Perfection: The Eastern Emperor Bell manifests, I am the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 9

At a command, the Chaos Bell rang out with a thunderous roar, and a beam of dark golden light, condensed to the extreme, tore through the void, ignoring the distance of time and space, and instantly disappeared into the depths of the Boundary Sea's mist!

"Roar--!"

From the depths of the Boundary Sea came a roar filled with pain!

That faint dark fluctuation instantly dissipated!

It was faintly visible that wherever the golden light passed, the mist in a small area of ​​the Boundary Sea was forcibly dispersed.

It revealed the distorted void behind it, as well as a trace of the dark origin aura that had been instantly purified!
one strike!
Across the endless sea of ​​boundaries, they annihilated a dark being that attempted to covet the Immortal Realm!

The Chaos Bell trembled slightly, withdrew its golden light, then shrank and disappeared into Lu Xuan's body.

He still stood on the edge of the boundary sea, his clothes fluttering, as if he had done something insignificant.

However, the entire Immortal Realm was deathly silent.

All the Celestial Kings who witnessed this scene, including Qingmu and Qingwei who were right next to them, stood frozen in place, like clay sculptures or wooden statues.

They sensed the terrifying aura of the dark creatures in the Boundary Sea; they were definitely no weaker than Immortal Kings!
I felt an even more despairing sense of oppression from the Boundary Sea itself!

But Lu Xuan… his seemingly casual strike across the endless sea of ​​boundaries actually…

What incredible strength!
What kind of extraordinary object is that bell?!
Fear, shock, disbelief... a flood of emotions overwhelmed all the Celestial Kings.

Lu Xuan slowly turned around, his gaze seemingly sweeping over every corner of the Immortal Realm, his calm voice booming like thunder in the hearts of every Immortal King:

"If I encounter an enemy from the Boundary Sea, I will take action."

"As for the interior of the Immortal Realm..."

His voice suddenly turned cold, carrying a chill that seemed to freeze one's very soul:
"Be law-abiding and keep to yourself, and you will be safe."

"If anyone acts recklessly, they will be just like this scoundrel!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward, and his figure disappeared, returning to the Golden Crow Ancestral Court.

The kings of the Immortal Realm were left behind, savoring the undeniable warning in those words amidst endless silence.

At this moment, no one dared to mention the position of Dharma Protector King anymore, and no one dared to have any ulterior motives.

In the face of absolute power, all scheming and plotting seem utterly ridiculous.

Golden Crow Immortal King Lu Xuan, with his domineering and unparalleled strength, declared his way of existence to the entire Immortal Realm—he is the rule!
Lu Xuan's attack from afar, annihilating the dark creatures at the edge of the Boundary Sea, still seemed to echo in the hearts of the kings of the Immortal Realm, bringing endless shock.

In a secluded and unknown place in the Immortal Realm, within a dojo that seemed to transcend the passage of time and was eternally silent, a figure slowly opened his eyes.

He was enveloped in a hazy aura, his aura ancient and profound, as if he were a symbol of the end and destiny of all things.

It is none other than the Immortal King Wuzhong!

The earth-shattering scene at the edge of the boundary sea was clearly reflected in his eyes, which seemed to see through the cycles of eternity.

Unlike the fear and apprehension of other Celestial Kings.

A look of extreme surprise flashed in the eyes of the Immortal King Wuzhong.

Immediately, it transformed into an even stronger appreciation and fervor.

"What a magnificent bell! What a remarkable Lu Xuan!"

The Immortal King Wuzhong murmured to himself, his voice carrying a peculiar rhythm, as if it could stir ripples in time.

"To be able to so easily mobilize the power of chaos, precisely lock onto and annihilate a dark projection across the endless sea of ​​boundaries... Such power is beyond the capabilities of an ordinary Immortal King. Its potential far surpasses that of the likes of Ao Sheng by hundreds or thousands of times!"

He had been paying attention to Lu Xuan's ability to kill three Immortal Kings, but at that time he regarded him more as a powerful Immortal King with formidable strength.

But that attack just now allowed him to see something deeper—absolute control over power, an understanding of the essence of chaos, and the supreme Daoist charm contained in that bell that transcends the comprehension of the Immortal Realm!

"How can we allow such a person to wander outside, or even become an enemy?"

A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Immortal King Wuzhong.

"The turmoil in the Boundary Sea is intensifying, and the source of darkness is stirring. A great calamity is inevitable in the future. The current Immortal Kings of the Immortal Realm are more than capable of maintaining the status quo than of making progress, and are ill-suited for great responsibilities. This Lu Xuan is decisive in killing, has boundless potential, and possesses such a supreme treasure. If we can truly win him over to the Primordial Ancient Realm, then those people from other realms will be no threat!"

His desire to win them over became stronger than ever before.

This is no longer simply about avoiding conflict or using its power, but about truly seeing the potential within Lu Xuan to change the primordial ancient world!
At the same time, the myriad races of the Immortal Realm were plunged into even deeper turmoil by that brief yet shocking scene at the edge of the Boundary Sea.

Within the ancestral land of the Golden Crow, after a brief period of deathly silence, came a fervor and pride as intense as a volcanic eruption!

"The Immortal King's divine might! The Immortal King's divine might!" A young Golden Crow warrior excitedly revealed part of his original form, his wings burning with flames, and roared to the sky.

"To strike across the sea and annihilate the creatures of darkness! What a heaven-defying feat! With such a king, how can our race not prosper!"

Tears streamed down the Jinqing clan elder's face, his body trembling slightly with excitement. He seemed to see the glory of the Jinwu clan during the reign of the Heavenly Emperor, which was being recreated in the hands of this new king!
The faith and loyalty of all the Golden Crow people reached their peak at this moment.

Lu Xuan is not only their benefactor who saved them from dire straits, but also their supreme leader who leads them to unparalleled glory!
The other races and forces in the Immortal Realm, after the initial extreme shock, fell into great fear and complete submission.

Those clans that had dealings with the forces under the three Immortal Kings, Ao Sheng, Tai Shi, and Yuan Chu, and even secretly coveted the Golden Crow Clan's heritage.

They were terrified out of their wits. The clan leaders convened a meeting that very night, their voices trembling as they gave the order:

"Quickly! Take out the most precious treasures from the treasury! No, open the treasury and let the Golden Crow Clan envoys choose whatever they want! We must win their understanding!"

"From this day forward, all disciples and followers must kneel and bow in reverence whenever they see a member of the Golden Crow Clan! Anyone who disobeys will be expelled from the clan, regardless of life or death!"

"Immediately destroy all tokens and records related to those three Immortal Kings, and sever all ties completely!"

Ancient beings from some powerful ancient mythical beast clans were also awakened from their slumber, their expressions extremely solemn.

"The Golden Crow Clan... has produced an extraordinary being."

An ancient glass dragon, coiled within a chaotic nebula, let out a low, mournful roar.

"Its power is beyond the realm of a Celestial King and cannot be simply defined. Order the Dragon Clan that when they encounter the Golden Crow, they should treat it with the courtesy due to royalty and not be negligent."

"The Way of the Sun has evolved to this extent? The power of chaos can be controlled with such ease?"

Within the ancestral land of the Blood Phoenix clan, a figure wreathed in eternal flames exclaimed in amazement.

"The path of the Golden Crow Immortal King can also inspire our race. Perhaps... we can send an envoy to establish friendly relations and discuss the Dao."

As for the most numerous ordinary races and rogue cultivators, they completely deified the name "Lu Xuan".

The Boundary Sea is a forbidden zone that even Immortal Kings dare not speak of!

The fact that Immortal King Lu Xuan could destroy an enemy with a single strike across the sea was, in their eyes, a feat akin to that of a creator god!
"Lu Xuan Immortal King should be the strongest in the Immortal Realm!"

"What veteran Immortal Kings are they? In front of Immortal King Lu Xuan, they are all like clay chickens and earthen dogs!"

"From this day forward, the Immortal Realm shall revere the Golden Crow!" An invisible wave of voice swept through every corner of the Immortal Realm. A new order, not at the negotiating table, not in the gathering of kings, but under the manifestation of absolute power, was acknowledged and accepted by all living beings from the bottom of their hearts.

The heavens of the Immortal Realm have completely changed.

It is no longer a situation where many immortal kings stand side by side, checking and balancing each other.

An invisible yet incredibly heavy mountain pressed down on the hearts of all living beings, and also on the Dao hearts of all Immortal Kings—that mountain's name was Lu Xuan.

At this moment, the source of all this tremor has returned to the Fusang Divine Tree, as if it had only done something insignificant.

Unlike the radiant and dazzling Immortal Realm, where the laws are relatively orderly.

The alien land was shrouded in a more primitive, wild, and even eerie and ominous atmosphere.

The earth was a dark red color, a purple, malevolent moon hung in the sky, and a thick, dark substance permeated the air.

Deep within the alien realm, in a magnificent hall constructed of black divine gold, a supreme council that will determine the future course of blood and fire is being held.

In the center of the hall, a constantly twisting dark light source floated, emanating a chilling pressure.

Around the light source, dozens of blurry yet powerful figures sat in a circle, each exuding an aura of immortality and undying might.

It is the core force that conquers the heavens from other realms—the Immortal King!
These immortal kings came in various forms, some shrouded in swirling black mist, revealing only their scarlet eyes.

Some were enormous, covered in cold, metallic scales; others were completely humanoid, but their aura was even more terrifying than that of a demon god.

Their mere existence caused the surrounding void to constantly crumble and reform.

"Everyone,"

A cold voice emanated from the dark source of light; it was the will of the Crimson King, one of the oldest giants of the alien realm.

"The ancient artifact of origin must be obtained. It is the key to unlocking ultimate evolution, understanding the origin of the world, and even transcending this world. And it is in the Primordial Ancient Realm."

From another direction, a terrifying aura of annihilation rippled out; that was another giant—Wu Shang.

His voice was powerful and resonant.

"Although the Primordial Ancient Realm is in ruins, there are still a few troublesome rats guarding it. More importantly, those hypocrites from the Immortal Realm will never sit idly by and watch us conquer the Primordial Ancient Realm; they will definitely intervene."

An immortal king, whose body was wrapped in black chains, spoke in a cold voice.

"Although the Immortal Realm is currently plagued by internal strife, if we launch a major offensive against the Primordial Ancient Realm, they will surely put aside their differences and join forces against us. Even if we win a direct confrontation, the cost will be too high."

"Then let's prevent them from joining forces, or... keep them too busy to do anything else."

The Crimson King's thoughts resonated once more, tinged with calculation.

"Dispatch a sufficiently powerful force to launch a feigned attack on the Immortal Realm! Make it appear as if you are about to wage a decisive battle against the Immortal Realm, thereby attracting all of its attention and high-end combat power."

The aura of the Great God Wushang slightly condensed.

"A feint? Not a bad idea. But the Immortal Realm isn't stupid; ordinary harassment won't make them go all out."

"Therefore, this feint attack must be strong enough!"

The Red King's voice was resolute.

"I, the King, and Wu Shang will personally lead the team!"

These words caused a slight commotion in the hall.

The simultaneous deployment of two giants is something that has never happened in countless eras!

The Crimson King continued, "In addition, we will mobilize thirty more Immortal Kings! They will carry the Dark Sky Curtain and the Erosion Realm Array, and their forces will head straight for the most prosperous 'Thirty-Three Heavens' region of the Immortal Realm! They will show that they are prepared to fight to the death and tear apart the barrier of the Immortal Realm!"

Thirty Immortal Kings! Plus two Giants! This is almost equivalent to nearly half of the top-tier forces openly displayed in the alien realm!

With such a massive force, the Immortal Realm will definitely not take it lightly. They will surely treat it as a major threat, mobilizing all available Immortal Kings to confront them at the border. Even those sleeping old guys may be awakened.

"With such a lineup, the Immortal Realm will surely have to go all out to deal with it."

The giant Wushang has approved the plan.

"At that time, their rear will be undefended, and their attention to the Primordial Ancient Realm will be at its lowest. Our other surprise force, which has been lying in wait near the Primordial Ancient Realm, can then seize the Origin Artifact with lightning speed!"

"Not bad!"

The Crimson King's thoughts revealed a chilling killing intent.

"The key to this operation lies in speed and ruthlessness! The team feigning an attack on the Immortal Realm must fight fiercely and aggressively, making sure to tie down the main force of the Immortal Realm. As for the team seizing the Origin Artifact, they must conceal their whereabouts and strike decisively! After succeeding, they must immediately flee far away and not linger in battle!"

"Everyone,"

The Crimson King's dark light swept over all the Immortal Kings.

"For the glory of our race, for the chance to transcend, this battle must be won, not lost!"

"For the glory of our people!"

All the Immortal Kings echoed in unison, and terrifying killing intent and dark aura soared into the sky, shaking the entire core of the alien realm and dimming the purple evil moon in the outside world.

A shocking conspiracy targeting the Immortal Realm and the Primordial Ancient World was thus set in motion.

Using a massive army comprised of two giants and thirty immortal kings as a pawn, they draw enemy fire.

The real killer move, however, is hidden in the shadows, and its target is the ancient artifact of origin that holds the ultimate secret!
The alien army, like a dark tide, began to converge on the chaotic borderlands bordering the Immortal Realm under the will of the two giants.

The shadow of war is heavier than ever before.

It is about to sweep across the Immortal Realm, which is still immersed in the shock brought by Lu Xuan and has no obvious awareness of the impending crisis.

At this moment, Lu Xuan, who had just returned to the Golden Crow Ancestral Land, also vaguely sensed that some unsettling tremor seemed to be coming from the space-time outside the Immortal Realm.

The Chaos Bell trembled slightly within his body, as if sensing a distant, alien realm, filled with an intense, impenetrable darkness and aura of slaughter.

"A storm is brewing..."

Lu Xuan gazed towards the boundless alien realm beyond the Immortal Realm, his eyes deep. "It seems that cultivating in peace won't be so easy after all."

Time flies, stars turn, and tens of thousands of years have passed since Lu Xuan established his authority at the edge of the boundary sea.

For tens of thousands of years, the Immortal Realm fell into an eerie tranquility.

The Golden Crow Ancestral Temple keeps its doors tightly shut and rarely interacts with the outside world, except for the newly grown Fusang Divine Tree, which grows ever more majestic.

The essence of the sun flowing between the branches and leaves was almost solidified, its radiance shining for billions of miles, like an ancient star that would never fall, silently proclaiming the supreme existence of its master.
