I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

After hearing the Black Emperor's projection's words, Wu Ming remained silent for a long time.

For the Black Emperor, his plan was both a great opportunity and a great danger. The biggest hurdle was not to achieve immortality, but whether he could condense his origin and reach the King Realm. If he could cross that threshold, he would have a bright future. If he could not, although he could achieve immortality, his actual lifespan would only last until the next invasion of the Demon Realm.

Although he was always the passive party in all of this, only able to follow the Black Emperor's guidance, Wu Ming did not have much of a dislike for it. In fact, he was more grateful to the Black Emperor. After all, in his previous life, he was just an ordinary wage earner on that blue planet. Although in his era, technology was soaring and humanity had seen a future of unlimited energy and extended lifespan, he might not have been able to live to that time, and might not have been able to catch the last train of humanity's leap forward.

But upon arriving in this world, he found a clearer path.

Cultivate martial arts, refine your primordial spirit, overcome tribulations, prove immortality, strive for the King Realm... and ultimately aim for the Emperor Realm.

finally,
Wu Ming bowed deeply to the projection of the Black Emperor and then said, "I have come this far thanks to the guidance of Senior Black Emperor. I have no complaints. Although this path of cultivation was planned by Senior Black Emperor, it is also a path that I am willing to embark on. No matter where I end up, I will have no regrets."

The Black Emperor projection glanced at Wu Ming, nodded slightly to him, and then its figure quietly faded away and gradually disappeared.

Until the very last moment when his figure completely disappeared, the last voice rang out.

"This is the Black Emperor's Palace. Here, you can feel everything in the entire Abyss of Purgatory, and you can glimpse the true meaning of the Law of Slaughter. It can be corroborated with the Law Hall in the Demon Subduing Diagram."

"You can induce a calamity of decline here and prove immortality. Even an immortal king cannot interfere."

As the sound grew fainter, the oppressive aura of the Black Emperor's projection finally vanished completely.

Wu Ming stood there, watching the Black Emperor's projection completely dissipate. He bowed again, and when he stood up straight again, his eyes were calm and still, without any trace of confusion.

He stepped forward and came to the throne of slaughter, quietly sat down, and stared at the blood-red throne in front of him. He could vaguely sense the existence of the entire Abyss of Purgatory from it.

"Let's begin."

Wu Ming slowly closed his eyes.

He had already comprehended the second step of the Law of Slaughter. Now that he had come to the Black Emperor Palace, with the Slaughter Throne within the Black Emperor Palace and the Law Hall within the Demon Subduing Diagram mutually reinforcing each other, it wouldn't be long before he comprehended the third step of the Law of Slaughter.

……

Time flies, and a century passes in the blink of an eye.

The ripples Wu Ming stirred up in the Abyss of Purgatory did not disappear after he stepped into the Black Emperor Palace; instead, they intensified. Many Dao Saints and Martial Saints who were not yet nearing their lifespan also came upon hearing the news and entered the Abyss of Purgatory to observe the Black Emperor Palace.

Many people have tried to enter the Black Emperor's Palace in various ways, but all have failed.

After numerous failures, the various experts gathered in the Abyss of Purgatory, based on Wu Ming's safe entry, came to the conclusion that to enter the Black Emperor's Palace, one must sweep through the Abyss of Purgatory, kill wantonly like Wu Ming, and accumulate a massive amount of pure Yang blood energy in order to gain the qualification to enter the Black Emperor's Palace.

Thus, within the Abyss of Purgatory, after Wu Ming disappeared from the Black Emperor's Palace, the struggle not only did not cease, but intensified.

In contrast to the chaos within the Abyss of Purgatory, the void outside the Abyss remained peaceful. Even though more than thirty immortal beings had arrived upon hearing the news, the void remained undisturbed.

For immortal beings, a hundred years is but a blink of an eye. The appearance of the Black Emperor Palace is a major event. Even immortal beings who have grudges against each other temporarily put aside their grudges and study the majestic Black Emperor Palace.

"If Wu Ming can truly obtain the Black Emperor's inheritance, achieving immortality will be a certainty. Our Great Jin has indeed gained a great opportunity this time."

Someone whispered in the void.

Three immortal beings were seen sitting together. One was an old man in plain clothes, another was wearing a golden dragon robe with a majestic face, and the third was wearing a purple robe, elegant and beautiful. It was the old man in plain clothes who spoke.

The three of them all came from the Great Jin Dynasty and were the three immortals behind the Great Jin Holy Land.

“This child already possessed many extraordinary abilities when he was cultivating in the holy land. However, I have been in seclusion and have not known anything about him. Otherwise, I would have summoned him long ago.”

The beautiful woman in purple robes spoke in a tone reminiscent of Xihe.

Her Taoist name was Yuanzhen. She was the nineteenth ruler of the Great Jin Dynasty and later attained immortality. In terms of seniority, Wu Ming should be considered her grand-disciple, since the Qingming Peak Master was one of her disciples.

However, as an immortal being, she lived as long as heaven and earth. Over the long years, she had taken in more than a hundred disciples, but all of them eventually fell before reaching the threshold of immortality. Therefore, she did not pay special attention to her disciples except for occasionally giving them some pointers, let alone the disciples' grand-disciples.

Moreover, she had been in seclusion and knew even less about Wu Ming. In fact, several immortals of the Great Jin Dynasty had paid attention to Wu Ming, but because Wu Ming was a disciple of the Qingming Peak Master and belonged to the Yuanzhen lineage, none of them interfered.

never thought,
Wu Ming's rise to power was far beyond expectations. In just over a thousand years, he was able to sweep across the Abyss of Purgatory and even kill Dao Saints and Martial Saints at the Eighth Tribulation. Now, he has even attracted the emergence of the Black Emperor Palace, giving him the opportunity to obtain the Black Emperor's inheritance.

Based on Wu Ming's performance, they believed there was already a 30% chance he could achieve immortality. If he could obtain the Black Emperor's inheritance, that chance would increase even more. After all, Wu Ming came from the Great Jin Dynasty, and if he could achieve immortality, it would only benefit the Great Jin. They could also discuss the Dao with Wu Ming and learn some of the secrets of the Black Emperor's inheritance from him.

"This is indeed an opportunity, but it also presents considerable troubles."

The old man in plain clothes glanced lightly at the surrounding void.

The immortal beings gathered here, at least thirty of them are openly known, and there are countless others hidden in the shadows. If Wu Ming truly obtains the Black Emperor's inheritance, these immortal beings will naturally not let him go. Under these circumstances, it will be no easy task for the three of them to protect Wu Ming and help him return to the Great Jin.

Fortunately, the Great Jin Dynasty has always been united, and he had already sent the message to the other immortal beings. When Wu Ming comes out of the Black Emperor Palace, all the immortals on their side will surely be there. At that time, even if it means a bloody battle, they will bring Wu Ming back.

"Wu Ming's ability to obtain the Black Emperor's inheritance is due to his own destiny. Their attempt to take it away is nothing more than a futile effort."

The man in the dragon robe spoke coldly. (End of Chapter)
