Chapter 2004 - World Eradication Elder

In a dull and lonely expanse of the cosmos, it was ice-cold and dark. After millions and millions of years, there wasn’t the slightest aura, yet today, things changed.

A ruined corpse suddenly opened its eyes, the radiance penetrating the great universe. The two streaks of radiance were even more intimidating than immortal swords, just too sharp.

When one watched from the distance, it was as if two streaks of lightning erupted in the darkness, shattering the peace.

After he said those words, he slowly got up, silently looking in this direction. His entire withered body gradually recovered life force, recovering the characteristics of the living.

He only had a single leg, the other foot also lacking a sole, moreover single-armed as well, quite broken. The hair on his head was dried yellow like wild grass. His entire existence gave off an extremely ancient feeling, as if he had experienced the accumulation of time.

Weng!

He raised his only arm, shaking the great cosmos. Then, he pointed in a certain direction.

With a 

hong

 noise, in the depths of the Land of Darkness, within an ancient land where blood flowed, an arm moved. It suddenly rose, passing through the realm wall and appearing here.

Then, with a 

peng 

noise, that dried-up arm connected with the elder’s body, becoming whole again.

At the same time, in the depths of Realm Sea, great waves rushed into the heavens. A broken leg that carried blood tore apart the skies, disappearing from that place. This made Shi Hao’s mind tremble.

Hong!

In this dull and lonely cosmos, an elder connected his broken leg.

Then, the endless void split, forming streak after streak of terrifying black cracks, unknown where they led to. With a 

hong

 noise, a sole flew over from that place, connecting to his ruined body, completing his body.

On his body were old black clothes. Even though the body was ruined, unknown just how many great eras it had floated through the cosmos for, the black clothes were still there.

There were traces of blood on the surface of his clothes, full of holes. Judging from its appearance, it was extremely old. At this time, it revived with his body, the ruined cloth fluttered about and then released sky overflowing black mist.

In that instant, this entire region was covered by black clouds.

This was darkness source matter that was thick to the point of not dissolving.

In the darkness, his body couldn’t even be seen anymore. There was only a wizened skinny outline. However, the pupils instead became even more brilliant, like two small suns in the darkness, blinding and horrifying.

Immediately afterwards, he began to move. He passed through the void and smashed through realm walls, carrying endless power, descending upon Realm Sea.

In that instant, Realm Sea surged. Then, great waves rushed in all directions, engulfing towards the heavens.

When this elder descended upon this place, the seas erupted, forced to rush in all directions. That place was about to dry up, lacking ocean water. His black clothes fluttered about, everything in his way destroyed.

A sphere of black light swirled about. His aura became extremely terrifying.

It was precisely because of this that there was nothing near him. Even the Realm Sea region below was about to dry up!

The elder descended, his pressure suppressing everything!

This creature suddenly appeared, leaving Shi Hao with no choice but to defend himself. This elder had boundless and immeasurable darkness force, he was extremely powerful.

At this time, Feather Emperor, Grand Emperor and Gray Emperor’s situations were extremely bad. Their bodies had been blown apart by Shi Hao several times, cutting apart their souls from time to time as well, wishing to truly end them.

When they saw this elder, the three emperors dragged their ruined bodies, staggering in retreat, rushing in that direction.

“Senior!”

Gray Emperor spoke, actually using this type of address.

Grand Emperor was also extremely polite, also calling out ‘senior’.

Feather Emperor was arrogant and prideful, only cupping his hands, not calling this individual senior, but one could see how shocking this person’s identity was, even the three great half immortal emperors attached so much importance to him.

“We are merely those of the same path, why is there a need to be like this.” The elder said with a nod.

His power was magnificent. When he descended here, the pressure made Realm Sea surge, distant waves overflowed into the heavens, continuously striking against the sky dome. Darkness force spread through the universe.

He made all of Realm Sea turn into a black color.

The elder was rather polite, treating Grand Emperor, Gray Emperor and Feather Emperor as equals, not putting on airs.

“Senior, you are the first emperor since the world’s creation, while we came after. We naturally need to remain respectful.” Gray Emperor said.

Shi Hao heard these words clearly. In reality, behind the dam, some of Immortal Domain’s immortal kings also heard this, all of them couldn’t help but suck in cold air.

The first emperor since world creation? This origin was just too terrifying.

“We are all half immortal emperors, all of us are the same.” The elder said.

Then, he looked towards Shi Hao and said, “Why is there a need? At your level, what can’t you let go of? For the sake of some insects, is it worth it? You and I are the true similar level individuals, there is only this small number of half immortal emperor level individuals. Why is there a need to massacre one another?”

“You’ve already cut off all humanity, self claiming to have transcended above. I am not willing to speak more with you!” Shi Hao replied with an ice-cold voice.

“If the number of years you experience becomes long enough, you will be able to let everything go. What seven emotions six desires, what homeland to reminisce about, what hatred and madness? All of this can be easily laughed off. The great dao is ruthless, in the end, creatures like you and I need to cut off all emotions and desires. Not being able to let things go is only because you are still young. After experiencing the baptism of time, after your heart experiences the vicissitudes of time, the things you used to care about and attached importance to, all of it will go up into smoke and flames. At that time, you will understand that only our dao is everlasting.” The elder was extremely calm as he said this.

“That is you, not me!” Shi Hao suddenly looked towards him, feeling like this elder was a terrifying figure.

The elder shook his head. “You and I are the same, the same as Gray Emperor, Grand Emperor and Feather Emperor. Only we can stay together, explore the path of Immortal Emperor Realm together.”

“The past Feather Emperor, Grand Emperor and Gray Emperor, which one of them didn’t have endless heirs and powerful clans, who among them didn’t establish imperishable great sects and inheritances? But in the end, what happened to them? They were all flowers in a mirror, moons reflected in lakes. Dust returns to dust, earth to earth, some even wiped out by them personally!” The elder said.

These words left Shi Hao’s mind a bit shocked, making his expression increasingly cold. He didn’t want to say anything else.

“Senior, he is about to break through.” Grand Emperor warned.

“He won’t be able to break through. He is just undergoing rebirth, producing an immortal core, or perhaps becoming a bit more complete, could be said to have taken a step, one foot into Immortal Emperor Realm. However, in the end, all of his hopes and efforts will come to nothing, just like me that year.” The elder said.

“This is the same as your respected self back then?” Gray Emperor was shocked.

The reason he was respectful was because he understood well how terrifying this elder was. He knew that this individual previously almost became an immortal emperor.

Grand Emperor and the others carried restraining fear towards him precisely because of this.

It was rumored that this elder previously broke through, but at the final moments, almost had his body and dao extinguished, so he sealed himself up.

At the same time, this elder was also their ‘guide’. For the sake of achieving immortal emperor status, they resolutely cast themselves into darkness, wishing to find a breakthrough point through it.

It was because they already tried out every other path, but couldn’t take even half a step forward.

Meanwhile, the darkness source allowed them to advance a bit, see hope on this path, becoming their own glimmer of light.

“Seeing radiance within darkness is comparatively speaking much easier.” These were the words the elder spoke before.

“Do you really think I won’t be able to break through just because you say I won’t?!” Shi Hao didn’t believe this. Right now, the old skin outside his body completely separated, producing a sparkling immortal body.

Immortal blood flowed within his body, bright red and brilliant. Not only did he revive, his magical force became even more vigorous, his power surging beyond comparison. Even his hair was sparkling like Immortal Gold.

Right now, when his pupils opened and closed, there was soul shocking power that swirled about, even making Gray Emperor’s expression change a bit. He became extremely fearful.

“Your path has reached its end. If you forcefully continue, you will only perish.” The black clad elder said, his expression serious, eyes deep.

Shi Hao didn’t pay him any attention. It was hard for anyone else to shake his own beliefs. His aura was surging, killing intent erupting, still insisting on killing Feather Emperor and the others.

Hong!

Shi Hao took action. He condensed a fist imprint, looking down on the world under the sky. Even if this elder was deep and immeasurable, he still pushed forward, attacking Feather Emperor, Grand Emperor and Gray Emperor.

In that instant, Realm Sea was wiped out, large amounts of the ocean region drying up.

All of this was under the power of Shi Hao’s fist, completely annihilated. An expanse of a ruined world appeared with each wave, but they disappeared without a trace just like that, returning to primal chaos.

The dazzling fist radiance illuminated the past, present and future!

Grand Emperor, Gray Emperor and Feather Emperor were all shocked. With their current states, how could they possibly stop this?!

“Youngster, I will let you see this old one’s path back then. It is just as far as you have gone, but it is still a dead path in the end.” The elder said, shaking his head.

Hong!

He released a palm. It was pitch-black like ink, blocking Shi Hao.

Within it was his dao, his magic. His unmatched fighting strength was displayed. With a turn of his hand, even the heavens themselves were about to be overturned.

The scenes reflected there were the events of the past.

The elder had indeed undergone a transformation, but he borrowed darkness force, his source pitch-black like ink. He was just like Shi Hao, undergoing a transformation, yet producing a darkness body.

The power was different, but the situation was similar.

In the end, when he wanted to break through and become an immortal emperor, his body broke apart inch by inch, his primordial spirit also like this, mysteriously heading towards destruction.

Shi Hao watched coldly, unshaken. “You are you, I am myself. They’ve already erased their humanity for the sake of pursuing the dao, willing to advance through any means fair or foul, but I still have flesh, still have blood, still the same.”

These words made Feather Emperor, Grand Emperor and Gray Emperor’s faces change.

“Being young is good, arrogant, full of vigor, hot tears still able to trickle down your cheeks. However, in the end, it is still nothing.” The elder shook his head, saying this with a sigh. “The great dao has always been ruthless. If you aren’t willing to use any means possible, how can you achieve the dao, become an immortal emperor?!”

“The great dao is ruthless, but it also has emotions! It all depends on what you yourself want to give up on. All of you have your own paths, I have mine!” Shi Hao faced him coldly and said, “Furthermore, you never even became an immortal emperor, so how can you point fingers and criticize like this? I am not those three!” Shi Hao pointed at Gray Emperor and the others.

Shi Hao’s fist imprints didn’t stop either, smashing out again.

With a 

wenglong

 noise, darkness power surged. The elder took action again, using similar unmatched power. His old skin was also cracking, about to produce a darkness core again.

After a great collision, gray mist spread throughout Realm Sea. A vast body of water surged, this region completely drying up. Dried up ocean depths could be seen.

There was a reef and primal chaos, as well as immortal bones that had remained sunken for millions and millions of years.

“Dao friend obstinately persists on going about things the wrong way. Do you know that doing this is stopping our paths? The more darkness people there are, the greater the Land of Darkness’ origin force, only this way can grant us an opportunity to break through. In the end, you are the same as us, so why is there a need to do this? You will understand it sooner or later.” The elder said.

However, his palm was ruthless, destroying the heavens and wiping out the earth, domineering beyond comparison. His strength was just too powerful, enough to face the current even stronger Shi Hao!

“In that case, dao friend, we will help you set your resolve by wiping out this world!” The elder said.

With a 

hong

 noise, he sent a palm smashing out towards Immortal Domain, wishing to completely turn this place into a land of death, turn it into an eternal ruined earth, wipe out all traces of life.

“You dare?!” Shi Hao roared out.

“I am the World Eradication Elder, my palm obliterates worlds, I lost track of how many times this has happened already.” The elder said calmly.

Shi Hao felt that this elder was strange right from the start, full of mysterious power. His origins might be shockingly terrifying, not as simple as he claimed to be.

However, Shi Hao didn’t feel fear, directly facing him head-on.

“These are three Emperor Pills I spent a lifetime meticulously creating. You all should quickly ingest them, recover, and then head into Immortal Domain, wipe it out, cut short this dao friend’s remaining attachments. He will understand in the end.” World Eradication Elder said.

He produced three pills, sending them towards the three half immortal emperors. They seemed to be refined from Darkness Immortal Gold, flickering with dark radiance. An enticing fragrance was wafting out from their sparkling appearance.

After the three half immortal emperors received the pills, they all pressed forward, killing intent erupting.

“You all dare?!”

Shi Hao shouted out. At the same time, he cut these four great experts off, not allowing them to step into the world behind the dam.

“

En? 

Someone is coming!” Feather Emperor’s brows furrowed.

World Eradication Elder also suddenly turned around, looking towards the great river of time. He couldn’t help but reveal a strange expression!
