Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1643 - 439 Turmoil in the Ancient Era_2

Chapter 1643 -439 Turmoil in the Ancient Era_2

In that place, a figure soared into the sky, undergoing the baptism of the myriad phenomena of the heavens and the primordial power of the Dao itself.

“Pei Yi!”

When his identity was realized, Bi Yu and his companions immediately turned pale.

Even Gu Qingyan appeared, her brilliant eyes filled with gravity. She looked toward Pei Yi, whose body was absorbing the essence of ten thousand sources, transforming and ascending to an unprecedented state, with every shackle within him completely broken!

“Has another supreme being emerged?” murmured the powerful cultivators in the realms of Dao Inquiry and Primordial.

At this moment, high above in the firmament, Pei Yi was accepting the baptism of primordial power, feeling his strength growing at an unimaginable speed. A faint smile began to grace his lips, widening further and further, until at last a booming laughter rang out, shaking the Six Harmonies and the Eight Desolations.

“From this day forward, I shall reign supreme over the heavens and stand as the leader of all realms!”

Pei Yi’s voice echoed forth, spreading across the myriad realms in an instant under the power of the heavenly Dao.

“This is a dire situation!” fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Bi Yu and his companions grimaced deeply; they would have never imagined that after two millennia, it would be Pei Yi who had claimed the essence of the realms—a scenario they most wished to avoid.

“The Emperor Court’s ruler fell two millennia ago, and all of that is now in the past. From this moment, I shall unify the myriad realms and lead them into a new tomorrow. As the Lord of the Heavenly Court, I will command the Six Harmonies and the Eight Desolations!”

As Pei Yi declared, the essence of the myriad realms merged into him. He announced the establishment of the Heavenly Court, inviting all powerful cultivators to join, positioning himself as its supreme ruler who would dominate the realms.

As for the Ancient Emperor Court, at that very moment, it became a relic of the past.

“Founding the Heavenly Court is clearly meant to oppose us directly. He’s certainly bold!” Wu Tian’s expression turned icy, his fists clenched tightly.

Bi Yu and the others fell silent. They could already foresee that the establishment of the Heavenly Court would inevitably lead to the complete disintegration of the Ancient Emperor Court, and without question, Pei Yi would not spare them.

After all, the alliance of five supreme cultivators was still terrifyingly powerful. Pei Yi would never allow them to act freely; they either had to submit to the Heavenly Court and accept his authority or go to war against him.

Without completely supplanting the Ancient Emperor Court, Pei Yi’s Heavenly Court would remain a farce, and he would never permit that.

As expected, on the same day, an invitation was delivered to the headquarters of the Ancient Emperor Court in the East Profound Region. The words written on it were overwhelmingly forceful: Submit or die!

Bi Yu and the others turned pale as they read it, their faces growing dark as iron. Yet they knew all too well that they could not stand in the way of the tide of a new era.

Meanwhile, Pei Yi’s newly established force, now known as the Heavenly Court, began to take shape.

A grand hall, resplendently adorned, stood in their headquarters. It bore an uncanny resemblance to the main hall of the Ancient Emperor Court but surpassed it in opulence, its golden hues highlighting its extraordinary grandeur.

This had been Pei Yi’s explicit order.

At this moment, he sat upon the emperor’s throne at the top, his gaze severe, looking down upon those below like a sovereign descending into the mortal world.

Aside from Qi Ling, who had attained the supreme realm, the others were Dao Inquiry cultivators, many of them newly sworn to allegiance.

“From this day onward, the Ancient Emperor Court shall vanish from the upper realms. Only the Heavenly Court shall endure eternally!” Pei Yi’s words rang out, causing a tremor among the gathered cultivators.

They all understood the intentions of their new supreme leader of the realms.

Pei Yi sat steady upon his throne, his body draped in dragon robes, his commanding voice resounding once more: “Two millennia ago, Emperor Court’s ruler, Gu Chen, acted on his own volition, leading his armies into battle against the Netherworld, causing the tragic deaths of countless mighty cultivators. That war deeply scarred the myriad realms, severing the progression of champions of the heavens. All of this was a direct result of his autocratic recklessness. He underestimated the strength of the Netherworld, leading those warriors to their demise!”

At Pei Yi’s words, even Qi Ling trembled slightly. None among them had expected Pei Yi’s ambitions extended beyond simply erasing the Ancient Emperor Court’s influence over the upper realms.

The war of two millennia ago was known to many present, and some of them had firsthand knowledge of secrets and truths conflicting deeply with Pei Yi’s recounting. Even so, now, no one dared voice dissent.

Pei Yi’s piercing gaze swept across the assembly, his satisfaction evident as he nodded and continued, “The actions of Gu Chen inflicted immense harm upon the myriad realms. How could a man of such faults be worthy of remembrance in the annals of history? His atrocities ought to be engraved into the chronicles, serving as cautionary tales for future generations. What say you?”

“We act solely at the command of the Heavenly Court’s Lord,”

Below, Qi Ling led the other Dao Inquiry cultivators to bow deeply, offering ceremonious obeisance to the supreme figure seated above them.

Satisfied by their compliance, Pei Yi’s expression grew even more triumphant. “Since this is so, what are you waiting for? Spread the news far and wide, ensure that no life across the upper realms remains ignorant of the truth.”

“As you wish.” Qi Ling and the others bowed and swiftly withdrew.

Once the hall cleared, a sinister grin tinged with hatred emerged on Pei Yi’s face as he muttered to himself, “Emperor Court’s ruler, Gu Chen, the myriad realms’ supreme? From this day forward, I will ensure you are cursed for eternity—yes, for all time! As long as ancient records endure, all life across the realms shall scorn your very name!”

He understood altering perceptions of Gu Chen would take immense time, but he trusted that the flow of history would eventually bend to his will.

After all, history is written by victors—an unshakable truth since time immemorial.

“Dared you to annihilate my Golden Roc Clan… Gu Chen, even in death, you would never have foreseen such a day for yourself!”

Within the vast and opulent hall, Pei Yi’s cold utterance reverberated.

Few knew that while Pei Yi was the grandmaster of the immortal Dao sect, Man Immortal Palace, his veins also carried the bloodline of the Golden Roc Clan!

The hatred born from the clan’s obliteration had never left him. He once believed such vengeance lay beyond his grasp—until Gu Chen unexpectedly fell.

Thus, two thousand years ago, Pei Yi covertly collected a trace of Gu Chen’s shattered essence and spent a millennium deciphering it until he uncovered the location of the essence of the myriad realms and finally merged with its power!

“I may never know the true cause of your demise, but excessive wickedness invites ruin. Gu Chen, I must still thank you—ha-ha-ha-ha!”

Elsewhere, Qi Ling and the others proceeded with their tasks, rapidly spreading Pei Yi’s orders across the lands, inciting waves of upheaval.

“What? The war two millennia ago was solely caused by the Emperor Court’s ruler acting recklessly, leading to such immense losses?”

“But wasn’t the Emperor Court’s ruler the savior of the upper realms? During the last epoch’s war, without him, wouldn’t the upper realms have been annihilated? Why are these claims surfacing now?”

“Word has it the message comes directly from the new supreme lord of the realms, the Heavenly Court’s ruler. He once held dominion over the Ancient Emperor Court. Perhaps this is the true story behind those years!”

“Impossible! I refuse to believe the Emperor Court’s ruler could be this sort of person!”

As the rumors spread, many younger generations were indeed swayed by the deception.

Yet soon, old-generation cultivators, veterans of the Ancient Emperor Court, stepped out to refute the claims.

“This is all Pei Yi’s scheme! He’s deliberately tarnishing the Emperor Court’s ruler. He’s rewriting history!”

Instantly, the upper realms erupted in turmoil, with conflicting views clashing furiously. But not long after, dissent vanished completely.

Upon hearing such news, Bi Yu’s face grew terrifyingly dark, Wu Tian cursed openly, and even Xia Emperor burned with fury.

Gu Qingyan, too, felt her heart turn frigid upon learning of Pei Yi’s slander against her brother. Were it not for Gu Chen’s uncertain status, she would have stormed directly to confront him.

She turned to her brother’s lifeless body, her expression weary and voice trembling: “Brother, do you see this? The heavens you dedicated yourself to defending have descended into chaos. What happened? When will you awaken?!”
