A dazzling array of colors, radiating light, and sword energy like a vast sea, churning up countless waves that extinguished the starry river, pressed down on the crowd. Its aura was in no way weaker than that of the three Alternative Dao Attainment, and it was very close to ascending to the Supreme.
"Now that things have come to this, what good is a weapon? It's all in vain!"
The Spirit Emperor remained indifferent, completely unconcerned about the newly appeared Undying Heavenly Blade. Spiritual light danced in his hand as he continuously urged the Radiant Platinum to cleave through the cocoon of flesh and blood, seizing the Immortal Blood of the slumbering being.
"Bang!"
The moment the Undying Heavenly Blade appeared, Su Yu's hair flew wildly. He abandoned the blood and gore that had covered him in during the pursuit, picked up his Lingbao Killing Sword, and charged forward, unleashing a world-shaking strike with a devastating aura that swept across the sky.
In this situation, even the arrival of Immortal Bell could not stop the overwhelming trend, let alone a Heavenly Blade —which had not yet been transformed into a celestial weapon!
Thump!
A dazzling light radiated, two different laws clashed, the Heavenly Blade trembled, and was forced back half a step by the Killing Sword. The divine radiance of the five-colored Immortal Gold shimmered, more brilliant than the stars, dazzling and magnificent...
"Sizzle!"
On the other side of the battlefield, the moment the Spirit Transformation descended, the other seven imperial experts joined forces to shatter everything, striking the Huang soaring through the Nine Heavens. Multicolored light rain continuously spilled out, and one of its wings crumbled inch by inch, flowing with the laws of order, which was the source of this illusory Huang's power. The scene was terrifying.
The Five-Colored Divine Phoenix's eyes were filled with malice as it coldly glanced at everyone who had made a move. Then, it unleashed the divine speed of a flawless Great Emperor, maneuvering and attacking the Divine Kun Emperor behind it, who blocked its way in front of the Void gate.
Chapter 672 The Eternal Black Hand
At the end of the Primordial Cemetery, a dark, misty light emanated from a Void gate, where Chaos energy flowed and celestial light shone brightly. From time to time, Northern Pole Immortal Light would shoot out, creating an atmosphere completely different from the outside world, as if it were the homeland of immortals.
"Buzz!"
Thousands upon thousands of streaks of blood-red light danced in the air, a giant cocoon bathed in five-colored divine light, and an overwhelming aura swept across the land. Even the Great Dao of this place trembled and prostrated itself before this supreme being.
The divine cocoon is crossing the river, and within a small space, countless Huang feathers are inlaid, with magnificent colors and intensely fiery patterns.
It wanted to rush into the Void portal, and its transformation was imminent. However, it was suddenly attacked and killed. This was too disadvantageous for a Nirvana being, so it could only leave and abandon this land of the Dharma Ending.
The impact of this is profound. In the degenerate age of the mortal world, it may be difficult to reach a perfect state of immortality and achieve completeness. Although this world is barren, it is the best arena for life and death, where the strongest immortal status can be honed.
The Mortal World Immortal is more powerful than the True Immortal of the Upper Realm ( Undying Heavenly Emperor believes)!
Thinking of all this, the Spirit Deity within the sphere of flesh grew increasingly cold-blooded, eager to revive at any cost and kill all the troublemakers.
Millions of years ago, his three lifetimes of imperial destiny came to an end ( Lifetime the Divine Phoenix Immortal Medicine, the Lifetime the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill ), and at the last moment, he chose to take his final leap.
That time, he had accumulated a great deal: the knowledge he gained from the two different worlds of the Immortal Domain and the Nine Heavens, the insights he gained from comprehending the Immortal Bell, and the courage he displayed when he wielded the Immortal Bell to strike at the Emperor Zun... These were enough for him to stand out from the crowd and look down upon the heavens and the earth.
After a century of slumber, he successfully began his next Lifetime, continuing the rule of the Undying Imperial Court, making his fame even greater, and even earning him the title of a god.
But the second time was not so smooth. In his later years in the fourth life, he encountered a major problem and almost perished. He only managed to turn the crisis into an opportunity by relying on the innate ancestral technique of the Divine Phoenix Clan, which allowed him to undergo Nirvana for more than 100,000 years. He barely managed to live out his fifth life (which was not perfect), but this also left behind hidden dangers.
His Red Dust Immortal Path was somewhat inferior to that of the Emperor Zun. The ancient Lord of the Heavenly Court didn't rely on Divine Medicine or the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir in his Lifetime and second lives. He, however, used both, and poured all his past accumulations into his fourth life, nearly leading to his demise in his fifth. (Very few Extreme Dao Supreme; the Human-Shaped Immortal Tree is one. However, that immortal tree disappeared after the Emperor Zun's passing, which is why the Undying Imperial Court has been relentlessly pursuing Chuan Ying, hoping to find traces of the Immortal Elixir.)
The immortal technique that can reverse life and death naturally comes at an extraordinary price: it requires the lifeblood of a cultivator of the same level to reach perfection, and all the calamities that followed originated from this moment.
The resurrected were born, but by then, the Undying Imperial Court had long since vanished into the annals of history, and its era had ended. In the meantime, new emperors continued to rise to power and rule the world.
In order to heal Tianhen's injuries and to perfect his Dao Fruit (the Dao of other Ancient Emperor had some reference value for him), the Undying Heavenly Emperor began the path of a behind-the-scenes mastermind.
Ten thousand years later, the new emperor embarked on the Road to Immortality. As the old forces dissipated and the new forces were yet to arise, a Heavenly Blade struck, creating a torrential rain of blood.
He devoured the body and fragmented spirit of the fallen Ancient Emperor, and also integrated the Ancient Emperor Weapon into the Undying Heavenly Blade. Both man and weapon were enhanced, and the imperfect path of transformation began to move towards perfection. This was the most important thing.
The second transformation lasted a long time, and then a new emperor appeared. This time, the one who attained enlightenment came from the poor and weak Human Clan. He held the true meaning of Taiyin and ranked among the extreme paths. As he attained enlightenment, the Human Clan, which had always been at the bottom of the ancient world, rose up, and many strong people emerged, changing the entire order.
Of course, all of this was insignificant to the Shadow Man. He was like a patient hunter, quietly waiting for the Human Emperor to grow old.
It was as if another Lunhui had begun. In this Lifetime, in his later years, the Road to Immortality opened up, and there was truly hope of success, leading to that Strange World.
All of this, naturally, could not escape the predictions of the Undying Heavenly Emperor.
He discarded the Road to Immortality that all living beings yearned for, except for the Sole True Path (the passage that the Desolate Heaven Emperor ultimately took, leading directly to the Immortal Domain, the Immortal Road below the Flying Immortal Star ).
Entering this Strange World was not enough to excite him; his ambition was far greater—to obtain the strongest Xian Dao laws. The Divine Phoenix Clan of the Upper Realm possessed ancient texts that described the unique characteristics of this world and recorded some of the secrets of the founders of the Celestial Heavenly Court the Immortal Domain.
That one also achieved the Immortal Dao Fruit in the Dharma-ending Universe, and then went on a glorious journey to become the Supreme Immortal Emperor, the only Dao Ancestor in the Immortal Realm! All of this naturally moved the Undying Emperor, who longed to return to his homeland in a supreme manner.
The Mortal World Immortal of the Immortal Domain is already a legend, having not appeared for tens of thousands of years. The Undying Heavenly Emperor could seize that Xian Dao and escape the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but he never had that intention. He only wanted to use the Dharma Ending World to hone the strongest Xian Dao laws...
The Road to Immortality has begun, and new challengers have arrived, determined to pave the Immortal Road for all living beings. However, at the very end of the path, a terrifying blade of energy tears through the universe, its killing intent overwhelming, seeking to steal the heart's blood of the challengers. This is the most deadly tribulation, sending chills down the spines of those who aspire to immortality.
However, to the attackers' surprise, the old man, whose vitality was waning, whose hair was white and who seemed too old to wield the divine fist, actually blocked the Heavenly Emperor's attack.
The Imperial Seal swept across the sky, the Divine Finger cleaved the world, nearly piercing the eternal Road to Immortality. At that moment, the light of the Taiyin shattered Eternal, plunging the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths into darkness, dazzling and astonishing. This was the strongest strike unleashed by the Human Emperor after a bloody battle. Although his imperial body was shattered and he was at the lowest point in his life.
A divine war erupted and quickly ended. In the shattered Chaos Cave, a tattered robe buried the Human Emperor, while the mastermind behind it all departed wounded. The path shrouded in celestial light was sealed off, leaving only a large seal covered in knife-carved palm strikes. The deity was nearly obliterated and escaped from the Immortal Road. Yet, the Human Emperor's lingering obsession transformed into Divine Thought, continuing into later generations.
There were no winners in this battle...
The Eternal Black Hand became even more cautious afterward. His transformation was not yet complete, and his strength was somewhat inferior to that of his fourth incarnation in his later years. Dealing with those amazing Dao-achievers was somewhat risky, and the injuries inflicted on him by the Human Emperor took a long time to heal.
He later carried out two more assassinations, both targeting the Ancient Emperor in their twilight years when their life force was waning. Seemingly compensation for the previous one, both attacks went smoothly, and the two emperors became the nourishment for the mastermind's rebirth.
Outstanding figures like the Human Emperor of the Moon are few and far between; most Ancient Emperor in their twilight years, exhausted of their life force, cannot escape the judgment of the Heavenly Blade.
Over millions of years in the ancient era, the Undying Heavenly Emperor made ten attempts, successfully devouring eight Ancient Emperor and failing twice. On two other occasions, he selected his targets but abandoned them for various reasons.
Of the eight Ancient Emperor, four were from forbidden zones. They were Supreme who were drawn to the Mars Ancient Realm during the Primordial God War. When the struggle between the snipe and the clam was at its most intense, the fisherman appeared and used supreme means to kill everyone, becoming the biggest winner of the God War.
And that's not all he got.
The source of the divine war was two celestial artifacts— the Source Cauldron of All Things and the Immortal Bell.
These two ancient artifacts also created two great Burial Ground, one of which was the Mars Ancient Realm. There, the Undying Heavenly Emperor devoured four Supreme and blocked the Immortal Bell.
His connection with the Immortal Bell runs deep. At the end of the Mythological Era, the Kunlun Remnant Clan Emperor Zun had a great hatred for each other. In order to kill the Emperor Zun, the clan lent him the Immortal Bell. At that time, although he had not yet attained enlightenment, he had already achieved the Great Perfection of the Ninth Heaven, making him stronger than ordinary Alternative Dao Attainment.
After obtaining the Immortal Bell, he naturally had ulterior motives, using some information about the Immortal Domain to tempt Immortal Bell.
However, his plan failed. The Immortal Bell didn't care about any of this and said that it was not meant for him. After the collapse of the Ancient Heavenly Court, the man and the weapon were separated, and they did not meet again until the War of the Gods.
Perhaps seeing that the young dragon had already embarked on the Red Dust Immortal Path, the Immortal Bell's attitude changed a lot, but for some reason it still did not accept him. It only made a deal with him, allowing him to meditate for ten thousand years.
When the ten thousand years were up, the Immortal Bell tore through the sky and disappeared, while the Undying Heavenly Emperor gained a great deal and took a very crucial step.
The last attack in the Primordial Era came very suddenly. At that time, the emperor of the Fighting Holy Ape Tribe was in power, and his combat strength was very fierce. The Undying Heavenly Emperor did not actually want to take action that time, because he was worried that the descendant who walked the path of the War Emperor would be another Human Emperor of the Moon.
However, the Holy Ape Ancestor fought too fiercely on the Road to Immortality, losing a large amount of true blood. His condition was so tempting that even the usually cautious Eternal Black Hand was tempted. His Dao Fruit was precisely lacking this kind of combat technique, and the opponent's heart's blood would be of great use to him.
The scene was the same: the Heavenly Blade appeared at the end of the road, its terrifying power causing the Fighting Saint Emperor to change color abruptly and roar at the heavens. Being attacked in this state would be absolutely fatal. Moreover, the attacker was an ancient deity he had always revered. This deity was always portrayed as a positive character in ancient texts. In his youth, he had greatly respected this first emperor of the ancient times and had even worshipped his statue in Divine Temple. He never expected to meet him in such a situation.
The assassination, which seemed a certainty, was marred by an unexpected event at the last moment: a rare, once-in-a-million-years surge of Northern Pole Immortal Light disrupted everything. The Undying Heavenly Emperor was caught in the crossfire of this celestial light, a truly unfortunate situation that left everyone helpless.
Meanwhile, the Fighting Saint Emperor seized the opportunity to escape the Chaos Cave, even delivering a fatal blow to the Black Hand, and later destroyed the Black Hand's Divine Temple. The Undying Heavenly Emperor, caught in the impact of the Northern Pole Immortal Light, had no time to spare for any of this...
And so, the Primordial Era ended, Desolate Ancient Era began. Throughout this period Undying Heavenly Emperor remained in a state of dormancy and did not make a move.
There are two reasons for this. One is that he is about to reach the midpoint of the Red Dust Immortal Path. This stage is very dangerous, with life and death at every step. He needs to struggle through it and cannot afford to pay attention to other things.
The other is that ordinary cultivators who have attained enlightenment are of little use to him, and the impact of an assassination is not significant, unless it is Heavenly Emperor- level figure.
This mindset persisted until the appearance of the Taihuang, a Human Clan Great Emperor who also followed the path of battle. His offensive power was unparalleled, and the Imperial Dragon Qi of the Forbidden Chapter was enough to rival the Nine Secrets: Dou, astonishing all ages. And this was precisely the Dao Fruit pattern that the Undying Heavenly Emperor lacked.
At that time, the Taihuang was in his later years, and the Immortal Road was reopened. The founder of the Great Xia encountered the most dangerous situation.
This time, however, there was no eruption of the Northern Pole Immortal Light. The Taihuang roared on the Immortal Road, exhausting all his profound techniques to no avail. He was forcibly shattered into pieces by the Eternal Black Hand, his soul imprint completely plundered. He was utterly miserable, with only a pool of scarlet imperial blood left to tell the ancient history...
After killing the Taihuang and seizing the Battle Mark, the fifth incarnation of the Undying Heavenly Emperor reached perfection and once again entered a state of Nirvana.
When he was awakened once more, a Immortal Road leading to Strange World had reopened.
Moreover, the person in power in this Lifetime is no ordinary being; he is a Heavenly Emperor- level figure, the Great Emperor Wushi, who stands alone in the universe, causing forbidden zones to bow down. Wherever he goes, all living beings submit, and even the most arrogant Ancient Supreme dare not utter a word.
Originally, one of them was the first emperor of the Primordial Era, and the other was the Desolate Antiquity. They kept to themselves and had no major karmic ties.
Ten thousand years ago, people from later generations came to the Ancient Emperor Mountain to use it as their mausoleum. On the way, they saw the Primordial Race devouring the blood essence of mortals, so they took action to suppress the descendants of the Eight Divine Generals. As a result, the Primordial Ancestral King sealed in the Divine Source were also affected and almost all of them were wiped out.
The Undying Heavenly Empress, sealed deep within, awoke and reached out a hand, but was repelled by the overwhelming pressure of the Human Clan Great Emperor, proving to be no match for him—this is the origin of the Purple Mountain murals.
At that time, the original Undying self was still asleep. The Divine Self, who was the Lord of Undying Mountain, was born and fought against the Great Emperor Wushi. He was defeated and suppressed on the Saint Cliff.
Perhaps the events at Ancient Emperor Mountain were merely bait to lure out the dark giant.
The Undying Daoist and the Sacred Body Lineage have a deep-seated feud. The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body of the Saint Cliff, whose blood stained Black Mountain and whose corpse was shrouded in green hair, was killed by him. Moreover, he also instigated the Dark Turmoil, causing all living beings to weep in anguish, a crime of immeasurable magnitude.
Suppressing the descendants of the Eight Divine Generals and killing my divine body—this karma will have to be repaid sooner or later.
After the Undying Heavenly Emperor awoke and learned of these events, his killing intent surged to its peak, but he remained cautious and did not act rashly.
At this point, he is at the juncture between his fifth and sixth incarnations. Once he succeeds, his "Tao" and "Dharma" will be completely different. He will be fearless of the mortal world and can Dao Yi Void Immortal.
However, this period is also dangerous, as the strength of the transformed individuals fluctuates, and they lack combat power corresponding to Dao Wu.
Coincidentally, the Immortal Road opened in this Lifetime, a road that leads directly to a fantasy world, and it happens to be located in the God and Demon Burial Ground under the influence of Mars.
Two enlightened beings, one known as the Heavenly Emperor and the other as the Heavenly Emperor, met on the Road to Immortality. At that time, the Great Emperor Wushi was nearing the end of his second life, and his blood and energy had not yet begun to decline.
In fact, long before the Immortal Road opened, the Great Emperor Wushi had already sensed the existence of the Undying Heavenly Emperor. He made ample preparations, setting up numerous killing formations and secret artifacts. At that time, the Undying Heavenly Emperor was still in a slumber.
Relying on these initial advantages, the Great Emperor Wushi and the ancients who lived millions of years before him confronted each other, both being wary of one another. This process lasted for a long time.
Ultimately, the later generations took a step back. His lifespan was about to run out, and once his blood and energy were depleted, he would be in the most dangerous situation, and he could only rely on the Road to Immortality to enter that world.
However, he also left himself a backup plan, calculating that the Undying Heavenly Emperor would have difficulty achieving Nirvana in a short time, and that the arrangements of the Beginningless Bell and the Saint Cliff would be enough to lure the opponent in...
When the Great Emperor Wushi departed, the Undying Heavenly Emperor did not make a move. Perhaps out of fear, or perhaps for other reasons, he coldly watched his formidable enemy leave. Afterward, he once again entered Nirvana, hoping to take that crucial step and achieve the Dao Fruit comparable to Void Immortal...
Chapter 673 The Void Dao to life and death, the true path to Longevity, eternally indestructible!
The path to immortality in the Lower Realm is called the Dao. Shangyu (the ancient name for the Immortal Domain of the Divine Phoenix Clan ) emphasizes truth and illusion. The second step to becoming an immortal is the journey of seeking truth—understanding the true Dao, shattering the mortal world, and only then can Yuhua immortality.
The term "Void Immortal " refers to the Void Dao Life and Death Realm. It signifies comprehending the true meaning of life and death, eliminating the dross and retaining the essence, remaining untainted by worldly dust, and having the true meaning of Longevity flowing continuously. It implies fearlessness in the mortal world and, although not having attained the True Immortal status, can still be called an immortal.
This realm is a concept from the Immortal Domain. The Nine Heavens Ancient Realm has a different system, and there are subtle differences between the two realms in terms of achieving immortality...
Similarly, Shangyu's classification of the Supreme is similar. There is an alternative approach: those with flawed Dao Fruit are given the word "empty" to distinguish them from the Extreme Dao Supreme.
The Flawed Immortal King is Immortal King Realm, Alternative Dao Attainment that falls under the Extreme Dao Domain. Similarly, the Void Immortal also belongs to the realm of Xian Dao Path, representing the first step towards Yuhua. Further subdivisions follow, with each realm possessing a profound and mysterious title, thereby showcasing the supreme majesty of the Longevity.
The first step of the Xian Dao: The Void Dao Life and Death Realm (Early Stage of True Immortal ) -- Divided into two steps: Void Life and Void Death, it radiates the light of the Xian Dao, manifests the Immortal of the Foreign Realm Divine Chain, and condenses the Dharma Image of the Immortal Venerable.
Such cultivators are illusory, therefore they exist. They overlook the universe, understand life and death, and Longevity flower blooms between their brows, making them Longevity and transforming them into Undying.
The second step of the Xian Dao: The True Dao Longevity Realm (Mid-stage True Immortal ) -- This is also the origin of the title of Longevity True Immortal. Beings in this realm comprehend the true Dao and travel extremely far on the path of time. Their immortal bodies and souls are further enhanced. A single drop of blood can remain intact for several epochs. Millions of years pass in the blink of an eye, and Eternity in Haste.
Alternative Immortal Ascension immortality also refers to this realm, referring to cultivators who have the strength of True Immortal but have not undergone the baptism of lightning tribulation or the test of the Heavens. Similar to the Ten Fiends among the Immortal King, they have some flaws due to various reasons, but can still display the power of an unparalleled domain. One such person may not appear even once in an entire era.
(There is also the Xian Dao path achieved by consuming the Immortal Fruit of Longevity. Such immortal beings manifest the Dao Fruit of Life and Death, and their superficial realm has entered the True Void Longevity Realm, but their combat power is still inferior to that of Void Immortal. The two cannot be compared. Some True Immortal also refer to such cultivators Human Immortal, the weakest in the Immortal Dao Domain.)
