Chapter 96: Four Thousand Years, Finally Complete

Everyone was shocked, extremely puzzled, and full of disbelief. This must be a dead person, his body even smelled like a corpse.

Yes, this smell would waft out every time a wisp of black mist overflowed, making people want to vomit, the stench was so bad that it was almost unbearable.

"Your body is clearly dead, so why are you still alive?" One of the thirteen Saint Lords couldn't help but ask. They were all overlords, and even when facing a being that had lived for four thousand years, they were not afraid and dared to ask directly.

“Except for those with the Divine King Body, how many people in this world can live beyond four thousand years old? All the old saints in history walked into the wilderness when their lifespans were about to run out in their later years, but who can appear in the world again alive?” The old man trembled.

He slowly walked to the Great Emperor's array, observed it carefully and spoke slowly: "Four thousand years of immortality only exists in legends. When the old saints of previous generations ran out of life in their later years, most of them chose to enter the Great Wilderness, but no one could return to the world again. It is a miracle that I can return to this mortal world."

"You..." Everyone looked at him in shock, wanting to find out more.

The old man took a deep breath and frankly admitted: "You don't have to be so surprised. I don't have the power to defy the heavens. My body is indeed dead, but my spirit survives."

“How on earth was this done?” the thirteen Saint Lord-level figures asked eagerly. Some of them had already felt their lifespan slipping away and were eager to answer this question.

"In the past, Jiang Taixu dominated the world. I and two other friends were chased by him and had no way to escape, so we fled to the Immortal Mountain. Unfortunately, surviving a disaster does not necessarily mean good fortune in the future. We did not get the immortal medicine, but accidentally ate a Yinming grass..."

"Yinming Grass?!" everyone exclaimed, and instantly understood why the old man was able to be reborn, and stopped asking any more questions.

“Senior, is there any way to quickly break this incomplete imperial formation?” The thirteen Saint Lord-level figures beside him did not pay too much attention to his way of survival, but were eager to resolve the crisis at hand.

The old evildoer signaled everyone to stay calm, and then shouted to the outside of the underground palace: "You two living dead should be here by now. The three of us can work together to break this incomplete corner of the emperor's formation pattern within half an hour."

"Hehe..." Immediately afterwards, a cold and sinister laugh sounded.

At the entrance of the underground palace, two skinny figures slowly emerged. The aura of death emanating from them was extremely strong, and a wisp of black mist would float out almost every few breaths.

"It seems that the three of us are the same. We have been corroded by the dark power and will not live more than ten years." One of the old monsters said. Their voices were hollow and hoarse, giving people a creepy feeling.

"As long as we break the formation and eat Jiang Taixu, we may be able to survive!" The words of the three old monsters made everyone present shudder. They seemed to have lost their humanity and regarded the old God King Jiang Taixu as an immortal elixir in human form.

"Thirteen little guys, step aside and watch how we break the formation here!" Three half-human, half-ghost beings seemed to have walked out of hell, exuding a strong breath of death.

The thirteen Saint Lords looked indifferent and silently stepped aside. Although they were not afraid of the three old evildoers, they were not angry at their words, because they were more concerned about how to resolve the crisis in front of them.

······
"Colorful clouds!" The God King Jiang Taixu ignored those saint-level figures and the three half-human, half-ghost old guys. He looked up and stared at the night sky, as if he saw something.

"Jiang Taixu, don't be anxious! Fairy Caiyun can still hold on for a while, just wait and see how I help her!" As she spoke, Zixia summoned the Lihuo Furnace, turned it into a beam of fire, and rushed towards the Hengyu Holy Furnace.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the heaven and earth shook, the Hengyu furnace shone brightly, and the holy light of phoenix blood and red gold instantly flooded the entire Chenggu City, and the people in the city were all shocked. Above the clouds, the sound of the Great Dao sounded, as if the ancient heaven had descended to the mortal world, releasing unparalleled great Dao divine power, covering the entire city.

"What happened?"

Immediately afterwards, almost everyone could not bear the sudden and tremendous pressure and fell to the ground.

Zixia's mind moved, and she activated the Lihuo Divine Furnace, urging it to unleash greater power.

"rumble……"

The divine fire shot up into the sky. After the Lihuo Divine Furnace was activated, a terrifying wave erupted. Nine divine birds shot up into the sky. A sun hung in the sky, illuminating all directions.

"This is……"

Ye Fan, who was beside Zixia, was shocked. He had used this furnace before, but had never seen its powerful power. At this moment, the Lihuo Furnace was almost comparable to the emperor's holy weapon.

"What's going on?" The people from the Jiang family were also stunned. They had never seen such a scene.

"Who! Who made this artifact?" An elder from the Jiang family looked around.

"I know. This is the treasure that my Jiang family lost countless years ago!" Jiang Yun's eyes shone with a strange light, and he recognized the Lihuolu.

“In the past, the ancestor God King went out to look for it because he knew its whereabouts, but he eventually disappeared without a trace.” Another elder from the Jiang family also sighed.

My goodness, it turns out that everything that happened today was caused by a tragedy near the stove.

Zixia's mind was empty, and she controlled the furnace with her powerful divine consciousness, urging it to unleash even more astonishing power.

"It's really the Great Emperor's laws and formations!" The mysterious black-robed figures were all shocked. They wanted to stop it but it was impossible.

People were surprised to find that there were nine divine rainbows on the Lihuo Divine Furnace that were connected to the Hengyu Furnace, and on its lid there were nine ancient characters blooming in red clouds.

The two could not be cut off, as if they had become one whole. The mysterious man in black tried several times with the imperial weapon but failed.

"These nine ancient characters are the imperial text!"

Each ancient character exudes the aura of the Great Dao and is extremely mysterious, as if it wants to draw people's minds into it.

"boom!"

Ripples burst out from the Lihuo Divine Furnace, sweeping in all directions. Mysterious array patterns were naturally generated and imprinted in the void.

Zixia also stopped urging the Lihuo Furnace and let it play freely. All this was because of the existence of the Hengyu Furnace. When the Lihuo Furnace approached it, it was as if it was activated, as if it had life.

The Lihuo Divine Furnace was like an innate divine formation of the Great Emperor, which almost sealed the innate patterns carved by the mysterious black-robed man. The Hengyu Furnace was even more terrifying, and its power became more and more tremendous, and it was about to suppress the other holy weapon of the Great Emperor.

The Hengyu Holy Furnace stabilized. Even if another holy weapon and the Great Emperor's formation pattern were combined to fight against it, they were still at an absolute disadvantage.

In the sky, the man in black robe exclaimed: "What kind of furnace is that? It contains the Dao pattern of the Great Emperor, which breaks the formation pattern I carved!" He was busy urging the imperial soldiers to fight against the Hengyu Furnace and had no time to take care of Fairy Caiyun, allowing her to escape from the chaos and survive by chance.

"Brother Taixu...Brother Taixu..." A vague and strange voice suddenly sounded, echoing in the sky above the city like a ghost, shaking the entire space. The voice was elusive, coming from all directions at once, and quickly approaching the Dragon Pool, causing everyone present to change color. "Who is it?"

When they heard someone calling Jiang Taixu "brother", everyone's heart trembled, realizing that this mysterious person must be of amazing age and status. Four thousand years is almost unimaginable for mortals, but she can call Jiang Taixu so affectionately, which shows the depth of their relationship.

"Shh!"

A flash of light passed by, and an old woman wearing a mask appeared beside Jiang Taixu. She was hunched over, with sparse white hair, and leaning on a cane, appearing silently like a ghost. The reason why she was able to arrive here quickly was because she received Jiang Taixu's spiritual summons in the air, knew how to enter the Great Emperor's formation, and took the opportunity to get rid of the suppression of the mysterious man.

Although she was old and frail, she was wearing a five-colored feathered robe, which formed a sharp contrast with her old face. Although she was covered with wounds, her life was not in danger.

"Brother Taixu... After four thousand years, I finally see you again!" The old woman burst into tears and choked up, "I'm here to help you!"

"It turns out to be her!"

The people of the Jiang family and the thirteen Saint Lord-level figures were all shocked. They guessed who the old woman was. She was Jiang Taixu's former confidante and the Saintess of the Wanchu Holy Land.

A saint cannot marry outside the family, so Fairy Caiyun has no way to be with Jiang Taixu. The God King Jiang breaks into the Wanchu Holy Land and wants to take her away, but Fairy Caiyun does not leave after all because of her teacher's kindness.

But she never married the Holy Son and lived alone in an ancient cave with a green lamp, never to step into the secular world again. People did not expect that she was still alive.

"Brother Taixu...you must recover...I want to see you in good shape and vigor again!" She burst into tears. Seeing Jiang Taixu's now skinny appearance, the grief in her heart was beyond words.

She gently stroked Jiang Taixu's face, tears falling like beads from a broken string, and said in a trembling voice: "It has been four thousand years since we last met. You used to be as handsome as jade and full of vigor, but now you have become old like this."

Without hesitation, she injected her divine energy into Jiang Taixu's body. The divine light was as bright as a meteor across the night sky, illuminating the entire Hualong Pond as if it were daytime.

"Caiyun, you just need to help me refine these magical medicines." This was the first sentence spoken by the God King Jiang Taixu after his resuscitation. Although his voice was weak, it was full of pity.

The three old monsters who had lived for more than four thousand years and were still immortal and the thirteen saint-level figures also attacked with all their strength, and the Jiang family's great imperial formation civilization was indestructible.

At the same time, the three old monsters who had lived for more than four thousand years and were still immortal and the thirteen saint-level figures also attacked with all their strength. The Jiang family's emperor formation flickered as if fighting against time.

However, just as the formation was about to dissipate, a loud shout exploded like thunder: "Ancestor of the Divine King Sect, I, Jiang Yi, am here to save you!"

As the voice fell, an indescribable pressure surged above the crumbling underground palace, as if the heaven and earth were shaking. A huge magic pot fell from the sky, its power seemed to be able to swallow everything, wanting to take the entire space into it.

“The ancient Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar?!” everyone exclaimed, feeling the pressure, as if their souls were being ruthlessly squeezed and almost shattered.

"boom!"

The huge pottery jar fell like a mountain. Under the pressure of the extreme weapon, the three old monsters and thirteen saint-level figures could not help but dodge and retreated quickly into the distance.

This half of an ultimate weapon is by no means comparable to ordinary weapons. Once hit, even they can't escape the fate of being destroyed both physically and spiritually.

The ninth biggest bandit, Jiang Yi, borrowed the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Pot from Tu Tian, ​​broke through the seal of the Divine City, and bravely rushed in just to rescue the clan ancestor Jiang Taixu.

“Hmph, no one can revive the incomplete emperor’s holy weapon. Unless the ancient sage comes in person, otherwise, in the hands of ordinary people, it is nothing but a pile of dead things.” The three old monsters sneered, mocking Jiang Yi’s actions.

The Great Emperor's holy weapon can only show its extreme power when it is controlled by a powerful person. Otherwise, even if it falls into the hands of a strong person, it is difficult to exert its true power. And the incomplete extreme weapon needs the ancient sages to activate it in order to revive its extreme power.

However, Jiang Yi didn't care. He shouted loudly, holding the holy weapon in his hand, and came to the front of the Dragon Pond, saying firmly: "Ancestor, I, Jiang Yi, am here to save you!"

"Buzz!"

The ancient Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot quickly enlarged, covering the Dragon Pond like a giant mountain and isolating all dangers outside.

Although the ancient emperor's holy weapon had not revived, the terrifying fluctuations it emitted still made the thirteen holy lord-level figures feel terrified.

The ninth bandit Jiang Yi arrived, beyond everyone's expectations, and appeared at the critical moment with half of an ultimate weapon, solving the current crisis.

With the full assistance of Fairy Caiyun, God King Jiang Taixu absorbed the essence of the divine medicine faster and faster. After only half a minute, he slowly raised his hand and tried to take off the mask on Fairy Caiyun's face.

"No! Brother Taixu! Please don't do this!" The old woman tightly grasped Jiang Taixu's wrist, which was as thin as a dead tree, her voice full of pleading.

"It's been four thousand years. Come with me." The God King Jiang Taixu said in a firm tone and continued to reach towards Caiyun's mask.

"Why do you wear this mask? Why don't you let me see your face?" Jiang Taixu choked up and whispered to himself, "In my eyes, you have never changed, whether it was four thousand years ago or now..."

Feeling Jiang Taixu's affection and sincerity, Fairy Caiyun finally couldn't bear to hurt the man she loved deeply, so she slowly loosened her hand and let him gently take off her mask.

Tears as big as beans fell on Jiang Taixu's face, but he seemed to be frozen by the scene in front of him, and did not move for a long time. He looked at the colorful clouds in front of him quietly, his heart filled with complicated emotions.

Four thousand years had made the once beautiful woman old. Her wrinkled face, gray lips, and hunched body all spoke of the ruthlessness of time. However, this peerless beauty waited for four thousand years without regrets until she was completely old.

When Fairy Caiyun learned about the news of the God King Jiang Taixu, she came desperately just to save him. Her love was so deep and so persistent.

Divine King Jiang Taixu was silent, and everything in the past emerged in his mind, those gentle whispers, affectionate eyes... as if everything had never gone away. He called softly: "Caiyun..." His voice was full of trembling and emotion.

As the emperor's formation pattern dissipated, countless great ways were swung out, and divine power roared, causing the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot to tremble.

On this Hualong Pond, two lovers who had been separated for a long time met again. Although the years had left ruthless marks on them, their hearts were closely connected without the slightest barrier.

At this moment, all the waiting and suffering seem so insignificant, because their love has become stronger under the baptism of time and has been witnessed in the most perfect way.

After Ye Fan learned all this, he looked at Zixia with more intense emotions in his eyes. He saw the greatness and beauty of love, and also saw the love in his heart.

However, Zixia did not notice all this. She was concentrating with her eyes closed watching the battle between the imperial soldiers in the sky.

At the same time, the eighth little dragon was also successfully refined, and Jiang Taixu slowly stood up, as if he was reborn.
