Zhou Bao laughed coldly as he single-handedly took that unremarkable piece of space into his hand and looked at the demonic cultivation clan which was unsuccessfully attacking full on. In a moment, he disappeared into the depths of Azure Spirit Sea.

An incredibly thick Qi of Decay gushed forth violently and after a few seconds, this mighty demonic cultivation could not maintain its actual body anymore. Its enormous figure started to corrode and numerous cracks appeared. It started shrinking slowly and as it did, it transformed into a huge brute. The brute started to age at a remarkable speed and turned into a withered old man. A twinge of fear flitted across his turbid gaze as he stared blankly about him. It was at this moment that he lost his life.

The Deva’s Five Decrepit Phenomena. This powerful figure had reached peak Immortal demonic cultivation and in a short time had experienced the Deva’s Five Decrepit Phenomena. It then died. It had no way of withstanding the Dharma Ending Tribulation and the Five Decrepit Phenomena.

The processes had been accelerated on this demonic cultivation’s body.

“Okay, okay, okay!” the Emperor of Azure Heaven’s spirit repeated in the mysterious spacetime. “I really could not imagine that I have been preparing for so long and made such big arrangements, only for it all to turn into a joke!”

“You have certainly made good arrangements. This spacetime can infinitely increase the strength of your spirit. It is very difficult to come by, but unfortunately, my spirit is not the same as any normal spirit. It is quite unique. Emperor of Azure Heaven, you are not a Celestial Immortal. You could not have known that my spirit has been infused with my physical body; these miscalculations are normal!” Zhou Bao laughed mischievously, his real body entering the mysterious spacetime.

“You’re right. My plans were meticulous, you could even say it was fool proof. No matter what your strength is, all you need to do is to connect your spirit to Azure Heaven and I’ll be able to absorb your Primary Spirit into this spacetime. With my million-year-old arrangement in this spacetime, you could not escape even if you were an Earthly Immortal. It would destroy and engulf your soul and you would become a true Tribulation Taker and cross this Dharma Ending Tribulation to become an Omnipotent Sage. With all my careful planning, I never would have thought that if something unforeseen should happen, the whole thing would be over!” The Emperor’s spirit was expressionless, but from its movements, Zhou Bao could clearly sense a trace of helplessness.

That’s right, it was true helplessness.

A million years of making arrangements and in the end, it had all turned into a joke. An Earthly Immortal Emperor could also be downhearted. What was more, he paid for this joke with this life. Zhou Bao could not let him survive for much longer, even if he existed only spiritually.

“Since primitive times, the Zhuyan bloodline had been eradicated and the Extreme Realm of Force and Vacuum-shattering Way has not really been practiced since the Primordial Origin. The possibility of both residing in one person’s body is extremely small. It is normal that you did not plan for this and you are unlucky to have encountered it!” Zhou Bao smiled. “I’m just wondering how you could have planned for this, a Dharma Ending Tribulation Taker getting your Azure Heaven?

“Does this still need planning? Back then I transformed Azure Heaven and evolved it into a macro world in order to get it to the minimum standard of a macro world, at least at the time of the Dharma Ending Tribulation. The fact is that Azure Heaven is one of the 33 Heavens and has wonderful features. You must know that a guy with such great luck, might not be a Tribulation Taker? “Even though the one who first obtained Azure Heaven was not a Tribulation Taker, the last owner of Azure Heaven was certainly one. That is why I launched an attack. It was not how you imagined. Seeing you practice at the Earthly Immortal rank, I feared I could not contain you. As you know, even though you practice at the Earthly Immortal rank, when your soul entered this part of spacetime, it could not be my opponent. I set the attack time for the start of the Dharma Ending Tribulation and when there was a sign that the tribulation was starting, I was all ready to attack. Unfortunately, although you had obtained Azure Big World, you were not overly reliant on it, which made it difficult for me to understand your true strength. If that weren’t the case, things wouldn’t be as bad as they are now.”

“If this is true, then all I can say is that you’ve been a little negligent. Azure Big World is a good thing, but it’s not as valuable as a Tribulation taker’s trump card. Therefore, Azure Big World might not necessarily have been obtained by a Tribulation Taker; it just happened that way this time, that’s all.”

“Just happened that way?” He chuckled. “If what you say is true and it just happened that way, then I took the wrong course!” The Emperor sighed lightly. Disheartened, his spirit started to collapse.

“Do you want to die? It won’t be that easy!” Zhou Bao laughed wryly, his large hand reaching out for the Emperor of Azure Heaven’s spirit. But he was too late. Even though he ranked among the top ten Earthly Immortals in terms of strength, he was powerless to stop an old school Earthly Immortal who adamantly courted death. As he reached out his hand, the Emperor’s spirit had already dissipated.

The Great Ancient Emperor also commanded proper respect. He couldn’t resign himself to dying at the hands of someone else and he did not want his spirit to be engulfed alive by someone else, either.

Zhou Bao had moved quickly, but it was still too slow. He had only managed to grab the last trace of the Emperor of Azure Heaven’s spirit.

“Oh! That’s… interesting?”

Zhou Bao was quite disappointed and when this trace of the Emperor’s spirit disappeared, he had a strange expression on his face.

“The Emperor of Deities, the one true god of the 3,000 Emperors of the Ways!”

There were no important messages in this divine thought. The Emperor of Azure Heaven was truly old and had practiced since the ancient deities’ era. He was proficient in the writings and knowledge of the era and this knowledge was contained in the divine thought. This knowledge had already been passed through remote antiquity and so it would not be so useful for Zhou Bao if he obtained it. Of course, this was if Zhou Bao did not have the Taiyuan Heaven Way of that era.

At that time in the 33 Heavens Taiyuan Heaven, Zhou Bao had received an Innate Deity skeleton. He used the skull to refine his first fairy weapon and it was the Second Primordial Spirit that his Furnace of Immortality now relied upon. Zhou Bao also obtained a huge amount of Golden Dharma Power, as well as a lot of information he did not understand. This information had always been stored in the depths of his spirit, but he did not know what it represented because he did not understand the writing on the Innate Deity talisman. Today, when he absorbed this piece of the Emperor of the Azure Heaven’s spirit, he received the remote antiquity divine tribes’ writings and knowledge. He could then immediately understand the vast information from the Innate Deity skeleton.

This information did not cover the divine tribes’ cultivation method as he had previously imagined, nor their secret skills. It was just various basic knowledge of the divine tribes and some of their elementary ways of strength. Most importantly, it contained some truths about the Innate Deity and Primordial Demon era universes that had been lost previously.

The Way of the Emperor!

It was the Way of the Emperor of the 3,000 Great Ways which led to the primitive times era ending, as well as the destruction of remote antiquity.

This information revealed to Zhou Bao the lost secrets of remote antiquity, and confirmed for him that the White Jade Sage’s days would soon come to an end. This was because, even if he was the Celestial Immortal you least wanted to provoke, a Celestial Immortal achieving great results practicing the Way of the Emperor needed to be gotten rid of quickly.

Practicing the Way of the Emperor, even in the Celestial Immortal Realm with sage status, it was still impossible to stop the Way of the Emperor from attracting those seeking power. Inevitably every Celestial Immortal will come up against it and would do anything they could to wipe out anyone who was a threat to their dreams of becoming the supreme force of the realm, the sole ruler of the earth and the heavens.

The sole ruler of the earth and the heavens!

This was the ultimate dream of all those practicing the Way of the Emperor; it was the path they would inevitably walk. In primitive times, there were several Way of the Emperor Practitioners who roused the primordial demons, Innate Deities and Primordial Fierce Beasts of that time from their peace. Countless wars ensued, bringing about the end of the primitive times era. In the ancient deities’ period, the Lord of Light practiced the Way of the Emperor, and he basically turned most of the living creatures of the universe into his believers and used this immense power to start attacking other deities. Finally, this developed into the War of Deities, which led to many divine tribes uniting to suppress the Sacred City of Fate’s Lord of Light. The clash of the Three Sacred Cities of remote antiquity caused the ancient deities to fall dormant and the power of all the remote antiquity deities slowly waned. The large families of antiquity times were gradually starting to arise.

But when this Innate Deity was badly injured at the end of the primitive times, he retreated to Taiyuan Heaven. From an outsider’s point of view, the whole ancient deities period rose and fell, but he could not have thought that in the final moments of the ancient deities’ period, the final showdown between the Sacred City of Fate and Sacred City of Termination would happen near Taiyuan Heaven. When both were nearly destroyed, he had been severely injured and did not have the power to stop the destructive force of the two Sacred Cities. Finally, he died and all that was left in Taiyuan Heaven were his skeleton and a small amount of divine thoughts.

“This was the mystery of the disappearance of remote antiquity and primitive times, including the antiquity times, when three huge eras were destroyed in the Way of the Emperor. I don’t know whether, during the Dharma Ending Tribulation, the Way of the Emperor will once again exert its great spiritual power!” Zhou Bao suddenly laughed as he thought about this. During the Necromancer’s Tribulation, Jade Emperor Sage was still not a Celestial Immortal. At that time, he used the Necromancer’s Tribulation to make the leap into the Celestial Immortal Realm. But he had practiced the Celestial Immortal Way for less than a million years and so he paled in comparison to the old-school Celestial Immortals. His Way of the Emperor was inadequate and right when the Dharma Ending Tribulation started, if he could not steal all of the tribulation takers’ luck, it was not certain he would be able to push into a new realm with his Way of the Emperor and contend with the old-school Celestial Immortals. But if he succeeded, he could annihilate them.

“It seems that this Jade Emperor Sage must surely have a very strong trump card if he is so confident to take on so many ancient Celestial Immortals!”
