The traces of the Sun Holy Emperor's Great Dao quickly vanished. The world became vibrant again, as if another golden age was about to begin.
While people mourned the passing of the Sun Holy Emperor, they also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that their chance to become emperor had arrived.
The Sun Holy Emperor lived for nearly 80,000 years, blocking the path to the Great Dao for countless peerless geniuses.
When they sensed the complete disappearance of the Sun Holy Emperor's suppression and the faint appearance of the Heavenly Heart Imprint, many powerful figures knew that a new golden age was about to begin.
Of course, those major holy sites and aristocratic families obviously wouldn't think that way.
They would only tell their family members that the Sun Holy Emperor might have suppressed his own Dao with supreme divine power, so that he would not affect those who later attained the Dao.
Just like what the Overlord Heavenly Venerable did back then.
Moreover, the Sun Holy Emperor consulted the Overlord Heavenly Venerable many times, so he may not really be dead. Perhaps one day he can defy the heavens and return.
Regardless of their speculations, signs of a new emperor's birth have emerged once again.
Prodigies from all races emerged one after another, and powerful Quasi-Emperor were born one after another.
And those unparalleled geniuses who had been sealed away also emerged one after another.
On the Starry Sky Ancient Road, a dazzling array of stars suddenly appeared, radiating their strongest light.
All those who aspire to become emperors fight bloody battles on the Starry Sky Ancient Road.
What was the final result?
Rumble.
Some people claim that this has triggered the Heavenly Tribulation of Enlightenment, and that they intend to become emperor.
Chirp chirp.
Hearing the Phoenix's cry, many powerful beings looked towards the Cosmic Frontier.
In the desolate, Chaos Sea at the Cosmic Frontier, a blood-red Phoenix was desperately fighting its way through the heavenly tribulation.
"It's Phoenix from Blood Phoenix Mountain!"
"This Blood Phoenix is truly remarkable. It has defeated all the peerless geniuses and is actually aiming to become an emperor."
This Blood Phoenix is Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor from the original text.
His path to enlightenment was one of sweeping through the Starry Sky Ancient Road sky, defeating those sealed geniuses and Forbidden Zone Heir, and forcibly attaining enlightenment with unparalleled advantages.
As the last bolt of lightning struck, the Blood Phoenix finally ascended to the throne.
The Great Dao of the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor was imprinted on the Heavenly Heart Imprint, completely merging with it.
His Great Dao permeated the entire universe, suppressing all other Daos and forging his invincible glory.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared above the Heavenly Heart Imprint, hazy and indistinct.
It slowly descended, as if it were about to step on the head of the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor.
Many powerful figures watched this astonishing scene with disbelief.
Who dares to tread upon the Heavenly Heart Imprint, thus humiliating the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor?
Meanwhile, those ancient holy lands and aristocratic families kept their eyes fixed on that seemingly familiar figure.
Soon, someone recognized the figure.
" Overlord Heavenly Venerable!"
It was actually the figure of the Overlord Heavenly Venerable, which many people found unbelievable.
The Overlord Heavenly Venerable is so powerful, yet he has never made things difficult for those who have attained the Dao and become emperors. What is he doing now?
Must we kill this peerless genius who has attained the Dao and become an emperor?
Or has he already transformed into the Dark Supreme, seeking to devour the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor and live a new Lifetime?
"Chirp chirp..."
The cry of the Phoenix tore through the heavens and earth, shaking the entire starry sky.
As someone who has just attained enlightenment, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor has his own pride.
Even if it was the Overlord Heavenly Venerable, someone he admired, he wouldn't allow that person to stand above him.
Rumble.
Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor charged forward, his supreme divine might spreading everywhere, unleashing the strongest attack of his life.
The forbidden secret techniques containing his great Dao were all struck at that figure.
With a soft "poof".
The figure of the Overlord Heavenly Venerable instantly turned into ashes and then into a shower of light that scattered everywhere.
It reformed after a short time, only to be scattered again by the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor.
Then, repeating this many times, the Overlord Heavenly Venerable only defended and did not attack.
"This is not the real Overlord Heavenly Venerable."
" The Overlord Heavenly Venerable can't be that weak."
"Is this just a trace of his mark?"
" The Overlord Heavenly Venerable is not dead yet?"
The Sun Holy Emperor is dead, a new emperor has been born, and the Overlord Heavenly Venerable is still alive—this news is truly astonishing.
The Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor successfully attained enlightenment and fought a fierce battle with the mark of the Overlord Heavenly Venerable for hundreds of rounds.
Although it seemed that the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor an absolute advantage, he frowned deeply.
He knew, of course, that the so-called Overlord Heavenly Venerable was not his true form, but merely a mark left behind in the Heavenly Heart Imprint.
He seemed incredibly powerful just now, but he felt as if his Dao had been stolen.
Yes, it was as if this imprint had glimpsed all my insights into the Great Dao.
His feeling was right.
This is a forbidden secret technique that Xiao Ping'an accidentally comprehended during his cultivation.
By placing one's own imprint on the Heavenly Heart Imprint, future enlightened beings, once they appear, will imprint their own original Great Dao on the Heavenly Heart Imprint, thus triggering this imprint.
And his path to enlightenment will be perfectly stolen by Xiao Ping'an.
This is a way for Xiao Ping'an to comprehend the Great Dao.
It may seem shameless, but it's extremely useful.
He didn't tell anyone.
This Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor was the first to suffer a loss.
However, Xiao Ping'an did not intend to let this person suffer a loss, and planned to teach him the theory of the Red Dust Transformation Method in the future.
After all, this was one of the Dark Supreme who had not launched Dark Turmoil in the original story, so Xiao Ping'an was quite optimistic about him.
When the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor attained enlightenment, his might overwhelmed the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and wherever he went, everyone bowed down in worship.
Because the Taiyin Holy Emperor, the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor, and the Sun Holy Emperor all lived for extremely long periods of time, people have been speculating about how many tens of thousands of years the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor could live.
Just as people had guessed, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor entered the Underworld to consult with the Overlord Heavenly Venerable.
He lived for 15,000 years in his Lifetime and 15,000 years in his second life.
This was just an ordinary Ancient Emperor, whose lifespan was about 30,000 years.
Then he transformed into the Saint Spirit Stone Embryo, to live a new Lifetime through the Saint Spirit Transformation Method.
He did not enter the Underworld, but instead transformed Blood Phoenix Mountain into a forbidden zone.
They carved out a pure land from the Hundun of the universe, searched for dragon veins in the cosmos, and migrated to Blood Phoenix Mountain.
He will be transformed into the Saint Spirit there, and will live out his third life in this way.
The news of the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor's passing spread quickly.
From that time on, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor never appeared in the world again.
Time flies, and more than ten thousand years have passed since the death of the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor.
The traces of the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor's Great Dao disappeared completely, and soon signs of a new emperor's birth appeared.
Only when the stars shine brightly can an unparalleled genius emerge and radiate the most dazzling brilliance.
The Starry Sky Ancient Road has reopened, and the flames of war have reignited.
Rumble.
A dazzling light flashed, instantly turning countless skeletons into ashes.
This is a world of death, one of the most infamous trial grounds on the Starry Sky Ancient Road.
Legend has it that in this Death Kingdom, there lives a powerful Quasi-Emperor named the Skeleton King.
His strength is astonishing; ordinary people dare not provoke him.
In this world, no living being has flesh and blood; everywhere is a landscape of white bones and skeletons.
Green will-o'-the-wisps flickered in the eyes of all the skulls, emanating an aura of death and destruction.
They are a strange kind of creature.
In a world of death and darkness, countless millennia have passed.
One after another, peerless geniuses slaughtered wave after wave of skeletons.
Even though they were already Quasi-Emperor, they were still shocked by the astonishing aura here.
Black mist swirls everywhere, resembling but not quite the legendary Netherworld.
Just then, a dragon's roar resounded through the sky.
A gigantic white bone dragon soared into the sky, accompanied by rolling black clouds that shook the starry heavens.
He exuded an incomparably terrifying Quasi-Emperor aura, causing countless trial participants to flee in panic.
"Enough!"
"You intruders can get out of here."
The skeletal dragon unleashed a cold, furious roar that echoed throughout the entire Death Kingdom.
Just then, a gigantic ghostly claw suddenly emerged from a mountain peak covered in white bones, tearing through the Xukong and emanating endless death energy.
A being with flesh and blood has appeared.
This news is absolutely terrifying and horrifying.
After all, this is a world of bones, and many people here have never seen a living being with flesh and blood.
Flesh and blood had actually grown back on the skeleton's body; his strength was truly astonishing.
Upon encountering that pitch-black humanoid creature, they flipped over and flew onto the back of the giant skeletal dragon.
The giant dragon roared to the sky, radiating boundless dragon might. People thought that these two powerful creatures would fight.
To their surprise, they discovered that the giant skeletal dragon was merely the mount of an unknown powerful figure.
"I am the Skeleton King, I am the master of this world!"
"According to my agreement with the Overlord Heavenly Venerable, I am now free to emerge into the world and attempt to prove myself as an emperor!"
"You ants will all be stepping stones for my path to the throne!"
A deafening roar erupted.
All the peerless geniuses who had trained here coughed up blood and their bodies exploded.
Although he did not die, he was seriously injured.
Then the Skeleton King tore through the Xukong and vanished.
He embarked on the Starry Sky Ancient Road, determined to prove himself as emperor.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
Undying Mountain.
Endless Hundun essence fell from the starry sky and into the Undying Mountain.
Then, guided by a mysterious formation, it flowed into the two Shitou eggs.
Beneath each of these two Shitou eggs are three Fortune Source Eye, from which flows endless divine light of Fortune.
Beside them, a beautiful young girl, holding a wooden stick, would occasionally tap this Shitou egg and then that Shitou egg, appearing very mischievous.
However, a somewhat panicked fluctuation of divine consciousness emanated from that Shitou egg, as if it were extremely aggrieved.
Beside the young girl stood a tall and imposing man.
He was currently cultivating and comprehending the Dao, with the sound of chanting emanating from his body, the heavenly sounds of the Great Dao resounding, and the three Supreme laws flowing around his body.
This person was none other than the Overlord Heavenly Venerable Xiao Ping'an.
This mischievous girl was none other than his third daughter, Xiao Xingyao.
At this moment, she had completely devoured and refined her own Fortune Source Eye.
She was born in this era.
Before Xingyao, six Fortune Source Eye rose and fell, releasing endless essence to nourish the two Shitou eggs.
This Fortune Source Eye is so mysterious and powerful that it is something that any cultivator can only hope to encounter but never obtain.
There are six of them here all at once, that's really amazing.
That's right, these are the Great Phoenix and Little Phoenix that the Undying Heavenly Emperor nurtured using the essence blood left behind by Xiao Ping'an.
These six Fortune Source Eye were also the ones he found back then.
With so many treasures to cleanse one's innate qualities, one is destined to attain the Dao and become an emperor in the future.
No one expected that the Overlord Heavenly Venerable had left the Underworld and actually arrived at the Undying Mountain.
He was observing the Fortune Source Eye here, and actually wanted to live a new Lifetime using the Fortune Source Eye.
It was a long time before Overlord Heavenly Venerable finally came to his senses from his state of enlightenment.
He looked at the girl who was teasing his two younger brothers, a helpless expression on his face.
He grabbed the girl.
"My dear daughter, you're treating your little brother like a toy again. How naughty!"
The girl was overjoyed to see Xiao Ping'an regain his senses.
Tell Xiao Ping'an that she's also going to debut.
She wants to break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Tyrant Body and, like her father, prove herself as an emperor.
Xiao Ping'an wanted to say something about his daughter's ambition, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. He simply offered her some encouragement.
To attain the Dao and become an emperor is never a simple matter.
It's good to have that ambition.
"Father, you said that by comprehending the Fortune Source Eye, one might be able to live a new Lifetime. I wonder how much you've already gained? How confident are you?"
Looking at his beloved daughter, Xiao Ping'an smiled and said, "No problem, Dad will live to see the next Lifetime."
"This Fortune Source Eye truly lives up to its legendary reputation as a treasure capable of nurturing True Immortal in the Immortal Domain. It is truly wondrous. Although I have studied it for so many years and have not fully comprehended it, what I have gained is enough to benefit me for the rest of my life."
Xiao Ping'an hadn't expected that the Fortune Source Eye would be so miraculous.
Comprehending this thing seems to open the door to immortality within one's body, allowing one to become an immortal in this world.
Yes, it's not about Red Dust Immortal Ascension, but about becoming an immortal right here in this world.
However, Xiao Ping'an had no intention of becoming True Immortal; he wanted to become Mortal World Immortal.
Therefore, Xiao Ping'an gave up some things, only to live out a new Lifetime.
Moreover, after Xiao Ping'an gained some insight, he could boldly guess that the Emperor Venerable and the Undying Heavenly Emperor in the original text must have also lived a new Lifetime through the Fortune Source Eye.
Although it wasn't mentioned in the original text, he really did deduce it.
The reason why later Ancient Emperor failed to find this method was that those Fortune Source Eye had long been exhausted.
The last six Fortune Source Eye fell into the hands of the Undying Heavenly Emperor, and no one else had a chance to obtain them.
Therefore, this method of living a new Lifetime was unknown to anyone in the world.
The Undying Heavenly Emperor found six and gave them to the Great Phoenix and the Little Phoenix.
Xiao Ping'an found five, and after giving them to his three sons and one daughter, he still had one left for himself.
He had originally intended to leave it to his descendants, but after thinking about it, he decided to use it himself.
Xiao Ping'an first scolded his daughter, telling her not to tamper with the settings on her two younger brothers' premises. After all, they were undergoing a transformation, and if anything went wrong, it would be a waste of six Fortune Source Eye.
Then he began to explain the Great Way to his daughter.
Now that this daughter is about to debut and prove herself as emperor, she cannot afford to lose face.
As Xiao Ping'an delivered his sermon, his daughter Xingyao listened intently.
He was very satisfied.
With his personal guidance, it was undoubtedly an amazing Fortune of luck.
How many people in the world are qualified to receive his guidance?
There, the great road roared, and countless divine lights shone.
Countless Great Dao Runes transformed into showers of light, swirling around Xingyao.
He explained only the most basic profound mysteries of the Great Dao, all for the sake of this daughter, to forge the strongest foundation of the Great Dao.
Even after a long time, the road still roared and steam rose from the ground.
Even after Xiao Ping'an finished speaking, Xingyao was still reluctant to stop.
Even the unborn Great Phoenix and its Little Phoenix benefited greatly.
After his daughter successfully Severing the Dao, Xiao Ping'an sent her away to train on the Starry Sky Ancient Road.
Seeing his daughter's vibrant and energetic appearance, Xiao Ping'an felt very gratified.
Although he had high hopes for this daughter, he didn't necessarily expect her to become emperor.
In Xiao Ping'an's view, achieving Alternative Dao Attainment is enough.
Rumble.
Only a century has passed, and someone has already attained the Dao and become emperor.
The one who attained the Dao and became Emperor was actually the Skeleton King, who came from a training ground on the Starry Sky Ancient Road.
This wondrous skeleton, which once lived in Hundun world, was the very creature that Xiao Ping'an discovered in the world he unearthed from the Hundun.
He set up that place as a training ground.
Later, this Skeleton King to enter the Netherworld Underworld slumber there for a very long time, during which he comprehended the Great Dao.
Xiao Ping'an originally thought this was a reward for the Skeleton King's trials on the Starry Sky Ancient Road, and never imagined that the Skeleton King would later have such Fortune.
After all, the original text never mentions that the Skeleton King attained the status of emperor.
However, after this Skeleton King slept in the Yellow Springs Netherworld gained enlightenment, he seemed to have obtained an extraordinary opportunity for Fortune.
Many people believe it to be a powerful being from the Underworld, Yin God born in the Netherworld Underworld, and thus keep their distance from it.
That's not actually the case.
He truly was Skeleton King born in that world of death.
Many people dislike the aura emanating from skeletons, these undead creatures.
Surprisingly, after the Skeleton King slept in the Yellow Springs, it grew flesh and blood.
After attaining the Dao and becoming an emperor, he appeared to be no different from an ordinary human.
They are the same flesh and blood.
People were initially worried that this Skeleton King was tyrannical, would slaughter indiscriminately, and wreak havoc on the world.
But after this Skeleton King attained enlightenment and became emperor, he did not commit any evil deeds.
Instead, like all Ancient Emperor, he was awe-inspiring Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, protecting all living beings.
This was completely unexpected.
However, this was both expected and reasonable.
It is said that this Skeleton King has entered the Underworld and the Undying Mountain many times.
It is said that he consulted Overlord Heavenly Venerable on many occasions.
As for whether it's true that they found traces of the Overlord Heavenly Venerable, that's hard to say.
However, this Skeleton King, after living two lives, transformed into Saint Spirit Stone Embryo through the Saint Spirit Transformation Method.
He did not instigate Dark Turmoil, nor did he sever himself; he simply transformed into Saint Spirit Stone Embryo in the Underworld.
