The Heavenly Ancient City, as it was called, had an incredibly ancient and profound history. It bore the marks of various weapons, weathered and worn by time and battle. The city walls alone seemed to hold up Heaven, standing erect for eons, seemingly indestructible. It was crafted from an unknown material, covered in bloodstains and antiquity. Some parts of it had collapsed, a testament to the incredibly fierce battles that had once raged here.
Now, the city, which had disappeared from the Immortal Domain, was manifesting itself from the void, emanating an ancient and savage aura as if an invincible army was marching through a distant time and space, heading towards the present.
This spectacle left everyone in shock. Both survivors from the Immortal Domain and experts from the Other Domain gathered and rushed over.
Above the sky, divine rainbows appeared one after another, accompanied by prominent figures from the Other Domain, riding in carriages or astride mounts enveloped in Immortal Energy.
The weakest among them were Sacred Emperors, who had cultivated for millions of years.
Besides them, there were also many young individuals, the majority hailing from the Other Domain. Only a small portion were the original inhabitants of the Western Immortal Domain, but they had already surrendered to the Other Domain, and had become subordinates to those Other Domain Forces.
The once peerless Saintess had now fallen into servitude as a maidservant for the young prodigies of the Other Domain, barely surviving and no longer shining with glory.
They possessed Immortal Qi, since they were natives of the Immortal Domain. This Immortal Qi wasn’t a result of entering the True Immortal Realm but rather a product of growing up in this world, nourished by the spiritual energy of this realm.
“If this is the rumoured ascension passageway, it means that behind this gateway lies the world we’ve always yearned for.”
“When the time comes, our Clan will undoubtedly lead a great army to conquer the Source of this realm and restore our homeland.”
“Only by winning the future battle for the True World can our Domain survive…”
Many youths from the Other Domain spoke, each exuding their unique charisma or fair complexion. Some even had wings on their backs, resembling ancient races. That said, they also resembled the human race in many ways.
Still, excitement and determination filled them right then as they stared fixedly at the gate that was solidifying itself in the void.
The majestic and imposing stone gate exuded an ancient aura that seemed to flow horizontally, pressing down on the ages, causing even the world to tremble.
Right then, the immensely tall stone gate coalesced from the void and continuously solidified before beginning to be pushed open as if someone on the other side wanted to step through.
Not only the Western Immortal Domain but the other Immortal Domain regions had also received news of the appearance of the Heavenly Ancient City at this point.
To those of the Immortal Domain, the Heavenly Ancient City was their last hope.
According to ancient legend, the world connected by the Immortal Domain and the Heavenly Ancient City was once unified, serving as the ancestral and land of origin for all living beings in the Immortal Domain. Even the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Domain were born from that world. It was only after enduring countless hardships and cultivating for endless ages that they finally achieved a great foundation and ruled over the various Forces of the Immortal Domain.
However, for some unknown reason, the Immortal Domain and the path that led to this world became inaccessible to each other. As a result, the Immortal Domain lost its connection to its Source. Then, like a water lily without roots, it was unable to sustain its former glory.
Countless ages passed, and the once majestic structure was on the verge of collapse. The five regions of the Immortal Domain sealed themselves off from each other, striving to survive in this chaotic era.
The appearance of the Heavenly Ancient City was a heavy blow to the hearts of many Immortal Domain inhabitants. It reignited a spark of hope in their already despairing hearts, driving them to find hope once more in that place.
“Huh, how laughable. Though, it can’t be helped that the Immortal Domain and its Source World got separated back then. It was because that world had experienced a catastrophic disaster, and many Immortals had to lead their people to escape…”
“Our Prime Ancestor has already deduced that even if the Source World were to appear, the world within it would be shattered, making it impossible for Immortals to be born.”
“After the path is reestablished, those from the Source World would seek to enter the Immortal Domain to pursue higher realms. But, that is just wishful thinking. Without time and a safe location, so what if they can reach the Immortal Domain?”
Many Elders from the Other Domain sneered, seeing that many of those from the Immortal Domain had gathered. These Elders weren’t the least bit worried that something formidable might be born from within the Source World.
*Whoosh!*
The world dimmed, and even the radiant moon concealed itself as a massive and terrifying figure descended from afar. It was a living being resembling a golden-winged giant Roc, with each feather shining brightly as if made of pure gold.
This imposing figure was none other than a True Daoist from the Other Domain, overwhelmingly powerful, moving at breakneck speed, appearing in two shakes.
Upon landing, he transformed into a resplendent middle-aged man, exuding an aura of awe-inspiring might, surrounded by black mist.
The appearance of a Other Domain True Daoist caused even more commotion in this place.
On the other hand, the Immortal Domain Immortals remained hidden, their whereabouts unknown, all of them cautious and discreet, fearing being targeted for extermination by the stronger experts from the Other Domain.
The inhabitants of the Immortal Domain, even the most powerful cultivators among them, were only at the Sacred Realm, far from reaching the Sacred Emperor Realm.
They trembled with fear in the presence of the Other Domain’s True Daoist, for just a trace of his aura was enough to annihilate them thousands of times over.
“It really is that path…” The middle-aged man from the Other Domain spoke with an intense glint in his eyes, akin to two heavenly swords clashing. He fixed his gaze at the emerging stone gate, amazed to see that the legendary city and gate had both appeared.
Soon after, several terrifying figures arrived, all True Daoists and all from the Other Domain. They were enveloped in black mist, faces blurred, resembling towering Demonic Shadows as they stood at the edge of the sky, icily observing the Heavenly Ancient City.
Everyone present felt insignificantly small, like ants, before them. Even a mere trace of aura inadvertently leaked by the True Daoists was enough to make ordinary Sacred Emperors explode. What was more, the Other Domain’s True Daoists reigned supreme in the present Western Immortal Domain and could suppress everything.
“I am curious to see what this legendary Heavenly Ancient City is all about. Has the world’s environment changed, or is someone scheming behind the scenes?” a True Daoist from the Other Domain sneered impassively. Golden light emanated from his eyes as he took a big step forward and headed straight for the materialising and illuminating stone gate.
He exuded a terrifying aura, and his whole body was engulfed in golden brilliance, resembling fiercely burning flames.
*Boom!*
A golden sun burst forth behind him, taller than him, enveloping him within. The cry of a golden crow resounded, shaking Heaven. The entire sky trembled, and stars from beyond fell because of his aura.
“The True Daoist Ancestor of the Dark Blood Gold Raven Clan…” Many Other Domain experts prostrated themselves under his presence, worshipping devoutly. The younger generation was even more so filled with utmost reverence, eagerly awaiting the sight of their invincible figure breaking open the stone gate.
As for the inhabitants of the Immortal Domain, they were trembling with fear. Many of them below couldn’t bear the pressure, and numerous individuals felt as if they were about to explode under such a powerful presence.
The True Daoist from the Dark Blood Gold Raven Clan clearly showed no restraint, attempting to explore the true nature of the stone gate.
*Boom!* The stone gate of the Heavenly Ancient City was slowly being pushed open, with cracks now more visible.
Inside, a vast light burst out, and the auras of the two worlds boiled and collided, even producing beams of light that soared into the sky, directly piercing through the entire Star Territory.
“It truly is the aura of another world. There’s a pathway there too…” The other Other Domain True Daoists were shaken, staring intently at the stone gate, trying to discern the scenes within. They could sense the immense and expansive World Energy coming from the other side, ancient and filled with the weight of time, even more ancient than the Immortal Domain itself.
It filled them with excitement as they recalled many rumours and speculations regarding the secrets of the Immortal Domain’s Source.
However, in the next moment, as if they noticed something, their expressions drastically changed, unable to maintain their previous emotions.
“Wait, there’s a figure. Someone is coming this way…”
“Could it be that he opened the gate and broke through the Severed Horizons? But how!?”
“Who are you!?” The True Daoist Ancestor of the Dark Blood Gold Raven Clan spoke up, asking with great astonishment and disbelief, shaking.
With a loud bang, myriad divine lights erupted from there, each divine light carrying a rune made of Principles. Among them were supreme runes and scriptures of the Dark Blood Gold Raven Clan, intertwining together to display world-shaking might.
This was the immense power of a True Daoist, and he was going all-out. He illuminated the universe, making it difficult for many people here to open their eyes or look directly at him.
However, soon after, blood mist erupted, accompanied by a loud crash. All the radiance vanished as if swallowed by boundless darkness.
“Impossible…” The Other Domain True Daoists all turned grave at once, feeling a chill running down their spines and a sense of horror washing over them.
The rest, be it from the Other Domain or from the Immortal Domain, who had gathered, also fell silent. They simply watched on as the majestic scene behind the stone gate settled down and the radiance faded away.
The city walls remained standing tall on top of the Heavenly Ancient City, but it was once again stained with the blood of a True Daoist, with no trace of his remains left.
The stone gate opened, and a young man walked out, dressed in a cyan silk robe, exuding a striking handsomeness. There were traces of iridescent Immortal aura surrounding him, but it quickly vanished, leaving him pure and extraordinary.
He simply walked forward, neither fast nor slow, followed by a large red bird flapping its wings. His gaze was calm, like the vast ocean and boundless emptiness. However, the entire world shook violently, seemingly about to collapse, unable to withstand his aura.
