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

Chapter 53 Lu Xuan showed no concern.
Their cold, unspoken wills communicated, filled with a deep apprehension of Lu Xuan's power, yet also carrying a ruthless calculation to test and wear down the alien's fury. They tacitly approved, and even secretly fueled, the alien's storm of revenge, like hunters in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment.

Ultimately, the immortal palace in the alien realm responded.

A crimson decree, spanning billions of miles of star field and formed from countless shattered Immortal King laws and pure destructive will, suddenly erupted from the core of the alien realm.

Ignoring spatial distance, it was like a blood-stained declaration of war, instantly projected to the edge of the boundary sea, beyond the walls of the immortal realm, and even shook the shattered starry sky of the primordial ancient realm.

Above the decree, only twisted runes, like the struggles of billions of wronged souls, conveyed the most direct will:
"Execute—Lu—Xuan!!!"

"Destroy—the—Immortal—Realm!!!"

"Blood debt—blood—payment!!!"

Each character contained overwhelming killing intent and an unending curse, causing the souls of all living beings who sensed it to tremble.

This is not just a declaration of war, but a vow of revenge made by a foreign land with all its might.

This foreshadows even more terrifying and devastating storms to come.

Lu Xuan's brilliant victory in this battle ignited a frenzy.

Lu Xuan's name, while becoming the symbol of the guardian of the Immortal Realm and the savior of the Ancient Realm, also became the irreconcilable enemy of the other realm.

Beyond the Boundary Sea lies the Immortal Realm and the Primordial Ancient Realm.

Before the afterglow of the victory celebrations had completely faded, an invisible sense of urgency had already descended.

Lu Xuan stood alone atop the ancient Fusang tree, which had been revitalized in the land of the Golden Crow tribe.

The Chaos Bell hovered above his head, trembling slightly, cleansing away the curses and resentment that had tried to seep in due to the fall of the alien giant.

His gaze was deep, piercing through endless space, as if he could see the boiling hatred of the foreign land and the cold gaze from the depths of the ancient temple of guidance.

“A catalyst for hatred…indeed.”

He murmured to himself, his eyes swirling with a chaotic energy that reflected the creation of the world.

"Next time, it won't just be a few bigwigs coming."

"His Majesty."

The old Golden Crow King appeared behind him, his expression respectful yet tinged with worry.

"The alien realm is trembling, and dark energy is surging violently across the boundary sea; a great change is likely imminent. We..."

"It's alright." Lu Xuan raised his hand, stopping him from speaking.

"We will meet them head-on. They need time to build up their strength, and so do we."

He turned around and glanced down at the clan's elite troops who were practicing the "Ten-Sun Golden Crow Formation".

The ten illusory images of the great sun floated in the formation, radiating intense heat and light that could burn away all the heavens, their power even more advanced than during the great battle.

"Pass down the order: the grand formation practice must not be neglected for even a day. Also, open part of the Ancient Sun Cave secret realm. All members of the clan who have made contributions can enter to cultivate and comprehend the origin of the sun."

"Yes!"

Old Golden Crow King perked up and accepted the order.

At the same time, the alliance between the Primordial Ancient Realm and the Immortal Realm is being strengthened in earnest.

The primordial ancient world, the central celestial palace.

Ancient realm leaders such as the Immortal King Wuzhong and the Immortal King Liudao Lunhui, along with reinforcements from the Immortal Realm such as the Immortal King Pan and the Immortal King Hunyuan, and powerful beings from the Boundary Sea who descended from the sky, including the Immortal King Tianjian, the Immortal Golden Daoist, and the Second Strongest Under Heaven, all gathered together.

Although the atmosphere eased due to the victory, everyone knew that the crisis was not over.

"The foreign lands have suffered heavy losses this time, and given their nature, they will never let this go easily."

The Immortal King Wuzhong spoke, his voice carrying a hint of weakness from the lingering effects of the battle, but his gaze remained wise and resolute.

"Although Fellow Daoist Lu is strong and can seal the Primordial Gate, the darkness on the other side of the Boundary Sea is unfathomable."

The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King nodded, his six black holes slowly rotating: "I sensed within the cycle of reincarnation that a great terror is stirring in its slumber. The wrath of the alien realm may just be the prelude."

The Heavenly Sword Immortal King, holding his ancient sword, exuded a chilling aura: "When soldiers come, we will meet them head-on. Now that we have formed an alliance, we should advance and retreat together. In the Boundary Sea, there are also many fellow Daoists who deeply abhor the source of darkness; perhaps we can make contact with them."

Immortal Golden Daoist and the Second Under Heaven also agreed. Having returned from the Boundary Sea, they were well aware of the region's treacherous nature and the threat of darkness.

Panwang and Hunyuan Immortal King exchanged a glance, and Panwang spoke first: "Within the Immortal Realm, after this battle, the attitude towards Fellow Daoist Lu... and the Golden Crow Clan has greatly changed. However, some people still have reservations. Perhaps we can take advantage of this alliance to further integrate the power of the Immortal Realm."

The bonds of the alliance have become stronger in the face of a common threat.

The exchange of resources, cultivation techniques, and intelligence began to accelerate, and a massive war machine spanning the Immortal Realm, the Ancient Realm, and even connecting the powerful beings of the Boundary Sea began to operate quietly.

Boundary Sea, an unknown dimension.

The Primordial Gate, which was sealed by Lu Xuan using the "Chaos Origin Seal" combined with the power of the Chaos Bell, has now completely "disappeared" from the river of time and the lines of cause and effect.

Even for a Celestial King, unless one knows its exact coordinates beforehand and senses it using a special method, it would be extremely difficult to detect its existence.

However, within the absolute nothingness and seal, the door itself seemed to retain a trace of almost imperceptible spirituality, or rather, a wisp of power beyond the comprehension of a Celestial King connected to the back of the door.

This ripple was extremely faint, almost negligible, yet under the seal's isolation, it produced a strange "resonance," silently spreading towards the deepest, darkest corner of the Boundary Sea.

That place is an absolute forbidden zone that even the dark giants are unwilling to easily set foot in. It is the core source of the power of the ancient temple and the ultimate place where the secrets of the era of the fallen emperor are said to be buried.

A faint, almost imperceptible thought, like a ferocious beast that had slumbered for millennia, stirred slightly as this strange "resonance" ripple swept by.

The Golden Crow tribe's territory, a secluded chamber.

Lu Xuan sat cross-legged, with the Chaos Bell floating in front of him. The bell's surface displayed images of the sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, and wind, and the supreme Daoist aura of creation flowing through it.

He was digesting the gains from the series of battles, especially the life-or-death struggle with Emperor Light Immortal King and Blade King.

And in the final battle against the three dark giants, he unleashed his ultimate enlightenment, "Creation of Chaos."

His aura was constantly being refined and sublimated, although his realm remained at the level of a Celestial King giant.

However, the power contained within his body, as well as his control over the Great Dao of Chaos and the origin of the sun, is moving towards an even more unfathomable realm.

The inheritance of Donghuang Taiyi was further unsealed deep within his consciousness. More about the wonders of the Chaos Bell, how to use chaos to generate all laws, and how to truly touch the supreme realm of "opening the heavens with a single thought" slowly flowed through his heart.

"The revenge from a foreign land, the lurking in the shadows... Power, we need even greater power."

Lu Xuan opened his eyes, and a fleeting image of chaos opening up and the creation and destruction of the universe flashed before his eyes.

He sensed a faint, almost imperceptible malice and gaze emanating from the edge of the Boundary Sea.

They also vaguely sensed an unusual "ripple" from the sealed primordial gate.

The storm is not over; the current calm is merely a lull before the next, and even greater, catastrophe.
