The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 71: The End of the Divine Ruins, the Grand Event in Zhongzhou

Woohoo!

Blood rain was pouring down across the vast space, the sky and earth were dark, a whirlwind of yellow hair arose, bringing with it thunder, the saint fell, and the sky and earth resonated.

A saint was killed by someone, although it was purely an external force, it was still horrifying enough. You know, as long as there is a word "saint" on it, the difference is like heaven and earth. Even a great king would have to suffer the bitter defeat, and it is difficult to overcome.

This was a shocking scene, even the visitors from the divine organization frowned. Everyone was like clay sculptures or wooden carvings. No matter how many years passed, they would never forget it. It was imprinted in their hearts and could never be erased.

"Is what I saw real? He killed the Ghost Saint!"

"This is a miracle. The Five Realms are shaking. Something terrible has happened!"

"That ghost stone statue is the legendary Quasi-Emperor Killing Formation from the past? Combined with the Extreme Dao Mark, Quasi-Emperor Weapon, and Forbidden Weapon, his death is not unjust. Who else could deserve such a treatment?"

It was unknown how long it took before people exclaimed in surprise. They all looked up at this miraculous result, excitement in their eyes.

Many creatures sighed that they would never be able to achieve such an achievement in their lifetime, and could only look up to it but not surpass it.

Although they knew there were other reasons, all the creatures of various races and visitors from outside the domain were also agitated, and felt a sense of awe and fear towards Wang Hongwu. He was just an almighty being, but he had only achieved this. The future would only be more terrifying.

"Huh... I feel so good. I feel so happy today. I killed a saint. Let's see which cemetery will dare not let me patronize it, and which grave will not let me give orders!" Duan De's forehead was sweating profusely, but he put his hands on his hips, looking very proud. He did not show his master's demeanor for a few moments and then returned to his original state, which surprised everyone.

This master is really unique... Many people were speechless, wiped their foreheads, and secretly made up their minds not to provoke him, so as to avoid their own graves being visited.

Wang Hongwu said nothing, but just grabbed the corner of the sarcophagus and put away the incomplete quasi-emperor ghost statue. The crack on it had also widened a little, and he needed to find some magical materials to repair it. He glanced around, but circle after circle of masters frowned and stopped moving forward.

They were hesitant and fearful. Although they knew that the previous formation outbreak period had passed and that the Ghost Saint had taken on the greatest danger for them, the evil spirits in the coffin were too terrifying and could take people's lives at any time.

Besides, there was no point in them wanting the Holy Spirit's corpse! They would need to find a Great Sage or a Quasi-Emperor wielding an Ancient Imperial Weapon to neutralize it. Who would want to waste that time? And then there was the prospect of a life-or-death battle with the Dragon King. Only a fool would go for that. It was totally unprofitable!

"My friend, these ancient coffins of gods are really needed by our clan. Can we discuss it and go to Shencan Ridge for a chat in the future?" At this moment, the Taoist Shencan appeared. He had no intention of taking action. He looked calm and asked Wang Hongwu about it, wanting to trade in a peaceful way.

"I also have some needs for the sarcophagus in your hand. Maybe we can exchange insights." Wang Hongwu thought that he just needed the scriptures and environment inside the sarcophagus. It didn't matter which one it was. There was a lot of room for cooperation between the two sides, so he agreed.

Then, everyone's eyes shifted to other parts of the hall, some trying to collect the sacred spring, and some trying to dig out the stone pillars with the marks of the sacred beasts. At this moment, Huang Xudao, who was standing in front of a phoenix stone pillar and gaining enlightenment, suddenly opened his eyes and let out a clear whistle.

Boom! Then thunder struck from the sky, and the ancient prince also broke through, following closely in the footsteps of Wang Hongwu and the Golden Goddess.

However, he was only interested in practicing Taoism and had no intention of using the thunder to kill everyone, so he moved sideways and used infinite thunder light to create a passage to the back of the Heavenly Palace.

Looking along the passage, people found that there were flowing springs and divine lights swaying together, waterfalls and phoenixes dancing together, and that area had large green mountains, strange rocks and peaks, and purple mist.

However, in this area, there were countless corpses, all of them were heavenly soldiers and generals, the war troops of the ancient heaven. Each one was lifelike, and the expressions on their faces could still be seen clearly, but they were already dead.

They were not killed in a head-on fight, but were swept away by an aftermath that killed all their souls in an instant, leaving only their physical bodies lying there.

"What kind of beings are fighting? The Great Sage, or the legendary Quasi-Emperor?" People were horrified. This was too terrifying, because there were many corpses of saints among them, who died without any power to resist.

"Is this an important place in the ancient heaven?" Wang Hongwu glanced at a number of altars on which were placed divine fruits, jade dew and nectar, and there were people standing by distributing them, as if they were rewarding people according to their merits.

"That's the Jade Dew of Heaven, no less potent than the Little Medicine King's. It's a top-notch treasure that can both prolong life and refine the body. Only those heavenly generals who have made great contributions can be rewarded, and they are all saints!"

"I've seen that pink divine fruit in ancient books. It's the Qiankun Fruit. It contains fragments of the Dao of heaven and earth. It's most effective for immortals. It can save time on comprehension and cultivation, and directly increase your Dao!"

"There is also an ancient spiritual jade, which is specially used to record the preaching and chanting of scriptures by the powerful. I'm afraid there are good things in it."

The saints who came from outer space were knowledgeable and recognized the treasures here. They were very interested in them and everyone tried to collect them.

At this moment, there was a clang sound, and the black wooden coffin in the underworld was opened. A tall figure sat up from inside and took a step forward. A gloomy and evil aura appeared under the sky, and it was cold and biting.

"A Saint King?" All the creatures nearby were startled, feeling cold from head to toe. Facing him was like facing an ancient evil spirit, and their hearts were trembling.

This person was wearing a black outfit that was very loose and covered his entire body, even his head. He smiled sinisterly, and with a clear whistle, a node in the underworld opened, transmitting continuous light. More than a million ghost soldiers came from all directions, all of them with a monstrous corpse aura, and surrounded here.

"Millions of ghosts will set up a formation to lead the Heavenly Court into the underworld for reincarnation!" shouted the Ghost Saint King. He actually wanted to drag the entire ruins of the Heavenly Court into the underworld and turn all the corpses here into war slaves.

Oh no! The saints from outside the domain and the ancestral kings of Beidou also changed color and worked together to stop the millions of ghost soldiers. According to legend, the ghost soldiers are deadly to corpses and can assimilate them once they get close.

If these things were to fall into the underworld, it would be unimaginable!
This place became the Shura Hell in the blink of an eye. There were many visitors from the underworld. The Yin drums were beating, and the Senluo Hell emerged. Large bone ships and Yin palaces appeared in the void, and more Yin soldiers fell.

Millions of ghost soldiers stepped into the underworld with a roar. With their impact, the solidified corpses of the heavenly soldiers and generals revived and turned around. Horrible black animal hair grew on the surface of their skin. The souls that rushed out of the underworld palace occupied their bodies, turning them into their own uses, and roared again in the mortal world.

Roar! In just a few moments, half of the corpses scattered across the mountains and plains transformed into corpse ghosts, falling from heaven into the underworld. Although their strength was much inferior to that in life, their number was boundless, filling the mountains and rivers in an instant.

The saints tried to stop them. They enlarged their bodies, stood in mid-air, and stomped their feet down, directly crushing the mountains and rivers.

This is the Dharma Realm. The holy beings are thousands of feet tall, soaring into the sky. Their huge feet step down like a small mountain, shaking the sky and the earth. The mountain area suddenly collapses, the earth cracks, the mountains fall down, and the rocks roar through the clouds, making it impossible to open your eyes.

"Hahaha, you dare to fight against my underworld?" The Ghost Saint King laughed loudly, and the nodes of the underworld behind him expanded again. The corpses of saints appeared from them continuously. What they lacked the least was combat power.

Swish! A surging holy light mixed with the boiling dark mist, and in an instant, six more holy corpses appeared in the field. It was simply shocking.

How can you pull out a saint like this? No need to practice at all, just let the corpse communicate with the spirit or the soul enter the body. It's completely unreasonable!

"Let's go. We can't stay here for long. The underworld has gone mad!"

"Quickly retreat, quickly retreat, fight your way out!" "Follow those ancient royal heirs. They all have secret weapons and marks of the ultimate Dao on them, and they are the fastest to open a path."

People were in an uproar and fled, not daring to stay. If the army of the underworld came to kill them, there would be no chance of survival.

A group of ancient royal heirs also attacked fiercely, trying to kill their way out.

Wang Hongwu reunited with the Dragon Girl and Duan De, and continued to break out of the Shenxu. He used the Eight-Nine Profound Arts, and his fists were surrounded by real dragons, Taotie, transformed snakes, divine silkworms and other immortal spirits, crushing them with ease.

With a loud bang, all kinds of immortals roared and soared between heaven and earth like flying fairies. With such powerful punches, he accidentally touched the divine ban and smashed dozens of bone palaces in the underworld with one punch. He rushed out as if he was in an empty place.

The entire area was instantly devastated, hundreds of miles of it reduced to ruins. Mountains collapsed, halls crumbled, and the vast land was engulfed in ash beneath the brilliant rays of the setting sun. "What's going on? The killing power has suddenly increased to this extent!" The group of underworld slaves were horrified. They didn't know how many people had died, and blood was raining everywhere. That guy had swept through everything with just his flesh and blood. Was this still human power? How could they defeat him?
Sacrificial forbidden weapon!
At this moment, Huo Qilin let out a long roar, and suddenly a small scepter imitating the Eternal Blue Gold Staff flew up from the top of his head; a crimson divine hammer also appeared in Huang Xudao's hand, surrounding one phoenix shadow after another; the Golden Goddess and the Dragon Girl also followed suit, and sacrificed the Golden Divine Mace and the Purple Dragon Divine Bell.

Wang Hongwu took out the Immortal-Slaying Gourd and joined forces with them to attack. Five different quasi-imperial weapons exploded with killing power, which could be said to be devastating. Even the overwhelming corpse soldiers of the underworld could not stop it. Tens of thousands of them were killed in an instant. The five-colored shock wave spread far away, covering thousands of miles and could not be stopped at all.

After this, the Saint King of the Underworld sat down cross-legged and began to chant scriptures, as if he wanted to revive some kind of existence. The small world of the entire Underworld node was resonating, and it was unknown what major event was being planned.

Due to the sudden change, large amounts of fog rose up in the ruins of the gods, submerging the place and making it almost invisible.

No one dared to stay and fled out one after another. The changes in the Divine Ruins were too terrible.

"Little dragon man, take this." During the breakout, Duan De wolfed down the food with juice dripping from the corners of his mouth while handing over a divine fruit. He had taken it from the altar during the chaos. It was a divine fruit that all the saints were fighting for, and it contained fragments of the great Dao of heaven and earth.

"You have the skills." Wang Hongwu gave a thumbs up and immediately took the magic fruit. The pink fruit seemed to be carved from pink jade, but it was the size of a fist and shaped like a doll, which was very vivid.

As soon as he swallowed it, the sweet fragrance seeped into his internal organs, moistening every inch of his flesh and blood. It was an irresistible temptation. The crystal clear fruit contained infinite vitality, which made the immortal platform on the towering sky rise again and shine, and his Taoism improved.

They rushed all the way without looking back, leaving the South Heaven Gate behind, using the domain platform to shuttle, carving array patterns, and finally returned to the Western Region after several days.

"It is really as predicted by the ancient emperors and the supreme beings. There have been great changes in this era, and everything is different. If we don't get involved now, there may be no future." In the distance, a three-eyed goddess walked out of the mist, looked at Wang Hongwu's receding back and smiled slightly, holding a jade flute in her hand, she walked out gracefully, and actually left the Shenxu!
With their return, within just three days, the news from the Divine Ruins shook the five regions of Beidou.

Visitors from outside the domain, Huosang Jinwu, Tongtian God Clan, Nanling Sky Demon King, etc. all attracted people's attention, and the Emperor of Gods and the Nine-Layered Coffin of the Gods became the hot topic of discussion.

In particular, the terrifying underworld and the mysterious divine organization also entered the sight of the Beidou tribes, not to mention the appearance of the legendary desolate tower, which simply shocked them. They were all stunned and couldn't believe that the legendary fairy object actually appeared.

Following closely behind, there was news about the forbidden king, Dongfang Taiyi. As expected, he obtained the fragment of the Immortal Cauldron, but what no one expected was that he would ring the bell of the mortal world with his brilliant record of killing saints, and a huge wave swept across the world.

Even though it was a severely injured soul that had lost its physical body, it was still a living saint. He was wiped out by external forces, but the formation and quasi-imperial weapons were still on the Dragon King!

"In just three years, he's grown to this point." The tribe leaders who had once clashed with Wang Hongwu at the Battle of Tongtianling lamented, this Tianlong King has truly become a force to be reckoned with. Once he becomes a saint, who can check and balance him? They shouldn't have been allowed to grow, but there's no way to stop him, and he's soaring into the sky.

"The fact that he got the ancestor's coffin shows that this young man is not simple. His Highness said that he has also successfully cultivated the Divine Silkworm Transformation. It is indeed time to invite him to have a chat." A middle-aged man muttered to himself on Shencan Ridge, sitting on a mulberry tree. His skin was the color of gold and jade, his eyes were like lightning, and he had a kind of majesty. He was the current patriarch.

In the Ancient Emperor Mountain, the eight tribes of gods were silent when they heard the news. One third of the immortal cauldrons had been gathered, and the old members of the ancient heavenly court had reappeared. These changes made them feel uneasy.

Did the gods of the past foresee this scene? What should they do?
Yuan Gu, who was far away in Zhongzhou, heard the news and his eyes lit up with surprise. "How could such a person appear? It's a pity that I have other important matters to attend to and cannot meet him."

Inside the Golden Cave, the Ancestral Kings couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment. "Her Royal Highness has been hit again. She's obsessed with that kid from the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest and keeps gnashing her teeth about him every day. What should we do?"

Although the Golden Goddess had made a breakthrough, she seemed to be a little crazy. She was depressed and couldn't express it, which made everyone in the clan feel helpless.

"Brother, it seems that the day of our cooperation will be brought forward." In the Huo Qilin Cave, a blue light flashed, and a graceful and immortal figure walked out and came behind Huo Qilin. In the ancient cave, purple flames were jumping, Qilin was lying down, and the fragrance of ancient medicine was wafting in the air.

The Ancient Prince and the Ancient Princess, two of the most powerful bloodlines, have joined forces, and their Huolin Cave also has twin stars that are no less powerful than the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest.

"The underworld is a problem. We can't let them leave the Divine Ruins."

Then, the ancestral kings of the major royal families came forward, looking at the ruins of the gods from afar, and were always alert to the appearance of the people from the underworld. They were worried that their royal tombs would be invaded, and even worried that the tombs of the ancient emperors would be found, which would be a shocking change.

Three days later, the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest.

"Has your friend left? He was very enthusiastic about the mausoleum before and wanted to go in and visit it many times." The Dragon Girl looked at Wang Hongwu and asked about Duan De. The unscrupulous Taoist priest left a deep impression on everyone in Dragon Nest. He was so eccentric.

"He is going to the underworld to seek trouble. He said that those guys owed him a lot of things and wanted to collect the debts. God knows when he will be back." Wang Hongwu shook his head. Duan De really came and went like the wind. He left again after coming out of Shenxu and would not stay for long.

Hearing this, the dragon girl narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "It seems that you are leaving too?"

"I am going to find the way to kill the enemy. I don't know how long it will take. This level is too difficult to predict and it's hard to give an exact number." Wang Hongwu nodded. Even he himself couldn't say how long this level would take. There were too many variables.

The Dragon Girl didn't ask any more questions, but simply handed over some cultivation resources and said, "Go ahead. The clan has other arrangements. Maybe I need to lead people to Zhongzhou to participate in the Dao Heart Fruit Festival."

Are you going too? Wang Hongwu was startled when he heard this. Although he was very confident that his Tian Gong would not show any flaws, they had been together for a long time after all. If the Dragon Girl saw any clues, it would be somewhat subtle.

"Yes, the elders of the tribe know that you are returning to your ancestral bloodline, so they specially want to collect Dao Heart Fruits to help you. Originally, we from the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest did not participate, only the Original Lake joined." The ancient princess of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest explained, reaching out to gather her hair, staring at the man in front of her, as if thinking about something.

This is truly unexpected… Wang Hongwu was helpless and said nothing more. He took out the Tianyin Huangji Sutra that his future incarnation had left behind and said, “This is the scripture I obtained in the Imperial Ruins Realm. It was derived from the Wanlong Huangji Sutra and was created by my future incarnation. Although it’s not a particularly powerful technique, it’s enough to leave it in the Dragon Nest for my clansmen to practice.”

He was telling the truth. This scripture took a different approach. For those who practiced the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest Scripture, they could practice both without any flaws. It could even bring great benefits, which could be said to strengthen the strength of the entire clan.

"Qianlun is right. You are a very strict person. You repay kindness with kindness and never hold grudges overnight." The dragon girl was a little surprised to see this, but then she chuckled, gently poked Wang Hongwu's shoulder, and teased, "From now on, they will all have to call you teacher."

Wang Hongwu raised his eyebrows and jokingly said, "Oh? I thought you would be the same."

"I never thought that a guy like you who looks so serious could also be dishonest sometimes?" Suddenly, the dragon girl came close, her beautiful face touching the tip of Wang Hongwu's nose. She opened her jade lips slightly, exhaled hot breath, and whispered in Wang Hongwu's ear, "Teacher Taiyi, how would you like to guide me individually?"

"Hmm?" Wang Hongwu's body trembled. This momentary proactive attitude was completely different from the Dragon Girl's usual cold and detached state, which made him a little overwhelmed.

Seeing him like this, the princess of Wanlong Nest became very proud, as if she had won a battle, with her chin raised and smiling.

"After all, he is still a young man." Wang Hongwu shook his head. It's better to be younger. Who wants to be old-fashioned?
While the weather was still good, the two of them walked together for several hundred miles, and only waved goodbye when the sun set and the sky was filled with red clouds.

Facing the crimson setting sun, he left the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest again and headed west.

When he stood at the edge of the sky and looked back, the purple figure was still standing there, with her hands clasped together praying for him.

Day after day.

"Eastern Wasteland, there have been earthquakes again and again, but I should also return to Zhongzhou. The day of the grand event has arrived, and I am going to be late. This is not good."

Wang Hongwu sighed, then took out the domain platform and stepped into the transmission channel to return to Ziwei Sect.

After the Eastern Wilderness, go to the Central Plains.
