Some Immortal Kings, once they ventured deep into the Sea of Boundaries, simply never returned. Trapped within, they could only keep moving forward; otherwise, with danger lurking everywhere in the Sea of Boundaries, they could easily perish. All kinds of strange beings attacked them, many comparable to Immortal Kings.
The Dark Storm was even more dangerous. One either perished beneath it or fell into corruption, their minds overwhelmed by those rule runes until they became Fallen Immortal Kings.
"So this is what it feels like—to lose oneself in the Sea of Boundaries and be unable to find the way back. These are the rules of the Sea of Boundaries." Ji Hao murmured, "Unfortunately, karma stands above the Sea of Boundaries, and it is the Cause of All Fruits!"
A Green Lotus bloomed in his eyes, its black-and-white radiance illuminating the Heavens and Myriad Realms. A karmic thread connecting Ji Hao to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths guided him home.
"Now I can move forward without worry!" Having confirmed this final matter, Ji Hao was at ease as he boldly advanced into the Sea of Boundaries.
Sooner or later, he had to return to the Nine Heavens. The karma surrounding this body at the end of the Ancient Immortal era needed to be resolved.
Boom!
Suddenly, an Ancient Beast emerged from beneath the water. Its back was covered in bone spines, black as ink and thrusting toward the sky. It was hideous, like an enormous Lizard covered in dark scales. Opening its blood-filled maw, it bit toward Ji Hao.
Its eyes were crimson. It had long since lost itself.
"Pitiful. I'll grant you release." Ji Hao pointed a finger. His jade-white fingertip slowly pressed down, and in the blink of an eye, the Ancient Beast, larger than a star, disintegrated.
