The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 184 concludes the reflection, returning to the real world.

For a long time afterward, Xu He traveled through many times and left his mark in many different periods of time.

At the same time, he also killed several powerful dark beings at different times.

During this period of time, perhaps it really was the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor who played a role, as the Dark Clan actually kept sending troops to besiege and suppress Xu He.

And all of this is naturally something Xu He is happy to see.

The "order" he gave to the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm to besiege him was in order to try to eliminate him forever through repeated battles.

"It still doesn't work." Xu He crushed a tiger head in his hand.

Brain matter and the source of darkness danced in the air at that moment.

This is a very powerful Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor; the two have clashed more than once.

However, Xu He tried several times but was unable to truly and permanently silence it.

"Sigh... The frequency of dark creatures seems to have decreased a lot lately. Have we discovered something?" Xu He muttered to himself.

One of the main reasons he traveled through different time periods for so long was to prevent the dark creatures from switching to someone else if they couldn't handle a tough opponent.

Therefore, during this period of time, he fought against almost all the dark creatures from the Immortal King level to the Immortal Emperor level.

It now seems that the other party has become alert.

"Looks like fishing is out of the question," Xu He shook his head.

"Well, at least we have a direction now. We'll succeed eventually if we try a few more times."

Having said that, Xu He seemed to have made up his mind. A glimmer of light appeared in his eyes as he looked at the starry sky with an indescribable confidence.

"Let's end it here and return to the real world."

As soon as Xu He finished speaking, everything before his eyes began to change. The shining stars in the heavens synchronized with his breathing, and the surging waves moved rhythmically in response.

Gradually, the starry sky became hazy, and gradually, the world became illusory.

Like an oil painting that has been exposed to high temperatures, it is gradually dissolving at this moment, with drops of ink dripping down like sweat.

Everything became distorted and utterly unreal.

Yet, within this illusion, only Xu He's figure became increasingly solid.

Finally, this patch of starry sky disappeared completely.

Only Xu He remained in the original spot.

Xu He opened his eyes, as if he were a traveler who had been asleep for ages, still recalling the events of his dream.

The scene before them transformed once again into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Everything was so bloody and familiar, just like Xu He's previous memories.

"Is this the truth?" Xu He comprehended the great laws and order of the heavens and earth.

It seemed to be exactly the same as the space-time it reflected.

"Perhaps the spacetime I reflect is also real," Xu He thought to himself.

But at this moment, he did not dwell too much on the difference between reality and illusion.

The mysterious heavens have aroused Xu He's curiosity too much. Last time, he only glimpsed it for the first time and did not explore it at all.

This time, his divine sense quickly swept across many areas of the heavens. Gone was the glory of the past; most areas were now mountains of corpses and seas of blood, even exuding a strange and ominous aura.

Having completely returned to reality from the illusory, Xu He seemed to have become stronger again. At this moment, he could even sense when an earth-shattering battle had broken out on this scorched earth.

As his divine sense swept across an area, Xu He suddenly stopped.

A familiar aura suddenly appeared on the scorched earth.

"Interesting, it's actually Ye Fan's." Xu He opened his eyes, quite certain that the remaining aura came from Ye Fan.

Even if it destroys the origin of the Holy Body, the feeling within that bloodline cannot be changed at all.

Xu He quickly sprang into action, heading towards the remaining battlefield. He needed more clues to track down Ye Fan and the others.

At that very moment, in a strange area above the heavens, two pairs of eyes opened almost simultaneously.

One person was covered in red hair, and the other was covered in green hair.
The red-haired monster spoke up, "That aura..."

“Indeed, a powerhouse at the end of the road.” The green-haired creature confirmed his thoughts.

The red-haired monster muttered to himself, "Huh? Why does this person's aura feel so unfamiliar? It seems like he's never appeared before. Could he be a newly enlightened, path-ending powerhouse?"

But he quickly rejected his idea:

"With such a profound and solid aura, he is probably not a newly enlightened person. It is an old monster who has been hidden for thousands of years and is unknown to anyone who has come out."

The red-haired monster was somewhat excited; their clan's favorite pastime was hunting the heavens.

Hunting down level-one powerhouses is also an extremely interesting thing.

“Let’s go, I’ll go with you.” The green-haired monster stood up and looked at the red-haired monster.

That mysterious expert at the end of the road is no ordinary person; he is probably not someone who can be easily defeated.

but……

"If we brothers work together, we can conquer the world!" the green-haired monster laughed, and explored towards Xu He's location.

The red-haired monster laughed loudly and followed closely behind.

An epic battle of epic proportions is about to unfold once again, and no one knows what the consequences of this battle will be.

Xu He, on the other hand, didn't care about any of this.

He did not conceal his aura, or rather, ever since returning to the real world, he had never thought of concealing it.

All the causes and effects ultimately boil down to one battle.

Xu He, however, had no fear of a battle.

Upon arriving in this area, one is immediately struck by an indescribable, eerie, and ominous aura.

Xu He frowned.

The battles that took place here seem to have been far too intense.

Xu He raised his hand to clear away the strange aura, and was finally able to sense the aura left behind by Ye Fan more clearly.

"It's the power of the Heavenly Emperor Fist, and it even contains the primordial energy of all things..."

The power of the Heavenly Emperor Fist was so great that it obliterated everything, making it difficult for Xu He to make a judgment. However, the Mother Qi of All Things beside him gave Xu He some clues.

Xu He sensed that the power fluctuations of this Mother Qi of All Things did not seem to have reached the level that the Immortal Emperor had once possessed.

"So, Ye Fan's strength at this time had not yet reached the level of Immortal Emperor?" Xu He pondered for a moment.

Did I arrive at the wrong time?
wrong.

At this point in time, there might be something I can do.

Xu He suddenly realized that the trio's defeat might have occurred during this period.

"So, it was the right time to come," Xu He concluded.

At that moment, he also keenly noticed that there seemed to be two points of light, one red and one green, twinkling on the horizon.

It exudes an eerie and ominous aura, and its speed is so fast that it reverses time and space, and the passage of time is accelerated to its limit.

They crossed the path.

Clearly, these are two bizarre creatures at the end of the road.

In the blink of an eye, the red-haired monster and the green-haired monster descended upon the area. The two monsters coldly stared at Xu He, saying nothing, their expressions indifferent and disdainful, as if they were scrutinizing prey.

Xu He looked at the two monsters, not considering them a threat, and instead spoke very casually:
"Hey, traffic lights, have you seen a brute carrying a bell to cover your retreat, another brute who has a cauldron and doesn't need to fight with his fists, and a stunningly beautiful woman wearing a mask?"

Both the red-haired monster and the green-haired monster were taken aback.

Some people didn't understand what Xu He meant by "traffic lights".

As for what Xu He said...

A reckless man who used the bell to cover the rear?
You don't need a brute who fights with his fists.

And there was that stunningly beautiful woman wearing a mask.

They had indeed met him, but they had no reason or obligation to inform Xu He.

The red-haired monster didn't answer, but instead asked:
"There's no one like you in the heavens before. Who are you?"

Xu He looked at the red-haired monster and said calmly:

"The one who quells the rebellion."

As soon as the words were spoken, both the red-haired monster and the green-haired monster snorted coldly.

"Suppressing rebellion? Throughout history, there have been many people as arrogant as you, but they either knelt down and joined my strange race or became nourishment for my race. Which category do you belong to?" The green-haired monster spoke first.

The red-haired monster followed up with his admonition:
"You think that by achieving the pinnacle of your path you are the most powerful being in the world? Do you know that even without our ancestor's intervention, there are only a handful of people who could suppress someone like you?"

"You are still young, don't think you're so great. In reality, you're just a lamb. Do you know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is?"

From the moment the red-haired monster saw Xu He, he ruled out the possibility that he was the old monster.

The mysterious race rules the heavens and conquers all realms. In this process, how many beings at the end of the road have they witnessed and killed?

He had never met Xu He before, and the aura emanating from Xu He was extremely unfamiliar, unlike anyone from this world.

They seem more like cultivators who emerged from the lower realms.

Coming up from the lower realm is indeed extremely rare, but that doesn't mean you can sweep everything aside.

Even that exceptionally talented woman fell, and Xu He is not even as good as that woman now, so there is no need for the ancestors to take action.

"Join my race and you will gain eternal life." The two monsters spoke at the same time, their voices shaking the heavens.

The stars in the heavens shattered at this resounding bell, and the mountains of corpses and seas of blood boiled once more, with countless wronged souls seemingly weeping and wailing.

But Xu He, who was in the eye of the storm, remained remarkably calm.

The powerful sound waves only stirred his long hair and his sleeves.

That's it.

His Daoist heart is as firm and stable as his body, unchanging through the ages.

"Is the sky high? Is the earth thick?" Xu He laughed, looking at the two creatures at the end of the road.

"Who is heaven, and who is earth?"

The red-haired monster looked at Xu He, who was laughing loudly, and sneered: "My ancestor is the heaven of all the myriad races in the heavens!"

Upon hearing this, Xu He simply shook his head.

"May I ask, traffic lights, how long have you been practicing Taoism?"

The two creatures at the end of the road frowned, not quite understanding Xu He's meaning, but still spoke up:
"We have existed since time immemorial, ruling over all ages. Countless eras have passed, tides have risen and fallen, but only our race has endured longer than heaven and earth."

Upon hearing this, Xu He nodded, but then changed the subject, even adding a touch of sarcasm:
"If that's the case, then those two must have used at least a million years of their lifespan to reach the end of their cultivation path, right?"

The red-haired monster snorted coldly:

Why bring this up?

Xu He smiled and said:

"This emperor rose from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of power in a span of no more than 500,000 years."

"Your strength is unparalleled, unmatched throughout history. So what right do you have to speak of eternal existence and rule over all ages before me?"

Xu He's voice carried an indescribable confidence.

Its power is overwhelming, its glory shines through the ages, and none of the heroes under heaven can rival it!

Along the way, he single-handedly overthrew many regimes.

Whether facing multiple enemies alone or a weakling battling a powerful opponent.

He never retreated; his invincible path was paved with the bones of countless people.

In his eyes, the two beings at the end of the road are nothing more than another stepping stone under his feet.

It was this invincibility and confidence that allowed Xu He to come to the heavens without concealing his presence.

The words, along with their sharp aura, reverberated and reached the ears of the two beings at the end of their paths, causing their pupils to shrink sharply.

He exclaimed in surprise, "What!"

How can someone cultivate to this level with a lifespan of 500,000 years?
It should be understood that in the Immortal Ancient Era, a lifespan of 500,000 years was merely the time it took for a cultivator to progress from a minor figure to a true immortal.

Five hundred thousand years is but a fleeting moment.

A Celestial King-level expert might spend the entire time in seclusion.
Their search for a breakthrough took them several epochs to find even a sliver of possibility.

Now, a mysterious and unpredictable powerhouse suddenly appears and speaks directly, saying that with only 500,000 years of lifespan, he has reached the same level as them, spanning several eras.

How can they accept this?

Seeing the unpredictable expressions on the faces of the two beings at the end of the road, Xu He sneered:
"It seems you are the ones who don't know the height of the blue sky and the thickness of the yellow earth."

The words, laced with blatant sarcasm, enraged the green-haired creature.
"Insanity!"

"Did you know that even cultivators at the same realm have varying levels of strength?"

"Do you know that the gap between us is as vast as an insurmountable chasm, one that we can never cross in our lifetime?"

Beside him, the red-haired monster also spoke up angrily:
“Our race is benevolent, and I originally intended to give you a creature, but you have repeatedly provoked me and dared to speak ill of our race’s leadership, status, and strength!”

"Today, we will sever your foundation, pluck your fruit, and taste your flesh and blood, so that you will know what it means to have your life and death not in your own hands, but controlled by others!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the red-haired creature's hair stood on end.

Thousands of red hairs burst forth, transforming into an incredibly eerie red storm that swept across all the heavens and myriad realms in an instant.

Within the crimson hue, there was also an endless aura of darkness, sending chills down one's spine, transforming into a red and black dome.

Just one glance is enough to send chills down your spine.

Facing the overwhelming storm of crimson and black, Xu He snorted coldly and held up the sky with one hand.

"There are varying degrees of strength among creatures at the end of the road, but I have defeated more than one such creature!"

Xu He's voice carried an overwhelming imperial majesty.

Even in distant places, cultivators could sense this extremely terrifying aura.

In the lower realms, cultivators were filled with fear and trepidation.

On the battlefield, Xu He's fighting spirit was revealed once again, soaring into the sky in an instant!
This time, his blood energy carried his unique laws of the Great Dao, which were incompatible with this world, yet it was like a brand new hope, a brand new world.

Xu He lifted the heavens with one hand and laughed loudly:
"Even if I were to lift up the heavens, I could overturn them with just one hand!"

After saying that, his body shone with dazzling golden light, and another Emperor Fist, which had been gathering power for a long time, suddenly blasted out.
