Chapter 312: The Glory Beyond the Mythological Era

The other three Ancient Emperors and Supremes invincible in the world were not without action, but they were all blocked by Zhang Xuan with a backhand; that was the Myriad Transformations Sacred Art passed down from the Ruthless Great Emperor.

The Myriad Transformations Sacred Art is claimed to be able to resolve all attacks, but resolving attacks from Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors of that level is unheard of.

After all, the three supreme figures all used ultimate techniques from the Forbidden Chapter; normally, there would be no way to resolve them at all.

But Zhang Xuan treated it so calmly, every punch and kick carrying infinite magic power, carrying countless secret arts.

The Great Accomplishment Saint Body watched from the side, somewhat dazed, and even couldn't help but whisper: "This posture, only the Ruthless Great Emperor could display it, yet he is able to operate it so composedly... Could it be that in terms of talent and aptitude, he is already no less than Ruthless?"

From ancient times to the present, regarding who is stronger, there have been countless debates between Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors; after all, these Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors have never truly clashed.

But if one were to discuss talent and aptitude, as to who is number one throughout history, basically all Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors, without dispute, call the Ruthless Great Emperor number one.

The Ruthless Great Emperor has always held the title of number one in talent and aptitude.

Because from a mere mortal unable to cultivate, she alone opened up a path and method of cultivation, then walked to the very peak of the Human World.

In terms of humble origins and the difficulty of cultivation, the Ruthless Great Emperor might be the most difficult among the many Great Emperors throughout history.

Yet the legends left behind by the Ruthless Great Emperor also shook eternity; the chapters she opened up and her forbidden ultimate techniques shocked everyone.

Alone, she resisted the nine secret arts passed down by the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables to deal with the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables' strongest Forbidden Chapter...

Alone, she leveled a Forbidden Zone gathered by Holy Spirits, letting a figure who had become an Emperor as a Fire Spirit die under her sword...

Alone, she left behind multiple Great Emperor-level scriptures: Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, Indestructible Heavenly Art, and there are even subsequent rumors that the Southern Ridge Heavenly Emperor is also Ruthless...

The Forbidden Chapters are too many to imagine, and the legends concerning herself are also unimaginable; Ruthless is too legendary and too profound, making one truly not know how to comment.

Regarding talent and aptitude, the Ruthless Great Emperor is truly a mountain pressing down on everyone's heart.

And now, for the Great Accomplishment Saint Body to compare Zhang Xuan to the Ruthless Great Emperor is already a matter sufficient to shake eternity.

Yet Gai Jiuyou, Wanlong Emperor, Qilin Ancient Emperor, and others on the side watched, and they could not say a word.

They even felt that such a comment was still fair.

The more they understood Zhang Xuan, the more shocked they became.

Never has anyone been as legendary as Zhang Xuan.

A body that has not yet attained the Dao, facing multiple Supremes head-on and winning the battle—this can be called invincible in the world.

While they were shocked, Zhang Xuan had already swung his fist once more, and then blood rain fell.

Shi Huang, who was already heavily injured, was blasted apart in this round of collisions; his Holy Spirit body was revealed, and then he was coldly swallowed by Zhang Xuan.

The most powerful Origin, and even his Dao Fruit, were swallowed; at this moment, Zhang Xuan's body was glowing, and his primordial spirit was also glowing.

Even though he was doing the most terrifying thing in history—forcefully swallowing a Supreme—the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and Gai Jiuyou both felt a sense of relief; they did not feel this scene was terrifying at all, but rather felt it was an incomparably sacred scene.

Qilin Ancient Emperor only frowned slightly but did not say much, while Wanlong Emperor felt his hands and feet go cold; if he had not made a wise choice before, he basically would not have been able to escape this fate.

Bathing in the blood of an Ancient Emperor once again, Zhang Xuan had to stop on his own.

Then, in the incomparably astonished gazes of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and Gai Jiuyou, Zhang Xuan's primordial spirit emitted immeasurable light, and he took the initiative to seal a large portion of his physical body and himself.

After finishing this step, Zhang Xuan even turned back and gave a shy smile.

"I haven't truly polished to perfection here, but just now I was almost unable to suppress it and nearly became an Emperor directly; now I have to seal myself, otherwise I'm afraid I'll shatter both of your Heavenly Heart Imprints."

These words were very calm, and hearing them made the bodies of Qilin Ancient Emperor and Wanlong Emperor shake wildly.

There has never been such an arrogant figure who, in the presence of two contemporary Great Emperors, still claimed he could shatter the Heavenly Heart Imprints of two contemporary Great Emperors.

Even a Chaos Body would not dare to be this arrogant, but Zhang Xuan said these words with such extreme calmness.

They even had a feeling that it was a matter of course.

There was even a misconception.

Having already become strong to this extent, he is actually still not a Great Emperor? He is actually still one who has not attained the Dao?

Then to what extent would he be formidable after attaining the Dao?

No one could answer directly.

Zhang Xuan did not intend to listen to flattery either; instead, the surviving Lunhui Zhi Zhu and Shenxu Zhi Zhu no longer had their previous arrogance at this moment and directly took the initiative to say: "Fellow Daoist's achievements reach the level of Creation; we are willing to recreate the glory of the Mythological Era with you."

"We will firmly follow the footsteps of Fellow Daoist and jointly build a Heavenly Court for this post-Desolate Ancient Era..."

"Pfft!"

Zhang Xuan still gave a light laugh, while taking out the Dragon Pattern Black Gold gifted to him by the Amitabha Great Emperor and fusing it into the Shenheng Purple Gold Pagoda he had been refining.

At the same time, he swung a fist, smashing Lunhui Zhi Zhu into a pulp of flesh.

"I do indeed want to construct an era of unprecedented grandeur, but I am not a garbage dump that takes everything."

In the understated words, Lunhui Zhi Zhu's purest Dao Fruit was absorbed, and a portion of his Origin also fused into Zhang Xuan's body, but more of it fused into this Small World.

And in such a situation, this Small World even dropped down one substantive chain after another, binding Zhang Xuan, including his physical body and primordial spirit.

His realm and scope had already exceeded the limits of his current state.

In fact, it far exceeded it; if he did not carry out powerful self-suppression, he would be like the Amitabha Great Emperor, forcefully rejected by the world, or end up in another situation and become a Great Emperor directly.

Neither situation was what Zhang Xuan wanted, so he let this world actively bind him.

Only a figure like him could do this; after all, he is in some sense the master of this Small World.

In the blink of an eye, only one of the four Supremes remained.

Everyone present felt a sense of satisfaction in their hearts, and then watched as Zhang Xuan casually beat the last Supreme to death.

The vast Origin once again fused into this world; vaguely, they all felt that this world had become more solid, and the Immortal Substance had become increasingly dense.

And after Zhang Xuan finished all this, he turned his head and said to the other three Great Emperors and Supremes sealed within the Immortal Execution Sword formation: "The bad guests have been dealt with; next, it is time to discuss follow-up matters with the guests who came with gifts."

The expressions of the three Great Emperors and Supremes were indescribable; if they still had some kind of pride in their hearts before, after Zhang Xuan casually slaughtered the four Ancient Emperors and Supremes, they could no longer treat Zhang Xuan as a figure on the same level as them.

Zhang Xuan had already walked to another realm and level.

"Of course!"

The three looked at each other and nodded, simultaneously feeling fortunate that they had not fallen while in the Forbidden Zone and had not become the source of the Dark Turmoil.

If they had truly done so, those ground into slag today might have included the three of them as well.

Do not think that seven invincible Ancient Emperors and Supreme beings can suppress the world.

In eras past, perhaps they could, but today, right here, they most certainly cannot.

To say nothing else, Zhang Xuan's current posture alone is enough to crush everything.

Without saying much, he directly crushed four Supreme beings to death—oh, it was five.

Changsheng Tianzun also died in this process just now, leaving behind little ripple.

With such a posture and such wild, unbridled methods, who in heaven or on earth can compare to him?

"Now that such matters are settled, let us consider what comes next. I am very interested in the remaining Six Forbidden Zones in the Eastern Wasteland. I wonder which Forbidden Zone you all hail from? I would like to visit the Forbidden Zones and leave behind some traces!"

In just a single action, the Forbidden Zones have already lost ten Ancient Emperors and Supreme beings, and the balance of power between enemy and self has undergone a major transformation.

And the actions to follow will be even more peculiar and terrifying.

Zhang Xuan is already preparing for his next move.

……

Beidou is silent, and many figures have fallen into a peculiar stillness.

The Huanggu Jinqu remains in a state of being cracked open; it has not truly closed yet.

The Immortal Path, which countless people have yearned for over a million or even several million years, opened just like that, and then closed so abruptly, leaving everyone greatly stimulated.

"Missed it, we missed the greatest opportunity of all time just like that!"

Some elderly and frail figures stand outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, wailing and crying bitterly.

They were the first to arrive and the least afraid of death, because they had already reached the end of their lives; even if they stayed, they would die in a few days anyway.

Therefore, they were the first to rush to the periphery of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, wanting to go in and explore, but they couldn't get in at all; they only swallowed a few mouthfuls of Immortal Qi on the Immortal Path.

The gains they originally obtained were also enough to shake the ages; after all, with the help of various life-extending substances, they managed to extend their lifespans by a hundred years.

It can be said that they have another hundred years of glory to live; for any person, this is a very astonishing achievement.

But now, under these circumstances, they have the urge to die. People do not fear having little, they fear the appearance of a stark contrast.

Do not worry about scarcity, worry about inequality.

They managed to extend their lifespans by a hundred years and swallowed the first mouthful of Immortal Qi to flow out from the Immortal Domain in all of eternity; that is indeed a legend that can be recorded in history books.

But before them, Qilin Ancient Emperor died while charging the Immortal Path.

Yet another, Amitabha Great Emperor, achieved the greatest miracle in all of eternity, ascending with his entire sect before their eyes, even reaching a higher level and realm, and truly becoming an Immortal by stepping onto the Immortal Path in front of everyone.

This is enough to shake the ages, making everyone beat their chests and stomp their feet, wishing they were also followers of Amitabha Great Emperor, wishing they could have ascended with Amitabha Great Emperor.

"Truly became an Immortal, a miracle of all time!"

"Open it again, open it again! We missed it, we just missed it like that!"

This group of decrepit, elderly figures beat their chests and stomped their feet outside the periphery of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, tears and snot streaming down their faces.

It was truly sadness to the extreme.

Some even fainted on the spot under this stimulation; even if one is a Saint who has transcended into holiness, one cannot withstand such a violent blow.

And besides them, the remaining Six Forbidden Zones in the Eastern Wasteland are also in silence, a silence that is even somewhat eerie.

Inside, there are also people at this moment beating their chests and stomping their feet, in pain beyond measure.

"It is true, it is true, it is truly possible to become an Immortal. Amitabha Great Emperor actually succeeded in walking that path. We missed it, we just missed it like that."

In fact, at the very last moment, when Amitabha Great Emperor displayed his true divine might, a great many people had already been moved to rush out and attempt to become Immortals.

But the Immortal Path closed too quickly, too rapidly.

It left them with no time to react.

"Did they become Immortals? Everyone stepped into that path, and there is no movement!"

There are also Ancient Emperors and Supreme beings whispering, wanting to further confirm the information and situation of those figures.

"There is no way to judge, no one can understand. All calculations in that area have been severed; all deductions lead to nothing."

Who knows how many Ancient Emperors and Supreme beings are sighing at the greatest opportunity of all time, which opened before them and was accessible to them, yet they hesitated and doubted, resulting in missing this greatest opportunity of all time.

"Forced deduction only makes one's heart race; nothing can be perceived, one can only know that the area is mysterious and unfathomable."

Some ancient figures sigh.

But at such a moment, the most formidable figures also had thoughts, and in the most silent and quiet moment, they suddenly said.

"Hope has not been completely severed. Do you feel it? The aura of the Immortal Path is still approaching this world, still constantly drawing near."

As soon as these words were spoken, the many Ancient Emperors and Supreme beings in the Forbidden Zones were stunned once more.

Then they sensed carefully and discovered that the data they had previously deduced still contained no errors.

The time and location for the opening of the Immortal Path, which had stretched from a million years ago to the present, remained certain—approximately two hundred years from now.

And the location is exactly as expected, still in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

"Could it be that we haven't missed it? Is there still a chance in two hundred years?"

Amidst such shifting thoughts, the ancient Forbidden Zones all underwent changes.

Many figures regained their spirit, but soon another Ancient Emperor was dissatisfied.

"All of us deduced that the correct Immortal Path is not necessarily the truly correct path to becoming an Immortal."

In the past, if anyone dared to say such things and cast such doubt, they would definitely be treated as a fool by all the Ancient Emperors and Supreme beings, but at this moment, the many figures present were all silent at once.

Having witnessed a true figure become an Immortal, and comparing it to the records of the opening of the Immortal Path in ancient history, they now feel that the opening of that kind of Immortal Path, with the imprints of a million Gods and Demons and the so-called traces of Qilin, has no meaning; after all, no one has ever truly succeeded.

The so-called portal of the Immortal Path, the so-called Chaos Cave, has no meaning.

The opening of the Immortal Path not long ago did not conform to any records in the past, yet it was the one they believed in the most.
