Just then, Li Dao, who had been silently observing from the side, finally spoke up.

"Today, neither Shi Hao nor the wooden box will be handed over."

Jin Taijun frowned, and Wang Changsheng also looked over at Li Dao.

"Hmph, nonsense! With the enemy at the gates, this is not the time for you to play the brotherhood card. Isn't it a good deal to exchange one person for the safety of a city?" Jin Taijun said with an unfriendly look.

The leaders of various tribes also looked at Li Dao at this moment, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

Li Dao ignored Jin Taijun and slowly walked up to Shi Hao, saying indifferently, "Today we hand over Shi Hao to ensure our safety, but who will we hand over tomorrow?"

"Today they cede one city, tomorrow they'll cede ten more. Their wolfish ambitions are blatantly obvious. Rather than trying to negotiate with a tiger, we should fight to the bitter end. That way, our journey won't have been in vain!"

Yes, today they traded Shi Hao for peace, but will it be their turn tomorrow?

"Stop spreading these fallacies! The people from the other realm have sworn an oath in the name of the Immortal King that as long as they hold out until the legendary group saves the world, everything will be settled!" Jin Taijun said coldly.

"Swear in the name of the Immortal King? Which Immortal King? Do you know how many Immortal Kings there are in the alien realm? If you swear in the name of this Immortal King today, can't you attack in the name of another Immortal King tomorrow?" Li Dao coldly swept his eyes at Jin Taijun. She knew nothing and only thought about her immediate safety. She was utterly foolish.

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately speechless.

Indeed, as Li Dao said, they were gambling on the mercy of a foreign land, which was a ridiculous thing in itself.

Many people were thrown into disarray by the crisis at hand, but after Li Dao's guidance, many things they hadn't understood before suddenly became clear.

The alien supreme being on the chariot narrowed his eyes as he looked at Li Dao.

"You truly are a scourge. It would be nice to exchange you for the wooden box and the wilderness, but it's a pity."

On the city wall, the tribal leaders who had been wavering all looked at Jin Taijun after hearing Li Dao's words.

"This..." Jin Taijun was speechless at this point. She wanted to say that people from other lands would not go back on their word.

However, this idea itself is extremely foolish. To entrust one's safety to the enemy's integrity is something that would be ridiculed to death as soon as it is uttered.

"You're not the Supreme One yet, this isn't something you can decide!" Jin Taijun looked at Li Dao with a hint of embarrassment and anger, her voice barely containing her rage.

"I have killed a Supreme Being, do you think I am qualified?" Li Dao was not afraid of Jin Taijun at all, his eyes surging with killing intent.

This Jin Taijun keeps saying she's doing it for the sake of the Nine Heavens, but all she does is for her own benefit.

“You…” Jin Taijun was speechless and couldn’t utter a single word.

"Fellow Daoist Li, what do you think we should do?" Wang Changsheng, who had been silent, finally spoke up, looking at Li Dao with a calm and indifferent gaze, seemingly unconcerned about the scene before him.

"It will be a bloody battle!"

"Even if an immortal king descends from another realm, the price must be enormous. Otherwise, why would they bother negotiating with us here? Given their domineering nature, they would have already stormed the Imperial Pass!"

Li Dao looked at the alien supreme being on the chariot, his voice low but reaching everyone's ears.

Everyone was immediately shocked, and many cultivators who felt ashamed of betraying their fellow countrymen also raised their heads abruptly.

They had fought on the battlefield of the Imperial Pass for a long time, only to have to submit to the creatures of another land in the end.

Even if they were unwilling, they should have remained silent, because they were not the supreme rulers, nor the true controllers of this Imperial Pass.

They have no say in the matter and can only obey the orders of the Supreme Emperor.

However, as soon as Li Dao spoke, their thoughts changed.

"If you try to get something out of a tiger, how can you survive? You might as well cause a huge upheaval. Even if you die, at least you'll have some peace in this broken body," said an ancient warrior.

These words immediately garnered a large response, with more and more clan leaders stepping forward.

Their eyes burned with fervor; they were all from families with an irreconcilable feud with the foreign land.

Lady Jin's face immediately darkened. Ever since the archer disobeyed the imperial decree, she felt that the Jin family's prestige was rapidly declining.

The person who was most moved was Shi Hao.

Even though most of the people who stood up at this time were families with grudges against foreign lands, they were still considered to be standing by his side.

"Do you really want to start a full-scale war for one person? If the Imperial Pass falls, you will all be sinners!" Jin Taijun said angrily.

"Jin Taijun, you have repeatedly said that you want to submit to the foreign lands. Have you been secretly colluding with the people of the foreign lands?" Li Dao said indifferently. He had already run out of patience with this kind of bully who only bullies his own people.

Li Dao's words immediately attracted the attention of many people, who all looked at Jin Taijun with scrutinizing eyes.

"Nonsense! Li Dao, don't try to stir up trouble here just because you have some achievements!" Jin Taijun's face suddenly turned gloomy, and she glared at Li Dao fiercely, as if she would take action at any moment.

"Whether it is or not, you know the answer in your heart." Li Dao glanced at Jin Taijun, said no more to her, and looked down at the city.

We can deal with the matter of Kim Tae-jun after this is over. Right now, the most critical issue is the current crisis in the foreign lands.

"If you want war, then let's fight. You won't get either the wilderness or the wooden box," Li Dao said firmly, showing no fear of the supreme being from another realm.

"Heh, you're courting death without even realizing it. Since you've chosen this path, then let's fight."

"The day I conquer the royal court, everything will belong to my realm."

The alien supreme being on the chariot sneered, his indifferent yet domineering words causing many on the city wall to tense up.

Waaah...

The next moment, a powerful horn sounded, and the foreign cultivators who had been standing like statues suddenly moved.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Each step felt like a heavenly drum being struck, the earth trembling slightly, as if the entire world was about to be shattered by these perfectly synchronized footsteps.

"Fight!" Sui An, who had been keeping his eyes closed to one side, slowly opened them.

Previously, he had remained silent because he knew Li Dao would make a move because of Shi Hao's matter, but now that the great battle was approaching, he no longer hesitated and took out the True Dragon Horn from his bosom, pouring divine power into it.

"Waaaaah..."

The next moment, an even more powerful horn sounded, its sound resounding far and wide, and many cultivators in the city looked towards the top of the Imperial Pass.

"This day has finally come." The blacksmith placed the red-hot blank in his hand into the icy blue water, and puffs of white smoke immediately rose up. He took a blood-stained iron hammer from the shelf, carried it on his back, closed the door, and walked out of the blacksmith shop.

"A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall unless it is for the greater good of the world. Do you understand?" In a small town outside the imperial pass, a scholar put down his book. In front of him was a group of five- or six-year-old children. After saying this with a smile, he took down the ruler hanging on the wall and walked out of the private school.

One after another, cultivators of varying strength and power emerged from the corners of the Imperial Pass and from the small towns outside the pass, all slowly converging on the battlefield.

In a short time, the city wall was filled with people.

Standing at the forefront were the supreme-level combatants led by Li Dao and Sui An, followed closely by the elites of various races, then by the veterans of the city, and finally, Shi Hao and other top geniuses of this era.

Li Dao, his robes fluttering like a banished immortal, his hair tousled by the wind, yet it also stirred a surge of heroic spirit within him. Gazing upon the countless alien creatures, he proclaimed in a resounding voice, "Only a battle can dispel all sorrows! The alien lands lie ahead, and I will pave the way for you all!"

"Good! Good! Good!" The cultivators behind Li Dao struck the ground with their weapons, creating a thunderous sound to encourage him.

"Heh, you're courting death. Since you're so eager to die, then I'll send you on your way!" The supreme ruler of the imperial clan stepped from the chariot into the air. A mark on his wrist flashed, and a long spear appeared.

"That is the weapon of the progenitor Anlan. The weapon's mark is passed down in our blood. Today, shall we witness it slaying an unparalleled genius?" A creature from another realm shouted excitedly, its eyes burning as it looked at the supreme being.

"You brat, why don't you come and die? It would be an honor for you to die under my ancestral techniques."

The spear tip pointed at Li Dao, its killing intent seemingly freezing the void.

"Ha, today we shall see whether your Crimson Spear is sharper or my Dao Body is harder."

Li Dao laughed arrogantly, took a step over the wall, and landed in the air above the battlefield. The Imperial Pass behind him disappeared into the chaos and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a vague outline of its grandeur.

Chi!

The moment he stepped out of the Imperial Pass, a golden spear pierced eternity, cleaved the sky, and charged toward Li Dao.

"To actually launch a sneak attack, that's utterly despicable!" Cao Yusheng couldn't help but feel a pang of fear for Li Dao as he watched the golden spear hurtling towards him.

"clang!"

At that moment, a bronze spear retaliated in kind.

In the vast天地 (heaven and earth), the crisp sound of the collision traveled extremely far. Both Li Dao and An Hui felt a numbness in their arms and their expressions changed.

“You do have some skill, no wonder our realm has listed you as someone to be killed.” An Hui’s lips curled into a cruel smile.

"The methods of An Lan's descendants are nothing special." Li Dao didn't show it on his face, but he was also surprised in his heart. An Hui's strength was even above those five people in the Heavenly Beast Forest.

"Sharp tongue and sharp tongue, watch how I cut you down!" An Hui, who had been in the martial arts world for three thousand years, had never heard such words before. He sneered and swung his crimson spear like an impenetrable wall.

"Slay me? Let's see if you have the ability!" Li Dao was equally unwilling to be outdone. He took a deep breath, gripped the bronze spear so tightly it clanged, and swung it wildly towards An Hui.

clang!clang!clang!

The heavens and earth trembled, the dark clouds were torn apart, and the yellow sand was cut open. Amidst the increasingly loud horn calls, the battle between the two instantly entered a white-hot phase.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators from both realms felt a surge of heat in their eyes, and the gushing blood in their chests could no longer be contained.

"Kill!" Someone shouted first, followed by a thunderous sound of footsteps.

The elite troops from the Nine Heavens on the city wall charged out like a sharp sword, fiercely plunging towards the endless stream of cultivators from the foreign land.

The moment the two sides clashed, a massive burst of blood energy erupted—a blood mist formed from exploding flesh and blood.

The moment the two sides clashed, the battlefield instantly turned into a meat grinder, with cultivators exploding in the collision.

There was no back-and-forth tug-of-war, only warriors charging forward with the resolve to die for their cause.

On the walls of the Imperial Pass, the supreme beings had not yet made a move, but were keeping a close eye on the battlefield. Once they discovered that a supreme being from another realm had entered the arena, they would immediately join the battle.

Looking at the meat grinder in front of her, even though she was used to life and death and had seen many scenes of fighting and bloodshed, Jin Taijun couldn't help but tremble.

"The Jin family cannot fight to the death here; they must preserve the flame of the Nine Heavens."

A ripple of emotion also appeared in Wang Changsheng's eyes, his thoughts unreadable.

"Whoosh!" An arrow pierced the air, and Old Gao's cold eyes swept in a certain direction.

The void there was violently fluctuating, and a figure in black robes appeared, one hand gripping the incoming arrow.

This is a supreme being.

"Damn it!" One of the invincible warriors sighed inwardly upon seeing the alien supreme being leave the battlefield, and also stepped down from the city wall.

Chapter 488 The sky cannot block my eyes, and the earth cannot bury my heart!

Another supreme battlefield has been opened, and the residual power of the battle is rapidly spreading outwards like waves splashing in water.

The Supreme Battlefield extends deep into the boundless void, its terrifying power shattering the heavens.

Li Dao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked down, and saw a horrific wound on his arm from which blood was flowing freely.

An Hui, who was opposite him, was not having an easy time either. His chest was caved in, and when it recovered, it made a cracking sound that sent chills down one's spine: "Heh, you actually refused such a good deal as exchanging one person for the safety of an entire realm. Well then, today we will slaughter the Imperial Pass."
