The Great Body Master felt that exchanging his life for Ye Fan's was not a loss!
They also eliminated a major enemy of the Overlord Body lineage!
"stop!
"
Having made up his mind, the Great Perfection Body "Xuanming" glared fiercely and flew out directly into the sea of lightning. Although he still had a secret technique protecting him, the rules sensed it and began to send down lightning bolts, scorching flames, wind, rain, and thunder, all surging together to destroy this being that dared to desecrate the majesty of heaven and earth.
Ke Xuanming ignored it, merely raising his hand to retaliate slightly, even drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to launch a fierce attack towards Ye Fan's location.
"Decisive enough!" Ye Fan praised. Although they were enemies, he couldn't help but admire their ruthlessness and desperate fighting style.
Of course, this puts even more pressure on Ye Fan.
Xuanming possesses a genuine Great Perfection Body. Even though he is old and frail and cannot fight for long, he still possesses peak combat power in the short term, comparable to a supreme being!
At this time, although Ye Fan had survived many tribulations, he had not yet achieved complete success and had not yet reached the pinnacle of his abilities. His Sacred Body was still just one step away from being fully realized!
"But this is also my opportunity... Such immense pressure, it's either life or death... I can feel the magical power within my body, and the Great Dao, rapidly perfecting themselves, reaching their pinnacle..."
Ye Fan's pores were open, and his body radiated celestial light. He didn't seem like a creature of the mortal realm, but rather like an immortal descended from the celestial realm!
"So what if he's an immortal? With my domineering fist, I'll kill them all!" Xuan Ming roared, his whole body glowing, purple energy soaring into the sky, like a divine purple dragon, he injured Ye Fan, cracking his bones as if they were shattered.
However, with the activation of the "Zhe" secret technique, Ye Fan quickly recovered and withstood the heavenly tribulation, fiercely battling Xuanming.
Despite being at a disadvantage, Ye Fan was often splattered with blood, but it was not a big problem. Instead, he quickly absorbed the essence of Xuanming Baquan and integrated it into Tiandiquan, causing his pair of golden fists to begin to clash with Xuanming's purple fist. In the battle between the saints and the hegemons, he showed a hint of not being at a disadvantage.
It should be noted that Ye Fan has not yet cultivated his physical body to its peak at this moment!
Xuanming noticed this, his face turned ashen, and the murderous aura between his brows intensified.
He knew that this Holy Body Ye Fan could not be allowed to live!
Apart from him and Kungu, no one on the Ancestral Star of the Overlord Body can rival Ye Fan!
"kill!
"!" Xuanming roared, ignoring the fact that the rules of heaven and earth had naturally sensed the impending supreme divine tribulation due to his intrusion into Ye Fan's tribulation—which still needed time to accumulate and for the time being, there was no supreme-level peak disaster to fall—Ye Fan's performance was far beyond Xuanming's expectations. If he didn't eliminate him now, Ye Fan would become too powerful and difficult to stop!
"A life for a life, Ye Fan, you've had enough." Xuan Ming said coldly, his domineering fist slamming down, but unlike the previous times, it didn't break Ye Fan's bones. Instead, it shone with golden light and actually withstood Xuan Ming's pair of purple domineering fists, standing on equal footing.
"Who lives and who dies is still uncertain," Ye Fan said, swallowing billions of lightning bolts into his mouth, forcibly refining them to replenish his energy. Those that he couldn't tame, he simply spat out. The lightning bolts were sharp and shot directly at Xuan Ming's face, but he dodged them.
"Bang bang bang!"
!
The clash between the two powerful figures shook the heavens. Their confrontation under the heavenly tribulation was a scene rarely seen in history. Countless cultivators held their breath, tense and eagerly anticipating the super divine tribulation that would be born at the pinnacle of the universe.
Can it be compared to the Great Emperor's Tribulation?
"However, Ye Fan... at this moment, he has not yet achieved the Great Perfection of the Sacred Body, yet he can directly confront a Great Perfection of the Overlord Body..."
The saints were astonished; Ye Fan's power was terrifying.
However, the faces of the heroes, geniuses, and princes of ancient dynasties were quite unpleasant upon seeing this.
Inside the ancestral cave of the Overlord Ancestral Star, where divine power was contained, another Great Completion Overlord Body, "Kun Gu," partially awakened his consciousness and directly saw through Xuan Ming's plan, sighing.
“Perhaps, it’s not just you, Xuanming…” Kungu muttered to himself.
With his keen eye, he naturally discovered that Ye Fan's growth rate was incredibly fast, and Xuan Ming, who had been preoccupied with the Heavenly Tribulation, was unable to defeat that Holy Body on the spot.
“Having missed the initial opportunity, we can only try to overwhelm Ye Fan head-on. But in a prolonged battle, Xuanming would be no match for Ye Fan,” Kun Gu murmured, and in a moment of thought, he also decided to revive.
"No need! I am enough on my own! The ancestral star still needs an alternative Daoist to oversee it." Xuanming transmitted his thoughts, stopping Kungu's actions.
"If you make a move, you will surely die!"
"In turbulent times, our ancestral planet cannot be without the Great Completion Body!"
Both of them were well aware that the calamity Ye Fan had triggered was still present. With the emergence of Kun Gu, he would inevitably have to plunge into the sea of thunder. At that time, the rules would be aware of it, and he would not be able to escape either.
Even if they killed Ye Fan, Kun Gu and Xuan Ming, with their limited blood energy, wouldn't be able to withstand the prolonged lightning bombardment and wouldn't be able to hold on.
Therefore, Kungu cannot appear. Xuanming is determined to risk his life and beat Ye Fan to death! They will perish together!
"Break!" Ye Fan shouted. His Heavenly Emperor Fist swept through the sea of lightning and fire, directly confronting the purple Overlord Fist. Although blood splattered everywhere, Xuan Ming was not far behind, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and his gaze growing increasingly cold.
"Well, is there anyone interested in emerging into the world?" A supreme being spoke up inside the Primordial Ancient Mine.
"Heh, what are you going out for? Are you looking for death? That tribulation doesn't care who you are. Anyone who dares to go in will face a great calamity! If we were to go and undergo the tribulation in our current state... it would be tantamount to suicide!" The Supreme Being of Burial Sky Island sneered.
"We can go and kill Cao Ya." The Supreme Being of Undying Mountain seemed eager to make a move.
"Go ahead and try! Even if we kill Cao Ya, our energy will be severely depleted—and we must return to the peak of the Emperor Path, otherwise we won't be able to kill Cao Ya!—At that time, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive even after consuming trillions of living beings." The Immortal Tomb Supreme sneered, having made up his mind that unless Cao Ya's strength declined significantly, allowing them to eliminate him without having to go to extremes, he would not be able to emerge and attempt to consume them.
Otherwise, it will simply fall into slumber and wait for tens of thousands of years to come!
Or perhaps it will be the next opening of the Immortal Path!
Most supreme beings share this attitude: unless the opportunity is perfect, they will sit back and watch the tigers fight.
Didn't all the great emperors of the past spend their lives this way? They were used to it!
By severing himself, he not only cut away the Dao Fruit, but also damaged his crystal-clear Dao Heart.
"Those cowards," the Corpse King cursed, his eyes filled with malice. Did he really think Cao Ya would let them go?
The examples of the Carefree Celestial Venerable and the Sea of Reincarnation, staining the starry sky with blood, are not enough to awaken them?
"Damn it, a bunch of cowards, all of them are bastards." The Corpse Emperor was quite dissatisfied and insulted the Venerables.
However, no sound came from above the Big Dipper.
The Corpse King's provocation failed.
"Looks like your wishful thinking isn't quite what you hoped for," Cao Ya said with a smile, not seeming to be in a hurry to make a move.
The Corpse King sneered, "What, you think you've got me cornered?"
"Victory or defeat, life or death, will be decided after the battle," Cao Ya said.
"You killed the Carefree Celestial Venerable, and the Stone Emperor and another Supreme also died directly at your hands—although you had the help of an unorthodox Daoist on these two occasions, even I have to admit that Cao Ya, your prowess is comparable to that of an ancient emperor!" The Corpse Emperor said in a deep voice. Cao Ya's record was quite impressive. Even with the pride of an ancient Supreme who had swept across all realms and was now the sole ruler of all ages, he dared not underestimate Cao Ya and needed to deal with him very seriously.
The Corpse King was a burly man with a thick beard, wielding a divine bow. His arms were strong and his muscles were bulging. He was clearly a very imposing and powerful man, but he gave off a very strange feeling, as if he had been buried for millions of years, with a strong smell of decay.
"If you were to become an Emperor, I'm afraid you would be no less than the Underworld Lord," said the Corpse Emperor. This assessment was one that the Corpse Emperor held in high regard, and he was also quite wary of.
“I came from the underworld, but later I left and entered the Primordial Ancient Mine.”
"The terror of the Underworld Lord is still awe-inspiring even across millions of years."
The Corpse King's eyes were gloomy, revealing his fear. If it weren't for the shadow of the Underworld Lord, which followed him like a shadow and could not be shaken off, he would not have left the Underworld. Instead, he would have continued to study the methods of immortality and ascension to immortality in the Underworld.
"Tens of thousands of years ago, the Tongtian Mingbao was revived..." The Corpse Emperor seemed to have not spoken to outsiders for a long time, and it also seemed that because the underworld had been purged, the secrets in his heart no longer needed to be hidden and could be made public.
“I know,” Cao Ya nodded.
Upon hearing this, the Corpse King was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "Did you play a part in Chuan Ying's killing of the Prison King? Ah, that's right, your aura was initially concealed by Chuan Ying. I should have realized it sooner."
The true identity of the Underworld's "Emperor of the Underworld" is unknown to outsiders, but the Corpse Emperor, as the supreme ruler who escaped from the Underworld, knows it very well.
"In that case, we have even more reason to fight," the Corpse Emperor sighed.
Regardless, he was once a member of the Underworld. His relationship with the Hell King was not bad, though not particularly good. They exchanged many Taoist teachings and studied the legacy left by the Underworld Lord together.
In the eyes of the underworld, the Underworld Emperor, also known as the Underworld Venerable or the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Venerable, is in no way inferior to the Emperor Venerable and is a first-class existence in many eras!
Even ordinary supreme experts would probably fall slightly behind!
Judging from the fear that even powerful beings like the Prison Emperor and the Corpse Emperor, who had once attained enlightenment, had of the Underworld Emperor, they did not believe that the Supreme Emperor was the pinnacle of the universe!
"The path to immortality I await is neither the one of the Big Dipper nor the one of the Ancient Flying Immortal Star... Once I become an immortal, I will definitely find out who the Underworld Lord is and see what kind of person he really is," the Corpse Emperor said coldly.
Cao Ya thought to herself, "If you were to see the Lord of the Underworld, you would probably be speechless with astonishment."
Duan De's personality is a headache for anyone who meets him.
“However, you are destined not to live to see the right time you think you’re in,” Cao Ya said, his hand on the hilt of his sword. The Emperor’s Seal and the Immortal Tear Green Gold Gate hovered around him, constantly dancing.
"Heh." Upon seeing this, the Corpse King merely chuckled.
"My existence is beyond your imagination!" The Corpse King's words revealed a hint of pride.
His origins are extremely strange. He is the second being in this mortal universe to transform from a corpse into a living being and finally reach the pinnacle, proving the path of an emperor—the first being was the Underworld Lord! —This shows the power and unique origins of the Corpse Emperor.
It is said that the Corpse Emperor was dug out from the deepest part of the underworld. It is impossible to verify what era he belonged to. There is an ancient stele standing next to his corpse and grave. Based on the ancient characters on the stele, it is speculated that the Corpse Emperor was a supreme master in the chaotic ancient era.
"I've heard that you cultivated the Chaotic Ancient Method, which allowed you to surpass countless unconventional Dao achievers throughout history, and to rival the flawless Ancient Emperor even before achieving Dao."
The Corpse Emperor scrutinized Cao Ya, his eyes cold and ruthless, and said, "Perfect. After killing you, I can search your soul and obtain the Chaotic Ancient Secret Technique. Perhaps, it will allow me to awaken my past memories, merge the Dao Fruits of my two lives, forcibly break through the Immortal Path, enter the Immortal Realm, and become the number one Immortal in the universe!"
After speaking, the Corpse Emperor drew his bowstring, but did not nock an arrow. Instead, a strange tremor erupted, shattering the void and capable of destroying the soul of any living being, returning it to nothingness.
This method instilled fear in the crowd. Even those millions of light-years away, observing the battle using secret techniques, were still filled with unease and their souls trembled.
Cao Yadu became serious, sensing a sense of crisis as he faced the Corpse King.
"The corpses from the Chaotic Ancient Era... perhaps they belonged to some longevity family or some ancient immortal lineage in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. They were supreme beings who rose to power in that era, but were killed by stronger beings during the great changes in the world, or simply died of old age and did not survive for hundreds of millions of years... They were lucky enough that they were born with intelligence in the new era and became emperors again! Hmm, the ancient emperors rose from the blood path and defeated all their enemies. In terms of combat power, they were generally more powerful than the supreme beings of the Chaotic Ancient Era!"
Cao Ya thought to himself, he didn't know anything about the Corpse Emperor's background.
Although there is another Cao Ya living in the [Perfect World] universe, which is the Chaotic Ancient Era, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, which is now the [Covering the Sky] universe, is such a vast and boundless world that even he, as the Supreme Being, would find it difficult to understand all the mysteries of heaven and earth.
Even a true immortal couldn't do that!
Moreover, the chaotic ancient era was turbulent and involved super realms such as the Immortal Realm and the Otherworld.
The latter produced countless supreme beings, a large number of true immortals, and quite a few immortal kings.
The water is very deep!
Five-star power isn't enough to dominate the battlefield; caution is still necessary.
"Fortunately, in the [Covering the Sky] universe, the five-star initial and intermediate Supreme and Flawless Ultimate Dao realms are enough to awe all directions. If one can advance further and reach the five-star peak of the Mortal Immortal realm, then one will be invincible! In the Chaotic Ancient Era, that would be the pinnacle of True Immortals, worthy of being called a Quasi-Immortal King, or even a Weak Immortal King, with limitless potential. Not to mention the Immortal King realm, even the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm has a high probability of being attained. Only the Immortal Emperor realm is an insurmountable barrier!"
Cao Ya changed his mind, suddenly drew his sword, and slashed at the Corpse King.
"Buzz..."
The Taiyin Emperor Seal trembled, and the Ancient Emperor's Great Path spread, suppressing the Corpse Emperor.
The Immortal Tears Green Gold Gate trembled slightly, as if it stood on the river of time, suppressing heaven and earth, sealing off the Corpse Emperor's ten directions, and gradually shrinking, trying to obliterate him.
With the assistance of these two supreme divine artifacts, Cao Ya's sword energy became even more ferocious, causing even the powerful Corpse Emperor to change color.
"My Dao Fruit, return!" the Corpse Emperor roared, leaping forward in an instant without hesitation, directly undergoing a complete sublimation, transforming from an ordinary Supreme into the flawless Ancient Emperor of yesteryear!
The fate of the Carefree Celestial Venerable is still fresh in everyone's mind. Although the Corpse Emperor is confident in his invincibility, he would never dare to underestimate Cao Ya.
At the same time, the Corpse King formed hand seals, revealing all his insights accumulated over millions of years.
Suddenly, a vast, abyss-like underworld appeared, upon which lay countless corpses, burying more than one era, with ancient Daoist principles lurking within.
With a resounding clang, an ancient mine materialized, pitch black and unfathomably deep, with undulating mountains that seemed to swallow and exhale the cosmic brilliance, its light dazzling, transforming from utter darkness to aurora in a mere instant.
The phantoms of the Netherworld and the Primordial Ancient Mine were created by the Corpse Emperor after years of slumber in the two forbidden zones. He finally gained some understanding and imprinted the Dao marks on them, which can be used to deal with enemies and cause them great distress.
Afterwards, the Corpse Emperor retrieved the divine bow from the void, drew the bowstring, and although there were no arrows, he aimed at Cao Ya. A surge of energy locked onto him, leaving him no way to avoid it.
"Home advantage, huh?" Cao Ya suddenly smiled, and with a whoosh, a celestial river leaped out from the void. Kunpeng roared, thunder spirits howled, accompanied by various laws such as fire, water, and lightning. In an instant, it covered billions of miles of the void, confronting the phantoms of the Netherworld and the Primordial Ancient Mine.
Besides the Eternal Blue Gold Sword, which is in Cao Ya's hands, the Human Emperor Seal and the Immortal Tear Green Gold Gate also follow the Heavenly River, roaming the six directions and sweeping across the eight wastelands.
The Corpse King narrowed his eyes, a fierce glint flashing in them.
"Explode!" the Corpse Emperor roared in his heart, his ruthlessness unparalleled. He immediately detonated the phantoms of the Netherworld and the Primordial Ancient Mine. Under his guidance, the immense power generated by the self-destruction fell into the Milky Way without leaking a single drop, stirring up towering waves. It was as if millions of realms were being created and destroyed, and the laws were collapsing. All the saints who watched were filled with fear and awe.
After the Milky Way was broken, Kunpeng, Lei Ling, and others rushed out, their power canceling out the self-destruction of Daohen, creating a dazzling display of light and flames.
The Immortal Tears Green Gold Gate was completely engulfed by the massive amount of corpse energy spewed out by the Corpse Emperor.
Cao Ya's sword energy was also blocked by the invisible divine arrow shot by the Corpse Emperor.
"Bang!"
The Emperor's Seal shot out and struck the Corpse Emperor hard, causing the emperor's body to shake and several wounds to appear.
"Damn it!" the Corpse Emperor cursed inwardly. Where did Cao Ya get so many supreme imperial weapons?
It's not like divine gold and precious materials, they're as common as roadside weeds!
