Chapter 512: Chapter 463 Guardian of Emperor Pass

The rules of the Ancient Road were impeding, not allowing beings as powerful as those of Ancient Great Power to cross from another realm, as it would impact the stability of the cosmos along the entire road.

This was also an influence from the Emperor Pass, rendering the cosmos where the Ancient Road lay far more stable and immortal than other regions, governed by a mysterious force.

Boom—

Inside the Light Gate, immense Divine Power erupted in combat against the principles of the Ancient Road. Countless bursts of light exploded, obliterating the expanse of the cosmos. The entire area vanished; nothing remained but collapsed voids shrouded in dark depths.

"Hmph, you haven’t truly reached the Light Gate, merely attempting from afar to smash the barriers with your own might. You’re overestimating yourself, even if you are an Ancient Great Power," a creature atop the Heavenly Pass coldly snorted, noticing some clues.

The Ancient Great Power hadn’t truly descended nor had he even come close to the Light Gate constructed of steles; it was merely his utmost powerful attacks via the Space Channel.

The world was astounded, yet everyone felt the unparalleled might of the Ancient Great Power. Even from a distance, his strikes with the Dao Divine Ability were earth-shattering, far stronger than anyone present, unmatched in the entire world—a phrase that wasn’t an exaggeration at all.

"The Emperor Pass may have rules forbidding overly powerful beings from leaving, but there are also sufficiently powerful beings who can become guardians of the Emperor Pass, blocking subsequent challengers," spoke another creature on the Heavenly Pass.

"Come forth, guardians of the Emperor Pass, block their assault on the Heavenly Pass, and prevent the arrival of the Ancient Great Power by shattering the Space Channel," declared a creature on the Heavenly Pass.

"Yes!"

A chorus of roars shook the Heavenly Dome, tremoring all the heavenly realms.

At this moment, from the unreachable heights of the Heavenly Pass, suddenly, numerous formidable figures emerged one after another, ranging from humanoid to enormous Great Demon shapes, each distinct.

Indisputably, each figure was as vigorous as the ocean in blood and Qi, at least at the level of Saint Master or above; astonishingly, there wasn’t a single weakling among them.

These beings, numbering in the tens, were comparable to the Heroic Master-level figures in the Alliance Army.

Yet none of this was the focus; most importantly, behind these Saint Master-level beings stood twelve enormous Divine Light Groups, their divine radiance shining brightly, Dao Trace interwoven, emitting vast Divine Power that seemed to crush thousands of miles of land.

The emergence of each Divine Light Group compressed the void further, tearing open terrifying spatial fissures, fearsome to the extreme.

Even the several dozen Saint Master-level creatures paled in comparison to the twelve Divine Light Groups, losing their usual luster.

"Is that... the Heavenly King!?"

All the heroes were shocked and panicked; the faces of the overwhelming majority of the strong within the Alliance Army turned utterly pale.

That represented a truly Supreme existence, incomprehensibly stronger than a Saint Master by untold multiples, transcending Reincarnation, having survived Life and Death Tribulations, traversing the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms without finding a match.

It was known that the Heavenly Pass would have formidable guardians, much like the previous ten Heroic Passes. It was very possible that Heavenly King Invincibles might appear, but the emergence of twelve Heavenly King Invincibles was too shocking, causing everyone to feel an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

One Heavenly King Invincible alone was enough to sweep away all Saint Masters, let alone twelve. Who could contend with them?

These were the guardians of the Immortal Heavenly Pass, indeed far more terrifying than the previous ten Heroic Passes.

"What an enormously powerful lineup, twelve Heavenly Kings descending upon the dust; even the Supreme Sacred Land cannot possess so many Heavenly King-level beings, at least not overtly. Now that they have suddenly appeared, it is indeed unbelievable."

All Heroes clenched their fists tightly, their knuckles whitening; waves of helplessness surged—how were they to resist?

Even possessing Immortal Ancient Weapons, the heroes still felt waves of shivering.

"Annihilate these people, shatter the Space Channel, stop the arrival of the Ancient Great Power; we cannot allow the events of ten thousand years ago to recur," roared a mysterious creature atop the Heavenly Pass, dissolving layers of clouds.

Twelve Heavenly King-level beings descended together; each emanated a sweeping might, far-reaching from the start, pressurizing with tremendous force. It caused the entire Alliance Army to succumb to a terrifying pressure as if mountains were pressing down on their shoulders, significantly losing their moral ground, retreating continuously, unable to bear it.

On the Tenth Heroic Pass, the descendants of the Purple Mansion turned pale. Elder Kushi immediately ordered the city on high alert, preparing for battle, further calling the Alliance Army back into the Tenth Heroic Pass, at least having the protective barrier left by the Purple Mansion Great Power.

Though the hope of complete defense was very slim.

"Retreat is not an option; the Great Power is descending. We only need to fend off for a moment until the Great Power fully arrives on the Ancient Road, then everything will change. Please, take action and guard the Space Gate!"

All the Heroic Masters had serious expressions, but they nodded nonetheless. At this point, with an Ancient Great Power descending in person, retreat was no longer an option.

Boom—

The Heavenly Pass Guardian took action, his first strike sweeping across the entire blood-colored battlefield with waves of the Light of Destruction. The Power of Destruction shattered heaven and earth, aiming at the Tenth Heroic Pass and seeking to completely break the Space Gate to prevent the opposing Great Power from crossing over.

Dozens of Saint Master-level beings followed suit, continuously striking out.

"Fully revive the Immortal Ancient Weapons, gather the troops, and defend!" the Heroic Masters roared, issuing orders and swiftly rallying the army, focusing all their might on reviving the nine Immortal Ancient Weapons.

Nine columns of light shot into the sky, with traces of Great Power Ancient Power reviving as well, withstanding the Divine Power of Heavenly King-level beings, colliding and causing vast swathes of the void to collapse completely, leaving nothing behind.

The entire blood-colored battlefield was plunged into destruction.

The Alliance Army had been formidable, decisively capturing the first nine Heroic Passes, but they were no match for such a terrifying force. Had it not been for the nine Immortal Ancient Weapons reviving and blocking most of the attack, they would have been annihilated long ago.

Still, the casualties were countless. Many chose to retreat back into the Tenth Heroic Pass, with only the Heroic Masters stubbornly reviving the Immortal Ancient Weapons to resist.

"What do we do?" the Heroic Masters were desperate. The continuous revival of the Immortal Ancient Weapons drained a considerable amount of Divine Power, and even with the protection of the Immortal Ancient Weapons, the assaults from twelve Heavenly King-level beings still made the Heroic Masters cough up blood, unable to withstand it.

If this continued, even if the Immortal Ancient Weapons remained, they would all be vibrated to death.

"Keep resisting for a while longer, wait for the Great Power to arrive, protect the Space Gate. Once the Great Power arrives, everything will be reversed, and we can sweep away these Heavenly Pass Guardians," the Ye Family Patriarch murmured. As the patriarch of the Emperor Clan Ye Family, he had an imposing manner. Despite coughing blood at the corner of his mouth, he still maintained his composure and a persuasive demeanor.

A Divine Monk from Western Buddhism also chanted "Amitabha" before saying, "Dear sirs, make your move!"

"Alright, let’s do as the Ye Family Patriarch says."

The Heroic Masters nodded, fully focusing on reviving the nine Immortal Ancient Weapons. Traces of majestic Great Power Ancient Power continuously revitalized, and even the twelve Heavenly Kings dared not directly confront the Immortal Ancient Weapons.

However, despite this, the Heavenly Pass Guardian was too powerful, and the Alliance Army was forced to retreat step by step, with many casualties occurring.

"Ah—"

A piercing scream resounded as a mighty Heroic Master accidentally left the protective circle of the nine Immortal Ancient Weapons. A Heavenly King-level being seized the opportunity and slapped him, a wave of Heavenly King Divine Power surging forth and turning him into a mass of dense blood mist, blood spraying across the sky.

This shocked many; a Heroic Master, a revered person who ruled over a territory, was slain so tragically—chopped down effortlessly, a sorrowful and pitiful sight.

"Elder Yan, is there any way to intervene?" Ye Chen saw even the Taichu Female Saint bleeding from the corner of her mouth, spots of blood blooming like plum blossoms from the lips of the Supreme Divine Girl, both beautiful and ghastly, causing his heart to tremble. He clenched his fists, eager to step forward and fight for her.

Although the Taichu Female Saint was extremely powerful, she was still only in the realm of Saintly Treasure, never a match for a Heavenly King.

The gap was too large. Even as an Immortal True King with Divine Power surpassing that of her Great Realm, it was not enough.

Sometimes the gap in strength cannot be filled by talent alone.

Elder Yan spoke gravely, "Don’t worry, she is strong enough, and we just need to wait a bit longer. The Ancient Great Power is about to descend. There will be a chance for you to intervene and strive for the Immortal Fate!"

"Okay!" Ye Chen replied solemnly.

Boom—

At that moment, from the Space Gate at the Tenth Pass, a sudden violent tremor erupted, with vast swaths of brilliance exploding like a tide, and waves of immeasurable breaths emerging, pushing back the Dao Power of the twelve Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Pass.

"Reinforcements have arrived, and they are not ordinary!"

"It’s the Heavenly Kings!"

Such Divine Power overshadowed the sun, moon, and landscapes, incomparable, achievable only by the Heavenly Kings. And it was not just one or two people; there were as many as a dozen or more, each as majestic as can be. Their immense Supreme Dao Power swept across, countering the twelve Heavenly King-level guardians of the Heavenly Pass.

Twelve Heavenly Kings emerged from the Space Gate, relieving the Alliance Army as they matched up against the twelve Heavenly King-level guardians who had come out from the Heavenly Pass.

It had already been known that the attack on the Purple Mansion Sacred Land was not merely about controlling the Dao Ancient Weapon. There had to be Invincible beings of the Heavenly King Realm coming forth; otherwise, how could they be so negligent in face of the previously Supreme Sacred Land, the Purple Mansion Sacred Land?

Indeed, this proved to be true.
