The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 110 Ten Imperial Weapons Clash! The Great Xia Dynasty's Resolve
The 100,000-strong imperial army roared like mountains, their cold light shining on their iron armor, their killing intent piercing the heavens, causing the stars to tremble in disarray.

The myriad races of the ancient times all paled in shock. This was the full force of a divine dynasty in this world; a mere branch of the human race had already surpassed even the royal family. And the human race possessed six such forces on the ancient star of the Big Dipper!

This saddened many ancient races, who had remained sealed away for millennia. Although they had escaped the great calamity at the end of the primordial era, they had lost far too much. They could only console themselves that at least their races had survived and had not vanished into the annals of time.

The Great Sage Kunzhou looked at the Divine Dynasty's Iron Army and sneered.

Hun Tuo Dasheng watched all this indifferently and said, "Although I do not know how the Supreme Emperor passed away, it could never have been the Heavenly Emperor who did it!"

The fifth-generation descendant of the Great Emperor said menacingly, "I have already gone to Yaochi to verify. After the Great Emperor Wushi took over Zishan, he did not find the coffin of the Undying Emperor inside. However, in the Immortal Mansion World, there is his five-colored human skin, which means that the top of the tower was indeed a fake death!"

"Why would a supreme figure fake his death and escape? Does it even need to be explained?"

The fifth-generation descendant of the Emperor Taihuang shouted loudly.

The Great Sage Hun Tuo's expression changed, and he said solemnly, "Impossible! The Undying Emperor would never do such a thing! He is a proud man who was born to make all the gods of the heavens and myriad realms grovel at his feet. He would rather die than submit. He claims to be the greatest of all time, how could he bow his head?"

Kun Zhou Great Sage sneered: "What are you trying to say? Your human emperor died on the path to immortality, yet you insist on dragging in immortal gods. It should be us asking you, what are your human race's true intentions?"

Upon hearing this, the fifth-generation descendant of the Emperor Taihuang turned cold, and the 100,000-strong iron army of the Great Xia Dynasty also fell silent.

A chilling atmosphere was brewing here, clearly indicating that the Great Sage of Kunzhou was stepping on the sore spot of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The fifth-generation descendant of the Grand Emperor stared at Kun Zhou and said coldly, "Do you think that just because you borrowed an imperial weapon, you have the right to interfere? Do you really think only ancient clans can lend people around?"

Kun Zhou was slightly taken aback, and then he heard the loud shout of the fifth-generation descendant of the Emperor Taihuang.

"We beseech the decree of the Supreme Ruler of Yaochi!"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi, dressed in flowing white robes, appeared as if the mistress of the Moon Palace had descended to earth. She sighed softly, but then held her breath and solemnly approached the center of the battlefield, retrieving a decree.

“According to the Ancestral Master’s decree, this is a dispute between the Great Xia Divine Dynasty and the lineage of the Undying Emperor. The innocent must not be harmed, nor should other royal families be involved!” Yaochi Saintess asked softly, “Kunzhou Great Sage, Huntuo Great Sage, and the Imperial Weapon of the Myriad Dragon Nest, please leave immediately.”

A radiant golden paper, exuding the aura of an unparalleled emperor.

The Black Emperor muttered to himself, "So that's why they asked me for the Emperor's decree."

This gold paper is solemn, grand, sacred, and peaceful. The aura it exudes makes people want to bow down. This kind of thing is difficult to imitate and is definitely an object above the highest level.

Hun Tuo Dasheng was taken aback, and his expression changed drastically.

Kun Tuo, the Great Sage, also looked grim, his face turning ashen.

As for the Eight Divine Guardians, they had already shown signs of despair.

The fifth-generation descendant of the Grand Emperor stared coldly at the two, his eyes filled with obvious intimidation. However, he showed no smugness; for the mighty Great Xia Dynasty to need the help of other forces was already shameful.

It was only out of necessity to avenge our ancestors' blood feud.

The Great Sage Hun Tuo sighed: "Did the Supreme Being of the Human Race really intend to sever the lineage of the Undying Gods by issuing such an edict?"

Kun Zhou Great Sage coldly asked, "The Great Xia Divine Dynasty possesses imperial weapons and has Great Sage-level figures. The human race's supreme ruler is being far too unreasonable, trying to bully the weak and vulnerable!"

When the Great Sage was enraged, the wind and clouds changed color, and his holy might directly threatened the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

But the latter remained fearless, simply because she knew the immense responsibility she bore this time.

"The patriarch also said that if an ancient clan stands up for him, that's fine too, and Yaochi will consider him a follower of the Undying Emperor lineage. But imperial weapons are not acceptable."

"The Holy Maiden of Yaochi said in a cold voice."

"Kun Zhou, you may intervene if you wish, but simply return the Myriad Dragon Bell. The Undying Emperor lineage possesses its own imperial weapons. If you wish to wage war with imperial weapons, let the Undying Heavenly Blade come!"

Kun Zhou Great Sage was somewhat shocked and angry. He glanced at the Great Sage of the Great Xia Dynasty who was holding the Taihuang Sword, and knew that even if he stood up for himself, he would be no match for the fifth-generation descendant of the Taihuang who was holding the imperial weapon. The best outcome would be mutual destruction.

“Great Sage Hun Tuo, you may join the lineage of the Undying Emperor,” the Holy Maiden of Yaochi said calmly.

The Great Sage Hun Tuo's expression changed slightly, and he sighed, saying, "I just couldn't bear to see the people of Beidou suffer, not that I wanted to disobey the Supreme Decree."

The fifth-generation descendant of the Emperor laughed heartily, then said sternly, "Rest assured, the Big Dipper will not suffer widespread death. Those who shed blood here today will be the lineage of the Immortal Emperor!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Sage of Kunzhou remained expressionless, then shouted loudly, "Fellow Daoists, you see! This is the human race—the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold,' you surely understand that!"

"Fellow Daoist Kunzhou is right!"

In the Northern Region, a pristine land shimmered with golden light. A roar echoed across the mountains and rivers. This was the ancient royal stronghold, renowned throughout history... the Golden Cave.

In the past, the Golden Ancient Emperor once dominated the Primordial Era, and his clan was renowned throughout the entire ancient star. His golden mace could strike down immortals above and all living beings below, making it incredibly terrifying.

In this generation, besides the children of the ancient emperor, there is also a Great Sage as a foundation to suppress them.

The Golden Great Sage opened his eyes in the ancient cave, his golden pupils burning with two torch-like rays of light. He suddenly stood up and took out the clan's supreme treasure... the Supreme Ancient Emperor Weapon, the Golden Mace.

Then he took a step forward and came to the center of the battlefield, standing shoulder to shoulder with Kun Zhou.

"Humans are too domineering. We, the myriad races, have finally survived from the ancient times to this day. We should help each other!" Another figure descended. He was very ancient. Many people were shocked. It was Qianlun, the Great Sage of the Myriad Dragon Nest!

The Myriad Dragon Bell disappeared into his palm, and with a gentle movement, it emitted an extremely melodious celestial sound that captivated people's hearts.

But that wasn't all; two more earth-shattering figures descended from the sky.

One of them held a brilliant weapon, its entire body a crystal-clear blue, dazzlingly beautiful, exuding an aura of ancient imperial power.

This is the famous Qilin Staff from ancient times!
It is made of eternal blue gold, shining brightly. At the end of the staff is a Qilin head, lifelike and emitting overwhelming imperial power, as if the supreme ruler of the past has been resurrected.

The person who controls him is also extremely terrifying; he is the Great Sage Yanqi from the Fire Kirin Cave.

Another figure held a weapon as red as blood—the Phoenix Wing Golden Halberd—and was none other than the old patriarch of the Blood Phoenix Mountain lineage.

Everyone gasped.

The Myriad Dragon Bell, the Golden Mace, the Qilin Staff, and the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd—four imperial weapons appeared at once, their terrifying aura causing all things in heaven and earth to change color.

Those from the ancient myriad races couldn't help but cheer upon witnessing this scene. Clearly, the Great Xia Dynasty was in a completely disadvantageous position.

As for the human race, they couldn't help but look at the many great emperor families or immortal lineages.

The fifth-generation descendant of the Grand Emperor had long known that things wouldn't be so simple, but seeing this scene still weighed heavily on his heart. He transmitted his thoughts through divine power.

“Fellow Daoist, once the lineage of the Undying Emperor is annihilated, everything will be fulfilled.”

"Boom..." Suddenly, there was another tremor, the sky shook, and an ancient scroll flew out from the void, hovering in mid-air, covering the sky and the earth.

"Heavens! This is the Nine Li Map, the ultimate imperial weapon of the Nine Li Immortal Divine Dynasty in the Central Plains!"

This ancient scroll encompasses all things in heaven and earth, and contains the three thousand great worlds. It can suppress and refine everything!

Below him was the Saint King from the Jiuli Divine Dynasty.

"boom!"

An ancient cauldron appeared in mid-air, and someone recognized its origin: it was the legendary Ancient Hua Ding!

Without a doubt, the Ancient Hua Dynasty also arrived.

"My God, three of the four great divine dynasties of Zhongzhou have already produced imperial weapons!"

"The Divine Continent Dynasty is the only one that hasn't made a move yet. I think it's about to happen. Could it be that the four great dynasties are really going to join forces?!"

"Qiang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant axe cleaved through the void. One side of it was imprinted with the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, stars, and the universe, while the other side was engraved with three thousand gods and demons, radiating an astonishing aura of malevolence.

"The Divine Continent Axe! It really is the Divine Continent Axe! The Divine Continent Dynasty has also arrived, and the four great imperial weapons of the Central Continent have all gathered!"

The humans cheered and jumped for joy.

The situation suddenly became four against four, and the ancient clan's plan to use its power to intimidate others completely failed!
Ye Fan and the others were also dumbfounded. They sighed and said, "What is this? A grand gathering of imperial weapons? How are we ordinary cultivators supposed to survive in the future?"

Ning Qing smiled and said, "It's not like you can't borrow an imperial weapon. Besides, once your Sacred Body is fully developed, your physical body will be comparable to an imperial weapon. What do you have to fear? Just treat it as a memorable moment and witness history!"

Black Emperor, always eager for chaos, barked and shouted, "Attack! Attack! Maybe we can even pick up some fragments of imperial weapons!"

Ning Qingyi finished speaking.

A gourd emerged from the void, dark blue in color, as if it were a real plant rather than something refined, and its mouth spewed out chaotic energy.

This is the ancestral weapon of the original lake and the famous imperial weapon of Emperor Yuan.

Without a doubt, the powerful figures from the Primordial Lake lineage have also arrived.

The onlookers felt their blood pressure rise and fall, one after another. Without a doubt, no matter how far this battle went, it would be a significant chapter in this history.

But just as the primordial lake emerged, a figure in white drifted in from afar.

God King Jiang Taixu!
In his hand appeared a bright red furnace, dazzling and imposing, floating in his palm. On it were phoenixes spreading their wings and the sun rising, ancient and grand.

It is forged from phoenix blood and crimson gold; it is the Eternal Universe Furnace!

"boom!"

Jiang Taixu remained unmoved, while the Hengyu Furnace rapidly expanded, reaching the height of the sky. Its entire body was crystal clear, crimson like a blood diamond, and surrounded by layers of smoke and mist.

The ancient races were momentarily bewildered. One after another, supreme imperial weapons and supreme emperor weapons appeared, seemingly worthless, like vegetables being sold on the street. But soon they were filled with dread and shock.

Many people are very anxious, realizing a terrible fact.

"Where is Shencan Ridge? Why haven't their supreme ancient emperor weapons come?"

"And the ancient imperial weapon of the Fighting Saint Emperor... That's right, the Fighting Saint Emperor lineage and the Undying Emperor lineage have a feud, probably related to the roar of the old Saint Emperor of the Immortal Mansion World."

At this moment, many of the ancient races, high above all others, realized an undeniable fact: as long as the human race is united, it is not afraid of the ancient races, and even if they were combined, they would most likely lose.

Moreover, among all races, there are blood feuds between them!
The leaders of the ancient royal families exchanged glances, their expressions grave.

Apart from the fifth-generation descendant of the Great Xia Dynasty, who is a Great Sage, all other human beings who wield imperial weapons are only at the level of Saint or Saint King. If a real war breaks out, they will definitely lose in the end.

But just like the Great Xia Divine Dynasty, who can guarantee that the Nine Li Divine Dynasty, the Ancient Hua Divine Dynasty, the Divine Continent Divine Dynasty, and the Ancient Jiang Family do not have the foundation of a Great Sage suppressing them?
Even considering the situation of the ancient royal family itself, it would be abnormal if there was no Great Sage to suppress them!
Moreover, Yaochi hasn't even made a move yet. A supreme quasi-emperor wielding an imperial artifact is powerful enough to silence the ancient clans.

The two sides stood facing each other in the void, neither saying a word, until the fifth-generation descendant of the Emperor Taihuang spoke.

"I had no idea that you ancient royal families would also become followers of the Undying Emperor. I wonder if the other emperors would be furious if they found out!"

The Golden Sage said, "We came here only to intimidate the human race, but it seems we did the right thing. Your human race's imperial lineage has actually united."

Upon hearing this, the other ancient emperors also showed a wary look in their eyes.

The fifth-generation descendant of the Grand Emperor calmly said, "Rest assured, your worries will not come true. The reason why the other three great dynasties took action is because I am willing to hand over the territory of the Great Xia Divine Dynasty in order to destroy the Undying Emperor lineage!"

Such a thing will never happen again.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

The Central Plains are vast and boundless. The Great Xia Dynasty occupies the largest and most precious part of its territory, which was won by countless ancestors who fought and sacrificed their lives. Now, it may be lost with a single word.

This shows how deep the Great Xia Divine Dynasty's hatred for the Undying Emperor's lineage was!

The sage of the Ancient Hua Divine Dynasty also said: "What you say is true, Brother Dao. We had an agreement beforehand that if other ancient royal families intervened and a great war eventually broke out, then the Great Xia Divine Dynasty would be willing to transfer the divine land afterwards."

The sage of the Divine Continent Dynasty revealed an eager expression: "If you want war, then let's fight! Otherwise, the reward from our Divine Dynasty will be too low!"

"A blood feud, this is what a blood feud really is!" someone exclaimed.

"The old sage of Great Xia truly has great courage; he spared no expense for the sake of the ancient ancestor." Some people admired him.

Ning Qing's eyes flashed, and she said, "The sage of Great Xia was not blinded by blood feud after all; he still considered the future generations."

"What do you mean?" Ye Fan asked, somewhat surprised.

“The Undying Heavenly Blade,” Ning Qingyi said. “This imperial weapon is too miraculous. Even without a controller, once it is revived, it is definitely not something the Great Xia Divine Dynasty can withstand.”

"To massacre the Emperor's offspring and then flee into the deep space, this might be the wisest course of action for the Great Xia Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, many ancient royal families knew that the Great Xia Dynasty had already staked everything and was no longer afraid of a fight to the death, or the sinking of the Big Dipper. This completely thwarted their plan to use force to oppress others.

A look of grief flashed in the eyes of the Great Sage of the Great Xia Dynasty; clearly, he had his doubts. But in order to exact revenge, he had no choice but to gamble everything.

"So, fellow Daoists from the ancient royal families, please step aside! I advise you not to interfere any further!"
