Chapter 1190
Chapter 1190: They are unlucky; who is hunting who?
Large Bird was stunned, almost doubting if it had misheard.
After a moment, it realized that Gu Changge’s words were no joke. He regarded these four Immortal Kings from the foreign lands, descending to the Western Immortal Domain, as a source of nourishment.
This made the sizable large bird recall Gu Changge’s ruthless actions in the upper realms—slaughtering numerous background figures and orchestrating the downfall of entire universes.
At that time, Gu Changge regarded all beings, including the creatures of heaven and earth, as nourishment. How many heavenly traditions and universes did he obliterate indirectly? The countless mortals and cultivators were beyond enumeration, not to mention the ethnic groups indirectly wiped out.
Moreover, it knew Gu Changge’s other ident.i.ty—the Demon Lord of extinction and the inheritor of the demonic art.
Even until now, the large Bird remained ignorant of what transpired in the prehistoric era to trigger Gu Changge’s intervention, shattering the Immortal Palace and causing the heavens to collapse, becoming a taboo epoch of absolute darkness in the eyes of later generations.
Although it now served as the spiritual tool of the Heavenly Slaying Sword, accompanying Gu Changge and returning to the Immortal Realm, its understanding of Gu Changge’s thoughts remained elusive.
“Oh, my mistake. There’s another Immortal King, hidden in the shadows.”
Gu Changge spoke again, his expression unchanged, the faint smile lingering on his lips as he gazed into the distant horizon where darkness surged like a tide, shrouding the sky instantly.
The mult.i.tude of star fields quivered, threatening to fall apart, and the sun, moon, and stars seemed on the brink of collapse. The worlds returned to chaos, and the epochs wailed in despair.
Another Immortal King?
The large Bird trembled even more. This meant that five Immortal Kings were descending into the foreign lands. From what it learned from the conversation with the Half-Step Immortal King from the Southern Immortal Domain, even in that realm, there were ostensibly only two Immortal Kings—one of which was the Bodhisattva King, who resided in the Buddhist land.
Now, no realm in the Immortal Domain had the power to contend with these five Immortal Kings.
Treating… Immortal Kings as nourishment sources…
Even Jin Yuan, who stood respectfully before Gu Changge, was chilled to the bone by these words. He almost doubted his ears, finding it difficult to believe someone could utter such words.
The idea of treating Immortal Kings as a source of nourishment was expressed with great confidence. Who would dare to make such statements in the vast expanse of countless epochs? Yet, under the seemingly calm tone of Gu Changge, there was no room for doubt regarding the authenticity of these words.
Even the memory of Gu Changge capturing and devouring a True Immortal from the foreign lands lingered in their minds. The fear in their eyes abruptly shifted from reverence to sheer terror.
As a Half-Step Immortal King, the once-composed individual was trembling and succ.u.mbing to an unsettling fear. The eruption of blinding light, the surge of laws like a boundless sea, and the fracturing of the heavens and earth painted a scene far more terrifying than the invasion by foreign armies millions of years ago.
Four transcendent Immortal Kings stood at the realm’s edge, like shadows that existed even before the creation of heaven and earth. Their cold gazes pressed down slowly, causing the entire tapestry of ancient history to crumble. The projections of theirDao avatars exceeded the limits this realm could endure.
The sky above shattered, revealing countless cracks resembling a spider’s web. Terrifying gusts of energy burst forth from these rifts, carrying chaotic Qi and torrents of light. It was as if the autumn wind of apocalypse aimed to plunge the present Western Immortal Realm back into desolation.
Are the Immortal Kings from the foreign land here to bring about the end…?
Who will save us? O former kings of the Immortal Realm, your descendants are being slaughtered by the Immortal Kings from the foreign land…
Witnessing this harrowing scene, the countless descendants of the Western Immortal Realm were filled with dread and trembling fear. Many cried out in despair, their voices echoing hopelessness.
Millions of years ago, foreign armies breached the gates of the Western Immortal Realm. The Immortal Kings from the foreign realm descended, their colossal hands cleaving through the air, shattering the entire cosmos.
The Western Heaven Gate collapsed, and even the king of the Western Immortal Realm fell in battle, with a tattered and bloodstained flag bearing witness to their tragic end.
After countless eons, the once jubilant descendants of the Western Immortal Realm, excited about the emergence of the original world, now found themselves drowning in despair and fear.
The Four Immortal Kings, invincible in all aspects, overlooking eternity, immortal and everlasting.
The inhabitants of the foreign land rejoiced and bowed in worship towards the direction of the Immortal Kings. The entire immortal realm was filled with the resounding voices of reverence and prayers.
Is that the mysterious figure you, Kun Xuan, feared?
A winged Immortal King with black feathers on his back spoke, gazing into the depths of the Western Immortal Realm.
His entire being was shrouded in a pitch-black mist, concealing his appearance. The dense fog enveloped him, and a chaotic mist swirled around him, displaying unparalleled dominance.
Just standing there, it seemed the entire universe couldn’t bear the weight of his proper form. Even a single strand of his hair felt heavy enough to collapse a world as a whole.
This was the king from the foreign land, known as the Dark Abyss Immortal King. Profound in his cultivation and mastery of the Dao-building expertise, he had attained the position of Immortal King in numerous epochs before.
Dark Abyss was a peculiar beast with an unseen proper form. It was said to traverse the most distant lands, from the Dark Abyss to the Nine Nether, hence its name.
The Dark Abyss Immortal King also controlled the fastest Dao-building expert in this world, surpa.s.sing even the flow of time. His features were blurry, with only cold and immortal eyes resembling two crescent moons hovering at the edge of heaven and earth, overseeing everything below.
Though he had currently restrained his Dao techniques, the traces of the Dao still lingered, colliding with the surrounding Immortal Kings. To be precise, the birth of a single Immortal King in a universe was already the limit the Dao-building expert could bear.
Although the Western Immortal Realm was composed of many universes, at this moment, there were a total of four Immortal Kings descending upon it.
Indeed, it is him. He arrived through the legendary gateway and nearly severed my Dao avatar upon his arrival, following the karmic thread almost to my true form.
“If I hadn’t retreated in time, I would have been severely injured by him. His strength was unfathomable, truly an existence beyond the cycles of reincarnation.”
“He might even be a figure from the forbidden era before the Epoch of Taboos… Dark Abyss, you must not underestimate him.”
Kunxuan, Immortal King, spoke with a deep voice. His vitality was vast like the sun, and he wore Daoist robes. From outward appearances, it was challenging to connect him to an Immortal King from the foreign land; he even seemed like the supreme existence of Daoism.
The gaze of the Dark Abyss Immortal King, like an ultimate divine sword, seemed poised to break through the constraints of this world, tearing apart the shackles of the Great Dao-building expert and descending towards the Western Immortal Realm.
“Whether it was as you say, I will only know after witnessing it with my own eyes,” he said flatly and indifferently.
Kunxuan Immortal King nodded, understanding that only by letting Dark Abyss and the others personally experience the young man’s terror could they truly comprehend the gravity of his words.
As Immortal Kings, reaching this level meant they were the chosen ones of every epoch. They bore the mandate of heaven, emerging among countless peerless geniuses. With extraordinary talent and an unwavering Dao heart, a few words couldn’t sway their character.
The suppression of the Dao-building expert in the Western Immortal Realm can’t hold us back. Descending with our true forms is not difficult.
The other two Immortal Kings, still concealed within the thick mist, spoke with the same cold indifference. They hadn’t revealed their appearances, remaining hidden in the dense fog.
Upon hearing Kunxuan, the Immortal King’s call, they were revived from their respective Dao fields.
On the one hand, it was due to the crucial matter of the gateway within the city, which was closely tied to the exact location of the original world.
On the other hand, it was also because the Ancestor of the Imperial Clan had issued a decree to find that particular realm and plunder the origin, involving the significant matter of unifying the Mountain and Sea True Worlds.
Even though they were Immortal Kings, they had to bow and show respect in front of the eternal and immortal Ancestor of the Imperial Clan. They had to abide by the orders given by the Ancestor of the Imperial Clan and dare not go against them.
Since the birth of the foreign land, the Ancestor of the Imperial Clan had been eternally immortal, the true master of the foreign land, having experienced the Forbidden Epoch and even more ancient eras. There were even claims that the current Ancestors of the Imperial Clan were originally innate G.o.ds born when the world was first created, which allowed them to reach such heights.
They might be trespa.s.sers from other actual realms, survivors from the time of the previous catastrophe, or powerful rulers from the original domain. Otherwise, reaching the level of Immortal King would be the limit; even the most outstanding among them would be stopped at that threshold, unable to cross it.
What did the Ancestor of the Imperial Clan represent?
A single thought could decide the destruction of the heavens and the earth, recreate chaos, and even traverse the river of time without fear. Truly immortal and indestructible.
Even during the flourishing period of the Immortal Realm, ruling over the Immortal Palace that governed the heavens, there was no way to resist when facing the foreign Imperial Clan. They had to deal with it peacefully.
“With Senior King Ming guarding us in the shadows, why worry? Senior Ming w.a.n.g had been praised by the Ancestor of the Imperial Clan, recognized for his strength.”
An Immortal King spoke, rea.s.suring Kunxuan Immortal King that, aside from their four Immortal Kings appearing in the world, there was alsoKing Ming secretly guarding to prevent any unforeseen circ.u.mstances.
King Ming was a figure that existed since the Forbidden Epoch. Although he had not achieved the position of Immortal King back then, after those dark years, his cultivation and mastery of the Dao-building experts were not comparable to the later generations.
That’s true.
Kun Xuan Immortal King nodded, putting his worries to rest.
Boom!
The Dao-building expert in the Immortal Realm roared and then ruptured under the combined attacks of the four Immortal Kings.
A terrifying hole appeared, capable of accommodating their actual bodies without being suppressed by the laws of the Immortal Realm.
The four foreign Immortal Kings simultaneously stepped into the Western Immortal Realm. Their bodies were incredibly ma.s.sive, towering at the edge of heaven and earth, their gazes cold and indifferent, devoid of emotions.
Wherever the gaze reached, vitality withered, and everything seemed engulfed in an apocalyptic scenario. At this moment, whether it was the creatures from the foreign lands or the descendants of the Immortal Realm, even those in distant universes, all sensed this vast aura, trembling in fear, their souls quivering.
This was the might of Immortal Kings, overwhelmingly powerful. Those who were close to the Western Gate, the descendants of the Immortal Realm, even had their physical bodies on the verge of collapse, their skeletons trembling, and their legs going weak, falling directly to the ground in despair.
They were filled with hopelessness, facing a true Immortal King. We were even describing them as ants, which was an exaggeration.
“he long-lost aura of the Immortal Realm, not felt for millions of years…
“The last time I descended upon this realm, I killed the king of the Western Immortal Realm, right, it was the Immortal King Tianzhu.”
“Back then, I even shattered his hand bones.”
The foreign Immortal King shrouded in black mist spoke, his tone cold and indifferent, recounting events. However, his words were transmitted from the Western Gate.
All Immortal Realm descendants who heard this were filled with grief and hatred. The Heavenly City was far from the Western Gate, but they could still witness the scene in front of the Heavenly City.
The four kings, including KunXuan, Immortal King, were scrutinizing Gu Changge, looking at this incredibly young man, causing them to marvel at his bone age.
Even the descendants of the foreign imperial clan couldn’t possibly achieve Immortal King status in a few hundred years, let alone possess the frightening power at such a young age.
“It seems Kunxuan was right. He was indeed someone who walked out of the cycle. Besides that, there aws no other explanation for his current strength.”
“Even if he’s mysterious, he can’t be our opponent.”
The Immortal King named Qingming spoke, his tone straightforward. After determining Gu Changge’s origin, the result was already clear.
“If that’s the case, we should join forces to hunt him down. We can seize some of his inheritance.
“Maybe that’s the secret to how he became an Immortal King at such a young age.”
Another Immortal King spoke, and his eyes revealed a barely concealed greed. They knew that many individuals who returned from the cycle of reincarnation carried some treasures. These treasures held many mysterious secrets that could aid rapid growth.
“Somebody… somebody…”
“These four kings are Kun Xuan Immortal King, Qingming Immortal King from the foreign land… They all attained Immortal King status several epochs ago…”
In front of the Heavenly City, Jin Yun, under this oppressive aura, was almost suffocating. However, he was still trembling, explaining the origin of these four kings to Gu Changge.
Facing the overwhelming aura of the four kings, even he, a half-step Immortal King, was on the verge of breaking apart, let alone ordinary beings.
I thought I might encounter someone I know from several epochs ago.
But they’re just unlucky…
Gu Changge smiled faintly and said these words, causing Jin Yun’s scalp to tingle even more. He didn’t dare to think deeply about their origins.
The moment these words were spoken, Gu Changge took action.
He stood in front of the Heavenly City, his figure unchanged, extending one hand towards the distant Western Gate in the vast star regions.
Heaven and earth trembled at this moment, and the cosmos was about to be overturned!
The sky split open again, and an invisible deep crack appeared above the Western Gate.
What… he dares to take the initiative against us, the four kings?
This scene caused Qingming Immortal King and others to change their expressions, seemingly unexpected that the plan they thought would be a joint hunt would turn into the other party taking the initiative.
However, in the next moment, their expressions changed.
Boom!
The power was too terrifying, and in the blurry s.p.a.ce, one could see a giant hand slowly emerging from the dark crack in the sky, genuinely descending.
This palm appeared slowly in mid-air and slowly clapped down towards the four kings, overwhelmingly powerful, spanning several distant star regions.
Suddenly, countless giant stars in the sky fell and shattered in the void.
The vast fluctuations seemed to be pushing the heavens to fall, causing the faces of the four kings to change abruptly.
