The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 143 Dominating the Three Realms, the Royal Family Returns

In recent years, BeiDou has shown a strong trend of becoming the center of the universe, attracting exploration from all directions.

To put it nicely, it's a glorious era; to put it bluntly, turmoil is imminent. Too many races have appeared, and wave after wave of extraterrestrial saints have descended, causing great upheaval.

For some time now, there have been daily duels between sages, and everyone is in danger of being wiped off the face of the earth. But today, these duels have all stopped without prior agreement, and everyone is looking towards the northern plains.

There, an ark from outer space landed, filling the entire ancient star with a sense of impending doom and impending storm.

When the Ancestral King descended, all the saints from beyond the realms rushed to the scene and watched. Finally, as the sun set in the west, the cabin door of the warship opened, and an aura of star field reversal emanated from its depths, filling everyone with fear.

Boom! The moment the hatch was flung open, a vast and overwhelming holy aura surged forth, boiling over, with strange phenomena flying everywhere, and filled with a sense of familiarity that made everyone's expression change.

"The aura of humans? All the saints inside the Ark are humans?!" The Ancestral Kings' expressions changed drastically as they realized something terrifying: how could so many human saints suddenly appear?
There, the gates were wide open, and dark, fierce winds raged and danced wildly, shaking the sky and cutting through the earth, carrying several figures who slowly emerged. Each of them was tall and majestic, as if they could crush the eternal blue sky.

They walked slowly, but were quite awe-inspiring. Each one seemed to have been baptized by time, their bodies integrated with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, merging into the Dao principles.

Buzz! Auspicious clouds drifted across the sky, stars in the heavens turned upside down in worship, and rosy clouds shone on the earth, all surrounding this group of figures. This was a strange phenomenon caused by the resonance of their cultivation, recognized by heaven and earth, which bestowed various auspicious omens upon them. Each of them was honored as a patriarch, holding a position equivalent to a giant.

"This aura surpasses even that of a Heavenly King; it's the true power of a Great Sage!" A Saint King from beyond the realm exclaimed in horror. This was a group of Great Sages, undeniably powerful enough to rule the star field and oversee the rise and fall of the world.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Great Sage!

This is a regional patriarch, a transcendent figure who leaps like a giant!
"One, two... six?! Six Great Saints?!" "This, this is impossible, where did so many giants come from?"

"Impossible, this doesn't make sense. I don't believe there would be so many experts. What would they be doing here in Beidou?"

Immediately, a series of thuds filled the air as a vast number of creatures on the ground prostrated themselves in worship. People of all races were present, all trembling with fear.

The atmosphere was terrifying beyond compare; no one could stand.

Six figures stood there: Duanmu the Great Sage, Tianyang the Great Sage, Xuanyin the Great Sage, Haoyang the Great Sage, Yinluo the Great Sage, and the Slaughtering Beast King.

They gazed at this land, their eyes flashing with endless Dao patterns, observing the experts here and the forbidden zones of life.

Under such oppression, the vast northern plains were completely silent; not a single person could utter a word.

You must understand that nowadays, with countless races and royal families rising up, it would be difficult to find even one new Great Sage. Yet here, six have appeared all at once!
Everyone else felt a chill run down their spines, sensing the vast difference between heaven and earth. The appearance of six Great Saints was unprecedented, even among the most powerful royal families of the Big Dipper, as they were no longer in their prime and had already weakened.

At this moment, a titled Ancestral King was horrified, for he caught sight of the Profound Yin Great Sage and the Slaughtering Beast King of the Ziwei Sect. He couldn't help but retreat, exclaiming in a low voice, "They've returned! The high-ranking members of the Ziwei Sect who left Beidou have returned!"

Are they back?
The words echoed in everyone's ears like thunder, leaving them all in a daze.

Three years have passed, and the Ziwei Sect's leaders have been gone without a trace since they left. Many people thought they would not return for a long time, but unexpectedly, they have returned today.

The scene was so grand, with six Great Saints arriving together. Were they trying to turn the Five Realms upside down?
"Is it really the Ziwei Sect that left back then? Did they return to their ancestral star and bring back all the experts from there?"

"Six Great Sages, a host of Heavenly Kings and Holy Kings, and dozens of Saints!"

"My God, what are they doing? Has the Ziwei royal family descended upon us?"

Everyone was shocked, speechless. It was so impactful, it was terrifying. The news made some people's ears ring.

Even a powerful royal ancestor like him felt as if he were facing a vast ocean or an abyss. Just how powerful must this force be? If they did not use the foundation of their clan, and if they did not possess peerless imperial artifacts and supreme array patterns, they would be utterly vulnerable to this group of Great Saints and would be swept away like fallen leaves by the autumn wind.

Tap, tap; Just then, a path naturally parted in the center of the saints, and a familiar yet unfamiliar figure came into everyone's view.

The familiar sight was his attire: purple robes and gold garments, dragon-like eyebrows and a high nose, with long, flowing red hair and a perfect halo hanging behind his head—he was none other than the former Sun King.

The unfamiliarity stems from his cultivation level; he is no longer a half-saint, but has leaped to the fourth level of sainthood!

"The Sun King? No, it should be called the Sun Saint Senior." Someone was stunned, looking dazed, as if in a dream. How long has it been? He became a saint?

The Sun King has become a saint!
An invincible king of divine prohibitions has become a saint, taking a giant step on the path to enlightenment. His invincible aura soars into the sky, awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring. Nothing could be more awe-inspiring than this.

Back then, the Sun King was very powerful, causing chaos in the Big Dipper. When he finally left, he turned the Five Realms upside down. Everyone admitted that he was amazing in cultivation, but in the end, he did not become a saint and could not truly compare with the Ancestral King, who could dominate the rise and fall of the Five Realms.

But things are different now. Once he achieves sainthood, it will be a world-shaking change. He can look down on all the ancestral kings, stand shoulder to shoulder with the saint kings, and directly suppress all the ancestral kings of the myriad races so that they cannot raise their heads. He will dominate the highest tower, resulting in 'no saints under heaven'!
Thinking of this, the ancestral kings turned pale. It had only been three years, and they, these high and mighty figures, had been surpassed and mercilessly left behind.

Once upon a time, they were the seniors, able to give pointers and comment on these promising young talents, sitting comfortably on their laurels.

Now, they have to call him "brother," but in his eyes, he's nothing more than a plaything that can be killed at will.

"Sage! He leaped four levels in one leap! What exactly did he experience in Ziwei? How could he progress so quickly?"

"Now that so many Great Sages have gathered here, what are they planning to do?"

This result shocked everyone. Looking at the ship full of sages, they were all somewhat incredulous. What an enormous force this must be! Before using the ancestral star's resources, no other lineage in the Beidou region could compare.

With the Sun King's ascension to sainthood, his strength is beyond doubt, and he can absolutely dominate the world. The Ziwei Sect has truly experienced a surge in its foundation this time, making the Ancestral Kings present want to leave quickly to report this important news to their clans.

"So many extraterrestrial saints have gathered in the Northern Plains. Let's clean it up. We want this region. Together with the Western Desert, we'll make it our clan's territory."

Wang Hongwu surveyed his surroundings, with saints surrounding him. Suddenly, he reached out and unleashed beams of eternal holy light from the purple-gold ark behind him, traversing the vast northern lands at a speed beyond human imagination. The light flashed for thousands of miles, tearing through the human world.

This is a miracle. Each trajectory is like a chasm, cutting through the sky, dazzlingly bright, covering all directions of the Northern Plains, as if it were enclosing territory. The fluctuations reached the level of a quasi-royal artifact. Even if a great saint from the extraterrestrial realm were to descend, he would not be willing to face its sharp edge directly.

"What is that?" "The Ancient Star of Ziwei?! Are you kidding me? These people actually migrated the entire Ziwei Star here!"

"No wonder there are so many saints. It turns out that Ziwei has migrated to Beidou. This is too crazy. The Western Desert can't contain them all. Do they want to incorporate the Northern Plains into the royal family's territory as well?"

The people of Beiyuan were shocked, for they saw a huge purple star appear, directly covering the regions of Beiyuan and Ximo. Traces of war flames and smoke could still be seen on it, all left behind by an earth-shattering battle.

As Wang Hongwu moved, the Ziwei Ancient Star, which hung high above the two regions, began to undergo drastic changes, actually merging into the Beidou Ancient Star!
Buzz! The Dao traces left by the Sun Holy Emperor and the Moon Human Emperor revived, protecting the planet and allowing it to gradually fall and merge with the land of the Big Dipper, fitting together. In comparison, the size of Ziwei is smaller than that of the Big Dipper, so the land of the two states that appeared only occupied part of the Northern Plains and the Western Desert.

The ancient star of the Big Dipper was also trembling slightly, sensing this great movement, but it did not stop it, because merging with the ancient star of the Purple Star would be of great benefit to it, like a great tonic, and instead it actively accepted it, accelerating the fusion process.

"Those who go west, go north; all shall come under my command!"

Wang Hongwu descended upon Xiniu Hezhou and Beiju Luzhou, their vast expanse imbued with boundless laws, causing a great upheaval in the Western Desert and the Northern Plains.

People from both regions exclaimed in surprise, and then were all jolted into the air, tumbling before landing.

Then, they truly sensed a tremendous change: the Dao descended upon heaven and earth, primordial energy surged forth, and the earth's veins were like dragons, becoming much stronger than before!

This is the fusion of another ancient star that gave birth to two great Dao-proving beings, and the resulting impact is profound enough to change the future.

Moreover, as the Dao streaks across the sky, it is easy to sense that the stars are benefiting and undergoing transformation!
The merger of Xiniu Hezhou into Ximo and Beiju Luzhou into Beiyuan greatly elevated the environment of these two regions, making them surpass Zhongzhou and become new sacred lands for cultivation.

"This... seems to be a blessing upon the world?"

"It can be felt that the Ziwei Sect is more favored by the Beidou Planet, and the Dao Traces are actively protecting and gravitating towards it."

"Back then, the Western Desert was barren land, and the Northern Plains was just a poor and remote area. Unexpectedly, it has now been blessed with tremendous fortune and has become a top-level region in terms of environment!"

Such a huge commotion naturally startled the group of extraterrestrial saints in the Northern Plains, leaving them at a loss. What was the Ziwei Sect trying to do?
The next moment, a grand voice rang out: "From this day forward, our Ziwei Sect will expand its mountain gates and unify the Northern Plains and Western Desert."

what? !

The five regions trembled violently. All the Ancestral Kings and Saints from beyond the regions heard these words and felt a terrifying wave approaching.

The Ziwei Sect has returned with a powerful figure from one region, dominating the Northern Plains and Western Desert, and extending south to the Central Plains. They suppress all races and aim to unify the five major regions.
"Isn't this inappropriate?" "Shh! Don't speak. Those are six Great Saints, not to mention the Divine Organization has one more Great Saint that hasn't been counted. Don't you want to die and go and provoke the Ziwei Sect at this time?"

The ancestral king was furious, feeling that this was too domineering and arrogant, and that no other royal family had ever acted in such a way!
However, they soon discovered, to their dismay, that they didn't even have the right to object; the difference was too great, they weren't even in the same league.

The myriad races were helpless and powerless to refute it, as there was no equal power to engage in dialogue with them, which infuriated them and made them instantly realize the bewilderment and helplessness they felt when the human race first arrived.

Someone tried to ask the Heavenly King Clan to step in and help, but before they could even finish speaking, they were thrown out by the Silver Blood Clan and the First King Clan.

The Heavenly King Clan members cursed them for being out of their minds. Another great Heavenly King Clan that was once on par with them was wiped out by the Ziwei Sect. Now that the sect's strength has greatly increased, they are encouraging them to go and invite trouble.

How can you just throw your life away like that!
Seven Great Saints appeared in the sky, their supreme divine weapons awe-inspiring, and the thoughts of deities were present. This terrifying force directly suffocated all races. If a conflict were to break out, even the royal family would have to back down. "Don't be so reckless. Trying to stop a chariot with your bare hands is no different from courting death. Leaving is better than opposing. At worst, you can choose a new clan territory."

"What crisis? This is clearly a golden opportunity to curry favor and board the warship! We can just join the Ziwei Sect. They won't seize the territory of their affiliated tribes, will they? At most, they'll reduce our numbers a bit."

"Exactly! Which royal family doesn't have affiliated royal families and ordinary clans under its command? We haven't even taken over the Ziwei Sect yet, so it's still fresh in our minds!"

"That's right. The Ziwei Sect now has seven Great Saints, undoubtedly the strongest royal family. Hurry up and join them; the benefits will be immense in the future!"

In just one day, the hundred tribes that survived the war in the Northern Plains made a decision: they all chose to submit to the Ziwei Sect, and not one of them left. They had a clear idea of ​​how to maximize their interests.

This display stunned the visitors from outer space and the tribes of the Eastern Wilderness. They never expected these opportunists to turn their backs so quickly!
However, many other races in the major regions also regretted missing out. This was a great opportunity to join the Royal Alliance, and now they had missed it. Who knows how many years it would be before they could have such a good opportunity again?

"Alas, circumstances are beyond our control. Although we come from beyond the realm, we cannot defy the local authorities. We should pay a visit to the Ziwei Sect."

Meanwhile, some of the saints from beyond the realm who had gathered in Beiyuan were quite open-minded. They prepared some gifts and came to visit the location of the Ark.

They subtly expressed their idea of ​​establishing a base in Beiyuan to spread their heritage. Wang Hongwu naturally granted permission to those who understood the situation.

But as the saying goes, "a large forest has all kinds of birds," and among the powerful beings from beyond the realm who have descended in recent years, there are quite a few troublemakers who, believing themselves to be Great Saints and deserving of respect, continue to lord it over the essence of the Northern Plains.

On that very day, the Great Sage vanished without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the world. The Ziwei Sect easily took over his territory.

This served as a deterrent to everyone, even powerful figures from beyond the realm trembled with fear, and within the Ziwei Sect's sphere of influence, they all kept their tails between their legs.

Under the watchful eyes of the people of the Five Domains, the Ziwei Sect swept through the Northern Plains in just one day, firmly bringing the two domains under its control and constructing a terrifying territory as the largest power in the Big Dipper.

The Ziwei royal family, with Zhongzhou as its core, swallowed up the two major regions of Beiyuan and Ximo, and brought with them five major forces: Taiyin Sect, Taiyang Sect, Renwang Palace, Changsheng Temple and Guanghan Palace, which were fully integrated into the sect. It can be said that this great sect is now the epitome and collection of the Ziwei forces.

Among all the royal families, it is openly the most powerful force, causing a sense of oppression in the hearts of countless people.

Meanwhile, in Zhongzhou, everyone had returned to the mountain gate and the entire sect was celebrating.

"It seems it's time for me to lay down my burden and hand over the Ziwei Sect to you." Xuan Yin Dasheng sighed, standing beside Wang Hongwu, gazing at the now glorious mountain gate, both of them somewhat dazed.

Compared to the loneliness I felt when I was first born, the complexity of my feelings is indescribable, as if I have lived through thousands of years of drastic changes.

"The Master of Ziwei Sect? He truly deserves the title now." Wang Hongwu smiled. He was about to take over the position of a major sect of the royal family. The saints behind him did not object. Instead, they all nodded in agreement. In terms of merit, the Sun God Lord was more than capable. In terms of strength, he had swept across two generations. He was suitable no matter what and would lead them to glory.

The Great Sage Xuan Yin smiled and clapped his hands, saying, "In that case, let's hold the enthronement ceremony soon so that we can announce this joyous occasion to the world."

"Since it's a grand ceremony, let's hold it together with the All Races Conference to determine the future格局 of the Big Dipper. This time, our Ziwei Sect will take the lead and send invitations to other royal families. Let's hold it together." Wang Hongwu's eyes flashed. He wanted to take this opportunity to divide the country into five regions, swallow up all races, and completely establish the dominant position of the human race.

Thinking of this, he looked towards the direction of Ancient Emperor Mountain. The Heavenly Empress is in the world now. He will fight her this time and determine who is superior.

This battle will obviously break out along with the convening of the All Races Conference.

"Understood!" The saints accepted the order and went out to prepare for the upcoming All Races Conference. They planned to build a new city in Zhongzhou as the venue for the conference, and perhaps this city would become an important chapter in history.

"Please, Holy Emperor, help me relocate the Fire Domain to Ziwei." Following this, Wang Hongwu approached the Holy Emperor's divine consciousness, which had recovered within the Sun Emperor Tower, and together they descended upon the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness.

Gazing at the magnificent ancient land below, the Holy Emperor closed his eyes, communicated with the immortal fire for a while, and then began to sever the heavens and earth. With a sweep of his five fingers, he scooped up the entire divine land, and then blew out a breath. Suddenly, desolate stars fell from the sky, filling the missing places and restoring the landscape.

With a snap of his fingers, he moved the entire Sunset Ridge into the Ziwei Sect, turning it into a major secret realm.

“Senior, I intend to emulate the Boundless Heavenly Venerable and study the power of incense and vows to help you endure.” After completing this task, Wang Hongwu made a suggestion, wanting to use the power of faith to stabilize the divine will and help it be preserved.

Saint Emperor Nian initially wanted to refuse, but considering the differences and hidden dangers of this world, he finally nodded. He then took out the human skin left behind by the Sun Saint Emperor, merged with it, and entered the Fire Domain. Nourished by the immortal fire, his strength recovered considerably after this replenishment. Even without consuming the human skin or summoning the Dao Fruit of his previous life, he was able to suppress those who were about to achieve Dao.

With such a prominent figure in charge, the Ziwei Sect became increasingly stable.

Finally, the night passed, dawn broke, and a ray of light rose from the east, shining into the Big Dipper.

The crimson sun bursts forth with brilliant light, mist swirls around the earth, and fresh air rushes in. The mountain mists, bathed in the glow of the sunset, are a kaleidoscope of colors, rising and swirling, creating a peaceful and beautiful scene.

However, on such a vibrant morning, the hearts of all living beings were heavy. What was bound to happen was finally about to happen. The Ziwei Sect had caused a huge commotion, and the people they had been waiting for, who had been sent to the outer heavens to gather information, had finally returned.

"The message from the stars has come back!" someone shouted, appearing in Tianfang and immediately attracting countless eyes.

"On the Purple Star, the Sun King attained sainthood with the power of the Fusang Immortal Tree and the Laurel Divine Tree, traversing the four heavens, slaying the Underworld's Prison Guardian, killing the Holy King, and annihilating the Golden Crow Clan, invincible in every way!"

"Hiss, Ziwei Star has actually become the front line in the battle against the Underworld? The four seas are empty, two states are destroyed, and billions of lives have been sacrificed, leaving only 60 million? This is too tragic."

"No wonder! The retribution of the underworld is too terrifying, capable of sustaining one great war after another. Ziwei Star simply cannot withstand it. The best solution is to migrate to Beidou and coexist with all races!"

"This has both advantages and disadvantages for us, since our common enemy is the Underworld; but the rise of the Ziwei Papal Clan is inevitable, and they truly have the potential to rule the world. Who can stop them?"

"Unless the royal families bring back their ancestral stars and the Phoenix Nest returns to the Ancient Emperor Mountain, there will be no enemy in the world."

People discussed it intensely, and were all shocked after learning what had happened to Ziwei. It was too terrifying. In the battle in the underworld, an ancient life star was crippled, and that was with the divine thoughts of two human emperors guarding it! If it was damaged like that, how could the other ancient life star regions withstand it?

"I wonder how those royal families will react after receiving the news?" Gradually, they couldn't help but turn their attention to the various royal families.

How will these ancient rulers of the Big Dipper react to the aggressive expansion of the Ziwei Sect?

Inside the Fire Kirin Cave, Fire Kirin, having received the news, remained silent, his blue eyes gazing towards the Central Plains, lost in thought.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in his vision. Huo Lin'er had returned, seemingly holding something in her hand. Huo Qizi withdrew his gaze and asked with a strange expression, "You went to the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest again?"

“Not bad, but I didn’t expect that woman to actually have some strength.” Huo Lin’er nodded, her eyes flashing sharply before she smiled and tossed the purple strand of hair in her hand, saying, “Although she hurt me a bit, she wasn’t exactly comfortable either.”

"The Ziwei Sect is back." After a long while, Huo Qizi spoke, but Huo Lin'er was still smiling and said indifferently, "What does it have to do with us? We don't antagonize the Ziwei Sect, and we have a good relationship with Wanlong Nest. Let them do whatever they want. They can't possibly expand to the Eastern Wilderness. At most, they'll target the Southern Ridge."

Hearing his sister's words, Huo Qizi's brows relaxed, and he stopped worrying.

Inside the Golden Cave, the Golden King looked somewhat worried and couldn't help but sigh, "Youying Clan, Kunzhou, Dique, you have caused me so much suffering!"

As the current head of the royal family, he was quite helpless, because the Golden Cave had previously supported the Youying Clan and helped Kunzhou and Dique. However, these guys later defected to the Eight Divine Descendants and then recklessly attacked the Ziwei Sect, resulting in the destruction of the Heavenly King Clan.

Now, the Ziwei Sect has returned in force, with six Great Saints appearing out of nowhere, which has startled him so much that his scalp tingles and he doesn't know what to do. If this is investigated, although it has nothing to do with them, it is still not a good thing.

Thinking of this, the Golden King couldn't help but rub his temples and ask, "Where is Her Highness the Princess?"

"Her Highness the Princess has gone to the Dragon Nest again and hasn't returned yet," an elder nearby replied, silencing the entire cave once more.

well! ! !
The Golden King's face grew increasingly distressed. What terrible things had he done?
Inside the Dragon Nest, however, thunderous roars echoed incessantly as two graceful figures crisscrossed each other, unleashing domineering attacks. Purple and golden light shot across thousands of miles, illuminating the heavens and the earth.

Wang Hongwu crossed his arms and watched the scene with great interest; the two fighting were none other than the Dragon Girl and the Golden Heavenly Maiden.

"Your Highness, what about the Ziwei Sect?" King Qiankang stepped forward, seemingly troubled, but Wang Hongwu smiled and waved his hand, "This is not a problem. It will not harm our interests. We also owe them a debt of gratitude for helping them last time. We will strengthen our alliance in the future."

"Let's do as Your Highness wishes." Wanlong Dasheng and Qianlun Tianwang appeared with faint smiles on their faces. The stronger the Ziwei Sect was, the greater the benefits for their alliance. Since there was no conflict of interest between the two sides, they naturally didn't hesitate.

In the primeval lake, however, there was a scene of jubilation. Yuan Gu learned of the return of the Ziwei Sect and the addition of five new Great Sages, and felt that the sun was brighter than ever before.

"Ziwei is great! We'll see when the time comes. We can join forces with the Ziwei Sect to enter the starry sky and settle accounts with those Holy Spirits in the Holy Domain!" He pondered, already having many ideas. Just then, a pillar of light suddenly shot up from the depths of the Primordial Lake, surging with an aura surpassing that of a Heavenly King.

"Yuan Guang Tian Wang has broken through to the Great Sage level!"

With a gasp, the entire primeval lake came alive again, as the Ziwei Sect Alliance gained another powerful figure.

Within Blood Phoenix Mountain, all was quiet, until a few ripples suddenly appeared, conveying only one message: "Do not provoke the Ziwei Sect."

Within the Divine Silkworm Ridge, the former Great Sage issued a decree: "Let the princess marry that Fighting Saint King as soon as possible. Also, send someone to prepare some gifts to the Purple Star Sect. The disciple of the Sun King, isn't that Human King Body a descendant of my clan who is close to you? Go and match them up."

At the same time, beyond the Big Dipper, a majestic shadow appeared, slowly descending towards the northern wilderness of the east.

It was like a mountain range, with towering black mountains, each one a king among mountains, an emperor among peaks, each one majestic and imposing.

At the very center stands an ancient stele inscribed with the words: Immortal Mountain!
