Chapter 1626 Star Gate?
Upper Bound.
Shadow Temple.
"Cough cough!"
"Damn evil emperor, I knew you weren't dead."
As dense shadows appeared, the figure of the Evil Annihilation Celestial Venerable gradually materialized deep within the hall…
"You just wait. The Shadow Temple has always been mine. You think you can take it back? Not a chance."
Evil Annihilation Celestial Venerable snorted coldly, and the surrounding runic power rapidly fluctuated.
He did not actually perish.
He only managed to reclaim the Upper Realm at the cost of severe injury. But at the level of the Evil Destroyer Heavenly Venerable, dying is almost impossible; he can be said to be truly immortal.
He did not die, nor did the Evil Emperor; instead, he returned to the Upper Realm in some form.
"Somebody come!"
With a wave of his hand, the Evil Annihilation Celestial Venerable was surrounded by a terrifying aura.
"My subordinate is here!"
A figure exuding a chilling aura slowly appeared before the Evil Destroyer. His expression was calm, and a chilling aura emanated from him.
"Pass down the order: the Evil Emperor is not dead. Anyone who finds his whereabouts may come here to report, and they will all receive a favor from my Shadow Temple!"
"promise!"
The guy nodded heavily, and then his figure disappeared!
"Evil Emperor..."
"Just you wait. Sooner or later, I will completely suppress and obliterate you, shatter your soul, destroy your bones and muscles, devour your body, and leave you... without a burial place!"
The Evil Destroyer Heavenly Venerable gritted his teeth, feeling both fear and hatred towards the Evil Emperor!
...
The Upper Realm, a wild desert!
A figure fell heavily from the sky, crashing directly into the desert!
"cough……"
His weak fingers twitched slightly, and a feeling of powerlessness washed over him!
"I never imagined I would be so weak..."
The runes in his palm swirled slightly, transforming into a cane, and the Evil Emperor forcibly stood up, supporting himself with the cane!
"Cough cough!"
The Evil Emperor stared ahead, a hint of inner conflict flashing in his eyes.
"Now, only a fraction of my former power remains..."
He shook his head helplessly. This was truly a return to square one!
Just as he was about to recover his strength, wave after wave of people from the Temple of Annihilation came. He had no choice but to unleash his power, which forcibly brought him to such a miserable state!
But the Evil Emperor did not regret it!
"Hopefully, the Demon Emperor and Song Yu can protect them!"
The Evil Emperor shook his head and staggered forward!
Ahead of him lay a tribe, one of the few tribes in this wild desert!
This place is secluded and rarely visited, so he can take a good rest. Right now, all he can do is hide himself!
……
The lower realm, the pinnacle of the void of the three great universes!
In the void where the Evil Emperor vanished, countless stardust particles are now slowly falling, like a silent memorial!
Song Yu raised his hand and waved it, sending a dark golden sword intent soaring into the sky. Wherever the sword intent passed, countless stardust fragments suddenly condensed, transforming into a dazzling starry river monument, upon which were only two gilded characters: Evil Emperor!
This monument hangs at the intersection of the three universes, shining as brightly as the sun and moon, and enduring as long as heaven and earth!
Upon seeing this, the cultivators below stopped what they were doing and bowed respectfully toward the Star River Light Stele.
The reverence, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, resounded through the starry sky and lingered on.
At the same time, a large amount of special gas began to surge into the tombstone!
The Demon Emperor slowly walked to Song Yu's side. He looked at the luminous stele, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "This is... incense?"
Song Yu glanced at the Demon Emperor and asked curiously, "What is incense?"
"The so-called incense offerings are a manifestation of power. At a certain level, the provision of incense offerings can allow a celestial lord to quickly recover his strength!"
"Above the Realm of Dao lies the Immortal Lord of Dao!"
"I'm afraid he's already very close to that realm. As long as we keep providing him with offerings, he will surely be able to completely stabilize himself in that realm!"
The Demon Emperor shouted excitedly.
Song Yu was shocked. No wonder the Evil Emperor could unleash power surpassing the peak of the Dao Realm in an instant. No wonder... the Evil Annihilation Heavenly Venerable insisted on fighting him to the death!
It turns out he was such a terrifying and supreme being!
Just then, a slight ripple suddenly came from the depths of the starry sky.
The fluctuation was extremely subtle; if Song Yu hadn't made great progress in his cultivation, he would have had no way of noticing it.
His expression hardened, and he abruptly looked up: "We have a guest."
The Demon Emperor's eyes narrowed, and his demonic energy surged: "It's the aura of the Upper Realm, and there's more than one."
Before the words were finished, three streaks of light broke through the void barrier and landed in front of Song Yu and the others.
The leader was an elderly man in a white robe, with white hair and a youthful face, exuding a gentle Daoist aura that was completely different from the murderous aura of the Temple of Annihilation.
Behind him followed a man and a woman, both with upright postures and calm demeanor, exuding an air of imperial authority.
The white-robed elder's gaze swept over the Star River Light Stele, a complex respect flashing in his eyes. He then cupped his hands in greeting to Song Yu: "Elder Yun He of the Azure Cloud Sect of the Upper Realm greets Emperor Song Yu."
The old man was actually at the pinnacle of the Dao.
Song Yu frowned slightly, remaining vigilant: "Qingyun Sect? What brings you all here?"
Elder Yunhe smiled slightly and said in a calm tone, "Your Majesty need not worry. We are not allies of the Temple of Annihilation. We have come here for two reasons: first, to pay our respects to the Evil Emperor, and second, to present a congratulatory gift."
After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it, and a blue jade slip flew towards Song Yu.
Song Yu took the jade slip, probed it with his divine sense, and his expression immediately became quite interesting.
The jade slip contained a star map of the upper realm, which detailed the sphere of influence of the Temple of Annihilation, as well as the locations of dozens of sects that had grudges against the Temple of Annihilation.
“This…” Song Yu looked at Yun He, his eyes full of doubt.
"The Temple of Annihilation is ambitious, attempting to unify the Upper Realm, and has long incurred the wrath of Heaven and the resentment of Mankind." Elder Yunhe sighed softly, "The Evil Emperor was kind to our Qingyun Sect back then, and now that he has fallen here, we will naturally not sit idly by. This star map is a small token of our appreciation, and we hope it will help the Human Emperor set foot in the Upper Realm in the future!"
"Step into the Upper Realm?" Song Yu's heart stirred.
He never imagined that one day he would set foot on that legendary land.
"Indeed." Elder Yunhe nodded. "The Human Emperor's slaying of the Annihilation Heavenly Venerable has already made him famous throughout the Upper Realm. The fortunes of the three universes have greatly increased after this battle, and within ten thousand years, they will open star gates to the Upper Realm. At that time, if the Human Emperor is willing, my Qingyun Sect is willing to serve as its leader and fight together against the remnants of the Annihilation Temple!"
Song Yu fell silent, unsure whether the other person was telling the truth or not!
He was very afraid that the other party might be setting a trap!
The Demon Emperor noticed his hesitation and patted him on the shoulder: "You don't need to rush to decide. Ten thousand years is enough time for you to improve again!"
Elder Yunhe nodded as well: "Your Majesty, please reconsider. We will await good news at the Qingyun Sect."
After saying that, he and the two behind him transformed into three streaks of light and disappeared into the depths of the starry sky.
Song Yu held the blue jade slip in his hand, remaining silent for a long time.
A century later, the Star Gate opened, and the path to the Upper Realm was fraught with danger, but he knew he had no other choice.
The remnants of the Temple of Annihilation have not been eliminated, and the grudge against the Evil Emperor remains unavenged. The peace of this universe needs a more powerful force to protect it.
“Qinghong,” Song Yu suddenly spoke.
"Your son is here," Song Qinghong replied quickly.
"From this day forward, the Human Emperor's Palace is entrusted to you!" Song Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally handed the Divine Sword to Song Qinghong, his eyes full of expectation. "The responsibility of protecting the three universes is also temporarily entrusted to you."
"Remember this, you must work with Ying Zheng and Zhang Zishi to protect the three universes well!"
Song Qinghong accepted the heavy divine sword and nodded emphatically: "Your son will certainly live up to your expectations, Father!"
Song Yu then looked at Ying Zheng, Zhao Xiaolong, and the others, and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, I will trouble you to take good care of the order of the three universes in the future."
Ying Zheng and the others nodded in unison, saying, "Rest assured, Your Majesty! We will certainly live up to Your Majesty's expectations!"
Having arranged everything, Song Yu turned to look at the Demon Emperor, a smile playing on his lips: "Senior, in ten thousand years, will I be able to truly reach the pinnacle of the Dao?"
At this moment, Song Yu's cultivation level had reached the late stage of the Dao Realm! He was only one step away from the peak, yet a mere ten thousand years...
I'm afraid it's difficult!
The Demon Emperor shook his head bitterly, "I've never been to this realm before either. This is my first time stepping into it. For an ordinary person, it would take tens of millions of years to reach the peak of the Dao Realm!"
"But if it were you, you might as well take a gamble even if it takes ten thousand years."
"Haha, since that's the case, Demon Emperor, well then, you two will have to cultivate with me!"
"it is good!"
"Yes!"
Naihe, who had been standing obediently to the side, was stunned. He was expecting Song Yu to assign him a task, but it seemed that Song Yu wanted to take him to the Upper Realm!
Song Yu transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the depths of the universe. The Demon Emperor Naihe hurriedly followed, and soon disappeared into the vast starry sky.
Beneath the Star River Monument, Song Qinghong held the Divine Sword, his gaze fixed firmly on the direction the two had departed.
Ying Zheng, Zhang Zishi, and others stood behind him, their gazes equally resolute.
A time span of ten thousand years is far too short; it passes in the blink of an eye!
They knew that the day the Star Gate opened and Song Yu returned would be the day they stepped into the Upper Realm.
Deep in the universe, Song Yu sat cross-legged on a desolate star, his body surrounded by surging chaotic energy.
The Demon Emperor sat not far away, cultivating with his eyes closed. His demonic energy transformed into countless demonic patterns, protecting this star field.
Unfortunately, his talent was set to have no upper limit by the Evil Emperor, so to put it bluntly, he was an artificial anomaly.
At this moment, Naihe, although the one with the weakest cultivation among the three, still possessed the strength of a half-step Dao Realm cultivator.
The starry sky was silent, with only stardust falling slowly.
After an unknown amount of time, Song Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of chaotic divine light shot into the sky, piercing through the star barrier.
Peak of the Dao Realm!
He slowly stood up, feeling the surging power within him, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"The Temple of Annihilation..."
"Shadow Temple..."
"You just wait and see!"
A slight smile curved the corners of Song Yu's lips.
