Chapter 2593: The Arranger and the Wronged Dead

The turbulent river of time calmed.

Then, blood rained from the heavens!

Woo—

Woo woo—

In the human realm, a great wind rose, as if wailing, as if grieving; figures of beings from the human world, hell, asuras, and heaven appeared one after another, all weeping, blood and tears falling to the ground, countless netherworld beings feeling an uncontrollable sorrow and grief welling up in their hearts, tears flowing without cease.

Only then did people suddenly realize with shock: the cruel, cold-blooded immortal emperor who had slaughtered countless beings was in fact the source of countless netherworld beings, the ancestor of countless netherworld beings.

Boom!

Boom boom—

At this moment, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Great Dao trembled incessantly; in the Boundless Starry Sky, bloody lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, heaven and earth fell into chaos, and within the heavenly Dao that composed many great Dao and rules, a small part briefly went vacant, causing the Boundless Starry Sky to surge uneasily, order turning toward chaos.

By this point, the forbidden zone emperors had become very tightly fused with their respective great Dao.

When the forbidden zone auspicious emperor fell, the husband Dao also began to show some deficiencies; heaven and earth fell into a brief state of chaos, and many strange omens appeared.

On the surface, this was heaven and earth grieving, the sorrow of the great Dao.

In truth, heaven and earth are not benevolent, treating all things as straw dogs—how could the heavenly Dao have any sorrow? It was merely a celestial phenomenon caused by a temporary vacancy in the great Dao's rules.

At this moment, the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor, the Qingfeng Beidou Ancient Emperor, and others were all stunned.

This was the first time in the Golden Age that a forbidden zone emperor had fallen.

Last time, although the Golden Age Devouring Dao Ant's Swallowing Ancient Emperor was defeated by a single sword strike from the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, he was not killed—only captured, and no celestial phenomenon occurred.

Now, however, a truly ancient forbidden zone emperor had died.

The feeling was completely different.

There was a cruel beauty.

Originally, in the Golden Age, forbidden zone emperors were invincible in the human realm, only to die within the river of time—yet they too would die.

And it had truly happened.

Originally, the true immortal blood war had long begun, and no one could stand apart from it.

The hearts of the forbidden zone emperors were filled with a complex, indescribable feeling.

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor, the Qingniu Ancient Emperor, and other forbidden zone emperors remained expressionless, gathered their aura, and floated silently in the starry sky, without killing intent, without rage, without shock—only calm.

This calm inexplicably made people's hearts prickle.

All forbidden zone emperors waited calmly, none leaving, none urging.

After a moment.

Splash—

Splash splash—

A youth in green robes returned from the river of time, his frame small, yet he gripped the corpse of a towering, star-like white bone nether phoenix, stepping upon the river's waters as he walked slowly into the mortal world.

The emperors narrowed their eyes, gazing coldly.

The impact of this scene was terrifying.

A human sword cultivator, returning like from a hunt, carried the corpse of an ancient forbidden zone emperor as if it were livestock, rather than a being renowned throughout the Boundless Starry Sky; all the past glory of the immortal emperor vanished completely.

"Oh?"

"What is this, gentlemen?"

Jiang Ding was slightly surprised, looking at the forbidden zone emperors all waiting for him.

At this moment, the Great Day Immortal-Mortal Sword Soul surged like an explosion, sensing a thick aura of danger.

These forbidden zone emperors were now in a highly unstable state; at any moment, they could desperately besiege a living being as a matter of course, and such a siege would certainly be efficient and fearless of life and death, for forbidden zone emperors could completely overcome human weaknesses.

Even among the human forbidden zone emperors, there appeared wavering.

The death and fall of the ancient forbidden zone emperor had too great an impact on these beings.

Many people's sense of security became extremely weak; the bloodthirsty combat instinct forged through countless life-and-death battles boiled

and surged in frenzy, yet outwardly appeared as extreme coldness and calm.

Now, the forbidden zone emperors harbored killing intent, icy and terrifying, to the point that even the existence of the Eight Characters Immortal Scripture would need to be overturned.

Extreme danger.

The forbidden zone emperors were all coldly indifferent, gazing upon heaven and earth.

Clang!

Yet, though the green-robed youth clearly sensed such terrifying killing intent, he paid it no heed, drawing his sword amidst the clanging sounds.

"You lot, are you deaf?"

"I'm asking you! Are you deaf? Ah?"

Jiang Ding looked at all the forbidden zone emperors and said calmly: "Putting on this display—who are you trying to scare? Do you really think I'll back down?"

"Gentlemen,"

"You need to understand one fact!"

"That is, if it weren't for seeing that you haven't yet unleashed your full potential, you would all be dead now—instead of staring at me with those ridiculous eyes."

"Bo Ming?"

"Utterly ridiculous!"

A feeling of disdain, wanton mockery, spread outward.

The forbidden zone emperors' gazes showed no change, remaining calm, their formation links growing tighter, and the killing intent in many forbidden zone emperors' hearts boiled ever more fiercely.

Yet in words, they gave no response.

"Your Excellency, Tai Shang Da Ri,"

"Please do not strike any forbidden zone emperor again, for this means an endless war begins immediately; if you do not die, this war will never end."

"Now, the time to rest only in death has not yet come."

"Please reconsider."

The Qingniu Guhuang spoke gently.

He was very calm, his emotions showing no fluctuation at all, like a naturally harmonized yin-yang, moderate being of Shen Zhou, merely stating a fact to Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang.

"What the Qingniu Daoist says is indeed correct."

"All you Daoists are outstanding figures of this era, your potential yet to unfold; to kill you would be a waste of heavenly treasures, and I, the sovereign, truly do not wish to do so."

Jiang Ding heard this and sighed: "Alas, there always arise beings who believe themselves to have grasped heavenly secrets and causal calculations, their deductive path surpassing others by a notch, utterly flawless, yet they dare to sabotage my Dao plan at this very moment of my weakness, obstructing the completion of the immortal formation."

"He considers his wisdom and stratagems to astonish the world—is that not laughable?"

"What do you fellow Daoists think?"

Upon saying this, the hearts of all the sovereigns in the forbidden zone trembled, clearly realizing something.

"Daoist, are you saying,"

"that the one who struck first this time was not the Undying Guhuang?"

Qingniu Guhuang raised his brow.

"I did not say that."

"The Undying Guhuang deserved his death; he died as he should."

Jiang Ding spoke without expression: "Merely, I hope that no being will again sabotage my immortal formation, for my patience is extremely limited."

"Even if this Daoist truly possesses astonishing skill in causal calculation, surpassing all the sovereigns by far, and had prepared many scapegoats in advance."

"Then please,"

"do not, at this moment, do anything to my immortal formation."

"Otherwise, next time, perhaps truly a blind cat will hit a dead rat."

"Right?"

Jiang Ding looked toward the Daoist Qingniu before him.

"Qingniu Daoist, I have heard that those who claim to be planners, calculators among beings often possess the most unremarkable identities; Daoist, do you think you look like one?"

"You appear rather ordinary, unnoticeable among the sovereigns of the forbidden zone."

Unknown planner?

Even the Guhuang of the Eight Characters Immortal Scripture was successfully deceived by them, finding not a trace of flaw?

A ripple stirred in the hearts of all the sovereigns of the forbidden zone.

Simultaneously, their hearts gave rise to a feeling of sympathy like a rabbit's death foxing grief for the Undying Guhuang.

The other party truly had ill fortune—at the very beginning of the Golden Great Age, they encountered an unprovoked disaster.

Truly, it is a grievous injustice.

For such an ancient forbidden zone sovereign to meet this end is truly pitiable and lamentable.
