"I will open the city gates now and let the army pass through." The Fearless Lion spoke, his face full of excitement, and the bloodlust in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Kundi and the others nodded slightly and waited quietly for the city gate to open.

"Boom!"

The ancient city gates, sealed for countless years, roared open, and countless immortal symbols flashed, as if a vast ancient history book had been opened.

Seeing the renowned gate open for them, the alien creatures were incredibly excited and couldn't help but let out soft growls, eager to rush in immediately, wreak havoc in the ancient primordial realm, and achieve great deeds.

The immortal kings, including Kundi, remained calm and expressionless, their eyes gleaming with an immortal light as they surveyed what lay ahead.

Even though the Fearless Lion has defected to a foreign land and become their pawn and spy, we still cannot be careless.

After inspecting the city and confirming that there were no problems, the kings set off, riding their mounts and stepping into Changming City.

The once heavily fortified Changming City has been "emptied" by the Fearless Lions. Some troops have been "transferred" or "swallowed up." The entire border city is deserted, with only the Fearless Lions opening the city gates to welcome the foreign army inside.

The foreign kings observed their surroundings and, finding nothing amiss, were quite satisfied with the Fearless Lion's abilities, offering their verbal affirmation.

The fearless lion then took the opportunity to inquire about the promises previously made by the alien realm.

Kundi confirmed that his previous promises remained valid and that the foreign lands never broke their word.

With a promise from such a heavyweight as Kundi, the Fearless Lion was relieved and overjoyed, waiting only for the victory in this battle so that the foreign land could fulfill its promise.

At the same time, it did not forget to help its fellow practitioners by recounting the achievements of the progenitor of the Demon Dragon Clan.

As they spoke, the entire foreign army had already entered, filling the vast space within Changming City to the brim.

Just as Kundi and Wushang were preparing to give the order to strike Changlong and head straight for the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea, the Changming City Gate, which had been wide open, was suddenly controlled by an unknown force and slammed shut with a loud bang.

"Hmm?" The kings from the foreign lands turned around and finally realized that something was wrong.

……

In the Boundary Sea, Yunhua and Liushu watched from afar as the Immortal King from another realm entered the Nine Heavens. Their mission was to prevent reinforcements from the Dark Giant of the Boundary Sea and also to guard against the Immortal King from igniting the Boundary Extinction Incense.

At the same moment, in the Immortal Realm, outside a magnificent gate, shadowy figures stood amidst billowing mist, their bodies shrouded in thick black fog, exuding an ominous aura.

This is the dark army led by the Dark Immortal King, coming from the Boundary Sea, intending to storm into the Immortal Realm through this gate and attack this so-called homeland of immortals.

Chapter 631 Changes in the Immortal Realm

The tall and imposing gate to the immortal realm stands in the void, reaching to the heavens and earth. It is forged from various supreme immortal materials, exuding a majestic and towering aura.

On both sides of the boundary gate are endless, equally tall fortresses, which were originally hidden in the void, but would appear once someone activated them.

At this moment, the city gate tower and the fortress walls were filled with celestial soldiers and generals, many of them with solemn expressions, looking down at the city below as if facing a formidable enemy.

There are only ten such massive gates in the entire Immortal Realm, and the beings guarding them are all renowned figures, at the very least quasi-Immortal Kings. Only a few passes are personally guarded by Immortal Kings.

The place where the dark army gathered was presided over by an incomparably powerful Immortal King. This was a supreme Immortal King, known as the Void King, who had a very high prestige in the Immortal Realm and was respected by all. He had made great contributions to the Immortal Realm.

He stood atop the gate tower, gazing at the dark army below, his expression unchanged, calm and serene.

Meanwhile, the Quasi-Immortal King was already covered in sweat, quite frightened by the sheer size of the dark army.

So many Dark Immortal Kings have gathered to attack the Immortal Realm Gate; it's been a long time since anything like this has happened.

The power of the Immortal Realm is well known, and almost no force dares to do this. Even other realms have to consider the cost of attacking the Immortal Realm.

Who would have thought that the creatures of darkness would be so bold as to lead their troops to attack the pass and besiege the city?

"Lord Void King, the dark creatures are coming in large numbers and are overwhelming. Do you think we should inform the other Immortal Kings and request reinforcements?" Seeing that the Void King was not making any move, neither fighting the dark creatures nor sounding the alarm or asking for help from within the Immortal Realm, the Quasi-Immortal King became very anxious and hurriedly reminded him.

Upon hearing this, the Void King suddenly revealed a strange smile, causing the Quasi-Immortal King who had spoken to shudder inexplicably.

"Request for help? Request what help? They are our reinforcements." He spoke with a smile, his voice cold and eerie.

The Quasi-Immortal King was momentarily confused. What "reinforcements"? Weren't the creatures below the city dark beings?

The next moment, before he could figure out what was going on, the Void King grabbed his neck. A feeling of suffocation came over him. The Quasi-Immortal King stared wide-eyed at the "Lord Void King" in front of him in disbelief. When he saw the coldness and mockery deep in the Void King's eyes, he finally understood that this Lord Void King was in cahoots with the dark creatures below the city.

"Ho!"

The quasi-immortal king wanted to speak, but he couldn't. With an immortal king grabbing his neck like this, his chances of survival were zero unless the other party dispelled his killing intent.

But this is impossible, because the Void King is a being of the dark camp, who has been lurking in the Immortal Realm without ever being exposed. His primordial spirit has remained unchanged since time immemorial, without any trace of being corrupted by darkness. At this moment, he is baring his fangs, intending to open the gate to the Immortal Realm and let the beings of the dark camp into the Immortal Realm. How could he possibly let a troublesome quasi-Immortal King live?

"puff!"

The quasi-immortal king's neck was snapped, blood spurting out. The next moment, a blazing ball of light fell into the Void King's hand. With a gentle squeeze, the quasi-immortal king died, unable to even utter a scream. The difference in strength was like heaven and earth.

The Immortal King guarding the city gate killed the Quasi-Immortal King guarding the city gate. This shocking scene was witnessed by many living beings, and many immortal soldiers and generals were terrified and at a loss.

Several True Immortals reacted, their faces filled with terror, and then they rose from the ground and flew towards the interior of the Immortal Realm, trying to escape.

"Heh, think you can escape?"

The Void King sneered, and as soon as he finished speaking, those fleeing True Immortals were grabbed by countless ethereal hands, unable to move an inch.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft..."

A series of low explosions rang out, and the five True Immortals died instantly, their blood splattering across the sky.

All of this happened extremely quickly, in just a brief moment. Only after those True Immortals died tragically did the phenomenon of Quasi-Immortal Kings falling occur, followed closely by the celestial phenomenon of True Immortals falling.

If these magnificent celestial phenomena are allowed to rise, they will surely alarm the distant immortal realms and put them on alert.

Therefore, the Void King directly took action, using his overwhelming magical power to forcefully suppress all the celestial phenomena, preventing them from appearing.

While he was doing these things, his loyal subordinates, the generals and commanders who were also born of dark beings, began a great purge, turning their swords against those around them.

No one would have imagined that the seemingly peaceful and ethereal beings would be so dark in nature, suddenly turning their knives against them.

Therefore, many celestial soldiers and generals were killed by the surrounding dark creatures before they could even react.

At that moment, shouts of shock and anger, roars, screams, cries of resentment, and the sound of blood splattering echoed throughout the city gate tower and the fortress.

In the blink of an eye, the defenses of the Immortal Realm Gate collapsed. During this process, the dark army beneath the gate did not lose a single soldier. The collapse of the Immortal Realm's defenses was entirely due to internal problems.

After the bloodshed, the surviving creatures grinned savagely, overjoyed, for they would finally no longer have to wear masks in the Immortal Realm and would soon be able to revert to their original forms.

"The light will be extinguished, but the darkness will last forever!"

The Void King shouted loudly, which stirred the blood of the dark immortal soldiers and generals whose hands were stained with blood, and they shouted along with him.

"Boom!"

A tremendous sound rang out, and the immortal realm gate, a majestic ancient pass that had remained unconquered for dozens or even hundreds of epochs, was opened to the dark army, welcoming their arrival.

Not only this city, but this entire frontier of the universe was also stained red with blood, with cries of agony and screams echoing everywhere, resembling a living hell.

Another undercover agent, no longer concealing his identity, massacred the universe he ruled, and then led a group of loyal followers to this place to join the main force of darkness that was about to enter the Immortal Realm.

Not only that, but similar rebellions also broke out in other vast universes. In addition to the Void King who guarded the gate of the Immortal Realm and the Venerable King who led his army to attack this place, two other Immortal Kings revealed their true colors and began to slaughter their own people. The entire universe was turned into mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with rivers of blood flowing and countless sources of life reduced to ashes.

The once dazzling and prosperous Immortal King City has become a thing of the past, directly shattered by the Immortal King who revealed his true colors.

All the beings of the various sects and Immortal King families stationed in Immortal King City were annihilated, leaving no place for burial, and there was no time to even send a message.

However, their demise eventually attracted the attention of those ancient lineages, because they all left soul lamps in their clans or sects. Such a large-scale extinction of soul lamps could only mean one thing: that the inhabitants were wiped out in an instant.

The immortal beings from all the ancient lineages and immortal king families in the Immortal Realm who were responsible for guarding the Soul Lamp were shocked and immediately reported the matter, which directly alarmed the Immortal King.

An ancient being opened its eyes and gazed in that direction. The scene that came into view startled even the Celestial King.

What did they see? One of the ten great gates of the Immortal Realm was now awash in blood, with billowing black energy.

Chapter 632 Dark Creatures Enter the Immortal Realm

The supreme immortal king, Void King, who was responsible for guarding that boundary gate, was completely unharmed. Surrounded by overwhelming darkness, he took the initiative to open the boundary gate and welcome the dark creatures into the pass.

One powerful Dark Immortal King after another poured into the Immortal Realm, followed by countless dark creatures.

This was a terrifying force that brought forth a vast ocean of darkness, like a drop of ink, concentrated countless times, falling into a pool of celestial liquid, rapidly polluting the void and eroding the heavens and earth.

In a mere instant, that remote corner of the universe was plunged into darkness, and countless cradles of life were affected and corrupted by darkness.

Such a horrifying scene startled the Celestial Kings, who usually didn't appear for hundreds of thousands of years, causing them to sit up in shock.

Without a doubt, this was an unprecedented upheaval. A supreme Immortal King with illustrious achievements in the Immortal Realm plunged into darkness, leading the way for the darkness, and colluding with it from within and without to attack the Immortal Realm, triggering a terrible black calamity.

Immediately, a Celestial King emerged from his secluded cultivation place, his vast power sweeping across the heavens and earth, causing all living beings in the entire Celestial King Universe to tremble.

"What happened? Why did the Immortal King appear in this way, with anger?" The cultivators of the Immortal Realm stared in astonishment at the towering Dharma Heaven and Earth in the Immortal King City, their minds filled with countless speculations, wondering what had happened.

One after another, Immortal Kings emerged from seclusion, displaying their might and gazing upon the borderlands. Among them were the progenitor Immortal Kings of ancient lineages and the patriarchs of top-tier clans, their numbers astonishing.

Ao Sheng, who called himself the overlord of immortals, also emerged from seclusion. His allies, Tai Shi and Yuan Chu, as well as his confidante, a peerless female immortal king, all awoke and looked towards the border to observe the situation there.

"Bringing dark creatures into the pass? Void King, Venerable King, Fusion King, Feather King, you will all die a thousand deaths." Ao Sheng spoke domineeringly, his eyes filled with astonishing killing intent.

However, instead of immediately setting off with his allies to attack that direction, he gazed intently at the universe where his old rival, the Immortal King Wuji, resided.

At this moment, in the Immortal Realm, apart from the giants who had not appeared for more than a dozen eras and the Immortal Kings who were in seclusion, all the other Immortal Kings were awakened by the fall of the Realm Gate and released their Immortal King auras, standing in opposition to the King of the Dark Faction.

However, the Wuji Universe was completely silent. Even the universes where Panwang and Hunyuan Immortal King, who had always maintained neutrality, resided were completely still, with no movement emanating from them.

This shouldn't be happening. The Immortal Kings of Ao Sheng's camp communicated telepathically across the endless void, discussing this matter.

They unanimously decided that without Panwang, Wuji, and others appearing, they would not engage in a full-scale battle with the Dark Immortal King.

The reason is simple: the Dark Immortal King carries a massive amount of dark matter. Fighting him will inevitably lead to contamination, and after the battle, one will be weakened. If one fights too hard, one may be taken advantage of by the Immortal King of the opposing faction.

Just as the Immortal Kings in Ao Sheng's camp were filled with doubt and hesitated to move forward, the Immortal Kings from other universes set off towards the frontier without hesitation, as if they had received some kind of order.

Seeing this, Ao Sheng and the others assumed that the Immortal Kings were worried about the Immortal Realm being corrupted by darkness, which was why they were so active. Their attention remained on Pan Wang, Wuji, and others.

However, no matter how Ao Sheng, Tai Shi, and Yuan Chu tried to deduce the situation, they could not find out the whereabouts of Pan Wang and the others, nor did they know where they were.

"Heh, in my opinion, they are afraid of the Black Calamity and are pretending to be in seclusion, hiding in some secret place," said the Primordial Immortal King with a sneer.

The Immortal Kings of the Immortal Realm have all assembled and descended to the edge of the universe. Behind them, one after another enormous starships sped towards them, filling the empty and silent universe to the brim.

The Immortal Realm forces reacted very quickly, having already made similar assumptions and contingency plans. There was no other way; the Immortal Realm was constantly at war with external enemies, and with the Great Purge approaching, the kings had long been prepared to take precautions.

The kings gathered, and the celestial kings' images were tall and majestic, like insurmountable celestial mountains standing at the forefront, their overwhelming power blocking the surging black mist and preventing the black calamity from spreading further.

However, the fact that the dark army has invaded the Immortal Realm is undeniable.

With four powerful traitors—King Xu, King Zun, King Rong, and King Yu—it would be incredibly easy to let the dark army enter the pass.

A dozen or so Dark Immortal Kings from the Boundary Sea coldly stared at the Immortal Kings from the Immortal Realm who were surrounding them, showing no fear whatsoever. They confronted each other from a distance, each exuding murderous intent.

To them, the Immortal Realm was a thorn in their side, a thorn in their side, and the leader and backbone of the Light faction.

If we can break into this place and plunge half of the Immortal Realm into darkness, that would be the greatest success.

Of course, their main objective was to hold back the Immortal Realm so that the Other Realm could safely destroy the Primordial Ancient Realm.

Their current forces are far from sufficient to conquer even a small part of the Immortal Realm, because powerful giants are lurking in the Immortal Realm. Once a powerhouse of that level makes a move, the battle will immediately turn into a losing proposition.

Among the dozen or so Dark Immortal Kings, one was a giant who had been lying dormant in the myriad realms. If it weren't for this attack on the Immortal Realm, he probably wouldn't have come out of seclusion so easily and would have continued to lie dormant, waiting for the arrival of the Dark Age.

"Hehe, as expected, those old fogies in the Immortal Realm are all in seclusion, cut off from the world. Even the Immortal Kings can't find them. Even if there's a huge battle here, they won't know."

"Some are even in seclusion, this is the perfect opportunity to attack the Immortal Realm." King Yu said with a cold smile.

The other traitors were also relieved, feeling that they had revealed their true colors at the perfect time.

The giants of the Immortal Realm will not participate in the battle for the time being. At most, one of them, the Cloud King, will be relatively active. On the Dark side, there is a giant who is enough to contend with them, so there is no need to be afraid.

"Charge forward and plunge this so-called homeland of immortals into the deepest darkness!" roared a Dark Immortal King.

Incited by the Dark Immortal King, the dark army entrenched in the borderlands of the universe became fervent and excited. For the first time in so many eras, they stormed into the Immortal Realm's homeland. This was a tremendous breakthrough, and naturally, it would bring darkness to the Immortal Realm and drown out the so-called light.

Various bizarre and terrifying dark creatures emerged, carrying massive amounts of dark energy, and charged towards the defensive line established by the immortal cultivators.

The Dark Immortal Kings also made their move, carving out an Immortal King Battlefield in the endless void, each seeking their own opponent.

A tremendous clash between darkness and light erupted.

Both sides were in perfect harmony and did not engage in any killing beyond their level. After all, killing beyond one's level only brings temporary pleasure, and the other side is not to be trifled with; they will retaliate, and the lower-level beings on one's side will also suffer.

Therefore, in addition to the Immortal King Battlefield, there are also the True Immortal Battlefield, the Supreme Battlefield, and the Battlefield for beings below the Supreme level.

The battlefield was particularly fierce among beings below the Supreme level, with all sorts of bizarre dark creatures charging towards the Immortal Realm army. There were terrifying behemoths with tens of thousands of tentacles, many times larger than stars, which could instantly shatter any Immortal Realm starship they caught.

There were creatures with thousands of vertical eyes, like dark monsters from the deepest depths of hell. With each blink, beams of light burst forth like a torrential downpour, annihilating countless cultivators from the Immortal Realm. There were also beings with three heads and six arms, their mouths full of fangs, wielding spiked clubs, charging through the Immortal Realm army, instantly causing countless deaths and injuries...

Of course, the Immortal Realm army was not to be underestimated. There were also peerless experts who took action, slaying a powerful dark monster with a single sword strike. Furthermore, battle formations were as solid as rocks, resisting the fierce onslaught of the dark creatures. Countless starships switched to offensive mode, and the sky was filled with the spells of cultivators. In addition, there were also the most precious treasures brought out by the various forces of the Immortal Realm.
