Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Chapter 170 The Endless Six Paths

In an instant, Five Extremes and Jin Yan’s expressions froze, not understanding why he would do such a thing.

Behind the two of them, Fang Ming’s Original True Understanding circulated, constantly inspecting his physical body and soul.

Five Absolutes True Immortal’s gaze narrowed as he looked at Fang Ming, a faint five-colored immortal light rising from his body.

Seeing Fang Ming circulating his cultivation technique, Five Extremes and Jin Yan’s expressions turned serious, and they immediately remembered something, immortal light rising from each of their bodies.

The three of them no longer exchanged words, the atmosphere in the palace almost solidified, with three powerful True Immortals facing off.

At this moment, Fang Ming’s Original True Understanding circulated, and he indeed discovered a clue; his physical body had been silently polluted, and some substance was extremely covertly spreading towards his soul.

It was precisely Five Absolutes True Immortal who had quietly made a move just now, leaving some dark matter on Fang Ming.

“What the f***…” Fang Ming couldn't help but curse in his heart.

The pollution of this dark matter was too hidden, it was truly completely imperceptible.

"No wonder it can pollute so many True Immortals and Immortal Kings!" Fang Ming cursed in a low voice, then circulated the Original True Understanding, wanting to purify that terrifying pollution.

However, the Original True Understanding had no effect, and the dark pollution was still spreading towards his soul at an astonishingly fast speed.

In fact, if the Original True Understanding had been effective, the Corpse Immortal Emperor would not have been invaded by darkness and become the Dark Immortal Emperor.

Seeing that his soul was about to be polluted by dark matter, Fang Ming immediately wanted to detonate his soul and let his consciousness return to his main body.

In this realm, the power of reincarnation is strong; even if one's form and spirit are destroyed by detonating their soul, they can still be reborn through reincarnation.

Just at this moment, a 'chi' sound came from his three-inch soul, and a phantom of a treasure ship emitting a faint immortal light appeared.

Seeing this treasure ship, Fang Ming's heart trembled; it turned out that something had followed him, but he hadn't known about it.

The immortal light vibrated, and all the dark matter on Fang Ming’s body steamed up, turning into wisps of black mist that flew out of his body.

In an instant, soul-stirring black smoke appeared, this smoke diffused with dark light, giving people an extremely ominous feeling just by looking at it.

Seeing the black smoke rising above, Five Extremes and Jin Yan had an indescribable sorrow on their faces.

For Five Extremes, his senior brother might have already fallen, and for Jin Yan, a good Fellow Daoist had fallen, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had thus lost a powerful True Immortal who had the potential to become an Immortal King.

Five Absolutes spoke, his voice extremely indifferent: "Unexpectedly, a mere cultivator in the Human Dao realm can resist immortal-level substances. It seems he has quite a secret on him. I should have killed him directly just now, instead of trying to convert him!"

Looking at the three of them, he revealed a cold smile and said, "Since you're here, none of you will leave. Either join our supreme holy race, or fall here."

Before he finished speaking, countless Immortal Dao patterns appeared in this vast five-colored palace, and a先天 Five Elements Grand Array was activated.

Immortal Dao pressure spread, enveloping this place.

"You're overly confident," Five Extremes stepped forward, his expression calm, and said, "You may possess my senior brother's knowledge, but that is a thing of the past. Senior brother and I haven't met for hundreds of thousands of years. Don't you know a saying?"

"When a scholar hasn't been seen for three days, his achievements should be viewed with new eyes!"

As his voice fell, a five-colored immortal light rose from his body, transforming into a five-colored treasure wheel.

With a sweep of the five-colored immortal light, this palace crumbled inch by inch, and even the innate grand formation within it could not be stopped in the slightest, being destroyed along with it.

The immortal light soared into the sky, immensely thick, piercing through the star river and entering the chaos.

"You've actually broken through to Quasi-Immortal King? And you've created the Reverse Five Elements Immortal Light!" Opposite, Five Absolutes' pupils contracted, and his face became very ugly.

However, in just an instant, he regained his composure and said, "Do you think I'm the only one here? Your struggles are all futile, everything is already destined."

Before his voice fell, a large hand reached out from the direction of the Border Wilderness Immortal City, boundless in size, covering countless star systems, pressing down towards Qingwei Immortal City.

At this moment, countless star systems exploded, boundless and endless chaotic energy surged and spread, the entire world seemed to be returning to chaos.

"Even the Qingwei Heaven Lord..." At this moment, Five Extremes and Jin Yan couldn't help but reveal expressions of despair.

The power of an Immortal King, even if he is a Quasi-Immortal King, cannot contend against it, unless his physical body survives the Immortal King Tribulation and becomes an existence among the Ten Evils, only then can he contend with it somewhat.

Ordinary True Immortals, no matter how many there are, are not enough for an Immortal King to kill; the qualitative difference cannot be compensated by quantity.

Throughout history, there has never been a True Immortal who could contend against an Immortal King.

Existences like the Ten Evils, their physical bodies are already in the Immortal King realm, and their souls have also been tempered, they are already incomplete Immortal Kings, coupled with their own powerful innate abilities, their strength is actually not below that of an Immortal King.

In despair, a bell sound resounded through the heavens and earth, and an immeasurably large Dao Bell suddenly appeared, spanning the star river, blocking the descending large hand.

"This is..." Five Extremes revealed a joyful expression, "This is Lord Wu Zhong who has arrived!"

Seeing that familiar Dao Bell, Fang Ming, who was preparing to detonate his soul, also stopped his actions.

The bell waves spread, and time flowed backward. The immeasurable star systems and endless living beings that had been destroyed under the large hand of the Qingwei Heaven Lord just now were all restored and resurrected.

Then, a divine disk descended from the sky and landed in the Border Wilderness Immortal City. The Six Paths Reincarnation world spread out, enveloping the immensely large Immortal City and the surrounding endless star systems.

In an instant, Five Absolutes True Immortal's eyes became hazy, and his soul consciousness was dragged into reincarnation by the Reincarnation Disk.

The battle between Immortal Kings erupted, it was fierce, but also very short.

Wu Zhong Immortal King and Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King were ultimately giants among Immortal Kings, with powerful strength.

Working together, they captured the Qingwei Heaven Lord alive, despite his fierce resistance.

Cultivating to become an Immortal King is not easy, it's not something you can just kill.

In the center of Qingwei Immortal City, the Immortal King's mansion was majestic and solemn. In a garden filled with immortal energy, all the parties involved in this matter were present, and the atmosphere was very heavy.

Of course, the other Immortal Dao experts stationed in Qingwei Heaven were also present.

They were all beings who had been checked and found not to be eroded by darkness.

Wu Zhong Immortal King and Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King were enveloped in immortal light, their faces were not visible, but their solemn aura could be felt.

The seriousness of the matter was self-evident. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had been severely eroded, and even Immortal Kings were continuously being eroded, which showed how far the matter had developed.

Obviously, it was impossible for only the Qingwei Heaven Lord and Five Absolutes True Immortal to have been eroded.

In fact, the reason they were able to make a move just now was because Wu Zhong Immortal King happened to have something to come over here, so he found Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King and invited him to come over together to find the Qingwei Heaven Lord to discuss something.

"Lord Wu Zhong, Lord Six Paths." Five Extremes True Immortal looked at the two Immortal Kings and asked with concern, "My senior brother, and the Heaven Lord, is there still hope to save them?"

Saying that, he looked at Fang Ming, who was quietly in the corner, and said, "Is Xuan Ming alright?"

"Five Absolutes and Qingwei's souls have not been completely eroded, there is still room for salvation." Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King spoke, very steady, and said, "I did not see any hidden dangers on that young man, you can rest assured."

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on Five Extremes' face. This was good news.

"The situation is not optimistic." At this moment, another steady voice sounded, and Wu Zhong Immortal King spoke, saying, "It is foreseeable that we may have a considerable number of strong individuals who have been silently eroded by darkness. The Other Realm may be accumulating strength, presumably recalling the strong individuals who have entered the Boundary Sea, planning to defeat us in one fell swoop."

"Two Lords, the situation is very unfavorable for us. Does the Immortal Domain have any opinions?" A True Immortal stepped forward and said, "The Immortal Domain and our realm are of the same origin, why haven't they sent Immortal Kings to assist?"

"Don't place your hopes on the Immortal Domain. The Immortal Domain is not a monolithic entity. There are forces in the Immortal Domain that are friendly to our lineage, and naturally there are also forces that are not optimistic about us." Wu Zhong Immortal King shook his head and said, "Originally, Hunyuan Immortal King, Pan King, and Qiyu Immortal King had planned to make a move, but they were intercepted by people from another lineage."

"How can they be like this?" That True Immortal was angry and said indignantly, "If our realm and the Immortal Domain join forces, the Other Realm will definitely not be our opponent. It's not impossible to sweep them away in one battle and eliminate this great scourge. How can they be so short-sighted?"

"Let's not talk about the Immortal Domain." Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King shook his head.

As for the Immortal Domain, these Immortal Kings had long given up hope.

They saw clearly that the Immortal Domain merely wanted to use the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to consume the power of the Other Realm, and did not truly want to cooperate with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to eliminate the Other Realm together.

If the Immortal Domain and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths worked together wholeheartedly, there was indeed some possibility of severely damaging or even annihilating the Other Realm.

"Is the thing the Other Realm is looking for really in our realm?" At this time, a True Immortal asked doubtfully, saying, "What exactly is that thing?"

There has been more than one great realm broken through by the Other Realm. Over countless years, the number of great realms broken through by the Other Realm is astonishing.

They only knew that the Other Realm was looking for something, but they really didn't know what they were looking for.

This involved the highest-level secrets of the Other Realm, only those Immortal Kings knew.

"It should be a rotten wooden box. It is rumored to be related to the secret of breaking through from King to Emperor. Only those Immortal Kings know the specifics." Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King shook his head and said, "Whether it is in our realm or not is no longer important. What is important is that the Immortal Kings believe that thing is here, and the situation has already developed to this point!"

"If they want to stop, we will not stop either. If we stop now, how can we face the Fellow Daoists who have died?" His words were no longer calm, and killing intent was revealed, shaking the entire star sea.

Wu Zhong Immortal King spoke and said, "Aggression and expansion are their nature. This is an instinct originating from darkness. Even without that thing, they would still invade everywhere. They are the bridgehead of the dark source. This is their nature and their evolutionary path."

They had been confronting the Other Realm for more than one epoch and knew the nature of the Other Realm well.

"Let's first deal with the Fellow Daoists who have been eroded internally. Otherwise, with internal and external collusion, the situation will be completely irreversible." Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King said.

"That's right." The True Immortals present nodded.

They either manifested their Dharma bodies, or revealed their Cave Heaven spirit bodies, or manifested their true forms. Rays of immortal light tore through space and instantly disappeared.

Afterward, only four figures remained in this garden: Fang Ming, Wu Zhong, Six Paths, and Five Extremes.
