"In the [Covering the Sky] universe, my cultivation level is slightly lower than Ye Fan's and the others, but not by much. If we calculate combat strength, I am in no way inferior to them!"

"However, in the [Sacred Ruins] timeline, the Heavenly Emperor's sweeping conquest of the universe was far from enough!"

Cao Ya sighed inwardly. Although time was a factor, he still wanted to master the ultimate power!

At this moment, the illusory figure of Emperor Ye, though his face was not clearly visible, had eyes as sharp as lightning, a majestic and heroic appearance, and his hands formed a fist seal. His imperial might surged, collapsing the void and causing all directions to wail!

"Ah!!" The Supreme Insect, the Supreme Giant, the Supreme Four-Faced Beast, and others were killed one after another by Emperor Ye. The unparalleled fist power caused their souls to explode, and the vicious blood rain soaked with the Emperor's aura scattered. The screams also stopped abruptly.

"Run!" Their remnant souls gathered their soul matter and activated the hidden power bestowed upon them by the eerie Immortal Emperor, yearning to escape!

However, Emperor Ye's divine might was unparalleled, and even the sun, moon, and stars paled in comparison!

"Boom!" Emperor Ye Tian's fist fell, seemingly transcending the constraints of time and space, with even time flowing backward!

"No..." Under the gazes of several people filled with supreme fear, the Emperor's Fist swept across the world, completely shattering their last remaining souls and disintegrating their true spirits. Everything returned to dust.

All the soul matter and divine particles were evaporated by Emperor Ye and turned into ashes. Even the strange divine power bestowed by the eerie Immortal Emperor was crushed by the Emperor's Fist and could not take effect, so it could not revive this group of supreme beings!

Then, Emperor Ye turned around and cast his gaze upon the remaining Supreme Beings.

Immediately, the eight supreme beings, the rotten and the supreme, were terrified, their pupils contracted sharply, and they retreated rapidly.

"High Priest!" The two supreme beings were filled with fear. Who but the High Priest could withstand such a ferocious emperor?

Even if all the supreme beings of the heavens joined forces, they would only be blown to pieces and reduced to ashes!

"Emperor Ye, you are indeed powerful!" The Divine Emperor was not afraid and secretly praised him, but his face showed a look of utter horror. He distanced himself from the group of immortals, seemingly not wanting to be entangled by the Boundless Bell, and fled like a madman towards the ultimate place of the River of Souls!

The body reflected by the Great Emperor Wushi had been sent flying hundreds of billions of miles by the Emperor's corpse earlier, but it had just given him an excuse to avoid the fist strike of Emperor Ye Tian.

"Whoosh!!" He stepped into the mysterious passage, seemingly eager to escape back to the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit!

"Emperor Ye, your divine might is unparalleled throughout history, suppressing all enemies in the world!"

In the distance, the immortals were shocked and extremely excited, their faces flushed and their blood boiling!

No matter how eloquent the records of ancient history may be, they cannot compare to the emotional impact of witnessing something firsthand!

"Only with such a performance, sweeping aside all rivals and becoming an invincible Heavenly Emperor, can one truly be renowned throughout history!"

The Monkey King, Li Da, Qi Zhen, and all the immortals in the mortal realm were all amazed!

"See that? This is the Heavenly Emperor of our era! In a word—'Invincible'!"

Black Emperor, Duan De, and Hua Hua couldn't help but roar, wanting to vent the pent-up frustration and bitterness they had endured for so many years.

"The Heavenly Emperor is not a figurehead, but a genuine big shot in all realms! The best among them are the supreme emperors!" Jiu Liu San was filled with admiration, but also felt a sense of loss.

The traces of the ancient Heavenly Emperor remain, but who knows where the chaotic Heavenly Emperor of the past went?

"Truly powerful!" Cao Ya exclaimed. Ye Tiandi's illusory image was at least at the seven-star level, no less than an ordinary Immortal Emperor.

He looked ahead and saw that of the dozen or so Supreme Beings from before, only four remained: the eight Supreme Beings from the River of Souls, the Rotten Supreme Being from the Four Extremes Floating Land, the God Emperor, and the Great Emperor Wushi!

"Is that the reflected body of the Great Emperor Wushi?" Cao Ya's heart stirred, and recalling the scene of the previous battle, he suddenly realized.

Outside the boundary, the chief priest's expression was unusually cold as he stared at Ye Tiandi, the Emperor's Corpse, and Chu Feng. The killing intent in his eyes was so tangible that it transformed into countless swords and blades, which shot towards him rapidly!

"Hmph." Chu Feng snorted coldly and was about to make a move to shatter those divine power swords.

"Boom!" Ye Tiandi took the lead and stepped out, not giving Chu Feng and the Emperor Corpse any space to fight.

Chu Feng was stunned. It seemed that Emperor Ye...did not want them to take action? Why was that?

Soon, Chu Feng suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that he was not a true emperor.

"That is the corpse of the Great Emperor Wushi. It would definitely be inferior to a Celestial Emperor in his prime."

"As for me... I only temporarily possess Emperor-level combat power because of the special nature of the stone jar. If such a rare item were exposed, it might even be taken away by the mysterious Immortal Emperor..."

Chu Feng thought to himself, and a chill ran down his spine. He would then be a sinner in all realms!

This stone jar will allow him to leap from the God-King realm in the human realm to the level of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor...

It goes without saying that it is a treasure left behind by the ancient Heavenly Emperor!

“But if we can’t defeat the chief priest, what about the other four supreme beings…” Chu Feng glanced around, his face darkening.

These supreme beings ran away too fast! In the blink of an eye, they were all gone!

Although his combat power has soared, his reckless incursion into the ultimate land of the Soul River, as well as the strange areas such as the Heavenly Emperor's Burial Pit and the Four Extremes Floating Soil, could lead to the emergence of a new Dark Immortal Emperor who might hide in the shadows and wait for an opportunity to ambush him!

This can be seen from the Celestial Emperor of Heaven.

As his combat power increased, Chu Feng's vision also broadened accordingly. He could see the scenery of the heavens and, through the illusion of prosperity, saw the essence of that great world!

"Ruins?!" Chu Feng's pupils contracted, his heart trembling with shock and disbelief.

When he was in the mortal realm, he had several encounters with people from the heavens. Most of them exuded arrogance from the bottom of their bones. After learning about the power of the heavens, Chu Feng was also amazed and surprised by the terror of the heavens!

But when he looked up, all he saw was endless ruins, collapsed buildings, corpses strewn everywhere, mountains crumbling, rivers drying up, and even the sun, moon, and stars cracked!

What golden age, with all races rising up and geniuses vying for the throne? It's all nonsense!

The heavens are clearly a ruined world that has long been destroyed by a strange force!

"No wonder the Black Emperor and the others had that attitude and sighed all the way." Chu Feng understood.

"Huh? That person is... Luo Tianxian?" Chu Feng's eyes suddenly flickered. On the desolate land of the heavens, he saw two living figures. One of them was still seriously injured and dying, with a solemn expression. They were confronting the same cold and powerful divine sense and searching for the source of the divine sense!

In the land of the heavens, the two Immortal Emperors naturally noticed Chu Feng's gaze.

“A mysterious character.” Luo Tianxian frowned slightly, not recognizing Chu Feng due to the fog.

Even she, at the level of an Immortal Emperor, couldn't see through the barrier on the mysterious person's body, which was enough to show how terrifying that person was!

“Since they are on the side of the heavens, then there’s no need to interfere,” said the heavily injured Immortal Emperor.

Throughout history, with the changing of eras, many immortal emperors have been born in the myriad worlds, but most of them were besieged and killed by strange forces and perished with resentment. However, there are always some emperors who survive even after suffering severe injuries, such as you and me.

"Who knows, that person might be a great supernatural being far more ancient than the heavens themselves!"

Luo Tianxian nodded. Emperors from different eras in the myriad realms have no conflicts and no contradictions. In addition, the strange threat has destined them to stand in the same position. Even though their paths are different and their ideas are not the same, when darkness revives, they still have to form an alliance to fight the enemy!

"Have you found that Dark Immortal Emperor?" Luo Tianxian asked, also spreading her divine sense to probe the cold divine thought that seemed to originate from nothingness but covered the heavens.

The Celestial Emperor frowned, finding the situation troublesome, and said, "The location keeps changing, it should be coming from the Sea Sacrifice... but the Sea Sacrifice place is chaotic and unclear..."

As he spoke, the Celestial Emperor of the Heavens had a sudden thought: Could it be that the strange ancestral land, that highland of peril, is located deep within the Sacrifice Sea?

"A sea sacrifice? That's very troublesome." Luo Tianxian said seriously. Even an Immortal Emperor would encounter a great crisis if he ventured deep into the sea for a sea sacrifice!

Below the level of the Immortal Emperor, the chances of survival are slim, and even for those who are supreme among all the heavens, this is still the case!

"Luo Tianxian, the Dao Child of Heaven, I once fought with her. I never expected that she was already an Immortal Emperor. The one I fought was just a reflection of her in her youth."

Chu Feng sighed inwardly, having come to understand the true nature of Heaven and also the situation of Luo Tianxian.

The heavens of today are a scene from countless eras ago, when Luo Tianxian was still just a young and beautiful woman, not yet a king or an emperor!

Historically, Luo Tianxian attained the title of Immortal Emperor. However, the coexistence of multiple emperors in the heavens was too prosperous, arousing strange fears and leading to the destruction of the world. The heavens were no match for them and were completely crushed.

The two surviving Celestial Emperors, filled with both grief and indignation, unleashed their unparalleled divine powers, reflecting the passage of time and recreating the most magnificent and glorious scene of the heavens!

They hoped that, through the long course of history, all the spirits of heaven would truly reappear in the world!

"So, apart from Luo Tianxian, all the other Heavenly Pride Daoists who clashed with me were long dead!" Chu Feng sighed.

"Wait!" His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked towards the Yang Realm, but there was no desolate land that covered the entire world; only some areas were barren and dilapidated.

Chu Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the mortal realm was not a desolate wasteland!

"Besides the chief priest, other immortal emperors from this strange race have also been resurrected?"

Chu Feng frowned. The Heavenly Immortal Emperor's appearance was not deliberately concealed. With the help of the Pollen Empress, Chu Feng was able to see through it. That cold divine sense was filled with ominousness, clearly indicating that he was the Dark Immortal Emperor!

"The sacrificial sea beyond the universe... what exactly is that place?" Chu Feng murmured to himself, marveling at how many secrets there were in the world, even emperors could not know everything!

"Boom..."

At this moment, Emperor Ye launched a violent attack, piercing through the Chaos Sea. His fist was fierce and relentlessly blasted the chief priest!

"If you were my true form, I might be a little wary, but you're just a pair of fist imprints. Do you think you're worthy to fight me?" the chief priest sneered. The sacrificial ground behind him began to boil, and the primordial energy roared and surged outwards.

"The true supreme emperor possesses boundless supernatural powers; any trace will become a coordinate, bringing him back!"

"Erase all traces, sever ancient history, and prevent mortal beings from thinking about or remembering it. Even an emperor at the end of the road will be unable to defy fate. When no one remembers him anymore, it means the emperor's complete death!"

The chief priest spoke in a chilling tone, his eyes cold and piercing, determined to erase the fist imprint of Emperor Ye and cut off his path to return.

"Secrets of the Immortal Emperor!"

Upon hearing this, all the immortals were shocked, their faces filled with disbelief!

Even if an Immortal Emperor-level being suffers an accident, it doesn't count as a true fall; they can still return.

Only when all beings are free from thought and desire, and history books are devoid of any mention, can it truly vanish and never reappear.

"The terror of the Immortal Emperor is beyond our imagination!" the immortals couldn't help but sigh. Such an existence is truly absurd to even contemplate!

"Many people still remember the ancient Heavenly Emperors! They cannot possibly be dead!"

Jiu Liu San, Hei Huang, Duan De, and Hua Hua all spoke in deep voices, hoping that one day they could see the true forms of the four Heavenly Emperors, rather than their corpses or branded fist marks.

They also believed that the Four Heavenly Emperors must possess such great power that they could reverse life and death, and distort time and space as if it were nothing!

"For a seven-star level expert, reversing cause and effect and controlling the river of time is just a trivial matter." Cao Ya muttered to himself. Only one Immortal Emperor could contend with another!

Even the strongest Quasi-Immortal Emperor cannot withstand the attack of an Immortal Emperor by himself!

Those who can break through to the Seven-Star Immortal Emperor level are all unparalleled heroes, one in a billion years!

"If the Immortal Emperor is like this, then what about those on the other shore, those who control the primordial chaos, and the Primordial Saints—aren't they all such extraordinary beings?!"

Cao Ya thought to himself, if one of me could break through to the seventh star level and benefit from it, I would be able to fight alongside the Immortal Emperors of all realms!

Then, Cao Ya smiled bitterly, wondering if there were many other versions of himself who were hoping for him!

Although there are quite a few seven-star universes connected by the system space, the number of the most powerful beings that can be compared with the [Sacred Ruins] universe is extremely small!

"I've only just seen the path to the sixth-level Immortal King. Whether I can become a giant is still uncertain. There's still some hope for the subsequent Emperor Light Immortal King and Quasi-Supreme levels, but the Supreme level is slim, let alone the Supreme Emperor realm!"

Cao Ya pondered, counting his past selves in the seven-star universes such as [Peerless One], [Primordial Era], [Immortal Gourd], [Desolate Era], and [Stellar Transformation], if he were to consider the probability of breaking through to the seven-star level, it seemed that the hope for any of them was extremely slim!

It's not that it equals zero!

"With the help of other extraordinary systems, as long as there is enough time, even if it takes a long time to cultivate, and one can maintain a stable mindset without being arrogant or impatient, there is always a chance!"

Cao Ya thought to himself, if he could safely return to the mortal realm, the most urgent task would be to break through to the next realm and become a king!

******

"Once the Gray Grand Ceremony begins, everything left over from before—imperial marks, imperial blood, and even historical records—must be erased!"

"The lambs that are left for the new era do not need to know what happened in prehistory."

In the endless, distant world beyond, the chief priest looked down at Emperor Ye Tian, ​​then swept his gaze over the Emperor's corpse, Chu Feng, and the two Immortal Emperors of the heavens, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"You remnants of prehistoric times, you're like grasshoppers in autumn, you won't be able to jump around for many more days."

The chief priest whispered and made his move directly. His unique supernatural power disrupted the long river of time, and chaotic mist surged forth, falling towards Emperor Ye.

"Bang!" Emperor Ye raised his hand to retaliate. No matter what kind of supernatural power you have, it is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot under the Emperor's fist. It is directly shattered. Even the chaotic energy opened a channel for the Emperor's fist. It could not hinder Emperor Ye's offensive pace at all!

"As expected of a supreme Heavenly Emperor, even the Dao essence contained within his fist imprint is incredibly powerful!"

The high priest's eyes were sharp and cold as he said, "But my sacrificial text originates from the progenitor. How will you respond?"
