After Di Kun killed Chu Xiao, his figure transformed into a pitch-black sun. With a flap of his wings, he pierced through the universe and left the Southern Wilderness Ancient Domain.
The area was left in ruins. Mountains collapsed, rivers were severed, and all the lakes were dried up.
Further away, the land was barren and blackened, completely stripped of life.
This devastation was caused by just a wisp of the dispersed aura. The distant regions were even more severely affected, with no intact areas remaining.
As the bloody mist scattered in the air, Chu Xiao's true spirit was burned to ashes by the True Sunfire, leaving nothing behind.
All the cultivators and beings who witnessed this were deeply shaken and trembling in fear.
From afar, many figures rushed over and stood silently for a long time. The scene before them filled them with horror, sending chills down their spines.
In the coming days, the Prime-Origin Civilization would undoubtedly face great turmoil. Given Chu Gucheng's vengeful nature, he would never let this matter rest.
Moreover, the Demon Court's aggressive stance was evident. They had gone so far as to descend here to exact revenge on the Immortal Chu Dynasty.
The Immortal Chu Dynasty would definitely send powerful experts to investigate the cause and consequences of this incident. The Southern Wilderness Ancient Domain would also be dragged into the conflict.
Many cultivators were worried that the Immortal Chu Dynasty might blame them for not stepping in to save Chu Xiao.
The consequences of such an event were not something ordinary people could bear. However, even the Dao Realm elder from the Immortal Chu Dynasty had failed to protect Chu Xiao. Others who might have wanted to help would likely have been powerless.
Tonight, for the Southern Wilderness Ancient Domain, was destined to be a sleepless one. Countless cultivators and beings were discussing the matter.
The spies of various forces in the Southern Wilderness Ancient Domain quickly spread the news, causing a huge uproar in other universes and worlds of the Prime-Origin Civilization.
Purple Return City was also in turmoil. Almost no cultivator could remain calm.
The prodigies of top-tier forces like Purple Dew Mountain, the Imperial Immortal Palace, the Divine Ascension Cavern, and the Temple of Light and Darkness were equally shocked.
Zi Yunchuan, Zhao Tianfan, Mingying Daoist, Fairy Caiyun, and others were immediately questioned by their respective forces about what had happened.
After all, they had previously had some conflicts with Chu Xiao.
To some extent, the exposure of Chu Xiao's identity was related to them.
It was inevitable that the Immortal Chu Dynasty might link this matter to them.
Of course, this didn't mean that their forces feared the Immortal Chu Dynasty.
They simply didn't want to get involved in unnecessary trouble at this time, stirring up trouble for no reason.
During this period, the most frequently asked questions were about Gu Changge.
Many forces were trying to figure out his identity, origins, and background.
However, the information they gathered was vague and unclear.
Zi Yun'er, Zhao Tianfan, and others didn't dare to speak carelessly. Only under persistent questioning from their elders did they reluctantly reveal some information, speculating that Gu Changge might have come from the legendary Forbidden and Mysterious Lands.
This news quickly spread among the top-tier forces, causing a great sensation.
For the Prime-Origin Civilization, the legendary Forbidden and Mysterious Lands had always been shrouded in mystery, unknown to the world.
Only the most ancient texts and jade slips contained fragmentary records of them.
Even forces like Purple Dew Mountain and the Imperial Immortal Palace had limited knowledge of these places.
They only knew that in extremely ancient times, many End of the Path-level existences from various forces and traditions, upon realizing that their lifespans were nearing their end and their paths cut off, would set out to search for these Forbidden and Mysterious Lands, hoping to find a new path and live another life.
However, whether those ancient predecessors who went to seek a new path lived or died, or whether they succeeded in finding a new path, remained unknown.
The reason these places were called Forbidden and Mysterious Lands was largely due to their extreme danger and strangeness. They were considered taboo, places that should not be entered.
These realms did not exist within the known world but floated in the Ethereal Land Beyond the Worlds, a lawless and heavenless place.
Ordinary people could not reach them. If someone accidentally stumbled into such a place, they would face certain death and despair.
Of course, in ancient times, there had been figures who emerged from the Forbidden and Mysterious Lands.
Only the most ancient clans and forces of the Prime-Origin Civilization had interacted with such individuals.
There were speculations that these forces and clans had gained immense benefits from these interactions and had even reached certain agreements with those places.
Compared to the current conflict between the Immortal Chu Dynasty and the Demon Court, the top-tier forces were clearly more interested in Gu Changge, who was suspected to have come from the Forbidden and Mysterious Lands.
Upon receiving this news, many forces immediately sent powerful experts to the Southern Wilderness Ancient Domain, hoping to visit Gu Changge and inquire about the Forbidden and Mysterious Lands.
These forces did not dare to act recklessly, as the information they had gathered indicated that Gu Changge was accompanied by a terrifying servant whose cultivation was close to the Ancestral Dao Realm.
Such a figure would be treated as an honored guest in any top-tier force, requiring utmost respect.
Yet, this person served as a mere servant to Gu Changge.
This led to widespread speculation among various forces and traditions.
The news from the Southern Wilderness Ancient Domain spread rapidly, especially with the deliberate push from various forces. It soon reached the Immortal Chu Dynasty and the Endless Demon Domain.
Far away, in the Immortal Chu Dynasty's capital, Chu Wang City, a earth-shaking roar erupted.
All the cultivators and beings in the area couldn't help but tremble and kneel in its direction.
Countless stars in the sky seemed to tremble and shatter under the force of this roar.
A majestic and towering figure suddenly appeared at the horizon. He wore a dark robe, exuding an awe-inspiring aura. Around him, the light of countless worlds shimmered, as if three thousand Great Thousand Worlds were bowing to him. His figure seemed even taller than the universe itself, revered by heaven and earth.
However, at this moment, this figure was furious. His hair stood on end, his eyes were bloodshot, and his killing intent surged like boundless waves, threatening to tear apart the heavens.
All the cultivators and beings in Chu Wang City were filled with terror, kneeling toward that direction.
Many didn't know what had happened. Why had the usually calm and dignified ruler, Chu Gucheng, acted so out of character, roaring as if to shatter the sky and shake the heavens?
They had never seen Chu Gucheng behave like this before.
This showed just how deeply grieved and furious he was.
"My son…"
After a long time, the figure let out a sorrowful sigh, and his Dao Law Avatar gradually dissipated.
