The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 199: Who else but me can lift a stone to mend the sky!
Once again, the sun rose at its darkest hour.

Heading towards all living beings, heading towards the final battlefield.

Yin Luo Dasheng remained silent, feeling both gratified and reluctant to part. To them, this battle was no different from going to their deaths, making it difficult not to feel sad and resistant. They were not saints, but ordinary people who could be selfish and reluctant to part.

But he is the successor of the Yin Emperor, the successor of the Sun Emperor, and the future third emperor.

His path and his choices are not for others to interfere with.

"Holy Emperor, we have not failed your dying wish. These are your descendants, the successors you have always awaited." Great Sage Haoyang sighed softly. Perhaps, this is the destiny of the Sun lineage.

Burning, giving, illuminating all, bringing hope.

The Sun Emperor was like this, his descendants were like this, and now King Hongwu is the same.

"We are still too weak, even insignificant compared to the Holy Venerable. There is very little we can do." The old god was filled with complex emotions, and the old patriarch was also somewhat helpless. Although they were all on the verge of becoming Daoists at the peak of the Ninth Heaven, the gap between them and the Supreme Venerable was still too great. Going there would be suicide, and they wouldn't even be able to withstand a single blow.

"Will win!"

Just then, a young voice rang out, breaking the silence and drawing everyone's attention. It was the Purple Star Saint, Wang Hongwu's disciple. Contrary to the reluctance of the crowd, he looked firm and said with trust, "Master will win!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat dazed. Then another voice rang out. It was Shen Chen. This Divine Blood Supreme was different from the others. His face was filled with confidence and excitement. He pressed his secret realm and said in a deep voice, "We will win! Because I can feel the Dao belonging to the Supreme, the seed belonging to him, rising and boiling. It is a battle intent that surpasses heaven and earth!"

"Your Excellency will reach the pinnacle of enlightenment in this battle, taking that crucial step forward!"

"Indeed, Your Highness is the true chosen one, and you will win!" As soon as Shen Chen finished speaking, everyone was shocked. Then, the Prince of Light stepped forward, equally determined. Sensing the phantom of the Light and Dark Seeds within his body, he confidently declared, "Your Highness is the one who will create miracles. He is the last hope of this era, and the last resistance of all living beings!"

Then, even the ferocious beast that slays the heavens spoke up, coldly snorting, "They're right. Even I, an outsider, have full confidence in him. Why are you, his closest confidants, all so sorrowful? Don't forget, he is the third Human Emperor, surpassing both the Holy Emperor and the Human Emperor. What is this calamity?"

"Uncle-Master, let them see the true last Heavenly Venerable, the Bright Venerable, who is also the Supreme Heavenly Venerable! He has exhausted the limits of the Dao, and the sun and moon have changed the heavens!" The Emperor, the disciple of the ancient Heavenly Court's ruler, looked up at that figure with great confidence in him.

It's him, and that's enough.

At this moment, unlike the reluctance to part with family and loved ones, what arises among disciples, followers, and parishioners is absolute trust.

Wang Hongwu would respond to this trust with the most steadfast determination!
war!
"The sun is setting, and they are old and frail. They are no longer the emperors they once were. The one in the prime of life is me!"

Before the Immortal Array Gate, Wang Hongwu's voice was like a golden bell, his aura bursting forth, stirring the heavens, and he reigned supreme over the world. His red hair flew wildly, and at this moment, everyone couldn't help but kneel down. He exuded an aura of imperial power. He glanced at the crowd, then suddenly turned around and said, "On this journey, I will soar like a roc into the blue sky and a kun fly through the northern sea. When I return, I will surely stand at the pinnacle of the starry sky and rewrite all the old order!"

Only in turbulent times can true heroes emerge; only in the face of strong winds and raging waves can pillars of strength be revealed!
"Master, please quell the turmoil, illuminate my sun, and strengthen my Heavenly Court!"

From the crowd, the Great Sage Tianyang strode out, performed a grand farewell ceremony, and bowed deeply.

"Please, Master, quell the rebellion, restore order to the world, carry on the legacy of the Human Emperor, and strengthen our Heavenly Court!"

On the high platform, the Great Sage Xuan Yin stepped forward, prostrated himself, and pressed his forehead deeply to the ground, shouting loudly amidst tears streaming down his face.

"Please, Master, quell the turmoil and strengthen our Heavenly Court!"

In an instant, the mountains roared and the sea surged, and all the beings of the Purple Palace bowed down, knelt, and paid homage to bid farewell to the most glorious one.

The heads of the major royal families and the elder saints also looked solemn, bowing their heads and clasping their hands in farewell.

"After this calamity passes, I will stand in the eternal heavens and live through the ages with you!"

After leaving behind his last words, Wang Hongwu turned around, resolutely stepped through the gate of light, and disappeared.

The moment when the world turns around is now.

When he reappeared in the depths of Zhongzhou, Wang Hongwu's demeanor was different. His gaze was deep and resolute, and his composure revealed the majesty of a king. He had embarked on his path to becoming an emperor.

Looking at Wuliang Daoren and Ye Chunfeng, he suddenly laughed, patted them on the shoulder and said, "Why are you so serious? We are going to fight the Supreme Being, not to die. After this battle, the path to enlightenment will be right before our eyes. We should be happy."

"Ha, that's right, we should be happy." Wuliang Daoren also laughed, his expression gradually relaxed, and then he became confident. "In my previous life, I had not yet killed any other Dao Provers. It seems that I can fulfill my wish in this life."

I bet even that supreme ruler is slightly inferior to my prowess!

As he spoke, he stepped forward and activated the fusion formation he had set up, instantly revealing three array eyes.

"In my life, I have only two regrets: I regret that the bright moon hangs high and does not shine on me alone, and I regret that heaven and earth gave birth to all things and not just you and me." Ye Chunfeng pointed at Wang Hongwu, laughed heartily, and stood in the right eye of the formation, saying with emotion, "But now, I also have two blessings: I am fortunate to have the bright sun shining overhead, and I am fortunate that heaven and earth have chosen you and me, giving me the opportunity to slay the supreme on the path and make up for my regrets!"

"Good! Heroes of the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river, but even the supreme ruler must leap over my Dragon Gate!"
"The three of us will join forces today to slay the Emperor and defy the Supreme Being! Let's see who will rule this world!" Wang Hongwu, full of heroic spirit, went straight to the left eye of the formation; and between the two of them was Wuliang Daoren.

The three array eyes returned to their positions, immediately unleashing a powerful aura that surged outwards, repelling all people and things.

In an instant, the Yin and Yang trembled, and a huge Yin-Yang diagram appeared within the formation, evolving towards the original, primordial state of everything.

Then, the Boundless Daoist transformed his incomplete chaotic body into the Five Elements and then into countless runes, which suddenly merged into the center of the Yin-Yang diagram. The Yin-Yang and Five Elements returned to their origin, allowing this primordial scene to be completed and evolved into true chaos!

At this moment, the true supreme chaotic Dao fluctuation appeared, suppressing the eternal blue sky and shattering the past, present, and future. This power was too terrifying; it could be sensed even in the deepest part of the universe, with unparalleled clarity.

A thousand cheers, the whole world pays homage.

Chaos, return to your rightful place!
·
The pitter patter.

The clouds were dark, and a light, dark red drizzle began to fall without warning.

There were no clouds of all shapes and sizes, nor the sun, moon, and stars that brought brilliance; only cold rain fell mercilessly.

Someone once said that the sky was not originally blue, but rather a mixture of pitch black and blood red.

Now, with the cold, icy rain slapping haphazardly against our faces, all beings are finally beginning to understand and realize that this is the truth, the bloody truth.

There were no terrifying sounds or cruel actions; just the four figures standing there extinguished all hope, like heavy mountains pressing down on everyone's hearts.

The once mighty emperor who protected the world has transformed into a butcher who devours all living beings. His invincible power has now become the most terrifying shadow and death warrant.

In the midst of despair, where can a glimmer of hope appear?
The building is about to collapse, who can save it from the fall?
Even if the Yin Emperor returned and the Sun Emperor reappeared, they could only stop the Eternal Heavenly Venerable and the Yama Emperor.

There are still two remaining Dark Sovereigns.

The ferocious Roc King and the cruel Stone King are both trampling on the universe and reaping countless lives.

"What you have done today, you will surely be held accountable in the future!"

The masses roared in fury, unleashing killing intents that shook the entire world, but what good did it do? In the eyes of the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone, these were nothing but ants. They merely laughed indifferently, enjoying the struggles of the two Human Emperors and the misery of the masses, before ruthlessly trampling on them all.

It was just a fireworks display to please them.

"Settle accounts with us? What a ridiculous joke." The Stone Emperor sneered. With just a glance, terrifying ripples of the Great Dao spread wildly throughout the world, cracking open the universe and causing all things to tremble in fear!
*Poof!* Countless stars trembled, and countless lives were instantly annihilated. Blood splattered, bones broke, and vibrant lives withered away.

"It doesn't matter. I will kill all those who have hope. When the Purifiers arrive, they will only be devoured by us." The Great Roc Emperor walked across expressionlessly, leaving behind mountains of corpses and seas of blood. He was even more insane than the Stone Emperor, and had no intention of leaving any seeds behind. Wherever he went, everything was annihilated.

The entire universe was shrouded in darkness and gloom.

A desperate scream.

A helpless sob.

Dying madness.

Unprecedented, all living beings on Earth are wailing.

No one could stop them even for a moment; the universe trembled and all living beings wept.

"Without hope, there is only darkness. A new era has begun, and the light will never be seen again!"

Countless emotions and voices clashed and intertwined, turning the entire universe into a living hell. Faced with this darkness and turmoil, they were so powerless, so insignificant, that all they could do was pray.

Before this, many people considered themselves extraordinary, many people were arrogant, many people despised kindness, and many people ridiculed greatness. They had fantasized countless times that they would be the ones exerting pressure, the ones in control. But when everything really came to pass and appeared before their eyes, they realized that they were wrong, all of them were wrong.

They were just ordinary people, just ants, just the bullied; but now, they are turning around and praying devoutly to those things they once despised and looked down upon, wishing that the heavenly deities and ancient emperors of all ages would be resurrected to protect them, and to worship that greatness and benevolence.

In the last city on the ancient human road, the high-ranking officials remained silent, watching all this with a sense of helplessness.

"Senior." Someone whispered from behind, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping themselves.

"There's nothing we can do but wait." That was all they could say. They activated the city's formation, but they didn't know if they could survive this calamity, and they themselves were in grave danger.

In the ancient star field of Lingbao, a stone statue watched all this from afar, its eyes displaying a complex array of emotions: "In the end, it still took this step."

At this moment, in star fields and among races, every living being was hoping that a strong person would step forward and stop all of this.

"The hopes of the weak will only be trampled underfoot by the strong." The supreme beings scoffed, completely indifferent to such things. If all living beings were truly useful, the dark turmoil of past dynasties would not have been so devastating.

If a group of people can't stop the forbidden zone while they're alive, do they really think they can defy fate and quell the dark turmoil after they're dead?
ridiculous!

But where the power of all living beings converged, planets and ancient lands trembled, and light and dawn broke through the gloom!

Even in despair, there is always a glimmer of hope.

That is the echo of the thoughts of all living beings, reverberating.

The entire Big Dipper was violently shaking, and the Central Plains, Eastern Wilderness, Western Desert, Southern Ridge, and Northern Plains all reversed their course, gradually collapsing into a human shape.

It possesses the radiance of the sun, the energy of the moon, the light of the immortal array, and the Dao of Chaos!
As they merged, the humanoid form became increasingly clear and enormous, an aura that shocked countless creatures throughout the primordial universe.

"What happened? Some inexplicable change has occurred!" The crowd was shocked. They sensed this scene through the resonance of their mental power and were all very surprised.

The original Big Dipper Starfield has disappeared, leaving only a surging and turbulent sea of ​​chaos.

From within, blood-red light shot out.

The purple and red shimmered, the blue and black flickered, and finally they all merged into a colorful hue that encompassed the main color.

The next moment, a surge of chaotic blood energy tore through the heavens and earth, causing the dim starry sky to be transformed. New life was seen amidst decay and destruction, and the myths of countless ages were reenacted, composing a glorious era. It was as if the supreme celestial being who created history had reappeared, carrying the voice of all spirits and stepping against the tide to the peak of the Dao!

Boom!

The surging blood energy swept across billions of light-years, shaking the universe that had fallen into darkness. Even though the place was vast and boundless, shrouded in gloom, there were still rolling chaotic divine lights that tore everything apart. Furthermore, the power spread by the supreme beings exploded and collapsed in an instant.

"This fluctuation? Is it another one of that Dao-proving cultivator's backup plans?"

The various forbidden zones roared, startling the Supreme Beings, who looked over in astonishment. What were they sensing?
Especially in the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, the figure within suddenly blazed with intense light, staring incredulously at the scene: "They... they actually fused into a true Chaos Body?!"

Where the Big Dipper once stood, only a human figure remained.

With dazzling radiance and majestic aura, he stood there, merging with the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, creating an aura that commanded the utmost reverence from all living beings.

"I stand atop the mountain, the peak is mine; the sea stretches to the horizon, my shoulders are its shore. Today I ride the wind to the highest point, and even the heavens and the earth bow their heads in disdain!"

At this moment, he solemnly proclaimed that a magnificent and unparalleled aura permeated the world, shaking the heavens and earth and intimidating the netherworld. All things with spirits had to submit, and all the four corners of the earth and the eight wastelands had to pay homage. He ruled the world, and all the myriad paths also cascaded down boundless brilliance, like a waterfall surrounding this radiant and blazing body.

Not only did he emit chaotic laws, but he was also surrounded by various celestial spirits, making him appear like a celestial lord or Dao king.

It was truly unbelievable. Just how powerful must one person be to create such a scene? Was he about to attain enlightenment? All the powerful figures were utterly shocked and couldn't help but tremble.

In the Immortal Mountain, the Heavenly Queen, who was watching from the sidelines, was horrified. She felt a suffocating sensation and was unable to move, like a clay sculpture or wooden statue. What had happened?
After passing the nine imperial gates, the people of the Ziwei Heavenly Court exclaimed in surprise, sensing a familiar aura emanating from them.

That's their leader!
Your Majesty, King Hongwu!

"That was our last hope, born in response to our call!"

The entire world trembled, and countless living beings bowed their heads in this direction, offering devout worship, cheering, praying, and shedding tears of emotion.

There, a humanoid being opened its eyes. A true dragon soared into the sky, a Kunpeng circled, a thunder emperor held the heavens in his hand, and a Qilin suppressed the universe. Streams of auspicious light and divine radiance paved a chaotic path. He stepped on it and disappeared into the horizon.

Along its path, only the light of the Dao flickered, transforming into thunder that crashed down from the heavens, causing extraordinary phenomena to descend upon the world. And the direction it was heading was none other than the Bright Blue Ancient Starfield.

Beyond the star field, the Stone Emperor opened his mouth and inhaled, causing billions of living beings to explode and transform into pure essence that entered his mouth and nose, bringing a satisfied expression to his face.

As the Great Dao of Chaos stirred, it unleashed a long tail of flame, and a violent rumbling sound tore through the air across the universe. It was a tremendous roar in response to the call of all living beings. Each step seemed to span thousands of years, disrupting time, and it arrived in an instant.

While enjoying absorbing the essence of all living beings, the Stone Emperor was caught off guard by the vast chaotic sea. A fist suddenly emerged from it, shaking the very edge of the universe and causing it to collapse. It also triggered various immortal spirits such as the Azure Dragon, the Serpent, the Vermilion Bird, the White Tiger, and the Kunpeng to charge forward.

Each immortal spirit is a great Dao, formed from the most ancient runic characters of the Emperor. Chaos drives all paths, representing the will of heaven and earth, and slaughters until all things are destroyed.

boom!
This was a terrifying collision. The Nine Heavens collapsed, and all realms fell. The violent explosion seemed to destroy the universe, returning it to its origin. The Stone Emperor, who was attacked, roared, and his body exploded into a long trail of blood. He staggered and was unable to stop himself. He staggered forward a great distance before he recovered.

Who! He turned around fiercely and stared at the suddenly appearing figure. The figure was surrounded by chaotic energy, with the Yin and Yang merging behind him, and the fluctuations of the ancient immortal array were spreading, continuously gathering the divine energy of the universe.

"A chaotic entity? A complete and flawless chaotic entity?" The Stone Emperor was astonished. This was actually the chaotic entity that had evolved into the Big Dipper back then, reappearing?!
No, no, in just a moment, he sensed the difference again. The physical body was the same, but the primordial spirit had already been replaced by three other weak fluctuations.

One is the former solar body, another is the lunar body, and the third is a fragmented chaotic body, which is even more likely to be the reincarnation of a certain celestial deity from the mythological era.

These three things, pieced together from various sources, have somehow created such a supreme enemy?

Surprisingly, even the gazes of those in other forbidden zones flickered, their thoughts a jumbled mess of unspoken ideas.

The most unusual one was the one who made the move in the Sea of ​​Reincarnation; he seemed to regret that he had made the wrong move at the wrong time.

Otherwise, this chaotic entity might be him.

At this moment, the descending chaotic being remained silent, its eyes terrifyingly deep, filled with images of the destruction of the sun and moon, the creation of various realms, and the collapse of heaven and earth. Its body was engulfed by chaos, its terror boundless.

The vast, chaotic sea beneath its feet was swirling, as if it were about to swallow the human world and begin a new creation.

"A perfectly intact chaotic entity?" "The Big Dipper of yesteryear was truly formed from the body of a single person!"

People thought of those fragmented legends that were almost lost in the mythological era, a time when the Chaos Entity appeared and coexisted with the Nine Heavenly Venerables.

Legend has it that if this physique appears, it is only a matter of time before one achieves enlightenment. Sooner or later, one will succeed, and there is no need to worry that someone in that era will have already achieved enlightenment and be hailed as the strongest!
Now, such a chaotic entity has reappeared, aiming to stop the turmoil and hinder the supreme being!
Without a word, the figure strode forward, and with a flick of his fingers, countless chaotic flames and lightning appeared. Each wisp and each bolt possessed the divine power to tear apart the universe and create the world, crashing down upon the Stone Emperor.

No words are needed, only a punch!
"Three juniors dare to offend the dignity of a supreme being!" The black halberd in the Stone Emperor's hand trembled violently, its dark light splitting the sky. The huge halberd blade flashed with terrifying light, suddenly blocking the incoming fist. This time, he was on guard, naturally revealing the terrifying sharpness of a supreme being.

Fists and halberds clashed, and the laws of the Great Dao crashed together like a raging wave. Brilliant light continuously scattered between them, like celestial flowers blooming, each one extremely splendid. The fluctuations they emitted made the universe tremble and all living beings tremble with fear. Many people knelt on the ground. No matter how far apart they were, they all felt this immense pressure. But in their hearts, they were not terrified, but excited.

Because a powerful figure has indeed emerged who is poised to stop all of this!

Looking down at all this, the Stone Emperor remained indifferent and said, "Insects, your resistance is meaningless. Although you have merged into a true chaotic body, your primordial spirit is ultimately not at that level, and you have no imperial laws. You can be destroyed billions of times with a flick of your finger. You think you can compete with me with this? You're just courting death!"

He is the supreme ruler throughout the ages, who in the world can rival him? Since his attainment of enlightenment, no one has dared to approach him, yet before this, he was actually injured by this mere ant, and his imperial blood was splattered out. This is simply an utter disgrace!
Kill! The chaotic being uttered a killing cry for the first time, shaking the eight wastelands. All living beings seemed to sense it, and boundless spiritual power surged and gathered on his body, causing the originally dim chaotic laws to suddenly shine. He walked arrogantly, surrounded by immortals and spirits. With palms and fingers striking down, the laws were like a sea. He could truly fight against the supreme beings!
This was a bizarre change that truly startled the four supreme beings.

Gathering the thoughts and hopes of all living beings, this powerful punch unleashed a massive crack that spread across the vast天地 (heaven and earth), its light and flames like a boundless ocean, severing heaven and earth, cutting through eternity, and breaking the shackles of time, causing even the Stone Emperor to change color.

This figure represents the world's last stand, the indomitable cry of all living beings.

With each call and shout, the boundless power of sentient beings surged forth, blessing him. Sentient beings were hoping and praying!
If it weren't for me, who else could lift stones to mend the sky?
