"If the ancient alien realms, with their immortal and powerful figures, acted recklessly, slaughtered the innocent, destroyed planes, and committed heinous crimes, making them enemies of many realms... then compared to darkness, they are nothing."
Immortal Golden Daoist sighed and said:
"Of the countless planes in the Boundary Sea, at least half are now lifeless, and that's the work of darkness!"
"That's countless, even the Emperor Light Immortal King couldn't count them!"
The Second Under Heaven, the True Dragon, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, the Immortal Monk King, and others also spoke of some rumors about the Black Calamity. Every single one of them sent chills down people's spines, and then they felt their anger burn even more fiercely!
"It's alright. I have a deep understanding of the secrets of the darkness through causal deduction," Cao Ya said. When it comes to the situation of the Boundary Sea, apart from those few Quasi-Immortal Emperors, no one knows it better than him!
Even the Butcher and other Emperor Light Immortal Kings lack sufficient understanding on certain levels.
For example, the existence of Quasi-Immortal Emperors and Corpse Immortal Emperors... In fact, regarding the secrets of Corpse Immortal Emperors and Black Blood, the initial consciousness of Quasi-Immortal Emperors, and even the Corpse Immortal Emperors before their deaths, was not as strong as Cao Ya's!
Indeed, Cao Ya is no match for the Corpse Immortal Emperor.
Even at its peak, six stars can never surpass seven stars.
But a problem arises—the Immortal Emperor's initial consciousness had already foreseen this scene. To avoid harming the Boundary Sea, he proactively imposed restrictions before his death. Although the corrupted body gave birth to a second fallen consciousness, the shackles of his previous life remained, making it difficult to break free and truly interfere with the Boundary Sea.
Furthermore, the bizarre secrets, the origin of that black blood, were unknown to both the Corpse Immortal Emperor's and his consciousnesses.
The existence of the strange races and the Evil Land Plateau can only be understood by the Celestial Emperors, who are of the highest rank in the heavens.
Those supreme quasi-immortal emperors of the heavens were kept in the dark.
There's no way around it; the black blood, gray mist, and the like are too polluting. Even Immortal Emperors would find it difficult to withstand. If a Quasi-Immortal Emperor were to actively seek them out and come into contact with them... the final outcome would be unbearable to hear!
This is why Cao Ya did not reveal many secrets to the immortals.
Faced with the bizarre, even true immortals and immortal kings appear weak.
Even for a quasi-Immortal Emperor, it would be quite a stretch; only the supreme Immortal Emperor would be qualified!
“I’m going to the Boundary Sea. You all stay here and guard the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to prevent any accidents,” Cao Ya said.
“We will accompany you!” the true dragon said. “Even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor cannot be neglected!”
"The downfall of that emperor is vivid in our minds and recorded in various ancient histories, which makes people feel regretful."
"We can't help you much, but we can clear the area and relieve some of the pressure for you. We can still stop the Dark Immortal King."
The immortals all nodded, worried that something bad might happen.
Putting everything else aside, the sudden collapse of the Emperor's Era was a major event that has terrified experts in the Immortal Path for many eras!
They certainly couldn't stand by and watch the World Dao Ancestor risk his life alone!
With so many Celestial Kings and True Immortals working together—even if True Immortals are excluded, the Celestial Kings following along will always provide some assistance.
Considering the existence of the Fallen Quasi-Immortal Emperor, Cao Ya, though aware of the immortals' resolve, still refused.
Not only that, he also spent some time using the spoils of the Immortal King of Another Realm to make use of rare and precious materials and set up a divine array for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths as a precaution.
At that time, the great formation will cover the world, with the rare treasures of the universe at its core, and will be manipulated by a group of immortals... It's not that a fallen quasi-immortal emperor can't break through it, but it will take a relatively long time.
This relieved him of any worries.
Apart from that, the only person Cao Ya truly agreed to accompany him was Shi Hao.
Even Meng Tianzheng, Zhenlong, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, the Second in the World, Xianjin Daoren, Kunpeng King, Laotianjiaoyi, the Seven Kings of the Primordial Emperor Pass, and Xianseng Wang, among others, did not agree. They remained stationed in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, monitoring the universe to prevent the dark forces from launching a sneak attack that could destroy the heavens and the earth.
Lei Di, Nu Kunpeng, and other supreme beings such as Xiao Tianjiao Ant, Shi Guan Wang, Zhe Xian, Chong Tong Shi Yi, Qi Daolin, and Kunpeng Zi, needless to say, joined forces, forming groups of three or five, scattered in all directions, each obeying the command of the nearest Immortal King, assisting him in suppressing the array's core, controlling the immortal runes, and thus confronting the dark army!
Immediately afterwards, Cao Ya and Shi Hao left their homeland and went to the dam under the watchful eyes of the immortals.
"As expected, even the World Dao Ancestor can leave footprints on the dam!"
Not only were the immortals watching from afar, but experts from the Immortal Realm and other great realms were also observing and showing great concern.
The World Ancestor is the emperor of this era. Every move he makes has far-reaching consequences. No matter how glorious your realm is, you must bow your head and show your submission before the emperor.
Boundary Sea, as the name suggests, is a vast ocean where countless worlds converge.
Here, encountering strange people or things is not considered strange at all.
The supreme being of humanity must traverse the Boundary Sea, yet the journey is fraught with extreme danger.
Even true immortals face great calamities; only immortal kings are considered qualified.
Even so, the number of immortal kings who have perished in the Boundary Sea since ancient times is countless.
The Immortal Realm, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, including the Otherworld and the Burial Grounds, have seen many powerful predecessors who ventured into the Boundary Sea in search of the path to becoming a King or Emperor. However, very few returned. Most perished with their soul lamps extinguished, their deaths unknown in some corner of the Boundary Sea.
Of course, there are also some planes that are not within the boundary sea, but on the shore on the other side.
The four major realms mentioned above are all of this kind.
The dike stretched across the land like an ancient, unyielding city wall, blocking the waves of the border sea and ignoring the impact of the main road. No one could say for sure when this dike was built; according to some historical records, it existed even before the fall of the emperor.
Even giants at the Immortal King level, supreme giants, and even Emperor Light Immortal King, cannot leave the slightest trace on the dam!
Yet, along the long dike, there is a faint line of footprints leading to the border sea.
This is also empirical evidence that the sovereign of the Heavenly Court, as recorded in ancient history, did indeed exist in this world.
However, no one knows why that Heavenly Lord disappeared.
Only a few words have been passed down through multiple eras, and it seems to be related to the end of the boundary sea.
That once glorious and supreme Heavenly Court, which had shone throughout the entire era of the Fallen Emperors, also fell apart, and all the heavenly soldiers and generals perished.
"Tap tap." At this moment, footsteps sounded, with clear footprints, etched on the immortal embankment, so dazzling.
The immortals of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, as well as the heroes of the Immortal Realm and the Burial Ground, all looked up to him with awe.
Another emperor! The Dao Ancestor of the World, who in the eight wastelands and six directions can rival him?
Perhaps, he truly has a chance to break through the Boundary Sea and resolve the crisis of darkness!
Upon thinking of this, all the heroes couldn't help but get excited.
Unfortunately, as Cao Ya and Shi Hao crossed the dam and ventured deep into the Boundary Sea, the chaotic laws of the Great Dao blocked the observation of the powerful figures behind them, making it difficult for them to detect the two.
"Clang!" The Lord of the Forbidden Zone activated the great divine power that Cao Ya had specially left behind before his departure, and only then was a faint image reflected.
However, separated by the sea, it wasn't very clear; one could only make a blurry view.
However, for the viewers, they were already very satisfied with just having something to watch, and they didn't demand high-quality visuals.
"Is that the Boundary Sea?" Some Supreme Beings and True Immortals widened their eyes.
To be honest, they had never been to the Boundary Sea; they only knew about it from various rumors.
Therefore, no matter how ordinary the scene of the boundary sea was, it could still make them exclaim in surprise!
"Splash..." The towering waves were not the waves of the human world, but rather the solidification of laws and rules, and even individual planes, rolling endlessly, rippling with supreme power.
Even without riots, ordinary True Immortals must be extremely cautious when facing such a wave.
If one is not careful, even a true immortal's divine body will explode and be pierced by the huge wave!
However, this perilous "tide" was as flat as flat ground under the feet of the World Dao Ancestor and Shi Hao, without causing the slightest ripple.
Not to mention others, even the True Dragon, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, and the Immortal Monk King, who had visited the Boundary Sea many times, were all amazed.
Quasi-Immortal Emperors and Emperor Light Immortal Kings are indeed far superior to Immortal King giants!
"Alas, our strength is still insufficient," Meng Tianzheng sighed softly.
As a supreme immortal king, it was a realm he had always dreamed of but could never hope to reach in the past, but now, he was slightly lacking in that realm.
"An emperor... I don't need to be a quasi-immortal emperor, but a supreme giant, a giant, I must try!" the Thunder Emperor muttered to himself.
He was a descendant of the Thunder Spirit Clan, rose to prominence in the Immortal Ancient Era, and became one of the Ten Fiends of the Primordial Era.
His innovative "Thunder Emperor's Precious Technique" is also one of the most famous and powerful martial arts techniques!
However, after his resurrection, he gained considerable inspiration from the Dao of Thunder and Lightning through his exchanges with the World Dao Ancestor. Others also joined in, further perfecting the "Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique" and the "Thunder Spirit Treasure Technique," making them exquisite to the extreme.
Even the Thunder Emperor himself was ashamed of his inferiority in the Dao of Lightning, as the World Dao Ancestor possessed.
Therefore, after the exchange of ideas and discussions, Lei Di felt that his True Immortal cultivation had become even more powerful, surpassing even that of a Quasi-Immortal King. He was only half a step away from breaking through to become a King! Moreover, he was on the verge of becoming a giant!
"You, a descendant from a different generation, are far superior to all the previous generations of our Kunpeng clan!" The Kunpeng King sighed.
"I didn't expect that either." The female Kunpeng shook her head.
In the late Immortal Era, a dying man's final arrangement of inheritance yielded unexpected results... Who could have predicted this?
Thinking of the formidable power of the Heavenly Desolate Halberd, the female Kunpeng was filled with admiration.
Now, she is no match for the halberd in her hand.
"To be worthy of you, one would at least have to be a Celestial King or a powerful figure," the female Kunpeng thought to herself.
"Master..." The spirit of the Heavenly Desolate Halberd sensed the female Kunpeng's feelings and couldn't help but comfort her.
The female Kunpeng smiled slightly. Although she had seen the power of the World Dao Ancestor from afar, she only felt happy!
Moreover, her path to immortality is just like the Thunder Emperor's; she's practically on the verge of becoming a Celestial King. Once she breaks through, she'll instantly become a Celestial King, directly surpassing the levels of ordinary Celestial Kings and even top-tier Celestial Kings. This demonstrates just how profound the accumulation of power of a supreme Celestial Immortal is!
In later generations, they would be immortals in the mortal world.
"You also need to work hard and strive to become an immortal as soon as possible." The female Kunpeng looked at her posthumous child, still feeling somewhat guilty.
Because of her death, Kunpengzi was born prematurely before it was fully developed...
Otherwise, given the Kunpeng clan's aptitude, how could they have spent so many years to finally reach the Supreme Realm? They even had the help of the World Dao Ancestor after his rise! Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have even reached the Supreme Realm yet!
"Mother, Ancestor, rest assured, although I am far inferior to the World Dao Ancestor and have no hope of reaching the Emperor Realm, I must at least reach the True Immortal Realm. I will not disgrace the Ten Fiends of the Primordial Era!" Kunpengzi said solemnly.
“This…” Little Heavenly Horned Ant, Red Dragon Ge Gu, and Little Qilin all scratched their heads upon hearing this.
As descendants of the Ten Fiends of Antiquity, they are now no match for Kunpengzi!
As a newly promoted supreme being, Little Heavenly Horned Ant has fallen from a major realm, but it is still slightly inferior to Kunpengzi in terms of the distance between itself and the True Immortal Realm.
There's no way around it; Kunpengzi has been around for millions of years. The others are at most tens of thousands of years old. With an age difference of hundreds of times, it's already extremely difficult for them to catch up to a higher realm.
"A true immortal!" The Ten-Crown King, the Immortal, and Shi Yi with Double Pupils, among others, had resolute expressions.
Breaking through realms to become an immortal is the minimum requirement to stand at the top these days!
The World Dao Ancestor and Grand Elder Meng Tianzheng are seniors, so that's another story.
But Shi Hao... clearly of their generation, had already reached the Emperor Light Immortal King level, touching the edge of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, while they remained in the realm of humanity, not even True Immortals...
The difference between them is like heaven and earth.
As former peerless geniuses who rivaled Shi Hao, they also had pride and were unwilling to be completely left behind by Shi Hao! Even if they could no longer be on par with him, they still had to attain the realm of immortality, no matter what.
"Tsk tsk, for two cultivators from the lower realms to have reached this point... that's quite unexpected!"
The Second Under Heaven and the Immortal Golden Daoist were both amazed.
The environments of the Three Thousand Continents, Boundless Heaven, and Yu Yu Heaven are still considered favorable, yet they cannot compare to the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm...
"A truly exceptional figure, one in a million!"
Looking at the two figures in the picture, all the powerful figures were filled with admiration.
Seniority and age are secondary; on the path of cultivation, those two are the pioneers.
However, the Boundary Sea is vast, and even with the magical power of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor or an Emperor Light Immortal King, crossing it would not be a matter of a day or two.
The powerful beings guarded the light barrier, and soon, tens of thousands of years passed.
Although it seems ancient, in the Boundary Sea, it's just a blink of an eye, nothing at all.
The collapse of some planes takes millions of years to occur.
This amount of time is only enough to reveal the signs, not enough to truly destroy the world.
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are flourishing, and the supreme humanity is becoming increasingly abundant.
The number of True Immortal Realm and Immortal King Realm remains unchanged.
However, those heroes and beauties have gone much further in the Supreme Realm or True Immortal Realm, and have already explored more than half of their bodies into the realm of the next realm. They are not far from breaking through, and at most a million years later, they will definitely have a large-scale improvement!
Frankly speaking, such progress would be considered astounding even in the Immortal Realm.
However, given the precedent set by the World Dao Ancestor and Shi Hao, things fell short of expectations.
"There's movement!"
Just then, the powerful figures noticed that the scene inside the light screen had changed.
They watched intently.
Meanwhile, Cao Ya and Shi Hao, having crossed the dike and traversed the boundary sea for tens of thousands of years, had already ventured very deep into the region.
"There are far too many desolate planes," Shi Hao sighed.
Of the ten places I saw, five or six were desolate and lifeless.
Instead, a thick black mist swirled within those desolate planes.
It is obvious that the collapse of these realms is inextricably linked to the Dark Calamity.
"With the changing of eras, if the calamity at the end of the Boundary Sea is not resolved, such scenes will only increase. One day, the entire Boundary Sea will fall into silence." Cao Ya said in a heavy tone, "Perhaps, only in the dark regions will there still be fallen beings."
After speaking, Cao Ya raised his eyes and looked to the left, as if he had pierced through the fog and seen the anomaly in the distance.
"The legendary Ancient Temple of Guidance?" Shi Hao narrowed his eyes.
