"Is it the Great Emperor Wushi?"
Cao Ya pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
The being that confronted the Immortal Emperor deep within the eye of the ancient star, Yinghuo, should not be the Great Emperor Wushi!
At least not right now!
There was no other way; the Great Emperor Wushi had a limited lifespan. After becoming emperor, although he was invincible throughout heaven and earth and led the human race to an almost unprecedented height, when his lifespan came to an end, the Great Emperor Wushi, who had not yet completed his journey to immortality, also had to find a way to prolong his life.
Different yakuza groups have their own different choices in response.
For example, the Heavenly Venerable of Tribulation Crossing constantly reincarnates, condensing the Reincarnation Seal within his body to seek the true fruit of immortality. The Heavenly Venerable of Tribulation Crossing in this life is Duan De.
Take, for example, the Emperor. After his first life ended, he was reborn into a second life and forcibly became an immortal in the mortal world!
The Immortal Emperor prolongs his life by relying on the blood of ancient emperors and great emperors. In his later years, as long as he is conscious, he will quietly emerge, wielding the Immortal Heavenly Blade, to assassinate the ancient emperors or great emperors of his time, bathing in their blood to extend his lifespan. This method of prolonging life is the most cruel and bloody.
The Ruthless Great Emperor, however, entered the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and separated his Dao Fruit, making his state the most unique.
The Great Emperor Wushi was very strong; in a single lifetime, he came infinitely close to becoming a mortal immortal.
However, achieving immortality is not something that can be done easily.
The Immortal Emperor has been bathed in the blood of countless emperors and kings. Relying on its racial characteristics, it can also enter a state of Nirvana and sleep to avoid the ravages of time, living for millions of years and occasionally emerging into the world.
However, the Great Emperor Wushi could not choose to assassinate the old emperor—that would not conform to his ideals—nor did he possess the racial characteristics of the Immortal Phoenix and thus could not undergo Nirvana. In the end, he had no choice but to break the world's blockade and enter another world to seek the substance for immortality.
Emperor Wushi was the last emperor of the ancient era. The day he attained enlightenment was more than 100,000 years ago, which is long enough.
It is obvious that after confronting the Undying Emperor for many years, the Great Emperor Wushi saw the Emperor enter Nirvana and realized that his own lifespan was also coming to an end. Under the pressure of his lifespan, he had no choice but to go to the interstitial world between this universe and the Immortal Realm, rely on longevity substances to prolong his life, and seek the path of immortality in the mortal world.
Since the Immortal Emperor is in Nirvana, there is no need to worry about him causing trouble in the universe in the short term.
Otherwise, the Great Emperor Wushi would not have left!
At most, we'll perish together, taking the immortal emperor with us on our journey!
The determination of a human emperor is beyond doubt.
"Therefore, the Great Emperor Wushi went to the rift world and the Undying Emperor was in Nirvana. Although he would not attack actively, nor could he step out of the Eye of Mars to wreak havoc on the star sea, but... for safety's sake, someone had to monitor the Undying Emperor."
Cao Ya frowned, unsure of who was currently confronting the Immortal Emperor.
He hesitated, wondering whether he should choose to go in.
If the Immortal Emperor is awakened, his weak arms and legs might not be able to withstand a single blow from the Immortal Emperor!
Before beings like the Ruthless Great Emperor, the Beginningless Great Emperor, and the Undying Heavenly Emperor, who were infinitely close to the realm of the Mortal Immortal, even the current Great Emperor was not enough to contend with him, let alone his combat strength, which was only at the level of a Daoist!
This is only because they haven't finished walking the path to immortality in the mortal world; otherwise, even the current emperor would be defeated in one move!
The path to immortality in the mortal world is far more difficult than the path to true immortality in the vast universe of "Perfect World".
Even someone as talented as the Ruthless Great Emperor or as gifted as the Beginningless Great Emperor would need at least hundreds of thousands of years to have any hope of reaching the end of the mortal immortal path.
Even an emperor cannot achieve greatness in a single lifetime.
For beings like the Immortal Emperor and the Tribulation-Transcending Celestial Venerable, millions of years are required.
Even if Ye Fan were to become an immortal in the mortal world hundreds of thousands of years later.
None of the immortals in the mortal world of the [Covering the Sky] universe are simple.
Even though many of them have not yet attained the status of a mortal immortal!
Yet it surpasses even the Supreme Emperor, the Primordial Emperor, and the Mythical Celestial Venerable!
For this reason, Cao Ya was very cautious, fearing that he might provoke the Immortal Emperor and die instantly.
It should be noted that he once attacked the ancient races, targeting the Heavenly Emperor's son and the Eight Divine Generals. If the Undying Heavenly Emperor were to revive and become aware of this...
Cao Ya thought to himself, with his current power, even the Undying Emperor couldn't withstand a single strike!
"Should we just leave?" Cao Ya hesitated.
From a threat perspective, he should have left immediately, sealed the cave entrance, and pretended he had never been there.
However, from a conscience's point of view, he felt that he couldn't just walk away.
The existence of the Immortal Emperor is a great threat!
Only after the accumulation of dozens of ancient emperors did the human race of today emerge, dominating the universe and roaring proudly across the starry sky.
How could he bear to see humanity return to the miserable state of having only enough food to eat in ancient times?
The Immortal Emperor's attitude towards the human race can be seen from the behavior of his son.
"Let's go in and take a look..." After hesitating for a long time, Cao Ya gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
However, he had prepared some backup plans beforehand.
"Hey, if something goes wrong inside the sea eye, the backup plan will be activated immediately, which will alarm the Earth. Lao Tzu, Shakyamuni, the Yellow Emperor, and Shennong are all here. With their help, perhaps we can stop the Undying Emperor? The Great Emperor Wushi won't just stand by and watch, will he? The Wushi Bell flies over, and the Great Emperor Wushi attacks from a distance to fight the Undying Emperor. I take the opportunity to run away. I may be seriously injured, but I shouldn't die on the spot."
Cao Ya exhaled, composed himself, and then entered the cave entrance, heading straight into the depths of the underground.
Along the way, he heard chanting echoing through the underground world, giving him a chilling feeling.
At the same time, Cao Ya also saw a ship full of ghost monks, all of whom were dead. The so-called chanting was actually emitted automatically by the ship. The ghost monks on the ship had been dead for countless years.
Cao Ya glanced at it, ignored it, and continued to venture deeper into the sea eye.
After passing through that cave, he arrived in another world.
The underground world is far more vast than the ancient planet Mars!
This place is a world of its own, dependent on the human universe, yet relatively independent.
Finally, he arrived at the endless ocean of the underworld, only to find it as black as ink, vast and boundless, with no end in sight.
This place is lifeless and devoid of any vitality. There are no fish in the sea, nor any demons. It is a dead sea, as silent as the dead star Mars.
The scene was very strange, but Cao Ya remained calm and showed no fear.
As long as the Immortal Emperor does not awaken, he has nothing to fear in the underground world of the ancient planet Yinghuo.
"Although we are confident and have a good understanding of this place, we must be cautious for safety reasons!"
Cao Ya crossed the Dead Sea and saw the corpses of some powerful creatures, such as star beasts that feed on star cores. Their corpses were tens of thousands of miles long, like ancient divine mountains. These creatures, once they reach adulthood, are at the quasi-emperor level and are an extremely powerful race in the universe. If it weren't for their small population, star beasts would surely dominate the universe!
But even this quasi-emperor level star beast died.
There isn't even a tombstone!
