Chapter 284 The Supreme Being of the Boundary Sea Descends, Willow God Recovers (Part 1)
While dodging Cang's double-pupil sword light, the Immortal King of Cangnan transmitted his thoughts, his voice revealing a hint of panic that even he himself did not realize.
"Our army is about to be wiped out!"
The Primordial Immortal King did not reply. He steadied himself, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and suddenly turned his gaze to the Creation Immortal Pool below.
Upon seeing this, his heart clenched painfully.
In the center of the Immortal Pool of Creation, the towering willow tree, hundreds of millions of feet tall, was now radiating a sacred, shimmering green light.
The myriad stars held aloft on each willow leaf have become completely solidified, no longer illusory in the slightest.
Even more terrifying was that deep within the trunk of that willow tree, the ethereal figure of a stunningly beautiful and slender woman sat there.
His eyes, which had been tightly closed, were now trembling slightly!
A supreme immortal king's aura, truly belonging to the ancestral spirit, that once swept through foreign lands and struck fear into the hearts of even immortal kings, was rising wildly at an incredible speed.
The operation of the grand formation has reached its final stage.
Liu Shen's recovery is progressing faster and faster than anyone expected!
Gu Yuena, who had been kneeling on the white jade steps, felt the gentle yet boundless aura of revival, and her purple eyes shone with unprecedented fervor.
It'll be soon!
It's almost done!
Once those eyes are fully opened and the Immortal King returns to his throne, no one in heaven or on earth will be able to stop the advance of the Primordial Immortal Court!
"We can't wait any longer!"
In mid-air, the Primordial Immortal King watched the willow tree's strange changes, and the anxiety in his eyes finally turned into utter madness.
He knew very well that once the ancestral spirit truly awakened, coupled with the Primordial Immortal Lord who would soon be free to act, the situation would become dire.
Those four old geezers are definitely going to lose their lives here today.
We must reveal our final cards!
The Primordial Immortal King suddenly shook off Li Changsheng's sword light once again, and then completely abandoned his defense.
He swiftly formed an ancient and eerie hand seal in front of his chest, then tilted his head back and let out a loud roar:
"Fellow Daoist, if you still won't make a move, when will you?"
"Do we really want to see that willow tree recover?!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng, who was preparing to press his advantage, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his hand holding the sword immediately froze in mid-air.
The double-pupiled Cang, the Crimson Dragon, and the elders of the Primordial Immortal Court all stopped their attacks and looked up at the sky in shock.
Fellow Daoist?
Could it be that these four veteran Immortal Kings have secretly colluded with other supreme beings?
However, just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
"boom!"
The sky above the Primordial Immortal Realm suddenly turned pitch black.
It wasn't that dark clouds were obscuring the sun; rather, the entire starry sky was being forcibly corroded by an extremely terrifying external force.
Immediately afterwards.
"Splash..."
A low, rumbling sound of waves crashing echoed from the hole in the dark sky.
Accompanying the sound of the waves was a terrifying aura that made all the True Immortals present feel suffocated, and caused Li Changsheng and the Double-Pupiled Cang to instantly grip their weapons tightly.
That's the aura of the Boundary Sea!
A single drop of jet-black water from the Boundary Sea slowly dripped from the crack.
A single drop of water, in its descent, crushed countless voids along its path, and the decaying and dark laws it emitted caused the four Immortal Kings to instinctively retreat.
Deep within that rift, a colossal black shadow, seated cross-legged on a throne of bones and shrouded in endless darkness, its face obscured, appeared and disappeared.
The mere wisp of aura emanating from the shadowy figure instantly silenced the previously one-sided battlefield.
"A bunch of useless trash."
"A mere junior who hasn't even reached that realm actually forced me to send down a Dharma form from the other side of the Boundary Sea."
...
Meanwhile, in the Douluo Continent.
The far north, the core area.
This place is shrouded in snow all year round, and the extreme cold is so intense that even a titled Douluo-level expert would not dare to set foot here easily.
On a solitary, towering peak of icy ice.
Two stunningly beautiful figures stood side by side, their heads tilted back, gazing at the enormous curtain of light in the sky.
One of the women, dressed in a long emerald green dress, with long hair as dazzling as the finest emerald, was none other than the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, one of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North.
Standing beside her was a woman with an icy demeanor, her white hair as white as snow, like a goddess who had stepped out of a snowy world.
The absolute ruler of the far north, the Snow Empress!
"call..."
At this moment, Hyotei's chest was heaving violently. She exhaled a breath of white, cold air, and her emerald green eyes were filled with a fierce struggle between great joy and great sorrow.
Just before half an incense stick had burned.
When she saw the hundreds and thousands of affiliated sects of the Primordial Immortal Court descending like divine soldiers, when she saw the hundreds of thousands of Li Changsheng clones slaughtering all around, and even when the four ancient Immortal Kings were being suppressed, she was deeply moved.
Hyotei almost jumped for joy.
Like Di Tian and the others in the Star Dou Great Forest, she had long placed all her hopes for the soul beast race on the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, who was kneeling on the white jade steps.
If the Primordial Immortal Court wins, the Lord will be able to successfully become a disciple, and the Soul Beast race will be able to completely turn the tide in the higher-dimensional world!
With the resurrection of the Willow God imminent, and the Primordial Immortal Court about to turn the tide, the situation is dire.
But who could have imagined that the situation would take such a dramatic turn for the worse in an instant!
"Snow Woman..."
The Ice Empress's voice trembled, and she subconsciously grabbed the Snow Empress's wrist. Her proud ultimate ice soul power was now somewhat out of control and disordered.
"Then... what kind of monster is it?"
Hyotei pointed at the blurry black figure sitting cross-legged on the White Bone Throne in the Boundary Sea within the light screen, her teeth chattering:
"Four Celestial Kings? There are four Celestial Kings!"
"But in front of that dark figure, they didn't even dare to breathe?"
Xue Di did not speak.
Her stunningly beautiful face was deathly pale, even paler than the surrounding ancient ice.
Her gaze was fixed on the single drop of black water from the Boundary Sea that was dripping from the light screen.
Even just a glance across endless time and space made Xue Di feel as if her soul was being pulled into a bottomless abyss.
Click!
As Xue Di lost her composure, the towering, solitary ice peak beneath their feet could not withstand the invisible pressure, and a massive crack hundreds of meters wide split appeared between the mountaintop and the foot of the mountain!
"That realm..."
The Snow Emperor murmured to herself, her dry lips parting slightly as she repeated the words spoken by the creature from the Boundary Sea in the light screen.
"A mere junior who hasn't even reached that level..."
The words kept replaying in Xue Di's mind.
The Celestial King was, in their understanding, a supreme being capable of creating a world with a single thought and destroying the universe with a single thought.
Before the Celestial King, the gods of Douluo Continent are not even ants.
But now, this terrifying black shadow that suddenly appeared actually said that the Immortal King was just a junior who had never reached that realm.
So what exactly is that realm he's talking about?
"Snow Woman, say something!"
Hyotei's eyes were red with anxiety. Looking at Yuki-tei's distraught appearance, her fear was amplified.
"Can the Primordial Celestial Court withstand this? Will our Lord survive?"
Snow Empress slowly turned her head, looked at Ice Empress whose face was full of anxiety, and a deep despair flashed in her eyes.
"It's unstoppable."
Xue Di shook her head, her voice hoarse, as if all her strength had been drained away in an instant.
"Bing'er, haven't you understood what that dark figure meant?"
"Above the Immortal King realm, there is another realm."
The Snow Empress raised her head, looking up at the sky once more. Her icy blue eyes reflected the image of the Boundary Sea Dharma Image, and she spoke, word by word:
"The Four Celestial Kings are kings."
"Someone who could make the capital kneel down and even call him trash..."
"Only the Emperor!"
Upon hearing this, Hyotei was struck dumb, his body stiffened abruptly, and he staggered back three or four steps, nearly plunging headfirst off the towering ice cliff.
"Emperor... Immortal Emperor?!"
Upon hearing this, Hyotei's voice immediately became sharp and changed tone, his face filled with disbelief.
"How could there possibly be an existence more terrifying than a Celestial King in this world!"
Immortal Emperor!
Even just hearing those two words sends shivers down one's spine, a primal tremor of fear.
If the Celestial King is a giant dragon looking down on all living beings, then the Celestial Emperor is the creator who holds all laws and sits at the pinnacle of all paths!
"It's over..."
Hyotei collapsed onto the ice, all their hopes shattered in that moment, and tears streamed down their faces.
"No wonder those four immortal kings were so fearless."
"So, behind them stands an emperor!"
Hyotei looked at the towering willow tree in the light screen, which was radiating endless green light and was about to be fully revived, and no longer had any expectation in his heart.
"Even if Liu Shen has fully recovered and regained her Immortal King status, so what?"
"Even if the Primordial Immortal Lord finishes setting up the grand formation, what can he do once he has some free time?"
"Even an Immortal King would be powerless to save a true Immortal Emperor."
Thinking of all this, Xue Di closed her eyes in despair, two lines of clear tears sliding down her pale cheeks and freezing into ice crystals in the air.
Is there really no hope for their soul beast race?
...
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Douluo Continent, God Realm Committee.
In stark contrast to the despair and sorrow of the far north, the atmosphere inside the temple was incredibly fiery!
Just half an incense stick's time ago, when he saw the army of the affiliated sects of the Primordial Immortal Court charge out, and when he saw 100,000 Li Changsheng merge into one and unleash the power of an Immortal King.
These proud gods of the divine realm all had ashen faces and could barely breathe.
They're jealous!
Why is it that the lineage established by Jiang Chen has such a terrifying foundation?
How could the Primordial Celestial Court possibly turn the tide when besieged by the Four Celestial Kings?
At that moment, the god of evil was so angry that he crushed the wine glass in his hand, and the sea god slammed his trident heavily on the ground, his face full of resentment.
What they least wanted to see was the Primordial Celestial Court surviving this calamity and continuing to look down on them from its lofty position.
However, the moment that drop of water from the Boundary Sea fell, and the moment that dark figure sitting cross-legged on the throne of white bones descended.
The oppressive atmosphere inside the temple was instantly dispelled!
Hahahaha!
Suddenly, the evil god jumped up from his throne, pointed at the light screen in mid-air, and laughed so hard that tears streamed down his face.
"Your Majesty! Did you hear that?!"
"Above the Immortal King is the Immortal Emperor!"
The god of evil trembled with excitement. He slammed his fist on the table and roared at the assembled gods in the hall:
"I've said it before: Heaven's sins can be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins cannot be escaped!"
"The Primordial Celestial Court has become so arrogant that it not only disregards the laws of heaven and earth to resurrect the dead, but also dares to act so blatantly. Does it really think that there is no one in all the heavens and myriad realms who can deal with them?"
"Now it's all good!"
"It has drawn out a truly supreme taboo!"
"A powerful figure from the Boundary Sea realm who surpasses even an Immortal King!"
The sea god, standing to the side, finally let out a long sigh of relief, his hypocritical face now filled with schadenfreude.
"Great! That's wonderful!"
"I want to see how that arrogant Primordial Immortal Lord will turn the tables this time!"
"Didn't he consider himself to have a foolproof plan?"
"Isn't he a show-off?"
The Sea God sneered repeatedly, directly mocking the Primordial Celestial Court's trump cards:
"Weren't those disciples of the Primordial Immortal Court very arrogant just now? Weren't they shouting that they would kill without mercy?"
"Now, faced with the aura of this powerful being from the Boundary Sea Realm, why are they all so silent?"
Upon hearing the words of the two god-kings, the other gods in the temple echoed them, shouting their approval with flushed faces and thick necks.
"Exactly! This time, the Primordial Celestial Court has really bitten off more than it can chew!"
"What kind of bullshit Immortal Kings are they? In front of that powerful figure from the Boundary Sea, they're all trash!"
"Look at Li Changsheng, so what if he creates a hundred thousand clones?"
"In front of the Immortal Emperor, they're just trash who could be slapped to death!"
In an instant, the gods were eager to see the scene of that powerful being from the Boundary Sea slapping down and flattening the entire Primordial Immortal Realm.
Just then, the God of Evil placed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and fixed his gaze on the direction of the Immortal Pool of Creation in the light screen.
"Guess."
"When that broken willow tree fully awakens and finds a Celestial Emperor standing above it, what kind of expression will she have?"
Upon hearing this, even more unrestrained laughter erupted within the temple.
"Haha! It must have been so scared that it turned back into a piece of dead wood!"
"After going through so much trouble to finally revive, I'm about to be killed again the moment I open my eyes. That's just too tragic, hahaha!"
Poseidon chuckled as well, stroking his chin before adding a sarcastic remark in a low voice:
"It's not just that willow tree."
"What I'm looking forward to now is the reaction of the Primordial Immortal Lord."
"His formation is almost complete."
"When he finally had a chance to unleash his power, he suddenly realized that he was facing an invincible supreme being from the Boundary Sea."
"Do you think he might break down on the spot, given his arrogant personality?"
"Would they kneel at the feet of that powerful figure in the Boundary Sea like a stray dog, begging for mercy, just to preserve their lineage?"
"If he really knelt down."
"Then I will definitely ask the God Realm Committee to record that scene permanently and hang it on the temple gate so that all the gods of our Douluo God Realm can watch it every day!"
