"Boom..."
Cao Ya drew his sword, his Daoist intent surging forth, as if a world-shaking divine sword had pierced the heavens and severed all realms. Even the Supreme Being, with a focused gaze, felt the sword's aura terrifying.
Beside him, above Ye Fan's head stood the Cauldron of All Things Mother Qi, and the fist intent of the Six Paths of Reincarnation was equally magnificent, grand and righteous, sweeping across the universe and pressing down on the six supreme beings.
"Hmph!" A supreme being snorted coldly, his Dao principles surging, shattering the approaching sword intent and fist intent.
Opposite them were six supreme beings, of different races and forms, their imperial aura surging and compressing the void, truly unparalleled existences.
"Buzzing!!!"
The clash between the eight supreme beings stirred up a storm, with divine thunder booming and its echoes resounding throughout the myriad realms, momentarily overshadowing even the Immortal Path.
"We were not born to kill the two of you," a supreme being said coldly.
Unlike other supreme beings, this person's body is very blurry. Even those of the same extreme level cannot see it clearly and do not know its true appearance.
It seems he was unwilling to reveal his identity.
But this was undoubtedly in vain. Once the fight was truly started, the imperial power would soar to the heavens, and forbidden spells would be unleashed one after another. Considering the records in ancient history, who could not recognize him?!
"Can you kill me?!" Ye Fan retorted sharply, his domineering aura unmatched. The golden blood energy unique to his Holy Body pierced the heavens, and even with a supreme being right in front of him, he was not at a disadvantage in the slightest.
"My goal, besides ascending to immortality, is also... to suppress and kill the Great Perfection Saint Body!" another Supreme Being from the Primordial Ancient Mine said grimly.
Ye Fan glanced over and understood the reason behind those words, but he was not afraid at all. In fact, he was filled with fighting spirit and longed to fight against the ancient supreme beings!
Cao Ya glanced at the man and saw that he was Wanlonghuang of the Primordial Ancient Mine. His daughter had been revived in this life, but was attacked by Ye Fan and blown to pieces under the starry sky. This was a blood feud, so it was only natural that Wanlonghuang hated Ye Fan.
“However, we must kill him... blood for blood…” Cao Ya lowered his eyes.
The cultivators of the Myriad Dragon Nest regard humans as ants, readily annihilating them with cruel, bloody, and ruthless methods. Those ancient royal families deserve to be wiped out!
Cao Ya has never forgotten that she is a member of the human race.
The Dragon Emperor, who had slumbered in the Primordial Ancient Mine for millions of years, once stirred up a dark upheaval and slaughtered countless lives.
This ancient emperor has stained his hands with the blood of too many innocent lives. Cao Ya is determined to kill him!
In the struggle for imperial supremacy, life or death is not much to say; it's all a matter of personal choice.
How cruel it is to cause the deaths of hundreds of billions or even trillions of innocent lives for one's own selfish desires!
Now, in this forbidden zone, all the supreme beings within it deserve to die!
A few ancient emperors and great emperors, who simply relied on the forbidden zone environment and used slumber to cope with the ravages of time, longing to see the ascension of immortals, such as the Qilin Ancient Emperor and those ancient great emperors, all emerged during the last Beidou Immortal Path and all passed away.
Before they died, they poured all their life's insights and experiences on their path to immortality into the depths of the universe, leaving them for those destined to find them.
However, no dark upheaval was launched.
However, the ruthless Wanlong Emperor, in order to maintain his state, has awakened many times in history, slaughtering the universe and leaving mountains of corpses.
They shouldn't have died, so who should?
"No need for further explanation, my only goal is to become an immortal!" Another supreme being who stepped out from the immortal tomb said indifferently, his aura soaring to the sky, causing the starry river to explode.
The aura unique to powerful emperors emanated from them, making even stars and the vast void seem as fragile as paper. If left uncontrolled, their mere presence alone could shatter this vast star field.
"I'm going to take care of Cao Ya while I'm at it." The Supreme Being from the Divine Ruins sneered. His figure was enormous, as if he had crushed the sun and moon, and he looked down on the mortal world from above.
This supreme being appears to be in human form, but in reality, it is impossible to know what race he belongs to. He has obvious beast characteristics, such as the wings of a Kunpeng, the horns of a wild bull, and the armor of a Qilin, which are combined together to form a strange creature.
“Beast God!” Cao Ya knew who that was. He was one of the ancient emperors, known as the Beast God. He had also reached the pinnacle and looked down on the mortal universe.
“I’ve killed two people like you! And that doesn’t even include the ancient emperors I killed together with Gai Jiuyou and the others.” Cao Ya stroked the hilt of his sword, the profound laws around him flowing, with the Human Emperor’s Seal and the Immortal Tear Green Gold Gate floating within.
Cao Ya remained defiant in the face of the Beast God's hostility, seemingly ready to draw his sword and charge forward at any moment.
"Arrogant! When we were invincible, even your ancestors had to kneel and submit. They didn't even have the right to kiss our toes." A massive white tiger, its size spanning the Milky Way, suddenly spoke with a contemptuous tone, aiming to demoralize Cao Ya.
This was also an emperor, the White Tiger Taoist, whose magical power was immense, and whose body was tempered and refined through countless trials, making him indestructible and eternal.
"Forget those old stories. Now, you only deserve to die by my sword! If you don't believe me, try it. I'll send you to hell to keep the Stone Emperor, the Carefree Celestial Venerable, and the Corpse Emperor company. What are ancient emperors? I'll kill the Primordial Emperor! Arrogant in front of me... Ha, one sword and I'll end you!"
Baihu Daoren was powerful, but Cao Ya was even more powerful!
"What right do you so-called ancient emperors have to compare your achievements to mine? All you do is talk big, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Cao Ya sneered.
The faces of the Beast God and the White Tiger Taoist instantly darkened.
Furthermore, the expressions of Wanlong Emperor and the other three Supreme Beings were not good, turning ashen.
As ancient emperors, they once ruled over all the heavens and myriad realms for tens of thousands of years, revered by all spirits, and invincible under heaven.
When have I ever suffered such humiliation?
Even in the era of the great emperors of antiquity, no one would dare to underestimate them.
However, Cao Ya's achievements are remarkable. While it's possible that the Stone Emperor and other supreme beings had the assistance of others, let's set aside that for now. But Cao Ya single-handedly killed the Carefree Heavenly Venerable and the Corpse Emperor, killing the two Heavenly Venerables and Ancient Emperors who had reached the pinnacle of their power in the outer starry sky!
Such terrifying achievements are rare throughout history. Even the Beast God, the White Tiger Taoist, and the Emperor of Ten Thousand Dragons have never achieved such results. When they tried to mock them, they found themselves at a disadvantage and unable to stand up to their arguments.
"Haha, Supreme Cao Ya, well said! What ancient emperor? He's just a nobody who rose to fame when there were no heroes!" Ye Fan laughed loudly, his words a retort that weakened the Dao hearts of the six Venerables.
He was well aware that, regardless of the era, anyone who attained the Dao and became an emperor was undoubtedly a top-tier expert in the world, capable of conquering the heavens, exploring the netherworlds, and sweeping across the three thousand realms, invincible in every way!
At this moment, they are facing off outside the Flying Immortal Star. On their side, there are only Ye Fan himself and Cao Ya, the Supreme Being, two great supernatural beings, while on the other side there are a total of six Supreme Beings.
With the six Venerables joining forces, who in heaven and on earth can stand against them?
Even if a true immortal were to descend to earth, it wouldn't work!
We must divide and conquer, defeating them one by one!
The flawless supreme beings are all the strongest sovereigns, and their combat power is unparalleled!
Cao Ya and Ye Fan, though not afraid, were still apprehensive, as if facing a formidable enemy. They racked their brains to do everything in their power to weaken their opponent before the fight began.
If one's faith in the Tao is impaired, that would be for the best.
"A mere unorthodox Daoist, yet he dares to spout nonsense here. It's utterly ridiculous!" The Supreme Being from the Immortal Tomb said disdainfully, using his Imperial Dao status to suppress Cao Ya and the other two.
No matter how you look at it, emperors and sovereigns have certainly gone further on the path of enlightenment than those who attain enlightenment through other means.
"I, this unorthodox Daoist, have killed the Primordial Emperor and the Mythical Celestial Venerable. In comparison, your so-called invincibility and so-called strength... hehe, are nothing more than the tallest among the short!" Cao Ya laughed. He used his own achievements to strike at the Six Venerables, which was more representative than the matter of the Dao Fruit.
Because the six deities severed their own ties, their imperial status was no longer complete, containing gaps and cracks.
"Further words are useless. Whether one achieves enlightenment or not is not the key. The ultimate victor is the one who can ascend to immortality and live forever! Throughout history, how many emperors and sovereigns have died, and how many Heavenly Venerables from mythical eras? There are already hundreds!" The Supreme Being who concealed his face and came from Burial Sky Island spoke coldly at the beginning.
"So what if you become an emperor? When your time comes, you'll still die."
"Only by ascending to immortality can one truly win!"
Compared to the Immortal Tomb Supreme, White Tiger Daoist, Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor, Beast God, etc., this Burial Sky Island Supreme has very few emotional fluctuations, almost ruthless, and is single-mindedly devoted to the Immortal Path!
"Fellow Daoist's path to immortality..." Finally, the Supreme Being of Burial Sky Island looked at the sixth Supreme Being who had emerged, his indifferent pupils now showing a hint of inquiry.
The sixth supreme being was none other than a weapon, its celestial light piercing through eternity, accompanied by the cries of phoenixes and divine music.
"Phoenix-winged gilded halberd!" Ye Fan's heart stirred slightly.
The phoenix, comparable to the White Tiger Taoist, vanished and transformed into an ancient imperial divine weapon. Its brilliance was dazzling, and within its dazzling golden light, a blood-red hue was revealed. It contended with a group of great supernatural beings, its imperial might fierce and second to none!
The ancient emperor of Blood Phoenix Mountain actually merged himself into the imperial weapon, replacing the gods, and sought immortality by relying on the special properties of the weapon.
"This path to immortality..." Ye Fan frowned slightly. He observed the condition of the Blood Phoenix Mountain Ancient Emperor, and it didn't seem to be very good.
"My time in a conscious state is running out. The properties of the Immortal Gold Divine Material, after millions of years, will soon replace my consciousness, turning me into a mere weapon, and new gods will be born." Inside the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd, the Ancient Emperor of Blood Phoenix Mountain sighed.
His path to immortality, tested by the long passage of time, ultimately ended in failure.
Upon hearing this, the Beast God, the Dragon Emperor, the White Tiger Daoist, the Immortal Tomb Supreme, and the Burial Sky Island Supreme all fell silent, and the atmosphere became somber.
"Immortality and ascension to immortality are so difficult. Since the age of mythology, has there not been a single successful case?" the Beast God murmured.
"Even the Emperor failed, and the Underworld Emperor did not succeed, let alone us?" Immortal Tomb Supreme shook his head and said.
Although they are all beings of extreme power, there are always some who stand at the very top.
Emperor, Underworld Emperor, as well as Undying Heavenly Emperor, Wushi Great Emperor, and Ruthless Great Emperor, are all of this type.
"After millions of years of waiting, I must traverse this path to immortality and storm into the Immortal Realm!" The White Tiger Daoist was filled with murderous intent. He had abandoned everything for the sake of becoming an immortal, so how could he accept defeat?
“The best opportunity…” Wanlong Emperor, Blood Phoenix Mountain Ancient Emperor, and Burial Sky Island Supreme all gazed at the fully opened Immortal Path, muttering to themselves, reaffirming their stance.
Of course, they are not in a hurry to return to their peak.
The duration is too short. Attacking the Immortal Path is a time-consuming and laborious task. The combined power of the six Venerables should be sufficient for an ordinary cultivator.
At the critical moment, take another leap and try to ascend to immortality!
Undeterred by Cao Ya and Ye Fan's hostility, the six Venerables, even if the Emperor Venerable were to be resurrected, would change their expressions!
Cao Ya was also in no hurry, thinking of using the Immortal Path to deplete the power of the six Venerables.
After all, he and Ye Fan were only two people, and one against three... If they really faced three flawless ancient emperors, their current strength would be no match for them, and they would likely perish.
Even one-on-one is dangerous, let alone one against three!
The beings like Wanlong Emperor and Baihu Daoren are ancient emperors who possess the trump card of ascension, returning to their peak and becoming incomparably powerful!
The terror of those who have attained enlightenment was something that both Cao Ya and Ye Fan took very seriously.
Despite Cao Ya's already formidable achievements, he never underestimated the Ancient Emperor Celestial Venerable.
Disparaging words can also be a tactic to win hearts and minds.
"Six ancient emperors have revived. Cao Ya and Ye Fan are doomed! Those two arrogant and domineering bastards dare to yell at the ancient emperors? Where do they get the nerve! They're practically courting death!"
Many powerful figures from ancient races wore cold smiles, eager to see the two human supreme beings die suddenly.
Then, they bowed and worshipped the six statues, kneeling and kowtowing three times and prostrating nine times.
The remnants of the Dragon Nest, along with the Beast God lineage, the White Tiger lineage, and Blood Phoenix Mountain, were particularly exciting.
They had always believed that their clan's emperor had long since passed away in the forbidden area—sometimes his condition was so poor that even consuming the blood essence of trillions of living beings could not prolong his life.
Unexpectedly, the ancient emperor still exists, his divine might fierce and awe-inspiring, intimidating the nine heavens and ten earths!
Meanwhile, cultivators from the human race, as well as the demon race and other races, all looked worried and somewhat concerned.
With only Ye Fan and Cao Ya, two supreme beings, how could our side possibly stand against the six ancient emperors?
"Don't be afraid, we have the divine weapons of the Ancient Emperor! And some of the supreme artifacts of the Heavenly Venerables and Ancient Emperors!"
The saints spoke, comforting all beings and bringing them faith.
Void Mirror, Eternal Furnace, Western Emperor Tower, Purple Gold Demon-Subduing Pestle, Chaotic Ancient Dao Talisman, Nine Li Diagram, Supreme Emperor Sword, Divine Refining Pot, Daoist Battle Robe, Divine Emperor Battle Robe, Immortal Iron Cudgel, Devouring Heaven Demon Jar, Spiritual Treasure Killing Sword...
A series of ultimate weapons, five or six combined, are enough to rival a flawless ancient emperor!
It can provide tremendous help to Supreme Cao Ya and Supreme Ye Fan!
"The path to immortality has opened wide; perhaps this is also our opportunity."
Other experts within the Quasi-Emperor realm had gleaming eyes, eager to make their move.
They considered themselves to be quasi-emperors at the fifth or sixth level of the Heavenly Realm, or even the eighth or ninth level. They were not far from the Emperor Realm. If they seized the opportunity, they might have a chance to ascend to immortality, step into the Immortal Realm, and escape the mortal world!
Boom!!!
At that moment, the old Flying Immortal Star trembled violently. From the depths of the forest of countless stone tablets, a vast expanse of divine light burst forth. A passage filled with immortal light and laws suddenly appeared, standing there and attracting the attention of countless beings in the universe.
Even the six supreme beings facing off, along with Cao Ya and Ye Fan, couldn't help but look down.
Anything related to "immortals," even if it's just a vague rumor, can attract the exploration of powerful beings at the Emperor Realm, let alone a path that leads directly to the Immortal Realm.
The White Tiger Daoist, the Beast God, and the Myriad Dragon Emperor, having shrunk their massive bodies into humanoid forms, stood alongside the Blood Phoenix Mountain Ancestor, the Immortal Tomb Supreme, and the Burial Sky Island Supreme in their phoenix-winged gilded halberd forms, under the starry sky. Their eyes were deep, their Dao principles faintly discernible, ready to burst forth at any moment, rush into the Flying Immortal Star, and embark on the path to immortality!
"Does this road truly connect to the Immortal Realm?" Ye Fan wondered to himself, recalling the divination performed by the siblings Gu Fei and Gu Lin, and he was not entirely sure.
But he was clear on one point: under no circumstances could he allow those six supreme beings to successfully enter the Immortal Realm!
The Dark Lord will not allow them to ascend to immortality!
Otherwise, the bloodshed of all living beings would be impossible to repay!
"This time is different from last time. I can't just sit idly by." Cao Ya thought to himself. The Beidou Immortal Path was just a blocked road. Of course, he wasn't worried about a supreme being ascending to immortality. But he could keep watching and then fly out to intercept and kill the supreme being in the forbidden zone.
But this immortal path truly leads to the Immortal Realm.
Suddenly, another roar resounded, and a shower of light scattered, creating the Flying Immortal Star that spread across the starry sky. Upon hearing it, all the Venerable Ones felt a sense of comfort in their bodies.
Immediately, the six were invigorated.
"That's... a serpent?!"
Suddenly, the six beings and Ye Fan all narrowed their pupils as they saw the scene below and the trapped being, and were all shocked.
Cao Ya, having learned the intelligence, appeared calm.
However, no one paid attention to him; everyone's attention was drawn to the scene underground.
"roar……"
Amidst the roars, Cao Ya saw a colossal serpent beneath the Immortal Path, larger than any star, its scales gleaming and reflecting a chilling light. If its head and tail were straightened, they could probably pierce through an entire star field. Its length was beyond measure, resembling a world-destroying serpent.
That giant serpent, with its crazed expression and the extreme aura flowing through its body, was clearly an Emperor-level being!
However, it was impaled by chains and suppressed below for millions of years, relying on the special environment of the Immortal Path and remaining dormant until today.
"One of the progenitors of the Kunlun race, the supreme being of the mythical era—Hua She!"
