Chapter 549: The Emperor's Plea for Aid! The Black-Robed Honored One!
February 7th, 2025
"Dao De's avatar."
An imperial robe figure slowly materialized, its indifferent gaze fixed on the depths of chaos, the direction of the Thirty-Third Heaven.
After several breaths...
The Emperor finally retracted his gaze, turning it towards the black mist abyss swirling beneath him like a vortex, his expression growing solemn.
At the center of the vortex, pure black mists continuously emerged, transforming into various life forms before losing their divine qualities and reverting to the purest pollution.
Then, at a certain moment...
Buzz!
A humming sound emanated from the vortex's center, and an invisible force instantly spread in all directions, causing the chaos to freeze.
The Emperor's expression became extremely grave.
Whoosh!!
As the black mists churned, an eye slowly rose from the vortex's center, and the powerful force that had frozen the chaos seemed to emanate from this eye.
The instant the Emperor saw the eye, he bowed deeply, despite the immense pressure, and said respectfully, "I humbly welcome your descent, Honored One!"
The eye was filled with black blood vessels, and its pupil moved erratically before finally settling in the middle, as if looking at the Emperor who was bowing respectfully.
"Hmm."
A cold and indifferent voice emanated from the eye.
The Emperor was about to stand up.
"Do you have my permission to rise?"
The cold, indifferent voice sounded again.
An invisible pressure suddenly pressed down like an infinite boundary, causing the Emperor to stumble, nearly falling to his knees.
The black and red light emanating from the eye intensified, and the Emperor's struggling body was instantly disintegrated by an invisible force, shattering into countless pieces of black mist.
"Since you knew of my arrival, you still dared to greet me with an avatar. Do you not know how to write the word 'death'?"
The eye pulsated with black and red light, and the voice grew colder, filled with heavy killing intent like a torrential downpour, instantly engulfing the chaos.
And just as these words fell...
Buzz!
The chaos trembled slightly, and the void seemed to part like a curtain, revealing a figure with a slightly pale complexion stepping out from behind it, standing opposite the eye.
Without hesitation, this figure knelt before the eye's cold gaze, prostrating himself and apologizing, "I was injured some time ago, please forgive me, Honored One."
Seeing this, the black and red light emanating from the eye dimmed, and the heavy killing intent that filled the chaos also gradually dissipated.
"There won't be a next time."
A cold voice came from the eye again.
"There won't be, I promise."
The Emperor remained prostrated, responding only with words, his body unmoving, still kneeling and bowing, unconcerned about his dignity as one of the top powers in the Chaos Ocean.
Only then did the eye show a hint of satisfaction. It twisted violently, and the surrounding pollution mists gathered, transforming into a black-robed youth.
The youth looked down at the Emperor kneeling before him and nodded, "As a weak life form from this lower realm, you were chosen by us and gained the qualification to touch upon the power of the 'Ancient Realm.' You must remember your place and maintain reverence!"
"Alright, stand up."
Only then did the Emperor slowly rise, no longer exuding the grandeur of his previous avatar. His face was pale, and his aura was weak, giving off an impression of frailty.
The black-robed youth's eyebrows rose slightly, and he casually waved his hand, sending a black light into the Emperor's body.
The next moment...
The Emperor's originally weak aura visibly intensified, recovering from his severe injuries within a few breaths.
"Thank you, Heavenly Lord!"
The Emperor bowed respectfully again.
The black-robed youth ignored the Emperor and scanned the surroundings with his deep gaze. With a simple sweep, he seemed to capture half of the Chaos Ocean within his eyes.
Finally, his gaze rested on the direction of the Thirty-Third Heaven.
"Interesting."
The black-robed youth muttered.
In this lower realm, there was a place he couldn't see clearly. Could it be that those evil beings had left some of their power in this lower realm before invading the Nine Provinces?
Thoughts swirled in the black-robed youth's mind, but he didn't act immediately. Instead, he withdrew his gaze, turned, and looked at the Emperor behind him, who was full of humility.
"With your Beyond-the-Shore level strength in this lower realm, who else could possibly harm you?"
"The Black Robed Youth spoke in a cold voice.
The Heavenly Emperor immediately bowed his head and clasped his fists, his eyes glimmering with uncertainty. He responded, "I report to the Heavenly Lord, the ancient divine weapon bestowed by the Heavenly Lords in the past contains the sealed spirit of an ancient spirit within the Shanhai Scroll."
"I don't know how it awakened, but it killed my most crucial body, causing my foundation to become unstable and me to be severely injured!"
The Black Robed Youth's gaze slightly narrowed at these words.
"The Shanhai Scroll?"
He muttered to himself.
Among the cursed divine weapons, there was an ancient spirit that had not been cursed?
This defied logic!
The ancient curse from the ancient clans could not be escaped by any existence other than those with the bloodline of the ancient clans!
Unless that spirit also possessed the bloodline of the ancient clans? The Black Robed Youth's mind raced with thoughts, and his eyes glanced at the bowing Heavenly Emperor. With a calm voice, he said, "You exhausted your efforts, allowing a portion of my strength to descend, all for that ancient spirit?"
The Heavenly Emperor nodded in response, saying, "I report to the Heavenly Lord, besides the ancient spirit, a fated individual has emerged in this realm sea. Although he has only reached the realm of Zaohua, the ancient spirit within the Shanhai Scroll obeys his command."
"He is currently trying to purge the curses in this realm sea and is searching for my location, intending to eradicate me completely."
"I was forced to call upon your strength to come and help me kill that fated individual and the ancient spirit together!"
The Black Robed Youth's eyes flickered with light upon hearing this. He didn't ask about the 'fated individual', as in his life experiences and insights, nothing compared to possessing the bloodline of the ancient clans!
So, he turned his gaze towards the Heavenly Emperor and took a step forward, instantly transforming into a black light that pierced the Heavenly Emperor's right eye, replacing it in the blink of an eye.
"Let's go."
A cold and indifferent voice echoed in his mind.
The Heavenly Emperor respectfully complied, and with a single step, he instantly left this chaotic realm.
The black mist quickly gathered and condensed into a shroud, emitting a strong sense of distortion, and merged with the Heavenly Emperor's body.
Thirty-Three Heavens.
Eight Scenery Palace.
In the ancient Daoist temple, Dao Xuan's voice slowly resonated, sharing everything he had read in ancient books, his own experiences, and his speculations.
Although Qin Zheng had already heard it once, as he listened again, his mind raced with various conjectures and ideas.
The expression of Tao Te Tianzun remained calm, unperturbed by the information implied in Dao Xuan's words.
After Dao Xuan finished speaking, Tao Te Tianzun nodded slightly and said to Dao Xuan, "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your efforts."
Dao Xuan shook his head slowly.
At this moment, he looked at Tao Te Tianzun with curiosity. Although he was an ancient spirit, he felt that his demeanor was far inferior to this Beyond-the-Shore individual.
Is this the aura nurtured at the pinnacle of a realm? And at this moment, Tao Te Tianzun's brows furrowed in thought, and the entire hall became incredibly quiet.
Qin Zheng, the lowest in cultivation and experience, stood by, unable to contribute to the conversation.
However, after a few moments of silence, the shroud of wrapping cloth fragments sealed beneath the Merit Scroll in his heart suddenly trembled, as if attracted by the proximity of its origin! Qin Zheng's expression changed abruptly, and he stared at Dao Xuan and Tao Te Tianzun in front of him.
Whoosh!!
A pure Dao essence spread out.
Tao Te Tianzun gently waved his whisk, and ripples of clear light spread out, continuously striking the Heavenly Emperor.
These ripples caused no harm to the Emperor, but they had a powerful corrosive effect on the eyeball that had parasitized his right eye.
After just three waves of ripples, the Emperor felt a sharp pain in his right eye. The eyeball then detached from its socket and fell to the ground, reverting to the form of the black-robed youth.
"So, it was you!"
The black-robed youth glared at Tao Te Tianzun, his expression gradually turning angry, and his tone becoming increasingly sharp. It was clear he knew Tao Te Tianzun and had suffered at his hands before!
Tao Te Tianzun stopped waving his whisk and calmly responded, "I am who I am, but you are not who you seem."
After saying this, Tao Te Tianzun raised his hand, and strands of light intertwined in the hall, forming two meditation cushions beneath the Emperor and the black-robed youth.
"Welcome, esteemed guest, please take a seat."
This casual response not only darkened the Emperor's expression but also made the black-robed youth's face turn angrier.
However, instead of immediately taking action, he coldly laughed and sat on the newly formed meditation cushion, averting his gaze from Tao Te Tianzun.
He first looked at the Mountain and River Scroll, seeing that most of the curse power had been expelled, causing his pupils to contract slightly. Still, he forced himself to remain calm.
Then, he looked at Daoxuan beneath the scroll, and his eyes grew solemn. He couldn't sense any curse power in Daoxuan's body! Daoxuan was now just a lingering soul, clearly having been corrupted by the curse, yet this remaining soul seemed untouched by it.
It was unbelievable!
Could there be a way or object in this lower realm that could purify curse power? The black-robed youth's mind raced with thoughts, finally settling on Qin Zheng.
And it was at this moment.
Hmm?
A question arose in his mind.
He looked again.
Whoosh!
A surge of astonishment washed over the black-robed youth.
"You..."
He was about to say something, but something stopped him, perhaps a thought or an unseen force. In the end, he didn't finish his sentence.
Almost simultaneously, his figure rose from the meditation cushion, taking a step towards Qin Zheng. His palm seemed to break through time and space, disregarding all rules, and landed on Qin Zheng's heart sea.
In response to the black-robed youth's action, Qin Zheng was not only shocked but immediately activated the Divine Ancient Favor and unleashed the power of the Tianyuan Clan without hesitation.
Boom!!!
Qin Zheng's aura instantly broke through its limits, reaching the final realm of the Dao Realm—the Beyondshore level! At this moment, the Merit Scroll in Qin Zheng's heart sea erupted with a light as intense as the Great Sun, instantly expelling the black-robed youth's hand from his heart sea.
"Indeed!!!"
The black-robed youth roared ferociously.
But before he could react, a fist imbued with four types of Divine Ancient Dao Art struck his face, instantly sending him flying backward.
Boom!!
The black-robed youth's figure burst out of the Daoist temple.
This sudden change occurred in the blink of an eye, and it was only then that the others seemed to react.
Tao Te Tianzun stood up and took a step forward, instantly chasing after the black-robed youth.
The Mountain and River Scroll merged into the Eight Scenery Palace, and Daoxuan's range of movement instantly expanded to encompass the entire palace.
His figure flickered and disappeared from the spot, also heading in the direction of the black-robed youth.
Only the Heavenly Emperor remained in place. Before he could think further, a grand and mighty fist imprint appeared before his eyes.
"Get out of here too!!!"
An angry voice echoed through the hall.
The next moment.
Boom!!
The Heavenly Emperor's figure, like the black-robed youth's, instantly tore through the void, leaving the Daoist temple.
Qin Zheng's aura surged like a god-demon, and his expression was filled with raging anger!
Just a hair's breadth away!
If not for the timely eruption of the Merit Scroll, he might have died here today!
And...
That black-robed youth could see the Merit Scroll in his heart sea!
Qin Zheng's anger surged after his narrow escape. He took a step, breaking through layer after layer of void!
No matter who that black-robed youth was, he must die today!
