Chapter 4656: Heavenly Roar Immortal Lord

In the central part of the Chaos Continent lay a vast and boundless verdant mountain range, where the constant roars of beasts echoed. Numerous Chaos Beasts could be seen, along with an extensive bluestone square and a towering, entirely black pagoda. The pagoda was inscribed with countless profound runes; this was the Mother Pagoda of the Ten-Directions Parent-Child Pagoda.

Several Dao Ancestor-stage Chaos Beasts, including Hai, Xiang, and Qu, stood by, their gazes fixed on the Mother Pagoda. One by one, Chaos Beasts entered the Mother Pagoda to perform a ritual. Some successfully evolved for the fourth time, but most failed to do so.

Kui was also among them. It had been successfully selected during the Hundred Tribes Grand Assembly, earning a spot to perform the ritual within the Mother Pagoda.

Kui had previously entered the Immortal Chaos Tomb with four King Beasts to seek treasure, but it was the only one to emerge alive; the other four King Beasts had perished.

After returning to the Hunxie King Tribe, it had devoured a ten-colored crystal core, cultivated in seclusion, and advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Grand Perfection stage. However, for further evolution, it still needed the Mother Pagoda.

A short while later, Kui entered the Mother Pagoda.

Xiang's gaze was intently fixed on the Mother Pagoda; it dared not even breathe.

Before this, several King Beasts had performed rituals within the Mother Pagoda, but none had successfully evolved again.

Not long after, Kui emerged from the Mother Pagoda, now displaying ten colors, its eyes filled with excitement.

It had successfully undergone its fifth evolution, transforming into a ten-colored Chaos Beast.

"A fifth evolution, Xiang! Congratulations!" Qu offered its congratulations, its eyes filled with envy.

"Finally, another member of our tribe has achieved five evolutions," Hai sighed. "Wasn't the last one thirty million years ago?"

"Indeed! That was Yuan from the Tumot King Tribe, and it hadn't even mastered a Supreme Law," Qu said, his tone full of envy.

Even among ten-colored Chaos Beasts, there were variations in strength; those who mastered a Supreme Law were significantly more powerful. Kui, notably, had mastered the Law of Space.

"Excellent, haha," Xiang exclaimed, looking visibly excited.

"My success today is all thanks to the nurturing of Lord Teng and our Ancestor," Kui said, bowing towards the Mother Pagoda.

It was well aware that without devouring the ten-colored crystal core and enhancing its primordial power, it might not have been able to achieve the fifth evolution.

The primordial power within most Chaos Beasts was negligible, but the crystal cores of ten-colored Chaos Beasts contained a significantly stronger primordial force.

"I hope you can advance to the Dao Ancestor stage and enhance your power," a deep male voice emanated from the Mother Pagoda.

"I will obey Lord Teng's command," Kui responded. It desired to reach the Dao Ancestor stage, but that would require rare immortal elixirs and miraculous medicines.

"The ritual concludes here. Return to your respective places," commanded the Ten-Directions Parent-Child Pagoda.

"Yes, Lord Teng," the numerous Chaos Beasts responded in unison. Xiang and Kui then departed, returning to the Hunxie King Tribe.

Xuanwu City, an underground city controlled by the Wang family.

Wang Lin stood before Wang Changsheng, wearing a top-grade Chaos Armor. His aura was as vast as an ocean, indicating his successful advancement to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage. Wang Yixin, Wang Tuntain, and Wang Mengli stood nearby.

"Congratulations, Wang Lin! You've also reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage," Wang Tuntain congratulated him.

"Without my master, I wouldn't be where I am today," Wang Lin replied gratefully.

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "You've just reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, so take good care of yourself. Afterwards, you'll accompany me to the True Dragon Tribe's celebration." He knew it hadn't been easy for Wang Tuntain, Wang Lin, Wang Mengli, and Wang Chan to follow him to this point, especially after the Gold-Devouring Ant and Wood Demon had perished during lightning tribulations. As for Wang Yang, who had joined them partway, the emotional bond was naturally weaker.

Wang Yixin took out a golden, continuously shimmering Dharma Plate, cast a spell, and her face lit up with joy. "Old Ancestor, Wang Yuan has successfully opened all 360 immortal apertures and advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage!" she exclaimed excitedly.

Wang Yuan was the Wang family's guardian spirit beast, residing on Green Lotus Island and serving as a key cultivation project. His advancement to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage meant the Wang family could deploy more experts to develop in the Chaos Continent. Wang Yuan had already cultivated an immortal body but had not yet mastered a Supreme Law.

"That's excellent news! It means Green Lotus Island's defenses will be even stronger," Wang Changsheng said with a smile.

The Wang family's guardian spirit bird in the lower realm was the Thunder Phoenix, but unfortunately, it had not been able to advance to the fifth rank.

Wang Yixin took out another golden shimmering Dharma Plate, cast a spell, and then her brows furrowed. "Old Ancestor," she said, "a Great Luo Golden Immortal from the Fierce Roar Tribe is visiting and has specifically asked to see you."

"Which Great Luo Golden Immortal?" Wang Changsheng inquired.

The Fierce Roar Tribe was one of the Four Great Demon Tribes, possessing immense strength and overseen by a Dao Ancestor.

"Immortal Lord Tianhou!" Wang Yixin reported. "He possesses late Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation. He had already cultivated an immortal body tens of millions of years ago, so after all these years, he might have achieved a top-tier immortal body."

"Where is he now?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"In the reception hall, Old Ancestor Qingcheng is currently hosting him," Wang Yixin replied.

"Understood. I'll leave things here to you; I'll go back first," Wang Changsheng said before leaving Xuanwu City.

***

Green Lotus City, reception hall.

Wang Qingcheng was casually sipping tea and chatting with a robust, golden-robed man. The man had large hands and feet, exuded a strong killing aura, and his demonic energy soared to the sky.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, is Immortal Lord Taihao unavailable?" Immortal Lord Tianhou inquired.

Just as Wang Qingcheng was about to answer, Wang Changsheng's voice rang out: "Fellow Daoist Bian, your esteemed presence brings great honor to our Wang family." As his words concluded, Wang Changsheng entered the room, a smile on his face.

"I have long heard of Fellow Daoist Wang's great renown," Immortal Lord Tianhou said, his gaze fervent. "I have always wished to spar with you. I wonder if you would grant me this opportunity?" He had been stuck at a bottleneck for tens of millions of years and hoped that sparring with a fellow cultivator might help him overcome it.

"Sparring?" Wang Changsheng looked troubled. It wasn't that he was afraid, but he didn't want to agree too readily.

Immortal Lord Tianhou flipped his right hand, revealing a golden storage bracelet. "This contains five sets of materials for refining a top-grade Chaos Armor," he stated. "If I win, Fellow Daoist Wang will help me refine one. If I lose, all these materials will be yours. How does that sound?" This arrangement guaranteed Wang Changsheng would profit regardless of the outcome.

Even the Fierce Roar Tribe, which possessed Fourth-tier Immortal Artifact Masters, couldn't guarantee the successful refinement of a single top-grade Chaos Armor from seven sets of materials. Immortal Lord Tianhou had long heard of Wang Changsheng's mastery in artifact refining, which was why he made this proposition.

"Since Fellow Daoist Bian is so sincere, then we can have a friendly spar," Wang Changsheng said. "Let's go outside the city. How about limiting it to three moves?"

"There's no need for such trouble; one move will suffice," Immortal Lord Tianhou replied, his face brimming with confidence.

"Alright, I, too, would like to experience Fellow Daoist Bian's divine abilities. Please," Wang Changsheng agreed, making an inviting gesture.

Immortal Lord Tianhou leaped into the air and flew out, with Wang Changsheng and Wang Qingcheng following closely behind. They left Green Lotus City and ascended above a vast, boundless grassland.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you must be careful," Immortal Lord Tianhou warned. "I can fuse multiple laws."

Wang Changsheng's expression tightened. This was the first time he had encountered a Great Luo Golden Immortal who had mastered the Fusion Aperture Art.
