The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 105 A Ruthless Man Makes His Move
The Immortal Emperor was absolutely right. Xu He has not yet become an immortal, yet his actions just now almost cured a being of the level of a contemporary emperor. Such supreme power must have come at a heavy price.

"It only cost me a little of my lifespan, not much. I still have enough left to fight you." Xu He's blood energy was depleted, but his domineering aura remained undiminished.

This is his invincible attitude, even when facing a true immortal.

Just as he dared to throw himself into the battlefield and quell the darkness and turmoil before he attained enlightenment, he will not retreat now.

Xu He didn't say much, but summoned the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Sword with one hand. The supreme imperial might burned on the hilt of the sword, and immortal light swirled around it, truly unleashing a terrifying power.

Although he was not as powerful as the Emperor who could not die, he was far superior to all the other emperors.

"It has truly transformed into a celestial weapon." The Undying Emperor remained arrogant, somewhat surprised, but that was all.

What truly struck him as special was the aura of the phoenix emanating from the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Sword, which bore a striking resemblance to his own and even made him feel that it was extraordinary.

"To be able to forge a true immortal weapon with the strength of an emperor, you should be proud enough." After saying this, the Undying Emperor swung the Undying Heavenly Blade and slashed at Xu He.

In an instant, the void was split into two parts by the blade, and the Undying Heavenly Blade went away with the sharpest blade light of its life.

The Undying Heavenly Blade, once a supreme imperial weapon, has now become a true immortal artifact.

It had long harbored resentment towards Xu He, and had been shattered several times by those peerless Emperor Fists. If it hadn't been special enough and had the Emperor's backup plan, it probably would have really perished.

"boom!"

The ultimate sound of swords clashing reverberated out, spreading throughout the heavens and the earth in an instant, and all living beings heard that sharp roar at that moment.

The Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Sword clashed with it, and each clash shattered a section of the starry sky, each sword aura exploding into a fragment of the universe.

The Immortal Emperor remained confident; with each step, he traversed a starry sky, each step a universe.

Immortal fire ignited around him, then burned the heavens, and several beams of immortal light descended. The pressure of the immortal realm erupted at this moment, and countless living beings around him screamed in agony.

The golden light of the fist illuminated the universe at this moment, shattering the fire domain forged by the Undying Emperor in an instant.

Xu He and the Undying Emperor eventually engaged in a supreme battle. This battle was too terrifying and too dazzling. Every impact shattered the starry sky, and no one could truly observe the battle.

Even the supreme ruler of the restricted area cannot do it.

Only the most intense flames and golden blood energy permeated the heavens and the earth.

In this battle, although all living beings in the heavens and earth hoped that the Heavenly Emperor could recreate the immortal myth, countless people felt a sinking feeling in their hearts when facing a true immortal. In a daze, they could really predict the outcome, and many people dared not continue to think about it.

"Show me what else you've got," the Undying Emperor said arrogantly, though the contempt in his eyes had completely vanished.

He had been observing Xu He's strength. The extremely dense spiritual power of all living beings surrounding Xu He indicated that he was an extremely powerful emperor.

During their exchange, he sensed Xu He's formidable strength; among the supreme beings of all ages, there were truly few who could rival him.

But that's all. He appeared in Xu He's later years, already determined to eliminate him and prevent him from continuing to grow.

Upon hearing this, Xu He waved his hand, and in an instant, four supreme imperial weapons appeared in the void.

Then, the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram appeared.
This is not a Dao diagram, but rather a place where heaven and earth are used as a Dao field, with four supreme Dao imperial weapons entering and unleashing sword light capable of slaying peak Great Emperors.

This is Lingbao Tianzun's Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram, but now in Xu He's hands, it has been further improved, and some flaws have been truly made up.

"Oh? Lingbao Tianzun's Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram?" The Undying Emperor raised an eyebrow slightly. As a figure from the mythological era, he naturally knew that Lingbao Tianzun had slain an immortal who had turned into a corpse.

In the past, he might have paid attention, but at this moment he didn't care at all, until... a sword aura actually cut off a strand of his hair.

Xu He stepped in and unleashed his Emperor Fist with overwhelming force, traversing countless star rivers and illuminating the universe in an instant. Although his fist technique was not yet up to the level of a True Immortal, it was already far beyond that of a Human Supreme.

This attack seemed to truly span the past and present, traversing the long river of history, and struck the Immortal Emperor. It was the first time the attack had hit the Immortal Emperor, sending him flying.

"What are you trying to prove?" Xu He, having exhausted all his strength, revealed a cold smile:

"If you were truly invincible, why would you have hidden from me for tens of thousands of years, afraid to show your face in the world?"

"If you were truly invincible, would you have needed to launch a sneak attack on me in my later years across three lifetimes?"

Xu He unleashed another earth-shattering attack, illuminating the entire universe. He was already in his twilight years, and such an act would undoubtedly greatly shorten his remaining lifespan, but he didn't care. He simply let his resounding voice echo throughout the myriad realms:
"If you and I were in the same realm, how could you possibly be a match for me in ten rounds!"

The Undying Emperor quickly regained his footing. Although he did not vomit blood or suffer serious injuries, the peerless fist light had indeed struck him and injured him.

He was still pondering whether Xu He, as a three-generation emperor, possessed combat power that was perhaps too heaven-defying.

At least in my three lifetimes, I would not have possessed such extraordinary combat power.

But every single sentence Xu He uttered was a slap in the face to all the heavens and myriad worlds!

The Immortal Emperor was furious. The Great Emperor could not be insulted, let alone a mortal immortal.

At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else and actually flew into battle with Xu He.

The two clashed, and a true battle of gods erupted.

In this battle, the Undying Emperor was surprised to find that while he could easily shatter the Great Emperor with a single blow, he needed to make several consecutive attacks to blast Xu He to pieces.

Even after Xu He's body is shattered, a certain part of the Emperor's Blood will ignite, reforming into a human form to attack him again.

"The Nirvana Technique of my Celestial Phoenix Clan?" The Undying Emperor's pupils constricted sharply, and he roared, "Where did you steal this from, you brat!"

Xu He did not answer, but instead rose from the ashes once more.

His rebirth has slowed down, and each rebirth is extremely taxing. By now, his lifespan is truly running out; he is almost at the point of exhaustion.

The Immortal Emperor did not give it a chance and once again unleashed divine light.

Xu He tried his best to circulate his blood and qi, but it was still a little slow.

Just as the celestial light was about to pierce through Xu He, a Kunpeng, whose size was unknown, suddenly descended upon the battlefield.

She exuded an extremely powerful aura, reaching its peak, yet she was still pierced through by this attack. After a screech, the Kunpeng's body cracked.

This attack was extremely powerful, almost shattering his very foundation.

In the end, the demon emperor could no longer support his body and transformed into the appearance of a young girl.

Xu He is still there, unable to attend to the Demon Emperor, but the immortal light of the Undying Emperor arrives again.

At the critical moment, an astonishing divine light erupted from the desolate forbidden land, truly shattering it.

Everyone looked back with tears in their eyes, but only a few knew the truth.

The Lord of the Wilderness has made his move.
