The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 101 Covering the Sky with a Flick of the Finger
Several figures walked towards the sky, revealing the supreme imperial might, standing in stark contrast to the God-Slaying Emperor.

This is nothing less than a declaration to the world that even if the Heavenly Emperor is not in Heaven, Heaven still stands in the mortal realm, and even the current emperor cannot act recklessly.

The God-Slaying Emperor's face was extremely gloomy; he had never imagined that the Heavenly Court's foundation was so profound.

Now, these people stand before him without any fear, which is also a blow to the supreme dignity of the emperor!

The God-Slaying Emperor narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Heavenly Court generals before him who showed no fear and not even the slightest intention to retreat.

He desperately wanted to fight back and display the supreme majesty of an emperor, but the people in front of him were truly extremely strong. In fact, some of them gave him the feeling that they were not much different from a flawless emperor.

He knew that if a battle of ultimate gods really broke out, he would most likely win, but he would also pay a heavy price, possibly bleeding or even being seriously injured.

but,

The emperor cannot shed blood.

Moreover, he was facing a group of cultivators who were inferior to him.

The God-Slaying Emperor knew very well that if he shed blood in this battle, his prestige would be greatly affected. Although he would still be able to suppress the heavens and the earth, there would always be a mark in people's hearts.

Historians would also record this event.

The God-Slaying Insect Clan may also face fierce retaliation.

That supreme golden body, forged by the majesty of the emperor, must never be broken.

Finally, a golden light shone brightly across the heavens and earth, covering everyone's vision, and no one could see this scene clearly.

Both sides backed down, the Heavenly Generals returned to Heaven and continued to seal themselves off, the God-Slaying Emperor departed, and the overwhelming imperial might no longer press down on the starry sky.

A temporary peace was achieved.

Both sides knew that this situation would eventually come to an end.

The God-Slaying Emperor returned to his ancestral land and chose to go into seclusion. He did not know whether the Heavenly Emperor had perished, and only had a rough guess. Therefore, he was waiting for the day when the Heavenly Emperor would completely perish.

Besides, he was still holding on, firmly believing that it was impossible for all the generals of the Heavenly Court to have declared themselves in power; there would definitely be someone to back them up.

What he needs to do is, firstly, wait for his own peak, and secondly, outlive the generals of the Heavenly Court.

The idea of ​​the God-Slaying Emperor was not wrong. For thousands of years afterward, there were always divine generals in the Heavenly Court, and the court did not declare itself in power.

He could also sense that the divine generals were gradually aging. In addition, he truly comprehended the Great Dao several times, trying to find a trace of the Heavenly Emperor, but ultimately returned empty-handed.

Six thousand years passed, and the God-Slaying Emperor was now in his twilight years. With no other options, he finally took an unnamed elixir of immortality, lived a second life, and once again reigned supreme over the heavens and the earth.

A thousand years have passed in this life. The God-Slaying Emperor has continuously honed his body, tempering it to its most unparalleled state in this lifetime. For a long time, his blood energy filled the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Everyone knew that the God-Slaying Emperor had truly entered his peak state.

At the height of his power, the God-Slaying Emperor made a crucial decision: he would take control of the Heavenly Court.

This is news that will astound the world. Everyone knows that the last time the God-Slaying Emperor went to the Heavenly Court, the outcome of which is unknown to the world.

This time, however, he clearly told the world that he was going to take over the Heavenly Court.

This is undoubtedly a provocation against the Heavenly Emperor and a true declaration of sovereignty over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Everyone is waiting for this ultimate battle of gods.

The golden road stretched from the ancestral land of the God-Slaying Insects all the way to the Heavenly Court. A majestic figure, radiant with light, slowly approached, each step encompassing a star field and each footstep a cosmic expanse. The God-Slaying Emperor had truly arrived; he had been searching for Xu He's whereabouts for millennia.

The final result was that he knew nothing; even someone as powerful as him could not detect even the slightest trace of Xu He's aura.

He had calculated the time more than once, and the Heavenly Emperor had been missing for nearly 30,000 years. Not only the God-Slaying Emperor, but all the spirits of the universe believed that the Heavenly Emperor had truly passed away.

Only the supreme ruler within the restricted area remained calm.

But the God-Slaying Emperor couldn't wait any longer. The fate of the Heavenly Emperor was unknown, which constantly affected his supreme authority. Moreover, he had already lived a second life and had to consider the method of immortality.

The God-Slaying Emperor knew that there were many treasures within the Heavenly Court, including immortal elixirs. Although they were useless to him, he believed that there must be a method or treasure within the Heavenly Court that would allow him to advance further.

This time, the God-Slaying Emperor was truly well-prepared, arriving with an air of unparalleled arrogance.

Even the God-Slaying Insects within the ancestral land migrated en masse, surging towards the Ziwei Starfield like a golden ocean.

"The Heavenly Emperor has truly passed away, and even the divine generals are old beyond recognition." The God-Slaying Emperor sneered, and then said, "I am the Great Emperor of this era, and I shall rule the world and encompass the universe."

"However, I respect the late Emperor and may build a temple and erect a stele for the Heavenly Emperor. You may also change your allegiance and become divine generals under my command."

The God-Slaying Emperor looked at the group of Heavenly Court generals and spoke.

They appear to be acting as juniors, but in reality, they are eyeing the Heavenly Court's wealth.

Chuan Ying stepped forward again, carrying a stone club and sneering, "You? You dare to call yourself invincible?"

At this moment, a group of peak-level Quasi-Emperors also stepped forward, roaring in unison, unwilling to submit.

Since its establishment, the Heavenly Court has represented supreme authority, and even if a great emperor arrives with an imperial weapon, it will not change this outcome.

The God-Slaying Emperor was not surprised by any of this. His boundless blood energy erupted, and he spoke with an air of utter disdain for the mortal realm:
"I gave you a chance last time."

Last time, he was still somewhat hesitant, worried that the group of quasi-emperors on the other side would cause him to bleed, thus damaging his own reputation.

But this time, he had reached the pinnacle, and most of the Heavenly Generals were old. Looking around the world, he could truly be called invincible and undefeated.

And so, the God-Slaying Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, looking down upon the mortal world through his nostrils, and with the loudest voice of his life, he resounded throughout the universe:

"I am the Great Emperor, and I shall slay all enemies in this world!"

Many people were stunned upon hearing this. They never expected the God-Slaying Emperor to say such a thing. Looking back on the God-Slaying Emperor's path to enlightenment, he had laid out the Golden Path, surveyed the universe, and illuminated the starry sky with his golden blood energy. And now he was saying this.

Everything seemed to be deliberately imitating the Heavenly Emperor, in order to prove its own invincibility.

Although some people scoffed and others despised him, his strength was indeed unmatched. His supreme imperial might swept across the world, sending a group of Heavenly Court generals flying.

With an air of unparalleled arrogance, he slowly walked towards the Heavenly Court.

Just as one foot was about to step into the Southern Heavenly Gate
Suddenly, a giant hand appeared in the universe, seemingly a mockery from the heavens to the supreme being of humanity, descending with unparalleled pressure.

The God-Slaying Emperor's expression changed drastically as he looked at the giant hand. He tried to fly away, but was controlled by the oppressive force and could not move an inch.

Finally, the hand of heaven descended and embedded it into the earth.

Then, the hand of heaven lifted it up and flicked it away with a finger, as if it were a mosquito.

Cover the sky with a snap of your fingers!
