Chapter 621: I, the Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit, Invite the Undying King to Die

Immortal Refining Gourd.

After being struck by the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book, even an Undying King like Kundi had his Immortal King Dao Fruit eroded by the Curse Great Dao, no longer being immortal or indestructible; his essence, energy, and spirit were like a flickering candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

Accompanied by unwillingness, fear, and confusion, all sorts of emotions were like a falling star.

At this moment, the culprit, Anlan, appeared here.

"What a pity, the Immortal King Dao Fruit has already been eroded; it is merely a shell, impossible to Devour."

Anlan watched the withered Kundi quietly, his expression calm.

Because of the curse of the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book, the origin of Kundi's Immortal King Dao Fruit had dried up and shattered.

Like an apple eaten through by worms, it looked new on the outside, but was rotten to the core.

Such powerful beings as Immortal Kings, although inferior in strength to Quasi-Immortal Emperors, were not much different in terms of lifespan, especially vitality.

If they fell, by chanting their true names and focusing one's thoughts, they could be resurrected from the Time River.

But at this moment, the cursed Kundi no longer had any possibility of resurrection.

"An... lan!"

At the moment of death, Kundi looked at the young man before him in disbelief.

He was handsome and radiant, like Kundi himself in the past, a stark contrast.

"Immortal King Kundi, everything is for the eternal stability of this realm; forgive me," Anlan said.

Kundi was shocked; judging by this sentence, the culprit behind his current plight was clearly Anlan.

He was extremely furious and murderous, but with his Immortal King origin Dao Fruit exhausted, he had no strength left to continue fighting; mobilizing his magic power would only make him fall faster.

"Why!"

"Anlan, you are also an Undying King, why harm this seat!" Kundi questioned.

Anlan radiated a faint Emperor Light; feeling this aura, Kundi was even more shocked.

Emperor Light Immortal King—this was already the limit of the Immortal King realm, only a step away from becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Anlan, a mere junior who had only become an Immortal King for less than a few hundred thousand years, was actually able to reach this stage.

"So that's how it is; I didn't expect you to reach such a realm. But why kill me? If you and I joined forces, wouldn't it be easier to wipe out the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?" Kundi could not understand Anlan's reasoning.

Hearing this, Anlan stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently: "The price of wiping out the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is too heavy; you would have to Blood Sacrifice millions of Foreign Realm creatures."

"Hahaha, what are a mere million lives?"

Kundi, as if experiencing a final burst of energy, suddenly stood up, glared at Anlan, and said:

"As an Undying King, Anlan, haven't the souls under your hands numbered more than a million? Why have you become so soft-hearted like a Bodhisattva? Become a good person?

If this is your reason, it is truly ridiculous.

Slaughter, tyranny, and cruelty—this is the essence of Darkness creatures."

"Kundi, I have never said that I am a good person; it is just that I have seen more things than you. This great war has no meaning," Anlan said.

"No meaning? Once we break through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Blood Sacrifice the billions of creatures there, and turn that place into a Darkness Pure Land, do you know what it could bring us?" Kundi roared loudly.

"Kundi, you will never understand. Relying solely on sacrifice, you will never reach the realm of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Your expectation is nothing more than to have the existences in the Boundary Sea grant you the Darkness origin through sacrifice, but unfortunately..." Anlan said.

In the terrifying and dark Boundary Sea, there exist four Quasi-Immortal Emperors: Emperor Hong, Yu Di, Cang Emperor, and the World-Extinguishing Old Man.

And at the end of the Boundary Sea, the Ultimate Ancient Land, lies the sleeping body of the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

The reason the Foreign Realm was born was that Emperor Hong used the Bone Staff to release Dark Matter.

The purpose was to use the Darkness Race to stir up Dark Turmoil, Blood Sacrifice billions upon billions of creatures, repeating the cycle every epoch, and finally, the power of these Blood Sacrifices would be fed back to Emperor Hong through the Bone Staff!

And Emperor Hong would then offer these Blood Sacrifice powers to the unconscious Corpse Immortal Emperor; through such means, he could obtain a portion of the Darkness Immortal Emperor Scripture and get closer and closer to the position of Immortal Emperor.

Therefore, in essence, what Kundi did was merely acting as a pawn for Emperor Hong.

Four Quasi-Immortal Emperors were already enough; there was no need for new Quasi-Immortal Emperors to divide the opportunities of the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

Anlan said no more, reached out a palm, and directly struck Kundi until he vanished into ashes.

Immediately after, he left Kundi City.

A peak Undying Immortal King had fallen; the firmament produced natural phenomena, blood rain fell from the sky, the entire Foreign Realm trembled, the stars shifted, and the sun and moon lost their light.

In a trance, one could hear the wailing and weeping of Weirdness demons in the endless Void, which made one's scalp tingle upon hearing it.

Although they were Darkness creatures and Undying Kings, in essence, they were still Immortal Kings.

Immortal Kings—figures who might not even emerge once in an entire epoch—what kind of innate talent was that, and how precious were they.

His fall was bound to be mourned by heaven and earth, with all beings in the Foreign Realm bowing in worship.

The other Immortal Kings also felt Kundi's fall at the first moment, all of them wearing expressions of disbelief.

Kundi, the number one powerhouse of the Foreign Realm, had actually fallen so silently, his body dead and his Dao extinguished?

How could this be?

What kind of power could achieve this?

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, above the Imperial City.

Liu Shen, Wuzhong Immortal King, Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, and the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass—these four great powerhouses looked toward the direction of the Foreign Realm; once cultivation reached their realm, they could sense any anomaly in heaven and earth.

Let alone the fall of a peak Undying King?

"Kundi, who ranks first in strength in the Foreign Realm, has actually fallen. Who did it? Someone from the Immortal Domain?" the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King asked in surprise.

Although the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King was famous in all directions and had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, he looked extremely young, like a talented youth, a Confucian scholar in white, with six Dharma rings hanging behind him.

"It cannot be a powerhouse from the Immortal Domain; those giants in the Immortal Domain are not necessarily Kundi's match. Moreover, for a powerhouse of that level, if a war started, it would be impossible for us not to sense it in advance," said the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, one of the Ten Fiends.

Liu Shen was deep in thought, thinking of the Undying King Anlan of the Foreign Realm.

Clearly, Kundi's fall could not be separated from Anlan.

It was just a mystery how Anlan managed to do it, wiping out an Emperor Light Immortal King without a sound.

If they were to deal with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, I fear no one could stop them.

"Liu Shen, what is your take?" Wuzhong Immortal King asked.

"Remember what I said before, the Foreign Realm is about to launch a full-scale invasion. This news was told to me by an Undying King of the Foreign Realm, and the current events must be related to him," Liu Shen said.

"Who is it?" Wuzhong immediately inquired.

Liu Shen shook her head and said, "If I were to speak his name, he would have no place to stand in the Foreign Realm, or even the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. At our level of cultivation, some things cannot be spoken lightly, because other powerhouses of the same rank can sit along the Time River and deduce the truth.

Not to mention that the one who has fallen now is the Foreign Realm's number one, Kundi."

"Indeed, even our Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are not of one mind," Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King said.

"Now that Kundi, as their leader, is dead, will the Foreign Realm still invade the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths as scheduled?" Wuzhong said.

"Even if Kundi has fallen, the overall strength of the Foreign Realm is ten times ours; the future is perilous," Nine-Leaf Sword Grass said.

"Therefore, I intend to add fuel to the fire. Rather than being forced to defend, it is better to take the initiative and attack."

Liu Shen said, a trace of firmness and persistence flashing in her ethereal, immortal-like eyes.

"No, the Foreign Realm is dangerous. Liu Shen, even though you are the Ancestor Sacrificial Spirit and possess great strength, once you are surrounded by several Undying Kings, even you will not be able to escape," Wuzhong said.

"It does not matter; at worst, I will fall. Moreover, at my level, if I do not seek some special methods, I cannot break through my realm. I hope that this time, between life and death, I can touch the threshold of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor," Liu Shen said.

"I will go too. Although my strength is not as great as yours, Liu Shen, as one of the Ten Fiends, I can still manage to interfere with other Undying Kings.

Besides, if it weren't for your timely assistance back then, Liu Shen, I fear I would have fallen long ago. There would be no Nine-Leaf Sword Grass among the Ten Fiends," Nine-Leaf Grass said.

"Very well," Liu Shen agreed, thinking that Nine-Leaf Grass's shocking attack power would indeed be a great help.

"Then I will go as well," Wuzhong Immortal King said.

"Exactly, just a trip to the Foreign Realm," Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King said.

Liu Shen said calmly, "You are all high-end combat forces of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. If you all go, who will guard the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?"

Hearing this, Wuzhong Immortal King and Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King fell silent.

Liu Shen's words were very reasonable; once they all met with disaster, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would collapse without a fight.

Whoosh!

The Heavenly Abyss!

Liu Shen and Nine-Leaf Sword Grass crossed space and arrived at the Heavenly Abyss in an instant.

Beyond the Heavenly Abyss lies the Foreign Realm; the land of the Foreign Realm is in no way inferior to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and is perhaps even more vast.

"Let us go, Nine-Leaf Grass. Once we go, we may not be able to return. Are you prepared?" Liu Shen said.

Nine-Leaf Grass smiled nonchalantly: "Liu Shen, I am but a rootless duckweed, without father or mother, born alone; why should I fear life or death?"

"If we survive, we shall drink and talk together," Liu Shen said.

As the words fell, the two entered the Heavenly Abyss, breaking through layers of space and constantly approaching the Foreign Realm.

The existence of the Heavenly Abyss is to block the Undying Kings of the Foreign Realm; once an Undying King enters, they are shredded by the Void storms of the Heavenly Abyss, though such a Restriction is useless against the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Liu Shen and Nine-Leaf Grass passed through without obstruction!

In the Foreign Realm, at the Fallen King City, resides an Undying King of the Foreign Realm, the Fallen Immortal Phoenix.

The origin of the Immortal Phoenix is unknown; after its fall, it was corroded by Dark Matter, its corpse became sentient, and it lived another life, thus becoming an Undying King.

At this moment, the Fallen Immortal Phoenix was preparing to head to Kundi City for an Immortal Giant meeting. Just as it ascended, it saw an Order Chain descend from the sky, lashing fiercely against its body.

Boom!

Caught off guard, the Fallen Immortal Phoenix was whipped away and smashed into the ground, dust flying, causing the earth to shake for ten thousand miles around.

However, this bit of force had no effect on the Fallen Immortal Phoenix. It flew up instantly, glared in all directions, and shouted:

"Who is it that dares to ambush this King!"

"It is I!"

"I, the Ancestor Sacrificial Spirit of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, invite the Undying King to die..."

Liu Shen appeared out of thin air, carrying peerless grace, like a banished immortal from the nine heavens, unstained by dust, resembling the most ancient of deities, her face filled with both compassion and killing intent. Such vastly different temperaments could actually appear on the same person.

Behind her, boundless green light erupted, reaching the heavens and the earth. Order Chains covered in runes emerged from the depths of the firmament. On every willow branch, one could even see stars revolving, and three thousand divine kingdoms manifested as visions standing between heaven and earth!

"It is you!" The Fallen Immortal Phoenix recognized Liu Shen's identity; after all, among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there were only a few true powerhouses.

"Just in time, I shall use you as a sacrifice to the heavens!"

The Fallen Immortal Phoenix transformed into its true form, a black phoenix about three thousand zhang in size. However, because it had been corroded by Dark Matter, there was not a shred of Flesh or feathers on its body; its massive frame was essentially composed of a black skeleton.

It did not have one head, but had grown three heads after the mutation caused by Dark Matter.

With the Dark Immortal Phoenix as the center, the world turned pitch black, the ground covered in Dark Matter, filled with eerie black mist.

This substance possessed strong corrosive properties; those with weak cultivation would likely be assimilated in an instant.

Fortunately, Liu Shen's cultivation was peerless, and she would not be affected for the time being.

"Dark Phoenix Forbidden Technique: Annihilation!"

The Fallen Immortal Phoenix's three heads shot out terrifying beams of power almost at the same time!

One power was violent flames, one power was destructive Thunder, and the final power was corrosive, highly toxic Darkness.

These three powers represented three types of Laws of heaven and earth, yet they were mutated Laws polluted by Darkness; their power was unfathomable!

Liu Shen's expression was calm; she merely extended a slender, jade-white hand, and green leaves representing life emerged in the surrounding Void.

Roar!

A dragon's roar, shaking the heavens and the earth!

Liu Shen's figure was slender and graceful!

Yet behind her appeared a lifelike silver-white True Dragon. The True Dragon soared above the nine heavens, swallowing clouds and spitting mist, commanding the elements of Thunder and the world, capable of anything.

"True Dragon Precious Technique!"

In the shadows, Nine-Leaf Sword Grass saw this scene and immediately recognized Liu Shen's divine ability.

It is precisely the True Dragon Precious Technique, one of the Ten Fiend Precious Techniques; looking at the power of the precious technique unleashed by Liu Shen, it is not in the slightest bit weaker than a True Dragon.

Liu Shen drove the power of the True Dragon Precious Technique, the phenomena shocking the heavens and shaking the earth!

The stars trembled, the universe surged!

That True Dragon roared toward the three Laws of the Fallen Immortal Phoenix, unstoppable and indestructible.

Boom!

A massive explosion resounded throughout the entire Fallen King City, the terrifying energy even obliterating more than half of the king city; many creatures of the Foreign Realm were caught in the aftermath, either severely injured or perishing on the spot.

Puchi!

The Fallen Immortal Phoenix spat out fresh blood; that black blood fell onto the ground, directly corroding an abyss, and formed a dark river of black blood, its divinity undying.

At this moment, victory and defeat were clear!

The Fallen Immortal Phoenix was defeated, yet the might of the True Dragon Precious Technique remained incomparably powerful, possessing the strength to reverse the universe.

Liu Shen stood high in the nine heavens, her long dress fluttering; she looked calm and composed, her expression serene.

"Impressive. I wonder if that fellow True Dragon would feel ashamed if he saw Liu Shen's True Dragon Precious Technique," the Nine-Leaf Grass thought.

"Damn it!" The Fallen Immortal Phoenix's expression was furious; why was he no match for the True Dragon Precious Technique?

Liu Shen seemed to see through the thoughts of the Fallen Immortal Phoenix and said, "The Immortal Phoenix is a True Phoenix, but a True Phoenix is not necessarily an Immortal Phoenix, because you do not understand the True Phoenix Precious Technique. You are merely a fallen corpse, a restless spirit that has completely surrendered itself to the Darkness, so, go to your death."

The True Dragon was also a good friend of Liu Shen, but when the True Dragon had not yet risen, he was not as gifted or as heaven-defying in combat power as he appeared now.

The True Dragon once said that when he was at his lowest, he was only a flood dragon with a trace of thin Dragon Clan bloodline, not counting as a True Dragon.

Even so, on this path of competing for the peak of the Great Dao, the True Dragon went against the heavens, created the Ten Fiend Precious Techniques that shocked ten thousand races, and successfully established his position among the Ten Fiends.

Thinking of this, the Order Chain in Liu Shen's hand transformed into a verdant, life-force-filled Immortal Sword; the Immortal Sword looked plain and unremarkable, yet it contained great terror.

The Fallen Immortal Phoenix knew that once he was struck by this sword, even with his Immortal King Dao Fruit, he would lose a layer of skin if he didn't die.

Thus, he shouted loudly:

"Demon White Tiger, Demon Dragon, my two fellow Daoists, how much longer do you intend to watch?"

As the words fell, two more blurry black shadows appeared out of thin air, two strangely shaped middle-aged men in black robes blocking Liu Shen's sword.

"Two more Undying Kings." Liu Shen's expression changed significantly.

"Ancestor Sacrificial Spirit, this King admits that your strength is peerless in the world; to dare to break into the Foreign Realm alone, we admire this spirit.

However, do you truly think the Foreign Realm is a place you can come and go as you please?" the Fallen Immortal Phoenix said.

The Demon White Tiger and Demon Dragon were both his fellow Daoists, their caves no more than one hundred thousand miles from the Fallen King City, and they could sense each other with a single thought.

Besides them, in the surrounding Void, there were several other Undying Kings watching; they were not of the Fallen Immortal Phoenix's faction, so they would not come out to help.

"How truly shameful, Demon Phoenix," the Demon White Tiger mocked with a cold sneer.

"Don't laugh; you have seen the strength of the Ancestor Sacrificial Spirit," the Fallen Immortal Phoenix said.

"Heh, only a powerhouse with the strength of the Ancestor Sacrificial Spirit is worth beheading," the Demon Dragon said sinisterly.

Even when facing three Undying Kings, Liu Shen remained calm, then decisively struck, single-handedly battling three top-tier powerhouses.

Boom!

Their figures could no longer be seen; the naked eye could not capture them, and one could only feel the terrifying energy constantly tearing at the Void. At that level of energy, everything below an Immortal King would be destroyed.

The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass in the Void perfectly concealed its aura; it condensed a Divine Sword capable of slaying an Immortal King with its own origin, its excited heart and trembling hand searching for the best moment to intervene!

Chat Group.

When Liu Shen arrived in the Foreign Realm and began the battle, Anlan had already opened the Chat Group Live Broadcast Room.

Immortal King Anlan: "Tsk tsk, as expected of Liu Shen; I truly admire this spirit of breaking into the Foreign Realm alone."

Zui Ai He Shounai: "Wahaha, Liu Shen!"

Shi Hao was incredibly excited; he saw Liu Shen from before the ages.

Liu Shen at that time was indeed peerless, standing aloof from the world like a fallen immortal.

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "How did Liu Shen kill her way into the Foreign Realm?"

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Yeah? But I remember there was a scene in the script where the Ancestor Sacrificial Spirit killed her way in and out of the Foreign Realm seven times; could this be it!"

Immortal King Anlan: "It's possible, but I have already changed the development of the Foreign Realm. Kundi has already been cursed to death by me using the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book. I have to say, Xuan Ge's Seven Arrows Book is truly top-tier. Xuan Ge, lend it to me for a while longer; I have great use for it."

Scripture Seeker: "..., points."

Immortal King Anlan: "Understood, understood."

Demon Queen: "No matter how strong this Liu Shen is, facing three Immortal Kings, she seems to be struggling."

Kyushu's Number One Golden Core: "Well said!"

Sword of Renjian: "Such a battle, shifting stars and changing constellations, heaven collapsing and earth cracking, time reversing—it is truly rare in the world, isn't it?"

Heilong Tian: "Impressive. If my strength were not insufficient, I would truly want to fight her."

Demon Lord Chonglou: "Indeed, it is a pity that I have not yet completely refined the Demon Ancestor Essence Blood."

Invincible Yuwentuo: "Two brothers, such things cannot be rushed; one's mindset must be leveled, otherwise it is easy to fall into demonic obsession."

Demon King Who Never Suffers: "Eating melons!"

Fire Fist Ace: "Such a powerhouse, I fear she could destroy my plane with a single hand."

Dance King of the Shinobi World: "Be more confident; she doesn't need a hand, a single breath would suffice."

Na Du Tong Backbone Feng Baobao: "Oh my god, so powerful!"

Zui Ai He Shounai: "Liu Shen is invincible, Liu Shen is invincible!"

At this moment, Shi Hao was like a joyful child, constantly cheering Liu Shen on, even though they were not currently on the same plane.

Girl Ruthless: "Powerhouses from before the ages are truly formidable."

Immortal King Anlan: "That is a must. Before the ages, the cultivation system was so prosperous and flourishing. But because the battles at the Immortal King level were too terrifying, the heavens and earth shattered into countless fragments, and the Laws were also worn away and incomplete."

Zui Ai He Shounai: "Sister Ruthless, you will surpass them sooner or later."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Indeed, little sister Ruthless. With your talent, who could possibly compare to you."

Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction: "However, there is a problem now, and that is how will this battle of Liu Shen end? Even if Liu Shen can defeat three Undying Kings, it is impossible to retreat unscathed."

Immortal King Anlan: "That is not much of a problem. Since both I and Liu Shen are part of history, why not let me help Liu Shen achieve glory, killing in and out seven times."

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "??"

Diviner: "Anlan, you are an Undying King of the Foreign Realm, right? You are really trying hard to whitewash yourself."

Immortal King Anlan: "One cannot put it that way; I simply do not wish for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Foreign Realm to be drenched in blood."

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "Not bad, not bad, this is a great Merit, Infinite Heavenly Venerable, uh, Amitabha."

Immortal King Anlan: "Hehe, ever since I met Xuan Ge, you have seemed like my guiding light, allowing me, who was lost in the Darkness, to find the direction forward and the meaning of existence."

Demon Queen: "This flattery is truly Absolute!"

Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "Immortal Kings are human too!"

Bad Commander: "This is all just worldly wisdom!"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "So, An Lao Liu, how do you plan to help Liu Shen? You can't possibly show your face personally, right?"

Immortal King Anlan: "Of course I won't show my face personally. Have you forgotten? I just cursed Kundi to death; now I am simply repeating the same trick."

"What do you think would happen if, during the battle, I gave the Demon Phoenix, the Demon White Tiger, and the Demon Dragon one Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book each?"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Damn, isn't this just adding a reverse buff? An Lao Liu, you really are a Diliu."

Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction: "Xiu'er, is that you? An Lao Liu, I would like to call you the strongest in the Infernal Affairs!"

Dance King of the Shinobi World: "..."

Immortal King Anlan: "Everything is for the future of this ancient history."

As the words fell, Anlan stabbed four needles into each of the three straw effigies before him, with every needle pinning down their three souls and seven spirits.

The strength of the Demon White Tiger, the Demon Phoenix, and the Demon Dragon could not compare to Kundi, so after being struck by the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book, their reactions were even greater.

It was at that very moment that the Fallen Immortal Phoenix, the Demon White Tiger, and the Demon Dragon—the three Undying Kings currently in the heat of battle—suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded, their waists trembling as if they had been hollowed out, their entire essence and Qi seemingly drained in an instant, leaving them riddled with openings.
