The bell’s toll carried a supreme power that could stabilize the myriad Daos, forcibly interfering with the laws of that region and securing the connection between Lu Xuan and it!
“Chi!”
The invisible trace of Dao-severing collided with the protective Dao rhythm of the Chaos Bell, producing a faint sound.
That slash mark, under the interference of the Chaos Bell, finally dispersed slowly.
“It can actually block one strike from this king?”
A trace of surprise flashed through the Blade King’s eyes, only to be replaced by an even stronger interest.
“As expected, it is a fine treasure! All the more reason you cannot be allowed to live!”
His figure moved, as though transforming into countless strands of blade intent condensed to the extreme, slashing toward Lu Xuan from every direction. Each one contained a terrifying will capable of severing laws!
These blade intents were not illusory, but the tangible manifestation of his Great Dao, enough to easily slay ordinary Immortal Kings!
“Come!”
Lu Xuan let out a long roar and held nothing back, fully activating the Chaos Bell!
The ancient bell swelled enormously, and Xuanhuang qi fell like waterfalls, firmly protecting him within.
Upon the bell’s surface, the sun, moon, and stars revolved madly; earth, water, fire, and wind surged in great torrents; the phantoms of the myriad races of the primordial world roared in unison, erupting with a world-creating might!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Endless blade intent slashed against the Xuanhuang qi, unleashing a continuous series of terrifying explosions!
Fragments of the Great Dao flew everywhere, and spacetime was torn into chaos. This region was completely transformed into a forbidden zone of life. Even the four giants—the Red King, Wushang, Space-Time, and Annihilation—had no choice but to retreat for the moment, staring in horror at the fierce battle at the center.
Lu Xuan controlled the Chaos Bell, defending so tightly that not a drop could leak through, blocking all of the Blade King’s attacks that were powerful enough to annihilate seas of stars.
But he also felt tremendous pressure. Every strike from the Blade King contained Dao laws at the Emperor-light level, incomparably sharp, shaking his qi and blood until they churned. Even the radiance of the Chaos Bell dimmed slightly.
His thoughts raced. He knew that if he defended for too long, he would inevitably lose.
Suddenly, he reversed his cultivation method and forcibly drew a portion of the incoming blade intent into his body, refining it madly with the True Solar Fire and chaotic qi!
“Pfft!”
A trace of golden blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Forcibly analyzing the Dao laws of an Emperor-light giant placed an immense burden on him.
But through this, he also glimpsed a thread of the essence within the Blade King’s blade intent that severed the myriad Daos!
“So that is how it is… Destruction is also rebirth! Sever the past, cut off the future, leaving only the single thought of the present age!”
Brilliant light burst from Lu Xuan’s eyes. As if blessed by sudden insight, he gained a new understanding of his own Great Dao.
He no longer focused solely on defense. Drawing upon the Chaos Bell, he erupted with an even more terrifying might. The bell’s toll transformed into tangible sound-wave Dao laws, sweeping toward the Blade King on its own initiative!
At the same time, he brought two fingers together like a sword, chaotic sword qi newly comprehended coiling around his fingertips, and thrust out fiercely!
“Clang—!”
The bell waves and blade intent collided violently once more. This time, it was no longer pure defense, but an intense exchange of attacks!
The chaotic sword qi and the Blade King’s finger-blade clashed across the void, shattering space inch by inch like glass!
Even the Great Dao was being obliterated!
Two existences who had surpassed ordinary giants began an earth-shaking duel upon this border battlefield!
For a time, it was actually impossible to determine who had the upper hand. They fought to a deadlock, inseparable and unrelenting!
Seeing that Lu Xuan could battle the Emperor-light giant Blade King, who had returned from the Realm Sea, to such an extent, all the spectators, whether from the Immortal Domain or the foreign realm, were shaken beyond words!
The kings of the Immortal Domain were filled with hope and excitement, and at the same time gained an entirely new understanding of Lu Xuan’s strength.
As for the Immortal Kings of the foreign realm, they were all terrified.
Even Lord Blade King could not swiftly take this man down?!
The Red King and Wushang’s expressions darkened. They knew the greatest variable had appeared in their plan.
They exchanged a glance, killing intent surfacing once more. They had to take advantage of the Blade King holding Lu Xuan back and eliminate the other forces of the Immortal Domain as quickly as possible!
The great war had entered an even more brutal and uncertain stage!
And the outcome between Lu Xuan and the Blade King would directly determine the final course of this battle concerning the survival of the Immortal Domain!
At the same time that an earth-shaking battle between giants erupted at the border of the Immortal Domain, another ancient universe far from the main battlefield—the Primordial Ancient Realm—also welcomed a calamity of annihilation.
On this day, the sky of the Primordial Ancient Realm darkened without warning.
It was not covered by dark clouds, but completely shrouded by dark matter so dense it could not disperse!
An ominous aura, far colder and more sinister than that at the Immortal Domain’s border, flooded the entire ancient realm like an icy tide.
“Wuu—!”
A desolate horn sounded from the Imperial Pass, carrying endless sorrow and resolve.
One powerful figure after another shot up from all parts of the ancient realm, gathering atop the crumbling pass walls.
At their head stood a majestic figure surrounded by six indistinct black holes, as though he commanded the mysteries of life, death, and reincarnation—the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King!
His features were ancient and plain, yet his eyes held the vicissitudes and solemnity of one who had seen through the reincarnation of myriad ages.
Beside him stood the True Dragon King, whose dragon might was vast and whose qi and blood surged like an ocean.
There was also an Immortal Monk King with a dignified appearance, his body blooming with boundless Buddha light, as well as the Seven Kings of the Border Wasteland, whose auras were linked as one and who had guarded the border wasteland for endless years!
This was nearly all of the highest combat strength the Primordial Ancient Realm could now muster!
Second Under Heaven had fallen short by half a move in his exchange with the True Dragon of this generation, and was now in seclusion.
As for the Immortal Gold Daoist, he had entered an even deeper level of seclusion.
The Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit’s whereabouts in the Realm Sea remained unknown to this day.
As for Immortal King Wu Zhong, who had comprehended the Dao of time, he had long since deduced that this great war would erupt.
Thus, tens of thousands of years ago, he had gone to the Immortal Domain to seek reinforcements.
After finding no hope of aid, he had continued to wander along the edge of the Immortal Domain, seeking an opportunity for a breakthrough.
Therefore, at this moment, the number of Immortal Kings in the Primordial Ancient Realm’s camp was pitifully small compared to the foreign realm.
Even though the foreign realm had split its forces to attack the Immortal Domain, the Primordial Ancient Realm would still find it difficult to withstand these more than twenty Immortal Kings.
“They have come…”
The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King looked beyond the heavens, his voice low.
His Eye of Reincarnation pierced through the curtain of darkness and saw that despair-inducing scene.
Beyond the firmament, densely packed together, stood more than twenty terrifying figures emanating immortal auras!
The two at their head possessed auras even more unfathomable, causing the Great Dao of the entire Primordial Ancient Realm to wail.
One was surrounded by strange runes resembling dandelion seeds. Wherever he passed, vitality was drained away and all things withered. He was none other than the infamous Pu Demon King!
The other was shrouded in chaotic mist, holding an ancient kunwood staff. His aura was ancient and mysterious. He was one of the oldest giants of the foreign realm—Kundi!
To ensure that the seizure of the Origin Ancient Artifact would be absolutely foolproof, the foreign realm had actually dispatched a terrifying force of more than twenty Immortal Kings led by two giants, secretly advancing to the Primordial Ancient Realm!
“Release the restrictions of this realm, and you may be left with intact corpses.”
Kundi’s voice was ancient and indifferent, like the judgment of the Heavenly Dao, devoid of the slightest emotion.
“Wishful thinking!”
The True Dragon King let out a dragon roar that shook the heavens. His enormous dragon body stretched across the starry universe, his dragon might overflowing into the skies.
“Not one inch of the ancient realm’s land will be yielded!”
“Amitabha. If I do not enter hell, who will?”
The Immortal Monk King pressed his palms together, and boundless Buddha light transformed into a pure land, attempting to purify the spreading darkness.
