The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 310 The Heavenly Matter Completed, the Ancestor Appears; Supreme Artifact Acquired, Returning to the Ancient Wilderness
The heavens triumphed, forever condemning a high priest, and successfully repelled the Calamity in the interdimensional war.

This is a brilliant record. Throughout history, Ecuador has never been defeated in its campaigns; it has always crushed its opponents.

But today's battle has completely rewritten history. Wang Hongwu and Shi Hao swept across the battlefield of Daozu, directly annihilating three-quarters of the Etu army. God also enlightened all living beings, making the ominous creatures who were still alive understand who I am and all of them became a part of Him.

When these messages reached the heavens and resounded throughout the world, the resulting sensation was like a landslide and a tsunami.

"They won? The invading ominous creatures were wiped out by just two people?"

"Not only that, the Supreme Being of the heavens has also truly and eternally silenced one of the High Priests!"

"Are all those from the heavens so fierce? God and the Desolate Emperor, just the two of them, can turn the tide of battle and shatter all misfortune."

"After this battle, they will definitely become a thorn in the side of Ecuador, and they will try every means to get rid of them."

Immediately, it sparked heated discussions and attracted immense attention from all sectors, with some even believing that this might be a crucial clarion call for a counterattack against Ecuador.

This achievement was absolutely earth-shattering, shaking all the major civilizations and causing a stir among all races. The original situation of ten supreme beings against ten high priests was rewritten, becoming eleven supreme beings against nine high priests. It seemed that the situation was gradually tilting in favor of the heavens, giving many realms hope.

Outside the heavens, the eleven supreme beings returned, their expressions also very excited as they looked at the remnants left by the Black Blood Priest in the Time Furnace.

"Supreme stillness has arrived? They've truly found the way to break the immortality of the Calamity Land!"

Everyone gasped in shock. This was a momentous event. From now on, they would have a way to deal with the indestructible nature of the Evil Earth.

"The Time Furnace and the Stone Mill are indeed effective in suppressing the evil forces. This will allow Heaven to hold out for a little longer. However, the next step will likely be the birth of the Primordial Ancestor." Wang Hongwu stopped and stood up, looking at the fading Calamity Land in the distance. The High Priest was not the end; there were still ten true Primordial Ancestors there. Once they were mobilized, Heaven's victory would only be a brief moment of glory.

The Pollen Emperor is also a figure who has reached the pinnacle of his abilities, but ultimately there can only be one, which is not enough.

Shi Hao also seemed to be deep in thought. He looked at the Hall Master of the Guiding Hall. Ever since he killed the Black Blood High Priest, he had been in a great mood. He took out a black ancient lamp from his hand. It was the weapon of the former Black Blood High Priest. Although it looked broken at the moment, it was still intact. The ominous substances inside had been burned away by the sacrificial fire.

As you can see, the remnant image of the chief priest is still reflected in the Time Furnace, and then it is continuously burned by the sacrificial fire until it becomes more and more faint. This is because they are still mentioning and thinking about that ominous Immortal Emperor, and he will keep returning unless they stop thinking about him and completely sever all traces of his existence. And the sacrificial fire is doing just that.

"Thank you for your trouble. This is the thanks I promised before." The Hall Master of the Guiding Hall looked at Wang Hongwu and handed the ancient lamp to him, saying, "This weapon has been cleansed of the black blood residue by us and has become a supreme artifact without an owner. What remains inside now is the floating soil of the four poles and the sacrificial fire. Keep it for your protection."

Wang Hongwu raised his hand and caught the ancient lamp, which fell into his palm. Its original black color had faded, replaced by the gold of the sacrificial fire. He then poured his own Origin Mother Gold into it and began to master this supreme weapon.

In an instant, golden flowers fell from the sky, accompanied by epic hymns. One after another, the Holy Spirits appeared, dancing around the ancient lamp, praising the glory of God.

This is the light of the Lord, the lamp of God.

With this item protecting him, Wang Hongwu was not afraid of the threats posed by those supreme artifacts of the Calamity Land. Even if a supreme being attacked him, he still had a chance of survival.

Then, the Palace Master took out something else and gave it to Shi Hao as a token of gratitude.

"Today's victory is largely due to the efforts of both of you. We will repay you handsomely when we return to the heavens."

The ten supreme beings of Heaven also spoke, not forgetting the contributions of Wang Hongwu and Shi Hao. They sealed this battlefield, isolating it from ominous substances, and then opened the Heavenly passage to guide them back to their ancestral land.

"They're back! What a great victory!" "This time, Etu will be heartbroken. So many Dao Ancestors have fallen, and a High Priest has also been lost."

"This is something to celebrate, and those who have made contributions should certainly be rewarded."

The powerful beings of other civilizations had been waiting for a long time, and they were all extremely excited to see the victorious army return.

Soon after, a grand celebration of the great victory was held, with all the evolutionary civilizations and routes participating in the ceremony, creating a magnificent scene.

Wang Hongwu and Shi Hao were also treated as honored guests, sitting alongside eleven supreme rulers, signifying that they were the two future emperors, naturally attracting goodwill and connections from many civilizations.

"I never expected that the two Immortal Kings from back then would have reached this point." The quasi-Immortal Emperor of the Peacock Clan was astonished. He was the one who guided the two back then, but he never expected that in just a few years, they would transform into great heroes who swept through the army of the Calamity Land and turned the tide of the war.

"Fellow Daoist, you've come too." Among the seats, Wang Hongwu and Shi Hao also saw this old friend and led him forward to discuss with the Dao Ancestors of the supreme civilization.

This immediately made the original peacock clan chief feel flattered. The surprised and envious gazes around him made him realize that from this moment on, the status and fate of his clan would be very different.

In a daze, he recalled the scene when he calculated the clan's fate: "Great fortune reaching the heavens"—this was the very place!

At the banquet, Wang Hongwu naturally became the focus of attention. Many founders of civilizations surrounded him to discuss, and some even debated with him, which greatly inspired them. They thanked him as disciples.

After everyone had had their fill of excitement, the Supreme Being spoke and bestowed various rewards.

“Young friend, we are preparing to forge another supreme artifact for you to protect yourself. Do you have any requests or ideas?” The three artifact owners looked at Wang Hongwu. They had treasured materials, and the Black Blood High Priest also had leftover treasures. In addition, with the Time Furnace and Sacrificial Fire they had obtained, it was possible to forge a new supreme artifact.

“I have a spear in my hand that I wish to upgrade into an imperial weapon.” Wang Hongwu thought for a moment and handed over the Emperor-Slaying Spear. Originally, it was just a spear stained with the blood of the Dao Ancestor, but it later merged with the fierce spear baptized by the blood of the Supreme Being, and thus became different.

Upon seeing this, the emperors nodded, raised their hands, and sent the spear into the Time Furnace to begin refining it. In an instant, the entire universe was transformed, and by the time it reappeared, an entire era had passed within the furnace.

A brand-new spear appeared in the void, its tip crimson, still stained with the blood of the Supreme One, while the shaft was the dreamlike color of the Origin Mother Gold, surrounded by patterns of sacrificial fire, and inscribed with Dao patterns of the Supreme Realm, a blessing of the Immortal Emperor level.

"A fine weapon." Wang Hongwu clenched his fist, and the spear fell into his hand. The entire imperial weapon had an ancient feel, weathered by countless years, spanning endless time. It had traces of lightning, patterns of the Great Dao, and illustrations from ancient history, explaining its antiquity and witnessing the evolution of heaven and earth, the great battle between the heavens and the calamity, and the fall of the supreme.

In an instant, a spear and a lamp flew around Wang Hongwu, bursting forth with brilliant holy light. Prayers arose, praising God's majesty and revering the emperor's power; hymns echoed, scattering God's glory and illuminating the path ahead of the lamb.

The spear of God, the lamp of God!
With two supreme artifacts at his disposal, Wang Hongwu smiled. This was truly a great gain. These two artifacts could also enhance his imperial techniques, allowing him to unleash truly supreme arts.

Shi Hao also obtained an imperial artifact crafted by the supreme beings from the remains of the chief priest. He used the Scroll of Eternal Heavens as a vessel to sublimate it into a supreme artifact. When he was in full control, he could use the power of the weapon to sublimate to the realm of imperial law.

"Your merits in this battle are greater than heaven's, and this reward is not enough. From now on, Heaven will leave you with two great civilizations to be worshipped for generations; we will also bestow scriptures upon you, hoping that you will soon reach the end of your journey and leap to the highest heavens."

Then, the ten supreme beings smiled, and with a flick of their hands, scriptures appeared and fell into the bodies of Wang Hongwu and Shi Hao.

The Ten Supreme Scriptures!

That is the mystery of the ten paths of evolution, which is transformed into a mysterious character, and sometimes it divides into countless characters. Their characters alone are the Dao, which can bloom in different eras and different evolutionary civilizations, and be interpreted to reveal their true meaning.

It is simply a supreme scripture. Through each stroke of the pen, it powerfully reveals to future generations an unfathomable Tao. It is like the supreme pressure descending, and even reciting it is enough to suppress all spirits and subdue the supreme!

For Wang Hongwu, the Ten Supreme Scriptures held a special significance, as they contained parts worth studying and some methods that could be applied. Of course, by interpreting them using imperial laws, one could also create an incarnation with similar cultivation. However, for his subordinates, the significance was far greater.

Whether in the heavens or in other realms, those who can become Quasi-Immortal Emperors or Dao Ancestors are ultimately few and far between. Such beings are already extremely rare, possessing extraordinary talent. However, the Supreme Scripture can increase this probability, and passing it down is a good thing. At least a few in other realms will have hope of breaking through. Dao Ancestors and the like don't have that ability; if they could expand, they would have done so long ago. But Quasi-Immortal Emperors are still within reach.

In addition, knowing that his imperial laws were special and his system was different, the Celestial Emperor of the Heavens also gave Wang Hongwu ten kinds of supreme substances, each only a wisp, but that was enough.

"The original blueprint was to use ten totems to represent ten chief priests. Now it seems that we can also emulate the transformation during the King's Domain, merging the substances of the ten supreme beings and the ten chief priests, and transforming them together."

Wang Hongwu's expression shifted, and he immediately conceived a plan. He directly integrated the ten supreme substances into the ten fierce totems. The resulting changes were incredibly powerful. The ten totems transformed from ten powerful, supreme, and world-shaking entities into ten supreme Dao Ancestors! Such speed was astonishing. The effect of a single wisp of supreme substance was already remarkable enough. Wang Hongwu could even use this totem in conjunction with the ten supreme scriptures he had previously created, directly using imperial techniques to manifest their Dao Ancestor-level forms to aid him in battle. It was a crucial foundation, and it would still be useful even in the supreme realm.

"This trip to Heaven has not been in vain." Wang Hongwu felt a surge of joy. Then, a soft sound came from the sacrificial bowl. It was indeed a double blessing. The hardest bone, the Old Man of Annihilation, had also been converted.

Now, under his throne, there are four emperors, three ancestors, and six supreme beings, making him a terrifying force.

"With everything settled, it's time for me to return. The Ancient Era will reference the position of the Supreme Ruler, complete the human body and the heavens, and begin the plan to mass-produce Quasi-Immortal Emperors." He had already made his decision and was about to leave; this time, he had already done enough for the Heavens.

Moreover, with the Hall Master of the Guiding Hall, the Stone Mill, and the Time Furnace present, the situation can be managed for the time being.

In the end, Wang Hongwu left, preparing to go to the Land of Heaven to return to the Ancient Era. Before leaving, he bid farewell to Shi Hao and gave him a seed, saying, "Shi Hao, I am leaving now. I don't know when we will meet again. If you can't see me in the world, you can go and see the Four Ancient Lands."

"The Four Ancient Lands? I understand." Shi Hao nodded, watching Wang Hongwu leave. A seed suddenly appeared in his palm. It was left to him by Wang Hongwu, storing a portion of his own Emperor Law's power. In critical moments, he could use it to merge with the Emperor Law and protect himself.

After that, the heavens reserved two great civilizations for them.

The Tai Sui civilization originated with Wang Hongwu; the Mysterious Realm civilization originated with Shi Hao.

Everyone knows that this is probably the future eleventh and twelfth supreme civilizations, enjoying the incense offerings of the heavens and being worshipped for eternity.

Within the land of Evil, however, lies a somber atmosphere, the complete opposite of the joyous celebrations of Heaven.

On the plateau, several tall and oppressive black figures remained silent for a long time. They were dim and indistinct, covered with marks and bloodstains.

They were the high priests, enjoying boundless glory and unfathomable power. If their full strength were revealed, it would be enough to overturn the heavens. However, their defeat in today's interdimensional war was extremely embarrassing for them, and an unexpected turn of events occurred.

On this very day, in the deepest part of the land, at the edge of the plateau, ancient, chilling syllables resounded, shaking all living beings, and causing all things to be born and die because of them.

That is an ominous ancestral land!

“Something has happened in the ancestral land, let’s go take a look.” The red-robed high priest broke the silence first and headed in that direction. The other high priests also stopped reminiscing about the Black Blood Supreme and followed.

The end of the plateau was quiet, only making some noise when the blood-red whirlwind swept by, stirring up ominous dust and causing the few sparse plants to sway.

In the ancestral land, a mysterious Great Dao Tree was shrouded in a dense, eerie substance. It swayed in the wind, and the friction between its branches and leaves produced a sound of countless collisions, with rules scattering everywhere.

At that moment, the soil beneath the Erna tree cracked open, revealing a coffin buried for an unknown period of time.

A figure stood atop it, shrouded in a dark mist, his rotting clothes clinging to his terrifying body, like a vengeful ghost awakening from its slumber after countless ages.

"The progenitor?!"

The moment they saw him, all nine chief priests changed color, and then respectfully bowed and paid their respects, not daring to utter a single word.

The progenitor is the source of misfortune, above the ten chief priests. Such an existence, merely by being born and standing there, can shake the long river of time and annihilate all tangible things.

In this life, rumors are circulating within the strange race that the most powerful being in the race will be resurrected and return. Unexpectedly, it is true!

The progenitor of the Black Blood lineage remained silent, only gazing at the sacrificial ground that originally belonged to the Black Priest, his brow furrowed.

In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled, the plateau roared as if it were about to collapse, and the infinite Dao manifested as one divine chain after another, which then exploded into fragments, making the entire spacetime unstable.

All the dark creatures and all the strange races were shocked, then trembled, and involuntarily knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly.

Whether on a dimly lit plateau or in some other gray universe, they worship with trembling bodies, driven by an instinct, as if on a pilgrimage.

Even the Dark Dao Ancestor-level beings were kneeling on the ground in their respective realms, not rising.

That was an existence that surpassed even the highest beings, unfathomable, with inconceivable strength, revered as a terrifying being who had reached the pinnacle of enlightenment.

"Has the progenitor truly been born?" The Lord of the Soul River sensed it, and the outline of Wang Hongwu appeared in his eyes, concealed by the ancestral pollen, thus going unnoticed.

And it wasn't just him; all the ominous creatures that returned after the war, except for the dozen or so who wielded the supreme artifacts, were in the same situation, already controlled by Wang Hongwu.

"Did the progenitor awaken because of the incident involving the Black Priest?" The nine priests exchanged glances, their expressions varied and somewhat worried. If blame were to be assigned, none of them would be able to escape responsibility.

"Useless." After understanding the cause and effect, the progenitor uttered only these two words.

He knew of the victory of the gods and the reversal of the situation, and he was very dissatisfied with his priests who had become complacent and neglected their preparations and spiritual practice.

To be bitten back by one's prey is the mark of an arrogant fool!

"Since a change has occurred, it must be eliminated with all our might! Then I will take action and resolve this matter with Heaven." The progenitor of the Black Blood lineage spoke, his voice powerful and resonant, tearing apart the edge of the vast universe outside the plateau, causing all dark beings to tremble.

The progenitor is about to make a move?!

With his strength, killing a Supreme Being would not be effortless. If he were to go on an expedition, with the help of the nine High Priests, he could probably wipe out the heavens.

It should be noted that even the weapons of the progenitor are still stained with the indelible blood of the supreme being.

"Heavens, your smugness won't last long. The Red Era Grand Sacrifice will inevitably take shape, and no one can stop it." The Red High Priest sneered. The death of a supreme being brings about a tremendous change.

At this moment, the progenitor spoke, and even the most powerful creatures of the strange race felt their hair stand on end, a sense of horror, and intense unease.

At the same time, within the Heavenly Realm, at the end of Pollen Road, a figure opened his eyes and sensed the fluctuations of the future.

Is a major shift imminent?

Just as she had expected, there were beings in the land of Calamity who surpassed the High Priest, but they had never appeared until now. Those guys couldn't hold back any longer.

However, it is unknown how many beings of that level there are.

Meanwhile, Wang Hongwu returned to the Heavenly Land among the myriad realms, restarting the cycle of reincarnation and returning to the Ancient Era.

In that era, the ten ancient realms gathered together, and the position of the supreme ruler of all heavens was already determined. It was time to return and ascend to the throne.

Actions targeting the four ancient lands and the Evil Land were thus launched.

Swish!
As time flows on, waves rise and fall, and a figure drifts away, returning downstream.

There, there is brilliance and darkness; a pair of fists tore through the filth and carved out a sky.
