, only one Half-step Dao Lord like Immortal King Xuanhuang has been born; who knows when a second one would be born.

"Master, why do you think Immortal King Xuanhuang created so many demon gods?"

"He was already the invincible Immortal King of the Immortal World; there should be no one who is his opponent."

"Why is there a need to create so many Diyu demon gods?"

The Great Thousand World Mirror did not understand such matters at all.

Because even if there were over a billion more Diyu demon gods, it would not mean much to Immortal King Xuanhuang.

After all, an existence at the level of a Dao Lord cannot be shaken by over a billion demon gods.

Unless one becomes a Dao Lord and takes a step further, it is impossible to shake Dao Lord Eternal Night.

Therefore, it was completely unable to fathom what Immortal King Xuanhuang was doing.

It did not understand what Immortal King Xuanhuang's intentions were.

"If I am not mistaken, Immortal King Xuanhuang might be planning to break through to Dao Lord."

"The reason for creating over a billion Diyu demon gods is likely for his own cultivation."

Immortal King Taiyi's eyes revealed a glimmer of light, as if he had thought of something, and he stated his guess.

"For his own cultivation?"

"But can these Diyu demon gods really promote his cultivation?"

The Great Thousand World Mirror asked very curiously.

Because for an existence that has reached this level, the other party's actions have already exceeded its imagination.

Perhaps only a genius like its Master, Immortal King Taiyi, could understand the other party's actions.

"If I am not mistaken, the origins of those Diyu demon gods are not simple."

"Normally speaking, to create an Immortal King requires a significant amount of resources."

"Even if the other party is gifted and does not need to consume too many resources, it still requires time."

"Yet those Diyu demon gods emerged suddenly and became Immortal Kings without a sound."

"So there is only one conclusion: those Diyu demon gods are actually clones of Immortal King Xuanhuang."

Immortal King Taiyi said straightforwardly.

"They are all clones of Immortal King Xuanhuang?"

Once these words were spoken, the Great Thousand World Mirror's heart was stirred with huge waves.

It had never considered such a possibility before.

But hearing its Master's words, it seemed this was not an impossible thing.

It might even be the only reasonable explanation.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why so many Diyu demon gods suddenly appeared.

"That's right, I once heard that there was a monstrous Immortal King in a Prehistoric Civilization who created a technique for clones."

"The other party could gestate tens of thousands of clones."

"Every clone could cultivate just like the original body and comprehend the laws."

"So you can imagine, if tens of thousands of Immortal Kings were cultivating and comprehending the laws at the same time, what a terrifying thing that would be; it would certainly be able to raise one's cultivation to the extreme."

"I believe you also know that this Universe contains many laws."

"Although there are only so many Upper Laws, the Lower Laws are countless."

"If one wishes to become a Dao Lord, one must fully comprehend all the laws of this Universe."

"The problem is that if one is alone, it is basically impossible to comprehend all the laws."

"Even if one could truly succeed, there is no telling how much time it would take to consume."

Immortal King Taiyi said with great emotion.

To tell the truth, it was precisely because of this that he felt despair toward the Dao Lord Realm.

He felt that the Ancient King Realm was basically the limit of his life.

To want to go any further was an impossible thing.

Not to mention whether one could comprehend the Fate Law, even for ordinary Lower Laws, one would not know when they would be fully comprehended.

He simply did not know who exactly could reach such a level.

Originally, he was still puzzled as to why Immortal King Xuanhuang could do things that many Prehistoric Immortal Kings could not.

But now that he saw it, the other party actually had Mastery of the technique of avatars, so it was slightly understandable.

"So that's how it is."

"Immortal King Xuanhuang is using the technique of avatars to create one demon god avatar after another."

"Then these demon god avatars can take the opportunity to comprehend the Heavenly Laws one by one."

"Once these demon gods fully comprehend the Heavenly Laws, they can transmit them to the main body."

"In this way, Immortal King Xuanhuang has the opportunity to comprehend all the Lower Laws."

"My goodness, this is indeed an inconceivable Immortal Technique, worthy of being called a genius-like concept."

"Once successful, there is no need to spend endless years."

"Perhaps in the time of one Universe era, one could comprehend all the laws."

Great Thousand World Mirror suddenly realized.

It had previously been puzzled as to why Immortal King Xuanhuang wanted to create so many demon god avatars.

The birth of so many demon god avatars could not actually increase the combat power of Immortal King Xuanhuang.

But now that it saw it.

The appearance of these demon god avatars was not to improve combat power, but to assist in cultivation.

Each demon god avatar could help the main body comprehend the Heavenly Laws.

It was equivalent to countless main bodies cultivating at the same time.

It was unknown how much efficiency this could improve and how much time it could save.

The technique of avatars is absolutely an unprecedented Heavenly Immortal Art, simply infinitely profound.

"Hehe, things are not that simple."

"If it were really that easy, then the Prehistoric Civilization would have long since given birth to a Half-step Dao Lord."

"It wouldn't have just given birth to powerhouses at the Taigu Immortal King level until now."

Immortal King Taiyi shook his head, indicating that this matter was not as simple as imagined.

If it were really that easy, there would have been no telling how many Immortal Kings would have achieved a breakthrough long ago.

But the fact is that this Immortal Technique has great drawbacks.

This also made many Immortal Kings shy away from this Immortal Technique.

"Oh, could it be that this Immortal Technique has some drawbacks?"

Great Thousand World Mirror asked curiously.

"Of course there are drawbacks, and the drawbacks are very great."

"First of all, to gestate other avatars, one needs to cut the Origin within one's own body."

"The more avatars gestated, the more Origin is cut."

"So this will also cause the main body to become weaker and weaker."

"It is just like a cake; its volume is only so big, and if it is constantly cut, then the volume of each piece of cake will naturally become smaller and smaller."

"Therefore, once one has practiced this Immortal Technique, it will cause one's combat power to be extremely weak."

"Basically becoming the weakest Immortal King."

"If one is targeted by an enemy, then one might lose one avatar after another."

"Of course, its life-saving ability is also very strong."

"Unless all avatars are destroyed, the main body will not die."

"This can be considered as having gains and losses."

Immortal King Taiyi explained.

He had once understood the mysteries of this Immortal Technique, and had even been taught it.

The person who taught him various cultivation knowledge was naturally Immortal King Creation.

The other party was simply the guide of the Immortal Dao Civilization.

He specifically appeared before some geniuses with great potential to provide guidance.

Immortal King Taiyi had also once received the other party's favor.

Even some information about the Prehistoric Civilization was told to him by Immortal King Creation.

That is why he knew so much about the affairs of the Prehistoric Civilization.
