Chapter 204 Ending (Transition)
Above the northern border sea, huge waves were surging. The moment Jiang Jue turned around, all the Taoist ancestors in the heavens took the initiative to meet them.
Jiang Jue has become a leader, and his powerful strength makes people unconsciously center around him.
The young man in the lead was Lu Zu, his face full of shock that hadn't calmed down yet.
In this battle, he witnessed the young man he brought to the battlefield in the northern border suppressing the heavens with great force and burying the emperors. At this moment, thinking back to their encounter, it seemed even more abrupt.
Just because he opened his mouth once, the other party stepped into the northern border, and the shocking turmoil in the northern border was quelled. It would be difficult for him and others to achieve such a result even if they fought for thousands of years.
"Fellow Daoist Qingjue's strength is amazing. In this battle, our Heaven was able to suppress the unrest in the northern border, all thanks to your overwhelming power. All living beings in Heaven will remember your immeasurable merits."
Lu Zu spoke with a serious face.
The young man in front of him was a supreme Taoist who dominated the imperial realm. In the previous bloody battle, the strange phenomena caused by the opponent's great power proved that this young man was more terrifying than everyone had imagined.
The strange vision and the secret power of the supreme realm made Daozu submit subconsciously.
"Thank you for the compliment, fellow Daoist. I have gained a lot from this battle, and my trip to the Northern Frontier was not in vain."
Jiang Jue spoke calmly.
After entering the northern border, he and the quasi-immortal emperor of the strange lineage defeated the heavens, and completed another sublimation of the road to emperor in this bloody battle. Even his original body has begun to touch the power and a trace of authority of that supreme realm.
The supreme authority in the heavens, this is a gain that is difficult to describe in words. Even the old man who destroyed the world in the original novel probably never reached this point.
However, strictly speaking, this is not Jiang Jue's own power, but the incredible power after the World Tree was sublimated, which connected the latitude and longitude of heaven and earth in ancient, present and future, allowing Jiang Jue to feel a trace of the authority of the Immortal Emperor in advance. Of course, this is scary enough.
"Qing Jue!"
"Is this amazingly talented and powerful Dao Ancestor called Qing Jue? He is from the lower realm!"
Hearing Lu Zu's words, the Taoist ancestors from the heavens who were fleeing towards Jiang Jue were also shocked.
Compared to Lu Zu, the other Taoist ancestors obviously also attach great importance to Jiang Jue's title of emperor. After all, once what they want in the future becomes a reality, the title Qing Jue will become a taboo, and all living beings in the world will not dare to speak its name.
Moreover, in the ancient history of the universe, a supreme immortal emperor had fallen, and his existence was wiped out by strange creatures. All living beings had no way to call him back, so it was their instinctive reaction to attach importance to Jiang Jue's title.
"Qingjue, are you okay?"
When the Footprint Emperor spoke, he also came to Jiang Jue.
Seeing the worried look on Emperor Footprint's face, Jiang Jue nodded slightly.
"Hello, Fellow Daoist Qingjue!"
In just a moment, all the Taoist ancestors from the Heaven came to Jiang Jue and saluted him.
"Qing Jue greets all of you fellow Taoists!"
Looking at the dozen peerless Taoist ancestors gathering in the sky ahead, let alone the Footprint Emperor, even Jiang Jue was shocked in his heart, and the sea boundary began to solidify again because of the gathering of the emperors.
Perhaps only Heaven can have so many Quasi-Immortal Emperors. And this is only Heaven's power in the northern border. Moreover, in this battle, many Dao Ancestors have already fled to an unknown space and time, and they may not be able to return in a short time.
During this period, the Heavens were on the brink of destruction under the Dark Sacrifice. The number of dead creatures and Taoist ancestors could not be counted. It was hard to imagine how powerful the entire Heavens were at their peak.
Bury the Immortal Emperor. Perhaps these few words alone are enough to prove the terror of God.
"Fellow Daoist Qingjue, although the unrest in the northern border has been suppressed, the darkness will not really be quelled. There are still many forbidden areas in the northern border where the seals have loosened. Why don't we go back and discuss it later?"
The Taoist master named Gui spoke.
"That's right. Let's go back to the ancestral altar first. Things may become more difficult in the future. Many of my fellow Taoists also need to recuperate. We will have to rely on Brother Qingjue to help us in the future."
The old man in the lead spoke with a worried look on his face. He said they would not let down their guard just because of this battle. Moreover, they had gone through a long war and many Dao Ancestors were indeed seriously injured.
The most important thing is that even the death of those creatures from the strange lineage is still disturbing.
In the ancient history, God had destroyed many dark quasi-immortal emperors, and even buried Lu Jin.
But something so weird that it makes people's scalps tingle has happened. Among the weird tribes, those equally amazing supreme gods have stepped out of ancient history many times, and even turned around and killed the Taoist ancestors who had buried each other.
Although this matter is very secretive, the old man named Xianshou knows that the adult has encountered it many times. In the strange lineage, there are very few creatures that cannot be killed, or in other words, there is an unfathomable secret force that guides the other party back from ancient history.
Even the Immortal Emperor of Heaven had experienced that helpless mentality, because those paths had been crossed more than once in ancient history, and they could not be killed or destroyed.
This is also the main reason why Shangtian is so passive now. The enemies fight desperately time and time again just to injure the Immortal Emperor, but it is very difficult for Shangtian's Immortal Emperor to return. In ancient history, there were Immortal Emperors who were killed in this way. Up to this day, Shangtian's cultivators have not figured out the horror of it.
So every time they fought with dark creatures they were terrified.
"You are right, fellow Daoist. The dark turmoil is sweeping across the heavens and myriad worlds. We must not be careless. Strengthening the seals of other forbidden areas in the northern border is the most important thing."
Jiang Jue responded that he naturally knew the seriousness of the matter.
Although at present he can reach the realm of the Supreme Emperor as long as he is not surrounded and killed, he is still unable to truly destroy all eternity with a wave of his hand like the Immortal Emperor, and suppress the boundless heavens with one blow, and he regards the Quasi-Immortal Emperors as ants.
If there are enough weird quasi-immortal emperors, he will not be able to contend with them at present. However, taking a step back, even the supreme immortal emperor will fall one day, so what does his strength matter?
"It's time to go back!"
"Without further ado, let's go!"
Several Taoist ancestors murmured.
The next moment, Jiang Jue, the Footprint Emperor, and a group of Dao Ancestors had already escaped from the Sea of Boundary, and they all headed towards the territory of the northern border of Shangcang.
In the vast and boundless starry sky, more and more streams of light are spurting out from the collapsed heavens and myriad worlds, and are constantly converging towards the dozen or so rays of light that are like the passing of the Golden Crow. These are the countless monks from heaven who have gone out to conquer the myriad worlds. Now that the unrest has been temporarily settled, they are also evacuating this destroyed space and time. There is no point in staying behind.
Chi Ling, Zang Zhu and others saw Jiang Jue returning and followed the crowd back.
As time went by, the boundary sea below was slowly disappearing, and the water-like world was slowly manifesting in a solidified state. Some mountains and plateaus were rising up, but the infinite earth was still cracked, and the sky and the abyss were filled with void. These destroyed universes were lifeless and extremely dark, and all things had lost their color.
Everyone in the heavens looked at the destroyed heavens and myriad worlds with extremely serious expressions. To them, this was their homeland, and it was ruined to this point, especially those cracked abysses in the ground, some of which led directly to the heavens below. When they inadvertently peeked in, they saw that the world below had been polluted by darkness, and the horrifying black fog and blood energy were about to invade the heavens.
"seal up!"
A Dao Ancestor roared with a solemn expression, raised his hand, and the imperial energy erupted like a furnace. The light of the imperial flame was so bright and fierce that it turned into the fire of the Great Dao and burned away the darkness that invaded the heavens from the earth. The secret power of the Dao Fruit sublimated the true patterns of the Great Dao Laws and evolved into chains of divine order that sealed those ancient caves.
On the other hand, Jiang Jue also took action to seal off many lower realms. Although he was also born in the lower realms, these worlds before him had completely fallen and he could not afford any sympathy.
After escaping from the sea boundary, even with the stamina of a quasi-immortal emperor, it took a long time for everyone to cross the vast northern border, until a glimmer of light began to appear between the dim sky and earth. It was the fluctuation of the soul light of living beings and the light of heaven and earth, a sign that all things were shining, but it was very weak. Too many living beings had died, and this little light was like a firefly in the dark night, and could not be compared with the dazzling galaxy that once amazed people.
"The ancestral altar had been attacked by strange creatures before, and it had collapsed a lot."
Looking at the shattered world ahead, Gui Zu spoke again. They were already approaching the largest area in the northern border of Shangcang.
"I hope the ancestral altar is okay, otherwise it will take a lot of effort to rebuild it."
The old man spoke with a serious face, saying that the Northern Frontier Ancestral Altar was built by the emperors so that cultivators from all races could come to support at any time, and it cost a huge price.
Once it collapses, supplies cannot be transported and the Northern Territory will be isolated and helpless. However, when the other party looked at Jiang Jue, there was a sense of relief in his eyes.
Soon after, Jiang Jue and everyone else saw a vibrant world. The stars were shining brightly, all things were filled with fairy light, the Taoist rhyme was rich, and the spiritual energy was surging like a strong wind. Countless creatures spanned the eight directions of the universe, and the ancient beasts that could reach the sky were gathering the huge stars.
Many gaps were broken in the ancestral altar city, and many transfer altars leading to other areas were also destroyed. At this moment, all creatures in the universe were busy repairing them.
The Immortal King mobilized the great formation, and the True Immortal refined the cornerstone.
Magnificent divine cities towering above the nine heavens emerged, and each city was equivalent to a huge ancient world. Vast warships were densely packed and surrounded by fairy light. No one knew how long ago they were built. They might be older than some of the great worlds. The battle flags of all races in the heavens fluttered in the sky, causing endless explosions in the void, like thunder across the sky.
The Northern Frontier Ancestral Altar is so huge that even with Jiang Jue’s current strength, he cannot see its end. It truly stretches to all the heavens and worlds.
This line of defense was the work of the emperors of Heaven. In the past, the City of God was the foggy sea that cut across the northern border of Heaven.
If this place falls, then the northern border can be abandoned.
"Look, the warriors who went to war are coming back."
"It's those supreme beings! Quick, beat the drums and shake the bells!"
Seeing the emperors bringing people back from the destroyed worlds, the Immortal King guarding the ancestral altar exclaimed, and waves of bell sounds echoing throughout the universe began.
"Notify the ancestors of Shangze that all the ancestors have returned."
An immortal king looked at the ancestral altar. There was a Taoist ancestor guarding that secret place. He had been in seclusion because he was injured in the previous fight with Weird Supreme. However, now that the emperors have returned, this ancestor must come out of seclusion.
Suddenly, the heaven and earth shook, and all things surrendered.
In the ancestral altar of the divine city, a blazing sun appeared from the end of the world, and its light illuminated the heavens. In the terrifying vision, the shadow of a peerless beast emerged.
It has four legs and wings on its back, and its imperial power is overwhelming.
This is an imperial beast, the Chaos Imperial Beast from the ancestor of all races in the universe. It is extremely terrifying and the entire world is suppressed.
It is conceivable how terrible the battle was when such creatures were injured.
"Xian Shou, you guys are back."
The ancient and domineering voice spread, and in the divine city that dominated the heavens, all spirits bowed their heads.
"Yes, the North has been pacified! We will return to discuss the next steps."
Xianshou Daozu opened his mouth to respond to the other party.
The next second, under the other party's astonished gaze, Jiang Jue and Shangcang and his group of Taoist ancestors escaped into the Divine City.
Moreover, everyone was heading towards the ancestral altar.
In the vast ancient altar, many majestic figures have gathered, but the Immortal King does not dare to step into this altar. This is the place where the emperors hold meetings, and even the Immortal King cannot bear the horrible cause and effect.
Jiang Jue looked at everyone at the altar, and recalled the ancient times when the primitive ancient world had also gathered like this to discuss when facing the war between foreign lands.
However, the difference is that the Immortal Kings at that time were replaced by an upgraded version of the meeting of today's emperors.
"Shangze, you are injured!"
The Taoist master named Xianshou looked at the burly middle-aged man opposite him and spoke with a serious expression.
This is a peerless Taoist who has been sublimated on the road to emperor. Now he has been seriously injured. The previous battle was more thrilling than imagined.
"Darkness attacked the ancestral altar, an emperor descended here, and even a forbidden area seal was broken, and then another source of destruction entered the heavens."
The man named Shang Ze spoke, his words full of helplessness.
Everyone's faces were shocked. These were two emperors attacking the ancestral altar. It was extremely dangerous.
"However, after the battle, the two opponents seemed unwilling to get entangled here and fled to other ancient histories and escaped from heaven."
The man spoke doubtfully.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The other side probably didn't dare to drag it out and chose to retreat because of the rise of Daozu Qingjue and the killing of all the emperors, which reversed the situation on the battlefield.
"You said the North was pacified. What happened?"
Shang Ze murmured, obviously not knowing what was going on.
"This Qing Jue Daozu from the world of the universe is extremely powerful. In this battle, he buried many quasi-immortal emperors of the darkness, distorted the battle situation in the northern border, and led us to repel the darkness."
Taoist Ancestor Xianshou looked at Jiang Jue on the other side of the altar and spoke with a smile on his face.
"Burial of the emperors?"
Daoist Master Shangze was startled, then looked at Jiang Jue with seriousness in his eyes. He certainly knew what Xianshou meant.
"Hello, Brother Qingjue!"
Daoist Master Shangze bowed to Jiang Jue very solemnly.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Shang Ze!"
Jiang Jue also responded to the other party. The Dao Ancestors who had been sublimated on the Emperor's Road were definitely not comparable to some dark quasi-immortal emperors. The reason why the emperors of heaven could withstand the attacks of darkness for so many years was mainly due to these Dao Ancestors who had been sublimated on the Emperor's Road.
The fact that the opponent was able to fight two emperors alone in the previous battle was the best proof. Although there were many Dao ancestors from heaven, there were still more emperors from darkness.
"Don't you know the honorific title of this Taoist friend? If it is inconvenient, please forgive me for my impoliteness."
Lu Zu, who was not far from Jiang Jue and Footprint Emperor, looked at Footprint Emperor and spoke. Even when he first met the two of them, he only knew Jiang Jue's title.
The Footprint Emperor is very mysterious, which is largely due to the fact that his true spirit is not obvious. Everyone also knows that he has actually fallen, but his true spirit is constantly returning and wants to step on the world again.
"It is I who am being rude, Xuan. Hello fellow Taoists."
The Footprint Emperor spoke softly.
"Your merits are immeasurable. All living beings in the heavens should remember your merits. Moreover, this will be very helpful for your return."
The Taoist Ancestor Xianshou looked at the Footprint Emperor and spoke.
Even Jiang Jue was shocked. The way of faith was indeed wonderful. Even though Emperor Xuan could not be called back by all living beings like Emperor Xian, it was indeed very beneficial for him to accept the faith of countless creatures in heaven. In addition, now that he had touched the power of Emperor Xian, the speed of his return would be greatly reduced.
"Where did you get that imperial weapon?"
After a few breaths, Xianshou Daozu looked at Emperor Xuan and spoke again.
At this moment, the eyes of all the emperors on and below the altar were once again focused on Emperor Xuan. After thousands of years of bloody battles, how could no one pay attention to the ancient tripod with the imperial aura that Emperor Xuan controlled?
That was definitely not a supreme divine weapon that could be refined by a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. It was extremely powerful and could rival a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Its origin was definitely astonishing, but everyone was thrilled but had no impression of it.
"This is Daoist Fellow Qingjue's ancient artifact!"
As soon as Emperor Xuan finished speaking, everyone was stunned, and then looked at Jiang Jue in amazement. How could they not be surprised that the owner of the imperial weapon was actually this person? Some even thought that Jiang Jue was a certain supreme immortal emperor who was about to return.
"You all misunderstood, I got it by accident!"
As soon as Jiang Jue finished speaking, everyone looked at him and fell into deep thought.
"Do you fellow Taoists know its origin?"
Jiang Jue looked at everyone. Not only others but even he was puzzled by the origin of the Wanxie Cauldron.
"When the imperial weapon first appeared, my heart was throbbing. I felt it was very familiar, but I couldn't remember it."
Taoist Xianshou murmured softly, his face extremely solemn, regretting what he had forgotten.
"Perhaps, this imperial weapon once appeared in the ancient history of the heavens, but we have all forgotten it."
A Taoist master with white hair spoke, it was Emperor Ming.
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperors in the altar looked embarrassed, perhaps realizing something. They had forgotten something important in their memories, perhaps the name of another supreme being.
"Everyone, it's useless to think about these things now, why not think about what to do next!"
Jiang Jue spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Qingjue is right. We will discuss this matter after the adults return. For now, we should split our forces into two groups. I will continue to guard the northern border of Shangcang while reinforcing the seal of the forbidden area. Lu, you will lead the people to support the sea sacrifice."
Xianshou Daozu spoke.
At the beginning, he, Ming, Lu, Gui and seven others were ordered to enter the Northern Border to quell the rebellion. Now that the rebellion has subsided, they should support the sea sacrifice. That is the largest battlefield in the heaven, and the Immortal Emperors will fight there.
The entire heaven's sacrificed territory swallowed up all the heavens and worlds from there.
"Fellow Daoist Qingjue, if possible, we hope that you will lead the army this time."
After Xianshou finished speaking, everyone looked at Jiang Jue.
"Can!"
Jiang Jue spoke calmly. The Immortal Emperor battlefield might be too difficult for him, but he still had to face it eventually. Otherwise, it would be difficult to truly step into that realm.
Even if it is a desolate road, it cannot be avoided. This is the calamity of the Immortal Emperor.
