The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 274 A Boundary Has Arrived to Welcome You; You Are Surrounded by Me

The land was shaken, the kings fell silent, and all spirits were rendered speechless.

With one hand, he broke through the boundary and entered another realm, capturing the Sea God King amidst the obstruction of various kings, and suppressing him until he knelt before him!
Looking down on all heroes, capturing the king with one hand, who has ever had such power?

Speechless.

The Sea God King, who attained enlightenment in the Immortal Ancient Era, wielding a golden trident and invincible, was dragged out like a chick with one hand. All the boundary walls, the obstruction of the kings, and the glory of other realms were meaningless. Like a dream bubble, it shattered at the slightest touch, becoming a joke.

One person, one hand, trampled the myth of invincibility!
"The alien land has been ravaged! How could such a figure emerge from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths? Is it someone from the past returning, or a great purge descending?!"

At this moment, living beings in the distant burial grounds also looked out and saw this scene. They were extremely shocked and knew that something terrible had happened.

Even the King of Burial, who had been sleeping for countless ages, was awakened and solemnly observed the place, sensing a great change.

Everything stems from that person.

Amidst the chaos, he remained calm and composed, sitting cross-legged on the Peacock King's back, pressing down on the Sea God King with one hand, causing the once flawless and immortal king to be severely injured, kneeling on the ground, head bowed, unable to move!

The immortal king kneels and prostrates, while the heavenly officials and earthly ministers all bow their heads!

The word "supreme" is just like that.

No words were needed; a simple action was all that was required.

"How can I, the Immortal King, be so humiliated?" The Sea God King was furious. Even though he was seriously injured, he fought back desperately, but to no avail. No matter how much power he exerted, the large hand pressing on his head did not budge. On the contrary, he himself twisted in pain. He could even feel that this supreme king had no intention of killing him.

There was no murderous intent, only a sense of looking down, a sense of...acknowledgment? It was as if he had seen a lost lamb, bewildered and unaware of the way ahead, and he was the shepherd, guiding and driving it.

Gradually, the Sea God King became dazed, feeling that many versions of himself had appeared, layer upon layer, connected to each other, gazing at each other from afar. In the eyes of each version of himself, there was an additional outline, a shepherd who herded foreign lands and drove the king with a whip. That was the law of the king, the self-attachment to reincarnation, and the idea that all things are manifestations of the self!
who am I?
Who am I?
Who killed me, and whom did I kill?

For a moment, the already seriously injured Sea God King felt dizzy again, feeling as if countless versions of himself were arguing and everything was about to fall apart, leaving him at a loss.

"Foolish child, why haven't you awakened yet!" The Peacock King roared, causing his primordial spirit to tremble. The three Immortal Kings around him issued decrees, shouting in unison, "Lost sheep, return to your place!"

The Sea God King felt as if he had been grabbed and instantly refined, all the divisions were unified, and he had only one thought: I am the Sea God King, I am the Lamb, I am the Heavenly King!
All things return to oneness, all phenomena are me; at this moment, he finally attained enlightenment and understood what it means to be myself.

“A decree from beyond the heavens has arrived; only today do I realize who I truly am.”

Finally, the Sea God King, who had been suppressed by the three forces, had a profound enlightenment. Even though his body was broken and he was seriously injured, he looked devout, picked up his trident, and stood behind the three immortal kings, becoming the fourth guardian.

Under the Heavenly King, there are four guardian kings!
"Has the Sea God King gone mad?" "No, he was severely injured and then brainwashed and converted."

“I suspect that person may have come from the Burial Domain, wielding an ancient artifact from there, and thus influencing the Sea God King.”

The kings were shocked. If grabbing an immortal king with one hand and forcing him to kneel before them was a display of power, then this method of conversion was an even more terrifying threat.

Since ancient times, it has always been their immortal kings from other lands who have corrupted others and baptized them with sacred substances to make them evolve; when did someone come along who can enlighten them and brainwash them in reverse?
It is simply contrary to Tiangang!

Who is from another realm? Who is the Holy Evolver?
At this moment, they were truly shaken. All along, they had been the embodiment of darkness in other people's eyes, but today they had encountered someone even darker than themselves.

At this moment, with the four kings leading the way, Wang Hongwu remained seated on the Peacock King, his gaze calmly overlooking the group of immortal kings.

In the eyes of the kings, this look down was both oppressive and intimidating. The fact that the Sea God King had suffered a calamity only made his aura seem even more overwhelming, giving him an air of supreme authority and unparalleled power.
"He doesn't seem like a butcher, and he even seems stronger than the Knife King and Qu Zhong. Could it be that the fake medicine seller has returned from the Boundary Sea?"

Even the people of the Burial Domain were shocked. This mysterious powerhouse was too terrifying, with awe-inspiring divine might. However, they did not mention the chicken farmer, because that person was from the Burial Domain and knew him well.

"Fellow Daoist, what brings you here? To launch a sudden attack on a realm and then turn against an Immortal King is surely not a good idea." At this moment, a giant appeared, stopping the restless Yu Tuo and the others. He held a large, ancient golden seal in his hand, indicating profound cultivation. At the same time, he transmitted his voice, "Take some from the fellow Daoists guarding the boundary wall and awaken those who are asleep. Then, order He Wushuang to awaken Senior Kundi."

There are many immortal kings in the other realms, but the current situation is special. Many have entered the Boundary Sea, some are evolving and guarding the boundary wall, and others are asleep. Only a portion of them are normally awake, but there are no fewer than thirty of them.

"How dare you! How dare you address me as 'fellow Daoist'?" The Peacock King was the first to rebuke him coldly, displaying a high and mighty attitude. Even a powerful figure like the Peacock King was not to be feared, for it was now the face of the Heavenly King and was granted 'royal privilege'!
"Our esteemed ruler is a Heavenly King, above all giants, and has lived through the ages with all the heavens. You, who do not know the difference between rank and status, dare to call yourself a giant? It is truly laughable!" The four guardian kings, including the Sea God King, shouted in unison, which made the kings of the foreign lands twitch with anger.

"Heavenly King? What arrogance! Even the giants of the Boundary Sea have never been so conceited. If you insist on going your own way and dare to set foot in my realm, you will only end up defeated and sunk to the bottom of the sand!" Even that giant's expression turned cold, and his indifferent words seemed to come from the depths of the Netherworld.

"Your realm? You're mistaken, this is my realm."

"In my pasture, you are but lost sheep, yet none of you will call me Father."

Wang Hongwu finally spoke, his words were calm and devoid of emotion. Though they were far apart, his imposing manner and arrogant disdain for a region were palpable, making everyone feel deeply humiliated.

Heavenly Father? Does he really think he's the father of another world? How arrogant!

At this moment, the kings could no longer tolerate it. Without further ado, they all rushed out and attacked.

Yu Tuo's fist shattered time, Wu Wang's blade cleaved chaos, Qing Wang swallowed the universe, Yu Wang destroyed realms with a single palm strike, and that giant even unleashed his great seal, smashing down fiercely, instantly turning the world upside down. These forces transformed into dazzling tangible trajectories and celestial maps, magnificent and vast, every inch of which contained the profound mysteries of the Dao.

"A king cannot be humiliated." Faced with this attack, Wang Hongwu moved, his body filled with boundless energy, as if he had descended from the ancient river of time, standing tall and upright.

Simple and direct, a giant hand, forged from the King's Mother Gold and radiating the light of a King's Weapon, reached down, encircling the illusory world and covering the universe. When it pressed down mercilessly, the world collapsed and the universe exploded. With a direct strike, it shattered those King's Path trajectories and celestial maps.

Even the giant's weapon was struck by his palm, leaving a deep imprint. It was sent flying backward in a sorry state. At the same time, the immortal gold inside was completely absorbed when his palm touched it, causing the quality of the entire king-level weapon to drop. It had been nurtured for eternity, but it was all for the benefit of others.

"You are a Celestial Gold Daoist?" The Golden Seal Giant was shocked and heartbroken. That was an artifact he had refined over countless ages, yet it had ended up in such a miserable state.

What surprised them even more was that after the giant hand broke through the attack, it did not stop, but calmly continued to reach out. The alien boundary and the World Tree under repair did not stop it at all!

How is this going?

The boundary barrier has failed?
Even the few immortal kings stationed at the edge of the alien realm, supporting the boundary with arrays, frowned. This shouldn't be the case. They were operating at full capacity. It must be this realm that has a problem and is accepting things on its own!

It's as if that guy really is the father of the alien world?
"The lamb need not ask questions, but simply follow the shepherd's guidance," the Sea God King declared calmly. The being on the Peacock King's back ruthlessly reached out a giant hand, tearing open the gate to this other realm. With a single stroke of its finger, it created the world, allowing this realm to flow freely.

Even if the Immortal King defied the heavens and charged towards that giant hand, it was all in vain. He disintegrated and exploded the moment he collided with it, turning into a large rain of blood. His primordial spirit fled in a sorry state, filled with shock.

Moreover, the giant hand continued to enlarge relentlessly, becoming terrifyingly vast, instantly covering the heavens and earth, and slamming down on the border of the alien realm.

Thud! The enormous impact was awe-inspiring. All the cultivators, from the highest level to ordinary children, trembled, their souls shaking, as if their bodies and spirits were about to explode.

Then, a terrifying scene unfolded: the giant hand actually pulled the entire alien realm together, causing numerous cosmic clusters within it to tremble and create terrifying ripples and waves that spread outwards.

The sky shakes, the earth trembles, everything shakes!

At this moment, all living beings in the alien realm felt as if the world had been turned upside down, entering into an unprecedented calamity. Visibly, this vast region was being pulled apart by that single hand!

Even the immortal kings could not stop him. That person was terrifying. He sat cross-legged on the back of the Peacock King and only stretched out one hand to fight against the kings. Who could be so arrogant?
Most importantly, his body was incredibly tough, giving everyone the feeling that he was attacking a vast world forged from immortal gold. Not only were there boundary walls and myriad paths blocking him, but there was also the backlash from a giant king's weapon. How could such a thing exist in the world?
Not to mention, the true forms of the Ten Fiends were coiled around that hand, moving about with each other, yet each of them emanated an unparalleled level of power. One person formed an army, and the kings of the foreign lands even had the illusion that they were not the ones besieging the enemy, but rather that they were surrounded by this hand!
No matter how much celestial light erupted, it was difficult to repel the giant hand, and they could only watch helplessly as the alien realm was dragged toward that person.

One hand pulled the barrier, dragging it in front of him.

"When you see the Heavenly Father, you should come to greet him. Why should I step into the boundary? Move it yourself!"

Wang Hongwu said calmly, "How can a Heavenly Father from another realm have to step into another realm to welcome him? He should come and greet him himself!"

In an instant, the alien land appeared before him, arriving at his feet without him needing to take a step.

The Heavenly King Steps into a Foreign Land!
"I never expected that the same person would intrude into my territory twice."

"This mount, this aura, and this power of the Ten Fiends—there's no mistake, it really is him."

"When he first came to my realm, he was merely at the peak level, but now he has become an unparalleled giant? Just who is he?"

"I suspect that the Six Paths, the Endless, and the Ten Fiends who died in battle have returned to make a person who has achieved enlightenment."

The five immortal kings, having deduced the secrets of heaven and gazed upon the approaching figure, finally discerned his identity and origins!
However, fighting on home soil ultimately has its advantages.

In an instant, the alien realm shone brightly, and beams of dazzling light fell upon the five immortal kings—a blessing from the great realm.

But subtly, these beams of light did not only fall on them, but also on Wang Hongwu, thus blessing him as well.

The title of "Father of a Foreign Land" is no exaggeration.

"Something's not right. Our realm blesses us, so why is he also being blessed after entering?"

The immortal kings were truly bewildered; something was wrong!
Coupled with the fact that the boundary wall didn't stop them and the World Tree's roots welcomed them, they immediately had a bad feeling. Could this guy have really done something bad to the World Tree?
What despicable outsiders, blaspheming the mother tree!
“With the Father back in His place, His blessings will surely come.” Wang Hongwu spoke calmly, seemingly unconcerned, yet his tone carried a powerful sense of authority.

"It's futile. No matter how strong you are, how many of you can you possibly defeat? My clan has countless powerful warriors. If you want to fight, then bring some more fellow Daoists!"

The five immortal kings shouted coldly, instantly awakening the other kings, who descended one by one from their respective clans, their eyes cold and sharp. They were all the strongest beings of their time.

Now, with all the kings joining forces, even if there are still some who form an array to create a boundary wall and block the sea of ​​boundaries, it is still a considerable number.

"So it's you, Liudao. Let's continue the battle we hadn't finished before!" At this moment, an immortal king spoke. As he spoke, he had already taken action, wielding a silver hammer that erupted with lightning.

He slammed forward like Thor, striking abruptly with extreme speed; he was indeed a giant.

"What Six Paths? They're long dead. The Immortal Ancient Era was defeated once, so what's wrong with killing them again now!" The five kings shouted in unison and charged over. King Qing was particularly fierce. He opened his mouth and roared, revealing the true form of the Devouring Heaven Emperor Clan. A terrifying beam of light shot out from his beak, shattering the universe and suppressing this world.

King Wu also attacked. He was tall and majestic, like a demon god. The cold beams of light in his eyes turned into curse-like symbols. He held a jet-black longsword, the Immortal-Slaying Blade, which was said to be used to kill primordial spirits. Even Immortal Kings could not escape death if they were stabbed by it.

The kings joined forces in a fierce attack, and two giants also joined forces. In an instant, even heaven and earth froze. The essence of the great world was drained, as if the past and present were severed, making time unstable and intermittent. Fragments of the Great Dao were everywhere, pouring down from the sky like waterfalls and galaxies, hanging down and sealing off the universe.

Wang Hongwu remained unperturbed, still seated atop the Peacock King's back. He combined the Ten Fierce Kings' Laws into a Heavenly Diagram, directly unleashing a devastating punch with his five fingers clenched into a fist. The clash created a desolate wasteland, a death zone, and the alien realm was pierced through, leaving behind a dense abyss of blackness. Various runes of order overflowed, the cosmic clusters lost their light, and the great world trembled. A red-haired whirlwind howled, followed by a rain of blood. Even the aftershocks shattered the chaos, giving rise to entirely new cosmic clusters.

The two sides clashed, plunging into a black and white world of light and shadow, where everything was silent, as if all had stopped.

The world seemed to freeze at that moment.

Ah.

Then a soft laugh rang out, coming from the Peacock King's back.

That was Wang Hongwu. He moved again, sweeping across the three thousand realms with one hand and suppressing a million heavens with one palm!

He simply and forcefully swept past them, single-handedly suppressing all the kings!

The Heavenly King's might was unparalleled, and his battle prowess was unprecedented. That kind of power was too terrifying, causing instability in the order of heaven and earth, interfering with the life and death of the ancient realm, and even creating a phantom of the River of Time.

In particular, the Immortal King, who was at the forefront, was directly covered in it, and a boundless blood mist erupted from it. He was crushed to death!
This shocked the world, and the weapons brought by other kings were all shaken off, their surfaces riddled with cracks.

Keep in mind that there are already eight Immortal Kings here! Among them are two giants and several top-tier experts, yet they were all forced to retreat by just one person!

In addition, an immortal king has been resurrected, and a colossal Dharma form has appeared at the far end of the universe. The immortal king was astonished and came to help in the battle.

Wang Hongwu remained silent. Besides the five Immortal Kings around him, there were also Immortal Kings' Dharma images reflected by the King's Law behind him, one after another, including the Banished Immortal King, the Dark Immortal King, and the Fallen Immortal King, exuding endless pressure, as if a group of peerless powerhouses had truly descended.

One man forming an army is more powerful than a group of immortal kings.

"Heh, what an arrogant young man. When you reach our age, you're unwilling to move. A period of seclusion can last for ages. If you want to rise up, who hasn't crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood? If you don't fight in this world, you'll look very pathetic. I, this old bone, will also meet a master."

Then a purple-gold gourd appeared, belonging to a giant. He had also arrived. On the other side, the giant Wu Shang also appeared, carrying a bronze halberd, surrounded by a pure white halo.

That was the race's most bizarre innate divine ability: immunity to magical power, which was a deadly threat.

As you can see, the runes and magical techniques that scattered from the battles of the kings were all dissolved in front of him, unable to harm his body, and he walked over calmly.

The Ten Immortal Kings, including four giants and four supreme masters, joined forces to block Wang Hongwu!

This battle was so fierce that the sun and moon lost their light and the mountains and rivers lost their color. What was speechless was that, from beginning to end, Wang Hongwu remained firmly seated on the Peacock King's back, without moving or swaying, and did not go to other universes. Instead, one universe after another was drawn in by the great battle and kept rotating in front of them.

The alien creatures were horrified. When had they ever seen so many people surrounding and hunting a single person? It was too bizarre!
Even an Immortal King had his arm torn off and his body smashed apart, while Wang Hongwu remained seated there. Despite being hit several times, he withstood the impact by relying on the strength of his physical body. Wang Daomu's Golden World Body suppressed the entire scene, but it was he who fought with great force, killing the Immortal King in horror.

They were hunting, and this guy was braver than any king!
Someone beat the war drums, calling for the Immortal King who had not yet appeared, and sent a message to the Boundary Sea. Another group of figures appeared and surrounded them, shouting, "You audacious madman, you dare to act recklessly in my realm! The Kings Hunt Dragons, you will not escape!"

Surrounded by kings, who can stand against them?
"All the heavens are my manifestations, but the one true reality exists throughout eternity!"

Group battle? Wang Hongwu sneered. He was least afraid of group battles. In an instant, the ten supreme ferocious spirits that had been circling his body rushed out and transformed into flesh and blood immortal golden bodies.

Black Gold True Dragon, Orange Gold Qilin, Azure Gold Kunpeng, Golden Thunder Emperor, Crimson Gold Phoenix, White Gold Heavenly Horned Ant, Green Gold Nine Nether Hound, Blue Gold Divine Cricket, Purple Gold Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, Seven-Colored God-Slaying Stone, and even their ferocious forms after their fall, all merged together, taking the Kingly Immortal Seed as their body, and transformed into ten supreme Immortal Kings who pounced on them.

Eleven people surrounded and killed ten!

One man surrounded all the kings.
