542: Chapter 542 The Nine Immortal Kings

Profound Immortals and Golden Immortals were like ordinary generals in a military formation.

As for True Immortals, in this world, they could only be reduced to miners, herb gatherers, or even rations for some high-level Vicious Beasts.

Lu Yuan quickly discarded the useless, chaotic memories and extracted the most core information about the era.

The Immortal Ancient Era; this was not one hundred thousand years ago. That ripple in time, triggered by the fierce battle between two Immortal Lords, had directly pierced through the underlying barrier of the River of Time, sending him to the Immortal Ancient Era millions of years in the past!

This was the Great Era where the Immortal Dao had developed to its absolute Peak. On every primordial immortal island deep within the Chaos Sea, there was a true Immortal King presiding.

With kings rising together and stars shining brightly, in the deepest part of the soul-searched memories, Lu Yuan even captured a rumor.

Above the Nine Heavens, there had once been the sound of an Immortal Emperor's ancient scripture being chanted, triggering resonance of the Laws across the myriad worlds.

Lu Yuan released his right hand. The grey-robed Cultivator's Divine Soul had been completely drained, and his body slumped limply to the ground, turning into a lifeless desiccated corpse.

Lu Yuan stood in place, silent. He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the dense canopy, looking toward the incomparably huge primordial immortal island in the sky.

A flash of shock passed through his heart, followed by an irrepressible, extreme excitement.

In the present Daluo Heaven, the Laws were incomplete, and Immortal Kings had been extinct for one hundred thousand years. In the entire Daluo Heaven, even a single Golden Immortal had to be worshipped as a Foundation by the major forces.

When he broke through to the Immortal Lord realm in the present, every step required him to defy the Heavens.

It was different here. This was the Immortal Ancient Era, where the Immortal Dao Laws were the most complete and the resources of heaven and earth were the most abundant.

To others who Transmigrated through the River of Time, this place was a purgatory filled with mortal danger.

But for Lu Yuan, who possessed the Great Five Elements Chaos Art, the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, and the Art of Self-Transformation, this was the perfect hunting ground and an endless treasury of resources.

In this era, he could utilize the most complete Laws to perfectly condense the imprint of the Middle Stage Immortal Lord, laying the strongest Foundation of all time.

Various Immortal Kings? Immortal Emperor Legacies?

Dangerous light flickered in Lu Yuan's double pupils. His original plan had only been to obliterate the Past Self of Immortal Monarch Daoyan to resolve the troubles in the present.

This plan had to change. Since he had come to the Immortal Ancient Era, it was not just as simple as killing one Immortal Monarch Daoyan.

The high and mighty Dao Fruit of an Immortal Lord, and even the fortunes of an Immortal King, would all become stepping stones for his return to the present and his ascent to the Peak of the Immortal Dao.

"Daoyan, you are just the first appetizer."

Lu Yuan's voice echoed softly among the ancient trees. According to the searched memories, this was the Chaos Sea of the Immortal Ancient Era.

Lu Yuan keenly captured a trace of blood scent remaining in the air.

Within this blood scent, there were remnants of Immortal Lord-level Laws, as well as the unique aura of the myriad Daos belonging to Immortal Monarch Daoyan.

Immortal Monarch Daoyan had also been swept into the Chaos Sea of the Immortal Ancient Era. Moreover, judging by the weakness of this aura, he had suffered extremely heavy injuries in the ripples of time, and even his Immortal Lord Origin had sustained irreversible damage.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes, and a cold arc curled at the corners of his mouth.

The identities of hunter and prey were completely swapped at this moment.

In the River of Time, Immortal Monarch Daoyan had relied on his cultivation advantage to try and intercept and kill Lu Yuan.

Now that they were in this Chaos Sea, the severely injured Immortal Monarch Daoyan had, in Lu Yuan's eyes, turned into a walking Immortal Lord Dao Fruit.

As long as he used the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art to completely devour Immortal Monarch Daoyan's Dao Fruit and flesh, Lu Yuan's cultivation would surely surge again.

The violent Laws of the Chaos Sea blew against his body, but they were all absorbed and assimilated by his Innate Chaos Immortal Body, turning into his own nourishment.

For other Immortal Lords, the Chaos Sea was a deadly place with a nine-in-ten chance of death.

For Lu Yuan, who possessed the Innate Chaos Immortal Body and the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, this place was his absolute home field.

Lu Yuan closed his eyes to analyze the memories he had just extracted.

His consciousness sank into that grey-white fog of memories, sorting through them one by one.

The memories of that previous Early Stage True Immortal were incomparably complex. From its perspective, the face of this world was completely different.

Through soul-searching these local beings who had lived for long years, Lu Yuan pieced together the fragmented memory shards, like a puzzle, little by little restoring the true face of this era.

His cognitive map of the current era was completely filled in. The distribution of every force and the rules of every region were clearly imprinted in his mind.

This was the Chaos Sea of the Immortal Ancient Era, and the overt power structure was dominated by the Nine Immortal Kings.

Immortal Kings were existences standing at the Peak of the Immortal Dao, mastering complete supreme Daos. With a wave of their hands, they could create worlds, and with a single thought, they could obliterate billions of living beings.

Their power had already transcended common sense, reaching a level that could not be described in words.

The Nine Immortal Kings each occupied one of the nine super-large primordial immortal islands deep within the Chaos Sea. The combined area of these nine main islands was equivalent to the entire Major Thousand Worlds of the present.

With this as the center, radiating outward, they governed countless subsidiary immortal islands, forming a pattern of nine major spheres of influence.

Immortal King Wuzhong mastered the Great Dao of Time. His dojo was located at the source of the River of Time, where the Law of Time had already become concrete, turning into an endless river flowing through the Void Realm.

Under his command were three thousand subsidiary immortal islands, and the flow of time on each immortal island was completely different from the outside world.

On some islands, time was accelerated ten thousand times—one day outside was a hundred years on the island—specifically used to Cultivate Genius Disciples.

Immortal King Reincarnation mastered the Great Dao of Reincarnation and had one hundred thousand subsidiary immortal islands under his command.

Under his command were one hundred thousand subsidiary immortal islands, and each immortal island had a branch of the Reincarnation Channel, governing the rebirth of the dead and the reshaping of true spirits in this world.

Immortal King Reincarnation was the most mysterious, rarely leaving the Netherworld, but no one dared to underestimate his power to control life and death.

Immortal King Longevity's true form was a World Tree that pierced through the Star Domain. Its canopy covered the sky and sun, and every leaf was a Small World, nurturing immeasurable living beings.

Immortal King Yuanshi cultivated the Origin of Myriad Laws and had one hundred twenty-nine thousand subsidiary immortal islands under his command. He had many Disciples; just his subordinates at the Immortal Lord level numbered in the hundreds, each one a powerhouse capable of standing alone.

Immortal King Yuanshi was known as the Ancestor of Myriad Laws; his Cultivation Technique encompassed everything and could fuse any Law.

Immortal King Creation mastered the Great Dao of Creation. This Dao was the Dao of creation; every flower, every tree, every person, every beast could be born from Creation.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes, runes flickering in his double pupils as he gazed at the looming, massive shadows deep in the firmament.

The shadows were incomparably huge, occupying half the sky. Some were like ancient True Phoenixes spreading their wings; this was the form of a certain Immortal King's main island.

Some were like an upright immortal sword, its blade pointing directly at the highest point of the Chaos Void Realm.

Some were like a giant eye, emitting soul-stirring pressure even while closed.

Each main island emitted a different Dao aura, and these auras intertwined to form a net covering the entire Chaos Sea.
