Can one attain eternal life within the cycle of reincarnation?
Although the group of immortal kings were certain that they would not perish, Xu He's promise greatly excited them.

Everyone knows that a major purge is coming in the near future.

This marks the end of an era.

Now, the dark creatures within the Boundary Sea are stirring, further indicating that a great reckoning is not far off.

"Meet the Emperor of Heaven!"

At this moment, all the Immortal Kings following closely behind Xu He bowed.

Faintly, the power of all living beings gathered around the Immortal King, incomparably pure and vast, converging towards Xu He.

In this way, a causal relationship was quickly established.

The Celestial King's voice was like the roar of creation, causing the seas in this area to tremble.

At the same time, the mysterious sounds of heaven and earth reappeared:
"Heaven, earth, spirits, and gods all worship the Heavenly Emperor!"

This time, the sound was so loud that every Celestial King could clearly feel it, and even thought it was exploding in their own minds.

"Take my essence and blood, and I will grant you eternal life," Xu He said to the group of immortal kings.

Although the group of immortal kings in front of Xu He had questions, they did not hesitate much and took out their own essence blood.

A surge of vitality manifested as several drops of Immortal King's essence blood coalesced into a ball and flew toward Xu He.

Xu He grabbed him and instantly threw him into the sea of ​​suffering.

The essence and blood transform into the seed of life, until it takes root in the sea of ​​suffering and grows into a tender sprout.

"May I ask the Heavenly Emperor, is reincarnation truly possible in this world?" a Celestial King asked.

Xu He said without hesitation, "Reincarnation may happen after several eras, or it may happen in the blink of an eye. Please continue on your journey."

What he said was true; the matter of reflection did indeed occur several eras later, but for the reincarnators within it, it might just be a momentary mental lapse.

After saying that, he continued walking into the depths of the Boundary Sea, leaving everyone with only a lonely figure.

Upon arriving in this new era, Xu He had no old friends and no attachments.

The monotonous scenery over the past century, in particular, always leaves people feeling disoriented and unable to discern directions.

Only bloody battles, only bloody battles, made Xu He feel alive.

……

Somewhere in the border sea.

A protracted war is still ongoing.

The waves around the border sea churned with the battle, and crimson and black blood splattered everywhere.

One after another, these small worlds were completely reduced to dust, sinking towards the bottom of the Boundary Sea.

"boom!"

A violent roar reverberated in all directions, and then an arm was mercilessly flung out.

Crimson blood splattered everywhere, and that blood actually condensed into a crimson glow in this area of ​​heaven and earth.

What's the point of struggling?

A cold voice rang out, and then a figure with a grim expression strode forward, riding the waves with each step.

Black blood flowed down the path of his feet, polluting the surrounding seawater.

Not far from him, a one-armed immortal king looked pained, and although blood was flowing continuously, he did not cry out.

"If my Lord were still alive, how could you be so arrogant!"

"A force that should have perished, a cultivator who should have died—so be it, then let me send you into reincarnation." The dark creature sneered, and attacked the one-armed Immortal King once more.

The Immortal King's expression turned cold, and he quickly turned and fled into the distance.

But as the waves drew ever closer from behind, their constant surging foreshadowed the inevitable end.

Unbeknownst to them, a dark aura enveloped them, and in a daze, the nameless immortal king felt an incomparably heavy death aura.

In his hazy vision, he saw one declining era after another.

Those were his old friends, his hometown.

"A final burst of energy before death?" The nameless immortal king's consciousness gradually faded. After struggling several times, he was powerless and finally stopped, awaiting his fate.

A bright white light flashed before his eyes.

He knew that perhaps a revolving door of fortune was about to begin.

The white light shone brighter and brighter, gradually enveloping everything.

The nameless immortal king waited for a long time, but there was no pain, only a deafening roar.

"boom!"

A sharp gust of wind swept in.

The nameless immortal king felt his long hair swaying in the strong wind, even experiencing a slight tearing pain in his scalp!
"This is……"

He suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise at the sight before him:

"A fist of light! I saw an unparalleled fist of light!"

The golden fist swept across the Boundary Sea with overwhelming force in an instant!

The Boundary Sea surged with terrifying waves, and countless shattered star fields were thrown into the sky, transforming into the stars hanging high in the heavens under the dazzling light of the fist.

Brilliant and dazzling.

Wherever the Emperor's Fist passed, the dark creature was blasted away across several star fields, half of its body pierced through.

"Who is this person?" The Nameless Immortal King swallowed hard, staring at the terrifying scene.

He had been hunted down for a long time before this.

After a battle, although the opponent was seriously injured, the fighter himself suffered a great loss.

Right now, the person who threw the punch actually shattered half of the dark creature's body with a single blow.

He looked toward the source of the fist light and saw a majestic figure walking from the other side of the sea. The aura he had accumulated was far superior to that of even a Celestial King.

Behind this imposing figure were more than ten figures exuding the aura of immortal kings.

Although it was their first meeting, the nameless immortal king inexplicably felt that these dozen or so immortal kings were all followers of the person at the forefront.

"Is that an Emperor?" the Nameless Immortal King murmured.

In his mind, it seemed that only emperors could have so many immortal kings following them.

"Who goes there!" The Dark Immortal King barely managed to steady himself and roared at Xu He.

The black aura surrounding it was now surging forth, about to envelop the heavens.

Looking at Xu He, he could always sense a repulsive aura, something he couldn't quite put his finger on.

"Your hands are stained with the blood of my clan's cultivators!"

Xu He's expression was cold: "I've encountered more than a dozen before, and I killed them casually."

His tone was incredibly arrogant, but all the Celestial Kings behind him knew that Xu He was really just describing something insignificant.

Since venturing deep into the Boundary Sea, Xu He has suppressed dark creatures on numerous occasions.

This led them to mistakenly believe that the dark creatures were merely putting on a show.

Although none of this was very likely, Xu He's performance gave them great confidence, so much so that when they encountered dark creatures later, some of them were willing to take a gamble.

As a result, severely injured and dying immortal kings appeared.

Afterwards, Xu He, who had single-handedly fought several dark creatures, used one hand to easily eliminate the dark creatures that had posed a threat to their lives.

At that time, these Celestial Kings were absolutely certain that Xu He had become stronger again.

He even felt that he was getting closer and closer to becoming the next King of Destruction.

"You bastards!" the dark creature roared, referring to the arrogant man before it as if he were addressing them by their heads. It saw the group of Celestial Kings behind Xu He and knew that today's outcome was fraught with peril.

Escape is out of the question; only a glorious battle can prove our invincibility.

The dark creature roared, unleashing boundless black energy that quickly filled the sea of ​​beings.

The next moment, he moved, countless black energies in his palm forming Dao runes, rushing towards Xu He.

At this moment, a sudden change occurs!
Xu He's body shone with an incomparably dazzling light, burning away the ridiculous black energy. At the same time, endless golden blood energy spread, causing the surrounding sea of ​​realms to shine!

Xu He did not take the initiative to defend, but the endless gale he generated actually made it difficult for the dark creature to advance any further!
"what!"

In the past, such a strike would have severely injured a top-tier Immortal King.

But now, they can't even get close to Xu He!

"What a joke!"

Xu He remained calm and composed. He slightly raised his hand, but this time he did not use the Emperor Fist. Instead, he condensed the Great Dao Laws in the Boundary Sea.

Endless Dao runes appeared, and the laws converged.

A sword of the Great Dao was actually formed in Xu He's hand.

He raised his hand, and the immense power of heaven and earth converged, making the golden sword even more sacred and glorious.

"not good!"

The dark creature's pupils constricted sharply, horrified.

In a short while, he wanted to get away and escape.

However, he was shocked to find that he could not extricate himself.

"No!" the dark creature roared.

The sword of the Great Dao suddenly fell, crashing into the sea like a mountain, creating endless waves.

The dark creature was cleanly and decisively cleaved in two from top to bottom.

Not a single drop of black blood flowed from his wound.

The once extremely dense dark matter was actually destroyed by the burning of the Great Dao Sword!

This sword strike not only annihilated the physical body, but also severed the primordial spirit.

The vast sword energy cleaved this world in two, leaving an endless abyss above the Boundary Sea.

Even the seawater cannot fill the gap in a short period of time.

"What a powerful sword strike!" the nameless immortal king said, swallowing hard.

He couldn't distinguish the others, but just that one sword strike was definitely the kind of combat power that only a supreme giant could display!

Only an unparalleled giant could so easily slay a dark being.

Xu He looked around at the surrounding sea and, seeing that he didn't need to purify the black blood a second time, nodded in satisfaction.

The Great Dao Sword he was holding tightly was also gradually dissipating.

Since the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Sword transcended its limitations, Xu He felt that something was missing.

Although I haven't carried a sword much in past battles, I really feel uncomfortable without one.

Thus, he conceived the idea of ​​forging another immortal sword.

He simply didn't want to use a sword of common sense; instead, he wanted to condense a celestial sword from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

It seems to be quite successful now.

“If you wish to leave the Boundary Sea, simply follow the path behind me to reach the dam,” Xu He said, turning his head to the nameless Immortal King.

We may have met by chance, but as long as we are enemies of dark creatures, there is a reason to lend a helping hand.

He, and even the Celestial King behind him, would do the same thing.

"Thank you, senior." The Nameless Immortal King regarded Xu He as some old monster and bowed to him.

Looking behind Xu He, he did not leave, but sat cross-legged in place, continuously repairing his own injuries.

Seeing that the Nameless Immortal King had no intention of leaving, Xu He didn't think much of it, nor did he want to interfere too much in other people's fates.

Just as they were about to move forward, one of the celestial kings finally couldn't contain his excitement:

"A single sword strike vanquishes the demon; it truly is a sword that cleaves the heavens!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several Immortal Kings in the crowd echoed his sentiments.

Originally, this was just a simple compliment, or rather, a flattery.

However, the two-character title in particular caught the attention of the Nameless Immortal King.

Xu He took a step forward, intending to head towards the center of the Boundary Sea.

A voice suddenly came from behind them:
"May I ask if you are a cultivator from my Immortal Realm, senior?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu He finally stopped in his tracks.

He turned around in surprise and looked at the nameless immortal king.

Could it be that we've actually found an old Immortal King from the Immortal Realm?
Along the way, Xu He encountered many Immortal Kings. However, in the myriad realms, it was impossible for all Immortal Kings to come from the Immortal Realm. Some were recruited, while others left the Boundary Sea in order to survive.

The nameless Immortal King before him was the first Immortal King Xu He had encountered since entering the Boundary Sea.

"Are you the former Immortal King of the Immortal Realm?" Xu He asked.

The old Immortal King of the Immortal Realm nodded silently, acknowledging his identity and stating that he had been lost in the Boundary Sea for too long and could no longer distinguish the years.

"What day is this? I never expected that the Immortal Realm would change its ruler again," the old Immortal King of the Immortal Realm sighed.

He once followed a peerless genius who could be considered to have overpowered all others, and could even be in charge in the immortal realm where heroes gathered.

Now, someone claims to be the Heavenly Emperor, and is followed by so many Immortal Kings. It seems that only the Lord of the Immortal Realm can do this.

"Fellow Daoist, would you like to return to the Immortal Realm? I can work with the cultivators of the Immortal Realm to build a divine bridge to guide you." Knowing the other party's identity, Xu He was no longer as cold as before, but became friendly.

"Several eras have passed, and everything has changed beyond recognition." The old Immortal King of the Immortal Realm sighed, the disappointment in his eyes replaced by a sense of loss, before speaking to Xu He:
“Heavenly Emperor, I am not the only immortal cultivator here.”

He pointed to the depths of the boundary sea:

"Before coming here, I was with some old friends, but we were hunted by dark creatures and were separated."

He spoke with a hint of helplessness.

In the past, when they fought alongside the Lord of the Immortal Realm, there was also a riot by dark creatures in the Boundary Sea that broke their formation. Unexpectedly, it happened again this time.

"I don't know what's going on lately, but the dark creatures in the Boundary Sea have become more and more active. In the past, we might not encounter even one every few thousand years, but now they appear frequently."

"It's alright." Xu He waved his hand. He didn't care about the so-called dark creatures. In fact, he was a little excited. After all, his goal of guiding the old Immortal King of the Immortal Realm could finally be achieved temporarily.

The border sea shimmered with fluorescent light.

Although Xu He did not know the exact location of those Immortal Kings, he still calmly sensed the fluctuations of the Boundary Sea.

The battle between the Immortal Kings could stir up monstrous waves in the Boundary Sea, and the effects could be transmitted even from a great distance. Although the effect was extremely subtle, it was still keenly detected by Xu He.

As a strange aura appeared, he opened his eyes.

Having fought the supernatural several times, he wouldn't mistake it.

"Found it." Xu He strode toward the source of the aura.

As soon as he took a step, all the Celestial Kings behind him moved as well.

"Speaking of which, why did you and those lost Immortal Kings venture deep into the Boundary Sea?" Xu He suddenly asked.

After all, there are many Immortal Kings who seek to break through to become Emperors, and many Immortal Kings who venture deep into the Boundary Sea, but there are very few who venture deep in groups.

"We came here to quell the rebellion, following the Lord of Heaven," said the old Immortal King of the Immortal Realm.
