What appeared was a True Dragon, its length stretching billions of miles beyond measure. Each of its dragon scales was vaster than a star domain, its colossal body pitch-black like ink, as if it were the very incarnation of darkness.
The only difference was its pair of crimson dragon eyes, overlooking past, present, and future as it descended upon this place. Its presence caused the Heaven-Reaching Bridge formed from the wisp of Immortal Venerable origin to tremble precariously, feeling as if it could shatter at any moment!
After all, this was merely a bridge formed from a single wisp of an Immortal Venerable's origin. If an Immortal King-level or Giant-level being truly attacked, it simply could not withstand it.
This Giant-level True Dragon, however, was somewhat different from the pure-blooded True Dragons once seen in the Chaos Sea. It bore massive wings and instantly charged towards the location of the Heavenly Gate.
"Even a Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant-level forbidden existence has appeared. This Dark Territory named 'Eternal Night' is not simple," Taiyu Immortal King's expression sharpened. This time, he no longer sat cross-legged but rose to his full height, arriving at the Heavenly Gate and standing within it. Instantly, the Immortal King radiance surrounding him blazed countless times brighter, resonating with the ten drops of Immortal King essence blood.
Boom—
The Immortal King figures formed from the ten drops of essence blood suddenly merged into one, manifesting a more substantial Taiyu Immortal King—this was Taiyu Immortal King's Immortal King Dao Body. And being so close, it could unleash combat power not far inferior to the peak strength of his Original Body.
This Immortal King Dao Body channeled the vast Immortal King-level mana from its Original Body, unleashing Immortal King-level Dao might to actively attack the Dark Giant.
Roar—
The Dark Giant-level True Dragon roared, stirring up endless rolling waves of dark light, terrifying beyond measure, and clashed with Taiyu Immortal King before the Heavenly Gate.
The battle of Giants naturally far surpassed that of Supreme Beings or Quasi-Giants by an immeasurable degree. With a mere thought, they could manifest entire heavens with their mana, create worlds with a single intention. Myriad heavens and countless worlds appeared around them, born from their very thoughts.
Strangely, although the Dark True Dragon was immensely powerful, belonging to the Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant level, it did not know how to effectively utilize its dark mana. More often, it relied on its own peerless physical body to clash head-on.
Yet one had to admit, the Dark True Dragon was truly formidable. It had attained the Dao through its physical body and was at the Giant level. Although Taiyu Immortal King was extremely powerful, he found it difficult to truly and effectively harm it. During the fierce battle, the Dark True Dragon was continuously drawing closer to the Heavenly Gate.
Faintly, one could see endless darkness sweeping forth, rushing through the Heavenly Gate into Donghuang Sacred City.
Rumble—
The terrifying dark aura carried the aura of a Giant, immensely fearsome. Immediately, Donghuang Sacred City shook violently. Countless onlookers were swept up by the dark aura, directly decaying into nothingness. Even being slightly grazed by it meant death.
Taiyu Immortal King's expression turned extremely grave. One hundred and eight immortal light rings bloomed around him, overflowing with infinite Immortal King flames that burned the darkness, thoroughly expelling all of it.
"Enough. The Dao Body is ultimately at some distance and cannot unleash peak combat power rivaling the Original Body. I can only dispatch my true Original Body," Taiyu Immortal King sighed softly, yet his gaze remained intensely focused as he stood firm within the Heavenly Gate.
Simultaneously, he summoned his Immortal King weapon for the first time.
This was an Immortal King umbrella, forged from seven types of Chaos Immortal Gold, inscribed with countless Immortal King-level Dao runes. It had also undergone the tempering and transformation of Ten Thousand Ancient Times great tribulations, making it exceptionally powerful.
The Immortal King umbrella flew out, plunging into the Dark Territory. Once opened, the umbrella covered the boundless dark land.
Within the Immortal King umbrella was a universe, containing a vast starry realm with billions of shining stars. At this moment, the umbrella's divine spirit awakened. Instantly, billions of strands of Immortal King flame descended, incinerating everything, turning an unfathomably vast expanse of the Dark Territory into a sea of fire.
Naturally, the Dark Giant-level True Dragon was also enveloped within. The Immortal King flames burned the Dark True Dragon, each strand containing Immortal King-level runes, terrifying beyond compare. Any single strand was enough to burn and annihilate a great world, let alone billions of strands.
The Dark Giant Dragon's dark scales clanged and rang as if being assaulted by billions of immortal weapons, sparks flying as its dragon body swayed and struggled.
Its maw opened, vast as a starry sky, capable of swallowing an entire immortal domain. It spewed a breath of Dark Dragon Breath—a Giant-level dragon breath carrying absolute dark power, icy as the Nine Netherworlds, like a boundless dark sea pouring down from the Ninth Heaven, colliding violently with the boundless sea of Immortal King flames.
Giant-level power erupted, shaking the boundless Dark Territory!
If not for Taiyu Immortal King's true Original Body personally guarding the Heavenly Gate, this Giant-level force rushing in would have been enough to cause countless casualties within the entire Donghuang Sacred City.
Taiyu Immortal King's true body battled the Dark Giant-level True Dragon while also feeling puzzled: Could the Dragon Clan still possess such a Dark Giant?
Ye Chen remained standing in the void, watching all this from afar. Seeing that Taiyu Immortal King could not repel the Dark Giant in a short time, he frowned slightly. Naturally, he did not wish to see the Primordial Immortal Realm suffer collateral damage. He could tell this Dark Territory was fearsome, and it was highly likely other Dark Giants existed within.
Just as he was about to take action, suddenly, his figure paused. He looked up to see two Immortal Kings descending from the heavens, attacking together.
Boom—
Even a powerful Dark Giant like the True Dragon could not possibly be a match for three Immortal Kings. It was violently repelled, its enormous dragon body tumbling endlessly through the void, scales shattering, flesh torn open, even revealing dark dragon bones.
Its crimson eyes coldly swept over the three Immortal Kings within the Heavenly Gate, revealing a chill: "Three Immortal Kings!"
"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother," Taiyu Immortal King spoke. The newcomers were precisely Donghuang's two disciples—the original Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother. Both had now attained the Immortal Dao and become renowned Immortal Kings of their generation.
Within Donghuang Sacred City, countless people also cheered excitedly: "Nine Netherworlds Immortal King! Haozun Immortal King!"
With two great Immortal Kings arriving in person, joining forces with Taiyu Immortal King to make three Immortal Kings taking action, even if the Dark Giant was powerful and had attained the Dao through its physical body, it could not possibly be a match.
Nine Netherworlds Immortal King, around whom nine layers of nether light appeared like nine layers of hell added to his body—a special type of Immortal King existence—frowned as he looked into the Dark Territory beyond the Heavenly Gate: "Fifth Junior Brother, the territory where Master's immortal soul is lost is not simple. It is very likely the legendary Eternal Unknown Land. Moreover, this Dark Territory is also something we are seeing for the first time."
Haozun Immortal King was divine, handsome, and scholarly, his expression equally grave: "This time, guiding Master's immortal soul back is of utmost importance; we cannot afford the slightest carelessness. That is why we have come as well."
This matter concerned guiding Donghuang's immortal soul back—the master or father of the three Immortal Kings—so naturally, they could not be careless.
The three Immortal Kings attacked, shattering all obstacles, allowing the Heaven-Reaching Bridge to move faster, piercing through an even more vast region.
Faintly, it seemed one could glimpse a mysterious, unknown place, exciting everyone. Was that where Donghuang's immortal soul was lost?
"Hmph, you dare intrude into our Eternal Night territory. Today, you have instead become the most brilliant guiding beacon, showing our Eternal Night kin the true location of the Primordial Immortal Realm!"
The Dark True Dragon snorted coldly. Its massive dragon body swayed, descending with endless darkness, charging towards the Heavenly Gate once more, intending to use the gate as a guiding beacon to invade the Primordial Immortal Realm.
At the same time, deep within this Dark Territory named 'Eternal Night,' other extremely fearsome supreme existences also resided. There were no small number of Dark Supreme Beings, Quasi-Giants, and even several Dark Giants.
Because of the Heavenly Gate and the Heaven-Reaching Bridge, the very existence of the Primordial Immortal Realm itself became a guiding beacon in the darkness, attracting the attention of these Dark Giants, who rushed over one by one.
