A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 621 Emperor: Surprised?

At the forefront of the long river of time, within the [Spirit Realm].

One by one, the immortal kings, who were either chatting or discussing the Dao, suddenly realized that something was wrong.

More than two thousand gazes, following a sudden impulse, were cast toward the depths of the [Spirit Realm], a place even the Emperor Light Immortal King could hardly reach, sensing the increasingly unsettling vibrations.

Yunlong activated his Immortal King Technique to suppress the growing unease in his heart, and murmured softly, "What's happening deep within the [Spirit Realm] that has caused such a terrifying commotion? Even the structure supporting the entire [Spirit Realm] is shaking slightly."

Qi Jing's expression changed slightly. "The purification laws I cultivate show obvious rejection to this slight tremor. It's as if a dark source has appeared deep within the Spirit Realm, constantly approaching us, and there's a terrifying sense that it's about to corrupt all the heavens and myriad worlds."

A faint imperial light flashed in Jin Feng's eyes. After a few breaths of contemplation, he also said, "I also have a subtle feeling that I am about to come into contact with something ominous. As you all know, I was resurrected after being corrupted by dark matter after entering the domain of giants."

“There must have been some terrifying changes deep within the Spirit Realm, and these changes involve dark matter and dark creatures.”

Having been devoured by the dark matter, he understood the terror it contained better than the other Immortal Kings. Therefore, without hesitation, he immediately took out an Immortal King artifact that emitted a faint imperial light and carried a thick spiritual substance, used for deduction. He directly activated a divination-type Immortal King technique, tracing back along this special vibration in an attempt to find a clue.

However, even though Jin Feng's current King Realm power already possesses a trace of characteristics of a higher level and has given birth to a wisp of Emperor Light, he is ultimately not a being of that level and cannot explore the deeper layers of the [Spirit Realm].

His attempt failed.

However, this failure, which left no clue, also indirectly reflects one of the reasons for the tremors emanating from the deepest part of the [spirit world].

Jin Feng's expression turned solemn. "The tremors that reverberate from the depths of the Spirit Realm to our current location possess a higher level of power. When I used a Celestial King artifact with a faint imperial light to deduce it, it was almost equivalent to a King-level being infinitely close to the supreme level trying to explore the mysteries of a Quasi-Celestial Emperor."

“Under such circumstances, although the cause and effect at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level is still impossible to discern, a considerable amount of fragmented information related to it should be able to be collected. However, just now, I was unable to detect even a trace of information, which means that the cause of the tremor may have come from a supreme Dao Ancestor, or perhaps, an Immortal Emperor.”

The more than two thousand King Realm experts who had been paying close attention to the discussion within the small circle of Emperor Light Immortal King were instantly shaken, causing the scene to gradually quiet down.

The inexplicable tremors emanating from the depths of the Spirit Realm were so strong that they caused the Immortal King Qilin's Immortal King Laws to repel them. The Immortal King Jinfeng was unable to calculate the source of the tremors, which was almost a clear indication to all the kings that there were living, supreme beings or dark beings at the end of the path who were invading the myriad realms.

All the Celestial Kings present tensed up, and various speculations arose in their minds.

At this moment, Li Xiang spoke up, “Rest assured, everyone, the Spirit Realm that covers the Chaos and the Boundary Sea is something left behind by the Emperor and the Xuanhuang Heavenly Venerable. It is an important barrier that isolates darkness and misfortune. Even if an Immortal Emperor were to come, it would not be something that can be breached in a short time.”

He remained calm. “Moreover, as you all know, the isolation mechanism of the spirit world becomes more stringent the closer it gets to reality. Conversely, the deeper you go, the more bizarre, fantastical, and chaotic it becomes.”

"Therefore, even if a dark source appears deep within the [Spirit Realm], the corresponding dark matter would need to overcome numerous obstacles to reach our location, which would take a considerable amount of time, enough for us to make more preparations."

Of course, there was another reason that Li Xiang didn't mention: he knew a certain Celestial Venerable too well.

If there were truly an insurmountable calamity, and if there were no way to resist, this senior uncle would definitely run away quickly and make all the necessary arrangements. The fact that he hasn't given any spiritual premonition or any relevant guidance on his destiny indicates that the situation is still under control, and that he intends to use it to carry out some kind of calculation.

Li Xiang remained expressionless, but murmured to herself, "I wonder which Supreme Being was tricked by my Martial Uncle. Hmm, his identity is not important now, but it will be very difficult for him to climb out of this abyss in the future."

Immediately afterwards, his gaze fell upon the deepest part of the [Spirit Realm] that his own eyes could reach, silently sensing the changes within it. "A Celestial Emperor has filled in the gap. The [Spirit Realm] should undergo some special changes in the future. I just don't know the scope of the impact, or whether it will involve the King Realm."

Seeing the Immortal King of Annihilation's calm expression, the many King Realm beings gradually returned to normal. However, like him, they began to cast their gazes into the depths of the Spirit Realm, reaching the farthest point they could reach, and silently waited together.
-
Within the Heavenly Court, which was almost completely shattered.

The Dark Immortal Emperor of the Four Extremes Floating Earth looked at the Emperor's illusory figure so close at hand, revealed a cold smile, and with the Immortal Emperor's Law, raised his hand and pressed it towards the core of the Immortal Emperor's Grand Array.

With a flick of the wrist, the divine chains formed by the laws of the Great Dao shattered, countless concepts vanished into oblivion, and countless orders and common sense were overturned. The dark matter originating from the highest point of the road quietly merged into it, aiming to completely destroy this formation that was already incomplete to the extreme.

"Rumble"

One by one, the array patterns began to break open, the core of the great array began to collapse, and the cracks that had appeared in the entire [Heavenly Court] began to disintegrate again. The "Dao" and "Dharma" that had been shielded and were imperceptible, along with the "barrier" that was gradually and almost completely broken, were reflected into the [Heavenly Court] and perceived by the Dark Immortal Emperor of the Four Extremes Floating Earth.

"Your Majesty, you can't stop me anymore. I have already explored the Dao and Law of the Boundary Sea, and it can no longer block my power!"

"The destruction of all realms and worlds will occur today!"

The Dark Immortal Emperor of the Four Extremes Floating Earth, seeing the lingering phantom of the Emperor, roared loudly and burned his own ultimate source once again, piling up his battle power once more, unleashing an almost desperate attack that completely shattered the core of the Immortal Emperor's Grand Array suppressed by the Heavenly Court, tearing apart the barrier that had hindered him for millions of years!

Without hesitation, and ignoring the gradually collapsing magnificent Heavenly Palace, this Dark Immortal Emperor from the Four Extremes Floating Land immediately crossed the boundary that had previously blocked him, stepping out of the Heavenly Court, where the array patterns that still shielded his senses remained.

"This is not the Boundary Sea!"

The Dark Immortal Emperor of the Four Extremes Floating Earth looked at the "ocean" that was so chaotic that it was almost illogical, with no concept or even a realm of heaven or earth beneath him, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.

"My power is bound by the environment! How could such a chaotic environment exist in this world, where even time and cause and effect have almost lost their meaning! This is illogical and does not conform to the logic of the evolution of all things!"

The Dark Immortal Emperor's pupils contracted slightly. He abruptly turned back to look at the Heavenly Court he had stepped out of, and frantically ran back. However, he could see the afterimage of the Heavenly Court, but he couldn't get close to it at all. He could only see the Emperor's phantom in the distance, which revealed an extremely mocking smile to him.

The next instant, the countless structures of the Heavenly Court collapsed into ruins, becoming nothing but a fleeting dream. Not a trace remained on this chaotic "ocean," as if what had just appeared was merely an illusion. "Emperor!"

The Dark Immortal Emperor from the Four Extremes Floating Land roared loudly, his surroundings fluctuating wildly with all the laws, creating terrifying waves on this chaotic "ocean," directly attracting a small "bubble" floating on this "ocean," radiating brilliant colors, which watched with curiosity.

"Pfft."

Knowing that he had been tricked by the Emperor and banished to an unknown place, the Dark Immortal Emperor was extremely annoyed when he noticed this curious gaze. He raised his hand, grabbed the "little bubble," and casually extinguished it.

"Damn Emperor, when did he lay this trap?!"

"In such a chaotic environment, finding a way back to the Boundary Sea, even if it leads to the highest point, would take a considerable amount of time. More likely, I will be completely trapped here!"

"This is absolutely a death trap, like a bridge between life and death!"

Suddenly, a chill ran through his heart, making the Dark Immortal Emperor's expression solemn as he looked up at the far distance of this chaotic "ocean".

There, one "little bubble" after another emerged, floating in with wave after wave of "waves," almost endless. Even the highest level of the road could not predict the exact number. More importantly, under the accumulation of this terrifying number, an aura of beings from the same end of the road began to gradually crush him, carrying a strong hostility.

The Dark Immortal Emperor of the Four Extremes Floating Land subtly changed color. His power was limited by the chaotic environment, and the Immortal Emperor's Law on his body could not unleash stronger power with the help of the orderly myriad paths. The Immortal Emperor's origin in his body was also used up too much when breaking the Immortal Emperor's Grand Formation. Destroying a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was not a big problem, but he would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage when fighting against someone of the same realm.

"Damn Emperor!"

This Dark Immortal Emperor of the Four Extremes Floating Earth, dragging his slightly weakened imperial body, began to engage in a conceptual collision with the unknown "bubble" in front of him, stirring up surging yet rapidly annihilating waves in this chaotic "ocean".

A series of bizarre and incoherent murmurs echoed in the mind of this Dark Immortal Emperor. The information, devoid of any logic or order, exploded like bombs in the deepest part of his soul, almost causing him to lose his mind and succumb to chaos.

In the blink of an eye, without any surprise, he found himself at a complete disadvantage.

The Dark Immortal Emperor of the Four Extremes Floating Earth had a slightly ferocious expression, but he still lowered his posture and growled, "Fellow Daoist, I think there's a misunderstanding here. We don't need to fight; we can talk."

The endless murmurs emanating from the "bubbles" became even more terrifying, surging towards the Dark Immortal Emperor almost violently. Each "bubble" was like a giant mouth, constantly gnawing at his Immortal Emperor Laws, as if trying to completely disintegrate him and take all those things that could eternally exist in the "Dao" and "Dharma" for itself.

The Dark Immortal Emperor's face turned ashen. "This is a being devoid of any reason, completely insane?!"

"Where have I been exiled to?!"

"Emperor!"

The roar of the Dark Immortal Emperor of the Four Extremes Floating Earth echoed in the chaotic "ocean," only to be quickly submerged in one dazzling "bubble" after another.
-
At the forefront of the long river of time.

The Dark Immortal Emperor from the Ancient Underworld, who was engaged in a battle of attrition with the Emperor, was stunned.

His already dry eyes showed an expression of disbelief as he stared straight at the location of the Heavenly Court. The Dark Immortal Emperor, who was watching the Four Extremes Floating Earth, suddenly disappeared at the current point in time, his fate and cause and effect severed, as if this supreme being had never existed at all.

"What's going on? Wasn't the Heavenly Court already breached? Why hasn't this damned barrier disappeared yet, and why has another battle-hardened expert fallen into its trap?!"

"Your Majesty, what have you done?!"

The Dark Immortal Emperor from the ancient underworld roared at the Emperor on the dam, and the already heavy corpse energy became even more violent, causing the exceptionally surging dark army to gradually become more ferocious.

In response, the Emperor reached out and expanded the river of time in front of him once more, pulling out even more historical projections.

He looked at the furious and shocked Dark Immortal Emperor of the Ancient Underworld and said with a smile, "That's right, the Heavenly Court has been breached, but who told you that after the Heavenly Court was breached, the 'barrier' blocking you would definitely dissipate and the Immortal Emperor's Grand Formation would definitely collapse completely?"

The Emperor said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist, within an array, there are dual array eyes, or even multiple array eyes, and there are even grand arrays with arrays within arrays. You don't actually believe that what's blocking the construction of this 'barrier' is just a single Immortal Emperor Grand Array, do you?"

The Dark Immortal Emperor of the Ancient Underworld paled. "You've only attained the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit for tens of thousands of years at most. How do you possess the resources to set up such a grand Immortal Emperor formation?!"

The Emperor's smile widened, and he said, "Although setting up a Celestial Emperor Array with multiple array eyes and arrays within arrays is very challenging for me, as long as there is a possibility of success, it will be possible to achieve it over countless years."

"I am the Heavenly Emperor who has attained the Dao Fruit of the Immortal Emperor through the test of time!"

His true self in the "Wilderness World" did not waste his time. He had completely mastered and integrated all the "Dao" related to array formations, such as the Supreme Ultimate Array Dao, the Supreme Ultimate Deduction Dao, and the Supreme Ultimate Talisman Dao, into his "Supreme Ultimate Chaos Dao" before attempting to use the Sacrifice Dao.

The "Chaos Dao Fruit," condensed from the "Supreme Ultimate Chaos Dao," may be slightly less powerful than the "Wilderness World" in various "worlds," but it still allows for unimpeded movement. With repeated enhancements, it can elevate one's combat strength to the level of a "Great Tyrannosaurus."

Therefore, even though the "Time-Brightness Technique" had not yet established a firm foothold in the End of the Road Domain, it would have been incredibly easy for it to set up several more Immortal Emperor formations without the four Dark Immortal Emperors being able to detect it.

With a bright smile, the Emperor addressed the Dark Immortal Emperor of the Ancient Underworld, "Of the four Dark Immortal Emperors, only the two of you remain now. Aren't you surprised?"
