"This magic array is extraordinary; it was prepared specifically for us."
As soon as he finished speaking, the blue spear pierced through the void, revealing a scene of the annihilation of all worlds. The blazing symbol of the Immortal King lit up on the tip of the spear. He had used all his strength in this attack, without holding back.
"Boom!"
The universe crumbled, a scene of annihilation unfolded, yet the Immortal King's Grand Formation remained steadfast, blocking this world-destroying attack.
The Immortal King's expression changed instantly. What did his all-out attack mean? The aftershocks alone could destroy an endless universe, yet now it had barely an effect.
This alone is enough to show how extraordinary this Celestial King Formation is.
No matter what, it is the foundation of an ancient Immortal King lineage, originally intended to ensure the sect's eternal existence. Even if the lineage's founder met with an accident, the foundation would still be enough to deter enemies and protect the sect.
Now, with such a profound Celestial King-level magic array set up here, even if two Immortal Kings were to enter, they could be trapped for a period of time.
"What a magnificent Immortal King Formation! Our attacks were not ineffective; they were simply masked." The Axe-wielding Immortal King saw through the deception.
As long as they continue to attack the formation, it won't be long before they break through.
"Boom!" Two terrifying creatures attacked, slashing at one spot with all their might, trying to break out as quickly as possible.
The faster the support arrives, the less damage will be suffered.
The same thing is happening in the border regions of other celestial realms. When the abandoned passage is breached and the Immortal King truly steps into this world, the long-buried Immortal King formation will be activated instantly, trapping him inside.
Compared to offensive magic arrays, trapping arrays are more troublesome because they do not require expending power to kill the enemy; their purpose is simply to bind them.
Besides the Great Crimson Heaven, other realms that have encountered the cross-realm invasion of the Immortal King include the Yu Yu Heaven, the Fan Du Heaven, the Seven Luminaries Heaven, and the Xuan Ping Heaven, with as many as four and as few as two.
If these immortal kings were allowed to storm into the Thirty-Three Heavens without any hindrance, it would be a great disaster.
Immortal Kings are everywhere, launching attacks from all directions. The top forces of the Primal Ancient Realm are simply no match for them. In the end, they will be surrounded by enemies and unable to defend themselves.
Among the trapped Immortal Kings, Yu Yutian's side reacted the most violently, with a total of four Immortal Kings crossing over, a truly terrifying situation.
The passage they traversed was particularly special, as the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, one of the Ten Fiends, was rooted there. If it weren't for Wuzhong and Liudao summoning the ancient realm kings to a gathering, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass would never have moved.
When the four immortal kings cross over to the realm, they will inevitably encounter the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass. At that time, no matter how powerful the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass is, it will be difficult to escape death.
The Immortal Kings who had crossed over from the borderlands in a scattered manner were all trapped. Although they could not be stopped for long, it was enough for the Six Paths and Wuzhong to complete their ambush.
On the Great Dao Heaven, an ancient pass stands tall and magnificent, with a galaxy encircling its walls. Large stars revolve around the pass, emanating a vast and powerful aura.
This is the original Imperial Pass, the place where the Seven Kings of the Border were stationed, and also the place where the foreign army last attacked the pass.
Nine hundred years later, the foreign army has returned.
This time the scale was not as large as the last time, with only two supreme immortal kings and four ordinary immortal kings.
The two top experts leading the team were Luo Mo and Wu Xing.
Their mission was not to conquer the original Imperial Pass, but simply to contain the seven kings of the border in this direction as much as possible.
Even if we don't completely contain them, we must at least retain five of the border ancestors.
This would mean that the resistance encountered on other battlefields would be much less.
With this in mind, Luo Mo and Wu Xing naturally had no intention of fighting to the death. They just wanted to keep their opponents occupied here; there was no need for a life-or-death struggle.
They both had great faith in their premonitions, and therefore viewed the battle with pessimism, believing that the alien realm could not achieve its goal. Otherwise, given their strength as two supreme immortal kings, they would not have launched a feint attack from this direction; they would have chosen to confront the enemy head-on.
Luo Moqi sat atop the back of the three-tailed ancient beast, standing in the desert, gazing expressionlessly at the Primordial Imperial Pass on the horizon. Beside him sat the Five Elements Immortal King, cross-legged on an ancient war chariot forged from the Five Elements Dao Gold.
The four immortal kings stood side by side with them, with no distinction in rank.
Behind the six Immortal Kings were hordes of Immortals and a menacing alien army, a dark mass with bloodshot eyes and a pervasive ferocity. Every creature was panting heavily, their eyes fixed on the distant city, waiting for the Immortal Kings' command to charge fearlessly into the city and unleash a bloody massacre.
“Fellow Daoist Luo Mo, Fellow Daoist Wu Xing, the attacks from other directions have probably already begun. We should also send our armies to press on.” One of the Immortal Kings said.
Luo Mo and Wu Xing exchanged a glance and nodded.
"Yes, push forward," Lomo said, giving the order to attack.
As soon as the words fell, the entire alien army roared with earth-shattering force, their killing intent soaring into the sky, shattering the stars that fell to the ground.
Chapter 650 The Great Formation is About to Collapse
On the Primordial Imperial Pass, countless cultivators from the Primordial Ancient Realm watched this scene. They showed no sign of panic, for they were seasoned veterans who had been tempered by the flames of war and were not delicate flowers in a greenhouse.
At the very center stood two tall figures. One was dressed in animal skin and held a large white bone club, looking like a savage from a primitive tribe. The other was dressed in a crimson feather robe, with a full head of red hair, sharp eyes, and an imposing presence. They were the backbone of all the cultivators in the Primal Imperial Pass, the Stone King and the Vermilion Bird King.
At this moment, the other five of the seven kings of the border were ambushing the main force of the foreign forces outside Changming City, leaving only the two of them to guard this place.
In terms of top-tier combat power, the two of them faced the attack of six Immortal Kings, which put them under immense pressure. Fortunately, there were many Immortal King-level formations in the Primordial Imperial Pass, which allowed them to entangle with Luo Mo and the others for a while.
It's unlikely that the two of them can truly stop six Immortal Kings. For now, they can only try to buy time, wait for the outcome of the Battle of Changming, and wait for reinforcements from the Immortal Realm.
According to Wu Zhong, Immortal King Yun Hua would bring reinforcements from the Immortal Realm to support them after the great battle begins. Since these words came from Yun Hua, they naturally believed them.
"Luomo and Wuxing, what is your intention in bringing such a large army here?" The Stone King spoke first, his immortal king's voice booming and instantly drowning out the roars of the foreign army.
Luo Mo and Wu Xing were just there to coast along, so they responded when they heard the other party speak.
"What do you intend to do? Naturally, we've come to block the way. More than 300,000 years ago, you rejected our proposal, and we must provide an explanation," Lomo coldly replied.
"Explanation? What nonsense! Our two realms have been enemies for generations, and you actually think of searching for something in the Nine Heavens? Do you even believe that yourselves?" The hot-tempered Vermilion Bird King couldn't hold back any longer and shouted loudly.
The battle in the middle of the Immortal Ancient Era was triggered by the failure of negotiations between the high-level officials of the two realms.
The primary purpose of the alien realm is to find the seed that can unlock the ancient artifact of origin. If the kings of the primordial ancient realm agree to let them enter to search, then war can be avoided. However, this is impossible. How could two ancient realms that have been hostile since ancient times tolerate such behavior?
Therefore, a dozen or so immortal kings pressed the gate, launching a probing attack.
"Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say," Wu Xing coldly retorted.
Subsequently, Luo Mo and Wu Xing ordered their army to attack. Although they wanted to slack off and engage in more verbal sparring, with four Immortal Kings watching from the sidelines, they knew that if they slacked off too obviously, they would be discovered.
"Roar!" From within the army, ancient beasts roared, exhaling breath that shattered the void and the earth.
The six immortal kings pressed forward together, their combined power terrifying beyond compare, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.
On the city gate tower, the Stone King and the Vermilion Bird King's expressions changed slightly. Now, even if they were no match for the enemy, they had to go up. If the foreign army broke through the city gate and stormed into the Primordial Imperial Pass, it would surely be a human catastrophe.
Once upon a time, this magnificent ancient pass was breached several times, each time resulting in a bloodbath with no survivors, and even the city walls were stained crimson.
Those are the lives of people from the border tribes, their descendants. How can we stand by and watch such a tragedy happen? This war is inevitable.
"rise!"
The Stone King roared, and under his guidance, the Immortal King-level magic array hidden in the Primordial Imperial Pass erupted, transforming into round after round of blazing immortal suns that bombarded the six immortal kings who were attacking.
The Vermilion Bird King was also taking action. The situation was critical, so he directly used the resources of the border tribes to activate several Immortal King formations to block the progress of the Immortal King.
Once the Immortal King's Formation was activated, the Stone King and the Vermilion Bird King, relying on the formation, attacked the six Immortal Kings. A massive white bone club, condensed with the Dao bones of all races, was terrifying beyond measure and carried a murderous aura.
The Vermilion Bird King revealed its true form, transforming into a crimson Vermilion Bird that blotted out the sky. Each feather was a ball of flame, a symbol, burning fiercely there. Unlike the True Phoenix, which was known as an "immortal being," the Vermilion Bird's advantage lay in its speed and attack power. Each strike made the Immortal King gasp in shock.
Of course, Luo Mo and the Five Elements are not to be trifled with. They are supreme immortal kings, the most powerful beings below the giants, and are not easy to deal with.
Lomo's five-colored hand covered everything in the world; wherever it passed, the void would collapse and all things would perish.
The Five Elements rely on the powerful Dao Metal King Body, making it difficult for ordinary Immortal Kings to move him.
Even someone as powerful as Stone King, whose blow to Five Elements was so powerful that his hand went numb from the recoil.
Fortunately, the Celestial King's magic array provided support, keeping the battle at a stalemate. With the Celestial King's immortality, this battle will continue for a very long time, and it will be difficult to determine a winner.
Changming Heaven, Changming City.
Beyond the vast cycle of human existence, the ancient kings of the primordial world, led by the four giants, continue to do their utmost to maintain the operation of this cycle.
Just now, at the cost of some of their life essence, they successfully used the Six Paths Wheel to severely injure many of the Immortal Kings among the alien forces.
Although top combatants like Kundi and Wushang were unharmed, the results were already quite remarkable.
However, this is not enough.
The Six Paths Wheel has reached its final rotation. As the great war within the Six Paths world intensifies, the immortal blood essence sacrificed by the kings of the Primordial Ancient Realm is about to complete its final journey, burning out all its power.
Originally, the first world should have reached the end of its lifespan. It was the power of time injected by the Six Paths Reincarnation Wheel and the Immortal King of No End that forced them back to their peak, allowing them to exert their effects continuously and wage war, enabling the Primordial Ancient Realm to severely damage its enemies at minimal cost.
Now, the cycle of the six realms is about to end, and the cycle of human reincarnation is like a candle flame in the wind, about to collapse.
The kings of the foreign lands were all roaring in anger. They were supposed to have made a long-distance raid and delivered the final blow, but they had unexpectedly suffered a setback, were ambushed, and been defeated to their current state, which truly displeased them.
They were all holding their breath, ready to get revenge after they escaped the cycle of reincarnation.
Finally, the six beings within the Six Paths World were no longer able to survive; their auras plummeted, and they declined rapidly, instantly reversing the situation.
"Heh heh, ha ha." An immortal king let out a cold laugh, a ferocious look appearing in his eyes.
This battle truly dampened their spirits. Many Immortal Kings disintegrated multiple times, their very essence was damaged, and they were seriously injured, so they certainly could not continue to participate in the battle. On the other hand, on the side of the Primordial Ancient Realm, all the kings were at their peak condition, and they only paid off a little bit of Immortal King essence blood, which was not a big deal.
The contrast between the two was unacceptable to the kings of the foreign lands. They were furious and eager to break out and fight a decisive battle against the Primordial Ancient Realm, since their leaders outnumbered them. At the same time, they wanted to find the creature that leaked the information and tear it to pieces.
Just when they thought the time was right and were preparing to join forces to break free from the cycle of reincarnation.
Suddenly, countless blood-red symbols appeared on the barrier of the Six Paths World. They were scarlet and dazzling. The Six Paths creatures, already decayed and no match for the Immortal King, seemed to have heard some command. They shook off their opponents and rushed towards the scarlet barrier like moths to a flame.
This move took the somewhat weary kings of the alien realms by surprise, and they instantly realized the plans of the kings of the Primal Ancient Realm.
The Six Paths Wheel is about to come to an end. Each of its rotations has brought the beings of the Six Paths back to their peak, greatly depleting the power of the kings of the alien realms and exhausting the foundation of the human cycle of reincarnation. After this, even with more than twenty Immortal Kings in charge, it will be difficult to withstand the onslaught of the kings of the alien realms, and they are destined to vanish into nothingness.
Chapter 651 The Explosion of Human Reincarnation
Since that's the case, let it shine in its final glory.
At this moment, the void trembled, the Great Dao runes were densely packed, and an aura of world destruction overflowed. The Immortal Kings of the Primordial Ancient Realm spared no effort, pouring their Immortal King power into the array eye where they were stationed, and even dripping crystal-clear royal blood, which was as dazzling as blood diamonds, overflowing with rays of light for billions of miles.
Previously, the Six Paths Wheel had to suppress the immortal kings of six worlds simultaneously, which was an enormous burden. Therefore, there was a limit to the number of beings created by the blood of the kings. But now, none of that matters. This is the final dance of the cycle of human reincarnation, and the kings of the primordial ancient world are pouring their power into the world without reservation.
In just a moment, the aura within the cycle of reincarnation in the mortal world surged to a level that even the Celestial King found terrifying, like a fiery furnace that could explode at any moment.
"retreat!"
Liu Dao and Wu Zhong shouted at the same time, and the kings felt a chill and dared not linger. They immediately withdrew and retreated, leaving the array eye where they were sitting.
The Celestial Kings departed at an incredible speed, so fast that it would be an understatement to say that the stars shifted and the world changed. In an instant, they were far from Changming City. Along the way, they seized one life source after another. Even a Celestial King could not bear to watch the life of the Mother Realm be destroyed. The cycle of human reincarnation was about to explode, and a catastrophe was imminent. If they did not intervene, these life sources would likely perish into dust.
Of course, this is only done when there is an opportunity to save them, and it's done as a matter of convenience. If saving these life-source sites would damage their condition, the Celestial King would also make a choice.
When the cycle of reincarnation in the original story exploded, even a powerful being like the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King suffered a great calamity, and his massive weapon, the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, was shattered into several pieces, becoming incomplete.
In this lifetime, the cycle of reincarnation has been shaped by two giants, a supreme improvement, and the blessings of over twenty Celestial Kings. If it were to explode, its power would be even more terrifying.
At this very moment, the kings of other realms, caught in the cycle of human reincarnation, also sensed the impending crisis. The things that bound them were about to explode, their power enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.
"boom!"
The barrier between the six realms was blasted open, and the kings gathered again. Before they could say anything, the countless symbols within the cycle of reincarnation in the human world emitted a dazzling light, like stars being lit up one after another.
"This is bad, come here immediately."
Wu Shang's expression changed, and the bronze halberd in his hand emitted an unparalleled light. On the tip of the halberd was an indescribable symbol, radiating countless rays of light and auspicious colors, and a wave of power that suppressed all magic spread out.
Upon hearing this, the Immortal King, who was relatively close to Wu Shang, immediately set off to approach him at an astonishing speed.
Not only Wu Shang, but other giants also felt a sense of unease. Kun Di's eyes were cold and piercing. Without saying a word, he opened the mouth of the Immortal Refining Pot and, along with several other Immortal Kings around him, transformed into streams of light and disappeared into it.
During this process, one heavy ancient artifact after another flew out, including cauldrons and towers, layer upon layer covering the Refining Immortal Pot, covered with the runes and laws of the Immortal King.
The Purple Gold King was doing the same thing, using the Purple Gold Gourd in his hand as a temporary refuge. He and the Immortal King beside him flew into it without hesitation. Naturally, the other Immortal Kings couldn't just stand by and watch; they also had to contribute, each using their own methods to reinforce the Purple Gold Gourd's defenses.
The Crimson King's two weapons flew out simultaneously: the Crimson King Bell and the Crimson King Furnace. The Crimson King transformed into his true form, roared to the sky, and activated the Crimson King Bell, unleashing a vast ocean of time power.
With a "whoosh," a vast river of time swept over, covering the area until nothing could be seen, except for a crimson furnace that floated and sank at the end of the river of time.
Beneath the Demon King of Pu, one after another, immortal kings sat cross-legged, each using their supernatural powers to continuously strengthen the body of the Demon King of Pu. Countless dandelion seeds gathered together, transforming into blazing symbols that burned there, releasing earth-shattering power.
Where the Devouring King was located, the entire void was darkened. A gigantic, boundless demonic bird opened its blood-red maw, which was filled with the power of the Great Dao and the rules of devouring, as if it wanted to swallow the entire sky whole.
At this critical moment, the six great powers of the foreign lands demonstrated the responsibility befitting their status, leading the kings to form a defensive formation.
Just as the defensive formation appeared, the cycle of life began, and this terrifying furnace finally reached its critical point and erupted.
"boom!"
A deafening roar resounded throughout Changming Heaven, and even the neighboring Heavenly Realm felt a slight tremor.
The ancient kings of the primordial world, far beyond several universes, watched this scene in silence.
This explosion was devastating. Without exception, they all contributed a large amount of Immortal King's blood, much of which was essence blood. Each of them essentially fought a small battle.
However, the effect is astonishing. The explosion of the cycle of life and death will cause even giants to suffer.
