The sky above Western Immortal Domain was cracking, especially in the area near the Western Heavenly Gate.
Everyone saw the massive crack from which a large and terrifying hand emerged. It came with a surge of energy that seemed like an unstoppable flood. One which could not be held back.
The surrounding Star Territories exploded with far too many stars turned to dust in the aftermath.
“Damn it…”
The expressions of the four Immortal Kings from the Other Domain, who were standing on the edge of the Immortal Domain, changed simultaneously.
Initially, they had been enraged by the way their opponent showed no fear and attempted to single-handedly take them on. They felt as if they were being underestimated.
They were Immortal Kings. No one had ever dared to belittle them this way before, even more so by choosing to attack all four of them simultaneously.
It was blatant mockery with signs of contempt.
Some of them were livid to the point they wanted to immediately strike back at Gu Changge to teach him a lesson.
However, as soon as that thought occurred to them, it felt as if an embankment in front of them had broken. A horrifying energy flooded over with such strength that it seemed to want to devour everything.
“He is stronger than we imagined. We can’t be careless! All those who reincarnated are bound to be extraordinary. They were prodigies of the past who dominated their peers. We must not underestimate him!”
One of the Immortal Kings direly said.
The four of them were not fools by any means. Earlier on, they had their doubts about what Profound Earth Immortal King reported to them, but as of now, they were fully convinced.
Their opponent’s strength far exceeded what they had expected. Ordinary Immortal Kings would most likely fail to survive this attack.
All the onlookers saw was simply a palm that was slowly falling in such a way that it seemed to be in control of all of existence and the fate of the world.
As for the Immortal Kings, they saw the endless might of the Great Dao and its Principles within this palm. It represented a great power that could easily destroy an entire universe.
*Rumble!*
They swiftly jumped into action. One of them also stretched out a giant hand to counter Gu Changge’s palm.
The universe above the Western Heavenly Gate trembled.
Gu Changge stood before the Heavenly Ancient City with a calm expression. He seemed unaffected by them. All he did was stretch out a hand.
However, the Souls of all those around him, including Jin Yuan, were trembling. They felt as if their bodies were about to fall apart. They could not even maintain their balance.
They were all terrified. None of them ever thought that this mysterious young man could single-handedly challenge four Immortal Kings from the Other Domain. He had taken such a dominant stance.
Jin Yuan’s scalp was tingling as a belated sense of fear washed over him. [Thankfully, I was respectful the whole time and answered all his questions.]
He recalled Gu Changge’s earlier words and the way the latter had viewed the Immortal Kings as nothing more than a supply of Sources. It made Jin Yuan shiver with terror, but at the same time, he felt thrilled and excited.
[Could it be that I will witness a terrifying and unprecedented feat today?]
Meanwhile, those from the Other Domain, who had shown frenzied reverence for the four Immortal Kings earlier, were now feeling terrified and uneasy. They felt as if they were being choked, unable to speak.
This was only due to a wisp of residual energy that had scattered out. They were not even near the centre of the area where the Immortal Kings were battling. Yet, from the chaos there, all kinds of unusual Principles and even astral storms had appeared.
Gu Changge’s palm was surrounded by countless planets, which had brought from beyond the Star Territory. One after the other, the massive planets slowly rotated with shocking amounts of Chaos Qi.
*Haaaaa!* One of the Immortal Kings roared. His body glowed and the fog around him dispersed, revealing his true appearance. His face was green and red with flames surrounding it.
He had many wings growing out of his back. Chaos Qi circled the wings that were clashing together like Immortal Swords. They were even thicker than the stars and planets, and it looked as if they were trying to counter Gu Changge’s hand.
The battle zone became too dazzling. Streaks of divine light flew out, forming an ocean of sword-like beams.
The Azure Heaven Immortal King also made his move. A towering silhouette of a beast emerged behind him and roared, making it seem as if everything was on the verge of annihilation.
Star shook and fell one after the other, plummeting like meteors towards the giant hand.
This was the attack of an Immortal King. If an ordinary True Immortal came into contact with it, they would immediately explode into dust.
Even an ordinary universe could not withstand such fluctuations. It would have collapsed from the very first moment it made contact, without being able to bear the burden.
Only places like the Western Immortal Domain could withstand the battle between Immortal Kings. Yet, even the barriers of the region was shaking.
Things had not been as terrifying as they were now, even when the Western Immortal Domain was attacked by armies from the Other Domain. If such energy burst into the surrounding universes, it would surely end their existence. None of the living beings there would be able to survive.
“These four Immortal Kings are indeed extraordinary. They are truly worthy of being experts who have reached the Immortal King Realm after the Forbidden Epoch. With how talented they are, they could’ve made a great name for themselves even in past eras…”
Although the big red bird was shocked, it watching everything closely and could not help but make a quiet comment when it saw the attacks of the four Immortal Kings.
Even though it no longer had a physical form, it still possessed the insight it should.
Nevertheless, what terrified it the most was Gu Changge. He merely stood in front of the Heavenly Ancient City and stretched his hand out. He did not even attempt to launch any other attacks. Yet, the four Immortal Kings were already struggling to hold their own.
[Just how powerful is Gu Changge now?]
Back in the Upper Realm, Gu Changge turned the hidden experts from the various Forces into pills. There, he successfully ascended into the Immortal Realm.
However, the big red bird knew Gu Changge had not yet undergone the actual baptism from the Light of Immortal Ascension.
Even so, he was exhibiting strength that surpassed that of ordinary Immortal Kings.
[Could it be that he had regained the power of the Demon Lord?] This thought made the big red bird tremble. It could hardly believe it. It was simply unimaginable if that was the case.
“These four Immortal Kings are indeed talented. It’s a shame that I only just entered the Immortal Domain and have not used the True Immortal Essence to refine my body. Even though I have absorbed and devoured a fair number of Dao Fruits and supplemented them with some of the Immortal Factors of the Immortal Domain… My physical body still possesses many flaws.”
Gu Changge shook his head slightly. The strength of his palm was regrettable to him.
Indeed, he was simply running a test right now, but he wasn’t testing the strength of his opponents. Instead, he was testing to see just how mighty a casual flick of his palm was.
Alas, the results were somewhat lamentable to him.
*Rumble!*
Over at the Western Heavenly Gate, World Principles were in chaos as all kinds of energies surged and roared. Chaos Qi surged violently. Some of the large stars could not withstand the fluctuations and shattered into pieces, emitting a blinding light.
It was as if the world was coming to an end. From a distance, one could see the stars exploding one after the other. It was a terrifying sight.
Gu Changge made his move again. This time, it was no longer a simple flick of his palm. Traces of Great Dao flowed between his fingers, and soon after that, it felt as if the universe was solidifying. Never-ending black energy turned into cages and fell upon the four Immortal Kings in front of the Western Heavenly Gate.
Cages materialised, one after the other, surrounded by chains made of the Great Dao. Suddenly, the cages smashed down upon the four Immortal Kings, transforming into a sea of black energy.
“Just what kind of Dao is this!?” The Azure Heaven Immortal King’s face contorted as he felt himself being restrained. He had been moving swiftly at first, but now, his movements slowed down as if he had fallen into a patch of mud.
Nevertheless, he was no ordinary being. He spat out divine light from his mouth, seemingly able to cleanse everything.
Another Immortal King brought out his weapon, which was a pitch-black spear that radiated a destructive divine light. The void was torn apart as he used it to attack the cage.
The Profound Earth Immortal King’s heart sank. He did not expect this to happen when all four of them joined forces. Fortunately, he had been decisive enough to extract himself earlier. Otherwise, he would be facing unimaginable consequences.
He had an artifact, which was a golden pagoda with seven levels. It lit up the sky, forming a golden sun behind him. The Dao cascaded like waterfalls in an incomparably powerful fashion.
*Boom!*
All kinds of Dao Abilities clashed against each other. Heaven and Earth seemed to crumble as terrifying fluctuations emerged from the sea of black energy.
This energy filled every corner of existence, which seemed to shatter in response. The place was a hazy and chaotic blur.
“Kill him!”
Another Immortal King had a cold expression on his face as he vanished from the Western Heavenly Gate and crossed through several Star Territories. He wanted to appear before the Heavenly Ancient City and directly confront Gu Changge instead of exchanging Dao Abilities.
His strength lay in his physical body. He was a unique species from the past known as the Corrupted Hou. His Ancestors had feasted on True Dragons and had a deep connection with the Qilin. As for his lineage, their bloodline had been tainted by the Yin Energy from the Source Realm which corrupted him, and turned him into a Corrupted Hou.
Still, this gave him an exceedingly powerful physique that was impervious to pain and was extraordinarily strong.
Although he possessed great Dao Abilities, his physical body was his greatest strength. During the attack on the Western Immortal Domain, he personally tore off an arm of the Glorious Heaven Immortal King. He was so strong that all the other Immortal Kings from the Other Domain feared him.
“You’re delivering yourself up to me? What a great gift. I’m a little overwhelmed.” In front of the Heavenly Ancient City, Gu Changge was looking at the rapidly approaching figure with a smile. He was a little surprised a gift would appear before him like this.
However, Jin Yuan and the others were almost crushed by the terrifying aura of the Immortal King. Their physical bodies were on the verge of crumbling as they could clearly see the Immortal King’s true body.
The Immortal King’s true body was about the size of a calf. It was similar to a Qilin but completely different at the same time. He looked like a canine with dragon features and pitch-black scales.
At the very next moment, he used his Dharma Body to reach into the sky, causing blood-red fog to surge around him.
The sky dimmed as many stars swiftly shattered after being pierced by the light of a myriad of Principles.
No one could see clearly anymore. The fog had grown a lot denser. Even Heaven Peering Eyes could not see through it.
Although the figure was closer now, it was still countless kilometres away. However, it was so massive that they could see it.
“Perhaps I’ll make even more progress if I devour your flesh. I might even be able to reach that realm in the future! For this gracious opportunity, tell me who you are. That way, I can at least remember my benefactor.” Corrupted Hou spoke up. His voice was like a tolling bell that echoed across the universe.
Countless from the Other Domain and the Western Immortal Domain all heard his voice. They felt as if their ears would burst as it penetrated their Souls.
He fixed his gaze on Gu Changge. He could sense that the latter’s body contained startling Divinity and a powerful Source.
This tempted him. He thought that this was perhaps his opportunity.
As his physical body was extremely powerful, he could walk away unscathed even when a number of Immortal Kings besieged him.
From the earlier exchange, he sensed that despite being fairly powerful, Gu Changge wasn’t powerful enough to match the strength of his physical body.
” Corrupted Hou is being too reckless. He shouldn’t act so carelessly!”
In front of the Western Heavenly Gate, Profound Earth and Azure Heaven had not anticipated the fact that Corrupted Hou would choose to appear before the Heavenly Ancient City and engage Gu Changge in a fight.
They felt a uneasy and rushed over in a hurry as well, tearing through Star Territories to arrive as quickly as possible.
For Immortal Kings, this distance could be covered in the blink of an eye, but being too overconfident could lead to trouble.
“Tell you who I am? You’re not qualified to know.” Gu Changge chuckled softly. His expression showed his lack of concern. He spoke indifferently as if he had merely stated a fact.
Corrupted Hou was not angered by his words. He simply responded coldly, “In that case, your life ends today. Your flesh and body will be my nourishment.”
“My flesh and body? It just so happens that my physical body is a little imperfect. You came at just the right time.” Gu Changge shook his head. He did not expect this fool to possess such confidence, to the point where the fool wanted to become stronger by devouring him.
Corrupted Hou could not be considered an idiot if he was able to become an Immortal King. It was just that he was too overconfident. He had too much faith in the strength of his physical body.
“Enough talk.” Corrupted Hou’s pupils contracted slightly before he coldly retorted.
He did not know why Gu Changge could be so composed at this moment. [Since I am bold enough to come here, it naturally means that I have complete confidence in myself. I’m not afraid of any Immortal King.]
*Rumble!*
Corrupted Hou made his move. Not a single part of him remained still. He exhibited his unparalleled talent. The moment he opened his mouth, all the light vanished.
An ancient aura surged forth; one that did not seem to belong to a living being but a piece of history that had come back to life!
All kinds of powerful Principles evolved in his mouth, forming mysterious seals that moved to devour Gu Changge. The entire Star Territory and nearby universes in front the Heavenly Ancient City sank into darkness.
It was as if he devoured everyone there, regardless of whether they were from the Other Domain or the Western Immortal Domain. The world fell into complete darkness and silence.
Jin Yuan was terrified. His entire body went cold. He watched as the Immortal King swallowed everything in his path, including all the living beings around him. Everyone felt complete despair.
“Trying to devour me? What gives you the audacity?” Gu Changge’s expression remained calm as his hand swept horizontally towards the wide-open mouth.
*Clang!* Endless light exploded and a dense black light flowed. Then, Corrupted Hou let out a muffled groan.
A pair of arms appeared out of nowhere, breaking through the eternal blue sky!
Everyone was stunned by this scene. Their blood had frozen at first before it began to boil again. It was a grand sight that was beyond all their wildest imaginations.
Gu Changge’s expression was as icy as it could possibly be. He stretched out one arm to destroy everything before him, and with a pop, he grabbed Corrupted Hou’s true body.
Everything around him vanished and collapsed. Principles dissipated and light returned.
“You…” Corrupted Hou’s eyes were filled with disbelief and a hint of fear. His mouth was torn apart. Gu Changge had caught hold of his true body. He had never expected that his body, his greatest asset, would be broken so easily.
