The Nine Emperor Road Gates, each gate is firmly sealed by the Power of Laws from the Heavenly Dao and the Great Emperors born on this continent.
These seals open once every twenty thousand years, leading directly to the core of the Heavenly Dao, confirming one’s destiny and achieving the position of a Great Emperor.
However, the checkpoints that Chang Qing knows of are somewhat different from this place.
The Nine Emperor Road Gates open once every twenty thousand years.
But here, since the era of the Martial Ancestor, it has remained in a sealed state!
Not until the world’s heaven and earth fully resurrected, could the Azure Lotus and suppressed demons emerge.
"These demons cannot be allowed to escape..."
Chang Qing muttered to himself, his eyes filled with seriousness.
There are too many demons suppressed here.
Moreover, the old man in front seems to have an extremely terrifying origin.
If even the extremely powerful ones are disregarded, then what realm is this old man at?
A Great Emperor from the past who proved their Dao?
Or perhaps, an existence surpassing the extremely powerful ones?
Chang Qing couldn’t see through it, and all he can do now is strengthen the seal and completely close off these demons!
"Hahaha, little brat, now that we have awakened, there is no one in this world who can trap us!"
"Not you, nor this Azure Lotus!"
The old man laughed ferociously, and an immense dark aura surged skyward.
And deep within the earth, countless demons exerted their strength, causing even the Azure Lotus to tremble precariously.
The divine nature of the Azure Lotus is boundless, and without unexpected incidents, it could suppress these demons until the end of time.
However, the resurrection of the Primordial World has siphoned off too much of this Azure Lotus’s strength.
The loss of the Genesis Source made the Azure Lotus’s seal crack.
Now, with numerous demons exerting their strength together, the massive lotus body of the Azure Lotus shook gently, teetering on the brink.
"Hahaha, once we are unleashed, darkness will engulf everything!"
The old man’s wanton laughter echoed throughout the entire firmament.
The once-clear sky gradually filled with endless darkness, consuming this world.
Yet at this moment...
"Hmph!"
Chang Qing snorted coldly, striding into the air above the Azure Lotus and stomping down heavily.
Boom!
The entire Primordial World trembled violently, and an infinite force surged in from all directions.
The force gathered from the whole world instantly stabilized the quaking Azure Lotus.
The sky, infiltrated by darkness, instantaneously transformed back to clarity.
"How is this possible!"
The old man looked at Chang Qing with eyes full of disbelief, "A mere Divine Skill insect, how could you stop us!"
To him, it wasn’t just the Divine Skill, even if a Great Emperor personally came, so what?
The power accumulated over countless ages, the simultaneous effort of endless demons, even if the contemporary Great Emperor came, they would have to retreat.
But just now...
Faced with that world-toppling horror pressure, the power they gathered was torn apart as easily as fragile fabric.
Such an unparalleled power left them with no possibility of resistance.
And this, was actually brought about by a mere cultivator of the Divine Skill Realm!
"No, that’s not right!"
The old man seemed to realize something, glancing at the world before him, then at Chang Qing,
"A perfected Heaven and Earth Divine Body!"
"You... have become the Heavenly Dao of this world!"
The Martial Ancestor, for the continuation of the bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Races, to seal endless demons, did not hesitate to transform his body into the heavens and earth.
Using the heavens and earth as a cradle, nurturing the fire of the Ten Thousand Races.
Using his body as shackles, sealing endless demons.
These events were personally experienced by him, so he naturally understood how terrifying the Martial Ancestor was back then.
He truly almost single-handedly annihilated darkness.
He thought that after countless ages, the Martial Ancestor had long perished, and no one in this world could stop them.
But who would have thought, the youth before him, with a perfected Heaven and Earth Divine Body, actually became the Heavenly Dao of this realm!
The Heavenly Dao!
That means, in this world, no one is a match for this youth, not even if a Great Emperor descended.
"You have stolen the Martial Ancestor’s Dao fruit!"
In an instant, the old man understood that as long as Chang Qing existed in this world, they would never be able to emerge.
For a moment, he looked angrily at Chang Qing, shouting out loudly.
"Stolen?"
The gaze of Chang Qing, who looked down from above, fell, and he said indifferently, "As a demon, you fundamentally don’t understand the true meaning of inheritance."
"The Martial Ancestor, with the Dao fruit he cultivated in his lifetime, continued the fire of the Ten Thousand Races and sealed the demons."
"And I shall let the Dao flower blossom beyond predecessors upon that Dao fruit."
"The fire left by the Martial Ancestor, I will let it blaze across the wilderness!"
"The demons sealed by the Martial Ancestor, I will completely eradicate them in this era!"
Chang Qing’s grand voice rang out, he gazed at the entire world and spoke calmly:
"The inheritance left by the ancestors is a lift for the descendants."
"In this era, we will stand on the shoulders of the sages, stepping out to a new height!"
"Until the end of darkness!"
The old man looked at the youth standing above the firmament, and in his eyes, for the first time, there was a hint of panic.
The Martial Ancestor back then was already extremely terrifying.
And now, the inheritor standing on the shoulders of the Martial Ancestor, walking his own path, what would that be like?
A being surpassing the Martial Ancestor?
The thought of that possibility made the old man’s heart tremble.
"Inheritance..."
And at this moment, Chang Qing looked at his own hands, also for the first time realizing the true significance of inheritance.
What the sages passed down was the law, what was left was the way, and what the successors bear is the regret and responsibility of their predecessors.
When he willingly accepted this world, and the Dao fruit left by the Martial Ancestor.
The unbreakable fate and the Martial Ancestor’s unfulfilled regret to end darkness also fell upon him.
"I will do it."
Chang Qing whispered to himself, "But not for the sins committed by ’Yan’."
No one knows what’s on Chang Qing’s mind.
