The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 108 The Oath to Annihilate the Underworld: The Calamity of Slaughter Begins with the Extermination of the Undying Emperor's Lineage!

"What? It's actually the Sun Sutra."

Ye Fan, Duan De, the Black Emperor, and the Blind Man were all shocked. Not to mention them, even the Holy Prince showed a look of surprise.

"The Yin and Yang, which is weak and which is strong, Yin and Yang in harmony, the world is ruled by the emperor... One of the two great mother scriptures of the legendary human race, I never thought I would see it here."

Ning Qingyi picked up the Immortal Tears Green Gold Book. He had long since mastered the secret language of the ancient times and began to translate it carefully. Everyone knew that this matter was of great importance, so they communicated with each other through divine thought, but the eagerness in their eyes could not be diminished.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Ning Qingyi accepted the Immortal Tear Green Gold Book containing the True Scripture of the Sun, solemnly saying, "It is indeed the True Scripture of the Sun, but unfortunately it is a fragment, with only two volumes: the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm and the Sendai Secret Realm."

Even so, with the two volumes in Ning Qing's possession, he had almost collected the entire Ancient Sun Scripture.

Black Emperor made no attempt to hide his greed. He barked and began circling around him: "Ning boy, everyone gets a share. Quick, let me see which is better, this or my Black Emperor Scripture."

Everyone was speechless. This damned dog had such a big mouth, daring to compare himself to the Sun Emperor.

Duan De also greeted "Amitabha Buddha," his slightly chubby face showing no shyness as if they were meeting for the first time. He solemnly said, "Little Heavenly Venerable, I am determined to excavate ancient sites and am in dire need of a scripture like the Ancient Sun Scripture, which is extremely yang and powerful, to protect me. I hope you will show me some kindness."

Ye Fan's face darkened, but to be honest, he was also very enthusiastic about this scripture.

This is an imperial scripture! No one would be unmoved by it. Even the great emperors of ancient times, after attaining enlightenment, would take a look at it if given the chance, to verify their own path.

Ning Qingyi didn't make things difficult for them. Instead, he solemnly said, "The Sun Emperor was a martyr of our human race. Since you want to learn the Sun Scripture, you must swear an oath to help the Sun Emperor's lineage settle their blood feud! And you must agree to one condition of mine."

The group exchanged glances, but seeing his solemn expression, they knew he wasn't joking.

Duan De asked somewhat cautiously, "Brother Ning, what do you mean by blood feud?"

"This is a secret, but it's considered a well-known case even among the truly top-tier powers," Ning Qingyi revealed the secret.

"Since the Sun Saint Emperor attained the pinnacle of enlightenment and established the Sun God Sect in the Ziwei Star Region, the Sun God Sect has always been the oldest sect of our human race, and its lineage has never been interrupted."

"However, the underworld, for its own conspiracy, attacked the Sun God Cult, killing the quasi-emperors of this lineage, causing the loss of the Sun True Scripture, and leading to the decline of the cult."

"Now, I'm afraid we're not far from the extinction of the religion."

Ning Qing's expression turned serious when she said this.

"The Holy Emperor of the Sun bestows blessings upon all living beings. If his descendants commit many unjust acts, that would be one thing. However, simply because of their own cultivation, they are plundered by the Underworld. This is truly an outrage against both Heaven and humanity!"

"Since you intend to cultivate the Ancient Sun Scripture, you should swear an oath to annihilate the Underworld to appease the Emperor!"

Ning Qing spoke with absolute certainty, his gaze fixed intently on the crowd. To his surprise, the first to step forward wasn't Ye Fan, but Black Emperor.

"The Underworld! It's the Underworld again!" The Black Emperor gritted his teeth: "Not only did they murder the Emperor's closest relatives, but they also targeted the descendants of the Sun Saint Emperor. Once I have completed my cultivation and found the Emperor, I will wipe out the Underworld from top to bottom!"

Ye Fan also showed a look of resoluteness and solemnly said, "Since I have cultivated the techniques of the Holy Emperor lineage, I will naturally bear the consequences. If I succeed in my cultivation in the future, I will definitely destroy the Underworld."

The old blind man struggled for a moment, then sighed deeply: "I'm too old. Cultivating the Heavenly Secrets Techniques will shorten my lifespan, so I won't get involved in this mess. The blood feud of the Holy Emperor still needs to be settled by you young people."

The Holy Prince shook his head: "Our lineage of the Fighting Holy Ape has its own ancient scriptures, which are the most suitable for us."

Ning Qingyi turned her gaze to Duan De, the only one who hadn't responded, and stared at him, saying, "Master Duan, what do you think? Should we cultivate this Ancient Sun Scripture? Should we destroy this Underworld?"

For some reason, when Duan De was asked this question, he felt a nausea and an ominous sign.

"Pindao..."

"You dog Taoist priest, are you scared?" Ye Fan saw through his act and mocked.

"Hahaha, this wicked Taoist priest must have done too many bad things. He's afraid that if he cultivates the true scriptures and makes a vow, the underworld will really come knocking on his door." Black Emperor laughed wildly, then came to his senses: "Ye boy, what are you yelling about? What do you mean by 'dog Taoist priest'? Woof!"

Duan De could tolerate being mocked by Ye Fan, but he couldn't bear being mocked by the Black Emperor. He said, "This humble Daoist is naturally willing to shoulder the heavy responsibility. The Holy Emperor has protected the descendants of my human race, which is a great merit. How could I abandon the greater good? I will definitely annihilate the Underworld in the future!"

boom!
In broad daylight, a thunderclap startled Duan De.

"What's going on? There's a sudden clap of thunder..." he muttered, feeling a sense of foreboding.

"Brother Duan, don't overthink it. Perhaps there are some powerful figures fighting." Ning Qingyi overshadowed the sudden thunderclap and was in a good mood: "In that case, I will pass on the Sun True Scripture Transformation Dragon Scroll and the Sendai Scroll to you."

He transmitted several divine thoughts, relaying the original text of the scripture word for word.

Everyone was immediately captivated and overjoyed.

Black Emperor chuckled and said, "By the way, Ning boy, you haven't said what conditions I'm going to grant you yet. Make it clear first, I can't do anything too difficult."

Ning Qingyi said, "It's nothing. If you have the opportunity to obtain the text of the Taiyin True Scripture in the future, please pass it on to me. I have a disciple who has the Taiyin Body."

Duan De was somewhat surprised: "Is it that little girl from the Jiang family? Emperor Hengyu is really lucky. He has a Divine King Body and a Taiyin Body. I wonder how he got them."

Hei Huang also remembered Jiang Tingting and said casually, "Don't worry, I'll definitely save it for my niece, right, Ye boy!"

"Ah! Yes, yes, yes." Ye Fan snapped out of his shock and nodded quickly, but his expression was a little complicated as he looked at Ning Qingyi: "Leave Tingting's matter to me. Thanks, Qingyi."

Ning Qingyi shook his head and said, "You and I are not only classmates and friends, but also friends who have come all the way from Earth. We should support each other. However, the Imperial Scripture is of great importance. If it is leaked, it could easily cause trouble."

Everyone nodded solemnly and swore once again not to reveal this matter.

"The ancient clans are about to clash here. Are you going to stay here, or leave first?" Ning Qingyi then asked, "It's going to be very dangerous here. The Great Xia Dynasty might really be fighting to the death!"

"What does this have to do with the Great Xia Dynasty?" The Black Emperor looked suspicious.

Duan De pondered for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Could this be the tomb of the Supreme Emperor? And that deity belongs to the Supreme Emperor, not the Undying Emperor?!"

Everyone shuddered.

They set off earlier than Ning Qingyi, and thus happened to witness the deity Nian wreaking havoc. If it weren't for the experts from the Western Desert reciting the Scripture of Salvation, a truly catastrophic disaster would have occurred. In fact, in this land of heaven and earth, the bloodshed of the deity Nian could still be heard from time to time.

Ning Qingyi shook her head: "I don't know whose divine thought it is. I only know that the Emperor Taihuang was killed here."

Everyone felt a chill run from head to toe. What did they hear?
The Supreme Emperor, who founded an immortal divine dynasty, dominated the universe and all living beings for tens of thousands of years, was invincible in heaven and earth, and was one of the strongest beings in history, was killed here.

This is such astonishing news! If it gets out, the entire ancient star of the Big Dipper will tremble, and the Great Xia Dynasty will surely go crazy!
Ning Qingyi was about to continue speaking when she froze, staring in horror into the depths of the Immortal Burial Ground.

"Emperor Ancestor..."

A mournful cry echoed throughout the entire Immortal Abode. Before anyone could ponder its meaning, an even more earth-shattering roar resounded throughout the Immortal Burial Ground.

"The Immortal Emperor!" The voice shook the heavens and the earth. Even after countless ages, it still made people's ears ring. One can imagine how amazing the roar was back then, and how majestic it was.

The Holy Prince was thrilled, his bright eyes shining with golden light: "This is... Father's voice!"

"Zheng!"

A dragon sword, radiating light and dazzling brilliance, exuded an extremely terrifying power.

This is an ultimate imperial weapon!

The Supreme Emperor's Sword!
It miraculously revived on its own, its sword blade cleaving through eternity, illuminating the nine heavens, and tearing apart the entire Immortal Burial Ground!
Layer upon layer of void rifts were scraped out from the depths of the Immortal Burial Ground, destroying the earth and causing the entire world to collapse.

Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what had happened. They felt the overwhelming divine power crushing the universe, and all the paths were groaning in agony. Everyone couldn't help but want to kneel down, and it was extremely difficult to stand.

It should be noted that this place is still tens of thousands of miles away from the depths of the Immortal Burial Ground. Even so, it can make them tremble like this, which shows that the restoration of the Supreme Emperor Sword is very deep and not far from being fully restored.

"Buzz!"

Above Ning Qingyi's sea, the seemingly eternal desolate tower trembled slightly, breaking the influence of the imperial weapon. The others also had their own methods to withstand this pressure.

"Has the Great Xia Dynasty gone mad? They actually allowed the Supreme Emperor Sword to fully revive, and the Immortal Burial Ground is about to be destroyed." The Black Emperor said somewhat haltingly.

No one understands the concept of a fully revived imperial weapon better than those who have followed the Great Emperor.

That is a power capable of destroying star fields and cleaving the universe.

Not to mention the Supreme Emperor Sword, which is renowned as the number one imperial weapon for attacking humans. It's hard to imagine anything that can withstand it!
Everyone gazed into the distance and saw that the void storm had swallowed up the divine land, leaving only a vast battlefield, barren of vegetation, with rolling demonic clouds and towering flags.

An extremely powerful killing intent took root here, shocking the ages. One after another, the remnants of the Great Emperor's formations were revived, supporting its survival under the divine might of the Supreme Emperor Sword.

Within the black mist, shadowy figures appeared, remnants left from ancient times, which had not been erased even after countless years. Now, stimulated by the Supreme Emperor Sword, they suddenly surged into a frenzy.

"A figure rushed out from the black mist!"

"It is the ancestral king of the Primordial Clan!"

"They...are running for their lives!"

More than ten figures rushed out, each radiating terrifying holy might, but their disheveled appearances showed that they were in a bad situation!

"You all, die!"

The Supreme Emperor Sword transformed into a true dragon, stretching across the heavens and earth. On the dragon's head, a lone figure stood, letting out an angry roar.

The sword energy surged, tearing apart the heavens and the earth, causing everything to lose its color.

More than ten ancestral kings of the Primordial Clan stood frozen in place, then exploded with a deafening roar, their holy blood filling the heavens and earth, causing everyone to tremble with fear.

Only the Eight Gods' Female Ancestor King, whom Ning Qingyi and the others witnessed, had a piece of solid ice appear on her body, containing five-colored human skin. She also exuded a majestic imperial aura, blocking the sword energy.

The female ancestor queen escaped the calamity and rushed out without looking back, leaving the depths of the Immortal Burial Ground.

The dragon that the Supreme Emperor Sword transformed into did not pursue, but instead let out a low mournful cry and encircled a certain area with its body.

At the entrance to the Immortal Burial Ground, due to the raging spatial storm, many people from the Immortal Burial Ground had to gather together. The ancient races and the human race were all together, extremely shocked and angry.

"More than ten ancient kings died just like that..."

"Humans have gone mad! Do they want to start a war with all the ancient races?!"

But soon, an ancient member of the Primordial Clan who had returned from the depths earlier revealed the truth, leaving everyone stunned.

"The one who died deep in the Immortal Burial Ground was the Supreme Emperor, an invincible supreme being who reigned supreme in heaven and earth!" someone said in fear.

"The Emperor died without a complete corpse, it's terrifying." Some people even trembled, as if they were witnessing a nightmare.

"The one who shouted 'Immortal Emperor' is actually the Victorious Fighting Emperor... You should know that in the past, the Victorious Emperor overturned the Immortal Emperor's dojo!" Someone looked at the Victorious Emperor's son.

With just a few words, everyone combined them with the Undying Heavenly Blade and made a terrifying conjecture.

The Immortal Emperor is not dead. Moreover, he has a grudge against the Fighting Saint Emperor and the Supreme Emperor. There is no trace of him in ancient history, so it is very likely that the Immortal Emperor is intentionally concealing his whereabouts.

"The Immortal Burial Ground is the connecting point on the path to immortality. The Undying Emperor set a trap and has ambushed countless ancient emperors and great emperors in later generations."

Ning Qingyi stated his conclusion directly, putting an end to the matter and causing a huge uproar.

"Human, you are slandering the gods!"

"The human emperor is dead, no match for the supreme god of our ancient race, so he is spouting nonsense and framing us!"

Among the myriad ancient races, there were those who held faith in the Undying Emperor and vehemently denounced him, but many other powerful races had strange glints in their eyes.

Without a doubt, the secrets deep within the Immortal Burial Ground are truly astonishing, and the Great Xia Dynasty will not let this matter rest; it will definitely bring about a catastrophe.

Upon realizing this, all the ancient clans could no longer sit still and rushed out as if their lives depended on it.

"Let's go too!"

Ning Qingyi led the group out as well. From the Immortal Burial Ground to the exit of the Qishi Mansion, it was a full 30,000 li. Along the way, they encountered many attacks, and even a King who had severed the Dao made a move, but in the end they were all repelled and came out safely.

When the old sage of Qishi Mansion saw him come out, he nodded and said, "Go and rest quickly, the ancient star is about to be in chaos."

Ning Qing nodded. Without a doubt, this calamity was caused by him.

In the days that followed, the five regions were shaken, and the three supreme figures—the Supreme Emperor, the Fighting Saint Emperor, and the Undying Heavenly Emperor—became the focus of world discussion.

A large number of elders from the Great Xia Dynasty emerged from their hidden depths, their expressions filled with sorrow, and headed to the burial ground to pay homage to their ancestors. In the end, they gathered the remains of the Grand Emperor and placed them in what was originally just a cenotaph for the imperial tomb.

……

A month later, a message spread throughout the five regions.

The Great Xia Divine Dynasty declared war on the lineage of the Undying Emperor, vowing to fight tooth to tooth and blood until death!
The five regions were thrown into chaos!
