Chapter 146

Above the Beidou Ancient Star.

Dozens of terrifying Imperial fluctuations surged, killing intent stirring the myriad ages!

Gu Xuan, Wu Shi, and the Ruthless Person — three Heavenly Emperor Level Experts — stood in the void; even without deliberately releasing their auras, that shocking prestige shook the Universe's Six Harmonies and Eight Wastelands.

And behind the three of them were also Dacheng Holy Body Xu Lie, and Di Li Si who had achieved the Alternative Path to Enlightenment.

As well as four Imperial Path Experts who had come out from the Forbidden Zones: the Qilin Ancient Emperor, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor, Xuanwu Dao Ren, and an unnamed Human Race Great Emperor.

And on the other side.

Were the Taichu Ancient Mine and the Upper Heaven — two great Forbidden Zones.

And now, these two great Forbidden Zones had also received unprecedented reinforcement.

Among them, the Taichu Ancient Mine had seen two Ancient Emperors walk out, yet still had ten remaining — this was undoubtedly a terrifying number.

You must know, these were all former Provers of the Dao, invincible in an era.

Any single one taken out alone could be called world-shaking, capable of stirring up unimaginable waves!

Obviously.

This was one of the reasons the Golden Ancient Emperor and the Ten Thousand Dragons Ancient Emperor chose not to appear, but to continue guarding the Ancient Mine.

The Upper Heaven Forbidden Zone was also not to be outdone, likewise having ten Supremes within it.

This moment.

The two great Forbidden Zones also released powerful auras, forming a terrifying confrontation, a sword-drawn crossbow-taut atmosphere as if ready to explode at a touch!

Throughout the Universe.

All Supreme Races and major factions, probing this scene with their Sect's supreme treasures, were all horrified and trembling.

And on the Beidou Ancient Star where the incident occurred, countless cultivators trembled to the extreme, many even shivering, for that aura was truly too awe-inspiring!

Throughout the myriad ages, there has never been a scene like today's!

In the past, it was not that there had never been a situation of Current Era Great Emperors confronting Life Forbidden Zones.

As for the distant past like the Heavenly Emperor, let us not speak of it — too ancient, many records have already blurred into Ancient History.

More recently, there were also the Queen Mother of the West, Hengyu Great Emperor, Void Great Emperor, and even the Nanling Heavenly Emperor who once swept the Heaven Severing Mountain Range with a single sword.

However.

Compared to today's scene, these still fell far short.

……

In this starry sky.

A tense, oppressive atmosphere to the extreme permeated, as if even spacetime were silently collapsing.

If not for the fact that war had not truly broken out, let alone the Beidou Star Domain, I fear the surrounding dozens of star domains would have already suffered great destruction!

After another few breaths.

In the two great Forbidden Zones, ultimately no more Supremes appeared.

Gu Xuan, the Wushi Great Emperor, and the Ruthless Great Emperor exchanged a glance, the latter two nodding slightly, their gazes brilliant as if confirming some decision.

The next moment.

On the earth below, a shocking drastic change occurred.

The Northern Region.

In the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest, ancient coffin after ancient coffin rose up, corpse after corpse self-destructed — those were multiple flesh bodies exquisite like jade, all burning up, turning into Calamity Ash, soaring into strands of Immortal Light.

Gu Xuan and Wu Shi, being close, could see that within those strands of Immortal Light, there was clearly Primordial Spirit power — now merging into one, how strong would it be?!

In the end, all the bodies within the coffins turned to flying ash, essence soul divine light merging as one, all entering the body of the Ruthless Great Emperor at their side.

And on the Eastern Wasteland, a Heaven Swallowing Demon Jar was also summoned, and exploded in mid-air; endless Essence Qi and Origin Soul likewise entered her body.

And not only that.

On the Northern Plains, a little girl of about three or four, carved from powder and jade, also exclaimed, then soared into the sky, finally directly turning into a streak of light entering the Female Emperor's brow center.

This moment.

Even Gu Xuan and the Wushi Great Emperor felt the Female Emperor's aura strengthen greatly, like an even more unfathomable terrifying Black Hole!

Even Heavenly Emperor Level Experts like them had this feeling — the Female Emperor's strength, unimaginable!

This heaven and earth seemed to tremble, as if unable to bear this pressure.

But fortunately, Gu Xuan and Wu Shi acted, stabilizing the four directions, and the Female Emperor soon calmed down.

In fact, the former two were not too surprised by this.

Because they had vaguely anticipated this scene, and it was also within the initial deliberations, just not detailed to this extent.

Everything was already prepared.

Gu Xuan also finally stopped waiting.

He turned his head toward those four Supremes who had appeared from the Life Forbidden Zones, and spoke: "The great battle is about to begin, please four Dao Friends guard the formation, protect all living beings."

These words, once spoken, left everyone shocked beyond measure, even the existences in the Forbidden Zones likewise.

Under this terrifying confrontation's tense situation, what does "the great battle is about to begin" mean?!

All living beings in the Universe stared dumbfounded — could it be that a great battle to pacify the Forbidden Zones is really going to happen?

And the next moment.

From the Upper Heaven Forbidden Zone came a furious shout: "Holy Body, don't bully people too much!"

By this time, they were already enemies not friends; this Forbidden Zone's Supremes were even unwilling to call Gu Xuan a single "Holy Emperor," instead substituting his First Life's title.

This is a natural manifestation of hostility.

"When we proved the Dao and became Supremes guarding this Universe, your ancestors were still praying and worshiping at our feet — do you intend to rebel today?"

From the Taichu Ancient Mine, a furious rebuke also rang out, its sound rumbling, possessing the unique domineering air of a Forbidden Zone Supreme.

But Gu Xuan's expression was calm, his response cold and indifferent.

"I only respect your first lives! But in the lingering years since, how many Dark Turmoils, how many corpse mountains and blood seas, killing karma surging to the heavens, letting heaven and earth grieve greatly for you!"

A speech, and heaven and earth seemed to fall silent for it.

And after pausing a moment, Gu Xuan added another line: "In this world, the fresh blood spilled because of Dark Turmoil is already too much; in our lifetime, we hope to flatten the Forbidden Zones, and never have Dark Turmoil again!"

Throughout the whole Great Universe, among all the many lineages that heard these words, there was instantly an uproar!

At this moment people were tense and afraid, with anticipation and also fear, watching Gu Xuan, Wu Shi, Ruthless Person, and the others.

Across the Heavens and Worlds, everyone trembled, unable to believe that such a scene would actually happen today.

The Beidou Ancient Star's several great Life Forbidden Zones, like high and mighty deities, needing all spirits to offer sacrifice and worship — who dared disrespect, who could conquer them?

But now it was different; an unimaginable dramatic change had occurred!

"Arrogant!"

In the Taichu Ancient Mine and Upper Heaven, the two great Forbidden Zones, the various Supremes even though they had already anticipated this.

But when they truly heard such words spoken from Gu Xuan's mouth, they were still shocked and angry beyond measure!

This was simply a bit hard to accept; you must know, in the two great Forbidden Zones there were respectively a full ten Supremes hibernating, absolutely a terrifying since ancient times place!

However.

Gu Xuan did not yield in the slightest.

"Generation after generation of seniors threw their heads and spilled hot blood, guarding the Forbidden Zones, ultimately waiting for this life; this life we will blood battle to the end to flatten the Life Forbidden Zones!"

His voice was majestic, not particularly high-pitched, yet it resounded through and shook the Great Universe.

At this moment, all the major Star Domains were reverberating with this one Dao Sound of his, his invincible will merging with Heaven's Heart, making the Great Universe rumble and roar, trembling for him.

What kind of prestige was this, and what kind of magnificent words?!

Nothing to say; between each other there has long been no room for compromise.

"Kill!"

Gu Xuan acted; the Life Forbidden Zone he chose was the Taichu Ancient Mine.

Here it inhaled and exhaled heaven and earth essence, terrifying power surging violently, all kinds of Dao Rules fully manifesting, intertwining there, becoming a forbidden land; since ancient times few people have ever set foot in it.

However.

This day, Gu Xuan yet domineeringly descended here, above his head that simple unadorned Chaos Square Vessel, directly suppressing and killing downward!

"Boom!"

Heaven and earth shook; he extended one big hand, severing a corner of the Forbidden Zone Grand Array inside the ancient mine alive, terrifying Dao Fragments permeating.

This was simply divine might shocking the world, ignoring the ten Imperial Path Supremes inside, domineeringly breaking the array, suppressing this place, shaking heavens and moving earth!

"Dare you?!"

Several Supremes inside acted together, yet they could not change this fact, unable to block all this; they blasted out several killing strikes, but were shocked back.

Because it was not only Gu Xuan acting; the Female Emperor also pressed forward with a palm, incomparably sharp, Heavenly Emperor Level world-shocking power bursting forth, shocking the various Supremes!

And almost at the same moment.

The Wushi Great Emperor also acted; he took one step out, descending upon the Upper Heaven Forbidden Zone.

This is a giant island, suspended in the Eastern Wasteland's sky dome, normally hidden in the void unseen, also like the Reincarnation Sea Forbidden Zone, calling itself a world.

Its main body resembles a giant coffin, and the nine mountain ridges extending out, shaped like nine True Dragons, majestic and vast, extremely imposing, shocking the heart.

This is also a mysterious since ancient times Forbidden Ground!

The world only knows its fame, yet rarely can anyone observe its depths; even generation after generation of Ancient Great Emperors could not set foot in it.

But today, the Wushi Great Emperor yet domineeringly came here, to pacify this forbidden land!

And not only that.

That supreme Female Emperor, at the moment the Holy Emperor and Wushi Great Emperor acted, also moved; she split one into two, actually turning into two of herself.

Obviously, this is a world-shocking Divine Ability, somewhat like the legendary One Qi Transforms Three Purities, yet also somewhat different; it is a Forbidden Means created by the Female Emperor.

One went to the Taichu Ancient Mine, one went to the Upper Heaven Forbidden Zone, clearly each going to assist the Holy Emperor and Wushi Great Emperor respectively.

Such a scene simply made people completely unable to believe!

Its shocking degree surpasses all past God War records!

Even the previous falling of the Undying Heavenly Emperor and seven other Imperial Path Supremes does not compare to this.

For endless ages, the Life Forbidden Zones have been high and mighty, like Hong Huang gods above the nine heavens, unreachable; the world could only look up, fear, offer sacrifice...

But this day, there actually occurred the event of being attacked, of being about to be pacified, making people stare with mouths agape, hearts and gallbladders trembling.

"Rumble—!"

An unprecedented since ancient times, and perhaps never to reappear in the future, terrifying God War, thus thoroughly erupted!

"You?!"

Amid a roar of shocked anger.

The Taichu Ancient Mine and Upper Heaven Forbidden Zone each had nearly ten figures break out of huge Immortal Source Blocks, activating the Forbidden Zone Grand Array, forced into this battle with no choice!

In the extremely violent Dao Rules storm, Immortal Light burst forth, all kinds of Dao Fragments rumbling.

This is absolutely a world-destroying God War; a single wave leaking out could cause the entire Ancient Star to collapse.

More severely, even the entire Beidou Star Domain, even the entire Great Universe would suffer great destruction; perhaps no living being could survive.

Because at this kind of moment, the Forbidden Zone Supremes face a crisis to their own existence; they can no longer have any regard; even if it destroys the world, they will not hesitate.

Fortunately.

On the outskirts of the two great Forbidden Zone battlefields, a full six Imperial Path Experts were guarding the formation: respectively Dacheng Holy Body Xu Lie, Di Li Si, and the Qilin Ancient Emperor and three other Supremes — four great Supremes total.

They sometimes extended big hands, sometimes blasted out Imperial Path Fluctuations, blocking those terrifying aftershocks that could collapse all things; only thus was this heaven and earth preserved.

"Holy Body, you all truly deserve to die!"

Among the two Forbidden Zones, there were Supremes filled with boundless resentment, forced to participate in this kind of great battle.

Yet there were also one or two people laughing madly, as if at the end of their road, yet also as if releasing themselves after experiencing ten thousand ages of desolate silence.

"Haha..."

"Good! Today we'll have a happy fight!"

Above the Taichu Ancient Mine.

Gu Xuan's whole body shone with brilliant divine light, his majestic figure towering, his entire form enveloped in golden light piercing the heavens, the ancient Chaos Square Vessel atop his head — like a Heavenly Emperor from the Immortal Domain descending to the mortal world, his prestige absolute.

"Dang dang dang..."

Above and below him, in all four directions and eight sides, terrifying killing strikes from the Taichu Ancient Mine's Peerless Killing Arrays attacked, yet all were blocked by the Chaos Square Vessel; although cracks appeared, it ultimately stabilized.

This was already a world-shaking weapon, nearly connecting to the Immortal.

And the next moment.

Gu Xuan struck out with one punch, tyrannical covering heaven and earth, cold intent penetrating ancient and modern, actually directly killing a Great Perfection Holy Spirit!

This was a Holy Spirit from the Divine Ruins Forbidden Zone, who had also lived through ten thousand ages; unexpectedly, after joining the Taichu Ancient Mine, it still could not escape the fate of falling.

And in the original trajectory, he should have been killed by the Green Emperor tens of thousands of years later, together with another of his kind also in the Divine Ruins Forbidden Zone.

However, in the current trajectory, he met his calamity early.

"Chi!"

Even under the cover of the Forbidden Zone Grand Array, this Holy Spirit still could not withstand that terrifying Emperor Power, exploding directly in midair, brilliant treasure blood gushing like a spring, scattering across the starry sky, even its Primordial Spirit directly turning into calamity ash.

"This..."

Such a desperate scene shocked the other nine Supremes in the Taichu Ancient Mine!

Everyone's heart turned cold, feeling a kind of chill penetrating ancient and modern.

If they do not undergo extreme sublimation again, still thinking to rely on this Forbidden Zone Grand Array to face the enemy, I fear the next moment more will be defeated one by one!

This was the thought that flashed through the consciousness seas of the remaining nine Supremes simultaneously.

"Hong long long!"

In an instant, besides that Great Perfection Holy Spirit, the remaining eight Supremes in the Taichu Ancient Mine almost at the same moment chose to ignite their Divine Fire, rushing to the peak state of their lives.

Otherwise they would certainly die, unable to resist the opponent.

In this instant, the heavens exploded, the universe primeval greatly trembled!

Between heaven and earth, a full eight flawless Imperial Path auras appeared, covering sky and earth, sweeping the Six Harmonies and Eight Wastelands!

Some Supremes' auras were recognized, for in ancient times they had all once suppressed an era, inscribed in ancient history, with famous prestige.

They were the Ten Thousand Dragons Ancient Emperor, Golden Ancient Emperor, Abandon Heaven Supreme, White Tiger Daoist, Divine Ruins Lord, Beast God, and two unknown Primordial Emperors.

And together with that Great Perfection Fire Spirit named Immortal Flame, all nine Supremes had Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons at their sides, or atop their heads, following their owners in this world-covering battle!

This kind of terrifying degree, intense to an unprecedented level in ten thousand ages, even with six Supreme-level experts guarding the outside, there were still vast stretches of land and stars collapsing and perishing, unable to endure, and ordinary cultivators suffering casualties.

Among them.

In the eyes of the Ten Thousand Dragons Ancient Emperor and Golden Ancient Emperor, besides resentment and endless cold severity, there was perhaps also a trace of regret.

Having hibernated together in the Taichu Ancient Mine for ten thousand ages, the Qilin Ancient Emperor and Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor — not to mention whether they can truly become Immortal, whether that so-called Strange World is also a scam...

At least for the two great experts Ten Thousand Dragons Ancient Emperor and Golden Ancient Emperor, after this battle, I fear it will be difficult to live on.

However.

The God War violent like this, there was already no room for turning back.

A moment's choice created a different fate; retreat is no longer possible, only forward to fight to the death!

"Hong!"

An unprecedented terrifying God War, thus thoroughly erupted!
