242: Chapter 242 The Arrival of Giants, the Grand Ceremony in Turmoil

Dark Immortal Great Realm.

Blood Phoenix Immortal Domain.

Today, the Blood Phoenix Domain was in a state of complete upheaval.

The sky was shrouded in an endless blood-colored glow.

A vast pressure surged frantically within the Void Realm.

The news of the Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor's revival had spread.

The entire Dark Great Realm was shaken by it.

The Fallen Blood Phoenix Clan had mobilized in its entirety, becoming fully active.

Countless clansmen clad in blood-colored battle armor guarded all directions.

They not only sent envoys to pay respects to the two Supreme Giants, Rongmen and Huanjing,

but also summoned the four Quasi-Immortal Kings with an extremely haughty posture.

Now, the Blood Phoenix Clan had invited powerful experts from all sides,

holding an unprecedentedly grand ceremony

to celebrate the revival of their Ancient Ancestor.

The venue for the ceremony was set in the core area of the Blood Phoenix Spirit Domain,

the Crimson Cloud Spirit Lake.

This place connected to the legendary Blood Phoenix Pool.

A blood-colored Spiritual Qi, so dense it was nearly solid, drifted over the lake's surface.

Every drop of lake water contained a pure immortal aura.

In the past, this was an absolute Forbidden Ground.

Only a true Immortal King was qualified to set foot here.

Today, however, it was fully open to the invited Immortals and Great Emperors.

"Heavens!"

A powerhouse of the Emperor Realm had just stepped onto the edge of the Spirit Lake.

His eyes widened, and he cried out in shock.

"The Spiritual Qi here is actually dense to such a degree!"

He took a deep breath.

With just one breath of Spiritual Qi entering his body,

the cultivation Bottleneck that had remained stagnant for thousands of years actually showed a hint of loosening.

"This is simply a supreme Opportunity!"

Another powerhouse of the Immortal Realm was filled with shock.

Without hesitation,

he sat down cross-legged directly on the outskirts of the Spirit Lake.

"Quick! Everyone, sit down and Cultivate!"

He called out loudly to his companions.

"Such a once-in-a-thousand-years Opportunity—if we miss today, we won't find it again in this lifetime!"

Seeing this, the surrounding experts no longer cared about their decorum.

*Plop! Plop!*

Swaths of experts sat down cross-legged one after another.

They frantically circulated their Cultivation Techniques, greedily absorbing the immortal aura in the air.

An old-established Great Emperor with a head of white hair trembled with excitement.

He had suffered severe internal injuries in the past that had tormented him for ten thousand years.

At this moment, under the nourishment of that pure immortal aura,

the hidden injuries within his body actually began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"Thank you for the grace, Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor!"

The old Great Emperor's face was covered in tears.

He kowtowed heavily.

"Even if I can only sit on the outskirts of the Spirit Lake, this old man is full of gratitude!"

While greedily absorbing the Spiritual Qi, the crowd lowered their voices and engaged in discussion.

"The Blood Phoenix Clan is truly going to rise completely this time."

A Dark Creature with twin horns sighed.

He shook his head, his tone filled with awe.

"With the Ancient Ancestor's revival, the landscape of the Dark Great Realm is going to change drastically."

Beside him, a powerhouse with wings on his back sneered.

"I don't know if the landscape will change or not."

He lowered his voice and leaned in.

"But have you heard about what happened over at the Xuanhuang Great World?"

As soon as these words were spoken,

the circle of people pricking up their ears to listen to the gossip immediately grew wider.

"Of course I've heard!"

An old man stroked his beard, his face full of mockery.

"The two Immortal Kings, Immortal King and Xiandian, have completely lost face this time!"

He chuckled, his voice laced with undisguised ridicule.

"Two grand Immortal Kings joined forces,"

"yet they were nearly slain by a native of the Xuanhuang Great World!"

"What was that native's name again?"

"Su Xuanchen!"

Someone immediately chimed in.

"Right! It's that Su Xuanchen!"

The old man slapped his thigh, his face full of disdain.

"An ant in the True Immortal Realm actually forced two Immortals into a desperate situation!"

"I heard that even Immortal King's arm was severed!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter.

"What a massive joke!"

"The prestige of Xiandian has been completely dragged through the mud this time."

"Grand Immortals being chased and hacked by a True Immortal—who will ever respect them again?"

Laughter rose and fell among the crowd.

Immortal King and Xiandian had completely become the laughingstocks of the entire Dark Great Realm.

"If it weren't for the two Supreme Giants, Rongmen and Huanjing, stepping in just in time to retrieve them,"

the winged powerhouse curled his lip.

"Immortal King and Xiandian would have probably perished long ago!"

The more the crowd talked, the more excited they became.

Their words were filled with contempt for Immortal King and Xiandian.

Just as everyone was discussing heatedly,

someone suddenly pointed at the seats ahead.

"Look!"

His voice carried extreme shock.

"Even those four Quasi-Immortal Kings can only sit in the second tier!"

The crowd looked in the direction he pointed.

On the high platform ahead,

those four notoriously fierce Quasi-Immortal Kings were sitting in the secondary seats.

The entire audience instantly sucked in a breath of cold air.

"The second tier?"

"Then just how terrifyingly great must the figures in the first tier be?"

Everyone's hearts instantly jumped into their throats.

They all began to speculate about the supreme beings who were about to appear.

At that moment,

*Rumble—!*

A deafening roar suddenly came from above the nine heavens.

The originally blood-colored sky was instantly torn open, revealing a massive gap.

Endless chaos qi poured down from the gap.

Three grand and boundless figures stepped through the air one after another.

Immortal Immortal King!

Supreme Giant Huanjing!

Supreme Giant Rongmen!

As soon as these three appeared,

a pressure terrifying to the extreme instantly enveloped the entire Crimson Cloud Spirit Lake.

The entire venue was in an uproar.

"It's the Supreme Giants!"

Someone screamed in terror.

All those who had ridiculed Immortal King were now scared pale.

Their bodies trembled violently, and cold sweat instantly soaked their backs.

*Plop! Plop!*

Countless experts were simply unable to withstand this pressure.

They knelt on both knees and deeply lowered their heads.

Their bones made creaking sounds, unable to bear the burden.

Supreme Giants!

These were the ceilings of combat power in the current era.

Aside from the legendary and ethereal Emperor Light Immortal Kings,

no one in this world could match them!

Huanjing and Rongmen were surrounded by dense Chaos immortal aura.

That aura was too terrifying.

With just a single glance, one felt as if their Divine Soul was about to be torn apart.

The hearts of the experts in the audience were filled with endless awe.

At the same time, they were also filled with deep envy.

This was power!

These were the existences at the very Peak of the Dark Great Realm!

The moment the three Titans arrived,

from deep within the Crimson Cloud Spirit Lake,

a blood-colored rainbow soared into the sky.

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor appeared!

He wore a blood-colored imperial robe, his entire body radiating an immortal brilliance.

He personally stepped through the air to welcome the three Titans.

"Fellow Daoists, please excuse me for not greeting you sooner."

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor cupped his hands, his attitude polite.

Supreme Giant Rongmen laughed heartily.

His voice was like a great bell, shaking heaven and earth.

"Phoenix Extreme Heaven!"

Rongmen addressed him directly by name.

"You old fellow, you've finally decided to wake up!"

As soon as this was said,

the hearts of the experts in the audience jolted.

Phoenix Extreme Heaven!

This was the Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor's original name!

In the entire Dark Great Realm, who would dare to call the Ancient Ancestor by his original name?

That was a great disrespect!

But Rongmen did it.

And he did it so naturally, so casually.

Everyone was inwardly shocked.

They instantly understood.

Only a Supreme Giant who had lived for countless eons had this qualification!

Only they had this confidence!

The atmosphere of the ceremony, due to the arrival of the two Supreme Giants,

became increasingly grand and solemn.

The air was filled with an awe-inspiring sense of pressure.

All the experts held their breath.

They lowered their heads,

yet the fires of expectation burned fiercely in their hearts.

They grew even more expectant,

looking forward to what earth-shattering events would follow in this unprecedentedly grand ceremony.
