The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 150 Yu Tuo, Save Me! (4K, Bonus Chapter, Please Subscribe)
"I've never seen him before, and his name isn't even recorded in the ancient history of my Celestial Phoenix Clan..."

The leader of the Celestial Phoenix Clan stared intently at Xu He, who was undergoing Nirvana. Reason told him that Xu He was not a member of the Celestial Phoenix Clan, but although his method of Nirvana differed from his own, it was more effective.

He knew that this difference came from strength.

Within the Immortal Realm, a group of Immortal Kings were also getting restless.

The supreme being among them could certainly sense that Xu He was human, but that Immortal Phoenix Nirvana Technique did not seem to originate from the Immortal Phoenix Treasure Art; rather, it was somewhat similar to a product they had developed themselves.

If the facts are indeed as they speculate, then Xu He's potential in the future may be more than just that of a giant. Surpassing giants has always been a legend, and countless giants are striving for it.

This person seems to have such potential.

"Who the hell is he?"

At this moment, such a question lingered in everyone's mind.

The Great Crimson Heavenly Lord, the Ten Fiends, and the Immortal King of the Otherworld all had different expressions.

Its sudden appearance, with no known origin or background, seems... to have been born out of necessity.

"Anlan, kill him quickly!" Yu Tuo felt uneasy; for some reason, an aura of death began to permeate his heart.

His eyelids twitched uncontrollably. Although he did not believe in fate, he had never felt this way before.

"Whether it is true or not, I don't care." An Lan stared at Xu He in front of her and said coldly, "Just because I can kill you once doesn't mean I can't kill you a second time."

An Lan gripped the Crimson Peak Spear tightly and slowly raised it: "This time, I will shatter your skull."

He believed that even if the man standing on the cauldron reappeared in the long river of time, several powerful figures from the other realm would still be able to make him perish with resentment.

The flames on Xu He's body slowly faded away, turning into nothingness.

His body was completely unharmed, only the purest power surged forth.

"What a bold move! If I hadn't improved my strength, I might have really perished here today," Xu He said rather casually.

An Lan responded with disdain:

"Don't tell me that this rebirth will allow you to directly reach the pinnacle. Your foundation is not enough. Don't be delusional."

An Lan's words were true; breaking through from an ordinary Immortal King to the pinnacle was as difficult as ascending to heaven, requiring a long period of accumulation.

Most importantly, An Lan did not sense any signs from Xu He that he was about to break through to the pinnacle of the Immortal King realm.

"Among the best?" Xu He burst into laughter upon hearing this.

His laughter was extremely unrestrained and carefree, which sounded extremely jarring to the eyes of the immortal kings.

"Anlan, Anlan, after fighting with me for so long, if I told you that I haven't even reached the Immortal King level, would your Dao heart be shattered?" Xu He was still laughing.

Looking at An Lan, it was as if he were looking at a clown amusing himself.

Xu He's voice was extremely grating, and in an instant it spread throughout the nine heavens and ten earths, foreign lands, and immortal realms.

Countless people stopped moving as a result.

Immortal Realm

Many Celestial Kings could no longer remain calm.

Even without reaching the Immortal King realm, one can fight on equal terms with a top-tier Immortal King.
They were all at the Immortal King level, so their words were credible, and they firmly believed that no one would really do something so trivial as just a casual remark.

However, they were even more skeptical that someone who hadn't reached the Immortal King realm could fight an Immortal King to a standstill.

If that's the case, wouldn't they look like complete clowns?

Before the Imperial Pass, whether from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths or from the foreign lands, everyone fell silent.

Unbelievable lingered in everyone's mind.

This was unprecedented. If anyone else had said it, it would have only drawn laughter. But the one who spoke of it now was a ruthless man who had slain three Immortal Kings.
He is a mysterious cultivator whose origins, name, and background are unknown!

"I don't believe it!" An Lan's voice resonated throughout the world.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Xu He, trying to find any flaws or traces of lies on his face.

But all he saw was perseverance and courage.

"Hahahaha... You want to corrupt my Dao heart with this? Your dying counterattack, your last words are truly laughable!" An Lan laughed maniacally, even his golden spear was almost unsteady on his feet.

Yu Tuo also didn't believe it, but for some reason, the unease in his heart grew stronger, and a sense of death lingered in his mind, refusing to dissipate for a long time.

Upon seeing this, Xu He continued to laugh loudly.

This time, however, his laughter stirred the heavens and earth.

At this moment, the already overcast sky and earth became even more eerie.

The Great Dao, which had been somewhat damaged by the fierce battle between the Immortal Kings, began to stir and become active again.

Until the lightning flashed and the thunder roared.

An Lan's laughter stopped abruptly.

Instead, there is a collapse deep within the pupils, a fear that penetrates to the very marrow and the very root of the soul.

"The Great Tribulation of the Immortal King... Immortal King..."

At this moment, An Lan was somewhat numb. The smile on his face froze, transforming into another skin. He even stuttered when he spoke, showing no trace of the appearance of an immortal king.

The Celestial King's Tribulation? How could it possibly be the Celestial King's Tribulation!
Yu Tuo's fear was greater than ever before; the feeling of death and unease had become an indelible memory.

At this moment, both of them realized that Xu He had not lied.

In previous battles, he had not actually reached the level of a Celestial King.

"How can this be!"

"What a joke!" Within the Immortal Realm, the sound of cursing shook the Immortal Realm's barriers.

This person, so lacking in decorum, is not an ordinary cultivator, but a Celestial King who stands tall in the Celestial Realm and has existed since time immemorial!

At this moment, they disregarded all etiquette and sophistication.

It was just a simple rant.

The curses were not only directed at Xu He, but also at the injustice of Heaven and the Great Dao!
The Great Tribulation of the Immortal King has occurred, which means that Xu He was not actually an Immortal King before.

This means that someone has far surpassed them, and if he survives the Immortal King Tribulation, to what extent will his strength increase?

If he were to enter the Immortal Realm in the future, would he remove the title of "King" from everyone's titles and become the sole ruler?
Will he seek revenge in the future for the Immortal Realm's current indifference?

All of these are absolutely possible.

The Immortal Realm is not only divided between the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but also between the Immortal Kings within the realm.

If Xu He were to actually launch an attack one day, would he settle scores with them and eliminate them one by one?

Such an outcome seems easy for Xu He, who could fight to a standstill with a top-tier Immortal King even before reaching the Immortal King level.
Of course, if they stick together, they might have a chance to survive.

The problem is, what if they can't defeat Xu He even if they band together?

"Send reinforcements! Immediately send reinforcements to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!" At this moment, a Celestial King stepped forward, his voice tinged with fear.

A figure like Xu He could probably fight against a Celestial King giant once he breaks through.
Perhaps the giants within the Immortal Realm can protect them for a while, but they certainly cannot protect them forever!
In the future, Xu He's level will only be higher, and he may even surpass the giants, or even break through the king and become an emperor!

Would the giants of the Immortal Realm really be willing to offend such a powerful figure?
Are you really not going to hand over these Celestial Kings to appease Xu He's anger?
Nothing is impossible in this world, especially in the extremely divided Immortal Realm.

"If we rush to their aid now, is there really still a chance to salvage the relationship between our Immortal Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?" Another Immortal King asked.

The battle in the lower realm has been going on for a long time. Previously, it was as stable as Mount Tai. Now, going to provide assistance seems a bit too obvious, doesn't it?

"When did Panwang descend to the mortal realm?" At that moment, a surprised exclamation rang out.

Everyone looked up and saw that Pan Wang's figure had appeared in the lower realm and was fighting in the Imperial Pass.

Pan Wang was the Celestial King who had previously proposed sending reinforcements to the lower realm, but his proposal had consistently failed to gain everyone's approval. Ao Sheng even clashed fiercely with him, nearly coming to blows.

Such a person actually went down to the mortal realm to provide assistance.

At this moment, Ao Sheng felt a mix of emotions. He remembered that he had said before that if Pan Wang wanted to come to the aid of the lower realm, he would go himself.

"Do you still want to go down to the mortal realm?" At this moment, several Celestial Kings gathered around.

Two of them were Ao Sheng's right-hand men.

“Go,” Ao Sheng sighed. “His rise is inevitable. There’s no way such a person could fail to survive the Celestial King Tribulation.”

"However, adding flowers to brocade can never compare to providing charcoal in the snow."

Ao Sheng's meaning was also very clear.

He's an old monster, how could he not know what these immortal kings in the immortal realm are thinking?
They simply wanted to use the pretext of rushing to the aid of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to gain some kind of "favor" and establish some kind of relationship with Xu He.

But the problem is, in Xu He's eyes, aren't these people also a manifestation of power?

To be opportunistic and change course with the wind.

This kind of atmosphere has long existed among cultivators within the Immortal Realm.

Ao Sheng didn't know where Xu He was from, but someone who fought across the nine heavens and ten earths with such spirit could never be from the Immortal Realm.

I despise the fact that the Immortal Realm is opportunistic and its tendency to switch sides has become inevitable.

Therefore, Ao Sheng lamented that adding flowers to brocade is far less valuable than providing charcoal in the snow.

After this battle, perhaps those reasonable people like the Immortal King Wuzhong and the Immortal King Liudao Reincarnation will feel grateful to them.

But for Xu He, could their behavior be a form of atonement?

Whether he is reasonable or not remains to be seen.

Ao Sheng even felt a pang of regret, as he had previously made some remarks that were detrimental to Xu He.

If one day, this news were to reach Xu He's ears, then Xu He would truly hold a grudge against him.

What should he do?
Ao Sheng didn't dwell on it. At that moment, he began to call upon cultivators from the Immortal Realm to provide aid to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

In order to repair the relationship between the two parties.

He felt lost about the future.

But he knew that whether he went to help the lower realm or not, he would receive the appropriate answer in the future.

The gates to the Immortal Realm have been opened.

Several Immortal Kings, dozens of True Immortals, and hundreds of Supreme-level cultivators all mobilized.

This adds new unknowns and possibilities to the battle.

Xu He, on the other hand, has already begun his tribulation.

His sixth secret realm has not yet been fully opened, but he already has a plan.

In fact, if he were willing to reveal the sixth secret realm, the world would not suffer a great calamity.

But Xu He wanted to witness what it would feel like to be judged by all the great principles that have existed in the past and present.

Xu He ignored the frenzied An Lan below.
They simply walked towards the sky.

The golden avenue was paved, not by Xu He, but by the active Heaven and Earth Avenue making a devout kowtow.

With each step taken, the Golden Lotus of the Great Dao appears.

Each step is like a lotus blossom, stretching towards the high heavens.

Only the golden lotus shines brightly under the eternal blue sky.

"All living beings in heaven and earth, seeing me is seeing the Dao!"

Xu He's voice rang out, carrying an indescribable Daoist charm and supreme majesty. Even across billions of stars, one could feel his disdainful intent.

All of this was too terrifying, too awe-inspiring.

So much so that countless people prostrated themselves in worship at this moment.

"Seeing me is like seeing the Dao?" The Great Crimson Heavenly Lord swallowed deeply.

He truly felt something he had longed for from Xu He.

"The Dao Fruit of the Immortal King..." The Great Crimson Heavenly Lord had a premonition that witnessing Xu He ascend to the Immortal King realm today would also benefit him, and he would soon attain the Dao of the Immortal King as well.

The vast laws of the Great Dao descended from the heavens, sweeping down upon Xu He.

The endless laws of the Great Dao emerged.
At this moment, countless immortal kings could feel the familiarity of that Great Dao Law.

That was a great calamity they had survived, and they had been baptized by it.

However, Xu He's great tribulation involved more and more complete laws of the Great Dao, and its power was far greater.

The Great Tribulation of the Immortal Kings—everything from the past to the present, including the Immortal Kings who have appeared—is nothing more than a wooden beam in Xu He's towering building.

The Great Dao is boundless, and the runes are endless.

This momentum was so immense that even a Celestial King who had attained enlightenment long ago dared not touch it.

They had no idea that Xu He's ordeal would be so outrageous.

Xu He ascended towards the runes, his body's unified secret realm being interfered with by the golden light.

The five secret realms are all for oneself, and now that one has been baptized, one is completing the great leap of one's physical body from a mortal immortal to an immortal king.

A true pinnacle of achievement!
Destruction after destruction, rebirth after rebirth.

Xu He's figure grew taller and more imposing; even just his back view was enough to awe all.

"The first tribulation is over, and the Immortal King Body is here!" a cultivator exclaimed.

They knew that the minimum requirement for the Ten Ancient Fiends was to possess the body of an Immortal King.

However, Xu He's current strength has probably already surpassed most of the Ten Fiends.

They were unaware of the existence of the Old Man of Annihilation, and only speculated whether Xu He, if he had truly survived the Tribulation of the Immortal King, would surpass the Ten Fiends and even be fearless of any giant.

Before the second great tribulation had even begun, Xu He was already experiencing his current physical body.

He had a premonition that he could now torture and kill An Lan at will.

With this thought in mind, and on a whim, Xu He looked down at An Lan before the second great calamity descended.

A punch was suddenly thrown out.

The fist light appeared only for a moment, and the group of immortal kings and ten fierce beasts in the Great Crimson Heaven immediately fled.

They felt a sense of impending death.

An Lan originally wanted to fight back and prove that he was still invincible, but under the vast light of the fist, his body could not move at all.

The threat of death loomed over my mind.

The approaching fist light was already making his skin sting; he felt as if he were facing the Crimson King directly.

"no no!"

The majesty of the Immortal King made him want to stand tall, but the fear in his heart and the foreseeable scene of death forced him to howl:

"Yu Tuo, save me!"
