Chapter 1993

This was a lamentable situation. A half immortal emperor, someone who looked down on all life, a single glance covering all realms, completely unmatched, in the end died so pitifully here.

He only wished to quell the great darkness chaos, to return peace to the other shore of Realm Sea. However, after crossing the sea, he ended up dying here.

Dying before one completed their purpose, it truly was pitiful, lamentable and sad.

The past glorious and brilliant, world-shocking figure, was still no match for fate.

“Willow Deity!”

The deceased already passed on, Shi Hao couldn’t do anything about this. All he could do was protect the ones who were still alive. He took great steps forward.

A half immortal emperor dao flame was jumping, protecting that foot tall willow tree. Its injuries were too serious, long entering a state of sleep.

“Yi!” Shi Hao was surprised.

That burning ruined body, the pulsing great dao flame had an extremely powerful resisting force that prevented external things from approaching, releasing half immortal emperor power. No wonder Willow Deity was still protected within.

“You were powerless to defend yourself, yet you still vainly wish to save another. It seems like after this, this place will have another emperor flame.” The gray-haired man said with a sneer.

“Just who are you exactly? Why did you have to do all of this? What benefits does this darkness chaos bring you?!” Shi Hao turned around, shouting out.

There was a wave of anger suppressed within him that was jumping crazily, wishing to rush out.

“Cang Di, the Gray Emperor!”[1]

The gray-haired man spoke his own name. In his eyes, there was only coldness. Towards the so-called darkness chaos, he didn’t say anything.

“You were already defeated by me, yet you still think you can do anything to me?!” Shi Hao shouted. He already defeated Cang Di, refusing that this person alone could kill that half immortal emperor from the Age of Emperor Collapse.

When he recalled the faint trail of footsteps on that dam and then looked at that ruined body that was currently burning, he released a light sigh. His predecessor died miserably here just like that.

Dusk dyed everything the color of blood, as if they were the bleak clouds of the last phase.

The great earth was boundless, the territory limitless.

In the limits of the horizon, a great golden path appeared, rumbling with noise. In the surroundings, golden lotuses were everywhere, divine birds flew about, the boundless world was even trembling.

There was a creature who appeared, on his head a purple-golden crown, his facial contour also a purple-golden color. His figure was tall and slender. This was a terrifying creature, the pressure he gave off made one feel like they were suffocating.

In his surroundings, imprints of the heavens appeared, surrounding him.

A half immortal emperor suddenly descended just like that!

“Gray Emperor, you’ve encountered an opponent. Are you not going to settle things yet?” The one who came said, his voice rumbling. He tore apart time and space, accompanied by the power of time, as if it was transmitted from millions and millions of years ago.

“Grand Emperor, you’ve come.” The gray-haired man spoke. He looked towards the tall figure who wore a purple-golden crown. This individual was addressed as Grand Emperor.

Purple energy overflowed into the heavens from Grand Emperor’s body. He stood on a path made of great dao symbols, overlooking the heavens of endless ages. When his eyes swirled, the great river of time appeared.

His aura was too great. When the aura between his mouth and nose naturally swirled, it was as if the starry seas collapsed. He didn’t seem to belong to this world. If he appeared in this world like this, everything would be destroyed.

“After taking a nap for endless time, has a new emperor appeared in this world? What a pity, you also don’t understand the heaven’s mysteries, obstinately clinging onto your course. There is no choice but to send him on his way!” Grand Emperor was extremely domineering, coldly looking down on Shi Hao in front of him.

Shi Hao released a light sigh. He just knew that there was no way the ultimate destination could be this simple. If there was only a single gray-haired man, a single Gray Emperor, what was there to worry about? He already defeated one.

However, now, another half immortal emperor appeared. There wasn’t a single one to be seen throughout the endless ages in the Foreign Realm and Realm Sea, yet now, there were two great experts here.

No wonder that in the Age of Emperor Collapse, the emperor who left Immortal Domain still ultimately nursed a grievance, falling here. There were two great emperors who took action, not a match in the end.

At this level, they were all half immortal emperors. Who would be that much inferior to the other?

Even if Shi Hao was a bit better, defeating Gray Emperor, making the space between this expert’s brows split apart, he couldn’t guarantee that he was going to be much stronger than the other party. If they took action again, he didn’t know how much more of a price he would have to pay.

Half immortal emperors were the most powerful existences since the ancient times until now. Great eras passed one after the next, yet just how many of them were there until now?

Even unmatched immortal kings didn’t have the qualifications to meet them. So many creatures were trying to cross Realm Sea, unable to reach this level on their own!

It could be said that among the leading figures of the endless past, if there were only a few individuals, then they were all here!

Shi Hao’s expression was serious. A half immortal emperor was on equal footing with him, while he was facing two of them right now. Could he win?

There was a past example right before him. That nameless existence from the Age of Emperor Collapse was still burning right there.

“Why? The other shore of Realm Sea is unrelated to this place, we ought to peacefully coexist, we should calmly interact with each other. You all have transcended so far above, why is there a need to bring about such great chaos?” Shi Hao asked with a low and sunken voice.

“Is that so? There is some mistake with your understanding. We are merely summoned individuals, only those brought together by fate will appear here.” Cang Di said. Gray hair scattered down, his golden pupils glistening with brilliance.

Shi Hao glared at him angrily. So just because people were summoned, there was a need to trigger a darkness disaster? To have so many cultivators’ true spirits perish, not letting even the common people go, left with no choice but to evolve into darkness creatures.

Shi Hao knew that the very fundamental reasoning was definitely that this world was unimaginable, completely different from the other end of Realm Sea.

“You don’t understand the relationship the other shore of Realm Sea has with this world at all.” Grand Emperor spoke, his voice cold.

“However, there is no need for you to understand either!” He added, killing intent pervading. He was determined to kill Shi Hao, eliminate this new great disaster.

Qiang!

On Shi Hao’s head, that Law Pool appeared, in his hands was an immortal sword. It was bright and resplendent, illuminating the endless past, even time was cut apart.

Apart from this, a bone crown and a snow-white jade bone staff were at his body’s side. They rose and fell there, similarly releasing dazzling half immortal emperor level brilliance.

These were the two Origin Ancient Artifacts, previously creating Burial Earth’s undead knights and Foreign Realm’s darkness evolved beings.

“Those are our keepsakes, the magical artifacts we refined. They carry the source to bring natural luck to all things, yet they were even obtained by you. It seems like you really are a variable, one that isn’t simple.”

Grand Emperor said. His entire body flooded with purple energy, the power surging more and more powerfully. When his eyes opened and closed, heaven and earth split, even the stars in the cosmos about to turn to dust.

He personally admitted that these Origin Ancient Artifacts were made to affect the other side of Realm Sea.

“Even the power of source couldn’t assimilate you, this really can be considered a variable.” Gray Emperor nodded his head in agreement.

“Feather Emperor, why aren’t you coming quickly? We need to eliminate this variable!” Right at this time, Grand Emperor spoke, purple energy surging for millions and millions of li, covering the entire boundless heaven and earth.

His killing intent surged, a bit more terrifying than even the gray-haired Gray Emperor.

In the depths of the final destination, brilliant radiance filled the heavens, divine and brilliant, illuminating endless ancient people. It cut across the great river of time, emperor power appearing.

“You are disturbing my rest!”

A low voice sounded, shaking up the world.

Then, an unrivaled creature appeared. There was an ancient war chariot that was extremely dazzling, releasing swirling brilliance, suppressing the world’s four extremes.

The war chariot rumbled, surging behind the nine galloping ancient beasts who pulled it, quickly arriving.

Those nine ancient beasts all released endless power, every one of them sinister and terrifying, their scales indented. They were like True Dragons, but they weren’t either, all of them some unknown species.

The nine ancient beasts moved along the great river of time, carrying that nine-colored immortal gold chariot as it slaughtered its way over.

On the war chariot, a wave of emperor power erupted. Then, an expanse of a divine rain of light pervaded the air. An emperor stood up, looking down in this direction.

On his back was a pair of divine wings, his entire being powerful and holy like a perfect supreme existence. His entire figure was evolved to the most perfect state.

This was another half immortal emperor!

Even Shi Hao couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath of air. The situation was grim, how was he supposed to face them?

This wasn’t Immortal Domain, neither was it the Nine Heavens Ten Earths. In the past, he was the world’s most powerful figure who could sweep through all realms, unmatched in the universe.

After arriving here, he met half immortal emperors who were just like himself, those few creatures who rose up between countless great eras, all of them high up above.

It could be said that they were all the same type of creature!

These three powerful figures, if they all faced him at the same time, how was he supposed to resist them?

“There are no beings who can remain eternally imperishable. You might be a variable in this great era, but when encountering three individuals who are just like you, what can you do? Can you defy the heavens?” Feather Emperor spoke, his voice rather cold, incredibly domineering.

He stood on that war chariot, in his hands was an emperor spear. The spear tip was dripping with blood, scarlet red and dazzling, actually half immortal emperor blood. The spear pointed at Shi Hao.

Shi Hao’s pupils contracted. He could feel a familiar aura. The half immortal emperor from the Age of Emperor Collapse who previously crossed Realm Sea alone was killed precisely by these three experts. The blood on that spear belonged to him.

“The fall of an emperor…”

Shi Hao sighed with sorrow. It really was the Age of Emperor Collapse. That age had a half immortal emperor who perished. Was it going to be his turn now?

A great decisive battle descended, the situation far worse than he imagined. He was now facing a life and death great disaster!

“I wish to know, those creatures who were summoned by you all, where are they all?” Shi Hao didn’t immediately take action, instead asking some probing questions first.

“There is someone you care about?” The gray-haired Gray Emperor asked. At his level, there was no need to say too much to know what Shi Hao wanted.

“Correct!”

Shi Hao nodded. There wasn’t much to hide. He wanted to see that past person.

Hong!

Suddenly, Gray Emperor opened the void. A giant temple appeared in the distance, precisely one of the Guidance Ancient Palaces. This was an entrance connected to Darkness Prison.

One could see large amounts of prisons appearing one after another, rising and falling in Guidance Ancient Palace’s passage, rising and falling along the great river of time, releasing a strong darkness aura.

Meanwhile now, Shi Hao’s consciousness was powerful to an unimaginable degree, terrifying beyond comparison. With a single thought, he could sweep through millions and millions of li of the vast sky.

Not even the matters of a realm could be hidden from him for long.

Now, when he deliberately searched with all of his strength, sensing the auras of his old friends, he could naturally accomplish what he wanted.

He found them!

He actually discovered them! With a hong noise, his divine will forcefully opened up a prison. Inside was the primordial spirit of a woman that continuously flickered with light.

She turned into a human form, her figure slender and long, straight and graceful. Her face was a bit lost. After being trapped in the darkness prison for two million years, she already lost herself, not knowing where she was, didn’t know who she was.

“Wake up!”

Shi Hao released a light shout, moreover used the most powerful magical force to protect her primordial spirit, wishing to bring her out.

Huo Ling’er revived. When she saw the person in the distance, even though she was in primordial spirit form, there was still a feeling of hot tears pouring down. She continuously wept.

They actually met, she really saw him again!

“Shi Hao, is it really you?” She sobbed, her face filled with emotions, full of endless yearning. She reached out her hand, fearing that she wouldn’t be able to see him again soon afterwards.

“It’s me, I came to bring you back, bring you home!” Shi Hao was now a half immortal emperor level expert. Even if there was an immortal mountain in front of him, his expression still wouldn’t change, yet now, he instead felt a type of bitter feeling.

These were the emotions of his youth, actually lingering until this day, until his current heights. The past affection and other things still didn’t die out, they still existed!

Huo Linger’s eyes immediately became blurry from tears. In the past, Fire Mulberry Flowers bloomed, she waited year after year, yet never saw that person return. This continued until one day when the entire world changed. Sin Province was seized by a great hand.

Now, how many years had she been locked up in Darkness Prison for? Even she herself became lost, her memories hazy, yet she was woken up again, able to see that person.

“I said that even if you no longer existed, I would shatter reincarnation to meet you again!” Shi Hao said loudly.

“I knew… that you would definitely come!” Huo Ling’er was laughing and crying, sparkling tears tumbling down.

“I am going to bring you out of here!” Shi Hao said.

“Who can you bring away?” Grand Emperor said coldly.

“I am going to bring all of them back!” Shi Hao shouted out. He was searching for Meng Tianzheng, he wanted to meet this senior who he greatly respected.

Hong!

However, at this time, Grand Emperor took action. A great hand pressed towards Huo Ling’er, ruthless and cold, wishing to erase her soul imprints.
