Not to mention Shi Hao, even the Fearless Lion and the descendant of the Gu Clan were trembling in shock. How could this be?
Had Yu Tuo and An Lan, the two supreme powerhouses, arrived? But how was that possible?
They were the highest-ranking Immortal Kings. For them to cross the border was incredibly difficult, blocked by the Abyss of Heaven!
Any being of immortality could not pass through the Abyss of Heaven. The stronger they were, the harder it became, as the laws there rejected them, making coexistence impossible.
“Hmm?” Shi Hao’s expression shifted.
Because after the young lord of the Imperial Clan shouted those words, nothing extraordinary happened. There was no sign of Yu Tuo or An Lan manifesting their true forms.
Ahead, the black energy ocean surged and receded, no longer boiling, without towering waves. Yet, it made people’s hearts palpitate even more—it was not to be provoked.
This place had relatively calmed down, with no immortals appearing.
“Brother, what is this?” The Golden Lion also grew suspicious and asked.
“Are you certain you can summon the two supreme Immortal Kings?” the descendant of the Gu Clan questioned. It was proud, never believing its clan was inferior to the Imperial Clan.
In truth, they were indeed excessively powerful. In the past, they had vied with the True Dragon for the title of the world’s foremost clan.
The True Dragon was considered the clan of Immortal Kings. Upon reaching maturity, they would eventually transform into invincible beings of the immortal path.
“Wait!” the young lord of the Imperial Clan said, gazing at the void. His demeanor gradually became solemn as he began chanting a long and ancient name.
It included key names like Yu Tuo and An Lan!
Shi Hao’s heart tightened. He knew what this person was doing—reciting the true names, invoking the full names, surnames, and titles of the two supreme beings to summon them.
An Lan and Yu Tuo were merely abbreviated names of the two Immortal Kings. Their full names, including prefixes and suffixes, spanned hundreds of characters.
Separated by the Abyss of Heaven, their true forms couldn’t cross. Under normal circumstances, invoking their true names wouldn’t summon their manifestations.
Clearly, Shi Hao’s earlier worries were unfounded. When he mentioned An Lan and Yu Tuo to the female Burial Knight, he had only spoken fragmented names.
In truth, with the Abyss of Heaven present, mentioning them in this region wouldn’t trigger their manifestations.
“All that worry for nothing. Those two old bastards, An Lan and Yu Tuo, are heavily restricted here—they haven’t defied the heavens yet!” Shi Hao muttered to himself.
If the Golden Lion and the Gu Clan descendant heard this, they’d be stunned. In the foreign realm, no one dared to disrespect the Immortal Kings like this!
Boom!
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in the void, and a blurry shadow emerged!
The aura was terrifying, suppressing all ages and realms, making all living beings tremble. In that instant, the shockwaves radiated outward from this point, shaking the Divine Medicine Mountain Range, the Longevity Forest, and beyond.
“Summoned?!” Shi Hao was astounded.
The Gu Clan descendant and the Fearless Lion closest to the shadow trembled violently, nearly collapsing, and almost prostrated themselves, unable to withstand the pressure.
Crack!
Unfortunately, the blurry figure was unstable. It shattered the sky and vanished in an instant!
The young lord of the Imperial Clan was stunned. He had thought he succeeded, only to fail at the last moment.
Before coming, he had prepared extensively. He had even been granted an audience with the two supreme kings—an honor not seen in countless millennia.
Both Yu Tuo and An Lan held such high status that even other immortals rarely saw them, let alone the younger generation.
The two had bestowed upon this young Imperial Clan expert various secret artifacts precisely for this day!
“What a pity. We didn’t create a miracle. I thought we’d obtain that rotten wooden chest and unravel the mysteries of the ages,” the Golden Lion lamented.
“So frustrating. We made it this far, awakened the cursed land, unearthed the ancient tomb, and saw the wooden chest—yet we still failed,” the Gu Clan expert sighed.
“It’s not over yet!” The young Imperial Clan expert shook off his regret, his gaze growing firmer.
This time, he didn’t speak much. He was solemn and focused, even more so than before, his fingers trembling slightly from the intensity.
He took out an altar, pale purple and glowing faintly, only three feet tall.
It was made of bone, containing an unparalleled aura and power, like a dormant primordial beast ready to awaken.
“What is this?” the Golden Lion asked.
“A special summoning altar!” the young Imperial Clan lord replied.
Next, he placed tiny array flags on the bone altar, which arranged themselves automatically.
Then, he took out piece after piece of purple-glowing bone, which transformed into symbols, clanging as they spread across the void like shining scriptures, emitting a grand resonance!
The changes left everyone dumbfounded!
Boom!
The next moment, the Golden Lion and the Gu Clan descendant couldn’t withstand it and knelt.
Even the young Imperial Clan lord, after offering the final bone, collapsed under the pressure.
An unseen force communicated with the altar, piercing through endless space to reach this place.
At that moment, in a desolate ancient land of the foreign realm—untouched for countless millennia—beams of immortal light began to shine.
“What? The Ancient Ancestor is awakening?”
Tens of thousands of miles away, hundreds of thousands of miles away, clansmen related to the awakening being trembled in their souls.
The next instant, every member of the clan sensed it and prostrated themselves in worship toward that direction!
Inside the Burial Zone’s sacred land, the Fearless Lion, the Gu Clan descendant, and the young Imperial Clan lord grew increasingly uneasy, their bones creaking as if about to shatter.
“No good! Push it into the black energy sea quickly, or we’ll all die!” the Gu Clan descendant shouted.
They were pinned to the ground, enduring unimaginable pressure.
“Alright!”
The three young experts mustered all their strength and pushed the three-foot-tall bone altar out of the sacred land and into the ocean.
Splash! Waves erupted, and black energy surged!
Clearly, the altar’s entry caused violent changes in the energy sea, boiling it once more.
However, unlike the old soldier, the altar wasn’t destroyed. It floated in the sea.
From afar, Shi Hao watched closely, horrified. He knew a major upheaval was coming—trouble on an unimaginable scale—but he couldn’t stop it.
As the bone altar sank into the black energy sea, the Gu Clan descendant, the Fearless Lion, and the young Imperial Clan lord exhaled in relief and stood up.
Strangely, the sacred land of the Burial Zone was protected by a mysterious force. Neither the black energy nor the bone altar could destroy it.
Crack!
A fissure appeared at the center of the bone altar in the black ocean, oozing strands of multicolored blood, dazzlingly bright and impossible to look at directly.
“What… what kind of ancient blood is that?” The Fearless Lion shuddered at the sight of the rainbow-hued blood.
“Yu Tuo’s blood!” the young Imperial Clan lord answered.
Inside the bone altar was a drop of Yu Tuo’s blood—supreme true blood representing unparalleled power.
As he spoke, the young lord took out another item: a beast hide inscribed with unrecognizable Dao runes.
With a hiss, the hide flew into the black energy sea, landing on the altar. As it soaked in the blood, it burst into flames.
This was a scripture—a summoning text for the Immortal Kings. It now boomed with deafening chants, repeatedly invoking Yu Tuo’s full name!
“A true scripture summoning? This was written by the Immortal Kings themselves?” The Gu Clan descendant’s face paled.
“Success or failure hinges on this. Even after years of preparation, expending countless treasures and paying unimaginable costs, they can only pierce the Abyss of Heaven for an instant,” the young Imperial Clan lord said.
A deep, resonant hum filled the air as the bone altar glowed. The surrounding space twisted and darkened, plunging the world into blackness.
Then, it shot into the sky, tearing open the heavens and creating a portal to welcome the Immortal King’s descent!
At that moment, the world quaked as if the universe was about to flip upside down!
The power was terrifying. A massive hand slowly emerged from the dark rift in the sky, descending in reality.
This wasn’t the true body, but at this moment, it was mightier than the true form, possessing peerless, invincible strength.
For this moment, the Immortal King had prepared for countless millennia. This was the manifestation of his most powerful Dharma Body.
If not for the sacred land’s protection, all life would perish. The mere presence of that hand would shatter the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers.
As it slowly descended toward the depths of the black energy sea, countless stars fell from the sky, exploding midair.
When the hand neared the rotten wooden chest, entire starry seas cascaded down like waterfalls.
What kind of power was this? Unfathomable!
A single hand could drag down starry seas—as if it could annihilate the cosmos with a mere gesture.
“Is this the Ancient Ancestor Yu Tuo? So powerful! Anyone facing him would explode on the spot!” the Fearless Lion said in terror.
They stood within the Burial Zone, protected by the sacred land. Otherwise, even if they were a hundred times stronger, they’d be obliterated by that aura.
“Success!” the young Imperial Clan lord exclaimed joyfully as the massive hand reached for the rotten wooden chest.
He truly wanted to know what was inside.
For this moment, Yu Tuo had paid a steep price and spent endless time. What could possibly be worth such effort?
Boom!
Suddenly, a terrifying tremor shook the land, and an overwhelming aura spread from afar.
It was as if a colossal entity was awakening, preparing to emerge!
“The Ancient Burial Land!” the young Gu Clan descendant gasped in horror.
He wasn’t referring to their current location but to a far more distant place—the kingdom of the Burial Land, which Yu Tuo and An Lan had once sought to excavate.
“Something is coming out of the Ancient Burial Land!” The young Imperial Clan lord was shaken to the core.
Even the Ancient Burial Land had been disturbed. A being was emerging—was it targeting the supreme Yu Tuo?!
