At the moment Senluo left, two incredibly ancient pressures suddenly appeared in the Black Hole World and pressed down on the entire realm.
Ning Fan had just caught the Death God Crystal and hadnât yet reacted before being frozen in place by this imperial power, completely unable to move.
Among these two pressures, one felt like the vast starry sky, illusory and boundless, deep and unfathomable, elusive.
The other pressure felt domineeringly strong, like the most glaring and brightest sunlight, scorching and painful, its golden glare forcing one to avert their eyes.
These two pressures were both from Immortal Emperors, their eons-old majesty enough to make the entire galaxy tremble.
"Itâs the Shenhao Twin Emperors! Theyâve caught up with us, this is bad! Although the master is strong, he is no match for the Twin Emperors, and this old man certainly doesnât want to be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison again!" Mux Tu was captured by the Twin Emperorsâ aura on the first level of the Cave of Time, his expression changing greatly!
"Shen... Shenhao Twin Emperors! Have they caught up so quickly?" On the third level of the altar, Three Revolution Dan Master showed a look of fear, involuntarily trembling all over.
"The Shenhao Twin Emperors!"
Ning Fan secretly activated the pressure of his Ancestral Demon Blood and Demon Seal, and slightly stimulated the Ghost-Faced Spirit Attireâs divine skills to resist the Twin Emperorsâ pressure, finally recovering his ability to move.
Sweeping his spirit sense towards the Black Hole World outside the stone cave, Ning Fanâs gaze grew increasingly serious.
The boundless Black Hole World had been forcefully opened with a huge breach, through which the void scenery of the Flowing Sand Star Domain could be seen.
At the breach, two Immortal Emperors radiating seven-colored light shattered the Black Hole World and stepped into this realm together!
The current Ning Fan was already in the second step of cultivation, yet he still couldnât clearly see the appearance of the two Immortal Emperors, only vaguely noticing that among them, one was an elderly man with white hair, stepping on an illusory Silver Dragon Soul, his specific appearance unclear.
This man was none other than Emperor Xukong!
The other Immortal Emperor, clad in golden armor, had a tall and sturdy figure; although his appearance was unclear, Ning Fan could seemingly feel the personâs domineering and arrogant gaze.
This Immortal Emperor had golden Immortal Clouds beneath his feet, surrounded by six golden light spheres, vaguely sensing that treasures protected him, but unable to discern what they were.
This person was none other than Shenkong the Great Emperor!
"Senluo, itâs been years since we last met, how have you been?"
Shenkong the Great Emperor sneered, looking forward. In that direction, a blood-red figure with red hair surged into the sky, appearing graduallyâit was Senluo!
"Junior Brother..." Emperor Xukong sighed, looking at Senluo, not knowing what to say.
Senluo sneered arrogantly, ignoring Shenkong the Great Emperor completely.
As his gaze met Emperor Xukongâs, Senluoâs expression grew colder, saying, "Senior Brother, are you here to capture me back to the Heavenly Prison?"
"Junior Brother, come back with me to the Heavenly Prison, and stop creating more bloodshed..." Emperor Xukong sighed with closed eyes.
"Create more bloodshed? Ha, Senior Brother, you speak amusedly. The people youâve killed in your lifetime might not be fewer than those Iâve slain. When you kill, itâs for the heavenâs just cause, but when I kill, itâs creating more bloodshed! Ridiculous to the extreme!"
Senluo laughed up at the sky, his expression full of disdain.
Emperor Xukong frowned but sighed again.
Shenkong the Great Emperor coldly snorted and fiercely spoke to Emperor Xukong, "Why waste words with this wretch? Just capture him back to the Heavenly Prison!"
After speaking, Shenkong the Great Emperor took a step forward, with this step, vast layers of golden divine light swept over him, transforming into a golden seal that pressed down on Senluoâs head.
As the golden seal descended, it shook the heavens and earth, creating countless golden ravines that rushed in all directions like swimming dragons!
"The Divine King Seal... Back then I wasnât afraid of your Divine King Seal, and today, neither am I!"
Senluoâs expression was icy, revealing an endless chill, stepping forward with blood-red rainbows swirling around him, his red hair dancing wildly!
He was an Immortal King of the Eternal Fifth Calamity, Shenkong Emperor was an Immortal Emperor of the Eternal Eighth Calamity, the cultivation gap between the two was immense, yet Senluo feared not Shenkong!
As the golden seal descended, Senluo neither fled nor dodged, merely flicked his sleeve, instantly conjuring a million blood-red stars in the vast void!
The golden seal drew upon all the heavenly forces, transforming into millions, falling like rain towards Senluo, creating a crashing sound akin to heaven and earth colliding, triggering countless void storms.
Each phantom of the golden seal, upon descending, had a force comparable to the self-explosion of a Lower-Level Cultivation Star!
Bathed in blood-red starlight, Senluoâs gaze remained icy; despite the golden sealâs might, his blood-red starâs regenerative ability was stronger.
The Divine King Seal cannot harm him!
Senluo smirked, suddenly raised his hand, and fiercely grasped at the void before him.
The force of this grasp caused unimaginably widespread void collapse, with the million golden seal shadows crumbling into fragments.
"Ha, the Divine King Seal, is nothing more than this!" Senluo scoffed.
"Boasting without shame!" Shenkong the Great Emperorâs divine skill was broken, his expression turning extremely unpleasant, angrily flicking his sleeve, the six golden light spheres surrounding him revealing their true formsâsix golden skulls!
These six golden skulls are refined from the skulls of Masters, at least those of Four Tribulations Immortal Kings, naturally there are Five Tribulations Immortal Kingsâ skulls among them. One of the skulls is even refined from the skull of a Quasi-Emperor!
Shenkong Emperor raised his hand and pointed, a golden beam split into six, entering the six skulls.
At that moment, behind Shenkong Emperor appeared a gigantic golden tombstone apparition.
The shape of that tombstone faintly resembled the Stele of Sun and Moon, yet it was not quite the same.
The six skulls glimmered with golden light, transforming into six Masters clad in golden robes.
These six skeletal Masters, each possesses the cultivation level of an Immortal King, ranging from Three Tribulations to Quasi-Emperor.
Once they appeared, they rushed towards Senluo without the slightest bit of emotion.
"âArt of Tomb Bonesâ... This technique is one of the strongest Divine Skills in the âShenkong Scriptureâ, but with your talent, Iâm afraid you wonât ever achieve the âSummoning Emperor Bonesâ level. Six Kings of Bone are your limit."
The disdain in Senluoâs eyes deepened as he suddenly spewed out eight streaks of blood light.
The eight streaks of blood light spiraled around him, each revealing its true form, transforming into eight blood-colored skull apparitions.
These eight blood-colored skull apparitions are all Quasi-Emperor skulls!
At that moment, a colossal blood-colored tombstone apparition suddenly appeared behind Senluo.
And the eight Quasi-Emperor skulls burst forth with dazzling blood light, transforming into eight skeletal Masters dressed in blood robes.
These eight individuals all possess the cultivation level of Quasi-Emperors, and combined, they are formidable enough to contend with a Sixth Calamity Immortal Emperor!
"Impossible! Youâve never received the orthodox inheritance of the âShenkong Scriptureâ, how could you cultivate this technique to the âEight Kings of Boneâ level!" Shenkong Emperorâs gaze violently shook, watching the scene before him in disbelief.
Emperor Xukong sighed once more, having always known the incredibly high aptitude of his junior brother, unrivaled in the Godly Void Pavilion, hailed after the Shenxu Progenitor as unprecedented and incomparable.
Though Senluo did not receive the orthodox inheritance of the âShenkong Scriptureâ, even Shenkong Emperorâs Way of the Void was not as formidable as Senluoâs.
Senluo received the orthodox inheritance of the âVoid Sutraâ, and since the Shenxu Progenitor, no one has surpassed Senluoâs mastery of the Way of the Void!
His aptitude is astonishingly world-shaking, if not for the inability to sever persistent thoughts, he would have likely become an Emperor long ago!
Even without entering the Sixth Calamity of the eons, without entering the Emperor Realm, Senluoâs power is already sufficient to sweep through the Sixth Calamity of the eons, nearly capable of challenging the Seventh Tribulation Immortal Emperor!
His realm is the same as that of the Grand Elder of the Slaughter HallâMinghai Celestial King, but his power is simply incomparable to Minghai!
The six golden-robed Immortal Kings and the eight blood-robed Quasi-Emperors engaged in battle, and soon there was a victor, naturally, the eight summoned by Senluo held the upper hand.
One by one, the figures of the golden-robed Immortal Kings were shattered by the attacking blood-robed Quasi-Emperors.
Shenkong Emperorâs expression grew increasingly grim, his golden eyes flashing with a more intense killing intent!
He opened his mouth, spitting out a golden flame Treasure Bead.
With a change of technique, the golden flame Treasure Bead immediately transformed into hundreds of billions of golden flame sun shadows, bombarding Senluo.
"Innate Treasure... âFire-Splitting Pearlâ, is it? That year you sneak attacked me with this item, I suffered quite a blow. Now, this item cannot harm me! Roar!"
Senluo suddenly raised his head, letting out an earth-shattering roar.
This roar did not employ much mana, relying mostly on pure Evil Qi and lifelong demonic thoughts!
Endless blood flames spread from beneath Senluoâs feet, sweeping across the void in all directions, transforming into a vast sea of blood flames.
Those blood flames are the flames of Evil Qi, formed from Senluoâs lifetime of slaughter!
His roar carried blood-colored sound waves, pounding fiercely against the void, and the heavens echoed with that maddened demonic roar, along with countless blood-colored ripples.
At this moment, Senluoâs demonic thoughts surged to the heavens, his presence terrifying!
At this moment, Senluoâs gaze looked down upon everything!
His demonic roar possessed the Great Divine Power to burn and destroy all!
Under this demonic roar, even the stars would tremble! Even the heavens would yield!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Circles of blood-colored ripples swept over the Fire-Splitting Pearl, each strike causing the pearl to tremble violently, emitting earth-shaking booms, showing slight cracks.
A few breaths later, the Fire-Splitting Pearl trembled violently, finally splitting into two halves, nearly destroyed!
That demonic roar continued to echo through the void endlessly!
Shenkong Emperor was shocked, hurriedly formed a seal to retrieve the Fire-Splitting Pearl, fearing its complete destruction and irreversible damage.
In this moment, a buzzing sound still echoed in his ears.
The roar of demons penetrated his body, throwing his aura into chaos. He retreated hundreds of steps in the void before stabilizing his form.
Every step he took would cause the entire world to tremble!
"Shenkong, alone, you canât bring him down..." Emperor Xukong sighed, riding a silver giant dragon, flying to Shenkong Emperorâs side.
The turbidity in his eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance. With a sudden wave of his sleeve, he scattered the demon roar pervading the entire sky.
Emperor Xukong finally decided to join this battle.
He and Shenkong Emperor appeared united but were spiritually disconnected. Yet, when major issues arose, the Shenhao Twin Emperors always advanced and retreated together.
He had the closest relationship with his junior brother, but because of past events... the rift was irreparable, and his junior brother would ultimately never return.
The only thing he could do was forcibly capture Senluo and imprison him in the Heavenly Prison to prevent causing more great errors!
"Forget it, you and I should strike together and capture this scourge back to the Heavenly Prison!" Shenkong Emperor coldly snorted.
Senluo today was much stronger than in the past.
Shenkong Emperorâs myriad divine skills were restrained by Senluo. Despite his high cultivation, he found it difficult to leverage his realm advantage.
By himself, he could not easily capture Senluo.
But if the Shenhao Twin Emperors joined forces, no matter how strong Senluo was, he should fall in defeat!
"Senior brother, you insist on capturing me back to the Heavenly Prison! Is that so?" Senluo coldly declared.
"Yes!" Emperor Xukong sighed, yet his gaze became more determined.
Upon hearing this, Senluo curled his lips in a sinister, chilling smile, "I will return to the Heavenly Prison, but not now, and certainly not in this manner! Even if I resist, what can your twin emperors do against me? Emperor Technique, âBlack Prisonâ!"
Senluo abruptly raised a finger, pointing in mid-air toward the Shenhao Twin Emperors.
The boundless Black Hole World was completely shattered at this moment, transforming into countless black fragments.
After these fragments collapsed, they re-condensed into two black cages, impenetrably sealing the Shenhao Twin Emperors each within a cage.
"What! This scourge has even mastered the Black Prison technique from the âVoid Scriptureâ!!!" Shenkong the Great Emperor exclaimed in shock, and even Emperor Xu Kong displayed a look of disbelief.
Both emperors attacked simultaneously, attempting to smash the black cages imprisoning them, only to discover that even with their realms, they could not shatter the cages in a short time!
A single Black Prison isolated them from the world!
This Black Prison technique, when used offensively, could imprison formidable enemies.
As a defensive measure, it could resist attacks from the Eight Tribulations Celestial Emperor and beyond!
The twin emperors continued deploying divine skills, yet for the moment, they couldnât break the Black Prison.
Naturally, with the Black Prisonâs protection, the external Senluo couldnât harm them.
Seeing the twin emperors trapped, Senluo let out a cold laugh, opening his mouth to swallow the entire Flowing Sand Star Sea!
At this moment, the Black Hole World had already collapsed, and Senluoâs final plan was nearing its perfect completion; it was time to return to the Godly Void Pavilion!
Taking out the Dongming Star Compass, Senluoâs blood-red eyes flashed with cold light, pinpointing a direction, transforming into an imposing blood-red escape light, crashing forward all the way toward the Dongming Star Domain!
Along the way, the Locking Domain Great Arrays of numerous starfields were smashed by Senluo in succession!
Any Cultivation Star obstructing his path was smashed into pieces by Senluoâs fist!
Any Master blocking his way was directly crushed into a bloody pulp by Senluoâs escape light!
The Fate Immortals and True Immortals along the path already sensed Senluoâs overwhelming thoughts and eternal aura, shuddering in fear!
In Eastern Heaven, the extremely ancient Fragmented Thought Elders and Immortal Venerable Immortal Kings sensed Senluoâs aura, their faces filled with horror.
Those who recognized Senluoâs aura revealed expressions of fear if they were not of Immortal Emperor cultivation.
Senluo was a demon, a scourge that wreaked havoc in Eastern Heaven 45 million years ago!
This demon single-handedly overturned half of the Godly Void Pavilion and destroyed 107 Upper Starfields!
During that era, a tenth of Eastern Heavenâs True Immortals perished by his hand!
He slaughtered countless Fate Immortals and first-step Masters.
The number of Cultivation Stars he destroyed was innumerable.
And yet he still lives!
And yet he still lives!!
Within Senluo Immortal Kingâs body resided a Void Realm; the entire Flowing Sand Star Sea was swallowed into his belly.
At this moment, Ning Fan was utterly stunned. He previously thought Senluo was very strong, comparable to Minghai Celestial King, but didnât realize Senluoâs strength far exceeded Minghai, even surpassing many Sixth Calamity Immortal Emperors, akin to the Seventh Tribulation Immortal Emperor!
Even the Shenhao Twin Emperors couldnât capture Senluo in one strike; instead, Senluo repeatedly broke their divine skills and trapped them in the Flowing Sand Star Domain.
By this calculation, the second jade scroll was fundamentally incapable of causing much distress to Senluo... unless the third jade scroll summoned the Slaughter Emperor, it would be impossible to subdue Senluo...
Fortunately, from the current situation, Senluo showed no killing intent toward Ning Fan; the two were mutually utilizing each other, maintaining a peace for now.
Recalling Senluoâs myriad divine skills in the mind, a demon roar echoed, shaking Ning Fanâs gaze even more.
He always felt there was much to be learned from Senluoâs divine skills and secret techniques.
While pondering, Senluoâs displeased voice suddenly transmitted to his ears.
"Youngster! Have you seen enough! If you have, quickly refine the Death God Crystal to aid me in a battle against the Godly Void Pavilion!"
Reminded by Senluo, Ning Fan remembered that he still held a Death God Crystal in his hand.
Indeed, his immediate priority was to refine the Death God Crystal, not to comprehend Senluoâs divine skills and secret techniques.
He held a grudge against Godly Void Pavilion due to the toxin in the little demonessâs body, which made him feel some animosity.
He had no objections to Senluoâs plan to obliterate the Godly Void Pavilion and attack the Heavenly Prison.
His thoughts contained only one task, and that was to refine the Death God Crystal, help Senluo succeed, and afterward have Senluo detoxify the little demoness...
He had neither affection nor animosity toward Senluo, merely a relationship of interest.
He had no desire to involve himself in the vendetta between Senluo and the Godly Void Pavilion; he was merely a bystander, and nothing more.
"After refining the Death God Crystal, make some fireworks for me, hmm... a lotus pattern." Senluo instructed once more.
"Alright."
Ning Fan agreed without hesitation, immediately swallowing the Death God Crystal, slowly refining the crystal.
Beside him, the Three Revolution Dan Master chained in captivity swallowed with unease, watching Ning Fan consume the Death God Crystal, his heart full of trepidation.
He had consumed the Death God Crystal twice and understood the refining processâs perilousness and excruciating pain.
"This boy is ultimately just Ghost Immortal Realm; perhaps he cannot withstand the âMyriad Gods Devour the Heartâ of this Death God Crystal..." the Three Revolution Dan Master shook his head dismissively, quietly observing Ning Fan, hoping to see an expression of suffering on Ning Fanâs face or hear a cry of anguish from his mouth.
But he was disappointed.
After swallowing the Death God Crystal, Ning Fan sat cross-legged with closed eyes, silent and motionless.
No emotions were revealed, no sound emitted, as if he hadnât consumed the Death God Crystal at all.
"How is this possible... the danger and agony of Myriad Gods Devour the Heart, even I cannot endure, yet why can he bear it so calmly?"
The shock in the Three Revolution Dan Masterâs eyes grew increasingly intense, sensing that the ancient godâs pressure within Ning Fan was gradually rising.
...
Within his heart spirit, Ning Fan stood in a world of reversed heaven and earth.
This was a place unfamiliar to him, one he did not recognize.
The sky beneath, the earth above, he moved backward through this world, desolate and deathly quiet.
Suddenly, countless killing intents emerged from the edge of the land!
From all directions, countless towering giants marched forth with ancient steps!
Each giant bore an empty black hole within their chest!
Their hearts were long gone!
"Heart! Give me a heart..." each giant converged from all directions toward Ning Fan.
From beneath the ground, a rotten giant hand suddenly broke forth from the soil, reaching straight toward Ning Fan!
