Previously on Parasite Breeding Longveity Path: Starting from breeding the love Obsession parasite...
The might of the Eternal Night Daoist Lord dwarfs that of any Immortal King, much like the sun towering over mere specks of dust.
Prior to ascending to Dao Lord status himself, he had zero intention of launching an assault on the Palace of Eternal Night.
Nevertheless, wiping out these underlings of the Eternal Night Daoist Lord would still count as a triumphant feat.
No alliance of ancient civilizations throughout history has ever claimed such a monumental achievement.
It's hailed as the inaugural event in the annals of the Immortal World.
“Once we claim victory in this clash, the influence of the Immortal Path civilization will keep growing without bounds.”
“The blaze of hope's strength will surge by leaps and bounds as well.”
“In that case, we'll seize back the lands corrupted by Eternal Night's influence and revive the Immortal World's past splendor.”
“Then, we can pass it on to fellow Immortal Kings.”
“Right now, my top priority remains cultivation, grasping the vast array of Heaven and Earth Laws, and stepping into Dao Lord territory.”
A spark of determination gleamed in Zhou Sui’s gaze. He had mapped out a string of strategies already.
Whoosh!
With that in mind, his form blurred in a flash, and within moments, he vanished from the spot, fading out of sight for all onlookers.
A stunned cluster of disbelieving Immortal Kings remained in his wake.
In particular, the concealed Primordial Immortal Kings, witnessing this spectacle, stood frozen in utter astonishment, words failing to capture their sheer awe.
What unfolded defied all expectations, proving far too astonishing to fathom.
They were clueless about the method behind it.
“Impossible, is this actually happening or just a trick?”
“Am I hallucinating or something?”
“In a mere instant, the Xuan Huang Immortal King eradicated all those Dark Clan Immortal Kings?”
The Primordial Immortal Kings gulped in disbelief, struck deeply by the shock.
They exchanged glances, mirroring the shock reflected in one another's stares.
Truth be told, they had viewed this confrontation as a doomed end for the Xuan Huang Immortal King, victory seeming utterly out of reach.
A few among these Primordial Immortal Kings had even resolved to step in at the critical juncture, aiming to extract the Immortal Path civilization's key figures.
Even if the entire Immortal Path civilization couldn't be preserved, at least a few sparks might endure.
That way, a spark of revival could ignite someday.
Yet, who would have foreseen that, before their intervention plan could take shape, the Dark Clan Immortal Kings would fall in the wink of an eye.
No amount of racking their brains could conjure up such an outcome.
It was downright over-the-top.
“No, this isn't some mirage—it's the real deal.”
“The Xuan Huang Immortal King single-handedly overpowered a horde of Dark Clan Immortal Kings.”
“And it all went down in a split second.”
A tangled look crossed the Creation Immortal King's face.
While he had spotted great promise in the Immortal Path civilization, convinced that with enough time, it could emerge as a pillar against the Dark Clan, how much time had truly passed since its rise? And now it was toppling numerous Taikoo Dark Clan Immortal Kings?
What's more, the feat appeared deceptively simple, as if it took no real effort.
By contrast, they Primordial Immortal Kings came off as pathetically ineffective, nowhere near matching up.
They resembled nothing more than outdated fossils clinging to existence, offering zero real aid.
“Unbelievable—how on earth did he pull that off?”
“Three thousand Taikoo Immortal Kings, fifty thousand Primordial Immortal Kings—that's an overwhelming army.”
“How did the Xuan Huang Immortal King crush them all so swiftly?”
“What's the secret? Has he secretly advanced to Dao Lord?”
The Prehistoric Immortal Kings lost their composure entirely, their minds shattered in disbelief.
They had forever seen the Dark Clan as an invincible foe.
Under no circumstances could the universe's inhabitants overcome the Dark Clan.
It loomed like an impossible, sky-scraping peak.
But now, that peak had crumbled, plunging them into chaos and doubt.
It felt as though a newcomer had casually outdone their lifetimes of toil.
Words escaped them to express the whirlwind of emotions churning inside.
Joy or sorrow? They couldn't tell.
A hollow void settled over them.
“He definitely hasn't reached Dao Lord yet.”
“A true Dao Lord would wield far greater might than this.”
“Still, I suspect the Xuan Huang Immortal King stands on the brink of Dao Lord ascension.”
“Likely, he's attained the Half-step Dao Lord stage.”
The Creation Immortal King shared his theory.
The skirmish with Zhou Sui had unfolded at breakneck speed, shrouded in chaotic law forces.
They missed the emergence of the Gu Divine Bowl and remained unaware of Zhou Sui deploying a Chaos Supreme Treasure.
Thus, his guess leaned toward the Xuan Huang Immortal King hitting Half-step Dao Lord level.
Nothing less could explain that level of battle prowess.
It outstripped countless Taikoo Immortal Kings, a truly daunting prospect.
“Half-step Dao Lord? But this guy's cultivation span is so brief—how does he eclipse us so thoroughly?”
“Idiot, if time alone built strength, we'd be unbeatable by now, yet reality proves otherwise.”
“True enough—in every age, prodigies emerge swiftly, then effortlessly outshine their forebears, just like the Xuan Huang Immortal King, a once-in-a-lifetime prodigy, the chosen of destiny.”
“But what's a Half-step Dao Lord exactly, and how does one climb there? We've never forged such a stage ourselves, so how did the Xuan Huang Immortal King manage it?”
“Maybe we've strayed from the true path all along. At its core, the Ancient King Realm, Primordial Immortal King, Taikoo Immortal King, and similar tiers are inventions we cooked up out of desperation, since breaking into Dao Lord eluded us. Strip it down, and those realms don't truly exist. A true genius might leap straight from Ancient King Realm to Dao Lord.”
“Heh, as if I haven't pondered that? The snag is, reaching Dao Lord demands grasping the Fate Principle, yet fate twists elusively, defying all understanding. To this day, not a sliver of the Fate Principle has yielded to us. Without it, Dao Lord ascension stays out of reach, dooming every genius Immortal King across history.”
The Prehistoric Immortal Kings debated animatedly.
Each harbored deep frustration; as the era-defining prodigies of their civilizations, surviving to this point marked them as exceptional talents without peer.
Yet, confronting the inscrutable Dao Lord realm and the slippery Fate Principle felt like an impassable gulf, dooming myriad Immortal Kings to stagnation right there.
The more years they accumulated in cultivation, the deeper the despair grew, highlighting their own triviality.
“So you're implying the Xuan Huang Immortal King, by hitting Half-step Dao Lord, has brushed against the enigmas of the Fate Principle.”
“Or even unraveled fragments of the Fate Principle, propelling him to Half-step Dao Lord?!”
“In that case, the Xuan Huang Immortal King could well become our universe's inaugural Dao Lord.”
A few Prehistoric Immortal Kings beamed with genuine excitement.
They warmly embraced the arrival of such a remarkable successor.
Victory didn't have to bloom in their era.
Should the Xuan Huang Immortal King triumph and rescue the universe, their past struggles would gain profound purpose and value.
After eons of patient waiting for just such a figure, they had nearly abandoned hope—until the Xuan Huang Immortal King arose.
This filled them with uncontainable elation.
“Still, let's not count our wins too soon.”
“We've merely overcome a band of Dark Clan Immortal Kings for now.”
“The Dark Clan's Dao Lord remains our ultimate foe.”
“Without toppling that Dao Lord, everything else rings hollow.”
The Creation Immortal King cautioned, dousing the enthusiasm of his fellow Immortal Kings.
Only after vanquishing the Eternal Night Daoist Lord would these gains truly matter; otherwise, they were mere footnotes.
“You're right, of course, but this victory stands unmatched in scope.”
“It's the brightest dawn of hope we've witnessed yet.”
“We pray the Xuan Huang Immortal King ascends to Dao Lord.”
The Prehistoric Immortal Kings conversed, each radiating profound joy.
They believed that, as a Dao Lord, the Xuan Huang Immortal King could surely overpower the Eternal Night Daoist Lord.
At minimum, he'd hold his own against the adversary.
