The Golden Crow Burns the Sky

Chapter 100: The Holy Body Leads the Way, and Finally Meets the Ruthless Man

The Emperor of Heaven travels, and the Big Dipper shakes!
At this moment, a supreme divine bridge emerged from the Immortal Mountain, spanning the Central Region and the Southern Region, pointing directly to the ancient forbidden land.

Its might was so great that the entire Eastern Wilderness could see it. For a time, the leaders of countless noble families and holy places were shocked by it. The powerful men of the Big Dipper came out in droves and flocked to the ancient forbidden land in the Southern Region to pay homage to the Emperor of Heaven.

"God!"

"Meet the Emperor of Heaven!"

"May the Emperor of Heaven bless you!"

"Long live your majesty!"

For a time, in the vast land of East Wilderness, the cries of all living beings were endless. At this moment, many people prayed and kowtowed to Xuanhui to express their inner hopes.

However, this time, Xuan Hui was not born to travel around the world, so he would not stop here.

In a flash, he appeared at the outskirts of the ancient forbidden land, walked down the divine bridge, and stopped to look at the nine sacred mountains in the center of the restricted area.

After seeing this scene, the discussions among the crowd behind Xuan Hui became louder.

"Is the Emperor of Heaven coming to the Southern Region to pacify this last restricted area?"

"In my opinion, perhaps not."

"If the Emperor of Heaven wanted to take action against the ancient forbidden land, he could have done so in the past when he suppressed the Immortal Mountain. Why did he have to wait until today?"

"In my opinion, the Emperor of Heaven will not start a war today."

"You old man seem to be so confident, but can you guess what the Emperor of Heaven is thinking?"

"Young man, you are still a little short-sighted!"

"Maybe they are here for the holy medicine on the holy mountain!"

"What a joke! What kind of holy medicine can compare to the immortal medicine that the Heavenly Emperor carries with him? The Heavenly Emperor owns the Peach Tree and the Ancient Tea Tree for Enlightenment, so how can anything be pleasing to him?"

"..."

Listening to these discussions and quarrels, Xuan Hui, who was standing alone on the outskirts of the ancient forbidden land, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, finding it a little funny.

Moreover, these people are really good at guessing, and a few of them are actually close to the truth.

However, since they were arguing over a few inferences, Xuan Hui couldn't help but laugh and sigh in his heart.

Especially the few young people in the crowd, who sounded like their fanatical admirers of his. They would refute everything others said, which was quite interesting.

Shaking his head, Xuan Hui no longer paid attention to the crowd behind him, but continued to stare at the nine holy mountains in front of him, and spoke the next moment.

"Xuan Hui is here today to meet the master of the ancient forbidden land and discuss the way of immortality and reincarnation. I hope fellow Taoists in the forbidden area can spare some time to meet with him!"

The rumbling sound of heaven reverberated in the sky above the ancient forbidden land, but the people behind Xuanhui could not understand the true meaning of it. Only a woman in white and a man covered in red hair in the abyss under the nine sacred mountains could hear Xuanhui's words clearly.

At the same time, Xuan Hui also specifically mentioned the two key words, immortality and reincarnation, in his words. Otherwise, given the temperament of the ruthless emperor, she might not really care much about Xuan Hui's visit.

Now in the heart of this empress, perhaps only her dead brother is important, and at most Ye Fan who is a "similar flower".

As for other things, she has already abdicated from the throne and just sat there in the ancient forbidden land. Even if a dark turmoil broke out, it might not alarm the empress to take action.

Sure enough, just as Xuan Hui expected, marking keywords is absolutely a must when visiting the ruthless emperor.

Before his voice fell, the nine holy mountains in the restricted area began to vibrate, and strange colors rose up.

Afterwards, a burly man walked out from the abyss under the holy mountain. He had red hair dancing all over his body, looking a little scary. Faintly, one could see golden blood surging.

This is actually the first generation Lord of the Wilderness, with a highly accomplished holy body!
Seeing this scene, even Xuan Hui couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Although he could guess that as long as the word reincarnation was mentioned, the ruthless emperor would definitely respond to him, and might even use the slaves to lead the way for him, but he never thought that once the matter of reincarnation was involved, the empress would take it so seriously that even the second-in-command of the ancient forbidden land would be sent out!
In just a moment, the Great Holy Body crossed the vast forbidden area and came in front of Xuanhui. However, before starting to talk, the Holy Body first solemnly bowed to Xuanhui, and then spoke.

"Greetings to the Heavenly Emperor. The Great Emperor invites the Heavenly Emperor in for a chat."

Seeing this, Xuan Hui was slightly stunned, and was about to return the gift, but he didn't expect that the Dacheng Saint Body turned away and did not accept it.

Xuan Hui's mind turned, and soon he roughly understood what the Great Saint Body was thinking. After shaking his head in his heart, he opened his mouth to respond.

"You don't have to do this, my friend. You and I are both supreme beings, and I have no favor towards you. How can I deserve such a great gift?"

"Fellow Daoist became enlightened in the ancient times and also protected common people. So, you can be considered as my predecessor."

Xuan Hui said this, indicating that there was really no need for such courtesy to the Great Saint Body.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the Great Saint Body's face turned serious and responded seriously.

"How dare you call me a senior? The one who has achieved the highest level of cultivation is the first. Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor has made great contributions to all living beings. He was able to fight against the Supreme Being and conquer the Immortal Mountain. This really makes us admire him."

"I am offering this gift to the Heavenly Emperor on behalf of all living beings. The Heavenly Emperor does not need to refuse."

As he spoke, the Great Saint Body's expression became more solemn and resolute, which made it difficult for Xuan Hui to say anything more.

After thinking about it, Xuan Hui spoke.

"Well, if that's the case, then we can just call each other fellow Taoists."

"This time, I'll have to trouble fellow Taoist Saint to lead the way."

Xuan Hui said this, and this time, the Great Saint Body did not refuse again.

"Then I'd rather obey your command, fellow Taoist, please!"

"please!"

There are indeed some reasons why Xuanhui has such a good attitude towards the Great Holy Body.

Firstly, it can be said that it is because the sedan chair is carried by people.

Just as Xuan Hui said, he had no gratitude or cause and effect towards the Great Saint Body, but the other person's attitude when he came up was very respectful, which was giving face to Xuan Hui. Did Xuan Hui have to give a cold shoulder to a Great Saint Body for no reason?

This is naturally impossible.

The second reason is that the deeds of the Holy Body lineage are truly worthy of respect, and the same is true for the Great Holy Body in front of us.

Although the Holy Body lineage has always been known as the Holy Body of the human race, one thing that must be understood is that in the turbulent years of the ancient times, the nine Holy Bodies of their line were born one after another, not only protecting the human race, but also protecting all living beings and spirits in the entire universe.

Whether it was the Jinwu Clan or the Huosang Star, they were all part of this kindness and karma. For this reason alone, these former sky watchers were absolutely worthy of the respect of any enlightened person in the future, and Xuanhui was no exception.

Therefore, Xuan Hui was willing to give more respect to the Great Saint Body. Even though his cultivation and combat power were far inferior to his own, he still regarded him as a fellow Taoist and treated him equally.

Afterwards, the two of them moved together, transformed into two rainbow lights, and disappeared into the abyss under the nine sacred mountains deep in the forbidden area.

Along the way, Xuan Hui saw many scenes unique to the ancient forbidden land. The entire forbidden area was desolate and lifeless, but it was different on the nine holy mountains. There were lush greenery and nine holy trees swaying in the wind. Those were the Nine Wonderful Immortal Elixirs that were separated by the ruthless emperor with his great magic power.

In the distant sky, a scene of a heavenly palace could be vaguely seen emerging. Xuan Hui knew that it was the remains of the ancient heaven in mythology that remained in Beidou. Xuan Hui was also somewhat interested in this, but was not in a hurry to explore it.

In addition, there are two things that attracted Xuan Hui's attention——

One is a group of barbaric slaves;

The other is the devouring power that is everywhere in the ancient forbidden land.

The slaves of the wilderness are definitely one of the most famous special products of the ancient forbidden land. They are all strong men who broke into the forbidden area in the past and wanted to fight for a new life. Before they died, they were taken in by the empress and became a member of the ancient forbidden land. From then on, they gained an alternative kind of immortality.

This kind of immortality can be said to be a by-product of the empress's transformation on the road to immortality. Therefore, Huang Nu's state is very peculiar, between life and death. He is the same person as before, but can also be regarded as a completely new individual who has erased all his past.

Even though he can be considered to have lost his mind, Huang Nu can still retain his past instincts, and his strength level has only changed. This makes people sigh at the heaven-defying power of the ruthless emperor, whose methods are already at the level of an immortal.

At least if Xuanhui were to do it, it would be difficult for him to achieve the level of the empress.

In addition to the wild slaves, the devouring power is another major feature of the ancient forbidden land.

This kind of power is present in almost every part of the ancient forbidden land. It is truly omnipresent. It can drain a person's vitality, make a beautiful woman grow old in the blink of an eye, and turn black hair into white snow.

At this moment, Xuan Hui was crossing the restricted area while experiencing the special power in the ancient forbidden land. This power could devour life essence and deprive others of their years. It was very extraordinary. For the world, it was one of the most terrifying dangers in the ancient forbidden land.

In fact, this devouring power is the source of the ancient forbidden land’s notoriety!
"Is it related to the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art?"

Feeling this extremely terrifying aura, Xuan Hui pondered secretly in his heart.

"However, it seems that it is not only consuming life and energy, but also has the taste of time. Perhaps it is related to the current path of the empress."

Soon, Xuan Hui realized some new characteristics, this time it was related to time. However, compared to the devouring power, the power of the passage of time was more like an embellishment, and the devouring power was the real main body.

Xuan Hui himself would not be affected by this devouring power and the power of the passage of time, but according to his estimation, even a quasi-emperor of the ninth heaven might not be able to hold on for too long in the ancient forbidden land.

The two powers reinforce each other, and it is almost impossible for those below the level of the Enlightenment to contend with them! Especially the devouring power is almost aimed at the origin of all things, which is even more terrifying!
For this reason, in Xuan Hui's opinion, this terrifying devouring power can only come from the supreme martial arts created by the Henren Emperor in his first life, the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art.

At this moment, even Xuan Hui was a little curious. If the empress now used all her strength to display the supreme method from her first life, how far could she achieve? Could it have any impact on an existence like himself?

If it can swallow even strong men of the same level as himself and Emperor Wu Shi, then this Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art must be truly terrifying. If it is pushed to the limit, it might create an extremely powerful monster!
After all, the origin of the strong often has an extremely profound individual imprint. Even the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art cannot completely erase this mark. Just like Mr. Ming and Mr. Xiaoyao, after long years of research, they still cannot perfect the secret art of "reincarnation". There are hidden dangers after all.

Therefore, excessive devouring will inevitably lead to confusion and loss of control for the devourer himself, and eventually he will be completely transformed into a monster in the chaos!

Presumably, the empress had already noticed this point. Therefore, in her second life, she broke free from the evil power, transformed her foundation with the Immortal Heavenly Power, and eliminated most of the hidden dangers of the evil power.

I just don't know where this devouring power in the ancient forbidden land comes from, and whether it is related to the transformation of the empress in a previous life.

As he was thinking and moving forward, Xuan Hui soon arrived at the bottom of the abyss of the Holy Mountain with the Great Holy Body.

After arriving here, the Great Saint Body stopped, and Xuan Hui also stopped. Then, the latter looked up and saw a huge stone door.

At this moment, the stone door was closed, but in Xuanhui's perception, it seemed that there was a vast fairyland behind the stone door.

Boom——

As the two came to the stone gate, after a loud bang, the magnificent stone gate slowly opened. Behind the stone gate, there was indeed a real world!

This world was filled with fairy mist, and thousands of laws were extremely active. Xuan Hui stared at this world intently and could see through to the end of the world at a glance.

But at the end of the world, a new world has appeared, like a real fairyland, exuding a power called longevity, seemingly illusory and yet real.

In this interweaving of illusion and reality, that fairyland becomes untouchable for people forever. Only a strong man of Xuanhui's level can feel it carefully and see that all this is the Dharma form evolved by supreme magic power.

This means that if the empress can go one step further and become an immortal from the mortal world, then under the influence of her power, everything here will be real and eternal!
As for such supreme visions, Dacheng Saint Body was naturally no longer surprised. He led the way in front, guiding Xuanhui to go deeper.

Along the way, the two did not continue talking, but just walked slowly. Finally, Xuanhui and Dacheng Shengti came to an ancient bronze temple.

This ancient palace looks very majestic, and is dotted with orchids and jade trees all around, so beautiful that it is intoxicating. There are also faint immortal runes flowing in it, which means that Xuanhui himself has reached a high enough realm to capture the fluctuations of immortal power in it.

This made Xuan Hui raise his eyebrows, he knew what this thing was - this was another treasure in this universe that was suspected to have been a fairy weapon, the Bronze Fairy Palace!
This immortal palace was indeed once controlled by the Henren Emperor and was her dojo. However, Xuan Hui originally thought that this immortal palace should no longer be in the hands of the empress. Unexpectedly, he saw it in the ancient forbidden land.

"It seems that this fairy palace has actually been in the hands of a ruthless person. Perhaps because of Ye Fan, she will release it to the outside world?"

"Sure enough, once it comes to her brother, the ruthless emperor is really capable of doing anything..."

Xuan Hui felt a surge of emotion in his heart, but then he seemed to remember something and became thoughtful.

"wrong."

"Before this, the Bronze Immortal Palace had also appeared in the East Desert. So, why did it appear then?"

"Perhaps it has something to do with the state of the ruthless man's transformation?"

Soon, Xuan Hui thought of the empress's special transformation path. On the road to becoming an immortal from the mortal world, the ruthless emperor should be the most unstable one among all the future immortals in the mortal world, sometimes lucid and sometimes confused.

It can even be said that for most of the years, the ruthless emperor was in a state of confusion and could not even communicate with others.

When Xuan Hui came here, he first felt the empress's gaze toward the outside world, and confirmed that she was in a rare sober state before deciding to visit her.

"Perhaps it's because of the transformation. The ruthless way is still too unique, even unconventional, which has also brought many side effects. It can only be said that there are gains and losses."

Xuan Hui thought so, and followed the Great Saint Body through several palaces. Finally, after a while, they arrived at a main hall.

Here, Xuan Hui saw several figures standing. The aura around these people was very extraordinary, and the weakest one was close to the quasi-emperor realm. Obviously, these were all slaves of the wilderness. However, they should be the strongest among the ancient forbidden land, and therefore they were able to serve the empress.

In the center of the hall, there was a figure in white clothes and black hair. It was a woman with an extraordinary temperament. She was sitting cross-legged on a cushion. She was so beautiful that it was breathtaking, like a fairy descending to the earth.

Xuan Hui even had an illusion for a moment, as if she was standing in the fairyland!

With such unparalleled beauty and grace, there is no doubt that this is the most perfect person of the opposite sex Xuan Hui has ever seen. Both her appearance and temperament are the best in all eternity!

She is the ruthless emperor!
　I have rebelled. The Immortal Emperor is not the most beautiful woman in the world, but the Ruthless Emperor is. I love the Empress!
