Reinforcing Second Under Heaven and the Immortal Gold Daoist-even Immortal Kings wanted to play dirty
"Senior Golden Horn, how many Immortal King-level experts are still left in the Primeval Ancient Realm? Where are they fighting now, and against whom?" Qin Feng asked.
He could not change the course of this great upheaval. The Foreign Realm had already invaded, the Primeval Ancient Realm had shattered, and its Immortal Dao Laws no longer existed.
So what Qin Feng needed to do now was preserve as much of the Ancient Realm's Immortal King-level fighting strength as possible.
This was also something the Immortal Domain was happy to see. It wanted the Ancient Realm to retain enough fighting strength to resist the Foreign Realm's attacks and serve as a buffer for the Immortal Domain.
That would give those within the Immortal Domain more room to grow, allowing more Immortal King-level experts to emerge in the future. During the great dark upheaval, only Immortal King-level experts could protect an entire great world.
Other beings at the True Immortal level were nowhere near enough. They did not even qualify as rank-and-file soldiers.
A single weapon belonging to an Immortal King, once it broke through a world's barrier and smashed inside, would bring about a great annihilation. Even True Immortal-level experts would die, while those in the Human Dao Domain would perish in swathes.
The Immortal Domain had allied with the Primeval Ancient Realm back then precisely so the two realms could join forces against the darkness in the future.
The Primeval Ancient Realm had four Immortal King giants: True Dragon, Willow Deity, Wuzhong, and Six Paths. Those qualified to rise to the rank of giant included Second Under Heaven, the Immortal Gold Daoist, the Immortal Monk King, and the Thunder Emperor. In giants and fighting strength, it was not at all inferior to the Immortal Domain.
Together, the two realms would have more than a hundred Immortal King-level experts. With those brought back from the Boundary Sea when the time came, they would have well over two hundred.
In the calculations of the Immortal Domain's kings, a dozen or so giants and more than two hundred Immortal Kings would be enough to deal with any disaster.
Unfortunately, those Immortal Kings had no idea how powerful the enemy they faced truly was. The Foreign Realm was merely an experimental ground.
Even if the Primeval Ancient Realm was not shattered by the Foreign Realm, as long as it failed to produce a Quasi-Immortal Emperor-level expert, no number of Immortal Kings would matter to the Dark Immortal Emperor's side.
They only needed to dispatch a single nine-headed monster to slaughter them all.
Only people such as the Butcher and the Burial Master could handle beings on the level of a nineteen-headed monster.
"Alas! Countless kings of the Ancient Realm have fallen in battle. The first to fall were the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King and Immortal King Wuzhong. After them, the Thunder Emperor and the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass of the Primordial Ten Fiends were surrounded and killed.
"Then came the Immortal Monk King, the True Dragon King, the Azure Lotus Immortal King, and the Black Tortoise King. All of them fell in battle. The Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit is in the Boundary Sea and hasn't returned, but we've received word that she'll be back soon. She'll return within a few decades at most.
"Second Under Heaven and the Immortal Gold Daoist are resisting the Foreign Realm's attacks in the Border Wasteland. We don't know how things stand there now.
"When we came here to support you, an Immortal King-level battle was raging over there. Kunpeng should still be alive, but she's only a Quasi-Immortal King."
"Why don't we head over to reinforce them now? With the fighting strength the three of us have now, we should be able to turn the battle around for them," the Golden Blade Immortal King said.
Hearing this, Qin Feng began considering whether to reinforce Second Under Heaven and the Immortal Gold Daoist. Their fighting strength was indeed terrifying, and preserving them would be crucial to future battles. Even if they were gravely wounded, they could establish forbidden zones. At least they would have a chance to recover, rather than being battered into ruined remnants as they had been in the original timeline.
"All right! Then we'll reinforce Second Under Heaven and the Immortal Gold Daoist first." Qin Feng made a swift decision, settling on supporting these two Pinnacle Immortal Kings.
"Husband, you'd best not take part in this battle. Giants may very well appear there. Going could put you in danger," the Heavenly Phoenix Immortal King said.
"On the contrary, I think bringing Qin Feng would help us. Don't forget that his chaos space can reflect attacks from Immortal King-level experts.
"At a critical moment, it could catch them off guard," the Golden Blade Immortal King said.
In their earlier battle against the giant-level Immortal King, Qin Feng had played the most crucial role. Otherwise, by the end of the fight, the three of them would either have had to flee or been killed.
And that was with the giant already on his last legs. Otherwise, the three of them probably would not have lasted a hundred exchanges before being defeated and killed.
The Heavenly Horned Ant nodded in agreement as well. After all, since fusing with that world origin seal, the lad's fighting strength was no longer inferior to a True Immortal's. Combined with the concealment offered by his chaos space, he was qualified to enter the battlefield.
"Once Kundi returns, he'll certainly reveal some information about Qin Feng. At the very least, the Foreign Realm's Immortal Kings will all know that Qin Feng can reflect Immortal King attacks.
"If they deliberately plan for it and control their weapons, those weapons won't be reflected. This sort of tactic will work once at most. Once they know how it works, they won't fall for it a second time," the Heavenly Phoenix Immortal King said.
"Don't worry! With me on the battlefield, they'll hesitate to strike for fear of hitting what they shouldn't. They won't dare launch ranged attacks and will have to rely on their weapons to fight head-on. But you can still use ranged attacks. I can collect your attacks, then unleash them when they least expect it.
"I'll hide in my chaos space without showing my face the entire time. They won't know what's happening," Qin Feng said with a smile.
After learning the advantages of his chaos space, Qin Feng had grown bolder. First, it would be his clone launching the surprise attacks, so it did not matter if it was killed. Second, his chaos space was an ultimate safeguard-and there was even a mighty figure sleeping inside!
He had once feared Immortal King-level experts, but no longer.
"All right, then! Oh, husband, there's something I'd like to ask. If we hide inside your chaos space and launch ranged attacks, can you transfer those attacks outside?"
"In theory, yes, but it'll take some maneuvering," Qin Feng said.
With his current strength, he should be able to support two or three Immortal Kings hiding in his space and launching surprise attacks.
"Then how about this? I'm not good at fighting head-on. Why don't I hide in your chaos space with you and use my zither music to launch surprise attacks? What do you think?" the Heavenly Phoenix Immortal King suddenly asked, blinking.
Hiding somewhere to launch ranged attacks was both safe and efficient. Why not?
I'm only a zither player, anyway. I don't want to fight anyone head-on.
"Ahem, well, I can also use my golden blade to unleash golden blade energy for ranged attacks."
"My fists can launch ranged attacks too."
The Old Heavenly Horned Ant and the Golden Blade Immortal King both declared that they were also very fond of surprise attacks.
Once their cultivation reached the Immortal King level, every one of them had grown cunning with age. Who would willingly risk their life unless they had no other choice?
"Hahaha! Great minds think alike! In that case, we'll all play dirty on the battlefield this time and ambush the Immortal Kings," Qin Feng said, laughing heartily.
Even Immortal Kings are going to play dirty with me now. Underhanded is exactly how we'll do it.
