Why is the world described above the deepest cave entrance of the Ultimate Ancient Land as "above the heavens"?
Because in the most ancient times, the Ultimate Ancient Land was called the Heavenly Realm by all living beings in the Boundary Sea.
A world that transcends the heavens is above the heavens.
At that time, it was the beginning of the creation of the Boundary Sea. The world here was prosperous, and all races competed for power. As time went by, it developed to its peak.
And the heavens are the most prosperous place in the Boundary Sea.
True immortal lineages are everywhere, but only immortal king lineages can be considered truly powerful. Their brilliance reaches its pinnacle.
Emperor Bone Brother grew up during that time, step by step reaching the pinnacle of the Boundary Sea, and finally, with a leap of his might, proved himself to be an Immortal Emperor.
That must have been an incredible, almost mythical experience.
If the experiences of each Celestial Emperor were recorded in their entirety, future generations would feel as if they were reading a mythological story.
If nothing unexpected happens, and a Celestial Emperor is born in the Boundary Sea, then the Boundary Sea will become famous throughout the heavens and earth as time goes by.
It will become the highest realm, revered by countless people.
Unfortunately, when Emperor Bone became emperor, he was corrupted by schemes and fell into darkness.
A Celestial Emperor who has fallen into darkness will naturally struggle. Darkness and light coexist, chaos and reason clash.
At that time, even the slightest leak of Emperor Bone's aura would have been devastating for the once ultimate ancient land.
Not to mention that once Emperor Bone's dark side gained the upper hand, the dark matter he exhaled with a single breath could wipe out all life in the Ultimate Ancient Land.
And so, the once bustling and powerful center of the Boundary Sea—the Heavenly Realm—came to an end.
The Boundary Sea, which should have been eternally glorious because of the birth of a Celestial Emperor, fell from grace in an instant, suffering an unprecedented crisis and devastating blow.
The fall of a Celestial Emperor is terrifying; it could destroy the world.
The days when all races coexisted and all creatures freely competed under the frosty sky are gone.
Chapter 1426 You still say you won't fall into depravity
Countless geniuses, true immortals, and immortal kings perished, and their bodies eventually gave birth to dark primordial spirits.
The name of the heavens gradually disappeared, and the ultimate ancient land appeared in the world.
The power of darkness also began to spread, encroaching upon the Boundary Sea.
Then the Boundary Sea entered an era plagued by darkness, which continues to this day.
After a few steps, Yunhua arrived at the depths of the Ultimate Ancient Land.
There are many ancient temples here, radiating light, and they look quite sacred.
Among them, the largest ancient temple, the Reception Hall, caught Yunhua's attention.
However, there was nothing inside; it was empty.
In the largest ancient temple of reception, there should have been an object enshrined, but that object is now out of reach.
It was a rotten wooden box containing part of Emperor Bone's primordial spirit and flesh.
It was not corrupted by darkness, but rather a pure and flawless part of the primordial spirit and flesh.
That was Emperor Bone's last resort, hoping to use it to escape the darkness, return to clarity, and regain his pure Immortal Emperor body.
Unfortunately, it ultimately failed; the second option was ineffective, and the team lost.
As you walk forward, a bone tablet appears on the ground, inscribed with Taoist script.
The second part of the original true explanation reveals a cultivation method for the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm. If this were placed in the outside world, it would definitely cause turmoil in the Boundary Sea, with countless powerful individuals fighting and killing each other for it.
Unfortunately, it's like a pearl being tarnished here.
Those who have frequently resided here, those who are here now, or those who will come here in the future are all quasi-immortal emperors, so naturally they don't need such a method.
It has some reference value, but not much overall value.
At this moment, in the deepest part of the ultimate ancient land, endless black mist rolled and rose, blotting out the sky and the sun. It was terrifying; even a wisp of fluctuation made people feel extremely oppressed.
There, amidst the black mist, a broken stone tablet loomed, inscribed with Daoist runes. Anyone who saw it and possessed sufficient cultivation could understand its meaning.
The opportunity that led to Emperor Cheng's rise to power. This is what the Daoist text meant.
With a glint in his eye, he could see through time. The Old Man of Annihilation and his companions had once lingered here, hoping to obtain this "opportunity to become an emperor."
Yunhua walked into the deepest part of the ultimate ancient land, where endless dark matter erupted out. It was so dense that it was even more terrifying than the dark matter on the body of the World Destroyer.
It can be considered the origin of dark matter.
But within these dark substances, there are also numerous symbols of the Great Dao.
These are all scriptures at the level of Celestial Emperors.
Yunhua absorbed these symbols of the Great Dao and sensed the Great Dao of the Supreme Immortal Emperor from them.
Why did he rush here after suppressing the two Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors?
Besides because he didn't have much time, it was also because he wanted to spend all the remaining time here.
Opportunities to come into contact with the Immortal Emperor's Great Dao and Immortal Emperor's Scriptures are rare, making this a very special opportunity.
In the original storyline, after Shi Hao completed a transformation, he entered the Ultimate Ancient Land, where he deduced the prototype of an unparalleled divine law.
That is, the Dharma of the Self-Transforming Emperor.
This shows just how precious the Immortal Emperor's scriptures contained within these dark substances are.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this the greatest cultivation opportunity in the entire realm. Spending the last of our time here is clearly more worthwhile.
Yunhua continued forward, venturing deeper into the darkness. The further she went, the denser the dark matter became, which also meant there were more Immortal Emperor scriptures.
Finally, Yunhua saw a dark light that covered a vast territory.
After glancing at the dark light, Yunhua looked away, not wanting to focus on what was inside.
If he were to examine what was inside, his gaze would awaken him. He would even sense Yunhua's arrival.
But it's okay, even if he reacts and wants to wake up, it will still take some time.
Yunhua's most important task is to comprehend the Immortal Emperor's scriptures. This will greatly benefit the perfection of the Emperor's Law.
Yunhua stopped here, lingering to refine large amounts of dark matter in order to obtain the Immortal Emperor's scriptures contained within.
If the Old Man of Destruction and his ilk saw this, they would surely laugh three times. And you still say you won't fall into depravity!
In an instant, Yunhua refined a large amount of dark matter in order to obtain the Immortal Emperor's Scripture within it.
Even the Old Man Who Destroys the World would recognize him and call him an expert.
Before they fell into corruption, they didn't refine as much dark matter in a single batch as Yunhua.
They must be eager to keep them company. To obtain the Immortal Emperor's Scriptures, one must be corrupted by dark matter.
At the same time, one's own vital energy will also be lost and absorbed by dark matter, which will be used to dilute the dark matter.
Yunhua sacrificed her pure essence and endured the corruption of darkness in order to obtain the Immortal Emperor's Scripture.
This is an equal exchange.
Unrestrained and excessive refining of dark matter will naturally lead to a significantly increased rate of self-corruption, resulting in a rapid descent into depravity.
Of course, a Quasi-Immortal Emperor's resistance is still very strong, and it would take a very long time to completely erode a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
When the Old Man of Annihilation and his companions first began absorbing the Immortal Emperor's scriptures, they were very cautious, refining only a small amount of dark matter each time.
But they can't withstand the long time it takes them to absorb dark matter.
Over countless years, even if only one drop of dark matter is refined each day, it would still amount to an enormous quantity.
Furthermore, you were able to control yourself at first when it came to refining dark matter.
As time went on, the amount of dark matter refined increased, and the erosion became deeper and deeper, eventually becoming unstoppable.
By the time the Old Man of Destruction reached that point, his very essence had been replaced by darkness, to the point where he was completely indifferent.
As long as you retain your own will, that's fine.
Given Yunhua's current level of refining, if this continues for a long time, falling into darkness is only a matter of time.
However, Yun Hua also had a clear idea in his mind, and he couldn't stay here for too long to refine the dark matter.
At this moment, Yunhua was immersed in the Immortal Emperor's scriptures, gaining a great deal, and inspiration kept emerging.
The closer you get to Emperor Bone's location, the more Immortal Emperor scriptures you'll find in the dark matter.
Soon after, Yun Hua's aura suddenly expanded, and some of the dark matter was expelled from his body.
Since it can be polluted and eroded, it can also be purified and discharged.
However, Yunhua's essence and spirit were also absorbed by the dark source. Although the amount was very small and insignificant, it was still a loss.
This made Yunhua frown, feeling that a change was needed.
He only wanted the Immortal Emperor's scriptures, but was unwilling to give up his own pure essence.
He can purify most of the dark matter from its corruption, after all, he has a deep understanding of dark power.
The erosion wasn't a big problem. But being forcibly exchanged for pure essence was something Yunhua wasn't happy about.
He wants the Immortal Emperor's scriptures, but he cannot give him the pure essence.
In the past, the Elder of Annihilation and others did not exchange their own pure essence for the Immortal Emperor's scriptures.
Chapter 1427 Awakening
In each era, they instigated a dark upheaval, plunging all living beings into darkness, transforming them into children of darkness.
Then, large numbers of the Dark People were brought here and sacrificed, their pure essence exchanged for the Immortal Emperor's scriptures.
The Elders of Destruction and their ilk only need to endure the erosion of dark matter, without losing their own essence, energy, and spirit.
This is the truth behind the endless darkness and turmoil throughout history.
It was all because several quasi-immortal emperors were pursuing their own selfish desires in the path of the immortal emperor.
Yunhua was unwilling to have his pure essence drained by the source of darkness, so he certainly wouldn't instigate a dark upheaval.
Ultimately, it all comes down to one's own methods, to forging oneself into an incredibly hard piece of iron.
Yunhua's state underwent a subtle change; she no longer connected with the outside world and locked herself away.
If Emperor Bone Brother were to personally take action and actively spread the dark matter, it would naturally be all-pervasive, and even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor would be instantly corrupted.
But now he is in a state between life and death, and he is missing part of his physical body and primordial spirit. He has no consciousness, so there is some room for maneuver.
The dark origin continuously poured into Yunhua's body, where it was refined by Yunhua. One by one, the symbols of the Great Dao formed sections of Immortal Emperor scriptures, which flowed through Yunhua's heart.
Yun Hua glimpsed even a small part of the Immortal Emperor's Path, which can only be described as worthy of the Immortal Emperor's Path, the highest of all heavens, and indeed yielded great gains.
It seemed to offer a glimpse into the path of the emperor, a vision of the day one could cultivate oneself into an immortal emperor, giving hope to those who were refining dark matter.
No wonder the Old Man Who Destroyed the World and his ilk couldn't help but fall into depravity.
After they became quasi-immortal emperors, they made some progress, but then they stopped making any further progress.
For thousands of epochs, tens of thousands of epochs, there has been no progress; every epoch has remained stagnant.
After coming into contact with the dark power, it was as if they had glimpsed the path to becoming an immortal emperor.
Anyone would be confused in that situation; who could resist?
After a thousand years, Yunhua awoke from the darkness.
Over the course of a thousand years, Yunhua refined a massive amount of dark matter, obtained many sections of Immortal Emperor scriptures, greatly improved his cultivation, and has already seen the hope of further fusion with the Dao Fruit.
If it weren't for the fact that each step forward in the Immortal Emperor realm requires a significant amount of time, and a thousand years wouldn't be enough to sustain his transformation, he would have already taken another step forward.
The profound mysteries of the Great Way also yield extraordinary gains, a glimpse into the whole picture through a small part.
But that's the limit. The limit for the duration of the stay has been reached.
Yunhua could feel the rejection of this era from him, and a powerful force was pulling him away.
Although Yunhua didn't have much time left a thousand years ago, he still managed to extend it by another thousand years to comprehend the Immortal Emperor's scriptures.
A thousand years is indeed not much for a quasi-immortal emperor; it is extremely short.
