Humans are devouring and selling off the heavens

Chapter 385 Do not be a Taoist priest who establishes a kingdom

Countless years have passed, seemingly billions of years have gone by in the blink of an eye.

In a hidden little world concealed within a seamless void, Morosa finally let out a long-suppressed, joyful whisper.

"Success—the Destruction Emperor has finally been conceived by me."

Before him, a figure covered in dark, mysterious scales, with an indifferent expression, was kneeling respectfully.

Its body was surging with an extremely pure aura of destruction, a destructive power originating from the very source of the Great Dao, even more refined and domineering than that of Morosa himself.

It seems that from the very beginning, it was destined to end everything and destroy all paths.

On either side of the black-armored figure, fifty-four other beings with overwhelming auras knelt in unison.

These were the eighteen generals and thirty-six commanders of the Destruction Legion.

Even the weakest of the leaders has reached the limit of the God-King realm!

The black-armored figure in the center had reached the pinnacle of the Origin World, becoming the ultimate warrior, the Destruction Emperor.

His combat strength even surpasses that of Morosa!

Morosa alone was enough to rival a monarch who possessed the complete set of divine emperor treasures. From this, one could tell just how incredibly powerful this Destruction Emperor was.

Only now, with the Destruction Emperor in his grasp and the complete Destruction Legion at his command, Morosa truly has the confidence to declare that even if all the Emperors were to mobilize and join forces to stop him, he is confident in destroying the world and era of the Origin World.

Even four or five beings of the same level could not stop him from destroying the world, let alone a peak world beast king who possesses a legion of destruction and a destructive emperor.

"Not to mention that my master also prepared a God Emperor's treasure for me, and it seems to be a God Emperor's perfect level treasure."

Thinking of this, Morosa was secretly delighted.

In this way, he could practically do whatever he wanted on the Origin Continent.

On the other side, inside the Zhutian Pavilion, Xu Qing was meditating with his eyes closed. The Great Dao of Life and the Great Dao of Destruction intertwined and flowed around him, transforming into the profound Daoist rhythm of birth and death cycles.

The deal with Klein gave him enough reward points to exchange for an Ultimate Realm Great Dao, but for him now, a simple Ultimate Realm Great Dao could no longer bring about a substantial leap in strength.

After a moment's thought, Xu Qing made her choice—

Instead of exchanging for the Ultimate Realm, he exchanged for the Path of Life and Death of the Second Level of God King.

This is the supreme path of fusion where life and destruction are intertwined. The reward points required to exchange for it are comparable to the sum of two independent paths plus one fusion path, yet it is well worth the price.

With a single thought, Xu Qing unleashed the vast power of the Dao of Life and Death, where life and annihilation coexisted, creation and destruction were intertwined, as if heaven and earth were upside down and all paths were overturned.

In the instant he unleashed his full power, he clearly touched upon the supreme rules and restrictions of the Origin Continent.

With just the power of the second level of the God King realm, his combat strength soared to the level of the God Emperor, reaching the upper limit of power on the Origin Continent.

At this point, Xu Qing was able to stand on equal footing with the three progenitors of the Eastern Extreme Domain, the Flame Wind Progenitor, and the Thunder Progenitor, truly ascending to the top level of the Origin Continent and gaining the right to divide up the continent's resources and influence.

"Congratulations! I never expected you to have made such a remarkable breakthrough in such a short time!"

A hearty laugh suddenly broke through the restrictions of the Pavilion of All Heavens, and the figure of the Old Demon of Time and Space slowly stepped in, his gaze falling on Xu Qing, full of shock and amazement.

Xu Qing raised his eyes, his tone calm: "Emperor of Time and Space, I presume the items I requested have been prepared?"

"Nature brought it."

The leader of the Time-Space Demons, savoring the terrifying power that Xu Qing had just displayed, which touched upon the supreme rules, couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that Fellow Daoist Qingyang has already broken through that insurmountable barrier and stepped into the level of the three great ancestors."

"Who could have imagined that, besides Emperor Qing, a member of the ancient royal family, there would be someone else in this era who could break through the ultimate realm of the God King and become a God Emperor, surpassing the limits of the God King!"

Between the ultimate realm of God King and the realm of God Emperor lies an immense, insurmountable barrier that has stood for millennia. Countless geniuses from various worlds have perished here, never to advance an inch further in their lives.

Throughout countless eons of the Origin Continent, only the three progenitors—Eastern Extreme Domain, Flame Wind, and Thunder—have successfully broken through to the God Emperor realm.

In Rainstorm City, cultivators below the God Emperor level are the majority. Hundreds of millions of cultivators from various worlds gather here, but there are only a few million God Emperor level experts, a gap as vast as an insurmountable chasm.

The Time-Space Demon never expected that another God Emperor would emerge in this era, and that Xu Qing would be the only one without any support, royal background, or massive resources.

"It seems I made the right deal this time. The Azure Sun God Emperor's talent is truly extraordinary!"

The Time-Space Demon smiled and opened his mouth. With a flick of his palm, one after another, dazzling treasures floated out and suppressed the void.

All of them are supreme treasures at the perfect level of God Emperor. Each one is worth a million Chaos Origin Crystals, comparable to a thousand secret treasures at the early stage of God Emperor. There are four sets in total, worth tens of millions of Chaos Origin Crystals!

In addition, there are top-tier natural treasures comparable to world-class primordial life remains, extremely rare and worth billions of primordial crystals.

"As expected of the Time-Space Emperor, integrity is paramount. The slanders of those two progenitors are truly laughable." Xu Qing smiled upon seeing this.

"Not at all, not at all, it's just a matter of each taking what they need, haha!" The Time-Space Demon laughed loudly.

He came for personal gain, and the fact that he might be recognized by a fellow God Emperor, rather than being called "Old Demon of Time and Space" by the people of the Origin Continent, inevitably gave him a sense of satisfaction.

The two exchanged goods and settled the transaction smoothly, and everyone was happy.

"If Emperor Qingyang has any needs in the future, please feel free to ask, as long as it is within my capabilities."

After chatting with Xu Qing for a while, the Time-Space Demon left satisfied, carrying ten special life remains. He secretly sighed that this transaction had truly been very profitable.

If he sells these special life remains, he will earn more Hunyuan Crystals in just these two transactions than he might ever earn in his entire life.

After seeing off the Time-Space Demon, Xu Qing had a thought and directly summoned Morosa.

Morosa arrived hurriedly with the Destruction Emperor, his face beaming with undisguised joy. He bowed deeply and said, "Master! The Destruction Emperor has been successfully conceived, and my power has reached its peak!"

Xu Qing glanced at the Destruction Emperor and nodded slightly: "Hmm, not bad, his combat power is indeed a notch stronger than yours."

"Next, I have something for you to do."

Xu Qing raised his eyes, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority.

"The territory left behind by the former King of Tiankun has been divided up by various forces. Go and reclaim it all, leaving not an inch behind, and establish a kingdom that belongs to me."

He is not the type to suffer in silence or let others take advantage of him.

This step signals his formal intervention in the conflicts of the Origin Continent and his struggle for dominance.

Unlike Luo Feng, who wields god-emperor level power but is instead sleazy and cowardly.

When he founded the Blade River Sect, he even took care of a group of natives from the Origin Continent who had not even reached the Chaos Realm. He didn't even dare to acknowledge the disciples he had already taken in, and he was unwilling to give them the title of nominal disciples, just because he was afraid that there would be opposition within the Blade River Sect and that it would be difficult to win over the masses.

Even his teacher, the Lord of Chaos City, and his elder brother Hong, only gave him the status of an ordinary disciple.

A God-Emperor level expert, actually afraid of not being able to win over the masses? And these are just some little guys at the Eternal True God realm and the Void True God realm.

That's absolutely ridiculous.

If the Thunder Ancestor, who could kill a monarch or emperor with a single cold snort when he was angry, knew about Luo Feng's incident, he would probably scoff and think that there was such a cowardly god emperor in the world.

Of course, let's not be too harsh on him. What does this show? Our Lord Luo Feng is not only a respectful disciple, but also a loving teacher (busi).

Of course, Xu Qing didn't need to worry about these things; after all, he wasn't some Heavenly Heart Daoist or Earthly Heart Daoist.

All he knew was that the so-called origin continent needed to make room for the Earth lineage.

"Master, do you mean—I can go all out now?"

Upon hearing this, Morosa's eyes lit up.

"Of course, with these two sets of God Emperor treasures, plus this top-tier natural treasure, is there anyone in the entire Origin Continent who can threaten your life?" Xu Qing said with a smile, taking out the God Emperor treasures he had prepared beforehand.

"Thank you, Master!" Morosa was thrilled when he received the two sets of God Emperor's Secret Treasures and found that they were indeed God Emperor's Perfect Secret Treasures, just as his master had said.

He was always a pleasure-seeker who couldn't stay still, and he had long wanted to come to the Origin Continent for a great time.

Perhaps all world beasts have this temperament after being enslaved. The world beast of the Purple Wood Kingdom also loved eating, drinking, and having fun, and disliked cultivation.

Morosa was only allowed to do this on Xu Qing's orders, plus—the corpse of an Ultimate Realm Primordial Bloodline is really damn delicious!

That's why he chose to cultivate and nurture the Destruction Emperor.

But now that the gestation is over, and with Xu Qing giving away two complete sets of God Emperor Perfection Secret Treasures, two top-tier innate secret treasures.

Then what else does he have to be afraid of?

Even if all the emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom formed a great formation, they might not be able to defeat him unless Di Qing made a move.

Even if Di Qing were to take action, he might not be able to stop him.

After all, even if these emperors possess secret treasures and can form formations, Morosa himself isn't without legs; he can run away.

Even if Di Qing were to make a move, the power limit of the Origin Continent would only be at the threshold of the God Emperor level. This power would not be able to instantly kill a World Beast that was at the Ultimate Realm or even possessed a complete set of God Emperor Perfection Secret Treasures.

The original food kingdom.

Hundreds of millions of years had passed in the outside world by then, and various overlords were vying for the territory of the Food Kingdom.

After all, this occupies one-thirtieth of the entire Origin Continent's territory, with boundless resources. Only the Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord, backed by Emperor Yan, was able to possess such a vast territory.

His death naturally sparked a fierce competition among countless people.

However, since they have reached the level of God-Kings and each has their own means of self-preservation, God-Kings generally do not take action and mostly just negotiate.

The ultimate victor was the Silver Moon God King, a guest minister of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, and the ruler of the Cold Forest Kingdom, which bordered the Food Kingdom.

The ruler of Hansen Kingdom was not very strong, far inferior to the Silver Moon God King and his helpers.

But he was a close friend of the King of Zimu Kingdom, and that was his greatest help.

The Lord of Zimu Kingdom possesses a peak-level Realm Beast, the Destruction Emperor, and with the help of the Realm Beast, he even became an Ultimate Realm life form, a being at the Emperor level.

With one ultimate life form and two ultimate-level combatants, the Purple Wood Kingdom is truly the number one kingdom, second only to the two ancient kingdoms.

Under this pressure, even the Silver Moon God-King complained bitterly and had no choice but to cede 75 Chaos Continents, only retaining the remaining 60.

The Chaos Continent even ceded 20 Chaos Continents to the Sea Demon God King and Tianyi God King, who were acting as his allies.

The two families thus lived peacefully for half an era.

But this peaceful period was shattered on this day.

"Silver Moon God King, Sea God King, get out here! Pack your things and get out of the Food Kingdom!"

Suddenly, a furious roar resounded throughout the entire territory of the Food Kingdom. The sheer power of the roar terrified countless residents.

"Who on earth is so presumptuous?" The Silver Moon God King's eyes widened immediately.

The newcomer clearly had his eye on the territory of the Food Kingdom, but offending him was not a big deal. Did the other party intend to offend the Cold Forest Kingdom as well?

Are these people not afraid of the King of Zimu Kingdom?

"Could it be the mysterious person who killed the Heavenly Kun Kingdom Lord before?" The Silver Moon Kingdom Lord's eyes widened as he considered this possibility.

The King of Hansen Kingdom, his hair standing on end in fury, unleashed a chilling aura that surged into a towering ice rainbow, blocking the sky above the territory of the Food Kingdom. He roared, "Who dares to act so recklessly on the territory of my Food Kingdom! This border was personally demarcated by the King of Zimu Kingdom long ago. Your rash invasion is an attempt to make an enemy of the entire Zimu Kingdom!"

The Silver Moon God King followed closely behind, appearing in the void. His body was covered in dazzling silver light, and the aura of the second level of the God King realm spread out all over the sky. However, deep in his eyes, there was an uncontrollable panic as he stared intently at the figure in the void that carried a monstrous aura of destruction.

Morosa hovered beneath the sky, with the Destruction Emperor and fifty-four powerful warriors of the Destruction Legion standing behind him like an ancient demonic mountain. The pure Dao of Destruction pressed down on the entire sky, causing it to twist and crack.

He merely scoffed at this, his tone icy and condescending: "Make an enemy of the Purple Wood Kingdom? What good would it do?"

"The territory of the Food Kingdom left behind by the Heavenly Kun Kingdom's ruler was originally my spoils of war. Today, I've merely come to reclaim what belongs to me. When did it become your place, a bunch of clowns, to point fingers and set the rules?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying ultimate-level pressure surged out, causing the Silver Moon God King and the Cold Forest Kingdom Lord to turn pale and tremble violently.

The two powerful experts at the second level of the God King realm were so overwhelmed by this immense pressure that they didn't even have the strength to lift their hands. Their blood was almost frozen, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and all that remained in their hearts was endless fear.

If the other party were to make a move, a single glance from them could probably kill them both!

"It's him! That mysterious and ruthless man who killed the Heavenly Kun Kingdom's ruler with a single blow!"

"Emperor Di Yan of the Yan Ancient Kingdom still has a bounty on him."

"Who would have thought that this person would not only fail to conceal their tracks, but would so blatantly set foot in the Kingdom of Food and seize its territory!"

The two were filled with turmoil, feeling that they were doomed today.

But at this moment, a deep, resonant voice, spanning countless ages and carrying a raging fury capable of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas, suddenly echoed throughout the entire territory of the Food Kingdom: "Insolence! You beast, how dare you run rampant on the Origin Continent, slaughtering the king and seizing territory? Do you really think my Flamewind Ancient Kingdom is without people, that I don't exist?"

Before the words had even faded, endless crimson divine fire erupted from the void, transforming into towering pillars of fire that supported the heavens and stomped the earth.

Ahead stood a majestic fiery figure with a humanoid body and enormous fiery wings. The flames on his wings were so intense that even the Silver Moon God King dared not look directly at him. He also had a long, thin, scaled tail.

His very existence was distorting the mind and will of the Silver Moon God-King, bringing endless pollution.

Upon seeing the newcomers, the Silver Moon God King and the Cold Forest King did not feel relieved; instead, their fear intensified.

"Emperor—Emperor Yan?!"

The newcomer was none other than Emperor Yan, the first emperor of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, who cultivated the Hunyuan bloodline and achieved the ultimate life form!
