Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 478 An Unknown Foreign Land

Foreign land.

As Yuan Changqing traveled through foreign lands, he also sensed the changes in the world through his travels, and darkness had already returned once again.

The Desolate Emperor stood before the plateau, desperately resisting the eerie and ominous forces. All the heavens and myriad realms had long been corrupted and conquered by darkness.

Now, those strange and ominous forces, led by countless dark and mysterious powerful beings, are launching an attack on the heavens.

Although the Desolate Emperor is currently at the forefront, the powerful figures above the heavens are still persevering.

Unfortunately, Yuan Changqing also knew that without strong support from the heavens, the world would eventually fall; it was just a matter of course.

The current Immortal Realm, including Yuan Changqing, Ye Fan, Wu Shi, the Ruthless Empress, and the Azure Emperor, has grown up, and there are also many new immortal experts constantly emerging in the Immortal Realm.

However, with this level of strength, it's still a drop in the ocean and not enough to make a decisive difference in the situation.

These things will happen exactly as they are; there's no way to change them. After all, the enemy is too powerful.

Yuan Changqing's purpose in venturing into this foreign realm was to investigate thoroughly, so that the Immortal Realm could gain a clear understanding of it.

Not long after, Yuan Changqing finally found a True Immortal powerhouse in a certain realm who was corrupted by darkness, eeriness, and misfortune.

Yuan Changqing easily subdued such a true immortal and began searching his soul.

This true immortal, corrupted by darkness and eeriness, is no longer the original being. He has now changed his primordial spirit, and the original primordial spirit, corrupted by darkness and eeriness, has given birth to a dark primordial spirit, which has devoured the original primordial spirit.

This is the power of dark, eerie, and ominous matter; the corrupted being directly replaced in spirit, becoming someone who is not quite the same as before.

Darkness, eeriness, and misfortune have returned!

From the primordial spirit of this dark immortal, Yuan Changqing also discovered that this realm was ruled by an Immortal King.

Even the Celestial King has succumbed to darkness, transforming into something eerie and ominous.

Upon receiving this information, Yuan Changqing couldn't help but sigh. Although he had already suspected it, he still felt saddened when it was actually confirmed.

After all, even a Celestial King has fallen, so this alien world is beyond saving.

Unless, in the future, Yuan Changqing possesses the strength of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, and with overwhelming power, he can wipe out this alien realm in one fell swoop, restoring its peace and order.

Unfortunately, we are still not strong enough, so we can only choose to be patient and wait for the right opportunity.

In fact, the current alien realm is similar to the situation in the Immortal Ancient Era and the Chaotic Ancient Era.

Many beings, in their entire lives, are already awe-inspiring if they can break through to the ordinary Immortal King realm.

However, everyone hopes to go further and see higher views.

However, once a person breaks through to the ordinary Immortal King realm, they have already exhausted their resources, have nowhere left to advance, and see no way back.

Therefore, in order to go further, to face the ominous temptations of darkness, and to obtain greater power and a higher realm, some immortal kings chose to come into contact with darkness and embrace it.

However, those Celestial Kings who plunged into darkness could never have imagined that this was the beginning of their calamity.

Once corrupted by darkness, eeriness, and misfortune, a new dark primordial spirit will be born within the body, beginning to vie for control of the body from the original primordial spirit.

The newly born dark primordial spirit was not powerful at first, but as long as one's will was strong enough, it could still be suppressed and assimilated.

However, those Celestial Kings who chose to embrace darkness were clearly unable to do this.

Ultimately, it was the dark primordial spirit that devoured and assimilated its own primordial spirit, or some more powerful immortal kings who directly coexisted and merged with the dark primordial spirit, becoming something that was neither one nor the other.

This is why the entire alien realm was plunged into darkness during the Immortal Ancient Era and the Chaotic Ancient Era.

Even before the Immortal Ancient Era, there were quasi-Immortal Emperor powerhouses like Hongdi, Cangdi, Yudi, and the World Destroyer, who, unable to see a way out, degenerated into embodiments of darkness.

The alien realm, later manipulated by them, succumbed to darkness and became the source of darkness in the universe.

Therefore, it is not surprising that darkness, eeriness, and misfortune have returned to this alien realm in this new era.

After all, darkness is eerie and ominous, and it's not so easy to clear away and purify.

Yuan Changqing had anticipated all of this, and what he knew from his memory remained unchanged.

Although the alien lands have not yet been completely overrun, they are not in much better shape; it's only a matter of time before they are completely lost.

Judging from the current situation, there are probably very few worlds in the myriad universes that have not been corrupted by darkness. Time is running out!

Yuan Changqing was also somewhat anxious. Even though he knew what was going on, he felt powerless when he actually faced it.

Currently, there are many Immortal Kings in this other realm. In fact, the Immortal King in the realm where Yuan Changqing is currently located is a powerful Immortal King.

Therefore, Yuan Changqing did not intend to target this Immortal King giant. After all, the Dark Immortal King was extremely strange and powerful, far beyond what a normal Immortal King giant could compare to.

Moreover, Yuan Changqing is currently only at the peak of the Immortal King realm, and there is still a gap between the two.

If Yuan Changqing acts rashly and engages in a major battle with this Dark Immortal King, it might attract the attention of powerful Immortal Kings from other realms.

If the Immortal Realm were to be exposed to darkness, eeriness, and misfortune again, it would be extremely dangerous.

Therefore, after roughly investigating the situation in the alien realm, Yuan Changqing quietly withdrew from the alien realm and prepared to return to the Immortal Realm to survive another wave of hardship.

...............

Immortal Realm.

The time it took Yuan Changqing to travel from the Immortal Realm to the Other Realm and back was only a few thousand years.

Ye Fan and the others are still in seclusion, and Yuan Changqing did not go to disturb them. He simply sent them a message that they would know the current situation once they woke up.

Subsequently, Yuan Changqing also went into seclusion once again.

Time flies, and half a million years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Ye Fan and the others had already emerged from seclusion once. After receiving the information from Yuan Changqing, they initially fell into silence.

Subsequently, Ye Fan, Wu Shi, the Ruthless Empress, and the Azure Emperor also went to the alien realm to investigate.

After personally verifying Yuan Changqing's information, he did not start a major war in the alien realm, but quietly returned to the Immortal Realm and continued his seclusion.

Clearly, Ye Fan and his group don't have any good options when facing the alien realm. They can only rely on their own strength to ensure their safety.

And so, Yuan Changqing spent 500,000 years in seclusion.

In the realm of cultivation, time seems to stand still. For someone at Yuan Changqing's level, the time required to improve his strength is simply too long.

Moreover, Yuan Changqing's speed was already impressive; for others, it would have taken even longer.

Of course, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and Ye Fan, these chosen ones of the world, cannot be judged by ordinary standards; they are simply monstrous beings.

If Yuan Changqing didn't have a supreme innate treasure like the World Pearl, he might not be as good as Wushi, Ruthless, or Qingdi!

The World Pearl—this is Yuan Changqing's golden touch, and also his greatest guarantee.

With the World Pearl serving as a catalyst for comprehending the Great Dao, Yuan Changqing's progress was extremely rapid.

Over the course of 500,000 years, Yuan Changqing once again raised his strength by two minor stages, reaching the level of a supreme immortal king.

Although these are only two small stages within the Immortal King realm, they are no easier than a major stage in the Immortal Path.

At this moment, Yuan Changqing's strength and realm have finally reached a point where he can be somewhat assured of his abilities, and he no longer needs to hold back when facing the alien world.

Of course, among the powerful figures standing behind the foreign lands, there must be dark beings like quasi-immortal emperors.

However, such powerful beings generally do not act easily; they will only strike to eliminate someone who is truly a threat.

Moreover, these Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors usually reside in important and special places within the myriad realms, where they cultivate in seclusion.

These dark quasi-immortal emperors are also the helmsmen of darkness, eeriness, and ominousness that corrupt all the heavens and myriad worlds. Great emperors and true immortals are the army, immortal kings are the generals, and quasi-immortal emperors are the commanders-in-chief. Just thinking about it makes one feel terrified and desperate.

This is the dark, eerie, and ominous power; this is the ability that allows them to completely corrupt all the heavens and myriad realms.

Right now, Yuan Changqing, Ye Fan, and the others have only scratched the surface of the dark and eerie world.

Leaving aside the dark quasi-immortal emperors and the quasi-immortal emperors and immortal emperors on the plateau, the dark forces of the otherworld alone are enough to give Yuan Changqing and his group a hard time.

The celestial light shone brightly throughout the entire Immortal Realm, spreading across the eastern part of the Immortal Realm, particularly the Undying Mountain region, creating a magnificent celestial landscape filled with ethereal beauty.

As Yuan Changqing awoke from his seclusion, powerful figures from the Immortal Realm flocked to him.

Subsequently, Ye Fan, Wu Shi, Qing Di, and others, riding on the immortal light of the Great Dao, all headed towards Yuan Changqing's Daoist temple.

"Fellow Daoists, how are you?" Yuan Changqing led Ye Fan and the others into the Undying Mountain Daoist Temple one by one.

"Judging from your aura, fellow Daoist, you have made tremendous progress in the past 500,000 years!" Wu Shi couldn't help but exclaim.

Yuan Changqing shook his head and said, "You can't afford not to work hard. I'm sure you all know about the situation in that other realm!"

Everyone nodded in unison. Ye Fan then said, "After the senior passed on the information to us, we also went to the alien realm to investigate. We didn't know how powerful the alien realm was until we saw it."

The Azure Emperor continued, "Indeed, after countless years, I never imagined I would face these ominous and bizarre things again."

Yuan Changqing added, "This is just about strength level. These are nothing special. The most terrifying thing is those dark, strange, and ominous substances. That's the real test for us."

"Once you get tainted by those dark, eerie, and ominous substances, there will be serious problems. I don't know if you've heard of this, but that's what I'm most worried about."

Ye Fan asked, "Senior, is there any other explanation for this dark, eerie, and ominous substance?"

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "These dark, eerie, and ominous substances are the reason why the alien realm has become what it is now. They are like a curse, with powerful corrosive, adhesive, and seductive properties."

"Without a strong will to suppress and refine it, it will fall into darkness and become a part of it."

"Moreover, once those dark, eerie, and ominous substances erode into a living being's body, a dark primordial spirit will be born, vying with the original primordial spirit for control of the body."

"In fact, if it is not suppressed, eliminated, or purified immediately, the dark primordial spirit will become stronger and stronger, eventually devouring the original primordial spirit and turning into a dark being."

Immediately, Ye Fan and the others were shocked and filled with lingering fear, never expecting that those dark, eerie, and ominous things would be so terrifying.

In fact, Wushi and Qingdi were more or less aware of these situations, but they had never truly experienced them because their predecessors had perished too early.

However, it's good to know more now. Understanding these situations will help us prevent being taken advantage of in the future.

"So how should we deal with the alien realm and that dark, eerie, and ominous place in the future?" Ye Fan asked again.

"A strong will and great power can directly suppress and refine them, turning them into our own strength. This allows our bodies to develop resistance to darkness, strangeness, and misfortune, enabling us to cope with them with ease," Yuan Changqing replied.

These are all experiences left behind by the Desolate Heaven Emperor and his followers. They have proven to be both highly effective and extremely dangerous; one wrong move and the ship could capsize.

However, these are not problems for people like Yuan Changqing and Ye Fan who have embarked on the path of worldly life.

The path of the mortal world, the path to immortality through nine cycles, requires great perseverance, great wisdom, and great fortune; otherwise, so few people would be able to achieve immortality through this method.

Even in this lifetime of Yuan Changqing, the variable of Yuan Changqing led some people to become immortals in the mortal world.

However, this may not be without the manifestation and blessing of the will of the universe, and it may also be a kind of self-salvation of the universe!
