I am the first emperor of the ancient times

Above the heavens, in the land of destruction, the mighty Heavenly Army marches ever onward.

As Ying Hao walked along, all he could see were broken walls and ruins, collapsed palaces, and faint glimpses of the glory of ancient times.

Before this, although the palace was dilapidated, it was not lacking in vitality.

But as the army continued to penetrate deeper into the heavens, even the vegetation became sparse and no longer lush.

Like a land of confusion, shrouded in gray mist, filled with eerie substances, with withered skeletons faintly visible, and ruins everywhere.

"Such a vast world has come to this state; the strange race truly deserved to die!" Ying Hao exclaimed with deep emotion.

Who could have imagined that a once glorious world would end up like this?

The culprit behind all this is the Mysterious Clan.

As far as he knew, every so often, the strange race would launch a grand sacrifice, offering sacrifices to countless beings throughout the heavens and the myriad realms.

Every grand sacrifice is a bloody purge, after which most of the beings in the myriad realms perish.

Even if only a very small number of living beings remain, they survive as seeds so that they can be harvested next time.

To all the realms and worlds, the strange race that has committed countless blood debts is nothing short of parasites.

If there were no strange race, and all the worlds were no longer disturbed by the strange, how prosperous would they be?

"The Strange Clan is indeed powerful. Back then, Heaven..." Luo Tianxian was lost in memories.

As a survivor from the heavens, she personally experienced that battle and even faced the strange race directly, knowing just how powerful they were.

In that battle, Heaven was utterly defeated; countless lives were lost, and the earth was stained with blood.

More than 80% of all living beings perished, and the once magnificent world has been reduced to ruins, filled with only one substance.

It should be noted that the Heavenly Realm was once extremely glorious, and their Pollen Path cultivation system was also extremely brilliant, with several powerful figures at the Immortal Emperor level presiding over it.

Even so, Heaven still failed. The strength of the strange race was beyond imagination. Not only were there many powerful beings at the Immortal Emperor level, but there were also ancestors at the Sacrifice Dao level.

In that battle, she lost everything!

Her elder sister, Empress Huafenlu, was strangled by a strange ancestor at the sacrificial level, and several Immortal Emperors also perished one after another.

In the end, the progenitor of the pollen road sacrificed herself to save them. Among the Immortal Emperor level, only she and Meng Hai survived, while the rest of the deceased Daoist friends left only a trace of their spirits.

The power of the strange race was so great that he couldn't even muster the thought of resisting, and he saw no hope at all.

She and Meng Hai have built a mortal saga together, barely surviving for so many years, but haven't they been deceiving themselves?

But Ying Hao's appearance shattered all illusions and gave them hope again.

“That’s right, the Strange Clan is indeed powerful. We must be cautious on this trip!” Jiu Daoyi chimed in.

He and many other veterans of the Heavenly Court always followed the Desolate Emperor, working together to eliminate strange creatures.

In their pursuit of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, they experienced countless battles, and their understanding of the Mysterious Clan even surpassed that of the Immortal Emperor Luo Tianxian.

Even the power that destroyed the heavens was not the entirety of the Strange Race, but only a portion of their power.
They had encountered at least seven Immortal Emperor level experts.

The true number of powerful members of the Mysterious Clan is only more than seven.

The path to becoming an Immortal Emperor is incredibly difficult; throughout history, only a handful have ever achieved this in all the myriad realms. Yet, this strange race possesses so many Immortal Emperors. Long ago, due to insufficient cultivation, they couldn't keep up with the pace of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and chose to return to the Immortal Realm to recuperate.

However, to this day, the strange race has not disappeared, the Desolate Emperor has not returned, and they have lost all news of him.

They were all aware of the power of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. Even someone as powerful as the Desolate Heavenly Emperor could not completely wipe out the Strange Clan, which was enough to demonstrate the strength of the Strange Clan.

Upon hearing Luo Tianxian and Jiu Daoyi's descriptions, Ye Fan and the others became extremely solemn.

Over the years, through the words of the Jade Emperor, they had gained a preliminary understanding of the power of the strange race.

During the battle at the River of Souls, they witnessed firsthand the power of the strange race.

The four major strongholds not only have a large number of quasi-immortal emperors, but also have immortal emperor powerhouses stationed there.

If it weren't for the Jade Emperor holding back the strange Immortal Emperor back then, it would have been uncertain whether they could have returned to the Immortal Realm alive.

It was through Luo Tianxian and Jiu Daoyi that they gained a deeper understanding of the strange race.

They had imagined the power of the Strange Clan, but now it seems that no matter how much they imagined it, it was only the tip of the iceberg of the Strange Clan's true strength.

The strange race actually possesses the ability to destroy a top-tier world, easily annihilating the Celestial Realm, which boasts several Immortal Emperors.

In addition, they even learned that the mysterious Immortal Emperor could be resurrected and return.

At this moment, they finally understood just how terrifying the strength of the strange race that the Jade Emperor had spoken of truly was.

The Heavenly Army continued its march, a vast and mighty force that annihilated all the strange creatures it encountered, finally reaching the edge of the heavens.

Suddenly, a blurry ancient road appeared, carrying an aura of eternal desolation, spreading from the distance and traversing the void.

This is the ancient underworld's cycle of reincarnation, emanating the aura of supreme beings. Eight beings approached from afar, moving at incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, eight ominous creatures carrying a hidden aura of malevolence had already stepped out of the ancient cycle of reincarnation, a distance of billions of miles.

Almost at the same time, another indistinct path also connected to this place, which was the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit.

The monsters there crawled out of the burial pits, exuding an unparalleled aura, and arrived at this place immediately.

Their bodies were covered in blood mist, a thousand times more ferocious than vengeful ghosts, beyond description.

Then, two other cycles of reincarnation appeared, connecting the Four Extremes Floating Land and the River of Souls.

Endless dust and soul light were swept up by the great wind and surged into the heavens, eventually piecing together several beings exuding supreme aura.

In the blink of an eye, the four strange bridgeheads appeared, and more than twenty strange quasi-immortal emperors stepped out of the cycle of reincarnation.

Then, an unparalleled aura of terror emerged, shaking all the heavens and myriad realms.

At the end of the cycle of reincarnation, a towering figure appeared, its terrifying aura overwhelming everything.

"Today, you will all be destroyed!"

The voice was ethereal and indifferent, devoid of any emotion. As the voice rang out, the heavens trembled continuously, clearly indicating that this was a Celestial Emperor.

However, this was not the end. Several more figures appeared one after another beside that towering figure.

One, two.
There were a total of six, each radiating the aura of an Immortal Emperor! (End of Chapter)
