Editor: Henyee Translations
Over the past century, demonic cultivators had been constantly thwarted by the righteous sects, and the antagonism between the two sides had become almost irreconcilable.
Indeed, among these demonic forces, which had long been a malignancy in the Floodgate Realm, there were also Mahayana Daolords. However, unlike typical sect leaders, these ancient Daolords of the demonic paths rarely concerned themselves with the welfare of their followers. They spent most of their time in seclusion, emerging only when exceptionally rare treasures appeared that warranted their attention.
And the Immortal’s cave abode undoubtedly met these criteria.
By then, it was inevitable that these ancient Daolords of the demonic sects would take action. Daolord Divine Shadow’s words served as a reminder to everyone of this fact.
“Hmm, those old undying of the demonic sects will definitely not be able to sit still this time,” Qin Shenwu commented with a serious tone.
Although he was still confident about the journey, he harbored increased concerns for the safety of his disciples. Among the many Mahayana Daolords, Qin Shenwu was known to be particularly attentive to his disciples, a trait deeply rooted in the tradition of the Haoran Sect, which was known for its protective stance.
“Alas, with so many unexpected factors now to consider, let’s not hurry to depart. Let’s take a few more days to think this over,” Daolord Allheaven suggested, indicating that they could afford to take some time to reconsider.
After all, finding the entrance was likely to take decades, so there was no rush.
Thus, the Mahayana Daolords and their disciples dispersed to rest temporarily within the confines of the Pantheon Sect.
Soon, several days had passed.
The teams from the Pantheon Sect, Haoran Sect, Infinite Sect, and Divine Shadow Gate gathered once again, and this time, the atmosphere was just as somber as before.
In silence, everyone exchanged glances, a tacit agreement evident among them. It was clear that after reconsidering all the risks, no one was willing to give up halfway.
This time, no one spoke further; everything that needed to be said was understood without words.
“Let’s go!”
As soon as Daolord Allheaven spoke, the four great Mahayana Daolords acted. They unleashed their powerful Dao rule, merging their formidable energies at one point, and in an instant, space itself was cleaved open, revealing a massive, profound gate of void.
Beyond this dark gate, everyone could already sense an indescribable aura coming from the outer realms—a chaotic, unordered presence only ever witnessed by Mahayana Daolords.
A solemn expression appeared on Jiang Chengxuan’s face, mirrored by his companions, as a mix of excitement and apprehension played across their features.
Then, without any hesitation, the Mahayana Daolords surged their Dao rules once more, enveloping their disciples, and then transformed into streaks of light that shot into the gate of the outer realms.
Buzz—
With a strange hum, Jiang Chengxuan and the others felt as though they had arrived in a profoundly deep world, more oppressive than the deepest ocean. Their senses were compressed to an extreme.
So this was the outer world.
Looking around, they saw worlds that appeared as ephemeral as bubbles, countless stars, and various laws morphing into chaos. Even for Jiang Chengxuan, who had witnessed the cosmic primordial era, the sight was astonishing.
The outer realms represented the primordial state of the world—the most authentic form of the universe.
At this moment, not just Jiang Chengxuan but all the Dao Integration cultivators and the disciples from various sects felt an indescribable shock.
The outer realms were the domain of the supremely powerful.
As they ventured deeper, Shen Ruyan involuntarily grasped Jiang Chengxuan’s hand tighter.
Under Daolord Allheaven’s lead, the lights formed by the four Mahayana Daolords, like linked stars, sped through the outer space toward their target location.
The region where the Immortal’s cave abode might be located was no smaller than the Floodgate Realm. Finding the entrance in such vastness without means would be impossible.
The monotonous journey was incredibly dull.
It had been a long time since these top-tier cultivators had traveled such a long distance.
“Just spending time on this journey has already taken almost a year,” someone remarked.
“We’re close now,” Daolord Allheaven’s voice suddenly rang out, brightening everyone’s spirits.
Finally, after a lengthy journey, they entered the domain where the Immortal’s cave abode was located.
Around them were countless meteorites and dead stars, the energy extremely chaotic.
“Be careful, there’s a group of outer realm beasts ahead. Prepare for battle!”
But immediately after, Daolord Allheaven delivered another piece of less welcome news. Clearly, the energy eruptions from the Immortal’s Cave had not only attracted the attention of those from the Floodgate Realm but also the chaotic beasts roaming the outer realms.
ROAR!
Before anyone could react further, massive roars filled their ears. The first confrontation in the outer realm began abruptly.
In front of Jiang Chengxuan and the others, dark shadows shifted, and chaos swirled, revealing several immense, semi-corporeal chaos beasts.
These creatures, born from the chaos of the outer realms, possessed rudimentary sentience but were terrifyingly powerful. By nature, they possessed the strength of Dao Integration practitioners.
In the outer realms, Dao rules were abundantly accessible, although humans could not endure them. The chaotic forces were too disjointed to be harnessed by humans, but these chaos beasts could brutally exploit them.
ROAR!
The chaos beasts charged towards the group, their bodies emanating chaotic Dao rules that formed countless tentacles ripping through the void.
Before Jiang Chengxuan and the others could make a move, Qin Shenwu waved his hand dramatically, unleashing terrifying Dao powers that instantly shattered numerous chaos beasts.
In the presence of a Mahayana Daolord, these chaotic law forces were evidently insufficient.
Sizzle… sizzle…
However, the situation was far from over.
The chaos beasts, even though shattered into countless pieces by Qin Shenwu, began to coalesce back into shadowy forms—this time merging into a single, more formidable entity!
This newly formed chaos beast’s aura reached a terrifying level, matching that of a Mahayana Daolord. It was massive, stellar in size, prompting even Qin Shenwu to look serious.
He manifested the Dao of the Five Elements around him, turning the five dominant elemental forces into a flowing river, hurtling towards the chaos beast.
The chaos beast, undeterred, unleashed a barrage of chaotic Dao rules in retaliation, firing them directly at Qin Shenwu.
Rumble!
The clash of Mahayana Daolords triggered a tremendous explosion, pulverizing countless meteorites and dead stars in the vicinity, which exploded in sequence.
This section of the outer realms instantly transformed into a fiery inferno, with chaotic energy currents tearing through the area, forcing Jiang Chengxuan and the others to summon their powers to resist.
