The heavens begin with the Dharma of absorbing power.

Chapter 1812: Similar Faces, Returning People (Edited, Updated)

"You are the source of darkness in the Ultimate Ancient Land!"

Outside the ocean-blue planet, Jiudaoyi from the First Mountain said in a low voice.

There was a hint of solemnity in his voice, as if he was recalling that distant era. He had personally experienced the dark catastrophe that swept across the heavens and myriad worlds, so he was naturally familiar with the source of darkness in the Ultimate Ancient Land.

As soon as these words came out, the powerful men around looked at each other, especially those fallen immortals, a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in their eyes.

No wonder they felt inexplicably close to this existence. They were all creatures infected by darkness, and the one in front of them could be considered their ancestor, a fallen existence at the level of an Immortal Emperor.

"The source of darkness?"

The being in the blue planet seemed to be touched by emotions, and said in a low and hoarse voice, "I never thought of becoming the source of darkness. I was plotted against."

There was a hint of helplessness and resentment in his tone. "Back then, I failed to completely suppress the darkness. In the end, I sacrificed myself to plug the hole where the dark blood flowed. I thought this would end everything, but I didn't expect that I would end up destroying myself."

"At that time, I seemed alive, but in fact I was already dead. My true self was corrupted, and the Immortal Emperor who cared about the world was no longer in the world. All that was left was a dark corpse of the Road End level, half dormant, half decayed. That was the first time I was killed."

His voice gradually became low, as if he was lost in a long memory. Jiu Daoyi listened silently, and understood in his heart. He knew that it was the fall of this Dark Immortal Emperor and several Quasi-Immortal Emperors that triggered the dark disaster that swept across the heavens.

That calamity lasted for countless epochs, and even a quasi-immortal emperor died in the battle to quell the darkness. That era was also known as the "Era of the Fall of the Emperor." It was not until the Age of Chaos that he joined forces with the rising being to end this bloody and chaotic catastrophe. However, the heavens and myriad worlds had already been shattered, and countless civilizations were lost in the long river of history.

"Now that I think about it, I was targeted by a monster from a strange source." The being on the blue star continued, with a hint of unwillingness in his tone, "They secretly eroded me and corroded me, and even used the power of at least two Immortal Emperors. Otherwise, how could I have fallen into darkness?"

"If I had been given some more time, I would have become even stronger, and they would not have been able to suppress me at all. Unfortunately, my luck is against me..."

His voice was full of emotion and regret. Even though he had fallen into darkness, his heart still resisted that power. When he spread the darkness across the heavens, it was just to dilute it and try to find a way to completely eliminate it.

Outside the Blue Star, everyone was silent for a long time. Finally, a brave Immortal King couldn't help but speak: "Senior, since you have revived, why don't you join forces with us to find the monster at the source of the weirdness and settle accounts?"

"Liquidation?"

The being chuckled, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone, "I did go there. After my true self was revived, I set foot on that road, vowing to crush the emperor's bones and end everything. But now, I stay here."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Since he had already gone to seek revenge, why was he still here?

As if seeing the confusion of the crowd, the being slowly explained: "After the true self was revived, it condensed into a present body, but the dark soul and strange true spirit of the past also awakened. The true self set out to step on the emperor's bones, but I... was sealed in a jar."

His voice was low and slow, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him.

Everyone then understood that this being was just the dark part of the Immortal Emperor who had been slain, that is, the corpse Immortal Emperor of the past. He was sealed in a jar as an early warning device. Once the jar was broken, it would mean that the catastrophe was approaching, and the true self would use this as a beacon to return.

"I am nothing but an evil thought, somewhere between weirdness and my true self."

The Corpse Emperor said self-deprecatingly, "I have neither completely fallen nor completely returned to the light. Now that my true self is gone, I am only staying here to confirm some of my ideas."

There was a hint of confusion and helplessness in his tone.

The evil thoughts of the Corpse Immortal Emperor were born in the past for the purpose of self-rescue. Now that his true self has returned and his body is no longer infected by darkness, he naturally no longer needs to sacrifice all living things in the heavens to dilute the darkness for himself.

His evil thoughts were originally born for the purpose of self-salvation. Now that he has no goal of self-salvation, he is naturally full of confusion. He can guess that he is a beacon set up by his "true self" and does not want to run around, so he chooses to stay and do experiments on this blue planet.

Blue Star was his testing ground. He had witnessed the rise of Shi Wolong and Ye Fengchu, and also witnessed the appearance of countless similar faces. As an Immortal Emperor, he naturally wanted to explore the mystery.

Now, he turned his attention to the people outside Blue Star, especially the young man who had a great cause and effect relationship with "that person".

That face was so similar to Shi and Ye that he couldn't help but want to put it into the black cave and study it carefully.

After the Corpse Immortal Emperor finished speaking, his meaning was very clear. He wanted to fill everyone into the black cave. Everyone was numb for a moment.

"Damn it, this guy doesn't make sense, kill him!"

In the end, it was the big black dog that reacted first. This dog had a bad temper. His face sank and he howled, determined to fight to the death with the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

When the others heard what the big black dog said, they were all startled and became fully alert and prepared to fight.

There was a solemn and murderous atmosphere in the universe, as if even time had frozen at this moment, and the avenue had become blurred at this moment.

Jiudaoyi stood at the front, and the Sky Burial Map above his head slowly unfolded. The map seemed to contain endless stars in the universe, and terrifying energy ripples were flowing.

Each ripple seemed to be able to tear the void, shatter the heaven and earth, and wipe out everything, making people afraid.

Gu Qing stood on one side, the imperial weapon in his hand rising and falling, having already accumulated tremendous power.

The imperial weapon exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, as if it carried the vicissitudes and glory of countless eras, and was ready to burst out with devastating power at any time.

"You're brave, but... it's useless."

The voice of the Corpse Immortal Emperor came coldly, with a kind of condescending contempt.

His voice seemed to come from an endless abyss, icy cold and chilling.

"Aren't you afraid that the evil man will come back?"

The big black dog asked through gritting his teeth, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

"Afraid of him?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in the Immortal Emperor's voice, and he sneered, "If I hadn't been besieged by the two of them back then, how could I have... No, two?"

"How can there be two? One? Two? One or two? My memory... is confused... What on earth is going on..."

Suddenly, the Corpse Immortal Emperor's voice became confused, as if he had fallen into some kind of madness.

Although the people outside Blue Star could not see his figure, they could clearly hear his almost insane roar.

In the higher-dimensional space and time that no one can see, strange ripples surrounded the Corpse Immortal Emperor's body, and an inexplicable space-time light wave rotated endlessly, as if conveying some incomprehensible information.

"What the hell is going on...what's going on...ah, never mind!"

The Corpse Immortal Emperor's voice gradually calmed down from the chaos, but there was still a hint of irritation in his tone that was difficult to conceal, "The fierce man surnamed Shi left. He either died outside or will never come back."

"Those three were also hunted down by the weirdos. It's still unclear whether they can come back. Now, I can only be invincible in this world...!"

There was an almost arrogant confidence in his voice, as if nothing in the world could rival him. "If I am not here, go step on the emperor's bones!"

The Corpse Emperor's voice suddenly became low and cold, "Although I am not a complete Immortal Emperor, to deal with you... one hand is enough!"

"You want to fight me? You will be miserable."

His words changed from frantic to calm, but with a suffocating sense of oppression.

The rumbling sound of Tao exploded in everyone's ears like thunder, shaking their bodies and minds, and making them tremble with despair.

The Corpse Immortal Emperor was the greatest threat to the heavens and myriad worlds several epochs ago, and the source of darkness and chaos.

If that person had not risen up and ended it all with his own strength, the heavens and the world would have been completely swallowed up by darkness by now, and all living beings would have fallen into the abyss forever.

However, at this moment, they are facing this terrifying existence that once ruled the heavens and made all the worlds tremble.

Even though he was not a complete Immortal Emperor, and even though his true self had already stepped on the Emperor's bones, his remaining strength alone was enough to make everyone present feel deeply powerless and fearful.

There is an extremely depressing atmosphere in the universe and the stars, as if even breathing has become difficult.

Everyone looked at each other with solemn eyes. Did they really want to fight against such a being? Could they fight? The chances of winning were too slim, but it seemed that there was no way to surrender. Now they could only take one step at a time. It was really despairing!
"How can I do it if I don't want to miss it?"

"I have left traces. Today, someone in my hometown is still missing me..."

Suddenly, a voice sounded, vague and ethereal, as if it came from the depths of distant time and space, spanning countless epochs, and finally echoing in everyone's ears.

The voice seemed real and illusory, with an indescribable vicissitudes and majesty, as if it came from outside the heavens, and as if it came from an endless ocean of blood.

The kings suddenly raised their heads, their eyes piercing through layers of void, trying to find the source of the sound.

Their hearts were filled with shock and doubt. Where did this voice come from? Was it a call from heaven or a whisper from some supreme being?

"I came back on the emperor's bones. I almost got lost in the vast ocean of the world outside the heavens. Now, someone is missing me and pointing out my coordinates..."

The voice came again, although it was hazy, it was clearly heard by everyone.

Everyone's heart was shocked, and a shocking thought emerged in their minds at the same time: this is the true self of the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

Is he coming back? Stepping on the emperor's bones? Crossing endless time and space, returning to the heavens and myriad worlds?

"True self, you really regard me as a coordinate. Everything is just to lead you back..."

The Corpse Immortal Emperor's roar suddenly sounded, his voice full of reluctance and anger. As the dark evil thoughts of the past, he was originally a collection of negative emotions, and at this moment, he was even more emotional and could hardly control himself.

He clearly realized that the reason he was cut out and survived until now was just to serve as an early warning device, a coordinate, and a tool to guide his true self back.

"Otherwise, I would have been completely destroyed long ago and would not be alive today..."

There was a hint of self-mockery and resentment in his voice.

"You are me and I am you, there is no difference between us. You worry too much..."

The vague voice came from the outside world again. Although it was calm, it carried an irresistible majesty.

Even for a true Immortal Emperor, it is not easy to convey messages to the heavens across countless worlds, the bloody sacrificial sea, and the heavens.

However, that voice was clearly heard by everyone, as if declaring an unshakable fact.

"Oh, you haven't come back after all. Before that, you can't interfere with what I want to do!"

The Corpse Immortal Emperor laughed, with a kind of cold mockery. His voice was full of provocation and disdain, as if he was declaring war on his true self.

Everyone present felt a suffocating sense of oppression. Was this half-dark Immortal Emperor going to attack them with evil intentions?
"I told you, I really want to throw you into the black cave. Of course, I want to beat him to death even more..."

Before he finished his words, a huge dark hand stretched out from the aqua-blue planet, carrying with it an endless breath of darkness and destruction, and slowly slapped towards Chu Feng and the others.

The movement of that big hand seemed slow, but it covered the entire starry sky, as if even time had stopped under its pressure.

The surrounding stars trembled under this terrifying force, as if they would collapse at any time, and the galaxy seemed about to explode.

Chu Feng stood there, his heart filled with helplessness and bitterness.

What did he do to offend anyone? This was totally unprovoked.

At the critical moment of life and death, a question emerged in his mind: why did he look so much like the evil man? What kind of secret was hidden behind this?
Although the huge black hand moved slowly, it carried an irresistible pressure, as if it wanted to crush Chu Feng's soul.

It's not that the Corpse Immortal Emperor is unable to wipe out Chu Feng with a single thought. He is just dominated by his past obsessions and deliberately tortures Chu Feng's mind in this way, making him feel endless fear and despair.

"This face really makes me unhappy..."

The Corpse Immortal Emperor's whispers echoed in the starry sky, carrying with them an icy murderous intent.

"Ha ha……"

Suddenly, a voice was heard in the world again. Everyone felt that everything froze at this moment, the entire space and time was still, and no one could move, including the huge black hand that covered the starry sky.

The Corpse Immortal Emperor also solidified, motionless, and froze in place.

"Hey, you, it's you..."

The next moment, the voice that everyone previously believed to be the true self of the Corpse Immortal Emperor rang out, filled with surprise.

"Ah... I really didn't remember it wrongly. There really are two of you. You are also going to return, and you are using me as your coordinate... Go to hell..."

The Corpse Immortal Emperor was angry. He sensed some details that he had not noticed before. He really was being used as a signpost.

Moreover, at this moment, he also realized some causes and effects. The breakthrough of that person had a lot to do with himself. He had had his Dao fruit taken away by that person, and this was a great hatred.

My true self regards him as a signpost, and that guy does the same, so I’ll just fight him.
