"The emperor who left his footprints on the boundary sea dike was a quasi-immortal emperor from many eras ago! It's a pity that such an emperor, who cared for all living beings and wanted to solve the dark calamity for all races in the boundary sea, died at the end of the boundary sea. His immortal court also collapsed and disappeared in the ancient era."
Cao Ya sighed inwardly.
At the edge of the Boundary Sea, a Quasi-Immortal Emperor lies dormant, using the myriad worlds as a chessboard to unleash wave after wave of dark calamities.
That quasi-immortal emperor from the era of the fallen emperors wanted to quell the darkness, but ultimately perished.
Moreover, Cao Ya knew that the source of the alien realm, the so-called ancient artifact of origin, was related to the Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor!
To be precise, both the Otherworld and the Burial Domain are creations of Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor artifacts!
This is why, even though his combat strength has clearly improved significantly, he hasn't rushed to make a move.
Now, everything is foolproof!
Even if a Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor were to emerge from the depths of the Boundary Sea, we would have no fear!
Of course, those few quasi-Immortal Emperors, guarding the remains of the Corpse Immortal Emperor and constantly absorbing dark energy in their pursuit of the Immortal Emperor realm, probably have no intention of coming out.
Even the various dark calamities, apart from the passive breathing of the Corpse Immortal Emperor, are inextricably linked to the plans and guidance of these fallen Quasi-Immortal Emperors.
They intend to use this to harvest the civilizations of all the worlds, enrich their foundation, and increase their strength!
As for the casualties among the myriad beings of the Boundary Sea... the entire Boundary Sea was wiped out, leaving only death and silence. But as long as it could allow them to advance one step, it would all be worth it in their eyes!
"But they are not the true source of darkness either; they are merely going with the flow."
"The Corpse Immortal Emperor..."
Cao Ya's mood suddenly became heavy.
This Celestial Emperor is far older than the era of Emperor's Demise, and he has also gone much further on the path of cultivation.
Unfortunately, the day he broke through to the Immortal Emperor realm was also the day he fell and fell into ruin!
Caught in the ominous influence of the strange race, he made various arrangements at the moment of his death to prevent any mishaps... but the true nature of the Immortal Emperor still caused a dark upheaval that affected the entire Boundary Sea!
"Above the heavens, the cycle of reincarnation is endless... I wonder, has the heavens here been extinguished?"
Cao Ya sighed inwardly. In the timeline of the [Sacred Ruins], the Great Realm, which had given birth to many Immortal Emperors, was also invaded by a strange force, completely destroyed, and shrouded in death.
The reason it appears so vibrant and golden is entirely because the surviving Celestial Emperor, with his supreme divine power, reflected the past and wanted to recreate it... This requires the sedimentation of a long period of time!
"It seems unlikely. The heavens are the place where these strange races are currently plotting their exploits. The Boundary Sea region is secondary; otherwise..."
How could a seven-star Immortal Emperor and a strange race be lacking?
There are several people at the advanced level of the Seven Stars Sacrificial Dao Realm!
But Cao Ya can't think that far ahead right now.
While a Quasi-Immortal Emperor might not be qualified to conquer the heavens, he ultimately falls short.
The true Immortal Emperor is the pillar of this bizarre struggle!
Moreover, his primary goal was to cleanse the Boundary Sea, sweep away the darkness, and suppress the unrest.
Heading to the heavens... let's talk about that in the future.
"Boom..." Just then, from beyond the realm, thunder and lightning roared, and countless paths boomed.
Looking over, Cao Ya saw Shi Hao, with his black hair flowing freely, his eyes shining brightly, and his whole body exuding a strong aura of immortality, as if he were immortal.
His aura was even comparable to that of Meng Tianzheng, who was already a supreme immortal king!
At this time, Shi Hao was merely a mortal immortal.
"'Using one's own body as a seed,' Shi Hao succeeded in this path over the past ten thousand years, thus becoming a mortal immortal."
"Unlike the original book, Shi Hao's progress is even faster here."
"His day of becoming king came far too early. Among those of the same level, he has become increasingly powerful due to cultivating many systems and mastering many supernatural abilities!"
Cao Ya thought to himself, feeling quite gratified.
Starting from the Great Wilderness in the lower realm, Shi Hao was practically someone he watched grow up.
With Cao Ya's presence, they swept across the alien realm and suppressed the darkness, and the various sufferings and tragedies of the original timeline did not occur.
Of course, the border wars ten thousand years ago resulted in great sacrifices, which was unavoidable.
"The environment of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is unfavorable; only those of extraordinary talent can transcend tribulations and become immortals!"
"Although each of the immortal masters born in this way is unprecedented, given enough time, breaking through to the realm of kings is a foregone conclusion, and becoming an immortal king giant or an unparalleled giant is inevitable!"
"But if we could return to the environment of the Immortal Ancient Era, it would still be a great event for most people!"
The world is mostly made up of ordinary people.
It's important to understand that in the timeline of "Covering the Sky," how many ancient emperors, sovereigns, and celestial beings have fully completed the path of "using their bodies as seeds" to achieve immortality in the mortal world, comparable to Shi Hao at this moment? There are only a handful of beings, such as the Emperor Venerable, the Undying Heavenly Emperor, the Great Emperor Wushi, the Ruthless Great Emperor, the Ye Heavenly Emperor, and the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable.
However, in the ancient world of immortals, there were already more than ten immortal kings among the immortal figures of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
There are even more True Immortals!
“In prosperous times, it is not impossible to ‘take one’s own life as a seed’.”
“Peerless geniuses will probably try one or two, hoping to become the strongest among their peers... But for ordinary cultivators and common geniuses, the Immortal Ancient Method, the Chaotic Ancient Method, and the Creation World Method are more suitable.”
"At the very least, the possibility of becoming a Supreme Being or a True Immortal has increased by at least several percent!"
"Several paths have been passed down through the ages. Explain the advantages and disadvantages clearly. Each person should choose one path to focus on based on their own circumstances, and the others can be pursued as secondary paths."
"That way, there won't be so many regrets."
The reason why the original Shi Hao became the "Desolate Heaven Emperor" but did not do so is because the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had suffered a great calamity and had been shattered!
He reunited the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, ruling over all ages, isolating them from the strange dangers. —The Immortal Realm and other such places were also protected.
However, before Shi Hao became emperor, the Dark Turmoil had already swept through the Boundary Sea.
Especially later on, the bizarre races fully revived, destroying universe after universe...
The incomplete Heavenly Dao in the era of "Covering the Sky" prevents ascension to the Immortal Realm and makes it even more difficult to support the birth of the Immortal Dao. Even the unique Dao achievers of the Supreme Realm are extremely rare to emerge... This is an unavoidable phenomenon.
However, here, the heavens and the earth have never been subjected to large-scale invasions by foreign lands, darkness, or the bizarre.
Achieving a complete transformation is extremely demanding, but the probability of doing so is certainly possible.
"We must also try to resurrect the deceased ancients... they must be of excellent character!"
Cao Ya secretly thought that figures such as the Ten Ancient Fiends and the King of Immortals were potential candidates.
Of course, this is not easy; it requires a medium.
After all, Cao Ya's combat strength is only at the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, not yet at the level of Seven-Star Immortal Emperor!
He couldn't have accomplished what the Heavenly Emperors did—the deception and creation of a strange world by several Heavenly Emperors, reflecting the past and future, and reviving heroes from all realms and worlds—in the world of [Sacred Ruins].
"Shi Hao, he succeeded!" the Heavenly Horned Ant exclaimed excitedly.
"That's wonderful!" Cao Yusheng, Taiyin Jade Rabbit, and others, who were also at the Escape One Realm and only a stone's throw away from the Supreme Realm, also witnessed the extraordinary phenomenon from beyond the heavens and were all overjoyed.
Meng Tianzheng, Kunpengzi, Qi Daolin, and a group of old supreme beings all laughed.
The king of the original imperial pass also showed joy.
"Boom!" From beyond the realm, Shi Hao let out a long roar, swallowing up all the calamities that had affected the endless starry river.
His physique is tempered and refined, imperishable through countless tribulations, and unparalleled.
The spirit and will are also crystal clear.
As for the energy of laws, it is even more perfectly rounded; a single wisp can pierce through the world.
"Buzz..." A kind of immortal king's true meaning rippled through Shi Hao's body.
That kind of magical aura surpasses that of ordinary Immortal Kings, top-tier Immortal Kings, and giants!
Upon his breakthrough, Shi Hao instantly ascended to become an unparalleled giant!
Shi Hao also had some ideas about breaking through to become an emperor, but he hadn't fully clarified them yet.
Without a doubt, the birth of a new Celestial King has shaken the surrounding worlds!
The fact that the other realm was blocked by the collapsed abyss was another matter, and no one noticed it.
However, the kings of the Immortal Realm immediately sensed it.
"Who...who is this so-called immortal from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths? He actually became a king?"
The kings of the Immortal Realm were astonished. How old was that man named "Shi Hao" who also called himself "Huang"?
Not only did he become an immortal, he actually rose to the rank of Immortal King...
Some kings were happy for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, while others had gloomy faces and felt that the situation was becoming increasingly troublesome!
"Incredibly, even after the Immortal Ancient Era, there were still four Immortal Kings in those desolate Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"
"All the changes began with the rise of Cao Ya, the World Dao Ancestor..."
"Damn it, I didn't pay attention back then, and now I can't even kill the World Dao Ancestor!"
Kings Ao Sheng, Yuan Chu, and Tai Shi deeply regretted their actions.
They were hostile to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The reason they didn't take action during the Chaotic Ancient Era was that they felt this world had fallen into depravity and couldn't even give birth to immortals, so it was nothing to fear and there was no need to care.
Considering his reputation and his close relationship with the Immortal Kings of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he stopped periodically killing the Supreme Beings and Escape One Realm cultivators of this realm!
Now, however, he is filled with extreme regret!
However, the Immortal Realm's Pan Wang, Hunyuan Immortal King, and giant Qi Yu, among others, had the opposite sentiment.
They also dispatched true immortals from within the Daoist lineage, carrying lavish gifts, to descend to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to congratulate the new king!
When the news spread, some kings' messengers detoured through the Boundary Sea to the other realm to inform the Immortal King!
Upon hearing the news, the Immortal Kings were all in an uproar!
"A new king, not only has his time since attaining enlightenment been short, but he is also so powerful..."
The foreign giants, Wu Shang and Qu Zhong, had extremely cold eyes.
Although at the beginning, they also doubted the accuracy of the information about Ao Sheng and other immortal kings.
However, by silently using his profound skills to deduce the secrets of heaven, and because of the deep karmic entanglements between the alien realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he received an affirmative answer from fate.
Instantly, the Immortal Kings were filled with murderous intent!
"Cao Ya, Meng Tianzheng, Shi Hao... and that immortal old man from the Immortal Ancient Era..."
"Four Kings!"
"Hehe, in the ancient times of the Immortal Era, there were kings such as True Dragons, Immortal Kings of No End, Immortal Kings of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Immortal Monk Kings, and Ancestral Sacrificial Spirits in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. There were also nine fierce beasts besides True Dragons, whose combat power was almost comparable to that of Immortal Kings! Ordinary True Immortals were even less worth mentioning!"
"Even so, weren't they still defeated by my realm? If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Tianyuan, which forced us to retreat... Hmph, back then we would have wiped out the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, searched the Eight Desolations and Six Directions, and found the seed to unlock the ancient artifact of my realm's origin!"
"Just wait! That storm in the abyss won't last much longer."
"At that time, the entire world will be a dead end!"
"By the way, we must also send envoys to the Boundary Sea to awaken the slumbering elders of our realm and retrieve the ancient Immortal King!"
"The Immortal Realm, and other great worlds, will probably not stand idly by and watch us destroy the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"
"It's not necessarily because of any deep friendship with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but mainly because of the ancient artifacts that are the origin of my realm, which makes them wary!"
After deliberation, the kings made a decision and began to prepare their troops, ready to march into the heavens and the earth at any moment!
The alien realm, which has flourished for countless eras, is home to numerous immortal kings, immortals, and even supreme beings and those in the realm of humanity, such as the One-Transcending Realm!
Although a number of people perished in that invasion of the Imperial Pass, it was of little consequence to the foreign lands.
Even though the Immortal Kings Anlan and Yutuo were dead, they were still not seriously injured.
Within this foreign land, these two kings can only be considered decent, but not giants!
In a certain region, the Gu tribe, who had fled from the heavens and the earth, lived.
However, unlike some other traitorous tribes, the Gu tribe was acting under orders to infiltrate foreign lands!
Gu Zuye has secretly advanced to the level of Immortal King, and he also causes trouble from time to time, having assassinated three Immortal Kings and diverting the attention of the alien realm!
He learned of the developments in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and while he was happy, he was also worried.
"Even if I'm included, there are only five Celestial Kings... far fewer than the number of kings in the ancient Celestial Empire!"
"To defeat the foreign lands... that's just wishful thinking."
"No! I must warn the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to be on guard. If all else fails, the Four Kings will take them along, bringing their families with them, deep into the Boundary Sea!"
"I also seized the opportunity, took the Gu tribe with me, fled to the foreign land, and joined them!"
"At that time, with the five kings in charge, no matter how dangerous the Boundary Sea is, as long as we avoid perilous and desperate places, we can find a suitable realm to live in after spending tens of thousands or millions of years."
The Gu Ancestor used a backup plan, which was also to detour through the Boundary Sea, making it impossible to pass through the chaotic Heavenly Abyss.
Furthermore, the otherworldly realm has dispatched an Immortal King to keep a close watch on Tianyuan. Even if he were to personally intervene, it's hard to say whether he could completely keep it a secret.
Meanwhile, in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Four Kings received a message from the Ancestor of Crickets and began a discussion.
To avoid leaks, only Cao Ya and the other three participated; the Supreme One did not attend.
"It seems that the retreat plan still needs to be put on the agenda," the king said solemnly.
"We already have many magical treasures in our grotto-heavens, enough to hold countless living beings," Meng Tianzheng said.
“Once we reunite with the Gu Ancestor, the five of us Immortal Kings can have two of us cover the rear, one clear the way, and the remaining two protect the many magical treasures of the grotto-heavens… It should be fine,” Shi Hao pondered.
Whether you're a trailblazer, a rearguard, or a protector of the magical treasures of the cave... the responsibility is immense!
After all, this concerns the life and death of billions of races across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
Each of these magical treasure caves is a small world in itself, comparable to one of the eight realms of the lower world!
The forging of these powerful artifacts involved several of them.
Despite the various defensive measures being in place, they could withstand the attacks of ordinary Celestial Kings.
But in the Boundary Sea... countless Immortal Kings have died there!
To be honest, none of them were confident.
But we had no other choice but to do it this way.
"Need not!"
However, Cao Ya waved his hand, indicating that he had decided to cancel the plan.
With his abilities, there's really no need for him to do this.
They swept across foreign lands without facing any challenges.
"I plan to completely change the world before it descends into chaos!"
"Try to restore it to its appearance from the ancient times!"
"Incidentally, we should also resurrect some ancient people!"
Cao Ya smiled slightly.
"Huh?" Shi Hao, Meng Tianzheng, and Wang Zhe were stunned for a moment.
They wondered if they had misheard!
