Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"Om!!"

The next moment, a blinding light flew out from the Immortal King's body. It was an ancient artifact, shaped like an immortal mirror, shining down from the sky. Mysterious fluctuations swept across the battlefield, imprinting the figures of Jiang Mo, the Root Plague, and the Lord of Crimson Lotus Mountain.

"Wow!"

Three identical figures emerged from the void without warning. The Taiyan Immortal King was bleeding heavily from his mouth and nose, and his hands and feet were trembling. It was clear that he was the one behind the scenes activating this forbidden object of unknown origin. It was not an innate magic weapon, but it had power no less than that of an innate magic weapon!

The three replicated beings immediately attacked different targets.

The Lord of Crimson Lotus Mountain was attacked by the phantom of the root plague.

The root of the epidemic was attacked by Jiang Mo's counterfeit.

Jiang Mo became the target of the fake Crimson Lotus Mountain Lord.

In an instant, the six of them engaged in a chaotic battle, unleashing a barrage of supernatural powers and spells that roared fiercely across the battlefield.

"Cough cough!!"

The Immortal King Taiyan was particularly weak, coughing violently as if he had an incurable disease.

His eyes were bleeding. The three imitations created through the Mirror of Mythology had similar combat power to Him. They could restrain Him for a short time, but they caused Him to consume a lot of energy. His spiritual energy evaporated rapidly, making Him extremely anxious.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

His hands trembled as he formed a magic array, hoping to contact the other celestial kings in his clan to come to his rescue.

His original statement was that many Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors were secretly watching this event, but that was not the case. Those Immortal Kings were either in seclusion or seeking opportunities outside the heavens. Even the true bodies of the Immortal Emperors had not returned to their clans for many years, and only through a wisp of projection, they sat in the clans in slumber, issuing decrees from time to time.

What Taiyan wants to do now is simply to awaken the other Immortal Kings in his clan. If two or three of them come to help, he can escape alive.

However, at the most critical stage, an unexpected change occurred.

"Boom!!!"

A shattered body fell from the sky. The pseudo-Red Lotus Mountain Lord was severely injured by Jiang Mo and nearly died, losing all his fighting power. Jiang Mo took a step forward, pierced through the void, and arrived in front of the Taiyan Immortal King. He formed a seal with his five fingers and slapped down on the top of the head.

"Boom!!!"

The sudden attack caused the Taiyan Immortal King to cough up blood and nearly faint. His uncontrollable fall also severed his connection with the Mythical Mirror.

"Boom!!!"

Jiang Mo's left hand evolved the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and was supplemented by the two elements of yin and yang, transforming into the chaotic Taiyi, which forcibly took the form of a divine mountain to suppress the Taiyan Immortal King.

As the Immortal King sank to the ground, the entire world suddenly sank, and a majestic mountain rose from the ground. Taiyan, who was pressed under it, had his bones shattered, and his eyes were fierce and incredulous.

I am the king of the immortals!

I am the ruler of the Immortal Realm!

Aaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!

He roared madly in his heart, his strength exploding without restraint, and he rammed into the Five Elements Yin Yang Chaos Mountain, shaking the mountain so badly that it was about to collapse. Even Jiang Mo couldn't help but look at him with new respect. This was simply a humanoid tyrannosaurus that had gone out of control.

"Come!"

"I'll fight you to the bitter end!"

Jiang Mo increased the force of his attack, instantly shattering the situation that Taiyan Immortal King had slightly reversed, completely suppressing the beast and rendering it unable to move. His colorless domain pierced through layers of mountains, landing around the trapped beast and absorbing and disintegrating all the killing moves and divine abilities it unleashed.

"what!!!"

"Stop! Let me out."

The Immortal King Taiyan roared in anger. He was truly terrified at this moment. The gap between the two sides was even greater than he had anticipated. The thought that he might perish here threw him into chaos, and he lost his composure!

"Noisy."

Jiang Mo coldly glanced down. With the suppression of the Taiyan Immortal King, the Mythical Mirror became ownerless. The other two fakes dissipated on their own without the need for the Root Plague or the Crimson Lotus Mountain Lord to kill them.

The remaining dozen or so immortal envoys desperately sent messages back to their clan. At the same time, they also tried to pass through the black mist. Soon, they were wiped out by the Crimson Lotus and the Origin, and died one after another.

"Buzz!"

Jiang Mo arrived at the bottom of the mountain and swept his hand towards the brow of the Taiyan Immortal King. Ignoring His curses, he forcibly took three primordial flames from His body.

"You want to kill me? You dare to kill me?!"

The Immortal King Taiyan was furious. His bloodshot eyes stared fiercely at Jiang Mo, his face contorted with rage.

"What good would killing them do?"

Jiang Mo calmly countered, without a trace of pressure. He casually thrust the Folding Immortal Sword into the ground, piercing the spine of the Taiyan Immortal King and nailing him to the bottom of the Five Elements Yin Yang Chaos Mountain.

"Not only will I kill you, I will also refine you."

Just as the Taiyan Immortal King was about to fly into a rage, before he could even endure the excruciating pain, he witnessed a scene that sent chills down his spine.

"Wow!"

Jiang Mo opened his right palm, and eighty-eight fire needles the size of silver needles appeared. In the next instant, they expanded wildly, becoming array flags that surrounded him.

“You…you!!”

"They gave you the sacred object!!!"

Taiyan Immortal King was filled with shock and anger. He was trapped in the Divine Flame Demon-Slaying Formation, and the Eighty-Eight-Cornered True Flame Banner was fully revived and began to be activated.

"Boom!"

The raging flames poured out, cascading down on the Taiyan Immortal King, drowning out his roars and curses.

Jiang Mo stood in the firelight outside the formation, watching expressionlessly, his eyes deep and cold, not missing a single detail, observing Taiyan Immortal King being burned to death time and time again, and being reborn again and again, until he reached his limit.

"Pong!"

The entire refining process lasted for about twenty minutes. The Taiyan Immortal King had nowhere to escape and was completely refined to death, leaving not even a remnant soul behind.

"Wow!"

The Divine Flame Demon-Slaying Array dissipated, leaving only a pile of pale ashes, signifying that a supreme immortal king once existed.

Jiang Mo retrieved the Eighty-Eight-Cornered True Flame Banner and carefully sensed it. After refining and killing the Immortal King, this innate magic weapon had been significantly enhanced, with its power increasing by more than 30%, which was quite remarkable.

At the same time, the other envoys of the Immortal Clan were also wiped out by the combined forces of the Root Plague and the Crimson Lotus.

During this time, three Supreme Dao Lords at their peak resisted stubbornly, but Jiang Mo severed their heads with a sword strike from a distance, causing their combat power to plummet. In less than a quarter of an hour, they were infected by the root plague and turned into dazed puppets.

Thus, World War I came to an end.

"Here, these are your things."

Jiang Mo generously handed over the three primordial flames to the Lord of Crimson Lotus Mountain.

"Thank you, Venerable Master! We will remember this kindness forever!"

The Crimson Lotus Mountain Lord excitedly accepted the flames, but his heart felt like it was being torn apart. These primordial flames were undoubtedly the essence of the corpses of his ancestors. After receiving them, his soul trembled, and he could feel the infinite lament contained within the flames.

"Let's get out of here first."

He had some concerns about the root cause of the epidemic, and immediately looked at the two of them, urging them:

"We have killed the king of the Immortal Clan. The news cannot be kept secret. Your secret of leaving Flame Mountain will soon be known to everyone. We must prepare for war as soon as possible."

"The real bloodshed is coming, and we might all be in trouble."

Chapter 659 Prelude to the War

As night fell in the Northern Divine Realm, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred in a magnificent, brightly lit city deep within the realm.

"Boom!"

Pale lightning tore through the sky, and dark clouds gathered from thousands of miles away. Blood, like fine rain, continuously fell from the sky. A huge illusory image of a Dharma body was cracking open. It was none other than the appearance of the Taiyan Immortal King. Blood seeped from his brow, and an irreversible crack appeared in his heart, which continued to spread throughout his body. His whole body was like a piece of porcelain on the verge of collapse, beyond repair.

"What...what happened?!"

The immortal citizens within the city looked up in fear, and upon seeing the extraordinary appearance of the Immortal King, their faces turned deathly pale with horror.

Some powerful immortal beings were completely stunned on the spot, their whole bodies trembling uncontrollably. In the depths reflected in their pupils, the immortal king's dharma image was disintegrating, letting out a sigh of unwillingness.

"The Celestial King... The Celestial King... has fallen!?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"How could such an absurd thing happen?!"

The many powerful figures in the city exclaimed in shock, their voices trembling as the scene before them completely overturned their understanding.

In an era when no major wars had broken out for hundreds of thousands of years, the sudden demise of a Celestial King of the Celestial Race was an incredibly shocking event.

You must know that he was a legendary Immortal King, a being who stood at the top of the food chain of the Immortal Clan, the Sub-Immortal Clan, and even the entire Immortal Realm. Looking at the Northern Divine Realm, there were only a handful of 'kings' like him guarding the major Immortal Cities. Now, one of them had died, and it just so happened to be one of their own. How could they not be alarmed?

"quick!"

"quick!"

"Quickly report to the other immortal cities that they urgently need reinforcements and to find out the truth!!!"

An elderly man urgently urged his subordinates to contact the other nine immortal cities.

His face was full of sorrow. As one of the few supreme Dao Lords in the city, he knew the power of the Taiyan Immortal King. This was an Immortal King who had lived for six thousand years and was in his prime. Among the ten kings under the Immortal Emperor, he could be considered to be of middle to upper strength. Even so, he still perished.

"It must be a scheme devised by Li Yanshan, it must be! Damn it!"

Just as the old man was getting furious, a dense stream of dark beams of light rippled through the surrounding void, passing by and transforming into human figures. These were none other than the immortal elders who had received various messages earlier.

"Everyone..."

Before the old man could ask any more questions, an elder said coldly:

"It was a conspiracy orchestrated by people from Li Yan Mountain, Xie Hun Hai, and Tian Yuan!"

"Just recently, Yaoling, Fukun, and Fenghe, who were accompanying the Immortal King to the meeting place designated by Liyan Mountain, were ambushed. The ancient emperors and Xuanzun, the origin of the Eastern Wilderness, all took action and killed them all there."

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, the old man felt as if struck by lightning, his lips moving in disbelief as he uttered:

"The Crimson Lotus of Liyan Mountain, the Ancient Emperor of the Origin, and the Mystic Venerable—were all the work of these three?!"

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!!!"

The old man was furious, with dense veins bulging on his forehead, and his aged face was now as cold as iron.

He had a close relationship with the Taiyan Immortal King, having once been one of his divine generals, assisting him in battles beyond the heavens. However, due to a major battle, he suffered severe Dao injuries that were almost incurable, forcing him to return to Taiyan Immortal City to guard the city for the Immortal King, managing various trivial matters and maintaining order.

Now, upon learning that the Celestial King had fallen at the hands of an ultimate being from the outside world, He could no longer remain calm. His eyes flashed with fierce hatred as He said:

"How dare you slaughter my clan's Immortal King!"

"This has never happened in hundreds of thousands of years!"

"Let's go find other adults and ask them to come out of seclusion and take charge!"

"Very well, this grudge must be avenged, otherwise, the prestige of our Immortal Clan will be lost. At that time, what will those wolves and wolves from the four regions regard us as? Besides, after years of cultivation, do we still fear those lowly creatures!"

"Walk!--"

Having said that, Elder Qianying, as the general of the auxiliary city, and the six elders unanimously decided to set off for the nearest 'Jade Cloud Immortal City' to report.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The next instant, the seven people soared into the sky, tearing through the void, and disappeared in the shattered spatial rift.

In an instant, outside Jade Cloud Immortal City, one of the ten immortal cities of the immortal race, seven slender figures suddenly appeared. They knelt on one knee in the void, and cried out in sorrow and indignation for help towards the majestic, cloud-shrouded immortal city in front of them.

"Seven envoys from Taiyan Immortal City have come to see Jade Cloud Immortal King. My lord was ambushed while out and has perished!"

With a "hum!" sound, ripples spread through the void. The moment they finished speaking, a man dressed in a golden jade robe with a majestic appearance walked out with a powerful stride. Accompanying him were several powerful Supreme Dao Lords, who were undoubtedly among the top experts in the Immortal City.

"I am aware of what you have said. I was in seclusion just now when I suddenly sensed something ominous. When I emerged from seclusion, I witnessed the strange phenomenon of bloodshed in your immortal city and learned of the tragic news of my brother Taiyan's death..."

Jade Cloud Immortal King sighed slightly, his expression quite stern. As one of the ten Immortal Kings under the Immortal Emperor, and also the pinnacle experts of the Immortal Clan, they all bore the heavy responsibility of reviving the Immortal Clan. They had always had a good relationship and knew each other's strengths inside and out.

The fall of the Immortal King Taiyan made Yu Xiao feel unwell all over, enveloped by a chilling aura from head to toe.

"Any clues?" He asked. Yu Xiao, who had rushed out of seclusion, didn't know much about the inside story.

"Have!"

"According to several elders who died on the front lines, it was a joint effort by the three major forces of Li Yan Mountain, Xie Hun Hai, and Tian Yuan. Their rulers attacked together and killed the Immortal King."
