"They are the heroes of the original Imperial Pass!"
Cao Ya explained that the blood feud determination, which was hastily concluded in the past by forces such as the Immortal Palace and Sword Valley, has long been overturned. Knowing the despicable past of the Remnant Immortal and the dark and secretive people, there is no doubt.
However, according to the rules, these people, including Cao Ya, still need to be verified to confirm that they are not from another realm in disguise or have fallen into darkness before they can enter.
Cao Ya had no objection; this was a normal defensive measure, and it was also safer and a well-considered approach.
Otherwise, the alien realm is so vast, with so many races; who knows if someone possesses special talents or supernatural abilities, disguising themselves as someone whose divine sense cannot see through them?
After verification, no one was found to have any hidden dangers, and everyone passed the test.
The people who came from the original Imperial Pass had lines appearing on their foreheads, radiating a dazzling light.
Once, it was seen as a mark of sin and bloodshed; now, however, everyone understands that it is not a trace of guilt, but rather the mark of ancient heroes, a symbol of glory passed down through generations!
The original imperial pass was a borderland where kings were enfeoffed. There were two or three human kings, as well as the Dragon King, the Vermilion Bird King, the Kunpeng King, and others.
In ancient times, the kings guarded the original imperial pass, resisting the immortal kings of foreign lands, and made outstanding contributions!
The title of "King" is not only a reflection of one's realm and strength, but also a testament to one's contributions and military achievements!
With the appearance of the king, who severely injured the immortal king Yu Tuo, news of the Primal Imperial Pass began to spread and reach all directions. Everyone learned about it and was filled with admiration.
Immediately, the group entered the new Imperial Pass, where countless cultivators lined the path to welcome them with thunderous cheers.
Cao Ya noticed that the one-armed old man's eyes were filled with tears and his hands were trembling, while the other elderly people, children, and women were also excited and had tears in their eyes.
Cao Ya sighed inwardly, thinking that living in the primitive Imperial Pass must have been incredibly difficult for them; the casualties were too great, and they hadn't even had a complete life.
At this moment, the Supreme Beings such as Elder Qingmu and the Old Woman, as well as newly promoted Supreme Beings such as Kunpengzi and Qi Daolin, all came over.
Even Meng Tianzheng, who was in seclusion to consolidate his realm and familiarize himself with his power, has emerged from seclusion.
The world's Dao Ancestor, along with the old, young, sick, and disabled of this group of primordial imperial gates, are all heroes!
They deserve to be greeted with the highest honors!
In an instant, cheers and applause erupted, resounding through the sky!
Among the crowd, Shi Hao's eyes were red. He was the so-called "Sinful Bloodline," and now he had been exonerated and his ancestors' glory restored.
Moreover, by chance, he boarded an ancient ship and witnessed a scene from countless ages ago: the heroes of the Primordial Empire fighting against an alien army—a clash of kings, a battle of true immortals, and a life-or-death struggle between supreme beings!
He was still thinking about how to find that original imperial pass and see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, a great battle on the path of immortality alarmed the immortal king of another realm, and also made the king of the Primordial Imperial Pass appear, deterring the borderlands and boosting the morale of the Imperial Pass's army!
"The World Dao Ancestor, he is an extremely powerful figure. He is ruthless against enemies, yet kind-hearted to his own people!" Shi Hao murmured, showing great respect for Cao Ya.
"This is a good thing, there's no need to be sad, you should be happy," Qingyi said softly, standing beside him.
"Wow! I'm so touched, sob sob..." The witch burst into tears, and a few tears actually fell to the ground, shattering into pieces and splashing water.
"Pretentious!" Qingyi snorted, looking at Shi Hao with a complicated expression, a hint of feminine tenderness, and a sense of dissatisfaction, filled with resentment.
Shi Hao sighed helplessly, thinking of the three thousand Dao Provinces, Huo Ling'er, and Yun Xi of the Celestial Race; his head throbbed with worry.
However, Shi Hao also asked himself, who is the one he truly likes?
Yunxi's figure flashed by, and Qingyi and the witch also appeared, but in the end, it seemed that Huoling'er was the one who remained in focus, smiling sweetly at him.
"Sigh, don't think about that too much for now. In this war between two worlds, countless experts have appeared above the gods. Whether we can return alive is another matter entirely. If we hastily establish a relationship and then die in battle, wouldn't that delay them?"
Shi Hao thought to himself, with the great battle imminent, he suppressed his personal feelings for his children, focused on cultivation, comprehended the laws of heaven and earth, promoted the growth of the Niwan Palace world, and perfected the secret path of "using one's body as a seed".
On the side, Cao Yusheng, Tianjiaoyi, Shiguanwang, and others were watching the excitement, occasionally teasing and joking with Shi Hao and the others.
Qingyi blushed, and Shi Hao was also embarrassed. The witch, however, raised her eyebrows and glared at the group, appearing quite fierce.
Shi Yi glanced at it and silently shook his head. His cousin was too lucky with women, having many female companions. But Shi Yi felt this wasn't a good thing; romantic love would drain his energy and hinder his cultivation.
"What a beautiful scene!" Ye Qingxian clicked her tongue in amazement. It was indeed a fascinating thing to witness the legendary, magnificent "Desolate Emperor" and his various experiences in his youth.
Unfortunately, it is speculated that everything, all the beauty, will eventually crumble...
The source of this strangeness is terrifying; there are countless Immortal Emperors at the end of their paths...
Ye Qingxian sighed inwardly. Although she knew of her doomed fate, she would not stand idly by and watch the alien invasion of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. She would do her best to fight and kill the alien cultivators.
Since she was able to be sent back upstream from the downstream of the river of time by the three emperors to find the whereabouts of the Desolate Emperor, even though the backlash was enormous, it also shows that time can be reversed and fate can be changed!
Otherwise, what would be the point of later emperors fighting? They might as well commit suicide, which would be quick and painless, saving them from despair.
No matter how terrifying the source of the anomaly, we cannot admit defeat, nor will we accept our fate. We will risk everything to fight them!
"No matter what, I am a member of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths," Ye Qingxian said silently.
At this time, Cao Ya troubled the Supreme Being stationed at the Imperial Pass to arrange accommodations for the one-armed old man and others, while children who were not strong enough, or elderly people, women and children who were injured, were sent back to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
They were naturally unwilling. They wanted to fight, but they were too weak to even participate in the battle; it would only add a few more cannon fodder.
People like the old man and the old woman, who have guarded the Supreme Being for millions of years, have great prestige and are familiar with the layout of the Imperial Pass. They immediately made proper arrangements and did not mistreat the one-armed old man and the others.
Subsequently, a group of experts of the Supreme level and above gathered in the Imperial Pass Hall to discuss the upcoming war strategy, how to allocate troops, and how to divide up teams to rush to the aid of various battlefields as reserves.
People like the one-armed old man from the Primordial Emperor's Pass, as well as the recently broken Kunpengzi and Qi Daolin, were also present. As Cao Ya and Meng Tianzheng were the only two True Immortals present, the strongest beings, their opinions were of paramount importance.
In Cao Ya's memory, while his other selves had participated in many major battles, they hadn't experienced them firsthand. Furthermore, his understanding of the borderlands was only general; his knowledge of the specific strengths of both sides and their hidden strengths was insufficient and lacked detail.
Therefore, without saying much, he handed it over to Meng Tianzheng, who often came here to fight and had a clear understanding of both sides, so there would be no problems.
Meng Tianzheng did not refuse. This was not the time for courtesy. Those who appeared here were all fellow Daoists with the same ideals. They would not surrender and were willing to shed their blood for their homeland!
Ultimately, the plan was finalized. Each of the Supreme Beings had a specific mission, and one Supreme Being skilled in assassination lay in wait, ready to strike at any opportune moment.
As true immortals, Cao Ya and Meng Tianzheng's opponents are naturally immortals from another realm!
"To be honest, the pressure on you two is the greatest," the old man Qingmu said in a deep voice. "After the original three immortals were killed by the World Dao Ancestor, the Immortal King appeared and took charge of the camp. He had to issue an order and send it back to the alien realm, which attracted a large number of supreme beings and immortals."
"We have a large number of people, and we also have fellow cultivators who have made new breakthroughs. Furthermore, we have mastered immortal artifacts, whether complete or incomplete. We are not afraid of a battle."
"But you two, with only two of you, face far more immortals than you can count on one hand!"
Kunpengzi, Qi Daolin, the old woman, the Grand Elder of the Holy Academy, the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy, and other supreme beings were all deeply worried.
It goes without saying that the number of alien immortals sent to provide support is several times greater than the original number!
The most important point is that they know that both Cao Ya and Meng Tianzheng are newly promoted True Immortals. If the two have been tempered for millions of years and have reached the pinnacle of True Immortals, and can be called Quasi-Immortal Kings, then there is no need to worry so much. They are very confident.
Those who can break through the realm of immortality and become true immortals or immortals are certainly not weak!
Even though Cao Ya and Meng Tianzheng are exceptionally talented, they still have many concerns.
"We possess immortal artifacts and have pursued multiple cultivation paths, with varying magical powers and unique secret techniques, enough to rival immortals!" Meng Tianzheng replied. He thought to himself, at worst, he could detonate the fruits of his own "using his body as a seed" cultivation, nurtured for countless ages, and with his longbow piercing the sky, he could kill an immortal!
"We possess the True Phoenix Treasure Technique, a mere fatal wound..." Cao Ya said. This special treasure technique is particularly effective in battle.
A group of supreme beings had all studied the True Phoenix Treasure Technique and had some understanding of it. Recalling the great power and boundless wonder of the True Phoenix lineage's inherited treasure technique, they couldn't help but nod and feel slightly relieved.
Cao Ya stepped out of the grand palace and walked through the Imperial Pass. It was actually very large. Although it was called a pass and fortress, it was no different from a world in itself, with mountains, forests, and rushing rivers, which was magnificent and grand.
He also discovered that many young people were having a banquet, and he saw Shi Hao, Tianjiao Yi, Shi Guan Wang, and others boating on the lake, drinking and chatting, full of youthful vigor.
Many elderly people also gathered in the mountains and forests, enjoying the beautiful scenery and laughing all the while.
Despite the impending war, the Imperial Pass remained peaceful and harmonious, like a time of peace and prosperity, lacking the tense and oppressive atmosphere of the past.
“They’re relieving their stress,” Meng Tianzheng whispered as he appeared beside him.
The two figures were concealed, their abilities so profound that even a supreme being couldn't see through them; no one noticed them.
"We are still not strong enough," Cao Ya sighed. If they were Immortal Kings or even Supreme Giants, they could have swept across the alien realms directly, and there would have been no war like this.
"There's no need to blame yourself. Just do your best and have a clear conscience. Nothing in this world is perfect," Meng Tianzheng said, shaking his head.
Cao Ya nodded silently. The war between the two realms was so far-reaching and its impact was bound to be profound. Even three Immortal Kings had appeared. Not to mention human cultivators, even the two True Immortals themselves were not confident that they could return alive.
Anxious, I drank to my heart's content, soothing my tense nerves and allowing me to step onto the battlefield in a completely relaxed state...
It is definitely a better choice!
In a short period of time, unless one is already close to breaking through a barrier, it is difficult to make progress even with arduous training.
"I hope to see them again after this battle," Meng Tianzheng said softly, his voice filled with sorrow.
He understood perfectly well that this was just a hope, impossible to realize, and that many cultivators would die in the war.
While he was supposedly comforting Cao Ya, Meng Tianzheng was actually suffering even more inside.
He is the Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Academy. Many people he sees are not necessarily students of the Heavenly God Academy, but he has guided them and watched them rise to prominence, but he also has to watch them enter the brutal battlefield!
Cao Ya doesn't have that many acquaintances, so his personal experience is somewhat weaker.
He gazed at the abyss beyond the Imperial Pass, shaped like a funnel, piercing into the depths of the starry sea, filled with black and white divine mist that could block everything and annihilate all.
"As long as Tianyuan exists, there is still hope." Cao Ya said, his eyes narrowing and his expression changing slightly.
"Boom..."
At that very moment, outside the Heavenly Abyss, in that desolate borderland belonging to another realm, various divine lights rose up, illuminating the sky, piercing into the outer realm, and intimidating all directions!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!" Streams of light flashed, and figures appeared, each possessing extraordinary ferocity, dominating the world!
A large number of supreme beings descended upon the foreign camp, numbering forty or fifty.
At the same time, twelve figures, imbued with the glow of immortality, emanated an aura more enduring than the sun and moon, their immortality shaking heaven and earth.
With the Immortal King in charge, the Immortals and Supremes who had been ordered to come from other realms to provide support only showed a fierce aura at first, but quickly restrained themselves so as not to offend the Immortal King.
Inside the foreign camp, hundreds of millions of cultivators looked on with awe, respect, and longing.
Meanwhile, at the Imperial Pass, everyone's pupils constricted, a chill ran down their spines, and their hearts sank, a feeling bordering on despair.
"Twelve immortals! Plus forty or fifty newly arrived supreme beings..."
The cultivators were demoralized. Their side only had two True Immortals, and although the number of Supreme Beings was not small, it was still no match for the foreign realm.
Moreover, the foreign camp already had a group of supreme beings who survived the World Dao Ancestor's attack; they weren't all wiped out.
"I expected this all along, so what's there to despair about? No matter how strong the enemy is, killing one is enough, killing two is a bonus! Haha, my goal is to kill a dozen or so foreign cultivators of the same level, make a fortune, and even if I die, I'll have no regrets!"
Suddenly, a cultivator spoke up, laughing loudly without any fear, which startled everyone.
Instantly, the oppressive atmosphere vanished.
"The Twelve Immortals...that's a challenge." Cao Ya's gaze sharpened. Among those immortals was a descendant of the Immortal King!
"If we kill them all, won't the alien realm feel heartbroken?" Meng Tianzheng pondered.
“Just a group of immortals… Only their own race will be heartbroken; other races might even be secretly celebrating. With a new immortal king…” Cao Ya said, shaking his head.
Meng Tianzheng also sighed.
How difficult it is to kill an immortal king!
Even if they were celestial kings, they might not be able to kill them, let alone just true immortals.
A few days after that day, the alien camp began to stir, an army set out to cross the abyss and attack the Imperial Pass!
The Supreme Being soared forth, his aura overwhelming, challenging the heroes of the Imperial Pass.
The twelve immortals dared not approach the Heavenly Abyss, but stood at a distance, gazing at the Imperial Pass.
"Cao Ya, Meng Tianzheng, do you dare to fight?!"
