Seeing the old man's figure almost completely disappear into the passage of time, a sense of fear suddenly arose in everyone's hearts.
What kind of despair must one feel when watching an immortal being gradually and completely wiped out of this world?
Many people have even given up, thinking that they only have one life and what if they can't withstand the backlash?
Unbearable—this is more terrifying than death!
However, the old man showed no sign of emotion, as if he had given up resisting. He simply closed his eyes and focused on the dazzling sword light in his mind.
"Did it ultimately fail?"
"Indeed, how could the path of the Supreme Immortal King be so easily comprehended?"
The Three Burials Immortal King looked at the old man who had almost vanished into nothingness and couldn't help but smile wryly. There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Seeing a powerful figure from the same era disappear before his eyes, he couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow.
Perhaps, this is for the best.
However, at that moment...
Suddenly, the Heaven-Slaying Sword in the old man's hand emitted an endless, terrifying aura. All the laws of the entire Sea of Laws converged on the Heaven-Slaying Sword, merging and condensing into an ancient and vast wave.
At that moment, the crowd vaguely saw a figure in white standing on the other side of endless time, his entire body radiating a dazzling immortal light, as if reversing the river of time, and in an instant, he actually merged with the old man's body.
This bizarre scene sent chills down everyone's spine.
"That figure looks familiar... Could it be... the Supreme Mystic Immortal King!"
"How could that be? Didn't that person perish long ago?"
"Across endless ages, could it be that another supreme immortal king is about to be resurrected?"
Feeling this vast aura, everyone felt completely breathless. At this moment, an unfathomable and terrifying aura flowed within the old man's body, which had originally exuded an aura of decay. The endless river of time was stirred by it, and time itself was shaken.
The Three Burials Immortal King instinctively felt that he had missed a heaven-defying opportunity!
At this moment, the old man's body, which was originally so illusory and blurry that it was almost invisible, gradually became clear, and blazing immortal light bloomed, with a vast aura of immortality surging like a tide.
Early True Immortal...Mid True Immortal...Late True Immortal...Peak True Immortal!
The old man's aged appearance and decaying aura had vanished.
His bones began to grow, and his flesh and blood were nourished by the immortal light. His whole body underwent a tremendous change, exuding a vigorous life force. His black hair was draped over his shoulders, and he was full of heroic spirit. His eyebrows were like stars and his eyes were like those of a peerless god or demon!
He held the Heaven-Slaying Sword in his hand, ancient and mysterious chaotic light descending, revealing countless worlds behind him. He simply swung the Heaven-Slaying Sword lightly, and a shocking sword light slashed down towards those countless worlds, tearing apart the void, destroying countless universes, and manifesting a long river of time. This sword slashed into the river of time.
In a daze, everyone saw countless sword lights overlapping, illuminating the entire river of time!
"This... this can't be that he's about to become a Celestial King, can it?"
An ancient immortal looked on incredulously, as if he couldn't believe it; this earth-shattering scene was completely beyond the realm of immortals!
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a Dao-proving Immortal King.
He was filled with extreme remorse at this moment. He had been gloating when he saw Li Xuan about to perish, but now this scene made him insanely jealous.
Celestial King!
This is a true being who stands at the pinnacle of all living beings. One person is a royal family, and is an unparalleled powerhouse throughout the Immortal Realm!
Now that Li Xuan has not only survived fate but has also received such great fortune, it's impossible for him not to be envious.
Perhaps... I was wrong.
"I shouldn't have given up like this!"
At this moment, the Three Burials Immortal King felt deep regret, for there was actually a wisp of the divine thought of the Supreme Profound Immortal King within that supreme immortal sword!
However, in the eyes of the Three Burial Immortal King, the value of the Heaven-Slaying Sword was not worth the risk of bidding 400 million Destiny Points. But if there was a divine thought of the Tai Xuan Immortal King in it, it would be equivalent to having the Tai Xuan Immortal King, who was only one step away from becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, personally imparting his teachings!
Immortal Kings are divided into Ordinary Immortal Kings, Immortal King Giants, and Supreme Immortal Kings!
Ordinary Immortal Kings merely attain enlightenment over the course of time, stepping one foot into the river of time, possessing the characteristics of an Immortal King. A world with an Immortal King is called a Great Realm, ruling over countless worlds. A race with an Immortal King is called a Royal Race, intimidating all the heavens.
Immortal King giants, on the other hand, leave their names on the other side of the long river of time. Their names are not forgotten and they can be revived even if they perish. Only the Immortal Realm and a few other great realms are qualified to give birth to an Immortal King giant.
As for the Supreme Immortal King, beings who reach this level are few and far between even in the Immortal Realm. They are unaffected by karma, and the long river of time is nothing to them. As long as they want, they can take action without any hindrance, even if they are not in the same space-time.
The Three Burials Immortal King was merely a giant among the Immortal Kings, and he still had a long way to go before becoming a Supreme Immortal King. The legacy left behind by a Supreme Immortal King, especially one who was only one step away from becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, was extremely rare for the Three Burials Immortal King!
Even if it means falling from the ranks of Immortal Kings, it would be worth it!
It's a pity that a single wrong decision caused them to miss out on an incredible opportunity.
"I absolutely cannot miss the next item, no matter what!" The Three Burials Immortal King secretly vowed to himself.
Li Xuan, the True Immortal who won the bid for the Zhutian Sword, opened his eyes at this moment, as if he had been reborn. His powerful aura surged, causing the entire auction house to tremble, but it quickly dissipated into nothingness.
"You made the right bet!"
"The Heaven-Slaying Sword, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique—I, Li Xuan, will certainly live up to the kindness of Senior Tai Xuan in imparting his teachings, and I will surely make the name of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique resound throughout the Immortal Realm!"
Although Li Xuan did not directly break through to the Immortal King realm, it was not that he was unable to break through, but rather that this world could not bear the proof of an Immortal King's path.
If this were in the Immortal Realm, Li Xuan might have directly attained the Dao and become an Immortal King based on that one opportunity!
"Thank you, Master of the Field, and thank you, Senior Sanzang, for your kindness." Li Xuan bowed respectfully towards the depths of the starry sky, and then bowed respectfully to Immortal King Sanzang.
This is the grace of attaining enlightenment!
"Young man, I have some regrets," the Three Burials Immortal King sighed. If he had known that there was a divine thought of the Supreme Profound Immortal King within the Heaven-Slaying Sword, he would never have so easily handed over this supreme immortal sword.
However, the Three Burials Immortal King was still a man of Immortal King's mind, and he quickly adjusted himself, smiling as he said, "But the victor is king, the loser is villain. This is your opportunity. Perhaps next time we meet, I will address you as a fellow Daoist."
He could naturally see that as long as Li Xuan could leave this world and go to a great realm or immortal domain, he would definitely be able to successfully break through to the Immortal King realm.
