241: Chapter 241 The Giant's Promise Leads to the Submission of the Four Kings

Within the grand hall, blood Qi surged.

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor's vow rang out powerfully.

"I will do everything in my power to help the four of you break through your shackles!"

"And let you become true Immortal Kings!"

These two sentences were like wild thunder from the Nine Heavens.

They exploded within the minds of the Four Quasi-Immortal Kings.

The hall instantly fell into a deathly silence.

One could hear a pin drop.

Only the essence emitted by the four blood phoenix immortal pills made a faint flowing sound in the Void Realm.

Quasi-Immortal.

It sounded majestic and awe-inspiring.

It was only a single step away from being a true Immortal King.

But this step was a desperate chasm lying before countless peerless Prodigies.

An insurmountable gap.

An Immortal King masters the complete Laws of the Great Dao.

Their words become Law.

With a single thought, they can reshape heaven and earth and look down upon the changing of eras.

Whereas a Quasi-Immortal can only borrow a trace of incomplete Law power.

In the eyes of an Immortal King, a Quasi-Immortal is still just a slightly stronger ant.

A casual strike.

Could easily suppress and kill several Quasi-Immortals.

The gap between the two is even greater than the gap between a Mortal and a True Immortal.

The Four Heavenly Emperors had been trapped in this Realm for a full tens of thousands of years.

Without the slightest progress.

They knew the difficulty of a Breakthrough all too well.

So long that they had even begun to doubt themselves.

So long that they thought a Breakthrough in this life was completely hopeless.

Now, hope had suddenly descended.

Heavenly Emperor Chiguo was the first to lose his composure.

He abruptly stood up.

His movement was violent.

The tattered Jade Pipa in his arms let out a sharp, piercing "zheng" sound.

He widened eyes.

He stared fixedly at the Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor on the throne.

His face was a complex mix of disbelief and wild joy.

"Ancient Ancestor..."

Chiguo's voice trembled violently.

Even his breathing became incredibly rapid.

His chest heaved.

"You... what did you just say?"

He couldn't believe his ears.

Heavenly Emperor Guangmu tightly gripped the Red Cord in his hand.

He used too much force.

Veins bulged on the back of his hand.

His expression changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth hard.

He even bit his lip until black blood flowed.

The Green Precious Sword in Heavenly Emperor Zengzhang's hand trembled uncontrollably.

The hand of Heavenly Emperor Duowen holding the Demonic Umbrella froze completely in mid-air.

He was as if petrified.

The three of them looked up in unison.

Their gazes were locked onto the Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor.

Desperately waiting for his reconfirmation.

Even if it was a dream.

They wanted to hear this high and mighty Immortal King say it again with his own mouth.

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor sat regally on the True Dragon bone throne.

He took in all of their reactions.

He was extremely satisfied in his heart.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

"What?"

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor smiled slightly.

His tone was filled with absolute confidence and dominance.

"As a dignified Immortal King, would I use such a matter to toy with you?"

He leaned forward.

His burning gaze swept over the four of them.

"My promises are worth a thousand gold pieces per word; there are absolutely no false words."

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor's voice was sonorous.

Echoing continuously within the grand hall.

"As long as you help me find the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court."

"And help me obtain that complete Phoenix Supreme Art."

"Not only will I exhaust the foundations of the Blood Phoenix Domain to help you achieve a Breakthrough."

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor paused.

And threw out an even more tempting bargaining chip.

"In the future, I am even willing to call the four of you my brothers."

"And stand on equal footing in this Dark Great World!"

Once these words were spoken.

The Four Heavenly Emperors were completely moved.

To be called brothers!

To stand on equal footing!

To them, this was simply an irresistible and fatal temptation.

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor leaned back on his throne.

He had an extremely shrewd calculation in his heart.

These four had extremely strong combat power.

Together, they could withstand an Immortal King.

What exactly were they lacking?

What they lacked was precisely a peerless Opportunity.

What they lacked was precisely the support of a massive power.

And these two points were exactly what the Blood Phoenix Immortal Domain possessed.

He could fully utilize the endless foundations of the Blood Phoenix Domain.

To forcibly push these four onto the altar of Immortal Kings.

Once the four of them successfully achieved a Breakthrough.

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor could naturally bring them completely under his command.

At that time.

The Blood Phoenix Immortal Domain would possess five Immortal Kings in one sect!

Looking across the entire Dark Great World.

This would be an absolutely top-tier power.

A flash of fanaticism flickered deep in the Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor's eyes.

As long as these four achieved a Breakthrough.

The Blood Phoenix Domain would completely rise.

What was Supreme Giant Rongmen?

What was Supreme Giant Huanxing?

All of them would be trampled under his feet!

He wanted the banners of the Blood Phoenix Clan to be planted across the entire Dark Great Realm.

He wanted to become the sole Supreme Dominator of the Dark Great Realm.

More importantly.

Once he obtained the Phoenix Supreme Art.

He could completely refine his Bloodline.

Compensate for his own flaws.

And charge toward the legendary position of Supreme Giant.

This was a guaranteed profitable deal.

These four people were the sharp blades in his hands.

Inside the hall.

The Four Heavenly Emperors looked at each other.

Their Divine Thoughts intertwined frantically in the Void Realm.

"Big brother, can this old monster's words be trusted?"

Heavenly Emperor Guangmu sent a secret transmission.

His tone still carried a hint of caution.

"What if he burns the bridge after crossing it?"

Heavenly Emperor Chiguo took a deep breath.

"We have no choice but to believe."

He responded decisively.

"This is our only chance."

Heavenly Emperor Duowen gritted his teeth.

The experiences of these tens of thousands of years surfaced in his mind.

Tens of thousands of years ago.

They were tainted by darkness.

They betrayed the Ancient Heavenly Court and fell to this place.

They thought they were turning from darkness to light and could obtain supreme status in the Dark Great World.

Instead, they hit walls everywhere.

The local dark experts simply looked down on outsiders like them.

True Immortal Kings viewed them as lackeys to be driven at will.

The Supreme Giant Rongmen of the Sunken Immortal Domain once trampled them underfoot in public.

Calling them "Servants of Two Surnames."

The Supreme Giant Huanxing of the Lightless Immortal Domain viewed them as cannon fodder to be ordered around.

They had no territory of their own.

They had no legacy of their own.

They could only survive in the cracks between the various Immortal Domains.

Suffering endless cold shoulders and humiliation.

They had had enough of such a life!

To have a place in the Dark Great World.

To rule as kings and lords.

The only way was a Breakthrough.

To become a true Immortal King!

"Let's do it!"

Heavenly Emperor Duowen clenched his fists.

He sent a transmission through gritted teeth.

"As long as we can break through to become Immortal Kings, we can wash away the humiliation of these tens of thousands of years!"

"When that time comes, who will dare to order us around!"

Heavenly Emperor Zengzhang also agreed.

"Exactly."

"Fortune favors the bold."

"With the blood phoenix immortal pills and the foundations of the Blood Phoenix Domain, our chances of a Breakthrough are extremely high."

The four quickly deliberated.

And instantly reached an agreement.

Such a Heaven-Defying temptation.

They simply could not refuse.

Nor did they want to.

This was their only hope to turn things around.

The Four Heavenly Emperors stepped forward simultaneously.

They put away all their weapons.

They put away their pride as Quasi-Immortals.

They cupped their fists.

And bowed deeply toward the Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor on the throne.

Their attitude was extremely respectful.

"The Ancient Ancestor's great kindness is something we brothers will never forget!"

Heavenly Emperor Chiguo spoke loudly.

His voice echoed in the hall.

Filled with absolute determination.

"From now on, we are willing to serve the Ancient Ancestor like dogs and horses!"

"We will go through water and fire without hesitation!"

Guangmu, Zengzhang, and Duowen shouted in unison.

"We are willing to serve the Ancient Ancestor like dogs and horses!"

"We will go through water and fire without hesitation!"

Seeing this, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor.

Immediately broke into an extremely brilliant smile.

"Hahahaha!"

He laughed out loud.

He was in a great mood.

His plan had been successfully achieved.

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor stood up.

He strode down the bone steps.

He came before the four of them.

He raised his hands slightly.

An extremely pure and vast force of pure immortality surged from his palms.

This force was gentle yet irresistible.

Without the slightest lethality.

It directly lifted the bowing Four Heavenly Emperors.

The four of them felt this pure immortal aura at close range.

Their blood boiled throughout their bodies.

That was the Realm they had dreamed of.

It was an extreme longing for a higher level of power.

At this moment.

They became even more eager for a Breakthrough.

Wishing they could swallow the Medicinal Pills and enter seclusion right now.

"Brothers, please rise quickly."

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor was all smiles.

He directly changed how he addressed them.

His tone was friendly.

"In the future, we will be brothers."

"Please, do not be so formal."

"Take these blood phoenix immortal pills first."

The four of them excitedly put away the jade boxes.

Thanking him repeatedly.

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor turned around.

And flicked his wide sleeves.

"Guards!"

He ordered loudly.

His voice traveled outside the hall.

"Prepare a banquet!"

"Today, I shall drink three hundred cups with my four brothers!"

"Let's have a grand celebration!"

The guards outside the hall immediately took the order.

Before long.

Countless enchanting and graceful Blood Phoenix Clan maids filed in.

They wore thin crimson gauze dresses.

Holding exquisite jade platters in their hands.

The jade platters were filled with Immortal Wine and fruit rarely seen in ten thousand years.

The rich aroma of wine and fruit instantly filled the entire hall.

On both sides of the hall.

Dozens of musicians played ancient instruments.

In the center of the hall.

A group of scantily clad, beautiful dancers began to dance.

Drums and zithers played in unison within the hall.

Alluring dances swirled.

A scene of extraordinary festive celebration.

This transaction, where each party got what they needed, was thus concluded.
