Chapter 309: Curse Clone Becomes A World Lord, Shocking The Eternal Universe! Cosmic Sea In Turmoil, Cosmic Giant Beast Arrives!
Transform into a Domain!
For many Star Gods, this step is a crucial one.
Between a Star God and a Domain Lord, there is an insurmountable chasm.
However, Ji Qing is currently transforming into a domain, and this insurmountable chasm seems insignificant to him.
“Boom.”
Soon, Ji Qing’s transformation into a domain was complete.
His Heavenly Body instantly grew larger.
A “Domain Realm” could also form around the Heavenly Body.
The Heavenly Body is the ballast stone that stabilizes the “Domain Realm.”
Ji Qing finally understood why the Eternal Universe had sent a large number of Domain Lords to support the Ninth Heaven back then; after those Domain Lords transformed into Heavenly Bodies, they could block the Divine Kingdoms of the God Kings.
The reason is simple.
Because Domain Lords inherently possess a domain, and domain realms and divine kingdoms are actually quite similar. If a Domain Lord transforming into a Heavenly Body can stabilize a domain, then it can “suppress” the divine kingdoms in an area.
Therefore, if a large number of Domain Lords entered the Divine Kingdoms of God Kings, they could suppress a vast area of divine kingdoms.
This is only at the Domain Lord level.
If it were a World Lord, they could “transform into a Realm.”
This is the crucial step.
Transform into a Realm using a Heavenly Body, ascending to the pinnacle of the Eternal Universe.
Many Domain Lords in the Eternal Universe are not qualified to become World Lords.
But for Ji Qing, it is not difficult.
As for becoming a World Lord, he also has a method to transform into a Realm.
However, the method for transforming into a Realm is an Immortal Emperor-level technique, and it requires 30,000 Immortal Points to reach perfection.
Ji Qing now has 200,000 Immortal Points, so 30,000 Immortal Points is not much for him.
“Improve the method of transforming into a Realm to perfection.”
“Boom.”
A roar echoed in Ji Qing’s mind.
As the 30,000 Immortal Points disappeared, Ji Qing’s mind filled with the memories of transforming into a Realm, day after day, year after year.
It was as if he had already transformed into a Realm countless times.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing opened his eyes.
He had already mastered the method of transforming into a Realm.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, you…”
Star River Realm Lord was about to ask something, but Ji Qing did not pay attention.
He transformed into a Heavenly Body again.
This time, Ji Qing’s Heavenly Body was more than ten times larger than before.
Moreover, the aura of Ji Qing’s Heavenly Body was continuously climbing.
“This is…”
Star River Realm Lord’s pupils contracted sharply.
Seeing this, he immediately thought of a possibility.
However, this was too crazy.
Too far-fetched.
“Transforming into a Realm… Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Ji Qing just ‘transformed into a domain,’ how could he immediately ‘transform into a Realm’? Even if Ji Qing is a legendary Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Realm, it’s impossible…”
Star River Realm Lord shook his head repeatedly, but a storm was brewing in his heart.
The more he felt it was impossible, the more he had a guess deep down.
Ji Qing was likely about to transform into a Realm.
But for a Star God to successively become a Domain Lord and then a World Lord.
This was simply a colossal irony.
What did it make the cultivation system of the Eternal Universe?
Perhaps theoretically, a World Lord and an Immortal Emperor were equivalent in strength.
They were two paths leading to the same destination.
But there were still significant differences, as they belonged to different cultivation systems.
Now, Ji Qing’s Curse Clone is merely a Star God. Could it break through two realms to become a World Lord by relying on Ji Qing’s own Immortal Emperor realm?
This is absolutely impossible!
Regardless of what the outside world thought, Ji Qing’s Curse Clone was steadfastly “transforming into a Realm.”
“Boom.”
The Curse Clone’s Heavenly Body vibrated again.
Terrifying fluctuations spread throughout the entire Eternal Universe.
Such a massive commotion naturally alerted many World Lords.
“Who is transforming into a Realm?”
“After so many years, someone is finally transforming into a Realm again.”
“Huh? This is Star River Realm Lord’s territory. Could it be a Domain Lord under Star River Realm Lord transforming into a Realm?”
“Star River Territory does have many talented individuals, with many at the peak of the Domain Lord realm, but if we talk about who has the confidence to transform into a Realm, there’s probably none…”
“Let’s go and see.”
When many World Lords arrived at Star River Territory.
They saw the Curse Clone, Ji Qing, and Star River Realm Lord.
One by one, their expressions turned to shock.
When they inquired with Star River Realm Lord, the answer they received immediately caused a huge uproar.
“What, a clone of the Immortal Realm’s Guixu Immortal Emperor? From Star God, directly to transforming into a Realm in one go? Is that possible?”
“I know this Guixu Immortal Emperor; he is indeed a legendary Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Realm with unimaginable talent. But for one of his clones to break through two realms consecutively and achieve World Lord status, this is too unbelievable.”
“That’s the fact… However, transforming into a Realm is not that easy. Failures are everywhere…”
These high and mighty World Lords could not believe that a Star God could break through two realms consecutively and directly ascend to World Lord, as it shattered their perception.
It was like an Immortal Venerable breaking through two realms consecutively to become an Immortal Emperor.
Was it possible?
Under normal circumstances, it was absolutely impossible.
But they did not know that Ji Qing had Immortal Points, which could directly improve the method of transforming into a Realm to perfection.
Coupled with the fact that the Curse Clone was Ji Qing’s clone, Ji Qing’s Heart Realm was the clone’s Heart Realm. Therefore, transforming into a Realm was completely without issue.
However, facts speak louder than words.
Ji Qing had no intention of arguing.
Because his Curse Clone was already transforming into a Realm, and was slowly turning the “Domain Realm” into a true “World.”
Once the transformation was complete, the Curse Clone would officially be promoted to a true World Lord.
This required a period of time.
This period was quite long.
One year, three years, five years, ten years…
It was such a long time, exceeding ten years, yet not a single World Lord left. Instead, they stared intently at the Curse Clone. They were all World Lords and had all experienced transforming into a Realm.
The more they watched, the more shocked they became.
So stable!
The Curse Clone’s path to transforming into a Realm was truly incredibly stable.
In just thirteen years.
Ji Qing’s Curse Clone had successfully transformed into a Realm.
He retracted his Heavenly Body, and his aura was now indistinguishable from that of a World Lord.
This was a new World Lord!
“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, for successfully transforming into a Realm!”
Ji Qing’s “main body” congratulated the Curse Clone.
At the same time, Star River Realm Lord seemed to have realized something, but his expression was somewhat complex.
“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist. Now you possess both the Immortal Realm and Eternal Universe cultivation systems, and have cultivated both to their peak. If you can merge them, you will have greater security when venturing into the Cosmic Sea.”
Star River Realm Lord congratulated Ji Qing.
The other World Lords also reacted.
This Curse World Lord was, in essence, Guixu Immortal Emperor.
Both a World Lord and an Immortal Emperor, truly inconceivable.
They had personally witnessed this miracle!
“Congratulations, Guixu Immortal Emperor.”
“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Ji.”
“Fortunately, the Eternal Universe and the Immortal Realm now have friendly cooperation. Otherwise, if we had to face Fellow Daoist Ji, the consequences would be unimaginable…”
Many World Lords said this as if in jest.
While it sounded like a joke, it was actually the truth in their hearts.
After all, who would want to face a terrifying existence like Ji Qing, who was both an Immortal Emperor and a World Lord?
The key was that if Ji Qing hadn’t explained the reason himself, who would have thought that the Curse World Lord was Ji Qing’s clone?
It would probably be unbelievable no matter what.
If a war between the two realms had truly broken out, and the Curse World Lord suddenly erupted in the Eternal Universe.
The consequences would be unimaginable.
Ji Qing smiled slightly, and then the Curse Clone turned into a stream of light and merged into Ji Qing’s body.
At this moment, the numerous World Lords had no more “doubts.”
“Boom.”
However, Ji Qing’s Curse Clone had now become a World Lord. After merging into his body, it immediately caused a certain impact on Ji Qing.
World Lord, Immortal Emperor, Eternal Universe, and Immortal Realm cultivation systems were all constantly impacting and validating each other.
Unfortunately, it was different from what Ji Qing had imagined.
Even possessing two vastly different cultivation systems, both cultivated to their peak, did not bring Ji Qing any inspiration, nor did it trigger a “qualitative change.” Ji Qing did not see the path beyond Immortal Emperor.
The only change, perhaps, was an increase in combat power.
Or increased adaptability.
In areas where his Great Dao was inconvenient to use, he could utilize the Curse Clone’s World Lord power, transform himself into a Heavenly Body, greatly increasing his defense to a terrifying level.
Ji Qing’s purpose for coming to the Eternal Universe this time had also been achieved.
He had gained a great deal.
But it was also time to leave.
“Fellow Daoist Xinghai, you have been in the Eternal Universe for so long. Now that my clone has been retrieved, it is time to leave. If Fellow Daoist Xinghai ever visits the Immortal Realm, I, Ji Mou, will personally welcome you.”
Ji Qing bid farewell to Star River Realm Lord.
Star River Realm Lord nodded and said, “If I have the chance, I will definitely visit the Immortal Realm.”
Whether it’s an Immortal Emperor or a World Lord, going to the Eternal Universe or the Immortal Realm is not that easy.
After all, Immortal Emperors and World Lords are sensitive identities.
Even if the relationship between the two universes is good, Immortal Emperors and World Lords cannot freely travel between the two realms.
At most, Immortal Kings and Domain Lords can freely travel.
Thus, Ji Qing turned and left the Eternal Universe, returning to the Immortal Realm.
Upon returning to the Immortal Realm, Ji Qing now had only one thing to do.
That was to accumulate Fortune.
Then, when the Fortune was sufficient, he would use his heart to replace heaven’s heart and temper his mind.
At that time, with Mind and Fortune, Ji Qing would also attempt to completely grasp the Immortal Realm Authority and become the fourth Enlightened One!
But this was destined to take a long time.
However, Ji Qing was not in a hurry.
Many Immortal Emperors were eager to venture into the Cosmic Sea.
Ji Qing was not in a hurry at all.
He began to slowly gather information about the Cosmic Sea.
This information was only circulated among Immortal Emperors.
Ji Qing had communicated with Star River Realm Lord about the Cosmic Sea in the Eternal Universe, but he only obtained common knowledge, as Star River Realm Lord had never been to the Cosmic Sea.
The Immortal Emperors who remained in the Immortal Realm had also never been to the Cosmic Sea.
The information Ji Qing obtained about the Cosmic Sea was meager.
Unless he waited for those Immortal Emperors who had been to the Cosmic Sea and returned.
If he could communicate with them then, his understanding of the Cosmic Sea would certainly increase.
Time passed day by day.
Ji Qing could finally relax and didn’t have to strive for cultivation every day.
One hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years…
In the blink of an eye, five hundred years had passed.
Ji Qing did not deliberately cultivate during these five hundred years.
Instead, he spent more time with Ji Yao, Baoyue, and others.
On the contrary, the more it was like this, the more unexpected gains Ji Qing had.
For example, his mind.
In five hundred years, Ji Qing’s mind actually improved from the Tenth Realm Seventh Order to the Tenth Realm Ninth Order.
It was only one order away from Perfection.
This was quite rare.
Not to mention five hundred years, many Immortal Emperors did not experience any improvement in their mind realm even in five thousand or fifty thousand years.
As for Immortal Points, Ji Qing had accumulated over a million, reaching a staggering 1.2 million Immortal Points.
Ji Qing hadn’t used them much for the time being.
Ji Qing felt that the fortune accumulated over five hundred years should be about right.
He was now the number one Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Realm!
And the Lord of the Heavenly Court!
His fortune was far greater than at any other time.
Five hundred years of accumulation might exceed the fortune accumulated in the previous one thousand or even two thousand years.
With such immense fortune, reaching Tenth Realm Perfection for his mind was definitely not a problem.
As for surpassing the Tenth Realm mind.
Ji Qing currently had no clues.
It was said that the minds of the three Ancestors of Dao were also only at Tenth Realm Perfection.
Unable to break through.
“Mind…”
Ji Qing murmured in a low voice.
Regardless, when the time was ripe, he would definitely try.
Ji Qing was now slowly preparing, waiting for the opportune moment to use his heart to replace heaven’s heart and break through to Tenth Realm Perfection for his mind!
Even to break through the shackles of the Tenth Realm mind.
Just as Ji Qing was slowly preparing for his mind to break through, one day, the Immortal Realm became lively.
Because some Immortal Emperors had returned.
This was the first time an Immortal Emperor had returned since they all went to the Cosmic Sea.
“Reporting to the Immortal Emperor, there are three Immortal Emperors who have returned this time: Kongxiang Immortal Emperor, Yufeng Immortal Emperor, and Daoyi Immortal Emperor. They have returned to the Immortal Realm, though they are quite disheveled.”
“Hmm? Disheveled?”
Ji Qing raised his head, a flicker of a strange glint in his eyes.
Three great Immortal Emperors returning to the Immortal Realm together.
How could they be disheveled?
In the Immortal Realm, Immortal Emperors were supreme beings.
However, since the three Immortal Emperors were returning from the Cosmic Sea to the Immortal Realm, the only thing that could make them disheveled would be the dangers within the Cosmic Sea.
Did they encounter danger in the Cosmic Sea?
“Buzz.”
At this moment, Ji Qing’s Communication Stone vibrated.
“Hmm?”
“Communication from Jiutian Immortal Emperor?”
Ji Qing was somewhat surprised.
Jiutian Immortal Emperor was someone Ji Qing only knew in passing.
The three overlord-level forces in the First Heaven were the Xu Mi Immortal Sect, the Kunlun Immortal Sect, and the Jiutian Immortal Sect.
The Immortal Emperors of the other two great immortal sects had gone to the Cosmic Sea.
Only Jiutian Immortal Emperor had not gone to the Cosmic Sea.
Ji Qing and Jiutian Immortal Emperor had only met once; they were not familiar with each other.
Why would he suddenly send him a Communication Talisman?
Ji Qing immediately checked the content of the Communication Talisman.
“Kongxiang Immortal Emperor of the Eighth Heaven has summoned all Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm for a gathering? The matter is of great importance and relates to the Cosmic Sea…”
Ji Qing had not met Kongxiang Immortal Emperor, but he had heard that the Kongxiang Immortal Sect of the Eighth Heaven was also an overlord-level force, presumably founded by Kongxiang Immortal Emperor.
Ji Qing put away the Communication Stone.
Kongxiang Immortal Emperor was one of the three returning Immortal Emperors.
Ji Qing also wanted to know why the three Immortal Emperors were so disheveled when they returned to the Immortal Realm.
Therefore, Ji Qing stood up and took a step, leaving the Heavenly Court and instantly arriving at the Eighth Heaven.
Kongxiang Immortal Sect of the Eighth Heaven.
The Kongxiang Immortal Sect was currently on high alert.
To welcome the various Immortal Emperors.
When Ji Qing’s figure appeared in the Eighth Heaven, the Immortal Kings of the Kongxiang Immortal Sect immediately stepped forward to greet him.
“Greetings, Guixu Immortal Emperor!”
“Take me to see Kongxiang Immortal Emperor.”
“Please follow me, Guixu Immortal Emperor.”
Thus, Ji Qing followed this Immortal King and soon arrived at a magnificent Immortal Palace.
Pushing open the Great Door of the Immortal Palace, Ji Qing flew in.
“Swish.”
As Ji Qing entered the Great Hall of the Immortal Palace, his gaze was immediately drawn by numerous eyes.
Ji Qing saw some acquaintances.
For example, Jiutian Immortal Emperor who had sent him the Communication Talisman.
And some Immortal Emperors Ji Qing had met and who had remained in the Immortal Realm.
However, three of the Immortal Emperors were unfamiliar faces.
One of them was even seated in the main seat.
Ji Qing guessed that the one seated in the main seat was likely Kongxiang Immortal Emperor.
As for the other two unfamiliar faces, they were most likely the two Immortal Emperors who returned to the Immortal Realm with Kongxiang Immortal Emperor.
“Guixu Immortal Emperor has arrived.”
“Guixu Immortal Emperor, you are the last to arrive, we were just waiting for you.”
“Fellow Daoist Guixu, please take a seat.”
Ji Qing glanced at the seating arrangement.
His seat was next to Jiutian Immortal Emperor.
Ji Qing immediately sat down.
Kongxiang Immortal Emperor’s gaze lingered on Ji Qing for a moment.
The other two Immortal Emperors did the same.
They had just returned to the Immortal Realm and were about to summon the Immortal Emperors when they had already learned about some of the deeds of Ji Qing, this “Guixu Immortal Emperor.”
They knew that Ji Qing was once “Patrolling Heaven Heavenly King.”
But for Patrolling Heaven Heavenly King to achieve Immortal Emperor status in only three thousand years after becoming an Immortal King was simply incredible.
He had even once killed a Main God of the Gods Universe with a single strike, and was regarded as the current number one Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Realm, which was even more incredible, leaving Kongxiang Immortal Emperor and the other two Immortal Emperors greatly shocked.
“Esteemed Immortal Emperors, we three returned to the Immortal Realm this time for what was supposed to be a normal return. Unfortunately, we encountered some trouble on the way back. There are some terrifying Cosmic Giant Beasts in the Cosmic Sea. The three of us encountered a Cosmic Giant Beast, a Devouring Origin Giant Beast!”
“This Devouring Origin Giant Beast is extremely terrifying. We barely escaped with our lives after great difficulty, only to find ourselves being tracked by the Devouring Origin Giant Beast. We suspect that the Devouring Origin Giant Beast deliberately let us leave, with the intention of tracking us to the Immortal Realm. This is because the Devouring Origin race feeds on Cosmic Origin. In the Cosmic Sea, they are always searching for universes. Once found, they will devour the Cosmic Origin.”
“And once a universe loses its origin, it can no longer cultivate. The Immortal Spiritual Energy disappears, and all environments for cultivation and transcendence will regress, eventually becoming a universe with only mortals…”
As Kongxiang Immortal Emperor described, many Immortal Emperors were shocked.
These three Immortal Emperors had indeed encountered trouble.
And the trouble was considerable.
“Is the strength of the Devouring Origin Giant Beast really that powerful? Even the combined efforts of three Immortal Emperors were no match?”
An Immortal Emperor asked.
Kongxiang Immortal Emperor shook his head and said, “When the three of us say we teamed up, it was actually just a continuous escape. We didn’t even have the qualification to fight the Devouring Origin Giant Beast. Especially an adult Devouring Origin Giant Beast, its strength is immensely powerful. We must find a way, otherwise the Immortal Realm’s Origin might be in danger…”
In fact, if the Immortal Realm’s Origin was in danger, the Immortal Emperors would not be affected at all.
Immortal Kings would also not be affected.
But for those below Immortal King, it would be troublesome.
They would be unable to cultivate in the future.
Without even Immortal Spiritual Energy, how could they cultivate?
Although Immortal Kings would not be affected, it would be almost impossible for them to advance further.
Immortal Emperors, on the other hand, could simply leave and explore the Cosmic Sea.
But the Immortal Realm was the homeland and foundation of the Immortal Emperors.
Who would want their Immortal Realm to be in trouble?
“What about the Ancestors of Dao? This kind of matter should be reported to the Ancestors of Dao; perhaps they can find a solution.”
An Immortal Emperor immediately thought of the Ancestors of Dao.
In such situations, it was usually the Ancestors of Dao who dealt with them.
“The Ancestors of Dao are in Tian Wen City, which is too far away to contact. There is only one method now, which is to send someone to leave the Immortal Realm and rush to Tian Wen City, but the risk is too great. Outside, there are Devouring Origin Giant Beasts. Once one goes out, they might be swallowed by a Devouring Origin Giant Beast in one bite. Furthermore, for an Immortal Emperor to travel to Tian Wen City alone is almost a near-death experience; it’s difficult to even reach Tian Wen City.”
“The second method is for all Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm to join forces and battle the Devouring Origin Giant Beast! Perhaps we can drive away the Devouring Origin Giant Beast…”
Kongxiang Immortal Emperor’s words made the Immortal Emperors in the Great Hall look grim.
Could they drive away such a terrifying Devouring Origin Giant Beast by joining forces?
Looking at the Great Hall, there were only about a dozen Immortal Emperors in total.
Even if they joined forces, the possibility of driving away the Devouring Origin Giant Beast was slim.
But if they did nothing and just let the Devouring Origin Giant Beast devour the Immortal Realm’s Origin?
If they really did that, when the three Ancestors of Dao returned, they wouldn’t let them off.
“Didn’t the Gods Universe and the Eternal Universe form cosmic passages after colliding with the Immortal Realm? The three universes should be connected. Why don’t we, the three universes, join forces to resist the Devouring Origin Giant Beast?”
Ji Qing suddenly spoke.
Instantly, everyone’s eyes lit up.
Yes, with the three universes connected, it would be a feast for the Devouring Origin Giant Beast.
How could it only devour the Immortal Realm’s Origin?
The Origins of the Gods Universe and the Eternal Universe would also be devoured.
“Right, notify the Eternal Universe and the Gods Universe. The Devouring Origin Giant Beast is a common threat. If those two universes can handle it, then we won’t need to…”
“However, we must also prepare for the worst.”
Thus, everyone immediately took action.
They successively notified the Eternal Universe and the Gods Universe.
Soon, the Eternal Universe responded.
They were willing to join forces to expel the Devouring Origin Giant Beast.
However, there was no response from the Gods Universe.
This was also normal.
The Gods Universe was in an adversarial relationship with the Immortal Realm and the Eternal Universe, so it was normal for them not to want to join forces.
Perhaps, they harbored a sliver of hope.
What if the Devouring Origin Giant Beast couldn’t find the three universes?
Time passed day by day.
One year, three years, five years, eight years, ten years…
Finally, ten years passed.
Suddenly, all cultivators above Immortal King within the Immortal Realm seemed to feel a sense of dread.
A dread from the depths of their souls.
“It’s here, the Devouring Origin Giant Beast has arrived…”
Kongxiang Immortal Emperor immediately notified all Immortal Emperors.
Ji Qing also quickly arrived at the Immortal Realm’s cosmic barrier.
This cosmic barrier had a passage.
This passage could be used to leave the Immortal Realm and enter the Cosmic Sea.
And now, Ji Qing extended his consciousness through this passage.
When his consciousness extended out, what did he see?
An unparalleled giant beast.
Impossibly massive.
Even larger than the Immortal Realm itself.
Only then did Ji Qing understand the meaning of “Cosmic Giant Beast.”
This “giant beast” was not just a figure of speech; it was truly so enormous that it rivaled universes, even surpassing many universes.
Such a colossal giant beast, its sheer size alone could instill despair.
No wonder Kongxiang Immortal Emperor and the other two Immortal Emperors fled frantically upon seeing the Devouring Origin Giant Beast.
How could one fight such a giant beast?
“According to news from the Eternal Universe, the Lord of the Universe of the Eternal Universe has also gone to the Cosmic Sea.”
“Furthermore, based on various clues, the Creation God of the Gods Universe also went to the Cosmic Sea and is currently not in the Gods Universe.”
“Therefore, we are truly in trouble! We can only rely on us ‘Cosmic Level’ cultivators to join forces…”
Kongxiang Immortal Emperor said with a solemn tone.
In the Cosmic Sea, cultivators whose realms are referred to as Immortal Emperor, Main God, World Lord, and so on, are collectively called “Cosmic Level.”
Enlightened Ones are also Cosmic Level.
After all, in the vast Cosmic Sea, there are all sorts of cultivation systems.
However, no matter how many cultivation systems there are, they all lead to the same destination. As long as the power reaches the “Cosmic Level,” they are Cosmic Level powerhouses, and theoretically, they can venture into the Cosmic Sea.
Without reaching the Cosmic Level, one is not even qualified to venture into the Cosmic Sea.
“We cannot let the Devouring Origin Giant Beast get close to the Immortal Realm. The World Lords of the Eternal Universe are also preparing to mobilize their entire forces and are willing to join hands with our Immortal Realm. Therefore…”
Kongxiang Immortal Emperor’s gaze swept across each of the Immortal Emperors.
“Attack! We can only attack at this time.”
“We must try, no matter what.”
“Moreover, we have the World Lords of the Eternal Universe joining forces.”
About a dozen Immortal Emperors nodded in agreement.
“Good, let’s not delay. We’ll depart for the Cosmic Sea immediately! The World Lords of the Eternal Universe will also rendezvous in the Cosmic Sea.”
Ten Immortal Emperors immediately flew towards the cosmic passage leading to the Cosmic Sea.
Ji Qing did not expect to go to the Cosmic Sea so soon.
However, in the current situation, he had no choice but to go.
Thus, Ji Qing also stepped into the cosmic passage.
“Whoosh.”
When Ji Qing flew out of the cosmic passage, he immediately felt a completely different sensation from being in the Immortal Realm.
In the Immortal Realm, he always felt a sense of “rejection.”
That was rejection from the “Heavenly Dao” of the Immortal Realm.
However, upon arriving in the Cosmic Sea, Ji Qing no longer felt that rejection.
Instead, he felt an immense sense of “ease.”
It was as if a person no longer had to curl up in a cramped space, but had arrived in a spacious area; that feeling was very good.
However, being in the Cosmic Sea gave a feeling akin to being in a “quagmire.”
It was also incredibly empty all around.
“It’s understandable to not be fully adapted when entering the Cosmic Sea for the first time. It’s filled with all sorts of substances, very varied, and in reality, most of them are useless. Infinitely many substances piled up, much like seawater in the ocean, making even Cosmic Level beings feel as if they are in a quagmire.”
“Therefore, it is called the Cosmic Sea! And the Cosmic Sea is boundless; Cosmic Level beings, even if they live their entire lives, cannot reach its end.”
Kongxiang Immortal Emperor explained in detail.
Most of the dozen or so Immortal Emperors had never entered the Cosmic Sea before and found it quite novel.
Ji Qing was the same.
It was also his first time entering the Cosmic Sea.
He reached out and scooped something from beside him.
He scooped up a large amount of matter.
However, this matter was indeed useless.
It was all sorts of things.
Where did so much matter come from?
Some of it was dust from the annihilation of various universes.
Some of it was ejected from universes.
However, among the vast amount of matter, there were bound to be some treasures.
And with the accumulation over time, perhaps extremely precious treasures could be born.
This was also why many Cosmic Level cultivators were willing to venture into the Cosmic Sea.
The Cosmic Sea was filled with treasures everywhere.
Provided one had the opportunity.
And one had to survive.
“Is that the World Lords of the Eternal Universe?”
At this moment, a group of World Lords from the Eternal Universe also spotted the numerous Immortal Emperors from the Immortal Realm.
However, there were as many as a hundred World Lords from the Eternal Universe.
There were only about a dozen Immortal Emperors from the Immortal Realm.
The gap was too large.
However, the situation in the Eternal Universe was different from that of the Immortal Realm.
The Lord of the Universe of the Eternal Universe had not found a foothold in the Cosmic Sea and was still exploring it; thus, he could not take a large number of World Lords to venture into the Cosmic Sea.
In contrast, the Immortal Realm had many Immortal Emperors taken away by the three Ancestors of Dao.
However, not taking away a large number of World Lords was a good thing.
The two sides immediately drew closer and gathered together in the Cosmic Sea.
Ji Qing also saw some familiar World Lords from the Eternal Universe.
For instance, the Star Sea World Lord.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, we meet again.”
Ji Qing also nodded and said, “I didn’t expect to meet again in this way. This time, your Eternal Universe has contributed greatly, but the Gods Universe…”
In fact, cultivators from both the Immortal Realm and the Eternal Universe could see that no Main God from the Gods Universe had appeared.
This indicated they were not planning to join forces with the two great universes.
“Everyone, the Devouring Origin Giant Beast is getting closer. If we are to act, we must do so quickly!”
Kongxiang Immortal Emperor’s words reached everyone’s ears.
Everyone looked up.
Indeed, the incredibly massive Devouring Origin Giant Beast in the distance was getting closer and closer.
The opponent also sensed the three universes, and its heart was even more excited.
It even increased its speed considerably.
Seeing the beast of such enormous size, everyone inwardly lamented.
It was truly unimaginable that such a colossal beast could be nurtured in the Cosmic Sea.
“Everyone, attack!”
Suddenly, Kongxiang Immortal Emperor shouted.
Thus, the Immortal Emperors unleashed their respective Great Daos.
Various Great Daos manifested, and immortal techniques were displayed one after another, shaking the heavens and earth.
The over a hundred World Lords were even more astonishing; they directly transformed into Heavenly Bodies, positioning themselves in front of the Devouring Origin Giant Beast.
Defense was the strongest ability of the World Lords.
As long as they transformed into Heavenly Bodies, they could hold on even if besieged by the Main Gods of the Gods Universe with their Divine Kingdoms.
All the over a hundred World Lords transformed into Heavenly Bodies, densely forming a terrifying interception net.
This scene was very shocking.
However, as the Devouring Origin Giant Beast slowly approached step by step.
The deterrent force it exerted on everyone grew even greater.
“Rumble.”
First, the Immortal Emperors’ immortal techniques attacked, hitting the Devouring Origin Giant Beast from afar.
Then, there was no “then.”
The various immortal techniques were like mere tickles to the Devouring Origin Giant Beast.
They could not break through the Devouring Origin Giant Beast’s defenses at all.
“Clang.”
Ji Qing drew his saber.
He unleashed a saber slash, employing the “Return to Ruin” Saber Technique.
It tore through the Cosmic Sea, and wherever it passed, even the Cosmic Sea turned into void.
However, his usually unstoppable saber technique still failed.
Ji Qing could clearly feel that the saber slash had landed on the Devouring Origin Giant Beast.
However, it was completely useless.
It couldn’t injure the Devouring Origin Giant Beast at all.
This was the first time since Ji Qing became an Immortal Emperor that his “Return to Ruin” Saber Technique had been utterly ineffective.
As the Devouring Origin Giant Beast approached the Heavenly Bodies formed by over a hundred World Lords, an even more shocking scene unfolded.
The innumerable net of Heavenly Bodies, each representing a World Lord.
But now?
The Devouring Origin Giant Beast charged straight through, shattering the Heavenly Bodies.
They couldn’t resist!
They simply couldn’t resist!
Even the heavily defended Heavenly Bodies couldn’t withstand the charge of the Devouring Origin Giant Beast.
In an instant, countless World Lords were heavily injured.
Some World Lords even perished.
In the first exchange, the World Lords of the Eternal Universe suffered heavy losses!
“How could this be?”
“What should we do?”
“We can’t stop it, we absolutely can’t stop it!”
Everyone’s faces were grim.
“The Devouring Origin Giant Beast cannot be stopped anymore. Let’s return to the Immortal Realm first. Fellow Daoists of the Eternal Universe, you should also return and think of a solution. If there is truly no way, then everyone must rely on their own fate.”
Kongxiang Immortal Emperor did not hesitate and immediately turned back towards the Immortal Realm.
Ji Qing cast a deep glance at the Devouring Origin Giant Beast.
It was his first time dealing with a life form from the Cosmic Sea.
He never expected that his proud “Return to Ruin” Saber Technique would be completely useless.
This was far beyond Ji Qing’s expectations.
It seemed he had been “sitting in a well looking at the sky” in the Immortal Realm.
To become stronger, he still had to venture into the Cosmic Sea.
Staying in the Immortal Realm would not guarantee peace of mind.
If he encountered such a cosmic giant beast, he could only wait for death.
“Whoosh.”
Ji Qing also quickly returned to the Immortal Realm.
Everyone stood before the cosmic passage, staring intently at the Devouring Origin Giant Beast.
There were three universes here.
Which universe’s Origin would the Devouring Origin Giant Beast devour first?
If it devoured the Origin of the Gods Universe or the Eternal Universe first, the Immortal Realm would have more room to maneuver.
They could even risk sending people to Tian Wen City to seek help from the three Ancestors of Dao.
But if the Devouring Origin Giant Beast were to devour the Origin of the Immortal Realm first, the Immortal Realm’s troubles would be immense…
Thus, everyone stared intently at the Devouring Origin Giant Beast.
Slowly, the Devouring Origin Giant Beast grew closer and closer.
At this moment, it was likely that not only the Immortal Realm but also cultivators from the other two universes were nervously watching the Devouring Origin Giant Beast.
Everyone hoped for “my fellow daoist to die, not me.”
