All of this was in vain.
"Puff!"
The Immortal Marrow Sword shattered the tide of laws, beheaded the Taiyang Divine Bird, and Killing Sword the pure lightning tribulation power. The Golden Crow mark on the sword became even more ancient and vivid, as if it had come to life.
"Bang!"
The great calamity continued, Su Yu remained calm. Behind him, the ancient palace transformed into a Chaos Dao Diagram, densely covered with killing patterns. At this moment, as he activated his sword, it was as if the Shangqing Heavenly Venerate Venerable had appeared in the mortal world, his sword alone supreme, his might suppressing heaven and earth.
In the Big Dipper Forbidden Zone, upon seeing the Dao weapon resembling the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram, many Supreme felt a chill in their hearts, recalling the Lingbao they had encountered.
"Kill!"
In an instant, Divine Firmament was unsheathed, and with a single strike, the clouds in all directions stirred, slaying countless spirits and besieging the Milky Way!
The sword's killing intent was too strong; someone had condensed a supreme divine law within it, which was even more terrifying than the previous attack, capable of killing someone in A Will Eternal. Even Ninth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm could not withstand it.
This was the decisive blow!
Unlike the previous illusory gods, the Supreme used their full strength. This was the strongest attack they could unleash before breaking the seal. Even those on the Almost-Enlightened One would bleed. It was imbued with the Imperial Dao Laws, and only those who had touched the Big Dragon Immortal Platform could withstand it.
At this moment, the killing intent of the others was also unleashed, appearing out of thin air and directly suppressing Su Yu, aiming to completely annihilate him.
"Snort!"
In the boundless sea of stars, a man in black robes sneered, no longer indifferent. A flute flew out from the top of his head, and runes rained down in the darkness as the Nine Nether Immortal Melody began to brew.
In an instant, celestial clouds floated, and a sea of runes descended, blocking all attacks. Within it, a Chaos waterfall surged upwards, carrying countless natal runes, swallowing up all kinds of killing intent.
However, this time there were too many Supreme making a move. Two beams of immortal light broke through the universe. Although some of their extreme killing intent was dissolved by the Sea of Jiuyou, they were still sharp and crystal clear, transforming into Divine Form, ready to annihilate everything.
At the same time, the jade Jade Ruyi was also moving. The ethereal spirit inside spontaneously combusted, transforming into pure Imperial Dao Laws, which were used to worship the Ancient Emperor Weapon, enabling this magical artifact to become sentient and unleash a sublime strike.
A Supreme strike, and the entire realm trembled!
At this moment, countless powerful beings across the universe trembled, none of them able to withstand such pressure, and some nearby creatures collapsed to the ground.
Within the Phoenix Nest, the Undying Heavenly Empress revived a war drum. This secret artifact retained traces of imperial aura, which barely prevented her from prostrating herself. However, the imperial pressure still caused her to lose her color, and her snow- Ruyu cheeks lost their rosy hue, appearing somewhat pale.
She was only one step away from that level, but that one step seemed like an insurmountable chasm.
Without reaching the Ultimate Realm of the Imperial Dao, everything else is just empty talk.
The appearance of that successor who rivaled Ning Fei in the distance stirred her emotions, causing her chest to heave violently.
"If it were Wu Shi, how could Heavenly Emperor's Divine Self, have been suppressed..." The Heavenly Empress Empress's tone was cold, and she felt extremely troubled by the current situation.
When the Undying Imperial Court once Reign Over All Under Heaven, it was even more domineering than the Ancient Heavenly Court. All Quasi-Emperor had to submit, and those who refused would be conquered.
The Eight Divine Generals have killed more than one Almost-Enlightened One.
As the Heavenly Empress of the Imperial Court, her first thought upon encountering the monstrous talents of later generations was to eliminate them.
If Wu Shi and the Undying Daoist were not alive, everything before us could be resolved.
So what if Chaos Body? So what if one Alternative Dao Attainment?
Before the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Self am but an ant, and all must submit. The current situation can be resolved quickly.
But Wu Shi shattered everything, rendering the Heavenly Emperor's arrangements futile.
Thinking of this, a deep look appeared in the tall woman's eyes, and her originally beautiful face became somewhat sinister.
There's someone else who can help her...
In the dark land, the Jade Ruyi shattered eternity, unleashing true supreme pressure, rumbling and sending down terrifying beams of light.
Further away, two beams of divine light pierced the universe, rushed across vast galaxies, and descended upon the Cosmic Frontier, causing the world to tremble.
In the vast sea of Big Dipper, Gai Jiuyou's gaze sharpened as he coldly glanced at the Immortal Mausoleum and the Primordial Ancient Mine.
That Sea of Jiuyou was something he had painstakingly cultivated using the Nine Secret: Bing, but now it had been breached.
Someone in those two forbidden zones possesses something strange, perhaps a fragment of Wuliang artifact, or perhaps a mark of a celestial weapon; otherwise, it would be impossible for them to break through his sea of runes.
Sensing the fluctuations in energy outside the Imperial Star and hearing Gai Jiuyou's departing figure, laughter erupted simultaneously from both forbidden zones.
"How can one know the Emperor's methods before attaining enlightenment?"
"I once discussed the Dao with Wuliang. Although the Nine Secret: Bing is profound, it depends on who you are dealing with."
The indifferent words rang out, yet the information they revealed shocked countless people: yet another ancient deity from the Mythological Era.
In the midst of calamity, Su Yu's eyes remained calm; even Dao Yi could not move him.
He simply severed his own Supreme.
These decaying beings, placed in the Immortal Ancient war between immortals and immortals, would only be fit to become blood and gore. Let alone fighting against the Immortal of the Foreign Realm, they might not even be able to overcome the hurdle of the Imperial Clan Supreme.
Putting aside everything else, there's the bloodline of the Immortal King of the Foreign Realm, the ancient scriptures and secret techniques of the Immortal King, and immortal artifacts.
This is the Supreme configuration for the direct descendants of the Imperial Clan.
Even if these self-mutilators are superior in terms of the Dao Fruit of the Dharma Ending, can they overcome the barriers of immortal artifacts, Immortal King bloodlines, scriptures, and secret techniques?
He understood the power of immortal artifacts better than anyone else.
In this vast world, apart from that one in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, only he possesses a celestial artifact.
Even without Gai Jiuyou's protection, he was fearless.
"Bite!"
The moment the Jade Ruyi fell, a burst of celestial light erupted, and a torrent of Divine Radiance surged forth. It was a black-gold divine wheel, carrying Heavenly Immortal might, floating above Su Yu's head.
"Roll!"
Su Yu rebuked him, unleashing a Chaos Great Handprint that shone brightly alongside the Netherworld artifact, its Dao light multiplying in countless layers.
In an instant, a tremendous explosion of light resounded, and a deep darkness burst forth, giving rise to Chaos black hole. Yu Li's palm clashed head-on with the ultimate magical artifact, shaking the Human World.
The Jade Ruyi flew backward, the Ultimate Dao Laws swirling around the imperial weapon shattered, and were obliterated by higher-level Xian Dao laws, its brilliance dimmed.
Beyond the endless Void, ascetic cultivators witnessed this scene and were all horrified. They were awestruck by the sight of the Chaos hand striking the Ancient Emperor Weapon, the surging light of the Dao spreading across countless light-years.
"My God, the Chaos Body caught the Emperor Weapon with his bare hands!"
Countless people exclaimed in astonishment, this was simply a myth shattered, beyond words to describe. The Chaos Body had only just entered the Quasi-Emperor, yet it could actually withstand an Extreme Dao artifact.
Does such a person exist in ancient texts? We searched through Desolate Antiquity, the primordial era, and mythology, but found nothing; this simply defies common sense.
"How did he defy the heavens?"
"Is the bloodline of the Mythical Supreme truly this powerful?"
"No, it's a celestial artifact. He borrowed the power of a celestial artifact; it's the Underworld Emperor's Treasure Wheel."
In the Void, a Quasi-Emperor spoke, his tone solemn. He left a wisp of his spirit to observe the situation again, while his main body tore through the starry sky and fled to a more distant place.
The Heaven-reaching Nether Treasure has an owner, controlled by the Chaos Body; the implications of this are enormous.
On the Starry Sky Ancient Road, a man with red hair and red armor stopped in his tracks, also taken aback by the attack.
The Emperor Lord's eyes were cold; the once burning fire in his heart had been doused with cold water, leaving only icy coldness and chill in his heart.
They came out with great force, ready to capture the Chaos Body, but now they have encountered such an unexpected turn of events.
A direct confrontation with the Imperial Dao Yi's attack.
That's what happened to him back in the Divine Ruins. No matter how he resisted, it was useless. He was killed by the Forbidden Zone Supreme, suffering a great humiliation.
But the other party persevered.
"Is this the Son of the Heavens? He obtained the celestial artifact that countless others could not find..."
"I am not reconciled. If I were given a celestial artifact, how could I be weaker than others?"
The Emperor Lord roared inwardly, filled with deep hatred. The distant starlight shone brightly, reflecting his ferocious face, which almost manifested as the Vermilion Bird's head.
This Almost-Enlightened One went astray.
He was filled with resentment, consumed by jealousy of the opportunities presented by the Chaos Body.
It's a celestial artifact! If he were to obtain it, he might not be invincible, but he would at least be fearless in forbidden zones.
"Why did Gai Jiuyou have to appear in this Lifetime? Why doesn't he just die? If it weren't for him, how could the Chaos Body rise to power?" The Emperor Lord's gaze was icy, his eyes filled with gloom.
He was blocked by the Ultimate Realm of the Imperial Dao, making it difficult for him to reach it. This caused the Vermilion Bird Quasi-Emperor to lose his mental balance and develop cracks in his Dao heart.
The source of this change began with the humiliation suffered by the Divine Ruins.
The changes in the outside world have exacerbated this situation, causing the Emperor Lord to stray further and further from the right path.
Suddenly, the red-haired Quasi-Emperor was startled. He had also sensed this, and a chill ran down his spine.
He was on the verge of succumbing to demonic possession; decades of arduous cultivation had come to nothing, and he was growing ever more distant from the gate that symbolized the Ultimate Realm of the Imperial Dao...
At this moment, not only the Quasi-Emperor, but countless geniuses along the Starry Sky Ancient Road fell silent.
Even powerful figures like the Divine Venerable, the Southern Demon, Yin Tiande, Yaoguang felt a pang of regret.
They are about to reach the Great Saint, and that is already very fast, but that person is already undergoing the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation. His divine might is as vast as the sea, alarming the forbidden zone. They are far more wary of him than ever before and want to eliminate him in advance.
To some extent, this is also a form of alternative identity.
Throughout history, only a few Ninth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm have been able to stir the emotions of those in forbidden zones.
Strictly speaking, that Golden Crow doesn't even count.
This Lifetime is special; a Immortal Road has appeared, and some Supreme have awakened ahead of schedule. For them, clearing the field in advance is somewhat necessary.
There shouldn't be a current Great Emperor in this Lifetime, otherwise the threat to them would be too great.
How can one who has severed their own body reach the peak of blood and qi? The most powerful in the Spring and Autumn Period will contend for it. The hidden dangers must be eliminated. This is how the Golden Crow met its demise.
In even more ancient times, the earliest verifiable figure is the Void Emperor.
That era was also the period of most frequent Dark Turmoil, during which the Road to Immortality was opened.
At that time, not only did the Dark Supreme emerge, but some Quasi-Emperor from forbidden zones also rebelled, wreaking havoc on the world.
When the Void Emperor was undergoing the Nine Heavens Tribulation, he encountered a man-made disaster: an Ancient Supreme intervened to sever his path to becoming emperor.
Fortunately, Great Accomplishment Sacred Body appeared in that Lifetime. Although it was in its twilight years, it was still able to rival the Supreme and helped the Void withstand the man-made calamity. Therefore, the latter transcended and attained the position of Heavenly Heart.
Subsequently Great Accomplishment Sacred Body transformed into the Dao, and the new emperor inherited the torch, taking the destruction of the forbidden zones as his mission. He took command of the Big Dipper, went to the Undying Mountain and the Reincarnation Sea to block the gates, and fought a bloody battle across the eight wastelands until his death...
In ancient history, emperors all encountered tribulations in the Nine Heavens, which meant they entered the sight of the Supreme, transforming from ants into young dragons, a transformation that cannot be ignored.
