The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 307 The Battle of Heaven and Earth, the Supreme Fighting Lord's Sacrifice

Beyond the heavens, an altar rises into the sky, ushering in the grand ceremony of the new era.

This era belongs to the Red Great Sacrifice.

In the past, during the Great Black Sacrifice, the heavens collapsed, the supreme beings suffered calamity, and all was shrouded in darkness; now, a new era begins, with the heavens as sacrifices, to offer a grand sacrifice to all spirits, to be dedicated to an unknown being.

Within the Three Realms of Heaven, Wang Hongwu opened his eyes and looked at the altar outside the Heavenly Domain. He had already reached the pinnacle of Dao Ancestor, and before the war, he had further sublimated, enough to dominate this realm.

Within his body, the human body and the heavens evolved further. In addition to the heavens, the River of Souls appeared. As the azure river surged, countless soul light substances manifested, all of which were plundered from the ultimate earth. That Dao, that pattern, was also integrated into the Origin Mother Gold, giving it some silver patterns and acquiring some of the properties of this substance.

Strictly speaking, Wang Hongwu's Origin Mother Gold can also be seen as a new ominous substance, nurtured by the power of black blood and silver patterns, filled with a dreamlike luster. The characteristic of this substance is erosion, which will assimilate everything it comes into contact with into the Mother Gold and integrate it into the mother body. It is also incredibly hard. Furthermore, due to his imperial laws and system, it has the ability to invade people or things, and even the concept of 'origin'.

He pondered whether feeding it with different strange substances could further sublimate the Origin Mother Gold. It had been refined by a sacrificial fire that combined the fire of the Great Void and the flames of the Ancient Universe, making it different from other substances and closer to its original state. Perhaps this could help him discover a path.

"The battle between realms is about to begin." Not far away, Shi Hao and the First Emperor arrived. Since the battle of the Soul River, both of them had made breakthroughs to varying degrees. Looking at the scene outside the Heavenly Domain, their expressions were also very solemn.

Because once the interdimensional war begins, even the Dao Ancestor may not survive. The supreme beings on both sides will inevitably fight to the death. When that happens, various imperial artifacts will be bestowed and manifest on the battlefield, which will create an even greater crisis.

"This was brought to us by the Lord of the Reception Hall. It's enough to protect us on the battlefield. As for the stone mill and the Time Furnace, they're going to use them against the High Priest." Then, the Scroll of Eternal Heavens behind Shi Hao unfolded, and three bronze coffins flew out from it!

"The Three-Life Coffin?" Wang Hongwu naturally recognized the object. He didn't expect the Hall Master of the Guiding Hall to bring this thing. Although this object did not have the ability to attack, it had the function of protecting people and was extremely hard. It was indeed enough to protect oneself when facing the bombardment of supreme artifacts.

The three of them each chose a bronze coffin, their expressions somewhat subtle, as if they were fighting with their coffins on their backs.

Boom! Soon after, the outer realm of the heavens was blasted open, and the blood-red altar grew larger and larger, as if it would crush all worlds. It also became clearer and clearer, and the blood color on it was receding and being absorbed by the altar itself. It was all the blood remnants of the past, the substances left behind after the sacrifices of past generations. Its body was as black as ink, extremely eerie, as if it could absorb all the light in the world.

In the past, all the heavens and myriad realms, countless vast and brilliant worlds, and even supreme beings, were sacrificed on it; now, it has turned its attention to the heavens.

"The grand ceremony has begun. Everything in this world, the vast universe, the ancient and modern times, can be offered as a sacrifice. There must be something you care about, so offer it up."

A long and ancient voice resounded, startling all the worlds and the creatures of the Evil Land, who personally ushered in the Red Era.

"Great sacrifice to the heavens, let's fight first!" A supreme voice suddenly rang out from within the heavens, and a giant hand materialized and slammed towards the altar, trying to push it back.

The grand sacrificial ceremony could not be interrupted. Immediately, the chief priest took action and blocked the giant hand. The collision of the supreme energy instantly plunged the entire heavens and the outer realms into a bizarre and surreal environment.

This region gradually broke free from the constraints of time, entering a 'fault'-like window of time. Without all constraints, the past and future could coexist, which was also a change brought about by the supreme battle.

It's not that they intentionally change anything, but rather that the influence created by their own existence, just like the material particles spread by the Dao Ancestor, will naturally draw other people or things closer to and conform to his evolutionary path, turning them into similar beings.

"Heavens, I don't know where your confidence comes from, but our race is backed by the wasteland, invincible throughout the ages and invincible in the future. No one can kill us. Even you supreme beings have been predicted by us. Anyone with the potential to reach the end of the road has been revealed in the secrets of heaven. After today, they will be wiped out. The Red Sacrifice will only leave you with 20% of the life seeds."

I advise you, so-called saviors, so-called protectors, the strongest beings in the heavens, mean nothing to our race, nor are they special. If you disobey, you will only suffer a terrible end.

Deep within the land of calamity, a cold rebuke resentment arose, and crimson eyes opened, filling the universe and instantly transporting us to the realms beyond, not too far away.

"When did the people of E'tu become so talkative? They want to sacrifice us and leave only 20% of the living beings, and they still want to advise us? They really need to be taught a lesson." Suddenly, there were specks of light in the distance, and a figure walked over. Although he was old and frail, he still had the aura of an emperor. Mythical beings surrounded him and epic legends enveloped him, suppressing the entire world and making it tremble. Although he was somewhat old, he did have the aura of an emperor.

A supreme being from the heavens descended, confronting the high priest head-on. As their true forms clashed, the heavens and earth collapsed, the river of time emerged, and it flowed backwards silently, as if everything in the world had been changed as a result.

That sight terrified even the most powerful beings, causing them to tremble in fear. Their own evolutionary systems were reflecting this, forming their own 'concepts,' foundations, and characteristics. In short, they were continuously radiating their own path and way, influencing the outside world and assimilating others.

"Heavens, there are too many paths to evolution. Let us undergo some purification." The Black Blood High Priest appeared. He was still displeased after being injured by the three weapon masters and the Lord of the Guiding Hall. He stretched out a hand, and his palm suddenly cracked, dripping a drop of black true blood. He was actually trying to pollute the cultivation path of the heavens!
*Thud!* In an instant, the drop of blood fell, and the River of Time splashed with towering waves because of it. Fragments of time flew everywhere, creating an extremely terrifying scene. This drop of blood, along with the pollution of ancient history, was directed towards the past beings. Every Immortal King's Path and Dao Ancestor's Path was within its influence, threatening to erode their source!
"Despicable methods, truly disgusting." The supreme being of the Time-Space Path manifested, raising a hand to strip away the time and history eroded by the Black Blood, and then re-weaving and filling them in, while also sending the original dark time toward the Black Blood Supreme, adding its own power to it; the Black Blood Priest didn't care, accepting it all and absorbing it into his body, he didn't care about his injuries at all.

Despite the damage to his body, the Black Blood Priest's injuries healed the moment the Calamity Earth appeared. He sneered, stepped aside, and the Red Priest in charge of this grand ceremony stepped forward, saying calmly, "All Quasi-Immortal Emperors, Immortal Kings, True Immortals, etc., must also go all out and kill them all. Do not leave a single person alive on that battlefield."

Upon completion, True Immortals will bestow upon us Kingly Matter; Kings will bestow upon us Dao Ancestor Matter; and Dao Ancestors will be granted primordial matter that allows them to advance to the End of the Path level. We will not be stingy with such gifts!

Upon hearing this, all the ominous creatures began to breathe heavily, each one looking fierce and menacing as they stared menacingly at the heavens.

This means they've made a breakthrough! The supreme Dao Fruit is just ahead, and with the endless resurrection of the Calamity Land, what are they afraid of?
Even the dead can reappear!

If you can exchange multiple lives for the death of a master from the heavens, then it's a win.

In an instant, shouts of battle shook the heavens, and hordes of enemies from the Calamity Land surged toward this place. There were so many enemies that they transformed into a vast, dark wave that stretched to the heavens and the earth, enough to fill all the myriad realms.

Moreover, within the heavens, in the land of reincarnation, the cycle of reincarnation erupted in chaos. A massive, pitch-black hand emerged from within, enveloping the entire world. It reached down and pressed down mercilessly, causing mountains and rivers to collapse and the earth to explode. It had actually pierced through the boundary wall from within, opening a passage!

"The ancient underworld, as expected, had a backup plan." The First Emperor murmured, having seen the problem. Then, a large number of strange races and dark creatures surged in from the shattered sky like a tide, rushing towards the earth, wanting to destroy everything in their way.

The black hand slowly retreated, not intending to cause any further destruction, but instead breaking down the barriers between the various worlds of the Azure Sky.

All they wanted was a grand sacrifice, with all tribes serving as offerings.

“Don’t worry, our realm has taken precautions against the changes in the cycle of reincarnation. He only destroyed the illusory lands, which have already been sealed off by formations and are waiting for him to come to his doom. There are already specialized evolved civilizations to deal with it. What we are responsible for is the frontal battlefield.” Zhen Long appeared, his body covered in a layer of Mother Gold Armor, which was forged from Heavenly Blood Mother Gold. Behind him, a large number of figures appeared.

Wang Hongwu looked behind him and saw many Dao Ancestors exuding a powerful aura, as well as some top figures. He was certain that among them were peerless Dao Ancestors who had mastered supreme methods!

This time, the Dao Ancestors of the Ten Supreme Civilizations all made their appearances. The paths of the physical body, the military, the myriad spirits, the three artifacts, the mythology, the time and space, the boundless, the cycle of reincarnation, the primordial chaos, and the Yang God all manifested, and each even pointed to the supreme decree and the immortal emperor's weapon.

When that thing is used, even the most powerful Dao Ancestors cannot withstand it and will be blasted into eternal oblivion. In the past, when facing the indelible power of the Calamity Land, the Heavenly Emperor used sealing techniques and high-level artifacts to crush it most often, and also developed many effective secret techniques.

Then all the ancestors moved together, and the top 100 Dao Ancestor civilizations also descended. The evolution paths of Ancestral Dragon, Ancestral Phoenix, Ancestral Peng, Ancestral Peacock, Ancestral Lin, etc. all descended, while the Dao Ancestor and Quasi-Immortal Emperor civilizations ranked after that also gathered.

"Chaos, spacetime, reincarnation, and things like dragons and phoenixes—they're truly powerful no matter where they are." The First Emperor couldn't help but sigh. These concepts and species are inherently strong, and even in the heavens, they hold a lofty position.

There are far too many Quasi-Immortal Emperors in the heavens, and Dao Ancestors are rare. But even if only one is born in an era, they have accumulated a terrifying number, only slightly inferior to those of the Calamity Land. At this moment, the army is assembled, with countless True Immortals as soldiers, trillions of Immortal Kings as generals, Quasi-Immortal Emperors as commanders, and Dao Ancestors as generals, to conquer the border and fight a great battle against the Calamity Land.

On that battlefield beyond the boundary, amidst the surging of the sacrificial sea and the crashing waves, a huge red sun set in the west, the evening glow like blood, the thick red clouds turning most of the sky red, like blood spreading, both tragic and eerie.

A strong smell of blood filled the air. This place was once a battlefield, vast and boundless, where countless lives fought and battled against the heavens and the earth. Although the distant years have passed, one can still almost hear the resounding battle songs and the bloody shouts of killing.

Wang Hongwu walked side by side with Shi Hao, his gaze always fixed on the vast sacrificial sea. A tributary had actually flowed into the battlefield. As the blood-red river surged, it would occasionally splash up waves, and some skeletons would float to the surface. They were all very strange, some were snow-white and crystal clear, some were golden, and some emitted a dark light. There were countless skeletons in the river, all belonging to former powerful figures, and even some were the remains of supreme beings.

Those who can leave behind complete skeletons are at least quasi-immortal emperors; as for immortal kings and the like, they will only turn into pus and blood.

The number of lives lost in the battle is impossible to count. This is the largest battlefield between the two realms, and also a burial ground!
In the distance, one after another, white spider lilies bloom, radiating a chilling aura. These are the souls of powerful beings whose remains have been transformed and reborn by the blood of countless lives on the battlefield.

At this moment, they had already seen the ominous creatures on the other side of the Red River. Those armies were no longer just the forces of the four ancient lands, but also many races that had fallen into darkness, as well as true masters of the Evil Land.

"The former Crimson Tide Realm, Heavenly Ghost Realm, and Azure Wave Realm have all submitted to the Calamity Land and have become part of it. There's nothing more to say, let's attack!" The Ancestors of the Heavens roared, and then earth-shattering drumbeats rang out. The great battle broke out, and one army after another charged forward to launch the decisive battle.

Across the Red River, ominous creatures swept in with overwhelming killing intent. Some resembled spliced ​​insects, sending chills down the spine; others possessed pristine white wings, strikingly beautiful; still others were as black as ink, their flesh withered, resembling skeletons; and many other deformed species looked like cobbled-together monsters; some were covered in pustules and tumors, others resembled fierce, beast-haired demons, densely packed, countless creatures appearing as far as the eye could see.

The two armies clashed, blood splattering everywhere. The battle was incredibly fierce; with every step taken, someone would fall and become a corpse. The fighting was extremely brutal.

True immortals were exploding in droves, immortal kings were falling continuously, and the aftershocks of quasi-immortal emperors and Dao ancestors spread out, causing mass casualties with just a wisp of the shockwaves, which were simply unbearable.

Roar! A Dao Ancestor descended from the Calamity Land and swept across, knocking back a Quasi-Immortal Emperor from the heavens with a single punch. As he charged toward the other side, he tore apart an Ultimate Evolver with his bare hands. Purple crystals continuously spread outward from his body, freezing and solidifying anything that touched them, turning them into statues. These were ominous substances belonging to the Purple Era.

As he charged left and right, he saw a towering figure standing in the origin of eternity. The figure also stared at him, and suddenly boundless pressure, like mountains and seas collapsing and ancient heavens falling, pressed down on him.

God?!
Pfft! The Purple Crystal Dao Ancestor immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale. He never expected his luck to be so bad, encountering the most terrifying opponent right from the start!

“The purple substance is perfect for feeding the mother gold.” Wang Hongwu became interested and stretched out a hand. The Purple Crystal Dao Ancestor was immediately terrified, feeling unprecedented pressure. He activated his evolutionary path to protect himself, and even brought out various ancient artifacts and life-saving items to protect himself.

But after making so many preparations, the hand didn't come down from in front of him; instead, it emerged from his history!

He turned around in shock, only to see that in his own history, one after another Wang Hongwu had appeared, all looking at him with amusement and saying indifferently, "Ant, what are you expecting?"

The next moment, Wang Hongwu from different historical moments simultaneously reached out and grabbed at the Purple Crystal Dao Ancestor, causing him to let out a silent scream.

In an instant, his history was rewritten, and from its origin, it was seized by Wang Hongwu, transformed into his own, and made his own, to be used at his beck and call.

"So what if you're strong? How many people can you fight? My clan has countless powerful warriors. Do you want to fight? Then send some more fellow Daoists!" In the distance, a Black Blood Dao Ancestor who noticed something amiss called for help. Immediately, a group of people arrived. They were terrifying, tearing apart worlds, and no realm could resist them.

"What's the point? No matter how many come, I'll kill them all the same." Wang Hongwu's calamity seed manifested in his hand, and in an instant, it fell into everyone's history. Before those people could even make a move, they were frozen in place, unable to move an inch.

Then, with a series of popping sounds, several eerie and supreme beings exploded, some of them instantly collapsing and never to reappear.

Normally, killing such creatures would require a long period of refinement to succumb, but his system was clearly peculiar, directly suppressing a batch and rendering them eternally silent, turning them into pure mother gold to nourish Wang Hongwu.

The battlefield wasn't limited to this corner; in the distance, an even fiercer battle was raging.

"Kill!"

The sky was about to shatter, impacted by the battle aura. The four directions trembled violently, and the earth was about to sink. All the major civilizations in the heavens sent out their experts, and many unknown figures rose to prominence overnight, making their mark on the battlefield.

It's not only those top-ranked evolution paths that produce masters; hidden talents lurk in the fields. Many have chosen to bide their time and finally shine today.

At infinite height, a new high priest of the Evil Lands appeared, his gaze icy cold. He went to the grand black altar, ascended it, and stood with the other high priests.

Not one, but ten!

Those ten figures were all terrifying beyond measure. Some were covered in beast fur and dripping with black blood; some were in the gray mist; some had golden scales growing on their skin; some had thick, blood-red fur all over their bodies; some had white beast fur all over their bodies, breathing out white evil spirits; some were covered in rust, with dried brown blood congealed; some were covered in purple crystals; some had silver patterns all over their bodies, guiding the souls of the heavens to rebirth; some stood eternally in bronze coffins; some were accompanied by layers of blue halos, demonic and evil.

Ten ominous substances appeared simultaneously: black blood, gray mist, golden scales, red hair, white evil spirits, brown rust, amethyst, silver patterns, bronze, and blue light!
Ten ominous paths of evolution, ten chief priests.

On the side of the Calamity Land, there were actually ten Immortal Emperors! This terrifying number was astonishing, but the side of Heaven was no weaker than them. The ten figures advanced and retreated together, emerging from the light of civilization, illuminating all ages, and dispelling the ominous gloom.

Some have traversed countless eons with their physical bodies, suppressing ancient history; some have sacrificed weapons to fuse their bodies, gathering all things; some have nurtured all spirits with their soul light, accompanying them in battle; some have used the three artifacts to expound the Dao, giving birth to all things throughout; some have composed myths, outlining various legendary epics; some have transcended time and space, becoming eternal; some have boundless energy and infinite Daoist magic; some have turned the cycle of reincarnation, evolving the eighteen purgatory; some have grasped the primordial chaos, giving rise to primordial chaos; some have a pure Yang primordial spirit, creating the world and creating gods.

In the heavens, there are also ten celestial emperors!
This confrontation between the two sides resulted in the emergence of twenty dead beings, a truly unprecedented and terrifying event.

Never before in history has there been such a fierce battle at the end of the road; there were far too many of them.

The Ten High Priests to the Ten Supreme Beings!

"Heavens, have they all come out?" A cold voice rang out. The high priests were confident and calm. Even if their numbers were equal, they still had an absolute advantage and could crush their opponents.

But at this moment, a variable appeared.

"The heavens have all emerged, but there are still the myriad realms!"

The Lord of the Reception Hall stepped forward in response, holding the Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand and the Time Furnace above his head. He stood directly alongside the Ten Supreme Beings of the Heavens, coldly gazing at the ten chief priests.

"It's you? The incomplete thing of the past has now been completed. It seems someone has been covering for you." The Black Blood High Priest's gaze darkened. The previously inconspicuous heavens had actually managed to get involved, causing unexpected changes.

The balance has been broken, and eleven Celestial Emperors are facing off against the ten High Priests!
This is a pivotal change; the addition of a supreme being will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the occupation.
Not to mention, within the Dao Ancestor's domain, there are also two anomalies: Wang Hongwu and Shi Hao.
