On Earth, Lao Tzu, Shakyamuni, Shennong, and the Yellow Emperor, these four extraordinary beings, stepped out of Earth, traversed space, and chased after the supreme beings of light and darkness.

Seeing that Earth was safe and sound and that no supreme being would invade, the four felt somewhat relieved and decided to go out.

The mournful cries of all souls resound throughout the world; they cannot be ignored.

However, due to concerns about Earth, they dared not launch an attack rashly.

Only then did they have confidence that the blue star would be safe.

"I heard... the wailing of countless people..." Along the way, Shennong and Huangdi both sensed something, their expressions were stunned, their eyes slightly red, a kind of sorrow that almost brought them to tears.

"I have also heard the prayers and expectations of all beings," Shakyamuni murmured, his monk's robes fluttering, his Buddhist chants echoing, and his quasi-imperial aura overflowing with unparalleled power.

Although they are spirits of imperial corpses, they only inherited the imperial body of the former emperor. As for the Dao and Law, they all cultivated them themselves and could not possibly possess the laws of the emperor.

In fact, although the Emperor's body was strong, the fact that he had died of old age indicated that his body was declining in vitality and was exhausted.

This is a double-edged sword.

Lao Tzu's hair and beard were completely white, and he appeared ethereal and otherworldly, possessing the charm of a celestial being.

As the spirit of the Emperor's corpse, the Celestial Venerable of Morality, millions of years have passed. In the present universe, people may know his name from his previous life, but it is impossible for them to pray to the Celestial Venerable of Morality.

The ancient celestial beings of the mythological era are far too ancient.

People prayed to the ancient emperor.

Those dozens of ancient emperors, whose fame resounded throughout the heavens and were praised for eternity, were revered by all the heavens and realms, and were admired and highly respected.

Among them, the Void Emperor, the Eternal Universe Emperor, the Amitabha Buddha Emperor, the Western Queen Mother, the Dao Yan Emperor, the Nine Li Emperor, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, the Beginningless Emperor, and the Ruthless Emperor, etc., have cultivators in various star fields secretly praying for the emperors to be revived, reappear in the mortal world, and suppress the dark turmoil!

“We have failed to attain the Dao, but the Dao itself is the peak of the Quasi-Emperor level. Our Emperor bodies are very strong, but we have many hidden injuries and our blood and qi are withered. We are not comparable to normal peak Quasi-Emperors,” Shennong said. “Currently, the four Supreme Beings are invincible. If the four of us join forces, we can at most stop one of them.”

"Perhaps, there could be more," the Yellow Emperor said thoughtfully.

Shennong turned his head, as if he had heard something, and nodded immediately.

"If I could regain control of the imperial weapon I forged in my previous life, perhaps..." Shennong murmured.

This body belonged to Emperor Hengyu, who fell to Earth after his death. Due to the supernatural phenomena of the Corpse-Nourishing Land, a new consciousness gradually emerged, namely Shennong.

"It seems that the ancient clans are sacrificing their lives and offering blood sacrifices to the imperial weapon, hoping to awaken the weapon of the ancient emperor, reproduce the invincible divine power of the ancient emperor, and quell the turmoil." The Yellow Emperor sensed it carefully. Due to his physical body, he had a special feeling for the Void Mirror of the Ancient Ji Clan.

"That's true." Shennong also noticed the changes in Hengyu Furnace.

Even Shakyamuni Buddha is vaguely linked to the Vajra (peace beetle).

Only Lao Tzu, because the era of the Moral Celestial Venerable was too ancient, had his imperial weapon lost to history.

"Unfortunately, the attempt by the Beidou Buddhist sect to achieve immortality through a single leap has failed." Shakyamuni sighed. After becoming a great sage on Earth, he traveled through the universe, visited Beidou, entered the Western Desert, and climbed Mount Sumeru. Due to ideological conflicts, he was almost imprisoned, but he managed to fight his way out entirely by relying on his own strength.

Otherwise, he would not be able to return to Earth.

As it turns out, the schemes of the Beidou Buddhist sect were nothing but a mirage, visible but untouchable.

Lacking the proper lineage of Amitabha Buddha, he was still a step away from the demon-subduing pestle, unlike Shennong and Huangdi who stood beside him.

Although the Amitabha Starfield, where the Buddha Emperor originated, has the main foundation of Buddhism, that place also holds a hostile attitude towards Shakyamuni—ever since Shakyamuni struck Mount Sumeru!

"Shennong and I wield the divine weapons of the ancient emperors. With this relationship, the Dao principles that conceal the imperial body may reappear. At that time, we will be true emperors!" said the Yellow Emperor.

As for what will happen next, whether his will will be erased...

The Yellow Emperor, however, did not care.

All he's thinking about now is increasing his power and striking down the Supreme Being!

"Shakyamuni and I will then search for imperial formations and imperial artifacts, even if they are just fragments, to use in our attacks against the Supreme Being," Laozi said.

In the battle for supreme power, it's really difficult for anyone below the Emperor level to get involved; most of them are just cannon fodder.

Soon, the four devised a plan. Shakyamuni and Lao Tzu, based on their past experiences traveling through all the worlds, investigated each place one by one.

They yearn to find the incomplete Emperor-level killing formation!

Imperial weapons are indeed hard to find!

Meanwhile, Huangdi and Shennong stood in the void, their eyes slightly closed, fully exploring the past of this body, hoping to activate the hidden laws of the Great Emperor.

At this time, on two ancient stars, the ancient Ji family and the ancient Jiang family, after leaving the Big Dipper, led their clansmen and many people from their territories to migrate here in batches through domain gates and teleportation arrays.

When the Dark Turmoil truly erupted, the two ancient clans acted almost in unison.

"Buzz..."

The entire clan, from the elderly to the young children, all looked serious as they squeezed out their essence blood, which contained a trace of the blood inherited from the Great Emperor. Then, under the guidance of the clan's higher-ups, the essence blood flowed like rivers flowing into the sea, forming a torrent that ultimately submerged the Supreme Emperor Weapon.

It doesn't require much; a drop of essence blood is enough and won't cause any harm to the clansmen.

The Void Mirror and the Eternal Furnace trembled slightly, as if revealing wisps of imperial might.

Jiang Taixu, Ji Zi, Ji Haoyue, and others looked excited and became even more focused, reciting the Great Emperor's scriptures and communicating with the ancient artifact.

With their strength, without the weapons of the ancient emperors, it would be impossible for them to participate in battles at the supreme level.

Awakening the Void Mirror and the Eternal Furnace is their only goal right now!

Buzz!

The ancient mirror is dazzling, flowing with rays of immortal brilliance.

In the dim light, a figure seemed to be standing in the empty star field, with his eyes closed. His appearance was exactly the same as the portrait of the Void Emperor that had been passed down in the Ji family for hundreds of thousands of years!

Upon witnessing this scene, Ji Zi, Ji Haoyue, Ji Ziyue, and everyone in the Ji family were taken aback.

Suddenly, the figure reflected in the mirror opened its eyes, and as if ten thousand divine lights were blooming, dazzling and brilliant.

"Mirror, come here!"

A majestic shout resounded throughout the universe!

"It is... the Void Emperor!"

"All spirits trembled."

Even the Lord of the Divine Ruins, the Supreme Being of Light and Darkness, the Supreme Being of Abandoned Heaven, and the Great Accomplished Overlord Body couldn't help but turn their attention and release their divine senses to detect the current commotion in the myriad realms.

"Hengyu Furnace, awaken." At the same time, Shennong said softly.

In the territory of the ancient Jiang family, all clansmen performed a blood sacrifice. The white-robed god-king Jiang Taixu and the current clan leader Jiang Yifei stood at the forefront, possessing the greatest strength. They drew upon the essence and blood of the clansmen and poured it into the Hengyu Emperor Furnace.

They themselves also squeezed out blood, which fell onto the furnace.

Unlike the ancient Ji family, which still has one surviving member, the imperial princes of the Jiang family had all perished in the various dark upheavals, sacrificing their lives for the sake of all living beings.

This is why, in this golden age, many princes and princesses of the ancient royal families have been resurrected, but only a very few princes and princesses of the ancient emperors have emerged from the divine source and appeared in the world.

Most of them died in the dark ages without an emperor!

Like the ancient emperors, their children also deserve the respect of all races!

boom!

Their persistent appeals finally received a response.

The Hengyu Furnace trembled, and its blood-red body burst into flames, like divine flames of the Great Dao, capable of burning through the heavens.

Seemingly sensing Shennong's presence and recognizing a familiar aura, and having received a blood sacrifice from the Jiang family, the Hengyu Furnace fully revived, its imperial might astonishing the world.

At this moment, the Jiang family members also saw Shennong somewhere in the universe through the Hengyu Furnace.

Surprised, Jiang Taixu, Jiang Yifei, and others also suddenly realized what was happening.

"God King, let me go. I look exactly like my ancestor. This time, it is my duty to make the sacrifice! All the imperial sons and daughters of my clan perished in the ancient dark ages. No one is more suitable than me!" Jiang Yifei said in a deep voice, his hair flying, fearless of death.

By the way, the best app for reading aloud right now is Yeguo Reading (yeguoyuedu). Install the latest version.

Gazing at that face, so identical to that of their ancestor, Jiang Taixu and the others remained speechless.

“You have a child, let me go. Our ancestors buried themselves, and the imperial body is spiritually connected. Perhaps, your absence won’t matter much,” Jiang Taixu thought for a moment and said.

In the crowd, an ordinary woman, with tears in her eyes, held a child's hand and wept silently.

But she didn't say anything.

Even though she was heartbroken, she didn't want to affect Jiang Yifei.

As the clan leader, Jiang Yifei possesses power, but he also bears the greatest responsibility.

"Good boy, Feng'er." Jiang Caixuan picked up the three or four-year-old child and helped her sister-in-law.

All the clansmen and elders in the surrounding area remained silent, their faces showing sorrow.

If someone were to travel with Hengyu Furnace during such a powerful and unprecedented dark upheaval, their fate would be easily imaginable.

But how can we not go?

“As far as I know, that person is Shennong from Earth. His path is different from that of our ancestors. He needs our help to fully revive the ancestral emperor’s way and reproduce the supreme glory of Emperor Hengyu!” Jiang Taixu said softly. “I alone am enough for such a person. Yifei, you stay. With you in the Jiang family, I am at ease.”

"Furthermore, if one's strength is insufficient, even if one integrates with the Emperor's Body, it will be of no use."

The elders of the Jiang family were ashamed. They had lived for thousands of years, and in terms of strength, they were not only inferior to the peerless god-king, but even Jiang Yifei was far inferior.

"If we are strong enough, we won't have to let the young people die for us. We're all almost old enough to live anyway."

The elders felt ashamed.

"I have already met the standard!" Jiang Yifei said in a deep voice. "Even the God-King Physique of my clan is no match for me. Apart from you, God-King, I am the most powerful person in the entire clan—forgive me for being so arrogant!"

"Taking appearance into account, God King, you have to admit that I am the most suitable candidate!"

After speaking, without waiting for Jiang Taixu's reply, Jiang Yifei took the initiative to take over the gradually reviving Hengyu Furnace. Originally an imperial furnace forged from phoenix blood and crimson gold, it was now stained with the blood of the entire Jiang family, making it even more vibrant and pungent with a bloody smell.

"Emperor Hengyu!"

Jiang Yifei roared, activated the imperial artifact, tore through the void, and fled to the place where Shennong was.

Jiang Taixu was a step too late and had no choice but to follow closely.

Fortunately, being of the same lineage and having been manipulated several times, Hengyu Furnace became familiar with his aura and did not reject him.

So, the two of them appeared before Shennong in one furnace. Without saying a word, the three of them merged together, with Shennong as the master.

Shennong was not only the strongest, but also because his body was the imperial body of Emperor Hengyu.

Beside him, the Void Mirror, carrying Ji Zi and Ji Haoyue, also appeared and merged with the Yellow Emperor.

"Haoyue, you have a close family, a wife, children, and so on. You shouldn't perish like this. Go back. Your wife and children are still waiting for you." Ji Zi said softly. When she merged with the Yellow Emperor, she used her magic power to directly knock the unsuspecting Ji Haoyue out and sent him back to the Ji family with the help of the Emperor Mirror's divine laws.

"Little Ancestor!" Ji Haoyue exclaimed.

“My joys and sorrows, my loves and hates, all belong to the ancient times. In this era, I am merely a passerby. Death may well be a liberation,” Ji Zi sighed.

As an imperial prince, he was sealed away to the future due to the needs of the dark turmoil. During this time, his older brothers and sisters were born first and died to quell the turmoil.

His familiar relatives and friends, his old acquaintances, have all passed away long ago, separated by countless millennia, and even their graves are hard to find.

In this era, Himeko always felt out of place.

"Perhaps, dying like this is the best ending for me." Ji Zi chuckled, severing Ji Haoyue's path to return, and the space closed.

Then, he completely merged into the Yellow Emperor's body, awakening the former Void Emperor with his most intimate blood.

"Father..." Before disappearing, Himeko's eyes filled with tears.

“Child, you are a brave person,” said the Yellow Emperor. He sensed a familiar consciousness appear out of thin air and merge with him, becoming one with him, each containing the other.

That is the will of the Void Emperor!

"Mirror, come here!"

When the Yellow Emperor opened his eyes, his divine light was vast and boundless. The imperial way that belonged only to the Void Emperor permeated the heavens and the earth, suppressing the past, present and future!

He is now already the Void Emperor.

That ancient emperor who fought his entire life but whose lifespan was shorter than that of a normal emperor, took several supreme beings with him when he passed away in his later years, perishing together with them!

The Void Mirror roared, emanating joyful emotions and radiating endless auspicious light, before falling into the hands of the Void Emperor.

At the same time, within Shennong's body, Jiang Taixu, relying on his greater strength and deeper familiarity with the Hengyu Furnace, took over control of it. A surge of divine power sent Jiang Yifei flying, returning him to the Jiang family.

"Go back, don't let those who are waiting for you pass away in vain." Jiang Taixu sighed. He had been trapped in Zishan for thousands of years. The world had changed, his relatives and friends had passed away, his beloved had aged, and he was on the verge of death. This was his eternal pain.

He didn't want Jiang Yifei to follow the same tragic path as himself.

"God King!" Jiang Yifei shouted, but ultimately flew out and crashed into the ancient star where the Jiang family now resided.

Buzz...

After that, Jiang Taixu completely merged with Shennong.

The will of Emperor Hengyu slowly awakened within the body of the former emperor.

"My Jiang family children are all outstanding! Shennong, yet you must perish with me." Emperor Hengyu learned of the history of the ancient Jiang family over the past hundreds of thousands of years after his death. Although he was saddened, he was also proud.

Finally, he apologized to Shennong, with whom he had merged consciousness.

"We are one, why say more?" After saying this, Shennong's voice disappeared, and like Jiang Taixu, he completely merged into Emperor Hengyu.

Of the three, only Emperor Hengyu can rival the Supreme and fully control the Hengyu Furnace.

"boom!

!

Emperor Hengyu held the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Furnace in his palm, and in an instant, it burst forth with billions of brilliant lights. His aura was so powerful that it made the entire universe tremble.

"The Void Emperor! The Eternal Universe Emperor!"

In the vast void, countless ancient stars and billions of living beings all prayed devoutly, chanting the names of the two ancient emperors, their spiritual power surging and pouring into their decaying bodies.

Although the two ancient emperors no longer possessed their peak power, their imperial bodies had decayed and they had already died once. Moreover, this was an alternative return, not a resurrection, so their power was also diminished.

However, the combat power of an alternative Daoist is undeniable!

The two emperors surveyed the world and discovered the perilous situation within its borders.

The four powerful beings—Eternal Life Celestial Venerable, Stone Emperor, Lord of Reincarnation, and Abandoned Heaven Supreme—are all resisted. Only the Light and Dark Supreme, Lord of Divine Ruins, and Great Accomplishment Overlord Body are unmatched and are rampaging through the star sea, slaughtering all living beings and devouring blood essence.

Upon realizing this, they were enraged. Divine light emanated from beneath their feet, instantly traversing the void and striking the Lord of the Divine Ruins and the Supreme Being of Light and Darkness.

As for the Great Accomplishment Body...

They discovered that the Great Accomplished Holy Body, which was manipulating the fusion, was flying out of the Big Dipper, heading towards Ye Fan, the contemporary Holy Body, who was about to join the battle!

In fact, their condition was even worse than that of the supreme beings.

It's really unlikely that you can deal with several at once.
