SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

I have to say, the nineteenth level of Hell Star is extremely bizarre.

It doesn't have that straightforward danger, but it gradually drives people insane.

Next, Jun Xiaoyao seemed to experience endless reincarnations.

He was once a spirited young cultivator, who eventually died on the Emperor's Road.

He was a youth who wanted to revitalize his family, only to bleed out mercilessly on the Emperor's Road.

He even experienced being a lovesick woman who set foot on the Emperor's Road, hoping to pursue the prodigy she admired.

In the end, she died without ever seeing that prodigy once, and that prodigy didn't even know she existed.

Resentment, hatred, unwillingness!

Various negative emotions, like poison, began to infect Jun Xiaoyao's consciousness.

This was the unwillingness of countless ordinary beings who died on the Emperor's Road.

Why should some people be high above others?

And why should they be the dried bones paving the road?

This power of resentment was terrifying.

Even Jun Xiaoyao's Three Worlds Divine Soul showed signs of turning black.

"Great Sun Tathagata!"

Jun Xiaoyao activated the Present World Tathagata Scripture, and a majestic Great Sun Tathagata apparition appeared, attempting to suppress the evil spirits.

But that overwhelming resentment was too terrifying, even the Great Sun Tathagata could hardly suppress it.

"This nineteenth level of Hell Star is indeed dangerous. Although there's no obvious killing intent, it kills people invisibly."

Jun Xiaoyao sighed.

No matter how strong one's cultivation is, when facing this kind of mental contamination, anyone would be vulnerable and could break down with one careless moment.

Jun Xiaoyao seemed to have reincarnated hundreds of times.

But in the outside world, only a little over a month had passed.

During this month, the prodigies who were training in Hell Star had almost all returned.

The entire Hell Star was about to close.

Mu Yuehan, the Golden-Winged Peng Prince, and Little Xian'er, who was transformed from the Immortal Marrow King, had also returned.

Some prodigies looked at Little Xian'er with burning eyes, but dared not make any presumptuous moves.

Because this Little Xian'er belonged to Jun Xiaoyao.

Although no one knew if Jun Xiaoyao could come out from the nineteenth level of Hell Star.

But after witnessing Jun Xiaoyao's strength, no one would dare to test him, because one careless move could cost them their lives.

"It's been over a month, and the Jun family's divine son hasn't come out yet."

"Yes, I heard that at the end of the eighteen trials of the Emperor's Road, the Desolate Heaven Battlefield will open soon. By then, prodigies from all over will gather there, striving to obtain the Dao Certification Seal and earn the title of Emperor's Road King."

"The Desolate Heaven Battlefield is the ultimate trial ground of the Emperor's Road in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm, with endless opportunities. If one can obtain the legendary Dao Certification Seal, their future achievement would be at least a Quasi-Emperor."

"If the Jun family's divine son participates, even if he doesn't become the Emperor's Road King directly, he would at least obtain a Dao Certification Seal."

"But looking at the current situation, whether the Jun family's divine son can come out is still uncertain."

The prodigies at the venue were all discussing.

If one could obtain a Dao Certification Seal, it would be extremely beneficial for later stepping onto the Ultimate Ancient Road.

And if one could earn the title of Emperor's Road King, they would almost be the leader of this Emperor's Road in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm, with endless glory and honor.

With Jun Xiaoyao's current strength, he was one of the most likely people to compete for this honor.

However, now, after more than a month, Hell Star was closing.

Yet there was no sign of Jun Xiaoyao.

If it weren't for Jun Xiaoyao's previous outstanding performance, many would believe that Jun Xiaoyao had truly fallen.

However, the situation was indeed as some had thought.

Jun Xiaoyao's predicament was indeed not very good.

Previously, he was able to safely come out of the Bronze Immortal Palace, apart from various factors.

The main reason was the karmic connection between the Bronze Immortal Palace and the masked woman.

And he had an inexplicable karmic connection with the masked woman.

Because of this relationship, Jun Xiaoyao could treat the Bronze Immortal Palace as his home.

If others entered, even Supreme Beings would be killed.

But the nineteenth level of Hell Star was different.

This incredible place had no karmic connection with Jun Xiaoyao.

In other words, Jun Xiaoyao could only rely on himself to pass this trial.

...

For the outside world, it was just a short period of a little over a month.

But for Jun Xiaoyao, who was trapped in the nineteenth level of Hell Star, it felt like he had gone through hundreds of reincarnations.

He had embodied countless prodigies who had fallen on the Emperor's Road, and each time, he died with endless despair.

Once or twice, one might not feel much.

But when a person experiences that endless despair, that death like an abyss, hundreds of thousands of times.

No one can guarantee that they definitely won't go insane.

At least, if it were any other prodigy, even a Supreme Being, they wouldn't be able to endure longer than Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao's invincible Dao heart had already gone through countless trials and was not so easily broken.

But even so, facing this endless torture, even Jun Xiaoyao felt mentally exhausted.

"This is indeed a torturous trial," Jun Xiaoyao thought.

His divine soul power began to gradually recede, and layers of black resentment and sin stained his divine soul.

Finally, after experiencing ten thousand more reincarnations, Jun Xiaoyao's divine soul was almost completely black.

At that moment, even Jun Xiaoyao himself was powerless to reverse the situation.

Just as Jun Xiaoyao was preparing his final measure for a desperate fight.

A fragmented ancient talisman suddenly appeared.

"This is..."

Jun Xiaoyao was stunned, then remembered.

This was the half-broken ancient talisman he had taken from Wang Teng in the Bronze Immortal Palace.

This fragmented ancient talisman had the character "Chaos" inscribed on it and possessed the power to protect one's divine soul.

Even when Wang Teng's divine soul was severed, he could recover with this.

And now, this fragmented ancient talisman emitted a faint light again, like a spark in the darkness.

As the fragmented ancient talisman was activated, Jun Xiaoyao vaguely saw a majestic figure gradually appearing.

In his ears, a resonant voice filled with endless tenacious will was heard.

"In the first half of my life, I fought ten thousand battles, lost ten thousand times, never won once!"

"After ten thousand defeats, I went from saint to demon, reversed yin and yang, inverted life and death, and my achievements rivaled creation itself!"

"In the latter half of my life, I fought ten thousand battles, won ten thousand times, never lost once!"

The earth-shattering voice echoed in Jun Xiaoyao's consciousness.

That half-broken ancient talisman also released immeasurable divine light, illuminating the vast darkness.

Jun Xiaoyao's consciousness was stirred, awakening like a sleeping lion.

These words reminded him of a person, a legend among emperors.

Chaos Ancient Emperor!

An emperor whose life was full of hardships, who tasted ten thousand defeats.

It could be said that he was an anomaly among emperors.

Other emperors, from birth, amazed the universe and were crowned with glory.

But he rose from obscurity, revived from the grassroots, step by step.

Never won once in the first half of his life, never lost once in the latter half.

Jun Xiaoyao had previously read about the deeds of Chaos Ancient Emperor in some classics.

At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao's consciousness shook as he looked at the fragmented ancient talisman.

Looking at the character "Chaos" inscribed on the ancient talisman, Jun Xiaoyao could finally confirm.

This fragmented ancient talisman was indeed the imperial weapon of Chaos Ancient Emperor from the past, the Chaos Emperor Talisman!
