Chapter 507

What's going on?

"What happened?!!"

At this moment, countless cultivators in the Fenwang Star Domain looked up at the sky in terror.

The sudden turn of events filled them with inexplicable fear and unease.

"Not good!"

"It's a fundamental mutation in the star field!"

"I understand, it's the Ziwei Immortal King! She's come to receive the Origin!"

"... This day has finally come."

In the Fenwang Star Domain, the high-ranking members of various Lineage and sects looked up at the sky with extremely complicated expressions.

"Pass down the order: all forces in the Fenwang Star Domain, including some Rogue Cultivator, are forbidden from moving around at will. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy!"

At this moment, the heads of the various Lineage exchanged ideas and reached a consensus.

Once the Ziwei Immortal King successfully merges with the origin, it will mean the birth of a brand new Immortal Venerable.

He is also the first new Celestial Venerable since the founding of the Heavenly Court!

This is certainly a momentous event, but for countless forces, cultivators, and living beings in the Fenwang Star Domain, it is something that can truly affect them.

A sense of unease permeated the hearts of countless beings in the Fenwang Star Domain.

"There's no need for everyone to rush. The Fenwang Star Domain is a super-large starfield, its origin is as vast as a celestial realm. Even if the Ziwei Immortal King can defeat the Fenwang Immortal Venerable, it doesn't mean she can successfully merge with the origin of the Fenwang Star Domain."

"To be honest, it's true that if—and I mean if—something unexpected happened to the Ziwei Immortal King during the fusion of origins... I can't say for sure..."

"You scoundrel, are you cursing the fall of the Ziwei Immortal King?!"

"Oh my, this new master hasn't even arrived yet, and he's already eager to be someone's dog. It's hilarious!"

"The Ziwei Immortal King's defeat of the Fenwang Immortal Venerable and his takeover of the Fenwang Star Domain is truly a matter of destiny, an unstoppable force that no one can resist."

"To be honest, it's hard to say..."

"We'll see who comes out on top!"

Some hidden forces were now discussing amongst themselves, each harboring their own ulterior motives.

These remarks naturally did not escape the notice of the various Immortal King forces under the Ziwei Immortal King, but they did not restrain them.

After all, nobody wants to have a master over their head.

At the edge of the Fenwang Star Domain.

In a desolate little world.

More than ten figures appeared one after another.

They were men or women, young or old, and some were not even human-shaped.

Without exception, they all exuded the aura of Celestial Kings, extremely powerful, to the point that even the void seemed unable to withstand their pressure, creaking and cracking.

It was the Immortal Kings of the Fenwang Star Domain who had gathered here.

"Is everyone here?"

One of the young men, with white hair and a youthful face, swept his gaze across the crowd and said in a deep voice.

"Fellow Daoist Li Kong, why did you invite us here?"

"Is it because of that Ziwei Immortal King?"

Upon hearing this, Immortal King Li Kong nodded and said, "Ziwei Immortal King has already begun to attempt to merge with the origin of the star field; we must make plans as soon as possible!"

"If you ask me, what is that Ziwei Immortal King? He only managed to defeat Lord Fen by luck. We still need to invite Lord Fen back. We don't recognize anyone but Lord Fen!"

"Hmph! King Fen is nothing but a defeated general; how dare he return? I think we should send an envoy to the Heavenly Realm to invite a highly respected Heavenly Venerable to oversee the overall situation of the star field, such as the Wuji Heavenly Venerable..."

"The Celestial Realm is unreliable; the Burning King is untrustworthy! We should elect someone to lead us in vying with the Ziwei Immortal King for the Origin and forging the path that belongs to our Fenwang Star Domain!"

The celestial kings all chimed in, each expressing their own opinions.

"Don't think that the Ziwei Immortal King is that strong. She was able to defeat the Burning King, probably with the help of others. Why do you think the Longevity Heavenly Venerable and the Jingyun Immortal Venerable were willing to go to such great lengths to help her?"

"To be honest, I have indeed heard a rumor that the Ziwei Immortal King is skilled in some kind of evil secret art. Through dual cultivation, she can bewitch people's hearts and manipulate their minds. She probably used this despicable method to control the Longevity Heavenly Venerable and the Jingyun Immortal Venerable!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

"I think we should still follow our own path in the Fenwang Star Domain, and not place our hopes on some Celestial Venerable in the Heavenly Realm, or any other outsider!"

"The only one who can guide us is Fellow Daoist Li Kong!"

Suddenly, someone suggested.

Upon hearing Immortal King Li Kong smiled faintly and said with great composure, "You flatter me. I am merely an Immortal King, just like you all. Although I am slightly higher than you in the Nine Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Tribulations of Immortal King, I am still just an Immortal King. I am not worthy of such a great responsibility!"

"No, no, no, Fellow Daoist Li Kong is too modest."

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Li Kong, you are only half a step away from entering the Immortal Venerable realm. We will not acknowledge anyone else but you!"

"Fellow Daoist Li Kong, you are the most suitable person to become the new master of the Fenwang Star Domain."

"We are willing to follow Fellow Daoist Li Kong forever, even unto death!"

The various celestial kings then spoke up.

Having said that, a smug smile flashed in the eyes of Immortal King Li Kong, and he nodded slightly, saying, "Since you all trust me, I will not stand on ceremony any longer. From today onwards, we will form an alliance and work together to accomplish great things!"

"However, we must still take the Ziwei Immortal King seriously and not underestimate her. Does anyone have any suggestions?"

Immortal King Li Kong looked at the other immortal kings.

"How about we seek help from other super-large star systems and ask one of their patriarchs to suppress the Ziwei Immortal King?"

Someone suggested.

"That might not be a safe bet."

The Immortal King Li Kong denied it.

"I think we should still ask the Celestial Venerables of the Heavenly Realm for help. Previously, the Ziwei Immortal King offended the Heavenly Venerable Yuanjue, the Heavenly Venerable Lingguang, and the Fufeng Heavenly Venerable. These three probably hate the Ziwei Immortal King to the bone. If we ask them for help, they certainly won't refuse!"

Upon hearing this, Immortal King Li Kong nodded and said, "Good!"

"In addition, to be on the safe side, we should go to the Chenlong Star Domain and ask Chenlong Ancestor for help. With the four Immortal Venerables joining forces, Ziwei Immortal King will surely die!"

"Indeed, no matter how powerful the Ziwei Immortal King is, he cannot possibly defeat four Immortal Venerables."

I agree with doing this.

The other Celestial Kings echoed this sentiment.

Seeing this, the Immortal King Li Kong nodded in satisfaction. "In that case, let's get to work!"

"Yes!"

"Yes..."

Fenwang Star Domain.

The Land of Origin.

With a diameter in the millions of miles, a fireball as huge as a star floated in the vast and boundless space of the Origin Land.

The fireball emitted a blazing and dazzling glow, making it difficult to open one's eyes, just like a scorching sun illuminating the entire space, causing one's heart to tremble.

At the center of the fireball, a figure sat upright, eyes closed in deep concentration.

The figure was enveloped in clusters of crimson light, as if bathed in a blazing sun. The surrounding void was vaporized into white mist, turning into swirling water vapor that obscured the view.

The figure was surrounded by countless fiery runes, which swam around like tadpoles.

The figure's body was covered with a layer of crystal-clear flame armor, like a precious gem, dazzling and radiant, making it appear like a god.

This person was none other than Xiao Minghuang!

Her clothes had long since burned away in the high temperature, revealing her perfect body. Her skin was snow-white and smooth, her slender waist could be grasped in one hand, and her breasts were full and proud, outlining a beautiful curve, as if they were made by nature itself, a masterpiece of nature.

Every inch of her skin, or rather every infinitely tiny particle within her body, shimmered with the light of stars, radiating endless mystery and containing astonishing power.

At this moment, Xiao Minghuang sat cross-legged, surrounded by starlight, constantly absorbing the crimson divine light that permeated the room.

Around her, wisps of mysterious runes flowed with unfathomable trajectories, weaving together mysterious chains of order, like a cage, imprisoning peculiar areas and constructing wondrous arrays.

These formations intertwined and merged, forming a massive magic array that was slowly operating.

This formation was created by her to absorb the vast origin of the Fenwang Star Domain.

Suddenly.

Xiao Minghuang's brows furrowed slightly as she slowly opened her eyes, two blazing golden rays shooting out from them, like two scorching suns.

"At this rate, it will take at least 30,000 years to fully absorb the origin of the Fenwang Star Domain!"

She murmured, sensing the changes within her body.

At this moment, she finally realized that she had underestimated the sheer size of the Fenwang Star Domain's origin. Compared to the Dead Star she had absorbed in the past, it was many times larger!

It should be said that they are not even comparable!

Under these circumstances, even a prodigy like Xiao Minghuang, with her extraordinary talent, would not be able to completely absorb it in a short period of time.

Or rather, 30,000 years is a very optimistic estimate.

After all, the origin of the Fenwang Star Domain is simply too vast, as boundless as a star. For ordinary Immortal Kings, let alone absorbing it, even getting close to it is a test.

"No matter what, I'm going to absorb it!"

A resolute glint flashed in Xiao Minghuang's eyes as she murmured to herself.

In fact, she wasn't worried about whether she could absorb the origin of the Fenwang Star Domain.

Rather, they are worried about changes in the external situation.

Although she had already instructed A Yue to help her transfer the Ziwei Star Domain to the New Shanhai Realm, the New Shanhai Realm was not necessarily absolutely safe.

As the great calamity approaches, in order to prevent its destruction, the Heavenly Court will surely do even more heinous things, perhaps even carrying out large-scale extermination of all living beings.

Once it has purged the heavens, it will turn its attention to the star fields.

Once it has pacified all the star fields, it will surely seek power from beyond the universe to sustain itself.

Those are the countless Dead Star in Outer Deep Space.

Previous failures in exploring beyond the territory do not necessarily mean that there is a lack of resources outside the territory.

Rather, it's a lack of sufficient willpower to drive it forward.

Once the Heavenly Court unifies all the heavens and star fields into a single entity, its potential will be virtually limitless.

It was only a matter of time before the Heavenly Court discovered traces of the New Shanhai Realm after venturing deep into the outer realms.

Admittedly, the New Shanhai Realm also harbors powerful beings like the Heavenly Emperor.

However, it must be acknowledged that after the Heavenly Emperor broke free from the control of the Great Dao, it remains an unknown how much of his former power still exists.

Thinking about this...

Xiao Minghuang couldn't help but remember that there was something she still had on her.

She raised her hand, and a scroll appeared in her palm.

"The Immortal Sealing Scroll... what should I do with you?"

Xiao Minghuang looked at the scroll in her hand, a complex expression involuntarily appearing on her face.

She possesses the Immortal Sealing Scroll, and wherever she goes, she will be sensed by the Great Dao Will, which is why she cannot return to the New Shanhai Realm.

Even if that was in Outer Deep Space.

Previously, she kept a low profile, Great Dao Will had not yet noticed her. Now that she has stood openly before the Heavenly Venerables of the Heavenly Realm, she must be extremely careful with her every move from now on.

But.

"Since the Immortal Sealing Scroll is in my hands, it's only natural that I confer titles upon a few immortals..."

Xiao Minghuang's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared in her eyes.

However, there was a hint of murderous intent in that smile.
