"Do you understand the true power behind my Quasi-Emperor status?!"
As Xuan Ba threw a punch and directly killed the ancient Emperor Dapeng, the moment the words left his mouth, the Lord of Shenxu was stunned. All the countless living beings in the Shrouding the Heavens universe, who were watching the live broadcast, were equally shocked.
"This is what you're calling a Quasi-Emperor? You're telling me this monster is only a Quasi-Emperor?!"
The scalp of the Lord of Shenxu tingled as he roared inwardly.
This is madness!
A Quasi-Emperor taking down an ancient emperor with a single punch?
Are you kidding me?
Even a Red Dust Immortal isn't that terrifying!
The big black dog in Xuan Ba's arms opened its mouth in fear, its eyes nearly popping out of its sockets.
It was understandable that Shen Lian, who bore the title of Flawless Emperor, could crush two Extreme Emperors with one palm.
But Xuan Ba?
Damn it, a Quasi-Emperor just eliminated a Great Emperor?
That's insane!
"In my world, your so-called Great Emperor is at most equivalent to a mere prince."
Xuan Ba picked his nose and said with disdain.
In the vast universe he hails from, the cultivation realms are divided as follows: Refining Yin, Transforming Yang, Daoming, Slaying Dragon, Heavenly Position, Nirvana, Fenghou, Fengwang, Holy Master, Dao Zun, Quasi-Emperor, and Great Emperor.
A full dozen major realms.
The Great Emperor level in the current Shrouding the Heavens world was, at best, equivalent to a King Realm cultivator—not beyond that.
And these self-mutilating so-called Extreme Emperors, having cut off their own cultivation paths, had fallen below even the Emperor level and died at the peak of the Fengwang Realm.
Ironically, the true depth of this world lay in its history. The Red Dust Immortals, who once fought for Immortal Ascension during the older eras, were comparable to ordinary Saint Lords in Xuan Ba's realm.
It's said that some Immortal Kings still linger—the true apex existences. Based on Xuan Ba's observations, they might be on par with Dao Zuns or peak-level ones.
"Run!"
The Lord of Shenxu's eyelids twitched violently. In a flash, he activated a supreme secret technique, vanishing into the void to escape.
But a hundred million doubts surged in his mind.
Just how strong was the world where these Refining Emperors and destructive Quasi-Emperors came from?
A Quasi-Emperor capable of killing a Great Emperor with a single blow? That's beyond terrifying!
"Trying to escape? Did you ask me first?"
Xuan Ba sneered. With one stomp, he vanished and appeared directly before the fleeing Lord of Shenxu, as if teleporting.
"If I let you run, my old buddies in this universe would laugh at me."
He chuckled and threw another punch.
Boom!
In an instant, his fist was enveloped in endless destructive laws, as if all elements—earth, water, fire, and wind—were condensed into one, obliterating the Lord of Shenxu entirely.
"No!!"
The Lord of Shenxu howled in horror.
Boom!
With one punch, all was reduced to nothing.
It was ironic. The Lord of Shenxu didn't perish during the chaotic ancient era of hegemonic struggles, nor during the passage of countless years, nor on the road to Immortal Ascension—but he was killed here and now, by a single punch from Xuan Ba.
Meanwhile, in the Daluo Shenshan of the universe world—
"Xuan Ba, that guy's been following His Majesty Liandi every day. His strength may not have improved, but his bluffing skills have certainly gotten sharper."
Yuan Ye sat cross-legged on a bluestone, casually scratching his foot.
"Hehe, but honestly, the emperors in the Shrouding the Heavens world are too weak. We could send a Holy Master and wipe them all out. There's no need for His Majesty to even intervene."
Among the six Quasi-Emperors, the only female, Di Ji, said with a faint smile.
"Not necessarily."
Yuan Ye shook his head slightly and narrowed his eyes.
"This world hides immense secrets and ancient powers. Not in the present era, but deep in the ancient past. I have a hunch His Majesty Liandi's presence here isn't solely to eliminate the current wave of extreme evil."
"Oh?" Di Ji raised her eyebrows, a flicker of intrigue in her gaze.
Yuan Ye smiled and said, "Just wait. This extreme black disaster is merely the appetizer. The main course lies ahead."
Di Ji nodded thoughtfully.
In the Shrouding the Heavens universe, blood dyed the void red. Great suns fell from the sky, crashing like meteors.
Each sun symbolized the fall of an 'Emperor.'
A sight unseen since the beginning of time.
Ancient emperors of the extreme realm were falling like rain.
Even the Wushi Great Emperor, who bore the will of the people, or the once unmatched Emperor Hengyu and the sky-lotus wielding Qing Emperor, had never achieved such a massacre.
On this day, stars dimmed, suns and moons lost their light. One by one, the ancient extreme emperors fell.
Ye Heishou, Jiang Buxu, and many others were already numb with shock.
In Shen Lian's hands, these ancient emperors—once rulers over countless eras—were nothing more than helpless infants.
When the last rampaging Spirit Lord was crushed by Shen Lian, the unprecedented catastrophe of the extreme path finally ended.
But Shen Lian didn't stop.
He took a step and arrived at the Ancient God Mine—one of the Seven Forbidden Lands of Death.
Looking down on the mine, only he could see the pervasive aura of death billowing within.
This place, many epochs ago, had been Sacred Land for the human race, filled with divine minerals, life stones, enlightenment tea, and more.
But time twisted everything. Ancient emperors seized these lands, converting them into dens of death and corruption.
"This was once a pure land. Since I'm here, I'll do a good deed and clean up this filth. I'll send the Buddha to the west and crush this den in one stroke."
Shen Lian spoke casually.
If these Forbidden Lands remained, more extreme emperors would eventually rise from their shadows.
The black disaster would return.
Without hesitation, Shen Lian struck with his palm.
Boom!
The entire Eastern Wasteland quaked.
Extreme emperors hiding within the ancient mines screamed as they fled.
Shen Lian swept his gaze across them. Those who had taken part in the Black Disaster were annihilated with a flick.
As for neutral emperors like Qilin, who had remained uninvolved, Shen Lian paid them no heed.
Soon after, the Ancient God Mine—the oldest of the Forbidden Lands—was torn asunder and reduced to rubble.
Emperor Qilin and others, who had been watching outside, looked at the devastation, murmuring with trembling voices:
"Everything has changed... everything has changed..."
Their eyes were filled with awe and confusion as they stared at Shen Lian.
But he didn't stop.
With another step, Shen Lian arrived at the Buried Sky Island—another of the Seven Forbidden Lands.
He flattened it just as effortlessly.
Next were Shenling, Xianxu, Dead Mountain, Liudao Sea...
Each Forbidden Land of Death was uprooted and annihilated.
Even Shi Huang, hiding in the Undead Mountain and clad in celestial robes made of feathered azure gold, couldn't survive Shen Lian's wrath.
Finally, Shen Lian came to the Barren Ancient Forbidden Land—the last of the Seven.
But he simply stood there, staring at it with deep eyes, and for reasons unknown, left it untouched.
Thus, the great black disaster of the extreme path came to its absolute end.
With the destruction of the Forbidden Lands, the universe would remain free of extreme evil for hundreds of thousands of years.
As the people cheered and chanted 'Liandi's' name across the stars—
Shen Lian quietly arrived at Feixianxing.
Here was where the Immortal Ascension Road began.
