The Heaven-shattering: Starting from the Ancient Times

Chapter 547 The Emperor Ascends to Power
A strange plateau.

As the ancestor finished speaking, the entire plateau fell silent, instantly becoming still.

This is something that even the most mysterious immortal emperors know.

Once the progenitor dies, they can take his place and assume his position.

In the past, they would never have believed that their ancestor could have died.

After all, in their previous understanding, the progenitor was definitely the strongest being in all ages, and there was no way out for them.

No one possesses such immense power to slay the progenitor.

But what happened next shattered the strange Immortal Emperor's understanding.

Even something as powerful as the progenitor can fall.

When the first progenitor fell, the mysterious Immortal Emperor found it hard to believe.

However, when other progenitors fell again, they were no longer surprised.

In reality, every one of these strange Immortal Emperors secretly hoped that their progenitor would die soon.

To be too old to die is to be a thief.

Especially for the promotion of the bizarre races, it's a one-to-one process.

If the progenitor had not died, these immortal emperors would not have been able to ascend to the throne.

They had all reached the end of their road, and what they sought in their hearts was to transcend that end and enter a higher level.

The progenitor is immortal.

That means they have no chance to rise to power.

Despite the seemingly devoted and hardworking appearance of the Eerie Immortal Emperor, he secretly longs for the Human Emperor to eliminate the Eerie Ancestor and then ascend to the throne.

However, the hierarchy within the strange race was very strict, so the Strange Immortal Emperor could only suppress his thoughts.

I never thought I'd actually have the chance to become the progenitor!
With the opportunity right in front of them, all the Immortal Emperors were filled with mixed emotions, their eyes gleaming with an inexplicable light, as if they were pondering something.

The Emperor, in particular, glanced at the Immortal Emperors around him.

I saw desire and ambition in their eyes.

No one wants to perform a ritual.

These strange immortal emperors all raised their heads, glanced at the people around them, and their eyes were full of fear.

Humility.

How could that be? There is no mercy to speak of among the strange Immortal Emperors.

Especially when there is an opportunity to "progress," who would be modest? Anyone who can cultivate to the level of Immortal Emperor is certainly not some foolish saint.

Countless worlds have been destroyed.

Among the Immortal Emperors, seniority is not the deciding factor; might makes right. If you disagree, then fight it out.

The Emperor also saw the strange look in the Immortal's eyes.

There are currently four ancestral names available.

There are seven Immortal Emperors who are qualified to compete for a spot.

This will surely be a fierce battle.

He, the Emperor, rightfully deserved the position of the progenitor.

He lay low, waiting for 30,000 years, then another 30,000 years. How many 30,000 years have passed? Even the Emperor himself doesn't know.

He made progress time and time again, and finally reached this point.

The progenitor of the bizarre.

Emperor Zun was determined to obtain this ancestral position.

Once he becomes the progenitor, Emperor Venerable will surely "open his heart and soul" to the entire clan.

In terms of strength, he didn't take these strange immortal emperors seriously.

In a one-on-one situation, Emperor Zun is second to none.

These Celestial Emperors who consume ashes can bully Quasi-Celestial Emperors, but when they really face a Celestial Emperor who breaks through on his own, they are no match for him in a one-on-one fight.

Therefore, the Emperor is not afraid of having his position as the progenitor taken away.

The only thing that made the Emperor doubt was whether the Human Emperor's methods could allow him to withstand the primordial matter once again.

According to the strange progenitor's speculation, the Human Emperor possessed a supreme treasure that was above the Dao of Sacrifice.

This treasure may be the source of the Human Emperor's secret.

The Human Emperor's means of resisting the strange erosion came from that special treasure.

Everything is ready now, except for the final push.

As long as the Emperor's methods can withstand the contamination of the primordial substances.

Then his position as the progenitor of the Emperor will be secure.

The other ancestors also knew that these four spots would cause a struggle.

After all, this is the path to becoming an ancestor.

Every living being at the end of the road wants to go further, and with the opportunity right in front of them, no one can resist the temptation.

However, they didn't care, as the position of the progenitor has always been held by the capable.

If you have the ability, you can rise to a higher position; if you lack the ability, you can't blame others or fate.

"The primordial matter in our hands can be given to you, so that you may be transformed into one of us."

"With the power of primordial matter, you too can reach the end of your path, ascend to the realm of sacrificial rituals, and become true progenitors."

The progenitor said coldly, "We will not interfere with your choices."

"But now there are seven of you, while there are only four positions for the progenitor. Under the principle of survival of the fittest, you will compete fairly."

The progenitor had no intention of intervening in this struggle; instead, he let them fight it out on their own.

As for who will get the position of the progenitor, that depends on who is strong enough.

Through the process of survival of the fittest, sufficiently powerful progenitors will inevitably be selected.

Upon hearing the ancestor's words, each of the strange Immortal Emperors looked at the people around them with murderous intent in their eyes.

They naturally understand what this survival of the fittest means.

That means winning through strength.

This is a battle for the position of the progenitor.

No one intends to give up; the path to progress is right in front of us.

As for the Heavenly Demon, most of the Celestial Emperors didn't take it seriously, considering it nothing more than a supporting character who couldn't cause any trouble at all.

That is because the Heavenly Demon has only been an Immortal Emperor for a short time.

However, the strength of the Heavenly Demon was completely beyond their expectations, if it weren't for this battle.

No one expected that the Heavenly Demon's strength would be so terrifying.

He overpowered numerous strange Immortal Emperors and seized the opportunity to advance to the Ancestor level.

Even the progenitor was surprised.

They never expected that the Heavenly Demon, the least favored candidate, would actually surpass many Immortal Emperors to ascend to the throne.

However, they didn't pay much attention to it, only showing slight surprise.

The stronger the Heavenly Demons are, the stronger the progenitor they choose will be.

Regardless of the circumstances, as long as it can be confirmed that the Heavenly Demon is a member of their strange race, that's enough.

As for the Heavenly Demon being an undercover agent, the Ominous Ancestor had no such idea whatsoever.

After using the primordial substance, no one can maintain their original nature.

They will be assimilated and become part of their group no matter what.

After all, before they came into contact with the primordial matter, their race wasn't even considered a race.

Instead, they originated from various races, and underwent a strange transformation after being assimilated by primordial matter, thus becoming the races we are today.

As for the primordial substance, it is an ancient and unfathomable ash, or rather, bone ash.

The ashes of that being from the sacrificial path.

This is the ultimate source of their clan's power.

This substance is what has enabled their people to prosper for so long.

After winning, the Emperor remained calm.

Everything was just as he had predicted; these strange immortal emperors were no match for him at all.

According to the ranking system of that original Immortal Emperor, none of these strange Immortal Emperors reached the level of a Great Tyrannosaurus Rex.

In the past, the mysterious Immortal Emperor could rely on the passage of time to accumulate power and eventually become an Immortal Emperor of the Tyrannosaurus Rex level.

However, after the Human Emperor's multiple reshuffles, the personnel of the Mysterious Immortal Emperor have changed many times.

The current mysterious Immortal Emperors are all from the new generation; the truly veteran Immortal Emperors are gone. As for those Immortal Emperors, they have already entered the Human Emperor's Banner.

The battle has already been decided.

Those Celestial Emperors who lost all wore expressions of profound disappointment.

Even with the mindset of an Immortal Emperor, they were still disappointed at this point.

After all, they lost the chance to become the progenitors.

After all, even if many Immortal Emperors have accumulated enough experience, without that kind of enlightenment or special opportunity, they will not be able to set foot in the realm of sacrificial arts, even if they spend their entire lives doing so.

After this battle ended, the progenitor bestowed primordial matter.

Having obtained the primordial matter, the Immortal Emperor began preparations.

For them to have any hope of performing the ritual, they need to prepare for many years and devote themselves fully to it without being disturbed by external factors.

They were not afraid of the Emperor and his forces entering the plateau.

This is their ancestral land, their trump card, and their source of confidence.

Even with their cultivation level in the Dao of Sacrifice, if they were to charge in, they would only return with bloodshed.

As the strange races fell silent, the heavens began to revive once more.

Ye Fan and the others were trying to break through to the Immortal Emperor level. On the path to becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, they had already undergone three transformations.

Having reached the pinnacle of Dao Ancestor, there are very few beings like him throughout all the ages.

They were only a hair's breadth away from becoming Immortal Emperors, but that hair's breadth was like an insurmountable abyss.

After this dark attack, every Quasi-Immortal Emperor is seeking a way to break through to the Immortal Emperor level.

A new era has arrived, and the powerful figures of the old era are mostly keeping a low profile, focusing instead on improving their cultivation.

The quasi-immortal emperors of the heavens began to travel to the surrounding worlds.

Among all the worlds, there are not only heavens, but also a vast and boundless world, like stars imprinted on the chaotic sea.

Ye Fan chose to travel through various worlds, experiencing different paths of evolution and perfecting his own path to becoming an emperor.

The other quasi-immortal emperors were the same; they traveled through various worlds, seeking the way to become emperors while adventuring.

After spending some time in the heavens, Chen Zhao did not linger and chose to leave.

They are stationed at the front lines.

This is a vast world created in the void.

This place is very close to the eerie plateau, so if the eerie race makes any moves, they will definitely notice.

Emperor Huangtian and the others have returned to the front lines.

Someone always has to bear the burden, waiting for those who come after them.

In particular, the Desolate Emperor had already glimpsed a blurry corner of the future.

Besides Ye Fan, other newcomers will appear.

Inside an ancient and simple hall, sat a group of the most outstanding people from all ages.

They are also the main force in the battle against the strange and powerful, and even the weakest among them have the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor.

Suddenly, Chen Zhao, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, opened his eyes, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"The Celestial Emperor of the strange race is filling the vacancy."

Chen Zhao shared the information he knew.

"Fill in the gap".

Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback.

The Celestial Emperor fills the vacancy.

It must be to fill the position of the progenitor.

They all knew that if the ancestral priest of the strange tribe was missing...

The Mysterious Immortal Emperor, on the other hand, can take over the position of the progenitor and become the new progenitor.

It is clear that the strange race is now restoring its strength.

In this situation, everyone is helpless.

The strange tribes are holed up on the plateau, but they are unable to enter it.

Even though they could enter the plateau, they didn't want to, after all, the fate of the Pollen Empress was still fresh in their minds.

The plateau is alive, and possesses the quality of a ritual path.

If they were to enter the plateau, wouldn't that be like lambs to the slaughter?

Therefore, they had no good way to deal with the strange tribes that hid on the plateau.

“When the Strange Immortal Emperor takes over the position of the progenitor, the Strange Clan will certainly not make any moves,” the Desolate Heaven Emperor said solemnly.

After dealing with them for so long, he knew exactly what kind of strange races they were.

"Yes, but we can't do anything about them right now," the Primordial Immortal Emperor replied.

"As for going to the plateau, there's no need for that at all; it would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den."

Pollen Empress sighed.

If given another chance to choose, she would certainly not enter the eerie plateau.

Now faced with this choice again, knowing full well that venturing into the plateau would mean certain death, Pollen Emperor no longer intends to recklessly charge in.

As she said, it was completely ineffective; it was just like throwing a lamb to the slaughter.

Upon hearing what the Pollen Empress said, everyone nodded in agreement.

That's what makes this bizarre race so disgusting.

When they were outmatched, they retreated directly to the plateau.

“This is also a good opportunity, and a chance for all worlds to develop,” Chen Zhao said.

"Ye Fan and the others are all trying to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm. It's a good thing that the strange race has become quiet now."

"However, we still need to keep a close eye on the movements of the strange race, so that no one will come out to obstruct them at the crucial moment when they are about to become Immortal Emperors."

Chen Zhao said slowly.

After all, given the nature of this strange race, they would never allow any living being in the world to easily break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

After all, in the original story, Huang's own children were blocked by the progenitor.

At such a critical moment, we must protect them; otherwise, if the progenitor were to make a move, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Yes, we must be prepared. We must always be on guard against the movements of the progenitors and not let them interfere with the breakthroughs of those who come after us."

After a moment of silence, the Desolate Emperor spoke.

His own life has also reached a critical moment, and he is ready to challenge the realm of the Immortal Emperor at any time.

Not only that, there are also powerful beings in the heavens who have reached this level.

Fortunately, he was not alone; he had many helpers.

boom!
A terrifying aura has emerged; someone is attempting to breach the Immortal Emperor's realm.

This surprised Chen Zhao, who looked towards the chaos beyond the heavens.

The person who was attempting to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm was none other than Ye Fan.

I originally thought it would be Wu Shi or the Empress who would be the first to break into the Immortal Emperor realm, but I didn't expect it to be Ye Fan.

Sure enough, Ye Fan was like a spring; the higher the pressure, the faster he grew.

As expected of a player who makes rapid progress in the later stages.

When Ye Fan was attempting to become an Immortal Emperor, both Chen Zhao and the Desolate Emperor became wary.

Without exception, they were all on guard against the Ancestors' Association taking action.

After all, strange races don't care about martial ethics.

Sneak attacks and gang fights are their specialty.

On a strange plateau.

Although the strange race has fallen silent, the progenitor still watches over all worlds.

When Ye Fan chose to attempt to become an Immortal Emperor, the terrifying aura was immediately detected by the Ancestor.

"Among all the worlds, how quickly have beings reached the end of their path?"

"So it was him, the one whose face is very similar to Huang's."

"This person is very strange. We must not let him reach the end of the road. If we let him reach the end of the road, it may become another variable."

The ancestor who dwells on the plateau has made his choice in just a few words.

That means taking action to block the way.
