The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 180 Slaying the Mysterious Immortal Emperor and Returning to the Correct Time

A chilling killing intent permeated the air.

A chilling coldness descended from the head of the eerie Immortal Emperor, like a bucket of ice water being poured over him in winter, chilling him to the bone.

He is an unparalleled and mysterious Immortal Emperor, whose strength is absolutely top-tier even in the heavens.

But now someone is pointing a sword at him.

After a brief chill, the eerie Immortal Emperor quickly clenched his fist.

"Both are Immortal Emperors, but who will live and who will die is still uncertain!"

With the high plateau, he is ultimately immortal and can be resurrected countless times in his ancestral land.

Xu He, however, only had one life.

That eerie Immortal Emperor made his move, unleashing a vast surge of black energy with unparalleled power. As his spear swept across the land, the past, present, and future trembled, the Great Dao roared, and the heavens were filled with blood and gore.

Facing the strange Immortal Emperor's sweeping spear, Xu He coldly snorted:

Even Immortal Emperors have varying strengths!

He observed the two strange immortal emperors before him, and realized that they were merely like cats and mice, and such a battle might not even bring him satisfaction.

At this moment, a single sweep of the sword illuminates the past, present, and future.

The brilliance of the sword met the sweeping spear, instantly creating a blinding light.

The sea of ​​blood in the heavens shattered, and the blood-soaked water turned into raindrops that poured down. Countless corpses and large graves were shattered at this moment, unable to rest in peace.

Emperor Bone and the Rat Immortal Emperor were also affected at this moment, feeling the tremor.

Now that Emperor Bone Brother has recovered his memories of both lifetimes, he felt the pressure of that sword and was greatly shocked. However, when he saw that the Rat Immortal Emperor was affected by the sword energy and paused briefly, he had no time to be surprised by Xu He's strength. He just picked up the Great Luo Sword Embryo and wanted to avenge the grudges of these two lifetimes!

Emperor Bone Bro, standing behind the Rat Immortal Emperor, continuously brandished the Great Luo Sword Embryo, unleashing sharp sword energy:

"You wretch! Prepare to face my eternal torment and eternal hatred!"

If it weren't for the fact that he lacked the means of that dark creature, he would have wanted to corrupt it and make it feel pain.

This desperate chase lasted for an unknown amount of time, until finally the Rat Immortal Emperor was caught up by Emperor Bone Brother.

He brandished the Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand, slashing countless times until even his Immortal Emperor-level body felt somewhat tired before he finally stopped.

His physical body was chopped into minced meat, and even his primordial spirit was split into specks of light, which made Emperor Bone feel a little better.

Having avenged his great grudge, Emperor Bone breathed a long sigh of relief, but before he could even adjust himself...

The next moment, a vast and boundless blood energy surged up and swept across the area in an instant. Even though the source of the blood energy was hundreds of millions of miles away, it still swept across the area in the blink of an eye.

The great battle between the mysterious Immortal Emperor and Xu He has reached a fever pitch.

The strange Immortal Emperor's Emperor Spear was already broken, or more accurately, it was forcibly broken by Xu He.

Just moments ago, after thousands of moves of chess, the Strange Immortal Emperor realized he had found Xu He's weakness. Without hesitation, he wielded his Emperor Spear and transformed into a streak of light, charging towards Xu He.

This strike that pierces through the stars, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will surely pierce through Xu He, or even kill him instantly.

But Xu He miscalculated.

Or rather, no matter how you calculate it, you could never have predicted the current outcome!

Xu He actually took the bullet with his bare body!
He didn't use the sword of the Great Dao, nor did he use his hands to block; instead, he met it with his chest.

The spear did indeed pierce Xu He's body, but before the Strange Immortal Emperor could even rejoice for a moment, he discovered that the spear could not advance any further.

Then, Xu He, wielding the Great Dao Sword, slashed down at him, leaving a gruesome wound a foot long on his chest.

The spear, however, was ruthlessly broken in half.

"You were able to pierce my flesh, though not completely penetrate it, but you can still be proud of yourself." Xu He casually tossed away the Emperor Spear, treating it not like a Celestial Emperor weapon, but rather like trash.

His physical body has always been Xu He's greatest asset.

All the other magical arts, weapons, and comrades are merely embellishments.

He always followed the path of overcoming all obstacles with sheer force.

Since becoming an Immortal Emperor, he had always wanted to test just how far his strength could go, but now it seemed that the current strange Immortal Emperor was far from satisfying him.

Xu He's arrogant demeanor truly stung the eerie Immortal Emperor.

"My Strange Clan is immortal! Even if it burns out all my essence, I will still severely injure you!" The Strange Immortal Emperor roared, beginning to burn his dark essence, fighting against him in his most supreme state.

He finally understood everything.

If one attempt fails, then it will rise again and again, and one day it will be able to take Xu He's head.

"Die!" the eerie Immortal Emperor roared, stretching out his ferocious arms to grab Xu He.

Xu He stood tall in the void, exuding an aura of overwhelming power. Facing the two ferocious and terrifying hands, he immediately became excited.

"Let's see how many punches you can take!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he began to wave his arms, his blood energy once again permeated the air, and golden light shone out again. Gradually, the blood-red world was enveloped by the radiance, and in the vast world, it seemed that only Xu He's upright figure remained.

The light truly overwhelmed the darkness. Xu He's Emperor Fist unleashed boundless power, displaying extraordinary brilliance.

"boom!"

It was like the destruction of the primordial Great Dao, or the roar before annihilation.

This supreme Emperor Fist swept across the heavens with overwhelming force, and when faced with those ferocious hands, the Emperor Fist crushed them mercilessly.

The black blood evaporated in an instant, the source of darkness was obliterated in a flash, and the strange Immortal Emperor's physical body and the Great Dao Laws contained within it were also obliterated.

Endless fragments of flesh and bone transformed into streams of light, swirling in all directions.

The fact that the Celestial Emperor of the Dark Clan was swept away in such a way is something that has probably never happened many times in the myriad realms.

The eerie Immortal Emperor roared in anger, struggling to repair his shattered body and the collapsing laws within him.

But the next moment, an unparalleled, dazzling fist light struck again.

In the blink of an eye, across an eternity, the Emperor's Fist swept across.

This attack shattered the strange Immortal Emperor's body once again.

Even with the eternal life force of an Immortal Emperor, the speed at which the physical body was restored was much slower at this moment.

"Is he really just a Celestial Emperor?"

The eerie Immortal Emperor stood up again, his eyes now filled with fear as he looked at Xu He.

As fellow Immortal Emperors, he had only seen such strength in a few individuals.

Moreover, most of them are members of their strange clan!

Originally, he thought that through repeated battles, he could gradually cripple Xu He and eventually kill him.

But now, with such formidable strength, the strategy of attrition warfare is probably not going to work.

And his physical body...

For some reason, the Strange Immortal Emperor, an ordinary human, possessed a physical body even stronger than those of divine beasts and ferocious beasts.

Any unleashing of any Dao or Dharma will only invite a counterattack from the Emperor's Fist.

Each strike of the Imperial Fist was a physical and psychological ordeal for him.

Xu He threw another punch, launching another attack.

The eerie Immortal Emperor was already exhausted, and the speed at which his physical body was reconstructing was getting slower and slower.

Both of them knew that although Immortal Emperor-level beings were powerful, they would eventually perish when facing cultivators of the same level. And the strange Immortal Emperor was already close to that threshold.

The eerie Immortal Emperor roared in fury and launched a final counterattack, but in the end, he was defeated by Xu He's Emperor Fist, which shone through the ages.

"you win."

The eerie Immortal Emperor's physical body collapsed and burned to ashes.

His physical body, primordial spirit, and dark origin were all exhausted in this battle. Despite such a bloody fight, the final result was that he was suppressed.

Faced with the eerie last words of the Immortal Emperor, Xu He coldly replied, "You are too weak to satisfy my desires."

Even though his injuries weren't serious in this battle, the quality of this strange Immortal Emperor was truly disappointing to him.

"The victor is king, the loser is villain. Whatever, whatever you say goes." Facing Xu He, the eerie Immortal Emperor merely sneered.
"However, next time, you will face me at my peak, as well as many more Immortal Emperors... Just wait, that day will eventually come."

Xu He remained calm and indifferent: "It doesn't matter how many people come. Even if I were to face your ancestor, I would still be invincible in the world."

"What a joke." The Mysterious Immortal Emperor simply said in response to Xu He's provocation.

This person is too arrogant. If he really encounters the strange progenitor, he will only perish without any chance of survival.

"You will see that day." Xu He sneered, conjuring a sword of the Great Dao in his hand, pointing it at the strange Immortal Emperor's head:
"But before that, I need to borrow your head."

The strange Immortal Emperor's pupils suddenly contracted. He had already given up, but he didn't expect Xu He to actually cut off his head now.

Isn't this going to permanently nail him to the pillar of shame?
"What...what are you going to do!" the eerie Immortal Emperor roared.

"Sacrifice the flag!" Xu He responded coldly.

The next moment, the sword flashed, illuminating the past, present, and future.

The head of the eerie Immortal Emperor fell to the ground, leaving a smooth and even cut surface. Blood flowed out only after a long time.

Xu He picked up the head.

"You have completely turned against my strange race! One day, my race will launch a furious revenge against you!" the Strange Immortal Emperor roared angrily.

Xu He calmly said, "Then let's go."

Having said that, a ball of immortal fire ignited in his hand, scorching the head of the eerie immortal emperor.

It's less about burning and more about purification.

The eerie Immortal Emperor's screams lasted for an unknown amount of time before finally ceasing, and his head completely lost its eerie and dark aura.

Seeing this, Xu He casually tossed it into the Immortal Realm of the Boundary Sea and paid it no further attention.

"Fellow Daoist's progress in strength is truly astounding, it makes me feel ashamed." Emperor Bone Brother walked over at this moment.

He could look down on any strange creature or any person, but when facing Xu He, who was helping him take revenge and giving him a second chance at life, he unusually restrained his temper.

Xu He shook his head:

"Fellow Daoist is too modest. Your tragic demise was only due to an unstable cultivation level. When we meet again in the future, your strength will also see a leap forward."

Emperor Bone was taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly gleaned useful information from the flattering words:

"Judging from your words, fellow Daoist, you are leaving again?"

He had followed Xu He through many eras.

Why does Xu He keep changing ancient history and altering the fates of famous figures?
He didn't know the specifics, but he knew that Xu He had grand ambitions.

"It's time to part ways," Xu He said to Emperor Bone.

"Where are we going this time?" Emperor Bone asked.

Upon hearing this, Xu He smiled for some reason: "Let's go home."

"Go back to the right time and meet the right people."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Bone knew he couldn't stop them, so he immediately said, "After countless ages? If I'm still alive then, let's fight side by side again."

Xu He nodded and looked at Emperor Bone Brother, saying:

"Yes, but I still suggest you go back to the lower realm to consolidate your realm. Also, when you are comprehending the heavens and earth, you must be vigilant."

Xu He's words made Emperor Bone Brother feel somewhat embarrassed.

Otherwise, how could he have died with such resentment?

"Understood, understood." Emperor Bone nodded. This time, he believed he could achieve great things.

"Let's leave here first, and I'll tell you about the heavens and the strange race."

Xu He wanted to create the River of Time, but he knew this was not a good location, and he was unsure whether the River of Time created here could return to the normal timeline.

He immediately called for Emperor Bone to return to the lower realm.

Throughout the journey, Xu He recounted the origins and secrets of the eerie and dark world to him.

Emperor Bone listened intently with a solemn expression. On one hand, he was worried about the terrifying power of the strange race, and on the other hand, he was curious about why Xu He knew so many secrets.

It should be noted that as the first emperor to create the world, he was not very knowledgeable about the strange and dark.

Xu He, when they first met, was only at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

"The future is indeed fascinating," Emperor Bone sighed, muttering to himself, "I hope I can live to see that day."

Xu He smiled and nodded: "Yes."

After a conversation, Xu He and Emperor Bone Brother returned to the myriad realms together. They exchanged insights on the Emperor's Way, both of which were beneficial to them.

After searching through countless worlds, Xu He picked a mysterious flower and then unleashed a punch that sent the River of Time flowing through it.

Just as he was about to leave, a spatial tunnel appeared in front of Emperor Bone.

"What is this?" Emperor Bone asked in confusion.

The next moment, a loud voice rang out from within the spatial tunnel:

"Come here, this is the right time."

The sound seemed to possess a magical power, drawing Emperor Bone forward involuntarily. The spatial tunnel also seemed to exert a pull on him, trying to pull him back onto the right track.

Gradually, Emperor Bone got closer and closer to the spatial tunnel.

At first, he was a little confused and resistant, but gradually, he saw a face.

It looks almost identical to Xu He, but it is not Xu He himself.

"A future body? A past body? Or perhaps a similar flower?" Emperor Bone wondered, but still went inside.

In the vastness of the world, Emperor Bone's figure vanished from this realm, as if he had never existed. The spatial tunnel closed the moment Emperor Bone disappeared.

Xu He, who was standing nearby, witnessed everything. He did not stop them because he had also seen that face.

"Returning to the right time, that's true for him, but I have more important things to do."

As Xu He spoke, holding the flower, he stepped onto the river of time and walked down step by step.

He saw a lot along the way.

This world has no darkness, but it is not perfect either.

He wanted to truly build a perfect world.

Xu He walked forward step by step until he finally disappeared into the distance.
