The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 104 Confrontation
The five-colored heavenly blade cleaved through the sky, heading straight for Xu He.

This space was torn apart, even the Heavenly Palace was broken open, and the Purple Star was split in two. The nine heavens and ten earths trembled violently, and countless living beings looked up at the starry sky at this moment.

A scream was heard, and Xu He's body was cut in half at the waist.

The Emperor's blood also fell at this moment, adding a touch of tragic loneliness to the starry sky.

The five-colored celestial blade returned to its original place, within a crack in the starry sky, where a large, jade-white hand tightly gripped the Undying Celestial Blade.

With an indomitable belief in his eyes, he stepped out of the void and once again reigned supreme over the heavens and the earth.

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the space where Xu He had been cut in half at the waist.

Everyone feared that Xu He would perish, but suddenly, immortal flames ignited on Xu He's body, along with his imperial blood.

Before long, it vanished into nothingness. As everyone was astonished, a majestic figure tore through the void and strode over.

The man's vitality was somewhat withered, his hair was all white, but he was still handsome and still looked down on everyone.

"Immortal Emperor, you've finally emerged." Xu He was on high alert, not daring to relax for a moment.

He had searched for the Immortal Emperor for tens of thousands of years, hoping to take advantage of his Nirvana to eliminate the threat ahead of time, but in the end he found nothing.

Now, the Immortal Emperor has returned from Nirvana and has truly become a mortal immortal.

"What? That person is the Immortal Emperor!" someone outside exclaimed.

"The Immortal Emperor, a figure from the mythological era, has he lived to this life? Could he have really become an immortal?" Someone swallowed hard.

Within the super forbidden zone, ancient beings from the mythical era and the Primordial Era are staring intently at the Undying Emperor.

They had all actually seen the Immortal Emperor and knew just how powerful he was.

However, they truly never imagined that such a person would live to this life, and judging from his condition, he was not only a peak emperor, but had even gone a step further and truly become an immortal.

"Has he become an immortal?" A supreme being's expression was uncertain. This celestial being was more senior than the Undying Emperor, but while his junior had become an immortal in a carefree manner, he himself was stuck in an ancient mine. He was extremely unwilling and felt very unbalanced.

"The Immortal Emperor has become an immortal, but what about Wushi?" The ancient emperor looked strange, filled with deep confusion: "It seems that no one has ever witnessed Wushi's life or death."

"Could he still be alive? Or is the current Holy Body truly the beginningless and the eternal?"

Their astonishment was understandable, as it was utterly unbelievable.

The Immortal Emperor was a figure from the end of the Mythical Era. He was invited by the Emperor to join the Heavenly Court and was even once regarded as the Emperor's successor. However, he eventually raised an army to counterattack the Heavenly Court.

It can be said that the Immortal Emperor played an extremely important role in the script of ending the Emperor's reign.

Later, this person attained enlightenment at the end of the mythological era. Instead of following the titles of the nine Heavenly Venerables of the mythological era, he called himself the Heavenly Emperor, and all races revered him as the Immortal Heavenly Emperor.

The true founders of the Primordial Era are all referred to as Ancient Emperors by later supreme rulers.

Things didn't change until the Ancient Era.

From any perspective, the Immortal Emperor was an unparalleled figure, and now he has truly become a mortal immortal.

Facing a peak-level immortal in the mortal realm would be difficult for anyone.

The Undying Emperor, with a relaxed expression, stroked the Undying Heavenly Blade, and spoke with a hint of regret:
"What a pity...you are not the one who played chess with me on the ancient star Yinghuo for two thousand years."

The Immortal Emperor's cold gaze swept over Xu He, and he said in a cold voice:
"We share the same lineage, but unfortunately you are merely a slightly stronger Great Emperor." Now that he has become an immortal, he looks down upon the world and has the power to speak such words to anyone.

He was just a little disappointed. Having just been reborn, he only wanted to fight that person, but he never expected that this person was not the same as the one he had met before.

The person mentioned was the one who truly made the Immortal Emperor extremely wary. During his lifetime, his methods of hiding in the world were completely exposed, and he ultimately fought against him for two thousand years on the ancient star of Mars.

In the end, both of them exhausted their means. The Immortal Emperor had no choice but to undergo Nirvana, while the Great Emperor Wushi was also nearing the end of his lifespan.

However, what the Immortal Emperor did not know was that when Wushi was nearing the end of his life, he entered a strange space to prolong his lifespan.

"Immortal Emperor! You old dog, you're still alive!" Chuan Ying, wielding a stone staff, shattered the divine source, and in the next moment, he stepped into the void, charging forward with unparalleled supreme imperial might.

This strike carried the rage that had lingered since the mythical era. The destruction of the Heavenly Court had been a thorn in Chuanying's side for millions of years. Many great enemies had fallen, but none had been slain by him.

Now, facing the Immortal Emperor, he truly gave it his all.

This attack truly reached the level of a Great Emperor, and even a Great Emperor of this era could not withstand it head-on.

However, the Undying Emperor was far too powerful. He was not just a near-immortal, but a true immortal in the mortal world. He was truly invincible. With just a cold glance, Chuan Ying felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His body could no longer move forward even a fraction, and he remained frozen in the starry sky.

"It's you, Chuan Ying." The Immortal Emperor confirmed Chuan Ying's true identity from his baby face.

Although the two were enemies, they had both been groomed by the Emperor as his successors long ago, so they were very familiar with each other.

"I really miss the days when we were in Heaven, and there was also the Emperor..."

"Old dog! How dare you mention the Heavenly Court and the Emperor!" Chuan Ying forcibly broke free from his stunned state and cursed loudly, even though this action caused him to vomit blood.

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Emperor's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he looked at Chuan Ying with a hint of mockery and said:
"After all these years, you're still such a useless piece of trash."

Perhaps the anger that Chuan Ying, a weakling, displays in his eyes is merely a catalyst for his amusement.

"You're so loyal to the Emperor? But didn't you just come from the New Heavenly Court?" The Undying Emperor's face held a hint of teasing.

"So he's a double-servant..."

Then, the Immortal Emperor casually slapped Chuan Ying away, giving him no chance to argue. Chuan Ying crashed through countless star fields before finally stopping at the edge of the universe.

Although he stopped, Chuanying's body was almost torn to pieces at this moment, covered in blood, and even the stone stick that was always with him was broken into several pieces.

This attack nearly killed Chuan Ying. Such power caused the supreme beings within the forbidden zone to gasp in astonishment, confirming in their hearts that the Undying Emperor had truly become an immortal.

Furthermore, they were also considering whether they could withstand that attack if they faced the Immortal Emperor.

An unparalleled power suddenly spread throughout the entire heavens and earth, and on the edge of the universe, Chuan Ying's shattered body suddenly flashed with golden light.

As if time were reversed, his body was gradually repaired and perfected, eventually returning to its former peak state, and even the stone stick that had been broken into several pieces was restored to its original state.

Everyone looked toward the culprit behind this mutation.

The Immortal Emperor also raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly at this moment:

"You, whose time is drawing near, still have the energy to help others?"
