"Rumble..." At the top of the sky, a huge cauldron shook, flowing with immortal light, dragged by a figure. The laws of the universe pulsed, and the imperial aura surged, suppressing Yu Tuo and preventing him from escaping.

No matter how angry Yu Tuo was, it was all in vain. He couldn't escape the cauldron and was slowly refined.

Cao Ya struck down with his halberd, injuring the Immortal King. The blood stained the Immortal King and was then absorbed by Tianhuang, nourishing Cao Ya and allowing him to freely use the True Phoenix Treasure Technique to heal himself and continue fighting.

Finally, under the fierce attack of Cao Ya and Meng Tianzheng, and mainly the fist wind of Di Ying, as well as the refining effect of the cauldron, Yu Tuo could not withstand it. He looked up to the sky and roared, full of frustration and resentment, and full of unwillingness.

"You should have expected this when you invaded our realm!" Meng Tianzheng said coldly. Such invaders deserve to be killed by everyone and should be torn to pieces.

"There's no time to refine the precious blood, let's just kill him directly... The kings from other realms are about to arrive!" Cao Ya said with some regret. The precious blood of the Immortal King has miraculous effects and is a first-class wonder in the world, extremely rare!

Sensing the speed of the kings, Cao Ya understood that they did not have time to refine their blood. The only option was to do everything in their power to kill Yu Tuo, the immortal king, within the Emperor Cauldron as quickly as possible.

Ye Fan and Di Ying were the main figures in this operation, while Cao Ya and Meng Tianzheng assisted them and also made contributions.

Soon, Yu Tuo's breath became very weak, on the verge of extinction, and he seemed about to perish.

Not only Yu Tuo, but An Lan on the other side was also affected by the Nine-Story Ancient Pagoda. The attack from that imperial shadow, coupled with Shi Hao's use of the Great Luo Sword Embryo, resulted in a sharp sword light that pierced through An Lan's body, rendering it irreparable.

"I have to go faster! There's not enough time!" Shi Hao felt a strong sense of urgency. The drop of blood in his body was about to dissipate and could not be sustained. The power that had previously given him assistance and the divine power of a Celestial King was waning.

He knew he had to hurry and deal with An Lan and Yu Tuo as soon as possible!

An Lan noticed his anxiety and was immediately overjoyed, laughing loudly, "That drop of blood is about to exhaust its power? Haha, you're doomed! The kings of my realm and the ancient ancestors of all sides are about to arrive!"

Similarly, Yu Tuo's remnant soul persisted, believing that as long as he could endure this short period of time, he could survive.

Shi Hao, the two imperial figures, Meng Tianzheng, and Cao Ya all unleashed their full power, their various magical spells and divine abilities spreading across the sky and earth, causing the Great Dao to roar and suppress the two immortal kings!

In the primordial imperial city, the blue-haired giant coughed up blood, yet he blocked the king's path, grinning as he said, "Want to go and provide support? Get past me first! As fellow Immortal Kings, do you think I'm inferior to you? If it weren't for Tianyuan and this imperial city, a one-on-one battle between the two of us would probably take tens of thousands of rounds to determine a winner!"

As he spoke, the blue-haired giant scanned the borderlands with his divine sense. The kings rushed over, giving him confidence. He said in a cold tone, "Today, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are destined to perish. No one will survive!"

The king's expression was solemn. He did not engage in a verbal dispute with the blue-haired giant. He understood that the most critical moment had arrived. The foreign kings were capable of breaching the defenses of the original imperial city and invading his homeland.

"I had expected this scene long ago, so why be sad?" the king muttered to himself. Before his eyes, countless lights and shadows seemed to flicker, including immortal kings, true immortals, and cultivators from all walks of life.

Those masters came from various races, rushed to the borderlands to fight against foreign invasions, and died on the battlefield.

"I'm all alone now, there's no point in living. Being able to take an immortal king down with me in death wouldn't be a loss," the king said softly, yet it carried an extremely strong threat to the blue-haired giant, sending chills down his spine.

Having gained control of the original imperial city and the power to manipulate the Heavenly Abyss, if the king insists on dying alongside the blue-haired giant, he will have virtually no chance of escape; death is the only outcome.

The blue-haired giant's expression changed drastically; a chill ran down his spine, and he became alert and prepared to retreat.

Although they were comrades-in-arms, he clearly could not sacrifice his own life for Anlan and Yutuo.

Boom!

"The heavens trembled, and the torrent of laws continued as before, but it also gained new power and began to surge, turning into a dazzling red light, like chains of order, containing the rules of the heavenly way."

"Not good!" The blue-haired giant's eyes twitched. This alien realm had been spying on the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths for more than one era. They had invaded at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era but failed to find the key. The past and present were separated by the Heavenly Abyss, and immortal masters could not cross the boundary—this had been verified by the lives of many immortals. Even the Immortal King had been injured and it took billions of years to heal!

What severely damaged the Immortal King was not the torrent of law fragments, but the divine chains of order, glowing red, sweeping across the sky, changing the color of the borderlands, and capable of destroying everything!

Even if the blue-haired giant were a supreme immortal king, he would not dare to face that power directly. Even if he did not die, he would be left with aftereffects, like a lingering affliction that would take tens of millions of years to get rid of.

"Hiss~~" In the distance, on the burial ground, a group of funeral workers exclaimed in fear, their scalps tingling.

"That's... Tianyuan's trump card!" Even the two Burial Kings were filled with apprehension and fear.

Even deep within the burial grounds, a strange change occurred, with the aura of a Celestial King flowing and spreading in all directions. It seemed that another Burial King, sensing the disturbance and fearing for the burial grounds, was awakening, interrupting some special cultivation, not caring about the loss of all previous efforts, only concerned with the safety of his clan.

The two Burial Kings immediately activated the laws of the Great Dao to send a message to the sleeping Burial King, preventing him from emerging into the world.

Although Tianyuan is fierce, it is not aimed at the burial ground; it is a war between the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and a foreign land.

The burial grounds generally do not get involved in these conflicts. Their people are few in number and each one is precious. They are unwilling to die on the battlefield. In any case, with several burial kings in charge, it is enough to protect the burial warrior clan.

Ordinary adventures and travels, or being killed in a head-on confrontation with a cultivator of the same level, are another matter entirely.

To rise to power, even to become an immortal, or to break through realms and become a king, these kinds of experiences are necessary.

"Buzz..." Soon, the commotion caused by the resurrection of the several Burial Kings subsided, and they continued to slumber.

"The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have reached their most dangerous moment. The king of the alien realm is about to arrive." The two Burial Kings sighed, not wanting to see the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths suffer a crushing defeat and be completely annihilated.

After all, foreign customs are a threat to any world.

However, the alien realm is too powerful. Even if the Burial Grounds join the battle and the Burial King personally participates, they cannot defeat the Immortal King. In fact, they will bring trouble upon themselves, shattering the Burial Grounds' peace for countless years and causing the deaths of many Burial Warriors.

"Tianyuan is about to explode."

King Zang understood that the Emperor's plan was to use Tianyuan to block the other kings, and there was no other way.

They sighed and gazed into the distance, where fragments of laws danced in the depths of the abyss, disrupting time. Red chains of order, their energy condensed and seemingly materialized, burst forth, wrapping around the two immortal kings and working with the five great experts to suppress and kill An Lan and Yu Tuo!

"Huh?" Cao Ya's expression shifted, a sudden sense of dread washing over him. Unlike those fragments of laws, this chain of order was indiscriminate, posing a threat to even the most powerful immortals across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"No wonder it can intimidate all the kings and prevent them from crossing the boundary! This energy is the key."

Cao Ya muttered to himself, avoiding the red chain, and watched as it broke into the Imperial Cauldron, cursing Yu Tuo.

Then, with another wave of his hand, he severed a portion of the Immortal King's divine soul, annihilating his will.

"roar!

"!" Yu Tuo cried out, struggling desperately, but to no avail, and his voice gradually weakened.

Ye Fan, the Emperor Shadow, slammed his hands on the cauldron, unleashing a torrent of primordial energy that refined the Immortal King.

Great supernatural beings at the Immortal King level are extremely difficult to kill. A single drop of blood or a fragment of their soul could bring them back to life, leaving them incompletely dead. Naturally, Ye Fan, the Emperor Shadow, must eliminate such hidden dangers.

"Bang!"

"The great cauldron shook, and in the end, it erased Yu Tuo. His true spirit shattered, and he died completely, with no chance of ever reappearing in the world. From then on, the immortal king of the foreign land was forever missing one."

"Waaah~~" Beyond the realm, the Heavenly Dao seemed to sense the impending doom and rained down blood as a mourning for the fall of the Immortal King.

Ye Fan Di Ying snorted coldly, raised his hand and struck, shaking the Heavenly Dao, and shattered all the strange phenomena.

"Do executioners from another realm deserve to possess extraordinary phenomena? Where can the billions of innocent lives that died at their hands seek justice?" Meng Tianzheng said, the Immortal King's Shroud having consumed a considerable amount of royal blood, becoming even more profound.

"The Immortal King is dead..." Cao Ya was invigorated. His hands were stained with the blood of a six-star being—even though he was a support and the main force was Ye Fan Di Ying, this battle experience was still profound and unforgettable!

On the ground below, including the powerful figures watching the battle, such as the burial warriors of the burial ground, everyone was stunned.

"The Immortal King Yutuo, just like that, is dead?" They felt it was unreal.

A dignified Immortal King died so easily, and in his final moments, he launched a counterattack, failing to take even those two True Immortals with him.

The alien cultivators were already at a disadvantage. Although the arrival of the kings boosted their morale, Yu Tuo's defeat and death made them extremely uneasy and anxious!

Who could have imagined that this war, which seemed inevitable, would end up with them at a disadvantage, with all the immortals they deployed being wiped out, and even one of the supreme King-level ancient ancestors dying in the process?

This unexpected turn of events caused panic and fear among the cultivators from the other realm.

Conversely, the morale of the cultivators at the Imperial Pass soared even higher, sweeping across the sun and moon and dancing in the sky!

Beyond the heavens, after eliminating Yu Tuo, Cao Ya, Meng Tianzheng, and Ye Fandi Ying did not linger. Instead, they went to assist Shi Hao and the second Di Ying in attacking An Lan.

Instantly, the Immortal King, imprisoned within the nine-story ancient tower, felt utterly hopeless, with no way out.

"If I die, none of you will have an easy time!" An Lan roared madly, his eyes bloodshot, his divine power surging.

"Executioner, you should have died long ago," Shi Hao said coldly, his sword flashing and shattering the laws.

"Hurry up and kill him, the kings are coming!" Cao Ya said, his battle halberd once again stained with the blood of King Anlan.

Meng Tianzheng waved the blood-stained banner, while the nine-story ancient pagoda and the cauldron of the mother qi of all things also launched attacks.

In the blink of an eye, An Lan followed in Yu Tuo's footsteps, her soul scattered and her dying wails filled with resentment and carrying the power of a curse. The nine-story ancient pagoda shook and wiped her out on the spot, leaving no trace.

The second Immortal King was surrounded and killed by the powerful forces of the Imperial Pass, and died without a burial place! He was reduced to a pile of dust!

"The blood debt of Xian Gu has only been partially repaid; there is still much more to be done..." Shi Hao said softly.

“Red King, Wu Shang…” Meng Tianzheng murmured. There were still too many immortal kings living in the foreign land.

Cao Ya pondered, "An Lan and Yu Tuo are both dead now, so the tragedy in the original book probably won't happen—but that's not necessarily true! The arrival of the kings is far more terrifying than An Lan and Yu Tuo!"

Cao Ya looked into the distance, about to head to the Primitive Imperial City with Meng Tianzheng, Shi Hao, and the others. They planned to kill the blue-haired giant first, then intercept the kings and protect the Imperial Pass.

Just then, Shi Hao let out a muffled groan, and that supreme aura dissipated. The two imperial figures, including the nine-story ancient pagoda and the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron, also crumbled and vanished in an instant.

"The duration of that drop of blood has ended." Shi Hao's face was pale. That drop of blood did indeed increase his strength, but the burden it brought was also enormous. If Shi Hao had not just embarked on the path of "using his body as a seed," he probably would not have been able to bear it.

Shi Hao's aura also dropped to the Void Dao Realm, no longer a strong figure among Immortal Kings!

This encounter deeply moved Shi Hao. He realized that breaking through to the Supreme Realm, the pinnacle of humanity, was not far off. He also gained a lot of insight into the future of the "using one's body as a seed" path, and would continue to delve deeper into the secret realm until the very end.

At the same time, Shi Hao regretted that he could not continue for a little longer, otherwise he could have killed the blue-haired giant again!

"Shi Hao, you go back to the borderlands first. The World Dao Ancestor and I will go to support the king of the Primal Imperial City."

Meng Tianzheng said that Shi Hao, at this moment, has lost the power of the Immortal King and is only at the Void Dao Realm. Even if he is a genius, he can fight against Zhanwo and fight against Dunyi, but going to the battlefield of the King Dao Realm is just sending Shi Hao to his death!

Shi Hao was aware of this, so he decided to descend to the mortal realm to continue participating in the battles in the realm of humanity.

"You don't need to come over!" Suddenly, the King spoke, transmitting his voice to the three of them and stopping Cao Ya and Meng Tianzheng from rushing to their aid—it wasn't that the King was confident he could kill the blue-haired giant single-handedly.

Rather, it was because the kings from other realms had finally descended, bringing with them boundless power that shook the long river of time, causing the heavens and earth to tremble, stars to extinguish, and the void to collapse, unable to withstand the immense power of so many celestial kings!

At this moment, even though the two True Immortals are powerful, they have their trump cards and control divine artifacts comparable to King-level weapons. However... when the Kings make their move, even the Kings themselves have no chance of surviving, let alone the True Immortals!

"Then the battle below will be resolved! Relying on the Heavenly Abyss, even the Immortal Kings above the Immortal Path can't cross the boundary!" Cao Ya said decisively, changing his target, sweeping his battle halberd, avoiding the cultivators of the Imperial Pass, and wiping out a large number of alien invaders.

Meng Tianzheng was the same; the Immortal King's Shroud fluttered, shattering countless corpses, and the blood-red light became even more eerie.

Before Shi Hao could even descend, all the invaders were wiped out, their corpses littering the ground and rivers of blood flowing.

In this war, neither Cao Ya nor Meng Tianzheng held back—the invading butchers and executioners deserved to be killed! To show them mercy would be cruel to their homeland and millions of comrades!

From the moment they decided to invade the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, they should have anticipated this outcome. It's impossible for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to surrender without resistance, allowing the invaders to slaughter and plunder their resources—that's a scenario they never even dreamed of! Every invader is a wicked villain burdened with sins!

"We've won..." On the desolate borderland, the cultivators of Diguan, covered in blood, stared blankly, seemingly still in disbelief.

"Not yet!" a group of supreme beings said, raising their heads to gaze at the distant sky with solemn expressions.

From which direction did a group of immortal kings tear through the void and step out, exuding an extremely powerful aura that pressed down on heaven and earth, almost suffocating everyone.

The cultivators fell silent. Suddenly, someone burst into laughter: "The invaders from other realms, who outnumber us many times over, have all perished. Even the immortals... hehe, even two immortal kings have died. Even if all the kings manage to invade, it's still a worthwhile trade!"

"Besides, with Tianyuan blocking their way, would they dare? They simply don't have the guts!"
