His raised right hand, its five fingers slightly curled, seemed to grasp some invisible authority. Facing the direction where Kun Di and the Pu Demon King stood, he gently clenched it.
Immortal King Wuzhong’s divine ability—Myriad Transformations Return to Stillness!
“Crack… crack…”
It was as if the sound of shattering glass rang out!
The void around Kun Di and the Pu Demon King began to show countless fine traces!
These fissures were not spatial cracks, but the manifestation of the Great Dao’s laws collapsing and sinking into extinction!
A terrifying Dao resonance that brought all things to their end surged toward the two foreign-realm giants like a tide!
This was a power of finality purer and more direct than the Dao of Immortal King Jimie!
Kun Di’s expression changed slightly. The Kunwood Staff in his hand swept out at high speed, evolving chaos as he attempted to stabilize his own Great Dao and resist that all-pervading power of return to stillness.
The Pu Demon King shrieked even more fiercely. Billions of runes blossomed around him, transforming into layer upon layer of defenses, yet that power of return to stillness seemed able to seep through everything.
His defensive light barrier was rapidly growing dim, losing its spirituality!
The moment Immortal King Wuzhong descended, before exchanging many words with his old friends, he used two supreme divine abilities to directly suppress the two strongest giants of the foreign realm!
His bearing, his might, shook the entire battlefield!
“Kill!!”
Seeing Immortal King Wuzhong display such divine might and firmly suppress Kun Di and the Pu Demon King, the morale of the Immortal Ancient allied army soared to its peak!
King Pan, Immortal King Hunyuan, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King, the True Dragon King, and all the other top combatants were like fierce tigers released from their cages, pouncing toward those foreign-realm undying kings whose movements had slowed because of the stagnation of time and space!
Because of Immortal King Wuzhong’s return, the battle situation reversed in an instant!
The Primordial Ancient Realm had finally glimpsed a sliver of victory’s dawn!
And the duel between Wuzhong and Kun Di, these two ancient giants, would surely determine the final outcome of this battle to defend the ancient realm!
At the edge of the Realm Sea, a dark tide surged and roiled.
Lu Xuan controlled the Chaos Bell, standing at the core of the dark waves like a pillar that could calm the sea. Black-yellow qi cascaded down, and bell waves trembled outward, reducing swaths of dark creatures to flying ash.
The Immortal Domain immortal kings responsible for guarding this place, along with the other true immortals, all stared at this scene in shock.
One had to know that these dark creatures were extremely troublesome. Not only were they vast in number, but after being corroded by dark matter, their combat strength far surpassed experts of the same level.
Those several dark kings comparable to supreme immortal kings were already covered in wounds under the Chaos Bell’s continuous suppression and slaughter, letting out unwilling, violent roars.
However, there were simply too many dark creatures, as if they could never be killed or exterminated.
They poured endlessly from the depths of the Realm Sea’s mist, one wave following another, frantically battering the Chaos Bell’s defensive light screen.
Though Lu Xuan was powerful, facing a dark uprising of such scale alone while also having to divide his attention to suppress several dark kings placed an enormous burden on his magic power and mind. Even the chaotic currents coiling around him appeared slightly disordered.
“These damned things really are difficult to deal with!” Lu Xuan’s brows were tightly furrowed as he felt a trace of pressure.
If he could not find the source of the uprising or crush its main force as quickly as possible, then once his magic power ran short, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Just as he was considering whether to use an even greater divine ability that would consume more of his origin to forcibly clear the field—
“Buzz!”
A gentle emerald divine light suddenly shone over from the other side of the Realm Sea’s mist!
This divine light was not blazing, yet it carried a powerful force that moistened all things silently.
Wherever the light passed, that viscous dark matter seemed to meet its nemesis. With sizzling sounds, it was rapidly purified and dispersed!
Many lower-level dark creatures, under the illumination of the green light, melted away like ice and snow, instantly turning into nothingness.
Even those several dark kings, when swept by this emerald divine light, had green smoke rising from the dark aura coiling around them. They let out painful hisses, and their offensive slowed.
“Hmm?” Lu Xuan’s heart stirred, and he looked toward the divine light.
In the midst of the endless dark tide, a willow tree, entirely emerald green and with branches dancing like divine chains of order, was slowly manifesting from within the Realm Sea’s mist.
The willow tree was incomparably vast. Its main trunk was vigorous like a dragon, and countless emerald branches radiated a gentle yet boundless radiance of life.
Every willow leaf seemed to bear a newborn world, flowing with Dao laws of purification and protection.
At the core of the willow tree, a hazy and transcendent figure appeared and vanished indistinctly. Its aura was ancient and powerful; it was astonishingly also an immortal king giant!
“Liu Shen?!”
A trace of surprise flashed through Lu Xuan’s eyes.
He recognized this willow tree. It was none other than that powerful being who traveled the Realm Sea in Perfect World—the Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit!
The Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit had clearly also noticed Lu Xuan, who was resisting the dark tide alone, especially the ancient bell above his head with its boundless might.
It caused that hazy figure of His to ripple slightly, as though He was greatly astonished.
“Who are you, fellow Daoist? Why are you here resisting the darkness alone?”
A gentle and clear voice rang directly in Lu Xuan’s heart, carrying a trace of curiosity.
The Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit did not recognize Lu Xuan’s inheritance. He only felt that this person possessed vast divine abilities, and that bell was even more unheard of. But judging from his actions, he was resisting the darkness and should be of the same path.
While urging the Chaos Bell to repel the dark kings that had pounced over once more, Lu Xuan replied through voice transmission.
“Immortal Domain, Lu Xuan. A dark uprising has occurred here, threatening the Immortal Domain and the myriad heavens. It must be eliminated.”
“Lu Xuan of the Immortal Domain?”
The Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit pondered for a moment, clearly having never heard of this name. But sensing the candor in Lu Xuan’s words, as well as his tangible actions in fighting the darkness, He no longer harbored many doubts.
“So that is how it is. I am the Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit. While traveling the Realm Sea, I saw this abnormal movement of darkness and came to investigate. Since fellow Daoist intends to quell the chaos, I am willing to lend you my aid.”
The Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit’s voice carried a natural goodwill.
He had fought against darkness for years, and toward anyone of the same path, He naturally held a favorable impression.
“Many thanks, fellow Daoist!”
Lu Xuan was delighted.
The Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit was a giant-level existence. His Dao of purification and life had an extremely powerful restraining effect on these dark creatures. With His assistance, the chances of pacifying this chaos increased greatly!
“Dark filth should be purified with life.”
The Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit said no more. His enormous willow-tree body erupted with an even more dazzling emerald divine radiance!
“Hymn of Life!”
Countless willow branches, like divine chains of order with lives of their own, pierced through the void and actively wrapped around those dark creatures.
Upon the willow branches flowed majestic life essence and Dao laws of purification. The dark creatures entangled by them were not destroyed; rather, the dark origin within their bodies was forcibly extracted and transformed into the purest life energy, feeding back into this corroded heaven and earth!
As one side weakened and the other strengthened, the effect was remarkable!
“Pure Land, unfold!”
With the Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit at the center, a green pure land filled with vitality and peace rapidly expanded, forming a stark opposition against the surrounding domain of darkness.
Within the pure land, the laws were orderly and darkness retreated, greatly weakening the power of the dark creatures while providing Lu Xuan with a stable area for recovery.
With the Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit’s powerful support, the pressure on Lu Xuan abruptly lessened!
He let out a long howl, seized the opportunity, and drove the Chaos Bell with all his might!
“Chaos Bell—Primordial Judgment!”
