The End Saint King was worried about Fang Han, as there were too many murderous intentions directed at him here.
The Primordial Saint King is only one of them! The other Immortal Kings must also have some terrifying backup plans.
However, trapped here, even with the methods of the Primordial Holy King, the Holy King could be eliminated, and no news could get out.
He had no idea what had caused the unusual behavior of the Primordial Saint King just now!
It can only be speculated that perhaps the signs of the impending catastrophe are becoming more and more obvious, causing some kind of change in this Immortal King battlefield.
After the Great Devastation of the Third Millennium, can this place truly continue to exist?
"My most urgent task is to comprehend the divine weapon of creation, the Great Axe, and elevate my realm."
"Fourteen epochs is far from enough! If I had the strength of seventeen or eighteen epochs, the true form of the Primordial Saint King would not be able to stop me with just three puppet-like skeletons!"
The End Saint King certainly understood how difficult it would be to break through to the Heavenly Monarch Realm through pure personal cultivation, but he had no other choice at the moment.
The only saving grace was that he possessed a divine artifact of creation, so if the Primordial Saint King wanted to kill him, he wasn't entirely powerless to retaliate.
However, the Primordial Saint King had no intention of eliminating the Final Saint King prematurely.
If this "bait" is lost, subsequent actions are likely to go wrong.
In fact, the Primordial Saint King did not believe at all that ending the Saint King realm could lead to the King realm!
His target has always been Fang Han, the Celestial Monarch of the Epoch! The reincarnation of the spirit of the Gate of Immortality is of paramount importance, as it relates to eternal transcendence, while killing this Ending Saint King would not be of much significance.
He knew very well that within the Immortal King's Great Realm, there were only formidable and ruthless characters, none of whom could defeat him!
Many of them could even surpass the Primordial Saint King! Leaving aside the Creation Immortal King and the Primordial Demon Lord, even figures like the Hongmeng Daoist and the Mythical Elder would be difficult for the Primordial Saint King to defeat in a direct confrontation.
When it comes to immortality and dealing with artifact spirits, most Immortal Kings do share a common attitude.
If this really helped Hua Tiandu defeat Fang Han and cause his immortal destiny to fall, none of the kings would be able to sit still!
In order to compete for that sliver of eternal life, the Primordial Holy King had to find ways to gain the upper hand.
He believed that not only he was scheming, but none of the other Celestial Kings were idle either.
Just like the aura we sensed earlier, wasn't it emanating from the Primordial Demon Lord?!
"The realm of supreme destruction has already ended, so I must be even more cautious and must not slacken my efforts."
The Primordial Saint King thought to himself, "Even if the Primordial Demon Lord only left behind his spirit, he could still defeat me completely."
The Creation Immortal King was in perfect condition, without the slightest flaw, and was probably even more terrifying than the once strongest Primordial Demon Lord.
Moreover, the Primordial Saint King knew that the Celestial Emperor of the Epoch possessed a replica of the Thirty-Three Heavens' Treasure.
Without a doubt, no one can compare to the Creation Immortal King when it comes to scheming against the Celestial Lords of the Epoch.
None of the kings within the Gate of Immortality could remain unmoved or fail to perceive such immense pressure.
Otherwise, given the Primordial Demon Lord's nature of believing in the power of force, why would he have met such an early end?
The three kings who sided with the Celestial Emperor of the Epoch were even more wary.
"That Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord is quite capable, being able to escape from the encirclement of the Primordial Demon Lord."
The Primordial Saint King was also quite surprised. How did the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord escape with such a lineup?
At least in his view, in the current universe, apart from the Nian Beast, other Heavenly Lords, even the Lord of Heaven and Earth and the Barbarian Ancestor, can't escape!
"A variable! Is it a foreshadowing of the Gate of Immortality, or is it truly a rise due to the ancient Immortal Kings?" The Ancestral Saint King's heart was filled with confusion.
It should be noted that after learning of the departure of the artifact spirit and the reincarnation of the malignant tumor, the Immortal Kings couldn't wait and rushed into the Gate of Immortality, intending to refine this unclaimed portal and transcend it in one leap. However, they were all tricked by the artifact spirit and trapped here. For a long time, they couldn't even send out a trace of consciousness.
But the Celestial Kings aren't stupid; no matter how much they yearn for immortality, they won't leave themselves without any backup plans.
They all used the supreme Dao merit to calculate that at the end of time, the Epoch Heavenly Lord, the Lightning Mother Heavenly Lord, the End Saint King, Shakyamuni Buddha, as well as Hua Tiandu, the Year Beast, and the Lord of Heaven and Earth, would also play a very crucial role.
Therefore, all the kings' plans started with the relevant characters, without exception.
But as time went by, things really developed to this point, and a Vermilion Bird has emerged...
Even the Immortal King of Creation did not expect this person's sudden rise to prominence!
Although in reality, it is impossible to know every single detail.
However, the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord's performance was too fierce, and he was very likely to become a king!
Such figures are destined to be recorded in history and shine brightly throughout countless eras!
None of the kings had foreseen this... It would be strange if they weren't suspicious!
"Fang Han, Hua Tiandu, and the reincarnations of the Heavenly Lord of Lightning and the Immortal King of Love and Righteousness... So far, the Heavenly Lord of Vermilion Bird has actually suppressed these special characters, and the original Heavenly Lords have generally fallen behind the Vermilion Bird..."
The Primordial Saint King was extremely puzzled: from whom did the so-called Ancient King's Way of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord originate?
Reincarnation, swordsmanship, Buddhism, and fist techniques are all seemingly similar but actually different. The Primordial Saint King searched through his memories and found similar ancient kings, but upon careful analysis, they were found to be different.
If it were a Celestial King from one or two thousand eras ago, what would he have left in this world?
There is only one explanation: the gate to immortality has been intentionally preserved and hidden!
"No wonder, the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord stood on one side of the Gate of Epochs." The Primordial Saint King believed that he had seen through some secrets, and was secretly surprised and also became more vigilant.
The secret behind the Gate of Immortality remained completely undiscovered until it was revealed!
He had no greed for any ancient king's methods. After all, he was not a Heavenly Lord, but a Celestial King, having reached the pinnacle of cultivation. The subsequent secret realm of immortality would be difficult to achieve no matter how many ancient king's methods he learned. He had to start from the gate of immortality!
Therefore, after realizing the situation, the ancestral sage king changed his mind and decided to give up going there.
It involves the Primordial Demon Lord, and it's not Fang Han, plus the Ending Saint King; we can't let it go...
"Hmm?" Suddenly, the eyes of the Primordial Saint King flashed, and his true form in the Gate of Immortality received a message.
That Gate of Immortality is eternal and indestructible, containing endless divine objects. During each generation and destruction of a chaotic era, it spews out countless divine objects, benefiting all living beings. Furthermore, divine eggs will give birth to extraordinary beings.
Although it is called a door, in reality, inside the Gate of Immortality, various planes are layered upon each other, intricate and beyond description. No matter how powerful the Celestial King is, he is imprisoned in a certain place by the solidified energy of immortality, combined with the indestructible laws and rules.
Originally, they found it extremely difficult to move.
Things are better now, but to a certain extent, they still defy the rules of the Gate of Immortality.
However, the prospect of escaping their predicament remains elusive, and the magical power that can spread through the gate is extremely weak.
Of course, the Celestial Kings still know each other's coordinates and can communicate with each other.
Most of the time, it's simply unnecessary.
"We can't wait any longer! Unleash the disaster ahead of schedule and annihilate the Epoch Gate!"
Suddenly, the powerful spiritual thoughts of the Primordial Demon Lord resounded across multiple planes.
Even the Gate of Immortality trembled in response to suppress the actions of the Primordial Demon Lord.
The Primordial Saint King was shocked; the power of the Primordial Demon Lord was indeed abnormally strong!
"The Epoch Gate has become a force to be reckoned with. Its leader, the Epoch Heavenly Lord at the core of the Great Calamity, is now a Heavenly Lord of the thirteenth or fourteenth epoch. His fortune is fully unleashed and it is time to bring it to a close."
The Origin Immortal King was responding to the Primordial Demon Lord, but not in a particularly arrogant manner, and it didn't elicit a noticeable reaction from the Gate of Immortality. —His strength, after all, was inferior to that of the Primordial Demon Lord.
"If the Epochal Emperor were to become a Celestial King, it would be very difficult to reap the rewards given the current state of affairs."
The Immortal King of Truth also expressed his agreement.
"Indeed, we can't just skim the surface anymore. If we're going to take action, we have to be ruthless!"
"We absolutely cannot give Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord and Lightning Mother Heavenly Lord any chance of survival! Even if Epoch Heavenly Lord doesn't die, he must be severely injured and forced to flee to the Immortal King Battlefield... Hmm, we can spare his life and deal with him after we get out. We also can't let Hua Tiandu become too powerful."
The ancestral holy king spoke with ruthlessness and cruelty.
"That Hua Tiandu is a petty scoundrel with no real ability. Compared to the Celestial Lord of the Epoch, he's far inferior. Does such trash even deserve to be a cancer on the Gate of Immortality?!" True Spirit Immortal King scoffed.
"Kill everyone from the Epoch Sect! Especially the Vermilion Bird and the Lightning Mother, who are on the verge of becoming Immortal Kings! Leaving only the Epoch Heavenly Monarch is insignificant. With the Epoch Sect wiped out, his fate will plummet. As long as he isn't devoured by Hua Tiandu, that cancerous tumor won't be able to completely overtake the artifact spirit. The mutual attrition of fate will provide us with a golden opportunity," the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts said grimly.
The group of kings planned that once the artifact spirit reached the Heavenly Monarch Realm and its fortune began to erupt on a large scale, it would help to defeat the malignant tumor, or at least hold it off, so that the fates of the two would consume each other.
However, it is crucial to strike a balance. It is acceptable for these two to determine a victor, but it is best to avoid any casualties. Otherwise, if one of them achieves a complete victory, doubling their lifespan and becoming king is just around the corner, and the others are unable to escape, how can they interfere with their willpower? They might even be sealed at the gate of immortality!
If the winner manages to refine the Gate of Immortality, their fate is predictable.
Their plan was to keep the spirit and the malignant tumor stuck at the threshold between Heavenly Monarch and Immortal King, at most reaching the initial King realm. In this way, even if they escaped, they were still confident they could clean up the mess and seize their destiny. Even if the struggle between those two depleted some of their luck, it wouldn't be a big deal; it would still help the Immortal King advance to the Eternal Life Realm!
However, the current situation is really beyond expectations. If the Celestial Monarch of the Epoch really breaks through the realm, unexpected changes are very likely to occur!
Hua Tiandu, a malignant tumor, is finding it increasingly difficult to contend with the Celestial Emperor of the Era. He has suffered repeated defeats, and his fate is far weaker than that of the artifact spirit.
The appearance of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord, in particular, made all the kings sense an ominous atmosphere.
"Since everyone agrees, let's intensify our efforts. Heavenly Monarchs, go and deal with the Epoch Gate." The Creation Immortal King made the final decision.
Immediately afterwards, the kings began to select different celestial rulers and transmit their power remotely.
Of course, those like the Creation Immortal King, the Origin Immortal King, the Truth Immortal King, the Mythical Elder, the Primordial Saint King, and the Primordial Demon Lord all have unbroken lineages of Daoist traditions, and many of them are Heavenly Lords, so the range of choices is naturally wide.
The Immortal King of Righteousness, the Immortal King of True Spirit, the Immortal King of No History, the Immortal King of Eternity, and the Immortal King of Dimensions had no choice but to look to the other Heavenly Lords.
Fortunately, the Upper Realm is vast enough, with countless Heavenly Lords. There are bound to be suitable ones, who may not necessarily be powerful, but at least they can be connected to their path of cultivation.
In any case, with the intervention of the Celestial King, what is there to fear regarding power?
Thus, in the realm above the realm, a storm arose, and many Heavenly Lords, in a frenzy, began to enter the battlefield of Immortal Kings.
Just as the kings were reaching their conclusion, the Hongmeng Daoist, the Worldly Free King Buddha, and the Primordial Ancestral Dragon were not entirely unaware of what was happening.
They discussed and decided to contact their children, disciples, and successors.
"Where is the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord?" The Primordial Ancestral Dragon hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to ask.
Hongmeng Daoist pondered, "No need! Zhuque Tianjun aspires to be a Celestial King. Why would he need us to transfer his magic power? His own abilities are enough to stir up the winds and clouds in the midst of the changing times."
The Buddha of the Worldly Freedom added, "Era God and Goddess of Lightning also don't need them."
"These three individuals all have a considerable probability of becoming Immortal Kings, and they are extremely strong themselves. We don't need to bestow empowerment upon them, as it would affect their comprehension of the Great Dao and greatly reduce their chances of attaining enlightenment."
The three of them were quite looking forward to the day when Zhuque, Fang Han, and Fang Qingxue would achieve the King Realm.
After all, the opposing camp already has a total of twelve Celestial Kings!
Not to mention Hua Tiandu and Ying Tianqing, who also have the potential to become Immortal Kings.
To be honest, at the highest level, we are at a disadvantage.
Even the number of experts at the Heavenly Monarch Realm was also at a disadvantage.
The same transmission of power, but the three Immortal Kings were more considerate than the twelve Immortal Kings.
Soon, the Epoch Gate, which had been relocated to the Upper Realm, was also reminded by the Three Kings.
Characters such as Linglong Immortal Venerable and Shakyamuni Buddha Wind White Feather have all seen significant improvements.
The Epoch Gate has decided to enter the Immortal King Battlefield as well, to wage the final war on the eve of the Great Cataclysm!
Victory or defeat, life or death, it all comes down to this!
The entire Immortal King Battlefield was in an extraordinary uproar, with calamity energy pressing down on the eight wastelands.
At the same time, the six people from Taihuangtian also received the Immortal King's message again.
Their magical power was also increasing, and soon they leaped from the fourteenth era to the fifteenth era!
"Phew." They set off, following the Immortal King's guidance, and found the three powerful figures.
The Nian Beast! Lord of All Demons! Ancestor of Barbarians!
Clearly, the other party had also received a notification from the Lord of All Beasts, and therefore, they were not surprised at all by the arrival of Taihuangtian and his group.
"Huh?" Taihuangtian was surprised. Why hadn't the cultivation levels of these three people changed?
But he immediately realized the key point: the Nian Beast and its companions probably still aspired to become Immortal Kings, and therefore did not accept the power of the Lord of All Beasts.
The Celestial Kings are too powerful. Their Great Dao is immortal, and the transmission of that magical power, when received by a Heavenly Monarch, undoubtedly led to an astonishing increase in their cultivation level. However, the consequences were also quite severe. Their own Great Dao was interfered with, making it difficult to become a Celestial King. Truly absorbing and digesting the power and freeing themselves from its influence would not be easy, after all, the Celestial Kings were far stronger than Heavenly Monarchs.
Of course, the Nian Beast was in its seventeenth era, while the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons and the Barbarian Ancestor were in their sixteenth era. They were already very strong and could dominate the world in the upcoming wars.
Even with the combined strength of six people, such as Taihuangtian and his group, who were only fifteen generations old, they could not defeat the Nian Beast and could only fight against the other two.
"Where the people from the Epoch Gate are is still unknown, but the location of the Yellow Springs Great Barrier..."
The Nian beast's dark and cold tunnel.
Within that Great Barrier of the Underworld lies the corpse of the Yellow Springs Emperor, which spans nearly seventeen epochs. Dealing with it would be quite troublesome. In the past, he wouldn't have bothered with such a painstaking effort if there were no benefits to be gained. However, the current situation has changed. He now has many more helpers, and a great battle is imminent. How could he allow the Great Barrier of the Underworld to continue to exist?
