A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

He recounted the sins and bloodshed, as well as all the oppression he had suffered. He described the actions of the Immortal Palace and Sword Valley.

After listening to Yunhua's story, the armless old man's eyes were filled with deep anger.

How ridiculous that the mark of glory has been slandered as evidence of a crime.

“Those True Immortals knew that the reason the Stone King beheaded those immortals was because they had been corrupted by an ominous force and were about to fall into darkness.”

"That's why I took the initiative to ask the Stone King to kill them, to prevent them from completely turning into monsters."

"I never expected this..." The armless old man felt a pang of sadness.

The seven kings and their descendants fought desperately against the foreign invaders in the imperial city, but the people they sent out were slandered to this extent.

Even though some people know the truth, they remain silent and even instruct their lineage to lead the suppression of the descendants of the Seven Kings.

"The remnant immortals of the Immortal Palace all deserve to die!" Tianhuangji said coldly.

"Alas!" The armless old man sighed. He wanted to do something, to go out and clear the name of the descendants of the Seven Kings, and to cut off the heads of those evil people.

But there was no way for them to leave the imperial city.

This place still needs people to guard it. If they leave, the city will fall, and the iron hooves of foreign lands will once again trample across the heavens and the earth.

They guard the front line of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but their people suffer oppression in the peaceful rear.

Meng Tianzheng was also furious, his expression icy. "After returning to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, I will settle accounts and clear the name of the Seven Kings' descendants."

“You don’t need to go.” Yunhua shook his head and looked at the armless old man. “The Stone Clan has produced a prodigy who has already reached the Heavenly God Realm at the age of twenty and can even kill someone who has reached the Void Realm.”

"He stood up for the descendants of the Seven Kings, while some people also stood on the side of the Seven Kings' descendants."

"The living conditions of the Seven Kings' descendants have improved, and they are now protected by powerful figures."

"As for those few remnant immortals, they pose no threat to the descendants of the Seven Kings at present. Let them live; the most suitable person will take their lives."

After Shi Hao left the Immortal Ancient City, he began to settle scores. He had completely taken control of the Sin Province, and the descendants of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands no longer had to suffer oppression there.

They can establish a nation, start a school of thought, and pass on their traditions freely.

Furthermore, Shi Hao also won over many allies, such as the Immortal Mountain and the Peacock Clan.

These are all major sects and clans with their own leaders, and now they are all supporting the descendants of the Seven Kings.

Even if Shi Hao leaves, the descendants of the Seven Kings will not fall into the same predicament as before.

Unless a few remnant immortals emerge, no one can afford to bully the descendants of the Seven Kings again.

Shi Hao achieved this through his own hard work, gradually revitalizing the lineages of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands.

The remnant immortals and their group will become enemies again.

"Excellent!" the armless old man cheered. "How could they so easily suppress the descendants of the Seven Kings!"

"You mean your disciple?" Meng Tianzheng realized immediately.

“It’s naturally him, who else could it be?” Yunhua nodded.

The armless old man's gaze towards Yunhua suddenly softened with affection.

Originally, Yunhua was just a stranger, but now things are different, and their relationship has suddenly become much closer.

"Seniors, you can leave this city and recuperate in the rear. Then I will send someone to garrison this place." Meng Tianzheng suddenly said, "I will also come to fight against the alien immortals."

"You have already given enough here."

The armless old man shook his head. "Guarding the imperial city is something passed down in our blood. We will not leave."

"Moreover, we are here to protect, and we also have our clansmen and the bloodline of the Seven Kings to carry on. That is enough."

They would not be swayed by Meng Tianzheng. As long as the threat from the alien realm existed, they would not back down an inch.

“Then let these children come with us,” Yunhua said. “They are all good children. They can grow up better and see more things outside.”

“They have no future in the imperial city; they are still so young.”

"Furthermore, after the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, true immortals will be born, and people will come to support you. You can then gradually rest."

The armless old man hesitated upon hearing this. "But, ancestral teachings cannot be disobeyed..."

It is clear that he also wanted the children of the imperial city to leave, but he was unable to make a decision due to the ancestral precept of eternally guarding the imperial city.

Yunhua immediately said, "I will speak with your king personally later, so don't worry."

At this moment, the group passed by a place that was a huge palace, inside which several figures could be vaguely seen.

Each person was engulfed in flames, their bones and flesh were burned, and their essence and laws were refined.

Seeing everyone's gaze fixed on that spot, the armless old man explained with a touch of sadness:

"Those were several kings who burned their bodies after dying in battle, providing energy to the imperial city and strengthening it."

"Similar to those bonfires outside the Imperial City where True Immortals are burned, but those bonfires forcibly extract the power of True Immortals to stabilize the Imperial City, while the kings do so voluntarily."

The Seven Kings of the Borderlands, during their lifetimes, guarded the Primitive Imperial City, never retreating a single step.

Even after death, they continue to guard the original imperial city, using their bodies to exert their last bit of energy.

Yunhua and the other two bowed before the colossal palace, their faces solemn. A truly respectable person.

Finally, the armless old man led Yunhua and the others to a small hill. There was nothing unusual about it; the land was covered with grass and trees, and it was just an ordinary place.

The armless old man prostrated himself on the ground, paying homage to their king. "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Chapter 1240 A Crow's Mouth

Suddenly, the hill glowed, radiating a peaceful and extraordinary light.

"Get up." A voice rang out from the hill, calm yet exuding a dignified and righteous aura.

"I am delighted to meet you three fellow Daoists today," the voice continued from the small mountain.

"Let the children leave the capital; they deserve a happier life."

Before Yunhua could even bring it up, he had already given his answer.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The armless old man bowed again, his eyes already red.

“We’re incompetent, and the children have suffered all this time. It’s time for things to change,” Wang said in a desolate voice.

"Fortunately, you are still our hope in the heavens and the earth."

"Your Majesty the Holy King..." Tianhuangji called softly, his emotions evident.

If Kunpeng were here, he would naturally address him as fellow Daoist, but he is, after all, merely Kunpeng's weapon.

The only remaining king was neither the Stone King nor the Vermilion Bird King, but a king whose name had never been passed down.

They came from the Holy Clan, and took their clan name as their royal title, calling themselves the Holy King.

"It's alright, there's still hope, don't you think, fellow Daoist Yun who looks just like the Six Paths Immortal King."

The Holy King set up a barrier, instantly pulling them into another space, where the Golden Taoist was located.

"You are still too anxious. Now that the True Dragon, the Second in the World, and the Immortal Gold Daoist have been exposed, the alien realm will be even more vigilant."

Yunhua could tell at a glance that the Holy King had new injuries. The old wounds that were potentially fatal had been healed by the elixir brought by the second-best person in the world.

"I acted impulsively. But I can't stand by and watch the Imperial Pass be like this, and I can't stand by and watch An Lan swagger around!"

Blood trickled from the mouth of the second-best fighter in the world; this injury was caused by the backlash from Tianyuan after his fight with Anlan.

"I foresaw this would happen to you. This is an elixir of immortality; please recover." After distributing several elixirs to the kings, Yunhua looked at the true dragon.

"These are the remnants of the battle after the ancient immortal war. They are all at the immortal level, and I took them out of the Three Incarnations Coffin."

The True Dragon tossed a ball of light to Yunhua. It was a small world resembling the Netherworld, created by the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King.

"I will revive them, but I also intend to give them a second chance. It is easier to become a Celestial King with dual Dao Fruits."

Yunhua took the Netherworld into her inner world and used the inner world's essence to nourish these battle spirits. Once they were somewhat repaired, she would begin the cycle of reincarnation.

"These are the Immortal King spirits of my six fallen brothers. I'm troubling you, fellow Daoist." The Holy King handed over the spirits of six of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands who had died in battle to Yunhua.

Yunhua took out some of his own techniques and gave them to the kings, hoping they could make some progress.

Then, he used his own Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit to condense a jade sword, which would allow the kings to easily control the Heavenly Abyss.

No matter what, Tianyuan was created by his spiritual treasure body with a single sword strike, and the sword power of a quasi-immortal emperor level still remained within it.

"With these, dealing with foreign lands will be much easier." The Holy King was very pleased.

The temporary small world was destroyed, and no one knows what Yunhua talked about with the Holy King inside it.

"Let's focus on recovering first, in case the aliens attack us any second from now," Yunhua said with a smile.

“Alright,” the Holy King replied, and then began refining the elixir.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a deafening explosion rang out outside the imperial city, and the array patterns on the entire imperial city shone brightly.

A colossal figure stood tall, its immortal aura surging and overflowing, visible and felt by Yunhua and the others within the city.

"..." The others glanced outside the city, then turned to look at Yunhua.

Yunhua was speechless.

"Did you call them here?" Tianhuangji asked tentatively.

"What do you mean I summoned him?" Yun Hua was speechless. Who the hell knew how an immortal from another realm suddenly appeared at this time?

This makes it sound like I'm colluding with aliens.

"Recently, the number of immortal beings from other realms coming to knock on our gates has been increasing," the armless old man said with some concern.

They naturally didn't really believe that these people were summoned by Yunhua.

"Is it very frequent?" Meng Tianzheng asked.

“Yes, they’ve been coming to probe us more and more often, probably trying to find out about the situation in Tianyuan and the Imperial City.” The armless old man nodded.

"At this rate, the final battle won't be far off..."

The old man was very worried, hoping that moment would come as late as possible, since now their king had hope.

But things are destined to happen in ways that do not go according to his will.

"How do you plan to deal with this immortal from another realm?" Meng Tianzheng said, "Why don't you let me take action?"

"As you all have said, more True Immortals will be born in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, so it's best to hide our power and buy more time."

The old man shook his head. "With the Imperial City as our backdrop, we are not afraid of these immortals."

“Once he’s tested enough, he’ll back off on his own.”

As long as the Heavenly Abyss doesn't collapse and the Imperial City doesn't fall, the immortals will basically not fight to the death against the Primordial Imperial City, as it's pointless.

The descendants of the seven kings within the imperial city mobilized, taking control of the city to confront the immortals.

This wasn't the first time they'd experienced something like this.

In the early years of the chaotic era, there was even an immortal king knocking on the gate, which was the real catastrophe.

Everyone in the imperial city mobilized; children climbed the city walls and contributed their efforts.

Some children sat by the fire, using their own bodies to transmit the power of the immortals.

This is extremely dangerous; if an accident occurs, they could be killed instantly.

Tianhuang Halberd and Meng Tianzheng secretly spread their power, enhancing the descendants of the Seven Kings.

This won't greatly increase their strength, but it can protect their bodies and keep them from harm.

Or the damage may become less severe, within acceptable limits and allowing for rapid healing.

This is the most they can do without exposing themselves.

But actually, this is enough.

The divine might of the Imperial City erupted, no weaker than when the alien immortals had come to test it before. After a brief struggle, the alien immortals were actually injured and then retreated on their own initiative.

Under the protection of the true immortal Meng Tianzheng, none of the descendants of the Seven Kings died this time; at most, they were injured.

This made everyone cheer. No one died; it was a victory.

After the immortal from another realm retreated and returned to that realm, other immortals were already waiting for him.

"How about it?"
