Chapter 147: The Endings of the Two Great Forbidden Zones

With Xiaoyao Tianzun's loud shout.

A strange river appeared, seeming like light yet like shadow, like a dream yet like an illusion, as if a wondrous manifestation of the supreme Great Dao of heaven and earth!

It seemed to flow slowly at first, like a babbling brook, then began to rush, surging and roaring.

However.

This was an illusion, for though the river seemed slow, it was actually fast beyond the scope of time, launching an ambush kill at Wushi Great Emperor!

River of Time!

This was naturally not real river water, merely the manifestation of a certain law, flowing with the breath of ancient ages, covering sky and earth, annihilating all things!

Xiaoyao Tianzun was fighting desperately; he could only unleash one final blow.

He had reached the most brilliant instant of his life after reclaiming his Dao Fruit, attaining his peak strength; even in his prime years, its power would be no more than this.

At this moment.

Brilliant immortal light flooded this region of space-time, such that even several Imperial Path Ancient Venerables of a trench could not clearly see the fluctuations within.

Ages like a knife beheading Heaven's Pride, Xiaoyao Tianzun wielded the river of time, slaying not only Wushi but also himself, and moreover this very heaven and earth.

He wished to destroy this place with the River of Time, pierce a path through the universe, communicate with another world, and make one final heaven-defying gamble.

It must be said, as one of the Nine Heavenly Venerables of old and the Self-Creator of the Xing character secret, Xiaoyao Tianzun was indeed powerful.

In this final blow after his extreme sublimation, there was already a trace of aura approaching the might of a Heavenly Emperor level!

If an ordinary Imperial Path Expert were here, they might suffer a great loss, or even perish.

Or again, if he were still in his prime years, an attack of this level would not be just once, but layer upon layer, even nine-nine combined into one, reaching the heaven-shaking slaughter of a Heavenly Emperor level!

Alas, Xiaoyao was after all old and feeble, at the curtain call of his life.

And more importantly, the one he faced was none other than Wushi Great Emperor and Ruthless Female Emperor!

This was the first time two Heavenly Emperor level powerhouses fought side by side; normally, they absolutely would not do so!

For in this life, they were originally the strongest in the whole Great Universe; even a Sage Emperor was merely their equal.

But today was different.

With so many Forbidden Zone Supremes undergoing extreme sublimation, even they had to be careful in facing them; otherwise the situation would be unimaginable, and the Endless Star Domain might collapse.

"Clang clang clang……"

Almost at the same moment, several Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons also came killing toward Ruthless Female Emperor's rear, each one sharp through the ages, erupting with the peak strike of an Imperial Path Expert.

And at this moment.

"Clang!"

The Wushi Bell above the Firmament Above at a closer distance boomed downward, shaking out several bell waves, vast and boundless.

This was Wushi Great Emperor acting, intercepting the attacks of these several Imperial Weapons.

And he also struck out with one palm, shocking several Ancient Venerables such as the Great Peng Emperor and Light-Dark Supreme into retreating, blood overflowing from their mouth corners, causing a look of shock to flash in their eyes.

Obviously.

This was not Wushi Great Emperor forcibly shielding the Female Emperor, but rather at their level, and in such a violent God War, a natural combat reflex.

Existences like them, every strike surpassed the scope of art, reaching a supreme domain.

And at the same moment.

"Hum!"

The Qing Tong Xian Dian above the Female Emperor's head also soared into the sky, with shocking immortal light blooming, suppressing downward toward the River of Time that Xiaoyao Tianzun had sacrificed.

Surveying the world, only the Female Emperor and a few others could directly oppose Xiaoyao Tianzun's extreme blow like this.

If anyone else did so, they would surely suffer a great loss; even if using a Dao Body as a substitute, perhaps it would be hard to resolve, for this was slaughter involving the ultimate mysteries of the universe.

Boom!

Under this starry sky, a shocking great collision occurred; immortal light layered in ten thousand folds, Dao Waves roamed everywhere, Chaos surged.

When all fell silent, Xiaoyao Tianzun staggered, covered in blood, the Immortal Tears Green Gold Bottle in his hand shattered, Myriad Dao Lament wailed between heaven and earth, a scene of utter ruin, unsightly.

Wushi and the Female Emperor did not go forward to kill him again, for the Time Dao Rule between them was shattered, and the Great Dao was thrown into extreme disorder.

Although this level of Space-Time Turbulence could not be said to pose too great a threat to them, it was still very strange and might bring certain trouble.

More importantly, Xiaoyao Tianzun had already reached the true end of his life.

His Immortal Platform had completely rotted, that crack was terrifyingly wide, his Primordial Spirit collapsed, and he was about to undergo Dao Transformation.

The final blow, he had struck it out; he wounded the enemy, split the heavens, and also cut himself!

On the Female Emperor's Qing Tong Xian Dian, there also appeared a large rotted gap, and it was still spreading, looking very terrifying, but in the end it was blocked by immortal light and could not expand further.

"Hehe, haha……"

Xiaoyao Tianzun smiled bitterly, filled with an indescribable loneliness and desolation.

He had once walked through ten thousand ages, overlooked all living beings, surveyed one ancient emperor and Great Emperor after another falling, and now it was finally his turn.

"Alas……still failed to see an immortal……"

His Immortal Platform had long since shattered, brilliant imperial blood surged like a spring, and the next moment, that dreamlike River of Time reversed, crashing onto him.

Boom!

Xiaoyao Tianzun instantly rotted beyond measure, his flesh and blood withered throughout, turning into white bones; the River of Time completely ground away his life force, he exploded at once, becoming universe dust.

One who studied time, in the end was defeated in his own domain.

Heaven and Earth Dao Roared; just now the Myriad Daos were nearly severed, making this place a Calamity Land, and the surrounding Star Ruins all turned into powder.

This Legendary Heavenly Venerate ultimately fell; he created the Xing character secret, stepped into the Time Domain, but in the end he himself died under this rule, beheaded by time.

……

Another Side.

In the Taichu Ancient Mine battlefield, the God War had already neared its end.

The Female Emperor's other incarnation, holding an Immortal Sword, with a step across, bypassed the attacks of several Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons and arrived before an Ancient Emperor.

That was a powerful Primordial Ancient Emperor, with a strange appearance, who had already reached Extreme Sublimation, his flawless Imperial Aura shattering the Nine Heavens.

His whole body was glowing; although he was in human form, he possessed various wild beast characteristics, all originating from the strongest ancient beast bloodlines of the mythological era, such as Kun Peng Wings, Helmet Ox Horns, Qilin Armor — these combined together, exuding a terrifying and unparalleled ferocious Qi.

Beast God!

Without a doubt, this must be a peerless Ancient Emperor who had reached the extreme of the Human Dao Domain on his Great Dao path!

However.

This moment, the Beast God's pupils shrank sharply, as if he saw the arrival of Supreme Killing Intent.

The reason was none other than the Female Emperor's extreme speed, which surpassed gods and nearly connected to Immortal!

Xingzi Secret?!

The several Primordial Ancient Emperors she bypassed couldn't help but be shocked, as if they saw the Supreme Grace of the Xingzi Secret's Extreme Manifestation.

Perhaps, even if Xiaoyao Tianzun personally arrived, it would be no more than this?!

This was the thought that flashed through the minds of those Primordial Ancient Emperors.

However.

As Imperial Path experts, they naturally could all distinguish that this was not the Xingzi Secret, but should be the Ultimate Immortal Art created by this Female Emperor, yet it could contend with this Nine Secrets!

Of course.

This Immortal Art is also not invincible; a few Imperial Path Ancient Venerables also have Forbidden Chapter Secret Techniques that can rival it.

The most crucial point is that the Female Emperor's combat power this life seems to have transcended the scope of the Human Dao Domain, making it somewhat difficult for them to see through.

Because the next moment.

With a *chi* sound, the Female Emperor's right hand, white as jade, holding an Immortal Sword, swept out horizontally in the instant of the God War that allowed no delay, blood light filling a hundred million miles, severing the Beast God before her at the waist.

"This……"

"This…… is another Heavenly Emperor risen?"

Such peerless mighty power, almost no weaker than a Holy Emperor, causing the remaining Primordial Ancient Emperors to all feel trembling fear!

As former Provers of the Dao, before today's God War, their Dao Hearts had always been undamaged, invincible in all directions, so it had been for ten thousand ages.

This is an objective fact, because they had never truly lost; otherwise they would not have reached this step today!

But this moment, everything ultimately changed.

Amidst the brilliant sword light spanning a hundred million miles, the Beast God's Primordial Spirit rushed skyward; it was a crystalline little figure, still possessing the characteristics of various strongest ancient beasts.

"Kill!"

The remaining several Primordial Ancient Emperors roared, all burning their essence souls, launching an all-out attack towards Gu Xuan and the Female Emperor, intending to use the Surround Wei Save Zhao technique, aiming to save the Beast God's Primordial Spirit.

Because at their cultivation level, as long as the Primordial Spirit is not destroyed, they can reshape the flesh body in an instant, can reappear Imperial Path Expert combat power, only their Qi and Blood may be somewhat inferior.

This God War having reached this moment now, each less comrade on their side increases the probability of their defeat by several points.

However, even with the Supremes violently attacking like this, they still could not succeed as they wished.

This time, it was Gu Xuan protecting the Female Emperor; the Chaos Square Vessel suppressed down, and he himself also waved his fist forward, blasting out several unmatched Imperial Dao Fluctuations, shocking back the several people before him.

"Chi!"

The Female Emperor unhindered by the slightest obstruction, naturally waved the Immortal Sword, directly chopping down, severing the Beast God's Primordial Spirit — like light, like illusion — into fragments, leaving nothing behind, turning it into Calamity Ash!

Beast God falls!

Among the many Imperial Path Ancient Venerables of the Taichu Ancient Mine, one less person again!

Battle reaches here; among the enemies on Gu Xuan's side, only the Divine Ruins Master, Abandon Heaven Supreme, and four other Imperial Path experts remain.

"Pity the Desolate Pagoda is silent, difficult to fully activate……"

The Divine Ruins Master sighs lightly.

Over the years, the Desolate Pagoda has always been suppressed in the Deep Parts of the Divine Ruins Forbidden Zone, nominally the Seal Zone Treasure of this Forbidden Zone.

Only pity, ultimately it is merely nominal.

On ordinary days, it ignores the many Supremes including the Divine Ruins Master, always responding with silence.

Without a doubt, if in this battle they could jointly activate the Desolate Pagoda, perhaps they could achieve somewhat better battle results.

But it might still be difficult to obtain final victory, because those two on the opposite side are truly strong to an outrageous degree.

This is a wisp of Divine Sense that flashed through the Divine Ruins Master's mind at a certain moment when the God War was fiercely hot.

"Haha……"

A Supreme laughs miserably; between his white teeth, brilliant Treasure Blood seeps out, very intimidating!

Never expected that, abandoning everything, hibernating for ten thousand ages, having launched the Dark Turmoil several times, all for becoming Immortal, yet ultimately welcoming such a life, welcoming such a Curtain Call!

"Great Emperor cannot be opposed, Supreme cannot be insulted" — such words, before the Holy Emperor, Wu Shi, and the Female Emperor now, have become somewhat impractical.

He exchanged a glance with another Primordial Ancient Emperor; both saw a kind of decisiveness in each other's eyes.

Then, without prior agreement, the two of them both ignited the Burn Dao Divine Fire.

"Die……"

Amidst the two's roars, even their natal Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons burned together, pouncing to kill towards Gu Xuan.

And not only that.

The Divine Ruins Master and Abandon Heaven Supreme, seeing this scene, were likewise decisive to the extreme, similarly burning all of themselves, carrying blazing Tao Transformation Light, their target only one person — Gu Xuan!

Even though there is still a period of time before they would perish from proximity, they still did this; otherwise they fundamentally could not see a shred of hope.

Even if they must fall, they must strive to drag down one of the enemies of this God War!

"Hong long long!"

A full four flawless Primordial Ancient Emperors invoked the Great Dao laws, unleashing the final blow of their lives, strong to the Absolute Peak, stunning the Human Domain.

Their Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons were likewise the same, burning together with the deities contained within, dazzling and eye-catching, Light Rain filling the sky!

This prestige was too terrifying, causing all the stars in the heavens and worlds to ignite and burn.

Even a Heavenly Emperor-level expert like Gu Xuan had to retreat for a moment, unable to take it head-on; otherwise it would be hard to dissolve such force, he would suffer a great loss, and even worse was possible.

For this was a Perfect Great Emperor-level expert's all-out Transform into Dao Strike, something that has almost never reappeared from ancient times to the present, most terrifying!

"Hum!"

The Chaos Square Vessel shifted horizontally, blocking in front of its Owner, shaking out an endless, fierce Dao Wave, blocking an Ancient Emperor, while the Chaos Square Vessel also cracked, nearly disintegrating.

The Female Emperor also sacrificed the Immortal Sword in her hand, and in an instant it transformed into a Ten Thousand Sword Formation, meeting another Ancient Venerable.

Crack!

After several breaths, the sword formation returned to a single Immortal Sword, several terrifying cracks appearing on the blade body, while that Ancient Venerable also ultimately withered away.

In fact.

It was not that these two Ancient Emperors' Extreme Sublimation Transform into Dao Strikes were not strong enough, but rather that the Owners of these two Near-Immortal Imperial Weapons were too extraordinary, having infused their own Heavenly Emperor-level Dao and laws into the weapons, therefore they were firm and undying.

And next.

Gu Xuan did not let the Female Emperor act; a vast, majestic green Qi surged from above his head, and the next moment, at the positions to his left and right two sides, two Dao Bodies appeared.

One Qi Transforms Three Purities!

Boom!

Gu Xuan's these two Dao Bodies each welcomed the enemy forward, clashing head-on with the remaining two Supremes.

With a puff sound, like two giant Black Holes thoroughly exploding, death light and fluctuations blazing to the extreme erupted in this stretch of starry sky.

If not for Gu Xuan and the Female Emperor acting, the affected range would be unknown how large, how terrifying, inevitably producing casualties difficult to estimate.

But finally.

These two Supremes along with their Imperial Weapons all turned to flying ash, thoroughly annihilated.

Up to this point.

The Imperial Path Ancient Venerables hibernating in the Taichu Ancient Mine were all struck dead, blood mist permeating, shocking the Human Realm!

Another side.

On the Shangcang Forbidden Zone battlefield, the battle between the Wushi Great Emperor and the Female Emperor's other Dao Body had likewise already approached its conclusion.

The only remaining three Supremes were respectively the Great Peng Emperor, the Light and Dark Supreme, and the Immortal Crone; even though they had long since undergone Extreme Sublimation, flawless Imperial Aura breaking through the Nine Heavens, pressing down on the universe, they still could not conceal their declining momentum.

What kind of era is this?

In past years, a single Forbidden Zone Ancient Venerable appearing would terrify and shake the world, even the Current Era's Supremes had to face them solemnly, because a battle would be a fight to the death with unpredictable outcome.

Yet now so many Sublimation Supremes join forces in battle, but it actually results in such an ending, simply making one not dare believe a single bit, surpassing understanding.

"Haha..."

Battle-loving as the Great Peng Emperor was, upon perceiving that the Dao Friends in the Taichu Ancient Mine had all perished, he also laughed bitterly, with an inexplicable bleak desolation.

And without any surprise, he along with the Light and Dark Supreme and the Immortal Crone were ultimately still killed by the Wushi Great Emperor and the Female Emperor, their Primordial Spirits blasted into oblivion!

The Shangcang Forbidden Zone, from now on, is likewise struck from the rolls!
