This scene ignited the fervor of countless gods and demons.
However, the number of illusory dojos was limited, and the vast majority of inheritances were seized by others while they pursued opportunities in other great eras.
Those that remained were also highly competitive, leading to belated regret and utter remorse. Meanwhile, the gods and demons who had comprehended the Great Dao of the dojo masters soared to prominence, gathered forces, seized opportunities, and showed a tendency to unify the masterless starry sky.
The evolution of the Great Era accelerated, and before the beings could fully absorb the shock of the dojo inheritances,
a giant-level battle erupted in the starry territory where the ancient powerful races and the cultivator lineage bordered each other.
The beings of the starry sky did not yet know who was fighting on either side.
But everyone could feel the terrifying pressure, even though the battle was taking place far away from them. Nevertheless, it still swept through every corner of the starry sky.
Giants were those who had cultivated to the pinnacle of a Great Dao. Their very existence was like the Great Dao of the starry sky, and their power was enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Great Dao. A battle of this magnitude was a showdown of the Great Dao of the starry sky.
This battle filled the beings with apprehension. The strong who had once dominated the ancient times reappeared, and new prodigies rose together. Experts were as numerous as clouds, and a vast and chaotic world filled with conquest and battle descended.
This made all the gods and demons feel a sense of urgency. This era was enough to shake the past and illuminate the present, but many overlords had already been chosen. It would be a great blessing for them to avoid being affected by the battles.
As time passed, the energy of the Great Era changed dramatically and gradually stabilized, but the situation between the various forces became increasingly turbulent.
In a remote part of the central starry sky,
the two Killing Ancestors of Purgatory and Netherworld drove two dark red small worlds and slowly docked near the Heavenly Void Realm.
They walked out of them and appeared in the Profound Emperor Hall the next moment.
"Your Majesty, the extra giant disrupting the Ancient Barren Land allowed the Sect Master of the Righteous God Sect to avoid this murderous calamity. However, the foundation of his Dao was damaged, and he will need a long time to mend his Dao wounds. He probably won't be able to advance further."
"But this battle has also caused the giants of the cultivator lineage to thoroughly investigate the starry sky. It will be difficult for Purgatory and Netherworld to continue to lie dormant in that starry sky..." The two Killing Ancestors respectfully reported.
"It doesn't matter. Purgatory and Netherworld stirred up the Ancient Barren Land early. When those giants react, they will investigate thoroughly anyway. Although this early move didn't wipe out the Sect Master of the Righteous God Sect, it did reduce his combat power to some extent," Xuan Ming said calmly with his hands behind his back.
His body emanated a pressure comparable to that of a God-King.
Although he was standing still, there were strange scenes of thousands of realms collapsing and the universe being born behind him.

Chapter 265: Three God-Kings and One Half-Step God-King of the Imperial Court, Sign-In, Special Art
............
During this period of turbulent Star River situation,
Xuan Ming had already fully absorbed all the benefits of the Star River origin feeding back to the Great World Heavenly Dao.
His divine body became even more powerful. In the past, when cultivating arts, even if Xuan Ming didn't use them, the aura revealed would show various divine wonders.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right," the two Killing Ancestors said, nodding respectfully.
"Your Majesty, although the two of us have left, we have cultivated deeply in the Ancient Barren Land before and gathered a group of Ancient Barren Land Ancient Gods. These Ancient Gods have already been branded with divine soul imprints and are extremely reliable. In the future, we can use them to learn about the movements of the Ancient Barren Land," the Purgatory Killing Ancestor said.
"You have done well," Xuan Ming nodded.
He pondered slightly and talked with the two Killing Ancestors for a while.
Then he temporarily ordered them to go down and rest.
During this period, the two Killing Ancestors presented what they had obtained when they attacked the Sect Master of the Righteous God Sect. It was an immortal ancient artifact. When they failed to kill the Sect Master of the Righteous God Sect, they took his weapon with them when they left.
However, inside it, there were Great Dao traces refined by the Sect Master of the Righteous God Sect. If they were not removed, it could not be used. With their power, it would take a lot of time, so they directly handed it over to Xuan Ming.
Xuan Ming accepted it and put it aside.
After the two Killing Ancestors left, Xuan Ming waved his right hand,
and a star chart gathering the geography of the Star River appeared in front of Xuan Ming.
This was woven by the Tower Ancestor when he inspected the Star River, and it contained the coordinates of the various great worlds and star regions of the Central Star River, as well as the locations of the forbidden areas and the desolate edges of the universe. Currently, this star chart has already marked the territories ruled by many forces.
The Imperial Court only occupies a small part.
But Xuan Ming was not in a hurry to enter the arena.
"Accumulate strength, consolidate the territory around the Imperial Court, and advance steadily. When the situation is clear, we can defeat them one by one!" Xuan Ming whispered.
The clear situation he spoke of was not the current forces of the starry sky. If it were just these, he could have unified the Star River as early as when he refined the Heavenly Dao or when the Northern Void God-King descended.
But in reality, it was not so.
The water in this starry sky is not as calm as it appears on the surface.
The unknown forbidden area behind the Ancient God Court of the Ancient Barren Land, as well as the other forbidden areas suspended around the Central Star River, are extremely powerful. He has already felt the restless aura of these forbidden areas after the opening of the Great Era.
Perhaps, before long, they will appear in the starry sky.
Behind these forbidden areas are the supreme powerhouses of every past "Starry Sky", and their foundations are unfathomable.
There is no need for the Imperial Court to walk at the forefront of the Star River ahead of time, and confront these forbidden areas head-on, consuming its foundation.
Moreover, even if the Imperial Court unifies the starry sky at this time,
given the vastness of the starry sky, it would be difficult for the Imperial Court to consolidate it in a short time. Not only would it not increase the national fortune, but it would instead cause the national fortune itself to become unstable.
"Among the three major camps, the God camp is the weakest and closest to the Imperial Court. First refine these six great worlds, then deal with the ancient powerful races. After refining the great worlds of these two camps, even if the Supreme descends, they can be easily suppressed," Xuan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.
Buzz!
Just as Xuan Ming was calculating,
the space within the Profound Emperor Hall trembled slightly.
A vortex appeared.
The Ancestor of Misfortune walked out of it.
"Half-Step God-King!"
Xuan Ming's gaze moved slightly and landed on the Ancestor of Misfortune.
The turbulence of the Star River situation seemed magnificent, with all kinds of major events emerging one after another. But in reality, it was the chaos caused by the ancient forces that had accumulated for millions of years and the new ancient gods who had obtained the opportunities of the Great Era fighting for territory.
And the time these things happened was only a little over a month.
And because of the existence of the forbidden areas,
Xuan Ming changed the order of improving the strength of the gods and demons.
From top to bottom.
Therefore, the third month of the God and Demon Enlightenment Garden was given to the Ancestor of Misfortune.
Now, after a day, the Ancestor of Misfortune reappeared. His aura had changed from that of an ordinary giant to that of a Half-Step God-King, having condensed two Dao Fruits and stepped into the realm of Half-Step God-King.
The Tower Ancestor entered in the second month and had already been promoted to God-King when he came out. Counting the Northern Void God-King and Xuan Ming, there were already three God-Kings.
"Although the most difficult thing in the God-King realm is to condense the two Dao Fruits into one, the Imperial Court already has the experience of a God-King achieving the Dao. The Ancestor of Misfortune will not need to explore when breaking through to God-King. The time during this period will not be too long..." Xuan Ming thought, stroking his chin.
His gaze fell on the Ancestor of Misfortune.
"The Imperial Court's god and demon legions have all assembled. Misfortune, you will lead the army this time and advance into the Fire God Domain. Remember, try to reduce the battle to the interior of the Fire God Domain Star River and do not spread the aura out... At that time, I will also use means to obscure the prying eyes of all realms on the Fire God Domain."
Xuan Ming instructed.
"Yes, this small god receives the decree."
The Ancestor of Misfortune respectfully took his leave.
His divine body was peculiar. Although he still exuded an ominous aura all over his body, a sense of disharmonious auspiciousness was lurking within the Ancestor of Misfortune.
"Next, it's time to sign in."
After the Ancestor of Misfortune left, Xuan Ming sat on the Emperor's throne and instructed the system to sign in in his heart.
"Ding..."
"Signing in..."
"Please wait a moment, Host..."
Xuan Ming waited quietly.
Since the sign-in function was upgraded, Xuan Ming had a hint of anticipation for the results of the daily sign-in.
"Ding!"
"Sign-in successful!"
"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: Huaqiang Buys Melons! [Special Art]"
......
Huaqiang Buys Melons?
Xuan Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and a strange expression appeared on his face!
"Annotation: Huaqiang Buys Melons is a special time-space faith-induced art. Similar to a curse, the caster can summon 'Huaqiang' to descend. Those who are cursed will experience a series of classic melon-selling questions. At the same time, space-time will be sealed. After the questions are over, 'Huaqiang' will stab the cursed person with a knife and return to the void. The specific corresponding strength is unknown and is related to the caster's cultivation!"
At the same time, a ball of light appeared in front of Xuan Ming.
Since it was a special art, it did not need to be cultivated and directly merged into Xuan Ming's divine soul.
"This..."
"Could it be said!"
Xuan Ming looked at the system's annotations, and his pupils shrank.
He secretly drove his divine power and used the "Huaqiang Buys Melons" art!
"Drip, drip!"
A passage similar to a road suddenly appeared in the vast Profound Emperor Hall. The background of the passage was an old street, and the sound of a motorcycle engine rang out twice.
A man wearing black clothes, with a buzz cut, a tall figure, and a fierce face, rode an old-fashioned motorcycle and appeared from the void.
At the same time,
a phantom similar to a fruit stand faintly appeared around Xuan Ming.
"This... This is a bit outrageous!" Xuan Ming's pupils shrank, and he withdrew the divine power that urged the spell. The strange scene that appeared in the Profound Emperor Hall just now disappeared.
After the vision disappeared,
Xuan Ming sat on the Emperor's throne and rubbed his brow.
What had just happened evoked a memory buried deep in his mind about something from his previous life.
