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

Chapter 822 Accident
In order to avoid being killed and sacrificed by the strange dark race, the Quasi-Immortal Emperors and Immortal Emperors above the heavens will unite again to resist. They will leave some Quasi-Immortal Emperors and Immortal Emperors behind to cover the retreat, so that the remaining Quasi-Immortal Emperors and Immortal Emperors can take some True Immortals and Immortal Kings to escape and hide.

Only after the eerie dark race retreats and returns to develop peacefully, once it has recovered some strength, will it be attacked again on a small scale by the eerie dark race. When it develops to a certain extent, it will be harvested and sacrificed by the eerie dark race, and that will be another cycle.

However, as expected, an unexpected incident occurred in the end.

Millions of years ago, a new Immortal Emperor appeared in the heavens. His appearance was very sudden, without any trace or sign. No one had ever heard of his name before. When he appeared in the world, he was already an Immortal Emperor at the end of the road.

That was the Desolate Heavenly Emperor!

When the Desolate Emperor first entered the realm of the Celestial Emperors, he did not go very far in the realm of the Immortal Emperors. Although he was not a beginner Immortal Emperor, he was still far from reaching the middle stage of the Immortal Emperor realm.

This is not surprising!

The Desolate Emperor expanded his Great Dao, perfecting it to the level of an Immortal Emperor. He also created his own invincible technique. After breaking through to the half-step Immortal Emperor level, he had no time to comprehend the Dao and cultivate his physical body and primordial spirit to the level of an Immortal Emperor. When he finally broke through to the Immortal Emperor level, he was annihilated by the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

Although he used his Great Transformation Technique when he was destroyed by the Corpse Immortal Emperor, spreading his essence and blood to many spaces and times, he cultivated and underwent tribulations in the river of time, successfully cultivating his physical body and primordial spirit to the level of Immortal Emperor and breaking through to become an Immortal Emperor.

However, during this process, he was unaware that although his instincts were cultivating and perfecting his Great Dao and Invincible Technique, it was not enough for him to reach the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm.

Subsequently, he killed the Corpse Immortal Emperor, spent over ten thousand years refining the Corpse Immortal Emperor, and erased the dark matter of the myriad worlds before leaving the myriad worlds and heading to the heavens. He didn't have much time to cultivate, so naturally he couldn't break through to the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm.

However, although he was only at the early stage of Immortal Emperor at that time, his combat power was not limited to the early stage of Immortal Emperor. Most of the mid-stage Immortal Emperors were no match for him.

The Desolate Emperor set foot on the heavens for two reasons: first, to search for the source of darkness, and second, to find a way to resurrect his deceased relatives and friends.

Therefore, not long after the Desolate Emperor entered the Upper Heaven, he followed the dark aura and fought his way to the Ancient Underworld, which led to the appearance of the strange Dark Immortal Emperor and the six Immortal Emperors of the Upper Heaven.

After a period of stalemate, neither side actually went to war and both withdrew.

After everyone left, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor received an invitation from the six Immortal Emperors above the heavens, and learned from them the secrets of the past and the current situation above the heavens.

Although the six Immortal Emperors above Heaven did not know the full origins of the Desolate Heaven Emperor, they had some guesses:

They either came from fragments scattered deep within spacetime after the shattering of the only continent above the heavens, or from the myriad realms beyond the heavens.

Moreover, it is more likely to originate from the myriad realms beyond the heavens.

Because the aura of the Heavenly Emperor, which belongs to the realm above the heavens, is still very weak.

Of course, once one cultivates to the level of an Immortal Emperor, it is not difficult to harmonize oneself with the world and imprint the aura of the world, nor is it difficult to weaken the aura of the world. Therefore, it can only be a guess and cannot be confirmed.

However, the six Celestial Emperors above the heavens were neither interested in nor concerned about the origins of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. What they cared about was that the Desolate Heavenly Emperor was not a dark being and seemed to have a grudge against the strange dark race, so he would most likely join forces with them to resist the strange dark race.

After informing the Desolate Emperor of the situation above the heavens and testing him to gain some understanding of his attitude, the six Immortal Emperors above the heavens became even more enthusiastic towards him and provided him with considerable assistance.

For example, he gave the Desolate Emperor a method to resurrect the dead, and he also gifted him the cultivation systems they had collected, as well as many scriptures and secret techniques.

Of course, the Immortal Emperor Scriptures and the invincible Immortal Emperor-level techniques they created are not included.

In return, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor bestowed upon the six Immortal Emperors above Heaven the secret realm techniques, the cultivation systems he had collected, the scriptures and secret arts, and even the Immortal Emperor Scriptures he had created. This further deepened the trust and connection between the two sides.

Having learned of the situation above the heavens and obtained the method to resurrect the dead, the Desolate Emperor was worried that the strange dark race would follow him to the myriad worlds, but he also wanted to resurrect his dead relatives and friends as soon as possible. So he found an opportunity to break free from the connection between the six immortal emperors above the heavens and the strange dark immortal emperor and returned to the myriad worlds.

After the Desolate Emperor returned to the myriad worlds, he resurrected his deceased relatives and friends, the heavenly soldiers and generals who died in the Heavenly Court, the nameless footprint emperor who left his footprints on the boundary sea dam, the Willow God, the Butcher, Pan King, and others.

He even originally intended to resurrect Cao Yusheng, the Black Emperor, the Immortal King Wuzhong, and others.

However, before taking action, he had a sudden inspiration and a feeling that it would be best to leave them in the human realm of the myriad worlds, where they might grow into his comrades.

Without hesitation, he followed his intuition and left Cao Yusheng and the others behind.

The spirits that were to be resurrected were reflected in the heavens. Because the situation above the heavens was not good, the Desolate Emperor did not stay in the myriad worlds for long. Instead, he led the Heavenly Court and all his relatives and friends away from the myriad worlds and entered the heavens.

Moreover, in order to protect his homeland and to ensure that his comrades, whom he foresaw could grow up smoothly in the future, he unleashed a powerful sword strike that severed the connection between the myriad worlds and the heavens above.

After the Desolate Emperor led everyone into the Upper Heaven, he re-established the Heavenly Court and obtained a considerable amount of territory from the six Immortal Emperors of the Upper Heaven. He diligently cultivated while developing the Heavenly Court.

In less than 200,000 years, he successfully broke through to the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm.

Moreover, this was after he returned to the myriad worlds and resurrected two quasi-immortal emperors and many true immortals and immortal kings, which caused him backlash and considerable losses.

Otherwise, with his talent and comprehension, and having acquired a large number of cultivation systems, scriptures, and secret techniques, he could learn from them and apply them to other situations, and he would definitely be able to break through to the mid-stage of Immortal Emperor within 100,000 years.

After Huangtian Emperor broke through to the mid-stage of Immortal Emperor, he no longer passively resisted the occasional small-scale invasions by the strange dark race, which dispatched quasi-immortal emperors and dark armies. Instead, he took the initiative to fight back and even personally took action.

However, the Desolate Emperor at this time was no longer the bratty child he once was. He was more rational, had sharper insight, and a better overall perspective.

He was well aware that even if he had broken through and advanced further in the Immortal Emperor realm, reaching the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm, he and the six Immortal Emperors above the heavens would still be no match for the ten strange and dark Immortal Emperors, unless his cultivation advanced one or two more steps, reaching the late-stage or even peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.
