The Pu Ji True Immortal squad, currently adventuring in the Earth Element World of the Seven Stars Pagoda, also received this news. Looking at the tens of thousands of military merits they had painstakingly earned through fierce battles, he instantly felt that cultivation was meaningless.
"Master suppressed the Thousand Spirit King of the Nine Abyss Star Domain and the Mangya True Immortal on Thousand Stars Island?" Upon hearing this news, although Nan Zun had long known that his master was no ordinary person, he was still shocked.
"I remember Qiongyu True Immortal once said that killing a sealed king expert could earn ten million military merits. Doesn't that mean the master now has over twenty million military merits?" Xue Mo Jiao's voice trembled slightly.
This was truly too ruthless. In the tens of thousands of years since the Starry Sky Battlefield was opened, no Nascent Soul stage cultivator had ever achieved this.
"With Senior Shi Jue's strength, he could probably break through to the Void Returning stage at any moment. It's truly incredible," Pu Ji True Immortal even changed his address.
Before, they could still address each other as fellow Daoists, but now, they could only refer to him as Senior, because the two were not on the same level, so how could they be fellow Daoists?
...
The strongest expert stationed in the Nine Abyss Star Domain was the Glazed Immortal King, who could rival the Town Cang Immortal King. Due to cultivating a technique called the Glazed Immortal King Body, his skin appeared like white jade.
"The Thousand Spirit King and Mangya True Immortal are not dead yet. It seems that the Ten Absolute True Immortal only suppressed them and has not refined them yet. There is still room for maneuver." Glazed Immortal King turned into a stream of light and flew towards the other side of the star river.
Sealed king-level experts were extremely important figures in the Nine Abyss Star Domain. If possible, Glazed Immortal King naturally wanted to preserve their lives, even at some cost.
As long as they were alive, they had a great chance of condensing Dao Origins in the future and becoming supreme experts below Immortal Kings. 138 Reading Network.
At the same time, with the appearance of the Evil Buddha Immortal Venerable's dojo, Glazed Immortal King coincidentally wanted to meet with Town Cang Immortal King to discuss how to deal with this Immortal Venerable's dojo.

Zhang Fan naturally knew the great commotion his actions on Thousand Stars Island would cause, but he didn't care at all. As his strength increased, fewer and fewer things caught his eye.
"The space-time in the Dark Forest is constantly changing, but the last time I went to that secret realm was a year ago. It shouldn't disappear so quickly," said Fairy Zi Ling, looking at the endless darkness before them as they arrived at the edge of the Dark Forest.
"Lead the way," Zhang Fan nodded, his primordial spirit power spreading out to scan the situation inside the Dark Forest. Here, his eyesight was useless. Perhaps the Candle Dragon's Eye could help, but there was no need.
Large amounts of dark matter piled up, forming various strange landscapes. Dark stars floated in the Dark Forest, constantly devouring the surrounding dark matter.
Here, Zhang Fan could also sense the gentle flow of starlight water, which converged from all directions of the Dark Forest and finally flowed into the star river.
"This is your first time in the Dark Forest, isn't it? How do you feel?" Fairy Zi Ling asked.
"Actually, it's not my first time." Zhang Fan shook his head. He had been to more than one extra-dimensional space formed by cosmic special matter like the Dark Forest. Although they all had some differences, they were largely the same and did not surprise him.
Perhaps one moment he could sense a mountain peak ahead, but the next moment, with a single step, space-time would shift. Fairy Zi Ling had left a special mark in that secret realm. Relying on the sense of the mark, she led Zhang Fan around the perimeter of the Dark Forest for several days before finally arriving at their destination.
This was a terrain similar to a valley, where large amounts of dark matter had accumulated, forming two immensely tall peaks. From millions of miles away, Zhang Fan could sense the dense aura of Dark Origin Crystals within the valley.
"These are a group of fierce beasts that resemble giant crocodiles. Their territory is within a million miles of that valley. As soon as we step into it, we will be attacked. If we cannot resist, they will not pursue us if we retreat beyond that range. I discovered this rule with my life," Fairy Zi Ling still felt a lingering fear when she thought of it.
"You stumbled into this place, and it's fortunate you managed to escape alive," Zhang Fan said with a smile.
The leader of the fierce beasts was at the peak of the Great Dao stage. Fairy Zi Ling, who was only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, was indeed capable of escaping from its clutches.
"Just follow me later. If the situation is not right, I will retreat immediately with you," Zhang Fan instructed.
Although Fairy Zi Ling said there was only one peak Great Dao stage expert, no one could guarantee whether there were other powerful fierce beasts hidden in the dark. In this Dark Forest, even a Void Returning stage mighty figure had to be cautious. Zhang Fan naturally would not be complacent and was prepared to retreat at any time.
"Okay." Fairy Zi Ling's eyes held a peculiar glint, and she looked at Zhang Fan with a strange expression. In this Starry Sky Battlefield, she was once the strongest expert in the Purple Cloud Star Domain, and other cultivators would follow her on expeditions. Never before had anyone said such words to her.
As they approached, an incredibly oppressive dark aura enveloped her heart. If Zhang Fan were not leading the way, Fairy Zi Ling would have already had the thought of retreating. A peak Great Dao stage fierce beast was still too powerful for her currently; she could lose her life with the slightest carelessness.
"We are about to enter its territory. Once the dark fierce beasts attack, I will quickly kill them. As long as we collect the primordial spirits of more than thirty dark fierce beasts, we will directly seize the Dark Origin Crystals," Zhang Fan whispered in Fairy Zi Ling's ear.
"Attack!"
As they approached within a million miles of the dark fierce beasts' territory, the surrounding space-time rippled, and dark fierce beasts resembling ancient giant crocodiles swooped out, pouncing towards Zhang Fan and the two of them.
The dark fierce beasts had massive bodies, each over a hundred feet long. Facing the overwhelming tide of dark fierce beasts, Zhang Fan and Fairy Zi Ling were as small as ants looking up at the sky.
Zhang Fan wielded his Blood Refinement Divine Weapon, his sword light like threads, easily slicing through the dark fierce beasts. At the same time, he cast the Myriad Beast Cauldron, which floated above his head. The primordial spirits of every dark fierce beast he killed were captured and pressed into the Myriad Beast Cauldron.
"Truly monstrous!" Fairy Zi Ling was also a sword cultivator, but she found that the power of her sword dao had a huge gap compared to Zhang Fan's, leaving her utterly baffled. Could there be a difference in the level of sword dao?
The weakest of these dark fierce beasts could rival cultivators at the late Nascent Soul stage, and the strongest few were even close to Fairy Zi Ling's level. However, in front of Zhang Fan, there was no significant difference. He reaped the lives of the frantically surging dark fierce beasts like cutting vegetables.
