The Supreme Immortal, after all, hailed from the Donghuang Clan and was no ordinary figure. Amidst the clash of Supreme-level combat, he managed to draw blood from the Dark Supreme Ruler. However, overall, he himself also shed a significant amount of immortal blood.
And what was most chilling was that the Dark Supreme Ruler actually seized the spilled blood of the Supreme Immortal, devouring it. Its aura seemed to grow slightly stronger as a result.
"Return! This is no ordinary Supreme One. It is dark, demonic, and sinister. Do not be careless."
There was no need for the Taiyu Immortal King to personally intervene. A supremely powerful Quasi-Immortal King stepped forth from the Donghuang Clan, halting that Supreme Immortal and calling him back. Then, he descended before the immortal gate. His immortal majesty radiated outwards, transmitted through the Heavenly Gate into the Dark Territory. His dignified face was cold as he snorted, "A mere Dark Supreme Ruler dares to covet the Immortal King Essence Blood and Immortal Venerable origin of our clan, attempting to use it as a bridge to invade our Primordial Immortal Realm? Die!"
Immortal light erupted as the Quasi-Immortal King struck. His power was immensely formidable, far surpassing that of the earlier Supreme Immortal.
Instantly, the Dark Territory was illuminated and pierced by the immortal light. Vast stretches of darkness, spanning who knows how many billions of miles, were bathed in the blazing radiance. The endless gloom was torn asunder, as if a sun of the immortal dao had manifested, illuminating the eternal night!
Although that Dark Supreme Ruler was powerful, capable of rivaling a Supreme Emperor with its physique having attained the Dao, the gap between it and a Quasi-Immortal King was still immense. It was sent flying back by the blow.
The Donghuang Clan's Quasi-Immortal King pressed the advantage. Within ten moves, he blasted the Dark Supreme Ruler apart, its dark blood splattering across that unknown land.
Even the Heaven-Piercing Bridge was stained with the Dark Supreme Ruler's blood, its glow dimming faintly for a moment.
However, the Dark Supreme Ruler, shielded by the darkness, managed to escape with its life, vanishing without a trace.
"Be careful. This Dark Territory is extremely sinister. We cannot be careless," the Quasi-Immortal King said gravely. Even he felt a sense of oppression, indicating that this Dark Territory was far from simple.
"Do not fear. Our Donghuang Clan lineage is second to none. Moreover, we have Immortal Kings standing eternal. We do not fear the darkness," another Quasi-Immortal King from the Donghuang Clan descended, speaking with great composure.
In truth, this confidence stemmed from formidable strength and profound heritage. The Donghuang Clan ranked among the very strongest clans of the Primordial Immortal Realm, boasting several Immortal Kings standing side by side, as well as the ultimate foundation left behind by Donghuang to guard the world. They feared no one.
Even if the Dark Territory was exceedingly sinister, they were unafraid.
The Heaven-Piercing Bridge continued its advance. Soon, more Dark Supreme Rulers arrived—not just one, but four Dark Supreme Rulers descended simultaneously, all immensely powerful.
Though their races differed—some had eight arms, some had dragon heads with horse bodies, snake tails, and roc wings, some had snake heads on human bodies, some had human upper bodies and scorpion lower bodies—without exception, these Dark Supreme Rulers all had crimson eyes, appearing bizarre, sinister, and malevolent!
On one hand, they sought to plunder the Immortal King Essence Blood; on the other, they aimed to use the bridge constructed from the Immortal Venerable origin to invade the Primordial Immortal Realm.
The Quasi-Immortal King struck again, sweeping across the four Dark Supreme Rulers, still managing to repel them.
But clearly, the dark region was also far from simple. Dark Quasi-Giants also emerged, their bodies radiating an extremely evil and bizarre power that evoked a sense of ominousness.
The Donghuang Clan's Quasi-Immortal King engaged in a fierce battle across the distance with the Dark Quasi-Giant.
And the Dark Quasi-Giant was terrifying. They had all attained the Dao through their physiques, possessing extreme power. They tore through layers of immortal light attacks, step by step drawing closer.
Simultaneously, several more Dark Quasi-Giants arrived, followed by twelve Dark Supreme Rulers, launching an assault.
The other Quasi-Immortal Kings and Supreme Immortals of the Donghuang Clan dared not be careless. At this moment, they all descended—a total of five Quasi-Immortal Kings and twenty-seven Supreme Immortals, constituting an exceptionally luxurious immortal dao lineup.
This demonstrated the might of the Donghuang Clan, the reason why they could rightfully be called the undisputed ruling clan of the Eastern Immortal Realm.
The assembled Quasi-Immortal Kings and immortals attacked together, piercing through all darkness. They slaughtered until the darkness crumbled, immortal light illuminating the Dark Territory as the dark forces retreated step by step.
But clearly, there were many Supreme Ones within the Dark Territory, arriving one after another. Later on, a full eight Dark Quasi-Giants and as many as thirty-three Dark Supreme Rulers had gathered—a peak-level combat force of Supreme Ones not inferior to what an Ancient Chaos Universe should possess.
"Eight Quasi-Giants, thirty-three Supreme Ones... Could it be that this is not a Dark Territory, but a darkened Ancient Chaos Universe?"
Some began to suspect. It was difficult for anything other than an Ancient Chaos Universe to possess so many Supreme Ones and even peak-level Quasi-Giant combatants. Thus, they suspected that an unknown Ancient Chaos Universe was nurtured within the Dark Territory.
"Impossible. A fiftieth Ancient Chaos Universe does not exist."
Someone immediately shook their head in denial. If a fiftieth Ancient Chaos Universe truly existed, the entire Chaos Sea would know; it could not be concealed.
At this moment, the Taiyu Immortal King, who had been observing from the sidelines, finally made his move.
With a single thought from an Immortal King, utilizing those ten drops of Immortal King Essence Blood, he unleashed the overwhelming majesty of an Immortal King.
The ten drops of Immortal King Essence Blood, at this moment, burned like billions upon billions of suns, erupting with an unprecedented radiance of the Great Dao. Surging Immortal King light manifested as the Taiyu Immortal King's figure materialized, as if his true self had crossed time and space to truly descend upon this Dark Territory. The Immortal King's might extinguished all Daos.
Immortal light surrounding him transformed into endless flames of the Great Dao, burning the boundless darkness.
Boom—
Within the flames of the Great Dao, a blazing immortal sword materialized out of thin air—an Immortal King Sword. It cleaved through the sky, and upon first contact, severely wounded a Dark Quasi-Giant, splitting it in two.
Roar—
The Dark Quasi-Giant bellowed. The Immortal King power contained within the Immortal King Sword had a powerful restraining effect on the Dark Quasi-Giant. Vast amounts of dark blood sprayed out, only to be ignited by the Immortal King flames, rapidly burning away until the darkness was incinerated.
This was the might of the Immortal King level. Even acting from a distance, it could severely wound a Quasi-Giant who had attained the Dao through physique.
With the Taiyu Immortal King taking decisive action, the ten drops of Immortal King Essence Blood shone with Immortal King light that illuminated eternity. Each drop of Essence Blood steamed and glowed, manifesting a phantom of the Immortal King—all projections of the Taiyu Immortal King—simultaneously striking to annihilate the dark Supreme Ones.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Combined with the joint assault of the Donghuang Clan's immortals, the dark Supreme Ones retreated step by step, slaughtered until blood flowed freely and flesh was torn open.
Furthermore, a Dark Quasi-Giant, caught between two Quasi-Immortal Kings, had its head severed and its true spirit extinguished.
The terrifying peak-level great war had begun to claim its first casualties.
The Donghuang Clan side had gained a significant advantage.
However, no one among the Donghuang Clan showed joy, for this was merely the beginning. No one dared guarantee that there were no forbidden existences of the Eternal Giant level within the Dark Territory.
Rumble—
Suddenly, the blazing, boundless Immortal King light was suppressed. An endless torrent of darkness descended from above, inversely suppressing the Immortal King light.
Amidst a roar that shook past and present, a terrifyingly massive Dark Giant of unimaginable power descended. Its dark aura surpassed that of the several Dark Quasi-Giants and Dark Supreme Rulers by an immeasurable degree, shaking the river of time and space until it completely shattered.
