High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 762 Supreme Jing

Just seconds later, an old man in black appeared out of thin air in this desolate starry sky. He was only a few meters tall.

From a visual perspective, standing before the towering, fiery red figure that stretched for hundreds of millions of miles, he was nothing more than a speck of dust.

However, if other super strong individuals were to observe, they would surely discover that the aura of this black-clad old man far surpasses that of the towering, fiery red figure.

He was as unshakeable as the universe itself.

"Yan Long." The old man in black smiled slightly.

If others heard the old man in black address him, they would surely understand that the towering, fiery red figure was none other than the number one ruler of the Jingyu Realm, 'Ruler Yanlong'.

He was born in the Jingyu Realm and is recognized throughout the entire universe as being second only to the Supreme Being.

Over the long years, Supreme Jing appeared less and less frequently. Most of the affairs of the Universe Realm and even the Universe Alliance were handled by Lord Yanlong, which made his status and prestige within the Universe Alliance even greater. All forces regarded him as Supreme Jing's representative.

"Master, you've come out?" Yanlong Sovereign was quite excited, even somewhat losing his composure.

He came today only as instructed by his master to promptly report some major events that were happening in the universe, but he did not expect his master to appear.

After all, in recent hundreds of millions of years, Master has appeared less and less often, and the last time he appeared was nearly a hundred million years ago.

"Hmm." The old man in black nodded.

"Master, your aura?" Yanlong Sovereign was suddenly stunned, only then realizing that although his master's aura was still powerful and vast, and his face was not too old, his whole body was surrounded by an inescapable aura of death, the intensity of which was simply unbelievable.

It was as if he could reach the end of his life at any moment.

"I just suffered a backlash from failing to cultivate the secret technique," Jing Zhizun said calmly. "I will recover after a period of recuperation."

"Failure? Backlash?" A hint of worry appeared in the eyes of the Flame Dragon Sovereign.

To be able to severely injure and nearly kill a supreme being, one can imagine the terrifying backlash that Supreme Being Jing suffered. What kind of secret technique was he cultivating?
"I hope you take care, Master. The rise and fall of the entire Universe Alliance rests entirely on your shoulders," said Sovereign Yanlong respectfully.

“Foolish child.” Jing Zhizun shook his head gently and said calmly, “The cycle of reincarnation in the universe is coming to an end. Even if you don’t die, how much longer can you live? Only by fighting desperately and stepping into the level of a sub-saint can you have any hope of transcendence and save the universe.”

"The end of the universe?" A hint of fear flashed in the eyes of the Flame Dragon Sovereign, and he said in a low voice, "Master, is there no way to delay any longer?"

The Lord of Flame Dragon understood.

A complete cycle in a normal universe takes about 10 billion years, but the Jingyu Realm has existed for far longer than a normal universe.

All of this is thanks to Jing Zhizun.

Over countless years, Jing Supreme has become the oldest Supreme, and Jingyu Realm has become the most powerful realm in the entire universe, with hundreds of Emperor Realm experts and five Sovereigns. In some ways, it is even more powerful than the former Honghe Realm.

"No flower in this world lasts forever; all flowers eventually fade." Jing Zhizun shook his head and said, "Having cultivated for so long, can't you even see through this?"

The Flame Dragon Sovereign remained silent.

See through it all?
Once the universe undergoes reincarnation, everything born in the entire universe will be destroyed, and all living beings will perish, regardless of where they are in the universe or what their cultivation level is, without exception.

Even if he were the ruler, he would perish instantly.

"Yanlong, if you can reach the Supreme level, you will still have a chance to fight back." Supreme Jing looked at his disciple.

This is his most outstanding disciple, and the one to whom he has devoted the most effort, yet he is still trapped at the Dominator level.

"The Eternal Road of the Ancient Ruins of the Long River? Didn't Master say back then that it was a dead end?" Sovereign Yanlong asked hesitantly.

The eternal road of the ancient ruins of Changhe.

Among the top powerhouses in the vast universe, this is not a secret; most of the peak Emperor Realm and Sovereign Realm experts know about it.

Knowing something doesn't mean you can access it.

Without reaching the Supreme level, it's difficult to even enter. Whether a ruler can find the Eternal Path is purely a matter of luck.

“I did think it was a dead end back then, but perhaps there is a glimmer of hope?” Jing Zhizun said calmly, “If in the end I still cannot find any other way out, I will have to try. If you can break through, then our chances will be much greater if we join forces.”

"This disciple will certainly do his best," said the Flame Dragon Sovereign in a low voice.

However, he was clearly not confident enough. Over the long course of time, there were only a handful of supreme beings who coexisted with him in the universe!

The probability of two supreme beings being born simultaneously in one universe is incredibly low.

“The Quasi-Saint of the Heart Source you just mentioned might also be our source of hope,” said Supreme Jing. “He should be the successor of Supreme Beihe.”

"The successor of the Northern River Supreme? It cannot be completely confirmed, but according to the intelligence we have, he rose to power on the Northern Star, appeared deep within the Honghe Supreme Star City, and came from the Heart Dream Universe... The probability is very high," said the Flame Dragon Sovereign.

Jingyu Realm is the oldest realm in the universe.

It is another cosmic force, whose knowledge of the vast universe is far greater than that of the Immortal Realm in many aspects. After all, the powerful beings of the Immortal Realm cannot descend upon the numerous Dark Domains.

“Beihe?” A hint of reminiscence appeared in Jing Zhizun’s eyes: “Back then, I traded with him to obtain the Source Sea Mark, which enabled me to achieve something in the Source Sea of ​​Life… and thus strengthen the origin of the universe.”

"did not expect."

"Billions of years have passed in the blink of an eye, and we'll be dealing with his successors again," said Jing Zhizun.

“Master, this Quasi-Saint of the Heart Source is indeed a prodigy. Everyone says he will be the next supreme being in the universe… but he is only at the God King realm after all. Can he really help us?” Sovereign Yanlong couldn’t help but ask.

“He can’t help himself.” Jing Zhizun smiled slightly, “But the Eternal Ruins behind him can.” “Eternal Ruins?” Yanlong Sovereign was taken aback.

“He’s only at the God-King Realm, and he’s at the peak of the Emperor Realm… The Abyss Sea Sacrifice is about to begin, I don’t believe there’s no Eternal Ruins where he can be found.” Jing Zhizun said, “The Immortal Temple is the most likely location, but the Ancient Ruins of the Long River, the Nine Star Realm, and the Heavenly Demon Mountain are also possibilities.”

Clearly, as the most ancient supreme being in the universe, Supreme Being Jing knows many secrets, even the origin of the Abyss Sea Sacrifice.
"What about the Abyss?" Lord Yanlong asked curiously.

“That is the Abyss Sea Sacrifice, which is the home ground of the Abyss Will... Moreover, the Heart Source Quasi-Saint is hostile to the Abyss lineage.” Jing Zhizun shook his head slightly: “If I am not mistaken, the Abyss Will will most likely choose to intercept and kill him as much as possible.”

"Intercept and kill?" Sovereign Yanlong understood.

“Disciple, go and contact God Emperor Xinmeng… I want to talk to Quasi-Saint Xinyuan.”

……

As news of Li Yuan's peak Emperor Realm strength gradually spread, another piece of news emerged, this time originating from the Lord of the Bright Prison.

He is the ruler of the Abyss lineage.

Tuoyan Emperor was under his command. He publicly showed the scene of the battle between Li Yuan and Tuoyan Emperor, and said: "This battle broke out more than a hundred years ago. Obviously, back then, Xinyuan Quasi-Saint had already escaped from the Divine Wheel Sea and had nearly the peak of the Emperor Realm... More than a hundred years have passed, so it is normal for his strength to have improved further."

“Xinyuan Quasi-Saint is indeed an incredible genius cultivator.”

This news spread like wildfire once again.

It seems that Li Yuan did not unleash his peak Emperor Realm strength in the battle to kill Tuoyan, but this silenced most of the doubts.

It should be noted that in the previous battle footage, Li Yuan only withstood a single blow from the Abyss God Emperor, which could very well have been achieved by relying on a secret treasure.

However! The fact that Li Yuan was able to fight for a long time and kill an ordinary Emperor Realm cultivator one-on-one at least shows that his strength is close to the peak of the Emperor Realm.

"At least, it proves that Li Yuan is not afraid of being attacked by a peak Emperor Realm expert."

"Well, even if the Sovereign attacks, it would be difficult to suppress him instantly. So there's no chance of capturing him. If he's really in a desperate situation, he can still calmly commit suicide."

"Now it seems that it's basically impossible to really kill him." In the vast universe, the high-ranking officials of many star city forces were pondering and discussing.

"I have a question. The battle between the Quasi-Saint of Heart Source and the Emperor of Tuoyan was more than a hundred years ago. Why didn't the Lord of Ming Prison spread this news earlier?" Some Lords also expressed their doubts.

“The Lord of the Prison said… He was unwilling to reveal the information before because he didn’t want to offend the Quasi-Saint of the Heart Source. Now that the information has been made public, it doesn’t matter if he says it again.”

……

The two messages, intertwined and transmitted, thoroughly proved Li Yuan's strength, and as time passed, many rulers finally made their decisions.

……

In the Supreme Star City of Hanxing, within a magnificent palace, all seven rulers gathered, each with a solemn expression.

Notice.

For thousands of years, they followed the Supreme's orders and mobilized a large amount of resources in the Supreme Star City in order to track down Li Yuan, only to come up empty-handed time and time again.

On the contrary, in this short period of time, the Quasi-Saint of the Heart Source broke through time and time again, and this speed of growth was simply terrifying to them.

"Everyone, news has just arrived from Taihua," said Yu Yi, the ruler who had four wings on his back and was bathed in endless light.

Whoosh! Whoosh! All the rulers present turned to look at him.

"They've decided to abandon their pursuit of the Quasi-Saint of Heart Source," Lord Yu Yi continued.

"This is the twenty-sixth ruler who chose to give up the pursuit. How many Quasi-Saints under Taihua's command have been killed? Just give up like this? Where is their shame?" The Lotus Symbol Ruler's face showed a hint of anger: "They all believed that they could not kill the Quasi-Saint Xinyuan and did not want to continue to offend him."

"But aren't they afraid of offending my Cold Journey Supreme Star City?"

“They are convinced that we cannot suppress dozens of star cities at the same time.” The Dark Furnace Overlord shook his head and said, “There is no point in arguing about this anymore.”

"Next."

"If we truly want to kill the Quasi-Saint of Heart Source, we can only rely on ourselves," said the Dark Furnace Overlord, and the other Overlords nodded in agreement.

Other star cities can give up the pursuit, or even pay a certain price to reach a settlement. As long as Xin Yuan Quasi-Saint isn't stupid, he will most likely agree.

However, Hanxing could not go to the Supreme Star City, as the enmity between the two sides had already run deep.

Moreover, so far, Supreme Cold Journey has not issued an order to cancel the bounty.

"Master has sent a message," the Dark Furnace Sovereign suddenly said.

He glanced at the other rulers in the hall and solemnly said, "Only one sentence."

"The Quasi-Saint of Heart Source will most likely enter the Abyss Sacrifice Sea, where we will seek another opportunity to eliminate him with all our might."

……

Within the immortal heavens and earth, inside the chaotic warship.

Li Yuan had just arrived when he received a message from the God Emperor Xinmeng: "Supreme Jing, do you wish to see me?"
