Chapter 1143: Can’t figure it out, can’t understand, the underlying existence

At this moment, Gu Changge’s will completely replace the will of heaven of the Kunji Universe. With a single thought, his divine sense enveloped the entire universe.

Every inch, every void, was within the reach of his gaze. Now, he was the true master of this universe. Upon entering this universe, all would be subject to his will regardless of the cultivators or beings within.

Similar to the past, when major Dao forces went to Destroy h.e.l.l, entering the ancient world that fused with the ancient world, completely replacing the will of heaven and earth. This resulted in the Dao forces paying a heavy price, with almost no survivors.

The connection between the inner universe and the Kun Ji Universe has been established, but it’s not enough. I must completely merge the true world within my grasp with this universe.

Gu Changge sat beneath the Epoch Tree, the flow of Epoch Source spreading and diffusing into his expanding inner universe.

A radiant sphere, as brilliant as a glorious sun, burst forth and rushed towards the Kun Ji Universe like a shower of light, covering all directions.

This was the source of the world within his grasp, and Gu Changge intended to fully integrate it into the Kun Ji Universe, completing the final transformation of this universe.

Terrifying fluctuations permeated the desolate areas of the universe, as if creating and destroying everything within the chaos, then merging it all.

The inner universe unfolded an infinite expanse, seemingly banishing cultivators and beings into the boundless void. It was an unimaginable terror.

After a long time, Gu Changge retracted the inner universe. As observed by his gaze, the changes within had begun to evolve like his thoughts.

From the evolution of the dusty microcosmic worlds, he could see a path toward the immortal domain.

Perhaps the true Immortal domain or the myriad realms of the heavens also evolved similarly?

With this thought, he suddenly felt a sense of profound fear but shook his head, dispelling the idea. Regardless, he had reached the pinnacle of power in the current era, unrivaled in the same realm throughout the ages.

In that case, the aura of the Epoch Dao Fruit should also fully blossom…

Gu Changge stood up, his figure moving to stand on the Epoch Tree. The majestic and terrifying aura of the world spread out as if it could overturn mountains and rivers.

Accompanied by a resounding voice, it seemed as if ancient worlds were being pushed forward.

He reached out to touch the splendid and incomparable sphere of light as if grabbing hold of the origin of myriad realms.

Like a dazzling constellation, the profound and mysterious aura suddenly erupted with a radiance spanning billions of zhang, resembling a light sword piercing the sky.

In an instant, it shot through Divine Ruins and radiated, impacting the entire Kun Ji Universe before surging toward the myriad realms.

The boundless universe, at this moment, was influenced by this aura. All the rules and orders of heaven and earth undulated like a vast sea crashing against the sky.

The newly born aura ignited like a beacon in the darkness. Those powerful beings rushing from the upper realms to the Kun Ji Universe were significantly changed, revealing expressions of joy and excitement.

This… this is definitely the fluctuation of the mature Epoch Dao Fruit…

The opportunity to ascend to immortality is right before our eyes.

They went mad, even disregarding the consequences and directly unleashing forbidden treasures to blast through the shattered universes ahead just to increase their speed.

This aura was more enticing to them than any poison because they could feel that the rules of heaven and earth were being replenished by this aura, mending the deficiencies.

Boom!

The heavens collapsed, and the earth shattered. The vast and endless army went crazy, charging toward the Kun Ji Universe. Any cultivator or witnessing this scene would be horrified.

Even the figures standing at the pinnacle of the current era now seemed insane. Their eyes turned red, filled with intense excitement. It was unimaginable, but it was the reality.

In the upper realms, many background figures who had not awakened before were now rushing toward the sky, stirred by this kind of fluctuation. This was more real than any rumors; the arrival of the era of immortality was no longer a baseless claim.

The rules of the Dao Immortal Path manifested from distant places, already extending to the scope of the upper realms. The sky was covered with radiance and lotuses, interweaving various immortal auras and Dao rhymes.

Strange phenomena occurred everywhere; even ancient scriptures automatically manifested, as if ancient immortal beings were explaining crucial matters to all beings, elucidating the ultimate rules of heaven and earth.

The upper realms, initially driven crazy by the prospect of immortality, now descended into even greater chaos. Some of the incredibly calm figures who hadn’t gone to the Kun Ji Universe seeking the opportunity of the Immortal Path were beginning to regret it.

On top of the Demon Mountain, demonic energy surged, and clouds and mist billowed, incredibly eerie, as if something ancient from the beginning of the world existed there, exuding a terrifying pressure.

Chan Hongyi, standing at the peak, with her blood-red attire, her skin looking snow-white and delicate, had a gaze mixed with complexity and madness, gradually returning to calmness without ripples.

It seems like the heavens are about to change…

This scene is so similar to the past, but back then, it was immortals and even Immortal Kings who fell…

She spoke softly, a hint of mockery at the corner of her mouth.

Barefoot and victorious, boundless blood flowed beneath her feet to the distant True Immortal Academy.

She had always known that there was an a.s.sociation here, but she had never visited before.

Boom!

Radiance soared within the True Immortal Academy, and a terrifying aura pervaded. Many ancient figures felt a shock due to Chan Hongyi’s arrival and became incredibly vigilant and alarmed.

Such a devilish figure, daring to send a pristine and flawless immortal corpse on the day of Gu Changge’s grand wedding, showed how terrifying her strength was. Even the background figures were definitely not her opponents.

The Red-Clothed Demoness was undoubtedly the absolute pinnacle of combat power in the current Upper Realm. She had no rivals unless legendary figures like the Reincarnated Heaven Lord emerged.

It would definitely be destroyed if she wreaked havoc in the True Immortal Academy. No one could stop her.

Aren’t you coming out to meet me?

Chanyi spoke lightly, her figure standing above the True Immortal Academy, scanning the mountains below covered in radiant light and immortal energy.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Old friends greet each other like this. Unfortunately, my body can’t handle it now; I can’t afford to be tossed around.

At that moment, a coughing sound echoed.

Then, to the astonishment of everyone in the True Immortal Academy, a hunchbacked old man in black robes appeared. He seemed shaky, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

However, no one in the audience dared to underestimate or overlook his presence.

Old Stone (Shi Lao)…

Many ancient beings saw him, their eyes showing respect.

This was the oldest existence in the True Immortal Academy, a genuine living fossil with a seniority beyond imagination, having lived countless years. The current Demon Empress Xi Yao was also his disciple.

But at this moment, everyone was amazed and shocked that the old man Shi Lao and the demonic woman Chan Hongyi seemed to be old friends.

If that were the case, did Shi Lao have a deep connection with Gu Changge?

When Gu Changge first entered the True Immortal Academy, it seemed that she had indeed gone to find Shi Lao, and it was also through the relationship with the Shi’s Grand Elder of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace.

Now, all these things made sense. They were not surprised at all.

It seems that you stood in for Tao Yao back then…

Chan Hongyi looked at the current state of Shi Lao and suddenly realized something. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and her expression returned to normal.

Shi Lao smiled bitterly.

But that palm has been a torment for me. Even now, I can’t get rid of it. Fortunately, my true form is just a stone, or else I wouldn’t have endured for so long.

Given his strength at the time, if he wanted to kill you, how could you have blocked that palm?

Chan Hongyi furrowed her brows, feeling that things were becoming more and more peculiar.

Over the years, her heart had been filled with hatred, and her eyes were full of resentment and killing intent, neglecting many things.

According to her understanding of her master, the Demon Lord, if he genuinely had murderous intent, he shouldn’t have let Shi Lao and Tao Yao Demoness go so quickly.

His strength had already reached an unimaginable level. Even a palm could easily shatter the Three Thousand Provinces, and the mightiest Immortal Kings must taste defeat.

Shi Lao’s cultivation was far from that of an Immortal King, yet he survived a direct hit from that palm and endured it for many years. This was indeed an incredible feat.

The cultivation of Tao Yao, although more potent than Shi Lao’s, wasn’t impossible for her to withstand a palm. The only possibility was that the Demon Lord showed mercy.

Indeed, not only to kill me but also to kill you. Why bother sending you to bury the Demon Abyss? And how could a master like him be reincarnated…

I can’t figure it out, can’t understand. There are too many things, only the master knows the answers.

Shi Lao shook his head. Over the years, many things about that era had gradually faded away in his mind. He couldn’t even maintain clarity on those matters.

In his view, it was the influence of the Forbidden Era. It was as if the heavens and earth were conspiring, making the term “Forbidden” reasonable.

Is that so?

Chan Hongyi fell into silence. However, her hatred for her master, the Demon Lord, was far from as simple as him sparing her and Shi Lao.

Haven’t you ever thought about getting an answer?” She asked again, her gaze piercing Shi Lao like a sharp sword.

I can’t leave this place now. If I forcefully leave, it will backfire. I’m afraid I’ll be blasted into ashes by a thunderbolt. Since the aura tainted by that era is still here, even I am a Forbidden existence, let alone leaving this place to help you. Take care of yourself.

Shi Lao sighed, indicating that in his current state, even if he wanted to leave, he had no way to do it.

From what I can see, he’s currently setting up a shocking scheme. Originally, I wanted to witness it personally and maybe make him lose, but after your words, my interest waned…

Chan Hongyi spoke coldly and then left directly from above the True Immortal Academy. However, before leaving, she glanced towards the distant land abandoned by immortals but didn’t sense Tao Yao’s presence.

Old Shi, what is this…

Listening to the seemingly random conversation between Shi Lao and Chan Hongyi, the ancient beings here were shocked and puzzled. They didn’t understand the meaning behind all this.

However, they could tell that it definitely involved the secrets of the Forbidden Era and needed to be treated with extreme caution.

During this period, you’d better not leave the True Immortal Academy. Stay put, and be prepared for another catastrophe…

Shi Lao sighed and didn’t explain further. He turned and returned to the black mountain.

What does it matter if there’s a world-shaking scheme? What could he do to interfere?

“I want to see today what’s peculiar about this universe that caused our immortal vanguard forces to be completely wiped out!”

Outside the Kun Ji Universe, a ma.s.sive army approached, led by a powerful being. Feeling the decadent aura of the Epoch Dao Fruit, he snorted coldly and didn’t hesitate to make a move. He wielded a divine weapon refined over countless ages, a divine tower forged by the Eternal Blue Gold.

A terrifying and overwhelming aura swept through the surrounding universes. Countless giant stars crumbled into dust in an instant.

Even the cultivators and beings the Empress Huang Yu sent out felt the apocalyptic fluctuations across the vast distance. It was a horrifying experience. For many of them, it was their first time witnessing the might of a powerhouse.

The cultivators who were already sent out trembled at the immense pressure. Even those separated by endless distances couldn’t help but feel the shock.

These beings witnessed the power of an ancient existence for the first time. Even those who had achieved Dao-building expertise seemed like fireflies compared to the bright moon under this pressure.

As for the quasi-emperor-level beings, their souls were almost frightened away. Some still harbored illusions, thinking the Kun Ji Universe could withstand and endure such a fluctuating battle.

But now, when they sensed it, their entire beings felt numb, and their minds were in disbelief.

I might as well test the strength of the master in the Divine Ruins. Is it worth us taking action?

Another powerhouse among them had a cold gaze. With a casual wave, he captured a quasi-emperor-level being from another universe and audaciously invaded his memories. After obtaining information about the Kun Ji Universe, the captive quasi-emperor was obliterated without a chance to scream.

The divine tower emitted a dazzling blue light, seemingly burning. It smashed towards the Kunji Universe!

“Pop!”

However, the master within the Divine Ruin, the Lord of the Kunji Universe, was not at all concerned.

Instead, he casually extended his hand, and a crisp sound echoed. The eternal blue gold-constructed divine tower shattered, turning into a vast expanse of blue light that scattered beyond the domain, causing many stars to disintegrate and disappear into the depths of the universe.
