Stealing Heaven Escape, Treasure Trove Belongs to Its Master
The residual force of the shattered Profound Yellow Mother Pearl swept across the starry sky like a raging sea. The golden light of the Emperor Dao Origin collided and tore at the deep yellow turbid waves of Profound Yellow Qi, transforming into twisted Energy Turbulence. Wherever it passed, the void was ground into countless honeycomb-like holes, from which tiny arcs of spatial electricity occasionally burst forth, crackling and hissing. Star Fragments spun like duckweed in the turbulence, and the frost and rock layers that had formed on their surfaces peeled away layer by layer under the Energy Impact, instantly shredded into dust, leaving not even a trace of energy fluctuation. Ren Xiaoyao was surrounded by golden, purple, and cyan Dao power. Like three surging Star River encircling his body, the flow of Dao power isolated the surrounding turbulent Energy Turbulence, forming a clearly defined vacuum zone. The Chaos Sword Embryo hummed and trembled in his palm, the remaining fragments of the Profound Yellow Mother Pearl on the blade shimmering with a faint yellow light, but under the burning of the three-colored Dao power, they sizzled and melted, turning into wisps of green smoke. His gaze was like a cold star in the nine heavens, sharp enough to pierce through the Space Barrier, locking onto the staggering Profound Heaven Great Emperor. His killing intent solidified as if it were a tangible substance, transforming into countless invisible small swords that hovered beside him, causing the surrounding Energy Turbulence to freeze.
"Old man Xuantian, you trapped me for three months with the Myriad Heavens Profound Yellow Formation, drew upon the Profound Yellow Mother Qi to devour my soul, shattered my Dao Foundation with the Stellar Power, and even attempted to refine my Primordial Chaos Origin with the Profound Yellow Mother Pearl! Today, I will use your billions of years of Emperor Blood to sacrifice to my Primordial Chaos Dao Path, strengthen the Great Dao Divine Might, and let you taste the bitterness of Soul Annihilation!"
Ren Xiaoyao's roar was like an ancient thunderclap, shaking the entire starry sky. Wherever the sound waves passed, the Energy Turbulence were shattered, turning into specks of Light Spots. Before his words even finished, he pushed his <Primordial Chaos Steps> to its limit. The footwork was profound, each step seemingly transcending the boundaries of time and space. His figure transformed into a Tricolor Streamer that pierced through heaven and earth, Teleport traversing tens of thousands of miles of void, leaving a long trail of light. Where the light trail dissipated, a faint trace of primordial chaos Primordial Chaos Dao Charm remained. On the Chaos Sword Embryo, golden, purple, and cyan Daoist power frantically converged, and a sword shadow ten thousand feet long suddenly condensed, as if the heavens World Creation. The Giant Axe Sword Aura, its edges gleaming with the cold light of Law Fragments, carried both the scorching heat of Heaven-Burning Emperor Formation and earth and the boundless vastness of Primordial Chaos. These two extreme powers intertwined, forming an invincible force that crashed down upon the Profound Heaven Great Emperor's head. Before the Sword Aura even reached him, the void below was torn open into a bottomless, pitch-black chasm. Space Storm churned at the edges of the chasm, containing countless tiny Space Fragments that completely swallowed even light, creating absolute darkness. Those remaining Star Fragments instantly turned to ashes under the terrifying pressure of the sword, leaving not a trace behind.
The Profound Heaven Great Emperor had long lost his former majesty. His Emperor Dao Origin was in chaos, like a runaway horse, rampaging through his meridians. His meridians were breaking inch by inch, and golden Emperor Blood seeped from his pores, congealing into a thick scab on his skin. Beneath the scab, new Emperor Blood continued to gush forth. His Purple-Gold Emperor Robe was already tattered, Nine Dragons Totem embroidered on it, devoid of the nourishment of imperial power, had dulled scales and drooped its Dragon Head, as if utterly lifeless. He stared at the descending three-colored Sword Aura, his eyes... A wave of extreme terror washed over him, the shadow of death engulfing him like a tidal wave, chilling him to the bone. But he was, after all, Great Emperor had ruled the Immortal Realm for billions of years, having endured countless life-and-death tribulations, rising from humble beginnings to ascend the Great Emperor over the corpses of countless enemies. In his final moments, an astonishing will to survive erupted within him. His hands moved with unparalleled speed, forming profound hand Method Formula, golden Emperor Power surging between his fingers, outlining complex runes in the air. The runes shimmered with an eerie light, emanating an aura of time-reversal.
"The Way of Stealing Heaven, Reversing Time and Space, Deceiving the Heavenly Dao, Triple Reversal—Open it for me!"
The roar of the Profound Heaven Great Emperor was hoarse and shrill, like that of a wounded beast. The remaining Emperor Dao Origin within his body burned wildly like fuel, and golden flames erupted from his seven orifices, transforming into seven burning fire dragons that circled his body. The fire dragons roared and lunged at the surrounding Energy Turbulence, only to be instantly devoured. As the Method Formula was completed, three distinct layers of light suddenly appeared in the void around him, overlapping each other like three solid barriers, emanating a strange and powerful aura that enveloped him.
The first layer of light was a deep, dark black, like the darkest night sky, covered with countless "concealment" runes. Each rune was rapidly circulating, as if alive, emanating a strange power that isolated Heavenly Secrets and shielded perception. The moment the light screen unfolded, the aura of the Profound Heaven Great Emperor completely vanished, even his divine soul fluctuations were completely concealed, as if he had never existed, completely merging into the void itself. Ren Xiaoyao's Soul Perception swept over it like a tide, but he couldn't catch any trace of the other party. Only his naked eye could barely see that blurry figure, like the moon's reflection in water or a flower in a mirror, elusive and unpredictable.
The second layer of light curtain shimmered with a pale gray hue, swirling with the Principle "distortion." The surrounding Space Barrier trembled violently like waves, forming visible ripples that altered even the path of light. Ren Xiaoyao's three-colored Sword Aura, originally locked onto its target, was forced off course by several inches by the interference of the Principle of distortion, grazing the shoulder of the Profound Heaven Great Emperor and striking the void. With a deafening roar, the void instantly collapsed, forming a Black Hole a thousand miles in diameter. From within the Black Hole, howling waves of Chaos Current devoured the surrounding energy, even sucking in distant Star Fragments, which vanished instantly.
The third layer of light was pure gold, containing the essence of "escape." The moment the light barrier unfolded, the void in front shattered like glass, with fine cracks spreading rapidly, eventually forming a massive void rift. The depths of the rift were pitch black, from which came the howling of Chaos Current. It was Space Passage beyond the realm of the Immortal Realm, connecting to the unknown Depths of Chaos. The passage contained violent Chaos Power, enough to tear apart an ordinary Great Emperor realm expert.
"Ren Xiaoyao, I will remember this humiliation! Three thousand years from now, when I return from the Primordial Chaos, I will search through the three thousand great worlds and nine thousand Small World, collect the nine kinds of Power of Destroying Dao the Dao, and forge the Dao Destroying Divine Spear of Destruction. I will use your soul to refine the Ten Thousand Year Soul Lamp, burn your Primordial Chaos Dao Foundation, and ensure that you will never be reborn, sinking into endless suffering!"
The venomous roar of the Profound Heaven Great Emperor emanated from the light barrier, filled with piercing hatred, like a leech, sending chills down one's spine. Protected by the triple light barrier, his figure shot into the void rift like an arrow, his speed reaching its limit. The rift began to close rapidly the moment he entered, its edges gleaming with the cold light of spatial power, like sharp blades, constantly cutting through the surrounding energy. Seeing this, Ren Xiaoyao's killing intent intensified. With a flick of his wrist, a second three-colored Sword Aura condensed, more solid and domineering than before, slashing towards the rift with unparalleled power. But when the Sword Aura landed on the rift, it only stirred up a ripple before being completely swallowed up by the spatial power as the rift closed, without even causing a ripple.
"Trying to escape?" Ren Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed. He was about to unleash his Primordial Chaos Dao Power to tear through the void and pursue him when he discovered that the "Stealing Heaven" Principle remaining in the three layers of light curtains was extremely strange. Like a leech, it clung to the void rift, constantly interfering with his Space Perception and making it difficult for him to pinpoint the exact spatial coordinates. Where the void rift closed, there was no trace of the Profound Heaven Great Emperor, as if he had never appeared at all. Only the remaining "Stealing Heaven" Principle was slowly dissipating.
"Fine, I'll spare your life for now." Ren Xiaoyao sneered, retracting the Chaos Sword Embryo. The three-colored Dao power around him slowly receded, transforming back into three Star River encircling his body. "Once I refine your treasure vault, control your Emperor Dao Origin and Profound Yellow Mother Qi, and break through to the Supreme Realm, our next meeting will be your death day! At that time, I will make you taste the most painful punishments in the world, tearing out your tendons and skinning you, Soul Annihilation, making you pay a terrible price for what you did today!"
He knew that the Heaven Stealing Formation was a top-tier escape technique lost to time, created by an High Antiquity Ancient Great Power. It could reverse spacetime and deceive the Heavenly Dao. With its triple layering, it could not only conceal one's aura and distort space, but also tear through the void and escape into Primordial Chaos, making it impossible to track in a short time. Even his Primordial Chaos Dao Power could hardly penetrate the barrier of Primordial Chaos to find the Profound Heaven Great Emperor's whereabouts. His most urgent task was to seize the treasure trove that the Profound Heaven Great Emperor had cultivated for billions of years. The accumulated heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Cultivation Method Secret Manual, and Origin Power were the key to his breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm and his attempt to reach the Supreme Realm.
With a thought, Ren Xiaoyao's primordial Primordial Chaos Dao Power spread out like a tide, instantly covering the entire starry sky, spanning hundreds of millions of miles. His Soul Power spread along the Dao power, like a huge network, rapidly probing the location of the Profound Heaven Great Emperor's imperial palace. Soon, he locked onto the Nine Heavens Profound Realm Mystic Realm, the core area of the Immortal Realm—a colossal palace complex suspended above the nine heavens, surrounded by ninety-nine immortal mountains. Clouds and mist swirled above the immortal mountains, and Spirit Vein crisscrossed like giant dragons, radiating boundless Spiritual Qi that nourished the entire imperial palace. The treasure vault was hidden deep within the earth's veins, hundreds of millions of miles below the imperial palace. Using the Spirit Vein of the eighty-one immortal mountains as a natural barrier, it was covered with layers upon layers of defensive formations, totaling nine hundred and ninety-nine. Each formation was driven by the Emperor Dao Origin, possessing boundless power, complementing each other to form an indestructible defensive system.
But at this moment, the Profound Heaven Great Emperor was severely injured and fled, his Emperor Dao Origin leaking out in large quantities. The defensive formations had lost their core control, becoming like soulless puppets, their power reduced to less than one-tenth, and the connections between the formations had become loose. Ren Xiaoyao transformed into a streak of light, flying straight towards the Nine Heavens Profound Realm. The imperial palace guards he encountered along the way were terrified, their faces turning pale. These immortal soldiers Immortal General were all elites of the Immortal Realm, with the lowest cultivation level being the Golden Immortal, including many powerful figures at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal and Grand Unity Golden Immortal. However, in front of a powerhouse like Ren Xiaoyao who could severely injure Great Emperor, they were as fragile as ants. They all knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, not even daring to raise their heads, letting Ren Xiaoyao pass by without daring to obstruct him in the slightest, for fear of angering this fiend and suffering the fate of Soul Annihilation.
Stepping into the Imperial Palace, Ren Xiaoyao ignored the luxurious palace architecture. The palaces were paved with Thousand-Year Warm Jade, and the beams and pillars were cast in gold, inlaid with countless gems, radiating dazzling light, yet they held no interest for him. He flew straight down into the ground, his figure like a ghost, passing through layers of floor tiles as if traversing Void, encountering no hindrance whatsoever. Soon, he arrived before the defensive formation beneath the Imperial Palace. The first formation was the renowned "Nine Revolutions Emperor Slaying Formation," its array patterns flowing with golden Emperor Power, radiating unparalleled killing intent. Within the formation, countless phantom images of Emperor Weapon could be vaguely seen, wielding sharp blades, ready to charge out at any moment. Ren Xiaoyao raised his hand, and his three-colored Dao power transformed into thousands of runes, precisely embedding them into the array's core like keys. The Defense Light Barrier that had originally shimmered with golden light instantly dimmed under the erosion of the Primordial Chaos Dao Power, the array patterns shattering inch by inch, emitting a piercing sound, like breaking glass.
He strolled through the Nine Revolutions Emperor Slaying Formation as if walking in a garden, the array behind him collapsing with a roar, turning into dust and dissipating into the air. The next eighty defensive arrays, whether they were the "Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation" containing the Stellar Power and capable of invoking attacks from the stars of the heavens, the "Heaven Burning Formation" controlling the power of fire and capable of burning everything, or the "Profound Yellow Guardian Formation" with unparalleled defense and capable of withstanding the full force of Great Emperor Realm expert, were all no match for his Primordial Chaos Dao Power. Primordial Chaos Dao Power possessed both inclusive and Power of Destruction, domineering and incomparable. For these arrays that had lost their core control, it either forcibly assimilated the power of the array and made it its own to enhance its strength, or directly burned the array patterns with the Heaven Burning Sword Intent, disintegrating the foundation of the array and causing it to collapse completely. Ren Xiaoyao advanced unstoppable, as if entering an empty land, and soon passed through the barrier formed by the Spirit Vein of the eighty-one immortal mountains, arriving before the gate of the treasure vault.
The gate to this treasure vault was truly awe-inspiring. Forged entirely from Chaos Profound Iron, it stood ten thousand feet tall and five thousand feet wide, incredibly heavy, and covered with densely packed Emperor Dao Runes. Each rune radiated immense Emperor's Might, as if the Profound Heaven Great Emperor himself were present, inspiring awe in all who beheld it. Intertwined between the runes was a dense flow of Profound Yellow Mother Qi, forming heavy seals that exuded a terrifying pressure capable of suppressing all heavens and annihilating all things, causing the surrounding space to slightly sink. Legend has it that this gate was forged by the Profound Heaven Great Emperor over a hundred thousand years, fusing Chaos Profound Iron and Profound Yellow Mother Qi, and incorporating a portion of his own Emperor Dao Origin. Even Supreme Realm expert would find it difficult to forcefully breach, making it virtually indestructible.
Ren Xiaoyao's lips curled into a cold smile, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. He placed his hands on the cold Stone Gate, and the Primordial Chaos Dao Power surged into the Stone Gate like a raging river, spreading out along the trajectory of the Emperor Dao Runes and the Profound Yellow Mother Qi. "Old man Xuantian, the impregnable fortress you painstakingly built will today serve as my dowry! All your treasured possessions will be mine, and your Emperor Dao Inheritance will be inherited by me!"
Under the influence of the Primordial Chaos Dao Power, the Emperor Dao Runes on the Stone Gate melted rapidly, like snow meeting the morning sun, emitting a sizzling sound. The Imperial Dao Power contained within the runes was also forcibly assimilated by the Primordial Chaos Dao Power. The seal formed by the Profound Yellow Mother Qi was continuously scorched and contracted by the Heaven Burning Sword Intent surrounding him, as if encountering its nemesis, and finally turned into wisps of green smoke, dissipating into the air. With a deafening roar, the ten-thousand-foot-long Stone Gate slowly opened, like a giant beast opening its ferocious maw. A dense, impenetrable Spiritual Qi surged out from the treasure vault, forming a huge pillar of Spiritual Qi with a diameter of a thousand feet, shooting straight into the heavens. This caused the spiritual Spiritual Qi of the entire Immortal Realm to stir, and countless cultivators looked up, their eyes filled with shock and greed, yet no one dared to approach the Nine Heavens Profound Realm even half a step.
Stepping into the treasure vault, the sight before him sent a shiver down Ren Xiaoyao's spine. The vault was vast and boundless, like a self-contained Small World, its size far exceeding his imagination. The floor was paved with warm jade nurtured over millions of years, each piece radiating a soft glow. Stepping on it, pure Spiritual Qi flowed into his body through his feet, nourishing his meridians and Dao Foundation. The walls were inlaid with countless fist-sized luminous Luminous Pearl, each emitting a dazzling light, illuminating the entire vault as if it were daytime, without a single shadow. Within the vault, the Spiritual Qi was so dense it was almost liquid, condensing into Spiritual Energy Waterfall in the air, flowing gently and making a melodious sound. Below these waterfalls formed Spiritual Energy Lake, in which floated various rare spiritual herbs Immortal Medicine.
On the left side, mountains of rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures were piled up, their sheer quantity dazzling. Thousand-year-old spirit medicine were casually arranged like weeds, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance; among them were rare gems like the Purple Heart Grass, appearing only once every hundred years, and Vermilion Fruit, ripening only once every thousand years. Ten-thousand- Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Fruit hung on specially crafted jade racks, their vibrant colors and rich aromas tempting the eye, like tiny suns radiating warm light. And then there were the Immortal Crystal, as dazzling as stars, piled up into dozens of peaks, emanating incomparably pure Spiritual Qi, enough to entice any cultivator... The frenzy was intense, with many High-Grade Immortal Crystal and Top-Grade Immortal Crystal containing the Power of Principle. Besides these, there were countless rare ores, such as Seven-Colored Divine Stone, Chaos Crystal Stone, Profound Yellow Mother Ore, and Star Iron, each an excellent material for forging top-tier Law Treasure, considered rare treasures even in the Immortal Realm. One piece, Chaos Mother Stone the size of a human head, radiated a powerful Chaos Aura, its surface flowing with Chaos Current; it was priceless, enough to move even Great Emperor realm expert, and could be used to forge a supreme-level Law Treasure.
In the central area, hundreds of various Law Treasure floated, like stars orbiting the center of the treasure vault, each radiating a different light and aura. There were Emperor Artifact shimmering with imperial power, such as a golden Emperor Sword, its blade inscribed with star runes, radiating unparalleled sharpness, and faintly emitting Sword Hum's cry, as if yearning for battle; there were immortal armors of unparalleled defense, their surface flowing with Profound Yellow Qi, inscribed with the rune of "Guardian," clearly crafted from top-tier materials, capable of withstanding the full force of Great Emperor's attack; and there were various mysterious Spirit Treasure, such as Heavenly Secrets Eight Trigrams Mirror, its surface shimmering with mysterious Daoist energy; the Heaven and Earth Bag, capable of storing and forming its own space, its opening swirling with spatial power; the Teleportation Talisman, capable of instantaneous movement across vast distances, its runes flickering with spatial fluctuations; the Soul Locking Tower, capable of imprisoning the soul and preventing escape, its surface inscribed with Soul-Suppressing Runes. A dazzling array of treasures, too numerous to count. Among them is a Law Treasure called the "Myriad Heavens Star Chart," which, when unfolded, can manifest the myriad stars of the heavens, forming Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation, possessing boundless power. A top-tier Spirit Treasure combining defense and offense, it was obtained by the Profound Heaven Great Emperor at a great cost from the ruins of an Ancient Great Power being.
The right-hand area houses countless Cultivation Method Secret Manual, and Origin Power. Dozens of enormous bookshelves are neatly arranged, crafted from ancient wood that exudes a faint woody fragrance. They are filled with yellowed ancient books, each radiating an ancient aura and recording profound Daoist principles. Among them are High Antiquity, lost Emperor Level Cultivation Method, Supreme Secret Technique, and even a few scrolls recording fragments of the Primordial Chaos Great Dao. Each scroll contains profound Daoist principles, enough to advance a cultivator's Dao Path and save them from countless detours. On the jade platform in front of the bookshelves, clusters of pure Origin Power float, including Emperor Dao Origin power, Star Origin, Flame Origin, and Water Flow Origin. Each cluster is like a dancing flame, containing immense energy, enough to give a cultivator's Daoist power a qualitative leap, and even help them break through realm bottlenecks, saving them tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation.
Deep within, there was a high platform formed from the Profound Yellow Mother Qi. Intricate array patterns were carved upon it, emanating an aura that suppressed all heavens. A fist-sized golden bead floated in mid-air, radiating an aura identical to that of the Profound Heaven Great Emperor 'Emperor Dao Origin —this was another Profound Yellow Mother Pearl that he had not yet fully refined. This bead was purer than the one that shattered before, its surface flowing with dense Profound Yellow Qi, rolling like liquid, exuding a terrifying power that suppressed all heavens. It was one of the core treasures of the Myriad Heavens Profound Yellow Formation. Beside the bead lay an ancient wooden box, its surface inscribed with "Stealing Heaven" runes, radiating an aura of reversing space and time. Inside were three array plates of the Heaven Stealing Formation, the core of the secret technique the Profound Heaven Great Emperor had just used to escape. Faint traces of the Emperor Dao Origin still lingered on the array plates.
"As expected of the Great Emperor who has ruled the Immortal Realm for billions of years, this treasure vault truly lives up to its reputation!" A glint of fervor flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes, his heart filled with satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, the Primordial Chaos Dao Power around him erupted like a tsunami, transforming into a huge vortex that enveloped the entire treasure vault. As the vortex spun, it generated a powerful suction force.
Heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Immortal Crystal, Law Treasure artifacts and spiritual Spirit Treasure, Cultivation Method Secret Manual and secret manuals, Origin Power, and even the Profound Yellow Mother Pearl and the Heaven Stealing Formation Disk, were all swept up by the vortex formed by the Primordial Chaos Dao Power, converging on Ren Xiaoyao like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea. These treasures were enveloped by a layer of gentle tri-colored Dao power, preventing them from colliding and causing damage, and continuously flowed into his dantian, where they were rapidly absorbed and refined by the nascent Primordial Chaos Universe within.
As these treasures were integrated, the radiance of the nascent Primordial Chaos Universe grew ever more brilliant. The internal space expanded at a visible speed, rapidly increasing from its original range of ten thousand miles to one hundred thousand miles, then one million miles, and still expanding. The Primordial Chaos Dao Power also became purer and more powerful, flowing through his body like a rushing river. Wherever it passed, his meridians were further widened and strengthened, and his Dao Foundation became more stable and profound. Ren Xiaoyao could clearly feel that his Dao Foundation was being rapidly consolidated, and his understanding of the Primordial Chaos Dao was constantly deepening. Originally, he was only one step away from the Great Emperor Realm, but now he was on the verge of breaking through. The Dao power within his body had reached the critical point of the Great Emperor Realm, and he only needed an opportunity to successfully break through.
Half an hour later, the entire treasure vault was completely looted, leaving not even a single Immortal Crystal or a single spirit medicine leaf. Only the empty, warm jade floor and the luminous Luminous Pearl on the walls remained. Ren Xiaoyao withdrew his Dao power with satisfaction. The three-colored Dao power flowing around him became smoother, and his aura grew increasingly refined and unfathomable, showing faint signs of breaking through to the Great Emperor realm. With a flash, he left the Nine Heavens Profound Realm and flew towards the edge of the Immortal Realm. He knew that although the Profound Heaven Great Emperor had escaped, given his character, he would not let the matter rest. His revenge three thousand years later would be even more intense, and his opponent's strength would likely be even greater then. He needed to find a safe place as soon as possible to refine these treasures, break through to the Great Emperor realm, and even attempt to reach the Supreme Realm to enhance his own strength and prepare for future crises.
In the distant Depths of Chaos, a Space Cracks suddenly opened, and the figure of the Profound Heaven Great Emperor staggered out. His face was ashen, his breath weak, his Emperor Dao Origin completely depleted, and only a faint energy fluctuation remained around him, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment. His once golden Emperor Eyes were now dull and lifeless, filled only with endless resentment and unwillingness, like two Black Flames burning. He gazed towards the direction of the Immortal Realm, golden Emperor Blood constantly spilling from the corners of his mouth, the drops falling into the Chaos Current and instantly swallowed up. His voice was hoarse and venomous, filled with boundless hatred. "Ren Xiaoyao, you stole my treasure trove, destroyed my great formation, and shattered my mother pearl! This enmity is irreconcilable! When I find the Ancient Inheritance in the Primordial Chaos, recover my strength, and even break through to the Supreme Realm, I will tear you to pieces and Soul Annihilation, making you pay a terrible price for what you did today! I will let you know just how terrifying the consequences of provoking me are!"
As his words fell, Profound Heaven Great Emperor transformed into a faint golden streak of light and vanished into the Depths of Chaos, leaving behind only endless hatred and resentment that echoed through the Primordial Chaos. An even greater storm was quietly brewing, and the fateful showdown three thousand years later had already been foreshadowed, enough to shake the entire Immortal Realm and even the Primordial Chaos.
