The Nine Heavens had always been the representative of various mysteries and legends to the outside world. After all, how many living creatures had actually seen the Nine Heavens since ancient times? Even Qing Feng honestly thought that it would take him a long time to find it.
Although Qing Feng was seeing a divine and ancient living creature like the Black Tortoise at such a close distance for the first time in his life. The fact that the Black Tortoise was used as a mere tool to pull a flying boat along the enormous waterfall was even more shocking to him. Nevertheless, the sight filled him with a strange familiarity for some reason. It almost felt as though he had been here before.
Afterwards, his figure shifted. Riding the Dragon Climber, he stepped onto the back of the Old White Tortoise and landed on the Turquoise Flying Boat. The endless Astral Waterfall poured down with deafening momentum, which made one’s heart skip a beat in fright.
“Sit tight, Friend.”
The Old White Tortoise’s voice was primitive yet powerful. Following a simple warning, he slowly entered the Astral Waterfall.
The Turquoise Flying Boat was quaint. A layer of Immortal Mist lingering around the surface, isolating the inside from the outside. Thus, the journey up the waterfall was as steady as a rock.
Despite the tremendous force that came pouring down from the sky, the Old White Tortoise’s body remained steady and immovable. It truly showed just how powerful his body was. Meanwhile, Qing Feng sat motionless with his legs crossed. Watching the ancient stars spinning away under his feet, he could not help feeling amazed by the splendour of the legendary Nine Heavens.
The Turquoise Flying Boat had a magnificent galaxy as its roof. In addition, the beams were made from Immortal Gold Ancient Wood, the body and oars were made from Purest Immortal Gold. The flying boat was certainly gigantic and ancient. Qing Feng could even feel the vicissitudes of life coming from the flying boat, as though he was struggling within the River of Time.
“I wonder what the legendary Nine Heavens is like… Master, Cen Shuang… Please wait for me.” Qing Feng murmured to himself.
Gazing straight at the vast land stretching out at the end of the waterfall, he suddenly felt a large burst of awe welling up in his heart. The scenery made him feel as though he was travelling through various ancient universes. The River of Time seemed to flow into the distance underneath his feet, interweaving between the present and the past.
“Friend, what kind of place is the Nine Heavens?” It was difficult for him to compose his turbulent emotions. In the end, he could not help blurting out the question to the Old White Tortoise.
Upon hearing the question, the Old White Tortoise made a sound somewhere between a sneer and a heartfelt sigh.
“Friend, since you’re already on the way to the Nine Heavens, won’t you know when you get there?”
People claimed that the Nine Heavens was very mysterious. They claimed not only was it the Source of Immortality, but it was also the root of all Techniques. Hence, there were countless opportunities and miracles in the Nine Heavens.
However, the Nine Heavens was more like a prison or a cage to the creatures and clans living in the Nine Heavens. Day after day, year after year… Eternal reincarnation meant that they were forever trapped here throughout their endless cycle of lives.
Why was the Nine Heavens named as such? It was actually because the Nine Heavens was composed of nine Heavenly Layers.
Moreover, there was endless hidden ancient history buried in each Heavenly Layer. Even the Old White Tortoise did not know what could be found in the Nine Heavens. Was the Nine Heavens the tomb of Heavens? Or, did each Heavenly Layer contain a former form of Heaven?
…
At the same time, between the borders of the Immortal Domain and the Other Domain.
The world surged violently and the River of Time shuddered. The entire universe seemed on the verge of collapse. It was difficult for the endless Star Territories to withstand the horrifying aura, which threatened to shatter the whole world.
Gu Changge’s figure appeared in the sky, seeming as though he was standing at the end of the world and looking down on the vast Other Domain before him.
There were numerous fragmented universes between the borders of the Other Domain and the Immortal Domain. They had crumbled to pieces during the previous war between both Realms and ceased to exist. Therefore, there were hardly any living beings. The whole area was dead and silent, reduced to a mere buffer zone during the war between both Realms.
However, the Immortal Domain’s world barrier began to hum when Gu Changge appeared. Even the sky above the Other Domain exhibited horrifying momentum that resembled waves crashing against the shore. The sky collapsed and the ground fractured, obliterating everything in the world.
In the distance stood several Immortal Kings who followed Gu Changge from the Immortal Domain. The Proud Immortal King and Blood Owl Immortal King were there too. They shuddered in fear at the sight.
Ordinary cultivators could not see what was happening, but they could sense the entire Immortal Domain trembling in tandem to Gu Changge’s Will. Countless stars shook violently as though they were about to fall from the sky.
“Who is currently in charge of the Other Domain?” Gu Changge coldly questioned. The billions of Chaos Immortal Radiance that surged from his body were bright and gorgeous.
A supreme aura ascended from the Other Domain as though an unparallel Immortal Ancestor had awoken. The oppressive aura covered every corner of the world, causing even the universe to shake in turmoil. Large pieces of fragmented ancient universes also seemed on the verge of breaking and shattering into dust.
The force was simply too horrifying. Even the expressions of the Immortal Kings changed drastically in an instant. They hurriedly surrendered and prostrated themselves on the ground.
“It’s the aura from that day…”
There were many powerful beings, who had achieved Immortality before the ancient times. They lived in the fragmented universes scattered around the Other Domain. Their Souls involuntarily shuddered in fear, and they fought the urge to kneel down. The phenomenon greatly shocked them.
“This aura is definitely on the level of the Immortal Emperors, maybe even higher…”
Their voices trembled. All they felt at this moment was pure terror.
“Could it be the person who once destroyed the Immortal Palace? Did he come here to carry out the Great Purge?”
“Has the Great Purge started?”
Trembling slightly, they naturally began to speculate about the situation. Honestly, various speculations had already appeared after the death of the Four Kings of the Other Domain that took place many years ago.
Countless Other Domain Immortal Kings became restless because they could feel the danger looming over them. At the same time, they were worried that the Other Domain would be implicated in the disaster. Who could rebel against such an existence in this day and age? Even King Ming, whom they feared, had gone into hiding in seclusion after meeting an Immortal Emperor.
Not to mention, the Immortal Domain and the Upper Realm had been unified recently. The overwhelming power from that incident had spread to the Other Domain despite the infinite distance between them, and numerous people from the Other Domain had sensed the fluctuations.
Not only were those from the Other Domain subjected to the suppression of the new Great Dao as soon as they approached the Immortal Domain, but the suppression was much stronger than before. Under such oppression, how could they dare to step foot into the Immortal Domain again?
Against the Forbidden Existence, who once destroyed the Immortal Palace, it was impossible for the current Other Domain to raise any resistance. It was simply a horrific catastrophe.
The sky trembled violently, and billions of Great Dao Principles poured down like the waters of a waterfall. At this moment, the Great Dao was rumbling loudly! The worlds in front of the Other Domain steadily disintegrating. A terrifying aura spread outwards like a humongous piece of land coming down from above and casting endless shadows everywhere.
It was at that moment that Gu Changge finally took action. With a horizontal swipe of his hand, he split the ground before him. The Other Domain’s world barrier was instantly torn apart like a piece of cloth.
Meanwhile, the those living in the universes nearby felt as though the world had suddenly gone dark. All they could see was a gigantic hand that seemed boundless swooping down from the sky. Even the stars orbiting in the surroundings abruptly seemed like tiny specks of dust. They were simply too tiny in comparison.
“The Immortal King of my Family has fled…”
“Under these circumstances, even Immortal Kings will die.”
Those of the Other Domain, even those who had become Immortal, shivered in fear. Against that world-destroying aura, they could only tremble and kneel down in submission.
Fortunately, Gu Changge had no intention of being cruel towards them. He simply tore open the Other Domain’s sky and reached out his hand.
Nevertheless, countless territories in his path collapsed, landing directly on a cave mansion belonging to one of the Immortal Kings of the Other Domain. However, the cave mansion was long empty, and nothing remained inside. The Immortal King had fled long ago, disregarding the fate of his people and territory.
Gu Changge said nothing, but his eyes were cold and deep. Taking a step forward, he instantly appeared in the Other Domain.
Boundless Great Dao Shackles instantly extended forward, manifesting in the void and descending from the sky to restrain him. Be that as it may, his body radiated with light. Even the Sun was not as bright as the light coming from his body. Every single cell in his body was as vast as an ancient universe.
His body, which had been tempered to the extreme, had reached an unimaginable level after he refined the True Blood left behind by the Demon Lord. In fact, his body now seemed even more indestructible than ever. It was practically impossible for the world to destroy him.
*Crack…* The Great Dao Shackless shattered into pieces in an instant, incapable of restraining Gu Changge in the slightest. When Gu Changge’s True Body descended upon the Other Domain and stood, even the universes could barely withstand his presence.
Billions from the Other Domain watched the entire incident in horror and fear as they could only sink into a deep abyss of despair.
“Is no Immortal King going to come forward to greet me?”
Gu Changge questioned in a cold and indifferent manner. At the same time, he scanned the universes with his gaze. His frosty voice spread throughout the universes, terrifying countless from the Other Domain.
Raising his hand, he pressed his palm downwards! A vast and horrifying aura immediately swept outwards once more. He attacked for the second time, causing a bone-chilling and freezing aura mixed with incomparable murderous intent to emerge in various universes.
The world seemed to break apart under the ghastly force until it was impossible to recover again.
It was at this time that Immortal Kings from the Immortal Domain would be able to arrive safely. They would not be subjected to the suppression and restrains of the Other Domain’s World Principles.
Proud Immortal King, the Mysterious Ancient Immortal King, and the others watched everything from a distance. The sight shocked them to the core.
They had rushed over and entered the territory of the Other Domain with thousands of troops behind them. Although the army they brought was astonishingly powerful, their strength seemed almost insignificant under these circumstances.
If an actual war were truly to break out between the Other Domain and the Immortal Domain, the number of universes and lives that would be implicated in the war could only be described as uncountable. The corpses of those who would perish in the war would fill the universe.
Icy murderous intent bloomed in the vast darkness and transformed into an absolute eternity!
*Pop! Pop! Pop!* Universe after universe were demolished. They lost their colours forever and sank into an eternal silence.
“Friend, what do you want?”
*Tremble!* The entire world shuddered, and the aura of death swept throughout the land. All living creatures were frightened by the phenomenon.
At this moment, a supreme existence from the Other Domain had finally arrived. Heaving a long sigh, he stared at Gu Changge. He was very strong.
He was surrounded by endless Fragments of Time, and his strength was far beyond the reach of Immortal Kings. In fact, it felt as though he was no longer on the same level as the Immortal Kings.
The aura belonged to a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Dark and profound, the aura that stretched across multiple universes was terrifying to the extreme. When fully awakened, the momentum created by such an existence was immense and boundless.
Behind the supreme existence was King Ming and the other Immortal Kings of the Other Domain. They too have finally emerged. With a Quasi-Immortal Emperor as their leader, they witnessed everything while shaking and trembling in fear.
Only several seconds had passed since Gu Changge tore open the Other Domain’s Heavenly Gates, travelled through numerous universes between the two Realms, and arrived here. Moreover, the Other Domain’s World Principles were unable to restrain Gu Changge in the slightest. As soon as they touched his body, they shattered and disappeared.
Such strength was no longer within what Immortal Kings could perceive.
“Are you the Immortal Emperor who recently exited seclusion? It’s a pity that you are only in the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm and not the actual Immortal Emperor Realm. Countless epochs have passed, but have the Other Domain’s Immortal Emperors fallen to the point, where a mere Quasi-Immortal Emperor can take charge?”
Gu Changge stood in the depths of the dark Universe. His voice was flat and void of emotion, but he could not help feeling a twinge of regret when he looked at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor who had stepped forward.
At the peak of the Other Domain, Immortal Emperors had always been in the Immortal Emperor Realm. Some of them might even exceed the Immortal Emperor Realm and reach much further to touch the threshold of the Realm of Absolute Detachment. Unfortunately, even the Other Domain had been affected by the destruction Gu Changge had caused. Now, even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor could also be regarded as an Immortal Emperor…
Gu Changge did not know whether the real Immortal Emperors had gone into hiding and refused to reveal themselves or whether the situation had truly fallen to such dire straits.
His actions today were extremely forceful. He had travelled directly to the Other Domain and destroyed numerous universes that were adjacent to the Immortal Domain without hesitation. Contrary to his expectations, the Other Domain turned out to be so forbearing. Nobody had taken any action until this Quasi-Immortal Emperor had appeared. He could not help feeling slightly guilty.
“I am Emperor Yi. Pleased to meet you, Friend.”
Upon hearing Gu Changge’s statement, the expression of Emperor Yi, who stepped forward, changed.
He was the true lord of the Other Domain, who stood proudly in the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm. Even an Immortal King would die at a flick of his fingers. Known as the Immortal and Invincible Emperor, he had countless believers and followers under him.
However, he was currently being scorned by Gu Changge. Even though he knew that Gu Changge was not only extremely strong but also a legendary figure, the title of ‘Emperor’ was not to be humiliated.
“Can a Quasi-Immortal Emperor call themselves an ‘Emperor’ nowadays?”
In any case, Gu Changge simply shook his head with a soft laugh. Emperor Yi could not differentiate whether the laughter was mockery or mourning. Likewise, the expressions of many Immortal Kings in the Other Domain changed drastically.
Emperor Yi could be said to be the current backbone of the Other Domain. He was also the only Immortal Emperors who had exited seclusion, so he was responsible for presiding over the general situation. Hence, almost all the Immortal Kings in the Other Domain were currently under his command.
“The world has changed. Friend, do you really think we are still living in the previous era, where you could act as you please?” Emperor Yi’s expression was grim.
As a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, he had already reached an incredible level in terms of control over his emotions. Therefore, he did not allow his emotions to affect his mind even though he was angry.
In reality, he secretly wanted to try on this young man in front of him. He was very curious about how strong Gu Changge, who was once the Demon Lord, who brought chaos to the world and was the culprit who destroyed the Immortal Palace, was now.
