526: Chapter 526 New Intelligence: The Immortal King's Legacy!

Under the horrified gazes of Demon Ancestor Fantian and Demon Ancestor Mingxue, the figure of Demon Ancestor Yezha began to disappear into the Void Realm, starting from his feet.

At the very last moment, just before his head was about to vanish, he rasped, "Lu Yuan... you are a devil..."

Accompanied by that final curse, Demon Ancestor Yezha's Realm plummeted from the Early Stage of Immortal Lord like a freefall.

Peak Golden Immortal... Late Stage Golden Immortal... Middle Stage Golden Immortal... In the end, his aura completely stabilized at the Early Stage of Golden Immortal, and he was in a miserable state, suffering from severe damage to his Origin Qi, on the verge of falling to the Profound Immortal Realm at any moment.

He did not die, because the Formation Lu Yuan had modified in the past did not kill him immediately; it merely trapped him.

But for an assassin, losing their core Law and Realm was crueler than death itself!

Within the Demon Palace, dead silence descended once again.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, of the four great Immortal Lords, besides Demon Ancestor Fantian who had fallen to the Peak of Golden Immortal, the other three had also fallen: one to the Early Stage of Golden Immortal, one to the Middle Stage of Golden Immortal, and one was practically crippled!

The four supreme overlords who had once stood high above, ruling the Exotic Realm for countless years, were reduced to laughingstocks at this moment.

They hadn't even seen the face of their enemy before having the majority of their cultivation casually crippled across the River of Time!

Fear—an unprecedented fear stemming from the depths of their Souls—completely shattered their psychological defenses.

"A devil... he is simply not human..." Demon Ancestor Mingxue slumped on the ground, trembling all over.

Although Demon Ancestor Fantian was the least injured of the four, his face was now as pale as paper.

He had originally intended to assemble an army, forcibly blast open the boundary wall, and fight Lu Yuan to the death. But now... Fight to the death? With what?

If someone can travel upstream against the River of Time to erase your past, what use is it to send more people?

"Retreat... retreat quickly..." Demon Ancestor Fantian gave the order with a trembling voice: "Seal the boundary wall! Lock down the Exotic Realm! All clansmen, do not approach Daluo Heaven by even a single step!" "Lu Yuan... absolutely must not be provoked!"

Meanwhile, at the Qingyun Dao Sect, in a secret chamber at the back of the mountain.

"Pfft!" Lu Yuan's true body suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale.

Having forcibly traveled upstream against the River of Time four consecutive times to fine-tune Karma, even with the System masking the heavenly secrets, the backlash from space-time had still caused immense trauma to his Divine Soul and Physical Body.

"Although this Art of Self-Transformation combined with the Great Dao of Time is Heaven-Defying, the consumption is truly too great."

Lu Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and felt his somewhat chaotic Qi, letting out a bitter laugh.

"However..." A light of immense excitement and fanaticism flickered in Lu Yuan's eyes. "Everything is worth it."

The Dao Fruits of the four Immortal Lords were crippled, and the highest combat power of the Exotic Realm was completely paralyzed. The crisis of Daluo Heaven had been invisibly resolved by his own hand!

Inside the secret chamber of the Qingyun Dao Sect, Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes; in his deep pupils, the halo of Chaos gradually receded.

"The Realm of the Early Stage of Immortal Lord has finally completely stabilized." He felt the Immortal Lord Law within his body that seemed capable of controlling everything, and the corners of his mouth curled into a satisfied arc.

Although forcibly traveling upstream against the River of Time had brought considerable backlash, thanks to the "heartfelt contributions" of those four Exotic Realm Demon Ancestors, not only had he fully recovered, but he had even turned a misfortune into a blessing, elevating his comprehension of Time and Karma to a higher level.

At this moment, if he were willing, he could single-handedly storm into the Nine Nether Underworld and completely annihilate those four Demon Ancestors who had fallen from their pedestals. However, Lu Yuan did not do so.

"Immortal King Jiuyou..." Lu Yuan murmured softly. The reason the Exotic Realm dared to be so arrogant, and the reason the four Demon Ancestors dared to recklessly plan an invasion, was ultimately because a true Immortal King stood behind them!

Although Immortal Lord and Immortal King were only one Realm apart, it was an absolute suppression of life hierarchy. With a single thought, an Immortal King could change the world and dictate the rules of a Universe.

Before having absolute certainty of being able to contend with an Immortal King, Lu Yuan did not want to prematurely awaken this terrifying existence who was sleeping or in seclusion.

"Strength, it is still not enough." Lu Yuan sighed softly. The Early Stage of Immortal Lord might allow one to walk sideways in Daluo Heaven, but in higher-level games, one was still just a slightly larger chess piece.

The Hour of the Rat arrived. [Ding, daily intelligence has been refreshed.]

[Purple Intelligence: The Immortal Lord Old Ancestors of the three established Immortal Lord factions in Daluo Heaven have quietly returned from their travels today.]

[Detailed Intelligence: These three factions are the Jiuyuan Temple (Immortal Lord Wanmiao), Profound Yang Immortal Mansion (Immortal Lord Xuanyang), and Taixu Immortal Sect (Immortal Lord Taixu). Because their Immortal Lord Old Ancestors had not returned for one hundred thousand years, these three sects had fallen to the Golden Immortal level. The three Immortal Lords returned together this time because they calculated that a world-shaking Opportunity that would help them break through to the Late Stage of Immortal Lord was about to appear in Daluo Heaven.]

"Late Stage of Immortal Lord?" Lu Yuan looked at the intelligence, his eyebrows slightly raised. Breakthroughs in the Immortal Lord Realm were inextricably linked to the Law of Time.

The Early Stage of Immortal Lord required leaving marks at past time nodes; the Middle Stage of Immortal Lord required leaving imprints at multiple past nodes to ensure that even if Karma were severed, one could still be resurrected.

And breaking through to the Late Stage of Immortal Lord was of Hell-level difficulty! It required a Cultivator to use supreme magic power to forcibly travel to a "future" time point and leave their own imprint in the unknown future!

This was not just a test of strength, but an extreme requirement for the understanding of the Great Dao of Time. If one were slightly careless, they would be lost in the endless branches of the future and completely erased by the River of Time.

Lu Yuan continued reading. [Purple Intelligence: This Opportunity is the Legacy ruins of the legendary Immortal King Wuzhong. It will appear tomorrow at noon in a folded space-time somewhere in Daluo Heaven. Only those who have reached the Immortal Lord Realm and have a profound understanding of the Law of Time may enter. Before that, one can use the power of the Law of Time to forcibly blast open a corner via specific coordinates and sneak in early. (Click to view coordinates and opening method)]

[Purple Intelligence: The place of Immortal King Wuzhong's Legacy is perilous. Inside, not only are there assessments left by the Immortal King, but a Demonic Thought of an Immortal King is also sealed within. This Demonic Thought is cunning and will disguise itself as the Obsession of the Immortal King to lure entrants into accepting the Legacy, when in reality it is for the purpose of Possession and Rebirth. Even a mighty Immortal Lord can fall into the trap if slightly careless.]

[Method of Restraint: The Demonic Thought fears the dual strangulation of the Power of Purification and the Light of Reincarnation. At the moment of accepting the Legacy, one must use the Law of Reincarnation to block its escape route and use the Purifying World Fire to burn its Origin...]

After reading these three pieces of intelligence, Lu Yuan's breathing involuntarily quickened slightly. "Immortal King Wuzhong!"

This name, even in incomplete ancient books, represented a kind of ultimate glory. Legend had it that he ascended to kingship via the Great Dao of Time and had once stood alone against the ages; his strength was among the very top tier of Immortal Kings.

"These three old fellows have pretty good luck to be able to calculate the appearance of the Immortal King Legacy." Lu Yuan's mouth curled into a cold sneer: "Unfortunately, they met me."
