I Am the Fated Villain - Chapter 872: This is a catastrophe, panic in the immortal domain

He wouldn’t have believed it if Moon King hadn’t witnessed it himself. Could this be the exact figure that instilled fear across the Immortal Domain and the Foreign Lands?

Connecting the taboo existence that caused people’s eyes to pale with the easy-going and handsome young man before him was challenging.

The character who once struck terror into the hearts of many now appeared no different from noble sons who freely engaged in conversation. Although Gu Changge had not embarrassed him in the past few days and hadn’t threatened to devour her as rations or nourishment, the deep-rooted fear within Moon King prevented him from making any overstepping remarks or actions. He cautiously stood around, occasionally boiling tea.

Despite the recent ease in Gu Changge’s demeanor, Moon King’s apprehension persisted, and he dared not cross any boundaries. His fear of him ran deep in her soul.

As Moon King observed from a distance, his emotions were complex and tinged with a hint of something different.

…

That taboo existence has returned to the Immortal Domain. This decree doesn’t originate from Moon King; it’s his intent.

He’s summoning all the immortal kings in the Immortal Domain for homage.

Simultaneously, in Luo Wang City, King Luo’s announcement brought about an eerie silence throughout the Immortal City. The cultivators were left stunned, struggling to believe their ears.

Luo Xuan, Wang Wushang, and others, who had suspected such an event for a while, gasped in astonishment. Although they had held onto a glimmer of hope that such a thing might not occur due to other reasons, confirmation from an immortal king left them trembling with terror.

The taboo existence returned to the Immortal Domain again?

In the Purple Bamboo Forest, the voice of an ancient true immortal quivered, saturated with fear and disbelief.

At this moment, the gaze of many shifted, filled with dread, struggling to accept the reality before them.

Although they hadn’t experienced the Forbidden Era firsthand, the ancient books recounted the horrifying deeds of that taboo existence. The Immortal Palace itself had crumbled at his hands.

The immortal domain and the original world disintegrated with a sweep of his hand, traversing the three thousand states without opposition.

The return of such a terrifying figure to the Immortal Domain sparked fears of a repeated world-shattering event.

It’s a catastrophe. With such a character returning in this era, is there anyone capable of stopping him?

An ancient figure trembled, eyes reflecting sorrow as if glimpsing a foreboding future.

The immortal domain shattered into countless fragments and faced a terrible challenge in reconstruction. Everything exploded into ashes, consumed by the relentless flow of time.

All cultivators shared the fate of the immortal domain, eradicated from existence. What could it be if this wasn’t a catastrophe for the world’s inhabitants?

Even the Immortal Kings were mere nourishment in the mouth of that taboo existence. Once standing at the pinnacle, their unimaginable cultivation now seemed insignificant when confronted by the returning force.

The immortal kings in the depths of the void fell into a heavy silence, their moods showing restless. The immortal king who had questioned Bai Chuan earlier remained silent and  a chaotic mist veiled his expression, but the turmoil within was evident.

The prison-like power of the Immortal King permeated the surroundings, causing the billions of stars in the sky to ripple like waves on the verge of collision and explosion.

Bai Chuan, surprised that Luo Wang appeared to be aware of this situation in advance, narrowed his eyes. However, his primary goal was to deliver the decree and prevent Moon King from facing a life-threatening crisis. The plan for rescuing Moon King would be his next consideration.

“Everyone, this concludes our discussion. Please forgive me for not being able to stay longer; I must inform the rest of the immortal domains about this matter,” Bai Chuan said, cupping his hands. His stern face betrayed little emotion as he prepared to depart.

Bai Chuan swiftly rode away on the heavenly horse, crossing the universe in the blink of an eye, urgently heading toward the direction of the other immortal domains.

The onlookers in Luo Wang City were left speechless as Quasi-Immortal King Bai Chuan disappeared, plunging the city into panic and unease.

Even with several immortal kings present, an aura of tension persisted. A looming fear, as if facing imminent doom, unsettled the ancient true immortals of various races. Despite being considered powerhouses, they couldn’t shake off their restlessness.

King Luo himself materialized in the depths of the void. Crushing Ming Yi’s and others’ orders, he murmured, “Perhaps King Ming is right. This time, the Immortal Domain and the Foreign Realm must unite. Otherwise, none will be spared.”

With a wave of his sleeves, he vanished into his mansion to inform the other immortal kings about the decree.

“Did Duke Ming sense the arrival of this person in the Immortal Domain?” queried Immortal King Tai Wang, a boyish-looking figure.

Upon hearing this, his eyes deepened, and he remarked, “If that’s the case, we might not stand a chance.”

The other immortal kings fell silent, their eyes revealing diverse visions, and their emotions fluctuated significantly. None wished to become nourishment for such an entity, especially not the Immortal Kings, who, like ordinary creatures, harbored fear and disturbance.

“King Ming has gone to consult the ancestral figures of the imperial clan, discussing this matter and sending word for us to prepare,” revealed King Luo in a hushed tone. “This time, we face a common enemy. Regardless, we cannot wait for our demise. Regarding the matter in half a month, let’s suspend it for now and observe the reactions of the other immortal domains.”

“In any case, the Central Immortal Domain is the largest, covering the widest range in the universe, and boasts the highest number of surface Immortal Kings. Additionally, there are numerous artifacts and caves from the innate era before the Taboo Era within my Immortal Domain. It might be possible to find some innate items and the presence of those secluded families.”

“As far as I know, the Gu family has been residing in the Nine Heavens in seclusion, with a profound heritage dating back to before the taboo era. This family may harbor the existence of an emperor.”

When Luo Wang spoke of the existence of an emperor, he referred not to an ordinary Immortal King but to an immortal emperor, a quasi-immortal emperor at the very least.

Comparable to the ancestor of the imperial clan in a foreign land, this being’s cultivation base was inscrutable. To him, an immortal king was no different from an ant, albeit slightly more significant.

“Brother Luo is correct. Despite the darkness and historical gaps after the Forbidden Era, some forces managed to hide in restricted areas, eluding detection by outsiders. Moreover, the ancient existences surviving the taboo era have vanished. This could be a method to draw them out,” added the Immortal King of the Wang family, his eyes exuding a terrifying immortal light.

He spoke slowly, contemplating various countermeasures. No one desired to be at the mercy of others, akin to a fish on the chopping board, destined to become someone else’s nourishment.

“What concerns me the most is the possibility of the rest of the real world learning about this matter. The boundless battlefield hasn’t seen peace. The once-destroyed Underworld Realm is showing signs of resurgence. Recently, Luo Xuan, a descendant of my family, reported encountering a young man named Chen who seemed to wield the divine power of the Underworld Realm,” revealed Luo Wang, his gaze deep and his tone calm, yet a hint of coldness lingered.

He looked at the Immortal King ancestor of the Wang family and continued, “Brother Wang, I deduced the young man named Chen but obtained only a vague sense of nothingness. He was saved by a descendant of your family, Wang Ziji. If he’s connected to the Underworld Realm, the cause and effect cannot be severed from your Wang family.”

The Immortal King of the Wang family frowned upon hearing this, recalling that Wang Wushang, a descendant of the family, had mentioned the matter. Initially dismissing it as insignificant, he now grew wary.

Although dealing with a young man wasn’t daunting for an immortal king, King Luo’s words raised concerns. If it genuinely involved the Underworld Realm, caution was warranted to avoid entanglement in its cause and effect.

In ancient times, the Underworld Realm stood as a powerful entity, ranking extremely high among the heavens and earning the title of No. 1 Realm.

The demise of the Underworld Realm was linked to the Mountain and Sea World. They had reached their current status by inheriting the legacy of the Underworld Realm, notably the formidable Underworld clan.

The divine powers of the Underworld Clan were ghost-defying, capable of reverse reincarnation and duplicating the underworld, reproducing characters or things that had once manifested.

The Immortal King of the Wang family, aware of the potential threat, spoke with a cold tone, expressing concern over the Underworld Clan’s waiting to return and the possible consequences.

“I’ll instruct Wushang to keep a close eye on that boy,” he decided, acknowledging the uncertainty surrounding the Underworld Clan’s lingering capabilities.

If they seize an opportunity, we could all face annihilation.

In the Purple Bamboo Forest, Wang Wushang, upon receiving the sound transmission, initially felt shocked, then adopted a serious expression. He relayed the message to Luo Xuan, emphasizing that even the Immortal King’s ancestors had taken notice of the peculiarities surrounding the boy named Chen.

Despite the imminent catastrophe looming over the immortal domain, Luo Xuan harbored no less malice toward Chen. “Excellent, I’ll instruct others to locate him,” he remarked.

The events in Luo Wang City quickly became known throughout the Central Immortal Domain, spreading like wildfire across the universes ruled by the immortal kings. The news caused a stir, like a meteor crashing into the deep sea, creating monstrous waves and instilling fear and unease among all cultivators.

After all, even a quasi-immortal king from the Southern Celestial Realm personally rushed over to relay a message, instructing all immortal kings to gather at the Moon Palace in the Southern Immortal Realm half a month later.

Could such a matter be a mistake?

Moreover, during this time, envoys from foreign lands arrived, engaging with immortal kings like King Luo in discussions, suggesting there might be some significant event. In a blink, the entire immortal realm buzzed with activity, and in many universes, immortal families began deliberating and strategizing.

Even in the ancient forbidden zones, where matters of the immortal realm were traditionally ignored, there were signs of immense activity. Within billions of star domains, a terrifying pressure permeated the surroundings as if some dreadful entity was awakening. Nebulas fragmented, and many grand stars crumbled under this upheaval.

Although the immortal realm appeared calm on the surface, underground currents were surging. Many felt the premonition of an impending storm, akin to the calm before a tempest filled the building.

On the orders of Ancestor Ming Wang, we will stay in the immortal realm for this period. If Senior Luo Wang makes a decision, feel free to inform us at any time.

Inside Luo Wang’s residence, beings from various foreign lands, including Ming Yi, temporarily reside here, showing no intention of returning to their respective realms. Witnessing the situation in the immortal realm over these days, they were as concerned and anxious as they were when they first received the news.

Even the taboo existence personally ordered all immortal kings to pay respects half a month later.

What could this mean? A Hongmen banquet?

In the past, if beings from foreign lands received such news, they would revel in relish. However, the current atmosphere was one of sorrow and despair, marked by an oppressive feeling that could not be ignored.

If the immortal kings from foreign lands were suddenly issued such a decree, they would likely experience the same fear and anxiety as those in the immortal realm.

Regardless of the central immortal realm or other realms, these days were undoubtedly filled with tremors and unrest. Even heavenly kings were in a state of panic, discussing countermeasures.

Half a month might seem neither long nor short, but it was merely a blink of an eye in the eyes of many immortal beings accustomed to closing themselves off for tens of thousands of years.

Unlike the turmoil in the central immortal realm, where various universes were quaking, the southern immortal realm seemed unusually calm. The different clans and sects were still unaware of the situation, experiencing a quiet before the storm.

Deep within the Southern Immortal Realm, the Buddhist kingdom exuded a vast expanse of radiant Buddha light. In every temple, believers knelt in devotion, their faith flowing like a silver river, boundless within the kingdom.

Although referred to as a Buddhist kingdom, it was, in reality, a fragment of an ancient universe. The Buddha King had refined it into his Buddhist kingdom, isolated from the outside world. However, the Buddha King hadn’t appeared in this world for nearly a million years.

If it weren’t for his Dao avatar still existing in the heavens and earth, many immortal kings would speculate whether he had exhausted his lifespan, unable to withstand the five signs of decay, and had already entered Nirvana.
