The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 164 Slaughtering until no one in the world dares to claim supremacy!

"That's outrageous."

Wu Shang chuckled, realizing that Xu He's method of following the laws of nature was destined to be unsustainable.

Xu He himself was still there, and immediately took up his bronze halberd and charged forward.

At the same time, Qu Zhong, who was hiding in the shadows, also brought out his golden gourd, followed by the Crimson King Furnace.

"Let's work together to get rid of him!" Kundi shouted, throwing out the Immortal Refining Pot as he did so.

This Immortal Refining Pot has refined countless immortals, and the bones and blood of those immortals have condensed into the most powerful attack.

It charged toward Xu He with destructive force.

Xu He did not sit idly by and wait for death. He waved his hand at the Crimson King Furnace and the Yellow Gourd, turning the myriad Daoist auras they emitted into dust, which then dissipated into a sky full of rosy clouds.

The immortal kings and fallen immortal kings were instantly plunged into despair.

Fortunately, the final blow from the Immortal Refining Pot still struck Xu He.

He pierced through the chest.

At this moment, people from the Immortal Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were filled with worry, and even the Immortal Kings wanted to cheer.

They believed this was a decisive blow that would achieve their goal in one fell swoop.

But things took an unexpected turn!
Xu He's chest was indeed pierced, and his internal organs began to shatter.

Their bodies also became broken and damaged.

It almost vanished into the sky full of rosy clouds.

But at that moment, a strange change occurred. Just as Xu He's body was about to turn into a rosy glow, it spontaneously burst into flames.

At this moment, the cultivators of the Immortal Phoenix Clan were the first to react, followed by the excitement of cultivators from both realms and the resentment of the Immortal Kings.

"This junior has the method of Nirvana!" Wu Shang cursed, "This can't be a Nirvana without a price. Let's see how many times you can achieve Nirvana!"

“That’s right, this kind of rebirth will definitely come at a terrible price. If it happens a few more times, you will be the one who dies!” Qu Zhong also spoke up at this moment.

However, a cold voice rang out at that moment:
"If it is Nirvana, then there is indeed a price to pay, but what if I am just an avatar?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a towering figure walked from the other side of the sea.

Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her eyes flashed like cold lightning, and her wide sleeves fluttered in the wind.

That aura of unparalleled dominance can only belong to one person!
As Xu He's figure appeared in the world, everyone cheered.

"The Emperor of Heaven is unparalleled!"

"The Heavenly Emperor is unparalleled!"

"The Heavenly Emperor suppresses all!"

Countless shouts transformed into an overwhelming wave that swept across the entire universe!
Meanwhile, the immortal kings and fallen immortal kings were filled with fear and even wanted to curse.

Xu He, who fought with them for so long, turned out to be just an avatar?
Could it be that all of them are not even as good as Xu He's clone?

At this moment, the Crimson King was so enraged that he was forced to spit out a mouthful of blood.

He was the first Immortal King to see Xu He, witnessing firsthand how Xu He fought An Lan to a standstill, how he single-handedly suppressed An Lan, and now, how he single-handedly fought several giants and supreme giants with one clone.

In his memory, this was only a few tens of thousands of years ago.

But he knew even more clearly that it only took Xu He a little over a thousand years to go from having the strength of a Celestial King to being able to fight several supreme giants alone.

"Why should I?!" The Crimson King spat out another mouthful of blood.

"You believe everything he says!" Wu Shang shouted at this moment, "This kid is cunning, he's lying to us!"

His intention was to remind everyone to cheer up, but everyone present, including himself, could feel Xu He's boundless vitality; he didn't look injured at all.

In other words, they were really locked in a fierce battle with a clone just now.

I'll prove it to you!

Wu Shang roared, once again wielding his bronze halberd as he charged at Xu He.

But this time, his supposedly formidable offensive power was utterly laughable.

Xu He raised his hand and threw a punch.

The bronze halberd was blasted into dust.

The aftershock of that punch also struck Wu Shang, narrowly missing a vital spot and sending this supreme giant into reincarnation.

"Impossible, this is impossible..."

Wu Shang was caught by Kun Di, and asked incredulously, "As a fellow supreme giant, why..."

His words caught in his throat, and he couldn't utter another word.

The immortal kings, fallen immortal kings, and dark creatures around him were also speechless.

Because they saw a ray of light appear above Xu He's head.

The light was so pure and sacred that almost no words in the world could describe it.

If I had to describe it, there would only be one concise word—"Emperor".

Yes, three feet above Xu He's head, the imperial aura was already appearing.

Even Xu He was surprised by this.

He showed no signs of breaking through the barrier, yet his strength was strangely unpredictable.

From the moment one enters the realm of Immortal King, the ultimate leap is to become a powerful giant.

Xu He could understand this at first, after all, he had broken through to the peak of the Immortal Realm and was quite powerful.

But gradually, he discovered that his strength was always in a mysterious state, and he could only go toe-to-toe with anyone.

This is also the fundamental reason why Qi Yu took the initiative to back down, and why Kun Di and Wu Shang fled far away.

By this time, Xu He's combat strength had actually approached that of a supreme giant, and he also noticed something strange.

He wanted to see just how far he could go.

Therefore, he went to the Boundary Sea alone and caused a great disturbance there, with the aim of provoking as many powerful enemies as possible.

As he had hoped, the situation was extremely difficult, but what he hadn't expected was that he would gain so many celestial kings as divine generals, which would allow him to uncover a corner of the secrets of the ancient Heavenly Court.

Fortunately, his verification was successful.

When you encounter an absolutely formidable enemy and face a life-or-death crisis.

A ray of imperial light appeared.

This was an extremely smooth breakthrough, from giant to supreme giant to Emperor Light Immortal King.

His strength will only increase based on his condition.

Xu He knew why.

The root cause of everything is the Sixth Secret Realm.

This world, this ancient history, was truly reflected by him.

It is also possible that this entire ancient history was formed from a single drop of his blood.

Now, his sixth secret realm, "Eternal Blue Sky, River of Time," is rooted in this single drop of blood.

Therefore, Xu He is currently just constantly absorbing that drop of blood and getting closer to it.

What Xu He didn't know was which period this drop of blood came from.

Perhaps the upper limit of this drop of blood is the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, but it is more likely to be at the Immortal Emperor level.

Above that, Xu He was uncertain.

But whether it's a Quasi-Immortal Emperor at the peak or an Immortal Emperor, it's enough to deal with the current situation.

Xu He's gaze swept over the Immortal Kings once more.

Everyone knew that this was a sweeping war, a war with unpredictable twists and turns.

"You go first, I'll cover your retreat!"

Wu Shang had been working to recover his body, and knowing that there was no possibility of further breakthrough, he made up his mind.

"Immortal to all laws, all supernatural powers are but dust!" Wu Shang roared, charging towards Xu He with the arrogance of a supreme giant. But the outcome would not change because of one person's anger.

Xu He coldly swung his fist, unleashing the Heavenly Emperor Fist, causing the Boundary Sea to surge and golden light to fill the sky.

In the blink of an eye, they had already crushed Wu Shang.

Wu Shang's physical body and primordial spirit were both wiped out in an instant before they could even utter a scream, turning into the greatest rain of light in the world.

If there's any difference, perhaps the Supreme Giant is a bit more dazzling.

Like his entire life.

Immune to magic, invincible among its peers from birth, rising to prominence later, leaving cultivators of the same realm helpless, and rising to the level of a giant, even many kings are powerless against it, and can only avoid it.

His early life was incredibly brilliant.

Then, he encountered the greatest enemy of his life.

Similarly, it is a mountain that no one can overcome.

Xu He.

With just one punch, all his pride was shattered.

Wu Shang was sent into reincarnation with a single punch, and no one in the world could stop him. Xu He, with the aura of an emperor, was unstoppable.

These strange immortal kings and immortal kings, no matter how much they struggle, are nothing more than putting up a last-ditch resistance.

Xu He looked at the Crimson King with a cold gaze once more. For a long time, the Crimson King had brought him endless pressure.

but now?
The Heavenly Emperor's Fist struck out, severing the boundary sea. The Crimson King had no way to ascend to heaven or descend to earth.

In the end, they could only watch in despair as the Heavenly Emperor Fist closed in on them.

Her lips trembled, and she whispered, "I am not reconciled."

There was no panic, but overwhelming regret.

This foreign leader ultimately retained his dignity and peacefully stepped into history.

"Next, it's your turn, Qu Zhong."

As soon as Xu He finished speaking, he threw a punch at Qu Zhong.

At this moment, Qu Zhong had no time to care about why Xu He knew his name.

He tried his best to turn the yellow gourd.

However, under the Emperor's Fist, there is no survival but death.

The yellow gourd shattered, and Qu Zhong was also reduced to dust.

After doing all this, Xu He looked at Kun Di with a rather emotional expression: "Do you have any last words? If you have any questions, I can answer them for you."

Without a doubt, Kundi is a formidable opponent, and his schemes and decisions are all for the sake of the foreign land.

If everything goes smoothly, Quinti will be the ultimate winner.

But then I appeared and shattered all of that.

"What is the Origin Artifact?" Kundi asked wearily.

His scheming throughout the ages was nothing more than trying to unlock the ancient artifact of origin. Now that it has completely failed, all he wants to do before he dies is figure this out.

"There are two ancient artifacts of origin in the world, one in the burial ground and the other in another realm. Both are quasi-immortal emperor artifacts," Xu He explained to him.

"The burial soil was also created for this reason, but the Burial King and the others were not affected like you."

As he spoke, Xu He asked a sincere question:
"Your strength is almost on par with Di Guang's. You really couldn't escape the influence?"

This cryptic statement swept across the land, leaving everyone puzzled and waiting for Kundi's reply.

Kundi lowered his eyes, the faint light in them seeming to be recalling his life.

A continuous rise...

After a long silence, he finally spoke:

"Whether it exists or not, does it matter? You and I are just people seeking an imperial career."

“However…” Kundi’s voice showed a clear emotional fluctuation: “However, you won…”

His voice was filled with endless sorrow.

That was the helplessness of the loser.

"You're right, I won." Xu He said quite easily, throwing another punch.

The Emperor's Light appeared, and the Heavenly Emperor Fist once again destroyed everything.

Kundi also perished; the supreme giant turned into dust of history, marking the complete destruction of the alien realm.

For some reason, some of the old Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm were somewhat saddened.

They didn't know why they were sad.

Perhaps it was because of the desolation of becoming an emperor.

Xu He remained expressionless. He had witnessed this scene far too often. In the past, in the lower realm, whenever a supreme being from a forbidden zone fell, it would cause other supreme beings to feel a sense of shared sorrow.

Even though they had been competitors.

Perhaps they can see a reflection of themselves in each other.

However, in the lower realm, all they seek is to become immortals.

Here, all they sought was to become emperor.

Although there are differences, they are ultimately the same.

It's all about transcending, about wanting to control your own destiny, because everyone knows that their fate is nothing more than a floating duckweed in the ever-flowing river of time...

"When will you stop wallowing in self-pity!" Qi Yu shouted, "Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"

Qi Yu fought the nineteen monsters for a long time. Although he tried his best to resist, he was ultimately at a disadvantage.

Each attack sent shivers down his spine.

Soon, with Qi Yu's roar, the group of immortal kings looked embarrassed and threw themselves back into the battlefield.

Just as Qi Yu was about to collapse, Xu He stepped across the Boundary Sea and returned directly to the Immortal Realm.
With a simple raise of his head, he severed several enormous heads from nineteen monsters.

With another punch, the immense force of the fist directly blasted the nineteen monsters to death.

Looking at Xu He before him, Qi Yu knew the vast difference in their strength, and immediately said respectfully, "Thank you for your help, Heavenly Emperor."

Xu He nodded silently, and then built a golden road leading to the heavens.

There, the continuous appearance of several ancient temples leading to fallen immortal kings finally came to a halt, seemingly somewhat afraid of Xu He, as the light of Xu He's fist was about to approach Cha Nan.
The path connecting the ancient palace to the immortal realm vanished in an instant.

They were completely transformed into two separate worlds.

Xu He wasn't interested in the things in the Guiding Ancient Hall, but he was a little disappointed that he couldn't keep more people there.

However, none of the fallen immortal kings in the current immortal realm can escape.

Xu He raised his hand, and an aura of unparalleled dominance and boundless destructive power rippled out, resonating with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, manifesting one heavenly punishment after another.

After that, one terrifying divine punishment after another accurately struck every fallen immortal king who did not belong to this realm.

In just a few breaths, the group of fallen immortal kings who had sunk the immortal realm were all killed.

After doing all this, Xu He raised his hand again, and with his boundless power, he pieced together the sunken and shattered Immortal Realm, reshaping it.

Although it cannot compare to the meticulousness of the former Immortal Realm, such post-mortem matters will be properly handled by others.

Xu He didn't have much time to perfect these things.

He went to the Boundary Sea once again, carrying with him the overwhelming imperial might.

However, upon entering the Boundary Sea for the first time, he stirred up the waters of the heavens and the seas, with countless small worlds clearing a path for him and daring not to hinder his progress.

"This time, we're really going to overturn the Boundary Sea..." Immortal King Ao Sheng exclaimed.

"He faced the darkness alone to help us eliminate this scourge, truly worthy of the name of the Heavenly Emperor!" Immortal King Wuzhong exclaimed at this moment.

Only Qi Yu, watching Xu He's retreating figure and knowing he was about to unleash a massacre, uttered a startling statement:
"Heavenly Emperor, this might lead to a massacre where no one in the world dares to claim supremacy!"
