Chapter 140: This Is My Escape Route! The Heavenly Emperor Falls!

Chapter 140: This Is My Escape Route! The Heavenly Emperor Falls!

No one knew how long it had been, but the Heavenly Core Seal and the Ten Thousand Dao suddenly cracked. Two figures plummeted from the celestial heights, their bodies covered in blood and grievously wounded.

One figure stood up, his long black hair cascading over his shoulders. His back was broad and imposing, like an eternal monument standing firm. He exuded a unique aura.

He seemed capable of shattering eternity, standing in the starry sky, trampling the Ten Thousand Dao underfoot, and commanding even the heavens and earth to bow in submission!

The other figure transformed into a winged immortal bird, its wings broken, flapping desperately as if in a panic to escape.

Who would have thought that someone could truly defy the heavens, breaking ancient taboos and forging a mythic legacy unparalleled in history?

Emperor Wushi and Emperor Wanqing had both shattered the shackles of the Ten Thousand Dao and broken through the Great Dao suppression of the Immortal Tianhuang, shattering his Heavenly Core Seal, and ultimately rising above the Ten Thousand Dao!

"You old bird, why are you running? I’m not going to eat you", Emperor Wushi said, taking a moment to calm his boiling blood and heal his wounds, then grinned.

On the other side, Emperor Wanqing had successfully weathered the tribulation. Several Ultimate Artifacts floated around him, most of them shattered, gifts from the Primordial Mine.

Initially, he had refined a lifebound artifact from his own body. Now, he had enough material to forge an entire set of equipment and still have some left over.

"Where are you running to?" Emperor Wanqing descended from the sky, blocking the path of the Immortal Tianhuang.

The Immortal Tianhuang transformed back into human form, his face dark and grim.

He was heavily wounded, with Emperor Wanqing in front and Emperor Wushi behind, and the Emperor Donghuang lurking in the shadows. It seemed like a hopeless situation.

"Throughout the ages, countless Heavenly Sovereigns, Ancient Emperors, and Imperial Monarchs have been born in this universe, but never before has there been a time when three individuals achieved enlightenment in the same era."

The Immortal Tianhuang’s heart sank, and a look of sorrow and despair crossed his face as he let out a fierce howl to the heavens.

"Back in the day, I ended the Mythic Era and became invincible, revered as the supreme deity by the myriad races of the ancient era. I had everything going for me, the vibrant energy and flourishing life of that era still vivid in my mind!"

"I don’t understand. When I was reborn, it seemed that this life was destined to bring me nothing but misfortune. After millions of years, has this universe become my grave?"

"Regardless, I am the Immortal Tianhuang, and I cannot be easily killed!"

The Immortal Tianhuang roared, his body radiating Five-Phase Immortal Radiance as he consumed his essence to heal all his wounds and cast an ancient secret technique.

"Sovereign Divine Will, the combined strength of all beings, summon the wills of those who once existed, the undying spirits, and bring them back in the name of the Heavenly Emperor!"

This was a forbidden power, related to the power of faith, drawing on the divine consciousness of those who still worshipped and revered him. As the supreme deity of the ancient era, he had countless followers, and his return over the past century had only increased their devotion.

At that moment, the Immortal Tianhuang’s forbidden secret technique took effect.

"Boom!"

Infinite divine consciousness converged, a force so vast that even those of his own level could not afford to underestimate it. A misstep could be disastrous.

Emperor Wushi and Emperor Wanqing watched the Immortal Tianhuang cast his spell.

Two against one, what was there to worry about? Interrupting his spell would only show a lack of confidence in themselves.

Moreover, their own conditions were not ideal. Achieving enlightenment against the heavens was impossible without sustaining injuries, and they had also faced powerful enemies along the way, using this time to recover.

Especially Emperor Wushi, whose injuries were more severe. He relied on his deep essence and the Eternal Sigil to endure.

"Old bird, it’s time to settle the score!" Emperor Wushi grinned.

"Settle the score with me?" The Immortal Tianhuang laughed, "If it weren’t for that woman, if it weren’t for her first strike, I wouldn’t be in this position!"

"It was you who attacked my sister first. What goes around, comes around. This is the reckoning", Emperor Wushi said solemnly.

"Want to kill me? Then come together!"

The Immortal Tianhuang, enraged and humiliated, coldly smiled and raised his hand, merging the Nine Esoteric Seals.

But Emperor Wushi and Emperor Wanqing also used this technique, having gathered all nine seals.

"Boom!!!"

The heavens shattered, and the universe’s edge collapsed. Everything seemed to vanish as they punched through the cosmic barrier, creating a massive passage that seemed to connect to another strange world.

"Is that the Immortal Realm?" a great sage, adorned with a divine sigil, exclaimed from a nearby starfield.

Lu Ren never thought his luck would be so good. Three supreme beings had fallen right in front of him, neither too close nor too far away.

There, light and rays of light danced, and the three powerful beings collided with all their might, unexpectedly opening a passage.

But was it really just an accident?

Emperor Wushi and Emperor Wanqing seemed to realize something, their faces changing.

A phoenix emerged from the chaos, its wings broken and bloodstained, yet it laughed maniacally.

"Emperor Wushi, Emperor Wanqing, didn’t expect this, did you? This is my escape route!"

But the Immortal Tianhuang was laughing too soon.

For in the passage, there was not nothing, but a celestial island resembling a coffin pulled by nine dragons, blocking the way, as if collapsing the ages.

On the Heaven-Burying Isle, under the Peach of Immortality Tree, stood a woman, ethereal and divine, her presence commanding.

She found it amusing, her eyes curving in delight, and the two realms seemed to brighten, as if the heavens themselves were rejoicing.

"I hid here, and you still found me. Truly..."

Shao Hua shook her head, unsure what to say.

The Immortal Tianhuang was utterly stunned, almost crashing into the Heaven-Burying Isle.

"Sister!"

"Senior Sister!"

Emperor Wushi and Emperor Wanqing were overjoyed upon seeing the woman, and their gazes toward the Immortal Tianhuang changed.

Good, good, good. Who would have thought that this old bird would do something good in his dying moments? Otherwise, they would have had to search for her.

Of course, for the Immortal Tianhuang, this truly sealed his fate!

Shao Hua lightly stepped forward, walking to a dragon vein, her hand resting on her cheek as she watched the three battle.

The outcome was already decided; the only thing left was a desperate struggle.

"Boom!"

Emperor Wushi and Emperor Wanqing mercilessly crushed the Immortal Tianhuang, reducing him to fragments, his soul torn apart.

"Ha ha ha..."

The Immortal Tianhuang laughed bitterly, "In my youth, I stumbled into a rare spatial rift and fell from the Immortal Realm to the mortal world, always wanting to return, but I fell along the way."

"You brought this upon yourself", Emperor Wushi and Emperor Wanqing said as they destroyed and refined his remains.

Meanwhile, Shao Hua, who had been watching from the Heaven-Burying Isle, vanished, tearing through the void to appear in a sacred land.

There, a Five-Phase Immortal Egg rested on five Founts of Cosmic Creation, drawing the essence of the universe, making her raise an eyebrow.

At that moment, a soul descended, preparing to merge with the egg, but was caught by a delicate, jade-like hand.

Elsewhere, as Emperor Wanqing stepped into the passage, Emperor Wushi sighed.

"Why go so far?"

"When I achieved enlightenment, I sensed that this life was meant for you alone. There’s no need to worry about me. The path to immortality is difficult, and I’m going to open a new world!" Emperor Wanqing said without turning back, his voice calm.

"Oh, so that’s why. I thought it was because of my sister..." Emperor Wushi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shut up!"

"..."

Emperor Wushi waited and waited, but when the passage between the two realms closed, his sister still hadn’t appeared. So, he returned, recondensing his Heavenly Core Seal.

He could certainly remain above the Ten Thousand Dao, but there was value in the experience.

Most importantly, if he didn’t recondense the Heavenly Core Seal, how would the world know he had defeated the Immortal Tianhuang?

At that moment, the universe trembled. The Immortal Tianhuang’s mark disappeared, and Emperor Wushi’s Great Dao suppressed the cosmos.

The news spread like a tidal wave, reaching every corner of the universe. People everywhere were in awe.

"Multiple emperors in one era, the ancient taboo has been broken, anything is possible!"

"If Emperor Wushi and Emperor Wanqing can do it, then so can I. As long as I am strong enough, I too can defy the heavens and break through the Ten Thousand Dao!" Young geniuses were filled with ambition, dreaming of reaching the pinnacle.

The human race rejoiced, and all living sages emerged, preparing to pay homage to the supreme Heavenly Emperor in Beidou.

In the central region of Beidou, in the Five-Finger Mountain, an old sage, almost lifeless, crawled out of a grave, carried by his descendants to the Jade Pool Holy Land.

This scene left many speechless. Buried and waiting for death, he had now risen, seeking a new lease on life from the Heavenly Emperor.

"Hurry, go to pay homage to our supreme Heavenly Emperor!"

"Go to Beidou, Emperor Wushi will surely return to his homeland. If we set out early, we can secure a good spot!"

Across the starry sky, humans from many places were on the move, heading to Beidou to pay homage to Emperor Wushi.

Other races also joined the movement, making it a grand event that would be recorded in history.

"Ha ha ha, I will record the brilliance of this era and the great achievements of the two supreme emperors in the annals of history!"

Emperor Wushi returned to Beidou and arrived at the Jade Pool Holy Land, reuniting with familiar faces.

He had only been enlightened for a few hundred years, a short time. Those who were still alive should be around if nothing had gone wrong.

"Your Majesty!" The Jade Pool Queen Mother bowed, her face lighting up with joy and deep emotion.

Three emperors from one family, continuing the legacy, it was almost unimaginable, yet it had truly happened.

The only regret was that she was not a cultivator, so she could not truly become the ruler of the Jade Pool, but the bond remained unbreakable.

"No need for formalities", Emperor Wushi helped the Queen Mother to her feet. He was born in the former Jade Pool and had stayed in the present Jade Pool for three years, receiving care and support, for which he was grateful.

However, he secretly instructed her to destroy certain records and documents that should not be seen by others.

Facing the world, he would face the great enemy ahead, leaving his back to those he protected, not because of any hidden deeds!
