Like the Black Emperor, this dog was intimidated by Yun Hua for some reason, as if he were facing some supreme figure.
"This person is strange!" Black Emperor muttered to himself.
"You may step back now. I will take him to see the Celestial Kings."
"I am the Great Black Heavenly King!" The dog, resembling a black emperor, stood upright, causing Yun Hua's lips to twitch, giving him a strange feeling of returning to the world of "Covering the Sky."
"Become my subordinate, inherit the name of the Great Black Heavenly King's subordinate, dominate the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and be fearless!"
"Silly dog, get out of here, stop fooling around!" Yunhua patted Black Emperor's head and said disdainfully.
The large dog, which looked just like the Black King, bared its teeth, but ultimately said nothing more, yielding to its fear.
The Black Emperor led Yunhua to a grand hall. Yunhua looked up at the sky and noticed the gazes of several Immortal Kings.
This place is almost the center of the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The primordial energy of heaven and earth transforms into liquid, forming golden lotuses that contain the power of creation. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is real and true here, manifesting its own true form. Even Yunhua has gained some insight into it.
The place where the Immortal King resides is at the very center of the universe, a place of supreme creation.
A grand aura swept across the sky, yet it was not oppressive; it was the aura unconsciously emanating from the Celestial King. Accompanied by the sound of chanting, a handsome man sat cross-legged on a high platform. He looked at the Black Emperor, a smile appearing on his face.
"Little Blackie, I never thought that someone as domineering as you would be afraid of!"
"Hahahaha!" The speaker was a burly middle-aged man with a sacred mark between his eyebrows, exactly the same as the Vermilion Bird sisters.
The Black Emperor launched into a long string of words, such as "I'll let him have his way" and "He's not that old, so I won't stoop to his level"... which made all the immortals laugh, and the hall was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere.
After a burst of laughter and cheerful conversation.
Black King was drenched in cold sweat, his hands and feet were ice-cold. Hell was empty, but demons were all around. Could this universe ever be alright?!
How can you possibly satisfy us mongrel dogs? Tears welled up uncontrollably. This society is filled with oppression against mongrel dogs. When will we mongrel dogs ever be able to truly stand up for ourselves?
Black Emperor bared his teeth, indicating that he didn't want to talk, and returned to the side of Immortal King Wuzhong with some grievance.
The Azure Lotus Immortal King felt that this person's aura was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him when he was still a lotus flower.
That's possible, but how could it be? He was born of nature, with the cultivation of a true immortal from birth. There were no traces of human intervention in that chaotic world.
The Immortal King Wuzhong also felt that the stone hairpin behind the man's head was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. Finally, he remembered that he had encountered a dilapidated temple in the chaos, where the blurred-faced statue had the same stone hairpin behind its head.
Chapter 602 The Immortal King Gathering
"I've met you all!"
Although his true form far surpasses those present, he is currently merely disguised as a quasi-immortal king. This change in status brings with it some elaborate rituals, which is unchangeable.
"Let me introduce you, fellow Daoist. This is Immortal King Wuzhong, Immortal King Qinglian, Immortal King Zhenlong, Immortal Monk King, and the seven of us are the Seven Kings of the Borderlands. There are also some fellow Daoists who have not yet returned from the Boundary Sea," said the Vermilion Bird King.
"You may call me Time and Space." Yunhua did not reveal his real name. Yuanshi had already become an emperor, and the mere mention of that name would cause the wind and clouds to change color.
"It's truly astonishing that Fellow Daoist Time and Space was able to reach the Quasi-Immortal King realm upon birth,"
"Yes, you are stronger than I was in my youth. It reminds me of my ferocious youth. Wu Zhong, you were just as impressive!" said the Vermilion Bird King.
The Immortal King's words shocked all the immortals. This quasi-Immortal King's talent was comparable to that of the Immortal King Wuzhong, which was an extremely high evaluation.
The Immortal King realm is divided into several levels: Flawed Quasi-Immortal King, Flawless Immortal King, Supreme Immortal King, Immortal King Giant, Unparalleled Giant, and Emperor Light Immortal King.
The Immortal King Wuzhong is a powerful Immortal King, whose cultivation level is among the top in both the Immortal Realm and the Other Realm.
A Celestial King is indeed a Celestial King, standing above all the heavens, a miracle among trillions of living beings, and one of the most outstanding geniuses in the universe.
"Fellow Daoist, your path to becoming a King is likely to reach the level of an unparalleled giant!" The eyes of the Immortal King Wuzhong gleamed with wisdom.
They are not arrogant or haughty; instead, they give people a very friendly feeling.
"You flatter me. There is no distinction between high and low in the Dao; it is only people who are strong." Having reached this level of cultivation, Yunhua naturally knew that any of the Three Thousand Great Daos could be reached at the end of the path.
"Very confident, full of energy, that's how young people should be! Come to Diguan sometime, I have a few young girls, come chat with them!" The burly man had a knowing look on his face.
Yunhua was speechless. Even a Celestial King could have such a shameless person. It was a disgrace to the Celestial King's reputation.
I'm ashamed to be associated with him!
But since he's been so kind in inviting me... it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look!
They're all such lovely people!
Unfortunately... the ending wasn't good! Yunhua sighed to herself.
“Fellow Daoist Zhenlong, as the protagonist of this banquet, why don’t you say something too!” King Suzaku laughed loudly, acting just like a chivalrous man, without any airs of a celestial king.
"Let's forget about it!" The True Dragon Immortal King was rather taciturn.
"Don't worry about what we've seen. The key is to seize the present. Besides, variables have already appeared, and we may not necessarily lose!" Immortal King Wuzhong advised.
He understood the True Dragon Immortal King well, as he had also gone through this stage, especially since he cultivated the Great Dao of Time and had once gazed into the future and seen a scene of death, with only a faint glimmer of life, its location unknown.
When a Celestial King completes his tribulation, his primordial spirit will merge with the Great Dao of the Heavens, allowing him to glimpse scenes that are normally difficult to see or predict. It was at that time that the True Dragon Celestial King saw some scenes that were hard for him to accept, which made him somewhat depressed.
Of course, he was just frustrated. As a Celestial King, his soul was already immortal and even death would not change his expression. He was just a little regretful.
Then, addressing the assembled immortals, he said, "Fellow Daoists, let us discuss the Dao!"
As the celestial kings discussed the Dao, golden clouds descended from the sky, and golden lotuses sprang from the earth, transforming the entire world into a sea of gold. Each golden lotus bloomed, its golden light filling the sky, revealing countless profound truths.
Wuzhong, Zhenlong, Zhuque, and two other Immortal Kings who remained silent throughout.
In fact, this is the correct phenomenon. For them, hundreds of thousands of years is just a blink of an eye. They are beings who have traversed eras, so they naturally don't have many words to say.
Numerous wondrous phenomena and endless methods appeared one after another, mysterious and profound, like the divine sounds of heaven and earth, or the sacred songs of the Great Dao, constantly echoing in Yunhua's heart.
Time flowed quietly as he quietly contemplated and felt the changes in heaven and earth, the merging of the order of heaven and earth, and the laws of the Dao.
As they intertwined, various orders emerged. The subtle Daoist energy of the Immortal King's Great Dao and the Great Dao of the True Immortals deeply moved him.
This was the first time he had ever truly felt the essence of the Immortal Ancient Method, the profound mystery of being in harmony with the Dao and the natural order of all things.
He could have captured all the Great Dao, but the golden light transformed into a golden glow that slipped through his fingers, leaving only wisps of Dao essence, leaving a trace on the Great Dao.
His brand-new spiritual treasure Dao Fruit is constantly absorbing the Dao essence of the Immortal King, replenishing itself, and continuously expanding the Dao of the World, making it constantly sublimate in an attempt to reach the limit of the Immortal King.
All things give birth to spirituality, and living beings fill that spirituality. Over the long course of time, they eventually converge in one place, transforming from mortals to gods, and ultimately becoming the will of the universe—the Way of Heaven!
The Heavenly Dao within the inner world gradually converged into Yunhua's body, transforming into a pure and pristine Shangqing Qi.
The principles of nature and all things are contained within it, and the principles of existence are evolved once again. This time, it does not completely move towards the way of survival, but rather explains the way of continuation from a supplementary perspective.
When this spiritual body returns to its original form in the future, the path of existence will be able to absorb the principles of existence and be greatly enhanced.
Worlds appeared around him, like ancient divine kingdoms, or like the spiritual treasure path that continues the principles of heaven and earth. Streams of pure qi flowed around his body and gathered in one place. Yunhua's aura became increasingly dark and ethereal, as if he had merged with heaven and earth.
"The future is promising!" Immortal King Wuzhong exclaimed, then immersed his mind in the Dao realm once more.
Not only did Yunhua make great progress, but everyone present also made improvements. The Immortal Kings' Dao Discussion was no ordinary opportunity, and even Quasi-Immortal Kings gained profound insights from it.
Yunhua gained the most. As a Celestial King, he was able to keenly grasp all the essence of the sermon that was useful to his Dao Fruit and absorb it to fill his own supreme Dao.
One world after another was created, guarding the emperor. The surging chaotic energy shocked some true immortals. This posture was very similar to that of a certain immortal king.
"Could he be that person's successor!"
"But I didn't feel the power of faith!"
At this moment, a series of strange figures appeared in the borderlands. They came to the foot of the Imperial Pass, stood for a while, and then left. With the help of the power of the strange treasure, none of them noticed them.
The Nine Heavens had been at peace for millions of years, and the troops stationed at the Imperial Pass had become somewhat lax. But today, this peace seemed to have been shattered.
In this era, the Heavenly Abyss had not yet formed; it was the Imperial Pass that blocked everything, eternally unchanging, and forever above the heavens.
The families of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands have taken root in the Imperial Pass, serving as the front line, guarding the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and are revered by all living beings in the Nine Heavens.
The sacred mark between their brows is the mark of their bloodline, but ironically, in the next era, this sacred mark will become a mark of sin, leaving people with a deep sense of unease.
The chaotic swirling air obscured the figures of several people, making them impossible to see clearly.
Chapter 603 The Immortal King Knocks on the Gate
Aside from a few figures, there was also an altar that reached the heavens and the earth, magnificent and grand, which had been moved there by people, as if some kind of grand ceremony was being held.
The altar and the lake are illusory, with ancient figures sitting cross-legged. In the distance, one can vaguely see fragments of time emerging, endlessly turning.
"Greetings to the Immortal King!"
At almost the same time, everyone knelt on the ground, worshipping and revering with fanaticism.
Even the savage beasts and their mounts bowed on the ground with fanatical reverence.
The words "Immortal King" are enough to shake the stars and crush eternity!
Only when someone on the altar hummed in agreement did the army rise and stand there, looking up at the altar like ants gazing at a dragon in the sky.
"You all step back!" several tall figures shouted, urging the army to retreat.
Many people looked solemn, recognizing those individuals as immortals—immortals from their own side, equivalent to true immortals from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
The foreign army was highly disciplined; upon hearing the order, they immediately retreated in perfect unison.
Soon, not far away, the group of people who had retreated a great distance felt their breathing catch in their throats, and they vaguely sensed an inexplicable and terrifying pressure sweeping across the world.
What is this for?
"It's time for the Nine Heavens to be destroyed!"
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a loud roar resounded, and a massive power surged from the altar. Darkness enveloped the heavens and earth, sweeping across the land, its terrifying aura sending shivers down everyone's spines.
Above the altar, sonic waves surged and the void shattered. A figure sat cross-legged on a chariot, shrouded in black mist, exuding an aura of destruction.
boom!
In the vast desert, a weapon was unleashed—a long spear, gleaming with brilliant golden light, flowing with golden radiance, its Geng metal aura shining through the ages. It forcefully pierced into the Imperial Pass, its sharpness unparalleled, the howling winds causing the stars in the sky to seem dim and lifeless at that moment.
Anlan Spear!
This is the weapon of the ancient ancestor Anlan, known as indestructible. Even the strongest ant in the future will be pierced by this thing, its blood splattering across the starry sky.
Of course, Anlan, the king of trash talk, isn't particularly strong; he's just good at ganging up on people and racking up kills.
The army was shocked. Their king was going all out to shatter the Imperial Pass and completely overcome it.
Everyone was excited; the Immortal King had actually taken action himself!
Nothing in this world could withstand that terrifying power. If it weren't for the array flags protecting them, they would have been instantly annihilated!
"Not good, the Immortal King is knocking on the gate." On the imperial city, a guard's expression suddenly changed as he sensed the vast heavenly might.
"Ring the celestial bell, blow the true dragon horn, the foreign lands have come to knock on the gate!" A majestic yet gentle voice rang out.
The next moment, the aura of the Immortal King burst forth, and a giant hand covered the sky and the sun, meeting the Immortal King of the Otherworld.
Clang!
The spear glowed, and a giant hand slapped the end of the golden spear, making a clanging sound, adding supreme divine power, and pierced towards the Imperial Pass.
"At the pinnacle of immortality, I reign supreme over the world; with Anlan here, there is heaven!"
The Immortal King flicked his finger, and a stream of light burst forth, striking the Imperial City. The entire Imperial City roared violently, with Dao patterns intertwining and runes shining brightly, almost bursting into flames.
That is the power of laws, the aura of the Great Dao, containing the supreme array that the kings once jointly set up. Now it has been awakened, and its divine power is astonishing.
Boom!
In the Imperial Pass, endless rays of light rose, like the power of immortals, vast and boundless, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and surging chaotic light, resisting the aftershocks of the battle between the immortal kings.
It was an astonishing sight; the area was a muddy lake, obscuring everything.
when!
Finally, a loud crash was heard, and An Lan's weapon fell to the altar, where it was caught by a large hand.
At that very moment, another massive, dark army appeared in the world, sweeping across the heavens and earth, arriving behind the altar—a vast, black ocean, radiating murderous intent—as it emerged from the void rift.
Millions of ferocious soldiers!
They came from a foreign land, their murderous aura piercing the sun and moon, utterly terrifying, summoned by An Lan.
"By the King's decree, sweep away the heavens!" the immortal roared, having received the King's order, and relayed it.
Instantly, a massive army responded, unleashing a deafening roar that caused many in the capital to change color.
At the same time, everyone at the Imperial Pass was on high alert. All cultivators knew that an epic battle was about to break out.
