Many times, imagination is very pale.
Even though these Prodigies had heard countless times how vast the Border Region was.
But when they truly arrived in person.
The shock from deep within them still made them stand rooted to the spot, unable to recover for a long time.
The Border Region, ancient and majestic, seemed to have been built by ancient deities.
Countless ancestors had bled here, and it was stained with mottled and dark blood.
Various terrifying runic rules intertwined upon it, shining with dazzling brilliance.
At this moment, all the Immortal Domain Prodigies who had come to the Border Region for the first time fell silent.
They stood in place, their expressions solemn and respectful.
Jun Xiaoyao also felt a surge of emotion.
He was not a person easily moved by emotions, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of awe.
"Is this the Border Region that Father has been guarding all this time?"
Jun Xiaoyao murmured to himself.
He had said that he didn't want to be a hero, nor a savior.
But when he personally saw the Border Region that Jun Wuhui guarded, and saw the accumulated blood on the boundless walls.
He still raised his hand and bowed to the Border Region.
Upon seeing this, the Prodigies present also followed Jun Xiaoyao, bowing to the blood-stained Border Region.
Even hostile figures like the Ancient Emperor Child bowed their hands in such circumstances.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao take the lead in showing respect, Scarface Fourth Master's old eyes showed deep relief.
"Benefactor, your child has a sincere heart, just like you," Scarface Fourth Master sighed in his heart.
And those guard teams, as well as the Great Knights, all had their favorability towards Jun Xiaoyao skyrocket upon seeing his actions.
"As expected of Lord Wu Hui's child, truly sincere."
"Indeed, in the future, he might become the second White-Robed Divine King, striking fear into the foreign lands!"
Jun Xiaoyao did not know that his momentary act of emotion had earned him the goodwill of these Border Region warriors.
"Alright, everyone, follow me."
Scarface Fourth Master led the group, moving through the Border Region.
As far as the eye could see, the Border Region had no end.
Though called a city pass, it was actually more vast than a world barrier.
From time to time, everyone could feel some obscure and powerful Divine Thoughts sweeping across the Void Realm, probing in all directions.
"Quasi-Emperor!"
Many were startled; these were definitely Quasi-Emperor level powerhouses, patrolling through their Divine Thoughts.
However, this was understandable, as it was the frontline of the Border Region, and having Quasi-Emperors stationed there was normal.
Before long, Scarface Fourth Master stopped.
"We're here, your Ultimate Trial Ground, the God Ruins World."
Everyone looked behind Scarface Fourth Master, momentarily holding their breath.
Everyone was shaken by the sight before them.
Even Jun Xiaoyao, who remained calm in any situation, had a flicker of surprise in his eyes.
Because ahead, the vast and boundless Border Region, which had stood for ages, had actually cracked open, with a section missing.
This made many Prodigies gasp, sending shivers down their spines.
The vast and ancient Border Region, incredibly sturdy and covered with various rules.
Logically, it should have stood firm for eternity.
But now, a section had cracked open, creating a gap.
The missing opening was as wide as an entire Ancient Starfield.
But what shocked everyone was not just the gap in the Border Region.
It was also because at this gap, there was a green lotus.
A boundless green lotus, almost comparable to a Star Domain.
This gigantic green lotus bloomed between heaven and earth, with threads of Chaos Energy cascading down from its lotus leaves.
It was like a waterfall of the Milky Way flowing straight down.
Huge celestial bodies dotted around the lotus leaves, like grains of sand.
The Prodigies present were almost all Disciples of Immortal Forces; they had seen countless grand scenes.
But the sight before them still deeply shocked them.
They were as stunned as country bumpkins who had just entered the city.
"No wonder…"
Jun Xiaoyao suddenly recalled that the Ancient Road Enforcer on Burial Emperor Star had once said.
The Ultimate Trial Ground was related to a Mythical Emperor, could it be…
As Jun Xiaoyao pondered, Scarface Fourth Master spoke, "Throughout history, the foreign lands have invaded our Nine Heavens Immortal Domain more than once."
"The most severe instance was when the foreign lands produced more than one 'Calamity-Rank' Immortal, bringing a massive catastrophe to our Immortal Domain."
"Even the Border Region was breached, creating a huge gap."
Scarface Fourth Master's solemn words spread in all directions.
All the Prodigies fell silent upon hearing this.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered.
The peak Emperor-level powerhouses of the foreign lands were called Immortal Kings.
So what kind of terrifying existence was a "Calamity-Rank" Immortal?
"At that time, the Border Region was breached, and the situation was precarious. If the foreign lands had completely invaded, the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain would have been utterly beyond salvation."
"Finally, a Mythical Emperor took action, using his own body to plug the gap in the Border Region, eventually transforming into a green lotus."
"It was the Azure Emperor!"
Scarface Fourth Master's words were deafening, resounding in everyone's ears.
"Indeed, it's that single lotus of the eternal azure sky." Jun Xiaoyao suddenly realized.
A Mythical Emperor, that was an Emperor who had become a legend.
The Gulan True Lord worshipped by the Gulan Holy Church, the One-Armed Underworld King worshipped by the Nether King Lineage.
And the Ancient Emperor Sakyamuni worshipped by the Western Heaven Teaching, those were all Emperors who had become myths.
Of course, Jun Xiaoyao didn't know if the Jun Family had a Mythical Emperor.
The Jun Family had never publicized it.
"The Azure Emperor was a green lotus conceived in Chaos. When the Border Region was in peril, Lord Azure Emperor used his body to plug the gap, forming a world of his own."
"What you see now is the gigantic green lotus, which contains the God Ruins World, and it is also the Azure Emperor's Inner Universe."
Scarface Fourth Master's words made Jun Xiaoyao's eyes show surprise.
Jun Xiaoyao himself had an Inner Universe, currently with a diameter of two light-years.
However, the gigantic green lotus before them was more than two light-years in size.
Not to mention that once inside, the scope would definitely be even wider.
Jun Xiaoyao was moved.
If he entered the God Ruins World, he could comprehend the Azure Emperor's rules and methods of creation, which would greatly help the evolution of his Inner Universe.
At this moment, Scarface Fourth Master's expression became more serious, and he cleared his throat, saying.
"As everyone knows, this Ultimate Trial will be different from previous ones."
"Because this time, the foreign lands have discovered a fatal flaw in the God Ruins World, which could cause the God Ruins World to disintegrate, leading to the reappearance of the gap."
Scarface Fourth Master's words stirred up a thousand waves, instantly creating a huge uproar here!
"What, the God Ruins World formed by the Azure Emperor is about to collapse?"
"If that happens, and the gap reappears, won't the foreign army be able to march straight in?!"
The place was like a boiling pot, erupting in an uproar!
The Azure Emperor transformed into a world, finally plugging the gap in the Border Region.
If it disintegrated now, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Everyone saw that the gap was as huge as an Ancient Starfield; even if the defense line was reorganized, it would be difficult to hold.
Otherwise, another Mythical Emperor would have to be sacrificed to plug the gap.
But the problem was, how could there be one?
In this era, Great Emperors are rarely seen and do not often appear, let alone Emperors who have become mythical legends.
What is a myth?
Something ethereal and elusive is called a myth.
Furthermore, even if a Mythical Emperor existed, who would want to sacrifice their Dao fruit?
Not everyone could be as selfless as the Azure Emperor.
After all, powerhouses of that Rank are already unfathomably strong.
Even if the Immortal Domain collapsed, they could still exist eternally, forming their own forbidden zones.
Now, all the Prodigies' expressions were solemn.
This trial was indeed more brutal than previous ones.
"Then Senior, is there a way to stop it?" a Prodigy asked with cupped hands.
"Of course there is a way, otherwise I wouldn't have told you so much," Scarface Fourth Master said, his gaze, however, turning to Jun Xiaoyao.
Clearly, he placed great importance on Jun Xiaoyao, pinning all his hopes on him.
After all, Jun Xiaoyao's true strength far exceeded his Realm.
It would be of great use in the God Ruins World.
