"Then I wish you a safe journey, fellow Daoist." Yunhua looked around this world and said, "I see that you only have one Quasi-Immortal King in this world, and your strength still needs to be improved. Let the younger generation train more so that they can share your burdens as soon as possible."
“That’s exactly what I was thinking too. I plan to take him with me this time.”
Yunhua nodded in satisfaction, and took his companion with him. No matter what Wuchen encountered, at least he could save his life.
Then Yunhua left this realm. The darkness was overwhelming, but the Primordial Sea was not made of clay and could not be easily manipulated.
Yunhua is just causing trouble for the dark faction; he's not really going to do anything to turn the tide and utterly defeat the enemy.
Yunhua can't do that yet.
Reality is different. Some things can't be solved by simply unleashing a burst of power. Even when Shi Hao swept away everything, his cultivation level couldn't be too low.
Although Yunhua has a slight advantage, he is not yet the one who can decide the outcome of the war.
It will definitely happen in the future, but not now.
Such a vast primordial sea, with a thorough understanding of the dangers posed by the dark forces and an uncompromising stance, will not be so easily defeated.
This is a protracted war.
After leaving this world, Yunhua stood amidst the storms of the Boundary Sea, with no sign of life, only the floating ruins of one great world after another.
"I don't know if I can even get into the old Heavenly Court grounds..."
This is why Yunhua wants to leave that world and try again. Newly promoted Immortal Kings can enter, but he is not an Immortal King!
Yunhua silently recited the name of this place in her heart, conveying her desire to enter.
Then Yunhua received a response, but before she could even feel happy, her face darkened upon seeing the response she received.
[Want to get in? Say something nice first! How am I supposed to know if you really want to get in if you don't say something nice first!]
The baby will die!
This thing was definitely left behind by Shi Hao, no doubt about it. The current site of the ancient Heavenly Court, the former headquarters of the Heavenly Court, must have been arranged by Shi Hao.
With the Celestial Emperor's abilities, it would be a very simple matter to pull someone from any part of the Boundary Sea into the old land of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
These are things that were not shown in the original storyline of Perfect Era, but the fact that they were not shown does not mean that Shi Hao did not do them.
Whether it was his first departure from the Boundary Sea to the Heavenly Realm, or his later return to dominate the ages and then leave completely, it was impossible for him not to leave behind methods for his relatives, brothers, friends, and subordinates.
A Heavenly Court headquarters that can be accessed at any time, no matter where you are, is obviously a good choice.
"But is this your excuse for messing with me?" Yunhua said angrily. "Do I have to call you Brother Shihao?"
If you want to call me that, although it's not appropriate in terms of seniority, I can barely accept it.
At this moment, Yunhua sensed a chaotic immortal land, which was the former site of the ancient Heavenly Court.
However, Yunhua was somewhat surprised by this response. Could Shi Hao see what I was thinking?
I can't see it, but I can guess.
"You're really awesome!" Yun Hua's tone was a bit sharp. He was certain that Shi Hao had more than just his methods in this old place.
Shi Hao can still control this place! What's responding to him now is definitely not the old place itself!
"Since you praised me, I'll let you in!"
"Who praised you for being great?" Your comprehension skills are really impressive!
Then a mysterious force appeared out of thin air, enveloping Yunhua and taking her to a celestial land. Silently, the place was empty, with only the ceaseless waves rolling.
Meanwhile, in the land of Evil, a handsome young man left the world with his back turned. Although his expression could not be seen, one could imagine that he must have been quite happy.
He was walking so fast he was practically flying! Even the main road seemed to be affected by his mood, becoming incredibly lively.
What does it mean to turn your back on everyone?! (Tactical lean back)
Hey, it feels so good to be cheeky like that.
After a very subtle sense of spatial shift, Yunhua had moved to another place.
This is a chaotic world, vast and boundless, no less than a single Great Realm.
Chapter 498 Ancient Heavenly Court Veteran
This chaotic area was peculiar; the further Yunhua advanced, the more oppressive aura he felt.
Moreover, the further they went, the more the chaos seemed to be dyed, the deeper the color became, and in the depths it was almost pitch black, where Yunhua sensed a dense dark substance.
"So much dark matter? Are you sure this is the old site of the Heavenly Court and not the source of the dark matter? Could it be that the River of Souls and the ancient Underworld have already occupied this area?" Yun Hua frowned, looking at the pitch-black chaos, his surprise growing.
Based on my knowledge of history, this shouldn't be the case.
Suddenly, points of light appeared ahead, and in the darkness of the chaos, points of crimson glow emerged, a truly radiant sight.
Something different has appeared in this strange chaos?
Yunhua immediately became alert; there might be enemies ahead.
He continued forward, each step a fleeting illusion, moving incredibly fast. But as he approached the land of crimson light, Yunhua gradually understood that the crimson glow, bearing the mark of a Celestial King, was actually blood—the blood of a Celestial King.
"Boom!!"
Suddenly, just as Yunhua approached, from a patch of pitch-black chaos not far away, a strange man with disheveled hair and covered in black mist roared and launched a swift attack on Yunhua.
Is this a strange man whose entire body is corrupted by darkness? He is incredibly powerful and is even a Celestial King? But unfortunately, he has completely lost himself, and his whole body exudes a dark aura.
This strange man's long, jet-black hair was all flying around. His fighting style was almost instinctive, as if he wasn't being driven by a true Celestial King.
"Qiang!!"
He manipulated his sword techniques and lightning seals, instantly unleashing a torrent of sword energy, as deafening as billions of divine thunderbolts. Furthermore, countless jet-black lightning grass leaves, forged from dark immortal gold, appeared in the void, dazzlingly brilliant, and hurtled towards Yun Hua.
"This is... a fusion of the Thunder Emperor Technique and the Grass Sword Technique?" Yun Hua was shocked. He hadn't expected that this Immortal King was also using one of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques, and it was even a fusion of two great treasure techniques.
"kill!"
But the surprise was only momentary. Yunhua acted decisively, his body radiating immortal light and his hair fluttering as he engaged the strange man in battle.
"puff!"
However, after only ten moves, the strange man corrupted by darkness was immediately shaken by Yun Hua and coughed up blood. His arms, which were holding the sword incantation and the thunder seal, almost exploded in the collision.
“Kill…Kill!!”
This strange man seemed to have completely lost his mind, ignoring his own injuries and attacking wildly, continuing to fight Yunhua.
However, it was all in vain.
This strange man was a giant among the Immortal Kings, and even his physical body had reached the level of the Emperor Light Immortal King, second only to himself.
Unfortunately, he was delirious and unable to unleash his full fighting power, so he was no match for Yunhua, and the outcome of the battle was not much of a surprise.
After dozens of moves, Yunhua unleashed a powerful sword strike that shattered everything in its path, instantly beheading the Immortal King who had been corrupted by darkness.
"Kill...kill me!!" However, after his head was removed, the man seemed to regain some of his senses, and his eyes were no longer as crazed as before. He begged Yunhua to finish him off.
"You've regained your senses?" But Yunhua didn't make a move. He had finally encountered someone he could communicate with, so he naturally didn't want to kill them just like that.
He moved with incredible speed, opening his mouth to unleash a beam of divine light. The world-destroying millstone swirled around the man's head, purifying the dark matter.
As the purification process continued, the man's eyes became clearer. He advised, "It's useless. Don't waste your divine power. Even if these dark substances are purified, they will inexplicably reappear. Only killing me can end everything."
“It’s system erosion… You’re also cultivating one of the five secret realm techniques left behind by the Desolate Heaven Emperor?” After a brief examination, Yunhua discovered that this person was actually from the same system as himself.
"Systemic erosion, do you know what that is?" The man's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"It means that the dark matter will completely erode our entire system, and anyone who cultivates this system will fall into darkness," Yunhua replied.
"System erosion, so it's system erosion? Heavens, how cruel you are!! But how is this possible? If you want to erode our entire system, then the system founder must be... Impossible, you are invincible, no one can deal with you!!" The man seemed to understand something, but his face became even more pained.
Yunhua said, "Are you referring to the Desolate Emperor? He's fine because I also suffered from the corruption of darkness, but I've already resolved the problem; if something happened to the Desolate Emperor, it wouldn't be so easy for me to resolve it."
"You don't have to die. If you can open up the sixth secret realm, this level of dark erosion is nothing."
"The Sixth Secret Realm!? You created the Sixth Secret Realm?" The man stared at Yun Hua in shock.
But then his eyes dimmed: "If I could open up the sixth secret realm, I would have succeeded long ago. My aptitude is not good. If it weren't for the Desolate Emperor using his imperial blood to cleanse my body back then, I wouldn't have been able to cultivate to my current level."
"What? Someone who has been baptized by the blood of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor? Is this one of the eight hundred veterans?" Yun Hua exclaimed in surprise.
No wonder this person's physical body is so terrifying; even I found it so difficult to kill him. It seems the baby sent me here to resolve this tragedy.
After the light of a quasi-Immortal Emperor was born on his body, it only took him three or four moves to kill an ordinary Immortal King giant with all his might. Logically speaking, such an irrational Immortal King giant should have been killed even faster.
But in reality, he expended much more effort to win.
However, since he was someone who had been baptized by the blood of the Desolate Emperor, it's not surprising.
If this person had not been corrupted by darkness and was still in his prime, Yunhua would probably have to fight with all his might to have any chance of defeating him in a short time.
Yunhua looked at the old soldier in front of her, her mind filled with countless questions.
This veteran doesn't seem to know much!
They were clearly among the people most valued by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, who even gave them his own imperial blood to baptize their bodies, but they ended up being corrupted by darkness.
"How exactly did you get involved with this stuff? When was the last time you saw the Desolate Emperor?" Yunhua continued to ask, eager to know what had happened afterward.
"The Desolate Emperor has been gone for countless years, so long that we have all forgotten... More than five million years ago, dark matter reappeared, and Master Meng protected us before heading to the heavens alone..." the old soldier said, recounting everything he knew to Yunhua.
However, the veteran didn't know much either, and Yunhua also felt that he seemed a bit confused, and some of his words were contradictory and incoherent, which was probably caused by the darkness's corruption.
"To go to the Heavenly Realm, one should at least have the strength of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. However, it is also very dangerous for a Quasi-Immortal Emperor to go to the Heavenly Realm. Those two Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors on the other side of the Boundary Sea must have descended to the mortal realm after Meng Tianzheng went to the Heavenly Realm."
Chapter 499 Thunder Emperor Rune
"That's right, Meng Tianzheng has also cultivated to the level of Quasi-Immortal Emperor or even Immortal Emperor over these endless years..." Yun Hua suddenly realized.
In terms of talent, Meng Tianzheng was not much inferior to the Desolate Emperor. He was the first person to embark on the path of using his own body as a seed, and he even almost succeeded back then. It can be said that he was the "enlightener" of the Covering Heaven Technique, and if placed above the heavens, he could be called the Dao Ancestor.
Without Meng Tianzheng's experience, the Desolate Emperor might not have been able to successfully cultivate the ability to use his own body as a seed.
"If I'm not mistaken, Meng Tianzheng might be in trouble when he goes to the Heavenly Realm!" Yun Hua thought to himself.
"Ah! Kill...kill!!"
But at that moment, Yunhua suddenly sensed that the aura of the person in front of him had changed, becoming murderous. Another consciousness jumped out from within him, and immediately bared its teeth and grinned at Yunhua.
"town!"
Yunhua casually pointed a finger at his brow, and before the consciousness could make any further moves, a beam of immortal light suppressed it.
However, Yunhua also understood that she couldn't save him, because a completely new consciousness had been born within him, and this consciousness was hostile to his original consciousness.
If they weren't enemies, perhaps there would still be hope? Like Huo Ling'er, the wife of the Desolate Emperor. But these two opposing forces, locked in a life-or-death struggle, would be difficult. Perhaps the Desolate Emperor could save her, but Yun Hua is out of the question now.
And most importantly, this person's primordial spirit is also corrupted? Even if his primordial spirit is extracted, it will be useless, as a second consciousness will soon be born within it.
"Kill me! Quickly, I can't control this consciousness anymore." The man's eyes cleared again, and he spoke to Yunhua.
"Now I understand the mindset of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands during the Immortal Ancient Era!" Yunhua sighed inwardly.
Facing the darkness, he was still far too powerless. Despite having cultivated to the sixth secret realm and comprehended the Emperor's Law, and being on the verge of breaking through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor at any moment, he couldn't withstand even slightly stronger dark matter—for example, dark matter at the Immortal Emperor level.
"Take care!!"
Yunhua had no choice but to strike down and completely annihilate the man. Then, a divine fire and immortal light repeatedly purified the remaining dark matter on his body.
Out of respect for her ancestors, Yunhua did not use this person's body.
"Dark matter...it's truly terrifying!" Yunhua thought to himself.
This is a veteran who has been baptized by the blood of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. Even he was affected, which shows how terrifying this dark substance is.
"Speaking of which, how exactly did this person become tainted by dark matter? If he wasn't deliberately ambushed or tainted by dark matter at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, ordinary dark matter shouldn't be able to harm him." Yun Hua still had many questions in his mind.
Why is this person here? Who ambushed him?
A series of doubts welled up in Yunhua's mind, leaving her completely baffled.
Ahead, everything was hazy and indistinct, but the color was almost pitch black.
The density of dark matter here is simply unbelievable.
"Boom!!"
Just then, ripples suddenly came from the depths of chaos. These were symbols of the Great Dao, carrying a dark light, spreading out and sweeping across a large area of chaos.
This was simply the most terrifying storm, howling past and destroying the world.
