The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 586 The Situation of the Ultimate Ancient Land

Because the Nine Yuan Immortal King did not deliberately hide his emotions, or rather, deliberately showed his emotions, Li Daoming was roughly aware of his dissatisfaction.

However, Li Daoming didn't care about this! He didn't intend to waste time with pleasantries and directly stated his purpose:

“I am new to this place and do not know anything about it. Tell me everything you know, and our karma will be settled.”

"If you deliberately conceal something or try to harm me, no matter what, even if you flee to the ends of the earth or have someone backing you, you will surely die!"

At this point, Li Daoming's eyes sharpened, revealing a captivating aura.

"Alright, it's a deal!" The Nine Yuan Immortal King agreed without hesitation.

Information from this place is not blocked, so it is not valuable.

Any Celestial King who comes here will find it easy to learn about this place. By simply finding a few Celestial Kings, one can easily obtain the details.

He wouldn't refuse if he could settle the karmic debt without paying more.

Immediately, the Nine Yuan Immortal King did not hesitate and condensed all his knowledge of this place into a point of spiritual light, which he then transmitted to Li Daoming.

Li Daoming was highly skilled and daring, and was not afraid of the Nine Yuan Immortal King's tricks at all. He directly used his divine sense to read the information contained in the spiritual light.

"So that's how it is. There are so many powerful people in this place?" A look of understanding flashed in Li Daoming's eyes, along with a hint of surprise.

This area was originally the dividing zone between the edge of the Boundary Sea and the Ultimate Ancient Land, and was called the Dark Land.

The Dark Land was originally a pitch-black world, but it has been corrupted by dark forces, and everything has turned dark.

Moreover, this place, as well as the seawall at the end of the boundary sea connected to it, are ravaged by rune storms of quasi-immortal emperor level, separating the boundary sea from the ultimate ancient land.

However, later, the Desolate Emperor broke through the boundary sea dike and the Dark Land, and entered the Ultimate Ancient Land, seemingly annihilating some emperors of the same level and completely quelling the Dark Turmoil.

After quelling the dark turmoil, the Desolate Emperor took action to extinguish and purify the dark power of the dike at the end of the Boundary Sea, the Dark Land, and the Ultimate Ancient Land.

Afterwards, in order to find the root of the dark turmoil, the Desolate Emperor left this world, leaving behind a sword light in the Ultimate Ancient Land.

This sword light cleaved through endless space and time, severed the connection between the myriad worlds and higher worlds, and completely cut off the long river of time that had influenced all the heavens.

The Desolate Emperor left behind a sword light here, which all the Immortal Kings could sense in the darkness.

Sensing an immense aura that transcends even the realm of Immortal Kings, many Immortal Kings who sought to break through to the level of King and become Emperors crossed the Boundary Sea and arrived here.

Many celestial kings came here and saw a sword light left behind by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. They wanted to comprehend this sword light in order to glimpse a higher realm.

Some even considered breaking through the sword light to enter the heavens and seek the opportunity to become an emperor.

However, all the Celestial Kings who tried failed, including the Celestial King Di Guang.

Fortunately, this sword light was left to target the dark forces and had no killing intent towards anything outside of them. Otherwise, those Immortal Kings who wanted to cross this sword light and enter the heavens would have met with nothing but destruction.

For many Immortal Kings, nothing was more important than breaking through from King to Emperor. Therefore, most of the Immortal Kings who arrived here chose to settle down and comprehend the sword light left behind by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. However, the Boundary Sea was too dangerous, containing chaotic Great Dao rules, making it unsuitable for them to settle down and comprehend. The Ultimate Ancient Land was filled with incomparably terrifying sword energy, making it impossible for even Immortal Kings to stay.

As a result, many Celestial Kings set their sights on this vast territory, which was originally a dark land, and used various methods to transform it.

The once desolate and shattered land, littered by a horrific war, has been transformed into a place even more magnificent and prosperous than the Immortal Realm of the Ancient Era. Immortal radiance permeates the land, and endless Immortal King Dao runes flow and intertwine, making it a sacred place for cultivation.

Although this place has been transformed by many immortal kings, becoming incredibly magnificent and prosperous, and extremely suitable for cultivation, there are not many living beings here.

Apart from the more than 500 Celestial Kings, there are fewer than 100,000 living beings.

Among these less than 100,000 beings, there are more than 1,000 true immortals, more than 20,000 quasi-emperors comparable to the Heaven-Covering Technique, and almost all the rest have broken through to the saint realm.

Knowing that there were more than 500 Immortal Kings, more than 1,000 True Immortals, and so many Quasi-Emperors and above here, Li Daoming couldn't help but be surprised, feeling that the number of True Immortals and Immortal Kings here seemed a bit too many.

However, recalling the Immortal Kings born in the Immortal Realm, the Otherworld, the Primordial Ancient Realm, and the Burial Realm in the original work, as well as the messages conveyed by the Nine Yuan Immortal King, Li Daoming suddenly felt that there was nothing more to it.

In the original work, more than two or three hundred Immortal Kings were born in just the four great worlds of Immortal Realm, Otherworld, Primordial Ancient Realm, and Burial Realm.

Of course, this includes those Immortal Kings who entered the Boundary Sea to seek the path to becoming Emperors, as well as those Immortal Kings who perished in the Boundary War. Otherwise, there certainly wouldn't be that many Immortal Kings who were merely stationed in the Four Boundaries.

The Four Realms alone have given birth to so many Immortal Kings. Other great universes, even those not as powerful as the Immortal Realm, the Primordial Ancient Realm, the Other Realm, and the Burial Realm, are far more numerous.

However, the total number of Celestial Kings born in all the great universes combined is certainly no less than that in the Four Directions World.

Moreover, this is only one or two eras; there were countless eras before that.

Immortal Kings are immortal and indestructible, they do not age and die, and they are extremely difficult to kill. However, due to the four Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors of the Ultimate Ancient Land constantly instigating Dark Turmoil, many Immortal Kings fought and killed each other, and some Immortal Kings explored the Boundary Sea in search of the path to becoming an Emperor... As a result, the vast majority of Immortal Kings perished.

Otherwise, the number of Immortal Kings would be at least several thousand, if not ten thousand.

Although many Celestial Kings perished for various reasons, nearly five hundred Celestial Kings survived until the end of the last era.

In fact, there were more than nearly five hundred Immortal Kings who survived until the end of the Emperor War. However, many Immortal Kings had completely fallen into darkness and were beyond redemption, and were eliminated by the Desolate Heaven Emperor.

Although only about five hundred Celestial Kings survived the end of the last era.

However, after the Desolate Emperor reached the Ultimate Ancient Road, he discovered many primordial spirits imprisoned in the Ancient Temple of Guidance and released them.

Those who can be imprisoned by the Ancient Hall of Guidance are either peerless experts at the True Immortal or Immortal King level, or peerless geniuses with the potential of a True Immortal or even an Immortal King.

Although they only have their primordial spirits left, it is not difficult to reshape their physical bodies with their primordial spirits.

Although many of them did not live to see the end of the Imperial War, quite a few did.

Having cultivated to this point, many of these peerless geniuses have already attained the status of True Immortals, and some have even broken through to the Immortal King realm.

In addition, during this era, the boundless chaos gave birth to many large universes that reached the level of Immortal Kings, and many fragments of large universes such as the Immortal Realm, the Burial Realm, and the Other Realm evolved into independent large universes.
