Perfect Double Agent

But no one knew that this was only the effect of the corpses; if the dark forces wanted, even the living would not escape their fate.
"How much longer..."
Someone returned: a red-haired figure and a person carrying a golden gourd on their back. The two looked at the two people in the distance who had been personally visited by the Emperor's artifact with envy on their faces.
The White King is going to lead everyone to evolve together, which means they have followed the right person. The White King is not a selfish person. However, they are still far from understanding the Way of the Emperor.
"It should be soon. Is it our turn this time?" Kundi woke up and glanced at Chi Wang and Qu Chong. They would change their guard every few years, waiting for the elixir to be successfully made so that they could collectively make a small step forward, and then unify all the heavens.
Most importantly, Bai Ye will also be going to war. It's hard to imagine how much turmoil the birth of the White King will cause in this world. He is the most likely person to ascend to the throne of the Dark Emperor. This may be the first person in history to do so.
"Currently, the various realms are in the alliance, so we don't need to worry about them for now. Once they've all gathered together, we'll crush them all in one battle!" the Crimson King said. This was the reason the White King resurrected the ancient corpse—to gather the vital forces of the various realms, wipe them all out in one battle, and completely rewrite this era!
After all, their situation was very dangerous. There were five lurking true evil lands in front of them and unknown terrifying powerhouses on the other side of the Boundary Sea behind them. They didn't have much time left and had to finish everything before the two forces realized what was going on.
This feeling is both tense and exciting, like dancing on a tightrope over a cliff; one wrong step and they will face an abyss.
"We will win. We have it, and we have the White King." Kundi smiled. The White King had given everyone a possibility. The Emperor's Path was right in front of them. Even if it cost him his old bones, he would not back down.
Chapter 636 Before the Storm
"Is that the realm of gods you spoke of?"
Beyond the realm of gods, several figures stood side by side. Some were dressed in worn-out clothes, their Daoist robes almost rotten. Others were like stone statues, covered in dust. Still others had dry skin, yellow teeth, and only a few strands of withered yellow hair floating on their heads. In addition, there was a grown-up purple-haired girl who stood gracefully beside them, her figure elegant and charming. She looked at the vibrant world in the distance with a dazed expression in her eyes.
"Indeed, it is one of the strongholds of the dark forces. The God Realm and the Insect Realm have been educated and have begun to practice their methods." The old Taoist raised his eyelids and looked at the void beyond the two realms. There, the domain gate was vast and towered in the sky. From time to time, large dark legions would fly out from it. Every living being was solemn, yet could not hide their excitement and agitation.
That place should be the origin of darkness, and there must be supreme powerhouses, or even emperors, presiding over it. The White King, who was almost deified by the dark creatures, who went to conquer the heavens, is probably just an outstanding offspring.
"He didn't carry out a massacre; he probably wanted to use the power of the heavens to break through. Ancient texts also say that the appearance of each Heavenly Emperor is closely related to all living beings in the heavens. Once all the kings of the world are killed, the heavens will be under their control. They can say what is right and wrong, and no one can object." The old monster with a mouthful of yellow teeth sneered. This was a clever plan, but it was also tantamount to enslaving all living beings. Darkness has always been brutal and cold-blooded. Only those who truly care about the heavens can be called Heavenly Emperors, no matter how well they disguise themselves.
"Should we go and take a look? Rushing to touch it might cause unpredictable consequences. Now all the heavens are gathered to fight the darkness. If we're not there, those people won't be able to stop us and will be completely crushed." The stone statue emitted a wave of consciousness. It would be good to clear the source, but if the darkness in front is not cleared, all the heavens will be destroyed. There are advantages and disadvantages. Not to mention how powerful the darkness behind will be, the White King and the Emperor Killer are two sources of disaster.
"Let's go back first. If we can't even defeat those ahead, how can we possibly fight the source?" The old Taoist shook his head.
Who wouldn't want to eliminate the source? But if even the darkness of the heavens cannot be cleared away, what good is finding the source? It will only result in a few more corpses.
From this perspective, these old monsters are quite clear-headed.
……
"Why did you destroy our divine realm? Just because we didn't stand up against the darkness, you dared to annihilate our entire race!"
In a vast starry sky, the immense universe rises and falls. Above it, more than ten kings are filled with rage. It's not like they haven't tried to stop it before. The only elder of their clan has died in battle. Now, the entire universe is being ravaged by dark forces and is in utter chaos. It is the best time for them to develop. Unexpectedly, they have been blocked at their door by these old bastards.
They wouldn't be afraid if it were just one person, but these old bastards are too ruthless, more ruthless than the darkest of times. They'll wipe out their entire clan at the slightest provocation.
"Give us enough materials, royal artifacts, and royal corpses, and my clan will lend a hand." Blood Calamity paused for a moment before speaking. He had the ambition to devour the heavens and the heart of a Heavenly Emperor. He had long regarded the heavens as his prey and naturally did not want them to be occupied by darkness. He would fight against darkness sooner or later, but he did not expect that day to come so soon, leaving him little time to develop.
"This is the most rational choice. The blood calamity committed by your divine race is even greater than that of darkness. It caused such a great calamity, yet it is not as fast as the pollution. Even if you can create a hundred kings, this time is enough for darkness to create a thousand kings." The old Taoist glanced at the Blood Calamity and the others, left some divine materials, and departed with his men.
The gods are indeed outstanding in this regard. If darkness had not emerged and given enough time, they might have been able to conquer all the heavens. However, the emergence of darkness taught the gods a good lesson about what it means to create a king!
Blood Calamity's face was ashen, his fists clenched tightly. He hadn't expected the darkness to have such methods, which not only disrupted his plans but also forced him to join the battle.
"Shall we stop?" Some kings were unwilling to accept this. So many heroes had died in the king-making plan. They had devoted the strength of their entire clan, and now it was all over. Who could accept that?
"What good will it do if we don't give up? We can create one, but darkness can create a hundred. Once all the heavens are defeated, how will we fight those Dark Immortal Kings who are blooming everywhere?" an elder said grimly.
This is the most awkward situation their gods are in right now. They can't compete with darkness in creating kings, and there are old monsters who say they've killed too many people and threaten to exterminate them. If it weren't for their blood feud with darkness, they would all want to join the darkness and turn around and smash those old guys' heads.
While the heavens were in action, in the void of that southern land, a colossal furnace was also trembling.
The furnace, suspended in the void, rapidly shrank under a series of hand seals. Accompanied by a rich medicinal fragrance and light rain, it distorted the void itself, causing a group of tall figures to involuntarily twitch their noses and become completely intoxicated.
At the same moment, strange and profound sounds of the Great Dao resounded throughout this world. As the sounds echoed, one after another, living beings emerged from the furnace, including true dragons and phoenixes, auspicious birds and beasts, and even stars and the universe. Various strange phenomena appeared and flew around the furnace.
But strangely, they were wailing, their bodies were becoming ethereal, as if they were heading towards the end of their lives. Even the starry sky and the heavens and earth were decaying, not turning into dust, but into ruins, as if returning to the end of the world, where all tangible and intangible matter would become ruins.
It was a very strange feeling. They didn't know exactly what kind of pill the White King was refining, but he was using a lot of powerful medicines and rare treasures, and even the primordial spirit fragments refined from the essence blood of the king that they had collected.
Every king can refine pills, and they are most skilled at using crickets. But the White King is different. It seems that he refined the pills based on his own understanding of cultivation and the development of his own potential. This is more like a powerful medicine, which can probably further tap into their potential.
Only such elixirs are most suitable for them.
Is it going to work out?
Everyone's hearts trembled, and they didn't want to blink. They were so eager to see what was happening. Every time the furnace vibrated, their hearts skipped a beat. They hadn't been this excited in years.
"boom!"
The furnace shook again, and all the strange phenomena disappeared, merging into the furnace body, which had shrunk to three feet tall, and turning into the mark of ruins. At this moment, the furnace body was simple and lifeless, pitch black, and there was no trace of the wonders from before.
"Failed?" Wang wondered to himself.
Everyone waited quietly, and that wait lasted for dozens of days.
The lifeless furnace, like a seed buried in ashes, has miraculously given birth to a faint glimmer of life after nearly eighty days. This has once again startled the waiting kings, as if what they are seeing before them is not a pill furnace, but an interpretation of the Great Dao.
This was a mysterious change. As time went by, the furnace body began to gradually bloom, like a primordial lotus creating the world. With the blooming, an indescribable initial vitality was born from it, as if all things were beginning to revive.
Heaven and earth are reappearing, the starry sky is illuminating, and all things and spirits are manifesting, like the evolution of the Great Dao runes, and the initial outline drawn by the patterns of heaven and earth, which is incredibly wondrous.
However, in this process, this real void was affected. Dao lotuses grew everywhere, like a sea of stars rising and falling. The initial vitality spread, rippling like water ripples. Wherever they passed, dead stars were revived, withered grass was reborn, and all directions were transformed into a vast ocean of vitality. Furthermore, auspicious waterfalls fell from the sky, enveloping this world.
"It's done..."
The kings whispered among themselves, looking toward the white-robed figure in front of them. There, the furnace had turned to ash, and nine round, flawless seeds crawled out of the ash. Some of them transformed into small beasts, their pure eyes curiously looking around. The bolder ones even dared to tear at the white king's hem.
Some transformed into birds filled with sacred light, which would spread their wings and try to fly away.
"Stop them!" Kundi roared, his old face flushed with excitement. The higher the level of the pill, the more intelligent it was. They had seen beings that had taken human form from immortal pills before, so this was not strange.
But the bird, which was still quite bewildered, transformed into a giant dragon upon seeing him make a move. It was filled with the radiant light of the Great Dao and accelerated to the horizon with astonishing speed. Even more strangely, the moment it turned around, it transformed into a small person, like a vessel of the Great Dao, with the Great Dao emanating from it with every gesture.
"This..." Kundi's eyes widened, he swallowed hard, and reached out to grab it.
Not only him, but others also made their moves: Old Demon, Meng An, Wu Shang, Zi Long, Dao Wang, Qu Chong, and Chi Wang, one by one, were already impatient. Only one little beast was left, still foolishly tearing at Bai Ye's hem.
Bai Ye grabbed it and tossed it to the Blood Phoenix, who had been waiting nearby. He then rummaged through the ashes and pulled out a semi-transparent, semi-illusory pill.
"The Great Dao is inherently flawed and cannot be perfect. This applies to people and pills alike." Gu Zu stood on the other side, calmly looking at the half-pill. There are no truly perfect people or things in the world; everything has its flaws.
"Grandpa sees things clearly after all." Bai Ye smiled and handed over the pill.
"I'm already very satisfied with how far I've come." Gu Zu glanced at the somewhat serene and ethereal Blood Phoenix, though he had considered killing her more than once in the past.
Blood Phoenix seemed to have heard something, glanced sideways, but did not back down, her gaze calm and undisturbed.
"The past is the past, and the future is still long."
"I understand." Blood Phoenix nodded slightly. Perhaps in the eyes of other kings, this was because the two races had always been at odds and were trying to resolve their conflicts, but they knew in their hearts that they had no conflicts at all, and now there was no need to talk about conflicts.
This is an evolutionary journey. Everyone who obtained the elixir voluntarily retreated to a distant place to cultivate in seclusion, including the Blood Phoenix and the Gu Ancestor.
"To eat or not to eat..." Kundi sighed inwardly. He was indeed a lone wolf, but he had a disciple whom he regarded as his own son. Wushuang was leading the Dark Immortal Kings and attacking all directions. In recent years, he had made rapid progress. He was less arrogant than before and more composed. He was the number one among the second-generation kings, which made him more and more gratified.
“Everyone will have it, the rest of you don’t need to rush.” Bai Ye walked over. Kun Di was indeed an executioner in the past, including Tun Tian, An Lan and others, he did not deny it, but since he was put on the position of leading the alien realm, he also took on the karma of everyone and was subtly changing everyone.
Whether it was dark or not, that didn't matter. What mattered was that they were all people who were willing to follow him, willing to risk their lives. He only said one thing: "Conquer all the heavens," and these people went up without even flinching. That was enough.
He is not a selfish person, but he is not a dictator either. He will lead everyone to evolve and reach a higher level, and he will listen to the opinions of those below him, because these people have already entrusted their lives to him.
As the commander of a warship, he bears the fate of all living beings on board, which is also his responsibility.
"Give me your lives, and I will lead you to glory." Bai Ye patted Kundi on the shoulder; trust is that simple.
If intrigue and backstabbing prevail, even the largest warship will one day sail into an abyss.
……
"It's here, in the south! All the darkness is converging towards the south!"
"How could it be so fast!" In the Three Realms, all the kings were shocked. This speed was too fast; they hadn't even fully integrated yet.
What's in the South?
"Yes, my king!"
This small world was torn open, and a group of old monsters led one king after another from the outside, causing the several kings inside to collectively tremble.
Whether they were overlords or powerful rulers, they were all looking at the four old monsters at the head, one of whom was wearing an old Taoist robe and had a wooden hairpin in his hair.
One man had a sallow complexion and grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. The other man was burly with eyes like copper bells, dressed in animal skin clothing, and holding a gray stone halberd that was pitted and covered in dried blood from ordinary ferocious beasts. They were not mistaken; it was indeed an ordinary ferocious beast.
The last person was a black stone statue, with disheveled hair, an indistinct face, and an aura of decay that was hard to describe.
"You are... the Dao Ancestor!" After a moment of silence, the powerful ruler's eyes lit up, and he stared at the old Daoist with surprise, as if his childhood memories had been recalled.
"It is I, the Three-Headed Beast. I was fortunate enough to visit your temple when I was young and received your protection." The male ruler spoke, revealing his three heads.
But his words really startled all the kings. This three-headed beast had been famous for many years and was a powerful figure from three eras ago. If this was the case, how long must the old Taoist priest have lived!
"The ancestor of the Dao Clan... could he be the founder of the Dao Clan, just like that old Buddha?" Some kings put away their cold gaze, their attitude changing instantly, and instead showed awe in their eyes.
Wang looked excitedly at the burly man, "You wouldn't happen to be my clan's ancestor, would you? The one who has existed since the era of the fallen emperors!"
"The Fall of the Emperors..." the burly man murmured, but did not refute it. He did indeed come from the era of the Fall of the Emperors, but he was not the other party's ancestor. He had only lived in that village and casually left some basic cultivation methods there. Later, he heard that the village had grown strong and eventually produced a king who led his people to establish the Boundless Dynasty in that universe.
"Damn it... Where did these old monsters come from!" The kings were shocked, and some remained on guard. The fact that these people could get here without anyone noticing was enough to demonstrate their power.
"What do you mean by 'my king'?"
"There is always a person behind the Dark Kings who leads the dark forces. He is known as the White King and is the head of the Dark Kings. Some people have seen him take action against the Immortals in the river of time."
"To take action on the river of time..." The kings' hearts skipped a beat. How powerful must one be to do that?
The old Taoist continued, "That's not the key point. The problem is that he possesses a method to corrupt the dead, which will cause darkness to grow and eventually take over the heavens."
"It's pollution again... After waiting for so many years, darkness has finally appeared..." The burly man beside him remained silent. This was the same effect he knew about an Origin Artifact from back then. Everyone believed that the source of darkness came from the Boundary Sea, but he went against the grain. Over the years, he had traveled to many places in the heavens and discovered many ancient sites, all of which proved the terrifying and enormous power of darkness.
But that day has finally come. I wonder what became of that homeland of his, whether its inhabitants are still searching for the mysteries of darkness like he was, or whether it was destroyed by the Immortal Realm...
Unfortunately, he hasn't been back for too many eons. If it weren't for the emergence of darkness, he would have almost forgotten his homeland. Now that this matter is over, he should go back and take a look.
Chapter 637 War Begins
The southern lands.
The kings gathered, their armies densely packed and stretching as far as the eye could see, arrayed in the void like a still, black ocean. The armor shrouded in black mist, the cold gleam of their spears or gleaming halberds, filled the air with a chilling atmosphere.
There are also many old people here, such as Gu Wu, Gu Yi, An Cang, Zi Cang, Qi Min, Chi Ming and others. They have also experienced the Time-Space Realm. Although they did not become kings, they have become the Ten Fierce Level. They only came from the rear in recent years to lead the legion in battle.
In front of the Ten Fiends and Quasi-Kings were a group of tall and imposing figures, nearly ninety in total, standing in a row in front of the army, looking at the platform ahead without glancing to the side.
