After that, Great Emperor Zhenwu and the Demon Dragon Palace Master embarked on their journey to leave.
It was finally time for the elders who had occupied the True Martial Emperor Palace for tens of thousands of years to leave.
Everyone, including Long Chen, stood together and watched them leave. The Ninth Heaven Lightning Behemoth was fine, but the Hellfire Flame Star Behemoth's movements were too big. Great Emperor Zhenwu had no choice but to go to a faraway place, to the edge of the True Martial Emperor Domain and then to the Shattered Star Sea. Only the Shattered Star Sea would not affect the gods of the Dragon Sacrificial Continent.
In the remaining time, he could only find the closest route to the Shattered Star Sea and rush there at full speed.
The Demon Dragon Palace Master's Nirvana Tribulation would descend in a few days. He had more time, but he still left first.
Long Xing watched him leave with tears in his eyes.
Long Chen stood beside him and patted him on the shoulder.
Perhaps this was what it meant to be parted by life and death. Long Chen was still young and did not understand the thoughts of these elders. However, just as Zhenwu the Great had said, his death and the calamity he would face was not something to be sad about, but something to be happy about.
After hiding in the Five Elements Clear Sky Pagoda for tens of thousands of years, he had finally mustered the courage to face his own death.
But this time, Long Chen still felt resentment towards the vast Heavenly Dao. What was the essence of these eighteen major tribulations?
Was it to make people stronger step by step, or to kill all the warriors on their path of growth, to make everyone fear and make immortality a dream?
The Eternal Sacred Territory was not immortality, but a group of pitiful people who pursued immortality. The fear of the Nirvana Tribulation was much stronger than that of Long Chen, because it was a place where Nirvana Tribulations descended at all times.
Everywhere, there was news of experts dying under the Nirvana Tribulation or even the Samsara Tribulation.
No one was lucky, and no one was immortal.
Unless they were like Great Emperor Zhenwu, who gave up everything and hid, they might live for many years, but once they came out, it meant death.
After the disaster ended, everyone stood at the True Martial Emperor Palace to send off Great Emperor Zhen Wu and the Demon Dragon Palace Master.
Great Emperor Zhenwu had to leave. Everyone could only hope that the Demonic Dragon Palace Master could return and add another Great Emperor-level expert to the Three Regions and Nine Realms.
As everyone waited, that moment finally began.
In the sky, a brilliant star morphed into the Hellfire Flaming Star Behemoth and dove down.
That deafening roar made everyone cover their ears. The flames instantly filled the sky of the Three Regions and Nine Worlds, turning the entire sky into a sea of fire. The commotion this time was similar to the one in the Desolate Imperial Region.
The ferocious beast descended from the starry sky and headed straight for the serene old man.
Long Chen silently clenched his fists when he saw the Super Giant Beast surrounded by flames crash into the Broken Star Sea. When he saw the raging sea of flames rushing towards him, hatred flashed in his eyes once again. Although he knew that Zhenwu Great Emperor had passed away peacefully and contentedly, he still could not accept it.
He was not willing to let the lives of the people around him be dominated by other things.
In the future, among the five people around him, except for the strange kitten, all of them were about to go through the torture of Nirvana Tribulation. Among them, their talents were uneven. Didn't that mean that when the time came, they might all die, and he could only watch helplessly?
Could he watch Yang Lingqing die in the Nirvana Tribulation?
Could he watch Lingxi be swallowed by the Ninth Heaven Thunderbeast, or rather the Hellfire Flaming Star Behemoth?
Long Chen suddenly felt that the road ahead was filled with confusion.
He had enough confidence in himself, but the people around him …
This doubt and worry was deeply hidden in Long Chen's heart.
His dull eyes flickered under the illumination of the flames.
The Hellfire Flaming Star Behemoth descended again and the Dragon Sacrificial Dragon Continent trembled.
Rumble!
Countless explosions occurred.
This time, the Nirvana Tribulation ended very quickly. The flames that filled the sky suddenly disappeared. The entire Nirvana Tribulation lasted less than a quarter of an hour.
Everyone knew that this meant that Zhenwu Great Emperor had been swallowed by the Nirvana Tribulation.
At that moment, almost everyone was kneeling on the ground, expressing their respect to the deceased old man. Only Long Chen was left standing there in a daze. It was as if his brain had become rusty. The words "Heavenly Dao" had given him a huge impact …
Suddenly, his palm felt warm. It turned out that Lingxi had held his hand. She knew what Long Chen was thinking, so she whispered in Long Chen's ear, "I will work hard. I won't let you face such a struggle. Don't worry about me."
Long Chen held her in his arms and stroked her long hair until the flames in the distant sky disappeared completely.
"It's over."
Everyone stood up.
No one said much.
About a day later, the Demon Dragon Palace Lord's Ninth Heaven Lightning Beast descended.
The Demon Dragon Palace Lord was different from Zhenwu Great Emperor. He was a person with regrets. He still couldn't let go of Long Xing, so he fought against the Nirvana Tribulation. The Ninth Heaven Lightning Beast was cruel. The Demon Dragon Palace Lord was a Dragon Martialist, so his Nirvana Tribulation was similar to Mo Xiaolang's. This battle lasted for a full day. Everyone stayed in place except for Long Chen, who rushed towards the Demon Dragon Palace Lord.
The tribulation was over.
Three days later, Long Chen carried the dying Demon Dragon Palace Lord back to Zhenwu Emperor Palace.
When they saw that the Demon Dragon Palace Lord was still alive, they had mixed feelings.
Long Xing knelt on the ground, his eyes brimming with tears.
The Demon Dragon Palace Lord came down from Long Chen's back and helped Long Xing up. He said, "I still can't let go of you, so I will live for another thousand years.
After a thousand years, you will walk your own path. "
Perhaps it was because he couldn't let go that this old man survived the Nirvana Tribulation.
Just like that, everything ended. The people of the Three Regions and Nine Realms also bid farewell and left Zhenwu Emperor Palace.
After the Demon Dragon Palace Lord thanked Long Chen, he left with Long Xing.
When the Demon Dragon Palace Lord was about to die, Long Chen rushed to the scene and gave him a little help. It was this help that allowed the Demon Dragon Palace Lord to survive.
This help was the Eternal Split Moment.
Back when Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang survived the Ninth Heaven Lightning Beast Tribulation together, Long Chen's Eternal Split Moment also stopped the Ninth Heaven Lightning Beast that Mo Xiaolang was facing. However, the Heavenly Dao didn't seem to sense Long Chen's power of time.
Perhaps it was because the Void Universe Dragon was too mysterious.
The person the Demon Dragon Palace Lord was most grateful to was naturally Long Chen.
After the Demon Dragon Palace Lord left, only the people of the Desolate Emperor Palace remained. They didn't leave because the Desolate Emperor was still there.
"I'll have a private word with the Desolate Emperor."
Long Chen said. The Desolate Emperor waved his hand and asked the six demonic emperors to wait for a moment. Then, Long Chen left with the Desolate Emperor.
Letting the Desolate Emperor regain his freedom was an explanation to Mo Xiaolang and an explanation to Zhenwu Emperor. After all, Mo Xiaolang had once respected him. Long Chen couldn't imprison him forever.
Long Chen simply put away the Boundless Star Dragon Diagram.
The Desolate Emperor had personally experienced this period of time, but he didn't have control of his body. When he regained his freedom, he first looked at his body in a daze. Finally, he saw Long Chen.
"It's all over. What do you think?" Long Chen asked indifferently.
He looked at the distant sky, his eyes cold.
The Desolate Emperor today wasn't a match for Mo Xiaolang, let alone Long Chen.
The Desolate Emperor sorted out the chaotic memories in his mind and asked blankly, "He actually had the courage to face death directly?"
The "he" he was talking about was Zhenwu Emperor.
Long Chen turned his head and stared at him, but didn't answer.
Perhaps the choice of Zhenwu Emperor had given him a great shock.
"What's the point of living!?
After a thousand years, I still have to die, but I still want to live greedily! "The Desolate Emperor knelt on the ground in pain and let out a miserable howl.
Long Chen couldn't answer him.
Zhenwu Emperor had no worries and faced death with a smile.
The Demon Dragon Palace Lord couldn't let go of his worries, so he persevered.
The Desolate Emperor was even more pitiful. He had no worries, but he didn't dare to face death. He just wanted to live, which was the most painful, because he would never be free.
"Go back. Xiao Lang will come back to see you often.
As for your doubts, I can't answer them. "Long Chen could only say this.
He was still young and couldn't experience the other's desire for life.
The Desolate Emperor stood up dispiritedly. He composed himself and looked at Long Chen, saying, "To be honest, I really envy you. If you have the chance to reach eternal life, you must let me know. Let me know that at least someone has succeeded.
That way, I can die without regrets. "
This was his only request.
From today onwards, the Desolate Emperor might change a lot.
"Definitely." Long Chen said seriously.
Eternal life was a dream that only existed in myths.
Long Chen found himself pitiful, because he was similar to the Desolate Emperor. He didn't want to die, he coveted the time he was alive, and he didn't even want anyone around him to die.
If he was a normal person, without a way to create miracles, then Long Chen's fate would be no different from the Desolate Emperor's.
The Desolate Emperor left with the six demonic emperors.
Everyone from Zhenwu Emperor Palace knelt before Long Chen, paying their respects to the new Zhenwu Emperor.
The original Zhenwu Emperor had left the Five Elements Clear Sky Pagoda to Long Chen, but Long Chen didn't refine it, because he and Lingxi would be leaving in a year. He would look at the Five Elements Clear Sky Pagoda when the time came.
The events of the past few days had given Long Chen many thoughts.
As the Zhenwu Emperor, ordinary matters didn't require Long Chen to handle. He just wanted to be with the people he cared about quietly.
Lingxi and Li Xuanji were both by his side.
After spending several days together, they spent every day chatting and laughing. On this day, Li Xuanji finally called Long Chen over. Long Chen followed her, walking forward step by step. He stared at the slender black figure in front of him, but many words seemed to be stuck in his throat, unable to come out.
He and Lingxi were already married.
But …
Looking up, the sun rose, and the light of dawn fell upon the world.
… …
There was an exam.
Two hours at noon, one hour at night.
