290 – Killing Until Noone Dares to Claim They Are Immortal

【Not only did you see this immortal, but others also saw it. They were all somewhat astonished and fearful, not expecting such a guardian to exist in the Immortal Domain. Instantly, everyone became wary, unsure if this immortal was friend or foe.】

【As you were wary, this immortal also opened its eyes, sweeping its somewhat ancient and numb gaze over you all, finally resting its eyes on you, uttering the words: ‘The path is blocked.’】

【These words made everyone’s hearts tense up even more. You too became more serious, inquiring of this immortal in front of you why the path was blocked, and why it prevented them from going to the Immortal Domain.】

【This immortal stared at you, revealing a terrifying truth without concealment. The truth was, the Immortal Domain has been destroyed, and going there would only lead to death.】

【These words shook your hearts; you had never imagined such a situation. That was the Immortal Domain! To think it was destroyed was too outrageous.】

【However, after being shocked, you quickly calmed down. You had long anticipated there would be trouble in the Immortal Domain, but did not expect it to be this severe.】

【Soon, you remembered the contradiction in this immortals’ words. You couldn’t help but take a step forward and ask in a deep voice, ‘If the Immortal Domain is destroyed, why say that going there means death?’】

【The immortals’ expression remained unchanged, its eyes still cold. It spoke indifferently of the Immortal Domain being shattered by some terrifying existence, which is why it was destroyed. As for why it said going to the Immortal Domain means death, it’s because the Immortal Domain is no longer suitable for ‘immortals’ to survive. In the Immortal Domain, no one dares to claim immortality, and anyone who does will suffer a terrible curse. Not only that, the shattered Immortal Domain has been occupied by the Demon Domain.】

【Upon hearing this, your heart quivered. You did not expect the situation in the Immortal Domain to be worse than you imagined. Under such circumstances, indeed, going to the Immortal Domain would mean certain death.】

【Not only you, but the others were also looking at each other in dismay, not expecting that the Immortal Domain they longed for had turned into such a hellish state. In this case, it indeed seemed unwise to go to the Immortal Domain.】

【After a moment of silence, you asked this immortal if it had come to guard this place just to preserve a spark of hope.】

【The immortal remained silent, implying that since the Immortal Domain was destroyed, someone had to do something. However, it didn’t know how many more years it could guard this place. After all, although the Source of Darkness in the Lower Realm hadn’t stirred for a long time, it didn’t mean it wouldn’t erupt in the future.】

【Upon hearing this, you felt deep admiration for this immortal and asked another question: who was the one who destroyed the Immortal Domain? Could it be the Source of Darkness in the Immortal Domain?】

【The ‘immortal,’ upon hearing your words, revealed a look of fear, saying that the existence that destroyed the Immortal Domain was not the Source of Darkness in the Immortal Domain, but a human. He killed so many in the Immortal Domain that no one dared to claim immortality or become immortal. This is the reason why no one dares to claim immortality or become immortal.】

【These words shook your heart. What kind of monster could have done such a horrifying thing, killing so many that no one dared to claim immortality or become immortal, and eventually even destroying the Immortal Domain?】

【After your shock, you curiously asked what that person’s dao name was, or what their name was, and why they wanted to destroy the Immortal Domain.】

【The immortal fell silent again, displaying a look of fear, and repeatedly said, ‘Cannot speak, cannot speak.’】

【Seeing the reaction of this ‘immortal,’ you sighed internally. The immortal before you, with a cultivation level at least at the Mystic Immortal level or even at the quasi-immortal king level, was so utterly terrified. Just recalling events related to that person revealed an expression of extreme fear; this was unbelievably absurd. One could only imagine what terrifying things it had seen.】

【Following this, you were left pondering whether or not to go to the Immortal Domain.】

‘This truth is truly lamentable.’

Wang Ping sighed in his heart.

The Immortal Domain was destroyed and ruled by the Demon Domain, with no one daring to claim immortality or become immortal.

Just thinking about it, one can understand how dangerous the Immortal Domain is.

But who on earth was the person who destroyed the Immortal Domain, and why did they destroy it?

‘Alpha, do you know about the destruction of the Immortal Domain?’

After thinking for a moment, Wang Ping began to contact Alpha.

Although Alpha was already half-crippled, the existence of the first-generation chat group had lasted for more than 120 million years.

Therefore, there was still a possibility that Alpha knew the truth.

‘Yes.’

Alpha’s voice sounded, giving Wang Ping a definite answer.

‘Uh, you really know? What is the reason for the destruction of the Immortal Domain? Who is behind this?’

Wang Ping asked curiously.

‘The one from the first-generation chat group.’

After a moment of silence, Alpha gave Wang Ping an astonishing answer.

‘Pfft, the one from the first-generation chat group… Could it be the same predecessor who dismantled you?’

Wang Ping’s face was full of astonishment, as he spoke in disbelief.

“It’s really him.”

Alpha was silent for a moment before reaffirming.

“Holy crap…”

Wang Ping was shocked, never expecting it to be the work of his transmigrator predecessor.

This battle record is truly formidable.

Demolishing Alpha, and destroying the Immortal Domain… it’s truly ruthless.

One must know, this was something that happened over a hundred million years ago.

Over a hundred million years ago, he could already achieve such feats.

Doesn’t that mean that his unbelievably powerful transmigrator predecessor was already a four-digit entity more than a hundred million years ago? And it couldn’t have been just an entry-level four-digit entity, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to accomplish such things.

To kill until no one in the world dared to call themselves an immortal, and to destroy the Immortal Domain; it must take power at least a whole level above an Immortal King to achieve this.

As if guessing Wang Ping’s doubts, Alpha didn’t keep him in suspense and began to explain directly.

“One hundred and twenty million years ago, due to his extremely ruthless methods, he offended all the powerful forces in the Immortal Domain. Additionally, because of his excessive strength, he made everyone feel uneasy. As a result, all the Immortal King lineages in the Immortal Domain chose to join forces against him.”

“That battle, which shocked the heavens and the earth, saw him single-handedly kill all the Immortal Kings in the Immortal Domain and annihilate the lineages of all the Immortal Kings and quasi-Immortal Kings. Then, he calmly said, ‘In this world, besides me, who dares to call themselves an immortal? Who is worthy of being called an immortal?’ It was these words that made all the immortals fall silent in fear and never dare to call themselves immortals again, even changing the names of their cultivation systems.”

“It can be said that after that battle, there were no more immortals in the Immortal Domain, and the Dao hearts of all immortals were shattered.”

“It was also because of that battle that too many strong ones fell, causing a blood rain to fall in the entire Immortal Domain, which was a mourning from the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Domain. From then on, the Immortal Domain began its great decline.”

At the end of her explanation, Alpha’s tone was quite unsettled, as if reminiscing about that era.

Back then, the feats accomplished by that individual also left her in fear.

It was after that incident that she became extremely wary of him and wanted to completely control him.

However, before she could take any action, she was caught by him, and he dismantled her, seizing most of her Destiny Imprint, the world’s origin accumulated by the first-generation chat group, and a certain item.

“All the Immortal Kings, dead…”

Wang Ping gasped in astonishment.

He truly hadn’t expected that all the Immortal Kings had been killed.

So, the Xiaoling Immortal King had also fallen?

If so, then the timeline for when the Xiaoling Immortal Tower and the sealed demon immortal descended to the Lower Realm must be at least one hundred and twenty million years ago.

“Indeed, they were all killed. Back then, he showed no mercy. Moreover, his style has always been to eliminate the root cause; not only the Immortal Kings themselves, but anyone related to them would have their bones crushed and their ashes scattered.”

Alpha’s icy voice resounded, with a hint of admiration for that individual, but also faint resentment.

“By the way, Leng Yue’s style is also inherited from him, because Leng Yue is his eternal stan.”

After a pause, Alpha revealed another piece of information.

“Good heavens, that’s too ruthless.”

Wang Ping clicked his tongue.

Compared to his predecessor, he really was too ‘kind-hearted.’

However, Leng Yue turned out to be his little fan? And even mimicked his style? That’s interesting.

“Alpha, why did he choose to destroy the Immortal Domain? What benefits did he gain from it?”

After thinking about it, Wang Ping recalled the destruction of the Immortal Domain and asked curiously again.

“The reason for destroying the Immortal Domain wasn’t to refine and breakthrough realms; it was simply a response to a threat, shattering the Immortal Domain into several smaller ones instead.”

Alpha was silent for a moment before vaguely explaining.

Hearing this, Wang Ping raised an eyebrow, suspecting that the reason was not that simple.

Perhaps it had something to do with the Source of Darkness.

Otherwise, after the Immortal Domain was shattered, it wouldn’t fall under the rule of the Demon Domain.

Of course, this was just Wang Ping’s personal speculation. As for the truth, Alpha wasn’t willing to disclose it, so he could only slowly explore it.

After all, with the Life Simulator, uncovering the truth was just a matter of time.

“However, speaking of which, if the timeline is 120 million years ago, it seems quite close to when the first-generation chat group was destroyed…”

Wang Ping had an odd expression.

“Because I was dismantled after that. I don’t want to elaborate on the specifics.”

Alpha’s voice was cold.

“…”

Wang Ping’s expression grew even odder, realizing that the events in the Immortal Domain back then must have greatly impacted Alpha, triggering a series of reactions.

“120 million years have passed… I wonder what level that predecessor has reached…”

Wang Ping gathered his thoughts, feeling quite curious about that transmigrator predecessor’s strength.

With his methods and growth speed, he could very well have become one of the top figures over the years…

A triple-digit level… In the multiverse, that makes one a top-tier figure.

After all, there are only thirty-six double-digit figures.

Below the double digits, the top are the triple digits.

“I’ve told you, don’t dig too deep into his matters, or it might bring disaster to you.”

Alpha warned.

“You’re just scared of him… Actually, there’s no need to be so afraid. With his methods, he likely already knows about our discussions. Furthermore, if he wanted to destroy you or me, it would only take a thought. If something were meant to happen, it would’ve happened already.”

Wang Ping shook his head, speaking honestly.

Hearing this, Alpha fell silent, lost for words.

Following that, Wang Ping didn’t say much either, nor did he inquire further about the Demon Domain’s rule over the Immortal Domain. Instead, he continued to focus on the screen.

Of course, while staring at the screen, Wang Ping also infused his own consciousness into the simulated Wang Ping.

After all, knowing the situation of the Immortal Domain, the simulated Wang Ping might back down.

This was obviously not acceptable.

Wang Ping wanted to explore the Immortal Domain’s situation, so naturally, the simulated Wang Ping had to go to the Immortal Domain.

As Wang Ping continued to stare at the screen, words slowly emerged again.

【Next, you calmed your mind and expressed your hope that the predecessor would let you pass and that you wanted to go to the Immortal Domain.】

【Seeing how determined you were to go to the Immortal Domain, the ‘immortal’ before you furrowed his brows deeply and remained silent for a long time. Then, he glanced at you and the others before finally giving an answer.】

【He said that if you wanted to die, he wouldn’t stop you. However, the others couldn’t go, as they would be instantly corrupted by the Dark Aura and completely fall. The current Immortal Domain was survivable only by those with immortal combat strength.】

【Hearing this, you breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a bit helpless. Emperor Tianyu and the others, hearing this, exchanged glances and finally could only smile bitterly. To go to the Immortal Domain one had to become immortal… which was practically despairing. After all, who except you could become immortal in the Lower Realm?】

【For a moment, many felt disheartened. Yet, led by Emperor Tianyu, they forcibly steadied themselves, expressing that you didn’t need to worry about them and should go to the Immortal Domain yourself. As for them, staying and cultivating in the Lower Realm might not be a bad thing.】

【Hearing this, you were a bit helpless but couldn’t say much. In the end, you took out the Immortal Artifact obtained from the transmigrator predecessor Leng Yue, as well as numerous cultivation resources seized from the Dark Emperor and the dark quasi-immortal, handing them over to Emperor Tianyu.】

With these resources, Taiyi Emperor Palace will be incredibly prosperous, and no one will dare provoke it…

Next, after bidding farewell to Emperor Tianyu and others, you set off alone for the Immortal Domain…

Just as you were about to step into the Immortal Domain portal, the immortal called out to you, soberly warning that in those small Immortal Domains, you must not claim to be an immortal; otherwise, grave calamities might befall you…

Acknowledging this, you nodded, showing that you would remember his words, then resolutely stepped into the Immortal Domain portal, heading toward the Immortal Domain…

After you entered the Immortal Domain, the immortal casually waved his hand, sending Emperor Tianyu and the others back to the Upper Realm. Then, he closed his eyes once more, appearing as an eternal sculpture…

After an uneventful ascension, you arrived at one of the small Immortal Domains, which had been reconsolidated from fragments of the Immortal Domain. As soon as you arrived in this small Immortal Domain, you sensed an unusual atmosphere…

Clearly, it was a small Immortal Domain, yet it lacked any immortal aura and was instead filled with demonic energy. This demonic energy was extremely potent; even though you had become an immortal, you could not absorb it recklessly, lest you suffer adverse effects…

Caught in the gravity of this small Immortal Domain’s environment, a wolf-like creature the size of a mountain appeared, its scarlet eyes fixed unwaveringly on you…

This caused you to narrow your eyes, sensing the creature’s strength. You then discerned that the strength of this wolf-like creature was at the true immortal level. Although such a level was immensely powerful in the Lower Realm, it was hardly a threat to you now…

As you made this assessment, the wolf-like creature turned into a black shadow and lunged at you…

In response, you snorted coldly, not using any immortal power or techniques, but relying merely on your physical strength to obliterate it completely, causing its Absolute Death…

After killing the wolf-like creature, you glanced lightly towards your right front, indicating for the lurking observer to come out…

No sooner had your words fallen when a man dressed in black animal skin emerged from the void, commending your strength. He then sighed, remarking how surprising it was that after all these years, a cultivator from the Lower Realm had ascended to the Immortal Domain once more…

Hearing his words, you narrowed your eyes, aware that he must be an ancient powerhouse from the Immortal Domain, and you raised your guard…

Seemingly sensing your wariness, the man in animal skins chuckled, stating there was no need to guard against him. In these small Immortal Domains, the cultivators of all major races are allies; only in this way can they resist the invasion of the Demon Domain. Otherwise, they all would perish…

Therefore, he assured you he meant no harm, and that a prodigiously talented ascender like yourself was highly valued by the Holy Alliance. He invited you to follow him to the Eternal Holy City in this small Immortal Domain. However, you must remember you are not an immortal but a cultivator at the Eternal Realm. The term immortal is a taboo word in the small Immortal Domains…

Hearing this, your eyes flickered with numerous thoughts. Clearly, after the invasion of the Demon Domain, the remaining cultivators in the Immortal Domain formed this Holy Alliance to resist the Demon Domain and for their survival…

This information was beneficial to you, as it meant there were still many living beings in the small Immortal Domains, and there was still a safe haven, instead of it all being demonic territory. This way, the pressure on you to survive was greatly alleviated, and you could grow stronger in safety…

Thinking of this, you accepted the animal-skin man’s proposal, intending to head to the Eternal Holy City with him…

Happy with your agreement, the animal-skin man led the way, explaining the current state of the Immortal Domain…

After the Immortal Domain was shattered, vast regions were destroyed, and the remaining areas formed four small Immortal Domains, known as the Heavenly Immortal Domain, Earthly Immortal Domain, Mystic Immortal Domain, and Yellow Immortal Domain. Their small Immortal Domain was the Mystic Immortal Domain, ranking third among the four. As for the Eternal Holy City, it was the central place of the Mystic Immortal Domain, gathering the strongest cultivators and being the frontline against the Demon Domain…

Nowadays, the levels in the Immortal Domain are divided into the Eternal Realm, Profound Eternal Realm, and King of Eternity, corresponding to the previous three major levels…

Hearing this, you couldn’t help but shake your head in admiration, marveling at how ruthless the leader of the First-Generation Transmigrator Chat Group had been. Even after all these years, their foes still feared to use the term immortal and opted to change the names of the levels instead. Perhaps, there were also some changes in the cultivation system…

You then became curious about what reaction the cultivators in the four small Immortal Domains would have upon learning that you were the descendant of the one who slaughtered all the Immortal Kings and shattered the Immortal Domain. Would they eliminate you on the spot, be terrified of you, or choose to ingratiate themselves with you…

Of course, this was merely a passing thought; you had no immediate intention of testing it…

“Well, this simulated Wang Ping sure knows how to stir things up. But it’s definitely worth a try…”

Wang Ping’s expression turned peculiar as he viewed the simulated content…

As Wang Ping mused, the text simulation continued…

Just as you were deep in thought, the man in animal skins suddenly revealed a sinister smile and launched a sneak attack on you…

Prepared for this, you sneered coldly and retaliated without hesitation. After all, you were no longer a naive youngster; naturally, you wouldn’t believe everything someone said. You had trusted less than half of his previous words…

As you clashed with him, the man in animal skins was sent flying, his body nearly exploding, blood spurting everywhere as he spat mouthfuls of blood, displaying a look of disbelief…

After all, he was at the late stage of the True Demon level, equivalent to the late stage of the True Immortal level, while you were merely a newly ascended one. Having the upper hand in cultivation, he couldn’t believe he was wounded by your counterattack, which defied logic…

Realizing he had encountered a formidable opponent, the man in animal skins chose to flee without hesitation. Naturally, you wouldn’t let him escape, unleashing your full power to pursue and suppress him on the spot…

Seeing your explosive strength, the demon’s face turned to horror, finally understanding why you were so powerful. The legendary Chaos Body had reappeared and even reached the Great Success Domain. Such a physical advantage indeed gave you the capital to fight across levels…

Though at the True Immortal level, the disparity between each small realm was immense, the immense advantage brought by the Complete Chaos Body was enough to let one cross two small realms in battle…

However, the man in the beast clothes quickly sneered again, indicating that although you are quite the monster, the current Immortal Domain is already ruled by his demon clan. All the living beings in the Immortal Domain have become their slaves and food. Even the powerful cultivators who survive in the Immortal Domain dare not show themselves and only hide one by one. For this reason, no matter how chaotic your body is, you will eventually be suppressed by the strong of their demon clan and become food.

You snorted coldly, not wanting to waste words with this man in beast clothes, and directly killed him, then tried to use the Essence Devouring Pearl to refine his soul. However, as a powerhouse at the late stage of the True Demon Realm, it was obviously impossible for you to easily refine his soul. The Essence Devouring Pearl is merely an Immortal Artifact, and wanting to refine a soul of such a level of cultivator is undoubtedly very difficult.

For this reason, you ultimately could not refine his soul to obtain useful information. This made you very unhappy and also filled your heart with heavy concern.

Next, you had no thought of staying here any longer and quickly fled, wanting to find a safe place to hide. Once it’s safe enough, you will try to gather some intelligence.

However, things often do not go as planned. The moment you unleashed your power and killed the man in beast clothes, it clearly attracted the attention of many demons.

For this reason, some powerful demons began to search for your whereabouts, wishing to find and suppress or kill you.

Among these powerful demons were ancient monsters of the Dark Immortal Realm, who were comparable to Mystic Immortal Realm experts. Facing the pursuit of such beings, it’s difficult for you to escape.

In the end, you were still caught. Facing the ancient monsters of the Dark Immortal Realm, you were no match. Therefore, when you were about to be killed, you took out a five-digit special tool, the Cursed Doll, intending to curse him to death.

Although you know very well that even if you use the Cursed Doll to curse the ancient monster of the Dark Immortal Realm to death, it will be difficult for you to survive. Killing an ancient monster of the Dark Immortal Realm will only attract even more powerful ancient monsters. By then, you will still be unable to escape a tragic end.

For this, you sighed in your heart. The Immortal Domain has truly become too dangerous, leaving no way for its inhabitants to survive.

Just as you were about to use the Cursed Doll, sighing in your heart, a woman suddenly appeared in front of you. With one finger, she killed the ancient monster of the Dark Immortal Realm, then took you away from there.

During this process, you had no room for resistance. Obviously, this woman was unimaginably powerful.

When you came back to your senses, you found yourself in a Small Universe, which made you slightly stunned, realizing that someone had saved you.

Then, you saw the woman’s appearance clearly. She was perfectly beautiful, with an impressive figure, prettier than any woman you had ever seen. Even Liu Mei, who had used the Golden Finger to adjust her appearance to the highest level, couldn’t compare.

For a moment, you were somewhat dazed looking at this perfect woman. While you were in a daze, the woman spoke. Her voice was cold but carried a hint of gentleness.

She looked at you and said that Lu Daoxian had warned you not to come to the Immortal Domain, but unfortunately, you didn’t listen. If she had arrived a little later, you would have fallen.

Hearing these words from the perfect woman, you were quite surprised. Lu Daoxian? Isn’t he the one ranked second on the stele of the Xiaoling Immortal Tower? Unexpectedly, she mentioned his name.

Then, you recalled the immortal at the Immortal Domain passage and had some guesses. Without a surprise, the immortal guarding the passage was Lu Daoxian. He also experienced those events in the Immortal Domain and later chose to guard the passage for the safety of the Upper Realm. Who knows how many years have passed since then.

For a moment, you felt a sense of admiration for this senior, Lu Daoxian.

However, you quickly recovered and seriously told the perfect woman that since you have become immortal, there is no reason to hide in the lower realms of the Immortal Domain. You wish to become an Immortal King and even surpass that rank.

There was a wave in the perfect woman’s eyes, surprised at the magnitude of your ambition. Then, the woman silently spoke a sentence that left you speechless.

She said that you are a being from the multiverse, so you can completely go to the Allheavens Playground to become stronger quickly instead of risking your life in the Immortal Domain.

You have no way to respond to this. After all, you’re just a simulated Wang Ping, not the real Wang Ping, and cannot enter the Allheavens Playground. You can only go to the Immortal Domain to try to advance further.

The perfect woman seemed to see your unspeakable problem and did not continue this topic but introduced herself. Her name was Chu Lingyin, the daughter of the Xiaoling Immortal King.

Hearing the perfect woman’s self-introduction, you were shocked, not expecting that she was the daughter of the Xiaoling Immortal King.

However, you quickly thought that since she was the daughter of the Xiaoling Immortal King, it was no wonder she had an old connection with Lu Daoxian. Perhaps because of this, she had some connection to the Upper Realm as well.

Next, you also introduced yourself and then asked Chu Lingyin about the current situation in the Immortal Domain.

Chu Lingyin calmly stated that all the Immortal King’s lineages of the Immortal Domain were destroyed, and all Immortal Kings fell. Ninety percent of the quasi-Immortal Kings also fell. The top combat power was wiped out.

Later, the Immortal Domain was shattered again, killing another group of strong people. At that time, the Immortal Domain didn’t even have ten quasi-Immortal Kings left, and the Mystic Immortals were top masters, marking the most declining period of the Immortal Domain.

What’s more deadly is that the Demon Domain, always at odds with the Immortal Domain, found out that the terrifying presence had left the Immortal Domain, and then launched an invasion on the Immortal Domain. Of course, it was said that the Demon Domain invaded, but in reality, it was just a Demon King clan from the Demon Domain that launched the invasion.

However, given the dire condition of the Immortal Domain at that time, even just a Demon King clan’s invasion was too much for the Immortal Domain to resist.

As a result, a Demon King clan called the Fire Demon Clan easily ruled four small Immortal Domains, making them its territory. During this process, four more quasi-Immortal Kings fell in the war.

In other words, among the Immortal Domain cultivators at that time, there were only five quasi-Immortal Kings left. Therefore, the Immortal beings, led by these five quasi-Immortal Kings, could only try their best to hide and avoid being found by the demons, or they would all die.

Hearing Chu Lingyin’s words, you sighed in your heart. The situation of the Immortal Domain beings is indeed even worse than you imagined.

Next, you calmed your mind and asked Chu Lingyin out of curiosity if her cultivation had reached the quasi-Immortal King level as well.
