Chapter 909 Consecutive breakthroughs (2)

At the same time, even from a distance away, Shun Long could now sense the immense power coming from Liu Mei's figure, which was powerful enough to momentarily affect him even through the protection of his own 'Monarch's Eternal body'.

And yet, this was just the aura that Liu Mei's body was involuntarily exuding, so one could only imagine how strong she would actually be if she really went all out right now.

''This... What is this pressure? How is it so strong? Is this the real difference between a peak rank 9 Dao King and a late-stage one, or is this all due to sister Liu's Dao of Death?''

Bai Longtian's voice was muffled, sounding almost akin to a soft whisper, and yet Shun Long could still hear the faint tremble in his voice as the handsome, long-haired young man stared at Liu Mei's distant figure in complete astonishment.

Even though Bai Longtian and Jiang Chen had both stepped into the late stages of the Dao King realm by now, while Xingyi herself was already a rank 9 Dao King, in front of this terrifying pressure coming from Liu Mei, none of them were really a match. They could all tell that in an actual fight against her, unless Bai Longtian and the others made use of most of their trump cards, none of them would be able to last for more than a couple breaths of time before losing.

This was how terrifying the pressure coming from Liu Mei right now really was.

A moment later, Jiang Chen's eyes gradually turned serious before he answered coolly

''This is the fundamental difference between peak-stage Dao Kings and normal late-stage ones. This is also why that Mao Huang could act so arrogantly back in the 'Illusion oasis' and extort others for their 'Immortal water' without fear of getting ganged up by others. Ultimately, peak rank 9 Dao Kings are no different from supreme existences in this place! The moment someone reaches the peak of the Dao King realm in both their cultivation, as well as their comprehension of their Dao, they are practically considered to be already half a step into the Dao Emperor realm. Average late-stage Dao Kings have no chance against them!''

Bai Longtian and Xingyi both nodded their heads after hearing Jiang Chen's explanation, while their gazes were completely glued on the distant Liu Mei whose aura had finally started to recede little by little by now.

Although Bai Longtian and Xingyi both came from peak-level factions back in the Night Star Continent, back there, even the strongest experts like Bai Longtian's father were only peak-stage Dao Kings!

Thus, even though the 2 of them could be considered fairly knowledgeable overall, in front of Jiang Chen whose father was a true powerhouse at the rank 9 of the Dao Emperor realm, their knowledge of cultivation fell rather short.

Nodding his head, Shun Long agreed with Jiang Chen's explanation, while a myriad of different thoughts began to course through his mind.

A few moments later however, he shook his head as he thought to himself

'Staying in the 'Endless Desert' and letting Mei'er and the others absorb the immortal qi from the 'Heaven Swallowing vine' was really the right choice!'

Staring at the distant setting sun, a faint smile silently bloomed on Shun Long's lips, as the cool breeze of the 'Endless Desert' gently caressed his face, while also dispersing the faint scent of death that had already started to cover everyone's surroundings!

At this point, Shun Long knew that it would be a lie if he said that he wasn't tempted to explore the rest of the 'City of Immortals' with Liu Mei and the others. With the map that he had purchased from the 'White tiger chamber of commerce' a few years ago, as well as the numerous stories circulating throughout the 'Central continent' about this place, it was common knowledge that the entirety of the 'City of Immortals' was no different from a gigantic treasure trove waiting to be explored and harvested!

Rare treasures that even Sovereign realm experts may not find in their entire lifetimes existed aplenty in this place for everyone to grab.

However, after their last encounter back in the 'Illusion oasis' with both Mao Huang, as well as that black-robed peak rank 9 Dao King who had tried to assassinate him, Shun Long had already decided that he wasn't going to leave the 'Endless Desert' until he became a late-stage Dao King first! He wasn't certain if he would have enough time to reach the peak of the Dao King realm before the rumored 10-year time period came to an end and everyone was expelled from the 'City of Immortals' like they had in the past, but he was at least confident in reaching the late stages before that happened!

Still, it wasn't that Shun Long was afraid of the black-robed Dao King who had ambushed him back then. After all, after reaching the 5th stage of the Dao King realm, he was already confident in killing the man should the two of them clash again!

However, Shun Long was already thinking of another matter.

'If I'm not wrong, even though that guy was hiding his identity, he should most likely be among the 100 strongest Dao Kings in the 'White tiger chamber of commerce's' list. Although his strength was nothing too extraordinary, his speed was actually quite fast. Even if they were all peak rank 9 Dao Kings... it's probably only Longtian among Mei'er and the others who can compete with him and match his speed head-on!'

After this thought coursed through his mind, Shun Long took a deep breath and sat cross-legged on the ground once more, as he quickly emptied his mind and began to absorb the pure qi from the 'Heaven Swallowing vine' once again. The grains of sand around him were once again filled with the overwhelming aura of the pure immortal qi that the 'Heaven Swallowing vine' unceasingly produced, as a gigantic qi vortex quickly began to form above his head, greedily sucking in all the qi that it could absorb from its surroundings!

Although Shun Long wasn't afraid of the black-robed man and was even confident in killing him, he knew that he couldn't waste any more time here and could only do his best to improve his cultivation as much as possible in the few years that he had left in this place!

After all, that black-robed man was not the only threat he would face in this place. If Shun Long wasn't wrong, that guy would only rank in the lower end among the 100 strongest Dao Kings inside the 'City of Immortals'! This meant that there were at least 90 or so more peak-stage Dao Kings who were far superior to that guy in strength!

And these were just the Dao Kings that the 'White tiger chamber of commerce' were aware of! Who knew if there were any other monsters similar to Shun Long and his group, keeping themselves hidden from the public eye so far?

Would all those people just wait and wander around idly in the 'City of Immortals, or would they begin searching for fortuitous opportunities to increase their strength even further in the Dao King realm, grabbing as much as they could while they were inside this gigantic treasure trove?

Shun Long didn't need an answer to that obvious question, which was why he was going to make full use of the next few years, bringing his strength as high as he could to contend with those monsters!
