Chapter 320
Phoenix Rebirth, Reaching Another Level, Three Incarnations of the Heavenly Emperor
An ancient emperor, wielding a halberd, cleaved towards Wang Mingyuan's head.
The imperial laws intertwined on the halberd, enough to shatter galaxies.
Another Celestial Venerable activated his magic technique, transforming into a gigantic ferocious beast that roared and pounced on Wang Mingyuan.
The third supreme being burned his life essence and unleashed his strongest attack, his fist energy like a sea, engulfing heaven and earth.
The fourth and fifth Venerables also made their moves simultaneously, their various laws intertwining to form a net that would trap and kill Wang Mingyuan completely.
Wang Mingyuan's expression remained unchanged, his chaotic energy surged, and the phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared around him.
That is the legacy of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King, containing the supreme mystery of reincarnation.
The illusory image of the Six Paths of Reincarnation rotated, devouring all the attacks from the five supreme beings.
"too weak."
Wang Mingyuan said calmly and threw a punch.
This punch, though simple and unadorned, contained a world-destroying power.
With a single punch, chaotic energy erupted, directly blasting the ancient emperor wielding the halberd away.
His body exploded, royal blood splattered, and the laws of the Dao shattered.
One punch, and a supreme being is killed!
The other four supreme beings were shocked and retreated frantically.
But Wang Mingyuan didn't give them a chance.
His figure flickered like a ghost, chaotic energy surged, and every punch landed squarely.
The second punch shattered the head of a Celestial Venerable.
The third punch pierced through the chest of an ancient emperor.
The fourth punch completely obliterated the primordial spirit of a supreme being.
With the fifth punch, the remaining supreme being was blasted into a bloody mist.
Five fists, five supreme beings who each severed their own flesh, all perished!
This was still Wang Mingyuan consciously controlling, after all, he had to swallow them one by one, they were used to cultivate the Heavenly Man Divine Transformation Scripture, otherwise he would have blown them all up with one punch.
Because every time one is crushed, a yin-yang symbol wraps around it and then engulfs it.
Imperial blood spilled, the laws of the Dao collapsed, and the entire underworld trembled.
King Yama watched all this, his face as pale as paper.
He knew Wang Mingyuan was strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong.
Five supreme beings, five punches, all killed.
What is this concept?
This is true invincibility, true crushing victory.
He was here as if taking a leisurely stroll, and no one could rival him.
On the other side, the battle between Lingbao Tianzun and Yuanshen and Yuangui has also reached a fever pitch.
Four deadly swords swept across the sky, their sword energy crisscrossing, completely suppressing the Source God and Source Ghost.
The Source God was covered in wounds, his divine blood was spilled, and his divine light had dimmed considerably.
The source ghost was in an even more miserable state, with half of its body shattered by sword energy, and its dark aura in complete disarray.
Lingbao Tianzun's killing intent surged like a tide, and he pushed the power of the four killing swords to their limit.
"This sword is for the turmoil you have caused!"
The immortal sword fell, its light like a waterfall, severing the source god's left arm.
"This sword is for all the lives you have killed!"
The immortal sword fell, its light as red as blood, severing the source demon's right leg.
"This sword is for the corpses that were caused by you!"
The Immortal-Trapping Sword and the Immortal-Slaying Sword struck down simultaneously, the two killing swords intersecting to form a cross of sword light, enveloping both the Source God and the Source Ghost at the same time.
The Source God and Source Demon let out a shrill scream as their bodies shattered inch by inch under the sword light.
"Lingbao, you can't kill us! As long as the Underworld exists, we will not perish!"
The Source God roared, burning its life essence in an attempt to retaliate.
But Lingbao Tianzun didn't give him a chance at all.
The four killing swords erupted simultaneously, and the four sword lights merged into one, transforming into a sword light that reached the heavens and the earth, directly cleaving the Origin God and the Origin Ghost in two.
"If the underworld doesn't perish, will you not perish?"
Lingbao Tianzun sneered.
"Then today, the underworld will be destroyed!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the primordial spirits of the Source God and the Source Ghost were shredded by the sword light, completely annihilated in both form and spirit.
The Yin-Yang symbol swept over them, engulfing them completely without leaving a trace.
Wang Mingyuan walked towards Yama, the King of Hell.
Yama, the King of Hell, gripped his spear, his face ashen.
He knew that the situation was hopeless.
The underworld's most powerful forces—the five supreme beings, the Origin God, and the Origin Ghost—were all slain.
He was all alone now.
"Chaos Emperor, you have won."
The King of Hell's voice was bitter.
"But do you think the underworld really ends like this?"
"The Underworld Emperor will return one day, and he will avenge us!"
Wang Mingyuan shook his head.
"The Underworld Emperor? You mean the one who forged the Heaven-Reaching Underworld Treasure?"
King Yama was taken aback.
Wang Mingyuan said calmly, "Didn't you betray him willingly and put yourselves in the spotlight? Now that you've been defeated, you're actually relying on him?"
"Moreover, what does everything that your underworld does have to do with Duan De?"
He created the underworld with the intention of becoming an immortal, not to bring disaster upon the common people.
“You have misinterpreted his teachings and tarnished his reputation; you are the enemies he should kill most.”
King Yama opened his mouth, as if to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.
In fact, what Wang Mingyuan said was basically correct.
Duan De sought immortality, but the methods he left behind became the world's greatest calamity, comparable to the Dark Ages and upheavals.
Wang Mingyuan even suspected that this was precisely why Duan Decai was unable to become an immortal for so long, and that there was some cause and effect involved in the world of "Covering the Sky".
He didn't become an immortal until the post-primordial era, a terrifyingly long time.
However, if it weren't for the turmoil caused by the mythological era, Duan De might have been able to reincarnate quickly and become an immortal after the Emperor.
However, there was no need to say more about this, and Wang Mingyuan didn't want to explain. He threw a punch.
The chaotic energy erupted, directly shattering Yama King and his weapon.
Thus, the underworld was completely destroyed.
Those ghostly soldiers and generals, those spiritually connected corpses, all vanished into thin air under the oppressive power of Wang Mingyuan and Lingbao Tianzun.
The enormous tombs collapsed one by one, the Yellow Springs River flowed backward, and the entire underworld was collapsing.
Wang Mingyuan stood amidst the collapsing underworld, surrounded by chaotic energy, his gaze calm.
Lingbao Tianzun stood beside him, surrounded by four killing swords, their killing intent still lingering.
"ended."
Wang Mingyuan surveyed the surroundings, but Lingbao Tianzun showed no sign of letting the matter rest.
He still held four killing swords to seal off the surroundings, especially fixing a patch of void in the distance.
"There's still one problem that hasn't been solved!"
Lingbao Tianzun spoke these words through gritted teeth, and in the area he had frozen in place, there was a bright yet hazy celestial light. That was the Tongtian Mingbao (Heaven-Reaching Netherworld Treasure).
One of the most important treasures left behind by Duan De, or rather, one of the most important treasures left behind by the Underworld Emperor.
It is a legendary celestial artifact, though he has not actually reached that level yet.
This weapon is extremely terrifying in the outside world, capable of contending with a normal supreme being, but here it can't cause much of a stir.
Wang Mingyuan could have shattered it with a single punch, but he still watched as Lingbao Tianzun gritted his teeth and slashed down with his sword again and again.
Until finally, even this Heavenly Nether Treasure was shattered bit by bit, and the deity inside was pulled out and cleaved apart one sword after another, while the deity continued to roar in anger.
"Who do you think you are? Rising from the dead? You'll just have to follow my path!"
"Stop! Stop! The Underworld Emperor has also been kind to you. Is this how you treat him?"
"Spare me, spare me! I am no longer the Emperor of the Underworld."
I betrayed him back then, and he was the one I beat so badly he miraculously rose from the ashes!
Lingbao Tianzun ignored him and only accelerated his pace, relentlessly hacking and slashing.
Until finally everything vanished, leaving nothing behind.
"ended."
"From this day forward, there will be no more underworld in this world."
Wang Mingyuan gazed at this expanse of sky and earth, while the many people around him also looked at this vast, seemingly lifeless universe.
Those things that once struck fear into people's hearts, those eerie things that once made people tremble with fear, have all vanished into thin air.
Another dark cloud was lifted from the sky.
However, the former location of the underworld can be considered a unique and mysterious place in the world, although it cannot compare to the special place where the ancient star was conceived.
But it is still a supremely wondrous place between heaven and earth, where a corpse that stays for a long time will gradually become spiritual and be reborn.
Of course, new ideas often have little connection with the past, and forcibly preserving them will cause many problems.
Even so, the Underworld has made a long journey on the path to immortality, although it is not quite in line with the current path of the mortal immortals.
However, it does overlap to some extent with the path to immortality during the chaotic ancient period, since the Desolate Heaven Emperor also had the Reincarnation Seal within his body.
Those who reach the level of the Great Emperor will still gain some unique insights by studying this for a long time.
Therefore, Wang Mingyuan had no intention of destroying this place.
Even if all the people are killed, the environment can still be preserved.
In the chaotic ancient era, and even the immortal ancient era, there was a burial ground that was in no way inferior to the immortal realm and the primordial ancient world.
This road has many similarities to the one from back then; it's worthwhile to take a closer look at it.
The news of the destruction of the underworld quickly spread throughout the entire universe.
Countless people were shocked and cheered.
"The Underworld is destroyed! The Chaos Emperor has destroyed the Underworld!"
"Those damned strange corpses, those damned ghost soldiers, have finally all disappeared!"
"From now on, there will be no need to worry about being robbed of your body in the underworld after death!"
"We no longer have to worry about our ancestors' graves being robbed!"
The whole clan rejoices; all clans share in the joy.
It can be said that the things done by the underworld are too numerous to list.
Wang Mingyuan, on the other hand, returned to the ancient star of creation.
He sat cross-legged in the deepest part of the ancient star, surrounded by chaotic energy, silently digesting the gains from this battle.
In the underworld, he devoured the essence and blood of the five supreme beings who had severed themselves.
Their principles, their origins, everything about them, were all refined and integrated into Wang Mingyuan's own being.
And it wasn't just these; Origin Gods, Origin Ghosts, and even Heavenly Nether Treasures were all refined by Wang Mingyuan.
At this moment, the energy and power accumulated within the body have reached an extremely exaggerated level.
Normally, for ordinary ancient emperors and grand halls, accumulating these things at this stage wouldn't be of much use.
After all, once you reach the Great Emperor realm, there's basically no room for further advancement, so accumulating treasures is useless.
But for Wang Mingyuan, there was one path he could take.
"Others don't know which way to go because they don't know where the road ahead lies."
Even someone as talented and charismatic as the Ruthless Great Emperor has only reached his fifth incarnation, undergoing four Nirvanas, and nearly failed and died on one of those Nirvanas processes.
This round of rebirth is also fraught with difficulties, and his later years are uncertain, with his consciousness unclear.
But for me, the path is clear and definite.
Wang Mingyuan knew not only the future development of this world, but also the steps to achieve immortality through nine lifetimes of Nirvana, and had many other references.
The rebirth processes of God King Jiang Taixu, Ruthless Emperor, and the future Ye Fan are all briefly recorded.
If that's all there is to it, it's clear to an emperor that there's a path ahead, but walking that path will still be bumpy and risky.
If things don't go smoothly, there's a good chance that something will go wrong, just like what happened to the Ruthless Emperor.
If something serious goes wrong, he might die on the spot, just like Lingbao Tianzun.
However, Wang Mingyuan also possesses the memories of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, and even has mastered techniques such as the True Phoenix Treasure Technique and the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.
Therefore, he possesses both top-level theoretical knowledge and corresponding insights.
With the insight of a Celestial King, taking this path is certainly fast and stable, and one can even calmly choose and complete one rebirth after another.
"My current foundation isn't enough to go directly to becoming a Battle Immortal, since I can be considered a second-generation Heavenly Emperor."
He comprehended the Chaos Body, and then severed its origin.
This stage is already extremely powerful, roughly equivalent to three to four rebirths for an ordinary Great Emperor...
But then again, which ordinary emperor could easily reach the third or fourth nirvana?
Those who can truly take this step are all unparalleled geniuses, therefore such a comparison is not appropriate!
Wang Mingyuan's evaluation was not as high as it used to be, nor did he care too much about it, because such evaluations would distort a person's efforts.
For others, achieving Nirvana is incredibly difficult and dangerous, but for him, it is much simpler and easier.
He even let his thoughts wander freely.
Then, clumps of vital energy entered his body.
Beside him, bright flames burned and boiled.
That was the method and transformation of Nirvana that Wang Mingyuan himself chose, using the True Phoenix Treasure Technique to complete a Nirvana for himself.
The Desolate Emperor walked this path, and the Undying Emperor is also suspected of walking this path.
Even the direction the Immortal Emperor was heading was very similar to Wang Mingyuan's.
The Immortal Emperor was also reborn by bathing in the essence and blood of emperors and ancient emperors. Wang Mingyuan is similar now, but he uses it more often and more aggressively.
He used the essence and blood of more than ten ancient emperors and great emperors to undergo nirvana at once. At the same time, the mature fruits of immortal elixirs were piled up here.
Moreover, there are grand formations and battle arrays around it, which help the flames burn.
As flesh and blood wither, the primordial spirit undergoes a transformation, as if a layer of dead skin is shed and a new primordial spirit emerges from the old one.
This most astonishing transformation, capable of shaking the world, happened silently and without attracting attention.
However, even now, it has not been more than a thousand years since Wang Mingyuan became emperor.
He can be said to be far ahead of many people.
Looking ahead, there will be no such person, and looking back, there will be no one similar to him.
It can only be said that the cultivation level that ordinary people can achieve through their own hard work and painstaking cultivation is superficial and unsustainable.
And it was through his unparalleled talent and a tiny bit of guidance from the system that he forged an incredibly solid foundation, making him extraordinary in the world! (End of Chapter)
