Chapter 211: Daoist Companion, Please Stay

The world was in turmoil, stained with the blood of countless realms.

The number of Dao Ancestor-level Beings from the Sinister Race was both vast and terrifying, tearing through one major world after another. The various realms had no means to resist.

During the Grand Apotheosis Ritual, many major worlds were devastated and plunged into darkness.

The Sinister Race had no mercy. The reason they hadn’t completely annihilated the realms was simple: they were leaving behind ‘seeds’ for the next Grand Apotheosis Ritual, a form of ‘spring plowing,’ allowing the realms to flourish and thrive once more before they reaped the harvest.

In a sense, they viewed the vast world as their own garden, reaping it repeatedly in a cycle of perpetual sacrifice.

“Kill!!!”

Throughout the heavens, everyone fought with a frenzy. Many heroic figures, drenched in blood, fought with a wild abandon, even the immaculate Immortal Queens were covered in blood, continuously battling.

“Boom!”

The Western Sovereign soared into the sky, clashing with a black figure outside the levee. There was no need for words; they fought to the death.

Her status was incredibly noble, yet she stood at the forefront of the heavenly coalition, her beauty and grace illuminating all directions.

At this moment, everyone suddenly remembered that before the rise of the two great figures, she was already a reigning empress!

The heavens split, the Boundary Sea overturned, and Gu Tuo also rushed out, roaring and bellowing. With a thunderous crash, he collided with a Sinister Immortal King.

The coalition included not only experts from the Mortal Cosmos and the Three Realms but also many powerful figures from other Immortal Domain Fragments.

Gu Tuo was one of the most outstanding among them. In a certain period, he had even walked alongside several Celestial Emperors, and in some realms, he was revered as a ‘Celestial Emperor.’

Such a person naturally wouldn’t be obscure. In fact, his cultivation had long reached the pinnacle of Immortal King, his strength not inferior to Di Zun or Wan Qing.

“Damn it! Why can’t I break through and ascend to Emperor?!” Gu Tuo roared, filled with dissatisfaction.

Then, his hair stood on end, and he charged at his enemy, roaring, “If I can’t become an Emperor, I’ll be invincible among Immortal Kings! Kill, kill, kill!”

Gu Tuo fought with a frenzy on the levee, and gradually, faint imperial light began to flicker around him, weak but real.

Beside him, another figure stood at the pinnacle of Immortal Kings, radiating golden light that soared into the sky, cutting down Sinister Immortal Kings left and right.

This was the Silkworm Sovereign. In the age of the end of the law, he was revered as a deity by all races, and the Immortal Heaven Sovereign was once worshipped as a deity by all.

The Silkworm Sovereign was even more formidable, claiming the title of Divine Emperor!

Who else dared to do so? Only he, with the title of Divine Emperor, could be compared to the Celestial Emperors of the past.

The Nine Mutations of the Divine Silkworm had already made him invincible in heaven and earth. He perfected the clan’s techniques and underwent the tenth mutation, surpassing all and becoming an emperor.

In that era, he instilled fear and helplessness in everyone.

He was too strong, unmatched, and the Supreme Sovereigns from past ages could only remain hidden, avoiding his might.

Also, because he lived for an incredibly long time, he made countless people despair during his lifetime. Even after his death, he continued to transform between life and death, outliving the protagonists of many eras.

The Silkworm’s tenth mutation made him an emperor, the eleventh could make him a transcendent, and the twelfth would make him an Immortal King.

If he were to transform again, reaching the Dao Ancestor realm would not be difficult!

On the levee, there were not just these few. There were also younger figures.

“Boom!”

A man swung his fists, instantly shattering the surrounding Sinister Immortal Kings. The power was terrifying, his might unparalleled, sweeping away several enemies.

He was Ye Fan’s descendant but ultimately became a disciple of Wu Shi.

Not far away, a handsome and refined man was also wreaking havoc, using mostly spells and techniques. Occasionally, terrifying Immortal King arrays would rise, this was Wuyou, Wu Shi’s son.

He had also studied the source techniques and array arts under Ye Fan, making him a unique expert in the field, and could be considered Ye Fan’s half-disciple.

This made Wu Shi and Ye Fan both laugh and feel a bit heartbroken. Their descendants were all turning to others; it was one thing for their sons, but their favorite granddaughter was even more so.

Despite being newcomers, their children were truly strong, surpassing many Ancient Emperors. They had risen to the Supreme Sovereign realm and possessed unparalleled combat power, inheriting the invincible spirit of their parents.

“Kill!!!”

At one moment, Ye Fan’s descendant and Wu Shi’s son stood together, advancing with unstoppable force, sweeping away the surrounding enemies!

The battle lasted for a long time, and both were covered in blood, their bodies riddled with cracks and severe injuries, but their fighting spirit grew even more intense, boiling over with bloodlust.

To be fearless and without hesitation is to be invincible!

Behind the levee, two figures of unparalleled grace also stood proudly.

They were naturally Ye Qingxian and Ying Wu’an, the descendants of two Celestial Emperors. In this battle, they were entrusted with important tasks, wielding the legacy artifacts left behind.

After all, both were Shaohua’s direct disciples and possessed supreme imperial potential. Given enough time, reaching the Destined Land was not impossible!

“The Celestial Constellation Array can’t hold much longer; we need to start fighting seriously!” Ye Qingxian smiled and turned to her best friend.

“Then let’s fight!” Ying Wu’an nodded, taking a deep breath, her battle spirit rising.

How could she not know that this array covered nearly all of the heavens, personally designed by several Celestial Emperors, using the Golden Scripture Jade Tablets to set up 3,000 nodes across the heavens, each node being a Great Curtain and a Spirit Realm.

When the Golden Scripture Jade Tablets disappeared, the array would activate. It was now half-diminished, no longer providing the great power of the heavens.

Moreover, the Donghuang Bell and Taiyi Wheel were also in poor condition, having developed many cracks from repeated collisions with the Sinister Race’s quasi-Immortal Emperor-level weapons.

Even the artifacts personally refined by Shaohua could not remain unscathed, and they were on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, although the Sinister Race had deep roots and an endless army, the vast worlds were all in a state of shared sacrifice. Only a small portion of their forces could reach the heavens.

“Argh, let’s go, dog!” Duan De shouted, kicking the Black Emperor and brandishing a long banner, ready to fight.

“Hold on, this banner looks familiar. Shouldn’t that artifact have been melted long ago? Where did you get it from?” the Black Emperor asked in surprise.

It couldn’t help but notice that the banner in the fat man’s hand resembled the weapon once wielded by a certain figure.

“That’s right, this is the Yuhua Banner!” Duan De laughed smugly, knowing exactly what the dog was thinking.

However, it wasn’t the ancient artifact, but the ritual method I sought from that person. That person truly had a kind heart, responding to my request and directly giving me a piece of raw material for the artifact."

Over the years, he had roamed through the famous mountains and rivers of the various heavens, digging through countless burial pits and desecrating the ancestral tombs of numerous forces, finally refining this magical artifact to its limit.

"Arf, you fatso, hiding so deep!" The Black Emperor bared his teeth, revealing his dazzling false teeth, and suddenly felt a twinge of toothache.

Who would have thought that this fatso had such a powerful weapon? Could anyone still pretend to be weak now?

In the battlefield, there was an incredibly peculiar boat darting around. The hull was inscribed with the great principles of time and space, allowing it to effortlessly enter and exit the fabric of spacetime, making it almost impossible to track, even for a Dao Ancestor.

This was the Carefree Vessel, the only magical artifact that remained after the first joint casting of the Imperial Dao Flag. It later fell into the hands of Ming Yuanxin, who treasured it as her most precious possession.

Ming Yuanxin was once the spirit of Mortal Sword. After gaining sentience, Shaohua couldn’t bear to melt her down, so he extracted her and treated her like his own child.

Naturally, before the great battle, Shaohua also upgraded his child’s equipment. Not only did he recast the Carefree Vessel, but he also refined her life-bound sword with his own blood, making it glow with an imperial radiance when fully activated.

On the Carefree Vessel, there were several people. One of them, a graceful and tall figure, continuously drew and released arrows, each shot drawing blood and decapitating many bizarre Immortal Kings.

Liunian stood at the stern, wearing a Black-White Bangle that glowed brilliantly, providing her with significant enhancements.

Another person, a tall and muscular man, sat in the middle of the Carefree Vessel, his face tinged with a hint of sorrow. He guarded a furnace that emitted no killing aura, sighing occasionally as he reached out to retrieve the heavily wounded and toss them into the furnace.

Wu Ning, on the verge of tears, had once been a fully accomplished Holy Body. But now, among his entire family of four generations, he was the one with the lowest cultivation. It was only with the strong support of his children before the battle that he managed to break through to the Immortal King stage.

To celebrate this, Shaohua specially gifted his father the Longevity Cauldron, hoping it would prevent him from dying.

The Longevity Cauldron was a supreme treasure for nurturing and healing, cast by a supreme Dao Ancestor, containing the highest principles of nurturing. As long as one wasn’t completely dead, they could be revived after being refined in the cauldron for a period of time.

Even if one was truly dead, if rescued in time, there was still a chance to bring them back.

Thus, Wu Ning had no choice but to board this "thief’s boat" and diligently save lives and treat the injured.

Everyone was fighting desperately, with ancient emperors like the Kirin Sovereign, Dragon Sovereign, Golden Sovereign, and Spirit Sovereign all locked in bloody combat.

There were also Hengyu, Xu Kong, Luan Gu, Gai Jiuyou, Old Golden Crow, Tai Huang, Ning Fei, Chuan Ying, Wang Bo, and Yu Feng, as well as Tong Tian, Gu Xin'ao, Xiao Zicheng, Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, Mu Chen, and Lan Ling. After the previous great battle, all those who survived had reached the Immortal King stage.

Who could have imagined, two to three million years ago, that this scene would unfold? Even they themselves couldn’t have believed they would reach this point.

However, who could have predicted that this era would be so dark?

The Grand Apotheosis Ritual arrived prematurely, and the bizarre clan shattered countless worlds, an unavoidable fate. There was no escape, only a desperate battle to the death!

"Boom!!!!"

Outside the boundary, various orders intertwined, and Dao Ancestor-level energy boiled.

In the final moments of the battle, the Donghuang Bell and the Taiyi Wheel shattered, exploding in all directions. Too many people fell, their blood staining the sky and the green mountains red.

"Damn it, kill, kill, kill!"

Di Zun stepped out from the Heavenly Court, seeing this scene, he let out a sorrowful cry that shook the heavens, ascending in a brilliant light, breaking through the rank of King to become an Emperor!

How many Immortal Kings, Quasi-Immortal Emperors, and Dao Ancestors were mere talk in front of a true Dao Ancestor, capable of crushing a vast number with a single hand.

The bizarre clan did not send more people, as their power was too scattered, and the heavens also restrained much of their energy.

Most importantly, "Huang" had illuminated the various worlds before his demise, reviving many people, which was why the Grand Apotheosis Ritual arrived prematurely.

The fruit ripened early and more abundantly, so it was natural to harvest it sooner.

The heavens were reduced to ruins, but there seemed to be a glimmer of hope.

But who knew about the great battle in the Sacrificial Sea?

Before leaving, Shaohua first silenced the bizarre Immortal Emperor who was watching the heavens, then engaged in a fierce battle with the pursuing ‘Voracious Tyrant Beast’ for thirty thousand years, relying on her own strength to defeat it.

She then took on two ‘Great Tyrant Dragon’ Immortal Emperors who emerged from the Plateau, encountering many dangers along the way.

If not for her deep accumulation, her Path's End ascension to Emperor, her premature merging of the two Dao Fruits to enhance her cultivation, and her willingness to taint herself with the bizarre Dao aura to break through, she would not have been able to persist.

At the peak of the Immortal Emperor stage, the merging of the two Dao Fruits not only allowed her to forcefully ascend to the Sacrificial Dao realm but also gave her the option to Sacrificial Dao with both Dao Fruits simultaneously.

Though she felt she could not walk this path, she had not yet tried it. Who would be truly content with that?

As for tainting herself with the bizarre aura, there was no need to elaborate. She was on a dangerous path, feeding herself to the ominous.

One misstep, and she might become the greatest source of evil. If that happened, it was unknown what would come next.

"I acted rashly, I shouldn’t have been so hasty", Shaohua muttered to herself, her red eyes flickering slightly.

"No, it wasn’t rashness, but a great terror that I sensed in the depths of my being, forcing me to act this way", she frowned, her thoughts shifting.

Of course, there was another possibility she didn’t want to consider: that an unimaginable existence was influencing her.

In the vast Sacrificial Sea, two figures were chasing each other at an incredible speed.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally saw a distant, otherworldly Plateau.

Deep within the Plateau, several Immortal Emperor-level auras erupted, rushing toward the Sacrificial Sea.

"Please, fellow Daoists, help me!"

The hunched bizarre Immortal Emperor couldn’t help but call out to the depths of the Plateau, his excitement evident, but if one listened closely, a faint tremor could be heard in his voice.

This couldn’t be blamed on him. The woman chasing him was too bizarre, capable of transforming Primordial Substances into her own use!

She would catch up from time to time, striking him fiercely, forcibly seizing part of his essence, burning it to ashes, and refining the Primordial Substances to enhance her own cultivation.

This was simply beyond comprehension!

Even the "Huang" who almost attacked the Plateau and confronted the Progenitor wasn’t as terrifying as this.

This once made him doubt his own existence, wondering who the true bizarre Immortal Emperor was.

"Please, fellow Daoist, stop."

At this moment, a faint voice came from behind him, causing him to shiver and almost fall to the ground.
