The Heaven-shattering: Starting from the Ancient Times

Chapter 551 The Emperor's Betrayal
Their ancestral homeland on the plateau is their only support.

Relying on the resurrection power bestowed upon them by their ancestral land, they acted with utter impunity.

Even the most perfect ability still has this flaw.

That means being suppressed by the Emperor's Banner, not death.

Therefore, even the ancestral land cannot be revived, which is a fatal flaw.

Fortunately, as long as we take proper precautions, we have nothing to fear from the Emperor's Banner.

However, the appearance of the Human Emperor still put pressure on the Ancestor.

Over these long years, the strange race has replenished its ranks with its remaining creatures.

As long as primordial matter exists, there will be no shortage of immortal emperors and progenitors.

Vast celestial light illuminates all worlds.

It was as if an eternal, blazing sun had appeared.

In an instant, the blazing light broke through the barriers of time and space, piercing through the past, present, and future.

Whether in the past, present, or future, it shines brightly.

A towering figure strode forward, his posture upright, holding a sword and a banner. The aura he exuded caused even the ancestor's expression to change drastically.

Immediately afterwards, another figure of unparalleled elegance stepped forward, surrounded by a shower of light.

The Pollen Empress arrives, stepping through the air.

Throughout the world, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The appearance of the two Heavenly Emperors, Human Emperor and Wild Leaf, means that there is still hope.

The world will not be destroyed in an instant.

After all, over the years, it was the Human Emperor and others who blocked the source of the strangeness, and even personally slaughtered the true progenitor.

At this moment, Chu Feng stared blankly at the stunningly beautiful woman.

"It's her! How could it be?"

When Chu Feng saw that person, he was incredulous.

"No, she's not her." Chu Feng couldn't believe it.

Although they look the same, they are ultimately different.

"All your efforts are in vain. You cannot invade our ancestral land. Even if you are unparalleled in combat, it is useless, simply because you are not of our race."

"Our ancestral land has existed since ancient times. Your attempt to destroy it is nothing but wishful thinking."

“As long as our ancestral land still exists, we are in an invincible position. At most, you can only maintain a stalemate with us.”

The numerous progenitors looked at the Human Emperor and others with icy tones, and the world seemed to have entered a deep winter, making people feel extremely cold.

To truly penetrate the ancestral lands, one must either actively embrace the ominous.

Only in this way can one's identity be recognized by the ancestral land and thus be allowed to enter it.

But what's the point of that?

I am no longer myself; I may even become a member of their tribe.

As for the ancestors, they all believed that the ancestral land might be alive.

Over the long course of time, the ancestor had long noticed something amiss.

They learned of the anomalies in their ancestral land.

However, their relationship with their ancestral land is one of interdependence.

Even in one-on-one duels, they were no match for the Human Emperor and others.

But as long as their ancestral land exists, they are immortal.

For them, death was actually a new beginning.

It was precisely because of this reliance that the ancestor was so calm and composed.

"Stop talking nonsense."

At this moment, the Desolate Emperor suddenly moved and swung his sword.

Even someone as powerful as the progenitor was decapitated by this single sword strike.

For beings at this level.

For them, the explosion of their physical bodies was nothing more than a matter of instantaneous recovery.

At the same time, the other nine progenitors joined forces and took a step forward.

Within that ominous blood mist, the ancestor reassembled his true form, his gaze cold as he looked at the Desolate Emperor, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

There was no anger in the eyes of this progenitor; he remained extremely indifferent. The injuries he had just sustained meant nothing to him.

This great war of sacrifice began directly, erupting beyond all worlds.

The Desolate Emperor faced off against the three Primordial Ancestors alone.

As for Ye Fan, he faced off against the three progenitors alone.

As for the Pollen Empress, she faced off against an ancestor.

Chen Zhao looked at the remaining three progenitors, his gaze icy, and said, "Gentlemen, please come in for a discussion!"

Now, his Emperor Banner lacks a being of the ancestral level to oversee it.

Upon hearing this, the three progenitors all showed expressions of fear.

At this time, the Emperor was among the three progenitors.

His eyes gleamed with an unusual light, as if he were pondering something.

In an instant, the Emperor's eyes met those of the Human Emperor.

They both understood each other's thoughts.

An exchange was completed silently.

As for the other two progenitors, they were completely unaware that a crisis was descending silently upon them.

The Emperor Banner in Chen Zhao's hand suddenly unfurled, blotting out the sky and fluttering loudly.

A vast expanse of purple energy transformed into endless chains, sealing off this space-time and time, aiming to completely annihilate the progenitor.

Each of these chains was enveloped in a bluish light and adorned with ancient Taoist patterns.

The endless purple chains transformed into a divine purple-gold beam that traversed time and space, hurtling towards the progenitor.

This attack transcended the concept of time and space, blasting towards all the imprints of the progenitor's past, present, and future.

Even the progenitor's expression changed drastically when faced with this attack.

They sensed danger in the attack.

Without hesitation, the two progenitors exerted all their strength in an attempt to escape.

They do not intend to confront the Emperor's Banner head-on.

This does them no good at all.

As for the Emperor, his eyes flashed with cold light, but he did not make a move immediately, still waiting for an opportunity.

A flash of inspiration struck, and the Emperor devised a plan.

As the two progenitors fled, this purple-gold divine light headed towards the Emperor.

It seemed poised to suppress him on the spot.

Upon seeing this, the two ancestors who had originally planned to flee immediately turned back.

"Heavenly Demon, we're here to help you!"

The two progenitors unleashed their sacrificial power, intending to rescue the Heavenly Demon.

If the Heavenly Demon were truly absorbed into the Human Emperor's Banner, it would be a loss to the strength of their race.

Therefore, the two progenitors could not stand by and watch the demon die, and planned to rescue the Heavenly Demon.

At this moment, the purple-gold divine light had completely enveloped the Heavenly Demon, swirling around his body, and was about to drag him into the Human Emperor Banner.

The moment the two progenitors rescued the Heavenly Demon.

Behind them, the Emperor's eyes flashed with cold light, and he suddenly launched an attack!

"You can't leave!"

The Emperor let out a long roar and slammed out both palms.

The vast, ominous power transformed into two jet-black chains, instantly binding the bodies of the two progenitors.

The chains were covered with strange runes.

The Emperor used his own essence to directly seal the connection between the Ancestor and the ancestral land of the plateau!

"Heavenly Demon, you!" One of the progenitors turned around in shock and anger, unable to believe it.

The Emperor sneered, "You don't really think I'm one of your people, do you?"

He formed a hand seal, and the chains suddenly tightened. "You two should enter the banner."

Upon seeing this, Chen Zhao laughed loudly: "Good!"

The Emperor's Banner fluttered in the wind, its purple-gold divine light intertwining with dark chains, completely imprisoning the two Primordial Ancestors. "No!" With a shrill scream, the two Primordial Ancestors were forcibly dragged toward the Emperor's Banner.

Their bodies began to disintegrate, turning into wisps of black mist that were swallowed by the banner.

Two ferocious faces immediately appeared on the Emperor's Banner, which were the true spirits of the suppressed ancestor.

What just happened shocked everyone present.

"what's the situation!"

Even people throughout the world were shocked.

Surprisingly, one of the progenitors chose to betray the emperor and join forces with him, imprisoning the other two progenitors within the Emperor's banner.

"Heavenly Demon, you traitor!" roared the Ancestor!

No one expected that at this crucial moment, the Heavenly Demon would choose to betray them!

You should know that the Heavenly Demon consumed the primordial substance, so in theory, it would be impossible for it to betray its race.

How could this situation suddenly occur?

Even the progenitor was shocked and puzzled, unable to understand why the Heavenly Demon would act this way.

Lingbao Tianzun and the others looked at the Emperor, their eyes revealing an expression of "I knew it."

They knew the Emperor wouldn't betray them, and just as they thought, he actually infiltrated and became the progenitor, which was beyond everyone's imagination.

At that moment, both Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun felt that the originally unbreakable shackles were beginning to waver, as if the realm of the Immortal Emperor was right before their eyes.

"Could it be that?"

The two exchanged a glance and immediately realized that this change was likely caused by the Emperor.

"How can you talk about betrayal? I was never one of your people from the beginning."

The Emperor stood with his hands behind his back in the chaotic void, his gaze fixed on the Ancestor, his eyes filled with mockery.

"How come you were never assimilated by the primordial matter from beginning to end?" the progenitor exclaimed in surprise.

From the Emperor's words, they learned a truth that they could not believe.

That is the Heavenly Demon, or rather, the Emperor.

He was never assimilated by the original matter; he remained the same person.

This left the Ominous Ancestor completely baffled. After all, the original substance was that person's ashes, containing the great power of the sacrificial path. How could it possibly be blocked?

However, at this juncture, the Emperor did not intend to explain to the Ancestor.

This is a secret between him and the Emperor.

A look of surprise appeared in Ye Fan's eyes.

Although he knew in the past that the Emperor was an undercover agent, ever since the Emperor became the mysterious Immortal Emperor...

Ye Fan wondered if the Emperor might actually have been corrupted by the primordial substance.

After all, that primordial substance was far too terrifying, the source of all misfortune and strangeness.

The old Emperor is as cunning as ever, having lurked among the strange races for so long.

He originally thought that the Emperor would not be able to withstand the pollution of the primordial matter and would completely degenerate into a monster.

I never expected the Emperor to have such abilities.

The fact that the Emperor was an undercover agent brought Ye Fan a great sense of relief.

No matter what, he still has some familial ties with the Emperor.

Although the two did not have the title of master and disciple, they were in fact master and disciple.

At that moment, everyone was surprised to find that incredible flames were emanating from the Emperor's body.

The flames were enveloping the Emperor, burning him.

Under the endless flames, the Emperor's Dao Fruit illuminated the void, constantly collapsing and dissipating.

Even the primordial substance on the Emperor's body, which exuded an ominous aura, began to dissipate.

The so-called primordial matter, under the burning of this eerie flame, completely dissipated into the world.

Even the Emperor's figure dimmed and became blurry.

It seemed as if it could vanish completely at any moment.

boom!
The whole world resonated with it, and then all worlds trembled.

An endless road was burned, its brilliant light illuminating the past, present, and future.

At this moment, the Emperor's aura became incomparably powerful, shaking all worlds.

The Emperor emerged anew, bathed in the flames of the Great Dao.

At this moment, the Emperor exuded a vast aura, majestic and awe-inspiring, looking down upon all living beings.

"Heaven, earth, man, gods, and ghosts all worship the Emperor."

A voice echoed from the depths of time, reverberating through the ages.

He stood before the many ancestors, as if to receive their kowtows.

At this moment, the Emperor returned to his original appearance.

He chose to sacrifice his strange Dao Fruit, and everything else.

Just as he had guessed, he successfully entered the realm of sacrificial arts.

"this!"

Even the progenitor of the uncanny was incredulous.

The Heavenly Demon burned everything within itself, abandoning its sacrificial Dao fruit, and once again stepped into the sacrificial Dao realm.

In particular, it does not rely on primordial matter to enter the realm of ritual.

The current Emperor has no trace of ominous aura about him.

The aura it exuded was so powerful that even the progenitor felt extremely wary of it.

Sensing the changes, the Emperor's lips curled into a smile.

How can one meet his requirements to enter the realm of ritual by consuming strange substances?

Therefore, the Emperor made a choice that ordinary people dared not imagine.

He directly sacrificed his own Dao Fruit and stepped into the Dao of Sacrifice once again.

Even Chen Zhao looked at the Emperor with surprise, not expecting him to do such a thing.

But in the blink of an eye, he understood everything.

Given the Emperor's pride, how could he allow himself to rely on primordial matter for sacrificial rituals?

Although the power of primordial matter is immense, it ultimately does not belong to itself.

Therefore, the Emperor chose to abandon everything, burn the Great Dao, transcend the Supreme, and step into the realm of sacrificial rituals anew.

Even the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and Ye Fan frowned slightly, not expecting the Emperor to make such a choice.

But it's all for the best, since primordial matter ultimately doesn't belong to itself.

Boom!

At that moment, a terrifying wave erupted, sweeping across all worlds.

Some people choose to become emperors at this point in time.

Everyone looked toward the direction of the myriad worlds, including the progenitor.

They were all curious about who would become emperor at this moment.

"So it was Lingbao and Daode."

Chen Zhao's gaze fell upon all the worlds, and he happened to see the two people of Emperor Cheng.

He was overjoyed to find that they were his two old acquaintances.

After enduring such a long and arduous period, the two finally became emperors.

As the Emperor burned away his own Great Dao and stepped back into the realm of sacrificial rituals, the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao and the Heavenly Venerable Daode also broke free of their shackles and began to strive towards becoming the Immortal Emperor!

At this moment, the eerie progenitor's face was ashen.

It was bad enough that the Heavenly Demons betrayed them, but now, in all the worlds, there are still people who want to become emperors.

After all, it is difficult for a Celestial Emperor to be born in countless eras, and even the Strange Primordial Ancestor must be taken seriously.

Although the beings who performed the sacrificial rituals were powerful, they ultimately did not completely transcend the realm of the Immortal Emperor.

The progenitor never imagined such a change would occur.

In this battle, they directly lost three of their sacrificial warriors.

Unexpectedly, they fell into a disadvantageous position as soon as the battle began.

However, the strange ancestor's gaze towards the Emperor showed a desire to kill him as soon as possible.

If it weren't for this person's betrayal, they wouldn't have fallen into such a desperate situation.
