Chapter 381

Although it was only my Immortal King realm self, facing a mere peak Immortal King was more than enough.

Undoubtedly, under the combined assault of myself, the man stepping on the tripod, and the master of the small tower, Anlan was forced back step by step, even the Original Imperial City could no longer hold firm.

Although during the fight Anlan kept making sarcastic remarks...

What is the peak of immortals, what is pride in the world? Where I, Anlan, am, there is heaven! Crimson Spear, Undying Shield, slay all Immortal Kings, annihilate the nine heavens! True强者 never believe in reincarnation or such nonsense.

But each time I crushed him forcefully, and finally, under threat of death, he screamed for Yu Tuo to save him.

What a pity—if not for the weakening power of this drop of Immortal Emperor blood, even against Anlan and Yu Tuo, I would have been confident in keeping them all here.

Just as I thought...

I had driven them back, and this great battle was about to end, when Anlan struck again!

Taking advantage of the fading power of this drop of blood, he reached his hand into the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, directly snatching away the Sin Province, along with Huo Ling'er beneath the Fire Mulberry Tree.

At this moment, I...

Was utterly enraged!

I could not accept that my beloved woman had been seized by Anlan—hadn't I promised her that when I returned, I would show her the splendor of the world?

This drove me mad; I fought with all my might to chase after the Sin Province, to recover Huo Ling'er—but in the end...

I still failed to protect the Sin Province!

And at this moment...

I clearly understood the paramount importance of strength; I swore to become a King, to ascend to the ultimate peak.

One day, I will go to the Foreign Lands to seek revenge on Anlan; I will reclaim the Sin Province, reclaim Huo Ling'er—then not even the Undying Kings of the Foreign Lands can stop me!

One World.

"This drop of blood is weird～"

On Long Hushan, Zhang Chulan's expression was strange: "This isn't just weird—it's utterly insane! Anlan still thinks it's nothing to worry about!"

Previously unaware of the origin of this drop of blood was one thing, but now that Zhang Chulan knew its origin, hearing Anlan's words...

He clearly couldn't hold it together—this was Immortal Emperor blood! Could he really call it "weird"?

"Nothing to worry about"? How dare he say such a thing!

Super Beast World.

"Whoa, this is insane!"

"Yeah, just one drop of blood grants Emperor Huang Tian such power—his gaze annihilates immortals!"

"This is a Road's End Immortal Emperor! And not even the true Road's End Immortal Emperor—yet already so insane. Wouldn't true Immortal Emperor blood just obliterate Anlan outright?"

Huo Huo Linfei and his group were utterly stunned.

This drop of Immortal Emperor blood was too insane, powerful even though they had already witnessed it before.

Seeing it again still stunned them—after all, that was a true immortal, slain by its gaze alone, capable of battling and even killing Undying Kings!

"Who dares call themselves invincible? Who dares claim never to fall? Not even in the Era of the Fallen Emperor! Only now do I understand why Emperor Huang Tian said this!"

On Wang Zuo, the God of Death also felt a pang of reflection.

At first, hearing these words, he found them baffling—the first two parts were fine, but the line about the Era of the Fallen Emperor felt abrupt!

But after learning Emperor Huang Tian's story, he finally understood why he said it.

Honkai: Star Rail World.

"Hahaha, this kills me!"

The God of Joy, Aha, was laughing uncontrollably: "Anlan is so ridiculous—getting beaten while trying to act tough, and even watching it again, I still can't hold back!"

Aha was truly delighted...

He hadn't laughed this hard in a long time!

Now that Anlan's humiliating scene has appeared again—especially the line "Yu Tuo, save me!"—it made him laugh until he was in pain, finding it utterly hilarious!

Dragon Ball World.

"Tsk, Anlan really pushed it too far!"

On the Planet of Destruction, Beerus dared to mock Anlan—after all, to him, Undying Kings were just so-so; strong, yes, but lacking in prestige!

And as for Anlan seizing Huo Ling'er...

This delighted him—he knew Anlan would pay dearly for it later.

"Eternal kneeling before the Sin Province? Not nearly enough!"

Beside him, the Angel Videl also smiled.

Honestly, in the entire Perfect Great World, only Anlan made Emperor Huang Tian harbor such hatred—the second and third most reckless offenders, Chi Wang and Ao Sheng...

Even combined, they didn't make Emperor Huang Tian hate them as much as Anlan—because he truly was the ultimate foolhardy one!

Perfect Great World.

"What a tragedy!"

In the Foreign Lands, Anlan was nearly broken.

He wanted to slap his future self across the face—why the hell did he have to be so reckless?

The Sin Province had no key to the Origin Ancient Artifact—there was no key at all! Why did he have to reach out and grab it? Now he's doomed himself!

"Anlan!"

In the Underworld's Forbidden Zone, Shi Hao's hatred for Anlan grew deeper—each replay of Huo Ling'er's abduction intensified his murderous intent.

One day, he would make Anlan pay—eternal kneeling before the Sin Province wouldn't be enough; it would have to be far more horrific!

The scene continued to shift:

【Afterward...】

【The Foreign Lands had not given up!】

They sent countless Supreme Ones from Imperial Clans, and even a near-ruined Immortal Venerable!

Had it not been for the Great Elder turning the tide, the Nine Heavens would surely have been in peril; yet even so, the Great Elder paid a price, and his hope of becoming an Immortal was shattered.

He was directly shrouded by darkness and vanished completely; this is a scene I shall never forget in my life.

For this reason, I made a vow in my heart...

The Nine Heavens and Ten Lands that the Great Elder fought to the death to protect—I must protect them well in his stead!

But what I did not expect was that, as the Borderland Imperial Pass battle ended, when I led eight hundred of my subordinates to return to the Lower Realm, we were suppressed by a Remnant Immortal of the Immortal Palace.

Remnant Immortal, Remnant Immortal; though it bears the character "remnant," this is far beyond what any expert in the Human Dao realm can compare to.

If only the Great Elder were still here...

With the Ten Realms Map, I would naturally have no fear; but now the Great Elder is gone, and I am merely at the Escape Unity Realm.

Therefore, even with the intervention of Nine Heavens Supreme Ones and experts from the Ever-Young Mountain, I was still crippled by the Remnant Immortal; he inflicted upon me the Zhe Xian Curse, a curse even Immortals can sever!

And as for the root cause...

It is nothing more than that I obtained the inheritance of the Kun Peng and hold the identity of a descendant of the Stone Clan, one of the Seven Kings of the Borderland.

Of course, there are also some reasons of my own, but none of these are grounds for him to attack me; in every single aspect, he was the one in the wrong from the start.

Ambushing the Kun Peng...

Slandering the Seven Kings of the Borderland...

The Seven Gods Descend to the Lower Realm, the Supreme Ones of the Immortal Palace, and others—they were merely coveting the many Divine Arts upon my person.

Now, with no one to protect me, and with my astonishing talent, they feared my rise; thus, they chose to bully the weak with the strong and cripple me.

But I will not give up; I believe I will not remain crippled like this, and I will surely return.

It is worth mentioning...

After I was crippled, the attitudes of all major powers shifted drastically, yet there was only one person who was different.

When all powers treated me with cold indifference, even stating outright that I was crippled, she unhesitatingly stayed by my side and descended to the Lower Realm with me to care for me.

And she is Yun Xi of the Heavenly Race; she never abandoned me, and even after I was crippled, she did not give up on me.

She even proactively formed a partnership with me!

After that...

Just as I returned to the Lower Realm...

I accidentally discovered a Life Forbidden Zone and was summoned by the Forbidden Zone Lord.

I became his disciple, and under the Forbidden Zone Lord's instruction, I used the power of the Zhe Xian Curse to corrupt myself, even accepting the erosion of darkness to assault the Supreme One realm.

Ultimately, I undoubtedly succeeded, breaking the five-hundred-year Supreme One curse and achieving the Supreme One realm at fifty years old!

And during this period...

The Nine Heavens and Ten Lands also underwent a strange transformation!
