After nearly ten thousand years of stalemate on the front lines, the Way of Heaven finally could no longer hold back its fury. It unleashed its wrath, controlling the most powerful four Emperors of the left battle line to charge directly forward, shattering the entire city wall with their bodies.
This was the full fury of the Way of Heaven.
The Executioner Emperor returned from above, joining the other Emperors to confront the wrath of the Way of Heaven.
This was the resistance of cultivators.
There was no right or wrong, only different positions.
"Why must it come to this, with all this fighting and killing... Sigh." Yan Zi stood before the encroaching darkness, his face filled with distress. He truly did not wish to engage in mortal combat, but with the Way of Heaven hanging over his head, he was forced to kill or be killed.
The Way of Heaven, though usually lacking in intelligence, when truly angered and serious, no cultivator dared to defy it.
Yan Zi's eyes searched around until he finally found a severely injured Saint on the brink of death. With a flicker of his figure, he was already before the Saint, waving his hand and saying,
"I'll give you a painless death. Do not blame me. I hope you can be reborn into a good life next time, and end your current suffering."
The Saint could not speak, nor could he even focus his spiritual awareness.
Yan Zi then raised his hand and pressed down, erasing the cultivator's spiritual awareness without a trace of blood, marking the first cultivator he had killed on the front lines.
He turned his head to look again.
The shattered city wall was now a scene of fierce combat, with Emperors battling each other, and the towering Way of Heaven pressing down, as if the end of the world had arrived.
As Yan Zi watched, he couldn't help but think of Chen Xia. He only knew that Chen Xia had taken a direct hit from one of the four Emperors, and he wasn't sure if Chen Xia could withstand it. After all, they had spoken, so they were, in a way, friends.
Yes.
Hopefully, he's alright.
Far below the front lines.
Chen Xia's body was floating in the air, with pale white thunder coursing through him. The medicinal power of the Emperor's Elixir was spreading through his Heart Lake, continuously boosting his vitality and healing his wounds.
The Emperor's Elixir was Chen Xia's second life, and it would save him.
But it wasn't the Emperor's Elixir that was currently saving him.
It was the Celestial Dragon cocoon at the center of his Heart Lake.
The cocoon was trembling, its frequency exactly matching Chen Xia's breathing, and it was also causing the surrounding dozen or so star domains to tremble, as if it was controlling the star domains.
Since ancient times, the Universal Celestial Dragon has been able to control stars and flow through the galaxy.
But there has never been a mention of the Universal Celestial Dragon being able to control star domains, as star domains are too vast, containing tens of thousands of galaxies and countless stars.
It is said that a Universal Celestial Dragon at the Emperor level can control all the stars in a star domain, which could be considered controlling the entire star domain.
But Chen Xia's current ascension is not at the Emperor level, but at the quasi-Emperor level.
To cause a dozen star domains to tremble at the quasi-Emperor level can only mean that Chen Xia's ascension to the Ancestral Dragon species is extremely domineering.
Perhaps it is even the ancestor of the Universal Celestial Dragon species, the ancient Ancestral Dragon from the beginning of chaos, when the star domains were just forming!
Chen Xia's breathing began to quicken, and the trembling of the cocoon in his Heart Lake quickened in sync. The pale white thunder wrapped around it, as if it was the thunder naturally formed by the cocoon, or perhaps the two had merged.
The sound of a heartbeat.
Chen Xia's spiritual awareness began to recover, followed by his five senses. The first thing he sensed was his own heartbeat, like heavy drumbeats, resonating in his ears, pounding loudly.
Then came the scenes of the star domain in the void, the shattered remnants of the city wall, and the blood falling with him.
All these images seemed to be playing in slow motion in Chen Xia's eyes, and then suddenly changed color.
No.
It wasn't the scenery that had changed color.
It was Chen Xia's eyes that had changed, becoming extremely white and narrow vertical pupils, like blades, with countless lights swirling within, as if hiding countless stars.
The Celestial Dragon cocoon stopped trembling and cracked slightly, revealing a deep, profound scale.
Roar!
A thunderous dragon roar echoed from the void, so loud that even the Emperors fighting on the front lines heard it.
Yan Zi frowned and looked down, his face puzzled, but not for long, as he soon became shocked.
A giant, star domain-sized, extremely white vertical pupil stared at him from the void below.
It only stared for a moment before suddenly disappearing.
This left Yan Zi somewhat stunned, shaking his head, wondering if he had imagined it, if it had just been a hallucination.
He had just thought that when he heard the dragon roar again, frowning and looking down once more.
Bang!
A streak of extremely white light had already shot out, crushing a remnant of an Emperor, and then stopped, halting at the shattered city wall.
Yan Zi was stunned.
It was Chen Xia!
He frowned again, feeling that it didn't quite seem like Chen Xia, especially with that ancient dragon species aura, reminiscent of some distant great dragon.
Could it be that he had broken through again, becoming a four-path quasi-Emperor?
But did the breaking of the dragon species really cause such a big commotion? This didn't seem right.
Yan Zi was still pondering.
Chen Xia's eyes moved, focusing on a remnant of an Emperor, his extremely white vertical pupils glowing, with pale white thunder accompanying him.
His figure instantly disappeared, grabbing the remnant Emperor's head, and before the Emperor could struggle, a burst of extremely white Ancestral Dragon light erupted from his palm.
The remnant Emperor let out a scream, quickly forming a spell with both hands, using a fleeing secret technique, turning his body into a cloud of mist, instantly flowing towards the distance.
But it was useless.
Chen Xia had caught up, even matching the speed of the Emperor's escape.
So the Emperor's head was once again in his grasp.
"What a coincidence," Chen Xia chuckled, the light in his extremely white vertical pupils flashing once more. Without the Immortal Sword, he was already capable of slaying ordinary Emperors.
His ascension to the ancient dragon species came with a brief introduction, called the Ancestral Dragon of Star Domains, which from a bloodline perspective, was the ancestor of the Universal Celestial Dragon.
Regarding the Ancestral Dragon of Star Domains, the system had a brief prompt:
【Star Domain's strongest, ultimate in power and speed, invincible within the star domain, body large enough to swallow a star domain, brutal enough to devour the void.】
In short, it was invincible.
Chen Xia estimated that just with the power of the Ancestral Dragon of Star Domains, he could match an ordinary Emperor, and with the addition of the pale white thunder, he could easily slay ordinary Emperors.
If he also had the Immortal Sword and the Time Dao, his brute strength would be comparable to that of a three-path Emperor.
Chen Xia had essentially gained four top-tier Daos, and the Ancestral Dragon of Star Domains was still growing. By the time he reached Emperor level, what kind of monster he would cultivate was beyond imagination.
Hu.
A light exhale of Ancestral Dragon breath.
Chen Xia turned his head to look at Yan Zi, asking, "Do you want to stop me?"
"The Way of Heaven is watching, so I have to try," Yan Zi replied helplessly, seeing Chen Xia's fighting intent. He quickly added,
“Just stop it, don’t really kill me.”
"Fists have no eyes," Chen Xia replied.
The comparison of strength between a four-path quasi-Emperor and a three-path Emperor began with Chen Xia and Yan Zi's battle.
The surrounding Emperors fought fiercely among themselves, falling into the void, while the Way of Heaven descended. They saw the main battle line where five-path Emperors transformed into the brightest streaks of light, rushing forward and illuminating the endless void with their Daos.
The moment of the five-path Emperors' self-sacrifice was even comparable to the Way of Heaven.
The towering heavenly light hesitated.
Chen Xia drew his sword.
His four paths were the most outstanding in the world, also the pinnacle of the four paths throughout ancient and modern times!
Moving graves is indeed a troublesome affair, with many considerations, such as killing a rooster, wrapping it in red cloth. It was quite an eye-opener, and I felt a bit bittersweet, thinking that the next book could be about a rural Taoist priest.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
