Chapter 2652: Newly Ascended Eight-Character Immortal Scripture: The Ancient Emperors Set Forth

In the mortal world, who still remembers that the Devouring Ancient Emperor of the Golden Path-Consuming Ant clan also ascended to the rank of ancient emperor in the forbidden zone before the Golden Great Age?

No one remembers; people have long forgotten this ancient emperor who was the first to die in the forbidden zone during the Golden Great Age.

In fact, the Devouring Ancient Emperor did not die.

Amid the layered dreams veiling the six paths of reincarnation, the Primeval Ancient Emperor has always been growing, always progressing, accumulating his own immortal Dao foundation.

In this world constructed by the Great Dream Sword Realm, the Devouring Ancient Emperor successfully slew the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang with his trump card, devouring the latter's End-Time Great Dao; aside from this, everything in the Wu Jin Kong Kong differs little from reality, with radiant figures such as the Huangyan Dragon Emperor, Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor, and Taiyang Ancient Emperor all present.

The Devouring Ancient Emperor schemed and fought among these figures, endured many dangers, and gained many opportunities.

Now, finally, the time has come for the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture breakthrough.

"Hahaha..."

"Since ancient times, among living beings who have walked the End-Time Great Dao to such a height as this emperor, there has perhaps been only one?"

Beneath the Wu Jin Kong Kong, the Devouring Ancient Emperor raised his head and let out a long cry; around him, countless beams of light—like a golden path-consuming ant swarm—emitted a war song like a tsunami.

Having come this far, he now stands atop the pinnacle of the Wu Jin Kong Kong!

The powerful ones of the Golden Path-Consuming Ant clan in this dream do not know that, at the highest point of this heaven and earth, a pair of deep pupils silently observes this place, occasionally adjusting the beings, environment, and heavenly Dao rules of this realm with extreme patience, their pupils devoid of any emotion—in the outside world.

"The Golden Path-Consuming Ant Dao soldiers may now march forth."

"The possibility of backlash is extremely small."

Jiang Ding Zi muttered.

In the present world, within the armory of the Tai Shang Da Ri Xian Chao, there exists a golden heavenly pillar piercing the nine heavens, which occasionally flashes with light—this is the Golden Path-Consuming Ant breathing, inhaling and exhaling the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, interacting with the Great Dao and its rules.

This entire clan, together with their emperor, lives their whole lives within the dream, influenced by it, while their physical forms in the present world fight for the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang.

Not limited to military affairs.

In immortal Dao research, the Golden Path-Consuming Ant civilization's constant high-intensity scientific research is part of the Tai Shang Da Ri Xian Dao system; the fruits of their civilizational wisdom are silently drawn upon by a certain existence, and after the Primeval Ancient Emperor ascends the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture, this ability surges dramatically; in production and construction, countless Golden Path-Consuming Ants toil endlessly in the mines, specialized workshops, and reaction vats of the immortal dynasty, from birth to death without a moment's rest...

In every aspect, exploited to the utmost, generation after generation enslaved.

In the past, during the Devouring Immortal Dynasty, the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang once told the Devouring Ancient Emperor: if humanity in this era were to be exterminated, the Golden Path-Consuming Ant clan, together with you, would likewise be exterminated.

Now, the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang has done so.

"This is the first Eight-Character Immortal Scripture forbidden-zone combat power." "The second is the Undying Ancient Emperor puppet, likewise barely counting as one."

"The third is the Immortal Sect Extinction Law Fleet."

"Add to that the Tai Shang Da Ri of the Tian Yuan Slaughter Demon Sword Formation, and perhaps, my current limit is to face eleven forbidden-zone ancient emperors of the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture in my old nest without defeat..."

Jiang Ding whispered.

The moment of life and death for the Tai Shang Da Ri domain has come again, wind and rain tossing.

The Wu Jin Kong Kong fell silent for a time, then broke again, accompanied by the intense Great Dao undulations of the Zi Wei Ancient Realm; all powerful beings turned their gaze toward this direction, toward those fourteen utterly terrifying Dao celestial phenomena, so that even if the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture forbidden-zone ancient emperors at this moment sweat in their palms, they cannot remain calm.

Fourteen!

The thirteen newly ascended Eight-Character Immortal Scripture forbidden-zone ancient emperors and the present emperor's Dao phenomena converge, merge, do not reject, but rather give rise to many intentions of joining forces, with many terrifying slaughter phenomena born.

What are these newly ascended Eight-Character Emperors, possessing nothing, doing?

Where is their target?

All powerful beings of the Wu Jin Kong Kong focus their minds, hold their breath, and stare fixedly at the direction of the Zi Wei Ancient Realm, awaiting the decision of these newly ascended forbidden-zone ancient emperors.

All the courting, all the promises—every faction has done so. Now, the decisions of these newly ascended Eight-Character Immortal Scripture ancient emperors will profoundly affect the situation of the Wu Jin Kong Kong, shaping an era belonging to them, a long-overdue era.

At a certain moment!

The gaze of all powerful beings in the Wu Jin Kong Kong tightened.

At this moment, many were furious, many fearful, many breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh?"

"Is the target not this emperor?"

Jiang Ding was quite surprised, somewhat stunned.

Since the opening of the Golden Great Age, after the Primeval Ancient Emperor was sealed, basically every large-scale war he has been the target of encirclement; he has long grown accustomed to it, after all, the Tai Shang Da Ri domain is indeed the most prosperous place in the Wu Jin Kong Kong, so it is only natural that these penniless Eight-Character Immortal Scripture forbidden-zone ancient emperors would point their blades at him.

But the reality now unfolding is actually not so.

The target of these newly ascended Eight-Character Immortal Scripture forbidden-zone ancient emperors is, astonishingly, the Huangyan Dragon Domain!

No, saying it this way is not accurate enough; a mere Huangyan Domain could never satisfy the appetites of fourteen forbidden-zone ancient emperors; their target is the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor and the other nine forbidden-zone ancient emperors!

Fourteen newly ascended Eight-Character Immortal Scripture forbidden-zone ancient emperors encircle and slaughter the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor and the others!...

Huangyan Dragon Domain.

The Hong Xian Gu Huang, Tianhe Great Emperor, Huanggu Great Emperor, and fourteen other forbidden-zone ancient emperors descend upon the Huangyan Dragon Domain, suddenly launching a surprise attack, in an extremely short time penetrating the core of the Huangyan Dragon Domain, instantly shattering its immortal formations, suppressing countless dragon sons and grandsons, and trapping the Huangyan Dragon Emperor at the center.

"Why choose me?"

"I ask myself, I have always been kind to others, never offended any of you Dao friends, have I?"

The Huangyan Dragon Emperor is like a moss-covered celestial rock, or like an immense earth Dao condensed into being, calmly gazing at the many newly ascended Eight-Character Immortal Scripture forbidden-zone ancient emperors, calmly asking.

"This old thing has long since fled."

"What remains here is merely a clone."

The Huanggu Great Emperor was extremely excited, forcibly restraining himself as he said: "We, united, are strong, yet lack suddenness—unlike the Tai Shang Da Ri, we cannot succeed in assassination, only able to drive back the Huangyan old thing; if he does not actively engage, slaying him is difficult beyond difficulty."

No one understood him.

The many forbidden-zone ancient emperors scanned all directions, finally nodded slightly, accepting the Huanggu Great Emperor's judgment.

"Since the Huangyan Dao friend is no more, then let us not trouble these true dragon immortal clan Dao friends—excess is not good, the opposite would be unbecoming." "See them off at the border."

Hong Xian Gu Huang chuckled lightly, and said.

"Good!"

The many forbidden-zone ancient emperors had no objections.

When unable to exterminate completely, each ancient emperor is a gentleman of graceful bearing—this is the most basic political cultivation.

Why not go to the Supreme Great Sun Realm?

Its prosperity is dozens of times greater than yours, and moreover, only the Supreme Great Sun exists there—why don't you fellow Daoists take it for yourselves?

The Desolate Rock Dragon Emperor's avatar, seeing itself ignored, did not grow angry and asked again.

Hahaha!

Desolate Rock old fellow, what else could it be for?

The Ancient Great Emperor laughed heartily: "Nothing more than you nine having been defeated; we took the easy path first, secured our gains, and you brothers, accustomed to poverty, would naturally eat what's easiest first—fill your bellies before speaking further."

"You say, isn't that the reasoning?" "..."

The Desolate Rock Dragon Emperor fell silent, having nothing to say.
