Chapter 2559 Heavenly Punishment

In the secret room of the fairy palace.

The Immortal Emperor Taichu's expression returned to indifference.

"What a waste!"

"It's a pity that most of the Netherworld Immortal Courts are now useless, and there are too few who are truly useful."

The Immortal Emperor Taichu shook his head slightly.

When the Divine Emperor Jiuyuan failed, he did have the urge to kill him.

But here's the thing.

It is easy to kill a Jiuyuan Divine Emperor.

But after killing the Nine Abyss Divine Emperor, the Netherworld Immortal Court had one less person to use.

Seven hundred and twenty heavenly generals.

In the eyes of Taichu Immortal Emperor, the number of people who can truly be used can be counted on one hand.

Compare.

The Divine Emperor Jiuyuan is already considered the tallest among the short ones.

With the vision of Taichu Immortal Emperor, he could see that Jiuyuan Divine Emperor's own foundation had almost accumulated to the level of a half-step Immortal King.

Moreover, even among the Half-Step Immortal Kings, one needs to be a strong existence.

Such a monk.

Among all the heavenly generals, his cultivation is enough to rank first.

This is also the reason why the Immortal Emperor Taichu would tolerate the other party.

The Immortal King does not come out.

Half-step Immortal King is the pinnacle.

Now, the Immortal Emperor Taichu has bestowed another drop of blood from an ancient immortal beast, which is enough to further enhance the strength of the Divine Emperor Jiuyuan.

Although it is not possible to directly break through to the Immortal King realm, it should not be a big problem to actually reach the end of the Half-Step Immortal King realm.

After all.

The ancient immortal beasts are not comparable to those of the powerful.

Even a drop of blood from such a ferocious beast contains tremendous power.

Of course.

Everything is relative.

For the Taichu Immortal Emperor, a drop of blood from an ancient immortal beast would not have much effect.

If it is a complete corpse of an ancient immortal beast, or a large amount of blood essence of an ancient immortal beast, that is another matter.

But if it is just a drop of essence and blood, its actual effect is limited.

This is why.

There is another reason why the Immortal Emperor Taichu bestowed his essence and blood instead of using it himself.

Think about this.

Taichu Immortal Emperor looked towards the direction of Fengdu, and his eyes became much colder.

"In the past hundred years, the fortune of the dark camp has changed a little. They have launched wars frequently. I am afraid they have some plans."

"But it will be soon. Once I take the last step, no matter what the dark camp's purpose is, I will be able to defeat it with my own strength!"

Before this.

The Immortal Emperor Taichu must first weaken the luck of the dark camp.

This is also the reason why he asked Jiuyuan Divine Emperor to go to Fengdu later.

The situation in Fengdu is not optimistic now. The Temple of Samsara has launched a full-scale counterattack, putting the Netherworld Immortal Court at a disadvantage.

If there is no strong support, the Netherworld Immortal Court will probably suffer a complete defeat in Fengdu.

Compared with the situation in Jiuyao Province, Taichu Immortal Emperor naturally attaches more importance to the situation in Fengdu.

after all.

Behind the Temple of Samsara.

It was the Lord of Darkness who was standing there.

It would be a lie for Taichu Immortal Emperor to say that he was not afraid of that mysterious being famous in the upper realm.

Even if Ji Qian was reborn, in the eyes of Taichu Immortal Emperor, no one was more feared than the Lord of the Netherworld.

After all.

Although Ji Qian can exert the power of the Immortal Emperor as a half-step Immortal Emperor, the Dark Forbidden Lord is an eternal existence, so how can he not make the Immortal Emperor Taichu feel fearful.

and so.

The current unusual movements in the dark camp may be related to the Dark Lord.

This way.

The Immortal Emperor Taichu will naturally give priority to dealing with the dark camp.

Among the dark camp, the Temple of Samsara is the most powerful. In addition, Fengdu is the center of the Nine Provinces and Eight Wildernesses, and is also the most prosperous place.

If this place could fall under the control of the Netherworld Fairy Court, the fortune of the Netherworld Fairy Court would surely soar.

other places.

Even the land of two states may not be comparable to Fengdu.

Give up the idea.

The Taichu Immortal Emperor continued to refine the immortal stones and quietly restored his own cultivation.

After more than a hundred years, and with the help of a mid-grade immortal stone to assist in his cultivation, he is now only one step away from restoring his ancient immortal cultivation.

This line.

It is possible that a breakthrough can be achieved in the next moment, or it may take hundreds or thousands of years.

But no matter what, Taichu Immortal Emperor knew that it would not take long for him to break through to the ancient immortal level.

-

The Netherworld Fairyland.

The Heavenly Palace.

The Divine Emperor Jiuyuan is now taking the essence and blood of ancient immortal beasts. Powerful life energy bursts out from his body. The terrifying life energy nourishes his body, and the meridians and bones in his body are now undergoing some drastic changes.

Meridian transformation!

Derived from flesh and blood!

In the past, the Nine Abyss Divine Emperor also condensed his physical body, but it was ultimately just the power of his soul and was not as good as a real flesh and blood body.

But as the essence and blood of the ancient immortal beast entered his stomach, the Divine Emperor Jiuyuan seemed to have completely reversed the yin and yang, life and death. Even above the Netherworld Immortal Court, there was a terrifying calamity cloud condensing.

Somewhere.

The Divine Emperor Jiuyuan sensed the existence of the calamity cloud.

next moment.

"boom!"

A calamity from heaven struck down.

The Immortal Palace formation rose up, but it was unable to hold off the heavenly calamity for long, and was completely reduced to ashes under this force.

The Divine Emperor Jiuyuan took a step forward and looked at the approaching calamity clouds with a somewhat solemn expression.

“This is not the Immortal King Tribulation!”

"It is the heavenly punishment caused by the reversal of the cycle of yin and yang!"

There is only one word difference between heavenly calamity and heavenly punishment, but there is a world of difference between the two.

Under divine punishment.

A narrow escape from death.

Of course.

Heavenly punishment can be strong or weak.

Although the heavenly punishment that has appeared now makes the Jiuyuan Divine Emperor feel threatened, it has not yet reached the point where he is completely unable to resist.

It is true that heaven’s punishment is powerful.

However, after refining the essence and blood of the ancient immortal beasts and re-condensing his flesh and blood body, the Jiuyuan Divine Emperor has become even more powerful.

The moment the heavenly punishment came down, the Divine Emperor Jiuyuan took direct action.

"boom--"

The vast power of heavenly punishment spread out, alarming many powerful beings in the Netherworld Immortal Court.

When they saw the appearance of the Heavenly Punishment and the figure of the Jiuyuan Divine Emperor fighting against the Heavenly Punishment, their faces changed again and again.

No one expected the appearance of divine punishment.

but.

What shocked them even more was that they could feel the breath of flesh and blood from the body of Emperor Jiuyuan.

"All the Netherworld monks are undead spirits. To cultivate a body of flesh and blood is to reverse the cycle of yin and yang. No wonder there is a heavenly punishment!"

There was a veteran strong man with a serious expression, who could tell the origin of the heavenly punishment at a glance.

Although divine punishment has come.

But with the strength that Emperor Jiuyuan has shown now, a mere punishment from heaven may not be able to do anything to him.

as predicted.

As the Divine Emperor Jiuyuan threw a punch, the clouds of heavenly punishment suddenly dissipated, and a powerful aura emanated from him, causing the faces of many powerful men in the Netherworld Immortal Court to change again.

However, Emperor Jiuyuan did not pay attention to so much. With a thought, the Immortal Palace that was destroyed by the heavenly punishment condensed again. He stepped into it and began to recover the losses caused by the heavenly punishment.

Heavenly punishment is different from heavenly calamity.

If a cultivator is going through a realm-breaking heavenly tribulation, then once he has passed through the heavenly tribulation, he can obtain the power of the heavenly tribulation to nourish himself, but heavenly punishment is different.

Heavenly punishment is a punishment from the rules. If you cannot survive the heavenly punishment, you will die. Even if you survive the heavenly punishment, you will be seriously injured. As for the so-called benefits, there will be no such thing.

But having said that.

The Divine Emperor Jiuyuan was also satisfied.

Refining the essence and blood of the ancient immortal beast, and re-condensing his flesh and blood body, just as the Taichu Immortal Emperor said, now there is a bit of the blood of the ancient immortal beast in his body.

strictly speaking.

This kind of ferocious beast bloodline is not the truly complete ancient immortal bloodline.

but.

So what if my bloodline is defective?

The blood of ancient immortals is the blood of ancient immortals. Even if it is only a fraction of the blood, its level is not comparable to that of ordinary blood.

Not to mention.

After refining this drop of essence and blood, Emperor Jiuyuan's cultivation had reached its peak.

If he had only vaguely touched the threshold of the Immortal King when he took the ancient magic pill before, then now, Emperor Jiuyuan has truly stood at the gate of the Immortal King realm.

It seemed that as long as he stretched out his hand and pushed, he could open the door to the Immortal King realm and truly become an Immortal King.

Of course, Emperor Jiuyuan was also very clear that this feeling was just an illusion. Even if he really stood at the door of the Immortal King Realm, it would not be so easy to push open that door.

After all.

The transformation from a powerful being to an Immortal King is a huge transformation.

To truly achieve transformation is by no means an easy task.

But at this point, the difficulty of truly breaking through to the Immortal King level is not as great as that of other Half-Step Immortal King levels.

Jiuyuan Divine Emperor felt that as long as there was a battle in which he truly gave his all, perhaps he would be able to use the pressure of the battle to truly take this last half step.

"It's a pity that His Majesty has ordered me to do so. Otherwise, I would have returned to Qingxi Prefecture to avenge my previous humiliation!"

Even without the Emperor Sword in his hand, with his current strength, Emperor Jiuyuan has the confidence to suppress everything.

This is because his current realm has truly reached the end of the Half-Step Immortal King.

Looking at the Netherworld, the Nine Provinces and the Eight Wildernesses, even the Four Ghost Emperors, who are known as the strongest beings under the Immortal King, are now looked down upon by the Nine Abyss Divine Emperor.

Although Jiuyuan Divine Emperor wanted to avenge his previous humiliation, he also understood that the orders of Taichu Immortal Emperor could not be disobeyed.

If the other party can give you an opportunity, they can also take it away directly.

and so.

After realizing this, when Jiuyuan Divine Emperor had fully recovered, he went to meet Taichu Immortal Emperor again, and then set off for Fengdu.

……

“The peak of half-step immortal king!”

"If the Immortal King doesn't come out, no one in Fengdu will be able to be a match for Jiu Yuan!"

Looking at the departing figure of Emperor Jiuyuan Divine Emperor, Immortal Emperor Taichu pondered secretly.

He did not give the Emperor Sword to the other party again.

Very simple.

The Emperor's Sword is of great importance.

Once such a magical weapon is lost or any accident occurs, it will be a huge loss for the Taichu Immortal Emperor.

Asking the other party to carry the Emperor Sword to Qingxi Mansion was also something that Taichu Immortal Emperor had considered for a long time.

now.

Since Taichu Immortal Emperor took the Emperor Sword back, it was naturally impossible for him to give it back to Jiuyuan Divine Emperor.

In fact.

With Jiuyuan Divine Emperor's current cultivation level, it makes no difference to Taichu Immortal Emperor whether he has the Divine Sword in his hand or not.

As long as the Immortal King does not come out, no one in the Nine Provinces and Eight Wildernesses should be able to rival the Nine Abyss Divine Emperor.

The peak realm of Half-Step Immortal King.

A portion of the bloodline of an ancient immortal beast.

The combination of the two is enough to make Jiuyuan Divine Emperor qualified to look down on any cultivator below the Immortal King.

However, as soon as this thought came to mind, a figure in green clothes appeared in Taichu Immortal Emperor's mind. (End of this chapter)
