Perfect Double Agent

The resemblance was so striking that he almost believed the master had an illegitimate child left behind in the world.

Is this possible? Obviously not. The main body has been sacrificed again and again throughout the long river of time, countless times throughout history and into the future. No one can escape it. Even if there were illegitimate children, they would have been buried long ago. How could they possibly end up in this era?

The shadowy figure shook his head, no longer paying attention to Shi Hao. His gaze passed through the mountain and looked at the roots of the big tree, where thousands of roots, like a net or mysterious patterns, were wrapped in a faint light, seemingly having lasted for many years.

This is the path to the ultimate goal. The other party already possessed this strength, so it's not surprising that he's gotten this far. This is also why he looks at him differently.

This child possesses the talent to surpass even the highest level of sacrificial arts, and the ability to shake the past, present, and future. Unfortunately, his mindset, like his talent, is too detached, which is why he fell ill.

His illness was still mild at the moment, and compared to him, an old patient, he could still turn back. He thought about it for a long time, but in the end he couldn't bear to see a promising young man follow in his footsteps, become disillusioned with life, and ultimately commit suicide by self-immolation, ending his life.

This is the effect of Bai Ye's reverse healing. The black shadow thought it was a thought, but at that level, all thoughts and all shadows are itself, so there is no distinction between primary and secondary.

Even the shadowy figure didn't notice this. He himself became clearer and clearer, and thought about more and more things. Perhaps he had noticed it long ago, but he was unwilling to admit it. Instead, he reappeared in the world under the banner of encouraging the younger generation.

The most powerful person in the world is none other than the Master of the Copper Coffin, and the most contradictory person in the world is also the Master of the Copper Coffin.

Tianxian Mountain was quiet. Some people noticed Huang's arrival but did not disturb him. Even Wushang, who had been guarding the mountainside, only raised his eyes briefly before closing them again.

Time flowed slowly here. Shi Hao sat cross-legged for several years, witnessing the withered tree turn into ashes and scatter on the spot, like soil. Then he chose to leave, not wanting to disturb Brother Ye's transformation.

But after he left, the shadow reappeared.

He somehow acquired a jug of old wine, sat before the ashes, and even his shadow was no longer black, but gray, as if he were wearing a gray linen coat.

This is an astonishing transformation. If pollen could see it, it would be a huge surprise. No matter how you look at it, the bronze coffin master seems to have come back to life.

“Young friend, I don’t like to look into the future, and I don’t know where you will end up, but the most valuable thing is to persevere. If we initially believe it to be true, then it will definitely be true in the future. Like young friend Huang, who has always believed without a doubt.”

The old man in gray took a sip of wine, like an elderly neighbor living alone, unable to bear the loneliness, and couldn't help but chat with someone for a few more minutes.

"Through you, I saw my former self, which made me think a lot. Just like my friend said, being too powerful is not good. There is no one to compare with, no one to stand shoulder to shoulder with. Searching all over the world, all I find is loneliness that no one can understand."

As time goes by, one loses the feelings one had for those around them and the initial expectations for the world. Just like you, standing at the highest peak in the world today, it is inevitable that the invincible will be lonely without comparisons with others of the same level. It is also inevitable that one's Dao heart will become unbalanced.

Ultimately, we are too strong, so strong that everything in this world seems like a mirage. If one day you, young friend, can reach my level, perhaps we can walk side by side and continue exploring the path ahead.

The man in gray sighed deeply, unsure whether he was comforting the man or using him to comfort himself.

Ever since this young friend came to bother him with his flowers last time, he has been unable to remain calm. Perhaps he doesn't want to leave this world completely, but is waiting for someone to travel with him.

Actually, it was mentioned in the second side story, so it's not surprising that the Copper Coffin Master did not completely sacrifice himself; some of his spirit remained in the world.

No one noticed the commotion on this side, but on the other side, Shi Hao, who had just left, suddenly felt a tightness in his heart. He was being targeted, and an overwhelming malice was approaching.

"The progenitor?!"

"Have they finally lost their temper?!"

Shi Hao tore through the void and left quickly. He had long guessed that the ten people had ill intentions. The so-called ceasefire and the duel between their own people were all excuses. Given their ruthlessness, the reason they hadn't made a move was because they were not prepared. Once they felt the time was right, they would definitely make the first move.

Now that day has finally come.

"boom!"

A gigantic spiked club appeared first, its immense size causing it to crash down behind him, shattering countless universes in an instant.

Ahead, the sky was ablaze with crimson light, and a celestial halberd cleaved everything in its path, slicing through the past and present. The dazzling light of slaughter threatened to engulf the entire river of time.

However, this was just the beginning. Later, a greatsword, a stone club, and a spear all fell at once, aiming to kill him in time and space.

"Back then, we chased them everywhere, and now they're making them run away in such a sorry state?"

Shi Hao remained silent. This was an unprecedented calamity, targeting him. Five Ancestors had been mobilized. Clearly, the reason the other side dared not mobilize all of them was because they were afraid of waking up Brother Ye and fearing that the ambush would fail.

But these people underestimated him. There is more than just night in the world; there is also desolation. This confidence came from the bottom of his heart, and it was his indomitable will.

"Boom!"

A blinding light erupted from Shi Hao in an instant, with endless thunder and boundless destructive aura. Accompanied by the spread of great power, the blood energy fluctuating on his physical body was like a raging torrent, stirring up the past, present, and future!

Even more terrifying was that behind him were countless figures, each one of them himself, standing together in the world beyond, overlooking the past and present. Some were forming thunderous fist imprints, some were unleashing unparalleled sword light, and all of them rushed forward to kill. That terrifying power swept through and instantly engulfed the ancestors who were blocking their way.

"boom!"

The otherworldly land instantly erupted into chaos, spacetime collapsed continuously, and a terrifying light of destruction spread. In an instant, the movement there shook the foundations of ancient history and affected the stability of the present world.

"Ah!" A progenitor screamed, covered in blood. He was in a terrible state, his head pierced by the sword light and his chest shattered by the thunder fist. His body was unsteady. But the worst off was not him, but the person in the middle who had actually killed him and disappeared from here.

"shortage!"

The remaining four were shocked. They hadn't expected Huang to grow so fast, possessing the strength to instantly kill one of them. However, they could see that Huang was still far behind Ye, and this kind of killing was not eternal silence.

"Don't let him get away, kill him!"

The progenitors were both shocked and furious. Only now did they begin to take it seriously. The untamed, free-spirited one was also a great scourge, posing too great a threat. The combat power and destructive force it generated were too terrifying. At this stage, no one could stop him alone.

"Then I'll kill you all first, and when Brother Ye recovers and we conquer the plateau, I'll take your heads!" Although Shi Hao was on the run, he was still forceful. Today, he wanted to make these people understand what fear was.

Chapter 724 Time and Space Eternal, I Am Everlasting

The outbreak of war was not surprising. How could the plateau allow them to grow up in peace? In the words of a Taoist patriarch, times have changed. It is no longer possible to sleep for eternity and wake up to find the world unchanged.

It's more like a million-year nap, and when you wake up, you might find yourself surrounded by a bunch of Dao Ancestors.

In the past, who could have imagined that Bai and Huang would reach a level they never dared to dream of in their entire lives within a few million years? If it was like that for them, it was also like that for the plateau. It was as if, without them noticing, the next Sacrificial Dao would be secretly born.

Nine emperors appeared in the sky, their might overwhelming the heavens, towering above the heavens. Black energy blotted out the sun and the sky. Behind those nine supreme figures, a vast army stretched out in an endless expanse.

"Is this all the strength you have, you rats? You can't even fill the tenth man?"

"Don't be arrogant, we are not invincible."

It was a man with one body and two heads. They were like two-headed monsters, not completely fused together, but his aura was astonishing, making even the Black Emperor frown.

The most terrifying thing is that, right after them, another Immortal Emperor ascended into the sky: Wu Shang, Mie Shi, Gu, Yu Di, and Bai Di's daughter, making a total of five.

Even on the other side, seven or eight more rose up, including Luo, Menghai, Liushu, and others.

One after another, the Dark Dao Ancestors felt their mouths go dry and couldn't help but swallow their saliva. The clusters of dazzling imperial radiance were simply too dazzling, and their number had exceeded that of the plateau for the first time in history, which shocked and unsettled them.

It has to be said that the number of players can easily put psychological pressure on the side with fewer players before the fight even starts, thus lowering their morale.

"Defeat them and launch a counterattack on the plateau!"

With a command from a Celestial Emperor, the army surged forth, the dull war drums beat, the ancient horns echoed, and the blood-stained banners waved.

This is a war that all living beings have been waiting for, a war that concerns their future and the heavens.

"My lads, follow Princess Qingwei and annihilate them!" a Dao Ancestor roared, shaking the surrounding area.

"Roar! This dragon is going to take on five!"

A purple dragon roared through the densely packed creatures, its purple aura soaring to the heavens. On its other side, a true phoenix, its blood energy surging, its wings blood-red and vivid, was exceptionally dazzling.

Even the witch and Qingyi appeared on the battlefield; this was a war for everyone, and no one was exempt.

"Has the desert still not been resolved?"

Five ancestral figures stood on the plateau, with five ancient coffins connected behind them. They did not care about the war of the heavens; what truly affected the battle was the wilderness.

"Let's join forces and send him on his way."

In just a moment, the other five returned, together with the five on the plateau, like ten invincible figures who have never changed since ancient times, their bodies towering into the world beyond.

"boom!"

Endless spacetime is cracking open, and the light of darkness obscures the past, present, and future. Its terrifying power seems to overturn the ages and start all over again.

Shi Hao was the most alert. He was locked on again. Ten blurry, vast shadows came from outside space and time, about to descend upon this universe and deliver a fatal blow to him.

"Ten people?"

Shi Hao's face darkened, which meant that the other party no longer had any scruples and wanted to eliminate him completely first.

"You bunch of cowards, you have to send all your forces to deal with me?!"

Countless Shi Haos reappeared, imprinted in the void, manifesting all around. There were too many of them to count. Then they merged with him, and with a single sword strike, they pierced through eternity, illuminating time and space, instantly passing through the universe, directly piercing a shadow and annihilating it.

"Useless."

The destroyed progenitor was resurrected and reappeared. Together with nine others, they attacked, pressing down and collapsing everything, shattering everything. Even Shi Hao began to disintegrate.

It's not that he's not strong, but that he hasn't reached his peak yet. He can handle two or three people, but he's no match for more than that.

"This is the difference between you and us, Huang. Accept reality. You have nowhere to escape in this world."

It's shameless. Ten people are bullying him, and he's full of a sense of superiority. But in fact, he can't escape. He can regroup once or ten times, but he can't keep regrouping forever.

"Brother Ye, wake up quickly. You can't bear to see your brother get beaten up alone, can you?"

It wasn't just him who was worried; countless beings in the heavens were also concerned. The start of the great war was inseparable from one person. If that person didn't stop the progenitor, no matter how much they defeated the plateau army, it would be useless.

"Look, isn't that the Desolate Emperor...?"

Suddenly, someone pointed to the secluded world in the east, where a huge fireball fell from the sky and headed towards the sacrificial sea. It was vaguely visible that inside the fireball was a figure covered in tragically beautiful blood. His blood was so red that it stained the long river and illuminated that space and sea, making it impossible not to notice.

"Is the Heavenly Emperor about to collapse...?" Many people's hearts clenched suddenly. It wasn't that the Heavenly Emperor was weak, but rather that he had too many enemies to deal with.

But the Desolate Emperor did not back down. He steadied himself and stood on the sea, his back view lonely and resolute. After only a brief pause, he once again charged into the unknown world.

"Where is Baidi... The great war cannot be without you..."

Many people are praying, hoping that the peerless emperor can hear them. Looking back, he was once the Heavenly Emperor, and the leader of many emperors.

"White Emperor, the world needs you, and Heaven needs you... Please awaken and lead us in battle..."

One murmur after another, wave after wave of faith, like an endless river, flowed from the void, from heaven and earth, toward the Celestial Mountain.

At this moment, on Tianxian Mountain, the gray figure had disappeared, and even the ashes on the ground had long since turned into dust.

The multitude murmured, all spirits prayed; it was an incomparably devout power, the purest spiritual power in a person's heart. Even the pollen couldn't help but turn back. Her strength had greatly improved, but she hadn't reached the point where she could perform a sacrificial ceremony. However, with her cultivation of the three paths simultaneously, she was almost invincible among the Immortal Emperors, and even her opponents were suppressed.

"Infant, are you underestimating me? Back in the day, when I was exchanging sparring and discussing the Dao with your father, you were still nursing somewhere!" The Gray Emperor was furious. The Ten Ancestors were all-seeing, and no one dared to slack off. They never expected that this woman would grow up so quickly and reach a level comparable to his. She could fight in place of her father!

"He will wake up. He's not a good person, but he's not indifferent either."

"Hmm?" The Gray Emperor was slightly surprised. It couldn't be this fast. It had only been a million years. If the path of sacrifice was so easy to reach, the White Ancestor would have broken through long ago.

But then, Tianxian Mountain suddenly trembled, as if some ancient being had been revived, causing the entire universe to shake and resonate with it.

This sudden change attracted the attention of the emperors and even more so the ancestors. Among all living beings, who could cause such a terrifying disturbance? Perhaps only that one person could do so.

Even in the distant Sacrifice Sea, the plateau saw an unprecedented boundless fog, as if something was beginning to awaken.

"He's at Tianxian Mountain, stop him!" one of the ancestors said, disregarding even the wilderness, intending to strike first.
