I am the first emperor of the ancient times

The ten progenitors took a step forward in unison, and all the heavens responded to that boundless power. The heavens trembled, and infinite power surged.

The ten progenitors have merged into one, transforming into a terrifying figure. As the ghostly mist merges with it, the figure gains a touch of agility.

"Boom!"

The whole world resonated with it, all realms trembled, all heavens and realms were shattered, the boundless Great Dao was burning, a phenomenon that shook the past and shone through the ages.

The beings of all the heavens and myriad realms had become numb, and all of them had seen the terrifying figure reflected in the sky above all the realms.

They all felt immense pressure, and even couldn't help but want to kowtow and submit. They could feel that terrifying aura had completely surpassed that of Emperor Haotian and the others.

"Today, you will all be utterly annihilated!" the will of the plateau declared.

By integrating with its carrier, it can now utilize the power of ritual practices in the outside world.

With this power, let alone six priests, even if there were many more priests, what could they change?
At this moment, the Desolate Emperor's gaze had already fallen upon the figure that had merged into one.

With their strength, they could naturally sense the terrifying power contained within that figure.

Even though they were prepared, they were still amazed by the terrifying power on the sacrificial path. They could clearly feel the huge gap between themselves and this figure.

"Fight!" Ying Hao shouted.

The day has finally arrived. After the Highland Will merged with the Strange Ancestor, its strength has surpassed that of the Sacrificial Dao, which is equivalent to a portion of the Highland Will descending.

This is an unprecedentedly powerful opponent; in the face of such an adversary, any plans or schemes are futile.

Upon hearing Ying Hao's words, the Desolate Emperor knew what awaited them next.
Faced with such a terrifying opponent, and the will of the highlands atop the sacrificial path, no amount of planning could make up for it.

In any case, they only have one path in front of them: only by fighting to the death can they have a chance of survival.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" roared the Desolate Emperor and the others.

At this moment, the eyes of the Desolate Emperor, Ye Fan, the Empress, and the other priests were filled with boundless fighting spirit.

No matter how strong their will to endure the high altitude, they have already come this far, and there is no reason for them to retreat any further.

Faith illuminates the past, present, and future; the strength and fighting spirit of a few individuals continue to rise, enough to shake the eternal sky.

Heaven and earth resonated, and all things roared incessantly, as if bidding farewell to several celestial emperors.

The eyes of the Desolate Emperor and the others flashed like lightning as they fearlessly stepped forward, facing the will of the plateau head-on.

"Why bother? But what can I change? It's just like a moth drawn to a flame!" Gao Yuanyi said coldly.

It seemed like a supreme creator, looking down upon all living beings, calmly gazing at the Desolate Emperor and the others.

No amount of sacrifices could pose a threat to it; it didn't take anyone seriously at all.

In its eyes, these people were nothing more than playthings, and it had made up its mind to eliminate them one by one.

It wanted to make Ying Hao, who had once spoken arrogantly, witness everything happen with his own eyes. Only in this way could it vent its hatred.

Immediately afterwards, the will of the plateau stirred, and a terrifying aura caused all the heavens and myriad realms to tremble.

The colossal hand descended, radiating unimaginable power, shattering everything in its path, from the past to the future, causing everything to crumble—it was terrifying beyond measure.

The mighty hand sweeps across all realms, unleashing power far exceeding that of the Sacrifice Dao, and everything is being overturned.

His simple move had already surpassed the level of the Great Dao, radiating dazzling light and dividing the river of time into segments.

The great hand was released from the source of ancient history, intending to obliterate many sacrificial dao, including the Desolate Heaven Emperor.

Despite the high plateau's will, the Desolate Emperor and his companions showed no fear. Even if it meant burning their last drop of blood, they would fight to the death.

The Desolate Emperor's black hair fluttered, his gaze was resolute, and the Great Luo Sword Embryo unleashed a terrifying sword light.

Ye Fan's blood energy surged, and the Law of Heaven and Earth and the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation were fully activated, creating a terrifying true form that obscured the entire world.

"kill!"

The Empress's expression was indifferent, her white robes were breathtaking, ten thousand fairy flowers fell, sword light soared to the sky, and countless flames ignited.

The bell of the Beginningless era rang out loudly, deafeningly so, and the power of rules permeated the air.
The five priests joined forces, their terrifying power illuminating the heavens, their powerful aura filling in the gaps between the past, present, and future.

The five Heavenly Emperors are omnipresent, traversing the world, their crimson stains spreading as they seek to shatter everything.

Their unparalleled strike was aimed at the will of the plateau.

However, the difference in their levels was ultimately immense, and could not be compensated for by sheer numbers. With a crushing blow, the Thunder Pool shattered, the cauldron exploded, the sword broke, the Emperor Bell crumbled, and chaos was completely dried up, leaving behind only devastation.

The Desolate Emperor and the others remained silent for a long time, their figures dim and indistinct, as if they might dissipate at any moment. Their bodies were covered with cracks, and they were extremely weak.

"Your turn is coming soon!" the Will of the Plateau spoke again.

It paid no attention to the situation of the Desolate Emperor and the others, its gaze remaining fixed on Ying Hao.

The reason it finally attacked Ying Hao was to make him despair and realize that all resistance was futile.

Immediately afterwards, the colossal hand moved again, this time stained with the blood of the Desolate Emperor and others.

"That's not necessarily true!" Ying Hao snorted coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, four dazzling rays of light surrounded him. These were the three innate treasures: the Chaos Bell, the Pangu Banner, and the Taiji Diagram, as well as the Great Dao artifact, the Creation Jade Disc.

Then, the three innate treasures intertwined and merged, transforming into an ancient and powerful axe, which was none other than the Pangu Axe.

With the Jade Disc of Creation above his head and the Pangu Axe in his hand, he suddenly had a moment of enlightenment.

A series of insights came to mind, and the path he had come from gradually reappeared. He was already immersed in a mysterious state and could not extricate himself.

In a hazy, dreamlike state, he seemed to have arrived in a vast, chaotic world, where heaven and earth had not yet been created and chaos had not yet been divided. He seemed to have become that towering figure.

"break!"

Ying Hao suddenly opened his eyes, waking up from his mysterious state, and a terrifying Daoist aura began to emerge.

At this moment, the power of the sacrificial path gathered around him and then exploded with a roar.

After years of accumulation, with the help of the Jade Disc of Creation and the Pangu Axe, he finally stepped into the realm above the Dao of Sacrifice.

"Bluster! Deceptive tactics!" Gao Yuanzhi said.

It could clearly sense the power contained within Ying Hao, but it didn't care.

In its view, Ying Hao's actions were merely a bluff; the real plan was simply to buy time and continue the dying struggle.

Breaking through the path of sacrifice is not so easy. He didn't believe that the person in front of him could go any further.

"Is that so? Today I'll show you what true sacrificial rituals are all about!" Ying Hao said loudly.

As he spoke, he swung the Pangu Axe in his hand, cleaving out everything with a single blow, suppressing and destroying all.

It severed time and space, shattered cause and effect and destiny, and broke all laws with one force.

Immediately afterwards, that invincible figure was torn apart by an axe and vanished from the world.

The next moment, Ying Hao, with the Jade Disc of Creation above his head and the Pangu Axe in his hand, had already stepped into the plateau.

"How can it be!"

The plateau roared, and a dark mist swirled; the will of the plateau in its ancestral land could not comprehend what lay before it.

It swept towards Ying Hao, the dark mist constantly boiling, using its immense power to become terrifying to the extreme.

However, Ying Hao, who had set foot on the plateau, could disperse the vast, dark fog with just a glance.

The will of the plateau did not yield. These ancient coffins rose up from the depths of the plateau, but the other rotting corpses were the other resources he had accumulated.

"Boom!"

The terrifying figures killed Ying Hao, but it was all in vain and useless.

Ying Hao swung his axe again, and all the terrifying figures that attacked collapsed and melted away, leaving Gao Yuan with no chance of regeneration.

The axe light swept across the heavens, and the moment it landed on the plateau, the entire plateau collapsed and disintegrated.

The mist dissipated, and the last primordial matter floated up, only to be submerged and covered by the light emanating from Ying Hao, completely incinerated.

After this battle, the strange race was completely wiped out, the plateau was utterly destroyed, and Ying Hao reached the realm above the Dao of Sacrifice.

As for the Desolate Emperor and Ye Fan, they have already undergone sufficient training, and it is only a matter of time before they step onto the path of sacrifice.

Even though he had already reached the realm above the Path of Sacrifice, Ying Hao believed that this was not the end. There were even higher realms above the Path of Sacrifice waiting for them to explore and pursue!
However, that's another story!
