The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 159: Killing the Great Sage in Succession to Cross to the Other Shore, the Divine Lord Displays His Power and the Formation Diagram Appears

The Sun Emperor Tower has appeared, overwhelming the Great Sage and causing chaos in the Nine Heavens.

The golden-red ripples emerged, surging countless times, radiating supreme divine power, causing the entire starry sky to tremble.

Wang Hongwu stood beneath the divine tower, coldly looking down at the two Great Sages. Chaotic energy emanated from the tower, with countless galaxies flowing around it, forcing everyone present to prostrate themselves, unable to resist.

"That's the artifact used by the former Sun Emperor to prove his Dao!" Everyone gasped. This was an ultimate divine weapon, capable of swallowing the universe and melting all things in the world! Just the sheer power of it made even a Great Sage kneel down.

"How can someone be training on the ancient road with a royal weapon? Who can touch him? I've never heard of such a thing before!"

"Generally speaking, only ancient royal heirs would do this, but they went to the Princes' Battlefield, not the Mythical Ancient Road, right?"

"Didn't the Kunlun remnants and the Light Clan also do it? There's nothing more to say. Background is also part of strength. Let's just watch and see."

Strands of supreme divine power emanated from the area, sending chills down the spines of those around. Many collapsed to the ground, unable to resist. They found it unbelievable; this was the first time they had ever seen someone bring supreme divine weapons to challenge the ancient mythical road. It was truly domineering.

At this moment, the two Great Sages changed color and were truly frightened. Despite being Great Sages and standing among the strongest on the ancient road, they were still afraid in the face of the ultimate divine weapon, which was understandable.

The Celestial Venerables and Ancient Emperors were all invincible; their weapons contained their spiritual will and their invincible Dao. Outsiders simply could not contend with them.

"Wait! There's a misunderstanding, young friend..." the Winged Great Sage shouted, trying to buy time. He was filled with regret, never imagining that a Saint King could endanger a Great Sage like him.

However, Wang Hongwu ignored him and attacked directly. The Sun Emperor Tower swept out a beam of fire, like a fire phoenix spreading its wings and a red dragon wagging its tail, splitting the thirty-three heavens. The Winged Great Saint's head rolled off, blood gushed out, and his body only trembled a few times before suddenly exploding. His head also turned into bloody mud with a "poof", and his primordial spirit was also reduced to ashes.

With a single blow, the Great Sage perished. It was thought that his primordial spirit would escape, but unexpectedly, both his body and soul were destroyed.

"The Great Sage has fallen!" Everyone trembled at the sight. One strike and he was dead. This was the ultimate divine weapon! This was the unparalleled majesty of the emperor!

Even the Great Sage would tremble before him.

"Holy Lord, I'm willing to buy my life! I can buy my life, even if it means becoming your protector, no, your follower!" Having witnessed the fall of his companions, the Heavenly Ghost Great Sage was terrified and had abandoned everything to save his own life.

He finally became a Great Sage after so many years of hardship, and he still hasn't had enough fun. He still has so many years of comfort ahead of him, so why should he stubbornly endure it?

"You're not even qualified to pull my cart." Wang Hongwu scoffed. The Slaughtering Beast King hadn't gone up the ancient road, otherwise he could have torn this kind of trash apart with one hand. The Emperor Tower in his hand once again shot out a streak of fire, directly hitting the Heavenly Ghost Great Sage, who was covered in blood and flew sideways like a scarecrow. His primordial spirit shattered and his physical body was directly burned.

Thus, both great saints perished.

"Dead! Another Great Sage is dead!" "How ruthless! Two Great Sages were directly killed!"

Everyone was terrified, goosebumps forming all over their bodies. They trembled and retreated, not knowing what to do. Many of them almost collapsed to the ground.

That was the founder of a sect, high above all others, looking down upon all saints and all living beings, capable of bringing glory to his clan. Yet, in the face of the might of the ultimate Dao, he was as fragile as paper, utterly destroyed.

"They're courting death." Wang Hongwu casually trampled over their corpses, collected their essence with the sacrificial bowl, and then took out their remaining possessions. Apart from the things destroyed by the Supreme Divine Might, there were three medicinal kings and a radiant ball of light on the body of the Heavenly Ghost Great Sage.

He had obtained this item before and used it to repair the Immortal-Slaying Gourd. It was a deity specifically cultivated to repair divine weapons, and it had no independent will of its own. Anyone who obtained it could use it.

No wonder... As soon as Wang Hongwu saw this weapon spirit, he understood why the Great Sage of the Heavenly Ghost Clan was so eager for the Extreme Dao Fragment on his body. This thing is used to repair ancient weapons that have lost their weapon spirits. The weapon spirit of the Heavenly Venerable Eight Trigrams Furnace died, leaving only the weapon body. Once he obtains it and integrates it with the weapon spirit, it will naturally become a great protective treasure.

One piece of the Great Sage was killed by the sword stone, another piece was killed by the aftershocks of the four swords of the Spirit Treasure, plus the piece he had in his own hand and the one he had just acquired, making a total of four pieces, which made up half of the total. Together with the weapon spirit he had just obtained, they were embedded into the Eastern Emperor Bell.

Clang! The purple-gold bell rippled with countless waves, directly blasting everyone in the arena away. The waves of the Bitter Sea surged for millions of miles. This primordial spirit weapon, crafted from divine purple-gold, roared and was instantly sublimated. If it weren't for the support of the immortal gold material and the secret of character formation, the bell would have collapsed and could not withstand the fusion of the fragments. But now, with the assistance of the weapon spirit, it has stabilized, and the weapon spirit has also been reborn.

Now, the power of the Eastern Emperor Bell has greatly increased. Once it is unleashed, it will far surpass that of a quasi-emperor weapon and be invincible.

"Wang Hongwu!" Just then, a roar full of hatred came from the distance, and the world was suddenly filled with lightning and thunder, as if gods and demons were crying out.

The Great Sage of Kunlun arrived, wielding the Supreme Artifact. His hair and beard bristled with rage. Upon seeing the Holy Venerable, he was driven mad, his mind filled with only one thought: revenge!

Behind him were two Great Saints who had been brought in to help. They were originally Beast Kings from the Ancient Hunting Zone. They were recruited by him because their bloodlines were somewhat similar to those of the four Kunlun tribes. After learning of the strength of this lineage, they were tempted to join the ranks of the remnant race.

The next moment, a deafening roar erupted as the Taotie Supreme Artifact trembled, its murderous aura intense, shaking the heavens and the earth. Rolling demonic energy, like smoke from a wolf's beacon, or like thousands upon thousands of silver rivers falling down, boundless and rampant in all directions, caused Wang Hongwu to frown slightly. He immediately took the stone token and, together with the Sun Emperor Tower controlled by his true form, launched a counterattack towards the sky.

Clang! The three artifacts collided simultaneously, and the place shattered in an instant. Nothing could withstand the ultimate divine power of the attack. Chaotic lightning danced, terrifying to the extreme.

"Run! Run! Run!" The surrounding creatures fled at top speed, not daring to linger, for fear that if they stayed even a second longer, they would be blasted into dust.

With a deafening roar, the entire universe trembled under the impact of the single strike. Many stars above were shattered, and the waves of the Bitter Sea surged skyward, crashing into the depths of the universe.

Spurred by this, the four swords also erupted, their imposing presence brooking no challenge. With a resounding clang, they directly cleaved the two divine weapons, once again unleashing a massive clash of ultimate techniques.

As these divine weapons clashed, the wielders all coughed up blood and were injured. The world underwent a dramatic change, the sea of ​​suffering was vast, and many life springs gushed forth, stimulating their revival!

All the divine liquid from the nine springs flew out, joined together, and formed a divine bridge to the heavens, disappearing into the other side of the gods.

"The initial calculations were indeed correct."

"I never expected that it would take a clash of extreme powers to revive the Sea of ​​Bitterness. No wonder we failed so many times before. Only when we clashed with the Four Swords did the Life Spring slightly surge. It's a pity we ignored it and wasted so much time!"

The saints who had been watching from afar were immediately excited again, for they had finally seen the path to the other side and would no longer be trapped here.

In an instant, the waves surged skyward. The construction process of the divine bridge was so terrifying that it directly blew everyone away. The heroes exerted all their strength to fly up and stand on the dazzling and boundless divine bridge.

"Elder!" At this moment, the three Holy Kings of the remnant race appeared from behind and shouted. They had already ascended the divine bridge to welcome the Great Sage back.

"Hmph!" Wang Hongwu snorted coldly and unleashed a Dao wave from the Emperor Tower, intending to destroy them all. "You dare!" Kunlun Great Sage was immediately enraged and used his Supreme Artifact to intercept the Dao wave, shattering it. However, at that moment, a divine pot suddenly flew out and poured out the water of the Heavenly Venerable's Bitter Sea.

With a whoosh, even though the three Great Sages activated their laws to protect themselves, they were still drenched in water and instantly lost all their power and divine abilities. They fell from the sky with miserable cries like ordinary mortals. The Flying Tiger Beast King crashed directly into the Sea of ​​Bitterness. The monstrous waves swept through and shattered his physical body into mud. His primordial spirit had just escaped when he was attacked again by Dao Wo, who was holding the Stone Token. The Supreme Artifact unleashed its power, slashing and hacking, shattering his primordial spirit as well, killing him on the spot.

The remaining two Great Sages also changed color in shock. If it weren't for the Supreme Artifact protecting them in time, they would have almost fallen to their deaths on the spot!

However, Wang Hongwu did not let go of this good opportunity. He used the Stone Token and the Emperor Tower to entangle the Supreme Artifact and directly manipulated the Eastern Emperor Bell to shake it. Layers of bell waves surged and directly impacted them, shattering their physical bodies. At the critical moment, the Kunlun Great Sage obtained the Extreme Dao fragment from the fallen Great Sage in the Underworld, which burst out and protected their primordial spirits as they escaped. The three Holy Kings of the remnant clans on the Rainbow Bridge in the distance immediately changed their expressions and decisively took action to summon the Quasi-Emperor Array Flag for protection.

The remaining waves surged forward, shattering the array flags and even affecting them; Ah! Qiongqi Saint King and Taotie Saint King screamed in agony, the two young supreme beings who emerged from their headquarters perished in the aftershocks! The only remaining Zhulong King also had his body explode, almost crippled.

No! Two seeds died in succession. The Great Sage of Kunlun's eyes were bloodshot with rage and hatred. This was as if he had single-handedly destroyed the two great hopes for the future of their surviving race!

Unfortunately, he could only watch helplessly. Under the protection of the Supreme Artifact, his primordial spirit hurriedly arrived at the Divine Bridge, leading them away and decisively abandoning the Golden Toad Beast King who was traveling with him.

But as he left, the fragment on his body was naturally discarded. Wang Hongwu flicked his sleeve and put it into his pocket, so he now had five Extreme Dao fragments.

"Fellow Daoist? Didn't we agree to advance and retreat together and revitalize Kunlun?" The Golden Toad Beast King never expected this outcome. He had no chance of escape and was caught by Wang Hongwu, who directly suppressed and killed him with an ultimate divine weapon.

The bloody scene of killing four Great Sages shocked everyone, and a large group of people kept their distance, not daring to approach.

"This is insane! Today, the supreme power has been displayed, even Great Saints have fallen!" "Nonsense, that's a supreme divine weapon. Unless a Quasi-Emperor is present, any Great Saint would die."

The crowd dispersed, not daring to provoke them, and all sought an opportunity to cross the bridge.

On the other side, the Heavenly Princess appeared, also occupying a section of the divine bridge, and opened a passage to guide Wang Hongwu, bringing him to her side.

"The Kunlun remnants, we must settle accounts with them once we reach the other shore!" The Heavenly Empress's gaze was cold, having suffered some losses at the hands of the Great Sage; Wang Hongwu also nodded, preparing to kill them after descending to the other shore, and then find an opportunity to slaughter the Great Sage of that clan.

Boom! As the divine bridge slammed forward, the void gate opened wide, revealing another world—the burial site of the Heavenly Venerable Array Diagram. They were approaching the true other side of the gods.

Looking down from the Divine Bridge, one can see a continent of the Five Elements. Upon closer inspection, people discover that these continents are exactly like the five internal organs of the human body, only vast and boundless.

So this is the dwelling place of the gods! Many people realized something and understood that the so-called gods could be the deities conceived within the Dao Palace of the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao. The five gods of the five internal organs of the human body must refer to them.

As they approached the divine bridge, people saw the scene and understood the layout. A large star hung between the five elements, nourished by them and full of vitality.

It truly is an ancient star inhabited by life, and it is incredibly vast. One can imagine that there are powerful creatures on it, because people could sense a powerful Dao aura from a great distance. Perhaps even a quasi-emperor once lived there.

Swish!
As the divine bridge descended, everyone scattered to various corners of the planet.

Wang Hongwu and the Empress Dowager plunged straight into the heart of the planet, landing outside a mountain range.

The two looked around and, finding no other companions, used their divine sense avatars to scout out the area, obtaining information from some sacred beasts dwelling nearby.

This is an ancient source of life, named "The Other Shore". The central divine realm is the dwelling place of the gods and the land of immortality. The current gods, elders, and sons of the divine realm are all there.

The mountains they were near also had a significant history; they were the battlefields of the gods in ancient times, born in the age of mythology. Each mountain peak was a burial ground for the gods, and the most tragic battles took place here during the mythological era. It is said that even the ancient celestial beings participated in them.

"The Burial Ground of the Gods? I sensed the aura of divine and demonic bloodlines; they must be at least quasi-emperors." The Empress closed her eyes to sense it for a moment, then looked at the mountain range in astonishment. The peaks stood like statues of gods, existing since ancient times. The mountain range resembled a coiled dragon, stretching across east and west, while the cliffs resembled a golden roc spreading its wings, soaring straight up into the sea of ​​clouds. The hills resembled a black tortoise lying dormant, stable and profound.

There are extraordinary places in the mountains, places that rival the wonders of heaven and earth, but the killing formation of the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao is arranged here, and even gods who enter will die.

After exploring the area for nearly a year, the two finally witnessed a change. On this day, the mountains and valleys resonated with a peaceful light, and every peak was filled with auspicious energy.

The surrounding innate divine essence surged like water, all the mountain peaks trembled, it was incomparably sacred, the sky was filled with flying rosy light, and cracks appeared on every mountain body, inside which was bright red blood, and huge bones, which were supporting the mountain body.

The sheer number of divine remains piled up speaks volumes about the brutality of the ancient war between the gods. It even led Wang Hongwu to suspect that the remains were moved from the outside world, rather than being the result of the war between the gods within the divine realm.

After the strange phenomenon occurred, a refreshing and pleasant fragrance wafted by, making people feel light and healthy, as if they were about to float away, and they were completely immersed in it.

As the entire mountain trembled, drops of mysterious liquid, crystal clear, oozed from the crevices. They slid down the mountainside and fell to the foot of the mountain, forming puddles, like a piece of celestial dew.

The two understood that the blood and bones of the gods were buried here, and the flesh contained immortal essence. Combined with the terrain, it formed an immortal cellar, where divine and demonic liquid would be born every once in a while. After accumulating to a certain level, it would gush out.

"We've actually encountered some good fortune." Wang Hongwu directly took action to collect all the divine and demonic liquid that had flowed out this time, putting it into the salvation pot left behind by Lingbao Tianzun.

These, along with the Celestial Life Spring Elixir they had previously collected, were enough for their cultivation within the Saint King's Domain, saving them most of their time.

Instead of leaving immediately, they stayed to absorb the divine and demonic liquid, cultivate, and comprehend the divine and demonic Dao patterns engraved in the mountains to complete themselves.

Another year passed, and the effects of the Divine Demon Liquid were fully refined. The two broke through one after the other. Wang Hongwu broke through the tribulation and crossed two heavens. After consolidating their strength, they bypassed this ancient land and entered the main area of ​​the Divine Realm. They saw various races they had never heard of before and set foot in several huge ancient cities, each with a Great Sage-level figure in charge.

There are a lot of experts here, even an uncanny number of them, but their actual combat strength is not as good as that of the Great Sage who fought in the outside world. They seem to have attained enlightenment through faith and willpower.

"The breakthroughs of these people all relied on the power of faith to some extent. Although the results were quick and numerous, their strength was inferior to that of Great Saints born normally in the outside world. It gave me a sense of a natural flaw that was artificially set up. It's strange." The Empress felt increasingly uneasy, as if someone had drawn a circle around this place and imprisoned it. It seemed prosperous, but in reality, it had fixed its upper limit.

“The entire Divine Realm relies on the power of faith for cultivation. Perhaps it is Lingbao Tianzun’s testing ground for the path of willpower.” Wang Hongwu nodded in agreement. Even the vast Divine Realm has a fatal nemesis. Once encountered, everyone from the power of faith to all living beings will perish. That is the Corpse Fiend that is born from the corpse of a Dao Prover.

The Emperor's aura of evil was not left behind by the Sun Emperor, but the half of the body left in the human world by the Moon Emperor should have been present.

During their journey through various cities, they also discovered that the attitudes of the beings from the other side towards outsiders were constantly changing.

Because many people, confident in their superior strength, frequently engage in robbery and killing here, it has caused enormous conflicts. Some Great Saints have even turned the heavens upside down, all in search of spiritual treasure array diagrams and traces of inheritances, treating the creatures here as less than human.

In the eyes of the saints outside, the creatures here are frogs in a well, just a group of natives of the world, far from being worthy of comparison with them.

Especially after the Great Saint of the Light Clan easily killed a Great Saint from the Divine Realm, the Saints became increasingly arrogant, feeling that these guys who relied on external forces and faith to cultivate were not worthy of being compared to them, and that they could be directly suppressed if they were of the same level.

Amidst such conflicts, blood splattered on this ancient planet of life, and fierce battles frequently broke out. Gradually, the natives developed a special method for identification. Each race worshipped gods and the divine realm, and each possessed a divine mark that emitted a brilliant holy radiance when activated. Outsiders, however, did not have this mark, and the natives used this method to identify and capture them.

"The power of faith, the ruler of the divine realm is collecting pure spiritual energy. Does he really want to live forever? Several powerful figures in history have done this before, and they were all extraordinary figures!"

Someone noticed something amiss and spread the word, immediately putting the arriving Star Saints on high alert.

Soon, shocking news arrived: the Great Sage of Light and the Great Sage of Kunlun had joined forces, using their two divine weapons to rally all the saints to attack the Divine Realm and seize the Heavenly Venerable's inheritance and divine weapons.

Under their recruitment, the other eight Great Saint Beast Kings of the Ancient Hunting Zone soon joined them. The experts from the deep universe also assessed the situation and followed them. Within a year, the alliance's momentum grew stronger and stronger, and they actually broke through many places in the Divine Realm, seizing the legendary Divine Demon Liquid and many other fortunes.

They even killed three of the attacking elders, thoroughly enraging the divine realm.

On that day, the divine realm trembled violently, and an ancient and vast divine thought swept across the six directions and eight wastelands, rushing towards various places on the other side!
An aura of supreme holiness and divinity flowed forth, inspiring awe in everyone.

"miracle!"

"God has manifested in the world!"

The supreme ruler of the divine realm reigns supreme over all, and all races bow down in awe and fear.

"This power surpasses that of a Great Sage! Could there truly be a Quasi-Emperor here?" This immense power of faith terrified the Great Sages who had descended upon this place. They suspected that there might be a Quasi-Emperor in the Divine Realm, or at least someone very close to it.

The most terrifying thing is that, faced with the outbreak of the Kunlun Supreme Artifact and the Ancient Emperor Weapon of the Light Clan, the God Realm Overlord also summoned the legendary Supreme Artifact, which could fight against the two!

All the saints watched with bated breath. The supreme artifact of the divine realm was actually an array diagram, and the runes on it were of the same origin as the four killing swords in the Heavenly Venerable's Life Spring.

"It's the array diagram of Lingbao Tianzun!" Everyone was shocked. If they had this treasure, they could obtain four killing swords in the future, which would make them invincible when combined.

"The array diagram is not easy to obtain, but this great battle is a good opportunity to eliminate those enemies." Wang Hongwu's expression shifted slightly as he made his decision, and he looked at the divine diagram floating above the divine realm.

It slowly rotated, its imposing presence seemingly capable of shattering all stars and realms, with chaotic mists rising up, terrifying beyond measure.

The array diagram and the four swords have appeared, but what about Lingbao Tianzun, whose fate remains unknown?
