An Lan was being pursued—an earth-shattering event! His bones were broken, and he coughed up blood, making it seem as though they had been transported back to the cruelest era of the Immortal Ancient War!
The creatures from the Otherworld trembled in fear, their hair standing on end, sensing that something was terribly amiss.
Yu Tuo’s expression was grave, his silence profound as he stared at the scene. Why hadn’t that drop of blood burned away completely? How could it still be so terrifying?
On the walls of the Imperial Pass, the cultivators were exhilarated, their emotions surging. Many couldn’t help but roar in excitement, their fervor beyond words!
“Kill him!”
“Can we really slay An Lan?”
Even the oldest among them trembled, their lips quivering, their blood boiling with such intensity that they felt the urge to howl.
Who was An Lan? A peerless Immortal King, one who had once dominated the heavens and earth, staining the sun and moon with blood, plunging the world into darkness. He was one of the rulers who had annihilated the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in the past!
In ancient times, he had battled Immortal Kings, vying for supremacy, his hands drenched in blood—one of the most feared and hated beings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Now, the decisive battle on the battlefield felt like a dream, something too unbelievable to accept.
An Lan’s expression was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger. Even wounded and covered in blood, he remained eerily calm, his composure unnerving.
Yet, he was truly in peril now!
His very life was at stake!
Finally, with a sudden leap, he plunged into the Celestial Abyss, evading the city and ascending above it.
Unexpectedly, the Primordial Imperial City did not suppress him.
But everyone could sense the abnormality—the Celestial Abyss trembled, crimson chains of order spreading like spiderwebs, covering the entire abyss.
“Is this the curse-like power of the Celestial Abyss?” someone from the Otherworld cried out in shock.
They had heard from Yu Tuo that the Celestial Abyss was terrifying—a convergence of laws, a nexus of the Great Dao’s patterns, designed to suppress supreme experts.
It had been created by the beings of the Immortal Domain in ancient times.
“Is Ancestor An Lan trying to use the power of the Celestial Abyss to suppress his enemies?” sighed an elder of a certain royal clan.
This was a gamble—he would be tainted by that power, dragging his foes into a dire predicament.
Yu Tuo remained silent, his expression grave.
For now, it was uncertain whether the Celestial Abyss would also suppress the radiant power of that burning drop of blood!
If it truly treated all equally, then An Lan had undoubtedly made a brilliant move—dragging the three supreme beings down with him to face suppression!
In that place, no matter how many Immortal Kings there were, they would all trigger the curse-like sea of laws, suffering erosion and assault.
**Boom!**
The crimson chains of order intertwined, forming a web that manifested the supreme power of the Great Dao, striking at the Immortal Kings!
This was the Celestial Abyss—a severed fragment of an ancient cosmos, shaped like an inverted whirlpool, vast below and narrowing above.
Here, there were stars, celestial bodies, each one immense and boundless.
In truth, this had once been an ancient cosmos, shattered and sealed here by mighty beings to sever the Otherworld from the Imperial Pass.
To breach the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, one had to cross this place!
**Boom!**
An Lan erupted in fury. Though outwardly composed, his attacks were now ferocious beyond measure—when had he ever been pushed to such extremes?
Time surged, the river of ages threatening to change course as An Lan reached out, seizing a massive star and hurling it forward.
**Thud!**
The star ignited, releasing boundless energy as it crashed toward the three supreme beings.
**Swoosh!**
At that moment, the nine-layered ancient pagoda shone, trembling slightly—the star shattered, exploding like a fleeting firework, its brilliance fading into darkness.
“Kill!”
An Lan roared, launching a desperate counterattack. He had been waiting, hoping for the drop of blood to exhaust itself, but instead, it persisted, leaving him wounded again and again.
Thus, he could wait no longer—unleashing his most devastating techniques.
Now, he employed every method at his disposal, ancestral arts and supreme divine abilities manifesting in rapid succession.
His golden spear flicked, pulling dozens of stars into its wake, swirling through the shattered cosmos before aligning at its tip.
With a mighty thrust, the stars blazed, each inscribed with runes—every celestial body a formation platform. Even as he fought, he wove a grand array.
Yet, the three beings were too formidable. Primordial Chaos Qi cascaded from the cauldron, crushing stars into dust.
“Rise!”
An Lan bellowed, raising his ancient shield with his left hand, summoning a void—a black hole etched with supreme runes—to suppress the three.
But Shi Hao was relentless. His sword gleamed, piercing through the darkness, transforming it into blazing light that incinerated the heavens.
The great battle raged, and An Lan suffered grievous wounds once more.
The three beings were peerless, their divine might unstoppable.
**Thud!**
The cauldron descended, smashing into An Lan’s back, forcing him to cough blood as he staggered.
At the same time, the Great Luo Sword blazed, its eternal radiance severing all laws under heaven!
**Splat!**
Blood sprayed as An Lan’s chest was impaled, his essence flooding the cosmos—a single drop enough to annihilate countless stars.
The sight was horrifying. An Lan’s roar shattered entire starfields, plunging them into darkness, shocking the world.
Below, were it not for the Imperial Pass’s protection and Yu Tuo’s intervention, countless lives would have perished.
The devastation was unimaginable—a single shout collapsing the universe!
At the very least, in this shattered cosmos, stars exploded in endless succession, the void collapsing into ruin.
“Ah—!”
An Lan roared, his spilled blood reversing its flow—the blood of an Immortal King, eternal and indestructible.
“Seal!”
A voice thundered from the nine-layered pagoda, its wielder seeking to imprison An Lan within.
“Break!”
An Lan’s hair whipped wildly, his eyes like lightning as his spear struck the pagoda with a deafening clang, shaking the shattered cosmos.
**Boom!**
In that instant, his left arm blazed with vitality, his shield blocking the pagoda’s entrance.
Primordial Chaos Qi descended once more, the cauldron slamming into An Lan, forcing him toward the pagoda’s maw.
Even the cauldron itself began to glow, its mouth swirling with chaos, seeking to swallow him whole.
Cauldron and pagoda worked in tandem, striving to refine the Immortal King!
“How can this be?” The Otherworld’s denizens were stunned. An Lan was faltering—was the myth of the Immortal King’s invincibility about to be shattered?
Some clans felt as though they had plunged into an abyss, their bodies chilled.
The defeated remnants of the Nine Heavens, who should have been weaker in this era—how had they birthed such a monster, one capable of suppressing Ancestor An Lan?
Whose blood was that, granting Shi Hao such power? Every being was shaken to their core.
“Alas, my time here is at an end. I cannot linger, nor witness the era I sought—the you of that time, and those…”
Atop the Celestial Abyss, before the great rift, the mysterious figure standing upon the cauldron murmured. He was departing.
He did not belong to this era—prolonging his stay would invite catastrophe.
Only a supreme being like him could manifest in this age, an act nearly unprecedented in history.
**Clang!**
The cauldron trembled, carrying him through the rift as the river of time surged, waves crashing as he vanished into another era.
Faintly, one could glimpse a magnificent world—vast mountains and rivers, suffused with immortal energy.
“I will not die. I will grow stronger!”
His voice was calm yet arrogant, shaking the Celestial Abyss before he disappeared.
The rift closed, the river of time receding.
On the Imperial Pass’s walls, Ye Qingxian reached out silently, trembling, tears streaming down her face. She clutched at nothing, her usual vivacity drowned in sorrow.
As the figure vanished, she swayed, nearly collapsing.
“Ah—!”
An Lan bellowed in true fury, nearly sealed within the pagoda, on the verge of being refined.
Though he broke free, he was pierced once more, nearly losing an arm—an unthinkable fate for one whose body was said to be indestructible, impervious to all weapons.
“Seal him!”
The command came again. Primordial Chaos Qi swirled, finally ensnaring An Lan and dragging him into the cauldron.
**Clang!**
The pagoda descended, smashing onto An Lan’s head, forcing him deeper into the cauldron.
**Swoosh!**
Shi Hao released his sword, sending it streaking into the cauldron as a beam of immortal light to slay An Lan!
“I am eternal, undying through the ages. None in this world can kill me!” An Lan’s voice was icy, devoid of panic—like a demon lord speaking from the depths of hell.
