Chapter 241: 【First-Rank Position, Heavenly Monarch of Plague】 (Thanks for the support)

Seeing Daoist Hundred-Eyes die, Emperor Xuan Ye did not show any disappointment, but his brows furrowed.

First it was Daoist Black Dog, then this Daoist Hundred-Eyes; the killing intent displayed by these two guys was too abnormal.

He sensed something, but could not be sure exactly what it was.

And the current situation did not allow him to think about these contents anymore.

In any case, these two people had successively slaughtered a large number of immortals in the Nine Heavens Immortal Court, causing many immortal deaths, directly provoking sharp contradictions.

Both times, it was the Xuanzhen Immortal Court making moves. Next, the Nine Heavens Immortal Court would definitely deal a fatal blow to the Xuanzhen Immortal Court; he needed to be prepared.

Once the response was not timely, successive defeats might lead to the direct collapse of the Xuanzhen Immortal Court.

On the side of the Nine Heavens Immortal Court, after killing Daoist Hundred-Eyes, Old Lord Play-Fate did not leave, but landed inside the Immortal Court and nodded toward Yu Qiongxiao, saying:

"Greetings, Emperor!"

The meaning of these words was that he was staying.

He needed to stay to help Yu Qiongxiao achieve victory.

If he hadn't killed Daoist Hundred-Eyes this time, and Daoist Hundred-Eyes had announced the cause and effect settled, then he could have left first. As for the disciple's cause and effect, he could go settle it later; he could still stay away from cause and effect and continue to escort his disciple from behind.

But this time he killed Daoist Hundred-Eyes, which meant he had directly formed a feud with the Xuanzhen Immortal Court.

Subsequently, if he had directly taken his disciple and left, and the Xuanzhen Immortal Court won, then the cause and effect would find him again.

In order not to be entangled by cause and effect, he had to help Yu Qiongxiao win.

Yu Qiongxiao was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately said:

"The Old Lord joining is surely like a tiger adding wings to our Nine Heavens Immortal Court! I confer upon Old Lord Play-Fate a first-rank position!"

As her voice fell, a golden light accompanied by a white aura landed on Old Lord Play-Fate; this was the phenomenon of connected destiny.

Old Lord Play-Fate chose to join, which meant he was truly one with the Immortal Court, so he could be conferred.

If defeated, the conferment would be useless; if victorious, the conferment would be an enhancement of status and position, and the benefits would naturally be more.

After the reward, Yu Qiongxiao's expression became serious. Looking at True Immortal Lingming and General Guangwei Shenwu who were still fighting in the sky, she said:

"The Xuanzhen Immortal Court has slaughtered the immortals of my Nine Heavens Immortal Court twice. We cannot just accept this; we must make them pay the price! Which immortal family has the means to slaughter the other side's immortals?"

Clearly, the means she mentioned here were not simple methods to kill a person, but supernatural powers to slaughter targets on a large scale.

At this time, an immortal wearing yellow Daoist robes and a crown, looking like an upright figure, stood out and said:

"My master, Lv Yue, has the method of Plague, which can cause immortals to die! I only request the Emperor to confer the position of Plague God!"

Yu Qiongxiao smiled upon hearing this:

"If your master can cause a thousand casualties to the immortals of the Xuanzhen Immortal Court, I will confer upon him the title of First-Rank Plague God Heavenly Monarch!"

Zhou Hui showed joy and immediately smiled:

"Your Majesty, please be patient; just wait for the good news to arrive!"

Saying this, he immediately transmitted the message to his master, Lv Yue.

Lv Yue had long been waiting for this moment.

What he practiced was the Way of Plague, which belonged to the Taiyi Way and was difficult to achieve Daluo. Moreover, this ability of his easily offended other immortals, so he needed a powerful backer.

He had always wanted to take a position in the Heavenly Emperor Palace before, but the conditions given there were really not great.

The rank was too low, and it had no help for his cultivation. Only a true position of a Great God could allow him to directly obtain the power of the three thousand worlds to consolidate his own cultivation.

This time, the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, he could actually not participate. He let his disciple join one side just to strive for the final conferment.

Since the Heavenly Emperor Palace could not give him an official position, he would support a group that could give him an official position to rebel; only in this way could he obtain progress.

Achieving Taiyi Golden Immortal was not the end of cultivation. The higher one reached, the more one wanted to go to a higher place, because you saw more beautiful scenery. However, the existing height could not appreciate the full picture; just peeking at a trace made you dream about it.

Above the military camp of the Xuanzhen Immortal Court, a figure appeared. He wore large red robes, his face was like blue indigo, his hair like cinnabar, his three eyes round and wide, riding a golden-eyed camel, his right hand holding a precious sword, his left hand holding a small black bell.

Immortals who recognized this person immediately had their expressions change greatly, exclaiming in horror:

"It is the Plague Immortal, Lv Yue!"

Lv Yue did not talk nonsense either, directly sacrificing the small bell, which instantly transformed into a large bell with a diameter of a hundred zhang, releasing various flying insects, black aura, and thick fog barriers from within, instantly covering the entire military camp of the Xuanzhen Immortal Court.

Those immortals used various means to resist, but most were of no avail.

Immediately, immortals were hit. Some had their whole bodies festering, sores growing on their heads and feet, and eyes starting to flow with pus, in extreme pain; some had their whole bodies burning hot, growing red pox, which, after breaking, turned into something emitting a foul odor, and upon staining the skin, became extremely itchy; others had various small insects crawling out of their bodies, gnawing on their flesh and bones, and their Immortal Spirit Qi also turned into nourishment for these small insects.

Even more terrifying was that these symptoms were contagious. One person could be infected with several symptoms at the same time, making these immortals with firm Dao hearts feel that life was worse than death, and some even had their Primordial Spirits leave their bodies, attempting to escape from here.

But they saw Lv Yue wave the Plague Sword in his hand, and a yellow-green wind swept everywhere; those Primordial Spirits also gradually dissipated as if poisoned.

In just a few breaths, thousands of immortals died directly!

Such lethality made both sides watching the battle unable to help but let out bursts of exclamation.

Yu Qiongxiao laughed loudly:

"Good, good, good! It is truly satisfying! It should be killed like this, let the Xuanzhen Immortal Court know the consequences of provoking us!"

On the other side, the malice in the heart of Lv Yue, who had slaughtered thousands of immortals, began to grow. He immediately urged the Plague Bell with greater force and flew toward other places where immortals gathered, chasing and killing those fleeing immortals.

Such actions would of course attract the attention of some Taiyi Golden Immortals and Daluo Golden Immortals watching here.

After all, there might be some people's disciples and grandchildren among them. If they were killed by him, that would be terrible!

Immediately, three Taiyi Golden Immortals descended directly.

One Taiyi Golden Immortal used a red flying knife as a magic treasure, another sacrificed a black gourd magic treasure, and the last one took out a jade ruyi.

After these three appeared together, they launched an attack on Lv Yue at the same time.

Their strength was not weak, but not the top-tier kind either. They were not on the same level as Old Lord Play-Fate, but they were a bit stronger than Daoist Hundred-Eyes.

Three Dharma treasures greeted Lv Yue, and he was undaunted.

The Plague Bell flew to the top of his head and transformed into a body-protecting Dharma treasure.

The Plague Sword in his hand flew out, carrying a thick plague aura, and flew toward one of the three.

Thinking this was all he had, he suddenly transformed into a three-headed, six-armed appearance, and then took out two other Dharma treasures.

One was the Xingtian Seal, and the other was the Heavenly Plague Umbrella. The two magic treasures flew out and matched the other immortals respectively.

Lv Yue fought three with one and did not fall into a disadvantage at all. The four Dharma treasures cooperated with each other and exerted extremely powerful combat strength.

Clearly, Lv Yue was one of the immortals who had obtained Lu Runping's Dao Seed.

Most of those who obtained Lu Runping's Dao Seed back then were Daluo Golden Immortals, and some Daluo Golden Immortals were not even qualified to know about this. Taiyi Golden Immortals who could obtain his Dao Seed were very few.

That Lv Yue could obtain it shows that he himself had no weak talent.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that he had so many Superior-grade Spirit Treasures, and the quality of each was very good, was very rare.

Otherwise, just relying on the ability of three heads and six arms, without matching weapons or means, one could not exert the power of this supernatural power at all.

And at this time, several Dharma treasures cooperated with each other, truly exerting the power of this supernatural power, fighting three with one, and he even occupied the upper hand.

Yu Qiongxiao laughed loudly upon seeing this:

"Good! What a Plague God Heavenly Monarch! Confer, Lv Yue as First-Rank Plague God Heavenly Monarch!"

As the voice fell, the power of destiny poured into Lv Yue's body.

The influx of this power made Lv Yue's combat strength increase by another point.

And it was this slight increase that directly gave Lv Yue the qualification to win.

He slashed a sword at a Taiyi Golden Immortal, just happening to break the opponent's defense and cut the opponent's body.

It was only a very small wound, but that was enough.

In the blink of an eye, that immortal's face was like golden paper, his whole body trembling, and he fell directly from mid-air.

Lv Yue's plague power, once infected, even a Taiyi Golden Immortal could not resist. Unless one had means specifically to restrain such spells, ordinary immortals basically had no resistance to this kind of attack.

Once injured, there was only the fate of waiting for death!

This was the terrifying aspect of the Plague Heavenly Monarch.

He could still occupy the upper hand fighting three; now that only two were left, how could he lose?

Watching those two about to be unable to parry, suddenly, a figure descended from the sky.

That was an old immortal in white clothes holding a whisk, with a white jade gourd tucked at his waist.

The aura emitted from his body was only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, but the feeling he gave people was as unfathomable as that Old Lord Play-Fate.

Heavenly Emperor Palace, True Person Changshou!

This title sounded ordinary, but his background as a person from the Heavenly Emperor Palace indicated that he was not a simple character.

He was an old immortal who had practiced for eight hundred thousand years and could be called a veteran figure of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, having experienced many great tribulations and remaining safe and sound.

His foundation and means were gradually becoming remarkable.

Seeing Lv Yue showing off his power, True Person Changshou only took out the white jade gourd and sprinkled a large area of spirit rain, and saw those immortals entangled by the plague directly recover.

All the plague aura also dissipated with the purification of the spirit rain.

That white jade gourd was a Superior-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, named "Pure Spirit Gourd," specifically restraining such means as poisonous gas.

All the poisons in the world only needed a drop of spirit rain to be resolved.

All things in the world are born and restrained by each other.

Lv Yue could form a restraining and overwhelming means against the vast majority of immortals, but in front of this gourd, it appeared very chicken-rib-like.

At this time, Lv Yue had already been controlled by malice. The Plague Sword in his hand slashed toward True Person Changshou, but was hit by the latter with a whisk, directly flying backward and landing on the other side of the Heavenly Boundary River.

Song Wuming walked over and directly released a Glazed Pure Fire, which merged into Lv Yue's body, burning away the malice in his body, making him regain his reason.

Lv Yue, whose IQ had re-occupied the high ground, immediately understood something and thanked Song Wuming:

"Thank you!"

Actually, if Lv Yue died, Song Wuming could immediately obtain a Dao Fruit.

But at this time, the two were too close.

After the Dao Fruit was produced, it would appear within the Treasure Mirror.

Song Wuming was worried that a strong line of cause and effect would be exposed.

Therefore, saving him was the safer method.

If he could obtain a Daluo Dao Fruit, Song Wuming could bear this risk. At the very least, after having a Daluo Dao Fruit, it meant that even an Immortal Venerable could not do anything to him.

The Treasure Mirror being upgraded to the Daluo level would allow him to truly break away from cause and effect. Any supernatural power reaching the Daluo level was an existence invincible below the Immortal Venerable.

True Person Changshou glanced at Song Wuming and did not continue to pursue, but landed back in the Xuanzhen Immortal Court.

Yu Qiongxiao walked over and looked at Lv Yue, praising:

"Plague Heavenly Monarch is indeed powerful! You go back and rest for a while; there will still be places where the Heavenly Monarch is needed in this battle!"

Lv Yue nodded and left upon hearing this, of course not flying back to his cave, but to the rear of the military camp.

True Person Changshou's strike had caused him not small injuries, and he needed to recuperate well before he could recover.

And on the other side, the battle between True Immortal Lingming and the Heavenly Emperor Palace general ended, with neither side winning.

They did not use their full strength to fight to the death.

It was completely unnecessary, and it was not yet that time.

Both sides let go and returned to their respective camps, because the war had entered another stage at this time.

Next, there would be no such upright battles, but they would try every means to weaken the other side.

The Xuanzhen Immortal Court killed tens of thousands of immortals of the Nine Heavens Immortal Court, and Lv Yue's move directly took away the lives of tens of thousands of immortals.

Added to the one hundred thousand people who died in the previous battle, both sides had lost more than one hundred thousand people.

But this tribulation power did not disappear. Only the falling of Mysterious Immortals or True Immortals did not take away much tribulation power. The tribulation power taken away by the death of a Taiyi Golden Immortal was quite considerable.

It can be foreseen that the next battles will be very targeted, aimed at those who have relationship networks.

Especially loose cultivators who do not belong to the four major forces; once targeted, it is very likely that an entire sect will be killed.

This war is used by immortals on both sides to settle cause and effect, so it is impossible to leave other causes and effects. Once a move is made, it is a direct extermination of the sect.

Of course, the final settlement of cause and effect still has to be placed on the complete destruction of one side's Immortal Court. Perhaps the falling of someone with great cause and effect, like Xuan Ye or Yu Qiongxiao, is when the tribulation truly ends.

And this day will not be too far away.

At this moment, in the morning meetings of the Immortal Courts on both sides, they are discussing!
