Life Restricted Area!

At the same time, the Life Restricted Area of the Xuan Region welcomed several uninvited guests today!

Looking at the Taiyin River and the Yang River flowing slowly before them, one of the beings spoke with a hint of surprise.

"To think that such a barren land as the Lower Realm's Eight Regions, which serves as a prison, would actually contain a Life Restricted Area?"

The speaker's voice shook the heavens and the earth; his words nearly caused the world to flip upside down. If any top-tier powerhouse were present, they would surely be too terrified to make a sound.

For this was a True Immortal! A genuine, authentic True Immortal—a complete True Immortal that should not exist within the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!

"I once heard that the Lower Realm's Eight Regions were extremely mysterious. Most of the Ten Fiends, whose fierce reputations echo throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, were active within the Eight Regions. I originally thought it was merely because the Eight Regions served as a prison to suppress the darkness. Now it seems, aside from the darkness, there are other existences here as well."

The tone of another powerhouse was very calm, yet it also caused the heavens and earth to change color, even forcing the Order Divine Chains to manifest.

Clearly, this was an existence even more formidable than the True Immortal who had just spoken. If one had to describe him, he was an Extreme True Immortal, or perhaps a Half-Step Quasi-Immortal King who had already kicked one foot across the threshold of a Quasi-Immortal King!

"Enough, shut up and keep moving forward."

Another Half-Step Quasi-Immortal King spoke slowly, his expression grave.

Because at this moment, a surging Chaos Mist appeared before their party. Vaguely, there were terrifying roars, as if beasts from an unknown era were howling at the sky.

But everyone present was an Immortal-level powerhouse, the weakest among them being a True Immortal. Naturally, they knew clearly that these were not the roars of beasts, but the rumbling sounds formed by the collision of laws. If one looked closely, they could even see the manifested Order Divine Chains constantly intertwining.

Countless laws and Order Divine Chains, like red-hot iron bars, collided in the infinite void, continuously bursting forth with infinite light. It was blinding and dazzling to the extreme; even a True Immortal had to channel Immortal energy into their eyes just to see clearly!

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the group finally came to a halt.

There was no other reason than the fact that they smelled a refreshing fragrance. To make a True Immortal-level powerhouse feel refreshed, one could only imagine what kind of existence the medicine emitting this scent must be!

If a cultivator in the Human Dao Domain, even an Extreme Dao Supreme at the peak of the human path, were here, they would fight to the death for this medicine. There was no other reason: this medicine was a so-called Longevity Medicine!

All the True Immortals present knew they had arrived.

"Chu Xiong of the Immortal King Chu Clan, comes to pay respects to the Lord of the Restricted Area!"

"Chu Yun of the Immortal King Chu Clan, comes to pay respects to the Lord of the Restricted Area!"

"Chu Kuang of the Immortal King Chu Clan, comes to pay respects to the Lord of the Restricted Area!"

"Chu Yue of the Immortal King Chu Clan, comes to pay respects to the Lord of the Restricted Area!"

"Chu Xinghan of the Immortal King Chu Clan, comes to pay respects to the Lord of the Restricted Area!"

Even though the five present were all Immortal-level figures at the True Immortal realm, and some were even Half-Step Quasi-Immortal Kings who had kicked one foot across the threshold, they knew better: the ancient existence dwelling here was of a taboo level. Even the Ancient Ancestor of the Immortal King Chu Clan, Chu Yuan, who had stepped into the realm of an Emperor Light Immortal King, would have to show some respect to the taboo existence residing here!

"Presumptuous! The Nine Heavens and Ten Lands have long since lacked Immortal Kings; where does this 'Immortal King Chu Clan' come from? Although you are True Immortals, do you intend to force your way into my Life Restricted Area?!"

As this voice fell, an astonishing change occurred within the Life Restricted Area. Boundless medicine fields began to glow, and that refreshing fragrance became even more intense. The next moment, pillars of light shot up from the surroundings, piercing the firmament like pillars supporting the heavens. They reached the thirty-third heaven above and the eighteenth layer of the netherworld below; the sheer scale of the momentum was simply shocking.

However, these numerous brilliant pillars of light did not illuminate the surroundings; on the contrary, they made the area even darker, as if all the light was being drawn into a vortex around them.

Even though everyone present was a pinnacle figure of the Immortal Path, they could not help but fall silent at the sight of this scene.

They had only ever witnessed such methods in the ancestral lands of the Chu Clan!

"You may not be aware, but we hail from the Immortal Domain and are cultivators of the Immortal King Chu Clan."

Chu Xiong, the Half-Step Quasi-Immortal King leading the group, spoke slowly. His voice was neither servile nor overbearing, ringing out with strength; he showed no sign of cowering simply because the other party was an Immortal King.

"Hmph, so what if you are True Immortals from an Immortal King family in the Immortal Domain? We once erected a Divine Stele: those who trespass into the Land of Slumber shall die! If you do not retreat now, do not blame us for taking action!"

The True Immortals of the Chu Clan present all frowned. Were the beings in this restricted area not being a bit too overbearing and arrogant?

They had clearly treated them with courtesy, yet the other party showed no appreciation at all, acting completely impervious to reason.

"Is that so? Then let us put it to the test. If we win, you shall allow us to meet the Lord of the Restricted Area who slumbers here!"

Chu Xiong's voice remained calm and steady, but his aura began to climb steadily!

In just an instant, his terrifying aura caused the surrounding laws and order to flee, as if he were about to reshape heaven and earth!

"Presumptuous! Do you really think we cannot deal with you?!"

Seemingly provoked by Chu Xiong, the voice became even more furious, with an undercurrent that threatened to overturn heaven and earth and reverse yin and yang!

"Then let's try it!"

"Try it then!"

"Come on then!"

"If you have the guts, come inside!"

Watching what looked like a squabble between children, the other four True Immortals of the Chu Clan were at a loss for words.

However, they also understood that the other party's strength was likely at most on par with theirs, or perhaps they were just an ordinary True Immortal, far from reaching the peak of the True Immortal realm like Chu Xiong. Therefore, to fight Chu Xiong, they had to rely on the power of the Life Restricted Area.

Chu Xiong's thinking was simple: he was clearly stronger than the opponent. If they were anywhere else, he would not fear them in the slightest and could suppress them in a few moves. Why waste his energy fighting someone who held the advantage of home-field terrain?

"Who is causing this disturbance?"

Just as both sides were deadlocked in what resembled a childish argument, another voice rang out. This voice was slightly magnetic yet gentle as jade, making one feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze. The moment the voice fell, the rising anger in the hearts of both Chu Xiong and the owner of the voice from within the restricted area vanished into thin air.

Because of this, the five True Immortals of the Chu Clan were all startled.

The master had finally appeared!

"Five True Immortals from the Immortal Domain. They have trespassed into our realm; they should be executed on the spot!"

As if having found a backer, the voice that spoke first turned respectful, yet the murderous intent between its words began to emerge, instantly causing the five True Immortals of the Chu family to tense up, bracing themselves without the slightest bit of carelessness.

They knew very well that even if they could summon the power of the Ancient Ancestor Chu Yuan through the connection of their bloodlines, the scale of a clash between Immortal Kings was immense. Even the Aftermath would be enough to consign a True Immortal to eternal damnation!

"Tong'er, your murderous intent is too great. If you do not change it, it will affect your Great Dao."

That gentle voice remained as refreshing as a spring breeze, simultaneously causing the five True Immortals of the Chu family to heave a long sigh of relief.

Since the other party spoke in such a manner, it meant they were not prepared to resort to force.

That was good, truly good!
