The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 262 Suppressing the Immortal King!
The Spear of Anlan!

This infamous royal weapon is not only renowned throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but also has its own story in the Immortal Realm, so it should not be underestimated.

Its appearance immediately caused a violent tremor and countless exclamations.

Upon seeing this spear, the Immortal King's expression changed slightly, for An Lan was also a supreme king!
At this moment, the entire Immortal Palace Universe was trampled by the Peacock King. With a clang of a bell, the figure on its back appeared particularly terrifying. Holding the Immortal King Spear and with the Immortal King Ancient Bell hanging from its head, it wielded two great royal weapons and ruthlessly raised its weapons to carry out acts of slaughter!
What comes from the other side of the universe is not the King, but the Purifier!
Clang! The Endless Bell surged with power, and the Immortal King's expression shifted. It was actually the Remnant Bell of Endless Time? He exhaled sharply, no longer evolving the universe, but instead creating a vast royal land. It was the territory of a king, impervious to all laws and untouched by external forces. Only a true king could condense it; it was a means to achieve this.

However, in an instant, a golden spear pierced through mercilessly, penetrating the royal land and shattering the king's way and majesty, a ruthless attack! The Immortal King remained unmoved, and with a wave of his hand, an ancient weapon flew out from the secluded palace. It was the supreme artifact of the Immortal Palace lineage, a bronze celestial halberd.

He roared, wielding the Heavenly Halberd, which unleashed a multitude of beams of light that clashed with the Spear of Anlan. A great wave manifested, shattering the ancient universe and giving rise to a completely new world. The universe was being reshaped, ancient history was being created, and the changing of eras was manifested there, all in the blink of an eye.

"You little trickster, using these methods is useless!" Wang Hongwu's spear suddenly pressed down, and the true form of a feathered Kunpeng with a body forged of cyan gold attached itself to it. He used the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques to slash forward, forcefully suppressing Tian Ge. His majestic voice echoed and rumbled, shaking the universe and making it appear even more sacred and inviolable.

Is he really competing with a supreme Immortal King? The Peacock King was stunned, and then felt quite incredulous. Those were supreme figures, who were above even the flawless Immortal King. Which one of them didn't look down on the rise and fall of eras and laugh at the ages?
As a result, today a young man who has been cultivating Tao for only 300,000 years has gone against the tide and clashed with him!

Why is this happening? Many old-timers can't understand how these ten fierce beasts, who are so young, could possess such a terrifying aura and dare to challenge even a supreme immortal king.

Although all of this was detrimental to the dignity of the king, the Immortal King, being a sovereign, would naturally not be disturbed by such trivial matters. With one hand holding the Heavenly Halberd to block the golden spear, he grabbed with the other hand and condensed a universe into a blade that could cleave the Dao. The blade cut through the rules of the heavens and separated the patterns of the Great Dao, slashing horizontally towards Wang Hongwu. However, he remained unmoved, sitting upright on the Peacock King, with a solemn and dignified appearance. The eighteen layers of immortal golden light, along with the golden ancient spear, gently blocked everything with a single stroke.

Eighteen layers of immortal gold?
Upon seeing this scene, even the Immortal King was stunned. It wasn't that he hadn't seen Immortal Kings who had achieved enlightenment through Immortal Gold before, but they were only one type of Immortal Gold. He had never seen eighteen layers of Immortal Gold forcibly piled together and fused into one.

Even setting aside the fact that it was him, the other Celestial Kings watching were somewhat stunned. This was not right, not right at all.

Furthermore, the physical body integrated with the immortal metal is different from that transformed by the spiritual connection of the immortal metal, and their strengths are also very different, but Wang Hongwu possesses both.

"Ancestor of the Celestial Palace, you do not understand the will of Heaven, dare to defy destiny, and offend my royal authority. Today, I hereby decree that you shall be annihilated for ten thousand eons!"

Then Wang Hongwu announced, his voice booming, like the supreme Heavenly King issuing a decree, his words becoming law. The Great Dao runes condensed in the void, transforming into a golden decree, upon which eighteen layers of immortal gold patterns intertwined, the phantoms of ten fierce beasts rose and fell, and the words 'Ming Wang' were engraved.

The universe resonates, the immortal realm echoes, and even the legendary Nine Heavens of Thunder manifest!

"He dares to issue a decree to the Celestial King?"

Even the Peacock King's eyes twitched at the sight. This was beyond arrogance; even a giant wouldn't issue a decree to a supreme king.

Historically, it has always been the Celestial King who issues decrees to the beings under the Kingly Realm to intimidate all living beings. When has there ever been a case where someone defies the decrees?
Unprecedented!

"How arrogant! To issue an imperial decree to bombard a Celestial King is unprecedented in the entire history of the Celestial Realm."

Other important figures from the aggregated universe clusters were also watching the battle. Upon seeing this scene, they couldn't help but chuckle, unsure of what to say.

This scene left everyone speechless. It was the first time that the Ten Fiends had issued a decree to the Supreme Immortal King. It was truly a reversal of the Heavenly Order.

But what's terrifying is that the decree actually came true!

Sensing the danger, the Immortal Realm unleashed a barrage of thunderbolts, transforming into the Nine Heavens of Thunder, even manifesting the illusory image of the Thunder Emperor, all of which blasted upon the Banished Immortal King!
With a bang, the Immortal King staggered, his back charred black, injured by the lightning. If it were an ordinary Immortal King here, he would have been bleeding from the wound with a single blow.

"Is this truly divine retribution?"

"It is divine retribution, but it is also... the Thunder Emperor!"

"So it was him, the Thunder Emperor among the Ten Fiends, with the strongest potential. I never expected that he would also master this precious technique. Just how many of the Ten Fiends' bloodlines are in his possession?"

The onlookers were astonished, never expecting the King of Light to have so many methods; no wonder even the Peacock King was subdued.

"Not simple." The Immortal King commented, taking it seriously. His hair flew wildly, each strand sparkling and glittering, and as his eyes shone, he formed hand seals and unleashed a devastating attack.

This is a supreme immortal king. When he goes all out, the scene is unimaginable, even more terrifying than the creation of the world.

The inheritance of the Immortal King emphasizes endless variations and invincible supernatural powers, so he naturally has to make the most of his strengths. In this realm, the battles are not so simple, as they involve all aspects of the Great Dao. Various fields are at odds, just like arranging troops in battle formations. There are both feints and real attacks, and every bit of power needs to be fully utilized. Any field can affect the changes in the battle.

In all these years, when has the banished immortal king ever been so solemn!

As an exceptionally powerful individual, having to fight the Ten Fiends with all his might was truly difficult for him to bear.

"You have blasphemed the king's majesty, your fate is sealed. You raise your spear to the heavens, but the consequences are unbearable. Your bones will be added to the ruins of an era. At the end of the sea of ​​blood, the path will be empty. We will grieve together for eternity!"

Looking at this divine body, Wang Hongwu spoke, his tone calm and composed, showing no signs of disturbance. The peacock beneath him sang a magnificent song that resonated with heaven and earth, causing the vast earth to tremble violently, as if an unparalleled Great King had descended, his power overwhelming the world.

Visible to the naked eye, terrifying ripples instantly appeared around him. His immortal blood revived, and the Immortal Golden Holy Spirit manifested, covering his body. He grew black and gold dragon horns on his head, blue and gold Kunpeng wings on his back, orange and gold Qilin feet on his feet, red and gold phoenix feathers on his body, nine green and gold Netherworld Hound tails swung out, he wore golden Thunder Emperor Armor, held a purple and gold sword and grass weapon, his blue and gold cricket eyes reflected time and space, and his two white and gold ant arms swung seven-colored divine stones to smash out, forming the Immortal Golden Ten Fiends Body.

The Ten Fiends of Immortal Gold?!
The moment this unparalleled Dharma Body appeared, the masters of all the major lineages took notice and showed surprise. The Ten Fiends alone were already extraordinary, but now they have been infused with Immortal Gold, not to mention the Extremely Powerful Heavenly Horned Ant among them. The physical strength of this body probably surpasses that of a top Immortal King. If the Ten Fiends Ancestral Technique is activated, the combat power will soar.

The next moment, the two incredibly powerful beings broke through the boundaries of the universe, as if the two largest war gods in history had collided, which was truly awe-inspiring.

During their battle, their breaths were the cycle of the seasons, their eyes were open and day and night were reversed. With a gentle sweep of their hair, they could slash open huge cracks in the surrounding universe. With a touch of their knuckles, they could cause ripples of the Great Dao to spread. Their clashes were like the Big Bang, from which all things were born.

As all these strange phenomena cycled, the real two had already torn apart the universe and stood in the outer realms, waging a frenzied battle. Even the phantom of the long river of time appeared, surging around them.

Clang! The Immortal King's gaze sharpened. His Heavenly Halberd struck the Immortal Golden Ten Fiends Battle Body, yet it drew no blood and could not break through its defenses?!
This is simply defying the heavens! He is a supreme immortal king!

When did it become impossible to even break through the human body's physical defenses?

He had seen the Yellow Path Immortal Golden King and the Ten Fiends, but he had never seen the Immortal Golden Ten Fiends!

How did these two things get mixed up?

How hard would it have to be?!
This scene caused many Celestial Kings to frown. They had never seen such a route before; its hardness was too high, completely ignoring many of the Celestial Palace Lord's attacks.

As far as Wang Hongwu is concerned, in terms of cultivation alone, he is indeed inferior to the Immortal King. However, the inheritance and bloodline of the Ten Fiends allow him to compete with him. The Immortal Gold Ten Fiends Battle Body and the system he created are his advantages, all of which surpass the top Immortal Kings. It is precisely because of this that he has the capital to fight against him.

The Five Elements Na Yin - Ren Shen Gui You Sword Edge Gold! His system activated, directly utilizing the Peacock King's methods, but in his hands, they were even more terrifying. Rainbow light shot towards the Dipper and the white blade condensed frost and snow. With this move, the golden spear split into countless parts, penetrating every crevice, forcefully breaking through the Immortal King's defense, leaving fine bloody marks on his body.

"That peacock's magic isn't enough!" The Immortal King unleashed boundless killing intent, which exploded there, vaguely resembling the roar of an unparalleled monarch. His entire body rapidly expanded, forming a gigantic human face, several times larger than the universe. He opened his mouth, as if to devour all things. That bottomless mouth was like a gateway for all living beings in the world to ascend to immortality. The rain of light was so vast that it engulfed the sky.

Then, he opened his mouth and swallowed Wang Hongwu, intending to refine him—an extremely domineering method.

"Overestimating yourself!" Wang Hongwu coldly rebuked. Behind him, the true forms of the Ten Immortal Golden and Ten Fiendish beings merged into one, evolving into the unparalleled Myriad Dao Fist. Countless Dao trajectories coiled around his arms like dragons. He possessed an aura that could swallow eternity and attacked directly.

With a single punch, heaven and earth crumbled, and the great Dao's imperial pronouncements echoed across the nine heavens; the green-gold ghostly beast, carrying nine nether chains, bound them; the purple-gold sword grass, carrying the light of ten thousand laws, slashed; the blue-gold divine cricket distorted space and time; the black-gold true dragon fiercely swung its tail; the golden thunder emperor summoned ten thousand calamities to punish them; the crimson-gold divine phoenix breathed out indestructible heavenly flames; the cyan-gold Kunpeng separated day and night, yin and yang; the white-gold heavenly ant held up the sky with one arm; the orange-gold Qilin trampled, and the seven-colored divine stone pierced through all the heavens.

With a loud hum, the suction gate was pierced through, and his entire fist went straight into the mouth of the Immortal King. Then, Wang Hongwu turned his fist into a palm and pulled his mouth closer to himself. Then, his left hand evolved, and the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Qilin, forged in orange gold, appeared. He transformed the legendary treasure technique, Heavenly Qilin Seal, into a palm strike and slammed it down.

*Slap!* The slap was loud and crisp, shaking the entire cosmic cluster and sending a thunderclap through the entire Immortal Realm.

The main reason was that the face was huge, like a vast universe, and the slap that Wang Hongwu swung out was naturally enlarged as well, covering the sky and the earth, and thus the sound was incredibly loud.

Needless to say, that was the Qilin Palm, which forcefully slapped the large face until it crumbled, the area where the cheek and palm met rotting away, completely disintegrating until nothing remained. Everyone was looking up at the sky and witnessed this scene.

For a moment, everyone was stunned. That was the Immortal King, but now he was being slapped hard across the face, and the sound was so crisp!
What's even more speechless is that he put his face up there himself!

Roar!
The reborn Immortal King, having reunited his physical body, roared in anger, even though he was a king. The slap he had just received had damaged his dignity, making this ancient king's face cold and filled with killing intent. Deep within the strange phenomena surrounding him, there were tides composed of the rise and fall of eras, and the rise and fall of worlds, all pressing down on him.

"What a joke! I am the sovereign, and the tides of eras are but sands slipping through my fingers; the rise and fall of all worlds are but fleeting clouds before my eyes! To try and disturb me with this is but a petty trick." Wang Hongwu's cold words echoed throughout the starry sky, causing the universe to tremble violently, as if it were about to explode.

He descended from the sky, swooping down to thrust his spear, adorned with nine true dragons coiled around it. He not only unleashed the True Dragon Treasure Technique but also merged his Nine Dragon Coffin into it, giving everyone the feeling that they would be locked onto and pierced by this spear for three lifetimes.

The king descended from the sky, his face contorted with rage and ferocity!
This strike hit the Immortal King squarely, causing the flow of time and the ripples of the Great Dao to spread outwards. The golden ancient spear erupted with a wave of energy that seemed to cause the collapse of a great world, and its divine light instantly engulfed the cluster formed by the aggregation of multiple universes. It was terrifying beyond measure, making people's souls tremble!

The countless beings in the surrounding universe all collapsed to the ground with a thud, trembling and shaking, almost bursting apart due to the aftershocks of the oppressive force.

That level of combat surpassed imagination, even tearing cracks in the highest rules of immortality, enough to shock the past, present, and future!
With a whoosh, celestial light surged forth, followed by a crimson river that gushed forth, causing chaos in the Great Dao's rules and instability in order. What was even more shocking was that this was not a real river, but the blood splattered by a Celestial King!

The celestial king, who had reached the pinnacle of power, was injured by the attack just now and had shed his royal blood.

The gushing of blood was an absolutely momentous and shocking event, leaving the powerful figures of all the sects in the Immortal Realm stunned.

A Celestial King, and one who is considered the pinnacle, standing at the highest peak of the cultivation path, is now fighting a junior and even drawing blood and being injured. He cannot accept this.

"You force me to apply the law, and I'll sever your life!"

The Immortal King's expression was cold; he was about to use his final, powerful move. Every Immortal King had a unique skill that made them famous—their 'royal law'!
Under heaven, all land belongs to the king; within the borders, all people are subjects of the king; the laws of this realm are the king's law!

The Immortal-Breaking Curse was the 'method' that made the Immortal King famous; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to influence Kunpeng back then.

Originally, the Ten Fiends' Kingly Law was their precious technique, but it seems that it has changed somewhat in Wang Hongwu's hands.

The next moment, the Immortal King flipped his palm and slapped out a bronze beam of immortal light. The onlookers around him retreated without hesitation, as if to avoid divine retribution.

Because that's the infamous Immortal-Breaking Curse!
Even immortals can be banished to the mortal realm and die a miserable death. It is truly wicked. Even immortal kings would not want to be tainted for no reason, as it would require a great deal of effort to remove them.

"The Undying Scripture!" Wang Hongwu remained silent, directly activating this unparalleled divine skill. Furthermore, the eighteen layers of immortal golden mysteries behind him merged into one, empowering the Ten Fierce Battle Body and manifesting its most powerful form. He was determined to withstand the Immortal-Breaking Curse!
Boom! He crashed directly into it, shattering the light of the Immortal-Slaying Curse!
Not only did this thing fail to work, it was also suppressed by him. In a sense, the Immortal Golden Body and the Undying Scripture were indeed quite effective against this path. It was not a matter of restraint, but it was true that he could be fearless of its effects.

"Let's see how many you can withstand!" The Immortal King was also enraged, and he actually used the King's Law to its highest level. His entire body transformed into a bronze man, covered with ancient and decaying patterns. Every move he made was filled with the light of an immortal, turning all things from the mysterious to the decaying, and everything had to return to the mortal world. This was a terrifying killing move.

In the past, only the Immortal King had used such a unique skill when he fought desperately against the Immortal King, severely injuring one of the Immortal Kings and causing him an incurable Dao injury.

In this state, he fought a great battle against Wang Hongwu, who had activated the Undying Scripture and the Ten Fiends' Profound Meaning. One firmly believed that he would cut the other down to the mortal realm, while the other was confident that his Immortal Golden Ten Fiends' Undying Body was invincible. Both had absolute confidence in their own path; otherwise, they would not have been able to reach this point.

As the two clashed, countless ripples of the Great Dao spread out, the paths of the Kingly Dao intertwined and became entangled, and trillions of heavenly flowers bloomed and fell, each capable of piercing the universe, illuminating all realms, and becoming eternal.

The ultimate battle of kings was fierce and terrifying.

This battle shocked the Immortal Realm and all living beings!
Blood rain fell from the sky, each drop capable of incinerating stars and severing the universe, its power terrifying beyond measure.

Everyone was watching closely, even Pan Wang and others were observing this battle to prevent any unexpected changes.

In the end, it was the Immortal King who let out a loud cry, his body pierced by Wang Hongwu's punch, and he was trampled underfoot and crushed as he rushed out!

His physical body cracked; this was the body of a Celestial King, yet it couldn't withstand Wang Hongwu's deadly attack.

This guy's body is unbelievably tough, unlike anything a human could do!
With a loud bang, Wang Hongwu punched violently, and the shattered body of the Immortal King crashed into the royal city, causing this magnificent area to collapse completely.

Some were even alarmed by the presence of the elixir of immortality and tried to escape.

"Where else can you go when you have nowhere else to turn? Come with me!" Wang Hongwu spread his five fingers and imprisoned the elixir of immortality that was trying to escape, pulling it back.

There were so many divine objects here, of astonishing value, that he acquired them all.

Seeing this, the Immortal King was furious and immediately launched a counterattack. Wang Hongwu was surprised, "He dares to come back to kill us?"

"Where reincarnation passes, all laws are abandoned, and all paths submit!" He directly summoned the Six Paths Wheel, and upon colliding with the Endless Bell, he used every means at his disposal, constantly forming hand seals. The Six Paths of Reincarnation reappeared, commanding numerous killing moves. He became faster and faster, his entire being like the embodiment of the Great Dao, and six different great realms emerged, devouring everything.

Then, the light of time fell like rain, turning the world upside down; next, birth, aging, sickness, and death, and all aspects of human life, also changed, this was the great cycle of reincarnation; then, the universe and galaxies collapsed, chaos emerged, then the light of the beginning shone, all things were revived, the world was reshaped, and we entered the era of creation once again.

In the end, various scenes emerge, from the vast universe to a tiny ant, all in the cycle of reincarnation. There is the eternal drifting of the spirit and the waiting for rebirth, as well as the transformation of matter, from dragons to dust, then absorbed by plants to become a divine tree, and so on. Various magnificent scenes flow continuously. This is reincarnation, the change of all things, all contained within it.

Finally, his expression turned solemn, and all his hand seals converged into one, striking forward with a thunderous boom. All the supernatural powers he had cultivated throughout his life, his self-created unique skills, and the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques were incorporated into this powerful strike.

That which traverses time and space is freedom; that which permeates reincarnation is attachment to self.

I am bound by the cycle of reincarnation!

"Six Paths King? You're back? No, the concept behind this technique is different?!" Upon seeing this scene, the Immortal King was stunned and momentarily distracted. In that instant, Wang Hongwu's killing move erupted. The so-called reincarnation contained the mysteries of all paths. Its shape resembled a six-path wheel, which transformed into a millstone of ten thousand paths. And when the fragments of time flew around, it resembled a blade of heavenly will.

It was always changing, and eventually it exhausted all of Wang Hongwu's knowledge, condensing into a vortex, and then began to frantically absorb various Dao symbols from the Immortal Realm, cruelly injuring the Immortal King.

*Pfft!* This attack directly defeated him. He was truly no match for the opponent and was sent flying. His physical body exploded, leaving only his primordial spirit.

At this moment, even the proud and supreme Immortal King, the Lord of the Immortal Palace, fell silent. This was truly a great humiliation; to be beaten by the very person who had plotted against him, and to be utterly defeated.

But no matter how many other thoughts he had, the Immortal King did not deny the fact that he had indeed lost.

He was defeated in front of everyone by the new Ten Fiends, and now the Great Ming King!

"Although I have been defeated and my physical body has been shattered, a supreme immortal king is immortal and indestructible. In the end, you cannot do anything to me!"

In the end, even the resolute Immortal King could only utter such a sentence, and he knew that the other kings of the Immortal Realm would not stand idly by and watch him get into trouble.

A kingly warrior is of paramount importance, not to mention a peerless one. He simply did not believe that this young Ten Fiends would dare to defy the will of the kings, nor did he believe that he had the means to obliterate a Celestial King.

To kill a peerless immortal king, one must be well-prepared and have special methods; otherwise, one wrong move could allow the opponent to rise from the ashes.

"Who says I can't take you in?" Wang Hongwu said with a playful expression, slowly touching the sacrificial bowl at his waist, and said with a faint smile, "Come into my bowl!"

The next moment, the sacrificial bowl shone brightly, unleashing boundless suction force that directly drew in the Immortal King's primordial spirit, sealing it away.

Killing him would be such a waste! Supporting his path is the only truly worthwhile way forward!
