The latter was in poor condition. Even though he could temporarily gain the upper hand by relying on the Immortal Ancient Heavenly Art, his Sacred Body, no longer in its prime, was clearly powerless against a peak Human Emperor.
This is still Great Accomplishment Sacred Body nourished by the essence of various Immortal Medicine and Immortal Qi!
The current Lord of the Immortal Mausoleum is far stronger than in the original timeline. Not only has he absorbed some of the Supreme's essence blood, easing his condition, but he is also in a state of Ultimate Sublimation.
In the original timeline, the Longevity Heavenly Venerable fought Road to Immortality on the path to immortality, broke out of the Immortal Spirit Killing Realm, and then encountered a self-destructive attack from one-third of the Source Cauldron of All Things God Organization, causing his condition to drop to the extreme point, making it impossible for him to even achieve Ultimate Sublimation.
Even so, this Heavenly Venerable who created the "Zhe" secret still risked his life to save the last remaining Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, truly deserving of the name of the Nine Heavenly Venerable!
"Master Gai only needs to calm his mind and cultivate himself."
Faced with his senior's concerns, the owner of the silver tree nodded slightly, displaying a calm composure that remained unchanged even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, or if a deer walked by without blinking.
Behind him, a Dao diagram fluttered in the wind, inlaid with lustrous red diamonds—all of which were the true blood of Ancient Emperor, now gathered into a star pattern, their Life essence surging like the waves of a vast ocean, propelling the master of the art to a higher realm.
Almost the instant the battle ended, the azure aura in Su Yu's eyes became incredibly dense, and his body seemed to be covered with a layer of red jade frost, standing firmly at the peak of the Sixth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
After a brief pause, he struck the gate, and his entire being seemed to be a reincarnation of a devouring body. All 365 acupoints on his body were adorned with an Ancient Emperor's blood bead, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea. Thunderous sounds emanated from his meridians, and his blood seemed to be a great river rolling eastward.
The sea of the Bitter Sea was in turmoil, with giant waves crashing against the shore, deafening and deafening, as if the world was about to be destroyed. From the nine Life Spring, the waterfall of divine power gushed forth continuously, the four pillars pointing to the sky, the five Dao Palace boiling, the thirty-six heavenly palaces swirling with purple energy, golden lotuses blooming, and the light of the Dao Fruit illuminating the inner world.
The Undying Stars Tree swayed, emitting a hazy, Chaos aura and resonating with the sounds of the Great Dao, ethereal and incomparable.
The sword-wielding Daoist's eyes opened and closed, his eyes like jade, and even the Queen Mother of the West, who possessed the Dao Embryo Body, was amazed by that azure light.
This is a terrifying level of comprehension that surpasses even the Innate Dao Embryo. At this moment, Su Yu seems to have opened the gate between heaven and man, merging with the Great Qian. With each breath, he resonates with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and even senses a vast and boundless existence.
Heavenly Heart Imprint!
The Forbidden Zone Supreme, observing this scene, was filled with doubt and even murderous intent. However, since the previous encirclement and attack had failed to break the seal, how could Su Yu care about those cold gazes now?
Just think of it as the chirping of summer insects; when the midsummer night falls, the cicadas' song will fall silent.
The tides of time flow mightily and relentlessly.
Those who follow the trend prosper; those who oppose it perish!
Those Dark Forbidden Zone on the Burial Emperor Star are destined for destruction.
"I ask Heaven and Earth, who can ascend to immortality and awaken from the dream...?"
With a sigh and a muttered murmur, half of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths seemed to freeze for a moment. In the depths of the universe, the starry sky vanished, and galaxies were severed and destroyed one after another. Su Yu, with his black hair flowing freely, burst forth with Wuliang light the instant his eyes closed, causing even the distant Solar Star to dim.
The magnificent statues of the Three Pure Ones became increasingly hazy, perched high above the nebula, where all the myriad paths of the heavens manifested, and the laws formed a sea, embodying the order of heaven and earth, and revealing tangible traces of the Great Dao.
At this moment, the man in the Daoist robe transformed into the rules themselves, merging with and becoming one with those orders. A pure aura wafted endlessly, as if a mortal and immortal were undergoing a metamorphosis. Heaven and earth resounded with the song of the Great Dao, lotuses were born in the Void, and golden springs descended, transforming into showers of light, carrying specks of the Immortal of the Foreign Realm essence.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the rules of heaven and earth, and the traces of all paths, were illuminated by the Chaos light and transformed into tangible forms.
Su Yu's soul was touched, and he truly saw a blurry Dao seal, dazzling and radiant, illuminating the universe. It was entwined with extremely intricate immortal patterns, accompanied by thunder shadows and lightning flashes. Countless figures appeared, all traces left by powerful figures throughout the ages, each one incomparably powerful, awe-inspiring throughout the heavens and myriad realms. Mastering it would allow one to dominate this world.
One of the figures was incredibly powerful, exuding an ancient and decaying aura. Su Yu recognized him at a glance as the Longevity Heavenly Venerable.
" The Heavenly Heart Imprint!"
A thought arose in his mind, like a weary bird returning to its nest or a fish swimming upstream, creating a special attraction for the Dao Seal.
The next moment, he shook his head, breaking free from that special state.
It's not the right time!
He was going to risk everything, and even attempt to pass four levels in a row. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, the current environment simply didn't allow him to do that.
"Let's meet again in a hundred years..."
Su Yu's face remained calm, showing little regret.
Within his sea of consciousness, a dark red halo continuously emanated, representing the stirring of his divine thoughts, a process of transformation and sublimation.
Before being bathed in the true blood of the emperors, Su Yu's divine sense was at the lower end of the Alternative Dao Attainment, making him arguably the weakest Alternative Dao Attainment.
Even if one cultivates both the Dao Seed Method and the Secret Realm Method simultaneously, merging the two lineages, one would at most be considered mid-level. They would need to rely on the power of magical artifacts to defeat the Forbidden Zone Supreme and to negotiate with the Ascended Ancient Emperor.
This great battle refined his spirit, directly elevating Su Yu's divine sense from the middle Alternative Dao Attainment Alternative Dao Attainment to the upper stage!
This is also why he was able to defeat the three Supreme with overwhelming force.
At a similar level, even Forbidden Zone Heir couldn't withstand a single move from him. Their fathers were slightly better, but not by much...
Like a pearl condensing into a jewel, after reaching a certain limit, Su Yu's sea of consciousness showed a tendency to split and recombine. It was as if he was in the snowy region of Baizang, where countless winds, frosts, thunder, and rainstorms were striking, tearing his sea of consciousness apart piece by piece, and then piecing it back together piece by piece.
After the extreme cold comes the scorching heat of tribulation fire, the pain of which is self-evident. The sea of consciousness, as the most sensitive part of a cultivator, carries the life soul of a living being. Even the slightest injury will have a huge impact. The pain will be amplified dozens or even hundreds of times by the nerve endings. Even with Su Yu's will tempered by the Dao Fire, his face twitched slightly.
However, the benefits of this water and fire tempering are also enormous!
Su Yu's divine sense was already comparable to the peak of the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, and now he is even heading towards a broken path of Alternative Dao Attainment...
" The Longevity Heavenly Venerable."
Su Yu murmured, then flicked his sleeve, and the four Shangqing Sword Embryo instantly unleashed a flurry of Dao patterns, generating powerful spacetime energy.
With Shrouding the Heavens of the finger, the shadow of the Immortal Slayer flew past, and within it, countless timelines condensed, scattering a chaotic rain of light. This field rapidly distorted, and a section of the Star Sea seemed to be covered by dark red ice shards, both cold and intense. The entire battlefield was covered by Bronze Flowers of Time, creating an incredible sense of blurriness.
The seasons changed, summer turned to autumn frost, and the whole process was extremely fast. This was a teleportation technique comparable to that of the Void Emperor, only slightly inferior to the profound mysteries of the Carefree Heavenly Venerate.
In the secret realm of the universe, the Lord of the Immortal Mausoleum had his gray hair flowing, and his ancient Daoist robe fluttered as he unleashed a powerful and sweeping sword technique of annihilation.
On this dimly lit ancient battlefield, he appeared otherworldly, exuding an aura of purity and righteousness, as if he were ascending to Flying Immortal, shining brightly, truly deserving of the title of Emperor of Man.
Upon closer inspection, however, his eyes were anything but peaceful; they held a chilling killing intent. His silver pupils gleamed, making him incredibly intimidating. With a wave of his hand, he had already unleashed several Life-Killing Great Art, forcing his opponent into a desperate situation.
The other battlefield has ended. He and that person had a deep karmic connection; he almost killed the other, and it was destined to end badly.
And this old friend in front of him is his biggest obstacle!
"Brush!"
The Void was entirely black, while heaven and earth were entirely white, creating an extremely dazzling spectacle. The silvery sword light even condensed into rivers, flowing through the Dao traces. The earth melted, and the Void collapsed.
The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body was covered in blood, with his left arm missing. Given his condition, it was commendable that he had managed to hold on until now with the incomplete Six Paths of Lunhui Ancient Heavenly Art. Ultimately, he was no match for the opponent.
"Bang!"
The sword light exploded, like mercury pouring out, scattering everywhere. A white, murderous aura surged everywhere, instantly breaking through the golden blood energy of the Sacred Body, and the Imperial Dao Laws within were completely severed.
"Our past karmic connection will now lead to your death!" The Longevity Heavenly Venerable roared, his eyes filled with struggle, but mostly with coldness.
He desires Longevity; what use are past emotions then? Reign Over All Under Heaven in the Mythological Era, protecting all living beings for fifty thousand years, witnessing black hair turn to white, and beauty fade to ashes, all crumbling before the passage of time!
In this Lifetime, he lives only for Longevity!
The Lord of the Immortal Mausoleum Tomb uttered the word "kill," opened his palm, and divine light ripped through the sky, piercing through the clouds and breaking the sun!
The light was so dazzling that it shone towards the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body. The broken Longevity Sword was glowing, its sword light blinding, shattering heaven and earth. The killing intent within was too intense, carrying the roars of countless ghosts and ancient heroes.
One can imagine that this sword strike was enough to kill Supreme!
"Call out!"
At the critical moment, a thick, dark red beam of light descended from the sky, cleaving through the laws and shattering the order. Its power was so extreme that it caused the Longevity Heavenly Venerable's heart to stop.
He had been distracted by another battlefield, but he hadn't expected that person to arrive so quickly.
"Sizzle!"
The first sword embryo to reveal its outline seemed to possess its own Life, simultaneously cleaving through the vast Void and unleashing the secret techniques of the Lingbao Dao Venerable.
The waves surge!
In an instant, the sword energy pierced through a billion light-years, the killing shockwaves shook the world, endless blood light and a tragic crimson glow suddenly appeared, condensing into terrifying sword energy raindrops, which fell back in an instant, covering the vast ocean!
With a deafening roar, drops of dark red blood rained down, black lightning flashed, clouds appeared in the sky, and then a torrential downpour turned the world crimson.
Almost instantly, the domain controlled by the Lord of the Immortal Mausoleum was distorted, with ripples of Shangqing light everywhere, Ghost Rain Like a Waterfall, and countless wailing sounds rising up. Ancient souls and heroic spirits, the remnant souls of powerful warriors who died in battle in the past, reappeared and joined in the howling.
The Primordial Desolation world trembled violently, the Sun-Moon, and stars shook violently, and everything was submerged!
"Destroy!"
The Longevity Heavenly Venerable roared, spitting out blood essence that transformed into an ancient incantation, which then turned into a terrifyingly intense crimson lightning. All things vanished, all things perished, and all tangible matter was pulverized in the lightning.
This lightning bolt was terrifyingly powerful, stretching for tens of thousands of feet, transforming into a mighty force of heaven and earth, and clashing head-on with the Undying Stars Tree in the Void Divine Abyss.
In an instant, the sky seemed to turn into two colors, silver and gold and blood red constantly colliding and impacting, the residual power was terrifying, the Void shattered, and the light emitted from the very center of the collision was so intense that nothing could resist it, it was devastating and far-reaching!
Su Yu paused in the sky, revealing his figure. His hair was draped down to his feet, and his body was covered with dark red frost. His dark eyes were filled with azure light as he stared at the ancient Heavenly Venerable in the sea of blood-red lightning. He had a sense of separation about him, both sacred and cold.
At the same time, a creaking sound of leaves falling rang out, and a silvery ancient tree branch emerged from the distance of the Starry Sea. It was incomparably dazzling, as if it had been refined from silvery-white Immortal Gold. It was divine and holy, flowing with pure Life essence, and lifted the heavily injured and dying Great Accomplishment Sacred Body to the back.
"As expected of Dao Venerable master from the Mythological Era," Su Yu nodded.
The opponent has a keen eye; they immediately set up the field and stabilized it with the blessing of the Heavenly Heart.
For Ancient Supreme like them, whose lifespans are nearing their end, once they fall from their sublime state, facing the combined attack of Lingbao Killing Formation and Heaven-reaching Nether Treasure, there is only one path: death.
but...
How long can you hold out?
He called himself Longevity (meaning "long life"), Return to the Ruins was near.
"The road to death is long and uncertain; I shall be the one to escort them to their grave!"
Su Yu spoke softly, then his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he made a forceful move.
The so-called Ultimate Sublimation is that the more intense the battle, the faster the state is lost.
He moved!
With a thunderous roar, a strange wave surged through the area, intense light blazed, and a true yang star hung high before merging into the yin void.
As the year draws to a close, a new year begins.
Daylight ends, night descends!
Black Sun Finger Severing Life and Death!
Su Yu pressed down with one finger, and the Dao principles at his fingertip burst forth, countless Dao threads condensing into a residual image, which then transformed into obsidian.
That black Taiyang contained the Dao Self and the Departed Self; the terrifying pure yang and the power of the Taiyang intertwined in transformation to form the Perfect World true yang power.
In an instant, heaven and earth collapsed, and this ancient battlefield was transformed into a world of flames. Dark gray Chaos true flames bloomed everywhere, creating a hazy scene that resembled fire but was not fire. They merged with the Void, distorting the surroundings as they burned.
Faced with the ultimate Chaos of true yang, the old Daoist from the Mythological Era unleashed a beam of gray light from his eyes, his hair stood on end, and with a sharp shout, his cracked Longevity Sword shattered the vast space.
The moment the sword was drawn, the universe and stars lost their color, the heavens and earth were split open, and it collided with the terrifying Chaos True Flame.
