The New World is a desolate dead zone forgotten by the laws.
The fragments of the avenue here had long been completely wiped out in the battle between the Immortal Emperors. Unhealable cracks remained in the space, all things withered, and even the most basic vitality was exhausted and cut off.
However, today, this eternally silent area is undergoing a dramatic change that is even more terrifying than the fall of the Immortal Emperor.
Somewhere in the void, a previously insignificant spatial node began to collapse without warning. At first, it was just a thin black line, as if someone had scratched a line on a scroll with a fingernail. Then, the black line suddenly expanded, forming a huge, bottomless vortex.
It wasn't darkness, but a complete negation of light and reason. A pure concept of "end," materialized in the material world.
The aura of the Law of the End, so dense it could freeze time and space, surged madly from the vortex. It didn't spread, but instead assimilated everything around it. A thousand-year-old tree, whose roots had managed to survive the might of the Immortal Emperor, was instantly wiped from existence the moment it was touched by this aura, skipping even the process of turning to ash.
The devastated mountains in the distance silently melted away. The earth wailed at the level of laws, then collapsed. Time lost its linearity here, sometimes stagnating, sometimes leaping through eons.
Such a doomsday scene eventually attracted some daring peepers.
"Hmph, wealth and honor are sought through danger! With such a cosmic shift, a treasure is bound to emerge!" A magnate, newly ascended to the Immortal King realm, glowed with immortal light, brimming with confidence in his newly condensed Immortal King Dao Fruit. His name was Zhao Wuji, a dominant figure in the New World. He cautiously approached with a few followers.
"Ancestor is so mighty! Such an opportunity belongs to you alone!" The followers behind him hurriedly praised him.
Zhao Wuji was very pleased. He cautiously stopped ten thousand miles away, summoned a protective magic treasure, and watched from afar. He was sure that this distance was safe enough.
At this moment, an almost invisible breath of the end escaped from the vortex and floated in front of him.
"No……"
The elation on Zhao Wuji's face froze in an instant, and he only managed to utter a single syllable of despair. The next moment, his prideful Immortal King Dao Fruit, his indestructible Immortal King body, and even his eternal soul, simply vanished into thin air.
There was no explosion, no sound, completely and cleanly cut off from the line of cause and effect, both body and soul were annihilated.
The few followers behind him who were still flattering him, their flattering smiles still lingering, witnessed their ancestor vanish into thin air. One of them felt his legs go weak and he fainted from fright.
This scene caused all the secretly observing divine thoughts to quickly retreat in panic. They finally understood that the vortex was an absolute forbidden zone that no living being could touch.
It was at this moment.
A black figure stepped on the void and appeared silently in front of the whirlpool.
It was Gu Changqing.
He calmly gazed at the terrifying entrance that could disintegrate the Immortal King, sensing the final law that would cause all things to wither. His face was devoid of any solemnity, instead revealing a hint of amusement.
He could clearly feel that the [Mark of the Law of the End] deep in the origin of his soul was resonating violently with this entrance, as if the king had seen his own exclusive royal path.
This was exactly the ancient secret passage leading to the Land of the End that the Gu Family's ancestor had mentioned. Because of his interaction with the forbidden will, because of that mark, it had been completely activated.
[Ding! The system is analyzing the entrance to the 'Land of the End (outskirts)'...]
[Analysis: The entrance is in an extremely unstable state, its interior filled with the original laws of beginning and end. Any living being not recognized by the concept of 'end' will be instantly decomposed.]
[Judgment: This channel is exclusive to the host.]
The corner of Gu Changqing's mouth curled up into a cold and cruel arc.
Exclusive channel? He was very satisfied with this statement.
In his eyes, all the dangers in this world are nothing more than "investments" that have not yet been priced. The higher the risk, the greater the return.
And how rich would the return be for “investing” in the Land of End itself?
He slowly walked towards the vortex of death that even the Immortal King dared not approach.
A new hunting ground has opened.
And he is the only hunter.
