209: Chapter 208 Chaos in the Boundary Sea

"Who brought back the news that one can break through the Supreme Realm on The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea?"

Hearing the question...

Gu remained silent for several seconds before replying, "I don't know. This news has existed since a very, very long time ago, and it is indeed true."

"True news?"

"Yes. In that immortal and indestructible world, there is a peculiar energy that allows the force of life to sublimate, thereby achieving a higher Realm."

"There is such a thing? Then why haven't you achieved the Taboo Emperor Domain?"

"I cultivate the orthodoxy left behind by my Lord; naturally, there is no need to borrow the power of the Other Shore to achieve a false Realm." Gu spoke with great pride, as if remembering something.

It suddenly looked up.

After staring at Ye Xiu for several seconds, it spoke again: "My Lord died, but his true spirit is indestructible. This return might allow you to fulfill the great wish of that year."

"..."

Ye Xiu was somewhat speechless. "Can you really not see the depth of my strength?"

An expert who had nearly stepped into the Taboo Emperor Realm...

...could not possibly fail to see his true background. Even if he really was the Reincarnation of the Lord of Guixu, fulfilling some so-called great wish with his current strength? Don't be ridiculous.

Gu said respectfully, "My Lord's true spirit is indestructible; recovering to your Peak state is only a matter of time. I do not dare to speculate at will."

"You are indeed a loyal subject, unlike Ming—that old man is full of bad intentions."

Ye Xiu chuckled.

The Gu before him was far better in attitude than that old fellow Ming.

That old ghost was definitely up to no good.

However, since Ming had helped him when he was weak, as long as things hadn't reached the point of a complete falling out, he wouldn't take the initiative to sour their relationship.

Once his strength reached the Taboo Emperor Realm, certain things would naturally become clear.

So he was in no hurry.

Ming?

Gu was somewhat puzzled. Could a civil official have lived until today?

With a hint of doubt...

...it asked, "My Lord, Ming is still alive?"

"Yes, he's alive. That old ghost stayed in Guixu all this time and only walked out in recent years."

"Guixu? That is the burial place of my Lord's main physical remains. It is indeed possible for the Origin power of some supreme experts to reconsolidate there."

Gu spoke in a tone that suggested this explained everything.

It then continued, "Since my Lord has returned, that item lent out to the Immortal Realm should still be retrieved."

"What item?"

"I do not know. But after my Lord returned from the Other Shore, he went to the Immortal Realm immediately. After leaving an item there, he entered the Main World and transformed into Guixu, waiting for the true spirit to return once more."

Hearing Gu's answer...

...Ye Xiu's frown deepened.

From this known information, quite a few things could be analyzed.

The Lord of Guixu must have met the Heavenly Emperor.

The news that one could achieve a level above the Supreme Realm on The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea was definitely passed down by either the Heavenly Emperor or the Lord of Guixu.

The purpose was simple.

In the great war on The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea, they needed fresh blood to join the fray.

And within the Immortal Realm...

...perhaps some things were left behind to motivate successors, making them yearn for The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea.

As for what was left behind...

...Ye Xiu didn't know for the moment.

But those things were very likely left by the Lord of Guixu.

Roar...

The Red-Haired Monster let out a low roar nearby.

Pulling back his thoughts...

...he looked at Gu and asked, "Do you know what the situation is with these Red-Haired Monsters?"

Gu shook its head slightly. "These things seem to have always existed on The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea. As for the specific situation, we can only know after my Lord has fully recovered."

"Forget it, never mind that. For now, the priority is still finding the Three Venerables of the Southern Region. As for the Other Shore, going there won't change anything."

Ye Xiu stopped worrying about the matters of The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea.

No matter how urgent it was there, with his level as a Half-Step Emperor, going would be useless.

Only when the two laws merged...

...and both the Immortal Ascension Method and the Heaven and Earth Law entered the Taboo Emperor Domain, would he perhaps possess the combat power sufficient to change the situation on The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea.

As for now...

...it was best to handle the matters at hand.

...

...

Northern Region of the Boundary Sea.

A large Red-Haired Monster, leading dozens of ordinary Red-Haired Monsters, walked out of the Land of No Law and entered the Boundary Sea.

Instantly...

...the Northern Region, already in the midst of war, began to be bathed in blood.

Living beings wailed as countless Domains shattered one by one. These Red-Haired Monsters scattered, and with the posture of world-destroyers, they frantically destroyed every area that possessed life.

Except for certain extremely powerful supreme experts...

...almost all living beings were directly slaughtered, finding it difficult to offer even a bit of resistance.

The Red-Haired Monsters were like a plague of locusts; wherever they passed, not a blade of grass remained.

The Northern Region was in upheaval.

Countless forces fled one after another, wanting to escape this unprecedented disaster.

But those eerie Red-Haired Monsters...

...had no intention of letting them go. As time passed, the entire Northern Region was completely exterminated, and the Domains that were originally filled with the aura of life were transformed into Dead Realms.

Upon receiving the news, the Southern Region wasted no words; the entire population evacuated, fleeing toward the Western Region.

After all, the Western Region had Emperor Teng presiding over it.

The supreme experts originally from the Southern and Northern Regions had already sought refuge under Emperor Teng's command in the Western Region within a hundred years of the Red-Haired Monsters' emergence.

With the top combat power of two regions moving in...

...Emperor Teng, who had originally been holding the fort alone, also relaxed considerably. Now, the strength of the Western Region, after the top combat powers of the two regions had entered, reached an inconceivable level.

There were no fewer than a hundred supreme experts alone.

Among them, there were nearly ten Cultivators who had reached the Venerable Realm. If one added Emperor Teng's own Half-Step Emperor strength, they indeed had the ability to fight against the attacking Red-Haired Monsters.

"Emperor, those monsters have already slaughtered the Southern Region and are currently heading toward the Western Region."

"What does the Eastern Region say?"

Sitting on his imperial throne, Emperor Teng showed a solemn expression for the first time.

Red-Haired Monsters were immortal and indestructible.

The number coming this time was extremely large, and there was even a large Red-Haired Monster that rivaled his own strength.

If the Boundary Sea could not unite as one this time...

...it was feared the entire group would be wiped out here.

"The Eastern Region's intentions are unclear. Martial Venerable and the other commanders have no intention of coming to provide support."

"Then notify the people below to prepare. Take everything that can be taken and head to the Eastern Region."

Emperor Teng made the decision immediately.

He would not stay in this place to block the swarm of Red-Haired Monsters.

Taking everyone and retreating to the Eastern Region to gather the power of the entire Boundary Sea was the most advantageous move.

Otherwise, if they fought head-on...

...although they could hold them off for some time, they definitely couldn't hold for too long.

After all, those monsters were immortal and indestructible, while the Cultivators on their side would only decrease with every death.

The longer the battle dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for the Western Region.

Either fight to the death or run.

Between these two choices, Emperor Teng decided to run.

As long as everyone went to the Eastern Region, they could almost leverage the power of the entire Boundary Sea.
