325: Chapter 325 Invasion from Another Region

Half a month later.

The borderlands of the Universe.

This was the outermost edge of the Three Thousand Dao Domains, a chaotic zone bordering the Otherworld.

Ordinarily, this was a dead, silent starry sky with no signs of life, save for the occasional passing meteor.

But today, a suffocating pressure permeated the area.

Ancient Emperor Jin Wu, Void One, Heavenly Saber Saint Ancestor, and Mysterious Ink—these four Peak Void Immortal old monsters who once shook their respective regions—were now guarding the boundary wall with solemn expressions.

They had been implanted with Slave Seals by Lu Yuan and forcibly sent to guard this place.

Though they were ten thousand times unwilling in their hearts, under the threat of death, they had to muster every bit of their focus.

"That fellow Lu Yuan said the Otherworld would invade in half a month, but I wonder if it's true..." Mysterious Ink shrunk into his tortoise shell, feeling somewhat apprehensive.

"Hmph, better to believe it than not." Heavenly Saber Saint Ancestor gripped the broken saber in his hand, his gaze dark and fierce. "If it's true, we must hold the line even if we have to sacrifice our old lives."

"If it's false..."

RUMBLE—!!!

Before he could finish his sentence, a dull, thunderous roar suddenly echoed from deep within the boundary wall.

The entire starry sky trembled violently.

The faces of the four changed drastically as they snapped their heads up to look.

They saw that the originally indestructible interface barrier was now vibrating intensely, looking like a mirror covered in cracks.

CRACK!

A crisp sound of shattering resounded through the Universe.

The boundary wall... had split open!

A massive crack, a million miles long, spanned across the starry sky like a scar on the heavens.

Immediately following, endless dark Devilish Qi gushed out from the crack like a bursting dam, instantly swallowing the starry sky of the borderlands.

That Devilish Qi was filled with an aura of tyranny, slaughter, and destruction; a single glance was enough to make one's Divine Soul sting with pain.

"They're really here!"

Ancient Emperor Jin Wu cried out in terror.

"Jie jie jie... A fresh world... Delicious blood food..."

Bursts of blood-curdling, eerie laughter drifted out from the darkness.

Then, seven figures radiating overwhelming demonic power slowly stepped across the boundary wall, descending upon this starry sky.

They were of various forms: some had three heads and six arms like demon gods; some were covered in tentacles, indescribable; some had bone wings on their backs like fallen angels.

But without exception, the aura radiating from their bodies was all... Peak Void Immortal!

Seven Peak Void Immortals!

This was the vanguard army of the Otherworld!

Hiss—

The four guardians sucked in a breath of cold air, their hands and feet feeling icy cold.

Although they were also Peak Void Immortals, there were only four of them, and they were fighting a hasty battle.

The opponents were seven, bolstered by the Laws of the Otherworld and incredibly ferocious.

How could they fight this?!

"Lu Yuan has doomed me!" Void One wailed in his heart.

But at this moment, they no longer had any path of retreat.

"Kill!"

The moment the seven Otherworld Void Immortals descended, they wasted no words and pounced directly at the four.

"Give it our all!"

Ancient Emperor Jin Wu gritted his teeth and transformed into a golden sun, charging forward to meet them.

A tragic and fierce slaughter erupted instantly.

The battle caused the heavens to collapse and the earth to rend, as stars fell from the sky.

Relying on the Formations Lu Yuan had previously set up, the four barely managed to withstand the first wave of the offensive.

But the disparity in strength was simply too great.

"Ah—!!"

After holding out for less than half an hour, Void One let out a miserable scream.

His proud Divine Ability of shifting between void and reality failed completely before an Otherworld demon god who specialized in spatial locking.

His true body was forced out, and he was immediately torn to pieces by three Otherworld Void Immortals working together; even his Primordial Spirit was devoured on the spot.

"Old Void!"

Heavenly Saber Saint Ancestor's eyes nearly split from rage as he swung his long saber frantically, slashing out streaks of peerless saber light.

But his saber was already broken, its power greatly diminished.

Puchi!

A sharp claw covered in black fur pierced through his chest and directly crushed his heart.

Heavenly Saber Saint Ancestor had fallen!

In the blink of an eye, two of the four were gone.

The remaining Ancient Emperor Jin Wu and Mysterious Ink were in even more perilous situations.

"I am not reconciled!"

Ancient Emperor Jin Wu roared in despair.

He knew he wouldn't survive.

"Since we're all going to die, I'll take one down with me!"

"Jin Wu World-Burning, Explode!"

He stopped defending and charged directly at the nearest Otherworld Void Immortal, detonating his own Void Immortal Origin.

BOOM—!!!

A massive mushroom cloud rose in the starry sky.

Though that unlucky Otherworld Void Immortal reacted extremely quickly, he was still blown to bits by the power of the self-detonation, perishing along with him.

"Madmen! They're all madmen!"

The remaining six Otherworld Void Immortals were enraged by this tragic scene, and their offensive became even more ferocious.

Although Mysterious Ink possessed unparalleled defense, under the combined attack of six experts of the same rank, that hard tortoise shell was soon covered in cracks.

CRACK!

The tortoise shell shattered.

Mysterious Ink was blasted into dust.

With that, all four of the Void Immortal old monsters guarding the pass had died in battle!

And the price they paid only managed to take out one vanguard of the Otherworld.

Hum...

In the final moment of his life, Mysterious Ink used all his strength to transmit a sliver of Divine Thought back to the Qingyun Dao Sect.

"Master... we have done our best... the Otherworld is too strong... quickly..."

Before he could finish, the Divine Thought dissipated.

"Hahaha! This is the foundation of this realm?"

The remaining six Otherworld Void Immortals stepped over the bones of the four as they moved forward, letting out arrogant laughter.

"Though their bones were quite hard, they were too weak!"

"Slaughter them all! Sacrifice this world to welcome the arrival of our King!"

They transformed into six streaks of black light, crossing the borderlands and rushing toward the heart of the Three Thousand Dao Domains.

...

Inside a secret room in the Qingyun Dao Sect.

Lu Yuan, who had been in secluded cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes.

In those eyes, there was no longer the Phenomenon of the double pupils, only a calm as deep as a galaxy, with the faint image of stars collapsing evolving within.

He sensed the dissipation of those four Slave Seals and heard Mysterious Ink's final transmission.

"Well done, you didn't embarrass me."

Lu Yuan slowly stood up, his tone flat, revealing no joy or anger.

Although he was the one who forced these four to go, the fact that they fought to the last man without fleeing could be considered fulfilling their duties.

"Since you've done your best, leave the rest to me."

Lu Yuan took a step forward.

"Xing Character Secret!"

This step was no longer a simple shrinking of the earth to an inch, but a true touch upon the ultimate peak of the Dao of Space-Time.

His figure instantly vanished from the spot, directly crossing endless spatial distances, even exceeding the speed of light.

The next instant.

The borderlands of the Universe.

The six Otherworld Void Immortals were preparing to begin their massacre when they suddenly felt an indescribable, terrifying aura descend.

There was no warning, nor was there any world-shaking explosion.

A figure in clothes as white as snow appeared abruptly before them, blocking their path.

His robes fluttered, untainted by a single speck of dust, looking completely out of place in this devastated battlefield strewn with corpses.

But with his appearance, the dark Devilish Qi that had been rampaging in this starry sky actually solidified instantly, as if it had encountered some terrifying natural enemy, shivering and not daring to move.
