The Primordial Giant of the alien race descended upon the Primordial Immortal Realm, leading three other alien Giants. Their majestic, supreme might, honed over countless eons, swept across half of the Donghuang Domain. The sheer, world-destroying power made billions upon billions of living beings tremble with fear, as if the Immortal World itself faced annihilation!
The Immortal Kings guarding the other six Immortal King Passes sensed this and their expressions changed drastically. The alien race had actually broken through the Taiyu Pass—the one guarded by the most Immortal Kings—and successfully invaded.
What was worse, the vanguard was a Primordial Giant, an existence equivalent to an Immortal Venerable One in the Primordial Immortal Realm.
"This is bad! A Primordial Giant of the alien race has invaded the Primordial Immortal Realm. Only an Immortal Venerable One can stop it. We must send word to the Venerable Ones immediately, requesting they personally take the field to repel the enemy!"
An Immortal King's face was grim as he immediately attempted to send a message. However, he and the other Immortal Kings soon discovered they could not transmit anything. Even their Immortal King-level communication methods were blocked. His expression turned extremely ugly. "Impossible! We are all Immortal Kings. Who could block our transmissions? Not even an Immortal Venerable One could do this unless... unless they began theblockade (blockade/seal) long ago, silently, deceiving our senses. Or... unless a legendary Half-Step Overlord personallyblockade (blockade/seal) it. Could it be... has the alien race dispatched a Half-Step Overlord this time?"
At the thought of this possibility, everyone's faces paled, even the Immortal Kings. The power of a Half-Step Overlord was such that slaying an Immortal King would be effortless. One must understand that such an existence was a great being that surpassed even Primordial Giants. If the alien race had truly sent a Half-Step Overlord, the nine Immortal Kings of the Donghuang Domain faced an absolute death trap!
Meanwhile, at the shattered Taiyu Pass, Taiyu Immortal King and the other two Immortal Kings wore exceptionally grim expressions. If this were true, the Primordial Immortal Realm was in grave danger.
"We are no match for the alien race. Let's go! If we head to other great domains, we will inevitably alert the Immortal Venerable Ones. Then, no matter how strong the aliens are, they will be forced to retreat!" Taiyu Immortal King transmitted his voice.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three Immortal Kings made a decisive decision, turning to flee. They transformed into three beams of light moving at their absolute limit, streaking toward other great domains.
"Trying to escape? After spending tens of thousands of years to complete this plan, do you think we would let it go to waste and allow you to flee so easily?" said the alien Primordial Giant, Hongtian Zhuzai. He directly unleashed his Primordial Giant's Dao Domain, enveloping a boundless area and trapping the three Immortal Kings within it.
Simultaneously, the three alien Giants immediately attacked, intercepting the three Immortal Kings, determined to keep them here.
Boom!
Infinite imposing might erupted, surpassing even that of Immortal Kings and Ancient Giants!
From within Taiyu Immortal King's body flew an Immortal King Bell—none other than the Donghuang Bell, which he had carried with him. Originally, he had intended to use the Donghuang Bell to sense the immortal soul of his father, Donghuang. He never expected it would come in useful now.
The Donghuang Bell immediately awakened fully, radiating a majestic power that surpassed the Immortal King level to meet the pursuing alien Giant head-on.
That alien Giant was naturally no match for the Donghuang Bell. It was sent flying directly, its Ancient Dao Blood sprinkling across infinite territories and annihilating who knows how many billions of miles of sky.
"The Donghuang Bell? If Donghuang himself were here, This One might be somewhat wary. But a mere Donghuang Bell cannot intimidate This One. Be suppressed!" Seeing this, Hongtian Zhuzai snorted coldly and directly charged forward to meet it.
Boom!
A terrifying clash of power, akin to an Immortal Venerable One battling a Primordial Giant, rippled out, tearing apart the boundless heavens and earth. It was only because this was the Primordial Immortal Realm; otherwise, this collision would have been enough to tear apart a Primordial Chaos Great World. Even so, it caused an entire immortal domain to collapse and sink.
Taiyu Immortal King grunted, spitting out a mouthful of Immortal King blood. Although he withstood the blow thanks to the Donghuang Bell, it was ultimately through an external object. His own power was far inferior to that of a Primordial Giant.
However, the speed of an Immortal King was incredibly fast. They soon reached the edge of the Donghuang Domain, about to enter the central endless domains of the Primordial Immortal Realm. They didn't even return when passing by the Donghuang Sacred City.
"If you continue to hide, This One will simply destroy the Donghuang Sacred City and wipe the Donghuang Clan from existence!" Hongtian Zhuzai's expression darkened. He directly reached out with a giant hand, attempting to seize the Donghuang Sacred City.
However, the Donghuang Sacred City was Donghuang's main city, containing his power. Now, under external attack, it erupted with its due might, resisting the grab.
This naturally made Hongtian Zhuzai's expression turn very ugly. He couldn't even break through a mere Donghuang Sacred City? How could he, a Primordial Giant who had overlooked countless eons, face others after this?
"Just a city. This One shall destroy it!"
A cold shout echoed through the Donghuang Domain. Hongtian Zhuzai attacked, striking the Donghuang Sacred City again and again. Although the city's protective heavenly curtain contained Donghuang's power and could withstand attacks from an Immortal Venerable One, it was only temporary. It could not last forever. At this moment, after enduring over a dozen attacks from Hongtian Zhuzai, cracks had already begun to appear.
It was clear that after a few more strikes, the Donghuang Sacred City's heavenly curtain would surely be breached, placing everyone in extreme peril.
By this time, Taiyu Immortal King had already reached the edge, about to cross over into another great domain. But seeing the Donghuang Sacred City in such dire straits, he gritted his teeth. He left a message within the Donghuang Bell, then sent it piercing through the void toward the direction of an Immortal Venerable One. For now, he rushed toward the Donghuang Sacred City.
Silently, the Donghuang Bell traversed the endless void of the Primordial Immortal Realm, on its way to the Ultimate Immortal Venerable One. Suddenly, a blurred yet supremely powerful figure appeared, emanating a terrifying aura of an Immortal Venerable One. Its true features were unclear. It intercepted the Donghuang Bell mid-journey and said, "Leave it to This One. This One will go to provide support."
The Donghuang Bell's deity trembled, halting its journey and releasing the message.
The figure received the message and nodded. "This One has received it. The alien race is truly bold, daring to invade our Primordial Immortal Realm. Isn't that seeking death? Good. Today, This One shall personally take action and see where the alien race gets the gall to invade. Donghuang Bell, lead the way."
"Agreed!" The Donghuang Bell's deity released a response and turned to charge back toward the Donghuang Domain.
Suddenly, infinite Immortal Venerable Dao Principles descended, enveloping it. A vast, majestic power suppressed it from all directions, making it impossible for the Donghuang Bell to move even when unleashing its Immortal Venerable-level power.
The Donghuang Bell's deity looked at that supremely powerful, blurred figure and roared, "Why?"
"Why? The victor becomes king, the loser a bandit. Donghuang has been missing for multiple epochs. He has likely long since perished or can never return. The grievances between him and This One from back then should be settled properly. Let his descendants repay the debt. Let the Donghuang Domain disappear as well. As for the Donghuang Bell he left behind, it is quite an impressive Dao Bell and suits This One's taste. From today onward, you shall submit to This One, become This One's Dao weapon, obeying This One's command as if it were my own arm. If you are unwilling, This One will make your deity vanish forever. At most, This One will spend endless eons cultivating a new deity."
The blurred figure spoke indifferently, suppressing the Donghuang Bell and storing it within his internal great world. He cast a cold glance in the direction of the Donghuang Domain and said, "Alien race, as you wish!"
All of this remained unknown to anyone!
