The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 2: The Emperor's Son
Xu He's figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared in front of the old Monkey King.

The old Monkey King shook his head and smiled bitterly, his eyes full of disappointment.

The way to invincibility, the heart to become an emperor...

Once upon a time, he was also extremely handsome and looked down upon the world, determined to become an emperor. However, after setting foot on the ancient path of the human race, he met too many geniuses.

That youthful spirit was also eroded by repeated defeats, and even though he managed to become a great sage, he was mediocre and stagnant.

As time went by, his determination to become an emperor and attain the supreme power was gradually regarded by him as the frivolous words of an ignorant and youthful person.

Until he met Xu He a hundred years ago, the invincible posture displayed by the innate holy body and the Taoist fetus reminded him of the former supreme Emperor Wu Shi.

He was certain that Xu He could become emperor, and asked Xu He to fulfill his dream on his behalf.

I used to only be interested in his physique, but now it seems... I am still far from having that invincible heart.

Now, he felt that if Xu He could really survive the Dark Age, he would be able to become an emperor.

"In ancient times, the human race was weak, but great emperors emerged one after another in later generations. Is this all due to this supreme Dao heart..."

“Hahahaha… then I’ll go crazy too!” The old Monkey King laughed and flew up.

…………

Xu He did not fly directly into the battlefield.

He kept shuttling through the Milky Way, passing countless ancient stars of life, and swimming through several majestic imperial passes. The pressure of the eighth level of the quasi-emperor attracted countless people to kowtow and pray devoutly.

Xu He did not stop, but instead accelerated away.

He had to reach the Emperor Burial Star as quickly as possible.

Others may not know, but Xu He knows it all.

In the old place of Yaochi on the Burial Emperor Star, there is a jar of Wu Shi's blood. Combined with the innate holy body and Taoist fetus, it may allow the former Wu Shi Emperor to briefly return to the world.

Although Xu He knew very well that Emperor Wu Shi was in a strange space and was interfered by hostile forces, he could not really come.

But at least, if a jar of Wu Shi's blood can allow him to briefly possess the combat power of an emperor, it will be of great help to the current situation.

There is also the Wu Shi Bell in Zishan, which is almost becoming an immortal weapon, and there is also immortal fire in the Fire Domain, which are all great help.

Xu He did not expect to be able to defeat several supreme beings by this, but these were the chips he could use to defeat a supreme being.

He just hoped it could be faster.

Passing by a majestic imperial pass, he was stopped by an aura so powerful that even Xu He could not ignore it.

Xu He was surprised. He came to the Emperor's Gate and muttered to himself, "Peak of Quasi-Emperor?"

Xu He would never misjudge that aura. As quasi-emperors, each of them was a powerful existence, but this aura actually gave Xu He a slight illusion.

Finally, Xu He could see the source of the quasi-emperor's pressure.

A man with an ordinary face, even unremarkable. Although ordinary, his figure appears somewhat majestic, with loose black hair and a large seal in his hand. Although a corner of it is missing, it still exudes a terrifying aura.

It seemed that the gods inside were about to come out and conquer the nine heavens and ten earths again.

"Taiyin Human Emperor Seal... who are you?" Xu He's pupils shrank, full of surprise.

This is a genuine supreme imperial weapon that once fought with the Taiyin Human Emperor. The broken corner of it is the best proof of the Taiyin Human Emperor's achievements.

But what made Xu He most wary was the person holding the imperial weapon.

The Taiyin Emperor's lineage had long been usurped, but who is the one in charge now?
"I am the son of the Taiyin Emperor." Perhaps sensing the confusion on Xu He's face, the Taiyin disciple spoke up, "In ancient times, my father sealed me into the Divine Source, leaving me there until the chaos was over."

Xu He remained silent, just looking at the Prince of Taiyin quietly.

The bloodline of the Taiyin Emperor was cut off and the Taoist tradition was usurped. Both things were enough to make the prince in front of him furious. It seemed that the prince had understood it now, but the two of them tacitly did not mention it.

Most of the monks in the surrounding area had already fled, leaving only the very old man who was about to die, and many young children who were still in their cradles and unable to escape.

Perhaps the young child does not know that the warm embrace he once had is now gone.

"Where are you going?" The Taiyin Emperor looked at Xu He. He could sense the imperial power that Xu He exuded, a power that even he couldn't claim to be able to overpower. "I'm going to Purple Mountain. There's the Beginningless Bell there. Perhaps I could borrow it."

Xu He did not hide it, but revealed the aura of the innate holy body and the Taoist fetus.

"It's indeed a unique physique." The Prince of Taiyin felt it quietly, looking at Xu He in front of him, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He was named the Source of God and had never seen Wu Shi, but he heard countless people shouting his name amid the wailing of the people.

The frequency with which the common people call upon the "Emperor Wu Shi" is no less than that of the "Emperor Taiyin" and the "Emperor Taiyang". It seems that he is also an supreme emperor.

I think the human race has been living no worse than in ancient times these years.

With such thoughts in mind, the Prince of Taiyin looked at Xu He again.

The eighth level of quasi-emperor can have such imperial power and such a heart of Tao.

"In time, you will become a great emperor. If you rise up now, aren't you afraid of being buried in the darkness and chaos? Aren't you afraid of becoming the nourishment for those supreme and corrupt immortal platforms?" said the Emperor Taiyin.

Xu He's eyes were as bright as lightning, captivating people, as if he was talking to himself: "Some people rise from ruin, some people revive from annihilation. I don't think I will die here."

"Even if I die, I will not regret it."

The Prince of Taiyin was a little dazed for a moment, and just kept muttering Xu He's words.

"Rise from ruin, revive from annihilation... Even if I die, I will have no regrets..."

Looking at Xu He, he smiled and said, "Is this your Dao Heart?"

"Now I feel more and more that you will be the great emperor of the world. It's a pity that I can still feel the pressure between heaven and earth."

When he came out of retreat, he also tried to reach the Emperor Realm, but failed. He could only sigh that the timing was wrong.

"It's a pity that I only have one imperial weapon and cannot lend it to you." The Prince of Taiyin sighed softly, feeling quite lonely.

After he said this, he said goodbye and turned around. Just as he was halfway into the air, Xu He caught up with him.

"Senior..." Xu He had mixed emotions and didn't know how to start.

The world failed to protect the bloodline of the Human Emperor, and the Taoist tradition could not be passed down. The emperor's son already knew these things, but he resolutely rushed to the battlefield.

"Don't feel guilty, those things have nothing to do with you." The Emperor Taiyin looked indifferent.

"There is no such thing as an immortal inheritance. One day, everything will be buried in the dust."

The ground is filled with wailing people and the sky is filled with corpses.

The Prince of Taiyin was moved, and tightened his grip on the Human Emperor's Seal. In ancient times, the Human Emperor had sealed it and left it for future generations.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this was the biggest turmoil, so he was born.

"Because my father is the Human Emperor, and because I am the son of Emperor Taiyin." After saying the last sentence, the son of Emperor Taiyin disappeared from Xu He's sight.

He never stopped while traveling through the stars, but his eyes were full of attachment.

He was flying towards the Ziwei Emperor Star.

There were engraved his past glory, there were carved the mark of the Human Emperor.

There, there are also ancient supreme beings absorbing the essence of life.

As they got closer, the Prince of Taiyin looked towards the deep space with longing; he remembered that before he was deified, he had also watched the stars and admired the moon. This time, he wondered if it would be his last look into the distance.

There is no immortal inheritance... and there is no immortal supreme being.

With the last glance, the heart of the Taiyin Emperor was as hard as stone, his aura surged in an instant, and his cultivation at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor was not concealed at all.

Looking at the Forbidden Zone Supreme who was looking back at him, he finally said calmly:

"I am the son of the Taiyin Emperor, fighting on behalf of my father. May I ask, among the Supreme Beings, who wants to fight me?"
