Chapter 551 - 457: Battle of the Immortal Kings, Great Gains
The thunderclouds rolled thick, boundless evil light traversed the sky, and spatial rifts visible to the naked eye were densely packed like cobwebs.
"Good heavens..."
As soon as Zhang Kui entered the Immortal King Cave Heaven, he felt his scalp tingling, his whole body aching as if pierced by needles, with the Cute Head Skill continuously warning him of terrifying death alarms.
Boom!
Bolts of lightning erupted from the bottom of the heavy dark clouds like volcanic eruptions, carrying boundless killing intent.
In the sky, massive amounts of evil light gathered, shuttling back and forth, whistling as if countless sharp swords could fall at any moment.
Zhang Kui had never seen such a scene before; the entire world seemed to carry endless hostility, the laws distorting and collapsing as if to destroy everything.
Of course, these thunderous evil lights weren’t that powerful; even an ordinary Immortal could handle it with ease. However, everything was just a facade.
Zhang Kui could feel that beneath those endless thunderclouds and Nine Netherworld, higher above the peak of heavenly evil light, there was a terrifying force brewing. Once provoked, it would trigger a heaven-shaking chaos, leaving him with no bones.
Fortunately, he had now employed the Stand Without Shadow Immortal Skill, parasitizing the void, invisible and formless. Without a deliberate targeting and using of a technique to break it, it was impossible to detect.
Of course, this Immortal King Cave Heaven was equivalent to an Immortal King Domain, so any disturbance might be immediately noticed. Therefore, Zhang Kui also dared not use immortal skills to probe.
Crack!
The terrifying thunder continued to roll as if doomsday had arrived.
Zhang Kui squinted his eyes slightly, his figure flickering like a ghost, swiftly approaching the looming ruins of the Immortal Hall in the distance while cautiously observing all around.
Contrary to what was seen in the illusion, the Immortal King Cave Heaven was astonishingly large.
Although he dared not use the Tongyou Skill to probe, the rolling sea of clouds visible to the naked eye almost stretched endlessly, and even the ruins of the Immortal Hall were astonishingly vast. One could imagine the grand spectacle of all immortals coming to court in the past.
The Stand Without Shadow Immortal Skill had another advantage: hidden in the void, unrestricted by any array or mountain rock. Thus, it didn’t take long before Zhang Kui slowly landed atop the ruins of the Immortal Hall.
The scene before him made his expression change suddenly.
Apart from the soil and rocks below, all the structures in these ruins were constructed from Cave Heaven Divine Crystals, and even the plaza floor was made entirely of them.
Damn luxurious!
Although Zhang Kui was excited, he was not surprised.
The Cave Heaven Divine Crystals were originally a product when an Immortal King developed a cave heaven. Although they couldn’t compare with the divine objects born from the Hongmeng in the main cosmos, they were first-rate innate divine materials, possessing various incredible uses.
Even though no investigation was done, the vast expanse of the Immortal Hall ruins was boundless. Let alone building a fleet of Cave Heaven Divine Crystals, building a small Star Realm would be more than sufficient.
Thinking of this, Zhang Kui became even more cautious.
He hadn’t forgotten that terrible strange events had occurred here, and deep within the rolling thunderclouds, there were still indescribable beings lurking.
Swoosh!
In the desolate ruins of the Immortal Hall, a room-sized piece of radiant Cave Heaven Divine Crystal suddenly disappeared without a trace, without a sound.
Zhang Kui remained silent, vigilantly looking around.
Based on all signs, although the Immortal King Cave Heaven had been abandoned, it hadn’t collapsed, proving the owner still existed.
The giant eye beneath the rolling thunderclouds, those terrifying tentacles spreading across the Eastern Star Realm, were definitely related to the Longevity Immortal Monarch!
If his guess was correct, what kind of power could transform an Immortal King into such a terrifying monster?
Zhang Kui couldn’t imagine, nor did he want to alert the other party...
Yet at that moment, the entire heavens and earth suddenly erupted.
Boom!
The rolling black sea of clouds surged madly as if some colossal creature was about to rise.
Crack!
The sky suddenly emitted an eerie sound, countless evil lights crisscrossed, and black thunder spanned the sky as if tearing the whole world apart.
What happened?!
Zhang Kui’s scalp tingled, thinking he had startled the other party. Without a second word, he used the Observing Through a Wall Immortal Skill, eyes rotating with cosmic stardust, revealing a different view of the world.
Deep within the rolling thunderclouds, a shadow the size of a star was slowly rising; it was an exceptionally huge head, its surface covered with lumps like those of strange beings from the underworld, each exuding an immortal-grade aura.
What’s more terrifying, those lumps also formed multiple twisted faces, all seemingly awakening, with their mouths emitting indescribable howls, frenzied yet with a hint of sanctity.
The forehead of each head was precisely the tentacle that once traversed the starry sky, manifesting instantly under the Observing Through a Wall Immortal Skill, densely swarming into the sky.
The huge head belonged to a middle-aged man with a dignified expression. Even with eyes closed, one could feel the aura of a king overlooking the stars; the three eyes on his forehead were the giant eye seen before.
As the multitude of underworld lump heads howled, masses of golden light continually gathered, and the huge head’s eyes seemed about to slowly open...
Divine Power!
Deceit Immortal Path, Immortal Gods Cultivation!
Zhang Kui’s scalp tingled, instantly realizing many things.
This guy was indeed the Longevity Immortal Monarch!
Master Illusion once said, the highest magic technique in the Yinji Scripture of the Deceit Immortal Path, was to forcibly create a race of strange beings from the underworld, cultivating both immortals and gods to reach incredible realms.
Yet, how difficult it was to create a race, especially using such chaotic beings from the underworld. True Monarch Yinghai had spent ten thousand years planning without success, hence venting his anger on the Blood God Sect.
But this Longevity Immortal Monarch had evidently gone further. He actually used himself as a foundation, hatching countless parasitic beings from underworld oddities, and all had reached the immortal level.
