The ancient beast roared, its body covered in blood-red scales, exuding a terrifying aura; its bloodline was extremely powerful.
The purple-robed youth activated his profound technique, his forehead bone becoming incredibly translucent, emitting countless strands of primordial spirit light, instantly merging with this galaxy, almost reaching the Dao.
Being present in all things, the Way governs the world!
Shi Ming used the "Lin" secret technique to feel the breath of this starry sky, and with a flick of his hand, he drew out one-tenth of the Star River Soul.
This is one of the secrets of the flawless "Nine Secrets: Lin!
By sensing the heavens and earth, one can draw upon the spirit of mountains and rivers to empower oneself!
Having extracted a portion of the star soul from this ancient star field, Shi Ming's hair stood on end, his aura surged dramatically, and his magical power raged like a vast ocean, reaching the Seventh Heaven of the Saint Realm.
The man in purple robes flashed and transformed into two figures, standing atop a peak in the starry sky.
The Calamity Blue Gold Sword also suddenly split apart, Mother Qi of All Things flowing on the sword fell down, condensing into a Xuanhuang Killing Sword.
The two simultaneously activated their sword techniques, their eyes transforming into runes that emanated a terrifying Void.
" Eternal Exile!"
" Sword Buries the Galaxy!"
In an instant, space shattered, the light of the Tai Shi pierced Eternal, and the aura of slaying immortals and destroying gods permeated the air.
Brilliant and dazzling sword light materialized, roaring across the heavens and earth, shattering everything in its path!
Before the sword's edge, even the Sun-Moon, and stars seemed insignificant, dim and without luster!
The Void Beast opposite them looked terrified, as if it had entered a cemetery of gods and demons, and wanted to retreat.
A deafening sound rang out, and the sword light fell, carrying countless Void divine abysses, sealing off all the paths of the Gu Huang —an unparalleled terror.
A cold sword light flashed past, and the Void Beast, its eyes filled with astonishment, instantly perished, its massive body shattering and disappearing into the starry sky.
These are two forbidden Killing Sword from the Divine Forbidden Domain. They are not only " Eternal Banishment " and " Galaxy-Burying Technique ", but also incorporate the killing techniques from the Longevity Sword Art. Not to mention low-level Saint King, even mid-level Saint King cannot withstand them!
Two figures, wielding Killing Sword, coldly gazed at the starry sky, awaiting what would happen next.
Today, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Weapon will surely be born!
"Very strong, much stronger than when I was at the Saint Realm..."
Suddenly, a deep, ancient voice echoed across the star field, carrying a sense of nostalgia and reverie. It resonated like a grand, resounding bell, deeply moving and awe-inspiring.
Shi Ming's gaze sharpened, then he joined his two bodies together and bowed forward. "Junior Shi Ming pays respects to the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor!"
A golden road stretched across the universe and stars, dazzling to the extreme, with light rain scattering everywhere. A man, dressed in a dark imperial robe, with graying hair and a deep gaze, walked step by step from the infinite distance.
The surrounding area roared, and he almost crawled on his stomach, unable to withstand the pressure.
" The Chaotic Ancient Era is gone; I am but a mark!"
The man in the dark imperial robe shook his head, then chuckled and said, "I didn't expect to find someone with an invincible physique. It seems the test I set up was in vain."
Shi Ming, with a respectful expression, solemnly said, "This junior is willing to spread the Great Emperor's teachings throughout the myriad realms, so that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths may know of the Great Emperor's mighty name!"
"There's no need for that. You've studied many scriptures, not just the Chaotic Ancient Scripture. You've come for the Emperor Weapon, haven't you?" The Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor said with a gentle smile, revealing Shi Ming's purpose.
Shi Ming bowed again and began his unique "forbidden zone" narrative, recounting his tragic past.
His parents passed away, sealing him away. In this Lifetime, he breaks free of the seal and is born to suppress the Dark Turmoil!
"The physique formed by the fusion of the Sacred Body and the Innate Dao Embryo is even more powerful than the Sacred Body; the Nine Heavens Sacred Body can rival even the Emperor Dao!"
The man in the imperial robe sensed the bloodline within Shi Ming's body, then smiled with relief, without making things too difficult for him.
He reached out and grabbed, and from the depths of the universe, a streak of light moved at extreme speed, Void, crushing stars, and tearing through the sky.
This is a silver rune, dazzling and exquisitely beautiful, imprinted with the patterns of heaven and earth, unforgettable at first glance.
"This is the military tally!"
The man in the black imperial robe was very nonchalant as he handed the silver talisman to Shi Ming.
The latter took the military talisman, used the Nine Secrets: Bing to refine it, and as soon as he did, the talisman unleashed an overwhelming pressure that soared to the heavens. Large swaths of Chaos mist descended, obscuring countless stars.
Suddenly, Shi Ming felt a connection with the starry sky.
He closed his eyes, calming his mind, then opened them again, reaching out and beckoning. "Bring me the weapon!"
In an instant, the starry sky became chaotic, and countless stars fell, turning into a meteor shower that illuminated the heavens and the earth, dazzlingly brilliant.
This space continued to collapse, the galaxy exploded, and a ball of Chaos light flew out.
The light shone brightly, sometimes transforming into the shape of a battle axe, sometimes into the shape of runes, a single object with two forms, exuding an ancient and weathered aura.
In the void, the Chaos light and the silver symbol merged, eventually transforming into an imperial symbol, its silver radiance dazzling and leaving no trace, radiating a brilliance more dazzling than the stars.
Immediately, Shi Ming's mind stirred, and the Emperor Talisman inhaled and exhaled Chaos energy, transforming into a silver axe that unleashed a fierce killing intent. Countless phantoms of gods and demons appeared, all of them the wronged souls who had been under the axe in the past and were still alive today!
Feeling the immense power of the Emperor Weapon in his hand, Shi Ming bowed deeply. This time, it was a sincere bow, without the slightest falsehood!
The Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor waved his hand and said, "Go, and do not tarnish the prestige of the Chaotic Ancient Era lineage!"
"One day I will bring here the head of the Forbidden Zone Supreme!"
Shi Ming, full of youthful vigor and carrying the Emperor's Axe, spoke with unwavering confidence.
Looking at the brilliance of the newcomers, the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor revealed a slight smile. Then, his entire body transformed into a shower of light, somewhat melancholy and lost in thought, as if recalling everything from the past.
"Of all my past memories, I have one regret: I failed to become an immortal!"
At this moment, the man in the imperial robe lost his overwhelming aura and instead showed a hint of desolation.
His greatest regret was failing to break through the Road to Immortality!
Contrary to popular belief, although the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor suffered many defeats, his combat strength after attaining enlightenment ranked in the upper-middle range among those who existed under the Emperor's Dao. While he was not as powerful as the Heavenly Emperor, he surpassed that of ordinary Ancient Emperor.
At the wrong time and in the wrong place, he stormed into the interdimensional realm between the Otherworld and Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and died on the Xian Dao.
This is a sorrow unique to this world, the funeral song of the Human Clan Great Emperor!
Chapter 497 Desolate Antiquity Remnant
Watching the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor dissipate into a rain of light, Shi Ming's gaze flickered, and he felt inexplicably saddened.
Just like in Purple Mountain, he was not actually qualified to inherit the Extreme Dao Weapon.
His seemingly Chaotic Ancient Era power is merely a superficial layer; at its core, it remains governed by the laws of spacetime, and the scripture he cultivates is not the " Chaotic Ancient Scripture "...
However, just because of a single sentence about quelling the rebellion, this emperor passed on his legacy to him, without caring about anything else, just like the Great Emperor Wushi before him.
" Shi Ming respectfully bids farewell to the Great Emperor. If I, as a junior, ever transcend time and space, I will surely reverse the River of Time and ferry the Great Emperor back. The Heavens bears witness!"
The young man in purple bowed deeply, making a vow of faith, his gaze unwavering.
Hearing the younger generation's words, the man in the imperial robe smiled slightly, thinking that this successor was somewhat ignorant of his own limitations.
To traverse the River of Time and bring the dead back is something even Xian Dao beings cannot do.
"You're a bit too confident, but I appreciate your intention." The Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor spoke softly, his gaze gentle, yet tinged with a hint of melancholy.
Then, the dazzling phantom shattered and vanished, the crystalline divine chains danced, and fine rain of light fell, blooming with brilliant radiance, like a grand funeral song, bidding farewell to the ancient emperor.
Shi Ming gazed at the scene silently, a hint of sadness in his eyes.
The last time I felt this way was when I saw the God-King off...
Suddenly, Shi Ming's gaze sharpened, and he gripped the Chaotic Ancient Era Battle Axe tightly in his hand.
The starry sky was silent at this moment, a stillness that was frightening.
The next moment, countless spatial chains danced, and this ancient star field shattered completely, as if returning to reality from an illusion, revealing a dark underground palace.
It was incredibly dark here, without even a lamp that was always on. Darkness pervaded the place, like an endless abyss, exuding an aura of deathly desolation.
Shi Ming's eyes gleamed with a purple light as he surveyed his surroundings, then he sighed softly.
This place is the tomb of the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor. It is very simple and is made entirely of black stone from the Northern Plains. The walls are covered with ancient murals, including images of gods and demons lying dead and images of suppressing Saint Spirit, telling stories from the Desolate Antiquity era.
In the center of the underground palace, a stone coffin lay horizontally, looking very ancient and covered with traces of an ancient era. It was carved with flowers, birds, fish, insects, the Sun-Moon and stars, and the coffin lid had grooves for battle axes and divine symbols, but it was empty.
Shi Ming bowed and paid his respects to the sage.
Suddenly, the Chaotic Ancient Era Battle Axe in front of him flowed with silver light, bursting forth with a soaring wave, and broke free from his control.
A dazzling light shone forth as the Emperor's Axe pierced through the air and landed on the stone coffin.
At this moment, the grooves of the battle axe and the divine rune merged, and all the intricate patterns on the coffin lit up, radiating mysterious fluctuations.
"This is..."
Shi Ming felt a chill run down his spine, sensing a terrifying pressure emanating from within the coffin.
The imperial coffin opened, and the black coffin lid floated up.
The aura of Ancient Great Emperor spread and filled the tomb chamber.
At such close range, the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo had no way to avoid it, its body trembled, and it almost knelt down.
Sensing the aura of the Weapon Master, strands of silver light dripped from the coffin lid, enveloping him and making him impervious to all magic and unaffected by imperial might.
The stone coffin opened, revealing a majestic body shrouded in Chaos mist. Inside the coffin was an exquisitely crafted black and gold chariot, less than a foot long, resembling a souvenir, stained with imperial blood and pulsating with terrifying energy.
" The Ancient Emperor Chariot is a true Chaotic Ancient Era Chariot!"
Shi Ming's gaze sharpened as he sensed the aura of time emanating from the black-gold chariot. The blood on it was familiar, belonging to the royal lineage of the Saint Spirit Race.
"Bang!"
The ancient chariot transformed into a streak of light, flying out of the stone coffin. In an instant, it grew larger, carrying the Shi Ming on its surface. Its supreme aura permeated the area, piercing through eternity, spreading out from this place and shaking the entire Northern Plains.
Suddenly, Dao Passing afterimage flashed by; it was a scene from the past.
"You must come back!" A young girl whispered by the azure lake, her face filled with worry as she looked at a man in black robes.
The young man nodded silently, without saying anything more.
He wasn't considered outstanding in his generation; there were others who were stronger than him, and he might not be able to return once he left.
The future is fraught with peril; he cannot offer her a future!
After a brief embrace, the young man in black robes concealed all his emotions, rose, boarded the black jade chariot, soared into the sky, and embarked on the Starry Sky Ancient Road.
