This place could be described as the true border of the Immortal Domain. One could truly hear the rumbling sound from the ancient world’s immense pressure, capable of subduing everything in its wake.
Ancient forts, equipped with dazzling ancient runes, stood resolutely, bravely withstanding the terrifying power of the Boundless Fallen Ocean.
The figures floating above them in the sky hailed from great Immortal King Families from the Immortal Domain. Their duty was to safeguard this place, monitoring the situation on the other side of the Boundless Fallen Ocean.
As the Dark Tide crashed upon the shores, fragments of supreme treasures were swept along, mixed in the tides of destroyed ancient worlds. These boundless and relentless waves surged and crashed. It was ironic that they could safely look at these supreme treasures that were once powerful enough to easily pulverize an Immortal King when they were still intact.
From another perspective, it was reminiscent of how terrible the Great War Against Heaven was back then. These Artifacts were really shattered, scattered across the Boundless Fallen Ocean and carried to distant corners by these tides.
If these fragments were washed ashore, it would inevitably spark a frenzy among countless cultivators, all vying to claim them as their own. Yet, in the face of the surging tide, none dared to fight over them. It was not an exaggeration to say that even the Immortal Kings themselves lacked complete confidence to traverse the Boundless Fallen Ocean.
Among those tides, there might exist other formidable beings, whose physical bodies were being destroyed and cultivation was being crushed.
The Dark Tide crashed, accompanied by these fragments. Their mesmerizing brilliance was a spectacle to behold. News of this astonishing occurrence quickly reached the ears of those from the Immortal Domain. Many Immortal King Families promptly dispatched their men to investigate the matter.
Meanwhile, some other cultivators, who caught wind of this, hastened to join the pursuit of this extraordinary opportunity too.
In the past, those who acquired ancient legacies left behind in the Boundless Battlefield were able to condense their Dao Fruit and became an Immortal Kings. As a result, many aspired to follow in their footsteps. Thus, upon discovering the potential for such an opportunity, they were naturally drawn to this place.
“The emergence of the Dark Tide appears to be more than a mere coincidence. Someone is trying to cross it. This may be the root cause of the unsettling fluctuations…” Someone in the fort quietly remarked, as he peered into the situation of the Boundless Fallen Ocean through a peculiar Artifact. Unfortunately, his vision was limited, offering only a glimpse of what was ahead, far from being able to see the boundless expanse of the Boundless Fallen Ocean.
The figure next to him responded softly, “If that is really the case, there’s no way it would be overlooked by those in the Immortal Domain.”
Amidst the chaos and darkness of that area, an endless fog enveloped the surroundings. Despite the chaos, a radiant Moon hung high above, as if it was bestowing tranquillity upon the Boundless Fallen Ocean beneath it.
The appearance of this Moon above the Boundless Fallen Ocean was a truly awe-inspiring and mesmerizing sight to behold. Cultivators wondered if it was influencing the ebb and flow of the Dark Tide crashing against the embankment. If one could ignore the overwhelming terror that lurked within the Boundless Fallen Ocean, they would find the radiant Moon strangely enchanting.
Queen Lunar appeared in the distance with a group of experts from her residence. Standing atop the colossal remains of an ancient beast resembling a majestic mountain peak, she gazed at the radiant Moon while her dress and her flowing hair elegantly danced in the wind.
“If that is truly the Land of Reincarnation, does that mean there’s potentially another ancient world akin to Immortal Domain being nurtured beyond the Boundless Fallen Ocean?” Queen Lunar knitted her beautiful eyebrows together, unable to suppress her own thoughts on the matter.
She could not help to speculate this way because it had been too long since individuals of exceptional talent were born in the Immortal Domain. [If reincarnation truly exist, what had become of those legendary figures in the past? Did they truly die?]
Even people as powerful as Immortal Kings could preserve a fragment of their Soul to ensure their survival. It was unfathomable to think that such powerful beings from those bygone eras would not have done the same.
With that thought in mind, she gracefully glided towards the forts that lay ahead. As she drew nearer, the figures within materialized one after another to greet her. The strength of the experts guarding this place was less than that of True Immortals, with the most powerful among them standing just half a step away from reaching the Immortal King Realm.
It was not feasible for a True Immortal King to linger around this place, as the Principles of the Boundless Battlefield were shattered and were incomplete here.
The evil spirits that had accumulated over the years had the ability to suppress even the Immortal King, negatively affecting their cultivation.
Moreover, peculiar creatures would occasionally emerge from the Boundless Fallen Ocean and ambush this place. An Immortal King once had to resort to a drastic measure of severing his own Dao Fruit and descending to a lower cultivation, solely to preserve his own life. As a result, the Immortal Kings who came to this place after that incident were a lot more cautious, refusing to set foot in this treacherous territory without careful deliberation.
The overwhelming pressure from the Boundless Fallen Ocean could be clearly felt from the vicinity where the forts stood. Queen Lunar pondered for a moment before instructing her men to wait there.
With a graceful leap, she took flight and soared through the air towards the embankment. This was the second time she had approached it. The sky rumbled ominously due to the sheer suppressing force in the surroundings. Her face was a little pale, but the veil she was wearing perfectly masked her uneasiness.
Queen Lunar furrowed her brow and murmured to herself, “I never imagined that since my last visit, the situation here would worsen by nearly a thousandfold…”
Despite still being some distance away from the embankment, an overwhelming sense of suffocation hung in the air, threatening to crush her body. It was only thanks to the Protection Arrays at the forts that she was able to approach at all.
“I took nearly a hundred steps on my last attempt. Although I didn’t manage to reach the embankment that time, it wasn’t that far away… I can’t even make thirty steps this time.” Queen Lunar was frustrated. Although she did not make that much progress in her cultivation, she could not even achieve half of what she could before.
The existence of the embankment was shrouded in mystery, and even Queen Lunar did not know of its true origin. Throughout history, only a few Immortal Kings had managed to reach there.
While crossing the Boundless Fallen Ocean required the strength of an Immortal King, the presence of the embankment prevented even them from getting close to the Boundless Fallen Ocean. No one had ever truly attempted crossing it.
Nevertheless, from Queen Lunar’s vantage point, she could still catch a glimpse beyond the embankment. When the tide receded, faint footprints of once formidable supreme experts could be seen on the expanse of sand and pebbles.
“I’m surprised that someone like Queen Lunar can only get this far,” those in the forts whispered in surprise. They could only take a few steps before they felt their bodies give way, unable to withstand the overpowering aura coming from the embankment.
Queen Lunar actually managed to take about thirty steps, but the look on her face suggested that it was probably as far as she could go.
Queen Lunar’s beautiful face was now marred by an uncertain expression. She attempted once more, only to discover that the oppressive force ahead was indeed much stronger than before.
Frustration crept in as she recalled her determination to investigate the mysterious Moon before leaving her residence. The outcome of this investigation held the key to her worth in the eyes of Gu Changge.
“I knew this wouldn’t be so easy…” Queen Lunar paused briefly before steeling herself as she took out her Immortal King Grade Artifact. The jade belt turned into an ethereal mist that enveloped her like a protective barrier, as she bravely pressed forward amidst the overwhelming pressure.
