Chapter 1 The Next Day

The next day, the morning light shone into the ancient city. The descendants of the Seven Kings, who had decided to leave, had already gathered around Shi Hao. At this moment, Shi Hao held a bone token in his hand, which would allow them to cross the mist and return to the Bianhuang (Borderland) Emperor Pass.

Just as Shi Hao and the others were about to depart, Jiang Xuan appeared, arriving before them. Without much preamble, he handed the Hongmeng Ziqi (Primordial Violet Qi) seed to Shi Hao.

Shi Hao naturally recognized this Grand Dao seed, having even fought with Ziyang Tianjun (Purple Sun Celestial Monarch), the original owner of the Hongmeng Ziqi seed.

"Take good care of this Dao seed," Jiang Xuan instructed, "Bring it back to the Emperor Pass and hand it over to Grand Elder Meng Tianzheng, or to another incarnation of mine. Remember, never let it fall into the hands of anyone else."

"Are you not returning with us, Dean?" Shi Hao asked, puzzled. Jiang Xuan had entered the low mountain yesterday and had only appeared now, so he was unaware of many things.

"I still have unfinished business," Jiang Xuan said, repeating his instruction, "Remember what I said."

Within the Hongmeng Ziqi seed, a portion of that King's primordial spirit was now residing, undergoing fusion. It wouldn't be long before an incarnation could be refined.

However, time was running out. News had arrived from his incarnation in the Foreign Realm: An Lan and Yu Tu were about to lead a large army to attack the pass. They couldn't hold out here for much longer, so he had to let Shi Hao take the Hongmeng Ziqi seed away.

As for the seed of life, he had other uses for it.

"Yes," Shi Hao replied, carefully storing the Hongmeng Ziqi seed. After that, he led the descendants of the Seven Kings, left the Imperial City, and, holding the bone token, passed through the barrier and returned to the Borderland.

Jiang Xuan watched them leave, then stood on the city wall. Beside him, the King who had survived to this day slowly approached.

Jiang Xuan now knew his identity. He was one of the Human Kings. In the past, two or three people had been named Human King, representing a major clan. Shi Hao's ancient ancestor, Stone King, was one of them, and so was the one before him.

This one's title was "Mu King," and he was also the last surviving member of the Seven Kings.

Now he stood with Jiang Xuan on the city wall. In front of this majestic city, forged from immortal bones and divine blood, they seemed insignificant, but they could not be ignored. Standing there, they overshadowed the brilliance of the entire Emperor Pass.

"They're here!"

After an unknown amount of time, Mu King sighed softly. His eyes reflected a scene: the Foreign Realm army, densely packed, with a boundless aura, coming from the end of the horizon, a black mass, a black ocean, filled with terrifying killing intent!

At this moment, Mu King's aura also changed, like a dormant true dragon awakening. From his weakened body, an unparalleled power erupted, causing the ages to tremble. The entire Imperial City, at this moment, seemed to return to its most brilliant state. Immortal light filled the sky, and thousands of divine patterns broke through the heavens. Mysterious and astonishing phenomena spanned the heavens and earth, illuminating the past and present!

The Bianhuang Emperor Pass also saw this scene. Many living beings were fearful and uneasy. The difference was too great, but no one retreated. Those who still stood here now were all determined to fight to the death!

Rumble…

Thunder shattered, and on the other side of the endless abyss, a war chariot slowly drove forth. It bore various marks, left by weapon attacks, such as axe marks, sword marks, and knife marks… recording the glory of battle after battle. This was the war chariot of an Immortal King, pulled by an old ox, slowly approaching the abyss, about to cross it!

"An Lan's chariot!"

Mu King recognized it at a glance. His eyes contained ten thousand divine lights, as if about to soar into the sky, to fight in this era.

In the desert, the sound of bells came, clear and melodious, tied to the old ox, indicating the appearance of the Immortal King An Lan, about to cross the border and descend upon this realm!

However, at this moment, a city appeared, suspended in the sky, casting a large shadow, obscuring the sun, suppressing down, emitting immeasurable light.

Looking from afar, on the city wall of that city, there were two figures standing, like immortal battle immortals, driving the entire city. Immeasurable immortal light swept down, all immortal symbols, terrifying and boundless, shaking the past and future, illuminating the entire world!

At this moment, An Lan in the chariot had no choice but to take action. No one but him could stop this city. However, he only stretched out one hand, slowly but powerfully, reaching towards the high sky to support it.

Boom!

Immeasurable immortal symbols fell, and chaos exploded. A peerless killing aura erupted, but none of it could harm that palm in the slightest. With just one hand, he supported the entire ancient city.

"Kill!"

However, at this moment, Mu King erupted, no longer able to conceal his condition. The wounds of the Great Dao surfaced, affecting him, constantly tearing his body apart.

But at this moment, he feared nothing, burning his origins, the light of his primordial spirit illuminating the nine heavens, transforming into an earth-shattering divine light, merging with the Imperial City, erupting with the ultimate strike. The towering beam of light pierced straight into the heart of the abyss, driving boundless mana, immortal might unparalleled.

"Boom!"

The entire abyss was burning, emitting boundless immortal energy, becoming flames, turning into runes, combined with the marks of the abyss.

One immortal law after another descended from the abyss, like shocking divine rainbows, immortal for eternity, gods blocking, kill gods, Buddhas blocking, slay Buddhas. In an instant, it caused the sky to collapse, the earth to split, ghosts to cry, and gods to wail.

Boom!

A supreme wave was surging, sweeping the heavens and the earth. Then, one immortal light after another fell, and misty immortal fog enveloped it, making it look incomparably sacred!

"Light of Immortality?!"

In the Foreign Realm, a living being was shocked. In that Imperial City, a living being was about to become an immortal, even having taken half a step, the light of immortality scattering, about to rush into that realm!

Light rain danced, carrying an immortal aura, and a figure was stepping forward, the light of immortality blooming on his body, incomparably dazzling, illuminating the entire borderland, and illuminating this era!

Rumble!

Earth-shattering lightning fell, chaotic lightning, shining with immortal laws, densely packed, submerging the abyss. Jiang Xuan did not hesitate, directly charging out, using the chaotic lightning to rush into the Foreign Realm's thousands of living beings.

"How dare you!"

A roar of anger, it was an immortal being roaring, stars shattering, immortal light piercing through the ages, sweeping over, about to nail Jiang Xuan to death.

However, it was all useless. The chaotic lightning was shocking, descending in this era where it was difficult to become an immortal, surpassing other immortals, the ages trembling.

Even An Lan, the Immortal King in the chariot, took notice. He was also taking action, isolating the ages of time and space, not allowing Jiang Xuan to get close. Outsiders could not interfere with the immortal tribulation. If he entered Jiang Xuan's tribulation range at this time, the tribulation would be even more terrifying, turning into an Immortal King-level tribulation!

As one could imagine, he had not expected Jiang Xuan to be so crazy, charging into the enemy ranks during his tribulation, using the light of the immortal tribulation to obliterate countless Foreign Realm beings.

However, Jiang Xuan could not ignore the immortal tribulation either. Although he had already undergone a tribulation once, it was still very difficult. After killing a batch of Foreign Realm beings, he had no choice but to focus on the tribulation.

"Dean... is about to become an immortal!"

"Such a strong immortal tribulation, rare throughout the ages!"

"We still have hope, the Dean will斬尽 (zhǎn jìn - cut down completely) all enemies!"

In the Bianhuang Emperor Pass, many young people shouted. They had all cultivated in the Tianshen (Heavenly God) Academy, so they naturally knew Jiang Xuan's identity. Now seeing him undergoing tribulation to become an immortal, they were all cheering.

This was an encouragement, telling them that there was still hope!

Buzz…

Immortal light flowed, immortal energy lingered, before the abyss, a figure stood between heaven and earth, the flesh flawless, the primordial spirit immortal, the mana endlessly regenerating, this was the immortal Dao position, shocking the past and present.

"Who dares to fight me!"

Jiang Xuan stood before the abyss. The Immortal King An Lan supported the original Emperor City with one hand, but Mu King was also launching attacks, restraining him. Moreover, in An Lan's eyes, Jiang Xuan was just a junior who had just become an immortal, so he naturally didn't care.

However, apart from him, many immortals from the Foreign Realm had also come. How could they tolerate Jiang Xuan being so arrogant?

A figure walked over, surrounded by immortal light, the immortal aura permeating, the supreme mana surging, the supreme divine light blooming, releasing the supreme immortal Dao aura.

He looked at Jiang Xuan from afar, roaring: "Arrogant fool, watch me cut you down and offer you to my battle flag!"

A flash of lightning flashed in Jiang Xuan's eyes, and his battle clothes flowed with a dazzling light like the sun, blooming with immortal radiance.

"Kill!"

Without much to say, Jiang Xuan directly attacked, his black hair flying, with an invincible belief, as if he was about to soar into the sky, a fist falling, like ten suns hanging in the air, erupting with immortal radiance, eternal and immortal.

That immortal also struck horizontally, like a demon god, pointing a finger, and in the gray sky, one lightning bolt after another appeared, piercing the sky, tearing the high sky, and one star after another fell because of it.

The universe was torn apart, the stars turned, extremely suppressed, outside the Emperor Pass, on one side of the abyss, two beings were roaring, the sun, moon, and stars were collapsing, emitting endless light, covering the sky and the earth, making the heavens dim.

A strike from an immortal powerhouse could make the heavens and the earth寂灭 (jìmò - desolate/silent), the terrible light swept across, swept across the extraterritorial space, and all the meteorites that fell were blown apart, becoming powder in the void.

However, Jiang Xuan's power was unstoppable. He now possessed unimaginable power, and ordinary immortals were not in his eyes at all.

"Kill!"

The immortal went crazy, using his strongest power. He had already discovered that he was no match. The being in front of him was too amazing, not at all like someone who had just entered the immortal realm. Instead, he was like an invincible being who had half a foot in the Wang (King) realm!

If he hadn't seen him undergoing the tribulation with his own eyes, he would definitely suspect that this was not a true immortal, but an invincible Quasi-King.

"斩 (zhǎn - Cut)!"

Jiang Xuan also softly shouted, the light of Jiu You (Nine Nether) condensed, turning into a Nether battle knife, as if it could split the darkness and cut off the light.

In an instant, one large star after another was cut down, that knife cut off time and space, causing the galaxy to shatter. That immortal-level being was directly beheaded, and his primordial spirit was instantly obliterated. His head and body both fell into the abyss, submerged by the sea of laws.

"Bold!"

Among the Foreign Realm, an immortal being reprimanded, but was also shocked. Jiang Xuan's strength was terrifying. Just entering the immortal realm, he had killed a being who had attained the Dao for countless years, and looking at his appearance, he had not suffered any serious injuries.

"Hahaha!" However, the Foreign Realm immortal's angry roar did not make Jiang Xuan afraid. Instead, he laughed loudly, looked at the many Foreign Realm beings, and said with disdain: "Foreign Realm beings, you're nothing special!"

"Great victory!"

"Dean is invincible!"

On the Emperor Pass, whether young people or old powerhouses, all were shouting. They all knew in their hearts that with the Immortal King guarding, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were still in danger, but Jiang Xuan's strong killing of Foreign Realm beings still encouraged them and inspired their fighting spirit.

"Looking for death!"

A large hand came across the sky, the laws rolling, like a vast ancient world pressing down. In Jiang Xuan's hand, the True Phoenix Precious Technique evolved to the extreme. Between the vaguely, one could see a True Phoenix, the phoenix cry shook the nine heavens, the Taoist divine fire surrounded, as if it could burn all methods.

Boom!

The two collided, earth-shattering, extremely violent, causing the abyss to boil, and the sea of laws seemed to burst its banks. Behind An Lan's chariot, five Immortal King's edicts bloomed with immortal light, and together with a mysterious force, quickly suppressed, blocking everything.

It was also at this time that Jiang Xuan saw the appearance of the being in front of him. It was a middle-aged man, with boundless arrogance, and when his eyes opened and closed, there was chaos.

This was a Quasi-Immortal King!

Moreover, Jiang Xuan recognized this person. His Foreign Realm incarnation had been lurking for many years, so he naturally knew that this Quasi-Immortal King in front of him was An Lan's son. He was very amazing. In the last era, he had already taken half a step. Some Foreign Realm beings had commented that he had no less potential than An Lan and had the possibility of becoming a King.

However, Jiang Xuan didn't think much now. Today he chose to take action, so he naturally knew that it was a certain death situation, but he also had to have some effect, it was impossible to have no effect.

It was precisely because of this that he directly used his ultimate combat power, his inner world resonated with the five great secret realms, bursting out with dazzling light, filled with chaotic energy. At the same time, the True Phoenix, Kun Peng (Roc), Dragon Control Heavenly Art, Immortal Slaughtering Technique, and other peerless divine powers were performed by him, turning into one fist!

"Defeat!"

Jiang Xuan howled, the fist mark struck out, as if it could overturn the heavens, cut off the ages, the inner world and the five secret realms were blooming with light, gushing out infinite divine power, like a universe erupting, ten thousand Taoist divine lights breaking through the nine heavens, making the abyss suddenly tremble.

An Lan's son's expression was horrified, but he was also extremely extraordinary. His hands immediately formed a Dharma seal, using the most profound Taoism, emitting immortal and chaotic energy, as if an immortal king's phantom appeared behind him.

Chi!

The borderland trembled, immortal light filled the sky outside the Emperor Pass, the sea of laws in the abyss was roaring, the original Emperor City was also bombarding, Mu King once again gathered strength, blocking An Lan, his remnant body was burning, and the power of the Great Dao was bombarding.

An Lan supported the Emperor City with one hand, with an invincible aura, but the Immortal King shot at all costs, even if that Immortal King was already a remnant body, it was impossible for him to have no influence.

In an instant, chaotic light erupted, and a figure was pierced through, it was An Lan's son. At this time, he spat out blood, and cracks appeared in his body. Even more terrifying was that his body was pierced through, the light of the laws did not extinguish, and a will condensed on it, constantly tearing his body.

However, in the next moment, a Dharma decree flew over, representing the will of an Immortal King, drooping down the light, covering An Lan's son, and directly escaped, crossing the abyss, sending him back to the Foreign Realm.

"Hey, hahaha! Foreign Realm Quasi-King, the descendants of the Immortal King, are nothing more than this!" Jiang Xuan laughed, mocking the Foreign Realm beings, and many immortal beings were furious, wanting to fight to the sky and suppress him.

"Entering immortality for the first time, you can kill the Immortal King, you can't be kept!" A voice came, like the will of heaven descending, it cannot be violated.

It was An Lan speaking, Jiang Xuan's fighting power made him take notice. He originally thought he was just a larger ant, no matter how much he jumped, he could not escape the fate of death.

But he did not expect that this ant was so amazing. When he first entered immortality, he could斩落 (zhǎn luò - cut down) immortality and横击 (héngjī - strike horizontally) Quasi-Wang (King). If he continued to grow and enter their level, what would happen?

However, he still regarded Jiang Xuan as an ant. Standing in the realm of the Immortal King, he knew best the power of this level. Without entering this realm, everything is like an ant. The gap is too big to make up.

He wanted to take action, but he was not in a hurry. The Nine Heavens were already ruined and not in his eyes. Jiang Xuan was the same, he could not escape, and he could be killed at any time.

However, before he could take action, a figure rushed out from among the Foreign Realm beings, قطع (qie - cut off) time with one hand, cut off the years, held it in his palm, and turned it into a heavenly knife, cut down from eternity.

The rolling years are like running water, like a divine knife, cutting through the heavens and stars, making all the stars寂灭 (jìmò - desolate/silent) and coming to an end, making the galaxy dry and dim. The power of the years fell, and everything in the world seemed to be deprived of its vitality. It seemed simple, but it had infinite mysteries.

Jiang Xuan raised his eyebrows, his black hair flying, and the magical powers in his hand evolved. The Kun Peng and True Phoenix鳴 (míng - cried/sung) through the nine heavens,斩过 (zhǎn guò - cut through) everything,焚灭 (fénmiè - burn and annihilate) everything, and collided with the illusory knife of time.

The void was like the sky collapsing and the earth cracking. The long sky was cracked, the desert was sinking, and many Foreign Realm creatures were affected, but before they could ask for help, they were swept by the light and cut off, and instantly turned into枯骨飞灰 (kū gǔ fēi huī - withered bones and flying ash) and disappeared into the world.

"Is that him?!"

Several immortal beings from the Foreign Realm were surprised. They naturally knew who had taken action. Logically speaking, his race originally belonged to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but later he was secretly harmed. The ancient ancestor who should have become a peerless immortal king had no chance of晋升 (jìnshēng - promotion) and eventually left in disappointment, and the entire race rebelled into the Foreign Realm.

However, in recent years, this immortal has been born out of nowhere, causing the Supreme Immortal Tribulation, which surprised all parties, and then 应 (yīng - answer/respond to) the Immortal King's decree, and participated in the conquest of the Nine Heavens.

They could also guess some of the thoughts of the Immortal King. They wanted to test whether this race was sincerely entering the Foreign Realm, so they summoned him to participate in the war.

But today the changes are heavy, and Jiang Xuan, who played in the Nine Heavens, is even more invincible,横击 (héngjī - strike horizontally) An Lan's son, and defeated him, but he did not expect that even so, he dared to kill into the formation and face Jiang Xuan针锋相对 (zhēn fēng xiāng duì - tit for tat).

"Another one is here to die?" Jiang Xuan smiled contemptuously, without any difference. The Nine Heavens were even more cheering, hoping that Jiang Xuan would斩落 (zhǎn luò - cut down) another Foreign Realm immortality again.

However, Gu Ling, who was standing opposite Jiang Xuan, was very calm, holding the space in one hand and 断开 (duàn kāi - cut off) the years in the other, isolating time and space, and then said indifferently: "Nine Heavens true immortal, the hatred of the ancient ancestor, will begin with you!"
