A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

Page 286

Some were clan feuds, others were personal grudges; as time passed, these grievances had deepened considerably.

However, overall, the ancient world was relatively peaceful, and most creatures maintained restraint.

It wasn't because they were so magnanimous, but because the strongest beings in the ancient world laid the foundation for harmonious coexistence in the original ancient world.

Whether it is the ancestral spirit or the giants such as Liudao and Wuzhong who presided over the meeting of kings, they are all beings with great spirit and vision.

With them in charge of the ancient world's structure, the original ancient world naturally wouldn't be chaotic and plagued by constant internal strife. This made the cultivation atmosphere in the ancient world far superior to other worlds. However, in essence, it was still a world where the strong prey on the weak.

Good seeds of enlightenment are mostly controlled by powerful forces, making it extremely difficult for ordinary beings to obtain them.

Now that the council of kings has ended, all living beings will become comrades-in-arms to fight against the foreign land. The grudges and karmic entanglements that were once suppressed have left the kings with a thorn in their side, which they cannot help but utter. Naturally, this scene has come about.

Many Celestial Kings revealed their killing intent, locking onto their opponents; even if they didn't immediately make a move, they showed that tendency.

Seeing the situation gradually spiraling out of control, Wuzhong and Liudao immediately unleashed their unparalleled power as giants, suppressing the entire arena.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc slowly rotated, and from the six ancient caves within it, which bore witness to the cycle of human reincarnation, terrifying energy spewed out, instantly shocking the kings of the ancient realm.

"With the world on the verge of destruction, let's put aside our past grievances for now. If anyone brings them up again or starts a conflict, don't blame me for being ruthless."

I don't want to repeat myself. The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King unleashed his power, his cold gaze sweeping over every living being present.

Upon seeing this, Wu Zhong sighed inwardly, recalling what Yun Hua had said during their earlier conversation.

Yunhua once said that the internal conflicts in the Primordial Ancient Realm were actually very intense. The relationship between the Immortal Kings was not so harmonious. Only the Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit, Wuzhong, and Liudao, who were on good terms with all parties, were not a cause for concern.

Others could easily break into a fight at the slightest disagreement; they were only temporarily suppressed by the overwhelming power of the ancient realm.

Unfortunately, after the original Immortal Realm was split in two, the Original Ancient Realm and the Immortal Realm took completely different paths.

One world was isolated, living in a natural, peaceful environment where its strength could only grow in limited ways. The other world was constantly merging with the universe and absorbing the beings of the Immortal Kings. Over the long years, the two worlds were now worlds apart in terms of both territory and strength.

The ancient world, living in a peaceful environment, did not actively wage war against other worlds, nor did it have the desire to annex other territories. This led to a certain degree of infighting among the creatures of the ancient world, which resulted in more or less grudges between the kings.

Therefore, Yunhua told Wuzhong that they should try their best to get the kings to put aside their past grievances and unite against the common enemy. Only in this way could they have a chance of winning.

It must be understood that they are facing a foreign land with a highly unified ideology. The unity among the immortal kings is beyond imagination. If they continue to fight against such an enemy with the same attitude as before, they will surely be defeated.

Now, Yunhua's words have come true. Even with Wuzhong and Liudao in charge, the kings almost started fighting.

In this state, they absolutely cannot stop the alien army, because in a territorial war, if you cannot confidently entrust your back to your teammates, then when fighting, you will be timid and hesitant, and you will not be able to exert your full strength.

Liu Dao's roar silenced all other sounds in the hall, including the tense atmosphere.

On one hand, he possessed such power; on the other hand, the kings of the Primordial Ancient Realm were not fools. The strength of the alien realm was known to all, and they did not want the Thirty-Three Heavens to fall and the Mother Realm to be destroyed.

However, some beings still felt that the gathering of all the kings was a bit of an overreaction. The Primordial Ancient Realm was backed by the Immortal Realm, and it was impossible for the alien realm to conquer this realm. Moreover, 310,000 years ago, the alien realm made a big show of force and came to the border, but ended up returning defeated, giving them the illusion that the alien realm was nothing special.

Liu Dao and Wu Zhong could guess what they were thinking with just a glance; their disdainful and sneer could not be hidden from them.

"The foreign lands are plotting something that concerns the secrets of breaking the king. The last time they launched a large-scale attack on the pass was just a test. This time it's completely different. They've come with the intention of destroying our realm. I advise everyone not to be complacent or arrogant."

As for rescue from the Immortal Realm, we cannot count on it; we must rely on ourselves.

"Throughout history, the Immortal Realm has always shared our stance. We are ancient realms of the same origin, and we have a deep-seated hatred for other realms. It is impossible for us to sit idly by and watch our realm be destroyed." An ancient being spoke, one of the Ten Fiends.

"If we can think of this, how could the Otherworld not? According to our intelligence, the Otherworld has already contacted the beings of the Boundary Sea, preparing to join forces with the dark faction's pawns planted in the Immortal Realm to launch a coordinated attack on the Immortal Realm. At that time, the Immortal Realm will be too busy to defend itself. Do you all think they will send a large force to rescue our realm when the dark turmoil breaks out on the Immortal Realm's own territory?" Wu Zhong shouted.

Upon hearing this, the Celestial King-level beings present fell silent, their eyes flashing with unpredictable emotions, and for the first time, they felt a sense of crisis.

The support of the Immortal Realm gave them confidence, but if the Immortal Realm were also attacked, things would be very bad. Everyone looks out for themselves, and the Immortal Realm would definitely prioritize its own interests before worrying about others.

Looking at it this way, the situation was indeed very critical. The kings calmed down, stopped mentioning their grudges, and began to listen to the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King's analysis of the battle situation and the ancient realm's strategy for dealing with it.

Although things seemed to be at peace, Wu Zhong didn't think so. There was a flaw in the Primordial Ancient Realm that needed to be faced and resolved.

Those fierce villains are used to working alone and are all extremely vicious. Suddenly gathering them together to fight a group battle will definitely make them feel abrupt and make it difficult for them to obey orders. If, during the battle, one of the villains acts impulsively, disobeys orders, and gets surrounded by the enemy, that would be terrible.

Yunhua had also emphasized this point, urging the Immortal King Wuzhong to take it seriously, otherwise, it would surely lead to a great disaster.

Therefore, the Immortal King Wuzhong had made preparations in advance and had devised a countermeasure.

Soon after, the meeting of the princes ended. Each prince had his own task, and everything had to be done in secret. Under no circumstances should any information be leaked or the enemy be alerted.

Currently, only two foreign pawns are known: the Fearless Lion of the Ancient Monk lineage and the Ancestor of the Demon Dragon Clan. Besides these, there are definitely other pawns, but a large-scale investigation is no longer possible; it would only alert the foreign realm that something is amiss.

Chapter 622 Immortal King's Blood Oath Alliance

Therefore, many things cannot be delegated to subordinates and must be done personally by the Celestial Kings.

After all, with the Crimson King altering the course of time, only Wu Zhong could see it; even if others browsed the past of living beings, they wouldn't notice anything unusual.

"Everyone, that's pretty much it. Whether the Ancient Realm can survive the crisis of destruction this time depends entirely on you all," said the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King.

The kings responded one after another, their expressions serious.

Just as they stood up, preparing to leave, Wu Zhong suddenly spoke up: "Wait!"

Upon hearing this, the kings immediately stopped and looked towards the Immortal King Wuzhong.

"I'm calling you all back. I don't mean anything by it, but to ensure this battle goes smoothly, mere verbal promises are not enough."

"A thousand-mile dike can be breached by a single hole. Anyone's negligence or misjudgment could endanger your comrades. Therefore, everyone must sign this blood oath." Wu Zhong took out a divine decree that shone with celestial light and placed it before the kings.

The decree was permeated with terrifying Dao rules, so powerful that even the Immortal King slightly changed his expression.

The decree was hazy and chaotic, resembling a vast world or a boundless ocean, with the faint outline of chains of rules pulsating within it.

Seeing this, the kings' expressions turned solemn, because these chains of rules were formed by the terrifying power of cause and effect. If one dripped their blood on the decree and signed an oath, then if they violated the contents of the decree, even a powerful immortal king would be devoured by these chains of rules. In severe cases, they would perish on the spot, and in mild cases, they would be crippled and left half-dead for several eras.

With each drop of a Celestial King's essence blood, the binding force of the rule chains grew stronger. With so many Celestial Kings present, it was unimaginable how powerful this decree would become.

Without saying a word, Wu Zhong forced out a drop of the giant's essence blood and dripped it into the decree. Instantly, chaos churned and the chains of rules rattled.

Seeing this, Liu Dao did the same. As leaders of the ancient realm, they naturally should set an example.

With the two giants taking the lead, the kings of the Primordial Ancient Realm all dripped their essence blood into the decree.

True Dragon, King of Heaven and Earth, Second Under Heaven, Immortal Golden Daoist...

Yunhua and the other three also dripped in the essence blood of the Immortal King. Their essence blood, filled with the Great Dao of Life, attracted the attention of the other kings. The Willow Tree, the Azure Lotus Immortal King, and Jiuye knew this, but they did not expect that the mysterious Yunhua was also an Immortal King who had achieved immortality through plants. They just did not know what his roots were.

Yunhua never manifested the true form of the World Tree, mainly because it was simply too incredible for a World Tree to become a king. The World Trees of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths themselves had no consciousness, only some instincts, which is why they were felled by the alien realm.

When all the Celestial Kings joined the oath, Wu Zhong closed the decree and then chanted an ancient incantation.

The next moment, the decree burst into flames with a "boom," releasing boundless causal power. Before all the Celestial Kings, it burned to ashes and vanished without a trace.

The kings sensed that a mysterious force was emerging, surrounding them and restraining their every word and action.

Now, even if they have grudges against each other, they can't afford to lash out and start a fight.

With the power of the law in place, the kings must strictly abide by its contents; otherwise, what awaits them is the abyss and hell.

“Your Majesty, a True Immortal has found something that appears to be an ancestral artifact of our realm. Please, Your Majesties, take a look.” A True Immortal attendant entered, and his words immediately drew the attention of the kings.

"Very good, bring him in." Yunhua had previously sent a large number of True Immortals and Supreme Beings to search for the rotten wooden box, but he didn't expect to find it so quickly.

Soon, a true immortal, with his head bowed, entered the hall where the kings were gathered, carrying a tattered wooden box in both hands.

"Your Majesty, this rotten wooden box seems to be what the otherworldly immortal king has his eye on. Please take a look, as we have been unable to find any clues."

This is an extremely ancient box, very worn and weathered, with many marks and scars.

Yunhua's eyes flickered as she held the box in her hand. Her eyes shone brightly, their light swirling, yet she still couldn't make out the box clearly.

"Sure enough, it's that rotten wooden box that sealed the uncontaminated part of the Corpse Immortal Emperor." Yun Hua's heart stirred slightly as he thought to himself. This box is very mysterious. It seems ordinary, but no matter what method he uses to get inside, it's like throwing a stone into the sea—completely ineffective.

Liu Shen, also curious, took the rotten wooden box and began to examine it with great interest, weighing it in her hands and starting to investigate.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King and Wuzhong also showed great interest, and even the other kings craned their necks, eager to see what was going on.

It is said that this is something even the Immortal King coveted, so naturally they were very interested.

After a long while, the group's eyes flickered, their brows furrowed, but they found nothing.

“Some beings from other realms once said that this might be able to create an Immortal King,” the Stone King suddenly spoke.

"This box seems to be connected to a great cause and effect..."

Suddenly, the kings' expressions changed, and they shivered. Their expressions changed, and they inexplicably wanted to get away from this place.

"Fellow Daoists, have you gained anything?" Wu Zhong secretly transmitted his voice, asking Yun Hua and Liu Shen and the others, but Liu Shen and the others shook their heads.

"Emperor..." Yunhua spoke slowly at this moment...

"Emperor!" said Immortal King Yunhua. "This was left by a true emperor!" This immediately caused everyone's expression to change, revealing an incredulous look.

Throughout history, all kings have shaken the world, but no immortal emperor has left his true name!

The emperor is elusive and unseen!

Throughout history, becoming an emperor has been the ultimate pursuit for all those who reach the Immortal King realm, a breakthrough to another level of existence beyond the King realm.

On the sandy shore of the border sea, there are two faint footprints, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, illuminating the path ahead and inspiring countless people in later generations to rush to the ultimate place and seek the opportunity to become emperor.

However, everyone already knows that those relics were left behind by two emperors! The artifacts from the era of the fallen emperors seem to indicate that an emperor fell during that time.

The ancient Immortal King of the Boundary Sea once said that at the beginning and end of the fall of the Emperors, an Emperor went to the other side of the Boundary Sea to quell the chaos. In the end, neither Emperor appeared again, and more than one Emperor perished. This rotten wooden box is related to the Emperors!

They would never doubt that Yunhua's words were true.

They wondered if this was something left behind by the Emperor, or if the Emperor had not perished and had locked himself in a rotten wooden box to transform and awaken.

The alien realm belongs to the Dark Clan, and they may want this item to allow darkness to corrupt the Emperor who has not yet awakened.

After all, he was a giant among the Immortal Kings, wielding immense authority. Moreover, the actions of the foreign realm were thought-provoking; if it weren't for the fact that he was about to become an Emperor, they certainly wouldn't have acted so recklessly.

"Can it be activated?" The Immortal King Wuzhong asked in an extremely eager voice, his expression trembling. He was shaking because it involved an Emperor, and he could no longer remain calm. His eyes were burning with desire to find out the truth.

Chapter 623 Formation and Journey to the Immortal Realm

"If we take out what's inside, could it create an emperor?" The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King pondered wistfully.

"Do emperors really exist?" The Stone King was somewhat bewildered and could hardly believe it.

"We can't open it. At our current level, we simply can't shake it," Yun Hua chuckled and shook his head. How could the Corpse Immortal Emperor's things be so easily moved?

They all felt regretful, for it was related to the Celestial Emperor, and what a heaven-defying divine object it must have been, but unfortunately they had no chance to know about it or even see it now.

"So it was an artifact belonging to an emperor. Even that quasi-immortal emperor might not be able to open it. No wonder the Dark Immortal King of the Boundary Sea began searching for its whereabouts at the end of the Emperor's Fall." Liu Shen sighed softly.

She revealed the secrets of the late Emperor's Fall: the former King of Darkness had searched for this seemingly insignificant rotten wooden box in a distant era.

Everyone was stunned. The only thing that could make someone at the level of an Immortal King care about was the Great Law of Breaking Through Kings to Become Emperors.

“Indeed, if it is truly an artifact of the Immortal Emperor, it is likely involved in a great karmic connection and should not be touched lightly,” said the Immortal King Wuzhong. The Immortal Emperor’s actions had greatly stimulated him, making it impossible for him to remain calm. Now, thinking back on it carefully, he still felt a bit scared and revealed a look of apprehension.

Of course, this was merely an exchange among the kings, unknown to outsiders. After all, their level was too low to comprehend it, and there was no need for them to know.

Ultimately, the rotten wooden box was sealed in a hidden chaotic world by the four giants Wuzhong, the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, Liu Shen, and Yunhua. They then simultaneously severed their memories of the rotten wooden box. The kings naturally had no objections, since they couldn't figure it out either.

The emperors nodded to Wuzhong and Liudao and left to prepare for the upcoming war.

No one knows when this war will break out, so making preparations as early as possible will prevent us from being caught off guard when the war comes.

Watching the departing figures of the kings, Wuzhong Liudao exchanged a glance and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

In any case, they ultimately managed to integrate the power of the ancient realm into a unified force, preventing the scattered forces from being defeated one by one by the alien realm.

"Thanks to Immortal King Yunhua's intelligence and advice, otherwise we would still be in the dark, completely unaware of the foreign invasion, and unable to unite the kings together," Wuzhong sighed.

"Yes." Liu Dao nodded, very curious about the legendary Immortal King Yunhua, wondering what kind of extraordinary person he was.

If it weren't for Yunhua's repeated emphasis, given Wuzhong Immortal King's personality, he wouldn't have taken the action of using a decree to forcibly restrain the kings.

Now, everything is developing in a positive direction. In terms of unity, the Primitive Ancient Realm is no less than the alien realm. The only gap is in hard power.

“We should also make preparations. To severely damage the main force of the alien realm, we need to mobilize the power of an entire realm to create an unparalleled magic array,” Wu Zhong said.

"Let's take my cycle of reincarnation as the basis," the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King suddenly spoke.

Wu Zhong was somewhat surprised. The Six Paths had spent endless effort and hard work to establish the cycle of reincarnation in the human world. Was it too much of a pity that it was destroyed in the great war?

"Are you sure? After the battle, all those grand formations and boundary gates will be reduced to ashes." Wu Zhong revealed the terrifying outcome.

In the chaotic mist, the figure of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King was very tall, with deep eyes that seemed to be able to see through the past, present and future at a glance.

"It's certain, because this level of human reincarnation has actually reached its end. Continuing further is unlikely to lead to any breakthroughs. Instead, it would violate the taboos of this world, bringing calamity and backlash."

Now, with an imminent invasion from other realms and the ancient realm in imminent danger, it's not easy to come up with a peerless magic array that can help us suppress the main force of the other realms, unless it's the Immortal Realm's Kings' World-Destroying Array, but that's impossible, the Immortal Realm will not give us its trump card.

After much thought, only the cycle of human reincarnation can fulfill this duty.
