Chapter 2785

Jiang Ding stared at the long river of time through the ages, gazing for a long time.

The chaos disturbed in the time dimension was lessening, and one by one, the once brilliantly radiant, time-dimension-transcending Golden Age Lords of Time disappeared; now only a few scattered stars remained, twinkling in the long river of time, among them the Ninth Golden Age Lord of Time.

His advantage on the home ground of the time dimension was too great!

He alone had eliminated at least eight Golden Age Lords, his efficiency far surpassing that of Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, and the plundered essence of the immortal Dao must be likewise, giving him a tremendous advantage in this regard—he was a tide-rider who ran rampant on the long river of time.

Now this Lord of Time encountered a powerful Golden Age Lord, and they were locked in fierce battle.

The two Golden Age Lords fought in a brutal slaughter.

The Sixteenth Golden Age Lord was the strongest Golden Age Lord in the future, forcing the Ninth Golden Age Lord into a bitter struggle, unable to secure victory for a long time, no longer able to destroy enemies as easily as before; the future mortal realm was not without mighty lords, nor did it allow the Lord of Time to shine alone.

However, Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang believed the ultimate victor would be the Ninth Golden Age Lord.

If the sole standard for becoming an immortal were who plundered more Golden Age immortal Dao essence, then the Ninth Golden Age Lord would surely defeat everyone and achieve immortality.

"The Golden Age essence plundered is merely reference material; what one can comprehend depends on the cultivator themselves and the immortal Dao system they have built..."

"Has your time-ascension immortal method now been perfected?"

Jiang Ding Zi muttered to himself.

Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang slightly closed his eyes, continuing to refine the transcendent-level immortal materials left behind after the Jade Emperor's Dao transformation, enhancing the essence of the Tai Shang Immortal Sword.

……

Time flowed slowly.

Unbeknownst, over three hundred thousand years passed.

In the Second Golden Age, everything had now completely changed; the former desolate, primitive scenes had vanished, and within each ancient realm, transmission arrays from the future immortal Dao had been constructed, along with crude super-high-dimensional highways, through which fleets from the Seventh Golden Age shuttled, transporting something, seeking something, bustling about.

And at the center of the Ziwei Ancient Realm, the final battle had already ended.

The cosmic phantom of the Dharma-ending era was summoned by the Seventh Golden Age fleet, and the Dharma-ending Dao rules, like pitch-black chains, pierced through the two colossal giants.

"Roar!"

"Roar roar roar..."

"How could this be! Ant-like humans, ant-like acquired pigs and dogs, how could they be so strong? This is impossible..."

A towering, heaven-piercing, earth-penetrating giant roared angrily.

His skin was rough and uneven like mountain rock, black as the depths of the universe, with nine stellar light points on his chest flashing and shining, emitting an immortal, terrifying aura, nearly coexisting with the Heavenly Dao, with a lifespan of two billion years, immortal and indestructible.

This was the primordial innate demon god, the strongest of the Second Golden Age, the Nine-Star Ancient God!

:

At this moment, this Nine-Star Ancient God, nearly as heavy as the universe, was pierced through the chest, limbs, and skull by pitch-black Dharma-ending chains, like a cornered beast furiously roaring and struggling desperately, straining to pull the chains taut and straight, even having many chains snap directly under brute force, granting him a brief moment to breathe.

But alas, this was merely the last struggle of a beast trapped in a snare, breaking only a few spikes, and not affecting the overall situation in the slightest.

Under the indifferent gazes of the Forbidden Zone Emperors Taiyang Ancient Emperor, Jiuye Sword Emperor, and Bu Si Ancient Emperor, the strongest of the ancient god clan, the Nine-Star Ancient God, saw his struggling strength grow weaker and smaller, until even his final self-destruct method was forcibly suppressed.

For this day, how many years had the Forbidden Zone Emperors of the Seventh Golden Age prepared?

Three hundred thousand years!

A full three hundred thousand years!

From the very day they descended into the Second Golden Age, the Forbidden Zone Emperors knew that the so-called Golden Age Lord, the Nine-Star Ancient Emperor, could never be their match, yet they still lay in wait, consuming precious time, laying layer upon layer of heavenly nets and earthly traps, not merely to slay the Nine-Star Ancient God.

But also to capture the Golden Age Lord, to dissect the Golden Age Lord, to refine the Golden Age Lord!

Now, at last, they were about to succeed.

Not only the Nine-Star Ancient Emperor of the Second Golden Age, but also the Lord of the Myriad Heavens and Stars of the Third Golden Age had likewise fallen into the net.

"In the later ages, are the acquired beings destined to be honored?"

The Lord of the Myriad Heavens and Stars of the Third Golden Age, his vast eyes like the starry sky holding blood and tears, cried out in a mournful howl.

The Third Golden Age was ruled by the will-god born from the myriad heavens and stars; this Lord of the Myriad Heavens and Stars seemed like an infinite, vast sentient being, his body not substantive but composed of countless twinkling stars, with many stars forming star systems and galaxies within his body, resembling a cosmic supreme treasure forged from the myriad heavens and stars.

His strength was clearly superior to that of the Nine-Star Ancient God by a margin, having crossed over from the Third Golden Age to battle the Nine-Star Ancient God for many years without defeat.

But here, such strength was utterly useless!

The terrifying fleet from the future suddenly descended upon the battlefield where the two Golden Age Lords were locked in brutal combat, pitch-black Dharma-ending chains hanging down, laying a heavenly net and earthly trap, instantly capturing their numerous subordinate star gods and ancient gods, as if catching a herd of pigs and dogs.

Afterwards, those Dharma-ending chains further clung to the two Golden Age Lords like a bone-deep ulcer.

No matter what escape arts they employed—whether becoming illusory or merging into rules, the Dao, or space—it was all useless; they were forcibly dragged out, layer upon layer burned, imprisoned, as casually as going out hunting, showing absolutely no reverence for the Golden Age Lords.

It was exactly like their ancestors, those ant-like savages hunting great beasts!

These human ants not only wanted to kill the great Golden Age Lords, but also to capture them, just like capturing pigs and dogs!

"I, will never suffer humiliation!"

The Lord of the Myriad Heavens and Stars of the Third Golden Age howled.

In the next instant, this majestic Lord of the Stars, his vast body suddenly expanded, as if filling the entire boundless starry sky, then the next moment contracted sharply, condensing into a black point, from which a terrifying to the extreme destructive wave burst outward.

The self-destructive explosion of a Golden Age Lord!

This Lord of the Stars' strength and vision indeed surpassed the Nine-Star Ancient God by far; even after the brutal battle, he still had much strength left, and at the final moment broke through layer upon layer of restrictions, seeking to self-destruct on the spot, so that all cultivators of the Seventh Golden Age would die as his burial companions!

:

"Hahaha!"

"Human ants, human slaves! All die for me!"

"If you want to kill me, let your masters come! To look down on me, you ants will have to pay the price!"

The Lord of the Myriad Heavens and Stars of the Third Golden Age laughed maniacally and ferociously, blooming one last time in brilliance in this mortal realm, unwilling to die at the hands of a swarm of ants.
