Entering the ancient star path, Lü Bu, with no powerful attacks threatening the Immortal Emperor’s life, locked onto the Kunpeng’s aura. He sped towards it, and before long, he encountered Kong Xuan and Yu Yi. Kong Xuan and Yu Yi had been on the ancient star path for over a hundred years and were familiar with the inner and outer regions of the Immortal Domain. They then led Lü Bu to the vicinity of the Northern Darkness region on the outskirts of the ancient star path.
Bypassing a section of the ancient road covered in dao patterns, beneath a withered, decaying tree, sat a figure clad in armor. The emperor’s blood had long since been extinguished, and his eyes were hollow, staring ahead. A贯通伤 (guàn tōng shāng - penetrating wound) in the center of his brow had pierced through his skull. His soul sea was shattered, and it was unknown how long he had been deceased. Yet, a faint imperial might still emanated from him.
"This is an Immortal Emperor from the Heavenly Gang Ancient Court. He entered the ancient star path three hundred million years ago and never returned. What a pity!" Yu Yi observed the figure, speaking with gravity. In the outside world, this was an omnipotent, supreme Immortal Emperor who had suppressed an era. Yet, on this ancient star path, he could not escape death. His imperial blood was extinguished, his myriad thoughts suppressed, and he sat there like a mere decoration, silently occupying this spot and becoming a part of the ancient star path.
After bypassing the withered, decaying tree, the three of them ventured deeper into the Northern Darkness. Before Kong Xuan, Yu Yi, and Lü Bu lay a colossal white skeleton. Half of it had entered the Immortal Domain across the spatial void, while the other half remained within the ancient star path. This half of the skeleton radiated a terrifying imperial might, with several powerful imperial patterns flowing across it. It was far more potent than the half of the skeleton in the Immortal Domain. The massive, half-body skeleton seemed to prop up the sky of the ancient star path, exuding a profound sense of weight.
When Lü Bu and the other two reached the depths of the Northern Darkness, several powerful auras had already stationed themselves in that space.
"Black Dragon!"
Yu Yi's expression shifted, and his body froze in place. He vigilantly watched a black-robed man seated in the depths of the space ahead. Amidst his black hair, a strand of crimson hair stood out, making the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor appear quite alluring. The Black Dragon King Immortal Emperor’s face was cold as he looked at Yu Yi. His black pupils instantly turned red, transforming into myriad dao patterns. He let out a cold laugh and said, "Yu Yi, you have attained the dao today, and it is time for you to atone for your past sins!"
"Human Immortal Emperor!"
In a space not far away, Tun Ri Immortal Emperor from the Sky Swallowing Palace in the northern region of the Immortal Domain, his pupils flashing, spoke.
"Decades ago, your human race's Wang Zhongsi, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Murong Ke, four Quasi-Emperors, suppressed the void and their fame spread throughout the four regions of the Immortal Domain in a single battle. Their combat power was immense, shattering the eternal iron laws," Tun Ri Immortal Emperor said with a slight smile, observing Lü Bu.
Lü Bu's eyes flashed with golden light, and a terrifying surge of bloody energy shot towards Tun Ri Immortal Emperor. The vast imperial might shook even the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor’s expression. The terrifying bloody energy, covered in dao patterns, struck everything. Within the skies of the ancient star path, it shot outwards.
"How dare you!"
"Humans dare to be presumptuous before this Emperor! Hmph!" Tun Ri Immortal Emperor spread his hands and pushed directly towards the bloody energy. The surroundings rumbled, and the expressions of several ordinary Immortal Emperors rushing towards the Northern Darkness turned grim.
"Pfft!"
Tun Ri Immortal Emperor spat out a mouthful of blood. The space behind him directly shattered, and his body was propelled into the void by the bloody energy, disappearing from sight.
For a moment, Kong Xuan, Yu Yi, and the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor were all greatly shocked. Lü Bu, who only controlled two imperial destinies, had actually repelled Tun Ri Immortal Emperor, who controlled eight imperial destinies, with a single blow. The formidable imperial might caused the dao patterns on the colossal skeleton to surge.
"Insignificant rats, I see you as mere dust!" Lü Bu retracted the bloody energy from his eyes. A few breaths later, the battered Tun Ri Immortal Emperor emerged from the void, casting a wary glance at the nine-foot-tall figure.
The Black Dragon Immortal Emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and he closed them, remaining silent. Tun Ri Immortal Emperor directly retreated from this place, recuperating in the distance. Before long, several powerful auras arrived. Lü Bu instantly locked onto the Void Immortal Emperor, who harbored enmity towards the Great Han. Soon after, the dao patterns on the skeleton blazed, and terrifying imperial might swept across the eight directions. This situation persisted for several hours before gradually subsiding.
*Dong!*
*Dong!*
The void trembled. Yan Xing Immortal Emperor of the Sun Moon Heavenly Court miraculously appeared in the Northern Darkness of the ancient star path. This Yan Xing Immortal Emperor, who had attained the dao for a hundred thousand years and consumed the Chang Ling Pill, did not delay. Upon the appearance of the Kunpeng Immortal Emperor’s inheritance, he chose to enter the ancient star path. Qiong Huang Immortal Emperor of the Qiongqi lineage, Fei Shi Immortal Emperor of the Undying Mountain, and Bai Dao Immortal Emperor of the Hundred Refinements Heavenly Court arrived one after another.
On the outskirts of the Northern Darkness of the ancient star path, Tian Xing held a Kunpeng rune, gazing at the sky.
"They have all arrived. We can begin!" Jiu Yao, locking onto the auras of the ten Immortal Emperors, spoke coldly, an incredibly chilling killing intent in his brow.
*Bang!* Tian Xing’s palm exerted a slight force, shattering the Kunpeng rune. Instantly, the massive skeleton’s dao patterns began to break apart one by one. The surging runes gradually extinguished, and the terrifying imperial might also began to dissipate. At the center of the colossal skeleton, a talisman gradually condensed, upon which a Kunpeng rune flickered.
The tremendous movement attracted Lü Bu and the ten Immortal Emperors. They all rose and approached the giant skeleton, observing the changes in it.
"Dao patterns shattered, imperial might vanished, talisman condensed!"
"This ruin can now be opened!" At this moment, the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor, who possessed the largest number of controlled imperial destinies, spoke. He raised his hand and shot a beam of light directly onto the talisman at the center of the skeleton. Immediately, cries of sorrow and roars erupted from the talisman. The Kunpeng rune frantically thrashed, resisting the onslaught from the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor.
*Boom!*
With the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor's strike, a torrent of terrifying imperial might surged forth, striking the center of the skeleton and violently impacting the vibrating talisman. A deafening roar reverberated. Each of these individuals was a supreme Immortal Emperor; with a flick of their fingers, they could easily crush a realm in the Immortal Domain. However, even facing the assault of ten Immortal Emperors, the talisman still held on for several breaths. Su Dan Novel Network.
"The ordinary Immortal Emperors of the four regions of the Immortal Domain are truly weak!" Gu Xing observed the talisman at the center of the skeleton with disdain, muttering dismissively.
Long Zun smiled faintly and said, "In the four regions of the Immortal Domain, since the era of the Hundred Emperors, all resources have begun to decline. With the leadership of our four major powers, they are merely pawns for us to balance the four regions of the Immortal Domain; they cannot become strong!"
"Everyone, stop holding back. The Kunpeng rune on this talisman is about to run out of energy. Let us combine our strength for a final blow to shatter it, and the inheritance of Kunpeng Immortal Emperor will be opened."
