The Heaven-shattering: Starting from the Ancient Times

Chapter 535 The Darkness Deep Within the River of Souls

Heavens.

On that boundless embankment, sits an imperial pass.

The city wall in front is thick and majestic, standing on the embankment, like a vast world, boundless and limitless, occupying the entire embankment world.

On the city wall, there are bloodstains, stained with the blood of true warriors, which have never faded.

In addition to exuding an ancient and weathered aura, the entire Imperial Pass also possesses a chilling and menacing atmosphere.

At this moment, Ye Fan stood atop the Imperial Pass, looking ahead with a desolate tone.

"This Imperial Pass itself is a testament to the heavens' struggle against darkness, bearing the imprints of countless outstanding figures throughout history and across the universe."

"Later on, the Imperial Pass became a battleground for powerful figures from all the heavens and myriad realms. Their blood was spilled here, making this place immortal."

After hearing what Ye Fan said, Duan De nodded and said, "Yes, when I first came to the Imperial Pass, it was Fellow Daoist Lingbao who asked me to persuade the Emperor to turn back from the wrong path."

“I felt something was wrong back then, and now that I think about it, it was all a setup by Fellow Daoist Lingbao and my disciple.”

Looking down at the Imperial Pass, Duan De was immediately filled with unpleasant memories.

"We're preparing to set off." Ye Fan's tone was somewhat heavy.

They are preparing to take military action against the four major outposts.

Moreover, there are plans to completely eradicate the darkness of the Boundary Sea.

After all, the Dark Hour lurking in the Boundary Sea is like lurking at one's own doorstep.

It's really not safe.

The heavens are constantly threatened by darkness.

Boom!

As the heavens trembled, a terrifying power emerged, causing all the ancient heavens to shake.

A terrifying power emanated from the Great Luo Heaven and spread outwards to all the heavens.

"It seems that the Tea Emperor has made a breakthrough."

Black Emperor, dressed in floral shorts, stood with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of Great Luo Heaven, his tone somewhat wistful.

"Yes, as expected. It would be strange if he couldn't break through with his talent and ability," Ye Fan nodded.

Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Such beings, born to embody the Dao, are truly children of the Great Dao.

If we only consider this identity, it's nothing special.

Moreover, he is a disciple of the Human Emperor, a status that cannot be ignored.

However, once you reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, talent and ability become the key to advancing your cultivation.

"When will I be able to reach the level of Immortal King?" the Black Emperor sighed.

He has cultivated diligently for so long, but he has only entered the realm of Quasi-Immortal King. He feels that he still has a long way to go before he becomes a true Immortal King.

However, the Black Emperor was not discouraged. A Quasi-Immortal King was already a master of his generation, and he was more than capable of dominating the ordinary worlds for countless ages.

At that very moment, the entire heavens trembled once more.

Someone else has broken the king's rule and become emperor.

"Who is this person?" Ye Fan asked, somewhat puzzled.

This aura felt somewhat unfamiliar to him, no, it seemed strangely familiar, as if he had encountered it before.

"This is a peerless holy spirit, and also a disciple of the Human Emperor. He is revered by the world as the Green Gold Emperor, but after attaining enlightenment, he rarely appears in the human world."

"Moreover, their whereabouts are mysterious, so it's normal that you don't know them."

At this moment, Duan De looked at the heavens and revealed the identity of the person who was breaking through.

Even Duan De couldn't help but sigh.

The disciples of the Human Emperor are indeed extraordinary; they have already risen to prominence, and their brilliance is astonishing to all the heavens, inspiring awe in all.

At this moment, Ye Fan was still deep in thought, staring at that tall and straight figure, lost in thought.

Who exactly is this person?

Why does it evoke a sense of familiarity?

Could it be that I actually encountered it before? How could I have no recollection of it?
However, at Ye Fan's level, searching for his own memories is quite simple.

They immediately understood and realized who this person was.

"Damn, that's the guy!" Ye Fan exclaimed suddenly, realizing something.

He finally remembered who this person was.

The Green and Gold Emperor.

Although this person had not appeared for many years, he had never met him.

However, Ye Fan knew very well that he had met him once when he was on Earth.

Mount Tai, parking lot, security guard.

And there's also my Mercedes that I owe.

All of this brought back Ye Fan's memories.

Why does this feel so familiar?

This man is the security guard from the parking lot at the foot of Mount Tai.

His Mercedes, which had vanished without a trace, was now in his hands.

At this moment, many thoughts surfaced in Ye Fan's mind.

The Green Gold Emperor is the same as the Imperial Emperor.

He was merely an executor on the surface; whether it was honing his skills or the Mercedes vanished without a trace.

The real mastermind is the Human Emperor.

What was the Emperor after all? It was just an ordinary Mercedes; what was there to scheme about?

Is it really for his own parking fee?

What kind of parking fee could be so valuable? This puzzled Ye Fan.

It was a scheme orchestrated by the Emperor.

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Fan put the matter aside and stopped thinking about it.

We can ask the Green Gold Emperor directly later what his purpose is.

At that moment, the celestial kings from all the heavens arrived one after another.

In this campaign to conquer the four outposts, all the celestial kings of the heavens will have to contribute.

The Tea Emperor has arrived, and the Green Emperor has also arrived.

Even the Kuntian Emperor, who had recovered from his injuries, came.

Fuxi and Nuwa also arrived together.

Ye Fan kept watching the people who came.

Upon discovering that the Green Gold Emperor had arrived, he did not hesitate but went straight to greet him.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist!" Ye Fan smiled and said.

"Fellow Daoist, I know what you want to ask, but I am also unaware of this matter."

The Green Gold Emperor also laughed, but his tone was somewhat stiff.

In fact, he naturally knew why Ye Fan had come—it must be for that Mercedes-Benz.

"May I ask, fellow Daoist, where is my Mercedes?" Ye Fan inquired.

He felt that the Mercedes was a potential problem, so he planned to take it back.

"The Mercedes has already been handed over to Master, and I don't know where it is," Green Gold Emperor said, shaking his head.

When Ye Fan saw the Green Gold Emperor, he didn't seem to be lying, so he didn't ask any further questions.

An inexplicable sense of foreboding crept into my heart.

That means if you don't get your Mercedes back, it won't be so easy to get it back in the future.

After failing to get any answers from his inquiries, Ye Fan had no choice but to give up.

Now he has no idea where the Emperor is or how to get his Mercedes back.

After finishing his conversation with the Green Gold Emperor, Ye Fan arrived at the Imperial Pass.

"Gentlemen, darkness lurks deep within the Boundary Sea. Now is the time for us to sweep away the darkness in one fell swoop."

"The best defense is to take the initiative. Currently, none of the four frontline battles are overseen by a Celestial Emperor."

"Moreover, it suffered heavy losses during its previous invasion of the heavens, so this is our best opportunity to eliminate it."

Ye Fan's heavy voice resounded throughout the Imperial Pass, revealing the purpose of his trip.

Everyone listened intently, lost in thought. Rumors about pacifying the unrest at sea had circulated throughout the heavens, but no one had confirmed them.

Although everyone was gathered at the Imperial Pass, they all knew what was going to happen today.

Ye Fan's personal announcement that he would go to sea to quell the unrest has stirred everyone's emotions.

No one felt fear; on the contrary, they were excited and enthusiastic.

At this moment, two more people landed on the Imperial Pass; they were none other than Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun.

"In order to quell the darkness in the Boundary Sea, Fuxi and I set up an array in the Boundary Sea."

"As we all know, the Boundary Sea is vast and boundless. Even for Quasi-Immortal Emperors, it is very difficult to return quickly after venturing deep into the Boundary Sea."

"Therefore, setting up the formation will be beneficial for our conquest of the Boundary Sea."

Since they both intend to pacify the four outposts and sweep away the darkness of the Boundary Sea.

Then Lingbao Tianzun and the others would naturally have to come up with a foolproof plan.

I won't recklessly charge ahead.

Therefore, this formation was set up by him and Fuxi together.

Because of the Great Dao he cultivated, Fuxi's mastery of formations was extremely profound.

It was thanks to Fuxi's help, along with the combined efforts of many quasi-immortal emperors, that this was achieved.

That's why they were able to quickly build a special guiding formation in the Boundary Sea, enabling them to cross it.

Before the Imperial Pass appeared a passage that seemed to have no end; this passage was entirely formed by the intertwining of the divine laws of order.

This passage stands above the boundary sea, and beneath it lies the vast and magnificent boundary sea, echoing with the sound of crashing waves.

The area above was filled with symbols of the Great Dao, profound and unfathomable.

"set off!"

At a command, everyone stepped onto the passage and headed towards the Boundary Sea.

At this moment, the entire heavens trembled. All living beings never expected to witness such a vast and wondrous sight.

War songs resounded throughout the heavens as they embarked on the path to quell the turmoil.

Such a large-scale voyage was unprecedented in the history of the heavens, except for the time when the Azure Emperor led his Heavenly Court to the Boundary Sea.

Even that time couldn't compare to this one, because this time the scale was simply too enormous.

There are many Quasi-Immortal Emperors.

Even disregarding Quasi-Immortal Emperors, there are still many powerful Immortal Kings.

The group set off, making quite a commotion.

Especially with all four outposts keeping an eye on the heavens.

The four outposts learned of the situation in the heavens immediately.

The fact that a large army is now setting out on a campaign will inevitably attract attention.

After everyone stepped into the Boundary Sea, countless dark armies appeared.

Numerous Celestial Kings have made their move, engaging in fierce battles with numerous Dark Celestial Kings on this Boundary Sea.

As for Ye Fan and the others' purpose, it was very clear: the Soul River.

Nuwa and the Green Gold Emperor did not go to the River of Souls, but stayed in the Boundary Sea to guard against this being a diversionary tactic.

The location of the River of Souls is extremely mysterious; it is a truly monstrous place, beyond any comprehension.

At this moment, many Quasi-Immortal Emperors embarked on their journey, heading towards the Soul River.

If it were done through normal means, even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor would find it extremely difficult to reach the Soul River.

After all, it was absolutely the most terrifying and bizarre place in the history of the heavens.

However, on the side of the heavens, because of the presence of the Emperor Venerable as an undercover agent, they easily grasped the location of the River of Souls without having to pay a heavy price.

This is a special road that appears before everyone.

This route is formed by mysterious forces, and it radiates out in concentric ripples, forming a special network.

At the center of this net is a deep tunnel.

In a daze, everyone seemed to hear the sound of flowing river water, and also the wails of countless souls.

The sound was extremely terrifying; even beings who had not reached the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level would feel their scalp tingle.

These ripples spread from the banks of the Hun River, extending outwards along this road, as if sensing everything that was happening here.

"The creatures inside have already revived," Ye Fan said solemnly.

He was not careless, after all, this was the River of Souls, a mysterious outpost in the heavens.

Just then, the group embarked on this path and plunged into the terrifying banks of the River of Souls.

Continuing onward, we came across an inscribed stone tablet on a reef.

"Watch out, danger!"

Looking at the warning words on the stone tablet, everyone fell into deep thought.

It was obvious that someone had been here before.

However, the person did not investigate further and hurriedly set off.

“The Desolate Heavenly Emperor,” said the Celestial Venerable Lingbao.

He recognized the unique aura emanating from the stone tablet.

Clearly, this aura originated from the Desolate Emperor.

"It seems that the former Desolate Heavenly Emperor hastily departed," said the Moral Celestial Venerable.

"It is conceivable that the four major outposts were not active during the chaotic ancient era and were hidden very deeply."

Ye Fan spoke.

The purpose of this stone tablet must be to make people aware of it and to leave a warning for future generations.

"This shows that the River of Souls is truly dangerous," the Empress said after a moment of silence.

"We are not afraid of danger, let's fight our way in."

The Great Emperor Wushi spoke with a powerful and murderous tone.

At that moment, the entire River of Souls seemed to come back to life, beginning to reveal its strange and unpredictable side.

Any living being with a soul, as long as it is within a certain range, will feel the call of the Hun River.

Boom.

The River of Souls was glowing, its waves crashing against the shore, and beneath the endless sand and gravel, it seemed as if some creature was about to emerge.

At that moment, an immeasurable pressure appeared, emanating from a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Everyone was on high alert, and the most powerful force surged forth.

The waves surged, the Hun River roared, and a crystal-clear, ethereal light swirled around it.

"Make your move and blast this place to smithereens! I refuse to believe the people inside won't show themselves!"

Ye Fan said, and the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron beneath his feet emitted countless strands of Great Dao runes, which resonated with the entire world. At this moment, he launched an attack.

At the end of the River of Souls, a terrifying aura permeates the air.

The two collided, producing a powerful and resounding sound.

At that very moment, at that very moment, the creatures in the River of Souls appeared.

The entire River of Souls was trembling, and the past and present seemed to be turned upside down.

In addition, the quasi-immortal emperors of the other three major forces have come here to provide support!

The people at the four outposts could not sit idly by and watch all the living beings in the heavens be defeated one by one.

"It's truly unexpected that you were able to find this place," a strange, hoarse voice of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor rang out.

"Do you all really think our River of Souls is that simple?"

Upon hearing these strange words from a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, everyone present was startled.

Could it be that something new has happened?
Otherwise, why would this strange Quasi-Immortal Emperor be so arrogant?
Just then, a terrifying fluctuation came from the depths of the River of Souls.

This fluctuation is extremely special, having surpassed the level of a quasi-immortal emperor and reached another realm.

Everyone's heart sank.

Someone in the Soul River is becoming an emperor!
"Haha, you're too late. That person is already preparing to enter that field."

A strange laugh from a Quasi-Immortal Emperor echoed through the Soul River.

The appearance of a single being who has reached the end of the road is enough to turn the tide of the entire situation.

These people came at the wrong time; they're just asking for trouble.

If these people had arrived any earlier, it would have disrupted their plans.
