Man in the heavens, wins by lying down to prove the truth

Chapter 219: A line of flickering footprints, the end and rise of an era

Boom!

The majestic imperial glory was dazzling, filling the sea of ​​​​the world. Thousands of wailing sounds were forcing the nine-colored divine light back into the wooden box.

But the next moment, a terrifying aura burst out, the sea boundary was in disaster, and it broke into pieces.

"Those who establish the Heavenly Court in vain shall be punished!"

A cold voice sounded from the wooden box, and a bright light flowed over it, illuminating the entire wooden box and making it transparent.

Vaguely one could see a bone scepter, surrounded by a dense dark source, slashing towards the Lord of Heaven.

"Is the so-called Heavenly Court your excuse for slaughtering all living beings?"

The imperial glory surged, the fire of the avenue boiled, and the Lord of Heaven struck forward, causing great turmoil in the sea of ​​​​realm.

Zhou Cheng had seen that ancient artifact, which was the ancestral artifact from a foreign land. It had a very ancient origin, so ancient that it was suspected to be a relic from the era of the first emperor who created the world.

Suddenly, another nine-colored glow exploded from the void and descended. It was another wooden box, blooming with nine-colored light, dazzling and bright.

A cold white skull emerged, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a crown, or rather... an emperor's crown!
Boom!

The origin of darkness swirled and surged from under the emperor's crown, and also transformed into a living being.

Zhou Cheng had never seen this ancient artifact before, but he could guess that it was most likely the ancestral artifact found in the burial ground.

"Darkness is eternal, everything is reincarnation, no one can break it~!"

The creatures of the Emperor's Crown opened their mouths and attacked the Lord of Heaven.

Boom!

This is an unimaginable war that is difficult for the Immortal King to spy on, and all the worlds are protected by the dam.

Endless fragments of the avenue appeared in the sky, years and time and space no longer existed, and the entire sea of ​​​​boundaries collapsed again and again.

The other side of the dam.

"The Emperor...will win, right?"

An immortal king with only the right half of his body left appeared beside Zhou Cheng, looking at him with some hope, hoping to get affirmation.

In the flourishing heaven, tens of thousands of people from all realms gathered together.

But now, there are only more than a thousand Immortal Kings left, and almost none of them are in full condition. Each of them is missing limbs and huddled around Zhou Cheng.

The thirteen supreme beings who had touched the realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperor had all fallen, leaving only the Lord of Heaven to break through before the battle.

The Immortal Kings present were unable to see the scene on the battlefield through the brilliant imperial light, so they all looked at Zhou Cheng, wanting to know the situation on the battlefield.

Zhou Cheng's illusory figure has become much more solid. The ancient artifact of origin has come into the world, too many kings have fallen, and boundless life essence is lingering above the sea of ​​​​boundary.

Every second, endless life energy converges towards Zhou Cheng, as if stars are taken into his mouth and nose with his breathing, and quickly recover their state.

"It will win."

Zhou Cheng looked towards the center of the dazzling imperial glory, but he...actually couldn't see it either.

In terms of the understanding of the Great Dao, Zhou Cheng is far inferior to those Emperor Glory Immortal Kings and supreme giants. Even if they were still alive, they would not be qualified to see this battle clearly.

The gap between the limits of a quasi-immortal emperor and an immortal king is greater than the gap between dust and the universe.

Just like Zhou Cheng who borrowed the power of the Three Heavenly Emperors at that time, even a glance from him could burn an ancient immortal king to death, without even making a move.

Boom!

The sea of ​​​​realms and the heavens shook again and again, and countless creatures felt the turbulent breath of the Great Dao and were terrified.

As time passed, this war lasted for three full years.

Finally, the two ancient dark artifacts retreated. They knew that they could not do anything to the newly born emperor, and they had been severely damaged. In order to recover, they did not know how many lives would have to fall into darkness and sacrifice them.

If we continue to fight to the death, the only outcome will be suppression.

The war is over!

The turbulent sea and heavens calmed down.

The figure of the Lord of Heaven appeared in the dam world, his eyes fell on the collapsed site of the Heaven.

"His Majesty……"

"God!"

"My lord..."

One after another, the despairing figures seemed to have found their backbone, and they came forward to pay homage to the emperor.

The newly born quasi-immortal emperor put an end to this turmoil.

But... Heaven is gone.

"what!!!"

The roar of the emperor echoed through the ages, and many people had a look of realization on their faces. The long, sad howl that they had heard, which echoed for a long time above the sea of ​​​​boundaries and had no source, actually came from this era.

The fragments of the Great Dao, wrapped in the turbulence of time and space, brushed across this ancient and boundless world, leaving only a handful of universes still hanging in the void, already tottering.

The number of living beings in the entire world is no longer even one-tenth of what it was before the turmoil. All kinds of blood mist, blood rain, weeping sky, and shaking Tao are lingering between heaven and earth.

Blood is flowing, pestles are floating, and there is suffering everywhere, that's all.

"Emperor of Heaven... accept my condolences."

Zhou Cheng walked up, as if he was stepping on an infinite river in the sky, bathing in endless essence, and his whole body recovered to his peak state.

This battle was certainly won.

However, almost all of the old friends, relatives, and descendants of this Emperor of Heaven have died.

The prince of heaven was a very young and heroic man. He could reach the pinnacle of Taoism at the age of 500 and be immortal at the age of 100,000, but he still fell.

The Emperor of Heaven broke through the realm of the king and ended the chaos... but in the end, he was left with nothing and was left alone.

"Fellow Daoist, this is my Dharma, this is my path. Help me carry it into the future, so that I won't be buried in the long river of time."

This domineering emperor had a majestic figure, but at this moment he gave Zhou Cheng a feeling of being very old.

A palm-sized bone book emerged from the palm of the emperor, densely engraved with countless words smaller than an ant.

"The Emperor of Heaven has just broken through the realm of kings, and the myriad worlds of heaven and earth are facing a catastrophe. It is better not to rush on the journey."

Zhou Cheng could naturally see that the emperor was determined to die, so he tried to persuade him anyway.

The Emperor of Heaven nodded slightly and looked into the distance. At the end of his sight was the other side of the Sea of ​​Boundary, shrouded in the top of the sky, an ancient land that would never fall.

"I won't act rashly. It is necessary to rest and recuperate."

The Emperor of Heaven spoke, and then added: "Daoyou, prepare to leave as well. There are eyes looking at me. I can still block them now, but if the war starts, I will not be able to protect you."

At this time, the Emperor of Heaven had already seen through Zhou Cheng's realm.

An immortal king who has just attained enlightenment, masters the principles of yin and yang, holds the two poles of life and death, and is unrivaled in his generation.

As for why he was able to travel through time, possess the peak strength of a giant, and even attract supreme fire, the Heavenly Emperor did not ask. Everyone has his own opportunities and secrets, and it is enough as long as they are people of the same path.

"Okay, I'll leave."

Zhou Cheng agreed, but was not in a hurry to leave.

The Emperor of Heaven sat in the dam world, standing on the old site of the Heavenly Palace, and became a barrier for all the heavens and worlds. Zhou Cheng led the supreme beings one by one to sort out the heavens, gather the remnants of the world, and repair the traumatized land.

The towering world trees blend with the great realms, engraving the marks of the heart of heaven and bringing new vitality to the universes.

For Zhou Cheng, this is also a kind of practice and sedimentation.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, I didn't know how many tens of thousands of years had passed. The heavens and all the worlds seemed to have regained new vitality.

The Emperor of Heaven, who was sitting on the dam, also recovered from his injuries. His spirit and energy returned to the peak, and his majestic body stood there for eternity. Boundless energy and blood swept across the dam, and billions of imperial lights illuminated the world.

"Daoyou, I'm leaving now."

The Emperor of Heaven spoke, communicating with Zhou Cheng. At the same time, this voice also echoed in the ears of the Immortal Kings.

Zhou Cheng nodded slightly, intending to watch the emperor leave for the last time.

At this time, the Immortal Kings looked at the Emperor of Heaven with some concern.

"His Majesty……"

The Emperor of Heaven simply waved his hand and said, "After I leave, the heavens and myriad worlds will also need new shelter."

"Ancient history repeats itself, great worlds change, and over long periods of time, the past and the present disappear. This is the truth. If this is the case, let those fallen great worlds burn their last light for the heavens."

As he spoke, the emperor raised his hand, and the broken worlds roared and shook. Endless lightning revived and was absorbed by the emperor before falling into the sea of ​​​​worlds and becoming a wave.

The magnificent ruins were shrunk into pebbles by the supreme power, remaining on the embankment to form a path.

The remaining origin of these remnant worlds evolved into the power of thunder and heavenly punishment, forming pools of thunder that gathered here and turned into an unparalleled sea of ​​thunder.

An ancient formation has been set up. In the years to come, if a great world is destroyed, the origin of its heaven and earth will be drawn in and transformed into a pool of thunder to protect the heavens.

Similarly, in this vast and powerful sea of ​​thunder, the destructive light roars, but it also breeds new life.

Perhaps after endless years, an astonishing creature will be born in this sea of ​​thunder. From the day it is born, this creature is the embodiment of the law of thunder and lightning, the darling of the heavens, destined to become king and compete with dragons and phoenixes.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Cheng suddenly realized.

"I see. It turns out that this world of thunder formed by the convergence of countless thunder pools was born in this way."

The dam world at this time has become what Zhou Cheng saw in the memories of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

But in the end, this thunder abyss did not protect the heavens and all the worlds as the emperor had planned.

After completing all this, the emperor set off and turned to walk towards the depths of the sea.

The immortal kings and immortals from all the heavens and worlds came and watched the co-lord of heaven walk towards the ultimate ancient land.

As the emperor walked by, a line of glowing footprints was left on the ancient embankment. The flickering footprints extended into the depths of the sea.

Zhou Cheng's figure also became illusory, and the surging years enveloped him.

The other Immortal Kings also saw this scene, and they bowed and saluted Zhou Cheng one by one.

During these years, Zhou Cheng controlled the World Tree and repaired the worlds one after another. He had merits in all the heavens and worlds, and was regarded as the first person under the emperor. He was praised by all living beings, sitting in the heavenly court as a distinguished guest, reshaping the world and showing his power. The long river of time surrounded him, and he once guarded the embankment to control the world.

"Goodbye, gentlemen."

Zhou Cheng's voice eventually became completely blurred, leaving only a goodbye before slowly disappearing into the world.

……

In the newly born primitive ancient world, Zhou Cheng's figure blurred for a moment, and then solidified again.

The ancient river of time roared before him, reshaping the final battle before his eyes.

The Emperor of Heaven fought in the dark land for ten thousand years, fighting alone against the three dark immortal emperors, but eventually fell and was defeated.

Another dark turmoil broke out, and the thundering Abyss of Order was reviving, wanting to protect the heavens, but it was suppressed by an ancient artifact of origin and shattered into pieces.

Countless dark legions charged into the heavens and all worlds, and one fallen king after another destroyed all living things. In an instant, billions of lives turned into essence and were devoured by them.

The great worlds that Zhou Cheng had restored with his own hands were destroyed one after another, and finally... all the worlds were reduced to ruins, and the darkness faded away.

"They were all... killed."

Zhou Cheng looked at this scene with some complicated feelings. All the worlds were shattered, all living beings were almost extinct, cultivators no longer existed, all were completely dead, and only the mortal creatures were still struggling to survive.

The endless world collapsed and turned into a chaotic energy that was so dense that it could not be dissolved, surging in the ruins of all worlds.

As time goes by, eternity changes, billions of years pass in the blink of an eye, new universes are opened up, countless fragments of time and space in the endless chaos collide and explode, turning into cosmic bubbles that expand rapidly.

The chaotic energy lingering in the boundless void was swallowed up, the new universe flourished, the remaining seeds of life began to sprout, and the powerful life nurtured by the creation of the world was breaking out of its shell.

This is a great era, an era born from ruins. It will surely be an era of endless glory after being destroyed and rebuilt.

Boom!

Suddenly, a stream of light burst out from the other side of the sea, shining brightly with nine colors of divine light.

It’s an ancient artifact of origin!
"Could it be that the ancient artifact of origin is going to destroy the world again?"

Zhou Cheng couldn't help but make a guess, but things were not as Zhou Cheng imagined.

That wooden box crossed the sea and arrived at the most prosperous area in the heavens and all worlds.

This place used to be a gathering place for many great worlds. After its collapse and rebirth, it naturally gave birth to the most top-level world.

The next moment, the nine-colored wooden box took root in a large world, and the rich dark origin substance spread out, covering the entire world.

Countless seeds of life fell into darkness and turned into beings with even less wisdom, and began to evolve and develop over time.

“Foreign land, so this is how it came about.”

Zhou Cheng saw an ancient world adjacent to a foreign land. It was still in the era when the heaven and earth had just been created. The aura of chaos was lingering in the human world, and the seed of a chaotic blue lotus had already bloomed.

The innate creature, the Chaos Green Lotus... is also the predecessor of the Chaos Immortal King who has just been resurrected.

Zhou Cheng raised his hand and tapped lightly.

The illusory river of time surged countless times in an instant. Endless years passed, and the glorious era of the emperor's fall began.

The favorable environment when the world was first created gave birth to countless geniuses, which eventually developed into a glorious era. Geniuses were like grass and the world was like sand.

Powerful immortal kings were born. They communicated with each other, moved around the worlds, and established a majestic immortal realm that was praised by all the heavens and worlds.

Amid the remnants of the old era, new laws began to take shape.

This era is so glorious that many immortal kings are born in one era, and even supreme giants appear.

You must know that whether it is the thirteen supreme beings in the era of the Heavenly Emperor, or the butchers, chicken farmers, fake medicine sellers, etc. who are now roaming the sea of ​​​​boundaries, they did not achieve enlightenment in the same era, let alone touch the edge of becoming an emperor in one era.

Gradually, the fairyland reached its peak, and the beginnings of dark turmoil appeared.

The Immortal Kings discovered that the methods they learned from the relics of the old times were actually restrained by the dark creatures, who were always able to seize the weaknesses of this system and strike hard.

The most powerful Immortal Kings began to gather together. They discussed with each other, and each of them perfected a realm... and finally the Immortal Realm Law was born.

The peak of the Emperor's Fall Era has arrived. The new method is suitable for this era. The innate creatures nurtured by heaven and earth, who are originally figures in the immortal realm, quickly break through to the king realm.

The heavens are at their peak, and the kings gather... A new heaven is born again, and a new tragedy and reincarnation begin.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Cheng slowly closed his eyes, gently raised his hand, and the shadow of the long river of time disappeared.

"It's boring. I won't read it anymore. I will digest the essence of this journey through time and perfect my initial true understanding."
