648: Chapter 648 Let them come!

At the summit of Zizhu Peak, Gu Changge stood with his hands behind his back. His gaze was not fixed on the approaching enemies, but instead slowly swept across the vast and boundless Xuanhuang Great World beneath his feet, which was now teeming with vitality.

His vision passed over the dense mountain forests of the Eastern Barrens, the towering ancient cities of the Central Plains, the Ten Thousand Mountains of the Southern Region, the frozen snow kingdoms of the Northern Plains, and the endless desert seas of the Western Desert...

It passed over every living being, whether they were in bitter cultivation or blissfully ignorant.

"Senior Brother, you only see the act of repelling the enemy."

Gu Changge's voice remained flat, yet it carried a depth that seemed to pierce through the ages.

"Do you see what the world looks like in the eyes of the masses after the revival of Xuanhuang?"

Xuan Yangzi was slightly startled and looked toward the living beings of Xuanhuang.

He saw Great Emperors buried in thought, and he saw Cultivators blindly practicing, believing that the Great Emperor realm was the ultimate end. He also saw countless mortal beings completely unaware of the impending disaster...

Comfort, or rather, a kind of ignorance like a frog in a well, still permeated the Luck of this world.

"We have blocked too many storms for them."

No joy or anger could be heard in Gu Changge's voice, only a calm statement of fact.

"Look, Xuanhuang is undergoing a transformation. Its Origin is becoming more majestic by the day, and its Spiritual Qi is transforming into Immortal Qi.

This is a sign of a world evolving into an Immortal Domain. Such a phenomenon cannot be hidden from those who are truly observant.

Today, it is only trash like the Hundred Immortals Alliance that comes. What about tomorrow? Perhaps it will be an Immortal Sovereign, an Immortal Venerable, or perhaps even more ancient and greedy existences."

"This path must ultimately be walked by Xuanhuang itself."

His voice was calm, yet it carried a detachment that saw through the eons.

"Currently, Xuanhuang has begun to give birth to new Emperors; they stand at the current peak of this world."

Gu Changge continued, his tone carrying a hint of guidance.

"But do they know that above the Great Emperor, there is still a long Immortal Road? Do they know that the Immortal Domain is not a legend, but a real battlefield where danger and opportunity coexist?

Do they know that the cultivation they take pride in might be no different from ants in the eyes of the truly powerful?"

"Without knowing the vastness of the outside world, without knowing the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, they will be content with the status quo, trapped in a shallow pond.

Only by letting them see with their own eyes and feel with their own bodies the terror sufficient to crush the world can they truly understand.

The so-called Great Emperor is merely the starting point of the Dao path, and the so-called Xuanhuang is but a lonely boat in the boundless Chaos."

Gu Changge's voice suddenly turned cold, carrying an unquestionable decisiveness:

"With awe comes direction; with crisis comes the ability to move forward. Therefore, let them come!"

Xuan Yangzi's whole body shook, and he instantly understood Gu Changge's deep meaning.

Whether a civilization can establish itself and grow strong in the Chaos where the weak are prey to the strong does not depend on the protection of a single person.

Rather, it depends on whether it possesses the courage to look up at the stars, the wisdom to recognize reality, and an unyielding backbone forged in blood and fire.

The sharp urge to annihilate the enemy in his chest gradually settled, replaced by a heavier yet grander realization.

Xuan Yangzi took a deep breath, his mind suddenly clearing as the last trace of doubt vanished.

He slowly lowered his arms. The majestic Immortal Lord Aura around him did not dissipate but instead became restrained and settled, transforming into a more steady and resilient Battle Intent.

He turned to face the countless eager, sharp, and trusting eyes behind him, his voice steady as it reached the entire army:

"Pass the order: everyone to their positions, watch the situation unfold. Do not move without orders."

"In this battle, we want Xuanhuang to see the storm with its own eyes, and then, tear it apart with its own hands!"

The Disciples understood instantly upon hearing this. They collectively restrained their Auras, and the formation remained motionless, only the Battle Intent in their eyes grew more intense.

The Great Ancestor's Immortal King pressure was faintly present, intertwining with the Auras of Xuan Yangzi and the others. They silently watched the storm outside; no one dared to make the slightest move.

At this moment, outside the Xuanhuang Great World, in the Void Realm of Chaos, the shadow of the Hundred Immortals Alliance army completely enveloped the edges of the Xuanhuang Great World.

Immortal King pressure suppressed the world like two heavy prisons, the Immortal Lord Aura surged like a raging sea, and the Heavenly Immortal spiritual light wove into a sky full of radiant clouds.

Earth Immortal Realm Cultivators were arrayed like a forest, with three thousand True Immortals forming the sharpest core.

The warships slowly came to a halt in the Chaos not far from the Xuanhuang Great World.

Leading them were Immortal King Mo Chen and Immortal King Zi Ting, along with several core Immortal Lords, standing atop the flagship.

They stared with burning eyes at the world before them, which was slowly bobbing in the Chaos and emitting an enticing glow.

"Immortal Qi, it really is the flow of Immortal Qi!"

A red-haired Immortal Lord took a deep breath, greed surging in his eyes.

This was no mere fledgling Immortal Domain; this was clearly an untapped Treasure Trove. Once controlled, the Hundred Immortals Alliance would surely soar to the heavens.

Immortal King Mo Chen stood with his hands behind his back atop the warship. His fingertips lightly touched the world barrier, and his immortal power quietly probed inward. His expression became increasingly solemn, yet also more excited:

"What a strong barrier! The evolution of this world is far faster than imagined. This barrier's strength can actually barely withstand the impact of the Immortal King realm!"

Thunder flashed in Immortal King Zi Ting's eyes, his tone urgent: "Since the foundation is confirmed, what are we waiting for? Attack and take control of this world!"

"Hahaha, well said!" Immortal King Mo Chen laughed loudly, his ambition laid bare in his eyes.

He turned and gave an order to a burly Immortal Lord beside him, who was clad in black armor and possessed a fierce Aura.

"Heiyan, I give you the time of one incense stick to tear an opening in this world's barrier for me! It must be large enough for my army to pass through smoothly!"

"By the Immortal King's command!" Immortal Lord Heiyan grinned cruelly and stepped forward from the crowd.

He cultivated the most rigid and fierce Law of Destruction, specializing in breaking through defenses.

With one step, he reached the barrier of the Xuanhuang World. Black-red destruction immortal light surged wildly around him, condensing on his right fist.

That fist instantly seemed to transform into a small black hole that swallowed light, emitting an Aura of total destruction.

"Open for me—!"

Immortal Lord Heiyan roared, and without any fancy tricks, he threw a punch!

BOOM—!!!

An extremely dull and heavy explosion did not propagate through the Chaos, but instead erupted directly at the level of the Xuanhuang Great World's heavenly Laws!

The entire Xuanhuang Great World shuddered violently!

It wasn't an earthquake or a tsunami, but the world itself being struck hard by an unimaginable force from the outside!

The entire world shook simultaneously!

High above, the sky flickered between light and dark, and the chains of Law let out a groan as if unable to bear the burden.

Visible distorted ripples spanning the horizon radiated wildly across the entire world, centered from the point of impact!

At this moment, at the summit of Zizhu Peak, the world will of the Xuanhuang Great World had transformed into a hazy ball of light, nestling beside Gu Changge.

The ball of light trembled slightly, actually conveying an indescribable sense of grievance, as if complaining about this sudden catastrophe.

Gu Changge lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the hazy ball of light. His tone was softer than ever as he whispered, "Be good. Without destruction, there can be no creation."

Under this comfort and promise, the trembling of the ball of light slowly settled down.
