In the twilight years of the Immortal Ancient, the Nine Heavens were on the verge of shattering.

The flames of war never ceased from the beginning of the era to its end.

Kings fell, the Immortal Dao ceased to exist, beacon fires raged everywhere, and living beings suffered immensely. Amidst this war-torn era, a person who transmigrated from Blue Star stepped forward resolutely after witnessing such tragic circumstances! He decided to take up the banner of war!

Lin Yue: "Perhaps I cannot change anything, but at least I should do something! At the same time, I also want to see what kind of magnificence the end of cultivation holds. The best of both worlds, why not!"

Chapter 1: Chaotic Battles in the Immortal Ancient

A mysterious Ancient World!

Flames of war permeated the vast universe, with beacon fires raging everywhere. Meteors-no, star after star plummeted! Like shooting stars trailing fire behind them, they streaked across the firmament! The scene was extremely terrifying.

The Brahma Sound Crossing was also known as the Brahma Sound Realm, or the Brahma Sound Heaven!

This place was once the mother world of the Immortal Monk King, but now it was a chaotic battlefield.

Following the fall of the Immortal Monk King, this place was also invaded by the Foreign Realm and reduced to a battlefield. Most of the realms had been occupied by the Foreign Realm, and it could be considered the final defense line holding out. Moreover, they were currently fighting while retreating, making it difficult to hold their ground.

Above the firmament, great cultivator after great cultivator was in battle. Those fighting there were at least great cultivators of the Escape One Realm and above, and among them were Supreme Dao Venerable figures exchanging blows. With a casual strike, the entire heaven and earth trembled!

As for the clashes of Immortal Dao figures, it seemed to be happening above another firmament. After all, this was not a standoff phase now, but a period of all-out war. When Immortal Dao figures made a move without anyone to protect them, even the energy fluctuations were not something ordinary cultivators could handle.

The Human Dao realm remained the Human Dao realm. Although from ancient times until now there were legends of peerless prodigies fighting against the Immortal Dao within the Human Dao realm, those remained mere legends.

Arrows carrying the power to distort space pierced through the firmament, and miserable screams and sneers resounded across the battlefield. Blood rain never ceased in the sky, and heaven and earth wailed endlessly due to the fall of some great cultivators, sounding heartbreaking and helpless!

First the True Dragon fell, and subsequently, supreme Immortal Dao figures of the Nine Heavens such as the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass and the Thunder Emperor were cornered and killed. Amidst this peril, before the Nine Heavens side could even react, the dark invasion proved even harder to resist. Many Immortal Kings and True Kings were stabbed in the back, catching the Nine Heavens side completely off guard.

The Nine Heavens, which had originally thought to possess fighting strength following the dispatch of troops from the Immortal Domain, suffered compound disaster at this moment with the disappearance of Immortal King Wuzhong and the fall of the Reincarnation Immortal King.

Although the war had not yet subsided, the defeat and demise of the Nine Heavens seemed already destined!

And this time, support at the Brahma Sound Crossing probably ended here as well.

Alas...! The grand trend was gone, blood stained the yellow sand, and the flames of war ultimately burned toward the Nine Heavens side! Living beings suffered, inheritances were cut off, yet what could be done, what could be done! In the end, it all dissolved into a long sigh!

At this moment, the cultivators on the Nine Heavens side in the arena were facing nearly double the number of enemies. After all, the Foreign Realm was a great world capable of rivaling the Immortal Domain, and the Immortal Kings whose names were known alone numbered no less than twenty or thirty.

Although the enemy forces were not fully mobilized this time, a large troop had still arrived. If not for the support of the Immortal Domain, it probably wouldn't have been double the enemies; they might have had to face five or even six opponents. For the Nine Heavens, whose cultivation methods had already been penetrated by the Foreign Realm, this was simply a disaster!

Being besieged in battles between cultivators felt utterly stifling. People of matched strength fighting two opponents simply could not win, and currently they couldn't even run away!

Consequently, the cultivators of the Nine Heavens in the arena continuously dwindled. Although quite a few people died on the Foreign Realm side as well, compared to the Nine Heavens side, it was hardly worth mentioning!

Right now, the heaven and earth rules within the Nine Heavens were still relatively intact; even with many techniques penetrated by the other side, they were not entirely without the power to counterattack! Yet fists ultimately struggled against four hands!

However, this situation was rewritten in a remote corner of the battlefield!

A youth of about seventeen or eighteen gripped a Black-Gold Long Sword, blood of various colors mixed and dripping from the long sword!

This was a youth in the Heavenly God Realm, drawing exceptional attention on this battlefield where even cannon fodder wasn't counted. For no other reason than that he withstood four powerful beings of the Foreign Realm with his bare strength-such strength made it impossible not to pay attention.

Calling them humans on the opposite side was a bit of a stretch. After all, although these creatures had taken human form, they still bore characteristics of other species to varying degrees.

"Humph! Brat, stop doing this kind of futile struggling. Your Nine Heavens Immortal Kings are dead or wounded, and your world has already been breached by us. Whatever you do is ultimately in vain. Seeing that your aptitude is quite good, why not join our world? With your aptitude, you will definitely receive King Clan treatment! How about considering it?" said a Foreign Realm being with twin wings on his back. While mocking, he still wanted to win over the youth before him, because the opponent was indeed very formidable!

"Lin! You talk too much! Let me behead him and snatch his three strands of immortal qi first. Who knows, this might be my opportunity to advance into the Emperor Clan!" shouted a robust man with sharp horns on his head from the side!

"Indeed!" X2

A man and a woman on the side also seemed interested in the robust man's suggestion and chimed in!

Hearing this, the male named Lin at the side twitched the corner of his mouth. These few idiots still hadn't realized that the youth opposite them hadn't even used his full strength, yet they, who prided themselves on a King Clan origin, thought they were strong enough, failing to detect the opponent's strength from start to finish.

Only his innate racial talent was powerful enough to barely notice this point! However, he didn't care either; after all, they had arrived riding the momentum of sweeping victory. Even if the opponent possessed trump cards, as long as they were in the same realm, even if they couldn't win, things wouldn't go awry!

The youth in the arena didn't take the words of the few to heart. A pair of pupils dark as the starry sky seemed to look at the few, but in reality, his entire mind and spirit were paying attention to the entire expanse of void all around! Because there were still beings lingering in secret, attempting a sneak attack!

"Humph! The vanquished remain as arrogant as ever. Then go die with your own arrogance!"

Watching the youth ignore them, the robust young man flew into a sudden rage, transforming into a streak of black light as he came. Mysterious runes wrapped around his right hand, carrying raging flames as if he intended to shatter the youth with a single punch!

The other two struck simultaneously to form a encirclement around the youth, various terrifying divine abilities sweeping over. The youth stepped using Divine Travel, seeming to barely dodge, and flew up to the firmament.

The ground beneath their feet cracked crazily due to the strikes of the few!

"Good opportunity!"

Watching the opponent leave his vital defenses wide open, the male named Lin temporarily cared not what scheme the opponent was playing. How could such a battle opportunity be missed!

His twin wings slashed, and dual divine abilities transformed into sharp profound light that arrived. The youth raised his hand to meet the sword and block this fatal killing art!

At that very moment, from the void, a black sharp claw carrying a god-slaying murderous aura pierced out from the space behind the youth. Runes flowed upon the sharp claws. This strike seemed to span the distance of space, descending unfettered by heaven and earth to pierce the youth's body.

Turns out this was the true lethal blow!

Seeing that the youth was about to lose his life beneath the sharp claws, the youth, who was originally in a crisis, showed no panic. Instead, the corners of his mouth curved slightly upward!

Finally making a move, are you!

The youth had long known that beings were lurking all around. However, dealing with the four people in the arena made it difficult to find them, so it was better to play along and lure the other party into making a move. Moreover, the opponent's spatial divine ability was indeed remarkable!

Life-Less Yin-Yang Sword!

The youth who had seemingly struggled to fend off the onslaught abruptly reversed his posture, three strands of immortal mists surging wildly across his entire body. Daoist talismans coiled around the ancient black gold sword in his hand, and without even looking, he spun around and slashed with a single sword stroke!

The attacker behind him also sensed a trace of esoteric menace, already using spatial divine powers to isolate that sword strike!

Unfortunately, panic instantly seized him as he watched the youth's black and white sword light crush and scatter the talismans he had just condensed with the force of a decaying dry branch!

"How is this possible! Such bizarre sword skill, it's impossible to dodge!"

"Ah...!"

A miserable scream echoed through the void, and then a three-headed monster tumbled down from the void!

"Three-Headed King!"

Never in his life would this generation's king have imagined he would die in such a stifling and humiliating manner. His opponent was definitely an Emperor Clan member from the Nine Heavens side, yet had zero pride of an Emperor Clan, skulking and ambushing people like an old schemer!

Cold sweat beaded on the brows of the remaining figures. This was no ordinary nobody! Nor was it some self-proclaimed King Clan, but a universally acknowledged Foreign Realm King Clan-one of the strongest major king clans beneath the Emperor Clan. With his mastery of spatial escaping arts combined with the secret techniques cultivated by his three heads, even an Emperor Clan found it difficult to rival him, and to a certain degree he was even harder to deal with than an Emperor Clan. If not for the lack of an Immortal King in their lineage, they would have long since been granted the title of an Emperor Clan, yet he had been slain with a single sword strike just like that!

"Run! This is an Emperor Clan of the Nine Heavens! Only the Emperor Clans of our realm can deal with him!"

Lin screamed in panic, pushing the divine power within his body to the absolute limit as he executed a blood-escaping art to flee!

"Flee? Escaping now is far too late!"

The youth who had remained silent for so long finally spoke, his voice carrying chilling indifference!

"Yin-Yang Reversal! Treading the Void!" The speed was so blinding it made one feel as though time itself were flowing backward.

The moment the youth's voice fell, he had already vanished from the spot. Accompanied by four miserable screams, several Foreign Realm monsters were executed on the spot!

Chapter 2: Counter-Battle

Just after the youth slew those few individuals, the space surrounding him began to grow viscous. The Great Dao of heaven and earth seemed to be gradually sealed off, preventing anyone from sensing any sounds or sights!

The youth's entire body trembled, his mind focusing intently as he stared at the rippling void. The Void Dao Realm! A church-master-level figure of the Void Dao Realm had descended!

The very instant the thought arose in his mind, a halberd suddenly burst forth from the void!

With three strands of immortal mists wrapping around his physique, the youth's divine talismans swelled upon the ancient black gold sword, and he braced against the incoming halberd to barely dodge the somewhat sneaky ambush strike!

"Yin-Yang Reversal, Treading the Void!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the youth executed his ultimate movement technique, instantly putting distance between them!

"You must be the young prodigy from the Nine Heavens side who has been active on the battlefield lately! Good aptitude, extraordinary movement technique; such speed is practically no slower than mine. You even killed the Three-Headed King of our realm with a single sword strike. Submit to me! Become my battle slave, and you can live!"

A red-eyed youth walked out from the void, appearing just as he attempted to recruit the Nine Heavens youth, who was merely in the Heavenly God Realm!

A frown furrowed the youth's brow. In the end, their numbers were simply too few-had the Nine Heavens side truly reached a point where no one remained to counter church-master-tier figures of the Foreign Realm like this?

Now that the Nine Heavens was on the verge of shattering, the Foreign Realm seemed to believe the overall situation was already settled, actually dispatching figures of the younger generation. Their purpose was likely to annihilate the prodigies on the Nine Heavens side and crush the confidence of the younger generation here!

"Heh! Putting on airs, aren't you? What kind of mindset makes you feel you can decide the fate of others? Do you think you're an Immortal King or something! You're nothing more than a mere descendant; even an Immortal King wouldn't necessarily be invincible across the world!"

Unfazed and fearless, the youth gripped an ancient scroll, ready to activate it!

"The Void-Escaping Secret Manual, is it? It seems your elders really care about you! Understandable, seeing as you're someone who walked the God King Path, counting as an Immortal Seed on your side, with a promising future in the Immortal Dao. What a pity!" The youth showed no surprise, clearly not encountering such a situation for the first time!

The youth turned to leave!

"Next time, I hope you bring your scroll along as well, otherwise you still won't escape your fate! Though I do wonder, just how many scrolls do you people have?"

A smile plastered across his face, the red-eyed youth watched the youth without a trace of anger at the opponent's escape!

The youth ignored his words, though he desperately wanted to exchange blows with him. Even so, the Nine Heavens side had reached a point where no one could hold back the Void Dao Realm opponents.

Under such circumstances, beating a hasty retreat was the wisest course of action!

"Right, remember this: my name is An Zhuo! Being able to become my battle slave is your supreme glory! Don't run away next time!"

As the youth finished speaking, the youth-who had been about to crush the scroll and leave-slowly put the scroll away and tucked it into a Storage Ring!

"What? Not leaving?" The youth asked with a trace of confusion.

"Your name is An Zhuo?" The youth asked calmly.

"That's right!"

"What a coincidence!"

The youth slightly raised his chin with confidence and pride, a smile on his face. Being granted this surname was the supreme glory of their lineage, as well as the goal they pursued throughout their lives, and the youth being stunned was only natural.

The youth did not mock him again because of his pride, for an Immortal King was truly terrifying-just like an Immortal King, looking down upon the world and gazing indifferently upon the rise and fall of eras. To invoke their true name was to cause heaven and earth to respond.

However, precisely because Immortal Kings were powerful, not just anyone could become an Immortal King. Even among their descendants, wanting to give birth to an Immortal King was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"I've decided! I'm going to kill you!"

"Hahahaha... What grand ambition! Let me measure whether you truly possess the qualifications to be taken as a battle slave!"

The youth laughed wildly and wantlessly, as if he had just heard the most ridiculous joke!

"Hmph!"

Without another word, the youth let out a cold snort as three strands of immortal mists pierced through his entire body, golden talismans leaping forth from within. With a single strike, he gave it his all!

Treading the Yin-Yang Reversal, time seemed to be cast aside behind him, granting the youth a speed that was by no means inferior to that of Void Dao cultivators!

In the void, divine marks intertwined at the point where the two weapons met, and the surrounding space distorted. The moment they exchanged blows, An Zhuo furrowed his brow because he had been driven back by the other's single sword stroke. The opponent's physical body was actually this terrifying!

"Hmph!"

As a descendant of the Immortal King, being forced back by a youth of a lower realm made him feel insulted!

"Ah...!"

With an angry roar, startling power erupted upon the halberd. The divine ability runes seemed about to sweep across the entire heaven and earth, yet it was useless!

"Hmph!" The youth let out a cold snort! The long sword in his hand vibrated, forcefully hacking the opponent away!

"Ah...! Brat! You deserve to die! A mere Heavenly God Realm dares to bare your claws! Today I'll let you know just how outrageously wrong you are not to run! You have no chance left!"

Stabilizing his figure, An Zhuo grew so enraged his face distorted. As a descendant of the Immortal King, being driven back one-on-one by a young man from the Nine Heavens caused him to lose all face and feel deeply insulted!

In An Zhuo's eyes, he himself as a descendant of the Emperor Clan was invincible even within the same realm, let alone when the opponent was merely at the Heavenly God Realm! Even if throughout eternal epochs there had been Heavenly Gods slaying those of the Void Dao Realm, it should never happen to an Emperor Clan member.

"If output relied on roaring, you should go practice the Lion's Roar Technique! And one more thing, the one who is strong is the Immortal King, not trash like you!"

Mid-sentence, the youth struck once again. Golden radiance surged over his body, and black and white divine marks transformed from within him into ten thousand swords, arrayed horizontally across heaven and earth to surround An Zhuo. The void was isolated, and the opponent felt as though he were trapped within his own Sword Realm!
