Chapter 1167 - 249: On the Eve of the Final Battle, Stockpiling Shadow Crocodiles

Chapter 1167: Chapter 249: On the Eve of the Final Battle, Stockpiling Shadow Crocodiles

The Sun Moon Su Yuniang, with her true form, along with the Dao Yueniang triplets, appeared before us.

"Master, we just went to discuss with Master Jiumu Qing, and she decided to let us set sail with the immortal ships, continuing to participate in the battlefield as a neutral transport fleet, while providing healing support and trading positions."

After listening to the description, Ning Zheng frowned: "Our Xirong faction’s immortal ships, aren’t you afraid of the attacks from the avatars of the Immortal Venerates’ laws?"

The Sun Moon Su Yuniang said, "Our Ghost King Hall’s warship series has already reached the standard of an ordinary True Immortal Seventh Layer."

"On the battlefield, those who can threaten us are already few, except for a small number of top-tier True Immortals and when the Immortal Venerates themselves descend as avatars of laws."

"If we are attacked, Master Jiumu Qing expressed she would descend with her Dharma Aspect."

Ning Zheng instantly understood the implication.

The Immortal Realm and Netherworld clash fiercely; their top-tier True Immortals attack our immortal ships, while our Immortal Venerates’ Dharma Aspects descend.

Unless the other side’s Netherworld Immortal Venerates or avatars of laws descend, aren’t they afraid of the other Immortal Realm Immortal Venerates seizing the opportunity to surround and kill them?

So this is a matter of strategic intrigue, both sides are in a standoff and dare not take action.

The main reason is still that the Dharma Aspects of the Nine-State system hold a special position, not afraid of being killed, and even if they die, it doesn’t matter; the strategic significance is greater.

"Indeed, we should show our faces too, as we have Master Jiumu Qing’s Dharma Aspect to suppress." Ning Zheng decided to let them go, "Your strategic department can decide on your own; those ten immortal ships will be under your command."

Lately, we’re still too short on money.

The artist grabbed 200 billion from us.

It was hard to seize the prehistoric era, earning a huge sum, only for Jiumu Qing to devour it all.

Plus, with Ning Zheng himself crazily consuming resources recently, Xirong is like a bottomless pit, impossible to fill!

I need to speed up making money.

Moreover, in my own plan, I need to have a second Immortal Venerate...

This Immortal Venerate’s energy level, that is another astronomical figure.

I also need to create 100 True Immortal-level Shadow Crocodile avatars, riding atop new mounts, yet again an astronomical figure.

A hundred True Immortal-level Shadow Crocodile avatars!

My ultimate form is clearly a thousand True Immortal Dharma Aspects, with a hundred people riding on a Jiumu Qing!

This scene is bound to be awe-inspiring.

"The blissful troubles!" Ning Zheng took a deep breath and let the restless Sun Moon Su Yuniang go about her business.

Ning Jiaojiao has also picked up bad habits now, wandering around all day with Su Yuniang.

Children grow up, that’s normal.

...

After dealing with the affairs of the manor, Ning Zheng restarted his cultivation.

He discovered that being a Beast Tamer indeed has its advantages.

When a single divine beast breaks through to the Immortal Venerate, the wealthy lead the not-so-rich, which will lead him, the Master, to experience the Law Domain of the Immortal Venerate.

It equates to immediately possessing a law avatar that True Immortal-level entities like Mo Mei must risk everything to obtain through wild adventures.

"Awesome!!"

After practicing for just a while, Ning Zheng felt his cultivation path had a clear plan.

His rate of breakthrough was slowing down, but with time acceleration, it still takes years, perhaps decades, to break through a single realm.

For the ordinary True Immortals with lifespans of hundreds of thousands of years, this is incredibly fast.

But Ning Zheng didn’t see it that way.

"A single Jiumu Qing beast can accelerate my enlightenment, just get a batch of Jiumu Qing Immortal Venerates."

Ning Zheng didn’t think this was difficult.

With assembly-line operations, all I need is a new Jiumu Qing embryo!

I hope the Thunder Fire Extinction assassin, who is so good at tracking by scent, brings me good news.

...

Elsewhere.

After the two law avatars of Bottle-Storage Immortal Venerate converged, they heard the scandal outside and were so angered that even his Tao injuries flared up!

Xi Rong, Xi Rong!

You are simply a beast.

The Bottle-Storage Immortal Venerate felt like he was going to suffer a brain hemorrhage.

He put in so much effort and what did he get? Forget about the hoard of plundered wealth; after the escape, it benefited Xi Rong.

Even bore a heap of notoriety on behalf of the other side.

And I went to seek out my mentor, who used extremely precious treasures to help me restore three law avatars.

The outcome... was nothing!

Not only did I get nothing, but also lost my family fortune!

"Moreover, Jiumu Qing, her combat power is absurd." Bottle-Storage Immortal Venerate mused, finding it exaggerated.

It seems there’s only one realm for Immortal Venerates, essentially all are the same level post-breakthrough regardless of when.

But in reality, the gap is massive.

My hard power cannot break through, but I can stockpile soft power.

Combat techniques, weapons, enlightenment of various divine techniques, and combinations, all have immense developmental potential.

Even if I only had four law avatars left at the time without immortal treasures...

I still wouldn’t think the newly-broken-through Jiumu Qing, who only knows punching, was my match. She seemed like a mage capable of only close-quarters combat, devoid of spells.

But the result was a slap in the face.

Her domain could cycle, could flow.

She was unafraid of my attack, engaging in tit-for-tat against an old man already heavily injured.

This led to her utterly overwhelming me upon our first clash.

A glimmer of hatred flashed in Bottle-Storage Immortal Venerate’s eyes: "She definitely reconstructed her foundation, but how did she do it, awakened? I never imagined the Ghost King had such means!"

But awakening, how easy could it be?

As for him, Bottle-Storage Immortal Venerate, he would never dare to commit suicide, gambling to live a second life.

At this moment, Bottle-Storage Immortal Venerate felt both suffering and despair, finally regretting that he perhaps shouldn’t have provoked that mad dog...

Now he could only make a comeback, but it was extremely difficult.

There’s no second prehistoric Immortal Venerate investing in him and spending treasures, and every other Immortal Venerate was trying to catch him, wanting to refine him into an Immortal Treasure.

Where does my future lie?

He questioned himself, in his confusion, started silently divining.

Soon, the results of various divination routes turned out poorly, a gloomy future, mostly dead ends.

But there was still some opportunity available.

He followed the divination result and looked towards the so-called opportunity:

The core disciples he saved, Xin Xichen and others.

"Are they my opportunities? If I continue to lead them, do I still have a hope of surviving?"

Bottle-Storage Immortal Venerate sighed deeply.

He initially thought there might be a traitor among Xin Xichen and others.

Although their actions didn’t pose any problem, being exposed by Xi Rong at that time could also be an accident...

But he always felt something was off.

Now divination cannot lie, they are indeed where my opportunities lie.

He sighed, looking at the ragged disciples like Xin Xichen, who were fleeing: "Thank you for your hard work, now the whole world is condemning our Bottle-Storage Civilization."

Xin Xichen showed a look of resentment, "Master, we still have hope. Through three thousand years of insane cultivation in high-dimensional space-time, we have reached True Immortal level!"

"Our future has great potential!"

Bottle-Storage Immortal Venerate thought about it and agreed, his batch of disciples had improved quite quickly, the future could be promising.

...

...

Thus, several days passed.

As the projection from the Time Ancient Tomb completely closed, the instance ended, and the Immortal Realm and Netherworld resumed their interdimensional war.

Battles continued across different fields.

Though it seemed that many had died, several Immortal Venerates had just broken through, replenishing both sides’ foundations with no real losses, keeping the battle blazing.

Yet the intensity of the war became even more exaggerated, with Law Avatars of Immortal Venerates frequently stepping in and providing support across various battlefields.

According to prior experience of fights between the two realms.

The intensity of the battlefield escalates gradually, each level deploying forces, eventually seeing who can’t resist personally deploying their true self to turn the tide...

This Dark Forest, everyone carries guns as a Hunter, waiting for you to deploy your true self, ready to ambush.

Moreover.

The most crucial point is that as the war progresses, the entire battlefield completely leans towards the Immortal Realm.

The Immortal Realm primarily focuses on defense, repelling invasions, their defense line began to shrink.

The current Immortal Realm is like a massive castle in the void, surrounded by a wall built from over a hundred worlds, guarding this great city.

Meanwhile, seeing the Immortal Realm’s forces retreat, the Netherworld pulled its worlds together, forming vast land outside the Immortal Realm’s walls, leading armies to prepare for a siege.

An epic siege battle was about to commence.

On the walls, Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals could be seen patrolling day and night.

Outside the walls, Netherworld fortresses were amassing troops, crafting weapons to breach the walls.

Both sides’ generals were constantly challenging each other from a distance.

At this moment, an Immortal Ship continuously arrived.

"Although it’s unclear what hidden plots the Immortal Realm and Netherworld’s Immortal Venerates have, it doesn’t matter! They can plot theirs, we fight ours!" Su Yuniang shouted at Jiumu Qing Immortal Venerate: "Master, this is how we’ll stealthily chop, stealthily chop them down, using your Shadow Crocodile to burst their gold coins!"

"Back in Xinyi Continent City, we fish in troubled waters like this."

"The sieging side and defending side clash, we use the Shadow Crocodile to continuously cut them down, eventually accumulating a supergiant combat power, even able to threaten the core battlefield."

Su Yuniang’s brows danced with joy.

Their warship’s arrival was long planned.

The Shadow Crocodile’s toxin inherently ignores realms, and now Jiumu Qing had reached Immortal Venerate-level Shadow Crocodile toxin!

Chopping individuals down, amassing into a bubble giant entity, could soon wield Immortal Venerate combat power.

Could even recreate the majesty of the Super Shadow Crocodile Giant in Xinyi Continent City, sweeping through disasters!

Jiumu Qing’s Dharma Aspect also hid in the shadows, revealing a contemplative look: "Other’s Law Avatars would absolutely not dare to hide inside an Immortal Ship like me."

"Because if this Immortal Ship encounters an accident and gets attacked, it exposes the position of this Law Avatar, becoming targeted easily."

"But I am different, my Dharma Aspect fears no death, can directly hide within the Immortal Ship."

During Jiumu Qing’s contemplation, he continuously shot out one black cannonball after another from the Immortal Ship, attacking other distant armies.

Then each Shadow Crocodile silently fell, merging into his Immortal Ship.

"First-time kill, huh."

She thought of the blacksmiths’ words.

In outsiders’ eyes, it seemed the Immortal Ship was merely firing attacks, never imagining she was secretly snowballing, accumulating Shadow Crocodile avatars inside.

Jiumu Qing smiled subtly, "These people, really are dirty."

Despite being unwilling to serve as Xi Rong Manor Master’s Divine Beast mount, Xi Rong Manor Master’s Shadow Crocodile power indeed held endless potential, for the essence of the Shadow Crocodile virus was to drop Soul Bubbles, Soul Shells... this Xi Rong Manor Master’s Divine Techniques, were fundamentally about creating a large number of Embers!

This wave of first-time kills, make it feared soon entire world will know the terror of Shadow Crocodiles, and proactively prepare for defense!
