“You are the vermin of the universe, harming all living beings,” Cao Ya said.
If the emperors do not ascend to immortality and leave the Immortal Realm Great Rift, then the quasi-emperors will be their primary targets!
The nourishment that a quasi-emperor's flesh, blood, and soul provide to a supreme being surpasses that of billions of ordinary beings!
To be precise, a quasi-emperor, simply by having the title of "emperor," already came into the Supreme Being's sights.
Especially high-ranking Quasi-Emperors above the seventh level of Heaven!
Of course, there's no need to worry too much about ordinary quasi-emperors. The beings within the Big Dipper Forbidden Zone will also weigh the pros and cons. Killing a few quasi-emperors at the third or fifth level and cruelly devouring them is not enough to compensate for the losses they suffered during their birth.
For a Supreme Being in poor condition, any risky actions must be avoided at all costs, or at the very least, one must think twice before acting.
It's either a bumper harvest or a huge loss; there are no middle ground options like minor advantages or minor disadvantages.
They haven't even been born yet on the Big Dipper Immortal Path or the Flying Immortal Star Immortal Path, let alone becoming emperors.
"What do you know? What's a few planets dying for the sake of becoming an immortal? To be able to dedicate themselves to us and become a part of the supreme beings is their greatest honor," the Beast God said coldly.
"Ordinary cultivators, wanting to reach the Emperor Realm... ha, it would be impossible even in ten thousand years! We gave them a shortcut, bestowed upon them the power of the Emperor's Path, and they deserve to be rewarded, it's only fair and reasonable," the Immortal Tomb Supreme said proudly.
Upon hearing this, Cao Ya felt as if he were about to vomit.
Ye Fan glared at him and retorted, "Then why isn't it you who have scattered your cultivation paths, blending into the world to provide a good environment for cultivation for mortals? Listening to your words makes me want to vomit! They've disgusted my ears!"
The Immortal Tomb Supreme scoffed, too lazy to reply.
"Youngster, you dare to be arrogant in front of us with a Great Completion Saint Body?" Emperor Wanlong sneered. "When we were at our peak, weren't we all top-tier experts? A mere Great Completion Saint Body... even a tiger fallen into the plains is not something you, a mere dog, can bully!"
Ye Fan sneered, "A mere worm dares to boast. If you were born in the same era as me, would trash like you even be worthy of proving the Dao?! Allowing you to become a Quasi-Emperor is an act of leniency on my part!"
"Arrogant!"
"The Dragon Emperor was furious. Holding the purple-gold bell, he glared at Ye Fan, his imperial aura intimidating."
Ye Fan's body was filled with golden blood energy, which shattered the pressure from Wanlong Emperor and even pushed back, threatening to seriously injure Wanlong Emperor.
The White Tiger Daoist, the Beast God, and the Immortal Tomb Supreme all snorted coldly, each unleashing their imperial power, which shone brightly in an attempt to intimidate Ye Fan.
Clang!
!
With a sharp, clear sword hum, Cao Ya flicked the Eternal Blue-Gold Sword and said calmly, "So what if you're an ancient emperor? You're just a dead soul under my sword! Your words are useless... If you're going to put on airs like an ancient emperor in front of me, you've picked the wrong person!"
Cao Ya glanced at the emperors, a hint of disdain on his face.
On the blue sword, the bloodstains of supreme beings such as the Stone Emperor, the Carefree Celestial Venerable, and the Corpse Emperor seemed to reappear.
Even the most powerful are nothing more than withered bones beneath the sword.
The faces of the several supreme beings immediately turned ugly. Cao Ya's actions were undoubtedly a contempt for them, trampling the majesty of the ancient emperor and the pride of the heavenly venerable underfoot.
But Cao Ya's record was undeniable and real; even if the emperors didn't want to admit it, they couldn't refute it.
"Don't assume everyone is as weak as the Carefree Celestial Venerable and the Corpse Emperor, who are not like powerful beings of the Imperial Path!" said the Beast God.
Cao Ya said, "In my opinion, none of you are as good as the Carefree Celestial Venerable!"
Although the Supreme Beings that Cao Ya killed were all extremely powerful, if it really came down to a winner, Cao Ya believed that the Free and Unfettered Celestial Venerable put the most pressure on him!
There were far more than nine supreme experts in the mythical era.
However, the most renowned ones that have been passed down through the ages are the Nine Heavenly Venerables!
The name of the Nine Secrets is extremely prestigious, coveted by countless cultivators throughout the heavens.
This also shows that the nine ancient celestial beings were by no means ordinary supreme beings.
Cao Ya's words were not meant to be confrontational or to demoralize the emperors, but rather they reflected his genuine belief.
In Cao Ya's eyes, the Dragon Emperor, the Beast God, the White Tiger Daoist, the Immortal Tomb Supreme, the Blood Phoenix Mountain Ancestor, and the Burial Sky Island Supreme were at most on par with the Stone Emperor and the Corpse Emperor, but slightly inferior to the Carefree Heavenly Venerable.
"You bastard..." The White Tiger Taoist's face turned ashen.
Cao Ya's attitude was completely undisguised and obvious. As an ancient emperor, how could he not see it?
As beings who have reached the pinnacle of the universe, invincible to all, how could they possibly admit that others are superior to them?!
The six glared at Cao Ya, their murderous intent like frost and snow, the air almost freezing, as if the laws of the Immortal Realm were being destroyed and crushed by the Imperial Dao.
"Boom..."
Just then, a deafening roar erupted, and a vast world collapsed, surging with celestial energy, as if one had entered a celestial realm, where the scent of immortality was faintly visible.
Instantly, all six were drawn to the attention of the beings.
"Cao Ya, I'll let you live a little longer," Wanlonghuang said grimly.
"Once we ascend to immortality, we will take your life!" the White Tiger Taoist said coldly.
As soon as the words were spoken, the several supreme beings flew out and entered side by side. None of them wanted to be beaten to the punch, and they all entered that great world at the same time.
“Only trash would dream of becoming an immortal in the Immortal Realm,” Cao Ya said, his voice soft but reaching the ears of several supreme beings.
They seemed not to hear, only the chill in their eyes grew stronger.
Ye Fan laughed heartily, agreeing with Cao Ya's words.
However, with the strange world before them, the emperors were able to suppress all their emotions, including anger and hatred, all for the sake of ascending to immortality.
They've waited millions of years for this day, abandoning everything. How could they possibly accept defeat at the last hurdle?!
Even personal humiliation will be endured.
"A bunch of cowards," Cao Ya sneered, but his expression remained very serious, showing no sign of carelessness.
Such an opponent is almost without any flaws; only by overwhelming them with absolute power and destroying them head-on can victory be achieved!
Any trickery is of little use, because apart from "immortals," they have no other way to exploit. They have already abandoned all worldly riches, power, beauty, treasures, fame, and authority, discarding them like worn-out shoes.
"Fortunately, my strength is basically sufficient," Cao Ya thought to himself.
“As long as they start fighting first—for the chance to become immortals, we will have the opportunity to wipe out all six supreme beings in one fell swoop, greatly weakening the foundation of the forbidden zone,” Ye Fan said, his eyes shining.
Cao Ya nodded and flew into that world as well.
"This is... the Immortal Realm? It doesn't seem like it..." Ye Fan also entered, his brows furrowing slightly.
With towering peaks, surging rivers, vast oceans, and boundless continents, this is not the outer universe, but a place where the sky is round and the earth is square.
At the same time, birds flapped their wings, beasts roared, and snakes, insects, rats, and ants darted through the jungle, forming a dense, vast expanse.
Ye Fan felt the immortal energy surrounding his body. With each breath, boundless vitality would enter his body, but it would quickly disappear and not remain.
"It's not the Immortal Realm..." Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
Cao Ya laughed and said, "Of course it's not the Immortal Realm! But... it's not far away."
As he finished speaking, Cao Ya's expression involuntarily turned serious.
Ye Fan felt the same way. With the Immortal Realm ahead and the battle imminent, he was determined to kill the several Supreme Beings with all his might.
We must not let them ascend to heaven!
The two flew and soon traversed vast territories, crossing hundreds of millions of miles, to reach the deepest part of this world.
There, the six supreme beings had already arrived, all silent, silently calculating what lay beyond this realm.
"I've figured it out... This realm is the prelude to the Immortal Realm!"
"On the verge of collapse!"
The eyes of the six ancient emperors instantly brightened, and their bodies trembled with excitement.
Millions of years have passed, during which the Immortal Path has opened many times. Some supreme beings went out, some returned, and some did not, but no one succeeded.
But they are close to success.
If we take that final step, wouldn't it lead us to the immortal realm we've always dreamed of?!
"Buzz..."
The laws of the Immortal Realm were incomplete, and the energy of heaven and earth surged, forming a portal that connects heaven and earth, suppressing the passage of time, seemingly the only one in the eternal river of the universe.
Tianmen!
"Stepping through the Heavenly Gate, one enters the Immortal Realm!" The emperors were excited and couldn't help but roar to the sky, then burst into laughter.
"Bang!"
"
They unleashed their respective imperial weapons, bombarding the Heavenly Gate. The terrifying power combined was so immense that even the reigning emperor would pale in fear, daring not to confront them directly and forced to dodge.
Even if Cao Ya and Ye Fan joined forces, with their current strength, they still had no chance of successfully taking the hit.
The six ancient emperors are powerful enough to fight against the true immortals who have descended to earth!
Of course, even immortals in the mortal world cannot stop them.
However, not all beings in the True Immortal Realm are as powerful as those in the Mortal World. Only the most supreme Quasi-Immortal Kings within the True Immortal Realm can achieve a level of power comparable to those in the Mortal World.
However, this terrifying power proved ineffective in the face of the Heavenly Gate.
Even though the six ancient emperors did not ascend to higher realms, they were still the most powerful beings in the world.
But even when they joined forces, they couldn't even break down a single door!
"Ha ha!
"!" But the supreme beings, upon seeing this, not only showed no anger, but instead burst into laughter, appearing quite delighted.
Because this aligns with their imagination of the immortal realm!
If the Heavenly Gate collapses at the slightest touch, they will begin to doubt whether the Immortal Realm truly exists.
If they can't even withstand their combined strength, how can they talk about becoming immortals?
If true immortals are so fragile, then their countless millennia of pursuit have become a joke!
Boom!
!
In their excitement, the six supreme beings unleashed a furious attack, bombarding the Heavenly Gate. The gate trembled, but the six beings remained unharmed and unscathed.
That portal, forged from the laws of the immortal realm, appeared to be even more sturdy than the three great immortal artifacts that had been passed down for millennia.
"Is the Heavenly Gate... truly connected to the Immortal Realm?" Ye Fan murmured.
Cao Ya nodded and said softly, "Beyond the Heavenly Gate lies the Immortal Realm! However, passing through the Heavenly Gate does not lead to immortality; it merely takes you to the Immortal Realm."
"Haha, that's enough!" The Blood Phoenix Mountain Ancestor laughed loudly. "I will seek the True Immortal status myself! All I need is the environment of the Immortal Realm, the longevity substances in that world, so that I can live peacefully for millions or tens of millions of years. With such a long time, no matter how difficult it is to reach the True Immortal realm, I can still achieve it!"
This was the same thought held by several supreme beings.
The limitation of lifespan confined them, preventing them from becoming immortals even after reaching the pinnacle of humanity.
They believed that if they had a million years, they would surely be able to break through the path to immortality and attain the true immortal status!
Even a million years is a conservative estimate; perhaps a few hundred thousand years would be more than enough.
To be able to defeat heroes from all corners of the universe in one era and ascend to the pinnacle of the imperial path, one's supreme talent is beyond doubt; each one is a seed of immortality.
No one would doubt that!
“In the chaotic ancient era, becoming a supreme being after twenty or thirty thousand years was considered the mark of a prodigy,” Cao Ya suddenly sighed.
Ye Fan was slightly taken aback. He knew that Supreme Cao Ya would not lie, and having obtained the Chaotic Ancient Inheritance, he must have a deeper understanding of the Chaotic Ancient Era than others.
Therefore, Ye Fan's expression was quite unusual.
"It takes twenty or thirty thousand years to become a Supreme Being..." Ye Fan shook his head. Those so-called "prodigies" would at most be Great Saints or Quasi-Emperors in today's world, let alone Emperors. Even those who achieve Dao through unconventional means would have little chance.
Because after twenty or thirty thousand years, one is already an Emperor-level being, which is a lifetime from birth to death!
If one engages in too many battles, frequently fighting bloody battles in forbidden zones to quell unrest, like the Void Emperor, even including the years before he became an emperor, it would still be far less than 20,000 years!
Even if there were an elixir of immortality!
This also shows the magnanimity of the great emperors of old, which impressed everyone.
How can one attain enlightenment when the body is decaying and the spirit is dull?
Therefore, when one is several thousand years old, one must defeat all the strong, survive the Emperor Tribulation, and become a Great Emperor!
The requirements are several times more difficult! And that's not all!
Because of the imperial rule, there can only be one person who attains it in any given era!
"That's why we yearn to enter the Immortal Realm, where even a pig can live forever!" the Blood Phoenix Mountain Ancestor murmured, his phoenix-winged gilded halberd floating in the immortal energy, as if in water, its divine power boundless.
"Our eternal hope lies ahead..." The Supreme Being of Burial Sky Island spoke in a low voice, yet it contained a burning passion that anyone could sense.
"If you had not fallen from grace, and were still the glorious ancient emperors who fought against forbidden zones and protected all living beings, then I would absolutely not stop you from going to the Immortal Realm, and might even lend you a hand..."
Cao Ya sneered, "But since you've already fallen, your hands are stained with the blood of millions of innocent lives..."
"You want to become an immortal? Keep dreaming!"
"Go to hell!"
Cao Ya roared and swung his sword. Blue light burst forth, carrying an eternal meaning. Countless sword energies appeared out of thin air and pierced towards the six supreme beings from all directions.
"Buzzing..."
The imperial seal detached from Cao Ya's hair and unleashed the unique divine laws of the Taiyin Holy Emperor, attacking the ancient emperor.
The Immortal Tears Green Gold Gate expanded even more violently, reflecting the Heavenly Gate. The River of Time appeared and disappeared, but was suppressed, flowing forward and sweeping over all the Venerables, intending to take away their already dwindling lifespans.
"kill!
"!" Ye Fan roared, unleashing the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron. He formed a fist seal and unleashed the Heavenly Emperor Fist, the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, and various other fist techniques, interspersed with profound arts such as the Fighting Word Secret and the Void Grand Technique. He also forcefully attacked several supreme beings, preventing them from ascending to immortality.
Of course, before making a move, Ye Fan activated the All-Encompassing Secret Technique to amplify his combat power tenfold!
The two were locked in a fierce battle, and even the Supreme Beings, facing each other, felt a jolt in their eyes as they sensed the approaching death.
"Two mere people dare to block our path to immortality?" Daoist Baihu sneered. "I must say, you two are already so arrogant before even becoming emperors. If you were to attain the Dao, wouldn't you be even more arrogant and domineering?"
"Why waste time arguing with them? Just kill them and sacrifice them to the Heavenly Gate! The two supreme beings should be able to provoke the Heavenly Gate and open the passage to the Immortal Realm." The Beast God was impatient, his eyes flashing with cold light.
"boom!"
Without hesitation, the Beast God immediately leaped to his fullest extent, returning to his peak condition.
"Dongdong!"
!
Several more explosions rang out as the Myriad Dragon Emperor, the White Tiger Daoist, the Immortal Tomb Supreme, and the Burial Sky Island Supreme all underwent sublimation, their imperial power at its peak reappearing in the world!
The Blood Phoenix Mountain Ancestor was a bit different. A figure stepped out of the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd, his forehead glowing, and with a tremor of the Immortal Platform, he also completed the final leap.
The progenitor of Blood Phoenix Mountain wielded the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd, its crimson light blazing brightly, exuding imperial aura, making it invincible.
Several supreme beings, looking menacing, also approached Cao Ya and Ye Fan.
Undeterred, the two engaged in their strongest battle. The clash of supreme beings shook the mortal world. Even with a world and a path to immortality blocking their way, countless experts in the vast starry sky outside could still sense the collision of these supreme laws.
Immediately, they felt regret that they could not witness it with their own eyes, which was the greatest regret of their lives!
Even the Supreme Being of the Big Dipper cannot extend his divine sense into the depths of the Immortal Path; he can only sense the laws and deduce the conditions along the way.
They were unaware of the existence of the Heavenly Gate, and there was truly a chance for them to enter the Immortal Realm in this world!
The six supreme beings were worried about the limited number of slots and did not want other ancient emperors to compete for them.
Cao Ya and Ye Fan were already under immense pressure. If two more ancient emperors were added, they would likely perish with resentment in no time.
"The opportunity... has arrived..."
On a star near Huosang Star, the old Golden Crow suddenly stood up, unable to contain his excitement, blood rushing to his face.
