Beyond the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there is the border between the original ancient world, the Burial Realm, and the Foreign Realm.
This place has been the frontal battlefield for several epochs where nine heavens and ten lands have fought against armies from foreign lands. It is a place of true extinction and desolation.
He Mu stepped out from the Infinite Sky and appeared here.
He didn't pay attention to the majestic Imperial Pass behind him. Although the Imperial Pass was majestic and not a showy thing, its defensive significance was mainly in the human realm. For the stronger True Immortal, the now-broken Imperial Pass was not worth mentioning. Not much of a threat.
As for defending against the Immortal King, that is even more impossible. If Tianyuan hadn't stood between the two realms and hindered the Immortal King's attack, Jiutian would have been destroyed overnight, and there would be no peace in this era.
Now, with his back to the Imperial Pass, his gaze went directly across the vast abyss and toward an ancient city floating in it.
It was a huge city that looked very old. The city walls were covered with mottled traces of time, showing a sense of weather and frost. The top of the city was also deserted, with almost no one coming or going.
Thanks to the fact that the ancient city is suspended in the sky, the upper and lower sides of the city are shrouded in dense formation runes. It is not a fake, but a genuine immortal killing formation, with majestic power surging in it. There is a powerful person in the immortal way presiding over it, and it is even enough to block the pace of the existence of the immortal king, which is really magical.
As long as you look at the city, there will be a chilling air rushing towards your face, shocking your heart. At the same time, there is a great majesty permeating the top of the city, spreading between the heaven and the earth, and vaguely, it seems to be a bit like an immortal king!
This is the legend that has been circulating in Jiutianbian Huangdi Pass for an era. In the mouths of the soldiers at the border pass, they call it——
The legendary city.
Of course, in more ancient times, this ancient fortified city floating in the abyss of heaven had a more glorious name, which once resounded throughout the heavens:
The original imperial city! !
This place is the ultimate goal of He Mu's trip, and the faint Immortal King Qi coming from the city is the ancient immortal friend He Mu wants to meet on this trip, and he is also the only one of the seven kings of the Borderlands who still exists.
He Mu has already sensed which of the seven kings he is from the great aura of this city——
The ancient ancestor of the Jiutian Fire Clan, an old guest in the Zixiao Palace, one of the frontier generals of the ancient Immortal Era, the Fire King!
…
Outside the original imperial city, He Mu stood quietly in the void. He did not go straight into the ancient city, but waited for the city's reaction.
The nature of this city is very special. Over the long years of an era, due to the deliberate promotion of the Fire King, it has almost completely blended with Tianyuan and existed as a whole.
As for the Fire King himself, as the formation of the original imperial city itself, it was also integrated with the ancient city and could not escape easily.
In this way, the original imperial city posed a greater threat to the immortal king of the foreign land.
If there is an immortal king who wants to forcefully break into Tianyuan and knock on the Nine Heavens, he will inevitably be suppressed by the original imperial city and the entire Tianyuan.
You must know that this is an offensive personally presided over by a crippled Immortal King, not a dead thing without any ideas. If it really breaks out with all its strength, it will still bleed even at the extreme, and it will cost a lot!
Even giants cannot escape unscathed!
This is also the reason why, in the long years since the original time and space, Foreign Realm has not been able to start a full-scale war with Jiutian again, and only dared to rely on Anlan and Wushang at the end of the era.
Of course, this kind of integration has naturally blocked He Mu's steps now.
Even if He Mu has now half-stepped into the realm of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor, it would be difficult for him to force his way into such a primitive imperial city.
After all, under the premise of integrating Tianyuan, the ancient city, and the Fire King, if He Muqiang entered the original imperial city, it would be tantamount to destroying the entire Tianyuan, destroying this real "grand pass" that has hindered the foreign land for eternity, and also destroying it. Kill the Fire King, the actual formation eye.
Unless one day, He Mu truly breaks through to the quasi-immortal emperor realm, instead of being able to only observe some of the emperor's magical powers from a distance as he is now, will he be qualified to try micro-manipulation. Without killing the leader of the formation, the Fire King, Bad Qu Tianyuan's various arrangements.
…
Fortunately, when He Mu arrived this time, although he restrained his divine power, he never concealed his own energy.
Therefore, the moment he arrived, the Fire King in the original imperial city felt it, and his eyes flashed with excitement.
However, he was too weak to welcome He Mu personally, so he could only ask the descendants in the city to open the city gate and go to welcome God.
Soon, light bloomed on the original imperial city, paving it into a golden avenue. He Mu stepped on it and entered the original imperial city. Under the excited eyes of the descendants of the seven tribes in the city, Walking into the deepest part of the ancient city, I met the Fire King.
The moment he saw the Fire King, He Mu was speechless. The situation of the former junior in front of him was even more tragic than he expected.
At this moment, in He Mu's eyes, the Fire King's body was covered with terrible scars, which were cut with knives and axes, and could be described as a bloody mess.
Wisps of immortal power are eroding the body of this former descendant. They are the legacy of the Immortal King, suppressing the origin of the former Immortal King's body, making it impossible for him to return to his peak state again.
This was not over yet. He Mu took a closer look and found that the Fire King's spirit had been torn apart. Even if the Fire King achieved nirvana with the method of the Immortal King, it was useless to try to heal the horrific injuries on his spirit. Penetrating cracks filled his soul, making people suspect that his soul might collapse or explode at any time.
It can be said that the Fire King in front of him is almost at the end of his life. Compared with the normal Immortal King's Qi and blood, his Qi and blood are as unstable as a candle and may be extinguished at any time.
In the original time and space, the Fire King could persist until the foreign land finally closed the Nine Heavens. It has to be said that it is really a miracle created by faith!
…
The Fire King naturally saw He Mu's silence. He also knew what He Mu was probably thinking now, but he didn't take it seriously.
After all, he is not the only Immortal King who has dedicated everything to Jiutian. He Mu is also the legend of Jiutian in the past. A respite?
He struggled to get up and pay homage to He Mu, but the injury was too severe after all. It was so severe that even an Immortal King could not straighten his back. He could only barely hold his hands in his arms, and then said in a weak but firm voice.
"Huo Zhi, ahem... I've seen God!"
Even though the Fire King's voice was already very weak, He Mu still heard a sense of excitement and excitement in it, which made him feel emotional and ups and downs in his heart.
As the Fire King finished speaking, He Mu calmed down and finally spoke.
"For an era, you are the only one left to hold on to this place, Huo Zhi, thank you for your hard work."
"Now that I have returned, I should take over the banner of Jiutian again. From now on, you can rest."
He Mu's voice was very soft, but in the empty hall, it sounded unusually clear, making the Fire King's eyes shine with excitement, and then there was a lightness of relief, with an indescribable sense of relief. feel.
The reason why I was excited was because the Infinite God was once their common guide to the seven frontier kings. He was also the idol of the young man and their leader after enlightenment.
Even though the Fire King was already the king now, He Mu's recognition and encouragement still greatly inspired him and made his heart feel hot.
As for relaxation and relief, this is also not difficult to understand.
After an era of hard work and fighting alone, even the Immortal King was tired and even exhausted. Now He Mu's arrival gave him hope of relief.
"If God can return from the realm of death and carry the banner of the Nine Heavens again, there will be a day when our world will be prosperous again and the foreign lands will be liquidated! Ahem... Huo Zhi will have no regrets in dying!"
"In the future, I also hope that God can personally cut off the head of the old thief Kundi, and avenge the ancient blood feud for all my comrades and for me in the Nine Heavens. Ahem..."
The Fire King said, his face flushed, and he was obviously extremely excited.
The Fire King was so excited that it actually affected his own injuries, making the already bad situation become even worse.
Fortunately, He Mu was at the side, and he stopped the Fire King in time. Immediately afterwards, the incomparably mellow power of the Dao was poured into the Fire King, suppressing the Daoshang who was about to riot, and at the same time trying to expel the Daoist. The immortal energy, like a maggot attached to a bone, healed the Fire King's already riddled body.
"Cough cough cough..."
The Fire King coughed violently for a while and finally stopped the overwhelming feeling in his body. Then he reached out and put his hand on He Mu's forearm and spoke to dissuade him.
"God, I am already a dying person, and I have no way to save myself. Please don't waste your great power on me anymore..."
But He Mu remained unmoved and continued to deliver the source of the avenue into the Fire King's body to suppress the latter's injuries.
Then, he spoke again, but this time, He Mu's voice was tinged with anger, and he scolded Huo Wangdao for being restless in receiving treatment.
"I told you to rest, I didn't tell you to sit still! Why don't you cooperate with me to heal your injuries quickly?!"
"Besides, who said that you are about to die? It's just a minor injury. Although it's a little more difficult, you can still be saved. Why are you in such a hurry to seek death?!"
"In the future, you have to watch with your own eyes as I conquer foreign lands in nine days and settle the consequences of the past. As the leader of the frontier wilderness, you should be the pioneer of our world. Do you understand?!"
He Mu's scolding seemed to be angry, but it was full of care for the younger generation.
Hearing this, the Fire King himself was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes filled with intense disbelief.
But He Mu is the Infinite God, so how could the Infinite God trick people? That is the eternal myth and immortal legend of Jiutian!
Therefore, after coming back to his senses, a joy appeared in the Fire King's eyes instead of the original disbelief.
"Huo Zhi takes the order and obeys God's decree!"
In my setting, the Seven Kings of the Bianhuang and the Eight Heavenly Lords are all junior characters in the protagonist, similar to half a disciple, so they are not considered Taoist friends. The protagonist is equivalent to the Immortal Ancient Kundi, which is the real sense. Seniors, you don’t need to be serious about some terminology issues in communication.
