The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 147 Nine-Leaf Sword Grass
To be precise, it wasn't a human figure.

It was an object shaped like a wine pot, but this wine pot exuded an aura of power no less than that of any immortal king.

"The Immortal Refining Pot!" Immortal King Wuzhong finally recognized the pot.

As the voice of the Immortal King Wuzhong resounded, the Supreme Beings of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths before the Imperial Pass also voiced their doubts.

"Such immense power, daring to call it Immortal Refining?" Some were awestruck by its name. Although the artifacts of the Immortal King were all extremely domineering, the pressure emanating from that wine pot was undoubtedly a testament to its strength.

"Is that the Crimson King's celestial weapon?" someone asked warily. "But isn't the Crimson King's weapon the Crimson King Furnace? Could it be that there's someone else hiding in the shadows?"

Information about the Crimson King has spread throughout the world since the last battle between the two realms. His strength is so formidable that he can be considered invincible in the world. However, in that earth-shattering battle, he only used the Crimson King Furnace.

"That is an artifact from another ancient being." The voice of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King carried a hint of disbelief.

"Who?" Countless people across the nine heavens and ten earths asked in confusion.

“Kundi!” the Immortal King Wuzhong said expressionlessly.

As soon as the words were spoken, countless people felt a chill wind blow past, and their hearts pounded as if they were being warned.

In a daze, an extremely terrifying figure appeared in the minds of countless people.

emperor?
Although they didn't know which two characters were "Kun Di", the images that came to mind still reminded them of the character "Di".

In this era, who dares to claim the title of emperor?
The supreme name still exudes domineering power, but it is ultimately preceded by the word "humanity".

Immortal cultivation is a completely different realm.

Who dares to claim the title of emperor!
Even the most powerful giants can only reign supreme among the immortals!
All living beings in the nine heavens and ten earths fell silent, as if they were cicadas in winter. Regarding the Emperor, they could only recall one word.

The era of imperial decline.

"Could it be... that an emperor is hidden in that pot?" Countless people cried out in despair.

The Immortal King Wuzhong remained expressionless, but his heart was ice-cold to the extreme.

He didn't know much about Kundi, but the other party's reputation was simply too great.

If the Crimson King is the leader of the alien realm, then Kundi is the true head of the alien realm.

"They even brought him out." The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King remained silent for a long time.

Everything was rapidly heading towards the worst possible outcome. They could sense that Kundi inside the Immortal Refining Pot was still asleep, but once the war broke out, everything would change.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several sounds of space shattering in succession attracted the attention of countless people.

"The world barrier has been broken! Powerful beings from another realm have descended upon us!" a Supreme Being exclaimed in surprise.

Countless hearts sank, for they could sense that the person who had descended was at least a True Immortal.

Now that they are at the Imperial Pass, aren't they facing enemies on both sides?

"Four immortal kings have descended upon the Great Crimson Heaven!" The Kunpeng King soared into the sky at this moment, his gaze fixed intently on the direction of the Great Crimson Heaven.

Kunpeng King almost wanted to rush to Da Chitian's aid right now, but his figure froze in place.

It wasn't that the Immortal King of Wuzhong stopped him, nor that the Immortal King of the Otherworld made a move, but rather that he saw a sword formation rising from the ground in the direction of the Great Crimson Heaven.

Endless sword energy soared into the sky!

It actually managed to briefly stop the four immortal kings.

"Is it the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass?" someone asked doubtfully. They remembered that the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass was indeed comprehended in the Great Crimson Heaven.

But this idea was proposed only for a moment before it was immediately overturned.

“No, this sword energy is too unfamiliar. I’ve seen the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass before, but its sword energy wasn’t this… domineering.” A True Immortal Realm expert murmured from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

As he spoke, he felt somewhat incredulous.

The sword energy is even more domineering than the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.

Countless people are puzzled,
In the present world, when it comes to swordsmanship, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass is unparalleled. A single blade of grass can cleave stars. It was born of humble origins, yet it stands before all the immortals.

"It is indeed more domineering than the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass. The sword energy of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass is extremely sharp, but the sword energy that has appeared now does not seem to belong to a professional sword cultivator. It seems to be more like a path of breaking through all laws with brute force." The Immortal Monk King sensed it.

Both the Immortal King Wuzhong and the Immortal King Liudao Lunhui thought of Xu He.

"Could he really be the cause of this upheaval?" This question lingered in the minds of the two Celestial Kings.

When they visited the foreign land, they saw Xu He set up a great formation, but they did not know what kind of formation it was. Now that it has been activated, it is truly shocking to the world.

Even those from other lands were astonished.

The immortal kings' expressions changed; their original plan was to join forces and first destroy one of the sites.

However, the four immortal kings who descended upon the Great Crimson Heaven were stopped by a sword formation.

Among the Immortal Kings, An Lan and Yu Tuo felt a sudden unease, an inexplicable premonition.

In order to dispel the strangeness in their hearts, the two of them volunteered to descend upon the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

At that very moment, the equally uneasy Crimson King gazed into the Great Crimson Sky, feeling that the sword energy was strangely familiar.

But that thought was quickly dismissed.

The Immortal King has arrived, so naturally they must coordinate their efforts from within and without.

Without much hesitation, the protracted war finally broke out at the Imperial Pass.

……

Immortal Realm

A cultivator observed the battle situation in the lower realm and said:

"The scene is so devastating, are we really not going to intervene?"

The speaker was a supreme being, who was also filled with worry at this moment, and continued to speak:
"Our Immortal Realm has always played a pivotal role in resisting other realms, and it is also an ally of the lower realms. If we do not take action now, it would be somewhat..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by someone next to him:
"Why should we rush to the aid of the lower realm? In terms of foundation and strength, our Immortal Realm is superior to the Burial Ground and the Other Realm. The lower realm has already condescended by forming alliances with them twice before."

"The lower realm is nothing but a bunch of ants. They haven't made any progress over the years, and only a few of them have some strength."

"It's best to distance yourself from them as soon as possible."

Seemingly feeling that these words were insufficient to persuade the supreme ruler, he spoke again:

"Look, even the Immortal Kings of our Immortal Realm remain silent."

Each of the Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm has their own hidden agendas, and some of them have even clashed with the Seven Kings of the Borderlands, so they would never take action against them.

Various factions are scheming against each other, and people are not united, but most people have never heard of these events.

"They've broken through; it seems there's no turning back." The Supreme Being sighed as he looked at the Great Crimson Heaven, but soon his gaze locked onto a figure.

"A new Immortal King has been born in the lower realm?" At this moment, many Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm who were concerned about the progress of the war also focused their attention on Xu He.

Nine Heavens and Ten Earths

Xu He suddenly appeared before the four Immortal Kings and rescued the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass from the massive shockwave.

Looking at the four imposing Immortal Kings before him, Xu He said softly, "They are all ordinary Immortal Kings, and none of them have any notable names."

"Who are you, fellow Daoist?" Nine-Leaf Sword Grass asked in surprise, looking at Xu He who had suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Just now, he had been sunbathing here.

Then, four immortal kings suddenly appeared on his face.

A war with vastly unequal strength broke out, but just as the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass was suffering repeated defeats, Xu He arrived and helped him escape the Immortal King's attack.

At this moment, the Great Crimson Heavenly Lord also arrived. He was unable to take that step and could only rush to the battlefield ahead of schedule.

"There's no time for explanations." Xu He's eyes were fixed on the portal to the other world, where many more immortals had appeared.

A towering sword formation soared into the sky.

The two men and one blade of grass, facing four immortal kings and hundreds of thousands of immortals, were like a lone army facing a massive army.

Fortunately, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are not really as bad as they seem. The rulers of the Nine Heavens, as well as many supreme beings and true immortals, are heading to the Great Crimson Heaven at this moment.

At this moment, the Great Crimson Heaven and the Imperial Pass have become two battlefields, with the two sides constantly clashing.

The Great Crimson Heaven was clearly led by Xu He.

On the battlefield, there are no fewer than twenty experts at the True Immortal Realm and above, and a hundred Supreme Beings. This is already one of the few remaining resources in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The Great Crimson Heaven is also known by another name, the Heaven of Separation and Hatred.

It seems that all of this can be traced back to a specific point.

But Xu He will not allow the tragedy to repeat itself.

“Each of you hold off one Immortal King for me, and leave the remaining two to me,” Xu He said at this moment.

Although the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass and the Great Crimson Heavenly Lord are incredibly close to true Immortal Kings, they are ultimately unable to fight two Immortal Kings alone, and someone must step forward.

An immortal king from another realm snorted coldly, his face full of displeasure:

"I don't know where you came from, but you're being far too arrogant..."

Before the Immortal King could finish speaking, the next moment, golden fist light illuminated the entire Great Crimson Heaven, leaving no place for darkness to hide.

Xu He launched a sneak attack that disregarded martial ethics, throwing a punch that sent the Immortal King flying tens of thousands of miles away.

A rich aura of blood permeated the heavens and the earth, and the unparalleled light of the fist illuminated the eternal blue sky.

At this moment, the army far away in a foreign land paused.
The Crimson King's pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at the golden blood energy that had already spread beyond the Imperial Pass and entered the alien realm. Even someone as composed as him almost lost control.

It's him?

The young people we saw in the long river of time back then?
Could it be... that he really came to this life?
"Such a huge karmic consequence... how can he bear it?" the Crimson King muttered to himself. It was already difficult to change history on a small scale. If that young man really wanted to change the entire course of history, he would probably die at the very beginning!

The Crimson King is waiting, waiting for the moment when this cause and effect that will change history will backfire on Xu He.

But he waited for a long time before the Imperial Pass, only golden blood energy continued to spread, and the light of his fists would occasionally explode, showing no sign of being punished by cause and effect.

"Don't tell me that an ordinary Immortal King can ignore cause and effect."

The Crimson King's expression darkened; he really wanted to go and meet Xu He in person.

But at this moment, with the Immortal King of No End and the Immortal King of Six Paths of Reincarnation at the forefront, he simply didn't have that opportunity.

“Just an ordinary Immortal King shouldn’t change the established facts…” Crimson King glanced at the Immortal Refining Pot behind him and muttered to himself, “If something really happens, then I’ll have no choice but to forcibly awaken you.”

Although the Immortal King Wuzhong and the Immortal King Liudao Lunhui were engaged in a fierce battle, they were also very clear about the source of the bright light that was exploding in the rear and the golden blood energy that was spreading to the front line.

It was that young man who suddenly appeared.

"Could he be the one to change the course of the battle?" A huge question lingered in the minds of the two Celestial Kings.

But in the end, it was still a bit of a pity.

In the end, he was just an ordinary Celestial King. No matter how monstrous he was, what kind of game-changing effect could he have on the battle?
Unless he can unleash power at the level of a giant.

The Great Crimson Sky War has officially begun. The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass unleashed boundless sword energy, cleaving through stars above and piercing through immortality below. Even across the Milky Way, its exposed sharpness can dazzle the eyes and cause a sharp pain.

The Great Crimson Lord suffered repeated defeats, but fortunately, he was not defeated by the Immortal King he was fighting, and continued to struggle and entangle.

At this moment, True Immortals and Supreme Beings also attacked the Immortals from the other realm.

There may be some difference in quantity, but the soaring Zhuxian Sword Formation has narrowed that gap.

Even so, the battle between the two sides still saw the frequent fall of Supreme and True Immortal Realm experts.

Xu He's fighting spirit remained undiminished, just like his inexhaustible blood.

Even though he was fighting two immortal kings alone and felt immense pressure, he still displayed an invincible demeanor.

He was throwing punches, each one dazzling.

Its killing power has long surpassed that of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, which is known for its killing power. In fact, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass felt that its killing power seemed somewhat dull under the light of its fist that could break through all laws with its strength.

This wasn't just his idea; even the Immortal King, who was dueling with Xu He, thought so.

This is not an exaggeration at all; it is truly the case.

One of the Immortal Kings dodged Xu He's punch, feeling a lingering fear.

Although both exuded the aura of Immortal Kings, for some reason, he felt that although the other party's realm was slightly inferior to his own, their strength was absurd.

That astonishing punch was unlike anything an ordinary Celestial King could throw.

Instead, it made the Immortal King feel as if he were facing an Immortal King who had been famous for a long time.

Of course, the other immortal king did not believe in such superstitions.

He wanted to confront him head-on with his superior physical strength.
But when he was actually hit by the golden fist light,

He believed it.

From then on, we will no longer confront them directly and will try our best to avoid their sharp edge.

"Why is this person so outrageous?" The Immortal King, who had been dodging for a long time, said with a heavy breath, "If you and I unleash such a powerful killing technique, not to mention the consumption of spiritual power, even our strength will be exhausted and we will be unable to attack continuously."

"But why is it that he really does it as easily and effortlessly as if he were throwing a punch?" The Immortal King wondered deeply.

"Is this some kind of heaven-defying technique?" another immortal king asked.

Before Xu He threw his punch, he seemed like just an ordinary Immortal King, but when he wielded the Emperor Fist, a domineering aura emanated from him, making people want to submit.

These immortal kings had only ever felt such power from two other people in the foreign lands.

One of them was called the Red King, and the other was called Kundi.

At this moment, even the Immortal Realm, which had been observing the situation calmly, was no longer at ease.

Countless people began to discuss Xu He's background, because they had never heard of such a person before.

His strength was so formidable that he could fight two Immortal Kings alone.

Even many Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm were shocked by Xu He's strength.

As fellow Celestial Kings, they know best how difficult it is to be number one or number two.

But some people have done it now, and quite easily at that.

"He must be one of the Immortal Kings of my Immortal Realm, and he must have the bloodline of my Immortal Realm!" Finally, someone spoke with certainty.
