Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 431 No Hope for Immortality, Chaos Awaits (Part 2)

The boundless power of faith from the Western Desert continuously flowed towards the Great Thunderclap Temple, causing the giant Buddha to solidify more and more.

Finally, the Amitabha Buddha Emperor's body, formed from the power of faith, carrying Mount Sumeru and the Great Thunder Temple, entered the Chaos Cave on the Path to Immortality.

All the Buddhist spiritual power in the universe converged on this moment, as Buddhism hoped to use this to break the barrier between the mortal and immortal realms and to enter the immortal realm with all its power.

Now, the entire path to immortality is constantly shaking, and the sound of endless chanting fills the air.

"boom!"

Suddenly, in the desolate forbidden land, a woman of unparalleled beauty finally made her move. She struck out with a palm, aiming directly at the chaotic cave on the path to immortality.

This peerless fairy was none other than the Ruthless Great Emperor. With a single palm strike, she easily pierced the Chaos Cave, displaying unparalleled divine power and terrifying might.

This caused the Chaos Cave to collapse continuously, enraging the ancient supreme beings who were still fighting within it.

The Stone Emperor glared angrily at the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and at the Ruthless Great Emperor, shouting, "What do you mean by this?!"

As expected of the Stone Emperor, he is indeed very powerful. So far, he doesn't seem to have suffered much loss or damage, but this is only on the surface.

The Stone Emperor then revealed his true form, covered in blood after the battle in the Chaos Cave.

However, the terrifying aura emanating from him did not diminish, and he pointed his halberd directly at the Ruthless Emperor.

The ancient supreme beings all understood that although it seemed that the Ruthless Great Emperor was attacking the path to immortality, this was not the case. The Ruthless Great Emperor was not attacking the path to immortality, but rather wanted to sever this path to immortality.

"Bang……"

All the ancient supreme beings underestimated the Ruthless Great Emperor, assuming that her situation was similar to theirs. That's why the Stone Emperor was so arrogant, pointing his halberd at the Ruthless Great Emperor.

However, the fact that the Ruthless Emperor is respectfully called a ruthless person shows that he is not someone who is easy to talk to.

Therefore, the Ruthless Emperor didn't waste any words and directly swung a palm at the Stone Emperor, striking the Stone Emperor's halberd with immense force. It was simple, direct, and extremely violent.

The terrifying impact unleashed the supreme divine power, emitting a dazzling light.

The Stone Emperor was struck by this attack and coughed up blood. He had just experienced a terrifying and brutal battle in the Chaos Cave, which was not easy for him, and he almost perished there.

However, the Stone Emperor survived thanks to his powerful strength, unlike some ancient supreme beings who perished on the path to immortality.

Now, having been severely injured by the Ruthless Great Emperor once again, the Stone Emperor's injuries have naturally worsened.

The Stone Emperor was injured again and immediately flew into a rage, saying, "Very well, although I am old and injured, I do not believe that anyone in this world can kill me."

After saying that, the Stone Emperor was about to charge at the Ruthless Great Emperor, the halberd he gripped tightly in his hand unleashing a terrifying divine power.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a terrifying explosion occurred in the Chaos Cave, and something horrific happened inside, interrupting the Stone Emperor's actions.

Amitabha!

The resounding Buddhist chant echoed throughout the heavens and earth, emanating directly from the Chaos Cave.

Endless rain of light permeated the path to immortality, ethereal and filled with a peaceful atmosphere.

However, just when countless people thought that Amitabha Buddha was about to become an immortal, another change occurred in the Chaos Cave.

"boom……"

Explosions continued to occur within that chaotic cave, and celestial light permeated the air, as if overflowing from that vast world.

"Not good, retreat!" An ancient supreme being seemed to have discovered something and quickly dodged, retreating to a safe place.

At the same time, within the Chaos Cave, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, making the already dilapidated Chaos Cave even more unbearable.

Then Mount Sumeru was seen to shatter into pieces and burst forth from the chaos.

Something terrible must have happened inside that outsiders could not know about; Mount Sumeru shattered, and most of the Great Thunderclap Temple collapsed.

"when!"

Just then, the plaque above the Great Thunderclap Temple shattered, and one of the fragments flew out from the Chaos Cave, crashing directly into the Path to Immortality with a tremendous thud.

Blood gushed from the shattered plaque fragments, staining them with the blood of all living beings, including the imperial blood of Amitabha Buddha—a truly tragic sight.

Even Buddhism has been defeated!

"Throughout the Western Desert, in the endless Buddhist kingdoms, all the Buddhist followers have perished. It's truly tragic!"

"The Buddhist sect, blessed by the thoughts of all beings in the universe, still failed in the end..."

"Is it really that difficult to become an immortal?!"

"..."

This time, even with the combined efforts of the entire Buddhist community and numerous followers, Amitabha Buddha still failed at the last step, his efforts ultimately thwarted.

In the pursuit of immortality, countless Buddhist disciples sacrificed themselves. The shattered Mount Sumeru burst forth from the Chaos Cave, covered in blood and vengeful spirits, constantly weeping.

Hundreds of millions of lives were lost, and everything became mere fantasy and illusion. Their souls ultimately transformed into resentful spirits, constantly howling.

Thus, due to Amitabha Buddha's selfishness, the Western Desert lost its former glory and became a desolate wasteland.

And that vast Buddhist kingdom, stretching for billions of miles, has lost its vitality.

The Investiture of the Gods and the Beginningless Bell, which later entered the Chaos Cave, have now vanished without a trace, and no one knows what happened inside.

The opening of the Path to Immortality this time resulted in the ancient supreme beings who ventured onto it suffering incredibly tragic and swift defeats.

At this moment, the Ruthless Great Emperor was about to strike again, intending to shatter the path to immortality and level this place.

"Stop! We are not reconciled! Even if this path is wrong, we will still try again. We would rather die on this path to immortality!" One of the unwilling supreme beings shouted.

Then the Stone Emperor loudly proclaimed, "I don't want to die, nor do I want to give up this path to immortality."

Clearly, the supreme beings who have come here do not want to give up the hope that is within reach; this is the expectation they have waited for for countless ages.

The Ruthless Great Emperor was also momentarily lost in confusion. His eyes seemed devoid of light, as if he were a fairy without a soul.

Then, the Ruthless Emperor recovered, his face cold and indifferent. He did not attack the Path to Immortality again, but just watched coldly.

"You've all seen this, haven't you? This is the path to immortality. Look closely, our law, our way, our path, is right here..."

An ancient supreme being let out a deafening roar that echoed into the depths of the universe. Then, he resolutely rushed into the Chaos Cave, wanting to make one last desperate attempt.

"kill!"

With the ancient supreme beings continuing their battle, and then the ancient emperors also rushing in, becoming immortals had become their obsession. Even if there was only a sliver of hope, they did not want to give up.

"Becoming an immortal is something that, even if it's like a moth drawn to a flame, cannot sever my resolve. Though I'm unwilling, I have no regrets. Now that I've embarked on the path to immortality, and I'm still alive, I must continue forward..."

"This life, this lifetime, the eternal wait, all for becoming an immortal, all for this moment!"

"Ah, what is there to fear in death? Let me use the last embers of my life to test this method of achieving immortality!"

"My path, my law, will blossom at this moment..."

Becoming an immortal became a tragic song that severed all ages, requiring a bloody price.

However, this path to immortality is ultimately a trap, a shocking trap set by the Undying Emperor for the flesh and blood of the Supreme Being. All the ancient supreme beings who come to try to become immortals will ultimately fail.

Even a supreme being, powerful as he is, cannot ultimately change anything. He is destined to wait for countless ages, and everything will eventually become an illusion.

These ancient supreme beings, who embodied darkness, will ultimately become a group of losers, and all will come to naught.

Their fate was sealed the moment they became the largest strange creatures in the universe.

These dark sovereigns, who see no way forward, have lost their desire to seek the Dao and yearn for the appearance of the path to immortality, choosing instead to take that unpredictable shortcut.

Unfortunately, throughout history, how many people have actually succeeded in traversing the path to immortality and entering the immortal realm?

Perhaps, it was only through some unknown method that the Great Emperor Wushi entered that strange world that he was able to live on.

However, even the Great Emperor Wushi had never truly seen the Immortal Realm, and was always in the strange world, fighting against the Undying Emperor.

The path to immortality, though sometimes real and sometimes fake, gives people endless hope. Unfortunately, even if it were a real path to immortality, only two or three people could actually enter it.

In the universe of Shrouding the Heavens, even if the path to immortality truly appeared for dozens or hundreds of Dark Sovereigns, they would probably beat the dogs to a pulp.

However, these are things that those ancient supreme beings did not know. When they attained enlightenment, their path had already gone astray.

Although it is difficult to live a second life in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, as long as you find the right method and the right path, there is hope for success.

Even if one encounters tremendous difficulties along the way, for someone steadfast in their pursuit of the truth, these are nothing.

Unfortunately, those who cannot see the road ahead no longer have the same firm resolve as before.

They felt that since there was no hope of becoming an immortal, they could only pin their hopes on the path to immortality.

"My journey has come to an end; let me return to this world!"

An ancient supreme being spoke loudly, with unparalleled nonchalance; however, behind this nonchalance lay endless helplessness.

The ancient supreme being, long since exhausted and devoid of any life force, with his primordial spirit decaying and his altar broken, had reached the final moment of his life.

In the end, it could only transform into the Tao and return to this world. Perhaps, this was its final destination.

"puff!"

Then there was the Supreme Being, who, before he could even utter his last words, exploded into a pile of blood and bones, and finally departed with the Dao.

"Roar!" The Qilin Emperor roared in fury, his voice filled with resentment and helplessness.

Finally, the Qilin Emperor pierced through the void and headed towards the depths of the universe.

The once mighty Qilin Ancient Emperor is now covered in blood, leaving behind a trail of crimson footprints. His body sways incessantly, his imperial blood flowing as he continues his journey towards the outer starry sky.

"Father!"

Huo Lin'er looked at the Qilin Ancient Emperor and cried out anxiously, her voice filled with sorrow and heartbreak. She rushed over and threw herself onto the blood-covered Qilin Ancient Emperor.

This ancient Qilin emperor, in the end, still failed to become an immortal; how tragic and pitiful!

Finally, after settling his two children, the Qilin Ancient Emperor left behind his ancient imperial weapon and once again headed into the depths of the universe.

The Qilin Ancient Emperor was one of the few ancient supreme beings in those forbidden zones of life who had never launched a dark upheaval. Even though he was about to perish and return to the world, he did not intend to become the source of the dark upheaval.

After settling his family on Earth, Yuan Changqing immediately visited the quasi-emperor level experts who were cultivating there, and told them that the universe was about to enter another period of darkness and turmoil.

Subsequently, Yuan Changqing also hurriedly returned to Beidou, after all, Gai Jiuyou wanted to take advantage of the ancient supreme being's journey to immortality and undergo the Great Emperor's tribulation.

Yuan Changqing also knew that the path to immortality would ultimately fail, and the universe would once again be plunged into a dark and chaotic upheaval.

At that time, those ancient supreme beings who survived the path to immortality would definitely target Gai Jiuyou in order to stay alive.

Therefore, Yuan Changqing returned to Beidou again so that he could help Gai Jiuyou hold off the enemy for a while.

Seeing the Qilin Ancient Emperor enter the depths of the universe, Yuan Changqing followed directly there.

"Does the ancient emperor really want to die quietly like this? Is that enough?" Yuan Changqing's voice rang out behind the Qilin Ancient Emperor.

"What can I do if I'm unwilling? Perhaps my fate has already been sealed. I cannot become an immortal, and my days are numbered. Even if I live in this world, what good will it do?" The Ancient Emperor of the Qilin stopped, turned around and looked at Yuan Changqing, and said calmly.

Then, with some surprise, he said, "You humans are truly gifted. At such a young age, you possess such strength. Humans, indeed, are worthy of being the darlings of heaven and earth."

"Dark turmoil is coming. Instead of finding a hiding place while you still have time, why are you chasing after this dying old man? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you and prolong my life?!"

Yuan Changqing smiled faintly and said, "Ancient Emperor, I know some things about you. If you really wanted to become darkness like those Dark Sovereigns, you wouldn't have come to this depths of the void alone."

"As for your suggestion to kill me, I am confident that I have the means to survive."

"The reason I came to find you this time is because I admire your character. Perhaps I can let you live, and it's not impossible for you to become an immortal in the future."

"Oh!" The Qilin Ancient Emperor said with surprise, "You human, at such a young age, you dare to speak such big words. You're either crazy or you're a very capable person."

"Since that's the case, then tell me, how do you want me to live, and how do you want me to become an immortal?"

Clearly, the Ancient Emperor of Qilin did not believe Yuan Changqing's words. He had not even reached the Supreme level yet, how dare he make such boastful claims?

If becoming an immortal were so easy, there wouldn't be so many ancient supreme beings who wasted so many years.

Even the Qilin Ancient Emperor himself was in the same situation; his strength had long been at the pinnacle of this world, and his path forward was blocked.

This attempt to ascend to immortality is the best proof of that, but unfortunately, it ultimately failed.

However, the immortality that Yuan Changqing spoke of was so simple that it seemed like a fantasy.

Yuan Changqing added, "It seems the ancient emperor doesn't really believe me, thinking I'm just spouting nonsense."

"However, I must say that the Ancient Emperor's path to immortality has long been wrong. I wonder if the Ancient Emperor believes this."

The Ancient Emperor Qilin fell silent, muttering to himself, "Was I wrong? Was I really wrong? And where did I go wrong?"

As if asking himself a question, Yuan Changqing then took over the conversation, saying, "That's right, you have indeed taken the wrong path. You yourself know that becoming an immortal is not easy."

"Then how could one possibly become an immortal through a simple path to immortality!"

"Besides, even if the path to immortality is real, would the ancient emperor really believe that he could become an immortal?"

The Ancient Emperor Qilin's eyes widened immediately, and he asked, "Isn't that so? Are there some other requirements for becoming an immortal?"

Looking at the appearance of the Qilin Ancient Emperor, Yuan Changqing shook his head and said, "It seems that the Ancient Emperor's obsession with becoming an immortal is too deep. Immortal is just like the Ancient Emperor, which is only at the same level."

"However, is it really that simple? I suppose the ancient emperors should know that even if one cultivates to the level of an ancient emperor, it is only the ultimate realm of humanity."

"Then how could one easily cultivate to the realm of immortals? Without the corresponding level of cultivation and without comprehending the laws of immortality, how could one possibly become an immortal?"

"You must understand, the gap between immortals and mortals is enormous. What does the Ancient Emperor think?"

At this moment, the Qilin Ancient Emperor's eyes gleamed, as if he had figured something out, and he asked again: "Then how should one become an immortal? You must know that even an ancient emperor only lives for about ten thousand years. How could there be time to comprehend the laws of immortality in such a short time?"

When the Ancient Emperor Qilin said this, it was clear that he was discouraged by the vast gap between immortality and ascension.

Yuan Changqing continued, "The ancient emperor is too persistent. You have lived for such a long time and are a supreme expert. You should know a way to continue living."

"Of course, those beings who embody darkness have already had their fate sealed. They have long been rejected by heaven and earth and no longer have the qualifications to become immortals."

"That's why I came here to find the ancient emperor. At least, you still have hope of becoming an immortal."

"Furthermore, the ancient emperor had actually already seen someone who was about to become an immortal, but he simply didn't realize it!"

Yuan Changqing's words startled the Ancient Emperor Qilin. There was already someone on the path to immortality, and he had even seen him. This made the Ancient Emperor Qilin's heart almost jump out of his chest.

The Ancient Emperor Qilin said, "Who is it? Tell me quickly who it is! What do you know? And how do you know so much?"

Yuan Changqing glanced at the Qilin Ancient Emperor indifferently and said, "As for how I know, don't ask. Just say you don't know."

"All I can tell you is that in this universe, there are already a few people who have embarked on their own path to immortality, and they have found their way forward."

"Moreover, I can tell you that the path to immortality in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land is actually a shocking trap set up by someone."

"You even know that person; he is none other than your ancient clan's god, the Undying Emperor, that bastard chicken."

"The traps set up by the Immortal Emperor on the path to immortality were all for obtaining the flesh and blood of beings like you, so that he could continuously transform and thus achieve immortality."

"Hearing this might seem ridiculous, but unfortunately, it's the truth."

The Ancient Emperor Qilin was at a loss for words, his heart filled with sorrow. He never imagined that things would turn out this way.
