The Supreme Being of Abandoned Heaven had combined various remnants of Emperor-level formations into the Spirit Treasure Killing Formation, and with the addition of Emperor-level artifacts such as the Nine Li Diagram and the Western Emperor Pagoda, he was already at a disadvantage.
Upon seeing the arrival of the heroes, he immediately realized that his end had come!
At the same time, the Lord of the Divine Ruins and the Supreme Being of Light and Darkness also had the same realization.
However, they were unwilling to accept their fate!
"We have clung to life for millions of years, how can we die like this today!" The Lord of the Divine Ruins roared, his face contorted with madness.
He had already ascended to a higher level, and his imperial artifact had been shattered. He was now activating the complete laws of the imperial path, striking the Void Emperor and unleashing a secret technique of the imperial path, causing the Void Immortal Mirror to tremble. However, the mirror did not retreat, and it remained firmly locked onto the ancient emperor.
The Void Emperor coughed up blood, his supreme secret technique displaying its power. The Immortal Mirror shone with divine radiance, freezing the void and immobilizing the Lord of the Divine Ruins.
However, the Supreme Being, after his ascension, possessed immense power and broke free from the Void Mirror's restraints. His body was entangled in chains of three thousand laws, and he stood tall beneath the starry sky, displaying extraordinary divine might. Facing the Void Emperor, his thick hair danced in the air, making him resemble an ancient demon god!
"Boom!"
!
At this moment, the combined killing moves of the heroes attacked, with countless sword energies, accompanied by the Celestial Melody of Tribulation Transcending, and a fist with dazzling golden light, shattering the heavens!
"Ah~~~" The Lord of the Divine Ruins roared as the three thousand chains of laws were shattered and exploded. Under the onslaught of numerous powerful killing moves, even he, an ancient emperor, could not withstand them.
Because he was facing beings of the same level!
Even at the very worst, that's still the level of an unconventional enlightened being!
Regardless of what they relied on, they at least temporarily possessed this level of power!
"Bang!"
!
Without a doubt, the Lord of the Divine Ruins was no match for the combined might of the Void Emperor and his imperial artifact, as well as Cao Ya, Gai Jiuyou, Ye Fan, and other powerful figures. Their killing techniques were astonishing, and in less than three moves, the Lord of the Divine Ruins was left bleeding profusely in the starry river, almost split in two. His body swayed unsteadily, and the imperial path contained within his imperial blood began to crumble and dim.
"It's truly...unacceptable! After waiting for millions of years, this is the result!" The Lord of the Divine Ruins hated both the heavens and the heroes.
But in the end, the Void Mirror trembled, and with a "poof," the shattered royal body of the Lord of the Divine Ruins exploded completely. His primordial spirit transformed into the Dao and returned to the world, surging with energy that shocked all the heavens!
This time, the Lord of the Divine Ruins has truly perished, unlike millions of years ago.
With a "whoosh," Cao Ya extracted the last energy contained within the remnant body of the Lord of the Divine Ruins, transforming it into a ball of blood essence that shone brilliantly.
"No need to give it to me!" The Void Emperor shook his head, his face pale.
He summoned back the Immortal Mirror. The ancient mirror, stained with imperial blood, was gradually swallowed up, becoming even more ancient and possessing a mysterious Daoist charm.
After being stained with blood multiple times, the Void Mirror became even more wondrous, showing signs of transforming into a celestial artifact!
Cao Ya also glanced at it sideways.
Gai Jiuyou, Ye Fan, and the others were also surprised and couldn't help but observe and examine them.
"rumble……"
At this moment, the Great Accomplished Holy Body wielded the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist. The invincible fist intent pierced through the heavens and the earth, golden blood energy soared through the sky, and violent fluctuations spread throughout the myriad realms, causing countless cultivators to submit.
His performance was far superior to Ye Fan's.
After all, what Ye Fan fused with was merely the remains of a Great Perfection Sacred Body from the Desolate Ancient Era, which was already depleted of blood and energy and had lost all its life essence.
It was only thanks to the broken green bronze cauldron, as well as the Dao Yan Immortal Robe and the Divine Silkworm Immortal Robe that it was able to survive.
At the same time, the Supreme Emperor Sword, the Immortal Iron Rod, and the Divine Refining Pot fell, joining forces with the Great Perfection Holy Body to assist Emperor Hengyu in a powerful attack on the Light and Dark Supreme.
"Whoosh!"
"!" The Supreme Emperor Sword fell, its attack power unparalleled in the world, like the roar of a great dragon, slashing towards the ancient emperor!
The Supreme Being of Light and Darkness tried his best to dodge and used his tattered Dark Shield to defend himself. However, the Divine Refining Pot opened its mouth, revealing the Divine Pot made of lapis lazuli. With its imperial aura intact, it was naturally able to suppress the Dark Shield of dragon-patterned black gold.
Instantly, the sharp sword light of the Supreme Emperor Sword pierced directly into the body of the Light and Dark Supreme, leaving a deep sword wound that penetrated to the bone marrow!
"ah!
"The Supreme Being of Light and Darkness cried out in pain, his imperial body trembled violently, knocking away the Supreme Emperor Sword and causing the Refining God Pot to shake, unable to suppress the Dark Shield."
But his adversaries were not limited to the Supreme Emperor Sword and the Divine Refining Pot.
The Immortal Iron Cudgel was violent, like a Fighting Saint Emperor, its battle intent astonishing, its blood energy dazzling, soaring straight into the sky.
"Bang!
!
The Supreme Being of Light and Darkness resisted, but was struck by the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist of the Great Accomplished Holy Body. His chest immediately caved in, and bloodstains spread like a spider web, indicating that his situation was extremely bad.
"Beast, you are unworthy of being called emperor!" The Great Accomplished Holy Body roared, his holy fist flying out, fiercely striking the ancient supreme being.
The Immortal Iron Rod, the Supreme Emperor Sword, and the Divine Refining Pot also unleashed their full power, their ancient emperor-like aura surging and their divine might boundless!
But the most crucial one is still Emperor Hengyu.
"Boom!"
!
Emperor Hengyu's body radiated countless strands of immortal light, as if ten thousand stars had exploded within him, and that terrifying power suppressed the nine heavens and ten earths.
The Ancient Emperor, carrying a raging Dao fire, charged forward, covering tens of millions of miles of void in the blink of an eye, and clashed with the Light and Dark Supreme several times.
The Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Furnace spewed forth endless flames, suppressing the broken Dao Tribulation Golden Staff and causing it to wail.
The Refining God Pot also made its move. The two imperial artifacts worked together and shattered the light staff in just a few moves. Hundreds of millions of fragments, wrapped in dazzling golden light, rushed into the edge of the universe!
On the other side, the Dark Shield, which had been killed by the Immortal Iron Rod and the Supreme Emperor Sword, also followed in the footsteps of the Light Staff. The dragon-patterned black gold exploded, and the fragments rippled and drifted into the depths of the starry sky.
In the end, the four imperial artifacts, together with Emperor Hengyu and the Great Accomplished Holy Body, were incredibly violent, launching a fierce attack. Imperial aura permeated the vast heavens and the ages!

Finally, the place erupted in chaos. Emperor Hengyu, wielding the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Furnace, slammed it down fiercely. Flames surged and burned away the body of the Supreme Light and Darkness, causing his primordial spirit to also crumble.
"A million years of anticipation, all in vain!" The Supreme Being of Light and Darkness roared to the sky, his immortal platform cracked open, and he vanished into the Dao.
This time, the Great Accomplished Sacred Body took action, extracting the blood essence life energy from the energy left behind by the Light and Dark Supreme after his death.
At the same time, the Ruthless Great Emperor unleashed a secret technique, sending a burst of immortal light that soared past the Spirit Treasure Killing Array and severely injured the Abandoned Heaven Supreme!
"Boom boom..."
The ancient Celestial Venerable's imperial formation trembled, uniting the remaining formation and imperial artifacts to unleash a final attack!
Instantly, the Nine Li Diagram, the Human Emperor Seal, the Western Emperor Pagoda, the Demon-Subduing Pestle, the Chaotic Ancient Axe, and the four spiritual treasure killing swords unleashed six kinds of imperial laws, working together seamlessly. They were both fierce and gentle, and extremely ferocious!
Finally, under the boundless divine light, the desolate edge of the universe was utterly destroyed. The six imperial artifacts achieved their goal, piercing through the body of the ancient emperor, the Abandoned Heaven Supreme, causing his imperial body to explode and become covered in blood.
"Truly...an unexpected ending! My demise is so tragic." The Supreme Abandoner's lips twitched, but he ultimately failed to show any expression. His eyes darkened, and he began to transform into the Dao.
Imperial artifacts dodge, ancient emperors transform into Daoists—how many dare to approach?
However, the Ruthless Great Emperor, with his divine power sweeping across the body, refined a ball of life energy from the shattered remains of the Abandoned Heaven Supreme.
With the death of the last supreme being—the Abandoned Heaven Supreme—this greatest dark upheaval in history finally came to an end!
Despite the immense casualties, the devastation of many ancient star regions, and the loss of trillions of lives, the crisis was ultimately averted, and the survivors wept with joy.
"It's over! The greatest darkness has finally passed!"
"The great calamity is over, and we are still alive!"
"Ruthless Emperor, Void Emperor, Eternal Emperor..."
Throughout the myriad realms, countless cultivators looked up at the sky and roared, almost shedding tears.
The joy of life filled my entire body, and I trembled with excitement!
Some older sages and great saints were even more devout, wanting to cross the sea of stars and go to the edge of the universe to pay homage to the Ruthless Emperor, the Void Emperor, the Eternal Emperor, as well as the Supreme Cao Ya, the Great Accomplished Holy Body, and the Supreme Gai Jiuyou.
However, that distance was too far, and it would be many years before they arrived.
After the supreme battle, the area was filled with imperial aura, making it impossible for even a Great Sage to activate any kind of teleportation array.
"Waaah... Father, Mother, where are you?"
"Child, please open your eyes and look at your parents again..."
...
But after the joy, a sorrowful atmosphere, unanimously, resounded throughout the world. Countless people wept, and mournful sounds filled the air, with grief permeating the heavens.
With so many billions of lives lost, how could their relatives and friends not be heartbroken?
Everyone was moved to tears!
Moreover, during the fiercest battle, countless quasi-emperors and great saints from all corners of the universe marched to the edge of the universe, hoping to deplete a trace of the Dark Supreme's divine power. Many of these heroes from various star fields and races were buried in the outer regions, and some may even have had their remains destroyed.
His relatives, friends, disciples, and others were also grieving.
"Waaah..."
Throughout the heavens and earth, cries of grief resounded, and the atmosphere was one of mourning.
In the desolate borderlands, surviving quasi-emperors such as Lao Tzu, Shakyamuni, and Ge Hong all sighed.
Cao Ya, Gai Jiuyou, the Great Accomplished Holy Body, Ye Fan, and the others also remained silent for a while.
Even if we win, trillions of innocent people have died during this period. Such a tragic scene would make anyone with a conscience angry and sad.
"Cough cough..." Suddenly, the Void Emperor and the Eternal Universe Emperor coughed violently amidst their sorrow, and their supreme imperial aura began to dissipate and return to nothingness.
“Great Emperor…” Ye Fan stepped forward.
"Our return is a special kind of return; we will eventually have to leave," Emperor Hengyu said calmly, showing no concern for his eventual demise.
"It's a pity that they've been dragged into this," the Void Emperor sighed softly.
“We can save Ji Zi and Jiang Taixu, but what about Huangdi and Shennong…” Cao Ya came over, then fell silent.
The relationship between the Yellow Emperor, Shennong, and the Void Emperor and the Eternal Universe Emperor was extraordinary. When the two emperors passed away, the two ancestors of humankind on Earth also perished, beyond redemption.
"It's alright. From the moment I stepped off Earth, I was mentally prepared. To live to see the Dark Turmoil end and witness the extermination of the Supreme Beings who instigated it is enough to make my life worthwhile!" The Yellow Emperor's voice echoed within the Void Emperor's body.
"It's time to go," Shennong's voice appeared, perfectly calm.
As the words fell, the Void Emperor and the Eternal Universe Emperor surveyed the myriad realms, their expressions a mixture of lingering affection, sorrow, and relief.
Ultimately, the imperial path faded away, and they too perished in an instant, along with Shennong and Huangdi, who were closely connected to them, who also passed away on the spot.
That imperial body was devoid of life; the stench of decay was overwhelming, and no amount of divine magic could save it.
Even if placed in a corpse-raising ground for ten million years, there would be absolutely no possibility of a new spirit being conceived!
Ji Zi and Jiang Taixu were banished by the two emperors before their deaths, freeing them from their corrupt imperial bodies and allowing them to regain their lives, preventing them from perishing together.
The Yellow Emperor and Shennong were the new masters of that imperial body, and they could not get rid of it.
Four heroes perished, their bodies lying strewn about.
"Buzzing..."
The Void Mirror and the Eternal Furnace wailed, emanating immortal mist that enveloped the imperial bodies and burst forth from the edge of the universe, their whereabouts unknown.
"Ancestor!" Jiang Taixu cried out in grief. He was inside the body of an emperor. Neither Emperor Hengyu nor Shennong could devour his will or conceal it. He witnessed the scene just now and knew everything.
"Father!" Ji Zi shed tears. The divine source, sealed for over 100,000 years, was revived and arrived in a new era, both strange and familiar.
With the passing of the Void Emperor, all his former relatives and friends died.
The ancient Ji family of this era was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.
Subsequently, the life energy refined by the Ruthless Great Emperor, Cao Ya, and the Great Accomplished Holy Body saved the heroes, including some who were seriously injured and on the verge of death.
The various imperial artifacts—the Nine Li Diagram, the Western Emperor Pagoda, the Chaotic Ancient Axe, the Supreme Emperor Sword, the Immortal Iron Cudgel, the Demon-Subduing Pestle, the Divine Refining Pot, the Spiritual Treasure Killing Sword, and the array diagrams—trembled slightly, retracted their imperial might, and crossed the starry sea like beams of eternal light, returning to their original places, whether in ancient aristocratic families, ancient holy lands, or among certain heroes and beauties, or even within secret realms and grotto-heavens.
Ye Fan did not continue to fuse with the remains of the Great Perfection Holy Body. He took off the Dao Yan Immortal Robe and left on his own. The Divine Emperor Immortal Robe did the same, returning to the ancestral land of the Divine Silkworm Clan.
However, as a Great Sage, he is invincible throughout the myriad realms except for those at the Emperor level!
The quasi-emperor, having been given the title of "emperor," possesses only a slight, superficial imperial aura.
Therefore, even without the Emperor's Artifact, Ye Fan could still stand fearlessly on the edge of the universe on his own.
Moreover, he still possesses a fragment of a green bronze cauldron, a celestial artifact!
This naturally attracted the attention of one-third of the Green Cauldron, which was under the control of the God Organization.
The green cauldron floated amidst chaotic mist, swaying up and down, observing Ye Fan.
Ye Fan remained unfazed. In any case, the Green Cauldron was destroyed at the end of the mythical era, its fragments scattered throughout the universe, just like the many ancient imperial weapons in this battle.
He found it millions of years later, and it was gathered together into a relatively large piece. This was his good fortune and destiny. Even the divine organization, which claims to be the successor of the ancient Heavenly Court, cannot interfere with such matters.
Given that it took so long, why didn't they collect it themselves?
However, Ye Fan had clearly misunderstood.
"The current Holy Body, in the future, when you become a Quasi-Emperor, we hope we can meet. Don't worry, we have no ill intentions. We can give you one-third of this Green Cauldron! Consider it an investment! The future universe will still undergo dramatic changes! And you... seem to have some connection with the Emperor?" A voice came from inside the Green Cauldron, extending a friendly gesture to Ye Fan.
Subsequently, the Green Cauldron broke through the sky and disappeared into the distance, returning to the headquarters of the God Organization.
Ye Fan was quite surprised to see this.
What is my relationship with the Emperor?
"The people in the Divine Organization wouldn't think I'm the reincarnation of the Emperor, would they?"
Ye Fan muttered to himself, but he didn't believe in the concept of reincarnation at all.
Of course, there is indeed a connection between him and the Emperor, which comes through this green cauldron.
Moreover, Ye Fan had also found the Divine Child, who seemed to have a close connection with the Emperor.
Therefore, it is understandable that the organization misunderstood.
"Fellow Daoists..." The Great Accomplished Saint Body with golden fur looked at the two remains that appeared after Ye Fan separated, his tiger eyes filled with tears.
The nine Great Accomplished Sacred Bodies of the Desolate Ancient Era did not live in the same era, but he lived in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land for hundreds of thousands of years. Although he spent most of his time in slumber, he was not completely unaware of the outside world.
These two holy bodies, which reached their peak in the ancient times, had met several times in the past and had a very pleasant conversation.
Now that we meet again, although it can be considered a different kind of comradeship, after the battle, we cannot share a drink and talk happily; we can only see his corpse.
"The body of Emperor Wushi's father must be taken back and buried in the old underground of Yaochi, to be buried with the Western Queen Mother, so that the couple can be reunited. As for the Holy Cliff..." Ye Fan frowned.
"Then let me take it there and bury it in the desolate ancient forbidden land," the Great Accomplished Holy Body sighed.
Beside him, the Ruthless Great Emperor was shrouded in immortal mist, his face obscured, but his tall, slender figure and aloof, independent air were clearly visible.
She was the new master of the desolate forbidden land. Upon hearing this, she did not speak, indicating that she had no objection.
The Ruthless Great Emperor stroked the Devouring Demon Jar for a moment, then let it go. The lid and the jar separated, each controlled by a cultivator by chance.
She stepped out, traversing countless star fields, and instantly arrived at the Big Dipper.
