Chapter 308: Main God Descends, Ji Qing Annihilates With One Saber Slash, All Things Return To Ruin! New Title, Guixu Immortal Emperor!
“Shua.”
Ji Qing took a step and had already traversed an immeasurable distance, arriving directly at the Ninth Heaven.
Space before Ji Qing was like a map; he could instantly reach any part of the vast Immortal Realm.
As Ji Qing entered the Ninth Heaven, he saw a familiar figure.
“Guang Xing Domain Lord? You haven’t returned to the Eternal Universe yet and are still stationed in the Ninth Heaven?”
Ji Qing was somewhat surprised.
He remembered that the Guang Xing Domain Lord had led many domain lords to support the Immortal Realm. After defeating over four hundred God Kings from the Gods Universe, most of the domain lords had returned to the Eternal Universe.
Only a small portion remained in the Ninth Heaven, monitoring the cosmic passage with the Immortal Kings.
He hadn’t expected the Guang Xing Domain Lord to be among them.
The Guang Xing Domain Lord also saw Ji Qing, but his expression was somewhat complex. He no longer addressed Ji Qing as “Fellow Daoist” as before, but instead respectfully bowed and said, “Greetings, Immortal Emperor!”
In the Eternal Universe, an Immortal Emperor was comparable to a World Lord.
He never imagined that a comrade-in-arms with whom he had fought side-by-side would now become an Immortal Emperor.
The Guang Xing Domain Lord was already one of the top domain lords in the Eternal Universe.
However, to become a World Lord, he still had no direction.
It was unlikely he would achieve World Lord status in this lifetime.
“Domain Lord Guang Xing, there’s no need to be so formal.”
Ji Qing had a good impression of the Guang Xing Domain Lord.
It was somewhat miraculous, in fact.
The Eternal Universe was the first universe to invade the Immortal Realm.
However, due to the Gods Universe, the Eternal Universe and the Immortal Realm instead joined forces.
Furthermore, the relationship between the Eternal Universe and the Immortal Realm was now excellent.
Some cultivators from both sides had even engaged in exchanges.
Even Immortal King level powerhouses had entered the Eternal Universe.
Similarly, many domain lords had entered the Immortal Realm.
The high-ranking officials of both sides also had excellent relations.
Of course, the fundamental reason was that both sides were evenly matched, and neither could do anything to the other.
Without threats, it was naturally possible to become friends.
This was currently the relationship between the Immortal Realm and the Eternal Universe.
Ji Qing remembered he had a clone in the Eternal Universe and wondered about its situation.
Now that the relationship between the Immortal Realm and the Eternal Universe had eased, he would find time to visit the Eternal Universe to check on it.
However, he had to deal with the Gods Universe first.
At this moment, some Immortal Kings also arrived and bowed to Ji Qing.
“Tell me, what is the situation with the Gods Universe now?”
Ji Qing asked.
“Reporting to the Immortal Emperor, we have been strictly monitoring the cosmic passage. Initially, there was nothing unusual, but yesterday, a terrifying aura erupted from within the cosmic passage. Immediately after, all the God Kings and Domain Lords stationed outside the cosmic passage perished.”
“Subsequently, a large number of God Kings entered the Immortal Realm, but they did not launch a large-scale offensive. Instead, they occupied a portion of the territory and stopped, transmitting a message that they would only occupy this area and had no intention of expanding.”
“Their actions are very strange, but their expansion is not strong. They simply forcibly occupied a region, and we lost some God Kings, and the Eternal Universe also lost some Domain Lords. We suspect that there might be a Main God present, so they dared not act rashly, which is why they transmitted a message to you…”
Ji Qing understood.
Currently, in the Immortal Realm, there were no Enlightened Ones.
There were only a handful of Immortal Emperors.
The only one capable of making decisions was Ji Qing, the “acting” Lord of the Heavenly Court, who had just been promoted to Immortal Emperor.
Even if they had a Main God, Ji Qing could contend with him.
“Main God…”
Ji Qing nodded. “Regardless of their reasons, forcibly entering the Immortal Realm and killing God Kings and Domain Lords makes them enemies! I, this Emperor, will go and face their Main God.”
After speaking, Ji Qing, along with many God Kings and Domain Lords, headed straight for the cosmic passage.
Soon, Ji Qing arrived before a massive Divine Kingdom.
This Divine Kingdom was not a God King’s Divine Kingdom.
Ji Qing could tell at a glance that it was countless times more powerful than a God King’s Divine Kingdom.
This was a Main God’s Divine Kingdom!
“Main God…”
Main Gods were comparable to Immortal Emperors.
Moreover, within the Main God’s Divine Kingdom, many God Kings’ Divine Kingdoms were also superimposed, making this Divine Kingdom impregnable.
As soon as Ji Qing appeared, a figure condensed from within the Divine Kingdom.
This was merely a divine power manifestation.
“I am the Ice Fire Main God! Due to some events within the Gods Universe, I was forced to bring my Divine System and a series of Deities to the Immortal Realm to seek refuge. This journey is solely for seeking refuge, and I will not expand within the Immortal Realm.”
“Seek refuge?”
Ji Qing had considered all sorts of possibilities, but he had never thought of this one.
They were actually here to seek refuge?
What had happened in the Gods Universe to force a Main God to flee to the Immortal Realm for refuge?
“You can see that I have been very restrained on this journey. Besides acting outside the cosmic passage earlier, I have not made another move, nor have I continued to expand. This is my sincerity!”
Even though this Ice Fire Main God was seeking refuge, his tone was still condescending.
It was as if everything he had done was already giving the Immortal Realm enough face.
Not expanding proactively was a courtesy to the Immortal Realm.
Ji Qing was almost amused to anger.
This was the arrogance of the Gods Universe!
Even a Main God fleeing for refuge was still condescending, inherently feeling superior to cultivators from other universes.
Ji Qing took a deep breath and said coldly, “Seeking refuge? Ice Fire Main God, you have now instigated a war between two realms, and you still consider it a minor matter?”
“Invading my Immortal Realm and killing my Immortal Kings is a path to death!”
“I, this Emperor, sentence you—death!”
As Ji Qing’s voice fell.
“Clang.”
Ji Qing drew his sword.
A blade light instantly flashed.
However, the brilliant blade light brought not amazement, but terror!
Because, under the blade light, everything turned to dust.
This was pure destruction, pure annihilation.
And it was ultimate annihilation.
This was Ji Qing’s ultimate strike, Return to Ruin!
Ji Qing had actually never used this saber technique since he created it.
He had created this growable saber technique when he was an Immortal King. Its might primarily depended on his own Great Dao.
The stronger his Great Dao grew, the stronger the might of this strike would become.
Now, Ji Qing’s three Great Daos had grown to the Cosmic Level.
He could no longer advance further in the Immortal Realm.
Therefore, the might of this ultimate strike had been raised to its peak.
The manifested effect was: when the saber strikes, everything returns to ruin!
Be it the Void or the Divine Kingdom.
Be it a Main God or a God King.
Everything around them seemed so weak and powerless under this strike.
“No, this is…”
The Ice Fire Main God’s eyes widened.
He was the Ice Fire Main God, in charge of ice and fire.
His Divine Kingdom contained the power of ice and fire. Even when facing other Main Gods or other Immortal Emperors, his Ice Fire Divine Kingdom was extremely terrifying and would never be at a disadvantage.
But now?
Return to Ruin!
Everything returned to ruin!
His proud Ice Fire Divine Kingdom was so fragile before this strike, directly returning to ruin, with everything annihilated.
And the vast Divine Kingdom, God Kings, and so on.
This entire vast area was completely reduced to nothingness under this strike.
Even Ji Qing himself was shocked.
He looked at the scene before him.
The blade light disappeared, and the vast Divine Kingdom before him also disappeared.
Not only the Divine Kingdom, but also the countless God Kings, Deities, and so on within the Divine Kingdom had all completely “disappeared,” turning into nothingness, as if they had never existed.
Even this area of Void “disappeared.”
This area had now become a void.
There was nothing left.
This was Return to Ruin!
Even though Ji Qing had created this saber technique himself, now, after unleashing it with his full power, Ji Qing himself seemed unable to believe it.
This saber technique seemed to be outrageously powerful.
That was a Main God.
Along with so many God Kings.
As a result, one strike, and they all turned into nothingness!
What was this?
Silence!
It was utterly silent all around.
The Guang Xing Domain Lord had initially thought there would be a fierce battle and had even prepared himself.
In the end, it was just this?
He hadn’t even made a move, and that Main God, along with countless God Kings and Deities, had all turned to ashes.
And it was in full view of everyone.
Not only the Guang Xing Domain Lord, but also some Immortal Kings, Immortal Venerables, Immortal Lords, and so on, had witnessed this scene with their own eyes.
They had fought many difficult battles against the Deities of the Gods Universe.
This time, with the presence of a Main God, they thought it might also be a tough fight.
But the result was that the terrifying Main God, under the strike of Ji Qing, this “Immortal Emperor,” had turned to ashes.
It seemed… too easy.
Was that Main God a fake?
No, absolutely not a fake.
Everyone had seen the Divine Kingdom of that Main God.
Just touching it made even God Kings feel a palpitation.
Let alone annihilating it with a single strike.
“Ji… Immortal Emperor, what is this strike called?”
The Guang Xing Domain Lord suddenly asked.
“This saber technique was created by myself, named Return to Ruin!”
“Return to Ruin… Well said, Return to Ruin! It is truly fitting, a magnificent saber, truly a magnificent saber technique… with one strike, all things return to ruin!”
Many Immortal Kings also nodded in agreement.
This strike was indeed too terrifying.
This entire area was still a void.
“Return to Ruin” lived up to its name!
“Immortal Emperor was once known as ‘Patrolling Heaven,’ but I feel this title is not fitting at all. He should be called the ‘Return to Ruin’ Immortal Emperor.”
“Yes, it should be the Return to Ruin Immortal Emperor! With one strike, all things return to ruin! How terrifying is that?”
“Hahaha, with us having the Return to Ruin Immortal Emperor, we don’t need to fear even if a Main God descends from the Gods Universe. Who can withstand the strike of the Return to Ruin Immortal Emperor?”
“Hail the Return to Ruin Immortal Emperor…”
Many Immortals, from the bottom of their hearts, gave Ji Qing a new title.
Return to Ruin Immortal Emperor!
“Return to Ruin…”
Ji Qing also murmured the name in a low voice.
Indeed, this title was more fitting than “Patrolling Heaven.”
“Patrolling Heaven” was more like the Heaven Patrol Hall.
Whereas “Return to Ruin” truly reflected Ji Qing’s current characteristics.
From then on, the title “Return to Ruin Immortal Emperor” resounded throughout the Immortal Realm!
It seemed that from this day forward, the entire Immortal Realm began to recognize Ji Qing, the “Return to Ruin Immortal Emperor,” as the true Lord of the Heavenly Court!
This battle had a profound impact.
It caused quite a stir in the Immortal Realm.
It even led several Immortal Emperors to personally visit Ji Qing.
These Immortal Emperors, for various reasons, had not ventured into the Cosmic Sea.
However, after visiting Ji Qing, they all had complex expressions.
It is said that they all witnessed a saber technique named “Return to Ruin.”
They were all convinced.
With fewer Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm and the three Ancestors of Dao absent, Ji Qing had implicitly become the foremost Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Realm!
The foremost person in the Immortal Realm!
Time passed day by day.
Ji Qing was not in the Thirty-fourth Heaven, but above it.
Because, a Chaos Space had formed here.
Of course, it was just the most basic Chaos Space, still very chaotic.
Even an Immortal King entering might be annihilated.
Only Immortal Emperors could barely enter, relying on their Cosmic Great Dao to resist.
However, Ji Qing did not rely on his Cosmic Great Dao to resist; instead, he manifested his Chaos Demon God Body.
The Eighth Order Chaos Demon God Body was also comparable to an Immortal Emperor, and it moved as if in water within the Chaos Space, very comfortable.
With the vast Chaos Space, Ji Qing could absorb Chaos Qi without restraint. For Ji Qing, only Chaos Space could allow his Eighth Order Chaos Demon God Body to steadily improve.
And within the Chaos Space, Ji Qing exclusively enjoyed the Chaos Qi, causing his Chaos Demon God Body to improve exceptionally quickly.
Approximately 1% progress could be made each year.
Ji Qing spent nearly a hundred years in the Chaos Space.
Perhaps in the next few days, his Chaos Demon God Body would reach perfection.
Time flew, and three days later.
“Boom.”
Ji Qing’s Chaos Demon God Body trembled slightly.
With just a slight tremor, it was as if a space storm had erupted within the Chaos Space.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing’s eyes opened instantly.
“It’s finally done…”
Ji Qing immediately checked his own stats.
Ji Qing: Immortal Emperor
Space Great Dao: Cosmic Level
Five Elements Great Dao: Cosmic Level
Saber Great Dao: Cosmic Level
Chaos Demon God: Eighth Order（Perfection）
Mind: Tenth Realm Seventh Order（Immortal Characteristic）
Immortal Points: 210,000
Indeed, Ji Qing’s Chaos Demon God had reached perfection.
It only took a mere hundred years to reach perfection; this newly formed Chaos Space was indispensable!
As for Immortal Points, they also exceeded two hundred thousand.
This was also normal.
In recent years, Ji Qing had been accumulating Immortal Points.
With almost no consumption.
Day by day, they naturally increased.
Only the Mind had not yet reached perfection.
But there was no rush. Ji Qing only needed to accumulate Fortune, and then he could use his heart to replace heaven’s heart, making Mind Perfection easy.
Moreover, this time Ji Qing intended to accumulate enough Fortune.
He wanted to see if he could break through.
If not, could he, with his Tenth Realm Perfection Mind, obtain the Immortal Realm Authority and become the fourth Enlightened One of the Immortal Realm, the fourth Ancestor of Dao!
Therefore, the more Fortune, the better; more time was needed for accumulation.
“Whoosh.”
Ji Qing rose and left the Chaos Space.
Since his Chaos Demon God Body had reached perfection, there was no need to stay in the Chaos Space.
Ji Qing returned to the Heavenly Court.
For his next step, Ji Qing already had a goal.
The Eternal Universe!
He had to go to the Eternal Universe!
First, to retrieve his Curse Clone, and second, to personally see the Eternal Universe.
In recent years, the Immortal Realm and the Eternal Universe had maintained good relations, with frequent personnel exchanges between the two universes.
In fact, quite a few Immortal Kings had already visited the Eternal Universe.
However, Ji Qing was an Immortal Emperor, and currently the foremost Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Realm, moreover, the Lord of the Heavenly Court. His status was now completely different.
Therefore, when Ji Qing went to the Eternal Universe, he definitely couldn’t go directly like other Immortal Kings.
He had to inform the Eternal Universe.
And obtain their consent, to avoid any misunderstandings.
Thus, Ji Qing, under the name of the Heavenly Court, immediately submitted an application to the Immortal Kings of the Eternal Universe, stating his intention to visit.
This news immediately reached the high-level officials of the Eternal Universe.
“Immortal Emperor Guixu” is coming to the Eternal Universe?
This was a momentous occasion!
After all, the current “Immortal Emperor Guixu” could, to some extent, represent the Immortal Realm.
Ji Qing did not rush; he could just wait patiently.
Time passed day by day.
One month, three months, five months, eight months, one year…
A full year had passed.
The message had long been sent to the Eternal Universe.
Yet, there was still no reply.
Could it be that the Eternal Universe took a year to decide whether Ji Qing could visit?
Ji Qing was now the Lord of the Heavenly Court, and knowing he was going to the Eternal Universe, his identity was indeed somewhat troublesome.
Therefore, he continued to wait.
“Reporting to the Immortal Emperor! Just now, Domain Lord Guang Xing from the Eternal Universe sent a message, you may now go to the Eternal Universe!”
Finally, the Heavenly Court received the news; the Eternal Universe had agreed.
“Good!”
A smile appeared on Ji Qing’s face.
This time, he did not plan to bring anyone.
He would travel to the Eternal Universe alone.
So Ji Qing stood up, his figure flickered, and he arrived at the First Heaven.
The universe channel to the Gods Universe was in the Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Realm.
The universe channel to the Eternal Universe, however, was in the First Heaven.
Ji Qing still remembered that time when he and Senior Brother Cangwu Immortal Lord fought against cultivators from the Eternal Universe on the battlefield.
His Curse Clone had entered the Eternal Universe through this universe channel from the First Heaven.
It was just that the war between the Eternal Universe and the Immortal Realm had never been particularly intense.
It was far less so compared to the Gods Universe.
The war between the Gods Universe and the Immortal Realm had almost shattered the Ninth Heaven.
The war between the Eternal Universe and the Immortal Realm in the First Heaven had not even significantly affected the three dominant forces, which showed that the intensity of the war was actually not great.
Of course, now there wasn’t even this slight intensity of war. The Immortal Realm and the Eternal Universe now had a strong relationship, exchanging resources and information, with unprecedentedly good relations.
Ji Qing arrived at the universe channel in the First Heaven.
This universe channel was very lively.
Many True Immortals, Immortal Lords, Heavenly Venerates, Star Lords, and so on, were constantly coming and going.
Continuously entering and exiting.
Although there were Immortals guarding the universe channel, the management was not strictly enforced.
This universe channel was still under the control of the Heavenly Court.
When Ji Qing descended.
The guards of the Heavenly Court saw Ji Qing immediately and respectfully saluted: “Greetings, Immortal Emperor!”
Seeing the Heavenly Court guards salute, many other Immortals, and even Heavenly Venerates and Star Lords from the Eternal Universe, also bowed towards Ji Qing: “Greetings, Immortal Emperor Guixu!”
Clearly, they also recognized Ji Qing’s identity.
The legend of the Immortal Realm.
The Lord of the Heavenly Court.
Possessing three Cosmic Great Daos.
The foremost Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Realm!
Immortal Emperor Guixu, Ji Qing!
Many Immortal Venerables did not even have the qualification to see such a legendary figure.
And now, seeing this legendary Immortal Emperor, many people were incredibly excited.
“This Emperor is going to the Eternal Universe.”
“Reporting to the Immortal Emperor, the Eternal Universe has dispatched Star River Realm Lord to greet you at the other end of the universe channel.”
Ji Qing nodded.
A Realm Lord was comparable to an Immortal Emperor.
It seemed that his trip to the Eternal Universe this time was taken very seriously by them, sparing no effort to send a Realm Lord to greet him.
Ji Qing nodded.
He looked at the universe channel in the distance.
Originally, this universe channel could not accommodate Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses, but it had been “widened” by the joint efforts of the Heavenly Court and the Eternal Universe, making it sufficient for Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses to enter the channel.
“Whoosh.”
The next moment, Ji Qing stepped forward and instantly flew into the universe channel.
This was Ji Qing’s first time “personally” traversing a universe channel.
He felt a sense of compression.
But almost instantly, Ji Qing passed through the universe channel.
He looked up and saw the vast starry sky.
He also felt various auras that were distinctly different from the Immortal Realm.
However, the Great Dao Rules were essentially the same.
It’s just that Ji Qing was an Immortal Emperor, and his own Dao was tainted with the aura of the Immortal Realm’s Dao. Arriving rashly in the Eternal Universe, he would be “disliked” by the Eternal Universe, and even subtly rejected.
This was also normal.
It would be the same if a Main God or a Realm Lord came to the Immortal Realm.
For an Immortal Emperor-level cultivator, this “rejection” was negligible.
“Immortal Emperor Guixu, your esteemed presence gracing the Eternal Universe, we have failed to extend a proper welcome!”
At this moment, an unfamiliar voice sounded.
Ji Qing looked to the side.
There was a cultivator emanating a powerful aura, likely the Star River Realm Lord, and many Domain Lords, all waiting to welcome Ji Qing in the starry sky.
“Greetings, Star River Realm Lord. Thank you for your trouble.”
Ji Qing was not arrogant.
On the contrary, he was quite low-key.
After all, this was the Eternal Universe, their territory.
“Immortal Emperor Guixu, your arrival in the Eternal Universe brings great joy to all of us. Please accompany me back to Star River Territory first, and I will show you the various sights of our Eternal Universe.”
Ji Qing nodded: “I will follow the Star River Realm Lord’s arrangements.”
Thus, Ji Qing, along with the Star River Realm Lord and others, traversed the void amidst the vast and boundless starry sky.
In the blink of an eye, the group returned to Star River Territory.
This vast cosmic territory belonged entirely to the Star River Realm Lord.
Under the Star River Realm Lord, there were many Domain Lords, Star Gods, and so on.
Even Heavenly Venerates were considered insignificant existences.
Ji Qing already knew a lot about the Eternal Universe, as the two sides had been exchanging information for many years, and they were quite familiar with each other.
The primary objective of Ji Qing’s visit to the Eternal Universe this time was to retrieve his Curse Clone.
He just didn’t know how his Curse Clone was doing now?
When Ji Qing was arranged to rest in a palace in Star River Territory, he began to receive various memories from his Curse Clone.
“Boom.”
The vast memory unfolded in Ji Qing’s mind.
Ji Qing discovered that the Curse Clone had already become a Heavenly Venerate.
Not only did he become a Heavenly Venerate, but he also smoothly ascended to become a Star God.
His title was the Curse Star God!
“Star God…”
In fact, a Star God was equivalent to an Immortal Venerable.
To achieve Star God status in such a short time was already quite impressive.
Of course, it couldn’t compare to the true body.
After all, the Curse Clone did not have the Demon Record.
Relying solely on his own cultivation to reach Star God in such a short period was enough to demonstrate the Curse Clone’s talent.
However, Ji Qing frowned.
While a Star God was indeed good, what use was a single Star God now that he had recalled it?
He was now an Immortal Emperor!
Equivalent to a World Lord in the Eternal Universe.
Above Star Gods were Domain Lords, and above Domain Lords were World Lords.
Originally, Ji Qing had intended for the Curse God to cultivate to the peak and then merge with him to assault higher realms.
But now, it seemed this Curse Clone was somewhat “redundant.”
It was far from keeping up with Ji Qing’s true body’s cultivation speed.
It could only be said that circumstances had changed.
Even Ji Qing himself had not expected his true body’s cultivation speed to become this fast, to the point of achieving Immortal Emperor.
Ji Qing weighed the situation.
“I still need to recall it. It’s not impossible to reference the cultivation system of the Eternal Universe…”
Ji Qing pondered, realizing that the Curse Clone still had its uses.
In fact, the Demon Record could also be used on the Curse Clone.
However, it would require merging with the true body.
With that in mind, Ji Qing immediately summoned the Curse Clone back.
Time passed little by little.
Ji Qing spent every day in the Star River territory, engaging in lively conversations with the Star River Realm Lord.
The Star River Realm Lord was also very generous, providing every convenience Ji Qing desired.
“Hmm?”
“The Curse Clone wanted to leave but ran into trouble? Now it seems… it can’t leave?”
Ji Qing frowned.
He had originally intended to recall the Curse Clone.
However, the Curse Clone had encountered trouble.
It was temporarily unable to extricate itself.
As for what kind of trouble it was, Ji Qing’s memory was slowly synchronizing with the Curse Clone’s, and he had a general understanding.
“The Curse Clone has significant trouble in the Eternal Universe, facing difficulties even in leaving temporarily…”
Although the Curse Clone had encountered trouble, its life was not in danger.
Therefore, Ji Qing was not overly anxious.
He thought for a moment, no longer wanting to engage in pleasantries with the Star River Realm Lord.
He decided to inform the Star River Realm Lord directly.
After all, it was just a Star God.
Given the current relationship between the Immortal Realm and the Eternal Universe, it wasn’t a major issue.
A clone might be something the Eternal Universe was also doing.
One day, Ji Qing directly sought out the Star River Realm Lord.
“Fellow Daoist Star River, Ji Mou requires your assistance with a matter.”
“Oh? Fellow Daoist Ji, please do not hesitate to speak.”
The Star River Realm Lord had become quite familiar with Ji Qing by now, even addressing him as “Fellow Daoist.”
“To be frank, Fellow Daoist, thousands of years ago, I used the clone technique of the Immortal Realm to condense a clone that entered the Eternal Universe. It has now cultivated to the Star God realm. I intended for this clone to come to the Star River territory, but it encountered some trouble and cannot come temporarily, so I must ask for your help.”
Ji Qing did not conceal anything, stating his purpose directly.
“A clone?”
The Star River Realm Lord appeared somewhat taken aback, but quickly understood.
Thousands of years ago, the Immortal Realm and the Eternal Universe were still adversarial, and both sides employed every method to send people to gather intelligence or to infiltrate.
Ji Qing had actually condensed a clone and infiltrated the Eternal Universe at that time, and it had now cultivated to Star God?
It was truly… unexpected.
However, the relationship between the Eternal Universe and the Immortal Realm was different now.
The previous tense and hostile relationship was gone.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, it is easily done.”
“Attendants, bearing my order, proceed swiftly to the True Sun territory and escort the Curse Star God back.”
“Yes, Your Majesty Realm Lord!”
Thus, a Domain Lord set out with the order.
Ji Qing’s Curse Clone was located in the True Sun territory, and involving a Realm Lord certainly made things complicated.
Although that Realm Lord had no personal connection to the Curse Clone, if Ji Qing went directly, it would be a significant hassle. However, if someone from the Star River Realm Lord’s faction went with the order, it would be simple.
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Star River.”
Ji Qing also cupped his fists in thanks.
“Haha, such a small matter. Furthermore, I am quite interested in Fellow Daoist Ji’s cloning technique…”
Ji Qing did not conceal it and directly revealed the Method of Slaying Three Corpses.
It was a very ancient method.
And it required the Three Corpses Fruit.
However, Ji Qing had only obtained one Three Corpses Fruit by chance back then.
It was now extinct in the Immortal Realm; finding a second one would be extremely difficult.
…
True Sun Territory, Tuo Dragon Domain.
The Curse Star God was currently a Star God under the command of the Tuo Dragon Domain Lord.
He had performed outstandingly in the Tuo Dragon Domain, ascending to Star God step by step. However, the Tuo Dragon Domain had more than just the Curse Clone as a Star God; there were many Star Gods, and the Curse Clone had offended some of them.
He was now being entangled by these Star Gods, making it extremely difficult to leave the Tuo Dragon Domain.
But the Curse Star God was not in a hurry.
He already knew that his “true body” had arrived in the Eternal Universe.
And had even become friends with the Star River Realm Lord.
Now that a Domain Lord under the Star River Realm Lord was coming with an order, he just needed to wait; there was no need to rush.
But while the Curse Star God was not worried, the other Star Gods were.
“Something is very wrong. A few days ago, the Curse Star God was trying every means to leave the Tuo Dragon Domain, but now he is so composed, staying put?”
“Indeed, something is amiss. The Curse Star God clearly knows we are planning to make a move against him, yet he remains so calm and unmoved? As the saying goes, an unusual situation often conceals a trick; I fear the Curse Star God already has some leverage.”
“What leverage could he possibly have? Hmph, the Tuo Dragon Domain Lord is in seclusion now and is not managing affairs within the territory. If we eliminate the Curse Star God, the Domain Lord will not be able to stop us. By the time the Domain Lord emerges from seclusion, we will have already killed the Curse Star God, and even if the Domain Lord punishes us, we will be able to bear it, he won’t kill us.”
“Regardless of what leverage he has, the longer this drags on, the more unpredictable it becomes. Let’s act now!”
These Star Gods gathered to discuss how to deal with the Curse Star God.
Clearly, they had also sensed that something was not right.
Regarding this, the Curse Star God was very clear-headed; he knew that these Star Gods intended to attack him.
If it were before, the Curse Star God would have had trump cards, and many of his abilities would not have been revealed.
If a fight truly broke out, the Curse Star God alone could have killed these Star Gods.
But doing so would inevitably incur the wrath of the Tuo Dragon Domain Lord.
This was not a place for reasoned debate.
Those Star Gods had intricate connections with the Tuo Dragon Domain Lord.
At that time, the Curse Star God would once again become a fugitive, forced to flee the Tuo Dragon Domain.
But now, the Curse Star God was unconcerned.
He did not need to flee the Tuo Dragon Domain, nor did he need to become a fugitive; he only needed to wait patiently.
Finally, several Star Gods could no longer restrain themselves and launched a fierce attack on the Curse Star God.
“Rumble.”
Several Star Gods directly revealed their Heavenly Body True Forms, surrounding the Curse Star God.
“Curse Star God, today is your day of death!”
“Hmph, Curse Star God, you killed the descendant of this Star God’s bloodline in the past, did you ever imagine this day would come?”
“Today, we join forces, and we will surely kill you!”
The combined might of several Star Gods attacking together created an immense commotion.
“Swish.”
The Curse Star God also appeared.
He swept his gaze around, his expression one of disdain.
A mere few Star Gods thought they could kill him?
If it weren’t for his consideration for the Tuo Dragon Domain Lord, the Curse Star God would have long since killed these Star Gods.
As for now, he didn’t need to take action.
“Hmm?”
“The Curse Star God seems to be acting with confidence?”
“What is he waiting for?”
The several Star Gods, seeing the Curse Star God’s demeanor, became somewhat uncertain.
“Boom.”
Before they could make a move.
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended instantly.
Domain Lord!
This was a Domain Lord’s pressure!
However, this was an unfamiliar Domain Lord’s pressure, not that of the Tuo Dragon Domain Lord.
But this was the Tuo Dragon Domain Lord’s territory; which Domain Lord dared to disregard the Tuo Dragon Domain Lord’s rules?
“Whoosh.”
A figure appeared.
The individual exuded the pressure of a Domain Lord without any concealment.
Such a massive disturbance forced the Tuo Dragon Domain Lord to end his seclusion.
He immediately interrupted his seclusion and appeared in the void.
“May I ask which Domain Lord you are, honored friend?”
The Tuo Dragon Domain Lord’s expression was grim.
He was in seclusion, and his cultivation was abruptly interrupted, so naturally, he wouldn’t have a pleasant expression.
“I am Yao Xing Domain Lord of the Star River Territory. I am here under the Star River Realm Lord’s command to invite the Curse Star God to the Star River Territory for a discussion! This is the Star River Realm Lord’s order!”
The Yao Xing Domain Lord directly presented the Realm Lord’s order.
Instantly, both the Tuo Dragon Domain Lord and the other several Star Gods’ faces changed drastically.
Especially those several Star Gods, they felt a sense of “the sky falling.”
If it were merely the Yao Xing Domain Lord, even as a Domain Lord, entering the True Sun Territory and attempting to take away the Curse Star God would not be easy; the Tuo Dragon Domain Lord would not necessarily concede.
But with the Yao Xing Domain Lord holding the Realm Lord’s order, it was a different matter.
A Realm Lord’s order was equivalent to the Realm Lord’s personal presence.
Who would dare to obstruct it, other than the True Sun Realm Lord?
Moreover, the True Sun Realm Lord would not concern himself with such trivial matters.
Could the Tuo Dragon Domain Lord dare to obstruct it?
He dared not!
The hearts of the other several Star Gods were filled with dread. How did the Curse Star God have any connection with the Star River Realm Lord?
If they were truly connected, why come to the Tuo Dragon Domain instead of going directly to the Star River Territory?
The Curse Star God’s lips curved into a smile.
He directly moved to the Yao Xing Domain Lord’s side and cupped his fists, saying, “Thank you, esteemed Yao Xing Domain Lord.”
“I dare not.”
The Yao Xing Domain Lord’s heart stirred.
He dared not accept the Curse Star God’s bow.
After all, the Yao Xing Domain Lord was a confidant of the Star River Realm Lord. He knew the true identity of this “Curse Star God,” who was a clone of the legendary “Guixu Immortal Emperor” from the Immortal Realm.
It was equivalent to the “Guixu Immortal Emperor.”
Such an identity was comparable to the Star River Realm Lord. He, a mere Domain Lord, could not bear the bow from the Curse Star God.
The Tuo Dragon Domain Lord and the other several Star Gods, witnessing this scene, were even more shaken.
The Star Lord of the Shining Star Domain surprisingly didn’t dare to accept the bow from the Curse Star God?
After all, he is a dignified Domain Lord.
Why didn’t he dare to accept a bow from the Curse Star God?
What exactly is the identity of this Curse Star God?
Could he be a descendant of the Star River Realm Lord?
Although there were many speculations, they would never guess the true identity of the Curse Star God.
“Whoosh.”
The Star Lord of the Shining Star Domain offered no explanation and directly escorted the Curse Star God away from the Crocodile Dragon Domain, traveling all the way back to the Star River territory.
“Reporting to Your Majesty Star River, the Curse Star God has been brought.”
“Good, you may withdraw.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
In the Star River Great Hall, only the Star River Realm Lord, Ji Qing, and the Curse Star God remained.
The Star River Realm Lord looked at Ji Qing, then at the Curse Star God.
No matter how he looked at it, the Curse Star God was a genuine cultivator from the Eternal Universe.
And Ji Qing was a legendary Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Realm!
How could these two be the same person?
It was simply unbelievable!
Could this be the special aspect of the Immortal Realm’s Method of Slaying Three Corpses?
It was indeed magical.
In fact, Ji Qing also felt a sense of wonder at this moment.
He had seen the Curse Star God.
Even after several thousand years had passed, with no memory synchronization in between.
But upon arriving in the Eternal Universe, his memories synchronized.
Now, seeing the Curse Star God with his own eyes, he felt no strangeness at all.
It was like looking in a mirror.
“Main body, you have finally arrived.”
“Curse Clone, you have been slacking in your cultivation these past years, only reaching the Star God realm.”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
In reality, what the two said was no different from Ji Qing talking to himself.
“Come, you won’t have to work so hard, Fellow Daoist Curse, from now on.”
“That’s fine, it should have been merged long ago.”
The Curse Star God smiled, then took a step forward, instantly merging into Ji Qing’s body.
“Boom.”
Ji Qing felt a sense of “Perfection.”
Regardless of anything, the “three corpses” in the Method of Slaying Three Corpses belonged to a part of Ji Qing.
If any part was missing, it could not be perfect.
Now that the Curse Clone had returned, Ji Qing was finally complete.
Moreover, with the return of the Curse Clone, the memories in his mind about Heavenly Venerates, Star Lords, and Star Gods were no longer just memories but had transformed into instinct.
It was as if Ji Qing was the Curse Star God.
He could also transform into a Heavenly Body.
His aura would also become exactly the same as a Star God of the Eternal Universe.
There would be no difference.
This was the three corpses, it was too magical.
“Tsk tsk, truly magical! The Immortal Realm’s Method of Slaying Three Corpses is indeed wondrous. With this method, Fellow Daoist Ji has mastered two cultivation systems.”
The Star River Realm Lord was also envious.
Mastering two cultivation systems, what kind of opportunity was this?
He was already a Realm Lord, with no room for further advancement unless he was willing to venture into the Cosmic Sea.
But the Lord of the Universe in the Eternal Universe had not yet established a firm footing in the Cosmic Sea, and for them, Realm Lords, to venture into the Cosmic Sea was like gambling with their lives, the risk was too great.
Unable to seek opportunities in the Cosmic Sea, but if he had a clone method, he could also cultivate in the Immortal Realm and study its cultivation system, perhaps he could gain something.
This was also a form of cultivation.
Ji Qing quietly savored the impact the “Curse Clone” had brought him.
The Method of Slaying Three Corpses was indeed extraordinary.
He had been unable to merge with the Curse Clone for thousands of years.
Now that the Curse Clone had merged with him, although it was only at the Star God realm, it had a significant impact on Ji Qing.
He instantly understood the essence of the Star God realm.
Moreover, with his Immortal Emperor cultivation, he could now see things from a higher vantage point and thoroughly understand the cultivation system of the Eternal Universe.
At the very least, Ji Qing had grasped the mysteries of Domain Lords and Realm Lords.
As for the Lord of the Universe.
Ji Qing had already roughly guessed.
It should be the same as the three Ancestors of Dao in the Immortal Realm.
It was nothing more than mastering the Authority of the Universe.
In essence, they were still Realm Lords.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing opened his eyes.
The Star River Realm Lord was about to ask, but Ji Qing spoke first: “Fellow Daoist Star River, I’m afraid I’ll need to borrow your territory for a while.”
“Why not? As long as it’s within the Star River territory, Fellow Daoist, feel free to use your full power.”
Ji Qing nodded.
Then, he stepped out of the Great Hall and into the starry sky.
He took a deep breath.
A “Transform into a Domain” method appeared in his mind.
The Curse Clone had already achieved Beginner level.
It was a pity there were no Immortal Points to directly raise it to Perfection.
And with the accumulation of the Curse Star God, it was enough to “Transform into a Domain.”
Thinking this, Ji Qing no longer hesitated.
“Improve the ‘Transform into a Domain’ method to Perfection.”
“Boom.”
The Transform into a Domain method was equivalent to an Immortal King level technique. Directly improving it to Perfection required the consumption of three thousand Immortal Points.
For the current Ji Qing, this was not a problem at all.
Instantly, three thousand Immortal Points were consumed.
Ji Qing’s Transform into a Domain method also reached Perfection instantly.
Immediately, Ji Qing had a thorough understanding of how to “Transform into a Domain,” as if he had experienced it countless times.
“Let’s begin…”
Ji Qing immediately manifested the Curse Heavenly Body, and then began his Transformation using the Transform into a Domain method.
“Rumble.”
The Heavenly Body vibrated and transformed.
The commotion from this scene was immense.
Earth-shattering.
Many Star Gods and Domain Lords were stunned into silence by this spectacle.
Including the Star River Realm Lord.
He looked at the Curse Heavenly Body manifested by Ji Qing, as if in disbelief.
“Is he going to Transform into a Domain? Directly promote to Domain Lord?”
The Star River Realm Lord felt deeply moved for the first time.
Even though Ji Qing was a legendary Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Realm, he hadn’t been this moved.
But now, Ji Qing, an Immortal Emperor, was actually starting to Transform into a Domain.
Had the Curse Star God himself already reached the critical point?
It seemed to be the only explanation.
But was this truly the case?
An incredibly “absurd” and bold thought formed in the Star River Realm Lord’s mind.
If it were true, it would be unimaginable…
However, whether it was as he thought would soon be revealed.
Once Ji Qing’s transformation was complete, they would naturally know.
