The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 161 Fierce Battle in the Boundary Sea: An Opportunity to Become an Emperor!

Xu He paused, a look of shock finally appearing on his face:

"Are you former generals of the Heavenly Court from the era of the Fallen Emperor?"

Xu He knew that the Heavenly Court had appeared several times in history. The exact year of the oldest Heavenly Court was impossible to verify, but Xu He knew that this era was much older than the era of the Fallen Emperors.

The ruler of the Heavenly Court was the Azure Emperor, but he was so focused on becoming an emperor that he was unfortunately corrupted by the darkness deep within the Boundary Sea and became part of the darkness and turmoil.

The Heavenly Court founded by the Azure Emperor, and its followers were also sacrificed to the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

Therefore, only the Heavenly Court of the Fallen Emperor era existed.

The Heavenly Court of the Fallen Emperor era should have been created by those who founded the Immortal Realm, including the Butcher's ancestor.

However, this once-prosperous Heavenly Court suffered a bizarre and insane reprisal and invasion, ultimately leading to its destruction.

Logically speaking, only the butcher's ancestor and the World Tree woman's ancestor with golden wings on their backs survived.

But what about the Heavenly Court's generals in this era of imperial decline?

"The era of the fallen emperors?" The old immortal king of the immortal realm was somewhat puzzled. After a long while, he said, "Before we went deep into the sea of ​​boundaries, an emperor did indeed fall. That emperor left a line of footprints on the dam."

"No... my memory seems to be missing... is it because I've been in the Boundary Sea for too long?" The old immortal king showed a pained expression.

Xu He waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to think about it anymore.

Having received the answer, Xu He became even more certain that these were the Heavenly Court's followers from the era of the Fallen Emperor.

Ultimately, Xu He could only attribute this special situation to a blank period, which is the mystery of the era of the fallen emperor, and no one could trace its beginning and end.

Even Qi Yu, who survived from that era, might not know this.

"Maybe……"

Xu He's eyes gleamed.

He deduced a result.

The Heavenly Court was founded by the Azure Emperor, who therefore harbors murderous intent towards all his successors who founded it. There is a saying that "the Heavenly Court should not be established."

The Heavenly Court during the era of the Fallen Emperors was founded by several supreme giants, who all led their people to the Boundary Sea.

However, none of them were able to return.

The inability to return does not necessarily mean they have truly perished!
The butcher's ancestor, as well as the World Tree woman's ancestor with golden wings on her back, did not participate in that battle.

Having escaped the consequences, they were able to survive.

"If any of those supreme giants are still alive..." Xu He muttered to himself.

"I can sense that the time for King Po Wang Cheng Di (the future emperor) is not far off."

Xu He's gaze grew increasingly resolute as he walked deeper into the Boundary Sea, intending to guide the giants of the Ancient Heavenly Court back to the world.

Golden light shone brightly across the sky, and golden blood energy began to permeate the air.

At this moment, he no longer hid anything.

He wanted a life-or-death battle, a battle where he would fight with all his might and reach the pinnacle of power, to break through the king and become an emperor!
Boundless blood energy spread out, and a faint imperial aura truly emerged, making even the Immortal King want to kneel and submit.

The golden aura was still spreading. The golden light that had previously shone only illuminated one area, but now it truly had the power to envelop the entire sea of ​​boundaries.

……

Deep in the border sea.

Almost simultaneously, the Crimson King, the Demon King, Kundi, and Wushang all sensed this blood energy.

They will never forget it.

"I never expected him to come looking for his death," said the Demon King Pu, his face icy cold.

He still vividly remembered what happened last time; the destruction of the alien realm made him want to kill Xu He day and night.

"Something's not right. This blood energy... there's a faint trace of imperial might within it? It's really moving closer to those lords!"

"The Red King exclaimed in surprise."

He had once exchanged a fragment of the Imperial Scripture with those officials, so he naturally knew the power of this imperial might.

That was true dominance, invincible in heaven and earth, unmatched throughout history and the future.

His domineering and arrogant manner was beyond the reach of ordinary immortal kings.

It's almost beyond the level of a king.

"Hmph... He wants to break the throne of Emperor Wang, and even wants to use us to personally help him break the throne of Emperor Wang," Kun Di sneered.

"What, do you want to break through in a glorious battle?" Wu Shang also spoke up at this moment:
"If he's in the Boundary Sea, then this means it's not a conspiracy from the Immortal Realm... Hehehehehe, then let's not waste any more time and go meet him."

After saying this, Wu Shang took a step and disappeared completely from the spot.

These immortal kings all knew that he had not been satisfied with the last ultimate battle.

In some ways, Wu Shang was the most warlike of the group.

……

The pervasive blood aura emanating from Xu He's location had already attracted the attention of countless dark creatures.

At this moment, countless dark creatures are converging on this place.

But without a doubt, their appearance lasted only a moment before they were suppressed.

Xu He was surrounded by a dozen or so Celestial Kings who protected him, and no dark creatures could get close.

Even a giant-level dark being is no match for Xu He in his ultimate state.

Xu He's blood energy grew increasingly dense, eventually transforming into a vast ocean that gradually covered the entire boundary sea, with the sound of waves echoing out.

At that moment, he sensed the presence of several uninvited guests.

He quickly strode forward.

Within the Dark Sea, Wu Shang appeared first.

Immediately afterwards, the Demon King, the Red King, and Kundi appeared.

Moreover, some mysterious creatures within the Boundary Sea sensed the blood energy and, taking it as a guide, rushed over.

One of them held a yellow gourd and appeared extremely indifferent.

This man was named Qu Zhong. If Xu He hadn't interfered, he would have almost single-handedly destroyed half of the burial ground in later generations.

Although he had no grudges against Xu He at this moment, his strong curiosity still drew him to this place.

"So many giants! Such a scene is truly rare." Xu He sneered as he watched the Immortal Kings and Fallen Immortal Kings continuously gathering.

"If you had broken through to become an emperor within the Immortal Realm, we might not have intervened and would have let you fend for yourself," the Crimson King said with a sinister smile.

Upon hearing this, Xu He raised an eyebrow and said:

"In the end, it's all because they're afraid."

"If you are truly not afraid, take a step forward alone and see who enters the cycle of reincarnation first."

Xu He's voice echoed in all directions, quite unrestrained, yet undoubtedly the best response to this giant.

The Crimson King's expression grew increasingly cold. After hesitating for a long time, just as he was about to take a step for the sake of his face and dignity, Wu Shang stopped him.

"We didn't have enough fun last time, let's try again this time."

As soon as Wu Shang finished speaking, he pounced on Xu He.

Xu He was not afraid at all and threw a punch to meet the attack.

He knew that Wu Shang's approach was similar to overcoming all obstacles with sheer force.

In such a close contest, it all comes down to who has the greater strength.

The two supreme giants clashed, and before they could even exchange a single blow, an explosion was heard. The sea of ​​realms where they were located was obliterated at that moment, and countless waves surged and rushed into the sky.

At that very moment, a celestial blade flew in from who knows where. At first, it was only the size of a thread, but in an instant, it swelled up to be as majestic as a mountain.

A heavenly blade slashed down towards Xu He.

While fighting Wu Shang, Xu He unexpectedly freed up a hand and suddenly threw a punch at Tian Dao.

The brilliant golden light illuminated the starry sky in an instant.

Countless Immortal Kings felt their eyes light up. They were horrified; even Immortal Kings could not witness such a conflict. It seemed that Xu He was truly not far from breaking through to become an Emperor.

"boom!"

A crisp voice sounded.

The Heavenly Blade that had ambushed Xu He cracked under this punch, then shattered, with countless fragments transforming into a rain of light that shot out in all directions.

The shower of light added a touch of splendor to the already magnificent Boundary Sea.

However, this scene was extremely ominous for the immortal kings, fallen immortal kings, and dark beings.

"A sneak attack? I've encountered that countless times in the Supreme Realm..." Xu He looked coldly at the Immortal King who had ambushed him in the darkness.

"What kind of damned Blade King is he? He's not even as good as the opponents I've faced in the Supreme Realm."

"Youngster! How arrogant!"

The owner of the gleaming Heavenly Blade roared.

He, a dignified Immortal King, was described by Xu He as being inferior to a Supreme Being, which was undoubtedly the greatest insult to him.

But the next moment, Xu He's figure disappeared from the spot.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind the Sword King!
Before the Sword King could even turn around, a brilliant golden light erupted behind him.

The Blade King's pupils suddenly contracted, and the next moment, a sharp pain spread from his chest throughout his limbs and bones.

Xu He's punch pierced through the body he was so proud of!
"No!"

The Sword King was terrified and quickly turned and fled.

At that moment, he truly felt the threat of death.

That was just one punch!

Below, the Immortal Kings who were fighting against the dark creatures were equally horrified. Putting aside everything else, just considering the sword king's sneak attack, very few of them could withstand it.

What's more, it severely injured the Blade King with a single blow?
What kind of immense power is this?
As the Sword King fled, Xu He did not rashly pursue him, but instead pounced on the Demon King Pu.

For no other reason than Xu He simply believed that he was the easiest to control.

After all, if everything goes smoothly, of these four immortal kings, only the Demon King Pu will truly perish.

A vast and overwhelming pressure swept over, like the wrath of the heavens.

The golden blood energy was as vast as waves of wheat, and it had somehow managed to overwhelm this boundary sea.

Even in this vast and boundless boundary sea, it occupies a large area.

As a result, it can be clearly observed by the outside world.

Immortal Realm

Qi Yu was originally trying to comprehend the Great Dao and find an opportunity to break through the King and become an Emperor.

However, when he looked up by chance, he saw that the once magnificent Boundary Sea had turned an unusually golden color in a certain place, as if it were shrouded by something.

Within the Immortal Realm, even Immortal Kings voiced their doubts:

"what is that?"

"Is this the first time such a change has occurred in the Boundary Sea in all these years?"

"Something's not right..." Ao Sheng stared at the golden area, muttering to himself, "This golden color always reminds me of someone..."

"Holy crap, could that be blood energy?" someone shouted.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

At this moment, countless cultivators from the Immortal Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths all turned their attention to that area.

"Golden blood aura... it's undoubtedly the Heavenly Emperor!"

"That's right, it's the Heavenly Emperor!"

"Did the Heavenly Emperor cause a great disturbance in the Boundary Sea?"

One questioning voice after another was heard.

Someone interrupted the crowd, saying:
"Such a sudden change must be due to the Heavenly Emperor being engaged in a fierce battle!"

Upon hearing this, everyone belatedly realized that the previous battle between the Heavenly Emperor and the Immortal King was nothing more than a punch that unleashed golden light.

This time, the dense blood energy enveloped an entire boundary sea.

This illustrates two points.

First, the Heavenly Emperor has become stronger again.

Because a powerful figure in the Immortal Realm once frankly admitted that he simply couldn't accomplish such a feat with his blood energy.

Secondly, the Heavenly Emperor encountered an extremely powerful enemy.

This is easy to understand, after all, the Boundary Sea is the stronghold of dark creatures, and going deeper will inevitably lead to encountering extremely powerful dark creatures.

Another one,
Everyone still remembers that in that battle against the alien realm, the four most powerful immortal kings, Kundi, Wushang, Pumowang, and Chiwang, all fled.

The location is the border sea.

The Heavenly Emperor may be unparalleled, but if he were to encounter powerful dark beings one after another, and then have to fight against so many immortal kings, he would probably find it difficult to cope.

"No, we must rush to the Heavenly Emperor's aid!" Qi Yu immediately rushed out of the Immortal Realm, declaring this to both realms:

"Those above the highest level, follow me."

As soon as Qi Yu finished speaking, he began to construct a portal. Although it could not directly reach Xu He's location, it could reach the Boundary Sea, leaving plenty of time.

As for entering the Boundary Sea, although there is a possibility of getting lost, at least Xu He's blood essence will serve as a guide.

"Keep this safe. If anything unexpected happens, we'll rush back as soon as possible." With some concerns, Qi Yu handed a bronze door to one of the giants who remained in the Immortal Realm.

In critical moments, they can be brought back.

This reinforcement force, composed of top-tier Immortal Kings, Immortal King giants, and supreme giants, quickly assembled.

Among them were the Immortal King Wuzhong and the Immortal King Liudao Lunhui.

The group then set off for the Boundary Sea in a grand procession.

Deep in the border sea,

The battle between the two sides has reached a fever pitch.

Xu He's body was covered in blood.

Of course, it was mostly the blood of several other immortal kings.

Of course, his situation was far from pleasant.

Currently, more and more fallen immortal kings are starting to target him, a large portion of whom were previously hiding within the Boundary Sea, silently watching him.

Not everyone is noble, nor does everyone have the desire to save the world.

Most of these people have lived for countless years, and their emotions and desires have long since faded away with time.

Cultivation, cultivation, and more cultivation; longevity, longevity, and more longevity.

Anything else is utter bullshit.

They even ridiculed those who had a broad vision, believing that they had not been around long enough and had not seen enough.

Their current move is undoubtedly aimed at getting a share of the pie.

Because Xu He's rise was too dazzling.

He inexplicably appeared in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and before becoming a Celestial King, he slew a Celestial King.

Becoming a Celestial King is a significant step into the ranks of giants.

That battle was fought only a thousand years ago, right?
It is already no weaker than the supreme giant.

Without a doubt, in everyone's eyes, Xu He was the one who could break through the King and become an Emperor.

Killing such a person would be a glorious achievement.

If they could obtain his essence and taste its origin, their lives might take a leap forward.
