Chapter 209: The Immortal Relic Emerges
That voice was extremely hoarse, impossible to distinguish as male or female.
Yet those who heard it all felt sorrow surge within their hearts, tears flowing silently from their eyes.
Even the Supreme Beings standing outside the world lowered their heads.
Affected by that voice, they could not help but grieve, tears streaming down their faces.
“Boom!”
At that moment, another earth-shaking roar erupted from within the lightning pillar.
Heaven and earth trembled.
The next instant, everyone saw—
above the Nine Heavens, a gigantic palm descended.
Li Yunqing, holding the broken sword, charged upward.
But the moment she touched that palm—
her body shattered into pieces, exploding into immortal light that fell toward the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
“No!”
Gu Yuan roared, his aura surging, blood flowing from his eyes. “Sister!”
Not only Gu Yuan, but Li Shuo, the Sword God, the Sword Saint, Xiao Lan, and others all cried out.
They rushed toward the lightning pillar.
But upon contact—
the thunder exploded, blasting them away.
“Pfft!”
All coughed blood, tumbling through the void.
They stared blankly at the falling figure and scattered immortal light.
Disbelief filled their hearts.
Some rushed forward again—
only to be blasted away once more.
Before the lightning pillar, even Gu Yuan could not resist.
“She… is dead?”
At that moment, a silent grief spread throughout the Fallen Immortal Land.
The pioneer of the path of phenomena.
The one who had slain the Nine Kings alone and saved the Great Xia.
The creator of the Dao Scripture.
Such a peerless figure—
had died?
The thought had barely formed before countless people broke into sobs.
“No! She cannot die!”
“I swore to protect her for a lifetime… AHHH!”
Gu Yuan roared again, rushing forward—
yet it was futile.
He only injured himself further.
Others collapsed, overwhelmed by grief, unable to even speak.
Even the external Supreme Beings sighed.
“What a pity…”
“A prodigy who had touched the Immortal Dao, yet perished in such a strange tribulation.”
But suddenly, a voice rang out—
“No! Something is wrong!”
“This scene… I’ve seen it in ancient texts!”
“Yes! This is the scene of an immortal falling from the Nine Heavens!”
“The immortal shattered into light, falling into the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!”
“Isn’t that why this place is called the Fallen Immortal Land?”
At those words, all fell silent.
They looked again at the lightning pillar—
at the falling light, the blood.
“Is it truly that ancient event?”
The Supreme Beings were uncertain.
It looked identical—
but that event was far too ancient.
Millions? Tens of millions? Billions of years ago?
No one knew.
Only that the name Fallen Immortal Land had existed since records began.
What truly remained in memory—
was not the fall itself—
but the Immortal Relic left behind.
Just like the rare Immortal Artifacts or fragments of Immortal King Artifacts in the Nine Heavens—
objects of unimaginable power.
Countless people sought them desperately.
And the Immortal Dao—
the ultimate goal of all cultivators.
That was the true reason this legend endured.
“No!”
“Miss cannot die!”
“That’s not her!”
“It cannot be!”
Xiao Lan cried out, her voice filled with despair.
She had grown up with Li Yunqing.
Her entire life revolved around her.
If Li Yunqing died—
what meaning did her own life have?
“Wait—the tribulation hasn’t dispersed!”
Di Qing said, his voice trembling.
But as emperor, he forced himself to remain calm.
“If the one undergoing tribulation dies, the tribulation will dissipate.”
“Since it remains—she is not dead!”
At those words, everyone froze.
Then joy surged.
“The tribulation is still here!”
“She’s alive!”
Excitement spread.
Di Qing was right.
If she had died, the lightning would have vanished.
But it remained.
Thus, what they saw—
might not be reality.
Even the external Supreme Beings noticed.
“The tribulation remains… perhaps that truly was the ancient scene!”
“Or perhaps not—this tribulation is unprecedented.”
“No one can be certain.”
“Rumble—”
At that moment, the entire Fallen Immortal Land shook.
Mountains trembled.
The void vibrated.
“What is happening?”
“That’s not from the tribulation!”
“The whole world is shaking!”
Then—
“Crack!”
A tremendous cracking sound echoed.
The Transverse Immortal Mountains trembled violently.
Next—
strands of immortal light burst forth across the land.
They illuminated the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
All attention shifted.
“Boom!”
Thunderous sounds erupted from the depths of the earth and void.
It was as if the world itself was breaking apart.
More and more immortal light burst forth—
brighter and brighter.
Even the world barrier could not contain it.
The light spread across all realms.
“It’s the Immortal Relic!”
“It must be!”
“I understand—it’s because of Li Yunqing!”
“She forged an immortal foundation—her light triggered it!”
“Hahaha! So it needed immortal light as a catalyst!”
“Quick—prepare to enter the Fallen Immortal Land and seize it!”
The Supreme Beings’ eyes burned with greed.
The Immortal Relic—
must contain the secret of immortality.
Immortal artifacts, techniques, inheritances—
any of them would be supreme treasures.
For cultivators—
nothing was more tempting than immortality.
Even death would not deter them.
“Boom!”
The rumbling intensified.
Immortal light poured across the land.
Spiritual energy surged wildly.
Plants grew rapidly.
Beings touched by the light grew stronger.
The emergence of the Immortal Relic—
blessed the world.
“Ring the bell—announce to all!”
Di Qing’s voice echoed.
“The Immortal Relic has emerged! Prepare for war!”
Bell chimes rang across the Central Region.
Countless figures rose into the sky.
The Great Xia mobilized.
Soldiers gathered in full armor, weapons ready.
“Crack!”
Suddenly—
the world barrier shattered.
As if cut open by a blade.
Through the breach, powerful figures appeared.
Over a dozen Supreme Beings had joined forces to open a gateway.
Beyond it—
countless figures stood in the void.
The weakest were in the Seventh Realm.
The strongest—Ninth Realm experts.
Without Supreme Beings, Ninth Realm experts were invincible.
Even suppressed, they could still wield Eighth Realm power.
Hundreds of them stood ready.
More watched from the shadows.
Once the relic fully emerged—
a war across all realms would begin.
Di Qing took a deep breath.
“Do not fear!”
“This is our world—they will be suppressed!”
“Their techniques will weaken!”
“As long as we stand united—we will win!”
“For our homeland—for our descendants—fight to the death!”
“Boom!”
At that moment—
a massive object burst forth from the void.
Radiating immortal light like a blazing sun.
The Immortal Relic had emerged.
“Enter the Fallen Immortal Land—”
Before the Supreme Beings could finish speaking—
they froze.
The relic—
shot toward the lightning pillar like a meteor.
Inside the tribulation—
Li Yunqing still sat within her chaotic phenomenon.
Her body was unharmed—
but tears filled her eyes.
An unbearable sorrow surged within her.
“So this tribulation… is the True Spirit Tribulation!”
“My True Spirit returned to the past… and participated in that Immortal Fall!”
