Chapter 533 533: Battle at the Boundary Gate
"Will it truly be this easy?"
From the depths of the starry sky came a response: "The Myriad Realms and the Immortal Path are ultimately different ways. Now that two parts of Heaven's Fate are missing, it remains a hidden danger."
"So what would you do then?"
Moonlight Immortal Ancestor seemed to have run out of patience, with a hint of anger in her tone:
"Back then, you took the initiative to start this, invited us to explore the Primordial Era, seeking traces of Ancestral Dao, planning to kill him, but halfway through, you fled, causing Fu Pinglan to lose her eyes. Now the Martial Hall won't tolerate you anymore, and you still want to be a fence-sitter?"
How could she not know, that once this two parts of the Heaven's Fate were obtained by the Martial Hall, the heavens would collapse in an instant.
If the Martial Hall got hold of five parts of Heaven's Fate, the Martial Ancestor alone could kill all the beings in the Ancestral Realm of the current Great Universe.
He was a giant who had survived since that great war in the Primordial Era, half an era before even the Immortal Ancestor, his cultivation unfathomable.
"Moonlight, you and I have known each other for so long, there's no need to say these pointless things. Although I initiated it back then, all of you agreed. Fu Pinglan lost her eyes because she insisted on seeing what she shouldn't have in the Primordial Era, what does that have to do with me."
The whispers from the depths of the starry sky remained unchanged, still calm despite the attitude of Moonlight Immortal Ancestor:
"I wanted to join the Immortal Alliance initially, but the Immortal Alliance didn't want to offend the Martial Hall and overlooked me. Now that the Martial Hall is unstoppable, you remember me."
"Now although the Martial Ancestor has killed Yu Xuan and Lin Xing, his own life force is nearing its end. If the Martial Ancestor dies, what happens then is beyond your control. How could I not worry that you might destroy the bridge after crossing it?"
Moonlight Immortal Ancestor subdued her earlier anger and spoke calmly: "State your terms."
"Joining the Immortal Alliance is acceptable, but I want the Immortal Ancestor to swear with the True Spirit of the Immortal Path's Heavenly Fate, grant me a life-preserving decree, and hand over the 'Holy Spirit Disc' to me as collateral. In exchange, I will relinquish half of Heaven's Fate of all heavens."
"Really?!"
Moonlight Immortal Ancestor's voice had a hint of surprise.
Giving up half of Heaven's Fate was completely different from simply joining the Immortal Alliance.
Once a being in the Ancestral Realm loses the protection of Heaven's Fate, their realm would fall to Half Ancestor Realm, a step akin to falling into a chasm with no hope of crossing it again.
And this half of Heaven's Fate was enough to elevate the Immortal Alliance to the same level as the Martial Hall even without the Myriad Realms, a significance of great magnitude.
"I know the importance of things. At this point, the Dao War in all heavens is over. I only wish to live my later years in peace."
A black shadow slowly approached from the starry sky, revealing a blurred dragon head. Between each scale flowed a myriad of colors woven by the space-time law, blending together, forming almost a celestial waterfall.
Moonlight Immortal Ancestor did not hesitate in the slightest, nodding: "For this matter, I will agree on behalf of the Immortal Ancestor. But now the Immortal Ancestor is in the Great Realm of the Universe and cannot come. This will take some time, can you hold out until then?"
"You need not worry about that. Once I receive the Holy Spirit Disc and the Immortal Ancestor's decree, I will find a way to join the Immortal Alliance."
As the words faded, the black shadow in the starry sky gradually dissipated, eventually disappearing without a trace.
"Holy Spirit Disc…"
Moonlight Immortal Ancestor looked up at the starry sky above her, her eyes slightly narrowed, and then turned to walk into the void.
......
......
Amidst a vast starry river neighboring the Chaos Sea, thick chaotic qi pervaded the whole of the star dome.
A golden True Dragon, covering the starry universe, slowly curled its body. Mysterious ancient characters roamed along each dragon scale, its dragon head slightly lowered, its vertical pupils sparkling like stars and fire, gazing at a corner of the star domain, speaking in a deep voice:
"Martial Ancestor, are you pleased now?"
A figure stood atop the Star River, wearing plain clothes, hair entirely silver, appearing around thirty, with a faint yellow in his eyes, exuding an indescribable overwhelming sense of ancientness.
"Including this last half of Heaven's Fate of all heavens, the Martial Hall has secured three parts, almost equal to the Primordial Era. I think that should be enough."
The True Dragon spoke again, with a hint of reluctance: "You are now half an evil body, barely clinging to the mortal world, fearing the impending celestial punishment. Rather than experiencing a fate worse than death, you should rest early and pass on peacefully."
"This half of Heaven's Fate originally belonged to the Martial Path. It was merely deposited with you."
The Martial Ancestor's expression was indifferent, his tone like eternal ice, carrying a bone-chilling coldness:
"Once you get the decree of the Immortal Ancestor, the Immortal Alliance will naturally protect your life. Hand over the Holy Spirit Disc to me, and the remaining matters will have nothing to do with you."
"Candle Star bids farewell."
The True Dragon sighed, said no more, and swam into the depths of the starry sky.
The Martial Ancestor looked towards the distant Chaos Sea, the coldness in his expression gradually fading, revealing a hint of desolation:
"The scene you once spoke of, I fear I will never witness it…"
......
......
Boundary Gate.
The vast starry sky was like torn brocade, with countless rifts ripped open by billions of purple lightning bolts. Nearly liquefied evil qi seeped from the cracks, flooding into the starry sky like flowing water.
On the other side of the starry dome, there was a blinding blood light entwining, spilled by the Immortal Emperor, the Emperor's Blood winding and condensing into immortal patterns extending for billions of miles, locking down a large segment of the starry sky, blocking the ceaselessly invading evil qi.
The starry sky was a scene of desolation, floating with endless star corpses, mingled with the broken feathers of divine birds, broken Immortal Treasures left by True Immortals, law fragments still struggling. Although True Immortals have died, the spirits of the Immortal Treasures have not entirely perished, and a fierce aura surged forth.
Just crossing the boundary gate, the scene before him struck Chu Zheng with great impact.
Before coming to the Boundary Gate, Chu Zheng had received some information when preparing at Heaven Pass. There had not yet been any beings of the Tenth Order crossing the Boundary Gate, and the battlefield was still within a certain controllable range.
But now it seemed, on the other side of the Boundary Gate, an Immortal Emperor had already fallen.
With Chu Zheng came over a hundred True Immortals, each of them now showing ambiguous expressions, with varying reactions.
An Immortal Venerable stepped out of the void, his face stern, giving no time for the True Immortals to react, and began to call out names and assign tasks:
"Zeng Jia, Xiong Ziqing, Leng Qiyi...you go to Green Qixing Domain, seek Qinghe Immortal Venerable, assist in repairing the formation patterns."
"Feng Jinxi, Qi Bai, Lin Yu...you go to Yao Platform Star Domain, seek Treasure Toad Immortal Venerable, and intercept the vanguard of the Vast Universe, do not retreat a single step without orders!"
"Lian Wen Yu, Chu Zheng, Bai Xing'an...you go to Yunfu Immortal Domain, seek Ten Thousand Worlds Blazing Fire Dao Venerable, and be ready to support as per orders."
The task assignment's pace was so astonishingly fast, barely giving any True Immortals time to catch their breath or adjust.
In just a few moments, all the True Immortals were allocated tasks. The boundary gates leading to various star domains were already in an open state.
"Wait…"
A figure approached by starlight, looking at the many True Immortals, speaking in a calm voice:
"Where is Chu Zheng?"
What do you think?
