Cao Ya's eyes lit up, and he came up with a plan.

He shouted, "Ye Fan, attack only one person! Even if we die, we must perish together!"

Cao Ya spoke frankly and openly, without any pretense, which caused the six emperors to change color.

Ye Fan immediately realized what was going on and laughed, "Supreme Cao Ya, well said! Let's see who among you doesn't want to become an immortal and is willing to make others achieve it."

"By the way, after the Heavenly Gate opens, who can say for sure whether there will be a limit on the number of people allowed in?"

Ye Fan chuckled, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His face turned deathly pale, but under the influence of the "Zhe" secret technique, he quickly regained his vitality.

As expected, their direct conversation caused the six ancient emperors to begin to be wary of each other.

Cao Ya knew that this was a thorn in the side of the emperors.

This is also their opportunity.

Otherwise, if we really rely on attrition, given the current battle situation, even with the secret technique of the character "者", it will be difficult to hold out.

"stop!

The Beast God struck, severely injuring Cao Ya, and sneered, "You're still a bit short of skill if you want to sow discord."

"jingle……"

A brilliant purple light shone forth, and the Myriad Dragon Bell fell. The old dragon was extremely ferocious, and its control over the timing was absolutely exquisite.

"Buzz~~" Cao Ya manipulated the Immortal Tear Green Gold Gate, and the power of time surged, which made Wanlong Emperor wary and avoid this move.

In fact, for a group of ancient supreme beings, no Great Dao is as threatening as time!

"Hiss!"

"A burst of blood erupted, and half of Cao Ya's body was torn apart. The White Tiger Taoist's claws were swift, accurate, and ruthless, displaying unparalleled killing power."

The Supreme Being of Burial Sky Island was even more ferocious, each move targeting Cao Ya's vital points. Even with the Human Emperor Seal's defense, it was difficult to completely defend against him.

"ah!

"Cao Ya roared, disregarding the damage, he activated the 'Zhe' Secret Technique, exchanging injuries for injuries, and entangled the four supreme beings. The blue light swept away the enemy, mainly focusing on the Myriad Dragon Emperor and the Beast God."

[I highly recommend the source-switching app for reading books; it's really useful. Download huanyuanapp here. Everyone should give it a try!]

Immediately, the White Tiger Daoist and the Supreme Being of Burial Sky Island shifted their gazes slightly and retreated, avoiding close combat and instead unleashing powerful attacks from a distance, employing the Imperial Scripture Secret Technique.

"Bastards! Do you really think Cao Ya will let you off the hook?" Wanlonghuang said with a stern face.

The White Tiger Taoist chuckled. If the Myriad Dragon Emperor and the Beast God were to perish together with Cao Ya, it would be the best thing for him and the Supreme Being of Burial Sky Island.

There were no more enemies in the human world, nor any adversaries on the path to immortality.

As Ye Fan said, who can guarantee that the Heavenly Gate will be open to all without any limit on the number of people allowed in?

In their view, the restrictions imposed on places like the Immortal Realm are perfectly normal.

Anyone can become an immortal? Isn't that a joke?!

The Beast God's face was gloomy. Cao Ya's sword intent contained too many laws. Some were not particularly powerful, but others were extremely strong. The cycle of reincarnation made even the flawless ancient emperor feel troubled.

"Even if I kill Cao Ya, I will be seriously injured, making it difficult to compete with the White Tiger Daoist and the others for a spot to enter the Immortal Realm. There are only two or three of us to begin with." The Beast God thought to himself, waiting for an opportunity to retreat and avoid facing the pressure from Cao Ya.

Wanlonghuang shared the same idea.

The White Tiger Daoist and the Supreme Being of Burial Sky Island exchanged a glance and smiled. While launching a distant attack on Cao Ya, they also seemed to inadvertently target the Beast God and the Myriad Dragon Emperor, preventing them from retreating.

"Damn it... those two beasts..." The two ancient emperors' faces turned ashen, their eyes flashing with rage.

At this moment, their hostility towards the White Tiger Daoist and the Supreme Being of Burial Sky Island surged instantly, surpassing that of Cao Ya!

Seeing this, Cao Ya secretly breathed a sigh of relief; this strategy had worked after all.

With the emperors locked in a power struggle and unable to go all out, his pressure instantly lessened, allowing him to barely hold on, unlike before when a moment of carelessness would have led to his sudden death.

Even so, Cao Ya was also injured, bleeding profusely, and had to rebuild his body several times. His vital energy was greatly depleted, and it would take hundreds of years to recover.

On the other side, Ye Fan focused his attack on the Immortal Tomb Supreme. His Heavenly Emperor Fist was domineering and his fist intent was unparalleled. His combat power was comparable to that of a peak emperor.

The progenitor of Blood Phoenix Mountain pondered for a moment, then his golden phoenix-winged halberd circled, scattering a shower of light that resembled phoenix blood.

However, his true form retreated considerably, avoiding Ye Fan's magical power and thus avoiding injury.

Undoubtedly, the Immortal Tomb Supreme was also quite angry, but with Ye Fan's frenzied attacks and the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd causing trouble, he really had no way to break free.

"Haha, a bunch of villains!" Ye Fan sneered. In the midst of the battle, he was invincible, like a great emperor of the world, sweeping away all ages.

The Blood Phoenix Mountain Ancestor snorted, stared at the Immortal Tomb Supreme, glanced at Ye Fan, and finally fixed his gaze on the Primordial Emperor.

"Having come this far, it doesn't matter whether the Dao inscriptions above the Heavenly Gate are a hoax or real... there's no turning back now!"

The Blood Phoenix Mountain Ancestor pondered, "The Heavenly Gate requires the sacrifice of those who have reached the pinnacle of cultivation... Among the powerful figures present, Cao Ya and Ye Fan are indeed formidable. If they were to attain enlightenment, they might even rival the Emperor!"

"But they haven't become emperors yet. It's possible that sacrificing them, these two unconventional cultivators, would be useless."

"We still have to see the ancient emperor!"

The Blood Phoenix Mountain Ancestor looked around and reached a tacit understanding with the White Tiger Taoist and the Supreme Being of Burial Sky Island.

The Dragon Emperor, the Beast God, the Immortal Tomb Supreme, plus two others who achieved enlightenment through unconventional means—that should be more than enough, right?!

Therefore, while the Three Sovereigns openly attacked Cao Ya and Ye Fan, they also secretly targeted the other three Supreme Beings, launching sneak attacks on their allies, resulting in a chaotic battle.

The five top experts in the center of the battlefield were all in bad shape, their blood staining the sky.

Only the three emperors on the outer perimeter no longer suffered serious injuries.

The various lords were wary and fearful of each other, making the battle extremely painful.

However, for Cao Ya and Ye Fan, this is a good thing; they can persevere and wear down the Ancient Emperor.

"Boom..."

The fierce battle tore the heavens apart, and the great world was on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for the infusion of the laws of the immortal realm, the swirling immortal energy, and the flashing of various mysterious runes, this great world, including the immortal path, would have disappeared!

In the outside world, such a battle would be enough to destroy hundreds or thousands of star systems!

Turn a sea of ​​stars into a vacuum!

Fortunately, this was deep within the Great Rift of the Immortal Realm.

People outside the city, sensing the movements on the path to immortality, were filled with apprehension and deep anxiety.

Fearing the defeat of the current supreme being and the failure of the ancient emperor to ascend to immortality, all beings launched a dark upheaval, slaughtering all living beings.

Several ancient royal families, on the other hand, were worried about the fall of their own ancient emperors.

As for unrest, they don't care.

As long as the emperor lives, they will be in no danger.

In any case, from ancient times to the present, they have slaughtered countless beings.

With the recent rise of the Supreme Being and the growing power of the Heavenly Court, it has been forced to restrain itself.

At this moment, all the quasi-emperors had completed their tribulations, and their cultivation levels had improved. They should have been happy, but sensing the Great Emperor's Divine Calamity deep within the universe, the heroes from all directions were filled with despair.

"Heaven is unjust! If it were truly a golden age, why would supreme emperors appear one after another!"

"I'm so unwilling..."

The eyes of the assembled heroes darkened.

No matter how resentful they were, the old golden crow continued to cross the natural disaster, and, with each setback, it became stronger and showed no signs of defeat.

"boom!

The calamity of the emperor was violent, shaking the universe. A golden crow flapped its wings, dodging the lightning and crossing the divine river. Occasionally, when it could not hold on, it would hide in the golden bell to rest for a while before charging out again.

With the old Golden Crow's persistence, his unique Fiery Emperor Dao began to spread rapidly, sweeping across the edge of the universe, sweeping across all realms, causing the Great Dao to wail, and suppressing all the divine chains of order in the human world, thus bowing down under the Emperor Dao of one person.

He would stand alone high above, looking down upon the heavens and the earth, supreme throughout the ages.

Of course, this action was extremely difficult, with all forces pressing and extinguishing the path of fire, causing immense torment.

This is something that must be experienced; to reach the pinnacle of one's life, one must undergo this test.

"Chirp~" The golden crow cried out, and flames soared into the sky. A golden figure broke through all the restrictions, pierced through the heavenly tribulation, and broke through the divine water river with opposite attributes. He bathed in a thousand kinds of divine water and stood proudly under the starry sky.

"Is it going to succeed?" People held their breath. After the Demon Emperor and the Azure Emperor, another great emperor of the demon race was about to appear?!

On Fire Mulberry Star, cultivators from all walks of life were both delighted and nervous.

"Our ancestor has become an emperor and will surely suppress the universe! Cao Ya and Ye Fan will all have to submit!"

"The current emperor, full of vigor and vitality, is incomparable to those old supreme beings."

The people of the Golden Crow clan had bright eyes, and they saw their own clan's boundless glory and dominance over all realms.

"My body and soul, my Tao and my Dharma, are all improving; the mark of Heaven is just around the corner."

The old Golden Crow muttered to itself, "The Golden Bell has been bathed in calamity and is now ascending to the level of an Imperial Artifact."

He thought to himself that if he followed the steps steadily, he would surely become emperor!

However, it is easy to miss the opportunity to ascend to immortality.

Below the Emperor Realm, everyone yearns to become an Emperor; above the Emperor Realm, everyone aspires to become an Immortal!

He could sense the great battle on the Immortal Path, the clash of the Imperial Path, enough to destroy the world. The old Golden Crow hesitated again. He had not yet been able to cross it, he was half a step behind, and was temporarily inferior to those eight Supreme Beings. If he went in recklessly, he might even lose the Emperor Fruit that he had in his grasp.

"I will first become Emperor! This is what I have pursued in both my lives!"

The old golden crow roared, piercing through the heavenly tribulation, seizing control of the Heavenly Heart Mark, and merging its own imprint into it.

"Boom boom~~~"

At this moment, all living beings could feel that an unparalleled being was treading on countless paths, a fiery imperial path stretching across the universe.

"Emperor Golden Crow!"

!

Hundreds of millions of cultivators bowed down and paid homage to the great emperor of the world.

The Golden Crow Clan of Fire Mulberry Star were overjoyed, their excitement uncontrollable.

“One emperor and two venerable ones, this world… is no longer suitable for us.” A deep voice echoed within the Beidou Forbidden Zone.

Aside from these ancient supreme beings, perhaps only those powerful individuals aspiring to the path of emperors would feel such despair.

"There's no chance... There won't be another opportunity to attain enlightenment for the next twenty or thirty thousand years..."

"We have slumbered for countless millennia, and must continue to slumber, awaiting the next generation to awaken us... If we fail again in that lifetime..."

"Sigh, let's take it one step at a time. First, let's push our cultivation to the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm."

"In any case, the title of the Golden Age is genuine. Only by competing with others can we discover our own weaknesses and perfect our path."

"That's all we can do."

...

The heroes sighed, and after despair, they had no choice but to change their strategy.

After the Golden Crow Emperor broke through the Heavenly Tribulation, the Golden Bell shone brightly, illuminating the nine heavens. Its melodious chimes resonated throughout the universe, reaching countless ancient stars.

"Let's fight again on the Immortal Path!" Without hesitation, after becoming emperor, the Golden Crow Emperor finished refining the Great Bell and immediately crossed countless light-years, falling from the void to the location of the old Flying Immortal Star. Cao Ya's magic concealed the fact that immortal mist swirled in the great rift that spanned tens of millions of miles.

The Golden Crow Emperor stepped inside, struck the great bell, and unleashed a murderous aura that swept across the heavens, directly targeting the six ancient emperors.

Of course, his ultimate goal was still that Heavenly Gate.

Like the other supreme beings, the Golden Crow Emperor also longed to ascend to immortality.

"Arrogant! You've only just attained enlightenment, your realm isn't stable, and you haven't even reached the Emperor Realm yet, but you dare to storm the Heavenly Gate and ruin our grand plan! I think you're tired of living!"

"Perfect timing! To open the Heavenly Gate, we need to offer sacrifices to the Emperor. Isn't this the perfect candidate?"

The White Tiger Taoist, the Supreme Being of Burial Sky Island, and the Ancestor of Blood Phoenix Mountain sneered and suddenly pounced out to surround and kill the Golden Crow Emperor.

Cao Ya was blocked by Wanlong Emperor and Beast God, and Ye Fan was also fighting a bloody battle with Immortal Tomb Supreme. It seemed that he had no power to help Golden Crow Emperor.

Therefore, upon seeing the three ancient emperors rushing towards him, the Golden Crow Emperor's expression changed, and he gasped in shock.

Even at his peak, he can't handle three opponents at once...

"I will use your blood to establish my invincibility for eternity!" The Golden Crow Emperor shook off his distracting thoughts and roared fiercely. In this world, Cao Ya and Ye Fan had risen to prominence, their hands stained with the blood of ancient emperors, their military achievements outstanding, and they were respected by the world.

As the emperor of this era, the Golden Crow Emperor knew that he had to make great contributions in order to rule this time.

Killing the Supreme Being is undoubtedly the best way!

However, the three ancient emperors were not different. As soon as they started fighting, the Golden Crow Emperor almost suffered a loss. Fortunately, the Golden Bell of Tribulation protected him and blocked a killing move by the White Tiger Daoist.

"Truly weak." The White Tiger Daoist said disdainfully, using this attitude to undermine the Golden Crow Emperor's Dao heart.

The Golden Crow Emperor was indeed affected, but he quickly recovered.

It's not a one-on-one fight, so being at a disadvantage isn't something too bad.

Furthermore, he had gambled his entire life on it; such determination was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm here to help you." Cao Ya shouted. With a thought, the Human Emperor Seal and the Immortal Tear Green Gold Gate flew over to entangle the Ancient Emperor. Like the Golden Bell, they shared the pressure for the Golden Crow Emperor and defended against the Ancient Emperor's ultimate move.

Immediately, the situation of the Golden Crow Emperor improved significantly, and he was no longer in grave danger.

After all, he was a newly enlightened emperor, in excellent condition, and confident that he could defeat an ancient emperor in a one-on-one fight.

With two imperial artifacts gone, Cao Ya faced two ancient emperors alone, and the pressure instantly increased.

Fortunately, Cao Ya possessed many unique and powerful skills. His Death Qi Sword Technique was also feared by the Beast God and the Myriad Dragon Emperor, who dared not touch it.

Their condition, even the slightest contamination, could take away several years, or even decades, of their lifespan.

Where are there so many destinies?

Cao Ya's technique of traversing the void is also unpredictable, with countless sword lights piercing through the vast world.

Even in a one-on-two situation, Cao Ya was only slightly at a disadvantage.

Such terrifying combat power made the Dragon Emperor and the Beast God wary, and their killing intent surged.

In the third battlefield, Ye Fan smashed the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron and, with his Emperor Fist clenched, caused the Immortal Tomb Supreme to cough up blood.

Although he himself was also injured, he possessed forbidden magic and was not afraid of engaging in a war of attrition with the Immortal Tomb Supreme.

In an instant, all nine peak experts in the arena were stained with blood, their bodies shattered, yet they reassembled once more, blood and flesh splattering everywhere, and fragments of their souls flying out, drawn by special rules, and landing on the Heavenly Gate.

Soon after, a strange change occurred to that tall and majestic heavenly gate; with a rumbling sound, a crack appeared.

Instantly, all nine supreme beings were drawn to the scene.

"The Heavenly Gate has opened?!"
