They dared not go to the battlefield, dared not invade the heavens and the earth, and could only cower in foreign lands.
Hundreds of years ago, they made a desperate gamble, wanting to destroy the Heavenly Abyss, destroy the resurrection altar, and then sweep across the nine heavens and ten earths with their high-end combat power.
However, because Lin Qing's spirit body had already transformed into powerful energy within the Heavenly Abyss and merged into it, destroying the alien realm's conspiracy, they suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, they remained hidden, leaving the immortals to guard the edge of the Heavenly Abyss. Anyone who came would be killed immediately. Even if they could be resurrected, they would not come to their deaths.
On this day, Lin Qing, along with Shi Hao and the others, appeared in the alien realm.
With great supernatural powers, he directly annihilated all the immortals and immortal kings in the alien realm, turning them into Lin Qing's reserve food.
Lin Qing gave the immortal collection to Shi Hao and the others, and naturally accepted the Immortal King's collection with a smile.
"Alright, your sister Xiaoxue and I have other things to do. You two go and inform them about what happened in the alien realm. Whether we send troops to invade the alien realm or let them go, it doesn't matter."
Lin Qing also did not intend to kill all the creatures in the alien realm, leaving the people of Diguan to handle it themselves.
"Uncle Dragon King, you're going? This is the Imperial Pass!" Shi Hao and the others' faces twitched slightly.
They were actually sent to Diguan by Lin Qing. Helpless, they had no choice but to go to the higher-ups at Diguan to inform them of this.
Xiaoxue: "Young master, where are we going?"
"To reach the Immortal Realm, we still need the essence blood of one hundred different races."
Lin Qing led Hu Xiaoxue to the stone gate where the group of thunder spirits had carried the Thunder Emperor into the Immortal Realm.
"Young master, is this gate the gateway to the Immortal Realm?" Xiaoxue asked curiously.
"Not bad." Lin Qing nodded.
Lin Qing flicked his sleeve, and a burst of divine power shot out, striking the stone door.
Rumble! The entire stone gate trembled violently.
Suddenly, the ancient stone gate emitted a light that seemed to pierce through eternity. It was so sacred, like the first ray of light after the creation of the world, leading to immortality and eternity.
Various markings appeared on the stone gate, telling the secrets of creation and the mystery of chaos. Many ancestors appeared, but they were too blurry to see clearly.
The faint, ethereal sounds of the Daoist chants wash over one's soul, making one feel as if they are about to undergo an evolution!
Centered on the pair of stone gates, lines extend outwards, sparkling and dense, especially on the sides and above.
Soon, it became clearer; it was actually a city wall, spreading out to both sides. Although it was not yet complete, as it was outlined with lines, it was taking shape.
At the same time, a city gate appeared, along with a vast city wall, which stood there, suppressing the cosmos!
Lin Qing thought to himself, "A fortress in the Immortal Realm!"
Some creatures appeared, especially on the city gate tower, where someone was speaking, and the rumbling sound shook the universe.
Lin Qing, with Xiao Xue in tow, appeared directly at the same height as the city gate tower and looked ahead.
Several young men and women, bathed in a hazy light and exuding an ethereal aura, were looking down upon them.
It was clear that they were very young, their eyes not showing signs of age, they were true young people, even a little naive, and all extremely beautiful and handsome.
At this moment, these people displayed an arrogant demeanor, looking down at those below as if nobles were coldly looking at beggars, high and mighty.
Chapter 622 Breaking Through with One Punch (Seeking Recommendations and Monthly Tickets)
These young men and women on the Immortal Realm Fortress were too arrogant, with a cold expression, a kind of aloof indifference that looked down on all living beings, and a hint of contempt.
They saw Lin Qing and Xiao Xue, and at first they showed surprise, but soon they became arrogant and self-important, completely disregarding the creatures of the lower realm.
Although they later tried to remain calm and even smiled, they could not hide their true thoughts from earlier, which was that they absolutely despised the creatures outside.
"Since there are people here, then open the door!" Lin Qing looked at them with a nonchalant expression.
"Heh, interesting." The men on the city gate tower laughed with disdain.
"You think you can just open it like that? What do you think this place is! Just a few mortals, do you think you can enter the Immortal Realm?" the golden-robed man, who looked like a prince, asked coldly.
"Oh? Not driving? Whatever, I can drive it myself." Lin Qing was too lazy to waste words with them.
He stretched out his right fist and slammed it towards the city gate tower. Instantly, an unimaginable and terrifying force struck the city gate tower.
boom!
It broke open; a hole tens of meters wide appeared above, shattered by Lin Qing's punch.
Instantly, an extremely pure essence of heaven and earth surged out from the hole, many times thicker than that in the nine heavens and ten earths.
"You can do as you please! Xiaoxue, we're leaving." Lin Qing didn't even look at those people, and pulled Xiaoxue into the Immortal Realm.
"Oh no, how is this possible?"
"It's breached? The fortress has been attacked?"
"Who is that person? How could he break through the fortress with a single punch?"
They, who had been so arrogant before, were all dejected and stared at the scene in utter horror.
"Could it be the Celestial King?" a woman asked tremblingly.
"No, we must notify them immediately. No matter what they say, we can't forgive the people who broke in. Let the ancestors deal with them."
"This hole needs to be repaired quickly, otherwise, the Immortal Realm will surely be corrupted by darkness." The man in the golden robe left without lingering.
The others did the same and left.
On this day, a dramatic change occurred in the upper realm (the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths).
At first, some rainbow lights would occasionally fly out, appearing in the nine heavens and also in the ten lands.
However, in the end, they were all integrated into the Three Thousand Provinces and eventually entered the Spirit Realm (equivalent to the Void God Realm in the lower realm), causing turmoil and dramatic changes in that spiritual kingdom!
"ah……"
When the first scream rang out, the upper realm trembled.
In a certain area of the spirit world, darkness descended, transforming the peaceful atmosphere into a raging inferno.
In that area, any living being simply collapsed. Their souls shattered, and they vanished without a trace, becoming vegetative in the real world.
Before many could react, a torrent of black mist surged forth, engulfing the area, and screams echoed throughout. No one was spared.
Soon, this area of the spirit world became deathly silent; there was no sound at all, only darkness rapidly expanding its territory.
Such a major event could not possibly be concealed; it caused a tremendous uproar.
The Three Thousand Provinces were no longer at peace, and the major families across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were on high alert, realizing the gravity of the situation.
The spirit world became a dead zone, and no one dared to enter. Then, something even more terrifying happened.
The spirit world began to collapse, and dark matter leaked out, corroding the real world, which baffled everyone. Tremors, fear, and terror made many people tremble.
"What exactly is this thing?"
"Did the people of the Immortal Realm withdraw their troops because of this?"
"Darkness is encroaching, ominous substances are attacking; do not touch it, or you will die!"
Some people cried out in alarm and tried to escape, but they were no match for the speed at which the darkness was encroaching, and they vanished.
Fortunately, this eroded area is on the edge of the Three Thousand States, in a no-man's-land.
There weren't many living beings; otherwise, the losses would have been even more severe.
The black mist eroded at an incredibly rapid pace, like a black, monstrous wave crashing against the shore, sweeping across the three thousand provinces. Within a single day, it had engulfed the area near the edge.
Here, all living things fall silent when shrouded in darkness.
"They're all dead! They're all dead! No matter what their cultivation level was, none of them escaped!"
A creature cried out; he was a survivor. Although he had escaped, his forehead turned black and his face turned ashen. He quickly fell from mid-air to the ground and died.
Those who were not afraid of death went to check and found that his primordial spirit had collapsed, as if it had been completely swallowed up and disappeared, while his physical body was intact without a single wound.
If it weren't for the absence of vital signs, I would have thought it was just asleep.
What happened next was even more unbelievable. A wisp of black energy rose from the man's body, instantly creating an eerie atmosphere in the vicinity, followed by the spread of darkness.
"ah……"
Screams echoed everywhere as nearby creatures perished one after another. Indeed, those who court death will not die.
This bizarre and terrifying change spread like an ancient plague, becoming an unprecedented catastrophe!
"At the beginning of darkness, a new era has begun!" someone sighed, their voice heavy with sorrow and old age, filled with helplessness, deep pain, and a profound sense of resentment and regret.
In just one day, the two states were gone! They were plunged into darkness and death.
This upheaval is spreading at an alarming rate! The three thousand provinces are in complete chaos; this is a catastrophe akin to the end of the world!
All the sects are fleeing in a frenzy; there's simply no way to resist them.
In the heavens above, all the races were in a panic, unable to understand what that was or why it was happening!
Although they haven't been affected yet, all the races in the Nine Heavens have made preparations in advance and all want to hide in the Immortal Realm.
"Have the envoys and generals from the Immortal Realm left yet? Go quickly and invite them; you must bring our clan into the Immortal Realm!"
"I'm afraid not. Only families selected as invincible seeds are qualified to enter the Immortal Realm."
Countless families want to enter the Immortal Realm to avoid disaster, simply because the safest place right now is the Immortal Realm.
In contrast to the families and lineages that fled, one force did the opposite; instead of fleeing, it made every effort to go to the land corrupted by darkness.
They were none other than the Dragon Court, founded by Lin Qing.
Because Lin Qing already knew that darkness was about to descend, but he still had to complete the main quest, he left behind a spiritual body to guard the Dragon Court.
It's not for anything else, it's just to save lives and earn merit points.
"Damn it, we're too late. They've already invaded two states." Lin Qing said with some regret.
Lin Qing looked at the still-swirling dark matter and said, "Never mind, it's not too late now. Activate the formation."
He formed a specific hand seal, and instantly, a golden array appeared, covering hundreds of nearby states in an instant.
