~18 min read 3,486 words

Although the Supreme One severed himself with a single blade, his blood still contains the terrifying Imperial Dao laws—so dreadful that even a Quasi-Emperor who touches it would be annihilated, a forbidden power.

Entities: Supreme (a title meaning "Supreme", a generic term, not a specific name; according to glossary rules, exclude generic forms of address, not ranks. Imperial Dao is a concept, not a name. Quasi-Emperor is a cultivation realm, a generic term; we translate it as Quasi-Emperor, so not include as a glossary entry. Forbidden Power is generic.)

But now, Yang Zhu bathes in the Supreme's blood, allowing the Imperial Dao laws to assault his soul and body.

Entities: Yang Zhu (Yang Zhu) - given in glossary? Actually glossary only gave Jiang Yi Fei → Jiang Yi Fei.

If his constitution were the greatest of all ages, anyone else in his place would be instantly transformed into the Dao! "Buzz buzz!"

No new names.

Under the star field where Yang Zhu's true form resides, the Great Dao rumbles; he draws in and expels the vital essence of the universe from all directions, completely absorbing the terrifying life essence.

Entities: star field (star field) generic. universe (universe) generic.

The Imperial Dao laws flutter, shattering the universe's void; countless divine chains of order strike forth, radiating an aura that could destroy heaven and earth.

No new.

Even as a Chaos Sacred Fetus, Yang Zhu feels the strain; his spirit and treasure body are pushed to the limit as he resists with all his strength.

Entities: Chaos Sacred Fetus (Chaos Sacred Fetus) – term, meaning Chaos Sacred Fetus, not a name.

Because if anything goes wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable!

No.

"Good, good, good—you actually treat us as stepping stones?!"

No.

The Stone Emperor flew into a rage; they had intended to launch the Dark Age, harvest the life of the universe, and thereby heal the rift in the Immortal Platform.

Entities: Stone Emperor – a title? It's a specific entity: Stone Emperor. Likely a name. Should we include? It's a title but used as a name for a character. According to the rules, official titles and ranks (e. g., Colonel, Commandant, Inspector) are translated by meaning unless they are a person's name. Here Stone Emperor is probably a title used as a name for a character. Since it's a title used as a name, we should translate its meaning. The rule says official titles and ranks are translated by meaning, so we translate Stone Emperor as "Stone Emperor", not keep the original form. Therefore we do not add it to the glossary as a name; we translate it. However, if it's a proper noun like a title used as a name, we still translate it. So we will not list it in the glossary. Similarly, Dark Age means Dark Age (generic), and Immortal Platform means Immortal Platform (generic).

Who would have thought that not only was he held back by Yang Zhu alone, but he actually became the opponent's stepping stone for a breakthrough? As a former Dao achiever and the supreme of the Forbidden Zone, to them this is a disgrace, a great disgrace!

Entities: Dao achiever (one who achieved Dao) generic. Forbidden Zone Supreme (Forbidden Zone Supreme) generic.

Throughout the ages, even the living ancient emperors and ancient great emperors might not dare to do this!

Entities: ancient emperor (ancient emperor) generic. ancient great emperor (ancient great emperor) generic.

"If you're not afraid of death, come over here!"

No.

The Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord spoke, his expression calm, standing before Yang Zhu and looking down on the few people in the killing formation.

Entities: Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord (Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord) – a title; translate meaning: Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord. Not a name.

"Brother Yang, do you need our assistance?"

Entities: Brother Yang (Brother Yang) – refers to Yang Zhu; we already have Yang Zhu. Not new.

Ji Zi spoke; although he suffered heavy injuries, his body covered in blood, his fighting spirit did not wane.

Entities: Ji Zi (Ji Zi) – a name. Need to add to glossary: Ji Zi → Ji Zi.

The Void lineage is not inferior to humanity; his father and brothers died in battle, so how could he fear life and death? If the Void Great Emperor had sealed this youngest descendant for posterity, leaving a foundation for the Ji Clan and humanity to face unknown calamities.

Entities: Void lineage (Void lineage) generic. Void Great Emperor (Void Great Emperor) – title; translate: Void Great Emperor. Ji Clan (Ji Clan) – clan name; translate: Ji Clan. human race (human race) generic.

Perhaps, at that time he followed his father and brothers into battle until death.

No new.

"First tend to your wounds; those few supremes who self‑inflicted a single blade are nothing I can't handle."

No new.

Yang Zhu flicked his embroidered robe; several drops of immortal essence wrapped in immortal medicine essence flew out, each entering the Void, Eternal Universe, Ji Zi, the God King, and Jiang Yi Fei's bodies.

Entities: Immortal Medicine (Immortal Medicine) generic. immortal essence (immortal essence) generic. Void (Void) generic. Eternal Universe (Eternal Universe) – maybe a place name? Could be translated as Eternal Universe. Since it's not a person name, we translate meaning: Eternal Universe. So not a glossary entry.

Entities: God King (God King) – generic title. Jiang Yi Fei (Jiang Yi Fei) – we have glossary entry: Jiang Yi Fei.

In an instant, the fragrant aroma of the Immortal Medicine wafted, detectable throughout the universe; even a single breath drawn from endless distance made one feel their lifespan increase.

No new.

This is truly a peerless immortal medicine! "Immortal Medicine Essence, and even Supreme Immortal Essence?!"

Entities: immortal medicine (immortal medicine) generic. Immortal Medicine Essence (Immortal Medicine Essence) generic. Supreme Immortal Essence (Supreme Immortal Essence) generic.

The moment Jiang Yi Fei swallowed it, his near‑shattered body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Entities: Jiang Yi Fei (Jiang Yi Fei) – already listed.

Within that mass of essence, immortal energy surged, colors flowed, and strands of divine substance emerged, capable of turning decay into marvels, reaching the utmost wonder.

No new.

"Even if you reach the pinnacle of elevation today, we will surely kill you!"

No.

The Lord of the Divine Ruins roared, his black hair flying wildly, choking so hard he spat blood.

Entities: Lord of the Divine Ruins (Lord of the Divine Ruins) – title; translate: Lord of the Divine Ruins. Not a name.

Frustrating, utterly frustrating! Yang Zhu never regarded them as worthy from start to finish; that contempt was not a deliberate act but a natural expression.

No new.

That feeling is worse than killing them…

No.

"Boom!"

No.

Several other supremes also flew into a rage, various terrifying laws lashing out, madly bombarding the killing formation in an attempt to break its pattern.

No new.

"Hum!"

No.

Who would have expected, a shocking scene appeared—only to see Yang Zhu's forehead blazing, as if some terrifying existence had awakened.

No new.

In the next instant, two unparalleled bodies appeared, mighty and extraordinary, awe‑inspiring in all directions; even from afar, gazing upon them felt like a pressure that could collapse the Nine Heavens.

Entities: Unparalleled (Unparalleled) generic. Nine Heavens (Nine Heavens) generic.

"Two Great Accomplished Holy Body corpses!"

Entities: Great Accomplished Holy Body (Great Accomplished Holy Body) – a cultivation term; translate: Great Accomplished Holy Body. Not a name.

The whole world trembled; everyone was stunned into disbelief, for this is an existence that could rival the ancient great emperors—yet Yang Zhu actually possessed two Great Accomplished Holy Body corpses! His forehead glittered, and two identical figures of him slowly stepped out, instantly merging with the Great Accomplished Holy Body.

Entities: ancient great emperor (ancient great emperor) generic.

"Boom!"

No.

In an instant, the two Great Accomplished Holy Bodies erupted at the formation's core, golden blood‑energy boiling, piercing the Nine Heavens, and the Holy Body's pressure swept across all heavens and myriad worlds.

Entities: all heavens and myriad worlds (all heavens and myriad worlds) generic.

"Boom!"

No.

Divine light shot upward from within Yang Zhu's body; a golden war spear instantly revived to its peak, flying straight toward one of the Great Accomplished Holy Bodies.

Entities: Golden War Spear (Golden War Spear) generic.

Not bad—this person is none other than Yang Zhu's grandfather!

Entities: grandfather (grandfather) generic.

"Rumble!"

No.

Perhaps sensing its master's aura, the golden war spear hummed, divine light flooding the universe and shattering billions of miles of star rivers.

No new.

It trembled with excitement and lamented, for after many years it had returned to its master's hand—a feeling only one who has experienced it can understand! "Hum!"

No.

The Western Emperor flew over, landing in the hand of another Great Accomplished Holy Body, which he took up.

Entities: Western Emperor (Western Emperor) – title; translate: Western Emperor. Not a name.

The Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord and the two Quasi‑Great Accomplished Holy Bodies each held a Supreme Emperor Weapon, standing shoulder to shoulder, stretched across the universe.

Entities: Quasi‑Great Accomplished Holy Body (Quasi‑Great Accomplished Holy Body) – term; translate: Quasi‑Great Accomplished Holy Body. Supreme Emperor Weapon (Supreme Emperor Weapon) generic.

Like an impassable heavenly moat, its pressure spanned all heavens and myriad ages, the azure depths lingering; whoever beheld it felt their heart tremble with fear.

Entities: heavenly moat (heavenly moat) generic. all heavens and myriad ages (all heavens and myriad ages) generic. azure depths (azure depths) generic.

「……」

No.

Those few supremes had faces as grim as could be; even a single Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord made them deeply wary, and now there are two more Great Accomplished Holy Bodies…

No new.

"Waa waa waa, we're saved!"

No.

"Great Imperial Son, we knew you could sweep aside an era and suppress all calamities!"

Entities: Imperial Son (Imperial Son) – generic title.

"My clan wishes to chant your name, the Chaos Sacred Fetus, for generations to come, engraving it upon the Reincarnation Heavenly Stele…"

Entities: Chaos Sacred Fetus (Chaos Sacred Fetus) generic. Reincarnation Heavenly Stele (Reincarnation Heavenly Stele) generic.

All the races of the universe witnessed this scene, bowing in reverence, their hearts overwhelmed with emotion, none failing to shed tears as they chanted Yang Zhu's name.

Entities: all races of the universe (all races of the universe) generic.

Yang Zhu's methods are too heaven‑defying; now he can completely suppress the present situation, saving countless billions of living beings from misery! "Anyone who dares step out of the killing formation shall be slain on the spot!"

No new.

As the sound faded, a stone tome flew forth, ancient and weathered, its aura mighty; its appearance was accompanied by an overwhelming emperor's pressure, as if a great emperor had stepped out.

Entities: stone book (stone book) generic. Great Emperor (Great Emperor) generic.

"It is it!"

No.

The supremes stared, their bodies trembling; they naturally understood the origin of this stone tome—it is none other than the Wu Shi Jing!

Entities: Beginningless Scripture (Beginningless Scripture) – scripture name; translate meaning: Beginningless Scripture. Not a name.

"The inheritance of the Beginningless Great Emperor, said to lie across Purple Mountain, is a supreme immortal scripture!"

Entities: Beginningless Great Emperor (Beginningless Great Emperor) – title; translate: Beginningless Great Emperor. Purple Mountain (Purple Mountain) – place name; translate: Purple Mountain. Supreme Immortal Scripture (Supreme Immortal Scripture) generic.

People exclaimed, the Beginningless Great Emperor's inheritance is astonishing; his scriptures are splendid, and only after the Imperial Son demonstrated them did we finally get to see the original text of the Wu Shi Jing.

Entities: Imperial Son (Imperial Son) generic.

At this moment, no one could remain calm, hearts filled with reverence, daring not to harbor the slightest malicious thought.

No.

"Clatter!"

No.

The heavy stone book turned, its sound shattering the heavens; every page bore the primordial immortal laws, emanating an immensely terrifying power of the Dao's transformation!

「Boom! 」

One page of the scripture flew out a dense array of runes, striking into the killing formation; instantly a supreme being was flung several thousand zhang away, blood spraying.

「Let you all see, what is truly the Beginningless Great Emperor's inheritance! 」

In the distance, the Black Emperor shed tears of old, gazing at Shi Shuxing, perhaps again thinking of the Beginningless Great Emperor, overcome with emotion, he mustered his courage and pointed at the supreme deity, shouting!

「No rush, later I'll split you all one by one. 」

Yang Zhu's eyes were like cold lightning; he no longer continued to unleash the Beginningless Immortal Principles, but instead continued to sever the Imperial Dao Principles.

The Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord and his companions also did not advance, silently guarding outside the Beginningless Killing Formation and the Slay Immortal Sword Formation, watching calmly.

「Boom—! 」

Soon after, a heart‑palpitating surge flowed between heaven and earth, capable of destroying heaven and earth; above the nine heavens, countless order‑divine principles appeared densely.

This time there was no resplendent celestial palace, nor myriad‑zhang thunder.

Only rays of light appeared, endlessly brilliant; a primordial and vicissitudinous aura of ages rushed over, stirring heart and mind.

Amid the astonished expressions of all realms, nine figures slowly stepped out of the light gate. Clad in ancient attire from the mythic era, they exuded an inexplicable solemnity and vicissitude; merely standing there, they emitted an astonishing, heart‑palpating pressure.

「The Nine Heavenly Lords of the mythic era……」

An old elder sucked in a breath of cold air; among the nine figures, two were familiar to them—none other than the Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord and the Longevity Heavenly Lord!

Therefore, judging by their attire, it was not hard to reach this astonishing conclusion!

「This seems to be a kind of imprint, reproducing the Dao traces of the Nine Heavenly Lords as they were; today it has actually reappeared in the mortal world. 」

「Good heavens, these are the Nine Heavenly Lords of the same era; could it be that the Imperial Son's tribulation requires defeating them one by one……」

The universe was in an uproar, unbelievable.

Yang Zhu rarely undergoes tribulation before the world; this is the first time, so very few know how his tribulation arts work.

Gazing at the nine ancient figures, Yang Zhu's eyes blazed like torches, with no trace of fear; instead his fighting spirit surged, filling the universe.

「Boom! 」

Without much ado, the Nine Heavenly Lords moved; the aura of ages swirled around one of them, and with a step he vanished from the spot.

At this moment, it seemed as if time itself had ceased to flow; he appeared to merge into the temporal realm, moving at utmost speed, arriving instantly beside Yang Zhu.

This is the Move Character Secret, displayed to nearly perfection; it can reverse time and space and ages, allowing one to go anywhere in time, the pinnacle of the speed domain.

Indeed, this is none other than the creator of the Move Character Secret—the Carefree Heavenly Lord!

At this moment, the Carefree Heavenly Lord bore peerless bearing, his aura piercing mountains and rivers, exuding an invincible, sole‑supreme demeanor.

「Ah, ultimately it is no longer as it once was……」

In the Sea of Reincarnation, a long sigh drifted out, barely audible, three parts helpless, four parts desolate, and three parts numb.

The sound faded, and the Sea of Reincarnation returned to silence.

「Boom! 」

The Carefree Heavenly Lord closed in on Yang Zhu, raising his hand to unleash a terrifying, boundless force of time—supremely powerful, like a celestial river pouring down.

「Bang! 」

Yang Zhu, composed and confident, lifted his palm wrapped in the essence of the Chaos Sacred Fetus, pressing down upon that force of ages.

Without the slightest retreat, he countered with the most overbearing and forceful means!

「Boom! 」

The two terrifying forces collided, causing the void of eternity to collapse; the aura of ages ran riot, as if disturbing the stability of the cosmic order, making the whole universe tremble on the brink of ruin.

「Ah! Too terrifying……」

At this moment, a heart‑palpating aura spread, sweeping every corner of the universe; those strong ones who drew near felt their primordial spirits wracked with sharp pain, on the verge of bursting.

Panic‑stricken, they hastily retreated hundreds of thousands of li, fearing even the slightest ripple.

「Bang! 」

In this star field, yin and yang inverted, various divine lights danced, terrifying and boundless, blazing so fiercely that one could hardly keep eyes open, unable to gaze directly.

Amid the turmoil of the divine principles, many star fields of the universe were shattered, billions of stars reduced to ash, no longer existing.

「Pfft……」

After the light faded, a figure flew backward, half an arm stained with blood, bloodstains covering it, blood spraying.

「It's the Carefree Heavenly Lord! 」

The crowd exclaimed, the blood‑stained figure wearing an ancient Daoist robe, even his sleeves torn to shreds! 「Good heavens, the Imperial Son is unharmed! 」

Soon Yang Zhu appeared in the crowd's sight, his body radiating divine light, almost as if merging with the Dao, an immortal aura flowing within.

Around him floated ribbon‑like bands of brilliant light, suffused with the aura of ages; indeed, he was holding his own against the Carefree Heavenly Lord by means of temporal power.

Moreover, he actually succeeded! In just a single exchange, he dealt the opponent a hidden loss.

「Hum……」

Yang Zhu moved; his speed reached the pinnacle, at this moment even time ceased to flow, as if he spanned the river of ages to arrive, striking straight at the opponent.

He opened his mouth and spat out a stretch of celestial river, pressing down upon the ancient firmament, like an endless divine waterfall hanging upside down, carrying supreme divine might, pressing down upon the Carefree Heavenly Lord!

「Clang! 」

The Carefree Heavenly Lord's expression remained cold; as he moved, the power of the Great Dao slipped from his fingertips, and he seized a large swath of runes into his palm, striking back with a backhand.

Once again came an intensely violent impact; the universe seemed to erupt in a great explosion, trembling on the brink of collapse, sun and moon plunged, celestial rivers fell, endless star fields perished! As one of the Nine Heavenly Lords, the Carefree Heavenly Lord's strength is beyond measure—even an ordinary ancient emperor would have to regard him with three parts of awe, so fearsome are his methods.

Yet now he faces the Imperial Son and the Chaos Sacred Fetus; even as a Nine Heavenly Lord, he is no match.

「Crack crack crack……」

It was a horrifying sight: under Yang Zhu's suppression, the Carefree Heavenly Lord's offensive was driven back to its most primordial state, being torn apart bit by bit!

I cannot tell whether it is an illusion, but at this moment the Carefree Heavenly Lord's eyes held only disbelief……

「Pfft! 」

Finally, Carefree Heavenly Sovereign was swept by the Star River, instantly crystal-clear blood droplets splashed, and he flew sideways for thousands of li.

However, his body had not yet stopped, a crystal-clear palm emerged from the River of Time and slapped toward his chest.

「Buzz! 」

Carefree Heavenly Sovereign, in the field of speed, had reached the pinnacle; in an instant he broke free of all shackles, left this domain, and shifted sideways for hundreds of thousands of li.

However, at the moment he appeared, a Chaos Palm Seal manifested just right, falling upon him without the slightest deviation.

Puff..

Large mouthfuls of fresh blood spurted out, Carefree Heavenly Sovereign flew sideways, his whole body covered in blood, his physique about to burst.

「Carefree Heavenly Sovereign's trajectory has been deduced by him. 」.

In the distance, a sickly old man appeared, a gleam flashing in his eyes, and he couldn't help but exclaim in wonder.

Gai Jiuyou had arrived; he originally intended to fight to the death to block the Dark Age, but Yang Zhu's appearance let him rest easy, so he closely watched from the side.

「Excellent technique.. 」

Yang Zhu's eyes were evolving, as if at the place where the universe began, chaos murky, yet he smiled and raised his hand to suppress the void ahead.

「Puff! 」

In the next moment, blood blossoms suddenly appeared, a figure emerged, his palm smashing it to pieces, bones creaking, and over a dozen bones shattered.

This person was none other than Carefree Heavenly Sovereign!

Meanwhile, the Carefree Heavenly Sovereign still flying sideways in the distance gradually turned illusory and then slowly vanished.

This was not an incarnation, but Carefree Heavenly Sovereign was too terrifying; having just been severely wounded moments ago, he broke free from the River of Time's bonds the next instant and closed in on Yang Zhu.

In other words, that backward-flying Carefree Heavenly Sovereign just now was his past self, while his present self had already silently arrived near Yang Zhu.

If Yang Zhu had been even a moment later, at such close range suffering a blow of the River of Time, the consequences would be unimaginable!
