The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 536 The Threat of the Supreme

"Heavenly Emperor's Faith Body, I know you are watching this place, why not show yourself?" Facing the three people's surprised gazes, the Golden Ancient Emperor ignored them and shouted into the void.

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor's Faith Body in the Boundless Holy Court pondered for a moment before deciding to set off.

Since we're going to go there anyway, going now can prevent the many supreme beings from suddenly scattering and causing dark turmoil in various parts of the universe.

In an instant, countless dazzling paths of immortal light, piercing through the universe, shot out from the Boundless Star Domain, reaching the edge of the universe and transforming into figures that landed opposite the twenty-four supreme beings. Standing at the forefront was the Heavenly Emperor's Faith Avatar.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist! I have never instigated the Dark Turmoil. My daughter has joined the Boundless Holy Court. I wonder if you could lend me some of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's blood to prolong her life and seal her away? I wonder if you could allow me to accompany you to the strange world? I am willing to pay any price." The Golden Ancient Emperor asked with a hint of expectation.

"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?" the Heavenly Emperor's avatar asked in return.

"Why?" Upon hearing this, the Golden Ancient Emperor gripped his golden mace tightly and asked with great resentment.

He already knew the answer in his heart: the Heavenly Emperor's Faith Body would not agree to use his Chaos Heavenly Emperor's blood to prolong its life and seal itself, nor would it allow him to accompany him to the strange world.

Previously, a rift appeared on the Beidou Immortal Ascension Path. He and many other supreme beings extended their divine senses to investigate and gathered together. After some debate, they reached a consensus to emerge and attack the Beidou Immortal Ascension Path.

However, he was not optimistic about the path to immortality through the Big Dipper and preferred to enter the strange world through the Boundless Holy Court.

So he persuaded five of the more than twenty Supreme Beings who had not instigated the Dark Turmoil to send a wisp of their divine thoughts to the Boundless Holy Court, and to have them join the children of the Boundless Holy Court to introduce them to the Heavenly Emperor's faith body.

They wished to request the Heavenly Emperor's faith in them, and to grant them permission to accompany him on his journey to strange worlds, or even to join the Boundless Holy Court.

As for the claim that their children have not yet achieved enlightenment through alternative paths and are therefore unable to see the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation, making it difficult to introduce them to him?

This is not a problem. He is certain that after the rift appeared in the Big Dipper Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Emperor's Faith Body must have awakened and would definitely pay attention to the mortal world.

Their children will spread the news of their visit, and the people of the Boundless Holy Court will certainly not neglect it and will definitely pass the news to the Heavenly Emperor's faith body.

Moreover, they sent a wisp of their divine sense to wait outside the Boundless Star Domain, without concealing their aura, which the Heavenly Emperor's Faith Body could definitely sense.

He felt that the Heavenly Emperor's faith would surely be able to guess their intentions.

With their children's introduction, and given that they have never instigated any dark upheavals, the Heavenly Emperor's faith body will most likely receive them and will most likely allow them to accompany him to the strange world in the future.

But the result was beyond his expectations. The Heavenly Emperor's followers sent word to their children that they did not intend to see them.

In an instant, both their children and the rest of them understood the choice of the Heavenly Emperor's faith body: it would not accept them, much less allow them to accompany it to the strange world.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have avoided even meeting each other.

This left the Golden Ancient Emperor utterly bewildered and furious.

He had his daughter join the Boundless Holy Court and even planned for her to serve the Heavenly Emperor, assuming that the Heavenly Emperor's faith would likely accept them. He never expected this outcome. Although furious and resentful, he was powerless to do anything. He neither dared nor could he forcefully attack the Boundless Holy Court to find out the truth. He could only abandon this backup plan and place his hopes on the Path to Immortality and the Strange World.

It was at that time that he and Qilin retrieved the imperial weapon, thus increasing their strength and adding a glimmer of hope for their attack on the path to immortality and the strange world.

But now, he has little hope left, whether on the path to immortality or in the strange world. Upon seeing the Heavenly Emperor's avatar, he could no longer help but question him.

"You have never launched a Dark Turmoil, but when your lives are hanging by a thread and you need to launch a Dark Turmoil to survive, will you launch one?" The Heavenly Emperor's Faith Avatar's gaze was sharp, as if it could see through the Golden Ancient Emperor's heart.

"I..." The Golden Ancient Emperor paused upon hearing this. He wanted to say that he couldn't, but he knew very well that he could, and he couldn't hide it from the Heavenly Emperor's faith body.

“You have already severed yourselves, and cracks have appeared on your Sendai. Even if you can enter the strange world, your lifespan will be lost far more quickly than that of other experts at the same level.”

Unless the cracks in the Sendai are repaired, a lifespan of millions of years will be reduced to hundreds of thousands. Would you repair the Sendai at all costs? Would you devour massive amounts of life essence and blood from countless living beings if there were no other options?

"What if some of us don't know how?" the Golden Emperor still asked, unwilling to give up.

"So what if you can't? You've already severed yourselves, greatly reducing your future growth potential. Moreover, you've already given up everything for immortality. How much emotion do you have left? The Boundless Holy Court doesn't trust you."

Furthermore, the strange world does not have the restriction of one emperor per generation. Those who achieve enlightenment through unconventional means can all attain enlightenment after entering the strange world. The Boundless Holy Court does not lack cultivators of your level; you are not important to the Boundless Holy Court.

"Haha..." Upon hearing this, the Golden Ancient Emperor laughed bitterly.

He already knew why the Boundless Holy Court was unwilling to accept them, but did it matter?
It doesn't matter. What matters is that he knows the Heavenly Emperor's faith body will not accept him. It's basically impossible for him to enter the strange world, become an immortal, or achieve immortality.

"Enough. We don't have much time left, and we don't want to waste any more words. Heavenly Emperor Faith Body, we want to trade with you some Chaos Heavenly Emperor Blood to extend our lifespan and seal ourselves until the next Immortal Ascension Path opens. Are you willing to trade?"

"Do you think that's possible?" the Heavenly Emperor's avatar sneered.

"Of course it's possible! If you're unwilling to trade with us, we'll join forces to attack the Ancient Star Road and then the Boundless Holy Court."

"Even if you join forces with the Wuji Emperor Sword, the six other Dao-attaining individuals, and the dozen or so who are about to attain Dao, you absolutely cannot defeat us in a short time."

"If war breaks out, we will spare no effort to shatter this universe, destroy this world, and drag you down with us." Nearly twenty supreme beings stepped forward and said with great determination.

However, he then softened his tone, saying, "If you agree, once we have completed our attack on the Immortal Path, whether we succeed or not, we will no longer be able to pose a threat to you."

While threatening the Heavenly Emperor's faith, many Supreme Beings also communicated with the Qilin Ancient Emperor and others through divine thoughts, wanting them to join them in threatening the Boundless Holy Court.

If they agree, their side will be even stronger, and the Heavenly Emperor's faith will be more likely to agree due to their concerns.

Even if the Heavenly Emperor's faith body doesn't agree, the greater the chance that they can join forces to withstand the attacks from the Heavenly Emperor's faith body and the powerful figures of the Boundless Holy Court, and devour enough life essence, the more likely they are to escape separately.
