The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 140 If Kou can go, so can I! (4K)

Xu He's figure disappeared, or rather, was obscured by the radiance.

Before the Rat Immortal King, only a blinding and scorching light shone.

"Fist light?"

The Rat Immortal King tried to dodge, but even traversing countless spaces, the fist light seemed to lock onto its target, aiming to kill it even as it crossed the starry sea.

With just one punch, half of the Rat Immortal King's body was wiped out.

It was completely erased, leaving not even the slightest trace of its eerie darkness.

That was a Celestial King! Was he really going to be erased like this?
Everyone was horrified; the current Heavenly Emperor was truly incredibly powerful.

"Damn it..." the Rat Immortal King cursed, intending to escape, but the golden light shimmering before his eyes appeared again.

"Your mother!"

With that punch, the world fell silent.
Only the sound of the cosmic winds blowing tells of desolation and sorrow.

And the sounds of countless people swallowing, their Adam's apples bobbing, echoed through the air.

The Rat Immortal King screamed in agony, his shrill voice shaking the universe. After two punches, only his head remained!
Now he is merely clinging to life, the destructive power of the Emperor's Fist still consuming his lifespan.

It is foreseeable that it will soon perish.

"Why, why!" the Rat Immortal King roared mournfully, "I am the Immortal King! The true Immortal King!"

"I am an immortal king whose physical body is immortal and whose primordial spirit is indestructible!"

"Why should I trample you under my feet, you're just an ant in the True Immortal Realm! Why are you so powerful! I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!"

"You're just a mortal immortal, you should just obediently die!!!"

The rat fairy king's mournful cry shook the heavens, and countless people felt as if it were a dream.

Meanwhile, the other eerie immortal king on the scene was completely stunned.

In the blink of an eye, everything happened in the blink of an eye. In the time it takes to breathe, two punches killed a Celestial King-level expert.
This...this is clearly a fantasy.

If the Lion King heard this at any time, he would simply laugh it off.

But now, it has really happened, and it happened right next to me. What's even more ironic is that I couldn't muster even a shred of fighting spirit just now.

He stood frozen in place, his only thought being to escape.

"I said I'd use your head as a sacrifice to the flag." Xu He stretched out his hand, his gaze sweeping over the Milky Way, obscuring the sky and the sun.

He grabbed the head and threw it like a ball into the Immortal Realm, right in front of several mortal immortals.

This is truly a once-in-a-millennium event. In the past, the Immortal Realm was afraid of being eroded and polluted, so even Immortal Kings were not allowed to enter or leave.

But now... the Immortal Realm has undergone a complete transformation and has long since changed hands.

However, even if the former Celestial King were still alive, he would probably find it difficult to reprimand Xu He for his current actions.

"Is it because of that woman?" The Rat Immortal King was unable to reshape his body and rolled around like a ball, feeling extremely humiliated.

At this moment, he understood why Xu He was targeting him alone.

Why was that overwhelming killing intent locked onto him from beginning to end?

The reason is all because of this woman wearing a bronze mask!

Just now, I hurt her!
“His Immortal King body has been broken; he’s just a rat now.” Xu He’s gentle voice reached the ears of several mortal immortals.

All of them understood that this was a message to the Ruthless Great Emperor that the fate of the Rat Immortal King was in her hands.

The ruthless man's eyes flickered slightly, and without the slightest hesitation, he drew his sword and slashed.

Black blood splattered everywhere, and the Rat Immortal King died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

The eerie, dark aura was only revealed for a moment before a radiant, holy power completely purified it.

"You're next," Xu He's cold voice rang out.

The next moment, he flashed to the face of the Lion King and threw a punch straight at his altar.

The two quickly clashed, unleashing bursts of divine light, their boundless pressure like a dome, enveloping the surrounding area.

As this battle began, cultivators from the Three Realms gathered in response, all raising their swords against the enemy before them.

Lingbao Tianzun sat within the Zhuxian Sword Formation, fighting alone against six strange and powerful immortals.

The strange immortals who had been isolated from the outside world finally met their match at this moment.

Not long ago, he relied on his realm to dominate the Supreme Emperor, but now, suppressed by his realm, the four Mortal Immortals joined forces and quickly killed him.

The battle below is quite clear, almost entirely one-sided.

The addition of the Four Immortals to the battlefield has already brought the power to turn the tide of the war.

Endless radiance shone down, purifying the world.

Meanwhile, the outcome has already been decided above.

Xu He stomped on the eerie Immortal King, looking down upon the world with domineering power that nearly shattered the eerie Immortal King's bones.

"Where are you from?" Xu He asked.

Now, he desperately wants to figure out whether the bizarre army before him comes from the future or is truly detached from the heavens, constantly reaping rewards.

"Speaking out might lead to death, but not speaking out is worse than death."

Xu He's voice was like a death knell. At first, the eerie immortal king wanted to curse, but after Xu He's precise control of the force and a few punches, he finally lost his temper.

The other party remained defiant, so Xu He simply spoke slowly:
"I can feel the breath of time flowing through you."

It carries an incredibly heavy sense of time, which most people cannot perceive; they can only feel its profound depth.

Xu He's words, however, caused a huge uproar when they reached the ears of the eerie Immortal King.

The River of Time is a realm that only Immortal Kings can tread upon, and only Immortal Kings can be touched by its aura.

"How do you know? Logically speaking, your strength is far from sufficient to set foot there!" The eerie Immortal King spat out a mouthful of blood and asked in horror.

The rumor from later generations kept growing bigger and deeper in his mind.

灾！
This feeling is especially strong after witnessing Xu He's feat of defeating a Celestial King with just two punches while only at the level of a Mortal Immortal.

"Is it so hard to step into the river of time?" Xu He smiled disdainfully, then continued, "You strange creatures haven't seen enough..."

"Have you not heard that those at the Supreme Realm question the heavens and create the River of Time?"

Xu He recalled the carefree Celestial Venerable he had beheaded when he became Emperor, and still felt somewhat emotional.

"Don't you know that even at the Great Emperor realm, I was already being swept away by the eternal torrents of time within the River of Time?"

These few words almost shattered the Dao heart of this strange Immortal King.

How could an ant at the level of an emperor possibly navigate the long river of time?
How could someone at the Great Emperor realm stand firm in the long river of time, enduring the torrents of eternity without perishing?
He didn't want to believe it, but the strength of the person before him and the rumors from later generations forced him to believe it.

"Calamity...you really are calamity!" the eerie immortal king roared in despair.

"Calamity?" Xu He was taken aback, and leaned closer to the eerie Immortal King beneath his feet, asking, "In later generations, would you call me a calamity?"

The mysterious Immortal King remained silent, unwilling to reveal even the slightest bit of information about this powerful enemy.

"Interesting. So you're afraid too?" Xu He chuckled, already having received a positive answer: "Then all six of you who came from below the River of Time are like this, right?" Xu He integrated the information from when the two strange Immortal Kings appeared.

Of the six people, three were held back while going against the current, one was killed by the law of causality, and only two survived to reach this point.

Then everything becomes clear: the person who held back the three strange immortal kings was either a fellow player from the future or Ye Fan.

The one who was struck down by the law of causality may have had bigger ambitions, wanting to make a move when he had just risen to power, but because the current timeline is currently in Xu He's Red Dust Immortal realm.

Everything is already set in stone, and therefore cannot be changed.

"Have your memories been damaged?" Xu He looked at the strange Immortal King beneath his feet and said, "For example, is the only thought that comes to mind to erase my detailed information?"

The Lion King was initially stunned and confused, but his eyes quickly narrowed.

He had just recalled and searched his mind for information, but the result was a complete mess.

Regarding Xu He, it seems there are only two pieces of information: "the disaster of later generations" and "nipped in the bud".

The Lion King looked at Xu He in horror, for Xu He had indeed been right.

My memory has truly been damaged, not forgotten, because such a thing could not happen at the Immortal King realm.

"How...how did you know?" The Lion King's voice trembled slightly as he asked.

Xu He narrowed his eyes slightly, piecing together the information to come up with a highly probable reason.

The Immortal King realm can alter the course of history on a small scale, but it cannot modify ancient history on a large scale, as doing so would only lead to chaos in both realms.

The six mysterious Immortal Kings who have come to this point in the future, or rather the forces behind them, also know that they cannot change the established facts.

So we need to try a concept.

The concept of Xu He's predetermined eternal existence has been misinterpreted as a calamity.

A disaster that can be reversed.

This may not be able to truly reverse the situation, but it can reduce the impact to some extent. At the very least, it can allow the six Celestial Kings to fight in peace and face death in peace.

However, because this is a fait accompli, it is certain that someone in future generations will step forward.

Even if that person isn't Ye Fan, it would be someone else.

This only proves one thing: in later generations, Xu He's existence became an unchangeable fact, and those who wanted to reverse all of this were not as powerful as Xu He.

They cannot reach the point of deepening cause and effect, or rather, they are unwilling to bear the burden of cause and effect.

"It seems that I, in my later years, am truly invincible in the world," Xu He said, his hands behind his back.

"In that case, I can go all out and get things done."

Xu He smiled with his head down, but to the eerie Immortal King, it was incredibly sinister and terrifying. For a moment, he couldn't tell who was the eerie one and who was the darkness.

"What are you going to do?" the eerie immortal king exclaimed in fear.

Xu He's eyes flashed with cold light, piercing through the eternal blue sky. His aura surged instantly, and the immortal light emanating from his body startled the universe.

"Since you can cross the river of time to cause chaos, why can't I cross the river of time to change history?" Xu He said coldly.

"The enemy can go, so can I!"

He is currently at the pinnacle of immortality, surpassing the weaker level of the Ten Fiends to a certain extent, reaching the level of an ordinary Immortal King.

Even ordinary immortal kings couldn't do anything to him.

This level of strength is enough to stand the test of time.

This was also a decision Xu He made after careful consideration. He couldn't remain in a passive position any longer; he had to take the initiative.

Xu He's determination was as bold as his spirit, and it resonated out in an instant, shaking the heavens and earth for eternity. The long river of time paused briefly at this moment, as if it had sensed something was wrong.

"Madman...you really are a madman...going against the flow of time, without the Immortal King realm, you will only die a terrible death!" The eerie Immortal King still refused to believe this fact.

"Trying to change the past? You can't bear the consequences of that."

Xu He sneered: "What is there to fear about cause and effect? ​​All causes and effects will fall upon me!"

"Does your clan have any supreme Immortal Kings or Immortal Emperors? Why did you only send a few of you? Are you afraid of getting entangled in this karma with me?"

"Then let's see who can bear this karma better!"

As soon as Xu He finished speaking, he stomped his foot, and with immense force, pierced through the eerie Immortal King. A moment later, the king showed no further struggle.

Only immortal blood flew everywhere.

"A myriad of causes and effects have befallen me... Calamity..." Before his death, the eerie Immortal King finally recalled his sealed memories: "So that's how it is... So that's how it is..."

"We wanted to correct your course, but we never expected... that we would indirectly push you to correct history..."

"This isn't a natural disaster...it's a man-made one!"

The eerie Immortal King died with his eyes wide open, his gaze fixed on Xu He's retreating figure.

The reviser of history, the guardian of causality, the butcher who roams the myriad realms, the greatest calamity in history.

No adjective in the world can adequately describe that calamity.

"I regret it... Why didn't I send more people?"

Even on his deathbed, he was still pondering and regretting.

He recalled that the commander-in-chief of all these actions seemed to be called something like... Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor?
He couldn't remember the commander-in-chief clearly, only that he had come to surrender.

Could it be related to him?

This doubt lingered in his mind, but he had no more lifespan to ponder it. Thus, another Immortal King perished, his body and soul annihilated.

Only a few True Immortals and Supreme Beings remained of the strange army.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu He raised his hand and let the light fall.

Enveloping the three realms, wherever the light passes, evil spirits vanish.

This battle has finally come to an end.

After several months of repairs, everything in the world has largely returned to normal.

In this battle, approximately twenty supreme beings from the Three Realms perished, nearly a quarter of their population was lost, making it a tremendous loss.

After leaving behind many treasures and elixirs of immortality for the world, Xu He decided to depart.

"Are you really going to go against the flow of time?" As Xu He was about to leave, Wu Shi and the others appeared, trying to persuade him to stay.

All of them had some understanding of it and knew that it was extremely dangerous; one wrong move and they could get lost there.

Xu He nodded affirmatively: "I can sense that future generations will also need my help. Going against the tide and changing some things may be able to help everyone."

"You want to resurrect the former Immortal King?" Duan De quickly guessed Xu He's purpose.

"The Celestial King can only change history on a small scale, but what you are about to do has too great a causal relationship and is already a fait accompli that cannot be changed at all. You will really die. Even if you change it, the course of history will be changed, and people like you and me will never exist!"

Duan De's tone was somewhat urgent:

"This is a pure paradox, and it cannot be changed at all!"

Xu He shook his head, only uttering a vague statement:
"There are no regrets on the sacrificial ceremony."
