Everyone faces a choice: to return and guard the heavens, or to continue moving forward and approach the other side.
In the end, the vast majority of creatures chose the latter, because many people pessimistically believed that the heavens were beyond salvation, and even if they turned around immediately, it would be too late and they would not be able to catch up with the Ancient Palace of Reception.
However, the boundary sea is vast and immeasurable. Even the ancient palace of guidance that can teleport cannot cross the boundary sea in a short period of time.
Unless countless ancient welcoming palaces come together to form a passage across the boundary sea, even the welcoming ancient palaces have to be crossed bit by bit, and there is no shortcut at all.
With the speed of the Jieying Ancient Palace, it would be impossible to cross the boundary sea without more than 100,000 or 200,000 years.
Compared to ordinary Immortal Kings or powerful giants, this speed is extremely fast. No Immortal King-level creature can catch up with it, let alone get close to it.
This is true even for the butcher and others. Even if they start their journey back now, it will still take a lot of time to get through.
The three of them only hope that the heavens and myriad worlds can hold on until they return. With three supreme giants taking action, the crisis in the heavens will be resolved.
“It is hard to imagine what it would be like if more than a dozen ancient Jieying Palaces attacked together. Back then, when the emperor fell, my ancestors shot down one, and they paid a heavy price for it.
Facing the surging dark army, even the supreme giants are not enough, they will be drowned in the end." The butcher sighed.
"Brothers, how confident are you that you two can defeat the king and become the emperor?" asked the chicken farmer.
The butcher and the fake medicine seller looked at each other and said in unison, "Not even a cent."
Defeating a king and becoming an emperor, this has been the long-cherished wish of countless Immortal Kings since the endless epochs. Countless legendary Immortal Kings died on this path, or died for it.
Throughout the ages, most of the creatures who tried to break through the king realm died. They could not withstand the backlash and died. Even if they did not die, they were seriously injured.
The three did not dare to gamble. Although they had intended to attack, they did not dare to do so at this time. The heavens and myriad worlds needed their support. If they failed in the attack at this time, it would mean the loss of combat effectiveness, or even direct death.
Without exception, they have all attacked that legendary supreme realm and survived by chance, and they know the horror of backlash.
Therefore, at this moment, the three of them could not afford to take risks, even though they had accumulated a lot of experience and prepared for this for many epochs.
"Let's fight our way back first and lift the siege of the heavens before we think about defeating the king." The butcher sighed.
The chicken farmers and the fake medicine sellers all nodded and agreed.
"I hope the Immortal Realm and the Primitive Ancient Realm can hold on. When we fight our way back, these two realms and the Burial Realm will be able to support each other. Even if the Great Reckoning comes, we will be safe and sound."
Although the origins of the burial domain and the foreign domain are similar and both were created by ancient artifacts, compared to the foreign domain, the burial domain is an existence that can be attracted.
With reputation, strength, and name all over the Burial Domain, it is not difficult for the chicken farmer to pull the Burial Domain to the Light Camp, which is of great significance to the Light Camp.
After the three of them reached an agreement, they began to fly at full speed, constantly using the natural teleportation array above the boundary sea to shorten the distance. On the way, they met many Immortal Kings, some of whom were devoted to light, some were corrupt and bloodthirsty, and some were both good and evil. However, without exception, all the Immortal Kings took the initiative to stay away and did not dare to step forward to provoke them.
When the three supreme giants walk together, anyone who is blind enough to come up and provoke them will have lived enough.
……
Time passed slowly, and 150,000 years passed in a flash. During this period of time, the heavens and all worlds have been peaceful, and no major wars have occurred.
In the border areas where the foreign lands border the primitive ancient world, such as the heavenly realms like Da Dao Tian, small-scale wars rarely occur, or almost never occur.
In the two great realms, the strongest ones are in seclusion recuperating from their injuries, while the creatures below the king are resting and recuperating.
Chapter 356: The Peak?
Fifteen thousand years of recuperation allowed the foreign land to recover. The huge gap caused by the supreme beings and human beings who died in the war that year was filled, and it returned to its prosperous state. As for the immortals, some of them also recovered, but the time was too short and the number of recovered ones was limited.
As for the Immortal King, even if the foreign land does not launch a world war for ten epochs, he cannot make up for the losses in that war.
Moreover, fifteen thousand years is too short for an existence of the Immortal King's level, and the injuries of many Immortal Kings are still not optimistic.
Those creatures that survived the siege on Gu Wudi all suffered horrific origin injuries without exception. If there were no external interference, it would take at least half an era for them to recover.
The giants had no plans to come out, and their injuries had not yet recovered.
Given the current situation in the foreign land, even if they wanted to launch a large-scale world war, they do not have the strength and foundation to do so.
After all, we still have to guard against enemies in the sea boundary and prepare for the great reckoning.
On the other hand, in the primitive ancient world, ever since the new Qi refining system came into being and was passed down, the thirty-three vast sky realms of the primitive ancient world have ushered in an indescribable golden age, with geniuses emerging like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
As the first group of creatures to embark on this path besides the founders, many young geniuses soared to the sky. Some have already successfully created the world and opened up countless worlds within their bodies. They are extremely powerful and unimaginable.
The Second in the World is the best among them. In order to impact the realm of giants, he resolutely abandoned the Dao fruit of his previous life's supreme immortal king and turned it into the supreme Dao foundation of this life. The terrifying foundation made him invincible and unstoppable. He strode forward in the Qi Refining system and always stood in the forefront.
Although some of the other young geniuses have outstanding talents and abilities, they are still not as good as a top immortal king who has achieved nirvana and is cultivating again.
Therefore, the Second in the World became the first creature to reach the realm of Kaitian, that is, the immortal creature, besides the founder Gu Wudi.
Moreover, following the second in the world, there were more than twenty creatures who broke through to the Kaitian realm.
In just 150,000 years, more than twenty true immortals appeared in this system. This ratio is really terrifying.
You know, in other big realms, such as the fairyland, foreign realm, etc., in the same period of time, only a single-digit number of supreme beings went one step further and broke through to the realm of immortality or immortality.
As for the primitive ancient world, more than twenty creatures in the Kaitian realm have emerged from the Qi Refining system alone. This kind of blowout is quite amazing. As time goes by, this momentum may be difficult to maintain. However, the primitive ancient world is relying on this new system to quickly restore the number of True Immortal cultivators and make up for the vacancies caused by the war.
In comparison, the sacrificial spirit system and the Tao seed system are much more conventional, and together they have only produced three true immortals.
Of course, the boom brought about by the Qi Refining System is also related to the war between the two worlds that took place 150,000 years ago.
The resources of heaven and earth are limited. In the fairyland, one universe can support one true immortal. The same is true for the primitive ancient world.
In addition to the explosive increase in the number of cultivators in the Kaitian Realm, the number of creatures in the Hedao Realm is countless and numerous.
The emergence of a spiritual practice system that breaks down class rigidity was like opening a Pandora's box, and it was out of control.
This golden age was absolutely phenomenal and it will be difficult to reproduce it in later generations.
Against this background, the forces and territories of the Thirty-three Heavens have all undergone a major reshuffle. The ancient sects, families, etc. have suffered unprecedented shocks. Many ancient forces that have lasted for more than a dozen epochs are even in decline. Of course, the decline of old forces means the rise of emerging forces. In short, the primitive ancient world has undergone a major change.
If the original thirty-three days of the primitive ancient world were like a stagnant pool of water with rigid classes, then today's primitive ancient world is a vast ocean. The Qi Refining System has injected unimaginable vitality into this ancient world.
Moreover, the war of that year endowed the creatures in this world with extraordinary cohesion. The good atmosphere of cultivation coupled with fierce competition made the primitive ancient world prosper and be on the right track.
However, this cannot cover up the huge hole caused by the lack of top combat power in the primitive ancient world.
Three of the Ten Evils, two of the Seven Border Kings, and two Immortal King-level Heavenly Lords, a total of seven Immortal Kings, died in battle forever 150,000 years ago. Except for the Immortal Kings who died in battle, the other surviving Immortal Kings were also seriously injured and fell into deep seclusion. Even the second-best Immortal King in the world went straight into Nirvana and started over, which meant that the primitive ancient world had lost another top Immortal King.
The absence of the Eight Immortal Kings, and the seclusion of many Immortal Kings in their life and death retreats… the primitive ancient world at this moment can be said to be the weakest moment in history. The reason why it can still stand, and no one dared to invade for 150,000 years, is because of the rise of the giant Gu Wudi.
In that battle, he made a great name for himself. He turned the tide of the battle alone and pulled the primitive ancient world out of the abyss of failure and destruction.
He killed Tuntian, suppressed the Red King, slashed Kundi, and defeated Wushang. His name had already spread throughout the heavens and myriad worlds. Even in the Burial Realm, which had been drowsy and immersed in dreams, his fame was heard everywhere.
In this situation, as long as Gu Wudi sits in the original ancient world, no one will dare to provoke him, as that would be tantamount to seeking death. It can be said that he alone supports the entire world.
However, as long as you are still in the Immortal King realm, you can't be truly invincible. Two fists cannot beat four hands. No matter how strong a person's power is, it is ultimately limited.
The primitive ancient world needs the birth of a new Immortal King to fill the gap caused by the war. It is impossible to rely on Gu Wudi alone to support it.
On this day, the peaceful ancient world suddenly changed, and a huge pressure descended upon the world, along with a terrifying aura of punishment, which was so vast and boundless that it made people change color with rage.
"The Immortal King's Tribulation! After tens of thousands of years, a new Immortal King will be born in our world!" Within the Thirty-three Heavens, many creatures whispered excitedly and looked towards the source of the pressure.
That is the direction of Da Dao Tian, located at the border between the primitive ancient world and foreign lands.
Da Dao Tian has been a treasure land with outstanding people and powerful men since ancient times. There are only more than twenty immortal kings left in the primitive ancient world. On average, there are not enough to be divided in the thirty-three heavenly realms. However, Da Dao Tian alone accounts for seven of them. From this, one can imagine the extraordinary nature of this heavenly realm.
Today, this legendary realm of heaven is once again experiencing the fluctuations of the Immortal King's calamity, which is truly shocking.
The creatures of the ancient world are all speculating on the identity of the immortal king who has achieved enlightenment. Some say that it is the descendants of the fallen Dragon King and King Mu who worked hard to break free from their shackles and achieve enlightenment against the will of heaven. Others say that it is the transcendent quasi-immortal kings of the Dao Heaven...
Only a few of the most powerful creatures knew that the Immortal King who had attained enlightenment was related to the Invincible Immortal King. He had shown up during the restoration of the Thirty-three Days, following behind Gu Wudi.
At that time, he was already very close to achieving the status of Immortal King. He had the conditions to make the breakthrough, and the possibility of success was not small. Even so, he still accumulated energy for 150,000 years and waited until today to start his journey to make the breakthrough.
"Guchuan? The subordinates that Fellow Daoist Gu recruited in the Sea of Realm are actually about to become Immortal Kings. Judging from their auras, their chances of success are quite high. Both their bodies and their souls are impeccable. It seems that our world will have one more Immortal King-level powerful person." An Immortal King who was healing his wounds opened his eyes, looked in the direction where the Immortal King calamity broke out, and said to himself.
More than one Immortal King was awakened. They had set up magic arrays before going into seclusion. Once there was an Immortal King-level fluctuation in the outside world, they would be able to know about it. This was one of the means to deal with sudden wars.
In the central sky, under the World Tree, in a forbidden area, a creature that was sitting cross-legged and shrouded in a hazy state suddenly moved. In the chaotic mist, a pair of blazing eyes suddenly opened, emitting the brilliant light of the avenue, as if two golden ancient lamps were lit.
When the quasi-immortal king who was in charge of guarding the World Tree saw this scene, he couldn't help but tremble all over, his eyes became a little dazed, and he was frightened by the mighty power.
He opened his mouth and looked towards the World Tree, so shocked that he was speechless.
It has been 150,000 years, and the news that the Invincible Immortal King has been in seclusion in that area is no longer a secret. Every creature who comes to guard the World Tree Altar knows about it. They are all very cautious for fear of disturbing the Invincible Immortal King's seclusion, and they also worship the vague figure inside with respect and piety.
After so many years, the place has always been peaceful, with no sound coming from it. The Invincible Immortal King was like an eternal stone statue, motionless. Unexpectedly, today, this legendary giant moved and opened his eyes.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the endless chaotic mist was dispelled, the so-called forbidden area no longer existed, and a slender figure stood up and walked out.
He is tall and handsome, with loose black hair. The light of the Tao shines in his eyes, as deep as the sea. A single look from him can send all living beings to reincarnation. His Taoist robes move without wind, and every move he makes is filled with great majesty, intimidating the world.
"Greetings to the Invincible Immortal King..."
The quasi-immortal king was both excited and a little frightened, fearing that he had disturbed the Invincible Immortal King and lured him out of retreat.
Gu Wudi glanced at the quasi-immortal king who was feeling uneasy in front of him, nodded slightly, gave him a few words of encouragement, and then walked away into the sky.
The quasi-immortal king under the World Tree was very excited. He felt like he was dreaming. He actually received guidance from the Invincible Immortal King.
In the Daotian, a sparsely populated area in the deep space of the universe, a tall and majestic figure stands. The calamity of the Immortal King has already arrived. Endless symbols of the Dao are pouring in from all directions, imprinting on his body, and are about to destroy him.
This is Gu Chuan, a quasi-immortal king who has been wandering in the sea of boundaries for many epochs. He was captured by others accidentally and was later rescued by Gu Wudi. He then pledged allegiance to Gu Wudi and became his subordinate.
The accumulation of many eras has given him the foundation to become a king, and now it has all burst out.
In the past, in the present, all the various rules and the order of heaven and earth that have ever existed crushed and judged him.
Furukawa was in trouble, covered in blood, it was a tragic scene.
This is only the calamity of the physical body, there is the more terrifying calamity of the soul behind it, which is the key to becoming an Immortal King. Ninety-nine percent of living beings fall in the calamity of the soul and die.
In the distance, a figure in white clothes stood with his hands behind his back, looking over here with a solemn expression. Beside him stood several living beings, both men and women, all watching Gu Chuan transcending the tribulation.
Qingyue, Biyu, two Taoist boys, and Gu Duche from the Fairyland’s golden bloodline family were all there.
"Master, Fellow Daoist Guchuan seems to be in trouble. With his accumulation, is it difficult for him to pass the Immortal King Tribulation?" Dugu Che asked worriedly.
The Lord of the White Forbidden Zone shook his head and replied, "It's still too early. When he first came to this world, he had the conditions to achieve enlightenment. Even so, he still endured for 150,000 years. How could he fail so easily?"
Suddenly, a figure walked out of the void, and no one noticed it. Even the master of the restricted area did not notice it at first.
He showed a look of surprise and looked at Gu Wudi who suddenly appeared with shock.
You know, he was a giant when he was alive. Even if only obsession was left, it would not be so easy to approach him silently.
Gu Wudi did it, but the Lord of the restricted area didn’t realize it until he got close to him.
"Invincible? Now you are even more unfathomable than you were 150,000 years ago. You give people a feeling of being as vast as the ocean. Could it be that you have reached the top of the Immortal King realm and are standing at the pinnacle?" The Lord of the Forbidden Zone asked in surprise.
