196: Chapter 196 Who Can Stand Against the Immortal King?

At the end of endless time and space, the strike missed.

That towering figure shrouded in dense immortal light let his gaze pierce through billions of miles of the Void Realm, landing upon Su Xuanchen's Divine Thought.

More accurately, it landed on the myriad things mother qi cauldron floating above his head.

"Heh..."

A soft chuckle resounded through the heavens.

Within that laughter was a hint of excitement, a trace of greed, and more so, an indifference and bloodthirstiness as if looking down at an ant.

"The myriad things mother qi cauldron... a fine item."

"This King underestimated you; to think you could cultivate such an extraordinary treasure."

The Immortal King's voice rang out again, tinged with a bit of sentiment.

"What a pity."

"A mere wisp of Divine Thought dares to act insolently before this King?"

"In this King's eyes, how is your Quasi-Immortal King Realm any different from an ant?"

He changed the subject, his gaze sweeping toward the camp of the Immortal Palace, his tone filled with undisguised contempt.

"What's even more laughable are those hypocrites from the Immortal Palace."

"If they hadn't secretly led the way and leaked that fellow Kunpeng's whereabouts during the Ancient Great War, how could this King have suppressed and killed him so easily?"

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the minds of all the surviving experts!

The Kunpeng, one of the ten ancient fierce beasts, actually died due to the Immortal Palace's betrayal?!

This shocking secret, buried for countless eons, shook everyone to their core. The looks they cast toward the Immortal Palace were filled with suspicion and hostility.

"Very well."

The Immortal King seemed to have lost interest in talking.

He had originally intended to use the method of descending a wisp of Divine Thought and the law of Karma to directly erase Su Xuanchen.

But now, he changed his mind.

"Since this wisp of Divine Thought of yours is so stunning, this King shall grant you a dignified death."

"This King shall descend with my true body!"

As the words fell...

"Rumble—!!!"

From deep within the endless Void Realm, an ancient chariot cast from gold crushed through time and space, roaring as it approached!

Before the chariot were two Qilin made of bones. Ghostly blue soul fires burned in their eye sockets as they let out a silent roar toward the sky.

An immortal aura, ten thousand times more terrifying than before, swept through the entire Kunxu Divine Domain like the Milky Way pouring down!

Above the firmament, the sea of stars fell!

Burning great stars fell helplessly from the sky like overripe fruit, exploding mid-air into brilliant fireworks.

"An Immortal Passage... he wants to forcibly open an Immortal Passage and lead the Dark Army into this world!"

An old True Immortal who had lived for several eons screamed in sheer terror, wanting to tear through the Void Realm and escape without a second thought.

However, it was too late.

The space of the entire Divine Domain had been completely locked down by that terrifying pressure!

Ning Jiu and the other prodigies were pale, their Divine Souls trembling.

Under that matchless pressure, they felt as small as dust, finding it difficult to even move a finger.

Only the massive Kunpeng Nest emitted a soft light, forming a huge shield that barely protected everyone from being crushed by the pressure.

Mid-air.

Su Xuanchen's phantom of Divine Thought looked at the nearly formed Immortal Passage, his expression more solemn than ever before.

He knew he had to act.

He looked back at the three small figures below, their faces filled with worry.

Then, he turned around with grim determination.

"Burn!"

He gave a low shout.

At that moment, the originally ethereal white-robed figure burst into flames!

Vast power of Divine Thought turned into golden flames, completely enveloping him.

At the cost of burning himself, he exchanged for a moment of... Immortal King-level combat power!

"Buzz—!"

The myriad things mother qi cauldron vibrated violently, shedding billions of strands of mysterious yellow mother qi, each strand crushing the Void Realm.

"Jie! Bing! Dou! Zhe! Zhen! Lie! Qian! Xing!"

The Nine Character Mantra exploded from his mouth.

The Nine Secrets combined into one!

A peak combat power capable of dimming the sun and moon and overturning heaven and earth erupted!

"What?!"

"Is he... is he crazy?!"

"A mere wisp of Divine Thought dares to directly fight the Immortal King?"

This scene completely shocked everyone present.

Only now did the world finally understand just how terrifying this Su Family Ancestor truly was.

"A mere grain of rice dares to compete with the radiance of the moon?"

The Immortal King let out a disdainful snort.

He raised his hand and pointed a finger lightly at the burning white-robed figure.

Su Xuanchen neither dodged nor avoided it.

He fused all his power into this single punch.

Heavenly Emperor Fist!

"Boom—!!!"

Fist and finger collided!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only an all-consuming, extreme... whiteness.

When the light dissipated...

Su Xuanchen's phantom of Divine Thought was riddled with holes, on the verge of vanishing at any moment.

Yet that overbearing projection of the Immortal King had also been struck by this punch, with cracks appearing all over it!

"You... seek death!"

The Immortal King was completely enraged.

He hadn't expected that he would actually be wounded by a wisp of Divine Thought!

This was a humiliation!

He was about to forcibly cross the world with his true body at any cost to completely erase this suicidal ant.

However, the white-robed figure that was about to vanish slowly raised his head.

"Sink into darkness, and you may avoid this calamity."

The Immortal King's icy voice rang out, carrying a hint of condescending "grace."

"Calamity?"

Su Xuanchen smiled.

That smile was arrogant and confident.

"When the calamity arrives..."

"...I shall simply break it."

As the words fell...

His figure completely dissipated between heaven and earth.

The entire scene was deathly silent.

Everyone was stirred to a fever pitch by those plain yet domineering words!

"When the calamity arrives, I shall simply break it..."

"What grand words! What powerful confidence!"

"Just what terrifying level has this Su Family Ancestor's true Realm reached?!"

Some even thought of that Realm which only existed in legends and had been cut off for countless eons.

Mortal World Immortal!

The Immortal King's attempt to break into the world filled the experts from all sides with shock and anger.

Within the Kunpeng Nest, there were still countless new generation prodigies of the Xuanhuang Great World.

These people were the future of the major forces!

Now, although the Kunpeng Nest had become a temporary sanctuary, everyone knew it couldn't possibly stop an Immortal King!

Only one last hope remained in everyone's hearts.

Su Xuanchen!

His daughters were still in the nest; there was no way he would sit idly by!

"Rumble!"

The failure of the two strikes caused the Immortal King to lose face completely, and he was fuming with rage.

The Golden Chariot vibrated violently, and the bone Qilins let out heaven-shaking roars as the galaxy shattered!

At any cost, he used that Golden Immortal Weapon to forcibly construct an Immortal Passage!

His true body was about to cross endless time and space to descend upon this world!

A dense, inseparable immortal aura began to taint the entire Kunxu Divine Domain.

The light of the Dao receded, and the galaxy dimmed.

Some Cultivators with weak wills were tainted by this aura, their eyes turning crimson as they actively fell to corruption, becoming the Immortal King's minions!

"It's over..."

The True Immortals were aghast, their hearts filled with despair.

They knew well that if no Immortal King-level expert stepped in to help, today, this Kunxu Divine Domain, along with the dozens of surrounding Heavenly Realms, would be completely wiped from the Xuanhuang Great World!

At this moment...

Who can stop the Immortal King?
