The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 118 The Fifth Incarnation, Chaotic Body (Two-in-One)

In the end, none of them got the result they wanted, even though everything Xu He said was true.

Afterwards, the group worked together to fix the loopholes and reinforce the edge of the universe. Then, they sat cross-legged on the edge of the universe, partly to guard against sudden extraterrestrial gods and demons, and partly so that Xu He could explain the laws of the mortal world to the supreme beings.

This sermon about achieving immortality in the mortal world lasted for three whole months. During this time, celestial music seemed to linger in the desolate wilderness of the universe, and even a supreme being from a forbidden zone mistook it for a sign that the path to immortality had begun, almost leading him to rebirth.

After this sermon concluded, the Azure Emperor, the Celestial Venerable Lingbao, and Duan De each went into seclusion to comprehend the laws of the mortal world and prepare for their next life.

However, the Chaos King Bo was reluctant to leave.

In the end, Xu He said nothing and paid no further attention, simply walking away down the golden road.

He knew that Wang Bo was calculating his chances of winning against him, but he didn't want to actually suffer another defeat.

Just as Xu He had expected, the Chaos Body King Bo stood there for a long time, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at Xu He who was walking away on the golden road. He really did burst out some chaotic energy and really thought about making a move.

But in the end, he chose to give up, perhaps because he felt that now was not the right time.

He returned to his faction and began a long period of seclusion.

Time flies, and another ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The world changes drastically over the past ten thousand years; too many outstanding talents have passed away, and no one has become an emperor in this generation.

Wang Bo's blood energy did not decline over the past ten thousand years; on the contrary, it became even more intense, and his supreme imperial might reached its peak.

With a single thought, mountains and rivers crumble, and heaven and earth shatter.

He can truly "make the people tremble with anger, and bring peace to the world when he lives in tranquility."

Wang Bo, who believed he had reached the pinnacle of his power, called himself the Chaos Emperor, and his might extended to all corners of the world, truly wielding power over all under heaven.

He traveled swiftly to all corners of the world, leaving his mark and establishing his renowned reputation.

Along the way, he saw many people who only respected the Heavenly Emperor, but not the Chaos Emperor.

He didn't say much, but simply walked along the golden road towards the Purple Star Domain and towards the Heavenly Court.

The strong never care about the words of the weak. Since there are people who are not convinced, they will simply prove it to the heavens and the earth.

Wang Bo had previously considered proclaiming himself the Chaos Emperor, but since there was indeed a Heavenly Emperor in the world, he could only take the second place. Today, he went to the Heavenly Court to eliminate the second and retain the first.

Such a flamboyant act naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

That chaotic aura and the dazzling golden path were truly dazzling. It was not just a matter of being ostentatious; when he unleashed his ultimate power, the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths trembled, and people felt his terrifying strength.

"My God, is that an ancient emperor on a journey?" Someone gasped for breath from the oppressive aura and managed to speak.

"The Chaos Emperor? He's going to cause trouble for the Heavenly Emperor?" Some people were also a little uneasy. If the two of them were to fight, it would definitely be a calamity for all living beings. Any one of the divine lights would be something that even a peak Quasi-Emperor could not withstand, let alone a small cultivator.

Within the forbidden zone, many supreme beings were awakened, including figures from the mythological era who had truly witnessed the ultimate divine battle between Wang Bo and that Heavenly Venerable.

Now, they felt that familiar chaotic energy and were terrified.

"It's him? That Chaos Body!" a Supreme Being exclaimed in surprise.

"He actually lived to this life?!" Some supreme beings worried that they would be punished afterward.

However, some supreme beings did not think so, and looked at Wang Bo heading towards the Heavenly Court, saying:

"Great! The Chaos Body has returned against all odds. I actually hope he wreaks havoc in the Heavenly Court, and that he can destroy the Holy Body just like he destroyed a Heavenly Venerable in the mythological era."

Although none of this is very likely...

At the same time, Duan De was awakened from his slumber, the Azure Emperor emerged from his state of enlightenment, and the Celestial Venerable Lingbao ended his seclusion ahead of schedule.

The three of them, acting together and sensing the terrifying power, spoke:
"He was truly at the peak of his power, yet he was so low-key throughout his life. Why would he declare war on the Heavenly Emperor at this time?" The Azure Emperor's words carried a hint of doubt. Regarding the current strength of the Chaos Manifestation, the Azure Emperor was still somewhat unsure, but it was within his grasp. However, the Azure Emperor knew that Wang Bo was no match for the Heavenly Emperor.

Wang Bo must be aware of this as well.

"He wanted to see the difference in skill level." Duan De's round, unkempt face was full of caution.

"He lived out his second life to prove the Dao with his primordial spirit, and then lived out his third life with the elixir of immortality. At this point, each subsequent life was extremely difficult, as I'm sure everyone knows."

As soon as Duan De finished speaking, both of them nodded.

After three lifetimes, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to live another lifetime. If it weren't for the help of the Heavenly Emperor, the two of them would probably have already vanished into the world.

In order to ensure his own longevity, Duan De himself had no choice but to bury himself again and again.

Wang Bo naturally understood the difficulties involved.

In fact, it wasn't just them; Xu He's three and four lifetimes were filled with peril, and he almost passed away.

“He wanted to test the Heavenly Emperor in his most perfect state, to see the difference between himself and the Heavenly Emperor.” Duan De’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Therefore, he was so flamboyant, trying to provoke the Heavenly Emperor’s anger and make him fight with all his might.”

"But the Heavenly Emperor's magnanimity will not harm his life, so Wang Bo can get the result he wants and find a way to live out his next life in the remaining time."

Duan De sighed, feeling a little sorry for Wang Bo, whose physique was unparalleled throughout history, whose combat power was extraordinary, and whose patience was extremely strong.

Everything is standard equipment for the strongest.

Unfortunately, he encountered the Heavenly Emperor. Not only was he outmatched in strength, but Duan De could also see through Duan De's little schemes. How could the Heavenly Emperor not see through them?
Therefore, after a sigh, Duan De turned his gaze to the Heavenly Court, joining the two supreme beings in watching the upcoming ultimate divine war.

This time, the Heavenly Generals wanted to fight again, but Xu He stopped them.

Xu He also stepped into deep space.

The two supreme powers collided at this moment, both being at the pinnacle of the human realm, yet there were differences between them, and the winner was already decided in a short time.

Wang Bo knew this, Xu He knew this, Qingdi Duan De and the others also knew this, and even the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone felt a sinking feeling in his heart at this moment.

But Wang Bo did not back down at all, and resolutely threw a punch at his powerful enemy.

Chaotic immortal light exploded, the void collapsed, the universe shattered, and the nine heavens and ten earths trembled.

However, this powerful strike only stirred up endless dust in the universe. When the gale settled all the dust, everyone suddenly realized that the tall and elegant figure at the center had not been harmed at all. Not even the hem of his clothes was disheveled, and his sleeves were still fluttering.

I remain unmoved.

Then, the Heavenly Emperor threw a punch into the void. Before the wind of the punch even arrived, golden light illuminated the universe and pierced through the eternal blue sky.

Wang Bo roared, trying to break free from that powerful force, but ultimately failed. He was struck by that fist, his body pierced through, torn to pieces, yet still connected.

With only one life remaining, the emperor's majesty was completely lost.

Wang Bo failed.
With just one punch, the idea of ​​eliminating two and retaining one, and leaping from the Great Emperor to the Heavenly Emperor, has been shattered.

Perhaps he knew from the beginning that it was all just a dream.

In the end, he stopped at the edge of the universe, constantly drawing upon the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth to repair himself. After a very long time, he disappeared into the world, completely abandoning the idea of ​​going from one to another, and devoted himself to finding a way to live out his next life.

The war of the gods ended in desolation, and the world returned to its former tranquility.
The Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone remained silent for a long time, seemingly resigned to his fate. The mortal realm was peaceful; for nearly ten thousand years, no immortal path had been opened, as if the mortal and immortal realms were truly forever separated.

Another ten thousand years have passed, and a new emperor has powerfully proven his power, his might extending across the four seas.

In the past, the great emperors who emerged were all hidden in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and no one could truly find them. However, everyone could be certain that none of the previous emperors had been killed by time or passed away, because the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth had not mourned or bid farewell to the deceased emperors during those ten thousand years.

Inside the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, Xu He had been sitting in meditation for ten thousand years.

His lifespan had not yet come to an end; his vitality remained incredibly strong, and his blood energy, if released, would still be as vast as the ocean.

Unlike the few Azure Emperors who were in seclusion seeking survival, Xu He had no such worries.

He felt he had gained enough insight and could enter the next life, because that mysterious feeling was fleeting, and if he did not seize the opportunity, he might never find it again in this life.

He is now holding the Ancient Book of the Sun and the Ancient Book of the Moon.

The two ancient scriptures detached from his hands and swirled around him.

At this moment, the power of Yin and the power of Yang burst forth from the two ancient scriptures, and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth also gave birth to a luminous ball of Yin and Yang colors, like a large cocoon wrapping a butterfly about to be born and spread its wings.

Within the Sea of ​​Bitterness, strange phenomena of the Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram arose, instantly growing countless times larger, enveloping the boundless Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Beneath the Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram, all the immortal herbs that were previously in the Bitter Sea, such as the Qilin, the True Dragon, and the Immortal Phoenix, have now disappeared.

The strange phenomena, such as the Jianmu tree, ginseng fruit, and yellow chrysanthemum that the beautiful mountains and rivers had transformed into, also disappeared at this moment, completely covered by the Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram.

Of the nine extraordinary phenomena, only one remains.

The entire Sea of ​​Bitterness transformed into a Yin-Yang diagram of life and death, filled with the power of Yin and the power of Yang.

Water and fire are incompatible, and so are yin and yang. When the power of yin and the power of yang were infused from outside the body, a fierce collision eventually evolved into an explosion that was rare in the world.

Just as the five elements counteract each other, the clash between the yin and yang energies in the Bitter Sea seems to foreshadow its possible failure.

Xu He knew this clearly, and he had also guessed that perhaps both the Taiyin Emperor and the Taiyang Emperor had taken this path, which was extremely dangerous, and that no emperor in history had ever succeeded completely.

But Xu He believed there was still a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation.

It is true that water and fire are incompatible, and it is also true that the five elements are mutually destructive, but the five elements are also mutually generating.

The old yin gives rise to the young yang, and the old yang gives rise to the young yin. When things reach their extreme, they will reverse. The principle of "when things reach their extreme, they will turn around" also applies here.

At this moment, Xu He raised his hands, absorbing the power of Yin with one hand and the power of Yang with the other. The Yin and Yang energies were drawn together, and his hands moved continuously, forming hand seals and gesturing.

Within its sea of ​​suffering, the yin-yang fish appears at this time, swimming freely in the sea of ​​suffering.

The yin fish is pure black, and the yang fish is pure white.

However, yin generates yang, and yang generates yin.

At this moment, Xu He used his hands to draw the eyes of the yin-yang fish, making the two yin-yang fish fully formed, and they roamed in the yin-yang life and death diagram of the sea of ​​suffering.

I don't know how much time passed, nor how many times the two circled the sea of ​​suffering.

The originally distinct forces of Yin and Yang merged at this moment, like a basin of ink being suddenly poured into a large white dye vat.

"boom!"

A tremendous tremor shook the heavens and the earth.

An indescribable chaotic energy arose at this moment, and in an instant it spread throughout the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, shrouding the high heavens, astonishing countless people.

"What the hell happened?"

"Chaotic Qi? Could it be the Chaotic Emperor who challenged the Heavenly Emperor unsuccessfully ten thousand years ago?"

"Could it be that he has defied the heavens and returned?"

Countless people were astonished and began to speculate about the origin of the chaotic energy.

The Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone was also awakened at this moment, pondering silently. However, all of this happened in the blink of an eye. Although they were awakened when the loud tremor occurred, they still could not detect the source of the chaotic energy.

"It must be that so-called Chaos Emperor." A Supreme Being sensed the chaotic energy and sighed after a long while, "He has become so strong, which confirms that it is him. Although he failed ten thousand years ago, he was still a Quasi-Emperor at the eighth level who replaced the Heavenly Venerable..."

Another Supreme Being chuckled, "Do you think this Chaos Body will fight against the Heavenly Court in this lifetime? I feel that the Chaos Body's strength has undergone a qualitative leap, making me feel like I'm facing the Holy Body."

Several supreme figures conversed, expressing their age-old resentment.

Of course, some people cautiously raised questions, because a strange feeling lingered in their minds.

"That Chaos Body was extremely low-key, but now the Chaos Qi fills the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Why does it feel a bit like the demeanor of a Holy Body?"

His conjecture was reasonable and well-founded. All the supreme beings also recalled the standard configuration of the Holy Body, which was to release blood and qi as if it were a disease, filling the entire universe, as if afraid that others would not see it.

Even the most powerful beings felt a chill run down their spines, but still managed a cold snort:
"What? From what you're saying, the source of that chaotic energy is the Holy Body?"

He frowned, his voice rose considerably, but his tone remained icy cold:
"Why don't you say that the Holy Body severed its origin and transformed into a Chaos Body?"

The conversation ended unhappily, but the "pleasure" they felt had vanished, and they were even somewhat apprehensive.

But throughout the ages, there has never been anything that has transformed into a true chaotic entity.

Although the Ruthless Great Emperor once transformed into a flawed chaotic body, his aura was never this outrageous, and his chaotic energy was never this flawless.

"If it's not Wang Bo, could it be a newly emerged Chaos Being?" a Supreme Being asked.

But before anyone could argue or agree, another huge tremor was heard.

"boom!"

The heavens and earth trembled once more, and an aged figure flew out, walking incredulously into the deep space, sensing the incomparably familiar chaotic energy.

"God!"

A roar of resentment and disbelief rang out, and only then did everyone notice the figure in the deep sky.

He was Wang Bo, a chaotic being in his twilight years. At this moment, his eyes were wide open as he looked at the Ziwei Star Region, his eyes filled with disbelief.

This roar swept across the four seas and eight wastelands, and spread throughout the nine heavens and ten earths.

All the supreme beings naturally heard it as well, and they were terrified, not daring to even think about it.

A chaotic entity appeared, but it looked like someone in their twilight years, and was not the source of this chaotic energy at all.

And that roar just now...

The Supreme Being spoke with difficulty and despair:
"Could it be... could it be that the Holy Body is truly about to set a precedent that has never been set before?"
