The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 248 Warriors Cross the Mortal World, Two Emperors Appear
In the mortal world, they fight to become immortals!
A grand sound resounded from the ends of the earth, and terrifying blood energy seemed to burst through the outer star sea, compressing the entire universe.

That was an unusual phenomenon, not a true leakage of blood energy. Otherwise, even a small amount would have caused the entire universe to collapse, the stars and the earth to sink, and all living beings to explode.

Thump! The entire vast universe shook, and all things cried out in agony.

"May the Martial Emperor reign for ten thousand generations, ten thousand generations, ten thousand generations!"

At this moment, countless beings knelt down and worshipped in that direction. All those who kowtowed, all those who were devout, and all those who chanted the name of Emperor Wu were relieved of their fear and returned to peace.

As they chanted, the collective power of all beings converged, and at the distant horizon, a colossal figure appeared, transforming into a war immortal, a blurry blur. He looked down upon all beings from the heavens above, raised his fist, and blasted it outwards from the universe, breaking the shackles and forging a path against the heavens.

"Emperor Wu!"

At this moment, even the ancient emperors within the Celestial Court couldn't help but tremble, feeling a terrifying power. It was truly invincible in heaven and earth, and was actually going to become an immortal in the end times!

Without treading the path to immortality, without ascending to the immortal realm, without entering the land of eternal life, without needing the right time or the right place, one can directly blast the heavens with sheer force and become an immortal through battle!

In that instant, within the strange world, a figure opened his eyes, gazed at this place, and couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of you, brother."

In the chaotic sea, a man sitting alone turned his head and looked at the nine heavens and ten earths. Before him, a world stained with pitch-black matter was being melted down. He paused slightly, then said, "Impressive. After I cleanse these corrupt sacrifices, I will come to find you."

Beyond the universe, Wang Hongwu manifested his immortal ancestral body, a towering immortal golden immortal spirit immortal seed body that filled the heavens and earth, as if the ancestor of all gods had descended to earth. Countless celestial structures appeared, interspersed among his hair and floating on his fingertips, while the four extreme universes revolved around him.

His figure was blurry, exuding an aura of ancient vicissitudes, as if he lived in the past and was fighting towards the future!
Boom! With a single tremor, he triggered a dramatic change that affected the entire universe. This was the end of the Dharma era, and the consequences of becoming an immortal were unimaginable. This directly impacted the entire universe. At this moment, countless colorful clouds and celestial flowers fell, and golden lotuses bloomed from the ground, accompanied by the trickling of divine springs. The various phenomena were beyond description, and the entire world was sacred.

Above his head, a battle immortal formed from essence, energy, and spirit emerged, majestic and domineering, standing tall in the universe overlooking eternity, exuding a terrifying fighting spirit that moved even the Heavenly Tyrant Bloodline, causing them to quietly ponder that this also seemed to be an unparalleled path.

"From the prehistoric era, through mythology, to the ancient times, and now to the desolate past, an immortal being has attained the Dao of Battle Immortal in an age when it was impossible to become an immortal. How strong must his power be? It must far surpass that of other true immortals!"

In this strange world, some beings noticed this scene and were greatly surprised after consulting ancient books. They were astonished that such a terrifying being had been born in the human world.
Within the Celestial Court, Lingbao and Wuji are closely watching. Once they become immortals, they will no longer have to worry about the erosion of time and can live forever between heaven and earth.

This is of great significance to the Celestial Court. If one can live forever and coexist with the world, it means that the Celestial Court's lineage can be immortal!

"Emperor Wu is about to become an immortal!"

"That's no ordinary immortal, it's a battle immortal, one who became an immortal through battle, far more terrifying than the Fighting Saint Emperor back then."

"This is a miracle! Another immortal after the Chaotic Ancient Heavenly Emperor! This is the Battle Immortal Crossing the Mortal World!"

Throughout the myriad realms of the stars, all living beings were deeply moved, uttering a multitude of words in astonishment, with no time to ponder.

Because they are witnessing a miracle, a myth.

A true immortal is about to appear.

The magnificent feat of the Emperor's entire sect's ascension to immortality, which had failed in the past, has now been accomplished by someone else single-handedly.

He is immortal in the nine heavens and one in ten lands; the ancient era will be eternally glorious because of him.

Boom!

Then a terrifying bolt of lightning struck, silencing everyone once again. The lightning was so terrifying that even from an infinite distance, it still made people's hearts tremble and their hearts tremble with fear.

This is no ordinary tribulation to become an immortal; it is a tribulation to fight against immortals.

The mere appearance of the omens caused a vast expanse of chaotic lightning to fall, and countless immortal lightning bolts to engulf the starry sky. Wang Hongwu broke free from the universe and underwent tribulation in the outer heavens. Otherwise, this universe would have been shattered and crippled; the lightning was simply too terrifying.

The Battle of Immortals has finally revealed its terrifying nature.

There, both intangible concepts and tangible beings are all influenced by the laws of the War Immortals, transformed into warriors, and reflected in the mortal world.

Splash! The shimmering waves flowed, and it was time itself. It actually transformed into a tangible warrior, a child with an old face, holding a wheel of time, blocking the path of the immortal warrior.

Then, a young-faced man with a protruding forehead, white hair and beard stepped out, holding a ring in his hand, which was the lifespan, and it also manifested as a tangible warrior.

Then, a burst of celestial light appeared, and a burly man with broad shoulders and a waist as wide as a gate descended, his body wrapped in a stream of light like a path to immortality—the barrier of the immortal path, which had also arrived.

Then, a pair of twins dressed in black robes and yellow clothes emerged, representing the shackles of heaven and earth; finally, a true warrior descended, wearing tattered armor and holding a broken bronze weapon, with only his eyes shining exceptionally brightly, the manifestation of the War Immortal status.

They are all manifestations of the Battle Immortal Tribulation. Battle Immortals are naturally invincible, fighting against everything, battling against the mortal world, against the years, and against the end of Dharma, all in order to carve out a path and fight for immortality!
In a sense, it also aligns well with the concept of the Immortal of the Mortal World: warriors cross the mortal world and can eventually transform into: Immortal Warriors of the Mortal World!

"I've overcome the toughest hurdle, so what's this?"

Wang Hongwu didn't take it seriously and even took direct action, raising his palm to suppress it!
If all twelve immortals have been killed, what are a few warriors?
In an instant, his palms glowed with an astonishing luster. When he struck the Time Warrior, it transformed into a golden mace that flew through the air and collided with his body, directly knocking the wheel away. The immense force caused the warrior to stagger. At the same time, he formed a hand seal with his left hand and struck it repeatedly. Instantly, battle monuments appeared in the void, shimmering with golden light and engraved with immortal symbols.

These divine tablets, arranged in rows, descended from all directions to suppress another Lifespan Warrior. They all flowed with secret power, unleashing powerful fluctuations and releasing battle might. With a single move, they suppressed both of them. The Immortal Fortress Warrior arrived at the same time as heaven and earth, attacking Wang Hongwu from both sides. However, he casually changed his hand seals. In an instant, 108,000 ancient war chariots were arranged around him, sealing off all directions. Countless weapons swirled in the west wind, trapping the two of them within.

This was a technique he had learned during his transformation into a War Immortal. Only when the final War Immortal charged in did he become more serious, unleashing the divine weapon killing technique evolved from the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, and condensing an ancient coffin that fell down. With a clang, the War Immortal swung his bronze weapon and struck it, but it could not budge it in the slightest.

The black coffin was engraved with nine dragon corpse patterns, and blood mist seeped from the gaps in the coffin lid. The chains at the bottom of the coffin were wrapped around nine immortal golden dragon corpses, which pounced and bit at him, binding the body of the War Immortal and pulling him into the coffin to suppress him.

The next moment, the Dao Palace Immortal Seed flew out, transforming into the Five Directions World-Suppressing Seal. With a clang, it suppressed the Time Warrior. He waved his hands, reversing the flow of time, causing the large seal to fly back and continuously decay. However, the seal changed accordingly, directly splitting into five smaller seals: Wood Grain, Fire Feather, Golden Edge, Water Ripple, and Earth Mountain. Then, they shook each other, shooting out chaotic immortal light, decomposing all things into the five elements, shattering the Time Warrior's arms.

Then, the divine spear forged from the Immortal Seed of Sendai attacked, its shaft like a gnarled Dao tree, its tip condensed with myriad runes; with a light touch of the spear tip, time instantly became ethereal, and then Wang Hongwu threw the spear, striking the Time Warrior squarely between the eyebrows, igniting his Sendai and the Great Dao, burning away all the laws of the heavens, and the entire thing exploded.

After the five immortal seeds merged with the immortal gold and immortal spirit, they underwent countless transformations. Now, they transformed again, and the five immortal artifacts attacked as one. Yin and Yang severed cause and effect, the Five Elements Seal suppressed time and space, the Cosmic Furnace absorbed the physical body, the Immortal Burial Coffin sealed the true spirit, and the God-Slaying Spear shattered the Great Dao. They forcefully shattered the two great warriors of Heaven and Earth and the Immortal Fortress, making them no match for each other.

The warrior of longevity tried to retreat, but was crushed by Wang Hongwu with the Wheel of Life and Death of the Heavens, and was completely broken down into the finest flesh paste. He continued to grind and squeeze out countless immortal mists. Then he entered the coffin to fight the warrior immortal and killed him.

As he became increasingly ferocious, the heavenly tribulation also changed and grew stronger. The marks of warriors from ancient and modern times emerged, and it began to draw blood from Wang Hongwu. However, his strength also continued to rise. With each defeat of an opponent, his battle path was integrated into his own Dao Fruit, making him stronger and stronger, because he was a Battle Immortal!
Finally, with a long roar, the Five Emperors' Sky-Patrolling Umbrella, manifested from the Dao Palace Immortal Seed, appeared around him. The five colors of blue, red, yellow, white, and black rotated, and the umbrella ribs were the five elements of immortal golden dragons. As it spun open, it suppressed all the warriors. Then, he wielded the Universe-Severing Axe, which was transformed from the Four Extremes Immortal Seed, and cleaved several figures in two. He also flicked his finger and shot out the Burial Immortal Tribulation Coffin Nails, which were transformed from the Dragon Transformation Immortal Seed. The nine nails were driven into the nine fatal acupoints of the enemies, and the dragon soul devoured their primordial spirit, dragging them into the bronze coffin for suppression.

Through countless trials and tribulations, a full century has passed. How terrifying this is! I have never heard of anyone's tribulation lasting a hundred years.

After a century of fierce battle between thunder and fire, at the very last moment, the tribulation of lightning also erupted, pouring down and transforming into a huge character for "war," meant to annihilate those who defied the heavens.

Wang Hongwu remained unmoved. A purple "war" mark appeared between his eyebrows, forming a mysterious pattern that shone brightly.

In an instant, the purple symbols burst forth one after another, like the strokes of complex ancient characters being disassembled and manifested in the void, transforming into a diagram that imprisoned the final Thunder Tribulation Battle character within it. Then, Wang Hongwu unleashed a punch, with surging immortal light and boundless battle energy, blasting the area apart.

Thus, he successfully transcended his tribulation and transformed into a celestial being!
"I've become an immortal!"

Within the Celestial Court, all the emperors exclaimed in unison, "To see immortals in the mortal world!" This was not only awe-inspiring but also a myth, immeasurable and unimaginable.

Even Lingbao was shocked. He had killed a broken immortal corpse before, so he could naturally feel the weight of the word "immortal path". But what was terrifying was that the battle immortal that the Martial Emperor had transformed into was even more terrifying than when the immortal corpse was alive. This was no ordinary immortal; it was definitely one of the best!
"Ten thousand years, warriors cross the mortal world, and ascend to immortality in one lifetime, how amazing."

Zhang Bairen sighed. He had come from the Chaotic Ancient Era and had seen immortals, so he naturally knew how terrifying this level was. In his opinion, the Martial Emperor's achievement had surpassed most true immortals, and his cultivation was second only to the top true immortals. But if war broke out, he could definitely kill him!
Because cultivation level is one thing, combat strength is another.

"It seems we will meet again soon." In the strange world, the Undying Emperor's lips curled up; in the vast chaotic sea, the decaying world shattered and was refined by the Emperor, his expression unchanged. "Warriors cross the mortal world, and mortals become warrior immortals. Do you want to walk both paths simultaneously?"

boom!
Beyond the universe, Wang Hongwu stood tall, exhaling immortal mist, his body radiating the light of immortality, transforming his mortal body into an immortal one. The character "Battle" between his brows became increasingly ancient and unfathomable, making him a standout even in the realm of true immortals.

With a flawless physical body, an indestructible primordial spirit, and an ever-renewing immortal power and laws, he achieved the status of a Battle Immortal in the Dharma-ending Age!
Such a position far surpasses that of a true immortal. He can sweep past them with ease and possesses an unparalleled foundation. Although his cultivation is not yet at its peak, his combat power is enough to kill even the most powerful true immortals. Moreover, this is only his first level of immortal cultivation. Once he gathers both methods and two cultivation fruits, he will become an unprecedented mortal warrior immortal!
Warriors cross the mortal realm, and the mortal realm transforms into warrior immortals. The reason why cultivating two methods simultaneously and achieving two Dao fruits is so powerful is because the two paths are pursued in parallel. Although he is currently only at the level of one of them, the other is not far off. When the system he created descends to the world and reaches the level of immortality, perhaps that will be the time to transcend and ascend.

"I have achieved immortality; in this world, I will pave the way for all living beings."

His voice was calm, yet it struck like lightning, piercing the heavens and earth, traversing countless stars and realms, shaking the vast universe, and causing all living beings to tremble in fear.

Immediately, all living beings were shocked. The Martial Emperor actually wanted to leave behind a path to immortality?

That is the true method of achieving immortality. Which enlightened being would not cherish it as a treasure and be reluctant to share it? Yet Emperor Wu imparted it to all living beings without holding back, wanting to lead all people through the mortal world!
Wang Hongwu turned around, and a green light appeared around him. As the essence of longevity within him broke through the tribulation, the green lotus in his body was also nourished. It was as if he had been reborn, bursting out with a brilliant glow. With hundreds of thousands of years of immortal nourishment, he could be reborn as a true living being.

Of course, this generation of the Azure Emperor will probably be very different. In a sense, it is also nourished by the Dao of the Martial Emperor, and may evolve in a completely new direction.

"Interesting. Today I plant a lotus, and after ten thousand years it will become an emperor."

Wang Hongwu took a step forward, and the chaotic energy dispersed. He returned directly from the deepest part of the universe to the Celestial Court. The stars rotated, the Milky Way trembled, and his power was astonishing.

In an instant, a vast expanse of celestial light bathed the entire Thirty-Three Heavens.

The Phoenix Emperor benefited from this, his immortal golden body transformed into an immortal artifact, giving birth to immortal light; a new batch of supreme imperial weapons appeared throughout the entire Immortal Court, and those whose lifespans were originally depleted were nourished by this, extending their lifespans by a large margin, truly a blessing for a lifetime.

"No one in the world can compare to my master. Above all emperors, there are immortals!" Fuxi and Nuwa exchanged a glance, both showing respect. Following such a leader, their future would surely be glorious and prosperous.

When Wang Hongwu returned, he met with the four women again and spent some time with them. He taught them the essence of immortality and demonstrated 129,600 body-tempering techniques before leaving again.

"Ten thousand years have passed, and I never expected to be attacked so badly as soon as I was born." Inside the Lake of Reincarnation, a fat Taoist priest muttered to himself, slowly rising from the coffin and gracefully leaping onto the mountain ridge.

However, as soon as he emerged, he was startled and stumbled, because there was already someone standing at the exit.

The ultimate warrior, the Martial Emperor!
"You scare people to death, do you know that? Old Wang, you're really not kind!" Duan De was so frightened that he jumped back into the water and started splashing around. He was quite bewildered, his mouth was dry, and he couldn't accept the fact that this guy had actually become an immortal!
He's a War Immortal, truly astonishing.

"It's been ten thousand years since we last met. I've come to fetch you." Wang Hongwu smiled faintly, and with a flick of his finger, a ray of immortal light fell into the fat Taoist's body, cleansing him, dispelling his death energy, nurturing pure yang, and instantly perfecting the merits of this life.

Duan De's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stared at him as if he were a monster. He said, "You Martial Emperor, you've really defied the heavens! I've only accumulated three Reincarnation Seals through my arduous cultivation. Although my speed has increased in this life, I'm still far from the theoretically predicted nine Reincarnation Seals needed to be combined to become an immortal. And you've actually reached this point!"

He was rather speechless. The nine seals combined to become an immortal in the mortal world, but this guy spent 100,000 years in the mortal world as a warrior and became a warrior immortal on the spot. It was really absurd.

“I have a way to help you speed up this process.” Wang Hongwu glanced at the Reincarnation Seal in his body and immediately understood.

He was not exaggerating. After the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc merged with the Void Immortal Golden Tablet, it possessed unfathomable immortal power, making it easy to propel Duan De into a new cycle of reincarnation. Upon hearing this, the fat Taoist priest's expression instantly changed. "That's incredibly good! I knew you were extraordinary, Old Wang. You've achieved immortality and established your path today. I'll have to rely on you today, hehe."

At this moment, he smiled somewhat shyly, like a hibiscus swaying in the wind—not particularly graceful, but rather alluring.

It has a kind of beauty reminiscent of an octopus attacking a palm tree and a tornado destroying a jade gambling site.

Even with his flawless eyes, Wang Hongwu couldn't bear to watch any longer. He slapped him into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, sending him to struggle through the cycle of reincarnation.

Of course, this process only shortens the reincarnation time; he still needs to gather the nine reincarnation seals and accumulate the different paths of the nine lifetimes.

Looking back on the mortal world, this great era has come to an end. In the 100,000th year of the Hongwu era, the God-Slaying Insect that once followed Emperor Wu was born, proved its Dao to become Emperor, and returned to the Celestial Court.

From then on, people lost count of how many Dao-achievers the Martial Emperor's lineage had. Another God-Slaying Emperor was born, possessing immense power, and ruled the universe for a period of time.

Fortunately, the experts of the Celestial Court lineage only studied the Heavenly Heart Mark for a period of time after obtaining it, and then they would turn to cultivating their own Heavenly Heart and Myriad Paths. The suppression of the Dao Mark dissipated quickly, giving all living beings the opportunity to continue to compete for salvation.

Wang Hongwu also spread his teachings widely throughout the world, transforming his various inheritances and even immortal martial arts techniques into cultivation methods, which were then introduced into the world, creating numerous opportunities and fortuitous events.

All those who become emperors can enter the Thirty-Three Heavens and become disciples of the Celestial Court.

This is the understanding gained amidst the hustle and bustle of life.

Only by striving to become an emperor in the mortal realm can one gain the qualification to enter the celestial court and strive for immortality.

Amidst such grandeur, the Hongwu reign lasted for 110,000 years.

A century of fierce battles, peak showdowns, and the struggle for supremacy between dragons and tigers gave rise to a figure of extraordinary talent. In a single night of bloody battle, he killed the Supreme God of Blood, slayed the Holy Spirit, and killed seven ancient evil gods at the Quasi-Emperor level.

That battle was earth-shattering, with ghosts wailing and gods howling. He roared through the universe alone, defeating all in one night. His silver dragon filled the sky, slaying all his competitors and forcefully ascending to the top!

The world was astonished. People witnessed such a grand battle with great excitement. They were all thrilled and revered him as the Demon Emperor, a peerless hero who had transformed from a snow rabbit into a silver dragon.

In the past, he was a snow rabbit. By chance, he created a secret technique for transforming into a dragon and obtained the True Dragon Scattering Hand, which was spread throughout the world by Emperor Wu. He became a demon emperor and forged the Measuring Ruler. After attaining enlightenment, he returned to the Big Dipper and met the woman who was waiting for him. They stayed together ever since.

Later, in pursuit of immortality, the Demon Emperor and his wife entered the Heavenly Court together.

Someone intervened and removed the traces of the Heavenly Heart Dao from him, giving him the method to forge his own Heavenly Heart.

In the 120,000th year of the Hongwu era, this era was exceptionally different. An indestructible golden body was born, and the Azure Heaven Overlord Blood was ready to fight. But what was even more shocking was the appearance of a chaotic body!

The universe trembled violently, and a true chaotic entity was born. Some even dug into its origins and discovered that it was actually a chaotic entity from the mythical era.

After his physical body was severed by the Boundless Heavenly Venerable, a wisp of his primordial spirit escaped into the Immortal Source and sealed itself. Now, he has emerged from the world, severing his cultivation and undergoing a rebirth.

The terrifying nature of the Chaos Body was fully revealed to the world for the first time. As he cultivated, all the Dao revived and resonated with him. Dao traces were densely distributed in his secluded cultivation place, rumbling and humming.

Having lived two lives and cultivated from scratch, it's terrifying to the point of being frightening.

In the end, Wang Bo defeated the Golden Body and the Bloodthirsty Tyrant, ascended to the pinnacle, and became the supreme ruler of this world.

When he became emperor, all paths merged, laws burned, the world was bathed in radiance, and the mortal realm was shaken.

Even the world marveled at how extraordinary Chaos was, as all the myriad paths converged with it, truly possessing an invincible power.

Ten thousand years later, the Chaos Body was at its zenith. He comprehended the Creation Furnace Method left by Wang Hongwu and developed his own Chaos Divine Form, reaching the pinnacle of sublimation. He turned his gaze to the Thirty-Three Heavens and to the Celestial Court!

"Is the Chaos Emperor going to challenge the Celestial Court?"

"It can't possibly be a challenge against the Martial Emperor."

"Perhaps it is the Wuji Emperor, after all, he was the former Wuliang Tianzun, and the two have a great enmity."

However, as soon as people thought of the word "challenge," they all shook their heads. Let alone Emperor Wu, whether they could pass the test of the spirit of the artifact in front of his gate or the test of Lingbao Tianzun was another matter entirely.

Moreover, Emperor Wu was unique, creating unprecedented miracles and was invincible.

But in the end, Wang Bo made his move and headed towards the Celestial Court.
