"The alien races are far too bold! Not long ago, our Immortal King Clan worked with them to deal with the Battle Saint King, yet behind our backs, they dared to infiltrate the Immortal King Domain to steal His Majesty's Immortal King Palace, Immortal King Grotto, and the ninety-nine immortal veins. They are utterly audacious! Your Majesty, we absolutely cannot let these aliens go," a Supreme Immortal said indignantly.
Wisps of violet-golden flame rose from the body of the Violet Sun Quasi-Immortal King, flames of the Quasi-Immortal King level capable of incinerating Supremes and scorching other Quasi-Immortal Kings. He said coldly, "Father, please allow me to act."
He had personally been stationed here, yet he had been unable to perceive anything, allowing these aliens to infiltrate silently and steal the most precious Immortal King Grotto and other treasures. His heart was filled with guilt, and he only wished to atone for his failure.
"Unnecessary. Today, this sovereign will act personally."
The Violet Firmament Immortal King spoke indifferently. Not long ago, he had paid such a heavy price. Even the unperturbed heart of an Immortal King had been stirred by heavy waves, difficult to calm. And now, his Immortal King Grotto had been stolen—it was akin to a slap across his face. How could he sit idly by?
Not long ago, Pan Dao Immortal King had used him to establish his authority. Today, he would use the alien races to establish his own.
Boom—
At this moment, the Violet Firmament Immortal King moved. The movement of a supreme Immortal King was sensed not only within the Immortal King Domain, but across most of the Primordial Immortal Realm.
All living beings watched in shock as the Violet Firmament Immortal King, his body ablaze with Immortal King radiance, manifested an Immortal King Dharma Form of unimaginable majesty. It directly traversed endless space, drawing in the light of the myriad heavenly stars into the Dharma Form, further accentuating the supreme bearing of the Immortal King.
The Violet Firmament Immortal King, with unimaginable speed, rushed to the borderland Heavenly Gate. In just a few breaths, he had already intercepted the departing alien forces.
"Your Majesty, the Violet Firmament Immortal King, why do you intercept us?"
An alien Great Emperor asked respectfully. He sensed the Immortal King's fury, the boundless Immortal King majesty released without the slightest concealment, making him feel immense pressure.
This oppressive might was far too intense!
"Why would this sovereign seek you out?" The Violet Firmament Immortal King snorted coldly, his anger not concealed in the slightest. He roared, "You dare to steal this sovereign's Immortal King Grotto, and still dare not admit it?"
Boom—
He struck out forcefully, unleashing the might of a Ten Thousand Ancient Giant that surpassed the Supreme level.
Blindingly brilliant Immortal King radiance bloomed.
"Ah—"
With just a single strike, an alien Great Emperor directly exploded, utterly powerless to resist!
Vast lands spanning who knows how many billions of miles were shattered, and the starry void was stained red with the blood-light of a Great Emperor.
This was the power of an Immortal King. Especially the Violet Firmament Immortal King, who was no ordinary Immortal King. Having achieved the Immortal King fruit for many years, his cultivation was profound and his strength astonishing.
Naturally, even so, it was impossible to kill an Ancient Great Emperor with a single strike. Not even an Immortal King as powerful as he could accomplish that. But it was enough to completely cripple that alien Great Emperor, who would likely need hundreds of thousands of years, or even one or two epochs, to recover his vitality.
At the same time, the Violet Firmament Immortal King raged. Infinite Immortal King killing intent transformed into beams of slaughter-light that descended from the heavens, slashing towards the multiple alien Great Emperors led by the Destiny Great Emperor.
Beam after beam of Immortal King-level slaughter-light fell, each one more magnificent than a galaxy, their power boundless, enough to make even Supremes pale at the sight.
The remaining few alien Great Emperors changed color. They had never stolen the Violet Firmament Immortal King's grotto.
The leading Quasi-Giant, the Destiny Great Emperor, stepped forward, his expression incomparably grave. At this moment, he manifested the Destiny Emperor Dao. Layers of ethereal, illusory destiny power constructed illusory worlds out of thin air, blocking and diverting these terrifying beams of Violet Firmament Immortal King slaughter-light, preventing them from landing.
This method caused many Quasi-Immortal Kings and even Immortal Kings to narrow their eyes slightly. It was truly an extraordinary, transcendent technique.
The Destiny Great Emperor spoke: "Your Majesty, the Violet Firmament Immortal King, please stop. You have misunderstood. We did not steal your Immortal King Grotto."
"Hmph, are you doubting this sovereign's ability to deduce the truth? You alien races, do you truly think this sovereign is easy to bully?" The Violet Firmament Immortal King's expression grew even darker.
At the same time, the entire Primordial Immortal Realm learned of this, causing a world-shaking commotion!
The Violet Firmament Immortal King's Immortal King Grotto had actually been stolen?
Who could be so bold?
Was it really the alien races? Were they bold enough to enter the Primordial Immortal Realm, take advantage of the Violet Firmament Immortal King's absence, and steal his grotto? That was far too audacious.
This was the Primordial Immortal Realm, the territory of cultivators. Immortal Kings were the rulers of the Primordial Immortal Realm. To steal from them like this was simply seeking death.
Within the Pan Dao Immortal King Domain, Ye Chen watched this scene from afar. Unlike others who were stunned or gloating, he was the only one who knew the truth, because the one who had acted was him, not the aliens.
But, one must not forget who he was?
A cultivator of the Chaos Great Dao, and a Chaos Quasi-Giant who had refined alien Supreme descendants and even alien Great Emperors. Simulating the aura of alien universe origin was easy. Even the Violet Firmament Immortal King had been deceived.
Now, the true Immortal King Grotto and everything else were within his origin small universe, blocked by the universe itself. Even if the Violet Firmament Immortal King were right before him, he would be unable to detect it.
Boom—
The Violet Firmament Immortal King was incomparably furious. The majesty of an Immortal King was not something these mere Great Emperors and Quasi-Giants could question.
An Immortal King's great hand pressed down, seizing one of the alien Great Emperors. Infinite immortal light burned, involving supreme rule power at the Immortal King level. It was simply not something a Supreme could block. He directly crushed the alien Great Emperor and said coldly, "Today, if you do not hand it over, this sovereign does not mind killing you all, making the Immortal Realm your burial ground."
Forceful!
Others might still have some reservations towards the alien races, but that was because they were not strong enough. However, the Violet Firmament Immortal King himself was a pinnacle Immortal King and one of the rulers dominating the Primordial Immortal Realm. He fundamentally feared no alien Ancient Universe.
He would kill if he wished!
If the alien Ancient Universe dared to start a war, he would simply suppress it!
"Wait, Violet Firmament Immortal King, please allow me to use the Gate of Destiny to deduce the truth." The Destiny Great Emperor acted, rescuing the crushed alien Great Emperor. Behind him, the Gate of Destiny manifested—a construct evolved from his Quasi-Giant-level Destiny Emperor Dao—displaying scene after scene of illusory destiny images.
The Violet Firmament Immortal King also stayed his hand. Regarding the Destiny Dao, he had some understanding. It was one of the most supreme Great Daos, not inferior to the Space-Time Great Dao, capable of controlling the destiny of all living beings.
Although the Destiny Great Emperor's ability was not yet sufficient to control the destiny of all, he could use the Gate of Destiny to pierce through various destinies, also gaining insight into the past and the truth.
The grand and mysterious Gate of Destiny manifested, destiny light shining brilliantly. The scene of stealing from the Violet Firmament Immortal King City was appearing.
A Quasi-Giant-level existence appeared silently, concealing everything. It appeared to be an alien, but in reality, it was actually a Quasi-Immortal King. That unique Quasi-Immortal King aura was different from a Quasi-Giant's aura.
"A Quasi-Immortal King?" The Violet Firmament Immortal King's face immediately darkened. It was actually a Quasi-Immortal King from the Primordial Immortal Realm who had acted, stealing his Immortal King Grotto and the ninety-nine immortal veins.
Who could it be, to be so bold?
Of course, he did not completely trust the Destiny Great Emperor either. How could he know if this wasn't the Destiny Great Emperor altering the results?
The Gate of Destiny trembled, capable of reverse deduction. It was about to deduce the true appearance of that Quasi-Immortal King.
Suddenly, the Destiny Great Emperor felt a bone-chilling, lethal sense of crisis originating from behind him. He almost didn't think before teleporting sideways.
Boom—
A Chaos Great Cauldron tore through the void, descending from the heavens just like that, smashing heavily onto the spine of the Destiny Great Emperor, who ultimately failed to dodge in time.
