Perfection: The Eastern Emperor Bell manifests, I am the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 54 Seven Quasi-Immortal Kings

He must use this time to become strong enough to deal with the true "strangulation" from the source of darkness.

Lu Xuan closed his eyes again, his Daoist aura completely merging with the Chaos Bell, plunging him into a deeper level of enlightenment.

The ancient Fusang tree swayed in response, showering down endless solar essence, and the laws of the entire Golden Crow territory pulsed with his breath.

The focus of all the heavens has now turned to him alone.

The storms of the future will arise because of him, and will be resolved because of him.

The river of time flows ceaselessly; in the blink of an eye, millions of years have passed.

Since the end of that earth-shattering three-way war, after Lu Xuan used his supreme divine power to seal the Primordial Gate and force back the alien realm and the dark giants, the Immortal Realm, the Primordial Ancient Realm and their alliance have ushered in an unimaginably long period of peace.

The alien and dark creatures on the other side of the boundary sea did not immediately launch a devastating retaliation as expected.

They were like wounded beasts lurking in the shadows, licking their wounds and harboring a deeper, more terrifying hatred.

Only the occasional sporadic frictions and probing from the depths of the border sea remind the world that beneath the surface of peace, undercurrents still surge.

During this rare period of peace, thanks to Lu Xuan's leadership, the alliance's resource sharing, and the complete inheritance from the prehistoric world, the strength of all forces has been steadily increasing.

Among them, the Golden Crow Clan of the Immortal Realm has developed the most rapidly.

The Immortal Realm, deep within the Sun Star, the ancestral land of the Golden Crow.

The ancient hibiscus tree today is no longer the withered tree it once was.

Its trunk is as thick as a mountain range, its branches cover the sky and the sun, and each leaf seems to be formed from pure solar fire essence, burning with an inextinguishable golden fire.

The extremely rich solar essence transformed into tangible golden spiritual rain, constantly irrigating this clan's land.

Within the clan's territory, the palaces and pavilions were magnificent and imposing.

The young Golden Crow descendants transformed into streaks of golden light, weaving and practicing among the ancient tree branches and leaves, their cries clear and melodious, their bodies surrounded by powerful solar fire, some of which possessed the aura of True Immortals or even approaching the level of Immortal Kings.

However, beneath this thriving prosperity lies an indescribable anxiety.

However, it spread among the higher-ups of the Golden Crow Clan, especially among the most dazzling prodigies.

"Om-"

A powerful aura surged into the sky from the ancient Sun Cave deep within the ancestral land, stirring up a myriad of resonances, and causing the Sun Star to resonate as well.

Another dazzling "great sun" rose from the cave, its light shining brightly, surrounded by laws, and its pressure reached the pinnacle of the Quasi-Immortal King level!
"It's Brother Lu Yu! He's out of seclusion!"

"My God, this aura... it seems even more refined than that of Brother Lu Yan when he broke through a hundred years ago!"

"This must be our clan's seventh Quasi-Immortal King! That's astonishing!"

In the clan's territory, countless Golden Crow clansmen looked up, their eyes burning with fervor as they gazed at the descending figure—Lu Yu, one of the most outstanding prodigies of the Golden Crow clan in the present era.

After 300,000 years, he finally stepped into the realm of Quasi-Immortal King, with a solid foundation and extraordinary aura.

Lu Yu transformed into human form, a handsome young man with a sharp look between his brows.

He felt the surging power of a quasi-immortal king within his body, but there was not much joy in his eyes; instead, a trace of heaviness flashed across them.

He flashed and appeared in the central square of the ancestral land.

Six figures were already waiting here. Their auras were either as fiery as the sun, as deep as an abyss, or as agile as the wind, but without exception, they all exuded powerful Quasi-Immortal King fluctuations.

These six are the other six Quasi-Immortal Kings born by the Golden Crow Clan over the past millions of years! They are the future hope nurtured by the clan with endless resources.

"Congratulations, Brother Lu Yu, on taking another step forward in your path to immortality." The leader of the quasi-immortal kings was named Lu Huang, the first to break through to the quasi-immortal king level, and his aura was the most unfathomable.

Lu Yu returned the greeting with a cupped hand, his gaze sweeping over his brothers and sisters, and said with a wry smile, "Congratulations? The seven of us are all quasi-Immortal Kings, seemingly enjoying boundless glory and a thriving clan... but that insurmountable barrier is still far beyond our reach."

The atmosphere in the square froze instantly upon hearing this.

Yes, seven Quasi-Immortal Kings!

With such a foundation, looking across the Immortal Realm today, apart from the Golden Crow Clan with Lu Xuan in charge, and a few other forces like the Panwang Family with its equally profound foundation, who else can compare? This is enough to make any force envious and jealous.

However, the Celestial King!

That obstacle, like an invisible shackle, bound them tightly.

For millions of years, the Golden Crow Clan has produced many outstanding talents, including seven Quasi-Immortal Kings. However, none of them have been able to truly ignite the Nirvana Dao Fire, cross that final step, and achieve the true Immortal King status.

"We have already accumulated enough knowledge, and we believe our understanding of the Great Dao of the Sun is quite profound. We have even witnessed the chaotic imprint left by His Majesty at the beginning of creation..."

A female quasi-immortal king sighed softly. Her name was Lu Xuan, and she had a cold and aloof demeanor.

"But every time I try to break through to the King Realm, I always feel that there is an invisible barrier in the dark, which is indestructible, as if... as if this world will no longer allow a new Golden Crow Immortal King to be born."

“It’s not that Heaven and Earth forbid it.” A hoarse yet dignified voice rang out.

The old Golden Crow King walked over, leaning on his cane. He looked at the seven most outstanding descendants of his clan, his eyes filled with both satisfaction and deeper worry.

"It's cause and effect, it's fate, and perhaps... it's also a kind of 'obstacle'."

The old Golden Crow King slowly said, "His Majesty... is too strong."

He looked up at the palace shrouded in chaotic energy at the very top of the Fusang Ancient Tree, which was where Lu Xuan had secluded himself for cultivation.

"His Majesty uses the Chaos Bell to suppress all the heavens. His Dao and methods have already surpassed those of ordinary Immortal Kings, reaching a level that is difficult for us to comprehend. He alone carries almost all the fortune and brilliance of the Great Dao of the Golden Crow Clan in this era. You grew up under the protection of his light, but you also unknowingly lived in the shadow of his 'Dao'."

"To break through to the King level, it's not just about accumulating power; it's also about forging one's own 'path.' A path... one that isn't completely covered by His Majesty's Great Dao, a path that exists outside of chaos and the sun, a completely new path that gains the approval of the laws of heaven and earth. This is a hundred times more difficult than any other Golden Crow becoming King in ancient history."

The seven quasi-immortal kings remained silent.

They certainly understand this principle.
Lu Xuan's existence is the greatest protection for the clan, but also an insurmountable yet revered mountain standing in their way.

Imitating his Chaos Way?

No one possesses such a treasure as the Chaos Bell.

Following the traditional way of the sun?
Lu Xuan had already pushed the origin of the sun to an unprecedented extreme, which is difficult for later generations to surpass.

They seemed to be caught in a brilliant predicament.

Lu Huang's gaze was firm as he spoke.

"In any case, we must walk our own path. His Majesty once said that chaos can give rise to all things, and the sun is not just about heat. The seven of us have different understandings of the path, and we may not be unable to find a way out."

“That’s right,” Lu Yu’s fighting spirit was rekindled.

"Even without a new Celestial King, the seven of us joining forces to set up the complete 'Ten-Sun Golden Crow Formation' would be enough to shake an ordinary Celestial King! The future of our race may not necessarily depend on His Majesty alone!"
