The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 311 Returning to the Ancient Lord of All Heavens, the Soul River Burial Pit Appears in the Calamity Land
The land that connects heaven and earth, the cycle of reincarnation, begins a new chapter.

On this day, thunderbolts fell from the sky, and Dao flowers bloomed in the void. All the heavens resonated with this, and countless extraordinary phenomena appeared.

Emperor Wu returned from the cycle of reincarnation, and a thousand years had passed in the world.

Above the Thirty-Three Heavens, Wang Hongwu's figure reappeared. His aura as a supreme Dao Ancestor was restrained, yet it still caused the vast heavens to emit a muffled sound, violently shaking and almost being crushed.

Behind him, the four supreme Dao Ancestors—the Azure Emperor, the Flood Emperor, the Feather Emperor, and the World Destroyer—appeared, their expressions respectful; further behind them were the three Calamity Earth Dao Ancestors and the six strange and supreme beings, all with devout expressions and bowed heads.

Following this, the ten fierce totems on Wang Hongwu's body also revived, transforming into ten figures that landed on the ground. All of them possessed the cultivation of a supreme Dao Ancestor, and suddenly there were twenty-three more beings in the ultimate realm in the arena.

The ten supreme scrolls transformed into layers upon layers of a sea of ​​scriptures, submerging the thirty-three heavens; at the very top were the two supreme instruments, the Spear of God and the Lamp of God, radiating a magnificent holy light that illuminated all the heavens.

The mere leakage of a wisp of energy caused a qualitative change in the entire Thirty-Three Heavens Celestial Court, transforming it into the most supreme holy land among all heavens. Countless beings underwent direct transformations, breaking through to new heights on the spot, and some even became immortals, attaining eternal life.

This is what he gained upon returning from the heavens, along with a series of other things that will soon be able to reshape the heavens and rewrite everything.

"Heavenly Father!"

The next moment, the kings from other realms arrived. More than two hundred kings bowed down in unison, having come into contact with this supreme scripture and felt its mysterious essence, filled with longing.

Even in the highest realms, only a very few people are qualified to obtain the supreme scriptures. Even at grand gatherings among Daoists, only one scroll of the supreme scriptures will appear for study and comprehension.

"Among you, there is hope for the birth of supreme beings. Strive on and do not let me down."

Wang Hongwu looked down at them, and with a wave of his hand, the Origin Mother Gold spread out, baptizing each king and coating them all with a layer of Mother Gold radiance. They underwent the Origin Nirvana and were no longer afraid of the erosion of ominous substances.

In an instant, the dreamlike metallic colors spread and danced in flame-like shapes, enveloping each guardian king and transforming their physical bodies into mother gold bodies, baptizing and sublimating them.

The resulting transformation was terrifying. Among the kings present, the flawless became the supreme, and then the giant. The original giants all became the supreme beings, and even manifested the Emperor Light. Among them, the former masters of the alien realm at the Emperor Light level directly transformed into a profound realm of half-step supreme. This was an immense fortune.

After all, he was a being who pioneered the cultivation system in another realm, and compared to the Burial Master, he was still barely passable.

Of course, if the Heavenly Father ascends to the highest place, this substance will certainly be able to directly transform some outstanding beings into supreme beings. However, it is not yet perfect, but it is enough when combined with the supreme scriptures.

As for the others, such as Kundi, Wushang, Chiwang, and Pumowang, becoming Dao Ancestors is impossible for them. The path more suitable for them is to be Supreme, relying on Origin Matter and Supreme Scriptures to break through upwards. There is still hope for them, because this is only Supreme, not a path pioneer born of heaven.

For the many beings in this vast world, the supreme and ultimate are already unattainable peaks!
You should know that even the highest rank among all the gods is only at this level.

The highest point is ultimately the summit, something that ordinary protagonists of different eras cannot reach.

The sudden addition of over two hundred Immortal King giants, Emperor Light beings, and a half-step Supreme being is terrifying in the myriad realms; but it's not enough for Wang Hongwu. If he wanted, he could mass-produce Immortal Kings, but these mass-produced kings would be stuck at that level for life and unable to improve their strength. This could be done in parallel with the plundering of talents from the Calamity Land.

With his return, the unification of all heavens reached its culmination. A massive beam of light burst forth between heaven and earth, as if creating the world, causing the entire mortal realm to be shrouded in mist and vapor, with the rules of the Great Dao intertwining endlessly.

Many people saw various Dao traces intertwined and various rules fused together, condensing into a human figure that looked exactly like Wang Hongwu. Moreover, the Great Dao in the sky continued to unfold, eventually transforming into an imperial crown-like position.

That is the symbol of the Lord of All Heavens, which has already been formed.

"The Lord of All Heavens has returned to his position!" "It's most likely that the return of the Martial Emperor triggered this upheaval."

"After many twists and turns, the heavens have been unified, and this day has finally come."

The immortal kings of all realms sensed this and understood that a being had been born that transcended the realm of kingship. However, it seemed that the Martial Emperor did not attain enlightenment by relying on the position of the ruler of all heavens.
Did he break through on his own?
However, no one can be sure, because they are all just Immortal Kings, and their past history has been interrupted. They have no understanding of the Emperor's Realm. Who knows what rank that is?
Even if you have a thought in your mind, you can only guess.

After all, no Immortal King has the ability to know the strength and hierarchy of the Dao Ancestor's Domain, or even the Supreme Domain.

"The great unification will begin today."

When the decrees of the various celestial kings were transmitted back to their respective great worlds, and when all the races of the heavens knew that a new supreme ruler had been established, a vast and powerful will surged forth, and the light of the Great Dao rose and rolled down toward the Thirty-Three Heavens Celestial Court.

"The Great Celestial Venerable has returned." The Emperor Venerable, who was in seclusion, also opened his eyes. He had become a Celestial King, but for some reason, he felt that he was getting further and further away from the Martial Emperor, as if the other party had entered a ceiling-like realm and become the source.

And every time I think of him, a strange change occurs, and my history is filled with traces of him!
Even when deducing the origins of each realm, it was discovered that he was present in the origin of every great realm.

His figure stands in the ancient history of all the heavens and myriad worlds, sitting there, opening the heavens with a single word, bestowing light, and creating the world.

All the heavens throughout history originated from one person!
Upon realizing this change, the Emperor understood that the Great Celestial Venerable had probably already broken through, but he didn't know what level he had reached, as he had no way of judging.

Meanwhile, in the desolate wilderness of the heavens, the group also sensed something and looked towards the direction of the Thirty-Three Heavens, but quickly turned back.

"Hey, you unscrupulous Taoist, is this path of reincarnation you dug up legitimate?" Ye Fan asked suspiciously, staring at Duan De, who was holding a hoe in one hand and a pickaxe in the other. He had dug out a path leading to the outer heavens, seemingly connected to the four ancient lands and even the ruins of past civilizations, and had gathered his friends to explore it together.

Accompanying them were the Empress and her brother, the Great Emperor Wushi, the Black Emperor, and even the Azure Emperor. Together, they restored the broken cycle of reincarnation and entered it, traveling beyond the heavens.

Because Duan De patted his chest and guaranteed that even if something unexpected happened, he could still call upon the old king's name and manifest his divine power to turn misfortune into blessing.

Moments later, all the heavens and worlds resonated together, the Great Dao echoed, and astonishing auspicious light surged between heaven and earth, like a vast ocean, celebrating the birth of the Lord of All Heavens.

Above the Thirty-Three Heavens, Wang Hongwu looked down upon all of this. With a single reach of his hand, the throne of the sovereign, which had originally illuminated all the heavens and fully displayed the majesty of an emperor, dimmed.

Everyone saw that the terrifying crown, which radiated the aura of an emperor, was shrouded in shadow, and all its luster and aura were crushed and forced back.

When they saw the true form of the shadow, their hearts skipped a beat and their breath caught in their throats, because it was a hand.

With a single hand, he casually grasped the position of the supreme ruler, suppressed all the terrifying fluctuations of the emperor level, and calmly returned to the Thirty-Three Heavens.

"They just arrested him like that?"

All the kings were taken aback, and then their hearts were filled with great shock. That kind of fruition was undoubtedly something of the ultimate realm, and the fact that it could be easily suppressed and taken away without any concern proved only one thing: the Great Celestial Venerable had already stepped into that realm!
This idea shocked everyone because it was so astonishing. Only a thousand years had passed, and it had already reached this point, even surpassing the position of the Lord of All Heavens. What did this represent?
They dared not even think about it anymore; they only felt ever greater awe for the Great Celestial Venerable and the Martial Emperor, silently reciting their names in hopes of protection.

"With the Lord of All Heavens established, a new era will begin." Many old monsters who had been sleeping in the mortal realm were awakened and marveled at the event. Time had passed, the era had been turbulent, and a new era had begun.

When the Lord of All Heavens was first established, the four seas roared, and the divine runes of the order of the heavens appeared, reflecting on the major worlds and triggering a resonance among all races.

At this moment, all evolved beings knew that heaven and earth were united, the imperial throne was raised, and it would illuminate all the world.

That aura was incredibly terrifying, drawing upon the immense aspirations of all beings and guiding them towards boundless destiny. It was Wang Hongwu researching the fruition of the Lord of All Heavens.

He explored its mysteries, held it in his palm to observe, and even the myriad worlds within his body changed accordingly, condensing into a similar product.

"The blessings of the heavens bestowed upon me are a great cause and effect, but for the Tai Sui system, they are a great tonic." Wang Hongwu randomly integrated them into his body, bearing the cause and effect of the heavens, and incorporated them into the evolution path of the system, making them a means that can trigger the collapse of the heavens' blessings to injure enemies or cast spells. When combined with the Emperor's Law, it is not as simple as just one heaven, but rather the simultaneous annihilation of all the heavens of countless ages, an immense cause and effect.

At this moment, the Lord of all Heavens returned to his position, the Great Dao was moved, and the rules resonated. In an instant, all the heavens were in harmony with him, and they were all born in response to his destiny, radiating auspicious light, releasing peaceful energy, and triggering all kinds of grand phenomena.

"The supreme ruler has ascended the throne!"

All the kings understood, and could feel, that the Great Dao permeating all realms seemed to have gained an additional source, a ruler, the helmsman of all the heavens and myriad realms.

"The Emperor's throne rises, the Common Ruler stands, and from this day forth, a new era shall begin." At the same time, Wang Hongwu revealed his true form, appearing in all worlds and resonating in the hearts of all beings.

Although the Celestial King issued a decree, in such a short time, it was impossible for all the mortals of various races to know the so-called supreme ruler. Ordinary people were more concerned with the necessities of life, and were burdened by daily routines. Who cared who this high and mighty ruler was?

When the Lord of All Heavens personally divided his thoughts and communicated with all living beings, the vast power that stirred up caused all realms to tremble violently, the Great Dao to resound, and countless rules to emerge, spanning the long river of time from ancient times to the present.

Such cause and effect is unimaginable. The greater the fortune one receives, the greater the karmic consequences one must bear. There are endless sentient beings, and each one has different thoughts. Desires can never be filled, and one will eventually be influenced. However, one can still find some commonalities among them, such as peace, tranquility, and the expulsion of misfortune. This is also the direction chosen by the common lord of all heavens.

However, these things were irrelevant to Wang Hongwu. His system possessed the essence and means to manipulate cause and effect, allowing him to directly encompass everything, manipulate the threads of karma, and bestow blessings upon all beings, gradually guiding their future life journeys towards a better direction. "Welcome the grace of the Lord, and may a new era be established!"

The kings bowed and paid homage to each other, shouting that the new era meant new creation and opportunities, bringing too many benefits.

Above the Thirty-Three Heavens, Wang Hongwu felt a sense of urgency and prepared to establish a new era name.

"Ha, a new era? How laughable. This era was predicted billions of years ago; it was a gray era. Everything was already destined."

Just then, outside the mortal realm, a cold laugh suddenly echoed from a corner of the heavens, accompanied by a large swath of mist, filled with eeriness and misfortune.

With the return of the Lord of All Heavens to his position and the birth of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, it signifies that all the myriad realms have reached a state of prosperity, are worthy of harvest, and can begin to be sacrificed.

Otherwise, without a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, the sacrifice would be meaningless and would not be carried out; therefore, the four ancient lands have always waited until a new Quasi-Immortal Emperor is born before taking action.

"So the ominous creature from before has indeed reappeared!" All realms were horrified. Although the River of Souls had appeared before and declared that the day of the Little Sacrifice's harvest would be when the Lord of All Heavens returned to his position.

But I didn't expect them to act so quickly!

Can it be stopped? For a moment, the kings were also uneasy. If the River of Souls were to bring down a calamity, it would truly be a small sacrifice to the heavens.

Above the Thirty-Three Heavens, Wang Hongwu calmly surveyed everything. He was waiting; one Soul River was not enough. He had already controlled the Lord of the Soul River back in the Heavenly Realm. What he wanted were other ancient lands.

The Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit and the Four Extremes Floating Soil are quite good.

Then, at the edge of the horizon, where the sound echoed, the void gradually cracked, and crystalline energy flowed, intertwining and spreading, forming a path, shaped like a wheel of reincarnation, which rapidly spread and emitted ripples.

This cycle of energy is very special. It is made of energy, and the ripples that spread out form a net. At the center of the net is a deep passage. Faintly, everyone can hear the sound of flowing water and the wails of countless souls. It is extremely terrifying. There is a hole in the net-like energy cycle that leads to the depths of the mist and the River of Souls.

"The River of Souls has truly arrived," a Celestial King sighed, sensing the terror.

In the thick fog, there really was a river, appearing and disappearing, indistinct and unclear, while on the banks were endless grains of sand.

Then, towering waves surged, the River of Souls churned, and crystalline soul light swirled around it. Some of the waves of the River of Souls even reached the edge of the special passage, piercing through the cycle of reincarnation and reaching the mortal realm.

In a daze, the sun and sky were obscured, a black sun hung in the sky, and all the heavens were silent and trembling. If this river were to surge forth, it would be a catastrophe that would destroy the world and shock the past and present.

"At the end of the soul, everything is supreme. The portal is open, so I will preside over today's sacrifice. It has been a long time since I have enjoyed a blood-red feast of an entire world. I feel the vigorous life force. This world is vast and prosperous. Very good, let the sacrifice begin."

Before that River of Souls, beneath the boundless sands on its banks, a strange voice rang out. A living being had indeed awakened, and its words sent chills down everyone's spines.

In that place, if a sacrifice is to be made, it is done on a whole world basis, requiring the sacrifice of all living beings in the entire universe. All spirits are annihilated, blood stains the sky and the earth, and everything is completely wiped out.

At the same time, another cycle of reincarnation emerged, and a magnificent phenomenon appeared, as if an ancient gate that had been buried by dark dust for hundreds of millions of years was being slowly pushed open from the mist and reappeared in the world!
There, connected to the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit, ancient and mysterious, a faint voice emanated from within: "Soul River, since you have chosen to recuperate, there is no need to rush into the world. Leave this small sacrifice to us."

"What does it mean that the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit is trying to steal offerings from my River of Souls?" A voice rang out from behind the River of Souls, sounding very displeased. It had already secured its dominance over all the heavens, but now someone was trying to steal its food.
This is not allowed.

"That is not true. As the ruler of all heavens and the new Heavenly Emperor, it is only natural for him to enter my burial pit. Fellow Daoist, you are overthinking it." The voice came from the direction of the Heavenly Emperor's burial pit and descended on the path of reincarnation.

That being emerged from the burial pit, holding an unparalleled position, standing alone at the highest point of eternity in the prehistoric era of imperial decline, overlooking billions of living beings.

The moment he was born, countless phenomena filled the heavens, thousands of celestial kings bowed their heads, and the great world turned into dust. Only the supreme and eternal, the ultimate Dao, remained.

Hmph! From the direction of the Soul River, another supreme being emerged. If he hadn't revealed himself, one would not have been able to sense his presence at all.

This is the supreme being. If it does not want you to perceive it or see it, it will remain unaware even if it stands right in front of you.

"You can't stomach this dish of the heavens."

"That's not up to you."

Two supreme rulers descended, seeking to reap the rewards of all the heavens, while the lesser ruler offered sacrifices.

"How about this? We'll give that newly promoted Lord of the Heavens a chance to fight us and see who defeats him. Whoever does will get this small sacrifice. What do you say?" Soul River Supreme smiled calmly, full of composure. In his eyes, what was a newly promoted junior? He could easily suppress him.

The world was speechless. How dare the River of Souls be so arrogant, declaring the life or death of an emperor with a single word?
They also want to divide up the minor sacrifices of the heavens?

Before the supreme being in the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit could respond, and was just about to say something, his pupils suddenly contracted, because a cold snort suddenly came from the direction of the birth of the Lord of All Heavens above the Thirty-Three Heavens.

snort!
It was just a sound, yet it actually condensed into a genuine Great Dao character, pressing down from it. From it came the cries of all living beings, the ancient heavenly sound of all races worshipping together, as if all the heavenly beings were calling out and praying together, grand and magnificent, shaking the past, present and future.

*Poof!* Before the Supreme Soul River could finish speaking, he was instantly killed by the character, falling into eternal silence with no hope of resurrection.

Moreover, a hand reached out from the heavens, stretched out into a palm, and slammed down on the River of Souls.

Boom!
In an instant, the waves exploded, and the end of the River of Souls seemed to dry up. At this moment, many people truly saw the truth reflected there.

There really was a door, submerged by the mottled years, buried by the dust of history, so weathered, ancient and worn, and extremely blurry. But at this moment, that door was slapped open and forced back down.

Instantly, towering waves surged, and piercing cries echoed from within the River of Souls. There were roars of beasts, wails like those of vengeful ghosts, and even the rolling of the universe itself. Blood-stained objects fell from the dim heavens and plunged into the River of Souls.

The Soul River was shattered by a single palm strike and forcibly pushed back down.

Then, the passage shattered, and a great ancient land fled in panic.

Gone? !
Just gone?
Throughout the heavens, all the Celestial Kings were stunned. The River of Souls! Such a vast River of Souls! The mastermind behind the fall of the Eternal Emperor! Harvesting the River of Souls from the heavens time and time again!
He was just slapped away like that?
The scene before them left them in a daze, even causing them to question history and life itself.

If it's not a problem with the River of Souls, then the new generation of the Lord of All Heavens is too powerful, so powerful it defies the heavens and reaches an inconceivable level.

"Brother Dao, no, senior, it's a misunderstanding!" The Supreme Being descending from the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit shrank his pupils and tried to escape, but Wang Hongwu caught him with a breath and pulled him back into his hand. "There is no misunderstanding, only inevitability."

In an instant, the Imperial Law was activated, seizing this supreme origin and history, transforming it into another self, completely replacing it, and transforming it into this supreme being.

Wang Hongwu would certainly not risk his life. He had tricked the Etu people badly back then, and those supreme beings remembered him deeply. Of course, he would use the imperial law to cover up others, borrow their identities, and then take over the position of the burial pit master, unify the four ancient lands, and rise to power.

No matter who comes to investigate, they will not find any problems, because it is its original history, and is covered by the supreme power and the seeds left by the Pollen Emperor, and is not afraid of the chief priest and the ancestor's deduction.

"Let's begin with the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit here." Wang Hongwu smiled, opened his mouth and inhaled, and the vast universe surged into his body and disappeared into the outside world.

All the heavens and myriad worlds vanished, absorbed into Wang Hongwu's body.

From now on, Etu will have no way to perform the grand sacrifices to the heavens.

For Wang Hongwu, the feast was just beginning; it was time to recruit talent from the markets of the four ancient lands.

It's pointless to keep defending the myriad realms and constantly repelling the four ancient lands. That will only wait for the Calamity Lands to come stronger, then defeat the weak and the old will come, repeating the cycle until the High Priest or the Ancestor is born. There's no need for that. And why must it be the myriad realms that are guarding the home? Wouldn't it be better to let the Calamity Lands guard the home? They are the ones we should be wary of!

He can take the heavens with him and be born from the imperial law, so he can stir up trouble in the land of calamity without restraint, use their people, occupy their people, and then consume and disintegrate them from within. When he cooperates with Shi Hao from the inside and outside, he can achieve the overthrow.

The outstanding and supreme is his, the amazing Dao Ancestor is also his, they will all become the Lamb of God, the Other Self of the God. Self-cultivation and growth of the heavens are too slow, just go to the Evil Land and snatch them directly.

Using the strange centaurs to fight the strange ones, you won't feel bad about the losses, you can get something for nothing.
