The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 148 Wrap My Corpse in the Battle Flag! (4K, Bonus Chapter, Please Subscribe)
Xu He, who was in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, was unaware that his battle had already caused a great uproar in the Immortal Realm.

At this moment, he was still throwing punches.

The two immortal kings were already exhausted. The battle situation here was more obvious than at the Imperial Pass, and victory was closer. All living beings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths saw hope.

The alien realm naturally witnessed this scene as well, and determined to win the battle, it committed even more troops to the Great Crimson Heaven.

The battle became increasingly intense, and at that moment, a furious roar of defiance finally came from the direction of Da Chi Tian.

The body of an immortal king no longer hangs high in the heavens, but has lost its former majesty and fallen humbly to the earth, without even the chance to prolong its life.

Xu He shattered the spine of this Immortal King with a single step, shocking the heavens and earth, and enraging the Immortal Kings from other realms.

People die on the battlefield, and even immortal kings fall—this is a fact known to both realms. But the problem is, the other realm absolutely cannot accept that the first immortal king to die in battle will be their own immortal king.

"Disgraceful, utterly disgraceful! Men, come with me and kill him!"

An elderly immortal king spoke up angrily, calling on several friends to go to the Great Crimson Heaven together.

They don't care at all about bullying the weak or winning unfairly.

After all, the start of this great battle was a clash of vastly unequal strength, and the consensus among all the immortal kings was to hunt down the Immortal King.

"Want to roam freely through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths as if they were nothing? Have you even asked me first!" The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King intervened, sealing off this space.
In an instant, the space tunnel that had been opened was sealed off.

You can only enter, not leave.

The Immortal King Wuzhong also did his best to cooperate with the Immortal King of Six Paths of Reincarnation to carry out the blockade.

They knew that if the immortal kings joined forces, they could indeed reopen the tunnel.

But they also knew that Xu He's slaying of an immortal king from another realm had greatly boosted their morale, making it the best time for the cultivators of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to launch a counterattack.

The enemy already had a vanguard that had crossed the Imperial Pass, and fear was growing, but now the cultivators of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths launched a frenzied counterattack.

The Red King glanced at the sealed-off space but was not annoyed.

What impact would it have on him if he could only enter but not leave?

An Lan, Yu Tuo, and the others have already entered the Great Crimson Heaven. With the combined strength of these several supreme immortal kings, how could they possibly perish in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?
Furthermore, the great formation set up by the Immortal King of No End and the Immortal King of Six Paths of Reincarnation, which allows entry but not exit, is also a kind of self-imposed constraint.

The Crimson King waved his battle flag, but instead of waking Kundi, who was sleeping inside the Immortal Refining Pot, he summoned four giant-level Immortal Kings.

This is not the full strength of the alien realm. There are still some giant-level immortal kings left behind in the alien realm, but they are left to guard against the immortal realm.

Currently, the five Immortal Kings at the giant level are enough to determine the outcome of this battle.

At this level of cultivation, everyone is an old monster who has lived for countless years.

There is no difference in foundation or background.

There may be differences in strength, but they will not be very obvious, and there will be no possibility of fighting across levels or ranks.

A battle between two giant-level immortal kings can only result in mutual destruction. It is a delicate balance, but once the numbers are unbalanced, the scales of victory will shift significantly.

Five giants...

At this moment, whether it was the Immortal King Wuzhong, the Immortal Monk King and his companions, or ordinary Supreme beings, they all felt an overwhelming pressure.

Some people have fallen into deep despair.

However, neither the Immortal King of No End nor the Immortal King of Six Paths of Reincarnation showed any intention of retreating.

"If I die in battle, wrap my body in the battle flag!" As soon as the Immortal King Wuzhong finished speaking, he soared into the sky.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King did not hesitate at all.

This is a battle where the enemy outnumbers us, but they are the towering mountains of this land; if the sky were to fall, they would be there to shoulder the responsibility.

If they do not fight, these five giant-level immortal kings will sweep through the Imperial Pass in an instant.

Even knowing it's a trap or an encirclement, they still do it.

Their determination to die inspired countless people to pray fervently, and a sense of sorrow permeated everyone's hearts.

The battle was fierce, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, a scene of desolation and despair.

But at this moment, a clear dragon roar came from the depths of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, spreading out and sweeping across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in an instant, reaching other realms, and even the Immortal Realm could hear it clearly.

The dragon's roar shattered the despair and sorrow of the battlefield, and countless people eagerly awaited its arrival.

At this moment, the sky was covered, and not a single ray of sunlight remained.

All that remained was the enormous, indescribable shadow on the ground.

A real dragon, winding and coiling!

"True Dragon King!" A figure of Immortal King level spoke up within the Immortal Realm.

They had witnessed the true dragon king's power firsthand; both his physical body and his primordial spirit were impeccably strong.

Even if you've never seen it before, you'll still be awestruck by its aura.

Therefore, no one questions that the True Dragon King is the leader of the Ten Evils of Antiquity.

What they didn't know was that in the Boundary Sea, there was an ancient Ten Fiends whose strength had long surpassed that of all living beings.

"True Dragon King, do you think you can change the course of the battle by yourself?" the Crimson King said, looking at the True Dragon King.

"What do you mean by 'alone'?" the True Dragon King retorted. "Have you forgotten that a True Dragon never refers to a single person?"

As soon as the words fell, countless resounding dragon roars echoed from the depths of the heavens and earth, their sound shaking the ages!
"In my True Dragon Clan, only the truly supreme can be called king, but my people are equally invincible in the world!" The True Dragon King's words resonated, inspiring everyone's spirits.

Morale was greatly boosted at this moment.

At this moment, enormous dragon bodies, capable of obscuring the sky, appeared.

"It seems your True Dragon Clan has laid bare its secrets," the Crimson King sneered, looking at the young, immature True Dragons at the very end of the clan.
"Coming to die before even becoming an immortal? Does a reptile really think it's a true dragon?"

At the end of the true dragon clan, the supreme-level young dragon roared: "Can't you kill trash without becoming an immortal? I see there are plenty of ants in other realms as well."

"The younger generation has its own battles; we older generation shouldn't get involved." Another powerful true dragon descended before the Crimson King.

Sensing the power of the true dragon before him, the Crimson King was somewhat surprised, for it was only slightly weaker than the True Dragon King.

"I am second only to the dragon in the world," the true dragon said.

"There's nothing more to say, kill!" the True Dragon King commanded, his boiling blood unleashing the most powerful magic technique in the world.

The resounding roars of dragons echoed through the heavens, shaking the past, present, and future.

The moment this dragon's roar appeared, all beings, whether from other realms or from the heavens and earth, were momentarily stunned.

Even ordinary immortal kings cannot avoid being affected by it.

Xu He seized the opportunity and threw a punch. The dazzling golden fist light ignored the distance and slammed towards the head of the Immortal King in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, the Immortal King's head was mostly shattered, but the Celestial King's vitality still allowed him to linger on.

Xu He didn't give him enough time to repair himself, and took out the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Sword, slashing down with it.

The crimson sword energy swept across from the Great Crimson Heaven all the way to the Imperial Pass.

Deep ravines were left along the way. The Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Sword drank the blood of the Immortal King, sending that Immortal King into the cycle of reincarnation.

After the two Immortal Kings that Xu He had killed perished, for some reason, he always felt that fighting against Immortal Kings could enhance his understanding of the Immortal King's Dao Fruit.

Killing it, on the other hand, would bring even greater benefits.

He felt that he was only one step away from breaking through to the Immortal King realm.

The idea for the sixth secret realm gradually took shape in his mind.

Xu He knew that now was not the time to think about these things. The war had not stopped, and the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass still had some strength left, but the Great Crimson Heavenly Lord was already exhausted.

His figure quickly disappeared, and he suddenly threw a punch at the immortal king from another realm who was fighting against the Great Crimson Heaven Lord.

The unparalleled light of the fist shone brightly once more, revealing its overwhelming power.

The Immortal King, who was battling the Great Crimson Lord, suddenly turned around, his pupils dilating in shock.

Previously, his attack on the Great Crimson Heavenly Lord was easy and effortless. The opponent was indeed incredibly close to a Celestial King, but ultimately his strength was far inferior.

But now, as the golden fist strikes, he can't muster the slightest thought of resistance; all he wants to do is escape.

But ironically, he didn't even have the power to escape.

The awe-inspiring power left him frozen in place, unable to move.

Like a herbivore cornered by a carnivore, with no way to escape, the fear deep in its soul grows and gradually overwhelms its body.

"Could today be my death day?" the Immortal King asked in horror, his voice trembling.

The fighting here attracted the attention of several Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm, to the point that their gaze was no less intense than that of the Imperial Pass.

"Could it be that he's going to slay three Immortal Kings all by himself today?" One Immortal King frowned. "He's just an ordinary Immortal King, how can his strength be so formidable?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the immortal kings who could hear them all fell silent.

After a long while, someone finally spoke:
"Are you really not going to make a move?"

"No way, do you want to get involved in that karma? Do you want to be invaded by strange substances?" a rebuttal voice came.

“But that person has the potential to become a giant in the future. If he wants to settle scores in the future…” the person spoke again.

Upon hearing this, a rebuttal rang out again: "It's very simple. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will surely be destroyed. If we don't let him enter the Immortal Realm, he will have nowhere to escape. Considering that it will take some time to capture such a person, we can inform the other realm of his location when necessary."

The words caused a huge uproar among the Immortal Kings.

"Don't you really understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'?" The Immortal King, who advocated for aiding the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, slammed his fist on the table and stood up angrily, shouting, "If you sell the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths today, will you sell the Immortal Realm tomorrow!"

"Don't try to pin this on me." The retorting Immortal King retorted without backing down: "If you want to go to the aid, then go by yourself. Once you're there, don't even think about returning to the Immortal Realm."

"If you're just looking for trouble, I'm willing to set aside my pride and fight you."

At this moment, the power of the two Immortal Kings surged continuously, and for a time, the Immortal Realm was filled with a murderous aura. The two auras were evenly matched.

"Look! Someone blocked that attack!" someone shouted.

Everyone turned their attention to the battlefield of the Great Crimson Sky.

The powerful force of the punches had been neutralized, stirring up endless dust.

As everything settled, a golden light flashed, and then a long spear appeared.

At that moment, a gloomy man wearing a crown also stepped out.

"It's him? This is going to be interesting." Seeing the man holding the golden spear walk out, the immortal king felt relieved.

"Is it An Lan, the newly crowned supreme immortal king from another realm? Then it is indeed over."

“An Lan, with Yu Tuo beside him, is also a peerless immortal king. It’s over.” Another immortal king chimed in.

Both of them are quite renowned, and given their strength and level, no miracles are likely to occur.

Nine Heavens and Ten Earths

An Lan slowly stepped out, her gaze coldly fixed on Xu He before her, and it took her a long time to recognize his identity:

"I never imagined you would come to this life. You have quite a few secrets to tell."

“An Lan, our mission is to win this battle quickly and coordinate with the Red King from within! This is not the time for you to indulge your personal desires!” Yu Tuo knew about the grudges between the two and also knew An Lan’s personality.

If left unchecked, it will likely take a very long time.

"None of you are allowed to interfere in this matter!" An Lan roared suddenly, her voice echoing throughout the world.

The battlefield came to a brief standstill because of those words.

"I want to kill him with my own hands, eat his flesh raw, and drink his blood!"

An Lan's face was grim:

"For countless millennia, I have longed for this day... Now, I have become stronger, while you are still only at the ordinary Immortal King level..."

"The flowing water doesn't compete for immortality, but for endless flow. In this battle, you are destined to lose."

An Lan finished speaking but did not make a move, seemingly waiting for Xu He's last words.

Xu He remained calm and composed, showing no pressure from the Supreme Immortal King, only contempt for his defeated opponent.

"You were lucky enough to escape with your life back then, and now you've grown into a supreme immortal king. It seems the foreign lands have spared no expense for you," Xu He sneered.

"Is this what you call 'flowing water doesn't compete for the lead'? Is this what you call 'eloquent and incessant'?"

As soon as Xu He finished speaking, An Lan could no longer bear it.

His fig leaf had been torn off, and he was furious. He knew that many eyes were watching the Great Red Heaven right now, and Xu He's words were undoubtedly a slap in the face to him.

"Judging from what the two of them said... could it be that this person really fought with An Lan before and even won?" a Celestial King from the Celestial Realm asked in surprise.

At this moment, all the immortal kings were thinking in their minds, but after a long time they still couldn't find a specific person.

"That can't be right! There are no Immortal Kings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths who have taken the initiative to attack, nor in the Immortal Realm. So who is this person? He doesn't belong to the Immortal Realm, nor to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Where did he come from?!"

All the Celestial Kings were shocked.

As they pieced together the scattered clues, a sense of fear arose within them.

Looking at Xu He again, for some reason, I felt that I could sense a strong sense of cause and effect from him.

It was a special feeling, indescribable and inexplicable.

"Could he be a Celestial King who has been hiding in the Boundary Sea for a long time? Is he currently concealing his strength, which is why he was able to kill three Immortal Kings in succession?" A thought suddenly arose in everyone's mind.

But this idea only received approval from a few people.

Some people hold a pessimistic attitude.

"Do you think... he might actually attack the Immortal Realm in the future and settle scores with us?"
