The Seven Kings of the Border Wasteland were even more direct. Seven pillars of qi and blood rose like wolf-smoke into the sky, merging into one and transforming into the phantom of a bloodstained war halberd, pointed straight at the great army of the foreign realm!
They had guarded the Border Wasteland, clashing with the foreign realm countless times on a small scale. Their hatred had long since become irreconcilable.
“Stubborn fools. Kill!”
Demon King Pu sneered. With a wave of his hand, endless dandelion seeds transformed into a storm of destruction, sweeping toward Imperial Pass. Wherever they passed, stars dimmed, and planets teeming with life instantly became lands of deathly silence.
“Form the array! Protect the ancient realm!”
The Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King roared. Six reincarnation caves thundered, evolving the worlds of the six paths of reincarnation as he attempted to draw the enemy’s attack into reincarnation and dissolve it without a trace.
The True Dragon King roared, his dragon claws tearing through the void as he clashed head-on with an Immortal King.
The Immortal Monk King’s Buddhist light shone everywhere, resisting the erosion of darkness.
The battle formation formed by the Seven Kings of the Border Wasteland was like the sharpest spearhead, charging fiercely into the ranks of the Immortal Kings. They fought life for life, and in an instant, blood splattered!
The great battle erupted in an instant!
However, the gap in strength was far too vast!
On the side of the Primordial Ancient Realm, when all was counted, the only one who could display titan-level combat power was the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King. Though the True Dragon King, the Immortal Monk King, and the Seven Kings of the Border Wasteland were powerful, they were only at the level of supreme Immortal Kings.
As for the other side, they had two titans, Kundi and Demon King Pu, as well as more than twenty Immortal Kings!
Although at this moment, the aura of the Immortal King battle had awakened—
“Rumble!”
The Kun Wood Staff in Kundi’s hand gently tapped forward, as if drawing upon the source Great Dao of the ancient realm. The entire Imperial Pass shook violently, and countless runes on the pass walls instantly dimmed and shattered!
The Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King gave a muffled groan. The reincarnation caves swayed violently, and a thread of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Demon King Pu’s destructive dandelions were everywhere, frantically absorbing what little vitality the ancient realm had left. One of the Border Wasteland Kings was carelessly tainted by the seeds and let out a shrill scream. The qi, blood, and Dao laws throughout his body were rapidly drained away, turning him into a dried corpse!
“Seventh Brother!”
“We’ll fight them to the death!”
The eyes of the Seven Kings of the Border Wasteland nearly split with rage. Their offensive became even more frenzied, but against Immortal Kings several times their number, they were like men trapped in a quagmire, terrifying wounds constantly appearing on their bodies.
The True Dragon King’s dragon scales shattered, golden dragon blood spilling across the starry sky. The boundless Buddhist light of the Immortal Monk King was continuously compressed by the darkness, and cracks appeared across his golden body.
Under the crushing pressure of the foreign realm’s absolute power, the defensive line of the Primordial Ancient Realm was on the verge of collapse, liable to fall apart at any moment!
“No! We can’t hold them back! Kundi and Demon King Pu are too strong!”
The True Dragon King roared, swatting an Immortal King away with one claw, only to be struck by a dark divine ability himself, dragon blood pouring from his wounds.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King’s gaze turned resolute. He looked back at the ancient realm behind him—that broken land which had nurtured countless living beings—then abruptly crushed an ancient talisman branded with spacetime Dao patterns.
“Wuzhong! The ancient realm is about to fall! Return at once!!!”
This was the final means he had refined at tremendous cost, a way to sense another guardian of the ancient realm who had gone in search of an opportunity for breakthrough—Immortal King Wuzhong!
The instant the talisman shattered, a faint spacetime fluctuation ignored the barrier between realms, carrying the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King’s final hope toward some unknown distant place.
After doing all this, the aura of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King suddenly became berserk. The six reincarnation caves began to burn, erupting with power beyond their limits!
“Fellow Daoists, today, let us offer our blood as a sacrifice to protect the mountains and rivers of our ancient realm!”
Roaring, he charged straight toward Kundi and Demon King Pu!
The True Dragon King, the Immortal Monk King, and the Seven Kings of the Border Wasteland also understood that the final moment had come. One after another, they burned their origins and unleashed supreme attacks!
The Primordial Ancient Realm sank into its darkest moment since the war had begun.
Every Immortal King was paying with his life to buy the last bit of time for that faint hope of reinforcements.
And at this moment, far away at the edge of the Immortal Domain, within a ruin shrouded in the mist of time.
A man with disheveled black hair and a resolute face suddenly opened his eyes.
He had sensed that blood-weeping summons from his homeland.
“The ancient realm…”
He murmured softly, and a sharp light that pierced through spacetime erupted from his eyes.
The next moment, he rose to his full height and took a single step. His figure smashed through the mist of time, speeding back toward the Primordial Ancient Realm at a speed beyond comprehension!
Immortal King Wuzhong was returning!
On the battlefield at the border of the Immortal Domain, the duel between Lu Xuan and the Saber King had already reached a fever pitch.
The Chaos Bell rumbled, xuanhuang qi sweeping across the eight desolations as it resisted the terrifying saber intent of the Saber King that could sever the ages.
Every collision between the bell waves and the saber light was like the birth and destruction of two great universes. The aftershocks that burst forth caused the surrounding starfields to shatter in vast swathes.
The fierce battle between two existences who surpassed ordinary titans had already exceeded the imagination of all the Immortal Kings and Immortal Kings of the foreign realm present.
The more the Saber King fought, the more astonished he became.
As an Emperor-Light Immortal King who had returned from the Realm Sea, he had thought that suppressing a newly born Immortal King would be effortless. Yet he had never expected the ancient bell of his opponent to be so wondrous that it could entangle him in battle until now—and even faintly seemed to grow stronger the longer the fight continued, constantly adapting to his saber intent!
At the side, King Chi also found the situation troublesome.
If the Saber King could not suppress Lu Xuan, then their plan to invade the Primordial Ancient Realm was very likely to die before it was even born.
“That bell absolutely cannot be allowed to remain! That Golden Crow Immortal King must be strangled in the cradle!”
Killing intent surged in King Chi’s eyes. He knew they could not delay any longer.
“All kings, heed my command!” King Chi shouted coldly, his voice spreading throughout the foreign realm’s camp. “Offer up your king weapons and set up the Myriad Weapons God-Slaying Formation. Lock down that bell!”
The remaining nearly twenty Immortal Kings who were locked in combat with the Immortal Domain kings heard this, and though they were filled with fear toward Lu Xuan, they did not dare defy King Chi’s order in the slightest.
They knew full well that if they did not restrain that terrifying bell, then forget completing their mission today—they might not even be able to retreat with their bodies intact!
“As commanded!”
In an instant, heaven-shaking phenomena erupted!
Nearly twenty Immortal Kings roared in unison, each offering up the lifebound Immortal King weapon they had nurtured for countless epochs, weapons that harmonized with their own Great Daos!
There was a soul-suppressing demonic pagoda wrapped in black chains of curses, a world-burning demonic furnace blazing with eternal demonic fire, a dark heavenly wheel that devoured light, a slaughter demonic sword that evolved an endless sea of blood, a white-bone soul-seizing banner condensed from the resentment of billions upon billions of living beings…
All kinds of king weapons, emanating terrifying dark auras and immortal laws, rose like a great dark world!
These king weapons did not attack chaotically. Instead, under the guidance of a divine thought from King Chi, they followed some profound trajectory and instantly formed a terrifying grand formation that enveloped the galaxy—the Myriad Weapons God-Slaying Formation!
“Buzz—!!!”
The instant the grand formation took shape, the qi of all the Immortal King weapons linked into one, transforming into a vast net formed from countless dark law runes!
The core purpose of this net was not attack, but confinement and isolation!
Countless dark chains descended from the net. They did not attack Lu Xuan, but instead surged one after another toward the Chaos Bell hanging high above, winding around it!
These dark chains contained the combined power of nearly twenty Immortal Kings, as well as the foreign realm’s source laws condensed by the grand formation. Their sealing power was unimaginably mighty, enough to instantly lock down several ordinary Immortal King titans!
“Not good! They’re trying to imprison Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan’s magical artifact!”
King Pan’s expression changed drastically at the sight. He wanted to interfere, but his opponent held him tightly in check.
The Spacetime Immortal King and the Nirvana Immortal King also had a change of expression and wanted to lend a hand, but how could King Chi and Wushang allow them to succeed?
Their offensive instantly became even fiercer, firmly pinning them down.
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
