380: Dad, how dare you be lazy and idle when the great path has not yet been achieved?
The Immortal King battle quickly ended.
The more frantic Hou Sheng became, the faster Wang Yue eroded his Dao Fruit.
An hour later, Wang Yue completely erased Hou Sheng's will, leaving only an Immortal King shell.
Seeing "Hou Sheng" enveloped in demonic energy, Purple Yang and the other two immediately stopped their divine abilities, their expressions grave as they watched "Hou Sheng."
The speed of consumption was even faster than last time—it was terrifying!
The three couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. Hou Sheng was a Devil Dao Immortal King, who had cultivated for tens of millions of years, possessing extraordinary divine abilities.
Even with all three of them using their full power, they could only suppress Hou Sheng, inflicting some minor, non-critical injuries.
Even someone as strong as Hou Sheng couldn't resist the erosion of the Limitless Devil.
If the target were them, would they also be as powerless as Hou Sheng?
At this thought, the three became even more determined to obtain Gu Qing's fortuitous encounter.
The sudden appearance of the Limitless Devil made them realize that the so-called Immortal Realm overlords, eternal giants, transcendent beings... all of it was fleeting.
Perhaps one day they would be targeted by a stronger Immortal King, their Dao Fruit stolen, their hundreds of millions of years of painstaking cultivation becoming a stepping stone for someone else.
"Please make way. I need to return and refine the Dao Fruit that Fellow Daoist Hou Sheng sent."
Hou Sheng spoke softly.
"Good!"
"Safe travels, Fellow Devil!"
The three nodded with smiles, retracting their killing intent. Their attitude was so cordial, as if they were facing an old friend of many years.
It was as if someone else had exerted their full power just moments ago.
There was nothing they could do. Although they desperately wanted to eliminate the Limitless Devil and remove the divine sword hanging over their heads, they knew their own limitations.
They were also more afraid of being targeted by the Limitless Devil.
"Fellow Daoist is too kind!"
Wang Yue nodded, then gracefully departed, strolling through the starry sky, and soon vanished without a trace.
When she reappeared, Wang Yue took small, delicate steps, walking weakly to the entrance of the Boundless Heavenly Palace.
Her expression was sorrowful: "The Sect Master is too much of a bully. He openly gives me a fortuitous encounter, but in reality, he's making me guard the gate."
Thinking about how she was abused and whipped, yet received no proper title, and still had to guard Gu Qing's sect, protecting the main gate...
Wang Yue's expression grew even more sorrowful.
"Alas, the Peak Master is acting crazy again!" The female disciples, seeing this, felt immense worry.
When would their crazy Peak Master ever act normal?
Oh, wait, that's not right. They had already split off... "Yue Hua, what is the meaning of this?"
After seeing off the Limitless Devil, the three collectively breathed a sigh of relief, but still maintained their vigilance, with their auras fully open, to prevent a sneak attack from the Limitless Devil.
Purple Yang looked at Yue Hua and asked with a gentle smile.
Yue Hua had suddenly appeared and also prevented the divine abilities from spreading to the Primordial Star Domain.
Was she going to side with the Boundless Divine Sect?
"Different Daos, different paths; we do not conspire together, but each follow our own aspirations!"
Yue Hua's beauty was peerless, pure and ethereal, like a fairy from the Guanghan Palace untouched by worldly affairs.
Her figure was tall and graceful, exuding an aura of coldness that kept others at bay.
When she frowned in disapproval, a sharp sword intent emanated from within her, like a peerless Sword Immortal.
"Have you thought this through?"
Purple Yang frowned, looked at her, then at Xi Ling, his eyes flickering.
They didn't know if their conversation just now had been overheard by Immortal King He Guang.
Probably not, right?
They formed their own domain; not everyone was like the Limitless Devil, formless and intangible, transforming into all things, achieving great freedom.
"Naturally!"
Yue Hua nodded.
"Why? Do you think so highly of him?"
Lin Chongren asked.
As far as he knew, Yue Hua, though seemingly an ethereal fairy, was not a good person in reality.
She had committed many acts of exterminating clans and Dao lineages, her life filled with countless killings.
Gu Qing possessed an Immortal Emperor's fortuitous encounter, and obtaining it might even allow one to surpass an Immortal Emperor. How could Yue Hua willingly give up such an astonishing fortune?
Could it be... The three simultaneously glanced at Yue Hua's gender and suddenly understood.
Female cultivators had a natural advantage over male cultivators in certain matters.
Yue Hua was likely contemplating marrying Gu Qing and seizing the fortune on his person.
"If I remember correctly, the current Dao Child seems to have a marriage engagement with the Saintess of the Boundless Divine Sect. Perhaps we can use this to plan something," Lin Chongren mused.
"Yue'er, why humble yourself to that young brat? Standing by is the wisest course of action, and you will have a share of the fortuitous encounter," Immortal King Nine Yang said in a deep voice.
"We are from the same lineage, cultivating the Star Great Dao together. My feelings for you are witnessed by heaven and earth," Immortal King Purple Yang added.
The two of them, and the Star Dao Sect Immortal King who had already fallen, all wanted to become Dao Companions with Yue Hua to jointly comprehend the Star Great Dao and the Yin-Yang Chaotic Great Dao.
Their meaning was clear: let Yue Hua stand aside. Once they seized the fortune from Gu Qing, they would share a portion with Yue Hua, on the condition that she become their Dao Companion.
Or cooperate with them to jointly conspire against the Boundless Divine Sect.
Their calculations were so obvious. Xi Ling couldn't help but mock, "A bunch of old farts, you are not worthy. Besides, even if you were given supreme inheritances, would you even understand them?"
Purple Yang and Nine Yang had lived countless years, with innumerable wives and concubines, and countless descendants.
The key was that their potential was exhausted; their lives would simply remain as they were.
Yet, they dared to covet Yue Hua, which was simply a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
Furthermore, the Purple Micro Dao Sect and the Sun Dao Sect had taken a portion of the Star Dao Sect's legacy; who knows how many Dao scriptures were copied.
The two of them certainly didn't lack inheritances.
Moreover, the two primarily cultivated the Star Great Dao, and they hadn't even fully comprehended the Star Great Dao, yet they foolishly wished to comprehend even more profound Daos, hoping to reach heaven in a single step.
It was simply foolish and wishful thinking.
"Say less." Yue Hua pulled the person behind her.
Although Xi Ling had Immortal King parents, she was ultimately not an Immortal King.
Angering an Immortal King would lead to endless troubles.
She coldly swept her gaze over the two, her expression blank, her heart completely calm.
"Fellow Daoist He Guang, control your daughter."
Immortal King Purple Yang said indifferently.
"My apologies, my little girl is naturally straightforward, and has often offended. Please forgive her," Immortal King He Guang said, cupping his hands.
Xi Ling rolled her eyes, increasingly feeling that her old father had wasted his cultivation.
"Yue'er, I hope you think twice before acting."
Immortal King Purple Yang looked deeply at Yue Hua, his figure fading and disappearing from where he stood.
Immortal King Nine Yang and Lin Chongren also left.
They were all cunning Immortal Kings, so there was no need for more words.
Yue Hua would make the choice most beneficial to herself.
"Wishful thinking." A hint of disdain flashed in Yue Hua's eyes.
She had indeed made the most beneficial choice for herself early on.
Since she began her journey, her path had been full of thorns and hardships. She had committed countless killings in her life, stepping on countless blood and bones to attain the Dao of an Immortal King.
Yue Hua knew very well that since Gu Qing and Jiang Yu dared to expose themselves and occupy the Star Dao Sect, they were not afraid of being plundered.
These people were destined to be like moths flying into a flame; their hundreds of millions of years of painstaking cultivation would ultimately be in vain.
Besides, she liked the young and strong Gu Qing.
Yue Hua had been secretly observing Gu Qing.
His peerlessly handsome face, vigorous and abundant vitality, full of youthful spirit, and an air of soaring brilliance about him...
He had completely captivated her heart, more perfect than the Dao Companion she had imagined.
Every time she thought of him, it made her intoxicated and sleepless. She desperately wanted to hide him, claim him for herself, and dote on him every day.
"Sister, we've agreed, okay? You immediately send a message to your disciples to conquer the Purple Micro Dao Sect," Xi Ling said, her eyes twinkling, pulling on her arm.
"Alright!" Yue Hua smiled brightly, raised her hand to tear space, and stepped in.
"Dad, come with me."
Xi Ling led her old father back to the Purple Bamboo Forest and asked with a beaming smile, "Old man, what do you think of Hou Sheng?"
Immortal King He Guang was startled and answered truthfully, "He is a powerful Immortal King in the mid-stage."
Hou Sheng had attained the Dao of an Immortal King tens of millions of years before him, possessing extraordinary divine abilities.
However, he was still within his range of handling.
"What about the Limitless Devil?" Xi Ling continued to ask.
Immortal King He Guang's expression suddenly became solemn.
The Limitless Devil was simply a great menace, unfathomably strange and immeasurably powerful.
He had no confidence at all against the Limitless Devil.
Xi Ling's red lips curved into a playful smile: "Old man, do you know that the Limitless Devil is merely a branch of Devil Emperor Yan Hongluo's Great Dao?"
"There are countless inheritances more profound and powerful than Yan Hongluo, and beings more terrifying than the Limitless Devil, throughout the vast universe."
"Old man, your Time Dao Fruit is quite tempting, you know. What if one day you're targeted by a great terror? Do you still think you can live forever in Free and Easy?"
Upon hearing this, Immortal King He Guang's heart pounded. An uncontrollable panic surged within him, and his face turned slightly pale.
Xi Ling's words instantly enlightened him, making him recognize reality.
What does it mean that there are always people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens, and stronger hands among the strong?
Even Immortal Emperors could fall.
Let alone Immortal Kings?
"Old man, your Great Dao is not yet complete, how can you be lazy and negligent? Are you worthy of me and Mom?"
