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 outshines 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 from the past had ever claimed such a monumental achievement.
Historians call it 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 end.”
“The blaze of hope will surge to new heights as well.”
“In that case, we'll seize back the lands corrupted by Eternal Night's forces and revive the Immortal World's lost splendor.”
“Then, it falls to fellow Immortal Kings to take the reins.”
“My top priority remains focused on cultivation, grasping the vast array of Heaven and Earth Laws, and pushing toward Dao Lord realm.”
A spark of determination lit up in Zhou Sui’s gaze. He had mapped out a full lineup of strategies.
Whoosh!
With that in mind, his form blurred into motion, vanishing from the spot in a flash, out of sight for all onlookers.
A bunch of stunned and disbelieving Immortal Kings were left staring in the aftermath.
The concealed Primordial Immortal Kings, in particular, stood frozen in total shock at the sight, speechless in their overwhelming awe.
What unfolded defied all their expectations, proving far too astonishing.
They remained clueless about the method behind it.
“This can't be happening, is it genuine or some trick?”
“Am I trapped in some kind of hallucination?”
“Just like that, the Xuan Huang Immortal King erased so many Dark Clan Immortal Kings?”
The Primordial Immortal Kings gulped down their surprise, hit hard by the revelation.
Exchanging glances, they caught the sheer disbelief mirrored in one another's stares.
Truth be told, they had viewed this fight as a doomed end for the Xuan Huang Immortal King, victory nowhere in reach.
A few among these Primordial Immortal Kings had even resolved to step in during the critical phase, pulling out the Immortal Path civilization's key figures.
Even if the whole Immortal Path civilization couldn't be preserved, at least a few sparks might endure.
Through that, a shot at revival might still flicker alive.
Yet who foresaw that, prior to enacting their scheme, the entire force of Dark Clan Immortal Kings would fall in a mere instant.
No amount of racking their brains could conjure up such an outcome.
It bordered on the absurd.
“No, this isn't a trick—it's the raw truth.”
“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 huge promise in the Immortal Path civilization, convinced it could evolve into a pillar against the Dark Clan with enough time, how much span had passed since its rise, and already it toppled numerous ancient Dark Clan Immortal Kings?
What's more, the feat unfolded with apparent ease, no strain in sight.
Next to this display, they Primordial Immortal Kings came off as worthless relics, paling in every comparison.
Mere fossils clinging to existence, offering zero real aid.
“Impossible, how on earth did he pull that off?”
“Three thousand ancient Immortal Kings, fifty thousand Primordial ones—a force straight out of nightmares.”
“And the Xuan Huang Immortal King crushed them all in a heartbeat?”
“What's the secret? Has he secretly stepped into Dao Lord territory?”
The Prehistoric Immortal Kings lost their composure entirely, minds shattered in disbelief.
They had forever seen the Dark Clan as an invincible foe.
Under no circumstances could the universe's inhabitants topple the Dark Clan.
It loomed like an impossible peak, forever out of reach.
But now, that peak had crumbled, plunging them into chaos and doubt.
All their lifelong struggles felt casually eclipsed by this upstart.
Words failed to capture their swirling emotions.
Joy or sorrow? They couldn't tell.
A hollow void settled over them.
“He surely hasn't reached Dao Lord yet.”
“A true Dao Lord would wield far more than this might.”
“Still, I suspect the Xuan Huang Immortal King stands on the brink of Dao Lord ascension.”
“Likely, he's hit Half-step Dao Lord level.”
The Creation Immortal King shared his theory.
The prior skirmish with Zhou Sui had raced by at blinding speed, muddled by layers of law forces.
They missed the Gu Divine Bowl's emergence and Zhou Sui's deployment of a Chaos Supreme Treasure.
Thus, his guess pegged the Xuan Huang Immortal King at Half-step Immortal King strength.
Anything less couldn't explain such overwhelming prowess.
This edged out countless ancient Immortal Kings, a downright fearsome leap.
“Half-step Dao Lord? But how many years has this youngster been at it, and he's lapped us all?”
“Think straight—if time alone built strength, we'd be untouchable, yet reality proves otherwise.”
“True enough, every age births prodigies who skyrocket in record time, then eclipse every elder with ease, just like the Xuan Huang Immortal King, a once-in-a-lifetime prodigy, the chosen of fate.”
“But tell me, 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 off course all along. At its core, the Ancient King Realm, Primordial Immortal King, ancient Immortal King, and similar tiers are inventions we cooked up, born from failing to breach Dao Lord heights. Strip it down, and no such stages truly exist. A true prodigy might vault straight from Ancient King Realm into Dao Lord.”
“Heh, as if I haven't pondered that? The snag is, reaching Dao Lord demands mastery of the Fate Principle, yet fate twists beyond grasp. To this day, we've barely skimmed its edges. Lacking that insight into Fate Principle bars the path to Dao Lord, dooming every genius Immortal King across history.”
The Prehistoric Immortal Kings debated heatedly.
Each harbored deep frustration; they were the era-defining prodigies of their civilizations, survivors to this day through sheer brilliance.
Yet against the Dao Lord realm's mysteries and the Fate Principle's slipperiness, it formed an uncrossable gulf, dooming myriad Immortal Kings to stall right there.
The more years they piled on in cultivation, the deeper the despair, underscoring their tiny place in the grand scheme.
“So you're implying the Xuan Huang Immortal King touching Half-step Dao Lord means he's grazed the Fate Principle's secrets.”
“Or even grasped a fragment of the Fate Principle, propelling him to Half-step Dao Lord?!”
“In that light, he could emerge as our universe's inaugural Dao Lord.”
A few Prehistoric Immortal Kings lit up with real excitement.
They warmly embraced this rising star.
Victory didn't have to crown their own lives.
Should the Xuan Huang Immortal King pull it off and salvage the universe, their every hardship would gain true purpose.
After endless ages of waiting for just such a figure, hope had seemed a pipe dream—until the Xuan Huang Immortal King burst onto the scene.
This filled them with pure elation.
“Hold off on the cheers, though.”
“We've merely toppled a squad of Dark Clan Immortal Kings so far.”
“The Dark Clan's Dao Lord remains the real threat.”
“Without toppling that Dao Lord, everything else rings hollow.”
The Creation Immortal King cautioned, dousing the Immortal Kings' budding thrill.
Only after felling the Eternal Night Daoist Lord would these wins truly matter; otherwise, they're mere footnotes.
“Your words ring true, yet this victory stands unmatched in scale.”
“It's the brightest dawn of hope we've witnessed.”
“We pray the Xuan Huang Immortal King ascends to Dao Lord.”
The Prehistoric Immortal Kings buzzed with talk, each brimming with unbridled joy.
They believed that, as a Dao Lord, the Xuan Huang Immortal King could surely crush the Eternal Night Daoist Lord.
At worst, he'd match the foe blow for blow.
