Chapter 1110: Chapter 1096: Vacuous Realm, Undead

South of Zhuji Continent, outside the Immortal Abandoned Ridge.

Four figures of immense aura stood on the cloud, their expressions solemn as they looked into the distance. These were Kong Ce and other True Immortals who had arrived first.

Not long after, a sword light and a mirror light flashed by, revealing the figures of Shen Mo and the Jade Spring Fairy...

After accepting Kong Ce’s invitation at the Cloud Palace, Jade Spring Fairy went to the relic of the Hollow Venerable cave mansion to join Shen Mo in heading to Zhuji Continent. However, since Shen Mo had to deal with the Soul Refining Flag first, the two were slightly delayed.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone cast their spells and headed into the depths of the Immortal Abandoned Ridge.

The scene before them was one of devastation: the Immortal Mountain had collapsed, the earth had sunken, Spiritual Qi was sparse, and life was extinct. It was almost turned into a forbidden place, just like the northern part of Dongjie Continent.

Due to the constraints of achievement in heaven and earth, True Immortals would avoid damaging this world during magic duels, only striking without restraint when life was at stake!

"Odd!"

Master Jinguang cast a spell to capture an unsheathed sword Qi, and after crushing it, an unusual aura spread forth. "Why does this place have lingering traces of the Death Ghost Realm?"

The Immortal Realm, known as the "never withering world," naturally wouldn’t be tainted by the Death Ghost Realm. These desolate auras likely originated from the forbidden land that descended upon Immortal Abandoned Ridge.

"Could this forbidden land originally be a Withering Realm?" True Immortal Kong Ce from Bamboo Island presented his conjecture.

"Withering Realms are invaded by the Death Ghost Realm, equivalent to partially falling into it. Only by excising this portion can it be refined into a forbidden land; otherwise, it’s impossible to escape the Death Ghost Realm’s anchoring and ascend to the Immortal Realm. Thus, even if this forbidden land was refined from a Withering Realm, it wouldn’t bring the Death Ghost Realm’s aura to the Immortal Realm..."

With doubts in their hearts, Shen Mo and the six others continued to venture into the Immortal Abandoned Ridge.

The Immortal Abandoned Ridge is not just an Immortal Mountain but is composed of multiple mountain ranges, including the Immortal Abandoned Mountain Range, expansive in extent far beyond the Corpse Mountain Range.

All along the way, Shen Mo remained cautious, continually attuned to the surroundings through his five senses. He equipped the [Chanjue] Destiny in the Destiny Disc’s groove to be capable of reacting promptly to any impending peril!

Nonetheless, they encountered no danger on their journey, not even a shadow appeared, until a misty glow manifested before everyone’s eyes.

"Could it be... the Vacuous Realm?"

Upon seeing this familiar glow, a look of astonishment appeared on Shen Mo’s face.

The forbidden land that descended upon the Immortal Abandoned Ridge was unmistakably the Vacuous Realm, revealed years ago in the form of the ancient battlefield of immortals and demons within the Heaven Patrolling Zone.

"Sect Master Shen, do you know the origin of this forbidden land?" Kong Ce was initially startled then quickly probed.

"Yes!"

Times have changed; now, there is no need to conceal matters concerning the Vacuous Realm. Shen Mo shared what he knew with everyone.

In the Heaven Patrolling Zone of the Primordial Realm, every seven hundred years, the Vacuous Realm appears as the ancient battlefield of immortals and demons, persisting for about ten years each time. It has always been this way throughout history.

Cultivators of the Heaven Patrolling Zone do not realize this is a complete world, thinking it a cave paradise or Dungeon, nor do they know when the ancient battlefield originated or why it was formed, only that a world-shaking battle occurred here during Ancient Times, resulting in the fall and burial of countless Xian Dao Strongholds!

While exploring the Heaven Patrolling Zone, Shen Mo had visited the Vacuous Realm too, encountering numerous dangers and gaining several opportunities, like the Demon-Suppressing Tower, Samadhi True Fire, elixir recipe, Evil-eating Sky Centipede, and more, all found here.

Back then, he had some doubts about how the Vacuous Realm could connect the many Withering Realms and non-Withering Realms, despite the severance with the Immortal Realm. Now he understood; if the Vacuous Realm was a forbidden land refined by Earth Immortal Realm level Immortal Path strongholds, possessing the ability to connect all realms would not be surprising.

"In that case, the master of Vacuous Realm might at least be a top Earth Immortal, perhaps even..."

Before Master Jinguang could finish speaking, the misty glow surged, and strange figures emerged from within, appearing before everyone!

They bore intense Death Ghost Realm aura yet simultaneously contained vast vitality, their forms bizarrely alternating between corpse-like and human-like, as if caught between life and death.

Upon equipping [Insight into All Beings], Shen Mo discovered this Destiny was ineffective on them; in Destiny determination, they did not belong to the category of living creatures... These strange figures had crawled out from the depths of the Vacuous Realm!

In the next moment, another special Destiny, [Chanjue], also delivered a premonition.

"They are foes, not friends, beware!" Shen Mo summoned the Taiyi Sword, activating the Thousand Laws Robe to set up the No Magic Zone, while communicating via sense to Jade Spring Fairy and the others as a warning.

Without Shen Mo’s reminder, Jade Spring Fairy and the others knew these strange figures were hostile and promptly employed immortal techniques.

Boom!

Master Jinguang’s body emanated immortal light as he stomped his foot fiercely.

For miles around, peaks rose abruptly, though not as grand as Immortal Mountain, their connection to the damaged earth vein and spiritual vein stitched together, forming a small Earth Yuan Array in no time.

Then, he summoned the celestial artifact Fuyao Ruler; as mana continually poured into the ruler, waves of profound dao rhyme spread across;

Within the Formation’s covered scope, Shen Mo and others suddenly felt the sky taller by three feet and the ground thicker by a yard, immediately elevating the tier and power of this small Earth Yuan Array, even surpassing the Earth Yuan Array Shen Mo had painstakingly laid upon the Corpse Mountain Range!
