“How are you… still alive?”
Xia Yu concealed his shock inside the imposing light of the Immortal King, but he almost couldn’t control his voice.
Why was he… not dead yet?
Xia Yu could hardly count how many times he had killed w.a.n.g Lu, but every time, he still came back to life. Even when Xia Yu activated his Immortal Eyes and searched all over Nine Regions and couldn’t find any more clones, he was still alive!
Even in the past campaigns against the other worlds, Xia Yu rarely saw such a bizarre situation. Those who claimed to be unkillable would always have weaknesses. As long their weaknesses were aimed at, there would be no real unkillable enemies. But w.a.n.g Lu now…
“Can’t figure it out? It’s just a little trick, no need to make a fuss about.”
As he spoke, the astral wind in the ninth sky suddenly rolled at a spot, and the twisted air vaguely formed a human silhouette.
The next moment, Xia Yu took a deep breath. His mouth seemed to connect with the endless void, producing a terrifying and frightening sharpness. In an instant, he formed a strong hurricane, which sucked all the air around him into his chest. Even the astral wind in the ninth sky could not escape it. And the human silhouette formed by the astral wind naturally disappeared.
However, w.a.n.g Lu’s voice still lingered in Xia Yu’s ears.
“Pfff! Hahaha! Take a deep breath? What kind of despicable move was that? Is it fun to deceive yourself?”
Xia Yu turned his gaze downward and saw that on the Nine Regions, a towering mountain rose from the ground, and the shape of this mountain resembled a human figure. The head was composed of numerous one meters wide huge rocks. The mouth moved, giving out a dull and mocking laugh.
“Humph!”
Xia Yu stretched out his hand, and an invisible giant palm dropped from the sky, slapping the entire mountain into dust. When the mountain fell, there was a huge opening in the ground at the foot of the mountain, from which the cave wind blew out.
“Tsk, tsk, look at you. What’s the difference between you and a child throwing a tantrum? What a shameful performance by a majestic Immortal King, why don’t you just die?”
The next moment, Xia Yu directly ignited the core of the Nine Regions with his magical power, and immediately, lava spewed out from the cracks in the ground. Then, a cold wind fell from the ninth sky to condense the lava. The cracks in the ground were also filled up in this way, and thus the cave no longer sent out words.
“You Immortal World people really know how to play. But, there’s no Against the World Dragon Pillar anymore, so how long are you going to play like this?”
This time, it was a transparent human figure formed by the twisting air again. Just as Xia Yu smashed the mountain and sealed the ground, the endless astral wind from the ninth sky filled the air again.
“Xia Yu, even if your vision is blurry due to old age, you ought to be able to see what I am now, right?”
Of course, Xia Yu could see it. But, this was actually quite unimaginable.
Even Xiaoyao felt that this was hard to believe, “w.a.n.g Lu, did you… fuse with the Nine Regions?”
The astral wind around him brought out the laughter of w.a.n.g Lu.
“Yes, with the help of the Burning Blood Great Array of Nine Regions, I have sacrificed my own blood to the Nine Regions. From now on, I am the Guardian Spirit of the Nine Regions. Fear me now?”
Xia Yu sneered, “From a living person to a dead spirit, what are you trying to boast here?”
“Dead spirit? Hahaha, my mind is now clearer than ever, straddling across the whole continent. In any case, I’m more like a living person than trash like you who have been struggling at the death’s door for one hundred thousand years.”
“Hmph, I don’t need to teach you the difference between men and spirits. Since you incarnated as the spirit of Nine Regions, then you will perish with this land!”
“The birth and decline of all things is the supreme principle of heaven and earth. You have been struggling at the death’s door for one hundred thousand years, and it looks like you are still in a state of decline. Moreover, you talk so much, could it be that it’s your guilty conscience?”
Xia Yu simply shut up and stopped talking. He was no match for w.a.n.g Lu in a verbal battle, even when he was tens of thousands of years younger. Now that w.a.n.g Lu had integrated himself with the Nine Regions, it was indeed a wonderful move. Although it could be said that he sacrificed his own life, he could use amazing power in a short period of time. Moreover, the most important thing was that he couldn’t be killed at all. As long as Nine Regions were not destroyed, he would not die.
However, previously, the Against the World Dragon Pillar, which could destroy the Nine Regions, was completely destroyed under the bombardment of the Non-Phase Celestial Cannon. With Xia Yu’s power, it was not impossible for him to single-handedly destroy the world. However, the gain was not worth the cost.
Things had indeed become a bit tricky. w.a.n.g Lu chose to sacrifice himself to become the spirit of Nine Regions, which was tantamount to creating a singularity for this world out of thin air. Before the great purge, the Immortal World repeatedly tried several incursions into the Nine Regions, but they never came with their main force. This was because they were afraid that one day, a singularity would suddenly appear in the Nine Regions.
The so-called singularity was originally used to refer to the starting point of the creation of all things. In the Wilderness Age, when the primal chaos first began, it was said that countless worlds started from a singularity. Later on, the singularity was referred to as the starting point of the world’s activation—the great thousand worlds. Inevitably, some worlds tended to be active; the entire world would gradually have the characteristics of life and eventually possessed the will of the world.
Nine Regions, as the most ancient world among the thousands of worlds, had long been equipped with all the conditions to generate the will of the world. Millions of years later, the laws of heaven and earth that maintained the operation of the Nine Regions were still rigid.
Many people in the Immortal World believed that the Nine Regions really had its own will at a very early time—as early as the Wilderness Age. At that time, the Nine Regions were terrifyingly tyrannical. The great sages who received the favor from Nine Regions appeared one after another. And any of those sages had the strength beyond the Immortal King. However, everything had its ups and downs. With the pa.s.sage of time, the will of Nine Regions gradually declined. At present, the land had long since became a corpse, which was not to be afraid of.
When the Immortals first arrived in Nine Regions, they were surprised to find that they could control many laws of the Nine Regions freely. They could even control the Nine Regions’ providence. This was simply inconceivable. Any world who had even a little bit of self-respect and self-love would not let outsiders freely control its providence. Unless that world had no self-consciousness, then the others could trample on it.
Nine Regions were dead. Thus, others just needed to guard so that it did not produce singularity, where it could come back from the dead. To this end, the Immortal World had been cautious enough. However, unexpectedly, at the last moment, someone actually integrated himself with the Nine Regions and became this frightening singularity.
However, unfortunately, this awakening came too late. If he had become the spirit of Nine Regions twenty years ago, the arrival of the Immortal World would be nothing but a fantasy. They wouldn’t have been able to break through the crystal wall of s.p.a.ce. But now, the Nine Regions had been riddled with holes, the Southern Heaven Region had been completely destroyed by the Against the World Dragon Pillar, and the shadow of its destruction had spread all across the continent along its veins. Moreover, just now, the Blood Burning Great Array and the bombing from the Non-Phase Celestial Cannon had hurt its muscles and bones. What w.a.n.g Lu just seized now was a piece of continent on its deathbed, powerless to make a comeback.
In silence, Senior Immortal Xiaoyao suddenly asked, “w.a.n.g Lu, why you? If Nine Regions only need a guardian, then someone else can do it, and it can be anyone. So, why must you?”
w.a.n.g Lu said with a smile, “Why not me? Who else is there beside me? In the name of the Lord of Light, I have sacrificed hundreds of millions of lives, so should I be alone at the end? When sacrifice is needed, the leader should take the lead, this is the way to win. To a certain old c*ck who s.h.i.+vered in fear during a certain fierce battle and only came out to claim the victory after the overall situation has been determined, this is probably incomprehensible to him.”
When he heard this, Senior Immortal Xiaoyao was stunned for a long time. And then, gradually, a smile appeared on his face.
Although currently the Nine Regions were still at a disadvantage, with such an enlightened guardian spirit, was there a reason for the Nine Regions to lose?
The face of the Immortal King was gloomier than ever.
