"If we had arrived any later, who knows..." Cao Ya hesitated, then shook his head. How difficult was it to kill a Celestial King?
Although Yu Tuo is not a strong immortal king, he is not weak either, and he is not so easy to kill.
The Primal Emperor said, "If the power of the Heavenly Abyss remains unchanged after the Immortal Kings arrive, our secrets may be exposed. Rather than taking risks, it would be better to reclaim it."
"In this way, the Immortal King is bound hand and foot, and dares not cross the line."
"Yes, they're here!"
The king looked up and gazed into the distance. His figure moved at lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, the stars shifted and the world changed. He arrived at the Primordial Imperial Pass, made a hand seal, activated the ancient immortal array, and entered it.
The power of the Heavenly Abyss flowed back with tremendous force, even more so than when the Immortal King unleashed his ultimate move. Although it was unlikely to affect him, Cao Ya was still very wary. He was also quite interested in the Primordial Imperial Pass, so he followed this king along with him.
Cao Ya looked around and saw the desolation of the Primordial Imperial Pass. The ground outside the city was littered with countless skeletons, some dead for millions of years, yet still lifelike, making one wonder if life still existed there.
In some places, bonfires burn, and the firewood is made up of various skeletons, including a lot of flesh and blood, most of which are imbued with immortal glory and will never perish.
"Buzz..." Runes rose up, blocking the firelight from spilling out and preventing it from affecting the outside world.
"The remains of the immortals are being burned with immortal fire and then imprisoned by immortal runes, which provide them with energy!" Cao Ya murmured, then looked up and saw that there were not many living beings in the Primordial Imperial Pass. Most of them were crippled and weak old people and children who had not yet grown up.
"The Primal Imperial Pass is now only inhabited by the old, young, sick, and disabled." The king's face was bitter. He had failed these people, unable to protect them, which led to heavy casualties and brought the entire Primal Imperial Pass to the brink of destruction.
"The real culprit is... the Otherworld!" Cao Ya said, each word deliberate and laced with murderous intent. One day, the Otherworld would pay back all the suffering it had brought to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
Those executioners with blood on their hands must be killed, their blood debts must be repaid!
Inside the Primordial Imperial Pass, the old and the young all gazed at Cao Ya with curiosity but little wariness.
The fact that the king brought him in together shows that Cao Ya is trustworthy and there is no need to question him.
During this time, I have learned about Cao Ya's situation. I know that he is a powerful figure from his hometown, a true immortal who, in an impossible era, attained the immortal path, pioneered new methods, and possessed astonishing talent!
They also felt envy. If they possessed such talent and comprehension, they could probably become immortals, attack immortal beings in other realms, become kings, and alleviate their pressure.
Just then, an old man with one arm flew up to the city wall, bowed respectfully, greeted Cao Ya, then glanced at the new Imperial Pass with a worried expression, and said, "Meng Tian is on his way to immortality, what if..."
The king shook his head and said, "No one can help him achieve immortality; he has to rely on himself!"
Cao Ya laughed and said, "Don't worry, old man. The foundation of the Grand Elder is extremely solid. If he can't become an immortal, it can be basically said that there are very few supreme beings in the entire Boundary Sea who are qualified."
"In fact, if the world were different, the Grand Elder could have broken through long ago, but an ominous presence..."
At this point, Cao Ya paused, somewhat hesitant. Although Meng Tianzheng relied on the foundation of the Creation Law, the Niwan Palace world, to ascend to immortality, it was becoming increasingly perfect.
Whether something ominous might appear, taking Meng Tianzheng away and plunging him into darkness, Cao Ya wasn't entirely sure.
He is not a true immortal who created the world, but only a supreme being. He has accumulated various extraordinary powers, and his combat strength has soared, making him comparable to a top-tier true immortal!
"The darkness hasn't appeared yet, and there's no ominous smell, so... everything should be fine, right?"
Cao Ya muttered to himself, because of the barrier of the Heavenly Abyss, those immortal kings could not cross the boundary.
Furthermore, there were only three immortals from the alien realm who appeared here, and they have all died at Cao Ya's hands. There will definitely be reinforcements, but immortals won't appear immediately.
In the eyes of the Immortal King, one more True Immortal meant little; without Tianyuan, they could annihilate them with a flick of their fingers!
Their targets are either the original imperial king or the Heavenly Abyss.
Besides, if they really have an intention to target Meng Tianzheng, they must first shatter Tianyuan.
Many of the supreme beings in the foreign camp died under Cao Ya's attack, numbering as many as twenty or thirty. Most of the remaining ones were also injured. If they were to launch a rash attack, they would indeed be able to unleash their full power without being affected by Tianyuan. However, due to their own injuries and reduced strength, they would basically be unable to defeat the heroes of Diguan. Under a siege, they would be completely annihilated!
Therefore, Cao Ya was not worried about Meng Tianzheng's breakthrough or external interference; his only concern was the ominous sign.
Currently, the uniqueness of the Creation Law remains strong, undetected by the darkness, which is unable to erode it.
"Thank goodness!" Cao Ya's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was slightly relieved.
"Ah..." Suddenly, the void expanded, and an angry roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
Yu Tuo himself appeared quickly, but his hair was disheveled, he had lost the majesty of the Immortal King, his palms were bleeding, his body had bloody holes, and he looked extremely miserable.
“You…you deserve to die!” Yu Tuo gazed at the Primordial Imperial Pass, his expression grim.
The cultivators from another realm were deeply shaken. The severe injury to the Immortal King Yu Tuo was something that had never happened before in this era. If the news were to be sent back, it would be enough to alarm the entire world!
The powerful figures of the Imperial Pass were not very happy either. They were vigilant and on high alert, worried that Yu Tuoqiang would come to kill them and fearing that the collapse of Tianyuan would prevent them from stopping the Immortal King.
Moreover, other immortal kings are on their way, and their supreme divine power, which permeates the universe and shakes the starry sky, can be fully sensed!
That will be the true crisis at Imperial Pass. With the Immortal Kings joining forces, can Tianyuan, no matter how mysterious and unpredictable, truly withstand them?
Cao Ya was not pleased either; he was deeply regretful that he hadn't been able to kill Yu Tuo. But considering his own cultivation level, he gave a bitter smile.
"They're coming!" the king exclaimed, as if facing a formidable enemy, for the one appearing on the other side was no longer an immortal king.
Cao Ya, wielding the Heavenly Desolation Halberd, stood atop the city wall of the Primitive Imperial Pass, gazing towards the edge of the desolate frontier.
Two figures flashed by in an instant, not heading to the main camp to observe the Heavenly Abyss, but instead charging straight towards the Primordial Imperial Pass!
"Haha, my two fellow Daoists have arrived too! You old bastard and you little beast, you two are doomed!" Yu Tuo laughed loudly, and also used his escape technique to land outside the Primordial Imperial Pass together with the two figures of light.
This place, hidden in the remote wilderness, is unseen by cultivators from other realms and the new imperial pass. Only Meng Tianzheng, who has one foot in the True Immortal realm, can perceive it.
But he couldn't get involved. His immediate priority was to attain the immortal fruit and completely transcend the realm of humanity.
"Hopefully, that king, and the World Dao Ancestor, will be safe and sound, and defeat the Immortal King." (Sound of a character)
People whispered, filled with hope, and prayed silently.
The cultivators from other realms, on the contrary, hoped that the Immortal Kings would break through the legendary Primordial Imperial Pass, kill the Kings and the World Dao Ancestor, and wash away the previous shame!
However, regardless of their feelings, all they could do was wait; they couldn't even watch.
"Boom..."
Outside the Primordial Imperial Pass and beyond Yu Tuo, two more figures descended, their auras powerful and intense.
One of them, holding a golden spear, had a cold expression and arrogant eyes, looking down at the Primordial Imperial Pass.
Cao Ya thought to himself, "This person is definitely An Lan!"
The other person was equally fierce, with long, azure hair and eyes like two broadswords, staring intently at the King and Cao Ya on the city wall, his killing intent palpable.
He held a golden trident, its entire body radiating unparalleled brilliance, covering the heavens!
"Boom!!" At this moment, the three immortal kings gathered outside the Primordial Emperor Pass, weapons in hand, their immortal kingly aura surging forth, revealing boundless divine light that could crush countless ages.
“Three Celestial Kings…” The one-armed old man’s heart sank. Such a lineup posed a great threat to the Primordial Imperial Pass.
Cao Ya gripped the Heavenly Desolate Halberd tightly. A shrunken phantom of the Niwan Palace World appeared behind his head. The infinite profound mysteries of the Great Dao flowed and spread outwards. With the blessing of the Heavenly Desolate Halberd, he contended with the Immortal King!
"You little beast, a mere True Immortal, how dare you be so insolent before us?" An Lan cursed, pointing his spear forward with a sharp aura, thrusting straight at us.
"Buzz..." The Primordial Imperial Gate trembled, various immortal runes flew about, combining to form unique patterns, activating the ancient array. Immortal light permeated the area, capable of contending with an Immortal King.
An Lan frowned. At its peak, the Primordial Imperial Pass was home to several Immortal Kings. The formations and imprints they left behind were extremely mysterious and could block the advance of an Immortal King.
"Only one person remains. It won't be long before this pass is breached!" the blue-haired giant said disdainfully.
If it weren't for the influence of Tianyuan, the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would have been ravaged by the foreign lands long ago.
In the eyes of the blue-haired giant, only the king was worthy of attention. Although Cao Ya was strong, he still looked down on him and didn't bother to give him a second glance.
Knowing that Yu Tuo was skilled in martial arts but had been injured by Cao Ya, the blue-haired giant felt a sense of mockery. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have been determined to laugh at him.
"Whoosh... The Immortal King is indeed incredibly powerful!"
As the auras of the King clashed with those of the three Immortal Kings, the Primordial Imperial Pass stirred with unusual activity. Cao Ya, caught in the crossfire, felt as if he were on a turbulent sea, a small boat on the verge of capsizing.
"You're all alone now, you can't protect them for long," An Lan sneered. With a king in charge, all the arrangements at the Primal Imperial Pass could be used perfectly to block multiple immortal kings.
However, once the king falls, even if Cao Ya takes over, he will not be able to display such divine power and will no longer be able to stop the footsteps of the immortal king. They will all be crushed into dust!
The king calmly said, "As long as I live, no matter how arrogant your ambitions may be, you will never set foot in the heavens and the earth! After I am gone, there will be successors, and your goals will never be achieved..."
After speaking, he twitched the corner of his mouth as if he were smiling, and said, "In my final battle, I must drag the Immortal King down with me, so that we may die together. Which of you... is willing?"
Whether it was An Lan, Yu Tuo, or the blue-haired giant, their faces darkened, and their eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Trying to threaten us?" An Lan sneered. "At your peak, that might have been true, but now... look at the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, they're all just cats and dogs. Without Tianyuan, any one of us kings could easily flatten the Nine Heavens and destroy the Ten Earths!"
The blue-haired giant, wielding a golden trident, pointed it at the king and roared, "If you have the guts, come out and fight!"
The king sneered, "An Lan and Yu Tuo aren't here. Do you dare to be so arrogant in front of me alone? In a one-on-one battle, I will definitely kill you!"
The blue-haired giant was furious, his eyes bulging like copper bells. Behind him, an ancient beast appeared, its eyes cruel, staring at the Primordial Imperial Pass, almost unable to resist pouncing.
However, he did not give a direct answer to the King, because in a one-on-one competition, he really was no match for the King!
He was able to control the Primal Imperial Pass Divine Array on his own, fight against the Immortal King of another realm, and protect the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths from destruction. His combat power was among the best in the Immortal King realm!
Tianyuan is indeed a key element, but the borderlands are so vast that it's impossible to cover everything.
"Words are useless," Yu Tuo said coldly, having readjusted himself, his disheveled appearance gone, and his arrogant demeanor restored.
"Clang!" Cao Ya flicked the surface of Tianhuang's halberd, the very spot where he had previously severed the scales from Yu Tuo's giant hand. Though he spoke no words, his meaning was crystal clear.
Yu Tuo's face was ashen, his eyes almost spitting fire as he stared at Cao Ya and slowly said, "Never before has a true immortal mocked me like this... Cao Ya, you are the first. I will skin you alive, torture you for billions of years, and I will not allow you to die!"
"I will make you watch with your own eyes how I torture your family and friends, making them wish they were dead!"
At this moment, Yu Tuo's murderous intent towards Cao Ya surpassed everything else; even the king had to take a back seat.
Cao Ya grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth, and said, "My vision is broader than yours. I will cleanse the entire alien realm. Those who commit murder will all die!"
"A mere beast, yet he knows how to boast." An Lan said disdainfully.
“Old dog, just wait, one day I will kill you with my own hands! Tear you to pieces!” Cao Ya said.
"You won't live to see that day!" An Lan said coldly, but in reality, he was quite wary of Cao Ya.
This young man's talent is undeniable; he can independently forge his own path to immortality. He has the potential to become an Immortal King! It's not impossible that he will become a giant in the future!
If given the chance, An Lan would not only kill that king, but also end Cao Ya's life with a single shot, lest he break through to the Immortal King realm and, if he were to truly grow stronger, invade other realms and wreak havoc on the world.
"Boom..."
At this moment, the king drew upon the power of the Heavenly Abyss, causing a torrent of laws to surge forth, terrifying beyond measure, seemingly capable of shattering the borderlands and engulfing the universe.
An Lan, Yu Tuo, and the blue-haired giant were wary, for Tian Yuan's power, having been fully restored, possessed the ability to suppress and kill a Celestial King!
Moreover, there is another powerful king eyeing the area, and the magic arrays, runes, and imprints left by the past kings of the Primordial Imperial Pass are no ordinary objects and pose a certain threat.
"Unfortunately, the Immortal Kings of our realm are either in seclusion, exploring the Boundary Sea, or guarding the world to prevent accidents or any Boundary Sea Immortal Kings from intruding and plundering resources! For now, only the three of us can come to the borderlands," the blue-haired giant transmitted, sighing.
“No rush! In a while, some fellow Daoists will find the time to descend upon the borderlands,” An Lan whispered.
"Fellow Daoist who is monitoring..." Yu Tuo was somewhat unwilling.
There are clearly several immortal kings who have neither gone into seclusion nor traveled far, and can be mobilized!
However, An Lan and the blue-haired giant glared at Yu Tuo, their gaze carrying a warning tone.
Cao Ya found it strange; what were these three Immortal Kings doing?!
