I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Time flies.

After Wu Ming entered immortality, he found it even harder to feel the passage of time. Time could no longer leave any trace on him. He was merely in seclusion, and seven hundred years had passed in the world.

Deep within the quiet room, Wu Ming slowly opened his eyes. He exhaled softly, and a lotus platform interwoven with lightning silently appeared in the void before dissipating into specks of light.

"The Flame King's Heavenly Fire Wine is indeed effective. In just seven hundred years, I have taken a big step forward."

Wu Ming, radiating a faint halo, slowly descended from the floating air.

He could feel that his current strength was about 60-70% greater than when he first entered the Immortal Realm, which was quite a significant step forward in the initial Immortal Realm.

From the initial entry into immortality to the peak of the initial realm, the difference in immortal power is about two to three times. The difference seems significant, but in reality, for immortal beings, their lifespan is endless. Even if their cultivation speed is slow, it would take hundreds of thousands of years to reach the peak. Therefore, there is almost no significant difference in this aspect.

But Wu Ming is different.

His foundation was so solid that when he first entered the Immortal Realm, his own Immortal Power was already at an extremely high level. Now, he has increased it by another 60-70%, which means he is no less than any other peak Immortal Realm cultivator!

In other words, without relying on supreme treasures, he had already reached the peak of immortality based solely on his cultivation and strength in the Thunder and Slaughter lineages, and this was not yet his true limit.

"Subdue the demon!"

Wu Ming's eyes flashed, and suddenly he shouted.

He wanted to test whether he could fully control the Demon-Subduing Diagram with his current power.

The prerequisite for fully mastering the Demon-Subduing Diagram is to be able to simultaneously control the four supreme treasures centered around it, including the Demon-Suppressing Disc and the Demon-Slaying Sword. Previously, Wu Ming had found it extremely difficult to control them, but now, after hundreds of years of accumulating foundation and drinking the Heavenly Fire Wine refined by the Flame King, his own immortal power has grown much stronger. With a thought, all four supreme treasures within the Demon-Subduing Diagram immediately began to operate according to his will!
The four supreme treasures activated and then connected with the Demon Subduing Diagram, causing the surface of this divine diagram to emit points of light. The seemingly endless Dao traces and patterns began to shine, and a majestic and boundless power gradually unfolded.

"Although it's still a little bit raw, I can definitely handle it completely."

Wu Ming nodded slightly.

He is currently able to control the Demon-Subduing Diagram and wield four supreme treasures with it at the core. However, he still faces some pressure. If his cultivation level can be improved further, he will be able to control it completely at will.

The ultimate power of the Demon-Subduing Diagram is not limited to this. All the billions of killing soldiers inside can be manipulated by the 'Divine Weapon Array' and combined into one, which can unleash an even more terrifying killing power.

Wu Ming estimated that once his cultivation reached the peak of the initial stage of Immortality, he should be able to master this ultimate killing move.

but,

For him now, whether or not he wields this power is no longer of great significance.

With his current strength, he can wield the Demon-Subduing Diagram and is not afraid of any Immortal King. Even if he cannot defeat them, he can at least protect himself. Even if he can unleash the ultimate killing move of the Demon-Subduing Diagram and truly fight against the Immortal King, it is meaningless because the threat he faces is never those Immortal Kings, but the invasion and calamity of the Asura Demon Realm.

"It's time to go out."

Wu Ming's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

There are still at least two thousand years before the boundary between the two realms shatters and the calamity descends. The boundary won't collapse instantly; there will be some time in between. While it's a bit urgent for him, he still has a chance to cultivate to the peak of the initial stage. The real difficulty lies in comprehending the essence of the Law of Slaughter and the Law of Thunder, condensing these two laws into their origin, and stepping into the Immortal King Realm. Even with the inheritance of the ancient emperors Thunder Emperor and Black Emperor, giving him a significant advantage over ordinary immortals, comprehending this within just a few thousand years is still extremely difficult. This is the real challenge he must face.

To comprehend the essence of the laws and condense the origin within a few thousand years, it is certainly not enough to simply work in isolation. He needs to discuss the Dao with those immortal kings who have already condensed the power of the origin and gain insights from them.

"Before this..."

Wu Ming looked at the Demon-Subduing Diagram floating in front of him and suddenly flicked his finger.

hum! !

After the Demon-Subduing Diagram trembled slightly, two mysterious Daoist patterns instantly appeared on its surface.

--forward!

--OK!

These are the last two words of the Black Emperor's Nine True Words. Wu Ming had never obtained them before. They were hidden in the very core of the Demon Subduing Diagram. After he completely mastered the Demon Subduing Diagram and was able to control it fully, he obtained these two words with a thought.

"So that's how it is."

After instantly comprehending and understanding these two words of truth, Wu Ming murmured to himself, revealing a thoughtful expression.

As expected of an ancient emperor, the Black Emperor's last two words of the Nine-Character Mantra are even more profound than the previous seven, a power that only immortal beings can comprehend.

The "Xing" technique is not only a secret method for speed, but also contains many mysteries of the void, including the spatial mysteries of "a world within reach" and "a mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru". Only immortal beings can comprehend and master it.

Needless to say, the "previous" technique is even more so.

Sincerity leads to foresight, and this secret method naturally contains insights into the fate of time.

After creating the Nine Syllable Mantra, the Black Emperor probably spent millions of years exploring the Word "Xing" and Word "Qian" in greater depth, investigating the supreme power of time and the void. Ultimately, he gained insights from them, which brought him from another world to this place, and a plan was laid out around him.

At this moment, after mastering these two final key words, Wu Ming vaguely thought of the Black Emperor's plan, but in the end he just shook his head slightly, without thinking about it in depth or exploring the mystery of the words 'forward' and 'movement'.

These two words each contain the supreme mysteries of emptiness and time. Although he has now entered immortality and is qualified to explore them, he has no time left.

With the catastrophe imminent, in these final few thousand years, he must devote all his energy to his own cultivation and the refinement of the two origins of thunder and slaughter, leaving no energy to explore the secrets of the path ahead.

He could only hastily refine these two Dao techniques and combine them with the other seven characters he possessed to forcibly make them complete.

"Of all the King Realm Immortals, the Flame King came to me of his own accord, but I will personally visit the rest of you."

"But before that, there's one more thing to do." (End of Chapter)
