The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 278 Lord of Another Realm, Two Domain Ancestors Appear
The Heavenly King's sacred Nirvana brought about a complete transformation of the land.

Overnight, time reversed and history was reshaped.

Dark matter is the most difficult thing to get rid of. It has destroyed countless peerless masters throughout history and is feared even by the Immortal Realm. The most effective method in history is defense to prevent it from corroding the body. Once it enters the body, few people can get rid of it completely.

For example, the Golden-haired Hou, the lord of the Fallen Immortal Ridge, and the Peacock King, the mount of the Heavenly King, were both harmed by that substance in the past and had no way to return; but today it is different, with the emergence of beings that can withstand the power of the ancient artifacts of origin, in addition to the ancestors of the Burial Domain and the ancestors of the Other Domain!

In other words, that is the true 'exotic orthodoxy,' with impeccable lineage.

Even the remaining twenty Immortal Kings, led by Wu Shang, had some ideas. They were convinced that this Heavenly King, like their early ancestor, had withstood the baptism of divine glory without perishing, and could evolve, and even embark on the path of breaking through the King and becoming an Emperor.

Even the eight people, including the Demon King Pu and the Red King, chose to support him, and many kings were suppressed by him. The remaining people would definitely not be able to resist successfully. Even Kundi lost his fighting power. Seeing this, Wushang picked up the banner and said, "We can choose to submit, but you cannot convert us like you did with the Sea God King."

"Insolence! A bunch of losers, how dare you make demands of the Heavenly King?" the Peacock King rebuked, but no immortal king dared to say anything, for this man was the Heavenly King's mount, and even when beating a dog, one must consider its owner.

Pu Mowang, Chi Wang, An Lan, and others sneered, "Why should we believe in you losers? Rebels and rebels, you are sinners from another land."

"If that's the case, then let me be the only one to be converted. I am their leader, and I can make them swear an oath to follow my command and never disobey." Wu Shang was gambling. He possessed an ancestral technique that made him impervious to all magic. He wanted to use it to neutralize the influence of the Heavenly King's magic, find a way to break the spell, and then rescue all his former companions!

The hopes of the old foreign land rested entirely on him.

"Heh," Wang Hongwu chuckled, of course he saw through Wu Shang's plan. It was just a pity that he had already embarked on the path to becoming an emperor, and with sacred matter and ancient artifacts of origin as a medium, even if he was invulnerable to all laws, he could not resist it. But why did he accept this condition?
The advantage lies with us, the power lies with us, what right do you have to make demands?

Ridiculous!
Moreover, these people were beings who had formed great karmic connections with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths back then. If he let them go, what would happen to the other side? Therefore, the best solution is to enlighten them all, so that the entire alien realm is united as one, all of them are his "others" and "others," all of them are part of the Heavenly King, and naturally they will be loyal and unharmed.

They got revenge, captured the people, and acquired the land—a triple win.

“Some people can’t see the reality. You guys, go and help them wake up.” Wang Hongwu waved his hand, and the twenty-six King-level warriors immediately launched a fierce attack on the remaining twenty Immortal Kings. Even more Immortal Kings who had been converted flew out from the sacrificial bowl to join the battle.

"Yu Tuo, have you fallen too!" Wu Shang roared, and the bronze halberd slashed away a figure. It was the Yu Tuo of the past, but now he was different. A blurry outline sat in his eyes and said devoutly, "Wu Shang, why are you so stubborn? An Lan is right. The Heavenly Father is the leader of the alien realm. He will lead us to a higher realm."

"Wu Shang, why haven't you attained enlightenment yet!" Moreover, it wasn't just him. A thunderous roar came, and the Thunder God giant reappeared, holding a silver hammer. Thunder shook the nine heavens, and the divine thunder and demonic shock slammed into Wu Shang's back. Even with the protection of being invulnerable to all laws, the pure force still affected Wu Shang, causing him to stagger.

Even you? Wu Shang was stunned. This giant had also fallen? Then, he suddenly raised his halberd to block the purple-gold gourd flying from the other side. The one who made the move was also a giant. He said in a low voice, "Why bother? Why suffer? Return to the embrace of the Heavenly Father."

Not far away, King Wu walked over wielding the Immortal-Slaying Blade, King Qing swallowed the universe and flapped his wings to swoop down, King Yu crushed down with a palm that destroyed the world, and King Kun waved his treasure fan to unleash the wind, water and fire of the earth; the two giants and five supreme masters joined forces to besiege him, and even Wu Shang was somewhat overwhelmed. In fact, King Chi and King Pu also took action, joining forces to suppress him and send him to Wang Hongwu.

Wang Hongwu slowly extended a hand and placed it on Wu Shang's head. The King's Law was activated, and a rain of light, sprinkled by sacred matter, surged forth, causing the aura of invulnerability around Wu Shang's body to tremble violently, as if it were about to collapse.

Unaffected by any law, even the law of the king is worthless! Wu Shang exerted all his power to activate his own law and preserve his consciousness, only to find that the Self-Attachment Reincarnation had not shattered his will or recreated his primordial spirit, but had instead merged into it and coexisted with it, giving him a new layer of understanding.

What am I? Wu Shang was stunned. All things are one, all things are my image. They are all part of the Heavenly Father, born great, because the Heavenly Father embarked on the path of breaking the king and meeting the emperor, so they also embarked on this path.

As long as the Father is eternal, so are all kings.

When the Heavenly Father sees the Emperor, all the kings see the Emperor.

They were all emperors!
Gradually, Wu Shang's views changed. He still had a self and a personality, but he had an additional deep-rooted instinct in his cognition: he was a child of the Heavenly Father, a giant of the new alien realm, and the Son of Heaven!

The Heavenly Father stroked my head, enlightening me and bestowing upon me true enlightenment.

Finally, he stood up, his expression devout, and said to the remaining dozen or so kings who were struggling, "Fellow Daoists, today Wushang will help you to attain enlightenment and go together to break through the King and meet the Emperor."

The next moment, he made a ruthless move, joining forces with the Crimson King and others to suppress all the remaining Immortal Kings, and sent them all into the sacrificial bowl to await enlightenment and nirvana.

At this moment, however, the Peacock King was getting restless. He felt that his position was becoming somewhat unstable. With the entire alien realm surrendering, and so many top experts and giants, his flawless cultivation seemed to be insufficient.

It wasn't just him; even Tianhuang, Tianxuan, and Gouchen felt a sense of crisis, realizing their strength was falling behind!

They are the first batch of veteran officials; we cannot let newcomers steal their favor!
Looking at this scene, Wang Hongwu smiled and looked at the little old man who was torn to pieces on the ground. "Kun Di, what are your thoughts?"

"The victor is king, the loser is villain. I have lost. Let's make our move!" Kundi closed his eyes and felt that the prophecy of that year had indeed come true. Blood and fire would engulf the alien land, but the alien land would also rise again and shine brightly throughout the heavens.

Unfortunately, it's no longer their foreign land.

The new era has no ship to carry these remnants of the old era.

"Hehehe, the old alien realm is destroyed from this day forward. Everything will start anew." Wang Hongwu activated his royal law, grabbed Kundi, and immediately began to refine him, intending to transform him into his first supreme giant-level Dharma Protector King.

Layer upon layer of royal radiance enveloped Kundi, pressing him directly into the sacrificial bowl to undergo baptism. It would take a considerable amount of time to enlighten a being of this level.

In the arena, only the sixteen Immortal Kings, including Wu Shang, remained, surrounding Wang Hongwu without uttering a word.

The foreign land was transformed, becoming the domain of the Heavenly Father, and all the other kings became emperors.

The news spread like wildfire across the foreign land, causing a great upheaval.

"The alien realm was defeated and taken over?"

"Who is so powerful? Is someone who can rival the Butcher and his two companions?"

"Kun Di is comparable to Qu Zhong and Dao Wang, yet he led so many people to defeat him. It's unimaginable."

The Boundary Sea was swept by towering waves, and even the Fallen Immortal Kings were terrified. The name of the Heavenly Father shook the world, and everyone knew of it. Such a feat was truly glorious.

In particular, his physical achievements are widely known. Not only does he have a flawless Great World within his body, but he also has the blessing of the King's Mother Gold, the King's Weapon, and the Undying Scripture, leading many to believe that he can withstand the storms in the Boundary Sea.

Because physical cultivation is not difficult, but reaching the pinnacle is extremely difficult. Those who truly succeed in cultivation are extremely terrifying beings, the most difficult to deal with. They traverse countless worlds with their physical bodies and suppress all great calamities with their physiques, and are legendary as invincible.

Even the people from the Immortal Realm who were watching the battle were stunned. They had already set up the Immortal Realm's World-Destroying Array and were ready to attack at any moment, but it ended just like that.

What were they there for?
What is the Immortal Realm, which has been fighting against other realms for so long?
Wouldn't this make them look unprofessional? The kings were all stunned, feeling a sense of absurdity. These were their long-time nemesis!
Since the fall of the emperor, countless eras have passed. In the end, the Heavenly King stepped into the foreign land, and the battle ended. The foreign land was thus pacified, and this great scourge became a thing of the past, no longer a threat.

"Is it over already?" Even Qi Yu felt it was a bit like a dream. The great enemy of the Immortal Realm was gone, the cause and effect of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had been settled, and it was all just the work of one person. In one battle, they had accomplished a feat that they had never been able to achieve since the fall of the emperors.

"Then, will he return to the Immortal Realm?" Some of the powerful figures were also stunned, not knowing what to say. The alien realm was directly ruled by the Heavenly King, so he probably wouldn't care about the Immortal Realm anymore.
Upon hearing this, all the kings fell silent.

Meanwhile, in another realm, Wang Hongwu was inspecting his territory. He had reshaped this land and rivers, and with a wave of his hand, all the races connected to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were enlightened and instantly awakened. Now, the outer reaches of the realm are calm, and all calamities have been swept away by him.

Of course, the Boundary Sea also contains powerful figures who left the alien realm in the past, as well as old monsters from the era of the Fallen Emperors. If they were to truly return, a battle would inevitably ensue, especially with the alien ancestor mentioned by the Immortal Kings, a figure comparable to the Burial Domain Ancestor, the Burial Master. His strength is no less than that of the Butcher and his ilk, and he is undoubtedly the closest being to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, though his whereabouts are unknown. But now, the collections of the Kings, accumulated over billions of years, have all fallen into his possession. These are all peerless treasures, some of which even ordinary giants cannot refine, possessing the ability to contend with, or even besiege, Immortal Kings!
This is an unimaginable treasure trove, containing countless wonderful items, many of which are sacred artifacts renowned throughout history, including ancient scriptures containing profound mysteries, elixirs, and other magical medicines refined from numerous elixirs.

Those ancient scriptures and secret techniques were all integrated into the King's Law; materials such as immortal gold were transformed into his body, making the King's Mother Gold even more solid. Wang Hongwu even found two world-shaking treasures: the World Stone and the Chaos Immortal Marrow.

The former was transformed after the destruction of the Great Realm, while the latter is a rare divine object since the beginning of time, capable of being used to forge supreme immortal artifacts.

"Perfect timing. I'll first integrate this World Stone into my body to facilitate the evolution of my physical form. Looking ahead, it could evolve into the human body, the heavens, and the calamity land, but I clearly don't have that ability right now. So I'll start by evolving the primordial immortal realm and the alien world, and then transform it into the sea of ​​realms, step by step."

Wang Hongwu quickly came up with an idea. He integrated the World Stone into his body's Great Realm, and on its side, he created the prototype of another Great Realm. He incorporated the sacred substances absorbed from the Origin Ancient Artifact into it, which evolved into the Dark Alien Realm, which was in opposition to the Primordial Ancient Realm.

Unlike the six immortal species that evolved and supported the primordial immortal realm, this realm is made of pure dark matter. In some respects, it is slightly weaker, but its corrosive power is stronger.

Originally, this great world would evolve very slowly, but after the Chaos Immortal Essence and the divine objects of the kings were successively integrated into it, the speed of evolution spanned from the creation of heaven and earth to the evolution of all things, and it evolved completely directly. It was only missing a corresponding World Tree, which was not difficult to find in the World Sea.

What he needs is a corrupted, decadent World Tree. There are countless destroyed worlds in the World Sea. He just needs to find one, place it in it, and let it evolve. Then he can kill a few fallen immortal kings as fertilizer and it will quickly take shape.

Boom! The next moment, Wang Hongwu stood up, and two phantom images of great worlds were directly reflected on his body. They were incredibly heavy. It was unimaginable that the creation of one world could bring a person together.

Moreover, the creature from the Boundary Sea that he killed was also refined into a Secret Realm Seed. Now he possesses fifteen King-level Secret Realm Seeds, commands sixty-one Immortal Kings from another realm, and is a behemoth force when he enters the Boundary Sea.

The entire alien realm trembled with his breath, because Wang Hongwu activated his system, using his power of shepherding the heavens to refine this realm and graze it!

To graze one's herds and reap the rewards of all kings, the Boundary Sea is the best place.

"Brother Dao!" Just then, the people from the Immortal Realm arrived.

Qi Yu and the others looked at the Immortal Kings with devout expressions and were speechless. Not long ago, they were enemies fighting to the death, but now they have become one family.

Judging from their appearance, they were much more devout than the believers who worshipped the Heavenly King Temple in the Immortal Realm.

"From this day forward, the foreign lands will be my grazing grounds, and there will be no more trouble." Wang Hongwu knew what they were thinking, so he spoke directly.

At the same time, he swept his hand, and many treasures of the Immortal Kings fell into the hands of Pan Wang, Hunyuan Immortal King, Gu Wang, and Qi Yu. He laughed and said, "In a while, I will be entering the Boundary Sea. I will have to trouble you to take care of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist." Qi Yu cupped his hands in greeting. With him, the number one in the Immortal Realm, protecting the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would be no problem. Pan Wang and the other two also nodded. They were close to the Nine Heavens, so there was no need for them to say more.

Upon seeing this, Ao Sheng and the other two's expressions changed slightly. They had been planning to cause trouble for the Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but now it seemed impossible.

Moreover, Wang Hongwu himself left a passage within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, so that even if something unexpected happens in the future, he can cross the boundary sea and return.

A moment later, the kings of the Immortal Realm returned, still somewhat dazed. The fact that a foreign land had been ruled by humans was a momentous event, one that would surely be recorded in history, becoming a glorious chapter that would never fade, leaving behind a most significant mark.

After watching them leave, Wang Hongwu sat cross-legged in the foreign ancestral temple with a calm expression, thus isolating himself from the influence of the sacred substance on the outside world. He was about to do something.

Cultivate Dark Mother Gold!

Previously, the material level was insufficient to evolve the product he desired, but now that he has divine material, he can give it a try.

Inside the Golden Temple, the ancient artifacts of origin floated and swayed, flowing with nine-colored luster and bursting with sacred light. They were dazzling and filled with an aura of holiness and peace. Wang Hongwu activated them and cut a portion of his own Mother Gold of All Things and placed it inside, waiting for the transformation.

In an instant, light soared into the sky, strange phenomena appeared, and countless gods and demons roared, carrying a terrifying aura that seemed to threaten to destroy the world.

The ancient artifact seemed to have come back to life, trembling and roaring as if it were alive, emitting a terrifying light. The light rain fell like real liquid, splashing onto the mother gold of all things, causing it to ripple and twist. In theory, such inanimate objects should not change, but longevity elixirs and corpses will change when they come into contact with them, so there is no reason why immortal gold cannot.

"Not enough." Wang Hongwu made another move, using Kundi's incantation to activate it. Finally, an even more violent change occurred. Nine-colored light shot into the sky, tearing apart the temple and almost severing the river of time.

As you can see, the illusory image of a long river is unstable and is causing great turmoil in this place. This box is sacred, but it is emitting terrifying sounds. During the opening process, it is accompanied by countless strange phenomena, such as the fall of innate gods in large numbers, countless dark cages, and dazzling rain of flying immortal light. Various scenes are intertwined, as if an ancient history is emerging.

Wang Hongwu's double pupils shone brightly as he stared at the spot, finally discerning what it was: a ball of light, flowing with nine colors.

It was so dense that the light had liquefied, like celestial elixir, revealing a bone staff that was as white as jade, yet swirled with a dense dark essence.

Any other Celestial King would have been shattered and nothing would have been left here, but he was able to watch unscathed, which is truly terrifying.

A wisp of imperial light enveloped his body. Wang Hongwu did not activate it further, otherwise the bone staff would probably have emerged. The current level was already sufficient, driving the transformation of the Mother Metal of All Things!
Its true form is distorted, bearing many traces of depravity, and even imprinted with patterns on the surface of ancient artifacts, about to transform into entirely new dark mother gold.

"In the future, if we possess both the Mother Gold of All Things and the Mother Gold of Darkness, will we be able to merge them into the ultimate source of everything, the Mother Gold of Origin?" Wang Hongwu speculated on the future direction, feeling that a stronger and more essential substance was needed to support it.

At this very moment, due to the opening of the ancient artifact and the great changes in the alien realm, two places felt a sense of urgency.

Firstly, there was a burial area where a clay pot buried deep underground was gently shaking, as if some ancient being had been revived.

"Ancient artifacts have been activated once again? A third spokesperson has emerged."

A voice rang out, extremely ancient, it was the legendary Burial Master!

The true progenitor of the Burial Domain, whose corpse was resurrected by the illumination of the ancient artifacts of origin, even the chicken farmers are his descendants.

This progenitor was among the first beings to come into contact with the ancient artifacts of origin, but he has been gone and silent for countless eons.

Everyone thought he was dead, but who would have thought that he had sealed himself in an earthenware jar and buried it in the burial ground?

Because the deceased had been to the Boundary Sea but had fled back, he had witnessed the boundless terror on the other side of the Boundary Sea, and thus had been lying dormant for many years.

In the past, he had met the progenitor of another realm, who was ambitious and wanted to break through the kings and meet the emperor. He even fought with several old kings who created the system in the immortal realm, and knocked down the ancient hall of guidance. He wanted to cross to the other side, but he was impaled on the spot by a flying chain and became a gatekeeper. His fate is unknown.

Since then, the Burial Master has understood that the other shore is not to be entered. Even the ancestors of other realms with similar strength to him met a tragic end. Will he be alright?

Meanwhile, at the end of that boundary sea, at the place of landing, a similar change occurred.

Inside the ancient temple perched atop the dam, a desiccated corpse, chained and pinned to the doorway, opened its eyes and croaked, "Our clan's ancestral artifact has been activated, and a second representative has appeared. He is... the Lord of Another Realm?!"

When those four words appeared, the withered corpse shuddered violently, revealing a ferocious aura.

This is interesting. He's the ruler of another realm, so who am I?
