Chapter 2548 - 2513: Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor of the Undying Forbidden Zone

In the distance, in the place where the Perishing Immortal Realm fell, two Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors coldly watched.

The air was so oppressive it seemed to solidify.

In this world, there existed something extremely heavy. The space pierced by the Eye of Destruction rapidly healed, and layers of chaotic void once again blocked the gaze of the two Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors.

Neither of them was anywhere near their peak state, further suppressed by the times of the Golden Era.

"This is the second time."

"Truly, a fine old thing..."

Jiang Ding murmured to himself.

The first time was before he achieved the Dao, during the battle with the Phoenix True Fairy. At the moment of her death, the essence of her blood and flesh peculiarly disappeared, and this was not in an era where ancient emperors achieved Dao, it was very terrifying, and to this day Jiang Ding has not figured out how the Undying Ancient Emperor accomplished it.

He actually possessed the ability to intervene in the present world in an era devoid of ancient emperors achieving Dao!

And even now, Jiang Ding cannot fully determine the path walked by the Undying Ancient Emperor, only assuming it to be the Netherworld Path, undying.

This ancient emperor was too ancient, too mysterious. No one knows where he came from, in which era he achieved Dao, what he experienced, what he arranged. Even for the Supreme Great Sun Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor, this person was too ancient, all buried in the sands of time, known to none.

"He seems to be an old thing who does not like frontal battles and prefers to harm from the shadows."

Jiang Ding speculated.

Clang!

He drew his sword, the Taiqing Flying Sword was unsheathed, but he didn’t slash towards any enemy, instead, he directly slashed at his own immortal body, his own immortal soul, his own Dao Heart.

As the sword-light in the End of Dharma Path swept across, a terrifying image emerged.

The body of the green-clothed youth was fair and full of vitality, like a Banished Immortal standing between the dust of the world, but amidst the hazy sword-light, his body suddenly changed, the skin turned dark blue, the pupils opened wide in terror, and black blood gushed out, his full head of green hair became filthy, caked, his entire being covered with small black threads that emitted black gas, cutting his skin into small squares.

At this moment, the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor seemed like a corpse-changed fierce ghost suppressed in a coffin!

"When did it happen?"

Jiang Ding’s mouth twitched, a deep dread arose in his heart.

For how many years.

For how many years, it was always he who ambushed others, concealed and arrived at the battlefield, always gaining the upper hand, even though he often did not use this advantage.

Yet unexpectedly, just upon reaching the Golden Era, he was silently ambushed and only discovered it now!

This is a Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor who is extremely adept at concealment and survival!

"This Golden Era, indeed, is full of unmatched talents."

Amidst the flickering black and white light, Jiang Ding revealed a trace of admiration.

Clang!

The sword-light of the Taiqing Flying Sword flickered, with the Sword Intent of Destruction lowly hummed.

Jiang Ding reached out, instantly inserting his hand into his body, pulling out something like a fetus or a seed, this blood and flesh monster having threads of pitch-black threads connecting blocks of skin. As it was forcefully extracted, black lines akin to meridians were forcibly pulled out, bringing with them much blood and flesh.

"Waaa waaa waaa..."

"Uuuh uuuh..."

This ghostly baby-like creature howled miserably, letting out a sharp cry.

"Interesting."

"It’s something on the lines of a curse, life, and netherworld."

Jiang Ding gazed at the ghost baby for a long time, and the Destructive Sword Qi in his hand burst forth, crushing it into pieces, and the black threads also instantly turned to ashes.

Finally, the attack from the Undying Ancient Emperor was eradicated.

This was not easy, the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor paid the price of severe injury, losing at least thirty percent of his foundation, falling behind even further in recovery speed to the Undying Ancient Emperor, seemingly already a foregone conclusion.

The Undying Ancient Emperor achieved his goal.

"If not for environmental factors, I could temporarily make a strategic withdrawal now."

Jiang Ding whispered.

One encounter, immediately weakened by thirty percent, seriously injured, the war machine has vanished, even the Great Sun Sword Dao innate nature would not deliberately aid the enemy before the Undying Ancient Emperor, allowing the opponent’s growth, the Great Sun Swordsmanship in combat is extremely sharp and professional, with an accurate assessment of the enemy’s strength.

Of course, this practical failure can be reasonably explained.

For instance, the Undying Ancient Emperor first removed the marks of time, gaining the upper hand, not due to lack of ability; if both sides were in the same state, it would not be caught this easily.

Or if engaged frontally, the Undying Ancient Emperor is highly likely to retreat, not engage head-on, the intensity of the curse attack would likewise greatly diminish...so on and so forth, all kinds of reasons are indeed factual, extremely reasonable and objective facts.

However, none of these reasons matter at all.

Between the Sword Dao, there is only life and death, only victory and defeat, with no reasoning.

The enemy accomplished it, so they did.

Every Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor is not easy to deal with.

...

Time slowly passed.

Many historical ancient emperors clearly felt that the suppression of heaven and earth on them was weakening. Some ancient emperors could even see the extremely terrifying Immortal Path destiny gathering in certain directions, the flow of Immortal Matter and numerous elite talents substantially influencing the operations of the universe.

In the passage of time, millions of years went by.

Great Sun Forbidden Area.

The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor sat serenely on a hillside, in front of him was a rippling pool, and in the pool, a Twelve Grade Lotus Platform inhaled and exhaled chaos, stirring up stormy spiritual mist and torrents of rules, an unimaginable creation for human life slowly accumulated within.

In the lotus platform, a tender yellow leaf was already visible to the naked eye.

This was the fourth Undying Immortal Elixir of the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor, containing unimaginable creation, any fragment of it could reshape an immortal body for mortal beings, generate divine abilities, and lay a deep and terrifying immortal foundation, taking several steps on the Path of Immortality, the greatest opportunity for mortal beings.

Although such an opportunity is nearly impossible to obtain.

This opportunity has an owner.

"After shedding some marks of time, I recovered some ability to absorb Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi, and the growth of the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Medicine accelerated."

"It still needs... two and a half billion years."

Jiang Ding calculated, his eyes filled with a bit of resignation.

In shallow waters, it is difficult to birth Flood Dragons, and miniature bonsai-like landscapes find it hard to grow into towering trees, the fourth Undying Immortal Elixir is a universal creation, not something that can be cultivated in one place.

Silently contemplating some puzzles, simulating some non-essential experiments of the Eight-character Immortal Scripture under energy-saving conditions, time continued in this way.

Years later, Jiang Ding set his sights on the edge of the Great Sun Forbidden Area.

Destiny, in the eyes of the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor, was as clear as the lines on one’s palm, especially in matters involving one place rather than the entire cosmic destiny.

On the edge of the Great Sun Forbidden Area, a dozen or so cultivators in the Nascent Soul Divinity Transformation Void Refinement Realm cautiously approached here.
