Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 227 The Realm of Immortal Emperor!

The source of all darkness in "Perfect World" actually originates from the Corpse Immortal Emperor, or rather, from the drop of black blood within the Corpse Immortal Emperor's body.

Long ago, the Corpse Immortal Emperor was also a prodigy, the first powerful being in "Perfect World" to cultivate to the Immortal Emperor realm.

Even above the heavens, a Celestial Emperor-level powerhouse is an invincible force, a supreme expert standing at the pinnacle.

E Tu became wary of the Corpse Immortal Emperor, so when the Corpse Immortal Emperor became an emperor, he secretly plotted against him.

Two powerful Immortal Emperors launched a sneak attack, using the extremely terrifying method of Primordial Black Blood.

The Corpse Immortal Emperor had only just broken through, and his realm had not yet fully stabilized. It was only natural that he was eventually corrupted by darkness.

The Corpse Immortal Emperor was not an evil person in essence. He rose to power during the most powerful and bizarre era and gradually reached the realm of Immortal Emperor.

As the first Immortal Emperor since the beginning of time, the extraordinary talent of the Corpse Immortal Emperor goes without saying. Under his protection, all living beings were able to avoid the invasion of strange forces.

After being invaded by the Primordial Black Blood, in order to prevent darkness from corrupting all living beings, the Corpse Immortal Emperor severed his uncorrupted body and sealed it in the smallest coffin of the Three Incarnations Coffin.

He then severed a portion of his pure primordial spirit and sealed it in a rotten wooden box. After banishing both of them, he bound his corrupted body and primordial spirit with immortal gold chains and fell into a deep slumber.

The Corpse Immortal Emperor was waiting for the day when his divine body would return, but with the methods of the Calamity Earth, the Corpse Immortal Emperor had almost no hope.

However, the fact that the Corpse Immortal Emperor used his physical body to block the hole connecting to the heavens and prevent darkness from encroaching on all the worlds reveals his true character.

Regardless of what kind of person the Corpse Immortal Emperor was in the past, after being invaded by the Primordial Black Blood, he was destined to become the Desolate Heaven Emperor's greatest enemy.

It was all fate. When the Desolate Emperor arrived at the Ultimate Ancient Land, he also brought with him a rotten wooden box that contained part of the pure primordial spirit of the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

When the Corpse Immortal Emperor's primordial spirit and physical body merge back into one, the Corpse Immortal Emperor will once again become an unparalleled powerhouse in the Immortal Emperor realm.

The Desolate Heavenly Emperor was unaware of all this at the time. Taking the Corpse Immortal Emperor as a reference, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor began to create his own unparalleled imperial law.

As time passed, the Desolate Emperor underwent an astonishing transformation after a hundred thousand years of ultimate enlightenment. His strength increased, and his physique evolved once again.

Tens of thousands of years ago, when the Desolate Heavenly Emperor fought against the Feather Emperor, the Hong Emperor, and the Azure Emperor, he underwent a transformation and almost reached the Immortal Emperor realm, but ultimately stopped.

Today, the Desolate Emperor has undergone another transformation, not only touching this threshold more than once, but even crossing it at one point, almost successfully establishing himself.

However, at the critical juncture of the Desolate Heaven Emperor, he withdrew again. If he had forced his way through, he would most likely have died. He was still lacking in experience and far from achieving his goal naturally.

Reaching the Immortal Emperor realm is naturally not easy; the Desolate Heavenly Emperor must first create his own unparalleled imperial techniques.

This unparalleled imperial law is the complete "Great Self-Transformation Law," and this is exactly the moment Jiang Heng has been waiting for.

Over the next tens of thousands of years, Huang Tian's body shone brightly, his aura of the Great Dao surged, and the gates within his body opened, bringing his body as a seed to its ultimate expression.

In the end, the Desolate Emperor transformed into a seed, appearing mysterious and unpredictable from afar.

That is a seed formed by the Great Dao, and inside it is a person who is comprehending the Great Dao and demonstrating his invincible magic.

The aura of an Immortal Emperor is permeating the air! The Desolate Heavenly Emperor has truly taken that step. Although he has not yet broken through, he has already chosen the right path.

Having witnessed the Desolate Emperor create an unparalleled technique, Jiang Heng's eyes were filled with shock, and layers of insights surfaced in his mind.

This is the true source of the "Great Freedom of Others" technique, a peerless technique of the Immortal Emperor, which is now fully revealed to Jiang Heng.

When the Desolate Emperor is about to succeed, he will surely be very shocked, because the invincible technique he has demonstrated is the "Great Freedom Technique of Other Transformation".

Throughout his journey, when facing the Immortal King An Lan at Zizai Imperial Pass, the Desolate Heaven Emperor had been using the "Great Freedom of Other Transformation Technique".

Over the past tens of thousands of years, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor has developed his own Great Dao and deduced the Invincible Law. This is a creation that starts from the very beginning and from the source.

The Great Freedom of Others technique was formed through various transformations and evolutions. In the moment of its success, it was ultimately sublimated. In the end, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor discovered that this was actually a technique he had long ago mastered.

The "Great Freedom of Others" is truly unique. It begins its evolution from the source, then transforms, and finally achieves ultimate sublimation, which is how it succeeds.

The path to creation is like a phoenix rising from the ashes, undergoing a great transformation before revealing its true mysteries. Cultivating such a method is naturally extremely difficult.

This is why, despite his long years of practice, Jiang Heng was never able to cultivate the "Great Self-Transformation Method" to perfection.

But after witnessing the creation of the law by the Desolate Emperor, Jiang Heng truly understood and grasped the essence of the "Great Freedom of Others" technique from its source.

"Once I attained enlightenment, the realm of Immortal Emperor will no longer pose any obstacle for me!" Jiang Heng's face was full of excitement.

At this moment, Jiang Heng also understood his path to becoming an Immortal Emperor, and he knew exactly how to step into that supreme realm.

The Great Freedom of Others was also the foundation for Jiang Heng's ascension to the throne, but Jiang Heng's situation was very different from that of the Desolate Emperor.

The Desolate Emperor created the "Great Freedom of Other Transformation" and continuously transformed and perfected it throughout the endless river of time.

When the "Great Freedom of Others" was perfected, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor stepped into the realm of the Immortal Emperor without any further obstacles.

But those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die! The Great Freedom of Others is the Dao of the Desolate Heaven Emperor, but it is not the Dao of Jiang Heng.

If Jiang Heng were to blindly imitate the Desolate Emperor and try to enter the realm of Immortal Emperors with the "Great Freedom Technique of Other Transformation", he would never succeed in his lifetime.

Only by taking the "Great Self-Transformation Dharma" as the foundation and forging a path entirely of his own can Jiang Heng truly ascend to the supreme realm.

This is like the Desolate Heaven Emperor using the Dao of the Corpse Immortal Emperor as a reference, but only as a reference, not following the old path of the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

In fact, Jiang Heng had already been on the right path, but he hadn't realized it before.

He embodies all the classics and integrates all the doctrines into one! This is the path Jiang Heng once walked, and it is destined to be the right path to reach the highest point.

Although Jiang Heng has not yet broken through, he has already seen the path ahead, and it is only a matter of time before he does.

Moreover, the epic battle between the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the Corpse Heavenly Emperor is coming up, and Jiang Heng's gains from witnessing this battle will certainly be substantial.

Not long after the Desolate Heavenly Emperor successfully created the technique, the Corpse Immortal Emperor, after sensing part of his primordial spirit, also revived.

The Corpse Immortal Emperor raised his hand and summoned the Great Luo Sword Embryo into his grasp. The sword embryo shone brilliantly, its fierce power tearing apart the heavens and earth throughout the ages.

Its terrifying power is extremely strong; all things are born, perish, prosper, and decline because of it, and it has covered the long river of time.

At this moment, the power of the Immortal Emperor was unleashed, vast and unfathomable. This was the first time Jiang Heng had ever felt the power of an Immortal Emperor.

The heavens were opened up, and all realms collapsed. Such terrifying power was indeed beyond the reach of even a quasi-immortal emperor.

Before Jiang Heng's eyes, the scene of heaven and earth opening and closing, and the universe collapsing, was like the endless waves in the boundary sea, rising and falling, so vast that it gave people an unreal feeling.

The power of the Immortal Emperor is supreme and unprecedented, truly affecting all things, all spirits, and all realms.

At this time, the Desolate Emperor had not yet truly broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm; he was still one step short, a crucial step indeed.

But the Desolate Emperor still possessed unparalleled magical powers and earth-shattering combat strength. He fled, vanished into nothingness in the void, walked among the creation of heaven and earth, and stood at the ends of the earth.

The Desolate Emperor radiated boundless light and vanished from his original spot once again, breaking through the void and witnessing eternity. He left this place and appeared at the end of the universe.

Unfortunately, even though the Desolate Heavenly Emperor's combat power was astonishing, he was just one step behind, which made a world of difference, and there was no comparison between the two.

The Desolate Emperor was ultimately struck by the Corpse Immortal Emperor's Great Luo Sword Embryo, torn apart by the Immortal Emperor's aura, making it difficult for him to reassemble his body and primordial spirit.

The Desolate Emperor was completely blasted apart, his body torn to pieces and then exploded, with countless drops of blood scattering in all directions, piercing through the area.

"Boom!"

The blazing light spread, dazzling and powerful. Even a quasi-immortal emperor would be unable to gain a foothold here.

The storm was terrifying; the Desolate Emperor transformed into billions of drops of blood, leaving no trace of his body. He shattered the heavens and vanished completely.

Subsequently, the Corpse Immortal Emperor retrieved the Three Incarnations Coffin, took back the portion of pure flesh preserved within, and truly transformed into a perfect Immortal Emperor.

"So there was another powerful being here. It's a pity you don't belong to this time and space, and you haven't even reached the Emperor Realm!" said the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

At this moment, the Corpse Immortal Emperor's gaze pierced through layers of void and he saw Jiang Heng incredulously. This was the terrifying aspect of the Flawless Immortal Emperor.

It's important to understand that Jiang Heng doesn't belong to this world, much less this time and space. To "Perfect World," Jiang Heng is like an outsider.

It's like two sides of a mirror: Jiang Heng is outside the mirror, while the beings in "Perfect World" that the Corpse Immortal Emperor can control are inside the mirror.

Even a quasi-Immortal Emperor level expert couldn't detect Jiang Heng's existence through layers of space and time, even through a mirror.

That is why Jiang Heng was able to stay by the side of the Desolate Emperor and witness him step by step reach his current level.

Only by traversing the river of time, Ye Tiandi and others who do not belong to this time and space can glimpse a trace of Jiang Heng.

However, even though they were separated by layers of time and space, the flawless Corpse Immortal Emperor was still able to detect Jiang Heng's presence.

The power of the Immortal Emperor has reached an unimaginable level; such a realm represents the pinnacle of the Dao and the end of the path.

In all the myriad realms, the Immortal Emperor represents the highest known realm across all evolutionary paths, the ultimate goal attainable by all evolutionary systems.

"I am just an outsider. I will not interfere in anything, nor can I interfere in anything!" Jiang Heng said with a smile as he looked at the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

"Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to stand here properly!" the Corpse Immortal Emperor said disdainfully.

In Jiang Heng, the Corpse Immortal Emperor saw endless cause and effect, far more terrifying than the cause and effect that overturned the river of time.

Moreover, the Corpse Immortal Emperor could also see that Jiang Heng was completely unable to interfere in the affairs of "Perfect World" and posed no threat to him.

That is why, even though the already intact Corpse Immortal Emperor was incredibly powerful, he did not want to attack Jiang Heng at this moment.

"Hahaha! Your business isn't over yet, so how can you attack me?" Jiang Heng said with a laugh.

"It's not over yet? You mean?" The Corpse Immortal Emperor's expression changed slightly, as if he had realized something.

The Corpse Immortal Emperor was ultimately a supreme expert, having stepped into the realm of Immortal Emperors. After hearing Jiang Heng's words for a moment, he began to deduce and ponder silently.

Soon, the Corpse Immortal Emperor frowned. He discovered that the Desolate Heavenly Emperor had become completely blurred, and everything about him seemed to be shrouded in mystery, making him completely undetectable.

"Where is all that blood? Why has it all disappeared? I can't sense it anymore. Has it all turned to ashes?"

The Corpse Immortal Emperor's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the Desolate Heaven Emperor's physical body transformed into billions of rays of light, shattering the void and disappearing completely.

However, with his Immortal Emperor-level abilities, the Corpse Immortal Emperor was still able to sense something and find traces left behind by the Desolate Heaven Emperor.

But now, everything has turned to ashes, and nothing can be investigated anymore. This situation undoubtedly shows that the situation of the Desolate Emperor was not as he thought at all.

The billions of drops of the Desolate Emperor's essence blood fell into the void, then pierced through heaven and earth, disappeared into the long river of time, and were placed in different times and spaces.

When the Corpse Immortal Emperor attempted to reverse the course of time and kill his youthful body, the Desolate Heaven Emperor realized that this was an extremely terrifying method.

The Desolate Emperor knew that everything depended on himself, and that only he could rewrite his own destiny, so he made his move at that moment.

It was at that time that the Desolate Emperor once again stood in the Immortal Emperor's domain, though for a limited time, he managed to do so briefly.

Then, the Desolate Emperor unleashed his ultimate technique, "Transformation into Freedom" and "Transformation into Eternity," surpassing all previous abilities.

That was a peerless forbidden technique at the Immortal Emperor level, a realm that Jiang Heng had always longed for, and it was finally revealed in the Desolate Heaven Emperor.

Within the ultimate ancient land, the Corpse Immortal Emperor continued his search, a terrifying aura of malevolence emerging, its killing intent startling through the ages.

At that moment, Jiang Heng was also practicing the "Great Freedom of Other Transformation Method". In an instant, Jiang Heng seemed to have traveled through layers of time and space and saw an incredible scene.

At this moment, the long river of time flows on, and traces of blood appear in the upper, middle and lower reaches, manifesting in different times and spaces.

In the era of the Fall of Emperors, a Desolate Heavenly Emperor slowly emerged. He was a drop of blood with his own will. He pondered, he was confused, and he took human form.

Similarly, in each timeline, there is a similar drop of blood, some of which is blood essence, and some are residual blood, all of which are experiencing similar events.

The same applies downstream in the river of time. All of this is the essence and blood of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, scattered into the river of time the moment he was slain by the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

However, those essences and blood, those vital substances, are limited downstream in the river of time and cannot flow endlessly to farther places.

The most precious drop of blood essence, during the era of the fallen emperor, he went through a long period of time and slowly realized that he was cultivating the Great Law of Transformation and Freedom, and unexpectedly came to this life.

"He transforms freely, he transforms eternally!"

As the years passed, the Desolate Emperor moved on, traversing the long river of time. He arrived at the Immortal Ancient Era, and he also went to the lower reaches of the future in the river of time. He even went to the frontier of the Desolate Emperor Pass.

At this moment, Jiang Heng also realized that the Desolate Emperor had created an unparalleled imperial law, which allowed him to transform freely and eternally.

Today, the Desolate Emperor is constantly transforming and perfecting the "Great Freedom of Other Transformation Technique" in the endless river of time.

"I should have realized long ago that the convergence of billions of essences and blood would result in a truly perfect body!" Jiang Heng murmured to himself.

In the primordial world, Jiang Heng had done the same, scattering billions of drops of his own essence into the river of time.

It was precisely because of this that Jiang Heng was able to return to the Dragon-Han Calamity era with just a drop of his essence blood, and even glimpse the true face of the Heavenly Dao.

But that was only a drop of essence blood. Jiang Heng transformed into the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and Emperor Xin, but he was still just one of the billions of his incarnations.

Even so, Jiang Heng had already reached the realm of a Celestial King giant by fusing ten drops of essence blood into one.

Now, Jiang Heng has already stepped into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm. If the billions of essence blood return, Jiang Heng will have a great chance of breaking through the last step.

But as mentioned earlier, before Jiang Heng forged his own path, these were merely external assistances.

Only by creating one's own path and truly establishing one's own system can one achieve the truly perfect and flawless realm of the Immortal Emperor.

In the ultimate ancient land, black mist swirled and surged forth, vast and boundless. The more the Corpse Immortal Emperor searched, the more shocked he became.

A powerful opponent is not scary; what is scary is not being able to find the opponent's trace, and therefore not knowing what kind of transformation the Desolate Emperor is undergoing.

Under Jiang Heng's watchful gaze, the Desolate Emperor drifted through the river of time, from being lost to awakening, and finally pushed the "Great Freedom of Other Transformation" to a perfect level.

Once enlightened, he became free and unfettered, and eternally so. The peerless imperial technique of "Great Freedom Through Other Transformation" was brought to its ultimate expression by the Desolate Heaven Emperor.

In the long river of time, drop after drop of essence blood flowed and gathered together. All of this essence blood belonged to one person, an unparalleled powerhouse.

Finally, with a deafening roar, all the heavens and the myriad realms, the river of time, trembled violently, and all beings in every spacetime were shocked, looking up at the sky in bewilderment.

Outside the ultimate ancient land, countless strands of essence blood flew together and re-condensed, as if they had never left.

An aura belonging to the Immortal Emperor surged forth like a vast ocean, gradually intensifying, and the Corpse Immortal Emperor was instantly terrified.

This is the result of countless trials and tribulations, and after the baptism of the long river of time, the Desolate Emperor has truly reached perfection at this moment.

"The peerless Desolate Emperor!"

He transforms into freedom, he transforms into eternity. The Great Freedom of He Transformation was brought to its ultimate form by the Desolate Heaven Emperor, becoming an unparalleled imperial technique.

Another Immortal Emperor-level powerhouse has been born. The process of breaking through is so mysterious and incredible.

Even Jiang Heng, who also cultivated the "Great Freedom of Other Transformation Technique," could not fully comprehend how the Desolate Heavenly Emperor had broken through.

This is normal. If Jiang Heng could understand the key to this, he would probably have already broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

However, Jiang Heng had already memorized the process of the Desolate Emperor's breakthrough, which would be an invaluable aid to his own breakthrough.

The blood rain shimmered and coalesced, taking shape and forming the true form of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, who stood there as if he had never left.

At this moment, the aura of the Desolate Emperor was terrifying, undergoing a qualitative change compared to before, becoming an unparalleled emperor, no longer a quasi-immortal emperor.

Simply by standing here, the Desolate Emperor could crush all the heavens and the long river of time. Everything was unstable because of his existence, and his physical body could suppress everything.

This is the flawless realm of the Immortal Emperor, the end of all cultivation paths in the myriad realms, representing the ultimate and supreme state.

Although Jiang Heng had never reached the Immortal Emperor realm, he could still see that the Desolate Heaven Emperor was undoubtedly more perfect and powerful than the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

The ensuing battle proved everything; the earth-shattering clash between two flawless emperors ultimately ended in victory for the Desolate Heaven Emperor.

The source of darkness that had plagued Perfect World for countless years was finally quelled by the unparalleled Desolate Emperor at this moment.

But for the Desolate Emperor, this was not the focus of his cultivation path. Above the heavens, there were still more powerful enemies waiting for him.

Above the Immortal Emperor realm lies the Sacrifice Realm, and above that, the Transcendence Realm. What unparalleled realms must those be? They truly inspire longing.

Unfortunately, after the earth-shattering battle between the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the Corpse Immortal Emperor, Jiang Heng's journey in "Perfect World" is also coming to an end.

Even if he were to continue following the Desolate Emperor and witnessing his growth, it would be of little significance to Jiang Heng at this point.

Jiang Heng has not yet found his own path, so he is naturally unable to enter the realm of Immortal Emperor, and the gap between him and the Desolate Heaven Emperor will only widen.

While a higher realm is incredibly tempting, it would be difficult for Jiang Heng, with his current level of cultivation, to comprehend its profound mysteries.

Instead of wasting time here, it would be better to return to the primordial world and slowly comprehend and create one's own Dao and Dharma.

There's nothing we can do about it! Jiang Heng is, after all, a being from the primordial world, and has an unbreakable connection with it.

Only in the primordial world could Jiang Heng truly absorb all the Dao into himself and begin an incredible transformation.

Of course, more importantly, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, who had stepped into the realm of Immortal Emperor, was already able to sense Jiang Heng's presence.

After all, even the Corpse Immortal Emperor could find Jiang Heng's whereabouts, so there's no reason why the current Desolate Heaven Emperor wouldn't be aware of Jiang Heng's existence.

"I never imagined that there would always be a powerful figure by my side witnessing my growth!" Emperor Huangtian said, looking at Jiang Heng.

"You and I don't belong to the same time and space, let alone the same world. I'm just a passerby!" Jiang Heng said.

"An incredible existence! It's hard to imagine what kind of realm it would take to achieve this!" the Desolate Emperor exclaimed.

It's no wonder that the Desolate Emperor was so shocked. Even with his current cultivation level, he still couldn't find anything about Jiang Heng.

Just as Jiang Heng said, he was merely a passerby in this world, leaving no trace whatsoever.

"The myriad realms are vast, but I believe that one day you will reach the supreme realm and witness an even wider sky!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

With the talent of the Desolate Emperor, no one can guarantee how far he can go, but Jiang Heng knows that the Sacrifice Path is probably not the Desolate Emperor's focus.

If they truly traverse all the heavens, the two might one day in the future, in some place, reunite.

"I hope so!"

As soon as the Desolate Emperor finished speaking, Jiang Heng's figure had completely disappeared.
