Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 431: Chapter 427: Earth-shattering Upheaval, Sun and Moon Appear Together

It was now the thirty-fifth day since the battle in the Underground Palace Realm.

"Have you all noticed something’s off with the world lately?"

Outside the Ancient Forbidden Land, a large crowd of Martial Artists lingered. They refused to leave until Ning Jiang appeared.

And just recently, they had started to notice that something was amiss.

"The temperature difference between day and night is growing wider. The days are as hot as a furnace, and the nights are as cold as an ice cave. We Martial Artists have strong bodies, so we’re not afraid of such changes, but isn’t this all a bit too strange?"

"Something’s definitely wrong. I’ve never experienced anything like this. Could the world be on the verge of a great change?"

"If it is a great change, it will likely be something earth-shattering."

A buzz of discussion spread through the crowd.

And such discussions weren’t just happening in the Six Eastern Provinces.

Even far beyond the Six Eastern Provinces, countless beings throughout the entire Great Thousand Realms felt this strange temperature fluctuation between day and night.

Many felt uneasy about this change, sensing that something big was about to happen.

The only question was whether this would be a good thing... or a bad one.

"Let the tall ones hold up the sky if it falls. Even if some terrible disaster strikes, it’s not our place to worry about it."

"That’s right. If the Great Thousand Realms really undergoes some change, that’s something only Celestial Martial Realm Kings are qualified to worry about. What does it have to do with us?"

Although they were aware of the great anomaly in the world, most Martial Artists understood that without sufficient strength, worrying about it was pointless.

For the people at the Ancient Forbidden Land, their primary concern was still when Ning Jiang would emerge.

And so, they waited as the days passed.

The temperature difference between day and night grew ever wider. Eventually, even Martial Artists began to feel the physical strain. The days felt like being roasted over a fire, searingly hot, while the nights were bone-chillingly cold, making sleep impossible.

Martial Artists with weaker Cultivation could barely withstand the temperature shifts and were in immense pain.

Meanwhile, beyond the Six Eastern Provinces.

The vast East Sea.

The azure surface of the water began to BUBBLE and GURGLE. The entire sea seemed to be boiling, radiating a terrifying heat. As far as the eye could see, countless dead fish and shrimp floated on the surface.

But when night fell, the sea began to freeze solid, becoming harder than stone. The entire East Sea transformed into a frozen wasteland, its countless creatures frozen to death.

"At this rate, all the fish, shrimp, and shellfish in the East Sea will be wiped out within a few days."

"Have you found anything? What in the world is happening to the Great Thousand Realms?"

Several figures converged in the sky.

They radiated a rolling majesty. With their Divine Sense blanketing the area, they could clearly perceive the shocking changes in the East Sea.

"It’s not just our East Sea. The other major seas are experiencing the same phenomenon. This is a cataclysmic event spreading across the entire Great Thousand Realms!"

"Right now, the various powers in the East Sea are in a state of panic."

"In the five thousand years since I became a King, I have seen countless celestial omens, but never a cataclysm like this, one that has spread across the entire Great Thousand Realms. A sight like this unnerves even me, to say nothing of ordinary Martial Artists."

"Gentlemen, what is your assessment? Is this change a blessing or a curse?"

"Blessings and curses are determined by fate. Not even we Celestial Martial Realm Kings can predict the outcome of something like this."

"The workings of heaven are unfathomable."

The figures all shook their heads and sighed.

Even beings as powerful as Celestial Martial Realm Kings felt helpless before a cataclysm that engulfed the entire Great Thousand Realms.

The Great Thousand Realms is vast and boundless. Not even the legendary Venerables could explore its entirety, let alone Kings like them.

"The temperature fluctuations have no effect on us Kings, but they bring suffering to the countless creatures of the East Sea."

One of the Kings sighed, unable to bear the sight of countless creatures dying in the East Sea each day.

Moreover, they could sense that on the countless islands of the East Sea, the human inhabitants were living in constant fear. A tide of panic was spreading rapidly.

In just the last few days, a rumor had even begun to circulate.

It said the apocalypse was near, that the end had come for the Great Thousand Realms, and that the entire world was about to be destroyed.

Fueled by the people’s anxiety, this rumor quickly took root and spread like wildfire.

...

Deep beneath the East Sea.

Within a magnificent palace, a gaze seemed to awaken from a long slumber.

Immediately after, a mighty voice rang out, spreading rapidly until it enveloped the entire East Sea!

"The world is in upheaval, heralding a spectacle unseen in ages. Do not panic."

The voice echoed in the ears of every person in the East Sea, carrying a miraculous, calming effect. The panic in their hearts instantly subsided.

Meanwhile, high in the sky, the pupils of the Celestial Martial Realm Kings contracted sharply when they heard the voice.

"It’s that Lord!"

"I heard that Lord has been in a long slumber. Was even he awakened this time?"

The Celestial Martial Realm Kings exchanged glances. Clearly, the owner of this voice had an astonishing background. As they stood in shock, the voice rose again from the depths of the sea:

"They say one cannot fight against heaven, but I refuse to believe it. To contend with heaven is an endless joy!"

The moment the voice rang out, a vast and magnificent Power spread forth.

Before the horrified eyes of the Celestial Martial Realm Kings, the boiling East Sea calmed completely in just a few breaths.

"That Lord is single-handedly fighting back against this cataclysm!"

"To be able to quell the boiling of the entire East Sea with his power alone... Is this the might of a Celestial King? It’s simply unfathomable!"

"Legend says that above the Celestial Kings, there are those with Ten-Stars Combat Power, who are called ’living legends.’ I wonder if it’s true."

"I find that hard to believe. The Four Great Kings of this era are already the absolute pinnacle of power among Kings. It should be impossible for anyone to surpass them."

"With a Celestial King intervening to protect the East Sea, there shouldn’t be any more casualties."

Feeling the immense Power that now permeated the entire East Sea, the Celestial Martial Realm Kings were filled with respect and bowed reverently toward its source.

「At the same time, at the Ancient Forbidden Land.」

"What the hell is with this cursed weather? Why is it getting worse?"

The crowd of Martial Artists grumbled, many finding it unbearable.

’What is the cause of this cataclysm?’ the Seven Great Kings wondered from high in the sky.

Slowly, the days passed. It was now the forty-fifth day.

「In the Underground Palace Realm.」

Ning Jiang’s tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open, shining with an unprecedented divine light. "Three years of waiting... the time is finally here!"

The very moment he spoke.

Outside, across the entire Great Thousand Realms, countless beings witnessed a sight they would never forget!

High above the Nine Heavens, the Sun and Moon Appeared Together.

In that instant, the Great Thousand Realms fell silent!
