Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 276 The Old Guys Who Refused to Move

The celestial realm has fallen into temporary chaos.

Some hidden celestial beings were also discovered.

They hurled insults at Meng Yuan, whom they used to know, but this time they turned against him.

Meng Yuan remained expressionless; these were all families of celestial officials.

Some are unlucky; their wives and children are in the heavenly realm.

But times have changed, and the Heavenly Realm has been taken over by the Heavenly Emperor.

If he still doesn't know what's good for him and doesn't produce any results, Meng Yuan is very worried about his future.

He didn't want to die, so he had no choice but to make them suffer. Besides, he was only taking some resources.

As long as these people cooperate obediently, Meng Yuan will not make things difficult for them.

As for the Heavenly Emperor Huangyu, when will he fight back?

Meng Yuan had serious doubts about whether the Heavenly Emperor Huangyu had the ability.

The Four Heavenly Kings are practically the most powerful fighting force in the Heavenly Court.

They couldn't break through the protective immortal light of the Heavenly Emperor. How could the Heavenly Emperor Huangyu possibly reclaim the Heavenly Realm?

Although the heavenly realm was in chaos, most of the people lived peacefully.

It's just that some major powers need to bleed a little.

Liu Wuyou familiarized himself with his new body, while Li Changsheng transformed his own inner strength and studied the dark ancient sword.

Liu Wuyou gave him the immortal sword.

Looking at this pitch-black ancient sword, a madness that could destroy everything surged through my mind.

This is a celestial sword formed from the Great Dao of Destruction!

If an immortal lacks a firm will and sufficient strength, obtaining this immortal sword will lead to their being corrupted by the Great Dao of Destruction, transforming them into a killing machine capable of destroying everything.

Li Changsheng was comprehending the Destruction Immortal Sword and also strengthening his own Destruction Dao.

He remembered that in the myths of his previous life, the Demon Ancestor was born from the Great Dao of Destruction and possessed the God-Slaying Spear and the Twelve-Petaled World-Destroying Black Lotus.

The Destruction Immortal Sword certainly doesn't reach that level; at most, it's just a scrap of the God-Slaying Spear.

Li Changsheng merely used the Destruction Immortal Sword to comprehend the Great Dao of Destruction.

Surrounded by an aura of destruction, Li Changsheng longed to place the Destruction Immortal Sword into the river of time to see if time would annihilate this supreme treasure.

But after thinking about it, I still didn't try it.

  

After all, it was a priceless treasure, and Liu Wuyou's spoils of war. It would be a pity if it were really lost.

Meanwhile, Liu Wuyou had the Great Dao Jade Disc above his head, accelerating his cultivation.

She felt the wonder of the Great Dao Jade Disc and was amazed by Li Changsheng's ideas.

It bears the imprint of countless Great Daos and is a supreme treasure born from the infinite Great Daos.

This Great Dao Jade Disc can be said to be the embodiment of the infinite Great Dao.

If one possessed such a treasure, even a pig could cultivate into an immortal.

It's unclear exactly how far one can progress on the path to immortality.

At least, there's no problem with Daoist immortals!

……

In the starry sky, within the small fairy realm.

Immortal kingdoms stand in numerous places, guarded by celestial soldiers and generals.

The Great Universe Immortal Kingdom welcomed an important guest.

In the back garden.

The Great Universe Immortal Emperor was surrounded by dazzling immortal light, and strange immortal fruits were placed in front of him, each containing abundant immortal power.

A figure clad in a dragon robe walked over, exuding imperial majesty.

"It's truly unexpected that you, my old rival, would ever need my help."

The Great Universe Immortal Emperor's expression changed as he looked at the Imperial Universe Heavenly Emperor: "I heard that something has happened to your Heavenly Court, and that the Heavenly Realm has already fallen?"

"Your information network is quite impressive." Emperor Huangyu said gravely as he sat down.

"Who is it that has the ability to take the Heavenly Realm from you?" the Great Universe Immortal Emperor asked curiously.

"An existence you never want to face," Emperor Huangyu said coldly.

The Great Universe Immortal Emperor smiled faintly: "Oh? There are still beings in this world that I don't want to face?"

"The first Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Heart Emperor!" Emperor Huangyu said in a deep voice.

"Um?"

The Great Yu Immortal Emperor's gaze sharpened: "You mean, the Heavenly Heart Emperor from ancient times, the one followed by the Five Great Sages?"

"Indeed." Emperor Huangyu said heavily, "She has returned. Although it is only a divine soul, it is terrifyingly strong. Even the Four Heavenly Kings, with all their might, could not break through the protective immortal light."

"The Four Heavenly Kings are quite powerful; they couldn't even break through their protective divine light?"

The Great Universe Immortal Emperor frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "So you've run into trouble? Didn't you go and ask those old fogies for help?"

"Please, grant me an ancient sword of destruction, but even that cannot break through the protective immortal light of the Heavenly Heart Emperor."

The Heavenly Emperor Huangyu said indifferently, "The Ancient Sword of Destruction has now fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Heart Emperor."

"Even the old-timers can't do anything?" The Great Yu Immortal Emperor's expression finally changed, and he became serious.

He knew very well how terrifying those old relics were.

The Great Universe Immortal Kingdom also hides several ancient relics, and it is precisely because of them that the Immortal Kingdom is able to maintain stability.

"That old fellow said that your Great Yu Immortal Kingdom has an Earth Emperor Immortal Sword that can suppress and kill the Heavenly Heart Emperor's soul, so he sent me here."

Emperor Huangyu said frankly.

"The Heavenly Heart Emperor's divine soul?" The Great Universe Immortal Emperor frowned deeply. "Unable to break through her protective immortal light, how can the Earth Emperor Immortal Sword possibly harm her?"

"The old man said it was acceptable. The Heavenly Heart Emperor's soul was incomplete and he didn't possess any great supernatural powers."

Emperor Huangyu said, "The reason why Emperor Tianxin is so powerful is entirely because of the chaotic body created for her by the Ancestor of Longevity."

"The Ancestor of Immortality? He's appeared too?" The Great Universe Immortal Emperor's expression was solemn: "If you hadn't brought it up today, I would have almost forgotten about the title of Ancestor of Immortality."

"The Immortal Ancestor need not worry. In order to guide the Heavenly Heart Emperor, he stepped into the River of Time and was worn away by time," said the Heavenly Emperor Huangyu.

"Stepping into the river of time? Guiding the Heavenly Emperor?"

The Great Universe Immortal Emperor's face showed astonishment: "This Longevity Dao Ancestor sacrificed himself for the Heavenly Heart Emperor?"

"The old man guesses that the title of Longevity Ancestor is just a title passed down from generation to generation. Otherwise, how could he have survived to this day?" Emperor Huangyu said.

The Great Universe Immortal Emperor sneered, "Emperor Tianxin, haven't you also lived to this day, and even a wisp of your divine soul has returned?"

Emperor Huangyu was taken aback, then frowned and said, "The Longevity Dao Ancestor couldn't possibly be that powerful. Otherwise, why didn't he appear? His disciples died a terrible death back then!"

"Moreover, the disappearance of the Immortal Dao Ancestor into the river of time was witnessed by countless heavenly soldiers and generals!"

The Great Universe Immortal Emperor nodded slightly, also realizing that he had been overthinking things.

If the Immortal Ancestor were truly that terrifying, he wouldn't have waited until now to appear.

"Now lend me the Earth Emperor Immortal Sword. I will return it to you after I have dealt with Emperor Tianxin," said Emperor Huangyu.

"The Earth Emperor Immortal Sword is the supreme immortal sword of the Great Universe Immortal Kingdom. Emperor Yu, you should know this," the Great Universe Immortal Emperor said calmly.

The Heavenly Emperor Huangyu sneered: "What, you still want to squeeze money out of me at a time like this?"

"Is that not allowed?" the Great Universe Immortal Emperor said indifferently.

"If the Heavenly Emperor knew how Bai Xian'er died, what do you think she would do?" Emperor Huangyu asked coldly.

The Great Yu Immortal Emperor narrowed his eyes: "You won't fare any better! As for me, with the Earth Emperor Immortal Sword in hand, what do I have to fear from the Heavenly Heart Emperor?"

The matter of Bai Xian'er back then has become a top secret, known only to the Heavenly Emperors.

I used to worry that the Daoist Ancestor of Immortality would come knocking on my door.

So many years have passed, and I thought the Ancestor of Immortality had died long ago, but unexpectedly he has reappeared, and the Heavenly Heart Emperor has also returned.

"Only after we defeat the Heavenly Emperor can we rest easy."

The Heavenly Emperor Huangyu said coldly, "If I cannot deal with the Heavenly Heart Emperor, I will definitely make Bai Xian'er's death public. Oh, and also the Azure Heaven Dao Lord!"

Lord of the Azure Heavens!

The Great Universe Immortal Emperor's face trembled as he recalled what had happened back then.

He said coldly, "These things weren't done by me."

"But do you think we can escape these things?" Emperor Huangyu sneered. "Back then, which of your immortal kingdoms didn't benefit from their fall? Now you're asking me for favors?"

If they cannot defeat the Heavenly Emperor, none of them will have a good time.

This immortal realm will eventually return to the hands of the Heavenly Heart Emperor!

The Great Universe Immortal Emperor remained silent for a moment, then said, "Wait for me a moment, I will go and ask the Ancestor."

Emperor Huangyu nodded. The Earth Emperor Immortal Sword was a supreme treasure, and it was necessary to consult those old guys.

He wasn't worried that the old guys wouldn't agree; after all, it was the Heavenly Emperor who had personally issued the decree.

These old guys are more afraid of Emperor Tianxin than they are!

The Great Universe Immortal Emperor arrived inside the palace and sealed it off.

"Ancestor, the Heavenly Emperor Huangyu has come to borrow the Earthly Emperor Immortal Sword to deal with the returning Heavenly Heart Emperor," said the Heavenly Emperor Dayu.

Inside a crystal coffin, an old man lay quietly, receiving endless nourishment from immortal power.

An aged voice came from inside the coffin: "Hmm? The Heavenly Emperor has returned?"

"Yes, the Heavenly Emperor has returned, slain the four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Court, seized the Destruction Immortal Sword, and has now taken over the Heavenly Realm."

The Great Universe Immortal Emperor said, "The Imperial Universe Heavenly Emperor has come to borrow the Earthly Emperor Immortal Sword on the orders of the Heavenly Court Ancestor, saying that the Heavenly Heart Emperor is merely a fragmented divine soul."

"Tianxin wants to return, but her divine soul is indeed incomplete."

The aged voice said, "However, even a fragmented divine soul cannot be dealt with by the Earth Emperor Immortal Sword alone."

"What does the Ancestor mean?" The Great Universe Immortal Emperor's heart trembled. Was the Earth Emperor Immortal Sword alone not enough?

"Offer a blood sacrifice to 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, and have the Heavenly Emperor of the Universe ask this old fellow to take action. Otherwise, we will not lend the Earthly Emperor Immortal Sword," the aged voice said.

The Great Universe Immortal Emperor was slightly taken aback and asked, "Will the ancestors of the Heavenly Court intervene?"

"They have no choice. No one can rest easy if the Heavenly Heart Emperor doesn't die." The aged voice said, "Since we've made our move, we must use overwhelming force to obliterate the Heavenly Heart Emperor's divine soul."

"Yes, disciple understands."

Emperor Da Yu got up and left.

Upon returning to the back garden and meeting Emperor Huangyu, Emperor Dayu Immortal did not conceal anything and relayed the ancestor's words.

"Sacrificing 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals is not difficult, but getting them to act is another matter."

Emperor Huangyu frowned. Those old guys all cherished their power.

They would remain motionless for thousands of years, and would never act unless absolutely necessary.

If they were removed from the coffin to be kept warm, the old folks would suffer greatly.

"This is the Ancestor's will; I am merely relaying it," the Great Yu Immortal Emperor said calmly. "You are just a messenger; they are the ones who are more worried."

Emperor Huangyu nodded and left the Great Yu Immortal Kingdom.

Since this person from the Great Yu Immortal Kingdom has asked the old man to take action, then I will go and convey the message.

He didn't want to take any risks, like using the Earth Emperor Immortal Sword to fight against the Heavenly Heart Emperor. What if the Heavenly Heart Emperor had some other trump cards up his sleeve?

Upon returning to the Heavenly Court, Emperor Huangyu immediately went to the Tianqing Palace.

"Ancestor, the Great Universe Immortal Emperor says he wishes to borrow the Earth Emperor Immortal Sword, but requires the blood sacrifice of 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals. Please lend your aid," said the Great Universe Immortal Emperor.

"Hmm?" The hoarse voice carried a hint of coldness.

Emperor Huangyu said in a deep voice, "This is the will of the Great Yu Immortal Kingdom. They say that since we have made a move, we must use thunderous force to obliterate the divine soul of Emperor Tianxin."

Sure enough, the old man refused!

However, it's no use making things difficult for myself now. This is the old man from the Great Yu Immortal Kingdom's idea, not his.

"You may step back now," the hoarse voice said.

"Yes." Emperor Huangyu respectfully left; these old fellows needed to discuss things.

The gates of Tianqing Palace closed, and a hoarse voice echoed from the darkness: "Who made the move?"

"I was the one who took action last time, now it's your turn." A deep voice rang out.

"My injuries haven't healed yet, I'm afraid I might make a mistake," a cold voice said.

"And you?" the hoarse voice asked.

From the darkness, a cold voice rang out: "My lifespan is the shortest; leaving this place will shorten my lifespan."

The darkness fell silent.

None of the four old men wanted to leave this place or make a move.

After a long silence, a hoarse voice gritted its teeth and said, "As long as Tianxin doesn't give up, none of us will have peace. If she really attacks, none of us will have a good time!"

The three old men remained silent.

A hoarse voice roared in fury: "Do you all want to die? If Heaven falls, we'll all fall too!"

"In that case, why don't we attack together?"

A chilling voice rang out: "Each of us will contribute a portion of our power to one of them. Combine the strength of the four of us, along with the Earth Emperor's Immortal Sword, and the Heavenly Heart Emperor will absolutely be unable to withstand us!"

The cold voice said, "My lifespan is the shortest, so I can borrow your strength, but I absolutely cannot leave this place."

"I've made a move before, but it can't always be me. I'm also willing to borrow help," the deep voice said.

The cold voice said again, "You've been the one contacting Huang Yu all along, so why don't you go instead?"

The hoarse voice paused for a moment, then said, "Fine, but I want to occupy half of the Heavenly Heart Emperor's body."

"At most a third; the rest of the immortal kingdoms won't let this opportunity slip by," the cold voice said.

"They didn't contribute anything, why should we give them anything?" the hoarse voice said coldly.

"Don't forget, that guy is still around. He'll definitely take the most, and the rest will be ours to share," the cold voice said.

The hoarse voice fell silent, thinking of that being.

If that being were to intervene, they should be able to resolve the divine soul of the Heavenly Heart Emperor.

Unfortunately, that being was unwilling to move; how could it possibly be willing to do something that would shorten its lifespan?

Unless, of course, it can be guaranteed that the gains from the act will be enough to compensate for or even extend one's lifespan.

However, there are very few things in the world that can extend their lifespan; they are almost nowhere to be found in the entire starry sky.

There may be other paths to immortality, but they are not ones they can attain.

"One-third it is. Emperor Tianxin's physique is extraordinary this time. Don't be envious!" the hoarse voice said coldly.

"Don't worry, we'll only take our share, we'll never covet yours."

The cold voice said, "Last time he made a move, didn't he also reap the biggest benefits?"

The hoarse voice then stopped talking, saying that the last time the distribution was indeed done according to the rules and there was no trouble.
