"Liuli, no matter who comes, you will die today. Hiding in the war fortress, you will only implicate the Nascent Soul cultivators of your Nine Cliffs Star Domain in vain," Zhang Fan's voice reached the war fortress, causing immediate panic.
In the Nine Cliffs Star Domain's war fortress, there were still over a hundred thousand Nascent Soul cultivators. They had personally witnessed Zhang Fan kill the renowned True Spirit Immortal King with a single move. Such terrifying might left them with no confidence in whether the war fortress could withstand Zhang Fan.
"Wuhua, I'll give you three breaths of time to consider. Will you hand over the Liuli Immortal King or risk the lives of over a hundred thousand Nascent Soul cultivators of the Nine Cliffs Star Domain, gambling that this iron ball can stop me?"
Immortal King Wuhua glanced at Immortal King Liuli beside him, his heart filled with conflict. This war fortress was a supreme immortal king artifact painstakingly crafted by the Domain Lord with countless rare materials. With the control of a Harmonious Dao Immortal King, it could withstand even peak Chaos realm powerhouses.
However, he was unsure if it could withstand Zhang Fan.
"Liuli, these over a hundred thousand Nascent Soul cultivators are the seeds of our Nine Cliffs Star Domain. If they die, it will be difficult for the Nine Cliffs Star Domain to recover its vitality for tens of thousands of years," Immortal King Wuhua said, his eyes fixed on Immortal King Liuli.
"Immortal King Wuhua, Zhang Fan has already killed the True Spirit Immortal King. Both sides are now irreconcilably opposed. As long as we can hold him off for a while, when the Domain Lord arrives, everything will be resolved," Immortal King Liuli said hastily.
Immortal King Wuhua was also a decisive individual. After weighing the pros and cons, he quickly gave his answer: "Immortal King Liuli is, after all, one of our Nine Cliffs Star Domain's people. I cannot hand him over to you."
The True Spirit Immortal King had already fallen to Zhang Fan. If he were to hand over the Liuli Immortal King as well, it would be a tremendous blow to the internal unity and prestige of the Nine Cliffs Star Domain. While over a hundred thousand Nascent Soul cultivators were indeed important, it was difficult for such a large number to birth even a single Harmonious Dao Immortal King.
"Hahaha, very good!"
Zhang Fan let out a hearty laugh and said, "Liuli, you have a Chaos realm powerhouse and over a hundred thousand Nascent Soul cultivators accompanying you to the grave. Even in death, you will have died with enough glory."
"Blood Demon, your Blood Dragon Physique has reached perfection. Today, I shall bestow upon you a great fortune. With the blood essence of two Immortal Kings and over a hundred thousand Nascent Soul cultivators, I will help your Blood Dragon Physique advance further."
"Chaos Devour!"
After Zhang Fan stepped into the Tribulation Stage Dominator realm, he once again unleashed this divine-grade divine ability. His form shifted, transforming into a chaotic ferocious beast that spanned ten thousand miles high.
Endless chaotic energy surged and churned. This region of heaven and earth seemed to rewind time, suffused with an ancient primeval aura, as if returning to the time before chaos had even begun.
When this divine-grade divine ability reached perfection, Zhang Fan could truly transform into the chaotic ferocious beast Taotie, whose might could contend with Grand Ascension Immortal Emperors.
The Blood Demon Flood Dragon looked up at the chaotic ferocious beast his master had become. Even with its pure-blooded Blood Dragon's formidable nature, it still felt a suppression of its bloodline. The chaotic divine beasts and chaotic ferocious beasts born from the universe were the origin of all demons and the source of all bloodlines.
Simultaneously, its pair of blood-red eyes were filled with excitement. If it could completely devour such a vast amount of blood essence, what level would its strength reach? Perhaps even breaking through to the legendary Saint Physique Transcendence realm was not impossible.
Within the war fortress, Immortal King Liuli and Immortal King Wuhua watched this scene in disbelief. This chaotic ferocious beast, ten thousand miles high, was still a tiny existence compared to the massive war fortress, yet its aura made their very souls tremble.
"Is this the legendary chaotic ferocious beast Taotie? It is said that it devours everything. When it was first born, it devoured a large portion of a universe. Over countless years, chaotic ferocious beasts and chaotic divine beasts have long since become extinct in the myriad star fields. How could it transform into a chaotic ferocious beast?" Immortal King Wuhua could not comprehend.
At this moment, the over a hundred thousand Nascent Soul cultivators faced the chaotic ferocious beast and felt an insurmountable urge to resist, as if they were mere fish on a chopping block.
"Liuli Immortal King, you've killed us!"
"Cowards who cling to life, you are truly our disgrace!"
In the face of death, this group of Nascent Soul cultivators had nothing left to fear. Many cultivators began to curse Immortal King Liuli.
"Devour!"
The colossal Taotie beast, transformed from Zhang Fan, opened its maw and inhaled. The space of the entire star field became distorted. The massive war fortress was trapped in the void. As it was locked onto by this devouring force, under the spatial distortion, the war fortress's volume shrunk continuously, finally transforming into an iron ball the size of a palm, which was then swallowed into the chaotic ferocious beast's belly.
Within the Taotie's body was an endless space capable of refining all things. Even a supreme immortal king artifact, once swallowed, could not resist.
Figures emerged from the surrounding star fields. They were the Nine Cliffs Immortal King and the Purple Firmament Immortal King, who had rushed over upon receiving the news. They stepped out of spatial rifts, their auras like rainbows. However, upon seeing the colossal Taotie figure in the star field, their eyes were filled with uncontainable shock. They quickly tore through space and plunged into the darkness.
Zhang Fan paid them no mind. His sole purpose in coming here was to kill the Liuli Immortal King. After retracting his divine ability, Zhang Fan reverted to his original form and spat out a thumb-sized iron ball from his mouth. He peeled open the iron ball, revealing a blood-red pill.
This blood pill was the condensed essence of over a hundred thousand Nascent Soul cultivators and two Harmonious Dao Immortal Kings. The blood essence contained within it made the Blood Demon Flood Dragon dizzy.
"The blood essence contained in this blood pill is probably not inferior to a Tribulation Realm divine pill. Enter the Boundless Tower and refine it. Whether you can transcend to the Saint Physique will depend on your fortune," Zhang Fan said, tossing the blood pill to the Blood Demon Flood Dragon.
The Blood Demon Flood Dragon nodded, its eyes radiating with intense heat. It naturally understood how precious this blood pill was.
"The Liuli Immortal King is dead. Since I've come to this star field, I might as well go see Zi Shan Lingyue," Zhang Fan said after putting the Blood Demon Flood Dragon into the Boundless Tower, then he strode towards the Purple Firmament Star Domain.
Back when he was in the Evil Buddha Immortal Venerable's cave dwelling, Zhang Fan had killed two Void Returning cultivators from Zi Shan Lingyue's family. Although they had brought their deaths upon themselves, Zhang Fan felt he should still go and see Zi Shan Lingyue.
The war fortress, which had stood in the star field battlefield for hundreds of thousands of years, vanished, causing a huge sensation between the two great star domains. Especially in the Nine Cliffs Star Domain, the soul lamps of over a hundred thousand Nascent Soul cultivators extinguished simultaneously. Many cultivators were confused and sought information everywhere.
At this moment, the Domain Lords of the two great star domains had no inclination to think about the situation on the star field battlefield. Their sole concern was how to preserve their lives. Although they had not clashed, the aura that made peak Chaos realm powerhouses tremble made them realize that Zhang Fan had now ascended to the Tribulation Stage, achieving the position of Immortal Venerable. With the power of an Immortal Venerable, how could he not know that their two great star domains had previously dispatched powerhouses to investigate Zhang Fan's whereabouts? Thinking back now, such actions were tantamount to seeking death.
