Chapter 1990
Chapter 1990 - Emperor
The originally golden palace was now releasing specks of pitch-black and deep luster, as if it was polished from Black Immortal Gold.
This was clearly darkness force that corroded over here!
Inside the central giant palace, a dignified voice rang out, rumbling with noise. The palace swayed, becoming more and more dignified, divine and inviolable.
However, Shi Hao’s steps were steady and forceful, unmoved. He possessed a type of resoluteness and decisiveness, moving with large steps. With each step, the palaces would all tremble lightly.
In that instant, the ground began to tremble. All of the palaces in Darkness Imperial Court were rocking about, as if they were going to fly into the sky.
Inside the giant palace, it was extremely vast. There were no so-called imperial soldiers to be seen, only some ancient buildings and signs of great changes. There was a type of bleak feeling.
It was because the inside of the palaces was a bit ruined. As he continued forward, Shi Hao revealed a strange expression. There were some corpses that appeared on the ground one after another, they died who knew how many great eras ago.
Apart from this, there was dust everywhere inside this palace. There were some sculptures that were covered in dust, the remains on the ground also almost submerged under dust, the scene looking incredibly bleak.
It was precisely this type of place that released a dignified voice, coldly facing Shi Hao.
“Meeting the Emperor yet not kowtowing, you have already lost sight of heaven’s command. Thou name is on the reincarnation monument. Kowtow with each step and your sins in the afterlife will be decreased by half, at least your true spirit will be preserved.”
That voice was loud, resonating with heaven and earth, shaking up the entire boundless world. It was as if an immortal emperor descended here, inflicting pressure upon this world.
Shi Hao frowned. This creature was indeed too powerful, exceeding all opponents he faced in the past, making even his soul shake continuously.
If it was anyone else, if it was the dozen or so words just now, just a single sentence would have been enough to make their true soul tremble, thus step on the path of reincarnation.
This really was too powerful. Just words chanted from the mouth were enough to send a world shocking immortal king into the afterlife, losing their immortal dao fate.
Hong!
When facing this type of pressure, Shi Hao’s fist smashed out. A dominating aura surged, extremely fierce, directly smashing into the depths of the palace, directly suppressing it!
“Dressing up as god, I am also at the Half Immortal Emperor Realm, who dares to claim to issue me heaven’s command, who can send me into the afterlife with words? The path of reincarnation? I’ll send you there!”
Shi Hao shouted, his voice grand, as if a heavenly emperor was issuing a decree, his words law. Great dao symbols gathered above, turning into a golden decree, also rumbling towards the depths of the palace.
This type of might was too domineering. The entire darkness palace began to shine.
At this time, Shi Hao was like a shining resplendent sun, illuminating this Darkness Imperial Court. Radiance scattered across every corner, making this place appear incredibly holy.
It was as if he was eternally imperishable, set up on high. His heavenly emperor magical projection appeared, divine might unmatched, golden radiance scattering over the darkness, changing everything here.
“Unbridled!”
Right at this time, this type of berating sounded from within the ancient palace covered in dust, carrying shock, anger and killing intent. Endless darkness symbols surged; that creature took action.
A gray-colored palm that was almost shriveled, skin wrapping around bone, slowly and heavily smashed over, carrying heaven overflowing emperor might.
Under that palm, the sun and moon swirled, the boundless stars and the endless cosmos taking form, primal chaos swirling about. There was even a reincarnation path that was faintly discernible.
The palm didn’t look large, it instead seemed rather ordinary, but it controlled everything in the world. It was as if he was creating heaven and earth, grasping reincarnation. It truly was extremely horrifying!
“Who is it that is acting so impudently?!” Shi Hao’s voice was grand. His white clothes moved, towering in the sky above. He formed a fist imprint, facing that gray and shriveled palm, releasing endless immortal might.
Hong!
This was a world shocking collision, the entire ancient darkness world crying out, trembling. The great earth completely burst open, the sky dome also cracking apart, forming an endless storm.
The palaces collapsed. At this time, this Darkness Imperial Court that had remained imperishable for millions and millions of years collapsed. Ancient palaces collapsed one after another, this place thus becoming a land of ruin.
One had to understand that this place had a half immortal emperor level unrivaled formation in place. It remained imperishable throughout the generations. Immortal kings came to pay their respects, if there were any who came carrying unrespectful attitudes, they would be suppressed. There was no lack of immortal king blood inside these palace clusters.
Giant rocks flew about and giant pillars broke. The Darkness Immortal Gold tiles were smashed apart, moreover flying in all directions.
These were two powerful individuals. Their world shocking attacks shook the heavens above and earth below, the great river of time almost severed.
Shi Hao stood tall without moving, his white clothes untainted by dust, his black hair fluttering about. Even though his entire figure was handsome and refined, the expression in his eyes became increasingly ferocious.
On the other side, the palaces collapsed, dust rising. Corpses were revealed one after another, floating in the void. They were extinguished and then scattered again.
Even further out, inside those collapsed buildings, there was this type of remains. They were all armored, weapons in their hands. They were originally covered in dust, but were now revealed.
The celestial troops and generals were all turned into corpses. Now, they all reappeared in the world, but they were destroyed immediately afterwards, no corpses to be seen.
Under emperor level power, nothing could continue existing, no creatures could remain undying. Even the Darkness Imperial Court protected by half immortal emperor level formations collapsed.
Shi Hao’s pupils contracted. He saw those remains underneath the palace, saw their armors and weapons; these were clearly the past Imperial Court army.
This place was previously flourishing and prosperous, incredibly glorious.
In the past, there were many heavenly soldiers and generals guarding this place, but unknown as to why, those creatures were all killed, buried under dust.
The entire palace became a Land of Darkness.
At the same time, Shi Hao also saw that so-called Emperor!
This was a shriveled figure seated on a jade throne. In that giant palace, even though it was greatly damaged, it still didn’t collapse. He was high up above, looking down at him.
This was the only living creature in this central giant palace.
He was precisely the creature known as the Emperor!
He was clearly powerful and unmatched. As he sat there, his expression was cold. While facing Shi Hao, he didn’t suffer any injuries, carrying an undying and eternal aura.
Only, his figure was too dried up, moreover extremely gray and pale, a bit unnatural, skin wrapped around bones.
Only his eyes were intimidating like golden lamps. Perhaps they were better described as two suns in the darkness reincarnation, able to guide over lost souls.
His head of hair was gray, even the whites of his eyes gray, but his pupils were golden, sharp and intimidating. The brilliance they released could tear apart immortal kings.
He wore emperor clothes that were ancient and outdated. They were wrapped around his shriveled body, relaxed and loose fitted.
On his head was an emperor crown that flowed with nine-colored brilliance, shining upon all things. However, deep within the nine colors was a black aura that was horrifying and dense.
“Fallen half immortal emperor?”
“Emperors are unrivalled. As the years went by, great eras reincarnate, even if the heavens are erased, all things withering away, my body will still remain everlasting. What fallen is there to speak of?”
The voice of the gray-haired man on the jade throne was faint and cold, carrying a type of ‘I am the sole sovereign’ aura. He looked down on all things, as if he was the only emperor in this world.
Shi Hao didn’t say anything, instead staring at him, staring at every single part of his body. This creature was still alive, and he wasn’t some type of puppet.
However, why did he give off such a strange feeling? He just felt like something was strange.
This was the half immortal emperor of a generation, so why was his body shriveled up, his hands all dried up, flesh as if withered, only having a layer of skin left, wrapped around bone?
Even so, this person really was extremely strong. He was the most powerful enemy Shi Hao encountered so far!
“This massive Imperial Court was made by you?” Shi Hao asked.
“Correct.”
The self-proclaimed Emperor nodded, his head of gray hair flying about, his gaze intimidating. He looked down on the entire world, his body giving off a type of sole supreme existence aura.
“Why did all of the celestial troops and generals perish?” Shi Hao asked.
“They went against the decrees of the emperor, so I personally killed them all.” The Emperor coldly said.
Shi Hao sucked in a cold breath of air. Among those heavenly generals, there were definitely some immortal kings, many of them powerful individuals with profound dao skills. They belonged to Imperial Court, so why did they rebel? They were all slaughtered?
Shi Hao’s eyes became ice-cold, staring at him and saying, “In the other side of Realm Sea, the invasion of darkness, Burial Region and Foreign Realm’s emergence, the Guidance Ancient Palaces, do these things have anything to do with you?”
“You can assume these to be true.” The self-proclaimed Emperor replied indifferently. Brilliance swirled in his pupils, golden multicolored light penetrating like heavenly dao. His entire being was gradually covered in primal chaos.
“Not far out, there is a sea of bones. What kind of creatures were they?” Shi Hao shouted out.
“Imperial Court’s masses, as well as those who have made a pilgrimage.”
“You killed them?!” Shi Hao’s eyes were cold. He felt that something wasn’t right. There was a type of inauspiciousness, but he couldn’t say just what it was. Things were more dangerous than he had imagined.
The one seated on the jade throne didn’t reply to everything. “Sacrificing themselves, for them, is the best ending.”
“Also, what about the darkness invasion on the other shore, the creatures who were guided over? Where are they?” Shi Hao shouted.
He thought of Willow Deity, about Great Elder Meng Tianzheng and Huo Ling’er. He refused to believe that their souls and bones were in the sea of bones outside, because those were all remains from past great eras.
“You have too many questions.” The one on the jade throne said coldly.
“Then a battle it is!” Shi Hao shouted. With a qiang sound, he directly drew his own immortal sword, the brilliant radiance lighting up the Land of Darkness. It was extremely terrifying.
Divine brilliance flowed, surrounding him, making him incredibly dignified, as if a heavenly emperor was descending upon the world, giving him a type of unmatched aura!
This sword core was at half immortal emperor level, unstoppable. It swept out, turning into a streak of flowing light, hacking towards that gray-haired individual ahead.
Dang!
A snow-white bone ruler appeared in this person’s hands. It was sparkling like fine jade, releasing gentle brilliance.
This was clearly also a half immortal emperor level weapon. When it clashed with the immortal sword, sparks flew in all directions. The symbols that erupted between the two were too mysterious, severing the great river of time, this immediately overwhelming everything!
Hong!
Then, this person opened his mouth, spitting out a bone imprint!
It quickly enlarged, suppressing towards Shi Hao. The scene was terrifying. The bone imprint carried time, swirling with the laws of the most powerful individuals, smashing forward.
Honglong!
The Law Pool appeared above Shi Hao’s head. It derived all things, countless dao laws appearing, protecting him within, impervious to all methods.
When that bone imprint smashed down, the laws swayed, releasing endless auspicious multicolored light, smashing it aside.
“Interesting. How long has it been since I’ve fought?” The gray-haired man’s eyes were deep and cold. He stood up, rising from the jade platform, walking towards Shi Hao step by step.
Qiang!
Shi Hao activated his magical artifacts, using them to face the enemy’s weapons.
He himself didn’t use any other weapons, instead rushing out. It was now time to truly test out his half immortal emperor level strength.
“I’ve dominated the past and present, becoming unrivaled in the heavens above and earth below, unable to feel defeat even if I seek it. You have appeared at this time, but in the end, you are nothing more than a sacrifice.” The gray-haired man said coldly.
“All those who had said similar things to me have all been killed by me.” Shi Hao’s reply was simple and direct.
