The beginning of the game "The King of Heroes"

Chapter 627 Imperial Pass, Heavenly Emperor Strikes

Qin Tian gazed into the distance: "Since the Second Best in the World and the Immortal Golden Daoist have both been resurrected..."

"We must save these seven border kings in the Imperial Pass, no matter what!"

Qin Tian looked at the Borderland Imperial Pass, a city that was not very large. It was built of ancient stone and reinforced with the Immortal King Array, forming the legendary primitive imperial city that would never fall.

Before the imperial pass built by later generations, this original imperial city, which would never fall, floated above the abyss, protecting the heavens from the invasion of foreign lands.

This legendary city stands there desolate and lonely, and you can feel the mottled marks of war from a distance.

It is a soul, a spirit, an invincible will that has endured the flames of war and been imbued with immortal blood, an immortal soul that has never fallen in a hundred battles.

Although the soldiers here are mostly old, weak, sick, or disabled, these very beings have managed to withstand the attacks from the alien realm time and time again. Among them are many immortals who attempted to breach the pass, were shot down, and transformed into eternally burning suns, becoming the suspended energy of the Imperial Pass.

Beneath this city, countless billions of lives perished—all cultivators, all warriors, each possessing immense magical power.

"These are the soldiers I crave," Qin Tian thought, deeply moved as he watched the scene unfold.

With such fighting spirit and such a fighting soul, it's no wonder that quasi-immortal emperors like Jiu Daoyi will appear later.

The eight hundred disciples of Stone Village are mostly local creatures. In the original story, before the destruction of the Primal Imperial City, Shi Hao brought the descendants of the Seven Kings back to Stone Village.

These children were the precursors to the eight hundred disciples of Stone Village, and perhaps that Nine Paths One Quasi-Immortal Emperor is even currently in the Primordial Imperial Pass.

Compared to the children of Stone Village, the descendants of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands in the Imperial Pass are undoubtedly stronger. They possess the most tenacious will and the strongest bloodline. They have consumed exotic flesh and blood since birth, and although they look thin and bony, they are powerful.

Qin Tian took a step forward and arrived before this ancient city, at this magnificent pass that stood an era before this foreign land.

Before him were piles of burning skeletons, like torches, burning with pale red divine flames. This was the Immortal Array, which had been burning here since the early Chaotic Ancient Era, providing energy for that Imperial Pass.

At this moment, several children appeared on the city wall. They ranged in age from eight or nine to fifteen or sixteen. Their faces were dirty and their clothes were tattered.

They asked in a long voice, "Who are you?!"

"In accordance with the ancient covenant, I have come to support you," Qin Tian said calmly.

"A covenant? Does anyone still remember a covenant?"

"Are you all alone?" an elderly man with only one arm asked, his voice filled with undisguised disappointment.

"What can one person do?" The others also hung their heads in dejection, their cloudy eyes filled with disappointment.

"You should leave as soon as possible!" The one-armed old man sighed, "We appreciate your kindness."

"But hell lies ahead; you need not go any further."

"We're enough here!"

Qin Tian said solemnly, "You should also have enough confidence in those who come after you."

"Now that I have come here to support you, I have enough confidence to fight against the alien lands."

"I alone am worth the entire Immortal Realm." Qin Tian stretched out his arms, embracing the entire universe.

"Comparable to the Immortal Realm... That's a lie." The dark-skinned children looked doubtful. Although they were young and lived in difficult conditions, they were not lacking in scriptures and knowledge.

The Immortal Realm is a vast world far surpassing the Nine Heavens and other realms, incredibly powerful. How could anyone compare to it with their own strength?

Qin Tian smiled without saying a word. The next moment, wisps of majestic aura surged around him, landing on the Imperial Pass and triggering the highest level of warning.

"You are... a Celestial King."

There was a king in the Imperial Pass, so the beings there had seen a true immortal king and naturally recognized what kind of existence Qin Tian was.

That magnificent and sacred aura, that energy that made the Emperor Pass weep, all spoke of his identity and demonstrated his earth-shattering Dao attainment.

"Another king has been born in my Nine Heavens?!"

"But I didn't sense that earth-shattering phenomenon?" The one-armed old man hesitated. A breakthrough for a Celestial King always involves a great calamity, which can be sensed by more than one realm.

However, they did not sense that aura.

"You are truly the Celestial King of my Nine Heavens!" the one-armed old man exclaimed in disbelief.

"Absolutely genuine!" Qin Tian said confidently, showing great tolerance towards these veterans: "I wasn't the only one providing support this time."

"The rest of my fellow Daoists are on their way; they are all very famous and important figures."

"You might even get to know each other."

"The other fellow Daoists?" The one-armed old man was taken aback. What kind of being could be on brotherhood with a Celestial King?
"After sleeping for so many years, it's time to wake up!" Qin Tian's voice pierced through the Imperial Pass and reached the innermost secret chamber.

Clearly, the aura emanating from his disguise also had an effect on this Imperial Pass. As the former leader of the Nine Heavens, he had once graced this primordial Imperial Pass with his presence, commanding all the immortals and fighting against the alien realm.

Inside the secret chamber, a king opened his eyes, a hint of shock flashing in his weary gaze.

"It's him? He's alive again?"

"Could it be that we've really traversed the legendary cycle of reincarnation?!"

The next moment, he appeared before the Imperial Pass.

"king!"

"How did you wake up!" the one-armed old man exclaimed in surprise.

"No need to be wary, our reinforcements have arrived!" One of the Seven Kings waved his hand, revealing a tired smile.

Everyone was stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

They waited an entire era for reinforcements, and they actually... came?!

Each soldier gripped their weapon tightly, tears welling in their eyes, their emotions complex and difficult to decipher.

"Open the city gates!" King Suzaku's hoarse voice rang out. "We welcome our comrades!"

This imperial pass, which had never been opened in an entire era, slowly opened its gates to welcome the arrival of the Immortal King.

As Qin Tian stepped into the primitive imperial city, boundless rosy light shone forth.
This was the initial design procedure for Imperial Pass, intended to welcome the arrival of the king.

It is both inspiring and intimidating to foreign lands.

In the distant ancient era of immortals, once all the celestial kings of the heavens gathered together, causing dozens of divine rays of light to rise from the primordial imperial city, dazzling and brilliant.

On that same day, the King of the Immortal Realm and the King of the Nine Heavens jointly bestowed upon the bloodlines of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands runes representing honor, adding a touch of legend to the Seven Clans of the Borderlands.

However, this auspicious glow was suppressed by Qin Tian before it could rise.

He needs to keep a low profile for now.

"Are you the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King?!" the Vermilion Bird King asked in a trembling voice.

Qin Tian nodded: "I've come to meet you!"

"According to the alliance, you can retreat to the rear to rest now."

Qin Tian patted the shoulder of the Seventh King of the Borderlands, and the power of creation surged forth, filling every corner of his body with the power of transforming soil into human form, probing his physical condition.

His physical condition was shocking, causing Qin Tian to frown. No wonder even An Lan couldn't withstand it; the immortal king's primordial spirit, which had been indestructible for countless eons, was on the verge of collapse, and was covered in scars left by the immortal king's magical artifacts.

Needless to say, his physical body was also affected, with one forbidden artifact after another inserted into his body, his flesh and blood being less than the number of weapons.

He could barely maintain even the quasi-immortal king realm.

"I'll heal your wounds!" Qin Tian said solemnly.

"You don't need to worry. I know my own situation. My foundation is broken, and there's no way to turn things around." King Suzaku shook his head; he knew his own situation.

The continuous battles that erupted during this era had already dried up his life essence, and his immortal king primordial spirit, which was indestructible through countless calamities, was on the verge of collapse.

"What's hopeless for others is not so for me!" Qin Tian said confidently.

Seeing that the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, who had returned from the cycle of reincarnation, was so confident, the Vermilion Bird King let him do as he pleased.

"Since this body is damaged, let's replace it with another one!" Qin Tian said with a hint of ease.

Then he used the Three Corpses Severing Technique to temporarily open the gate to the true spirit and reshape a physical body and primordial spirit for him.

A surge of innate creative power, the mighty force of the supreme Dao, transferred his mind and Dao fruit into another body.

"The body of a Creation Immortal King is somewhat tiring," Qin Tian said, wiping non-existent sweat from his forehead.

Creating a physical body for the Celestial King shouldn't have been so difficult, since he could bring the dead back to life and reincarnate.

However, the Vermilion Bird King's situation was too special. His primordial spirit and physical body were fragile, and his mind was exhausted to the extreme.

This made Qin Tian extremely careful, afraid of hurting his feelings and causing irreparable damage, such as amnesia.

"It seems that even I, now, do not fully understand the human body." Only now did Qin Tian realize that, apart from the true spirit, he also did not fully understand the mind in the field of the human body, making it difficult to evolve.

"Indeed, the great path requires constant practice in order to find its flaws and room for improvement."

"This feeling... is so comfortable. I haven't experienced anything like it in an entire era." King Suzaku squinted, feeling as if he were soaking in a hot spring, with every part of his body and soul feeling comfortable.

Soon, a series of snoring sounds came from the Vermilion Bird King. His physical body and his primordial spirit were in perfect harmony, his mind was calm, and he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Although both the primordial spirit and physical body have been restored, the mind is too exhausted.

Since the beginning of the Chaotic Ancient Era, this Immortal King has hardly had a proper rest.

Even though the Celestial King can wage war for a thousand years without stopping, the Vermilion Bird King experienced not a thousand years, but a full era.

The weariness accumulated over countless ages, previously suppressed by pain, now surged up all at once, allowing this celestial king to sleep soundly like a mortal.

"sleep tight!"

"With me at the Imperial Pass, there's no need to worry." Qin Tian lightly tapped the void, conjuring up all things and creating pollen particles that spread like smoke and mist throughout the Imperial Pass, plunging everyone into a dreamlike state.

This is the result of Qin Tian's research on pollen pathways.

The path of creation carries the pollen, following the rules of a certain era in the past. All things and phenomena can be flowers, and can release spiritual particles.

As the power of creation surged, countless pollen particles poured into the bodies of living beings.

This existence is more powerful than the most sacred divine matter.

During sleep, all the hidden injuries of each person are completely eliminated.

"Sweet dreams, everyone!" Qin Tian said to all the soldiers of the Imperial Pass.

This was the quietest day in the entire Imperial Pass, with all the soldiers sleeping peacefully.

Their originally emaciated bodies became strong and robust under the transformation of the creation particles.

Elderly people who had suffered physical defects and whose essence was damaged and difficult to recover from were also restored under the power of the Immortal King, as if they had been reborn.

The original inhabitants of Diguan fell into a deep slumber.

Qin Tian temporarily took over this imperial city.

One hand holds up the Imperial Pass, maintaining this divine city that will never fall, resisting the seemingly endless tide of soldiers from the outside world.

For the foreign lands, as the victors, this ancient city that will never fall is undoubtedly a disgrace.

Therefore, after the alien realm recovered its vitality in this era, it has been trying to knock this city down from the sky, and there have been many near-immortal kings who have taken action.

But they were all repelled, and for a whole era they never fell to the enemy's forces.

"The alien army is almost here." Qin Tian casually killed an immortal with a flick of his wrist, and amidst the terrified gazes of the army, he raised the Primal Imperial Pass.

"The aliens are still persistent!" Qin Tian looked towards the edge of the desert, where another epic battle had broken out.

At this moment, the awakened Vermilion Bird King appeared beside Qin Tian. Following his gaze, he saw the supreme genius standing in the center of the battlefield, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Who is he?" the Vermilion Bird King inquired.

Qin Tian replied, "My younger brother is also a descendant of the Stone Clan!"

"Oh, the pride of my clan!"

"I need to take a good look at this!" King Suzaku's eyes lit up.

Although he is the Vermilion Bird King, the seven tribes of the borderlands are closely connected, and wives and daughters are chosen from among the seven tribes, so their bloodlines have long been integrated.

The descendants of the Stone Clan definitely have the blood of the other six clans flowing in their veins.

The two watched as Shi Hao displayed his divine power while discussing the situation in the foreign land.

"Soon, Anlan from another realm will come knocking on our gates. What are your plans, fellow Daoist?"

"I will follow your arrangements, fellow Daoist." The Vermilion Bird King waved his hand, indicating that this old man would follow Qin Tian.

Such a promise would be astonishing to all living beings in the Immortal Ancient Era. You must know that the kings of the Immortal Ancient Era were all extremely arrogant, and even Liu Dao and Wu Zhong could not control the power of the entire Nine Heavens.

That's why they were attacked one by one. Like the True Dragon and the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, they were all beaten to death when one of them faced multiple Immortal Kings.

In fact, this is a common problem in all realms; both the Immortal Realm and other realms have similar issues to varying degrees.

We're both Celestial Kings, both indestructible through countless eons. You can't kill me, so why should I submit to you?

The Immortal Realm has the most traitorous Immortal Kings, and also the most conflicts. Among them, the alien realm has the least problems and is the most united, while the Nine Heavens Immortal Kings are the most arrogant, the most disobedient, and have the worst relationships.

For example, the conflict between Gu Zu and Shi Wang was quite significant.

The conflict was so great that when the Stone King went to block the path of the Gu Zu, everyone else thought it was reasonable.

Otherwise, if the gu ancestor had betrayed the realm on this pretext, he would not have gained the trust of the kings of other lands.

"I discussed it with a few fellow Daoists and we've decided to give An Lan a surprise." Qin Tian raised his hand, and various different Immortal King Qi circulated, representing the kings of the ancient immortal era.

"We plan to leave Anlan and Yutuo here."

"This is quite a surprise," King Suzaku exclaimed.
