I am the first emperor of the ancient times

Chapter 178 Comprehending the Immortal Emperor's Scripture!

The four Quasi-Immortal Emperors stood outside the Reception Hall, staring intently at Ying Hao, as if they could see Ying Hao about to be consumed by the Dark Origin.

They had already seen through everything about this place and did not believe that the person in front of them could succeed.

If success could be achieved so easily, why would they have gone to such great lengths? Over the long years, they should have already taken the next step.

In their view, the person in front of them would not only fail to succeed, but would also become just like them because of this action.

In contrast, Ying Hao ignored the later events of the four Quasi-Immortal Emperors and continued to carefully capture those runes.

He did not choose to refine it immediately, but silently observed, pondered, and carefully comprehended it.

Within the Great Dao runes lies the scripture of a Celestial Emperor, the supreme and invincible Dao of a Celestial Emperor, possessing immeasurable value.

Simply copying blindly is like trying to imitate a cat or a tiger; it will only lead you astray.

What he needs to do is not to study the path of the Corpse Immortal Emperor, but to use them as references to complement and verify his own path.

He believed that as long as he perfected his path little by little and continued to walk on it, he would surely reach the realm of the Immortal Emperor.

During this period, he encountered more than one Quasi-Immortal Emperor and fought against the Four Great Emperors for countless years, gaining a deep understanding of each other's Dao techniques.

This also greatly inspired him!
Today, he is constantly reflecting on his past, drawing on the strengths of others, quietly exploring his own path, and comprehending the great truth within himself.

On that day, he felt cold all over, as if something was watching him from the depths of the Ultimate Ancient Land.

In that darkness, it seemed as if a pair of empty eyes slowly opened and stared at him.

The next moment, a surge of divine thought came, telling him that if he went to guide living beings and brought forth vibrant life, he would be given a celestial emperor's scripture.

He knew that it was the Corpse Immortal Emperor causing trouble, so he ignored it and began to actively contact the source of darkness.

He carefully observed the Dao runes, and the dark origin surged forth, flowing into his body along with the Immortal Emperor's scriptures.

He was not surprised to feel the overwhelming darkness emanating from him.

The reason why the Old Man of Destruction and the other three emperors look like this is because they have been in contact with the power of darkness for a long time.

The Corpse Immortal Emperor has been corrupted by strange substances. To comprehend the Dao of the Corpse Immortal Emperor is equivalent to approaching strange substances, and naturally one will be corrupted by them.

Even so, he didn't care at all and continued to actively contact the source of darkness to comprehend the Immortal Emperor's scriptures within.

Seeing Ying Hao take the initiative to contact the source of darkness, a smile appeared on the face of the Four Emperors, the Old Man of Annihilation.

In their view, the reason why the person in front of them is like this is because the other party has not been able to resist temptation.

The allure of the Immortal Emperor's Scripture is simply too great; it represents the hope and the possibility of reaching the supreme realm. No one, no living being, can resist such temptation.

However, if you want to gain something, you have to make a sacrifice. By actively refining the dark source, you will inevitably be eroded by the dark source.

They did the same thing back then. In fact, in order to better obtain the Immortal Emperor's Scripture, they sacrificed countless living beings, using a massive amount of pure power to exchange for the possibility of their own advancement.

Given the people before me, becoming one of them is already a foregone conclusion.

But soon, the smiles on their faces vanished.

To their astonishment, they discovered that thick black smoke was emanating from the body of the person before them, clearly the dark source that had seeped in.

Ying Hao paid no attention to anything happening in the outside world, and he never stopped.

While comprehending the scriptures of the Immortal Emperor, he also reflected on the past and absorbed the strengths of various schools of thought.

Prior to this, he had experienced several major battles, during which he constantly pushed his own limits and gained immense benefits. He also traveled through the river of time, witnessing the Great Freedom Technique of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and encountering different cultivation systems, which greatly inspired him.

But all along, he has been missing the most crucial factor, not how much he has accumulated, but a higher level of understanding.

Until today, he came into contact with scriptures at the Immortal Emperor level, and all his accumulated knowledge exploded in an instant.

The Immortal Emperor's Scripture is more like a key to unlock the gates of the Immortal Emperor, giving him the possibility of finding the direction forward.

By drawing on the strengths of many schools of thought and quietly developing his own path, he gradually began to transform.

As time went by, Ying Hao spent countless years comprehending the Dao here, and his strength gradually increased.

"The road ahead lies here!"

Ying Hao muttered to himself that he had found the direction ahead and was about to develop his own system and research an invincible method.

In the years that followed, Ying Hao radiated light, and his aura of the Great Dao surged.

By drawing upon the scriptures of the Immortal Emperor and combining the strengths of various schools of thought, we can innovate and achieve a comprehensive understanding!
Within his body, one "door" after another was fully opened, and his potential was being continuously released.

In the end, he burst forth with a dazzling light, appearing mysterious and unpredictable from afar.

Within that light, one could vaguely see a figure, comprehending the Great Dao and demonstrating his invincible technique.

An aura of profound mystery permeated the air! This aura seemed to have surpassed the level of a quasi-immortal emperor.

The four Quasi-Immortal Emperors naturally saw clearly the changes in Ying Hao.

They didn't want to believe the changes in the person in front of them, but the change in aura was undeniable; they could even feel immense pressure emanating from that aura.

"How is this possible?" the Old Man of Destruction murmured.

They believed they had seen through everything about this place and knew the only way to comprehend the Immortal Emperor's scriptures.

But everything that happened to the person in front of them completely shattered their understanding.

The person before me could directly comprehend the Immortal Emperor's scriptures, and was even unaffected by the source of darkness.

How is this possible? How did he manage to do all this?!

It should be noted that in order to obtain the Immortal Emperor's Scripture, they would make a move every so often, sacrificing countless living beings.

The four emperors even felt they were hallucinating, for they knew the power of the source of darkness.

Because of the existence of the dark origin, they dared not continue refining for long, and he himself became completely darkened.

During this period, they did try other things as well.

They had attacked this place before, trying to break through completely, go inside, and obtain the fully imprinted Immortal Emperor runes, but they failed at all.

Ultimately, they could only choose to sleep and rest, silently cultivate, and wait for the next sacrifice.

But now, everything they knew has been shattered by the person in front of them.

This person can not only easily refine the Immortal Emperor's scriptures, but also remain unaffected by the dark origin.

If someone else had told them that such a thing existed, they would never have believed it, but now, the facts were right in front of them.
