Chapter 1987 - Final Peace
On the dam, there was a faint trail of footsteps, extremely eye-grabbing. Even though the steps were faint, they were truly left there. In this place, it was extremely difficult to find other traces!
“This…”
Everyone was stunned.
“Turns out it was like this! Only half immortal emperors could leave behind traces here!”
After a long time, someone muttered this to themself.
Not far away, on the other side of the dam, there was a faint trail of footsteps as well. It was unknown which era it came from. This was previously the focal point of everyone’s discussions.
It also became what generation after generation of people followed. They entered Realm Sea, searching for other traces, heading to the other end of Realm Sea.
In the eyes of cultivators from one great era to the next, that person might be an emperor. Even though there was no proof, everyone attached great importance to him.
“Turns out he was a half immortal emperor!”
Only now did everyone finally understand how powerful the one who left behind the original trail of footsteps was.
When they thought about these things, everyone’s minds couldn’t help but sink. If that creature was a half immortal emperor, did he head into the depths of Realm Sea to quell the chaos?
However, after all these years, darkness storms erupted from time to time, never stopping.
Everyone was horrified. Was even that half immortal emperor left helpless?
“Back then, the one who left behind those traces, could it be that he was killed at the limits of Realm Sea, by the Land of Darkness?!”
This suspicion made many people feel uneasy. A glorious half immortal emperor still couldn’t come out unscathed, was still going to die? They thought of Huang. He went on his way alone, what would the result be like?
At this moment, everyone’s minds were heavy. If not even a half immortal emperor could do anything about the great terror at the limits of Realm Sea, then who in this world could deal with that great disaster?
Even when they searched the endless past, the endless ages, one great era and the next great era passed. Now, there was finally Huang. If even this type of unmatched expert was going to be defeated, then there really wasn’t any hope left.
“Heavenly Emperor Huang, you must stand firm!”
There was an old immortal king who said this. He looked at Realm Sea, this place covered in a hazy expanse, extremely overcast. Shi Hao’s figure had long disappeared.
Their ages were all greater than Shi Hao’s, unknown just how many great eras some of them had lived for, but right now, their faces were still full of a grave attitude. When they said the three words Heavenly Emperor Huang, they were extremely serious, extremely grave.
This was their acknowledgement. Shi Hao had already dominated the world, long becoming unrivaled. His power made all of them overlook his age.
Time slipped away, the years going on.
Several thousand years passed. Immortal Domain was extremely calm, not much happening.
In Realm Sea, the wind and waves weren’t great either. Even though there were kings that returned, there weren’t any great disturbances, everything seemingly waiting in peace.
It was because now, the kings all heard that there was now a half immortal emperor in this world, even Origin Ancient Artifact was opened by him, moreover subdued.
So who dared act randomly?
During this short period of time, they believed that Heavenly Emperor Huang didn’t go far yet, or maybe he didn’t leave at all, waiting for the chaos to start, feeling like a disaster was approaching.
Looking back at the past few hundreds of thousands of years, Huang entered Realm Sea more than once, but always came back. Who could remain certain that he wouldn’t turn back this time?
In this world, how many people dared challenge Huang? They didn’t have this type of qualification at all!
In reality, forget about this great era, even if they looked through past and present, ever since the Age of Emperor Collapse, there had never been anyone who could stand at that peak. He was destined to remain unmatched under the sky!
“Heavenly Emperor Huang, you truly are formidable!”
Someone said with a sigh. Even though many years passed, when the kings mentioned this brilliant youngster, their expressions were still complicated. However, all of them couldn’t help but release an exclaim of praise.
He rose up in a Cultivationless Age, domineeringly rushing into the heavens. There were immortal kings who wished to stop his advance, yet he still made it through, ultimately reaching the greatest peak of cultivation.
“From past until now, how many people could have the title of Emperor?”
When he thought about it closely, there really were a few, but all of them were the most stunning individuals or world shocking giants who had brought back tremendous achievements, founders of cultivation systems.
For example, Immortal Domain’s cultivation system, Burial King system and others. However, what was their conclusion in the end?
“Once an Imperial Court is established, it is like a curse. The glorious peak signifies death calamity, flourishing, and then the perishing of all clans.”
“Bark bark bark…”
A dog was crying out, its size not small. It’s mind was sharp and its gaze was keen.
It was now the size of a calf, square headed and large eared. Its eyes were made of copper, hair and skin dark black, glossy and shining, its figure incredibly robust.
“Why is Immortal Domain in such tatters? It’s so different from before… truly ruthless… the great battles have already reached this extent, too vicious.” This dog muttered.
At his side were a few others, among them a fat daoist with pitch-black hair and a sparkling face, looking rather stout. They were walking around Immortal Domain, looking around.
He was without a doubt Cao Yusheng and that dog was the past little dog.
Back then, they were old and dying, entering their final years, already about to die of age. However, they still went crazy, going all out, white hair scattering as they carried Shi Hao into Burial Earth, crying and howling, pleading the Burial King just to save him.
Later on, they truly couldn’t hold on any longer, choosing the path of undead knights. They buried themselves in All Life Earth, carrying out transformations.
Perhaps they could be considered to have undergone corpse transformations!
There were also a man and a woman who followed behind them, precisely Shenming and Sanzang. It was precisely these two who woke up Cao Yusheng, moreover gave him the memory crystal.
The memories in the crystal made the man and dog recall the past. How could they not be shaken? They previously cried and screamed, but a single slumber lasted a million six hundred thousand years. Who was there left in this world?
Fortunately, they found the Heavenly Horned Ant. He came into Burial Earth to find them and then brought them into Immortal Domain.
The Heavenly Horned Ant’s hair was golden and sparkling. After becoming a powerful being of the Vicious Ten, he continued to cultivate bitterly. He possessed extreme strength, if this was pushed to the limit, his accomplishments would be limitless!
“Huang, Shi Hao, my brother, I still came too late in the end. You… actually already headed on alone. Even if I was just here to see you off, that would have still been good!” Cao Yusheng shouted.
This was especially when they arrived at Imperial Court’s ruins, his eyes became red. There were graves there, one after another, as well as weeds that grew past a person’s height. There were ruined walls and rubble everywhere, endlessly speaking of the bleakness of this place.
He could imagine Shi Hao’s mood back then, taking the title of Imperial Court alone, fighting alone and then heading out alone!
Before Huang left, he definitely turned around, looking in this direction, but he could only firmly continue on his way.
In the end, Cao Yusheng arrived before those ancient tombs, starting to sob.
He sat in front of Tuogu Yulong’s grave, pouring wine in that direction, crying while saying, “Brother, we previously walked side by side in Imperial Pass. Even though back then, my cultivation wasn’t as high as yours, I still dared to head out of the city together with all of you to face the foreign realm’s bastards. However, I am still alive, yet you left a step before me.”
“Great Xu Tuo, baldy, why did you leave as well? My relationship with you wasn’t that close, but I also know that you can be considered a good person, this ending isn’t good at all.” Cao Yusheng wept.
Shenming rolled her eyes. Even though this fatty was brokenhearted, he really didn’t know how to speak properly.
“Lan Xian, you were so beautiful, but you still died. You truly were an unlucky beautiful woman.”
…
After Cao Yusheng stopped crying, he then headed over to those old soldiers and those old generals’ graves. His eyes were red, extremely sad as he said, “There are so many brothers here… we previously drank together… some of you were from Stone Village, some from other places, but you all came up from the lower realm! However, in the end, all of you died… I hope Huang can sweep through the darkness and one day bring back the head of the source of disaster for you all. Old brothers, I wish you all well!”
His eyes were red, the Heavenly Horned Ant starting to feel sad as well. They came from the same age. In the end, just how many of them were still left?
“Huang, thank you!”
Shenming also said quietly, staring into the depths of the void, in Realm Sea’s direction.
Shi Hao killed the owner of that glistening gourd, Ju Chong. This could be considering returning great karma to Burial Earth, eliminating their great enemy.
“We are doing our best to become Burial Kings, we hope that one day, we can fight shoulder to shoulder with you.” Sanzang said.
He knew that this opportunity was distant and far-fetched. If that day truly came, how bad would the situation be? Shi Hao already became a half immortal emperor! Would he still need help?
“Regardless, I am going to do everything I can to try and help you with some things!” Cao Yusheng said.
From that day on, Cao Yusheng, the larger little dog and Heavenly Horned Ant began to build temples in Immortal Domain one after another, inside of them was Shi Hao’s image.
“Brother, I know that you are very strong, but I am still scared that you might… be killed in battle. This is a method we found while searching through burial books, similar to how we gathered will force in the lower realm. I hope it can help you somewhat!”
Temples appeared one after another, all of them consecrating one person -- Heavenly Emperor Huang.
If this was in the past, they would have definitely faced great resistance. They would bring disaster upon themselves.
However, no one in the current Immortal Domain stopped them. The clans all knew about Huang, all chanted his name.
“This is a combination of Burial Technique and Will Force Great Method, there is also some ruined blood you left behind that we preserved. Now, we’ve used all of it.”
“If you fall in battle, we will do a soul summoning. You will definitely return and reappear in this world!”
They were scared, worried that Shi Hao wouldn’t return after leaving. As such, they now used up all of their methods, hoping that one day, they could rescue that strand of ruined soul.
In the depths of Realm Sea, Shi Hao activated a stalk of spiritual root. It was precisely the stalk that contained a share of the ‘Fake Medicine Dealer’, the one known as the first spiritual root.
“Go, you and the other six souls should merge together. I hope you can be powerful enough, that one day, you can have some methods.” Shi Hao said.
The years went on. Time was ruthless.
In the blink of an eye, another two hundred thousand years passed.
Shi Hao continued forward alone. Even though he became a half immortal emperor, he still couldn’t directly cross Realm Sea. This sea was too vast, moreover, normal transport formations couldn’t be used here at all.
There were only some islands where formations could be carved, thus allowing his advance to be faster.
In the past two hundred thousand years, temples were built one after another, becoming more and more grand and divine, gradually starting to release brilliance.
Normally, there were many clans who came to pay their respects, chanting the name Heavenly Emperor Huang.
Even though it had already been many years, they still haven’t heard much about Huang, not knowing how he was doing, many people were still grateful to him.
After all these years, Realm Sea’s winds calmed. Occasionally, when darkness storms erupted, they were torn apart by a mysterious force, yet the returning kings still didn’t dare fight.
Everyone knew that this was because of Huang. He continued on his way through Realm Sea, taking action, leaving all experts under heaven frightened.
Hong!
Waves surged. Shi Hao tore through the waves, advancing.
Along the way, he met some legendary kings who previously left behind great strokes in history, truly meeting them. They were sitting on islands, suddenly opening their eyes.
Shi Hao nodded slightly, not stopping, continuing into the depths of Realm Sea.
Along the way, the kings of legends were all shocked. In the depths of Realm Sea, the greatest darkness storms were currently brewing, the great turmoil was about to start. Meanwhile, this person instead continued on his way alone.
Hong!
In the depths of Realm Sea, darkness power erupted, terrifying and heaven overflowing. It was as if a sea swept out in reverse, heading in this direction.
Peng!
Shi Hao brandished his palm blade, severing this storm, blasting open a path.
An intense weng noise sounded. Suddenly, something that left all of the kings shocked happened.
In the depths of Realm Sea, there were temples that appeared in the void one after another, descending. Every single one of them was connected to divine radiance, just like a path.
However, apart from these palaces, all other places were pitch-black, extremely terrifying, impossible to see through.
“Guidance Ancient Palace has appeared in large amounts, constructing a great path between them!” The kings were all horrified.
Shi Hao’s pupils contracted, but he remained fearless, not hesitating, heading on this path.
Chi!
A streak of light flashed past. Huang disappeared from this place, directly heading into the limits of Realm Sea!
