A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

The gap between them had already widened from the moment the battle for the title was decided.

This demonstrates just how much blessing a dragon's true name brings to the dragon race.

Just like the demonic dragon in the abyss right now, it is still one step away from becoming a quasi-immortal king. If it were to receive the blessing of the true name of the dragon, it would soon rise up and eventually evolve into one of the most powerful beings in the world. At that time, the demonic dragon race should be renamed the true dragon race.

Unfortunately, this was destined to be an unattainable fantasy. The demonic dragon never imagined that its identity would be exposed and that it would be targeted by a Celestial King-level powerhouse from the ancient world.

In the foreign lands, the kings, led by Kundi and Wushang, conducted their final pre-battle mobilization.

All the immortal kings are making their moves, disrupting the secrets of the universe, making the future uncertain and chaotic.

Chapter 626 Strategic Deployment in Foreign Lands

Even if a powerful immortal king, skilled in divination, were to intervene in the primordial ancient realm, he would not be able to foresee the major events that were about to unfold in the other realm.

Therefore, the foreign lands can confidently gather cultivators in large numbers, forming an iron-blooded army, and march towards the border.

This time, the kings made the most comprehensive preparations for attacking the Primordial Ancient Realm.

The strategy adopted was to launch a feigned attack on the Primordial Imperial Pass, where the war between the alien realm and the Primordial Ancient Realm was most frequent, to delay the advance of the Seven Kings of the border. Then, the two lords, Kundi and Wushang, would lead the most elite main force to invade the Primordial Ancient Realm from another realm gate and directly attack the two giants of the Primordial Ancient Realm—Wuzhong and Liudao.

The saying goes, "To catch the thief, first catch the king." Once they take down the Six Paths of No End, the Primordial Ancient Realm will surely fall apart and collapse without a fight.

Besides these two routes, one main and one feigned, there are also scattered immortal kings who descend from various abandoned interdimensional passages.

They will infiltrate the Primordial Ancient Realm from the intersection of the two realms, that is, the border line, and follow the footsteps of the elite army, advancing layer by layer into the depths of the Primordial Ancient Realm, killing the strong in the Primordial Ancient Realm along the way, and carrying out a plan of flat conquest.

In summary, the alien forces split into three groups and marched into the Primordial Ancient Realm.

Of the three routes, the main force is particularly important, as it will determine the future course of the battle. If successful, it will be a decisive victory; if unsuccessful, the war will drag on for a long time.

Of course, it is acceptable for Wuzhong Liudao to be seriously injured; it is not necessary to kill him. After all, he is a leader and giant of a realm, and he is not so easy to kill.

"Next, we just need to wait for those few pieces in the Primordial Ancient Realm to play their part," Kundi said, his eyes deep as he gazed at the Primordial Ancient Realm.

"For some reason, I have a bad feeling," Wu Shang suddenly said.

"Hmm? A bad feeling? Could there be a flaw in our plan?" Kundi asked, filled with doubt and apprehension.

It's important to understand that giants like Wushang don't make baseless accusations; any premonition could come true.

"Perhaps there is a problem on the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths side. In this life, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have produced a giant-level figure who is extremely powerful."

"That Yunhua has the Dark Giant of the Boundary Sea to deal with him, so he can't cause any trouble."

"I just hope the dark giants can buy themselves enough time to prevent the Immortal Realm from having the resources to support the Ancient Realm, otherwise things will become complicated," Wu Shang said.

"Yes, the strength of the Dark Faction's offensive and the length of time it takes to delay them will determine whether we can successfully destroy the Primal Ancient Realm. We must not be careless."

"It seems necessary for this old man to personally make a trip before the battle to remind the beings of the Dark Faction of the importance of this war," Kundi said.

Wu Shang naturally agreed, as it concerned breaking through the secrets of the King Realm, and therefore could not be taken lightly.

Not long after, Kundi left and went to the Boundary Sea to make contact with the dark creatures. He saw the Dark Immortal Kings gathering, their figures looming, about to attack the Immortal Realm...

In a foreign land, Luo Mo and Wu Xing found Wu Shang and expressed their desire to use this as a feint to lead a large army to attack the Primordial Imperial Pass.

Wu Shang didn't think much of it, but he was a little surprised. After all, killing giants like Liu Dao and Wu Zhong was a feat that would make him famous for eternity and was an unparalleled honor. No supreme immortal king would want to give this honor to someone else.

Luo Mo and Wu Xing actually volunteered to join the second route instead of the main force, to launch a feigned attack on the Primordial Imperial Pass.

"Are you two serious, fellow Daoists?" Wu Shang asked again to confirm.

As one of the oldest and most powerful immortal kings in the alien realm, Wu Shang has the right to make such a decision. No matter who it is, they will give him some face and will not go against his wishes, including Kun Di.

Therefore, once Luo Mo and Wu Xing confirmed their choices, Wu Shang was able to finalize the matter immediately.

The two supreme immortal kings exchanged a glance, both seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.

They nodded without hesitation.

"Can you tell me why? Following the main force of my realm can lead to unparalleled achievements, which is far better than a feigned attack on the Primordial Imperial Pass. That place has been managed by the Seven Kings for one era after another. Without absolute power to suppress it, it is very difficult to break in," Wu Shang asked.

"The Dao injuries I sustained at the Imperial Pass haven't healed yet. Let's go and launch a feint attack on that route. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, how can we face our fellow Daoists?" Luo Mo said leisurely.

While Lomo's explanation of the reason for their choice to launch a feint attack was certainly one factor, it was by no means the primary one.

The main factor was that they had a vague sense of foreboding, and both of them had great faith in the existence of the Celestial King's intuition.

Therefore, they volunteered to go to war, giving up their so-called "glory" and "merit" in order to save their lives.

A feigned attack on the Primordial Ancient Realm, while not just going through the motions and not putting in any real effort, doesn't require risking one's life. As long as the Seven Kings are held back, it's much safer than engaging in a fierce battle with the giants.

“I see, I understand. In that case, I’ll leave the feigned attack on the Primordial Imperial Pass to you two. I will invite a few more fellow Daoists to accompany you. You must hold back the Seven Kings of the Border and prevent them from supporting other battlefields,” Wu Shang replied.

Luo Mo and Wu Xing nodded: "Fellow Daoist Wu Shang, rest assured, we will certainly live up to our mission."

Wu Shang nodded, watching the two supreme immortal kings depart.

In other realms, there are many powerful beings at the level of the Supreme Immortal King. Even if two are sent to launch a feint attack, it will not have much impact on the main force.

The Seven Kings of the Borderlands have been fighting against foreign lands for many years, and their strength is not weak. However, with Luo Mo and Wu Xing in charge, the feint attack should not have too much of a problem.

Back in the Luomo Cave, the two sat down cross-legged and began to discuss the feigned attack on the Primordial Imperial City.

They unanimously decided that any feint attack should look like a feint attack, and they would never fight to the death.

Since we already know that this war is somewhat dangerous, why risk our lives?

As for the foolish thing of informing the kings of foreign lands of a guess, they would not do it.

Because Luo Mo Wu Xing clearly knew the kings' desire to break through the royal realm, at this moment, nothing you said would be of any use, and would instead be seen as disrupting morale. Therefore, the best approach was to remain silent and observe the situation.

The course of the war could be foreseen from the crucial first battle.

If the foreign lands are lost, then what Gengjin said is most likely true.

At the border, a massive foreign army was deployed, and cultivators from across the entire ancient realm were mobilized, converging in this direction.

There were so many sets, it was impossible to count them all. All I could see was a dark mass, filling even the cosmos.

One menacing warship after another floated in the starry sky, while countless plant-based race mother plants took root on the stars, greedily absorbing the essence of the stars and exhaling heavy gray mist.

In addition, there are various strange races unique to this foreign land, such as blood-stained, ferocious giant eyes, dragon bone demon birds shrouded in deathly aura, and huge creatures covered in bone spurs that grow in the darkness... None of them are harmless, and once they rush into the Primordial Ancient Realm, they will surely cause terrifying consequences.

All the cultivators from other realms were incredibly excited, trembling with elation. Their warlike instincts were activated, and each of them exuded a murderous aura.

They knew that war was about to break out, that they were about to storm into the ancient primordial world, conquer that magnificent and vast world, and establish unparalleled achievements. The martial spirit of foreign lands was what they longed for most.

Now, all that remains is for the Immortal King to give the order, and the army will set off and file in.

Chapter 627 The Movements of the Dark Pieces

Not only were the cultivators from other realms ready, but the Immortal Kings and Immortals were also fully prepared. Everything was ready except for the final push.

Soon after, Kundi returned. He had informed the beings of the Dark Faction that they must do everything in their power to slow down the progress of the Immortal Realm, as their alien realm would launch a blitzkrieg against the Primordial Ancient Realm and conquer the entire territory as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, the chess pieces from the primordial ancient world also conveyed important messages to this side.

On a pitch-black altar, light and shadow shifted, as if a dark spring was gushing forth, with endless black mist writhing and gathering in the void to form a row of ancient characters.

Several imposing figures stood around the altar, all of them immortal kings. They stared intently at the ancient immortal characters on the altar, their eyes gleaming, and couldn't help but utter the words.

"South China Sea Purple Bamboo Forest"

The kings knew that this place was a famous immortal Taoist land in the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Primordial Ancient Realm. The master was an ancient female immortal who held a grand gathering every once in a while, known as the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest Grand Gathering, which was extremely lively.

At that time, true immortals from all the heavenly realms will come to participate in the conference. Not only that, even the immortal kings will attend and discuss the Dao in the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South Sea. Afterwards, they will personally open an altar to preach the Dao.

Besides immortal beings, there are even more human beings, and a constant stream of young prodigies. Those qualified to participate are the top prodigies of the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Ancient Realm, including many young beings who have cultivated three strands of immortal energy.

This grand event is held periodically to strengthen the connections between the Thirty-Three Heavens and to make the ancient world more united.

"Hehe, according to the fearless lion and the demonic dragon, the Six Paths of No End will also be attending this grand gathering in the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea, along with a group of the most outstanding beings from the Primordial Ancient Realm, encompassing various realms."

"That's good, we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop and completely crush the Primal Ancient Realm." An Immortal King sneered.

The other immortal kings around the altar nodded in agreement.

This grand gathering in the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea has come at the perfect time, bringing together the elites of the Primordial Ancient Realm. The alien forces can launch a surprise attack at the most crucial moment of the gathering, catching the Primordial Ancient Realm off guard and annihilating all those elites.

The ancient, primordial world, the eternal sky.

This is an extremely vast realm of heaven and earth, bordering other realms and adjacent to the Great Crimson Heaven.

The Golden Crow clan, who govern the light of the human world, resides in this realm of heaven and earth. For this reason, this realm is in daylight most of the time, hence the name Everlasting Heaven.

This celestial realm is vast and rich in resources, a land of outstanding people and abundant talents, and has produced many powerful figures throughout history. Many famous and legendary beings were born and raised here. If we were to rank the thirty-three heavens of the Primordial Ancient Realm based on their foundation and strength, Changming Heaven would undoubtedly be among the top.

The being that rules this celestial realm is known as the Lord of Eternal Heaven. He is a being at the level of a Celestial King. Although his Dao Fruit has some flaws, in terms of combat power, he is undoubtedly a Celestial King.

For countless years, he has ruled the Changming Heavenly Domain, maintaining order in the cultivation world of this domain. Every so often, he would appear in a border city to deter other realms.

The so-called border city is a magnificent city located on the border between Changming and the foreign lands. Like the original imperial pass of the Great Dao Heaven, it has been baptized by war and witnessed one interdimensional war after another, and has long been a battlefield.

Once upon a time, this place was a battlefield even more devastating than the borderlands of the Great Dao Heaven. It wasn't until later that the sages of Changming Heaven, together with the kings, sealed off that battlefield and built a boundary gate to close the passage between the two realms, that the chaos subsided.

The border city of Changming is situated atop the boundary gate.

This boundary gate is of the same level as the Immortal Realm boundary gate. To forcibly open it, a certain price must be paid. Therefore, in recent eras, no alien realm has attacked this place, and the flames of war have been mainly concentrated on the borderlands of the Great Dao Heaven.

The ancient realm's defenses here were not particularly strong, and there was no true Celestial King in charge.

The Eternal Heaven God only appears once every few hundred thousand years; he does not reside here.

The beings guarding Changming City are mostly immortal beings from various forces in the ancient primordial world. Each force is responsible for guarding the city for a period of time, and then the guards are replaced when the time is up.

This time, it was the turn of the ancient monks to guard the place, and the sect's guardian beast, the Fearless Lion, volunteered to take on this task.

The eminent monks of the ancient lineage initially wanted to refuse. Although the Fearless Lion chanted scriptures all day long and was baptized by Buddhist scriptures, the ferocity in its heart had not dissipated. The eminent monks feared that if the lion, whose ferocity had not been extinguished, were sent to guard the important border city, it would cause great chaos.

Seeing the expression on the enlightened monk's face, the fearless lion knew what he was thinking. Deep down, he felt a little anxious, and a hint of savagery flashed in his eyes.

"If that old bald monk ruins my plans, I'll devour you whole," the fearless lion muttered to himself, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.

However, it dared not show it. The enlightened monk in front of it was a quasi-immortal king level immortal monk, much more powerful than it. His Buddhist teachings were profound, and he could sense even the slightest bit of malice. If the fearless lion had not wrapped its body with Buddhist scriptures, its thoughts would have been noticed by the enlightened monk.

As the fearless lion anxiously waited and volunteered, the enlightened monk's eyes flickered, and he finally nodded.

"I can let you go, but you must remember not to do evil or commit murder, otherwise the rules will be merciless," the old monk repeatedly warned.

The Fearless Lion was so excited it was about to roar out loud. Once it went to guard Changming City, it could secretly release the alien army into the Primordial Ancient Realm, making unparalleled contributions to the aliens. At that time, its Immortal King path and imperial status would be secure.

Success was within reach, and the fearless lion silently recited Buddhist scriptures, forcing himself to calm down.

On the surface, it appears peaceful, its eyes calm and still, like a serene and enlightened lion.

"Go, you represent our ancient lineage of monks, do not bring shame upon this lineage," the enlightened monk said.

The fearless lion nodded slightly, its two huge paws clasped together, radiating Buddhist light, and its golden mane made it appear even more sacred.

Then, the fearless lion set off, followed by a group of serene-looking monks, each with a string of prayer beads on their wrist.

Watching the lion and the monk depart, the enlightened monk couldn't help but ask telepathically, "Why did the Immortal Monk King send it to guard Changming City? That's a crucial border city, adjacent to a foreign land. What if something goes wrong..."

After he finished speaking, an ethereal voice rang in his ear: "Let it go if it wants to. Staying in the Buddhist temple for too long has forced the wildness deep in its heart to be suppressed. In the long run, this will not be good for its future cultivation. It is better to guide than to block."

The words of the Immortal Monk King made the enlightened monk suddenly realize that this was how it was.

"I see, Your Majesty the Immortal Monk King is wise." He quickly said. The Immortal Monk King smiled and said nothing more. He stood on a sacred Buddhist mountain, gazing in the direction where the Fearless Lion had left, his mind filled with many thoughts.

After the three Celestial Kings took turns attacking and fighting, the cycle of reincarnation in the human world was repaired and transformed into a powerful weapon. As long as the power is sufficient, even a giant who falls into it will be affected. It requires a considerable number of Celestial Kings to oversee it in order to unleash its full power.

Chapter 628 The Grand Gathering at the Purple Bamboo Forest

The other Celestial Kings also successfully completed their tasks. They spared no expense in setting up Celestial King-level arrays outside those abandoned interdimensional passages. If any scattered Immortal Kings were to cross the boundary from those nodes, they would inevitably be slowed down and unable to provide support for a while.

Now, everything is ready, and all that remains is to determine the direction of the attack by the foreign main force.

The fearless lion provided excellent guidance: Changming, Changming City.

If it guards this city, the main force of the alien realm will surely invade the Primordial Ancient Realm from there. In that case, their ultimate weapon—the cycle of reincarnation—can be deployed there.

In this situation, the Immortal Monk King would naturally be happy to see the Fearless Lion take office. If the enlightened monk refused the Fearless Lion's offer, then everything would be uncertain.

He moved his lips slightly, informing the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King and the Endless Immortal King of all this.

The two giants slowly opened their eyes, and Wu Zhong muttered to himself, "Is it finally coming? The battle that will determine the fate of the Primal Ancient Realm."

“Changming City is not far from the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea. If the foreign army passes through, it can directly attack Changlong and march towards the Purple Bamboo Forest.” The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King spoke, revealing the special nature of Changming City.

He believed that the foreign lands would not let this opportunity pass by, and that it was a certainty that their main force would pass through Changmen City.
