Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws



On an Immortal Island in the middle of the ocean in the Immortal World, there was an island called Yingzhou Island.

Together with Penglai Island and Fangzhang Island, they were known as the Three Oceanic Islands.

However, that island was pretty hard to find, more so than Penglai Island.

Today, on Yingzhou Immortal Island, a figure clad in black armor arrived. He was an imposing cultivator who emanated a cold killing intent.

Following that person's arrival, the whole Immortal island trembled violently.

Within the depths of that island, a hollow willow tree suddenly shook. Endless bursts of Immortal Sparks spread everywhere from the branches of that tree, stabilizing the entire Immortal island.

"Hey, are you trying to tear apart my island, Luo Hou?"

An elderly man's face appeared from the trunk of the hollow poplar tree.

Luo Hou snorted coldly. "Yang Mei, you were the one who joined forces with Hong Jun to kill me back then, so what if I tear apart your island? What can you possibly do?"

"Back then, you sowed turmoil and chaos just to spread your Demonic Dao. It was Hong Jun who requested my assistance to kill you. Are you here for revenge?" Yang Mei looked at Luo Hou and said.

The gigantic willow tree emitted a burst of light, revealing an extraordinary elderly man with white hair and white brows dressed in lavish Daoist robes.

Yang Mei was an Outlier of the Pan Gu Universe.

Rumor had it that he was born earlier than Hong Jun, and his original form was that of a hollow willow tree that existed in the undeveloped Chaos.

His most proficient techniques were all in Spatial Dao.

"Revenge? I do not have time to bicker with you about such trivial matters now. I only have one goal, and that is to conquer the Firmament Empire!" Luo Hou said ambitiously.

His greatest wish in life was to turn the whole world into a place where the Demonic Dao flourished!

He wanted to let everyone become a part of his Demonic Dao!

Therefore, the Firmament Empire was the greatest obstacle for him to achieve his goal.

"In that case, you should go to the Firmament Empire instead. Why have you sought me out?"

"I need your help."

"A great change is going to happen in this world soon, and I need to accumulate the strength to deal with whatever that's going to happen. I have no time to bother with your requests. Luo Hou, let me give you a piece of advice. Instead of clinging to unrealistic delusions, you should think about how to deal with this great change in the future," Yang Mei said.

"Conquering the Firmament Empire is a means for me to do so. Only by achieving that can I gather enough strength to deal with the unknown change that's happening in the future," Luo Hou said.

Then, he gently raised his arm.

Several figures appeared behind him.

There was an Immortal dressed in white robes and brimming with the power of the sun.

There were a demonic Buddha with an androgynous appearance that had four arms and six powerful figures shrouded in Immortal Sparks with different auras.

There was even a great yokai emanating powerful waves of yokai qi everywhere.

"Eastern Patriarch King, Golden Crow Ancestor, Papiyas, the Immortal Hall's Six Royals…"

Yang Mei's expression sank.

"It looks like you've made a lot of preparations to deal with the Firmament Empire, Luo Hou. Do you know what outcome awaits you if you proceed with this?" Yang Mei asked coldly.

"I do have an idea."

"It seems like you'll never let me off that easily unless I agree to your demands." Yang Mei looked at the ancient cultivators before him and said.

Although he was not afraid of those people, if a battle were to happen, the strength he had been accumulating thus far would be exhausted by more than fifty percent. Besides, he had nothing to gain from fighting them.

"Yang Mei, I just want a piece of hollow willow tree branch from you," Luo Hou said.

After pondering for a while, Yang Mei had no choice but to toss out a piece of hollow willow tree branch.

"Take it."

"A wise decision. Don't worry. Seeing that you've given me this piece of willow branch, I shall spare your life for what you and Hong Jun did to me back then," Luo Hou said calmly.

Upon hearing that, Yang Mei immediately huffed and stared daggers at Lou Hou. "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"Let's go."

Along with the others, Luo Hou's figure disappeared in a flash.

After they left, Yang Mei pondered and sighed. "It seems like there'll be trouble in the Immortal World again. I wonder how long I can keep this Yingzhou Island hidden from the world."

…

Luo Hou left with the others.

He looked at the hollow willow branch in his hand with a satisfied smile. "With this item, we have won half the battle already."

"Is this item truly that powerful?" the Eastern Patriarch King asked curiously.

He, too, was one of the ancient Immortal cultivators that had reincarnated.

During the ancient Immortal times, he was an elite cultivator. While the West Ruler Matriarch was known as the leader of female Immortals, he was proclaimed to be the leader of male Immortals.

His cultivation level was currently at the Multi-Embodier Realm.

However, even for someone as powerful and ancient as him, he had never heard of Yang Mei before.

"It's normal for you not to know how powerful this person is. When it comes to talents and abilities, in all of Pan Gu Universe, only Hong Jun came close to being on par with him. However, unlike Hong Jun, this guy has rarely shown himself to the world since Chaos was developed. If not for Hong Jun asking him to join forces to kill me, I wouldn't have known that such a person existed," said Luo Hou as he fiddled with the willow branch in his hand.

While sensing the brimming spatial energy contained within it, he started to reminisce about the past.

After all, he had suffered quite a lot back then because of Yang Mei.

Although he spoke harshly to him earlier, he knew no one in this universe could kill Yang Mei. It would be difficult to even injure him critically.

"The Firmament Empire's military strength is spread all over the place. If this item is as powerful as you say and can transport us directly to the Capital City of the Firmament Empire, we would win half the battle. After all, to defeat the enemy, we must first defeat their leader," the Endless Sky Imperial Commander of the Immortal Hall's Six Royals said.

If one had to pick which one among the ancient cultivators hated the Firmament Empire the most, it would be the Immortal Hall's Six Royals.

After all, Chu Kuangren was directly responsible for the Immortal Hall's current state.

"There's also another factor we need to consider. Besides Chu Kuangren, we also have Wu Han to deal with. That person is a Primordial, I'll have you know."

"Don't worry. We have someone to deal with him specifically," Luo Hou said confidently.

He would never fight a battle that he had no confidence in winning.

…

Inside a palace in the Firmament Empire, Gu Linglong was sitting on the throne, dealing with some affairs.

Meanwhile, Elder Ruyan was beside her, assisting her with her work.

"Sigh…"

Suddenly, Gu Linglong put down the scripture in her hand and let out a soft sigh. "It has been twenty thousand years. Where has that fool gone to now?"

"Our King is truly… Sheesh… I can't even find the words to describe him. I can't believe he left without even a notice."

Elder Ruyan also could not help but complain.

"Well, perhaps something happened that kept him from returning. Besides, twenty thousand years doesn't seem that long to me," Gu Linglong said.

That was right.

With their current cultivation levels, even two hundred million years would not be long for them, let alone twenty thousand years.

However, Gu Linglong was too young.

She was only slightly more than twenty thousand years old.

Twenty thousand years was equivalent to most of her current life.

Perhaps, if she had lived a little longer, she would feel more and more indifferent to the passage of time. By then, twenty thousand years would be nothing but a blink of an eye.

"My Queen, I can't believe you're still speaking for our King. Let me tell you, the moment he returns, I'll definitely give him a piece of my mind…"

Elder Ruyan continued chattering.

"Alright, alright. Let's talk about the matter at hand. What are those forces doing now?" Gu Linglong asked.

When she heard Gu Linglong bring up an important matter, Elder Ruyan's expression became stern. "Recent intel has it that they're beginning to gather their forces. War will be upon us soon."

"What about our defensive measures?"

"They're ready. The Celestial Demon cultivators, the Five Ways Divine Shadow Army, and some new allies that our King has gained from the Void Battlefield are ready to be deployed at any moment. We'll never let these people step an inch further into the Empire's domain!"

"Good…"
