Above the Immortal King

"Some people like us thought of every possible way to survive and evade the Epoch Tribulation."

"People like you? Are you saying that only experts above the Immortal King realm are qualified to survive the Epoch Tribulation?" Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly.

Yan Lingxue shook her head. "You are only half right. It is true that only those above the Immortal King realm are qualified to survive, but strictly speaking, we are not truly above the Immortal King realm.

Above the Immortal King is the Immortal Monarch. Experts at the Immortal Monarch level can construct the profound mysteries of the Great Dao into a world entirely their own. They are the monarchs of that world, much like the Reincarnation Domain I used earlier.

As for us, we can only be considered Half-step Immortal Monarchs. We have only constructed the rudimentary form of a law world, which is far from perfect.

True Immortal Monarch experts do not fear the Epoch Tribulation at all. They can hide within their own law worlds to evade the disaster. Although Half-step Immortal Monarchs like us can also hide in our rudimentary law worlds, such worlds are imperfect and still carry the risk of being destroyed.

If the Epoch Tribulation were compared to a torrential downpour, a perfect law world would be a high-quality tile-roofed house. Those hiding inside wouldn't get the slightest bit wet.

Meanwhile, the worlds we construct are like dilapidated, leaky thatched cottages. If the quality is somewhat sturdy, you might only get a little wet. But if the quality is poor, the entire house might be blown away by the storm."

Yan Lingxue's explanation was very vivid, and Gu Qingfeng understood immediately.

He just hadn't expected the gap between an Immortal Monarch and an Immortal King to be so massive. A mere Half-step Immortal Monarch possessed the power to crush any Immortal King.

But thinking about it, it made sense. The higher the realm, the harder it was to advance, and thus the disparity in power would be immense.

"Because you are all Half-step Immortal Monarchs, most of you find it difficult to survive the Epoch Tribulation unscathed?"

"Exactly. My Reincarnation Domain was only a rudimentary form, completely insufficient for survival. Therefore, I had to rely on the power of reincarnation to enter the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn.

Some others who were stronger than me, even if they survived, have long since fallen into a deep slumber or hidden in some unknown corner to silently recover.

However, counting the days, they should be almost fully recovered. The appearance of Transcendent Matter means that this epoch is beginning to prosper, and they can use Transcendent Matter to better heal their injuries."

"What exactly is Transcendent Matter?" Gu Qingfeng asked.

He had always been curious because the major Immortal Kings fought desperately to snatch Transcendent Matter.

"Transcendent Matter is the epoch crystal. It is the essence left behind after the destruction of the previous epoch. With this essence, one can accelerate the construction of their own law world and thereby achieve transcendence."

"Oh?" Gu Qingfeng's eyes lit up. From the sound of it, Transcendent Matter was extremely valuable!

Previously, the people from the Immortal King Palace had been trying to snatch the Transcendent Matter from the Heaven Capital Immortal King and the others. Now that all this Transcendent Matter had fallen into his hands, it was quite a lucrative haul.

Moreover, he could use the Transcendent Matter to feed the Immortal Kings, fatten them up, and then slaughter them!

"Then what is above the Immortal Monarch?"

Yan Lingxue shook her head, indicating she didn't know.

"In this Falling Star Abyss, there are no experts above the Immortal Monarch, not even Immortal Monarchs themselves."

"Why is that?"

"The Eternal True World is infinitely vast, and the Falling Star Abyss is but a mere corner of it. This place is more like a prison, and every Epoch Tribulation is a harvest. Only Immortal Monarch experts can break free from this prison. When Immortal Monarch experts become capable of breaking free, they will choose to leave the Falling Star Abyss."

"Only Immortal Monarchs can leave the Falling Star Abyss? Aren't Immortal Monarchs unafraid of the Epoch Tribulation? Why do they still need to leave?"

Yan Lingxue suddenly paused at this moment, her tone eerie. "Legend has it that an Immortal Monarch expert once said there is a great terror in the Falling Star Abyss, and if you don't leave, you will die."

Gu Qingfeng became even more surprised. What kind of secret was hidden in this Falling Star Abyss that would terrify Immortal Monarch-level experts into running away?

Just as he was about to continue asking, a powerful aura suddenly soared into the sky, speeding over from the far east.

Boom!

A blinding emerald-green divine rainbow descended from the sky, transforming into a tall, handsome man in a green robe wearing a feathered crown.

His skin was a pale green overall, as if cast from emerald gold, flowing with a dazzling luster. A terrifying and fierce murderous aura spread from him, enveloping the entire area. He was impressively a peak Immortal King.

Blocking the path of the White Bone Blood Boat, he smiled and said, "Congratulations to Lord Ghost Mother on your escape. I am Leng Lie, from the Zangtian Forbidden Zone. On the orders of my master, I invite you to be a guest at the Zangtian Forbidden Zone."

Inside the White Bone Blood Boat, Yan Lingxue's expression changed drastically. "The Zangtian Forbidden Zone?"

Hearing these words, information regarding the Zangtian Forbidden Zone immediately surfaced in Gu Qingfeng's mind.

Above this River of Laws, there were six forbidden zones similar to the Senluo Ghost Domain, known as the Six Great Forbidden Zones.

Among them, the Senluo Ghost Domain was merely a forbidden zone in the middle section of the River of Laws, while the Zangtian Forbidden Zone was located in the latter half, making it even more terrifying than the Senluo Ghost Domain.

Although the Senluo Ghost Domain was mysterious and dangerous, at least people still dared to enter it. Hadn't the Heaven Capital Immortal King and the others entered it to hide from a formidable enemy?

But the Zangtian Forbidden Zone was a true forbidden zone.

In the long, drawn-out years of the past, some Immortal King experts had entered the Zangtian Forbidden Zone, but without exception, they all perished, and their dao vanished. There were even peak Immortal Kings among them.

The corpses of those slain Immortal Kings were thrown out of the Zangtian Forbidden Zone and left floating on the River of Laws.

Furthermore, without exception, the state of these corpses was basically identical: severely decayed with their divine souls shattered.

One must know that these were the corpses of Immortal Kings. Their hardness was unimaginable, and even in death, they were extremely difficult to corrode. Yet, the corpses of the Immortal Kings who died in the Zangtian Forbidden Zone were all severely decayed.

Since then, no one had dared to go to the Zangtian Forbidden Zone, not even daring to approach the area where it was located.

Rumors circulated that a terrifying existence was buried in the Zangtian Forbidden Zone.

And yet, this man named Leng Lie claimed to be from the Zangtian Forbidden Zone and was inviting Yan Lingxue to be a guest.

Gu Qingfeng guessed that the master of the Zangtian Forbidden Zone was very likely an old acquaintance of Yan Lingxue from the previous epoch.

"Is your master Gu Zangtian?" Yan Lingxue asked.

Leng Lie smiled faintly. "Exactly. My master sensed that Lord Ghost Mother has awakened and successfully broken free from the curse. He specially sent me down to offer congratulations and to invite Lord Ghost Mother to be a guest at the Zangtian Forbidden Zone."

For a moment, Yan Lingxue's gaze flickered uncertainly, clearly deep in thought.

She was wondering if she could use Gu Zangtian to escape Gu Qingfeng's demonic clutches.

In truth, she really wanted to go to the Zangtian Forbidden Zone, but now that she was a prisoner, how could she speak of freedom?

Whether she went or not was ultimately up to Gu Qingfeng to decide.
