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

Chapter 104 The Sword King, Qu Zhong, Falls Instantly
"It's the Skeleton King, the Black Fiend King, and the Netherfire King! They're back!"

A faint cheer erupted from the surviving alien creatures amidst their despair.

The three Immortal Kings who rushed to the aid were filled with rage upon seeing the torn world barrier and the hellish scene inside.

"court death!"

The Skeleton King roared, and billions of pale bone spikes appeared around his body, transforming into a destructive torrent that rushed towards the most densely populated area of ​​the Immortal Realm Allied Forces.

The Black Demon King transformed into a dark curtain that devoured light, descending upon the land.

The King of Netherfire unleashed the Netherworld Fire, scorching the heavens and boiling the seas.

Their return was like a shot in the arm for the collapsing foreign land.

However, faced with these three powerful reinforcements, Lu Xuan, standing at the center of the destruction, merely raised his eyelids indifferently.

"Coming back to die saves me the trouble of searching in the Boundary Sea."

He pointed his fingers like a sword and made another light stroke.

This time, it wasn't aimed at the world barrier, but at the three Immortal Kings who had just stormed into the alien realm with overwhelming force.

A thin, sword-like thread, seemingly formed from the first ray of light at the beginning of chaos, ignored spatial distance and instantly appeared between the brows of the Skeleton King, the Black Fiend King, and the Netherfire King.

Fast! Indescribably fast! Faster than the limits of conscious perception!

The rage and killing intent on the faces of the three Immortal Kings froze instantly, replaced by extreme fear and bewilderment. They didn't even manage to make any defensive or evasive maneuvers!
"puff!"

"puff!"

"puff!"

Three soft sounds, like drops of morning dew.

The three immortal kings, who roamed the world and were infamous for their ferocity, had their powerful royal bodies, refined Dao fruits, and resilient divine souls vanish like bubbles before this seemingly insignificant wisp of chaotic sword thread.

Their auras instantly dissipated, transforming into three clusters of pure primordial energy, which Lu Xuan swept up with his sleeve and collected, becoming provisions for the Chaos Battle Court.

silence!

Deathly silence!

Whether it was the surviving beings from the alien realm or the immortal kings and giants who were frantically rushing back from all over the Boundary Sea, their souls were frozen at this moment!

Three powerful immortal kings were instantly killed in a single encounter—no, not even in a single encounter!

What an enormous disparity in power!

This is completely beyond their understanding of the "King's Realm"!

"The Emperor... he must have reached the Emperor Realm!"

An immortal king who had rushed back from the Boundary Sea trembled, abruptly halting his momentum to rush into the alien realm, staring in horror at the figure that resembled a demon god.

Fear, like the coldest current, instantly swept over the minds of all those who came to the rescue.

Lu Xuan's gaze swept over the foreign kings who hesitated or even began to slowly retreat in the direction of the Boundary Sea. His voice was icy, resounding throughout the heavens:
"The alien lands must be destroyed; this is the will of Heaven."

"If you surrender, the source of darkness will be dispelled, and you may enter the cycle of reincarnation."

Those who stubbornly resist will be annihilated, body and soul, and will never be reincarnated!

His words carried the power of the Great Dao, like a final judgment, striking heavily into the hearts of every alien being, especially those immortal kings.

surrender?

Disperse the source of darkness?

How is that any different from death?

Even more humiliating than death!

resistance?

Just look at what happened to the Skeleton King and his ilk!
Despair, utter despair, enveloped all the creatures from that foreign land.

Some immortal kings and giants who were already wavering in their resolve or who cherished their lives began to falter, their eyes flickering.

Meanwhile, other immortal kings, thoroughly corrupted by darkness and driven by fanatical faith, roared in defiance, burning everything in their path and launching a final, suicidal attack.

Lu Xuan remained silent, only waving his hand indifferently.

"kill."

At the command, the morale of the Immortal Realm Allied Forces soared, like tigers among sheep, launching a final purge against the remaining alien forces that were plunged into chaos and despair.

Lu Xuan himself stepped forward, actively welcoming the immortal kings who had returned from the Boundary Sea.

He will use the most domineering and invincible force to completely annihilate these top-tier combat forces from other lands on the very land that gave them birth!
The destruction of the foreign land is a foregone conclusion.

This thunderous campaign, spearheaded by Lu Xuan, is not only about eliminating the minions of darkness, but also about announcing to the entire Boundary Sea that the era of the Chaos War Court has arrived!

Anyone who aligns themselves with darkness should consider whether they can withstand the wrath of that Chaos War Immortal!

The seas fell silent, and all realms were shaken.

The destruction of the foreign land is nearing its end; the land is shattered, and darkness has fallen.

Under Lu Xuan's invincible leadership, the Immortal Realm Allied Forces swept away the last resistance.

In the Boundary Sea, most of the alien kings who had rushed to the aid with great momentum hesitated and even began to retreat quietly, completely shocked by Lu Xuan's terrifying strength in killing three immortal kings with a single glance.

However, there are always those who are not afraid of death, or who have absolute confidence in their own strength.

"boom--!"

A dazzling blade of light, seemingly capable of cleaving through countless galaxies, suddenly slashed down from the depths of the Boundary Sea!
The sword intent was sharp and domineering, carrying a resolute determination to sever cause and effect and destroy all laws. Its power far surpassed that of any previous immortal king, and it had already reached the level of the Emperor Light Immortal King!
Before the blade even arrived, its terrifying intent had already added countless ravines to the shattered alien land, causing many immortal cultivators to feel a stinging pain in their souls, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"It's the Sword King! He's actually back!"

"He's someone who fought Lu Xuan and survived!"

A knowledgeable immortal king exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the newcomer.

The Blade King, one of the ancient and immortal kings in the Boundary Sea, is revered for his swordsmanship and possesses astonishing killing power. He spends many years honing his sword intent in the depths of the Boundary Sea and is recognized by the other realm as one of the most likely individuals to break through the King realm and become an Emperor!

Since his defeat to Lu Xuan, he has been recuperating in the depths of the Boundary Sea.

Now his injuries have healed, and his cultivation has even advanced further.

Compared to then, the current Blade King is much stronger now, thanks to his insights gained from that great battle.

The Sword King was an exceptionally talented individual, but Lu Xuan was simply too powerful at the time.

That's what led to the Sword King's defeat.

Now that the Blade King's cultivation has advanced further, how could he possibly give up this opportunity for revenge? The blade's light dissipated, revealing a tall and imposing figure with a face as cold and stern as ten thousand years of ice.

He was enveloped in a hazy imperial light, holding an ancient longsword whose blade seemed to carry a rushing river of sword energy.

His gaze was like a knife, locked directly on Lu Xuan, his killing intent almost tangible.

"Lu Xuan!"

The Blade King's voice was icy, with a metallic, grinding quality.

"This enmity is irreconcilable! Today, I will use your blood to consecrate the blade in my hand and prove my supreme swordsmanship!"

His aura was overwhelming, and his imperial light surged, as if an emperor from the blade had descended to earth, ready to engage in a fateful duel with Lu Xuan.

His return and declaration rekindled a faint hope in the eyes of some of the remaining alien beings who had been in despair.

However, before Lu Xuan could respond, another unexpected event occurred!
"Hehe...Knife King, how could such a grand event be complete without me, Qu Zhong?"

A soft, eerie voice rang out, the void rippled, and another powerful figure appeared silently.

The man was dressed in a black robe, his face hidden in the shadows, revealing only a pair of eyes that gleamed with an eerie green light.

His aura was ethereal and uncertain, yet it carried a strange power that eroded all things and corrupted the laws of nature, reaching the level of the Emperor Light Immortal King!
"It's Qu Zhonggu Zu!!! He's actually back too!"

"Great! We're saved! Now that the Sword King and Ancestor Qu Zhonggu are both here, we should be able to defeat them!"

"He's actually back too! Two Emperor Light Immortal Kings!"

"May God bless my immortal land! I will make Lu Xuan pay for his blood debt!"

The surviving alien creatures became even more excited.

The Blade King specializes in offensive attacks, while Qu Zhong excels in curses. One is overt and the other covert. With the two Emperor Light Immortal Kings joining forces, they believe that even if Lu Xuan is strong, he may not be able to deal with them easily!

The Sword King glanced at Qu Zhong, his brows furrowing slightly. He seemed displeased that others were interfering in his battle, but with a formidable enemy at hand, he didn't say much, only his sword intent intensified.

Qu Zhong smiled sinisterly, his gaze sweeping over Lu Xuan like a venomous snake, as if searching for the best entry point for his curse.

The two giants arrived together, their combined auras and overwhelming pressure sweeping across the heavens and earth, making the atmosphere on the entire battlefield incredibly oppressive once again.

Many members of the Immortal Realm Alliance showed solemn expressions, with Ran Deng, Butcher, and others secretly gathering their strength, ready to lend a helping hand at any time.

Faced with these two Immortal Kings, who were notorious in the Boundary Sea, and their undisguised killing intent and provocation, Lu Xuan finally made his move.

He didn't look at the Sword King, nor at Qu Zhong; he merely raised his eyelids slightly and waved his hand casually, as if shooing away flies.

"Noisy."

There was no earth-shattering energy eruption, no mysterious and unpredictable magic techniques. It was just a seemingly casual wave of the wrist.

"Om-!"

An invisible and intangible power, yet seemingly containing the ultimate meanings of "return to nothingness," "end," and "emptiness," instantly spread out from Lu Xuan's center.

This force swept past the Blade King.

The Blade King's surging imperial light was extinguished in an instant, like a candle flickering in the wind!
The ancient longsword in his hand, which bore witness to the long history of swordsmanship, let out a mournful cry before shattering into countless points of light and dissipating into nothingness!
His cold face still held a resolute killing intent and a trace of disbelief and bewilderment.

His entire body, along with his Dao Fruit of the Sword King, which had been refined to the extreme, began to disintegrate and dissipate like a sand sculpture, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.

At the same time, this force swept past Qu Zhong.

Qu Zhong's sinister and eerie aura instantly froze, and the black curse mist surrounding him seemed to have met its nemesis, emitting a hissing sound as it quickly dissolved.

His face, hidden in the shadows, suddenly emerged, filled with extreme fear and horror. He seemed to want to say something, to use some life-saving technique, but the invisible force had already permeated every inch of his flesh and blood, every strand of his soul.

Like a punctured balloon, his entire body, along with the incomparably vicious cursed Dao Fruit, silently collapsed and vanished, returning to nothingness.

From the moment Lu Xuan waved his hand to the moment the two giants completely disappeared, the entire process took less than a fraction of a second.

There was no fierce confrontation, no dazzling light and shadow, and not even a loud noise.

It's like an eraser wiping away two ink dots on paper—effortless, casual, and...complete.

Time seemed to stand still, both at home and abroad.

All living beings who witnessed this scene, whether they were the Immortal Realm Allied Forces, the remnants of the alien realm, or the various giants who were spying in the Boundary Sea, were frozen in place, their minds blank.

Sword King... Qu Zhong... two peerless Immortal Kings who roamed the Boundary Sea, were infamous and had reached the realm of Emperor Light... just like that... gone?
Was it wiped out with a casual wave of the hand, as if dust had been swept away?
This is completely beyond their comprehension!
This is power that no Celestial King could possibly possess!

Even a quasi-Immortal Emperor would probably need to use some methods to kill Emperor Light Immortal King, right?

How could this be... so casually dismissed?!

"The Emperor... he is absolutely the true Emperor!"

An ancient being spoke in a hoarse voice, muttering with endless fear.

"Chaos War Emperor...Invincible!"

After a brief moment of deathly silence, the Immortal Realm Allied Forces erupted in a thunderous, frenzied cheer, their morale soaring to its peak!
The surviving alien creatures were plunged into the deepest despair and deathly silence, their last thought of resistance completely extinguished.

Lu Xuan withdrew his hand, his expression remaining calm, as if he had only done a trivial matter. He glanced at the alien kings who were completely terrified and fleeing frantically in the Boundary Sea, and did not pursue them further.

His gaze once again fell upon the deepest part of the Boundary Sea, where the four wills, as deep as the abyss, resided.

He knew that after clearing out these small fry, it was time to get to the main culprit.

Deep within the Boundary Sea, the fluctuations of those four wills seemed to ripple almost imperceptibly due to this seemingly effortless yet earth-shattering instant kill. The chilling killing intent grew ever stronger.

The Blade King and Qu Zhong were casually killed by Lu Xuan, as if he were crushing two ants. This completely shattered the last defenses of all the alien creatures.

Despair is no longer an emotion, but a substance that permeates every inch of air and erodes every wisp of the soul.

The wailing, the lamentations, and even the frenzied roars gradually subsided, leaving only a deathly silence, awaiting the final judgment.

However, at this moment of utter silence, when even the vast ocean seemed to hold its breath—

Deep within the alien realm, in an ancient ancestral temple shrouded in countless dark runes and immortal matter, an aged and decaying figure slowly opened his eyes. It was none other than Kundi, one of the oldest and most mysterious beings in the alien realm.

He did not rush out to fight like other immortal kings, nor did he attempt to escape.

He simply sat quietly in the center of the ancestral hall, with a seemingly simple, even somewhat dilapidated wooden box in front of him—that was the ancient artifact of origin that had been worshipped in the foreign land for countless eras and contained ultimate secrets and power.

Kundi's gaze seemed to pierce through the barrier of the ancestral hall, clearly "seeing" everything that was happening outside, seeing Lu Xuan's invincible figure, seeing the shattered landscape of foreign lands, and seeing the despair of his people.

His wrinkled face, like the bark of an old tree, showed no anger, no fear, only a weariness after countless ages and... a trace of relief.

"In the end... it still came to this."

Kundi let out a long sigh, his voice hoarse as if two millstones were rubbing together.

"This child... although he has not truly stepped into the Emperor Realm, his path and his power are already beyond the reach of the King Realm. The difference... is not far off."
