Chapter 415: Entering the battlefield, the Immortal King's breakthrough shocks the four quarters

The Hun clan's dark-gold immortal vessel, like a drawn sword, tore through the layers of killing aura and smoothly sailed into the depths of the nebula.

After a day's voyage, all that could be seen along the way were broken walls and ruined ramparts.

There were divine mountains cleaved in half at the waist, their cuts smooth as mirrors, still entwined with an undying Sword Intent; there were stars whose essence had been utterly drained, turned into giant dry bones, the billions of living beings that once inhabited them long reduced to cosmic dust.

It seems the outer region has indeed been swept clean.

Hun Yuan Xue leaned against the ship's rail, her scarlet long robe snapping in the void's strong wind, and on her haughty face a rare hint of boredom appeared.

Behind her, Gu Yuan remained his usual silent self, his calm gaze sweeping over the apocalyptic scene outside the window, while his mind raced with calculations.

To others these shattered worlds were ruins, but to his divine kingdom they were prime nourishment.

By devouring these fragments containing different laws, he could greatly enrich the legal diversity of his inner world and accelerate the evolution of his divine kingdom.

"It's a pity, but now is not the time." Gu Yuan suppressed the thought in his heart.

……

One day later, just as Gu Yuan was seeking a chance to leave the immortal vessel,

Boom——!!!

An indescribable terrifying surge erupted without warning from the deepest part of the nebula, like a celestial dragon turning over, instantly sweeping across the entire True Immortal Battlefield!

This was not a mere energy shock, but a higher‑level upheaval originating from the stratum of the Grand Dao's laws!

Crack! Crack!

The void around the immortal vessel, like a fragile mirror, shattered inch by inch, revealing the deep, terrifying black fissures beyond.

Countless spatial turbulences condensed from shattered laws turned into the sharpest blades, frenziedly slicing the immortal vessel's defensive light curtain.

"What's happening?!"

"This pressure…… there's an Immortal King!"

Inside the vessel, the nine Hun clan heavenly pride's faces all changed; they rose, activated their immortal energy, and steadied the shaking immortal vessel.

And the natives from the Eleventh Land were even more paralyzed by this sudden heavenly might, their souls trembling, unable to even twitch a finger.

"What's there to panic about?!"

A sharp shout rang out; Hun Yuan Xue's phoenix eyes narrowed, her lazy expression vanished, replaced by an unprecedented gravity.

Hum——

The enormous "Hun" character banner at the prow of the immortal vessel blazed with light, a domineering will surpassing ordinary Immortal Kings, tinged with the aura of a titan, suddenly awakening!

A dark‑gold light curtain spread from the immortal vessel, like an invisible giant hand, forcibly smoothing the surrounding chaotic spacetime laws and keeping those terrifying spatial turbulences outside.

Only when the terrifying surge emanating from the battlefield's depths gradually subsided did Hun Yuan Xue breathe a sigh of relief, yet her pretty face turned as ugly as it could get.

"Damn it! How could this be such a coincidence!" she muttered under her breath.

"Miss, this…… what is this?"

A Hun clan heavenly pride stepped forward, his heart still pounding, and asked.

"Someone has broken through the pass."

Hun Yuan Xue's voice was icy,

"Just now, within the True Immortal Battlefield, a new Immortal King was born."

These words caused everyone present to startle.

"How is that possible?!"

That heavenly pride cried out,

"The laws of the True Immortal Battlefield are chaotic and self‑contained; any outside Immortal King who tries to force entry will be suppressed by the battlefield's laws at great cost—even a Supreme Immortal King would not venture here unless absolutely necessary."

"It's not an outsider."

Hun Yuan Xue shook her head, a flicker of annoyance flashing in her eyes,

"Someone deliberately suppressed his cultivation to the peak of True Immortal, entered the battlefield, and then chose to break through here; thus the battlefield's laws would regard him as a 'native Immortal King,' not only avoiding suppression but actually gaining tremendous combat power from the battlefield's chaotic laws."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the crowd, and said coldly,

"In other words, among our opponents this time we have gained an Immortal King‑level old monster who is not bound by the rules and can freely strike at us True Immortals."

Everyone's hearts sank.

True Immortal and Immortal King differ by only a single character, yet the gap is heaven and earth.

Before an Immortal King who can act without restraint, their so‑called peerless heavenly prides are no different from lambs awaiting slaughter.

"Who exactly is it? Which faction does he belong to?"

"Hard to say, but whoever dares this must be a peak True Immortal with absolute confidence in his own Dao, and his backing must have prepared a foolproof contingency for him."

Hun Yuan Xue's gaze unconsciously swept toward the distant Thunder Emperor Clan and Myriad Demon Abyss, a flash of killing intent crossing her eyes.

"All of you, cheer up for Miss!"

She shouted sternly,

"What's one more Immortal King? Our plans aren't lacking for it! Pass the order—full speed ahead, target the Heaven‑delivering Palace! I want to see which clueless thing dares to block my way!"

That's right.

Such a situation has not been completely absent in past True Immortal Battlefields.

Or rather, it occurs almost every time the True Immortal Battlefield opens.

So, whether it's the Hun clan or the Thunder Emperor Clan, they all have corresponding contingency plans.

Recruitment, expulsion, slaughter, sealing, demotion……

Facing different situations, they can decide for themselves how to act.

But doing so would consume their precious trump cards.

So it's best not to use them, or…… let others use them!

The immortal vessel accelerated once more, turning into a stream of light that rushed into the nebula's depths.

Although there was a contingency plan, the atmosphere inside the vessel remained oppressive.

However, no one noticed that, during the violent upheaval of the laws just now, when everyone's minds were shaken by the aura of the newly ascended True Immortal King, Gu Yuan, sitting cross-legged in the corner, his shadow beneath his feet had undergone a barely perceptible twist.

An intangible thing, fainter than a shadow and lighter than void, silently separated from him and merged into the spatial rift outside the immortal vessel, vanishing without a trace.

…

At the same time.

The True Immortal battlefield, one of its core regions.

A cluster of ruined palaces floated silently in the endless chaos, standing still.

Here, is the Hall of Sending Heaven.

This barrier poses no hindrance to beings below the True Immortal King, but any entity possessing True Immortal King-level power that approaches will trigger the barrier's prohibition, inviting a destructive strike from the battlefield's laws.

This is why the immortal vessels of all major powers can only anchor outside the nebula, allowing the younger generation to enter on their own.

However, at this very moment, a figure, like a reflection passing through water, silently crossed that law barrier and stepped into the range of the Hall of Sending Heaven.

The newcomer wore a plain black cloak, hood covering his face, his whole person seeming to merge with the surrounding darkness, leaking not a trace of aura, not staining even a hint of karma.

It was Gu Yuan's true body.

He lifted his head and glanced at the shimmering law barrier behind him, then sensed the distant Chaos Family immortal vessel rapidly approaching, which would arrive in the time it takes to burn an incense stick; a barely perceptible arc curled at the corner of his mouth.

"The game, begins."
