The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 208 The Human Emperor's Path to Immortality: Ancient Road and Common Enemy
The Chaos Immortal Scripture unfolded on its own without wind, rustling and turning, its profound teachings resounding as if ancient gods were imparting their wisdom.

"...possessing profound and mysterious understanding, exploring the subtle and uncovering the hidden, recognizing and comprehending the true essence, achieving perfect harmony between the unseen and the manifest..."

Ning Qingyi scanned the text of the immortal scripture with his divine sense and found that it was indeed the Taiyin True Scripture, which was enshrined in a temple.

He walked step by step toward the pool of merit. As he approached, the black demonic figure in the blood altar trembled slightly, as if it was about to awaken.

This caused Jin Chanzi, Jue Youqing, and the others to change color slightly, as if facing a formidable enemy.

The divine thoughts of the Taiyin Emperor!
Having been imprisoned and studied by the Great Emperor Amitabha for so long, its release would undoubtedly bring about a catastrophe!
Ning Qingyi was also very cautious. He sat on the lotus platform, placed the immortal scripture in front of the blood sacrifice altar, and took out a Dao bell.

"The accumulated yang becomes the spirit, and there is form within the spirit. The form is born from the sun, and the sun is born from the moon. The accumulated yin forms the form, and there is spirit within the form..."

In an instant, the Dao bell rang, and the sound of chanting rang out in the divine land. Ning Qing was seen sitting cross-legged on a chaotic blue lotus, with a solemn and dignified appearance. A golden heart lamp of Dao Tribulation hung in mid-air, shining brightly!
"This is the Scripture of Salvation, a supreme scripture created by the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao specifically to deal with the thoughts of gods and evil spirits. It is said to have divine efficacy!" Jin Chanzi said.

Di Tian and the others also gathered around. Aside from the immortal scriptures and the purple-gold divine iron, the other treasures in the temple were insignificant to them. Instead, Ning Qingyi's every move attracted their attention!
"The Scripture of Salvation... Has he already guessed which emperor this deity belongs to?" Di Tian murmured.

“I can sense that there is a great power in that deity’s aura. Could it be a great emperor from the ancient times?” Fairy Qing Shi had exceptional divine sense and noticed the extraordinary nature of this deity’s aura.

Inside the Pool of Merit, Ning Qingyi's figure became increasingly ethereal, gradually entering a mysterious and unpredictable state.

"A clear mind illuminates all things. A powerful spirit conquers all senses in a single breath. With a single-minded focus, one observes all things..."

The bell for salvation rang continuously, each word striking like metal striking stone, resounding loudly and echoing throughout the sacred land, filled with an aura of utmost yang and strength, converting the thoughts of the deity opposite.

The Golden Heart Lamp of Dao Tribulation unleashed its power, sending down divine flames from the Fire Domain to burn away the dissipated Taiyin Absolute Power, producing a sizzling sound as it engaged in a fierce battle.

"Crack!"

At the same time, the duel between the Overlord and the Human King came to an end. A blood spear cleaved the purple-gold divine iron into three pieces. The two larger pieces were obtained by the two individuals, while the smaller piece was snatched away by another trial participant who quickly fled into the distance.

The Overlord and the Human King did not pursue, but instead went to the central temple to observe Ning Qingyi's actions from a distance.

"The Ancient Wilderness still hasn't broken free from its seal." Overlord glanced at the Five-Colored Divine Mountain in the distance, a chill creeping into his heart.

Compared to before, the sacred mountain has grown even taller. The great demon god, whose figure could still be vaguely seen before, is now completely invisible. Only the sounds of violent impacts can be heard continuously.

The King was not at peace either.

If Ning Qingyi's cultivation level far surpassed that of the Great Demon God, there would still be hope of catching up. However, the truth is that their cultivation levels are roughly equal, all at the Saint level, and their minor cultivation levels differ by only one or two levels.

"In this life, has the Imperial Path truly already been claimed...?"

While everyone was lost in thought, a change occurred within the blood sacrifice altar.

Boom!
A sound like a heartbeat rang out, and the demonic figure in the blood altar opened its eyes, sharp and piercing. Its Yin energy swept out like a raging ocean, shaking the sacred land and making all the heroes feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Woooooooo..."

An ominous wind howled through the heavens and earth. In the blink of an eye, the dark mist gathered and dispersed on the blood sacrifice platform, yet it sent a shiver down one's spine.

The demonic figure stood up, revealing a pale face. What should have been a majestic and imposing figure now inspired fear.

“I feel like I’ve seen this in some stone carving before…” someone exclaimed in shock. He came from an ancient star field where the immortal legend of this supreme being resided!

“Heavens! The Ancient Emperor of Taiyin…” another person groaned as he uttered these words.

Everyone was stunned, their hearts pounding with fear.

Even Emperor Tian, ​​Overlord, Human King, Fairy Qing Shi, and others could not remain calm, for this was actually the divine thought of an ancient human emperor from the Primordial Era!

"Ugh..."

A thick gray fog filled the sky, and the Taiyin Emperor let out a long howl. With a deafening roar, the sky collapsed and the earth caved in. The entire central temple was blown to pieces, and everything was left in ruins!
The crowd paled in shock, for several trainees with insufficient cultivation had their bodies shattered by this shock, a truly gruesome sight.

"In the beginning of the Azure Heaven, the song of the Azure Sky was sung, and the Great Floating Land was filled with light. The sun and moon of the heavens, the stars and constellations, the mountains and seas were covered with clouds, and the sky was free of any cloud..." Ning Qingyi solemnly and directly recited the Scripture of Salvation, his whole body flowing with Dao light, like a Dao Ancestor descending to earth!
Strands of celestial light shot out, like celestial swords slashing at the divine thoughts, ringing out as if they came from the beginning of time, piercing through eternity, dazzling and brilliant.

"boom!"

The Yin Emperor deity made his move, his eyes cold and ruthless, and one hand, carrying the Yin energy and demonic power that filled the sky, reached out to grab!

Jin Chanzi's expression changed, and he was about to lend a helping hand when he saw the Chaos Green Lotus tremble slightly, rippling out waves of immortal energy, which had the feel of great purity, great freedom, and great liberation, dissolving the overwhelming Yin energy.

"what……"

The deity roared, one of his arms trembling violently, as if it had been injured.

"Ten times of salvation, a hundred demons hidden in rhyme, separation and reunion in nature, the chaotic red script, the supreme truth without end..."

Every ancient character recited by Ning Qing manifested itself, as if cast from metal, transforming into the size of a mountain, flying towards the divine thought of the Taiyin Human Emperor, and suppressing it down.

These were repeated acts of salvation. The ancient metal characters, as large as mountains, crushed the eternal void, purging all the yin energy of the human world. The gray mist melted away like ice and snow, hissing and disappearing completely.

"Roar……"

His painful screams clearly showed he was suffering greatly and wanted to turn away.

Rumble!
In an instant, the pool water boiled, and the blood altar burst forth with divine light, echoing the Chaos Green Lotus and emitting a chorus of chanting, firmly trapping the Taiyin Human Emperor's divine will here.

This was a contingency plan left behind by the Great Emperor Amitabha, which was now being activated.

At the same time, Ning Qingyi's chanting grew louder, as if it came from ancient myths, like the booming of a great bell, deafening and resounding. Later, it was as if sweet dew fell from the sky, its fragrance filling the air.

The deity struggled in agony, and under constant suppression, strands of black blood flowed out, annihilating the void and emanating an aura of utter evil.

"boom!"

A terrifying wave swept through, the final counterattack of the divine will. The pool water evaporated, the blood altar cracked, and the Chaos Green Lotus was half destroyed.

Ning Qingyi's pupils contracted, and without hesitation, she enhanced it with the Lesser Destiny Technique. The power of the Du Ren Jing became even more immense, as if endless gods and demons were shouting together, dissolving everything.

At the same time, a supremely powerful, holy, and magnificent portal appeared above his head. As soon as it opened slightly, a power that could cleanse the ages emanated from it.

This power was terrifying. The divine will of the Taiyin Human Emperor was instantly suppressed, and his entire body overflowed with wisps of dark light, his figure becoming increasingly blurred until he was about to disappear.

"boom!"

An immense and supreme aura permeated the past, present, and future, erupting forth in an instant!

In the instant the blurry figure nearly vanished, a majestic and imposing body appeared, surveying the world with dominance, taking its place, and flowing with the power of countless ages. The entire Chaotic Divine Land, all the saints trembled, involuntarily kneeling down.

Only Ning Qingyi, with the green light emanating from the Desolate Tower within his body, resisted the divine might of the Human Emperor, allowing him to stand up.

"On the road to becoming an immortal, something unexpected happened, and I felt regretful and obsessed with it..."

A soft sigh echoed throughout the heavens and the earth, and the Yin Emperor reappeared in the mortal realm!
He stood tall and imposing, his black hair flowing over his shoulders, his eyes filled with an eternal loneliness.

All the trial participants knelt down, their hearts pounding and their emotions turbulent. They could hardly believe what they were seeing; they were actually facing the Human Emperor!
This is the first ancient emperor of the human race, who personally created the glory of the human race. The scriptures he passed down expounded the most fundamental secrets of heaven and earth and are still the most famous mother scriptures of the human race!

"Human Emperor!"

The saints all cried out in unison, one after another, their voices resounding throughout the universe, never ceasing.

The Taiyin Emperor glanced at everyone, then turned his gaze to the other side of the deep space, looking across the nine heavens and ten earths, and comprehending everything over the long eternity.

"You've put your heart into this." The Taiyin Emperor stared at Ning Qingyi, clearly aware of the changes that had occurred in the future.

"I only wished to spare the Emperor's grief, but it was too late. Ziwei has failed His Majesty." Ning Qingyi bowed deeply.

Everyone trembled upon hearing this, never expecting that there seemed to be a special karmic connection between Ning Qingyi and the Taiyin Emperor.

"There is no story of immortality in the universe; it is merely following in the footsteps of others... Fortunately, there is still a trace of continuation."

The Human Emperor sighed softly, and strands of Dao traces intertwined and wailed, causing all Dao to tremble before him!
Click!

The Five-Colored Divine Mountain collapsed, and the Great Demon God Gu Huang was freed, but he couldn't utter a single word and knelt before the Human Emperor.

"However, since you have taken care of my funeral arrangements, I have no choice but to repay you. I can grant you a great fortune. What do you ask for?"

“I have no requests.” Ning Qingyi shook his head, then, as if he had thought of something, said, “If Your Majesty wishes to go to Beidou, could Your Majesty please take these with you?”

He took out the Taiyin Divine Iron, the Chaos Immortal Scripture, and the medicinal kings and scriptures he had collected along the way, and infused them into the Great Saint Weapon, presenting them to the Human Emperor.

This scene left everyone dizzy, giving them a deeper understanding of Ning Qingyi's special nature.

The Emperor took it, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes: "Since that's the case, I'll give you these observations and experiences, hoping you'll go further on this path."

He unleashed a beam of immortal light, which flew into Ning Qingyi's altar. At the same time, he glanced at the desolate tower, as if he could see the sleeping Azure Emperor's primordial spirit within it.

"Talented people emerge in every generation; in this age, will anyone be able to become an immortal?"

The Human Emperor left behind a message, gazed at the Big Dipper constellation, and then stepped away. In an instant, the stars shifted and the constellations changed, and he disappeared from this divine land, soaring into the sky like a flying immortal!
brush!
The aura of the ancient emperors disappeared, the divine land returned to peace, and the laws of the Dao flowed normally, no longer suppressed.

People awoke, and then erupted in jubilation, for they had witnessed the manifestation of the Ancient Emperor of the Moon, a moment of profound awe for them.

Ning Qingyi, however, was immersed in the sights and sounds bestowed upon him by the Taiyin Emperor. The scenery and laws were unique and vastly different from those of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, which deeply moved him!
This is a memory of the path to immortality!

Ning Qing was thrilled. She sealed these memories away and looked around.

The Merit Pool is in ruins, and the Blood Sacrifice Altar collapsed after the Human Emperor left, leaving only a half-withered Chaos Green Lotus.

He reached out and beckoned it over for a look, a hint of surprise on his face.

Inside the blue lotus, half-rotted from the previous yin energy, it was fortunately saved by the Salvation Sutra and survived. Moreover, its origin was special, somewhat similar to the previous peach pit.

With a sudden inspiration, he inserted it into the Dao soil and continuously watered it with the power of creation.

"Ning Qingyi!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out; it was the Great Demon God.

His blood was boiling, and he was filled with extreme anger. One after another, phantom images of gods and demons appeared, as if burying an era.

Everyone looked surprised, guessing that the Great Demon God was going to fight Ning Qingyi again.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Great Demon God calmed down after his initial anger.

"I lost today, but I'll get my revenge next time we meet!"

After saying this, Gu Huang left without looking back, which made some people very unwilling.

The Great Demon God's reputation was earned through bloodshed. Many people here have blood feuds with him and previously wished Ning Qing could kill him with a single palm strike. Now it seems that although Gu Huang's Dao heart is wavering, he has not lost his mind.

"It's unexpected that he endured it."

Some passersby were surprised. Every young supreme being on the ancient road had an invincible heart. Despite such a great defeat, not only did their Dao hearts not break, but they also remained calm, which was truly unexpected!

"Wrong, the gap is too big. After today's battle, the Little Immortal Venerable has blocked everyone's path. Not only these young prodigies, but also the experts who have long been famous in the depths of the ancient road will make a move against him."

A passerby's eyes showed worry. He had heard that someone had seen the Light Clan's Divine Refining Pot fly by deep within the ancient road, awakening a very terrifying being of that clan.

Ning Qingyi watched Gu Huang's departing figure, wanting to say something, but in the end, she said nothing. She rode away on the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon to comprehend the Great Dao on this ancient star of life.

Big Dipper.

The Moon Emperor visited Mount Sumeru, and after settling his old desires, he transformed into a dazzling rain of light and vanished into the world.

At the same time, Jiang Tingting, who possessed the Taiyin constitution, sat cross-legged in the void, with the sound of chanting in her ears, and saw a handsome man.

"Who are you?"

"Perhaps he will be able to witness the path to immortality, but for me, it is more comforting to see the bloodline flowing in the bodies of future generations."

The majestic man, revered throughout history, looked at Jiang Tingting with only a kind and radiant smile on his face.

Jiang Tingting's heart trembled. As he gradually disappeared, she couldn't help but call out, "Senior, who are you? Please wait, don't go!"

The Emperor remained silent, only looking at Jiang Tingting with satisfaction.

A gentle breeze blew by, the rain of light dissipated, and the majestic figure vanished completely, shattered into nothingness.

With a clang, a great sacred artifact fell from the void, radiating a gentle divine light.

At the same time, the forbidden zone sighed, the bell of infinity tolled, and the human emperor was nowhere to be seen in the world.
