"Kill!"
In the vast expanse of the world's heaven and earth, there were countless living beings—some in the sky, some on the ground, some on the sea, and even some traversing the Star Sky. Without exception, they were all immensely powerful; even the weakest had reached the Saint level, which spoke volumes.
Countless powerful beings, each belonging to their own factions, from Saints below to Ancient Monarchs proudly standing in the Star Sky, were locked in fierce combat. They fought until the entire vibrant super world withered, with endless bones staining the infinite earth and vast oceans crimson—a truly tragic scene.
Boom—
During this, several supremely majestic figures appeared, each treading upon the River of Time as they emerged, revered throughout the world and invincible across the All Heavens.
"They are Supreme Ones!"
The crowd exclaimed in shock. Those figures were all Supreme Ones—there were Great Emperors, Ancient Emperors, and also Supreme Immortals. They were all peerless existences that had stood proudly through the ages, their bodies radiating a fiery light of time as they stood upon the River of Time. Behind them, they led infinite armies, waging war across this boundless land.
"Roar—"
That was a Great Emperor roaring. He was so powerful that his Emperor's light illuminated the eternal sky, his Emperor's Dao suppressed the myriad Daos of the All Heavens, and his blood energy flooded the endless firmament.
He rode an Emperor-level war chariot into battle, pulled by a Sovereign-level Beast Venerable, traversing time as his Emperor's traces suppressed the All Heavens, engaging other Supreme Ones in combat.
With a single roar, infinite Star Skies shattered, annihilating countless stars and forever dimming a vast expanse.
Among the opposing Supreme One's side, infinite powerful beings perished as a result, including universe overlords of the Ancient Monarch level. They too could not withstand a Supreme One's roar, their bodies and souls utterly destroyed, sending chills down the spines of all the All Heavens' powerhouses.
The Great Emperor was too powerful; with just one roar, even an Ancient Monarch would be annihilated, body and soul, unable to endure.
"This is the might of a Supreme One!"
The higher one's cultivation, the more one understood the terrifying power of a Supreme One, far beyond imagination.
The various powerhouses then looked toward the Sovereign of Formlessness. The various Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans of the All Heavens sighed inwardly—the human race also had a Supreme One. Who could match him?
In the projected images of the past, the opposing Supreme One was alarmed and enraged, unleashing attacks that shook the ages against the ancient Great Emperor. They clashed in the vast expanse, shattering sun, moon, and stars, causing the infinite earth to collapse and crumble. Billions of lives were lost, and the people suffered greatly—truly terrifying.
That was just one scene. In that era, this world had not just two Supreme Ones. From the rapidly flashing images, it was known that at least five Supreme Ones had appeared. For unknown reasons, the most fearsome Supreme Emperor War erupted, triggering infinite disasters that caused this vast world, no less than the Chaos Sacred World, to sink into ruin, its vitality extinguished.
In the end, the Great Emperor fell, the Ancient Emperor perished, and the Supreme Immortal was buried in a foreign land—a total of four Supreme Ones had fallen.
When the world withered and heaven and earth fell silent, everything came to an end.
Everyone held their breath. Throughout history, how many Emperors and Supreme Immortals could there be? Yet in recent years, they had encountered so many at once, as if they had all leaped out, appearing before their eyes.
Now, in this Mythical Ruins Land, four supreme Supreme Ones had once fallen. The Great Emperor of the ancient Imperial Hall was one of them. In his time, he had led ten Sovereigns, commanding awe for a while, yet he unexpectedly fell here.
They all wanted to know what had happened back then to trigger the struggle among the five Supreme Ones, leading to that terrible Supreme-level melee. It definitely wouldn't have been without reason.
Upon the ancient Imperial Hall, the Sovereign of Formlessness stood in the air, his hair loose and radiating a fiery golden light. Streams of Supreme-level power continuously poured into it, deducing the past to uncover some of its secrets.
Events from that time involved the Supreme level. Simple deduction was difficult; even a powerful Supreme One would face great obstruction. Only by using the Imperial Hall left behind by a Great Emperor Supreme One as a medium could one smoothly bypass many Supreme traces, avoiding much obstruction to carry out the deduction.
Yet it was still extremely difficult. Only a peerless Supreme One like the Sovereign of Formlessness, who could rival Emperors, could manage to deduce it.
Boom—
The Sovereign of Formlessness employed terrifying methods, no longer ordinary Supreme techniques but belonging to the realm of secret arts. He continued deducing, even as one Supreme-level trace after another appeared ahead to block the deduction. They were pierced through one by one, and the deduction proceeded.
"I've won!"
Finally, a scene of blood staining the All Heavens appeared. It was the completely collapsed Mythical Ruins Land, the Star Sky dim and lightless, several moons having already shattered by more than half. The eternal sun that illuminated the world's heaven and earth had exploded and perished.
Thus, the world grew dim and dark, the powerhouses of the All Heavens staining this place with their blood, their corpses littering the wilderness.
Even the Great Emperor, Ancient Emperor, and Supreme Immortal had fallen, leaving only one person standing alone. He wore shattered Emperor's armor, his helmet cracked, with ten eyes—nine of them closed, oozing Supreme blood. Only the eye in the center of his brow remained open. He was an extremely fearsome Emperor-level Supreme One.
He was covered in blood—some from enemies, some his own. Supreme blood shimmered, the armor on his chest shattered, pierced through front and back by a terrifying war spear. Supreme killing intent permeated the air, yet it still hadn't killed him.
His right arm was gone, torn off, leaving only a bloody wound and exposed white bone. A huge wound pierced through his abdomen from front to back.
Under the cracked helmet, his blood-stained head bore a terrible gash—a great axe had cleaved into his skull, nearly splitting it entirely. Supreme Emperor traces flickered, and beside the heavenly eye in his brow was a bloody hole, with immortal principles boiling.
It could be foreseen that these were all attacks from other hostile Supreme Ones—there were Great Emperors, Ancient Emperors, and Supreme Immortals, all of whom had unleashed terrible killing moves against him.
Yet despite suffering such fearsome injuries, the ten-eyed Supreme One still did not die. He survived the Supreme killing calamity, standing alone in the desolate super world, proudly overlooking past and present, gazing down upon time.
He had won!
Everyone saw that in the Ten-Eyed Supreme's only remaining, fractured, and twisted left hand, he clutched a ball of dawn light. It was mysterious, carrying a fluctuation that made the great world tremble.
"Could the struggle of the five Supreme Ones have been for this?" The powerhouses of the All Heavens all looked at the severely wounded Supreme One's hand. The dawn light was transcendent and mysterious, reinforced by Supreme One Emperor laws. Despite containing infinite power and struggling constantly, it could not break free.
Unfortunately, precisely because of these mysterious Supreme One Emperor laws, they could not clearly see what the dawn light in the Supreme One's hand actually was.
The Sovereign of Formlessness' gaze suddenly solidified into substance, sweeping over with a whoosh as if to pierce through those Supreme One Emperor laws and see what the mysterious dawn light in the Ten-Eyed Supreme's hand was, something that could attract five Supreme Ones to contend for it.
Boom—
At this moment, the Ten-Eyed Supreme could sense the Sovereign of Formlessness' prying gaze. Even though they were not in the same spacetime, not in the same time—one in the past, one in the present—the River of Time resonated, allowing them to see each other.
"To think someone has crossed layer upon layer of Supreme traces, tracing back to the source here... quite impressive. But wanting to spy? Not allowed."
Even though the Ten-Eyed Supreme bore the most terrible injuries and his Emperor soul was damaged, he was, after all, a Supreme One of his generation. His entire body suddenly erupted with infinite Supreme One Emperor laws, shattering spacetime and the future observer's gaze.
Boom—
All images shattered and dissipated!
But the Sovereign of Formlessness did not stop there. On the contrary, he continued deducing, though not from the era of the five Supreme Ones' melee, but from the time when the desolate Mythical Ruins Land later formed.
Time flowed, passing tens of thousands of years in an instant. Later, above the Mythical Ruins Land, countless figures appeared. Their leader also tread upon the River of Time as he emerged—they were all Supreme Ones, all Emperors and Supreme Immortals.
And their numbers surpassed those from before, reaching as many as ten.
Especially the leading ancient Great Emperor, who was revered as invincible throughout the ages, wearing a Supreme Emperor's crown, his majesty unparalleled. Even the other Emperors and Supreme Immortals seemed to hold a trace of awe for him.
"The First Emperor of a Thousand Ages—Qin Shi Huang!"
Seeing this scene, everyone else drew in a sharp breath of cold air.
