Chapter 184: Indolence Deserves Ignorance, Blood Droplets Defeat the Enemy

The sudden return of a Supreme Sovereign had a significant impact on the entire Alien Domain.

Especially when many witnessed the Red King humbling himself, personally carrying the returned figure.

When the various factions first received the news, their reactions were all disbelief, thinking it was utter nonsense.

The world had no emperors. Even if someone had lived for an additional era or two, or had risen unexpectedly with deeper cultivation, as Immortal Kings, they all had their own pride and indomitable spirit.

Even in the face of Kundi, who was arguably the first among the Alien Domain, showing due respect was enough. It was impossible for him to become a mere mount, to be ridden by someone.

An emperor could not be disgraced!

Yet, when the various kings arrived at the ancestral grounds of the Time Beast clan, they found that the Red King had indeed brought back a great deity.

"To dare destroy the Ancient Receiving Palace and single-handedly kill an Immortal King mogul, could it be that a Supreme Sovereign who roamed the Boundary Sea has truly returned?"

"If so, it makes sense that the Red King would carry him back. After all, such an existence is rare even in the entire Boundary Sea."

"Unknown if she truly possesses such strength, but she will be here soon. I hope this doesn’t cause too much turmoil at this critical moment."

Each of the kings had their own thoughts, but on the surface, they maintained proper decorum. After all, the black-clad, white-haired woman had been personally carried back by the Red King.

Unless the Red King had gone mad and was just playing a trick on them, the woman’s strength could not be weak. At the very least, she was an outstanding mogul.

As for how strong she truly was, that would soon become clear.

Many couldn’t help but look at the woman seated on the throne.

She didn’t exude any special aura. Dressed in black, her pale hair hung loosely over her chest and back, surrounded by Chaos Mists, making her hard to see clearly.

Mysterious and inscrutable.

Shaohua didn’t pay much attention to these Immortal Kings, maintaining her aloof demeanor.

None of the Alien Domain kings present were moguls; they were just ordinary figures, at best on par with the peak Immortal Kings. To her, they were insignificant.

"Pity I can’t act freely, otherwise..." she thought to herself.

Killing a few Fallen Immortal Kings or Lost Immortal Kings from the Boundary Sea wasn’t a big deal. She was not bound by the laws of this time and space, and was immune to most of the backlash from the universe and time.

The remaining part was concealed by the Lifesoil mist and the separation of her body and soul. As long as her Soul Essence was hidden in the Lifesoil, who would know she was a time traveler?

In a sense, she was like a "corpse" infused with the aura of the River of Time, moving around.

Throughout, she used only her physical strength. Her divine techniques and spells were stored in her Soul Essence, which she dared not reveal easily.

Otherwise, the three Immortal Kings she killed would have had their Soul Essences completely destroyed, leaving nothing behind.

"Here he comes."

Suddenly, Shaohua raised her gaze and saw a large pot descending from the sky.

As expected, Kundi had arrived.

"Who are you, and why have I never heard of you?" Kundi demanded.

As the first in the Alien Domain, he had made unimaginable preparations to attack the Primordial Ancient Realm and secure the key to the Primordial Ancient Artifact. He had already worn down the opposing forces and was ready to launch the final assault.

Now, a so-called Supreme Sovereign, unheard of, suddenly returned from the depths of the Boundary Sea. He needed to know her intentions.

With the current strength of the Alien Domain, they could conquer the Primordial Ancient World without the need for another powerful entity.

Moreover, some who had lingered too long in the depths of the Boundary Sea had changed in temperament. Who knew what this person thought of the current Alien Domain?

At this critical moment, Kundi could not allow any unforeseen events to occur.

"Haha, what are you, to ask for my name?" Shaohua said calmly, her voice clear and detached.

"I’m too lazy to talk to you, and you’re not worthy to hear it."

However, everyone could sense the immense authority hidden beneath her calm demeanor, inviolable and sacred!

As soon as her words faded, she suddenly extended her hand and struck a palm, causing the Ten Thousand Gu Celestial Vault to collapse.

Kundi was not weak; in the Alien Domain, he was also considered a Supreme Sovereign. However, compared to the true Supreme Sovereigns who roamed the Boundary Sea, he still fell short.

There were differences even among Supreme Sovereigns!

A Supreme Sovereign in the Alien Domain was different from one who roamed the Boundary Sea.

Even if Shaohua could only use her physical strength, she was confident she could handle this old man.

She couldn’t act freely in this time, but that didn’t mean she wouldn’t defend herself when attacked.

No matter what the consequences, she would strike first; she couldn’t afford to lose the momentum!

Kundi’s body was slender and withered, not particularly tall, with silver hair that gleamed brightly.

His eyes were unique, with silver crosses as pupils. He glared and slashed a cross-shaped crack, also breaking through the Ten Thousand Gu Celestial Vault.

"A battle in the Boundary Sea!"

Kundi said solemnly. For their level of power, a battle would devastate the world, so fighting in the Boundary Sea was the best choice to avoid any unexpected outcomes.

He also understood that this battle was inevitable. The other party’s intentions were unclear, and she was likely not here with good intentions. Only by winning could he maintain his supreme status.

Shaohua didn’t think much about it. She just felt that since she had come, even if she couldn’t kill freely, giving him a good lesson would not be in vain.

"Just because I returned from the Boundary Sea, you think I’ll go back there just because you say so?"

Shaohua sneered, her eyes flashing. "You have white hair too, perhaps you are my descendant. Good grandson, come and pay your respects to your great-aunt!"

"Hisss~~~" The Alien Domain kings were shocked, their hearts racing as they sucked in dark matter.

Many looked at the Red King, who had stiffened, with a hint of pity in their eyes. So, this is how your ancestor came to be.

Kundi, hearing this, was instantly enraged.

Thus, the battle erupted without any doubt.

"Boom!!!"

The earth-shattering battle shook the entire Alien Domain. All the Immortal Kings were awakened, their true forms revealed, and they worked together to stabilize the realm, preventing it from being destroyed by the aftermath of the battle.

Even though they didn’t directly participate, they were still filled with dread.

These two were too powerful. As soon as they clashed, the River of Time appeared.

Shaohua faced off against Kundi with her bare hands. Her slender, delicate body emitted a sound like the roaring of mountains and seas, as if the Boundary Sea was surging, unleashing unimaginable might.

The two clashed for only a few rounds, yet the battle shook heaven and earth, threatened to collapse the universe, and even made time seem to reverse.

Kundi tried to drag Shaohua into the Boundary Sea, but she refused to comply, causing several border cities to be destroyed by the aftershocks of their struggle, devastating the Alien Domain.

This suited Shaohua just fine. She enjoyed causing trouble for the Alien Domain, and they couldn't even dare to say anything about it, which made her even more comfortable.

"I see, so your Soul Essence is injured, and you want to retreat to recover. Perhaps in your prime, you could have bested me, but not now."

Kundi believed he had seen through Shaohua's true state. Continuing the fight would only lead to mutual destruction, so he made a concession:

"Let's call it quits. We are not enemies. You can rest and recover here. Once I retrieve the key to the Primordial Ancient Artifact, we can study it together. What do you say?"

Shaohua couldn't help but look at the old man with a newfound respect. With such an opponent, it was no wonder the Primordial Ancient World had been shattered.

If she were truly from the Alien Domain and her Soul Essence were truly injured, she might have been swayed by his words. But unfortunately, she wasn't.

"Take this sword first!"

Shaohua's white hair danced wildly, her demeanor incredibly defiant, and her smile almost devilish and wild.

She stood in the mist, in an eternal and ethereal realm, flawless and unblemished, with not a single crease in her clothing.

She deliberately prolonged the fight, destroying large areas of the Alien Domain, but continuing it would have been overdoing it.

Then, a drop of blood, shimmering with Fourteen-Colored Immortal Radiance, dripped from her fingertip and transformed into a terrifying Bloodsword.

"Clang!"

The drop of blood contained no divine powers or techniques, only the most primal strength of her physical body.

The blood-colored immortal sword rose into the sky, ringing out, slicing through the heavens and severing the path of the Dao.

"Whoosh!"

Millions of sword beams converged into a brilliant sword light, like the first ray of dawn before the creation of the world, or a cascade of star rivers descending. The overwhelming killing intent shook the ancient cosmos, engulfing Kundi.

This sword strike was unparalleled, crossing time and space in an instant. As Kundi activated his divine powers, he felt a piercing pain in his heart, sensing a fatal crisis.

Kundi's face turned pale with shock, his wounds aching.

He had no time to think and immediately summoned the Immortal Smelting Gourd to shield himself, radiating divine light.

"Boom!"

The Immortal Smelting Gourd was split in two and then shattered, some fragments falling into the Alien Domain, piercing through many divine mountains and giant peaks, while others flew into the depths of the Boundary Sea and still others vanished into the River of Time.

Blood splattered, and Kundi retreated, clutching his severed arm, losing the radiant aura he once had.

"This can't be! You actually reached that level, attempting to break through to the Emperor realm and still survived?!" Kundi was both shocked and furious.

He was a figure of great stature, hailed as the first in the Alien Domain, yet he had been disarmed by a single drop of blood. He never imagined the other party would be so formidable.

Had he known, he would never have rashly attacked such a terrifying opponent. It was truly unwise.

But then again, it was the other party who struck first.

Thinking of this, his expression changed again. This person was unpredictable, making the situation even more complicated.

"Senior Kundi actually lost", an Immortal King exclaimed, still in disbelief.

"How many colors was that blood light?"

Another person was even more terrified, trembling as he said, "Immortal King blood is only five colors, and even a major figure has only seven. How could there be true blood with more than nine colors?!"

All the Immortal Kings, especially Kundi, who was closest, could see clearly. This shattered their preconceived notions.

Time seemed to stand still.

Shaohua stood like a demon god high in the heavens, her flawless and beautiful face filled with coldness.

"You think you can fathom the methods of my Dao Ancestor?"

She quickly reacted, inwardly amused. They were all dumbfounded.

She was just one step away from becoming a true Dao Ancestor. Announcing it early wouldn't be a problem.

The issue of the true blood's color was actually a beautiful misunderstanding. After all, they were from different eras and practiced entirely different methods.

Shaohua could cultivate fourteen-colored true blood because she was the founder of the Dao, allowing her to possess this trait.

According to her calculations, once she reached the Immortal Emperor realm, she would have fifteen colors, corresponding to the union of nine yin and six yang.

Kundi's expression was unpredictable, and in the end, he chose to secretly negotiate with Shaohua, paying a huge price to quell her anger.

Of course, the repercussions of this battle were far from over. Not only the Alien Domain, but even the Primordial Ancient World and the Immortal Domain had heard of it.

"A powerful ancient existence has returned from the depths of the Boundary Sea to the Alien Domain. It is said that this might be an ancient figure from the Imperial Fall Era, even Kundi is no match for it, and it is unpredictable and extremely fierce."

In the Primordial Ancient World, the Sixfold Wheel of Samsara Immortal King sighed.

"Alas, can this calamity truly be avoided?"

"I have a feeling that this might not necessarily be a disaster, but—" the Endless Immortal King opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

What difference would one more person or one less make to the outcome?

One had touched the cycle of rebirth, and the other practiced the art of time, long knowing the fate of this world. Even if they were unwilling, they couldn't change the destined outcome.

Shaohua, unaware of what the people in the other world were thinking, brazenly occupied Kundi's lair, plundering all the treasures and scriptures.

She then went on to "visit" each Immortal King, forcefully extorting various ancient scriptures and divine techniques.

Finally, she used ninety-nine divine mountains she had picked up to construct a colossal mountain peak, towering above the clouds, and withdrew from the world.

Kundi naturally assumed that this was due to her injured Soul Essence, desperately seeking a cure. He believed she would fail to solve her Soul Essence issues, and the stolen treasures would eventually return to him.

Other Immortal Kings tried to visit, but they were all turned away. Only the Red King received special treatment, allowed to enter the mountain. Upon his return, he broke through to the major figure realm, shocking the entire Alien Domain.

In truth, the Red King was already on the verge of breaking through, and Shaohua hadn't provided any significant help. He simply endured a beating to avoid being killed, and breaking through was a natural result.

After this incident, the "Ancient Ancestor of Radiant Time" once again became a legend in the Alien Domain, with countless people eager to pay homage.

Before the Red King left, Shaohua gave him a serious piece of advice.

"In the previous battle, I glimpsed a potential future where something unfavorable might happen to this world. Remember this well."

The Red King was taken aback, not daring to be careless. He took this very seriously and planned to find a few Immortal Kings to study the matter together.
