Three Enclosures and Four Symbols

Chapter 339 The Four Emperors Appear

“Feather Emperor, come here at once!” At this moment, the Hong Emperor spoke, his purple aura surging for hundreds of millions of miles, submerging the entire vast world.

In the next moment, deep within the ultimate ancient land, intense light filled the sky, sacred and brilliant, illuminating the ages, cutting through the river of time, the Emperor's might manifesting.

“Disturbing my slumber!” A low voice shook the universe. Then, an unparalleled being was born, riding an ancient chariot, extremely dazzling, its radiance flowing, suppressing the four extremes of heaven and earth.

On the chariot, Emperor's intent erupted, a rain of sacred light permeated the air, and an Emperor stood up, looking down in this direction. He carried a pair of sacred wings on his back, his whole being powerful and holy, like a flawless supreme being, his entire being evolved to the most perfect state.

Three Quasi-Immortal Emperors arrived at the same time. Apart from the oldest Quasi-Immortal Emperor known as the Old Man of Extinction, all the Immortal Emperors of the Land of Origin had appeared here.

The Feather Emperor descended, his divinity unmatched throughout history. His pair of divine eyes were cold as he looked at Jiang Xuan: “As a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, you fail to recognize the heavenly secrets. Meeting three beings of the same level as me, do you think you can defy the heavens today?”

The cold killing intent erupted, and the Feather Emperor held an Emperor's spear in his hand, its tip dripping with blood, scarlet and glaring, the blood of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

In the Era of Emperor's Fall, a Quasi-Immortal Emperor had invaded the Land of Origin and ultimately died. Clearly, that unknown Quasi-Immortal Emperor had died at their hands.

“You can try,” Jiang Xuan replied coldly. So what if there were three Quasi-Immortal Emperors? His achievement of Quasi-Immortal Emperor meant a preliminary transcendence of his original life level, not to mention his understanding of the Dao had already reached another level.

Moreover, he cultivated the Dao of Time and Space. If he wanted to leave, who in this world, apart from that Corpse Immortal Emperor, could stop him?

“Heh! Foolish!” The Hong Emperor scoffed, purple aura surrounding him, overwhelming the world, as a large hand pressed down, shattering the void.

“You think you can kill me with such tricks?” Jiang Xuan snorted, his three bodies merging into one, raising his fist to strike, shattering the infinite galaxy, blasting open that large hand with a single punch.

“Die!” The Cang Emperor shouted, his brow glowing, protecting his primordial spirit. A bone ruler appeared in his hand, falling fiercely, splitting open myriad worlds, a bottomless crack appearing in the Sea of Realms.

“Get lost!” Jiang Xuan roared, the Tianqian Sword unsheathed, severing the universe, intercepting the river of time, colliding with the bone ruler with a bang.

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out, and a crack appeared on the Tianqian Sword. This battle had come too quickly, and he had not had time to reforge the Tianqian Sword after advancing to Quasi-Immortal Emperor. In terms of weapon quality, he was ultimately inferior.

However, there was not a trace of worry on Jiang Xuan's face, but rather a smile, as if he sensed something.

“You're still smiling when death is at hand!” The Cang Emperor sneered. He could see that Jiang Xuan's battle weapon was inferior to his bone ruler. This was not a Quasi-Immortal Emperor weapon, and they had the upper hand at this moment!

“Why shouldn't I smile? Haven't you noticed yet?” Jiang Xuan said with a smile, his tone calm.

“Notice wha… How is this possible?!” The Hong Emperor suddenly roared, his tone filled with disbelief.

The Cang Emperor and Feather Emperor also noticed, their expressions shaken. As Quasi-Immortal Emperors, they would be able to detect the appearance of another being of the same realm immediately, just like Jiang Xuan, whose existence the Cang Emperor had discovered.

But now, a Quasi-Immortal Emperor had emerged out of thin air, and even they did not know where he came from!

“Strange! Why… that aura is the same as yours!” The Feather Emperor suddenly exclaimed in surprise. He sensed an existence with an identical aura to Jiang Xuan. This was incredible. Even if they came from the same lineage, it was impossible for their auras to be the same; there would be differences.

After all, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm was not easily attained. Those who could step into this realm had all pioneered a Great Dao. Even if a latecomer walked his path to the limit, it would be difficult to reach this stage.

“What do you think?” Jiang Xuan chuckled. Why was it the same? Because it was originally him!

His previous actions were just stalling for time, waiting for his clone to achieve Quasi-Immortal Emperor. It was also at the moment when his clone became a Quasi-Immortal Emperor that Jiang Xuan displayed his true strength, forcefully defeating the Cang Emperor.

And now, with the Cang, Hong, and Feather Emperors arriving together, his clone had also become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. In terms of combat power, even if the clone had only just entered the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, fighting three against two was not difficult.

It was only the Old Man of Extinction, who had one foot in the Immortal Emperor realm, far surpassing the other three Emperors, who would be more difficult to defeat.

Deep within the Sea of Realms, terrifying divine might erupted, its flames reaching the sky. Even Immortal Kings and peerless figures dared not watch. Then, sacred voices descended upon the myriad realms, and in the Immortal Domain, a great battle also erupted.

The Fallen Immortal Kings who had been residing in the depths of the Sea of Realms all gathered, charging towards the Immortal Domain, vast and mighty, carrying endless killing intent. Mortals were stained with hot blood, inevitably feeling despair in the face of the Fallen Immortal Kings.

Even though the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Domain had returned one after another in recent years, even the Butcher, the Chicken Farmer, and the Fake Medicine Seller had returned from the depths of the Sea of Realms, joining the battle in this era.

Immortal blood flowed, dyeing countless great domains red. Corpses fell one after another, turning into immortal heroic spirits, guarding the Immortal Domain.

Shi Hao also fought fiercely in heaven and earth. He had been cultivating in seclusion as Jiang Xuan had instructed, but when the war broke out, he resolutely joined the battle, fighting against the dark creatures. Even the giants among the Fallen Immortal Kings could not gain an advantage in his hands, and were even crushed by him.

He was a true battle immortal, peerless and unmatched, invincible in the world. The Kun Peng evolved to the supreme, the True Phoenix revived from nirvana, the Undying Method struck across the vast universe, and the Sword Art severed the heavens and earth...

All kinds of peerless treasures shone brightly in his hands, suppressing and killing countless enemies. However, no matter how strong his power was, he was ultimately only one person, unable to reverse the overall situation.

Countless epochs had passed since the Corpse Immortal Emperor corrupted darkness. Generation after generation, countless ancient kings had fallen into darkness, and countless kings were born in the darkness.

They could not be killed completely or exterminated, as if they were endless.

But just a few hundred years after the outbreak of the war, a narrow gap suddenly opened in the void, as if connecting to an endless zone, and several powerful and transcendent auras emanated from it, suppressing the universe.

Boom!

Limitless immortal light fell, and a figure stepped out from it, transcending all living beings, invulnerable to time, and immortal through the ages. His will reached the heavens, like an unparalleled Emperor, and a wisp of his aura crushed the years.

“An Emperor!”

“How can another Emperor appear?!”

“Where did he come from? Who is he?!”

In the Sea of Realms, the dark creatures and their kings panicked. They could not mistake that will. It was definitely an Emperor who overlooked the universe, with vast power and infinite divine might.

But they could not understand. In just a few hundred years, two Emperors had appeared one after another. This was unbelievable, never seen in the history of time.

However, before they could think more, a hand fell with a boom, the Sea of Realms boiling, the river of time faintly visible, stirring up waves that crashed down, turning into invisible blades of time, cutting off vitality and extinguishing true spirits.

“No!”

Countless Fallen Immortal Kings fled in panic, but how could they escape the hands of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, instantly being annihilated.

“There are more Fallen Immortal Kings coming from the depths of the Sea of Realms. I will go to the other shore to join the battle. Be prepared.”

Jiang Xuan did not linger, but left a word, then stepped into the Sea of Realms, heading towards the other shore.

He knew very well that there were too many Fallen Immortal Kings in the Sea of Realms to kill them all. He could not waste time hunting them in the Sea of Realms, at most killing a few along the way to the other shore.

But ultimately, there would still be many Fallen Immortal Kings who reached this shore and waged war against the Immortal Domain, unless the war with the Four Emperors ended as soon as possible, so that he could completely free his hands to suppress and kill the Fallen Immortal Kings.

...

In a desolate universe, cold and dark, silent for billions of years, a change occurred today.

A broken corpse suddenly opened its eyes, the light it shot out piercing through the universe. The two beams were more terrifying than immortal swords, looking from afar like two bolts of lightning erupting in the darkness, breaking the silence.

It only had one leg, the other missing its foot. It also only had one arm. It was very incomplete. The hair on its head was as yellow as weeds. The whole person gave a very ancient feeling, having experienced the sedimentation of years.

Buzz!

It raised its only hand, pointing in a certain direction, as if it were pulling something.

In the next moment, in another universe, an arm moved, suddenly rising into the air, passing through the boundary wall, and appearing here.

At the same time, deep in the Sea of Realms, a severed leg stained with blood tore through chaos and came.

In this broken universe, the broken corpse reattached the severed hands and feet. In the darkness, its body was almost invisible, with only an outline, but its eyes became more and more blazing, like two small suns in the darkness, glaring and terrifying.

In the next moment, it took a step, pierced through the void, broke through the boundary wall, descended into the Sea of Realms with boundless pressure, quickly approaching, and soon saw a living being walking on an ancient palace of reception.

“Old Man of Extinction!”

The advancing clone also saw that being. Its speed was extremely fast, traversing the Sea of Realms. The dark will on its body was extremely heavy, and its aura was extremely ancient and extraordinary!

Jiang Xuan knew that the Old Man of Extinction had once tried to make the ultimate leap. Although he had failed, he had been able to undergo nirvana, with one foot stepping into the Immortal Emperor realm, far surpassing the Cang, Hong, and Feather Emperors.

“Amazing, an incarnation can also be cultivated to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm…” Just as Jiang Xuan was thinking, the Old Man of Extinction had already arrived hundreds of millions of miles away, his eyes burning, seeing through the essence at a glance.

Jiang Xuan’s clone was not careless, but not too afraid either. Even though the Old Man of Extinction had one foot in the Immortal Emperor realm, he had not succeeded after all. A slight difference was a great error. He still had an essential gap with the Immortal Emperor and could only be regarded as a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

And in the same realm, it would be difficult for the other party to kill him.

“Little friend, why bother? At your level and mine, what can’t you let go of? You and I are the same kind of people. There are only a few Quasi-Immortal Emperors, so why kill each other? Why not let go of prejudice and join me in comprehending the ultimate creation? Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

The Old Man of Extinction sighed softly, lamenting the unprecedented glorious time and space of the six Quasi-Immortal Emperors, but they had to kill each other.

Of course, he was more interested in Jiang Xuan’s incarnation method, which allowed a living being to cultivate an incarnation of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, even if it was only one, which was incredible and a supreme method.

“Thinking you are transcendent, you don’t know there is a heaven beyond the heavens. We are different from you.” Jiang Xuan said indifferently. In the myriad realms, he had seen countless heroes, but those who ultimately reached the peak were those who never forgot their original intentions. Like the Old Man of Extinction and the others, who thought they were transcendent, but had long extinguished their original intentions, they could not see the ultimate realm at all.

“The Great Dao is ruthless, and eventually you will be like this, severing emotions and desires. The reason you can’t let go now is because you are still young. After the baptism of years, when your heart is old and everything you cared about and valued has vanished, you will understand that only my Dao is eternal.” The old man was very peaceful, without any emotion caused by Jiang Xuan’s words.

“The Great Dao is both ruthless and affectionate. Forgetting your original intention, your path is broken.” Jiang Xuan’s voice came again, directly denying the Old Man of Extinction’s Dao. He would not take that path.

Moreover, with his foundation, he did not need to take that path.

The Old Man of Extinction shook his head with a chuckle, and then said: “We are all the same kind, and sooner or later you will understand. Like the Cang Emperor, the Feather Emperor, and the Hong Emperor, they will eventually embark on this path, looking up to the light in the darkness.”

“It’s useless to say more. Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together!” Jiang Xuan’s main body said in a deep voice, adding time and space to isolate the Great Thousand. Although it could not be said that he did not exist in the past, present, cause, and effect of the future, he had isolated this piece of time and space. Apart from him, it was difficult for any living being to find a way to enter it.

“Alas…”

The Old Man of Extinction sighed, but then his eyes became sharp, filled with killing intent. He was originally the first Jiuyou Hound, destroying countless great worlds, so how could he be soft-hearted.

Since Jiang Xuan had refused many times, it was impossible for him to hold back any longer. Mighty divine power was added to his body, and infinite destructive will enveloped him. In an instant, he seemed to have turned into the source of destruction, his will collapsing ancient universes.

On the other side, Jiang Xuan’s main body had also started a battle with the Three Emperors. The Feather Emperor flapped his pair of divine wings, heaven and earth collapsing, the rain of light like a sea, almost tearing apart the Sea of Realms.

The Cang Emperor held a bone ruler, chaotic energy surging, suppressing the Sea of Realms. Among the four Quasi-Immortal Emperors, he was the most seriously injured, but at this time, there was no avoiding it. Once the Emperor’s war broke out, he would inevitably be involved.

The Hong Emperor’s purple aura was full of energy, immortal energy surging, divine light turned into eternity, and laws intertwined into a net. This place was filled with misty light, a magnificent sight, terrifying.

These three Quasi-Immortal Emperors were all ready to attack, their eyes flashing with killing intent.

“Fight!” Jiang Xuan smiled indifferently, unparalleled will crushing over, walking on the sky, the will to dominate all living beings erupting, directly suppressing the Feather Emperor!

At the same time, the Dao of Time and Space also erupted, but it was even more mysterious, as if it was the source of time, controlling all time, as if standing at the end of the time point.

The other was to transform into three lives, severing the past, present, and future, turning time into a ring, which was both the starting point of all time and the end point of all time.

The river of years rolled up terrifying waves, impacting the great world. The two were like being in the fundamental place of time, and no living being could resist.

In the next moment, the Sea of Realms roared, almost exploding. The waves rolled up hundreds of millions of feet, and the power penetrated the three thousand great realms. Both sides of the Sea of Realms could feel that terrifying aura.
