Chapter 144: Chapter 132: The Great Sun Taoist Map Locks the Immortal King’s Avatar!_1

Heavenly Realm!

In the Immortal Dao Palace of Huangtian State,

Dugu Yuqing, holding the Broken Sword in his hand, felt at this moment as if he had become the only unique existence in this world!

With only the sword in his hand, he could cut through all heavens!

Sword Intent Soaring Through the Skies!

However, at this very moment!

Suddenly, within the Immortal Dao Palace, the tip of the Broken Sword lying beneath the stone table started to tremble abruptly!

A terrifying light emitted from it, and the fearful laws and lights formed a phantom!

As soon as this phantom appeared, the entire Immortal Dao Palace trembled instantly!

It was a blurry figure, his appearance indistinct, but one could still feel a sense of his grand and majestic aura, as if he was an invincible Venerable from heaven and earth!

The phantom figure stood with his hands behind his back, and the moment he appeared, the tip of the Broken Sword instantly turned to fine powder, no longer existing.

“A True Sword Seed capable of inheriting the Ultimate Sword Path?”

“Before my presence, all would be reduced to ashes—”

The phantom figure suddenly raised his hand.

At that instant, inside the Dao Palace, Lu Rang, Dugu Yuqing, and Ji Yuanqing all felt an incredibly terrifying pressure!

It was as if the Master of the mortal world had decreed their deaths.

Their bodies trembled, almost kneeling down!

At this moment, the pot of grass carried on Lu Rang’s back emitted a white glow like bone ash, seemingly trying to resist.

And the Broken Sword in Dugu Yuqing’s hand emitted a faint sound, as if it harbored an unyielding will to fight.

The ashes of the First Heavenly Realm’s Immortal King and the Broken Sword of the Southern Immortal Domain’s Infinite Sword King sensed the approach of their ancient foe and resisted on their own.

Yet they could not stop the phantom figure from approaching step by step.

“To live and die by my hand, and in death, how could you possibly contend against me?”

A voice, devoid of emotion yet vast, sounded from the phantom.

He raised his hand.

The Broken Sword drooped low, the green grass trembled!

In Dugu Yuqing’s heart surged an endless murderous intent towards the figure before him!

“No matter who you are, today, you must die!”

He shouted furiously and suddenly pulled out a scroll from his bosom!

The scroll unfurled rapidly, revealing a setting sun upon it!

Mountain ranges undulated, and the sun was like blood between heaven and earth.

When this image appeared, the figure that was approaching them step by step, like a king, suddenly paused!

The picture in Dugu Yuqing’s hand suddenly displayed countless terrifying laws, as if a blazing Great Sun had appeared within the palace!

“Great Sun Taoist Map… The Buddha of the Western Immortal Domain? He dares to interfere with my matters?!”

The figure let out a surprised cry, then reached out towards the Great Sun Taoist Map!

With that terrifying grasp, the entire Dao Palace thundered, and the laws of heaven and earth almost collapsed!

Dugu Yuqing, fearless, held the image of the setting sun and stepped forward!

“Boom boom—”

Suddenly, that terrifying hand transformed into countless laws and dissipated into nothingness.

“How could this be?!”

The phantom figure was taken aback.

Moreover, at that instant, he clearly felt a terrifying power within the picture, like a whirlpool trying to suck him into the Dao Map!

“How dare you!”

Countless laws of the Immortal Path draped from his body, and the whole world trembled with it!

He resisted this terrifying attractive force.

But at that moment, the Great Sun Taoist Map expanded infinitely, transforming into a realm of its own and aggressively enveloping the phantom figure!

“I can break through the Myriad Realms—Even if you can lock me in this domain, I will shatter it and return!”

With a final roar, the phantom figure swiftly vanished!

The next moment, the grand hall fell silent.

The terrifying Great Sun Taoist Map slowly drifted down from the air.

And eventually landed in Dugu Yuqing’s hands.

The figure, terrifying and unparalleled from heaven to earth, had disappeared.

As if he had never appeared at all.

“What… What kind of Dao Map is this? Why is it so terrifying… It actually managed to absorb an existence of the Immortal King’s level into it?!”

Ji Yuanqing was trembling, looking at the scroll in disbelief, and out of reverence, bowed deeply!

At this moment, Dugu Yuqing was also stunned; his expression slightly dazed, as if what had just happened was all a big dream…

He clearly felt his spirit become one with the Sword Intent, soaring through the skies, breaking into the Immortal Domain…

He clearly sensed, the moment the phantom figure appeared, an intense hatred and unwillingness flowing from the depths of his heart…

He understood, all of this was because of the Broken Sword in his hand.

Originating from a generation… Immortal King!

“Is this the reason Teacher wanted me to come here?”

Dugu Yuqing murmured. At this moment, he realized that every arrangement made by his Teacher was so profound!

“Is Teacher trying to let me obtain the sword and Dao of the Wuji Xianwang to avenge them? What is the relationship between Teacher and Wuji Xianwang?”

His heart stirred with endless speculation.

Was his Teacher also an Immortal King?!

He couldn’t help but guess, but there was no answer.

“Damn it, that guy is finally gone; he scared me to death just now…”

Lu Rang patted his chest, looking visibly shaken.

The silhouette that appeared just now exerted an immense pressure on him!

Especially since the grass he had planted seemed to have undergone some sort of aberration.

“What’s happened to my grass, it feels a bit changed… No good, I must hurry back and consult my master.”

He spoke, ever since the ashes fell into the pot, he felt that the grass had undergone some kind of wonderful change…

“I believe, all of this must be within my master’s expectations! These are what he wanted us to obtain…”

Dugu Yuqing said, picking up the scroll in his hand.

The master must have foreseen the presence of an existence beyond immortality here, that is why he had me bring his Dao Map…

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, his expression shook, as he discovered a hazy silhouette had appeared within the Great Sun Taoist Map created by his master!

This silhouette was suspended mid-air, seemingly flying towards the red sun!

“What… What’s going on?”

Dugu Yuqing was shocked.

Upon seeing this, Lu Rang also felt his hair stand on end and said, “This couldn’t be that old codger from before, could it? How did he get inside my master’s painting?!”

Ji Yuanqing stepped forward, took one look, and also exclaimed in disbelief, “This Dao Map… has become a world unto itself, trapping an avatar of the Immortal King within?!”

His expression was one of sheer horror!

This was too inconceivable, wasn’t it?!

An Immortal King represented what kind of existence?!

It was a synonym for invincibility!

Considered the strongest in the Myriad Realms.

Such a figure, with a single thought, could collapse the Myriad Realms, but now, he was confined by a single map…

What kind of formidable power could this map contain?

He was dumbstruck for a long while before he finally snapped back to reality.

“Could the owner of this Dao Map… have a past with Wuji Xianwang or the Immortal King from the First Heavenly Realm?”

He thought to himself.

Clearly, Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing were commanded by their master to come here and inherit the legacies of the two Immortal Kings!

Moreover, he had anticipated the presence of an avatar of the Immortal King in the Immortal Domain, hence bestowing the Dao Map!

“Could it be that the terrifying existence behind them is affiliated with the First Heavenly Realm? At the very least… very friendly towards the First Heavenly Realm!”

Ji Yuanqing’s expression was one of excitement, unable to help himself, he asked while looking at Dugu Yuqing, “May I dare to ask the two young masters if your honored teacher… has a history with the First Heavenly Realm?”

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing’s brow furrowed slightly.

He did not know either!

However, he had realized that Ji Yuanqing seemed to be associated with the First Heavenly Realm and possibly even a guardian of sorts for this Immortal Dao Palace-

Unwilling to disappoint the other, he replied,

“The depths of my master’s insight are unfathomable, and we do not know, but… the reason the new great world is named Heavenly Realm… is precisely due to his edict!”

Dugu Yuqing informed him.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanqing was extremely excited!

“Indeed, indeed!”

“The one behind them is the Lord of the Heavenly Realm, the being from Xuan Tianzhou… He has a past with the First Heavenly Realm!”

“The prophecy of the Immortal King from the First Heavenly Realm stated that the emergence of the Immortal Dao Palace would bring forth one to quell everything, surely pointing to this senior. Now, he is setting his plans in motion…”

He wept with joy, feeling at this moment that the endurance and humiliation borne by thousands of generations of his lineage had finally borne fruit.

“To think that a silhouette has entered the painting… This matter is very peculiar; we must immediately return to Xuan Tianzhou and report to our master!”

Dugu Yuqing continued, stowing away the Broken Sword.

Lu Rang also shouldered the grass and said, “Yes, yes, I also think it’s time to leave; this place is too problematic!”

The group then left the palace.

Upon leaving the palace, they saw that on the steps outside the Dao Palace, hundreds of people from the Heavenly Realm were kneeling on the ground, trembling!

Just now, the Immortal Dao Palace had emitted several auras surpassing immortality, which was too terrifying for them, hence they were still immersed in fright.

“Miss Qing Lan, Miss Xia Yao, you may rise, there is no further trouble here.”

Dugu Yuqing stepped forward and spoke to Qing Lan and Xia Yao.

Upon hearing this, Qing Lan and Xia Yao finally recovered from their daze and stood up.

At this moment, the terrifying and ultimate aura that had emanated from within the palace had slowly dissipated.

In front of the Immortal Dao Palace, the hundreds who knelt on the ground, shaking continuously, gradually calmed down.

“What happened just now?”

“Heavens, what kind of being was that, more terrifying than the Immortals… How is this possible…”

“What kind of beings are involved in this Palace of White Bones… It’s unimaginable…”

The crowd was in a daze, overwhelmed with shock.

The impact they received today was simply too much!

Even outside the barrier, an Immortal-level existence had appeared!

And after entering this place, Yin Soldiers had emerged, guarding the Dao Palace forged from the bones of Immortals.

Within the Dao Palace, even beings above Immortality were involved…

“Did they get the opportunity?”

At this moment, everyone’s gaze also fell upon Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing.

For a time, a burning desire appeared in many eyes!

After all, that was an opportunity related to something beyond Immortality!

If obtained, what kind of future could one have?

“These two are the truly fated ones, and furthermore, they are the disciples of the Lord of the Heavenly Realm!”

At this point, Ji Yuanqing suddenly spoke in a deep voice, “Those who gain the opportunities here today are the successors of the First Heavenly Realm, and must respect the Lord of the Heavenly Realm!”

“He who does not respect will perish untimely!”

Hearing this, everyone on the scene was deeply shocked!
