"The sacrificial text created by the progenitor?" Cao Ya's heart stirred. The mysterious progenitor was at the sacrificial Dao realm.
In the myriad realms, besides the two emperors of the desolate leaf realm, and including the deceased pollen empress, there are only three great sacrificial rites.
He is very close to becoming the Ruthless Great Emperor, but as of now, he is still a little short.
The main reason was the great war in the ancient era. The Ruthless Great Emperor was seriously injured and surrounded by many strange immortal emperors. Although she broke through the encirclement and some strange immortal emperors died at her hands, the Ruthless Great Emperor was also seriously injured and forced to recuperate. This undoubtedly delayed her cultivation and caused her to achieve the Dao of Sacrifice even later!
"But if the chief priest thinks he can suppress the phantom of Emperor Ye by relying on the sacrificial text... heh, he's dreaming!"
Cao Ya couldn't help but smile. Ye Tiandi's true form was a genuine Sacrifice Dao Realm expert. The strange ancestor had been born, and he was no match for him in a one-on-one fight. Only by joining forces could they be matched!
Even though this body is merely a fist imprint, containing only a portion of the Daoist essence, it is no longer at its peak.
However, the sacrificial texts instigated by the chief priest are clearly not comparable to those of the eerie progenitor!
The only concern is that Emperor Ye's power cannot be sustained. After all, the power of fist imprints will eventually run out, especially when fighting against a supreme emperor, the energy loss is even more intense.
The chief priest, standing on the earth to offer sacrifices, already had countless supporters, not to mention that he was the true self, able to unscrupulously use the divine power of the Great Dao to fight against Emperor Ye!
However, Ye Tiandi's phantom was incredibly ferocious, and his fist strikes were so sharp that even the most powerful emperor would be forced to retreat!
"Sacrifice text, appear!" the chief priest roared, his entire body glowing, making the vast sacrificial ground behind him even clearer. Chaotic energy surged, as if it were about to cross the boundless void and descend into the mortal world!
"Buzzing..." Countless strange symbols floated and spun incessantly in the air above the sacrificial site.
"Emperor Ye, formed from the fist imprint, ha! I'll kill you first, then seize the Emperor's corpse, and while I'm at it, drag out that cowardly fellow and let me see who he really is!"
As the sacrificial text appeared, the chief priest adopted an arrogant posture, smiled slightly, as if victory was assured.
Chu Feng muttered to himself, "Even if the fog weren't covering me, you still wouldn't recognize me!"
I'm not some real ancient celestial emperor! I'm just an unknown nobody!
Well, the Lesser Underworld is indeed famous throughout the world, and it's starting to gain some renown in the mortal realm as well... but it certainly won't catch the eye of an emperor...
Behind him, the Pollen Empress remained calm. Her existence predates almost all ancient history. She perished in the very first era, destroyed by the combined forces of the three bizarre progenitors. Any trace of her, any civilization, was annihilated!
Not counting the progenitors, even among the immortal emperors of the strange races, the number who could know that there was once a pollen empress in all the heavens and myriad realms is conservatively estimated to be only a handful!
Although the chief priest has a heavy responsibility to initiate the Great Sacrifice of the Gray Era, allowing one of the strange lineages to dominate the future eras and usher in a glorious age, he can hardly say that he has a complete grasp of the ancient history.
"Emperor Ye is more than capable of dealing with this person. Besides, there's also..." Empress Pollen muttered to herself, showing no urgency whatsoever.
Some marks and traces are not considered a great threat by strange races. They will only send out immortal emperors to erase them when the world is destroyed. If they cannot find them, it doesn't matter if there are still imperial marks left.
Coincidentally, this can help the new era develop and evolve civilization, reach its peak more quickly, and generate knowledge of the imperial path. It can also allow the bizarre harvesting and bloody sacrifices to produce new emperors!
For the strange races, the emergence of one or two Immortal Emperors in an era is perfectly acceptable.
After all, the minimum requirement for being able to help them is to be supreme among all the heavens!
However, we cannot be too lenient. If multiple emperors coexist, the world will perish. If the imperial imprint is not discovered, some of it may be preserved into the new era. But if it is discovered, we should try our best to erase it if possible to resolve the issue.
The herdsmen of the heavens, who consider themselves shepherds, cannot allow their cattle and sheep to grow fat and strong, and should only slaughter them when the time is right, rather than wantonly slaughtering them and ending up with nothing.
Normally, a double-digit number of emperors can easily dominate and bring an era to an end without causing any major upheavals. They can suppress the final calamity and eliminate the resistance of the heavens!
The mysterious progenitor almost never appears in the world, always sitting in the Evil Earth Plateau. Only giants like the Pollen Empress, the Desolate Heaven Emperor, and the Leaf Heaven Emperor can alarm the progenitor, causing multiple people to appear at once and launch a siege!
"Is she about to perform the sacrificial ceremony?" The Pollen Empress glanced at a certain place in the universe and seemed to see a woman dressed in white, wearing a ghost mask, who seemed to be laughing and crying at the same time.
As if she were experiencing the same thing, the Pollen Empress sighed softly, recalling the era in which she rose to power. For countless billions of years, all living beings had been extinct, and apart from her, no one else would remember the people of that time!
"Who?" Chu Feng suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He seemed to have vaguely heard a woman's soft sigh in his ear.
"This senior..." Jiu Liu San, Hei Huang, Duan De, Hua Hua, and all the immortals looked bewildered.
What's wrong with the mysterious man? He suddenly became alert, as if he had discovered a formidable rival of the same level!
The immortals carefully scanned with their divine senses but found nothing. However, they didn't care. At most, they were only immortal kings. How could their perception compare to that of an emperor?
"Since the senior has sensed something, we cannot be careless!"
Only the Black Emperor, gripping the Boundless Bell tightly, became increasingly cautious, determined to protect the immortals, while Jiu Liu San, wielding a wooden spear, assisted him from the side.
Cao Ya seemed to be deep in thought. Was it a strange race, another Immortal Emperor who had awakened and been discovered by Chu Feng, or was it that the existence of the Pollen Empress was intentionally revealed to him?
Cao Ya believes it should be the latter!
Of course, the former is also possible. This can be analyzed from the situation of the Celestial Emperor. However, the presence of the Dark Celestial Emperor is not enough to cause Chu Feng to have such a strong reaction!
"The Pollen Empress, the Leaf Emperor, the Beginningless Emperor, and beyond the mortal realm, there are also Celestial Emperors from the heavens... Only the Ruthless Emperor and the Desolate Emperor haven't appeared yet, right?"
Cao Ya pondered, realizing he had almost forgotten about the Corpse Immortal Emperor. This powerful figure had also followed in the footsteps of the Desolate Heaven Emperor, venturing deep into the Sacrifice Sea, battling the Strange Immortal Emperor, and was currently on his way back!
The sea sacrifice is strange, and even immortal emperors can easily get lost. Fortunately, the corpse immortal emperor left coordinates before leaving, and they were not erased by the dark emperor at the end of the era. But even so, crossing the sea sacrifice and returning to the heavens is by no means an easy task!
"The history of the myriad realms is definitely not limited to just these few Immortal Emperors, but most of them have completely perished, and the eras they belonged to have completely disappeared. All traces of them have been erased over the long years, and people of later generations cannot possibly have any knowledge of them!"
"The only ones we can understand are these few Immortal Emperors."
"And the number of the strange emperors is said to be ten times greater, which is already a gross underestimation!"
Cao Ya felt heavy-hearted. Even if he really hit the jackpot and broke through to the seventh level, becoming a being at the end of the road and enjoying the title of "Immortal Emperor", the ominous final tribulation meant that even an emperor would face great calamity!
"Rumble..." Deep within the chaos of the universe, the sacrificial ground trembled, countless sacrificial inscriptions spun, and a powerful aura rose, traversing all the heavens and myriad realms, seemingly about to destroy the world, which was extremely terrifying!
The power of the Immortal Emperor surpasses all existence; even a wisp of his aura is enough to shake the heavens and earth!
"Today, it is only right to wipe you out, to extinguish any resistance from all realms, and to make you lambs to the slaughter. Why waste your futile resentment? To contribute to the prosperity of our race is already the greatest honor of your lives!"
The high priest was arrogant, his runes surged, and he unleashed supreme power that shattered the chaos, shook the heavens, and even the illusory river of time seemed to be destroyed and returned to eternal silence!
All spirits were shaken. Although they were angry at the words of the high priest, they had to admit how terrifying he was!
"A true emperor..." Black Emperor and Duan De looked solemn. Of all the heroes back then, only the three Heavenly Emperors could deal with this kind of ruthless character!
As for Quasi-Immortal Emperors... they are ultimately "quasi" in the sense that their completeness of the Emperor's Path is incomparable to that of the supreme beings at the end of the path!
What does "the end of the road" mean? In the eyes of countless evolvers, it means reaching the end of the path of cultivation, deserving the title of "Supreme of all heavens" and being hailed as the "Emperor among Immortals"!
"Emperor Ye is even stronger. Even his fist imprint should be able to stop the chief priest!" Cao Ya thought to himself.
As expected, Emperor Ye Tian didn't say a word. Like a god or a demon, he launched a fierce attack. His Emperor Fist was dazzling, and light rain scattered, demonstrating his unique supreme Emperor Dao, which pressed forward!
"Boom boom boom!!!" The boundless fist energy was aimed at both the chief priest and the vast sacrificial ground. The imperial aura was fierce, like a surging tide, sweeping over and almost causing this divine sacrificial ground to explode completely, teetering on the brink of destruction!
"Hmm?" The high priest's expression changed. He was able to hold this important position because he was responsible for guarding the sacrificial site and waiting for the end of the era to perform the grand sacrifice in order to usher in a new gray era!
If the sacrificial site is destroyed, his fault will be grave, and he will be punished by the ancestor!
Left with no other choice, the chief priest had to change direction. Instead of anchoring himself in the myriad realms and breaking through the chaos to descend in his true form, he guarded the area outside the sacrificial ground to neutralize Emperor Ye's fist energy!
However, under Ye Tiandi's fierce and domineering attack, the light of time was splashing everywhere, and the river of time was in chaos. Although the chief priest was strong, he seemed unable to resist. His body cracked open, and his blood splattered on the sacrificial ground!
The chief priest vaguely sensed a chilling aura emanating from the depths of the sacrificial ground, along with low murmurs that echoed in his ears, accompanied by distant beast roars that sent shivers down his spine!
"Oh no!" The chief priest's heart sank. Due to the special nature of the sacrificial ceremony, even the Immortal Emperor could not be too careless, except for the Primordial Ancestor who was fearless.
But what kind of being is the progenitor? How could he possibly spend so much time staying here?
They naturally had to slumber within the cursed land, guarding the ancestral home of the strange race, to prevent the Heavenly Emperor from breaching the plateau and eliminating the strange race's greatest trump card!
For other tasks, only Immortal Emperors or Quasi-Immortal Emperors can be dispatched to handle them.
How could our ancestors possibly do everything themselves?!
The Calamity Land is located in the deepest part of the Sacrifice Sea, where the coordinates are obscure, the chaos is obscured, the myriad paths are unclear, and there are no clear rules or order. Even a powerful being at the level of an Immortal Emperor would find it very difficult to locate!
This is why the supernatural world has regions like the River of Souls and the Four Extremes Floating Land, which monitor the development of all realms and estimate the point of world destruction.
Before the Emperors sent messages to inform the Calamity Land, under normal circumstances, most of the Immortal Emperors in the ancestral land of the plateau were in slumber and could not possibly observe the situation of the myriad realms from across the entire sacrificial sea!
In fact, the mysterious supreme being that intimidated the Celestial Emperor, like the High Priest, was also located in the chaos outside the realm, guarding a unique region, but unlike the High Priest, it was becoming increasingly unknown!
Both of them were awakened by numerous supreme beings, unleashing their unparalleled divine powers and intervening in the heavens!
As for disturbing the big shots of the Calamity Land... since it is not the end of the era, it is not the right time. Even the Immortal Emperor would have some reservations about disturbing them without authorization, fearing the wrath of the Ancestor!
Two beings at the end of the road, and more than ten supreme beings from all heavens, could not suppress the order. A major change occurred, endangering the survival of darkness... It's really hard to say, and even more unpleasant to hear!
Of course, the fact that too many emperors have been born in the myriad realms, and that a prehistoric supreme being has revived, has led to a great crisis. It is only right that the Evil Land be notified to request support and eliminate the hidden dangers!
“Now, it is a similar situation. There are five ruthless characters at the Emperor level, including Emperor Ye, Emperor Wushi, and Luo Tianxian from the heavens. Although none of them are in perfect condition and each has their own shortcomings, they are not normal Immortal Emperors! But there are quite a few of them. It may not be safe for the two of us to deal with them alone.”
The high priest whispered, his eyes gleaming, and he conceived the idea of summoning an emperor of the same rank from the Calamity Land.
The other Immortal Emperor did not refuse, but silently agreed.
But at this moment, Emperor Ye Tian threw another punch, causing the sacrificial ground to tremble. Countless runes collapsed and turned into ashes under the fist's light. The light rain was dazzling, but it made the chief priest heartbroken!
At the same time, the anomalies deep within the sacrificial ground became increasingly apparent after being stimulated. The murmuring roar began to grow louder, like demonic sounds penetrating the brain, profoundly affecting the true spirit of the chief priest, whose head swelled to the size of a bucket.
"Ah!!" Another Emperor's Fist strike shattered the Great Dao, and the High Priest screamed in agony, spitting out a mouthful of blood as his face turned deathly pale!
Witnessing this scene, the evolvers of all realms were greatly excited and couldn't help but roar: "Invincible Emperor Ye!"
Hei Huang, Duan De, Hua Hua, and the others let out even more strange cries, their faces filled with excitement!
"The bizarre Immortal Emperor, in a battle against someone of the same level, couldn't even withstand the Heavenly Emperor's fist imprint!" The immortals shouted, their previous suppression completely dissipating, replaced by a sense of excitement!
This is the supreme Heavenly Emperor, invincible among his peers, and so strange that only a group of people working together can match him!
If more beings at the end of the road emerge in the myriad realms, even if they are still fewer than the strange ones, they will still have the opportunity to push back and flatten the unknown lands of Calamity!
"What a pity, the Emperor Ye in front of us is only a fist imprint, and he is about to disappear due to the depletion of his power." Jiu Liu San said regretfully.
Cao Ya looked over and, sure enough, Ye Tiandi's figure was becoming increasingly illusory. It was obvious that when he seriously injured the chief priest, the magical energy contained in the fist imprint had been greatly depleted!
That's normal, after all, the chief priest is a complete Immortal Emperor, and it's not easy to kill him!
"Huh?" Suddenly, Cao Ya exclaimed in surprise. For some reason, the illusory figure of Emperor Ye Tian suddenly retreated back into the River of Souls and stopped attacking the chief priest.
Before he could even be surprised, the next second, a figure dressed in white, with unparalleled elegance, appeared. On her pretty face, she wore a ghost mask, her expression a mixture of crying and laughing.
"The Ruthless Great Emperor?!"
