“Seven kings! Seven whole Immortal Kings! And they actually fell at the hands of one man! A mongrel Golden Crow from the Immortal Domain! Disgrace! This is an unprecedented humiliation, a shame never seen since time immemorial!”
Another giant-level Immortal King, whose aura was even more ancient, sat silently in the shadows.
The laws around him twisted, and space was constantly annihilated and reborn with the fluctuations of his emotions.
He slowly spoke, his voice hoarse and low, yet carrying a chill:
“Lu Xuan… Good, very good! To think the Immortal Domain was hiding such a true dragon! Shattering a blade of laws with one hand, shaking a giant with his dharma idol, opening the heavens from chaos… This wretch has already become a grave threat to our domain—no, a mortal enemy! This hatred must be washed clean with the blood of all the heavens and myriad worlds!”
His words ignited the towering fury that had been building within the hall.
Roars and curses rose one after another:
“We must utterly erase the ancestral land of that Golden Crow, leave not a single blade of grass, and refine even that Fusang Tree into ashes!”
“Flay his skin, pull out his bones, and forever suppress his divine soul in the Myriad Demon Purgatory, to suffer the torment of immeasurable kalpas!”
“The Immortal Domain! And the remnants of that Primordial Ancient Realm! All of them must pay the price! Blood debts must be repaid in blood!”
“Gather all our forces! Next time, we must assemble ten times, a hundred times the strength, and crush him together with that damned bell in the World Sea!”
At this moment, the entire firmament of the foreign realm changed color because of the wrath of the Immortal Kings.
The once dim yet eternal sun, moon, and stars completely lost their radiance.
They were covered by rolling crimson-black tribulation clouds.
Endless destructive thunder roared within the clouds, yet it was not heavenly punishment, but the laws of this world themselves wailing, echoing the violent emotions of its rulers.
The earth trembled violently, and countless ancient divine temples symbolizing the glory of the Immortal Kings shook with intensity.
In some temples that enshrined statues of the fallen kings, the statues even cracked on their own, as if unable to withstand the collapse of faith and backlash of laws brought about by their masters’ fall.
The birth of panic and hatred among the lower ranks
Across the vast territory of the foreign realm, countless trillions of dark beings and fallen races sensed the tremendous upheaval coming from the core of the world.
The blood-red sky, the trembling earth, and the intangible sense of weakness on the level of laws brought about by the fall of those seven supreme existences.
Panic burned among the low-level beings like wildfire:
“Has… has the sky collapsed? The auras of the Immortal Kings… so many have disappeared…”
“It’s the Immortal Domain! It must be the Immortal Domain launching a terrifying attack!”
“Even the great kings have fallen… Can we… can we still win?”
Some races directly dependent on the fallen Immortal Kings even experienced large-scale panic-driven collapses and self-destructive wails of grief.
Yet amid the panic, an even deeper flame of hatred arose.
The will from the Immortal Hall—the monstrous hatred that sought to destroy the Immortal Domain and slay Lu Xuan—was rapidly instilled into every race capable of fighting:
“Remember this name—Lu Xuan! East Emperor Immortal King! It was he who slaughtered our great kings!”
“He is the irreconcilable mortal enemy of the foreign realm! The eternal foe of all children of darkness!”
“Prepare for war! For vengeance! To water the tombstones of our kings with the blood of the Immortal Domain!”
The horns of war were sounded even more mournfully, and countless dark legions began gathering and drilling on an unprecedented scale. The air was filled with a hysterical aura of revenge.
Dread and schemes in the depths of darkness
This earth-shaking fury even spread to the deeper darkness closely connected to the foreign realm—that mysterious and terrifying place hidden at the end of the World Sea, known as the Ancient Hall of Guidance.
Deep within the ancient hall, three terrifying wills that had been dormant for a long time fluctuated violently after learning of the battle report.
“Lu Xuan… opening the heavens from chaos… That power… could actually severely injure our projections…”
“This child… has already matured. Upon him… there is the aura of a ‘variable’…”
“The foreign realm’s failure… has obstructed our plans… However, hatred… is the best catalyst…”
“Let them… seek revenge. Use the foreign realm’s fury… to probe… to exhaust him… When necessary… we shall… personally take action… and strangle him…”
Taking a day off, mwah.
