A massive and icy battle halberd cleaved through the Celestial Abyss, threatening to split it apart!
The sight was abrupt and terrifying. The Celestial Abyss trembled violently, the sea of laws boiling as crimson waves surged into the heavens, shaking the entire desert.
That aura alone—even with the Celestial Abyss separating them and the Imperial Pass standing as a barrier—sent shivers through souls, making hearts palpitate with dread!
Everyone had thought the war was over, that peace would reign for centuries. Yet, in the blink of an eye, a supreme overlord’s halberd had descended upon them.
Many shuddered in horror. That had to be the strike of an Immortal King—nothing else could unleash such terrifying power.
How could this be? Were they launching another assault?
Countless stood frozen, chilled to the bone. Could the Celestial Abyss still not halt their advance?
That place was a sea of karma, an ocean of order, a natural chasm designed to bar peerless powerhouses. Crossing it demanded an immense price.
When the Primordial Imperial City shattered, its sole surviving king dissolved into light and merged with the Celestial Abyss, amplifying its power. The abyss became a forbidden zone.
Not long ago, An Lan had lingered here for but a moment—and his arm had withered to bone!
The effects were lasting, irreversible for centuries, a deep threat even to Immortal Kings.
The lethality, the devastation, had been proven. So why would anyone dare venture here now?
This was a bronze battle halberd—ancient, heavy, slicing through the Celestial Abyss, mere inches from breaching the sea of order, poised to reach the Imperial Pass.
Streaks of radiance swirled, endless crimson light illuminating the heavens as the scarlet sea of laws engulfed the halberd!
The bronze halberd remained frigid and unmoving, weathering the onslaught of divine chains and the erosion of the decree-laden sea, exuding nothing but killing intent.
Everyone was on edge. Whose weapon was this? Was its wielder coming in person?
On the walls of the Imperial Pass, silence reigned. This was not what they had expected—the battle was far from over!
“The Celestial Abyss is fully activated, its rules corrosive to Immortal Kings. Why would he take such a risk?” someone stammered, voice trembling with despair.
**BOOM!**
The halberd quaked, striving to break through the abyss, to truly cleave its way across, stirring a cataclysmic storm of slaughter as thunderbolts rained down.
**SHHIIING!**
Crimson light blazed in endless streams, blood-red symbols igniting and drowning the halberd, suppressing it, preventing it from tearing through the scarlet curtain.
The Celestial Abyss had grown stronger—it was working!
“Specifically targeting Immortal Kings!” The people rejoiced, relief washing over them.
“Will it corrode his weapon?” Some clung to hope, staring at the abyss, praying the bloodied sea of laws would destroy this Immortal King’s weapon.
At the last moment, it had withered An Lan’s arm, eroding flesh and blood. Surely it could ruin this halberd too!
Yet, defying all expectations, the bronze halberd remained intact, emitting a faint glow as it resisted the abyss, neutralizing the sea of laws.
**BOOM!**
Then, the halberd quaked once more, repelling the crimson runes and shaking off the sea of order, stunning everyone.
In that instant, countless beings on the Imperial Pass walls felt their blood run cold.
What kind of might was this? Had the Celestial Abyss lost its power?
“I… I know who it is. That legendary, peerless powerhouse!”
Someone’s voice trembled, face pale. He spoke a name—but dared not utter it whole, breaking it apart instead.
For fear of summoning calamity.
Immortal Kings possessed unfathomable abilities. Speaking their names might manifest them in the flesh—an unparalleled terror.
Even with the Celestial Abyss between them, he dared not speak the full name.
**Wu Shuang!**
Yet, the people understood. That being—infamous, renowned, the name alone struck fear even in the foreign realm.
Legends of this supreme king were countless. He was ancient, possibly older than some Immortal Kings, his status exalted, his power terrifying.
The Wu Shuang Clan—one of the most ancient imperial lineages!
Wu Shuang was its progenitor, alive through multiple epochs, his might unrivaled, a truly invincible existence.
With his bronze battle halberd, he was said to have slaughtered his way through the world, unmatched!
“It’s him… It’s really him!”
Even an elder supreme being on the Imperial Pass trembled slightly. He wouldn’t flinch if a sacred mountain crumbled before him—yet now, he was visibly shaken.
Wu Shuang’s infamy was too great. In the ancient Immortal Era war, he had been a butcher, shattering the balance!
“Magic immunity, impervious to all laws—that is the invincible king!” someone lamented.
Wu Shuang’s reputation was colossal, his name shaking history, towering like the heavens. At a certain level, all knew of his glory.
Because his clan’s secret art was too terrifying, too domineering—a peerless, unrivaled technique!
**Magic immunity, impervious to all laws!** That was his pride, his innate invincibility, leaving none to rival him!
Shi Hao could also achieve temporary magic immunity when facing opponents of the same level, but only for an instant.
He had long known this supreme art was famed in the foreign realm, originating from an ancient imperial clan.
Now, he witnessed it firsthand—Immortal King Wu Shuang himself had sent forth his weapon!
No wonder the bronze halberd remained unbroken, hovering in the Celestial Abyss, even attempting to carve a path across realms.
This was Wu Shuang’s weapon—naturally immune to laws!
“Could it be… the Imperial Pass will fall after all?” Some were on the verge of despair, their world turning gray.
“Magic immunity and law negation are relative, not absolute. At the very least, the Celestial Abyss bars him from crossing!” Meng Tianzheng spoke at last, having remained silent until now.
“Exactly. If he were truly immune, he would have attacked long ago. He wouldn’t have waited all these years. It’s only partial!” another agreed.
The people calmed, realizing they had frightened themselves.
If the scarlet sea of order had no effect on him, that supreme king would have crossed already!
“Look! The bronze halberd is cracking!” someone sharp-eyed cried out.
Indeed, fissures had appeared along the halberd’s blade, stark and undeniable.
“He never entered the Celestial Abyss like An Lan, so he wasn’t eroded. Now, he certainly won’t risk his body!” Meng Tianzheng declared.
Many exhaled in relief.
**BOOM!**
Yet, just as they relaxed, the Celestial Abyss quaked once more. The halberd glowed, unleashing an unfathomable power that shook the world.
“What’s that—?”
“No! It’s forging a path—is it sending over an Immortal?!”
Some paled, hearts pounding.
Upon the halberd, a figure strode forward, radiating overwhelming might. Not an Immortal King, but surpassing the peak of mortal power—a being of dread.
An Immortal—a supreme existence.
By the Nine Heavens’ standards, this was a **True Immortal!**
“Heavens! A being at the Immortal level!”
“How can we possibly resist this?”
Panic erupted. Just as they thought the battle was over, an Immortal had crossed over.
They knew this was Wu Shuang’s doing—using his weapon to carve a path, leveraging his supreme ancestral art to defy the Celestial Abyss, shielding an Immortal to breach the Imperial City.
In this era, the Nine Heavens lacked True Immortals. Such a being could crush them all.
**PFFT!**
Yet, as the figure stepped off the halberd toward the abyss’ edge, he suddenly coughed blood, staggering back—failed!
The crossing had been thwarted!
Clearly, the Celestial Abyss had repelled him—for this place was a forbidden zone meant for Immortals and higher.
Cheers erupted from the Imperial Pass walls.
The enemy’s suffering, their failure—was their fortune, their triumph.
But the joy was short-lived. All eyes locked onto the Celestial Abyss.
Silently, dozens of figures emerged, marching along the bronze halberd, their presence chilling—like demons breaking free from hell’s chains.
And they stepped out of the abyss, arriving before the Imperial Pass.
They weren’t Immortals, but the weakest among them were at the Dunyi realm—supreme beings, standing now upon the desert.
“I knew it wouldn’t end so easily. Another brutal battle awaits,” someone sighed.
Wang Changsheng and Jin Taijun stood grim-faced. A clash of supremes was inevitable.
The Celestial Abyss suppressed Immortals, but it barely hindered those at the peak of mortal power. For them, the abyss was crossable.
Now, this host of powerhouses had arrived—together!
“Shi Hao! Dare you descend and fight?!”
Below, a youthful voice rang out. Around him stood others—men of striking vigor, women of breathtaking beauty.
“Imperial Clansmen,” Shi Hao muttered coldly.
“Without relying on that drop of blood, what else do you have? Still bold enough to fight? We’ll take your head!” another taunted.
At the same time, supremes coldly issued challenges, calling for the invincibles of the Imperial Pass to battle.
“Heh… Hahaha!” Shi Hao laughed—cold, yet exhilarated, his eyes blazing.
“Before leaving, you’re gifting me more achievements? Imperial Clansmen—you’re courting death. I’ll slaughter you all!” he roared, his voice brimming with dominance.
