I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 84 Ten days of chaos
night.

Zhao Nange and Zheng Shiliang walked together through the ruins left by the great battle and chaos, gradually approaching the cracks and caves leading to the earth.

As we passed the edge of the cave, the bright moon and stars overhead vanished.

Gradually, they naturally came to see the altar.

In an instant, they both saw different scenes: one saw a huge dragon head fall from the high platform, and the other saw an ancient god being bound and having his heart removed.

Similarly, they also heard different voices.

"Roar!"

"Ah... die... die... Queen Mother of the West... slay the dragon... Heavenly Punishment and Heavenly Law..."

Although the scenes they saw were different, they were all related to sacrifice.

They had heard of it, but seeing the scene for the first time still made them pale with fright, so terrified they wanted to turn around and leave.

At that moment, they saw the figure sitting on the altar and finally remembered their mission.

It was seeing that figure that gave them the courage to climb the steps and ascend the altar.

The two of them came to see Li Jun.

Besides Lu Gang asking them to meet Li Jun in his place, the two actually had another purpose.

Currently, many people are still debating whether the Li Jun in question is real or fake.

Could it be that Li Jun has really been killed, and now the fake Li Jun is impersonating him to achieve some kind of goal?

Zhao Nange and Zheng Shiliang were among the few people who had actually met Li Jun, and the other party hoped to use them to determine whether the Li Jun here was real or fake.

On the sacrificial altar, Li Jun opened his eyes.

The moment Zheng Shiliang and Zhao Nange saw each other, they knew they were seeing the real Li Jun.

It wasn't because of any particular temperament or anything else, but because they saw the other person open their eyes and see that both eyes had two perfect double pupils.

The other party must have guessed part of the two's purpose in coming and deliberately showed it to them.

Li Jun asked, "Why are you the ones who came?"

Zhao Nange gave the answer: "Team Leader Lu Gang has reached his limit in terms of accumulated costs. He must go back and find a way to break through the second stage, otherwise he will soon turn into a peach tree and become a peach visitor on Taoshan Island."

Zheng Shiliang: "The situation is very critical. If we don't do something, it will be difficult for Team Leader Lu to return to being a human being."

Li Jun did not answer, but he stood up.

He walked to the center of the altar and lifted the black sword that was stuck inside.

In an instant, both Zhao Nange and Zheng Shiliang tensed up.

"What's going on here?"

"Because it wasn't Lu Gang who came, the two of us couldn't get his approval, so he got angry?"

Although they knew that Li Jun usually favored their side, Zhao Nange and Zheng Shiliang were still a little nervous at this moment.

Because they were facing a being a god or immortal.

Just as the two men felt a chill run down their spines, thinking Li Jun was about to do something, Li Jun walked past them.

Then, he swung the sword in his hand.

Accompanied by a dragon's roar.

The sword transformed into a black dragon, which rose up and circled the sacrificial altar.

At that moment, a shadow appeared behind the altar, grabbed the black dragon, and skinned and dismembered it.

All its extraordinary power was gradually exhausted, and finally only a shadow remained, slowly falling from the height.

Those are the remains of Daoist Yuanlong.

However, this scene greatly frightened Zheng Shiliang, who was standing to the side, and Zhao Nange also did not understand what Li Jun was doing.

Zheng Shiliang asked, "Who is this?"

Li Jun: "His name is Yuanlong Daoist. He is one of the many outer disciples of the Changsheng Temple. I captured him to work for me."

“He came with me into the Yellow Springs before, and he also contributed to the process of killing Zhulong.”

"He is also that black sword; I won this battle because of him."

Li Jun looked at the corpse of Yuanlong Daoist, picked him up, and pushed him out, watching as the corpse floated out of the cave and fell into the sea not far away.

After finishing these tasks, Li Jun turned around.

"You say it's hard to go back to being human, but in reality, this is the fate of most people after embarking on this extraordinary path."

"Either don't embark on this path at all, or if you do, it's better not to have such unrealistic expectations of ending it properly as a human being."

At that moment, both Zhao Nange and Zheng Shiliang fell silent.

In fact, they also knew that Zhao Nange's final fate would most likely be a peach tree on Taoshan Island, and Zheng Shiliang might become a black dragon in the Northern Sea, or something else entirely.

Even the desire to end their lives in human form, like that of Daoist Yuanlong, is a pipe dream.

After seeing Yuanlong Daoist off, Li Jun finally began his next move, or rather, made up his mind.

Zhao Nange and Zheng Shiliang saw that the black sword in Li Jun's hand disappeared and turned into a peach wood dagger with a sheath.

Li Jun inserted the peach wood dagger into the altar again, and the altar began to writhe.

They saw one figure after another break free from the altar, which began to expand, vaguely transforming into the shape of a city.

One figure after another emerged from inside; they seemed both dead and alive.

"The Kingdom of Mountains and Seas!"

Zhao Nange and Zheng Shiliang were somewhat excited to see this scene, as it represented a power at a higher level than the second stage.

Zhao Nange carefully observed the changes on the altar: "This is the third stage."

Zheng Shiliang glanced at Li Jun's retreating figure and said, "Is he showing off to us?"

At this point, Zheng Shiliang's voice lowered.

"Team Leader Lu didn't send us here just for the power of the third stage, did he?"

Zhao Nange also looked at Li Jun, seemingly having some guesses as well, but in the end she just shook her head.

"He was probably just doing what he was supposed to do; we just happened to see it."

Zheng Shiliang nodded: "What is he doing?"

Zhao Nange said, "I don't know."

Li Jun was simply doing his own thing, and it had nothing to do with the outside world.

However, it was indeed Zhao Nange and Zheng Shiliang's words that made Li Jun decide to release Yuanlong Daoist from the sacrificial dagger and open this Mountain and Sea Kingdom.

at last.

Gradually, the entire Kingdom of Mountains and Seas slowly emerged, and it seemed that this place completely blocked the entrance.

Zhao Nange suddenly asked, "Do you want to seal this place off to prevent what's inside from coming out?"

Li Jun continued doing his work: "No, this power cannot stop the power inside from emanating out, or rather, at this moment, its power is unstoppable surging into this world."

“Every moment, every second, it is constantly eroding the world.”

"And we can't see it, nor can we stop it."

Zhao Nange: "Then what's the point of staying here?"

Li Jun: "I am acquiring stronger power. With my current power, let alone stopping it, I can hardly even cope with the next wave of impact."

Zhao Nange quickly raised her head: "You're already so strong, yet you can't even handle the next wave of impact. What's down there? What exactly is that thing?"

Li Jun: "That thing before should have been the Guhuoniao, and it's not the problem."

Zhao Nange: "What's the problem?"

Li Jun: "It is the entity behind it called Nuwa's Intestines."

Zhao Nange: "What kind of power does Nuwa's intestines possess?"

Li Jun: "I don't know. Simply knowing the names of these beings is not very meaningful. In fact, their names were just given by people in ancient times. To understand their power and essence, we need to go through trials and pay the price time and time again."

"To simply associate their names with those of ancient legends is nothing short of suicide."

When the Kingdom of Mountains and Seas fully appeared, those terrifying and illusory figures emerged and knelt below like ancient shamans in a ritual.

What happened next completely shocked Zhao Nange and Zheng Shiliang.

It's not just because that thing is terrifying.

It's also because of what exists and what is done.

A giant golden peach tree appeared and disappeared in the darkness, and a figure emerged from the tree, singing as he walked towards Li Jun.

Zhao Nange and Zheng Shiliang felt a chill run down their spines the moment they saw the shadow. They had reviewed the previous battle between the real and fake Li Jun and had also witnessed how this thing killed the fake Li Jun.

Such a terrifying being, falling into its hands, was like falling onto a chopping board, completely at its mercy.

And at this moment.

The peach demon slowly walked towards Li Jun and came to stand in front of him.

Li Jun wasn't flustered. Unlike before when he overused Nuwa's power, he could bear the consequences this time.

Sure enough, this time the female demon simply reached out and touched Li Jun's body before taking his liver.

Li Jun frowned and took a few steps back before finally stopping.

Li Jun suddenly realized the feeling Zhou Shentong had once had: his body was an empty shell, being completely hollowed out by Tao Gui.

As Tao Gui Nu Shu took the price, Li Jun felt that the entire Mountain and Sea Kingdom and Tao Bi were completely under his control, and he also obtained the power of the fourth stage.

In the darkness, he possessed a special power of rules on this altar.

"It's done!"

He didn't have the corresponding imperial bloodline double pupils, and the entire process and the opening of the Mountain and Sea Kingdom were slow and inefficient, but he still succeeded in the end.

Zhao Nange and Zheng Shiliang were stunned as they watched Tao Gui pull a part of Li Jun's body out of him.

But they fell silent again, both understanding that this was the price to pay.

After Li Jun finished doing all these things, he finally stopped.

He looked at Zhao Nange: "This kingdom of mountains and seas has been established. Do you know what that means?"

Zhao Nange suddenly raised her head: "Are you really going to give us the power of the third stage?"

Li Jun nodded: "However, we need to be in this country of mountains and seas, and you need to be fully prepared."

Zhao Nange nodded: "I understand."

Even the usually calm Zhao Nange found it hard to suppress her emotions at this moment.

I can't quite describe whether I'm happy or excited; to be more precise, it's a feeling of uncertainty and anxiety about the future.

What exactly will happen in the future?

"It made Li Jun so anxious that he brought out the third stage of the secret technique even when the conditions were not right."

Zhao Nange raised her head and looked at the spot where the golden peach tree had just appeared.

"Even Li Jun paid such a heavy price to sacrifice to such a terrifying ghost." The two arrived here and watched as Li Jun continuously displayed unbelievable power.

Corpse-witch ritual implements, the land of mountains and seas, summoning and controlling ghosts and gods.

one by one.

They couldn't understand it no matter how they looked at it or tried to figure it out.

Many things are useless if you only look at the surface. Only those who truly know how to operate the secret techniques can understand the secrets within them.

On the surface, it's nothing more than trying to see flowers through the fog or scoop the moon from the bottom of a well; even if you look at it for a lifetime, you'll never understand the secret.

Just like what they see now.

Upon seeing this land of mountains and seas, one might assume that this is the entirety of the third stage of power, but one fails to see the methods for crafting sacrificial artifacts, the systematic secret arts of the Great Witch, or the training techniques for the strange people of the mountains and seas.

The land of mountains and seas, this is only a part of it.

However, someone was secretly watching this scene. Seeing Li Jun summon the Mountain and Sea Kingdom to show Zhao Nange and Zheng Shiliang, they thought they had seen the entirety of the third stage of the Mountain and Sea Secret Technique.

the other side.

The cave and altar were already attracting a lot of attention, so Zhao Nange and Zheng Shiliang's late-night visit naturally drew even more attention.

One group followed behind, led by Salka from the Kingdom of Xituo.

The Kingdom of Xituo had previously come into contact with the power of the Kaiming Beasts and, by chance, created several extraordinary individuals who possessed the power of the Kaiming Beasts.

Although these superhumans cannot maintain their state for long, nor can they maintain stable control over their power.

Now, they have secretly begun to create the Salka, disregarding the ban they just signed with the Human Alliance, although the technology is at least more advanced than before.

The group of people following Salka sensed something was wrong with the surrounding silence.

"Do we really have to go?"

"Many other people saw it too, so why didn't they move, but we did?"

"I feel something's not right. Are those people using us as pawns, deliberately leaking information to lure us over?"

Salka, however, was extremely dissatisfied and reprimanded the others.

"They are afraid, but we are not."

“Those people from the East must be doing something. We can’t let them have everything.”

"This time, we must find out what secrets are inside and what kind of conspiracy these Eastern people are plotting."

The people of Xituo followed Salka step by step closer to the underground cave. Although Salka had just spoken with great courage, as he gradually approached the place under the cover of night, his heart began to tremble involuntarily.

His eyes were somewhat panicked, his face turned pale, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

However, at night, no one could see his expression; they could only hear the voices of people trying to embolden him.

He said, "What's there to be afraid of? I also have power. I am a superhuman with superhuman vision."

"We're not going in, we just want to look around from the outside. Can't you even do that?"

"You just need to observe the surroundings so that I can see what's going on inside with my superhuman vision."

Finally, he found a quiet and safe spot, or at least a spot that he felt safe in.

They took out various devices and aimed them into the cave.

However, with the arrival of the extraordinary era, people have also discovered that while technology can solve some problems, it is often ineffective against extraordinary power.

Some things can only be seen by those with extraordinary abilities; their secrets cannot be understood using only physics and technology.

The reason why Salka from the Kingdom of Xituo came here at this moment is precisely for this reason: only by witnessing it firsthand from the perspective of an extraordinary being can one understand the secrets involved.

He wanted to uncover the secrets, especially Li Jun's secrets.

Or perhaps it's the secret of those ancient mythological deities.

In the darkness of night.

He first saw the first image.

Salka first heard a dragon's roar, and then the dragon flew overhead in a spiral.

He was startled, and then he saw a ghost devour the dragon.

Salka couldn't help but swallow hard, then led his troops in retreat, clearly intending to run away.

But then, he saw the enormous kingdom of mountains and seas appear before him.

This made his eyes widen: "What is this?"

He thought to himself, "This must be the most powerful secret technique, a true mythical method."

This made Salka unable to resist his greed again, and he immediately abandoned the retreat and returned to the original place to spy on the secret of Li Jun with double pupils.

He became more and more engrossed in what he saw; the land of mountains and seas, and those mysterious figures from ancient times, captivated him.

"This is the power of the third stage, absolutely."

“Li Jun with double pupils is showing them; he is teaching them about the power of the third stage.”

However, he couldn't help but feel hatred in his heart.

"Why are they all from the East?"

The changes in the third phase have finally come to an end, and even now, Salka still wants to see more.

He thought to himself, "Is it not over yet? Those people haven't come out."

"Could it be that the other party taught more than just the secret techniques of the third stage, but something else entirely?"

Next, Salka saw a scene that drove him mad.

A ghost emerged from the divine tree and slowly approached Li Jun, who had double pupils.

just.

During that process, the ghost glanced at him.

In an instant, Salka was unable to move at all.

Immediately afterwards, he felt himself being placed on an altar, and a dagger fell from above.

By the time the rest of the team came to their senses, Salka, having lost something, had become a mindless, zombie-like figure.

The others had no idea what Salka had seen, but they were also terrified by the scene and began to retreat, carrying Salka, who had become like a walking corpse, back with them.

He was carried by the crowd.

Nasalka drooled as he muttered to himself.

"Phase four... Phase four... Phase four..."

"Gods..."
-
Taoshan Island.

Lu Gang returned here once again, but before he came here with a mission, while this time he had to come here because of his own problems.

Above the square, the illuminated light strips formed totems, making the place look more like a large integrated circuit than an altar.

Because Zhao Nange was the first to enter the second stage, the Dongguo "Gate" base has already accumulated some experience and expertise in the second stage.

At the edge of the square, many people came to visit, including those who were preparing to become extraordinary or who were already extraordinary.

"Team leader!"

"Are you ready?"

"It should work!"

"Don't die, come out alive!"

Lu Gang walked inside, comforting the others around him.

He said, "If I were to turn into a tree, you could cut me down and make me into a boat. I would definitely be the fastest one to run."

Seeing Lu Gang's optimism, the others couldn't help but laugh.

Next.

As the ritual progressed, Lu Gang took out a peach wood sword as a sacrificial vessel, and his body began to change.

Simultaneously.

He also saw some images of ancient times.

The power that Lu Gang obtained was actually inherited from Zhao Nange; they both came from the same source.

just.

His talent is clearly far inferior to Zhao Nange's.
What Zhao Nange saw upon connecting was the ancient people surrounding the oldest shaman of the desolate wilderness, calling out to him.

"The Great Witch is Ugly!"

When Lu Gang arrived, he also saw scenes of ancestral sacrifices, but the time period was significantly different.

On the altar, shamans were still performing sacrifices, and the ancient people below were also chanting the same name, but what they were chanting was something else entirely.

"The corpse of the ugly woman!"

Upon hearing the two ancient sounds emanating from the female clown, Lu Gang immediately recalled the scene Zhao Nange had witnessed, as if the name of the shaman she had seen was pronounced in the same way.

"Do we all derive our power from the same source?"

"Female clown?"

Lu Gang was unaware that although both the Great Witch Chou and the Corpse of Chou contained the characters "Chou," there was a huge difference between them.

However, although Lu Gang was unable to connect with part of Nü Chou's power, he saw what Zhao Nange did not see.

In ancient times.

A famous scene from mythology.

At first, Lu Gang simply watched the witch perform the ritual to heaven and earth, watching her dance under the flames, and then step by step ascend the sharp blades that had turned into steps.

Finally, an ancient sacrificial song was sung atop the high platform.

He was mesmerized by what he saw, after all, it was a scene from ancient times, now being witnessed by him in modern times, spanning countless ages.

But the moment the witch raised her head and looked up at the sky, Lu Gang's pupils dilated instantly.

Then, I gasped.

His body, which remained in the modern world outside of his consciousness, also began to tremble in sync, and he took a deep breath.

"hiss!"

Because he saw ten suns in the sky.

The suns shone brightly in the sky, turning the entire firmament into a blazing white.

"Ten days of chaos?"

The screen ends.

Lu Gang remained staring blankly ahead, lost in thought.

In what was merely an ordinary ancient shamanic ritual, he unexpectedly witnessed something extraordinary and saw a true myth.
