363: Gou Chen Tianjun

One after another, ten-thousand-zhang warships appeared from within the wormhole.

Wang Xianzhi glanced at the striking deep blue, silver-starred banners on these warships and murmured, “It’s the Gouchen Heavenly Army!”

Having trained in the Immortal Realm for a hundred years, he naturally recognized the Heavenly Court fleet, renowned throughout the Immortal Realm, and the banners of this particular Heavenly Court fleet belonged to the Gouchen Heavenly Army, commanded by Emperor Emperor.

At this moment, Xiao Zhuo’s figure also appeared in the main control room.

“It seems the Heavenly Court has already noticed the Blood Demon Realm situation!” Xiao Zhuo’s eyes darkened slightly.

He wasn't entirely clear how vast the interests involved in the promotion of a Great Thousand World were, but he knew without a doubt that they must be earth-shattering.

Looking across the boundless boundary sea, there were only about three thousand Great Thousand Realm Domains. Although the Immortal-Demon Realm had once been glorious, it was now only in the middle to lower ranks of the three thousand Great Thousand Worlds.

For the current Xiao Zhuo, it was an unfathomably colossal entity.

Within the Immortal-Demon Realm, there were countless major powers that could easily eliminate him.

This was also the main reason Xiao Zhuo had always kept a low profile.

After all, until his strength was sufficient to dominate, he didn't want to die in vain.

However, unlike Innate Great Thousand Worlds like the Blood Demon Realm and the Immortal-Demon Realm, a boundary realm that advanced to become a Great Thousand World through Acquired means would, due to its immense Luck, quickly give birth to a saint position within the nascent boundary realm.

The Origin of a nascent Great Thousand World was also the most beloved tonic for other Great Thousand Worlds.

If the Immortal-Demon Realm could destroy the Blood Demon Realm after it successfully underwent Tribulation but before a Saint was born, it could seize the Origin of a nascent Great Thousand World and intercept the massive amount of Luck bestowed by the will of the boundary sea.

Bringing the seized Origin back and offering it as a sacrifice to the Heavenly Dao will of the Immortal-Demon Realm might even yield immense benefits.

To date, seven Middle Thousand Worlds in the Immortal-Demon Realm Sea had attempted to ascend to Great Thousand Worlds. Six of them were destroyed by tribulation, and one successfully ascended but was destroyed by the Heavenly Court's military.

That time, the Heavenly Court also tasted the sweetness, feasting to its fill and giving birth to more than a dozen Quasi-Saints.

And this time, the Heavenly Court had clearly come again.

Emperor Emperor was the primary enforcer against disobedient elements in the Heavenly Court, so the appearance of the Gouchen Heavenly Army here was clearly for this reason.

At the same time Xiao Zhuo and his companions noticed the Emperor fleet, a giant of over two zhang tall, with a body as burly as a Vicious Beast, on a flagship within the Emperor fleet, bearing a silver-edged Commander's banner, also discovered Xiao Zhuo's silver flying ship.

“Heh heh! What a coincidence, I just exited the wormhole and encountered a little ant!”

Jing Xiong was one of the four Immortal Kings under Emperor Emperor, an Immortal King at the Middle Stage of his cultivation, a Demon Immortal.

However, unlike many other Demon Immortals who no longer ate raw meat and blood, his favorite was still fresh flesh and blood.

Especially the flesh and blood of Immortals.

He had naturally seen silver flying ships before and knew they were valuable, but that was only relative to Golden Immortals; to him, a dignified Immortal King, they were nothing.

“Such a desolate southwestern boundary realm actually has such a flying ship. It must be some petty scoundrel trying to snatch benefits from the Blood Demon Realm! The benefits of this Blood Demon Realm can only belong to my Gouchen Heavenly Army. A few of you go and capture the people in that ship and bring them to my room!” Jing Xiong ordered indifferently.

“Yes! Commander!” A silver-haired Immortal Lord responded, leaving the flagship's control room.

Capturing a mere Heaven-Grade flying ship naturally didn't require him to bring anyone.

The silver-haired Immortal Lord quickly flew out of the flagship, and with a flash of silver light, he appeared a hundred miles in front of the silver flying ship.

This person directly used Void Realm teleportation, intending to intercept the silver flying ship.

Xiao Zhuo naturally noticed this person's actions.

A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

He hadn't intended to seek trouble, but trouble was coming to his door!

His face blurred for a moment, and under The Two Little Ones' accustomed gaze, he transformed into the Blood Sea appearance he hadn't used in a long time.

He Chongxiao was the captain of Jing Xiong's personal guard, belonging to the Heavenly Bear Army, one of the four legions of the Gouchen Heavenly Army.

Over the years, he had often secretly helped Jing Xiong abduct Immortals from the Immortal-Demon Realm, and he naturally knew the fate of those he abducted.

However, precisely because he had done many dirty deeds for Jing Xiong, he became the Immortal Lord most valued by Jing Xiong within the Heavenly Bear Army.

He received many resources and was now at the Taiyi Peak.

He Chongxiao wore his usual look of disdain, and his Void Realm teleportation precisely blocked the silver flying ship a hundred miles ahead.

He stood with his hands behind his back, and the immense pressure of an Immortal Lord at his Peak emanated forth, intending to force the flying ship to a halt as if crushing an insect.

A mere Heaven-Grade flying ship was nothing but a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in his eyes.

However, just as his coercion was about to reach the flying ship, an indescribably icy chill instantly seized his Divine Soul!

The main control room's hatch of the flying ship opened silently, and a figure stepped out.

That figure was shrouded in a blurry crimson halo, its face unidentifiable, with only a pair of eyes piercing through the Void Realm, scanning over with indifference.

That was not the gaze for a fellow being; it was a gaze overlooking dust, a gaze fixed upon dead objects!

He Chongxiao's thoughts, Immortal power, and even the power of the Dao were completely frozen under that single glance.

Boundless fear, like billions of icy needles, instantly pierced through all his defenses, reaching the deepest part of his Soul!

He felt as tiny as a grain of sand in a gale; the other party only needed a thought to completely erase all traces of his existence.

He wanted to scream, but his throat was choked by an invisible giant hand. He wanted to flee, but his limbs and bones were as rigid as ten thousand years of profound ice.

He could only watch as the silver flying ship, like passing through a void of air, glided past his frozen body without any obstruction. He could even clearly see Wang Xianzhi's stern face and Wang Xianyu's curious backward glance through the porthole.

“Why isn’t Commander He moving?” On a Heavenly Bear Army warship, a lookout soldier asked in confusion.

“How did that small ship get past? Commander He didn’t stop it?”

“Something’s wrong… Commander He’s aura… seems to have disappeared?” Another Immortal General with keen perception changed his expression slightly. In their eyes, He Chongxiao seemed to have instantly turned into a lifeless stone sculpture, with not even a trace of Immortal essence fluctuation detectable.

Inside the silver flying ship, Wang Xianyu’s small mouth was slightly open, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder: “Young Master… Young Master didn’t even make a move, and that person just…”

Wang Xianzhi gripped the helm tightly, his knuckles white from the effort, his eyes filled with uncontrollable fervor and awe: “A single glance… just a single glance! That person, by his attire, looked to be at least a Taiyi-level Immortal Lord, yet in front of Young Master, he was like a mere chicken or dog!”

Xiao Zhuo’s unfathomable back once again rose to an unattainable divine Peak in their hearts.

Xiao Zhuo had never actively revealed his Realm; The Two Little Ones only knew Xiao Zhuo was powerful, but they hadn’t expected him to be this powerful.

Inside the flagship, Jing Xiong’s amused smile instantly froze.

He suddenly stood up from his throne, his burly body stirring up a gust of wind, his eyes blazing with fierce light: “Useless!”

He clearly sensed that He Chongxiao had not willingly let them pass, but had been completely suppressed in his Divine Soul by an extremely terrifying power!

There was an expert on that silver flying ship!

And an expert far beyond his estimation!

“What petty scoundrel dares to play tricks in front of my Gouchen Heavenly Army! Stay here for me!” Jing Xiong’s furious roar was like a thunderclap from the Nine Heavens, shaking the surrounding Void Realm into ripples.

He stepped out of the flagship, and the furious Immortal power of an Immortal King at the Middle Stage soared into the sky, transforming into a colossal dark golden phantom bear that blotted out the sun. Its massive bear paw, carrying the terrifying power to tear apart star rivers, brazenly grabbed at the accelerating silver flying ship!

With this grab, space shattered inch by inch, forming huge black cracks, intending to crush the flying ship along with that part of the Void Realm!

Countless Heavenly Bear Army soldiers looked up in horror:

“The Commander has personally made a move!”

“That ship… it’s over!”

“Who on earth is it, to actually provoke the Commander’s anger?”

Just as the destructive giant palm was about to close, the black figure standing in the Void Realm behind the flying ship finally moved.

He didn't turn back, but merely waved his sleeve with extreme casualness at the giant phantom bear that blotted out the sky.
