Chapter 259: 225 Battle of the Celestial King_1
Thus, he asked.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li was instantly taken aback.
Black and White Heavenly King…
A true peerless figure of his generation, actually wished to pay a visit to his master?
His words clearly conveyed utmost respect and admiration for his master!
Long Zixuan and the others also showed complex expressions.
They knew that the realm of their master was immeasurable.
But they had not expected that a legendary figure like the Black and White Heavenly King would bow in respect!
“Fellow senior brothers, what do you think?”
Jiang Li turned his head, looking at Dugu Yuqing and the others.
“In my opinion, since the master has not issued an edict to slay him… it sufficiently shows that the master does not dislike him.”
Lu Rang spoke.
“I think so too, the master knows everything. Perhaps he foresaw this event a long time ago. If he did not arrange anything beforehand, then we should just let things take their course!”
Dugu Yuqing also spoke.
Jiang Li then nodded and said,
“That will be fine!”
The Black and White Heavenly King gave a slight smile, saying, “Many thanks!”
Even as an Immortal Heavenly King, when facing these juniors, he did not put on the slightest air of superiority!
“Hmm? But… we need to wait a moment.”
Having said this, the Black and White Heavenly King suddenly looked towards the heavens.
“There are some lesser beings that need to be dealt with.”
As soon as his words fell,
“Boom!”
The sky exploded!
The sky domain collapsed!
Boundary walls were directly torn open!
A terrifying large hand reached down from above the sky!
This was the hand of an Immortal King!
But, the Black and White Heavenly King simply flicked his finger nonchalantly.
The large hand directly dissipated!
“Who in the Lower World dares to stand against the remnants of the First Heavenly Realm!?”
A loud shout!
In an instant, the sky trembled violently!
There were many places where Immortal Kings’ auras were pouring in!
The Immortal Kings were attempting to cross realms!
“This is too slow, such a waste of time.”
The Black and White Heavenly King seemed impatient as he waved his hand.
In an instant, the entire Void Sea Domain, those terrifying restrictions, boundary walls, and the like, all disappeared without a trace!
He had broken the boundary walls!
At this moment.
In the Immortal Domain.
“Hmm? The boundary walls and restrictions are broken? Just like that?”
King Ming Luo was shocked but then immediately brimming with joy, stepping into the Lower World!
“In the Lower World, why do I sense the presence of powerful beings…?”
Antuo Immortal King was puzzled, but he still plunged into the Lower World!
“This is interesting…”
A figure, shadowy within the sun’s orb, murmured and also slipped into the Lower World!
They entered the Void Sea Domain below.
In an instant, the Void Sea Domain was almost boiling.
Their appearance crushed billions of stars!
“Where are they?”
With a point of his finger, King Ming Luo and the Olympian Immortal King stepped out, and the stars shifted!
…
Before the Third Celestial Realm.
“The people who have come are not much to speak of, but they are involved with the Holy Dao Powers, and the grand scheme of that senior behind you must not be exposed… Let Black and White take care of this karma.”
The Black and White Heavenly King smiled faintly, sweeping a hand.
In an instant, Dugu Yuqing, Long Zixuan, and the others all felt an illusion, as if they were somehow surreptitiously concealed!
Although still there, they were almost akin to being “invisible”!
Literally invisible!
“He… he doesn’t want the people of the Immortal Domain to see us?”
“The implications are too great. If those Immortal Kings saw us, would the master’s existence become known to the Immortal Domain?”
They murmured to themselves!
And at this moment.
A terrifying, vast aura was already appearing from the void!
The first Immortal King, had arrived!
Resembling a great sun, illuminating the sky domain.
Xueming Immortal King!
Xueming Immortal King appeared in the midst, silently staring at the Black and White Heavenly King, his eyebrows furrowed!
Immediately after, the void trembled again.
Another person appeared!
Antuo Immortal King!
He had come, his presence terrifying, overwhelmingly pressing down the sky domain!
“King Ming Luo has also arrived!”
With a loud call, two figures appeared at the same time.
King Ming Luo and the Olympian Immortal King stood side by side!
At the same time, from another direction, yet another Immortal King shrouded in holy light made his appearance.
A total of five great Immortal Kings!
Five Immortal Kings descended to the Lower World!
At that moment, the void was silent.
All living beings were speechless!
This was an unprecedented scene!
Even the Immortal Kings who had attacked the First Heavenly Realm in ancient times had not seen so many Immortal Kings take action!
“It seems that everyone is here.”
At this time, the Black and White Heavenly King spoke lightly.
In an instant, all five Immortal Kings’ gazes were sharply focused on him!
“Hmm… no, that’s not right, you… you are…”
In that moment, Antuo Immortal King was suddenly taken aback!
“The Black and White King?!”
Upon this utterance, all five Immortal Kings were staring intensely at the Black and White Heavenly King!
“It really is… it really is the Black and White King?… Heavens, I should have realized earlier, the resting place of the Black and White King was in that small village in the Heavenly Realm, the disturbances in the First Heavenly Realm must have heralded the emergence of the Black and White King…”
King Ming Luo muttered to himself, and at this moment, his face looked extremely ugly!
“An invincible being born in the wrong era… once suppressed the Immortal Domain for hundreds of thousands of years, unbeatable by anyone, and even the forbidden areas were filled with his footsteps…”
Xueming Immortal King sighed softly, saying, “Fortunate is the meeting today!”
And the Immortal King hidden in the holy light spoke with a chaotic voice:
“The King of Black and White… no, he is not.”
“He is merely a remnant of the King of Black and White left in the river of time!”
Upon hearing this, everyone fell sober and serious.
“Indeed, he is not the true King of Black and White. The blood of the King of Black and White once stained our Celestial Blade. I recognize him!”
At this moment, the Olympian Immortal King stepped forward even further!
“A mere remnant… so it was you who caused the commotion in the First Heavenly Realm?”
At this time, Antuo Immortal King came forward, staring at the Black and White Immortal King, and said:
“Does this mean that your Dao and your chessboard are also hidden in the First Heavenly Realm? Heh, should I be thanking you?”
“You were once the closest to the Saint Path but ultimately fell in the river of time, unable to await the Saint Descent… Today is an excellent opportunity to fulfill my destiny!”
His eyes blazed with fervor!
“Perhaps it was the eternal regret of not witnessing the Saint Descent that made a mere human skin of yours unwilling to perish, wasn’t it?”
At this moment, Xueming Immortal King smiled lightly, “Black and White Immortal King, in my youth, I admired you.”
“But now, I too have become a Celestial King, while you, nothing but a piece of human skin remains!”
His aura slowly unfurled.
A Celestial King!
An Immortal Heavenly King of a bygone era!
In the face of all the kings, the Black and White Heavenly King merely smiled faintly.
He appeared so calm, looking at Xueming Heavenly King, and laughed, saying:
“The Way of Light? Your master must be the Exalted Immortal King. Alas, in former times I was a Celestial Monarch, he was but an Immortal King, defeated by me; this Way is not worth mentioning.”
He then looked towards Antuo and said, “What about you? As a generation’s Celestial King, before which clan’s Stone Command have you kneeled?”
He shook his head and said, “In any case, it’s not one of the Seven Human Tribes.”
His gaze swept across the Immortal King hidden in the holy light, a hint of disdain in his eyes, he declared:
“Like your ancestors, you always hide and show just the tip of your existence – never the full picture!”
Only then did he turn to look at King Ming Luo and the Olympian Immortal King!
“You, who are on the verge of death, obtained the Way of Hongmeng merely by fluke; you have been a waste your entire life. On the day of Saint Descent, you will either be a dog or you’ll die.”
He shook his head at Ming Luo, then looked at the giant-like Olympian Immortal King, laughed, and said:
“Your ancestor, after sneak-attacking me in that battle, surely he turned into a forbidden land? Heh, if not a forbidden land then into the Way… he couldn’t endure.”
He laughed.
“My ancestor once bathed his blade in your blood, shattered your Dao foundation!”
The Olympian Immortal King spoke coldly, “Today, I am a Heavenly King, and you’re reduced to nothing but a piece of human skin – dare you still speak such wild and arrogant words?!”
“Words are pointless. This person might have reached Immortal Dao Perfection in the past. Obtaining his Dao, we will shine brightly during the Saint Descent!”
Xueming Heavenly King stepped forward even closer!
The kings exuded their opressive might!
Three great Heavenly Kings, two great Immortal Kings!
“The former me traversed forbiddance, battled to the utmost; the future me will await the Saint Descent, fight for the Human Race…”
“Even if I stand alone, this single thought persists; in this life, the Black White remains invincible.”
He smiled, then paused briefly before saying, “Below that senior, invincible.”
This statement was not intended for the listening kings.
It was for Dugu Yuqing and the others he kept secret!
“Presumptuous, this life, the fall of the King of Black and White!”
Xueming Heavenly King bellowed, his light shining across the eons!
“To insult me is to court death!”
King Ming Luo roared out the Hongmeng Fist!
“This Celestial Blade shattered your Dao foundation in the past; this life, it will destroy you!”
Olin Heavenly King brandished a Celestial Blade!
Antuo Heavenly King stepped down, the Myriad Realms trembled!
The Immortal King hidden in the holy light sent down streaks of golden light!
All the kings struck out together!
But the Black and White Heavenly King was indifferent and fearless at this moment.
He raised his hand, and a line of black and white suddenly appeared at the feet of the Xueming Heavenly King!
“How can one speak of light without understanding darkness?”
As his words fell,
“Ah—”
The Xueming Heavenly King suddenly let out a great shout; his radiance dissipated entirely, his great sun collapsed and plummeted!
Clothed in a white robe, the Xueming Heavenly King fell through the void, spitting out Immortal King blood, his face filled with terror!
The Black and White Heavenly King, pointing towards the King Ming Luo, said indifferently:
“Life and death, if not comprehended, how can one claim to understand Hongmeng?”
In an instant of black and white interweaving, the King Ming Luo cried out in pain as the forces of life and death erupted from within him!
“Ah—”
He cried out miserably, as if he had fallen into the endless hells, howling in agony.
“Cause and effect, entangled too deeply, how can one speak of freedom?”
The Black and White Heavenly King looked indifferently at the Antuo Heavenly King; in that instant, behind Antuo, a series of his own shadows emerged.
Those were twisted, frenzied echoes of Antuo!
Those were the most secretive inner demons in his heart.
“No—”
At this moment, even a look of terror appeared in the eyes of the Antuo Heavenly King, as he staggered back, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood!
“Body and soul, failing to integrate, how can one speak of strength?”
With a flick of his finger, the Olin Heavenly King, who was brandishing the Celestial Blade, suddenly trembled violently, convulsing on the spot!
His soul convulsed in pain, causing him to drop the Celestial Blade into the void!
“As for you, hiding your head and showing your tail, you are not worth mentioning!”
The Black and White Heavenly King waved his hand, and the line of black and white like two boundary blades fiercely cut down the being hidden in the holy light; in the next instant, the holy light disappeared, revealing an old monk who fell through the air, his body covered in cracks, his eyes filled with utmost horror!
The Black and White Heavenly King stood with his hands behind his back!
In just an instant, he had defeated five kings!
And he seemed as though he had not even lifted a finger!
“…At this moment, I finally believe that the Black and White Heavenly King must have, in an unknown time and space, attained the Path to become an Emperor…”
The old monk’s mouth dripped with Buddha’s blood as he pronounced, word by word:
“You, with just a casual revelation of our imperfections in cultivation, defeated us… You, have achieved Immortal Dao Perfection!”
“In an era without the Saint Path… to actually achieve a flawless Immortal Dao!”
His old eyes were filled with complexity!
His words even more so, carried a significant secret.
The reason the Black and White Immortal King is known as a legend among the Immortal Kings, is because, in an era without the Saint Path, he achieved perfection in Immortal Dao!
Those existences above immortality almost all understand that the Immortal Dao has flaws!
Only when the Source of the Holy Path still exists in this world, can one cultivate a perfect Immortal Dao; only those who reach the pinnacle of Immortal Dao, can take the ultimate leap and step into the realm of the Sacred Dao Domain.
And when the Saint Descent happens, it will bring a great calamity.
When the Source of the Holy Path reappears, the order and rules of this world will be made complete, and those who became immortal, the Immortal Kings, in the age of imperfection, will mostly bear the strike of Heaven’s Will Blade, their realms plummeting!
And legend has it, the Black and White Heavenly King… was the person closest to the Saint Path during the era when the Source of the Holy Path vanished.
It is said that he lived through nine lifetimes, reached the ultimate of Hongmeng, attained the Path of Immortal Certification to become the Immortal Emperor, and has been waiting fervently for the Saint Descent.
He only needs the Saint Descent, he only needs those Holy Dao Powers, carrying the Source of the Holy Path to return, and then he will soar high into the sky, formally stepping into the Sacred Dao Domain.
At that time, he will be invincible.
However, there are also rumors that the Black and White Emperor of Myriad Ages, the unparalleled genius… ultimately did not wait for the Saint Descent.
He left behind an eternal regret!
Now…
The King of Black and White has reappeared.
Even if only as a human skin.
He still possesses an invincible presence in heaven and earth!
