Chapter 579 The Emperor!
The vast and boundless river of time and space manifested from nothingness, surging and churning for billions of miles. The time and space trajectories of the past, present, and future were violently shaken, and endless Dao patterns exploded and vanished.
"As you wish."
In the center of the river of time and space, a tall and majestic figure in white slowly materialized and appeared in the world.
He stood in the river of time, the water flowing past him, yet it did not wet the hem of his clothes.
Time may rush by beneath his feet, but it cannot shake his figure.
Its sound is vast and boundless, encompassing the past and present, spreading from the highest heavens and the depths of the river of time, permeating the entire universe, omnipresent and reaching everywhere.
Its form soars above the stars, its spirit overlooks eternity.
He stands in the three realms of past, present, and future, his figure traversing countless ages, omnipresent and ever-present.
The seven ancient kings looked up and saw a handsome and dignified young man in black robes and with black hair, standing with his hands behind his back.
"This is... how is this possible!"
Upon seeing this figure, the pupils of the Seven Ancient Kings simultaneously contracted in shock.
Because they witnessed a scene that shattered their worldview.
That figure was omnipresent; in the past, they had seen him standing at the origin of chaos.
Now, they see him standing in the middle of the river of time.
In the future, they will see him sitting cross-legged at the end of time.
Moreover, no matter where they looked, there were countless versions of him looking at them at the same time.
The young man looked down at them as if they were ants.
Its gaze traversed countless ages and penetrated all illusions, indifferently watching the seven terrified ancient kings.
At this moment, even the most murderous aura in the world, like that of a demon, was completely suppressed, and his heart was filled with turbulent waves.
Moreover, his sword was trembling, trembling with fear and despair. This divine weapon, which had never trembled since the beginning of time, was now emitting a low, mournful cry.
Song Chengbu took two steps back, his face pale and his lips trembling.
The other four kings were ashen-faced and stiff-bodied. Some were sweating profusely, and some had trembling fingers.
Even the usually composed and domineering Xiang Yu was now wide-eyed, completely stunned, his face filled with disbelief.
He gripped his halberd, its tip lowered, and murmured, "How is this possible... how can there be such a powerful person..."
Throughout the ages, among all the gods and demons, never before has anyone brought them such a bone-chilling, despairing, and overwhelming sense of oppression.
However, upon seeing the newcomer, all beings in both the human and celestial realms erupted in excitement.
"This is... Jiang Zu? Jiang Zu has arrived!"
"Jiang Zu? The Jiang Zu who passed down the practice of using one's own body as a seed?"
"It's him, the one from Tianfeng Academy. I've studied his techniques!"
Countless cultivators from the mortal realm, celestial beings, and powerful figures from all sides were moved to tears, their bodies trembling as they shouted loudly.
They were extremely excited; some knelt down and kowtowed, while others were moved to tears.
Over the years, Jiang Hao has spread his teachings throughout the six realms without reservation.
His creation, which uses the body as a seed of the Great Dao, transcends the shackles of traditional martial arts and magic, overturns the ancient cultivation system, and is the strongest supreme lineage in the world.
Nine out of ten geniuses in the human realm cultivate this path, which is already recognized as the number one holy method in the world, surpassing magic and martial arts.
Everyone knows Jiang Zu's fame, but no one has ever seen him in his full glory.
Previously, everyone only knew that Jiang Hao possessed extraordinary magical powers and bestowed blessings upon the world.
Only when they witnessed this supreme figure that spanned eternity and dominated time and space did everyone realize the truth.
Their perception of Jiang Zu is far from even a fraction of his true self.
"Even the Seven Ancient Kings were completely intimidated; Jiang Zu's strength is truly unfathomable!"
"Now we can finally relax."
Countless cultivators wept with joy, and the suffocating despair that had been weighing on their hearts dissipated in an instant.
Those cultivators who had practiced the new method felt a surge of pride.
"Jiang Zu is actually this strong. He truly lives up to his name."
"Yes, look at the expressions of the Seven Ancient Kings, they're all afraid!"
"Is everything alright now? Jiang Zu is stronger than them, right?"
"Probably. Judging from the scene and their reactions, Jiang Zu is absolutely invincible."
Hope was rekindled in everyone's hearts.
Those powerful god-kings and god-emperors, especially those who had not cultivated the new method, stood in the void at this moment, their expressions complex, filled with shock and regret.
They had naturally heard of Jiang Hao's teachings and witnessed the true meaning of the Daoist lineage, which used the body as a seed.
Because he had already reached a certain level of spiritual attainment and was very self-important, he stubbornly clung to the old ways of cultivation and refused to change to new methods.
Witnessing Jiang Hao's unparalleled divine might, which allowed him to reign supreme throughout the ages and suppress even the most powerful celestial beings, the crowd was filled with immense regret and turmoil.
"So... this Jiang Zu is truly terrifying."
"If we had put aside our arrogance and followed his teachings back then, we wouldn't be so insignificant and humble today."
"Too late to regret missing such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Meanwhile, the Dharma Ancestor and the Demon Ancestor stood aside, watching all of this with smiles.
Master Fa stroked his beard and chuckled softly, "I told you, we're here to save you. You didn't believe me? Well, now look what's happened. This guy's here to get a beating."
The Demon Ancestor shook his head, his golden vertical pupils filled with emotion: "This Jiang Ancestor... is even stronger than the legends say."
Chen Bei and Xiao Yu knelt on the ground, covered in blood, but their eyes shone with an unprecedented light.
Chen Bei gritted his teeth and propped himself up, his voice hoarse but filled with excitement: "Teacher Jiang... Teacher Jiang is here."
Xiao Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "I knew Senior Jiang wouldn't abandon us."
The two looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes.
Although Senior Jiang did not accept them as disciples, they felt that he was no different from their master, so they always considered themselves to be Senior Jiang's successors.
Today, when they are on the verge of collapse and their souls are about to perish, Jiang Hao breaks through time and space to come and support them.
When Senior Jiang appeared at this moment, so powerful, they were somewhat shocked.
But it wasn't too surprising, because as their cultivation level increased, they were able to better appreciate the power of the Heavenly Emperor Scripture.
It's only natural that someone who can create such a method is powerful.
Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Chu, took a deep breath, suppressing his shock. He looked at the figure in the center of the river of time and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
"emperor."
The voice was calm and even, yet each single word seemed to descend from the heavens, and the laws of the six realms roared together, as if an unparalleled celestial emperor was pressing down on the mortal world.
Chu Bawang and his men trembled violently, their hearts filled with shock. This person was too terrifying; the mere sound of his voice made them feel as if they were about to pass away.
Then the Seven Ancient Kings frowned. An Emperor? They had never heard of him. Throughout the ages, they had never heard of such a person.
They traversed the ancient past, explored countless secrets, and were familiar with the names of all the strongest beings in the heavens, yet they had never heard of this particular supreme being.
Jiang Hao's gaze was slightly indifferent as he spoke softly.
"Who I am is unimportant. Weren't you looking for me the whole time?"
The King of Chu's pupils contracted, instantly grasping the key point, and he pressed for an answer in a deep voice.
"Are you the one who passed down that mysterious cultivation method?"
Jiang Hao nodded slightly.
"I spread my teachings throughout the world, and all laws are universally applicable. All sentient beings with the right affinity can cultivate. However, you, who were once powerful Heaven-ranked experts who fought against the heavens, have now stooped to bullying two juniors at the Divine Emperor level. The so-called Seven Ancient Kings, I am very disappointed."
