Chapter 1549: Chapter 687: Tongtian Dominator! Immortal Heaven and Earth

In the intelligence known to Li Yuan, the Tongtian Dominator is the sole dominator in the Eighth Dark Domain among the current Star Beast life forms… He shelters countless weak Star Beasts and, with great divine power, formed the ’Heaven-reaching Realm’ and established such a vast power.

“Star Beasts are inherently powerful Divine Bodies, their entire body full of treasures, and they possess special divine skills to sense some treasures in the Cosmic Dark Zone… They are naturally hostile to the life forms of the Cosmic Realm, and there has been a lot of mutual slaughter.” Dong Mang God King said, “Like I have teamed up with other Divine Kings to hunt down more than one Star Beast Emperor.”

Li Yuan immediately thought of the Space Star Emperor Fruit.

Its birth is related to the Star Beast Emperor.

“The Eighth Dark Domain used to have many forces established by Emperor Realm Star Beasts, involved in assassinations with the life forms of the Cosmic Realm.” Dong Mang God King said.

“However, the Tongtian Dominator acts more gently, protecting Star Beast life forms but not hostile towards the life forms of the Cosmic Realm either.” Dong Mang God King said, “Therefore, many forces in the Eighth Dark Domain also have presences in Heaven-reaching Star City.”

Li Yuan understood in his heart.

Buzz~

Soon, the warship had already left the Heaven-reaching Realm and entered a more distant cosmic space-time.

And deep within the Heaven-reaching Realm.

“Hmm?”

A long, winding azure serpent, entangled around an astonishingly long Divine Pillar, crossed this void.

Suddenly, it opened its eyes, and a trace of doubt flashed in them.

“Is that the Cosmic Realm Ship? It seems like the Jue Xing Divine Emperor of the Heart Dream Universe is here.” The azure serpent muttered to itself, then closed its eyes again.

Its temperament was mild, overseeing this space-time, and it rarely had disputes with other Empire Realm beings.

…

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The scenery along the way opened Li Yuan’s eyes wide; although he had acquired plenty of intelligence before, only upon seeing it with his own eyes did he realize the vastness and mysteries of the cosmos.

“We’ve arrived.”

“The Gate of Immortality.” Through the warship, Dong Mang God King pointed to the distance, and Li Yuan followed suit in looking over.

In the dark void, an immense, towering red divine gate stood tall. Behind the gate was a blur, merely rippling with waves of space-time, leading adventurers to unknown directions… A supremely vast eternal aura emanated from the divine gate, enveloping this star sea and sweeping across endless space-time.

Even when hiding inside the warship,

when directly looking at this red divine gate, Li Yuan felt a tremor in his heart, as if witnessing a higher dimensional existence that demanded reverence.

Even the might unleashed by the Abyss Divine Emperor and Heart Dream God Emperor he had once encountered paled in comparison.

“Is this the Gate of Immortality? Passing through it, one can enter the Immortal Heaven and Earth?” Li Yuan held his breath.

This divine gate seemed almost eternal.

“It’s said that.”

“There is an Immortal Gate in each of the eighty-one Dark Domains…” Dong Mang God King also looked up, “In this way, the powerhouses of the entire cosmos can gather within the Immortal Heaven and Earth.”

“This Immortal Gate, in legend, cannot be touched.”

“Cannot be touched?” Li Yuan was startled.

“Indeed.” Dong Mang God King said, “In history, many powerhouses have suspected that this Immortal Gate is a supreme Divine Artifact, attempting to approach it and claim it as their own, yet no matter how they fly, they can never truly reach it… It seems as if it’s not in the same space-time dimension as us.”

“That’s so miraculous?” Li Yuan was secretly surprised, looking at that Gate of Immortality from afar.

“Li Yuan.”

A sudden voice from the Little Tomb rang out: “Actually, Brother Beihe had some speculation about this Immortal Gate… He suspected that the essence of the Immortal Gates in the eighty-one Dark Domains is actually one, merely projecting and manifesting across different cosmic space-times.”

“One gate?” Li Yuan’s heart stirred, growing even more curious.

However, this Gate of Immortality must involve the deepest secrets of the Immortal Heaven and Earth, something he couldn’t comprehend at his current level.

“There are also other powerhouses.” Li Yuan noticed some figures entering the Immortal Gate in the extreme distance in space-time.

At this moment.

“My disciples.”

The Jue Xing Divine Emperor, who had been sitting afar, opened his eyes, and the flow of time around him returned to normal. He looked at Li Yuan and Dong Mang God King: “I will send you off here… Dong Mang, you’re familiar with the Immortal Heaven and Earth, so there’s no need for me to guide you to Star City, right?”

“No need, I will lead Junior Brother there.” Dong Mang God King quickly replied.

“Thank you for the journey, Master.” Li Yuan also said.

“Go on.” The Jue Xing Divine Emperor smiled, waved his hand, and Dong Mang God King and Li Yuan disappeared, being sent into the Gate of Immortality by him.

…

The Immortal Heaven and Earth, with its vast space-time.

Each Immortal Divine Gate corresponds to different space-time coordinates… This is a red divine hall standing amidst the endless star river.

Below the hall is a colossal plaza, and above the plaza are various space-time vortices… Dong Mang God King and Li Yuan flew down from one of these vortices.

Landed on the plaza.

“So many.” Li Yuan glanced around and noticed that nearly a hundred figures had gathered on the plaza, mostly waiting while silently cultivating.

There were also quite a few who seemed to know each other, chatting together.

But a common trait was their quietness.

“Junior Brother, don’t be surprised… Each Immortal Divine Hall corresponds to 27 Dark Domains.” Dong Mang God King transmitted, “So when powerhouses from 27 Dark Domains enter the Immortal Heaven and Earth, they come here.”

“Hmm.” Li Yuan had long acquired intelligence on the Immortal Heaven and Earth and was roughly aware.

Moreover,

with Li Yuan’s cultivation rank, observing briefly, he could also notice that among the nearly hundred figures here, many had obvious differences in aura.

Some had extremely abundant life breath.

Some were almost spiritual bodies, with weak life breath, but their soul fluctuations were astounding.

Some seemed physically frail, yet seemingly posed significant threats to Li Yuan in a mysterious way… Some were accompanied by numerous puppet servants.

“Heavenly Witch Cultivation System? Immortal Soul Cultivation System? Spirit Demon Cultivation System?” With a glance, Li Yuan probed to uncover the backgrounds of many powerhouses present, based on the intelligence.

The cosmos is vast.

In the Eighth Dark Domain, the Star God Cultivation System is mainstream… But in other Dark Domains, there are many different cultivation systems, with diverse and complex methods.

However, all paths eventually converge.

No matter the cultivation system, ultimately they aspire to open the Eternal Dao… Until achieving eternity.

“Junior Brother, can you sense it?” Dong Mang God King said.

“Yes.”

“The Time River indeed no longer exists.” Li Yuan nodded, “Moreover, compared to cosmic space-time, the space here surprisingly is so stable? Almost only slightly weaker than within Beichen Star.”

“Even Void Shifting seems quite difficult.” Li Yuan quickly adapted.

“Indeed.”

“Inside Beichen Star, the Emperor Weapon Origin reinforces it, and space is limited… But the Immortal Heaven and Earth is vast and expansive, and still remains so stable, it’s simply incredible.” Dong Mang God King marveled, “Only the legendary ’Eternal Realm’ may be able to achieve this.”

Li Yuan nodded, eternal yet elusive.

But in this boundless cosmos, indeed many creations transcend the means of Ninth Rank cultivators.

A thought stirred in Li Yuan’s mind, the mysteries of the two eternal Daos he pioneered could still operate… But further deduction became extremely difficult.

It was as if an unseen shackle bound them.

“Unable to deduce the Mystery of Dao,” Li Yuan shook his head, even with discernment as high as his, simultaneously deducing with both True Bodies, the efficiency was alarmingly low.

“It’s not possible to deduce.”

“The Eternal Relics are merely the place for dying Divine Kings to linger, but advancing in power here is nearly impossible.” Dong Mang God King sighed lightly, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

He still had a significant life span remaining, but it was meant for preparing for the ’Revival of the Falling True Body.’

Since choosing ’True Body Slumber,’ it meant he had essentially given up striving for the Empire Realm.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

“Silence.”

“The two new Eighth Rank cultivators, find a place to sit.” A low voice arose, and a figure flew out from the upper red divine hall.

He wore red armor, his aura abundant, coldly overlooking Li Yuan and Dong Mang God King.

“It’s a Divine Guard.” Li Yuan and Dong Mang God King exchanged a glance, a thought stirring as they each released a strand of their unique Great Dao aura.

“The Eternal Dao?”

The Red Armor Divine Guard’s expression shifted, his demeanor softening considerably: “So it’s two Quasi-Saints, have you taken the ’Immortal Order’?”
