Chapter 38 Arrival at the Imperial Pass
"Your Majesty, we obey!" the crowd replied in unison, their eyes showing no fear.
Behind them stands the Heavenly Emperor, capable of slaughtering saints; what is there to worry about?
Moreover, since the Heavenly Emperor possesses the divine power to connect with other realms, their safety is naturally assured. They only need to act according to His Majesty's words.
Furthermore, with the temptation of enlightenment before us, what do some dangers matter? Have we not heard the saying, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening"?
Haotian nodded and slowly said, "Prepare to go to this realm to guard the Imperial Pass and quell the unrest."
Without hesitation, everyone replied in unison, "Your Majesty, we are ready."
"Come with me."
Haotian took a step forward and walked straight towards the South Heavenly Gate. The crowd followed closely behind, arriving at the gate, just one step away from stepping out.
Looking up at the South Heavenly Gate before them, everyone was filled with anticipation.
With a thought from Haotian, endless mysteries surged within the South Heavenly Gate, Daoist chants filled the air, and gods and demons sang. Forbidden auras such as "destiny" and "fate" intertwined, reflecting an even more profound scene, containing deep "Dao" and "principle".
As the South Heavenly Gate slowly opened and closed, an even more wondrous sight could be faintly seen: countless threads emerged, piercing through the void and extending into the unknown distance, with no end in sight.
Only a single thread faintly emanated various auras—most of which were negative, echoing those seen in the previous painting.
Taibai, Lu Ya, and Zhao Gongming's pupils suddenly contracted, their shock beyond measure.
These threads... could they all be passageways to other worlds?
They dared not think about what would happen next, but a sense of anticipation arose in their hearts—if it were true, wouldn't their path to enlightenment be secure? Taking it a step further wouldn't be impossible!
Haotian stopped, and an avatar emerged from his main body. He raised his hand and unleashed a strange magical power, causing the silk thread to undergo an unusual transformation.
Immediately, Haotian turned around and enveloped everyone with his magic power, merging into them along the silk threads, and his figure disappeared in an instant.
Nantianmen has returned to peace.
This is indeed the incarnation of Haotian. Due to the primordial primordial energy, the original body and the incarnation are identical. He still needs to oversee the Heavenly Court, so sending an incarnation is sufficient.

Diguan.
The horrific war continues.
An Lan held up the primordial imperial city with one hand, his power unmatched, shaking the world.
On the edge of the ancient imperial city, an old man stood atop the wall, cradling immortal bones in his arms. He leaped, plunging off the wall. The bones within him ignited, releasing an immortal essence—they were determined to perish together!
However, it was to no avail. An Lan, as if supreme, easily erased all power and unleashed his immortal divine might. He had once been invincible, sweeping across the heavens and the earth, writing a bloody history in his hands, to be remembered by future generations.
A gentle bell rang. Anlan's chariot-pulling steed—the old golden-backed ox—moved, its hooves pawing the ancient chariot slowly forward.
Anlan was unparalleled, his combat prowess unmatched throughout history, and he carried that city, intending to cross the abyss.
In the capital, Guanzhong, everyone felt a chill run through them from head to toe—who could possibly stop him?
"The Immortal King!"
Behind An Lan, millions of soldiers roared in unison, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and the desert to shake violently. The army parted to make way for the war chariots.
"They have a slight advantage and are about to break the balance, forcing their way across the Heavenly Abyss!" A renowned elder on the city wall spoke, his voice filled with despair. The difference in strength was undeniable; without True Immortals or Supreme Powerhouses, there was simply no way to stop them.
"I don't want to be called a coward after I die. Even if I'm no match for the enemy, I will fight, and let my blood stain the sky to prove my will!"
"Fight your way out! Fight to the death! Now's the time!"
Emotions were ignited, and everyone was no longer depressed; their fighting spirit was high.
One of the old men was once a peerless warrior, now old and frail, yet he never retreated. His voice boomed, overpowering everyone: "You are the seeds of the future, still young, with a vast world awaiting you."
With that, he carried a stone tablet on his back and walked out of the Primordial Imperial City—it was the Immortal Suppression Tablet! Legend has it that once activated, this tablet could suppress and kill True Immortals and slay Immortal Beings; it was a forbidden ancient tablet left behind by the Immortal Ancients.
"The Immortal-Suppressing Stele, come with me to suppress that immortal being and slay that king!"
The old man whispered, chanting ancient incantations, then roared. His entire body erupted with boundless light, his blood burning and boiling—he offered himself as a sacrifice, urging the monument to charge towards the ancient war chariot.
At the same time, the stone tablet glowed, and blood-red runes intertwined, flying forward with a chilling aura.
Inside the chariot, An Lan remained silent and motionless. The chariot beneath him radiated immortal light, and patterns of laws intertwined, striking the stone tablet.
Click!
The blood-stained Immortal-Suppressing Stele broke into several pieces, crumbling and falling to the ground around the chariot. It was impossible to get close to it.
puff!
The old man's body was also slashed and exploded on the spot.
This scene deeply pierced the hearts of countless people within the Imperial Pass. A supreme being risked his life, fighting with his lifeblood to activate the Immortal-Suppressing Stele, yet he died in this way.
People were in despair. The Emperor's Gate had played all its trump cards, yet to no avail. If An Lan were to successfully cross the river, the world would be turned upside down, and this era would be doomed.
A Realm of Despair —
However, at this moment, a portal appeared in the sky.
The portal crushed the heavens and the earth, causing the void to shatter continuously. The primordial imperial city and the alien army trembled, feeling an immense pressure.
It lies horizontally in the sky, containing boundless Daoist principles and the power of numerous laws, terrifying beyond compare. Its dazzling and blazing light illuminates the nine heavens and ten earths.
At this moment, both the millions of troops from foreign lands and the people in the original imperial city looked up in awe.
The same is true of the wilderness.
Looking up, one could finally see the portal clearly: ancient, sacred, vast... it was imbued with all sorts of terror, and surrounded by forbidden auras such as "destiny" and "fate." Chaos lingered, making the portal seem like a dream, as if one were standing between nothingness and reality.
Especially when the portal opened, one could vaguely see a vast world floating within it, incredibly large, with an ancient aura flowing out. Even just a glimpse of it was terrifying.
At this moment, all living beings were astonished.
"Where is that?"
"Has there ever been such a terrifying world in the entire universe?"
"No, this definitely doesn't belong to this world!"
……
People are speculating.
All living beings in the heavens and earth were drawn by this terrifying aura.
Huang's gaze deepened, his heart trembling: "What world lies behind that door? And what kind of magic is behind that door?"
Meng Tianzheng's expression was solemn: "The alien realm actually has such methods. The Imperial Pass is about to fall!" His heart was filled with gloom.
The power of this portal is terrifying. Throughout the entire history of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, such methods have never been heard of. It must originate from another realm!
Just as everyone was speculating, an immense power from within the portal pressed down on An Lan—as if it were intentional, or as if it manifested autonomously.
An Lan's mount, the golden-backed ox, roared like thunder, its heart filled with terror. As the aura of the portal dissipated, its bones creaked incessantly.
Click!
With all four leg bones broken, it lay paralyzed on the ground, trembling.
The scene was truly astonishing—it was the ancient beast that pulled the chariot of the Immortal King, who would dare to touch it?
But this mysterious portal that suddenly appeared was so unrestrained, slowly pressing down, and the boundless forbidden aura caused the bones of that wild bull to break continuously.
With a crackling sound, it lay there completely paralyzed.
An Lan, inside the chariot, remained unmoved, his expression indifferent as he stared at the door. He sensed that someone was about to approach from behind it.
He spoke slowly, his voice shaking heaven and earth: "The king cannot be insulted!"
"If the Heavenly Abyss hadn't been torn apart, opening a portal to spacetime and drawing you down with it, injuring my mount... that wouldn't even be considered a major disturbance or sudden change. But if we had gone any further, it would have been a cataclysmic event!"
He once swept across the heavens and the earth, possessing an invincible belief. Even if beings from another world came, he remained fearless.
However, the next moment—
Six figures emerged from the portal.
An even more magnificent voice resounded throughout the heavens and the earth, shaking the primordial imperial city.
Even in every corner of that foreign land, the following could be clearly heard:
"The Lord of Heaven—Emperor of the Gods—Ruler of all Heavens—Commander of all Saints—Master of all laws and paths—Dominator of the creation of the universe—Nurture of all things—Balance of the Three Realms—Ruler of all spirits—The Supreme Jade Emperor of the Golden Palace of the Vast Heaven, the Naturally Wondrous and Existing Jade Emperor, the True and Ultimate One, has arrived!"
