The next moment, the ancient bronze coffin soared into the sky, carried away by the Chaos chains, leaving behind only a few heart-wrenching cries.
"No!
"My transformation isn't over yet, Lord Palace Master, this isn't fair..."
In the dazzling starry sky, a hazy celestial glow rose from the bronze coffin, and a humanoid figure appeared, struggling to break free of the Chaos Celestial Chains. But how could the divine power of Saint King contend with that of Supreme?
"Fellow Daoist Duan, I will grant you an extraordinary Fortune!"
Chaos energy filled the air, and Su Yu's voice rang out, seemingly to soothe the creature in the coffin. But the creature inside screamed even louder, like a pig being slaughtered, unable to calm down at all, and even trying to push open the coffin lid to see the world again.
"This humble Daoist priest does not Fortune..."
Before he could finish speaking, a massive hand of law descended, instantly pressing the creature in the coffin back inside. Chaos light ripped through the cosmic sea, accompanied by screams of agony...
In the Mythic Battlefield, the Supreme Beings stood on their platforms, watching the God Emperor's corpse before them, while also observing the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation beside them, hoping to gauge the true strength of the Chaos Body.
In the previous interstellar war, the Kun Emperor was unable to ascend, and its combat power was severely limited, allowing Su Yu to remain composed throughout without revealing too much. This Great Completion Tribulation, however, presents an opportunity to observe...
Not only the Supreme illusory god who has appeared, but also several Ancient Emperor in the void are scrutinizing the situation.
"Boom!"
In the outside world, the ninth level of the Immortal Tribulation became even more intense. A humanoid brand exploded, and Gu Tianzun, who had mastered the secret of the word "Zhe", came to an end. He was chopped into powder by the sword of the Immortal Tribulation Technique, and was later devoured by the Tribulation Master. The whole process was tragic and magnificent, involving many star fields, shaking the great universe...
"It seems this tribulation won't stop him. No wonder he dared to face us directly during his tribulation; he is quite extraordinary." On an ancient war chariot, amidst the vast expanse of Chaos energy, sat a middle-aged man with flowing black hair, vigorous blood energy, and eyes as bright as lightning.
This is the Spirit Emperor, the supreme Saint Spirit Emperor transformed from innate auspicious energy. He has sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, wears an autumn-white crown, and is draped in a battle robe depicting mountains, rivers, and the universe. He shows no signs of decline; on the contrary, he exudes a powerful aura, like a dormant emperor.
" The Nine Secrets combined into one immortal technique, and that sword manual bearing the name of Immortal Tribulation... This child's origins are astonishing; perhaps he is a fallen Immortal Spirit from the Immortal Domain."
A flash of celestial light appeared as the old woman from the Immortal Mausoleum spoke. Two beams of strange light shone from her wrinkled face, locking onto the man fighting in the Sea of Tribulation from beginning to end.
The battle in the Thunder Sea reached a boiling point. A streak of light roared through the Sun-Moon, standing tall in the most powerful domain. It merged with the Immortal King's Dharma Body, truly possessing an invincible aura. Every move it made transcended, directly confronting the Dao Venerable who had mastered the secret of "number".
"Puff!"
The sound of a sword pierced the universe, and the ancient Dao Venerable's body shattered inch by inch, splattering blood high into the air. Even with his three bodies combined, he was no match. The perfected Immortal Tribulation Sword Art was too fierce, cleaving through order and slicing through the Great Dao, enough to kill everything.
The calamity light was like a waterfall, Su Yu fought with increasing ferocity, maneuvering freely amidst the Purple Heaven Thunder, constantly unleashing sharp sword energy, and battling relentlessly with the three remaining ancient Heavenly Venerable.
This battle was fierce. The three humanoid emperor figures possessed astonishing strength. With their fingers and palms interlocking, the light of the Great Dao spread across the sky, displaying unparalleled power. They directly confronted the immortal techniques and the Ten Fiends Precious Techniques, holding their own in the slightest.
However, this kind of combat power cannot last. In the end, it is just a mark imprinted by the Heavenly Dao, not the supreme Heavenly Venerable of the Mythological Era. Even if it bursts out with peak combat power under the stimulation of immortal techniques, it is only a moment of amazement, like the epiphyllum, which withers quickly after blooming and falls from that special state.
"Hiss..."
The sea of lightning surged, Chaos creatures, with their slender figures, moved with a vast rhythm. Though seemingly slow, their steps touched the Time Divine Domain. All that could be seen were afterimages; their true forms had transcended, standing alone atop the palace complex.
Suddenly, a beam of immortal light pierced through Eternal, and the Tribulation Transcender broke through the cosmic sea to attack. Behind him, crimson clouds were like a painting, and smoke and mist intertwined. A huge True Phoenix flapped its wings, and its long feathers were as red as blood, beautiful to the extreme.
The flawless True Phoenix Precious Technique has reappeared in the Nine Heavens since the Chaotic Ancient Era!
This Dharma image was so enormous that it filled the Milky Way, like a great sun illuminating half the universe. Exclamations of surprise came from all over the heavens and earth, and countless beings witnessed the scene of the True Phoenix spreading its wings and striking the sky. Even the nine Heavenly Venerable could not stop it.
The phoenix feathers shone brilliantly, their crimson tinged with gold, illuminating the heavens. Each feather fell, transforming into unparalleled destructive sword energy that shattered the ancient starry sky. The violent aura caused the Ancient Emperor watching from beyond the realm to be shaken to their core, unable to calm down.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the Ancient Heavenly Court Palace was utterly destroyed, and the three Dao Venerable met their end, their bodies transforming into lightning and vanishing from the world.
This attack not only destroyed the Dao Venerable Tribulation, but also shattered the heavenly tribulation clouds. A towering Heavenly Immortal Tree rose from the ground, took root in the Chaos Sea, and shone brightly alongside this vast world. Immediately afterward, a great cataclysm began, and countless Humanoid Lightning that had been gathering into nascent forms shattered, transforming into bewitching flames that illuminated this ancient battlefield with unparalleled holiness.
As the towering flames subsided, a tall, slender figure emerged from the True Phoenix Art, with endless ruins behind him, like the end of an era. The scene was epic, imbued with a profound sense of time...
The calamity clouds dissipated, revealing Su Yu's glistening hair and undiminished aura, much to the disappointment of many.
Amidst the crimson haze, the true form retracted into a pure energy avatar, standing calmly on the Dao Platform, gazing upon the assembled Supreme Void Gods.
His eyes gleamed with divine light as he glanced indifferently at a point in the Void and said, "Four fellow Daoists over there, since you've come, why bother with concealment? Why not meet them?"
As soon as the words fell, the Supreme Gods present fell silent for a moment. Then, four thick beams of immortal light roared through the Sun-Moon, and the hidden Ancient Supreme appeared, standing with the Corpse Emperor and the Kun Emperor, confronting Su Yu, Gai Jiuyou, and Chuan Ying.
" Spirit Emperor, Roc Emperor, Immortal Matriarch..."
Su Yu named the three people, but paused when he got to the fourth. Although his face remained calm, his heart was stirred.
This guy actually came? That's strange. Wasn't he determined to ascend to Road to Immortality on the Flying Immortal Star? Beings at this level firmly believe in themselves and wouldn't change their minds without reason...
Thinking about what he had done to the Dragon Maiden, Su Yu felt unusually uneasy. Among the Great Ancient Emperor, his attitude towards the Myriad Dragon Emperor was different.
Of the Ancient Emperor in the original work, the Dragon Emperor is the only one who wants revenge for his daughter, even going so far as to bully the weak and kill all of Ye Fan's relatives and friends. This kind of protectiveness is cruel to enemies, but very kind to relatives.
Now, the causal chain has shifted, Su Yu has won over the Dragon Maiden. Although there were some unpleasant twists along the way, the two eventually got along quite well. He admires strong-willed women; the Golden Heavenly Maiden was one, and so was the Dragon Maiden.
Because he loved the house and its inhabitants, Su Yu also harbored little hostility towards the Myriad Dragon Emperor. He hadn't expected the emperor to appear at this time.
"We'll settle the score for the Chaos Dragon Nest later. Today, I've come solely to become an immortal." The purple-haired Ancient Emperor's expression was indifferent, like a block of ten-thousand-year-old divine ice, radiating an astonishing chill.
Su Yu seemed to be deep in thought, but outwardly remained completely calm.
He nodded slightly, not wanting to talk about the past. These were all powerful figures who reigned supreme in the Nine Heavens, and those sordid things from the past were too insignificant, no different from dust, and there was no need to discuss them.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, the sound of starlight and tides came from afar, and a cluster of magnificent Chaos Immortal Light, carrying a mysterious bronze coffin, bathed in the essence of the Sun-Moon, descended upon the Mythic Battlefield.
Gai Jiuyou's eyes deepened when he saw the coffin. He knew some things about Duan De, so he quickly guessed Su Yu's thoughts.
"Palace Master, this humble Daoist is of meager fortune and cannot bear such a great Fortune. This slumber cannot be interrupted, Palace Master, Palace Master..."
Before the bronze coffin even hit the ground, a shrill cry rang out. This strange change was completely out of place with the Supreme beings present, who were bathed in Chaos energy and were supremely divine and holy. It was like a domesticated pig raised by mortals invading Xian Dao abode; the sense of distortion was too strong.
Silence, a deathly silence!
At this moment, only the sound of wind and clouds could be heard in the Dao Platform. The six Ancient Emperor were present in their true forms faced each other indifferently, and the other Supreme illusory gods also remained silent, watching the situation develop.
Although it was awkward, adhering to the principle that "I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed," Su Yu remained calm. Amidst the Unscrupulous Daoist's tearful wails, he pressed down with one finger, and strands of Taiyin condensed into a beam of light, directly shattering the Bronze Coffin.
"Bang!"
Fragments of divine bronze flew everywhere, like a dazzling rain of light. The fiery spirit liquid inside the coffin flowed down, and the Taichu energy swirled. A large cocoon fell down, inside which was a humanoid creature, quite prosperous, exuding the aura of a god.
The cocoon burst open, Duan De, adorned with dozens of sacred Dao Artifact, fell out of the divine cocoon. Looking at the bronze fragments flying everywhere, Duan De's face froze, his vision went black, and he staggered, almost falling to the ground.
"This ancient demon bronze coffin is something I painstakingly collected..."
This coffin has an extraordinary origin. It is a secret artifact refined by a Quasi-Emperor Realm with the Heavenly Demon Physique. It is of extremely high quality and is very suitable for nurturing spirits. He Heartforce dug it out from the celestial demon tomb in the outer realm. It is also one of his greatest trump cards and can be described as unbreakable.
Over the years, only that vicious dog managed to leave a paw print on it using the broken Supreme Artifact, but it was unexpectedly shattered in a single day.
Being interrupted during the transformation is already painful enough, but to lose the magical artifact on which one depends for continued progress is truly despairing.
"My coffin..." The fat Daoist priest let out a howl like a wolf, his face contorted with grief, almost in tears, his heart aching so much he could hardly breathe.
"Why would a Saint King stir my emotions? Is it because of the bloodline I inherited from my past life? Or is it because of an old friend?" The Corpse Emperor narrowed his eyes, puzzled, but found nothing special about Duan De.
Su Yu stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, privately communicating with the Heaven-reaching Nether Treasure. The latter fell silent for a moment, seemingly somewhat embarrassed, as the reincarnation of its former master appeared rather active...
A moment later, Duan De suddenly regained consciousness, his expression changing as if he were in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, surrounded by too many supreme beings whose auras were too heavy, like Immortal of the Foreign Realm divine mountains, making one's back turn cold.
Duan De turned his head and met the gaze of the aged, ghostly-looking Immortal Matriarch, and then saw the other Ancient Emperor. In an instant, his face turned deathly pale, and he almost collapsed to the ground, exclaiming in horror, "Ancient... Ancient Supreme!"
Almost scrambling and stumbling, the Wuliang priest hid behind Su Yu in a disheveled state, clinging to his clothes, his two beady eyes darting around, both surprised and terrified.
"It seems I was overthinking it." Seeing Duan De's actions, the Corpse Emperor's eyes opened and closed, and he stopped thinking about it.
He simply couldn't stand such a despicable person...
Unlike the original timeline, at that Duan De was already Quasi-Emperor and was close to achieving enlightenment through Alternative Dao Attainment, and the laws of Lunhui were revived, which is why the Corpse Emperor saw through his disguise. The current situation is completely different from that time.
"Palace Master, what exactly is going on? How can there be so many Supreme?" Duan De was so anxious that he was almost jumping up and down, and he was about to cry. He hurriedly sent a telepathic message to Su Yu to inquire about the situation.
Su Yu remained calm and did not answer the fat Daoist's question. Instead, he brought up a past event. "Back in the Ziwei Star Domain, I promised you an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon someday. Today, I have completed my tribulation technique and settled this karmic debt."
As he spoke, a dazzling divine sun shot out from between his brows, reaching its zenith. At its core was a Nether Iron Battle Armor that shimmered with starlight, emanating an aura of Great Emperor.
This is the supreme robe left behind by the Yanluo Supreme, the Underworld.
With a clang, the Nether Dao Immortal Robe shone brightly and dazzlingly, quickly descending onto Duan De's Immortal Platform, covering the Saint King's primordial spirit, and completely enveloping him.
Duan De was stunned, completely disoriented by the sudden appearance of the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon. Even after his primordial spirit donned the Nether Iron Battle Armor, he was still somewhat dazed, as if he were dreaming.
Losing a Quasi-Emperor demon coffin but gaining a royal divine weapon, just as Su Yu promised, he would bestow upon him an earth-shattering Fortune.
The Unscrupulous Daoist breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had swallowed a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. His face turned red, and all his previous courage returned. He no longer cared about those Ancient Supreme.
He looked at Su Yu with deep affection, his eyes shining, his inner excitement beyond words.
A flawless, Supreme Artifact, still imbued with divine power—this gift is far too weighty.
"The promise of the Kun Master is heavier than the immortal mountains!"
Duan De was incredibly excited and almost shed tears; only a true friend could do such a thing.
"What you did in the past, you reap today. No need to thank me." Su Yu said calmly, then gestured with his eyes and gave a general account of the matter of the God Emperor. He wanted a feng shui master to investigate the matter and promised to give him an ultimate magic artifact after the job was done.
At first, the fat Daoist priest listened attentively, nodding repeatedly, showing great interest in these ancient secrets. However, when he heard Su Yu ask him to investigate the life and death of the Silkworm Clan's ancestor, Duan De's face turned green instantly, his expectations plummeted to negative levels, and he immediately wanted to slip away.
However, after he had this thought, the Nether Iron Battle Armor in Immortal Platform began to shrink, emanating wisps of dangerous aura, the deeper meaning of which was already quite clear.
"Palace Master, I'm only at the Saint King Realm..."
The Unscrupulous Daoist, who was being threatened, protested that this was too absurd. It was really too much to ask a nobody like him to perform burial arts in front of a group of Supreme.
"If I say you can, you can, even if you can't! And afterwards, you'll receive an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon!"
Su Yu readily accepted Duan De's words. This matter could only be handled by the Netherworld Venerable; he was absolutely confident in this regard.
"Palace Master, this Imperial Body is extremely precious. It should be appraised by a master of the Imperial Path. My cultivation level is too low; how can I do such a thing?" Duan De wanted to try his hand, but the task was simply too heavy for him to handle.
Chapter 664 The Immortal War That Destroyed the Great World
"Look at you, you've even dug up the Demon Emperor's Tomb. What's the point of verifying the Silkworm Emperor's life or death?" Su Yu's tone changed, sword patterns swirling in his pupils. He transmitted his voice, "Daoist Duan, you enjoy Star Lord -level treatment in Kunlun, and you've even used the Immortal Medicine. Now that Kun Court needs your help, you'd better think carefully..."
Duan De's soul trembled, and he could only awkwardly agree, forcing a smile as he said, "Alright, I'll go, I'll go... For us cultivators, being able to Ancient Emperor figure is a wonderful thing..."
He walked out from behind Su Yu, trembling, and looked at the tall Kun Emperor and Roc Emperor. He straightened his Daoist robe, his expression changed, and his demeanor instantly became different. His fat face was filled with solemnity, and he actually looked somewhat like a Daoist master.
Duan De bowed to the crowd, then slowly walked to the person in charge.
Amidst the Chaos mist, the God Emperor's hair floated gently, his face shrouded in divine light and wisps of malevolent death energy, enough to make even Quasi-Emperor bow down and Great Saint Sage tremble.
Su Yu personally intervened, using his great divine power to establish a Yin-Yang Divine Network on the Unscrupulous Daoist, allowing him to approach the Emperor's body. He also bestowed upon him a wisp of primordial essence of heaven and earth, compensating for the Daoist's premature birth. The latter, naturally, became even more excited...
"He truly is the Emperor of the Silkworm Clan!"
