The black hole near the blazing sun was dark and unfathomably deep, like a tightly closed eye overlooking the myriad worlds.
The combined attacks of the many Dao Realm elders of the Imperial Immortal Palace fell into it like stones sinking into the deep sea, not even stirring a ripple.
This was a scene that made one's heart tremble. Even ancient great worlds would be annihilated by such power.
But the black hole seemed eternal and indestructible, capable of devouring all energy.
Ling Yuxian refused to give up. Even her brow had turned crystalline, and faintly, a blurry goddess seemed to stand behind her.
She was sensing the aura of her sister, Ling Yuling, trying to see if she could establish a connection at this moment.
The origin of that black hole was unknown, but it was terrifyingly powerful, as if it could devour all things in the heavens.
If it truly existed, then the gate leading to the Jing Clan's territory would be impossible to open.
Jing Xiao and Jing Xiang were completely stunned at this moment.
The combined efforts of the many elders of the Imperial Immortal Palace had failed to suppress that gate. Such a thing was simply unbelievable.
"Is this really the territory of the Jing Clan?"
Even Jing Xiao began to doubt, unable to believe it.
Jing Xiang also started to waver, his eyes wide. After all, it was the voice claiming to be the distant ancestor of the Jing Clan who had told him this. Could he have been lying? Was this not the territory of the Jing Clan at all?
"Even the protective formations of the immortal-level sects in the Prime-Origin Civilization are far less astonishing than this."
"This place is likely not the territory of the Jing Clan but something else entirely."
Gu Changge remained silent, a faint, enigmatic smile playing on his lips.
Ling Yuxian naturally noticed this, but she was too preoccupied to care.
"Whether this is the Jing Clan's territory or not, I must open it now," she said firmly.
She quickly sent a message, contacting several ancient figures from the Imperial Immortal Palace, individuals who had lived for countless years. Among them were a few who had overcome the Seventh Heavenly Decline Tribulation and were Ancestral Dao Realm existences.
Now, she could only rely on them to take action and see if they could break through the defenses here.
Soon, ripples spread through the surrounding void, and several figures emerged, as if standing in ancient times, overlooking the present, transcending all Daos, and causing space-time to stagnate.
Their faces were blurred, obscured by Dao runes, with chaotic mist cascading down to cover their entire bodies. They did not exist in the present or the future, as if they were outside the flow of time.
The eyes of these figures were deep and vast, seemingly capable of penetrating the essence and truth of all things, containing boundless majesty.
These were true Ancestral Dao Realm existences. In the distant mythological era, they were known as Dao Ancestors, capable of spreading teachings, establishing laws, and creating cultivation systems.
On their bodies, the aura of the Great Dao was so dense that it was as if true Dao Ancestors had descended upon the world.
Now, as they took action simultaneously, the heavens roared, and billions of techniques resonated. The river of time itself was evaporated, and their majesty reached its peak.
The scene at that location was no longer clear. A sea of chaotic energy surged, a sight rarely seen in ancient or modern times…
The boundless universe trembled under their power, and countless living beings knelt in worship, their hearts and courage on the verge of shattering.
The black hole was directly struck, and its edges finally began to blur. Faintly, the sound of something breaking could be heard.
At the same time, behind it, the outline of a blurry gate slowly began to emerge…
The blazing sun that had hung high in the sky completely shattered, exploding into countless fragments before being evaporated. The entire Ancient Domain of Shengyang was plunged into darkness.
Gu Changge watched this scene, his mind slightly stirred.
Behind that gate, although the Sixfold Celestial Abyss Armor he wanted to retrieve was not there, there was another aura that felt familiar to him.
He had speculated about this earlier, and now that the gate had cracked slightly, it finally confirmed his suspicions about what was happening here.
What had been a casual act left behind countless epochs ago had, through evolution and fermentation over time, become an unexpected delight.
"The gate is about to open…"
Ling Yuxian's face also showed a look of joy. Several Ancestral Dao Realm existences had taken action, their power enough to shake the entire Prime-Origin Civilization.
But she no longer cared about the consequences that might follow.
Within the vast and turbulent great world, chaotic auras filled the air, murky and turbid, as if they had been left behind since the creation of heaven and earth.
Fragments of shattered universes were washed by this chaotic aura, producing sounds like roaring mountains and surging seas, as if multiple great worlds were colliding.
This was an ancient, dead space-time, with pale gray clouds drifting everywhere in the heavens and earth.
Mountains and desolate plains lay in eternal silence. Many places had massive cracks, as if slashed by a peerless divine sword, filled with dense black mist.
Deep within this great world stood an ancient tower, eighteen stories tall, majestic and weathered, radiating a faint blue light.
"Who dares to attack the barrier of this place?"
At this moment, a slightly shaken voice came from the bottom floor of the tower…
Someone opened their eyes and looked toward the tower, their face filled with shock.
On each floor of the tower, many figures sat in meditation.
Their bodies were surrounded by an ancient aura, and some seemed as if they had not moved for countless years, covered in dust.
Now, as someone exclaimed in surprise, some of these figures slowly opened their eyes and looked toward the outside world.
In that direction, the sky had become transparent, and a mist-like substance was surging and spreading, continuously advancing toward this place.
At the same time, thunderous sounds like heavenly drums echoed from outside this vast world, shaking heaven and earth.
Even here, rumbling sounds like the stirring of an earth dragon could be heard.
"What's happening…?"
Many figures within the tower were startled, all turning their gazes in that direction…
They saw one after another dazzling pillar of light cutting through the void, continuously striking the sky. Terrifying energy exploded, causing countless spiderweb-like cracks to appear.
The entire sky seemed like glass about to shatter, teetering on the brink.
From within the tower, one shocked gaze after another looked out. Many even stood up abruptly, their emotions stirred.
"Someone is trying to break the barrier of the Land of Eternal Life. Could it be that our clansmen from the outside world are trying to help us escape?"
"Could it be that the day of our return to the light is finally here?"
The faces of these figures looked extremely ancient and weathered, covered in wrinkles, their hair white as if a gust of wind could blow them over.
But now, they were filled with excitement and anticipation, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope.
Their originally dim and turbid old eyes suddenly shone with light.
