649: Chapter 649 The Mysterious Yellow Barrier is Broken!

At this moment, inside Xuanhuang—

"Heavens! What happened?!"

"Has the Earth Dragon turned over? No... that's not right! The entire world is shaking!"

"Look at the sky! Is the sky cracking?!"

Billions of living beings, whether they were Cultivators in secluded Cultivate or Mortals working in the fields.

At this moment, they all felt a surge of palpitation and panic originating from the depths of their Souls. One after another, they looked up at the sky, their faces filled with horror.

The last time they had a similar feeling was during the Dark Turmoil, when the Forbidden Zone Supremes emerged to harvest lives, but that was more of a pressure from life levels.

But this time, the very Foundation of survival—the world itself—was being attacked, letting out a wail!

"What's going on?! The Forbidden Zones were flattened long ago, where does this world-ending power come from?!"

In the Eastern Region, Wang Zhan suddenly rushed out of an ancient cave where blood energy soared to the sky, looking up at the heavens.

Immortal Qi swirled around him; more than half of his Spiritual Qi had already been converted into Immortal Qi. After becoming a Great Emperor, he spent day and night comprehending the Immortal Dao.

With the help of the increasingly dense immortal spirit qi of the Xuanhuang Great World and the Cultivation Technique Gu Changge had passed to him back then, half of the spiritual power in his body had now been converted into immortal spirit qi.

His Void Immortal Realm Late Stage cultivation was fully revealed, but his face was currently as heavy as water.

"The fluctuations are coming from beyond the heavens! It's from the direction of the world barrier!"

In the Central Region, Ling Canglan tore through the Void Realm and emerged, his expression extremely solemn.

"Let's go! Go take a look!"

Xing Tianao of the Dao Zang Academy, the Southern Region's Demon Monarch, the Yuan Tiangang, as well as the newly ascended Great Emperors Heavenly Secret Master, Qing Xuzi, and others—totaling more than ten Great Emperors of the current age.

Sensing the source of the fluctuations that shook the world, they did not hesitate, turning into streaks of brilliant imperial light that tore through the sky, racing toward the world barrier.

Behind them, Quasi-Emperors like Qin Wuye and Chu Daolin, as well as the Holy Lords of various Holy Lands, heads of Desolate Ancient Families, and leaders of major forces, also realized the gravity of the situation.

Pale-faced, they followed closely behind; this was the precursor to a world-tilting disaster, and no one could remain uninvolved.

When they reached the Void Realm near the world barrier at their fastest speed, crossing endless mountains and rivers—

What they saw before them caused the pupils of these dozen-plus Great Emperors standing at the Xuanhuang Peak, as well as the many experts arriving from behind, to shrink violently. Their scalps went numb, and a chill rushed from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads!

Through the thick, crystalline world barrier that was currently rippling violently and seemed like it could shatter at any moment, they clearly "saw" the scene outside.

Within the Chaos void, warships were lined up.

Densely packed figures emitting terrifying auras were arrayed in neat formations.

They were clad in standard Immortal Armor and held cold-glinting Immortal weapons, with Immortal light swirling around them. Even the aura of a most ordinary soldier was more condensed and majestic than that of the Holy Lords and Great Powers of the Xuanhuang World!

It was a difference in quality, a crushing weight of life levels!

"True Immortals? They're all True Immortals?!" Xing Tianao's voice trembled, feeling cold all over.

"Is this what an Immortal is?"

Wang Zhan's throat moved as he murmured in a low voice, stormy waves surging in his eyes.

In his mind, the information about the Immortal Dao that Senior had passed to him when he broke through to Great Emperor instantly surfaced.

Those essential points about the Realms of True Immortal, Earth Immortal, and Heavenly Immortal were no longer empty words but had turned into the terrifying, tangible power before his eyes.

He finally truly felt the pressure of the Immortal Realm and felt the gap between himself and a True Immortal.

"And they are all True Immortal or above..."

His heart sank, his fingertips curled slightly, and then his fists clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white. Even the immortal spirit qi around him became increasingly sharp due to this extreme gravity and unwillingness.

He once thought that breaking through to Great Emperor and refining immortal spirit qi was the first step toward the Immortal path.

But only now did he understand that the progress in his eyes was still as small as dust before a True Immortal.

"What? You're saying they're Immortals?" Heavenly Secret Master asked tremblingly, and everyone's faces instantly turned as pale as paper.

Those who could come here were at least Holy Land leaders; they had seen fragmented mentions of "Immortals" in ancient texts but had only regarded them as ethereal legends.

But now, the legend had truly descended, bringing not an Opportunity, but a world-ending disaster.

Everyone completed the most cruel comparison in an instant: their side had over a dozen Great Emperors and dozens of Quasi-Emperors, who were at the Xuanhuang Peak in normal times.

But any random Immortal soldier on the opposite side could suppress their Great Emperors in a fight!

"We can't stop them, we completely can't stop them!"

Heavenly Secret Master's fingers moved frantically in calculation, his face miserable.

Once this barrier shattered, the endless terrifying army outside, with the lowest being True Immortals, would pour in like a burst flood of destruction!

At that time, what Great Emperors, what Holy Lands, what Desolate Ancient Families... before such power, they would all be like clay chickens and pottery dogs, unable to withstand a single blow!

The entire Xuanhuang Great World would likely be plundered clean in an instant, with lives devastated and civilization severed!

"Send the order immediately!" Ling Canglan held his imperial sword across his chest, his voice trembling yet exceptionally calm.

"All Holy Lands, families, and Sects, immediately withdraw your Disciples. Hide as many as you can, preserve the sparks of our existence!"

Qing Xuzi sighed deeply, his Daoist robe fluttering: "All scriptures and legacies of my Dao Zang Academy are to be sent into a Small World and sealed immediately. Even if we die, the Xuanhuang heritage must not be broken!"

Wang Zhan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all confusion had turned into an intent for a fight to the death.

The immortal spirit qi in his body surged wildly; he had already made preparations to be the first to go to his death.

"We... will stand at the very front."

"If we can block for a moment, then a moment it is."

There was no way back, no miracles, only trading lives for time.

Outside the world barrier, Immortal Lord Heiyan felt the atmosphere of despair, panic, and desperate arrangements within the Realm.

Instead of being impatient, he threw his head back and grinned savagely, his eyes filled with the playfulness of a cat catching a mouse.

"Hahaha... Do you feel the despair?"

"Struggle, cry out, make your arrangements..."

"No matter what you do, before absolute power, it is all meaningless!"

The black-red destructive Immortal light around him surged to the limit, making him look like a world-destroying demon god.

The second punch condensed his entire life's cultivation, enough to shatter a world with one blow.

He intentionally slowed down his speed, wanting to watch these "Mortal Realm Ants" inside walk toward destruction bit by bit in despair.

"For this Lord — shatter!"

This punch, carrying playfulness, ferocity, and the arrogance of crushing everything, slammed into the already crack-riddled world barrier!

On the barrier, the spiderweb cracks exploded, Chaos currents surged in, and the world Laws let out an extremely shrill wail.

All the experts of Xuanhuang looked up, their eyes filled with final tragic heroism.

Those retreating were retreating. Those defending were defending. Those fighting were preparing to fight.

But everyone had only one cold thought in their hearts:

This time, Xuanhuang is truly going to collapse.

Despair, like a thick black mist that wouldn't dissipate, completely submerged the entire world.

"Crack —!!!"

A crisp yet ear-piercing sound of shattering drowned out all the wails and panic in the world.

The Xuanhuang World barrier, covered in spiderweb cracks, finally couldn't hold out under Immortal Lord Heiyan's punch and was blasted with a ten-thousand-zhang-wide hole!

The fragments of the barrier at the edge of the hole turned into crystalline stardust filling the sky, slowly dissipating in the Chaos void.

The Chaos currents that had been strictly blocked outside, like a world-destroying flood breaking free of its shackles, surged through this hole with bone-chilling coldness and violent turbulence, frantically pouring into the Xuanhuang World!

Everywhere they passed, the Void Realm twisted, Laws snapped, and even the immortal spirit qi between heaven and earth was thrown into disarray by the Chaos currents, turning into fine points of light filling the sky.

Immortal Lord Heiyan slowly withdrew his fist, looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction, then looked down at his own fist.

He could clearly feel that at the moment his fist pierced through that membrane, the resistance he encountered was unusually tough, yet unusually... submissive?

It was as if the barrier had actively shed most of the counter-shock force at the last moment, but this thought only flashed by and was immediately submerged by the pleasure of destroying a strong enemy and plundering a Treasure Trove.

Outside the hole, the Immortal Dao army formation that had been somewhat blurred by the barrier was now presented before all the Xuanhuang experts with incomparable clarity and realism.

They could even see the cold patterns on the Immortal soldiers' armor and the indifferent or bloodthirsty expressions on the faces of those Immortal soldiers.

They could feel the pure Immortal Dao pressure, no longer blocked by anything, which felt like billions of Primeval Divine Mountains collapsing simultaneously!

"Enter."

Immortal King Mo Chen's cold command came through the hole, consisting of only one word.
