Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

Why did Jiang Hao come? Naturally, it was to settle the old score from when the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation attacked him when he was at his weakest during his tribulation.

Deep within the Burial Abyss, several ancient divine thoughts rapidly exchanged ideas in an extremely short time.

"He really came to our door..."

"This aura... A chaotic body becoming an emperor is indeed terrifying."

"How could someone become so much stronger after only a few decades of seclusion? It doesn't make sense!"

"If we had known this would happen, we should have joined forces to kill him completely when he was undergoing his tribulation... In the end, we left behind a future threat."

"What's the point of saying all this now? Judging from his posture, he's not here to talk, he's here to fight."

The brief exchange paused, and a divine thought, seemingly gentle but inherently cold and distant, responded to Jiang Hao:

"The Chaos Emperor has arrived. What explanation does he wish to offer? The Annihilation One, who hindered your path to enlightenment, has already been slain by your own hands. The cause and effect are settled. What else does the Emperor wish to do today?"

Jiang Hao stood in the air, his imperial robes remaining perfectly still amidst the chaotic flow of laws, his voice calm and clear, piercing into the Abyss of Burial Gods:

"Ji Mie is dead, but he came from your Burial Abyss of Gods and was nourished by the Dao essence of this place. He committed a grave karmic offense that hindered my attainment of Dao. You can't absolve yourselves of responsibility. It's not that simple. You must give me an explanation!"

Upon hearing this, the churning starry abyss within the Burial God Abyss suddenly paused.

"Young man!"

Immediately afterwards, another, even more domineering and forceful divine thought resounded like a thunderclap.

"Don't be so arrogant. Do you really think you're invincible? What Jiemie did is his own karma. What does it have to do with our Burial God Abyss? If we weren't focused on the path to immortality and didn't want to waste our energy at this time, you wouldn't have the chance to stand here spouting nonsense!"

"Leave now! He has nothing to do with us. If we are forced to come out at all costs, the world will be turned upside down, the stars will be stained with blood, and countless lives will be lost. Can you, a mere youth who has only recently become emperor, bear the weight of such a colossal sin and the engulfing darkness and chaos that will sweep across the land?"

After listening, Jiang Hao's lips curled into a cold smile, and his eyes swirled with a chaotic energy, as if countless worlds were being created and destroyed within them.

He slowly raised his hand and grasped the ancient and chaotic Heavenly Blade beside him.

"Can I carry it...?"

He repeated it softly, then his voice suddenly turned sharp, "Why don't you come out and try it and you'll see!"

Before he could finish speaking, the knife had already slashed out.

There was no earth-shattering sound, no dazzling light.

Only a hazy, gray blade of light silently slashed towards the churning sea of ​​mist and the faintly visible ancient imperial formation outside the Burial God Abyss.

Where the blade's edge passed, space wasn't torn apart, but rather transformed directly into primordial nothingness; all rules and laws vanished.

"presumptuous!!"

From within the Abyss of Burial Gods, a roar of extreme rage exploded, causing the entire abyssal star sea to boil.

A terrifying hand, as large as stars and mountains, suddenly emerged from the deepest part of the churning sea of ​​fog.

The lines on my palm are like an abyss, each one flowing with an ominous law capable of obliterating everything.

With terrifying power capable of crushing stars, it slammed down on the seemingly unremarkable blade of light.

laugh!

A soft sound, but the scene was horrifying.

The enormous hand, seemingly capable of shattering galaxies, was smoothly sliced ​​in two the instant it touched the hazy, gray blade of light.

At the severed point, the pitch-black death energy and supreme laws struggled frantically to merge back together, but were stopped by the Great Dao laws contained within the blade's light.

The two halves of the hand exploded with a bang, turning into countless blackish-gray specks of light that were swept away by the remaining force of the blade's energy and vanished completely.

The blade's momentum didn't diminish at all, and it struck the great formation that had enveloped the Burial God Abyss for countless millennia.

hum!

The Imperial Array was instantly fully activated, bursting out with a light billions of times more dazzling than the sun. Countless ancient runes, engraved with traces of the Supreme Dao, emerged, collided, and exploded in a frenzy, emitting terrifying wails like the collapse of an ancient divine mountain and the rupture of a galaxy.

The stalemate lasted only a very brief moment before the array patterns, which had been shimmering with an immortal luster, quickly dimmed, disintegrated, and disappeared.

"Snap!"

A clear cracking sound echoed throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness.

The thick fog that enveloped the Abyss of Burial Gods was forcibly cleaved open, creating a massive gap that stretched for tens of thousands of miles.

At the edges, the rules are chaotic, and spacetime is distorted.

Through the gap, one can clearly see the vast abyss of stars inside churning violently due to the damage to the formation.

"roar!"

Deep within the Burial Abyss, several overlapping roars shattered the sky, even turning several small satellites outside the Big Dipper into dust.

"You human brat, you've gone too far! Don't even mention you, even if the Dao Venerable of the mythical era or the Eastern Emperor Taiyi of the primordial era came, they wouldn't dare to bully us like this. Do you really think the Burial Abyss of Gods is a pushover?"

"If you push us too far, even if it means abandoning the path to immortality and paying any price, we will kill you right here. Then you will be the shortest-lived emperor in history, becoming the biggest joke of future generations!"

Accompanied by this roar filled with rage and killing intent, more than ten supreme auras, which even made the Great Dao tremble, erupted one after another in the deepest part of the misty sea, like a world-destroying beast that had been sleeping for countless ages. They soared into the sky!

These auras ranged from icy and deathly still to violent and scorching, and from eerie and unpredictable to powerful enough to make an entire universe tremble.

They merged together, transforming into a tangible pressure that caused the entire eastern wilderness of the Big Dipper to shake violently.

Jiang Hao pointed out, stabilizing Beidou.

He chuckled inwardly as he listened to the words of this supreme being of the forbidden zone.

Only since Dao Zun and Dong Huang are not around can they dare to boast like this.

If Dao Zun and Donghuang Zhen were to come, how could they dare to say such a thing?

Generally speaking, there are two special periods in each era: the beginning of the era and the end of the era.

The first and last person to attain enlightenment in each era are quite special.

For example, the Daoist Venerable and the Underworld Venerable in the mythological era, and the Eastern Emperor and the War Emperor in the ancient era.

They are all extremely powerful among all those who have attained enlightenment.

Among them, Dao Zun and Dong Huang are the most powerful, both with terrifying battle records, dominating an era.

Faced with such a terrifying lineup, Jiang Hao did not panic. Instead, he took a step forward with his sword, aiming the Chaos Heavenly Blade directly at the core area of ​​the dozen or so auras deep in the fog sea.

The voice was calm, yet resolute, reaching the ears of all the powerful figures watching:

"If you've got the guts, come out!"

"Come with me to the ancient battlefield of mythology, and let's fight without holding back!"

"Let all living beings in this world see whether the demonic flames of your Burial God Abyss are more ferocious, or whether this Emperor's Way can suppress the universe."

Without waiting for a reply, he swung his knife again!

The blade's light suddenly transformed, becoming an extremely dazzling beam of light that seemed to condense the light of creation, directly slashing at the most concentrated and core area of ​​the dozen or so auras deep within the sea of ​​mist.
