Chapter 20: The Terrifying Venerable Invokes My Divine Descent (2 in 1 Mega Chapter)_2
The Forbidden Zone Venerables paid no attention to these matters.
The universe was so vast. Escape? Where could one possibly escape to?
Apart from the Holy Lands and World Houses with profound foundations, ordinary cultivators needed at least the cultivation level of a Saint to flee the Big Dipper Domain.
At that moment, the being within the Immortal Mound, hands clasped behind his back, looked up to the sky as if reminiscing about glorious years past, feeling as if he was seeing the light of day again after ages; in fact, it truly had been countless lifetimes!
His every move made the Nine Heavens and Ten Earth tremble.
With a single step, a path of immortal light unfolded beneath his feet, winding towards the south, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived above the Spiritual Void Heavenly Cave of the Yan Nation in the Southern Region!
Just one step, and he was here, no different from the resurrection of an Ancient Great Emperor.
Although the Emperor Qi was restrained and not released, it still caused all beings in the entire Southern Region to be filled with fear, and people in the nearby areas involuntarily prostrated themselves.
When an Ancient Venerable emerged, the Heavenly Earth Path lamented, all spirits paid their respects, and every race in the heavens had to submit!
"Is this an Immortal Artifact?"
The Venerable from the Immortal Mound looked at the Mountain and River Seal in Xiong Ba's hands, his burning eyes immeasurably deep, akin to a condensed ocean, unfathomable.
Upon closer inspection, one could see universes and star rivers within his gaze fading away, heavens collapsing, the beginning of creation, and the birth of all spirits!
That kind of gaze caused a stirring in one's heart, as if facing the founder of an era when the sky and earth were opened—it truly made one's soul tremble.
In the Undying Mountain, a formidable being clad in black armor emerged, enveloped in mist, his aura terrifyingly vast. He was seated upon a gigantic Divine Tiger, its body covered in dense scales instead of fur, which flickered with a dreadful metallic luster, exuding a fierce, overwhelming presence.
In the hands of the Undying Mountain Venerable was a Halberd, dark and solemn, capable of crushing the heavens, powerful enough to shatter myriads of stars.
This was a Halberd forged from Dragon Pattern Black Gold, its edge gleaming brightly, its power shaking the world—it was undoubtedly an Emperor Artifact!
This Venerable, holding the Halberd and seated upon the giant Divine Tiger, erupted with immortal light and directly arrived above the Spiritual Void Heavenly Cave in the Southern Region.
Golden Light Paths surged upward from various Forbidden Zones. It was said that these represented the number of Ancient Venerables, with each light path symbolizing one being, representing the glorious fruition of an era. That was their Path, never to wither!
At least one beam of light shot skyward from each Forbidden Life Area, while the Primordial Ancient Mine might have three or even four—perhaps the most!
One by one, Ancient Venerables descended, their terrifying presence overlooking eons and suppressing all Paths, making heaven and earth tremble and the star rivers shake.
Everyone's gaze was intense, their eyes burning as they stared at the Mountain and River Seal in Xiong Ba's hand.
"Are these the forbidden existences from the Forbidden Zones?" Yao Guang, the Saint Son, trembled, his eyes filled with shock. Too terrifying.
Yao Xi's delicate body shuddered, her heart overwhelmed. This was the first time she had witnessed such legendary, forbidden powerhouses. Powerful. Unimaginably powerful. Terrifying! Unimaginably terrifying.
Saint Master Yao Guang, holding the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Tripod, felt a bitter taste in his mouth. In the presence of these Venerables, even if he possessed an Emperor Soldier, he dared not act rashly. The gap is too vast. His legs turned to jelly, torn between the desire to run and the fear to move; his spirit was tormented.
As the might of the Venerables swept over, Ye Hei was frightened beyond belief and couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! The Overlord, you've brought out all the Forbidden Zone Venerables!"
But he wasn't scared. He still had his ultimate trump card—the Divine Spirit Mark. Summon my god, and whether you are a Venerable or an Ancient Emperor, you will all kneel and sing in conquest!
"I didn't expect them to come out either!" Xiong Ba was somewhat helpless; he had come to help, yet instead, he had attracted even more enemies.
These Venerables are too strong, he thought. Even with a set of top-grade artifacts, the disparity in our Cultivation Levels is too great. I can only rely on the artifacts to stay alive; I can't overcome them at all. The aura of these Venerables is too powerful. It's suffocating.
Tushan Rongrong's slightly narrowed eyes opened fully. "These Venerables are indeed a tad strong. She didn't have a Divine Artifact, and with her Eighth Level Cultivation Level, she probably couldn't defeat even a single Venerable. After all, these Venerables are at least at the Ninth Level of Cultivation, their combat strength pushing the boundaries of the Tenth Level. Moreover, each of them had clawed their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. In terms of combat experience or willpower, they were incomparable to those like her, who had been granted their power in a single step by the Upper God."
Yunyun's curvaceous figure trembled as she observed each Forbidden Zone Venerable Ancient Emperor, her heart deeply stirred. "Are these the Venerable Ancient Emperors? So strong, such a terrifying aura! It wasn't their strength that shocked her, but that unbeatable aura, that invincible spirit. Each of these Venerables or Ancient Emperors had once stood peerless under heaven and earth, reigning over the Ancient Universe as invincible beings! With their own Path suppressing all other Paths, they had proven their Path to become Emperors or Ancient Emperors. That kind of aura was completely different from that of ordinary powerhouses. Perhaps only a world like the one in "Covering the Sky" could nurture such beings."
"Immortal Artifact! This is definitely an Immortal Artifact! The Rules contained within are too powerful, too profound! If I could comprehend them, perhaps I could grasp the mysteries of becoming an Immortal!"
The Venerable from the Immortal Mound was surrounded by Chaos and myriad Paths, resplendent with divine light. One could vaguely discern that he was a humanoid creature, but his race was indeterminable. He wore a purple-gold crown and a Daoist robe, his true face obscured; his grayish-brown hair cascaded over his chest and back, and within his eyes were scenes of stars and celestial bodies being annihilated. This figure seemed to be a Daoist, leading to suspicions that he might be an ancient Celestial Master from the Mythical Era!
"The armor he wears is also an Immortal Artifact! It's a complete set, surely forged by an Immortal!" the Undying Mountain Venerable exclaimed, his voice trembling with excitement as the myriad Paths of the universe roared in response.
As for Xiong Ba and the others, their strength was merely comparable to that of Quasi Emperors.
