Chapter 2200: From Ancient Times to the Present, Only This One Person

Great Primordial Chaos World, Primordial Dao Court.

The summit of the mysterious and beautiful True Emptiness Mountain was the core of the Primordial Dao Court.

“How is that…possible?!”

Sect Leader Lu Hengtian was stunned by the shocking news from the Ancient Nebula Underworld. He appeared as if struck by lightning, his mind nearly spiraling out of control.

Battle Emperor Zangliu, a sixth level Emperor, was Lu Hengtian’s senior brother, but he was believed to have fallen in Nirvana of Transcendence!

The atmosphere in the hall grew heavy and oppressive. The expressions of the high-ranking members of the Primordial Dao Court were dark, each struggling with inner turmoil, unable to regain their composure.

They also could not accept it.

A total of nine Emperors from the Primordial Dao Court went to Nirvana of Transcendence, but six failed to return, including sixth level Emperor Zangliu, two fifth level Emperors and three fourth level Emperors.

As for the three who survived, their cultivation was at or below the third realm Emperor Stage.

The loss was undoubtedly a devastating blow.

It should be noted that after that earthshaking chess match, the path to the other side of the cosmos reappeared in the world, offering many old monster Emperors the chance to journey there.

At that time, some old antiques of the Primordial Dao Court also left, leaving around only twenty old monster Emperors in the sect.

Unfortunately, they had suddenly lost six of them!

This blow was truly too much to bear.

The Primordial Dao Court, one of the Great Six Courts revered and feared throughout the world for its ancient and solid foundation, had now suffered such a tremendous blow.

It was imaginable that the other forces that participated in the Nirvana of Transcendence were bound to have suffered similarly disastrous losses.

“A wanted criminal from Fangchun Mountain not only became a supreme Emperor but also obtained the fortune of Eternal Supremacy! The heavens are simply blind!” Lu Hengtian raged, his face turning terrifyingly livid. It had been years since anyone saw him lose his temper like this.

“Sect Leader, that boy has grown very strong. According to the reports, with his newly acquired Emperor Stage power, he is already capable of contending with sixth realm Emperors. If he is still alive...he will undoubtedly pose a huge threat to us!” someone said gravely.

At present, with the news emerging from the Ancient Nebula Underworld, no one dared to definitively conclude whether Lin Xun was dead or alive, leaving many in a state of unease and apprehension.

“If he’s alive, doesn’t that mean Senior Brother Zangliu might also be alive?” Someone couldn’t help but ask.

Someone immediately answered, “It’s hard to say. Lin Xun was able to obtain the fortune of Eternal Supremacy, so how would he be eliminated by the Nirvana of Transcendence? On the contrary, Senior Brother Zangliu and the others…”

Even if he didn’t finish his sentence, everyone knew what he meant.

“Sect Leader, regardless of the situation, we must plan ahead. Considering the deep-seated enmity between us and Fangchun Mountain, as well as the repeated actions we’ve taken against Lin Xun over the years, if he walks out of Nirvana of Transcendence alive, he will certainly not spare us!” someone urged worriedly. “The reports also mentioned that the boy declared in Nirvana of Transcendence that one day, he would step into the various worlds of the starry sky and visit his enemies one by one.”

This sent a chill down everyone’s spine. If a youngster who had reached the Supreme Emperor Stage and possessed the potential of Eternal Supremacy were to seek revenge, the consequences would indeed be catastrophic!

“Ridiculous! There are countless sects in the starry sky. How could a mere remnant of Fangchun Mountain think that he can do whatever he pleases just because he’s a supreme Emperor?” someone sneered disdainfully.

Another person’s voice was filled with regret, “Sigh, who could have imagined that a tiny ant we once dismissed would now possess the potential to threaten us?”

This was indeed hard to accept. In the past, although Lin Xun’s name had shaken the starry sky, which ancient sect or clan had ever taken him seriously?

Who would have thought that this little ant could one day pose a threat to them?

“Everyone, don’t forget that Heavenly Emperor Shi is still around!” someone suddenly spoke up, “Lin Xun is wanted by Heavenly Emperor Shi. Now that he’s reached such a powerful level, do you think Heavenly Emperor Shi will just sit back and watch?”

Those words made everyone’s eyes light up.

In the end, Lu Hengtian took a deep breath and made a decision. “We can’t rely solely on Heavenly Emperor Shi. From today on, we must do everything we can to gather information about that boy Lin Xun. If he’s dead, I want to know where he fell. If he’s alive, I want to track his every move!”

On this day, the entire Primordial Dao Court was shaken.

Similar to the Primordial Dao Court, the ancient dao courts, such as Heaven and Earth, Panwu, All-Demon and Mythical Huang, the Great Ten Battle Clans, and several Primeval Imperial Clans, also received the news one after another. For a time, they were all thrown into a state of shock.

They were filled with disbelief, anger, panic, and a sense of depression.

Lin Xun!

The name they had long been familiar with now seemed to carry an unsettling shadow, looming over every major force.

……

As time went on, the entire Ancient Nebula Road was engulfed in uproar, with every world and city discussing nothing but the same name.

Lin Daoyuan, Lin Xun!

He was a legend that illuminated the starry sky, shining like the great sun!

“It’s only been a few years, yet he has reached the Supreme Emperor Stage. Great, amazing!”

Ziheng Star Field, Great Yu World, the Yu Clan.

Upon hearing the news about Lin Xun, Blade Emperor Qingyang Yu Qingyang couldn’t help but burst into laughter, his voice reverberating through the sky.

When Lin Xun first arrived in the Ancient Nebula Road, Yu Qingyang had looked after him and gave him the World-Guarding Nine Cauldrons Scripture.

“Little Friend, I don’t wish for any repayment. I just hope that one day, you’ll come back and visit this old man, so that I can witness the brilliance of a supreme Emperor...” Yu Qingyang sighed with emotion.

Supreme Emperor!

The weight of these two words had overshadowed countless Emperors throughout history.

……

White Emperor Star Field, Jintian Great World.

𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Primeval Imperial Jintian Clan.

When the news of the Nirvana of Transcendence reached the Jintian Clan, everyone was struck dumb. However, there was something odd in their expression, and the atmosphere felt strange and tense.

This was because they knew that the most beautiful woman in the White Emperor Star Field, Jintian Xuanyue, a rising star of their Jintian Clan’s younger generation, had become a cultivator attendant to Lin Daoyuan years ago.

This was difficult for the entire clan to accept, and many felt ashamed and humiliated. If not for Sword Emperor Brave Gale opposing the opposition and suppressing the matter, the high-ranking members of the Jintian Clan would have already gone to settle accounts with Lin Xun and brought Jintian Xuanyue back.

Particularly seven years ago, when they found out that Jintian Xuanyue would rather abandon her surname and sever all connections with the clan to continue following Lin Xun, it sparked a furious backlash, with many in the clan demanding her capture and severe punishment.

However, who would have thought that, just seven years later, the Fangchun Mountain disciple who they had deemed unworthy would rise to become a supreme Emperor and seize the fortune of Eternal Supremacy!

He even single-handedly slaughtered a group of old monster Emperors from various worlds across the starry sky, utterly crushing them!

He was now Emperor Daoyuan, a name that resonated throughout the starry sky! An unrivaled Emperor who struck fear into the hearts of many ancient sects and clans!

This fact not only sent shockwaves through the entire Jintian Clan, but also stirred up a mix of subtle and complex emotions.

The voices that had once clamored to capture and punish Jintian Xuanyue fell silent. Who would dare to snatch someone under the protection of Emperor Daoyuan?

Even if that someone was a direct descendant of their Jintian Clan!

“Xuanyue is not a child anymore, it’s time for her to seek her own path. From now on, no one should slander or criticize Xuanyue behind her back!”

On this day, the patriarch of the Jintian Clan issued a firm order, and no one in the clan dared to raise any objections.

After Sword Emperor Brave Gale learned this, he couldn’t help but wonder,

if Heavenly Emperor Shi were to be defeated one day, wouldn’t Lin Xun reign supreme over the Ancient Nebula Road?

At that time, with Jintian Xuanyue’s connection to Lin Xun, the status of the Jintian Clan...will likely rise as well!

With this thought, Sword Emperor Brave Gale’s heart raced with excitement, but he quickly regained his composure, knowing that as long as Heavenly Emperor Shi was alive, he would remain the greatest threat to Lin Xun!

……

The Ancient Nebula Road was composed of nine vast star fields, each containing numerous worlds of different sizes, making it an incredibly expansive realm.

In those worlds, some extraordinary talents shone brightly in a city, some dominated an entire area and some stood unrivalled in a region.

Some were even among the best in a certain star field.

There were many such people in the vast Ancient Nebula Road. They were the prodigies and geniuses in their respective worlds and domains.

Yet, in the grand scheme of the world, they were but a drop in the ocean.

Throughout the ages, only a select few had managed to make their names known throughout the entire Ancient Nebula Road.

After all, the Ancient Nebula Road was too vast.

But in recent times, the name of Emperor Daoyuan Lin Xun had spread to every world, every territory, and every city in the Ancient Nebula Road!

This was the effect of becoming a supreme Emperor and obtaining the fortune of Eternal Supremacy in Nirvana of Transcendence! A legendary feat accomplished solely by Lin Xun!

From ancient times to the present, he was the only one.

……

When Xuan Jiuyin, Jintian Xuanyue, Ling Kezi, and the others heard the news, they thought they were dreaming. It took a long while for them to believe it, and by then, their emotions were in turmoil.

Mi Wuya and Ling Hongzhuang, who were once Lin Xun’s equal rivals, were speechless in astonishment.

Not only did they feel no jealousy or envy, but instead an indescribable bitterness and helplessness washed over them instead.

“Being a genius from the same generation as Lin Xun is undoubtedly the most unfortunate fate in history...” Countless people sighed in emotions.

Now, Lin Xun had already surpassed the brilliant figures of his generation. In the future, as long as he lived, he was destined to surpass the mighty authorities of the older generation given his terrifying foundation and boundless potential!

In other words, throughout all ages, any cultivator in the same cultivation stage as him was destined to be overshadowed by his brilliance!

Similarly, once the cultivators in the Ancient Nebula Road regained their composure, they shared the same question:

Is Emperor Daoyuan Lin Xun still alive?

If he survived and managed to leave Nirvana of Transcendence, how was he going to deal with the threat from Heavenly Emperor Shi?
