The Lord of Heaven asked

Chapter 421 Meeting the Butcher
Ye Xiu was not very interested in the glorious history of the Jinwu clan. On the contrary, what attracted him most was the whereabouts of several descendants of the Heavenly Emperor as told by Old Jinwu.

"Are the descendants of the Emperor of Heaven in the northern border of the Immortal Realm?" Ye Xiu asked.

The fairyland is vast, it is really too vast. I don’t know how many large realms like the primitive ancient realms it is composed of. Even if the fairy king giant wants to explore the whole picture, it is not an easy task.

Moreover, in the depths of the fairyland, there are supreme masters hidden. They are old monsters who have been sleeping since who knows when. Even the king does not dare to easily explore the depths of the fairyland.

This is especially true of the Northern Frontier mentioned by King Jinwu. According to old rumors, the Heavenly Palace established in the era of the Emperor's fall is located deep in the Northern Frontier, and there is great terror there.

When the Heavenly Court was purged, the entire northern border was turned into a barren land. Countless lives were lost and countless star fields were shattered.

Even though thousands of years have passed, the Northern Frontier is still a barren land, and many creatures in the Immortal Realm are unwilling to go there, including the king.

Because not only are the laws there incomplete, there may also be old monsters that survived from the era of the emperor's fall, as well as the existence of the heaven that was destroyed back then.

The kings of the Immortal Realm do not think that they can compare with the Heavenly Emperors who created the cultivation methods of the Immortal Realm. If they go to the northern border and encounter the existence of the destroyed Heaven, even they will not be able to escape death.

“Yes, although the cause and effect are terrible, there is still a glimmer of hope. In order to avoid reckoning and hunting, they entered the depths of the fairyland. There should be some survivors who survived.

After so many years, it seems that an invincible creature has appeared in one lineage again!"

The Golden Crow Immortal King spoke.

"Butcher!" Ye Xiu said.

Ye Xiu knew that the butcher was a descendant of the Heavenly Emperor, but he didn't know which lineage he was from. This person who could enter the supreme realm in the original work was indeed terrifying.

“Yes, if you want to find the descendants of the Heavenly Emperor, it may be more difficult than you think.” The Golden Crow Immortal King continued.

"It doesn't matter. At least I know the approximate direction. It's much better than me looking for it blindly!" Ye Xiu said.

Ye Xiu’s visit to the Jinwu clan was not too long, and he left after only ten days.

Moreover, Old Golden Crow gave Ye Xiu a broken seal. Although only a corner of it remained, it was once the seal of Heaven, forged by three Heavenly Emperors. It carried the faith of all races and also had a trace of the Heavenly Emperor's blood and essence.

Ye Xiu took out the Nine-Colored True Blood that the Immortal King Dan Tai had given him. Unexpectedly, the Nine-Colored True Blood actually sank directly into the incomplete ancient seal, causing the ancient seal to glow faintly.

Ye Xiu was overjoyed when he saw this. With this seal, it would be much easier for him to find the descendants of the Emperor of Heaven after entering the Northern Frontier.

"Has King Yuanshi left the fairyland?"

"He did not return to the primitive ancient world, but went all the way to the northern border. I wonder what he is doing in the fairyland. Is he traveling for free?"

In the fairyland, an Immortal King saw Ye Xiu leave the ancestral land of the Golden Crow clan and then head northward, out of reach of their perception, and even showed signs of leaving the fairyland.

The Immortal Kings were very confused about Ye Xiu's purpose of entering the Immortal Realm.

King Pan, Immortal King Hunyuan and others felt a little regretful when they saw Ye Xiu went directly into the depths of the Immortal Realm. Did they want to discuss Taoism with Ye Xiu?

Ye Xiu didn’t know what Pan Wang and the others were thinking. At this moment, he was crossing the territories ruled by many Immortal Kings and the vast uninhabited areas, heading towards the depths of the Immortal Realm.

For ten thousand years, relying on a corner of the ancient seal in his hand, Ye Xiu went north all the way. Sometimes he even went back for a while, but in the end he went north again.

Some living creatures cut off all traces, isolating others from detecting and deducing, and even disturbing the secrets and order of heaven. Even the ancient seal of heaven in Ye Xiu's hand could not give him the correct location.
However, this made Ye Xiu more certain that his direction was correct.

As time went by, the wild and uninhabited areas where the original dense forests once existed were slowly disappearing, and the spiritual energy was becoming increasingly thin. It was completely different from the fairyland with its vibrant light of civilization. Ye Xiu was getting closer and closer to the land of destruction.

It was also at this time that the ancient seal in his hand emitted a faint light, which made Ye Xiu know that he was not far from becoming the descendant of the Heavenly Emperor.

Continuing across several star fields, what came into view was a vast and devastated world. The infinite land was dead silent, the Tongtian Mountains were torn apart, and the vast expanse was bare without any vegetation. Abysses covered the infinite land. Occasionally, a hurricane would stir up a storm and roll up a sky full of yellow sand. Looking around, there were Gobi deserts for billions of miles, and even the sky was gray.

The dead ancient stars are arranged in groups on the earth, and some have broken and collapsed to form plateaus and ancient mountains.

In the dried-up river, the corpses of ancient beasts are spread across the riverbed on both sides like mountains. These immortal corpses have begun to turn into dust under the erosion of endless years. What's more, there are too many creatures that cannot step into the realm of immortality. Some broken ancient artifacts have already rusted on their exposed parts.

“Perhaps this was once a supreme world that was no worse than the original ancient world, but unfortunately it could not escape the erosion of darkness and became a ruined place with no living creatures.”

Ye Xiu sighed and said that this was a supreme world in the fairyland, but now it has been destroyed.

The extremely long years always buried too many glories. Even in an extremely powerful supreme world like the Fairyland, there are unknown past events.

In the era of several Heavenly Emperors after the Emperor's Fall, the Fairyland was extremely glorious, with countless powerful people, and there was a vague trend of becoming the number one in the heavens.

However, in that reckoning, too much glory was destroyed, and no one knew how many great worlds were shattered.

"I hope this trip wasn't in vain!"

Ye Xiu sighed.

Another ten thousand years passed, and Ye Xiu almost crossed the entire vast land of destruction, passed through the ancient domain where many world barriers were broken, and felt the ripples in a corner of the ancient seal begin to become clear. He knew that he might be getting close to the source of the ripples emitted by the ancient seal.

Moreover, he felt a hint of civilization in this ruined world, which meant that there must be civilization in this ruined land.

As Ye Xiu continued to move forward, the true pattern of a large formation appeared in front of him.

"Has there been any living being set up here to block the secrets of heaven?"

Coming to an ancient formation, Ye Xiu said secretly.

This formation has no murderous intent, it is set up only to conceal the secrets of heaven.

However, when Ye Xiu crossed the large formation, he discovered that there was not only one large formation here, but there were formations within formations, and there were other ancient formations set up. This was the first line of defense.

The creatures who set up these formations are definitely the most powerful ones in the world, not much weaker than him.

Suddenly, when Ye Xiu was about to step into another ancient domain, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.

The soul directly issued a strong warning, and the shocking murderous intent made his heart move. This was a fluctuation emitted by a creature that was no weaker than him.

The next moment, in this devastated land where no laws existed, all kinds of resonance began to rise, and even the long river of time appeared above the domain like a sea of ​​sky, looming in the air.

"Whoosh!"

A terrifying ray of light from the sky has shot towards Ye Xiu from other ancient domains, piercing through the world's barriers. The dim sky has been torn apart, revealing endless darkness, yet billions of miles of light penetrate it without a trace of impurities.

It was an extremely terrifying feather arrow, covered with extremely rich Immortal King laws, and could kill the Immortal King.

However, Ye Xiu is no longer the same person he was before. He did not use the Yuanshi Ding, Pangu Banner and Chaos Bell. He just opened his mouth and spit out a stream of sword energy, slashing towards the feather arrow.

"Rumble..."

The sword energy and the feather arrow collided with each other, as if the heaven and earth were collapsing. The universe where he was located continued to collapse, and countless stars fell down.

Countless cracks appeared in the void, constantly swallowing up all tangible objects.

"brush!"

In an instant, another ray of light shone from the long river of time, and this time, Ye Xiu could see it clearly.

It was an arrow feather, as if it was traveling through ancient history. On the tip of the arrow, there was a shocking cold light, and the murderous intent froze time and everything. The most terrifying thing was that it carried a strange and immortal fairy light.

Ye Xiu's body emitted a fairy light, and a phantom of the world emerged in front of him. Countless great rules of the Dao appeared. This was a great breakthrough he made in the secret realm of the Wheel Sea, using the Wheel Sea to evolve a vast world.

boom!
The arrow shot at the phantom of the world in front of Ye Xiu, just like an electric drill encountering the hardest diamond in the world, constantly melting away without causing a ripple.

"what!"

The creature who had attacked secretly let out a light exclamation, with a tone of disbelief in it. He did not expect that his attack could be resolved so easily.

As one of the most powerful people in the heavens and even in the sea of ​​​​realms, the butcher was in a very heavy mood at the moment. After the brief fight before, he already understood that the person who came was an almighty giant who was definitely not weaker than him, and was even stronger than him to some extent.

Naturally, he was not afraid of such an existence, but it was different for the child in the formation behind him. He knew very well that with Ye Xiu's strength, he could definitely break the formation here.

After a few breaths, a huge sun rose from the infinite earth into the sky, illuminating the dark world.

The butcher's shocking appearance appeared, like an incomparable supreme emperor, appearing from the long river of time, rushing towards Ye Xiu with an aura that could destroy all worlds.

The endless pressure made the creatures in dozens of nearby starry universes panic-stricken, and they kept kneeling on the ground to pray for blessings.

"Finally showed up!"

Seeing this, Ye Xiu was delighted, and then his body suddenly swelled by millions of feet, like a chaotic demon god who created the world, with chaotic energy lingering around his body, overwhelming the heaven and earth.

"Break!" Ye Xiu swung his fist and met the rushing creature.

If the phantom of the world just now was a manifestation of his body refining supernatural power of being as unmovable as a mountain, then what he was displaying at this moment was the supreme supernatural power of proving the truth with force, breaking all the paths with one force.

"boom……"

Two figures with blazing light collided with each other, and the whole world fell into silence in time and space. The world melted into chaos, and the exploding energy vibrated in the long river of time. The barriers of the world had completely collapsed and were directly broken. The two ancient domains that were connected together could even make rumbling sounds on the earth.

"kill!"

Ye Xiu attacked vigorously, and with the help of the world's mighty power, his World-Destroying Fist seemed to really destroy the world.

"boom!"

The chaos in the sky exploded in an instant, and countless abysses spanned the universe directly. The sky river formed by the fragments of time was directly reflected above the two figures. The shocking battle made the long river of time manifest in the present time and space. The two peerless masters fought to the top in this broken world.

"Yeah!"

Ye Xiu's body shook, and all the supreme magical powers displayed by the butcher were shattered.

In addition, Ye Xiu chopped out with one palm, directly knocking the butcher back, which surprised him greatly.

"Top physical practitioner!"

The butcher was shocked in his heart. The continuous collisions made him realize that the Immortal King in front of him had reached an incredible level in body refining. He could even be called the strongest body refiner among all the strong people he knew.

Even he would not easily become an enemy of such an opponent. His body was unparalleled and harder than fairy gold. No magical powers or spells could cause effective damage to him.

Unless one's own realm is much higher than the opponent and can suppress him forcefully, or one has reached the peak of physical training and is able to fight him in a bloody battle.

However, he himself did not meet these two conditions. Ye Xiu's strength was comparable to his, or even stronger than his. All his actions could not cause effective damage to Ye Xiu.

On the contrary, if he were to get hit by Ye Xiu, it would not be pleasant either.

If Ye Xiu had not been the Emperor Light Immortal King and had an extremely powerful body, he would have been suppressed by that palm strike just now.

However, when he thought of the living creatures in the formation behind him, the butcher had to grit his teeth and fight.

Swish!
The immortal light was shocking, and the entire universe was torn apart by the butcher's casual blow. All the laws were split apart, and the terrifying blow was directed at Ye Xiu again. It seemed easy to destroy the universe so easily.

"Well done!"

The phantom of the world in front of Ye Xiu began to glow with light, like a gorgeous whirlpool. The endless power of the world gathered together, and the same blow that suppressed the universe came forward to meet it.

"boom……"

Although the universe that was split by the other party was formed again, it collapsed from the center again.

At the same time, Ye Xiu also threw a punch with extraordinary domineering power.

"boom!"

The butcher was blown back. It was obvious that the power of Ye Xiu's attack was not something that everyone could withstand head-on. Even someone as powerful as him couldn't withstand it.

However, the Butcher is, after all, a forbidden giant in the Sea of ​​Boundary. Although Ye Xiu’s attack was powerful, it was not enough to kill him.

Therefore, after recovering, he continued to clash with Ye Xiu, engaging in a fierce battle that shook the world.

After a fierce battle for half a day, a figure wrapped in endless chaos emerged from below the chaotic sky.

The other party was carrying an ancient bow on his back, and his body was emitting a strange and horrifying fairy light. It was this creature who had just made the move.

In the universe, two peerless masters who were capable of looking down upon the king realm were facing each other. Above their stunning Dharma images, blazing immortal light surrounded them, and the runes of the great way were dazzling. The light of their souls was like the blazing sun, illuminating the heaven and earth, making the originally devastated and dark world as bright as day.

However, after a few breaths, neither of them had the idea of ​​attacking again. The shocking Dharma image faded away, and the universe slowly dimmed. The two of them just stared at each other from a distance.

"Shouldn't he be in the Sea of ​​Boundary at this time? Why did he suddenly come here? Has he been lurking in this ruined world?"

Ye Xiu guessed in his heart that the other party seemed to be protecting something. The great formation that concealed the secrets of heaven was a good proof of this. He had crossed countless destroyed worlds to get here and touched the great formation, which was mistaken for an enemy attack, so the other party took action.

Although it is rumored that the butcher fled the fairyland and entered other realms in order to avoid being hunted by darkness, this should only be one of the reasons.

When the emperor fell, because the Emperor Huang Tian of later generations had stepped into the place connecting ancient and modern times to go to that era, there was no room for two people in one lifetime. The butcher also escaped into other realms in order to avoid Emperor Huang Tian.

In that era, there were more than just supreme realms like the Fairyland, but they have all become part of ancient history. Just look at the ruined world before your eyes and you will know that even ancient artifacts and immortal corpses are turning to dust.

At this moment, the butcher also felt Ye Xiu's power.

The person in front of him was a rare strong man in the world. Even though he had been traveling in the sea of ​​​​boundaries for several epochs, he had not met many such people.

His physical body is unparalleled, and no magical powers or laws can affect him. His offensive power is shocking throughout history. He has not encountered many creatures in the sea of ​​​​boundaries who can compare with Ye Xiu in terms of offensive power.

Moreover, when Ye Xiu made his move, the power of his law had a true pattern that he was very familiar with, that was the true pattern of the world-destroying calamity law. As a descendant of the Emperor of Heaven, how could he not know about the peerless heavenly skills of another lineage.

Even his own power of law was fused with the true pattern of the world-destroying calamity law, but he also used different laws to create it. He was a man of extraordinary talent.

Densely packed avenue runes suddenly appeared in the void, constantly repairing the realm that had been shattered by the battle between the two men just now.

"How on earth did you find this place?"

Suddenly, the butcher spoke first, and his cold breath filled the world with murderous intent, as if facing a formidable enemy. For countless years, no one had ever been able to find this place, and Ye Xiu's unknown identity made him extremely wary.

"I am Yuanshi, and I have received the grace of the Immortal King Dantai to teach me. I want to fulfill his last wish. Previously, the Immortal King of the Golden Crow Clan gave me the One-horn Emperor Seal, and I came here to follow its guidance."

After Ye Xiu opened his mouth, he raised his hand and flicked a broken ancient seal as big as an egg flew directly towards the butcher.

As soon as he finished speaking, the butcher was also stunned.

"Dan Tai Immortal King!"

He knew the Immortal King Tan Tai very well, as he was his uncle. However, he had died in the Era of the Fall of the Emperor. He did not expect that there was still a trace of the Immortal King Tan Tai left in this world.

The next moment, the butcher subconsciously caught the broken corner of the ancient seal.

"It is indeed the broken seal of heaven!"

The butcher spoke, and then looked at the ancient seal floating in the void with a complicated expression.

I don’t know how long it took, but after the butcher spoke, he looked at Ye Xiu again. He had to be cautious.

Although Ye Xiu is not a dark creature, he may have ideas about the descendants of the Emperor of Heaven.

Although several Heavenly Emperors have passed away, their Shenzanghe Tiangong and various magical powers have been passed down.

Over the endless years, many people have come here, wanting to seize the sacred treasures left behind by the Heavenly Emperors.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm sure you didn't set up the formation in this ancient world for your own safety. I wonder if the several Heavenly Emperors still have relatives alive!" Ye Xiu said.

The other party's talent is beyond heaven. Perhaps it can be said the other way around, there is no creature who can finally ascend to the highest level of the heavens without being beyond heaven's reach.

Like the butcher, although he failed, he survived. If it was just him, there would be no need to do this. If he wanted to leave, unless the emperor took action, it would be difficult for the creatures in the king realm to stop him.

"It seems that you do know a lot, but the power of darkness is too terrifying. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to protect them with your strength."

The butcher spoke up. He was indeed worried, and although Ye Xiu’s strength was not bad, even he couldn’t say that he could completely protect other people, let alone Ye Xiu.

It was as if it was some kind of curse involving supreme cause and effect, permeating the eternal space and time, emerging from time and the Tao, and severing the bloodlines of several Heavenly Emperors from ancient times to the present and future. People did not know why these people would die. Some were slain, some died because of others, and some even fell into the darkness.

"Of course, I also know that under the Emperor's curse, we cannot protect them forever with our strength, but this is not a solution after all!"

"The best way is to grow up thoroughly like you, fellow Daoist. As long as you become an Immortal King, even the Emperor's curse will not erupt so easily!"

Ye Xiu also knew that this supreme magical power of cursing from the source of blood was indeed puzzling.

But it is not really unavoidable. With the butcher in front of him and the daughter of the Golden Crow Emperor, the two of them perfectly avoided the curse. Although the price they paid was too shocking, they succeeded in the end.

"What do you plan to do, fellow Daoist?" the butcher asked. He had thought of many ways to deal with the curse in the bloodlines of the descendants of several Heavenly Emperors, but he still couldn't solve it.

In the end, his subordinates had to use the supreme magic circle to conceal the secret and let his descendants grow up to be as powerful as him, and even the curse could not do anything to him.
