- Pressuring the Border
Outside Imperial Pass, decrees rose into the air one after another, burning there, as if an ancient sacrificial ceremony was being held.
In the great golden desert, a bugle horn sounded. It was as if an endless magnificent army was attacking Imperial Pass.
Heaven Abyss was like a giant funnel that was fastened to this place. It continuously swirled about, releasing rumbling noises. There was black-colored lightning interweaving, flesh and blood raining down.
Apart from this, there was the sound of immortal dao individuals weeping, vaguely sounding amidst the great storm. It was as if there were many ancient creatures who revived, all of them bowing down and roaring here.
That scene was extremely terrifying. As the decrees in the great desert distance rose into the air, offering sacrifices in the battlefield, Heaven Abyss underwent an astonishing change.
It was as if the end of the world was descending. Black-colored and blood-colored lightning interweaved, tangling about together. An even greater rain of blood poured down.
Heaven and earth trembled, the great earth shook.
Imperial Pass was massive. The ancient walls were all piled up from star remains, but right now, they were shaking, as if they were going to fall apart.
This was a strange aura that was spreading, rippling through this place. It spread limitlessly, no distance it couldn’t cover, engulfing the heavens above and earth below!
“Have the undead kings finally fully revived? They are going to take action!”
Inside Imperial Pass, an elder suddenly opened his eyes. Two streaks of cold light were released. It was unknown just how many tens of thousands of years he had remained seated for, his body covered in dust.
It was to the extent where even his face was like this, full of dust, covering the surface of his body, as if he was a clay sculpture.
This was one of Ancestral Altar’s unmatched beings. Even when the rotten wooden chest was brought back, he still didn’t emerge. Now that he sensed the changes to the outside world, he woke up.
“The power of the undying existences…” There were people who released light sighs in other places.
Even Jin Taijun was like this. She stood on an ancient mountain, gazing into the limits of the horizon. Even though they were protected within Imperial Pass, she was still shaken inside.
It was because this was the aura of an undying king, covering everything as it swept over.
Even with Imperial Pass’ defenses, that type of mysterious fluctuation still seemed like it could pierce through.
However, this didn’t have any destructive power, just a type of faint pressure, making the supreme beings feel a type of inward alarm, as well as a type of pressure.
Only they could sense this type of thing, because the others were completely unaware. They only knew that something major was happening outside Desolate Border, but without reaching that level, they couldn’t sense the terrifying pressure of undying kings.
It was elks being intimidated by the roars of lions, while the ants were oblivious.
Ants naturally referred to cultivators at or below Self Release Realm!
Of course, this wasn’t absolute, there were some lower realm cultivators who still sensed this, for example, Shi Hao. He was inwardly alarmed, feeling as if a majestic immortal mountain was crashing down, about to crush him.
Imperial Pass was sealed, those from the outside world unable to enter.
Only through transport formations could one enter the city.
However, now, one side of the wall was opened. Someone climbed to the top of this ancient and majestic city that was as tall as the sky, gazing into the other side.
Every single piece of stone used to make this wall was a piece of star remain, all left behind after great stars fell. One could imagine just how tall the wall was. Standing on top of this type of wall made one feel as if they were towering at the very peak of a starry sky.
As this person gazed into the foreign side, resplendent light shone from their eyes.
He was Immortal Wang. He stood there, silent and unmoving, looking into the golden great desert.
In the past, not many people could climb up here and stare into the foreign side, because this city was always sealed, the only path between the two realms blocked.
Soon afterwards, Jin Taijun also came, standing there, not saying anything.
“This time, if they come, all those who resist will die.” On the wall, an ancient and distant voice sounded. This was Immortal Wang.
He looked like he was sixteen or seventeen, his face ridiculously tender like that of a youth, but his voice was extremely aged, gaze also full of great changes.
“Great forces have come, it is impossible to resist.” Jin Taijun replied.
Soon afterwards, three more figures appeared on the wall. They were Imperial Pass’ unmatched beings, normally watching over Ancestral Altar.
Their figures were all blurry, carrying primal chaos, silently gazing into the other side.
In the great golden desert, the boundless fluctuations were even more intense. One could see several dozen to over a hundred decrees rise up, every single one resplendent to the extreme.
When these decrees flew to a certain height, they would suddenly ignite in midair, produce the most complex symbols, and then engrave themselves there.
A sacrificial voice sounded, as if endless creatures were weeping, praying, kowtowing, communicating with the hidden power, wishing to open up a terrifying passage.
“Things are dangerous this time!”
An unmatched being spoke. He was Qi Hong’s master, as well as the original owner of the Five Spirits War Chariot. He stood in primal chaos, gazing into Desolate Border.
How were they supposed to cross this disaster? The undying kings revived, they were now going to unleash matchless methods, not stinting to pay the cost, wishing to charge head-on, break through the obstruction that was Heaven Abyss!
Even supreme beings were inwardly shaken, great waves stirring within them.
Only they could sense this type of aura. This wasn’t the mysterious fluctuation of an undying king, but rather terrifying power that spilled out after a revival, spreading through this heaven and earth!
Soon afterwards, they saw the black flood in the horizon. Those were men, the other side’s endless army. They already arrived!
“They were like a flood, filling the limits of the great earth, a large black expanse, leaving everyone shaken and alarmed. There was a type of baleful aura covering the world!
Hong!
The entire city wall trembled, as if it encountered some type of impact.
“As expected, this is the attitude of a great decisive battle. They drew over the foreign great dao aura, using the power of that side to batter this place!” A supreme being sighed lightly.
Of course, this wasn’t important, the most terrifying thing was that the undying kings might even act. If they didn’t hesitate to pay the price, who could say for sure that Heaven Abyss could definitely stop everything?
“Have the leaders of the clans gather!” An unmatched existence said. As the oldest supreme being, the effects of his words were extremely great, commanding all clans.
Imperial Pass could not remain calm. The experts of all different clans, the leading figures all moved, rushing towards this wall, starting to gather.
Shi Hao and the others were naturally startled as well. Right now, even the great contributions he established, as well as the heaven reaching beams of light lost their brilliance.
It was because shocking changes arrived, something major was about to happen, all eyes drawn in that direction. No matter how stunning Shi Hao was this time, before the descent of the great disaster, it was already no longer that dazzling.
These youngsters didn’t have the qualifications to ascend that special wall.
However, they heard the news, and as such, all rushed over together, standing before the wall, gazing in that direction. All of them were waiting for news.
In reality, the city was too large, the atmosphere heavy, the pressure incredibly great. Even when it was right before them, when they looked above the wall, they felt as if they were gazing into a heavenly dome.
“This time, the foreign side’s reaction is so strong, there is definitely a reason for this. If I am not mistaken, it should be related to the rotten wooden chest Huang brought back.”
On the mottled ancient wall, Jin Taijun spoke.
Right now, figures were everywhere, the experts of all clans arriving, all of them at the Self Release Realm. They were the most powerful group of cultivators.
Everyone’s expressions were grave as they looked outside the city!
“Have Huang come up as well. This matter happened because of him, so there is a need for him to gather here. Give him a seat.” Jin Taijun spoke up again.
At this time, no one said anything, this place quiet. The expressions of the great cultivators of various clans were serious, eyes flickering with radiance.
Under the city, when Shi Hao heard this order, he was in a bit of shock. He could actually ascend the city wall as well, standing above?
It was because he had already heard that these were all the clan leader level figures of various clans, normal cultivators couldn’t come up here.
“Whose order was it?” Qing Yi revealed a shocked expression, asking for the one who gave the order.
“Jin Taijun!”
“What?!” At this moment, many youngsters cried out in alarm, for example, Cao Yusheng, Chang Gongyan, Lunar Jade Rabbit, and others.
Even Jin Family and Wang Family’s people revealed shocked expressions, deeply surprised.
“No, you definitely cannot go! That old hag is definitely not of the good sort!” Cao Yusheng secretly transmitted sound. He didn’t dare call her an old hag in public.
After all, this was a supreme being who could overlook the Nine Heavens Ten Earths. Even if she crushed him to death on the spot, there wouldn’t be anyone who would get revenge for him.
“You cannot go up, there is definitely something wrong here!” Sky Severing Dao’s witch also secretly transmitted to Shi Hao, shaking her head in his direction.
Then, many people tried to stop him, feeling restraining fear towards Jin Taijun.
Only, how could one defy the order of a supreme being?
“I’ll go take a look, see what exactly is going on.” Shi Hao wanted to see for himself what was going on.
“Fine then, we will accompany you there too! I really want to see the grand scene of the foreign army’s invasion!” Cao Yusheng and the others said.
This time, many people moved, extremely hopeful, this being the case even with Shi Hao. He wanted to see just how many great troops were sent out from the other side this time.
Perhaps because today was special, perhaps because things were intentionally loosened, no one was willing to stop them. The group of youngsters all got up the city wall.
This included Great Xu Tuo, Lan Xian, Little Sky King, Ten Crown King and a large group of other people.
The city wall was grand and majestic, as tall as heaven, shining with the sun and moon.
The area under the mottled ancient wall was full of the engravings left behind by all types of divine weapons, but it still remained undying, towering for endless years without falling, suppressing the passage that led to the Nine Heavens Ten Earths.
“So many!” There were youngsters who couldn’t help but cry out as soon as they ascended the city wall, their expressions completely changing.
When they looked down, there was a great black expanse, no limits in sight. There were great foreign troops everywhere, flooding over from the limits of the horizon, incomparably stifling.
This was on a scale never before seen!
In the past, even though there were great battles that were extremely intense, how could they compare to this? The entire great desert was about to be occupied!
It was extremely clear that this wall was special. No matter how tall it was, how majestic it was, one could still clearly overlook the situation on the ground below, moreover able to sense that type of fluctuation.
An endless great army pressed over, dressed in black armor, equipped with shining long blades, deep and cold war spears, thick blood halberds, riding on sinister vicious beasts.
This flood of steel roared over, making heaven and earth shake!
However, this type of great army that was boundless without limit was completely quiet, no one shouting, no one roaring while riding their mounts, silently advancing.
This only made things seem even more oppressive, making everyone feel even more suffocated!
The great army was seemingly endless, but it wasn’t chaotic at all, extremely orderly, troops after troops of men in proper formation, slowly closing in, the pressure making everyone in Imperial Pass about to shake in fear.
Their march was just too disciplined, in the end, when so many troops arrived, silently closed in, there was actually only a single voice. The pressure made it hard for one to even breathe!
It was incomparably suffocating, the pressure too great!
The great army stopped, all of them coming to a halt, the army so great one couldn’t see the end with a single gaze. They were still completely quiet, only stopping outside Imperial Pass.
Only when a black-colored war chariot slowly arrived from the distance was this peace broken!
“Hand over Huang, hand over the wooden chest, and we can ensure the continued peace of Imperial Pass!” A voice sounded. It was extremely cold and indifferent, carrying great dignity.
“Do you think we’ll hand them over just because you said to?!” Someone shouted from above the city wall.
“Hand over Huang, hand over the wooden chest, and our undying kings can promise to not attack Imperial Pass for ten thousand years, maintain peace between the two realms. Otherwise, a massacre will happen in this city!”
When these words were spoken, everyone was shaken.
