516: The King of Heaven
Finally, there was the God Clan Dao Soldier, also formed by the Fusion of a vast number. This God Clan Dao Soldier had already become a true God King, and not a God King with six divine patterns and six divine rings, but one with seven divine patterns and seven divine rings.
In terms of Realm, it was equivalent to the fused Golden Crow Dao Soldier, being a Profound-Rank Heavenly General. In terms of potential, it was slightly inferior to the fused Golden Crow Dao Soldier.
Beyond this, there was a Dao Soldier that surprised Lu Chen the most, yet he had also anticipated it.
That was the Nether Clan Dao Soldier.
This Dao Soldier, after fusing all the Nether Clan, hooked souls, seized spirits, and erased life and death with a single stroke, had astonishingly transformed into a true Yan Monarch.
One of its Dharma Idols was a Book of Life and Death, and the other Dharma Idol was a Judge's Brush. When combined, the brush and the book could erase life and death with a single stroke, making it extremely special, second only to the Causality Source Tracing Mirror's ability to sever Karma.
Furthermore, this Dao Soldier was also a Profound-Rank Heavenly General, equivalent to the Immortal Lord level.
Lastly, there were the Causality Source Tracing Mirror, Heavenly Born Sword Immortal, and Heavenly Tribulation Dao Venerable. The majority of smaller clans without much Fusion potential, such as the Demon Clan, Han Clan, Yan Clan, Three-Eyed Clan, and countless Demonic Path cultivators, along with the Myriad Soul Banner and Evil Corpses raised by the Demonic Path, were all piled onto these three Dao Soldiers.
Among them, the Causality Source Tracing Mirror had already become the strongest, because the mysterious bronze coffin obtained in another Human Realm, which sealed a Zombie, was also used as resources and given to the Causality Source Tracing Mirror.
It was precisely because of this that the Causality Source Tracing Mirror directly stepped into the Profound-Rank Heavenly General level, an existence equivalent to an Immortal Lord.
The remaining Heavenly Born Sword Immortal and Heavenly Tribulation Dao Venerable were still half a step away, only at the Peak of the Yellow Tier Heavenly General, potentially stepping into the Profound-Rank Heavenly General level at any time.
In addition to this, there was an unexpected pleasant surprise, which was the Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers.
Because all Immortal Realms, whether True Immortals, Eternal Life Immortals, or Flying Ascension Immortals, had accompanying Spirit Treasures, even the Ascension Realm cultivators Lu Chen had killed almost all had accompanying Spirit Treasures, and a large portion of the Tongtian Realm cultivators did as well.
It was also because of this that Lu Chen's Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers had reached a Peak of several million. However, Lu Chen eventually found these Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers to have insufficient potential, so all those that could be fused were fused together.
Thus, the unexpected pleasant surprise appeared.
Tens of thousands, or even over a hundred thousand sword-type Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers were fused, resulting in a direct qualitative change, actually fusing into a 'Beginning' rank Spirit Treasure Sword. In terms of Realm, it also stepped into the Yellow Tier Heavenly General level, equivalent to a Quasi-Celestial Lord.
Over a hundred thousand blade-type Spirit Treasures also became 'Beginning' rank Spirit Treasures, similarly at the Yellow Tier Heavenly General level in terms of Realm.
The most exaggerated was the Spirit Treasure fused from over five hundred thousand spears, halberds, staffs, clubs, lances, pikes, ge, and tang-like weapons. Not only did it reach the 'Beginning' rank level, but in terms of Realm, it even stepped into the Profound-Rank Heavenly General, becoming one of the only two Dao Soldiers among the Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers comparable to an Immortal Lord! The other was the Causality Source Tracing Mirror!
Following that were hammer-type Dao Soldiers, cauldron-type, pagoda-type, rope-type, fan-type, soul-attacking type, and other Dao Soldiers. These Dao Soldiers were mostly strangely shaped, with scattered types and small numbers, showing no particular brilliance.
However, several Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers, after Fusion, stepped into the first-grade Divine Weapon level, equivalent to a Heavenly King.
Finally, Lu Chen summarized that after fully digesting this harvest:
His Dao Soldier count was full. Among them, there were five Dao Soldiers that reached the Profound-Rank Heavenly General level, equivalent to the Immortal Lord level.
There were six Dao Soldiers that reached the Yellow Tier Heavenly General level, equivalent to the Quasi-Celestial Lord level.
There were over three hundred first-grade Divine Weapons, equivalent to the Heavenly King level.
Second-grade and third-grade Divine Weapons were countless. As for fourth-grade Divine Weapons, Lu Chen currently had none; the lowest were third-grade Divine Weapons, equivalent to the existence of Eternal Life Immortals.
The total number of Dao Soldiers reached 212,865.
And the Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers, which did not occupy slots in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, also reached 160,000.
If counting the Dao Soldier Clones, Lu Chen's Dao Soldiers currently exceeded three million.
Although he had not yet gone to the Upper Realm, Lu Chen already possessed the Foundation to sweep through any minor force in the Upper Realm.
Finally, as Lu Chen stepped into the True Immortal level, a new characteristic of the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, which had not appeared for a long time, finally emerged.
And the new characteristic that appeared in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin was 'Dao Soldier Substitution'!
All injuries Lu Chen suffered would naturally be absorbed by the Dao Soldiers within the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin. Even terrifying Divine Powers capable of instantly scattering Lu Chen's soul could be completely transferred to the Dao Soldiers.
In other words, as long as the Dao Soldiers were not extinguished, Lu Chen could not die.
For Lu Chen, who possessed hundreds of thousands of Dao Soldiers, this could almost be called true immortality.
One must know that his Dao Soldiers also had Dao Soldier Clones, which could also substitute for death.
Over three hundred thousand Dao Soldiers, over three million Dao Soldier Clones.
Even without using the main Dao Soldiers, just using the Dao Soldier Clones, they could die for Lu Chen over three million times. Especially since the greatest characteristic of Dao Soldiers was their formidable Physical Body and Golden Body of Undying.
To directly destroy a Dao Soldier, it was almost impossible even for someone one major Realm higher than the Dao Soldier. Even if they were two major Realms higher, it would depend on whether the attacker's Divine Power was strong enough and whether their immortal weapon was sharp enough. Otherwise, even two major Realms higher, it would be very difficult to erase a Dao Soldier.
And Lu Chen's strongest Dao Soldiers were currently Profound-Rank Heavenly Generals, equivalent to Immortal Lords.
One major Realm higher than an Immortal Lord is a Quasi-Celestial King.
This means that even if Lu Chen stood still and let a Quasi-Celestial King attack him, he could not be killed.
Two major Realms higher than an Immortal Lord is an Immortal King.
Only such an existence might be able to kill Lu Chen, and that's under the condition that Lu Chen stands still and lets himself be killed.
But clearly, this possibility would never exist.
Therefore, this means that even if Lu Chen were to directly enter the Upper Realm at this moment, only the most Peak Immortal Kings, and...
Above Immortal Kings, Quasi-Immortal Emperors, could truly threaten him.
As for Immortal Emperors, they were supreme existences who had already entered the Time River, capable of traveling between the past and present. The beginning of epochs had lost meaning to them, and time, for them, was merely beneath their feet. Such existences rarely had a reason to personally take action.
As long as Lu Chen didn't jump in front of an Immortal Emperor to provoke them, there was basically no possibility of facing an Immortal Emperor.
They could be temporarily ignored.
"Today, I shall enter the Heavenly King Realm!" Lu Chen murmured, and then began his final secluded cultivation in the Human Realm.
After completely refining the massive feedback force from the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, Lu Chen would forcefully open the Heavenly Gate and go to the Upper Realm.
Of course, before that, he would settle everything in the Human Realm.
He closed his eyes and began cultivating in seclusion deep within the Immortal Path.
Over three hundred thousand Dao Soldiers helped him comprehend immortal Dao Laws and refine the feedback force together. This speed of cultivation was something no Heavenly Pride could match or even imagine.
Astonishingly fast, unbelievably fast.
In just a short month, he successfully fused the tenth Dharma Idol spirit, the Radiant Clarity Sect's Drifting Heavenly Emperor, and began fusing the eleventh Dharma Idol spirit, the Zhuluo Huangjia Heavenly Emperor!
At this moment, within his Violet Palace, ten Heavenly Emperors stood within his Nascent Soul, high and mighty, reciting supreme immortal scriptures, suppressing everything.
It's no exaggeration to say that although Lu Chen was currently only in the Early Stage of the Heavenly King Realm, about to enter the Middle Stage, his combat power could definitely easily sever the head of a Peak Quasi-Celestial Lord. Even if an Immortal Lord personally arrived, he could still fight.
ps: I took a leave yesterday, so there was only one chapter.
