Chapter 2584

Hongxian Palace.

This is the residence of the Hongxian Ancient Emperor, the center of the Hongxian Domain, the place where the Hongxian Forbidden Zone fell. Many Emperors of the Four Directions are busy here, laying down the Forbidden Zone Star Domain Immortal Array of the Hongxian Immortal Dynasty. Currently, more than half has been completed, with astonishing efficiency. The Forbidden Zone carries an entire Immortal Dynasty civilization with it, fully equipped in all aspects.

Of course, this is also related to the size of the Hongxian Domain and the strength of the Forbidden Zone Immortal Array.

Beneath the dim starry sky, amidst layers of red gauze, the wind howls. Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang and Hongxian Gu Huang each sit cross-legged on opposite sides of the chessboard, each holding black and white pieces, sipping tea as they play.

At a glance, the refined youth in blue robes and the delicate girl like a white flower appear as two innocent childhood sweethearts playing together, exuding a pure, hazy beauty between boy and girl.

Yet, between them, only a faint killing intent lies hidden.

Each holds a piece; as they fall one by one, the rules of the End of Dharma Great Dao and the Marriage Great Dao intertwine and cross. Faintly, the aura of time spreads, allowing an unfathomable power to emerge, forcibly reversing the flow of time in that patch of starry sky, breaking through the concealment and obstruction of unknown existences.

The Marriage Great Dao has always excelled in tracing causality.

The End of Dharma Great Dao and sword cultivators, on the other hand, crush causal obstacles with ease. The height of the Eight Characters Immortal Scripture further carries a transcendent nature, naturally possessing a higher status, and in deduction and tracing, it naturally holds the advantage of terrain.

Working together, the Great Dao is set in motion, the River of Time is reversed, layer upon layer of veils are lifted, and the scenes of what happened back then are revealed.

In the scene, the Flame Flow Sword Emperor commands the Forbidden Zone's puppet Dao soldiers as they shuttle through the Milky Way.

The military formation is strict and orderly; the Forbidden Zone Dao soldiers exert pressure in all directions; the Emperor-level sword cultivator bears a calm demeanor, having endured countless storms of blood and rain, with no flaw in any aspect.

Even if surrounded and attacked by several Ten Characters Immortal Scripture Ancient Emperors, such a force could not be defeated, let alone vanish within a few breaths.

This must be the work of a Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor acting in secret!

The scene shifts, with the sound of rustling, a black-robed figure hidden in black mist appears. Beneath his feet, black tides like swarms of black insects spread outward, engulfing the entire Forbidden Zone Dao soldier fleet.

This is the entire process.

"Oh?"

Jiang Ding's pupils burst with black and white light as he perceives the essence, letting out a soft "yi."

Whoosh!

In his pupils, black and white light shoots forth, landing on the black-robed figure in the scene, peeling away layer upon layer of black mist from his exterior, revealing his true nature.

This is a tall man with wildly dancing black hair, his face withered and yellowish-brown. Between his strands grow branch-like tendrils resembling flesh and blood, arranged like a crown. Beneath his feet, writhing long whiskers take root, deeply embedded between the starry sky and the Great Dao. His essence is the Life Great Dao.

"Who is this junior?"

Hongxian Gu Huang said with interest.

"Blood Meat Pole Extreme Ancient Emperor — "

"Back then, after the Tai Shang Da Ri Dao Tong endured for 2.5 billion years, it gave birth to the Tai Shang Da Ri Second Immortal Dynasty, the Yue Yin Immortal Dynasty. The Nine Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperors were unwilling to let this continue. During the era of emperor ascension after Yue Yin fell into slumber, they dispatched vast numbers of True Immortal heirs to defeat the True Immortal heirs of the Tai Shang Da Ri Dao Tong — finally, it was a being named the Blood Meat Tree True Immortal heir who achieved the status of Ancient Emperor of this age."

Jiang Ding explained lightly.

"I see."

Hongxian Gu Huang nodded slightly, continuing to seek deeper essence.

Jiang Ding's expression showed no anger at being provoked by the weak. His pupils, flashing with black and white light, inch by inch scanned the star域 space reversed back, missing not a single minute detail.

Clearly, the two Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperors do not believe the Blood Meat Pole Extreme Ancient Emperor could accomplish such a thing.

Merely a Ten Characters Immortal Scripture Ancient Emperor — though already exceptionally talented among Ancient Emperors — yet wishing to participate in Forbidden Zone-level causality still appears too weak. He lacks such ability; he is merely a veil cast forth by some existence, not real.

However, the fact that the Blood Meat Pole Extreme Ancient Emperor is so easily controlled and influenced already indicates something.

Ancient Emperors, though greatly inferior to Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperors, are still the supreme invincible beings of their era in the boundless starry sky. Even if unable to prevail, maintaining autonomy, even to the point of suicide at critical moments, poses no problem — they are not the sort to be easily controlled. This does not conform to immortal theory.

The enlightenment of the Blood Meat Pole Extreme Ancient Emperor must have been deeply influenced by some Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor, to the extent that this Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor can easily control a Ten Characters Immortal Scripture Ancient Emperor.

Similar to the case of the Golden Consuming Dao Ant clan's Swallowing Emperor.

This narrows the scope.

"Those nine Forbidden Zone Emperors who emerged after the Second Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Dynasty, the Yue Yin Immortal Dynasty?"

"Nine Leaves, Undying, Wastestone — "

Jiang Ding muttered to himself.

The rest of the words he did not speak aloud — namely, as well as the Sun Ancient Emperor, Qingfeng Beidou Ancient Emperor, and others.

Currently, due to the deep influence of the Sun Ancient Emperor, among the human emperors there remains temporarily a certain offensive-defensive alliance. Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang also benefits greatly from this loose alliance, successfully occupying one-third of the boundless starry sky's territory by leveraging this racial alliance.

Thus, he will to some extent emphasize corresponding political influence, maintaining the image of human unity before foreign Ancient Emperors.

"Fellow Daoist Sun, Fellow Daoist Qingfeng Beidou, and others!"

"Your human race's internal strife and slaughter has always been commonplace, nothing new."

Hongxian Gu Huang snorted, laying out the unfinished words of the blue-clad youth on the table.

This is not mockery for venting.

As she moved her bare hands, plucking at the Marriage Red Threads, the mist on the Blood Meat Pole Extreme Ancient Emperor in the scene was peeled away layer by layer, revealing its innermost causal skeleton, tracing back to the source of this Ancient Emperor's enlightenment, the most fundamental beginning — this essence even the Blood Meat Pole Extreme Ancient Emperor himself does not know.

During this process, the sword of the End of Dharma Great Dao, aided by the Marriage Red Threads, likewise conducted its own tracing and reversal, and did not trust a foreign Ancient Emperor.

In the Tai Shang Da Ri Sword Dao, tracing and reversal methods are likewise top-tier in the boundless starry sky.

After several breaths, when the outer causal layers of the Blood Meat Pole Extreme Ancient Emperor were peeled away one by one, revealing its essence, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang

fell into silence for a moment.

"Hehe!"

"Interesting!"

"Hahaha————Interesting————Truly interesting————Hahaha————Hahaha————"

Hongxian Gu Huang could not contain her joy, pursing her lips in a light laugh.

Following the gaze of the two Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperors toward the scene, after peeling away layer upon layer of causality, a causal thread appeared on the Blood Meat Pole Extreme Ancient Emperor's body, within which flashed a scene from ancient times before.

A pitch-black Blood Meat Demon Tree sapling, blessed with immense fortune, inadvertently swallowed a Sun Immortal Fruit. After gaining this opportunity, it rose step by step, ultimately achieving the status of Ancient Emperor.

This secret, this heaven-defying opportunity, was unconsciously kept by the Blood Meat Pole Extreme Ancient Emperor, never spoken to any living being.
