The Golden Crow Emperor understood that he had no choice but to agree and go down the same path as Cao Ya and Ye Fan.
Of course, it was also the time when the Golden Crow Emperor first attained enlightenment. He had not yet experienced the torment of physical decay and dimming of his divine soul fire. He still had the ambition and aspirations of the great emperor of his time, and wanted to emulate the great emperors of the past and confront the forbidden zone.
"Brother Jinwu, what do you think?" Cao Ya asked with a smile.
The Golden Crow Emperor pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Very well! As the Great Emperor, how could I possibly lag behind in such a monumental feat that will be remembered in history?"
Before he could finish speaking, all three of them burst into laughter.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Gate began to close. After countless wrong times and places, the correct path to immortality was finally found, but in the end, none of them entered the Immortal Realm. The six ancient emperors who had emerged from the world fell at the last step.
“Perhaps, only those who have not become emperors and whose path to enlightenment has not reached its peak can enter without being altered,” said the Golden Crow Emperor.
Ye Fan shook his head and said, "But if you don't follow the right path, how can you overcome all these obstacles to get here?"
The Golden Crow Emperor couldn't help but smile wryly; that was indeed the truth.
Looking back now, the so-called path to immortality seems like a huge scam.
"They can only become immortals in the mortal realm. If they succeed, they will be considered powerful and formidable figures in the immortal path, far surpassing ordinary true immortals," Cao Ya said.
"A celestial being ascending to immortality in the mortal world?" Emperor Golden Crow pondered.
Even now, he is still full of lofty ambitions. He first lived a second life, and then powerfully proved himself to become a great emperor of the demon race. The boost to his confidence is indescribable.
The Golden Crow Emperor thought to himself, no matter how difficult it is to ascend to immortality in the mortal world, he was not entirely without confidence.
"Buzzing..."
Suddenly, the Immortal Path shook, and this great world, including the entire Immortal Realm Great Rift, trembled, showing signs of collapse.
The three knew it was time for them to leave.
Then, they flew away and returned to the mortal universe.
Meanwhile, the myriad realms were already in an uproar. The auras of the six ancient emperors had vanished, and people initially speculated that they might have become immortals, but then they thought it was unlikely. How could Supreme Cao Ya and the others sit idly by and watch a supreme being ascend to immortality?!
Therefore, when Cao Ya and his group appeared and announced the death of the six ancient emperors of the universe, countless beings cheered and rejoiced, and the myriad realms instantly became a sea of joy.
Everyone loathed the Dark Lord from the bottom of their hearts.
Only a portion of the ancient royal family and their followers were devastated, as if the sky had fallen.
"Huh, three supreme beings, what are they doing here..."
Suddenly, people were shocked to see that the three supreme beings of the world had actually left the ruins of the old Flying Immortal Star after breaking away from the Immortal Path, tore through the void, and forcibly arrived at the ancient Big Dipper Star.
With two loud booms, the massive crack, which appeared to be tens of millions of miles wide on the outside and even more expansive inside, collapsed and dissipated into the starry sky, leaving only a trace of celestial energy to escape and merge into the sea of stars.
But the quantity was too small to be of any use.
"Could it be that the three supreme beings intend to completely annihilate the forbidden area in one fell swoop?" Everyone held their breath.
Above the Big Dipper, besides the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, there are five other forbidden zones: the Primordial Ancient Mine, Burial Sky Island, Immortal Tomb, Divine Ruins, and Undying Mountain. Each of these zones is filled with the cold gaze of an ancient emperor, sweeping over Cao Ya and his companions with malice.
"Three enlightened beings alone, and they think they can pacify the forbidden zone... Ha, what a pipe dream!"
"This is actually our opportunity. If we kill Cao Ya and the others, we can extract blood essence and extend our lives by another million years! By remaining in slumber, we can wait for several more eras."
The ancient emperor spoke, his voice cold.
However, not every ancient emperor held this attitude.
For example, the supreme beings of the Primordial Ancient Mine and Burial Sky Island are quite calm.
Within these two forbidden zones, there are still many ancient emperors who are not afraid of Cao Ya and his two companions, nor worried that they will flatten the Land of Slumber.
Moreover, they are all in pretty good condition and there is no need for them to be born.
Based on past experience, as long as we survive for 20,000 to 30,000 years and outlive these three people, everything will be fine.
So why risk your life to fight them to the death?
However, the situation is extremely tense in the Immortal Mausoleum and the Divine Ruins, as there are very few ancient emperors left in these two forbidden areas.
However, there was absolutely no movement at Mount Undying.
"What was bound to happen has finally happened." In the Undying Mountain, an old man sighed softly. He was so old and frail that one might not even be sure that there was a person there if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.
However, this does not mean that the old man's skills are so profound that he has surpassed the level of an emperor.
He is nearing the end of his life and will soon pass away.
No action is needed; the old man will naturally pass away in a while.
He no longer possessed much of his former divine power, retaining only some of the instincts of an Emperor-level being.
The vast Undying Mountain was once awe-inspiring throughout the world, inspiring fear in many ancient emperors, whose blood stained the sky.
Now, there is only a dying old man left.
"The Reincarnation Sea has been removed from the list for nearly a thousand years, and now it's the Undying Mountain's turn. I'm afraid the Immortal Tomb and the Divine Ruins won't escape it either." The old man shook his head, also not optimistic about the Primordial Ancient Mine and Burial Island.
The sacrifices of emperors and countless sages throughout history have paved the way for future generations. As long as future generations do not forget their original aspirations, the pacification of this forbidden land will be inevitable.
"boom!
!
Cao Ya descended and entered the Undying Mountain. Like an ancient emperor, his great power shook the mountain, causing the servants of ancient supreme beings such as Great Saints and Quasi-Emperors to tremble and kneel in worship.
When some supreme beings enter forbidden areas, they seal their descendants and followers within their divine source and place them in a certain location within the forbidden area.
This is also the origin of the term "forbidden zone".
Nine out of ten of these kinds of people are utterly wicked and despicable.
As for the servants, they aided and abetted the evildoer, their hands stained with blood.
"Bang!"
!
With a flicker of sword intent, Cao Ya wiped them out on the spot, leaving none alive.
"Sigh, I told you long ago, you can't go too far in anything." The old man sighed, put away the few pieces of immortal gold from the Undying Mountain, took them out from the Chaos Cave, and found that they already had consciousness developing. Perhaps in a few hundred thousand years, they would be able to take human form.
Cao Ya let the old man go, allowing him to leave with the immortal gold.
He didn't sense any bloodlust on this person, indicating that the old man hadn't initiated any dark upheavals.
Moreover, the old man was nearing the end of his life and was already dying, so what harm was there in letting him go?
As for immortal gold...
Since he was already nurturing intelligence, why did he cruelly sever this glimmer of hope?
"That Immortal Tears Green Gold later seemed to actually become a living being, taking on a physical form and attaining the Dao to become an emperor."
Cao Ya shook his head secretly.
As a celestial metal, it should have existed forever, eternally immortal. However, it developed sentience and thus has a limited lifespan. After one lifetime, it will pass away and return to its original celestial metal essence.
However, there is also a possibility that one might live several lifetimes in the mortal world and directly become an immortal.
"The mortal world is so beautiful, it's just a pity I can no longer see it." The old man said regretfully, taking the immortal gold and the Xuanwu immortal medicine with him, he turned into a faint light and disappeared directly into the Big Dipper, his whereabouts unknown.
Cao Ya withdrew his gaze and stared at the Undying Mountain. Like the Sea of Reincarnation, this mountain had the miraculous effect of helping ancient emperors prolong their lives, and naturally contained extremely magical Daoist charm.
Of course, taking over the Undying Mountain was not Cao Ya's primary goal.
Because Ye Fan and the Golden Crow Emperor had already arrived at the Immortal Mausoleum and the Divine Ruins, one after the other.
“Young man, you are too arrogant.” An aged female voice echoed from within the Immortal Tomb; it was none other than an ancient female emperor.
Ye Fan, his blood and qi flowing like a vast ocean, his black hair like a waterfall, stood outside the Immortal Mausoleum, gazing at this ancient forbidden zone with a cold expression.
Xianling, as its name suggests, is filled with huge tombs, piled with yellow earth, seemingly burying many eras.
"Today, Immortal Mausoleum will be removed from the list!" Ye Fan said resolutely, revealing his unwavering will.
"Young man, you are truly ignorant of your own limitations. When I ruled the world, your ancestors were still nowhere to be found," the Supreme Being within the Immortal Tomb sneered.
"boom!"
Suddenly a large tomb split open. Although it was an ancient tomb, there was a mist of immortals floating around it, truly deserving of the name "Immortal Tomb," as if an ancient immortal had indeed been buried there.
By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books right now is huanyuanapp. Install the latest version.
"Buzz..." A dazzling beam of light pierced the sky, piercing through the Big Dipper and straight into the sea of stars. This was a typical phenomenon of a supreme being being born.
An old woman with strange, ancient attire and sparse white hair stepped out of the ancient tomb and stood in the Immortal Mausoleum. With each breath she took, she seemed to resonate with the entire forbidden area, receiving a kind of blessing. Her magical power surged, and she confronted Ye Fan.
"It's... the Immortal Granny! What a surprise, she's still alive and well, she didn't die in the long river of history." On Burial Sky Island, a Supreme Being sighed with emotion.
Each forbidden zone doesn't really know much about the other's situation, and they don't fully understand which supreme beings are sleeping on the other side.
"The Immortal Mother became an emperor in the early Primordial Era, a proud woman of her generation, invincible throughout heaven and earth, and the sole ruler of the universe!"
Ye Fan knew the old woman's identity but remained unmoved.
In fact, which of these ancient supreme beings did not have a illustrious past?
They all once reigned supreme, dominating the ages!
But in the end, they all fell into depravity, slaughtering countless lives and betraying the principles they upheld in their first life.
At this time, Cao Ya left the Undying Mountain and went to the Divine Ruins.
"There is only one Supreme Being in the Immortal Mausoleum, and I can handle him," Ye Fan said. His fists had killed a Great Completion Overlord Body and also blasted away an Immortal Mausoleum Supreme Being.
Now, the last ancient emperor of the Immortal Mausoleum has also been killed by him, yet it was a "good beginning and a good end".
However, when the Immortal Granny heard this, her face darkened. Ye Fan's actions clearly showed that he looked down on her.
"Don't think you're so great! If you want to fight me, wait until you attain enlightenment," the Immortal Granny said coldly.
"Stop talking nonsense." Ye Fan directly smashed the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron into it, instantly shattering hundreds of graves.
The Immortal Granny raised her hand, blocking the Cauldron of All Things Mother Qi and knocking it back.
"A battle on the edge of the universe!" Ye Fan shouted.
The Immortal Granny frowned, flew out of the Immortal Mausoleum, left the Big Dipper, and went to the desolate borderlands.
If the battlefield were set in the Big Dipper constellation, and this ancient star were destroyed, the supreme beings of the other forbidden zones would be enraged and might join forces to surround and kill her, using her life energy to enrich themselves.
That would mean there's absolutely no chance.
In a one-on-one fight against Ye Fan, the Immortal Granny was confident that she would not lose!
"I am the invincible empress of the early Primordial Era!"
******
After Cao Ya dealt with the Undying Mountain, he went to the Divine Ruins to reunite with the Golden Crow Emperor.
The Supreme Being of the Divine Ruins is one more than that of the Immortal Tomb. It is still dangerous for the Golden Crow Emperor to rely on alone. If the two of them work together, they are confident that they can pacify it.
"Do you really want to wipe them all out?" A loud shout rang out, and the Divine Ruins rumbled, filled with supreme aura.
“What do you mean by exterminating them all? When you slaughtered the heavens, you should have thought this day would come! If we don’t kill you, how will the countless innocent lives that died tragically find peace?” Cao Ya said coldly.
"You two, let's go to the edge of the universe for a battle. Saying more is useless. Let's see who's the best," the Golden Crow Emperor said calmly.
Within the Divine Ruins, rosy clouds drifted and countless auspicious rays shone. A middle-aged man stepped out, a beam of light shooting from between his brows, his divine light illuminating the universe.
"Spirit God!"
“The Spirit God, formerly known as the Spirit Emperor, is also a Holy Spirit. Although it did not attain enlightenment as a stone man, it is a manifestation of innate essence that gave rise to flesh and blood. Its origins are extraordinary enough.”
After the Spirit God, the second Supreme Being of the Divine Ruins was born. His eyes shone with cold light, piercing through the void, and he left the Big Dipper directly.
"Then let's fight!"
Several powerful beings went to the desolate edge of the universe, to a place billions of light-years away where they waged a great battle. The imperial path was boiling, and immortal light filled the air. The entire universe seemed to be shaken, and various laws were in chaos, leaving billions of cultivators in awe.
"After the Sea of Reincarnation was pacified, the Undying Mountain was also destroyed."
"If we can win this battle, the Divine Ruins and the Immortal Tomb will also be erased from the list."
"At that time, the only remaining restricted areas for causing trouble will be the Primordial Ancient Mine and Burial Sky Island."
"Perhaps, in our lifetime, it is truly possible to completely eradicate all the forbidden zones of life!"
"Future generations will no longer need to fear the darkness and turmoil."
When people get excited, thinking that the cosmic termites will actually be solved one day, they feel it's unreal, very surreal.
Meanwhile, in the desolate borderlands, Ye Fan battled against the Immortal Granny, the Golden Crow Emperor fought against the second Divine Ruins Supreme, and Cao Ya engaged in a fierce battle with the Spirit God.
All three battlefields were devoid of any probing; the battles immediately turned into the strongest duels, with the three supreme beings unleashing their full power, their imperial aura surging and suppressing the heavens.
However, Cao Ya and his group were fearless. Their Dao soldiers attacked horizontally, and their secret techniques were mysterious and powerful. They were also top-tier experts capable of killing even supreme beings.
"Cao Ya, you are powerful, but you are not qualified to kill me! Even if the Undying Emperor were alive, you would not be able to kill me!" the Spirit God shouted. He had been in seclusion in the Divine Ruins and had been sleeping all this time, but he showed no signs of old age. His blood energy was overwhelming, and he seemed to be the supreme being of the world.
But Cao Ya's eyes shone with a spiritual light, and he could see clearly that the body of the spirit god was actually old and decrepit, the soul withered, and even the Great Dao originally had flaws. It was only after the ultimate sublimation that the loopholes were filled and it became perfect for a short time.
Clang!
Without saying a word, Cao Ya raised his hand and slashed out with his sword, unleashing boundless sword light.
The Emperor's Seal followed closely behind, attacking the Spirit God from the side.
The Immortal Tears Green Gold Gate, on the other hand, suppressed the void, restricting the movements of the spirit god, and its power of time spread, attempting to take away the spirit god's already dwindling lifespan.
"Slash!" The spirit god raised his eyebrows, his eyes cold as blades. With a flash, he avoided the Emperor's Seal and used his divine sense to shatter the power of time.
At the same time, the spirit opened his right hand, and a divine blade suddenly appeared, its sharp aura piercing through the sky, slashing down towards Cao Ya!
"What a divine blade!" Cao Ya exclaimed. That blade was forged by a spirit god and imbued with his will; it could break through anything.
Moreover, various strange phenomena appeared, causing people to be wary.
"However, my methods don't go that far."
