He let out a Dao shout that resounded throughout the Myriad Daos Graveyard!
The three Corpse phantoms that had originally stood apart in opposition suddenly abandoned their respective attachments.
They transformed into three beams of source Dao light, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, and plunged toward Lu Xuan’s true body, merging with him completely!
The Attached Self, the Evil Self, and the Self had not been slain and destroyed; rather, on a higher level, they were encompassed and governed by the “True Self”!
Good and evil returned to one, the self became clear, and chaos was formed!
At the instant the Three Corpses fully became one—
“Dong!!!”
A Dao sound rang out, as though it originated from the deepest source of his very life!
It did not come from the outside world, but from the ultimate metamorphosis of his own Dao fruit!
That incomparably solid Immortal King barrier, under the impact of inner and outer convergence and the True Self returning to one, shattered with a thunderous crash!
Vast and boundless Immortal King-level energy surged madly from within his body. It was no longer merely the solar power of the Golden Crow, nor was it pure War Immortal baleful qi.
It was an entirely new power carrying the conception of chaos first opening, conquering the myriad realms, and governing the self—Chaotic War Immortal power!
Under the scouring of this power, his Golden Crow true body transformed once more. Its size did not grow larger; instead, it became even more condensed.
Every feather seemed to have been forged from chaotic immortal gold, flowing with Dao patterns where dark gold and chaos intertwined. The War Immortal rune on his brow completely stabilized, becoming a Chaotic War Seal that contained endless profundities!
His aura climbed wildly at an inconceivable speed, crossing that heavenly chasm in an instant and reaching an entirely new level that stood above all living beings!
Immortal King!
Achieved!
Moreover, he was not an ordinary Immortal King, but an Immortal King who had attained the Dao through the unique “Chaotic War Immortal Dao”!
His foundation was so profound, and his Dao fruit so extraordinary, that the moment he broke through, his pressure caused even the entire Myriad Daos Graveyard’s upheaval to stagnate!
Those chaotic fragments of Dao laws seemed to have encountered a true sovereign. They became docile, and even began to take the initiative to pay homage to him and merge with him!
The Realm Sea trembled because of it! Countless old monsters in secluded cultivation and many supreme experts of great realms all sensed this newborn Immortal King aura!
“Less than five hundred thousand years… and he attained the Dao of an Immortal King in the Realm Sea?!”
“What kind of foundation is this? What kind of Dao fruit? Unheard of!”
“Chaos… War Immortal… This child’s future is limitless!”
One shocked divine sense after another crossed the endless Realm Sea, casting toward the direction of the Myriad Daos Graveyard.
Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes. The sharp edge within them was gone, replaced by a fathomless calm, as though they contained the birth and destruction of all heavens.
He felt the vast power surging endlessly within him, as though it could take command of heaven and earth. With a gentle clench of his fist, the surrounding Realm Sea void let out an overwhelmed hum.
“Immortal King… Have I returned to this domain again?”
He murmured softly to himself. There was not much joy in his tone, only the calm of something coming naturally, and an even deeper sense of mission.
He raised his head, his gaze seeming to pierce through endless time and space, once again locking onto that lost ancient hall in the depths of the Realm Sea.
Now, he possessed the qualifications to face that ultimate mystery directly.
Chaotic War Immortal, Lu Xuan, had officially stepped into the Immortal King domain in the Myriad Daos Graveyard of the Realm Sea!
After attaining the Dao of an Immortal King and undergoing a leap in his life level, Lu Xuan did not stop his steps.
He continued to walk through the vast Realm Sea, shuttling among the heavens and myriad realms.
The dignity of an Immortal King gave him a broader field of vision, and also allowed him to come into contact with deeper mysteries and mightier existences.
He no longer merely challenged young prodigies, but also began to discuss the Dao and spar with some established Immortal Kings who had long been famous and lived in seclusion deep within the Realm Sea.
These beings had each created unique Dao civilizations, or guarded some ancient realm on the verge of destruction; some were even living fossils left behind from the Era of the Emperor’s Fall, or from still earlier epochs.
His combat style evolved along with this.
Immortal King-level clashes involved the sources of laws, spacetime, and karma at every turn. Every movement of hand or foot carried the might to destroy heaven and earth.
He no longer used brute force lightly. Instead, he fused the “Chaotic War Immortal Dao” with the method of “slaying the Three Corpses,” deriving all manner of inconceivable divine abilities.
At times, he transformed into chaos, devouring all laws, and played a match against an ancient Immortal King at the edge of the Realm Sea, using his own chaotic Dao resonance to simulate the end of the universe as they mutually verified the true meaning of devouring and termination.
At times, he manifested his War Immortal true body, using supreme battle intent to stir the baleful qi of the Realm Sea, and fought a fierce battle against a warlike Immortal King from the “War Clan.”
They fought until a shattered star region was completely reduced to nothingness, and in the end, admiring one another, exchanged Daoist imprints.
At times, his Three Corpses rotated, and with a single thought of compassion, he delivered the resentful spirits of a small realm that had been lightly corroded by darkness, forming a good connection with a “Holy Light Immortal King” who walked the heavens and specialized in purification.
He did not blindly wage war, and also befriended several Immortal King-level companions who shared his ideals and suited his temperament.
There was an Immortal King Qingmu from the “Grass-and-Wood Great Realm,” gentle in nature and deeply versed in the Dao of life and creation. When discussing the Dao with Lu Xuan, he had once helped him perfect the profundities of vitality contained within the “Good Corpse.”
There was also an Immortal King Jingxuan from the “Void Whale Clan,” who roamed the Realm Sea and possessed vast experience. He had once shared with Lu Xuan many ancient secrets concerning the end of the Realm Sea, and even the source of darkness.
During these years in which travel and battle intertwined, a special invitation crossed the endless Realm Sea and was transmitted precisely into Lu Xuan’s mind and spirit.
That invitation was not a domineering divine sense, but a strand of lamplight Dao resonance that was gentle yet tenacious, as though it could pierce through the passage of eternal time.
Within the Dao resonance were the coordinates of a great realm.
As well as a clear title—Primordial Ancient Realm, Ran Deng Immortal King.
“Primordial Ancient Realm…” Receiving this message, Lu Xuan’s mind stirred slightly.
This name was closely connected to the Immortal Domain in later generations. He had not expected that after the Era of the Emperor’s Fall, it already existed, and seemed to be under the control of an Immortal King named “Ran Deng.”
From that strand of lamplight Dao resonance, he sensed a unique aura that was ancient, yet carried a sense of guidance and protection.
This Ran Deng Immortal King seemed to harbor no malice. On the contrary, he carried goodwill, as though inviting a fellow Daoist to jointly comprehend the Great Dao.
After a brief moment of thought, Lu Xuan made his decision.
He happened to be seeking a relatively peaceful place to settle the gains he had obtained during this period, further consolidate his Immortal King realm, and at the same time learn about this era’s Primordial Ancient Realm.
Following the guidance of that strand of lamplight Dao resonance, he tore open the Realm Sea void and crossed an unknown number of hundreds of millions of li through chaotic distance, finally arriving at his destination.
Before his eyes was not the primitive, wild scene he had imagined, but a vast and boundless magnificent world with complete laws, suffused with ancient Dao resonance.
The firmament was lofty and distant, with sun, moon, and stars revolving within it. Yet they were utterly different from the stars of the Immortal Domain in later generations. They were even more ancient, as though they contained the secrets of the first opening of heaven and earth.
Upon the land, mountains and rivers rose and fell, great rivers surged, and spiritual qi condensed into rosy clouds. The auras of countless powerful living beings lay dormant within, and as a whole, it exuded a deep, weighty, long-standing charm.
This was the Primordial Ancient Realm!
Compared to the one he knew in later generations, it was filled with even greater vitality and the charm of primordial Dao laws.
