The Giant God Heavenly Palace Shaken, Secrets of Eight Desolations

The Supreme Immortal Domain, the Giant God Heavenly Palace.

This is a magnificent continent suspended at the very top of the nine heavens, with thousands of palaces, all forged from meteorite iron, exuding an ancient and desolate wild aura.

At this moment, inside the towering "God King's Palace" in the Heavenly Palace.

Jiang Liuli, clad in platinum armor, stood respectfully in the center of the hall. Beside her stood the Giant Spirit Half-Saint who had just escorted her back.

Seated in the main seat of the hall was a middle-aged man with a towering figure, surrounded by chaotic energy, resembling an ancient god-king.

Lord of the Giant God Heavenly Palace -- Immortal Saint Shenwu!

A Advanced Immortal Saint who has mastered seven Great Dao!

"... That's how it is."

Jiang Liuli recounted everything that happened in the Nether Ghost Market in great detail. From the struggle for the fragmented map to the Netherworld Immortal Venerable's blockade, and then to the sudden appearance of the man in blue robes who annihilated the Immortal Venerable with a single blow...

The main hall was completely silent.

After a long while, the Immortal Saint Shenwu finally spoke, his voice booming like a great bell, reverberating through the Xukong.

"You mean... this person's bone age is less than five hundred, his cultivation level seems to be at the Immortal Emperor Perfection, yet he has simultaneously mastered the three Great Dao of Thunder, Fire, and Power?"

"Moreover, it can also perform... a dual-path fusion technique?"

"Exactly!" A trace of shock still lingered in Jiang Liuli's eyes. "Faced with an attack intertwined with lightning and fire, that Netherworld Old Ghost... didn't even have a chance to escape; he was instantly annihilated!"

"Hiss..."

On both sides of the main hall, dozens of elders, who also exuded powerful auras, couldn't help but gasp.

"Comprehended the Three Paths before even reaching the Immortal Venerable?!"

"He can even merge with the Great Dao? This... what kind of heaven-defying comprehension is this?!"

The Immortal Saint Shenwu tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the throne, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"This child... is indeed an anomaly."

"To have reached this level in a place like the Lower Realm, where the laws are incomplete, is simply inconceivable."

He gave it extremely high praise:

"With his foundation, as long as he doesn't perish along the way, his advancement to Immortal Venerable is a certainty. Even... even in this Supreme Immortal Domain, he has a chance to challenge for the throne of Intermediate Immortal Saint, or even... Advanced Immortal Saint!"

These words shocked all the elders.

Advanced Immortal Saint!

That was someone on par with the Palace Master, the true pinnacle of the entire Immortal Realm!

As Jiang Liuli listened to the Palace Master's evaluation, the image of that figure in green robes resurfaced in her mind, filling her with mixed emotions.

[So... he's highly regarded in the Palace Master's eyes?]

However.

While everyone was still marveling at this assessment...

"Buzz--!"

Without any warning!

The ocean of laws above the Giant God Heavenly Palace suddenly surged violently!

Immediately afterwards.

An extremely sharp and powerful aura, seemingly capable of piercing the heavens, traversed endless time and space and projected itself onto this Supreme Immortal Domain!

"This is..."

The Immortal Saint Shenwu suddenly looked up, his gaze like lightning.

"The Great Dao of Metal... is complete?!"

Before the crowd's surprise could even subside...

"Call--!"

A sudden gust of wind arose!

A pervasive and boundless aura of the Great Dao of Wind followed closely behind, sweeping in!

"Another... another Great Dao?!"

That's not all!

"Boom--!"

The light in the entire hall vanished instantly, plunging it into absolute darkness!

That was the purest of all... the Great Dao of Darkness!

Three in a row!

Moreover, the source of each aura pointed in the same direction— the Lower Realm!

"This... how is this possible?!"

Inside the main hall, all the elders could no longer sit still and stood up abruptly, their faces filled with horror!

"Three paths appearing simultaneously in one day?!"

"Could it be that three old monsters in the Lower Realm broke through at the same time? Or is it...?"

Jiang Liuli's delicate body trembled violently. She stared intently in that direction, a suffocating thought frantically growing in her mind.

[Golden... wind... dark...]

[Plus the previous lightning, fire, and power...]

[Could it be... him?!]

No! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

She shook her head frantically, trying to deny the absurd idea.

[How long has it been? Even eating and drinking wouldn't take that long! How could he possibly comprehend three Great Dao in such a short time?!]

[This isn't just a prodigy, this is... a bastard child of Heaven?!]

The Immortal Saint Shenwu also had a solemn expression, but he did not delve into it. Instead, he waved his hand to dispel the strange phenomenon.

"A great era is approaching, and monsters will emerge."

There's no need to make a fuss.

He looked at Jiang Liuli and said in a deep voice, "Liuli, you said that person took your incomplete map?"

"Yes." Jiang Liuli quickly replied, "This disciple is incompetent and failed to protect the fragment of the map. However... this disciple has already discovered the true nature of the ruins that the fragment of the map points to!"

At this point, her voice became extremely solemn.

"That is... the legendary place where the [Eight Desolations Immortal Saint] passed away!"

"What?!"

"Eight Desolations?!"

The moment those two words were uttered, they were even more awe-inspiring than the extraordinary phenomenon of the Great Dao that had just occurred!

Even the usually composed and unwavering Immortal Saint Shenwu suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with an unprecedented brilliance!

"Are you sure... it's that man who mastered eight Great Dao, once dominated an era, and was only half a step away from becoming the Supreme Immortal Emperor... the Eight Desolations Madman?!"

"Absolutely true!" Jiang Liuli said with certainty.

"That old madman from the Eight Desolations..."

A highly senior elder stroked his beard, a hint of fear and helplessness flashing in his eyes.

"Back then, he was notoriously short-tempered and arrogant! In his eyes, apart from those few supreme immortal Immortal Emperor, everyone else was a mediocre talent!"

"That's right." The Immortal Saint Shenwu nodded and said in a deep voice, "The legacy he left behind will not be so easy to obtain. It is said that he once swore an oath that he would not pass it on to anyone but a 'peerless genius' or someone 'invincible among their peers'."

"An ordinary Immortal Venerable would probably not even be able to pass the first trial; they would be blasted into dust by the restrictions he left behind!"

Upon hearing this, everyone Central Capital a chill run down their spines.

The Eight Desolations Immortal Saint possesses eight Great Dao and is only one step away from becoming Immortal Emperor. One can imagine how lofty his vision is.

"That kid from the Lower Realm, although he has some talent, is ultimately just a person from the Lower Realm, with shallow foundations."

The elder shook his head, not optimistic. "Even if he obtains the incomplete map and opens the ruins, his chances of survival are slim."
