Chapter 1312: The Ancient Immortal Arrives!
Chapter 1312: The Ancient Immortal Arrives!
The entire Imperial Capital, the entire Great Domain, and even most of Wanggu...
In that instant, all fell into relative silence.
Though ordinary cultivators of the myriad races couldn't perceive what was happening in the Human Race's Great Domain, the solemnity and oppressive pressure permeating the heavens, combined with the Quasi-Immortal-level experts' divine sense that could cover the entire continent, caused the very winds and clouds to shift.
This weight settled into the hearts of all living beings, becoming an unbearable burden.
An instinctive tremor, beyond control, rose within them.
As for the powerful - or those who used special means to perceive what was happening in the Human Race's airspace - their minds now thrummed with shock, their scalps tingling with disbelief.
They could sense the cosmos thickening, its laws and principles collapsing in an instant.
Their inner turmoil felt like a million thunderclaps exploding simultaneously.
Unbelievable. Unthinkable.
"Eleven... Quasi-Immortals!"
"Eleven... Great Emperors!"
"Each one clearly the strongest within the Great Emperor realm!"
"They... all seem to be of the Human Race."
Among the powerful beings across the myriad races of Wanggu who perceived this scene, a profound sense of unreality rose in their hearts.
After all, before this moment, within the myriad races of the Wanggu Continent, the strongest had been the Sovereigns, while the Empress was a Godānot a cultivator.
As for cultivators... in these past tens of thousands of years, there had only been one Quasi-Immortal-level cultivatorāthe Swordsage Great Emperor.
And even he was from the Dark Serenity Era.
One could say that after the Dark Serenity Era, there had been no more Quasi-Immortals!
But today... even if the Holy Land having a Quasi-Immortal was tolerable, these eleven newcomers were mysterious and unfathomable, each a Chosen, shaking Wanggu to its core.
Even the Gods of the powerful clans and the Empress herself felt their hearts churn with unease.
What made these Gods, powerful beings, and even the Empress's heart surge with turmoil most of all was the words spoken by the final Great Emperor to appear!
Those words contained the phrase "my lord"!
These two words brought the Empress and the others a shock surpassing all previous revelations.
They made all the Gods vigilant, and the Empress's pupils contracted sharply.
They instinctively tried to imagine what kind of existence could be the master of these eleven peerless Great Emperors!
Such a master must possess unimaginable glory and supreme authority!
Moreover... there was another explosive revelation in those words.
Along the way, their master had been intercepted by multiple God Lords!
This statement plunged the Gods of Wanggu's various clans into a trance.
Though the cultivators of Wanggu knew not the meaning of "God Lord," for the Gods, this concept was etched into their divine souls.
They understood what a God Lord was, and comprehended the level such a being represented.
Such entities existed in realms beyond comprehension.
Throughout Wanggu's history, even during the era of the Brilliant Heaven God Clan, there had only ever been one such being:
The God Emperor of the Brilliant Heaven God Clan!
Now, according to the last arriving Great Emperor, their master... had been intercepted by multiple God Lords!
All factions of Wanggu were left utterly speechless.
In this profound silence, the Empress gazed upon the eleven terrifying Great Emperors before her. Her eyes lingered on Zhou Zhengli, and after a moment of hesitation, she spoke in a low voice.
"Esteemed Daoist, might I inquire after your master?" Zhou Zhengli, bearing the refined demeanor of an aristocratic young master, responded with a gentle smile.
"The master's name is not one we should disclose in advance," came the reply. "When he arrives, you shall recognize him."
These words struck the Empress like a sudden blow. Her mind raced through all her memories, but no matter how she searched, she found no one who matched this description.
She was about to press further when Zhou Zhengli's brow furrowed. He gazed into the distance and spoke calmly:
"Qian Jun and Bi Yi Retreat!"
The four words hung in the air, but the two Immortal Swords transformed Qian Jun and Bi Yi, ignored them and continued flying. Wherever they passed, immortal light flashed, their sword glares shaking heaven and earth. Within the swords, two brothers bickered incessantly.
"Brother, these people are so weak."
"It's not that they're weak, we're just too strong, ha ha ha ha!"
"Ha ha ha ha, you're right! But Brother, this place has such strange energy. That thing up there is the Eminent Desolation."
"Don't look at him, we can't afford to offend him! Hey, brother, we're being called, should we pay attention to this?"
"Reason? What reason?" Zhou Zhengli's face remained smiling as he watched the two swords still circling about, ignoring his words. He produced a recording jade slip and spoke softly, "On our return journey, I suggested my lord grant me authority to document your actions. Since you insist, I shall record this."
As he spoke, the jade slip opened. In the next instant... the Immortal Sword forged from Qian Jun and Bi Yi Retreat materialized before Zhou Zhengli with a flash, its aura radiating palpable frustration.
Zhou Zhengli's expression remained gentle, his voice like spring breeze. "I command you two to patrol the eastern and western domains of Wanggu, exterminating all Holy Land Quasi-Immortals!"
"Wang Peng, Blood Cloud Daoist, I command you two to patrol the southern and northern domains of Wanggu, with the same directive!"
Wang Peng grinned widely, while Blood Cloud Daoist licked his lips. They acknowledged the command and vanished in twin gusts of wind, one heading north, the other south.
Qian Jun and Bi Yi Retreat seethed with suppressed anger. Their greatest fear was Xu Qing, but with no alternative, they could only disperse in opposite directions, their movements charged with resentment.
The four figures moved like lightning, their passage shaking the heavens and warping the void as they hunted the Holy Land Quasi-Immortals they considered fragile prey.
This scene stirred a mix of tension and excitement among the Human Race below.
Though they didn't know these people's origins or their master's identity, the behavior of these Chosen Ones suggested they might not be enemies!
Zhou Zhengli, smiling, was about to continue his arrangements when...
A sudden change occurred!
A thunderous snort shook the heavens, its sound surpassing that of celestial lightning, shaking the entire Wanggu.
All living beings trembled violently, their minds reeling as they looked skyward.
Zhou Zhengli and the others' expressions turned grave as they too raised their heads.
The source of that snort lay beyond the celestial dome!
At the edge of the sky, the void seemed to solidify, a chilling silence spreading outward like ink in water.
Within this deathly stillness, a force capable of crushing all worlds erupted like a primordial volcano, descending with cataclysmic fury!
The Ancient Immortal beyond Wanggu... had chosen to descend!
At first, only an indistinct outline appeared, yet it carried the weight of the entire cosmos. The void itself distorted and shattered as if a massive stone had plunged into a tranquil lake.
As each contour of the Ancient Immortal's figure materialized, the very laws of existence around him were utterly torn apart.
Terrifying black fissures spread outward like the gaping maws of colossal beasts, emitting bone-chilling shrieks that made the scalp prickle with dread.
With each step he took, the entire Wanggu realm convulsed violently.
The wind howled like a doomsday judge, sweeping everything in its path. Its ferocity carved half the height from majestic mountains, reducing crumbling boulders to fine dust before they could hit the ground, scattering the particles across a world on the verge of collapse.
Rivers, lakes, and seas fared even worse.
As if crushed by an invisible giant's hand, they churned into towering waves that crashed against shores, annihilating coastal defenses. The surging waters threatened to engulf the entire continent.
The spectacle was awe-inspiring!
The Ancient Immortal's arrival sounded the death knell for all life in Wanggu.
In this moment, chaos reigned. Countless species trembled, and all living beings shook in fear!
The hope brought by the Eleven Great Emperors' descent was crushed in an instant!
......
