Beyond the Two Realms, Hao Jun Appeared

"So, what exactly does the Netherworld Lord want to do?"

Slowly emerging from the East Sea, Divine Lord Meng Zhang felt the oppressive aura emanating from him, his heart filled with confusion. This oppressive aura came from the Netherworld Lord; it was both a threat and a warning.

On the surface, it seems that the Netherworld Lord is preventing the Heavenly Emperor's subjects from rushing to the Heavenly Emperor's Capital, creating an opportunity for the Jinhong to force out the Wu Jun. But in reality, isn't the scope of the Lord's warning a bit too exaggerated?

Not only the Heavenly Emperor's subjects, but also other Heavenly Deity and Dao Proving One who did not participate in the war received the same warning.

It's important to understand that although the five-hundred-year struggle between the Great Golden Crow and Heng'e swept across the entire era, there were still neutral figures like Xiu Snake. They were either powerful, had special identities, or possessed exceptional concealment abilities.

Regardless, these neutral parties are real, and neither side wants to force them to the opposite side. Similarly, these neutral parties know better than anyone that the struggle between the Great Golden Crow and Heng'e is nothing.

In this mythical age of myths, the existence of the strongest is enough to crush all who dare to defy them.

As long as none of Hao Jun, Lord, and Dao Ancestor have yet appeared.

Everything that has happened in the last eight hundred years is subject to change.

According to Divine Lord Meng Zhang's prediction, Wu Jun should be the first supreme expert to be unable to resist making a move.

After all, this era was his base of power, and these eight hundred years were the most prosperous period of his rule.

Only if Wu Jun makes the first move will the Lord and the Dao Ancestor follow suit, thus completely determining the future trend.

To Divine Lord Meng Zhang's utter surprise, it was actually the Lord, who was theoretically "the least concerned about winning or losing," who made the first move. To be honest, Divine Lord Meng Zhang had even considered that the Dao Ancestor might eventually reshape the Long River of Time because he couldn't stand by and watch.

No one expected that the Netherworld Lord, who gains regardless of victory or defeat, would make his move before his true form had returned.

This indiscriminate, all-encompassing warning, in particular, is practically a declaration of "I'm furious."

"Chi Mingming could have simply stood by and reaped the benefits."

Just then, a voice came from Divine Lord Meng Zhang's forepaw.

It was a jet-black dragon Dragon Pearl, from which one could vaguely discern a deadly aura emanating.

Indeed, this is true. The black dragon Dragon Pearl that was suppressed inside was the Ink Qilin that fought against Divine Lord Meng Zhang five hundred years ago. That battle ended with Divine Lord Meng Zhang emerging victorious.

The Ink Qilin was thus turned into a stone sculpture and completely suppressed within the Dragon Pearl.

Although its true form was transformed into a stone sculpture and suppressed within the Dragon Pearl, the Ink Qilin was still able to communicate with the outside world.

For the past five hundred years, Divine Lord Meng Zhang has been trying to resolve the resentment in the heart of the Ink Qilin.

Although Ink Qilin felt that Divine Lord Meng Zhang's approach was indecisive, at least they were now able to communicate normally.

Even if the pool is the embodiment of death, the Netherworld...

"But isn't such a large-scale provocation of those Dao Proving One a bit too high-profile?"

Ink Qilin's words perfectly captured Divine Lord Meng Zhang's confusion and doubts. The Netherworld Lord he knew wasn't such a high-profile figure. "Unless... Chi has a reason for doing this."

The Heavenly Emperor's Capital, the Ninth Heaven - Heaven of Crimson Radiance and Harmonious Yang.

"What is Your Lord doing?"

Having also noticed what was happening outside, Xiluo turned to look at Li Boyang with a puzzled expression.

Located in the Supreme Heaven of the Heavenly Emperor's Capital, Xiluo felt things even more clearly than those who Dao Proving One outside.

With the intervention of the Netherworld Lord, the connection Heavenly Emperor's Capital and reality was completely severed, making it a special world independent of the Yin and Yang realms.

Ultimately, no matter how special the Heavenly Emperor's Capital be, it is still a blessed land and grotto-heaven that exists in the present world.

Without the supply of Yuan Qi and resources from the outside world, the Heavenly Emperor's Capital is like a tree without roots, gradually withering and decaying. This is most evident in Heaven of Crimson Radiance and Harmonious Yang.

Because this is the Supreme Heaven of the Heavenly Emperor's Capital, the central place where all changes in the universe converge.

Even the slightest change in the Heavenly Emperor's Capital is clearly visible here.

"He is preventing the Dao Proving One from entering the Heavenly Emperor's Capital."

Upon hearing Li Boyang's statement, Xiluo rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Of course I know he's preventing other people from getting in here. I mean, why is he doing that?"

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang took out the Kunlun Mirror, then pointed it at Xiluo and smiled.

"I think there's someone more qualified than me to answer this question."

Before he finished speaking, the Kunlun Mirror in Li Boyang's hand suddenly began to flash.

It's like a cell phone that previously had no signal suddenly gaining one.

Dappled light and shadow and a cacophony of sounds emanated from the [Kunlun Mirror], and a faint, indistinct human figure could be seen in the distance.

"This is?"

Before Xiluo could react, the figure became clear.

Xiluo recognized him at a glance; it was Wu Jun in his human form.

When Li Boyang was exploring the Heavenly Emperor's Capital, Xiluo had seen Wu Jun was carved on a mural.

At that time, Li Boyang had not yet Dao Proving, yet he still fought Wu Jun across time and space.

In the series of events that followed, Xiluo witnessed Wu Jun's power, which far exceeded the comprehension of ordinary people.

Wu Jun has not yet Dao Proving, but that does not mean he has not become stronger.

This is Xiluo's deepest understanding of Hao Jun.

"Hao Jun?"

As if hearing Xiluo's exclamation, Wu Jun in the [Kunlun Mirror] suddenly turned his head to look outwards.

Only at this moment did Xiluo see Hao Jun's complete appearance.

Although he was in human form, Wu Jun was not a complete human.

The golden bird head surveyed its surroundings majestically, its azure robe making it appear as if it were the center of heaven and earth.

Like a blazing sun shining in all directions.

Beyond those two realms, in that chaotic and disordered place, a distinct sense of order quietly emerged.

"Li Boyang?"

A hint of surprise seemed to appear on the majestic bird's head.

Wu Jun completely ignored Xiluo beside him, staring intently at Li Boyang, who had a half-smile on his face.

"You found me first, after all!"

When Wu Jun's voice came from the Kunlun Mirror, Li Boyang also spoke up.

"Indeed, you've really mastered the 'blind spot under the lamp' trope."

"The Lord has been probing your weaknesses and searching for your whereabouts..."

"But he never imagined that the 'key' to your final destination would be held in my hands all along." (Monthly ticket, Lun Wang/Female C recommendation ticket, Xin Wang)
