The First Emperor of the Primordial Era: Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 39 The Reappearance of the Feathered Warrior

Over the next few hundred years, people continued to challenge Jiang Ling.

They are all true powerhouses, almost all of whom have achieved enlightenment through unconventional means, possessing unparalleled combat strength.

Some of them were so powerful that even Qin Wuxiang and his group couldn't stop them.

Jiang Ling also briefly took action, accepting challenges from several truly amazing prodigies.

In addition, some prodigies who were defeated by Jiang Ling joined the Dao Court.

Not long after the events of the Heavenly Court's ascension to immortality during the mythological era, many people still think only about that matter.

In their view, the Heavenly Court failed entirely because the Celestial Venerable of Immortality had plotted against the Emperor, causing the Heavenly Court's grand plan to send its entire sect to become immortals to fail.

Now, ten thousand years later, a colossal force no less powerful than the ancient Heavenly Court has reappeared in the starry sky, and its founder is a peerless supreme being no less powerful than an emperor.

They did not believe that Jiang Ling's creation of the Dao Court was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. Even if the Dao Court did not announce it to the public, they believed that Jiang Ling must want to emulate the emperors of the mythological era and enter the Immortal Realm.

What is the purpose of cultivation? Isn't it to attain enlightenment and become an immortal?

In this life, Jiang Ling has attained enlightenment, and the Great Dao suppresses the entire universe. No one can defy the heavens, not even them.

Since achieving enlightenment is not an option, why not join the Dao Court and enter the Immortal Realm together?

Perhaps after entering the Immortal Realm, everything will be different; they too can achieve enlightenment and become immortals.

With this goal in mind, all the powerful figures who had reached the quasi-emperor level and could no longer advance joined the Dao Court one after another.

As for whether they could enter the Immortal Realm, or whether the Immortal Realm even existed, they were not worried.

With the example of the ancient Heavenly Court as a precedent, they believe that even if the Dao Court wants to ascend to immortality this time, it will no longer invite the supreme beings from the forbidden zones to come out of seclusion, thus avoiding repeating the same mistakes.

As for whether the Immortal Realm exists? Even though no one has ever entered the Immortal Realm and no one can prove its existence, people at this time still firmly believed that the Immortal Realm was real.

They weren't the only ones with this idea; even the celestial beings of the mythological era firmly believed in the existence of the Immortal Realm.

The most direct evidence is the Kunlun Immortal Bell and the Desolate Tower.

Whether it's the Kunlun lineage that wields the Kunlun Immortal Bell or the organization that owns the Desolate Tower, they are giants in the universe and their lineage has never been broken.

In particular, the organization to which the Desolate Tower belongs is said to be traced back to the Desolate Emperor of the Chaotic Ancient Era.

Throughout the entire mythological era and even to this day, the most widely circulated figures in the world are neither the Nine Heavenly Venerables nor the Heavenly Court of the Emperor.

Rather, it is a celestial court that existed even before the mythological era, founded by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

Too many signs indicate that the Desolate Emperor entered the Immortal Realm and attained immortality.

In addition, there are ancient ruins that have been discovered. All signs indicate that there is a more perfect world outside their world, in which there are a large amount of longevity substances. Even if one does not become an immortal, one can still achieve longevity in that world.

Therefore, no one doubts the existence of the Immortal Realm as long as their strength reaches the Supreme or Quasi-Emperor level.

They firmly believed that the First Emperor and his contemporaries shared the same idea and would inevitably enter the Immortal Realm in the future.

Centuries later, the syllables of numbers composed one tragic song after another in the universe. Now, the Heavenly Heart Imprint has merged with Jiang Ling's Great Dao Imprint.

They wanted to defy the heavens and break through to the supreme realm, but instead turned into blood mist during the heavenly tribulation, causing the world to grieve.

They knew that forcibly breaking through the barrier would likely result in their death, but they were unwilling to give up and still wanted to break into that realm.

"roar!"

On the edge of the universe, someone roared, their divine power shaking heaven and earth, startling the entire universe.

"Who is this?"

"Such power!"

Countless powerful figures gazed at the edge of the universe, where a figure opened his mouth and swallowed the sky full of lightning tribulations, exuding an aura of invincibility.

"Well, yeah, they actually dare to show up again!"

After the lightning was swallowed up, many people saw a figure on the edge of the universe.

The Heavenly Palace, where the ancient primordial star was located, reacted first, releasing several incomparably powerful auras that rushed straight towards the edge of the universe. Even Chuan Ying, the number one divine general, was mobilized.

"Huh!"

"I never imagined he'd end up like that!"

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, Jiang Ling gazed at the edge of the universe and exclaimed in surprise when she saw Yu Zhe, who had disappeared for hundreds of years, reappear.

Hundreds of years have passed, and Yu Zhe's strength has advanced further. Like Chuan Ying, the first divine general of the ancient Heavenly Court, he has squeezed half of his body into the Supreme Realm.

"The last time I underwent tribulation..."

Soon, Jiang Ling realized that when Yu Zhe first tried to compete with him for the tribulation, half of his body had already squeezed in.

However, during that tribulation, he was blocked by Yan Qi and others, and was unable to fully enter the Supreme Realm.

Otherwise, if Jiang Ling hadn't fused with the Heavenly Heart Mark back then, he would have had a very high probability of being able to fuse with the Heavenly Heart Mark and become a Supreme Being.

After failing to overcome his tribulation, Yan Qi and other remnants of the Heavenly Court relentlessly pursued him, preventing him from recovering from his injuries.

After escaping into chaos for hundreds of years, Yu Zhe was finally able to heal his wounds and cultivate in seclusion.

Now that his injuries have fully healed, and he stands with half his body in the Supreme Domain, his combat power is by no means inferior to Chuan Ying's.

Rumble!

Lightning engulfed everything. Chuanying and the others fought their way to the edge of the universe, but stopped in their tracks when they saw the sky filled with lightning tribulation.

Even they need to retreat when faced with the tribulation of attaining enlightenment.

"I'm still not resigned to it, and I want to keep struggling!"

Looking at Yu Zhe undergoing tribulation at the edge of the universe, Jiang Ling said softly.

In this world today, it is impossible for anyone to defy the heavens and break the shackles of heaven and earth, not even half-step supreme beings like Chuan Ying and Yu Zhe.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the Heavenly Heart Mark has merged with the Great Dao Mark he imprinted in the void. Without the strength to defeat him, it is absolutely impossible to break the shackles of heaven and earth.

Yu Zhe didn't want it to end like this either; he was unwilling to accept it.

Sealed from the end of the mythological era until now, it was originally thought to be the beginning of his reign over the world, but someone beat him to it.

Having failed to attain enlightenment, returning to the Immortal Realm was an almost unattainable dream for him.

Should we continue to seal it away, awaiting the arrival of the next great era?

That was his last thought, but now that he still has a chance to defy fate, he naturally doesn't want to let it go.

As for joining the Dao Court, he had considered such an idea, but after learning that many of the remnants of the Heavenly Court had joined the Dao Court and held high positions, he changed his mind.

Joining the Daoist Court and ascending to immortality with Jiang Ling became his final choice.

Moreover, given his actions in assassinating the Emperor during the Mythical Era, joining the Daoist Court was not the best option for him.

Even if Jiang Ling agrees to let him join, the others in the Dao Court will definitely be extremely wary of him.

People will not care about the actions of the Emperor of the Mythical Era; they will only remember that he, a direct descendant of the Heavenly Court who was very likely to become the successor of the Heavenly Court, actually launched a fatal attack when the Emperor was in the most danger.

Rather than joining the Daoist court and being viewed with suspicion, it's better to defy fate and take a gamble yourself.

"kill!"

With the Nine Heavens Tribulation dissipated, Chuan Ying and the others made their move.

Chuan Ying also survived the tribulation and understood that this was the best time to strike, so he attacked without hesitation.

For him, Yu Zhe was his inner demon, one of the three people he most wanted to kill.

The other Heavenly Court officials also took action, even bringing out the Ascension Cauldron, which shows how deep their hatred for Yu Zhe was.

"boom!"

Faced with the siege of the Heavenly Court, Yu Zhe was well prepared this time, directly revealing his true form, which blotted out the sky and sun.

The True Phoenix Claw directly clashed with the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, while the Heavenly Blade swept across the sky, blocking all the attacks launched by Chuan Ying and the others.

In a sense, he could be considered a successor of the Emperor, as he possessed all the various cultivation methods and secret techniques collected by the Heavenly Court.

Furthermore, now that half of his body has entered the Supreme Realm, even if he survives the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, he will not be too weak.

As long as they survive this wave of attacks, Chuanying and the others will be unable to do anything to him.

"kill!"

Yu Zhe, carrying the Heavenly Tribulation of Attainment, directly attacked Chuan Ying and the others.

The best way to avoid being affected by the tribulation is to defeat Chuanying and the others.

Yu Zhe rode the Heavenly Tribulation and charged towards Chuan Ying and the others.
