212: Chapter 211 Sealing Off the Eastern Region

The battlefield in the Eastern Region was extremely tragic.

Under the pressure of such a terrifying war, one Supreme Realm expert after another was blown apart and then revived.

Almost the entire Eastern Region was shattered to pieces.

Initially, Emperor Teng fought against only one large Red-Haired Monster, but as time passed and Supreme Realm experts fell one by one, the battlefield where Emperor Teng fought showed signs of him being surrounded and killed by Red-Haired Monsters.

However, Emperor Teng's strength was exceptionally formidable.

Even when besieged by seven Red-Haired Monsters, he remained unfazed and forcibly suppressed them.

"Die!"

An immortal blade shone brilliantly upon the world.

In an instant, it slashed the lunging large Red-Haired Monster into a mist of blood.

Then, like an immortal god descending to the world, Emperor Teng's figure flickered as he forcibly blasted all six Red-Haired Monsters surrounding him into blood mist.

"Withdraw."

Amidst the soft shout,

An Immortal King on the verge of extinction was tossed out of the battle circle by Emperor Teng.

The Red-Haired Monster that had been fighting him then joined the fray to besiege Emperor Teng.

Such battles were playing out constantly elsewhere.

Martial Venerable, the Human Emperor, and various commanders forcibly made their exhausted friends and relatives withdraw from the battle circle first, even while bearing immense pressure themselves.

Time passed rapidly.

The entire Eastern Region was covered by an immortal light.

Due to the joint spellcasting of the nine Immortal Venerables, a terrifying aura rose in the Eastern Region, becoming more frightening as time went on.

"Damn you, Changsheng, hurry the hell up!"

Martial Venerable roared.

"It's been eight thousand years!"

"Do you know how I've lived through these eight thousand years?"

There weren't many Supreme Realm experts following him to begin with, and to keep them from being killed, Martial Venerable went from fighting one Red-Haired Monster to now being besieged by five.

"Look at Brother Human Emperor; he only fights three, never more."

"Then look at me. This is just my damn luck."

On the Eastern Region battlefield, the fighting had reached such a point that no Supreme Realm experts below the Venerable Realm remained; they had either died or withdrawn to heal their wounds.

Thirteen in the Venerable Realm plus one Half-Step Emperor.

They became the Eastern Region's final line of defense.

The remaining Supreme Realm experts who still had the strength to fight no longer entered the battle circle but instead assisted the nine Immortal Venerables in accelerating the condensation of the Heaven-Sealing Array.

Another thousand years passed.

Immortal Venerable Changsheng suddenly let out a thunderous roar: "Fellow Daoists, leave the Eastern Region!"

As his voice echoed,

Thirteen Peak Venerables instantly broke away from the battle circle.

Emperor Teng, however, saw that before this sealing Formation was fully perfected, a blind spot still existed. He did not head for the Eastern Region's boundary like the thirteen Peak Venerables.

Instead, he stood guard alone before the boundary.

This was to prevent the rampaging Red-Haired Monsters from disrupting the final condensation of the Heaven-Sealing Array.

"Emperor Teng, return!"

Amidst the thunderous roars of the nine Immortal Venerables,

Nine streaks of immortal light rose from various parts of the Eastern Region. Their terrifying pressure shook the Boundary Sea. After the nine divine lights rose, they quickly converged into a circle, completely enveloping the entire Eastern Region.

"Suppress..."

Following nine thunderous roars,

The Heaven-Sealing Array formed. It drew upon the power of the entire Boundary Sea, completely sealing off the Eastern Region.

Everyone stood at the source of the River of Time, the entrance between the Immortal Realm and the Boundary Sea, their expressions heavy.

"Have fifty percent of the Supreme Realm experts died?"

Emperor Teng scanned the group, and a conclusion had already formed in his heart.

This battle had been quite tragic.

In less than ten thousand years, at least fifty Supreme Realm experts had perished, and...

The Boundary Sea was also completely sealed off.

They no longer had a path forward.

Just as everyone was sighing in their hearts, a graceful figure slowly stepped out from the River of Time.

It was the Star Emperor!

After she arrived at the source of the river, her expression was somewhat somber.

"Yo, Venerable Mu, you're late. It's over." Martial Venerable greeted her, shaking off his fatigue.

The Eastern Emperor and the Human Emperor frowned deeply.

At a time like this, as the ruler of the Main World, the Star Emperor should have stayed to guard the Main World so the Cultivators in the Boundary Sea would have a path of retreat.

Her coming here was not a very wise decision.

Meanwhile, Emperor Teng seemed to know something. He shook his head slightly and sat cross-legged to one side, recovering his damaged Origin Qi.

The Star Emperor ignored Martial Venerable.

After walking to the Heaven-Sealing Array and observing it for a while, she slowly spoke: "A terrifying entity has entered the Northern Region. This Heaven-Sealing Array won't be able to stop it."

Her double pupils flickered.

A scene instantly materialized before everyone.

In the scene,

An Ancient Ship, carrying power that could destroy everything, streaked through the Boundary Sea with overbearing force. Wherever it passed, all tangible things were corroded.

They turned into bits of black mist and vanished.

The Ancient Ship was enveloped in dense black fog. Even with the strength of those present, they could not see the scene inside the ship clearly.

But judging by the ominous power emanating from it,

It was countless times stronger than what was sealed in the Eastern Sea.

"Shit... are we even allowed to live?"

Martial Venerable was furious: "Let's fight them to the death! Emperor Teng, burn your Origin. If you undergo an Sublimation of the Ultimate Realm, can you reach the Emperor Realm?"

Emperor Teng, who was recovering his Origin Qi, opened his eyes.

In that instant, an immortal light rose from his eyes as he looked toward the Northern Region.

After a long while,

Emperor Teng's brow furrowed deeply, and he spoke solemnly: "Even if I undergo an Sublimation of the Ultimate Realm, I fear it will be difficult to resolve this upheaval."

"Gather all our strength and retreat to the Chaos World; perhaps we'll have a chance," the Human Emperor said.

Immortal Venerable Changsheng shook his head slightly: "The Chaos World is too desolate. I fear it would take an unimaginable amount of time just to recover from our injuries. Let's go to the Immortal Realm. With the Ancient Heavenly Palace there, perhaps we can hold onto one last pure land."

"There's no escape."

Emperor Teng sighed, and then an intense Battle Intent revealed itself in his eyes: "There must be an Emperor-level existence on that Ancient Ship. Let us fight to the death—for the peace of future generations and the continuation of our legacies."

Hearing Emperor Teng's words,

Everyone's expression became incredibly solemn.

Emperor-level power!

That was the Realm these Supreme Realm experts dreamed of.

Immortal Venerable Changsheng walked near the Heaven-Sealing Array and also looked toward the completely sealed Eastern Region. After a long while, he spoke with a hint of sentimentality.

"I've lived for countless years and still haven't been able to glimpse the Emperor Realm. Perhaps this time I can witness it."

"Heh... Changsheng, you brat, you might have lived long enough, but I haven't. What 'Emperor' bullshit? Once we undergo our Sublimation of the Ultimate Realms, we'll beat it so hard its own mother won't recognize it."

Martial Venerable spoke dismissively.

After all these years, the chaotic Boundary Sea had actually united because of an external invasion.

It was quite ironic.

The rest of the Peak Venerables remained silent.

If all the combat power present underwent Sublimation of the Ultimate Realm, perhaps they could indeed contend with an Emperor.

But that was just wishful thinking.

Leaving aside whether these people would all sacrifice their lives, it wasn't just one existence at the Emperor level invading the Boundary Sea.

The threat of those Red-Haired Monsters still remained.

And...

Was there really only one Emperor-level powerhouse on that Ancient Ship?

Even if there were only one,

It was still not something these Supreme Realm experts could handle.

Unless they truly did as Martial Venerable said and all underwent Sublimation of the Ultimate Realm, they were destined to lose this battle.
