Chapter 1782: Chapter 1472: I Am No Match for the King, So I Shall Withdraw
At this moment, Guihai Immortal Monarch’s face was extremely unsightly. He had painstakingly persuaded Blood Eagle Hall to continue attacking Mysterious Moon Palace, and it seemed they were about to capture the entire Mysterious Moon Palace, planning to publicly announce its crimes and make an example out of it, but in the final moment, Mysterious Moon Palace managed to escape.
How would he explain this to Qingyun Immortal King and the Immortal Venerate behind Qingyun Immortal King?
While Guihai Immortal Monarch was at a loss, pondering how to report the happenings at Mysterious Moon Palace to Qingyun Immortal King, suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky.
Guihai Immortal Monarch immediately regained his senses, his gaze landed on Lu Chen who was releasing the pressure. Upon seeing him, Guihai Immortal Monarch’s eyes immediately lit up.
How could he have forgotten Lu Chen? Despite not being able to destroy Mysterious Moon Palace, most of its territories were conquered, which served as a lesson to Mysterious Moon Palace and a warning to those disobedient Immortal Sects. If he could capture Lu Chen alive, wouldn’t that suffice as an explanation?
Now it’s up to these few Immortal Kings to see if they can capture Lu Chen.
With this thought, Guihai Immortal Monarch’s gaze was fixated on Lu Chen in the distant sky, he believed that the three Evil Immortal Kings, coupled with the four Righteous Immortal Kings, should be able to capture Lu Chen.
At that moment, one of the Immortal Kings attacking Lu Chen suddenly froze in midair, incredulously asking, “You… You are Chen King???”
Lu Chen, seeing someone from Tianxia Immortal Dynasty recognized him, no longer concealed his identity. After all, he didn’t plan to keep this body; for him now, it was quite easy to create a body of Heavenly Immortal level.
He planned to fake his death to escape, so even if recognized, it didn’t matter.
He glanced at the old man who spoke to him, dressed in white, with graying hair and faint death qi surrounding him, indicating he was near the end of his lifespan, having only a few days left, probably falling within tens of thousands of years.
Lu Chen recalled quickly and recognized the old man, but when he left Tianxia Immortal Dynasty over a billion years ago, this man looked very young, with black hair, appearing no older than middle-aged.
He said, “Unexpectedly, only a few billion years passed, and Xuanjian Immortal King is already this old.”
Xuanjian Immortal King replied, “Time spares no one. My talents are limited, unable to take that step, only waiting for the end of days.”
Hearing their conversation, the other two Immortal Kings of Tianxia Immortal Dynasty were startled mid-air, confirming that he truly was Chen King?
He’s actually still alive!
Wouldn’t he be most qualified now to become the Immortal Emperor of Tianxia Immortal Dynasty?
After all, he possessed Immortal King’s strength; if he could acquire the dynasty’s qi fortune and coupled with Lu Chen’s talent, he might directly breakthrough to Immortal Venerate Realm, elevating Tianxia Immortal Dynasty’s status in the Southern Domain.
Moreover, Lu Chen had been able to fight several Immortal Venerates simultaneously without being disadvantaged back when he was just an Immortal King. As they contemplated, they suddenly remembered Lu Chen had offended Heavenly Splendor Hall; Heavenly Splendor Hall would never let him live.
At this point, Xuanjian Immortal King asked, “Does Chen King wish to surrender to Heavenly Splendor Hall? If willing, they might consider sparing the King’s life.”
“The current Tianxia Immortal Dynasty needs the King. Please consider the old man’s proposal for the dynasty’s sake.”
Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled faintly and asked, “You mean for me to surrender?”
Xuanjian Immortal King said, “I know you are the most talented Heavenly Pride in Tianyan Immortal Domain history, but now your wings are not yet fully grown; it’s time to endure when necessary.”
Lu Chen naturally understood Xuanjian Immortal King’s intentions. He said calmly, “I know what you’re thinking, but unfortunately, Heavenly Splendor Hall won’t let me off, and my enmity with them has long reached a point of no return.”
Years ago, Heavenly Splendor Hall led numerous forces to attack him, forcing him into Chaotic Sea, where he and his wives barely survived.
He couldn’t leave that vengeance unfulfilled. Asking him to surrender to Heavenly Splendor Hall was absolutely impossible.
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, the three Immortal Kings of Tianxia Immortal Dynasty became extremely solemn. At this moment, their hearts were conflicted. As Immortal Kings of Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, their fate was deeply tied with the dynasty’s qi fortune. Whether out of public or private interest, they wished Lu Chen could return and be the dynasty’s master.
If Lu Chen became the Immortal Emperor, Tianxia Immortal Dynasty’s qi fortune would probably be elevated through his influence, and they wondered if his presence at Mysterious Moon Palace was related to its sudden rise in qi fortune.
Should Lu Chen enhance the dynasty’s qi fortune, under its profound boost, they might even achieve breakthroughs.
But they understood, if Lu Chen indeed had an irreconcilable conflict with Heavenly Splendor Hall, even if they wished him to stay, he wouldn’t agree.
After all, Heavenly Splendor Hall remains the strongest Immortal Sect in the Southern Domain, commanding all forces there, and Tianxia Immortal Dynasty couldn’t relocate, unless Heavenly Splendor Hall ceased to exist. Only then perhaps Lu Chen might return.
Seeing the three Immortal Kings hesitate, Chiyan Immortal King’s brows furrowed, appearing displeased. If they didn’t act, he feared facing Lu Chen alone.
At this moment, Lu Chen said, “As my days are numbered, I won’t trouble you. In the final moments of my life, I’ll eliminate Blood Eagle Hall as a threat to Tianxia Immortal Dynasty.”
“In consideration of you righteous immortalists, I won’t act against you. Leave this place immediately!”
As he spoke, Lu Chen instantly released the Power of Slaughter.
Feeling the intense Power of Slaughter from Lu Chen, Xuanjian Immortal King and others were stunned.
Power of Slaughter?
Isn’t Chen King’s path not of slaughter?
Why can he use Power of Slaughter?
Could it be due to him rebuilding his cultivation?
At this point, Xuanjian Immortal King suddenly said, “I am not the King’s match and shall withdraw.”
Upon his words, Xuanjian Immortal King turned and left without any hesitation.
Seeing Xuanjian Immortal King leaving, the remaining two Immortal Kings of Tianxia Immortal Dynasty glanced at each other and made the same choice to depart.
On one hand, Lu Chen’s aura was frighteningly strong, and on the other, he already mentioned his end is near, clearly implying he intends to fight desperately, advising those wishing to survive to flee.
Observing the three Immortal Kings of Tianxia Immortal Dynasty fleeing, Chiyan Immortal King felt extremely embarrassed and soon left.
Honestly, he feared Guihai Immortal Monarch reporting this to Heavenly Splendor Hall, but prioritizing his own life, he chose to escape.
Having given the final ultimatum, should he remain, he feared losing the chance to escape.
Upon seeing Xuanjian Immortal King returning, Lu Jing and Guihai Immortal Monarch were furious.
Lu Jing immediately shouted, “Xuanjian Immortal King! What is your meaning? Are you letting this criminal escape!”
