Chapter 2522: Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang is a Kind and Venerable Elder

In the endless starry sky, something happened that terrified all living beings.

The Great Emperor!

A peerless Great Emperor of the present age!

A peerless Great Emperor of the present age, just like that, knelt before an ancient monster revived from the long river of time, humble and cautious, without any sharpness, not even a trace of arrogance.

The ancient monster revived from the long river of countless ages silently gazed upon the Devouring Ancient Emperor, gazing upon the Golden Dao-devouring Ants, this clan.

The endless starry sky fell into utter silence; heaven and earth made no sound, even the wind and the turning of the world's four seasons vanished.

No one knew how long had passed.

"Devouring Ancient Daoist friend,"

"I, and you on the Dao, share many similarities—this is truly a beautiful coincidence in the universe."

Jiang Ding spoke lightly.

Actually, this is no coincidence.

The Great Sun Forbidden Zone spent an extremely long journey in the long river of time, passing through one human immortal dynasty after another, finally choosing to anchor in this era—this is the reason.

"This is the fortune of the junior."

The Devouring Ancient Emperor spoke humbly.

He was tiny as dust, his whole body forged like golden immortal metal, golden sharp mouth opening and closing, as if cutting heaven and earth's Dao, cosmic time, with a great blade—truly extraordinary.

"I have always pitied the talents of the world, without distinction between human and non-human."

"Now revived, I have a small matter to trouble Daoist friend with—after this, if your talent suffices, achieving the ancient emperor of the forbidden zone is not impossible."

"I have always been broad-minded, never done the violent act of strangling an embryo, wasting heavenly things."

Jiang Ding smiled gently.

His attitude was extremely kind and friendly, as if facing a junior.

"I do not know what matter the senior has?"

"Please command!"

The Devouring Ancient Emperor's scalp exploded, his heart turned cold, he forced out.

"Good."

"Then open your soul and spirit, let me observe."

Jiang Ding smiled faintly, as if saying what to eat tomorrow.

Boom—

Boom—boom—

The Devouring Ancient Emperor suddenly burned his qi and blood, burned his golden immortal body!

His whole being was like a sun ignited in the degenerate age, carrying his entire clan into the manifested degenerate Dao, the golden extermination Dao forbidden immortal array operated to its limit, the present age emperor's authority shone brilliantly, terrifying aura spread, even emitting a threat felt by the forbidden zone ancient emperor.

Boom—

In the endless light of the degenerate age, the Devouring Ancient Emperor merged with that sun, becoming an invisible radiance, piercing endless space and endless rules, even piercing time, fleeing toward the unknown dark place, vanishing completely in an instant, even the three thousand great Dao of heaven and earth could not sense where the center should be.

The present age emperor, burning all, reaching ultimate sublimation, vanished in an instant!

This speed reached the terrifying extreme, prepared for who knows how long, just for this moment—the Devouring Ancient Emperor, as present age emperor, swept the world invincible, bearing the aspect of the forbidden zone ancient emperor; although in this era he had the aspect of the forbidden zone ancient emperor, his talent might not match those born in hardship ages, yet he remains an unparalleled peerless heavenly pride in the long river of countless ages.

In escape arts, he likewise possessed astonishing talent.

This strike, he exhausted all, the present age emperor's authority operated to the extreme.

In place, only a hazy radiance remained of the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, expressionless, letting the surrounding starry sky slowly calm, letting the Devouring Ancient Emperor flee at least thirty breaths, paying no heed.

"There is always someone,"

"with much naivety, unaware of what they speak of."

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang spoke lightly.

He plainly stretched out his hand, palm up, and at some point a sword appeared in his hand, a hazy sword, as if nurtured by the long river of countless ages, as if a part of the degenerate Dao's essence broken off, forming a terrifying immortal Dao artifact, merely appearing, and countless star regions in the endless starry sky emitted layers of sword cries, countless star seas shattered, recalling something.

Imperial Dao Heavy Weapon·Tai Qing Flying Sword!

This cosmic most vicious weapon slept for countless ages, and now appears again in the human world!

Clang!

Jiang Ding drew his sword, casually slashed down.

This sword, ordinary and unremarkable, was just a casual slash.

Yet the countless worlds of the endless starry sky trembled, the long river of time surged restlessly, as the blade moved, billions of light-years of space tore open, thirty-six layers of time tore open, the heavy mists of the degenerate Dao tore open, countless present age emperor authorities and karma spontaneously split outward————

Beneath the blade, all tangible and intangible things of heaven and earth are severed!

Layer upon layer of space, layer upon layer of past and future were peeled open, like moving stones, revealing an extremely terrifying Golden Dao-devouring Ant and his entire clan, the clan's powerhouses as if arrived at doom, faces showing utter despair, unknown how many once victorious supreme holy kings trembled in fear.

"Kill!"

"Old thing!"

The Devouring Ancient Emperor let out a mournful roar, driving the degenerate Dao and the entire clan's immortal array power, slashing toward that old monster above the endless heavens with an ultimate blade.

The golden blade seemed condensed from the degenerate Dao, neither solid nor illusory, cutting through the utmost things of the human world.

This immortal sword, having crossed endless time, happened to collide with the Tai Qing Flying Sword, only hearing a clear shattering sound, the blade broke!

The gap between them reached terrifying proportions, simply like tofu versus stone!

After the blade broke, heaven-covering sword light filled every eye and consciousness sea of the Golden Dao-devouring Ants, drowning everything, including the Devouring Ancient Emperor within layer upon layer of immortal arrays.

"No!"

"Heaven is unjust————"

The Devouring Ancient Emperor bellowed furiously, still wanting to do something, yet stood frozen in place, having lost all power to resist.

There was no imagined excruciating pain.

It was only a faint chill, a terrifying will slowly seeping into his immortal soul, coldly observing every corner, scrutinizing every inch of his golden immortal body, as if facing a dissected frog on an operating table—no hatred, no killing intent, only the utmost rigor of immortal-path science.

At this moment, the flow of time was clearly abnormal, profoundly strange.

I do not know how long it lasted.

Everything gradually calmed down.

The Golden Devouring Dao Ants and the Devouring Ancient Emperor reappeared before the terrifying, hazy figure of the green-clad youth, everything exactly as it was at the beginning, with no difference whatsoever.

No wounds, no injuries, the surrounding space and the Star Sea showed no signs of shattering.

It seemed as if it had just been—merely an illusion.

It seemed like a dream.

"Go."

"Devouring Ancient Daoist."

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang said calmly: "Sixty million years from now, if you possess talent, then ascend to the Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor—this will face no obstruction; the Golden Great Age needs any talented sentient being."

"As for these sixty million years,"

"They belong to this sovereign."

"How?"

The voice of the Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor, the will of the Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor, each word etched into the Wu Jin Kong Kong Dao, bearing heavenly mandate, will is heavenly will.

"————Good!"

Devouring Ancient Emperor said coldly.
