The Heaven-shattering: Starting from Simulating Becoming an Emperor

Chapter 188: Immortal Road, Supreme Suspicion
The flickering firelight is confusing and disorienting.

The mighty imperial aura permeates the eight wildernesses and nine heavens, and the golden avenue extends with thousands of threads, suppressing the world.

When Zhang Huan stepped onto Mars, his energy and blood were as vigorous as the sea, and he was filled with murderous intent. Four spiritual swords surrounded his body, and he walked with a formation diagram on his head. The phantom of the immortal bell evolved thousands of laws behind him.

When he arrived at the Immortal Road, he stopped to observe and sensed some familiar aura.

"It's like the immortal path that the God Emperor used to lure me in his previous life."

In that life, Immortality also manifested a path to immortality in the same way. Comparing the two, Zhang Huan felt they were very similar.

Even the general outline of the Immortal Road gave me a sense of déjà vu. If there was any difference, it was only that the place of landing was wrong.

But Bu Si is an old expert in playing with the Immortal Road. Things like moving the entrance to a new position are not difficult for him at all.

In ancient Mars, life no longer exists and only a few restricted areas remain.

The watching Supreme whispered.

"Has he also come to the Immortal Road to conquer? As expected, anyone who has the opportunity will not miss this chance to become an immortal."

They were not surprised, because they would do the same if they were in his shoes. Even if it wasn't long since he became emperor, he would try again to become an immortal. If he succeeded, he would be able to transcend and live forever.

Someone recognized the shadow evolving behind Zhang Huan.

"It's actually the Immortal Bell? He already has a magic sword formation, plus an immortal weapon. Even if his Taoism is not yet perfect and he is still a long way from being a true emperor, he can still give it a try!"

Fairy bell.
When the bell rang, countless bones were buried. It was well-known in the mythological era and was hailed as a legendary treasure, involving the supreme avenue of time and with unpredictable powers.

It's not like the Chengxian Ding where all the gods are gone and it's broken into pieces.

It is complete and in perfect condition from beginning to end.

The one who has realized the Great Dao of Time is naturally able to defeat the Supreme Being. With one ring of the bell, all life will be wiped out. It is the weapon that the Supreme Being fears the most. In their eyes, it is equivalent to a perfect ancient emperor.

It is even better than that. There is no doubt about the value of the Immortal Bell!

"The Immortal Bell rarely appears. It is said to have come from ancient Kunlun and is closely related to the Kunlun people. Could it be that...
Yes, this boy’s bloodline is similar to that of the ancient emperor of the Zhang family, and he is also a descendant of Kunlun, no wonder he is followed by the Immortal Bell.”

The son of destiny is different. When he lacks strength, he makes up for it with external things. He has sword formations and magic weapons. Even the Supreme Being is envious.

"I don't know what happened to the fellow Taoists in the Immortal Road. Whether they have become immortals or not. The entrance of the cave blocks all senses. We can only judge by the overflowing imperial laws from them."

"Wait, have we forgotten something?!"

A supreme being solemnly called a halt as if awakened.

"How many years after Taiyin's death is this now?"

“More than two thousand years.”

"In more than two thousand years, can we eliminate the suppression of the Great Dao and allow people to become the new emperor?"

After these words were spoken, all the supreme beings fell silent.

My mind seemed to suddenly become clear, and I finally uncovered the relevant part with this reminder.

Yes, Taiyin just disappeared more than two thousand years ago, and the throne collapsed. Logically speaking, the heaven and earth are still suppressing the cultivators to become emperors, and it is impossible for new people to achieve enlightenment to appear.

But this is what happened, and they were unaware of it. It was as if they had collective amnesia and had forgotten the principle that they could not achieve enlightenment!
"We are the Supreme Beings, transcending the world, standing at the top of the universe. Who can tamper with my memory? And it's not just me, but also the rules of heaven and earth."

Some supreme beings wanted to talk but stopped themselves, unable to believe that this was the work of some living being. But as they were supreme beings, how could they lose their memory, especially for such an important matter?

As their divine thoughts swept across the heavens and myriad realms, they suddenly realized that not only them, but all living beings in the world were still kept in the dark and thought that their way forward was blocked.

They believed that it was natural for one to attain enlightenment in this life, because the one who attained enlightenment suddenly occupied the throne and therefore could not become emperor.

Almost no one remembers the influence of Taiyin, let alone think about it that way.

"An invisible hand hidden behind the scenes has shaken the root of memory, causing all living things in the universe and even rewriting part of the rules."

How exaggerated, is this something that human beings can do? If they were not witnesses, they would not believe it.

“Could it be the Immortal Bell? No, it doesn’t have such a strong power, otherwise the Emperor would have been wiped out long ago.”

"Timers stir the river of time. If it is a higher-level law of time that acts on the universe, it is most likely to do this."

"You only need to fiddle with the time suppressed by the Great Dao a few times to make it dissipate on its own. For the rest, you can rely on the self-correcting power of the universe."

"That is to say, the memory we lost was not caused by human effort, but was the result of the correction of the universe. Someone just used it to achieve a certain purpose, and the aftereffects affected the Supreme Beings."

The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes. There are actually people like this in this universe.

Even if he was not the culprit who erased their memories, the ability to silently pry and even rewrite the laws of the universe also terrified the Supreme.

Is it an immortal? Or a more ultimate creature? They originally thought that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were just a small pond, and the Supreme Being was already extraordinary, but they didn't expect that there were such terrifying creatures hidden there, and they didn't even know anything about them.

"Whether he is an immortal or not, this person must have surpassed the extreme realm, and his height is beyond our reach."

"From the perspective of the person who benefits the most on the surface, could it be the person who preaches the truth in this world? No, it shouldn't be him. There must be someone else behind the scenes."

"This boy has already been followed by thousands of Daos before he has achieved Dao. He is the one favored by heaven and earth. There is no need for him to rewrite the rules of the Dao in order to achieve Dao.
Moreover, he also doesn't have the ability to do what we were far from capable of in the past. He is just a lucky 'victim'."

“The purpose of the person behind the scenes may not be simply to erase the suppression of the avenue. That would be useless to him and would expose his own existence.

It is very likely that even the avenue suppression that we recall is only a part of his methods, or radiation.
After all, that’s all we’ve noticed.”

The supreme beings quickly deduced and finally came to a common conclusion that the suppression of the Great Dao alone was most likely just the tip of the iceberg of the means used by the person behind the scenes.

There must be more, either hidden so deeply that they have not noticed, or have already surfaced but have been ignored and forgotten by them due to the irresistible force of correction.

“It’s the same with those who know everything. Even I feel a little scared.

This person is extremely powerful, but he is hidden in the dark side of history, unknown to the public. He has been dormant for thousands of years, and he must be playing a game of chess that will shake the world!"

"I wonder if we can find some clues in this related incident, or at least confirm some of their methods and capabilities."

There was a supreme being who took a deep breath in the fairyland, and felt scared.

Compared to them, this kind of people are the real terror of this universe, unknown and aloof, like a predator looking down from a high position, making people feel uneasy. "During the mythological years, there were many enlightened masters, but in the end only the nine great celestial masters and a few other masters were passed down, and the others all disappeared in the long river of history, and their whereabouts are unknown."

“The third emperor of the ancient times was Emperor Chao Ming, the one who achieved enlightenment in my previous life. He died in a strange way, not even leaving behind his lineage, and disappeared a thousand years before the collapse of the Dao.

After I attained enlightenment, I followed his footsteps for thousands of years, and finally found his last trace in a void crack, a bloody footprint."

"So, isn't Taiyin the same? The person behind the scenes is treating Ancient Emperor Tianzun as prey, slaughtering and killing him from time to time and devouring the emperor's blood?"

A group of former enlightened people were horrified, wondering how long it had been since they had felt this way. After deducing a horrifying truth hidden in ancient history, they could not help but feel fear.

It turns out that they were all watched by a pair of dangerous predators lurking in the dark, but they were lucky enough not to run around and cut themselves into the restricted area in their later years.
The outside world, before the road to becoming an immortal.

Zhang Huan stepped into the light curtain, was swallowed by the immortal light, and entered the immortal road.

What comes into view is a stone door, engraved with intricate inscriptions of the Great Dao, which seems to contain the ultimate laws of the universe and is extremely profound and vast.

Even if a royal figure came, it would be difficult to tell what was wrong for a while. If the props were not real enough, how could they lure the fish into the bait?

"Don't look at them. They were all carved by me in the old days to fool these country bumpkins who have never seen a fairy. They are flashy but not practical."

The immortal bell's words shattered the ancient emperor's dream of becoming an immortal.
"Have you ever seen a fairy?"

Zhang Huan asked with a somewhat amused look.

"I've never seen it, but that doesn't stop me from making it look real. I'll carve the immortal runes on it. No matter what their function is, as long as there are enough of them, those supreme beings won't be able to analyze anything."

Zhang Huan walked forward, mumbling in his heart.

"Oh, by the way, we're going to meet the Immortal Emperor soon, so be prepared first and don't go too deep. Just look around, and if you can't find him, forget it, your life is more important."

The immortal bell reminded that it cared more about the safety of its good partner Zhang Huan than immortality, as the lips and teeth are interdependent.

"If you don't meet him, wouldn't it be a waste of time for you to seek the skin of a tiger for so long? How can you attack Kunlun without him?"

"It's okay. As long as we don't hide from him on purpose, he will show up soon. After all, he is still tailing us."

The immortal bell hummed twice with pride, and those who didn't know would have thought that it had captured the Immortal Emperor.

In fact, the Immortal Emperor just didn't want the information that he was still alive to leak out, otherwise he would become the public enemy of the Supreme Being of the Universe, and it would be difficult for him to bathe in the emperor's blood in the future.

Taking this into consideration, he would definitely go find the Immortal Bell and either kill the god to silence him or subdue him. In any case, he would make sure that the god would never tell anyone about it.

When they reached a piece of empty land, the immortal bell sent out a divine sense, asking Zhang Huan to stop.

There are still a lot of imperial auras left here, there are several kinds, a great war broke out here, but it was cleared away not long ago.
"The location of the immortals is right here. We can't go any deeper, or I don't know what will happen next."

It was no longer just a shadow, but its true form emerged, standing in front of Zhang Huan, exuding a fairy spirit, and it was ready and alert.

"Why are you blocking my way? Are you afraid that I will be killed by a single blow?"

Zhang Huan secretly complained that he didn't seem that weak, but others didn't know either.

A figure suddenly reappeared from the void, followed by a flaming red sword. He was tall and majestic, with a unique temperament, like a banished immortal.

The gods suddenly became nervous, and Zhang Huan recognized at a glance that this person was undoubtedly the Immortal Emperor, and he was secretly on guard.

"Xian Zhong, I didn't expect you to distrust me so much. You would rather throw your pearl into the dark than trust me once, and you found another emperor."

Bu Si shook his head and sighed, his brows full of regret, like an old friend who was under suspicion.

"You don't have to pretend. I have done what I should do. Help me take back Kunlun someday."

The god was naked, without any emotion, and started asking questions as soon as they met.

"I'm afraid I'll have to wait... for some time. After all, I can't be discovered by the supreme beings from the outside world."

The god was dissatisfied: "Some time, how long do you mean before you go back on your word?"

"Don't worry, old friend. As the Emperor, my words are my bond and I will keep them.

You don't have to wait too long. Once I refine you, I can lend you a helping hand. With your precious body, I can easily conquer Kunlun."

The emperor smiled, thinking it was a good opportunity to take the immortal bell into his pocket to avoid future troubles and also to get an unexpected surprise.

The time has come, he no longer needs to hide, and looks with aggressive eyes at the Four Swords of Zhu Xian and the contemporary emperor with strong blood and energy, whose blood and essence will be enough for him to use for a long time.

Xianzhong felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, but unexpectedly the negotiations failed. It might be better to say that the Immortal Bell didn't even give it a chance to negotiate, as he had already set his eyes on its body. Is it so difficult for him to return home?

It wanted to take Zhang Huan away, but it had some concerns as long as it was not dead after leaving the Immortal Road. However, the imperial formation that had been constructed long ago was suddenly deployed to prevent it from doing this.

Only a black shadow slipped away at the edge, and at the last moment, he left the imperial formation and escaped from the immortal road. He was a supreme being in his twilight years, and it seemed as if he had calculated it all.

At the same time, the raging phoenix fire burned everything and rushed straight towards him. The immortal held the sky sword in one hand and held it horizontally in the other, and crossed the fairy bell in an instant.

The blade swept across, sharp and fast, carrying an all-conquering evil spirit, fiery red like a phoenix, even cutting through the laws, transcending the cognition of all living beings in the world.

No matter which supreme being stands here at this moment, he will be cut in half by the red sword in the next moment, without any suspense.

"With this sword, even the Emperor will have to kneel down!"

The immortal eyes were burning with fire, full of divine vitality, and his blood was like a flood and a beast, like a tide. Even the emperor in his prime was far inferior to him.

For an immortal, every time he successfully transforms, he will see a significant improvement in all aspects, especially in combat power and lifespan, which will be a qualitative leap.

Although the immortal longevity method still has many shortcomings, such as the strength fluctuating during the nirvana process, and the time consumed is longer and longer
But this time, for the sake of the immortal path, it is intentionally maintained at an above-average level. It will only weaken after a thousand years and then be reborn into nirvana again.

At this moment, even if his condition is not at its peak, he is still not someone that a mere emperor who has just attained enlightenment can challenge!
It will break if touched, just a clay chicken or a clay dog!

A stream of fiery red light slashed past, and in a ten-thousandth of a second, the Immortal Bell had no time to offer protection. For the first time, the four swords of Lingbao were subjected to a force that they could not resist at all, and were blasted apart together.

The imperial laws were torn apart, like layers of tofu, being cut evenly. Zhang Huan was at a most dangerous juncture!
Suddenly, there was a clanging sound, like the sound of hitting bronze, and the world became quiet in an instant.

The emperor frowned, and instantly retreated a hundred meters. He looked over in confusion, only to see Zhang Huan holding a green cloud in his hand, with no injuries on his body, and looking at him with a smile.

"You still have the Immortal Cauldron?"
