The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 128 Nine Lifetimes to Immortality! (4K)

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

A quasi-emperor at the peak of the Heavenly Court has attained enlightenment, triggering an unparalleled heavenly tribulation. Everyone knows that the Heavenly Court will take a major action sometime soon, and this is just the beginning.

Xu He did not undergo a transformative leap at this moment. Before that, he first came to the desolate forbidden land.

This place once brought countless unknowns and surprises to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but now Xu He is calm and composed. He is confident that even if he were to engage in a peak battle with the Ruthless Great Emperor right now, he would still be able to win.

However, Xu He's visit this time was not for the so-called "eliminating two and keeping one," but to fulfill his promise.

He entered the depths of the desolate and forbidden land as if walking on flat ground, and a mysterious mirror flew out from his palm, displaying images on it.

As the scene unfolded, the once empty eyes of the Ruthless Great Emperor gradually regained their luster, revealing an unbelievable disbelief never seen before.

The person in the picture is driving a BMW to a classmate reunion.

During the event, the handsome, short-haired protagonist was ridiculed by his classmates, but his attitude changed drastically when the BMW appeared after the party.

The man in the picture is Ye Fan. Just like at the beginning of the story, the difference is that this time Ye Fan did not go to Mount Tai as the plot suggested, nor did the miracle of nine dragons pulling a coffin occur.

He simply lived an ordinary life, waking up in his mansion every day and traveling the world in his BMW.

"Unfortunately, it wasn't him." The surprise in the ruthless man's eyes eventually turned into regret and disappointment.

Although the man in the picture looks very similar to his brother, perhaps it really is just a similar flower with only one thing in common.

"If the Empress poured all your past experiences with your brother into his consciousness, it might be possible for them to reappear. Who knows, it might even be him?" Xu He joked from the side.

The ruthless man snorted and rolled his eyes at him.

"What? You find it interesting?"

Xu He quickly waved his hand: "I didn't mean anything by it. Actually, you know that you're just waiting here and won't get the final result."

Xu He knew that the person the Ruthless Great Emperor was actually waiting for was not Ye Fan, because Ye Fan did not believe in past lives or future lives, nor in fate or reincarnation.

What the Ruthless Great Emperor was waiting for was someone who would personally come to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and stand in front of her to say the words "sister".

And this person, she has been waiting for for hundreds of thousands of years.

"So what?" The ruthless man's voice was devoid of emotion.

"Come fight your way to the Immortal Realm with me," Xu He said sincerely.

The current situation is not optimistic. Xu He may be able to overcome the threats of the Emperor and the Undying Emperor, but the threat from the Strange Clan is simply too great.

Even powerful figures like Ye Fan, Ruthless Man, and the Wu Shi trio have been driven to the brink of despair.

It is unrealistic for Xu He to try to sweep through the enemy on his own. At least for now, if even a single Immortal King from the Strange Clan came, no one would be able to defeat them.

The Ruthless Great Emperor is also a peak Mortal Immortal, and later he will become an unparalleled sacrificial Dao expert, definitely a force that can be united.

"Besides, I said I would help you find your brother. You searched desperately in the mortal realm without success, but there might still be a glimmer of hope in the immortal realm," Xu He said with a smile. "Don't you want to keep an eye on things?"

The ruthless woman's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Xu He, sensing a change in him.

Previously, when he came to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, he was mostly cautious. Even when he appeared calm, it was only a forced composure. Ruthless people knew that Xu He still had a bit of wariness towards them deep down.

This is human nature; if we were in each other's shoes, she would do the same.

But this time, Xu He's attitude was completely different.

True composure, a genuine letting down of guard, even the ability to make fun of oneself.

"When did you learn to speak like this? Is this the result of your Great Dream of Eternity?" The Ruthless Emperor said, but he knew in his heart that this must be the reason why Xu He's strength had increased.

Honestly, when I met Xu He this time, I could really feel the pressure he exuded.

This not only indicates that the two are at the same level, but also implies that Xu He is even more powerful than the Ruthless Great Emperor.

"Back then, you were just a minor cultivator. Without the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, you wouldn't have been able to leave the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land alive. But in just a few hundred years, you have already surpassed the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body." The ruthless man began to reminisce about the past, sighing sincerely.

From that time on, the Ruthless Great Emperor only regarded Xu He as an ordinary Great Emperor.

They are simply quite powerful, but that's about it; after all, there have been other exceptional talents in the past.

Later, when she decided to take action because she didn't want to see Xu He die tragically first, she saw Xu He, with the combat power of a Great Emperor at its peak, forcefully injure the Undying Heavenly Empress. At that moment, her feelings began to change.

This led some ruthless individuals to wonder if Xu He's future achievements might surpass their own.
But now, Ruthless can be certain that, in terms of strength alone, she no longer has an advantage.

"Who would have thought that a mere cultivator could grow into a towering tree in such a short time? I might even have to look up to him." The Ruthless Great Emperor chuckled.

"Then I will accompany you to venture into the Immortal Realm." In the end, only these words were uttered.

Wearing the mask, Xu He didn't know what kind of emotions the Ruthless Emperor was feeling, but Xu He was certain that one day in the future, the Ruthless Emperor would take off that bronze mask that seemed to be both crying and laughing.

Finally, Xu He only gave a rough time before leaving.

After that, everyone began preparations.

This applies to quasi-emperors, emperors, and even supreme beings within forbidden zones.

Xu He walked along the golden road to the five-colored altar next to the Heavenly Court.

There are still three heroic spirits here who refused to die.

Xu He used his faith as an anchor, the elixir of immortality as a material, and the collective will of all living beings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, ultimately enabling Gai Jiuyou, the Great Accomplished Holy Body, and the Prince of Taiyin to achieve the feat of defying the heavens and returning home.

Without further ado, the three of them began their exploration of becoming emperor.

Gai Jiuyou felt his body and his peak strength, and felt a strange sense of awe.

The fact that the Great Dao is no longer suppressing things means that no one in future generations will wait idly like him.

"What a simple and wonderful era it was for Emperor Cheng!"

As soon as Gai Jiuyou finished speaking, he instantly became an emperor.

The Heavenly Court of the Ziwei Star Region has once again experienced a great calamity leading to the Emperor's ascension, and this time it is even more intense than before.

Countless people were filled with fear. If this person succeeded, then the Heavenly Court would have three emperors from one family. This lineup was truly unique throughout history, even surpassing the former Jade Pool.

Gai Jiuyou finally succeeded in transcending the tribulation, and countless people looked on with envy at the new emperor. A few insiders were also pleased with the ancient emperor's attainment of enlightenment.

No regrets.

A century has passed, and the three—the Prince of Taiyin, Xu Chang'an, and Jiang Taixu—have all successfully attained enlightenment.

The Heavenly Court's six supreme beings from one lineage are truly astonishing throughout the ages.

It should be understood that in this era of spiritual energy revival, a force that has six sages in charge is already a major force.

The fact that the Heavenly Court has six supreme beings in one family is truly unimaginable.

Of course, many more people praised him, saying that the son of the Taiyin Emperor had the style of the Taiyin Emperor, that Xu Chang'an had the spirit of the Taiyang Emperor, and that Jiang Taixu had the appearance of the Hengyu Emperor.

Five hundred years have passed, and Jiang Lu, the former Demon Emperor, has once again attained enlightenment.

He once again reigned supreme over the four seas and eight wastelands, and his memories were restored.

He attained enlightenment twice, both times through his own efforts, which demonstrates his unparalleled strength and terrifying potential.

Many insiders showed expressions of fear at this moment, after all, they did not have the confidence to say that they could attain enlightenment twice.

Even the ruthless Great Emperor of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land nodded slightly to this Demon Emperor upon his emergence. Seven supreme beings from one family—countless people marveled at this, but only Xu He knew that the Demon Emperor was merely returning to his original position among the Ten Fiends of his ancestors.

Even though her Kunpeng bloodline wasn't pure, Xu He believed he had the ability to restore her ancestors' glory.

But all of this will take time, until we reach the Immortal Realm.

Before he could ascend to the Immortal Realm, he needed to take that step in a proper way.

He entered a long period of seclusion, and the accumulation of countless years and the erosion of time have left him in a state where age has not taken hold of him.

His physical body became increasingly crystalline, with thick black hair and an incredibly imposing physique. He appeared to be only in his early twenties, yet he possessed an endless worldly air about him.

This worldly essence is something that even the most powerful emperors and supreme beings in the outside world might only be able to accumulate a fraction of over ten thousand years, and it could even drive them mad.

But here, Xu He's worldly aura is extremely strong.

"Come on, let's truly leap over the dragon gate."

As the energy within his body and the surrounding mortal energy formed a violent vortex, Xu He's eyes flickered slightly.

This time, he severed the origin of the Chaos Body, removing it as mercilessly as separating flesh and blood.

The primordial chaos wailed and pleaded, wanting to return to Xu He's body. For a moment, Xu He felt a pang of pity, but in the end, he sighed softly, "We are separated for now, but we will meet again someday."

Xu He's body gradually faded into a mortal form, like a finely carved jade turning back into an uncarved bluestone.

The value of a rough jade may not be comparable to that of a fine jade, but its infinite possibilities are the source of excitement for countless jade gamblers.

Transform into a mortal body and embrace the vast天地 (heaven and earth).

At this moment, he looked like an ordinary mortal.

If other great emperors and ancient rulers were like sharp knives, then Xu He at this moment was a divine sword hidden in its sheath.

An overwhelmingly powerful divine might spread, permeating the nine heavens and ten earths, and even strange spaces.

It was enough to make anyone who heard of it turn pale.

That is an immortal, an immortal who has become an immortal in the mortal world.

Those who become emperors in the mortal world are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, while those who become immortals are as rare as a needle in a haystack.

The ninth incarnation has been achieved.

A mere mortal, an ordinary immortal in the mortal world.

Xu He wasn't excited; he simply examined his own body.

Finally, after a meticulous search, a trace of the innate sacred body's Dao embryo origin, which was almost impossible to detect, and the Chaos Body's origin were revealed.

They are still trembling, unwilling to leave.

Xu He ultimately couldn't bring himself to be ruthless. In the game "Immortal Three: Severing the Dao," who has truly severed everything? Even if a person severs everything, they won't turn into another animal.

What was cut off was nothing more than shackles.

Today, the land is wide, and the road ahead is clear.

This is the perfect time to attack the upper realm.

"So much time has passed, those who could become emperors have already done so, and for those who couldn't, I'll just have to give them a push from behind," Xu He sighed softly.

Then, a boundless aura of blood shone throughout the universe, and a golden road was paved, leading Xu He step by step to the very center of the universe.

He beckoned, summoning a host of celestial generals.

These divine generals, without exception, are all unparalleled figures who have existed for nearly two hundred thousand years, and are known to people to varying degrees. At this moment, they are awaiting the Heavenly Emperor's command.

"Show your trump cards and protect your primordial spirits, and I will help you become emperors," Xu He said softly, without wasting any words.

He had given many people time to explore and prove their own path. After all, relying on their own efforts to prove their path, compared to Xu He's macroscopic mass production, meant that their strength was far inferior.

Prior to this, among the supreme beings throughout the ages of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, if they happened to be born during the favorable period before the Chaotic Ancient Era, roughly 60% of them could become immortals, or even immortal kings.

After all, they were figures who had fought their way up over thousands of years, one after another, until they had wiped out all their opponents and stood tall in the heavens.

Now, the probability of these mass-produced emperors achieving immortality is less than 10%.

Xu He told them all this truthfully, and none of the generals complained. They all accepted it willingly, and some were even excited.

After all, under normal circumstances, they would not be able to achieve the status of an emperor, but now they have a glimmer of hope and can live on in the world after entering the Immortal Realm.

Some people even cheerfully told Xu He that they believed that by following the Heavenly Emperor, they would definitely be able to become immortals in the future.

Xu He remained silent for a moment.

Relaxation and merriment were fleeting moments; the unprecedented multi-person calamity had finally arrived.

Xu He stood atop the ninth heaven, his finger sweeping across the sky, shattering the most vast thunderbolts.

During the tribulations of the emperors, the power of the lightning tribulations increased exponentially. If Xu He hadn't intervened, many of them probably wouldn't have survived.

The thunder rolling down from the sky distorted space, but Xu He stabilized the heavens and earth with one hand and extinguished the lightning tribulation with the other, still standing tall in the world.

Only a small amount of lightning struck the emperors, but that was enough for them to complete their imperial tribulations.

A very long time passed, and finally, on a night when everyone was watching, a night when eyes were on the entire world, several great emperors were born, emerging simultaneously from the tribulation of lightning, shaking the eternal heavens.

Everyone knows that an era of unparalleled brilliance has arrived, one that has never existed before and will never exist again.

The thunderous roar seemed to be cheering for this magnificent feat.

Brilliant and dazzling, Xu He raised his hand and waved the Heavenly Court's banner.

Subsequently, several great emperors appeared from all over the universe. Among them were celestial venerables from the mythological era, ancient emperors from the primordial era, supreme beings from the ancient era, and the eternal blue sky lotus from the post-ancient era.

But the Heavenly Court faction had an even larger number of members.

The Emperor's presence was overwhelming, exuding an aura of authority without anger. The mere release of his imperial might shook the entire universe.

"Has this day finally come?" someone exclaimed excitedly. Becoming an immortal was his lifelong dream.

And now, it is also the dream of every emperor present.

This dream will be realized today with the help of the Heavenly Emperor!
"Generals of the Heavenly Court, though I charge in!" Xu He raised his hand, tearing open the path to immortality and blasting open a barrier.

The emperors moved at the sound of the news, and in an instant, the Tribulation Transcending Immortal Melody played again, but this time it was quite different. It seemed to be telling the story of countless ages, and also to explain the eternal regrets of the supreme beings of the forbidden zones.

The flute music suddenly soared, like the fighting spirit of everyone present.

"Fight in!"

"Today, I will have my wish fulfilled! To become an immortal! To become an immortal! To become an immortal!"

One supreme being after another shouted as they charged into the path to immortality, searching for that broken spatial barrier.

The heavens and earth trembled; the commotion was so immense and powerful that it was truly unprecedented in history.

As the war song resounded, countless emperors fell one after another.

Ascend the heavenly path, sing as you go, and with a flick of your finger you can blot out the sky!
