Covering the Heavens: Its fortune endures forever, sweeping across all heavens.

At this moment, the Second Under Heaven opened his dragon eyes and let out a world-shaking roar that shook the past and present. If any other living being were here, they would definitely be shaken to the point of having their bodies shattered and their primordial spirits withered away.

However, Qin Tian is not among them; he can be considered a leader even among the giants.

Qin Tian placed his hand on the group of immortal magical artifacts and forcefully pulled the rusty spear out of the Second Under Heaven's head, causing the Second Under Heaven to glare angrily and roar incessantly.

However, no magical techniques were displayed on his body. Perhaps sensing the aura of an old friend, the second-best physical body in the world only roared, but did not go berserk.

This saved Qin Tian some trouble.

"Return at once!" Qin Tian shouted, his voice reverberating through the ages. The next moment, a stream of light broke through the Void God Realm and fell into the head of the second-best person in the world.

In an instant, the previously murky and brutal eyes of the Second Under Heaven became clear and cunning, and he roared: "I, the Second Under Heaven, am back!"

The second strongest being in the world subconsciously flapped its wings, stirring up chaos, hazy and terrifying, and emitting a stream of immortal light that made the void tremble.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist!" Immortal Gold Daoist stepped forward and said.

"Hahaha!" The Second Under Heaven laughed loudly, with a slightly lewd tone.

"We've been together for an entire era in the Realm of the Void Gods, how have we grown apart?" The Second Under Heaven slapped the body of the Immortal Golden Daoist, making a clanging sound. His pair of ferocious dragon claws turned red, but the Immortal Golden Daoist showed no change whatsoever.

"Damn, your body is too fucking tough." The Second Under Heaven complained, "It's better to be in the primordial spirit form, it doesn't hurt so much when you fight."

Immortal Golden Daoist rolled his eyes in annoyance. This shameless old man was far too familiar with him.

"What are your plans?" Qin Tian asked.

"I heard that Zhenlong and the others are cultivating in the chaos, leveling up their characters again," replied the Second Under Heaven.

"I want to go see it too!"

"And while I'm at it, I'll also have a friendly spar with the real dragon."

"He reincarnates, and I return; it's perfectly fair." The second-best in the world's dragon eyes gleamed, filled with intense fighting spirit.

Qin Tian said, "Okay, but remember to stay away from foreign lands and don't let anyone notice."

As the one who rescued and brought back all the celestial kings, his prestige among the kings far surpassed that of Liu Dao and Wu Zhong.

"Absolutely, I still have to give some people a surprise!" The Second Under Heaven slowly stretched his limbs, touched his head, and cursed, "Damn it, they even dared to pierce my head with a spear, you bastard."

"Heh heh, An Lan is incredibly arrogant! We must give him an unforgettable memory." The second-best observer in the world, observing the celestial secrets, sensed the impending war in the foreign lands. A dazzling and blazing Crimson Spear stood before the Imperial Pass, ready to launch an attack and pierce the Imperial City that hung eternally in the high heavens.

If even the group of cultivators in the Imperial Pass could deduce the future, how much more so the second-best in the world?

Although An Lan is a Celestial King and has the help of foreign fortune, his purpose should not be discovered so easily.

But there was nothing they could do, since An Lan herself had never intended to conceal her whereabouts.

He was determined to knock on the gates of the heavens, search for the "key," and conquer the nine heavens and ten lands.

This secret was something he deliberately revealed.

He wanted to openly and honestly show it to all living beings in the heavens and earth, so that they would know that the Immortal King was about to knock on the gate, and that all living beings in the heavens and earth should quickly come to welcome and worship him.

After all, in his view, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were nothing more than a group of losers.

Thanks to the design of the previous era, there is not a single true immortal in the Nine Heavens of this era. There is no need to conceal one's existence; one can simply overwhelm them.

After conquering a devastated realm and annihilating a defeated one, why would he need to hide it? That would be a disgrace to Anlan, the King of Ramblings.

The second most sinister person in the world chuckled: "Hehe, An Lan has blocked the gate, that's so domineering."

"Vast and unrestrained, far more domineering than I, the Second Under Heaven!" The Second Under Heaven glared, white smoke billowing from his nostrils. The might of the true dragon resounded throughout the entire forest, and countless powerful beasts involuntarily knelt on the ground to welcome the overlord of the beast path.

The Second Under Heaven sneered, "I'd like to know if he can still maintain this domineering aura once he crosses the Imperial Pass and arrives in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to see so many 'old friends'?"

In the Realm of the Gods, everyone knows Bird Master's personality—an extremely cunning old fox who swindles and cheats everywhere, specifically targeting those who are arrogant and conceited.

He wouldn't allow anyone to be more awesome than him to exist.

"I go first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he tore through the void and went to the Chaos to fight the True Dragon.

"I also need to meet with an old friend. Farewell for now, fellow Daoist," said Immortal Gold Daoist with a hint of apology, before tearing through the void and heading towards Chaos.

Since their separation in the ancient world, he had not seen his old friends for many years. Now that they had all been resurrected, it was only natural that they should have a proper reunion.

"Busy, everyone's busy, it's good to be busy!" Qin Tian sighed and shook his head silently, looking exactly like a lonely old man.

Qin Tian turned his head and looked towards the direction of the borderlands, where an imperial pass that would never fall stood high up, resisting the advance of foreign troops.

"It's about time we made a trip to the Imperial Pass."

Chapter 627 Imperial Pass, Heavenly Emperor Strikes

Qin Tian gazed into the distance: "Since the Second Best in the World and the Immortal Golden Daoist have both been resurrected..."

"We must save these seven border kings in the Imperial Pass, no matter what!"

Qin Tian looked at the Borderland Imperial Pass, a city that was not very large. It was built of ancient stone and reinforced with the Immortal King Array, forming the legendary primitive imperial city that would never fall.

Before the imperial pass built by later generations, this original imperial city, which would never fall, floated above the abyss, protecting the heavens from the invasion of foreign lands.

This legendary city stands there desolate and lonely, and you can feel the mottled marks of war from a distance.

It is a soul, a spirit, an invincible will that has endured the flames of war and been imbued with immortal blood, an immortal soul that has never fallen in a hundred battles.

Although the soldiers here are mostly old, weak, sick, or disabled, these very beings have managed to withstand the attacks from the alien realm time and time again. Among them are many immortals who attempted to breach the pass, were shot down, and transformed into eternally burning suns, becoming the suspended energy of the Imperial Pass.

Beneath this city, countless billions of lives perished—all cultivators, all warriors, each possessing immense magical power.

"These are the soldiers I crave," Qin Tian thought, deeply moved as he watched the scene unfold.

With such fighting spirit and such a fighting soul, it's no wonder that quasi-immortal emperors like Jiu Daoyi will appear later.

The eight hundred disciples of Stone Village are mostly local creatures. In the original story, before the destruction of the Primal Imperial City, Shi Hao brought the descendants of the Seven Kings back to Stone Village.

These children were the precursors to the eight hundred disciples of Stone Village, and perhaps that Nine Paths One Quasi-Immortal Emperor is even currently in the Primordial Imperial Pass.

Compared to the children of Stone Village, the descendants of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands in the Imperial Pass are undoubtedly stronger. They possess the most tenacious will and the strongest bloodline. They have consumed exotic flesh and blood since birth, and although they look thin and bony, they are powerful.

Qin Tian took a step forward and arrived before this ancient city, at this magnificent pass that stood an era before this foreign land.

Before him were piles of burning skeletons, like torches, burning with pale red divine flames. This was the Immortal Array, which had been burning here since the early Chaotic Ancient Era, providing energy for that Imperial Pass.

At this moment, several children appeared on the city wall. They ranged in age from eight or nine to fifteen or sixteen. Their faces were dirty and their clothes were tattered.

They asked in a long voice, "Who are you?!"

"In accordance with the ancient covenant, I have come to support you," Qin Tian said calmly.

"A covenant? Does anyone still remember a covenant?"

"Are you all alone?" an elderly man with only one arm asked, his voice filled with undisguised disappointment.

"What can one person do?" The others also hung their heads in dejection, their cloudy eyes filled with disappointment.

"You should leave as soon as possible!" The one-armed old man sighed, "We appreciate your kindness."

"But hell lies ahead; you need not go any further."

"We're enough here!"

Qin Tian said solemnly, "You should also have enough confidence in those who come after you."

"Now that I have come here to support you, I have enough confidence to fight against the alien lands."

"I alone am worth the entire Immortal Realm." Qin Tian stretched out his arms, embracing the entire universe.

"Comparable to the Immortal Realm... That's a lie." The dark-skinned children looked doubtful. Although they were young and lived in difficult conditions, they were not lacking in scriptures and knowledge.

The Immortal Realm is a vast world far surpassing the Nine Heavens and other realms, incredibly powerful. How could anyone compare to it with their own strength?

Qin Tian smiled without saying a word. The next moment, wisps of majestic aura surged around him, landing on the Imperial Pass and triggering the highest level of warning.

"You are... a Celestial King."

There was a king in the Imperial Pass, so the beings there had seen a true immortal king and naturally recognized what kind of existence Qin Tian was.

That magnificent and sacred aura, that energy that made the Emperor Pass weep, all spoke of his identity and demonstrated his earth-shattering Dao attainment.

"Another king has been born in my Nine Heavens?!"

"But I didn't sense that earth-shattering phenomenon?" The one-armed old man hesitated. A breakthrough for a Celestial King always involves a great calamity, which can be sensed by more than one realm.

However, they did not sense that aura.

"You are truly the Celestial King of my Nine Heavens!" the one-armed old man exclaimed in disbelief.

"Absolutely genuine!" Qin Tian said confidently, showing great tolerance towards these veterans: "I wasn't the only one providing support this time."

"The rest of my fellow Daoists are on their way; they are all very famous and important figures."

"You might even get to know each other."

"The other fellow Daoists?" The one-armed old man was taken aback. What kind of being could be on brotherhood with a Celestial King?

"After sleeping for so many years, it's time to wake up!" Qin Tian's voice pierced through the Imperial Pass and reached the innermost secret chamber.

Clearly, the aura emanating from his disguise also had an effect on this Imperial Pass. As the former leader of the Nine Heavens, he had once graced this primordial Imperial Pass with his presence, commanding all the immortals and fighting against the alien realm.

Inside the secret chamber, a king opened his eyes, a hint of shock flashing in his weary gaze.

"It's him? He's alive again?"

"Could it be that we've really traversed the legendary cycle of reincarnation?!"

The next moment, he appeared before the Imperial Pass.

"king!"

"How did you wake up!" the one-armed old man exclaimed in surprise.

"No need to be wary, our reinforcements have arrived!" One of the Seven Kings waved his hand, revealing a tired smile.

Everyone was stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

They waited an entire era for reinforcements, and they actually... came?!

Each soldier gripped their weapon tightly, tears welling in their eyes, their emotions complex and difficult to decipher.

"Open the city gates!" King Suzaku's hoarse voice rang out. "We welcome our comrades!"

This imperial pass, which had never been opened in an entire era, slowly opened its gates to welcome the arrival of the Immortal King.

As Qin Tian stepped into the primitive imperial city, boundless rosy light shone forth.

This was the initial design procedure for Imperial Pass, intended to welcome the arrival of the king.

It is both inspiring and intimidating to foreign lands.

In the distant ancient era of immortals, once all the celestial kings of the heavens gathered together, causing dozens of divine rays of light to rise from the primordial imperial city, dazzling and brilliant.

On that same day, the King of the Immortal Realm and the King of the Nine Heavens jointly bestowed upon the bloodlines of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands runes representing honor, adding a touch of legend to the Seven Clans of the Borderlands.

However, this auspicious glow was suppressed by Qin Tian before it could rise.

He needs to keep a low profile for now.

"Are you the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King?!" the Vermilion Bird King asked in a trembling voice.

Qin Tian nodded: "I've come to meet you!"

"According to the alliance, you can retreat to the rear to rest now."

Qin Tian patted the shoulder of the Seventh King of the Borderlands, and the power of creation surged forth, filling every corner of his body with the power of transforming soil into human form, probing his physical condition.

His physical condition was shocking, causing Qin Tian to frown.

No wonder even An Lan couldn't withstand it with his own strength. The immortal king's primordial spirit, which was supposed to be indestructible, was on the verge of collapse, and there were scars left by the immortal king's magical artifacts everywhere.

Needless to say, his physical body was also affected, with one forbidden artifact after another inserted into his body, his flesh and blood being less than the number of weapons.

He could barely maintain even the quasi-immortal king realm.

"I'll heal your wounds!" Qin Tian said solemnly.

"You don't need to worry. I know my own situation. My foundation is broken, and there's no way to turn things around." King Suzaku shook his head; he knew his own situation.

The continuous battles that erupted during this era had already dried up his life essence, and his immortal king primordial spirit, which was indestructible through countless calamities, was on the verge of collapse.

"What's hopeless for others is not so for me!" Qin Tian said confidently.
