After Yang Qi became the Light Envoy, the next step was to compete for the seats of the Nine Dao Protector Dharma Kings.
This competition was just as fierce!
The Nine Dharma Kings held lofty positions and immense authority, like feudal lords. Each guarded a region or oversaw vital affairs, and could even form their own Dharma King legions. The attraction was unparalleled.
After a round of brutal fighting, the nine Dharma Kings were decided.
A middle-aged man dressed in a purple imperial robe and wearing a Flat Sky Crown, his bearing incomparably noble, won the seat of Doushuai Purple King. He was the reigning emperor of the Doushuai Heaven Immortal Realm—Zi Ji Emperor Zun!
His cultivation level was unfathomable. He had long reached the peak of the Hongshen Realm and might even have touched upon the Half-step Immortal realm. Behind him stood Doushuai Heaven, one of the supreme Immortal Realms of the Thirty-Three Levels. Both his strength and foundation were terrifying.
The injured Buried Sword Ancestor had recovered somewhat. Although he had lost to Fang Qing, his attainments in the sword path were still among the finest of all heavens, and he became the Buried Immortal Sword King.
A bald, muscular man wearing tattered kasaya robes and wielding a Vajra Pestle was a reclusive expert from the Buddhist lineage. He specialized in the path of demon breaking and became the Demon Breaking Luo King.
A blazing saber radiance like a great sun tore through the void. Another Dharma King had emerged: the Rising Sun Saber King.
An elderly man with white hair and beard, holding a compass while countless formation runes floated around him, was the Universe Formation King.
A black shadow seeped out of nothingness. Skilled in assassination and shadow evasion, he was the Solemn Killing Shadow King.
