A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 631 Holy Emperor of the Sun
Qilin Cliff.

Qi Jing looked up at the vast universe and stared at the Taiyin Holy Emperor, who now only had a three-lifetime old body left on the throne. His expression faltered slightly.

He muttered to himself, "How long has it been? Maybe 500,000 years? And they're already so eager to sever the Heavenly Heart Mark, abdicate the throne, and leave the Great Universe?"

"It would be great to continue doing this. We Immortal Kings have all instructed our subordinate sects to send them immortal pills and elixirs every year that can increase lifespan, cultivation, and spiritual power."

"Moreover, during their reign, they can accumulate a considerable amount of Xuanhuang merit. After serving for a million years, it will be enough to exchange for the opportunity to enter the origin of the Great Universe and comprehend the laws of the Immortal Emperors."

Although that's what she said, a hint of envy rose in Saki's heart.

Back then, I was naive and thought that after breaking through to the King Realm, I could roam freely in the Chaos Realm, and even if I was defeated, I could escape unscathed. I was a bit too arrogant. As a result, after arriving in the Great Universe, I fell into the hands of the Spirit Treasure Celestial Venerable and was forced to sign a contract witnessed by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

Even now, he still has to set aside an avatar to stay on the edge of the universe, to open up chaos and create life-bearing star fields, without receiving a single bit of Xuanhuang merit. Although his other treatment is not bad, recently several pure-blooded true phoenix avatars at the level of supreme true immortals have come to visit and lend him a hand at his workstation.

But even this Qilin Immortal King wants to retire.

Having performed the creation of the world countless times, this experience alone could probably be compiled into a volume of Immortal King techniques at the level of a Celestial King giant. After working day and night for so many years, even an Emperor Light Immortal King would be somewhat mentally exhausted from being so relentlessly exploited.

He muttered to himself, “On another note, this fellow Daoist Taiyin’s Daoist magic and supernatural powers are truly remarkable. He is indeed worthy of being the Emperor Light Immortal King, who was ‘reincarnated’ from an ancient era and is infinitely close to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm. So many of us Immortal Kings have not noticed when the Heavenly Heart Mark was transferred to the old body over the years.”

Qi Jing stretched out his claws and slowly pinched them. "According to the calculation that it takes ten thousand years for the Heavenly Heart Mark to dissipate the Extreme Dao Law, the transfer of this Heavenly Heart Mark will take at least ten thousand years. Moreover, this transfer is to its own old body. The time it takes for the Heavenly Heart Mark to remove the Extreme Dao Law will be even longer. Conservatively speaking, the transfer will take at least fifty thousand years."

His clenched fingers paused, a hint of hesitation on his face. "However, how did this fellow practitioner of the Taiyin Dao manage to make the lifespan of his old body decline so logically after consuming various elixirs and pills? I still can't figure out what the problem is."

Qi Jing didn't continue his calculations. Having fallen into so many traps over the years, he was now very self-aware.

Even a Celestial King like myself, who already possesses a faint trace of Imperial Aura, cannot fathom this matter; it must be a great secret. Moreover, it's at least a trap involving supreme beings, a pitfall with a chance of costing the Qilin its life. In that case, let this secret remain buried forever; there's no need to risk one's own life.

"Although the Taiyin friend has deserted his post, the way he directly caused the Heavenly Heart Imprint to reappear on the Mythical Battlefield immediately after leaving his old body is indeed well controlled. It prevents some Immortal Kings from having their plans thwarted and becoming angry."

"I wonder which being will be able to successfully remove this Heavenly Heart Mark next."

Suddenly, Qi Jing stared blankly at the orange-red sun slowly rising over the mythical battlefield.

At this moment, not only was Qi Jing stunned, but even the Immortal Kings of the Henghai Domain, such as Qing Yue, Jin Feng, and Yun Long, as well as the Immortal Kings of other Great Realms, paused slightly.
-
Within the Spirit Realm, in the spiritual universe where the Celestial Kings' Conference is held.

A powerful Immortal King from the Eternal Sea Domain, with a hint of hesitation, slowly said, "If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be the technique of the Long Night Immortal King?"

The terrifying blazing sun that the Immortal King Changye unleashed in the Henghai Region back then still retains some traces. The scorching power left by his Immortal King technique is something that even today's top Immortal Kings must take seriously. Such terrifying power is enough to prove the terror of this Dao technique.

Of course, the most crucial point is that the Immortal King of the Long Night has already departed from all the heavens and myriad realms, disappearing without a trace along with certain beings from the past. Now that this Immortal King's technique has reappeared in the world, it will surely become a special guiding light. Does this mean that this Immortal King is about to return to all the heavens and myriad realms?

Yunlong also looked surprised and doubtful. "This is indeed the technique that Fellow Daoist Changye used back then. Did you find this Fellow Daoist Taiyang from Mount Funiu? When Fellow Daoist Changye left Chaos, did he also form a connection with Laozi on Mount Funiu?"

But then, Yunlong rubbed his chin and said softly with a subtle tone, "I must say, the Immortal King Technique of 'Mending the Sky and Bathing the Sun' is indeed quite suitable for Fellow Daoist Sun. You possess the Immortal Body of the Sun, cultivate the 'Dao' and 'Dharma' of the Sun, and your Human Body Secret Realm is also forged based on the power of the Sun God."

"If one does not pursue the attainment of the supreme Dao Ancestor, there is no need to learn other methods. With just this 'Mending the Sky and Bathing the Sun' technique, one can ascend to immortality in the mortal world and has a very high probability of successfully overcoming the tribulations of the rules of the heavens and attaining the Dao Fruit of the Immortal King."

Jin Feng crossed his arms, a slight smile playing on his lips. "It seems many of our fellow Daoists have miscalculated again. It's quite interesting that an Immortal King who has attained the Immortal King Dao Fruit can't compete with the current prodigy. Both of these battles for the Heavenly Heart have been quite entertaining. I'm looking forward to the next battle for the Heavenly Heart."

Many Immortal Kings and Supreme Giants, like Jin Feng, looked at the Mythical Battlefield with great interest, occasionally glancing at the dozens of Immortal Kings present who had already completed their "reincarnation" and whose faces were dark to the point of being bluish, watching the fun that had just arrived.
-
On the battlefield of mythology.

A solemn-faced supreme emperor held a small stone tower covered with golden blazing sun patterns. His body was surrounded by boundless heat of "Dao" and "Dharma". He constantly unleashed terrifying immortal attacks symbolizing concepts such as "sun", "light", "flames" and "annihilation", suppressing nearly a hundred supreme emperors who had lived three lifetimes.

In the dim light, along the tributaries of this long river of time in the vast universe, streaks of blazing fire appeared, reflecting a phantom of a sun that surpasses all things, possessing supreme power.

A former Immortal King whose Dao Fruit was incomplete and who was "reincarnating" to rebuild his cultivation looked at the terrifying Sun Emperor in front of him with a grim face. "To be able to exert the Immortal King's Law to such an extent with just the Human Dao Domain is simply too outrageous. This has even left a Dao Imprint on the River of Time!"

"Although the current offensive power has not reached the level of a top-tier True Immortal, and the 'Dao' and 'Dharma' it possesses have only touched the threshold of the late True Immortal stage and have not yet been completely crossed, this is a characteristic that only Immortal King giants possess when launching a King-level offensive!"

"That's an exaggeration!"

A certain being, surrounded by a wisp of icy mist, was also a third-generation emperor whose previous life's Immortal King Dao Fruit was incomplete and who was currently "reincarnating" to rebuild his cultivation. Staring at the Sun Emperor in front of him, he gritted his teeth and growled, "This sight makes me want to unleash my Immortal King weapon and give this fellow Sun Daoist a good beating, no matter the cost!"

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Emperor, who was holding a blue umbrella made of celestial gold, hurriedly said, "Senior, please don't be impulsive. The new tacit understanding has just been reached. Once we use the Immortal King weapon from our past lives, who knows which one of us will suddenly pull out some incredible object? At that time, it will really be a matter of life and death!"

"Senior, think of the lesson learned from the Taiyin Holy Emperor five hundred thousand years ago!"

The faces of the dozens of emperors who were in the process of "reincarnation" and rebuilding their cultivation became even darker, and their resentment soared to the heavens, but in the end they all held back.

The Supreme Emperor holding the azure umbrella made of celestial gold was right. Although they didn't think any Supreme Emperor present could do something as unreasonable as "pulling out a wisp of imperial light," and they desperately wanted to directly summon the Immortal King weapon to make this Sun Emperor lose the power to pluck the heart of heaven, what if he did?
If such a bizarre event were to actually occur, it would be a decisive blow, extinguishing even the slightest hope of our current competition. "Let's launch a joint immortal attack and eliminate this fellow Daoist of the Sun first, otherwise none of us will be able to successfully seize the Heavenly Heart!"

"Indeed, it possesses some characteristics of an attack launched by a Celestial King-level giant. This is a bit too outrageous. Let's eliminate this Sun Emperor first!"

"His resemblance to the Taiyin Holy Emperor is too great. We should eliminate him first. If he pulls out some powerful weapon first, even using a Celestial King weapon will be useless!"

Several emperors who were in the process of "reincarnation" and rebuilding their cultivation spoke up, instantly causing everyone to fall into deep thought.

In the blink of an eye, countless immortal laws erupted from their hands, forming terrifying immortal attacks that struck the Sun Emperor. Hundreds, even thousands, of these laws, carrying terrifying killing intent, overcame numerous obstacles in an instant, determined to leave the emperor dead on the spot.

A long spear, cleaving through the sky, tore through space and time, descending upon the mortal realm with the power of annihilation; a blunt, heavy sword, proudly standing amidst the flames, slashed down with immortal golden energy and boundless force; an ancient dagger sliced ​​through shadows, piercing the light of time, aiming straight for the center of the brow.
These are all immortal attacks launched by one or even multiple complete immortal laws, which are terrifying and completely surpass ordinary three-generation emperors. Normal cultivators who have reached the ultimate level cannot even withstand the aftershocks of the attacks. If they come into contact with them even slightly, they will suffer severe injuries and bleed on the spot.

However, the Sun Emperor stared at the attack before him, his face utterly calm as he reached out and lightly touched the void.

"Wow."

Spacetime suddenly seemed to be subjected to an irresistible and terrifying force, and an extremely massive celestial body suddenly appeared in the surrounding void, causing a huge distortion.

Darkness descended, like the most brilliant back of the sun, carrying a terror that made countless beings tremble, emanating wisps of indescribable blasphemous whispers, about to unleash the filth of all things, turning heaven and earth into an endless night without a single ray of light.

"crash"

Each and every attack of the immortal path was being eroded, and all sorts of terrifying immortal laws were being digested by an indescribable substance, disappearing without a trace.

On the mythical battlefield, the expressions of hundreds of emperors changed drastically.

"impossible!"

"If we join forces to launch an attack, even a supreme immortal would fall dead on the spot. Why?!"

"What kind of Immortal King technique is this? Why does it feel so unfamiliar, yet strangely familiar at the same time?!"

"Strange. This is definitely the magic of strange beings! This indescribable eeriness could never be cultivated by any being in the myriad realms!"

The Sun Emperor once again waved his hand in the void, as if lifting a curtain, or perhaps reversing all paths and laws. The deep darkness revealed its true face, rising with billions of scorching rays of light, reflecting a phantom of the sun, which was no different from the Dao shadow above the tributary of the long river of time in the universe.

In an instant, a scorching red-orange sun appeared on the platforms of all the emperors present and exploded out of thin air, completely evaporating each and every supreme primordial spirit.

"boom"

One after another, the sound of falling to the ground rang out. One after another, the royal corpses lay on the mythical battlefield, without any visible injuries. However, a portion of the human universe within the royal body had been evaporated, and not a trace of the Immortal Platform remained. Even a small section of the great dragon of the spine had been burned.

At this moment, only a handful of emperors still have the strength to stand on the mythical battlefield. They are all emperors who have cultivated the complete Immortal King Dao Fruit in their previous lives and whose cultivation is close to that of the ultimate Immortal King. They are in the process of "reincarnation" and rebuilding.

A third-generation emperor who had "reincarnated" from the Henghai Domain into the Great Universe said with a deep and certain expression, "That incomparably deep and dark night just now, and that strange and indescribable power, were the magic of the Long Night Immortal King."

The Sun Emperor nodded slightly. "Indeed, this is the power of the reversed 'Mending the Sky and Bathing the Sun'. The boundless blazing sun can illuminate all living beings and purify the mortal world. When its power is reversed, it should also be able to defile all things in heaven and earth and bring endless night to all spirits."

A third-generation emperor, wielding a massive shield imbued with the profound Daoist essence of the King Realm, murmured softly, "The Immortal King of Long Night. Perhaps this is one of the origins of the title 'Long Night'."

He slowly shook his head. "By using the resources from my previous life first, I lost. I lost completely."

Immediately afterwards, the Third Emperor gave the Sun Emperor a deep look and said in an inexplicable tone, "I never thought that such a being would be born in this world who is so well-suited to the Daoist technique of 'Mending the Sky and Bathing the Sun' and has also successfully cultivated the 'Return to One Method'. He has unleashed a primordial spirit attack of the level of a top True Immortal with his own power."

“Incredible.”

The Sun Emperor remained silent, gently plucked the Heavenly Heart, and merged it into the Sendai.

However, as the myriad paths rearranged, he frowned slightly. "With the Immortal King's foundation empowering me, my cultivation level instantly rose, and I completely entered the late stage of True Immortal. Yet, the two strands of Dao Ancestor's fortune only wavered slightly and did not choose me."

"Was it because I used 'Mending the Sky and Bathing in the Sun' to unleash a supreme True Immortal-level attack that doesn't conform to the true meaning of 'ascending to immortality through one's own combat power'? Or is it because there are extremely strict requirements for one's own cultivation level, requiring one to possess the cultivation level of a late-stage True Immortal before merging with the Heavenly Heart?"

A soft sigh echoed across the mythical battlefield.

The era of the Sun Emperor has arrived.
