Chapter 1186: Reincarnated existence, what role should I play now
As if shattering a distant era, the dazzling sword light cleansed the heavens and earth, unbounded and supremely dominant.
Boom!
The air currents in the sky of the western immortal domain were in chaos. Under this sword’s radiance, it was split open.
Galaxies ruptured, and countless cultivators and beings shivered in fear at this aura as if a sword light had severed their spiritual essence, threatening to completely annihilate them.
They were terrified, feeling a bone-chilling dread. Although the sword light did not target them directly, merely witnessing its might caused severe spiritual and soul pain as if they would perish under its radiance.
The consequences were unimaginable if they indeed came into contact with this strand of sword light.
Even the Dao avatar of King Kunxuan was beheaded by a sword, obliterated in the void, displaying an overwhelming force.
What?
For the inhabitants of the foreign land, this sword was too terrifying. It directly beheaded their invincible king from the clouds.
Many young beings who regarded Kunxuan Immortal King as a G.o.d couldn’t believe it and shouted in disbelief.
Why did the resurrected invincible king’s Dao avatar get quickly annihilated by a sword, disappearing without a trace?
Of course, they were baffled. In their perception, the pinnacle might in this world was the authority of an Immortal King seated atop the peak of eternity, overseeing the pa.s.sage of time and witnessing the collapse of epochs.
How could such an existence be so quickly beheaded?
Absolutely a young king…
The Kunxuan Immortal King fled, afraid to descend.
Many True Immortals rushing from the foreign land were trembling, their mouths quivering, a bit scared and feeling chilled. As those beneath the Immortal King, they could keenly sense the terror of that sword just now, an absolute might that could instantly wipe them out countless times over.
This was an unparalleled force they could never contend with—the power to annihilate the vast ocean and sever the pa.s.sage of time, overpowering even the Immortal King’s Dao avatar.
The residual shockwaves alone caused them to explode, their physical bodies in intense pain. Those who were closer even had blood stains appearing.
All the beings in front of the ancient city of the heavens were frozen in place, not daring to move, fearing that the strand of aura might explode them, leading them into the aftermath of the Immortal King’s Dao avatar.
Too strong, what a terrifying power…
No mistake, this esteemed individual must be the king of our immortal realm. He has returned from the Origin Realm.
The Western immortal domain was filled with an overwhelming aura. The recent fluctuation of the Immortal King had shocked many hidden descendants of the immortal realm, leaving them utterly astonished.
However, witnessing the avatar of the Immortal King being annihilated by a sword radiance in the next moment was beyond belief. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they probably wouldn’t have dared to believe it, staring wide-eyed in disbelief.
Cheers erupted across various locations in the western immortal domain, resonating with unimaginable excitement.
Numerous descendants of the immortal realm appeared, shaking off their previous decline, and expressed their excitement with roars that couldn’t capture the current surge of emotions.
However, Gu Changge’s expression remained unchanged. He didn’t need to resort to other means now; he had no fear of the so-called Immortal King based on his realm alone.
Even an Immortal King couldn’t avoid getting entangled in causality, resisting the Dao laws, and correcting all the trajectories of the world at this level.
But when Gu Changge was still in the upper realm, he could erase the future fluctuations based on his destiny, marking the fundamental difference in their paths.
Ultimately, the techniques and paths Gu Changge practiced corresponded one-to-one with his predecessors. They allowed his body to reach the level of the primordial true ancestor.
Regular Immortal Kings didn’t even have the qualifications to connect and touch the actual ancestor of the origin; no matter how many epochs they cultivated, they couldn’t reach that step.
Only by going beyond the transcendent level, being the transcendent among transcendents, could one qualify to see that place.
It seems that your Immortal King on your side chose to retreat…
He’s smart and runs pretty fast.
Gu Changge stood in place, wearing a simple green silk garment, looking incredibly young, radiating a faint brilliance, and returning to simplicity.
He ambled casually, observing the foreign beings with an unchanged expression. His tone was calm.
Hearing this, these foreign beings felt that their heads were about to explode and their souls were about to be torn apart, so they didn’t dare to raise their heads and look at Gu Changge.
Even a Dao-building expert trembled unceasingly, trembling in place, and his whole body was drenched in a cold sweat.
“Rest a.s.sured, I won’t trouble you.”
“It’s just been a long time since I returned to the immortal realm, and seeing the sights made me reminisce a bit.”
Gu Changge casually spoke, then glanced towards the direction of the sky. With a casual gesture, the heavens and the earth trembled, and all the stars in the sky quivered.
A foreign, true immortal was ultimately imprisoned despite the flow of immortal light around him.
He attempted to break free, but his struggles were in vain. Terrified, he screamed as if he had turned into a helpless chick with no chance of resistance.
Even though he was initially millions of miles away, in the next moment, a pair of terrifying hands descended and directly grabbed him.
This left him in despair, experiencing fear to the extreme. For the first time in his cultivation of countless years, he encountered something so horrifying.
This scene shocked all the foreign beings in the vicinity. They couldn’t believe that the true immortal, nearly invincible in their eyes, could be in such a pitiful state, captured from a distant starfield, and reduced to helpless prey.
After the Forbidden Epoch, what exactly happened in the immortal realm?…
Gu Changge looked at the terrified foreign true immortal and slowly spoke. His voice was calm, seemingly questioning, and yet carrying a faint sigh.
The foreign true immortal, who appeared to be in his thirties or forties with golden wings on his back and a radiant aura, was now trembling uncontrollably.
He seemed as if a peerless demon had clutched his heart, his face turning pale and his words quivering.
“Reporting to the great one, after the Forbidden Epoch…”
He attempted to explain, hoping to make Gu Changge understand. His voice was filled with fear.
“I didn’t ask you.”
Gu Changge’s expression remained unchanged, shaking his head slightly. He extended a hand directly towards the glowing forehead of the terrified true immortal.
“Ah…”
“Great one, spare me…”
The foreign true immortal screamed in terror, his face contorted in unbearable pain.
Everyone witnessed his soul being pulled out from the top of his head and presented for Gu Changge to examine his memories.
During this process, no one dared to interfere. Even distant foreign true immortals trembled, their faces turning pale. They feared that they might be captured next in the following moment.
This was the terrifying existence that even Immortal King Kunxuan fled from.
“So many changes have taken place; no wonder…”
After a long time, Gu Changge finally understood the many changes in the immortal realm over the years, expressing a sigh.
In the next moment, he casually swallowed the soul of the true immortal with just a word, not allowing it to escape.
After the Forbidden Epoch, the immortal realm and the upper realm separated, with most immortal cultivators seeking refuge in the immortal domain.
Among them were the leaders who had initially established the immortal palaces. Although the courts had collapsed, many legacies had been preserved.
Consequently, the immortal realm rapidly evolved into five distinct regions, radiating from the central immortal domain and splitting into four subdomains. Each subdomain had an Immortal King presiding over it, and some subdomains even had multiple Immortal Kings.
In addition, the central immortal domain still harbored a few palace masters from the ancient immortal palaces, whose cultivations far surpa.s.sed those of ordinary Immortal Kings. This arrangement brought temporary stability to the immortal domain.
However, as the beings from the other realms believed, the battle after the Forbidden Epoch had merely postponed the arrival of the calamity, avoiding the cosmic immortal tribulation but paving the way for a great reckoning.
The collapse of the heavens, the severance of epochs, and the entanglement in forbidden forces led to a decline in vitality in both the immortal realm and the upper realm.
The source was damaged, and due to the lack of connection between earth and heaven, the immortal realm became like floating duckweed without roots, while the upper realm lost the opportunity to ascend to higher realms.
This chain reaction caused the immortal domain to decay, providing an opportunity for the other realms to invade.
Starting several million years ago, some Immortal Kings experienced a decline in vitality, aging into unknown late years, with the five decays being hard to overcome.
The invasion of the other realms was ruthless, smashing the gates of the immortal realm and pouring in to conquer it. The western immortal domain, adjacent to the gates of the other realms, naturally fell first.
Gu Changge, being aware of these events, was mainly contemplating the role he should play next.
Should he adhere to the previous agreement with Gu Qingyi or disregard those considerations?
In this situation, the crucial points to be aware of were the timing of the next cosmic immortal tribulation and the birth of the one true realm.
When the one true realm emerged, the beings who opposed the heavens might take action, refining their war swords and ascending to the ninth heaven.
From another perspective, the current state of the immortal domain was more suitable for Gu Changge. While the other realms were engaged in constant warfare, their numbers of true immortals and even Immortal Kings were substantial.
The heavenly energies acc.u.mulated by the Reincarnated Heaven Lord had long been entirely refined by Gu Changge. For him, these beings were excellent nourishment.
The scene where a true immortal was captured, soul-searched, and then directly devoured sent shivers of fear through all the beings in the other realms.
They hadn’t expected that a true immortal could be captured, had his soul searched, and then be consumed.
The ruthless methods employed by the stranger left them feeling uneasy as if they had suddenly fallen from the lofty position of rulers in the Other World to mere livestock, with no regard for their dignity or life.
The descendants of the Immortal Realm were shocked into silence by this spectacle, never expecting the stranger to be so cruel and indifferent.
However, they found solace in the fact that the victims were true immortals from the other world, who had often treated the descendants of the Immortal Realm as mere food when the Western Immortal Realm was conquered.
Almost all descendants of the Immortal Realm considered the stranger the king who emerged from the Origin Realm, aligned with the Immortal Realm.
He’s incredibly powerful. Who is he, really?
In the vast and boundless Other Realm, the expression on the face of the Kunxuan Immortal King changed repeatedly.
His usually cold and ancient visage now displayed a look of disbelief. He never expected that his Dao avatar would be severed instantly with no chance of reaction.
The sheer terror and power caught him off guard. He initially thought that the upheaval in the environment led to the portals between realms loosening, allowing powerful beings from another realm to find their way into the Immortal Realm.
However, he never antic.i.p.ated encountering such a terrifying individual.
He had a premonition that even if he descended in his proper form, he would not be a match for this opponent. It seemed like he would be slain without a chance to retaliate – a realization born not out of fear but a clear understanding of his incapacity.
It’s not advisable to reveal myself. This person exudes great terror; I am not currently equipped to oppose him. If I recklessly descend, I will be annihilated by him.
The Kunxuan Immortal King transcended his own Dao Field and arrived at the Dao Field of another realm Immortal King to discuss the matter.
He felt a deep powerlessness, realizing he needed to seek out other Immortal Kings to face this threat together.
The territories of the other realm were vast beyond description, surpa.s.sing even the combined Immortal and Upper Realms.
Each region was shrouded in an endless expanse of dark mist, resembling an eerie and immense ghostly presence.
These realms were composed of ancient universes tainted by dark energies, boundless and impossible to fathom.
“When will Dao Friend awaken? There’s a shocking development in the Western Immortal Realm – an ent.i.ty, possibly awakening from the cycle of reincarnation, has emerged with terrifying strength, surpa.s.sing the usual Immortal Kings.”
“We need to hunt together.”
Kunxuan Immortal King tore through the fabric of the universe, descending into the realm of another Immortal King, awakening the dormant being within.
An ent.i.ty from the cycle of reincarnation?
Boom!
A terrifying aura permeated this universe, and then a gaze tore through the dense fog, with countless denizens of the other realm bowing in submission, continuously prostrating in worship.
In another Dao Field, another Immortal King was awakened by the Kunxuan Immortal King. His Dao avatar surpa.s.sed tens of millions of zhang, coalescing in the starry sky.
Dark pathways extended, resonating with a thunderous sound as they stepped forward.
Black lotuses covered the ground, dark demonic birds danced in the air, and the vast heavens and earth trembled.
Has the environment of the world changed? Is there still an Immortal King in the Western Immortal Realm?
A humanoid Immortal King shrouded in gray mist suddenly opened his eyes, cold and profound, with wings on his back.
We have been searching for the portal for a long time, and the person who emerged from it is terrifying. I am far from being his opponent.
Kunxuan Immortal King spoke plainly, stating the facts without hesitation.
We will work together to kill him, and then go to the original world.
Finally, he descended into an area shrouded in vast and chaotic mist, showing a respectful att.i.tude. This place was filled with grand and ancient palaces, radiating the brilliance that reflected the heavens and earth.
The Kunxuan Immortal King bowed slightly upon arriving, expressing respect.
An ent.i.ty from the cycle of reincarnation has awakened. I hope, senior, you will lead the charge for us. There might be unforeseen circ.u.mstances.
