The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 65: The Blood of the Heavenly Demon God Makes Waves, and the Stone Coffin is Located in the Styx and Underworld

Shenxu, ancient and mysterious, is suspected to have existed since the mythological era.

A part of the former heaven fell into it, becoming an unsolvable mystery. Now, due to an accident, it has attracted the attention of all parties in the starry sky.

The Jinwu clan of Huosang Star showed up, looking up at the sun to chase the Holy Emperor's palace, and looking down at the Divine Ruins to find the ruins of Heaven. All the visitors from outside the domain had shining eyes. The Big Dipper Star Region really lived up to its reputation, and there were too many things related to the strong.

"Taiyi, look at those people." Suddenly, the dragon girl spoke, pulling Wang Hongwu's gaze back. He saw a pure white temple falling from the sky. From the foundation to the bricks and tiles, it was made of Nine Heavens White Jade. In the center was a halo made of Silver Moon Divine Jade. It carried a magnificent aura like a holy weapon handed down from generation to generation, suppressing the sky.

Many creatures were startled and looked up, only to find that there were mysterious and ethereal figures inside, all sitting on thrones, overlooking the ground below.

The gods from the Tongtian Star Region appeared, with white hair draped over their shoulders and golden divine rings surrounding them. A divine light shone upon them. A saint walked out first, gazing into the distance at the South Heaven Gate in the Divine Ruins.

"Is this the legendary god?" "Coming from the Tongtian Ancient Star Region, these gods should be said to be powerful people."

Looking at the grand scale, all creatures could not help but whisper to each other, some of them were surprised and confused. After all, this title was too big. Apart from the immortal god who created the era, only the one in Shencan Ridge could be called the Divine Emperor.

Normally, anyone who dared to use this word would be tortured in Beidou.

"I am a member of the God Clan!" The Tongtian Star Saint smiled faintly. When he talked about his race, there was an amazing brilliance that flashed across his face. It was pride and arrogance.

The real gods are immortal and are forbidden beings in legends, but the gods can never be seen. Later, the meaning of this title gradually changed, and it was often used to refer to some heaven-defying beings. The so-called gods are such a group.

The gods in the Tongtian Star Region have powerful bloodlines and have developed a physique that is difficult for ordinary people to imagine. However, many people think that they have become independent from the human race, and in the universe, "some of their existences" are called divine bodies.

Huosang and Tongtian, the two major star regions, were once under the jurisdiction of the ancient Heavenly Court. They were their people, and even had old subordinates left in them. Therefore, they have always been very concerned about Beidou. They knew that many relics of the Heavenly Court crashed here, and they have never stopped exploring.

"With so many people rushing to the Ruins of Gods, how many of them will be able to come out alive?" Wang Hongwu chuckled. Although the mythological era was very far away, the ancient heaven still made all parties excited, and no one wanted to miss it. Now that the gods from outside the domain and the ancient saints from all the stars were coming in droves, it was bound to be a rare grand event, or it could be a terrible bloodbath.

The forbidden zone of life, Shenxu probably would not have thought that one day it would be so lively.

As time passed, more and more masters arrived, and even the long-silent demon tribe in Nanling showed up.

Their status had previously been unstable, better than that of the human race, but not much better. They originally originated in the central region of the Eastern Wilderness, but ended up going to the Nanling Mountains to develop, where there were the fewest powerful people among all the races.

It is said that among this generation of demons there is also a special physique similar to that of humans, which is known as the "Heavenly Demon Body".

His luck was against the will of heaven, and he had many adventures when he was young. Later, when he was looking for opportunities in the ancestral land of the East Wilderness, he happened to witness the Holy Emperor Daohen killing the remnant of the Holy Spirit in Purgatory. The aftermath of the war tore open countless cracks in the void, and he was sucked into a crack. He survived the disaster and instead entered the Yuhua Fairy Valley in the Southern Region. He took a rare flower and gained great fortune.

After returning to Nanling, he overcame various tests and showed his potential. He was then considered to have the potential to become the future leader of the demon clan, surpassing his predecessors and ascending to the position of "Demon God". He only came out of seclusion recently after he mastered the forbidden technique.

As soon as he came out of seclusion, he showed his powerful strength, defeated the proud sons from outside the domain, suppressed the favorite disciples of the saints from outside the sky, and even killed the king. He was hailed as the Demon King of Nanling.

Apart from knowing his physique, the outside world knows nothing about his background, true body, heritage, etc. It is so mysterious.

There were many teams of demons arriving. Their appearance was somewhat similar to that of the ancient tribe, but there were also great differences. The ancient tribe was born with intelligence and different species, while the demon tribe was transformed from plants and animals through spiritualism, and gradually cultivated and opened up their intelligence. They appeared in the form of various animals mixed with humans. There was a demon saint leading the way, leading hundreds of bone chariots and coming in a mighty procession, surrounded by a figure in the center.

The man was dressed in purple, with a slender and outstanding figure, gorgeous hair, and four-colored flames boiling around him, as if the light of the earth, fire, wind, and water were spinning together, containing the power of heaven and earth. His face was blurry and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman, but the only thing that could be felt was the powerful aura. He was undoubtedly a young king.

The visitor from Fire Mulberry Planet was also a demon, so he was very concerned. After a careful examination, he exclaimed in surprise, "The so-called Heavenly Demon Body is only the smallest opportunity. That divine flower is probably the biggest one. It is very similar to the divine flower recorded in ancient history that blooms once every 50,000 years."

"Once every 50,000 years? That would guarantee someone becoming a Great Sage, or even a Quasi-Emperor, right?" "It's hard to say. Even the greatest opportunity depends on the individual. Not everyone with good fortune can soar to the sky. Most pearls are left covered in dust."

Some people were greatly surprised and speculated whether it was the legendary demon flower; others disagreed, thinking that the most important thing is the person himself. Without a strong heart and perseverance, there will be no great achievements.

"Oh? That's the legendary Protoss? There's a halo behind their heads, which is quite intimidating." More people are still interested in the Protoss. After all, the name is very arrogant, and whether they have the strength to match it is very eye-catching.

"Hmph, bullshit God Clan! Even my royal family isn't so arrogant, how can they be so arrogant?" The royal family members looked down on the God Clan, thinking their title was too arrogant. Who dared to call themselves gods in front of the ancient royal family? They thought they were descendants of the Emperor!
The eight descendants of the immortal god are still here!
Therefore, the creatures of the eight tribes of gods were intentionally or unintentionally keeping an eye on the gods, as if they were planning to capture a few of them and take them back for research.

"A royal family has entered!" "Is it the First Royal Family? Their talents are most suitable for exploring the way."

"Come on, come on, keep up! Those guys from outside the domain are also leaving."

Wherever someone leads the way, others will follow. The crowd surges and flows into the crack, heading towards the ruins of heaven.

However, the passage was small, the access area was very limited, and no one wanted to fall behind, so conflicts and quarrels were inevitable.

In addition, there had always been conflicts between several of the major tribes, and a fierce battle soon broke out here, splashing blood and making the place even more chaotic.

With so many people, if a war breaks out, it will be very scary and may become the fuse for a river of blood.

Many people retreated, fearing that they would be drawn into the terrible whirlpool.

Wang Hongwu slapped his waist, and the Immortal-Slaying Gourd spit out chaotic light, which expanded into a cloud, carrying him and the Dragon Girl, and then rushed out, directly making a way through the crowd. No one dared to stop them, only Duan De cursed and controlled a formation platform to fly into the sky to catch up, but was almost left behind.

"The Dragon King has also set off!" "He is indeed with the Dragon Girl."

"The descendants of the ancient emperors from Huolin Cave, Blood Phoenix Mountain, Golden Cave, and Divine Silkworm Ridge have been in there for a long time. They will most likely run into each other."

People are concerned about whether this madman who became famous all over the world not long ago will cause another big stir?

However, some people also stared at Duan De who was chasing them from behind, and their expressions suddenly changed. "Eh? Something is wrong. Why does that fat guy look so familiar? He's the bastard who dug up my clan's cemetery!"

"The more I look at it, the more it resembles him. He even dug up the grave of our ancestral king!" "Go after him! Avenge our ancestors for eighteen generations!"

For a moment, the crowd was outraged, and all the tribes that had been visited by the unscrupulous Taoist priests rushed over with howls.

On the other side, the three of them crossed the passage and came to the edge of the Shenxu area. It was also very turbulent here, filled with corpses and battlefields.

According to legend, when the remains of the ancient heaven fell here, it triggered a great war between the ancient sages and extraterritorial gods. In order to fight for the fortune here, the fight was so fierce that it shocked the heavens and the earth, and in the end it was extremely tragic and all the strong men died.

The blood of gods dyed this place red, and their holy laws remained unchanged, intertwined here. Every night one could hear the roars of gods and demons.

"It's the ancient royal heirs fighting!"

At this moment, people sensed a powerful wave emanating from the far reaches of the land, as if two prehistoric beasts were confronting each other. It was Huo Qizi and Huang Xudao, bursting from a secret location and locked in a fierce battle. They seemed to be fighting over something. In their midst, the coffin of an extraterritorial deity shook, stained with mud; it was unknown where it had been dug out.

Everyone looked intently and saw that it was actually a stone coffin with an ancient shape. It was engraved with ancient objects such as the sun, moon, and stars. There were also nine kinds of cloud patterns. Each posture was a rune of the Great Dao, which turned into an unparalleled power to suppress the void, causing the ancestor king to look sideways with a look of surprise.

Since she was fought over by two ancient princes, she must have an extraordinary background.

The two men charged into the wilderness, letting go of their hands and feet. Their Taoist magic was shocking. One after another, mountains thousands of feet high were like paper, and they collapsed one after another under their attacks.

Suddenly, rocks flew through the air, waves crashed against the shore, and a vast ocean of energy rolled up to the sky. The two men fought to a boiling point, as if meteors were about to fall.

"Collect the blood of the ancient saints and the essence of the gods from outside the domain, and bring them back to nourish the Son of God."

In the area with the densest concentration of corpses, a group of armored creatures appeared. These people had different appearances and came from Ancient Emperor Mountain. Some of them had magical wings and lightning wrapped around their bodies; some had devilish light that blocked the moon and had the power to move mountains and rivers. They were like a group of resurrected gods, and they were the descendants of the Eight Gods.

"We must take away the relics in the Heavenly Palace. The fragments of the Immortal Cauldron must not fall into the hands of the Dragon King, and certainly not be taken by Wang Hongwu of Zhongzhou." A descendant of a divine general spoke, his words buzzing so loudly that the mountains in front were shaking.

Just as he was speaking, Wang Hongwu arrived on a chaotic cloud of light, standing majestically in the sky like a god, his body as crystal clear as glass and divine gold. He glanced around, his eyes as sharp as lightning. People did not dare to look him in the eye and lowered their heads. In people's eyes, he was like a young god-king, with the aura of suppressing the era and dominating the world.

"Dongfang Taiyi!"

At this moment, the Golden Goddess came, her eyes spitting fire, and rushed straight towards Wang Hongwu. She had made progress in the Imperial Ruins Realm, and when she saw her enemy, she attacked without hesitation.

"A sticky woman!" Before Wang Hongwu could make a move, the Dragon Girl rushed forward, raised her hand and manifested a bell furnace that illuminated the purple smoke, splitting a huge purple ravine that directly blocked the momentum of the Golden Girl. The battle continued into the depths with billowing smoke and clouds, roaring past, and many mountain ranges were broken. They scolded each other coldly and disliked each other.

Wang Hongwu was stunned. Is this a war between women?
Unfortunately, although there was no interference from the Golden Goddess, the other two royal heirs who had suffered losses at his hands had no intention of giving up.

Huo Qilin and Huang Xudao attacked at the same time, the Qilin Seal and the Divine Phoenix Fire fell from the sky, sweeping across hundreds of miles. Wang Hongwu waved his hands, and a huge purple bell shadow fell from the sky, protecting himself and blocking the burning of the Divine Fire. Then he slapped out with a palm, colliding with the Qilin Seal. The three of them shook at the same time, and rushed deeper at the same time.

The creatures living along the way roared in anger, but could not withstand the blow. People clearly saw a golden roc with a golden body hundreds of feet long explode in the sky and turned into blood mist.

A tiger king at the level of Zhan Dao pounced, but was crushed to pieces by three big feet; one after another powerful creatures that were powerful enough to stir up the world were killed, and they couldn't even withstand the aftermath, let alone approach the center of the battlefield.

At this time, Wang Hongwu fought against two ancient princes in succession. Every move he made was in accordance with the laws of nature and in harmony with the Tao. With a clear whistle, he turned towering mountains into dust, and he was the bravest man in the world.

Donghuang Bell!
He shouted loudly, and purple smoke rose from the top of his head. Suddenly, a loud dragon roar was heard, and a divine bell with shining purple light flew out. It was engraved with the fourteen stars of Ziwei, surrounded by the ancient tribes, and steamed with chaotic energy. The moment it appeared, the souls of all the creatures within a radius of 800 miles were shocked, and they fell into a brief void, as if their three souls and seven spirits were about to be shaken off, and their souls were about to be killed.

Dong Huang held the bell and struck the primordial chaos. The sound caused the universe to collapse! Amidst the chanting of praise from heaven and earth, Wang Hongwu shook his arm. The mountains and rivers collapsed, and the long river flowed backwards towards the sky. With a sweep of the bell, the whole world trembled, and the stars and moon lost their light.

The soul weapon made of divine purple gold was so terrifying that it repelled the two ancient princes when it swept across. Their consciousness was erratic and they were in a trance for a moment. The surrounding wasteland was forcibly pressed down hundreds of feet deep, presenting a ring-shaped terrain like a bell wave.

'Huangji governs the world, creates the heaven and the earth, interprets the sun and the moon, transforms yin and yang, governs the origin and the world, and transforms the laws of heaven into human affairs...' Wang Hongwu ran through the outline of his own scriptures, and suddenly runes all over his body flashed, and the great way resonated. One passage after another of the scriptures transformed him into a real dragon, interpreting the phoenix, dancing there in the sky and shocking the world.

He became powerful and unstoppable, almost completely destroying the vast wilderness and razing it to the ground. He overpowered the ancient prince and directly separated the two with the Lingxu Divine Seal. The Donghuang Bell covered them and took away the coffin of the extraterritorial god that they were fighting for, catching them off guard.

This sarcophagus was very extraordinary. It did not break even under the shock of the fight between the three people. Instead, nine patterns emerged on it, including real dragons, fairy phoenixes, and divine unicorns. Finally, only one pattern was left, surrounding the surface of the sarcophagus, and was taken into Wang Hongwu's hands.

The bell shook the nine heavens, snatching food from the jaws of the two ancient royal heirs!
The strength required to seize such an opportunity head-on is extremely terrifying, which makes the expressions of those so-called prides from outside the domain suddenly solemn and deeply fearful.

"As expected, a war among the ancient royal heirs has broken out. I just wonder if any of the strong men from outside the domain can defeat them?" Everyone was terrified. It could be said that this would be the most brutal competition in history. Everyone should be a hero that is unrivaled in an era. Coming from different periods, they were gathered together, and the most terrifying collision would occur.

In a sense, this will be a conquest among the ancient emperors, and their descendants will represent their way, completing a peak showdown and fulfilling their last wishes.

"Is this really possible at this level?"

"Impossible. If we were to go up there, we wouldn't even be able to withstand the aftermath. Could they single-handedly kill tens of thousands of beings of the same realm?"

In the outside world, many people are in despair. They are far behind and are not even on the same order of magnitude. There is no way they can fight against those people.

They are peerless geniuses, or we can say they are the strongest seeds from different eras. There will be a great collision that will shock the ancient and modern times. In other eras, only one of them would be enough to conquer the world, but now they are just one of the contenders.

As they fought, the entire area collapsed, with cracks crisscrossing the ground and rocks everywhere, making it a devastated place.

"Could it be something related to that coffin? It really looks like it, but it once destroyed a powerful quasi-royal family in the past." The ancestral kings were paying attention to the sarcophagus that Wang Hongwu took away, and thought of some secrets.

The ancestral kings from the three great celestial clans all had solemn expressions on their faces, because they clearly remembered an old event. In the past, the strongest race under the royal family was exterminated because they obtained a nine-layer stone coffin. All this was because they touched the forbidden thing in the deepest part of the coffin.

Could it be that the sarcophagus obtained by the three ancient royal heirs is one of the layers?
Amidst the clamor and excitement, and attracting everyone's attention, the three men rushed into a strange place and saw a huge black river rushing. It was magnificent, but silent.

This is the water of the underworld. According to legend, it originated from the underworld and is rarely seen in the world. But here it has turned into a big river.

Just approaching the shore, they felt the chill of the black river water. Even if a powerful person came here, the netherworld water vapor could directly corrode his flesh and blood.

"Corpses?" "The remains of an ancient saint." "This river has a source."

The three men spoke one after another. While fighting, they looked upstream and saw corpses rushing down the Styx from time to time. Although they had already rotted, they still had human shapes.

As they continued to get closer, they were hit by the breath of death, which made them feel as if they had entered the underworld. It was not until they traveled hundreds of miles that they reached the end.

This is an iceberg, freezing cold, with frozen corpses one after another, wearing ancient costumes, from all races, with different appearances of death, looking eerie and hideous. At this time, it is constantly melting, gathering into a river of Hades, flowing downstream.

The source of the River Styx is surrounded by icebergs and is actually a deep pool.

The pool was bottomless and pitch black. Bursts of black steam rose up, accompanied by corpses.

The appearance of such a corpse pool at the source of the Styx was truly surprising. Even Huang Xudao's expression changed, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is it related to the underworld?"

"How could Shenxu be related to the underworld?" Huo Qizi questioned, thinking it unlikely; but Wang Hongwu felt that wherever there was a powerful corpse, there was the underworld, not to mention that the ruins of heaven were also here, so it was not surprising that the underworld had tentacles reaching out.

However, this requires another professional to handle it.

Pah! Duan De patted his sleeves, straightened his clothes, held his head high, and walked forward with a figure eight step. "Move aside, let the greatest gravedigger of this era, the witness of reincarnation, the respected Taoist Duan, come and have a look."
