Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 666 - 638 10 Years
The Great Emperor Xuanlong spoke, extending his index finger to Wang Xu's forehead.
Unprepared, Wang Xu allowed a wisp of ghostly blue silk thread to emerge from between the fingers and seep into his mind.
Immediately, a massive amount of information unfolded in Wang Xu's mind.
"It's truly the Soul Immortality Technique!" In the blink of an eye, Wang Xu fully understood it, exclaiming in astonishment.
This Soul Immortality Technique, Wang Xu couldn't even categorize it as an Ordinary Secret Technique or a Truth Secret Technique... it seemed to go beyond those categories entirely!
It couldn't even be called a Secret Technique.
"Thank you." Wang Xu expressed his gratitude.
This Soul Immortality Technique was incredibly precious. Once successfully cultivated, a wisp of soul could remain completely imperishable, just like the beings of the Ganges seized by the Supreme Controllers, invincible to any heavenly methods!
"If you truly wish to thank me, listen to what I have to say." The Great Emperor Xuanlong stated.
"Please, go ahead."
"Frankly speaking, your strength is already outstanding in the Eternal Palace, but in my eyes, you are still weak. Wu Yuan can easily handle you."
The Great Emperor Xuanlong said, "There are only four hundred years left before heading to the Pool of Truth. These four hundred years are your last chance to enhance your power. Every increment in your strength increases the chances of our plan succeeding!"
"Your strength is crucial to the plan, to chaos!"
Wang Xu remained silent.
Indeed, the assimilation of the technique had caused Wang Xu's strength to surge, comfortably overcoming the third-ranking Desolate Space from the Dragon Throne, and capable of matching the second disciple among the top three seats.
But what they were about to face was the supremely unmatched, eternally controlling, world-leading Venerable!
The power of the Venerable was terrifying to the extreme, a single glance was enough to make Wang Xu's heart tremble!
He must not be complacent!
"What methods do you suggest?" Wang Xu asked.
"Combat," the Great Emperor Xuanlong succinctly stated, "Only through battle can you truly unleash your potential and become stronger within a mere four hundred years."
"Are you suggesting I confront Senior Brother Wu Yuan?" Wang Xu looked towards Senior Brother Wu Yuan.
"Wu Yuan's strength is a great terror to you, and to survive under his blade, you must be extremely cautious, without the slightest mistake, otherwise, no one can save you!"
The Great Emperor Xuanlong said seriously, "From now on, I give you ten years. You can choose to devour, cultivate, or any method to enhance your strength, but once ten years is up, Wu Yuan will immediately confront you. If you can withstand the time of one incense stick under his blade, you will gain another ten years of cultivation."
"Iteratively, if after four hundred years your strength is still insufficient to carry out this plan, I would rather delay the trip to the Pool of Truth and await another opportunity."
Cultivate for ten years just to survive one incense stick's time under Senior Brother Wu Yuan's blade?
"Ten years."
Wang Xu nodded in agreement.
Ten years, to an ordinary cultivator, would pass in the blink of an eye, but to Wang Xu, it was a race against life and death!
This was not just to make himself stronger, it was also Wang Xu's moment to prove himself!
To Wang Xu, this was a challenge, and he was confident he could accomplish it!
"In ten years, we will meet again."
Having set the ten-year agreement, Wang Xu intended to turn away and return to the Palace of Truth for thorough cultivation.
"No need, with your current strength, the Palace of Truth can offer you limited help. I have a treasure here that can assist you in reaching any location within the Third Layer of the Ganges." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
The Great Emperor Xuanlong flipped his hand, and a palm-sized Seven-Colored Compass appeared in his hand, "I obtained this from an ancient relic of the Ganges, many sought to covet it, but they ended up as its sustenance."
Capable of reaching any location within the Third Layer of the Ganges!
Upon hearing this, Wang Xu's pupils suddenly contracted, amazed at the ability of this treasure.
But the Great Emperor Xuanlong's next words quickly calmed Wang Xu.
The treasure's abilities were against the heavens, but the conditions to activate it were equally divine, requiring the lives of living beings as the energy sacrifice!
"These are the habitats in the Third Layer of the Ganges for numerous monstrous criminals, hiding from the world, committing heinous acts detestable to both humans and gods, their hands stained with countless vengeful souls, but to the Chaos Devouring Fire, they are the best sacrifices!"
The Great Emperor Xuanlong brought out a Golden Scroll, which with a point of a finger, displayed gold characters glowing with blood light in mid-air.
These golden characters listed the names of monstrous criminals, the greater their crimes and the more lives they took, the denser the blood light on their names!
"It seems you have long been prepared."
"The success or failure of the plan concerns both our lives, the more prepared, the better."
The Great Emperor Xuanlong handed both the Seven-Colored Compass and the Golden Scroll to Wang Xu.
Swoosh!
Wang Xu unrolled the Golden Scroll with one pull, and a dense mass of golden characters floated in the air.
"Given your strength, do not presumptuously choose the criminals with the densest blood light. Though not the pinnacle, they are tricky enough to vex even the master of the Blade Seat. You should consider the next tier down." The Great Emperor Xuanlong suggested.
Wang Xu glanced briefly at several names with blood light nearly shooting to the sky, directly skipping over them.
To still survive after slaughtering so many beings, Wang Xu wasn't naïve, and understood these criminals had extraordinary means.
"Red Demon Mountain, the Red Demon Lord."
Wang Xu selected a name with middle-class blood light.
Immediately, Wang Xu extended his hand, pressing the golden characters into the Seven-Colored Compass, which burst into radiant light, forming a ripple-like barrier enveloping Wang Xu.
"Go, and in ten years, we'll meet again," the Great Emperor Xuanlong waved his hand.
"See you in ten years."
Wang Xu nodded, then twisted his wrist, causing the ripple barrier to flare with seven-colored light.
Swoosh.
In a blink, Wang Xu disappeared without a trace.
On the desolate sea surface, only the Great Emperor Xuanlong, along with Wu Yuan and Fu Hong, remained.
"Let's go, we should explore the next Ganges relic to see if we can find the second Truth Matrix, making my plan more certain."
The Great Emperor Xuanlong turned and merged into the void, with Wu Yuan and Fu Hong following closely.
...
Red Demon Mountain.
"Spare us, Red Demon Lord!"
"We've handed over all our treasures, please let us go!"
"We're willing to make a soul oath, never to step into Red Demon Mountain again! Please, spare us!"
"..."
In a desolate area of Red Demon Mountain, the sky was filled with the clamor of pleading for mercy.
Thousands of cultivators knelt on the ground, desperately kowtowing to a robust, big-bellied fat man with red skin seated in the void.
"Gah-ji... Gah-ji..."
The fat man tossed several cultivators aside, opened his huge mouth, and swallowed them whole. Their desperate screams were abruptly cut off, leaving only the horrifying sounds of chewing emanating from his mouth.
This cannibalistic fat man was the Red Demon Lord.
The Red Demon Lord was notorious for his appetite, nearly half of the cultivators caught by him ended up as his food.
For many years, with his formidable strength, the Red Demon Lord had devoured countless beings. To him, the flesh of cultivators was too delicious, making him salivate at the sight.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a figure surrounded by seven colors appeared out of thin air right above the Red Demon Lord.
The appearance of this figure caused the cultivators below to exclaim in surprise, bewildered and unsure of what to do.
The Red Demon Lord also stopped chewing, raised his head, and his crimson eyes stared at Wang Xu.
"Red Demon Lord, as large as a mountain, fond of devouring cultivators, it seems you must be the one." Wang Xu put away the Seven-Colored Compass and the Golden Scroll.
Wang Xu swung a palm, which enlarged with the wind and in the blink of an eye transformed into something as massive as a mountain, exuding an overbearing aura from the dark golden skin!
"Hmm?"
The Red Demon Lord furrowed his brow, thrust his immense belly, and suddenly grabbed an axe to hack at the palm!
But the moment the axe touched the dark golden skin, it bounced off instantly, unable to advance even an inch. Only then did the Red Demon Lord's eyes widen, his entire body surging with blood energy, releasing an earth-shaking momentum!
The Red Demon Lord wielded a red giant axe in both hands, fiercely striking at the dark golden palm!
Yet with just his strength, he was but a large ant before Wang Xu.
"Cackle..."
The dark golden palm squeezed ruthlessly, and the Red Demon Lord, with no resistance, was caught in Wang Xu's grip, the red giant axe shattering on the spot.
"You..."
The Red Demon Lord finally was willing to speak, but Wang Xu seemed disinterested in hearing him out, as the dark golden palm suddenly exerted force.
Squish.
Blood and flesh splattered, and the Red Demon Lord's blood and bones were crushed to pieces.
The cultivators who had been pleading were all stunned.
This all seemed lengthy in words, but in reality, it happened in an instant.
The Red Demon Lord's minions shrieked, fleeing in all directions, no one daring to linger a moment longer.
Wang Xu withdrew the dark golden palm, tossed a blood-red, searing core from his palm into his mouth, while dark golden arms whipped forth from his back like whips!
The minions of the Red Demon Lord were seized back, screaming in terror.
"Sacrifice!"
Wang Xu directly summoned the Seven-Colored Compass, as the dark golden palm pummeled those minions into pulp!
"Master, spare us!"
"Please, don't kill us!"
"We're begging you, spare us!"
"..."
Seeing this, the cultivators were driven mad with fear, desperately kowtowing to Wang Xu, terrified that he might also extend a dark golden arm to crush them into mush as fodder for the Seven-Colored Compass!
With the sacrifice complete, Wang Xu didn't even glance at the cultivators below, once again pressing a name into the Seven-Colored Compass, disappearing as multicolored light flashed.
Ish Snake King.
Gluttonous Demon.
Iron Mother Mansion Master.
Blood Intestine Man.
...
...
Wang Xu traversed the Ganges Realm using the Seven-Colored Compass.
Those with great evil were cautious, hiding deeply, but Wang Xu uprooted them all, using them to enhance his power!
The ten-year deadline flashed by in the blink of an eye.
Above Black Death Green Demon Island, seven-colored light erupted, and Wang Xu's figure materialized out of thin air.
"Your power has increased significantly." The Great Emperor Xuanlong was already waiting.
"Let's go."
Wang Xu took a step forward, and red and white flames immediately ignited all over him, enveloping him in a fiery form!
Wu Yuan stepped up, his hands empty, but his red and green eyes were as sharp as blades! (To be continued.
