361: Chapter 361 The Master of Tianji Pavilion (4)

"Stop." The Ancestor of Darkness swayed, blocking their path, a resolute glint in his eyes. "Fellow Daoist Chaos is known as the strongest expert in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms. Although I know I am inferior, I still wish to experience one of your moves."

"Today, I ask Fellow Daoist Chaos to grant me a few pointers, allowing me to witness just how powerful the Chaos Divine Body truly is."

Upon hearing this, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's eyes flashed with a cold glint, but his tone remained calm: "Since Fellow Daoist insists, then make your move."

The Darkness Great Emperor, who was standing by, quickly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's strength is unfathomable. We are willing to assist Your Majesty and work together to subdue him."

The Ancestor of Darkness waved his hand, his gaze fixed on the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, and said in a deep voice: "No need. The twelve Supreme Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm are already hidden in the surrounding space. You all retreat to the side; I will personally deal with him."

"Yes." The ten Supreme Great Emperors dared not disobey and retreated hundreds of millions of miles away, concentrating their vigilance, ready to provide support at any moment.

The Ancestor of Darkness took a deep breath, the Origin of Darkness surged wildly around him, his World-Destroying Divine Body operated to its extreme, his black robe fluttered, and his aura instantly climbed to its peak, a murderous intent fully revealed in his pair of eerie green eyes.

He slowly raised his hand and threw a punch. This punch seemed simple, yet it contained the three great Laws of Darkness: destruction, Devour (devouring), and annihilation. Wherever the punch force passed, the Void Realm directly turned into nothingness, carrying a world-destroying might, heading straight for the Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

The Chaos Heavenly Emperor's expression remained unchanged. His Chaos Divine Body was also activated to its extreme, and the Chaos auspicious light around him surged. He also threw a punch, his fist entwined with the Origin power of the primordial Chaos, containing the three great Laws of creation, vitality, and evolution, colliding head-on with the Ancestor of Darkness's punch.

"Boom—!"

After a earth-shattering roar, the aftermath of the two ultimate forces swept in all directions like a tsunami. The surroundings instantly turned into scorched earth, mountains and rocks within tens of millions of miles were all reduced to dust, and cracks in the Void Realm stretched for millions of miles.

The Ancestor of Darkness swayed and retreated three steps, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes—he hadn't expected the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's strength to be so formidable.

The Chaos Heavenly Emperor, however, remained motionless, the Chaos auspicious light around him still brilliant, as if that strike earlier was merely a casual one.

The Ancestor of Darkness took a deep breath, suppressing the surging Qi and blood within him, knowing that it would be difficult to keep the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion today. If he insisted on fighting, his side would likely pay a heavy price.

He glanced at the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, then at the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion who was rapidly recovering, gritted his teeth and said: "Fellow Daoist Chaos, I will remember today's matter. Let's go."

With that, he no longer hesitated, turned and tore through the Void Realm, leading the ten Supreme Great Emperors away together, disappearing into the desolate plain in a blink of an eye.

The Chaos Heavenly Emperor watched their retreating figures, not pursuing them. Only after confirming that the Ancestor of Darkness and the others had completely departed, did he turn to look at the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

At this moment, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion had already finished adjusting his breath, and his injuries had mostly healed. He stood up and once again cupped his hands to the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, saying: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chaos, for saving me. Your great kindness cannot be expressed in words."

The Chaos Heavenly Emperor waved his hand and asked curiously: "Fellow Daoist of Heavenly Secret, why did the Ancestor of Darkness go to such lengths to pursue you? Earlier, I vaguely heard him asking about the creation god axe?"

The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion nodded, his expression solemn as he said: "That's right. He asked me if there were other ways to obtain the creation god axe besides collecting all twelve heavenly books."

"The creation god axe..." A hint of contemplation flashed in the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's eyes. "This is a cosmic supreme treasure, infinitely powerful. If it falls into the hands of the Ancestor of Darkness, the consequences would be unimaginable. Does Fellow Daoist know of other ways?"

The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If I knew, I would have taken it myself; how could it be someone else's turn?

"Only by collecting all twelve heavenly books can one subdue the creation god axe. Besides that, there is no other way."

"However, Fellow Daoist Chaos needs to be more vigilant. I sense that many ancient powerhouses in the Creation Secret Realm have already awakened and have now left the Secret Realm, scattered throughout the All Heavens and Myriad Realms. In the future, I fear there will be no shortage of bloodshed."

The Chaos Heavenly Emperor's expression hardened, and he nodded: "Fellow Daoist is absolutely right. The Immortal Realm is already prepared. I have left two heavenly books in the Immortal Realm, and with the Immortal Ancestor, Founding Ancestor, Martial Ancestor, and dozens of Supreme Immortal Emperors guarding it, it is enough to handle any unforeseen circumstances."

Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion felt relieved and cupped his hands, saying: "Since that is the case, I shall take my leave first. If Your Majesty has any commands in the future, just send a message, and my Heavenly Secret Pavilion will definitely go all out."

"Good." The Chaos Heavenly Emperor nodded in agreement.

The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion said no more, raised his hand to tear through the Void Realm, and with a flash of his green robe, disappeared from the spot.

The Chaos Heavenly Emperor looked in the direction he left, then at the empty space where the Ancestor of Darkness and the others had disappeared, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He turned to the Destiny Immortal Emperor, Ancestor Fu, and the other twelve Supreme Immortal Emperors who had appeared not far away, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, follow me back to the Immortal Realm. The storm of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms is already approaching."

"We obey Your Majesty's command." The twelve Supreme Immortal Emperors responded in unison, transforming into streaks of light with the Chaos Heavenly Emperor and flying towards the Bu Du Sea.

On the desolate plain, the fierce winds still blew, with only the widespread devastation and lingering energy fluctuations telling the story of the thrilling battle that had just taken place.

The Era Immortal Palace, standing in the eastern corner of the Creation Secret Realm, had halls built entirely from Chaos Crystal. Billions of Era Laws intertwined upon it, transforming into flowing, colorful dao patterns, slowly circulating in the Void Realm.

The Era Grand Hall deep within the Immortal Palace was even more magnificent. Thirty-six Grandmist Stars were embedded in the ceiling, absorbing the Origin power within the Secret Realm day and night. The floor tiles in the hall were all made of Enlightenment Divine Jade; stepping on them could make one's Dao Heart clear and comprehend the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.

In the center of the grand hall, there was a round table with only two seats.

At this moment, two people were seated at the tables.

The person on the left wore a vast ancient robe, embroidered with patterns of the sun, moon, stars, creation, and Reincarnation. Faint Era Phantoms lingered around him, as if he controlled the creation and destruction of the river of time. This was the master of the Era Immortal Palace—the Era Dominator.

He sat upon his seat, his gaze calm and unwavering, like ancient, unchanging ice, overlooking the vicissitudes of the world.

The person on the right wore an imperial robe with lifelike Dragon patterns, and faint Dragon roars echoed throughout the hall. His sacred might was vast, as if the order of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms was under his control. This was the Holy Emperor of the Heavens from the Creation God Temple.

His figure was tall and straight, his face majestic, and his eyes were as sharp as swords, seemingly capable of piercing through the Origin of all things.

The two sat opposite each other in silence. Only the hum of the stars' operation echoed in the grand hall, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

After a long while, the Era Dominator was the first to break the silence. He picked up a cup of immortal brew from the table, took a light sip, and looked at the Holy Emperor of the Heavens with an indifferent gaze, his tone calm and unwavering: "Holy Emperor of the Heavens has come to my Era Immortal Palace; may I know the reason?"

The Holy Emperor of the Heavens heard this, a gentle smile appearing on his face. He leaned forward slightly, his tone carrying a hint of earnestness: "I came today specifically to invite the Era Dominator to join my Creation God Temple."

Upon hearing this, the Era Dominator's lips curled into a sneer. He put down his wine cup, his gaze still indifferent: "Join the Creation God Temple? I have no interest in joining any force."

The Holy Emperor of the Heavens seemed to have anticipated this. He was unhurried and slowly began: "Fellow Daoist Era, don't rush to refuse. To be frank, my Emperor, the Creation Sovereign who has been dormant for eons, has now awakened."

"Currently, His Majesty is widely recruiting Supreme Great Emperor experts within the Creation Secret Realm. Before the Creation Secret Realm closes, my Creation God Temple will unify the entire Secret Realm."

"Oh?" The Era Dominator raised an eyebrow, as if he had heard a huge joke. He burst out laughing, his laughter filled with disdain, "So, your Emperor is confident he can subdue the creation god axe?"
