Chapter 673: Xian

A year later, at the border of the Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom, Xian'e Town Tian Pass!

The pass stood tall and majestic, exuding an ancient and desolate aura. Xian'e Town Tian Pass soared into the clouds, piercing the sky and connecting with the firmament!

Its towering walls reached tens of thousands of feet high, a testament to its grandeur!

Constructed from ancient immortal stones, each stone bore the marks of time, appearing weathered and rustic. Under the sunlight, they emitted a faint blood-red glow.

Looking out from the pass, the boundless plains and vast sky intertwined, with a faint layer of rosy clouds drifting in the sky, adding a touch of mystery and solemnity to Xian'e Town Tian Pass.

The biting cold wind blew against the flags, producing a low humming sound, as if narrating stories of the ages.

Cultivators of the immortal kingdom's military court stood firm at Xian'e Town Tian Pass, clad in battle robes, their faces resolute and eyes grave, exuding an indomitable spirit.

They held magical artifacts, displaying their abilities, vigilantly watching the sky, ever ready to fend off the invasion of evil spirits from beyond the boundary, their murderous aura soaring, their blood energy as mighty as dragons!

Above the sky, millions of massive cloud kun spread their wings, blocking out the sun, flying swiftly towards the outside of the pass, their enormous bodies covered with defensive magical artifacts!

On the ground, cultivators of various races continued to march, the entire Xian'e Town Tian Pass constantly resonating with the vibrations of heaven and earth, making one's blood boil.

If viewed from the sky, the specific tens of thousands of spatial node passages within the pass were continuously spewing out a large number of cultivators, with roars echoing from all directions, causing one's thoughts to momentarily halt.

Within the vast territory of the immortal kingdom, streams of iron-blooded forces continued to converge, all heading towards the border, their eyes filled with unwavering conviction. As the immortal kingdom expands its territory, how can we, the citizens of the immortal kingdom, be inferior to others?!

On the borderlands of the immortal kingdom.

Buzz—

At this moment, a faint and inconspicuous spatial passage slowly unfolded. After a year of travel, Chen Xun and his companions finally arrived.

The cultivators of various races inside the treasure ship had varied expressions, all taken aback by the ancient and desolate aura, retreating a few steps.

Chen Xun sat cross-legged at the edge of the treasure ship, gripping the large axe behind him with a calm gaze, overlooking the cultivators of various races on the vast land, his eyes suddenly turning cold!

The earth-shaking sounds from all directions couldn't stir a single change in Chen Xun's expression. The corners of his mouth slowly curled into a cold smile, exuding an eternally icy aura.

Black Bull stood on all fours beside Chen Xun, equally indifferent to the astonishing scene, its eyes no longer simple but filled with a detached gaze.

The aura of the man and the bull silently spread, causing the cultivators inside the treasure ship to suddenly feel their hair stand on end, a terrifying sense of unease washing over them. What was happening?!

Little Crane stood behind them, involuntarily trembling, staring blankly at her eldest and second brothers. What was going on...

Little Chi was dumbfounded, looking at the ground and sky, the deafening sound assaulting its senses, every strand of its mane trembling, especially at the sight of Xian'e Town Tian Pass, so majestic it seemed beyond what any living being could create!

It hadn't yet noticed the change in Chen Xun and Black Bull, after all, it had experienced the Boundary Battlefield before, and its mental resilience was decent.

"...Eldest Brother, Second Brother?"

"Third Sister, what's wrong?" Chen Xun asked indifferently, not turning his head, "We've entered the front line. This time, it's the real deal, no more small skirmishes."

"Moo." Black Bull nodded slowly, its gaze still solemnly fixed on the distance.

"No, it's not..." Little Crane's face was somewhat tense, her gaze becoming a bit uneasy, "It's my first time on the battlefield..."

"Hmm." Chen Xun nodded coldly, "Back then, your second brother and I wanted to join the army, to charge with the troops, but it never happened. Today, we finally fulfill a bit of that desire."

"Moo!" Black Bull nodded heavily, gazing at the sky, its deep aura gradually rising.

Little Crane was left speechless, completely silent, an inexplicable fear creeping into her heart. The aura and energy of her eldest and second brothers felt so unfamiliar... terrifyingly unfamiliar.

Little Chi's pupils contracted, instantly hiding under the blanket, also not daring to speak. But it knew well the past of the Boundary Battlefield, where Brother Xun, like a god of death, disregarded all living beings!

With the strength of one, he stood against billions of Filthy Longevity outside the ancestral land of the Boundary Spirit, atop millions of Filthy Longevity corpses, the strongest in the boundary's immortal path!

Hiss...

Little Chi took a sharp breath under the blanket, having not seen Brother Xun truly in action for thousands of years.

Now, that sense of disregard for all life... had returned, surely stirred by the atmosphere here, awakening memories Brother Xun least wanted to recall.

Tian Yun was momentarily stunned, tentatively calling out, "Brother Chen... it seems we've reached Xian'e Town Tian Pass..."

As soon as he spoke, a figure slowly turned, and Tian Yun shivered all over, seeing only a pair of eyes.

Those eyes carried a detached gaze towards all life, as serene as a cold moon, exuding a transcendent aura, as if standing outside the mortal world, overlooking the disputes and clamor of all beings.

In that moment of turning, Tian Yun seemed to see an unparalleled existence, a being unlike any other.

The eyes, detached from all life, contained an insight into the suffering of the world, yet devoid of any emotion, as cold and resolute as ice and snow.

Tian Yun instinctively took several steps back, a chill rushing from his feet to his head, and he exclaimed in shock, "Who are you?!"

"Hmm? Brother Tian, indeed, we've arrived." Chen Xun's mouth curled up slightly, "In such a vast battlefield, one must be cautious about their own safety."

"Ah, Brother Chen... my apologies, my apologies!"

Tian Yun quickly cupped his hands, even wiping some cold sweat, explaining, "The bloodthirsty aura of Xian'e Town Tian Pass is too fierce, it momentarily clouded my mind, I hope Brother Chen won't take offense."

"Hehe, it's fine." Chen Xun nodded slightly, then turned his head again, saying something inexplicable, "Back then, they must have charged like this too, but we missed it."

"Moo!" Only Black Bull understood this sentence, looking at Chen Xun, then firmly speaking, "Moo!"

Chen Xun slowly stood up, gazing at Xian'e Town Tian Pass, his eyes showing a domineering look over the world, gripping the coarse cloth axe behind him, ready to deliver an impassioned speech.

However, suddenly a vast and fierce aura surged towards them:

"A bunch of little cultivators, what are you dawdling here for?!"

"This is the battlefield of the immortal kingdom's border, did you come here for sightseeing or fun?! Quickly get down here, line up in three breaths, or go back where you came from!"

In the distance, a bearded middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, with two sharp-eyed military court cultivators standing behind him, their military court armor easily recognizable.

Damn it!

Chen Xun's face turned red and then green, the axe in his hand trembling, how dare they not let this Dao Ancestor finish his words?!

His gaze turned cold, the large axe in his hand unintentionally spinning, his whole body turning into a streak of light, shooting forward with a speed as swift as a storm, arriving in front of them in the blink of an eye.

Chen Xun's body emitted a wisp of crimson murderous aura, speaking with a powerful voice:

"I am Chen Xun, and this imposing figure from afar must be a great general of the immortal kingdom. But, let me add, in three breaths, I'll be the first to arrive!"
