Chapter 50: The Ten Eternal Forbidden Physiques

The shock of the long sky's fall had not yet fully faded from everyone's hearts, and at a certain moment, a sudden anomaly erupted atop the central Altar!

Buzz——!!!

A vast, sacred wave burst violently from the center of the Altar!

All Heavenly Pride instantly turned their gaze there!

A dazzling, godlike and saintly seven‑colored divine light shot up into the sky, making the entire starry firmament glow with unparalleled splendor!

A sphere about the size of a human head, crystal‑clear, seemingly condensed from the purest Tiandao laws and Primordial energy, slowly emerged from the Altar's center!

It resembled the most perfect artwork in the world, rotating slowly; each minute of rotation emitted a massive energy that stirred souls and loosened cultivation bottlenecks!

Dao Rhythm naturally formed, laws interwoven; it seemed that obtaining it would instantly make one saintly and glimpse eternal mysteries!

Those capable of emitting such aura and causing such phenomenon must be an unimaginable, peerless, fate‑defying opportunity!

"This… is…"

"Could it be… the opportunity left by that legendary Shenzun elder…"

"Dao Fruit! It is the true supreme Dao Fruit!"

"A heavenly great opportunity!"

Many Heavenly Pride erupted in excited, delighted cheers!

After a brief Dead Silence, a full‑blown eruption of madness and greed followed!

Even the monsters of the Supreme Heavenly Realm now had only that enticing Dao Fruit in their eyes!

Balance was shattered in an instant!

"Roar!"

The Great Axe Youth of the War God Heavenly Realm was the first to lose restraint, roaring once and turning into a blood‑red streak toward the Altar!

The ethereal Saintess transformed into blue smoke, moving even faster, heading straight for the Dao Fruit!

The remaining Heavenly Pride, like maddened demons, each displayed their divine powers and rushed forward desperately!

Even the ever‑silent cloaked figures of the Boundless Heavenly Realm turned into several ghostly shadows, silently swooping toward the Altar!

The scene spiraled out of control in an instant!

Only Ye Wuque, at the very moment the Dao Fruit appeared, slightly furrowed his brows!

His formidable spirit cultivation and supreme danger sense allowed him to keenly perceive that beneath the godlike and saintly radiance, a trace of extremely obscure yet chilling… evil and greed was hidden!

Like poison wrapped in a sugar coating!

"Brother Duan! Be careful! Something's off!"

He instantly sent a mental message to the nearby Duan Xiuluo, who was also stirred.

Upon hearing, Duan Xiuluo jolted sharply; trusting Ye Wuque absolutely, they forcibly halted their forward charge.

However, most Heavenly Pride had already been blinded by greed, and the Great Axe Youth who surged forward first already reached out his massive hand toward the Dao Fruit!

At the instant his finger was about to touch—

"Buzz…"

A low, ancient sigh, as if asleep for ten thousand ages, suddenly emanated from within the Dao Fruit!

In the next moment, that dazzling sacred seven‑colored light abruptly turned pitch black as ink!

A surge of violent, chilling, all‑consuming terrifying demonic intent erupted!

On the Dao Fruit's surface, a huge, blurred face—half holy, half twisted—materialized, emitting a soul‑shaking grimace:

"How many years… finally the sufficient delicious blood feast has arrived… a swarm of foolish ants! Become the nourishment for my return!"

Boom!

The pitch‑black Dao Fruit suddenly expanded, turning into a terrifying black hole that devoured everything!

Countless twisted demonic rune tendrils burst out, instantly ensnaring the Great Axe Youth at the front, the ethereal Saintess, and over a dozen other Heavenly Pride!

"No! What is this?!"

"My power! My life source!!"

"Ah! Save me!!"

The screams instantly echoed across the starry sky!

Those Heavenly Pride ensnared by the tendrils withered at a visible speed; their life essence, Dao Foundation cultivation, and even spirit power were ravenously devoured by the black hole!

The Great Axe Youth roared and struggled; his war axe slashed at the tendrils, sparking wildly, yet could not cut through!

The ethereal Saintess's celestial light flickered violently, but she was also corroded by that demonic intent, her complexion turning deathly pale in an instant!

Meanwhile, the few cloaked figures of the Boundless Heavenly Realm, being more vigilant, halted their steps instantly.

But the other weaker Heavenly Pride were not so fortunate; in barely a moment they were completely devoured, leaving not a trace!

Only a few from the Supreme Heavenly Realm remained, still struggling to hold on.

This sudden upheaval terrified the trailing Heavenly Pride, causing their souls to scatter and retreat wildly, their faces filled with boundless fear!

"Demon… Demon Lord! This is a trap!!"

"Run quickly!"

The scene instantly shifted from frantic grabbing to desperate flight!

"Brother Ye! Thanks to your warning."

Duan Xiuluo also turned pale, still shaken; had Ye Wuque not warned, they might have become one of them.

"However, this aura does remind me of a certain forbidden existence!"

Duan Xiuluo's voice continued, carrying an infinite sense of dread and fear.

Ye Wuque asked, "What existence?"

Duan Xiuluo slowly opened his mouth, his tone inexplicable:

"That is a forbidden Dark Being whose name has shaken the ages!"

"He is the source of the demonic path of a certain epoch within this Zhutian Wanjie… his entire demonic cultivation shakes the ancient and dazzles the present! He once overran the Zhutian Wanjie! He is hailed by all the myriad spirits of the world as… the Demon Sovereign!"

Ye Wuque was startled and said:

"What? Demon Sovereign? Isn't this the Shenzun's eternal Great Tomb? Why would a demonic great being be permitted to appear here?"

"Heh heh, Brother Ye, you are unaware of something." Duan Xiuluo continued.

"Because that Shenzun and the Demon Sovereign are, in fact, the same person!"

With those words spoken, even Ye Wuque was left speechless in shock.

This is beyond astonishing and shocking to the world.

Shenzun and the Demon Sovereign are the same individual, yet those two are beings that could never possibly intersect!

One is a supreme god and saint, whose merits partake in creation, whose divine cultivation shakes the ancient and dazzles the present, the embodiment of justice for the Zhutian Wanjie, who has repeatedly, in terrifying cataclysms, boldly intervened despite danger, making unimaginable and indelible great contributions to safeguard the safety of the Nine Heavens Ten Lands!

The other, however, is the ultimate end of the demons of Zhutian! The source of the demonic path of the ancient epoch, cold and ruthless, subjugating all living beings, employing cruel methods, feared by all, having slaughtered countless great worlds!

These two diametrically opposite supreme beings turn out to be the same person.

Ye Wuque's mind and spirit roared endlessly, and then he seemed to recall something—a forbidden constitution he had once seen in a tattered classic…

Duan Xiuluo, seeing Ye Wuque's change of expression, immediately said:

"Exactly… just as Brother Ye thought…"

"One of the Ten Great Forbidden Constitutions of the ages… Shenmo Dati!"

Ye Wuque's eyes flickered violently, his heart exceedingly unsettled.

It turned out to be this forbidden constitution!

No wonder it is so!

"My conjecture is that senior Shenzun was injured in the ancient great war, or perhaps the cultivation of his Shenmo Dati encountered some issue, leading to the present situation!"

"What can be confirmed is that the one currently occupying the dominance of his consciousness should be that… Demon Sovereign!"

"And he is in a state of instinctual bloodthirsty madness!"

Duan Xiuluo's tone and expression undeniably reflected the danger of the current situation.

"It can be said that if the situation here gets out of control and the Demon Sovereign's chaotic consciousness fully revives, not only the eternal Great Tomb but the entire Vast Sky, even the whole Nine Heavens Ten Lands will have to endure an unparalleled terrifying cataclysm!"

Ye Wuque's eyes grew solemn, staring fixedly at that wildly devouring, ever‑escalating demon‑shadow black hole: "No, we must act while the Demon Sovereign's consciousness is still in its weak stage, to stop all this! Summon the Shenzun's consciousness!"

He could see that, though the demon‑shadow aura was strong, it seemed bound by some rule, unable to stray far from the Altar, relying mainly on its devouring force to pull.

We cannot let it continue devouring!

Otherwise, once its power fully recovers, everyone present will die without a place to be buried!
