Chapter 255: The Gaze of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor
As long as he can successfully break through the threshold of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, the four Quasi-Immortal Emperors at the end of the darkness will no longer be sharp blades against his throat.

At the very least, he has the strength to compete. The Old Man of Destruction can increase his combat power to the peak in a short period of time, but this state cannot last long.

The further you advance in your cultivation, the harder it becomes to break through the realm, and it's not just the difficulty that increases.

Another point is that once the breakthrough fails, all kinds of backlash will follow.

Why would a person who sells fake medicine divide himself into six parts and put them into the elixir? It's because he encountered big problems when he tried to become an emperor, so he had to create the method of splitting himself into six parts.

This was also a helpless move. Dividing the body into six parts was an attempt by Emperor Lu, who sold fake medicine, but in fact he had no choice but to do so. This was the only way he could go.

And the butcher, he almost died tragically!

These are the sequelae of a failed breakthrough. It would be fine if you can break through in one go, but if you fail, the chance of death is very high.

Otherwise, after countless epochs in the heavens, there are not many who can reach the peak of Immortal King, but there are definitely more than just a few butchers. Why have those people disappeared now? In the final analysis, it is because they failed to break through and were backlashed to hurt the origin of the Dao and disappeared in the long river of history.

In the past, the old man who destroyed the world also tried to break through to the Immortal Emperor by force. Unfortunately, his foundation was insufficient and he ultimately failed. The reason he was able to survive was that by chance he found the Corpse Immortal Emperor and obtained a part of the Emperor's Scripture from him. This allowed him to stabilize his injuries and survive.

But even so, he completely cut off his path to becoming the Immortal Emperor, and over the years, his condition could never return to its peak.

The current old man of destruction is actually very similar to the self-destructive supreme being in The Great Ruler, both of them possess the ability to sublimate to the ultimate state, but the cost of doing so is extremely high.

Therefore, the old man who destroys the world, whom Feng Xi is most worried about, is actually the most stable. He will not come out unless it is absolutely necessary.

Moreover, unless he is at his wit's end, the old man of destruction cannot make up his mind to reach the ultimate state of sublimation and increase his combat power to the limit.

As time passed, Feng Xi had been feeling the changes in himself in the small world. He was still transforming and moving towards the peak of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor. This speed was very slow for him.

But to Willow God on the side, this speed really made her feel exaggerated. She could feel that Feng Xi's life level was slowly becoming extremely perfect, as if it was about to reach the end of the road, which was what countless creatures yearned for.

In addition to the good news in the small world, there is also constant good news in the heavens.

Under the leadership of powerful fighters such as the Butcher, the Man Who Sells Fake Medicines, the Burial Master, and Shi Hao, the number of Fallen Immortal Kings is decreasing.

Especially after the chickens recovered from their injuries and joined the battlefield, this advantage was further expanded.

It is true that Immortal Kings are constantly falling in the heavens, but the situation is indeed moving in a positive direction, because the Fallen Immortal King is being killed and collapsed again.

The war lasted until the point of 20,000 years, when the wind direction changed again. The army of the Fallen Immortal King gained reinforcements, and the people at the end of the sea boundary seemed to have noticed the changes in the heavens, and another large army rushed out from the sea boundary.

This time, an extremely powerful being appeared. It was a nineteen-headed monster formed by the fusion of nineteen monsters.

It is very strong, no weaker than any of the butchers, the people selling fake medicine, etc.

The number of the Fallen Immortal Kings already held an absolute advantage, and now the advantage shifted again, and the dark side began to overwhelm the heavens.

But this situation did not last long, and Zhutian stabilized the situation again because Shi Yi and others broke through the supreme realm one after another.

With such combat power, no matter which side it is, as long as there is one more person, it will be a huge advantage.

Not to mention, there are two more people on the side of the heavens. Shi Yi and Tianzi have risen, and both have stepped into the supreme realm. They are strong enough to be respected and overlook the realm of Immortal King. Even giants are no longer difficult to deal with in front of them.

In fact, even Feng Xi did not expect the current war situation. In fact, he expected that after the war among the heavens for 20,000 years, he should have come forward to sweep the war.

But I didn’t expect Zhutian to be so resilient. I was almost unable to withstand it several times, but I managed to hold on in the end.

During the first major crisis, the heavens were almost destroyed and a man selling fake medicine came out. He joined forces with the butcher to stabilize the situation and hold back the Fallen Immortal King.

The second time was when Yangji joined the game with great force. With his own serious injuries, he forced Zangzhu, the sixth brother, to lose his seat and choose to join the battlefield.

This was a turning point on the battlefield. If in the past, even if there were butchers and people selling fake medicine in the world, they could only defend themselves, then after the Lord of Undertaker joined, the situation began to improve. Although they were still not evenly matched, at least they could fight back.

Although the one who raises the chickens is a woman, she has a very strong mind. She is a woman who raises the phoenix as if it were a chicken. She is unwilling to surrender to darkness and become like the Fallen Immortal King one day.

So even though she knew the situation in the heavens was tense, she still went out into the world. In that battle, she was besieged by seven or eight fallen immortal kings, including three from the giant realm.

She was almost killed. At the last moment, Feng Xi made a hidden move, asked Shi Hao to rescue her, and gave her a large amount of Thunder Tribulation Divine Liquid, which brought the chicken farmer back from the brink of death.

The reason why the chicken farmer joined the game was to use herself as a chess piece and pull the King of Burial and the Master of Burial into the game, although she did this for the sake of burying the soil and did not want to get caught in both ends.

However, because her actions did greatly increase the strength of the universe, Feng Xi could not bear to see any accident happen to such a person.

In the end, everything was happy. Zangtu joined the game, along with dozens of burial kings and the burial master of the Emperor Light Immortal King, to resist the dark turmoil.

Later, Shi Hao achieved the peak of Immortal King, and the strength of the heavens was finally equal to that of darkness. The fighting power of both sides finally reached a situation where they were almost the same for the first time since the war began.

In this way, the battle situation was dragging on, with one side taking the stage after the other, and the two sides had the advantage over each other continuously until now, and are still in a stalemate.

War is a catalyst. In this battle, many lives were lost, including many Immortal Kings. Although there is no clear statistics, it is conservatively estimated that dozens of Immortal Kings were destroyed.

These are only the ones who fell on the side of the heavens. As for those on the dark side, no one cares and no one knows the details, but the number is no less than that of the Immortal Kings who fell on the side of the heavens.

Calculated in this way, the number of immortal kings who fell on both sides is enough to match the total accumulated in an immortal realm for countless epochs.

But every sacrifice has its reward, and the brutal war is also a rare test in the ages.

The second best in the world, the Taoist Immortal Gold, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, the Immortal King of the Blue Sky and the three Burial Kings, as well as some immortal kings in the heavens who had stayed in the realm of the supreme immortal king for a long time, finally took this opportunity to become the existence of the giant realm.

In the past countless epochs, there was not even one living being in this realm. However, in just tens of thousands of years of war, more than a dozen giants were born.

Of course, Feng Xi’s contribution was part of this. Although he said that he would let the Immortal Kings fight on their own, he would not really ignore it completely.

Although he did not take action, he did not hesitate to take advantage of the invisible benefits.

He gave at least one-tenth of the supreme treasures such as Thunder Tribulation Liquid to Shi Hao, asking him to distribute it to the Immortal Kings who participated in the battle so that they could save their lives at the critical moment.

With something to save his life, and after going through a round between life and death, he naturally gained endless insights and strengthened his own Taoism. "The Immortal King battlefield is definitely going to be undecided in a short period of time. Will the Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor just watch this, or will he choose to take the initiative to attack?"

Willow Goddess withdrew her gaze. Every few years, she would look across the entire universe and pay attention to every battlefield, even the quasi-immortal king battlefield, so as to calculate the outcome of the war.

This time, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhutian did not show any signs of defeat.

"If the enemy comes, we will fight back with soldiers; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. Even if the Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor attacks now, we don't need to worry too much. Because of their arrogance, they lost the best opportunity." Feng Xi said with some ease.

Now that his Taoism has greatly improved, he is confident that even if the four dark quasi-emperors attack at the same time, and Willow God can block one, he can resist the other three.

If the Four Dark Quasi-Emperors cannot bring him down quickly, then this war will be like the battlefield of the Immortal Kings and will definitely be dragged into a tug-of-war.

When it comes to a protracted war, Feng Xi is not afraid. With the Thunder Tribulation Liquid as a constant source of energy, he can fight the enemy for a long time.

His ease was so obvious that Goddess Liu could clearly feel it from Feng Xi. She couldn't help but relax a lot as well.

"It's good to have confidence. After being suppressed for so long, I finally have the strength to resist."

"Yes, after being suppressed for so long, I finally have the strength to resist."

After Feng Xi sighed softly, his mind sank into a strange space. Now he was infinitely close to the peak of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and the realization of the Immortal Emperor realm was also within reach, only one step away.

Soon, he will be able to get a glimpse of the realm of the Immortal Emperor.

……

The darkness is endless, crossing the boundary sea.

Over the sea, only those ancient temples glowed, connected with each other by divine rainbows, forming a great road.

Apart from that, nothing can be seen, not even the sea boundary. It is as dark as ink, and even with the eyes of heaven it is difficult to see through it all.

At the end of the darkness, time and space are disordered and the years pass by, as if it does not belong to the human world. The light of the future is shining and the fragments of marks of the past are flowing, which is unimaginable.

With a thump, as if the eternal drum of heaven was beating, a dull sound was heard, and a road broke through the darkness and emerged in front.

The ancient temple is connected to form a road.

And there, there appeared a gray dam, stretching across the front, which really looked like the other side of the world.

A huge dam served as a barrier, and behind it seemed there was a vast territory.

However, it was pitch black there. Even a quasi-immortal emperor standing here could only see a vague outline. The laws here were different and very complicated.

Behind the dam, the dark land is truly worthy of its name. It is as black as ink with no end in sight, as if one has arrived at the edge of the universe.

There is no vitality here, and no vital energy flowing. It is dead and dull, like a kingdom of death.

The most terrifying thing is that the laws here are completely different from those outside. The laws here are so terrifying that even if the Immortal King comes here, his strength will be greatly suppressed.

There are many corpses of living creatures here, their bodies are cold and motionless. Some are as big as mountains, while others are the height of normal humans.

There is no doubt that they were giants who, by chance, managed to climb onto the embankment, but they did not take many steps and ultimately died.

They were pilgrims and pacifiers of riots, and no one knew whether they saw the gods they came to worship or the greatest villain of the tragedy that has ever occurred.

There is a great terror here. If the Undertaker had not been cowardly and ran back to the heavens to hide in the jar, he would probably be one of these people now.

At the deepest part of this world, there is a quiet land, filled with weirdness and ominousness. A black aura of death is spreading, and there are some bands of black fog lingering on the mountains.

This mountain is so majestic, many times larger than the stars we usually see. It stands in front of us, blocking the way forward.

Continuing to look forward, there is an endless sea of ​​bones, mostly snow-white, like a blanket of snow that has submerged the world, and it is particularly glaring in the darkness.

Of course, there are bones of other colors in the sea of ​​bones, such as gold, black, and purple, but compared to the white bones, they are only a minority after all.

There is no doubt that these are the skeletons of living beings. They were once extremely powerful, but now they have fallen. Not only that, even their bodies are not preserved. Only a piece of white bones remains to prove that these people existed.

This makes people very terrified, because all the creatures that can come here must have extraordinary cultivation.

Logically speaking, the bodies of such strong people are indestructible. Even if they die and have fallen for countless epochs, their bodies will not dissipate, but will always exist in the world.

But now, their bodies have dissipated, and even the bones left behind are just superficial. The essence of their flesh and blood has actually disappeared long ago, and will completely dissipate as long as a gust of wind blows.

In fact, this was indeed the case. Suddenly, a breeze blew, and the bones on the top disappeared after emitting a faint glow.

This wind was obviously not simple either. It blew away not only the bones, but also the dark mist here.

Amid the rolling mist, a huge palace complex appeared. It was very ancient. In the front of the ancient palace, stood a huge stone tablet with very ancient words on it.

The words contained a strange power. If a living being really came here, even if they didn't recognize it, they would understand the two words written on it just by standing in front of it...

Heaven...

At this moment, a terrifyingly powerful aura rose up from the hall. The hall seemed to come alive, and a gaze seemed to extend from it, extremely cold and majestic.

"Interesting, he didn't come to find me, which is different from the last time. Is it because he doesn't dare, or is it because the world is not chaotic enough now?"

"... Add fuel to the fire. I don't believe that a Heavenly Emperor who is believed in by all the Heavens would allow an endless war to destroy the entire Heavens."

"If you don't come, I guess I'll have to condescend to come..."
