After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

"Humans and the Golden Crows have always been mortal enemies. Stop with the high-sounding rhetoric. I'll tell you plainly: the Golden Crows' bloodline has been wiped out. From now on, there will be no more Golden Crows in the Immortal Realm."

What do you intend to do?

Jiang Che spoke the most arrogant words in the calmest tone.

If he had been wary of the other party before he had transcended worldly concerns, there was no need for that now, as the two sides had more than just deep-seated hatred.

At the same time, the two are also rivals who are trying to seize power.

"How dare you! You mere newly promoted Great Luo, how dare you bark at me!" The Golden Crow Emperor's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his terrifying pressure spread in all directions.

Although every step forward in the Great Luo Realm is extremely difficult because the path ahead is uncertain and there is absolutely no guidance, the Great Luo Immortal King is the end of the Immortal Realm. But you should know that he has been cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years.

In terms of strength, he far surpasses Jiang Che, the newly promoted Grand Luo.

Even though Jiang Che achieved enlightenment through the unprecedented Yin-Yang dual laws, he was not afraid.

"What arrogant words! Fellow Daoist Jiang is a Great Luo Immortal of my human race. If you dare to touch him, today will be your death day!" Immortal King Taiyi sneered from the side, and the laws of cause and effect gathered around him.

It transformed into a celestial bow, instantly locking onto the aura of the Golden Crow Emperor.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, I'll leave Taiyi to you and this man to me, how about that?" The Golden Crow Emperor's eyes were somewhat gloomy. He and Taiyi were truly irreconcilable enemies.

However, right now he has to deal with Jiang Che first.

In fact, once they reach their level, it is extremely difficult to suppress and kill them. The only way is to gradually erase their origin and expel them from the imprint on the laws of the Great Dao.

Otherwise, the Great Luo Immortal King would be virtually immortal.

For this reason, although there have been battles between Great Immortal Kings over the past million years, none of them have perished.

"can."

The fairy in the ice-blue dress beside her nodded slightly. She had no grudge against the human race, but Jiang Che was her enemy on the path to enlightenment. Perhaps killing Jiang Che would not allow her to advance any further.

But it could allow her to eliminate a threat.

In this regard.

The surrounding Grand Luo Immortal Kings all wore smiling expressions. Although Jiang Che now ruled the Immortal Realm, as long as his race was not wiped out, they had no particular feelings about it.

After all, they would have done the same thing if they were in their shoes.

They were even happier to see them both suffer heavy losses. Naturally, no immortal kings perished in this battle, but that didn't mean they didn't enjoy seeing this very exciting scene.

Tens of thousands of years of desolation would be incredibly boring even for a Great Luo Immortal King. They would naturally be happy to watch a good show.

Jiang Che curled his lips into a smile, seemingly not taking the two Great Luo Immortal Kings seriously at all. With a thought, the Sacrifice Heavenly Stele, hidden deep within his mind, was revealed to everyone for the first time.

"Fellow Daoists, do you recognize what this is?"

Just now, in the blink of an eye, Immortal King Taiyi had told Jiang Che everything that had happened here, so that she had learned about the situation that these Immortal Kings had encountered as soon as she arrived in this space.

Just as he had predicted, these Celestial Kings were drawn here by a mysterious force, only to find that they could not get out.

Even though they possess the power of laws, the fact that this place is isolated from the Immortal Realm universe has greatly suppressed their strength, making it impossible for them to tear through the void and return to the Immortal Realm.

Even if they could tear open the void, it would only lead to another space. Over tens of thousands of years, they tried countless methods, but still could not find a way out.

There was only one way: to comprehend and refine the divine stele standing deep within this starry sky. However, what dealt a heavy blow to the Immortal Kings was that each of them was a peerless genius, one in a hundred thousand years.

But they felt utterly powerless before that divine monument.

Not only could he not comprehend the mysteries of the divine stele, but he also found it difficult to destroy it. The moment Jiang Che stepped into this realm, he sensed the connection between the sacrificial stele and the divine stele.

That.
It seems to be the missing part of the sacrificial stele, which he can refine at any time and control.

Controlling the Divine Stele means that Jiang Che has a way to save them. Otherwise, how could Jiang Che remain indifferent in the face of so many Great Luo Immortal Kings!
really.

As Jiang Che expected, the moment the sacrificial stele manifested, all the Great Luo Immortal Kings present were thrown into a frenzy.

"Sacred Monument!"

"It's a divine stele!"

"No, it's not a divine stele."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, what exactly is going on?"

They were undoubtedly somewhat gloating over Jiang Che's arrival, since he would inevitably be trapped here forever, which would greatly reduce the pressure on their various races in the Immortal Realm.

But Jiang Che's ability to manifest the divine stele gave them hope of getting out.

If they could leave, who would want to be trapped here forever?

Even the Golden Crow Emperor and the Moon Fairy, who were about to make their move, had their expressions change drastically. They stared at Jiang Che with uncertain expressions, completely unable to understand why he was able to control this thing.

"Fellow Daoists, this divine stele concerns your future, and I can control that divine stele in this realm. If you can help me, I can eliminate the Golden Crow enemy and the Taiyin Fairy."

I promise to lead you all away.

Jiang Che said calmly.

"Damn it, fellow Daoists, do not believe his nonsense. That divine stele may be related to him. He will surely threaten you all again. Why don't we take action together?"

Slay this man and jointly take control of the Divine Stele!

The Golden Crow Emperor panicked.

He was not afraid of Jiang Che and Immortal King Taiyi. Even if they were no match for him, he believed that they were absolutely incapable of suppressing him. It would simply be a matter of completely breaking off relations.

However, if all the Celestial Kings present attacked together, they would definitely not be able to stop them.

Even if they don't die, they will definitely be suppressed!
Upon hearing this, all the Celestial Kings present hesitated, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

"Fellow Daoists, you only have one chance. If you don't help me, I won't help you. You want to kill me? Heh heh, the Divine Stele is in my hands. Can you really guarantee you can kill me?"

Even if you kill me, will you be able to control the Divine Stele? You'll just be trapped here forever.

Jiang Che was fearless. As he bought time, he had already made contact with the divine stele in this space. He was confident that he could launch a counterattack before the other party could make a move.

Even leaving here
"Fellow Daoists, why don't you consider this? We have been trapped here for tens of thousands of years. Do you really want to stay here forever?" Immortal King Taiyi also spoke up for Jiang Che.

Although he didn't know how Jiang Che had done it, at this moment, he stood firmly on Jiang Che's side.

"you wanna die!"

The Golden Crow Emperor was furious. He could no longer tolerate Jiang Che and the other two continuing their instigation. If anyone was tempted, they would face a mass attack.

Suddenly.

The great enemy of the Golden Crow has made its move. With a thought, a great sun rises and illuminates the entire space. The scorching and terrifying temperature rises instantly, as if the sky is burning and the sea is boiling.

The terrifying, supreme Yang law surged towards Jiang Che, overwhelming everything in its path.

Meanwhile, the Moon Fairy remained unpredictable and did not make a move.

"Why act impulsively, fellow Daoist?"

Suddenly, a Great Luo Immortal King who was watching the battle made a move. He was dressed in a black robe, and his aura was strange, as if it had completely entered the entire world, making him unpredictable.

He wielded a blood-red divine blade, its power of laws condensed, forcefully blocking the opponent's path.

"Fellow Daoist Holy Blood, do you wish to forge a mortal enmity with me?"

The Golden Crow Emperor's face was grim.

"I simply cannot bear to see bloodshed," the Holy Blood Immortal King said with a calm smile, a stark contrast to the overwhelming killing intent emanating from him.

In fact, it was Taiyi Immortal King who took the initiative to contact him. They had a decent relationship, so Taiyi Immortal King asked him to take the lead and set an example for the other fellow Daoists.

As for what price was paid, only Taiyi Immortal King and himself know the answer.

"Indeed, fellow Daoist, why must you resort to fighting and killing at every turn?"

The Immortal King of the True Dragon Clan revealed his true form, his terrifying body, tens of millions of feet tall, suppressing the heavens. The power of the laws spread, carrying immense pressure and majesty, as if he were a god in this world.

"Fellow Daoist Jinwu is too impulsive. Fellow Daoist Jiang has only just advanced in his cultivation. Is this how you welcome him?"

The Celestial King of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan smiled faintly and manifested in human form, but his body was surrounded by a raging sea of ​​fire, forming a magnificent picture.

"Yes."

The Ice God Clan's Immortal King revealed his true form with a cold expression.

Then, the Immortal Kings of the Tianluan Clan, the Star God Clan, the Xuan Turtle Clan, and the Qilin Clan all stepped forward, blocking Jiang Che's way, and speaking words of justice.

In reality, however, it had already subtly blocked all the escape routes of the Golden Crow's great enemy.

"You guys"

The Golden Crow Emperor was furious and angry. He never expected the situation to turn around so quickly and so unexpectedly. Jiang Che's few words had put him in the most dangerous predicament of his life.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, I was disrespectful before. I hope you will be magnanimous."

The Moon Fairy immediately responded, betraying the Golden Crow Emperor without hesitation, as she did not want to be suppressed here or trapped here forever.

“Alright, fellow Daoist, suppress the Golden Crow Emperor for me, and our grudges will be wiped clean.”

Jiang Che nodded slightly.

Although he and the other party were enemies, it wouldn't have much of an impact on him at the moment. As for the future, that was a matter for the future. Right now, he naturally wanted to weaken the Golden Crow Emperor's strength as much as possible.

"Thank you."

The Moon Fairy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Taiyin, you...you and he are enemies of the Great Dao, he will not let you go!"

The Golden Crow Emperor hurriedly replied.

"That's none of your business, fellow Daoist."

The Moon Fairy responded indifferently, and then quickly switched sides. The Golden Crow Emperor's face immediately turned extremely ugly. Looking at this scene, he felt a strange sense of panic. The two sides confronted each other in the starry sky, their auras as imposing as mountains and seas. The mere manifestation of their laws caused the surrounding heaven and earth to overturn and the galaxy to collapse, as if foreshadowing an earth-shattering battle about to unfold.

Before the battle even began, the sheer number of Great Luo Immortal Kings—more than two palms' worth—almost caused the galaxy to collapse with their displayed power.

"Suppress the Golden Crow, and I promise to take you all away from this place!"

Jiang Che said in a deep voice without hesitation.

At this point, there was no turning back; he had to suppress the other party, or even kill them.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, remember your promise."

"Alright, then we will trust Fellow Daoist Jiang this once."

"Do it!!!"

In an instant, the ten Great Luo Immortal Kings attacked simultaneously, their laws surging and obscuring the sky. With absolute and terrifying pressure, they swept over the Golden Crow Emperor. Seeing this scene, the Golden Crow Emperor's eyes were filled with despair and determination.

"kill!"

bang
When the laws converge, the galaxy collapses.

A great battle that would determine the fate of the Celestial King had begun.
Above the sky, the commotion was extremely terrifying, and the space itself trembled violently. However, since this space was formed by laws, although there was tremor, it was ultimately not broken.

The various Celestial Kings displayed their supernatural powers, which greatly broadened Jiang Che's horizons. These ancient monsters who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years were indeed incredibly powerful, and their strength was not just boasting.

However, Jiang Che did not get involved. The fact that ten Immortal Kings had taken action was already a sign of respect for the Golden Crow Emperor. Although he was itching to get involved, he knew what was most important to him right now.

Divine monument!

This is what he should be doing.

He promised to send the Celestial Kings away, and they had only stood on his side then. If he failed to do so in the end, it was clear that the Celestial Kings, who had been tricked, would not let the matter rest.

He was not afraid, but there was no need for him to be.

Amidst the turmoil of heaven and earth, Jiang Che took a step forward and finally arrived before the divine stele. It seemed that because he was extremely close, he refined the sacrificial stele.

At this moment, he felt a sense of detachment. Seeing this, Jiang Che decided to let nature take its course. The sacrificial stele suddenly transformed into a beam of light and surged into the divine stele.

Rumble.
In an instant, an upheaval even more terrifying than the battle between immortal kings appeared. The world trembled, laws manifested, and it seemed as if this space itself was about to be completely overturned.

This attracted the attention of many Celestial Kings. At the same time, the fact that Jiang Che was able to cause such a commotion to the Divine Stele reassured them, as it proved that Jiang Che's previous words were true.

The instant the offering stele surged into the divine stele, a phantom-like, blurry figure was also reflected on the divine stele, seemingly seeing Jiang Che through the endless void.

"Congratulations!"

The other party's voice entered his ears, and before Jiang Che could ask any questions, the other party disappeared. Then, streams of information flooded into Jiang Che's mind.

A moment later, Jiang Che opened his eyes and muttered to himself:
“So that’s how it is”

Just as many Celestial Kings had predicted, this space was indeed a passage to another universe, but it was suppressed by the Divine Stele, whose true name was...
Tianyan Boundary Marker!

A monument to a world.

The core essence that suppresses the entire universe is a treasure above the Great Luo level. By refining this stele, Jiang Che can take control of the entire universe, and the Great Dao Laws of this universe will also be at his disposal.

The Milky Way is vast and boundless, containing countless realms of varying sizes, but there are only nine universes, and this universe is one of them, the Celestial Evolution Universe.

It is connected to other universes.

The Great Luo Immortal King is the pinnacle of cultivators in all universes.

To achieve the highest level and become a creator saint, one must gather the nine divine tablets and unite them into one, using the power of the nine fundamental laws of the universe to converge and unify them, only then can one transcend once again.

To become the creator saint.

The figure that had appeared earlier was none other than himself. In fact, it was a fragment of his spirit left behind in his previous life, whose true form was originally a primordial deity.

It is also at the Immortal King realm, but the innate beings are inherently incompatible with the boundary marker and cannot be refined at all. They can only mobilize a portion of its divine power in an attempt to truly refine it.

Only those who are born into this universe and have mastered the great laws of this universe can achieve this.

Therefore, the innate deity had to reincarnate. In order for him to grow up quickly, his previous incarnation separated a part of the divine stele, which was transformed into a sub-stele and controlled by him.

In order to eliminate all dangers as much as possible, the innate deity orchestrated a scheme, deliberately leaking the aura of the divine stele to attract all the Immortal Kings in the entire Immortal Realm to this place.

Then, they kept him here to prevent any trouble or accidents.

The reason he was able to make sacrifices and have his wishes fulfilled was that he was actually drawing on the experiences, essence, and divine power of the various immortal kings, using all the immortal kings as nourishment.

He was provided with food and drink, which allowed him to transcend the river of time and ascend to the Great Luo realm in the shortest possible time.

"So, I was the mastermind behind it all." After learning the whole story, Jiang Che couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He never expected the truth to be like this.

The reason these Celestial Kings disappeared from the Celestial Realm was actually due to his own actions.

The innate deity reincarnated repeatedly, multiplying into countless forms, yet never managed to make the divine stele reveal its divine power. This is why he witnessed those scenes when he transcended.

It wasn't until he traveled through time and went through hundreds and thousands of lifetimes that the sacrificial stele finally manifested.

"He is me, I am him, but I am still me."

Jiang Che pondered for a long time, cutting off all distracting thoughts. Regardless of what happened in his past and present lives, he was who he was now and would not be affected by anyone or anything.

As Jiang Che took control of the Heavenly Evolution Boundary Stele, the Golden Crow Immortal King was completely suppressed. He was indeed very powerful, protected by the power of laws, and was almost an immortal being.

But he couldn't fight ten opponents alone, especially since all ten were at his level.

Without a doubt, he lost.

Imprisoned by the power of the ten laws, he was brought before Jiang Che by Immortal King Taiyi and others.

"You can't kill me, Jiang Che!"

Although the Golden Crow Emperor was defeated at this moment, he submitted and still looked at Jiang Che provocatively. At most, the other party could only suppress him, but could not kill him.

"Really?"

Jiang Che wouldn't have been able to do it before, but now that he can control the boundary markers, that's a different story.

With a thought, Jiang Che unleashed a thunderous roar that shook the heavens. The divine stele rose up and landed in Jiang Che's hand. Then, with a casual toss, the Heavenly Evolution Divine Stele landed on the head of the Golden Crow Emperor.

In an instant, the power of endless laws descended, beginning to erode his origin. At the same time, Jiang Che, who held the power of the universe, was removing the mark from the Supreme Yang Law.

Once the mark is applied, the Golden Crow Emperor will be completely knocked down from his cultivation level.

At this moment, his immortal body shattered!

"You shouldn't be dead. How could you possibly be?"

"How could you possibly affect the very origin of the Great Dao?"

At first, the Golden Crow Emperor did not take it seriously. Although his origin was erased, he did not completely fall into madness. However, when he sensed that his imprint on the laws of the Great Dao was becoming shallower and shallower, he realized that the imprint on the laws of the Great Dao was becoming shallower and shallower.

He finally panicked.
The surrounding Grand Luo Immortal Kings were all astonished and uncertain upon seeing this scene. They never expected that Jiang Che not only controlled the mysterious divine stele, but also managed to make the Golden Crow Emperor so embarrassed.

This is unreasonable!

They could even sense that the Golden Crow Emperor's aura was rapidly declining, as if he was about to fall from his cultivation level.

How can this be? !
Isn't the Great Luo Immortal King immortal and indestructible?
How could one fall from a higher realm?
Jiang Che offered no explanation, simply watching the scene unfold. After a moment, the Golden Crow Emperor's imprint on the Supreme Yang Law completely vanished, and the Golden Crow Emperor's aura weakened to its extreme.

He is still the Great Luo Immortal King, yet he is no longer the Great Luo Immortal King.

He lost the divine power to wield the laws, and his strength instantly plummeted by 90%.

At this point, he reached a new level of understanding.

Half-step peak Great Perfection Grand Luo Immortal King!
He possesses some of the divine power of the Great Luo Immortal King, but he is not a true Great Luo Immortal King.

"Farewell, fellow Daoist."

Jiang Che raised his hand and killed him.

Without the mark, he was only slightly stronger than the Immortal Venerable. Once his origin was destroyed, he himself would perish.

Seeing this, all the Great Luo Immortal Kings were stunned and could not believe what they were seeing. This newly promoted Great Luo Immortal King had actually killed a Great Luo Immortal King right in front of them!
They accomplished things beyond their comprehension.

Does this mean they will die too?

Realizing this, many Great Luo Immortal Kings panicked.
This was Jiang Che's deliberate intention. He was determined to take the other eight cosmic boundary markers, and he would also invade other universes, unify the nine universes, and become the supreme creator god.

The cosmic war could not have been fought without the support of numerous Celestial Kings.

He wants to subdue them.

"As you all have seen, Fellow Daoist Jinwu is dead, his Great Dao imprint has been removed, and he will be forever lost in the long river of time. Since I was able to kill him, I can also kill you all."

Therefore, I will stop pretending. Now, I will only ask one question.

"Are you all willing to submit to me?!"

"Those who are willing to submit, we will share in the melting and eternal life; those who are unwilling to submit, I will not force them based on our past relationship, but I will remove the imprint of the Great Dao from you to make room for future generations."

His disdainful gaze swept over the several Great Luo Immortal Kings one by one. At this moment, time and space seemed to freeze completely.

In the end, it was Immortal King Taiyi who cooperated first:
"I am willing to obey your command, fellow Daoist."

"I am willing to follow my fellow Daoist."

"willing"

Jiang Che nodded slightly upon seeing this and said with a faint smile:

"good!"
