Chapter 2788

The starry sky of the Seventh Golden Great Age was torn apart by time from the past.

A rift appeared, with countless figures flickering within it.

The Boundless Starry Sky trembled, the heavens and earth's stellar rivers were torn, the Three Thousand Dao roared, accompanied by a terrifying and heavy pressure; a being of incomparable terror and majesty, resembling a humanoid universe, appeared as a vanguard in the Seventh Golden Great Age!

This person is unlike any Golden Great Age ruler that Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang has ever encountered.

He led the charge like a common soldier rushing to the front lines, his aura lacking much solemnity or cold severity, his discipline strict, yet more like an eternally passionate and naive youth, laughing with his friends as he surged forward, with little hierarchy between them.

"Hahaha!"

"Ruler of the Seventh Golden Great Age! I, the ruler of the next Golden Great Age, the endpoint of the primordial ancient scrolls' Dao-attainment method—why not come and exchange a few words?"

The Heavenly Emperor laughed heartily.

Wave after wave of golden, terrifying sound ripples spread in all directions, vibrating and seeping into every corner of the Boundless Starry Sky, entering the ears of every living being, yet harming none—merely conveying, it seemed, that this was not the style of bloodthirsty slaughter, treating all life as ants.

As this Heavenly Emperor led the charge into the Seventh Golden Great Age, facing the greatest danger, behind him one powerful figure after another emerged, each outstanding and solemn in demeanor; from their bearing, they appeared to surpass even the Purple Polaris Great Emperor of the Central Heaven and others.

These peerless heavenly talents of the Sixth Golden Great Age were bloodthirsty and arrogant, their killing intent filling their bodies, looking down upon the world; their talents and abilities were extraordinary, their combat power unmatched, having destroyed one Golden Great Age after another, and now they coldly observed everything within the Seventh Golden Great Age.

"Very well."

"Heavenly Emperor, Your Majesty, you have come from afar—your hardship is appreciated."

A voice, warm and moist like jade, came from not far away.

A figure in green robes appeared before the Heavenly Emperor at some unknown time—fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a blue Daoist robe, with a black sheath long sword at his waist.

In an instant, including the Heavenly Emperor, many peerless heavenly talents of the Sixth Golden Great Age had their pupils contract.

When?

At what time did he appear here?!

The peerless heavenly talents of the Sixth Golden Great Age felt a chill in their hearts, an uncontrollable fear surging forth.

Know this: now, during the distant conquest and slaughter in the time dimension, the myriad heavenly talents of the Sixth Golden Great Age have always maintained their battle formation, acting as one; this formation has besieged and trapped countless Golden Great Age rulers and Heavenly Emperor-level beings, yet has never been completely destroyed.

Therefore, these heavenly talents of the Sixth Golden Great Age are extremely lawless and extremely arrogant.

Yet now, they actually know nothing of a being right before their eyes!

Not only that, these peerless heavenly talents also understand the Heavenly Emperor just as well, knowing he too cannot detect the ruler of the Seventh Golden Great Age; their caution and killing intent have greatly increased.

"Dao friend, this concealment immortal art..."

"Is truly stunning to the utmost!"

:

The Heavenly Emperor was stunned for a moment, then praised: "I, your humble self, actually failed to perceive it—truly profound and unfathomable. No wonder, in later generations, one is hailed as the myriad-ages ancestral master, the Dao master of the Zi Xiao Palace; in many Dao traditions, there are numerous praises and reverences, leaving one in awe."

"By the way, Tai Shang Da Ri Dao friend, the title 'Your Majesty' is merely what the brothers use, knowing my vanity and love of grandeur, so they casually address me thus—calling me Dao friend is already the highest honor."

This ruler of the Sixth Golden Great Age spoke with a bitter smile.

He gazed at the green-clad youth before him, his heart filled with genuine astonishment.

For, in the battles to conquer future Golden Great Ages, he discovered that in the posterity of the Seventh Golden Great Age, nearly every era has transmitted the name of this Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, as a teacher of myriad ages; countless Dao traditions trace their roots back to the Seventh Golden Great Age, to the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang lineage, its peach and plum filling the world, having crossed the long river of time.

"Heavenly Emperor Dao friend, you overpraise me."

"Whoever operates a palace for forty billion years in their own home can achieve such."

Jiang Ding Zi lost himself in a smile.

The meeting of the two Golden Great Age rulers showed no swords drawn or bows bent; instead, they resembled two friends chatting idly, discussing Dao, their respective ladders to immortality, methods of becoming immortals, and even exchanged their immortal scriptures in a courteous manner, their friendship reaching its peak.

Then, a faint killing intent blossomed.

In this Boundless Starry Sky, this ancient river of time, only one being is permitted to become immortal, and only the supreme immortal method can succeed.

This has long been destined.

"Heavenly Emperor Dao friend,"

"You have come from afar; I, your humble lord, am overjoyed. To show hospitality, I shall bestow upon you a sword."

Jiang Ding placed his hand on the sword hilt, smiling as he spoke.

Boom—

Buzz buzz buzz...

Layer upon layer of ripples burst forth, lines of array patterns appeared between heaven and earth, one star after another was linked, the Three Thousand Dao were woven as finely as silk threads, interlaced and crossed, and in an instant formed a terrifying future dusk universe descending upon the mortal realm.

The End-Time Ban severs all Dao, causing the mortal realm's spirituality to be cut off, the Dao to cease.

This is,

In the immortal Dao civilization where immortal Dao productivity has reached its ultimate development, the supreme Tai Shang Da Ri Demon-Slaying Sword Array, operated for four billion years by the perfect being beneath immortals!

Crack!

Boom—

"What is this?!!"
