Cross-promoting martial arts: Obtain the dragon-elephant prajna skill at the beginning

The waters are vast and misty, shrouded in clouds and fog.

Yunxin Lake, the largest lake in the human realm, boasts vast and clear waters stretching for thousands of miles, and has nurtured countless renowned demons throughout history.

The current Demon Emperor is said to be a carp that jumped out of Yunxin Lake thousands of years ago. After thousands of years of cultivation, he crossed the Dragon Gate, became a true dragon, unified the demon race, and called himself the Demon Emperor!

It is an existence that is on par with the current Human Emperor!
Therefore, Yunxin Lake also became a sacred place for the demon race.

Since the Demon Emperor attained enlightenment, no human has dared to enter within a thousand miles of Cloud Heart Lake. Otherwise, even a powerful being at the Creation Realm who has created the world would find it difficult to escape being killed by the Demon Emperor with a single finger.

Today, powerful human auras have emerged from within a hundred miles of Yunxin Lake, and further afield, there are densely packed human armies, like waves.

The Demon Emperor is tyrannical; the human race will punish him!
Crimson banners fluttered in the wind!

The Imperial Advisor held a long sword made entirely of crimson gold, stood atop a mane-covered giant elephant, and stared intently at Cloud Heart Lake a hundred miles away, his expression indifferent and devoid of emotion.

"Imperial Advisor, is today truly the best time to strike down the Demon Emperor?"

On either side of the Imperial Preceptor stood two burly generals, one riding a sharp-toothed tiger and carrying two crimson-gold axes, the other riding a one-horned rhinoceros and wielding a coiled dragon golden spear. Both exuded a powerful and profound aura, even surpassing Yun Wuzheng in strength.

"The Demon Emperor was ambitious and wanted to suppress the will of Heaven with his own mind to achieve the highest realm that no one had ever reached before. Unfortunately, he was just a hair's breadth away from it and suffered a backlash from Heaven's will. He was seriously injured, and the entire demon race also suffered the wrath of Heaven's will."

The Imperial Advisor explained slowly.

"Grand Preceptor, you can also sense the changes in the Heavenly Heart?"

The burly general riding a tiger and carrying an axe spoke with some surprise.

"Use your brain more; if you can grasp the changes in the will of Heaven, His Majesty must have sensed them."

Another general, holding a golden spear, spoke calmly.

Hey, it's me.

The general with the axe raised an eyebrow, his aura rapidly rising, causing the tiger beneath him to howl in agony.

"Generals, please do not be angry. The changes in the Heavenly Heart were indeed sensed by His Majesty, so do not worry. Since His Majesty summoned us here, it must be because that Demon Emperor is on his last legs and is about to die."

The two generals withdrew their gaze, and the general with the gun sighed, "Our human race has overcome countless obstacles and hardships, growing from weak to being on par with the demon race. This is inseparable from the protection and dedication of generations of human emperors."

"Your Majesty's achievements are unparalleled, making you arguably the strongest emperor in history!"

"The human race shall prosper under Your Majesty's rule!"

When this was mentioned, the Imperial Advisor and another general also showed expressions of reverence.

And at the very moment those words were spoken.

Rumble——!
Suddenly, Yunxin Lake in the distance trembled, its waters churning and rising, overflowing and spreading towards the land. At the same time, an incredibly powerful aura rose from the lake.

"It's the Demon Emperor!!"

The Imperial Advisor's expression suddenly changed.

next moment.

Moo-!
A dragon's roar that shook the world resounded from the lake.

Immediately, a huge black shadow rushed out, its dragon-like body stretching for thousands of miles rolling in the clouds, stirring up the wind and clouds, thunder rumbling, and strong winds rolling, as if the end of the world was approaching.

The two generals soared into the sky.

The Imperial Advisor also suddenly drew the crimson gold longsword from his bosom.

An aura of imperial power rapidly spread from the sword, calming the strange phenomena in the world and confronting the demonic aura emanating from the demon emperor.

Also at this time.

The dragon's body, which had been churning in the clouds, shrank rapidly, eventually transforming into a majestic man dressed in a black robe with dragon patterns, who stood in mid-air before them.

"Demon Emperor! You are cruel and tyrannical! Today, our human army, under the command of the Human Emperor, has come to take your life!"

The two generals roared and transformed into two beams of light, rushing straight toward the imposing man in a black robe with dragon patterns.

But with a casual wave of his hand, the two generals were struck as if by an invisible force, crashing heavily into the earth below, causing the ground within a hundred miles to tremble and raising endless clouds of dust.

"You're not hurt?!"

Upon seeing this, the Imperial Advisor's expression changed. He gripped his crimson-gold longsword and slashed fiercely at the imposing man.

Wow——!
The power of heaven and earth surged forth. At this moment, the longsword seemed to be the heart of heaven, commanding the power of heaven and earth to follow, transforming into endless destructive power.

The Human Emperor Sword was forged by the first Human Emperor and nurtured by successive Human Emperors for tens of thousands of years. It has long since shed its mortal form and is now the only divine weapon in the human world!
The Imperial Advisor looked nervous and uneasy.

The gazes from tens of thousands of miles away narrowed slightly.

The crimson-gold longsword suddenly stopped just a finger's width away from the imposing man, emitting a joyful sword cry.

"It seems you still recognize me."

The dignified man smiled slightly, reached out his right hand and snatched the Emperor's Sword from the Grand Preceptor's hand, stroking the blade with a mixture of familiarity and nostalgia.

Om-!
The longsword responded with a soft hum.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Imperial Advisor was stunned, and an unbelievable thought began to rapidly form in his mind.

"You are... the first Human Emperor?!"

The Imperial Advisor's voice trembled.

The dignified man chuckled lightly: "Not stupid at all. I was the first Human Emperor, I was the Purple Cloud Daoist, I was the First Ancestor of the Qilin, and I am also the current Ancestor of the Demon Race."

With each name he mentioned, the Grand Preceptor's face paled further, and even the figure tens of thousands of miles away suddenly stood up, causing the entire world to shake, and a vast aura soared into the sky.

The majestic man's gaze seemed to pierce through tens of thousands of miles of void, directly seeing the emperor whose expression showed shock. He smiled slightly and said, "Your talent is stronger than mine, but your cultivation time is too short. This first one in history is still mine."

After saying that, his aura surged, not expanding or rising, but undergoing a transformation!

The world suddenly changed color!

Dark clouds rolled in, and lightning flashed and thunder roared!
The majestic man gripped the Emperor's Sword, absorbing the accumulated power of his past lives hidden within it. His aura quickly broke through a bottleneck, reaching the next stage.

In an instant.

The dark clouds and lightning dissipated.

Then, auspicious seven-colored clouds appeared, and above the clouds were celestial palaces, radiating a hazy glow.

"This is...the Heavenly Palace?"

The Imperial Advisor murmured, his mind utterly stunned by the sight before him.

"I, Qin Wuzheng, have cultivated for ten thousand years, not vying for the title of Human Emperor, but only for the title of Heavenly Emperor!"

"I am the greatest of all time!"

The dignified man shouted in a deep voice.

A ray of rosy light descended from the heavenly palace, completely enveloping him and guiding him upwards to the majestic celestial palace amidst the auspicious seven-colored clouds.

In the secluded cave.

Qin Zheng slowly opened his eyes, a look of ancient vicissitude flashing within them, accompanied by an even more powerful aura rising from his body.

The Divine Ancient Realm has been achieved!
After leaving the ancestral land of the Tianyuan Ancient Clan, thanks to the Great Dao Tianyuan Bow actively entering his heart sea, the powerful figures of the Nine Provinces dared not provoke the human race for the time being, thus winning a period of peace.

During this period, he also sorted out his own martial arts and realized the way to advance, which was to make his inner world transform into reality, and at the same time, to have a master in the Heavenly Palace, the Human World, and the Underworld to suppress it.

That's why he separated a wisp of his spirit, cleared all his memories, and entered his inner world to promote the appearance of the three supreme powerhouses.

Now that the Heavenly Palace has a master, his cultivation has successfully broken through from the Spirit Ancient to the Divine Ancient, reaching the second step of the Ancient Realm.

According to Qin Zheng's own speculation, as long as the Underworld has another master, it can advance to the third step of Dao Ancient, and once the human world is unified and the three realms are in operation, it can advance to the Extreme Ancient Realm!
"It's a pity that it's too difficult for a human ruler who can suppress an entire realm to appear. Even with his active participation and the blessing of the time-manipulation supernatural power, it still took a hundred years for Qin Wuzheng to appear and advance to the Divine Ancient Realm."

"It is unknown how long it will be before the next ruler of the underworld appears."

Thoughts surged through Qin Zheng's mind. He then gently shook his head, stood up, and walked out of the cave. After a hundred years of seclusion, it was time to go and see the land of the Nine Provinces.

He stepped out of the cave.

Just then, the powerful demon ancestor arrived: "A hundred years of divine ancient times, I feel that if I give you another hundred years, you will be able to step into the Dao Ancient Realm."

The Demon Ancestor's expression was somewhat complicated.

Qin Zheng shook his head. His accumulation of knowledge was temporarily exhausted, and advancing to the Dao Ancient realm was still a long way off. However, he didn't explain further and asked, "Demonic Ancestor, is there something you need?"

The Demon Ancestor composed himself and said seriously, "Another relic has appeared on the Thousand Floating Islands of the Nine Provinces, suspected to have been left by an ancient clan other than the Tianyuan Clan. We need to go and take a look." (End of Chapter)
