The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 209 Ancient Mine Storm, Slaughtering the Supreme!

The Primordial Mine, a place steeped in history, is even older than the Chaotic Era, extending into the mythological age.

The four powerful figures arrived from the Heavenly Court and set foot in this world without any concealment, which awakened the beings sleeping deep in the ancient mine and drew their attention.

"What is he doing here, the one who founded the Heavenly Court?"

"Having lived a second life, I boast of my invincible combat power, but this place is not for just anyone to set foot in. There was once a Heavenly Court here, but unfortunately, it too has collapsed!"

"Just watch, does he really dare to do anything?"

Divine thoughts intertwine within the ancient mine, and many beings reside here. There are revered figures from the mythical era who entered by severing their own flesh, as well as spirits from ancient corpses, or simply old monsters clinging to life.

Since ancient times, no enlightened being has ever dared to invade this place, not even the Nine Heavenly Venerables!
"This area is really familiar." As they walked into the ancient mine, Cao Yusheng felt a strange sense of emotion. Wang Hongwu remained silent, but he discovered many strange things in the ancient mine. They were not man-made, but naturally formed. He saw countless heavenly soldiers and generals heading away on an ancient road. It looked very strange because the clothing was not the Heavenly Court clothing created by the Emperor. It was much older!
The path led into the void, and it was a broken path, accompanied by chaos. The ancient soldiers, clad in cold armor, trod on the broken path, amidst the chaos, until they disappeared.

As they ventured deeper, they encountered a humanoid being, incredibly old, dressed in a Taoist robe, with white hair cascading to the ground. It seemed to possess a spirit; the moment it opened its eyes, its aura surged to the heavens, its divine light blazing like a raging fire that engulfed the entire vast sky. Even at the entrance of the Primordial Ancient Mine, terrifying beams of light swept across, their brilliant glow illuminating the darkness.

Wang Hongwu raised his hand and pressed down, and all the strange phenomena disappeared. The humanoid creature was forced back by him, its eyes closed, and it sat down on the ground with a thud. He also forcibly pulled out some kind of driving divine thought from its body.

"A mere trick." He commented casually, then crushed the wisp of divine thought with a pinch of his five fingers. The humanoid creature then stopped moving. It was an ancient corpse that had been dead for countless years, only driven by divine thought to test them.

"Is placing a royal corpse here meant to intimidate us?!" Chuan Ying's eyes narrowed sharply, and he was about to go up and destroy it, but Cao Yusheng stopped him and scolded, "This is a treasure delivered to our door, why waste it? Even if its essence dissipates, it's still good to use it as a material for refining weapons."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and collected the imperial corpse, intending to study it.

"Don't cause any corpse disaster," Wang Hongwu warned, before stepping deeper into the forbidden zone. The depths of this restricted area were neither mines nor a pure land, but rather a grand building, an incredibly oppressive and pitch-black place.

A dark ancient building stands tall, inside which one can vaguely see pieces of immortal energy rising and falling. Although they are close to each other, they are actually separated by a starry sky, a cosmic isolation that has evolved on its own.

Huh? Upon seeing this building, Cao Yusheng immediately became interested again and went forward to explore it. He was very curious about what era it was built in and how such a thing could be found in an ancient mine.
Just then, from the deepest part of the ancient mine, a huge golden beam of light shot out, traversing the universe and cutting the area in two, blocking the way for everyone. This was demarcation, and then a voice said, "Emperor, you have come here in such a grand manner, aggressively trying to seize my Dao Corpse. Have you crossed the line?"

The Emperor remained silent, but Chuan Ying stepped forward and said, "What kind of bullshit Dao Corpse is this! It is clearly something you sent to block our way. Now our Heavenly Court wants to refine the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill and has come here to collect a material. We hope you can cooperate."

"Refine Nine-Turn Immortal Pill? You're just being silly. There's nothing here that you want. Even if there were, it wouldn't be so easy to give it to you. You'd have to share some of our Golden Cores first."

"You think you can just give it to me like that? This is the Primordial Ancient Mine, not a charity hall. If all the Dao-proving beings from past generations came here asking for things, what would become of us?"

"Back then, the Emperor was so arrogant and domineering. Didn't he target our Primordial Ancient Mine? Why is he begging us for help now?"

The Primordial Ancient Mine has a long-standing grudge against the Heavenly Court, but at this moment it is met with ridicule. Since the Emperor has lived his second life, he has basically never made a move, and no one knows his true strength. The forbidden area, relying on the gathering of the imperial forces, will naturally not compromise easily.

Interesting. Are all the restricted areas so hot-tempered these days? Wang Hongwu watched the show with great interest, and he was also eager to test his skills. He couldn't wait to find someone to practice with and verify his current combat strength.

The Emperor remained silent, but made a simple gesture: he stepped forward, crushing the golden line drawn by the Lord of the Ancient Mine, and then trampled it across completely, treading on the other's territory. His gaze calmly fixed on the depths, a single action representing his will.

Even if you don't want to give it, you have to give it.

Otherwise, he'll try to steal it!
Seeing this, Cao Yusheng chuckled twice and stepped forward, saying, "You've misunderstood. We're not here to discuss this with you. You have to give it to us whether you want to or not! We'll beat you until you give it to us, it doesn't matter."

"What an arrogant guy! He's only lived a second life, and he thinks he's invincible? What a joke! It's not like no one has ever done it before!"

"You are too arrogant! Do you want us to suppress you and destroy the Heavenly Court?"

The ancient mine trembled, and waves of supreme aura surged forth. As the divine sense swept out, a supreme avatar was vaguely about to be born to fight against the Emperor.

Then a voice rang out from the deepest part of the ancient mine: "Young man, I am older than you and more ancient than this era. How dare you put on airs here!"

There, a pair of eyes shone, deep and ancient, like a condensed ocean, unfathomable. Upon closer inspection, they revealed a scene of cosmic destruction, the collapse of heavens, the creation of the world, and the birth of all living beings, unlike the creatures of this era.

That gaze was unsettling, as if one were facing an ancient being from the dawn of time.

"Is that so?" The Emperor spoke lightly, his hands behind his back as he approached, looking down into the depths of the ancient mine. "Turtles can live a long life, but a human can crush them with a single foot. In front of me, a turtle that lives a long time is useless!"

"Insolence!" A furious shout rang out, and suddenly the wind and thunder roared across the heavens and earth. The cold wind howled, and divine thunder rolled, as if the phantom of an immortal had descended to the mortal realm, slaughtering all around. The scene was so tragic that it sent chills down one's spine. In an instant, it seemed as if a sword had been drawn from its sheath and unleashed, causing the clouds to tremble and slaying all living beings, besieging the Milky Way. The killing intent of that sword was too heavy; it was an unparalleled divine law condensed by the Lord of the Ancient Mine.

"How dare you!" However, the Emperor simply reached out and crushed it, not taking it seriously at all.

At the same time, a supreme avatar emerged from the ancient mine, carrying a killing formation and an ultimate divine weapon, ready to make a move; Chuan Ying rushed over directly, and a battle broke out with a swing of his stone club.

"Dare to show your face, and you'll die."

Wang Hongwu went even further, fixing his gaze on another restless force within the ancient mine. He raised his hand and pointed at it, declaring his intention to kill!

This surprised Cao Yusheng. He hadn't expected that this mysterious Mingzun would also have such a bad temper and be so domineering.

"Are you threatening me?" Even the Supreme Being in the ancient mine laughed in anger. Even the Emperor Venerable had never been so arrogant!

Who is he? More arrogant than the Emperor? Anyone who dares to show their face will die?
Who dares to be so arrogant towards the Supreme Being? Never before has anyone done so! To actually dare to intimidate a former Venerable One, their audacity is beyond measure. You must know that the Supreme Beings were all enlightened beings in the past, each one of them was unparalleled in the universe, their arrogance soaring to the clouds.
Even the nine Heavenly Venerables of the past were never so arrogant and domineering, yet now a four-hundred-year-old young man dares to ride on their heads and shit on them.
How arrogant and presumptuous!

"You insolent brat! I have been lying dormant for countless ages and have never made a move. Today I will emerge and slay you!" Then the ancient mine shook violently, and a god-like aura erupted, shaking the heavens and the earth, sweeping across billions of light-years. A piece of immortal source cracked open, and a figure emerged from it, holding a huge seal in his hand, with nine golden dragons wrapped around it. It was actually forged from Dao Tribulation Gold.

In an instant, his aura subsided, with only the crown of his head radiating a soaring light that pierced through the heavens. The aura he emitted was exceptionally powerful, even more terrifying than the Supreme Dharma Body that fought against Chuan Ying.

"It's been too long. How many tens of thousands of years have I been out of the world? The sea has turned into mulberry fields, and the world has changed." This ancient mine supreme being stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, as if he was reminiscing about his glorious past. Seeing the light of day again made him feel as if he had been through another world.

At this moment, his every move made the heavens and earth tremble. With just one step, a golden road appeared beneath his feet, leading directly to Wang Hongwu. He intended to kill this guy who challenged his imperial majesty, drink his essence and blood to nourish himself.

"What are you pretending for? There are plenty of turtles in shallow ponds." Wang Hongwu scoffed. In the Primordial Era, being able to fight was more important than being able to survive. Unfortunately, he was both very good at fighting and very good at surviving! With a loud hum, he raised his hand and struck out. It was as if a chaotic ancestral god had created the world and broken free. The life force of the attack shook the primordial world violently, and all the stars and myriad realms trembled.

"Having repeatedly humiliated the Supreme One, your life is already withered. Like a flickering candle in the wind, you are now raging and your life will end today!" The Ancient Mine Supreme One roared and threw a punch. Behind him, boundless strange phenomena appeared, with countless golden dragons of the Imperial Way circling around him. A suit of dragon scale armor shone on his body, making him appear like a supreme being of the Nine Heavens, dominating everything, and forcefully confronting Wang Hongwu.

The two exchanged blows, their fists and palms clashing, the myriad laws of nature crashing together like raging waves, creating and destroying each other, with dazzling light constantly scattering, like celestial flowers blooming, each one extremely splendid.

"Eighth level of Quasi-Emperor?" "What's going on? He hasn't even achieved Dao yet! How can he have such strength!" "Strange, what kind of physique does he have?"

"Such a powerful physique! This kind of body gives me a sense of otherworldly strength. What's going on?"

After their auras were revealed during the exchange, the Supreme Beings were surprised. This was not an unconventional Daoist who had only reached the eighth level of the Dao, yet he was able to fight against the Supreme Beings and possess the combat power of an Emperor. This was truly unbelievable.

On the battlefield, two figures clashed fiercely, shattering the thirty-three heavens above and reaching the nine netherworlds below. The clash of supreme beings caused the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth to groan in despair. All spirits revered them, and all races of the myriad stars and domains were forced to submit. Wang Hongwu's powerful conquest was extremely proactive, and his attacks even showed a tendency to overwhelm the Ancient Mine Supreme.

"What a junior! Do you think you can take advantage of my old age and frailty? Back when I reigned supreme, your ancestors weren't even born yet!" Ancient Mine Supreme roared, dissatisfied with being suppressed by a junior. He used his forbidden domain to revive the myriad Dao traces of the past, making him the supreme ruler of heaven and earth!
In an instant, the dragon roared at dawn, and the phoenix cried in the heavens. At this moment, nine true dragons burst forth from the body of the Ancient Mine Supreme, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. There were also five phoenixes with bright and brilliant feathers. A terrifying aura permeated the air, crushing the sky. These immortal spirits surrounded him, as if supporting an emperor. The nine dragons and five phoenixes demonstrated the power of the supreme ruler!

"It's him, the former Supreme Heavenly Emperor?"

"Isn't it said that a person who was well-versed in the Dragon and Phoenix Techniques saw the relics of immortals before he passed away? It seems that this is just a common misconception."

Within Burial Sky Island, several divine senses swept over and recognized this person's background. Although not as powerful as the Nine Heavenly Venerables, he was still one of the Venerables, a standard enlightened being.

"It's just a forbidden domain, nothing special." Wang Hongwu also unleashed a forbidden technique, activating the Extreme Character Secret. Around him, countless divine runes, all flowers of the Great Dao, rapidly bloomed. Each flower was a flawless technique, a sublimated and complete move, interconnected to form a boundless sea of ​​Great Dao flowers, enveloping the Nine Dragons and Five Phoenixes.

Why does it feel like the Nine Secrets?! The Nine-Five Heavenly Venerable was startled, but the pride of a Dao Prover meant he had no reason to back down. He directly clashed with them. Between them, the materialized trajectories of the Great Dao collided, their auras overwhelming the heavens and the earth. They did not destroy all things and rivers and mountains, but they could sweep across the human world.

Ultimate God War!

The entire universe resonated with it, and all the paths roared. Everyone was stunned and looked towards that area, hardly able to believe what they were seeing.

"In the direction of the Primordial Ancient Mine, supreme figures are engaged in a fierce battle!"

"The person who made the move came from the Heavenly Court, but I've never heard of him before. Just who is he?"

Now, people have personally experienced that people of this caliber are waging a war with unparalleled might.

"Having lived through countless lifetimes, I long to kill a Supreme Being." Wang Hongwu sighed softly, but his words were shocking and even made the Ancient Mine Supreme Being somewhat terrified. He sensed that the other party's aura was still rising and soaring, and soon it reached a state of ultimate sublimation.

"You!" the Heavenly Venerable exclaimed in shock, only to see that the other party had already raised his arms, and the roar of a true dragon and the cry of a celestial phoenix resounded throughout the universe. He hurriedly unleashed his seal, which transformed into nine golden dragons that lunged at him, while five silver phoenixes flapped their wings and attacked. All the myriad paths turned into chains that suppressed them. But then Wang Hongwu clenched his fists, unleashing his Immortal Dao Scattered Hand technique. Dragons and phoenixes flew together, shattering the myriad chains and turning the nine golden dragons and five silver phoenixes into a pulp from head to toe.

"You dare call yourself 'Nine-Five'? You dare use the Dragon and Phoenix!" With Wang Hongwu's Dragon Fist and Phoenix Palm strikes, a loud bang resounded, and the Supreme Dao Seal was shattered by his fists. The surging fist power transformed into a dragon and phoenix intertwining and flying, pulling out the artifact spirit and tearing it to pieces.

Destroy the ultimate divine weapon with bare hands!

Pfft! The Nine-Five Heavenly Venerable coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggered back, and looked shocked. He never expected that his artifact for proving his Dao would be smashed by a single punch!
Not to mention the other figures in the ancient mine, Chuan Ying, and Cao Yusheng were shocked, even the Emperor looked over, revealing surprise and admiration. This encounter with the Bright Venerable was a huge boost for the Heavenly Court.

Under this pressure, the Nine-Five Heavenly Venerable became increasingly frustrated as the fight progressed. He was actually retreating, not out of fear of death. As supreme emperors, they had no concept of cowardice or weakness. They all had an invincible belief and firmly believed that they were the strongest in the mortal world. But at this moment, he was being beaten back by the young man surrounded by the sun and moon, forced to retreat through one sea of ​​stars after another.

"Upgrade to the ultimate level, I will slay you!" The Nine-Five Heavenly Venerable roared, and a brilliant flame suddenly ignited on the Immortal Platform between his brows. Unprecedented and unparalleled, he was about to return to the ultimate Dao position. All the Daos resonated with him, wanting to unite with him and propelling the return of an ancient venerable.

"Do you have the qualifications to reach the pinnacle of enlightenment before me?" Wang Hongwu sneered. As he circulated the Eight-Nine Heavenly Technique, the characteristics of the five immortal spirits merged into one, causing his power to shatter the heavens and earth. His combat strength soared once again, and his three pairs of immortal wings illuminated the universe with dazzling brilliance.

True Phoenix Burning Heaven Technique! He unleashed a punch, and a deadly immortal move suddenly appeared. The boundless five-colored divine fire gathered into a phoenix shadow and shot out. The power of the Heavenly Phoenix was extremely fast, striking his immortal platform at the crucial moment of the Nine-Five Heavenly Venerable's ascension.

In that instant, the killing move was unleashed, splattering supreme blood, causing the entire universe to wail and tremble. Heaven and earth trembled, and even the gods seemed to be terrified. Continuous rain of blood poured down, and within the bloody light, crystalline petals danced, creating an extremely eerie scene.

Ah! In that moment of ultimate sublimation, Wang Hongwu seized upon this loophole and forcefully struck the Nine-Five Heavenly Venerable, knocking him out of this state. His exposed primordial spirit was severely injured, burning up and almost disintegrating.

He had done this twice before, so he was quite adept at it. This supreme being was also undergoing the ultimate ascension for the first time, so naturally he couldn't escape his clutches.

"Sever my path to ascension?" The Celestial Venerable's platform cracked, and he suffered such a severe injury that he almost collapsed. However, he saw Wang Hongwu spread his Kunpeng wings and kill him right in front of him. He had no choice but to forcefully use the laws of the Imperial Dao to resist. In an instant, the heavens and earth were split open and all the Daos were torn apart. The wonderful techniques between the two collided and surged continuously, annihilating each other and creating a terrifying spectacle.

In the end, with a deafening roar, accompanied by the mournful cries of heaven and earth, a supreme being was shattered to pieces, his blood splattering in the Primordial Ancient Mine, and was blown apart by a pair of fists entwined with immortal spirits!

The fluctuations were terrifying beyond measure; the blood-red light illuminated the universe in an instant, and the four corners of the earth and the eight directions were all bathed in crimson light, leaving all living beings speechless and trembling in shock.

The scale of the attack was truly astounding; its intensity was unparalleled and beyond anything people could even imagine.

The next moment, the universe seemed to stand still, falling into a deathly silence, without a sound, and all things withered.

"Playing dead? You think you can fool me? What a joke!" Then a cold voice rang out, and Wang Hongwu once again ruthlessly attacked, forcibly grabbing a silhouette from the shattered body. The Supreme Being originally wanted to undergo Nirvana to heal his injuries, but now that it had been interrupted, he had no choice but to use a secret technique to escape, rebuild his Supreme Being body in the distance, and rejoin the battle.

Although he was killed once, the body of the Celestial Venerable is almost indestructible. The Nine-Five Celestial Venerable quickly reappeared and was still able to fight. However, the difference between his self-severance and his ultimate sublimation of combat power was too great. Even though he reassembled his physical body, he was being suppressed and could not raise his head.

"So weak. Without sublimation, there's no point in watching." Wang Hongwu sneered, his terrifying aura erupting and shocking the human realm. He once again unleashed the Immortal Dao Scattered Hand, which far surpassed the Extreme Dao Killing Technique. The Nine-Five Heavenly Venerable sensed something was wrong, and then saw the opponent spread his Kunpeng Wings, as if reversing the river of time, and instantly arrive in front of him, colliding fiercely. In just one exchange, the opponent tore off one of his arms, and the shock caused half of his body to explode.

At this moment, the Supreme Being was terrified. Even after his ascension, he was no more than this. But Wang Hongwu did not stop. He clenched his five fingers tightly, which immediately generated a huge suction force, turning all spiritual bodies and powers in this world into the rules of the Dao, turning everything into traces of the Dao, into lines that traversed the void and connected together to form ten thousand brilliant Dao trajectories.

"Single-handedly performing the myriad paths?" The Supreme Beings were astonished. Upon seeing this scene, they all thought of the myriad paths that accompany one after attaining enlightenment. This punch also had a similar charm and feeling, except that it was performing an alternative myriad paths, which were endless.

The Myriad Paths Fist! In the next moment, Wang Hongwu made a domineering move, and Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the prototype of the universe, and the Nine Dragons Coffin all flew out and merged into it, evolving into an unparalleled killing move. It directly arrived in front of the Nine-Five Heavenly Venerable. The Kunpeng's extreme speed left him no possibility of dodging. Those fists, which contained the myriad paths, directly and mercilessly smashed into his Immortal Platform.

Boom! Ten thousand paths trembled violently, burning fiercely. Accompanied by the unleashing of supreme fist power, the supreme being was brutally killed, his bones and blood shattered, and even his primordial spirit exploded.

"You! I failed to ascend, I am not reconciled!" The Supreme Remnant roared, feeling extremely frustrated and angry, yet powerless, because he really couldn't do anything to his opponent. The opponent was too powerful, no less than his own strength after reaching the ultimate ascension. On the other hand, he himself failed to ascend, which was a huge flaw. Once it was seized, he would naturally be bombarded to death with a series of killing moves.

Most importantly, the opponent's methods were far more lethal than his own forbidden techniques, completely disparate and overwhelming!
"Trash, even if you ascend, you'll still die." Wang Hongwu replied indifferently, flicking his finger and a burst of immortal light shattered his last wisp of remnant will, thus ending his life and annihilation.

Slaughtering the Supreme!

The Emperor displays his power and bullies those in restricted areas.

At this moment, everyone in the myriad realms who sensed this scene was dumbfounded and stunned. What had they just witnessed?
A supreme being was born, only to have his proof artifact destroyed by someone's bare hands, and then be beaten to death!
