The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

The vibrant life and flourishing of all things described in Chapter 154 are still vivid in my mind.
Such a bizarre change naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Some ordinary Immortal Kings looked up at the starry sky. The two figures were so tall and majestic that even the slightest aura they exuded was enough to make them tremble with fear.

"Are we really cultivators of the same realm?" A common Immortal King fell into deep doubt.

"Can such a person really be born in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?" A Celestial King from a Celestial Realm looked up at the sky with deep fear.

Fortunately, they came to our aid. What would have happened if they had actually been sent to the Immortal Realm for a "discussion" and "reckoning"?
The Celestial Kings were truly terrified of Xu He's strength; for a long time, they had looked down on the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Although Xu He is undoubtedly a future cultivator, he has never denied being a cultivator of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths when questioned by the Immortal King of the Otherworld.

In addition, there is the combat power that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have demonstrated so far.

They couldn't help but ask questions, doubt, and reflect.

Who exactly is the lower realm?
The situation in the other realms was even more gloomy. Their strongest man, Kundi, might not be able to defeat Xu He, at least in their eyes it would take a lot of time.

However, the allied forces of the Immortal Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have already gained the upper hand.

One wrong move and we could very well repeat the tragedy of being bloodied by the ancient immortal realm.

"Cheer up!" the Red King shouted.

The duel between the two Immortal Kings has long since transcended the Imperial Pass; battles between Immortal Kings have erupted throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and even in other realms.

However, the demoralized morale is already spreading among the Immortal Kings. If this continues, and even one person is afraid of death, it will lead to the collapse of the entire battle line, and even the cultivators in the alien realm will be affected and unable to resist.

After all eternity, he, the Red King, will be a sinner.

"Before the Imperial Pass, there were three great battles between the two realms. The rights and wrongs, the victories and the defeats, are difficult to judge." Taking advantage of a lull in the attack, the Crimson King spoke to the group of immortal kings beside him:
"I don't understand why everyone is talking about the Ancient Immortal Realm learning from our world, as if this Imperial Pass Abyss is destined to be more dangerous than safe for us."

"Eternity ago, I ordered an attack on the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and we won two minor victories. Although the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths held their line, they paid a heavy price! We returned in triumph, and the people welcomed us with open arms. We truly had the advantage of perfect timing!"

The Crimson King's gaze swept over everyone, wanting to reignite their fighting spirit and unleash the absolute power of the Immortal King!

He loudly said:

"That vibrant scene of life, where everything flourishes, is still vivid in my mind!"

"In just tens of thousands of years, has this place truly become my final resting place?"

The Red King grew increasingly agitated, and his voice became more and more impassioned:
"No matter what, the advantage is mine!"

The Crimson King's voice resonated out, greatly inspiring every Immortal King present.

Their fighting spirit was reignited; there was no way to retreat, only to fight with their backs to the wall.

Another fierce battle broke out below, and the Imperial Pass was destroyed.

Meanwhile, in the starry sky, Kun Di, who had just had a preliminary exchange with Xu He, had roughly figured out his strength.

"You have such strength even before reaching the supreme level. Someone like you should have a name." Cultivators like them all have a name when they walk among the mortal world.

On the one hand, it can demonstrate strength, and on the other hand, it can showcase the ambition to encompass the world and punish all under heaven.

As if to be more appropriate, Kundal gave an example:
"Just like An Lan, his grand pronouncements are too numerous to mention..."

Xu He naturally understood what Kundi meant.

In fact, the current immortal kings, such as Anlan, Yutuo, Chiwang, and Kundi, are not their real names. Their real names are very long, and what they show now is partly for the convenience of walking in the human world, and partly to demonstrate their ambition.

"You may call me the Heavenly Emperor."

Emperor of Heaven?

Xu He's voice resounded throughout the four seas and eight wastelands, shaking the four seas and five continents.

Kundi frowned slightly; such a title was truly unprecedented.

One character is called "Heaven," which already implies supreme, while the other is directly referred to as "Emperor."
"What a grand ambition!" Kundi exclaimed in amazement. He also harbored ambitions to become emperor, but ultimately did not do so directly. Instead, he chose the homophone "Di" because he knew that the owner of the ancient artifact might be the true emperor.

Xu He's audacity in calling himself the Heavenly Emperor is truly remarkable.

"Aren't you afraid of incurring great karmic consequences by adopting such a title?" Kundi, knowing of the Emperor's existence, asked curiously.

Xu He shook his head:

"I do not call myself that, but I am revered by all races!"

"As for your so-called cause and effect?"

"All causes and effects have befallen me!"

Xu He's aura surged forth, truly possessing the imposing presence of an emperor among immortals, to the point that even supreme beings and true immortals knelt and kowtowed to him.

Even cultivators at the Immortal King level wanted to submit to Xu He.

Its power was so immense that cultivators from the Immortal Realm and other realms wanted to submit to it.

This has nothing to do with stance; it's simply the intimidation of power.

"God!"

"The Emperor of Heaven is unparalleled!"

"Supreme Heavenly Emperor, please protect all living beings with one hand!"

One call after another transformed into a thunderous roar, sweeping across the world with overwhelming force.

This was a shout from cultivators of the Immortal Realm and cultivators of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, its sound shaking the heavens and earth, to the point that some cultivators from other realms could hardly contain their emotions.

At this moment, the boundless thoughts of all living beings began to converge, transforming into a sky full of starlight.

The moment the starlight appeared, Liu Shen was startled.

Such pure energy was something she had never been worshipped in this way.

The power of sentient beings' thoughts was so vast and pure that Xu He immediately realized it was of a higher quality than any other sentient beings' thoughts he had ever encountered.

Seeing this, Kundi shook his head and sighed.

He knew that even if he tried his best to take it down today, there was no way to succeed.

"That's it, we have no choice but to stop," Kundi sighed.

Below, a Celestial King-level cultivator shouted:
"Now that you're in a weak position, you think you can just leave?"

Faced with wave after wave of condemnation, Kundi merely raised an eyebrow: "If it were just me alone, perhaps I couldn't reconcile this war, but what if there's another person?"

As soon as Kundi finished speaking, an aura no less powerful than Kundi's began to ripple from the depths of the foreign land.

A figure appeared, which was thousands of miles away a moment ago, and appeared in front of everyone the next moment.

The appearance of this figure caused countless immortal kings within the alien realm to shout with excitement:

"Who is that person? Is he another ancestor from our realm?"

“I know him, I know him. Legend has it that he is the only immortal king in our realm who is not under the command of Senior Kundi, and his strength has long been unparalleled.”

The Red King recognized the newcomer at that moment and was about to say his name when someone beat him to it.

"No sorrow," Xu He said coldly.

"That An Lan is truly hopeless; all my efforts to treat him back then were completely wasted." Wu Shang, wielding his bronze halberd, continued, "He was utterly humiliated by a junior..."

"All the cultivation over the ages has been wasted on dogs."

"And all you do is bark like a dog all day long, 'The king cannot be humiliated! The king cannot be humiliated!'"

"Useless!" Wu Shang's entrance was incredibly domineering. He not only looked down on Xu He, but also gave An Lan a scathing critique.

Of course, none of the people from the alien world felt that there was anything wrong with criticizing An Lan, after all, the person in front of them was a strong person who was second to none in the alien world.

"You junior, since you know my name, how dare you act like this?"

Wu Shang was extremely dissatisfied with Xu He's indifference.

"Be careful, this person is extremely strange, and may not be the real body," Kundi warned, frowning.

He was familiar with Wu Shang and knew that Wu Shang's character was not much different from An Lan's, except that Wu Shang's strength was extraordinary.

“There’s no need to continue fighting. I can sense that the great purge is coming soon.” Kundi secretly transmitted his voice to Wushang: “The Butcher and those people from the Immortal Realm probably won’t miss this opportunity…”

"It will be very troublesome at that time."

"Why go through all that trouble?" Wu Shang's face was grim as he pointed his bronze halberd at Xu He and said, "Why don't I just kill him before the Butcher and his men arrive?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Shang's figure disappeared from the spot and reappeared in front of Xu He the next moment.

The bronze halberd, carrying immense force, slashed down fiercely from above Xu He's head.

The shockwave from the halberd swept across the universe in an instant, shattering a series of stars behind Xu He.

A gruesome wound appeared.

The cultivators in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the Immortal Realm, felt a chill run down their spines.

Kundi's expression remained solemn.

Wu Shang originally intended to mock and ridicule Kun Di, but unexpectedly, Xu He, who was so badly injured, didn't even lift his eyelids.

The next moment, Xu He's body transformed into immortal flames, continuously scorching the void. Wu Shang frowned and silently retracted his bronze halberd.

Until Xu He's body burned to ashes and turned into nothingness.

As everyone was bewildered, the void was suddenly torn apart, and a long, white hand reached out, from which Xu He's figure emerged.

"Immortal Flame Avatar?"

The leader of the Celestial Phoenix Clan exclaimed in surprise.

This is a secret technique originating from the Celestial Phoenix Clan, almost comparable to the Nirvana Technique.

The reason is simple: this clone formed from the immortal fire can change its position at any time to withstand a certain fatal injury.

This is also why the Celestial Phoenix Clan has been able to rank among the top ten fierce clans for so long.

However, the leader of the Celestial Phoenix Clan never expected that Xu He would be so familiar with their clan's secret techniques.

It seems that he has already surpassed himself.

By this time, how could the leader of the Celestial Phoenix not see that Xu He was a human? But Xu He's series of actions always made him wonder who the Celestial Phoenix really was.

"If I have the chance, I must try to curry favor with them," the leader of the Celestial Phoenix Clan murmured.

If you think he would be disdainful, the problem is that you have to be selective about who you flatter.

Even the most aloof and upright people, such as Hai Rui, would speak frankly and respectfully to Jiajing, though they might have some reservations.

The leader of the Immortal Phoenix Clan was not ashamed of his thoughts at all. Although he was among the Ten Fiends and the Immortal Phoenix Clan was incomparably powerful, there were still too many cultivators of the same level in this world. If he could ride on the fast train of the Heavenly Emperor, it would definitely be the key to the Immortal Phoenix Clan's rise!

Kundi had already spoken very tactfully, but seeing that Wushang remained unmoved, he revealed a trace of his true power: "The Origin Artifact is in my hands. One day, I can break through the King and become the Emperor and make a comeback."

"Do you really want to fight to the death with an avatar?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Shang's imposing aura subsided, and the desire to break through to the throne and become emperor became more important than anything else.

"What about them?"

Wu Shang transmitted his voice, referring naturally to the ordinary Immortal Kings below.

No matter the time, Immortal King level powerhouses will always be the backbone. With Immortal King cultivators around, they can play their game with peace of mind. Therefore, the fall of an Immortal King will surely make them feel heartbroken, and no one wants to be left with no one to rely on.

“I have already preserved their essence and blood. As long as we can collect their primordial spirits, we can revive them one day using the supreme elixir.”

After careful consideration, Wu Shang finally gave up the idea of ​​staying behind to cover the rear.

For the two of them, leaving was an extremely simple matter.

But clearly, the objective cannot be so explicit.

No one knows what the two Immortal Kings talked about. They only saw Xu He swing his Emperor Fist first, and then another earth-shattering battle broke out. On the battlefield below, the battle between the Immortal King and the Immortal King also began.

The slightest fluctuations from the two battlefields caused the entire world to tremble.

The road is almost obliterated.

It should be noted that this is not the Great Dao of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths where Xu He previously resided. The Great Dao here is perfect, stable, and complete, making it virtually impossible to erase it.

Now, this protracted and shocking war has truly eroded the Great Way.

For a moment, countless onlookers were somewhat astonished.

At the same time, many people know that in the near future, the Boundary Sea may face a formidable opponent.

The war in the stars has ended.

Kun Di and Wu Shang had already disappeared without a trace; only Xu He came out.

Of course, his white clothes were already tattered like strips of cloth, and blood was splattered across the starry sky, a shocking sight.

"Could it be that he really killed two lords all by himself?" an Immortal King asked incredulously.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and even the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Realm, all showed expressions of shock.

Xu He remained silent, his eyes filled with indescribable emotions.

He was indeed fighting for his life in that battle, just like the two Immortal Kings did at the beginning, which made it difficult for him to move.

However, Xu He did not give up on this battle to hone himself and test his effectiveness, but the two immortal kings did not seem to want to be seriously injured because of it.

So, both of them chose to flee far away.

Perhaps from their perspective, everything is understandable. After all, with the ancient artifacts of origin, the Immortal King can eventually "mass produce" them.

Xu He looked down at the Immortal Kings fighting fiercely below. Although he felt no pity, he was still unwilling to tell them about their leader's betrayal of his teammates.

Too cruel.

"Let them handle it themselves," Xu He said, trying his best to suppress the injuries of the two almost supreme giants. He knew that the cultivators of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths needed to vent their anger.

He looked down at the battlefield. Apart from a few giants who had been taken away, all the other immortal kings had been abandoned.

The outcome of this battle is already clear and will not change.

As the great battle progressed, some immortal kings came to understand everything, roaring to the heavens and denouncing the injustice, while others cursed Kundi and Wushang.

Finally, the foreign land was conquered.

Due to the different laws, few dared to enter the alien realm, but they almost slaughtered all their immortal kings.

Xu He also took this opportunity to destroy all the remaining immortal kings' primordial spirits, preventing Kundi from having the chance to revive them.

An absolute victory washed away the humiliation that had lingered for tens of thousands of years.
