The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 286 Destroying Forbidden Zones, King of Kings

The myriad realms have a long history, having endured countless calamities, yet always rising from the ashes to be reborn.

With the heavens above and misfortune beside us, this world has been in the years since the Great Sacrifice. All the heavens are in decline, all realms are in ruins, and not a single being from the ultimate realm can be seen.

The Immortal King realm is considered by most to be the pinnacle of power, a level that is considered unattainable in the heavens.

Long ago, a being rose to prominence and reached the pinnacle of the Kingly Path. Just as he was about to advance further, he was mysteriously robbed. A terrifying path manifested and swallowed him up. After that, he completely disappeared and never appeared again.

"Do ultimate evolvers really exist? Was that person from back then as powerful as this Heavenly Father, ruling the realm of the King's Way?"

In the mortal realm, many old monsters were looking up in awe. The strength and foundation that Wang Hongwu had just displayed were too terrifying, making him a potential overlord who could unify the land.

According to ancient historical records, the ultimate evolved being is not just a theoretical concept; it may have been achieved by people in the most ancient times.

For example, such a master may have appeared during the era of the Burial of Heaven!

However, in that era, not only was the heavens buried, but too much of the mortal realm was also buried. Some believe that the era of burying the heavens buried the Heavenly Emperor, while others say that it buried the Heavenly Court.

Some people have even absurdly suggested that the sky that was buried might be: Heaven!

But how could Heaven destroy it?

"You may not yet know that an unprecedented upheaval has officially begun in all the heavens. What will become of us? A crossroads that will determine our fate is right before us."

The former Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Immortal Realm, and the Otherworld have returned, clearly sharing the same origins. The Heavenly Father who unified the Three Realms may very well become the new ruler of all heavens!

With just this one sentence, an endless storm was stirred up, and the leaders of countless races throughout the heavens were all terrified.

The title of "Lord of All Heavens" carries immense weight. Once achieved, one could very well become a true Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Who wouldn't care?

Strangely, within the Ten Ancient Realms, some living fossils remained unusually silent. This was because, according to some ancient texts, whenever a supreme ruler was born across the myriad realms, after a period of glory and prosperity, what followed was:
The fall of an empire!

boom!
The earth trembled violently during the Third Calamity, and the great war between the kings that erupted there once again brought people's thoughts back to the present.

The blood-red light that had just pierced the heavens and earth disappeared, and the world went dark for a moment without any light before finally returning to normal.

Although it was brief, people knew that a Celestial King had already been slain!
One hundred and forty kings charged in, completely overwhelming everything in their path. In a single exchange, they shattered the boundary wall and destroyed the formations of the Three Tribulations Realm. One after another, the ancient ancestors died violently, leaving them with no hope of resistance.

"You have truly dared to attack my clan! Do you really not know the glory of the Three Tribulations Clan?"

"You bastards! Our ancestors were beings who stepped into the ultimate realm. You are truly ignorant of your own limitations, daring to provoke us!"

In an instant, the Three Tribulations Realm was in danger of destruction. The Immortal Kings who remained there showed up one after another. Even though some of them left with the Ancient Ancestor, there were still double digits of them, and their foundation was terrifying.

However, opposite them stood one figure after another, all wearing ancient armor, silent and motionless, each exuding a terrifying aura of blood, even dyeing the mountains and rivers crimson!
Although they remained motionless, like ancient fossils, they were incredibly awe-inspiring. The world seemed to crack, the starry sky trembled, and the atmosphere was tense and oppressive.

These foreign kings are all incredibly ancient, and their figures can even be found in ancient books. However, unexpectedly, the executioners who used to hunt down and destroy other great realms have turned around and started attacking the forbidden lands of the heavens. It's truly an internal strife.

"What does the glory of our ancestors have to do with you?" Kundi's voice was cold, and his pupils turned into a terrifying silver cross. He had already set his sights on the strongest member of the Three Tribulations Sparrow Clan, who was also an unparalleled giant.

Wu Shang smiled, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, which only made him look more sinister. He said, "Why waste words with them? Just wipe them out!"

"A bunch of madmen! We were unharmed when the Heavenly Emperor fell, and you think you can turn the world upside down?" Among the creatures in the forbidden area, one stood amidst flames that seemed to burn the Thirty-Three Heavens. He was also incredibly hot-tempered and charged straight over.

In an instant, the kings clashed, their blood energy surging like a vast ocean, causing the entire Three Tribulations Realm to tremble and transform into a blood-red world.

"Heavenly Father, do you think what they say is true? Are there really any creatures that broke the king's and saw the emperor but have not returned?" The Peacock King carried Wang Hongwu and fought outside the border. With a sweep of its tail feathers, all the lingering effects disappeared, leaving nothing behind.

"Whether they exist or not is unimportant. They won't be able to return from this period of time. By the time they return, I will have already become a Dao Ancestor, and killing them will be a piece of cake." Wang Hongwu said calmly. The so-called ancient ancestors should have gone to the ancient land of the Soul River, completely surrendered to the beings on that side, and undergone the baptism and nirvana of dark matter, often sleeping for thousands of years.

He gazed at the great battle below, and the sacrificial bowl at his waist flew out to collect his primordial spirit for use in enlightenment.

These forbidden lands are for lambs, who need the guidance of shepherds to submit to the heavens and turn from darkness to light.

"Those people all seem to match the kings in ancient history!"

"I've seen that Immortal Refining Pot in ancient history. It was used to refine an Immortal King to death. Its owner was apparently named Kundi?"

"The owner of the bronze halberd is immune to all magic, and his bloodline still flows throughout the heavens, seemingly the Wushang clan?"

"That stove belongs to the Red King from ancient history, and that cattail tree—wasn't it recorded that he died long ago? How come he's alive again?"

"Hmm, that golden spear seems to belong to a king who is very skilled at displaying his divine power in front of others."

During the great war, beings from all walks of life searched through ancient books and histories, and actually found some records that matched some of the kings.

Those people were all infamous and had swept across many eras. When facing the younger generation of kings, they could truly be said to be overwhelming.

When the name of the Venerable One is recited, a series of wondrous phenomena appear, illuminating all the worlds.

The Otherworld disappeared early, unlike the Immortal Realm which experienced a collapse. Therefore, its historical records are relatively abundant. The records of many other great realms were basically lost in the historical gaps along with the shattering of civilizations.

"I possess the Four Swords that cleave the heavens; one sword can slay ten thousand immortals!"

Below, the kings of the Three Tribulations Sparrow went berserk, unleashing their unparalleled skills and unleashing an extremely astonishing aura, sharp and incomparable, capable of cleaving through ten thousand immortals!

Kun Di snorted coldly. The Immortal Refining Pot collided with the sword light, annihilating the void. It was extremely terrifying, with chaos overflowing and churning, as if the heavens and earth were being created.

In a short period of time, the kings have taken action and destroyed the territory of the Three Tribulations Realm Clan, killing twenty Immortal Kings. The clan's kings have been reduced to only the last three ancestors.

It's not that they're not strong, it's just that there are too many people on the other side!

This wasn't one-on-one; it was six or seven people ganging up on one person!

how to spell?
Can't fight!
"You forced me to do this! Now, let the Dao of our ancestors take over!" The last three ancient ancestors were enraged. Forced to use their hidden strength, their primordial spirits surged, and silver-white flames rose from their foreheads, their power growing abnormally.

This is very strange. These creatures seem to be able to communicate with unknown places, summon the power of ancestors, and even remnants of souls and traces of the Dao. It is extremely terrifying.

Moreover, some people were setting up a field using special tools. This field is another name for an array, but it is more optimized and can be set up by directly drawing on the power of heaven and earth.

Unfortunately, this arrangement was completely thwarted by the Sword King and Qu Zhong. With a single slash, the people and materials were cut in two, and with a smashing gourd, everything vanished into thin air.

"Is it meaningful?" The ancient ancestor from another realm sneered. No matter how much power they could borrow, they could not surpass the realm of the King's Way. Even if they truly understood the foundation of the ancestral artifact, they would still have the confidence to fight against it.

"Don't speak too confidently. There are always things in this world that you can't understand, and there are creatures that you need to look up to and revere. You can hardly imagine what's behind the forbidden areas. Times are changing, years are passing, and many things have changed. Some glories are destined to fade and decline forever."

At this moment, the Three Tribulations Sparrow's voice changed, becoming ancient and weathered. It had actually borrowed the power of the Dao traces left by its ancestors. That aura was terrifying, causing the heavens and earth to collapse and the void to crack completely.

Moreover, they truly unleashed their hidden power. A sword resembling a tail feather flew out, surrounded by three halos: one as black as ink, one as red as blood, and one as dark and eerie as gray. It was imbued with tribulation power and was a true ultimate weapon!

"That is the ultimate weapon left behind by the ancestors of this clan, truly surpassing the Kingly Way!" The beings of the mortal realm were shocked. Although that sword was not the divine weapon of the ancestors of this clan, it was also personally refined by them, making it too easy to kill those who were on the Kingly Way.

Can those foreign kings withstand it?
Amidst the astonished and uncertain gazes of all beings from various realms, the ancient ancestor from another realm bowed to the extraterrestrial king Hongwu and respectfully said, "Please, Heavenly Father, bestow upon me this weapon to quell the chaos."

"Lend me a sliver of light." Wang Hongwu flicked his finger, and the bone staff and bone crown flew out and fell into the hands of the alien master.

In an instant, a nine-colored mist enveloped it, and it also exuded a terrifying aura that surpassed even the most powerful kings.

"I possess the Four Heavenly Swords, and I will borrow another era from the heavens!" At this moment, the three ancient ancestors of the Three Tribulations Sparrow joined forces, urging the feather sword to unleash their ultimate technique.

Having survived three great calamities, his ancestors created this profound skill. The second sword technique alone required borrowing an entire era from the heavens.

Although the sword light had not yet appeared, it was already chilling enough to send shivers down one's spine; this second sword strike would most likely be extremely terrifying.

"Borrow my ass!" the alien sneered, swinging the imperial weapon formed by the fusion of the bone crown and bone staff, and slashing down fiercely.

Boom!

As swords clashed, the heavens collapsed, time flowed, and the universe crumbled like waves crashing down. The clash between the two was not about borrowing an era, but about creating a new one, both employing boundless power that surpassed the limits of the kingly way.

"A clash of ultimate weapons?" "Incredible! They really do have ultimate secrets!"

All races were shocked; the appearance of this artifact truly brought about a completely different meaning.

However, in the clash, the outcome was a one-sided suppression. The alien master blasted the feather sword away with a single blow, causing all three ancient ancestors of the Three Tribulations Sparrow to tremble violently, cough up blood, and have their bodies crack. Their lives were in danger, and the situation was extremely critical.

"How is this possible? Even the ancestral artifact failed?" They couldn't believe it. That was a true ultimate attack, yet it was broken through. Was their forbidden area really going to be destroyed today?
Boom! In the next moment, the kings from other realms made their move, completely sweeping through this world and suppressing the last three, throwing them into the sacrificial bowl.

"Reporting to the Heavenly Father, I have fulfilled my mission and have pacified this land!"

Only then did the princes return, bow to Wang Hongwu, having already pacified a forbidden area.

The entire process took only a short while.

This was like a dream, leaving all living beings in the world somewhat dazed. The forbidden land, which had stood for thousands of years and survived countless calamities, was just leveled like that.
It’s too fast!

“Not bad.” Wang Hongwu nodded slightly, then opened his mouth and inhaled, and the vast Three Tribulations Realm burst into his body, becoming part of the human body’s myriad heavens.

A vast realm, a forbidden land, has thus come to nothing.

"Something big is about to happen. When those Three Tribulation Sparrows who are suspected of entering the River of Souls return and see this scene, they will go crazy!" someone murmured, feeling that a storm was about to sweep across the entire heavens.

Many others, however, turned their attention to the remaining forbidden areas, because the situation was delicate, and they wondered what choices they would make.
"The Three Tribulations Land has been destroyed?" The beings of Xingyu Heaven were dumbfounded. Today was truly outrageous. Not only did someone attack the forbidden land, but they actually destroyed one of the forbidden lands. It hadn't appeared for many years.
"Those who came from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths all have a grudge against the Forbidden Land." The creatures of the Chaos Abyss sighed, while spreading the message that they should join forces to deal with this calamity.

The creatures in Soul Light Cave were silent, as if they were burning incense and praying, informing some being in the unseen realm.

The people of Silent Ridge were much more radical, shouting, "Destroy the Forbidden Land! Who does he think he is? Doesn't he know what we are connected to? Once those sources appear, all the heavens will collapse! This is a path to death!"

"Too much nonsense."

The next moment, Wang Hongwu looked over with a cold expression, his fists clenched tightly, and instantly the flames of myriad paths ignited, outlining brilliant trails of light and flame. Each trail was a great world, containing the Dao and the heart of heaven of that world. The vast trails merged into one, outlining a great millstone that could suppress all heavens and ages, and roared forward.

It was a world-shaking fist light that stirred up the myriad cycles of heaven and earth, sweeping across the vast universe, carrying fragments of time, as if it truly brought a grand scene of an era to bloom here.

The world is vast and boundless, but at this moment, it lacks the grandeur, magnificence, and overwhelming power of that fist light, which overwhelms the world and reaches everywhere!
This is the Myriad Paths Fist, a massive force encompassing the Primordial Immortal Realm, the Dark Alien Realm, and half of the Boundary Sea. It is also covered with patterns of the Mother Gold of All Things and the Mother Gold of Darkness, intertwining into a terrifying fist force that vaguely exceeds the limits of the Kingly Path, directly blasting into the Silent Extinction Ridge!

With a loud bang, many creatures closed their eyes and shed stinging tears. The place where the fist sound erupted was the real location of the Silent Ridge.

This forbidden land is very mysterious. It is located in the heavens, overlooking the rise and fall of humankind, and its status is quite transcendent.

But now, this forbidden area has been blown open, leaving a huge fist-shaped hole that has destroyed the clan's ancestral home and wiped out the direct descendants and core bloodlines!
The fists roared, the place crumbled, heads rolled, all paths turned to ash, immortal kings perished, and the great formation vanished.

Whether it was a flawless king, a supreme expert, or even a giant, it was all useless. In an instant, they were crushed by that vast size, their bodies dissolved by the light of the fist, and their bodies fell into the sacrificial bowl.

They didn't even have a chance to use their resources; just because of that arrogant remark, they became the second forbidden zone to fall.

The ancient land that once stood proudly above all realms is now shrouded in darkness, transformed into a gaping hole.

"One punch?" "One punch!" "One punch..."

All the immortal kings of the realms were stunned at this moment, repeatedly uttering two words: one punch!
With a single punch, he pierced through all enemies, entered the forbidden area, slaughtered countless foes, and stained the entire realm with blood.

But those who resisted were instantly blown apart, leaving not even ashes, blasted into nothingness, their power overwhelming!
That's how domineering and unparalleled it is.

Above and below, only the fist imprint shone brightly and fiercely, boundless and vast, turning an entire realm into the past and a forbidden land into history.

Silent Ridge ceased to exist from that time on.

Wang Hongwu's punch was terrifying, wiping out an entire clan in a single blow!

"The Three Tribulations Land is gone, and so is the Silent Extinction Ridge? What kind of monsters have emerged from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?"

"No, what happened? Has he already broken through the King-level barrier and met the Emperor? How could he destroy a forbidden area with a single punch and kill so many Immortal Kings?"

In the mortal realm, the old monsters awakened in famous mountains and great rivers were all terrified, their decaying bodies instantly tensing up in shock.

With one punch, the heavens fell silent, and all kings bowed their heads.

Only when the towering fist light disappeared and the boundless brilliance subsided did everything quiet down.

"King of Kings, without a doubt." The Immortal King of the Otherworld sighed. Their lineage of human kings came from the heavens and traveled through various realms, making them knowledgeable and unparalleled in their vision.

But he had never seen such a powerful Immortal King before. He also knew that there was a supreme path of physical evolution in the heavens, but he was certain that even on that path, there was no Immortal King as fierce as him who directly achieved the myriad heavens within his body, encompassing immortal gold and immortal spirits from all realms. If those people knew about this, they would probably come down to compete for his services.

Such a king has almost surpassed all others and can be honored as: King of Kings!
The upheaval caused by the destruction of the forbidden area today has shaken all realms and attracted the attention of many.

"This reminds me of the glorious days of the past, when the Heavenly Court emerged from the nine heavens and ten earths, swept across the forbidden lands, and quelled the chaos."

Some people lamented that there were more than twenty forbidden areas in the heavens in the past, but their exact ranking was unknown. Most of them were eventually destroyed by the Heavenly Court of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, leaving only six. Later, some events happened one after another, and one more was destroyed. As for the five that exist now, it should be said that there are three.

"Yes, even after the collapse of the Heavenly Court, there was a great battle that destroyed the forbidden lands. It was thanks to their backup plan that they succeeded. Back then, the various races were also forced to fight to the death and invaded the Fourth Forbidden Land. At that time, not to mention the talisman that could help people enter the cycle of reincarnation with their memories, they even brought out more powerful things. Of course, the allied forces suffered even more in that battle. They were almost completely wiped out, and the ground was covered with blood and broken bone fragments!"

When the past was mentioned, many Celestial Kings extended their divine senses to supplement each other and fill in the gaps of that year. For the mortal realm, it was a catastrophe, and all races were almost wiped out.

That battle started off smoothly, but when the leader of the Fourth Forbidden Land was revived, the tide turned and all the Celestial Kings in the allied forces were killed!
"At the end of the battle, the Heavenly Court, which had long since collapsed, made a last resort, which also involved the First Mountain. In the end, the First Mountain in the world was completely severed from its roots and crashed into the Fourth Forbidden Area, shattering into pieces." A Celestial King from the mortal realm sighed, then looked at an area where the First Mountain had once stood.

That mountain was the former base of the Heavenly Court.

They say it was left by an emperor, the last fortress and defense of the heavens.

In his final years, that emperor, through the grace of Heaven, ventured into an unknown land and never returned.

Now, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have returned once again. Although it is not the Heavenly Court, but the Celestial Court, it is just as powerful and just as astonishing to all realms with its sudden appearance.

Their leader remains as powerful as ever, and continues to antagonize the forbidden area.

People couldn't help but wonder, would the forbidden area be completely wiped out this time?
