Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

In the Starry Sacred Land, a dozen powerful individuals who had just returned from the Xuanheng Ancient Star gathered once again in the Heavenly Observation Hall.

Compared to when they left, the solemnity on everyone's faces had dissipated considerably.

Even some of the imperial clan's patriarchs had faint smiles in their eyes.

The gifts were delivered, and the new emperor accepted them.

Everything went more smoothly than they had expected.

"He should have already begun to comprehend that half of the immortal scripture."

The Supreme Ancestor of the Starry Sacred Land looked at the Ancient Mirror of Heaven.

In the mirror, the fate of the new emperor remains shrouded in darkness.

It cannot be deduced, nor can it be foreseen, but that is no longer important.

Anyone interested in the immortal scriptures will surely notice those coordinates.

An ancestor of the imperial clan nodded slightly.

"No one can resist the temptation of becoming an immortal."

"Especially those who have just attained enlightenment and already consider themselves invincible."

"He can even devour three supreme beings."

"Naturally, one would feel that the crack is no match for them either."

Smiles gradually appeared on the faces of the people around.

That crack is no secret.

The coordinates are also in the possession of those in the various forbidden zones.

Countless years have passed.

Two supreme figures from the restricted area have entered it.

In addition, there was also a peerless powerhouse at the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm who carried an Emperor weapon and also tried to find the path to immortality there.

Without exception, after entering the rift, they all completely disappeared from this vast universe.

Over time, the major powers tacitly came to regard that place as a death trap.

"Once he enters the rift, the throne of this generation will naturally become vacant again."

A supreme master of the Dao stroked his beard and smiled.

Even if he didn't die immediately.

"As long as it's impossible to return for hundreds of years."

"When the glorious era truly begins, the path to the throne may very well reappear."

The group looked at each other, their smiles growing even wider.

It seems that this suddenly appearing new emperor is not yet at a point where he cannot be dealt with.

hum!

Just then, a communication jade talisman hanging from the waist of the imperial clan's ancestor suddenly vibrated violently.

The old man frowned slightly.

What's the matter? How dare you bother me at a time like this?

He infused it with divine thought.

The smile on his face froze the next second.

"What? Say that again!"

Everyone looked at him at the same time.

From the other end of the jade talisman, a terrified voice came intermittently.

"Ancestor! Darkness... darkness is spreading!"

"The new emperor has unleashed a dark upheaval!"

The patriarch of the imperial clan suddenly stood up.

"Nonsense!"

"Isn't he still on Xuanheng Ancient Star?"

"They're out!"

"The three ancient life-bearing planets nearby are all gone!"

"Ancestor, quickly bring back the Imperial Weapon!"

The voice from the jade talisman stopped abruptly as soon as the words were spoken.

No matter how much the imperial clan ancestor urged it, it received no response whatsoever.

Before anyone could react...

hum!hum!hum!

Inside the main hall, one communication artifact after another vibrated simultaneously.

A holy man received the message.

"What is it?"

"What?! The Emperor has swallowed our holy land?!"

On the other side, the master of a supreme lineage had a grim face.

"What did you say?"

"He even said he was contributing to humanity?"

"Hundreds of thousands of my sect's disciples are gone, and you're telling me this is a contribution?!"

More news followed.

"The Emperor said that the powerful figures from all sides are too scattered, which is not conducive to concentrating forces to resist the Dark Turmoil."

"So, should we first incorporate them all into our own Great Dao?"

"No, he is the Dark Turmoil!"

"Ancestor, it's getting dark!"

"It's not dark yet, run!"

A series of terrified cries rang out simultaneously, only to be cut off one after another.

The people who were smiling just moments ago have now all stood up.

They quickly exchanged information and pieced together what had happened.

The emperor left Xuanheng Ancient Star, but he did not go to the rift.

Instead, it spread darkness from the ancient star Xuanheng to the surrounding star field, causing one after another ancient star with life to fall silent.

The branches, resource sites, and outposts established by various forces in the nearby star system also fell completely silent after the darkness passed.

All the buildings are still there, but the people inside are gone.

The Supreme Ancestor of the Starry Sky Sacred Land stared intently at the Ancient Mirror of Heaven.

The river of fate in the mirror has been completely thrown into chaos, and the light representing ancient stars of life is extinguishing at an alarming rate.

"He wasn't prepared to go to the rift, damn it! We've been tricked!!"

An elder of the imperial clan looked grim.

"Make him swallow it again."

"The entire universe will become the second Xuanheng Ancient Star!"

Someone suddenly slammed their hand on the table in front of them and smashed it to pieces.

"Summon all the strongest members of the human race!"

"Bring along all the imperial weapons, quasi-imperial weapons, and the hidden treasures of each family!"

"We can't wait any longer! This is no longer the emperor of our human race!"

"He is the greatest dark upheaval of this era!"

……

At the edge of the vast universe, in the Netherhorn Starfield, lies the territory ruled by the Netherhorn Clan.

The Darkhorn Clan are known for their powerful physique and brutal nature, with curved black horns on their heads and skin covered in gray scales.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, they have invaded the ancient paths of the human race many times.

Many human cultivators fell into their hands and were eventually enslaved as slaves and mine slaves.

Inside an ancestral temple built from countless black boulders on the ancient star of the Netherworld.

The current ancestor of the Dark Horn Clan is seated above.

"The new human emperor? Nothing special."

He held a wine glass in his hand, his tone full of disdain.

"Having just attained enlightenment, he devoured the ancient life star of his own race."

"Humans are still the same as before, best at internal strife."

The many powerful members of the Netherhorn Clan below burst into laughter.

"The so-called Human Emperor is just a title that sounds intimidating."

"When our ancestors attained the throne, they never devoured any of their own kind."

"Compared to our ancient emperors, the new human emperor is still far inferior."

The ancestor of the Dark Horn Clan nodded in satisfaction.

The Netherhorn Clan rules over a dozen ancient life-bearing planets.

The clan not only has a quasi-emperor in charge, but also preserves the formations and weapons left behind by the ancient emperor.

What does the dark turmoil of the human race have to do with them?

Just then, the light in the main hall suddenly dimmed.

The ancestor of the Mingjiao clan looked up at the outside of the hall.

"Why is it dark?"

Everyone in the hall looked at each other blankly, and no one answered.

A clansman responsible for guarding the Soul Palace rushed in with a terrified expression.

"Ancestor! The soul lamps of the eleven ancient life-bearing stars outside... have all been extinguished!"

The wine cup in the hand of the Dark Horn Clan Ancestor suddenly stopped.

"What did you say?"

"The ancient stars of Crimson Horn, Black Stone, and Heavenly Bone... have all lost contact!"

"Now, in the entire Pluto Starfield, only our ancestral star remains!"

The laughter in the hall vanished instantly.

The crowd rushed out of the ancestral hall and looked up.

Beyond the ancient star of the Netherworld, everything was already enveloped in boundless darkness.

There were no shouts of battle, nor any clash of imperial might.

Only darkness silently spreads forward, and wherever it passes, all sound vanishes.

"Activate the Ancient Emperor's Grand Array!"

The ancestor of the Dark Horn Clan roared in terror and fury.

The imperial array patterns, which had been dormant for countless years, quickly revived.

A black battle flag left behind by the ancient emperor of the Netherhorn Clan also rose from the depths of the ancestral land, and the ancient emperor's aura enveloped the entire star.

The members of the Dark Horn Clan had just breathed a sigh of relief.

A pale hand then emerged from the darkness.

Gently grasp the battle flag.

The imperial light on the flag quickly dimmed.

Then.

Along with the entire battle flag, it was dragged into darkness.

The ancestor of the Nether Horn Clan stared blankly at this scene.

"No, this is not the Human Emperor."

"How could the Human Emperor possibly..."

Darkness had descended upon the ancestral temple, and countless eyes opened from within.

The ancestor of the Dark Horn Clan began to tremble.

"It's over, my Dark Horn Clan... is going to be wiped out!"

Darkness descended, and the entire ancient star fell into complete silence.

……

After passing through more than a dozen star fields, Gu Changjin stopped.

The boundless darkness slowly contracted behind me.

Countless life origins, fundamental laws, and ancient essences were absorbed into the body.

The barrier that had blocked him for so long finally shattered completely.

Late period of the Great Emperor's reign.

Then continue upwards!

The Heavenly Emperor Seal trembled violently, but could no longer restrain his power.

boom!

An aura that completely surpassed the Emperor Realm appeared in the vast universe for the first time.

Gu Changjin slowly opened his eyes.

A celestial being in the mortal world!

According to the system of this world, above the Great Emperor is the Immortal of the Mortal World.

Above the mortal realm, there is the true immortal.

The current realm of immortals in the mortal world roughly corresponds to the level of true immortals in the main world.

Gu Changjin took out the half of the immortal scripture again.

Looking at it now, many of the parts that were originally obscure have become clear.

"It seems there really is a story behind the path to immortality."

However, Gu Changjin turned his head away.

Deep within the starry sky, powerful auras are rapidly approaching, intertwined with imperial might, and killing intent pierces the sea of ​​stars.

Those powerful figures from human imperial clans, holy lands, and supreme lineages finally arrived, bringing with them all their resources.

Gu Changjin looked at them, a smile slowly spreading across his face.

"Oh? Is this because it sensed my campaign against the alien races and has come to offer its congratulations?"
