481: Chapter 481 The Potential of an Immortal King, A Frenzied Improvement!

"Hmm—"

After absorbing this Origin, which was comparable to a great tonic for a Peak Golden Immortal, the purple-gold Immortal light at Gu Qingxue's lower abdomen flared up instantly!

The light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire bedchamber as if it were broad daylight.

Crisp sounds of the Great Dao emanated from her womb; every syllable contained the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao's Laws, as if an Innate Divine Being were expounding the ultimate truths of the Universe.

Lu Yuan's pupils constricted slightly; with his Heavy Pupils, he could clearly see that the Meridians inside the fetus were reshaping and expanding at an astonishing speed.

The Innate Dao Bones were growing rapidly, and a purple-gold immortal fetus was slowly taking shape within the Dantian and Qi Sea, with countless Laws naturally imprinting themselves upon it.

This Innate aura of divinity and dominance surpassed the level of an ordinary True Immortal at this moment!

"Good heavens..." A smile tugged at the corner of Lu Yuan's mouth. "She has only been in the womb for six months, yet her foundation has already surpassed that of a True Immortal. My daughter likely possesses the potential of an Immortal King. Once you are born, I fear it will make old fogies who have cultivated for tens of thousands of years cough up blood in shame."

He withdrew his hand, carefully tucked in the corner of the quilt for Gu Qingxue, and reinforced the area around the bed with several protective Formations and Spirit Gathering Formations before turning to walk out of the bedchamber.

The night was deep, and the cold wind whistled across the Peak of Azure Cloud Peak. Lu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his Daoist robe flapping loudly in the night wind.

He gazed at the deep starry sky beyond the Daluo Heaven, his eyes piercing through layers of nebulae and spatial barriers, looking toward the direction of the Underworld Realm.

Jialan Heavenly Demon's Possession plan had failed; her main soul must be suffering from a backlash at this moment.

As for the Underworld Realm, once they realized the plan had been exposed, it was highly likely they would launch an attack ahead of schedule.

Although the time marked in the memory of Jialan Heavenly Demon's split soul was six months later, things in the world are unpredictable.

Rats accustomed to hiding in the shadows are capable of anything once they are pushed into a corner.

"Half a year..."

Lu Yuan's fingers tapped lightly against the white jade railing, producing a crisp sound.

Battle Intent flashed in his eyes, and the smile on his lips carried a hint of coldness. "Since you want to attack, then I shall stay here and prepare a grave for you that you will never forget!"

Defense? That was not Lu Yuan's personality; being on the receiving end of a beating had never been an option for him.

Since he already knew the enemy's troop deployment and assembly coordinates, he would strike first and catch them off guard!

He waved his hand, and three beams of spiritual light for communication vanished into the Void Realm, flying toward various parts of the Qingyun Dao Sect.

A moment later, Qin Shouzhuo, Ao Qing, and several core Elders of the Qingyun Dao Sect gathered in the main hall.

"Pass on my order." Lu Yuan sat in the main seat, his hands resting on the armrests; every word he spoke carried majesty.

The entire hall instantly fell silent; one could hear a pin drop.

"Open the treasury. Spare no cost and distribute all Medicinal Pills and Immortal crystals!" Lu Yuan's voice echoed in the hall. "All Disciples and Elders, regardless of their level of Cultivation, are to enter the time-acceleration Magic Treasure to Cultivate in seclusion. Within these next six months, the Qingyun Dao Sect will spare no resources to maximize our strength!"

His gaze swept over everyone present, the flickering candlelight reflected in his Heavy Pupils. "Additionally, notify Shui Changdong of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce and tell him to transport all of the Chamber's war supplies to Qingyun Mountain. Immortal armor, Talismans, Formation Materials, recovery Medicinal Pills... I want as much as there is. Six months from now, I will personally settle this bill in the treasury of the Underworld Realm."

Everyone was shocked to the point of trembling. "Old Ancestor, has something major happened?" Qin Shouzhuo asked.

"A group of rats wants to come and bite us." Lu Yuan sneered. "I want them to know that the teeth of the Qingyun Dao Sect are harder than theirs!"

Deep within the Eternal Night Demon Palace of the Qingyun Dao Sect, Lu Yuan sat cross-legged in the center of a time Formation; one day outside was equivalent to a hundred years within the Formation.

Before him, the piled-up cultivation resources had almost formed a small mountain. At the very top were the scraps of immortal tear green gold that he had intercepted from the auction.

These scraps were only the size of a fist, yet they were genuine Immortal King-level Materials. Emerald-green Immortal light flowed on the surface, and upon closer inspection, teardrop-shaped patterns could be seen slowly moving within the light, as if an Immortal were weeping.

This small piece alone was enough to drive any Grandmaster of Artifact Refining insane.

Floating nearby were three True Immortal Dao Fruits, obtained from the depths of the Taiyi Immortal Sect's treasury. Each Dao Fruit was the size of a baby's fist, and the surface was covered with natural Dao patterns—the imprints left on the fruit by the Laws of the world.

The space around the Dao Fruits was slightly distorted, emitting a strange fragrance that could increase one's Cultivation just by smelling it.

Further down were seven Taiyi Golden Pills. These Golden Pills were the treasure of the Taiyi Immortal Sect; each batch required one hundred thousand years to refine, and only three pills could be produced per batch.

The surface of the Golden Pills flowed with golden auspicious cloud patterns, and inside, it felt as if something were beating, emitting a vast, sea-like life essence.

In addition, there were mountains of various Immortal Materials—Purple Extreme Thunder Crystals, Nine Heavens Profound Iron, Life Immortal Spring, Chaos Stone Marrow... Each one, if brought out, would be enough to make Profound Immortal experts fight until their heads bled to snatch them.

But at this moment, these priceless Heaven And Earth Treasures were piled casually around Lu Yuan, like worthless sand and stone.

"Devour!" With a thought from Lu Yuan, the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art was circulated to its limit.

Boom—! With his Dantian as the center, a huge black hole suddenly emerged.

The black hole was three zhang in diameter, its edges burning with black demonic flames, and its center was so deep that it seemed to lead to another world.

A devouring force erupted from the black hole, like an ancient beast opening its bloody maw.

The scraps of immortal tear green gold were the first to be sucked into the black hole. That material, which was difficult for even an Immortal King expert to refine, was as fragile as thin paper in front of the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art.

The emerald-green Immortal light struggled violently within the black hole, but it only lasted for a moment before being completely ground to pieces, transforming into a pure Immortal power so vast it was suffocating, surging into Lu Yuan's limbs and bones.

Immediately after, the True Immortal Dao Fruits, Taiyi Golden Pills, and countless Immortal Materials... were madly devoured by the black hole like a breached flood.

Rumble! A muffled, thunderous roar emanated from within Lu Yuan's body; it was the sound of his Meridians being forcibly widened.

The Meridians of an ordinary Golden Immortal would snap inch by inch if they could only withstand thirty percent of the Immortal power impact, yet what Lu Yuan was enduring at this moment was a torrent of Immortal power ten times that amount! This vast energy, sufficient to burst ten Golden Immortals, surged and roared within his body like out-of-control Dragons.

Every meridian was constantly tearing, restructuring, and widening amidst intense pain; this process repeated over and over, without end.

But Lu Yuan's expression remained as calm as an ancient well; this bit of pain was not even worth mentioning compared to the life-and-death tempering he had experienced along his journey.

He closed his eyes, his Divine Sense sinking into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, and began to practice the Hehua Zizai Method he had shared with Lu Li over and over again.

This ancient scripture of the Immortal Emperor was profound to the extreme. The scripture was only three hundred words long, yet every single word contained infinite transformations.

When Lu Yuan recited the first word in his Sea of Consciousness, the strokes of the word suddenly disintegrated, transforming into billions of fragments of Laws, each fragment evolving the most essential principles of creation and evolution in the world.
