Chapter 177: Today, I Will Destroy You, Traitor!

The river of time flowed beneath that person’s feet, with fragments of time merely serving as his backdrop!

Though shrouded in darkness, with most of his body hidden, it didn’t mean he was simple.

Boundless power coursed through the world, Zhang Liang’s fist light surged, instantly engulfing the entire realm.

In the past, present, and future, shadows battled.

Scarlet fist light tore through the heavens, vast power pervading the world.

Martial Ancestor’s face darkened, his aura of invincibility emanating.

A bell, as if from chaos, descended.

“Hmph!”

“Today, I will destroy you, traitor!”

Crimson blood surged from his body, merging with his fist light.

Emperor’s blood sprayed through the heavens, and in a flash, Zhang Liang’s power soared, tearing through endless darkness, revealing the true face of the authoritative voice.

A dark Immortal Emperor…

This terrifying being’s missing half-body had somehow healed, now possessing a new form.

Boom!!!

Billions of chaotic seas trembled as Zhang Liang’s fist collided with a dark hand, their clash opening a vast universe!

Earth, water, wind, and fire surged, the Three Thousand Great Daos manifested, ripples spreading, universes born and destroyed within the ripples.

The forces of life and death collided, radiating world-shattering light.

Martial Ancestor roared to the heavens, his seals transforming, seamlessly shifting between life and death. Opposite him, the dark Immortal Emperor did the same.

Their lightning-fast exchange left onlookers stunned, watching in awe as newly created universes were destroyed.

In the hands of Immortal Emperors, multiverse life was insignificant, worlds created with a mere thought.

Through countless worlds, Martial Ancestor’s fist intent remained unyielding, each attack like the convergence of countless world laws!

Before him, the Immortal Emperor’s moves were unfathomable, dark storms swirling around him, blood-red light occasionally flashing, black blood dripping…

The strongest emperor’s blood, containing terrifying power.

Then.

Boom!!!

Martial Ancestor’s radiant fist light struck first, accompanied by the bell’s resounding chime.

Meanwhile.

Northern Region.

Beside the broken Fire Mulberry Tree.

Yan Ling’er was momentarily stunned by the sudden appearance of the white-robed youth.

Especially when he uttered the words “father-in-law,” her beautiful face showed surprise.

She couldn’t believe it; in his past life, he was extremely aloof, rarely speaking.

Let alone making such teasing remarks.

Lin Ao Tian saw her expression and smiled slightly, gazing ahead.

He was well aware of Yan Ling’er’s identity.

Princess of the Endless Flame Domain in the Immortal Realm.

Daughter of the Flame Emperor.

Then, Lin Ao Tian’s gaze turned serious as he looked at the nearby old man.

The Immortal Ancestor of the foreign realm… the Deathless Elder!

This…!

Had the plot progressed this far?

Even a quasi-Immortal Emperor had appeared?

Hiss!

Lin Ao Tian’s expression remained calm, but he couldn’t help but inwardly gasp.

However!

Now, his Self-Transformation Technique was at the Immortal Emperor level.

He could manifest beings he had seen or known!

It was incredibly powerful!

If he manifested… that Heavenly Emperor who covered the sky with a single leaf, then what?

How would they fight?

Thinking this, Lin Ao Tian paused slightly.

“I almost forgot… the future Emperor Ling Feng is right here.”

The next second, Lin Ao Tian’s gaze fell on the blood-covered Ling Feng, his mouth twitching slightly.

“Tsk tsk tsk, isn’t this a bit too pitiful?”

Ling Feng shouldn’t have to endure this.

At his current realm, facing a quasi-Immortal Emperor was absurd!

Then, Lin Ao Tian sighed helplessly.

In this lower realm, Ling Feng had almost effortlessly advanced, every opportunity was his.

Why was he now in such dire straits?

Then, Lin Ao Tian thought of Ling Feng’s future achievements, seriously questioning if he was truly human.

He remembered.

A bloodthirsty forbidden land, teeming with beasts, demons rampant, killing as natural as eating and drinking.

Here, there was no emotion, whether human or cultivator, all had become killing machines.

Perpetually dark, no sunlight, ghosts formed from death energy reaching emperor levels.

Influenced by the environment, no cultivator could rival them.

That year, countless human cultivators were trapped, leading to a grand assembly to solve the forbidden land issue.

To join, one had to be at the Immortal King level, many clans and academies treated it as a test for their direct descendants.

Though dangerous, it was filled with opportunities, in the endless slaughter, no one cared for the abundant spiritual herbs and elixirs.

The empire took notice, sending a guard to accompany the strong into the forbidden land.

Fully prepared, everyone believed nothing could go wrong.

Then news broke, shattering their plans.

The forbidden land only allowed those below Immortal King to enter, excluding Immortal Kings.

This shocked the world.

A forbidden land with emperors, yet no Immortal Kings allowed.

What use were those below Immortal King? Were they just fodder?

Suddenly.

Many families and academies withdrew, recalling their descendants, no longer participating.

More and more left, only a few stubborn or independent remained.

The empire’s ruler watched his efforts become a joke.

In anger, he sent his princesses and princes to slay the evil.

But the eldest princess was barely ten, at the Blood Realm, and would be erased by the forbidden land.

In no time.

Only a few dozen remained at the forbidden land’s entrance, the emperor turned back to the capital in anger.

Then.

A white-robed youth appeared, calmly at the forbidden land’s entrance, calling out to the emperor.

When the emperor appeared.

The youth, fearless, offered to enter the forbidden land, asking only to become a national hero, joining the empire’s council upon return.

Unexpectedly, the emperor, who had lost hope, found renewed faith, but upon seeing the youth’s strength…
