Chapter 535: Chapter 443: May the Immortal Path Be Everlasting...

...

The Immortal Realm was vast, its multitude of worlds impossible to count.

At this moment, within a certain expanse of the cosmos, brilliant and dazzling Star Realms glittered one after another amidst a swirling ocean of stellar mist that surged with tumultuous waves.

At its very core hung an Ancient Star of life, so tall its origins could not be seen, suspended in the vast universe.

This Ancient Star of life was a deep blue all over, as if formed from condensed rainwater.

But a closer look would reveal that it was, in fact, an immense Water Blue True Dragon coiled upon itself!

This was the Vast Star Sea, a new superpower whose fame resounded throughout the Immortal Realm!

"This fluctuation... the Golden Clan? A Kunpeng? And ’Lei’?"

The Water Blue True Dragon’s eyes snapped open as it awoke from its deep slumber.

A colossal dragon staff materialized above it. It was ancient and unadorned, seemingly imbued with all the Mystical Skills of water from every plane of existence—the very personification of the Water Dao Fruit.

The dragon staff hummed loudly, and an endless stream of watery Dao rhythm washed out in all directions like a vast ocean, shattering one star after another and hanging new galaxies in their place.

In an instant, its dragon eyes grew profound, as if they had pierced through all barriers to gaze directly upon the situation in the Eight Domains of Heaven and Earth.

For just a moment ago, the barrier of the Eight Domains of Heaven and Earth had been briefly opened.

And from the Kunpeng Ancient Nest, a pillar of divine purple light shot toward the heavens.

The purple light was dazzling and its aura profound, possessed of a great terror. It vanished in a flash.

But this change had still not escaped its notice.

At the same time, various ancient existences throughout the Immortal Realm stirred from their slumber and returned.

These ancient existences gazed at the distant purple light, their expressions varied.

Some were shocked, others overjoyed, and some fearful—all sorts of emotions were present.

"The Kunpeng Ancient Nest... the place of Kunpeng succession established for his dear friend by that taboo existence known as ’Lei’!"

"The Kunpeng lineage’s inheritance, and the Daoist arts and Divine Techniques of ’Lei’... truly something to look forward to."

"So it’s true. The Kunpeng Ancient Nest really is in that world called the Eight Domains."

"The Immortal Realm is vast and contains thousands of worlds, but the Eight Domains of Heaven and Earth is the most special of them all. It could be called a forbidden land of the Immortal Realm."

"Indeed. That is because terrifying existences have emerged from that world, every one of them a taboo in the Immortal Realm!"

"..."

As their thoughts roamed, they crossed an unknown number of Star Realms and countless worlds.

The Kunpeng Ancient Nest was located at the intersection of the Eight Domains of Heaven and Earth and the Immortal Realm.

Due to the special nature of the Eight Domains of Heaven and Earth, no one could interfere with it directly.

It is worth mentioning that the ’Lei’ these ancient existences spoke of was the Thunder Saint Venerable.

The reason they did not mention the Thunder Saint Venerable by his full title was because his realm and cultivation were far too transcendent.

Outside the Eight Domains of Heaven and Earth, if any cultivator spoke his title aloud, he would sense it, triggering unforeseeable consequences.

Therefore, the higher one’s cultivation, the more taboo it became.

...

The Kunpeng Ancient Nest had a colossal origin and was certain to contain a great fortuitous encounter within.

Under the will of these ancient existences, a storm began to gather around the Kunpeng Ancient Nest.

They all hoped to obtain this fortuitous encounter, or even the Kunpeng Treasure Skill, the Thunder Control Ancient Scripture, and other heaven-defying Daoist scriptures, allowing them to soar to the heavens in a single leap.

Soon, however, they discovered that the world of the Kunpeng Ancient Nest was peculiar.

To enter the Kunpeng Ancient Nest, they had to cross an abyssal sea.

To their horror, it was impossible to fly over this endless Abyssal Sea.

Furthermore, their realms and cultivation levels would be suppressed to within a certain range.

"The Eight Domains... the legendary forbidden land. As expected, it holds other mysteries," a jet-black luan bird remarked, its eyes flashing. It stood at the edge of the Abyssal Sea, exuding immense majesty and flowing with an inky light.

The other cultivators exchanged cryptic glances.

This was because it was a Phoenix Bloodline. As long as it stood within a storm, its Divine Techniques and Daoist arts would increase tenfold, even a hundredfold, enough to effortlessly shatter stars. It was exceptionally terrifying.

"I can feel that I can comprehend the Laws of the Great Dao more easily here. However, my lifespan is draining away far faster than usual." The void trembled as a silver-white dragon-horse with menacing scales stepped out.

The dragon-horse let out a long neigh to the sky. With a BANG, the sea instantly erupted into monstrous waves that crashed toward the shore.

The seawater contained the Power of Laws, capable of corroding a living being’s physique and eroding a cultivator’s life source.

This act made the surrounding cultivators’ faces pale in fright, and they retreated nonstop.

This dragon-horse was too ferocious; no one wanted to provoke it lightly.

"If I could travel freely between the Immortal Realm and the Eight Domains, that in itself would be a heaven-defying fortuitous encounter. For that dream to come true... how wonderful would that be~" a small purple-and-gold bug sighed. It was over a meter long and exceptionally brilliant.

The cultivators glanced back, then fled the area for their lives.

Even the jet-black luan bird and the silver-white dragon-horse dared not make a sound, retreating uncontrollably with wary expressions.

This purple-and-gold bug was called a Void-Devouring Insect. The purple-and-gold stripes all over its body were actually mystical runes.

It was as if it had a naturally formed Dao body that recorded the mysteries of the Cosmic Dao. It appeared weak, but in reality, it was incomparably powerful.

This clan was parasitic to entire worlds and fed on Chaos Profound Qi.

Possessing a peculiar power of the Cosmic Dao, they could traverse great realms as long as they were strong enough.

However, according to ancient records, the greatest dream of the Void-Devouring Insect emperors was to break into the Eight Domains of Heaven and Earth.

Unfortunately, no Void-Devouring Insect had ever succeeded.

"Gentlemen, why don’t you cross the Abyssal Sea with me?" The Void-Devouring Insect gave a faint smile as its purple-and-gold runes shot to the sky, then pressed down like a tidal wave.

At the same moment, the bloodline descendants of ancient existences, like the jet-black luan bird and the silver-white dragon-horse, also launched their attacks simultaneously.
