While Liu Luo was lost in thought, Mengqi had already walked forward. He passed through the scattered golden rays after the collapse of the Sixth Heaven Ancestral Dragon and went deep into the darkness of the prison like a deity walking in the underworld.
Her mind was like a knife that cut off the sudden burst of melancholy. She stepped forward and reminded, "The Sixth Heaven Ancestral Dragon is a congenital spirit. It was formed by the dragon veins of the Celestial Realm. It has long condensed a divine body and is immortal. Now it has collapsed without any remains. I'm afraid that its essence has been absorbed by something, leaving only an empty shell."
And this thing had something to do with the eyes peeping in the darkness and the headless figure jumping out of the Sixth Heaven Ancestral Dragon's divine body!
"I'm very curious. What kind of monster is it?" Mengqi said calmly, "I don't know if it has anything to do with the remnants of the Celestial Realm's prison in the Nirvana Realm."
It was a pity that the Sixth Heaven Ancestral Dragon's slough had turned into ashes. Otherwise, there would be hope to collect a few similar corpses of the old gods and ghosts to match with the Invincible Blade.
After crossing this region, the huge and magnificent stairs appeared again and continued to go down. Mengqi and Mysterious Fairy seemed to be flying in the endless void and almost lost the sense of the passage of time.
After an unknown period of time, another speck of golden light leaped out like a candle flame, quietly burning. As it got closer, this golden flame divided into two, two into four, four into eight, turning into blossoms of pure Yang True Fire that filled the field of vision. The color was pure gold, like the radiance of the sun.
Surrounded by the pure fire, there was a strange three-legged bird with dark golden feathers. It looked divine and hot, melting the void and interfering with time. Its vitality had long passed away, leaving only dead silence and vicissitudes.
"The first three-legged Golden Crow after the separation of the world in this era?" Mengqi looked at the huge statue-like strange bird with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, the fire of the sun was formed and had its own intelligence. It had the first three-legged Golden Crow in this era. In the early ancient times, it was in charge of the authority of the sun, which was equal to light, vitality, fire, time and destruction. It was one of the few powerful gods." The tone of the Mysterious Fairy of Jiutian remained normal, "But it was later defeated by the Celestial Ruler and deprived of the authority of the sun. He gave part of it to Xi and made him the God of Sun."
The Grand Sun and the Cold Moon of the Real World were not stars in the ordinary sense. They were born in different heavens of the Celestial World and projected in the Myriad Worlds, turning into corresponding authorities and having naturally formed illusory Great Ways. Therefore, in the history of many intelligent creatures in the universe, they initially regarded the symbolic Sun God as the Celestial Ruler.
The two talked casually, as if they were in a tea room. They ignored the darkness, the malicious peeping and the strong sense of existence of the original Golden Crow.
Right at this moment, light erupted, and an expanse of incandescence appeared. The true flames of the sun swept outwards, igniting the void. That three-legged golden crow opened its eyes, looking down from above. Its paleness flickered, and it truly had the majesty of an emperor at its peak.
In the Age of Ancient Mythology, "Emperor" and "Sovereign" were not titles that could be used casually. Both titles contained the will of a supreme being that ruled over gods, mortals, and demons.
Meng Qi didn't move in the face of such a powerful force. He looked at Liu Luo with a smile and transmitted his True Spirit,
"Mysterious Fairy Lady, can you handle this?"
Liu Luo did not say a word. The figure of the three-legged Golden Crow was reflected in her eyes, excluding the white light and the True Fire of the Sun.
In an instant, the Sea of Bitterness surged and time rushed. The three terrifying Golden Crows suddenly stopped.
As soon as they stopped, a red sword beam rose from the hands of the Mysterious Fairy of Jiutian. It swallowed all the True Fire of the Sun along the way and absorbed all the white light. Only a red glow was left in the darkness.
The sword beam passed by and the three Golden Crows suddenly made a crisp sound. A gap appeared and it split in the middle. Before it fell to the ground, it looked like it had been weathered for a long time. The immortal body turned into light spots and a headless figure jumped out of the body and went into the darkness behind.
"Good sword art. You are indeed the Great God in charge of the conquest of the ancient Celestial Court," Mengqi clapped and smiled.
Liu Luo kept the sword in her sleeves and did not comment on Mengqi's praise. She said seriously, "I think I know the origin of the headless figure."
"I'd like to hear more." Mengqi looked at her.
"The subordinate of the original owner of my sword, Xing Tian, was beheaded by the Heaven Sovereign but did not die. I did not expect that he was suppressed here. Now it is a bit strange." A clear sound of the sword came from Liu Luo's sleeves.
Mengqi nodded slightly and said, "The Red Emperor?"
Sure enough, such a figure had a mythical prototype …
"Yes, although the six Ancestral Dragons, the original Golden Crows and other old Gods of the Nine Heavens used to compete with the Heaven Sovereign for the supreme throne, his most powerful enemies were the other two. One of them was the Red Emperor. He was not only the emperor of many creatures on earth but also the Supreme Being who dominated half of the Celestial World. In a sense, he could already be called the Heaven Sovereign. Later, after a long and arduous war and countless ups and downs, the situation was gradually turned around by the Heaven Sovereign. It was not until the Heaven Sovereign broke through the limit of the innate gods with the help of the Seven-Kill Tablet that he finally won the war."
After a short pause, she continued, "The Red Emperor was arrogant and unwilling to surrender. He turned his body into a sword. Xing Tian inherited the remnants of his army and was finally captured alive and beheaded in public. However, his willpower was extremely strong. He was able to confuse the real and the dead. He used his nipples as his eyes and his navel as his mouth. He survived and rebelled again."
Mengqi nodded thoughtfully and said, "The Heaven Sovereign did not crush his bones and scattered his ashes. Instead, he suppressed him here and forbade the gods from entering and exiting. Every time he went out for patrol, he would come to the Heavenly Prison. I'm afraid that he had arranged something and plotted something …"
Both of them were a little serious, but they did not stop walking. The conveyance light moved forward along the stairs and continued to go deeper.
After that, they passed through many layers of places where the six Ancestral Dragons, the original Golden Crows and other old gods and ghosts were imprisoned. However, they were all empty. It seemed that the spies in the dark had completely understood that such obstructions were useless and no longer wasted their efforts.
Again and again, when Mengqi felt that he was about to go through the ages, he finally saw some floating lights again.
The huge and magnificent stairs stopped here. In front of them floated a little flame, surrounding a black-robed Emperor who looked down!
His aura was terrible and vast, and the intention of death was surging. It turned into a dark fire that could burn the divine light of nature. There was a vague intertwining Taoist pattern between his eyebrows. He looked like a god, a ghost, a fairy, and a demon. Obviously, he was more powerful than the six Ancestral Dragons and the original Golden Crows who were deprived of their authority.
At this time, Liu Luo, the Fairy of the Nine Heavens, sighed and said,
"Cheng Tang …"
Cheng Tang, the founder of the Yinshang Dynasty, was said to be the descendant of the Mysterious Bird and the Human Tribe. He was half god and half human and ruled the earth. The demon race, human race, and the Earthly Gods all bowed to him.
Facing the stare of the black-robed and high-crowned Emperor, Mengqi did not feel any ripple in his heart and said, "According to what you said, in the ancient times, the title of 'Emperor' was the symbol of ruling the heavens and the earth. It meant the Emperor of Heaven. The kings of the Yinshang Dynasty all had the title of Emperor. Even King Zhou's real name was Di Xin. Heh, it seems that another powerful enemy of the Emperor of Heaven was Cheng Tang of the Yinshang Dynasty. The Battle of Gods Investiture was not just to enrich the gods of the Heavenly Court."
The Zhou Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty did not dare to call themselves emperors. They were kings from generation to generation until the fall of the Heavenly Court, the end of the ancient times, and the death of the emperor.
"Cheng Tang was half god and half human. He was the descendant of the Mysterious Bird. At that time, he had the support of Lord Lingbao and the Demon King. He wanted to fight against the Heavenly Court with the earth and conquer the heavens. He wanted to rule the gods, human race, and the demon race. He was the last obstacle to the Emperor of Heaven." Liu Luo looked at Cheng Tang who was watching quietly and nodded slightly, "And Cheng Tang's ambition was more than that. He wanted to build an everlasting foundation. When he was alive, he dismembered his body and accepted the incense. He became the Ghost Emperor and opened up the underworld. He wanted to establish the underworld and swallow the Immortal World. He wanted the descendants of the Yinshang Dynasty to be emperors when they were alive and to be emperors after death. He wanted to unify the Immortal World, the Nine Serenities, and the earth."
Mengqi was surprised. When he was about to ask, the Ghost Emperor Cheng Tang who was floating in the air opened his mouth and said in a low and hoarse voice,
"Retreat quickly and don't disturb him."
Don't disturb him? Mengqi and Liu Luo looked at each other in surprise.
