Chapter 137: Undying Heavenly Empress: Heavenly Emperor, You Are Too Ruthless!

The woman in the Divine Source was already a quasi-Dao achiever.

In the distant era of the Undying Heavenly Emperor, she was a peerless beauty whose stunning fame crowned all within the universe, and her natural talent could also be called unparalleled in the world.

After marrying the Undying Heavenly Emperor, she was even more deeply favored by all kinds of luck, her cultivation progress advancing a thousand miles a day, which could be called terrifying.

In the Heavenly Emperor's old age, after the Eight Divine Generals also went into seclusion, she also had a brief period of being honored as the supreme within the universe.

The world all called her the Undying Heavenly Empress.

However.

Such an existence was still far from enough to look at before the Wushi Great Emperor.

Still separated by the Nine Dragon Veins Grand Formation of Gu Huangshan, the Undying Heavenly Empress in the Divine Source almost knelt down, her body and divine soul constantly emitting wails.

The gap was too great.

Even a female cultivator at the quasi-Emperor peak, before the Wushi Great Emperor, had no difference from slightly stronger ants.

However.

The Undying Heavenly Empress was ultimately a figure who had briefly held supremacy in those years, worthy of having her own pride, and also possessing a remarkable Dao heart and perseverance.

Coupled with the fact that between the two, the Gu Huangshan Dragon Vein Grand Formation automatically revived, helping her resist the Wushi Great Emperor's imperial prestige to a certain extent.

Therefore.

She ultimately still forcibly endured the pressure, did not kneel down, but propped herself up with difficulty, and saw that peerless figure unparalleled throughout ancient times.

"Later generation's Emperor, you should not be so rude."

From the Divine Source came an indifferent voice, indistinguishable as male or female, cold and ruthless.

But ultimately there was still a trace of slight trembling meaning within it.

Obviously, for the Undying Heavenly Empress to be able to forcefully speak such a sentence that counted as unyielding was already truly not easy.

Even though there were still Eight Divine Generals guarding within Gu Huangshan, she still regarded herself as the master of this place, and although she already roughly knew the comer's strength, she was still unwilling to lose this face.

However.

The Wushi Great Emperor did not pay attention to her, but turned his head to look toward other deep parts of Gu Huangshan.

There obviously were still the auras of several powerful existences.

The next moment.

"The Undying Heavenly Emperor has perished from the world, leaving you all to remain in the world, only for the Immortal Path. Now the opportunity is far from arrived, yet you all have appeared endangering my Human Race, you should be executed!"

The Wushi Great Emperor's majestic voice resounded through the entire Gu Huangshan, then vast and mighty throughout the heavens.

On the Eastern Wasteland great earth, countless Human Race cultivators were excited to the extreme.

Weeping sadly, roaring angrily, howling madly, tears streaming down their faces, all were present...

The Ancient Ten Thousand Races were too powerful; unless the world's Great Teachings all mobilized their foundations, otherwise what awaited them would only be total destruction.

And now the Human Race Great Emperor was about to powerfully suppress the Ancient powerhouses who had appeared from Gu Huangshan to cause trouble!

How could this not make the world excited?

And this lesson was too profound, and also too tragic!

The world underestimated Gu Huangshan's danger; for the sake of excavating Divine Sources, they actually paid the price of millions dead and wounded, blood flowing to float pestles.

And almost all of this happened within a few breaths, showing the peerless power and ferocity of the existences within Gu Huangshan, as well as their contempt for the Human Race.

Even with a Human Race Great Emperor suppressing the world today, they still believed the Undying Heavenly Emperor's majesty could not be insulted, and must make the comer pay the price of a sea of blood.

This is the pride of the Heavenly Emperor's subordinates, and also their style of conduct.

In fact, they also have this kind of confidence.

Since ancient times, generation after generation of Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors have risen, yet not one truly came to attack Gu Huangshan.

In the eyes of the Eight Divisions, this is the imperial majesty that the Heavenly Emperor's Majesty, as the Supreme God of all eternity, ought to have!

Later generations' Emperors and Heavenly Emperors, even if invincible in the current era, in their perspective, compared to the Undying Heavenly Emperor's Majesty who competes with Heaven for height, there is still some gap.

Therefore.

This time the Human Race came to Gu Huangshan's edge to excavate Divine Sources, the Eight Divisions acted powerfully and sharply, without the slightest scruple.

One move, and it was a heaven-destroying, earth-extinguishing great killing move; tens of millions of Human Race cultivators were just like that suppressed and killed, without the slightest mercy.

In their view.

Even if the current era's Human Race Great Emperor came to the door, they also could not do anything to them.

Not to mention the Heavenly Emperor very possibly still exists in the world, which is a huge deterrence.

The many backhands he left behind are also of unparalleled power; a Current Era Great Emperor may not necessarily be able to attack inside.

Moreover, they feel they are very much in the right; towards anyone who disturbs Gu Huangshan, they should be punished like this, otherwise it cannot manifest majesty.

Therefore.

When they heard that majestic Great Emperor Dao sound, those huge Divine Sources in the depths of Gu Huangshan suddenly broke open, and several terrifying figures walked out from within.

"Boom—rumble—!"

With several extremely terrifying muffled sounds, Gu Huangshan's Dragon Vein Grand Formation revived.

In those years, the Undying Heavenly Emperor had eight great Divine Generals under his command, each powerful to the extreme, some even almost achieving the Dao.

In the Heavenly Emperor's late reign, they once acted on his behalf walking the Heavens and Worlds, their momentum dazzling, worthy of being called another form of supreme within the universe.

Later, with the passing of time, they naturally were also sealed away, continuing to guard the Heavenly Emperor's majesty.

Among them, several people could not survive the myriad ancient years, and have already passed away, but there are still those undead, and they are right in this Gu Huangshan.

As the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Generals, they all have transcendent status, pride soaring to the clouds; they would not particularly respect that Undying Heavenly Empress, but they would not watch the Heavenly Empress be killed just like that, and even more would not tolerate anyone offending the Undying Heavenly Emperor.

Now.

Gu Huangshan's peerless Dragon Vein Grand Formation reviving is due to those few among the Eight Divine Generals jointly activating it.

From the depths of the Grand Formation came a Divine General's long howl, shaking the Eastern Wasteland great earth, the voice carrying myriad ancient coldness, "Even if a Current Era Emperor, one cannot offend the Heavenly Emperor!"

And not only that.

From within Gu Huangshan, ninety-nine eighty-one great flags were also sacrificed, instantly forming a flawless Imperial Dao Killing Formation — this is an Imperial Forbidden Artifact personally refined by the Undying Heavenly Emperor.

Compared to conventional weapons, Forbidden Artifacts can only be used a few times; their usable lifespan is extremely limited.

But precisely because of this, their power is immense, surpassing ordinary weapons.

And the Imperial Forbidden Artifact personally refined by the Undying Heavenly Emperor is even enough to pose a terrifying threat to Emperor-level experts!

This moment.

The Nine Dragon Veins Grand Formation and the Imperial Dao Forbidden Artifact within Gu Huangshan both emerged together; such a formation array is truly terrifying to a certain extreme!

In this heaven and earth, Qiankun inverted, ghosts wept and gods howled, heaven collapsed and earth shook!

If not for the myriad law formations set up ten thousand ages ago that originally guarded the surroundings of Gu Huangshan, perhaps aside from the several Life Forbidden Zones and the many Hugu aristocratic families, the whole Beidou Star Domain would have suffered a great upheaval, and many places would have collapsed.

According to common reasoning, a formation array of this degree is enough to make Emperor-level experts hesitate and retreat.

Only a pity.

The one they encountered is the Wushi Great Emperor, who towers above all ages past, present, and future, the most domineering!

Boom— with a sound, the Wushi Great Emperor merely waved a palm, like a millstone that grinds all things into oblivion, suppressing downward.

The next moment.

First, the eighty-one Imperial Dao great flags that were blazing fiercely, with Divine Rules burning, turned into flying ash.

Then, that peerless Imperial Dao Grand Formation collapsed with a boom; of course the Dragon Veins did not suffer any overly severe damage, merely temporarily losing their function.

And in the depths of the formation, those several Divine Generals who had followed the Undying Heavenly Emperor all exploded with a boom, leaving nothing behind.

Even though they were all Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven experts, and some had even reached the height of an Alternative Path to Enlightenment.

However.

Facing the Wushi Great Emperor, they were still far too inferior!

No different from other cultivators, all like ants facing a True Dragon, completely not a clash of the same dimension.

Merely a single palm!

The vast majority of the backhands left by the Undying Heavenly Emperor were thus crushed into oblivion, without any suspense whatsoever.

Such a terrifying scene left all cultivators on Gu Huangshan, and even on the Donghuang Dadi, dumbstruck.

Even the existences within the Forbidden Zones were somewhat shaken.

Everyone clearly knows that Gu Huangshan, as the Undying Heavenly Emperor's burial ground, is so terrifying; for ten thousand ages no one has truly dared to disturb it.

And everyone is not not aware of the Wushi Great Emperor's fame.

However.

The contrast is so obvious, forcing people to once again recognize the Wushi Great Emperor's domineering strength, and his unparalleled power throughout all ages!

As for the Undying Heavenly Empress within the Divine Source, seeing this scene, she was already thoroughly stunned!

You must know, all the backhands left by the Undying Heavenly Emperor can absolutely block an Imperial Path Expert.

She never in her wildest dreams imagined that, even with all of these fully activated, they still could not block a single strike from this Human Race Great Emperor before her eyes.

"Heavenly Emperor, show yourself. I know you are still in the mortal world."

By this time, the Undying Heavenly Empress herself had absolutely not a shred of resistance left in her heart; she could only place her hope in her husband.

There is no hope possible; only the legendary Ten Thousand Races' Supreme God might be able to match him.

The next instant.

From the Undying Heavenly Empress's crown flew out a small Dao Platform, ancient and sacred, emitting a vicissitudinous ancient aura, rapidly enlarging.

"Ang Ma A Gu Ru Ta……"

She simultaneously chanted incantations from her mouth; one after another, profound and unfathomable symbols flew out, branded in the sky above Gu Huangshan, and then infused into that ancient Dao Platform.

This Divine Platform began to enlarge, stopping when it reached about ten zhang in diameter, suspended in the void, mysterious and with powerful Qi, emitting the rhythm of the Great Dao.

"This is the Ancient Phoenix Platform on which the Undying Heavenly Emperor attained Enlightenment back then?!"

In the several Life Forbidden Zones, Supremes who recognized this object uttered low murmurs.

They all attained Enlightenment afterwards; many have perused the ancient books of that year, and can identify some of the Undying Heavenly Emperor's divine objects.

This Ancient Phoenix Platform is a sentient divine object, representing the laws and Dao of the Supreme God of former times; he spent most of his life sitting in meditation upon it, and this platform holds extraordinary significance.

On the Donghuang Dadi, everyone saw this somewhat eerie and awe-inspiring scene, and couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end.

Because the Undying Heavenly Empress's expression was so solemn, as if she were speaking to an incomparably powerful figure on the Dao Platform, as if there really were a person there.

And in a trance, people also seemed to truly see a phantom sitting cross-legged, motionless, appearing on the Ancient Phoenix Platform.

This is not illusory; there really is a phantom — it is the manifestation of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. Because the Undying Heavenly Emperor's merit participates in creation, he long ago branded his own Dao into the Universe Heart.

This terrified all cultivators — could it be that the Undying Heavenly Emperor is truly still alive, and can reappear in the world?

If so, there will inevitably be a most violent collision with the Wushi Great Emperor!

Who will die by whose hand, is hard to say.

Because one side is the Ten Thousand Races' Supreme God of the post-mythological era, powerful to the point of being mythologized.

While the other side is the most domineering and unmatched Human Race Great Emperor since ancient times; he proved the Dao a thousand years ago and destroyed the terrifying Underworld Forbidden Zone, and now has single-handedly shattered all the Heavenly Emperor's backhands and several Divine Generals.

If such two existences were to wage a great battle, perhaps the whole Beidou Star Domain, or even more, would collapse, impossible to preserve.

Only a pity.

The Heavenly Emperor's phantom on the Ancient Phoenix Platform, though it turned from insubstantial to dense, in the end still gradually dimmed down, and did not truly manifest.

This let all cultivators on the Donghuang Dadi secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, there was also disappointment.

Even the many Ancient Venerables within the Forbidden Zones were similarly somewhat disappointed; they would have been very happy to see these two clash, best if it ended in mutual destruction.

And among them.

The most disappointed is naturally the Undying Heavenly Empress, as well as those remaining Taigu Clan members within Gu Huangshan.

"Heavenly Emperor, are you still not coming out? We've suffered such heavy losses, how can you bear it?!"

However, on that Dao Platform, the blurry figure completely vanished, even the laws retracted, and nothing was seen coming out; the Undying Heavenly Emperor never reappeared.

"Heavenly Emperor, what a ruthless heart you have!"

The Undying Heavenly Empress sighed softly, her voice so low it was inaudible; only the Wushi Great Emperor heard it.

Obviously.

Even though the Undying Heavenly Empress felt such unwillingness, such mournful pleas for help did not move the Heavenly Emperor to appear, yet she did not dare to truly complain.

For she had interacted with the Undying Heavenly Emperor for many years, and deeply knew this person was single-mindedly devoted to the Dao, always ruthless; nothing in this world could become his shackles!

In fact.

If it were in the original trajectory, the Undying Heavenly Emperor actually did act.

He and the Wushi Great Emperor, after a terrifying exchange in the Gu Huangshan's Great Array, neither won nor lost, yet he successfully rescued the Undying Heavenly Empress and a few of the Eight Divine Generals.

As for Gu Huangshan, it naturally still had to be relinquished; he could not hold this Dao Chang, and could only yield it to the Wushi Great Emperor.

However.

Now, due to Gu Xuan's appearance, the Undying Heavenly Emperor's decision naturally received influence.

In the past, he took advantage of Gu Xuan's old age to launch a sneak attack, but was instead heavily injured, and even his realm was cut down by Gu Xuan's Dao Sacrifice Heavenly Merit, forcing him into deep hibernation.

If he acted now to face the Wushi Great Emperor, there was a high probability he would be no match, damaging his fame and Dao Heart.

And he naturally would not ignore that there was also a Holy Emperor who might very well have remained in the world just like him.

If Holy Emperor Gu Xuan joined forces with Wushi to pincer-attack him at the critical moment, his life's imperial mandate might well be accounted for right here.

These matters, the Undying Heavenly Empress and the countless cultivators of the world naturally did not know; they were merely disappointed, not seeing the Heavenly Emperor manifest and confront Wushi.

On the other side.

The Wushi Great Emperor also felt some disappointment in his heart; even this did not make the Undying One appear — this person was indeed very forbearing.

But this is probably also the attitude of most Ancient Supremes aspiring to the Immortal Road; nothing strange.

For the sake of becoming immortal, everything can be discarded; let alone some subordinate Divine Generals and Dao Companions.

The next moment.

"Boom!"

Before the Wushi Great Emperor manifested an Immortal Bell; it transformed to a height level with the heavens, suppressing downward, Chaos Qi permeating Gu Huangshan, collapsing myriad ages.

This Wushi Bell was too powerful; even the Undying Heavenly Empress who was nearly becoming Dao had no power to resist at all, and was suppressed, then brought before the Wushi Great Emperor.

"Hum!"

A profound fluctuation spread out; it was the Wushi Great Emperor using a Supreme Secret Technique to probe the Undying Heavenly Empress's Shénshí.

Her Shénshí memory showed she had only awakened not long ago; the Ancient Ancestor King Jiu of the Eight Divisions had offered the corpses of those dead Human Race Cultivators before her, letting her absorb the Flesh and Blood Essence of these corpses to compensate for the losses from sealing herself for too long.

She could not be called the mastermind of evil, yet she also enjoyed the benefits.

With a clang, the Wushi Bell unleashed its strongest bell wave; it did not kill the Undying Heavenly Empress, but suppressed her with Unrivaled Emperor Power.

As for the various Ancestor Kings who emerged to cause trouble, they were also suppressed and killed by the Wushi Great Emperor, leaving only some minor remnants detained, placed outside Gu Huangshan, like existences guarding the gate.

Afterwards, he chose to long suppress Gu Huangshan, and renamed it Purple Mountain, to serve as his own Dao Chang.
