Killing Dao Fruit
Chapter 589 - 542

Chapter 589: 542

Mortal World, East Sea, Moluo Islands.

This Volcano Island Country, which erupts now and then, is distributed in a northeastward sloping linear fashion. From south to north, from west to east, the four islands are:

Chikushido, Gokoku, Changzhou, Shisheng.

Across a shallow strait, close to the island of Chikushido, lies Gokoku Island with its city gates coiled up, soldiers fully armored, and an ominous atmosphere looming.

Just like the Jiuguo on Chikushido Island, which had been breached by Su Guyun’s body.

The Gokoku on this island: Tokushima, Kagawa, Sanuki, Iyo, Tosu, have similarly been devoured and unified by the most powerful Kagawa Domain.

After unifying one island, Su Guyun immediately began to prepare for a large-scale expansion.

Feudal Lord Kagawa Motomichi of Kagawa Country naturally coveted Chikushido Island of comparable size.

As soon as the heavy snow had melted, both sides deployed their troops to the frontier, and a great battle was imminent.

In the city close to the front lines at Seaside City.

"We’ll take Chikushido first, devour Su Guyun of ’No-Life Dao’ and those nutritious disciples."

"Then we’ll join forces with the Sect seeking to conquer Changzhou, striving to completely occupy Moluo and achieve the great aspiration of becoming the Emperor within three years!"

"Then we march through Tanhuan to invade Great Yan, ultimately unifying the entire Red County Shenzhou and ascending to the supreme position in the Mortal World, dedicating this world to our ancestral Great Heavenly Dog!"

"By then, adorned with the ’Killing Dao Fruit,’ everyone can achieve longevity."

"Gentlemen, drink to victory!"

"To victory!"

"To victory!"

As night deepened, Kagawa Motomichi, the lord of Kagawa Country, was feasting with his retainers and followers.

His grand blueprint, described in words, inflamed the blood of the already spirited group, making the banquet atmosphere even more fervent.

But in the flickering firelight, the retainers and samurai sitting on either side of the Heavenly Guardian Pavilion.

Apart from a few who had human forms, the majority were bizarrely shaped Demons and Ghosts!

Green skin, feathers, beaks, fangs, sharp horns... this place had it all.

The food on the table naturally included human organs like hearts and livers, as well as the tender flesh of Moluo women.

The most terrifying looking among them was none other than Kagawa Motomichi himself, sitting at the chief seat.

With a long and tall red nose and a face smeared as if with blood, he held a foldable fan with gold tracery.

Tall and imposing, he was draped in luxurious armor, and even had a pair of crow-like black wings on his back.

He radiated an astonishing Demonic energy and the smell of blood.

Clearly, this Kagawa Country lord was a Great Demon of the Yellow Seal Realm, a Crow Tengu, not even pretending before his subjects.

Indeed, this was the norm among the various classes of Moluo.

Although Moluo was not like Naiman’s five divisions, Xiangxiong Kingdom, or Langqiong’s six clans, having completely fallen into Deceit Countries ruled entirely by Sect-supervised Demon officials, like Celestial Officials.

It was, however, similar to mountainous countries like Tanhuan, the thirty-six states of the Western Regions, or the countries of the Southern Ocean and the Sixteen Strong Nations, having long become places where humans and Deceit Monsters coexist.

Secular vassal states, Magician Taoist Sects, Demons and Spirit tribes, big and small Deceit Immortals, various Sects...

Different types of forces intermingled with one another, inextricably linked, an entangled mess.

Without a top-down major purge,

No one, no matter how magically capable, could lay down laws, build their own "Dragon Qi Prohibition," and integrate it into the Divine Land System here.

And the Kagawa Clan on Gokoku Island was a lineage of Demon Descendants belonging to the Sect under the Heavenly Official ’Swallowing Star Heavenly Dog.’

Originating from ’Glutton Immortal Dao’s’ ’Crossing Fire Divine Palace.’

Whether branch family or main family, relying on the technique of ’Swallowing Star and Sun,’ which allowed constant growth just by eating, held significant power throughout Moluo.

Moreover, belonging to the same Heaven God System as ’Heaven Righteous Dharma Dao,’ it had naturally good relations with Naiman’s five divisions just a waterway away.

The high-level officials of Kagawa Country indulged in feasting and revelry in the Heavenly Guardian Pavilion.

Most of the soldiers in the city had already fallen asleep, leaving only a few patrols.

To prevent nocturnal attacks, a multitude of blazing bonfires had been lit below the city walls, illuminating the Earth Realm all the way down to the seaside.

What they didn’t see, though,

was that in the pitch darkness of the night, just across the narrow thirty-li-wide strait,

the Chuyun Country’s troops had quietly set sail, waving the Command Flag.

As a "Co-Founder" in the arms distribution network, and having made a fortune from tiered commissions,

Su Guyun armed himself to the teeth with the munitions meant for lower-level agents.

Now, the Chuyun Fleet equipped with a massive number of Daoist Skill Cannons was confident that not even the most powerful navy of the Moluo Islands could match them.

The once-proclaimed ’Invincible Fleet’ of Ink Qilin Song Xingyun was now beyond comparison.

On the high tower of the flagship "Chuyun,"

A Goddess sat on a golden throne, a radiant and untouchable beauty.

Adorned in a sumptuous Chimaexia Royal Robe, with a Bright Pearl Hairpin in her hair, her face partially obscured by a silver-lotus-embroidered veil.

This was none other than Su Guyun’s second avatar, the Divine Tao-incarnation—’Great Sun Female Venerable’!

She was the Sun Goddess from the mythologies of the Moluo Islands, symbolizing a being that blesses all life, the supreme Sun.

Su Guyun, gazing at the motionless Gokoku Island in the distant night, murmured to herself:

"While the body was meditating, it unexpectedly received the ’No-Life Buddha’s’ Heavenly Gift. The three islands to the north are to fall into chaos tonight, and I can seize the opportunity to attack.

"But where is this chaos coming from?

"Moreover, at this moment, from east to west, the entire sky over Red County Shenzhou is thundering insistently, disturbing peaceful dreams, with Nine Soldiers Immortal Officials on high alert."
