If Shi Hao hadn't had the Dao Fruit to take his place and the Reincarnation Seal on his body, he would have already died under the guillotine at the Execution Platform.
Of course, not just anyone can activate the Execution Platform; it's too demanding.
The Azure Emperor stood amidst the lightning tribulation, unharmed by the thunder. His peak had passed; the Azure Emperor had experienced too much and endured enough hardship, proving some things.
He is qualified to forge a new path. At this point, the creation calamity is indeed coming to an end!
However, the Azure Emperor's condition was not good. His once bright eyes had dimmed, his body was broken and riddled with wounds, some so deep that the bone was visible.
The primordial spirit flickered intermittently, leaving behind traces; upon closer inspection, these were cracks.
The world inside my body was hazy, as if it were about to return to its original state and collapse again.
This injury could be considered a fundamental breach; if not handled properly, the Azure Emperor will not be able to achieve the best possible outcome.
Although the Azure Emperor was powerful, he was ultimately no match for the Creation Tribulation.
To pass the Tribulation of Creation relatively easily, one's combat strength must be dozens of tribulations ahead of one's cultivation level.
"Good fortune will come after hardship." Yunhua was not worried about the Azure Emperor at all. Heaven and earth are fair. If you survive the calamity and death, and gain its approval, good fortune will naturally come your way.
At that moment, deep in the sky, a divine pool appeared vaguely, very blurry, as if it were covered by something, making it impossible to see clearly.
Those still in the ancient Heavenly Court's old territory were all looking at that pool. A few crystal-clear drops of liquid fell into it, and the Azure Emperor decisively grabbed them and swallowed them.
He didn't know what it was, but he knew it was good stuff.
When the liquid first touched his lips, he felt his primordial spirit relax a bit. After it was brought to his mouth, his whole body began to glow, and a powerful and mysterious Daoist force permeated his body.
This was not the end. The pool could not possibly only provide a few drops of liquid. It seemed as if an opening had been made, and liquid kept pouring out, all of it falling onto the Azure Emperor.
"Thunder Pool, Thunder Tribulation Liquid".
Yunhua and Xiaoshitou's voices rang out simultaneously, revealing the names of these two divine objects.
The Azure Emperor's broken bones were reshaped, his flesh and blood grew back, his primordial spirit shone brightly, the haze within his body dissipated, the world stabilized, and it even showed a tendency to expand.
Chapter 509 The Actions of Heaven
This is the miraculous effect of the Thunder Tribulation Liquid; it is an unparalleled blessing.
For someone at the level of the Azure Emperor, it is extremely effective, and most importantly, it is very beneficial for the future.
After experiencing the amazing effects of the Thunder Tribulation Liquid, the Azure Emperor pondered for a moment and immediately began his transformation.
He was to shed his old body and embrace this new destiny with a completely new appearance.
The lightning tribulation liquid fell continuously, its azure light hazy, mysterious and ancient, containing all the wonders of the world.
Finally, a blue lotus fell from the starry sky, its whereabouts unknown.
That was the remains of the Azure Emperor after his calamity, which he has now shed.
Yunhua glanced at the fallen blue lotus and then paid it no further attention. It was useless, a piece of trash.
"Truly mysterious and unpredictable." Yunhua said softly, gazing at the Thunder Pool, seemingly unconcerned about the Thunder Tribulation Liquid.
There are treasures that could be of great use to him, but they are few and far between.
Such a thing is rare even in the heavens above, and would attract countless people to fight over it.
"Do you know the origin of Thunder Pool?" Yunhua asked.
He always felt that the tribulation lightning in the world of Shrouding the Heavens was too strange, extraordinary, and almost superior to everything else.
He had never encountered such a situation in other parts of the world.
"I don't know." The ruthless man shook his head.
Yunhua was taken aback, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, I wasn't asking you."
Yunhua definitely knows, but the ruthless one doesn't!
The ruthless man stared at Yunhua. Luckily, she was cold-hearted; otherwise, he would have argued with her.
There are only the two of us here. If you don't talk to me, are you talking to a ghost?
Yunhua is really talking to ghosts...
"I don't know either." A voice suddenly rang out, and then Little Stone appeared there. He only realized that Yunhua was talking to him after hearing Yunhua's words.
A normal person would assume that if two people are in a room together, one of them would be talking to the other!
Little Stone was also a little confused. "You didn't call my name, how am I supposed to know you're talking to me!"
"Didn't he leave any information..." Yunhua pondered, and this question reminded Xiaoshitou.
"I remember now, my father once told me something." Little Stone thought for a moment, then recalled, "Someone once said to him that the tribulation lightning might be one of the fundamental forces in this world, the ultimate source, containing great secrets!"
Yunhua nodded; this idea coincided with his own.
I wonder which handsome young man said that; with such unique insights, he must be a peerless hero.
Upon hearing this praise, Shi Hao couldn't help but recall his past experiences.
I was just a child back then...
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Shi Hao stood up, turned his head and looked in one direction. The river of time flowed by, and in Shi Hao's eyes, all the worlds were created and destroyed, and he saw the past and the future.
That place is where the Boundary Sea connects to the heavens, and it is isolated by various secret forces. Even Shi Hao left behind some very secret methods there.
At this moment, in Shi Hao's eyes, there was a group of strange creatures trying to cross over into the realm!
Most importantly, this doesn't happen in the present; it belongs to the future!
Shi Hao's gaze was sharp as lightning. His communication with Yun Hua had produced some reactions, allowing him to see things in the future!
“An imperial edict, a celestial artifact…” Shi Hao’s eyes were deep. “Do you want to find the region where the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are located?”
The Emperor's Decree was used to break Shi Hao's seal, and the Immortal Emperor's Artifact was used to sweep away everything!
"They couldn't find me for so long, so they've resorted to desperate measures?" Shi Hao murmured. This was a glimpse of what might happen in the future, which he had now glimpsed.
This is quite normal. Even the Great Emperor occasionally sees fragmented pieces of the future, let alone Shi Hao.
Of course, what Shi Hao saw was the entire Upper Heavens and the interference of other emperors' powers, which was naturally much more difficult than the Great Emperors of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths seeing fragments of the future.
Shi Hao glanced at Yun Hua, carefully examined his current state, and then made a detailed calculation. Finally, Shi Hao smiled, a smile full of confidence.
He couldn't deduce the specifics of Yunhua, but he could see some general scenes, which already put his mind at ease.
"Heh, if it comes true in the future, a Celestial Emperor artifact won't be able to cause any trouble."
The seal of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is destined to be broken. As long as Shi Hao continues to oppose the strange races, the trouble will only escalate.
Their actions against the Boundary Sea and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have become increasingly large-scale and their methods increasingly intense.
Shi Hao's decision to protect the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was not a wise choice; in fact, he even planned to actively erase all traces and connections of himself in the Boundary Sea.
The different levels of importance that the various realms with the Desolate Heavenly Emperor behind them receive from the strange races are completely different from those with the Desolate Heavenly Emperor behind them, but whose shadow has disappeared.
The fading of Shi Hao's traces is also a form of protection.
"I was planning to take a break, but now I have to show my face." Shi Hao set off, and with his appearance, the focus of the strange race would temporarily shift to him.
Shi Hao, feeling refreshed, continued to wander around the Evil Land, leaving behind his methods while preparing to reveal his whereabouts.
Most of the methods he left behind could not possibly be hidden from the mysterious Immortal Emperor.
But by sacrificing pawns to save the king, there are always some crucial things they won't discover.
Yunhua hadn't heard from Shi Hao for a long time, so she knew he probably wasn't paying attention to this place anymore.
"A high level of cultivation truly allows one to do whatever one wants." Yunhua sighed in the end.
No one knows how far away Shi Hao is from the Boundary Sea, but Shi Hao can still observe everything happening in the Boundary Sea at any time.
For Immortal Emperors, time is not an obstacle, and space is not a barrier; they are almost omnipotent if they so choose.
The most important reason that prevents a Celestial Emperor from exerting near-omnipotent power is always another Celestial Emperor.
For example, the other shore. If there is only one other shore in a lifetime, then it can truly be called omnipotent, and there is nothing it cannot do.
Unless Shi Hao is suppressed one day, or falls into an unpredictable situation and loses contact, the Boundary Sea is no different from being under his nose.
In the original storyline, the battle between Shi Hao and the Corpse Immortal Emperor certainly did not fully demonstrate the power of the Immortal Emperor.
Such power is truly difficult to fully describe in words; they seem utterly inadequate.
Little Stone and Ruthless Man kept a close eye on Yunhua's changes. Although they couldn't understand it, they always felt that there was something wrong with this person.
Shi Hao must have his own reasons for not contacting Xiao Shitou and the others. It could be to protect them, or it could be that he is thinking about things from a father's perspective.
Yunhua has no son, so he naturally cannot understand Shihao's true thoughts, and he cannot even put himself in Shihao's shoes.
The ruthless woman listened to their conversation from the side, unable to interject. Besides, she wasn't the type to talk much with strangers.
Chapter 510 Wushi's Life Hangs in the Balance
However, she also had doubts in her heart. Ruthless probably knew who the Immortal Emperor father of this little stone was. It should be the one that Yunhua often mentioned.
How could Ke Yunhua and that person have such a good relationship?
Yunhua attained enlightenment at almost the same time as her. Although he disappeared for 200,000 years after attaining enlightenment, he reappeared as a mortal with the Dao fruit of his previous life.
Yunhua's growth was then kept under the watchful eye of the ruthless man, who didn't notice anything strange about her.
How exactly did she develop such a deep bond with a Celestial Emperor? Was it during those two hundred thousand years?
Yunhua was about to disappear, though he wanted to continue the conversation. However, if they continued, his henchman Wushi would be killed.
Wu Shi was being chased ahead, but he was still able to handle it.
Then, a true immortal-level figure appeared and attacked Wushi.
That unfortunate True Immortal's Quasi-Immortal King master, and even that Immortal King grandmaster, all became somewhat interested in Wushi.
Wu Shi's performance was too astonishing. Their forces spanned all realms. Not to mention the Immortal Realm, there were countless exceptionally talented cultivators even in the Human Realm alone.
Some even call themselves "Little Immortal Kings," and this has gained the approval of most people.
But even this little immortal king almost had his vomit kicked out when facing Wushi.
Wu Shi was also enraged by these endless pursuits, and even clamored, "If this is a minor immortal king, then can I be one?"
The title "Little Immortal Emperor"?
This was simply earth-shattering, because Wushi's performance was so dazzling that he almost became invincible in the human realm.
However, the reason why the earthquake caused a major upheaval, drew the attention of the True Immortals, and caught the eye of the Immortal King was still something else entirely.
A remnant immortal wanted to capture Wushi to see what secrets he held that allowed him to possess such power.
They even planned to capture Wushi and then claim credit with the Quasi-Immortal King.
This crippled immortal is in a much better situation than that unlucky fellow who wanted to possess Wushidu; at least he can survive on his own.
In comparison, this one is in a better situation than the remnant immortals of the Chaotic Ancient Era.
However, when the remnant immortal found Wushi, the result was that it directly triggered a great storm!
Wu Shi, in his human form, defied the odds and killed the remnant immortals, and in the end, he escaped unscathed!
This astonishing achievement directly shocked several nearby worlds, drawing the attention of countless people.
The realm of immortals absolutely suppresses the realm of humanity, so how could such a thing happen?
Although that immortal was crippled, he was still ranked among the immortals!
What is a human? What is an immortal? At this moment, things seem to have become blurred.
Wu Shi, the Seven-Life Immortal of the Mortal World, could kill a fully-fledged True Immortal, so killing a crippled Immortal was more than enough for him!
Countless people are now curious about Wushi, wanting to find him, eliminate him, recruit him, or simply take a look.
Of course, the fact that Wushi had embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world could not be kept secret. A Celestial King personally visited the battlefield of slaying immortals and retraced the past.
Then they discovered some of the foundations of the Beginningless One. But this only fueled people's curiosity further—the path to immortality in the mortal world!
This is the legendary road!
"So, that's the situation. I have to go now." Yunhua stretched, explained to the ruthless man, then stood up and prepared to leave.
He wanted to hone Wushi's skills, but after the Quasi-Immortal King left the arena, this kind of training lost its meaning.
