Chapter 990: Establishing the Heavenly Court (1/2)

The Skyturning Seal!

The Venerated Sacrosanct Demon Sovereign!

The Venerated Sacrosanct Demon Sovereign had completely broken free of his Hadal Bonefire body, and even the flame itself had been returned to the blood demon at Lu Yun’s discretion. The demon sovereign had undergone such drastic changes that it was as if he’d been reborn. He possessed his own great opportunity now—the Skyturning Seal.

As one of the weapons refined by the three founders of immortal dao, there would be no dispute in hailing the Skyturning Seal as the foremost weapon beneath immortal dao. After refining it, the Venerated Sacrosanct Demon Sovereign immediately integrated the immortal dao within the treasure into himself and was imbued by the immortal dao to become the first immortal king in history.

Now the Venerated Sacrosanct Immortal King, he shot out of the void and smashed the Skyturning Seal into the ghost ancestor with the force of a thunderbolt.

Lacking a physical body, the ghost ancestor somehow seemed tangible beneath the seal. The violent blow threw the ghost ancestor to the ground. Snarling with fury, the ghost ancestor clambered up and hurtled at the heavenly palace again!

With the heavenly palace sealing off Witherdew Major, it seemed even the ghost ancestor couldn’t break out of this suppression. According to legend, the heavenly palace was the ultimate treasure of the first realm to appear in the chaos. It’d once conquered the chaos and even the sacred race had had to bow down to it.

Here it was again, in the realm of the world of immortals. The ghost ancestor wanted to bring word of this development at all costs, or even trade its life for the destruction of the heavenly palace!

The Skyturning Seal smashed into it again and again, but the ghost ancestor doggedly climbed back up no matter how many times it was slammed into the ground. There was only one target in its eyes!

As an immortal king of the heavenly palace, the Venerated Sacrosanct Immortal King outranked even the four heavenly kings. Sol Truefire blazed over him while he directed the Skyturning Seal and the immortal dao shadowed his moves, instilling him with power. He was now peak grand pure realm, on par with the human kings of the Primeval Era.

In the primordial world of immortals, the Venerated Sacrosanct Demon Sovereign had set himself at odds with the immortal emperor. Out of an appreciation for talent, the immortal emperor purposefully cracked his dao heart so the demon sovereign would die from an inability to form his true spirit.

That way, he evaded the cataclysm a hundred thousand years ago and the experts of the Green Firmament were able to find him to recruit him. However, the demon sovereign fought his way back out of the firmament, becoming the first genius to ever revolt against the faction.

Most importantly now was that he’d received the Skyturning Seal’s approval and become its new owner. Bolstered by the treasure, the demon sovereign made progress with tremendous strides and reached peak grand pure realm in the blink of an eye.

His cultivation continued to race forward after the establishment of the heavenly palace, transforming him from demon sovereign to immortal king, placing him as the first immortal king of the heavenly palace. This put him on par with the ten Yama Kings of hell and superior to the newly submitted heavenly kings. The heavenly kings were the kings of the heavenly palace, but an immortal king was the king of the immortal dao.

Though he was only peak grand pure realm at the moment, he absolutely had the right to face the ghost ancestor with his support from the immortal dao! The ghost ancestor’s exact cultivation level was unknown, but it possessed the battle strength of a chaos realm master.

Currently, heavenly kings from the Green, Purple, and Crimson Firmaments, Xuanyuan Xiaoyue, the demon god, and Qi Hai were all on the field. Surrounded by experts on all fronts and overshadowed by the heavenly palace, the ghost ancestor couldn’t bring its abilities to bear no matter how strong it was.

The Skyturning Seal howled through the air as the Xuanyuan Sword exploded with brilliant rays of sword light. Though this meant the three weapons of primitive dao lost the sword’s sheen, they were still great treasures of the world.

Wham!

A black Embittered Ocean Orb descended from the skies and crashed into the ghost ancestor’s face.
