boom!

!

A group of supreme beings erupted, revealing various astonishing Dharma forms. Their enormous figures were majestic and imposing, like a nascent universe, with supreme Dao principles resonating within them, causing cultivators from all the heavens and myriad realms to submit.

This is the terrifying aspect of the existence of the ultimate path!

"Buzzing..."

The imperial laws were magnificent, causing all paths in the universe to submit, as if the ultimate Dao status had reappeared, its power overwhelming the universe!

Within the six forbidden zones of life, more than ten emperors and sovereigns revived, stepped out, and arrived at the edge of the desolate ancient forbidden land. They used their ultimate divine weapons, their unique royal and imperial paths, and began to unleash their power. Forbidden spells flew everywhere as they attacked the path to immortality!

This scene shocked the world and left all the saints speechless.

“Eleven ancient emperors and great emperors… and even, among them, an ancient celestial being from the mythological era…”

The crowd watched, almost feeling suffocated.

It should be understood that throughout history, at most one emperor or sovereign has attained enlightenment in any given era. Only in the legendary end of the mythological era, when the emperor established the ancient heavenly court and ruled over all realms, are there records of multiple emperors standing side by side.

Apart from this, in other eras, there was only one complete emperor or sovereign.

However, there might be some who attain enlightenment through other means, such as those with the Great Accomplishment Holy Body, the Great Accomplishment Hegemonic Body, or other alternative forms of enlightenment.

For example, in the era of the Western Queen Mother, her husband was the Great Accomplished Holy Body.

In his normal state, the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone is not much different from those who have achieved enlightenment through other means, and cannot be said to be superior to those with a Greatly Accomplished Sacred Body.

The problem is that these ancient supreme beings, at their peak, all attained enlightenment and merged with the Heavenly Heart Mark, becoming an ancient emperor or great emperor.

Their laws and divine weapons surpass those of other enlightened beings.

If we take it to its ultimate level, it can even surpass the latter!

In short, the combined power of these eleven forbidden zone supreme beings far surpasses that of the same number of alternative Dao attainers!

"Today, I only wish to ascend to immortality!" an ancient emperor spoke, his voice mournful. After hundreds of thousands of years of slumber and the passing of his loved ones, he only wished to witness the ascension of immortality with his own eyes!

"If I fail, I will leave my experiences to future generations!" another ancient emperor murmured, waving his hand. The laws of the emperor's way filled the air, bursting forth with dazzling divine light, more splendid than the stars in the sky!

The latter seemed to be nothing more than a firefly.

The sages, upon seeing this, were both amazed and saddened.

"Is it worth such a heavy price, just to verify the path to immortality and the method of ascending to immortality?" an old quasi-emperor murmured.

"I have lingered on this path not out of cowardice, but out of unwillingness! Even just to catch a glimpse of an immortal!" an ancient emperor murmured, severing all distracting thoughts and forging ahead without hesitation.

"It's them..."

Beyond the realm, beneath the dark starry sky, the Great Accomplished Saint Body, covered in golden fur, revealed a hint of sorrow in its pair of blood-red eyes.

He seemed to recognize several of the ancient emperors among them.

Cao Ya watched as ten supreme beings joined forces, unleashing their ultimate power, shaking the void, and blasting open the path to immortality!

"The Celestial Venerable of the Mythical Era, the Ancient Emperor of the Primordial Era, the Great Emperor of the Desolate Era..."

"The most powerful figures from every era have appeared today."

Cao Ya sighed softly.

The word "becoming an immortal" is something that even emperors and sovereigns bow down to, yearning for it immensely, yet finding it extremely difficult to attain.

"Boom..."

At this moment, above the Big Dipper, eleven ancient emperors joined forces—something that had never happened before. All of this was for the purpose of ascending to immortality and entering the Immortal Realm!

Now, there's nothing left to hold back. Apart from not having reached their ultimate sublimation, they have already used all sorts of forbidden imperial techniques and royal scriptures, and their ultimate weapons roared, crushing the ages.

They forcefully broke into the Immortal Path!

It should be known that each of these supreme beings once suppressed the nine heavens and ten earths, residing at the center of all the heavens.

Eleven people joining forces—such power is rarely seen throughout history; even true immortals would change color upon seeing it!

The Immortal Realm is flawed, rich in longevity substances, but its Great Dao is incomplete. In order to protect itself and evolve and improve itself, it has severed its connection with the mortal universe.

Even though this great world's instinctive protection occasionally leaks out its energy, leading to the appearance of the Immortal Path, it is absolutely impossible to enter without the power of a True Immortal at the pinnacle.

Even one or two Quasi-Immortal Kings at the peak of True Immortal status wouldn't be enough!

These attempts by ancient supreme beings were destined to be nothing more than fleeting dreams.

Unless, of course, they are really lucky and find the right path!

However, Cao Ya knew that the Beidou Immortal Path was a dead end, a dead end, a dead end.

The path to immortality on the future Flying Immortal Star is the path to survival!

Currently, some of the most powerful figures in the restricted area are in a state of hesitation and indecision.

"Judging from this situation, the imprints of the beings from the Immortal Realm have manifested with considerable power. Although they are not as powerful as the Supreme Beings, they are still capable of dealing with Saints." On Burial Sky Island, an ancient being spoke, eager to make a move.

"You want to fully awaken?" an ancient emperor whispered within the Primordial Mine. "I refuse! This path to immortality in the Big Dipper is not what I'm waiting for!"

"Since that's the case, then let them continue their slumber. Even a brief revival has its costs. Those who wished to fully awaken had already left and were now advancing onto the Immortal Path." After the Supreme Being of the Reincarnation Sea finished speaking, he fell completely silent, clearly having fallen back into slumber, ignoring all external affairs.

Soon, the supreme beings of the five forbidden zones of life—the Primordial Ancient Mine, the Immortal Tomb, the Divine Ruins, the Burial Sky Island, and the Undying Mountain—all disappeared without a trace, showing no further movement.

Within the forbidden zone, the existence of those who have reached the highest level is not limited to just a few on the Immortal Path.

Even though many have died over millions of years.

But it also made up for a lot.

Only a portion of them were revived because of the Beidou Immortal Path.

Some continue to wait for the Immortal Path to Flying Immortal Star, while others want to wait for the Immortal Path in a later era.

Each supreme being, due to differences in their principles and experiences, has a distinct concept of what constitutes the correct juncture.

The concept of the right time and the right place is a matter of debate among emperors and rulers.

Of course, the conversation between these briefly awakened supreme beings did not affect the eleven people on the Immortal Path.

On the path to immortality, there seemed to be the imprint of the laws of the immortal realm, and hundreds of thousands of incomplete immortal spirits and millions of mindless gods and Buddhas manifested at this moment.

Buzz...

The dazzling rain of light covered the entire universe, enough to destroy everything!

Even if a quasi-emperor or a great saint were to enter, they would be reduced to ashes in an instant; they could not possibly survive even a single breath.

However, the supreme beings are incredibly powerful. When ancient emperors join forces, their Dao principles are supreme, and no immortals, gods, or Buddhas can withstand them. Under the Longevity Sword, the Blue-Gold Qilin Staff, and the Stone Emperor Halberd...

Under the supreme divine weapons of the emperors, all the immortal figures were shattered.

Invincible!

Even the ancient and formidable pass was destroyed by their combined forces.

Of course, the Big Dipper Imperial Array was used by the emperors. If it weren't for the protection of the Imperial Array and the protection of the Great Emperor's Dao Mark, the ancient Big Dipper star would probably have been torn apart at this moment.

Finally, the emperors leaped into the ancient chaotic cave at the end of the immortal path, and then fell silent, never to emerge again for a long time.

Beyond the realm, the heroes who had been watching held their breath, eager to witness the scene of him ascending to immortality.

However, after some time passed, the path to immortality and the ancient cave filled with chaotic energy remained silent, as if all the emperors had perished and fallen into the cave.

During this period, the entire universe was plunged into a deadly silence.

Everyone eagerly awaited it.

Is it true that immortals can ascend to heaven?

"They... won't succeed, will they?" The Great Accomplished Holy Body frowned, somewhat uneasy.

As far as he was concerned, the Qilin Ancient Emperor and those ancient emperors had never launched any dark upheavals. They were simply using the geographical advantage of the forbidden zone to slumber and wait for the path to immortality to open. Such beings did not need to be dealt with.

But the Stone Emperor, the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, the Abandoned Heavenly Supreme, the Lord of Reincarnation, and others—their hands are stained with the blood of all races in the universe.

If these executioners were allowed to become immortals, it would be the greatest injustice in the world!

Even the Great Accomplished Holy Body cannot give up!

"Don't worry, they won't succeed," Cao Ya said calmly. "That's a dead end; even a True Immortal wouldn't be able to get through!"

"Unless, multiple peak True Immortals unite!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Accomplished Holy Body was moved.

Cao Ya seems to know quite a bit about the Immortal Path?

However, before he could ask any questions, one after another, royal figures emerged from the depths of the ancient cave, their bodies swaying, their auras fluctuating wildly.

Moreover, the emperor's blood fell, piercing through the stars.

In that chaotic ancient cave, not only did the Venerables fail to ascend to immortality, they even suffered severe injuries!

"The wait of ages has ultimately come to naught!" The ancient emperor cried out in sorrow, his voice echoing across the heavens.

"I'm not reconciled! It's so close, yet... I can't take that step?!"

Blood trickled from the corner of the Changsheng Celestial Venerable's mouth, and the Changsheng Sword trembled slightly. His expression was one of resentment and anger.

The ancient emperors, including the Qilin Emperor and the Stone Emperor, were either filled with sorrow or anger.

What they saw and heard inside the ancient cave seemed to greatly stimulate them.

"Bang!"

!

Just then, a scream came from the sacred cliff in the perilous Eastern Wilderness.

But the divine artifact personally forged by the Great Emperor Wushi—the Investiture of the Gods—unleashed its divine power, engulfing the Immortal Daoist. This immortal emperor's embodiment of faith, after being suppressed by the Investiture of the Gods for 100,000 years, finally met its end today.

boom!

The Investiture of the Gods directly threw the Immortal Daoist into the Chaos Ancient Cave. After a loud bang, the Immortal Daoist's screams faded away, and pools of blood and mud seeped out, flowing along the Immortal Path.

Clearly, the Immortal Taoist has perished.

As the Investiture of the Gods unfolded and hung in the sky above the Big Dipper, it exuded a terrifying aura unique to the Great Emperor Wushi!

"Emperor Wushi, the last human emperor of the ancient era, is he... still alive?"

The assembled heroes were shocked.

Only the emperors knew that it was merely an artifact crafted by the Great Emperor Wushi, not its true form.

They also knew the origins of the immortal Taoist who filled the cave.

But that has nothing to do with them.

The Immortal Taoist is gone, and no matter how powerful the Investiture of the Gods is, it is impossible for it to deal with them.

Most importantly, after hundreds of thousands or even millions of years of slumber and waiting, the path to immortality was finally opened, and they managed to enter it, only to fail and fall short at the last moment, dying with regret at the end of the path to immortality.

"May I ask, do immortals exist in this world?!"

The emperors roared in mourning, their voices desolate.

"Hey, what's that...?"

The Great Accomplished Holy Body from beyond the realm, who had been keeping a close watch on the emperors and on guard, suddenly sensed something. His eyes shifted, and he stared intently at the Western Desert of the Big Dipper, his expression hardening.

“The Buddhist sect is certainly making a grand gesture, but it’s a path to certain death,” Cao Ya said.

Above the Western Desert, hundreds of millions of Buddhist followers gathered at Mount Sumeru. The power of faith was vast, led by saints. Cultivators from the infinite realms of the Immortal Platform, Dragon Transformation, and the Four Extremes chanted Buddhist scriptures and contributed their own power to bless Mount Sumeru. The power of faith stirred up the clouds and condensed into the figure of the Amitabha Buddha Emperor.

"That is..."

Upon seeing this scene, the saints stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

"Amitabha Buddha Emperor? No, that's not right! That's the embodiment of Amitabha Buddha's faith!"

"The Buddhist sect is truly ambitious, actually planning to send the entire sect to ascend to immortality!"

The crowd is paying close attention.

Even the emperors turned to look at them.

Will the Buddhist movement succeed?

Even the Great Accomplished Holy Body felt a nagging doubt in his heart, thinking that the Buddhist sect, which gathers the thoughts of all living beings and has hundreds of millions of Buddhist followers, coupled with the legacy of the Amitabha Buddha Emperor, might have a chance to succeed.

Cao Ya was the only one who shook his head.

"The path to immortality is fraught with peril; you cannot succeed. Be rational and retreat," Cao Ya transmitted his voice, reminding the saints on Mount Sumeru.

However, the group of old monks ignored Cao Ya's warning.

"The Buddhist community has accumulated hundreds of thousands of years of experience for this day. How can we abandon this plan because of what others say?" The leading old monk put his hands together and chanted Buddhist mantras.

"Success or death!"

"The world is a sea of ​​suffering, and I have nothing to be attached to."

"If anyone is unwilling, they may leave and spread the Dharma in the human world."

"Those who are willing, may follow us on the path to immortality!"

...

Ultimately, only a small number of Buddhist followers left Mount Sumeru and returned to their original temples, without joining this journey to become immortals.

Most Buddhists became members of the vast Mount Sumeru.

"Amitabha! The entire sect will ascend to immortality today!"

"good."

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar erupted, and the Amitabha Buddha Emperor's form of faith manifested outwards. The entire Mount Sumeru rose from the ground, shattering the void and carrying with it boundless faith power and endless rain of light. Under the watchful eyes of countless people, it entered the path to immortality and crashed into the depths of that chaotic ancient cave!

However, the Buddhist attempt ultimately failed.

Blood flowed out, Mount Sumeru collapsed, and the body of Amitabha Buddha, the Great Emperor of Faith, also crumbled.

Those millions of Buddhist followers perished in an instant.

Upon seeing this, the heroes were terrified.

The emperors sighed.

Only those Buddhist followers who withdrew at the crucial moment were stunned, tears welling in their eyes.

"Amitabha."

They sat cross-legged, struck wooden fish drums, chanted Buddhist scriptures, and performed rituals to pray for the souls of their deceased fellow disciples.

"I refuse to believe that with our strength, we cannot ascend to immortality!" The Stone Emperor was unwilling and, together with the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, the Abandoned Heavenly Venerable, and others, once again plunged into the ancient cave.

The Qilin Ancient Emperor and others also made this choice.

But soon, they withdrew again, their imperial bodies covered in wounds, their clothes stained with blood.

"Enough, enough, enough! Becoming an immortal is ultimately an unattainable dream!" The ancient emperor lamented, sitting cross-legged, having no strength left to launch a third attack.

His vital energy was depleted and his primordial spirit was decaying. Even if he were to immediately enter the forbidden zone of life, it would be impossible for him to prolong his life.

As for devouring the essence of all living beings...

But that is not their way!

Several ancient emperors were quite unrestrained; though there were regrets, they had made every attempt.

"My experiences on the path to immortality, my Dao and my methods, are all contained within this. I will cast it into the universe, and those with the right affinity will be able to obtain it." Several Great Emperors spoke loudly, spreading it throughout the universe, causing the eyes of the assembled heroes to light up.

The legacy of the ancient emperors—who in the world wouldn't be envious?

Whew~~~

Several beams of divine light pierced the sky, disappearing into the vast void, their destination unknown.

Some quasi-emperors and great saints licked their lips, their eyes burning with desire, and left one after another, searching for the light orbs emitted by the great emperors, hoping to obtain the inheritance within.

"Born of heaven and earth, and died of heaven and earth, though we lived a glorious life, now we realize it was all just a dream, a speck of dust in the long river of time."

"Go take a break! Go take a break!"

Several ancient emperors laughed heartily, then passed away peacefully, their light and rain emanating from them as they vanished completely beneath the starry sky.

"The Great Emperor of the Human Race is dead." Many human saints from all sides were filled with sorrow.

Even Cao Ya and the Great Accomplished Holy Body sighed.

"Father!" On the ancient star of Qilin, tears welled up in Huo Lin'er's beautiful eyes.

Like those ancient emperors, the Qilin Ancient Emperor was also on the verge of collapse.

“Foolish child…” The Qilin Ancient Emperor returned to his ancestral star, his face showing nostalgia. After comforting his daughter, he went to the edge of the universe to see his son.

In the end, he condensed his own insights into a ball of light and sent it into the dark space.

They didn't choose to leave it to Huolin Cave.

That is a path to disaster. Countless quasi-emperors and great saints throughout the universe covet it. No matter how strong the Fire Kirin Cave is, it cannot defend against it.

Not to mention, it might attract the attention of some supreme beings in restricted areas.

Those supreme beings who didn't awaken this time will, once they are revived when the Immortal Path of the Flying Immortal Star opens again, use any means necessary to gain their experience and be well-informed.

Therefore, the choice of the Qilin Ancient Emperor was exactly the same as that of the previous human emperors who had passed away.

"The path to immortality is long and uncertain..."

Finally, with a sigh, the Qilin Ancient Emperor, a dignified ancient emperor, also passed away, his imperial path collapsing and dissolving into the myriad paths of the universe.

"The emperors and sovereigns who were unwilling to start the dark turmoil have passed away. As for the rest..." The Great Accomplished Holy Body spoke, his golden hair flying, his holy power restrained, and a domineering fist intent began to accumulate.

“It’s our turn.” Cao Ya exhaled and whispered, “The remaining Supreme Beings were injured in both of their attacks on the Immortal Path Ancient Cave. Perhaps, there is still hope…”
