Chapter 89: The Death of Four Quasi-Immortal Emperors, the Corpse Immortal Emperor of the Ultimate Land

In Qin Hao's eyes, the performance of Cang Di was like that of a child showing off his strength.

"Pilgrimage, ha!"

Qin Hao's indifferent voice echoed through this space.

It seemed to be mocking an ignorant child.

So it really is Cang Di?

Do the dark creatures of this world all love to pretend so much?

The Immortal King Anlan was like this, and this Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor, Cang Di, is the same.

To pretend, one must have the strength; without strength, that is just being a fool.

And whether it is the Immortal King Anlan or this King of Pretenders, Cang Di, both have turned themselves into fools.

Cang Di turned around, his cold, majestic eyes staring at Qin Hao.

A single glance was enough to make all spirits bow and the myriad Daos submit.

He looked down at Qin Hao, his cold voice ringing out.

"To meet an Emperor without bowing, your true name is lost, and your name is on the Reincarnation Stele. Take a step and kowtow once; in the path of rebirth, your sins will be halved, and your true spirit will be protected."

The grand voice carried a kind of rule, resonating with the heavens and earth, forcibly pressing Qin Hao to kneel on the ground.

His strength was overbearing and peerless; with just a word, he could change order, trigger rules, and send people into reincarnation.

It is a pity that his opponent is the Heavenly Emperor.

The strength of this Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor, Cang Di, was enough to suppress a world.

Even an Immortal King Giant was nothing more than an ant to be flicked away.

Yet, in front of the Heavenly Emperor, he was also nothing more than an ant that could be crushed with a flick of a finger.

Qin Hao reached out and grabbed toward Cang Di on the throne; Cang Di was directly captured and forced to kneel before him.

Only at this moment did Cang Di's true appearance manifest.

With graying hair and a withered body, half-human and half-ghost, where was the majestic, world-surveying appearance from just a moment ago?

Qin Hao spoke with disdain, "Falling into darkness, and you are even worthy of being revered as an Emperor!"

Qin Hao did not kill Cang Di directly, merely to lure the other few Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors out.

These three Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors, along with the Mie Shi Lao Ren behind them, were the greatest masterminds of this world.

The foreign races of the Foreign Realm were merely creatures grown from the pollution of the dark aura leaking out from this section of the Boundary Sea.

Captured by Qin Hao and forced to kneel before him, Cang Di felt extreme humiliation.

He was a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, a creature who had been invincible for eternity; only others had ever bowed to him.

Now, it was he who was kneeling before someone else.

This was an insult to an Emperor.

Cang Di struggled to stand up and said coldly, "What do you know? So what if I fell into darkness? An Emperor is supreme; I dwell in darkness, but as eras shift and time withers, I remain eternally."

Cang Di did not think he had done anything wrong; he had never regretted it.

Countless ages ago, he carried the hopes of his clansmen, advancing triumphantly all the way, never meeting a defeat, defeating all opponents.

He ascended to True Immortal, proved himself an Immortal King, and achieved eternal immortality.

Even an Immortal King Giant was no match for him.

Eventually, he created the Heavenly Court, established order, and protected the Ancient Myriad Clans.

His glory was recorded in history, and his radiance shone through the ages.

He created an unprecedented golden age; the Ancient Myriad Clans revered him together, and all living beings shouted his name.

But what use was that?

Life gradually approached its end, power gradually withered, and his body gradually decayed.

He was an invincible Emperor in heaven and on earth, yet he could not stop the passage of life.

The more powerful one is, the less they can accept the loss of power.

He traveled across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, stepped across the Si Hai Ba Huang, just to break through his realm, just to live out another era.

But it was useless, completely useless.

Breaking the King to become an Emperor is too difficult, far too difficult.

But fortunately, he was lucky; he met the Mie Shi Lao Ren.

Almost without thinking, he fell into the darkness without hesitation, wielding his former butcher's knife against his own subordinates and the comrades he had fought alongside.

And against the clansmen and relatives behind him.

As long as he could become an Emperor, the common people could be blood-sacrificed, and relatives could be slaughtered.

All living beings were merely stepping stones for him to become an Emperor.

Finally, he destroyed the Heavenly Court he had built with his own hands and fell into the darkness; he succeeded.

He became a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Everything was worth it.

He had never regretted it, nor would he ever regret it.

If given another choice, he would still fall into the darkness, just to become an Emperor.

This is the path of the Great Dao; if you do not advance, you retreat.

And the weak can only become the resources of the strong.

Cang Di's mental thoughts were dazed for a moment, his train of thought flashing by.

He looked at Qin Hao and said, "A newly born Immortal Emperor? Very well, let me see your strength. Having roamed ancient and modern times without defeat, thirsting for an opponent but finding none, you have appeared; you have appeared at this time, but in the end, you are just a sacrificial offering."

At this moment, Cang Di was still very confident, carrying an aura that looked down upon the universe.

He burned the power of his entire body, and a bone ruler appeared in his hand, wanting to fight Qin Hao.

Unfortunately, it was a phantom after all; he struggled for a moment, but surprisingly failed to struggle to his feet, remaining kneeling before Qin Hao.

Cang Di could not help but look at Qin Hao, and at this moment, a sense of gravity belatedly arose in his heart.

However, it did not matter; Cang Di still had confidence.

Even if he is a powerful Quasi-Immortal Emperor, so what?

In the Era of the Fall of Emperors, it was not as if no Quasi-Immortal Emperor had been ambitious enough to want to end the Darkness with the strength of one person.

But so what if they were?

Was the final result not that they were besieged by several Quasi-Immortal Emperors, and in the end, a dignified Quasi-Immortal Emperor died miserably?

Cang Di looked at Qin Hao and issued an ultimatum.

"I give you one last chance: fall into the Darkness with me, share endless life, keep the Heavens and Myriad Worlds as livestock, and I will spare your life."

Cang Di's words were very imposing; it would have been even better if he hadn't been saying them while kneeling on the ground.

If he could, Cang Di was still not willing to make an enemy of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Because they knew very well how troublesome a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was.

Of course, if Qin Hao was not sensible, then it would simply be a reenactment of the events of the Era of the Fall of Emperors, killing another Quasi-Immortal Emperor by siege.

Qin Hao slapped Cang Di directly, slamming him onto the ground.

Cang Di could no longer hold back and shouted sternly, "Everyone, why haven't you attacked yet?"

The other two Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors, Hong Di and Yu Di, also appeared.

These were the three Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors accumulated over long ages.

They were the greatest source of Dark Turmoil in this World.

Hong Di and Yu Di appeared and looked at Qin Hao with grave expressions.

Cang Di, Yu Di, and Hong Di, the three Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors, had been together for a long time and knew each other's strength very well.

It was precisely because of this that they knew the pressure Qin Hao was currently putting on them.

At this moment, Hong Di and Yu Di also did not really want to be direct enemies with Qin Hao.

The pressure the opponent gave them was too great; it would be best to be able to pull the opponent into the Darkness and make him a teammate.

Yu Di spoke, "I have supreme scriptures here that can allow one to glimpse the realm above the Immortal Emperor, as long as you coexist with the Darkness."

"We do not wish to be your enemy."

Hong Di spoke, "As long as you fall into the Darkness, we are friends."

Qin Hao looked at the three Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors indifferently and said, "So much nonsense."

Before Qin Hao had even finished speaking, Yu Di and Hong Di launched a fierce attack.

They knew that this newborn Immortal Emperor was not prepared to fall into the Darkness.

Since that was the case, he was a destined opponent, and the opponent had to die.

Cang Di, who was kneeling on the ground, also attacked Qin Hao's chest.

In the Era of the Fall of Emperors, the three great Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors had used this method to ambush and kill a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Now, it was merely a reenactment of everything.

Cang Di said coldly, "I gave you a chance, but you did not cherish it; then go die."

"Do you really think that by stepping into the realm of the Immortal Emperor, you can be invincible in the world?"

Yu Di also said coldly, "Immortal Emperor? It is not as if we haven't killed one before."

Hong Di said, half-threatening and half-coaxing, "Fall into the Darkness now, and you still have a glimmer of survival."

Up to this point, the three Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors still thought Qin Hao had only just stepped into the realm of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

They did not know what kind of powerful opponent they were actually facing.

The three Quasi-Immortal Emperors launched a supreme attack on the Heavenly Emperor from three directions simultaneously.

Their figures flickered in the Darkness, and their attacks were accompanied by the power of Destruction, as if they wanted to tear the entire world apart.

Qin Hao stood proudly, his body radiating endless divine brilliance, like the stars of the Heavens, illuminating all directions.

His gaze was like a torch, piercing through the void, neither sad nor happy.

"Too weak."

Qin Hao sighed softly, without any other movements.

But the entire world shook unexpectedly.

Dazzling light of the Great Dao radiated from his body, like the dawn of daybreak, illuminating this dark land.

At the same time, it was also dissolving the rules of the three Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors; the light continued to extend, like an invisible sword, pointing directly at the three Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors.

Cang Di, Yu Di, and Hong Di tried to resist, but it was of no use at all.

In the face of this powerful force, their resistance appeared so pale and weak.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three loud bangs sounded simultaneously, and the figures of the three Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors dissipated directly in the light.

Their bodies died and their Dao vanished, leaving no bones behind.

Only the aftermath of the three explosions remained, echoing between this heaven and earth.

Cang Di, Yu Di, and Hong Di, these three powerful Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors, dissipated in a single instant.

After Qin Hao wiped out the three Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors, he looked toward the void and said indifferently, "Are you not coming out yet?"

An old man in black appeared; he was the Mie Shi Lao Ren of this World.

Taking Destruction as his name, one can imagine his cruelty.

If the three Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors were the masterminds on the surface of this world, then Mie Shi Lao Ren was the ultimate mastermind.

It is precisely Mie Shi Lao Ren who, dragging the three Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors along, time and time again, blood-sacrificed the common people and slaughtered all living things, just to take that final step.

Mie Shi Lao Ren achieved immortality with his physical body, transformed his form into a Nine Nether Qiong, stood in the vast Boundary Sea, and was invincible under heaven.

His strength shook the past and dazzled the present, and he was known as the only one supreme beneath the Immortal Emperor.

He once stepped half a foot into the Immortal Emperor realm, but he encountered a great terror and had to pull that half-foot back.

Invincible Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors like Cang Di, Yu Di, and Hong Di were merely his underlings.

In the eyes of Mie Shi Lao Ren, these three invincible Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors were also just three chess pieces, three tools.

Mie Shi Lao Ren had been hiding in the void just now, watching Cang Di, Yu Di, and Hong Di make their move against Qin Hao.

He had originally intended for these three Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors to probe Qin Hao's strength, and then he would take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and kill Qin Hao.

Who would have thought that these three Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors would be so vulnerable.

Or rather, Qin Hao's strength was so formidable that he had no chance to make a move at all.

Mie Shi Lao Ren had no choice but to reveal himself; he looked at Qin Hao and sighed faintly, saying, "Has Your Excellency already attained the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit?"

Mie Shi Lao Ren once stood in the Immortal Emperor realm, but unfortunately, he failed in the end.

He naturally understood the power of an Immortal Emperor; only an Immortal Emperor could easily crush the three Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors.

Mie Shi Lao Ren looked at Qin Hao and said, "Fellow Daoist, I do not wish to be your enemy. You do your things, I do mine, and we shall not interfere with each other."

Qin Hao's gaze flickered, moving like flowing fire.

In his eyes, Mie Shi Lao Ren was entangled with countless Karma.

Thinking about it carefully, it is only natural; how many living beings has Mie Shi Lao Ren blood-sacrificed, and how many lives has he slaughtered?

Time and time again he has stirred up world-ending catastrophes, and how many people have died at his hands?

It is a pity that there is no such thing as Causality and retribution in this World.

In this World, the more brutal a person like Mie Shi Lao Ren is, the longer they live.

Of course, in the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, most Worlds are actually like this.

Causality is merely self-consolation for the kind, and retribution is merely the laughable naivety of the noble.

There has never been any Causality, nor will there be any retribution.

It is only in the Great Desolate World that the rules are perfect.

There is the Six Paths of Reincarnation, there is Causality and retribution, and there is merit and Qi Luck.

The good deeds you do will always transform into merit.

The evil deeds you do, even if you luckily escape them during your lifetime, will lead you to the Eighteen Levels of Hell after death.

Qin Hao did not answer Mie Shi Lao Ren; the moment he saw Mie Shi Lao Ren, he had already sentenced him to death.

"It matters not. If Heaven does not judge, I shall judge. Those with deep sins shall be executed."

Qin Hao watched as Mie Shi Lao Ren made his move.

How could Mie Shi Lao Ren not understand Qin Hao's meaning?

"Good! Good! Good! If you insist on being my enemy, then go to your death!"

Mie Shi Lao Ren said grimly, "You are very strong, but I am the first Emperor since the opening of heaven and earth."

Mie Shi Lao Ren considered himself the first Emperor since the opening of heaven and earth, though this was his mistaken perception.

However, his strength in this World today is indeed worthy of being called the number one person.

After all, he once stepped one foot into the Immortal Emperor realm, making him stronger than a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Mie Shi Lao Ren attacked in anger, and a powerful Nine Nether Qiong manifestation appeared behind him.

He is the ancestor of the Nine Nether Qiong clan.

The heaven and earth grew dim, brewing a terrifying black storm, and the Boundary Sea was annihilated.

With every breath, he exhaled boundless black light, carrying the aura of world-ending destruction, and suppressed Qin Hao.

In an instant, the great universe collapsed, and the ruined Worlds turned into fly ash.

Facing this terrifying attack from Mie Shi Lao Ren, Qin Hao wore an expression of compassion.

He pointed at Mie Shi Lao Ren from afar and said indifferently, "Red Lotus Karma Fire."

Boundless fire burned from within Mie Shi Lao Ren's body, surrounding him directly.

This is the Red Lotus Karma Fire, a boundless fire.

Those with deep sins will ultimately die under the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

The fuel for the Red Lotus Karma Fire comes from Karma.

If one possesses great merit, this Red Lotus Karma Fire has almost no effect on them.

Conversely, if one is entangled in Karma, the Red Lotus Karma Fire will transform into the most terrifying flame, burning everything and consuming everything.

And Mie Shi Lao Ren has stirred up world-ending catastrophes several times; the Karma on his body is countless and unquenchable.

The Red Lotus Karma Fire ignited the Karma on Mie Shi Lao Ren's body, also reflecting his sinful life.

Before Mie Shi Lao Ren's eyes appeared one after another the wronged souls who had died tragically, demanding his life.

Yet Mie Shi Lao Ren did not take them to heart.

"Hahaha, a group of ants, a group of provisions I selected; now that they appear before me, it is nothing more than being killed by me once again."

Even with the Karma Fire burning his body, Mie Shi Lao Ren's fierce power remained monstrous.

He said with unwillingness, "What a pity, I have not yet truly become an Emperor!"

Mie Shi Lao Ren exhausted his divine abilities, wanting to extinguish the fire, but it had no effect.

He possessed invincible divine abilities and the power to end the world.

But all his divine abilities, Dao methods, and Immortal arts ultimately transformed into nourishment, making the Karma Fire even more ferocious.

Amidst endless unwillingness, Mie Shi Lao Ren was burned directly into ashes by the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

He was unwilling to be defeated in such a manner.

His divine abilities and strength had yet to be unleashed, yet he had already perished and his Dao dissipated.

He was even more unwilling; time and again he had incited world-ending catastrophes, all just to approach the Immortal Emperor realm and step into it.

Yet now, he had fallen here.

Qin Hao executed Mie Shi Lao Ren, then arrived at the source emitting the Darkness.

This was the true ultimate place, where the aura of Darkness surged and black lightning was more terrifying than ordinary lightning.

It seemed as if even the Great Dao was about to be corrupted by the aura of Darkness.

The dark matter was so thick it could not be dispersed, and within it lay the dark scriptures of the Great Dao, which seemed to connect to the secret of attaining the Immortal Emperor realm.

The golden light in Qin Hao's hand moved toward this Dark Source to purify it.

Even this dark and eerie substance gradually dissipated under the golden light, revealing its true essence.

The brilliant radiance dissolved the dark matter directly; this was a rift in the World.

This World rift was connecting to a more powerful world, the world of God Above.

Within that world, there was the Shi Wai Gao Yuan and the Guiji Yi Shi, eternal and undying.

Now, within this rift, it was precisely a corpse blocking it.

This was Shi Hai Xian Di.

Mie Shi Lao Ren claimed to be the first person to open up the heavens and earth, but in reality, the true first Immortal Emperor to open up the heavens and earth was this Shi Hai Xian Di.

This Shi Hai Xian Di was the first Immortal Emperor since the heavens and earth were opened in God Above, but when he stepped into the Immortal Emperor realm, he was ambushed by the source of the eerie.

The primordial black blood polluted him, and eventually, he became the source of the eerie within this World.

In order to prevent his own corruption from affecting this World, he took a series of measures and even sought to use his own body to block the source of the eerie from God Above, but unfortunately, he failed in the end.

Shi Hai Xian Di blocked the rift, and with every breath he took, dark matter was released.

Unlike the aura of Darkness in other places, what was on his body was primordial black blood.

Qin Hao pointed a finger toward Shi Hai Xian Di, and the holy light purified that primordial black blood.

However, it was not like before; the speed of dissolution had decreased significantly.

The powers of Darkness and light contended within the body of Shi Hai Xian Di, and at this moment, his will was also gradually recovering.

"Traversing through the ages, stepping through endless years, finally becoming an Immortal Emperor."

"Is God Above a more powerful world? That is the aura of Darkness!"

He had once sung songs of triumph all the way, achieving the position of Immortal Emperor with stunning talent.

Yet, he was ambushed by the source of the eerie from God Above, and the first Immortal Emperor who opened up the heavens and earth was polluted.

At the final moment, he sealed himself with his own hands, wanting to block the rift of the World.

He had wanted to protect the World, yet he became the Dark Source of the World.
