The King of the Other Domain Descends, Beheaded by a Single Sword Strike
The King of the Other Domain Descends, Beheaded by a Single Sword Strike
Gu Changge’s expression did not change in the slightest. He merely swept his gaze over the shattered continent before him, and the many beings of the Other Domain in the distance.
What he was currently considering was still how to connect the pieces he had laid out earlier according to his original plan, so as to leave not the slightest flaw.
The upheaval in the Immortal Domain had long been within his expectations. Appearing in the Immortal Domain now was, in truth, merely to verify his conjectures, and at the same time to make himself conform to the true Immortal Dao Domain.
After all, his current Physique had yet to undergo the baptism of the Immortal Dao’s rules, so it could not truly be considered a genuine immortal vessel.
Of course, the moment Gu Changge appeared in the Immortal Domain, his Physique began actively devouring the dense Immortal Dao factors. For him, there was no need to speak of being baptized by some so-called Immortal Tribulation—the level of his Physique was naturally transforming on its own.
Even without recovering his past memories, with his current strength alone, he had no need to fear or concern himself with any so-called Immortal King.
What’s more, he had walked to the absolute peak in the Beyond; his cultivation had long since reached an unfathomable depth, impossible for anyone to fathom.
Not to mention, he still had countless methods at his disposal.
It was only that, as a precaution for his plan, many matters still had to be considered even more far-reaching.
“So young, walking out from that realm... could he be one of those in the cycle of reincarnation?”
“Go report to the True Immortals of our domain—the gateway to the Source World has reappeared, and a young man suspected to be an Immortal King has walked out from within.”
Unlike the many ecstatic and excited clansmen of the Immortal Domain, quite a few experts on the Other Domain’s side were alarmed. They were already secretly transmitting messages, intending to report this matter to the True Immortals of the Other Domain and let them handle it.
Because only True Immortals were qualified to make contact with Immortal Kings and inform them of this matter.
Before this mysterious young man, even True Daoists were no different from ants. Perhaps only True Immortals were qualified to converse with him, to ascertain his intentions and origins.
Moreover, he had just asked who the current King of the Immortal Domain was.
Did that not mean he knew the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Domain?
This thought arose in the minds of many beings of the Other Domain, leaving them both horrified and terrified, reminding them of rumors from a very distant past.
The vast majority of the Other Domain’s beings were not fools either. Upon learning that even a True Daoist had been slapped to death, they reined in their former arrogance and dominance, standing in place as if awaiting execution.
Those young people of the Other Domain who had just been recklessly discussing the Source World all turned pale, silent as cicadas in winter.
After the Western Immortal Domain fell, the Other Domain had only sent True Immortals to garrison and guard this place—there was no Immortal King stationed here. Otherwise, given that terrifying display of might just now, how could an Immortal King not have noticed?
In truth, the moment the Heavenly Ancient City manifested, the True Immortals of the Other Domain had sensed it immediately.
Though they were not as boundlessly powerful as Immortal Kings, they were still truly supreme existences who looked down upon an entire realm, with lifespans exceeding ten million years, or even longer.
The Western Immortal Domain was broken and incomplete, but that fluctuation just now had been far too terrifying—the shockwave of two worlds colliding, as if a Great Universe had been annihilated within it.
How could they not have felt it?
It was only that, after witnessing a True Daoist being slapped to death, their courage had frozen. They knew full well that Gu Changge was absolutely not someone they could contend against—they had to report to the Immortal Kings of the Other Domain.
This mysterious young man’s cultivation was unfathomable. In this current era, to walk out from the Source World, and even push open that gate which only an Immortal King could breach—his power was evident for all to see.
He was absolutely at the level of an Immortal King, or even above.
For some of the True Immortals of the Other Domain, who understood quite a few truths about this world and were qualified to make contact with that level, they knew that the Other Domain had always been searching for the Source World. On one hand, it was because they wanted to devour that realm’s Source, so that the Mountains and Oceans True World could be completely unified.
But there was another reason—they were searching for those within the cycle of reincarnation.
Judging from the current situation, this mysterious young man was very likely one of those within the cycle of reincarnation.
“Daren, are you the former King of the Immortal Domain?”
Before the Heavenly Ancient City, many clansmen of the Immortal Domain had rushed over, kneeling prostrate here, bowing in worship to Gu Changge, their faces filled with excitement, as if facing a deity out of myth.
One young girl, who did not look very old, could not help but ask, her gaze carrying hope and anticipation.
On this primordial land, ancient trees towered into the sky, tall and gnarled. A small group of Human descendants of the Immortal Domain had lived here for several thousand years.
They were only a small portion of them.
The continent was extremely fragmented; in some places, the scars of the great war of old could still be seen. The once-vast galaxies of life had all been shattered, smashed apart and scattered in every direction.
The lands before them now were but a tiny, tiny fraction of what once was.
Gu Changge swept his gaze over these descendants of the Immortal Domain, his expression utterly without ripple. He did not answer, nor did he acknowledge them.
He merely gazed at the distant sky. In the eyes of the crowd, he seemed to be quietly waiting for the Other Domain’s response.
The atmosphere of this place seemed frozen solid. All the beings of the Other Domain who had rushed here earlier, regardless of their level, dared not move a muscle, terrified and chilled to the bone. They did not know Gu Changge’s intentions, nor did they know his origins.
Heaven and earth fell silent, as if even time and space had faded away. There was no interweaving of rules and order—this place had become one of absolute tranquility.
Even the Big Red Bird was quiet now. It did not know Gu Changge’s purpose. In truth, even now it did not understand Gu Changge in the slightest. It only knew that he was the chief culprit behind the Forbidden Epoch.
He was the Demon Lord who silenced all the heavens.
He was the great ruthless one who schemed against the Beyond and buried everything.
He had conquered the Source World and unified it—he was no kind or benevolent soul.
Though he was gentle and easygoing toward the kin and beloved women at his side, it could not be denied that his cold ruthlessness was enough to make the entire Beyond tremble with fear.
Chi—
Streak after streak of flowing light tore across the cosmic skies.
At this moment, countless beings of the Other Domain converged from all corners of the shattered Western Immortal Domain, rushing toward this region of the universe.
Separated by vast stretches of starry sky, they had yet to draw near, yet their hearts already sensed it—they felt that the environment of that stretch of heaven and earth had undergone a great change. Their entire bodies could not help but turn cold, understanding that something momentous had occurred.
“That gateway has appeared? And a young man suspected to be an Immortal King walked out from within?”
Within the vast cosmos of the Other Domain.
Inside a sprawling Practice Ground shrouded in dense, heavy mist, an ancient and weathered existence abruptly opened his eyes.
This was the first time in a million years that he had made a sound.
His blood energy surged like a blazing sun. Standing amid the starry sky, he was like a demon god from primordial times—terrifying to the extreme.
As a figure at the absolute pinnacle of the Immortal Dao, he could be called a King among Immortals, ruling over a boundlessly vast universe with trillions upon trillions of subjects—enough to be described as immeasurable.
In this world, there were very few things left that could alarm such an existence.
At this moment, this corner of the universe trembled. As this fearsome existence awakened, the vast starry sky rose and fell like an ocean, and great swathes of stars crumbled into dust.
Before the Other Domain conquered the Western Immortal Domain, they had long since shattered the Western Heavenly Gate. Now that the barrier was gone, even though the environment of heaven and earth suppressed the Immortal Kings of the Other Domain, it could not prevent their descent.
With a single thought, they could cross over from the endlessly distant Other Domain.
This Immortal King of the Other Domain had been startled awake. His gaze was like two terrifying immortal swords, tearing through the cosmos, as if to clearly see the scene on the other side.
Existences standing at the realm of Immortal King could already be called omnipotent—they could even wade through the River of Time and alter certain bearable threads of karma.
And so, the instant he awoke, he began to divine the events on the Western Immortal Domain’s side, wanting to learn the origins and background of the young man who had appeared.
At this very moment, terrifying auras began to emerge above the Western Immortal Domain. All manner of dreadful phenomena manifested, and even the Immortal Dao rules seemed on the verge of snapping.
The sun, moon, and stars all trembled. Countless continents collapsed, directly reduced to dust beneath this aura.
As the Immortal King’s aura emerged, the entire universe quaked because of it. Vast stretches of starfields could not withstand this aura and directly exploded.
Countless Cultivators—
No matter their level, all knelt down toward that place, reverent and awestruck.
Even the people of the Immortal Domain, though unwilling to kneel to an Immortal King of the Other Domain, could not hold themselves up at this moment. Their legs went weak, and they collapsed directly to their knees.
To meet a King and not bow—one’s Original Soul would collapse, extinguished for all eternity.
“It’s the Profound Earth Immortal King!”
“Wonderful! The King of our domain has already sensed everything here!”
Many True Immortals of the Other Domain in the Western Immortal Domain, sensing this aura, were all overcome with excitement, kneeling prostrate toward that place.
Even True Immortals, before an Immortal King, were like ants—he could erase them with a single thought.
That gap was like an unbridgeable chasm, impossible to cross.
The ancient and grand Heavenly Ancient City trembled under this aura. The blood that had been spilled upon its walls long ago now shone with dazzling, eye-piercing light.
Faintly, all manner of phantoms from ancient times emerged—True Immortals of the Immortal Domain coughing up blood here, an Immortal King besieged and falling, heavenly palaces collapsing, the Western Immortal Domain splitting apart, the Heavenly Gate severed, the heavens weeping blood, all living beings wailing in grief.
The many descendants of the Western Immortal Domain were overwhelmed with boundless grief and despair, recalling the tragic scene after the Western Heavenly Gate was breached, when the entire Immortal Domain fell.
How many tens of thousands of years had it been?
The Immortal King of the Other Domain who had once led a great army into the Western Immortal Domain had reappeared. Though it was only a wisp of his aura, it was still terrifying beyond compare—none could stand against it.
“Who are you? One of those in the cycle of reincarnation? Or a remnant who once fled to that realm?”
“To be able to push open that gateway and step into the Immortal Domain—you do have some skill.”
This Immortal King of the Other Domain had a cold gaze. Though he was merely formed of a wisp of aura, he was still utterly without scruples, staring at Gu Changge before the Heavenly Ancient City.
Finally, his gaze fell upon this legendary ancient city, upon that gateway.
Through that gateway, he could sense the faint, elusive aura emanating from within—it was precisely the Source World they had been searching for all along.
“Just a wisp of aura?”
Hearing this, Gu Changge glanced at this Immortal King of the Other Domain, his gaze without the slightest ripple.
“A wisp of aura is still enough to suppress and kill you.”
The Profound Earth Immortal King did not detect the aura of an Immortal King on Gu Changge, and did not believe him to be an existence standing at the same height as himself. His gaze was incomparably cold.
He simply raised his palm and struck. A colossal hand surging with Chaos Energy stretched across the heavens, spanning the entire universe—the whole world was covered beneath it.
The Great Dao rumbled; all the heavens and universes resonated.
The many rules and orders of the Western Immortal Domain let out terrifying sounds like the scraping of blades, easily crushed, then bursting apart.
Yet in response, Gu Changge merely brought two fingers together and casually slashed forward.
A streak of sword light swept forth, faint and azure, as if piercing through ancient history, washing over the future.
Boom—rumble!
The sky shattered, the universe quaked, and the entire cosmos seemed to break into fragments.
The surging sword light, wreathed in chaotic immortal radiance, pierced through everything, suppressing the cosmos.
It was too dazzling—like a white sun in a clear sky, illuminating the ages.
Even the River of Time faded away. All rules and order crumbled and dissipated.
Beneath this sword light, all the worlds wailed in lament.
Watching this sword descend, the Profound Earth Immortal King—whose expression had remained cold and unchanging all along—suddenly changed countenance.
The giant hand he had extended burst apart with a pu, collapsing and disintegrating in an instant. Then the sword light did not stop—
The sword fell, directly beheading him. His figure exploded with a hong.
