Chapter 841: Refuse To Eat (1/2)
In the end, the war between the Nine Regions and the Immortal World was a war for time.
If the Immortal World came to the Nine Regions several hundred years later, Wang Lu could integrate all the forces in Nine Regions and nip the invasion of the Immortal World in the bud. Of course, if the Immortal World couldn’t open the passage between the two realms within a few hundred years, it would’ve kept on declining.
In this war for time, the Immortal World took advantage of its great strength to laugh at the end. Finally, the two-world passage was opened ahead of time. Wang Lu’s many plans for the Nine Regions came to an abrupt end and had to respond to the war hastily. At the beginning of the war, although the Immortals were cautious, the Nine Regions were still in a strained circumstance. Even he himself was trapped in the two-world passageway by Yanluo’s scheme. It could be said that he was defeated miserably.
After that, the Immortal World came down hard on the Nine Regions. As a result, the Nine Regions were pushed back steadily. At this time, whether or not Wang Lu could return to the Nine Regions from the two-world passageway in time was a crucial point in the war. And on this point, the faintly discernible adversarial act from Senior Immortal Xiaoyao caused the Immortal World to lose a move, and Wang Lu finally managed to return to the Nine Regions at the last moment.
After that, the abnormal behavior of Senior Immortal Xiaoyao was exposed, and the Immortal King personally came, disregarding the wear and tear on his life span. Thus, the Nine Regions immediately faced a difficult test. Whether Wang Lu could use the last resort that had been previously laid down before the Immortal King destroyed everything became the key to victory.
This time, relying on Wang Wu’s three thousand golden cores, which was an impossibility, the Nine Regions still had one stronghold. Although most of the reason why it could still survive was because of the cooperation from Senior Immortal Xiaoyao, and though because of this Wang Wu was severely injured, Wang Lu used this precious time to sacrifice hundreds of millions of living creatures. He then used the burning blood great array to ignite the anger of the Nine Regions.
And now, the resultant flame was about to sweep everything.
With Wang Lu’s own sacrifice, the glorious Non-Phase Celestial Cannon directly fired at the Immortal King. In an instant, the ninth sky turned into a sea of light, and the Immortal King and everything around him were swallowed in.
“It’s done!”
On the Spirit Sword Mountain, the cultivators who witnessed this scene could not help but cheer.
Although they didn’t know the principle of the Burning Blood Great Array of Nine Regions, and they couldn’t measure the power of the Non-Phase Celestial Cannon… But, after the ray of light lit up the sky, the dense and twisted vortices appeared in the ninth sky, and people could see the void in those stretched vortices. Thus, anyone could realize that no one could survive that attack.
The fury of the Nine Regions erupted, and it literally tore through the crystal wall of space that enveloped the continent and directly penetrated into the endless void. The place where the Immortal King once stood was now covered with countless void vortices.
However, when people’s surprise had yet to brew, they heard a cold snort.
The Immortal King’s voice rang out from the void and resounded throughout the Nine Regions, “What a cunning bastard. You’re actually hiding here.”
The next moment, people seemed to see a lightning bolt lit up in the distant sky and pierced the sky, revealing an ugly scar. The Immortal King Xia Yu held the upper and lower end of the scar with one hand, which made the scar unable to heal by itself. In his other hand was a person.
“The ones returned to the Nine Regions are only your clones, while the real you is always hiding in the precarious two-world passageway. Bastard, you’re really good at hiding.”
At this time, Xia Yu had already lost the divine light of the Immortal King, and now, his true face was shown. Compared with the balding old man that Wang Lu had seen before, Xia Yu appeared to be much younger. His thick and dashing eyebrows appeared again, and his hair was now as black as ink. He looked like a suave young man and his facial appearance was similar to that of Senior Immortal Xiaoyao. However, at the same time, he was also in a sorry state. More than half of the luxurious clothes that contained countless magical abilities were burned. The immaculate immortal body was badly mangled, showing spots where they were burnt and charred. And his elegant and refined appearance was completely destroyed.
After he experienced the full blast attack of the Non-Phase Celestial Cannon, the Immortal King was finally injured. However, the trauma actually stimulated his strength, allowing him to regain his youth for a short time.
How terrifying was the Immortal King in his youth?
He ruled the world of Immortals and campaigned against other realms. One after another, the other worlds were defeated and cleared by him. Even the powerful and infamous Burning Legion was permanently frozen by him. Whether it was in wisdom or strength, Xia Yu was considered to be the head of the ten thousand worlds. Even Emperor Qin and Ancestor Desheng who had made great achievements in the Nine Regions had to bow down to Xia Yu after they ascended to the Immortal World. The King of the Immortal World, the King of Ten Thousand Worlds, this was Xia Yun at his peak.
Even if it was only for a short time, he could use his supreme magical power to avoid the inevitable blast from the Non-Phase Celestial Cannon and, at the same time, broke the puzzle that Wang Lu deliberately set. Xia Yu penetrated the endless void and found out his real body in the two-world passageway.
“Unfortunately, the game time is over.”
Xia Yu held Wang Lu in his hand, and his voice was slightly regretful.
This young man was a rare talent in his long life.
First of all, he carried the Void Spirit Root—yhis was the supreme gift of the Nine Regions to the Immortal Path. Since the Wilderness Age, the number of people with Void Spirit Root was no more than three digits, and they were all almighty and world-shaking. Even Xia Yu himself was the owner of Void Spirit Root. In a sense, Wang Lu was like his inheritor.
In addition, Wang Lu was one of the few formidable enemies who could pose a real threat to Xia Yu since he became the Immortal King. Just now, when he was hit by the Non-Phase Celestial Cannon, he could instantly see his fall. Before that, even in the face of the Burning Legion and the Ironmen Legion, the Immortal King had always dealt them with ease.
Unexpectedly, after he experienced one hundred thousand years of the vicissitude of life, he was nearly capsized in the decaying Nine Regions.
When he thought of this, Xia Yu suddenly couldn’t bear to kill him.
