835: Chapter 827 The Reason for the Shattering of the Immortal Realm

At this moment, the Dao sound of the will of the immortal domain was laden with endless sorrow, extreme ecstasy, and bone-chilling disbelief.

It also carried a trace of excitement that was almost like weeping blood, booming across the entire Void Realm!

The billions of soldiers and the veteran powerhouses present were all profoundly shaken.

Above the Heavenly Emperor!

Purple Bamboo, who had guarded the Immortal Domain for millions of years, was actually going to break through the shackles and step into a brand-new Realm that no one in the Immortal Domain had ever reached!

In an instant, burning hope ignited in the hearts of countless people.

The threat posed by the shattering of the Progenitor of the Black Abyss's Clone, the existential crisis hanging over the heads of all living beings, seemed to finally have a chance of being resolved at this moment.

Gu Changge suppressed the current era and was invincible in his time; now, with Purple Bamboo breaking through the shackles of the Heavenly Emperor and ascending to a brand-new Realm.

With these two supreme powerhouses joining forces, even if the main body of the Progenitor of the Black Abyss returned, the Immortal Domain might still have the strength to fight, or even a great hope of completely turning the tables and eradicating the demonic scourge!

Light rekindled in the eyes of countless people, with the relief of surviving a catastrophe and expectations for the future intertwining and surging.

Yet, in an instant, the ecstasy and excitement in everyone's hearts were quietly suppressed by an inexplicable doubt.

Everyone's gaze did not linger for long on Purple Bamboo, who was undergoing the Breakthrough and transformation, but instead focused collectively on that violently trembling golden light and shadow.

Purple Bamboo's Breakthrough of the Heavenly Emperor shackles was a massive joyous event for the Immortal Domain; it should have been celebrated by heaven and earth, with auspicious Dao sounds.

But the reaction of the will of the immortal domain was truly too extreme, too abnormal.

Those endlessly boiling Dao patterns, that out-of-control and discomposed light and shadow, and especially the lingering, heavy sorrow deep within that Dao sound.

It did not resemble a celebration at all; it was more like a tearful, moving realization after looking back at the regrets of eternity and finally finding release.

"Senior, why are you...?"

The Taichu Heavenly Emperor furrowed his brows tightly, his eyes filled with thick confusion and bewilderment, and spoke in a deep voice.

He had lived for millions of years and had never seen such an emotional reaction from the will of the immortal domain.

Xuan Yangzi, Immortal Emperor Zhantian, the Qilin Demon King, and the other veteran powerhouses all restrained the joy on their faces, their minds tightening.

They locked their gazes tightly onto that restless mass of golden light and shadow, holding their breath and concentrating, not daring to make the slightest move.

Seeing everyone's questions, the will of the immortal domain remained silent for a long time. Its hazy light and shadow swayed slightly, as if crossing endless years to look back at the brilliant past of the Primordial destruction.

Finally, the ancient and vast Dao sound slowly emerged, falling into everyone's ears, each word heavy and striking straight at the heart:

"You all know that the Immortal Domain has shattered... but do you know why the Immortal Domain shattered?"

This simple question was like an invisible thunderclap, instantly gripping everyone's mind!

Everyone present held their breath, their gazes locked tightly on the will of the immortal domain, filled with doubt and curiosity.

Even Gu Changge, who had always been calm and composed, raised his eyes slightly at this moment, his gaze fixed firmly on that golden light and shadow, waiting for what would come next.

Everyone knew that the current fragmented Immortal Domain originated from that earth-shattering catastrophe in the Primordial era, caused by the cross-boundary invasion of powerhouses from outside the domain.

Yet for millions of years, no one knew where those powerhouses had come from, why they had specifically targeted the Immortal Domain before it was shattered, or why they had spared no effort to shatter the Immortal Domain to search for something within it.

All the truths about the ancient times had long been sealed by time, becoming an unsolvable mystery.

At this moment, the entire scene was silent, with everyone waiting for the will of the immortal domain to reveal the secret.

The next moment, the will of the immortal domain spoke slowly, completely uncovering that unknown Primordial secret!

"The Immortal Domain you see today is already a broken ruin, a dilapidated husk."

"However, in the Primordial era, the Immortal Domain was extremely prosperous, with the Dao at Perfection and Immortal Qi like an ocean."

"Immortal Emperors were as numerous as clouds, and there were quite a few Heavenly Emperors. It had already reached the pinnacle of heaven and earth, far more powerful and glorious than the Black Abyss Realm of today!"

The voice of the will of the immortal domain carried the grand sentiment of reminiscing about the past, but it immediately turned into a long sigh:

"However, heaven and earth have boundaries. Although the Immortal Domain was prosperous, it could ultimately not break through the shackles of the world."

"The Chaos is vast, and the heavens are boundless. There are countless worlds like me, and most of them, after reaching their own limits, fall into eternal stagnation until they wither and die."

"But, just when I felt lost in my prosperity, I caught a trace of... a ripple of the Dao within the mysterious Chaos."

"A vague yet incredibly precious Opportunity for the Immortal Domain to ascend!"

Its light and shadow suddenly brightened, as if rekindling the excitement of that year:

"That was to exhaust the Origin, the Dao Foundation, and the endless Immortal Qi of the Immortal Domain to condense a unique world ascension seed."

"This seed contains the supreme potential to break the shackles of the world and allow the Immortal Domain to undergo Nirvana and ascend to a higher level!"

"Once the seed matures, the Immortal Domain will have the Opportunity to undergo Nirvana, break through the shackles of heaven and earth, and step into the true high-level heavens, where all living beings can have the Opportunity to transcend the Heavenly Emperor."

The will of the immortal domain continued, its tone filled with bitterness and regret:

"For this reason, I pondered for a long time and made a choice, beginning to slowly refine and extract the essence of the Immortal Domain to condense the seed of Nirvana."

As these words were spoken, the entire scene was profoundly shaken!

Only then did everyone realize that the shattering of the Immortal Domain was not a natural disaster, but a gamble that the Primordial Immortal Domain had actively chosen for the sake of total transcendence and plane ascension!

Next, the voice of the will of the immortal domain became heavy as it continued:

"This process was irreversible, and it also led to the gradual decline of the Spiritual Qi of the Immortal Domain, the dimming of the Dao, and the cultivation environment becoming worse day by day."

"Countless predecessors who had touched the extreme Realm of the Heavenly Emperor found their path forward severed and became disheartened."

"They either broke through the Void Realm to travel far into the depths of Chaos to search for Opportunity, or their Dao Heart was eroded, falling into deep slumber with the decline of heaven and earth, eventually dissipating in the long river of time..."

The entire heavens were silent, and everyone listened with trembling hearts.

"Endless years passed, and Purple Bamboo was the first Heavenly Emperor to rise against the trend after the environment of the Immortal Domain began to decline, relying on his own supreme talent and Heart-Nature."

The light and shadow of the Immortal Domain swayed gently, its tone carrying a touch of mystery and destiny.

"He sensed the abnormality of heaven and earth and did not leave or become depressed like others."

"Instead, with peerless wisdom and a tenacious Dao Heart, he traced the source alone and finally glimpsed the secret of the world seed and my existence."

"He saw through my ultimate goal of condensing the world seed and saw the glimmer of hope for the Nirvana of the Immortal Domain."

"He clearly sensed that heaven and earth were withering and the path ahead was difficult; he could clearly have left through the Void Realm like other Heavenly Emperors to seek a higher path!"

"But in the end, he chose to stay."

"From then on, Purple Bamboo silently guarded this secret and also protected the increasingly declining living beings of the Immortal Domain, waiting for the day of the Immortal Domain's Nirvana and the rebirth of heaven and earth."

Hearing this, everyone's hearts were violently shaken!

Purple Bamboo had actually made so many sacrifices for the Immortal Domain!

The Dao sound of the will of the immortal domain became increasingly low, carrying a trace of self-blame and remorse:

"The wait lasted for endless years. The seed is finally about to mature..."

The voice of the will of the immortal domain suddenly became sharp and painful, and the light and shadow twisted violently:

"But just at the moment when the seed reached Perfection, that supreme Dao essence sufficient to allow the Immortal Domain to leap forward leaked out uncontrollably."

"It pierced through the Chaos and alarmed the supreme beings high above in the outside world!"

"At that time, Purple Bamboo and I were about to complete the final symbiotic transformation. The Immortal Domain would use the seed to ascend the plane, and Purple Bamboo would use the momentum of heaven and earth to break through the shackles of the Heavenly Emperor and ascend to the heavens!"

"But at the most critical moment of the ascension... the catastrophe descended without warning!"

The will of the immortal domain heaved a long sigh, filled with endless regret.
