Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

In the sky, the ball of light slowly descended, its myriad rays of divine light and auspicious colors illuminating the entire heavens and earth.

It truly resembled a priceless treasure falling from the sky.

All beings in the Three Realms looked up, and many of them showed excitement in their eyes.

"A treasure! This is a heavenly treasure! The Heavenly Emperor has overcome the tribulation of creation, and the heavens and earth have bestowed this reward upon him!" Many people trembled with excitement and knelt down to kowtow.

"The Heavenly Emperor is one in a million, even Heaven and Earth must bestow a precious treasure to congratulate him!" Someone said, tears welling in their eyes, their voice hoarse.

The Black Emperor whipped its tail wildly, raised its head, and roared, "Even Heaven has given this to the Heavenly Emperor! Throughout the ages, who else has such prestige! Who else?"

Everyone thought it was all over.

They thought this was a reward from heaven for those who passed the test.

"I wonder what kind of treasure it is. I'm really curious."

"Yes, the treasures from a test of this level must be very valuable."

"Of course."

Everyone started discussing and anticipating what the reward would be.

As it descended, and as the celestial light gradually faded as everyone anticipated, the object revealed its true form.

This is a Taoist altar, ancient and mottled, like a stone platform passed down from ancient times, with a guillotine on it.

The blade is dark red, with a cold metallic luster.

The guillotine was raised high, blade facing upwards, with a shimmering sheen at the edge.

Unfortunately, this was not an auspicious celestial light, but a scarlet glow, filled with murderous intent.

Upon seeing the true form of this thing, the smiles on the faces of all beings in the Three Realms instantly froze.

A chill rose from the base of my spine and shot straight to the top of my head.

An overwhelming sense of fear descended.

Some people subconsciously touched their necks, as if the guillotine would fall at any moment and sever their heads.

"What... what is this? This doesn't feel like a reward for passing the test." Someone's voice trembled.

"I felt a chill run through my body, as if I were being watched by something."

"That knife... I feel like it's watching me."

Black King's tail stopped wagging and was tucked tightly between his legs, and all the fur on his body stood on end.

All beings in the Three Realms instantly sensed something was wrong; this didn't seem like a reward, but rather a more terrifying test.

Upon seeing the platform appear, Jiang Hao's pupils contracted; he recognized it.

This is the Execution Platform!

The so-called Execution Platform is a terrifying thing that can execute immortals, including true immortals and immortal kings.

They specialize in killing those who defy Heaven and those who follow the wrong path, but they do not kill the nameless.

Whenever this thing appears, it slays the most amazing and heaven-defying beings in all of history.

Throughout the ages, all those who have ascended this platform, except for the Chaotic Ancient Heavenly Emperor, have all perished, their paths extinguished and their lives lost.

What's most terrifying is that this thing gets stronger when it encounters a strong opponent; if a True Immortal arrives, it will slay a True Immortal.

Arriving from the Immortal King Realm, I will slay the Immortal King.

This is the ultimate judgment of Heaven and Earth upon those who create their own transcendent system and break free from the shackles of the heavens.

It judges the newly created laws, erases the traces of transcendence, and eradicates all traditions that do not belong to the old order of the heavens.

Upon seeing the Execution Platform, Jiang Hao got goosebumps. The Execution Platform was a place where nothing was spared!

At this moment, Daoist Jian Shi stepped forward, his white hair fluttering in the wind, his voice hoarse and heavy: "That is the Execution Platform."

He recognized the thing. Although the Execution Platform is rare, it has produced many extraordinary individuals throughout history, so there are records of it.

The surroundings fell silent instantly.

"The Execution Platform, the most ferocious object throughout history, represents ultimate judgment. This thing targets not only the physical body but also the primordial spirit. When the guillotine falls, the physical body is severed, the primordial spirit is destroyed, and the Dao fruit is annihilated. No one can escape!"

All beings in the Three Realms were utterly stunned.

"This...this is even more terrifying than the Heavenly Tribulation? The Heavenly Emperor has already survived that tribulation, and now this is happening?"

"This is unfair! They're leaving us no way out!"

"This is a fatal blow! The strongest True Immortal Tribulation in history combined with the Execution Platform—this is going to kill the Heavenly Emperor!"

Some people cursed the injustice of heaven, while others collapsed to the ground.

After listening to the explanation from the Taoist Master Jian Shi, everyone felt that this was far more terrifying than a heavenly tribulation, and even more terrifying than fighting against a powerful opponent.

There's still hope in heavenly tribulations and battles, but this thing is completely beyond my comprehension. It's a rule-based thing, there's no escaping it, it's guaranteed to hit, and it targets the primordial spirit. How can I possibly get through this?

This is despairing.

The Black Emperor leaped up, barking wildly at the heavens: "It's unfair! Heaven, you're so unfair! The Heavenly Emperor has survived so many tribulations and defeated so many enemies, what more do you want? Come at me if you dare!"

The Celestial Emperor also stepped forward, pointing at the sky and cursing loudly:

"You blind, damned Heaven! The Heavenly Emperor has created new laws to benefit all living beings, and not only do you not reward him, you also send down this calamity of the Execution Platform! What kind of bullshit Heaven do you think you are!"

Both the Holy Spirit and the dog were hot-tempered and couldn't stand it, so they started cursing.

The might of Heaven descends.

An invisible force spread out from the Execution Platform, enveloping the entire Three Realms.

Vast, ancient, and irresistible.

Jiang Hao felt his soul being locked by that rule, and then his body was guided away by the Execution Platform.

"Heavenly Emperor!" The Black Emperor rushed forward, only to be repelled by a gentle force.

The Great Emperor of Guidance exhausted all the secrets of heaven and deduced the outcome, but it was all nothing and could not be predicted at all.

The Empress's imperial aura surged as she struck the Execution Platform with a palm. The palm print passed through the platform and hit empty air, without causing any ripples.

The Execution Platform does not belong to this world; it cannot be touched by external forces unless one is undergoing tribulation.

Jiang Hao was led to the Execution Platform.

Upon closer inspection, the platform appears even more mottled, covered with cracks, from which a dark red light flows, as if something is alive.

The blade of the guillotine was stained with blood, the blood of countless geniuses and powerful figures throughout the ages, absorbed by the Execution Platform and becoming part of it.

The blood still glows and pulsates, as if telling the story of its owner's resentment back then.

Jiang Hao stood on the Execution Platform.

At that moment, the guillotine moved, and the sound of metal scraping against metal was ear-piercing, sending chills down everyone's spines.

A crimson light fell from the guillotine blade, enveloping Jiang Hao's entire body.

That light was unstoppable; this was the Execution Platform. If one's strength could not surpass it, one could only abide by its rules.

Those rays of light pierced into Jiang Hao's flesh and blood, and into his primordial spirit.

Jiang Hao's foundation began to crumble.

What he had accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years crumbled piece by piece under the crimson light, then scattered like autumn leaves.

Jiang Hao's primordial spirit began to become transparent, turning into specks of light and dissipating into the void.

Upon seeing this scene, Black King's eyes immediately reddened, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Heavenly Emperor!" it wailed, its voice filled with sorrow.

Qin Ming's hand holding the Primordial Bell was trembling, and his lips were quivering.

Di Chen's sword fell to the ground, and Wan Qing's tears streamed silently down her cheeks.

The Empress stood on the forbidden ground, her peerless face expressionless.

But her hands were trembling, and her imperial aura surged wildly around her.

Immortal Lord Taixu closed his eyes, unable to bear watching any longer.

All beings in the Three Realms knelt on the ground, some wailing, some kowtowing desperately, and some howling to the heavens, their hearts breaking.

"Heavenly Emperor! How could the Heavenly Emperor die!"

"The Heavenly Emperor created so many myths, how could he die here? No, I don't believe it!"

"Heaven is unjust! Heaven is unjust!"

The Heavenly Emperor is dead? The Heavenly Emperor just died like that? The supreme being in their hearts, the Heavenly Emperor who created countless miracles, just died like that?

The crowd couldn't accept it. How could the Heavenly Emperor die? How could the Heavenly Emperor possibly die?

Everyone was filled with despair and resentment!

Emperor Jieyin clasped his hands together, his lips trembling.

Emperor Wu Lin Dong clenched his fists, while Emperor Wuji Bo looked up at the Execution Platform with fury in his eyes.

The suppression dissipated, leaving only a headless corpse on the execution platform!

Fresh blood kept flowing out, emitting a faint sheen, a shocking sight!
