Eight days after the Nine Firmament Meet, the sun rose and daybreak arrived.
Avici was still dark and sinister.
In the darkness, a figure could vaguely be seen sitting in a lotus position motionlessly, as though he had fused with the Hell.
Suddenly!
The figure released purple lights that purged away the surrounding darkness, revealing a face with a silver mask—it was the Martial Dao Prime Body.
A purple halo surrounded the body of the Martial Dao Prime Body and runes circulated on it in a mysterious and powerful manner!
A moment later, the purple halo suddenly expanded and enveloped the gigantic secret chamber.
Before long, the purple halo retracted rapidly and entered the body of the Martial Dao Prime Body.
The Martial Dao Prime Body stood up with two purple flames burning in his eyes—his aura had already reached its peak!
A perfected True Martial Dao Body!
When he was at greater mastery of the True Martial realm, the Martial Dao Prime Body could suppress ordinary minor Grotto-heaven Immortal Kings barehanded in melee combat.
However, if an Immortal King expert released his minor Grotto-heaven, it would be difficult for the Martial Dao Prime Body to suppress him.
Back in the Fiend Cave, the reason why the Martial Dao Prime Body could kill a few Fiend Kings was because that was the tomb of Fiend Emperor Apocalypse and no Grotto-heavens could be released.
But now that the True Martial Dao Body was perfected, the Martial Dao Prime Body speculated that he could probably crush minor Grotto-heavens with his physique and blood qi alone!
In reality, the Martial Dao Prime Body had yet to advance to the next realm of the Martial Dao that corresponded to the Grotto-heaven realm.
However, in terms of strength, the perfected True Martial Dao Body of the Martial Dao Prime Body could already suppress minor Grotto-heaven Immortal Kings!
Of course, if he was up against Supreme Immortal Kings with major Grotto-heavens, it would still be difficult for the Martial Dao Prime Body to defend once the Grotto-heavens were released.
The difference between a minor Grotto-heaven and a major Grotto-heaven seemed like a single word.
However, the difference in strength was immense!
The Martial Dao Prime Body left Avici and arrived above Tie Wei Mountain, punching the void casually.
Creak!
The void trembled and cracks appeared!
Given the current strength of the Martial Dao Prime Body, he could tear through the void at any moment and teleport a long distance even without the help of the Hell Suppression Tripod!
Initially, this was a power that only Grotto-heaven realm experts could control.
The Martial Dao Prime Body tore through the void and entered the spatial tunnel, teleporting back to Tianhuang Sect.
As though he sensed something, Heavenly Wolf's ears twitched and he opened his eyes warily. He saw the Martial Dao Prime Body descending above Tianhuang Sect.
"Everyone, please head to the Tianhuang Hall. I've got something to discuss."
The voice of the Martial Dao Prime Body entered the ears of Thunder Monarch Heavenly Wrath and the others with extreme precision.
The Seven Emotions Fiend Generals exited seclusion at the same time!
Tianhuang Hall.
"What?!"
When he heard the decision of the Martial Dao Prime Body, Heavenly Wolf was suddenly shocked and shrieked, "You're going to the Nine Firmament Meet?"
Thunder Monarch Heavenly Wrath and the others frowned with grim expressions as well.
"It won't just be the immortals of the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain at the Nine Firmament Meet. The monks of the Pure Land of Bliss will be present as well."
The Thunder Monarch said in a deep voice, "I heard that the two domains even sent more than 20 Supreme Immortal Kings and more than a hundred ordinary Immortal Kings for this Nine Firmament Meet. They have a large force and they're not taking things lightly."
The Thunder Monarch had a blood feud with the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.
His son, daughter-in-law and even his best friend, Perfected Immortal Burial Night, were killed by the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.
However, the Thunder Monarch had not made any moves all these years.
That was because the Thunder Monarch knew that given the current strength of Tianhuang Sect, they could not fight against the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.
Right now, he only had a minor Grotto-heaven and could not fight against King Jin who had a major Grotto-heaven!
Furthermore, the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom was located in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.
If any faction of the Fiend Domain attacked the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, Divine Firmament Palace would not sit by idly. Even the other sects and factions of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain would most likely stand out.
The Thunder Monarch knew that Tianhuang Sect was only at its nascent stage. In terms of foundation and strength, they were far inferior to heaven-grade factions such as the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, let alone the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.
And now, by heading to the Nine Firmament Meet, the Martial Dao Prime Body was not only going against the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, but the entire Nine Firmament Immortal Domain and even the Pure Land of Bliss!
This was no different from striking a stone with an egg.
"It's fine."
The Martial Dao Prime Body said, "I had another breakthrough in my seclusion this time round."
Everyone was invigorated and delighted.
"Mmm?"
The Thunder Monarch scanned the Martial Dao Prime Body with his spirit consciousness and revealed a puzzled expression.
He could not tell the cultivation realm of the Martial Dao Prime Body. However, he could vaguely sense that the latter had yet to control the power of a Grotto-heaven.
In other words, the Martial Dao Prime Body had yet to reach the Grotto-heaven realm.
"Can you defeat an Immortal King?"
The Thunder Monarch attempted to ask.
The Martial Dao Prime Body said frankly, "Ordinary Immortal Kings are not a problem for me, but I can't win against Supreme Immortal Kings."
"Wha—"
The Thunder Monarch hesitated.
At the Nine Firmament Meet, there were more than 20 Supreme Immortal Kings alone!
However, when he saw the resolute gaze of the Martial Dao Prime Body, as though he had made up his mind, he did not persuade further and said in a deep voice, "I'll go down and make arrangements to gather the army and prepare to head over together!"
"There's no need."
The Martial Dao Prime Body shook his head gently. "I'll just bring two people with me to the Nine Firmament Meet this time round. Qiu Siluo and Gu Tongyou."
Qiu Siluo's heart skipped a beat as she suddenly recalled something.
Back when the Martial Dao Prime Body heard that Zither Immortal Meng Yao sent people to hunt them down in the Fiend Domain, he expressed his intention of standing up for them.
It's said that the four great fairies were all at the Nine Firmament Meet.
Now that the Martial Dao Prime Body wanted to bring them along, it was definitely to take revenge for them.
Gu Tongyou had a melancholic gaze and exchanged glances with Qiu Siluo—it was clear that he had guessed this as well.
Qiu Siluo said hurriedly, "Sect Master, both of us understand your intentions. However, you must not put yourself at risk for us…"
The Martial Dao Prime Body waved it off and interrupted Qiu Siluo. "Your matter is only one of the reasons. I have another motive for heading to the Nine Firmament Meet."
"I'll go too!"
Yan Beichen said coldly.
He did not ask the Martial Dao Prime Body why the latter wanted to head there nor did he intend to.
He merely knew that no matter what the Martial Dao Prime Body did or how strong his opponents were, he would choose to fight alongside the Martial Dao Prime Body!
"There's no way I'm going to miss such a lively event."
Demoness Ji chuckled. "Back in the Fiend Cave, both of us managed to escape death. What's there to fear for a mere Nine Firmament Meet?"
"Amitabha."
Ming Zhen chanted the Buddhist proclamation softly. "I'll go too."
Heavenly Wolf was extremely resistant and was initially feigning ignorance at a corner.
At that moment, when he saw everyone in the hall stand out, he could not help but roll his eyes.
'You guys just love to put on strong fronts. When the time comes, you won't even know how you're killed!'
Heavenly Wolf cursed internally before probing, "Should I stay back and guard our base?"
The Martial Dao Prime Body did not give Heavenly Wolf any choices. In a flash, he rode on the latter's back. "Alright, everyone, follow me. Just watch from the side. Nobody is to attack without my orders."
"Brother Feng, please take care of the others when the time comes."
The Martial Dao Prime Body added.
Among everyone, the Thunder Monarch was the only one who could protect himself since he was already at the Grotto-heaven realm.
After everything was arranged, the Martial Dao Prime Body brought the Seven Emotions Fiend Generals and left Tianhuang Sect stealthily, heading in the direction of the Builder Tree.
