A vast and ancient phantom emerged from behind Li Ming.
The emanating aura wasn't particularly oppressive, but its air of age and immortality was undeniable.
A simple figure, back to the world, dressed in blue.
That very figure, with its back turned, withstood the overwhelming imperial might without budging an inch.
"The will of the God-King? But that is the will of the Ziwei Emperor. Who can stand against it?"
Many of the prodigies turned pale, and looking at the two illusory figures, they inexplicably felt an urge to run away.
The higher one's cultivation level, the more one can feel that indescribable terror, which even gives rise to an urge to kneel down.
"No...that is, the Azure Emperor!"
From the crowd, an old man with a white beard, whose aura was unfathomable, spoke.
He was a member of an ancient clan and had witnessed the aura of an imperial weapon within his clan before... but the aura of an imperial weapon that had not yet been revived was far less terrifying than this.
In an instant, everyone who witnessed this scene, no matter where they were, was utterly shocked and their minds were shaken by the sight.
Is the Great Emperor resurrected?
Buzz~
Behind Li Ming, it seemed as if a chaotic space had transformed.
Lotus flowers emerged from the chaos, and as far as the eye could see, there were three thousand blooming lotuses.
The myriad paths of heaven and earth responded, thunder rumbled, and the Daoist voice resounded across millions of miles of void.
It would indeed be difficult to resist the Emperor's will with just the Azure Sky Breaking Bow.
Any power below the level of the Great Emperor would be severely weakened upon encountering this mighty will.
Fortunately, the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Seal intervened at the same time, resisting the oppressive force of this will and simultaneously unsealing a dormant power within the Azure Sky Breaking Bow.
"As expected, the Azure Emperor left you a backup plan."
Shangguan Ziwei said in a cold voice.
"However, don't think you're the only one with this level of trump card!"
"The Dao is free and unrestrained; Ziwei descends!"
Shangguan Ziwei lowered his head, holding a golden page in his hands. His eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his neck were visibly bulging.
The moment the gold page was taken out, it attracted everyone's attention.
It has been preserved from the long river of time to this day, and the aura it exudes, solemn and vast, sacred and peaceful, seems to have transcended time and space, conveying endless majesty and power.
The gold paper radiates a dazzling light, as if it were formed by countless stars offering the highest respect to it.
At the same time, a majestic phantom appeared in the world.
"boom!"
A terrifying aura emanated from the paper, surging like ocean waves and sweeping across the heavens and earth. The ancient characters on the paper were barely legible, and only those who had reached a certain level in the Daoist arts could comprehend them.
This kind of aura can only be emitted by figures of the level of ancient emperors!
"What... This is something left behind by the Ziwei Emperor! Could it be a decree personally written by the Emperor?!"
On the Trial Platform, several experts at the Unity Realm stood up in surprise. Their senses were the most acute, and with their higher cultivation levels, they naturally understood certain things better.
"This is definitely the aura of an ancient emperor or supreme being!"
"A powerful cultivator who has achieved the Unity Realm said in a trembling voice."
Many powerful figures also realized that Shangguan Ziwei had probably pulled out all the best tricks she had up her sleeve.
Shangguan Ziwei originally thought that she could summon the Ziwei Sword and connect with the Emperor's will, but she did not expect that Li Ming could even summon the phantom of the Azure Emperor. This was the only way she could use it.
Li Ming couldn't help but feel an immense pressure; his brows furrowed slightly, and his heart pounded like a drum.
This moment.
Boom!
The barrier on the number one arena finally couldn't withstand such a powerful aura and shattered.
This barrier was powerful enough to withstand the peak of the Heaven and Earth Realm, but unfortunately it still couldn't withstand such an exaggerated power.
In a sense, a magical artifact capable of bearing such an imperial aura must be at least a top-grade divine weapon, or even above a quasi-emperor weapon...
Fortunately, the protective formation of the Primordial Divine City directly isolated them. This formation is capable of blocking those at the Unity Realm, so there is no need to worry about the residual power causing damage and affecting others.
"It's unbelievable that both of them possess such immortal-level trump cards..."
Many powerful figures discussed among themselves, their eyes glued to the two on the battlefield. Being able to observe the aura of such an ancient emperor up close would be of great benefit to them.
Even if they can grasp just a sliver of understanding, their level of attainment might loosen.
Meanwhile, deep within the divine city, a solemn expression appeared on the faces of Qi Xiu and the Primordial Heavenly King.
They didn't know whether the power left behind by the Azure Emperor could withstand the power of the Purple Emperor.
After all, he was a terrifying being who was called an emperor in ancient times, who controlled countless stars and was considered the number one person below the Heavenly Emperor.
"Arrows, come!"
Li Ming took a deep breath. Fortunately, he had broken through his realm and caught up in cultivation.
Otherwise, this battle would be in real danger.
After reaching the Martial God realm, he entered a completely new level. His cultivation techniques, physique, and true essence all received tremendous improvements, which allowed him to more freely activate the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Seal and the Azure Heaven Limit-Breaking Bow.
Shangguan Ziwei is indeed extraordinary. Although he is not the reincarnation of the Great Emperor, he must have some kind of connection with the Great Emperor Ziwei. Otherwise, he could not have aroused the Great Emperor's will, let alone master the divine object of the Great Emperor's decree.
Li Ming stood there, his longbow taut to its limit, the invisible arrow condensing into light, pointing towards the heavens.
A phantom appeared behind him, supporting his arm and continuously supplying him with power.
"This arrow of mine originates from the depths of my heart; it can shatter all laws, slay immortals, destroy demons, and defy the heavens!"
Every word echoed in the void like thunder, shaking people's hearts and minds, as if it could tear apart all obstacles and reach the highest heavens.
At this moment, Li Ming's body radiated brilliant light, shining like a great sun in the void.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Countless thoughts cried out, these voices converging into a powerful force that instantly spread throughout the entire world.
This arrow contained all his power, was infused with his Dao, and was further infused with the power of the Azure Heaven God King and the Azure Emperor, forming an unparalleled force.
The bowstring loosened, and a streak of azure light instantly pierced the sky, stretching across thousands of miles, defying the heavens.
This beam of light, like a blue dragon soaring into the sky, tore through space and traversed time, striking the phantom that radiated terrifying imperial might, glowed with purple light, and possessed an aura as vast as a resurrected emperor, at an astonishing speed.
Boom!
The roar was deafening, and the immense, surging power poured out like a waterfall.
It was as if the Milky Way had been severed and poured down, causing the sea of clouds for thousands of miles to dissipate. The violent and turbulent air currents raged between heaven and earth, forming the most terrifying hurricane in the world. It roared like an angry beast, carrying the power to destroy everything, rampaging and roaming, as if it wanted to tear the whole world to pieces.
The purple phantom also radiated endless light.
Two powerful forces were locked in a stalemate in the void, colliding, surging, and eroding each other.
However, at that very moment, the light emanating from Li Ming suddenly became even more dazzling, like a burst of stars.
He took a deep breath, then slowly uttered a single word:
"break!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone seemed to see a towering god-king, his bow drawn as full as a full moon, surrounded by the corpses of countless demons.
A flash of blue light pierced through the void.
It rammed into the purple phantom with even greater ferocity.
At this moment, the purple light phantom began to sway, as if it had been subjected to a great shock.
Finally, with a deafening roar, the purple phantom was completely shattered and vanished into nothingness.
The overwhelming force receded like a raging tide, and the hurricane in the world gradually dissipated.
Li Ming stood there, his figure towering like a mountain, as if he had become the pillar of the entire world.
The shadow that had been hanging over everyone's heads dissipated.
Looking at this scene.
"Is it finally over?"
One of the martial artists stood there dumbfounded for a long time, his clothes soaked with sweat, before he came to his senses and asked.
"It should end now."
Someone was answering him, or perhaps asking themselves, that all of this was too dreamlike.
Nobody expected it.
This epic battle between two prodigies triggered a clash between two ancient emperors from afar.
"Ziwei..."
As the purple phantom dissipated, a sense of sorrow filled the hearts of everyone at Ziwei Academy.
The dean of Ziwei Academy was shaken, and even as a powerful cultivator, he staggered.
"It's over...it's all over."
He murmured, his eyes even becoming moist.
He could sense that Shangguan Ziwei's aura was extremely weak.
Of course, without the protection of the Great Emperor's phantom, it's already a miracle that he's still alive after facing that arrow head-on.
"Even Shangguan Ziwei, who is said to be the reincarnation of Ziwei, couldn't withstand a single arrow from him?"
Among the crowd, one person was completely convinced and shouted loudly, disregarding his status.
A man standing next to him who looked remarkably like him said helplessly:
"I told you to listen to your brother and not to do anything that would get you killed."
"Damn it, bro, how come we were born into such a monster? What's the point of even arguing about this?"
"Sigh, this is nothing. Do you really think being an emperor is so easy?"
A hint of helplessness flashed in the older brother's eyes. We were born of the same parents, so why didn't he inherit my intelligence?
Without a doubt, this battle solidified Li Ming's position.
A group of powerful beings, expending a great deal of precious resources, managed to record this scene using a magical artifact for recording images.
Although it is just a recorded image and cannot be stored in the Great Dao Rules, it is still very precious and rare, allowing others and future generations to know what a true prodigy is.
"It's a pity that Shangguan Ziwei is also an unparalleled genius. In previous eras, even if he didn't achieve Dao, becoming a Quasi-Emperor wouldn't have been difficult."
Many cultivators who cherish talent secretly thought that the Xuanhuang Realm had lost another peerless genius, which was a pity.
"It is both a blessing and a curse that we were born in the same era as him..."
In the past, the talents of these holy sons and divine sons of the great religions and holy sites would have allowed them to easily surpass their contemporaries and grow into pillars of the holy sites, or even protagonists of an era.
Unfortunately, we encountered a golden age comparable to the ancient and medieval periods.
Holy bodies, divine bodies, demonic bodies, monster bodies, and immortal bodies emerge one after another, and successors of ancient forces are born one after another. The successors of the Great Emperor must fight to the death.
These martial gods, who are less than a hundred years old, can only be considered insignificant supporting characters compared to some ancient prodigies.
Fortunately, they witnessed the birth of a groundbreaking genius.
Among those present, many of the most favored daughters of heaven, and even princesses of the imperial family, couldn't help but have a strange look in their eyes, their red lips slightly parted, unable to close.
Especially the princesses of the Primordial Divine Dynasty, a thought struck them: could they whisper in their father's ear and see if it was possible...?
Their faces showed shock, but also admiration.
Men love beautiful women, but beautiful women love heroes just as much.
These extraordinary women, who cultivate martial arts and possess exceptional talent, naturally find it difficult to catch the eye of ordinary, exceptionally gifted men.
However, when a peerless and outstanding figure appears, it is inevitable that a ripple will be created.
This is only natural.
In conclusion, today's battle has brought the Primal Conference to an unprecedented climax.
This is an unprecedented event in the history of the conference, which has never been held before in the past thousand years.
Soon, this battle will surely attract the attention of everyone in the world.
Those who still look down on Li Ming will surely take him very seriously.
It should be noted that the successors of some ancient forces do not really take the Azure Emperor's successor seriously; at most, they are wary of his chaotic body.
The idea of favoring the past over the present is held by most people, even some of the older generation of powerful figures.
It is true that the Azure Emperor was the first emperor in recent times, but many imperial and royal families still firmly believe that their ancestor was the strongest.
After a long while, the wind and clouds dispersed, the sky cleared, and all was quiet.
Only Li Ming and Shangguan Ziwei gazed at each other from afar.
The arena beneath their feet had cracked, revealing a deep fissure.
If it weren't for the protection of the divine city formation, this ancient battle platform, which is a mid-grade divine weapon, would probably have been severely damaged.
"The Purple Star Emperor has not been defeated; it is I who have been defeated, and it is the Xuanhuang Realm that has been defeated..."
After a moment, Shangguan Ziwei said in a hoarse voice:
"Your arrow is capable of destroying everything and shattering the emperor's might; it is truly extraordinary."
"I benefited greatly from this battle."
Li Ming exhaled a breath of stale air.
Emperor Ziwei did not attain enlightenment in the Xuanhuang Realm, and how could Shangguan Ziwei, with only a decree and a cultivation level of the Heaven and Earth Realm, possibly draw upon so much power?
But he was different; he carried with him an imperial weapon and the Azure Sky Breaking Bow, which complemented it perfectly.
Although the Ziwei Sword is extraordinary, Shangguan Ziwei does not practice the way of the sword; he focuses more on comprehending the power of the stars. Moreover, he did not make the Ziwei Sword fully recognize him as its master.
But a battle is a battle, and a loss is a loss.
"One day, the true Ziwei will fight you..."
Shangguan Ziwei closed her eyes and resigned herself to her fate.
...
[Slaying Shangguan Ziwei grants 70 million life energy.]
[Reversal of Fate activated, can seize entries...]
"The Purple Star Imperial Fortune..."
Li Ming chose this entry without hesitation.
The meaning of orange-level fortune is self-evident.
Fortune, to some extent, is also a kind of foundation.
If you encounter a chosen one who seems to be the protagonist and is impossible to kill, it likely means that the other party possesses great fortune and needs to be suppressed with even stronger fortune, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
In the eyes of certain powerful individuals, fortune is also a form of power.
Did the Heavenly Emperor establish the Heavenly Court and create the Heavenly Realm simply to benefit all worlds?
The same applies to the Buddha spreading the Dharma and establishing Vulture Peak.
Gathering the blessings of Heaven, reaping the blessings of all living beings...
Even if it might offend a great emperor who attained enlightenment in ancient times.
But, what's done is done.
What else can we do?
However, even the Purple Star Emperor would probably feel a pang of regret at losing this orange-level fortune.
[Born with Heavenly Mandate] → [Innate Fortune]
[Innate Fortune (Orange)]: [By gathering the fortune of all living beings and condensing innate fortune, you have become a person possessing innate fortune, surpassing even the fortune of a chosen one of the world.]
