I, the Chaos Entity, joined the chat group at the start.

"This battle will not end quickly, Butcher. If you are willing, go to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and take care of a young man for me. He is the one destined to end this war," said Willow God.

The butcher remained silent for a long time, then nodded, looking at Liu Shen with deep respect.

The butcher had been lost in the Boundary Sea for a long time, but with the help of the Willow God, returning to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was not a big problem.

The Willow God crossed the Boundary Sea and arrived directly at the Ultimate Ancient Land.

The distance between these two places is far greater than crossing the void of the universe. Even a Celestial King would not be able to cross it in less than hundreds of thousands of years, provided there is no major danger.

This isn't a big problem for a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

The Ultimate Ancient Land is shrouded in layers of hazy mist. It is a desolate place. Although there are living plants, they are all polluted by dark matter. Every now and then, a storm will blow out from the depths of the Ultimate Ancient Land and into the Boundary Sea, turning it into a terrifying nightmare that destroys the world.

Willow God saw ancient buildings, which were the celestial court of an unknown era, buried here, along with countless celestial soldiers who were buried with her, transformed into dark celestial soldiers, immortal and indestructible, only devoid of life, merely puppets.

Liu Shen looked ahead and saw a phantom sitting on a dilapidated stone throne, draped in a gray-white robe. Its whole body was withered and exuded an aura of decay, but the eyes in its sunken sockets were like flames in the darkness, extremely dazzling and full of majesty.

“You are the Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor hiding here,” Liu Shen said, her inner pressure increasing.

This kind of pressure is unprecedented in all of history.

She wasn't without encounters with extraordinary talents and peerless geniuses of her time, but none of them were as remarkable as this person.

"Those who come later, from the other side of the sea, have lost their true destiny by not bowing to the Emperor!"

The withered old man on the stone seat spoke, and his voice was like the voice of the Great Dao, deafening.

……

Chapter 353 The Battle of Quasi-Immortal Emperors

"To fail to bow before the emperor is to have already lost one's destiny!"

"Your name is on the path of reincarnation; I bow with each step!"

...

In the ancient palace, a majestic voice rang out, utterly indifferent, its coldness and ruthlessness seemingly freezing time and space. Even someone as accomplished as Liu Shen felt a chill run down her spine.

This person's aura is incredibly strong, in no way weaker than mine, and perhaps even much stronger.

Those who can step into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm are all the strongest beings in their era. Their talents, secret techniques, and supernatural abilities are all top-notch, and their combat experience is unparalleled.

This is the Azure Emperor of the Ultimate Ancient Land. Countless eons ago, the Azure Emperor attained the Quasi-Immortal Emperor status, opened up his own path, and went extremely deep on this path. Unfortunately, he did not reach the end of the path and could no longer push his path to its limit. That is why he came to the Ultimate Ancient Land to observe a part of the incomplete Immortal Emperor's scriptures left behind by the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

This is also the origin of the turmoil in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

To obtain the Immortal Emperor's Scriptures, one must pay a price.

The life essence and pure energy of countless beings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Immortal Realm, are the price paid.

Willow Goddess held her breath, cleared her mind of all distractions, and her body emanated the golden light of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, diminishing the Azure Emperor's power to nothingness.

"Since the beginning of time, it has been you who have been manipulating everything behind the scenes, causing the alien realms and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the Immortal Realm to fight each other." Liu Shen spoke, her gaze solemn.

"Control?"

"That's their honor!"

The Azure Emperor responded. Although his body was extremely withered and emaciated, like a broken skeleton, the aura of death and destruction emanating from him was so intense that even a Celestial King could not stand in front of him and would be annihilated and assimilated by the Azure Emperor's aura in an instant.

"Those who have reached this point are all people of great perseverance. You should have been supreme beings, protecting all races. How did you end up like this? The path of others is ultimately someone else's. Don't you understand now that you've come this far?"

Liu Shen did not make a move. Although she wanted to eliminate the source of this darkness, she also understood that it was just a mere Azure Emperor. She was not confident of victory. To kill him might come at a great cost, but it would still be unsuccessful.

Meanwhile, there are three dark quasi-immortal emperors in the shadows. They haven't shown themselves yet, but once they do, it will be a dead end.

The Azure Emperor remained silent for a moment, his sunken, crimson eyes lost in thought. "It seems you know quite a bit. The ultimate ancient emperors do indeed have the secret to becoming emperors, whether it's from a Celestial King or a Quasi-Celestial Emperor, or from a Quasi-Celestial Emperor to a Celestial Emperor! To completely traverse this path, one can only rely on oneself."

But the Immortal Emperor's scriptures contain unfathomable power, which can help me advance further and reach a higher realm.

How could the Azure Emperor not understand the Willow Goddess's words? No one is a fool to have come this far; it's just that they have reached the limit of their own path and can no longer go any further. If they don't have a heaven-defying opportunity in this life, the probability of becoming an Immortal Emperor is ridiculously low.

At this moment, the Immortal Emperor's Scripture appeared. Faced with the Immortal Emperor's Scripture and Dao, who could calmly resist such temptation?

They wanted to study the secrets of the Immortal Emperor's scriptures. If they could thoroughly understand them, they might be able to take this opportunity to make further progress.

They understand that following other people's paths will ultimately prevent them from transcending them.

They thought they were just borrowing from the Immortal Emperor's scriptures, but imperceptibly, their path had already been polluted and assimilated.

Even if they realize what's happening, it's too late; they'll just keep going down the same path.

They firmly believed that even if they learned the scriptures of the Corpse Immortal Emperor, they could still draw inferences from them, forge their own path, and complete their transformation. Others could not do it, but they believed that they were the special ones and that they could definitely do it.

"Boom!"

Without warning, the Azure Emperor suddenly made his move within the ancient palace.

The dark matter was boiling, like hot water, and contained countless dark symbols. These dark symbols represented the Dao of the Corpse Immortal Emperor, and just one glance would cause one's primordial spirit to be drawn into it.

With a steadfast Dao heart, Liu Shen ignored these dark and mysterious patterns. Life energy manifested around him, and a towering emerald green willow tree appeared behind him. The willow tree spread out, with billions of branches hanging down. Each branch was surrounded by galaxies and countless stars, and the power of the Great Dao of Life evolved within them.

The Azure Emperor's outstretched gray hand looked withered and bony, yet it carried an overwhelming imperial aura that was unstoppable.

Within the palm of your hand, the sun and moon revolve, the stars are endless, the universe is being created, chaos is swirling, and a path of reincarnation appears and disappears.

Liu Shen was terrified. This was just a slight move. Even if a Celestial King had come, he would have been annihilated in an instant, without any power to resist.

The countless branches of the Willow God's Dharma Image waved, each branch swaying continuously, and strands of life energy transformed into immortal swords. Instantly, countless immortal swords soared into the sky, all hurtling towards the Azure Emperor's palm!

Boom!

The first move, though a mere test, was earth-shattering; the entire Ultimate Ancient Land shook, and countless skeletons were destroyed.

The Azure Emperor was slightly surprised, "A newly enlightened being with such strength is not bad, not bad at all."

"You are both quasi-Immortal Emperors. Do you really think you can kill me in one move?" Liu Shen asked in return.

"Indeed," the Azure Emperor said with a calm smile.

“It’s a pity you’ve already fallen and decayed. Although the Dark Scriptures can improve your cultivation, you will eventually stop here,” said Willow God.

"Fall, haha, emperors are immortal, how can they fall?"

"Darkness, light, the bizarre, death, destruction—these are all the vehicles of the Tao, merely its manifestations."

"If one can achieve the highest level, why should one care about appearances?" the Azure Emperor said.

“You’re obsessed, you’ve gone too far, and this isn’t your path. You may think that even if you learn the Immortal Emperor’s scriptures, you can still forge your own path, but that’s just your belief. You’re unwilling to admit that you’ve been wrong all along.” Willow God’s words were sharp, and the quasi-Immortal Emperor’s radiance in his hand condensed into an immortal sword.

"shut up."

The Azure Emperor roared and spat out a large white bone seal.

Accompanied by the power of darkness, the Great White Bone Seal rapidly expanded and swelled, pressing down on the Willow Goddess in a terrifying display.

The bone imprints, bearing the marks of time and imbued with the power of supreme laws, can be heard wailing from countless living beings.

This is a quasi-immortal emperor's magic weapon, sacrificed with the blood of hundreds of millions of lives, and its power is terrifying.

Liu Shen didn't have a suitable quasi-immortal emperor weapon, so she could only condense an immortal sword to attack head-on. She evolved the Grass Character Sword Technique to its limit, severing the river of time with a single sword strike. The boundless void was split in two, and the sword energy swept across the nine heavens, knocking away the White Bone Seal.

"You've only just attained enlightenment, yet your strength is already this great. It seems your Dao is extremely powerful. Killing you and devouring your Dao might allow my cultivation to advance significantly!" The Azure Emperor's aura grew even stronger, increasing dramatically.

The reason why Liu Shen's strength has improved by leaps and bounds is not only because she has strengthened her own path, but also because she has integrated the secret realm method, and has discussed the Dao with Xu Yi, a quasi-immortal emperor, many times. She has a profound foundation and her talent is extraordinary.

Chapter 354 The Willow Goddess Who Guards the Prison with Her Idol

The ultimate ancient land.

The ancient hall, the former imperial palace, is now a scene of decay and ruins.

This was the palace of a quasi-immortal emperor, engraved with array patterns that could obliterate an immortal king. But at this moment, all of these killing arrays had been destroyed because of the battle between the Willow God and the Azure Emperor.

The battle between the two was so intense that it stirred up endless waves in the Boundary Sea. A dark storm raged, and the ancient Immortal King in the Boundary Sea looked terrified, feeling that he would be completely destroyed in the next second.

They could sense an inconceivable power emanating from the Boundary Sea, a power that surpassed even that of a Celestial King, the ultimate secret manifestation of breaking through the King to become an Emperor.

The boundary sea roared, like a bottomless abyss swallowing everything.

In order to obtain the secret of breaking through the King and becoming an Emperor, the ancient Immortal King went mad, and despite the risk of being destroyed by the storm in the Boundary Sea, he forcibly crossed the Boundary Sea.

On the other side of the Boundary Sea, the Butcher with his bow and arrow had completely left. Looking towards the direction of the Ultimate Ancient Land, he knew that Willow God and Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor were fighting. This battle would not have a quick result, but the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths did not have much time left.

According to the information given by Liu Shen, there were four Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors squatting there, and Liu Shen's defeat was only a matter of time.

However, it would take at least tens of thousands of years to completely erase the traces of a quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Unlike Immortal Kings, Quasi-Immortal Emperors are no longer cultivators, but rather the progenitors and masters who have created their own path systems. They are immortal and indestructible, and unless they are Immortal Emperors whose realms are far higher than their own, they are very difficult to kill. The life level of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor is simply too high.

"Ancestral spirit, I, the Butcher, will surely help you break through the King's throne and become Emperor as soon as possible." The Butcher disappeared.

Similarly, the other two emperors, Emperor Yu and Emperor Hong, watched the battle from the shadows and did not directly intervene.

Although the three emperors could kill Liu Shen directly if they attacked together.

However, being a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, he disdained to join forces against a newly promoted Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

They are all top geniuses born in one era, or even multiple eras, and they possess their own pride and dignity.

They firmly believed that they were invincible, that no one else could compare to them, and that they were unbeatable at the same level. Even if there were stronger opponents, they could protect themselves and remain undefeated.

"This later Quasi-Immortal Emperor is quite powerful. Although he was suppressed by the Azure Emperor, he has managed to fight until now without being at a disadvantage, which is truly remarkable," the Hong Emperor said.

The Emperor Hong was dressed in a purple imperial robe and wore an ancient imperial crown. His gaze was majestic, and he was surrounded by a thick purple aura, which was the aura of an era. This aura emanated from him, and he was a man of great power, attracting everyone's attention.

"Hmph, if you don't join our camp, then you can only be a sacrifice." Emperor Yu snorted coldly, his gaze indifferent.

The Feather Emperor was clad in armor, with a pair of blood-red wings on his back. He looked extremely noble, his body flawless, and his aura was sharper than anyone else in the world, as if he could destroy all the heavens and myriad worlds with a single thought.

As the four Dark Emperors of the Boundary Sea, each of them is an exceptionally rare and monstrous genius.

Unfortunately, the heavens were blocked by the corpse of the Immortal Emperor. They dared not approach the body because they were unsure whether it was still alive and conscious, as the Immortal Emperor's realm was too mysterious and unpredictable.

If they could enter the heavens and, with their talents, enter the strange race, they could even become Dark Immortal Emperors without any hindrance. They might even be candidates for the progenitor, that is, powerful priests of the strange race.

Looking across the heavens, apart from the Three Heavenly Emperors, the Four Dark Emperors possess top-tier talent, perseverance, and opportunities, with few who can rival them.

Even giants like Butcher, top geniuses of the Immortal Realm, and unparalleled prodigies of an era.

Similarly, there is an insurmountable gap between them and the Dark Emperors.

suddenly.

As the two emperors were discussing, the Azure Emperor's physical body was suddenly shattered, half of his body was directly reduced to particles, and the Azure Emperor looked at the Willow Goddess in disbelief.

From the start of the battle until now, he has analyzed Willow God's fighting pattern, which is to continue using her inexhaustible life force and then use willow branches to transform into immortal swords for long-range attacks. Therefore, the Azure Emperor chose to fight head-on, using his supreme movement technique to teleport in front of Willow God and forcefully press down.

Little did he expect that he would feel something was wrong as soon as he took a punch, because the power of the Willow God was too strong, so strong that it could ignore all laws and shatter all paths.

The Willow God cultivated by taking human form based on the willow tree. In terms of physical strength, he was no match for a quasi-immortal emperor like the Azure Emperor. In other words, he was weak in terms of pure power. However, he instantly defeated the Azure Emperor with a single punch.

When their cultivation reaches their level, they themselves are the carriers of the Dao, their own Dao is equal to the Great Dao, and their status is the same, so there is no possibility of heavenly tribulations or divine punishment.

Therefore, at this level, supernatural powers and techniques are no longer of great significance. What matters is one's foundation and one's control over the Dao. Whoever goes further is stronger. This is the law of this world.

"call."

Liu Shen let out a soft breath; all of this was within her expectations.

Her body was now filled with 1.296 billion divine elephant particles, and an infinite universe was evolving within her body, like the beginning of a new era, with all things being renewed. The divine elephant particles were inexhaustible, and her power was inexhaustible, absorbing the power of all the heavens.

Previously, during his discussion with Xu Yi, he learned this powerful supernatural ability from him.

Ordinary supernatural powers are naturally meaningless, but the Divine Elephant Suppressing Hell Force is different; its power amplification alone is absolutely overwhelming compared to others of the same level.

With Xu Yi's help, she quickly mastered the Divine Elephant Suppressing Hell Force physical cultivation method, fully opening up her physical particles and storing the power of the heavens.

The current Willow God not only possesses an inexhaustible restorative power and vitality, but also pure great "strength," which can be described as breaking through all laws with one force.

It's a pity. Although half of the Azure Emperor's physical body was destroyed, this level of damage couldn't directly kill a quasi-Immortal Emperor. At most, it would only obliterate a little bit of his essence, which could be recovered in an instant.

As expected, the dark matter from the Ultimate Ancient Land swept towards the Azure Emperor. As the dark matter entered his body, half of the Azure Emperor's physical body was rapidly restored.

But the Azure Emperor refused to believe in evil and continued to charge into battle. With the power of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor and the radiance of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, he manifested an indestructible golden body.

More than 1.2 billion particles of Liu Shen's physical body vibrated together, as if the power of the entire infinite universe had gathered together, and a terrifying power once again erupted from Liu Shen's fist.

In the most direct collision, without any supernatural powers or spells, the Azure Emperor's skull was shattered by a single punch, and his quasi-immortal body cracked open.

Willow Goddess gave Azure Emperor no chance to recover, continuously throwing punches. Behind her appeared a divine elephant that could forever suppress all heavens, roaring with a deafening sound that suppressed all realms!

"How could that be? How could I be inferior to you, a latecomer?" the Azure Emperor said unwillingly.
