Extreme Eastern Immortal Realm, Ascension Border
Several dozen-meter-tall Ascension Immortal Gates stood majestically in the clouds of the Immortal Realm, towering and magnificent, their momentum like a rainbow.
This was the boundary between the mortal realm and the Immortal Realm, the first place mortals arrived after ascending.
Similar Ascension Border locations existed in every region of the Immortal Realm.
It was essentially a check-in point for the Immortal Realm.
Once someone from the mortal realm ascended, the Ascension Immortal Gate would automatically open.
Several guards clad in immortal armor sat around the Immortal Gate, chatting and drinking, their laughter echoing.
"Do you know?"
"Hundreds of years ago, the Demon Sovereign, Night Demon Chen, led the Demon Realm army to attack our Immortal Realm. The entire Immortal Realm united to fight, and it sparked a bloody war!"
"The fighting was so intense that it blotted out the sun and moon. In the end, the entire Immortal Realm almost got torn apart by that Demon Sovereign, Night Demon Chen!"
"Dozens of Immortal Emperors joined forces, yet they couldn't defeat that Demon Sovereign!"
"Finally, after demolishing a large portion of the Immortal Realm, that Demon Sovereign led the Demon Realm army and reluctantly retreated!"
"That was the third War Between Immortals and Demons in history, and it was also the most devastating one for the Immortal Realm!"
"Your old pal here, I was fortunate enough to witness that War Between Immortals and Demons and even survived!"
A somewhat plump guard captain was vividly recounting the unprecedented War Between Immortals and Demons from over a hundred years ago to the other guards.
The other guards listened with rapt attention, thoroughly enjoying the story.
It had been so long since any turmoil had occurred in the Immortal Realm; things were incredibly peaceful.
Their job of guarding the gate was not only meaningless but also incredibly boring!
"So... what happened to the Demon Sovereign in the end?"
"Why haven't we heard anything about the Demon Sovereign lately?"
"Did he die?"
One of the guards raised his hand, asking curiously.
The other guards shared the same questions, all waiting for the fat guard to answer.
The fat guard puffed out his belly, speaking proudly:
"It is said that the Demon Sovereign fought against dozens of Immortal Emperors from our Immortal Realm and then returned to the Demon Realm. Not long after, he disappeared without a trace!"
"Some speculate that he was severely wounded and unfortunately perished!"
"The Demon Realm is deliberately suppressing the news and dares not reveal it. That's why there hasn't been any news of that Demon Sovereign since."
"I see!"
"Then it seems our Immortal Realm is still superior!"
"Indeed!"
"How can our Immortal Realm be compared to those lowly Demon Realm fellows? Hahaha!"
The crowd, after a moment of boasting, proudly burst into laughter, looking up at the sky.
"Right, you haven't said what the Demon Sovereign looks like yet?"
After the laughter subsided, another person curiously asked.
The fat guard was about to answer when the Ascension Border suddenly activated, producing extremely violent fluctuations!
"What, what's going on...?"
"Why is the Immortal Gate reacting so violently?"
"I don't know, I've never seen anything like this before..."
All the guards were dumbfounded, quickly standing up to go and check.
They had never seen the Immortal Realm so violently shaken!
It was as if… someone was forcibly breaking through the Immortal Realm to ascend!
Who dared to be so bold!
To brazenly force their way into the Immortal Realm!
All the guards stood ready, their spears aimed at the Immortal Realm.
Moments later, the Immortal Realm overloaded, and a blinding light erupted, kicking up a violent cloud of mist. A figure leaped through the mist and slowly stepped out from the shattered entrance.
The guards were seeing someone shatter the Immortal Realm for the first time, and they were all shocked, their mouths agape.
Upon seeing the figure appear, they immediately raised their spears and surrounded him.
The leading fat guard captain shouted angrily:
"Who is it! Daring to intrude into the Immortal Realm and damage the Immortal Gate!"
The clouds and mist dissipated, and Ning Ye Chen's figure appeared in everyone's sight.
Ning Ye Chen looked around, then lazily stretched his waist.
It had been too long since he'd been in the Immortal Realm to move around. He almost couldn't find the way.
After more than a hundred years, the Immortal Realm was still the same as before, with no changes...
Even the things he had destroyed before had been repaired.
How nice~
"Sir Guard Captain, should we go up and take him down!"
The group of guards stared at Ning Ye Chen with hostility, slowly closing in.
The fat guard captain, however, stood frozen in place, his entire body trembling uncontrollably. His expression was filled with terror, as if he had seen a ghost!
It was him!
That man!
He wasn't dead!
He's back!
The guards beside him noticed the fat guard's strange expression and leaned in to ask in a low voice:
"Sir, what's wrong?"
"Everyone is waiting for your orders."
"Should we take him down?"
"Ta…"
The fat captain of the guards stammered, his words catching in his throat. Before he could even finish, a guard beside him nodded understandingly and immediately signaled the others to advance.
"The captain commands, seize him!"
A group of guards immediately charged forward with their spears.
Ning Ye Chen coldly glanced at the guards. With a wave of his sleeve, Black Flame surged forth, and before the guards could even utter a sound, they were reduced to ashes!
Although he didn't particularly enjoy fighting anymore, he wouldn't hesitate against those who provoked him.
He wouldn't show any mercy to a single one of them!
Huh? (⊙ˍ⊙)!
The guard who'd given the order was instantly stunned.
Only he and the fat guard captain remained.
The fat guard captain then spoke, finishing the sentence he hadn't completed.
"Get... get you a big-headed ghost!"
"He, he, he is that Demon Sovereign...!"
Ah...?!
The guard's legs immediately went weak with fear, and he collapsed to the ground.
Ning Ye Chen was surprised. After more than a hundred years, someone still recognized him.
"You know me?"
"Your, your great name has long been spread throughout the Immortal Realm. This, this insignificant one was fortunate enough to see you once over a hundred years ago..."
Seeing Ning Ye Chen approaching, the fat guard captain was terrified. He knelt down on both knees and answered tremblingly.
Ning Ye Chen nodded, revealing a kind smile, and asked, "I haven't been to the Immortal Realm for a long time. Where is the Heavenly Dao Imperial Palace?"
"O-over there, in that direction..."
The fat guard captain tremblingly raised his hand, pointing in a certain direction.
He didn't dare to conceal anything.
In his eyes, the smile on Ning Ye Chen's face was like the Grim Reaper beckoning to him!
He only hoped that when he died, it would be like the other guards, without any pain...
"Thank you."
Ning Ye Chen thanked the fat guard captain and once again transformed into a jet-black divine rainbow, speeding towards the Heavenly Dao Imperial Palace!
Watching Ning Ye Chen disappear into the distance, the fat guard captain and the other guard immediately collapsed to the ground, directly fainting...
Heavenly Dao Imperial Palace
The Jade Radiance Immortal Palace stood majestically at the peak of the Immortal Realm. Golden, resplendent halls reflected each other, casting a brilliant light that created a grand and imposing scene!
This was the Heavenly Dao Imperial Palace, one of the nine peak powers of the Immortal Realm!
Ning Ye Chen arrived above the Heavenly Dao Imperial Palace in the blink of an eye. He then shouted towards the vast and boundless Heavenly Dao Imperial Palace:
"Old geezer! You shouldn't be dead yet!"
"If you're not dead, then get out here and see me!"
His words, accompanied by a wave of demonic sound, swept across the entire Heavenly Dao Imperial Palace. Everyone within the palace felt their minds and souls about to explode. They clutched their ears in agony and collapsed to the ground.
Those with weaker cultivation bases even bled from their seven orifices and immediately fainted!
The sudden change startled everyone in the Heavenly Dao Imperial Palace.
Someone dared to be disrespectful to the Heavenly Dao Imperial Palace in the Immortal Realm?!
"What youngling dares to intrude upon the Heavenly Dao Imperial Palace! And to be so rude to the people of my Imperial Palace!"
