Chapter 1119: Great Emperors No More (2/2)

They were all wrong this time.

RUMBLE!

Thunder howled and lightning crashed in the world of immortals. Qing Yu’s dao fruit—the Dao Flower, materialized in the sky and blossomed throughout the world.

“What’s going on?!” All of the great emperors in the world lifted their heads in unison to look at the flower. Some changes seemed to be taking place with their cultivation level  and a vague, negative emotion departed from their minds.

“The great emperor realm… has been modified to the empyrean realm!” All of the former great emperors inhaled sharply. Though the title of great emperor seemed glorious, there was too much of an imperceptible and inexorable burden that came with it. It was too heavy to bear for the privilege of the title.

In the era of the human dao, all of the great emperors alive perished in the battle of Emperors Fall and transformed into akasha ghosts.

In this era, the immortal dao thrived and prospered, seeing to the revival of great emperors in the world, but the name still clung with a heavy weight.

In the eighty-third year of the Xuanhuang calendar, the Dao Flower bloomed once more and the great emperor realm… vanished!

“From henceforth, the great emperor realm is renamed the empyrean realm. There will be no more great emperors in the immortal dao!” Lu Yun’s voice echoed from the Dao Flower and traveled to all corners of the world.

“The empyrean realms means the ultimate peak of heaven and earth!”

The immortal dao shook and trembled as the great emperor realm was refashioned into empyrean realm.

“For the good of all!” Fuxi and Hongjun smiled at each other on Mount Buzhou. Elsewhere in an unknown part of space, God and Pangu also smiled broadly with great relief.

“The empyrean realm is nigh, we can return home now.” In the chaos, Qiang Liang and three thousand connate demon gods gingerly approached a towering figure.

“Not yet.” Wielding Quietus, an aloof Tianqi shook his head at them. “Another seven years.”

“…understood.” Qiang Liang nodded. There was no sense of time in the chaos, so seven years in the world of immortals was nothing.

……

“If I may be so bold, Headmaster, what comes after empyrean realm?” A celestial lord of the nine majors in the world of immortals called out.

This was an era of great growth and development. Being close to the heart of things, the nine celestial lords easily reached empyrean realm and consolidated their authority as the true masters of their domain. Thus was the balance of power between the nine majors, ten lands, four immortal seas, and four great oceans truly restored.

“The chaos realm,” sounded Lu Yun’s voice. “Why chaos? In this realm, one ascends beyond the world, withstands the chaos tribulations, and journeys the chaos with complete freedom.”

Hummmm!

The chaos realm appeared from the unknown and emblazoned itself into the immortal dao, becoming a fully integrated part of it!

In the eyes of the empyrean immortals, another clearing had appeared in indistinct road ahead, highlighting what it was they should strive for.

Chaos realm!

Qing Han released everything that the creator in the Tomb of Heaven and Earth had left them and assimilated it into the immortal dao.

No one in the world of immortals had expected that after his prolonged absence, the headmaster of the Dao Academy would reappear to delineate new cultivation realms in the immortal dao.

“And what after chaos realm?” came another question.

“Creator realm,” Lu Yun responded. “To create something from nothing, to be capable of all things, to be a creator of life!”

This realm sent the world into an uproar. Creator realm had always been a myth, a legend that people barely believed in. To think that this realm was real and within reach!
