Within the City of All Heavens
Yang An also sensed the commotion in the City of Heavens. His gaze pierced through eternity as he looked into the distance, his expression indifferent.
Has the Dark Lands begun their invasion?
"It seems the Dark Immortal Emperor intervened; otherwise, breaching the Heavenly Abyss without warning wouldn't have been so simple."
Yang An shook his head and stopped thinking about it. As long as the creatures of the Dark Land didn't provoke him, he wouldn't go after them, nor would he completely side with either side.
After all... the origins of the Dark Lands are not as simple as they seem!
......
Tianguan
boom
Brilliant beams of divine light illuminated the sky, emerging from the Imperial City and landing on the Heavenly Gate. Each of them exuded an overwhelming aura, incredibly powerful, and any one of them was comparable to the patriarchs of great sects or the strongest Immortal Kings in the outside world!
However, compared to the overwhelming and endless dark tide, it seems extremely small.
However, this was enough to excite and thrill the many soldiers of Tianguan.
"They are the Thirty-Six Kings of the Border, each of whom is an unparalleled power in my Immortal Realm. With them here, even if those dark creatures want to invade my Immortal Realm, it won't be so easy!"
"As long as we hold out until my celestial army arrives, we will make these dark bastards know why flowers are so red!"
"Heh, does the Dark Land think my Immortal Realm is powerless? My spear is practically rusting. Today I'm going to give these Dark bastards a good thrashing in the ass and avenge my grudge from the Ancient Immortal Era!"
"The remains of the creatures that die in the Dark Lands have countless uses and are invaluable treasures. This time, I must kill as many of these Dark Creatures as possible!"
Within the Heavenly Gate, there were thirty-six densely packed formations, each containing hundreds of millions of soldiers. Although only a handful had reached the True Immortal Realm or higher, the ancient formations formed by these billions of soldiers could even restrain Immortal Kings.
Compared to the excitement of others, the situation was far from optimistic for the thirty-six kings of the border standing atop the Heavenly Gate.
The leader of the thirty-six was a masked man dressed in purple with an extraordinary bearing. Immortal light gathered around him, with billions of immortal rays flowing around him, seemingly enough to tear the sky apart and annihilate billions of stars with a wave of his hand.
He is the leader of the Thirty-Six Kings of the Border, King Tiankui, a supreme powerhouse at the level of a Celestial King, with a fearsome reputation. Few people in the Celestial Realm know his specific name anymore. Since the Ancient Celestial Era, he has been stationed at the Celestial Pass, forming the Thirty-Six Kings of the Celestial Pass, and has never left the Celestial Pass.
"Boss, Tianyuan has truly been breached. Even the Nine Heavens Demon-Subduing Formation hasn't made a sound. The scale of this Dark Calamity is probably not much less than the calamity of the Immortal Ancient Era."
The Heavenly Mystery King, one of the Thirty-Six Kings, shook the feather fan in his hand. A solemn expression appeared on his handsome face. He wanted to glimpse fate, but found that fate was now nothingness, which was not a good omen.
He boasted that he was unparalleled in destiny and was known as the Heavenly Strategist. His divination skills were unmatched throughout the entire Immortal Realm!
But now he finds that his proud Heavenly Secrets and Fate Techniques are useless at this moment.
"That old bastard Shi Yu is really unreliable. Doesn't he know the rules of Tianguan? Why did he have to leave Tianguan at this time!"
Tianyong King was a tall and mighty man. He seemed a little angry. As the garrison commander of Tianguan, Shiyu Immortal King had actually left Tianguan without permission. If it weren't for the approaching enemy, he probably would have dragged his forty-meter-long sword and demanded an explanation from Shiyu Immortal King!
"The departure of Immortal King Shiyu must be related to the fall of an Immortal King in the Immortal Realm. There must be some turmoil within the Immortal Realm. Now, Immortal King Shiyu has sent word that they are heading towards the Heavenly Gate."
A figure holding a whisk, dressed in a Taoist robe, surrounded by many strange phenomena, slowly spoke. He was Tianxian King, the fourth among the Thirty-Six Kings.
"Ha, whatever the purpose, leaving Tianguan is wrong!"
Tianyong King snorted coldly.
"That's enough. We should be thinking about how to defend the Desolate Pass. This time, the dark creatures are coming in strong, and it won't be easy to defend it."
"It will take at least another month before those guys from the Immortal Realm arrive. During this month, we can only rely on ourselves!"
King Tiangang shouted angrily, interrupting the conversation between King Tianyong and King Tianxian.
King Tiangang is second only to King Tiankui among the Thirty-Six Kings. He is also a top-level Immortal King. He is dressed in white and has an extraordinary face. He looks like an ancient and invincible being. The anger contained in his tone alone is enough to cause changes in the celestial phenomena, with wind and lightning.
"Second Brother is right. Even with reinforcements from the Immortal Realm, it would take them at least a month to reach the border of Heavenly Pass, let alone the Desolate Pass."
"During this period, we can only rely on ourselves. As long as we can secure reinforcements from the Immortal Realm and the Thirty-Six Realms, that will be victory."
Tianji Wang's eyes were deep, and he spoke in a calm tone.
Upon hearing this, the other thirty-six kings all wore strange expressions, their thoughts unknown.
"The first pass, the desolate pass, must not be lost!"
"Even if I die, I will die before the desolate pass; even if I die, I will hold out for a month until the powerful beings from the Immortal Realm arrive."
King Tiankui looked at the many immortal kings behind him, his eyes gleaming, and spoke with a firm tone.
His voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the desolate pass and resonating in everyone's ears.
"Gentlemen, this time the dark creatures have come with overwhelming force, intending to invade our Immortal Realm. This time, we will become a protective shield. Behind us are all the beings of the Immortal Realm. Once the Desolate Pass is breached, the other eight passes, including the Abyss Pass, Shanhaiguan Pass, Sky Pass, and Watchtower Pass, will not be able to hold out for long."
"In the Immortal Realm, there are your descendants, your relatives and friends, your Daoist partners, and your homes. All of these will be completely exposed to the dark creatures, mercilessly slaughtered. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will only become slaves, living a life worse than death."
"I do not know your past identities or what your history is, but at this moment, you will all be the guardian swords of my Desolate Pass. What you need to do is to fight with all your might and plunge your weapons into the chests of the enemy, and enjoy the slaughter to the fullest, enjoy this grand feast of carnage. Even if you die in battle, as long as one of the thirty-six kings of the border survives, I will personally erect a monument for you, for all eternity!"
"This time, we have no choice but to move forward; there is no turning back, no retreat to those who have defected."
"cut!"
As the last cry of the Heavenly King fell, the space behind the Desolate Pass seemed to be severed by some being, filled with an aura of extreme destruction.
Tiankui King's gaze was filled with determination.
