The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 186 Total Annihilation, Divine Generals Fall in Succession

Four quasi-emperors attacked Ziwei, the Holy Venerable returned, shattered divine weapons with his fists, and killed the quasi-emperors with earth-shattering power.

No one expected that a two-hundred-year-old quasi-emperor would be born like this, and would bring boundless power to fight against three veteran powerhouses.

These three are all legendary figures; some were the Eight Divine Generals who followed the Lord of the Undying Mountain in the past; others were the Deputy Lords of the Underworld Yama Palace; all of them have illustrious status and extraordinary combat power!

But now, they can hardly tolerate it. A junior who has just entered the Quasi-Emperor realm is going to sweep them away. It's simply a fantasy.

"Come! I will kill you all by myself!" Wang Hongwu reached the peak of his combat power. Fourteen layers of forbidden lightning burst forth around his body, and the Daoist charm of the forbidden domain was magnificent and overwhelming, spanning millions of light-years. This immediately caused the three quasi-emperors opposite him to shrink their pupils and show surprise.

It should be understood that even those who are about to attain enlightenment cannot trigger divine restrictions at will, let alone ordinary quasi-emperors. Although they may have touched them, triggering them at will is a world of difference. As for forbidden domains, such a luxury is even more so. Apart from princes who possess their fathers' scriptures and can display them upon entering, their numbers only gradually increase among high-level quasi-emperors. They are by no means commonplace, and even the most prosperous Golden Age did not have such a thing.

"Youngster, what tricks are you playing!" Kun Tian God General roared, with the sun, moon, stars and rivers swirling between his hands. He had excavated a piece of the real universe, transformed it into the center of his palm, and then slammed it down. He was using the power of the great universe to suppress the Holy Venerable and seal him away for eternity.

The heroes in the distance all witnessed this scene, and their hair stood on end and their backs felt cold. How could this be so heaven-defying? Those who had followed the Undying Emperor were indeed extraordinary; even with their cultivation fallen, they were still so terrifying.

"Nonsense!" Wang Hongwu suddenly attacked, unleashing the Sun Emperor Fist once more, bursting forth with forbidden power, shattering this universe. The boiling light and heat condensed into countless Great Sun Worlds and gods, exploding directly shattering the universe in his palm. Kun Tian Divine General's move was broken, somewhat surprised. Could it be that his cultivation had fallen so much?
"I'll do it!" the Vice Lord of the Underworld roared, transforming into a black mist that spread outwards, blotting out the sun and engulfing the universe. Within it, he continuously unleashed forbidden techniques, shooting out beams of evil light like blooming flowers of the underworld, dazzling for a fleeting moment. Wang Hongwu raised his fist and blasted it, tearing through the black mist and shattering the evil light, causing it to dim and vanish forever.

Then, he opened his mouth and roared, unleashing the Heavenly Sound of Ten Thousand Dragons. Three thousand layers of purple sound waves pushed aside the black mist, forcefully sending the Vice Hall Master flying backward, coughing up blood. The shock made his whole body weak and his primordial spirit numb. He was so stunned by the impact that he was somewhat bewildered and could hardly believe this terrible fact.

"How can a junior possess such power?" The Moon God General was incredulous. A celestial moon spun behind him as he charged forward like a god or demon. Countless silver rays swept across his palms, a strike powerful enough to destroy a supercluster of stars, yet Wang Hongwu blocked it with a single hand. Then, with a backhand strike, the Taiyin Mother Scripture erupted, its terrifying, extremely cold and yin power transforming into a pale moon that crashed down, obliterating the endless silver rays and forcing the Moon God General to retreat, his face showing astonishment.

How could his understanding of Tao compare to that of the Taiyin Emperor?

Kill! In the next moment, the three quasi-emperors realized the seriousness of the situation. They abandoned their so-called martial virtue and dignity and joined forces to kill Wang Hongwu. Instantly, golden lightning danced and spread to all directions of the universe. The starry sky was blurred by the shock and chaotic energy overflowed, engulfing everything in sight.

However, even with the siege, they failed to gain the advantage they wanted and were instead blocked. Wang Hongwu fought them all alone, which made the three of them feel incredible. How could this junior be so terrifying?
Is he really a novice in this field? How can he be so incredibly talented!

They didn't understand, they couldn't believe it, and even the unwavering Dao heart honed through countless battles was shaken.

"So strong, truly defying the heavens! How could the Holy Venerable possess such combat power?" "Is it also because the cultivation levels of the two great generals have fallen to the middle stage?"

"My god, the Divine Forbidden Domain has been pushed to the fourteenth level against the heavens. Theoretically speaking, it can indeed compete with a normal Quasi-Emperor of the seventh level."

"No wonder he's called the King of Divine Restrictions; such a Dao Fruit is terrifying!"

The world was shocked, and all living beings who witnessed this battle were horrified.

Who would have thought that the three villains, who fought against the Holy Venerable, would all be blocked?
Those were three veteran quasi-emperors, with extraordinary combat power. The two divine generals, after all, had many methods and foundations, and were not necessarily inferior to high-level powerhouses. As a result, they were blocked and could not show their power. Instead, the other person appeared even more terrifying and heaven-defying.

The mighty Eight Generals and the Deputy Lord of the Yama Palace, whose prestige spanned a lifetime, have now become mere decorations for the Holy Venerable, to be trampled underfoot!

How can this be acceptable?

Enraged, Kun Tian ordered the two to restrain him while he charged forward alone, unleashing powerful and sweeping attacks to clash head-on with Wang Hongwu. Blood splattered, the laws of the Great Dao roared, and the world shattered completely.

The boiling true blood of the sun was burning, which surprised the deputy hall master of Yama. It was no longer the same as the Sun Saint Emperor. It was not golden red, but purple red, reaching another realm. There were also four immortal spirit phantoms surrounding it. The true dragon split the nine heavens, the qilin suppressed the eight extremes, the kunpeng fell into the universe, and the thunder emperor held the heavenly punishment!

This is no longer the path of the Sun Blood, but another direction, incorporating fragments of the laws of the True Dragon, Qilin, Kunpeng, and Thunder Emperor, transforming to the extreme.

Kun Tian had followed the Lord of the Undying Mountain and fought his entire life. He had received guidance and instruction from him, and his experience was unmatched by most in the world. However, he was surprised to find that he could not suppress his opponent. In fact, when the immortal blood erupted, Wang Hongwu's iron fist directly shattered Kun Tian's fist, leaving him bloodied and injured.

"Bathed in the Emperor's blood and tempered by the Lord, his fist was injured and couldn't withstand his punch. Has his entire body been baptized by immortal blood?!" This made Kun Tian's heart pound wildly. He himself had his fist baptized with one type of immortal blood, but this person had his entire body baptized with four types of immortal blood! How could they compare?
He knew this battle was destined to be tough, as he was facing a mythical, invincible powerhouse, but he himself was not at his peak and was likely to run into trouble.

Wang Hongwu was also somewhat surprised. This guy was really tough, but he hadn't even revealed his ultimate battle body yet. He swept his hands out in a gesture of respect, and suddenly a Yin-Yang Dao Diagram was generated, merging with the chaos and sending all three of them flying.

"Supreme divine blood, boil!" Kun Tian said fiercely, using forbidden methods. He stood there, opened his palm, and a dark red phoenix blood was boiling. A blood phoenix dharma image appeared behind him, crying out to the sky and spreading intense flames.

At the same time, with its blessing and assistance, he broke into the forbidden realm of gods! However, due to the injury to his Dao, he was no longer at his former limit, so he only stepped in and did not rush to higher levels.

"This is a divine restriction?!" Everyone was shocked. As expected of someone who had followed the Undying Emperor, the resources and foundation of the Eight Divine Generals were far beyond those of other quasi-emperors.

Such a scene was horrifying. The world was a crimson expanse, boundless and overwhelming, leaving no time to react. In an instant, one was engulfed by the blood-red light, which was vast and boundless, with endless killing intent. That blood was terrifying, exuding an eerie demonic nature, swallowing the heavens and earth. From it, many ancient war spirits rushed out, all of them were quasi-emperors he had killed, transformed into allies to join the attack.

Blood Phoenix Fallen Heaven Fist! At the same time, Kun Tian Divine General roared and attacked with all his might. The vast red sea, mixed with the Blood Phoenix, crashed together. He used the forbidden domain in conjunction with the Divine Blood Fist to bombard, and the power even exceeded that of an ordinary high-level quasi-emperor!
"Summoning such ants is useless." Wang Hongwu's palm turned purplish-red, and his appearance changed instantly. True dragon horns appeared on his head, Kunpeng wings grew on his back, and he was covered in Thunder Emperor Armor. With a stomp of his Qilin foot, he simultaneously activated the Eight-Nine Heavens Technique and the Forbidden Domain: Extreme Secret, and also attacked, directly clashing with the fist that had been baptized by the blood of the Fallen Phoenix.

This is a desperate struggle, burning with immortal divine power, fighting a decisive battle in a forbidden realm. The slightest mistake will result in the annihilation of both body and soul.

Intense battles and fierce combat, with hundreds of moves condensed to the extreme.

Then, with a loud clang, the four immortal spirits pounced, tearing the Blood Phoenix apart and shattering it into pieces. Then, their two fists suddenly collided, exploding into 108,000 layers of Dao waves that swept across tens of millions of light-years.

In an instant, celestial light burst forth, blood splattered everywhere, and Wang Hongwu swept across, the aftershocks of his fist surging for millions of light-years. Kun Tian Shen Jiang's fist was shattered, his finger bones flew out, his flesh tore off, blood mist rose, and he coughed up blood, instantly losing.

The scene stunned everyone. There was no suspense in this battle. Kun Tian Shen Jiang was defeated. He looked dejected, staggered backward, and stared blankly at his broken fists. He was no longer the same as before. His cultivation had fallen too far. Even his baptized divine fists could not unleash their former power.

His fists and his invincible palms, tempered by the blood of immortality, could destroy all things, yet now he had encountered such a young junior, which almost shattered his Dao heart.

This was once our pride, a pair of fists that could conquer the universe, but now it has been shattered!

"Kun Tian!" the Moon God roared, trying to rouse his fighting spirit. At the same time, he threw out an ancient stele, a quasi-emperor forbidden artifact. In some ways, it was even more terrifying than a quasi-emperor artifact because it was a one-time burst of power. After it was used, the artifact would be useless. Its divine power was astonishing!
The deputy head of the Yama Palace did the same; the two of them simultaneously unleashed forbidden weapons to try and stop Wang Hongwu's advance and save the Kuntian Divine General.

"Is it meaningful?" Wang Hongwu asked calmly, unleashing the Nine Secrets United: Heavenly Venerable Great Harmony Transformation, with the Soldier-character Brahma Venerable as the main force, suddenly controlling the two forbidden artifacts.

The next moment, the ultimate sublimation of the "Soldier" secret technique revealed terrifying power, causing the two forbidden artifacts to roar and break free from the control of the Moon God General and the Deputy Palace Master. One of them exploded in reverse, affecting the two of them and sending them flying backward, unable to come to their aid; the other was turned around and bombarded the Kuntian God General, exploding suddenly.

Boom!

A devastating shockwave spread outwards, and Kun Tian Shen Jiang cried out as half of his body was blasted apart by the forbidden artifact, leaving him severely injured on the spot. His prepared counterattack was completely thwarted.

At the same time, Wang Hongwu approached, his eyes cold and ruthless. He unleashed a deadly attack, revealing the Imperial Ultimate Scripture. He fused the Yin-Yang Dao Seed between his palms and slammed it down. The sublimation based on the "Soldier" secret was instantly transformed into the "All" secret. The terrifying blow, amplified tenfold, shattered the upper half of the Kuntian Divine General's body, leaving only his head floating there, which Wang Hongwu grabbed.

"Look carefully, whose era is this!" He held Kuntian's head, looking down coldly at the general's furious face. Wang Hongwu clenched his fist and crushed the head on the spot!
*Poof!* Blood splattered, flesh and bones scattered, even the primordial spirit shattered, utterly annihilated. "This era truly no longer belongs to us. This crippled body is no longer at its peak; he is the true protagonist!"

In the final moment, only a sigh echoed, and reality was finally acknowledged.

This is the bloody truth!

This legendary general was once glorious, invincible, and brilliant, but his life ended in this lifetime.

Everyone fell silent. The Holy Venerable was truly terrifying. Even the Kun Tian Divine General, whose cultivation had not yet been restored, could only die in his encounter with him.

"My God, those were the Eight Divine Generals! And they were just beaten to death like that?"

All the saints from beyond the realm were shocked after witnessing this battle; the Kuntian God General was literally blown to pieces!

The Holy Venerable is too fierce and arrogant. He had just returned after breaking through and killed an old senior with his fist. He stepped on the corpses of the Eight Divine Generals to announce the arrival of his era.

This shock was far more terrifying than the rebellion against the quasi-emperor's corpse spirit!

"Kun Tian!" The Moon Goddess roared, filled with grief and indignation. Her dear friend, who had fought alongside her, had not died at the hands of that invincible god general of the Ancient Heavenly Court, but had been killed by a junior who had just entered the Quasi-Emperor realm. It was too cruel.

No longer at its peak, its glory is gone, and its cultivation has declined too much.

The Vice Hall Master of Yama opened his mouth, wanting to suggest retreating, but then he saw the Moon God rushing forward recklessly, the divine moon behind him almost burning. It wasn't his fists that had been baptized by the blood of the Fallen Phoenix, but his primordial spirit, which was now directly transformed and merged into one in the arena, creating a crimson moon.

This is also his forbidden territory!
The moonlight enveloped Wang Hongwu directly, from which the Blood Phoenix descended, and the Moon Goddess merged with it, attacking without defense, fighting to the death; Wang Hongwu coldly met the attack, his fists pounding so hard that the heavens and earth trembled, he directly confronted the Blood Phoenix, and his force shattered the red moon. This was a great battle that ordinary people could not imagine, even more so than the Kun Tian Battle.

"If we were at our peak, what would you have to fight us with!" the Moon God roared, his body swelling as he felt a great deal of resentment. He couldn't unleash his full former fighting power and felt utterly helpless.

"What a joke! If I were to reach the peak, you would all perish and collapse just by hearing my name! What's the point of talking about a battle at the peak or a duel between equals?" Wang Hongwu scoffed, his tone incredibly sharp, completely disregarding the Eight Divine Generals. The so-called peak and duel were nothing but empty words.

The Eight Divine Generals are not qualified.

The Moon Goddess herself knew that the young man before her was too strong. They didn't even need to fight against someone of the same level or generation. Even a mid-level Quasi-Emperor could kill them at their peak. They were destined to become corpses on his path to enlightenment.

However, he found it hard to accept this fact. The former deity, the eight generals who commanded the world, who intimidated the entire era and left a glorious name in history, was he going to end up like this?

"I am not reconciled! I would rather die in battle than fail to uphold the dignity of my Eight Divine Generals!" The Moon God General erupted, his blood burning, his divine soul surging, and his forehead bones cracking. He disregarded the cost, even if he died immediately after the battle, he wanted a glorious fight, not a humiliating defeat.

At this moment, he too broke into the forbidden realm of the gods. Because he had been baptized by the blood of the emperor, he was extraordinary. But unfortunately, he was not at his peak. He was limited by the Dao injury on his body. Even if he tried to raise the forbidden level, he could only reach the ninth level. He would not be a match for Wang Hongwu.

The two fought fiercely, and the Moon Goddess wanted to end her life in a dazzling display. However, reality is always cruel. Wang Hongwu used the Six Paths of Reincarnation to shatter the Crimson Moon, grabbed the Moon Goddess's body, and tore him in two.

*Thud!* Blood splattered, and the God General's two halves turned to ashes, letting out a bleak smile. "Perhaps we really shouldn't have returned to this world. Our glory is gone. The legends of the past have become stepping stones for the new generation. Brothers, I am truly unwilling. Kun Tian and I have failed you, unable to protect the dignity of the God General."

With a roar, the last wisp of fire burned out, and nothing remained in the arena.

Wang Hongwu stepped over expressionlessly, ending the two great generals with his bare hands. At this moment, with the characteristics of the four evil spirits on his body, he had the aura of a peerless demon god, making people feel fear and terror, and that he was invincible.

"Dead? They're all dead!" The heroes were horrified. The Eight Divine Generals were mythical figures they had heard of since childhood, the gods who followed the Immortal Emperor in ancient times. In the blink of an eye, two of them were dead, all killed by one person. How could this not make people tremble!

"What a loss! I should have left while that guy was fighting so hard." The deputy hall master of the Yama Palace looked pale and red, clearly regretting his actions.

"It's your turn." Wang Hongwu approached the Deputy Lord of the Underworld, smiling coldly. He broke the silence and walked forward step by step, slowly and calmly, but with a powerful pressure that made the heavens and the earth tremble.

Boom! In the end, with each step that landed, a large section of the starry sky collapsed, crashing down from above and sending the deputy hall master flying backward. His strength was still a step below the two great generals!

"Yama Monument!" the deputy hall master roared, unleashing the full power of this divine weapon to attack. He even summoned the phantom of Yama, as if he were about to return to this world and dominate the cycle of life and death, invincible. However, when it came to the clash of the ultimate paths, Wang Hongwu feared no one. He raised one arm to the sky and used the Sun Emperor Tower to suppress the attack, causing the Yama Monument to vibrate. The deputy hall master bled from his seven orifices and howled in disbelief.

At this moment, the two divine weapons seemed to have been revived, and the phantoms of the Sun Emperor and the Yama Emperor appeared, fighting against each other.

This is the path of two emperors, the invincible way, where no opponent can be found again.

The sky trembled, the starry sky shook, the whole world collapsed, the supreme divine power shone forth, and endless auspicious light burst forth.

Everyone retreated, and anyone who stood in their way would die. Under the oppressive power of the extreme, even the Great Sage could only explode, turning into blood and gore, utterly vulnerable.

The next moment, the two divine weapons clashed and fought all the way to the edge of the universe, continuing the old grudge between their masters.

The deputy hall master of Yama, who had lost the protection of the divine weapon, turned pale as he saw Wang Hongwu approaching and his aura surging. Despair filled his heart, and he realized that the other party had triggered the most terrifying of the Nine Secrets.

The secret of the character "皆"!
The reality was cruel. As Wang Hongwu drew near, his blood boiled, and beams of light from his skull shone across millions of light-years. He was bursting with light from head to toe, like a holy emperor walking out of ancient times, exuding an unimaginable aura of terror.

This is an invincible aura, the power of one person overshadowing the starry sky. The secret of "All" is triggered, enhancing everything tenfold!
Although the heaven-defying secret technique created by the Emperor is difficult to use and has too many restrictions, once it reaches the level of divine restriction and is unleashed, it will truly be a 'quest to immortality'!
At this moment, there was no need for any killer moves or fancy techniques. Wang Hongwu simply kicked out and struck the Deputy Lord of the Underworld squarely.

boom!
The dignified Deputy Palace Master of the Underworld, a veteran Quasi-Emperor, was utterly crushed and destroyed with a single stomp, along with fragments of the Great Dao Laws and weapons.

In an instant, the deputy hall master collapsed, his massive body shattered into pieces and exploded in the starry sky!

"Pathetic." Wang Hongwu looked down indifferently, leaving only these four words.

He killed two great generals and even the deputy master of the Yama Palace!

This glorious achievement is awe-inspiring, and silence reigns throughout the four corners of the earth.

At this moment, everyone understood that this era belonged to the Holy Venerable, to this young powerhouse who reigned supreme. The old folks like them had long since been swept away by the tides.

It's the leftover dregs.
