The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 102 May I ask the Heavenly Emperor, are there immortals?
"Heavenly Emperor!" The God-Slaying Emperor coughed up golden blood, his pupils filled with shock.

He originally thought that the Heavenly Emperor had really passed away, but he never expected that he was still alive and immortal!
He also believed that even if the Heavenly Emperor were alive, he could still fight him. But just now, that person simply waved his hand and sent him flying to the edge of the universe.

He has never even revealed his true form to the world.

At this moment, the entire universe was in an uproar, and all living beings in the nine heavens and ten earths trembled in shock.

The Heavenly Emperor is still alive! He has not yet passed away!

"Does the Heavenly Emperor really intend to exist forever?" A sense of fear rose in some people's hearts. Such a thing was unprecedented and was truly too terrifying.

"Has the Heavenly Emperor truly become an immortal?" Someone swallowed hard, looking towards the Ziwei Star Region, hoping that the Heavenly Emperor would once again reign supreme.

Some people have unspeakable admiration for the Heavenly Emperor, who still looks down on the human world with compassion, sitting high in the nine heavens, and no one can change him, not even the most powerful emperor who has ascended to the top.

"I knew it, I knew it!" A Supreme Being in the Forbidden Zone snorted coldly, filled with deep dissatisfaction.

The God-Slaying Emperor struggled to his feet, doing his utmost to repair his body, and looked towards the Purple Star Region.

At this moment, he truly felt a fear from the depths of his soul, like a beast encountering its natural enemy; the hairs on his body stood on end.

Before he became emperor, he only thought of the Heavenly Emperor as a slightly more powerful emperor.

After becoming emperor, he believed that the Heavenly Emperor was indeed extremely powerful, but not invincible.

It wasn't until they fought that he truly realized that the Heavenly Emperor was an insurmountable mountain.

Finally, amidst the anticipation of countless people and the gaze of hundreds of millions of holy spirits, a figure emerged from the Heavenly Court.

With long, flowing hair and eyes as cold as lightning, her sharply defined face conveyed no emotion, yet it exuded an undeniable air of dominance.

His body was strong and powerful, even glowing with a faint luster, like a finely carved piece of jade.

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor unleashed an astonishing burst of blood energy, truly illuminating the nine heavens and ten earths. This was not a crude imitation like that of the God-Slaying Emperor, but a genuine radiance.

A majestic golden avenue, exuding supreme power, was laid out.

The Heavenly Emperor came from the other end of the sky.

The God-Slaying Emperor's eyelids twitched violently, and his hair stood on end. He even considered fleeing, disregarding his supreme imperial dignity.

But he was unable to struggle at all; his entire body seemed to be fixed in place, and he could only watch helplessly as the Heavenly Emperor arrived.

"Heavenly Emperor!" The God-Slaying Insect gritted its teeth and spoke despite the oppressive aura. As an emperor, it longed to hold its head high, but at this moment it had no choice but to lower its proud head.

In his presence, she couldn't muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

"The God-Slaying Insect became an emperor, which can be considered a unique advantage and an unparalleled strength." Xu He examined the God-Slaying Emperor and commented silently.

But these words, especially the phrase "unparalleled in strength," sounded like the most terrifying mockery in the world to the God-Slaying Emperor.

"I am unwilling to start a bloodbath. Considering that you did not cause chaos during your reign, regardless of whether you have a benevolent heart, I am willing to spare your life," Xu He said calmly.

An opponent at the level of an emperor is someone that no supreme being can ignore, but Xu He no longer cares.

He has the confidence and the ability to annihilate all enemies in the world.

The first time an opponent sees you is the only time you have a chance of winning.

As for whether the God-Slaying Emperor will cause chaos, Xu He has the ability to suppress him with one hand.

"There may be gods and demons existing beyond this realm. You will guard this place, which can be considered a sacrifice for all living beings. People will never forget you." Xu He spoke again. He knew that this God-Slaying Emperor was determined to collect the thoughts of all living beings, so he often patrolled the universe.

However, its effect was barely better than nothing.

Ultimately, without contributing anything to the world, one naturally lacks the motivation to serve sentient beings.

Now, Xu He can be considered to have pointed out the direction for him.

The God-Slaying Emperor's expression was unpredictable, and he remained silent for a long time.

Before departing, the Heavenly Emperor repelled the dense, golden ocean of God-Slaying Insects back to his ancestral land. He also used his supreme power to repair the starry sky torn apart by the God-Slaying Emperor's might and heal the wounds of the divine swords.

Finally, he disappeared into the world, leaving countless people in a daze. If it weren't for the fact that the God-Slaying Emperor was still guarding the edge of the universe, they would have really thought that what had just happened was a dream.

A famous saying has been passed down through the ages:
"After sparring with the Heavenly Emperor, the God-Slaying Emperor respectfully obeyed the Heavenly Emperor's decree and guarded the edge of the universe." There are also other versions of the legend:

"After the God-Slaying Emperor sparred with the Heavenly Emperor, he respectfully followed the Heavenly Emperor's instructions and went to the desolate edge of the Bitter Sea Universe."

What happened in the world is unknown to others, but since that battle, the God-Slaying Emperor has never left the edge of the universe again.

Ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye, and the God-Slaying Emperor truly entered his twilight years.

His vitality was no longer vigorous, his hair was dry and brittle, and his life essence was constantly draining away.

It looks just like an old lion.

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the Ziwei Star Region, his expression shifting between light and shadow.

Now, he really doesn't have many years left to live. He has already lived a second life after taking the elixir of immortality, and taking it again now would be useless.

Despite enduring countless hardships in this life, he still cannot find a way to live out his third life.

The God-Slaying Emperor did not want to die; he wanted to live on forever and become an immortal, but this life was beyond his reach.

Long ago, he had an idea that he could just barely survive.

Now, he is ready to put his words into action.

I will cut myself off, leaving the path to immortality to begin.

A hint of self-mockery flashed in the eyes of the God-Slaying Emperor. Although he was bloodthirsty, he was, after all, a supreme emperor with his own pride.

He may admit that he is inferior to the Heavenly Emperor, but for a long time before, he really looked down on the supreme beings in the forbidden zone.

Now that his lifespan is nearing its end, he will truly meet the same fate as most supreme beings.

"How ironic... I... am ultimately not the special one..." A trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes.

He thought of the Heavenly Emperor, who lived three lifetimes and had an incredibly long lifespan.

It can blot out the sky with a flick of its finger, yet it does not sever itself, and it continues to exist in the world.

"Perhaps he is the special one." Just as the God-Slaying Emperor was about to make a move, he suddenly sighed.

"You've come." The God-Slaying Emperor lowered his eyes, sensing the person behind him.

The Heavenly Emperor has arrived. Ten thousand years have passed, yet he has not perished. In fact, his blood and energy remain vigorous and boundless.

"If you want to commit suicide, I can help you cut yourself more thoroughly," Xu He said coldly.

The God-Slaying Emperor sighed, giving up resistance and unwilling to struggle in his death throes. He simply lay on the ground like a mischievous child, seemingly accepting his fate: "Heavenly Emperor, all the people have been talking about your lifespan and strength, as well as the many secrets you know. I wonder if the Heavenly Emperor can answer my questions?"

Xu He nodded slightly.

"May I ask the Heavenly Emperor, are there any immortals?" asked the God-Slaying Emperor.

"Yes, and the Immortal Realm truly exists," Xu He replied.

The God-Slaying Emperor lowered his eyes, his body shrouded in deathly aura, truly on the verge of annihilation. He sighed deeply, "I only regret that I wasn't born in the Immortal Realm... Someone like me is extremely rare even in the Immortal Realm, isn't he?"

Xu He nodded silently. If we look at the current shattered Immortal Realm, the God-Slaying Emperor is indeed a rare powerhouse.

Moreover, the emperors who emerged from the battles of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are of exceptionally high quality.

"That's right. If you were born in the Immortal Realm, you might have a chance to become an immortal."

Of course, without fighting in such a harsh environment as the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, one might not necessarily become an emperor.

"Any last words?" Xu He asked, looking at the deathly aura surrounding the God-Slaying Emperor.

"It's nothing... It's useless even if it were..." The God-Slaying Emperor shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Then I'll trouble the Heavenly Emperor to take a look at the Immortal Realm for me. If there's an opportunity, let the people of the Immortal Realm witness the divine might of the cultivators of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, would that be alright?"

Having said all this, the God-Slaying Emperor truly transcended mortality and vanished completely.
