The current Immortal Domain appeared to be tranquil, yet powerful undercurrents surged beneath its serene facade. Even the most powerful Immortal Kings would find themselves crushed if they were inadvertently swept into its dark and turbulent depths.
Queen Lunar was aware that she had only managed to break through to the Immortal King Realm and became a female Immortal King, ruling over many universes by relying on the Legacy left behind by those who came before her.
She recognised that her talent fell short in comparison to others who had attained a similar cultivation realm. Many individuals at her level had languished within the confines of the Immortal King Realm for tens of millions of years, if not longer.
Although the environment of the Immortal Domain had undergone significant transformations and had become much more suitable for cultivators to cultivate, this newfound prosperity was only temporary.
Queen Lunar knew that an impending Great Purge would befall the Immortal Domain in the foreseeable future, with the earliest being a few decades and the slowest being a century from now. She surmised that there was nothing much these cultivators could achieve within a century, let alone come close to the already hard to reach Nirvana Realm.
Therefore, the Queen Lunar had already made up her mind to give up on her pursuit of understanding the Dao and cultivation. Instead, she dedicated herself to serving Gu Changge, in an attempt to gain his favour.
It was through this devotion that she hoped to secure her survival in the impending Great Purge, avoiding the destruction of her Dao Fruit and the dispersal of her Soul.
Naturally, from the Queen Lunar’s perspective, becoming Gu Changge’s woman would be the most foolproof method. Regrettably, she believed that such an opportunity was exceedingly unlikely.
Gu Changge did not harbour any romantic interest towards her. When he was still in her residence, she even tested him, but he was completely indifferent to her, treating her as if she were merely air.
This disheartened the Queen Lunar for some time. In the vast Immortal Domain, countless Immortal Kings had pursued her, so she definitely had the looks. However, considering Gu Changge’s status, it made sense that he had encountered all kinds of women out there. There were even rumours that the former Grand Palace Master of the Immortal Palace was his lover…
Still, Queen Lunar found this rumour somewhat dubious. After all, Gu Changge must be truly heartless if he could kill his own lover with his own hands.
“Since I have identified the clues that may lead to the Land of Reincarnation, perhaps I should venture there myself and investigate. It may be dangerous, but this is an opportunity for me to shine.” Queen Lunar’s enchanting eyes shimmered.
She had initially planned to send her subordinates to investigate the Land of Reincarnation. Upon further reflection, she realised that this task was personally assigned by Gu Changge, indicating its significance.
Despite the numerous perils lurking in the Dark Tide, she possessed the means to navigate them and ensure her own safety as an Immortal King. Her willingness to risk her life should be sufficient to demonstrate her unwavering dedication to Gu Changge.
With this thought in mind, the Queen Lunar waved her hand. A magnificent jade belt, that was shrouded by Chaos Qi, flew towards her from the depths of the cave mansion, and wrapped itself around her slender waist.
This belt was her Immortal King Grade Artifact. It was crafted from the extremely rare Mother of Gold, rendering it impervious to destruction. Its texture, though soft to the touch, possessed an incredible versatility, capable of transforming into countless formidable weapons, each possessing an immense and unparalleled power.
After taking her Immortal King Grade Artifact, Queen Lunar remained apprehensive and picked up a few more Artifacts before tearing through the universe, traversing the space and making her way to the Boundless Battlefield.
This place was strictly guarded by the several Immortal King Families from the Central Immortal Domain. Even so, the formidable defences proved futile against the might of an Immortal King. Moreover, she came under the guise of Gu Changge’s order, so none dared to stop her.
This guarded area was also called the Boundless Battlefield. This was a generic name given because it was connected to the Boundless Battlefield, as it was easier to just expand the area of the Boundless Battlefield to include this area.
In truth, the actual Boundless Battlefield was ancient battlefield with unknown origins. It was the final resting place for many figures from ancient times. Some ruins here were even older than the Celestial Ancient Era, which was before the Forbidden Era! There were also many signs indicating that there was a more magnificent eras before the Celestial Ancient Era!
Many people from later generations obtained the Legacies of their predecessors in the Boundless Battlefield.
Amidst the chaos, a fortunate few managed to unearthed incomplete treasures filled with innate blessings. Such people ultimately become powerful Immortal Kings.
Some stumbled upon ancient Pill Formulas among these treasures. These ancient Pills enabled them to reshape the essence of their innate talents, thereby allowing them to alter their destiny and forge a new path that defied Heaven itself…
The materials required for Queen Lunar to refine the Immortal King Grade Artifact, known as the Divine Moon Belt, were acquired from the Boundless Battlefield too.
Within the Immortal Domain, this Boundless Battlefield held infinite potential and was zealously guarded to prevent outsiders from trespassing. In truth, these Forces desired to claim the Boundless Battlefield for themselves and monopolise the abundant opportunities it held.
The vast expanse of land was red, as if stained by blood. Yellow sand was swept up in many areas, while the sky shifted between light and dark, veiled by gloomy clouds and mist.
This place stretched on endlessly, like a boundless continent. Massive rifts scattered throughout, releasing bloody haze in certain locations.
In the distance, one could see Qi and blood rising into Heaven like smoke signal.
From time to time, the remains of powerful experts who had perished countless years ago would release tremendous auras, similar to a volcanic eruption. Any living being unfortunate enough to be caught in its wake would be reduced to mere ashes, obliterated both body and Soul.
For ordinary creatures, this place was a cruel Hell, where countless corpses were laid to rest.
Every tiny piece of yellow mud or even a puddle of blood contained a terrifying deadly aura. Boundless opportunities lay in wait in this place, but also countless perils. Even the yellow sand covering the sky, failed to cover the traces of those great battles that were forever etched upon this place.
On the outskirts of this ancient battlefield, there was an ancient city suspended in the air like an imperial pass that would never fall, overseeing the vast expanse of this place. It was surrounded by a veil of twinkling stars that resembled a mystical haze of stardust. In the face of its majestic presence, even the most ancient stars became as insignificant as dust.
Outside the ancient city, a chilling and vicious blade scar could be seen in the sky, as though it was an attempt to cleave the world. Stretching across the vast expanse, this mark became an impenetrable barrier, obstructing the Boundless Battlefield.
Even the mightiest Immortal Kings dared not approach, as their bodies threatened to explode under the sheer pressure from this mark.
“You have returned, yet your Soul remains astray…” An ancient ballad echoed throughout the ancient city. It was a song reminiscing one’s Ancestors, evoking a mournful sentiment that brought tears to those who listened. The city walls were covered with battle scars, remnants of countless conflicts that happened within it. The majestic city gates stood proudly, towering above all.
Every day, numerous cultivators from Immortal Domain gathered here, seeking to hone their skills or venture into the Boundless Battlefield in search of opportunities. Naturally, none of them dared to venture too deep. Although the outskirts had already been thoroughly explored by various Forces, there remained a lingering hope of discovering something yet unseen.
