Quasi-Emperor Spirit Body, Immortal King Returns

The Immortal Kings were astonished, for they had not expected this Spirit Body to possess such formidable power, capable of seizing Ao Sheng with one hand while scattering the origin power of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor with the other to help them restore their states.

They could not help but feel curious about this Spirit Body, wishing to understand more about its origins and purpose.

Immortal King Wuzhong, having recovered to his peak, stepped forward and asked the Spirit Body for guidance: "May I ask, Senior, who exactly are you? Why have you chosen to help us?"

"I am a soul projection left here by Quasi-Immortal Emperor Chi Yi," the Spirit Body spoke slowly, its voice imbued with majesty. "This Emperor has waited here for a long time, solely to thwart the ambitions of Ao Sheng."

Quasi-Immortal Emperor?

All the Immortal Kings were incredibly shocked; this Spirit Body was actually left behind by a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

The Immortal Kings present wore expressions of disbelief, as if they had encountered an inconceivable existence.

Deep awe and terror flowed through their eyes, as if this Spirit Body represented a power they could never hope to rival.

"Quasi-Immortal Emperor..." one Immortal King whispered, his voice filled with reverence.

"How is this possible? This Spirit Body was left by a Quasi-Immortal Emperor?" another Immortal King widened his eyes, clearly unable to accept the fact.

The power of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor could not be described in words. His existence was like the master of heaven and earth, awe-inspiring.

His aura seemed capable of shaking the entire universe, making the stars tremble and the heavens change color; his gaze was like an abyss, deep and unfathomable, as if it could discern all the secrets of the world.

His power was as surging and unstoppable as a torrent, and his strikes were like the collapse of heaven and earth, unrivaled. Before him, the Immortal Kings appeared so insignificant, like a single grain of sand in the vast ocean.

The might of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was beyond the imagination of the Immortal King realm.

The atmosphere shifted, and the Immortal Kings ceased their discussion of this matter, turning instead to talk of Ao Sheng.

Ao Sheng's ambition?

Indeed, he had already fallen into darkness and obtained unparalleled power.

"Then, what exactly is Ao Sheng's ambition?" Immortal King Sanqing asked. "We always thought he was merely pursuing greater power, but now it seems his goal goes far beyond that."

"Hmph, is Ao Sheng's ambition something you could ever imagine?" A cold, sinister voice suddenly rang out, shattering the contemplation of Immortal King Sanqing.

Immortal King Sanqing furrowed his brows, his eyes revealing doubt and vigilance.

He scanned his surroundings but found nothing unusual. Just as he prepared to continue his questioning, a low, chilling voice suddenly echoed in his ear, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

This voice seemed to come from the void, making it impossible to determine its source. It pierced into the heart of Immortal King Sanqing like a cold blade, sending a wave of intense chill through him.

"Hmph, is Ao Sheng's ambition something you could ever imagine?" The voice sounded again, carrying a tone of disdain and mockery.

The complexion of Immortal King Sanqing turned pale instantly; he felt an invisible pressure bearing down on him, leaving him almost unable to breathe.

He struggled to remain calm and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? And what exactly is Ao Sheng's ambition?"

The voice fell silent for a moment, as if savoring the question of Immortal King Sanqing, and then it spoke slowly, revealing the truth behind Ao Sheng's fall into darkness.

"So that is how it is!"

Immortal King Sanqing could not help but exclaim.

The Spirit Body glanced at Immortal King Sanqing and said to him: It seems you already know the answer.

Immortal King Sanqing looked at the Spirit Body and sighed deeply; he knew that what the Spirit Body said was true.

"Yes."

The reason for Ao Sheng's fall into darkness was actually the intervention of the Quasi-Immortal Emperors across the Boundary Sea and the Eerie Progenitor above the Upper Realm.

In order to control a larger sphere of influence, they had been laying plans in the shadows. Ao Sheng, as their pawn, was used to incite strife within the Immortal Domain, thereby weakening its strength.

However, Ao Sheng was not satisfied with being merely a pawn. He had his own ambitions; he craved to become the true master.

Thus, he began to plot in secret, attempting to break free from the control of the Quasi-Immortal Emperors and the Eerie Progenitor to seize the entire Immortal Domain.

To realize his ambition, Ao Sheng began to study forbidden arts, constantly digging into the roots of dark power.

Using his intelligence and formidable strength, he gradually established his own power base within the Immortal Domain.

However, as Ao Sheng's influence grew, the Quasi-Immortal Emperors and the Eerie Progenitor began to feel uneasy.

They realized that Ao Sheng was no longer a controllable pawn, but a powerful enemy threatening their interests, so they decided to strike, intending to eliminate him.

Ao Sheng had once tried to resist, but even with his great strength, his opponents were not weak, especially those who were the elite among the Dark Beings.

Ao Sheng ultimately failed in his resistance, his soul and body falling into darkness to become a Dark Immortal King, lurking within the Immortal Domain.

And the one who had transmitted the voice was also a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, whose true body resided in the Upper Realm.

"My purpose achieved, it is time for me to depart."

The Spirit Body handed the formation used to detain Ao Sheng over to Immortal King Sanqing.

Immortal King Sanqing took hold of Ao Sheng, sensing the faint power within him, and understood. He glanced at the trapped Ao Sheng, his eyes revealing deep disappointment and heartache.

"Ao Sheng, you truly have disappointed me," Immortal King Sanqing said in a deep voice, his tone filled with helplessness and regret.

Ao Sheng remained silent, his head bowed as if bearing a weight of a thousand catties.

His former brilliance and confidence had vanished completely, replaced by endless exhaustion and loss.

The victor is the king, and the loser is the villain.

This is the cruel law of the cultivation world, and it is the cruel reality that Ao Sheng is deeply experiencing at this moment.

He once believed that he could defy the heavens and break free from the shackles of fate, but in the end, he still fell before this insurmountable chasm.

The light had long since faded from Ao Sheng's eyes, replaced by a shroud of darkness; his heart felt as though it had been pierced by a cold blade, leaving him in a state of painful numbness.

He once thought he was strong enough to face any challenge, but now it seemed he was still too insignificant, too powerless.

The victor stands high above, enjoying the reverence and worship of the masses, while the loser is like a discarded shoe, forgotten in a corner.

Ao Sheng is currently tasting the bitterness of this defeat, his heart filled with gall, yet he harbors no regrets. He knows well that the path of cultivation is filled with thorns and obstacles, and that victory and defeat are common occurrences.

"Immortal King Sanqing, enter My Imperial City for a discussion," Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation said coldly, his tone carrying an unquestionable majesty.

His gaze was like a sharp blade, piercing straight into the heart of Immortal King Sanqing.

"Very well, let us go together."

Sanqing is an extremely arrogant person who considers himself one of the most powerful existences in the Immortal Domain, but after this incident with Ao Sheng, even he cannot refuse.
