King of Assassins

Chapter 1223: Chapter 749: Five Lines Earth Evil Divine Light

The Nine-headed Dragon King and Gao Xuan looked at each other across the void, and the exchange of their gazes caused a violent primordial qi disturbance.

The vibration caused avalanches across ten thousand mountains, stirring towering waves.

This was the direct clash of two Earth Immortal powerhouses, causing a vast momentum that continually spread outward, covering the entire Southern Barbarian Wilderness.

Many Earth Immortal-level Demon Emperors of the Southern Barbarian Wilderness sensed this intense primordial qi disturbance.

Conflicts between Earth Immortal-level Demon Emperors are extremely rare. Especially such direct and forceful conflicts are even more uncommon.

Such a grand momentum also drew the attention of many Demon Emperors. But due to the distance, they couldn’t be certain who was fighting.

Among the Seventy-Two Demon Emperors of the Southern Wilderness, although they are renowned among each other, the Demon Emperors rarely communicate.

Earth Immortals certainly stay within their own territories, unwilling to roam recklessly.

Not all of the Seventy-Two Demon Emperors are idle; among them are powerful figures with ambitious talents, very concerned about the situation in the Southern Barbarian Wilderness.

The Infinite Demon Emperor, Xiong Wuji, is very knowledgeable about the other Demon Emperors of the Southern Barbarian Wilderness.

Xiong Wuji has the ambition to unite the Southern Barbarian Wilderness, and for millions of years, he has never given up on this effort.

Each Earth Immortal occupies a territory claiming sovereignty, unwilling to be controlled by others.

Xiong Wuji understands this, knowing that to unify the many Demon Emperors of the Southern Barbarian Wilderness, no strategy or plan would work; only using power to forcibly subdue them would suffice.

Xiong Wuji diligently trained his Infinite Divine Power for hundreds of thousands of years, silently slaying six surrounding Demon Emperors, swallowing vast territories and honing his Infinite Divine Power to the supreme realm.

However, at this point, he suddenly discovered a problem, which is that his Infinite Divine Power had reached the peak, and continuing to annex Earth Immortal territories could not enhance his cultivation.

This problem greatly thwarted Xiong Wuji’s ambition. If expanding territory cannot enhance his power, the meaning of expansion diminishes greatly.

To solve this problem, he must refine an Earth Artifact or condense a second Earth Immortal Law.

Infinite Divine Power emphasizes ultimate strength and rigidity, pure and powerful energy that cannot accommodate other Earth Immortal Laws.

Refining Earth Artifacts is also troublesome; Xiong Wuji excels at fighting but isn’t skilled at artifact refining.

The vast majority of Demon Emperors faces this problem. They rely on innate divine techniques to prove their path. Outside of innate divine techniques, they find it difficult to grasp other powers.

This is the fundamental reason why other cultivators look down on demons.

Relying purely on innate talent, ultimately they are not much stronger than beasts.

In this regard, Gao Xuan has a unique advantage. His Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body condenses the Divine Talisman core using Yin Yang and Five Elements, mastering various changes of Yin Yang and Five Elements.

Externally, he possesses the Greed Furnace, capable of melting myriad artifacts. Moreover, he has the Formless Nine Revolutions Inference to simulate, reducing the failure rate to the minimum.

The extraordinary spiritual nature of the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada ensures he never strays onto the wrong path.

For this reason, Gao Xuan can steadily refine many divine artifacts. This kind of advantage is unmatched by other Demon Emperors.

If it were other Demon Emperors, annexing the territories of other Earth Immortals would still make it difficult to quickly convert them into personal power.

Therefore, most Demon Emperors prefer to keep to themselves. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

This is the essential difference between the Demon Emperors and Gao Xuan; different needs lead to different behavior patterns.

Gao Xuan has a path forward, naturally willing to advance with vigor and courage.

The Demon Emperor Xiong Wuji, however, is stuck in a bottleneck, even with great ambition, unable to find his path forward.

Xiong Wuji pondered bitterly at home for a breakthrough method, halting his grand plan to unite the Southern Barbarian Wilderness.

The Southern Barbarian Wilderness, with its Demon Emperors entrenched in various territories, and demons lacking business acumen, coupled with no need for mutual communication, results in isolated information flow.

Xiong Wuji was completely unaware that Shi Wanqiu was killed by Gao Xuan, after all, this event occurred only thousands of years ago, too short a time for a Demon Emperor.

It wasn’t until Gao Xuan and the Nine-headed Dragon King confronted each other from afar, with their powers constantly spreading outward, that Xiong Wuji took notice.

Xiong Wuji recognized the aura of the Nine-headed Dragon King, leaving a deep impression on him.

Among the Seventy-Two Demon Emperors of the Southern Barbarian Wilderness, the Nine-headed Dragon King ranks firmly in the top ten in terms of combat prowess. Moreover, he is decisive and battle-loving, truly a heroic figure.

Xiong Wuji quite admired the Nine-headed Dragon King, once personally reaching out to recruit him for a grand cause. Unfortunately, the Nine-headed Dragon King refused.

Xiong Wuji thought the Nine-headed Dragon King lacked some ambition, a pity.

Unexpectedly, someone dared to clash head-on with the Nine-headed Dragon King, and moreover, did not lose in momentum.

This momentum was vast and ocean-like, pure and clear, with an aura deeper and more profound than the Nine-headed Dragon King’s fierce strength.

Who could this be?

Xiong Wuji had visited many Demon Emperors of the Southern Barbarian Wilderness, remembering the Law Power of many Demon Emperors.

In his memory, there was no such figure in the Southern Barbarian Wilderness.

Moreover, there were few Demon Emperors who could vaguely suppress the Nine-headed Dragon King.

"Could it be an Earth Immortal from Central Province?"

Xiong Wuji was somewhat puzzled, as the opponent’s aura resembled that of a Human Race cultivator, greatly differing from the aura of Demon Emperors.

Within the Eight Desolates, Demon Emperors dominate, only Central Province has such top-tier Human Race Earth Immortals.

The Primordial Celestial Realm is vast and endless, known as the Eight Desolates on its four sides: southeast, northwest. The central region is collectively called Central Province.

The Eight Desolates are territories of demons, ghosts, and monsters, while Central Province is a territory of the Human Race and Celestial Beings.

In terms of robust strength, Central Province, rich in talent, boasts numerous powerful Earth Immortals.

The most famous Primordial Celestial First Sword Immortal Yuan Qinglian is the Sect Leader of the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect in Central Province.

Besides Yuan Qinglian, Earth Element Daoist Monarch, Ten Suffering Bodhisattva, and Paradise Demon Emperor are also top powerhouses in this realm.
