"The Devouring Emperor once swept away the forbidden zone of life with a single sword strike during his lifetime," Cao Ya said.

Ye Fan and his group were startled. Forbidden zones of life? On the Big Dipper, there are seven forbidden zones of life that have existed for millions or tens of millions of years. From the mythological era to the present, they have gone through the Primordial Era and the Ancient Era. They have never heard of any of them experiencing extinction.

"The Ruthless Great Emperor destroyed the Forbidden Zone of Life?!" Ye Fan was shocked.

"Never heard of it," the old blind man said, puzzled.

The forbidden zone on the ancient star of the Big Dipper has been the source of darkness and turmoil since ancient times. Even the Great Emperor had to deal with it seriously and could not quell it.

The Ruthless Emperor actually...

Why haven't these momentous events been passed down?

"The ancestral home of that Holy Spirit Royal Family?" The Black Emperor recalled that the Great Emperor Wushi had mentioned this matter, speaking with great respect.

“Hmm.” Cao Ya nodded and said, “The Ruthless Emperor is the most talented person in history. He reversed his mortal body to become the Dao and reached the pinnacle. He became incredibly powerful. The Feathered Divine Dynasty and the ancestral land of the Holy Spirit Royal Family were destroyed with the Ruthless Emperor’s palm.”

Everyone was startled.

"The Ruthless Great Emperor even destroyed a divine dynasty?" Duan De glared.

"The Feathered Divine Dynasty?" Zhang Lin, the fifth-generation Source Master, frowned. He had heard of the name before, but it had been so long that he couldn't quite remember it.

"The divine dynasty established by the Feathered Emperor?!" Suddenly, Zhang Lin remembered, his expression shocked.

Cao Ya hummed in agreement, glanced at Ye Fan with a meaningful look that left Ye Fan completely bewildered and confused.

The destruction of the Feathered Divine Dynasty was inextricably linked to the fate of the Ruthless Great Emperor's brother.

Ye Fan is that similar flower.

Otherwise, why was Ye Fan able to obtain the divine artifacts left behind by the Ruthless Great Emperor, such as the Mother Qi of All Things, when he was still a minor cultivator?

Recalling the scene when the Ruthless Great Emperor ruled the world, everyone was in a daze. It was indeed an era that was no less than that of the Beginningless Great Emperor. The human race was at its peak, all races were in awe, and even the supreme beings of the forbidden zones dared not show their faces.

Any disturbances in forbidden zones, any Great Accomplished Holy Spirit, any Dark Sovereign, any Supreme Being, any Immortal Holy Spirit—if they dare to appear, they will all be suppressed and killed without any suspense.

The two most invincible human emperors throughout history are the Ruthless Emperor and the Beginningless Emperor.

After they became emperors, the supreme beings of the forbidden zone lay dormant, not daring to even peek out, filled with immense fear.

They brought the glory of humanity to its zenith, and all of heaven and earth were awestruck.

Of course, the Great Emperor Wushi was more proactive.

"Then let's use the Emperor's weapon to intimidate the Big Dipper!" Duan De gritted his teeth and said. Although he had a part of the Devouring Demon Jar and the lid was in his hands, he was not a good person. He spent his days digging up graves and stealing tombs, which damaged his virtue. How could he be called a righteous person?

But when faced with the greater good, Duan De knew he could distinguish between what was important and what was not.

Moreover, Sage Cao Ya is not the kind of domineering and unreasonable person. He should return the lid to him after he has finished using it.

"This Devouring Demon Jar, Sage Cao, you shall take control of it," the old blind man said, offering to give up the jar itself.

Cao Ya took it, and it felt heavy.

This is trust, and it is also responsibility.

But he already possessed the combat power of a Great Sage, and now he wields an ultimate imperial weapon, which is also the imperial weapon of the Ruthless Great Emperor. Who is he afraid of?

Even if a great saint or quasi-emperor from the ancient races were to emerge and intercept him with ancient imperial weapons, Cao Ya would not be afraid.

Seeing the ancient sage wielding the ultimate imperial weapon of the Ruthless Great Emperor, the Great Emperor's aura rose and fell, faintly, as if countless worlds were being born and destroyed, and the universe was filled with lamentations.

Duan De and the old blind man had to admit that only imperial weapons under the control of a sage truly possessed some of the grandeur of the ultimate path.

At the same time, they are more confident.

With the Devouring Demon Jar in hand, Sage Cao Ya could surely subdue the Big Dipper and make all the ancient races wary.

Among the ancient races sealed away in the dust, those that could be sealed with precious divine sources were either prodigies or veteran powerhouses, and naturally, there was no shortage of saints.

However, due to the changes in the world during the post-ancient era, the Big Dipper Star did not allow the attainment of sainthood. Although there was a brief period of revival, in general, there were very few saints, and most of them had passed away. This led to the weakness of the Big Dipper human race in the face of the ancient races.

Cao Ya knew, however, that in the present universe, the human race was still the dominant force.

The ancient star of the Big Dipper is home to a quasi-emperor peak powerhouse—Gai Jiuyou, who lives in seclusion.

However, Gai Jiuyou is an ancient person from almost ten thousand years ago, and he is about to pass away. If he makes a move, his passing may occur immediately.

Now that he had the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar, an imperial weapon, Cao Ya was confident.

As long as the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone doesn't make a move, neither the Great Sage nor the Quasi-Emperor has anything to fear.

“Let’s go deeper into the area,” Ye Fan suggested.

The group set off and headed towards the deepest part of Purple Mountain. Half an hour later, a peaceful atmosphere began to emerge ahead, and the amount of orchids and dragon grass gradually increased. Purple and auspicious energy rose from many cliffs.

With all their objectives achieved, Ye Fan, Duan De, the Blind Man, and the Black Emperor finally had the leisure to appreciate the scenery within Purple Mountain.

Cao Ya remained calm; they considered them to be ancient sages, knowledgeable and experienced, and were therefore not surprised.

Actually, it's because Cao Ya has too many memories of the universe.

Only Zhang Lin had a slightly bitter expression on his face and a lonely figure.

No one could offer any comfort.

Zhang Lin was an ancient person from more than 10,000 years ago. All his relatives, friends, and acquaintances have passed away, leaving him feeling desolate.

Even the greatest emperors of antiquity were powerless against the passage of time.

This led to their slight surprise at Cao Ya's mood.

However, there are many independent cultivators in the cultivation world.

Suddenly, everyone stopped in their tracks.

"That is..."

The road has come to an end. Ahead lies a massive platform, its base overgrown with dragon grass and divine flowers. Above it, chaotic energy swirls and cascades down, each strand capable of crushing the heavens for eternity!

This place is extremely special and mysterious, as if it connects the past, present, and future, and is linked to infinite time and space.

"I saw a god, it was... the Great Emperor Wushi!"

Duan De cried out in alarm. His Yin-Yang Heavenly Eyes emitted two eerie beams of light as he stared intently at the magnificent, mountain-like Dao Platform.

Chaotic Qi is mysterious and ancient. Even a wisp of it is enough to shake the world. Even important figures such as the Holy Lord of the Ancient Holy Land and the patriarch of the Ancient Clan are tempted by it. It can be refined into a supreme treasure to suppress one's foundation.

However, here, thousands upon thousands of streams, like waterfalls of divine power, cascaded down with a thunderous roar, creating a vast, terrifying mist that made one want to kneel in worship.

It was a terrifying scene: chaotic energy, like a great waterfall, cascaded down in waves, engulfing the platform and leaving only a portion exposed—a truly magnificent sight.

Below the platform, everyone stood there stunned for a long while.

"A miracle!" the old blind man murmured.

"What happened to that person?" Duan De asked, looking up in disbelief.

"Great Emperor!" the Black Emperor exclaimed excitedly. He had also seen it; it was the back of the Great Emperor Wushi, facing all living beings alone.

Not only them, but Cao Ya, Ye Fan, and Zhang Lin were also shocked. This was a chaotic origin, and just now, in a daze, they had also seen a god-like figure sitting cross-legged on the platform, but now it had disappeared.

"Great Emperor!" The Black Emperor's voice was mournful. At this moment, he and Zhang Lin seemed to share a common temperament.

Loneliness, grief, sorrow.

"The legendary Emperor Wushi has also passed away," Zhang Lin murmured.

Ye Fan, Duan De, and the old blind man sighed, while the Black Emperor let out a mournful howl.

Upon hearing this, Cao Ya inwardly refuted it, for the Great Emperor Wushi, as one of the most powerful emperors throughout history, had not yet passed away and was still in that strange world, confronting the immortals of the mortal realm.

Those who attain immortality amidst the mortal world are unparalleled in the universe!
