The Realm Without Immortals.
The Ancient Wilderness.
The gateway to the other realm stood towering.
After the defeat of the forces led by the Ancient Wilderness Cave Heaven in their attempt to invade the Green Sun Realm, this gateway became a forbidden place where no one dared to tread lightly.
Despite the allure of the Green Sun Realm's resources, who would dare to take risks in the face of the bloodstained warnings of their predecessors?
To this day,
Around the gateway, there were only a few cultivators, with the three major sects of the Ancient Wilderness forming the core and experts from other sects jointly guarding this place.
Their true intention was to prevent cultivators from the Green Sun Realm from stepping into the Ancient Wilderness - the Realm Without Immortals.
...
At the summit of the peaks, two cultivators stood side by side.
Their gazes were fixed on the Gateway of the Myriad Realms, unmoving like sculptures, silent.
After a long time,
The latter broke the silence.
"Elder Zhong, I find the sect's decision overly cautious. Since that battle over thirty years ago, there has been not the slightest movement in the Green Sun Realm. I reckon they dare not covet our Ancient Wilderness."
"Our presence here, guarding, is indeed wasting time."
Xu Yuanshi's brow furrowed slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled by the Ancient Wilderness sect's decision, his words subtly tinged with a barely detectable hint of complaint.
As a steward of the Ancient Wilderness sect, his cultivation had reached the late stage of Dragon Transformation. Though not at the pinnacle within the sect, it was still commendable.
Xu Yuanshi held this position, yet he was assigned to guard the gateway, inevitably harboring some discontent.
Zhong Song responded calmly, "How can we underestimate the Green Sun Realm? Their spiritual energy is scarce, nearing the end of an era."
"However, unexpectedly, there are peak True Immortal-level experts emerging, indicating the extraordinary talent of the prodigies in the Green Sun Realm."
"It's difficult for shallow waters to nurture a divine dragon. Given the density of spiritual energy in the Green Sun Realm, for someone to reach the True Immortal level is already a limit, with no possibility of further advancement."
"However, if such a person were to enter the Ancient Wilderness, with its abundant spiritual energy and the gradual dissipation of the shackles of longevity, they might find an opportunity to break through beyond the True Immortal realm."
"At that time, it would pose a major threat to the Lord of the Ancient Wilderness."
The reason for Gantang's deployment to guard this place was clear to Zhong Song.
The spiritual energy of the Green Sun Realm is so scarce, yet it can still nurture True Immortal-level experts.
Such talent rivals various types of immortal bodies, even if placed in the Ancient Wilderness or the entire Realm Without Immortals, it would still be rare.
Such an anomaly must not be allowed to step into the Ancient Wilderness and cultivate with the help of its spiritual energy.
The only way is to confine them within the Green Sun Realm, which is the best strategy.
Hearing this,
Xu Yuanshi's expression was shocked: "To cultivate to the True Immortal level in an era nearing its end, this child's talent is truly shocking. Could it be that he also possesses an immortal body?"
"Other smaller realms also have the possibility of immortal bodies. For someone to reach this level, they must be extraordinary. However—"
At this point, Zhong Song revealed a disdainful smirk.
"The shackles of longevity are gradually diminishing, and a golden age is approaching. Soon, the Sacred Land of the Ancient Wilderness will surely give birth to experts surpassing True Immortals."
"At that time, what threat does the mere Green Sun Realm pose? Our Ancient Wilderness sect alone is enough to sweep it clean!"
Above the True Immortal level!
This is a realm that has not been touched in five thousand years since the shackles of longevity descended.
Gantang has already reached the True Immortal perfection and possesses the immortal body of the ancient wilderness.
Now that the shackles of longevity are diminishing, the holders of the immortal body are naturally unique. However—
The remaining two major cave heavens in the ancient wilderness are also quiet at the moment.
Only strong people like the ancient wilderness are guarding the place. Zhong Song speculates on the heart.
"Thus, our Ancient Wilderness Cave Heaven will soon sweep the Green Sun Realm clean!"
Xu Yuanshi's face lit up with joy.
If they could sweep the Green Sun Realm clean, his years of guarding would surely yield significant merits, and he might even break through to the realm of a true immortal.
"Indeed..."
Zhong Song smiled slightly, but before he could finish speaking, a sudden burst of terrifying pressure erupted from the direction of the otherworldly gateway.
In an instant,
Zhong Song's expression changed drastically.
"Not good, something is happening in the Green Sun Realm—"
As soon as he finished speaking, six figures stepped out of the gateway, their terrifying aura sweeping out like a tidal wave.
Leaving all the cultivators in the Ancient Wilderness shocked.
...
"This is the Realm Without Immortals... the density of spiritual energy here is at least ten times greater than that of the Green Sun Realm!"
Lin Lin's face was filled with awe. In his perception, the spiritual energy from all directions gathered like tidal waves.
Filling every pore in his body, causing his Nascent Soul in his Purple Palace to tremble.
Although he had already expected the spiritual energy in the Realm Without Immortals to be incredibly rich, it was only upon arriving here that Lin Lin truly felt the overwhelming power of the spiritual energy.
If he had been cultivating here thirty years ago, Lin Lin was confident that within ten years, he could have reached the fifth tier without the need for any breakthrough pills.
Not only was Lin Lin shocked.
Gu Fang, Lu Wanqing, and others, sensing this powerful spiritual energy, also showed varying degrees of astonishment on their faces.
At this moment,
A mysterious force quietly descended, forcibly suppressing their cultivation back to the peak of the fourth tier.
"This is the suppression of the Heavenly Dao!"
Gu Fang's brows furrowed, and he suddenly understood.
Heavenly Dao suppression,
Every world has its Heavenly Dao, and any foreigner entering this world would be suppressed by the power of the Heavenly Dao.
Just like when the Realm Without Immortals invaded the Green Sun Realm, now the Green Sun Realm's counterattack faced the same suppression.
However,
Even with their cultivation suppressed, Gu Fang did not feel fear. As a fifth-tier powerhouse, even with their cultivation level reduced, they were not comparable to ordinary peak fourth-tier cultivators.
Moreover, he possessed the Overlord Immortal Body, giving him extraordinary combat power.
"The tiny Green Sun Realm dares to invade the Ancient Wilderness, seeking their own doom!"
In an angry shout, a lean gray-clad elder flew through the air, delivering a palm strike towards Gu Fang and the others, his immense aura surging like a tsunami, instilling fear.
"A fifth-tier cultivator!"
Gu Fang's battle intent surged, as if his immortal body bloodline had been ignited.
Taking a step into the air, his overwhelming energy shot into the sky.
Accompanied by a world-shaking dragon roar, a terrifying force condensed at his fist, clashing fiercely with Zhong Song.
"Boom—"
Zhong Song felt Gu Fang's punch like a mighty mountain.
The force of his blood and energy was as vast and deep as an ocean.
Under the impact of this powerful force, his internal energy surged wildly, and his body was uncontrollably sent flying.
This anomaly.
Made Zhong Song's expression change drastically.
"Impossible... How can you possess such immense power!"
He could see through Gu Fang's cultivation level at a glance; he had already stepped into the realm of a true immortal. However, under the laws of the Heavenly Dao in the Realm Without Immortals, the other party was only at the peak of the Dragon Transformation stage.
The gap between the peak of Dragon Transformation and the initial stage of the true immortal realm was a major boundary, and the chasm between them could not be measured by ordinary standards.
Zhong Song thought he could easily suppress the opponent, but he did not expect Gu Fang's strength to far exceed his expectations.
In their initial clash, not only did he fail to gain any advantage, but he also found himself at a complete disadvantage.
How could Zhong Song not be utterly shocked by this situation?
However, just as his mind was reeling,
Gu Fang showed no hesitation, fully activating the Overlord Immortal Body technique, and his blood energy surged instantly.
His right hand suddenly donned a dark red gauntlet, engraved with strange runes.
As the blood energy erupted, the runes on the gauntlet awakened.
Like a blooming fire lotus, it released a terrifying aura of destruction, causing Zhong Song's heart to tremble.
"A true immortal treasure!"
With his status as an elder of the Ancient Wilderness Cave Heaven, Zhong Song could easily recognize the level of the gauntlet. The terrifying pressure it exuded could only come from a true immortal treasure.
However, what puzzled Zhong Song the most was how such a small Green Sun Realm could possess a true immortal treasure.
Such treasures had unparalleled power, and even true immortal cultivators rarely owned one.
Each one was priceless, and even Zhong Song himself did not have a true immortal treasure for protection.
Yet—
Gu Fang's attack was already upon him, with the combined force of the immortal body and the true immortal treasure, Zhong Song felt the threat of death.
"Boom!"
Zhong Song gave his all to defend, but he was still sent flying, spewing blood from his mouth, his body like a broken kite.
From Gu Fang's appearance to Zhong Song's attack, and then to Zhong Song's defeat, all this happened in an instant.
Until this moment.
