265: Section 265

Buzz!!!

Under the gaze of many powerful existences.

A vast and boundless Road appeared in the void, dazzling and awe-inspiring, with countless skeletons paving the ground and myriad common people prostrating.

The First Emperor summoned the Emperors Road!!

The brilliance above the Mandate of Heaven became even more dazzling, but as the First Emperor approached.

Streaks of bloody color appeared on that brilliance.

Ominous, bizarre, disaster!!

Unimaginable calamities were contained within it.

This almost tangible Karmic Obstruction caused the eyes of all who saw it to shrink suddenly.

"If one is tainted by such Karmic Obstruction, even a Breakthrough will attract a Lightning Tribulation!"

"The Mandate of Heaven... the former Mandate of Heaven has long since become a great inauspiciousness..."

"The Karmic Obstruction of Luo Heaven is too terrifying, the gains do not outweigh the losses..."

They indifferently looked at the Karmic Obstruction above the Mandate of Heaven, suppressing any lingering interest in it.

They had always treated the Mandate of Heaven as a casual move, as each era had its own glory. The Mandate of Heaven of the Divine Era might not necessarily dominate everything in the current golden age.

If there was an opportunity to obtain it, they would make a move; if there was danger, they would abandon it. This was the attitude of top powers; all beings were merely pieces on a chessboard.

The white-robed spearman and the Western Buddhist Son, which one of them wasn't a peerless talent? But ultimately, they were all expendable pieces.

Just like now, they perished because of the Mandate of Heaven, yet not a single word was mentioned about them!

However, the First Emperor was utterly indifferent to the thoughts of other existences; he simply walked forward on his own.

The Emperors Road behind him became increasingly brilliant and real.

"Your Majesty, no!!!"

Just as Su Zheng was about to approach the Mandate of Heaven, Zhu Di quickly stopped him.

"This Mandate of Heaven contains countless Karmic Obstructions; once tainted, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

But Su Zheng ignored Zhu Di's words. He merely glanced at Su Chensha, who stood there also watching the Emperor.

Even in the ethereal realm, a pair of eyes containing myriad galaxies on Lingxiao Peak were waiting for something.

"Hahahahahahaha!!! Karmic Obstruction, Karmic Obstruction!"

"Those who are tainted are inauspicious?"

"Everything is but an illusion!! I am the First Emperor, I shall suppress all of eternity. Under Heaven, there is no land that is not the King's land; within the borders, there are no subjects who are not the King's subjects!!"

"Even Karmic Obstruction and the Mandate of Heaven should submit to my hands!!"

Su Zheng hesitated not in the slightest; he suddenly raised his hand.

The Mandate of Heaven, as if drawn by some force, slowly floated into his hand at this moment.

Boundless power of Karmic Obstruction, like raging thunder, roared and raged, continuously surging into the First Emperor's body.

Subsequently, scenes appeared before the First Emperor's eyes.

He saw shattered beings, a ruined land, a broken sky, blood dyeing the entire earth red, and countless common people displaced.

Cultivators, all beings, myriad races, everything collapsed and annihilated at this moment.

Powerlessness, guilt, tyranny...

Unimaginable negative emotions surged like a torrent.

However, Su Zheng still stood there indifferently, watching everything before him.

His face showed no joy or sorrow, and his eyes were dim and uncertain.

"Look... all living beings... are sinful!"

"Everything... is sorrowful..."

"You want to become an Emperor for all eternity? You want to rule everything? This is a task even more difficult than what I once did...

Countless living beings will perish because of you; unimaginable slaughter and Karmic Obstruction will be born because of you..."

An ethereal, ancient voice echoed in Su Zheng's ears.

Then, the scene before Su Zheng's eyes changed again.

He saw the Great Qin cavalry enveloped by countless powerful immortal armies. He saw the battle flag of Great Qin fall with a crash. He saw countless citizens of Great Qin die under the butcher's knife.

One by one, they looked at Su Zheng, their eyes filled with countless emotions.

"Your Majesty, is this what you want!"

"Your Majesty!! Isn't it good to just occupy one place!"

"Your Majesty!!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!!!"

Their voices grew more resentful and desolate, and one by one, familiar faces fell before Su Zheng.

Yet...

The Emperor still stood there, his eyes as still as an ancient well.

"Is that all?"

"Hahahahahahaha! You are that trace of Luo Heaven's consciousness from ancient times, aren't you? You saw everything in the world perish, saw the people you loved fall.

You hesitated, you feared?

So even Heaven can be afraid!!

But Heaven may fear, I will not!!!!" The First Emperor spoke with resounding conviction, his voice filled with indescribable determination!!

"Karma, slaughter, Karmic Retribution, all come!!! I am the First Emperor of Great Qin; I shall suppress everything. What I want is the unification of the world, what I want is the rectification of the six directions!

Under my rule, the world will eventually be peaceful and prosperous, and all subsequent consequences, I alone shall bear them!!"

His voice at this moment seemed to suppress the Mandate of Heaven from ancient times!!

The Emperor stood there, with the Ancestral Dragon manifesting behind him. He seemed even more magnificent than Heaven itself!!

"You... do you really think... you can do it?" That trace of Luo Heaven's Divine Sense wavered.

"Naturally..."

"By what right!"

"By the right that I am the Emperor of Great Qin, the First Emperor, Emperor of Qin!"

Bang!

The next moment...

All inauspiciousness was annihilated and shattered by the Emperor's voice.

The will of Luo Heaven, born in the Divine Era, never sought to perish for itself, but rather became deranged in its desire to save all beings.

The person it transformed into experienced countless sufferings in the human world, yet still loved it. It wanted to save everything, but it could not.

Even if it was Heaven, it could not...

However... just now, after countless eras, it saw hope.

What it could not do.

Someone could do it!!

"In that case... you shall bear the Mandate of Heaven..." That consciousness of Luo Heaven let out a final sigh.

"Peace and prosperity... peace under Heaven... how beautiful..."

"If only she were in this era too..."

At the same time...

In the outside world, the First Emperor's eyes were slightly closed, holding the Mandate of Heaven of Luo Heaven in his hand.

Countless ominous and bizarre energies surged.

And as the First Emperor opened his eyes.

The next moment!

Bang!

The Karmic Obstruction that even Dao Lords and existences beyond Dao Lords greatly feared shattered one after another.

In its place was the Mandate of Heaven, radiating endless profoundness!!

A voice, as if spanning time, gently resonated at this moment.

"You shall bear the Mandate of Heaven!!!"

As this voice fell, the profound Mandate of Heaven began to continuously transform into a certain power, intending to enter Su Zheng's body.
