Extra: The Mightiest Beings in the Flame Dragon Domain!
"Can Dao Lord... be this strong?"
Countless cultivators in the Scarlet Snow Holy City were shocked and incredulous, especially the powerful figures who had been cultivating in seclusion in the Holy City, including many Four-Step Dao Lord on the verge of Dao Integration, as well as the idle Eternal Emperor of the Dao Alliance.
After witnessing the Scarlet Snow City Lord and his twenty-three Eternal Emperor being killed so easily, these Four-Step Dao Lord and idle Eternal Emperor felt that their understanding of the world had been overturned after countless years.
Lord of the Holy City!
Those are truly super beings who can stand at the very pinnacle of the endless Endless Territories.
Scarlet Snow City Lord might not be able to defeat the Three Great Sovereigns, but they are confident that they can save their lives from the Three Great Sovereigns!
Unless the Three Great Sovereigns are willing to go to any lengths to kill them, it will be very difficult.
Would such a super being be crushed like a chicken?
Was it a Dao Lord who annihilated them?
You must be kidding!
"Could it be that the Changsheng Dao Lord has successfully merged with the Dao and become Emperor? Given his previous strength, if he truly succeeded in merging with the Dao, then he must have reached the Dominator level."
"But it doesn't seem like that. Although he gives me a feeling of being on a higher level of life, he doesn't have the oppressive aura of Dominator that he gives us."
"Why is that? Why is someone who isn't the Dominator so strong? In fact, I feel like he's even stronger than the Dominator..."
The Emperor exchanged cryptic glances, but said nothing more.
Three Great Sovereigns would have to expend enormous resources to kill someone like the Scarlet Snow City Lord, and there's no guarantee of success. Yet Zhou Hao killed the Scarlet Snow City Lord's strongest Dharma Body with just a single stab.
It seems obvious which is stronger and which is weaker.
Suddenly, a shrill scream rang out from the Scarlet Snow Devil Palace.
"The city lord's life lamp, and the life lamps of all the Emperor, must all be extinguished!"
What!?
The life lamp has gone out?
Could it be that not only did the Dharma Body die just now, but also the Scarlet Snow City Lord and the others?
The Eternal Emperor and Dao Lord, who had been discussing the matter, all held their breath.
The Dharma Body contains a trace of divine consciousness, but its soul is much weaker than that of the true deity.
Logically, only when the true body dies will the soul within the Dharma Body perish along with it. The death of the Dharma Body has negligible impact on the true body, and it will not extinguish the life lamp connected to the soul and true spirit.
At most, it's a waste of the treasures used to refine the Dharma Body and the effort put into nurturing it. As for the lost soul, it can be easily recovered.
But now that the aura of the Scarlet Snow City Lord and the Dharma Body has been extinguished and their life lamps have gone out, it means that their true bodies have also perished.
There is only one possibility to explain all of this: Zhou Hao's attack just now contained the most illusory and elusive causal attack.
To think that one could so easily annihilate the Lord of the Holy City through a causal attack... even the Dominator couldn't do that.
In the distant void beyond the Scarlet Snow Holy City, a newly created golden world is stretching out.
One by one, powerful figures stood in this golden world, their thoughts swirling in the same veins as those of ordinary Emperor.
The old man, ' Mangya Sovereign,' dressed in a white robe and with white hair and beard, looked at the two figures standing next to him.
"Minglan, Fengyu," the Mangya Sovereign said in a deep voice, "I am not proficient in the Dao of Cause and Effect. Can you two kill the Eternal Emperor through cause and effect?"
"The weakest Eternal Emperor might be able to do it, but for the level of the Lord of the Holy City... I'm afraid only the lofty ' Supreme ' and the legendary ' Lord Master ', the most powerful being of the Sith Clan, could possibly achieve it," the Dark Minglan Overlord murmured.
In the Cultivator Civilization, the highest level of cultivation is that of the Supreme.
Although the Sith Clan's ' Lord Master ' is weaker than the Supreme, he is absolutely above all Dominator, and his strength is unfathomable.
"He can't be the Supreme, nor can he be the ' Lord Master ' of the Sith Clan."
Before the Fengyu Overlord speak, a silver-haired, black-robed youth suddenly interjected, "He might be Dominator follows the Path of Cause and Effect, merely concealing his aura. Or perhaps, he is an Ultimate Dao Lord follows the Path of Cause and Effect..."
Ultimate Dao Lord?
The Mangya Sovereign, the Minglan Overlord, and the Fengyu Overlord all looked at the young man in black robes.
"The so-called Ultimate Dao Lord is one who has comprehended the complete Dao. For the Ultimate Dao Lord, there is no such thing as a few strongest Daos. The Dao they comprehend is the most complete, representing the ultimate Dao of the entire universe's origin." The silver-haired, black-robed youth's eyes burned with fervor, and his words were filled with fanaticism.
"It was only after learning that Dao Lord possessed energy similar to that of the Sith Clan that I stumbled upon records about the Ultimate Dao Lord while poring over countless ancient texts within the Dao Alliance."
"While Ultimate Dao Lord has comprehended the complete Dao is powerful, it is almost impossible for them to successfully merge with the Dao. After all, merging two or more of the strongest Daos results in Dominator. It is said that no one in our entire Cultivator Civilization has ever successfully merged with the complete Dao."
"Correspondingly, once Ultimate Dao Lord successfully merges with the Dao, their strength can rival that of Supreme. Even Dao Lord on the verge of merging with the Dao can rival the strength of Dominator."
All the figures within the golden world, including the Three Great Sovereigns, held their breath in unison.
Once one successfully achieves Dao Integration, will their strength rival that of Supreme?
Even someone on the verge of achieving Dao Integration can rival Dominator?
Is it possible!?
But the silver-haired, black-robed youth who spoke these words was ' Daoist Qingshi '.
Daoist Qingshi is extremely powerful. Although he is not Dominator, he is comparable to the Three Great Sovereigns and is the strongest in the Dao Alliance today.
Since he said so, and given Zhou Hao's previous display of easily killing the Eternal Emperor like the City Scarlet Snow City Lord, these ancient beings had no choice but to believe him, no matter how unbelievable it seemed.
"The Ultimate Dao Lord, I never expected to see him here. Could it be that the azure mist energy that so closely resembles that of the Sith Clan is because he is the Ultimate Dao Lord?"
The Daoist Qingshi didn't care whether others believed him or not. After clicking his tongue in amazement for a while, he turned to a blond, bald man and said, "Jin Yu, go and invite this Changsheng Dao Lord over for a chat. Judging from his last words, he has clearly discovered us."
"Alright." One of the two leaders of the Dao Alliance, ' Emperor Jin Yu ', nodded and his figure disappeared from the golden world.
On the streets of Scarlet Snow Holy City.
Zhou Hao, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, collected the Dharma Body bodies of the Scarlet Snow City Lord and the other Eternal Emperor.
In a normal battle, even if Eternal Emperor dies, once his divine and immortal power is exhausted, he will not leave behind a corpse.
However, Zhou Hao had directly annihilated their souls and true spirits, which is why he left their bodies behind.
Even the weakest corpse of an Eternal Emperor can rival Eternal Divine Weapon. It can be used to refine magical artifacts or sold, and it would be a considerable fortune.
In particular, these Eternal Emperor of the Scarlet Snow Devil Palace are all great demons with many enemies, and each of them possesses a treasure for life-or-death battles, just like the broken gray spear that Zhou Hao is currently playing with in his hand.
It looked ordinary, yet it caused all the Eternal Emperor who saw this gray spear to change color and feel an instinctive fear.
They all understood that even the slightest release of power from that gray spear would be enough to kill them.
"These bastards are really rich." Zhou Hao flipped his hand and put the gray spear away.
This gray spear was retrieved from the storage treasure of the Scarlet Snow City Lord, and it was also the most precious treasure on the Scarlet Snow City Lord's possession.
The fact that a powerful figure at the level of Lord of the Holy City would regard it as a trump card for risking their life suggests that its value is so high that even the Void Holy City might not be able to match it.
At this time--
"The Changsheng Dao Lord." A voice rang out.
Zhou Hao looked up at the sky.
Then a blond, bald alien appeared high in the sky.
His golden fur shimmered with a hazy glow, and his aura was powerful and magnificent, even surpassing that of the previous Scarlet Snow City Lord.
They've arrived.
Zhou Hao's heart stirred, and information about the most powerful beings in the Flame Dragon Domain flashed through his mind, instantly confirming the identity of the newcomer.
"Emperor Jin Yu," Zhou Hao said calmly.
Even knowing that the other party was one of the two leaders of the Dao Alliance, whose strength and status were even above the eight city lords, he remained completely calm.
He had shown no mercy in killing the Scarlet Snow City Lord and other Eternal Emperor, all to intimidate these old fogies.
If Emperor Jin Yu were to appear and try to coerce or entice like Scarlet Snow City Lord, he wouldn't mind adding another corpse to the ground, even if the other party was the leader of the Dao Alliance.
"The day before, Changsheng Dao Lord killed Zhou Guang Emperor. We were still shocked by the battle scene. We never expected that in such a short time, Changsheng Dao Lord's strength would advance again, and even Feixue would be completely killed." Emperor Jin Yu sighed in a low voice, while his eyes were on the subtle expressions on Zhou Hao's face.
"The one who made the move last time was my Second Primordial Spirit. My main body has been in seclusion and only recently emerged." Zhou Hao knew that Emperor Jin Yu wanted to probe his strength, but he didn't care.
Although the Second Primordial Spirit Asura Avatar, is not as strong as the original body's primordial Force System, it has reached the level of Eternal Emperor, the Lord of Lord of the Holy City, by virtue of having reached the fourth level of the Ultimate Taiji Dao. Even if it is weaker than Emperor Jin Yu, the difference is not significant, so there is nothing to fear.
"I see." Emperor Jin Yu suddenly realized, no wonder Zhou Hao's strength varied so much before and after.
If it was the real Zhou Guang Emperor who killed him, even if Zhou Guang Emperor had Dharma Body remaining in Scarlet Snow Holy City, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to spread the battle scene.
"Changsheng Dao Lord, please come with me. The Three Great Sovereigns of the Flame Dragon Domain, as well as many reclusive Emperor from our Dao Alliance, have all appeared and wish to meet you."
After Emperor Jin Yu finished speaking, a golden world slowly appeared in the distant void behind him.
Zhou Hao immediately spotted three figures that corresponded to the images of the Three Great Sovereigns in his mind, standing in that golden world and nodding slightly at him.
Within the golden world were other figures with equally powerful auras. Zhou Hao only needed to sense them briefly to know that even the weakest among them were ancient beings at the same level as Emperor Jin Yu.
"We should meet him," Zhou Hao nodded.
There's no such thing as being able to guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief for a thousand days.
If a battle is inevitable in the end, his avatars and spiritual Dharma Body left in the Zhou Guang City and the Three Realms will immediately transfer all his relatives, friends and clansmen.
In any case, there are more than a thousand empty Chaos Great World within the Void Holy City, which would be more than enough to relocate all living beings from the entire Three Realms.
"Please."
call.
Zhou Hao and Emperor Jin Yu immediately flew towards that golden world.
Neither of them mentioned the Scarlet Snow Holy City or the Scarlet Snow Devil Palace, whose leader, the Great Demon Lord, was completely wiped out.
Having witnessed Zhou Hao's terrifying strength in killing the Scarlet Snow City Lord and other Eternal Emperor, anyone who still wants to take advantage of the situation to seize Scarlet Snow Holy City is simply courting death.
Inside the golden world.
Nine clouds floated in the center of the world, each with a table upon it, on which were placed precious celestial wines and fruits.
Now, seven powerful beings are sitting cross-legged on the other seven clouds.
Zhou Hao glanced at it.
Besides the Three Great Sovereigns, there was also a man in black robes and black hair, who was one of the two leaders of the Dao Alliance, the ' Black Cloud Emperor ', and he was also in the intelligence information he purchased. As for the other three, they were not recorded in the intelligence information.
Zhou Hao wasn't surprised.
The Three Great Sovereigns and the two leaders of the Dao Alliance are the leaders of the four major forces in the Flame Dragon Domain. They are among the most prominent beings and have the most opportunities to appear. Other ancient beings may not appear even once in tens of millions of Chaos Eras, so it is normal that they are not recorded in the intelligence information they purchased.
"Changsheng Dao Lord, please take a seat." Emperor Jin Yu pointed to the two empty white clouds in front of him.
"Please, Emperor Jin Yu." Zhou Hao's expression softened, and he humbly deferred to him.
As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. Emperor Jin Yu was gentle and polite from the moment he appeared, and the Three Great Sovereigns and other powerful figures present did not seem to have any ill intentions.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Hao naturally wouldn't be aggressive.
The two politely declined each other's offer and flew over together, each landing cross-legged on a white cloud.
"Changsheng Dao Lord..." Emperor Jin Yu had just begun to speak.
Zhou Hao smiled and said, "Emperor Jin Yu, you may simply call me Zhou Hao."
"Haha, good. With your strength, Zhou Hao, it is indeed appropriate to address you as Dao Lord..." Emperor Jin Yu wanted to say that it would be beneath his status, but then realized that it would be inappropriate to say it that way, as it would make it seem like he was looking down on Dao Lord.
Although that was indeed the case in his heart, how could ordinary Dao Lord compare to the monstrous Dao Lord before him who could casually kill the Lord of the Holy City and even make the Minglan Overlord suspect that he possessed Supreme strength?
"Zhou Hao, let me introduce you first," Emperor Jin Yu said, changing the subject. "These three beside me— Mangya Sovereign, Fengyu Overlord, and Minglan Overlord —you must already know them from intelligence reports. And there's no need to say more about our Dao Alliance's Black Cloud Emperor."
The white-robed and white-bearded Mangya Sovereign, the green-haired and green-bearded Lord Fengyu Overlord, the stunningly beautiful Minglan Overlord, and the black-robed and black-haired Black Cloud Emperor all politely raised their cups. Seeing this, Zhou Hao also raised his cup and drank a sip of the immortal wine.
"This one," Emperor Jin Yu pointed to the golden-robed, blond-haired man, "Is almost the longest-living Emperor in our Dao Alliance, named ' Emperor Jinkong,' who once occupied a Holy City a long time ago! However, he later gave up and went into seclusion, rarely showing himself. Nowadays, very few people know about him."
"Greetings, Emperor Jinkong." Zhou Hao raised his cup in a toast.
The Eternal Emperor has an infinite lifespan. As long as he is not killed by someone or risks his life to go on extremely dangerous adventures, it is normal for him to live for hundreds of billions of Chaos Eras.
If Emperor Jin Yu is considered the longest-living Emperor in the Dao Alliance, then Emperor Jinkong's rise to power must have been even longer than that of the Three Great Sovereigns.
"It's just that he lived a long time, nothing to mention." Emperor Jinkong was quite pleased to see Zhou Hao offer him a toast. He pretended to be modest and then readily raised his cup and downed it in one gulp.
"Let me introduce this one next." Emperor Jin Yu pointed to another elegant and noble woman, "This is Emperor Huangqiong. She is the youngest among us."
"Emperor Huangqiong." Zhou Hao nodded in acknowledgment.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou Hao," Emperor Huangqiong nodded slightly in polite response.
Finally, Emperor Jin Yu looked at the silver-haired, black-robed youth and said, "This is ' Daoist Qingshi,' and he is truly the most powerful figure in our Dao Alliance today. Heiyun and I are merely in charge of some miscellaneous affairs of the Dao Alliance; Daoist Qingshi is the foundation of our Dao Alliance."
The number one person in the Dao Alliance?
Zhou Hao looked closely at the silver-haired, black-robed youth.
The Emperor Jin Yu would say this directly in such a setting, and that no other powerful figure would object, clearly indicates that it was not empty talk.
The silver-haired, black-robed youth, ' Daoist Qingshi ', was also looking at Zhou Hao.
Or rather, from the moment Zhou Hao arrived in this golden world, the Daoist Qingshi's gaze never left Zhou Hao for even a moment.
It's just that most other powerful beings are like this, and it's not particularly noticeable.
When their eyes met, Zhou Hao felt a chill run down his spine.
"This person couldn't possibly be..." Zhou Hao couldn't help but mutter to himself.
The gaze of the Daoist Qingshi was simply too intense.
In the original work, it seems that only the Supreme level and the Sith Clan knew about the Ultimate Dao Lord.
Since this is a side story, a lot of plot development has been omitted. I will simply give a brief introduction through the words of the Daoist Qingshi.
Don't take it too seriously, guys.
I'll continue updating tomorrow.
