There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 276 Another Storm Begins (Part 2)

After bringing Dark Night back to the Eastern Heaven Realm, Dark Night belatedly realized that the one who had taken him, a beggar, as his disciple was actually the ancient emperor, Eastern Emperor.

This terrified An Ye, but with Hao Chen and Ru Yan's comforting words, he finally calmed down and accepted this dreamlike reality.

Then Hao Chen personally intervened, guiding the laws of heaven and earth to awaken the Dark Night Battle Body.

The awakening of his physical constitution also allowed An Ye to officially embark on the path of cultivation.

After resolving his cultivation issues during the dark night, Hao Chen immediately went into seclusion to digest the Supreme Origin he had previously devoured.

The heavy responsibility of teaching Dark Night cultivation fell to Ruyan. Fortunately, Ruyan had already gotten used to Haochen's irresponsibility.

In just over four hundred years, with the help of the cultivation environment of the Eastern Heaven Realm, the resources collected by the temple, and the guidance of Ruyan, an unconventional Daoist, An Ye has cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor.

In addition to his status as a disciple of the Eastern Emperor, An Ye successfully rose to a high position in the temple, responsible for the temple's external conquests.

"Senior sister, when will Master appear? Do you think you'll be shocked when you see my current cultivation level? And when can I achieve enlightenment in a different way like you, senior sister? And..."

"Shut up! Say one more word and I'll tear your mouth apart."

Ruyan felt annoyed as An Ye chattered in her ear, and she wondered more than once where her timid junior brother had gone.

Seeing that Senior Sister Ruyan was angry, An Ye wisely shut his mouth. However, when he looked at the place where Hao Chen was in seclusion, he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes, as if he wanted to be praised by his parents.

Six hundred years passed in this way, and suddenly the Yin-Yang Dao in the Nine Heavens trembled violently, and all the Daos cried out in anguish.

An aura of Dao transformation emanated from it, sweeping across the entire universe.

The Eastern Emperor is about to transform into a Daoist!

The news spread like wildfire, causing an uproar throughout the universe.

The temple's dominance over the universe relies on the support of the Eastern Emperor, but now that the Eastern Emperor is about to pass away, the temple's rule over the universe will be broken.

In order to appease the people in the temple, Ruyan and Anye had no choice but to step forward, even though they were also worried about Haochen.

"The teacher clearly said he was going into seclusion to live out his next life, so why did he suddenly pass away?"

"Impossible. Master is an ancient emperor of the supreme path, an invincible existence in the nine heavens and ten earths. He can definitely live a second life. I don't believe that Master would pass away."

Although neither Ruyan nor Anye believed that Haochen would transform into a Daoist, the Heavenly Heart Mark, which seemed to be on the verge of collapse and could be dissipated at any moment, was undeniable.

Just as Ruyan and Anye were filled with worry, Haochen's voice suddenly rang in their minds. When they heard that this was all a scheme set up by Haochen, their suspenseful hearts were immediately put at ease.

The Eastern Emperor is about to pass away, and not only is the temple in a state of panic, but all races in the universe are also filled with fear.

In recent years, under Hao Chen's orders, the temple has been plundering the universe's resources. This petty plundering has caused the universe to enter a period of low cultivation ahead of schedule. The Great Dao is not visible, cultivation has become increasingly difficult, and even the lifespan of cultivators has been greatly reduced.

Furthermore, since Hao Chen has offended both Zi Chuan and Sui Xing Hai, two major forbidden zones, some people speculate that these two forbidden zones may take advantage of Dong Huang's impending transformation to destroy the temple in retaliation against him.

"The chance for revenge has come."

After realizing that the Heavenly Heart Mark was unstable, the four zombie progenitors in Zichuan began to awaken. They communicated with the Supreme Being of the Shattered Star Sea through divine sense and issued an invitation to hunt down Haochen.

“He is old, I can sense that his Dao is unstable and he has begun to dissolve into nothingness.”

"Hehe, what goes around comes around. It's already too good for him to live for over 20,000 years. But no matter how long he lives, his time will come."

Two or four supreme beings emerged from the Shattered Star Sea and flew towards the Eastern Heaven Realm together with the four zombie progenitors of Zi Chuan.

The arrival of the eight supreme beings, with their undisguised aura of supreme power, alarmed the divine temple and all the races of the universe, and everyone knew that a great war was about to break out.

"I wonder if the temple can pull through this time."

"It's difficult. Even if the Eastern Emperor left a backup plan, he's still facing six Supreme Beings. Who can withstand that?"

Over the years, most people have become accustomed to the existence of the temple. After all, apart from plundering resources, the temple has not done anything else evil. On the contrary, it has tried its best to maintain the peace of the universe.

Not to mention the myriad races of the universe, even the temple is somewhat desperate. Their strongest members are only Ruyan and Anye, two unconventional Dao Provers, and about ten Quasi-Emperors, all of whom are below the seventh level of the Heavenly Realm.

On the other hand, the opposing team unleashed eight Supreme Beings right off the bat—no, now it's ten.

Just as Jiang Chen and his group arrived at the Eastern Heaven Realm, two Supreme Beings also emerged from the Ancient Road of Reincarnation, heading towards the Eastern Heaven Realm with murderous intent.

"Hehe, you Ancient Reincarnation Path wouldn't be trying to take advantage of our misfortune, would you?" Lingyue Supreme of the Shattered Star Sea said in a deep voice.

Lingyue Supreme would not give any kind look to those who travel the Ancient Path of Reincarnation.

Or rather, most of the Supreme Beings had objections to the Ancient Path of Reincarnation.

Of course, this is related to the fact that the Ancient Road of Reincarnation wanted to study the mysteries of reincarnation, build the Hall of Reincarnation, hunt down the geniuses of the universe, and even dare to attack the aging Heavenly Venerable Ancient Emperor.

As former Heavenly Venerables and Ancient Emperors, which one of them wasn't a prodigy, which one didn't look down upon the ages? But in the eyes of the Reincarnation Palace on the Ancient Road of Reincarnation, they were all just prey.

This was, of course, intolerable to the ancient emperors. If the ancient path of reincarnation had not been so profound, it would probably have been wiped out more than a dozen times over.

The Supreme Beings of the Ancient Path of Reincarnation were well aware of the disdain shown by other forbidden zones, but the Ancient Path of Reincarnation had studied Hao Chen's Dao and believed that Hao Chen was related to reincarnation, which might allow them to grasp the mysteries of reincarnation.

Under these circumstances, the Ancient Path of Reincarnation would naturally not miss this feast of hunting down Hao Chen in a group.

Therefore, in the face of Lingyue Supreme's mockery, the Supreme of the Ancient Road of Reincarnation did not deny it, but instead generously admitted that they did want a share of the pie.

This gave Lingyue Supreme a feeling of powerlessness, like punching cotton, and she couldn't help but snort coldly.

Jiang Chen stepped forward: "Alright, since our goal is the Eastern Emperor, what's wrong with cooperating once? Besides, the Eastern Emperor is no simple man, so let's not capsize."

"Capsized?! What a joke! We have ten Supreme Beings on our side this time, who can stop us?!"

Upon hearing this, all the Supreme Beings nodded in agreement. After all, they did not believe that they would fail with their current strength. Moreover, they had the Forbidden Zone as their backing, so if they found that things were hopeless, they could either escape back to the Forbidden Zone or ask for help from it.

The advantage is mine!

This is the thought of the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone who was dispatched this time when he stepped into the Eastern Heaven Realm, and it is also the view of the outside world.

However, when they stepped into the Eastern Heaven Realm, they found that the entire Eastern Heaven Realm was empty. No, there was still one person there.

Hao Chen had a full head of black hair and his body was brimming with energy, clearly at his peak.

This discovery greatly alarmed the Supreme Ruler of the Forbidden Zone, who had a vague sense of foreboding.

"Gentlemen, you have come from afar and are guests. Since you are here, please make yourself at home and have a chat with me."

"Nine Revolutions Devouring Heaven, Second Revolution: Devouring Heaven and Destroying Earth!"

As Hao Chen spoke, he opened his mouth, and a phantom of a Pixiu appeared behind him, also opening its mouth wide. A suction force fell on the Supreme Beings, imprisoning their divine power and dragging them toward Hao Chen.

"Damn it, we've fallen into a trap!"

"Donghuang, you despicable villain, how dare you scheme against our forbidden zone!"

"It's a pity I couldn't kill you and restore peace to the forbidden zone."

"Don't make a mistake, Donghuang. If you kill us, the Samsara Palace will not let you go. You will be hunted down in the cycle of reincarnation for all eternity."

……

Faced with the Supreme's clamor, Hao Chen was unmoved, and even felt a little like laughing.

Hao Chen thought to himself that he had finally caught ten big fish, and if he just let them go like this, he didn't know when he would be able to step into the third stage of the Nine Revolutions Devouring Heaven.

Because Hao Chen had prepared an array to conceal his aura beforehand, the outside world was unaware of what had happened.

But the forbidden zone was different. When they lost contact with Lingyue Supreme and the others after they entered the Eastern Heaven Realm, they immediately had a bad feeling.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Shattered Star Sea directly retreated to the edge of the universe and went into hiding.

After devouring numerous Supreme Beings, Hao Chen let out a satisfied burp: "Indeed, Supreme Beings are the most delicious and nutritious thing."

In just a moment, Hao Chen felt that he had taken another big step closer to the third turn.

Even more gratifying is that the World Tree within Hao Chen's body has successfully imprinted the Dao and Dharma of Ling Yue Supreme and the others.

However, at this moment, Hao Chen remembered that he had clearly killed Jiang Chen and his group before, but he had actually encountered them again this time.

"Are zombies truly immortal? Or was the one I killed last time not a real one?"

Hao Chen had the idea of ​​going back to Zi Chuan to find out what was going on, but he found that Zi Chuan and the Shattered Star Sea had disappeared.

"Pity."

Hao Chen shook his head, then turned and returned to the Eastern Heaven Realm.

With the crisis resolved, the temple reappeared, proving its profound power to the world and revealing that the Eastern Emperor had not transformed into a Daoist being, but had instead lived a second life.

Although Hao Chen did not make many moves, his record is well-documented. Furthermore, because he suppressed ten Supreme Beings once again, people secretly called Hao Chen the Eastern Emperor Dao Venerable and regarded the year Hao Chen attained enlightenment as the first year of the Eastern Emperor.

In the 35,000th year of the Eastern Emperor's reign, after Hao Chen had digested the origins of Ling Yue and the others, he officially entered the third cycle of the Nine Revolutions Devouring Heaven and lived out his third life.

In this very lifetime, the legendary Chaotic Starfield descended ahead of schedule at the call of the Ancient Road of Reincarnation.

Hao Chen entered the place on a whim, killed three Supreme Beings of the Ancient Path of Reincarnation, and retrieved four Divine Beast Eggs. He then placed them in the place with the most abundant essence in the Eastern Heaven Realm to incubate them.

The year 100,000 in the Eastern Emperor Calendar also represents 100,000 years since Hao Chen attained enlightenment. Hao Chen's fifth incarnation has appeared in the world due to mental unease.

"Who is calling me?!" Hao Chen felt as if something important was about to leave him, forcing him to come out of seclusion.

Meanwhile, in the world of beasts, Zhanhu, carrying Tianlu, and Bixie, carrying Sibuxiang, are embarking on a great escape.

"Damn it, those birdmen are catching up again." Bixie looked back at the birdmen in the sky, a flash of anger in his eyes.

Zhan Hu had a deep, bone-revealing wound on his hind leg, and blood was gushing out continuously, but he dared not stop, nor could he stop.

"Damn it, if Hao Chen hadn't used the power he left behind to deal with that so-called archangel, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state."

Zhan Hu thought with even more resentment, "Hao Chen, if you don't show up soon, you'll be collecting my and your brother's corpses."
