Honghuang Taihuang

The Red Emperor of the South Pole created the Rainbow Phoenix Clan. Because of this clan, the Red Emperor was involved in many conflicts between major clans, which greatly displeased the Phoenix and Lin Clan, sowing the seeds for the later rebellion of the Phoenix and Lin Clan's leader, Li Ling.

Finally, the Central Yellow Emperor even wanted to suppress the other four Heavenly Emperors and become a supreme Heavenly Emperor like the Ochre-Black Heavenly Emperor.

Unfortunately, although the Yellow Emperor Tai Dong was very strong, the other four emperors were not weak either. The Yellow Emperor's attempt to subdue the other four emperors was unsuccessful. Instead, it provoked the other four heavenly emperors to join forces and suppress the expansion of the Yellow Emperor's forces.

Fortunately, a great change has occurred in the Zhexuan Great World. The Heavenly Dao is actively pushing forward the Great Tribulation. With the gathering of immense fortune, the first Hunyuan Daluo Daojun of the Zhexuan Great World will surely be born in this Great Tribulation.

Countless powerful beings hidden throughout the ages have emerged from the vast world of Zhexuan, and many geniuses of this era have attained the status of Great Luo Dao Lords, all intending to overpower the heroes and become Heavenly Lords in this great calamity.

That is why the Five Heavenly Emperors tacitly chose to unleash their power together at this moment. This was to tell the other great powers of the Zhe Xuan Great World that the Five Heavenly Emperors would advance and retreat together.

The Five Heavenly Emperors wield the Five Divine Steles, a power that no one would dare to easily provoke. In fact, with the combined power of the Five Heavenly Emperors and the Five Divine Steles, the Five Heavenly Emperors would be the strongest force in the Zhexuan Great World if they joined forces.

Above the vast ocean, the Nine Palaces and Thirteen Halls appeared and disappeared amidst the sea. Xuan Yuezi, the head of the Tianyi Water Pavilion, frowned as he looked at the magnificent scene at the five extreme points of heaven and earth.

The Five Heavenly Emperors are legendary innate deities. Now that even these five legendary figures have appeared, this great calamity is becoming increasingly unpredictable.

On the cliff of the Western Wilderness Continent, the White Jade Dao Palace connects with the starlight of the Nine Heavens above and draws in the essence of the dragon vein below. This Dao Palace forms its own great array of heaven and earth, and its magnificent energy covers all directions.

Within the Dao Palace, the Heavenly Numbers flowed in the eyes of Qian Yuanzi, the head of the Qiankun Dao Palace. Qian Yuanzi had evolved the supreme inheritance of the Qiankun Dao Palace, the Great Yi of Heaven, to its extreme. Countless heavenly secrets and spiritual lights constantly appeared in Qian Yuanzi's eyes, transforming into scenes of destruction that shook even Qian Yuanzi's Dao heart.

The vast ocean filled the sky, rivers surged and mountains collapsed, bones piled up everywhere, and corpses formed mountains. Dark clouds and calamity engulfed the world, and almost all living beings were wiped out. Qian Yuanzi was severely injured by the terrifying scene that came from his Dao Heart after only eight breaths, and had no choice but to stop the operation of the Qian Tian Da Yi.

"A great calamity, a great calamity..."

In the Northern Continent, the Seven Absolute Demon Palace, the current ruler of the demonic path, single-handedly suppressed the thirteen demonic palaces. Tianya Zi, the Demon Lord of hundreds of clans, watched with a smile the grand scene of the birth of the Five Heavenly Emperors.

Countless tadpole-shaped demonic patterns flickered on his jet-black beast armor, and a long, narrow demonic blade at his waist let out a fierce roar, tearing open the great swamp and mountains in front of Tianya Zi.

"This is getting more and more interesting."

The emergence of the Five Heavenly Emperors undoubtedly exacerbated the already turbulent situation in the Zhexuan Great World, causing endless undercurrents to rise.

These five Heavenly Emperors can be said to be ancient and sacred beings in the Zhexuan Great World, second only to the Zhexuan Heavenly Emperor. No one in the Zhexuan Great World can underestimate these five Heavenly Emperors.

In the Eastern Pole, Taiwei could clearly see the changing celestial numbers and the sudden surge of calamity energy within the Zhexuan Great World. Once the Five Heavenly Emperors joined forces, few in the Zhexuan Great World would have the ability to resist.

Presumably, the leaders and clan heads of these powerful forces have already begun forming alliances and plotting against the Five Heavenly Emperors.

"You all go about your business, I need to go see some old friends first."

A cold glint flashed in Taiwei's eyes. Alone with his sword, he traversed the void with the power of the Eastern Emperor Sword, arriving above the vast ocean.

The Donghuang Sword was drawn an inch from its sheath, and its sharp and fierce sword light cleaved the sea. The boundless seawater was split apart beneath Taiwei's feet, and the dark and gloomy abyss was exposed to the light of the sun, moon and stars for the first time.

The sea trembled, the wind rose and the clouds surged, endless thunder and lightning exploded on the vast ocean, and countless dark shadows emerged from the sea, sweeping towards Taiwei's location from all directions.

However, Taiwei only needed to strike down with his sword finger to kill all the sea beasts and true dragons that came to attack. In an instant, the scarlet blood had already soaked the sea area within hundreds of millions of miles.

A roar filled with rage resounded, and a ten-thousand-foot-long true dragon with four claws and five toes, covered in golden scales, burst out of the sea. Its magnificent aura as a Heavenly Emperor stirred up countless waves on the sea surface.

Behind this true dragon at the Heavenly Emperor Realm, hundreds of thousands of true dragons roared, obscuring the sun, moon, and sky. This time, the True Dragon Clan had truly unleashed all of its power.

The Azure Emperor was killed by the Dragon Ancestor Shenjiao after being seriously injured. This great calamity is the greatest calamity in the history of the Zhexuan Great World. All the karma created by all living beings and cultivators in the past will be settled in this calamity.

The Azure Emperor was killed by the Dragon Ancestor Shenjiao in the past. Taiwei came to this sea with the intention of destroying the True Dragon Clan and settling the past karma.

The ten-thousand-foot-long golden dragon transformed into a mighty man with a golden beard and bushy hair. This man wore a golden imperial robe and a crown, and was none other than the current master of the true dragon clan, the Dragon Lord Emperor Che Shi.

Countless flowers and leaves spread across the azure feather robe. Taiwei glanced at Di Cheshi, but then stopped paying attention. Instead, he looked at the roaring, surging sea beneath his feet, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Is the Azure Emperor truly determined to push things to the extreme?"

Di Cheshi looked at Taiwei with an ugly expression, his aura stirring restlessly. Di Cheshi naturally knew the purpose of Taiwei's trip. The True Dragon Clan firmly held its position as a top power in the Zhexuan Great World and was not afraid of a Heavenly Emperor who had just been resurrected.

However, just now the auras of the Five Heavenly Emperors erupted simultaneously. Today he can fight a great battle with the Azure Emperor, but tomorrow the Five Heavenly Emperors will descend together. No matter how strong his True Dragon Clan is, it will not be able to withstand the siege of the Five Heavenly Emperors.

"The Divine Reef Clan has long since perished in the calamity. Does the Azure Emperor intend to press this matter so relentlessly for the sake of a dead man?"

Upon hearing Di Cheshi's words, Taiwei suddenly let out a soft laugh. With a flick of his sword finger, the boundless primordial energy transformed into a magnificent sword light that filled the universe, blasting away tens of thousands of true dragons behind Di Cheshi.

"That old bastard from the Divine Reef clan is dead? Who told you? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Taiwei's slightly mocking words caused Di Cheshi's expression to change slightly, but before he could think about it, the sword finger flashing with azure light had already landed in front of him.

"This is outrageous!"

At the critical moment, Emperor Che shouted, and countless golden dragon scales appeared on his body. Zhou Shen's hexagonal golden light screen appeared in layers, blocking the sword finger that was falling inch by inch and piercing through the void.

boom!!

The True Dragon Clan's True Dragon Divine Aura, known as the Shield of a Thousand Mountains, was easily pierced by Taiwei's sword finger. Golden dragon scales collapsed and vanished one by one. A golden bell appeared between Emperor Che's eyebrows, but it was blasted away by Taiwei's sword finger the moment it appeared.

The gleaming, gilded bell resonated deep into the ocean, creating a vast abyss that stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles.

The cyan sword finger, like a blazing sun, landed three inches from Emperor Che's brow with unstoppable force. However, Taiwei's sword finger could not descend to those final three inches.

A withered hand covered in gold and silver dragon scales appeared out of thin air, its vast energy, no less powerful than Taiwei's, constantly surging, and it grasped Taiwei's descending sword finger.

"It's finally here. I thought you didn't care about this cauldron."

Before Taiwei, an old man with a hunched back, weathered face, and cloudy eyes stood in front of Di Cheshi. His vast and all-encompassing aura, like a boundless ocean, dispelled the killing intent emanating from Taiwei.

With his mouth missing most of his teeth, the old man grinned, a cold glint appearing in his eyes as he looked at Taiwei. A hoarse laugh escaped his lips: "I have been struggling between life and death all these years, yet the Heavenly Emperor remains as radiant as ever. I am truly envious. It is my fault that the Heavenly Emperor has personally come to the Dragon Palace."

Taiwei looked at the old man in front of him and smiled as well: "You old thing, you're still as annoying as ever. If I had known you had such a scheming mind, I shouldn't have stepped in to save you when Yin Yi besieged the Dragon Palace."

"Your Majesty, you are mistaken. Without the assistance of our great clans, how could the Heavenly Emperors possibly subdue all races and absorb the fortune of all living beings to grow further? We are merely taking what we need."

"It's a pity that the Heavenly Emperors have been in high positions for too long and don't know when to stop. If they always have people above them, then that person will be ruined for life. I have no intention of becoming a useless person for life."

As Shenjiao looked at Taiwei before him, his cloudy eyes instantly became bright and sharp.

Emperor Che looked at the old man who had suddenly appeared. He did not sense the bloodline or dragon aura of the true dragon clan from the old man. However, since the Azure Emperor Taiwei had confirmed the old man's identity as Shenjiao, Emperor Che could only look at Shenjiao with suspicion and uncertainty, his expression changing constantly.

"The once mighty True Dragon Clan, which once dominated the world and intimidated all the major clans, has fallen to this state. Most of the foundation I built has been squandered, and the descendants of my descendants truly sadden me."

Shenjiao turned around and looked at Diche behind him. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Diche's expression changed drastically. The true dragon bloodline in his body began to boil and run wild, and countless blood lights exploded and shot out around him.

"How dare you! What are you doing?!"

Emperor Che roared in anger, intending to use the secret techniques of the dragon race to get rid of this state. However, he was facing the progenitor of the dragon race. All the secret manuals of the dragon race were created by Shenjiao Shi himself. When Shenjiao Shi revealed his true form, the dragon lord was no longer him.

"Someone like you wouldn't even have the right to appear before me back then. Everything you have was given to you by me. Now, give everything back to me."

Shenjiao's expression was cold. He pressed down with his five fingers, and Diche let out a miserable cry. The vast essence and dragon blood in his body turned into countless torrents and flowed into his body.

The bloodline and origin of a Heavenly Emperor Realm expert caused Shenjiao's aura to expand rapidly. His hunched body instantly became as straight as a mountain, his aged face became as smooth as jade, and his vertical pupils were both bewitching and filled with indescribable majesty.

Clad in golden armor, his long, ink-black hair danced wildly in the air. The rejuvenated Shenjiao clan looked at Taiwei with a chilling smile and let out a long roar. Beneath the sea, all the members of the True Dragon Clan screamed in agony as their life essence and bloodline were completely burned away.

Tens of thousands of true dragon essences and blood flowed into Shenjiao's body. In just a moment, Shenjiao's aura reached the peak of the Heavenly Emperor Realm, surpassing Taiwei.

In the depths of the ocean, the Dragon Palace, which had existed for billions of years, suddenly exploded. Countless precious lights converged and transformed into a gleaming, exquisitely crafted iron needle in the palm of the Divine Reef Clan.

"You've really come well prepared. After billions of years of dormancy, it seems you've perfected your 'Nine Revolutions Dragon Transformation Heavenly Emperor Scripture,' reaching the peak of the Heavenly Emperor Realm. Even at my peak, I was far inferior to your current cultivation level."

Taiwei sensed the vast and boundless essence within Shenjiao's body and spoke expressionlessly, his tone remaining completely unchanged despite Shenjiao's peak Heavenly Emperor realm cultivation.

The True Dragon Clan of the Great Realm of Ochre and Mystery vanished from the annals of history at this moment. The Divine Reef Clan, having gathered the essence and origin of countless True Dragons, possessed a fighting power several times greater than that of the Five Heavenly Emperors of the Second Era.

No wonder Shenjiao knew Taiwei's purpose, yet still dared to appear openly in front of Taiwei.

"The Heavenly Emperor has been asleep for billions of years, unaware of the changes in the world and the alteration of the Heavenly Way. Now is no longer the time for you Heavenly Emperors to change the fate of Heaven with a single word. In the present world, even I dare not say that I can sweep across the world. Heavenly Emperor, you should continue to sleep."

The golden iron needles in Shenjiao's palm clanged, their power, no less than that of the Five Divine Steles, shattering the countless cyan light feathers surrounding Taiwei one after another.

"It seems you've been preparing for this day for a long time."

In Taiwei's eyes, sword energy surged, and the incomparably sharp sword light leveled the thousands of massive waves surging on the sea.

As Shenjiao felt the terror of this wisp of sword light, his expression changed slightly. Compared to the Azure Emperor of the Second Era, the Azure Emperor who had been resurrected now seemed to be somewhat different. The Azure Emperor of the past was most skilled in thunder magic, not swordsmanship.

"The Heavenly Emperor should know my character. I never regret the decisions I make. I know that the Heavenly Emperor will reappear sooner or later, and I have long been prepared to completely kill him."

As the incredibly powerful Shenjiao clan took a step forward, the heavens and the sea seemed to twist and turn in that instant.

With his broad left hand outstretched, Shenjiao struck down with a palm, causing the immense power of the vast ocean to collapse into this palm, churning the seas and creating a storm. Shenjiao brought the bloodline instincts of the true dragon clan to their extreme.

The immense and powerful resentment and spiritual energy combined perfectly with the physical strength of the True Dragon Clan, which was considered the strongest in the world. When Shenjiao Clan unleashed this palm strike, the entire ocean collapsed and shattered in an instant. Even Shenjiao Clan was somewhat shocked by the power of his palm strike.

Having devoured the essence of billions of true dragon bloodlines from the True Dragon Clan, even Shenjiao Shi was not entirely sure just how strong he was at this moment.

However, at this moment, a sword aura suddenly appeared, piercing through the clouds and reaching the heavens. The clear sword light encompassed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of tens of millions of miles. With just one sword strike, it annihilated the extremely powerful palm strike of the Divine Reef Clan. (End of this chapter)
