Perfection: The Eastern Emperor Bell manifests, I am the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 19 The Great Dao Has Been Eradicated Again
He stared intently at Lu Xuan, his eyes filled with solemnity and a hint of apprehension.

The Chaos Golden Crow that Lu Xuan had transformed into had also suffered considerable loss of energy. The chaotic energy and solar fire surrounding his body had dimmed slightly, but the light in his pupils was becoming increasingly intense.

Through life-and-death battles with powerful figures like the Blade King, his understanding and application of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi's legacy are rapidly improving. He can wield various divine abilities with ease and fluency.

"Star God Chains!"

The Chaos Golden Crow drew upon the power of the celestial bodies, transforming it into countless chains of law, intertwined with starlight and chaotic energy, which coiled around the Blade King from all directions, sealing off his movements.

"Golden Crow Sky-Splitting Claw!"

The enormous claws tore through the void, their claw winds containing a terrifying will to tear apart the Great Dao, aiming straight for the Blade King's head.

The Sword King also pushed his swordsmanship to its limits, sometimes slicing through time like a blade to disrupt spacetime, sometimes unleashing the Heart Blade to slay gods and directly attack the primordial spirit, and sometimes evolving the Sword Realm to descend and form its own domain for confrontation...

The two fought fiercely in the starry sky, their figures flashing, the light of their clashing supernatural powers rising and falling, and the sounds of harmony and collapse echoing endlessly.

They fought from one end of the universe to the other, and wherever they went, the universe was annihilated and the void turned to dust, as if two ancient gods who created the world were fighting each other.

All the spectators from both the Immortal Realm and the Other Realm were already dumbfounded and their minds were shaken.

They saw Lu Xuan transform into a golden crow, wielding chaos and the sun, his supernatural powers ever-changing, as if he were the embodiment of the Great Dao.

They saw the Blade King's body protected by imperial light, his blade intent slicing through all laws with unparalleled ferocity, like a world-destroying demon god.

The two were evenly matched, like two equally matched generals, and fought to a standstill, neither able to gain the upper hand.

"Too...too strong! Is this what a true showdown between the best is all about?"

A celestial king muttered to himself, feeling that his countless years of arduous cultivation of the Daoist arts seemed so pale in comparison to the two people before him.

"Immortal King Lu Xuan... he actually managed to fight against the Emperor Light Giant who returned from the Boundary Sea to such an extent! How fortunate is our Immortal Realm!"

Pan Wang was so excited that his beard trembled.

On the other side, morale was low and panic was spreading.

Even the Sword King couldn't defeat the opponent, so how can this war be fought?
The Crimson King and Wu Shang's faces were so gloomy they could drip water; they knew the plan had completely failed.

Not only is the situation in the Primordial Ancient Realm uncertain, but the main battlefield here is also at a stalemate, and even... facing a slight disadvantage!
Just as Lu Xuan and the Sword King were locked in fierce combat, neither able to completely suppress the other—

“Rumble——!!!”

A terrifying wave, far more chaotic than any alien invasion, suddenly emanated from another remote and desolate area bordering the Immortal Realm and the Boundary Sea!
The shockwave swept across the battlefield like a tsunami, instantly alarming all the Immortal King-level beings on the battlefield!

"Oh no! It's the dark creatures from the depths of the Boundary Sea! Why are they rioting at this time?!"

The Time-Space Immortal King's expression changed drastically. He was most sensitive to the aura of the Boundary Sea and immediately recognized that the source of this fluctuation was not the other realm, but the darkness of the Boundary Sea!
Almost simultaneously, a dazzling yet urgent beam of immortal light forcefully broke through the energy turbulence of the battlefield and appeared before Pan Wang and the other kings of the Immortal Realm.

The celestial light dissipated, transforming into a phantom figure—a true immortal representative from the primordial ancient realm. He was covered in blood, his aura was weak, and his face was filled with despair and anxiety.

"Fellow seniors of the Immortal Realm! The Ancient Realm has suffered a great calamity! Kundi and the Demon King Pu have led more than twenty Immortal Kings in an invasion. The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, the True Dragon King, the Immortal Monk King, and the Seven Kings of the Borderlands are fighting desperately, but they are outnumbered and the Imperial Pass is about to fall! We implore the Immortal Realm to consider our shared fate and send reinforcements immediately! The billions of beings of the Ancient Realm weep and beg for your help!!!"

This plea for help, filled with blood and tears, struck the hearts of all the kings of the Immortal Realm like another heavy hammer blow!
The dark creatures of the Boundary Sea have revolted and invaded the other side of the Immortal Realm's desolate border!
The ancient defense line is on the verge of collapse and is in imminent danger!
Two pieces of bad news arrived almost simultaneously! Add to that the ongoing stalemate on the main battlefield with the foreign forces...

The Immortal Realm was instantly plunged into an unprecedented crisis, besieged on three sides!
"how so?!"

The Fairy King Qingwei paled in dismay.

"Dark creatures from the Boundary Sea... Why would they choose this time?!"

The Azure Wood Immortal King's hair and beard bristled. "The Ancient Realm... Kundi and the Demon King Pu actually went there in person!"

Pan Wang's face turned ashen as he instantly understood the true purpose of the foreign lands' "feint attack"!

The aggressive offensive on the main battlefield, even involving the Blade King, was all aimed at containing the main force of the Immortal Realm and creating an opportunity to attack the Primordial Ancient Realm!
After a brief moment of surprise, a hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the Crimson King and Wu Shang.

Although the uprising of the dark creatures in the Boundary Sea was unexpected, it objectively helped them a great deal, greatly restraining and dispersing the power of the Immortal Realm!
The atmosphere on the battlefield instantly became incredibly strange and tense.

Lu Xuan and the Sword King also sensed the chaotic riots coming from the direction of the Boundary Sea and the desperate plea for help from the representatives of the Primordial Ancient Realm, causing their attacks to falter slightly.

The Blade King's eyes flickered as he glanced towards the Boundary Sea, then looked at the solemn-faced kings of the Immortal Realm, a cold smile playing on his lips.

The more chaotic the situation, the more advantageous it is for foreign lands.

And he would naturally receive the conditions promised by the foreign land.

The golden crow that Lu Xuan had transformed into had a glint of light in its pupils.

"Hahaha!" Seeing this, the Crimson King seized the opportunity to burst into laughter, disrupting the morale of the Immortal Realm's army.

"Panwang! Time and Space! Do you still intend to fight us to the death here? The Boundary Sea is in turmoil, the Ancient Realm is on the verge of collapse, and the Immortal Realm is already in dire need of protection! Those who know what's good for them should retreat immediately, and perhaps they can still preserve the core of their Immortal Realm and prolong their lives!"

The kings of the Immortal Realm were both shocked and furious, but they could not refute it.

Fighting on three fronts, the Immortal Realm simply couldn't sustain it!
A decision must be made!

"Seniors!"

The phantom of the true immortal from the primordial ancient realm was extremely anxious, his voice trembling with tears.

"Save the Ancient Realm!"

Pan Wang clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, facing an unprecedentedly difficult choice.

If we retreat from the main battlefield, the alien army will surely advance unimpeded, and the heartland of the Immortal Realm will be in grave danger!

If we don't send troops to rescue them, the ancient realm will surely perish. If the dark creatures in the boundary sea gain power, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Just when the hearts and minds of the kings of the Immortal Realm were wavering—

"Buzz!"

The aura surrounding Lu Xuan, who had transformed into the Chaos Golden Crow, suddenly changed.

The solar power that had been fiercely battling the Sword King suddenly receded, and the enormous true form rapidly shrank, transforming back into human form.

He stood amidst the starry sky, his black hair dancing, his face serene, as if the surrounding cataclysmic events had nothing to do with him.

His gaze first swept over the Sword King, whose expression was changing, then over the anxious kings of the Immortal Realm, and finally landed on the illusory representative of the Primordial Ancient Realm.

"Let us record the events of this battle for now."

He spoke calmly to the Sword King, his tone leaving no room for doubt, as if he were the one in control of the battle.

The Sword King narrowed his eyes but did not make a move immediately. He also wanted to see what Lu Xuan intended to do.

Immediately, Lu Xuan looked at Pan Wang and the others, his voice clearly echoing across the battlefield:
"I will hold back the main force from the other side here."
