The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 300 The Changes in Heaven, the Intervention of the Supreme Being

All things in the heavens change, and the supreme being reappears; the gates of Heaven open, and someone returns.

One unexpected event after another, involving the past and the future, rippled outwards in time and space.

"The ants of the heavens do not know good from bad."

At this moment, in the unknown land, someone was whispering, cold and low, accompanied by rising chaotic mist, rapidly heading towards a certain area in the sacrificial sea.

That was no ordinary being; every move it made shook the very fabric of time and rewrote ancient history. Behind it followed countless black phantoms, each a grand sacrifice and a dark era after another!

This is a high priest, and his goal is to offer sacrifices to the heavens in the sea!
The heavens, separated from all other heavens, stand high above, overlooking the river of time. No matter how the world changes, how it is destroyed and revived, the heavens remain above, forever unreachable.

Throughout history, countless geniuses have stood out from the heavens, their brilliance and power have shaken countless eras, yet none have been able to reach such heights.

Even the most rebellious and heroic beings, if they do not enter the heavens, will eventually suffer terrible calamities, become ominous and impure, their souls fall into darkness, and their spirits wither away.

At this moment, the Hall Master of the Reception Hall, Wang Hongwu, and others stepped in and traversed a ravaged battlefield.

The battle here ended long ago, and there are corpses everywhere, including those of the gods and ominous remnants. More importantly, the substance that was released has polluted this area, completely altering the Dao and the environment, and it will be very difficult to take it back.

“There are traces of a battle between supreme artifacts.” The Lord of the Guiding Hall suddenly spoke up, having discovered some traces. The battlefield here involved the fall of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, a battle between Dao Ancestors, and the collision of supreme artifacts.

Wang Hongwu looked around. This area seemed very unusual. Back then, a high priest was able to intervene, and it had probably fallen into the control of ominous beings. But judging from the battles that had broken out, Heaven might have reclaimed this place, and the great battles continued.

Further away, one can see numerous clusters of great realms rising and falling, but they are all shrouded in darkness, fallen into an ominous state, and controlled by the supernatural to advance the battle lines and confront the various realms of the heavens.

At that very moment, within the stronghold of the Celestial Emperor responsible for this area, a Quasi-Immortal Emperor murmured, then looked towards the desolate land and said, "Someone has come along the old, sealed passage?"

“A closed passage can only be opened by a Dao Ancestor. Is it the Calamity Land or the myriad heavens?” Another Quasi-Immortal Emperor pondered, his expression becoming solemn. Perhaps a new round of clashes was about to begin.

In particular, that area is very special, suppressing all sorts of strange and ominous forces, creatures that claim to be ancestors, and sealing one mysterious path after another, which is of great importance.

boom!
Just then, a thunderous roar suddenly came from that area. Not only the area itself, but all the worlds connected by the secret paths trembled violently, causing chaos and upheaval!
"what happened?"

"The heavens collapsing? Or the Dao shaking?"

All the worlds were shocked and looked at the ancient road to the Thirty-Three Heavens with expressions of horror.

Then, various demonic auras soared into the sky, and various sacred energies surged. A fallen emperor roared, trying to break free from his seal; the mangled remains of a supreme being roared as they escaped from a jar, turning the sky crimson in an instant; and mysterious green vines broke free from a clay pot, growing wildly, determined to take root in the three thousand realms…
Wang Hongwu and his group frowned. This area was considered a sealed place by the heavens, and there were ghosts wailing and gods howling everywhere. It suppressed too many mysterious and dangerous things or creatures. Now, many of the seals have cracked, and dangerous auras are emanating. There is even black blood left by supreme beings surging in it!
Even the guardians of the heavens were startled; dust fell from their bodies, and they suddenly opened their eyes, rushing out from the temple's offerings, utterly horrified.

"Disaster!"

A Dao Ancestor, emerging from a supreme civilization, roared and rushed there without hesitation to suppress the chaos.

Visible to the naked eye, a fallen quasi-immortal emperor roared and charged out from a broken altar, the dark matter dense; in another jar, the supreme being also broke free and tried to open the cycle of reincarnation to escape. Just as the First Emperor and Shi Hao were about to do something, Wang Hongwu became interested and said, "Don't fight me for these two little things, they have other uses."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the two ultimate beings. He already had eight supreme seeds, and with these two more, he could directly elevate the Ten Fiend Totems to the level of ten Quasi-Immortal Emperors. If he could further evolve his battle body, he would reach an even higher level.

"Trying to control everything? How arrogant!" "The supreme cannot be insulted!"

The two ultimate beings rose up in resistance, but with a loud bang, the fallen dark blood flew everywhere, and the trajectory of their Great Dao was directly shattered. They were crushed by the giant hand that descended from the sky and pressed to the spot, unable to move.

Simple yet domineering!
He didn't use any complicated secret techniques; he suppressed two quasi-immortal emperors with a single slap!

At the same time, the Tai Sui evolution path covered them, instantly transforming them into two supreme immortal seeds, which, along with the other eight, were integrated into the Ten Fiends Totem, causing it to sublimate once again.

Originally, they were formed from the Origin Mother Gold. Combined with this Immortal Seed, they were powerful among Quasi-Immortal Emperors. A single one could hold its own against a Dao Ancestor, and if attacked by ten Emperors, it could even hunt down a Dao Ancestor.

"Heavens truly are a treasure land, and this land of calamity is indeed fertile soil." Wang Hongwu couldn't help but sigh, "To get rich, you still have to rely on robbery."

"Unfortunately, there are too many humanoids, but very few are truly heinous and worthy of being roasted." Shi Hao said with slight regret. In this life, he had never experienced the hardships of life and death, and his mindset had always been good, retaining his simplicity. Seeing this, the First Emperor had no choice but to take matters into his own hands and suppress the wildly growing demonic vines.

Ye Fan and his companions took a second look. They had fought against similar species before. It was a race that had once surrendered to the Calamity Land. They were very powerful and had produced Dao Ancestors and Quasi-Immortal Emperors.

Then, the Lord of the Reception Hall waved his hand, and everything calmed down again. Even the boiling Supreme Black Blood subsided, and the entire sealed area was dissolved.

Just then, the Heavenly Man arrived. He was an old man shrouded in auspicious clouds, adorned with jewels, golden lamps, and canopies, and possessed great strength. Behind him was an evolutionary path. He came to suppress the upheaval and investigate the identity of the beings who came through the passage.

"A Dao Ancestor, do you come representing the heavens?" the Hall Master of the Guiding Hall asked, immediately recognizing the person's background and even identifying him as someone renowned for his supreme evolution.

"I cannot represent the heavens, but am merely a pioneer in one of the systems. How dare I speak on behalf of the heavens?" The newcomer smiled bitterly, his heart feeling a mix of relief and tension, a complex mix of emotions. He bowed and said, "The supreme civilization of the Three Artifacts, Dao Ancestor Mengshan, greets all the Celestial Emperors."

While it's fortunate that it wasn't an attack from the Calamity Land, the outcome was even more shocking, because it was an Immortal Emperor from an ancient era!
As a Dao Ancestor born from a supreme civilization, he was naturally well aware of the other party's strength and identity; that supreme aura could not be faked.

It's just a mystery how those creatures who fell into depravity back then managed to escape the strange corruption.

However, many powerful beings from the heavens who followed were bewildered, because they had no understanding of that era or that age. Even the most brilliant golden age has now been shrouded in the mists of history.

The Dao Ancestor of the Supreme Civilization explained, "In the past, when the heavens were at their peak, a Supreme Being was born. He quelled the strange and ominous events that arose there and joined hands with our Heaven to fight against the Calamity Land. At that time, he controlled a portion of the four ancient lands. However, later, when he ascended to the Supreme Being, an accident occurred. Some of the chief priests conspired to assassinate him."

As a result, the supreme Dao collapsed, all the heavens fell, and countless ominous substances surged back into the heavens. We then sealed the passage, leading to the situation we see today.

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that it was indeed difficult for beings at the end of the road to die. Even if they were corrupted, they would have their own backup plans to stop or resolve the situation. At worst, they could simply cut off the intact part like the Lord of the Guiding Hall and emerge as supreme beings, only with their power diminished, but they could still recover.

What constitutes a creature at the end of its evolutionary path? It's one that has reached the absolute limit of evolution and can no longer become stronger!
Such beings are indestructible through countless eons. Even if an accident occurs and their body perishes, their essence dissipates, if a single thought touches upon them or contemplates them, that being can be brought back to life. They are truly immortal and indestructible!

Otherwise, why would even the Dao Ancestor yearn for it so much and dedicate his entire life to pursuing it, because only by reaching this realm could he ensure that he would never fall?

The same applies to the Lord of the Reception Hall. As long as someone thinks of him and proves that he has existed, he can live and even cross over to the heavens to carry out a series of actions.

"Fellow Daoists, I'm grateful for your help in clearing up the chaos in the heavens." Then, the Dao Ancestor of Mengshan looked at Wang Hongwu and the other two, bowed, and addressed them as Dao Ancestors.

Everyone suddenly realized that these three were actually Dao Ancestors born from all the heavens? And all of them were in this Great Era?

The Three Great Ancestors, one of whom is the Supreme?
When did that place become so incredible?!
The existence of such beings, and their ability to live to this age, completely overturned their understanding. Wasn't it said that with the change of eras, such beings could never appear again? Staring at Wang Hongwu and Shi Hao, the arriving powerful beings from the heavens were somewhat astonished, because the systems of these two were very powerful. They were created by their own hands, not simply by paving the way. They were even terrifying, more oppressive than the Dao Ancestors they had ever seen.

This is simply unbelievable. Are all the beings in the heavens this strange? High-level powers are hard to come by, but once they do appear, they are bound to be earth-shattering figures.

"For countless years, the Four Emperors of the Boundary Sea have cooperated with the Four Ancient Lands. Heaven must have known this, so why has it never intervened?" The First Emperor looked at Mengshan, and the Dao Ancestor explained, "There are too many hidden reasons and helplessness involved. It is difficult to explain now. Over the years, problems have also arisen within Heaven itself. At first, some people chose to cooperate with the ominous and were misled and used. Later, too much turmoil and bloodshed occurred."

We are also waging war, resolving problems, and even the Dao Ancestor has fallen. The Supreme Beings are locked in a standoff with the Priests, making it difficult for us to intervene in the affairs of the Heavens. This is because those who target the Heavens are mostly the Four Ancient Lands, while we are facing the Calamity Lands above those ancient lands.

Even the heavens are currently engaged in the most intense battle with the Calamity Land, with Dao Ancestors emerging from both sides and even the Supreme Beings clashing!
As they were talking, the Dao Ancestor of Mengshan suddenly changed his expression and said, "This is bad. The battle in this area has just ended and it is not yet stable. The Supreme Beings of the Three Artifact Civilizations are still fighting with the High Priest. They must have noticed the changes here. Those guys from E'tu are probably coming. Let's leave first. We came out in a hurry this time and did not ask for the help of the Supreme Artifacts."

They merely pushed the battle line forward. The great realms controlled by the Evil Earth faction still exist; they were only repelled once. Now, those great realms are hovering outside the passage and will certainly not stand idly by.

Boom! The moment he finished speaking, a vast and mighty force crashed down, shaking the field. In a daze, it seemed as if ten thousand immortals had fallen, billions of gods had collapsed, and all the ancient worlds had crumbled. It was the fluctuation of a supreme artifact!
Everyone's expression changed. They hadn't expected the creatures of Evil Land to be so decisive, immediately activating the high priest's weapon!
That was a supreme strike, catching the heavens off guard. Although the fluctuations of their supreme artifacts could be heard from afar, it was ultimately too late.

Just then, the Lord of the Guiding Hall made his move. He opened his mouth and inhaled, and the terrifying shockwave was dissolved into nothingness, entering his body and causing his damaged body to grow a bit more.

"The passage has truly been opened! People from all the heavens have followed the gap to the heavens, daring to meddle in this battlefield!"

Then, voices rang out, and the powerful figures from the Evil Land side arrived. The leader was a man with eyes like golden lamps, and a head of brilliant golden hair that seemed to be cast in gold. His face was chiseled, and his eyes were bright and piercing. He raised one hand and held a dark lamp in it.

The lamp was pitch black, but upon closer inspection, it revealed scenes of the collapse of all the heavens and the destruction of the heavens. It also contained the corpse of the Dao Ancestor and the terrifying scene of countless beings being sacrificed. This was an artifact belonging to the chief priest!
The one who holds power is also a Taoist patriarch.

The strange creature was not just him alone. Soon, another Dao Ancestor emerged, surrounded by black matter. He was robust and very tall, standing there like a piece of iron. Strands of black hair were intertwined, forming a ferocious beast-like appearance on his body, giving people an immense sense of oppression.

Another Dao Ancestor had a full head of silver hair, which shone brightly. His body was as clear as jade, and silver patterns like the River of Souls covered his body. He seemed sacred, but in fact, an ominous aura permeated his body, which was extremely intimidating.

The arrival of three Dao Ancestors, all beings from the source of strangeness, was awe-inspiring. Behind them were six supreme beings, all coldly watching the crowd.

Shi Hao was somewhat eager to conquer these creatures, but Wang Hongwu shook his head and said, "Don't try to steal my prey. My three rebellious sons have been reformed enough. It's time to let them have some exercise."

Upon hearing his words, the two Quasi-Immortal Emperors who had arrived from the heavens were somewhat taken aback. This Dao Ancestor of the Heavens was quite arrogant, claiming that he could take down three Dao Ancestors and six Quasi-Immortal Emperors all by himself.
Who has such ability? Even the most powerful Dao Ancestors wouldn't dare to claim it!

Seeing that he had a thought, the Palace Master turned his hand and grabbed the supreme artifact in the hand of the golden-haired, top-ranking Dao Ancestor!
He actually wanted to snatch it away?

Everyone was stunned, and then they saw the expression change of the creatures from the Calamity Land. The evolution path of the supreme Dao Ancestor in front of them was trembling and almost exploded!
"Supreme?!" He only had time to exclaim those two words before the supreme artifact was snatched from his hand, leaving him no room to resist.

How could there be other Celestial Emperors?

At this moment, the creatures of Edo were all dumbfounded. How could this be?
Unreasonable!

Aren't the Celestial Emperors of the Heavens locked in a standoff with the chief priest of the Calamity Land? When will a new supreme being emerge?
Just then, the sky cracked open, trembling violently, and black blood poured out, as if sensing that the supreme artifact had been taken away, and was enraged, about to sweep across the land.

"Has the High Priest descended?"

Some people saw that behind the huge hole in the sky, there was not only a blurry phantom of a ritual offering, but also an entity approaching from a more distant region.

He seemed to have traversed era after era, crossing the river of time, coming from an unpredictable place, with a large amount of black blood pouring out, intending to pollute this ancient land.

Meanwhile, the lamp in the hands of the Hall Master was burning fiercely, resisting and trying to break free, but it was firmly suppressed by him. The artifact was still far inferior to the human.

Then the heavens trembled, and suddenly an ancient lamp appeared in the sky above this area, its dim light scorching the large hole in the sky.

The flickering and dancing lights actually held back the black blood. Then, the Chaos Mace and the Myriad Tribulations Mirror descended one after another, the three artifacts manifesting and floating in the sky, resisting the pouring ominous substance.

The three objects emitted light, and although they were separate, they were as one, rotating together, just like the beginning of heaven and earth, the first opening of the universe, and everything returning to its source.

"The master of the three artifacts is the master of a supreme evolutionary civilization." Wang Hongwu realized the identity of the person who made the move: Meng Hai, another supreme being of the heavens who, like Luo, had survived the Great Sacrifice.

In later generations, because of his relationship with Shi Hao, he also descended three artifacts to help the heavens give birth to a new quasi-immortal emperor, and Gu Qing, the son of Gu Tuo, was the person he chose.

At this moment, there, the three instruments worked together, holy light shone everywhere, peaceful and radiant, completely sealing the huge hole in the sky, sealing the cracks, and purifying the ominous substances.

"A desperate resistance, a futile struggle."

Behind the huge hole, the indistinct sacrificial site was no longer silent, but a hoarse voice came from it, sounding as if it were far away, echoing like a sound.

Furthermore, one can see that behind the blurred sacrificial site, there is a humanoid creature, very indistinct, stopping in a more distant place, its gaze cold and detached.

Officiant!
Similarly, after the three artifacts, a figure appeared, as if standing at the source of all the Great Dao. The Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things, and he is that Dao, which has evolved all things.

The three masters!

In fact, people can only see the hazy forms of the two supreme beings. This is merely a manifestation, a reflection and aggregation of some kind of runes. It is hard to say whether their true forms are like this.

However, their strength is beyond doubt. Ignoring space and the obstruction of the river of time, they turn a wisp of emotion into ripples that shine beyond the heavens. It is even hard to say whether they are from this period of time or not. For such beings, the past and future are dynamic. Whichever direction they face is the future; whichever direction they turn away from is the past.

"Further words are useless. Do you still want to fight again?" The voice of the three weapon masters also came out. It was very vague and distant. It was a kind of inexplicable light of consciousness, like a monstrous wave crashing and expanding beyond the heavens.

Its sound and meaning were vaguely transmitted through light and ripples, allowing many evolved beings to sense them.

Whether you call it their voices or their emotions, they are conveying the will of the two. In their true place of existence, countless ancestral matter particles are boiling, and their own evolutionary system is unfolding, affecting the stability of spacetime across all worlds.

"What are you pretending for? You dare to put on airs all by yourself!"

Just then, a voice broke the silence and disrupted the standoff between the three artifact owners and the black-clad high priest.

He is the Lord of the Reception Hall, and he is also a supreme being. Even though he is incomplete, he can still exert the power of that domain. He might be at a disadvantage in a one-on-one fight, but right now, there are still three masters of the artifacts in the heavens!

It can be said that his arrival was the key to changing the supreme battle situation of the heavens; while the Three Emperors were the ones who reversed the battle situation of the Dao Ancestor.

He ascended into the sky, staring directly at the black-clad high priest, and stood alongside the three artifacts, coldly saying, "It was you, this filthy thing, who took advantage of the situation back then. If I don't deal with you today, I'll be unworthy of being called the Supreme One!"
