The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 294 Six Emperors Battle Through Time and Space, Four Ancient Lands Appear

First Emperor, Supreme God, Desolate Heaven Emperor, Feather Emperor, Hong Emperor, Azure Emperor.

Beyond the border sea, six emperors rose to power!
The myriad realms of the heavens and the myriad worlds can be said to have reached their zenith in this era, a terrifying peak. Even though the two sides were opposed, the number of these six Dao Ancestors was still astonishing.

Even the heavens above, among those supreme civilizations, could not produce so many true Dao Ancestors.

Six Dao Ancestors! This means that six different evolutionary systems have emerged in the heavens!
Each of the six was a prodigy, possessing the 'hope' to illuminate the heavens even at the end of their paths. Unfortunately, misfortune intervened, deliberately sowing discord and causing the heavens to split and disintegrate, leading to the three Dao Ancestors falling into darkness.

However, emperors are supreme. As time goes by and eras cycle, even if all the heavens are destroyed and all things wither, the emperor's body will remain eternally alive. There is no such thing as degeneration; it is merely their own choice to become the Dark Ancestor.

At this moment, the six emperors confront each other, their systems are unfolding, and the entire dark land is being stretched out, expanding endlessly. It is a terrifying scene.

The six paths of evolution, every inch and every brick and tile, are constructed from profound Dao runes, and every ray of light is a trajectory of the Dao. They extend continuously, accompanying the birth and death of realms, and have expanded the Dark Land to a terrifying extent, making it larger than the Immortal Realm, the Other Realm, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths combined!

If this trend continues, the Dark Land may very well expand to a size comparable to the Boundary Sea due to their battles.

"What's that?" "Six...roads?"

Why is it that just looking at someone or getting close to them gives me the feeling that I'm about to die and my soul will crumble?

The kings outside the Dark Land were horrified. Although those six paths did not pose a killing threat, they could instantly seal the heavens and suppress all living beings.

If they were to go on a killing spree, no living being in the myriad realms would survive; they would be slaughtered to the last man. The difference in power is truly immeasurable.

The Daoist Ancestor was not a mere figurehead.

Even Quasi-Immortal Emperors and Supreme Beings are absolutely different from Immortal Kings, let alone Dao Ancestors.

In the dark land, they stood high above, majestic and sacred, exuding an invincible aura that seemed to look down upon eternity.

“The dead have come back to life. I never imagined that the two who defied the heavenly order back then would also become emperors. But it doesn’t matter, we can kill them again.” The Azure Emperor’s pupils shimmered with light, and the golden glow was as sharp as the heavenly way. He was gradually engulfed by darkness.

"Awakening to eternity, two more emperors have been added to the world. Unfortunately, they do not understand the secrets of heaven and insist on their own way. I can only send them on their way!" Emperor Yu was even more domineering, looking down coldly. In his view, killing one is killing, killing three is also killing. One defeated general who has returned, and two newly accomplished young men, can they turn the world upside down?

You should know that after the fall of the emperor, they didn't just sit idly; after healing their injuries, they also cultivated and made progress!
"The three emperors have risen and fallen, and I see it as yet another era of imperial decline." The Hong Emperor, his body shrouded in purple aura, stood on the path constructed by the symbols of the Great Dao, looking down upon the myriad heavens throughout the ages. As his eyes moved, the long river of time appeared.

"Not much skill, but a big mouth." Shi Hao's voice was calm and indifferent, carrying an air of looking down on the past and present. The imperial sword in his hand shone brightly, pointing at the Hong Emperor, its sharpness fully revealed.

“One for each of us. The one with wings is very arrogant. I’ll kill him.” Wang Hongwu’s gaze swept over the three Dark Emperors, and he had already chosen his prey. His aura was too strong. When the energy between his mouth and nose flowed naturally, it resonated with all the heavens and caused all the worlds to rumble. He was like the source of everything, radiating the Dao and the Law continuously, defining all things.

"You've chosen so quickly, so I can only deal with the Azure Emperor. He's the weakest of the three." The First Emperor shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and stepped forward, directly pressing down on the Azure Emperor, actually making a move.

"Hmph!" The Azure Emperor snorted coldly. He was much stronger than before. A snow-white bone ruler appeared in his hand, as clear as mutton fat jade, emitting a soft light. Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a bone seal. The symbols that erupted between the two severed the river of time, making this moment eternal, and pressed down on the First Emperor.

Without a word, he raised his hand and the Emperor Tower appeared in the sky, instantly expanding to the point of pressing down on the dark land. It suddenly descended and crushed down. This strike was unparalleled in the world. The immense pressure collided with the bone ruler and bone imprint. The battle between the two emperors lasted for ages!
"Young man, pointing your sword at me will come at a price." Emperor Hong's disheveled hair flew wildly, making him look like a demon lord. His eyes changed, one as black as ink and the other as white as a terrifying sight. Then, he manifested Yin and Yang, and with a boom, a Yin-Yang diagram flew out from there, suppressing everything. Moreover, the Yin-Yang diagram was still evolving, giving rise to the primordial chaos. One diagram contained all phenomena and exhausted all changes. It was indeed stronger than Emperor Cang.

"Anyone who has said such things to me is dead." Shi Hao made a direct move, splashing ink to create a magnificent scroll, as if the heavens and earth were being created, depicting an invincible scene. The vast heavens, countless universes, and all the thoughts, ideas, and laws and principles that have been passed down from ancient times to the present all appeared in the starry sky around him, surging and surging.

All the celestial realms, with their tangible forms, are constructed from indestructible scriptures, making them extremely sturdy. The moment the scroll appeared, it blocked the Yin-Yang diagram, rendering its evolution into chaos and primordial chaos futile, firmly impeding its existence.

Then, following Shi Hao's principles, the entire scroll of the heavens surged. As his body and primordial spirit resonated, one after another, towering figures appeared in the great realms around him, surpassing the myriad domains beneath his feet, like chaotic gods and demons walking from before the creation of the world.

When Wang Hongwu and the First Emperor turned around, they felt as if they had seen something familiar before, and saw many blurry yet familiar figures.

The first person resembled the First Emperor, with a nine-story, nine-cornered tower hanging above his head. With a roar, he charged into the vast ancient kingdom behind the Hong Emperor. The second person resembled Wang Hongwu, waving a red flag that swept across the heavens and destroyed the light bridge beneath the Hong Emperor's feet. The third person had a blurred face, stood on a large cauldron, and radiated boundless primordial energy and alloy light. He punched the Hong Emperor.

The fourth person, the fifth person... and finally even the Primordial White Sparrow Emperor of Heaven and the Supreme Being of the Ancient Underworld appeared, manifesting from the scroll. They confronted and attacked the Hong Emperor together.

"Good young man!" Emperor Hong's eyes flashed, and he dared not be careless again. Even though they had cultivated for thousands of years, the newcomer was not inferior in the slightest.

Shi Hao's power was earth-shattering as soon as he made a move, clearly indicating that he was an extraordinary figure.

Wang Hongwu withdrew his gaze. It seemed that Shi Hao had also met Ye Fan. He stared at the strongest, the Feather Emperor. The two men's gazes were cold and icy, like sharp blades cutting through the heavens, creating a series of ripples in the dark land, vast and endless.

"You do not belong to this era. Do you understand the consequences and price of your reckless actions?" Emperor Yu flapped his wings. He was the strongest among the three emperors and had already seen through the secrets of heaven. The emperor in front of him should not belong to this era. However, unlike those who cross the river of time and go against the current, this method actually bypassed the backlash of time. It was very strange.

"Wrong. Time has no upper or lower limit for me. I can exist in different points in time at the same time. Besides, you've misunderstood something." Wang Hongwu smiled and slowly stepped forward, saying, "Killing you would be too wasteful. What I want is you!"

"Heh, heh ha, hahaha!" Upon hearing this, the Feather Emperor burst into laughter, his laughter growing colder and colder, his murderous aura growing stronger, until finally he uttered only two words: "You're courting death!"

At the same time, Wang Hongwu directly overwhelmed everyone, his arrogance soaring to the heavens, his invincible spirit undisguised. His pupils glowed, and with a roar, the heavens cracked, and the vast space-time sank and fell. He unleashed a punch and a palm strike, the surging power of the human body and the myriad heavens erupting from the fist shadow, and the Great Dao of myriad worlds gathered in his palm and fingers, transforming into an unparalleled palm print that slammed down.

The Tai Sui medicinal tree also flicked its wrist, revealing a wisp of calamity energy. Countless universes rose and fell in layers, continuously generating and opening up. Every moment, more and larger universes appeared than before, constructing a multiverse as the fist and palm pressed down on Emperor Yu.

The fist encompasses all heavens, the palm pushes through myriad realms, and one breath transforms into multiple dimensions!

His first move was astonishing. Even the arrogant Emperor Yu exclaimed "Good!" and suddenly drew a scarlet spear from his hand. It was the Emperor-Slaying Spear that had killed the First Emperor during the Fall of the Emperors!

Behind him, the methods of slaughter and the path of killing emperors manifested. The seemingly holy Feather Emperor actually followed the path of iron-blooded killing and was most skilled in attack and slaughter. At this moment, he used the law to break the law. He reflected the scene of rivers of blood flowing through the heavens and the scene of corpses lying and collapsing in all worlds. The spear of multi-dimensional collapse and self-destruction came out, not retreating half a step. He was so arrogant that he wanted to defeat the enemy with the law of the same origin.

With a deafening roar, the two men's powerful strike shattered the infinitely expanding dark land, giving rise to a vast and boundless cosmic cluster. Each fragment continued to expand and split, only to be swept away by their dissipating aftershocks. Suddenly, a long river appeared, a condensation of time, and they charged into it.

However, at this level, life and death, whether for enemies or all things, are in their hands. In just a single thought, the collapsed world is reshaped.

Unfortunately, the kings could not see them. They did not know where the six emperors had gone. Only the newly created world clusters remained, leaving them bewildered.

A great war broke out between the emperors. Who has ever seen it since the beginning of time? At least, no living being in the Immortal Realm, the Other Realm, or the Boundary Sea has ever witnessed it.

Even the Celestial King couldn't see it; he could only dream about it.

Right now, the river of time is surging, and the years are relentlessly crushing everything. This place is in chaos. Their avatars and their physical forms are crisscrossing, traversing the river of time, and fiercely battling each other.

At a glance, the Shi Hao Dao Palace reflects the past self, the Dao self, and the original self. The First Emperor transformed into the Three Pure Ones from one breath, Wang Hongwu enlightened the other self, the Feather Emperor's killing incarnation, the Azure Emperor's sacrificial imperial shadow, and the Hong Emperor's chaotic divided spirit. A group of people are scattered at various points in time, yet they fight in a strange synchronization, distorting the flow of time and space.

Leaving aside the Dao Ancestor, even Quasi-Immortal Emperors and Supreme Beings could fight in realms outside this era. To be precise, they have the capability to act in that spacetime, provided they don't interfere in matters beyond this era; otherwise, they would have to contend with the karmic consequences of their own time and space. This is because the river of time and space in the myriad realms is unique; shaking a region is tantamount to a great confrontation with all the connected beings within that river!

Some people don't care about change, while others do, which leads to resistance and conflict. Such changes in a major war are naturally weaknesses, hence the reluctance to do so, not the inability.

At this moment, if a Quasi-Immortal Emperor were to observe from the long river of time, he would see six figures attacking wildly, exchanging palm strikes in the Immortal Ancient Era, unleashing punches in the Underworld Ancient Era, delivering heavy blows in the Cambrian Era, and staining the Heavenly Martial Era with blood.

Swish! A drop of blood fell, the river of time was severed, time stood still, frozen in that instant, and everything seemed to stop.

For all living things, the scale of time is frozen, but for the six emperors, they are not bound by it, transcending the passage of time, and still making their moves.

The Emperor Sword, Emperor Tower, Bone Seal, Bone Ruler, and other weapons have separated from them, each colliding and rushing into the chaos. They are also creating worlds and fighting a great battle in the nascent universe.

Then, their avatars and supernatural powers traveled downstream along the river of time, fighting fiercely, and went to an unknown era. Meanwhile, the true forms of the six emperors reversed time and headed towards the distant end of antiquity.

Weapons battled in chaos, their forms clashed in the future, while their true forms fought in the past. This power and this posture were beyond the imagination of even the Celestial King.

Their single thought, the destruction or creation of a realm, can influence the passage of time, causing tremors throughout history and the future.

The six emperors fought from the limits of the universe to the end of time, and then into the earth, fire, wind, and water, creating worlds and evolving all things. Whether in the past or the future, the figures of the six emperors were always fighting. However, they were above the river of time and did not affect those spaces and times.

The Feather Emperor's expression was solemn. As his wings flapped, wings also appeared behind Wang Hongwu. These were the Origin Mother Golden Wings, formed by the fusion of the powers of the Thunder Emperor, the Divine Phoenix, the Golden Crow, the Kunpeng, and the Gu, gathering the extreme speed of the heavens. With a single flap, they appeared behind him, cleaving the Emperor-Slaying Spear in two with his bare hands. He then punched the Feather Emperor, only to find that what was in front of him was a phantom of time. The opponent sank directly into the long river, returning to the world from the realm of the living, thus avoiding the attack.

At the same time, mottled dust appeared in the newly emerged Feather Emperor's hand, carrying firelight, and directly struck out a strange palm print that buried the heavens and burned all worlds. Wang Hongwu blocked it with his own palm, transforming that substance.

“Four Extremes Floating Soil? Interesting.” Wang Hongwu stared intently, clearly noticing that the Three Dark Emperors were different from those in history. They had become stronger, had more methods, and were more in line with the concept of ‘Supreme Dao Ancestor’. Moreover, they had had considerable contact with the Four Ancient Lands, and the methods they displayed were all closely related.

It can be said that they are all significantly stronger than in the original history, and it's even possible that the Four Dark Emperors have obtained the power of the corresponding Four Ancient Lands.

In an instant, the medicinal tree behind him magnified, the Primordial Throne unleashed its power, extracting the power of all the myriad paths from the river of time, and the essence of the Lord of Freedom unleashed its power, stirring up cause and effect, and turning the spear that was thrusting at him to kill the emperor. Scenes appeared one after another. In the original historical trajectory, this spear would have pierced Wang Hongwu, but at this moment, two crystal-clear lines of cause and effect emerged, being stirred and grafted together.

Wang Hongwu reversed cause and effect, grafting the consequence of being stabbed onto the Feather Emperor himself. The spear then strangely reversed direction, piercing the Feather Emperor himself. The Dark Dao Ancestor's expression shifted slightly. "Playing with cause and effect?"

This brief moment allowed Wang Hongwu time to build up his killing move, which then manifested itself. It was the power of a great calamity that permeated the long river of time, which he extracted and condensed into a seed of calamity. It was the image of the fallen emperors of yesteryear, the tragic end of the First Emperor, and the scene of him being nailed to death by the Emperor-Slaying Spear. This seed represented that ending.

Then, with a flick of his finger, the seed fell into the history of the Feather Emperor, spreading throughout his past and future, taking root and sprouting, spreading a hazy sound of great calamity, like the ancestral immortals softly chanting, or like the ancestral demons murmuring. In an instant, this sound directly caused people to explode. Even the most powerful beings had splitting headaches and their bodies were about to crack in an instant.

"You're messing up my history?" Emperor Yu felt threatened. His future seemed to have been painted with ink, and an inescapable calamity had appeared!

His physical body was constantly showing signs of injury and cracks. One could see that one after another divine chains of the Great Dao were emerging on his path of evolution, breaking with a series of cracking sounds, creating an incredibly terrifying scene.

*Pfft!* Emperor Yu coughed up blood, a bloody hole appearing between his eyebrows. The injuries that Emperor Yu had suffered were reflected on his body. This was an extremely strange method. When they first met, Emperor Yu suffered a loss, so he couldn't help but shout and use his supreme divine power to expel the blood and draw in the power of a vast ancient land.

Those who are difficult to bury by Heaven, are to be buried among the floating earth at the four corners of the earth.

There, some strange soil floated, with firelight inside, and it was the burial place of a Feather Emperor. Then another Feather Emperor, completely unharmed, flew out from the floating soil and stared at Wang Hongwu with a hint of fear. He had been unknowingly attacked.

This guy's system is really bizarre.

"The Four Extremes Floating Soil, just as I expected." Wang Hongwu's eyes flickered, and he saw the clue. It seemed that this battle would be very unusual.

After Emperor Yu used the power of the Four Extremes Floating Soil, terrifying power also erupted in the two realms of Emperor Cang and Emperor Hong. A great river composed of endless soul light appeared, and an ancient burial pit also emerged. The power of the Soul River and the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit appeared together!

The manifestation of the power of these three ancient lands was like illuminating some kind of coordinates, giving a signal that stirred up great waves in the long river of time.

Then a blurry ancient road appeared, carrying an aura of eternal desolation, stretching from afar and piercing through the void to this place.

Wang Hongwu, Shi Hao, and the First Emperor were all extremely familiar with it; it was a cycle of reincarnation that connected to the ancient underworld.

On the ancient road, the boundless darkness and the dense ominous substance originated from the true underworld. Whether it was the River of Souls or the Burial Pit of the Heavenly Emperor, they were all connected by the ancient road, transmitting information through the paths of the ancient underworld. It was the oldest and most terrifying ancient land.

"Do you really think we're unprepared, waiting for you to come knocking on our door?"

The Azure Emperor sneered, took out a conch shell, and suddenly blew it, unleashing thirteen kinds of divine light. In an instant, the sound resounded throughout the heavens, startling the deathly silence of the ancient underworld, disturbing the tranquility of the Heavenly Emperor's burial pit, stirring up the dust between the four extremes of the floating earth, and stirring up the turbulent waves of the River of Souls.

Amidst the wailing sounds, images of the Dao Ancestor lying dead and sinking were also presented, and the scene of the Immortal King falling was also reflected in various places, with wind and clouds surging and the heavens roaring.

With a whoosh, a great river of soul light flowed out, scattering countless grains of sand. Each grain of sand was the soul light of a living being; this was the place where the souls of all the heavens fell.

On the banks of the River of Souls, a creature truly emerged. With the flapping of its decaying wings, a towering gray mist rose, threatening to engulf all the heavens and myriad realms. It was a truly supreme being.

Its entire body was covered in golden scales, shaped like a human, with black blood flowing from the corner of its mouth, carrying a putrid smell, and its eyes were cold and menacing, like a celestial blade. An ominous aura filled the air, and its three heads swayed and poked out.

Then, on the path leading to the ancient underworld, the sound of metal armor clashing and scraping could be heard. Clanging and ringing, a bull-headed monster appeared, with a human torso but stronger, like a giant, and with the wings of a blood roc, covered in red fur. Its footsteps made the ground tremble slightly.

He appeared with an aura of malevolence, stepped out of the ancient cycle of reincarnation, and stared at the three emperors in the arena.

Buzz! Almost simultaneously, another blurry path appeared. The monster from the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit had arrived. It crawled out of the ancient burial pit. It was terrifying, its body covered in blood mist. It was a thousand times more ferocious than a vengeful ghost, chilling and bizarre, indescribable.

Legend has it that the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit is extremely strange, and the monsters that crawl out of it are of immense power and are incredibly terrifying.

The last road was dark, leading to the unknown, from which a strong wind blew, raising large areas of ash and terrifying dust.

Like ashes, or like the fragments of an indescribable creature that had been obliterated, a strong wind blew through a blurry tunnel, stirring up dust and ash, eerie and chilling, and out emerged a living being.

His figure was blurry, as if he were made from a mixture of broken bones, flesh, and soil.

At this moment, the River of Souls emerges, the Underworld appears, the Burial Pit looms, and floating soil falls. Supreme rulers descend from all four directions, surrounding and killing the Three Emperors!

They will revive the fallen dynasty.
