The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 142 Ye Tiandi Arrives Riding the Cauldron
The primordial energy of all things, which had collapsed from the eternal blue sky, arrived first, attracting everyone's attention. Countless hopeful eyes looked down into the river of time, where a majestic figure stepped onto the cauldron and came!

He was tall and slender, with his long black hair casually draped over his shoulders, swaying in the wind.

He was just a lone figure, standing beneath the long river of time, awe-inspiring like a thousand troops.

At this moment, he wielded the Emperor's Fist, and the unparalleled light of his fist swept across the past, present, and future, stirring up the long river of time. His figure will surely be engraved in the eternal blue sky.

The overwhelming blood energy engulfed the universe, and the supreme Emperor's Fist was also unleashed, instantly radiating billions of rays of light.

The myriad universes appeared dim under the light of the fist. This fist, which illuminated all the heavens and myriad worlds, finally struck the Crimson King's fist wind, not only neutralizing it but also continuously approaching the alien army!

The heavens are in turmoil, and the river of time is churning with monstrous waves!
That unparalleled punch, though only its residual force, actually wounded an immortal king!
Who exactly is this person?
Everyone shared this question, whether they were immortal kings from other realms, immortals from the mortal world, or old people and children; they all shared the same curiosity.

The difference is that some people are terrified, while others are delighted.

"Just who is this person?!" an Immortal King from the alien faction exclaimed in surprise.

Even those as powerful as them, who had cultivated for countless ages, had never seen such a ruthless person.

The Crimson King was a leading figure in the foreign land, yet he was at a disadvantage in their fierce punches.

The Crimson King's face was grim, and he was also shocked.

After eleven simulations, he felt he had found the right timeline, so he launched a powerful attack, even bringing his true form.

But this time, they miscalculated about those who would come from later generations.

"Friend, who are you?" the Crimson King asked, while his other hand restlessly urged the Crimson King Furnace.

Being prepared to refine this world at any time, even if it would cause immense karma and make me lose my advantage in the Great Cleansing, is still better than being defeated and sunk here.

"Me?" The peerless man shifted his posture from having his back to all beings, turned around, and smiled:

"You may call me Emperor."

"I could throw that punch three more times, anyone want to try?"

The man had a smile on his face, but he was incredibly cunning. If it were a first meeting, it would be quite difficult to tell his true nature.

However, when the Crimson King and the other immortal kings saw the face of the person standing on the cauldron, they were all shocked.

Someone looked at Xu He, repeatedly confirming, and then spoke:

"Your future self has arrived?"

This is nothing short of a fantasy. Even if you said it out loud, none of the Immortal Kings themselves would believe it. But the reason they made this misjudgment is precisely because the two look so alike!
Even the few immortals below were taken aback.

The man who arrived riding on the cauldron bore a striking resemblance to Xu He, at least seven or eight parts.

“Another person who looks similar… Could he also be someone who came into contact with the Three-Life Coffin?” Duan De murmured. He had now seen three such people.

They are Shi Hao, Xu He, and Ye Fan, and sometimes he feels a little dazed.

"In later generations... surely no one in later generations would come into contact with the Three Generations Bronze Coffin?"

Many people fell into deep thought at this moment.

"I'm a bit late. I was held back by three insects downstream in the river of time," the long-haired man said casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone could see that the cauldron beneath the imposing man's feet was stained with a lot of blood, and three powerful auras of Immortal Kings emanated from it, completely purifying the original darkness and eeriness.

It seems that when the strange army descended earlier, the two strange immortal kings mentioned that three people were held back; it was this person who killed them.

Xu He, however, looked at Ye Fan below the River of Time and smiled:
"Emperor Ye, it's been a long time..." Xu He suddenly asked a question:
"May I ask, Emperor Ye, how many times have we met?"

He still remembers that during the Great Dream of Eternity, he looked up at Ye Fan from afar, and Ye Fan also saw him and said that this was not the first time he had met Xu He.

Ye Fan's appearance now further confirms Xu He's conjecture that this is the ancient history he was meant to reveal.

I just don't know how many times Ye Fan and I have met.

"It seems you know something, fellow Daoist," Emperor Ye said with a smile. "This is our fourth meeting."

"This strange realm... I suppose you must have taken that step."

The fourth meeting...

Xu He narrowed his eyes slightly. So the last time they met during the Chaotic Ancient Era should have been the third time.

In other words, there were two other instances before this.

This aligns with his previous assumption that he encountered Ye Fan twice on his journey to change history.

“It seems the idea was correct.” Xu He nodded silently, then said to Ye Fan, “I will fight An Lan alone. I will trouble you to hold off the other Immortal Kings for me.”

As soon as she finished speaking, An Lan's face turned angry, and her long hair stood on end.

What Xu He just said was a great humiliation for him.

How dare a subordinate challenge the Immortal King?

The king must not be insulted!

"Arrogant! You'll be the only one to die in this battle!"

An Lan, holding a gun in his left hand and a shield in his right, immediately charged forward to attack.

"Fellow Daoist, just focus on fighting. With me here, they won't be able to cause any trouble," Ye Fan said with a faint smile, extremely confident in himself.

Xu He showed no hesitation and unleashed his Emperor Fist in return.

The two men's arrogant words thoroughly enraged the group of Immortal Kings. The remaining people all glared angrily at Ye Fan, and some Immortal Kings even wanted to take action and kill Ye Fan on the spot.

But the Red King managed to stop him.

"Don't get into a fight with him!" the Crimson King sneered, his eyes icy and his face extremely gloomy.

He was trying hard to restrain himself and prevent his anger from escalating.

"We are currently in the River of Time, where the forces of the past, present, and future are all gathered. If we fight, the River of Time will reverse its flow, causing the heavens and the earth to collapse and become irreparable!"

The Red King continued:
"Don't forget we're going to attack the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths! Losing troops now isn't worth it."

Everyone understood the warning in that last sentence.

The group of immortal kings snorted coldly, all filled with resentment.

They had already sensed danger from the Red King's words.

It's not worth the loss of soldiers and generals.

As the leader of the foreign lands, the Red King's words clearly stated his stance: if war breaks out, some of us will die, but he will not.

"Sigh, if you don't come, I won't come either." Ye Fan said quite easily, "Can't we just let him do what he wants? If you make a move and I make a move, it will only make both of us tired."

"But... I don't care."

Ye Fan glanced at the Crimson King, and spoke with a hint of warning:
"You can also try contacting those people to see if they come first or if we come first."

The Crimson King snorted coldly and silently put away the Crimson King Furnace.

The other realm does indeed hold a great secret: behind it lie several truly supreme beings.

Even someone as tyrannical as him had to make offerings in exchange for incomplete scriptures.

Just now, seeing that he could not suppress the other party, the Crimson King originally intended to inform those officials, but he did not expect that the powerful figures of later generations would see through his plan.

Judging from his tone, it seems that there will be a supreme power in later generations to restrain him.
Seeing that the other party had put away his ulterior motives, Ye Fan stopped paying attention to the few alien kings and turned his attention to the battle between Xu He and An Lan.

More accurately, the focus was on Xu He. He was extremely curious about this cultivator who looked similar to himself and had also come into contact with the Three Incarnations Coffin.

Why would someone at the Great Emperor realm appear in the River of Time?
What's going on with this strange state of being now?

Like a mortal immortal, his strength is already far superior to that of an ordinary immortal king.

Recalling his two previous encounters with Xu He, Ye Fan pondered for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.

"Now it's completely hard to understand why you, who are currently locked in a fierce battle with the Immortal King, suddenly rose to prominence and were later called a calamity by the Strange Clan..." Ye Fan murmured, looking at Xu He, who was in a tense situation with An Lan.

……

The dam of the long river of time was breached.

The raging river flowed down like a torrent.

An Lan silently put away the spear that had been used to destroy the dam and continued to watch Xu He warily.

Just now, he hurled his golden spear with the combat power of a peak Immortal King. In the past, let alone a True Immortal cultivator, even an Immortal King would have been severely injured by this attack.

But Xu He easily dodged it.

Without the slightest hesitation, An Lan's figure disappeared from the spot, the river water surged, and waves crashed and churned.

The next moment, a powerful and immortal king, wielding a long spear, struck Xu He directly in the face.

The golden spear shone with a dazzling light, brilliant yet blinding, as if countless wronged souls were howling and wailing on it.

It swept away with unparalleled force.

Everyone thought this blow would pierce Xu He's chest and destroy his spine.

At that very moment, Xu He stretched out his left hand and forcefully caught the spear. The invincible golden spear was now suspended in front of Xu He's chest, unable to advance even an inch further.

Although the spears stopped moving forward, the power of the two men continued to rise and surge out at the same time!

The surrounding river water churned under this powerful force.

The overwhelming pressure was so powerful that it almost caused the entire heavens and earth to collapse.

Wherever its oppressive aura passed, all living beings trembled.

Even Great Emperors and True Immortals cannot avoid it; only those of the same realm or Mortal Immortals can barely resist it.

All beings marveled at the Heavenly Emperor's power, while also fearing the Immortal King's tyranny.

The two fought fiercely, and this battle also shocked many immortal kings.

At this moment, the arrogance they once had in their eyes when they looked at Xu He was completely gone, replaced only by fear.

They were already at the level of Immortal Kings. If the other party were a Celestial King, how could they not sense it?

However, judging from the aura and power it exudes, it is a peculiar true immortal.

However, his strength is extraordinary, allowing him to fight to a standstill with an Immortal King-level powerhouse.

“No wonder we all had to come out together… This kid is truly a prodigy.” An immortal king spoke up at this moment, his eyes no longer showing any contempt.

The Red King has also changed his opinion on the decision to send them to ambush and kill Xu He.

He even wanted to join the battlefield right then and there.

It must be nipped in the bud.

After all, the feud has already been formed today, and it is destined to be a fight to the death. If we do not kill him in advance, it is still unknown who will be in our hands when he reaches the Immortal King realm in the future.

Thinking this through, he finally sighed and gave up.

Because he sensed a burning gaze coming from the lower reaches of the river of time.

Ye Fan's eyes were filled with disdain.

Despite their arrogance and rudeness, none of the immortal kings dared to make a move against them.

Just who is this person...?

Everyone had only one thought on their minds.

Whether they are beings from the nine heavens and ten earths, or immortal kings from other realms.

The two remained locked in a standoff. Even someone as powerful as Xu He had to admit that the immortal king from another realm was of higher quality than the strange immortal king that had appeared not long ago.

But it's also possible that An Lan is special in her own way.

Although this person's prestige is even higher than that of the Immortal Emperor, throughout history, very few people have ever said that he is weak.

Xu He threw a punch fiercely, and the starry sky exploded in an instant. Golden blood energy filled the entire universe, and the peerless fist light swept across everything with unparalleled momentum.

Initially, An Lan intended to resist head-on to demonstrate the strength of the Immortal King's body.

But gradually, as the dazzling light of the fist approached, An Lan's skin broke out in goosebumps, a sensation of burning and stinging spreading from her skin to her nerves.

I became alert.

Ultimately, at the very moment the fist was about to strike, his body made a choice faster than his brain.

His body flashed, traversing the boundless galaxy, to dodge the punch.

"boom!"

The Emperor's Fist slammed into the dam of the River of Time, almost causing it to collapse, and the river water surged at that moment.

"Oh no! The River of Time is about to erupt in chaos!"

If the river of time were to erupt into chaos, everyone present would risk being killed without a burial place.

All the immortal kings had grim expressions; their mission was to kill Xu He.

But now, the killing attempt failed, and even though one of the Immortal Kings attacked, he couldn't take him down. In addition, one of the remaining Immortal Kings appeared and held them back.

Isn't that... a tremendous disgrace?

Having failed to achieve their goal, they are now suffering a great humiliation?
Such an event has never occurred in countless millennia. It couldn't happen in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, nor in the Immortal Realm. But now, having encountered two people who look extremely alike, are we destined to be utterly defeated?
An immortal king began to ponder whether everything he had done that day was worthwhile.

But after thinking it over and over, I still couldn't shake the feeling that it wasn't right.

An immortal king, representing the face of a foreign land, bullied the weak, but not only failed to kill him, he also failed to gain the upper hand in the battle.

If this gets out, the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will probably laugh their heads off.

"Why are you running?" Xu He swung his fist again, causing golden light to shine across the eternal blue sky.

"Are you so afraid of dying at my hands?"

It was sarcastic and domineering; anyone could sense the condescending intent emanating from it.

The immortal kings from the foreign lands had icy expressions, and An Lan was equally enraged.

No one has ever humiliated him like this throughout history, let alone Xu He repeatedly pressing his face against him.
"Kill me? I, An Lan, am invincible in this world. Who can suppress me? No one in the entire world can suppress me!"

After An Lan finished speaking, her body began to undergo strange changes. Her meridians surged, her skin began to change, and her body quickly transcended the human realm.

No one knew what its true form was; only An Lan's roar could be heard.

"It's just a fight, let's see who's tougher!"
