Chapter 404: Full Recovery_2
This was the first time he ever faced a true Great Emperor since his birth.
Although at that time, the Black Abyss Emperor had not fully regained the peak of his strength, he had at least recovered ninety percent.
After the battle.
Xia Tianjun did not gain any advantage.
Even though his cultivation had reached the Quasi-Emperor Limit, and he possessed the Great Success Heavenly Tao Body, a Quasi Emperor was still a Quasi Emperor, facing a genuine Great Emperor was still a gap.
To contend with a Great Emperor!
Does not mean being able to suppress a Great Emperor!
Xia Tianjun was very aware that if he fought to the death with the Black Abyss Emperor, the one who would ultimately fall would only be himself.
After all, a true Great Emperor is no joke.
However.
The Black Abyss Emperor didn't have any thoughts of fighting to the death, and was intent on leaving the Ancient Desolate World.
Xia Tianjun wanted to stop him, but had no means.
As a result.
Now, from within the Chaos, a strong wave has arisen, including the aura of the Black Abyss Emperor and an unknown powerful person.
Obviously.
This is a clash between the two.
Black Abyss Emperor's strength, Xia Tianjun is well aware, to be able to fight against him must be another existence at the Great Emperor Level.
"Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan!"
"Or an ancient Great Emperor from the Chaos!?"
Xia Tianjun's mind surged with many thoughts, but none could be confirmed.
Yet it can be seen from this, the dangers within Chaos are not as simple as they appear.
In the Ancient Wilderness Era.
Xia Tianjun had also explored the Chaos.
Even with his strength, he could not fully explore the entire Chaos.
Chaos is boundless.
Almost as if it has no end.
Too many unknowns are hidden within it.
At this moment.
Other powerful figures also sensed this wave and immediately came to meet Xia Tianjun.
"May I ask, Senior, why does the aura within Chaos resemble the Black Abyss Emperor?"
The one speaking was a Saint King.
When Xia Tianjun and the Black Abyss Emperor clashed, they also felt that terrifying aura, so now when the aura from Chaos arrived, recognizing it wasn't difficult.
Upon hearing, Xia Tianjun glanced at the other party, and spoke faintly, "That is the Black Abyss Emperor!"
"Hiss..."
As soon as these words were spoken, many powerful figures gasped.
It truly is the Black Abyss Emperor!
The Emperor Extreme Great Saint frowned, "So there is another Great Emperor contending with the Black Abyss Emperor, could it be the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan?"
His words.
Made other powerful figures look delighted.
If it truly is the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan, then that's excellent.
Two tigers fighting.
Surely one will be injured.
And they only need to sit back and watch the fight.
The Black Abyss Emperor had a grudge against the Divine Martial Dynasty, they are now serving under the Divine Martial Dynasty, naturally marked with the Divine Martial tag, so the Black Abyss Emperor is indirectly considered their enemy as well.
The Demon Clan, that needs no further elaboration.
Now if a conflict erupts between the two, in their view it's only beneficial without any downside.
Xia Tianjun shook his head, "Whether the other power fighting is the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan is still unclear, the Chaotic Starry Sky isn't as simple as you think.
It houses countless Star Domains and Ancient Stars, although most Star Domains are barren, there are also many terrifying existences lurking there.
This matter is unrelated to us, no need to pay it much mind!"
Xia Tianjun's words made the expressions of other cultivators turn much more solemn.
The horror within Chaos, they somewhat understood.
But saying it from Xia Tianjun's mouth allowed for a more direct feeling of the unfathomable depths of Chaos.
Shortly after.
These cultivators then departed.
Since Xia Tianjun said so, they naturally wouldn't worry much.
However.
This matter.
Also quickly reached Gu Qingfeng's ears.
Listening to the report from the cultivators below, Gu Qingfeng's expression changed slightly.
"A mysterious Great Emperor within the Chaos?"
Gu Qingfeng involuntarily thought of the past Black Coffin, and the Emperor Corpse within the coffin.
That was a mysterious Ancient Great Emperor.
Later, Gu Qingfeng also understood a bit about the origin of that Black Coffin.
Of course.
Gu Qingfeng didn't believe that the one fighting against the Black Abyss Emperor was certainly the Black Coffin Emperor.
Simply because having one Black Coffin Emperor in the Chaos implies there can still be other beings no weaker than the Black Coffin Emperor.
One must know.
The perilous nature of Chaos has always been unpredictable.
Only a true Great Emperor has the qualification to traverse the starry sky and roam across numerous Star Domains.
Other entities not of Emperor Realm, unless possessing supreme strength comparable to a Great Emperor, entering the starry sky poses the potential for demise.
At least in the records of the Ancient Desolate World, many Quasi Emperors once bled among the stars and perished.
Therefore.
If trouble befell the Black Abyss Emperor in the starry sky, it seemed perfectly natural to Gu Qingfeng.
Vast Chaos.
Endless Star Domains.
Even Gu Qingfeng himself couldn't claim he currently possessed the power to sweep across the entire starry sky.
So upon learning of this matter, Gu Qingfeng didn't bother to care that much, continuing his cultivation silently, and guiding the younger members of the Gu Family in their cultivation.
——
Spring passed, autumn came.
The seasons rotated.
While Gu Qingfeng stayed with the Gu Family, the sealed ancient Evils in various places further erupted, the ancient chaos of past eras seemed to show signs of genuine revival.
Though Evils have been tumultuous before, comparing to now, completely cannot be discussed on the same day.
In just a few years.
The Evils have indeed doubled.
Among them, world-destroying level Evils abound, making entire prefectures and states become dead zones, countless creatures bleeding and dying.
For this reason.
Gu Qingfeng once personally intervened several times, directly executing several world-destroying level evils.
But these evils were like the Deceitful Heavenly Emperor, although their physical form could be annihilated, truly exterminating their true body was still impossible.
All Gu Qingfeng could do was imitate the Taiyi Divine Dynasty, sealing these Evil bodies again.
Doing so, although couldn't entirely eliminate future troubles, could at least ensure the Evils wouldn't revive again for a period of time.
Precisely because Gu Qingfeng took action, the threat posed by evils to the Eastern Domain was greatly reduced, while other Evils were rampant, under the complete suppression of the Divine Martial Dynasty, losses were minimized.
Yet even so.
The advancement of the Divine Martial Dynasty to a Divine Dynasty was delayed by the surge in the number of Evils.
Regarding this.
Gu Qingfeng was naturally a bit dissatisfied but couldn't help it.
After all, he was just one person, and the Eastern Domain had one hundred and eight states, he too was stretched thin.
Suppressing those world-destroying level Evils was already reducing casualties to the greatest extent, but to rely on one person to suppress all the Evils in the Eastern Domain was absolutely impossible.
Fortunately.
Though the Divine Martial Dynasty's promotion to a Divine Dynasty slowed somewhat, its Qi Fortune was steadily improving.
During these ten years.
The Qi Fortune of the Divine Martial Dynasty had accumulated to a peak.
In Gu Qingfeng's view, within three to five years, the Divine Martial Dynasty could truly ascend to a Divine Dynasty.
"But looking at the current situation, the timing of the Divine Martial Dynasty ascending to a Divine Dynasty is likely similar to the arrival of the Great Contention Era!"
Gu Qingfeng looked towards the void, seeing what ordinary people couldn't, he could clearly see that suppressive power belonging to the Heavenly Dao chains was already weakened significantly.
Once this power completely dissipates, the Heavenly Dao's suppression would disappear altogether; then the Great Contention Era would arrive.
This timing.
Earlier by several decades than Gu Qingfeng's previous calculations.
The occurrence of such a situation, in Gu Qingfeng's eyes, was inseparably linked with the complete revival of ancient Evils and the Demon Clan invasion from beyond the heavens.
The more creatures fell, the sooner the arrival of the Great Contention Era.
Under these circumstances.
In less than ten years at most, the Great Contention Era was bound to arrive.
By that time.
The suppression of the Heavenly Dao would vanish.
All cultivators could break through to higher levels.
As Gu Qingfeng thought of this, he then directed his gaze towards the direction of the Tai Chu Ancient Land.
"Once the Great Contention Era arrives, those ancient existences within the Life Forbidden Zones will likely become restless too!"
