The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 159 Heaven, Earth, Ghosts, and Gods, All Worship the Heavenly Emperor!
"boom!"

The Emperor's Fist struck the Dark Immortal King, and the terrifying explosion stirred up a sky full of waves.

It emitted a roar as if it were the beginning of creation.

The golden fist light blasted the Dark Immortal King away, destroying countless star fields before finally stopping.

At this moment, the Immortal King, who had long since fled, was amazed by Xu He's strength, while those veteran giants who considered themselves invincible throughout history had no choice but to temporarily avoid the limelight after this attack.

They all dodged and fled.

After all, Xu He was fighting the dark creatures, not them.

His Emperor Fist is so powerful right now that if it gets caught in the crossfire, it would be an undeserved disaster.

While dodging, each of them was actually a little scared.

Because they had already felt the gap from that one blow.

They are veteran Immortal Kings, and naturally they also have methods to ignore space, but they do not have the ability to isolate the boundary sea and harm people like Xu He.

Some people with ulterior motives gradually put away their ulterior motives, but still quietly observed the battle.

At this moment, the Dark Immortal King had already had his chest pierced by that attack.

Although at this level, a fatal wound is no longer fatal, the distinct pain is still being transmitted to the nerves.

The pain was more intense in my face than in my chest.

Even as an enemy, he had to admit that he had underestimated Xu He.

"Let's stop here and each take a step back." The Dark Immortal King did his best to repair his injuries in preparation for the upcoming battle.

"Stop?" Xu He's face revealed a mocking expression:

"Your Dark Clan has reaped the rewards of countless worlds, have you ever thought of stopping? Have you ever considered taking a step back?"

"Look down at this Boundary Sea, how many shattered star fields, how many destroyed civilizations..."

Xu He's eyes flashed with golden light again, and a faint, supreme aura emanated from them, overwhelming the surroundings.

"Don't you know that within the Boundary Sea are all homeless wandering souls? Don't you know that within the Boundary Sea are the blood and tears of all the myriad races of the heavens?"

With each word Xu He uttered, the "momentum" he accumulated grew stronger.

As a result, some people gradually became fearful, believing that it was not a person, but a drawn immortal sword!

"Retreat quickly!" Within the Boundary Sea, a shout from an unknown source echoed outwards from this realm.

"He's about to go on a killing spree!"

"Crazy, really crazy!"

"He...he intends to single-handedly confront the entire Boundary Sea!"

Countless exclamations came from all directions, from different races and creatures, but what they had in common was that everyone was fleeing, afraid of even the slightest trace of Xu He's aura.

"No...we can reconcile, we can reconcile unilaterally..."

At this moment, the Dark Immortal King was terrified. He never expected that even as a giant, he would be so pathetic in front of Xu He.
"reconciliation?"

Xu He gave a self-deprecating laugh, then his pupils suddenly contracted: "Too late!"

With that, he threw another punch.

As soon as the punch was thrown, the surrounding seawater began to evaporate.

The brilliant golden light illuminated this part of the boundary sea in a short time. The dark boundary sea rarely saw a ray of light, so much so that an old immortal king who had been lost for many years thought it was a sudden burst of heavenly light.

Even a Celestial King-level cultivator felt a chill run down their spine. What was evaporating wasn't seawater at all; it was clearly a shattered world!

Is it really just a punch that can evaporate the world like that?
How come the Crimson King's ultimate move couldn't even match Xu He's punch?
The Dark Immortal King was terrified and, disregarding any semblance of dignity, fled in a very disheveled state.

However, even though his step covered billions of star fields, the approaching golden imperial fist still did not diminish its power. As soon as it shone, the Dark Immortal King felt as if he was suffering from the burning pain of purgatory.

His own dark origins were actually burned by the light of the fist!

"Spare me! Spare me!" came the desperate cry of the Dark Immortal King.

But the Golden Emperor Fist clearly didn't give the Dark Immortal King a chance to live. In just a moment, the Emperor Fist had already shattered his head.

Blood splattered everywhere, filthy and dark, it was no exaggeration to say that it was shocking to see.

A primordial spirit suddenly emerged from that decaying body, also corrupted beyond recognition by darkness.

Without hesitation, the primordial spirit immediately fled.

But Xu He behind him didn't give him a chance either, throwing another punch.

The waves surged across countless worlds, and with a single punch, that dark primordial spirit vanished completely from the world.

"Let you go? Who will collect the debt?" Xu He shook his head and silently withdrew his fist.

A powerful and mysterious immortal king was killed with just two punches!
Everyone was somewhat dazed.

The surrounding Celestial Kings were in the same boat; they finally realized what was happening.

The dark creatures within the Boundary Sea wouldn't leave the central location without a reason. The most fundamental reason for their outward expansion is probably to reap the lives of these Immortal Kings!
Fortunately, Xu He happened to be there, so they were able to escape the disaster.

The group of immortal kings who had come to their senses all felt as if they had escaped a calamity.

The several Immortal Kings looked at Xu He at this moment, all feeling somewhat awkward and unsure of what to say.

On the one hand, Xu He was their savior.

On the other hand, their group had come with the intention of learning from each other.

How could they possibly bear such a thing happening now?

"If you see any of my Immortal Kings who have been lost for so long, please guide them on their way home." Before they could hesitate, Xu He broke the silence.

"Definitely, definitely!" The Celestial Kings dared not refuse and quickly agreed.

Xu He withdrew his gaze, and then burst forth with a dazzling golden light, purifying the polluted seawater.

They also cleaned up the corpse of the eerie immortal king.

“These dark creatures are extremely strange and difficult to deal with. Even a single drop of their blood can corrupt a Celestial King, making them extremely dangerous. If you see any normal Celestial Kings in the Boundary Sea, please let us know.” Xu He spoke to the Celestial Kings again.

"Yes, yes! We will definitely inform you!" The celestial kings replied respectfully.

"Hmm." Xu He nodded silently, then stepped into the depths of the Boundary Sea.

"Where is the Heavenly Emperor going?" someone asked anxiously.

They knew Xu He's thoughts, but the dangers deep within the Boundary Sea were truly indescribable; otherwise, countless Immortal Kings wouldn't have been lost there throughout the ages.

In their view, if Xu He were to go into seclusion at this moment to consolidate his Dao fruit, and if he were to truly break through to the King and become an Emperor, then coming to this place would be more suitable and would better achieve his goal of quelling the turmoil.

Xu He paused, glanced back slightly, and uttered only two words:

"Stirring up the sea!"

It was just two ordinary words spoken casually.

However, at this moment, it actually caused a huge uproar in the Boundary Sea.

Some people may have guessed what Xu He wanted to do, but they didn't expect him to be so relaxed and decisive, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

That's deep in the Boundary Sea!

Countless living beings dwell there, and it is also the stronghold of the dark army.

Could it be that Xu He really intends to fight against thousands of troops all by himself?

Some people swallowed hard, even giants and supreme giants wouldn't dare to act like this!
Xu He's steps became more and more firm, step by step, he walked away into the Boundary Sea, and gradually, his figure disappeared into the Boundary Sea.

The hazy, chaotic, and dark fog obscured Xu He's figure, but it could not hide his majestic stature in everyone's hearts and minds!
The road ahead may be unpredictable, and there may even be a risk of ruin. But no emperor will shy away from the challenges he is meant to face.

This is the path to becoming an emperor.

The Great Emperor is like this, and so is the Immortal Emperor; both possess an invincible heart and a single-minded devotion to the heavens!

The mortal world is a vast and complex place, filled with endless causes and effects, perplexing people throughout history. Who can truly understand its mysteries?

But Xu He will not stop his progress because of this.

He never stopped moving forward.

Perhaps, it's like those shouts he uttered countless ages ago, before he became an emperor and faced several supreme beings alone:

"Throughout history, countless emperors and sovereigns have had to lower their heads before me!"

"There are countless Eternal Supremes like crucian carp crossing the river. I, Xu He, can kill nine out of ten of them!"

That voice has not faded away for hundreds of thousands of years, and still lingers in Xu He's ears.

……

"How will future generations evaluate this era?" a Celestial King on the outer edge of the Boundary Sea sighed.

"How will the historians record today's events? The Heavenly Emperor rises up to vanquish the strange, carrying the wishes of all living beings... to eliminate demons?" another Immortal King sighed.

“I…I really want to follow him…” A sense of fervor arose in the heart of that immortal king.

How many years, how many years!
His emotions had long since stabilized with the passing of his monotonous lifespan, no longer capable of stirring up the slightest ripple.

Having lived for countless years and already an old monster, he was actually...actually as passionate as a junior at this moment!

"Heavenly Emperor... Heavenly Emperor! Please allow me to follow in your footsteps!" The Celestial King could no longer contain his fervent worship.

He leaped towards the unknown mystery.

That was a Celestial King!
A celestial king who can shake the world in any era is now proclaiming his vision of following the world!
It will be a sight that is rarely seen throughout the ages!
“If he can truly break through the King and become an Emperor, I think this world will only be renamed the Heavenly Emperor Era!” the old Immortal King said with certainty.

Looking at the figure within the Boundary Sea, even this old Immortal King could not suppress his true feelings.

"Farewell, fellow Daoists! It is not shameful for me to wish to follow an Emperor!"

As he spoke, he also walked towards the depths of the Boundary Sea.

This scene not only stirred up huge waves within the Boundary Sea, but was also captured by cultivators throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Immortal Realm.

"Where are those who question me? Come out and face me!" Qi Yu laughed wildly.

His laughter was extremely wild, but it quickly swept over everyone.

Without a doubt, Xu He's performance today further confirms his future destiny of defeating Wang Chengdi.

This means that Qi Yu's decision has been successful once again!
At this moment, he stared at the group of Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm, wide-eyed.

Little did he know that even after he made his decision, some of the Immortal Kings were still dissatisfied and even harbored some resentment towards him.

But now?

answer me!
Xu He's annihilation of a giant-level dark creature with two punches was already a declaration of his invincibility to the world.

Dissatisfied? How many punches from Xu He can you withstand?
You disagree? Can you get several Celestial Kings to fight over and follow you?

Thinking of these things, Qi Yu's smile grew even brighter.

Within the Immortal Realm, the disgruntled giants had lost their previous arrogance. The scene just now, and that resolute figure, even made them feel a strong urge to fight alongside them.

"If only he were a cultivator from my Immortal Realm..." a powerful figure sighed softly.

"Hmph, once he breaks through the kingship and becomes emperor, even if you want to follow him, you'll have to be mindful of his feelings," Qi Yu replied.

"I really don't know how he will turn this world upside down during his trip to the Boundary Sea," someone remarked.

Countless clamorous voices were discussing Xu He, to the point that even the burial ground was no longer silent.

Countless gazes turned towards the Boundary Sea, even though Xu He was no longer there.

"The future, the future is here..."

I don't know whose remark it was.

……

Boundary sea.

Xu He has been waging war here for a century since he first entered the Boundary Sea.

In the past hundred years, he has killed more than a dozen dark beings at the level of Immortal King, and even several giants have died tragically at his hands.

Golden blood energy and unparalleled fist light had already left a deep impression on the creatures within the Boundary Sea through Xu He's numerous conquests.

As a result, the number of cultivators following Xu He over the past century has increased to at least two counts.

"boom!"

After slaying another dark creature, Xu He stopped to rest, a rare occurrence for him.

He had been in the Boundary Sea for a hundred years, and he had never stopped for a moment. But the Boundary Sea was truly boundless, to the point that he still felt that he was at the absolute edge of the Boundary Sea.

"No wonder even a Celestial King got lost inside..."

Xu He now understood the reason.

Moreover, Xu He alone has already killed more than a dozen Dark Immortal Kings by hunting on the edge. One can imagine how many dark creatures exist in this depth, and even in the entire Boundary Sea.

Xu He sighed, realizing that the possibility of being summoned by the old Immortal King of the Immortal Realm was probably slim.

With so many enemies, most of them will likely perish in the Boundary Sea.

Moreover, the scenery over the past century has been completely monotonous, without any change whatsoever. Apart from the dilapidated star field, there is only dilapidated star field, surrounded by shining stars, making it impossible to discern directions.

No wonder, only beings at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level can come and go freely.

Looking at the Celestial Kings slowly following behind, Xu He asked:
"You've followed me for a hundred years, aren't you afraid of perishing in the Boundary Sea?"

An old immortal king, barely keeping up, said:

"If one is not prepared to die, how can one embark on the path of cultivation?"

He smiled again:
"Besides, these myriad realms do not belong to the Heavenly Emperor alone; I am merely doing my duty."

Xu He nodded slightly, but didn't say much. He simply waited quietly for the Immortal King, who hadn't caught up yet.

"On the path of cultivation, we cultivators have already spent far too long of our lifespan, and have looked down upon the mortal realm for far too long. Gradually, we've lost much of our emotion and become indifferent," the old immortal king continued.

"Everyone is like that, thinking they can stay out of trouble."

"But I discovered that there are many talented people in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and many powerful cultivators are willing to take it upon themselves to protect all living beings."

"At first I was just surprised, until I saw the Heavenly Emperor."

Xu He smiled and said, "We're all just part of the struggle for survival in this mortal world."

"No! You are different. In you, I see my former self, full of vigor and ambition. The difference between you and me is that you can rise from king to emperor."

"Therefore, this old man is willing to risk his life to accompany the Heavenly Emperor in making a ruckus in the Boundary Sea." As he spoke, he bowed to Xu He.

Xu He took in everything and looked at the group of Immortal Kings, saying:

"Would you be willing to enter my Heavenly Court?"

"To see eternal life in the cycle of reincarnation!"
