Chapter 1488: Chaotic Battle In The King's Residence (2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Near the Devote King's residence, battles were erupting repeatedly.

Someone tried to enter the courtyard of the residence, but they were smashed apart before they could enter. As a result, a Pseudo Invincible death spirit appeared.

That was all the Death Realm could spawn since all the death sovereigns nearby had left.

Someone shouted, "Don't kill the Pseudo Invincibles in the residence or the Death Realm will shift the death sovereigns of other territories here as well."

When required, the heavenly laws could transfer some death sovereigns elsewhere here as well. There wasn't even a need for those death sovereigns to travel such a large distance here. They only needed to answer the call and they would be brought here directly.

Thus, the Devote King's residence was still a dangerous place. One should avoid killing Pseudo Invincible death spirits when possible. Of course, that did not apply to the death spirits outside the residence. After all, those death spirits were not currently under the restrictions of the heavenly laws.

Thus, the Invincible who had attacked earlier ignored the Pseudo Invincible death spirit and stared on the nine-leaf skylotus with a look of intense longing in his eyes.

Nine-leaf skylotus!

However, nobody dared to approach the skylotus right now. It was simply too dangerous. That was applicable for even Invincibles. A lot of Invincibles were converging around the residence. A major battle would probably erupt here soon.

Before long, the Heaven Department head arrived. He wasted no time and tossed a corpse into the pond. Instantly, the skylotuses absorbed the nutrients provided by the corpse. The ninth skylotus continued swaying about, as though it was going to bloom fully soon.

The Heaven Department head said, "Make it bloom while the immortals are busy and end the battle as early as possible."

This idea was beneficial for everyone here. However, the addition of a Pseudo Invincible corpse had only caused the ninth skylotus to glow slightly brighter than before. It had yet to fully bloom.

After taking a look at the skylotus, the Heaven Department head said, "It will mature in about two hours."

At that, the breathing of those around the residence intensified. Not even Invincibles could stay fully calm anymore. Their desire toward the skylotus was simply too great.

It was simply too hard for one to achieve Daofuse the regular way. The skylotus was a shortcut to complete that process. And nobody could resist the temptation of achieving Daofuse.

Boom!

Far away from the residence, the immortals were still fighting the death spirits.

One of the Invincibles near the residence smiled and said, "This time, the death spirits are targeting the immortals. How did the immortals provoke them?"

They were quite confused as well.

Generally, death spirits would only act in complete disorder. Even back when He Tu was alive, he was unable to lead the death spirits properly. Sure, he was able to lead them somewhat during the initial phases of his invasion. But toward the end, he lost control over the death spirits, forcing the old turtle to take action and kill him.

One could say that the battle between He Tu's death spirits and the myriad races marked the end of the first epoch.

If He Tu could control the death spirits like a disciplined army, he would naturally be able to avoid provoking the heavenly laws during his conquest. Alas, he had overestimated himself and underestimated the inability of death spirits to follow orders.

The various Invincibles continued enjoying the show the immortals and death spirits were putting up.

***

At the same time.

A death spirit said impatiently, "These bugs are so annoying. Why don't we start attacking randomly?"

Xing Yue was feeling quite helpless.

These death sovereigns were too independent. Their desire to kill and destroy was too strong. After trying to kill the immortal kings for an extended time and failing, they were starting to lose patience.

Xing Yue grew anxious. Was she going to lose her leadership so soon?

"Bastard Su Yu, what now?"

Xing Yue did not want to lose her leadership. The death sovereigns were on the verge of running off independently to satisfy their desire to kill and destroy.

Shortly after, Xing Yue received a reply.

After checking the reply, she sent a voice transmission to the death sovereigns, "We must kill the immortals or we won't have the ability to gain control over the entrances to the mansion. The death tunnel opened by He Tu won't stay open for long. We need a way to enter the mansion again in the future."

The death sovereigns were surprised to hear that. How were the immortals related to the entrances?

They looked at He Tu in confusion. He Tu was confused himself. After all, he had no idea how he had entered the mansion in the first place. Thus, he awkwardly said, "I believe Xing Yue knows this better..."

Why were they asking him? He was as clueless as they were. With Xing Yue around, he couldn't even make something up to fool them. Because of this, he felt terrible.

"Sure. We'll kill one. Is that enough, Xing Yue?"

"Barely. We can only transfer one death spirit into the mansion per drop of blood essence. The blood essence we get from one immortal is probably enough for us here. But it will also be better to kill a few more..."

"Sure. Let's do it."

Greatly motivated, the death sovereigns started pursuing the immortal kings with renewed effort while roaring madly.

Both Immortal King Yueshi and Immortal King Xuan He were cursing inwardly.

Fuck!

Had the death spirits gone crazy? Why were the death spirits targeting only them?

"Go to the Devote King's residence and drag the others into the battle as well! That is our only choice!"

The immortal kings decided that this was their sole option if they wanted to salvage this. They started fleeing in the direction of the Devote King's residence. They were most certainly not willing to suffer alone. They would drag everyone down with them.

Boom!

Multiple Rivers of Time appeared in the sky as the immortal kings tried to flee, but all of them were instantly broken by the powerful death sovereigns. The immortal kings were forced to continue fighting the death sovereigns while coughing blood. Eventually, the immortal kings started turning paler and paler. Some of their tri-life bodies were starting to show signs of dispersing.

When they were near the Devote King's residence, both He Tu and Tuofa, who had been holding back so far, roared together. With that, the death sovereigns all attacked a single immortal king at full power.

Once again, a River of Time snapped. With a palm attack, He Tu further injured the immortal king. Then, Tuofa's punch arrived, blasting the immortal king's body apart.

Boom!

One of the immortal kings ahead of them looked back. Even further ahead, Immortal King Xuan He shouted, "Keep going!"

Why was that guy slowing down to look back? At this rate, all of them would die.

"Damn it!"

At the next moment, all the immortal kings rushed into the Devote King's residence. Only one immortal king was left behind. Realizing his impending fate, the immortal king roared with fury and detonated himself.

As the world shook, two Rivers of Time unfurled forward. One headed toward the Devote King's residence. The three bodies of the immortal separated, but one broke down almost immediately.

The second body was blasted apart moments later. The third body was able to dive into the River of Time before reappearing in the Devote King's residence with an unsightly expression.

Just as he was about to go deeper into the residence, a silhouette appeared beside him with a flicker. "Teehee, mine!"

Instantly, over a hundred Lan Tians appeared around him. Then, all the Lan Tians detonated themselves.

Boom!

The explosions pushed the final body of the immortal king to the brink of destruction. Out of nowhere, a jade-white palm shot through his head and sea of willpower before digging a carrier treasure out.

Boom!

Finally, the third body exploded, signaling the complete death of this immortal king.

"Lan Tian!"

The other immortal kings weren't too far away. They all roared furiously.

The remaining Lan Tians flashed them a creepy smile and said, "Are Invincibles really so hard to kill?"

The Invincibles cursed inwardly. Were Invincibles not hard to kill? That immortal king had only died to Lan Tian due to a series of unfortunate circumstances. Why was Lan Tian bragging about this?

Before they could say anything, crimson clouds appeared above them. The crimson clouds spread outside the mansion. They spread throughout the Myriad Realms.

A massive cloud appeared above Lan Tian. Instantly, several Invincibles appeared there. One of them, a devil king, swung his axe down. The cloud was Lan Tian's heavenly reward. That signified that the Lan Tian beneath the cloud was the real body. Since Lan Tian wasn't a death spirit, he would naturally be rewarded for killing an Invincible.

"Why must you do me like this?"

Lan Tian wailed bitterly. They were trying to ruin his heavenly reward! He roared, "Su Yu! What are you doing?"

Instantly, the Invincibles looked behind them. They could ignore any other name. But Su Yu's name could not be ignored.

When they looked back...there was nothing behind them. The devil king ignored the distraction and continued swinging his axe at Lan Tian. He was determined to eliminate Lan Tian. This was someone as threatening as Su Yu.

"I'm so sad."

With a sigh, Lan Tian was cleaved into two. Instantly, all the surrounding Lan Tians faded away, as though Lan Tian had died for real.

But soon, a devil king roared, "He's not dead!"

A true death would produce a phenomenon.

Far away from them, a new Lan Tian appeared. Next, more and more Lan Tian appeared. But these new Lan Tians appeared weaker than the previous Lan Tians. They wailed with resentment, "You killed my main body! It's over! It's over! Ahhh! My strength has dropped!"

"..."

Yes. His strength had dropped. Because one of his main bodies had died. Yes. One of his main bodies.

Meanwhile, the Invincibles were losing their mind. How was he not dead? Why were the heavenly laws rewarding his clone? Damn it! Or was it possible that this lunatic no longer had a main body?

***

Battles were still erupting all over the seventh level.

People were dying everywhere.

Outside.

Crimson clouds covered the sky.

The immortal kings outside had unsightly expressions. The first Invincible to die was an immortal. They were all expecting the deaths of some Invincibles this time. But they still found it hard to accept when the person to die was one of their own.

"Sigh."

Tiangu sighed, as though he had aged significantly suddenly. An immortal king had died. Of the five immortal kings inside the mansion, one was lost. How about the others? As for their Pseudo Invincibles, all four were lost.

Yes. None survived. They were left with only four immortal kings and about two hundred immortals of various cultivation levels in the mansion. The atmosphere among the immortals outside the mansion turned heavy and bleak. Who was the killer?

The immortals were truly unlucky this time. They had lost all their young geniuses and Pseudo Invincibles. Of all the races in the mansion, they were the first to lose all these people. They were also the first to lose an Invincible. They were afraid that they would also be the first to lose all their Invincibles.

That would be a massive deal. Even the powerful immortal race would feel pained from losing five immortal kings. Some of their immortal kings had lost their tri-life bodies recently. If they were to lose more immortal kings on top of that, it would be disastrous.

"Immortal King Zhigu might not be too strong, but in a battle between Eternals, nobody can kill him when there are four other immortal kings around unless the enemy is much stronger."

A different immortal king said, "There aren't that many people capable of killing him inside."

Clearly, they were suspecting the Heaven Department head and Blood Fire Devil King.

Those were the strongest in the mansion. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion and the devils remained silent. Since they were unaware of what was happening inside the mansion, it wouldn't be easy for them to make a judgment.
