Within the restricted area, the five True Immortals of the Chu Family, locked onto by the killing intent of an Immortal King-level powerhouse, all felt their souls tremble. Cold sweat poured from their immortal bodies, which had long ceased to know heat or cold!
The five True Immortals of the Chu Family present could not help but marvel. The Lord of the Restricted Area truly deserved to be an Immortal King-level existence on the same level as the Ancient Ancestor. He was indeed terrifying beyond imagination.
They even knew very well that if the Eight Regions had not been so special—a cage, but also a barrier—then the fury and killing intent of an Immortal King would likely have spread to the Upper Realm, the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!
However, they had come under orders this time, so naturally, they could not retreat!
Chu Xiong took a step forward and raised his hand, summoning an Imperial Edict that hovered in the air as he spoke loudly.
"Senior, please quell your anger. My Chu Family has come with absolute sincerity."
As Chu Xiong brought out the Immortal King's Imperial Edict, that terrifying pressure instantly vanished. The five True Immortals of the Chu Family, the countless living beings of the Eight Regions, and the Douluo Continent and God Realm, which had suffered an undeserved disaster, all breathed a collective sigh of relief.
It seemed that everything had passed...
At the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao looked at the sect grounds, which had practically become ruins, and remained silent. In the end, he let out a long breath.
"Count the casualties!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi, led by Chen Xin and Gu Rong, had barely escaped through the sect gates. Turning back, he looked at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, now completely swallowed by fissures in the earth, his face ashen.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect... just... disappeared..."
On Sea God Island, Bo Saixi looked at Sea God Island, which had been smashed to pieces by a tsunami tens of thousands of meters high, and said nothing.
"High Priestess, what... what do we do? Sea God Island... is gone..."
Sea Dragon Douluo, leader of the Seven Sacred Pillars, stared pale-faced at the tiny remnants of Sea God Island. Looking at the silent Bo Saixi, he could not help asking.
As Sea Dragon Douluo spoke, the other six members of the Seven Sacred Pillars all turned to Bo Saixi, awaiting her answer.
After a long silence, Bo Saixi finally spoke.
"Sea God Island is gone, but all of us are still here. As long as we remain, Sea God Island will remain. The Sea God's inheritance will remain as well."
At Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu carried Tang San, whose breath was now faint as a thread, and rushed toward where Oscar was.
Just now, in order to save her, her San Ge had been struck head-on in the lower body by a massive boulder that had appeared from nowhere. Then, carried by the boulder's momentum, it had rolled over him from the front, and he had now completely fallen unconscious.
She had to find Oscar or Jiangzhu as quickly as possible and have them treat San Ge!
She should have gone to Jiangzhu, the pure healer, but Jiangzhu was not at Shrek Academy right now, so she could only look for Oscar!
I hope Oscar can heal San Ge...
Xiao Wu turned her head and looked at Tang San, who kept coughing up blood. The worry in her eyes grew ever thicker.
At Stone Village, the Willow Deity sensed yet another rising Immortal King aura, and her heart sank slightly.
"Another one. This is an aura I have never sensed before... This is troublesome..."
After thinking for a moment, one of the Willow Deity's leaves tore through space and arrived beside Shi Hao, who was helping the heavily panting Zhu Zhuqing to her feet. It quietly slipped into Shi Hao's body.
Within the Life Restricted Area, the Lord of the Restricted Area had already emerged from its depths with two young attendants. Faint immortal mist swirled around him, yet his appearance could still be clearly seen.
He stood tall and straight, without a single superfluous ornament upon him. He wore only a spotless white robe, standing peerless and alone. His face was handsome, his gaze deep, and his temperament extraordinary and transcendent, untouched by the dust of the mortal world. His bearing remained calm and composed, yet his eyes concealed endless vicissitudes and sorrow.
"Though I do not know which daoist friend you are, you have seen my condition. Though I have already perished and only a trace of remnant will remains, if you continue to press me step by step, then even if I must completely vanish from this world, I will make you pay the price!"
A figure slowly emerged from the Imperial Edict Chu Xiong had brought forth. In the end, he leaped down and landed on the ground, transforming into a handsome and imposing man. His black robe made him appear exceptionally majestic, radiating boundless pressure.
"Daoist friend, do not misunderstand. I bear no ill intent. I merely have a request."
"A request? Who comes knocking at someone's door to ask for a favor? Do you truly think I have such a good temper?"
The Lord of the Restricted Area's aura became increasingly terrifying, yet before Chu Yuan, it still could not shake him in the slightest.
"Daoist friend, it is not that I was unwilling to come in person, but my cultivation has reached a critical juncture. Once I complete it, suppressing the Dark Turmoil will take no more than an instant."
Facing the Lord of the Restricted Area's fury, Chu Yuan's voice remained calm, as though he had not felt it at all, and he continued.
"Fellow Daoist once ventured deep into the World Sea and knows how terrifying the darkness in its depths is. Thus, in order to face the coming Dark Turmoil, I need to make sufficient preparations."
The moment Chu Yuan's words fell, the Lord of the Restricted Area's anger instantly subsided, and his aura returned to being upright and peaceful. For the first time, surprise appeared in those starry eyes that seemed to contain all the Dao of heaven and earth and had witnessed every joy and sorrow of the world.
"You... No, daoist friend, do you know what you are saying? The darkness in the depths of the World Sea is about to strike?"
Chu Yuan nodded and raised two fingers.
"If my calculations are correct, then in roughly two million years, the darkness on the other side of the World Sea will descend. At that time, the heavens will be thrown into chaos and all worlds will perish. In that greatest Dark Turmoil in history, the endless living beings of the Myriad Worlds will not be spared. All will become sacrifices to darkness!"
As Chu Yuan's words fell, even the Lord of the Restricted Area, who could be said to have seen all that should and should not be seen, was so shocked that he could not speak. He even staggered back two steps, and his body became somewhat translucent from the sheer shock.
After all, although this white-robed cultivator was not the Lord of the Restricted Area's original body—his original body had long died within the World Sea, leaving only a skull bearing the obsession of an Immortal King and a portion of his origin to flee back to the Myriad Worlds—this white-robed cultivator was merely a Dharma Body condensed by his supreme power.
Yet even so, he was still an Immortal King!
Even a Dharma Body condensed from a wisp of an Immortal King's obsession was still unimaginably powerful. Ordinary peak True Immortals, even Quasi-Immortal Kings, could not fight him. In theory, unless the Lord of the Restricted Area suffered grievous injury or his obsession dissipated, he would never reach the point where his Dharma Body nearly collapsed!
The current situation could only mean one thing: the information Chu Yuan had brought was too shocking, so shocking that it could make an Immortal King lose focus for a brief moment!
After a long silence, the Lord of the Restricted Area solidified his body once more. His gaze toward Chu Yuan was filled with scrutiny. After a long while, he slowly spoke.
"How do I know whether what you say is true or false? Although terrifying darkness surely lurks on the other side of the World Sea, there are also many powerful experts on this side of the Myriad Worlds. Among them are Emperor Light Immortal Kings like the Butcher and the Burial King, who have already condensed the Radiance of the Emperor Dao. I do not believe the darkness at the other end of the World Sea can defeat the Myriad Worlds!"
Hearing this, Chu Yuan shook his head, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
"Whether it is the Butcher or the Burial King, though they have condensed the Radiance of the Emperor Dao, they are not true Emperors in the end. But on the other side of the World Sea..."
As Chu Yuan's voice gradually trailed off, an unimaginably terrifying sense of dread instantly enveloped the Lord of the Restricted Area's heart!
As the saying went, bad omens always came true. Chu Yuan's next words fully confirmed it!
"On the other side of the World Sea, there are Emperors who have fallen into darkness!!!"
