280: Flower and Fruit Immortal KingEmperor Ancestor Dynasty, Immortal Heaven Hall.

In the vast imperial hall, only the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign and the Imperial Tutor sat opposite each other, casually playing a game of chess.

”Sovereign, you’re not going?” The Imperial Tutor spoke, placing a piece.

The Emperor Ancestor Sovereign shook his head, ”Not needed anymore. I now possess the Seven-Colored Immortal King Body, and my comprehension of the Law of Time has long reached the limit of an Immortal Lord. All that remains is the final immortal soul.

Once my immortal soul becomes pure and flawless, I will proceed to trigger the Immortal King Tribulation.”

Speaking of this, he looked towards the location of the Exquisite Dao Land, ”But from the looks of it now, that Monkey-head will likely trigger his Immortal King Tribulation before I do. However, I don’t know if he can successfully undergo it.”

He was also very curious. Since the Ancestor King left a decree back then, claiming a new Emperor Ancestor Immortal King would be born, he should have already considered the problem of the Immortal King Tribulation.

But... it wasn’t that he looked down on Sun Wukong; he genuinely believed that Sun Wukong’s mere few hundred years of experience fell far short.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have considered the idea of forcefully seizing the Immortal King Position.

The power of an Immortal King level held in the hands of an immature Soul would be a disaster for the continent.

But now it was different. He already possessed the Seven-Colored Immortal King Body, making him half an Immortal King.

That fellow, Immortal Lord Linglong, also seemed to be hiding something.

Of course, the most crucial factor was Qin Jiang’s existence.

This was genuine Immortal King combat power, sufficient to suppress a newly ascended Immortal King.

Thus, all matters were secure.

Moreover, the Gates of Hell were about to open now. Who knows how many Immortal King-level existences would emerge then.

At that time, Sun Wukong would be one of the important combat forces.

Exquisite Dao Land, within Linglong Hall.

Sun Wukong’s figure hovered in mid-air, his imposing aura continuously climbing. In the blink of an eye, it broke through the boundary of a Late-Stage Saint Lord and surged towards the Immortal Lord realm.

In just a few breaths, it broke through the great realm of Immortal Lord once again.

Half a quarter-hour later, it had already surpassed the conventional extreme of an Immortal Lord, reaching a level comparable to the Array Dao Heavenly Sovereign who had laid down a Peerless Grand Array.

At this moment, everyone inside the hall was watching, and even some Saint Lord Level existences across the continent were observing this place, wanting to know if he could truly cross that barrier.

Immortal Lord Linglong couldn’t help but feel some surprise. She hadn’t expected the power contained within that cluster of Immortal King Origin to be so immense, pushing Sun Wukong to a level comparable to a Heavenly Sovereign while still retaining nearly ninety percent of its strength.

However, mere accumulation of power is insufficient to ascend to the supreme realm of Immortal King.

Just as she gently shook her head and sighed, her gaze abruptly changed, looking upwards above Linglong Hall.

”Crack, crack.”

Sounds like shattering glass echoed within the hall. Cracks appeared on the dome of Linglong Hall, and from those cracks, golden-jade colored radiance emanated.

”Boom!”

The dome shattered. A torrent of golden jade crashed down, instantly pouring into Sun Wukong’s body.

Simultaneously, the golden-jade torrent split into countless thin threads flying inside and outside the great hall.

Those inside the hall landed on those who had previously set up tribulations for him. The thickest few branches fell upon Eastern Journey and his companions, and upon Immortal Lord Linglong.

In an instant, Immortal Lord Linglong almost couldn’t suppress the impulse to trigger her own Immortal King Tribulation, but she quelled it the next moment.

”This is...”

A look of understanding dawned in her eyes.

So that’s how it was. No wonder the Eastern Journey was necessary. It was for this moment, to use boundless Karma power to replace the Immortal King Tribulation.

Since ancient times, legends have said that those possessing great Karma receive the protection of Heaven and Earth, allowing them to break through realms without Undergoing Tribulation.

Yet, who would have thought that even the Immortal King Tribulation could be bypassed using this method.

As the golden-jade torrent surged into Sun Wukong’s body, that cluster of Immortal King Origin also began to truly exert its power.

The two forces converged within Sun Wukong’s body, but they did not repel each other. Instead, the Karma power acted like kindling, burning away and facilitating the Fusion of Sun Wukong’s power with the Immortal King Origin.

Half an hour later, Sun Wukong’s figure had already floated up to mid-air. That Immortal Lord aura, inflated to its extreme, finally breached a certain barrier like a bursting floodgate. The majestic pressure of an Immortal King pressed down like a blanket over heaven and earth; everyone felt as if they were carrying an ancient divine mountain on their shoulders.

A flash of exquisite light passed by. Everyone felt the weight on their shoulders lighten, gaining a new understanding of Immortal Lord Linglong’s strength.

Immortal Lord Linglong looked at Sun Wukong in mid-air. The power of the Immortal King level was perfectly harmonious and smooth, having completely integrated into one.

Around Sun Wukong’s body, wispy, feather-like radiance emanated.

This was precisely the symbol of Immortal King power: Feathering.

Within the Chang Sheng Sword Sect, Qin Jiang watched quietly. Back when Xia Yu attempted to break through to the Immortal King realm, this phenomenon had also appeared.

”This... he’s already become an Immortal King?”

Hua An looked at the light screen somewhat incredulously. Actually, there was no need to watch the screen. Across the continent now, from Immortal Lords down to the lowliest insects, all living beings felt that majestic Immortal King pressure.

”Compared to a normally broken-through Immortal King, it’s somewhat inferior, but it’s still genuine Immortal King power. It will just take a few months to fully master it.”

Qin Jiang spoke. If an extreme Immortal Lord were to break through to Immortal King, they wouldn’t create such a grand spectacle.

Not that they couldn’t, but there was no need.

The reason Sun Wukong caused this phenomenon was actually because he couldn’t perfectly control this power yet and needed time to familiarize himself with it.

In the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty, the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign, having refined Karma power before, looked somewhat surprised towards the direction of the Exquisite Dao Land.

”One can actually break through realms using this method? Truly worthy of being the Ancestor King.”

The Imperial Tutor nodded slightly, ”Never mind that for now. Think about how we should address the little monkey. We can’t really just give away the title of Emperor Ancestor Immortal King, can we?”

Although Sun Wukong was considered half a member of the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty and was the Fated One designated by the Ancestor King...

No matter what, the title ’Emperor Ancestor Immortal King’ held special significance. How could it be allowed for someone else to take it as their title?

The Emperor Ancestor Sovereign also frowned slightly, but then his expression relaxed as he shook his head with a smile, ”We’re overthinking it. Even if you personally tried to give him the title of Emperor Ancestor Immortal King, he might not accept it.”

The Imperial Tutor was stunned for a moment, then understood and chuckled wryly, ”I’m getting old and muddled. Immortal Kings dominate their era, each one an existence of utmost pride. Why would they use the title of an ancient Immortal King?”

As soon as the words fell, a vast voice shook the heavens. Sun Wukong’s voice spread in all directions.

”From this day forth, I am the Emperor Ancestor Immortal King.”

Inside the hall, the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign and the Imperial Tutor froze. They looked at each other, their eyes gradually widening.

Just as they were about to do something, they heard a sharp rebuke ring out, followed by another vast, booming voice.

”The previous declaration is void! From this day forth, I am the Flower and Fruit Immortal King!”

Several days later, Exquisite Dao Land.

Immortal Lord Taiyin walked into Immortal Lord Linglong’s Heart-Nurturing Hall. ”Miscalculated this time, didn’t you?”

Hearing this, Immortal Lord Linglong smiled, picked up a grape, and put it in her mouth. ”It was just a casual move on the board. It’s best if it isn’t needed.”

She had received the gift from the Emperor Ancestor Immortal King and promised to help Sun Wukong step into the supreme Immortal King realm.

Originally, she thought the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign would take forceful action to seize it, so she gave the nine luminaries star nucleus to Immortal Lord Taiyin.

Firstly, to mend their relationship; secondly, to avoid exposing her true strength when dealing with the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign.

Immortal Lord Taiyin was already just one step away from condensing an Immortal King Body. Once she condensed it, with two great Immortal LordsSiege, their surface-level strength would be sufficient to deal with the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign.

But she had miscalculated. Or rather, she had underestimated the methods of an Immortal King. She hadn’t expected the little monkey to directly become an Immortal King.

”Well, I don’t care. You’re the one who miscalculated, not me failing to help. I don’t owe you any favors anymore!”

Immortal Lord Taiyin glanced at Immortal Lord Linglong, her voice lacking some confidence.

”It was I who owed you. You don’t owe me anything.” Immortal Lord Linglong said with a smile.

Immortal Lord Taiyin’s expression shifted. After a while, she spoke again, ”Let’s not talk about that. I’ve prepared the items and the map that Immortal Lord Qin asked for, and I’m about to deliver them. Do you want me to take yours along?”

”Since when have you become so diligent?” Immortal Lord Linglong chuckled lightly.

”Hey, you! I’m not using it as an excuse to come see you! Don’t get the wrong idea!” (End of Chapter)
