Chapter 1579: Terrifying Upheaval

The Emperor's immortal artifact, the Green Bronze Cauldron, appeared and plunged into the chaotic void! No one had expected such an astonishing scene to unfold. Although the ancient Heavenly Court had collapsed, its descendants still remained, forming an incredibly powerful organization that even dared to slay the Celestial Venerable Longevity!

Today, a series of events unfolded, each a cataclysm that shocked the ages, leaving people dumbfounded and speechless.

The Immortal Ascension Cave was torn apart, completely exploding. The path to immortality was truly severed, as the immortal artifact, the Green Bronze Cauldron, had disintegrated, burning and shattering in this very spot! This was an astonishing turn of events. No one had imagined that someone would dare to kill even an ancient supreme being; this transcended the world's understanding and was truly shocking.

Throughout history, who would dare to do this? Only an ancient great emperor, resurrected and at their peak, would possess such audacity to attack a forbidden zone. Clearly, the Heavenly Court lineage seized this opportunity with incredible precision. Celestial Venerable Longevity was at his weakest point, on the verge of demise, and located within the most terrifying chaotic void. Allowing an immortal artifact to disintegrate unleashed unimaginable power; nothing in this place remained, everything was pulverized into dust.

The several ancient supreme beings also no longer stood there, for this era was nearing its end, and the path to immortality no longer held any meaning! First, eleven supreme beings made their move, then Emperor Wushi threw the Undying Daoist to fill the Flying Immortal Cave, and later, the Buddhist Mount Meru, existing for eons, exploded into oblivion. This path was already destined to be destroyed.

At this moment, it could no longer withstand the force; it turned into dust, ceasing to exist. Various immortal lights fluttered, and a rain of light, like boundless stars, scattered in all directions.

More than half of the people from beyond the domain immediately fled. Those who had reached such a realm could traverse the universe, and none were mere brigands; they all sensed something was amiss. Most, whether patriarchs or ancient sages, had vanished. Only those whose lifespans were depleted and who were nearing their end remained. They were truly unwilling to give up, knowing that even if they left now, they would only perish along the way.

The Green Bronze Cauldron disintegrated; it was originally composed of fragments, which now separated once more, exploding in all directions. Its power was immense; if not for the several supreme beings standing here, let alone Beidou, even the surrounding star fields would have been pulverized. Even so, various lights fluttered, rushing in all directions; some fell into the hands of ancient supreme beings, while others vanished directly into the depths of the dark universe. Piece after piece of ancient bronze scattered in this manner!

"The Heavenly Court has collapsed. This artifact can no longer be whole; keeping it is useless. It might as well send you on your way!" In the cold universe, a voice filled with chilling malice spoke, revealing a deep-seated hatred. To kill the former master of the Underworld and annihilate Celestial Venerable Longevity, they would not hesitate to even let the Green Bronze Cauldron disintegrate. Their hatred was truly deeper than the ocean.

Boom! A massive, terrifying wave surged forth. Celestial Venerable Longevity was covered in blood, tattered, and almost shapeless, on the verge of complete annihilation of body and soul. This was an ancient supreme being, and to suffer such severe injuries was simply unimaginable. However, he was still not dead; he stubbornly survived, shocking everyone. Truly worthy of being the Celestial Venerable who created the "Zhe" secret art, his ability to endure such a long period of time was not without reason. His vital energy was no longer vigorous, but it was still burning, repairing his body and healing his injuries.

With a soft hum, the sun star extinguished, and streams of primordial essence surged forth, entering Celestial Venerable Longevity's body to heal his wounds. The remaining people from beyond the domain were shocked, realizing that Beidou would have no more daylight from then on! The Green Bronze Cauldron was known as an immortal ascension artifact; although only one-third of it remained, it was still terrifying to the extreme. The power of its complete explosion was unimaginable; any number of quasi-emperors who came would surely die, enough to fill the pit of ten thousand. However, the supreme being from the mythical era endured! Even when in the Flying Immortal Cave, and even though he was nearly exhausted before, he remained terrifyingly powerful, demonstrating to the world what it meant to be a supreme being!

"Boom!" Celestial Venerable Longevity repaired his injured body, allowing his nearly severed torso to reassemble. He stepped out of the chaotic zone, his eyes so cold they could freeze the universe. His eyes gleamed with cold light; although his lifespan was limited, he remained peerlessly powerful and was about to head beyond the domain to slay the "remnants" of the Heavenly Court.

"Oom!" A surging golden vital energy rose, blocking Celestial Venerable Longevity. The Great Accomplished Saint Body stepped forward and coldly said, "My life is short, and you have reached this point too. A battle now would not be taking advantage of you!"

Throughout the ages, battles between supreme beings have been extremely rare, occurring only during the dark eras, with even fewer exposed to the eyes of the world. Yet now, a battle was about to unfold.

The white-clad woman made her move; she shattered chaos with a single palm strike, completely destroying the path to immortality. Standing there alone, mist swirling around her, she appeared peerlessly ethereal. The next moment, the several ancient supreme beings all departed from this place, rushing out of the terrifying chaotic storm zone, because everything here had ended. The Desolate Lord was no exception; his robes fluttered like a flying immortal as he ascended to the sky above the Southern Domain.

"Dong!" The Wushi Bell chimed, its sound echoing through the eight directions of the universe. It did the opposite, surprisingly suppressing itself and entering the great rift of the shattered Immortal Path, filling it. "What is it... doing? Is it going to permanently suppress the Immortal Path?!" people beyond the domain exclaimed, filled with confusion. Even the several supreme beings who survived were startled, their eyes then becoming unfathomable. Their bodies were shrouded in mist, covering their forms, making their expressions unreadable.

"Northern Domain!" "Purple Mountain!" "Wushi Scripture!" Some people beyond the domain reacted quickly, rushing directly towards the Eastern Wasteland, eager to reach the Ancient Emperor Mountain in the Northern Domain, where countless secrets lay, which everyone desired to obtain. Unfortunately, it was already too late. A brilliant immortal light erupted, and a massive stone scripture tore through the universe, carrying with it a crystalline skull as it pierced the sky and departed. Besides that, there was also a brilliant immortal phoenix, its plumage bright and astonishingly beautiful. It spread its wings and soared high, disappearing with the scripture into the cosmic frontier! A supreme being wanted to make a move, but the Wushi Bell roared, shaking out a massive ripple that instantly blocked them, preventing their success. Other supreme beings' eyes gleamed, but unfortunately, it was ultimately too late. That stone scripture possessed chaotic energy, shrouded in mist, capable of isolating everything and preventing any divination. Moreover, it emanated an Emperor's aura and had completely vanished with the immortal phoenix.

"Heavens, that's the Wushi Scripture, and it just flew away!" someone beyond the domain exclaimed, filled with regret. Such a scripture, renowned throughout history and never before read, presented a rare opportunity today, but they still failed to obtain it.

Purple Mountain was torn apart; after standing for eons, it finally collapsed, with mountains falling and the earth cracking. The scene was desolate.

"That immortal phoenix... it must be the Divine Phoenix Immortal Medicine!" "Indeed, that must be the Undying Immortal Medicine that once accompanied Emperor Wushi, and it also flew away with the stone scripture!" This deepened the regret, and at the same time, people understood why some ancient supreme beings were moved: even if the immortal medicine's properties greatly diminished after one use and could no longer play a major role, it was still believed to have some effect on those whose lives were nearing their end.

"Dong..." The Wushi Bell suppressed itself and landed on the Immortal Path. As the dark great rifts closed, accompanied by the last lingering chime, it completely vanished within them. This meant that the Wushi Bell would never be seen in the world again! Everyone witnessed the final scene: the Wushi Bell blocked the chaotic void, disappearing with the Immortal Path, never to reappear.

"It ended just like this!" Everyone let out a mournful sigh.

"The Burial Emperor Star, what is the Burial Emperor Star? Now, it has received its most complete interpretation!" The Celestial Venerables of the mythical era, the Emperors of the primordial era, the Great Emperors of the desolate ancient era, and the divine fetuses of sacred spirits, all were buried here. The seven great forbidden zones were indeed seven great tombs! The Burial Emperor Star lived up to its name, and its current ending also matched it perfectly.

"Clang!" The Great Accomplished Saint Body faced off against Celestial Venerable Longevity. This was astonishing regardless; he used his peerlessly powerful fists to clash directly with the Longevity Sword, and the emitted brilliance shook the entire universe.

"Why aren't you leaving yet? Do you want to become someone else's food?!" roared the Great Accomplished Saint Body, shattering the void beyond the domain. This was a warning that terrified the people outside the firmament, making them feel a chill from head to toe. Sensing imminent disaster, they said not a word and fled for their lives. The formation platforms glowed. Domain gates opened, and various magic formations revived, as all the powerful individuals traversed star fields, beginning their escape. In just a moment, not many people remained beyond the domain; almost all cultivators had fled. Only the old, the weak, and those whose life force was fading were unwilling to leave, wishing to be buried in this place.

The Great Accomplished Saint Body and Celestial Venerable Longevity confronted each other. An unprecedented supreme-level battle was about to erupt! Within their eyes were terrifying and astonishing scenes of the universe being destroyed and then recreated. Not long ago, powerful figures gathered beyond the domain, but in the blink of an eye, it was desolate, with only old, disheartened cultivators remaining.

The Stone Emperor, covered in blood and clad in black armor, stood tall and majestic, like a black mountain, suffocating those around him. Holding the Heavenly Desolation Halberd, he muttered coldly and mercilessly, "It's useless. What difference does an early or late moment make? Even fleeing to the cosmic frontier is useless!" "This is a feast. Ancient supreme beings have emerged; everything will be rewritten. This is what the world calls the Dark Era, and this time, it will be the greatest in history!" "I don't want to die yet. I'll borrow your life essence to delay the expansion of the cracks on my cultivation platform!"

Except for Celestial Venerable Longevity, who was confronting the Great Accomplished Saint Body, the other five supreme beings all looked indifferent. Like towering demon walls, they stood across, their pressure threatening to shatter the primeval universe. These cold voices spread throughout the eight directions, shaking the areas beyond the domain, making every soul tremble, chilling them from head to toe, with a biting cold in their very bones. It was too terrifying; the remaining ancient supreme beings were about to unleash the most terrifying dark turmoil in history! The curtain falling on the Immortal Path was not the end of the storm, but the beginning of the truly most terrifying upheaval; the most horrifying catastrophe in history was just about to unfold!

Everyone realized that the terrible premonition they had felt earlier was not without cause; the greatest upheaval was not the Immortal Path, but the dark turmoil that was about to arrive once more! All the saints had fled, but was it useful? For a supreme being, a few steps could take them to the cosmic frontier; no matter where one went, they couldn't escape this era, as long as they still lived in the world.

"Dong!" A supreme being lifted their foot and stepped forward. This time, they were no longer as restrained as they were on the Immortal Path; their supreme aura spread everywhere, sweeping across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, causing all stars to tremble. And at this moment, the Beidou Starfield directly collapsed, the Burial Emperor Star torn apart! And this was just the beginning!
