Chapter 148

The God War concludes!

Henceforth, of the Seven Forbidden Zones of Life on the Beidou Ancient Star, only the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Ground remains; the other six have all been thoroughly pacified!

Gu Xuan and Wu Shi stand tall in the starry sky, gray hair loose, their clothes stained with the blood of Supremes, their bearing peerless and domineering!

One of the Empress's avatars then dissipates, turning into endless light rain, merging with another avatar, and returning as a single woman who is arrogant against the ages and of peerless grace.

Her white dress also bears large patches of Supreme blood; this God War was far too fierce, the number of fallen Imperial Path experts terrifying!

Hum!

Her skirt trembles, shaking off that Imperial blood, returning to flawlessness.

Obviously.

The Empress is ultimately still a woman, more fond of cleanliness; this is a kind of nature, and even now that she has achieved the status of a Heavenly Emperor, it remains so.

However, these are all trivial details; let us not mention them for now.

All Six Forbidden Zones of Life have been exterminated; this news shook the Great Universe, everyone who knew of it was dumbstruck, shocked beyond measure!

Throughout the myriad ancient ages until now, even when there were Ancient Great Emperors suppressing the world, it was merely maintaining temporary stability, let alone the dark periods of the No-Emperor Era.

Who could have thought that these several terrifying sources of calamity in the Great Universe would actually welcome a day of thorough destruction?!

You must know, added together among them, there were fully dozens of Forbidden Existences; if they truly all emerged, they could absolutely destroy the world, and even Current Era Great Emperors would inevitably perish.

But the result is just so.

With matters developing to this point, the old sages and antique-level Great Saints of the many supreme races and major powers have already vaguely been able to speculate the thread of this entire major event.

That is, the Wushi Great Emperor used himself as bait, first luring out the Undying Heavenly Emperor, the Chang Sheng Tian Zun, and the other seven Supremes.

Then, the Holy Emperor appeared in the world, and joined forces with that Empress of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Ground.

Three Heavenly Emperors who surpass the Imperial Path realm joined forces, first killing the seven Supremes, then with sheer hard strength sweeping away all the Forbidden Zones.

Such magnificent feats and battle achievements are glorious to the ultimate extreme, far surpassing the imagination of the world, more illusory than myth!

Although all living beings do not know how the Holy Emperor and the Empress survived through reincarnation one life after another, this only adds further to their reverence and worship, regarding them as the Human Race's supreme Heavenly Emperors, akin to Supreme Gods!

Throughout the universe, countless cultivators kowtow in worship, reminiscing the merits of Gu Xuan, Wu Shi, and the Empress; the Heavens and Worlds are almost boiling!

Undoubtedly, this is an unparalleled mythical battle record, bringing an end to a segment of Ancient History; from now on, the universe's malignant tumors will find it hard to appear again.

The other side of the starry sky.

That unnamed Human Race Great Emperor and the Qilin Ancient Emperor also sigh lightly, as if reminiscing the past; their gazes likewise hold shock.

In fact.

In the eras they suppressed the world, they likewise felt immense pressure because of those several Forbidden Zones of Life, inevitably having a feeling that human strength is sometimes exhausted.

In this universe, when will there be no more Forbidden Zones?

They may not have lacked such a thought, but they also deeply knew that even with strength like theirs, wanting to achieve this was no different from a fool talking in a dream, utterly impossible!

However.

Right today, this impossible thing happened, and they are witnesses, personally watching the Holy Emperor and the others divide and govern, striking down the various Venerables one by one.

Undoubtedly, the Qilin Ancient Emperor and the other Four Great Supremes have long since understood that among this, the Holy Emperor inevitably played a crucial role.

And connecting it to the past when he and the Void Emperor joined forces, sweeping away eight or nine Dark Supremes who emerged to cause trouble.

This terrifying battle record causes the Qilin Ancient Emperor and the others to involuntarily look toward the Holy Emperor standing tall in the starry sky, their gazes flashing with strange brilliance, within which there is gravity, and also admiration...

As former Provers of the Dao, they would almost absolutely find it difficult to do so; they are all those who ascended to the absolute peak and stood alone above all, but today is indeed different.

Rumble—!

In the distance, the Dacheng Holy Body Xu Lie and Di Li Si join forces, activating that Heavenly Emperor Grade Formation, returning the Burial Emperor Star and even the Beidou Star Domain to their positions.

And the Qilin Ancient Emperor, the Human Race Great Emperor, the Xuanwu Ancient Emperor, and the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor, these four, also seize the opportunity well, reacting rapidly, likewise crossing out Supreme Dao Principles to assist Xu Lie and the other two.

In this unprecedented world-destroying level God War, although the Four Great Supremes did not directly participate in battle, they also established no small merit.

For if not for the four of them acting, Gu Xuan and the others might still have had to spare a thread of energy to assist Xu Lie and Di Li Si in stabilizing the battlefield.

In that case, this battle might not have ended so smoothly.

"Four Dao Friends, regarding the matter of opening the Cheng Xian Tong Dao, please be patient and wait a moment, until we have concluded the matters here."

Gu Xuan turns his body, transmitting a divine sound to the Qilin Ancient Emperor and the other four; his words are sincere, his attitude earnest.

If it were someone else saying such words, for instance the Di Zun, the Undying Heavenly Emperor, such people, perhaps it would inevitably arouse suspicion, making one think there might be deceit within.

For example, that previous scheme of surrounding three while leaving one open, first coaxing the Four Great Supremes into emerging, thus reducing four opponents, waiting until the Forbidden Zones were swept away, then striking at these four.

But spoken from the mouth of a generation's Holy Emperor, it is ultimately still somewhat different.

Even though he previously had several experiences of setting ambushes to kill Forbidden Zone Supremes, those he targeted were almost all Ancient Venerables who had launched or intended to launch Dark Turmoil.

And the Qilin Ancient Emperor and the others from the start chose to believe Gu Xuan, chose to part ways with the Forbidden Zones; at present they can only walk a single path to the end, impossible to turn back.

Therefore.

The four of them naturally have no objection, some cupping hands, some quietly nodding, then assisting Xu Lie and Di Li Si in repairing the damaged Beidou Star Domain.

Time flies.

Since the conclusion of that peerless, world-shaking God War, decades have already passed.

Of the former Seven Forbidden Zones of Life on the Beidou Ancient Star, six no longer exist; some were incorporated into the Holy Emperor's Dao Chang, some merged into the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Ground, some became the back courtyard of the Purple Mountain Dao Chang.

During this period, the Ba Ti Zujing in the depths of the starry sky also experienced a Supreme battle that shook the world.

Following the Forbidden Zone God War decades ago, the former Dacheng Holy Body Xu Lie reappears in the world.

However, this time, above his head is his Natal Weapon Origin Heaven Treasure Wheel, campaigning against the two former Supremes hibernating on the Ba Ti Zujing, the Dacheng Ba Ti Canglan and Kungu.

In fact.

This campaign differs somewhat from the previous pacification of the Forbidden Zones.

For even in the original trajectory, the Dacheng Ba Ti Canglan ultimately chose to go with the flow and become corrupt, sacrificing all living beings as blood food, but at this moment such a thing has not yet occurred.

Xu Lie's action was more a continuation of the Sheng Huang Zhi Zheng.

When the arch-enemy arrived, Canglan and Kungu broke open the Divine Source and soared into the sky, both with purple hair draped over their shoulders, majestic to the extreme, like peerless overlords reappearing, their courage crowning heaven and earth.

But this battle ultimately held no suspense.

In the tens of thousands of years at the Holy Cliff, such a Heavenly Emperor Dao Chang, Xu Lie's Dao Xing had long since risen a step higher, and finally in the starry sky he struck down these two Ba Ti Zu Lao Zu.

The moment this battle ended, the entire Ba Ti Zujing was filled with wailing cries.

Many experts grieved in anguish and panic; their spiritual pillar had collapsed, even the invincible Ancient Ancestors had died in battle, so what could they use to dominate the star domains? They would inevitably suffer a counterattack.

The spiritual world of the entire ancient star cracked in four directions, suffering a severe shock.

Finally, Xu Lie stood atop an ancestral cliff of that ancient star, powerful Divine Sense spreading out; in an instant, dozens of important figures on this star exploded, turning into blood mist, body and spirit both destroyed, yet he ultimately did not destroy this ancient star, and simply left.

……

Finally.

This day, the Wushi Great Emperor set out.

After leaving behind a supreme, unmatched Heavenly Emperor Level killing intent, he departed Purple Mountain.

A Golden Light Avenue traversed the universe, crossing the endless starry sky in an instant, arriving at the Sheng Ya Dao Chang in the Star Depths.

On that magnificent Dao Platform, Gu Xuan and the Wushi Great Emperor sat facing each other, conversing for a long time.

And then.

They invited the Ruthless Female Emperor.

Also coming along was that Huang, who is the Golden Hair covered Dacheng Holy Body.

In the era when the Void Great Emperor suffered a besiegement, it was he who forcibly appeared, suppressing the Ancient Venerables stirring restlessly in the Immortal Mausoleum, but consequently suffered no small backlash, yet ultimately still survived.

And in this life, the Female Emperor acted, helping him undo the Shackles, simultaneously stabilizing his injuries, and Gu Xuan and Wushi also assisted.

Because this Huang is an existence in Ancient History with great merit to All Living Beings, a respectable senior Supreme; otherwise he could not have gained the Female Emperor's recognition.

After returning to the Sheng Ya Dao Chang.

"Boom!"

Gu Xuan sent out four waves, powerful yet gentle, respectively entering four massive Immortal Sources within the four Black Great Peaks.

If a knowledgeable expert were here, they would surely recognize that the location of these four Immortal Sources was actually the original Busianshan Forbidden Zone!

Obviously.

After that world-shaking God War decades ago, the Busianshan Forbidden Zone had already relocated to the current Sheng Ya Dao Chang, and so had that Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree.

This cannot help but make one sigh with emotion; the Holy Cliff was originally cut from the Busianshan, yet now it has instead taken in its original main body.

"Finally... has it come to this moment?"

From those four massive Immortal Sources, four Ancient Emperor level existences awakened, a trace of bewilderment flashing in their eyes, followed by a surge of excitement.

For they perceived the Divine Sense transmitted by the Holy Emperor, knowing the moment they had waited for had finally arrived!

These four Great Ancient Venerables are naturally the Qilin Ancient Emperor, Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor, Xuanwu Ancient Emperor who appeared in the past, and that Human Race Great Emperor who emerged from the Forbidden Zone.

And not only that.

From the Mountain Gate of the Sheng Ya Dao Chang, a massive Divine Source had also long since shattered open, and from within walked out Dacheng Holy Body Xu Lie, joining the ranks as well.

Under Gu Xuan's persuasion, he ultimately still decided to go to the Strange World.

For in that world, he does not need to Self-Seal with a Divine Source, and can also be together with the Wushi Great Emperor, Void Great Emperor, and others.

And Di Li Si had also long been awakened by the Wushi Great Emperor, setting out from the Beidou Ancient Star's Purple Mountain, traversing the endless starry sky, arriving here.

Although she is already in the Old Age of her Second Life, she still has Black Hair Like Waterfall, bright eyes and white teeth, peerless grace; she is a peerless beauty crowning the Yu Nei.

As a female cultivator who achieved an Alternative Path to Enlightenment, and the Wushi Great Emperor's Dao Companion, she naturally possesses this secret technique for eternally preserving her appearance, and does not lack Qi and Blood; unless she truly reaches the verge of passing away, she will not lose control.

Finally.

After an unknown amount of time.

The group departed the Sheng Ya Dao Chang in a grand procession.

Among them were Holy Emperor Gu Xuan, Wushi Great Emperor, Ruthless Great Emperor, Qilin Ancient Emperor, Xuanwu Ancient Emperor, unnamed Human Race Great Emperor, Dacheng Holy Body Xu Lie, Huang, Di Li Si, and such a half-human half-weapon existence as the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor.

Just like that, a full ten Ancient Emperor Great Emperor level existences appeared in the world, not to wage a great war, but walking side by side in the starry sky, shaking the Great Universe.

This is a spectacle unparalleled from ancient times to the present, one that can almost never reappear throughout Ancient History.

The entire universe trembled, knowing in their hearts that today an extraordinary major event would surely occur, the degree of shock not much weaker than the Forbidden Zone's destruction in the past.

Countless old sages sighed with emotion; being born in this life, they had truly witnessed too many miracles, never daring to imagine, not even in dreams; truly rare and unmatched in the world.

A few breaths later.

The Ying Huo Gu Xing welcomed a group of uninvited guests.

These ten experts merely stood there; even though they had already restrained their auras, this ancient star that had once experienced an Ancient God War still could barely endure, seeming about to collapse.

But the Wushi Great Emperor acted, stabilizing everything.

"This aura... there was once a familiar Imperial Path Supreme who fell here; even Imperial Weapons became fragments."

"A longevity calamity of this intensity has occurred more than once since ancient times; pity he did not listen to my advice back then..."

An Ancient Emperor sighed with emotion, carrying a certain sigh, bearing the flavor of ten thousand ages of vicissitudes, also regret; but he also knew that even if the dissuasion had succeeded, it would still be hard to reverse, for that Dao Friend had hibernated too long, already with little Lifespan left, unless he launched a terrifying Dark Turmoil.

Gu Xuan asked the Female Emperor to act, stabilizing the four directions of the starry sky.

And then the next moment.

"Open!"

He and the Wushi Great Emperor acted together; at this instant, people finally witnessed once more the world-shaking methods of two Heavenly Emperor Level Experts!

This moment.

Brilliant to the extreme light erupted, dazzling to the point of nearly illuminating half the universe; everyone present widened their eyes, gazes incomparably sharp; the ten thousand ages of waiting, the endless anticipation, all exploded at this moment.

As expected!

The Holy Emperor and the Wushi Great Emperor merely threw one punch, and they blasted open the Universe Barrier, piercing out a massive Passage, charging into a strange World.

"This... is that legendary World?"

The several Taigu Royals present, and even Xu Lie, Huang, Di Li Si and the others, were all incomparably excited, everyone trembling slightly.

There, Light Rain danced, Immortal Light shone in Ten Thousand Daos, the Immortal Path's end was broken, connecting to another World.

More importantly, they all Perceived that faint Immortal Dao Essence Among Them!

Although there wasn't too much of it, it was precisely that undying substance, letting even Supreme-level powerhouses like them feel Immortal Ascension, a marvelous sensation like washing the marrow and cutting the essence.

The Wushi Great Emperor entered inside, Guarding that Breakpoint, while Gu Xuan himself propped open this Immortal Path, inviting the crowd behind him to embark on the journey.

The various powerhouses hurriedly entered within, that substance capable of granting undying and Longevity rushed at their faces, making them all unable to help but be Moved, their bodies trembling involuntarily.

"This... truly is such a strange Great World, capable of Reconnecting Severed Path!"

"Fortunate to reach here, I bow in thanks to Dao Friends for your Great Grace and Great Virtue!"

Several Ancient Imperial Dynasty Ancient Emperors prostrated in grand ceremony towards Gu Xuan in thanks, Simultaneously also bowing in thanks to the Wushi Great Emperor and Ruthless Female Emperor, for the gratitude in their hearts was truly deep!

And what shocked the crowd even more was, at the end of the Cheng Xian Tong Dao, they Perceived several somewhat familiar Qi auras.

And then, they even saw those few people's faces, even the Wushi Great Emperor was Moved!
