The Golden Crow Burns the Sky

Chapter 107: Ancient Retrospection, Forbidden Land Corpse

On the vast ancient battlefield, demonic clouds rolled in and evil spirits were overwhelming.

Above the sky, black fog rolled, there was a powerful murderous intent that shocked the ages, the roar of the supreme strong man was still echoing, the terrifying extreme power was still confronting and consuming each other, and made it impossible for this land to give birth to a trace of life.

And through the black fog, you can vaguely see many figures, but in fact there are only two or three people. They are all residual images left over from the ancient times, and they have not been erased even after endless years.

From this we can see that in the past, this ancient battlefield must have been the site of a supreme divine war, in which imperial figures fought to the point of causing the sky to collapse and the earth to split apart. Even the emperor's formation patterns that were spread all over this place were broken in such a duel, and their divine might was no longer there.

It’s hard to imagine what a terrifying showdown that was!

At this moment, standing here, Xuanhui and Lingbao Tianzun were also watching. With their cultivation, this little remnant of the past was enough to help them understand many things.

At this moment, in Xuanhui's eyes, he saw a holy ape with golden hair, holding a fairy iron stick, as if born for fighting.

The Holy Ape was extremely powerful, with his feet stepping on all the heavens and all the ways, and he had long been the supreme ruler in the universe. But at this moment, he still had enemies. He kept retreating in the battle, while roaring and shouting, his voice shook the ages, and even the years were shaken.

This was the Fighting Saint Emperor of the past, the last enlightened being of the ancient times. At this moment, he appeared in Xuanhui's eyes. This scene was naturally a reappearance of his past confrontation with the Immortal Emperor.

At this moment, the first and last two emperors of the ancient times were fighting on the ancient road to immortality. Both of them had surpassed the limits of the world. Naturally, a fight between them was enough to shock the immortals. The old road to immortality was shaken, and the endless time and space were shattered. From the dark, there came the sound of ghosts crying and gods weeping.

The Immortal Iron Rod was extremely terrifying in the battle, with endless fighting intent, and almost nothing could stop it; but the Five-Colored Immortal Sky Sword seemed even stronger. Holding it in the hands of the Immortal Emperor, it was like the manifestation of the will of heaven. To fight against it was like going against the entire heaven!
The battle between the two was earth-shattering, the Immortal Phoenix cried, and the Holy Ape howled, and they conquered each other in the brightest light, breaking the eternity, tearing apart the chaos, and even obliterating the Great Dao!
In the end, the Golden Armored Emperor of the Doutian Battlefield was finally defeated and was no match for the ancient gods. After several fierce clashes, he was finally unable to sustain and was injured by the Immortal Emperor and was forced to retreat.

When he retreated, his body was even covered in blood, and his golden armor was dim. He could only break out of the immortal path in the fairy world and return to the human world.

The ancient god, clothed in five-colored light, calmly retreated and disappeared under the cover of the black fog.

The five-colored heavenly sword also flew out and disappeared on the road to immortality, and has been nowhere to be found since.

There is no doubt that this is the whole story of the imperial divine war in the late ancient times. If such a scene could be manifested in the outside world, it would inevitably cause an eternal earthquake, and countless people would be alarmed by it!

While these scenes were appearing in Xuanhui's eyes, on the other side, in the eyes of Lingbao Tianzun, the same scene also appeared at this moment, all of which were the great battle between the Immortal Emperor and the Fighting Saint Emperor at the end of the ancient times.

It was also a shocking battle, a turbulent road to becoming an immortal, and ultimately, the defeat and retreat of the Ape King.

After a moment, the old scene of the battle was replayed. Xuan Hui came back to his senses and turned to look at Lingbao Tianzun beside him.

Lingbao Tianzun did not speak at this moment. He still stood there, as if he was deducing something.

Countless lights flashed across his eyes at this moment, and Xuan Hui looked carefully and discovered that it was Lingbao Tianzun who was deducing the various possibilities of a battle between himself and the Immortal Emperor, and using his divine consciousness to simulate the process of his confrontation with the Immortal Emperor!

Xuan Hui naturally would not interrupt this, and just like that, after a long time had passed, Lingbao Tianzun came out of the state of deduction and woke up.

Then, Lingbao Tianzun, who was not in the evolutionary war, expressed his feelings.

"Although the immortal old ghost is hateful, he has been able to dominate the world for millions of years, which is ultimately due to his real ability."

“If I were to fight him back then, even if I were to use the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, I still wouldn’t be able to say how confident I was of winning.”

The "original me" mentioned by Lingbao Tianzun naturally refers to himself who lived out his third life in the mythological era.

And obviously, Lingbao Tianzun at this stage may not be a match for the Immortal Emperor at the end of the ancient times!
If they were to fight against the sky, even if Lingbao Tianzun could look much better than Douzhan Shenghuang on the scene, his chances of winning were still slim. He could just retreat more calmly.

Hearing this, Xuan Hui was a little surprised.

After all, the Lingbao Tianzun of the Third Generation is no longer an ordinary person. He definitely has the combat power of the Heavenly Emperor. In terms of killing, he is probably not inferior to the Emperor at the end of the mythology.

If there is any flaw in it, it is that Lingbao Tianzun at that time had not yet fully comprehended the concepts of becoming an immortal and living forever, and was still slightly lacking in the great Dao, and had not truly embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world.

But to be honest, this matter does not have much impact on combat power.

By this calculation, the Immortal Emperor at the end of the ancient times should have existed for more than four generations, and he may even be undergoing his fifth transformation.

As for practicing for a million years, isn't it a bit slow to reach the current level?

For the Immortal Emperor, not really.

After all, his transformation time was well known to be long, which greatly prolonged his path to becoming an immortal, allowing the later Empress, Wu Shi, Ye Fan and others to catch up with him.

Moreover, before him, there was only one Emperor and one Hades. The Emperor was in seclusion and hard to compare with, but the speed of Hades' nine reincarnations was much slower than that of the Immortal Emperor himself!
In this way, it is not that the Immortal Emperor is too slow, but rather that the Three Heavenly Emperors are too fast!
Then, Xuan Hui said to Lingbao Tianzun.

"After all, the Immortal Emperor was the first person to achieve enlightenment in the ancient times. He had been practicing and transforming for nearly a million years. It is not a big deal that Daoist Fellow Daoist could not defeat him in three lifetimes."

"Moreover, the matter of cultivation is not about fighting for a moment, but about seeing who can laugh last."

After hearing these words, Lingbao Tianzun was no longer stubborn. His behavior just now was just a momentary agitation.

Therefore, he smiled slightly at Xuan Hui.

"You are right, Taoist friend. I was just distracted by the appearance, and I am grateful for your words to enlighten me. Thank you very much."

Then, he looked at the black fog in front of him again, with a slightly solemn look in his eyes.

"But this immortal old ghost had such a high level of cultivation in the past. I'm afraid he will be even more difficult to deal with now. I'm afraid we can't wait too long. Once his injuries recover completely, I'm afraid it will be a real problem."

Xuan Hui deeply agreed with this. After all, he was the only one who had actually fought with the Immortal Emperor, and he knew very well that this man was extremely difficult to deal with.

"You are right, fellow Daoist. I hope that after this trip, we can gain something from the thoughts of the gods and ourselves."

"I hope so."

After saying this, the two stopped sighing and took a step forward into the black fog.

Although this ancient battlefield is terrifying, it is ultimately just the remaining murderous intent of the former extreme masters. After experiencing the baptism of eternity, its power is no longer as strong as it used to be. It may be able to hinder the progress of a saint, but if a quasi-emperor descends, he can pass through this ancient battlefield.

Perhaps after a period of time, even the Great Sage will not be able to stop this battlefield. Soon, Xuan Hui and Ling Bao Tian Zun stepped out of this ancient battlefield and came to a scorched earth. There was a strange fire rising into the sky. There were bursts of black light in the scarlet, which had never been extinguished for thousands of years. It was the burning blood of the emperor!
However, this was not the blood of one person, but came from two different enlightened beings. This made Lingbao Tianzun frown and wondered.

"Not only did the Immortal Old Ghost fight against the Fighting Emperor, but there was also a third person?"

Although he was still doubting, Lingbao Tianzun was extremely certain that the third person who had achieved enlightenment must exist. After all, as early as when he was at the Immortal Burial Ground, he had sensed three kinds of imperial aura instead of just two. This was enough to prove that there must be a later person here.

Hearing this, Xuan Hui raised his eyes, and runes of the Great Dao flowed in his eyes. He instantly saw through all the fog that covered him. Then, he raised his hand and pointed at Lingbao Tianzun.

"Look, fellow Daoist. That's the third person who was stained with blood. From what I can see, he should be an emperor of the human race."

"The Great Emperor of the Ancient Human Race, the Great Emperor of Great Xia."

Following Xuanhui's pointing, Lingbao Tianzun's eyes also saw through the fog and looked towards the deepest part of the scorched earth. That was already the scope of the old road to immortality, a broken section of the road that fell from the void to the mortal world. However, there was no aura of the great way or picturesque fairyland on it, but it was extremely tragic, like hell!
The road to becoming an immortal was completely dead silent at this moment, without any sign of life. Looking deeper, one could see a sea of ​​scarlet and bloody things, with the broken bones and flesh of the emperor scattered everywhere. It was truly shocking!
Who could have thought that an ancient emperor who was respected by the world, a supreme being who should have been invincible in heaven and earth, would end up with such a tragic end, shattered to pieces, and even worse than a casual cultivator of Beidou!

I wonder what kind of expression the powerful men of the Great Xia Dynasty would have when they saw that their ancestor emperor ended up like this?
Such a scene made Lingbao Tianzun look a little unhappy, and he asked.

"Is this also done by the immortal old ghost?"

Immediately, without waiting for Xuan Hui to speak, Lingbao Tianzun confirmed it himself.

"Yes, who else could it be if not that old ghost?"

After Lingbao Tianzun asked and answered his own questions, Xuanhui spoke to the supreme flesh and blood scattered between heaven and earth.

"However, with this kind of death, the Immortal Emperor probably didn't have a direct confrontation with the Grand Emperor."

"This is a sneak attack that kills!"

Xuan Hui now asserted that the Emperor Tai did not die in a head-on confrontation with the Immortal Emperor, but died in a sneak attack.

But in terms of the way he died, this was probably one of the most miserable deaths of ancient emperors in history.

After all, for most of those who have achieved enlightenment, their final destination is often to sit in meditation over the years, transforming the world into a spiritual world. A few die in battle, either on the road to becoming an immortal or in a duel with an unparalleled emperor.

Even people like Huashe and Jiemie Tianzun died in the Emperor's sacrifice to the path to immortality. At least they fought a battle and were suppressed by the latter after being defeated.

Like Taihuang, he didn't even have time to see the shadow of the enemy before he exploded on the road to immortality, and no body was left. This was the first case since the creation of the world, and such a thing had never happened before!
How can a death like this be described by more than just the word "frustrating"?
I'm afraid even the Emperor himself could not have imagined that after a lifetime of success, this would be the end of his life!

Of course, what he could not have imagined was that the cause of all this was the revenge he faced after he had coveted the coffin that carried the former remains of the Immortal Emperor and dumped the latter's body in the "wilderness"!

"Is it really so?"

After hearing Xuanhui's judgment, Lingbao Tianzun carefully examined the bloody land of Taihuang. After a while, he came to the same conclusion as Xuanhui, and then felt very puzzled.

Because at the beginning, Lingbao Tianzun didn't believe that there would be an enlightened person in this world who would specifically attack another enlightened person, especially when the former was obviously stronger.

After all, in the eyes of Lingbao Tianzun, even if the Immortal Emperor came directly and attacked Taihuang head-on, the latter would probably not be able to escape death and would not have much room for resistance.

If this is the case, why resort to such despicable means as sneak attacks?
Wouldn't this be a loss of dignity for him as the Emperor?

Even though Lingbao Tianzun often called the Immortal Emperor "Old Ghost", he would never have imagined that there really were people in this world as cruel as Old Ghost who would completely disregard the dignity of being an enlightened being in order to minimize possible losses!

What about the invincible heart?

What about the Emperor’s confidence?

Why is there no trace of it?
Not only Lingbao Tianzun, but Taihuang himself obviously couldn't figure this out at the beginning. They all didn't think that there would be such an invincible strong man in the world.

But unfortunately, the Immortal Emperor is just such a person.

He is a rare powerful behind-the-scenes mastermind throughout the ages. Once his thoughts and actions are made public, they are enough to refresh the three views of most emperors in the human world.

All I can say is that the geniuses from the big fairyland are really different. They are really beyond the understanding of a group of country bumpkins from the mortal world.

After another period of silent silence, Lingbao Tianzun and Xuanhui both walked forward and came to Taihuang’s bloody place, which was also the real end of this broken road.

For a moment, Lingbao Tianzun felt a bit like a grieving rabbit dying and a fox grieving, that is, Xuanhui had already known all the truth, and because of his background and worldview, his ideas were different from many ordinary ancient emperors. His complexion looked better at this moment, but he could still feel waves of tragedy from this moment.

After a long time, Lingbao Tianzun spoke again.

"Although this place is tragic, from my point of view, the former emperor seemed to have almost reached a certain place, but because of the old ghost's sneak attack, he failed and never saw the light of day."

"Daoyou, what do you think?"

Xuan Hui pondered for a moment about this.

"Although the Grand Emperor is no match for the Immortal Emperor, he is not a weakling either. After all, he is a master of the Imperial Dragon Qi, and his offensive power is amazing."

"So, with all the effort, it does almost lead to somewhere."

"But in my opinion, that is not the fairyland. Maybe it is a strange world in the cracks."

"A strange world in the cracks?"

Lingbao Tianzun repeated Xuanhui's words, but he was still a little confused.

"Fellow Daoist, do you think that this road to immortality does not lead to the immortal realm, but points to something else?"

　There are also nights.
