The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 200 Born to be the best among men, Heaven has bestowed upon him a free and unrestrained spirit!
The sky darkened, and the universe was plunged into a dark torrent. In this time of blood and chaos, chaos was broken and some people went against the current!

He lifted stones to mend the heavens, responding to the call of all living beings, and fought against the Stone Emperor to stop the supreme ruler of darkness.

Two figures clashed in this boundless sea of ​​stars, their battle reaching the edge of the universe, causing all things to roar and threatening to obliterate all stars and realms.

Countless rays of immortal light bloomed, representing the two people's laws and principles, transforming into a panorama of the universe. The laws and chains of chaos and imperial principles intertwined, creating a dazzling spectacle.

All spirits bowed down, worshipping in this direction, praying incessantly, their thoughts flowing like a vast ocean, praying that the appearing savior could defeat all adversaries.

The figure, bearing the weight of all living beings, raised his fist and collided with the black halberd. The surging imperial laws were completely swallowed and dissolved by the chaos surrounding his body. Instead, the surging fist power merged with the immortal array, and the explosion made the Stone Emperor's arm go numb. He showed a look of surprise. Although this guy's primordial spirit was weak, he was protected by a fully revived supreme divine weapon, which made up for his shortcomings. He was indeed fighting against him.

More importantly, Shi Huang's supreme-level experience in combat and his understanding and application of Daoist techniques did not give him any advantage. The person opposite him seemed to have mastered the Dao as well, dealing with the situation with ease. In this field, Shi Huang was no less capable than Shi Huang!

This is impossible, inconceivable. Who could possess the secrets of combat after achieving enlightenment without first attaining it?

Unless, among those fighting, there is someone who has touched upon this realm!
"Hmph, Chaotic Body, no wonder you could severely injure Wuliang back then. This kind of law can even neutralize the power of the Emperor's Dao. But unfortunately, you are not the same person as back then. You cannot unleash that kind of destructive power and secret technique, and your realm is far from reaching that level. If it weren't for the protection of the Immortal Array, you would have been killed by me long ago." Even so, the Stone Emperor was still sarcastic and arrogant.

Even if you were to fuse with several imperial bodies for those who haven't yet attained enlightenment, it would be useless. Once you reach that level, it's all for naught. There are huge gaps in all aspects, including physical body, primordial spirit, weapon, combat experience, secret techniques and supernatural powers, imperial laws, and so on.

Therefore, the Stone Emperor did not regard him as an opponent and remained arrogant and disdainful.

But what he received in response was a fist.

A fist that shatters everything, ignites history, and sweeps across the ages!

At this moment, the form of the chaotic body changed, and one after another immortal spirit appeared around it, intertwining and overlapping to form an ultimate battle body with true dragon horns, Qiongqi arms, Qilin feet, Taotie claws, Kunpeng wings, Huashe tail, Taotie scales, Leidi armor, Zhuque feathers, and Zhulong heavenly eyes.

Hmm? Shi Huang raised an eyebrow, keenly sensing the difference. It was as if he had become a different person, using this method to instantly boost his combat power. Furthermore, a strange forbidden domain was exerting its power, eliminating disharmony and perfectly fusing the several forces together.

"Strange, truly strange. It has the feel of the Ninth Secret, yet it's different. I've never heard of a Tenth Secret." He swung his halberd and slashed forward, only to see the figure charge forward forcefully, bare-handedly clashing with the Supreme Divine Weapon, sending it flying and scattering countless brilliant sparks.

The Heavenly Desolate Halberd, forged from dragon-patterned black gold, was almost bent at this moment. A bright fist mark appeared on it, and cracks appeared. It was almost smashed apart by this punch!

He could crush imperial artifacts with his bare hands and shatter immortal gold with his palms!
This was an unparalleled achievement, and even the other supreme beings focused their gazes on it. This situation seemed to be different from what they had expected.

Boom! The torrent of blood energy surged forth, affecting all realms of the universe, allowing every living being to look up in awe, and to feel a sense of resonance and familiarity from it, not to mention that the majestic battle body had appeared in countless world-shaking battles.

At that moment, through that boiling light, people naturally sketched a vague image in their minds.

It was a red-haired man with the body of an immortal, whose blood energy surged and engulfed the universe, his eyes radiating purple light, like the rising sun dispelling gloom and darkness, and suppressing blood and chaos.

Born to be the best among men, Heaven has endowed me with a wild and unrestrained spirit!
His existence is a legend of our time, unparalleled in his era, rivaled throughout history, and renowned for all eternity!

The next moment, people truly saw such a blurry figure, resonating with all living beings, standing tall in the chaos, returning to the world.

"Holy Lord!" All the stars and myriad realms cried out in unison, finally recognizing the identity of that chaotic being—the invincible one hailed as the future emperor!
"Hongwu!" Inside the Ziwei Heavenly Court, the four women exclaimed in unison, their expressions shaken. They sensed that overwhelming power that dominated the universe could truly rival a Dao Prover.

"Master!" the followers shouted, their blood boiling and surging to their very core, almost leaping up. Their leader was fighting against the Dark Lord!

That was a battle that determined the survival of the entire world, and the figure of the cult leader appeared in it, as if it were an unprecedented grand miracle and baptism.

Unlike the worried higher-ups, these disciples felt an unparalleled sense of pride welling up inside them. At that moment, everyone looked up at that towering figure.

"That's our Ziwei Sect Leader!" "He's created a miracle never before seen in history! Sect Leader, behead him!"

Some prayed devoutly, some shouted loudly, and some roared madly. All the disciples were cheering for the leader's final battle, doing their part in different ways.

"It's him?" On the ancient road, all the high-ranking officials were stunned, frozen in place like statues, their minds reeling, unable to utter a single sentence, deeply shocked.

Unprecedented! That wasn't a fully-fledged golden body or domineering bloodline, but a person of our time!

Unbeknownst to him, he had reached a terrifying height that would move the entire world, but such a battle, such a brutal war, should not be something that a young man of only three hundred years old could bear.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" In the Undying Mountain, the Heavenly Empress trembled and retreated in fear. Her palms, forehead, and even her whole body were covered in sweat, but she was completely unaware of it. Her eyes were fixed on that figure, not daring to look away for even a moment.

Looking at that familiar face, she felt a strange sense of dread. That young man had accumulated such terrifying power. Recalling her past interactions with him, she felt waves of fear and awe.

She was terrified; her Dao heart was shattered by this scene, and she had no hope of moving forward.

"What a miracle!" On the ancestral star of Divine Silkworm Ridge, the eldest saint and the Divine Silkworm Princess couldn't help but exclaim. This was a miracle, a miracle that shouldn't exist. While all races were still fighting and vying for the survival of their races, unknowingly, that young man had already far surpassed their level and reached this unprecedented and terrifying level.

It can even contend with former enlightened beings, now supreme beings! It possesses terrifying power capable of crushing everything.

"How could anyone imagine that a mere youth could now bear the weight of humanity, save the world, and wage such a divine war?" Even the royal family members on the Blood Phoenix Mountain Ancestral Star could only submit in admiration; they were far inferior to him.

Even Huang Xudao was stunned. Were they really from the same generation?
Were they ever truly on equal footing, considered to be in the same league?

real or fake!

He was still a Great Sage, yet he defied the heavens and went to fight the Supreme Being. Countless complex emotions mingled at this moment, which could only turn into a sigh: "It really depends on you, Holy Venerable, it depends on you!"

Holy Lord, we're counting on you!

In an instant, the power of thought of all living beings surged, trembling like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, bringing an extraordinary blessing—a miracle of life.

"What do you take me for? You three ants, a corpse that isn't even a king, and a bunch of leftover food scraps, you think you can kill me and go cultivate for another 100,000 years!" The Stone Emperor roared in fury. How could he be so defiant? It was a tremendous humiliation!

However, no matter how powerfully he wielded his halberd, he couldn't even touch the figure that spread its wings like a roc. Wang Hongwu rose and fell like a roc, walking arrogantly in the world. Every move he made stirred up fragments of time, which always vanished at crucial moments. It was too fast. He even used his unparalleled speed to break through the defense of the ultimate divine weapon and brought his attack to the Stone Emperor's doorstep, almost causing him to suffer several calamities.

This method, this speed, even made the Celestial Venerable of Longevity extremely wary. He exclaimed in surprise, "It's even faster than the 'Xing' character secret technique of the Carefree One. It's so heaven-defying, just what is its background?"

"Such a nourishing power is truly elusive and worthy of contemplation!"

Meanwhile, watching all this, the Lord of the Undying Mountain was also pondering, feeling that he had gained a lot, especially since he himself had evolved from such a life form, which made him even more concerned.

In that battlefield, chaos surged and immortal spirits were boundless. A figure angrily attacked the Stone Emperor, then suddenly turned around and looked at the universe.

Soldiers, follow me into battle!
At that moment, people heard these words in their hearts, which shook the heavens and earth, causing the chaotic frontier to shatter on a large scale.

Immediately following was the earth-shattering sound of the Great Dao, with one wave of supreme divine power erupting after another.

The Myriad Dragon Bell shattered everything and descended from the sky, its purple aura rising in countless directions, violently scattering the Heavenly Desolate Halberd.

A beam of immortal light pierced through eternity, and the golden mace was born, illuminating the nine heavens, tearing open the universe, and striking this place. It forced the Stone Emperor to retreat, his face filled with rage. Wang Hongwu then slashed through with all his might, leaving a fist imprint on his body with a "poof," shattering even the imperial laws.

Just as the Stone Emperor was about to counterattack, he discovered that more and more supreme divine weapons were awakening at the same time, all of them were mobilized and revived!
The universe was ripped open, and one after another, the most dazzling celestial light flew out, illuminating the dark and cold universe with brilliant light.

The Immortal-Slaying Gourd, the Eastern Emperor Bell, the Immortal-Achieving Cauldron, the Spirit Treasure Array Diagram, the Four Great Killing Swords, the Heavenly Emperor's Forbidden Artifact, the Divine Lord Sword, the Emperor's Horn, the Myriad Dragon Bell, the Golden Mace, the Primordial Emperor Gourd, the Bright Pot, and the Divine Silkworm Robe all appeared, along with other ancient weapons emerging from other corners of the universe. An aura of the ultimate Dao erupted, and figures worshipped by our ancestors seemed to return, re-descending upon this world. All things in heaven and earth, every blade of grass and every tree, trembled in awe, and countless galaxies shook violently. Never before had there been such a scene.

This was not a simple revival, but a true and complete resurrection. The Stone Emperor changed color, and was shaken for the first time. He was no longer as calm as before, because these artifacts were all made by people like them, and it was not so easy to destroy them.

Moreover, his Sendai is now flawed, not without imperfections. Otherwise, how could these artifacts have become the weapons of the former Supreme Being? They are not worthy of being used without corresponding offensive power. When they are fully unleashed, they are all equivalent to an ordinary strike from the Imperial Domain.

If it were in a flawless, sublimated state, the Stone Emperor wouldn't even glance at it and could easily dismiss it without harming himself. But now it has ultimately severed itself, and it has also experienced the consumption of the other world passage. Moreover, there is a Chaos Body watching it covetously beside it!

These divine weapons were evenly dispersed, some blocking the Great Roc Emperor, some assisting the two Human Emperors, and some crashing down on the spot with incredible ferocity. The universe collapsed instantly, and the Stone Emperor roared in anger, constantly resisting. Even his mount, the Divine Tiger, was reduced to ashes by the aftershocks. Wang Hongwu immediately made his move, and his Chaos Divine Fist pierced through the Stone Emperor's armor.

The blood was splattering, belonging to the Supreme One, to the Dao Enlightened One of yesteryear, but now, his invincible golden body had been shattered, and his undefeated myth had been crushed!
"Junior!" Shi Huang shouted. He was actually injured and bleeding. He immediately unleashed his battle power, sending everything flying. His aura also began to rise, and he used his true power. After all, this was only his first appearance in the world. He was in good condition and his strength was really strong.

The three divine weapons—the Golden Mace, the Myriad Dragon Bell, and the Divine Silkworm Robe—were used to aid Wang Hongwu in battle, and they were all resurrected. The robe even covered his primordial spirit, protecting the weakest point and blocking the invading Imperial Divine Chains.

Then, holding the Immortal Mace in his left hand and shaking the Divine Bell in his right, he struck with a thunderous blow, causing the Stone Emperor to stagger backward and his halberd to tremble. This blow made his arm go numb again, and he was very shocked. But before he could say anything, Wang Hongwu directly used the Secret Technique of the Military, turning the trembling halberd back and sweeping it towards the Stone Emperor's neck.

"Nine Secrets?" Shi Huang was immediately in a sorry state. Although he managed to retrieve his weapon in time, his cheek was still grazed by the halberd blade, leaving a bloody scar.

This was an utter disgrace! It was unacceptable to the proud man like him. He immediately unleashed a forbidden secret technique, and the Imperial Killing Light surged forward, cleaving the Myriad Dragon Bell away and causing the Golden Mace to retreat violently. If it were anyone else, being hit by such a strike, even countless cultivators on the verge of enlightenment would be annihilated, turning into cosmic dust. Even those with a fully formed Golden Body and Overlord Bloodline would be injured. But Wang Hongwu still managed to withstand it, deflecting it with a slam of his fists and unleashing his own killing move.

The Stone Emperor, who faced the attack head-on, only staggered and was not really hurt. After all, it was not a killing move from the Imperial Realm, which was worlds apart. He relied on his Imperial Body and the laws of the extreme Dao to withstand it. This kind of unparalleled divine power almost made people despair. How could they fight against it?
"A few weapons, and a cobbled-together ant, dare to be disrespectful to me!" The Stone Emperor was glowing. He had attained perfect enlightenment as a Holy Spirit, and was no ordinary ancient emperor. His combat power was outstanding. He could not accept the scene that was vaguely recreating the situation of the Boundless Heavenly Venerable back then.

"Nonsense!" Wang Hongwu coldly rebuked, and forcefully took action. With the enhancement and evolution of the Extreme Secret, he fully mobilized the power of the three people, combined with the Chaos Body, and worked in conjunction with the Immortal Array. Even though his primordial spirit was incomplete and could not compare to the original Chaos Body, it was not far off. The forbidden domain that was born from the combination of the Nine Secrets was truly heaven-defying!

Strictly speaking, their primordial spirits are utterly vulnerable and could be obliterated by a single thought from the Stone Emperor. Even with such battle bodies, there is still a huge gap in terms of laws, secret techniques, and so on. This Dark Supreme has no intention of showing mercy and only engaging in a physical duel with them!

Instead, they actually used the laws and commanded the ultimate divine weapons. Even a fully-formed Golden Body and a Tyrant Blood would be suppressed and severely injured. However, they relied on the Extreme Word Secret and the Immortal Array to fight back, using the battle techniques and experience of the Boundless Heavenly Venerable to make up for some of the gap. It can be said to be quite heaven-defying and almost impossible.

"How could he have such strength? It defies common sense." Even Yama, the King of Hell, couldn't help but pay attention to this side. While fighting with the Sun Saint Emperor, he secretly weighed the situation in his mind and found it unbelievable.

He had seen the Golden Body and Overlord Blood that had reached the Great Perfection, but none of them could do this. Even if they encountered a self-severing Supreme, they could only be consumed. Even if they went further to achieve Dao in an alternative way, they would only be better than a self-severing Supreme but inferior to an Ascended Supreme. Moreover, these people were not in bad condition. They were not old and frail, and had no choice but to emerge from the world. Their combat power was even stronger.

"Chaotic Body, humph! That's not all. I sensed the aura of another Celestial Venerable inside. Three ants, they're really well-prepared." The Eternal Celestial Venerable's gaze was cold, but he had caught traces of the Boundless Celestial Venerable. However, to him, none of that mattered; the blood essence of the Chaotic Body was what mattered.

Once we've destroyed this human emperor, we'll divide the spoils among him.

On the other side, the Great Roc Emperor also looked over, his eyes revealing a wild gleam. He was fighting against four supreme divine weapons, but he was also proud and did not come over to attack. Being able to launch the Dark Turmoil was already breaking his own bottom line.

boom!
Another clash ensued, the chaotic sea surged, and immortals danced together. Wang Hongwu fought the Supreme Being with unparalleled prowess, a display that astonished the world and earned the respect and awe of all the stars and realms.

"Let alone these weapons, even if their owners were to come back to life here, I would still kill them without hesitation!"

Meanwhile, the Stone Emperor, who was engaged in the most intense battle, had elevated his combat power to the peak of his normal state. His gaze was cold and deep as he hesitated whether to push himself to the extreme, knowing that the consequences would be troublesome. Although it was his first time, he would still need a great deal of compensation and recuperation afterward.

"Then let's see! Who can you kill!" Just then, the Holy Prince and the Fighting Saint King, who had been preparing for a long time in the Ziwei Heavenly Court, successfully sacrificed the Immortal Iron Rod with their blood. Suddenly, they threw it out, and a golden giant ape that reached the heavens and stepped into the netherworld emerged from it. It let out a roar that resounded throughout the heavens and suppressed the nine heavens and ten earths.

The black and gold iron rod shone with divine light, with countless auspicious rays. It charged into the battlefield, illuminating an eternal radiance. Within it was also the ultimate killing formation that the Holy Prince had retrieved from the ancestral star of the Fighting Holy Ape lineage!
In an instant, the Immortal Iron Cudgel arrived at the cosmic battlefield with its killing array, cleaving down to strike the Stone Emperor. What was most astonishing was the golden giant ape, whose divine might was unparalleled, its dominance over the eight wastelands was incomparable, and its majesty was like the resurrection of the Battle Saint Emperor in his prime.

"Battle Saint Emperor!" Even in the various forbidden zones of life, creatures exclaimed in surprise, recognizing his true form.

This imperial might, once unleashed, was like a tsunami crashing down, seemingly about to cleave through the three thousand realms, covering the sky and the earth, its majestic power shaking the past and present, causing even the saints to tremble in fear.

The Stone Emperor, who had just been making grand pronouncements, was suddenly struck hard. His head was smashed open on the spot by a stick, and his entire skull exploded, with fragments flying everywhere. His broken face was a bloody mess, and the bones in his neck were also broken, leaving him covered in blood and a gruesome sight.

"Battle Saint Emperor?! You monkey should have died long ago!"

The Stone Emperor was also startled, and naturally realized that it was not only the power of the Immortal Iron Cudgel, but also the enormous Holy Ape and the killing formation that followed behind it. Its fur was dazzling, and its body stood tall in the starry sky, shaking the world. It was the one who had struck down with the cudgel.

"He is indeed dead. This is just the lingering fighting spirit left behind by the Battle Saint Emperor after he transformed into a Battle Immortal. It hasn't dissipated and is hidden in this Immortal Iron Rod." The Eternal Heavenly Venerable's eyes gleamed, also quite surprised by this scene.

This shocked everyone. The Battle Saint Emperor of that time was too domineering and ultimately met a tragic end, exploding and dying when he defied the heavens to become a Battle Immortal. His fighting spirit was naturally very strong.

"What? The old Holy Emperor who had passed away has reappeared!"

Many creatures from all races were watching, and upon seeing this scene, they trembled with fear, almost kneeling on the ground and kowtowing. That majestic figure filled them with dread.

Some of them had even met the Fighting Saint Emperor and witnessed his true appearance. When they saw that towering golden figure, they were all stunned.

The Fighting Saint King and the Saint Prince stood there, their expressions dazed, a mixture of nostalgia, joy, and melancholy. After a long while, they finally sighed, for what is gone is gone and can never be brought back.

This could not possibly be the real Fighting Saint Emperor; it was merely the undying fighting spirit left behind during his final battle back then.

"It is indeed very powerful, but it is ultimately just fighting spirit. It can only be manifested a few times before it is completely extinguished!" The Stone Emperor reassembled his head. Although it was not a serious injury, he was still somewhat frustrated by being slapped in the face time and time again. He immediately grabbed the Heavenly Desolate Halberd and charged forward. However, with a loud hum, the Holy Ape swept across with its iron rod and joined forces with Wang Hongwu to attack. The Holy Ape was knocked back, coughing up blood, and his weapon flew out of his hand.

Facing two opponents alone, he could no longer act recklessly. He was repeatedly splattered with blood, forced to retreat, and faced constant danger.

"Though I am old, I am not someone you can bully. Are you trying to force me to reach the pinnacle of my power?" The Stone Emperor was furious. As soon as he had this thought, his aura surged.

Roar!
At that moment, on the other side, the Great Roc Emperor unleashed his power, wielding the God-Slaying Whip and sweeping across the heavens and earth, directly causing the four supreme divine weapons to retreat, develop cracks, and be unable to directly face his ferocious power.

The formidable figure from Burial Sky Island possesses strength that is considered formidable among all those who have attained the Dao.

Seeing this, Wang Hongwu took out a stone coffin and threw it in that direction.

"How dare you!" the Great Roc Emperor rebuked, and swung his God-Slaying Whip, smashing it directly onto the stone coffin.

Boom!
The next moment, the stone coffin did not unleash any forbidden artifact power as everyone expected. Instead, it was just an ordinary coffin and was easily shattered by the God-Slaying Whip.

However, the Great Roc Emperor's expression suddenly hardened, and the divine weapon that should have continued to press down and turn everything into dust actually stopped.

what happened?
Everyone was startled and turned to look at them.

"A dream spanning eternity, the azure sea and sky withered, in this world, is there anyone who still remembers me?"

The next moment, a sigh rang out, and from the shattered stone coffin, a young man dressed in animal skin emerged. His eyes were clear and bright. He carried a hard bow on his back and a stone club in his hand, staring at the Great Roc Emperor.

This is an ancient person, a remnant of the mythical era.

"Interesting. Being able to withstand my attack means you've also touched the realm of the Emperor. I'll give you a chance. State your name!" The Great Roc Emperor looked at him arrogantly, but did not make another move, waiting for the man's response.

The young man glanced at him, then looked at Wang Hongwu, who was fighting against the Stone Emperor. He roughly understood what had happened and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "So it's a new era now. No wonder even an old man like me can't recognize you."

Long ago, I stood in the ancient Heavenly Court, as the First Divine General!
