The heavens began from a small hell

Many millennia ago, the Empress was qualified to step into the realm of sacrificial arts, but due to her past obsessions, she hesitated to take the final step.

Until Lin Yang met the Empress again, she finally let go of her obsession and finally gave up and sacrificed the Dao Fruit that was used as the catalyst for the 'Great Devouring Technique'.

The ritual of offering sacrifices is inherently extremely dangerous; failure means eternal silence with no chance of a second chance.

The reason why the Empress dared to openly perform the Dao sacrifice on the supreme battlefield was that she was a... dual Dao Fruit Dao sacrificer.

Over the long years, the Empress, who had attained the highest status for many years, had not taken the final step, but she had rebuilt her foundation and cultivated the second fruit.

That was not the Blood Soul Dao Fruit she usually used, but rather a "Devouring Dao Fruit" based on the part of the "Great Devouring Technique" that Lin Yang had taught her back then, with the Empress gradually filling in the gaps.

It was precisely because of the existence of the 'Devouring Dao Fruit' that the Empress was able to quickly and without any hidden dangers integrate the Blood Essence of Myriad Spirits into herself after plundering it with the Blood Soul Dao.

Sacrificing two supreme Dao fruits at the same time was enough to quickly and steadily push the Empress into the realm of sacrificial Dao, and allowed her to make a considerable progress in the realm of sacrificial Dao.

The chief priest of the Gray Era felt this most deeply; his countless magical arts were as fragile as paper before the halberd that had lost all its color, and it showed signs of collapsing even before the halberd truly touched it.

If the previous chief priest could still put up a fight, now it was a one-sided slaughter. At the moment of the Empress's sacrifice, it could no longer care about the sacrificial ground it was carrying, which was trying its best to resist, but it was still useless.

The halberd shattered all laws, piercing the high priest's body without a sound. After the ritual, the empress repeated her feat of instantly killing the high priest in one move not long ago.

But unlike before, the high priest not only suffered severe physical injuries, but his soul light was also torn to shreds, and even his undying will felt sluggish, being burned by an inexplicable force.

As someone who had been through it all, the Empress knew very well that the most direct way to make the Supreme Beings eternally silent and completely kill them was to have them begin a ritual.

But no one can force the Most High to take that step, which is both full of hope and fraught with despair, unless the person himself is unwilling.

Therefore, the Empress used her own sacrificial intent to burn the will of the chief priest, which was countless times faster than killing the chief priest again and again to cause his will to collapse.

At the same time, the Empress's radiant new body gradually became clearer, restoring its original outline.

She has initially stabilized and adapted to the state of sacrificial ritual.

The various orders and infinite rules that could previously slightly influence her have lost their meaning for her now. The power within her has lost the constraints of order and the laws of nature, becoming almost omnipotent and unrestrained.

If someone were to kill the Empress's past self at this moment, and thus fail to have any effect on her as before the sacrificial ceremony, even if the Empress's past is completely erased, the Empress who has stepped into the sacrificial ceremony realm can still exist.

The erased past only leads to historical change.

At this moment, several breaths had passed since the Empress successfully performed the ritual, and the energy emanating from it had spread throughout all worlds.

The three priests and the nine progenitors reacted the fastest. Compared to the joy of the three priests and the fact that there was one more priest in the world, the nine progenitors were a little heavy-hearted.

Four priests lived in the same era...

Each of the ancestors sensed something was wrong.

If Huang hadn't entered the Heavenly Cave, there would be five sacrificial priests right now.

This is enough to truly threaten their existence and hopefully completely wipe out the current bizarre race.

After the initial heaviness in my heart, I felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, Huang left, and fortunately, they launched their attack in time. Otherwise, we would have to wait millions of years. Not to mention whether new priests would be born in all eras under the guidance of several priests, the progress of these few people alone is enough to make people uneasy.

"She's already offered sacrifices, but what about Ye?"

The ancestor of the White Fiend lineage thought of Ye, who was once as famous as the Empress.

The era in which Ye, the Empress, and Wushi were active was the era in which it was in charge. Back then, the three of them caused some trouble for the Grand Priest, which made it learn that there were such three ants in the world.

Later, the price for disrupting the grand ceremony was that Wushi died in battle to cover the retreat of the two.

Previously, the White Fiend Ancestor could ignore Ye's existence, but things are different now. If Ye also attempts to achieve the Dao of Sacrifice, then it will be truly troublesome. Throughout countless ages, only a handful of supreme beings have truly reached the realm of Dao of Sacrifice. The White Fiend Ancestor shouldn't be worried, but considering the crisis in his hazy dream, and the example of the Empress's successful breakthrough...

It must be vigilant.

After a moment's recollection, it remembered that during the White Era Grand Ceremony many years ago, the people below regarded Ye as the strongest of the three.

Looking back on the past, the White Demon Ancestor began to trace the secrets and destinies of all ages, wanting to find Ye's whereabouts and kill him.

but……

There is no trace.

The White Demon Ancestor said in a deep voice, "It is truly a dangerous era. Fortunately, we had foreseen it in advance."

It spoke with several other progenitors who had been sleeping throughout the White Era about Ye.

"Including the missing person, are there five powerful individuals at my level?"

"Not enough to worry about."

The ancestor, who was exhaling gray mist from his mouth and nose, glanced at Jiang Luoshen and the other two in the myriad realms, and then at the Empress who was rushing over.

In the blink of an eye, the communication was completed, and the ancestor who was also heading to this place suddenly changed direction to intercept the empress who came from the primordial chaos.

In addition, two other ancestors set off together to greet the Empress.

The strange progenitors clearly intended to use the power of the three progenitors to suppress the Empress, who had just stepped into this realm, and resolve a major calamity ahead of time.

This shows that the Empress is highly valued, recalling the desolation of yesteryear...

It was merely a confrontation with the three progenitors.

If a fourth ancestor had appeared, the desolate wilderness that once lay fallen outside the plateau would have died long ago, and none of the subsequent events would have occurred.

An ancestor recalled the long years of confrontation with the wilderness. If you do the math, the current empress and Ye, who have not yet appeared, were born and rose to power during that period.

"Come and go as you please?"

A chilling rebuke echoed from all the heavens. A towering man with a stone jar on his head and a millstone under his feet, surrounded by countless domain symbols, was the first to break out of all the heavens and myriad worlds.

The black and white ripples, flowing between clear and turbid, spread outwards, reaching the progenitors beyond the heavens. The heavens beyond, which originally had no distinction between light and darkness, suddenly became sacred and dazzling, with endless pollen falling and surrounding a hazy light and shadow.

The three priests of the Imperial Court took the initiative to attack. They couldn't just stand by and watch the Empress be surrounded and killed. The current situation was also conducive to delaying the Ancestor.

At the same moment, the supreme beings in the outer battlefield also sensed the ripples of the Empress's breakthrough, and a shocking change ensued.

Two strange flames suddenly rose up, and a furnace weathered by time appeared in the flames, rushing towards the eerie supreme being of the Black Blood lineage.

Fire of the vast sky, flame of the ancient cosmos!
Time Furnace!
"Without beginning, without end, without reincarnation."

The powerful being who wielded the Time Furnace murmured, using his accumulated past experiences to control the wondrous flames that symbolized the void and the passage of time.

It was none other than Wushi, who had been trampled to death in the depths of the Heavenly Emperor's burial pit not long ago!
That was his false body. His true body had somehow obtained the Time Furnace and collected some of the strange flames scattered in the ancient cycle of reincarnation, thus crossing the final step and ascending to the highest position.

At the same time, emerald green willow branches suddenly descended, striking towards another strange and supreme being.

The Willow Goddess, who died to save people from famine, has reappeared in the world.
