Chapter 93 The End
All living creatures in the Imperial Pass were silent.
The originally excited and joyful scene as Jiang Jue returned with the besieged clans from the borderland and the Imperial City disappeared. After learning that two of the seven kings had died in the battle, a sense of despair enveloped the entire Imperial Pass.
Between heaven and earth, all things are silent, and the world exudes a sense of sadness, impacting all living beings.
The death of a king is a loss for a great world, and all races are saddened. What's more, it is a king like Bianhuang who has made great contributions to the protection of the great world, and one of them is an ancestor. You must know that it has been many years since the death of the last ancestor, the Fire King, and now there is another one missing.
This is an Immortal King. There are only a few of them born in an era. Since the death of Immortal King Jun Zhen, another Immortal King has fought to death. Although this generation of Fire King is not an Immortal King, all creatures respect him as a king because of his great military exploits. His powerful strength has annihilated many immortals from foreign lands, and he has fought bloody battles with the Immortal King to the extreme many times. He is also one of the most powerful creatures in the world.
Woohoo...
In the original imperial city, all the clans in the borderland, no matter which lineage they came from, were crying. The seven kings’ ancestors shared the same hatred and were not only comrades-in-arms but also best brothers. They rose together in the borderland, and countless descendants intermarried. They had long been indistinguishable from each other. Every king was their belief and every ancestor was their common ancestor.
These ancestors also regarded the countless clans in the border areas as their own people.
The wailing has not stopped since the fall of the Fire King. Some children do not know what has happened, but the resonance from their blood lets them know that their loved ones have died and the source of their blood is extinguished. The sadness infects all the tribesmen.
"The First Ancestor and the Fire King have fallen. Why is God so cruel?"
"The ancestor was robbed, the Fire King was killed, what should our clan do?"
Many clans in the borderland regard dying in battle as the highest honor, but who can remain calm when their king truly dies? However, some immortal figures do not express excessive grief like their less humane tribesmen. When they reach the immortal path, they have already let go of life and death. From the moment they set foot on the immortal path, they must be prepared for a burial on the road. Some ancient immortals even experienced the death of their previous ancestor, the Fire King.
The ancestral altar of the Primitive Imperial City has gathered a group of masters from the primitive ancient world, and battle flags representing various tribes are lined up around it.
The Immortal Monk King, Jiang Jue, Chi Ling, and many other powerful immortal figures did not leave either, to see the two kings off. All races could enjoy the peaceful years because of the existence of the Seven Kings of the Borderland. No matter what, many clans were grateful for this.
Jiang Jue also noticed a tall middle-aged man not far from the Stone King. He had a calm face and long golden hair draped behind him.
Although the aura disappeared, Jiang Jue could feel the opponent's power. The will of the World Tree was extraordinary. After all, this was the sacred tree where the civilization of Yingdajie was born. It was more sensitive to the strong breath of life than other immortal kings. The opponent not only possessed the body of a king, but his soul was also about to reach the pinnacle. If there was anyone who could impact the king realm in this era, this person would definitely be on the list.
The next moment, Jiang Jue understood what was going on when he saw the flag behind the other party.
That is the battle flag of the Cricket Clan, so the man in front of him must be the Cricket Ancestor without a doubt.
"No wonder he has such strength?"
Jiang Jue was filled with emotion.
The Cricket Clan also practices the Great Dao of Time and Space. One controls space, the other controls time. Their terrifying secret method can seal all time and space, which even the king cannot perceive. They are extremely powerful among the Ten Evils.
Shi Wang and others were besieged by a foreign army. The two men had a close relationship, so it was reasonable for this Cricket Ancestor to take action.
Among the ancient monks, there are several enlightened monks who chant scriptures for the dead. They not only cultivate in this life, but also believe in the afterlife. They cannot cross to the other side in this world, so they will continue their cultivation in the next life until perfection. Some ancient monks even believe that the relics they leave behind will naturally find their next life and merge into it.
The Stone King, Peng King, Human King, Azure Dragon King and other clans from the Borderland watched as the White Tiger King placed the body of the Vermillion Bird King on the altar, where not only were there the bodies of many human masters and several immortal corpses, but also the body of the Fire King.
Led by the Stone King and others, all living creatures stared at the two kings and the deceased in the altar for a long time and could not calm down.
On the ground, in addition to the Fire King's Yin Yang Fire Flag, the broken Vermillion Bird Flag and Vermillion Bird Realm were also placed aside. These were the ancient artifacts of the Vermillion Bird King, which had been broken in the battle. Moreover, the Border Wasteland Clan had countless battle flags, among which the Yin Yang Fire Flag, the Vermillion Bird Flag, the Azure Dragon Heaven Suppressing Flag, the White Tiger Flag, the Great Wasteland Flag, etc. were the most dazzling. These were the flags of the Seven Kings, dominating the Ten Thousand Realms.
Now, two royal flags have fallen, and only five of the seven kings of the Borderland are left. Perhaps a new king will rise soon, but it is also possible that these two battle flags will sink into ancient history.
Since ancient times, after the death of each ancestor, the title of the Seven Kings has been inherited by the strongest of the clan. It is really possible that one may not be able to inherit the title. Although a king cannot involve certain cause and effect like an emperor, one cannot be king casually. Not only does one need to have outstanding military exploits, but one also needs to be strong to a certain degree. Otherwise, it is not an honor but a shame. It is better to let the title of king become history than to let a person who cannot take responsibility be king. Moreover, it is impossible for there to be only one king in the original work and later generations.
"Don't be too sad. They died on the road to glory. According to their last wishes, we will integrate them into the Imperial City. I hope that the descendants of our clan will remember their achievements and use them as an example."
The Stone King spoke, and asked the Suzaku King, the Fire King, and even the tribesmen in the human realm to melt their bodies into the Imperial City to reinforce the city.
"Everyone, we are trapped. Thank you for your rescue. The Bianhuang Clan is grateful."
An unknown amount of time had passed before the Stone King looked at the masters in the ancestral altar and spoke. Although two of the Seven Kings died in this battle, there were still many people who managed to survive.
As long as you are alive, there is hope, which is very important for the younger generation of the clan.
"King Shi, you are too polite. The seven kings of Border Wasteland have made great contributions to the Primitive Ancient World and have made great military achievements. How can we just sit back and watch?"
"Unfortunately, it's still a step too late. The Suzaku King and the Fire King have fallen, and I am deeply saddened."
Everyone spoke up. The ancestral spirit of the primitive ancient world had gone away and had not returned since. The other king of the dragon clan seemed to have gone to another domain. There was also a king who had attained the immortal gold realm. It was not until the immortal domain sent troops that they had the opportunity to break through the defense line and rescue the Stone King and others.
This was all thanks to the ferocious and invincible King Qingjue who defeated King Chi and broke through the defense line. Otherwise, they would not have been able to successfully rescue them in such a short time. Unfortunately, it was too late and they suffered heavy losses.
However, the situation in the foreign land is not much better. News has come that although the Red King has been found, his Taoist injuries have erupted and he may not be born in this era. The Immortal King Ye Huan has also been suppressed by the Qing Jue King.
Thinking of this moment, many people looked at the handsome black figure again and felt deeply moved.
King Qing Jue made three moves, suppressing three immortal kings and dominating the world. Such powerful strength and record made all living beings feel extremely awed. Invisibly, Jiang Jue has been regarded as a true leader by all the creatures of the primitive ancient world. If the Immortal King Wuzhong and the Immortal King Lunhui were not there, his will might have run through the entire primitive ancient world.
"Although several kings have returned, they were seriously injured in the battle, and many of their clansmen need to recuperate. We will not disturb them any further. We will discuss this matter after Immortal King Wuzhong and Immortal King Lunhui return."
"Yes, the foreign land will not give up. There may be a bigger war next. We need to prepare in advance."
Several ancient True Immortals spoke up. They were all elders from various clans, highly respected and virtuous, and they were also in charge of the border defense mission at the Imperial Pass.
"In that case, we will not try to keep you here. We will come to thank you in the future."
The White Tiger King spoke, saying that after a great battle, many of the tribesmen did need to recuperate, and even the foreigners would definitely need to recuperate for a period of time. Many of the other side’s immortal kings were also injured, and it would probably be impossible for them to come and knock on the gate in a short period of time.
After a long time, everyone slowly left the original imperial city, and the Immortal Monk King also returned to the Xumi Realm with many masters of the ancient monk lineage.
The plan to rescue the seven kings of the Border Wasteland finally came to an end. The masters of each tribe were in seclusion. In this battle, many people from both sides were seriously injured. However, Jiang Jue and Chi Ling did not suffer any injuries.
Chi Ling's magical powers were incredible, and he did not suffer much damage in the battle. In Jiang Jue's previous battle, only Chi Wang could hurt him.
Afterwards, although Shen Rong, Di Xin and Yu Wangsan were very powerful and even joined forces to attack, Jiang Jue might not have been able to defeat the three so quickly in the past, especially with the sharpshooter Shen Rong, he might have been in a stalemate. However, the sublimated Jiang Jue and these immortal kings had begun to open up a very obvious gap, and it felt like he was invincible.
Perhaps, only if the Red King leads several Immortal Kings to attack at the same time can they threaten him.
On this day, all matters at the Imperial Pass were settled, and Jiang Jue was about to return to the restricted area, but the Stone King suddenly came to visit him.
"Fellow Daoist Qingjue, please don't blame me for coming here uninvited. It will take some time for Immortal King Wuzhong and Immortal King Lunhui to return. Why don't you come to my clan to have a chat?"
The Stone King spoke.
"How can it be considered a disturbance if the Stone King invited me personally?"
Jiang Jue spoke.
After the two men stepped out of the altar, King Qinglong and Chi Ling also came from another secret realm. Several kings of the borderland invited the two at the same time.
"This time, our clan was able to escape danger thanks to Fellow Daoist Qingjue. It's a rare opportunity for you to gather with our clan, so let us do our part as a host. I think everyone in our clan would also like to see the true face of our benefactor."
King Shi spoke up and expressed his gratitude for Jiang Jue's decision to enter the primitive ancient world and provide a lot of help. Now, King Qing Jue is dominating a large world and even rescued them. So he has not lost out.
Many people in the Original Imperial City have only seen Jiang Jue's stunning appearance, but still don't know Jiang Jue's true appearance.
Moreover, Jiang Jue is the master of the forbidden area, and he has been integrated into the primitive ancient times for more than one million years. The Stone King has sent people to invite Jiang Jue many times, but unfortunately, he is either in seclusion or away, making it difficult for him to meet and discuss Taoism with other immortal kings.
However, this is indeed the style of the Immortal King. Apart from breaking through the king realm, there is little in this world that can attract the attention of the king. Except for a few kings guarding the border, whether in the primitive ancient world or the fairyland, too many Immortal Kings choose to close their lives and deaths. The era does not change and the king's traces are not visible.
"Yes, everyone in our clan is very grateful to Brother Qingjue, and we hope to invite you to our clan for a chat."
"Moreover, a group of Taoist friends from the Immortal Realm will soon descend on the Imperial Pass. It would be nice for Taoist Qingjue to meet them."
The Stone King spoke again.
"Is it the fairyland?"
Jiang Jue thought that the arrival of the king of the fairyland was indeed worth seeing, because now he did have the idea of going to the fairyland.
Back when he was in the Sea of Boundaries, he was taught the World-Destroying Fist by the Immortal King Tan Tai, one of the founders of the Immortal Realm. He has not forgotten that man's last wish and hopes to find his descendants and protect them.
Now, his strength has undergone tremendous changes, and it will certainly be difficult for the foreign land to start a war in a short period of time. The time has come. It would be better to contact some kings of the fairyland in advance and inquire about everything in the fairyland, so that he won't have to look for it blindly when the time comes.
Quite a few people should know about the ruins of the old heaven in the fairyland, and the fairy king should have at least some knowledge of the founders of the fairyland.
"That's fine. I have long admired the kings of the Immortal Realm."
"please!"
In the original imperial city, Stone King led the way, taking Jiang Jue and Chi Ling towards the ancestral temple.
It would be more appropriate to describe this primitive imperial city as a world, with many secret realms, mountains and rivers. In the original novel, it has persisted since the destruction of the ancient immortal world until the end of the next era, so you can imagine how big this place is.
"Hurry, get ready, King Chiling and King Qingjue are coming to visit our clan."
"The two kings have arrived. This is a grand event and no mistakes can be made."
In the Imperial City, everyone became busy when they knew that Jiang Jue and others were coming to visit.
King Qingjue has done great favors for the Bianhuang clan, and as an Immortal King, it is a great honor for him to descend on a clan. The place where the Immortal King stands is very rich in the Dao of heaven and earth, which is of great help to cultivation. Many clans want the Immortal King to descend on their ancestral land but are unable to do so.
It is also fortunate that they have the Immortal King. It is difficult for ordinary clans to receive the arrival of an Immortal King, and they do not even have the qualifications to have an equal dialogue.
In fact, there is more than one coming this time, including the Chi Ling King. Each of them is powerful enough to make the immortal kings of foreign lands be on high alert, especially the Qing Jue King, who is so powerful that the foreign lands are terrified.
On the ancient road, there were many true immortals lined up, and many cultivators from the human realm were crowded together. Groups of young people were lying on the ground, staring ahead, wanting to witness the true appearance of the two kings.
"Oh, which of those two big brothers is Master Qingjue?"
A baby lying on the ground suddenly spoke.
"The one in purple is Lord Chiling, and the one in black is Lord Qingjue. Mother and father have said that we must remember that they are all benefactors of our clan and must not be forgotten. We must treat them well."
A slightly older boy at the side spoke up.
"Oh? ... Then I can give the most delicious beast milk to Master Qingjue."
Milkman seemed to have made a difficult decision. After all, animal milk was indeed the best thing for him at the moment.
Not long after, several people stepped into an ancient red-gold palace.
For many consecutive days, Jiang Jue and Chi Ling were in the ancestral temple talking with several kings of the borderland.
Even soon after, rumors spread that King Qingjue had left his own decree in the ancestral temple.
