393: On the throne
One by one, their eyes stared in horror at the figure on the throne.
A figure was still sitting calmly there.
It was the Emperor!
He looked unharmed at the moment, seemingly unaffected.
But precisely because of this, the expressions of the few people changed again and again.
Although they hadn't unleashed their full power just now, the combined might they displayed was enough to shake the heavens and earth.
Yet, in front of the Emperor, it was so vulnerable.
Is this the power of a Red Dust Immortal?
Even severely wounded, and now with only half a body, he could still exert such overwhelming power against them.
He could easily kill Darkness Sovereigns, and his existence was almost immortal and indestructible.
The divine forms he condensed through Immortal Dao Laws were each terrifying beyond compare.
They easily swept away the surrounding Dark Supreme.
With a rumble.
The vibrations between heaven and earth continuously resounded.
Supreme after Supreme fell.
The tremors almost affected this entire starfield.
Great Stars continuously fell.
As time passed, several terrifying figures eventually emerged from the green cauldron.
Each of them carried extremely severe injuries.
Clearly, the battle within was extremely arduous.
One of them was the Lord of Reincarnation from the Primordial Ancient Mine.
He once presided over the Underworld and created the Path of Reincarnation.
He was a terrifying creature of creation at the end of Reincarnation.
Now, his voice boomed.
"I didn't expect Carefree Celestial Venerable wouldn't make it out alive."
The others, hearing this, couldn't help but roll their eyes.
"That one was merely a Clone; the reason Carefree Celestial Venerable can roam freely between heaven and earth relies on this method of soul division, which is virtually unsolvable."
"As long as he wishes, he can differentiate new identities at any time, at most consuming a bit of Divine Soul power. How could he possibly fall in there?"
As soon as this was said, the others nodded in agreement.
However, some soon looked solemn.
"To think, the Emperor's scheme was so far-reaching; he almost turned all of us into nourishment."
Upon hearing this, a terrifying Dark Supreme's laughter erupted.
"It's both a calamity and an Opportunity. It's good that we've just learned the specific steps to Immortal Ascension, isn't it?"
"Living nine lives in reverse in The Mortal World, and finally becoming an Immortal in The Mortal World."
"It's just that the difficulty involved, even if we know it, probably isn't that simple to achieve."
"Having hope is better than blindly pursuing."
Just then, a Dark Supreme suddenly coughed violently.
Violent black blood appeared in his palm.
Then his divine light dimmed, and he couldn't help but speak desolately.
"This time, the cost of acting was too great; it has already damaged my Origin. I must replenish it as soon as possible."
As soon as these words fell, the eyes of the others also flickered slightly.
They clearly understood what he meant by replenishment.
But none of the people present had any thought of dissuading him.
In fact, everyone entertained such a thought.
Looking at the immensely vast Ancient Stars of Life in the distance, a hint of greed appeared in their eyes.
To hear the Dao in the morning and die in the evening is acceptable.
Now that they had just learned the method of Immortal Ascension, there was no need to die yet.
They only needed to initiate a Dark Turmoil as they had in the past, harvesting the living beings of the world.
They had done it this way in the past; they were both observers and participants.
Now, it was merely a re-enactment.
Why pretend to be noble?
If they were truly so pure, they wouldn't have severed themselves and entered the Life Forbidden Zone, harvesting the living beings of the world like everyone else.
With a cackling laugh.
A Dark Supreme rushed towards a distant Ancient Star of Life.
Wherever he passed, there was silence and dimness.
There were no traces of living beings remaining on any planet.
This terrifying Dark Supreme devoured all living beings.
His originally empty body also began to receive some replenishment as he devoured the essence of life.
However, there was still a considerable distance to go before reaching his Peak state.
This also meant the immense number of lives that needed to be devoured.
The other Dark Supreme, seeing this scene, were also unwilling to fall behind.
They followed suit, starting to devour in other directions.
Wherever they passed, the forests wept in pain.
The entire Universe and its myriad Dao wailed, as if something incredibly unbearable had occurred.
At the same time, the Lord of Reincarnation observed their movements and couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.
If he remembered correctly, an Ancient Sacred Body had appeared in this era.
The life essence of an Ancient Sacred Body was extremely rich.
He himself, from birth, represented the Dao of Life.
He had always been the favorite target of the various Dark Supreme.
If he remembered correctly, he was currently on the Burial Emperor Star.
He heard that some time ago, he had already stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
It was just the right time to harvest him.
Perhaps, he could restore his portion of the Emperor's Origin and live for countless more years in The Mortal World.
Thinking it, the Lord of Reincarnation acted without any hesitation.
His figure drifted towards that direction.
In an instant, he crossed hundreds of millions of miles.
Soon, he arrived at this immensely vast, ancient, and mysterious Ancient Star.
As soon as he appeared, he opened a gaping maw, unleashing an astonishing suction force.
Immediately after, he swallowed the entire Ancient Star of Life.
Countless living beings' life essence was instantly sucked out and devoured into his body.
Behind him stood a colossal Reincarnation disk.
Within it, Imperial Dao Laws continuously flashed, representing his former Supreme authority.
Accompanying the Lord of Reincarnation's Dark Turmoil.
On this entire Burial Emperor Star, countless living beings died tragically, and heaven and earth wept.
The Northern Ridge, Southern Domain, and North Pole Plateau all turned into a living hell.
Even countless mountains and rivers collapsed, a veritable scene of doomsday.
But just at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared above the Endless Sea.
This figure wore black robes and black clothes, only his face was incomparably calm.
At this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back above the firmament.
"Is that the Lord of Reincarnation? I've seen your name in ancient texts. Are you going to initiate a great Reincarnation sacrifice on this Ancient Star of Life?"
"I don't care how much Source of Life you intend to devour, but as long as it doesn't affect the Endless Sea, you may do as you please."
As soon as these words came out, the Lord of Reincarnation instantly showed a look of astonishment.
What did Wang Dong mean by this?
Did he mean he wouldn't care about these countless living beings?
This was somewhat different from the Ancient Sacred Body in his impression.
After all, in past eras, the Human Race was an incredibly small group of living beings.
They even once went through an extremely Dark era.
The Human Race had not produced an Emperor for several consecutive eras.
They relied on nine Great Accomplishment Holy Bodies to suppress the Dark Turmoil.
This led to later Holy Bodies, almost every one of whom had a heart for the world.
They possessed a strong spirit of dedication.
But how did it become different with Wang Dong?
