Boom!
The Netherworld shattered, and the war corpses fell. An ancient and terrifying figure suddenly awoke, standing on the Netherworld, its body flowing with dark light. A set of black armor enveloped it, making it incredibly mysterious, and no one knew its appearance.
"Underworld Emperor, you old bastard! You betrayed the ancient Heavenly Court back then, manipulated the Heavenly Underworld Treasure, attacked and killed the Emperor, and ruined the grand plan of the entire sect to ascend to immortality. You are truly the greatest sinner in history!" Chuan Ying's hair flew wildly, his eyes were captivating, and he appeared extremely angry.
His revelation of the secrets of the end of the mythical era also shocked heroes from all directions.
Those who were familiar with the past, such as the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone, remained calm.
“The Prison King!” Cao Ya’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The figure above the underworld, enveloped in dark light, was silent, exuding only a cold and ruthless aura that shook the heavens and the earth.
He knew who it was; it was not the Underworld Emperor, but the Prison Suppressor Emperor, an ancient deity from the mythological era who had attained enlightenment and dominated an era before falling into the underworld to research the method of immortality.
However, the Nether Iron Battle Armor covered the Prison Emperor, and the Imperial Laws entwined it, isolating him from divine sense. Before the Prison Emperor revealed himself, only Cao Ya knew his identity.
Everyone else, including Chuan Ying, believed that it was the Underworld Emperor!
In the past, it was the Emperor of the Underworld who, wielding the Underworld Emperor's magical artifact—the Heaven-Reaching Underworld Treasure—stood in the Netherworld and attacked the Emperor. However, due to the artifact's ominous reputation, everyone else misunderstood.
The Underworld Emperor, also known as the Underworld Venerable, was the Heavenly Venerable who had undergone tribulation in his first life. He once took the Emperor Venerable as his disciple and taught him with great care.
Before the Emperor's conspiracy is exposed, given the Emperor of the Underworld's nature, he would not kill his own disciple!
In fact, the Underworld Emperor has not passed away. His cultivation is profound and his achievements are comparable to those of creation. He is still reincarnating in the world. In this life, he is Duan De, who is probably in some corner of a star field, observing the heavens and the earth, commenting on feng shui, and searching for a great tomb.
"The Underworld Emperor is really unlucky; he's taken the blame for the Prison Suppressor Emperor!" Cao Ya thought to himself.
He opened his eyes and saw that in the Netherworld, the Prison King was silent. In addition to wearing a divine iron battle armor, he held a battle halberd in his right hand, which he propped up on the ground, while his left hand held a black and gold divine shield with dragon patterns, which also emitted a dark light and had a faint black dragon roaring.
"You old beast, I'm going to kill you!" At this moment, Chuanying shouted, carrying a stone club, and charged into the underworld.
The Prison King looked up, his eyes extremely cold, seemingly devoid of any emotion, and utterly cruel.
"when!
The arrow arrived before it was shot, stretching across the sky, its tail flames extending for millions of miles, displaying boundless divine power and stirring the soul.
Chuan Ying held the bow in one hand, channeling his magic power to draw back the bow. The Dao principles were revealed, gathering the energy of heaven and earth to form a divine arrow, which shot towards the Prison Emperor.
He himself raised the stone club high, exuding unparalleled domineering power, and fiercely struck down the stone club, fearless, determined to kill the Prison King!
To outsiders, that was the Emperor of the Underworld!
He created the Underworld, possessed the power to communicate with the spirit of the Emperor's corpse, and became an extremely powerful being who reaffirmed the ultimate path!
Even so, Chuan Ying remained fearless, her black hair flowing, her smile radiant, yet filled with murderous intent.
"The blood feud of the collapse of the ancient Heavenly Court will be settled today!" Chuan Ying roared.
The only response he received was a cold laugh. Immediately afterward, the Prison Emperor raised his black-gold shield, blocked the divine arrow, and then swung it around, spreading the imperial laws that clashed with the boy, causing him to sway as if he were about to be sent flying.
Chuanying Stone Club slammed down, breaking through the vast ocean of imperial aura, and advanced towards the Prison Emperor. Once again, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at that ancient figure.
The Prison King swept across with his spear, his ferocity unmatched, extinguishing all arrows.
Even if some residual arrow energy managed to break through the two lines of defense, the Divine Iron Battle Armor remained undamaged, its protective power unparalleled in the mortal world!
The terrifying power of the ancient deities from the mythical era was fully revealed by the Prison Suppressor Emperor, inspiring fear in all who beheld it.
However, who is Chuanying? He is a peerless general of the ancient Heavenly Court, a being who can achieve enlightenment even under the suppression of the Emperor. His combat power is also astonishing.
"Rumble rumble rumble!"
!
Soon, the two powerful figures clashed, the laws of the imperial path boiled, and the chaotic mist surged, obscuring the Netherworld. Even Cao Ya and the other supreme beings could not clearly see the scene in the center of the battlefield. The other cultivators, even quasi-emperors, could only sense it but could not witness it in person.
People were amazed that this was the first time in millions of years that the first divine general of the ancient Heavenly Court had clashed with the "Emperor of the Underworld"!
While keeping an eye on the bloodbath within the Netherworld, Cao Ya also paid close attention to the battle between Ning Fei and the mysterious Supreme Being of the Primordial Ancient Mine.
Clang!
Ning Fei was no longer old; he had returned to his peak, his heroic figure ethereal, clad in white robes and silver armor, his silver spear gleaming, his celestial horse galloping freely. Even the Supreme Being found him troublesome.
"Ning Fei, you are neither an ancient holy body nor possess the blood of the Heavenly Tyrant, nor are you a prince or imperial son, yet you have managed to cultivate to this level. I must say, your position as the head of the Eight Divine Generals is as secure as Mount Tai. No wonder the Undying Emperor values you so much, even though you have an unusual past with the Undying Empress, the Undying Emperor doesn't mind."
The Supreme Being spoke, his voice resonating with malice, directly targeting Ning Fei's heart.
"My mind is made up. Don't even mention you. Even if the Emperor were to be resurrected or the Undying Emperor were to reappear, nothing could change my mind!" Ning Fei sneered, and his silver halberd crashed down, causing a large section of the starry sky to collapse.
The supreme being shook his head, his expression becoming solemn as he faced Ning Fei's challenge.
For him, this battle cannot be taken too lightly. Although Ning Fei is old, his condition is still better than his own.
Moreover, how could he, an ancient emperor, be defeated by an unorthodox Daoist?!
"Bang!"
!
The two supreme beings instantly erupted into the most intense battle, with imperial aura sweeping across the land, the laws wailing, and the eternal void seemingly about to be ground to dust.
Besides these two supreme battlefields, Cao Ya also paid attention to the battle between the Heavenly Court and the Underworld.
"Waaah..."
The old god channeled his energy, infinitely approaching the laws of the Emperor's Way, surging wildly, and sounded the Emperor's horn.
"Dong dong dong!"
!
In contrast, the Immortal Empress struck the Emperor's Summoning Drum, its thunderous sound clashing with the divine horn's melody. Each side suppressed the other, resulting in an extremely tense overall battle.
Moreover, the vast expanse of the starry sky resonated with this, crumbling inch by inch.
"stop……"
A flash of gleaming blade appeared, and the old woodcutter remained calm, with an air of focused concentration, as if he were still chopping wood. His movements were mysterious, imbued with a profound Daoist aura, enough to split the universe open.
"Having defeated you, my imperial path will surely be perfected, allowing me to touch the ultimate divine realm!" the Emperor said coldly, his red dragon shining brightly, illuminating the nine heavens.
The Emperor's bloodline actually originated from the Vermilion Bird. The reason why the phantom of the Crimson Dragon manifested was mainly due to that set of armor.
If you look closely, you will see a tiny Vermilion Bird standing atop the Crimson Dragon's head, its wings folded, its gaze cold as it looks down upon the mortal world.
Having fought the woodcutter many times, the Emperor knew very well how terrifying the old Taoist was. Therefore, this time, he immediately unleashed his most powerful ultimate move!
As he charged forward, the Emperor felt a surge of anger directed at Cao Ya.
Because his artifact of enlightenment, the Imperial Tower forged from Eternal Blue Gold, was taken away by Cao Ya, melted down and reforged into a divine sword, this was a great disgrace to the Emperor!
However, Cao Ya's power has increased to the point that it rivals the flawless ancient emperor. Although the emperor is strong, he is only about to attain the Dao. Before he becomes an emperor, he has no hope of matching Cao Ya.
"Your heart is in turmoil," the woodcutter said calmly. With a flick of his axe, as skillfully as a butcher dissecting an ox, he instantly severed the Crimson Dragon. The Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, spewing flames, but the woodcutter extinguished them. He pierced the little Vermilion Bird with a single stroke, causing the Emperor's face to turn pale and his eyes to turn as cold as ice.
"To attain enlightenment, cultivating one's mind is the first step." The woodcutter remained calm, yet his attack was powerful. He unleashed a burst of sword energy, risking injury to severely wound the Emperor, shattering his Crimson Dragon Armor.
The shattered armor, like a crimson dragon bowing its head, with its scales gleaming and its entire body blood-red, seemed to be forged from phoenix blood and crimson gold.
"Buzzing..."
At this moment, the profound meaning of divine metal was revealed. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the armor and stomach reassembled, continuing to provide the Emperor with top-level defense.
All kinds of immortal gold in the universe have their own mysteries. The rebirth of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold is like that of an immortal bird. Divine Mark Purple Gold can imprint the wonders of the laws of heaven and earth. Eternal Blue Gold has the charm of eternal immortality. Immortal Tear Green Gold, Feather Transformation Azure Gold, Dao Tribulation Gold, and Dragon Pattern Black Gold are also full of mysteries and fascinate people.
Otherwise, emperors and sovereigns throughout history would not have regarded these kinds of immortal metals as the best materials for forging supreme divine weapons.
"You old codger, you think you can lecture me? No one in this world can talk back to me!" The Emperor roared, his red light soaring into the sky. His supreme physique shone with magical light as he strangled the woodcutter, attempting to defeat him head-on with his prime-age body.
The Vermilion Bird reappeared, its wings spread wide, unleashing fierce flames that scorched the old man and shattered the Milky Way.
The old woodcutter remained unhurried, slicing with his axe and then slashing horizontally. His unparalleled swordsmanship appeared calm on the surface, but was actually terrifyingly powerful. The stars in front of him dimmed in an instant, the Vermilion Bird cried out in sorrow, and the Emperor roared in mourning.
"That old woodcutter has a very profound understanding of the Emperor's Way. He is almost at the Emperor Realm. In terms of cultivation, no matter if it is the old god, the immortal empress, the Divine Court Emperor, or the Yama Palace Master, none of them can compare to him."
Cao Ya exclaimed in admiration, "The old woodcutter's skill is so great, he's almost reached a level of enlightenment through unorthodox means!"
Immediately, Cao Ya said regretfully, "It's a pity that he is too old and has virtually no chance of becoming an emperor, unless he obtains an immortal elixir to continue his life, or is triggered by something else and lives a second life!"
For those who are about to attain enlightenment, even the most potent medicines and rare herbs are not very effective. Only the roots, stems, branches, and leaves of immortal divine medicines can produce miraculous results.
Unlike those who follow the extreme path, they don't need to use an entire immortal herb!
"In the name of Yama, I hereby grant you death!" Just then, the Lord of Yama's Palace coldly shouted, and a fierce light shot out from his blue pupils.
"Playing tricks!" Ye Fan said, his golden blood energy surging and dispersing the green light.
"The lineage of the Holy Body..." The Lord of the Underworld's expression turned ugly.
He is a being who is about to attain enlightenment. He was born after being nurtured for millions of years in the mountains of corpses and seas of bones in the underworld. He is known as the Primordial Yin God. He has the characteristics of many races and has gathered the advantages of various powerful races. He is now close to the Emperor Realm. He has taken on the position of the Lord of the Yama Palace in the underworld and commands the war corpses of the underworld. Many quasi-emperors and great saints must also bow down to him.
In the end, they couldn't even defeat Ye Fan, who was only at the seventh level of the Quasi-Emperor realm?!
This is undoubtedly a great humiliation for the Lord of the Underworld!
Furthermore, the commotion caused by Chuan Ying's intrusion into the Underworld and his fierce battle with the Prison King also shook the heavens. The Lord of the Underworld sensed this and felt a sense of foreboding.
The heroes of the underworld who followed him in his conquest of the mortal world, as well as countless war corpses, were slaughtered by the experts of the Heavenly Court, the Dao Palace, and the Divine Organization, and perished in large numbers.
No matter how strong a battle corpse was in life, it has lost its complete consciousness, and its combat experience and nerve reflexes are inferior to those of cultivators of the same level.
In fact, those who can cultivate to become Great Saints or even Quasi-Emperors are all incredibly powerful!
"We must kill Ye Fan as soon as possible and suppress all enemies!" The Lord of the Underworld made up his mind, let out a long roar, and moved his hands. The phantoms of mountains of corpses and seas of bones flickered, and countless war corpses slumbered. The Dao intent was unified, and the ferocity was unparalleled, suppressing Ye Fan.
"boom!
Ye Fan remained fearless, manifesting the essence of the Heavenly Emperor Fist, shattering the illusion. The ocean of golden blood surged, even suppressing the Lord of the Underworld.
Ye Fan unleashed all sorts of miraculous secret techniques, including the Fighting Secret, the One Secret, the All Secret, and the Soldier Secret, doing his utmost to fight against the Yama Palace Master, who was about to become a Daoist!
"You brat, you've cultivated for hundreds of years, how dare you deceive me?!" The Lord of the Underworld roared, thrusting out the Death Spear without any concealment. He poured his magic power into it, awakening the sleeping deity within the spear. Death energy surged like a sea, and the laws of the imperial path permeated the air. It was clearly an ultimate imperial weapon!
The Underworld was created by the Underworld Emperor and was originally considered to have inherited the legacy of the Great Emperor. Later, the Underworld Emperor passed away and was reincarnated. However, various ancient venerables coveted the method of immortality and longed for longevity because of the legend of the Underworld Emperor. They successively entered the Underworld. Among them were the Prison Suppressor Emperor, the Longevity Heavenly Venerable, and some other supreme beings.
Over millions of years, among the supreme beings slumbering in the underworld, there are always those who cannot endure it. Even initiating dark rebellions is futile, and they can only pass away unwillingly.
After their deaths, the imperial artifacts they left behind belonged to the underworld to suppress their hidden power. In later generations, qualified individuals who gained the recognition of these imperial artifacts were qualified to use them.
For example, the Lord of the Underworld, because of his extraordinary background as a primordial Yin deity, was favored by the Death Spear and could be used by it.
Of course, the massive amount of vital energy required to activate an imperial artifact is something that ordinary cultivators cannot afford.
Even those who are about to attain enlightenment can only bear it for a short period of time.
"Clang!"
The black spear of death pressed down, the Lord of the Underworld's expression was ferocious, his imposing manner overwhelming, as he forcefully killed Ye Fan.
"Ultimate Imperial Weapon? Who doesn't have one?" Ye Fan said. Like the Lord of the Underworld, he had triggered the Divine Forbidden Domain and was also blessed by the All-Encompassing Secret, resulting in a tenfold increase in combat power.
"Bang~~~"
Then, a demonic jar appeared out of thin air, hovering above Ye Fan's head. The lid opened, and endless demonic mist gushed out from the spout, bombarding the ocean of death energy and clashing with the Death Nether Spear.
The clash between the two supreme imperial weapons surpassed even those about to attain enlightenment; its power almost rivaled that of the other two supreme battlefields.
The cultivators from both camps retreated far away, engaging in a bloody battle in the distant sky, and dared not approach the battlefield.
A wisp of imperial aura can crush the starry sky; even a quasi-emperor level expert would find it difficult to withstand.
However, with a loud bang, a green light flashed within the body of Yan Ruyu, the descendant of the Demon Emperor. As Yan Ruyu flicked her finger, the Chaos Green Lotus swept across the sky, annihilating a large number of Yin soldiers from the underworld, and landed directly in the hands of the woodcutter.
Yan Ruyu thought to herself that with her own strength, she really couldn't afford the consumption required to fully revive the Chaos Green Lotus. Even with the help of the ancestral imperial weapon, it would be extremely difficult and she wouldn't be able to demonstrate the terrifying power of the Green Emperor Weapon.
Therefore, Yan Ruyu gave the Chaos Green Lotus to the woodcutter.
The woodcutter took the Chaos Green Lotus, poured his magic power into it, and swept it away, causing the starry river to shatter.
The Emperor's expression changed, knowing that he could not withstand the combined power of the Emperor's Weapon and the one who was about to attain enlightenment. With a roar, the aura of an ancient emperor also manifested on his body, and an ancient seal appeared and disappeared, blocking the Azure Emperor's Weapon.
[I highly recommend Yeguo Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Everyone should give it a try!]
"Don't think you're the only one with an ultimate artifact!" the Emperor sneered.
Due to the intensity of the war, the ancient royal family, which had sided with the Underworld, Phoenix Nest, and Divine Court, had already provided the Ancient Imperial Weapon. The Emperor then withdrew and waited for the right opportunity.
This battle of the gods was far more intense than the original timeline, and involved several times more forces.
"rumble……"
Meanwhile, within the Quasi-Emperor Battlefield, several supreme artifacts fully awakened, colliding with each other and collapsing the star sea, causing heroes to turn their backs on them and avoid them like the plague.
The Immortal Iron Rod, the Divine Emperor's Immortal Robe, the Void Mirror, and the Eternal Universe Furnace were locked in fierce combat with the Myriad Dragon Bell, the Golden Mace, and two ancient emperor weapons—a hammer and a sword. Imperial aura permeated the air, and imperial might swept across the battlefield. Such a large number of weapons could not be underestimated even by a supreme being.
While the Emperor's Horn and the Heavenly Emperor's Summoning Drum in the hands of the Old God and the Immortal Empress are not ultimate divine weapons, they are still mysterious and profound weapons made by the Emperor and the Immortal Emperor, and are no less impressive.
"boom……"
This is a decisive battle, and the once formidable quasi-emperors are now insignificant.
Those supreme imperial weapons, along with figures like Chuan Ying, Ning Fei, the Prison Suppressor Emperor, and the Primordial Ancient Mine Supreme, were what intimidated all realms and terrified countless cultivators.
As imperial weapons and artifacts revived and participated in the great battle, the chaotic mist surged, and all sorts of terrifying energy were released. Even the supreme beings of the forbidden zones began to have loopholes in their perception and could not take care of the universe.
On the edge of the universe, Cao Ya's eyes brightened.
