168: Chapter 167 is just background information; everyone has that, right?

"Is it a single individual who suddenly had an Epiphany, or are two people advancing side by side, attempting to jointly seize our positions?"

"Hard to say, either is possible."

The faces of the two top powerhouses from the Endless Immortal Domain were grim at this moment.

"Let's trace the Karma, investigate this thoroughly, and then make plans."

"That's all we can do for now."

...

Meanwhile,

In the Forbidden Ground of Tangyu Imperial City, Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.

Within a resplendent and extravagantly luxurious palace, the sounds of singing and laughter continuously drifted out, the scent of decadence permeating the surroundings.

Suddenly, amidst the throng of several dozen beauties, a middle-aged man frowned.

His name was Left Silkworm, an Old Ancestor Immortal Venerable of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, and also the true body of the current emperor of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.

The Second Prince, who was killed by Xu Jinhuan, was his son and also one of his meticulously prepared Materials. Once matured and harvested, it could have helped him achieve a Breakthrough to the Second Level of the Immortal Venerable Realm.

No wonder he was so enraged by the Second Prince's death that he directly dispatched his Shadow for revenge.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Shadow's message wasn't the resounding victory he had anticipated.

Instead, it was a final testament.

"Hmm? The Shadow actually met with trouble!"

*Boom!*

With a dull thud, flesh and blood flew within the palace. The beauties who moments ago were singing and dancing lightly instantly turned into mangled flesh and mud, their deaths gruesome.

Left Silkworm snorted coldly, showing no remorse, as if he had merely casually crushed a few insignificant ants.

"Could it be that this Lower Realm ant has backing in the Immortal Domain?" he exclaimed, as if suddenly enlightened.

"No wonder he dared to provoke my Great Yu Immortal Dynasty; he has someone supporting him!"

"However, do you think I have no one behind me either? Background? Who doesn't have one?!"

Left Silkworm straightened his Dragon Robe. A flash of light in his hand, and a Jade Pendant appeared instantly.

"Your Highness, someone is obstructing your plan. The opponent is suspected to be an Immortal Venerable-level expert. I implore you to take action and suppress them!"

The transmission ripple rapidly expanded, speeding toward the center of the Endless Immortal Domain.

Left Silkworm finally felt at ease. Looking in the direction of the Shadow's death, a sinister smile appeared on his still-handsome face.

"Heh, how dare you kill my carefully cultivated Materials, severing my Dao path? You must die!"

Yet, the next moment,

An unfamiliar voice sounded by his ear.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Instantly, his hair stood on end!

A chill shot up his spine to the crown of his head, his brain almost scared out of his skull!

Left Silkworm hastily retreated, crossing over a dozen light-years in an instant, directly fleeing beyond the dominion of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.

"Phew, I should be safe now."

He sighed in relief, looking back with a grave expression.

"What kind of monster was that just now? How could it approach me so silently without me detecting even the slightest disturbance?"

"A Peak Immortal Venerable? Or perhaps a Supreme Immortal King?"

Whichever it was, it was beyond his ability to handle.

Gripping the specially-made Jade Pendant in his hand, Left Silkworm took a deep breath. The Immortal Dao power within him surged rapidly as he prepared to continue his escape.

The only plan now was to evade and wait to see how the situation developed.

But the next moment, his movements froze.

Because an unfamiliar hand had landed on his shoulder, instantly dispersing all his Immortal Dao power and firmly imprisoning him in place.

Unable to move an inch!

Terrifying!

Utterly terrifying!

In that instant, countless beads of cold sweat broke out on Left Silkworm's forehead, streaming down in rivulets. His ochre-yellow Dragon Robe was soaked through in the blink of an eye, even acquiring the stench of urine.

This Immortal Venerable expert, who had attained the Dao for hundreds of thousands of years, finally recalled the fear he felt as a Mortal facing an ultimate powerhouse.

"You can't kill me! I am an attendant of the Heir of the Immortal Prince! You cannot kill me!"

Left Silkworm pleaded incoherently, turning his head and kowtowing repeatedly.

At this moment, he didn't even have the courage to lift his head and see the other party's face.

This state of his made the person behind him find it utterly boring.

To brag incompletely is to not brag at all!

He spoke faintly, his tone calm yet carrying an unyielding resolve: "Lift your head and look at me."

The words seemed to possess magic. Left Silkworm's head rose uncontrollably.

The next moment, the eyes of this middle-aged emperor were filled with extreme terror.

"It's actually you?! How is that possible?!"

"How could a Lower Realm bumpkin like you become stronger than me in such a short time?!"

Xu Jinhuan looked at the other's near-maddened display and nodded in satisfaction.

"Hmm, that's more like it. A frog at the bottom of a well should act like a frog at the bottom of a well!"

Having said that, two Supreme Dao powers spread from his body. Reincarnation and Fate intertwined endlessly, countless worlds continuously birthed and destroyed, like illusions.

This was also his greatest confidence against Left Silkworm. These two terrifyingly formidable Daos boosted his combat power by more than a full Realm.

Now, he could easily crush an Immortal Venerable of the first level!

Sensing the power of the two Supreme Daos, Left Silkworm's eyes turned a frightening crimson red.

Envy, jealousy, hatred!

"This is... an Immortal King Great Dao?! Monster, you are a monster!!!"

The Immortal King Great Dao, the end of the Dao path, was something every Cultivator in the Endless Immortal Domain dreamed of.

However, the end of the Dao path was extremely difficult to comprehend. Over the countless years of accumulation in the Endless Immortal Domain, to this day there were only about twenty or thirty Immortal King giants.

Left Silkworm had attached himself to the Heir of the Immortal Prince precisely because he wanted a shortcut to comprehend an Immortal King Great Dao.

Unfortunately, despite serving the Heir for hundreds of thousands of years and committing countless evil and dirty deeds, he could not achieve his wish.

Who would have thought that a freshly Ascended Lower Realm bumpkin could possess such terrifying foundations?

With the appearance of the Immortal King Great Dao, Left Silkworm's heart sank to the very bottom, knowing the other's determination to eradicate him.

Today, he was undoubtedly doomed!

Yet, just before death, he erupted into maniacal laughter.

"Hahaha! Brat, your talent is terrifying, but you've already incurred a death sentence!"

"At the end of these two Daos, there are already blockers. They will absolutely not let you go. You'll be joining me very soon!"

"Hahaha! I'll be waiting for you in the deepest pits of Hell!"

*Pop!~*

The Daos of Fate and Reincarnation crushed down, instantly grinding the Old Ancestor of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty to pieces, like a shattering egg.

Innumerable fragments of flesh and bone flew about, a horrifying sight.

The next instant, they were swept up by a force, pulled back, and refined in the blink of an eye.

Becoming a mass of pure Origin in Xu Jinhuan's hand.

"Noisy."

Xu Jinhuan spoke faintly, waving his hand to disperse the residual sound waves around him.

He absorbed the Origin into his body, to be refined at a later time.

As if sensing Left Silkworm's demise, the Jade Pendant he used to contact his superior suddenly shattered.

From the fragments, a wisp of green smoke slowly emerged, forming a human shape that coldly stared at Xu Jinhuan.

"How dare you kill my dog? You have some nerve!"

*Rumble!*

A terrifying pressure suddenly spread, as if from an Immortal King!

Faced with such a display, Xu Jinhuan didn't even raise an eyebrow, speaking calmly:

"Not as daring as you. A mere fifth-level Immortal Venerable, yet you dare impersonate the son of an Immortal King."

Abruptly, complete silence fell.
