Chen Wangu emerged from seclusion, having finally taken that step and truly ascended to the ’Immortal’ level. Upon his emergence, he immediately sensed the situation on the Three Realms Battlefield.

And so.

Chen Wangu acted without hesitation.

With his Immortal Supreme Power, he summoned the Cyan Willow Sword and suppressed the entire Three Realms Battlefield. His terrifying Immortal Sword Dao swept through with unstoppable force, annihilating the entirety of the nine great armies.

Powerful!

Extremely powerful!

"AH!!!"

"No! No!!"

"Save me! Save me!!"

"Don’t!!"

SPLURT! SPLURT! SPLURT!

Blood sprayed through the air.

The Cyan Willow Sword weaved through the air like a dragon. After slaying Bright Moon Immortal Venerable in a single strike, it went on to annihilate the remaining eight Leader Level experts.

None were spared.

From start to finish.

No being of the ’Immortal’ level appeared to challenge Chen Wangu.

"This... this..."

"Is this the Power of an ’Immortal’?"

"Gasp..."

"He’s too strong... just far too strong!"

"..."

Shock.

Absolute shock.

On the battlefield.

Kunlun Daoist Monarch, along with all the other experts of the Human Race from the Profound Yellow Realm, raised their heads to gaze up at the Sword Qi and phantom of the Cyan Willow Sword.

Their eyes were filled with profound awe.

VMM! VMM!

The next moment.

The Cyan Willow Sword streaked across the sky and hovered before Kunlun Daoist Monarch and the others. Wisps of cyan Sword Qi swirled continuously, coalescing into a young man clad in a long cyan robe.

Up close, it was none other than Chen Wangu.

Except, he looked much younger.

"We pay our respects to the ’Immortal’!"

"..."

Immediately, Kunlun Daoist Monarch and the others exchanged a glance, took a deep breath, and stood before Chen Wangu, bowing respectfully.

It could be said that...

Before Chen Wangu’s breakthrough, Kunlun Daoist Monarch and the others were his peers, all of them beings at the Extreme of the ’Eighth Realm’.

But now,

...now that Chen Wangu had taken that step and entered the ’Immortal’ realm, he was no longer their peer. Kunlun Daoist Monarch and the others had become his juniors, required to bow to him in respect.

"Mm."

Chen Wangu’s expression was calm. His gaze swept over Kunlun Daoist Monarch and the others. After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "Where is my disciple, ’Xu Qing’?"

"In reply, Immortal One," Kunlun Daoist Monarch answered swiftly, "Xu Qing has already gone to the ’Xuanhuang Guardian City’ and is currently undergoing a trial from the ’Profound Yellow Elder’."

"Oh."

Chen Wangu frowned and said in a low voice, "Why does my disciple need to be tested by the ’Profound Yellow Elder’? I will teach him myself."

"This..."

Kunlun Daoist Monarch and the others lowered their heads.

"Never mind."

Chen Wangu waved his hand. "No need to say more. I know the situation. I understand that the Profound Yellow Elder is about to face the Chaos Great Tribulation and needs a successor."

"At the start, you didn’t know that I would be able to ascend to the ’Immortal’ realm."

"Very well."

Chen Wangu nodded and continued, "The Profound Yellow Elder is indeed qualified to teach my disciple. In that case, let Xu Qing remain in Xuanhuang Guardian City for now."

"Next,"

"I will go to the ’Dark Forbidden Land’ once more."

"This time,"

"I will surely slay a ’Forbidden Land Life’."

"This..."

"Chen the Immortal, please reconsider."

"..."

Upon hearing Chen Wangu’s declaration, Kunlun Daoist Monarch and the others were aghast. Their faces filled with horror at the thought that Chen Wangu actually intended to charge into the Dark Forbidden Land again.

After all,

the first time Chen Wangu went, the Forbidden Land Life within the Dark Forbidden Land had not yet truly awakened. That was why he was able to wreak havoc there, slaying the Forbidden Land’s servants, but he had been severely injured himself in the process.

Now,

the Nine Great Forbidden Lands in the Sea of Chaos were in the process of a full revival, and many of the Forbidden Land Life were gradually awakening. If Chen Wangu were to barge in again, it would be a completely different situation.

He would be truly confronting a ’Forbidden Land Life’.

"My mind is made up."

CLANG!

The moment his voice fell, Chen Wangu, having emerged from seclusion to suppress the entire Three Realms Battlefield and slay nine Dao Level beings with a single sword, charged toward the ’Dark Forbidden Land’ once more, a lone man with his lone sword.

’Is this what an indomitable Immortal Will is?’

「Xuanhuang Guardian City.」

The Profound Yellow Elder stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing out from afar. He had already seen the situation and knew what Chen Wangu had done. "So this is ’Chen Wangu’s’ Immortal Will!"

At this moment.

In the Level 41 Beastman Mini World.

VMM! VMM!

Xu Qing was meditating on and practicing the Chaos Sword Dao, unaware of the events in the outside world. He had no idea that his master had emerged from seclusion, let alone that his Cultivation had ascended to the ’Immortal’ level.

Right now,

Xu Qing was completely absorbed in his Meditation and practice, comprehending the many facets of the Chaos Sword Dao as his Experience Points rapidly increased.

...

[Experience +1]

...

[Experience +1]

...

「Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed.」

「In the Dark Forbidden Land, one of the Nine Great Forbidden Lands of the Sea of Chaos.」

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

CLANG!!!

About a hundred years ago, Chen Wangu had charged into the Dark Forbidden Land, a lone man with his lone sword. The sounds of battle, the thunderous booms, and the furious roars from within had not stopped for a single moment since.

Moreover,

the cyan Sword Qi acted like a supreme Sharp Artifact, tearing through the gloom of the Dark Forbidden Land.

It could be said that...

news of the commotion in the Dark Forbidden Land had already spread far and wide. Across the entire Sea of Chaos, the Nine Great Origin Worlds and the other eight Forbidden Lands were all paying close attention to the situation.
