Chapter 2564

One moment, this part of the starry sky had a tense, drawn-bow feeling.

Many forbidden-zone ancient emperors looked toward this place, as the light fell on the blue-clad youth and the golden path-devouring ants, with a playful expression.

The Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, the human sword-path forbidden-zone ancient emperor, yet showed no sharpness, always lukewarm, as if he were more a law cultivator than a sword cultivator.

This human sword-path forbidden-zone ancient emperor had left a deep impression on everyone.

Under the Dao lineage, nine ancient emperors had once appeared; though the ninth immortal dynasty era had passed, it was not so distant, and people still remembered this name.

"Oh?"

"You want to seize the Jiu Ling Yu from me?"

Jiang Ding was slightly surprised, looking at the small golden path-devouring ant not far away.

Now, in the Tai Yang Xi, there existed a citizen polity, with many citizens and central array-spirit computers living there; once this star field fell into another forbidden-zone ancient emperor's hands, the immortal gate civilization would likely face extinction, countless citizens dying.

Thus, the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang was somewhat surprised.

Could it be that the beings of Shen Zhou had always thought his temper was good?

"No."

"This is the extermination-law star field, our clan's ancestral land since ancient times—where is there any Jiu Ling Yu? Nonsense!"

The Tun Gu Da Emperor laughed loudly.

In his words, killing intent ran rampant, and there was also a bone-deep hatred that could not be washed away even after countless ages—this was the hatred of the forbidden-zone great emperor.

Hum!

Buzz buzz buzz————

Amid the Tun Gu Da Emperor's long laughter, golden points like specks flew out—the golden path-devouring ants—devouring space, rules, and spiritual energy along the way, like a golden flood overwhelming everything, emitting an extremely terrifying aura, causing the surrounding forbidden-zone ancient emperors to flee swiftly.

Forbidden-zone beings, golden path-devouring ant legion!

This is a group-type immortal-being, born in the Tai Yang Xi, which achieved the forbidden-zone Dao lineage, no longer the weak appearance once controlled and exploited by the forbidden-zone ancient emperors.

"Kill!"

"Tai Shang Da Ri old dog! This emperor has missed you for too long!"

Tun Gu Da Emperor said with a feral grin.

Trillions of golden path-devouring ants, like dust, like the Two Instruments Grand Array, covered the sky and earth toward the blue-clad youth—these are beings born in the end-of-law era, naturally suited to devour all immortal substances of Shen Zhou, and through countless billions of years of iteration and evolution, have become extremely eager to devour sword cultivators and sword intent.

This is a being born to devour sword cultivators!

For how many hundreds of millions of years has Tun Gu Da Emperor never ceased recalling that humiliating scene—an old thing enslaving him when he was weak—this deep hatred profoundly affected him, letting him evolve into a form countering the Tai Shang Da Ri Dao lineage—this is the path of innate countering!

Once the devouring is complete, the two end-of-law great Dao will unite, surely allowing a glimpse of the immortal opportunity!

Dark-gold solar winds swept in, bringing a terrifying, solemn, destructive aura—these were golden path-devouring ant legions, under the command of the forbidden-zone ancient emperors, charging into the Great Sun Forbidden Zone.

They devoured everything along the way—grass, trees, soil, stone, rules, nothing left untouched.

Yet at the center of the Great Sun Forbidden Zone, a blue-clad youth gazed calmly at this scene, as if the swarm-devouring forbidden zone were not his own.

Cold, tranquil.

Detached, as if a heavenly being.

This tranquility, this coldness, made many observing forbidden-zone ancient emperors' hearts jerk.

In Tun Gu Da Emperor's immortal soul, omens flickered frequently, yet he could never accurately calculate the answer, only feeling an ever-cold sensation grow more obvious.

"How could this be?"

"Why? What has this emperor missed? ————"

Tun Gu Da Emperor's heart roared madly, yet showed no sign of retreat, instead merging with the insect swarm to form a beam of ancient end-of-law extermination-law light, shooting toward the blue-clad youth.

He would break the Dao with force!

No matter what ghosts and monsters, conspiracies and oddities—under the swiftest, crudest force, they all turn to dust!

However, in the next moment, all the forbidden-zone ancient emperors' pupils contracted.

"Wrong!"

"Impossible!"

"Eight————"

Many forbidden-zone ancient emperors lost their voices instantly.

Boom—

Boom boom boom————

At the instant Tun Gu Da Emperor and the golden path-devouring ant swarm were about to reach the blue-clad youth, heaven and earth suddenly trembled without cease, the mighty end-of-law Dao flood descended from the sky, covering all of Shen Zhou, even covering the previous traces of the Great Sun Forbidden Zone great emperor attaining the Dao.

Within that end-of-law Dao flood, a scripture slowly opened, named the 《Extermination Law Sun Immortal Scripture》.

And at this very moment, on this scripture, countless patterns reorganized, folded, the Dao collapsed, undergoing countless billions of complex changes, finally forming a string of mysterious characters, the number of characters being eight.

Eight characters.

Eight-character Immortal Scripture.

An Eight-character Immortal Scripture achieved in an instant.

From this moment on, an endless terrifying icy crisis appeared in the immortal souls of all present forbidden-zone ancient emperors, all battle instincts frantically warning.

This is a terrifying existence utterly different from the present great emperor Huang Gu!

Though the Huang Gu great emperor is indeed strong, it is only strength in quantity—he possesses the present emperor's crown, receives heavenly favor, every move has infinite power, destroys heaven and earth; were it not for the present emergence of too many forbidden-zone ancient emperors—twenty-eight in total—Huang Gu great emperor could at least defeat a terrifying existence formed by countless forbidden-zone ancient emperors joining forces.

But now, this blue-clad youth, in the eyes of the forbidden-zone emperors, is completely different.

In terms of power quantity, he has not greatly surpassed others, but his aura is too transcendent, possessing a sharpness that reaches the essence of the soul.

This is a power far surpassing the Nine-character Immortal Scripture!

But how could this be possible?

He has only just recovered! How could he possibly break through the Eight-character Immortal Scripture so quickly—in an instant!

In an instant, the forbidden zones once again formed a terrifying great array, and they retreated far beyond the vigilance needed to face the Primordial Ancient Emperor, for they had smelled the scent of death.

But while others could retreat, the Devouring Ancient Emperor could not.

The Devouring Ancient Emperor did not retreat; instead, he actively charged forward, actively arriving before the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture Ancient Emperor, and the cosmic flowing light was but a fleeting moment.

At this moment, the blue-clad youth could even see the terror in the eyes of that golden worm.

"Devouring Ancient—"

"I will tell you one thing: among the forbidden zone ancient emperors, they are not entirely the same."

Jiang Ding slowly drew his long sword amidst the clanging sounds, and said calmly: "You have achieved the status of forbidden zone ancient emperor, exhausting all that you are, while I have achieved the status of forbidden zone ancient emperor, for it is only permitted by heaven and earth that the Nine-Character Immortal Scripture may appear."

"When heaven and earth change, you are only worthy to look up to me."

"Do you understand?"

Clang!

The Taiqing Flying Sword appeared!

The Taiqing Flying Sword pierced into the core of the Golden Devouring Dao Ant Immortal Array, destroying the immortal array that deeply involved causality, space, rules, and the Great Dao, and then forcibly dug out the Devouring Ancient Emperor from within the masses of Golden Devouring Dao Ants, allowing this golden little worm to bounce back and forth in the palm, unable to destroy anything.

One sword!

Just one sword!

No one knew where this sword came from, nor how it directly broke through the core of the Devouring Ancient Emperor, only knowing that with one sword, a forbidden zone ancient emperor bowed his head.

This sight made all beings under heaven and earth tremble with fear.
