C2572 CHAPTER2572
Located tens of thousands of light-years to the southeast of the Divine Realm, this universe was a bastion of martial arts civilization. The Canglan Universe boasted a wealth of martial arts prowess, with innumerable powerhouses in the Dominator Realm and even multiple Immortals in pursuit of the Dao.
The preeminent force in the Canglan Universe was the Canglan Saint Sect, whose strength and foundations were profoundly inscrutable. Throughout its storied history, the sect had produced three ancestors who reached the Immortal Realm and ascended successfully.
Indeed, the Navy Tide Saint Sect's standing within the Navy Tide Universe could be considered even more significant than that of the Chaos Origin Sword Sect in the Immortal Breaking Universe.
Within the Navy Tide Saint Sect's Main Hall, a middle-aged man, garbed in a long robe adorned with a blue dragon pattern and radiating an overwhelming presence, sat elevated upon the central throne. This man was none other than the Grandmaster of the Navy Tide Sacred Clan, Cang Yunhai. His grim expression and the frigid aura that enveloped him caused the assembly of Chief Sovereigns in the hall to feel an almost suffocating pressure.
Time seemed to stand still until Cang Yunhai's voice, devoid of any warmth, shattered the silence.
"Not long ago, five Domain-level experts from our Canglan Sacred Sect, led by Cang Lanyue, fell during their assault on the Divine Realm. Additionally, the Water Cloud Sacred Sect has reported the loss of the three Martial Path Domain-level experts they dispatched to provide assistance."
These revelations visibly shook everyone present. The Divine Realm, much like their own Canglan Universe, was a martial arts civilization universe.
According to their intelligence, the Divine Realm's zenith of power was scarcely less than that of the Canglan Universe.
However, a cataclysmic war between the Divine Realm and an immortal cultivation universe led to the former's downfall, relegating it to a fragment of a universe fated for destruction.
It was only over the past decade that the Realm of the Gods began to claw its way back from the brink of annihilation.
The current might of the Divine Realm was but a shadow of its past glory, with the strength of its Hegemon Realm now so diminished it could be counted on one hand.
Several months ago, Cangluan reported that five Domination Realm powerhouses were sufficient to overpower the Divine Realm. However, they struggled to penetrate the Divine Realm's defenses quickly. They requested reinforcements from the Canglan Universe to help secure a decisive victory.
In response, after consultation with the Water Cloud Saint Sect, the sect deployed three Chief Sovereigns to lead a support team.
The assumption was clear: with the backing of the Water Cloud Sacred Clan's three Chief Sovereigns, Canglang and his allies were expected to easily overcome the God Realm.
But the reality was starkly different.
The situation had spiraled beyond their wildest predictions. Cangluan, along with the other five Chief Sovereigns from the Canglan Saint Sect, and the three Chief Sovereigns from the Shuiyun Saint Sect, had all perished. All eight Chief Sovereigns had been utterly vanquished.
What catastrophe had befallen them in the Divine Realm? How had it managed to annihilate all eight Martial Dao Chief Sovereigns from the Canglan Universe?
"Sect Master, it seems the Divine Realm is far more complex than we anticipated. We may need to reconsider our strategy for attacking it," a white-haired elder at the pinnacle of the Ruler's Realm advised gravely.
The eight Chief Sovereigns, including Cangluan, were equivalent to mid-level Chief Sovereigns in combat prowess. Even for someone of his formidable strength, dispatching all eight would be no simple feat.
"A long-term plan?" he mused aloud. "Our Canglan Sacred Clan's venerable ancestor issued an immortal decree, commanding us to conquer the Divine Realm by any means necessary and to locate the Longevity Immortal Palace that has fallen within its bounds. How can we ignore such a mandate?"
Cang Yunhai rose abruptly from his throne, his voice cutting through the silence of the hall like a blade. "Prepare yourselves at once. This time, I shall personally lead the charge into the Divine Realm!"
...
In the Divine Realm, within the Starry Sky Giant City, tranquility had returned. Since Peter Parker's triumphant defense against the Canglan Universe's invaders, peace had been restored to the Giant Starry Sky City.
Yet, an undercurrent of uncertainty lingered...
Everyone was acutely aware that the current peace was merely a brief respite. The Canglan Universe had sustained heavy losses in the Divine Realm, with eight Chief Sovereign Realm powerhouses fallen. They were unlikely to let this go unchallenged.
Moreover, should the Canglan Universe return, it was expected that their power would be even more formidable. In anticipation of their resurgence, denizens of the Divine Realm were fervently honing their skills, eager to bolster their strength.
Jian Wuxin, along with other half-step Sovereign Realm elites, had sequestered themselves for intense cultivation, striving to reach the Sovereign Realm. Peter Parker was no exception; he diligently worked to enhance his Sovereign Divine Power.
Three months into his rigorous training, Peter Parker's Sovereign Divine Power hit a ceiling, showing no signs of further growth. Despite this plateau, a breakthrough still eluded him.
"I've seemingly maxed out the potential of the Sovereign Realm. The next step is the Eternal Realm, but how do I achieve that breakthrough?" Peter Parker pondered aloud.
Historically, reaching the pinnacle of one realm would trigger a system prompt to advance to the next. Yet, upon hitting the Sovereign Realm's zenith, the system remained silent, leaving Peter puzzled.
The Immortal Realm, as understood within the Immortal cultivation system, was where one ascended upon breakthrough. Without any cues from the God Domain at the Sovereign Realm's peak, it was plausible that the Immortal World remained undetected, preventing the Immortal Tribulation from initiating the transcendence to immortality.
The Eternal Realm, even during the Ancient Era of the God Domain, was shrouded in myth. Few, if any, had ever known someone to enter this legendary domain.
"It seems I must seek an audience with the Heavenly Axiom of the God Realm," Peter resolved, his gaze intensifying. In a swift motion, he vanished from the Star Colossus and reappeared in the God Realm. At the pinnacle of the Sovereign Realm, Peter Parker could traverse any part of the Divine Realm in an instant, guided by mere thought.
Peter Parker stepped forward, materializing within the Longevity Immortal Palace.
"Heavenly Dao, I'm aware that you should be awake by now. Show yourself," he called out.
With a confident stance, Peter Parker waited outside the main hall, hands clasped behind him. His voice, cool and detached, reverberated through the still air.
Buzz!
In response to his summons, the atmosphere quivered with a peculiar energy. Suddenly, a youth clad in simple white garments materialized before Peter Parker.
The youth stood silently, an enigmatic presence surrounding him, inscrutable as if he were one with the cosmos.
"Peter Parker, at last, we meet. Despite my prolonged slumber since the titanic clash with the Immortal Breaking Universe, I have always been faintly aware of your presence," the youth said, his smile gentle.
"I owe you my gratitude. Without you, the Divine Realm might not be what it is today."
"Formalities are unnecessary. As a denizen of the Divine Realm, it's only natural that I contribute to its welfare," Peter Parker replied, shaking his head.
He then fixed his gaze on the youth and continued, "I've sought you out today because I need your insight on a matter. I'm hoping you can offer me some guidance."
