SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Often, imagination is very pale.

Even though these prodigies had heard countless times about how vast the border was.

But when they truly arrived in person.

That kind of heartfelt shock still left them standing in place, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

The border, ancient and majestic, seemed as if it was forged by ancient deities.

Countless ancestors had shed blood here, stained with mottled and dark blood.

Various terrifying rune patterns and rules were interwoven upon it, flashing with dazzling light.

At this moment, all the celestial realm prodigies who had come to the border for the first time fell silent.

They stood in place, their expressions solemn and respectful.

Jun Xiaoyao also felt emotional.

He wasn't someone whose emotions were easily stirred, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel moved.

"Is this the border that father has been guarding all along?"

Jun Xiaoyao said to himself.

He had said before that he didn't want to be a hero, nor did he want to be a savior.

But when he personally saw the border that Jun Wuhui had been guarding, when he saw the blood accumulated on those boundless walls.

He still raised his hand and bowed deeply toward the border.

The prodigies present, seeing this, also followed Jun Xiaoyao and paid their respects to the blood-stained border.

Even hostile figures like the Ancient Emperor's Son and others, under these circumstances, also cupped their hands in respect.

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao take the lead in paying respects, Old Scar Four's eyes showed deep satisfaction.

"Benefactor, your offspring has a sincere heart just like you," Old Scar Four sighed in his heart.

Those border guard teams, as well as the Great Knight, seeing Jun Xiaoyao's behavior, all had their favorable impression of him rise sharply.

"Worthy of being the offspring of Lord Wuhui, truly sincere."

"Yes, perhaps in the future he will become the second White-Robed Divine King, making the foreign realm tremble in fear!"

Jun Xiaoyao didn't know that his momentary emotional gesture had earned him the goodwill of these border warriors.

"Alright, everyone follow me."

Old Scar Four led everyone, advancing along the border.

Looking out, the border seemed endless.

It was called a city gate, but in reality it was more vast than a dimensional wall.

People could occasionally feel some dark and powerful divine consciousness sweeping through the void, exploring in all directions.

"Quasi-Emperor!"

Many were shocked, this was definitely a quasi-emperor level expert conducting surveillance through divine consciousness.

But this was understandable, after all, this was the front line of the border, so it was normal to have quasi-emperors stationed here.

Before long, Old Scar Four stopped.

"We've arrived, your ultimate trial ground, the Divine Ruins World."

Everyone looked behind Old Scar Four and held their breath.

All were shocked by the scene before them.

Even Jun Xiaoyao, who remained calm no matter what happened, flashed a look of surprise in his eyes.

Because ahead, that vast and ancient border that had stood for eons had actually cracked open, breaking off a section.

This made many prodigies suffocate, feeling their hair stand on end.

The vast and ancient border, extremely solid, covered with various rules.

By all rights, it should have stood firm for eternity without falling.

But now, it had cracked open in one place, creating a gap.

The missing opening was as wide as an ancient star realm.

But what shocked everyone was not just the gap in the border.

It was also because at this gap, there was a green lotus.

A green lotus so vast and boundless that it was almost comparable to a star realm.

This giant lotus bloomed between heaven and earth, with strands of chaos energy falling down from its petals.

It was like a Milky Way waterfall flowing straight down.

Huge celestial bodies adorned the lotus leaves, like grains of sand.

The prodigies present were almost all disciples of immortal forces, what grand scenes hadn't they seen?

But the scene before them still deeply shocked them.

They were as amazed as country bumpkins who had just entered the city.

"No wonder..."

Jun Xiaoyao suddenly recalled that previously on the Burial Emperor Star, that Ancient Path Enforcer had mentioned.

The ultimate trial ground was related to a mythical emperor, could it be...

Just as Jun Xiaoyao was pondering, Old Scar Four spoke: "Throughout history, the foreign realm has invaded our Nine Heavens Celestial Realm more than once."

"Among them, the most serious invasion was when the foreign realm produced more than one 'Disaster-level' Immortal, bringing a great catastrophe to our celestial realm."

"Even the border was broken, creating a huge gap."

Old Scar Four's heavy words spread in all directions.

All the prodigies who heard fell silent.

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed darkly.

The top emperor-level powerhouses of the foreign realm were called Immortal Kings.

Then what kind of terrifying existence was a "Disaster-level" Immortal?

"Back then, the border had a gap broken through, and the situation was precarious. If the foreign realm had been allowed to fully invade, the Nine Heavens Celestial Realm would have been completely unable to recover."

"In the end, a mythical emperor took action, using his own body to plug the gap in the border, eventually transforming into a green lotus."

"It was the Green Emperor!"

Old Scar Four's words were deafening, resonating in everyone's ears.

"Indeed, it is that eternal green lotus in the blue sky," Jun Xiaoyao realized.

Mythical emperors were those who had become legendary.

The Ancient Lan True Lord worshipped by the Ancient Lan Holy Church, the One-Armed Underworld King worshipped by the Underworld King lineage.

And the Ancient Buddha Shakyamuni worshipped by the Western Heaven Religion, they had all become legendary emperors.

Of course, Jun Xiaoyao didn't know if the Jun family had any mythical emperors.

The Jun family had never proclaimed such things.

"The Green Emperor was a green lotus nurtured in chaos. When the border was in danger, Lord Green Emperor used his body to plug the gap, creating his own realm."

"It is the giant green lotus you see now, and within it is the Divine Ruins World, which is also the Green Emperor's inner universe."

Old Scar Four's words made Jun Xiaoyao's eyes show surprise.

Jun Xiaoyao himself had an inner universe, currently with a diameter of two light years.

But now, just that giant green lotus was more than two light years.

Not to mention that after entering it, the range would definitely be even more vast.

Jun Xiaoyao was moved.

If he entered the Divine Ruins World, he could comprehend the Green Emperor's rules and creation methods, which would greatly help the evolution of his inner universe.

At this time, Old Scar Four's expression became a bit more serious, and after clearing his throat, he said:

"As everyone knows, this ultimate trial will be different from previous ones."

"Because this time, the foreign realm has discovered a fatal flaw in the Divine Ruins World, which could very likely cause the Divine Ruins World to collapse, resulting in the reappearance of the gap."

Old Scar Four's words caused a huge stir, instantly raising tremendous waves!

"What, the Divine Ruins World created by the Green Emperor is about to collapse?"

"If so, when the gap reappears, won't the foreign realm's army march straight in!"

The place was like a boiling pot, in an uproar!

The Green Emperor had transformed into a realm, barely managing to plug the border gap.

If it were to collapse now, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Everyone could see that the gap was as large as an ancient star realm. Even if they reorganized the defense line, it would be difficult to defend.

Otherwise, they would need to sacrifice another mythical emperor to plug the gap.

But the problem is, how could that be possible?

In this era, even great emperors were rarely seen and didn't often appear in the world, let alone emperors who had become legendary myths.

What is a myth?

Something ethereal and elusive is called a myth.

Taking a step back, even if mythical emperors existed, who would want to sacrifice their own dao fruit?

Not everyone could be as selfless as the Green Emperor.

After all, powerhouses of that level were already unfathomably strong.

Even if the celestial realm were destroyed, they could still exist in the world, becoming their own forbidden areas.

With this, all the prodigies' expressions became very solemn.

This trial was indeed more cruel than previous ones.

"May I ask, elder, is there a way to prevent this?" a prodigy asked with cupped hands.

"Of course there is a way, otherwise I wouldn't have told you so much." As Old Scar Four spoke, his gaze turned toward Jun Xiaoyao.

Obviously, he valued Jun Xiaoyao highly and placed his hopes on him.

After all, Jun Xiaoyao's true strength far exceeded his realm.

In the Divine Ruins World, he would be extremely useful.
