Chapter 2543

The bloodshed between the Blood Yang Sword Heir and the Nine Leaves Sword Heir in this era drew many watchful eyes in the starry void.

After millions of years of war, the Nine Leaves Sword Heir fell into a clear disadvantage, losing many territories; the Nine Leaves Sword Grass clan cultivators were slaughtered in great numbers by human sword cultivators, many vassal races of the Nine Leaves Sword Grass perished miserably, and even on the front lines, confronting the Blood Yang Sword Heir, they were repeatedly driven back.

At this time, the starry domain of the Nine Leaves Sword Grass clan had shrunk to only over a thousand star domains.

A sign of impending total defeat.

Perhaps the Nine Leaves Sword Heir's talent and brilliance were not inferior to the Blood Yang Sword Heir's, but his clan's foundation was too weak, and under the encirclement of countless human sword cultivators, he was slowly marching toward death.

"This Blood Yang brat has a great fortune."

"I hope in the future he will challenge me to a holy sword duel."

Jiang Ding sighed.

His final gaze fell upon the Dao lineage of the Tushan maidens in the Weaver Girl Star Domain.

Here, development had been rather uneventful.

This generation's maiden chief—no, they now call themselves the Sùnǚ—have likewise become true immortals, but only expanded their star domain to a few hundred, then encountered many true immortals, and now are locked in a stalemate of battle, sometimes allied, sometimes opposed, with no clear advantage.

Compared to the immortal sects and the Great Sun sword cultivators, the Tushan Maiden Dao inheritance is indeed somewhat ordinary.

Many years ago, the Tushan Maiden rulers dominated more of the boundless starry void due to political factors; compared to the immortal sects and Great Sun sword cultivators, they more easily gained the support of the myriad forces of the boundless starry void, and were the true inheritors of the Forbidden Zone Great Emperor's political policies.

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang gazed upon the present boundless starry void.

Truly, heaven's pride like clouds, outstanding talents like rain.

Many inheritors of the ancient emperors, even many of the Forbidden Zone ancient emperor inheritors, plus the peerless heavenly talents born in this age, along with the unique abundance of heavenly materials and earthly treasures of the Golden Great Age, the heavenly and earthly Dao essences—this soil of the immortal Dao is so fertile as to astonish, and the war's intensity far surpasses that of bygone eras.

At this moment, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's gaze fell upon a figure.

It was a golden-yellow ant clan, settled in the Molten Gold Star Domain, devouring all directions, already possessing over ten thousand star domains and still expanding; their clan's army moved like a golden Tianhe across the cosmic starry void, wherever they passed, mighty heroes and overlords perished, leaving behind a field of white bones, their ferocious might resounding.

Instantly, a surge of intense joy arose in the heart of the green-clad youth.

Golden Devouring Dao Ant!

This is the clan that once produced a Forbidden Zone Great Emperor—the peerless heavenly talent of the末法 Great Dao in the human realm—and they have finally emerged!

"Devour the Ancient!"

"Hahaha! Devour the Ancient! You have lived to see the Golden Great Age! Hahaha————"

Jiang Ding's face showed a smile, and he could not help laughing aloud.

There is a reason for this.

He wants to kill the Devouring Ancient Emperor.

And once the Devouring Ancient Emperor is born, he has absolute certainty to pinpoint the Devouring Ancient Emperor's location—the Devouring Ancient Emperor will absolutely not escape!

Because this emperor's path is precisely what he brought about.

And Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang believes he can certainly slay this Forbidden Zone Great Emperor to complete his own Dao breakthrough, with no reason other than his conviction that he will surely prevail.

"Back then,"

"Did this brat, after this lord fell asleep, slaughter the human race of the boundless starry void?"

"Seeing it, I forgot—this lord's words back then————"

Jiang Ding's face bore a smile, but his voice was somewhat icy, making hearts turn cold: "How many years have passed, until finally someone again so lightly regards or even ignores this lord—truly excellent."

"Golden Devouring Dao Ant clan,"

"This clan might become the beginning of the immortal sect's transcendent-tier elite Dao兵 machine legion; this entire race is superb material, and the immortal sect will in the future possess transcendent power beyond the extermination-law fleets, held in the hands of the central spirit legion computer, and this too is a great civilizational foundation."

Golden Great Age, infinite fortune, infinite longing.

Many Forbidden Zone ancient emperors are already impatient, continuously adding bricks and tiles to this great age, sending down inheritors, promoting the birth of the present age's great emperors.

And heaven and earth, and the heavenly Dao, will likewise do so.

This is not because the heavenly Dao has any consciousness; heaven and earth are not benevolent, treating all things as straw dogs, and will not deliberately favor any particular being—but rather, the causality and fortune in heaven and earth naturally converge, accumulating upon a certain kind of being in a certain place, gathering and enriching, forming what is called the child of the era's fortune.

The child of this era's fortune is about to appear.

The human race's fortune is seething, unable to accept their race's obscurity in this age, influencing the entire human heavenly Dao, seeking what to be born, what to change.

This time, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's revival carries just such a factor.

"Fortune—"

"Heaven and earth's fortune, human race's fortune—"

Jiang Ding's gaze was dim, unknown what he thought, as he looked toward the edge of the Forbidden Zone.

There, a youth in tattered clothes was being pursued, about to die; in desperation, his face showed a grim expression as he charged headlong into the Great Sun Forbidden Zone.

This place has since ancient times been a land of absolute death, a dead land.

Since ancient times, no living being has ever come out alive from here, with no historical record; all great teachings, holy lands, and immortal sects dread this place deeply.

"He is surely dead."

"This is already a corpse; no need to pursue further."

The pursuer of the youth was an ice-cold woman of the Phoenix Immortal clan, who at this moment spoke coldly.

She looked with wary eyes at the various things in the Forbidden Zone, dared not speak loudly, held her breath, and slowly retreated with her fellow clan cultivators, her figure vanishing completely into the thicket.

"Whoo—"

"Whoo-whoo-whoo—"

The resolute youth panted heavily, collapsing onto a stone in the Forbidden Zone, gazing at the great hole in his chest, revealing a grim expression.

"Phoenix clan, claiming to be the primordial chaotic beings of heaven and earth's beginning, yet sunk to such baseness."

"Just a mere phoenix-blood stone."

"6

"All this, only because I trusted a petty person, thus inviting this great calamity."

The resolute youth gave a bitter laugh.

In his chest, numerous terrifying phoenix divine flames burned, undying and unextinguished, devouring his soul and flesh; even if sealed by secret arts, they merely delayed the pace of death.

Phoenix divine fire—contact means death, no cure.

Despair and regret filled the heart of the resolute youth.

"No!"

"I cannot give up; if I die, what will become of my brothers? What of Le'er? What of the myriad beings of the human race? Rumor says the Primordial Forbidden Land holds great fortune—I am doomed to die anyway, so why should I shrink back—"

The resolute youth spat a large mouthful of blood, staggering forward into the depths of the forbidden land.

On his person, he possessed a secret treasure obtained by chance—a token of indeterminate form that occasionally trembled to give him hints, allowing him to evade the terrifying killing formations capable of instantly slaying Saint Realm cultivators, and thus slowly, slowly approach the heart of the forbidden zone.

A gaze silently watched this youth, and his shattered token.
