Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 361 - 217: The Invasion Begins!

When Shen Yu, the cultivator, first encountered the Emperor of the Profound Immortal Realm, he was quite surprised.

After all, in his previous understanding, since the individual was the Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty and possessed the realm of a Profound Immortal, he would be majestic and domineering, naturally exhibiting the image of an Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty.

However, this was not the case.

The one standing before Shen Yu seemed merely an ordinary middle-aged man.

His appearance was quite plain, lacking any significant aura of majesty, and his attire was simple.

"Greetings, your excellency." This Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty, known as Emperor Jiang, even smiled and saluted Shen Yu, without the slightest hint of domineering aura.

It was hard to imagine that this was the mighty figure who single-handedly established the entire Great Yan Immortal Dynasty.

"Greetings, your Majesty." Shen Yu also slightly bowed in return.

Though he represented the "Association" and naturally needed to demonstrate its mighty power, this was also a fundamental respect for the powerful.

"It won’t be long before I should address you as the Celestial Emperor." Emperor Jiang said with a smile, his tone extremely affable, showing no trace of discontent.

Even Shen Yu found it difficult to gauge the Emperor’s intentions at the moment.

Although he could use the Gray Mist to probe, the other party was, after all, a Profound Immortal, and probing with the Gray Mist required a considerable expenditure.

Shen Yu pondered for a moment and ultimately decided against it.

It wasn’t necessary.

Even if the other party had other thoughts, when those were turned into action, he would then need to expend the Gray Mist to deal with them.

"Does your Majesty intend to go over now?" Shen Yu skipped the topic and went straight to the point, "Although there’s a constant risk of danger breaking out there, the exact timing isn’t clear."

"Let’s head over now." Emperor Jiang laughed, "The battle on the front lines is relatively stable, and I have prepared enough time. It is a good opportunity to observe the powers of other strong worlds in the All Heavens."

This was indeed thanks to the appearance of Shen Yu.

After resolving the Orthodoxy’s crisis of being unable to break through in cultivation methods, some previously wavering Orthodoxy powerful figures made a decisive choice.

After all, regardless of how well-prepared the Demon Dao was, this Immortal Cultivation Universe was previously dominated by Orthodoxy cultivation.

As long as the trend of collapse was stabilized, it wasn’t easy to fall into disadvantage.

Also, for this reason, Shen Yu had continuously been gathering Gray Mist from the Cosmos during this time.

Even if he did nothing, his mere appearance indirectly saved many lives.

This was one of the sources of confidence held by the Association.

At this moment, seeing Emperor Jiang’s eagerness, Shen Yu nodded and waved his hand, directly leading Emperor Jiang into the Gray Mist Space.

Once they appeared, Emperor Jiang’s gaze was immediately fixed on the Gray Mist.

A trace of dread also arose in his heart.

Even though he had heard from others many times, the Extraordinary level was different, and many things would change.

Things terrifying to a True Immortal were generally insignificant in the presence of a Profound Immortal.

Yet, the Gray Mist before him forced Emperor Jiang to admit that both True Immortals and Profound Immortals were insignificant before this Gray Mist.

Utterly terrifying.

However, this alone was not enough to instill dread in Emperor Jiang.

Do not speak of the All Heavens and Myriads of Realms; even within the Immortal Cultivation Universe itself, there are places where Profound Immortals would perceive danger.

This was not surprising.

What truly instilled dread in Emperor Jiang was the hazy vision of seeing some vast and immense buildings within the Gray Mist!

Such a perilous place spells certain death upon mere contact, yet the Association has genuinely established a stronghold within it.

This alone leaves no room to doubt the strength of the Association.

"Shall we?" Shen Yu reminded from the side, seemingly unconcerned, "Or does your Majesty wish to observe for a longer period here? There’s no problem, as long as others arrive in time."

Originally, Emperor Jiang’s visit was not necessary.

It was merely a safeguard, one that even came well-prepared with supplies and remuneration.

However, Emperor Jiang only gazed deeply into the Gray Mist but did not continue to look. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Whether it was the Gray Mist or the existence within it, for him, they were too powerful.

He could be amiable, but he must revere those stronger than himself.

"Thank you." Emperor Jiang said to Shen Yu.

Shen Yu could clearly perceive the subtle change in the other’s attitude.

Although it seemed to remain the same.

If, previously, the demeanor was merely out of the other’s character, now it truly reflected a parity in power and status.

The gap between the two is naturally vast.

Shen Yu had no hesitation and lifted his hand again, instantly leading him into the High Martial World.

The moment they appeared, Emperor Jiang was utterly stunned.

He dazedly gazed at everything around him, at the sky outside the window.

Never at any moment like now had he felt so clearly that he had arrived in another world.

Because the Taoist Rhyme of Heaven and Earth here is entirely different!

And it’s even more powerful.

His body seemed to tremble instinctively, partly due to the unaccustomed environmental change, and more so, due to the pursuit of stronger power.

It even made him instinctively want to immediately comprehend the Taoist Rhyme of this world.

However, Emperor Jiang restrained himself.

"There are indeed certain differences, or even conflicts, between the path of cultivation and the high martial path of this world." Shen Yu spoke after seeing Emperor Jiang halt his movements, "It’s not that one can’t learn from both sides, but if one practices rashly, it’s easy to perish in the conflict. Your Majesty, it is better to be cautious. Moreover, I suggest that everyone should bring more Spirit Stones or reserve some Spiritual Energy, otherwise, once Mana is exhausted, it won’t be easy to replenish in this world."
