The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 301 The Three Emperors Convert to Suppress Inauspiciousness, the Supreme Civilization and the Lord of Heaven

The heavens were shaken by a great upheaval, and the Daoist patriarchs gathered in great numbers, revealing the supreme light.

Besides the three masters of the artifacts and the black priest who have been in a standoff, there is another special powerful figure from all the heavens and myriad realms, who was once an immortal emperor.

"It's you, a three-legged cat with broken teeth and claws, still wanting to retaliate?" The high priest's voice was devoid of joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness; even his contemptuous words sounded exceptionally calm. However, as he spoke, various terrifying scenes unfolded in the sky.

Those were the ripples caused by the descent of the supreme being. All the so-called supreme beings of the heavens had to prostrate themselves and kowtow here. In those strange phenomena, the common lord of the heavens was stained with blood, the emperor of the heavens was decapitated and knelt on the ground, and all the worlds were set ablaze, becoming the wicks and flames of the sacrificers. All sorts of strange sights were indescribable and could not be examined in detail.

Wang Hongwu and Shi Hao focused their attention. The chief priest of the Black Era had been in charge of the era since the rise of the Hall of Guidance. The chief priest of the new era had not yet appeared, but was leading the battle against the heavens.

"There are ten chief priests. It would be best if we could fill the gaps with totems and make them our own." A dangerous thought surged in Wang Hongwu's mind. Ten chief priests and ten ancestors—this number was quite suitable for his ten totems. Perhaps he could make a plan. Of course, that would be something to do after he had achieved the highest Dao and reached the end of his path. Right now, he only had the idea.

At this moment, he fixed his gaze on the three Dao Ancestors and six Quasi-Immortal Emperors who had descended upon the Calamity Land. They were excellent prey, and such a look made the nine ominous beings feel uneasy.

Since their debut, which race has not revered or feared them? No Dao Ancestor, even the most advanced civilization, has ever been so arrogant as to stare at them so brazenly and even boast that he would take care of them all by himself!

Meanwhile, the Lord of the Reception Hall suddenly rose up. This was not a physical movement, but an elevation of his essence, as if he had ascended to a higher dimension, transcending time and space, and becoming equal to the High Priest and the three artifact masters. His state transformed into a humanoid form woven from primordial true runes, and he still held the lamp that belonged to the High Priest in his hand.

“In the past, when I attained enlightenment, I was corrupted by the strongest true blood from the source of the strangeness, which invaded my body and soul. You targeted me too early and gradually plotted against me. More than one of you really thought highly of me. At least two of the high priests secretly eroded and corrupted me. Otherwise, how could I have fallen into darkness completely? If I hadn’t been corrupted too early and given enough time, I would have become stronger and you wouldn’t have been able to suppress me!”

All I can say is that I was unlucky, encountering an era of the most active and ominous resurgence of the bizarre, becoming corrupted, and ultimately paying the price with my own body; you black rat, today I'll settle accounts with you!

The Lord of the Reception Hall was quite emotional, still somewhat unwilling to accept it, and directly took action. The patterns of the Primal True Solution intertwined into a great wave that swept across the past and present, rushing towards the Black Priest from every corner and every node.

"Incomplete and supreme, nothing but empty boasting." The black high priest sneered. The high plateau gave them their indestructible confidence. At the same time, the three artifacts stopped rotating and instead emitted a strange and obscure aura, imprisoning the rules and everything beyond the heavens. Clearly, the supreme being of the heavens had also made a move.

The heavens and the gods joined forces to suppress the Black Priest.

The battlefield of the three transcends the heavens and the realms beyond all worlds. Their supreme evolutionary system is manifesting, with figures sitting cross-legged at the source of their respective evolutionary paths chanting scriptures. Their voices and forms are indistinct, yet they simultaneously manifest in countless times and realms, expanding endlessly.

The rules there, the traces of the Dao there, are unimaginable; even the boiling primordial matter is suppressed.

They've clashed? Everyone's expressions shifted. Under the collision of the three supreme beings, even the boundary of the heavens was breached, revealing the scene outside, which was a crimson expanse!
"Offering sacrifice to the sea." Wang Hongwu's expression shifted. That was a true vast sea that even the Boundary Sea could not compare to. Amidst the sound of waves, the endless World Sea rose and fell. Countless time and space throughout history were destroyed and stirred up between the rolling waves. Every drop of water was a dead world, and every wave was a decaying world.

This sea is isolated from the outside world, blocking the heavens from the heavens above.

Beyond the world, in the heavens and earth above, lies a desolate wasteland, with surging rivers and inexplicably churning oceans, seemingly separated by countless eras. In this desolate land, a green oasis has been carved out, which is the heavens above, and here all the people are.

With precedents of the Boundary Sea entering his body, he was naturally quite interested in the Sea Sacrifice. If he could integrate it into his body, it would be an immense blessing, allowing him to suppress all worlds with a single sea!

Subsequently, the battle between the supreme beings became unobservable, or rather, it entered into a clash that even the Dao Ancestor could not comprehend.

In the sky, outside the huge hole, thick black mist appeared, and a hazy blood-red light gradually emerged, turning crimson. People didn't know what had happened.

Creatures of that caliber, their pursuits and battles are by no means simple bloodbaths. Their activity trajectories are terrifying, vast and boundless. From the moment they sense each other and discover one another, to calculating the other's moves, and finally to actually engaging in combat, it could easily take tens of thousands of years.

The battles between beings at the Immortal Emperor level have extremely profound effects. If the waves of the sacrificial sea they create were to fly outwards, the fragments of the Great Dao within them would give rise to a brand new evolutionary civilization!

"I increasingly feel that the entire ancient history is nothing compared to the Immortal Emperor. It's just a scroll painting of the eternal sky." The First Emperor sighed. That was the realm he had pursued all his life, but becoming the Dao Ancestor did not mean that he could become the supreme being. It only meant that he had a slight qualification.

Now, Wang Hongwu was about to make his move on his prey. He looked at the nine ominous creatures and slowly opened his palm. There, the sacrificial bowl was manifested, and from it, more creatures emerged. These creatures had undergone enlightenment, regained their understanding, and realized that he was the ancestor of all the heavens.

"Playing tricks!" The silver-haired Dao Ancestor scoffed and pressed down directly, about to make a move. However, a figure was faster than him, stepping out of the bowl. A grand sacrificial chant intertwined with a dazzling evolutionary path, lifting that person down to earth.

Beneath his feet, a mysterious ripple expanded, like a great road, spreading forward. He stepped upon it, approaching step by step, chanting the mantra: "If you do not bow to the Emperor, your true destiny is lost. Your name is on the Reincarnation Stele. With each step and each bow, your sins on the path to rebirth will be halved, protecting your true spirit."

Each word and sound possesses immense power, capable of suppressing all heavens, sending celestial kings to their next reincarnation, and even suppressing quasi-celestial emperors. Even the silver-haired spirit, a fellow Dao Ancestor, couldn't help but slightly change color.

The next moment, the figure of the Azure Emperor appeared. He had a full head of gray hair, and even the whites of his eyes were gray. His imperial robes were old and ancient, and he wore a nine-colored imperial crown. He shone on all living beings and was majestic and awe-inspiring.

"The Heavenly Father must not be insulted, God must be revered, you unclean thing, I, the Emperor, will suppress and kill you." His gaze was cold and piercing as he stared directly at the silver-haired spirit. The oppressive aura of a supreme Dao Ancestor was extremely strong, making people shudder.

A supreme Dao Ancestor?!

Seeing this, the Black Blood Dao Ancestor wanted to provide assistance, but at that moment, a purple-gold road appeared before him, rumbling loudly. Golden lotuses covered the ground, divine birds flew around, and the vast heavens and earth trembled. A Dao Ancestor descended, wearing a purple-gold crown and tall in stature. Around him, various heavenly marks appeared and swirled, creating an oppressive atmosphere that made people feel suffocated.

"One era, one autumn, all the heavens are like fallen flowers, withering away; countless eons turn to dust and fall in rustling sounds, after a thousand autumns only the Heavenly Father is eternal, God is at peace." The Hong Emperor returned, interrupting the Black Blood Dao Ancestor. Noble and majestic, he said calmly, "Lost lambs need the guidance of the Heavenly Father. We are the whip in the shepherd's hand. Sinners, why do you not bow down!"

Another supreme Dao Ancestor!
The remaining Golden Scale Dao Ancestor's expression changed drastically. Before he could observe carefully, the third figure also descended. A holy rain of light filled the air. The Dao Ancestor was carried by an ancient war chariot, which rumbled as it approached and looked down. He had a pair of holy wings on his back, and his whole being was both powerful and holy. It was none other than the Feather Emperor!
Without a word, in the eyes of the proud Feather Emperor, only the Heavenly Father was worthy of his attention; the rest were nothing but ants, and to even glance at them would be to defile his imperial eyes.

Or a supreme Dao Ancestor!

He directly pulled out three Dao Ancestors as his henchmen?
Not to mention the creatures of the land they faced, even the celestial beings watching the battle were stunned; this was far too extravagant.

Moreover, who has such a powerful presence and deep foundation?
Even the most powerful Dao Ancestors aren't qualified! Only a supreme ruler could command three most powerful Dao Ancestors.

"The origins of these three have all been taken over." The First Emperor sensed that he could see a god-like outline deep in the eyes of the three emperors. They understood who they were and became part of Wang Hongwu. They still had autonomy and individuality, but with an additional layer of self-awareness.

"We're here to help you!" The remaining six Quasi-Immortal Emperors were about to make a move when Wang Hongwu looked over and said calmly, "You can't even protect yourself, yet you dare to speak recklessly."

The next moment, ten powerful and supreme-level ferocious totems flew out, directly transforming into ten emperors who surrounded the six quasi-immortal emperors in the center. Their eyes were cold and their attacks were ruthless, and they immediately began to bombard and kill!

"Ten more Quasi-Immortal Emperors?!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the powerful beings of the heavens were all horrified. This was far too strong. A Dao Ancestor was able to summon thirteen ultimate combatants. Who could withstand this?

"What's the background of this guy? How could such a bizarre creature be born in all the heavens and myriad realms? Could he be a seed that has been lost to the world of our Calamity Land!" The three ominous Dao Ancestors were indignant, but there was nothing they could do, because they were already in dire straits themselves!

Apart from the Golden Scale Dao Ancestor, who is the strongest and a top-tier Dao Ancestor, and can be contended with, the other two are simply overwhelmed when facing him, the gap is too great.

With the help of the power of the ancient land of the Soul River, the Silver Pattern Dao Ancestor slammed down his palm, causing the world to collapse. However, it was blocked by the Azure Emperor. The Dao patterns between his two palms were dense and intertwined, demonstrating the birth and death of the Great Dao.

All the energy and ripples were suppressed between his two palms, but the Azure Emperor directly pressed down, smashing his palms, and his large hand slammed towards his face.

The Silver-Patterned Dao Ancestor was horrified. He couldn't dodge it; no matter how he resisted, it was useless. His large face was smashed to pieces, teeth mixed with blood splattering everywhere. He was sent flying, crashing into a world, no match for the Azure Emperor. The Feather Emperor snorted coldly, unwilling to let the Azure Emperor steal the spotlight. His eyes were like swords, shooting out dazzling beams of light that were too terrifying, severing the river of time and simultaneously cleaving the Golden-Scaled Dao Ancestor in two!
Then, the wings behind him turned blood-red, transforming into two swords that clashed and slashed, surrounded by the flames of the heavens and the flames of the ancient universe, creating an incomparably terrifying explosion that caused the chaos outside the world to explode, and countless drifting cosmic clusters were completely torn apart, bringing them to their premature end.

The Golden Scale Dao Ancestor, who faced this attack head-on, was in a miserable state. He was instantly shattered, his body covered in blood, with wounds stretching from his forehead to his chest and abdomen, almost bursting open.

Although battles between Dao Ancestors of the same level can last for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, it is a different story if the difference in their cultivation systems is very obvious.

On the other side, Hongdi was also very powerful. With the curse technique weakened, he controlled the primordial chaos to transform into a giant handprint, knocking his opponent down one after another, leaving the Black Blood Dao Ancestor covered in blood!

The blood of the Dao Ancestor splattered across the world, which truly stunned everyone. Even the powerful beings of the heavens were astonished and felt it was unreal.

Those were three eerie Dao Ancestors, and yet they were brutally beaten like this; it's truly tragic.

Needless to say, the six supreme beings who were ganged up on were no match for the Ten Fierce Totems, and with their numerical advantage, they were repeatedly blown up and suppressed one after another.

Throughout the entire process, Wang Hongwu was merely watching the show, quietly observing from above. This only sent chills down everyone's spines. He suppressed so many experts without even moving his true body; it was truly terrifying.

Upon seeing this, the remaining ominous beings took out a conch shell and blew it without hesitation, summoning their helpers to descend. Instantly, the cycle of reincarnation manifested, filling the area. The Dark Realm, their base, shone even brighter, as if Dao Ancestors were responding, coming to their aid.

The next moment, Wang Hongwu looked over, and the ominous creature immediately felt a chill in its heart, its body trembling. The figure that gave people an endless sense of oppression was extremely indifferent, and its dark eyes were like two black prairie cavities that wanted to swallow people's souls. With a punch, it completely covered the cycle of reincarnation. The fist imprint that illuminated the vast universe rose up, roaring and extremely dazzling.

With a deafening roar, his fist imprint shot out into the heavens, shattering the cycle of reincarnation and penetrating into those connected regions. The impact was so intense that the heavens and earth collapsed, immortals wailed and demons howled, and all sorts of strange phenomena appeared, shining brightly throughout the universe, truly shaking all the worlds.

He didn't speak, but what made him even more terrifying was his stride toward the corrupted world occupied by the ominous creature. His powerful aura surged, and the vast world clusters around him began to crack, as if the world was about to be destroyed, about to be burst apart by a ferocious and ancient behemoth, about to collapse!

This was truly terrifying; as Wang Hongwu approached, his immense size was enough to destroy even the most powerful beings.

Then, he stretched out his palm, turning day into night, a vast and boundless darkness that obscured everything.

"He wants to seize that realm that has fallen into misfortune?"

Everyone was horrified, and then they realized what Wang Hongwu was about to do.

But it was all too late. Even the Dao Ancestor could not stop him. His hand grasped the vast realm, snatched away all things, and caused time within this realm to freeze. The river of time trembled and stopped in its tracks for him.

All things withered, the vast universe was cold and desolate, trembling and roaring under this palm. The order of the heavens collapsed, the rules dissipated, and then this fallen world disappeared, leaving nothing behind.

At this moment, an ominous roar of the Dao Ancestor came from that realm, wanting to resist. However, Wang Hongwu suppressed it with one hand. The vast Mother Golden Heaven manifested, making time in this realm unstable and no longer continuous. The entire ancient history seemed to be about to vanish into nothingness and return to emptiness.

Finally, the giant hand crushed down, and that Dao Ancestor of that realm disintegrated and flew backward. An invisible sound of collapse echoed throughout the entire ancient realm.

The entire history of this world has been wiped out!
Everyone's expression changed. A single slap shattered an entire ancient history, and the blood of a trailblazer flew everywhere. It was extremely terrifying. Such a powerful and domineering attack could only come from a peerless Dao Ancestor!
Most importantly, this person originates from the heavens, and there is a possibility that his path will eventually end.

This scene shocked all the powerful beings in the heavens. Wang Hongwu simply and decisively attacked, suppressing the Dao Ancestor and taking the entire realm into his body.

That was a Dao Ancestor, a pioneer of a system. Even if he wasn't the strongest on this path, he was still one of the most powerful figures. Yet he was suppressed just like that!

The arena fell into a deathly silence. Even the arriving heroes from the heavens looked at each other in bewilderment. Were all the visitors from the myriad realms so ruthless?
"God Father above, disobedience has been captured."

Following this, the three emperors, Cang Hongyu, returned and suppressed the three Dao Ancestors. The Ten Fiend Totems also locked up six Supreme Beings, and together they suppressed them in front of Wang Hongwu.

Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. The nine ominous powerhouses had been captured so easily and become prisoners. It was truly terrifying.

“Not bad.” Wang Hongwu nodded slightly, flicked the sacrificial bowl, and swallowed the nine people into it. When they reappear, they will be new guardian deities.

The messengers under God's throne are now taking shape.

"Fellow Daoist, please come and visit my civilization." Finally, the Dao Ancestor of Mengshan realized what was going on and invited Wang Hongwu and the others to visit the Three Artifacts Civilization.

The First Emperor asked in surprise, "Has the battle between the three supreme beings ended?"

"The battle of the Supreme Beings may seem to have just begun, but it actually started in the distant past and may have already ended. We just need to wait," Mengshan explained, before leading everyone to the location of the Three-Artifact Civilization.

The heavens are filled with ten supreme civilizations, each ruling over the vast realms. The core of the Three Realms Civilization is called the 'Three Realms of Life', which means that all things are born from the three realms.

After traversing one realm after another, boundless light intertwined ahead, forming a magnificent building—the welcoming hall of this civilization.

"Three Dao Ancestors?" "I heard they all came from the myriad realms."

Along the way, the beings of the three civilizations were all very surprised, because they had not seen beings from all the heavens and myriad worlds for far too long. Since the Lord of the Guiding Hall was corrupted, a long era had passed, and the heavens and myriad worlds had become a blank period.

Now, they have once again come into contact with the heavens, and this time it is a momentous event.

The three Dao Ancestors, each with unparalleled strength, have brought back their former supreme power, which is a tremendous help to the heavens that cannot be ignored.

No sooner had he sat down than Mengshan's expression turned strange. He had received some kind of message and looked at Wang Hongwu, saying, "Brother Dao, an old friend of yours has come to visit."

"An old friend from Heaven?" Several figures flashed through Wang Hongwu's mind, and he became somewhat interested, so he asked who they were.

Mengshan Daozu stated directly, "Zhenlong Daozu comes from the highest evolutionary path of the physical body."

Zhen Long? Wang Hongwu's expression shifted slightly. When he first met him, he was still an unparalleled immortal king. He never expected that he would become a Dao Ancestor in his own right now. It was truly a rare sight.

It's just in time that you've come. He gave me the token back then, and now I can explore the mysteries of the supreme physical path.

“However, it’s not just him who’s coming; there are other Dao Ancestors as well, and another supreme civilization has also sent an envoy. They seem to be discussing how to help the supreme beings of the heavens recover,” Mengshan explained, then added with a smile, “Of course, this time there will most likely be a supreme avatar descending, specifically for the three of you.”

The Supreme Divine Intervention?

Upon hearing this, Wang Hongwu, Shi Hao, and the First Emperor became interested. If they could communicate with a true Immortal Emperor, it would be of great help to them, as they could learn about the mysteries.
