The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 149 At the Pinnacle of Immortality, Supreme in the World! With me, Anlan, there is heaven!
Such words sounded extremely jarring next to the Immortal King who advocated letting the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths live and die on their own.

Liquidation?

He absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.

He didn't believe Xu He had such ability. As a top-tier Immortal King, he could naturally sense Xu He's realm. He could only say that Xu He's strength was a bit strange, but his strength was far from reaching the level of a top-tier Immortal King.

"So what if you win?" This supreme immortal king turned his gaze to the Imperial Pass.

The number of cultivators at the True Immortal and Immortal King levels on both sides was far too disparate.

Everyone is surprised that they have managed to persevere until now.

On one hand, there is the Imperial Pass, and on the other hand, there are differences in the world. The immortal king from another realm will be somewhat affected when he forcibly enters the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, which will be detrimental to future generations.

But clearly, that's not the most important point.

The formidable strength of the Immortal King Wuzhong and the Immortal King Liudao Lunhui was the fundamental reason why the great war could continue.

"The ancestral spirit of the lower realm seems to be absent?" Ao Sheng asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.

His initial idea was simply to have the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths fight a bloody battle with the foreign lands, ideally resulting in mutual destruction.

No matter how dilapidated the lower realm is, it has little impact on the immortal realm. To him, the greatest value of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is only the consumption of other realms.

Furthermore, the vast majority of Immortal Kings in the current Immortal Realm hold an indifferent attitude towards the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Since it didn't concern them, they remained indifferent, which led to the scene of the celestial kings watching the show.

For them, the Immortal Realm was impregnable, and with an unparalleled giant in charge, even foreign lands dared not invade. So why bother rescuing some unrelated people?

Moreover, fighting in the lower realms and other realms carries the risk of death.

Although he knew all this, the word "liquidation" he had just heard was really jarring, making his face turn icy cold.

In the end, he merely shifted his gaze from the Imperial Pass to the direction of the Great Crimson Heaven, staring at Xu He and saying:
"I'd like to see how you defy the heavens."

Nine Heavens and Ten Earths

Xu He held the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Sword, which was now engulfed in flames and had instantly transformed into a giant sword.

Facing An Lan, who was wielding the Crimson Peak Spear, he fearlessly soared into the sky, brandishing the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Sword, and in an instant, he collapsed like a mountain.

"The Shield of Immortality!"

Anlan roared as the crimson wave was about to pounce on him, and then an indestructible shield appeared in front of the many immortal kings, covering the heavens and the universe.

This attack was so powerful that even the Great Crimson Heavenly Lord, at the pinnacle of the Quasi-Immortal King realm, had to dodge it.

The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass had already fled far away, relying on the vastness of its sword energy to unleash its sword light from afar and attack the Immortal King.

But each and every attack was blocked by the Immortal Shield.

The Shield of Immortals seems to truly reflect the word "immortal".

When the dust settled, An Lan attacked Xu He again, while Yu Tuo and the others did not watch the battle. They knew the Red King's order to end the battle quickly.

Yu Tuo unleashed a punch that blasted through the crowd in the heavens and earth.

With Xu He held back by An Lan, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass and the Great Crimson Heavenly Lord were in even more difficult situations.

Faced with a group of immortal kings, everyone was filled with despair, as if the outcome was already decided.

But at that moment, that arrogant fist suddenly stopped.

When everyone opened their eyes, they saw a figure with flowing golden hair, holding Yu Tuo's large fist in one hand.

"Alicorn ants!"

At this moment, countless people, even the immortal king from another realm, recognized the blond man's identity.

One of the Ten Evils of Antiquity, the Heavenly Horned Ant.

Known for its strength, its power is earth-shattering, without the slightest exaggeration.

That was truly a case of hating the heavens without a handle and the earth without a ring; his strength might be hard to estimate, but if he were to lift the Heavenly Abyss with one hand, it would definitely be much easier than An Lan's.

"Are you here to die too?" Yu Tuo said coldly.

"Your Excellency is being rather arrogant. My Nine Heavens and Ten Earths may be somewhat weak, but..." The Heavenly Horned Ant's icy voice suddenly changed:
"But it's not to the point where there's no one left to use!"

"Our overall strength is indeed inferior to yours, but it's not to the point where you can come and go as you please."

As soon as the ant finished speaking, feathers slowly emerged in the sky. At first, people didn't understand why, but gradually, as the clouds in the sky were torn apart by the wings, a roc appeared in everyone's sight.

That was a female Kunpeng, at the Quasi-Immortal King level.

Her clan is similar to the True Dragons, with the strongest becoming king. The current Kunpeng King is fighting a bloody battle before the Imperial Pass, and as the second strongest in her clan, she naturally led her people here.

At the same time, purple clouds began to spread across the sky, and one after another, Qilin (mythical creatures) rode on auspicious clouds, bringing down sweet rain, symbolizing endless good fortune.

A series of clear phoenix cries echoed in the air as one immortal phoenix after another bathed in immortal fire arrived. Although the strongest among them was not as powerful as the Immortal King, they were still infinitely close to that level.

One by one, celestial spirits began to emerge. In the past, the existence of celestial spirits was not a secret; even ordinary people could glimpse them.

But it was never as numerous as it is now.

Everyone knows that this is the foundation of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Immortal Spirit Clan, and most of the Ten Fiends will probably be involved in this life-or-death battle.

"A bunch of quasi-Immortal Kings, do they really think they're Immortal Kings?" Yu Tuo sneered and began to wrestle with the Heavenly Horned Ants.

"Today, I, the King, will test what makes this so-called Immortal King different." The Heavenly Horned Ant, gripping Yu Tuo's large hand, continued to exert force.

The two sides did not change their postures at all, but their auras were constantly surging out. Even ordinary people without any cultivation, or supreme beings far away in the Imperial Pass, could feel that aura.

A pure contest of strength.

An ant stands firmly on the earth, while a person stands tall in the universe.

Gradually, the earth was torn apart and the sky was shattered.

The contest between the two sides ended in a draw.

"Hurry up and resolve this; that kid is far more complex than he appears." Yu Tuo glanced at Xu He.

He could sense that although An Lan was stronger than Xu He and was putting pressure on Xu He, Xu He was only at a disadvantage and showed no signs of defeat.

If things continue like this, given the series of miracles that occurred in the previous long river of time, who knows what changes might happen.

Yu Tuo immediately engaged the Heavenly Horned Ant in battle, seeking only to kill it as soon as possible and nip Xu He in the bud.

The battle in the Great Crimson Sky was incredibly exciting, with Xu He's Emperor Fist flashing intermittently, overwhelming everything in its path.

Even someone as strong as An Lan couldn't dodge all of them and was unfortunately hit. But it was this one blow that gave Xu He an opportunity to keep throwing punches.

By the time An Lan broke free from the overwhelming force of the Emperor's Fist, blood was already seeping from the corner of her mouth.

His body also had several fist wounds.

He was very fortunate that he had become stronger; otherwise, the fist wounds on his body would probably not have been just bruises, but gaping, bloody holes.

Looking at the fist marks on his body, An Lan couldn't help but recall that battle from the long river of time.

Even after countless ages have passed, even though it has long been deliberately forgotten.

But that intense pain and humiliation were already etched into my memory.

"I thought you could become so strong, but in the end you're still so vulnerable." Xu He wiped his chest, healing his gruesome injuries.

Both sides knew that this was a battle between unequal power levels, and An Lan's performance was utterly humiliating. This battle had attracted far too much attention—from the Immortal Realm and other realms, from the Immortal Kings of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to all living beings.

An Lan knew this very well.
Last time, he had already lost face, but fortunately, the Crimson King did not hold a grudge and even gave him a large amount of celestial treasures to help him recover and break through.

We absolutely cannot lose this time, and we cannot even allow the fight to become this close.

So An Lan took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, her pupils had turned completely golden.

His blood began to seep from his skin, his essence and blood intertwining with the spear.

In an instant, the golden spear shone brightly, illuminating the past, present, and future, as if it were destined to exist forever.

Its aura continues to surge.

Every strand of his hair shone with a dazzling light, just as brilliant as his Crimson Peak Spear, a light that has shaken the ages.

"They've pushed An Lan to this point..." Yu Tuo sighed deeply. He knew An Lan well and was aware that these were some of An Lan's biggest trump cards.

Originally intended to deal with the Ten Ancient Fiends, it is no exaggeration to say that it could even pierce through the Heavenly Horned Ants, which are currently fighting against Yu Tuo, with a single shot.

But now, it's going to be used on Xu He.

An Lan strode forward, wielding a golden spear in one hand and an immortal shield in the other, exuding an imposing and domineering aura.

"At the pinnacle of immortality, I reign supreme over the world; with Anlan here, there is heaven!"

"Crimson Peak Spear, Immortal Shield, slaying all Immortal Kings and destroying the Nine Heavens!"

The two consecutive sentences were so domineering that they not only spread throughout the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but also echoed continuously in the Immortal Realm and the Otherworld.

"Is this the aura of an immortal king?"

Within the Immortal Realm, some True Immortals and figures spoke with fear, for they had never left the Immortal Realm in their entire lives and had never opened their eyes to see cultivators from any other realm.

However, An Lan's two sentences were truly awe-inspiring, even those separated by the barrier of the Immortal Realm, and even those as powerful as True Immortals, were affected at this moment.

In an instant, it felt as if everyone's mood had sunk to the bottom of an abyss, and a deep fear permeated everyone's heart.

At this moment, some Celestial Kings also had different ideas.

If such an immortal king were to attack the Immortal Realm, how would they respond?
How many such immortal kings could one possibly defeat?
How many immortal kings are more powerful than Anlan?
The idea of ​​rushing to the aid of the heavens and the earth arose at this moment.

Only when the blade is about to strike you will you be able to do something.

Nine Heavens and Ten Earths

An Lan had already charged at Xu He with her gun drawn, without the slightest hesitation. Only the immortal flames burning on the tip of her gun consumed the heavens.

Xu He's pupils suddenly contracted, and a sense of impending death rose from the soles of his feet to his mind.

He tried to slip away, only to find that, under his powerful attack, this space had collapsed and been sealed off.

"Xu He, our feud ends today! Today is your death day!"

An Lan increased his speed, and with one shot, he pierced through the cosmos, his speed surpassing the passage of time, and with that single shot, he pierced through Xu He.

Even someone as strong as Xu He let out a painful scream.

At this moment, both the Immortal King Wuzhong and the Immortal King Liudao Lunhui in front of the Imperial Pass turned around, knowing the consequences of being distracted at this moment.

Previously, they regarded Xu He as a hope, especially after he defeated three Immortal Kings in succession. But now, it seems that Xu He is truly about to fall.

The power of that shot was so great that even they were unwilling to take it head-on.

"Is it all over?" the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King asked in grief.

He was mourning for Xu He, and also for the common people.

Such distraction is fatal, and soon, the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King also faced the consequences of being distracted.

An immortal king of immense power wielded his halberd, nearly slicing through his chest.

In a daze, countless people seemed to see the celestial king's demise.

At this moment, several of the Ten Primordial Fiends in the Great Crimson Heaven also felt indescribable emotions.

Now that the battle has progressed this far, everyone already knows who the vanguard is in both offense and defense.

Now, that person has been pierced by a single bullet.

All of the Ten Fiends knew that if they were the ones to be shot, being pierced through would mean certain death, without any doubt.

Their previous battles were already extremely difficult. Xu He's fall will only make things more difficult for them, and the battle situation will soon become unbalanced, leading to a massacre in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
The leader of the Celestial Phoenix Clan clenched his fists, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

As a celestial phoenix, she possesses the method of Nirvana. If that spear had pierced him instead, perhaps she could have defied the heavens and returned through Nirvana.

"If only it were me..." The leader of the Celestial Phoenix sighed deeply.

He knew that Xu He would be more useful than himself.

But now, it's all over.

The leader of the Celestial Phoenix sighed, intending to fight to the death, but suddenly, he keenly detected a subtle fluctuation.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and for some reason, at that moment, he actually sensed a Nirvana technique emanating from the Celestial Phoenix.

He was absolutely certain that he recognized that aura!

The leader of the Celestial Phoenix turned around blankly and looked in the direction where Xu He was.

There will be no other powerful Celestial Phoenix present.

But what if Xu He, this mysterious person, possesses the secret techniques of their clan?
At that moment, Xu He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Just now, his consciousness briefly disappeared, as if he had gone through a cycle of reincarnation, and now he has returned.

He looked at the spear in front of him, and at An Lan, who looked puzzled.

For some reason, Xu He smiled.

"You...you should have stabbed my Sendai."

Previously, when Xu He faced that earth-shattering spear, although he failed to tear through the void and escape, he still managed to change his own body.

An Lan's original target was Xu He's heart, but Xu He sacrificed his body and only suffered a fatal wound by having his right chest pierced.

Suddenly, celestial flames erupted around it.

In just a moment, the celestial fire continued to rise and boil, eventually turning into a raging inferno.

The golden spear was almost melted, and the aura of the immortal phoenix surged forth from within the immortal fire.

The leader of the Celestial Phoenix in the distance had a strange expression on his face, making it impossible to tell whether he was surprised or delighted.

"The Nirvana Method of the Immortal Phoenix... Could he be a predecessor of my Immortal Phoenix Clan?" This question arose in the mind of the Immortal Phoenix leader.

It also appears in the minds of many people.

An Lan, the Immortal King, quickly created distance. He looked at the golden spear, on which Xu He's blood had already spontaneously combusted, leaving not a trace.

Xu He's body had already been reshaped within the immortal fire. As the flames receded, his majestic figure reappeared.

"You are actually the Immortal King of the Immortal Phoenix Clan!" An Lan's voice was filled with astonishment.
