From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

The two people were a man and a woman.

The man, clad in a magnificent robe, possessed a fierce and masculine aura. His magical power rippled across the heavens and earth, spreading throughout the ten directions of the void, shining brightly and unobstructed. He was none other than the Shang Emperor, residing in the Great Sun Void.

He came not only alone, but also carrying a palace in his palm, shrouded in mist and clouds, and towering mountains. It was the peerless magic treasure, the Sun God Palace, within which golden crows would occasionally flap their wings and soar up and down.

The woman was dressed in a palace gown and a light skirt. Her aura was cold and indifferent. Although her magical power was not particularly strong, it was as gentle as the clear moonlight, nourishing things silently. Its influence was even greater than that of the Shang Emperor. She was the Yin Emperor, who was the rival of the Shang Emperor and resided in the Taiyin Void.

The Yin Emperor also possessed a Guanghan Divine Palace, where he kept a host of phoenixes, so that the Shang Emperor would not be the only one to enjoy the limelight.

These two individuals have extremely profound experience, dating back to the medieval era. Even figures like the philosophers of the medieval period suffered losses at their hands, and their methods and magical powers are top-notch.

However, they are both powerful figures who have survived nine tribulations of lightning. They are focused on cultivation and rarely concern themselves with worldly affairs. With the Sun and Moon Void as their base, they have no need to show themselves in the Great Thousand World. Therefore, few people know of the existence of these two peak experts.

Of course, Meng Shenji, who inherited the classics of the Supreme Dao, was not among them. This time, in order to invite the two of them to deal with Xu Wuyi and Xu Xing, he took the initiative to provide the address of the Ancient Nine Abyss Divine Realm.

In addition, the Shang Emperor and the Yin Emperor also showed great fear and curiosity towards these two suddenly emerging powerful figures.

If it weren't for Meng Shenji's report, they would never have imagined that two powerful experts capable of threatening them could emerge right under their noses.

Even Meng Shenji, who has already survived eight tribulations and is in charge of the Eternal Kingdom, is considered a significant threat to them.

Although neither of them took the final step, the fact that they both used the title "Emperor" was enough to show their ambition. Naturally, they couldn't tolerate so many powerful figures comparable to the Ninth Tribulation beside their own beds.

Moreover, they also learned from Meng Shenji that Xu Wuyi was a human immortal at the "flesh and blood derivative" realm.

The other one is a practitioner of both martial arts and Taoist arts. He has not only survived eight tribulations of lightning, but his martial arts skills have also reached the threshold of "flesh and blood evolution".

Those who have undergone nine tribulations are manageable, given the experience of the Shang and Yin emperors; they have seen such beings before. But the realm of "flesh and blood evolution" is truly a legendary existence.

Even the ancient war gods, or even the world-renowned number one demon of all time, probably haven't cultivated martial arts to such a level. Such figures are extremely rare throughout history.

Only the outer star river that has preserved the Panhuang legacy, after tens of thousands of years of accumulation, could possibly cultivate such a powerful figure.

This is precisely why they showed great interest in this kind of slow movement and emptiness. The simplest way for a Ninth Tribulation expert to improve is to refine an external avatar.

If they could seize this opportunity to refine this immortal into a puppet, their magical power would advance to an unprecedented level, making it possible to even search for the origin of the immortal!

Moreover, they always considered the Great Thousand World as their own and were wary of the Outer Heavens. If given the opportunity to strike the enemy forces first, the two of them would not let it go.

When the Shang Emperor arrived at this place, his eyes narrowed as he sensed the constantly surging and changing fist intent. A rare solemnity appeared on his face as he frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"How can this person's fighting style be so strange?"

The Yin Emperor then spoke:

"The fist intent is so varied that if there is no mistake in the training, it is close to the legendary realm of ever-changing techniques, or more likely it is both."

Xu Xing had previously shattered the instantaneous labyrinth, but only for a moment before withdrawing. Furthermore, as a primordial deity, he possessed the ability to control primordial energy, thus leaving no trace whatsoever.

What the two of them captured was the intent of the fist of nothingness.

The Emperor nodded, his tone radiating boundless confidence:

"In that case, there's nothing to worry about. As long as it doesn't change unpredictably, with our abilities, we can easily capture it even if we face it head-on. Let's go."

As he spoke, this powerful figure, who resided in the Great Sun and had lived from the Middle Ages to the present day, whose seniority even surpassed that of the Dark Emperor Daoist, had already used his great magical power to tear open the Momentary Maze and strode in with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger.

Although the Yin Emperor was not as flamboyant and unrestrained as the Shang Emperor, he nodded, held the Moon Palace in his hand, and left.

Although a powerful being at the "Flesh and Blood Derivation" level has an advantage in both offense and defense when facing a Ghost Immortal who has undergone nine tribulations, it is not a decisive difference.

Moreover, both of them were at the peak of the ninth tribulation, their physical bodies had reached the peak of the human immortal realm, and they also had magic treasures that had been refined for thousands of years.

All these factors combined mean that as long as they are not facing a "thousand-fold changeable" immortal, they can defeat them. Even if the opponent makes a breakthrough, they are not incapable of putting up a fight.

Meng Shenji followed behind the two, and seeing that they had both gone inside without any intention of communicating with him, he remained unmoved.

He knew perfectly well that rather than being partners who each got what they wanted, they were more like three ferocious beasts wary of each other. With the Nine Abyss Divine Realm before them, it was not impossible for them to turn on each other at any time.

For this reason, Meng Shenji did not rush in. Instead, he turned around and left, going to another place in the void turbulence, preparing to return to the Great Thousand World.

This was his real plan: to use the duel between Xu Xing and Xu Wuyi to lure the Shang Emperor and the Yin Emperor into the Nine Abyss Divine Realm, leaving them no time to worry about him, and then take the opportunity to overcome the nine tribulations of lightning.

Meng Shenji knew that the flow of time in the Nine Abyss Divine Realm was different from that in the Great Thousand World. The deeper one went, the slower time passed. Moreover, with the magical power of the Shang Emperor and the Yin Emperor, once they entered, they would inevitably go straight to the ninth level.

Therefore, even if he waits until after he has transcended his tribulation to return and enter the Nine Abyss Divine Realm, it will still be perfectly timely.

Although Meng Shenji's original foundation was insufficient, after fighting Xu Xing and remotely sensing the other party's tribulation process, his understanding of the three primordial spirits, Tai Chu, Tai Shi, and Tai Shang, reached a new level, giving him the confidence to overcome the nine tribulations.

He couldn't help but sigh that this Heavenly Demon's arrogance was truly rare in the world. At least Meng Shenji had never seen anyone undergo tribulation in such a flamboyant manner, without even concealing their aura.

This action is practically like deliberately exposing all one's knowledge, allowing all discerning people in the world to see it clearly.

After Meng Shenji left, the void stirred again. A large ship cut through the turbulent currents and sped towards them, cutting through thorns and waves, seemingly invincible.

At the bow of the ship, Yang Pan, who had transformed into the future master, stood side by side with Hong Xuanji.

After endlessly absorbing the power of faith, the future Lord's power has now expanded to an almost terrifying level. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Pan successfully passed through eight tribulations of lightning and truly condensed his primordial spirit.

Now that his primordial spirit and dharma body have merged, Yang Pan's strength is unprecedented, reaching a state of true perfection.

Although the most fundamental "Nine Heavens, Nine Earths, Nine Extremes Formation" is not yet on the Ship of Creation, the power contained in its core is still superior to that of ordinary Nine Tribulations Ghost Immortals.

Having survived eight tribulations, Yang Pan was able to unleash this power perfectly, enough to deal with one or two Ninth Tribulation Ghost Immortals. This gave him the ambition to face all obstacles and completely wipe out the Great Thousand World.

In addition, Hong Xuanji also entered the realm of "flesh and blood derivation". Although he did not have the Imperial Dragon Armor, he had integrated the bloodline of the Immortal God King. Furthermore, with the help of this unique tempering, he raised his fist intent to a higher level, making his combat power far superior to that of the Nine Tribulations Ghost Immortal.

In Yang Pan's mind, the two of them, ruler and minister, were truly invincible when they joined forces!

“Emperor Yin, if you are willing to cultivate with me, we will surely be invincible in the world. Even when facing that old monkey ‘Kong’, we need not have any fear.”

After entering the Nine Abyss Divine Realm, the Shang Emperor went straight to the sixth level. During this process, he also communicated with the Yin Emperor.

Although the two are rivals, their cultivation methods are naturally compatible. If their primordial spirits merge and they engage in dual cultivation, their cultivation will improve significantly, and they will take another step closer to the Yang God realm.

However, if it is not truly willing and forced to cultivate together, then one of them will inevitably be the master and the other the assistant. Both of them are self-centered and neither is willing to back down, so they have been deadlocked until today.

The Shang emperor continued speaking without stopping:
“That brat from the Supreme Dao has ulterior motives. You and I can still handle two Immortals at the ‘Flesh and Blood Derivation’ level, but if Kong Dang is really not dead, dual cultivation will be inevitable, it’s just a matter of time.”

At this moment, the Shang Emperor had completely lost the domineering and arrogant demeanor he had displayed earlier. His gaze was now clear and discerning, as if he had everything under control.

As the Lord of the Great Sun, the Shang Emperor, who had lived for nearly ten thousand years, did not know the location of the Nine Abyss Divine Realm, but he did know some of its mysteries. Therefore, he guessed that Kong might not have died at all, but was just sleeping here, waiting for an opportunity to shatter the vacuum.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Yin spoke:

"The reason you agreed to his request wasn't for the magical treasures in the Nine Abyss Divine Realm, but to use the situation to force me to submit?"

The Shang Emperor smiled:
"The word 'force' sounds awful, but it's just going with the flow. The reason you were willing to come out was because you seized this opportunity."
"However, if Kong doesn't recover, we don't need to go that far..."

Before they finished speaking, the two had already traversed the sixth level of the Plain of Despair. Their magical power shook the void, causing another earthquake. The three Dao Ancestors felt the impact and immediately awakened from their Dao Realms, joining forces to activate the Ancestral God Mountain.

However, the magical power of two peak Ninth Tribulation experts was not so easy to withstand. With just one collision, more than half of the ghost immortals in Ancestral God Mountain who were responsible for maintaining the magic array were killed or injured and immediately turned into dust.

Emperor Shang didn't even spare a glance, his eyes fixed on Ancestral God Mountain and the three Dao Ancestors within it, a hint of surprise in his gaze. He then spoke:

"In the Nine Abyss Divine Realm, to have cultivated to such a level, you can be considered extraordinary. You shall enter my Sun God Palace and serve me. After you leave, you will be indispensable in all the necessities of the palace."

At first glance, the Shang Emperor knew that these three people had profound foundations and that if they were to leave, they would certainly have the potential to survive seven tribulations and become creators.

Even a Yang God would have to take a creator-level powerhouse seriously. His Sun God Palace had developed for thousands of years, but it only had three True Kings. These three would be perfect to supplement his forces.

Moreover, these three individuals possess a mysterious Daoist aura that seems not to belong to them personally, but rather to those who have comprehended some unparalleled Daoist technique, likely a legacy from some powerful figure from ancient times.

Thinking of this, the Shang Emperor's gaze grew even more eager. He had no intention of discussing it with the three Dao Ancestors. After speaking, he waved his hand, intending to take the three of them out of the Ancestral God Mountain and bring them into the Sun God Palace.

But right there, Emperor Yin suddenly intervened, seizing the opportunity to suppress Ancestral God Mountain in one fell swoop, and calmly said:
"Since you want the person, Brother Dao, I will gladly accept these worldly possessions."

The Shang Emperor's gaze sharpened.

He had long recognized that although the three people's magical power was only on the verge of the seventh tribulation, their magic weapon was extremely extraordinary. It must have been made using ancient methods and was no less powerful than the Sun God Palace in his possession.

Although the three Dao Ancestors could become Creators, that was after they left the Nine Abyss Divine Realm. As for how much of a role they could play after surviving seven tribulations, that's uncertain.

However, magical artifacts provide immediate combat power, and once acquired, they will undoubtedly be helpful in the upcoming battle.

Thinking of this, the Shang Emperor did not contend with the Yin Emperor and acquiesced to the place. He simply led the way into the Cambrian Abyss. Although this place was dangerous, it could not stop the two emperors. With another step, they arrived at the Ancient Abyss.

At this point, the secret realm of immortality is almost within reach.

Even with their knowledge and cultivation, the two couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

But right there, the Shang Emperor suddenly frowned, a sense of extreme foreboding welling up in his heart. He even stopped talking, focused his gaze ahead, gathered his magical power, and stepped inside first.

As soon as he entered the Longevity Secret Realm, Emperor Shang felt an aura carrying the meaning of solidification, slowing down, and even complete suppression, surging towards him from all directions.

Even with a divine soul at the peak of nine tribulations, it felt unable to function within it. In the eyes of the Shang Emperor, the world immediately slowed down by billions of times.

He had known for a long time that the Realm of Immortality would be like this, so he was not flustered. He shuddered and was about to open the Sun God Palace to shield himself from the influence and carefully explore this legendary realm.

Just then, the Shang Emperor saw a colossal black shadow tens of thousands of miles away, carrying an irresistible and powerful force, pushing aside layers of longevity energy, and flying towards him!

Because of the influence of the Longevity Qi, time flowed extremely slowly here, which allowed him to clearly see the appearance of the dark figure and every movement it made.

That was clearly a giant ape with bristling fur, bulging muscles, and an immense power emanating from its body, as if it wanted to shatter the heavens and the universe and achieve its own existence!
But precisely because he could see it so clearly, the Shang Emperor was now filled with immense fear, his divine sense fluctuated violently, and he roared:
"It's Kong! He's broken through to the realm of shattering the vacuum!"

Emperor Shang had never seen a powerful being who could shatter the vacuum, yet he could sense that terrifying power and subconsciously believed that the other party had broken through the shackles and successfully shattered the vacuum.

The Yin Emperor shared the same feeling. Under this life-threatening crisis, the two mortal enemies became highly unified in mind and spirit. Without any effort, they naturally became inseparable.

The two forces of ultimate yang and ultimate yin truly merged into one at this moment, unleashing a power five or six times greater than before, and colliding head-on with "emptiness's" body.

boom!
Another explosion rang out, and the physical bodies of the two, who had reached the peak of the human immortal realm, were instantly reduced to dust and devoured by the true energy of longevity. Only their inseparable primordial spirits, along with their magical treasures, were sent flying thousands of miles away.

Before the two could react, they heard a divine thought from afar, carrying a sense of regret, pity, and even disappointment.

"The so-called greatest demon of all time is only this powerful?"

Upon sensing this divine thought, both the Shang Emperor and the Yin Emperor felt a chill in their hearts, realizing an incredibly terrifying truth.

—The ferocious giant ape was actually blasted back by a single punch before colliding with the two of them!

To be able to subdue a colossal demon at the Void Shattering Realm, what realm is this person at? Could it be an ancient giant who has attained both Yang God and Void Shattering Realm certifications and reached the pinnacle of cultivation?!

"Oh?"

In the distance, Xu Wuyi slowly withdrew his hand, his gaze falling back on the Shang Emperor and the Yin Emperor. He raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly:

"I never expected that there would be guests."

Xu Xing smiled as well:

"As sparring partners, you two are barely qualified." (End of Chapter)
