Chapter 440
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone agreed and then turned to leave.
At the same time.
Beyond the vast world of Ziwei, in the starry sky.
The imposing figure stood silently, gazing upon the world within, where countless creatures rapidly sprang into action.
"They seem to have noticed something?"
"Is this a retreat? They're being quite cautious."
The burly figure shook his head.
He needs the Ziwei Great World, but he doesn't need the countless mortal beings within it, nor the groups of cultivators dwelling in various blessed and beautiful places.
"Let's clean up first..."
Sizzle!
The next moment, he raised his hand and reached out to grab the Ziwei Great World.
Rumble!
In an instant, the entire Ziwei Great World trembled violently, and the celestial phenomena changed drastically!
The entire sky shattered suddenly, as if it were glass, and the great array that protected the Ziwei Great World broke instantly!
The vast and boundless continent suddenly sank, as if unable to bear its weight, instantly sinking hundreds of feet, causing the earth to tremble and flames to erupt.
Click! Click!
Countless cracks appeared on the earth.
Even the endless mountains and rivers trembled, the great rivers surged and churned, countless lakes overflowed, and giant trees fell.
Whether they were ordinary mortals or disciples of cultivation sects, they all trembled and fled in panic.
"What happened?!"
"What happened?!"
"Run! Run!"
In an instant, the entire Ziwei Great World was thrown into chaos. Many cultivators panicked and fled frantically in all directions, trying to escape the Ziwei Great World.
The sudden scene shocked Ye Ruoshui and the others who had just left the Middle Heaven Divine Palace.
"I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly!"
"What should we do? Should we continue to gather living beings?"
"Don't go! Send a telepathic message to the Supreme Being and the Earth Immortal, instructing them to each bring their closest comrades and immediately evacuate the Ziwei Great World to the Xuan Jin Great World to assemble!"
Lin Wanqiu's heart skipped a beat, and she made a decision without hesitation.
She knew, of course, that with the Celestial King making his move, they had no room to maneuver and could only run. Otherwise, let alone save the world, they might even get themselves caught in the crossfire.
Just then...
A thunderous roar erupted.
In the vast world of Ziwei, the sky suddenly darkened.
Its boundless power swept across, enveloping the billions of stars in the sky and completely obscuring their light.
All I saw was...
In the boundless void, a gigantic face suddenly appeared.
This face was devoid of joy or sorrow, indifferent and cold, gazing down upon the vast world of Ziwei below.
As this face appeared, a strange and mysterious fluctuation spread from it, reaching throughout the entire world.
Thump! Thump!
In an instant, countless creatures trembled, fell to their knees, and prostrated themselves on the ground.
A terrifying pressure enveloped their hearts, causing them to tremble and nearly collapse.
"All living beings of the Ziwei Great World, heed my command! I Great Jin Chang Immortal King, hereby assume control of the Heavenly Dao Source of this world and become the Lord of the Ziwei Great World. Those who do not wish to do so may face their deaths!"
A cold, cruel voice echoed across every inch of the Ziwei Great World, filled with murderous intent.
Boom!
Upon hearing this, all cultivators in the entire Ziwei Great World were horrified.
Immortal King?
What is that?
Throughout their lives, they never even met one of the few immortals in the Imperial Court.
As for the even more ethereal Celestial King, no one had ever even heard of such a title!
But anyone can understand that since he is called the Immortal King, he must be the king among immortals!
BOOM!!!
The edge of the Ziwei Grand World.
Ye Ruoshui, Lin Wanqiu, and others, along with a group of Supreme Beings and Earth Immortals, stopped here.
Even under the impact of the Immortal Light, the boundary wall remained unbreakable, without even a ripple.
Unable to cross the boundary and break free from the larger world.
"What's going on?!"
All the supreme beings and earth immortals showed expressions of fear.
Normally, with their abilities, they could easily enter and exit the boundary, but at this moment, the boundary was like an iron gate, locking them inside the Ziwei Great World.
It's as if we're living in two separate worlds!
"It's over! It must be that Celestial King who made the move. He has locked us within this world; if we don't submit, we will die!"
The supreme ruler's face turned deathly pale, and he murmured to himself.
Although the others did not speak, their faces also showed fear.
"That's a Celestial King... The Imperial Court is probably no match for him. Should we surrender?"
"... Fellow Daoist is right. Since ancient times, people have chosen to roost in fine trees and marshes on auspicious days..."
"Indeed, if we surrender to the Immortal King, we might still be able to save our lives; but if we remain stubborn..."
Many supreme beings and earth immortals whispered among themselves, their eyes revealing a deep sense of fear, clearly indicating that they had already begun to consider submitting.
Quietly, many people secretly left, preparing to lead their respective forces to submit to the Great Jin Chang Immortal King.
"You bastard!"
Ye Ruoshui's pretty face was filled with anger.
"Ruoshui should not hold a grudge against them. When disaster strikes, those who lack resolve cannot last long."
Lin Wanqiu reassured him, "Right now, our most important task is to find a way to leave. As long as His Highness returns, everything will be alright!"
Those who waver and compromise their principles will not have a good end!
Ye Ruoshui cursed again, let out a long sigh, and said, "It must be that the Great Jin Chang Immortal King has sealed off the boundary wall; we probably can't leave now."
543. The Purple Star Catastrophe
Above the Ziwei Great World, the enormous face, though seemingly formless and intangible, was actually quite substantial, condensing into a huge eye.
Looking down upon the endless creatures below, his eyes were filled with a desolate indifference. "Those ants, even if they are fortunate enough to attain immortality, can never escape the fate of ants!"
Boom!!!
The next moment, he slowly reached out his hand.
In an instant.
The sky above was filled with ever-changing clouds and winds.
A vast, majestic, and indescribable power descended from nowhere, suppressing everything and crashing down upon the Ziwei Great World.
Bang!!
Countless living beings were utterly powerless to resist, and were directly suppressed into a bloody pulp, their souls scattered.
"Ah!!!"
"Immortal King, spare my life!"
"Immortal King, I am willing to surrender!"
"Immortal King, stop! This humble servant is willing to lead the entire sect to submit to the Immortal King!"
"This junior is willing to acknowledge the Immortal King as his ancestral master; please, ancestral master, spare this junior."
The air was filled with heart-wrenching cries and desperate pleas for mercy.
However, the enormous face in the sky seemed not to hear their words at all, its expression cold, indifferent, and utterly unmoved.
Rumble!
Before the Immortal King's invisible and immense power, the once Great Cultivator who dominated their regions were all reduced to mere weeds, exploding into dust one after another.
Amidst endless wails, lives were lost one by one.
Blood splattered across the sky, staining half the heavens red.
Countless lives were lost, wailing and weeping.
Those who wanted to surrender did not understand why they were willing to surrender, but the Celestial King killed them all without distinguishing right from wrong.
This question is destined to have no answer.
Or perhaps the answer is too simple, and no one is willing to believe it.
Simply because...
He doesn't care.
It doesn't matter whether these ant-like creatures are single-minded or half-hearted.
In just a few breaths.
The vast Ziwei Great World had become empty and desolate. Almost all the cultivation sects and the Great Cultivator who originally occupied their respective regions seemed to have disappeared overnight.
Of the countless mortal beings scattered across the vast continent, seven or eight out of ten perished.
Throughout the entire world.
Only the Ziwei Imperial Court, located in the center, was protected by the Heavenly Dao Source and was able to withstand the impact of the Immortal King's power to some extent.
However, it only offered a slight resistance.
The Land of Origin.
"Damn it! So many lives have been taken, doesn't he fear divine retribution?!"
Ye Ruoshui gritted her teeth.
Celestial King!
Her beautiful eyes flashed with malice as she gazed at the sky, her heart filled with resentment.
