Chapter 2488 - 2455: Fifty-Four Emperors of Ten Million Years

Time Rift · Period of Warlord Conflict during the Third Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty.

This is an extremely chaotic period in history, where each Star Domain is governed by different army groups of the Supreme Great Sun Sword Cultivators. The Magic Cultivation and Tushan Maid are in decline, and the Xianmen Sect has suffered an unprecedented and brutal defeat, licking its wounds, unable to advance north and influence the Star Domain.

During this period, the regime changes of the Ziwei Tianji were extremely frequent, historically known as ’Fifty-Four Emperors over Ten million years’.

In just ten million years, there were fifty-four Sword Dao Emperor Realm Cultivator Commanders who entered the Ziwei Tianji, declaring themselves ’Ancient Emperors’, yet they were quickly defeated by other Sword Cultivator warlords, resulting in their death and clan annihilation.

In academia, these fifty-four Sword Emperors who self-proclaimed as Ancient Emperors are not recognized as such, collectively called the Fifty-Four Emperors.

Interestingly, though no overly powerful ruler emerged to unite the world during this period, the quality and quantity of Sword Dao Emperor Realm Cultivators far surpassed that of any other era, even exceeding the Ancient Emperor Era. The birth and death of Sword Dao Emperor Realm Cultivators were equally astonishing; as one died, another was born, resulting in fifty-four individuals claiming the title of emperor over ten million years.

The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor’s generous legacy within the Endless Starry Sky was recklessly squandered by these Supreme Great Sun Sword Cultivators, who did not consider production and the future, engaging only in sword fights, battles, and killings. Entering the Ziwei Tianji was the highest ambition of Sword Cultivators in this era, driving them past the point of life or death.

When dull escape lights appeared high in the Endless Starry Sky, falling toward the Human World, all the Supreme Great Sun Sword Cultivators of the Endless Starry Sky suddenly looked toward the sky!

"These!"

"These beings! From..."

Numerous sword cultivators temporarily ceased their cultivation, sword fights, and battles.

This was the late ’Fifty-Four Emperors over Ten Million years’ era, during which the ruler of the Ziwei Tianji was the Heavenly Zither Sword Emperor. Naturally, she called herself the Heavenly Zither Ancient Emperor, for this period’s military tradition dictated that if a Sword Emperor entering the Ziwei Tianji did not dare proclaim themselves Ancient Emperor, they would face disdain from numerous subordinates who considered this weakness a prime opportunity for rebellion and treason.

Critically, these subordinates truly had the capacity to threaten the Sword Emperor entering Ziwei Tianji!

"Present world!"

"These beings are from the present world!"

"Could it be that we have already become history?"

The Heavenly Zither Sword Emperor exclaimed.

At this moment, she was commanding the Empire’s Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao Soldiers to sweep across the vicinity of the Vermilion Bird Star Realm.

As for the target of the sweep, it was naturally the newly emerged Great Sun Sword Immortal.

The Supreme Great Sun Sword Cultivator military merit group in the Endless Starry Sky possessed unprecedentedly unified intentions, extremely cohesive, keen to slay the era’s Great Sun Swordsman, reluctant to have another Monarch reign above them. Decades ago, the Heavenly Zither Sword Emperor had already successfully pinpointed the whereabouts of the Great Sun Swordsman.

She was advancing methodically, gradually narrowing the scope.

She was absolutely confident the Great Sun Swordsman was hidden within the starry sky spanning a million light-years. She had been strategizing for this day since her ascension, pursuing for a full 890,000 years, before solidly pinpointing the Great Sun Swordsman’s location. Within up to another 10,000 years, she was confident to once again find the Great Sun Swordsman.

At that time, she could slay the Great Sun Swordsman!

This would be the first time the Supreme Great Sun Sword Cultivator in history slayed the Great Sun Swordsman!

This is the Supreme sacred Daoist transmission of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion’s Great Sun Daoist heritage!

At that time, she, the Heavenly Zither Sword Emperor, would become the Great Sun Swordsman, truly ruling the Endless Starry Sky, establishing her Empire firmly, no longer rising and falling.

"It’s a pity,"

"Why precisely at this moment?"

The Heavenly Zither Sword Emperor sighed softly.

She knew that the capture of the Great Sun Swordsman had completely failed at this moment.

Just then, the celestial Tianji of the Endless Starry Sky suddenly added nineteen colossal variables, causing the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Talisman to violently fluctuate. The Tianji Cause and Effect lock difficulty soared, while the Great Sun Swordsman’s expertise in escape, with mastery of the Great Sun Immortal Sword Scripture, was undeniable.

"Nineteen True Immortals..."

"The royal chance for future emperors, how many True Immortals are passionate about this?"

The Heavenly Zither Sword Emperor gazed into the starry sky, observing those bright lights appear and vanish, smiling coldly: "Since you disrupted my Imperial opportunity, then you will become my opportunity."

As the Empire established by the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor decayed and crumbled, its resulting nourishment was astonishing. Often, emperors born after the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor were exceedingly powerful, sometimes even surpassing the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor’s potentials. If a True Immortal bearing the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor’s form appeared in this era, his path of Dao would be much easier.

...

Many True Immortals entering the Time Rift turned their eyes cold, calculating the specific time of this Time Rift using their original Ancient Talismans, while recalling the human race history collected from the starry sky.

"The Fifty-Four Emperors, during the Heavenly Zither Sword Emperor’s reign!"

The Sea-covering True Dragon Son coldly spoke.

His Realm was Supreme, and this Time Rift allowed Supremes to enter, a fact long known to many True Immortals through various means.

As the True Immortals entered, numerous Endless Starry Sky powerhouses also entered, mostly Supremes from various races and Immortal Sects, including Taoist disciples, and even Heavenly Human Unity Cultivators. Among them, human race powerhouses comprised at least eighty percent, all with profound foundations, and began actively gathering, forming regiments, army groups, etc., immediately upon entering this Time Rift.

These are the ants within the Endless Starry Sky.

Yet, when these ants began to gather, a terrifyingly dreadful aura emerged, causing True Immortals to sense danger.

Destiny and Cause and Effect warned Divine Souls exceedingly sensitive in True Immortals!

It’s not the present, but in the future, when these human race powerhouses gather en masse, they will establish tightly organized structures, highly efficient army formations, and each human race powerhouse nurtured from childhood with extreme military formation skills. Everything operates like precise gears.

These human race powerhouses prepared for the emperor reign era for twenty million years! Trained for twenty million years throughout generations!

"These human race ants..."

The Sea-covering True Dragon Son’s killing intent grew increasingly fervent.

Clang!

At this moment, a clear and resonant sound of sword clang echoed from Ziwei Tianji across the Endless Starry Sky.

Instantly, an incredibly terrifying aura of Cause and Effect connected to all present world True Immortals, causing them to turn abruptly, looking towards Ziwei Tianji, where a subtle line seemed to appear, linking their Divine Souls, connecting their destiny, unbreakable and chaotic, impossible to remove.

A catastrophic disaster warning appeared in the heart of every present world True Immortal.

This was the True Immortal original Ancient Talisman Great Array constructed during the Heavenly Zither Sword Emperor’s reign in the Third Immortal Dynasty, utilizing the entire Empire to capture the Great Sun Sword Immortal!

And now, all current world True Immortals were sharing in its effect.
