I am the first emperor of the ancient times

Deep within the Soul River Abyss, Ying Hao sensed something and was constantly coming into contact with the stellar dust within.

His eyes were closed, and vaguely, the particles of celestial dust seemed to be changing.

The celestial bodies are interconnected, outlining the Dao traces that contain supreme energy.

The supreme Dao trace has surpassed the level of the Immortal Emperor and touched the origin; it is clearly a trace left by that supreme being.

Throughout countless ages, he had traversed the river of time, reaching the era of the Fallen Emperors, and had come into contact with the Immortal Emperor's scriptures of the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

He also ventured deep into the underworld to experience its wonders and understand the mysteries of reincarnation.

Now, thanks to the traces left by the beings on that sacrificial path, his understanding of reincarnation has become even stronger.

This gave him a sudden insight, allowing him to gain some understanding of many of his past doubts.

In addition, he gained a deeper understanding of reincarnation and a deeper knowledge of the River of Souls and the ancient underworld.

At this moment, he was immersed in a profound state of mind, and countless insights arose in his heart.

Although these insights had no impact on his cultivation level, they had become part of his foundation, serving as the resources for him to advance to the Immortal Emperor realm.

Unbeknownst to him, the path to becoming an Immortal Emperor had become increasingly clear, and the gates to the Immortal Emperor realm had opened for him.

In a short period of time, he benefited greatly; the Soul River truly gave him a pleasant surprise.

Suddenly, Ying Hao's expression shifted slightly, for he discovered a glimmer of light among the countless star debris, upon which lay a mark he had left behind.

That was clearly an ancient coffin of a deity, constantly drifting among the stellar remains.

"It was him!" Ying Hao muttered to himself.

The being inside the ancient coffin of the gods was none other than the ancient emperor of the divine silkworm.

In the lower universe, only a handful of powerful beings were able to live on and embark on the path of immortal transformation in the mortal world.

Before him, Emperor Venerable was one, Undying Emperor was one, and Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor was also one.

Among these three, the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor is definitely a special existence.

The Divine Silkworm can attain enlightenment and become an emperor after ten transformations, while the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm undergoes continuous metamorphosis after the ten transformations.

Although the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor attained enlightenment millions of years ago, he has never truly passed away and has always been on the path of continuous transformation, only the process is too long.

When the three worlds were connected, he witnessed firsthand the ancient coffin of the gods entering the Immortal Realm.

Back then, the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor was still on the path of transformation into a mortal immortal. He did not choose to disturb him, but instead left a mark on the Divine Ancient Coffin.

Unexpectedly, after years of drifting, the ancient coffin of the gods actually entered the abyss universe of the ultimate land of the Hun River.

Upon seeing each other again, he could clearly sense the aura contained within the ancient coffin of the gods.

With just one glance, he could see through the cultivation level of the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor, who had already completed the Mortal Immortal Transformation and entered the Immortal King level.

Everyone else has to cultivate diligently, even fighting in the Boundary Sea, in order to reach the Immortal King realm.

In contrast, the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm only needed to sleep and transform repeatedly, easily breaking through his limits while sleeping, which was truly enviable.

According to his observation, the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor, who has already entered the Immortal King realm, will probably awaken soon and, after stabilizing his cultivation, will be able to undergo the next transformation.

Compared to others, this transformation and cultivation method is already quite astonishing.

But this method is ultimately too time-consuming!

The reason why the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm chose this method was simply because his own race and the world of the lower realm and the immortal realm were incomplete.

Now, the Immortal Realm has been unified, and Heaven and Earth have returned to perfection.

Once again encountering the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm, it was time to awaken him.

The ancient coffin of the gods was no bigger than the palm of one's hand, its interior fitting together perfectly, as if it were a solid, unified whole. Then, Ying Hao sent out a drop of blood, pouring it onto the ancient coffin of the gods.

The ancient coffin of the gods is extraordinary; to open it, one needs the blood of someone with a powerful physique.

With his strength, he could have forced it open, but he didn't.

As blood was poured onto the ancient coffin of the deity, a "click-click" sound was heard, and the coffin lid was revealed to have been opened one layer.

Layer after layer, the ancient coffin of the gods was opened thirteen times in succession!
"Crack!"

A terrifying sound came as the last layer of the ancient coffin of the gods was opened, and the coffin lid fell to the side.

It's only the size of a thumb, but its interior is chaotic and turbulent, like a completely new world that is evolving.

Suddenly, the ancient coffin of the deity trembled, almost turning over. The chaotic energy inside the jar surged forth like a vast ocean, spreading all around.

Under Ying Hao's gaze, a cocoon resembling a jar emerged silently, emitting a faint nine-colored glow.

At this moment, the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm was like a newborn baby, in its initial state, surrounded by chaos, yet he had already awakened and sensed the abnormality.

Upon being awakened, he was instantly stunned by his surroundings.

Back then, he knew that the rules of heaven and earth were incomplete and that he himself had no possibility of making further progress.

In his later years, he sealed himself in an ancient divine coffin and slept, thus embarking on the path of transforming into a mortal immortal.

His last memory was of sealing himself in the ancient coffin of the gods.

But to my surprise, the scene around me was like this the moment I opened my eyes.

It was filled with the ruins of stars, an abyss with no end in sight, like a depleted universe.

Most importantly, the surrounding area was filled with repulsive and eerie substances, which gave him a strange sense of crisis.

After years of transformation, he has achieved the perfection of the Mortal Immortal realm and entered the realm of Immortal King.

Even someone at the Immortal King level could sense such a strong crisis, which is enough to prove the special nature of this place.

Moreover, he noticed that there was another person beside him, standing in front of him and silently watching him.

At that moment, his head was buzzing, and he even felt a chill run down his spine.

The reason for this is that he didn't notice the person immediately!

How did this person appear before me? Could it be that this person awakened me? And why would they awaken me?

Faced with an inexplicable crisis, he forced himself to calm down and focused his attention on the person in front of him.

But after just one glance, he stood there dumbfounded.

No matter how he looked at him, the person in front of him seemed very ordinary, like a mortal.

This is simply impossible. This place is so special, how could an ordinary person stay here?

This is definitely not an ordinary person; he just couldn't see through this person's true nature.

In addition, he sensed several terrifying auras colliding in the distance, with the aftershocks constantly reverberating.

That was clearly an unimaginable battle, with every aura in it far surpassing that of a Celestial King, giving him a chilling feeling.

At this moment, the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm was numb and dared not make any move.

Where exactly is this place? Who is this person whose strength is unclear? What level of battle is taking place in the distance?

He was filled with doubts and desperately wanted to understand everything, to figure out the current situation. (End of Chapter)
