"Kid, we'll meet again in the Immortal Realm someday."
The words of the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor left Ye Chen stunned. Decades had passed since their parting, and its whereabouts had always been unknown. Even after Ye Chen became the master of the Saint Domain, dominating the world before the great change in the heavens and earth, with unparalleled power, he still hadn't been able to find any trace of it. There had been no news at all.
The same was true for the mysterious "watchers."
Now that they had finally met, Ye Chen had many questions he wanted to ask—like the mysterious stone talisman it had left for him on the Ancient Divine Continent, what secrets it held. But the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor turned and prepared to follow the Ship That Slays Immortals into the Primordial Immortal Realm. Who knew how many years would pass before they could meet again.
This left him somewhat taken aback and reluctant. After all, no matter what, the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor could be considered a friend of his.
However, he did not try to stop it. The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor had its own path to walk, and he could not interfere too much.
Whoosh—
The next moment, the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor turned and vanished into the shattered cosmos, disappearing from sight.
"Little Dragon, you're not going over there too, are you?" Chen'er asked worriedly, looking at the Golden Little Divine Dragon, as the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor had also gone over because of that fallen True Dragon.
The Golden Little Divine Dragon shook its head. "My path does not lie there."
Boom—
Another tremendous explosion erupted from the Chaotic Sea. A vast and magnificent ancient continent flew into view, not much smaller than the Ancient Divine Continent. However, it was terribly broken, devoid of life, with no living beings to be found. It was the burial ground of billions of creatures, shattered yet entwined with faint wisps of immortal aura.
"The Ancient Immortal Continent!?"
A Great Power from the Tai Sheng Imperial Clan exclaimed in shock. This was an ancient continent that had been annihilated by the resurrected alien race Emperors before the Primordial War, one of the three great continents of the Ancient Emperor Realm from the Primordial Era. Now, it had actually been resurrected and reappeared in the world, astonishing everyone.
"That's right. It's said that the Ancient Immortal Continent was not a continent born from the creation of the Ancient Emperor Realm, but rather a vast continent severed from the Primordial Immortal Realm by Tai Sheng Huang. It seems the rumors are true."
A Great Power spoke up, revealing some ancient secrets. The original origin of the Ancient Immortal Continent was from the Primordial Immortal Realm. Later, Tai Sheng Huang used great means to sever it and transport it to the Ancient Emperor Realm.
"Correct. Although the Ancient Immortal Continent is a continent, it is actually a continent that gained sentience and became a spirit," the Great Power Gu Changsheng said.
This moved Ye Chen. He had long ago learned at the Ancient Divine Palace that there were beings on the side of the Ancient Emperor Continent suspected to be from the Primordial Immortal Realm. Could they be referring to the Ancient Immortal Continent?
Based on what he understood, the most powerful being of the Ancient Immortal Continent in the past was actually the continent itself after gaining sentience. It was extremely powerful. Although it was ultimately destroyed along with the entire continent by the alien race Emperors, the Ancient Immortal Continent, after all, originated from the Primordial Immortal Realm and was extraordinary. It did not perish completely, retaining a trace of indestructible vitality and recovering partially over the long ages.
Now, sensing the aura of the Primordial Immortal Realm, it wanted to return to it, using the immortal aura there to fully recover.
They saw the shattered Ancient Immortal Continent soar into the sky, its entire body flowing with mysterious radiance. The vast continent itself actually entered the Mysterious Ancient Gate and crashed into the Mysterious Land.
The shattered Ancient Immortal Continent stood side by side with the Ship That Slays Immortals.
Boom—
A terrifying roar suddenly erupted from the ship, shaking the River of Time, traversing everything, and entering the Land of Creation.
Faintly visible within the Land of Creation stood an unimaginably majestic ancient pass—the Immortal Heavenly Pass, identical to the one beyond the end of the Divine Realm.
It was said in the world that there were nine Heavenly Passes, each different. Now, the fifth had appeared, though it was unknown where it led.
The other side of the Immortal Heavenly Pass had always been shrouded in mystery, pursued by generation after generation. Some said that within it lay the secret to becoming an Emperor. Others said that beyond the Immortal Heavenly Pass lay the path to the Primordial Immortal Realm.
The theories varied, but it was said that different Immortal Heavenly Passes led to different places.
Like the one before them, it might lead to the Primordial Immortal Realm, because even the imprint of Tai Sheng Huang mentioned that Tai Sheng Huang was suspected to have entered the Primordial Immortal Realm.
Were they going to attack the Immortal Heavenly Pass again?
But there was no need to attack. The grand, massive city gate of the Immortal Heavenly Pass opened on its own, accompanied by the scattering of endless immortal qi.
Faintly, they could see that on the other side of the gate was an ancient great world comparable to the Mythical Epoch, with immortal mountains standing tall, various gods floating about, and even the illusory descent of immortal spirits—unimaginable.
The Primordial Immortal Realm!?
The many powerhouses were shocked, their eyes burning with fervor.
It was important to know that the immortals of the Primordial Immortal Realm were supreme existences comparable to the Mythical Emperors and Sovereigns. Even if one could not attain the Dao and become an Emperor in this cosmos, perhaps they could enter the Primordial Immortal Realm and choose to become an immortal.
"Yiyiyaya—"
Yiyi lifted its fearsome little head, its dark, bright eyes looking at the Primordial Immortal Realm with a confused expression. It muttered to itself, "Why do I feel a familiar aura there, like my hometown?"
Ye Chen was shaken. Yiyi's origins had always been mysterious. He didn't even know what kind of creature it was, only that it was extraordinary, not needing to submit even when facing a True Dragon.
But even the well-informed Great Powers of the myriad heavens didn't know Yiyi's true origins, which was puzzling.
It could be seen that on the Immortal Heavenly Pass, there were special existences, powerful beings from various races, all extremely strong. They had opened the Heavenly Pass gate, allowing the Ship That Slays Immortals, the Ancient Immortal Continent, and others to enter, which was astonishing.
Boom, boom, boom—
The massive Ship That Slays Immortals, piloting the shattered cosmos, arrived outside the Immortal Heavenly Pass. The shattered Ancient Immortal Continent also charged in, entering another realm.
This was the last time Ye Chen saw the one suspected to be Elder Yan. At that moment, Ye Chen actually saw the one suspected to be Elder Yan turn back, giving him a faint smile and saying a puzzling sentence: "We'll meet again in the Immortal Realm, Chaos."
With a loud boom, the Ship That Slays Immortals completely vanished.
Among them, they also saw the three Sovereigns—the Primordial Sovereign, the Ruins Sovereign, and the Jialuo Female Sovereign—similarly charging over, disappearing into it.
They even saw the Realm Beast, also charging over. Its massive body was no smaller than the Ship That Slays Immortals, but the Immortal Heavenly Pass was simply too enormous. It too charged through.
Endless light rain drifted out, multicolored and dazzling, awe-inspiring.
The legendary Primordial Immortal Realm was on the other side. The Great Powers of the myriad heavens, who had been somewhat disappointed, were now moved. No one could remain unmoved.
If one could not become an Emperor in this realm, perhaps they could become an immortal in the Primordial Immortal Realm—both were equally peerless, supreme sovereigns.
Boom—
Immediately, an ancient Great Sage couldn't wait any longer and soared into the sky, wanting to enter the Primordial Immortal Realm to seek the fruit of immortality.
