The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 143 You are one of the Ten Great Fiends of the Primordial Era!

As soon as An Lan finished speaking, he abandoned the Crimson Peak Spear and the Immortal Shield, and charged towards Xu He in the most primal form.

"Well done!"

This hand-to-hand combat suited him perfectly, and Xu He roared as he leaped to meet the enemy.

"This ignorant junior... has only gone too far down the path of techniques and methods, and truly does not know the immensity of heaven and earth."

An immortal king from another realm wore a mocking expression:
"An Lan, as the pride of our clan, is not only powerful in techniques and magic, possessing the bearing of a giant, but his physical body is also impeccably strong, even I may not be able to compare with him..."

His meaning was extremely clear; he even dared to say that the battle would end soon.

An Lan's physical body is obvious to all and is no secret in foreign lands.

The Crimson King was also aware of this. Unlike the other Immortal Kings who were confident of victory, he was extremely calm. Although he knew that the scales of victory were tipping, he was still observing Ye Fan's expression.

Not a trace of worry... on the contrary... ease?
A hint of doubt flickered in the Crimson King's eyes. The next moment, a thunderous fist struck, followed by a scream.

"what!"

That was the roar of the Immortal King, its power shaking the heavens and nearly shattering the universe.

The Crimson King's pupils suddenly contracted, and he stiffly turned around.

The immortal kings froze, their faces contorted with utter terror.

Following their gaze, they saw An Lan fleeing into the distance, with a hideous and terrifying hole appearing in his chest.

Inside the large hole, a beating heart is clearly visible, and fresh blood churns and pours out, dripping into the long river of time, adding a touch of ruthlessness and desolation to the mysterious river of time.

An Lan herself was clutching the wound on her chest, breathing heavily in disbelief.

His pupils contracted sharply, and the pain emanating from his body relentlessly pierced his nerves.

All of this was unpredictable.

With his heart exposed, An Lan and the other Immortal Kings knew that if this devastating blow had advanced even half an inch further, it would have truly destroyed his heart!

Although destroying the heart will not directly kill a being at the level of an Immortal King, it will certainly cause serious injury, affecting its future state. Its foundation may even be damaged, preventing it from taking a single step forward in its lifetime.

Such a loss is unbearable for both Anlan and the foreign lands.

They all knew that although An Lan was currently just an ordinary Immortal King, his future potential was definitely to reach the top, and it was even possible for him to become a giant-level existence.

The Crimson King's eyes flickered slightly, and his five fingers moved continuously, as if he was about to do something, but he found himself locked onto by a force of energy.

"Damn it." The Crimson King's face immediately darkened, and he gave Ye Fan a cold look in return.

"Fellow Daoist, do you really think I'm afraid of you? The outcome of our battle is still uncertain, so don't assume you have the upper hand!"

The Crimson King roared, clearly enraged, and his aura, at the level of a giant, surged forth, even approaching the ranks of supreme giants.

"I know you're a big shot too, but so what?" the Crimson King scoffed, his expression extremely disdainful.
"At worst, we'll sink the River of Time! Let the past, present, and future all sink into oblivion! We'll completely disrupt this ancient history!"

He didn't mention those officials, but he also had his own concerns.

After all, he was among the giants and could handle the current situation perfectly well. If what the person from the future said was true, and he had summoned those great figures, then a powerful figure of the same level would also appear in the future.

At that time, it will truly be a sinking into the long river of time.

There was absolutely no room for negotiation.

The Crimson King did not want to die, nor did he want to die as a result of the repercussions of the powerful figures. Every day and night after each offering, he would exchange his incomplete imperial scripture for the opportunity to break through the king's control and become an emperor. Deep in his heart, he had always harbored the idea of ​​breaking through the king's control and becoming an emperor.

Downstream in the long river of time, Ye Fan's aura was revealed at this moment.

The overwhelming blood energy, like a vast ocean, rushed straight towards the faces of the immortal kings in an instant.

The primordial energy of all things also surged at this moment, spreading to all the heavens and myriad realms.

An epic battle of gods is about to erupt at this moment.

But at that moment, an angry voice rang out:

"Stop!" Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice, which was none other than An Lan!

At this moment, he had just finished repairing the wound on his chest, and the anger in his eyes was almost tangible. He stared at Xu He, wishing he could devour his flesh and drink his blood!

"I need to settle things with him first; I don't care what happens after that!"

An Lan's angry voice rang out again, and the tense atmosphere between the two sides eased at this moment. They were still in a standoff, but the killing intent was no longer as strong as before.

Clearly, both sides want to give An Lan and Xu He a fair chance to fight.

Xu He also stepped forward at this moment. Just as An Lan was repairing her chest, he was also trying his best to repair his injuries.

As expected of the Immortal King, just now, An Lan's punch almost shattered his own shoulder blade, tearing his shoulder off.

Fortunately, in this physical battle, he was not the one who lost.

At that moment, a pair of venomous eyes were also staring intently at him.

"Which of the Ten Ancient Fiends are you?" An Lan asked.

He couldn't believe that someone who could hold their own in hand-to-hand combat could be a true immortal cultivator.

Only the Ten Evils of the Primordial Era!

Not a Celestial King, yet possessing heaven-defying combat power, he is one of the Ten Ancient Fiends capable of fighting against Celestial Kings!
Initially, cultivators from other realms and even the Immortal Realm only regarded the Ten Ancient Fiends as slightly stronger True Immortal Realm cultivators.

However, some people were horrified to discover that the physical bodies of the Ten Ancient Fiends were incredibly powerful, comparable to those of Immortal Kings.

If Xu He in front of us is one of the Ten Ancient Fiends, it might explain why he has such a powerful physical body, since the threshold for the Ten Fiends is basically the Immortal King Body.

However, his monstrous techniques and spells...

If they are truly the Ten Fiends, then they would definitely be among the top few.

A descendant of the cricket ancestor? Or a horned ant? Or perhaps a true dragon?
An Lan's voice also attracted the attention of the group of Immortal Kings. They had been so focused on confronting Ye Fan that they had neglected the battle between the two. By the time they refocused on the battle, An Lan had already been injured.

They initially thought it was caused by Xu He's magic, but now it seems to be the result of a hand-to-hand combat.

The Ten Evils?

Several Immortal Kings pondered at this moment. An Lan would never have uttered those words without reason. Although they did not know Xu He's background, those few words were enough for them to assess the strength of Xu He's physical body.

“If they are truly descendants of the Ten Fiends, then upon returning, we may need to exterminate them all first,” one of the immortal kings from the alien realm said slowly.

They had always planned to attack the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but their primary targets were always the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King and the Endless Immortal King.

It seems that the Ten Fiends also need to be closely watched.

Especially the Thunder Emperor!
Xu He did not respond to An Lan, but continued to throw punches.

The two once again engaged in a divine battle, traversing the river of time from its lower reaches to its upper reaches, leaving their mark on the tides of every era.

The divine battle between the two nearly destroyed this world. The Immortal Realm, with its nine heavens and ten earths already in ruins, was now ravaged by the battle between two Immortal Kings, and seven or eight other Immortal Kings confronting each other in the River of Time. This was an event that had never been seen before in all of history.

Even during the peak of the Immortal Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, no one summoned the River of Time, nor did anyone fight on it.

Right now, cracks have appeared in the world's barrier. At first, they were just small gaps, but some cosmic winds blew in from the outside, stirring up storm after storm on the edge of the universe.

Immediately afterwards, the small cracks gradually widened and cracked, turning into ravines.

The heavens and the earth are truly about to crumble.

The Immortal Realm is also in a bad state, constantly disintegrating and collapsing. The Immortal Realm, which was once broken into countless small worlds, is now very likely to disintegrate again.

Countless lives wept in anguish at this moment.
Witnessing all this, Xu He was briefly stunned. He managed to free one hand from the fight, lifted the World Bag, and forcefully closed it up with his single hand to prevent further collapse.

But in that split second of attention, An Lan unleashed a merciless punch, piercing through Xu He's chest!

"You dare to be distracted while fighting me? Just because of these ants from the lower realms?" An Lan revealed a chilling, inhuman smile, devoid of any humanity, only cruelty remaining:

"I will slaughter them one by one. This time, I will not give them another chance."

He thought about it a lot, but in the end he decided to go on a killing spree.

The Crimson King has been searching for cultivators from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths who might influence the existence of the Immortal King in future generations, and has hunted down many prodigies over the past tens of thousands of years.

However, these Nine Heavens and Ten Earths seem extremely tenacious, requiring them to be dispatched every so often to kill newly emerging prodigies.

He was tired, and he wanted to turn things around.

“Bearing endless karma, even if it affects the great reckoning in future generations, I will slaughter them all!” An Lan laughed maniacally.

With one hand protecting the common people and the other helplessly dealing with the injury to his kidney, Xu He distanced himself from An Lan.

At this moment, overwhelming blood energy and boundless life essence permeated the air, causing the body to continuously recover and return to its peak.

"I will protect all living beings for you; you just need to fight." At this moment, Ye Fan's voice came from the lower reaches of the River of Time, quite arrogant.

The faces of the immortal kings turned cold.

Ye Fan's words clearly showed his arrogance and disregard for them!
Xu He did not hesitate for a moment, releasing his hand to recommend Huanyu and going all out in the battle.

The golden blood energy surged into the sky, turning into a red cloud that spanned ancient and modern times. The sky exploded and billions of chaotic energy ejected from the cracks in the void.

Xu He was like a small boat on a golden ocean, with every strand of his flowing hair bearing the laws of immortality.

He threw a punch.

In an instant, the starry sky exploded with light, and the light filled the entire universe. The unparalleled fist light swept across everything with an overwhelming momentum.

An Lan's pupils suddenly contracted. The power of this punch had, to some extent, reached the pinnacle of an ordinary Immortal King's strike.

Even if he stubbornly resists, there is still a risk of him perishing.

Without hesitation, he slipped away.

However, the fist light seemed to possess the power of space, traversing the river of time to pursue them.

Even if An Lan traveled from the lower reaches of the River of Time to the lower reaches of the River of Time again, the light of his fist was not weakened in the slightest by the passage of time!
As the fist's light drew ever closer, An Lan's hair stood on end. In the dim light, he seemed to see the cycle of reincarnation for eternity, and his eyes were instantly stung by the golden light.

"No!" he cried out, but ultimately could not dodge the attack.

This strike evaporated a portion of the river of time, instantly halting the eastward flow of water and freezing the waves in everyone's heart.

The Immortal Kings roared in fury, their oppressive aura transforming into endless mountains that crashed down from the heavens!

Xu He was jolted and bled, but he still forced himself to stand up straight, his eyes bloodshot, and struggled to raise his fists.

He saw that An Lan had not actually perished after taking that blow.

One life remains.

"Heavenly Emperor Fist!"

At this moment, golden light filled the sky, stirring up a storm and affecting everyone's hearts.

Everyone could foresee that a seemingly powerful and immortal king was truly about to fall in the long river of time.

"Junior, you dare!"

With a roar, the Crimson King, free from all worries, summoned the Crimson King Furnace, which instantly expanded a billion times, enveloping the heavens and threatening to refine the entire universe.

The overwhelming, domineering fist light was also suppressed at this moment, changed direction, and finally struck into a long river of time.

The riverbank was shattered, and the river of time was thrown into complete chaos.

Fragments of time flew about, transforming into a shower of light that shone across the heavens.

The Crimson King Furnace flew horizontally, carrying An Lan away from that vortex of time.

Ye Fan also made his move at this moment. He had no scruples now. Since the other party had rescued An Lan right under his nose, he naturally wanted to leave something behind from the Immortal King.

A burst of golden light suddenly appeared, and an even more powerful Heavenly Emperor Fist illuminated the universe.

The Crimson King's pupils constricted sharply, and he summoned the Crimson King Furnace to defend himself.
However, the power of this punch was too overwhelming. The Crimson King Furnace, which refined heaven and earth, was blasted away. The punch landed in the crowd of Immortal Kings, and two Immortal Kings were immediately severely injured!

"I can rescue An Lan, but in exchange for the lives of two Immortal Kings!" Ye Fan sneered.

Unleash the Emperor's Fist.

The river of time flows erratically, sometimes swift, sometimes slow.
Seeing that Emperor Fist was burdened by the River of Time, the Crimson King immediately opened a passage back to the Immortal Era:

"You take Anlan away, I'll cover the rear."

The Crimson King faced Ye Fan directly, intending to pave a way out for the Immortal Kings. Unexpectedly, after a brief pause, Ye Fan's Emperor Fist transcended space and time, exploding behind the Crimson King in an instant.

"what!"

Two screams came from behind the Crimson King, their shrill cries almost shattering the entire heavens.

Two figures at the level of Immortal Kings perished completely at this moment after being struck by Ye Fan's two punches.

"Insolence!" the Crimson King roared. The deaths of two Immortal Kings were a loss no dynasty could afford. It was precisely because he didn't want An Lan to perish that he deliberately broke the rules and attacked.
But unexpectedly, it has now cost the lives of two people.

Currently, several immortal kings have led the fallen to the entrance of the space, and they can return at any time.

He could only hope that a miracle would happen in a foreign land, and at the same time, he was free from burdens and shackles.

He flashed and began to truly fight Ye Fan.

Yu Tuo, carrying An Lan on his back, looked at Xu He as they were about to return to the foreign land and roared:
"Once I return, I will slaughter everyone in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"

Xu He, equally unwilling to be outdone, looked over as well:

"Wash your neck clean, and wait for me to storm into the Immortal Ancient Realm!"
