A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 668 Invading the Ecuadorian Land
Beyond all the heavens and myriad realms.

The two half-Dark Immortal Emperors, who were working hard to break the Immortal Emperor's Grand Array, stopped and turned their gazes toward the direction of the Soul River, their expressions astonished.

The Dark Immortal Emperor of the Ancient Underworld looked incredulous and muttered to himself, "The Long Night has broken free from the shackles laid down by the Ancestor. The River of Souls has exploded?"

The Dark Immortal Emperor of the Four Extremes Floating Earth remained calm. "That's obviously the case. Incidentally, Changye also swallowed the ants on the banks of the Soul River as snacks. Now, his combat power is probably close to that of the ancient supreme beings in the Calamity Land."

He looked at the high priest, whose expression held a hint of surprise and doubt, and asked, "Should we go and appease Changye? Being suppressed by the Ancestor, no matter the reason, must be unpleasant, especially since Changye has cultivated such terrifying combat power under the Ancestor's confinement."

Si Wu looked at the vanished River of Souls and stared at the figure that had already embarked on the void path to the Calamity Land. After a moment of silence, he said, "Chang Ye has already headed towards the Calamity Land. The fellow Daoist who is stationed there will handle it. For now, we should focus our efforts on the myriad realms and not be distracted."

“You all know how powerful Huang is. Under the protection and guidance of the Emperor, the Boundary Sea and Chaos are now experiencing one prosperous era of cultivation after another. I worry that if this continues, after tens of millions of years, another great enemy, who can dominate the ages and is similar to Huang, will emerge.”

"Even if it's impossible for a second enemy to appear who is nearly as powerful as the Desolate One, the appearance of another opponent who is nearly an Emperor would still be an extremely troublesome problem. This kind of Immortal Emperor, who is proficient in the Dao of Time and scheming, has a way of setting up plans that are too seamless. We have been schemed against by the Emperor too many times."

The Dark Immortal Emperor of the Ancient Underworld and the Four Extremes Floating Lands also remained silent for a few breaths before slowly nodding.

Compared to the long night of cultivating by absorbing dark matter, dealing with the myriad realms of the heavens is indeed the primary task that must be tackled first.

Within the barrier erected by the Emperor, several quasi-Immortal Emperor level warriors have already emerged. Even though they are all ants with limited potential and no hope of reaching the highest level of the path, if this trend continues, sooner or later, one "Secret Realm Law" Dao Ancestor with the potential to become an Immortal Emperor will be born.

If several Dao Ancestors of the "Secret Realm Method" were to truly attain Immortal Emperor status, the extent to which Huang, as the ancestor of the system, would experience a surge in power would be beyond their comprehension. Furthermore, there's the Emperor Venerable; if just one more such formidable adversary were to appear, the myriad realms would truly be completely out of their control.

A hint of hesitation appeared in the eyes of the Dark Immortal Emperor of the Ancient Underworld, which gradually turned into determination. "The development of the myriad realms is gradually being lost under the obstruction of the Emperor. Even if it is not as good as when Huang set up the barrier, it is almost the same."

"Our methods may need to be more aggressive. We can no longer be too concerned about losses. We need to mobilize more resources and go all out to annihilate all the worlds in a short period of time."

Si Wu nodded and looked in the direction of E Tu. "In that case, send a message to the rear and mobilize more cannon fodder to continuously deplete the spiritual power within, and do everything possible to wear down the array patterns of this Immortal Emperor's Grand Array, so that the Emperor will be put to eternal oblivion as soon as possible."

"It just so happens that the Long Night has swallowed the entire Soul River, giving us a suitable excuse to extract more resources from those wealthy and powerful fellow Daoists."

As the Dark Immortal Emperor of the Four Extremes Floating Land, Yongyu remained relatively silent, not uttering a single word.

Since the birth of "Mysterious Lord" within the Dao Fruit at the end of the road, and the subsequent return of "Mysterious Lord" to the Calamity Land, his spiritual awareness has been steadily increasing. His perception of the future and its connections to himself has surpassed the limits of his past peak combat power and cultivation, seemingly unrestricted by the "Dao" and "Dharma" he cultivates.

Now, Yongyu felt a strange sense of unease about Siwu's arrangements, as if a special and subtle obstacle was approaching, blocking all normal arrangements and making things no longer go smoothly.

However, he said nothing and remained silent as always, giving the two Dark Immortal Emperors beside him an almost tacit understanding.

Si Wu was slightly surprised not to hear Yong Yu offer any dissenting opinions, but he didn't think too much about it. This fellow Daoist, whose Dao Fruit had run into problems and who could only unleash the most basic Dao Fruit combat power, was automatically relinquishing more of his say due to the drastic decline in his combat strength, which was a good thing for him.

Si Wu stretched out his hand and condensed a unique power, containing strands of information and the decisions of the three Dark Immortal Emperors, and sent it directly towards the direction of E Tu.

He muttered to himself, "Now, we will wait for the reply from our fellow Daoists behind us."

"As soon as they receive this message, support will immediately converge, and all kinds of resources and cannon fodder will be continuously sent."

The three Dark Immortal Emperors all turned their gazes toward E'tu, their expressions varying. Some were indifferent and calm, some harbored deep-seated expectations, and some were contemplating their future plans. But without exception, they all harbored the deepest malice toward all the heavens and myriad realms.
-
On the void path connecting the River of Souls and the Land of Calamity.

Changye quietly sensed Yongyu's emotional fluctuations and chuckled.

He muttered to himself, “I feel ‘discomfort’. ‘Discomfort’ is right. If I don’t feel ‘discomfort’, then there’s something wrong with me.”

“The power of the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit of the Emperor Venerable is still in the hands of this clone of mine. Once you successfully borrow its power, the ‘barrier’ formed by the Spirit Realm and several Immortal Emperor formations will not be able to withstand two half-mad Dark Immortal Emperors.”

“Sending a message to Ecuador to gather all kinds of resources and cannon fodder is exactly what I want.”

Suddenly, Changye stopped in his tracks, looking at the magnificent continent floating in front of him, its fragments filled with thick dark matter. He glanced at the causal relationships within it, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

He murmured to himself, "These are some fragments that broke off when Shi Hao fought in the Great Battle of E'tu."

"After fighting those Dark Immortal Emperors in the Evil Land for so long, he not only took the opportunity to gather a lot of information, but also calmly laid out plans and left me food. He truly deserves to be called the Desolate Heaven Emperor."

With a gentle wave of his hand, He unleashed a torrent of divine power, a chaotic yet primordial divine light that instantly enveloped the magnificent continents before Him, whose combined size rivaled that of countless worlds. He regarded them as the "Dao" and the "Dharma," and offered them as a sacrifice to the Dao Fruit within His own body.

A series of subtle vibrations echoed within the Dao Fruits, not only accelerating the digestion of the seven Dao Fruits at the end of the road within His body, but also instantly boosting the strength of His Imperial Body and Blood Qi, thus enhancing His immediate combat power.

[Ritual: Darkness - Ritual]
Rank: Sacrificial Path

Source: Shi Hao

Description: A ritualistic method derived from the insights of a mysterious progenitor, where one sacrifices the ways of others to achieve self-realization.

[Progress of the Ritual: 91.48% (Normalization Method)]

Changye glanced at the panel information projected from the [Gray Mist Space] and muttered to himself, "About ten percent more is needed; that's the true 'end of the road awaiting sublimation.' Very close, very close to the sacrificial path." "I need more nourishment."

As the long night marched forward once more, countless time-space nodes spontaneously converged beneath His feet, making His figure leap toward the Evil Land with ever-increasing speed, until He traversed a vast distance equivalent to the size of all the heavens and myriad worlds in a single step.

"tread!"

As the long night maintained this pace, taking thousands upon thousands of steps, a desolate sound echoed in his ears as he stepped into the empty ocean. Looking around, he saw only surging, dark blood-red waves, devoid of any life, all remnants of heaven and earth, broken ruins.

This is a sea sacrifice, a sea formed from the ruins created after a bizarre and powerful sacrifice, which was once a multiverse equivalent to the myriad realms of the heavens.

Through the connection between Mingming and the dark matter within his body, Changye sensed a unique pull on the path through the void. It was as intimate as a mother who nurtures all things, and as if a lingering echo remained after a grand sacrifice.

With a slight pull, the cause and effect between them became clear, and the source of this strange sensation was the "original" birthplace of dark matter, a plateau at a level equivalent to half a step above the sacrificial path.

"Heh, as expected, as long as one uses dark matter to cultivate, as long as one steps into a cultivation system tainted by darkness, regardless of whether one digests this eerie and ominous feeling, one will inevitably be affected by it."

"However, it's not without its advantages, such as the convenience of rapidly returning from eternal silence by leveraging the power of the plateau, which goes without saying. What's most important to me right now is the 'Tao' and 'Dharma' contained within it, which allows me to continue to fill the gaps in the completeness of the [Gray Fog Space]."

A glint of desire flashed in Changye's eyes. Merely touching the primordial matter of the two progenitors had already increased the integrity of the [Gray Mist Space] by 2%. It was hard to imagine just how much fortune the entire plateau itself symbolized. This was a way to rapidly enhance the essence of the [Gray Mist Space] and its own foundation, although it carried terrifying hidden dangers.

As time passed, the edge of the Evil Land was faintly visible in the long night, a "multiverse" that was even larger than the heavens and the myriad worlds.

"call"

As if sensing the terrifying pressure emanating from Him, a tall, thin figure suddenly tore through space and time from within the Calamity Land, raising countless shattered strands of "Dao" to block His path.

A violent aura, also belonging to the level of a Great Tyrannosaurus Rex, emanated from this figure, resonating with the great universes within the Calamity Land behind him. It projected strands of dark matter at the level of the End of the Road, shaping a gray-white lightning universe that enveloped the entire Void Road.

The Dark Immortal Emperor shouted, "Changye, breaking the Ancestor's restraints is already a provocation. Once the Ancestor defeats Huang, you will be the first person he deals with!"

"Even if the Ancestor ignores it, there are several fellow Daoists on the verge of ascension who will come to settle accounts with you!"

"Given this situation, what are you doing here?!"

After a pause, the Dark Immortal Emperor revealed a slightly mocking smile, "Does this mean you've realized your mistake and want to apologize to the Ancestor?"

The progenitor actively suppressed a being whose cultivation system was even more bizarre than their own race. Not only the Dark Immortal Emperors, but even the Supreme Dao Ancestors and Quasi-Immortal Emperors in the Calamity Land had heard of this.

Not long ago, Changye broke free from the Ancestor's restraints and transformed the entire River of Souls into a part of himself, a feat that shocked the world. Although the Dark Immortal Emperor, who was stationed in the Calamity Land, could not leave the Calamity Land without permission due to his duties, he clearly saw Changye's action of severing the chains of divine rules.

The newly ascended Dark Immortal Emperor of the Long Night possessed formidable power, yet his utter disrespect for the progenitors automatically excluded him from their lineage. Even though this Dark Immortal Emperor possessed a wisp of primordial matter bestowed by the God of War, and carried the karma of more than one progenitor.

Since he was not a member of the Strange Clan, it was impossible for them to allow Changye to approach the rear of the Calamity Land. This was the main reason why the Dark Immortal Emperor, who was stationed in the Calamity Land, came to stop Changye.

In an instant, the figure of the Dark Immortal Emperor solidified completely in front of Changye, revealing its appearance and physique, which were similar to those of a normal living being.

This is a tall, thin, middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in a light gray robe, holding a white whisk that is almost the color of bones. Streaks of gray-white lightning, as if lifeless, swirl around his body, resonating with endless rules and in harmony with all kinds of logic.

He shouted, "Changye Immortal Emperor, leave now! Calamity Land is not a place you can come to!"

Looking at the tall, thin Taoist priest, Changye sighed softly. He knew that entering the Calamity Land would not be so easy.

Especially after Shi Hao's experience of infiltrating, these Dark Immortal Emperors guarding the Evil Land will be even more vigilant and will never allow a creature that is not trusted to enter the rear of the Strange Clan.

The trouble that Shi Hao caused to Etu was too great, especially after he no longer needed to spare power to protect the myriad realms.

Even ignoring the great universes that were destroyed in the fierce battles at the end of the road, the worlds that contained life and creation, and dark matter, as well as the many supreme Dao Ancestors who perished with the aftershocks, the Dark Immortal Emperor alone was forever silenced during that period. Even if he could be revived by relying on the plateau, it was still enough to be called a massive upheaval that was rare even in tens of millions of eras.

"I came to Evil Land to seek ultimate sublimation," Changye said calmly.

Before He could finish speaking, the middle-aged Taoist coldly shouted, "Therefore, you should leave even more. As long as you can gain the Ancestor's forgiveness, you can obtain even greater power!"

Changye drew a spear from the long river of time, its imperial blood still fresh, and smiled. "Besides that, I've also come to seek fellow Daoists who share my path."

The whispered chanting of the "Return to the Floating Li Path" rose in the void, echoing at the current point in time. A terrifying and eerie burst of magic erupted, enveloping the Dark Immortal Emperor who stood in his way. His imperial body and primordial spirit were both affected by the chaos and disorder, and his consciousness and true spirit seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, forcing them to slow down.

The next instant, the bleeding imperial spear burst forth, piercing through the emperor's body and plunging the Dark Immortal Emperor into the Calamity Land, along with a small fragment carrying an eerie and ominous aura.

Changye's figure flickered and appeared beside him, revealing a strange and insane smile.

"Fellow Daoist, how about we embark on this journey together?"
