Jiang Xuan

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a sigh rang out, and four strands of divine light — red, green, black, and white — appeared out of thin air.

In an instant, heaven and earth seemed to be clenched in an invisible giant hand, a tide of murderous qi surged and swept across, and all things in the world were crushed to dust.

In the depths of the universe's wasteland, a sword cry suddenly rang out; the spiritual awareness of four Supremes was struck as if by thunder, frantically warning them, their hearts instantly gripped by fear.

Like an abyss, like a prison, deep and bottomless, thick and impossible to dissolve.

"Danger!"

This horrifying thought flashed through the hearts of the four Supremes like lightning.

Without time to ponder, they instantly resolved themselves; their Emperor Dao Origin burned with a boom, they sublimated to the extreme, like brilliant meteors streaking across the night sky, charging toward the void with all their might. Though they knew doing so would inevitably inflict severe damage on their own vitality, causing them to wither like fallen flowers, their life force fading, with life and death hanging by a thread, there was no leisure to weigh pros and cons.

In their hearts surged a strong ominous premonition: if they hesitated even a fraction, their body and soul would be annihilated, forever falling into nothingness.

In the deep starry sky, light radiated in all directions, bearing the engraved traces of peerless divine swords, crisscrossing and interweaving, forming a magnificent initial divine diagram that seemed to contain the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.

It was actually a grand killing array that made one's hair stand on end, terrifying beyond compare.

Vast killing intent, like a primeval flood, permeated the six harmonies and eight wastelands, sealing heaven, earth, and the cosmos so tightly that not even water could leak through.

The four Supremes exhausted every means at their disposal, yet like ants trying to shake a tree, they could not budge it a single bit, merely trapped helplessly in this inescapable cage.

The vast starry sky seemed to have become one with it, transforming into a domain of peerless beauty and peerless lethality, as if a peerless Demon Lord had descended, concealing world-destroying sharpness.

Sword cries howled at the heavens, nine heavens' divine thunder exploded; four streaks of sword light — green, black, red, and white — like the primordial chaos holy radiance that split heaven and earth.

Four streaks of sword light, like four immortal heavenly swords propping up the universe and the cosmos, stood tall over heaven and earth, their might towering over ten thousand ages.

The green sword light was ethereal and illusory; the River of Time froze, all phenomena slowed, all things shed their splendor; it grasped the wheel of years, mastered the withering and flourishing of life and death.

The black sword light was profound and boundless, suspended high above the peak of Primordial Chaos Hongmeng, pervading the universal void, penetrating the Three Thousand Worlds; it controlled life and death, adjudicated fate.

The red sword light was vast and majestic, like the energy origin of heaven's mystery and earth's yellow, evolving all things, nurturing all laws; it established the heart of heaven and earth, enacted laws for living beings, mastered the creation of Qian and Kun.

The pure white sword light was pure and vast, like the Primordial True Form of the material world, shattering the myriad phenomena of Qian and Kun, returning to Primordial Chaos Hongmeng.

The four streaks of sword light stood proudly erect, bracing the giant arms of the heavenly vault. In an instant, boundless four-colored sword light surged and howled forth, intertwining and entangling, like spirit snakes dancing, like flood dragons coiling.

All phenomena of heaven and earth were swept into this violent vortex; time and space inverted, order collapsed.

The River of Time and spatial dimensions intertwined in chaos; material entities and energy torrents collided and fused, enacting an apocalyptic scene.

The hearts of all living beings were shrouded in gloom; fear and despair spread, as if the next moment they would be swallowed by this endless darkness, forever falling into the silent abyss, never to recover through ten thousand kalpas.

Zhu Xian Sword Array!

Having comprehended many Emperor Dao laws, Jiang Xuan finally cultivated the last Time Killing Sword; with a thought he could deploy it.

In an instant, the Supremes in the Forbidden Zones, as well as the Quasi-Emperor orthodoxies, Ancient Aristocratic Families, and various other forces peering at the starry sky's supreme array through a dharma formation, were all enveloped by an indescribable fear.

That sword array was like the source of destruction of heaven and earth's end times; the moment it appeared, everyone seemed to see Qian and Kun collapse, all things wither; their hearts and souls nearly devoured by that endless silence and desolation, falling into eternal darkness.

This array seemed the concrete embodiment of the Dao of heaven and earth's final destruction, its might towering over ten thousand ages, intimidating the myriad heavens.

The crowd regained their senses, their hearts filled with shock; just what kind of divine ability was this array?

Was it a Forbidden Divine Ability or a Supreme Killing Array?

Suddenly, green, white, red, and black Sword Qi crisscrossed, appearing directly from every corner of the universe; killing intent reached its zenith; matter annihilated, space-time overturned, energy rampaged, exterminating everything!

"What secret art is this!" Shi Huang exclaimed in horror; at this moment he felt like a tiny broken boat in a vast sea, about to capsize at any moment!

"This is a formation?"

"How could there be such a terrifying formation?!"

The four Ancient Supremes could not believe this feeling; they felt that ever since this formation appeared, their heads seemed to have already soared into the sky!

"You four, to die in this formation today — your trip to this world was not in vain!" Jiang Xuan looked at the four Supremes and said faintly.

In the depths of the starry sky, the four-colored sword lights of red, green, black, and white, like world-destroying radiance, rampaged freely; time curled up, the void collapsed, energy boiled, matter was churned to powder like minced meat, all phenomena met their end, returning to nothingness.

The four Supremes were as if fallen into Avici Hell; the apocalyptic scene unfolded before their eyes; all around remained only a vast expanse of white, dead silence.

Time, space, matter, energy intertwined and entangled; earth, water, fire, wind were refined and fused anew.

An unprecedented sense of death crisis swept over them; the four Supremes were terrified to the extreme, already driven mad, burning their own Emperor Dao Origin without regard for anything.

The Extreme Dao Emperor Soldiers in their hands were likewise madly activated, erupting with brilliant yet desperate light, attempting to pierce through this terrifying grand array that was like a Heaven and Earth Net with peerless power.

The power of destruction was endless, containing the Supreme Truth of ending all things in heaven and earth; the four Supremes' efforts were like ants shaking a tree, leaving only tragic heroism.

In merely a few breaths, the attacks launched from the Supreme Artifacts in their hands were ground away by the power of termination, thoroughly dissipating.

Neither copper nor iron nor steel, once hidden beneath Mount Sumeru; not refined by inverting yin and yang, how could water and fire temper its edge? Zhu Xian is sharp, Lu Xian perishes, Xian Xian rises with red light in all directions, Jue Xian transforms with infinite marvels; Great Luo Golden Immortals stain their robes with blood.

After the Zhu Xian Sword Array was deployed, in the universe, a Life Ancient Star trembled, a sword cry resonated with the sword array, attracting Jiang Xuan's gaze.

"We are willing to retreat!" Shi Huang shouted; he sensed a life-and-death crisis; even he, who had watched the vicissitudes of a great era, began to panic.

"We can swear a Primordial Spirit Oath: for a million years we will absolutely not launch a Dark Turmoil! Heaven and Earth's Great Dao shall bear witness to this oath!" Qi Tian Supreme coughed blood while shouting; he was afraid; this sword array was too extraordinary, he could no longer endure it.

"We can also impart our Emperor Scripture experience without reservation!"

"Spare my life!"

The moment the last Ancient Supreme's words fell, the universe went silent; the other three Supremes glared in anger — how could you be so spineless, directly begging for mercy?

"No"

Roar after roar rang out; one Supreme after another was thoroughly ground away by the power of destruction; their Emperor Bodies turned to powder, their Primordial Spirits dissipated, directly erased by the grand array.

The starry sky trembled; endless blood rain drifted through the starry sky.

Simultaneously, in the starry sky of the Outer Regions, bright stars fell one after another; the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths all witnessed heaven-shaking anomalies.

This is the sorrow of heaven and earth for the fall of the strongest.

Seeing this scene, everyone was speechless, and an unbelievable thought arose in their hearts.

At this instant, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were as if time had frozen, falling into a deathly silence. All living beings were as if cursed by an ancient demon god, their souls trembling, their minds blank, their thoughts stagnant, leaving only endless awe and panic spreading in their hearts.

Four Ancient Supremes have fallen!

In this era, the Qing Emperor Great Dao suppresses, and no one proves the Dao.

But today, they witnessed with their own eyes the scene of one who has not proven the Dao slaying an Ancient Emperor Great Emperor.

In the Zhu Xian Sword Array, the auras of the four Ancient Supremes gradually fell to the bottom, perceptible by the entire universe.

Everyone held their breath, knowing a miracle was about to happen, a myth was about to be created!

Slaying Emperor!

Without any accident, after four shocking sword cries, there was no more vitality in the killing array!

"Heavenly Emperor!"

Wave after wave of shouting came from the universe, everyone shouting, calling the Heavenly Emperor.

Even without proving the Dao, one can be called the Heavenly Emperor!

Unique in Ten Thousand Ages!

This is a storm unprecedented, its power beyond imagination, actually crossing endless time and space, transmitting to the Mortal Realm, so that even ignorant children know Jiang Xuan's name.

Heaven and Earth are in clamor, the Ten Desolations Land trembles along with it.

It can be certain that in the future ten thousand years, the universe will fall into long-lasting calm.

"Better to enjoy peace in times of peace than to undergo calamity in chaotic times," the tragic state of the Dark Turmoil has made the people of the world deeply realize this truth.

Born in the current era, it can be called extremely lucky.

"The Shang Cang blesses the world, the Heavenly Emperor triumphs, the Dark Turmoil is pacified!"

"Jiang Heavenly Emperor Invincible!"

"The Heavenly Emperor's divine might is mighty!"

"Jiang Heavenly Emperor Unrivaled!"

Cheers rose and fell from all sides.

"Will he have a decisive battle with the Ancient Supremes?"

The world is in discussion, without peace.

Everyone speculated that Jiang Xuan alone slaughtered several Supremes, unrivaled under heaven, this time he will surely challenge the Life Forbidden Zone, and he possesses such powerful strength.

Everyone felt that a huge storm that would shock the world was about to come!

"Perhaps, this world can truly pacify the Forbidden Zone completely."

"Not necessarily, the Life Forbidden Zone is mysterious and unpredictable, even Wushi Great Emperor and Qing Di could not conquer it, only able to choose compromise."

"The current Heavenly Emperor slays Supremes without proving the Dao, what is the Life Forbidden Zone before him?" someone raised an objection.

"This statement is wrong, all things value harmony. I reckon the Heavenly Emperor will surely consider everything comprehensively, not necessarily starting a great war immediately." said an old man, this is the Great Sage Hun Tuo, famous in the Ancient Clan.

"Bad luck, the God of Misfortune has prophesied again. That guy is a jinx, every prophecy will backfire, I think this time the Life Forbidden Zone will face great disaster, if I were a Supreme, I would definitely eliminate this jinx first!"

"Seeing the God of Misfortune so calm, not fleeing for his life quickly, whoever meets him will suffer misfortune." an old cultivator panicked, fleeing in a sorry state.

The appearance of a Great Emperor is enough to open an era of dominating Qian Kun and shining gloriously, but if the Heavenly Emperor descends to the mortal world, what kind of stormy waves will he stir up, and what kind of legendary tale shocking ancient and modern times will he forge?

In the long river of ages, those who can be called the Heavenly Emperor Title are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, countable on one's fingers. The arrival of every Heavenly Emperor is accompanied by the reshaping of heaven and earth rules and the change of Qian Kun order.

Today, Jiang Heavenly Emperor stands proudly in the world, his prestige far and wide. Although he has not yet proven the Dao, he has already displayed a peerless appearance, several Supremes have fallen with hatred under his hands.

Such a feat, unparalleled in ancient and modern times, unheard of.

The entire universe holds its breath, looking forward to it.

"In the past ages, a supreme existence that transcends the mortal and becomes a saint and shakes the universe has appeared out of nowhere! Forget it, forget it, I will still seal myself and fall into slumber."

A Supreme sighed faintly, his words full of desolation and helplessness.

The glorious years of the past emerged in his mind, back then he was high-spirited, standing at the forefront of the tide, dominating life and death, controlling Qian Kun.

But now, to survive, he cut himself with one knife, past glory is gone, only endless desolation and sorrow remain.

Thinking of Jiang Xuan's peerless divine might, a chill he could not suppress surged in his heart.

He would rather fall into that endless darkness, lonely and cold slumber, than meet Jiang Xuan in this world.

Jiang Xuan strides in the universe, he does not need to conceal his aura at all, he can look down on Tianxia, even look down on the Life Forbidden Zone.

"Congratulations Dao Friend! Perhaps, I should call you Jiang Heavenly Emperor!"

Ji Xuan's voice came from the Star Sky, quite emotional. He also defeated the God Ruins Master and lived a second life.

"Dao Friend Ji, I wish to tour the universe, I wonder if you are willing to go with me?" Jiang Xuan sincerely invited, for Ji Xuan's act of sacrificing his life for righteousness, he naturally held deep respect in his heart.

"I just want to see the Heavenly Emperor's peerless demeanor!" Ji Xuan laughed loudly, his voice shaking heaven and earth.

Stars twinkle, brilliant starlight recedes backward. A blazing rainbow bridge rises from the ground, spanning the vast universe, crossing the Ten Thousand Domains, heading toward a distant star land.

Jiang Xuan steps out, Qian Kun reverses, stars shift and constellations change, heaven and earth change along with it. And the Immortal Divine Medicine transformed by Ji Xuan, like a brilliant streak of light, closely follows behind him.

"Where exactly is the Heavenly Emperor going... Could it be the Hegemonic Body Ancestral Star?" someone with sharp eyes saw the star domain the golden light pointed to, and instantly guessed Jiang Xuan's destination.

As expected, a golden great road like a golden dragon winds and stretches, unknown how many star systems it penetrates, straight rushing toward the star river where the Hegemonic Body Ancestral Star is located.

Its momentum is upright and aboveboard, without any intention of concealment, obviously Jiang Xuan this time is openly coming to conquer.

Hegemonic Body Ancestral Star, a huge star with extraordinary aura. After experiencing countless calamities, it always stands proudly, indestructible and immortal. On the star body, Dao Traces unique to the Dominant Body lineage are inscribed, and because of this, any external Dao Fruit power will be subjected to strong suppression here. Ordinary cultivators often fear this and dare not approach easily, here it is difficult to display their true combat power, as if a dragon trapped in shallow water.

Jiang Xuan's aura descends, the entire Hegemonic Body Ancestral Star trembles violently, emitting bursts of rumbling sounds.

"It is the Heavenly Emperor! The Heavenly Emperor is here!!"

"The Heavenly Emperor must be angry! He must be blaming the Dominant Body Clan for participating in the Dark Turmoil, coming to purge them!" The living beings on the Hegemonic Body Ancestral Star all truly felt the supreme pressure from the Great Emperor, all trembling all over, legs weak, kneeling on the ground one after another, panicked and uneasy.

At the edge of the sky, clouds of fire spread wantonly, colors like fresh blood splattered on brocade, revealing a touch of tragic beauty. Five moons hang high in the air, shedding cold and secluded radiance, full of killing intent.

Jiang Xuan stood tall and straight on the cliff edge. Beneath his feet, a vast waterfall poured down like an inverted Milky Way, its roaring boom resounding through heaven and earth. On the great earth, lush vegetation flourished, and amid it savage beasts ran rampant, the law of the weak becoming prey to the strong displayed to its fullest. Jiang Xuan slightly closed his eyes; his divine sense surged out like a tide, and in a mere instant he perceived the precise location of the Dominant Body Ancestral Cave.

At his side, Ji Xuan's voice came forth: "The Tyrant Body — this is one of the strongest physiques ancient and modern, enough to contend with the Holy Body, and even more so, can face a Supreme without falling short. Alas, the Human Race's Holy Bodies throughout history all harbored great righteousness; to suppress the Dark Turmoil they did not hesitate to spill their blood on the frontier. Looking back at the Tyrant Body, yet there remain several old fossils surviving in the world."

Back then Ji Xuan, with the posture of an Unorthodox Path to Enlightenment, roamed heaven and earth, and knew these hidden past events like the back of his hand.

Where Jiang Xuan's gaze reached, the mountain body seemed like fragile sand sculptures, crumbling layer by layer, raising dust that filled the sky. His unmatched powerful aura, like a surging storm, instantly swept across this vast great earth. For a while, all living beings wailed; whether birds soaring in the sky, or beasts running on the great earth, or even humans on the Hegemonic Body Ancestral Star, all could not bear this might, trembling and their legs going soft, collapsing to the ground. Even though supreme-grade unsurpassed array patterns were laid here, before the Heavenly Emperor's unsurpassed majesty they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, not worth mentioning.

"Heavenly Emperor, we did not participate in the Dark Turmoil!" From within the Dominant Body Ancestral Cave, a panic-stricken voice transmitted with difficulty.

Once this voice emerged, countless gazes secretly watching the movements here instantly focused, and then an uproar arose.

Everyone knew the Tyrant Body was openly yielding. But thinking carefully, what choice did they have?

This Heavenly Emperor before them, even before proving the Dao had already killed several Supremes; once he achieves Enlightenment, just how strong he will ultimately be is simply beyond imagination.

Not to mention two Tyrant Bodies — even adding two more, before the Heavenly Emperor they would likewise be like ants, without any power to resist.
