Chapter 405 The Emperor's Wrath!
Many ancient life-bearing lands in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have existed for a long time, and stars such as the Purple Star and the Big Dipper existed as early as the mythological era.

Among these ancient lands of life, Earth is a particularly special one, with legends surrounding it since the age of mythology.

Legend has it that when Earth was still known as the ancient primordial star, there were countless immortal mountains on it, among which Kunlun was famous throughout the entire universe.

The remnants of the Kunlun Immortal Mountain also terrify the entire universe, simply because their power is too great, with many supreme beings residing there, and powerful figures have been emerging from ancient times to the present.

The Emperor rose to power in this very place, for it was his ancestral star. After failing on the path to immortality, he returned here and faked his death.

If the center of the universe in the ancient and primitive eras was the Big Dipper, then in the mythological era, Earth was the center of the nine heavens and ten earths.

Many celestial lineages from the mythological era to the present day have long since disappeared in many places, but some of their inheritance still remains on Earth.

All of these points illustrate the uniqueness of this place; its existence spans a period of ancient history, a rarity in this era.

"Hangu Pass!"

Meanwhile, Qi Zhe had already arrived in this ancient star field, where he saw a bright star and a majestic pass in the sky.

This ancient and majestic pass is usually hidden in the void, rarely seen by ordinary people. It is said that it can sense the thoughts of those who come and will appear on its own to block great enemies.

Now, the majestic pass has emerged on its own, hanging on this towering star, its walls covered with various battle scars of swords and halberds, exuding an astonishing sense of antiquity.

However, it did not appear because of Qi Zhe's arrival. It was someone else in the starry sky who knocked on the gate, causing the shouts of battle to rise in front of the city gate and the starry sky to shake.

"Kill!"

This is a group of incredibly powerful cultivators. The weakest among them is a Saint, and the strongest are several Quasi-Emperors. They are a vast and powerful force, numbering in the thousands.

At this moment, Qi Zhe heard one of the quasi-emperors speak, his voice laced with threat: "You all should open the gate immediately, or we will storm in and things will not end well!"

He was extremely domineering. At this moment, he manifested his true form in the outer realm, revealing his ferocious tiger form, which spanned tens of thousands of miles. His head resembled a human, but he had a pair of sharp fangs in his mouth.

“It’s a Taotie, one of the Four Fiends of antiquity, a descendant of the Kunlun clan.” At this moment, a strange light flashed in Qi Zhe’s eyes as he realized the origin of the creature.

Taotie is one of the four ancient ferocious beasts, extremely rare in the nine heavens and ten earths. Only the Kunlun descendants have their bloodline, as is known to all.

In Qi Zhe's memory, the Immortal Bell had mysteriously rung on the path to immortality. After the dark turmoil, the Kunlun remnants waged war against it for a hundred years.

Although the outcome of the turmoil is different now, they have still made a move, presumably to retake their ancestral lands or even to find the Immortal Bell.

"You're just daydreaming! You've already been driven out; how could you possibly enter the pass again!"

More than a dozen figures appeared behind the city gate. They were all Qi cultivators from the pre-Qin period who had returned to this place. Among them, one figure was quite powerful, standing at the Quasi-Emperor realm.

"Ge Hong!" At this moment, the quasi-emperor Taotie roared, recognizing his old rival, and couldn't help but rush towards Hangu Pass.

"boom!!!"

At this moment, Hangu Pass shone brightly, directly blocking the opponent in the starry sky. Afterwards, a continuous imperial formation appeared, with terrifying Dao power surging.

"You brought this on yourselves!"

The quasi-emperor of the Kunlun clan roared, clearly having a backup plan. At that moment, a strange ancient weapon rose in the starry sky, and a large, ancient seal with cracks appeared.

The seal was entirely black, with thousands of chaotic waterfalls cascading down from it as it stretched across the sky, like a starry sky pressing down on Hangu Pass, radiating an extremely powerful aura.

"Even though the Emperor's Seal is damaged, it has been revived to this extent!"

At that moment, exclamations of surprise and doubt rang out in the starry sky. The many Qi cultivators standing on the city wall recognized the large seal and realized with astonishment that it was the ancient weapon of the Taiyin Human Emperor. In the past, the Taiyin Human Emperor attained enlightenment in the Primordial Era. During his reign, he looked down upon the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths without a single defeat. He could rival the gods and his glory reached its peak.

But as everyone knows, he embarked on the path to immortality in his later years, and finally collapsed in a pool of blood, where he developed divine thoughts.

His weapon did not accompany him on his journey but was left to his descendants. It disappeared during a divine war at the end of the ancient era, and then made a fleeting appearance in the Big Dipper many years ago.

Now the Great Seal has reappeared, lying across the starry sky, pressing down on Hangu Pass, ready to launch an attack, causing many human cultivators to change color.

At this moment, Ge Hong coldly said, "You Kunlun descendants stole the ancient weapon of the Human Emperor and used it to attack Hangu Pass. Was it the forbidden artifact left by the Supreme Being of the past that was destroyed?"

Ge Hong was well aware of the Kunlun Clan's hidden strength. Although the Kunlun Clan's supreme being had been killed many years ago, something remained—a terrifying forbidden artifact.

In ancient times, Earth was besieged by numerous alien armies. It was that forbidden artifact that forcibly broke through Hangu Pass, allowing the saints from beyond the realm to break in.

He felt that he wouldn't be able to break through Hangu Pass if it were just a damaged imperial weapon. His only worry was that forbidden artifact, and he wanted to lure it out and destroy it in advance.

It was only because that forbidden artifact possessed such terrifying power that if it hadn't been destroyed by now, he truly wouldn't have been able to defend Hangu Pass alone.

"Hehe." At this moment, Quasi-Emperor Taotie had a mocking expression. For him, this matter was not stressful at all, and it was just a good opportunity to demonstrate the strength of the Kunlun Clan.

He then added, "Why bother using ancestral artifacts? It doesn't matter if this imperial weapon is destroyed today. You are the ones who should be heartbroken!"

"Hangu Pass will be breached, and we will return to Kunlun!"

The next moment, Taotie pointed his spear, and the Emperor's Seal, which blotted out the sky, crashed into Hangu Pass with a violent, all-consuming force.

Without a doubt, this guy wanted to destroy the Emperor's Seal and Hangu Pass together, deliberately trying to destroy this ancient weapon and hoping for a world-shaking collision that would crush Hangu Pass.

"What a delusion!" Qi Zhe muttered at this moment, unable to bear the other party's face any longer. His eyes flashed and he fixed the Emperor Seal in mid-air.

"Do you intend to destroy the Emperor's sacred weapon? Are you courting death?"

With a single outstretched hand, even the most powerful Taotie would perish. The current emperor personally attacked a quasi-emperor; even with boundless destiny, it would be insufficient to kill him.

At this moment, there was complete silence in front of Hangu Pass. Many cultivators turned to look at Qi Zhe, who had suddenly appeared, and were all extremely shocked.

"Emperor!"

A great sage was shouting in alarm atop the Hangu Pass. The cultivators of the Kunlun clan felt that a great calamity was about to befall them, never expecting that the human emperor would be here.

"Great Emperor, please show mercy! We did not interfere when you were undergoing your tribulation!" At this moment, the other quasi-emperors of the Kunlun Clan spoke up, hoping that Qi Zhe would stop.

"puff!"

But at this moment, a bloody light rose from Qi Zhe's large hand. The Taotie had already perished, turning into a wisp of ashes drifting in the universe. Then, Qi Zhe's eyes shifted and he said:

"You mean I should thank you for not intervening? Otherwise, I would have perished? Would I have had no chance of attaining enlightenment? Do you think you are supreme beings?"

At this moment, the universe dimmed. Qi Zhe was speechless at these guys. He stared at them with a deep gaze, his aura as an emperor overwhelming the universe.

"Huh? We misspoke! Your Majesty, please calm down!" The remaining Kunlun Quasi-Emperors felt their souls tremble. When they came to their senses, they realized they had made a foolish mistake.

Even the Supreme Being couldn't defeat Qi Zhe that day, so how could they possibly do it? If that were the case, they would all be swept away before Qi Zhe even attained enlightenment.

"roll!"
