The Great Black Hand

However, at the same time, in the vast and boundless dark ancient temple, a corpse bound with chains opened its eyes silently.

That one eye was like an endless abyss, able to devour all souls and lead all living beings into an unpredictable world.

……

When the boatman withdrew his hand from the long river of time, there was no longer nothing there, but a ray of fire burning.

"boom!"

This seemed to have triggered some kind of cause and effect in the dark, causing a backlash to brew. Suddenly, the wind blew up on the long river of time, and endless waves rushed towards the bronze coffin.

Moreover, there is a kind of strange power that is infiltrating and flowing undercurrent in the heavens and over the years, as if a horn has been blown, calling on the peerless masters from the lower reaches of the long river of time to come and settle accounts with those who have disturbed history.

"when!"

The boatman knocked gently on the bronze coffin, making it glow. In an instant, it seemed to have become an utopia isolated from the world, invulnerable to all kinds of attacks and indestructible. Even though the long river of time was extremely violent and boundless, it could not do anything to it.

At the same time, downstream of the long river of time, it was quiet and silent, and no living creature responded to the call!

So, there was a lot of noise but little rain, and after the cause and effect of time had been agitated for a while, it came to nothing.

The faint flame also stabilized and floated above the stone table.

The boatman looked at the scene in a daze, and suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Ugh……"

Jiang Yifei's words came true, which made him feel very tired.

It turns out that spiritual practice is not just about fighting and killing, but also about the ways of the world.

Compared with the tragic consequences he suffered back then, looking at his current calm and composed state, with a great start but a whimper in the end...this person is really enough to make people want to die.

"What a lucky guy..."

It seemed a bit sour, but the boatman was not going to bother with a youngster. He took out a bronze lamp, guided the flame, and turned it into a light, making the bronze coffin bright and adding three points of artistic conception.

The lights are dim, illuminating a piece of heaven and earth in the long river of time, and wandering through the past, present and future with the bronze coffin, accompanying two people, who are drinking wine and talking about heroes there.

"If you keep thinking about it, it will have a response."

Jiang Yifei whispered and smiled, "This way, it's perfect."

"At least it proves that being a good person and letting future generations remember you may be your chance to survive one day."

“Don’t let heroes grieve in vain… Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why people in the world long for reincarnation.”

“Oh…” The boatman sighed inexplicably. He picked up the light and fiddled with the wick. “Although I saved him, I only gave him a chance to live. I can only regard it as reflecting and manifesting a little bit of his residual soul.”

"If he wants to truly recover, he still has a long way to go."

"That's comforting enough, isn't it?" Jiang Yifei said with a smile, "Leave the rest to me. I have my own way to stimulate this remnant soul and bring it to perfection."

His eyes were clear, and the lights were reflected in his eyes.

“I will not let those who carry firewood for the people freeze to death in the wind and snow.”

At this moment, the Demon Ancestor is no longer a demon, but instead looks like a god or a saint.

He sipped his wine and said, "There aren't many true heroes in this world. I'll save as many as I can."

"For example..."

Jiang Yifei lit the lights, causing a ray of light to shine, illuminating a river and the world.

It was an era of the Dharma Ending Age, but the heart and will of one living being transcended.

In an age when there were no immortals in the world, he promised all living beings that he would take them to see the immortals!

He combined nine of the most powerful secret arts in the human realm, and thus created immortal arts.

He also integrated his wisdom, joined hands with an ancient "genius" who had died and lived again, and with the help of the creation of the universe, he finally forged an immortal weapon and created a myth!

Later, he traveled across the mortal world, and with no one to guide him, he lived life after life relying on his own talent, and finally became an immortal in the mortal world!

"What do you think of this one?"

Jiang Yifei asked.

"Although my foundation is shallow and my knowledge is limited, but... it's not bad!"

The boatman became unusually serious.

Suddenly, he seemed to see himself.

If Jiang Yifei knew this, he would probably nod to show his understanding.

——I understand! This is the mutual respect between the final bosses!

The Era of Shrouding the Heavens, the Perfect World, and the Era of Sacred Ruins… known as a trilogy, the era gave birth to three Heavenly Emperors.

There is a positive protagonist, and of course there is also a villain and ultimate boss.

In the latter two, the final bosses are similar, mainly serving as background characters... and in the end, they can all be whitewashed - my original intention was good, but something went wrong later and I had no choice!

Like Brother Di Gu and the owner of the bronze coffin... It's a pity that the Emperor did not have a similar opportunity to clear his name.

Chapter 316: Shame on the heavens, the earth, the ghosts and gods, and then look at the bronze coffin to prove transcendence!

——If God could give me a chance to start over, I would like to be a good person!

This is what the Corpse Emperor and the Bronze Coffin Master said.

They really succeeded!

The only difference is the final boss, the Emperor, who lived in the legends of later generations at the beginning, leaving behind countless achievements and legends, creating immortal arts, refining immortal tools, and opening up the immortal path. Later, he suddenly fell and could never be redeemed again.

This is driving the obsessive compulsive disorder crazy!

Jiang Yifei felt that he should give the Emperor a chance to see if he could save him.

He turned his gaze to the boatman in front of him, thinking that he was the one who could most share common language with the Emperor, so he could start with him.

"He walks on the dividing line between light and darkness. He has made great contributions and also committed great faults in his life. He is the one who opens the way for all eternity, and he is also the one who wants to destroy all living things and destroy the world..."

"And he also has amazing talent. At one stage, he was at the forefront of the path of cultivation. He became an immortal in the mortal world and had the demeanor of a Taoist ancestor."

The Demon Ancestor said, "In fact, he also risked his life for this... He risked everything and sacrificed a powerful ancient artifact."

"What's the point of a strong man swinging his sword at a weak man? It's when he swings his sword at a stronger man that he's considered a hero!"

This is how he evaluated the Emperor, pointing out that he was still worth rescuing.

"Unfortunately, when I came back, I couldn't find any trace of him..."

Jiang Yifei sighed, "We were both in Time and Twilight, but I narrowly escaped death, while he..."

"He's dead, lying on the road." The boatman suddenly said, whispering, "Come and see—"

The boatman gestured, then pushed open the bronze coffin lid beneath the two men, revealing the truth inside.

Inside, there was a charred corpse, filled with an enormous amount of dark matter, but it was blown into dozens or hundreds of pieces.

This corpse was powerful, and the slightest aura it emitted made Jiang Yifei feel uncomfortable.

This discovery shocked the Demon Ancestor.

——That is the aura that surpasses that of the Immortal King!

The Emperor really did it!

He sacrificed an ancient artifact of origin alive, and it seemed that he really kicked open the door to the realm above the Immortal King and saw a higher and more distant scenery!

"But I was just fooling around at that time..."

Jiang Yifei muttered to himself, feeling sincerely that he was worthy of being the initial boss of the trilogy, his talent was comparable to that of the corresponding Three Heavenly Emperors.

"Can this method really work? That's right... Daji... There must be a divine will in all things, right?"

He thought about it and felt that this was unexpected yet reasonable.

The Emperor once wanted to sacrifice the entire nine heavens and ten earths, from heaven and earth to all living beings, and integrate them into his own cauldron to forge the most powerful immortal weapon - no matter whether he was forced to do so or something unexpected happened, he did so.

Similar to him are the Corpse Immortal Emperor and the Bronze Coffin Master. They are both the final bosses and are on a similar path, destroying the world and all living beings!

To put it bluntly, the path of "sacrifice" is blessed by great power and is subtly the main theme of the heavens and the world.

When someone is overcoming difficulties and is forced into a desperate situation, he might as well take a gamble, and perhaps he can really achieve the ultimate sublimation.

Of course, the consequences are bizarre and the consequences are endless.

"He has a good understanding, and he took advantage of the weakest moment of the ancient artifact. He used the bronze coffin as a furnace and risked everything to smelt it and turn it into a driving force for his own evolution."

The boatman said, "He succeeded. In the most brilliant moment, he reached the top and entered a new realm."

"However, the power of darkness is beyond his imagination..." The boatman shook his head, "It would be better if it was really just a quasi-immortal emperor weapon..."

"Unfortunately, no!"

He revealed the root cause of Emperor Zun's failure.

Emperor, he almost succeeded, successfully swallowing an elephant with a snake, but... although he succeeded, he also stepped into a big pit!

Because, although the ancient artifact of origin is only a quasi-immortal emperor weapon, the source of power contained in it belongs to a dark immortal emperor!

"Achieving enlightenment has its own calamities... Every Daoist ancestor who advances will have his own greatest calamity." The boatman said slowly, "Whatever he relies on the most will become his calamity. This is the order of the universe that exists forever."

"This young man used darkness to break through, but darkness is not easy to use... After the breakthrough, disaster struck, and he was unable to resist."

"In the end, he resolutely walked towards death, shattered his soul and body, disintegrated his own Tao and thoughts, and chose to remain in eternal silence, burying the darkness he left behind in the coffin forever."

The boatman felt somewhat inexplicably emotional when he spoke of this.

Wasn't he facing a similar situation back then?

A higher level of darkness enters the body, and it is difficult to control the body, and one is about to fall into darkness.

The Emperor, the Lord of Qingwei Heaven, is the same as he was in the past!

However, things took a turn for the worse here.

He chose the incision, hoping that his condition would improve one day, even if the consequences of the treatment would be borne by the entire sea - absorbing and exhaling endless pure essence, emptying the source of darkness in his body, and pacifying darkness for a lifetime, but in the end he became the source of darkness.

But the Emperor was different. He chose eternal silence here. When he was sure that he was about to lose control, he directed his own destruction and finally buried his remains in the coffin!

"Maybe he's tired."

Jiang Yifei sighed with mixed emotions, "He was once the most powerful person of his time, revered by all living things and prayed for by all spirits... But his life was full of ups and downs, and he walked towards darkness step by step."

"Until I gave him a wake-up call and gave him a chance..."

Once upon a time, the Emperor had no choice.

Later, the Demon Ancestor gave him a chance to be a good person.

The Emperor has done it, go and sacrifice an ancient artifact of origin!

"Perhaps, this is not so bad..."

The Demon Ancestor's eyes flickered and fluctuated. At this moment, many thoughts came to his mind. He rushed forward on a mad and cruel path. If this were to be spread out, it would be enough to scare the world to death.

"The bronze coffin is used to bury the body, one layer at a time, and finally the urn..."

"I don't have the ability to pull this guy out and beat him up now - what the hell is this? Can't he just die cleanly?"

'But I can make a fake one!'

"The current Emperor..."

His eyes became increasingly profound, but his heart was leaping with excitement, and he was eager to try.

"The owner of the bronze coffin was affected by an unknown omen; the emperor was also affected by an unknown omen."

"The owner of the bronze coffin finally lay flat on his back; the emperor is now also lying flat on his back."

'The owner of the bronze coffin once wanted to be a good person; the emperor was also once a good person!'

'According to the cultivation inequality that I, Jiang, created, why can't the Emperor's future be greater than or equal to that of the Copper Coffin Master? ! '

The more Jiang Yifei thought about it, the more he got excited.

Although the Sleeping Dragon has grown up, the Phoenix chick is still young.

It is better to arrange for the Emperor to "debut" when the nine heavens and ten earths are in turmoil, cosplay as the Bronze Coffin Master, walk the Bronze Coffin Master's path, and leave the Bronze Coffin Master with no way to go!

The Demon Ancestor really wanted to make such a pleasant decision.
