Chapter 1601 - Immortal Kings in Action

The Immortal Kings couldn’t allow anyone else to swoop in and steal the prize they had risked so much to secure. Clearing the area of outsiders was only to be expected.

In truth, this was nothing more than a routine procedure. With so many Immortal Kings present, it would be downright shameful if an Immortal Platform cultivator somehow ended up taking their spoils. They’d sooner bash their heads against a wall than suffer that humiliation.

Being Immortal Kings, their confidence bordered on arrogance.

The rogue cultivators who were relatively closer had no choice but to retreat far away from the battlefield. After all, trying to argue with a bunch of Immortal Kings was no different from asking them to kill you. Once the fight truly broke out, the aftershocks alone would be more than they could possibly endure.

After the crowd retreated, the Immortal Kings didn’t wait any longer and made their moves one after another.

Even from fifty thousand kilometers away, Chen Fan could still feel the terrifying ripples set off by them when they unleashed their full power.

Rumble!

A deafening explosion came from afar, as if the sky were caving in and the land itself was sinking.

𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Radiant divine light shot upward from the point of impact, tearing through the heavens instantly, like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting in fury.

Wave upon wave of devastating shockwaves spread outward, annihilating everything in their path. A few opportunists who had refused to retreat far enough away met with tragic, instant deaths.

Even when located fifty thousand kilometers away, Chen Fan’s clothes still snapped violently in the raging wind of those shockwaves. His law power circulated on its own, forming a protective barrier around him.

He could still sense the terrifying aura. His eyes contracted fiercely; these Immortal Kings truly deserved their reputation.

He had once crossed paths with an Immortal King and, with a scheme, even severed Xuan Gan’s arm. That experience helped him remain composed in the face of their current display, in stark contrast to the dumbstruck crowd.

For those rogue cultivators, Immortal Kings were supreme beings, like gods. Under normal circumstances, it was virtually impossible to encounter one. Their knowledge of the Immortal King realm came mainly from written accounts and hearsay.

Ninety-nine percent of people had never seen an Immortal King before, so they had no gauge of their might. Now, watching from afar, they finally gained a rough, instinctive understanding.

Countless immortal wills of the Immortal Platform realm experts filled the sky instantly.

“Heavens, so this is the power of an Immortal King. It’s truly terrifying! The aura alone makes me tremble with fear!”

“Exactly. The gap between the Immortal Platform realm and the Immortal King realm is so unreasonably vast. I must become an Immortal King as soon as possible. Then, no Immortal Platform expert would be a match for me. Only an Immortal King truly counts as someone worth fearing.”

“Hoho, the Immortal King realm isn’t something you ‘decide’ to step into. Without overwhelming talent, abundant resources, and a colossal opportunity, entering that realm is nothing but a delusion.”

Even for those who stood at the higher stages of the Immortal Platform realm, opportunities to see reclusive Immortal Kings act were incredibly rare. The Chaotic Demon Sea was currently in a relatively calm state. The great powers still occasionally clashed, but Immortal Platform cultivators were enough to resolve most conflicts.

Once Immortal Kings intervened, it meant the situation had escalated beyond mediation. That level of confrontation was tantamount to open war between top-tier factions.

Furthermore, minor forces would never dare antagonize the king-level forces, and factions of similar status usually followed established rules, avoiding reckless Immortal King–level battles.

As a result, very few rogue cultivators witnessed Immortal Kings in action.

Thus, the rogue cultivators still gathered even though they clearly knew that they had almost no chance of obtaining the Demon Suppression Tower. They were here to witness Immortal Kings in person and behold their overwhelming might.

Besides, the rogues had already harvested substantial benefits on the sixth level. If they could somehow trail along into the seventh level, they might obtain even more opportunities.

That was especially true for martial artists who had been stuck in the peak Immortal Platform realm for many years. They have been waiting for this opportunity, an opportunity for them to advance into an Immortal King.

Although most of the loot would fall into the hands of the king-level forces, the rogue cultivators were content as long as they could use this event as a springboard to ascend into the Immortal King realm.

Boom!

Another deafening explosion rang out like the sea overturning or mountains collapsing. Heaven and earth were engulfed in a blinding white flash. Heaven and earth boiled like a cauldron of water brought to a raging boil.

The major forces were protected by their respective Immortal Kings, but the others retreated in disarray. A single misstep could easily cost them their lives.

Over twenty Immortal Kings had joined forces, so how terrifying would that be? The mountain range covering that massive beast was shattered on the spot, reduced to powder.

All kinds of law between heaven and earth were manifested and flickered violently.

The Immortal Kings’ usage of the laws had already reached a pinnacle level.

Everyone watching them was dazzled. While terrified, they also became certain.

After receiving such a terrifying attack, that massive beast should be dead, even if it was indeed a creature from the primordial era. There was no way it could survive that.

However, a furious roar that shook heaven and earth rang out.

“

Roar

!”

Everyone’s faces froze in shock.

That enraged bellow sounded like the cry of a god. From a distance, they saw space itself buckle and collapse beneath the force of that roar, as if endless air and bound laws were being shredded.

Everyone knew that the slumbering massive beast had awakened!

Their expectations collapsed instantly. Instead of being slain in its sleep, the massive beast had endured the combined strike. A chill ran through every heart.

This was beyond terrifying. More than twenty Immortal Kings had attacked together, yet the creature still lived.

It was unbelievable!

The crowd gawked at the blinding expanse of white light, where countless divine radiances churned violently. Many didn’t even dare to open their eyes, afraid the brilliance alone would destroy their vision.

Suddenly, a piercing shriek rang out.

“

Ah

!”

It came from a female Immortal King realm expert. After that scream, silence followed.

The crowd’s nerves instantly tensed up.

They had already felt the terror of an Immortal King. That miserable shriek earlier clawed at their hearts like a ghost.

Could it be that an Immortal King realm powerhouse had perished?

Chen Fan activated his Eye of Breaking Deception, piercing the layers of stirring divine light, and finally saw what lay beyond.

An enormous claw had seized a female Immortal King and crushed her instantly, her body exploding into a mist of blood.
