Chapter 1257: Chapter 538 The Immortal World Perishes, All Immortals Vanish!_2 Chapter 1257: Chapter 538 The Immortal World Perishes, All Immortals Vanish!_2 As beings who have stepped into the Immortal Path Domain and cultivated the Immortal Dao, should the Immortal Dao collapse, it would spell disaster for them.

…

Elsewhere.

In the Five Domains and Four Seas.

Countless beings lifted their heads to gaze at the sky above them.

Above the Five Domains and Four Seas, a grand world’s phantom image appeared in front of them.

“That is!!!” Standing outside the main hall of the Imperial Palace in Central State, Ji Hao looked up at the sky, his face showing shock.

Behind him, powerfully auraed figures clad in various official robes stood tall to his left and right.

They too looked skywards, faces showing shock.

Just moments ago, they were still in the grand hall, attending court and discussing important matters when they noticed the commotion outside.

Once they stepped out to see, they were likewise overcome with shock.

At this moment, hearing the exclamation from Ji Hao’s mouth, a minister immediately spoke up.

“Your Majesty, have you recognized what the image above us is?”

Before Ji Hao could speak, an old minister said, “From my knowledge, the image above us is not any corner of the Five Domains and Four Seas, but the landscape is so magnificent, it must have a source.”

Ji Hao said, “It is the legendary Immortal World!”

“The Immortal World?” The minister who had just spoken was now wide-eyed with disbelief, “How can it be the Immortal World?”

“It is the Immortal World!” Ji Hao sighed lightly, “The Upside-Down Mountain in the Immortal World is recorded in ancient books; in today’s age, apart from the Immortal World, there is no other Upside-Down Mountain.”

Hearing Ji Hao’s words, all the ministers looked incredulously at the image in the sky above.

“This is actually the legendary Immortal World!” A minister muttered to himself.

At this moment, not just in the palace of Central State, but in every corner of the Five Domains and Four Seas, every being saw the image above their heads.

They witnessed the various events occurring within the Immortal World at this moment.

…

Immortal World.

Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and Wang Xuan by his side breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, when he saw Jiang Yuan close his eyes, he did not dare to make the slightest noise, afraid of disturbing him, until this moment when he saw Jiang Yuan open his eyes, he finally relaxed.

At this time.

Jiang Yuan quietly looked at the Path to Heaven that ran through the Nine Heavenly Realms, running through the entire Immortal World, watching as the path quietly collapsed.

“My lord!” Wang Xuan carefully spoke at Jiang Yuan’s side.

Hearing Wang Xuan’s voice, Jiang Yuan glanced sideways.

Seeing Jiang Yuan’s inquiring look, Wang Xuan immediately asked, “My lord, has the Heavenly Emperor truly perished?”

“Yes!” Jiang Yuan nodded slightly in response, then continued, “With his death, the Immortal World is truly destroyed, and the Immortal Dao will also collapse because of this.”

Hearing this, Wang Xuan had an epiphany, shock filling his eyes as he looked upward.

“So the collapse of the Immortal Dao is due to the Heavenly Emperor’s fall!”

“I understand now! The path he promoted, this Immortal Dao, indeed had issues!”

Jiang Yuan at this moment spoke no further.

To the scene before his eyes, with the Immortal Dao falling apart and the Immortal World collapsing, he was not at all surprised.

The Immortal World, after all, was an evolution of the Heavenly Emperor’s Cave Heaven World; with the fall of the Heavenly Emperor, it was natural for the Immortal World to crumble.

And the Immortal Dao had been pioneered by that same Heavenly Emperor, who clearly had left contingency plans.

With his fall, the phantom that stood at the end of the Immortal Dao, suppressing the whole path, also dissipated, thus leading to the entire Immortal Dao beginning to unravel.

For all beings within the Immortal World at the moment, this was akin to the arrival of the end times.

The entire world was on the brink of annihilation, the heavens collapsing, and the earth shattering, filled everywhere with the breath of destruction.

For the mighty ones who had stepped into the domain of the Immortal Dao, this was a catastrophe.

Because the path of the Immortal Dao was collapsing, and once it completely fell apart, their years of cultivation would turn into nothing more than illusory bubbles.

In Jiang Yuan’s view, with the collapse of the Immortal Dao, within a matter of days at most, these beings who had stepped into the domain of the Immortal Dao, the entities known as Immortals, would all reach the end of their lives, with no one to save them!

Suddenly, Jiang Yuan spoke.

“You should quickly sever the influence of the Immortal Dao!”

“Yes!” Wang Xuan nodded understandingly.

After saying this, Jiang Yuan raised his head to look again at the emptiness above.

In his eyes, it was a vast and boundless Time River.

At this moment, with his cultivation, having absorbed the fruits of that Heavenly Emperor’s many years of labor, his Three Thousand Great Dao were complete, except for the paths of time and space.

By devouring that Heavenly Emperor’s legacy, Jiang Yuan too was filled with myriad emotions.

This Heavenly Emperor had been just one step away from his goal.

If not for Jiang Yuan’s unexpected appearance, his schemes might have actually succeeded, and he would have become the first Transcender in the Time River.

Now, Jiang Yuan looked at the roaring Time River, and even with his realm, he sensed the disturbances coming from upstream.

“It has indeed collapsed!” Jiang Yuan said indifferently.

“`
He looked back one last time at the Immortal World, then after a slight hesitation, he sighed softly.

“Fine! I shall save them after all!”

After saying these words, Jiang Yuan became motionless.

It was as if a divine spirit high above the Nine Skies, was watching the catastrophe of the mortal world.

As the lord of the Immortal World fell, this Heaven and Earth also stepped ever closer to the abyss of destruction, an irretrievable abyss.

The collapse of the Immortal Dao plunged the entire Immortal World into utter chaos.

All living beings were engulfed in endless fear.

Although Jiang Yuan had made the decision to save these beings, it was not at this moment, nor did it include those who had stepped into the domain of the Immortal Path.

Because the collapse of the Immortal Dao represented the true end of days for those who were called immortals.

Even he had no solution.

Stepping into the Immortal Path Domain meant abandoning the physical body and preserving only the primordial spirit to form the Immortal Body.

The Dao Fruits of the human-immortal and the True Immortal Dao Fruits…
…Were all existences dependent on the Immortal Dao.

Now, with the collapse of the Immortal Dao, how could they find any chance of turning back?

Unless the Immortal Dao was restructured.

But that was an impossibility.

So even Jiang Yuan, as he was now, had no means to intervene.

And the reason he did not act at this moment was also because these so-called immortals had not yet truly perished in body and Dao.

If he were to take all the beings in the Immortal World back to the Five Domains and Four Seas, it would be hard to ensure that these immortals, driven to a dead end, would not cause turmoil in the final moments.

Under Jiang Yuan’s silent gaze,
The entire Immortal World continued to march toward the abyss of destruction.

The firmament crumbled, the earth collapsed.

Everywhere was the sight of an apocalypse.

The myriad states of the world unfolded before his eyes.

And at this moment, Jiang Yuan was quietly waiting for the fall of those mighty beings who had stepped into the Immortal Path.

Letting the plans of the Heavenly Emperor become his harvest.

He was very aware that the resources needed to take the final step were vast.

Now, with the collapse of the Immortal Dao, countless mighty ones who had stepped into the Immortal Path Domain would fall.

Making the most of them.

He naturally sought to have them serve his purposes.

To know that the energy of any Immortal Path being devoured by him would not only greatly enhance his cultivation but also allow him to open more micro-worlds within his cellular particles.

This would further perfect his Suppression Divine Body.

Therefore, at this moment Jiang Yuan paid no heed to the movements in the Time River.

A half-day later.

The Nine Heavenly Realms had completely perished, and the beings of the Immortal World had come to accept this fact, the sudden fact of the Immortal World’s destruction.

At this moment, an air of despair filled every corner of the Immortal World.

All of a sudden–
Boom–
The Immortal Dao completely collapsed.

Countless mighty ones let out roars of despair.

With the collapse of the Immortal Dao, those who had set foot on this path had no way out.

A moment later,
The aura of an immortal ceased to exist, and his life force was extinguished, then his Immortal Body dissolved into billions of White Lights that scattered.

These billions of scattering White Lights instantly converged towards Jiang Yuan.

Where there was one, there was a second.

In the blink of an eye, the second, the third, the fourth…

Immortals whose life had ceased began to fall faster, and their Immortal Bodies also instantly dissipated into billions of White Lights upon their fall.

“Grandfather!!!”

“Father!!!”

“Mother!!!”

“Master!!!”

“…”

Countless cultivators watched this scene with tears of sorrow streaming down their faces.

Jiang Yuan also silently watched this scene unfold throughout the Immortal World.
