Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 191 The Ruthless Man's Secret History
Listening to Ye Fan's questioning of Nangong Daneng, Qin Sheng didn't know how to answer him.

He had nothing more to say.

"Your Highness, have you ever heard of the Bronze Immortal Palace?" Ye Fan asked the monkey again.

The Holy Prince pondered carefully and said uncertainly, "My father seems to have mentioned that the place is very mysterious, but I don't know the specifics."

"So this thing existed in ancient times." Ye Fan was somewhat surprised.

“Older than the Primordial Era,” Qin Sheng replied.

"how do you know?"

"I've done some calculations," Qin Sheng explained.

"The Fighting Saint Emperor was invincible in the late Primordial Era. He could go anywhere in the world. Even he found it mysterious and unfathomable. It could not have been left behind by other Primordial Emperors. It could only be a product of a much more distant period."

Even something like the Divine Soul Pool wouldn't be something the Fighting Saint Emperor would fear; the old monkey's combat power is truly astonishing.

Ancient emperors, the pinnacle of humanity, there are very few things in the world they cannot comprehend, they can be counted on one hand.

Those few things, in the eyes of the ancient emperors, were proof of the existence of "immortals".

"What blood is on the Gate of All Wonders?" someone asked Nangong Zheng.

Master Nangong shook his head. "Nobody knows. Some seniors tried to collect some blood, but they were instantly annihilated the moment they touched it."

Qin Sheng gave this group a thumbs up.

It takes great courage for a powerful being to collect the Emperor's blood; no wonder he's a teammate of the Great Immortal Nangong.

The blood of the Gate of All Wonders is different from that of Lao Qing's heart, which has been stripped of its killing power and might.

"There has never been a true immortal descending to earth, let alone shedding immortal blood. Therefore, some seniors have speculated that it might be the blood of a great emperor."

In fact, a single drop of a saint's blood could annihilate a powerful being, but when the Great Immortal Nangong led the team to the Bronze Immortal Palace dungeon, there wasn't a single well-known saint in the Eastern Wilderness; the saintly might had been forgotten for far too long.

“We overheard a few lines of ancient scripture outside the door, and before we knew it, we were drawn in and entered the gate of all wonders,” Nangong Zheng said.

Someone couldn't wait to ask: "Behind the Gate of All Wonders, is there an immortal?"

Qin Sheng felt that it wasn't really a problem to say that the place was related to immortals.

The ruthless person was undergoing a transformation towards the fourth incarnation, and was nearly halfway through the path to immortality in the mortal world. To ordinary people, what difference was there between this and an immortal?

"What is an immortal?" the little girl asked.

Qin Sheng wiped the peach juice from the corner of her mouth and said:
"Nannan is a little fairy."

"Behind the gate lies not immortality, but hell," said the Great Immortal Nangong in a low voice.

"The world behind the door was filled with an aura that was so terrifying that many seniors could not withstand it and were crushed to pieces."

Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly shocked, and some even exclaimed in surprise.

"My God, those are living fossils from the invincible Eastern Wilderness!"

"I know someone who fought his way in and out of the Demon Emperor's Tomb seven times, and even the Supreme Demon Emperor couldn't take his life, yet he died so easily in the Bronze Immortal Palace?"

Qin Sheng: "..."

Qingdi, look at them.

"What kind of being left behind that aura?"

"Ruthless Emperor." Nangong Zheng uttered these four words, which shook the ages and silenced even the Heavenly Palace, sending chills down everyone's spines.

These are absolutely terrifying and chilling words; even just hearing the name is enough to make people fall silent.

More than 200,000 years have passed, and the name of the Ruthless Great Emperor is still taboo, because what he did back then was too horrifying.

Other emperors, though they also fought their way into that realm, had many enemies, but also friends and those with whom they had only casual relationships.

Even the tragically fated ancient emperor had family, friends, and loved ones, even though they were all killed...

But the Ruthless Great Emperor is different. This Great Emperor is truly the enemy of the world. He faces the entire world alone, with no one by his side to accompany him, and he kills his way across the land.

Compared to that, Ye Fan's current experiences are nothing; they are not bitter enough, nor are they dangerous enough.

Qin Sheng commented on this: "My sister is too kind-hearted."

But it's alright, my sister is kind-hearted, I'll help!
Ye Fan was listening intently when suddenly his mind went blank, and he had a bad premonition. He transmitted his voice to Qin Sheng:

“Immortal Qin, I suddenly have a feeling that someone might be plotting against me.”

"It's okay, I'm here."

Ye Fan felt relieved; things were settled.

"How is that possible? The Ruthless Great Emperor lived more than 200,000 years ago!" someone questioned, their voice trembling unconsciously.

The monkey, however, showed no fear on its face, except for some surprise at hearing about the Great Emperor.

What Ruthless Emperor? Never heard of him. My father is invincible!

The Holy Prince was sealed away before he was three years old, and for him at that age, his father's image was at its greatest.

“It wasn’t the living Ruthless Emperor. We only found a few pieces of his body.” Nangong Zheng shook his head.

The Ruthless Great Emperor was already very mysterious, and everything about him had been deliberately erased by later generations. The people of the Eastern Wilderness today don't even know if he was male or female.

Ye Fan complained, "This powerful Nangong even speaks with a heavy sigh. But the fact that there are fragments of an emperor's corpse inside the Bronze Immortal Palace is rather terrifying."

Hearing this, Ye Fan no longer believed that the dangers Nangong had encountered were just bragging.

"Dismemberment of the Emperor?!"

"Even the complete imperial body was not left behind. Was the Ruthless Great Emperor dismembered?"

Qin Sheng nodded secretly. He had indeed been dismembered, his body torn to pieces by explosions. It was a terrible sight.

Moreover, the world behind the Gate of All Wonders contains a lot of blood, just like the blood of the character "仙" (immortal), the two are of the same origin.

"The Emperor is invincible, how could he be killed? I don't believe it."

"But if it were the Ruthless Great Emperor, his being killed might actually be..."

The man didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant: the infamous Ruthless Emperor was killed, and it must be retribution.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, how did you determine that it was the Ruthless Great Emperor?"

"We found a ghost face mark in the world behind the door, neither crying nor laughing, and it will never be destroyed." Nangong Zheng was certainly not making this up.

This mark is the symbol of the Ruthless Great Emperor.

"Furthermore, there are traces of secluded life there. Most importantly, an immortal herb was once planted in the world behind the door. It is the True Dragon Immortal Herb."

"All this information combined is enough to prove his identity; the Ruthless Great Emperor did indeed die in the Immortal Palace."

Ye Fan was stunned. He had almost captured the True Dragon Divine Medicine, but he never expected that this thing actually belonged to the Ruthless Great Emperor more than 200,000 years ago.

Furthermore, having also visited the Bronze Immortal Palace, Ye Fan realized that he seemed to have formed a great karmic connection with this emperor.

Will there be any problem?
Qin Sheng's heart skipped a beat when he saw the little girl, who had been engrossed in eating peaches, suddenly raise her head.

Some people are telling stories, while others are looking in the mirror.

"Nannan, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." The little girl touched her tummy and smiled shyly.

"Nannan is a little too full." Qin Sheng: "..."

The others were also convinced by Nangong Zheng and believed that it was the fragments of the Ruthless Great Emperor, which they all found unbelievable.

How could a great emperor be killed, and so tragically at that?

"Could it be that someone launched a sneak attack on the Ruthless Great Emperor?"

"Absurd! The difference in strength between an un-cultivated Daoist and a Great Emperor is enormous. Even a sneak attack could not kill a Great Emperor unless he possesses a celestial artifact!"

Qin Sheng's heart stirred. It seemed that the Undying Emperor had never ambushed the ruthless person. Logically speaking, if he could bathe in the true blood of a Heavenly Emperor-level figure, it would surely bring him endless benefits.

As for whether it's because he's afraid of ruthless people who are unafraid of death?

This might be possible in other worlds, but this is Shrouding the Heavens.

"In addition, there is other evidence that can prove the identity of the corpse. I wonder if Yaochi and the Ji family could tell us about what happened 70,000 years ago?"

Nangong Zheng said, "Back then, someone carried a celestial corpse out of the Bronze Immortal Palace. Now it seems that the celestial corpse and the remaining body parts inside are one. You should know something about it."

Seventy thousand years ago, an invincible master from the Eastern Wilderness, whose power was unmatched, entered the Bronze Immortal Palace. He brought out a very mutilated corpse, a terrifying sight.

The expert had barely stepped out of the Immortal Palace when he was annihilated by the aura of the remaining corpse, turning into a pool of blood and gore.

Later, the remains were divided among the Ji family, the Jiang family, Yaochi, Yaoguang, the Feng clan, and the already destroyed Tianxuan Six Directions, with each family receiving a portion of the remains.

This incident also shows that the overall strength and foundation of these six forces far surpass those of other holy lands, and other sects are simply not qualified to participate in the division of the "immortal corpses".

"We initially thought it was a celestial corpse, but we gradually realized it wasn't. It should be an imperial corpse, and only about one-third of the complete body," said the Holy Master of the Ji family.
"Now, considering the information that Brother Nangong brought out, it seems that it is the corpse of the Ruthless Great Emperor."

"The Emperor's Corpse, I wonder how much benefit the Ji family gained from it."

"Perhaps he has already accumulated the foundation to become a great emperor."

Qin Sheng was deeply shocked.

Dividing up the Emperor's remains and extracting profits from them—that's the style of our older generation of "Covering the Sky" people.

No wonder the Great Moon dared to forcibly seize the Imperial Weapon; it turns out it's due to its family tradition.

But could Tianxuan's rush into the desolate ancient forbidden land be related to the imperial corpse they received?
Nangong Zheng exchanged some information with the Ji family and concluded by saying:
"The Ruthless Emperor might not have been killed, but rather his own problems led him to live more than two lives; he must have lived at least a third!"

"Impossible!" someone instinctively retorted.

"What?!" The Holy Prince was utterly shocked, far more so than the others.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Ye Fan asked.

"How could anyone live three lifetimes? My father only lived one lifetime." The Holy Prince couldn't believe that the human emperor of the future could achieve this.

Due to some special reasons, the Fighting Saint Emperor used up his chance to extend his life with the Elixir of Immortality before he attained enlightenment, which resulted in him only being a Saint Emperor for one lifetime and failing to unlock his second lifetime as an emperor.

This is undoubtedly a great pity.

"The Ruthless Emperor is special, and what Nangong Da Neng said makes a lot of sense."

Qin Sheng publicly stated, "The limited information about this great emperor should not be a secret to anyone present."

"In his later years, the Ruthless Great Emperor created the Undying Heavenly Art, using it to break his demonic body, give birth to a divine fetus, and successfully live out his second life. Note that this did not consume the Divine Elixir of Immortality."

Ruthless Man is the only person who created two Imperial Scriptures before embarking on the path to immortality in the mortal world, and the two scriptures are completely different, not just the same thing in a different guise.

Before Ye Fan, looking at all the immortals in the mortal world across the various eras of Shrouding the Heavens, if we only compare the combat power of the second generation, then the ruthless man of the second generation was definitely the strongest contender for the number one position.

In her second life, she not only transformed her chaotic body to its most perfect state, but more importantly, she lived out her next life on her own initiative, which is terrifying.

It should be noted that in his later years, he created the Undying Heavenly Art, but before he could transform, the ruthless man had already reigned supreme over the world, with no one in the world capable of defeating him.

This "invincible" doesn't mean he can fight a quasi-emperor or anything like that.

With the Chaos Body and the Second Rebirth, her combat power will inevitably reach an incredible level.

Qin Sheng's words reminded the heroes of the Heavenly Palace, and some of them showed expressions of horror.

"Dongxian is right. The elixir of immortality can extend the life of an emperor for one lifetime. The Ruthless Great Emperor did not use the elixir to start his second life. Therefore, in his later years in his second life, he will be able to live out his third life directly with the help of the elixir of immortality!"

"This is an emperor who has lived for at least three lifetimes; he is practically a god!"

"No, if that's the case, when the Great Emperor after the Ruthless Great Emperor attained enlightenment, he must still be alive! My God, the ancient rule that Great Emperors never meet each other has already been broken!"

"..."

The topics discussed in the Heavenly Palace today, and the historical truths that have been restored, are enough to shake the ages and will surely leave an indelible mark on history.

Everyone was deeply moved.

The Holy Prince remained silent for a long time before letting out a soft sigh.

"Such an existence really exists... However, living a long time does not necessarily mean that one's combat power can surpass that of other emperors and sovereigns. My father was invincible for his entire life."

Qin Sheng glanced at the monkey, then patted the head of the little girl who had started eating peaches again.

"Big brother, do you want to eat?" The little girl held up a peach.

"Nannan, eat up, eat more."

"Ok!"

The little girl focused on eating, which finally made her seem like she was attending the grand Jade Pool gathering. But after a few breaths, she suddenly looked up and asked:

"Big brother, that ruthless emperor, who lived through three lifetimes, did he have a very long lifespan?"

"It must be very long, maybe even 100,000 years in total."

Ye Fan's first and second lives combined total around 50,000 years, so a ruthless person's chaotic body couldn't be weak.

Little Nannan: "Then I hope that big brother and brother can live that long and stay with Nannan forever!"

Qin Sheng was slightly taken aback, then smiled and nodded.

"We will live on."

Ye Fan smiled, but he lacked confidence at the moment.

"That was a great emperor, someone no one else could compare to."

The little girl shook her head, "You are definitely no worse than that emperor!"

What ruthless people are has nothing to do with my daughter.

"Objectively speaking, the Ruthless Great Emperor is truly a genius. He lived a second life without relying on the elixir of immortality. He is probably the only one in history to achieve this."

Qin Sheng exclaimed, "This is undoubtedly a very difficult thing, but the Ruthless Great Emperor did it. He is truly amazing and not easy to do."

No one else could refute this, as the Ji family, the Jiang family, and Yaochi all knew about the lifespan of their respective ancestors.

Ye Fan transmitted his voice: "Aren't you worried that people will spread rumors about you when you describe the Ruthless Great Emperor like that?"

"Just telling the truth," Qin Sheng replied telepathically.
"In such a vast Eastern Wilderness, it's impossible not to tell people the truth, right? I've always been a proponent of freedom of speech. Letting people speak won't cause the sky to fall."

"The one I admire most is the Ruthless Great Emperor."

These people only know how to slander my sister, unlike me, who only praises her.
