The golden body of the Immortal Monk King had shattered, its Buddhist light dim, yet he still sat cross-legged in the void, trying to purify the darkness.
Of the Seven Kings of the Border Wastes, only four remained, and every one of them was gravely wounded. Even so, they still formed a broken formation, staking their lives against Undying Kings several times their number!
Across the land of the ancient realm, mountains and rivers lay shattered, beacon fires raged to the heavens, and billions upon billions of living beings perished amid wails of grief.
“Hahaha! The Ancient Artifact of Origin belongs to my foreign realm now!”
Pu Demon King laughed viciously, controlling endless dandelions of destruction as they madly drained the last vitality of the ancient realm, pressing toward the Ancestral Sacrificial Ground at its very core.
And just as despair descended—
“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”
Above the shattered firmament of the Primordial Ancient Realm, several powerful auras of Immortal Kings suddenly descended!
They were none other than Pan Wang, Hunyuan Immortal King, Qingwei Immortal King, and several other Immortal Kings of the Immortal Domain known for their speed, who had torn through space at the first possible moment after receiving Lu Xuan’s signal!
“Wretched beasts of the foreign realm! Cease your insolence!”
Pan Wang roared. The Immortal Peach Tree took root in the void, scattering endless vitality and temporarily stabilizing the collapsing earth of the ancient realm.
“Kill!” Hunyuan Immortal King was even more direct. His Immortal King weapon carried towering fury as it cleaved straight toward Pu Demon King, who was wreaking havoc!
Qingwei Immortal King’s purifying immortal rain fell, alleviating the corrosion of the dark matter.
The arrival of reinforcements from the Immortal Domain was like adding fresh firewood to a blaze on the verge of being extinguished!
The Immortal Kings of the ancient realm, trapped in desperate straits, had their spirits greatly lifted!
“Reinforcements! Reinforcements from the Immortal Domain!”
“Kill! For the ancient realm!”
The cultivators of the ancient realm erupted with their final strength and, together with the Immortal Domain reinforcements, launched a tragic counterattack against the invaders from the foreign realm!
Kundi looked at the Immortal Domain reinforcements who had suddenly appeared and frowned slightly, but he did not panic. The divine weapon in his hand evolved chaos, still firmly suppressing the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King.
“Nothing but a final struggle before death. It changes nothing.”
Pu Demon King was stopped by Hunyuan Immortal King, and the two sides instantly clashed in fierce battle.
Because part of the Immortal Domain’s strength had been committed in time, the battle situation in the Primordial Ancient Realm was temporarily stabilized, but it was still far from optimistic.
The two giants, Kundi and Pu Demon King, were still present, and the Undying Kings still held the advantage in numbers. This was destined to be an incomparably brutal war of attrition.
The three battlefields had all fallen into the fiercest melee at the same time!
On the main battlefield, the chaos incarnation fought Blade King to the death.
At the edge of the Realm Sea, Lu Xuan alone held back the dark tide.
In the Primordial Ancient Realm, the allied forces of the Immortal Domain and the ancient realm waged a bloody battle against the powerful enemies of the foreign realm.
Blood dyed the starry sky red, dyed the Realm Sea red, and dyed the mountains and rivers of the ancient realm red.
Every supreme expert was giving everything they had. Every decision could affect the final outcome.
And amid the fierce fighting, everyone’s eyes could not help but turn toward the direction of the Realm Sea.
They all understood that whether that Golden Crow Immortal King, who had charged alone toward the most dangerous battlefield, could swiftly quell the upheaval in the Realm Sea and return in time to assist them might be the true key to determining the final course of this calamity sweeping across the heavens and myriad realms!
Just as the defensive line of the Primordial Ancient Realm was teetering on the verge of collapse in utter despair—
“Buzz—”
An indescribably vast Dao resonance, as if flowing from the end of eternity, silently enveloped the entire battlefield of the ancient realm.
This Dao resonance carried an implication of ending and return.
The instant it appeared, the boiling aura of slaughter stagnated. The chaotic torrents of laws seemed to find direction, and even the pervasive dark matter appeared to congeal for a moment.
All existences locked in battle, whether the allied forces of the Immortal Domain and ancient realm or the experts of the foreign realm, felt their hearts tremble involuntarily, sensing an invisible suppression that came from the level of the Great Dao itself.
For the first time, an obvious fluctuation appeared on Kundi’s face, which had been as still as an ancient well.
He abruptly raised his head and looked toward a certain point in the void, his gaze incomparably grave.
“This aura… is it him?!”
Pu Demon King also stopped his entanglement with Hunyuan Immortal King and looked toward the same direction in shock and uncertainty.
In the next moment, under the watch of countless gazes, that stretch of void rippled like water.
A figure, as if treading upon the ripples of the ages, stepped out from the end of endless spacetime.
He wore a plain gray robe, his black hair loose over his shoulders. His face seemed ordinary, yet it carried an ancient vicissitude, as though all Daos returned to him.
His appearance brought no heaven-shaking phenomenon, no dazzling divine radiance, yet it was as if he himself represented some final order and the tranquil end of all things.
It was none other than the one who had sensed the ancient realm’s blood-weeping summons and rushed back at full speed—Wuzhong Immortal King!
“Fellow Daoist Wuzhong!”
When the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King saw the newcomer, unbelievable joy and excitement burst from his eyes, which had been on the verge of losing focus, as though he had grasped the final straw of salvation.
“It’s Wuzhong Immortal King! He has returned!”
The True Dragon King let out a weak dragon roar, filled with the ecstasy of escaping death from a hopeless situation.
The surviving Kings of the Border Wastes, the Immortal Monk King, and all the cultivators of the ancient realm were as if they had seen the backbone that could prop up heaven and earth, and they erupted in cheers that shook the skies!
Wuzhong Immortal King was one of the oldest guardians of the Primordial Ancient Realm, his strength unfathomable. His return was of extraordinary significance!
Pan Wang, Hunyuan Immortal King, and the other Immortal Domain reinforcements also let out long breaths of relief, their hearts greatly steadied.
The name of Wuzhong Immortal King was thunderous even in the Immortal Domain. This was a peak existence truly capable of contending with the oldest giants of the foreign realm!
“Wuzhong… in the end, you still returned.”
Kundi slowly spoke, his voice carrying a trace of complexity.
They were old opponents, and knew deeply how terrifying the other was.
“Kundi,”
Wuzhong Immortal King’s calm gaze fell upon Kundi, then swept across the devastated battlefield.
His eyes gradually turned icy.
“Take your people and get out of the ancient realm. Otherwise, this place will be your final resting place.”
His words were bland, as if merely stating a fact about to occur.
“Arrogant!”
Pu Demon King shouted sharply,
“Wuzhong, do you think you alone can reverse heaven and earth?!”
Wuzhong Immortal King did not even glance at Pu Demon King. His gaze remained locked on Kundi as he slowly raised his right hand.
As his palm lifted, the spacetime of the entire battlefield seemed to begin slowing down!
Those roaring beings of the foreign realm, the cultivators brandishing weapons, the scattering rays of energy… everything, every movement, became several times more sluggish!
It was as if an invisible giant net was slowly closing in, about to drag all things into eternal stillness!
Wuzhong Immortal King’s divine ability—Spacetime Stagnation!
This was no simple spatial seal, but absolute control involving the flow of time itself!
Under the influence of his Dao domain, the enemy’s movements, thoughts, and even the speed at which they unleashed divine abilities were forcibly slowed!
“Not good! It’s the laws of spacetime!”
One Undying King of the foreign realm discovered in horror that the speed at which he activated his king weapon had become as slow as a snail.
The dandelions of destruction sent out by Pu Demon King also had their trajectories through the air become clearly visible, their speed greatly reduced.
Even Kundi felt a faint, obscure interference in the circulation of his own Great Dao!
“Your Dao of spacetime remains as detestable as ever.”
Kundi snorted coldly. The Kunwood Staff in his hand struck down heavily, and chaotic energy erupted, attempting to disturb this stagnated spacetime.
However, since Wuzhong Immortal King had made his move, how could he have only this one technique?
