"Liuli, no matter who comes, you are destined to die today. Hiding in the war base will only drag down the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of your Nine Cliffs Star Domain in vain." Zhang Fan's voice echoed into the war base, causing widespread panic.
Currently, there were over a hundred thousand Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Nine Cliffs Star Domain's war base. They had personally witnessed Zhang Fan kill the renowned True Spirit Immortal King with a single move. Such terrifying power left them with no confidence in the war base's ability to withstand Zhang Fan.
"Wuhua, I give you three breaths to consider. Either hand over the Liuli Immortal King or prepare to gamble the lives of over a hundred thousand Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Nine Cliffs Star Domain, betting whether this iron ball can stop me?"
Immortal King Wuhua glanced at Immortal King Liuli beside him, his heart filled with conflict. This war base was a Saint Artifact of the Immortal King, painstakingly crafted by the Domain Lord with countless rare materials. Operated by a single Harmonious Dao Immortal King, it could even withstand a peak Chaotic Realm expert.
However, whether it could withstand Zhang Fan, he had no certainty.
"Liuli, these over a hundred thousand Nascent Soul stage 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, that Zhang Fan has already killed the True Spirit Immortal King. The two sides are now in an irreconcilable conflict. As long as we can hold him off for a while, when the Domain Lord arrives, everything will be resolved," Immortal King Liuli quickly replied.
Immortal King Wuhua was also a decisive person. After weighing the pros and cons, he quickly gave his answer: "Immortal King Liuli is ultimately from our Nine Cliffs Star Domain. I cannot hand him over to you."
The True Spirit Immortal King had already perished at Zhang Fan's hands. If he were to hand over Immortal King Liuli as well, it would be a significant blow to the internal unity and reputation of the Nine Cliffs Star Domain. Although over a hundred thousand Nascent Soul stage cultivators were indeed important, it was still difficult for such a large number to produce a Harmonious Dao Immortal King expert.
"Hahaha, very good!"
Zhang Fan let out a hearty laugh and said, "Liuli, having a Chaotic Realm expert and over a hundred thousand Nascent Soul stage cultivators to accompany you in death, you will die with enough glory."
"Blood Demon, your Blood Dragon physique is now complete. Today, I shall bestow upon you a great fortune, using the blood essence of two Immortal Kings and over a hundred thousand Nascent Soul stage cultivators to help your Blood Dragon physique advance further."
"Chaos Devour!"
After Zhang Fan stepped into the Tribulation Transcending Stage Dominator Realm, he unleashed this Divine Grade divine ability once more. His form transformed, becoming a chaotic fierce beast with a body spanning ten thousand miles.
Endless chaotic energy surged and churned. This piece of heaven and earth seemed to reverse time, filled with an ancient, primordial aura, as if returning to the time of chaos.
When this Divine Grade divine ability reached perfection, Zhang Fan could truly transform into the chaotic fierce beast Taotie, whose ferocity could rival a Mahayana Immortal Emperor.
The Blood Demon Flood Dragon looked up at the chaotic fierce beast his master had transformed into. Even with its powerful pure-blooded Blood Dragon physique, it still felt a suppression of its bloodline. The chaotic divine beasts and chaotic fierce beasts born from the universe were the origin of all demons and the source of all bloodlines.
At the same time, its blood-red eyes were filled with excitement. With such a majestic blood essence, what level would its strength reach if it could completely devour it? Perhaps it wouldn't be impossible to even attempt the legendary Saint Body transcendence?
Within the war base, Immortal King Liuli and Immortal King Wuhua watched this scene with disbelief. This chaotic fierce beast, ten thousand miles tall, still appeared small compared to the colossal war base, yet its aura made both their souls tremble.
"Is this the legendary chaotic fierce beast Taotie? Rumor has it that it devours everything. When it was first born, it consumed a vast portion of a universe. Over countless eons, chaotic fierce beasts and chaotic divine beasts have long since vanished from the myriad star fields. How could it transform into a chaotic fierce beast?" Immortal King Wuhua was unable to comprehend.
And at this moment, facing the chaotic fierce beast, the over a hundred thousand Nascent Soul stage cultivators felt an insurmountable sense of resistance, as if they were mere fish on a chopping board.
"Liuli Immortal King, you have killed us!"
"Cowards who cling to life, you are truly a disgrace to us!"
In the face of death, these Nascent Soul stage cultivators had nothing left to fear. Many of them 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 distorted. The massive war base was imprisoned in the void. As it was locked onto by this devouring force, under the spatial distortion, the war base's volume shrank increasingly, eventually becoming an iron ball the size of a palm, which was then swallowed into the chaotic fierce beast's belly.
Inside the Taotie, there was an endless space capable of refining all things. Even a Saint Artifact of the Immortal King, once swallowed, could not resist.
Figures emerged from the surrounding star fields. They were Immortal King Jiuyuan and Immortal King Zixiao, who had rushed over after receiving the news. They emerged from spatial rifts, their auras soaring, but upon seeing the enormous Taotie figure in the star field, their eyes filled with uncontrollable shock. They immediately tore through space and plunged into the darkness.
Zhang Fan paid them no mind. His sole purpose for coming here was to kill Immortal King Liuli. After retracting his divine ability, Zhang Fan reverted to his true form and spat out a thumb-sized iron ball from his mouth. After peeling away the iron ball, a blood-red pill was revealed.
This blood pill was the condensed blood essence of over a hundred thousand Nascent Soul stage cultivators and two Harmonious Dao Immortal Kings. The blood essence contained within made the Blood Demon Flood Dragon dizzy.
"The blood essence contained in this blood pill is likely comparable to a Tribulation Realm divine pill. You shall enter the Infinite Pagoda and refine it. Whether you can achieve Saint Body transcendence will depend on your fortune," Zhang Fan said, throwing the blood pill to the Blood Demon Flood Dragon.
The Blood Demon Flood Dragon nodded, its eyes radiating an incredibly fervent light. It naturally understood how precious this blood pill was.
"Immortal King Liuli is dead. Since I've come to this star field anyway, I should go see Zi Shan Lingyue." After Zhang Fan put the Blood Demon Flood Dragon into the Infinite Pagoda, he strode towards the Zixiao Star Domain.
Previously, in the cave-dwelling of the Evil Buddha Immortal Venerable, Zhang Fan had killed two Void Returning stage 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 base, which had stood in the star battlefield for hundreds of thousands of years, vanished, causing a huge sensation between the two star domains. Especially in the Nine Cliffs Star Domain, the soul lamps of over a hundred thousand Nascent Soul stage cultivators were extinguished simultaneously. Many cultivators were confused and were inquiring everywhere.
Meanwhile, the Domain Lords of the two major star domains had no mind to ponder the situation on the star battlefield. Their thoughts were solely on how to survive.
Although they had not yet fought, the aura that made peak Chaotic Realm experts tremble told them that Zhang Fan had now entered the Tribulation Transcending Stage and achieved the position of Immortal Venerable. With the power of an Immortal Venerable, how could he not know that their two star domains had previously sent experts to investigate Zhang Fan's whereabouts? Thinking about it now, such actions were tantamount to courting death.
