Chapter 309: Luan Gu and Immortal Ancient, Seven Supremes
"Is that you, Ancestor? Is it truly you, awakened and returned?"
Figures from the Nine Netherworlds Ancient Imperial Family were weeping and wailing; among them, those of the Great Emperor's direct bloodline felt a faint calling within their blood.
Thus, they whispered and inquired at this moment.
Yet, that figure standing before the Immortal Domain did not answer, only staring at the deepest part of that world.
In his hands, endless light shone, imprinting one eternal, indestructible character after another.
"The remains of an ancient True Immortal; the physical body of that era does not seem to have been the most essential—no, the physical body was also powerful to an extreme degree, but the Primordial Spirit is the true mystery.
"Could it be that the key to a Great Emperor becoming an Immortal lies in the Immortal Platform and the Primordial Spirit?"
This ancient Great Emperor whispered at the entrance of the Immortal Path.
He even used supreme power to imprint the tombstone, the General-Summoning Platform, and the finger bone.
In his eyes, the reason that tombstone could revive and gain sentience lay primarily in that mass of blood, in the indestructible battle soul within the blood.
And that finger bone was the same, with an eternal, indestructible Divine Sense within it, reviving and condensing.
"Similar to Amitabha Great Emperor, a wisp of Divine Sense living in the hearts of billions of sentient beings, yet it does not rely on sentient beings, but on his own ability. Once the Primordial Spirit reaches this stage, it is never extinguished; even if shattered into billions of fragments by others, it will re-aggregate and return again..."
After gazing intently for a while, not only did a look of shock appear on his face, but even Shi Huang was shaken.
Both supreme figures felt the subtle differences and peculiarities within it.
That was a cultivation method vastly different from this world, and it should have originated from even more ancient times.
"It just doesn't seem to match the description given by Changsheng Tianzun. Shouldn't the Immortal Bone and Luan Gu Era cultivation methods mentioned by Changsheng Tianzun possess more divinity and immortality, emphasizing being transcendent and detached from worldly things?
"Why does this type of method seem to carry more of a demonic nature?"
The Human Race Great Emperor whispered, falling into doubt, and at this moment, figures in the Forbidden Zone were reviving one after another.
Including the two of them, three more ancient and powerful figures subsequently rushed into this place.
All of them stood at the entrance, confronting the terrifying and ancient inscriptions and the finger bone.
It was both a battle and an observation.
An ancient figure who walked out of the God Ruins gazed intently for a while before whispering: "Legend has it that before the Luan Gu Era, an even more distant era was filled with the aura of Immortals and the Dao.
"But the Luan Gu Era had already been beaten to the point of collapse; all the methods passed down from the Immortal Ancient period were plundered by enemies. If they wanted to change, they had to create new methods under the most terrifying adversity, which is why they would create such demonic methods..."
In the midst of the terrifying battle, they all felt something was wrong while confronting that figure.
The demonic nature was too heavy; whether it was the blood or the finger bone, the demonic nature was incomparably fierce.
It was as if it were a figure who had slaughtered billions of sentient beings and then returned to life.
Even those who had once incited the Dark Turmoil felt a stir in their hearts upon sensing that terrifying demonic nature; this was more than they had ever killed.
And there was also a kind of madness, a demonic nature suppressed to the point of insanity.
Destroying heaven, destroying earth, destroying oneself.
That feeling was one of complete disregard for heaven and earth, wanting to destroy everything.
The most special, the most peculiar feeling.
It was not just them who were stirred; in Xianfen, the God Ruins, Lunhui Zhidi... ancient and powerful figures in several regions were reviving, because that piece of heaven and earth was truly being constantly compressed, constantly shrinking.
The current environment of heaven and earth was very special, even making one feel a bit eerie.
The few ancient Supreme figures standing outside the Small World indeed felt their lifespans being extended.
The Great Emperor from the Human Race had already unhesitatingly undergone Extreme Sublimation at this moment, and heaven and earth were shaking.
And within the Small World, a roar from Changsheng Tianzun could be vaguely heard.
Peerlessly brilliant sword light vibrated between heaven and earth, and a moment later, a section of the sword light snapped.
Inside, the most terrifying and unparalleled figure was clashing with Changsheng Tianzun; many figures felt shocked, even experiencing a sense of terror.
An unparalleled figure who had lived from the Mythological Era to the present seemed to be bleeding internally; he had successfully broken into the Immortal Domain, but it seemed not so successful.
Light shone across the heavens and the earth, terrifying and peerless.
And Zhang Xuan finally made no further moves at this moment.
Instead, with a movement of his body, he entered his Small World directly.
The Zhu Xian Four Swords hung in the air, the power of the array was terrifying and peerless, suppressing everything.
Changsheng Tianzun stood at the center of the Zhu Xian Four Swords; at this moment, the Longevity Sword in his hand had been broken.
No one coming here could change such a situation: the Great Accomplishment Saint Body who had become an Emperor, the contemporary Great Emperor Gai Jiuyou, Wanlong Emperor, and Qilin Ancient Emperor.
The four ancient Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors each controlled one Killing Sword, the Array Diagram shone, and the fact that Changsheng Tianzun could struggle for so long during this period was enough to shake the ages and make his name known throughout the world.
However, at this moment, Changsheng Tianzun was also about to meet his end.
Any struggle was void and meaningless.
The most terrifying power flowed across the heavens and the earth.
And Changsheng Tianzun roared at the sky at this moment: "So you had already seized control of the Immortal Path, damn it! The right time, the right place, the right people—I should have thought of it sooner.
"Only a contemporary Great Emperor has the privilege to merge with the heavens and the myriad Daos without spending too much energy and time; every move and action merges with the myriad Daos of the heavens, and the entire Universe is helping.
"And only a contemporary Great Emperor can easily break into the Immortal Path. This was actually a trap set by you..."
Changsheng Tianzun roared, yet he was unwilling to give up.
At such a moment, facing four figures of the same level, he decisively chose to concede.
"I can join forces with you to suppress this piece of heaven and earth.
"The secret of the entire sect ascending to Immortality is no secret; I can even help you restore the glory of the Mythological Era, and I also know the secret of the Emperor..."
The Great Accomplishment Saint Body and Gai Jiuyou remained unmoved, Wanlong Emperor was lost in thought, and Qilin Ancient Emperor's expression was cold.
And after Zhang Xuan appeared in this world, he just took one look at Changsheng Tianzun, and his heart could not help but stir.
During this time of being beaten, by relying on this Small World, Zhang Xuan had successfully reproduced the Dao Fruit imprints related to Changsheng Tianzun.
After all, this was his Small World; the many figures staying in his Small World exerted their utmost strength, and every move they made would be analyzed and imprinted by him.
At this very moment, looking at Changsheng Tianzun, he only whispered, then raised his fist to strike.
"Time is running out; there are many more Supremes to follow, let's just finish this directly!"
Before the words had even faded, the most fierce and overbearing fist had already smashed down; with one punch, even Changsheng Tianzun changed color.
"How is this possible?"
With this punch, the entire Small World was echoing with Zhang Xuan; this was a scene like a Great Emperor perfectly merging with the Heavenly Heart Imprint.
It was just utilized more thoroughly and connected more tightly.
Within the entire Small World, all power and all Heaven and Earth Essence were echoing.
"Having two contemporary Great Emperors was already inconceivable, how can there be a third? Who are you?"
Zhang Xuan did not answer; that most terrifying punch landed, everything was quelled, and the vast, mighty power swept through every corner.
In the original spot, only bright red blood and snow-white Bone were flickering.
Even the Great Accomplishment Saint Body was slightly moved; his mortal enemy from back then, the master of Xianfen whom he had always wanted to suppress, Changsheng Tianzun, had never succeeded.
Yet now, Zhang Xuan had quelled all disputes with a single punch.
"You are stronger than before; why can you still improve when you have reached this stage? Clearly, you have not yet become an Emperor?"
Gai Jiuyou's expression became somewhat peculiar, even somewhat puzzled; such an attack from Zhang Xuan was truly too strong and too terrifying.
Zhang Xuan just chuckled.
"No time to consider so much; this time was unexpectedly successful, I must close the door quickly, otherwise, if too many Dark Supremes appear, I fear we will also be in a difficult spot."
By this moment, more than six Ancient Emperors and Supremes had already awakened; if this continued to drag on, heaven knows how many there would be.
"Damn it, the number of Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors accumulated from ancient times to the present is truly too many, terrifyingly so."
Even Zhang Xuan felt a sense of numbness; at first, they wouldn't move when he tried to lure them, but after he put in a bit more effort to lure them, he suddenly lured so many, which was a bit beyond his expectations.
When he turned to walk out, the blood and Bone remaining on the ground were trembling slightly, re-aggregating.
Changsheng Tianzun, with a pale face, gathered himself together not far away, displaying the supreme talent of the creator of the Zhe Secret.
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, feeling slightly surprised, but at this time, he couldn't care about so much.
The entrance to the Small World in the outside world shrank further, which really made some Forbidden Zones anxious; another three Immortal Sources exploded, and nine Ancient Emperors and Supremes had already awakened.
"Suppress him first, and deal with him slowly later!"
After Changsheng Tianzun took his punch head-on, his state was already very poor, and after entering the Small World, Zhang Xuan had already actively isolated Changsheng Tianzun from the Immortal Substance within the Small World.
He could not absorb much Immortal Substance, and even the Heaven and Earth Essence was cut off, not provided to him.
If it were a Great Emperor merging with the myriad Daos of the heavens, this could not be done, but as the master of the Small World, doing this was not difficult; as his thoughts turned, the entire world echoed Zhang Xuan's thoughts.
Then, layer upon layer of imprints and shackles covered down, suppressing Changsheng Tianzun.
Changsheng Tianzun still wanted to resist, but Zhang Xuan smilingly placed him next to the head of the God King of God Kings, and immediately, Changsheng Tianzun became quiet.
Even under such sealing conditions, the Small World only needed to provide a very small portion of power to protect Changsheng Tianzun's Sendai and primordial spirit.
The God King of God Kings at the center of this Small World would roar from time to time, and that terrifying power would tear Changsheng Tianzun to pieces.
Changsheng Tianzun could only preserve his primordial spirit and Sendai under the protection of the Small World, and then struggle to undergo Nirvana.
"Since he is not dead now, then keep him for now."
"We are about to face great difficulties."
Zhang Xuan looked up; outside, the Guang'an Zhizhu, the master of Undying Mountain Shi Huang, the master of Lunhui Zhidi Lunhui Zhi Zhu, an unknown Human Race Great Emperor...
The number of consecutively awakened figures had already reached a full seven.
Looking at those seven figures, the people in the Small World all felt great pressure.
These seven figures did not even include the faith body of Amitabha Great Emperor.
Nothing so terrifying had ever happened from ancient times to the present, but the overall situation was still okay; at this moment, the instant Zhang Xuan's thoughts were triggered, the portal of the Small World shrank even more.
Seven unprecedented, peerless figures finally exerted force simultaneously, blasting open the Stone Tablet and finger bones at the entrance.
Then, the seven of them rushed in simultaneously; it was in this fleeting moment that the portal of the Small World sealed with lightning speed, not leaking a single breath.
Only the vaguely remaining Immortal Substance proved that the Small World had once appeared and had some connection with this world.
The seven figures who rushed in were still unafraid; instead, expressions of surprise and shock appeared on their faces.
They looked at the graveyards one after another before them, looking at the undulating mountain ranges stretching for ten thousand zhang; that was a dead true dragon.
Shi Huang was staring at that ancient stone tablet inscribed with the Six Paths of Reincarnation, staring at that shield-like substance, with a look of uncertainty on his face.
It was also at this moment that Amitabha Great Emperor pressed his palms together.
Silently and soundlessly, all seven were hindered at once; they did not leave and were fixed in place.
Before they could react, a Killing Array silently enveloped them.
Four dark red Killing Swords hung in the void, and each Killing Sword was controlled by a peerless figure.
The auras of four Ancient Emperors bloomed without any concealment.
Qilin Ancient Emperor and Wanlong Emperor stood firmly on this side at this moment, without other thoughts.
They were doing this for the sake of becoming an Immortal, not to incite Dark Turmoil.
In terms of their path, they were not exactly the same as the figures in the Forbidden Zones.
The reason they endured temporarily was only because they also had to stay in the Forbidden Zones; only the Forbidden Zones could prevent them, who had Slash One's Own Blade, from dying.
And now, the secret to becoming an Immortal had opened before them.
Many things and many lines of thought did not need to be like they were in the past.
They could just act directly.
Amitabha Great Emperor stood to one side; at this moment, his whole body was glowing, and he had fallen into a mysterious realm of advancement.
The terrifying power shook the heavens and the earth.
He also stood firmly by Zhang Xuan's side.
Zhang Xuan looked at the seven figures already within the Zhu Xian Four Swords and smiled slightly.
He had been baiting the hook for so long, casting a massive net, and spending such a long time and so much energy, that he had finally caught a whole nest of big fish at once.
Seven plump and flavorful big fish; one was already in the net, and while the other seven had not been completely captured, they were already right before his eyes, and he could already smell the scent of the harvest.
"Welcome, everyone, to visit my Shi Jie!"
Standing outside the Zhu Xian Four Swords, Zhang Xuan fixed his gaze first upon the most unruly and defiant Shi Huang.
"Today, I think many things will reach an end!"
