Buddhist Kingdom had perished, and its entire Star Territory had collapsed. In this way, the vast world that originally thrived with boundless vitality and Buddha aura was wiped from the surface of the map.
Many experts in the other Star Territories who noticed the phenomenon immediately became frightened. After all, the extremely prosperous Buddhist Kingdom was crushed and reduced to complete ruins with no living creature within a single day.
“Buddhist Kingdom was protected by an Immortal King, yet it was so easily destroyed, removed from history.”
“How terrifying.”
“It must be the work of the Forbidden Existence. He must have annihilated Buddhist Kingdom and slaughtered King Bodhi.”
Many of the True Immortals were petrified. They stared in the direction of Buddhist Kingdom from a great distance away and shivered in fear. Not knowing what had happened in Buddhist Kingdom, they could only make vague speculations. Besides, they could not think of any other possibilities aside from that explanation. Even for an Immortal King, it was impossible to annihilate Buddhist Kingdom within a single day. Not to mention, King Bodhi was also there.
“That’s just horrifying. The flourishing Buddhist Kingdom was completely erased from the surface of the world in less than a day. There are no longer any traces of Buddhist Kingdom left.”
“Did King Bodhi anger the Forbidden Existence?”
Many trembled in terror, recalling the deaths of the four Other Domain Immortal Kings in the Western Immortal Domain. That portion of the universe had turned indescribably hard to look into, along with the strong stench of decay permeated the air. Many Star Territories nearby had collapsed in quick succession.
The deaths of these Immortal Kings caused the World Principles to undergo drastic changes, which subsequently resulted in the traces of the Great Dao swirling and intertwining with each other.
The commotion caused by the destruction of Buddhist Kingdom was frightfully violent. Correspondingly, the aura of the Dao of Buddha left behind in the universe by King Bodhi also swiftly vanished following the fall of Buddhist Kingdom. It was as though the entire universe had transformed into a spooky ghost town with no vitality whatsoever. Only infinite silence and nothingness remained. The entire world had crumbled, the stars had shattered to pieces, and everything in the world had fallen to ruin.
Innumerable Buddhist Forces and believers had previously inhabited the once-prosperous Buddhist Kingdom, where religious belief ran as deep as the sea. Unfortunately, they were completely reduced to ashes and buried along with the collapsed universe.
Three figures stood at the corners of a triangle in the Northern Immortal Domain, which was closest to the Southern Immortal Domain. The Immortal Kings of the Northern Immortal Domain immediately perceived the aura of Buddhist Kingdom’s extinction.
As Immortal Kings, they could sense the presence of each other to a certain extent.
“King Bodhi’s aura has vanished… I can’t believe it. When I first met King Bodhi, he was expected to advance further in his cultivation… How unfortunate…” The white-haired and white-bearded old man sitting cross-legged under the tree had a profound look in his eyes. Heaving a heavy sigh, he climbed to his feet at this moment.
He had naturally received the decree delivered by Bai Chuan. Therefore, he had been wondering about how he should deal with the matter. Should he procrastinate as much as possible? Or, should he attend the banquet that would be held half a month later?
Despite knowing that he was walking directly into a trap, he had no other choice.
“Even if the powerful beings from before the Forbidden Epoch were to recover and return this instant, there is nothing they can do to change the situation. The Forbidden Existence is probably the strongest being in history… Who can stop him if he is determined to destroy the world?”
The white-haired and white-bearded old man’s gaze was filled with anguish and helplessness, but he did not feel as hopeless as the others. At his cultivation level, he had more or less lived for several centuries. Hence, he had become rather indifferent to many things in life. Since it was impossible to change his fate, useless no matter how much he struggled, what would be the point of struggling?
“The destruction of Buddhist Kingdom is similar to the scene recorded in the ancient records, where the world collapsed and everything was reduced to ashes. Did he destroy Buddhist Kingdom as a warning to us?”
The void blurred, and a figure emerged from within. The Immortal King with hair that resembled flames had arrived at this place. Having also heard about the destruction of Buddhist Kingdom, he was terrified and unwilling to accept the situation. He felt as though he had seen his imminent end. After all, even the impregnable Buddhist Kingdom had been crushed in less than a day. How could the Immortal Domain even hope to compete?
News about Buddhist Kingdom’s demise within a day shook the entire Immortal Domain to the core. Even Immortal Kings were uneasy and scared, what more the ordinary people? They couldn’t help feeling as though a great catastrophe was looming over their heads, and nobody would be spared from the disaster. Buddhist Kingdom located in the Southern Immortal Domain was the best example.
Many people made wild speculations. They claimed that King Bodhi must have been slaughtered by the Forbidden Existence, which resulted in the destruction and annihilation of the prosperous Buddhist Kingdom in a single day. However, nobody dared to travel to Buddhist Kingdom and investigate the truth in person. They did not even dare to approach the collapsed Star Territory. It was no surprise. The power behind the destruction of Buddhist Kingdom was unbelievably powerful after all. Even the World Principles in the area had been reduced to nothingness.
…
Deep within the Other Domain, King Ming stood in front of a cave that radiated Immortal Light with a respectful expression on his face. He was reporting about the recent affairs to the Immortal Emperor Ancestor inside the cave.
“I am unable to remove the marks on your body.” Sitting cross-legged in the deepest part of the cave, the Immortal Emperor Ancestor, who resembled the God of Creation since ancient times, lamented. He gave off an air of archaicism and vicissitudes. Moreover, the aura Chaos Mist lingering around his body were extremely blurry.
“Are you also unable to remove these marks even though you are a peerless Immortal Emperor Ancestor?” Upon receiving a definitive answer, King Ming’s complexion went deathly pale. He seemed to have a hard time accepting the truth.
“The Other Domain is about to fall into chaos. Even if you did not have these marks on your body, it will not change anything,” the Immortal Emperor Ancestor said after a moment of silence.
The ancient beings of the Other Domain could be traced back to the period before the Immortal Domain experienced the Forbidden Epoch. They were born in a distant era even further back in time. Furthermore, there was more than one Immortal Emperor in seclusion within the Other Domain.
The Immortal Emperor, whom King Ming was paying a formal visit, had previously exited seclusion approximately tens of millions of years in the past. At the time, he had summoned King Ming at the time to exchange for the imitation of the Eight Barren Demon Halberd in King Ming’s possession.
“Are we supposed to do nothing and simply accept our fate to become his nourishment? If somebody like him were to reappear in the world, then no Immortal King could even hope to compete with him…”
Although King Ming was a mighty and majestic Immortal King, he was no different from an ordinary cultivator in front of an Immortal Emperor. At this moment, he wore a terrified expression on his face. He hoped for the Immortal Emperors to leave their seclusion and reappear in the world once more.
The number of Immortal Emperor Ancestors in seclusion within the Other Domain was not small. In other words, the Other Domain might actually stand a chance against Gu Changge if they joined hands together. After all, it had already been concluded that Gu Changge had not recovered to his former peak state. With his strength, there was no reason for him to hunt down the Immortal Kings otherwise. Even the most powerful Immortal Emperor was far from enough to compete against him.
“The Other Domain and the Immortal Domain are destined to undergo great changes. After all, the Mountains and Oceans True World is bound to be unified once more and the former existences will return again. If we emerge into the world early, we will not be able to avoid annihilation if something goes wrong.”
It was rare for this Immortal Emperor to be so loquacious. Moreover, he mentioned certain things that were about to happen in the future. The Mountains and Oceans True World would be unified once more. At the same time, the Immortal Domain and the Other Domain would undergo extensive changes. That was an unavoidable and established future.
As a Immortal Emperor, he could be considered the strongest beings in the Mountains and Oceans True World. With the exception of the figures from the most ancient of times that nobody could compare with them. However, the Heavenly Secrets of the Immortal Domain was far too chaotic. Some of the strongest among different Forces had already made comprehensive plans and gone into hiding like the ancient times to avoid the calamity of the current era.
“Will the peerless Immortal Emperor Ancestors also be annihilated?” King Ming trembled in fear and horror.
“The current situation is unclear, so we can only watch how the situation unfolds. Who knows? This could be an opportunity for us to test the waters. Perhaps some people might be unable to restrain themselves and step forward…” The Immortal Emperor’s voice was ancient and calm without much fluctuation.
