845: Chapter 846 Each Goes Their Separation
"The Black Abyss Realm... was actually destroyed?"
The voice was very soft, carrying a trace of disbelief, but it was filled more with a certain indescribable, unfathomable scrutiny.
He raised his eyes, looking in the direction of the Immortal Domain. After a moment of silence, he spat out two words in a low voice: "Immortal Domain..."
With a single step, his figure landed amidst the ruins of the Black Abyss Realm.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his Divine Sense spreading silently as he meticulously sensed every wisp of Dao Rhyme remaining in the Void Realm.
"Sword Intent of the Heaven-Reaching Realm Fourth Layer, along with two strands of Devilish Qi of the Heaven-Reaching Realm Sixth Layer, have been completely extinguished. They were killed by someone."
He paused slightly, his brows knitting together almost imperceptibly.
"The aura of the Progenitor of the Black Abyss has completely vanished. Was he killed, or was he captured?"
He straightened up, his gaze becoming profound.
"That this forgotten land of the Immortal Domain could actually produce Heaven-Reaching Realm experts is already unexpected."
"But even so, it shouldn't have been a match for the Progenitor of the Black Abyss."
He pondered for a moment, a glimmer flashing in the depths of his eyes.
"Is it related to that seed, or are there other secrets?"
He lowered his head to look at the ruins beneath his feet, his tone flat, yet carrying a trace of undisguised contempt: "The Black Abyss Realm is truly trash."
Back then, the various powerhouses of the Heavenly Realm vied for the World Seed of the Immortal Domain, but ultimately returned empty-handed.
Although those supreme beings ostensibly ceased their activities, their gazes never truly left this broken world.
Later, when the Black Abyss Realm invaded the Immortal Domain, they saw it, yet took no action.
It was merely to use the hands of the Black Abyss Realm to force the Immortal Domain step by step, to see if it would reveal any hidden trump cards in its despair.
To see if that seed would reappear in a desperate situation.
As for the Progenitor of the Black Abyss, he was merely a Heavenly Monarch Realm expert who had fallen due to severe injuries. Even if he truly occupied the Immortal Domain and found the seed, those supreme beings could easily snatch it from his hands.
Poor Progenitor of the Black Abyss, thinking himself cautious, hiding behind the scenes to manipulate everything.
Yet he did not know that he himself was nothing more than a chess piece.
The Black-Robed Man withdrew his thoughts and looked toward the direction of the Immortal Domain once again, his gaze gaining a measure of gravity.
He had wanted to go directly to the Immortal Domain to investigate, but after a change of thought, he restrained himself.
"This matter concerns the Immortal Domain and the whereabouts of that seed... It is better to report to the Honored One first."
The Immortal Domain was able to eliminate the Progenitor of the Black Abyss. Although that person was not regarded highly by the Honored One, in his prime, he was also a Heavenly Monarch Realm existence, similar in strength to himself.
If the Immortal Domain truly possessed the power to kill him, rushing there rashly might not yield any advantage.
He hesitated no longer; his figure slowly faded, eventually dissipating completely into the Chaos.
On the other side of the Chaos, the Immortal Domain army was galloping majestically toward their homeland.
Streamers of light filled the sky, war flags fluttered, and the mighty military aura spread for millions of miles. Wherever they passed, the Chaos retreated, and the Void Realm trembled.
At the very front of the army, Gu Changge stood with his hands behind his back, his robes motionless despite the high-speed flight.
Suddenly, his brows knit together imperceptibly.
His Divine Thought caught a trace of an aura in the direction of the distant battlefield ruins that appeared briefly before quickly departing.
That aura was not too strong, about the Seventh or Eighth Layer of the Heaven-Reaching Realm, but it was pure and refined, completely different from the Devilish Qi of the Black Abyss Realm.
People from the Heavenly Realm?
They arrived faster than he had anticipated.
He did not make a sound, nor did he turn back to look; he simply noted the characteristics of that aura silently before withdrawing his Divine Thought.
The army continued to advance.
Half a day later, the Chaos ahead gradually became thinner, and the outline of a vast world began to emerge at the edge of his vision.
The Immortal Domain had arrived.
At this moment, regardless of where they were in the Immortal Domain, whether it was an Old Ancestor of an Ancient Sect who had been in secluded cultivation for ten thousand years, or an Immortal Domain tycoon guarding a region.
Or an ordinary Disciple in an ordinary Sect who was practicing breathing and Cultivating.
They all stopped what they were doing in unison, looked up, and gazed toward the edge of the Chaos.
There, the Void Realm was collapsing and mending in layers, and an indescribable, massive pressure permeated the area.
It was not the pressure of one person, but dozens of terrifying auras intertwined together, absent for a million years.
Each aura was as vast as the sea and unfathomable, carrying an ancient and barbaric Dao Rhyme that was completely different from that of the contemporary Immortal Emperor.
"That is... the aura of an Immortal Emperor!"
Before everyone could react, immediately following were more ancient and tattered war flags that slowly emerged from the waves of Chaos.
These were the first batch of Immortal Emperor-level forces that had fought alongside the barrier for a million years.
Taichu Divine Palace, Wuji Immortal Palace, Myriad Spirits Heavenly Palace...
Ancient war flags that had long been regarded by later generations as legends, existing only in ancient records, were now genuinely fluttering loudly above the firmament.
"That is... the flag of the Taichu Divine Palace?!"
"Myriad Spirits Heavenly Palace! It's the war flag of the Myriad Spirits Heavenly Palace! They are actually still alive!"
Countless old monsters stood up abruptly, recognizing those flags, their eyes full of disbelief.
"They have actually all returned. Has the war ended?"
Exclamations rose one after another.
However, before everyone could recover from this shock, another batch of war flags appeared immediately after.
Myriad Immortals Sect, Ancient God Clan, Yao Race war flags...
These flags were relatively new, but their auras were even sharper, reflecting and complementing the ancient war flags in front.
Before everyone could examine them closely, a message spreading along the Dao patterns of heaven and earth resounded throughout the entire Immortal Domain:
"The Black Abyss Realm has been completely destroyed, and the demonic scourge has been thoroughly eradicated!"
A short sentence, like a thunderclap, exploded in everyone's ears.
The entire scene first fell into a brief, deathly silence; everyone was stunned in place, as if even their breathing had stopped.
The next instant, the entire Immortal Domain erupted in cheers!
"The Black Abyss Realm... is destroyed?!"
"We won... we actually won..."
High above the sky, the will of the immortal domain manifested once again.
That cluster of hazy light rain swayed gently, bowing deeply toward the returning army and this ravaged yet still standing world.
And those ancient Immortal Emperors who had been away from their homeland for a million years, along with all the armies, fell into silence at this moment.
They stood above the clouds, quietly watching this world that was once so familiar, but was now withered and decayed.
Some had trembling gazes as they looked at the broken mountains and rivers, recalling the myriad of immortal clouds and colors here a million years ago.
Some sighed softly; in that sigh, there was pain and regret for the decline of their homeland, as well as endless memories of the brothers who had gone and never returned, burying their bones at the barrier.
After a million years of fighting, returning to find things changed and people gone.
Before this emotion could linger in the air for too long, Gu Changge had already withdrawn his gaze.
His eyes were profound, but there was no sense of relief from victory in his heart.
With the return of this batch of ancient Immortal Emperors, the fragile balance that the Immortal Domain had maintained for a million years was destined to be completely broken.
Once these ancient orthodoxies returned to their respective homelands, their top priority would always be power and territory.
Although they had suffered heavy losses after a million years of fighting, their foundation of high-end combat power remained deep.
Any one of them, if plucked out, would be an existence that the top powers of the current Immortal Domain would need to look up to.
The collision between the new and old forces was almost inevitable.
"It seems that this Immortal Domain..." he whispered in his heart.
"I fear it will not be peaceful for much longer."
"Jiemie, you take the people of the Myriad Immortals Sect and return to the Sect first; there is no need to wait for me."
"Yes, Master." Jiemie departed, and the people of the Myriad Immortals Sect followed closely behind.
Gu Changge's gaze then swept past his side and landed on Yue Liuli.
He saw that she was staring blankly at the tattered war flag in the distance; it was the flag of the Taiyin Immortal Palace.
"Liuli." Gu Changge called out.
Yue Liuli snapped back to reality and looked at Gu Changge.
"Go." Gu Changge's tone was flat, revealing neither joy nor anger.
"Get the Taiyin Immortal Palace settled first."
"I..." Yue Liuli opened her mouth, a flash of complexity in her eyes, which finally turned into a bow. "This subordinate obeys."
As her voice fell, she hesitated no longer, turning into a stream of light as she sped toward the direction of the survivors of the Taiyin Immortal Palace.
Time passed, the various forces dispersed one after another, and the people of the Azure Profound Sect also set off together, returning to the Xuanhuang Great World.
