834: Chapter 826 Purple Bamboo Breakthrough

Xuan Yangzi's expression turned completely solemn, and he nodded slowly. "What Purple Bamboo said is indeed true."

"If even a Clone is so terrifying, the day his true body breaks free will be the true doomsday for the Immortal Domain."

The gratification on the faces of the veteran powerhouses, including Heavenly Emperor Taichu, Immortal Emperor Zhantian, and the Qilin Demon King, completely faded away, replaced by deep wariness and solemnity.

On the battlefield, the billions of soldiers whose morale had been high now reined in their joy, their hearts feeling heavy.

The relief of surviving the disaster faded completely, replaced by endless vigilance toward the impending catastrophe of the future.

The atmosphere of the entire Void Realm instantly shifted from the warmth of post-war Rebirth to the oppressive tension of an impending storm.

Daoist Taichu looked toward that pitch-black, silent territory of the Black Abyss deep within the Chaos, and spoke in a deep voice once more:

"In my opinion, we should immediately order the entire army to withdraw back to the Immortal Domain proper."

"We must consolidate the combat power of the entire domain, repair the barriers of heaven and earth, lay down a sure-kill grand array, and build up our strength to defend the Immortal Domain with everything we have.

Wait for the Ancestor to make his move. Only in this way will we have a sliver of hope for survival."

This was the safest, most conservative method of resisting enemies, and one that the Immortal Domain had followed for millions of years.

Everyone present nodded in agreement with this strategy.

In the face of an absolute catastrophic threat, holding their ground and waiting for battle was the only foolproof plan in everyone's minds.

However, Gu Changge shook his head slightly upon hearing this. There was not a hint of fear in his eyes, only a cold, indifferent disdain for the darkness.

Looking at the solemn powerhouses, he spoke slowly in a calm voice:

"Withdrawing and defending is not as good as..."

Right at that moment—

"Rip!"

The Void Realm of Chaos at the edge of the battlefield was violently torn open by several incomparably powerful yet clearly hurried and anxious bursts of Emperor Might!

Ten figures, like ten burning meteors, charged out boldly with a tragic Aura of fighting to the death!

The two leading them were none other than Shi Wanshan and Li Moran!

The two of them surged with Immortal Emperor pressure, yet it carried the unstable fluctuations of a recent Breakthrough. Clearly, they had rushed over immediately after breaking through without even taking the time to consolidate their Realms.

Behind them were the other peak masters of the Azure Profound Sect and several senior Elders. Without exception, every single one of them had broken through to the Immortal Emperor Realm!

Ten newly ascended Immortal Emperors!

In order to make their Breakthroughs in time, they had risked their lives in the rear Forbidden Ground. The moment they stabilized their Immortal Emperor Realm, they rushed over with all their might, with only one thought in their minds: if they were late, it would be too late!

"Sect Master, Changge, everyone, hold on! We are here!"

However, when the ten of them clearly saw the scene before them, their sky-soaring Battle Intent and tragic resolve instantly froze on their faces.

Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, tattered flags and broken halberds, lingering smoke... but there was no sign of the fiercely fighting enemies they had expected.

There were only the Immortal Domain allied forces silently cleaning up the battlefield, and all the Immortal Domain powerhouses and billions of soldiers, whose gazes had simultaneously fallen upon these ten newly ascended Immortal Emperors who had suddenly barged in.

Daoist Purple Bamboo's pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Is that Shi Wanshan?"

Another ten Immortal Emperors?

Daoist Purple Bamboo stared fixedly at Shi Wanshan's group, the shock in his eyes churning like a tempest once more.

Is this the current foundation of the Azure Profound Sect?

In the distance, Shi Wanshan and the others stiffened. The battle... was over?

Moreover, looking at the scale of the Black Abyss demon corpses littering the ground, it seemed to be an unimaginably grand victory?

The ten newly ascended Immortal Emperors looked at each other, the light of the divine weapons in their hands flickering. Their surging blood and resolve to die suddenly had nowhere to be directed.

After a long pause, Shi Wanshan swallowed hard and smiled bitterly. "Are we late?"

Gu Changge's gaze swept over the ten newly ascended Immortal Emperors, whose Auras were still unstable but whose Battle Intent was surging.

In a deep voice, he said, "Not late. You arrived just in time. Follow me to charge into the Black Abyss Realm."

As soon as he spoke, the entire field went into an uproar.

The pupils of the veteran powerhouses all shrank, their faces filled with disbelief.

Charging into the heart of the Black Abyss?

That was the home nest of the Black Abyss, which had oppressed the Immortal Realm for millions of years, and the dwelling place of the Progenitor of the Black Abyss. It was filled with treacherous lands and lurking dangers!

Daoist Purple Bamboo immediately stepped forward, his expression filled with urgency and confusion as he voiced his objection:

"Changge, are you serious? The territory of the Black Abyss is heavily fortified with Restrictions everywhere. There must be other powerhouses inside.

Moreover, the Ancestor's true body is lurking in the Forbidden Ground. The level of danger far exceeds that of the frontline battlefield. Rushing in blindly is by no means a wise move!"

Heavenly Emperor Taichu, Xuan Yangzi, and the others also chimed in, advising him one after another. In their view, they should first hold their ground and rest after a great victory; actively invading the enemy's nest was no different from putting oneself in mortal danger.

Gu Changge stood with his hands behind his back, his white robes rustling in the wind of the Void Realm. A vast pressure slowly spread around him, his tone calm yet carrying an unstoppable sharpness:

"It is impolite not to return the favor. If we blindly defend passively, it will only allow the root of the trouble to remain, leaving endless future disasters."

Waiting for the enemy to come to his door and taking beatings passively had never been Gu Changge's style.

Shi Wanshan was startled at first, but he reacted in the next instant. The hot blood that had built up during his journey was instantly ignited completely, and he roared in a rough, heroic voice:

"Good! That's exactly how we should do it!"

Li Moran followed closely behind, his eyes flashing with sharp light as he echoed loudly:

"We risked everything to break through our Realms and rush here precisely to fight the demons together. Now is the perfect time to strike straight at their heart and turn their world upside down!"

Instantly, the Battle Intent of the entire field boiled over.

Beside them, Daoist Purple Bamboo, who had been deeply worried all along, suddenly took a deep, long breath of turbid air.

This breath seemed to exhale all the fatigue, oppression, and shackles of guarding the front lines for millions of years.

The originally stable and heavy Heavenly Emperor Aura around his body suddenly began to fluctuate violently!

An invisible Dao sound rumbled and exploded from within his body. The Heavenly Emperor Dao laws that had been solidified for ages actually loosened, shattered, and underwent Rebirth layer by layer at this moment.

Golden ripples rose in layers in the Void Realm around him, and countless fine Great Dao patterns wrapped around his body. The Bottleneck shackles that had lingered for millions of years were cracking inch by inch!

In the next moment, Daoist Purple Bamboo suddenly opened his eyes!

Two extremely brilliant divine lights burst from his eyes, breaking through layers of haze and piercing through the entire Void Realm!

His previous solemnity, worry, and composure completely faded away, replaced by a sky-soaring spirit that broke through ancient shackles and filled the heavens with heroic pride!

"I need three days of secluded cultivation to stabilize my dao foundation!"

Daoist Purple Bamboo's voice carried unprecedented certainty and majestic confidence:

"In three days, I will completely break through my shackles and ascend above the Heavenly Emperor!"

Daoist Purple Bamboo had guarded the Black Abyss front line for millions of years, shedding blood countless times and wandering between life and death. He had long reached the absolute peak of the Heavenly Emperor Realm.

The depth of his accumulation was unmatched by anyone.

Now that the enemies were completely wiped out, and having witnessed the battle between Gu Changge and the Progenitor of the Black Abyss, he finally attained Perfection today!

The golden Dao patterns that had been gently flowing around the will of the immortal domain suddenly boiled violently and surged!

The light and shadow became unprecedentedly solid and bright: "Purple Bamboo! Have you really reached that step?!"
