Chapter 1080 - 167: Chaotic Yellow Immortal Venerate’s Bomb Threat Theory
True Immortal Danding didn’t get up from his chair, just chimed in:
"This round of combat is a customary agreement between both sides; under each Immortal Venerate’s command there’s always a batch of Sect Leaders at True Immortal Great Perfection who need to break through."
"So these two Immortal Venerates squaring off is precisely to manufacture a war environment for breakthroughs."
True Immortal Mo Mei also laughed and said:
"They’re only setting up the board for the True Immortals under them, so we deliberately intensify the war. All of this is within our expectations, following their tempo. Opportunities for the rest of us True Immortals might not be that great."
"That’s why, when we profit off war, we might as well muddy the waters. Once things get muddy, we have a shot."
"We just didn’t expect this invading Civilization would pull a meteor strike out of nowhere."
Ning Zheng understood.
These True Immortals are all insanely bold.
Plotting against Immortal Venerates!
No wonder there was that rumor that every now and then some short‑sighted, self‑important True Immortal cultivator would try to provoke an Immortal Venerate, tugging on the Immortal Venerate’s beard...
Turns out they really are doing it just to break through, totally not afraid of dying!
Ning Zheng smiled, swept his gaze around: "Fellow Daoists, what do you think our Xirong Business Alliance should do?"
True Immortal Mo Mei pondered for a moment and said:
"It’s still two armies at war. As for the enemy, odds are they’ll be exploring those ancient Embers civilians blasted out by the four meteors."
"Exploring the ancient military forces walking out of the four meteor tombs! And then facing off against them! We also have to guard against Ghost Kings appearing among them!"
Ning Zheng understood: yet another great war is being lifted; the four meteor tomb instance nests are continuously spawning troops in the Immortal Realm.
Among them, who knows if there’s any resurrected Ancient‑Times ’Jiumu Qing’?
Those four meteor tombs have definitely already been dredged once.
But those Netherworld Immortal Venerates are setting up a scheme; it’s entirely possible they left a few powerful "Jiumu Qing" behind as Ghost Kings to stir up trouble in the Immortal Realm.
If things go well, he might snag another Jiumu Qing for himself?
A hint of anticipation flashed through Ning Zheng’s heart, because Immortal Venerate cubs are really handy; my Sword Casting Manor is exactly short on that kind of thing.
This Immortal Realm is getting more and more bizarre!
Can’t understand it, and can’t see through it either.
Anyway, just provide a platform for these Essence‑people to act as the Fourth Calamity, as players to go wild in the Immortal Realm, clearing the tomb instances scattered everywhere.
But right at that moment.
Chaotic Yellow Immortal Venerable spoke: "Everyone, that foreign Civilization might not only have this one meteor barrage, there could be a second wave."
Ning Zheng froze, looking at this Immortal Venerate hidden among the crowd.
You guys are playing for keeps?
You’ve got a second wave of bombs?
Chaotic Yellow Immortal Venerable said: "Those four falling meteors are all Space Immortal Venerate tombs, but the Life Immortal Venerate tombs might also have had a few pieces deployed by them, waiting in the dark to explode at any time."
The surrounding True Immortals instantly fell silent.
One True Immortal with shallow knowledge couldn’t help but ask: "All the Immortal Venerate tombs we’ve seen through history were Spatial Tombs... but we’ve never heard of these Life Tombs. With a world that huge, how would they secretly transport it to the Immortal Realm?"
"That’s not correct. A Space Immortal Venerate tomb is a world, but a Life Immortal Venerate tomb is not."
Chaotic Yellow Immortal Venerable said: "In the Ancient Times, the Space Immortal Venerate cut the world apart into separate All Heavens; naturally, his tombs are the All Heavens worlds he partitioned off as tombs."
"Whereas the Life Immortal Venerate, in the Ancient Times, evolved life. Where do you think his tomb is?"
The Immortals suddenly showed a trace of shock, as if they’d thought of something.
A True Immortal couldn’t help but say: "Could it be that the Life Immortal Venerate’s tomb is life itself?"
"Exactly."
Chaotic Yellow Immortal Venerable said: "All of you present have probably been sent by Immortal Venerates into Life Tomb explorations, but none of you have personally seen the true outline of a Life Tomb from the outside, have you?"
Some True Immortals shook their heads.
When they entered a Life Tomb, they all opened their eyes already inside.
Chaotic Yellow Immortal Venerable said: "This Life Immortal Venerate’s tomb is the Life Immortal Venerate’s Tao Fruit, wrapped in Tribulation Qi, lurking inside certain lifeforms, granting the parasitized life longevity."
"That parasitized life’s Divine Technique is: immortality. Placed among countless worlds, that’s the Celestial Destiny protagonist, bearing earth‑shattering fortunes."
When Ning Zheng heard this, he suddenly thought of something.
The three options at the very start of his fate gambling table.
One was the cultivation technique to become a Calamity incarnate, one was a server, and the last was a Mortal carrying the Tao Fruit of Longevity.
Now that he thought about it, that Mortal carrying the Tao Fruit of Longevity was likely some Mortal carrying a Life Immortal Venerate tomb.
After all, the Tao Fruit of Longevity... contains the Law Tao Rhyme of the Life Immortal Venerate’s Ancient Tomb.
"Looks like, if I’d chosen that Mortal with the Tao Fruit of Longevity back then, it would’ve been a different path entirely."
Ning Zheng sighed inwardly: "If I captured that person, I’d have a huge Life Immortal Venerate Ancient Tomb instance to explore, endless opportunities!"
But right now things are going pretty well for him too; he’s already opened a nearly ninety‑percent‑new Space Immortal Venerate Ancient Tomb, self‑use grade.
Which means that the Life Immortal Venerate tomb is portable, hidden inside a living being!
Those four Space Tomb mega‑bombs were directly shoved into the Immortal Realm...
And Mortals carrying Life Tombs were pre‑deployed into the Immortal Realm, ready for a second wave of suicide explosions?
Ning Zheng’s mind was a little chaotic: "These outside terrorists are planting bombs all over the Immortal Realm, doing nuclear deterrence?"
He decided he wouldn’t casually enter the Immortal Realm anymore.
This place is way too damned dangerous!
If he’s not careful just walking by, he’ll get blown up on the spot.
And this Chaotic Yellow Immortal Venerable is probably part of the faction invading the Immortal Realm; would he really be so kind as to tell us there are more bombs?
It’s obviously him threatening our Xirong: the bombs in my hand are already inside; watch out or I’ll blow up your Chongshan Town anytime and kill you!
And he’s not even afraid to let the other True Immortals know.
Because if you’re wielding a "nuclear deterrence" weapon, how can you deter anyone without telling them you have nukes?
You have to hold it in your hand and scare people with it; only then does it deter, only then does it have the greatest strategic value.
Thinking of this, Ning Zheng looked at the old man stroking his white beard with a leisurely expression, and felt a faint anger in his heart:
This Old Deng Chaotic Yellow Immortal Venerable is even threatening me, trying to force me to abandon neutrality?
One of these days I’m definitely going to park ghost‑flames... Ghost‑fire, at this Old Deng’s doorstep.
The surrounding True Immortals were all gloomy and unsettled; some cultivators even suspected that this Chaotic Yellow Immortal Venerable might be a rebel who snuck in?
Here to terrorize them?
Fortunately, though they were flustered, they weren’t panicking completely.
Who comes in here under their real identity, anyway? Only a small portion of people exposed themselves; another group is using their arch‑nemesis’s name.
They’re not particularly afraid someone will trace them through their alt characters and use their Mountain Gate as the blast center.
But in the end, you still have to have your true body run for it to really be safe.
Seeing the varied expressions on everyone’s faces, all scared of getting blown up, Chaotic Yellow Immortal Venerable chuckled, looking around at the crowd: "Everyone, you’d better act cautiously for a while. The Immortal Realm is in chaos; it’s not peaceful."
"These Immortal Venerate Ancient Tombs are the scariest. A True Immortal at Great Perfection in the absolute center of the blast will be blown to death on the spot; even if you’re not in the center, the black Tribulation Qi from the tomb kicked up by the explosion will splash onto you... and that makes it easy to die soon!"
Behind them, Jiucai Rong was completely numb!
Tribulation Qi?
So this really is nuclear radiation, huh. A nuke’s own blast isn’t actually that big; its wide‑area killing power comes from its massive radiation.
Same thing here. Once this bomb goes off, even if you’re not in the very center you’ll still catch the "radiation" disease?
"Heh heh heh, everyone, do be careful."
Chaotic Yellow Immortal Venerable reminded them with the air of a kindly elder.
So what if he’s exposed? He’s not afraid of anyone coming to check his water meter.
He’s a Destiny Immortal Venerate of the Divination type; who could possibly trace him back along the network to Divine him?
It’s always him opening the box on other people!
