Blood was dripping from his brow, and a terrible crack appeared. A force that had severed his foundation invaded, making his primordial spirit unstable and severely damaging his vital energy.
"You defeated him, a legendary ancient god, the Undying Heavenly Emperor, at the same level. How could you be so strong? Even Ancient Emperor was no match for you..."
Wang Teng was somewhat distraught, feeling that he had reached the lowest point in his life, that his hopes for the Imperial Path had been extinguished, and that everything was over.
He had experienced a breakdown of his Dao heart when Su Yu enslaved him, but Su Yu displayed a divine soul power far exceeding that of the first First Heaven of the Immortal Platform, which convinced him.
However, this time it was a bloody reality; he suffered a crushing defeat before the Undying Heavenly Emperor and was nearly annihilated.
Especially after he mentioned Su Yu, the Undying Heavenly Emperor changed his previous elegance and peace, transforming into the World-Destroying Immortal Phoenix, and directly used the Divine Phoenix Undying Seal and Soul Control Art to instantly obliterate two-thirds of his divine sense.
If he hadn't cultivated the "Previous" Secret Technique and possessed powerful primordial spirit, he probably wouldn't have made it back this time.
This also implies that Su Yu has most likely defeated Undying Heavenly Emperor of the same level, otherwise that person wouldn't have reacted so excessively.
Seeing that the Northern Emperor was seriously injured, Su Yu moved his divine sense and sent out two wisps of Chaos energy to support Wang Teng's physical body. Then he took out a jade bottle.
The source gushed forth, and drops of Divine Spring Liquid, crystal clear, seeped into Wang Teng's wounds. The Life essence emanated from the water, radiating a dazzling brilliance, nourishing his body and soul, permeating his limbs and bones, and healing his injuries.
This feeling was very pleasant. Under the influence of the Divine Spring, Wang Teng even felt the "doors" within his body trembling, as if they were awakening the Source God of his physical body...
However, his heart was cold, and he felt that his future was shrouded in uncertainty. The path to the throne was blocked, and his obsession had vanished.
"Why? We're both from the Eight Prohibitions, so why is he so strong?" Wang Teng murmured to himself, a look of despair in his eyes.
This time, all his pride vanished; in a battle against someone of the same level, he suffered a complete and utter defeat.
Without Su Yu, losing to an ancient god wouldn't be a big deal. However, he and Su Yu Lifetime in the same era, and there can only be one Imperial Dao Fruit position, so one of them was destined to fail.
Moreover, at this inopportune moment, Su Yu asked, "Did he use Divine Prohibition?"
" Divine Prohibition? Eternal Divine Prohibition? You fought the Undying Heavenly Emperor in his Divine Prohibition State state, how is this possible?" Wang Teng turned around with difficulty, his gaze burning as he looked at Su Yu.
"That's right!" Seeing the Northern Emperor gasp in surprise, Su Yu felt quite pleased.
To be fair, his attitude towards Wang Teng was relatively mild. He possessed three imperial Dao Scripture and Nine Secrets divine arts from three sects. If Wang Teng hadn't been constantly rebelling in front of him, he wouldn't have resorted to such drastic measures.
"As I said before, the ultimate path is not our end. In this Lifetime, follow me, and we will Flying Immortal together. The Central Emperor has already taken the first step. With your talent, you are destined to prove yourself."
After the punishment, Su Yu began to use gentle words, hoping that Wang Teng would come to his senses.
To his disappointment, Wang Teng lay silently in the mist, his eyes closed, a look of struggle on his face, revealing no emotion he was hiding.
Several dozen breaths later, Wang Teng opened his eyes, his heart filled with mixed feelings and his expression complicated.
"Why bother? I can't see through someone like you. You stole my Chaotic Ancient Era Legacy, and now you want me to follow you..."
"What use is someone like me to you? Why do such a foolish thing? On the road to the Emperor, the loser only faces death; there is no such thing as following."
The Northern Emperor stood up with difficulty, his face pale and his divine power weak. He spoke with a hint of dejection.
A gentle breeze swept by, and the two sat down on the futons. Su Yu said solemnly, "If Chaotic Ancient Era had been like you when he was young, there would be no Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor later on."
"Throughout history, there has only been one Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor. With you in this Lifetime, there is absolutely no hope." Wang Teng smiled bitterly, his heart filled with sorrow, feeling that everything had vanished like a bubble.
The earnest hopes of loved ones, the expectations of the Elder Crane, and one's own ambitions—all these things have become yesterday's illusions, turning into the sands of time, slipping through one's fingers, elusive and intangible.
Chapter 338 Dreaming Back to the Immortal Ancient
Inside the Phoenix Blood Divine Hall, the roof is covered with crimson glazed tiles, inlaid with scattered fragments of Blood Diamond that intertwine to form patterns of the Great Dao. From afar, a magnificent immortal Immortal Phoenix floats gently, incredibly lifelike.
"How much do you know about this world?" Su Yu whispered.
"The imperial path has failed, what's the use of saying more? It all ends here." Wang Teng looked haggard, tears streaming down his face, his heart filled with despair.
Unlike Ji Haoyue, his life was even more bizarre. He later received the inheritance of the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor, making him a true prodigy on the path to becoming an emperor, with the bearing of Great Emperor.
Conversely, he was also more proud. When Su Yu placed the Thought Restriction on him, his Dao heart almost collapsed, and his only obsession was to remain undefeated among those of the same level.
He is not afraid of the ancients. Give him time, and he will surpass everyone. When that time comes, he will sweep across the Lifetime and destroy all enemies.
However, he never got that chance. He lost to the Heavenly Emperor's body, while the other won. Moreover, Su Yu possessed the legendary Eternal Divine Prohibition. These facts filled him with despair.
Although he inherited the legacy of the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor, he did not possess the same unwavering Dao heart as the Chaotic Ancient Era.
"Is this your magnanimity? Even among those who reach the pinnacle of their cultivation, there are differences in strength. The Undying Heavenly Emperor has existed for millions of years, striving in the mortal world, and is one of the most powerful beings under this starry sky."
Su Yu's voice was extremely pleasant to the ear, and coupled with the faint fragrance of Divine Medicine, his words were imbued with Daoist charm and exuded a pure and refreshing aura, like a mountain stream flowing gently down, making people believe him.
"Such bizarre words again. How could you, a person of this era, know about the ancient events of the Primordial Era? Undying Heavenly Emperor were still alive, how would later generations attain enlightenment? This is full of loopholes." Wang Teng sneered, not caring about these words.
After this blow, his Dao heart was cracked, and in his despair, he had no more scruples. However, in front of Su Yu, he couldn't even commit suicide, so he wanted to provoke the other party and numb himself with pain.
"You don't believe me?" Su Yu smiled calmly, looking directly into Wang Teng's eyes.
Wang Teng sneered, "No one will believe that the Imperial Path exists Undying. Its Ultimate Dao Laws will forever be imprinted on the world, preventing future generations from attaining the Dao. This is an ironclad rule, as immeasurable as Immortal Gold, and no one can break it."
"Have you ever entered the forbidden zone? Your limited perspective restricts your imagination. Do you really understand this world? The ephemeral mushroom doesn't know the difference between dawn and dusk, the cicada doesn't know the difference between spring and autumn, and the summer insect can't discuss ice. So you're just an ordinary person, no different from those arrogant Holy Lord like the Big Dipper." Su Yu said calmly.
"What exactly are you trying to say? What secrets lie hidden within the restricted area?"
Wang Teng frowned. He knew that the other party had a mysterious background, possessed the inheritance of the Great Emperor Wushi, had Emperor Weapon, and also had the inheritance of the Undying Heavenly Emperor.
For some reason, he felt a stirring in his heart, sensing that what the other person said was true, as if he were about to encounter the most mysterious aspect of this starry sky.
"The Seven Forbidden Zones of the Big Dipper harbor ancient Great Emperor and Ancient Emperor, including even the Nine Heavenly Venerable of Daoism. The Great Emperor Wushi Faith Body who defeated you was suppressed by the Great Undying Heavenly Emperor Wushi within the Saint Cliff."
A Order Divine Chains flashed in Su Yu's eyes. He closed his eyes, and an aura of ancient times emanated from him. In the distance, his figure gradually blurred, as if he no longer existed in this space-time and had fallen into the River of Time.
"The shackles of the imperial way cannot be broken; Gai Jiuyou from nine thousand years ago is proof of this!" Wang Teng shouted.
Within the Chaos energy, a slender figure existed Eternal, shrouded in mist, impervious even to the Heavenly Eye, making it difficult to discern his true appearance. Su Yu parted his lips slightly, uttering a faint Daoist chant.
" The Heavenly Heart Imprint can restrict future generations, but if those beings were to sever their own swords and willingly relinquish their Dao Fruit status, everything would be different. Divine Source and Immortal Source cannot seal the current Great Emperor, but they can allow a self-severing Supreme to seal themselves. Compared to their own existence, what is the Heavenly Heart Imprint? They were defeated by Longevity and did not want to disappear into the River of Time, so they created their own forbidden zones. This is the secret of this world!"
"This... this is impossible."
Wang Teng was shocked and couldn't imagine that if the seven forbidden zones all had Supreme beings of the imperial path lying in wait, then what was the Emperor's Path? In the future, people would still need the permission of the forbidden zones to achieve enlightenment.
This is an extremely terrifying fact: the Great Emperor is no longer a symbol of invincibility; beneath the starry sky, the forbidden zone will forever exist!
Seeing that the Northern Emperor was lost in thought, Su Yu revealed another secret. "Six thousand years ago, the Tianxuan Holy Land possessed Great Saint and Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon. At that time, Tianxuan was the strongest Holy Land in the Eastern Wasteland. When the Road to Immortality opened, Tianxuan led its entire sect to storm the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, ultimately leading to the destruction of the Holy Land."
"Throughout the universe, forbidden zones possess Immortal Medicine and Divine Spring. Even the most powerful Ancient Emperor Clans didn't have such divine objects. Have you ever considered why forbidden zones possess them?"
A look of disbelief crossed Wang Teng's eyes as he murmured, "Is this the truth behind the Emperor's Path...?"
Smoke swirled and Chaos surged, blurring the figure on the futon, vaguely conveying an ancient and Eternal atmosphere.
Su Yu's gaze grew increasingly profound. Time Dao swirled around him as he silently began to circulate the " Wushi Scripture "...
The faint sound of flowing water pierced through the haze and truly arrived in this world. In a moment of temporal and spatial distortion, Wang Teng awoke.
He looked closely and found himself standing in the Ancient Emperor Mountain, with the Heavenly Emperor Sacred Sword and the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Talisman in front of him shining like stars.
However, unlike before, he seemed to have forgotten everything from before, as if he were reliving his life. But this time, he didn't encounter Su Yu...
After leaving the Ancient Emperor Mountain, he reigned supreme in the Northern Plains, enjoying unparalleled glory. He was revered as the Northern Emperor by cultivators from the Five Regions, and his fame shook the Big Dipper. Soon after, he received an invitation from the Qishi Mansion to travel to the Central Province.
Within the Qishi Mansion, his cultivation speed was extremely fast, and he soon stepped into the Immortal Platform Second Heaven, overwhelming all the younger generation and leaving them breathless.
Under the tempering of the "Former" Secret Technique, within a few years, he established himself at the Holy Lord level, and moreover, he was an unparalleled Holy Lord in the Eight Forbidden Domain. Only a handful of people could be ranked alongside him, and many people held high hopes for him. The Central Province Dynasty and the Desolate Ancient Family all extended olive branches to him, wanting to form marriage alliances with him...
One day, he awoke with a start and discovered that the divine sense he had left on his younger brother had been severed. It was the work of the immortal body An Lan, who was a descendant of a small family and had obtained the inheritance of the Immortal Ancient Era.
Facing An Lan, who Dragon Transformation First Transformation realm, he was arrogant and did not take him seriously. He issued a decree, sending two Ancient Clans servants to remove the immortal body's head.
However, the other party acted without restraint, killing his servant and offending his dignity, which enraged him. He wanted to personally take action to send the immortal body to its end, but he was held back by some matters...
Later, he wanted to form a marriage alliance with Blood Phoenix Mountain. When the deal was about to be finalized, the immortal An Lan arrived with a golden battle spear.
Even though he had mastered the Heaven-Chaos Secret Art and possessed unparalleled divine power, capable of annihilating the Lord of the Holy Land, he was still powerless against his opponent. He was reduced to a pile of bloody mud under the golden spear, and if it weren't for the Chaotic Ancient Divine Talisman saving his life, he would have surely perished on the spot.
Later, he harbored demonic thoughts and accepted the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor Ao Sheng, merging with him. Unexpectedly, that being harbored evil intentions and wanted to possess him. After he suppressed the remnant god of the Ancient Emperor, he encountered Yu Tuo, the holy son of the Eternal Holy Land, and was defeated by him at the same level.
If it weren't for the crane's rescue, even the Chaotic Ancient Divine Talisman wouldn't have saved his life. After recovering from his injuries, he encountered a mysterious person, who repelled him with a single spear thrust. That person was none other than the immortal An Lan.
After two crushing defeats, his Dao heart was incomplete, and the Demon Embryo in his sea of consciousness re-emerged, wanting to fight him for his physical body... Not long after, he heard the news of his family's destruction, which was the work of the immortal body An Lan in collusion with the royal family of the Foreign Realm.
This time, he went completely mad, his Dao heart shattered, and he accepted the Demon Embryo. He wanted to take revenge on An Lan, and he turned on his friends with immortal bodies, wanting to make them suffer for the rest of their lives...
Within the Chaos energy, Wang Teng's pupils were filled with a light of hatred, almost to the point of madness. His hands were trembling slightly, and half of his body was convulsing. He was plunged into the deepest pain.
A faint image of a Bodhi Tree appeared and disappeared, swaying slowly in the light and shadow. Su Yu quietly watched the Northern Emperor. This was an illusion he had created by combining his knowledge with the Wushi Secret Art and the Bodhi Tree phenomenon.
Tears of blood welled in Wang Teng's eyes, filled with the pain of being annihilated. He opened his eyes, his long black hair flying wildly, his pupils transforming into two dazzling runes that shot out lightning, and his divine sense undergoing a metamorphosis...
In his final moments, he witnessed his physical body shatter and his primordial spirit fragmented by An Lan's attack, and he reached the end with endless resentment and pain!
" An Lan, Yu Tuo, Ao Sheng!"
Wang Teng's face was cold, his killing intent shook the heavens, and his eyes shone brightly, revealing a deep starry sky with scenes of destruction and the flourishing of the revival of all things.
Strands of sacred and crystalline divine thoughts emerged, as if all living beings in the world Flying Immortal. The rain of light was so vast that it overwhelmed the Phoenix Blood Divine Hall.
Chapter 339 Dream of Jade Lake
In the Chaos Immortal Land, Su Yu carried a goddess in his arms as they approached a divine temple.
With a wave of his sleeve, the palace doors opened, and a rich Life essence emanated from them, radiating light in all directions, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.
This is one of the three divine palaces he retrieved from the Purple Mountain Treasury. All the furnishings are sacred items, making it the most precious celestial treasure.
Inside the main hall, shimmering light danced like gold, and still reflections sank like jade. Within lay a sacred pool, mist rising, its clear, pure water exuding a faint, ethereal Immortal Qi.
Suddenly, the mist above the spring water intertwined and changed, revealing a Dao Comprehension Divine Tree. White Immortal Qi permeated the air, accompanied by a rain of seven-colored light. When the rain of light fell, its sound was melodious, like heavenly music.
Zijun paid no attention to the extraordinary nature of this place. A hint of greed lingered in her eyes as she held Su Yu tightly, her starry eyes slightly closed, as if she had fallen into a beautiful dream and did not want to wake up.
This scene has frequently appeared in her dreams over the past year, and each time it occurs, it makes her...
"Squeak!"
With a soft click, the palace doors closed, and through the dim light, a woman in a silver dress, with fair skin and jade-like bones, and a beautiful and graceful appearance, appeared. Dark clouds lay across her starry robes, and light rain danced with tender emotion. Her skirt fluttered slightly, creating a dreamlike and enchanting scene, with a subtle fragrance wafting in the air.
Su Yu took a step forward, and in an instant, countless strands of dark Void Dao patterns surged forth. The intricate patterns on his Sacred Immortal Robe shone with magnificent divine radiance. He sat down on a purple jade couch and laid the woman in his arms down...
On the jade couch, Zijun lay weakly in Su Yu, her eyes slightly dazed. She was tall and slender, with a graceful figure and unparalleled beauty. Through the hazy skirt, her two fair, snow-white legs shimmered in the light, a sight to behold.
The Thousand Illusions Star River Immortal Garment shimmered with beautiful starlight. Su Yu's features were exquisite, his black hair cascading down his shoulders. His expression was gentle, and wisps of Chaos energy swirled around him.
Gazing at the celestial face so close to his, and feeling the subtle fragrance emanating from her skin, Su Yu's lips curled into a radiant smile. In an instant, a lotus of Daoist charm bloomed, and celestial light flowed around him. He seemed like an unfathomable being from a Immortal Domain, as if he were about to ride the wind and leave this world.
Zijun's heart softened, her beautiful eyes shimmered like autumn water, her heart stirred, and she fell into a state of intoxication, her eyes sparkling with a strange light as she succumbed to this tenderness.
