The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 210 Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, Longevity Celestial Venerable

Woohoo!

Blood rained down between heaven and earth, a dim whirlwind swept across the land, the stars dimmed, and all things wailed.

The universe is filled with strange phenomena of imperial funerals.

A supreme being has fallen, brutally killed until his Dao collapses. Not only was his Dao-proving artifact, a symbol of his glory, shattered by his bare hands, but even his ultimate ascension failed, and he was trampled underfoot.

The Venerable One was too fierce and arrogant. He slaughtered the people of the Primordial Ancient Mine right in front of them, thus fulfilling his arrogant words.

Killing someone on a whim is not a troublesome matter.

Wang Hongwu, with the bearing of a god or demon, stood tall under the starry sky, displaying an invincible aura. He seized the imprint and origin of the Nine-Five Heavenly Venerable and stored it in the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, so that in the future he could guide its Dao traces to reappear and unleash a peak attack.

His nonchalant demeanor, however, was shocking to others, and even the voices within the Primordial Ancient Mine fell silent for a moment.

Because this is a rare occurrence—to slay a supreme being!
The Supreme One was once the Heavenly Venerable, a true Dao Prover, capable of dominating the universe. Even after reaching the pinnacle of his sublimation, the difference between him and his self-severed state was enormous, yet he should not have been so pathetic, defeated so quickly!

In the past, their birth was destined to bring mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and no one could rival them. Few people throughout history could match them. But today, the scene is so tragic, with everything shattered and a young powerhouse killing them to the point of collapse. This scene left the other dormant supreme beings in the ancient mine speechless, their hearts pounding as they thought of their own fate.

Even Chuan Ying, who was in the midst of the great battle, was taken aback. Such strength was too terrifying. He had torn apart a Supreme Being at the eighth level of Quasi-Emperor, causing the Supreme Being to fail in his ascension.

"Whether the ultimate sublimation is successful or not, the difference in strength is indeed vast, at least twice as much. However, the most terrifying thing is still the technique of the Mingzun. That kind of immortal-connecting method far surpasses the forbidden techniques of the ultimate path. No wonder the Nine-Five Heavenly Venerable suffered a crushing defeat." Cao Yusheng understood it better. The difference between immortal techniques and the Heavenly Venerable's methods is naturally huge. In addition, the Supreme Venerable was seriously injured after failing to sublimate, and seized the opportunity to launch a series of attacks until he was killed. That's why the result was so brutal and swift.

If it were to successfully achieve its ultimate sublimation, it would be a different story, a terrifying bloodbath; but the fact that it could use two immortal techniques to destroy an ultimate divine weapon is enough to prove that its physical body is extraordinary, no less than that of an Immortal Golden Saint Spirit or a Chaos Body, and perhaps even stronger in terms of attack.

"Am I seeing things? A supreme being from a forbidden zone has fallen? The ultimate ascension has been interrupted!"

"Just who is this Mingzun? Even without reaching the ultimate sublimation, his strength is terrifying. He probably really has the ability to fight against a sublimated supreme being."

"Is this defying the heavens? He can kill a supreme being at the age of four hundred. How powerful will he be in the future?"

"At such a young age, he can already kill a Supreme Being. If given time to consolidate his power, what heights will he reach? He's only at the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm, not even close to achieving Dao, let alone any other way of achieving Dao!"

Throughout the myriad realms, everyone was shocked; Wang Hongwu's power exceeded all expectations.

"Even in the Hades era, there were no such extraordinary figures." Even some races that had survived since the Hades era were horrified. They had searched through all the historical records and found no record of such brilliance. It was terrifying.

Throughout history, there has never been a shortage of geniuses, but many have failed along the way. It is extremely rare to find someone who advances so rapidly and becomes invincible in the shortest amount of time.

Upon seeing this, the Emperor smiled and clapped his hands, but a heavy cold snort came from within the Primordial Ancient Mine.

Hmph! A chilling aura rose from the depths of the ancient mine. The death of a Supreme Being was the greatest provocation and a disgrace to them—killed right on their doorstep! If they didn't retaliate, wouldn't they appear incompetent?

"What a Heavenly Court, what a great Emperor! If you were allowed to leave peacefully today, how could my Primordial Ancient Mine have a place to stand?"

With a roar, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, ghosts wailed and gods howled, and all sorts of terrifying and bizarre events occurred. However, the next moment, the Emperor stepped forward and directly entered, saying indifferently, "A bunch of cripples. Only with my permission can you have a foothold. You really don't know what's good for you."

Finally, the Emperor made his move. In this era, people finally witnessed his unparalleled abilities. The entire Primordial Ancient Mine was roaring, as if it was about to collapse and explode. Countless ripples spread and surged, shattering the eternal starry sky.

The entire world was shocked. Even with magic arrays and divine eyes, no one could observe this battle. The aftershocks were not even visible. They dared not even imagine a battle of this magnitude.

Finally, the Emperor emerged from the ancient mine with his hands behind his back, his clothes spotless. The materials he needed had been taken out and were arranged around him, still stained with blood, and even bearing a severed hand!
"Your Majesty, your strength is even greater than that of the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao back then."

At this moment, both Beiming Star and the Immortal Tomb were shaken. The two former Heavenly Venerables also witnessed a corner of the battle and couldn't help but become vigilant. At least their opponents were no weaker than them at their peak, but the outcome would have to be decided after the battle.

"Go to Burial Sky Island to retrieve the last medicinal ingredient."

Then the Emperor spoke, and with a flick of his sleeve, the stars shifted and the seven-colored path rushed directly to the infinite heights, all the way to another ancient forbidden zone.

"Wasn't entering the Primordial Ancient Mine enough? Now you've gone to Burial Sky Island? Is the Emperor trying to offend the entire world?"

The crowd was in an uproar. This was too arrogant! They even dared to trespass into the restricted area and force their way in to steal things. Who could tolerate this?

Even if you endure it for now, you will surely be punished in the future. I'm afraid the Emperor's ending will not be good.

Meanwhile, Wang Hongwu and his three companions had already arrived at Burial Sky Island.

This giant island floats in the sky above the Eastern Wilderness, usually hidden in the void and invisible. Its main body is shaped like a giant coffin, while the nine mountain ranges extending out resemble nine true dragons. It is majestic and imposing, extremely powerful and awe-inspiring.

"Your Majesty, what brings you here? We have no old grudges with you like those at the Primordial Ancient Mine." Voices immediately rang out from within the island, after all, the arrival of four imperial figures brought considerable pressure.

The Emperor remained silent. Chuan Ying stepped forward and said, "We have come here to obtain elixirs and medicinal herbs, which are only available on your Burial Sky Island."

As for the deal and the benefits, he didn't mention a word. The Heavenly Court came to seize it; this is the 'privilege and willfulness' of the current Heavenly Venerable.

"We have the goods, and we are willing to support the Heavenly Court. We only hope that both sides can remain at peace." In the end, the divine thoughts within Burial Sky Island intertwined, and a consensus was reached. They directly sent out the precious medicine, unwilling to start a war.

"Hehe, you guys are much more perceptive than the ancient mine. They won't bother with you even if they deal with them." Cao Yusheng laughed and took the medicinal herbs. Now that all the materials for the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill were gathered, they could start refining the pill and create an unprecedented golden age.

Wang Hongwu glanced into the depths of the island, his Nine Dragons Coffin within his body trembling slightly. He inexplicably felt that this place would be very beneficial to him. It was a pity that these Supreme Beings were too cautious, otherwise he could have really broken in and taken a look.

After venturing into two forbidden zones, the Emperor obtained what he desired and immediately returned home, heading straight for the Heavenly Court.

"The Heavenly Court is immortal, the Venerable One is a celestial being, for all eternity!"

The celestial soldiers and generals stretched as far as the eye could see, their metal armor gleaming, their swords and halberds flashing coldly – ​​this was an elite force, the kings of a hundred battles.

Their shouts and cries shook all the stars and myriad realms. Everyone fell silent, for the Emperor had already proven himself with his strength, suppressing the two oldest forbidden zones to the point of having no temper.

From this day forward, the Heavenly Court will truly be in its most glorious period.

"Today, I, the Venerable One, begin the alchemy process. After eighty-one days, the elixir will be complete, marking the beginning of the plan for the entire sect to ascend to immortality."

Within the Heavenly Court, the Emperor's grand voice resounded, announcing the imminent unfolding of his ambitious plan to lead his entire sect to immortality.

"Hmm, I need to get busy too. I still need to research how to forge immortal artifacts. This is quite a troublesome matter. My good disciple's original Myriad Origin Cauldron is quite good. With some methods, it might be possible to transform it into an immortal artifact. Let me think, that mountain of the Kunlun Immortal Clan is quite good." Cao Yusheng muttered to himself as he went about his business.

"It seems I'll be busy from now on, with no shortage of battles. That's fine, it'll make it easier for me to ascend to the Nine Heavens." Wang Hongwu nodded slightly, as if he could already see the endless battles to come.

It wasn't until eighty-one days later that a beam of celestial light shone brightly in the Heavenly Court. One by one, pills flew up like living beings, manifesting into nine different forms of beings, changing back and forth, each appearing exceptionally different.

The fragrance and the feeling of longevity swept through the entire Heavenly Court, making everyone take a deep breath. They felt light and airy, as if they were about to fly to the heavens at any moment.

"The Nine-Turn Immortal Pill is complete!" Chuan Ying exclaimed. Only the Celestial Venerable Lingbao had ever refined a few of these pills in the past, and even then, it took him many lifetimes to gather the necessary materials. The Emperor Venerable, however, completed it in a single lifetime—truly a marvel. "What a wonderful thing! It can extend a Celestial Venerable's lifespan by one lifetime. Even if one were to sever their own Supreme status, consuming it could repair the cracks in their Immortal Platform and restore their peak Emperor lifespan for two thousand years," Cao Yusheng also rushed back, clapping and cheering.

Most importantly, this pill remains effective even after consuming elixirs of immortality and divine essence!
On the day the elixir was completed, the Primordial Ancient Mine, the Immortal Tomb, Burial Sky Island, and Earth all cast their gazes upon it with burning desire and greed.

But the next moment, the Emperor appeared, his domineering aura suppressing the entire scene, shattering those gazes and divine thoughts, and sweeping everything away.

With a flick of his sleeve, three golden pills landed in Wang Hongwu's hands. He looked towards the edge of the universe and said, "I'll trouble you, Venerable Mingzun, to make this trip. Keep one pill for yourself; and send the other two to the two Heavenly Venerables in the Immortal Tomb and the Northern Underworld Star. They are the ones who created the Nine Secrets, so it would be good to invite them to become immortals and assist you."

"The Celestial Venerable of Longevity and the Celestial Venerable of Freedom? The Celestial Venerable of Suppressing Hell is probably in the Underworld right now. I wonder if he has a share of the Golden Pill." Wang Hongwu's thoughts drifted. He took the Golden Pill, nodded, and headed towards the Immortal Tomb.

Normally, once a supreme being knows the effects of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, no one would refuse it; it would simply be a formality, a show of respect, and a brief exchange of blows. But the intriguing thing is that these two people are at odds with him.

Xianling is a mysterious ancient site where, according to legend, immortals are buried.

This place has large hills and stone tablets, all of which are extremely tall, resembling ancient tombs. The tallest of them are as high as the sky. It is shrouded in gray, devoid of any vegetation, and desolation and tranquility are its eternal themes.

Over the long years, countless lives have been lost here. As you can see, there are many skeletons in front of the tombstones, a thick layer of them.

"It is somewhat different from later generations." Wang Hongwu surveyed this ancient land, strolling with his hands behind his back. A crimson-gold road extended and spread out from beneath his feet, with boundless flames and chaotic energy dancing together, making it appear even more magnificent than this ancient land.

The area was shrouded in celestial mist, and several lush plots of land exuded vitality, with the faint fragrance of celestial herbs wafting out – the dwelling place of creatures from the forbidden zone!

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived, a supreme divine sense appeared within the Immortal Tomb, seemingly assessing his purpose for arriving.

Amidst the drifting gray mist, this divine thought materialized into human form and arrived high in the sky, far away, with a cold gaze.

He stared at Wang Hongwu for a long while before asking, "Your Excellency, what brings you here?"

"Chang Sheng Tian Zun, I have come to find you, to bestow upon you a fortuitous opportunity, which you will receive upon your birth." Wang Hongwu spoke calmly. Currently, only Chang Sheng Tian Zun remains within the Immortal Tomb, a forbidden zone he himself created. The other supreme beings are mostly located in the Primordial Ancient Mine and Burial Island, as the unique terrain is beneficial to their slumber.

good fortune?

Upon hearing this, and considering the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill that had previously appeared, the Supreme Being was no fool and naturally understood the meaning behind it.

But to bring them into the world based on just one sentence seems too frivolous; that's impossible.

A slight silence fell over the Immortal Tomb, then a voice rang out softly, "To grant someone birth with mere words, do you take the Supreme Being for a three-year-old child? Just say what you have to say, don't waste my time."

"That won't do. If you don't come out into the world, it will be difficult for me to deal with you. What are you doing hiding in there? Since when did turtles become a symbol of immortality?" Wang Hongwu's expression was frivolous, and his smile was playful. He was completely provoking this Heavenly Venerable and had no intention of speaking properly.

Upon hearing this, the divine sense within the Immortal Tomb turned icy. "Young man, you think you're invincible just because you killed an ordinary Supreme? I've killed others before, it's nothing to brag about."

"If you don't come out, I'm going to come in and find you." Wang Hongwu ignored what he was saying and stepped inside, ready to attack.

"Truly, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger." A voice rang out from within the Immortal Tomb, and soon a finger emerged from it, pure white and flawless, shaped like gleaming gold, yet enormous and boundless, like a pillar supporting the sky collapsing down.

With a sneer, Wang Hongwu also pointed out with one finger, and a crimson gold, like phoenix blood, soared into the sky.

boom!
The void trembled, and the two fingers struck each other, shattering countless ripples of the Great Dao, a truly terrifying sight.

This test made the Lord of the Immortal Tomb realize the strength of the newcomer; he knew he couldn't deal with them without revealing himself.

If we were to let them break in like this, we would truly lose face.

"Forcing me to be born is not a good decision; you will regret it."

As a former Celestial Venerable, he was naturally not a hesitant person. He immediately split open his immortal source, revealing his true form, and unparalleled immortal light that dominated the world emanated from between his eyebrows.

Then, a being emerged from the Immortal Tomb, shrouded in a clear light, obscuring its true form. Its blood energy was unparalleled in its time, and even a wisp of it emanated from it, shaking the universe and tearing open countless great rifts.

This doesn't seem like an existence that has paid a huge price and is now almost decaying. He is still incredibly powerful and has an invincible influence in this human world.

"This is his first time emerging since his self-inflicted death, and he's in pretty good shape." Wang Hongwu still had the leisure to comment, quite composed about the battle. The immortals of later generations died at his hands, and seeing him again now evoked a unique feeling.

“Young man, confidence is a good thing, but excessive arrogance will only lead to an early death. If the Emperor himself came here, I would still give him some face, but you are not good enough.” The Lord of the Immortal Tomb wore a purple-gold crown and a Taoist robe, obscuring his true face. His gray-brown hair was draped over his chest and back, and his eyes held the image of the destruction of the sun, moon and stars.

This was a Taoist priest, holding a celestial sword in his hand. His unparalleled aura startled the Nine Heavens. He had only been born once, yet a certain domain naturally unfolded beneath his feet, drawing boundless essence from the void. Around his body, auspicious clouds rolled in, celestial mist surged, and the rich essence of heaven and earth transformed into liquid.

This place is an extraordinary sight. All the plants and trees are growing wildly. Dead trees are coming back to life, and seeds are sprouting. Even in the distance, on the towering snow-capped mountains, various plants and trees are pushing through the ice and snow, blooming and bearing fruit, exuding a vigorous life force.

The secret of the character "者"? The Eternal Life Celestial Venerable!

In an instant, all the experts in the world sensed it and looked over. It was one of the nine Heavenly Venerables of the past, who had now actually appeared in the world.
The one who fought him was none other than the Heavenly Court's Bright Lord, who had killed the Ancient Mine Supreme and was currently enjoying great popularity!
"Interesting. I'll be able to watch the spectacle of immortality unfold." On the Northern Star, a pair of silver eyes lit up, also watching this battle closely.

"The Nine Heavenly Venerables? I've been wanting to learn from them." Wang Hongwu looked down on the forbidden area, his aura soaring with every step, his invincible spirit undisguised. His golden pupils glowed, and with a roar, even the Immortal Mausoleum cracked, and billions of light-years of starry sky sank and fell.

A red sun and a white moon appeared on his body, and a vast chaotic energy spread out. An aura belonging to a master of the imperial path suddenly erupted, and he directly raised his fist to attack the Celestial Venerable of Immortality.

"Oh? This physical body truly delights this humble Daoist! It has been too long since I created the Secret of the Character 'Zhe', my physical body and blood energy have been invincible in the world, and now I finally have a worthy opponent!" Unexpectedly, the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable laughed heartily, extremely excited, and without even using his sword, he pounded out with both fists!

His physical body erupted with overwhelming blood energy, making him one of the strongest among all those who had attained enlightenment. This was because the "Zhe" Secret was not only a sacred healing technique, but also a supreme secret method for strengthening the body's origin and increasing vitality and blood energy! How could a Celestial Venerable who created such a near-immortal technique possibly have a weak physique?

Boom!
As the two exchanged blows, the Emperor's Dao Patterns and the Heavenly Venerable Seal continuously appeared, capable of instantly sealing all stars and myriad realms and suppressing all living beings.

If they were to go on a killing spree, not a single human being in the universe could survive; they would be slaughtered to the last man. The difference in power is truly immeasurable.

The heavens and earth trembled, ghosts wailed and gods howled; the battle at this level was unimaginable, causing the Great Dao to roar and the laws to intertwine, impacting like a heavenly tribulation.

"What a powerful physical body! Even without sublimation, it possesses supreme divine might. No wonder it is the one with the strongest primordial vitality among the nine Heavenly Venerables." On the Northern Star, a Supreme Being observed and then said in surprise, "What kind of physique does this Bright Venerable have? His cultivation at the eighth level of Heaven is enough to fight so fiercely with the Longevity. It seems to be a Chaos Body, but there are some differences. It's really interesting."

"The Mingzun has already clashed with the Changsheng Tianzun. These two are truly evenly matched, each trying to subdue the other physically. This battle is likely to be quite fierce. I wonder if His Majesty will intervene." Inside the Heavenly Court, Chuan Ying was also watching the battle, even poised to rush out and help at any moment.

Cao Yusheng, who was standing nearby, comforted him, "Don't worry, Mingzun's strength is greater than you think. Besides, this is just a test; they won't kill you."

Despite his words, the shockwaves from the great battle emanating from the universe were no small matter; in fact, they intensified, reaching all the stars and realms, leaving them in awe and horror.

This battle sent shivers down the spines of all living beings. The physical bodies of the two imperial venerables clashed, as if two gods were creating the world.

Around them, star fields were indeed being opened up one after another!
