Chapter 1258: Yokai Kings Preparing To Retreat, Dark Tide Devouring The World, Bei Ming Slashing Sky Centipede King

The Yin Ghost World, similar to the Yang Human World, was in conflict as well.

The only difference was that in the Yang Human World, humans fought, and in the Yin Ghost World, most of them were lost souls and ghosts.

Fengdu Underworld City was not the strongest force in the Yin Ghost World, whereas Yincao Underworld City and Tashan Underworld City shared the same status.

There were other individual forces outside those three great Underworld Cities, and they were engaged in a complicated conflict.

Chu Kuangren planned to visit Yin Ghost World to comb things out when the time was right.

There could only be one Underworld City and one Heavenly Champion from there.

The other independent forces must either submit or be annihilated.

Back at Tushan Mountain, the battle between the Arch Gilded Immortals was happening fiercely. The Golden Crow King, Avarice King, and Dark Fox King’s alliance and the Emerald Hill Fox King and Tushan Queen were evenly matched.

Neither side was getting the upper hand, and it was difficult for an Arch Gilded Immortal to be killed, so the battle would probably last for a while.

On the other hand, on the battlefield for the True and Gilded Immortal, the fight was a lot clearer.

The alliance of the six Beast Ruler Tribes was slowly breaking up under Chu Kuangren’s Myriad Yokai Seal and Million Strong Underworld Army.

“D*mn it! If this continues, all the cultivators of the Dark Fox Tribe will perish here!” As the Dark Fox King clenched her teeth, a strong hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes.

“Retreat!”

Following her command, the cultivators of Dark Fox Tribes quickly disengaged with the Underworld Soldiers and fled the battlefield.

“Dark Fox King, what are you doing?” the Golden Crow King bellowed angrily.

“I’m saving my people from impending doom! Golden Crow King, can’t you see? Chu Kuangren has the Million Strong Underworld Army and the Myriad Yokai Seal. Our troops cannot take Tushan at all! If we continue to be stubborn, the number of casualties will only increase!” the Dark Fox King said.

The Golden Crow King’s expression shifted upon hearing her words.

He knew the Dark Fox King was right about their troops being at a disadvantage.

However, he refused to accept it! He refused to lose to Chu Kuangren a second time!

“Golden Crow King, don’t do this in a fit of pique. You’re sending your people to their deaths! Hurry up and retreat!” The Avarice King also sided with the Dark Fox King.

He, too, wanted to retreat. Other than being concerned about his people’s death, he was also worried about his own life.

The Tushan Queen and Emerald Hill Fox King were ridiculously powerful. Even with fighting two against four, they managed to even the battlefield.

In fact, they had considered the strength of Tushan Queen and Emerald Hill Fox King. With all six of them combined, they were confident enough to take on the two of them.

However, the Arch Gilded Immortal Underworld General and Bei Ming’s clone were out of their expectation.

The addition of the two unexpected forces robbed the six of them of their advantage in the battle.

“Retreat!” the Golden Crow King bellowed with seething anger.

Following his command, the six Beast Ruler Tribes’ allied armies swiftly retreated.

“Hahaha! Do you think you come and go as you wish? I still haven’t had enough fun. Don’t leave just yet!”

Someone cackled in laughter.

Bei Ming’s gaze settled on the Sky Centipede King, and a dark glow gleamed in his eyes. Then, he extended his hand, forming a huge pitch-black hand from surges of endless dark energy.

The boundless energy had locked on to the Sky Centipede King.

“Curse you! Don’t you dare go too far!”

The Sky Centipede King was furious. He transformed into his true form, a centipede of a million meters with thousands of legs, and rammed through the mountains.

The black palm strike hit his body and dented his shell, but the damage was nothing to the Sky Centipede King’s true form. As he spiraled up into the sky, endless ferocious qi was released into the air.

His enormous body shadowed heaven and earth.

“Hahaha. Do you really think I can’t do anything to you in your true form? Foolish!”

Bei Ming flew higher into the sky.

A massive amount of Celestial Demon qi swirled around him, bathing him in Immortal Sparks. “Northern Darkness Art, Dark Cataclysmic Current!!”

The Celestial Demon qi, together with the Daoist patterns, swirled and transformed into a dark current that gushed forward. In the blink of an eye, the realm was shadowed by its endless darkness that could devour the world.

A dark and silent Celestial Demon intent spread to every corner of Tushan Mountain.

Every yokai caught in the dark presence trembled uncontrollably, and the Sky Centipede King bore the brunt of that attack.

He was devoured by the dark currents conjured up by Bei Ming.

For a moment, he felt like he had sunk into the deepest parts of the sea with nothing but dead silence and absolute coldness. On top of that, a terrifying pressure assaulted him in every possible direction, crushing his body.

“T-This is an Embodier Technique?! An Embodier Technique cast by an Arch Gilded Immortal?!”

The Sky Centipede King was horrified.

In the Immortal World, it was widely acknowledged that the Embodier Technique was the strongest cultivation technique of them all, which only an Embodier could master and use.

Without any Opportunities of Fortune, it was even difficult for an Arch Gilded Immortal to master an Embodier Technique.

However, the Sky Centipede King was not only attacked by it, but he even sensed a unique presence from Bei Ming. In other words, the Embodier Technique might be Bei Ming’s own creation based on his Celestial Demon Dao!

A self-created Embodier Technique?!

Only an Arch Gilded Immortal nearing the realm of Embodier could do it with a ridiculously low success rate!

“Now that explains why his clone alone is that strong! He’s entering the Embodier Realm!”

That made the Sky Centipede King more terrified than ever.

The icy cold darkness continuously assaulted him, and the horrifying pressure crushed his body, part by part.

He mustered all his strength to fend off the invading darkness and tried to break free, but his efforts were futile.

A stronger power was brewing within the darkness.

“Crush!”

A cold voice sounded in the dark, followed by a beam carrying endless silence perforated his body.

A massive amount of poisonous blood splattered everywhere.

Bang!

A loud explosion later, the giant Sky Centipede fell to the ground from the sky and stirred up a dust storm.

All the yokai stared at the gigantic body blankly, visibly stunned. After all, the body belonged to the Sky Centipede King!

“Is the Sky Centipede King dead?!”

“How is this possible?!”

Many other yokai, especially those from the Sky Centipede Tribe, were dumbfounded by the inconceivable scene.

An Arch Gilded Immortal would rarely die, yet now a Yokai King in the Arch Gilded Immortal Realm had died in front of them just like that. It felt like a scene from a nightmare.

“A clone killed an Arch Gilded Immortal? How exactly powerful is Bei Ming?!” Chu Kuangren was rather curious.

He had analyzed Bei Ming before, and the result showed that Bei Ming was a top-tier Arch Gilded Immortal.

As for the definition of ‘top-tier’, it was rather vague, and Chu Kuangren did not further his investigation at that time.

Back then, his cultivation base was not high enough to parse out more information.

“According to the books, unlike the Immortal Realm, which has nine grades, the Arch Gilded is divided into Three Floral Crowns, Innate Five Qi, and Great Perfected. Has Bei Ming achieved the level of Great Perfected?”
