Someone had left the pass to wage war against the alien race. The moment this news spread, it undoubtedly shocked all the powerful experts gathered beneath the World Tower.
This was absolutely a major event, one that concerned the safety of the Emperor's Pass.
"Who is so bold, seeking death? Has the Emperor's Pass been opened?" The various Great Powers immediately changed their expressions.
"No, but those few individuals are currently confronting the alien race, and someone might be holding a Commander-grade Return to City Ancient Talisman!" Wuhua Heavenly King said. While the Emperor's Pass hadn't been opened to venture out, it was the last sentence that was the most alarming issue.
The Return to City Ancient Talisman was an ancient talisman used by powerful experts of the Emperor's Pass on the Two Realms Battlefield, allowing them to teleport back to the Emperor's Pass. Its effects were extraordinary.
Although, to prevent alien invasion of the Emperor's Pass, the Return to City Ancient Talisman only worked for living beings from the Sealed Boundary Universe side. Even if alien experts obtained a Return to City Ancient Talisman, they could not enter the Emperor's Pass; they would be detected and unable to teleport.
Naturally, this referred only to ordinary Return to City Ancient Talismans. Commander-grade Return to City Ancient Talismans were a different matter entirely.
Because these were talismans given to Commanders of the Emperor's Pass at the Heavenly King level. To allow faster teleportation and better rescue of more Sealed Boundary Universe experts, Commander-grade Return to City Ancient Talismans could perform mass teleportation in one go. Moreover, they contained special Dao principles, making them far more potent.
If the alien race obtained one and managed to decipher some of its secrets, it would pose a significant threat to the Emperor's Pass.
It must be known that such Commander-grade Return to City Ancient Talismans had never been obtained by the alien race. On one hand, Heavenly Kings were difficult to kill. On the other, even when facing absolute peril, a Heavenly King could instantly shatter a Commander-grade Return to City Ancient Talisman. However, it was hard to say if those who had left the Emperor's Pass could do the same.
Precisely because of this, all the Great Powers of the heavens grew tense.
"Go and see, quickly!"
This matter was of grave importance, alarming everyone. Countless experts soared into the sky, ascending the Emperor's Pass one after another.
On the Two Realms Battlefield, it was desolate and devoid of life.
One could see that the land here was a bloody red expanse, with mountains shattered and earth split. Massive fissures stretched for who knew how many tens of thousands of li. In the sky, even stars were scarce, with five suns hanging there.
Originally, there had been ten suns, but during the countless battles of this epoch, five had been destroyed, leaving five that still illuminated the entire Two Realms Battlefield.
The heroes on the Emperor's Pass saw that beneath the majestic pass, there were several figures. They were none other than Saint Lord Liuxia and a few powerful young prodigies, standing alone against the vast, endless alien army.
"These damn fools," an ancient Great Sage among them couldn't help but curse. These people had actually left the Emperor's Pass without authorization. This was a foolish act that left their lives at the mercy of the alien race.
More importantly, they were holding a secret talisman like the Commander-grade Return to City Ancient Talisman. If not for this, why would it have alarmed these Great Powers of the heavens to come?
Not to mention the experts on the side of the Tenfold Emperor Passes, even the alien side was astonished. They hadn't expected a few Sealed Boundary Universe experts who didn't know the meaning of death to actually run out. Moreover, it was clear that among these few, the strongest was only at the Saint Treasury Realm.
Saint Treasury Realm cultivation. In ordinary times, this could indeed be considered a hero of a region. But on the battlefield of the Two Realms Ancient Universe, it could at most be considered a relatively powerful cultivator.
Because this was the main battlefield of the two great Ancient Universes. Naturally, both sides had no shortage of true Heavenly Kings and ancient Great Sages. It was rumored that the alien side even had Ancient Monarchs present. So-called Saints, even Saint Lords, were completely insignificant here.
Yet, the young prodigies who had left the Tenth Emperor's Pass were incredibly bold. Facing the alien army of millions of fierce soldiers, they showed no fear. On the contrary, they were valiant and unafraid to confront them!
"Alien race, weren't you clamoring that we didn't dare? Now we've come out. If you have the guts, come out and duel!"
One of the young prodigies spoke up. He was filled with arrogance and possessed an extraordinary bearing. He was a Young King and had reached the fifth heaven of the Saint Treasury Realm, extremely powerful, qualified to look down upon his peers, and unafraid even when facing experts at the seventh or eighth heaven of the Saint Treasury Realm.
Because his King-level talent could, to a certain extent, amplify his combat power.
"Fools!" Several ancient Great Sages had gloomy expressions and couldn't help but curse inwardly. Wasn't this like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, seeking their own death?
"Hmph, the living beings of the Sealed Boundary Universe are as bold and foolish as ever, actually running out without authorization. And they're just a few mere Saints, yet dare to provoke our realm. Truly foolish. We'll send you all to hell!"
A powerful Heavenly King expert from the alien army snorted coldly and directly made a move, intending to exterminate the few Saints from the Sealed Boundary Universe who had run out without permission.
However, at this moment, someone stepped forward to stop him. It was a young figure, clad in blood-red robes, with a head of demonic and sinister blood-colored hair, appearing very malevolent. Yet, a faint golden light flickered within his eyes.
Ye Chen's gaze slightly focused. He knew what the other party was: a red-haired alien, and of a royal clan. Because back in the Purple Mansion Holy Land, both he and Ye Gucheng had once fought against royal clan experts of the alien race. Clearly, this blood-haired, malevolent youth before him was also such a royal clan member, possibly even a peerless young prodigy from an imperial clan.
This person evidently held an extraordinary status. His appearance caused the alien Heavenly King who was about to act to pause, his tone carrying a trace of respect as he said, "Your Highness Blood Spirit King, you are—"
The malevolent king with flowing blood-colored hair fixed his faint golden eyes on the Young King from the Sealed Boundary Universe opposite him, revealing an equally malevolent smile: "Commander, hold on. These people likely carry Return to City Ancient Talismans, perhaps even Commander-grade ones. If we attack forcefully, we might shatter those secret talismans along with them. It would be better for this king to make a move. Perhaps we can seize the opportunity to snatch the Commander-grade Return to City Ancient Talisman. That way..."
Although he didn't finish his sentence, the alien Heavenly King clearly understood and couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth into a peculiar arc: "Your Highness is wise."
From within the alien army, the figure of Blood Spirit King slowly walked out, looking at the Young King from the Sealed Boundary Universe: "You want a challenge, is that it? Good, this king shall grant your wish!"
Boom—
He directly attacked, sweeping out a malevolent blood-colored radiance with a raise of his hand, enveloping all directions, completely covering everything. It was unavoidable and filled with malevolence.
The Young King hailed from the Myriad Domains of the heavens. Having never witnessed the fearsome nature of the alien race, he was utterly unafraid. A cyan divine armor quickly materialized before him, his entire body's Great Dao laws boiling. A Divine Sword also appeared, and he charged into the blood-colored radiance, directly clashing with Blood Spirit King.
The sounds of rumbling were unceasing, accompanied by vast swathes of malevolent blood-colored radiance that seemed on the verge of annihilating everything.
Yet, the Young King was also very powerful. The Divine Sword cleaved out soaring sword energy in waves, collapsing layer upon layer of blood-colored radiance. A series of terrifying battles ensued, shaking heaven and earth, fighting with intense ferocity. Several desolate mountains on the battlefield were directly pulverized and annihilated.
Finally, the Young King fought his way to Blood Spirit King's side, raising his Divine Sword and slashing down angrily, coldly declaring: "Is this all the strength the royal clans of the alien race possess? Remember, the one who kills you is named Ouyang Zhenfeng!"
However, Ye Chen on the Emperor's Pass shook his head and said, "Wrong. The outcome will be the opposite. He's going to lose. He'll be killed."
