Chapter 1267: The final choice of the City of No Return must be the order of the big Devil

What’s happening?

The expressions of Gui Lao and Cen Shuang s.h.i.+fted dramatically. They leaped into the air simultaneously, departing from the elevated platform of the City of No Return to gaze into the distance.

The sky quivered like a terrible force descending from a distant place, attempting to eradicate this realm. Ripples spread layer by layer like water waves, yet they carried an incredibly menacing power sufficient to obliterate everything.

Even with the protective curtain, they witnessed the astonis.h.i.+ng scene unfold. A crimson flame descended from the depths of the universe like a meteor. Big stars followed suit, plummeting and igniting into blazing flames, as if the entire heavens were withering and the whole universe was collapsing.

All living beings in this universe would be interred, returning to the ruins and buried together. One terrifying star crashed directly onto the large formation outside the Floating Realm, generating endless ripples, with cracks appearing in some places.

The original robust formation outside the Floating Realm, already delicate, could dim any moment. It grew increasingly unstable, accompanied by continuous clicking sounds, resembling a mirror surface on the verge of shattering.

The entire Floating Realm quaked, experiencing multiple tremors. Mountains quivered, and dust billowed into the sky. Many ancient trees shattered under this onslaught.

Further away, numerous ancient savage beasts gazed up in horror and anxiety. The majestic sacred mountain beside them collapsed with a bang, transforming into smoke and dust that filled the sky.

What’s going on?

“Could this be an invasion by foreign enemies?”

All the cultivators and creatures in the City of No Return swiftly comprehended the situation, intending to ascend to the skies.

However, the entirety of the Floating Realm was in upheaval, causing numerous individuals to plummet from the sky. Even flying became unstable amidst the chaos.

Rumble!

The external realm appeared to be descending into chaos, with countless cracks spreading and engulfing the world. In response, all creatures and cultivators in the City of No Return received orders to converge on the central main city.

The ancient bell, typically reserved for large-scale demon invasions, echoed through the air, reaching every corner. Meanwhile, in the distant land of Biyou. City’s soldiers and leaders engaged in battle with numerous demons. With alarmed expressions, they hastily made their way back to the city.

However, the violent upheaval of the Floating Realm intensified the devilish energy emanating from the Cangming Territory. New s.p.a.ce cracks emerged in some locations, releasing a vast surge of demonic energy and unleas.h.i.+ng a horde of demons. Some posed a significant challenge even to real immortals due to their spiritual wisdom and formidable strength.

A magnificent high platform stood in the heart of the central city. Under a lingering sun and amid surging energy, the core origin of demons, obtained from years of hunting, lay deep within. This core sustained the city’s operation and the Floating Realm’s formation, but its current resources needed to be improved.

The old city lord, weakened and unable to open his eyes, insisted on being brought out. Accompanying him were several elders, each an immortal king. Among them were figures who had survived the Forbidden Era, their seniority and experience making them formidable.

In the past, they had remained dormant to suppress their auras. However, the current circ.u.mstances forced them to awaken.

Cen Shuang, alongside Granny Yao and Gui Lao, wore a serious expression. their gaze fixed on the distant curtain. Each tremor of the curtain heightened the tension, and the uncertainty of how much more shock it could endure loomed over them.

Beneath the high platform, many cultivators and creatures from the city gathered, anxiously awaiting the elders’ decisions. In the distance, several ancient beasts at the level of the Immortal King, inhabitants of the neighboring barren land, observed the scene. They maintained a peaceful coexistence with the City of No Return for many epochs.

Gui Lao, the respected elder, addressed the crowd with a voice that, though quiet, reached every ear. The previously bustling central city fell silent as residents looked on, antic.i.p.ating the elders’ guidance. Gui Lao, known for handling many aspects of daily life, was especially revered in the absence of the old city lord, whose vitality was waning.

Gui Lao’s words carried weight, “Judging from the current situation, the large formation outside the Floating Realm can’t last long.” The gravity of his statement settled over the onlookers.

He continued, “All of us must prepare for the worst. Once the Floating Realm is exposed, we, as descendants of the Immortal Palace, cannot escape extermination. The Immortal King from the outside world is searching for the location of the Floating Realm and has already destroyed the star field outside, trying to force us to reveal ourselves.”

He further explained, “Now that the star field outside is collapsing, if the Floating Realm doesn’t take action, the entire Floating Realm will be buried in chaos. Along with those destroyed star fields, it will return to the ruins and perish together.”

“While it is fortunate that the outside world hasn’t truly discovered the location of the Floating Realm,” Old Turtle added, his gaze heavy.

“We have seen glimpses of their intentions. The Immortal King from the Immortal Domain has dismantled the surrounding Star Domains, aiming to unveil those hidden within the Floating Realm.”

This ruthless act could only be described as cruel. The destruction of the star fields meant the annihilation of any other creatures residing there, condemning them to the same fate.

“At first, they wiped out my Immortal Palace lineage, and now they aren’t satisfied; they want to eradicate every last trace?”

“Fight back with everything you have!”

Gui Lao’s words stirred a wave of resentment among the crowd below. Many gritted their teeth, their ancestors having deep connections with the Immortal Palace, some former officials or generals.

The glorious days of the Immortal Palace, ruling the heavens and being revered by thousands, had now given way to hiding like mice in the gutter. The prospect of the Floating Realm, their refuge, being destroyed fueled a deep-seated hatred, with many yearning to confront their ancient enemies.

Cen Shuang observed the collective resentment below, a tinge of sorrow on her face. As the heir of the Ancient Immortal Star-Lord, she couldn’t s.h.i.+eld the former subjects from their impending fate. Forced to hide and prolong their lives, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

“The curtain protecting the Floating Realm won’t endure for much longer. Our only chance is to leave the Floating Realm with the City of No Return.”

“But what about the creatures outside the City of No Return?”

Gui Lao sighed, leaving the unsaid consequences hanging in the air.

The City of No Return could only accommodate some, implying that some had to stay behind. The implications of such a decision were clear to everyone, prompting a somber silence in the central city.

This was their homeland, where former friends lay buried in distant mountains. Leaving their roots and risking death, or staying behind and awaiting demise — the choice was agonizing.

“Some must leave, and the legacy must continue,” Gui Lao declared.

“I’ll give everyone three days to decide. After that, the City of No Return will leave the Floating Realm, regardless.”

The old turtle’s sadness was evident in his eyes. With no other choice, who would willingly distance themselves so far from their homeland?

As the central city succ.u.mbed to a heavy silence and deep sorrow, the sky outside trembled again. A colossal hand descended, stars falling in its wake.

An Unrivaled Immortal King attacking, executing the destruction of the star field through supreme methods.

“This must be an order from that vile devil…”

Cen Shuang spoke through gritted teeth, her eyes ablaze with hatred.
