"Shall we go up to the Immortal Realm to take a look?" asked Quasi-Emperor Mo You.
"No need. Didn't Xu Wu Guang go up? Let him scout the path first. No rush!" replied the Dark Heavenly Lord.
Quasi-Emperor Mo You nodded in agreement.
"Then how shall we deal with this True Immortal Xu Yu? I can feel the aura within him. If we can obtain his True Immortal Dao Fruit, perhaps Your Heavenly Lordship can also ascend to the True Immortal realm!" Quasi-Emperor Mo You continued to inquire.
"The True Immortal Dao Fruit can be schemed for, but not now!" The Dark Heavenly Lord revealed a faint smile.
...
Leaving the realm gate, True Immortal Xu Yu arrived at other parts of the Central Continent, ravenously devouring flesh and blood.
Under True Immortal Xu Yu's terrifying power, many of the dark race's tribesmen were swiftly transformed into his spiritual essence.
Curiously, True Immortal Xu Yu encountered no resistance and proceeded unimpeded.
The smoothness of his progress was almost unbelievable to True Immortal Xu Yu himself.
"These useless fools! I thought they would put up some resistance, but they have no courage at all. How boring!" True Immortal Xu Yu scoffed as he devoured all the spiritual essence of the Central Continent.
As he consumed more flesh and blood, True Immortal Xu Yu's aura grew increasingly potent. The dense spiritual essence made him appear even more divine.
"It's too boring. Eating too much of the dark race has become tiresome!" After a few days, True Immortal Xu Yu seemed to have grown weary of the dark race, muttering softly.
"Perhaps I can go and check out the Primordial Divine Mountains. I've long heard that the meat of the ancient demon races is delicious. Now would be a good time to try!" True Immortal Xu Yu then prepared to head to the Primordial Divine Mountains in the Central Continent.
...
Central Continent.
Primordial Divine Mountains.
The surroundings of the Primordial Divine Mountains remained as picturesque and beautiful as ever, completely unaffected by the invasion of the dark race.
It was like an otherworldly paradise.
True Immortal Xu Yu gazed at the beautiful scenery before him, and the scent of fresh flesh and blood emanating from within ignited a primal craving within him.
"I haven't smelled such a delicious aroma in a long time. Although this barren place is poor, its blood food is truly exquisite!" True Immortal Xu Yu licked his lips, his eyes filled with fierce malice.
"Boom!!!"
Immediately, True Immortal Xu Yu unleashed a surge of immortal power towards the Primordial Divine Mountains, intending to directly devour the flesh and blood within.
"Bang!!!"
However, a barrier of magical power seemed to appear around the Primordial Divine Mountains, directly blocking True Immortal Xu Yu's immortal power attack.
Seeing his attack thwarted, True Immortal Xu Yu became extremely agitated.
"This is no place for you to act so presumptuously!" Following this, a heavy and ancient voice echoed from the depths of the Primordial Divine Mountains.
The Lord of the Primordial Divine Mountains slowly emerged from the depths, confronting True Immortal Xu Yu outside.
"Presumptuous! It is your honor to be eaten by me. Have you been lording over the sheep for so long that you truly believe you are an invincible supreme being?" True Immortal Xu Yu looked at the Lord of the Primordial Divine Mountains and said with a faint mockery.
"Youngster, when I was traversing the Immortal Realm, your grandfather wasn't even born yet!" the Lord of the Primordial Divine Mountains spoke calmly, his tone devoid of emotion.
"Oh, although you are old, I believe you would be tastier than those dark creatures!" True Immortal Xu Yu then licked his lips.
With that, True Immortal Xu Yu unleashed his terrifying immortal power and engaged in a fierce battle with the Lord of the Primordial Divine Mountains.
After a few exchanges, True Immortal Xu Yu's expression subtly changed.
"I didn't expect that in such a desolate place, one could still maintain the strength of a Heavenly Realm Emperor. It seems this forsaken land holds quite a few secrets!" True Immortal Xu Yu remarked calmly, observing the Lord of the Primordial Divine Mountains, who was holding his own after several clashes.
The Emperor realm was divided into three stages: Profound Realm, Spirit Realm, and Heavenly Realm.
Upon reaching the Heavenly Realm Emperor stage, one could then strive for the True Immortal realm.
There was also an ultimate realm, known as the Ultimate Dao Realm. This realm could only be achieved after merging with the Heavenly Dao imprint.
An Ultimate Dao Emperor was the strongest form of Emperor, possessing the blessing of the Heavenly Dao imprint, allowing them to wield the power of the Heavenly Dao. They were the true invincible rulers of the Desolate Ancient Continent.
However, Ultimate Dao Emperors had not appeared for a long time, and even ordinary Profound Realm Emperors rarely broke through.
"There are many things you haven't realized yet!" the Lord of the Primordial Divine Mountains continued slowly.
"Heh, I don't need to know much. I only need to destroy you old fool. All the secrets here will be mine!" True Immortal Xu Yu sneered.
"Everyone, what are you waiting for? Today, let us hunt the True Immortal and seize his Dao Fruit!" At this moment, the Lord of the Primordial Divine Mountains shouted again.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
As soon as the Lord of the Primordial Divine Mountains finished speaking, the surrounding space distorted.
Three top powerhouses, possessing the same terrifying aura as the Lord of the Primordial Divine Mountains, appeared beside True Immortal Xu Yu.
They were the Lord of the West King Tower in the Western Desert, the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Forest in the Southern Domain, and the Lord of the Ice Plains in the Northern Plains, all cultivators of the Heavenly Realm Emperor level.
The four peak powerhouses surrounded True Immortal Xu Yu, their eyes filled with chilling intent.
Seeing their appearance, True Immortal Xu Yu's expression finally changed.
Four peak powerhouses at the Heavenly Realm Emperor level, even as a True Immortal, he felt immense pressure.
'Everyone, I think we can sit down and talk things through. There's no need for fighting!' True Immortal Xu Yu exhaled a breath of turbid air and said slowly.
"No need. We prefer dealing with the dead!" the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Forest said coldly.
"Boom!!!"
A moment later, an earth-shattering battle erupted.
The fierce aura and imperial might were almost enough to destroy everything...
...
"Those old fellows are indeed unfathomable. It seems this True Immortal Dao Fruit will likely fall into their hands!" Far from the battlefield of the Primordial Divine Mountains, the Holy Lord of the Chaos Holy Land watched the distant battle with an unusual gleam in his eyes.
Nearby, the Sect Master of the Primordial Demon Sect also stood, quietly observing their fight.
"It's alright. The channel has been opened, and the feast has just begun!" the Sect Master of the Primordial Demon Sect said faintly.
The Holy Lord of the Chaos Holy Land nodded. With the realm gate channel open, the Immortal Realm would surely not be unaware.
There would definitely be other True Immortals descending. They could wait patiently.
...
The great battle continued. The lords of the four forbidden lands were all peak Heavenly Realm Emperors, their powers immense.
Under the siege of several peak powerhouses, True Immortal Xu Yu gradually began to feel the strain.
It seemed that due to the world's laws, True Immortal Xu Yu's immortal power was inexplicably weakened.
"Scum! You old fools, if you were in the Immortal Realm, I could destroy you with one hand!" Seven days later, True Immortal Xu Yu's vitality finally began to wane, and his immortal power slowly weakened.
...
