Chapter 1199: Wu Yuan’s Reputation (4)
Deep within the cosmic sea lay another vast and boundless megaverse, with its own constantly evolving River of Universes and Heartland. Like a miniature version of the Central Megaverse, this realm was known as the Ancient Megaverse.
The entire megaverse was dominated by a single power—the Ancient Alliance—and its supreme leader was named Yan Tuo.
"Interesting! Truly interesting!" A towering figure emerged from a temple, gazing down upon the worlds below. His aura of supreme authority enveloped all.
"Yan Tuo! Yan Tuo! Yan Tuo!" Countless beings across innumerable worlds sensed that supreme majesty, falling to their knees in reverence, chanting and praying in hushed tones.
"For the Eldritch Court to produce such a monstrous prodigy," the imposing man murmured, "he will likely ascend to the Dao Zenithel stage before long." A calculating gleam entered his eyes. "Fight on, Jin Yi, Hou Tu. The more fiercely you clash, the greater my opportunity becomes."
...
In a mysterious pocket of spacetime completely isolated from the world outside, countless lifeforms thrived. This was neither a Saint Realm nor Eternal Realm. Had eternal powerhouses from beyond witnessed this, they would have been utterly dumbfounded. How could ordinary sempiternal lifeforms survive in the cosmic sea without the operational laws of the Saint Realm?
"It's finally done," muttered an elderly man in black robes as he emerged from a tavern. His face was incredibly aged, as if death itself lurked just beneath his skin. Even cultivators would have sensed the thick miasma of mortality enshrouding him.
"Wu Yuan? I did not bestow the Samsara Sword upon you in vain." The elderly man in black picked up a wine jug, swaying unsteadily as he walked down the street. "Soon. We need only wait for you to break through to Dao Zenithel. Then the final gambit can begin."
...
The battle in the Ling Jiang Universe sent shockwaves throughout the entire cosmic sea. Renowned leaders of various factions and ancient Dao Zenithels alike swiftly learned of this conflict.
Many Dao Zenithels wondered—was Wu Yuan truly a sempiternal lifeform? If so, how could his strength be so immense? It defied all reason. Countless powerful beings, trapped at bottlenecks for innumerable samsara cycles, yearned to unravel Wu Yuan's secrets.
