The Void Emperor reappeared in the world and traveled through the Life Forbidden Zones, as if reminiscing about the glorious years of the past.
In the previous Life Forbidden Zones, the Void Emperor had merely passed through and looked around, with no intention of making a move.
But upon reaching Immortal Mountain, the situation changed. The Void Emperor's bearing transformed completely.
In that instant, heaven and earth trembled, the cosmos shook, as though a supreme deity had been enraged.
"That's Immortal Mountain!" Li Ping's single remark revealed the truth.
The Void Emperor had been born in the era when the Dark Turmoil was at its most frequent, and Immortal Mountain had been the most rampant of all.
Over a hundred thousand years ago, the Void Emperor had confronted several Supremes within Immortal Mountain.
It was no exaggeration to say that the hatred between the Void Emperor and Immortal Mountain had reached the point of irreconcilability.
That was why the Void Emperor had been able to remain calm in the previous Life Forbidden Zones.
But in Immortal Mountain, he could not!
After more than a hundred thousand years, the Void Emperor had returned to the world. The grievances of the past had to be settled.
Everyone's gaze gathered upon Immortal Mountain, but the aura there was simply too terrifying.
No one dared approach, nor was anyone able to approach!
"Too terrifying! Those are the most terrifying beings in the world, confronting one another!"
"Will a horrifying battle erupt? Who will escape disaster when that happens?"
"The Void Emperor is being so forceful. Is he going to erase Immortal Mountain from history?"
In the Post-Ancient Era, heaven and earth had fallen silent, and the Life Forbidden Zones had likewise sunk into silence.
No earth-shattering battle had occurred in the world for a very long time. Was one about to appear again?
Some were filled with anticipation, some were uneasy, and some harbored inexplicable thoughts.
Without question, at this very moment, Immortal Mountain had become the center of attention for the entire universe.
"Immortal Mountain is nothing special, really!"
Hearing that incredibly arrogant voice, Li Ping turned around and saw a huge black dog.
The huge black dog stood upright on its hind legs, its face full of disdain. It looked vividly human, no different from a person.
"Shut up! All you know is how to brag!" Ye Fan said with a dark expression.
He had never heard a single honest word from the Black Emperor. His boasts could reach the heavens.
At a time like this, with the situation so tense, Ye Fan had no mood to listen to the Black Emperor's nonsense.
"Back then, the Emperor entered Immortal Mountain and personally killed a Supreme. Who would dare say otherwise?" the Black Emperor said disdainfully.
As he spoke, his gaze kept unconsciously settling on Li Ping.
From Ye Fan, he had learned that the Void Emperor had been summoned by Li Ping to protect Ye Fan's path.
The Void Emperor, who had died more than a hundred thousand years ago, had reappeared in the world. This inevitably gave him some ideas.
Could he learn news of the Emperor from Li Ping? Could he make the Emperor reappear in the world?
Meanwhile, within Immortal Mountain, a terrifying aura pressed down like a deluge, and a million mountains shook violently.
The Void Emperor's expression was cold as he stared into the depths of Immortal Mountain, intense killing intent rippling around him.
"Stone Emperor, you are still as arrogant as ever! But only you remain in Immortal Mountain now!" the Void Emperor said.
With a single thought, an Emperor could perceive all things in the world. He already knew the situation within Immortal Mountain.
More than a hundred thousand years ago, Immortal Mountain had been his greatest adversary. Even when he gave it everything he had, he could not level Immortal Mountain.
More than a hundred thousand years had passed, and times had changed. The once-flourishing Immortal Mountain now had only two Supremes remaining.
Besides the Stone Emperor, there was another aged Supreme whose days were numbered and who posed no threat.
"You could not flatten this place before, and you still cannot now! Besides, whether you are truly Void is another matter entirely!"
A cold voice rang out from the depths of Immortal Mountain. Every black peak swayed violently, unleashing thunderous roars.
"Come out and fight me!" the Void Emperor said.
The Void Mirror gave a soft hum and released a beam of light, shattering a mountain. Broken rocks flew in every direction, shaking the entire Eastern Wasteland.
The mist deep within Immortal Mountain dispersed, revealing a towering figure that flickered in and out of sight like a demonic god.
"You really are Void!"
The Stone Emperor's voice was full of astonishment. He could no longer maintain his earlier indifference, seemingly unable to believe this outcome.
Even after more than a hundred thousand years, how could the Stone Emperor fail to recognize the Void Emperor's power?
A guess was one thing. The truth was another!
Facing the living Void Emperor—and one at the peak of his strength—the Stone Emperor panicked somewhat!
Was he really going to emerge and fight the Void Emperor?
No! After waiting through ages upon ages, how could he let everything fail at the final step?
He could not emerge at such a time, so he fell silent!
The Void Emperor raised his great hand and slapped toward the depths of Immortal Mountain. In an instant, a million mountains collapsed.
Extreme Dao Imperial Might swept across the entire Big Dipper Star Domain with Immortal Mountain as its center. The Star River quivered chaotically, as if it were about to collapse.
"Void, how dare you?" the Stone Emperor roared.
After more than a hundred thousand years, the Void Emperor had reappeared in the world and charged into Immortal Mountain.
That was already fantastical enough, yet something even more unbelievable happened.
The Void Emperor was incomparably domineering. One slap from him was a slap across the Stone Emperor's face!
The Void Emperor's expression remained cold as he struck out with another slap, turning the depths of Immortal Mountain upside down.
After attacking twice in succession, he had at least recovered some interest. The anger in his heart had subsided considerably.
He stood within Immortal Mountain and waited for a while, yet the Stone Emperor never broke his seal and emerged.
With a cold sneer and a face full of disdain, the Void Emperor shook his head toward the depths of Immortal Mountain, then turned and left.
If the Path to Immortality were not about to open, if not for reviving those who had passed away—
Then even if he had to die once more today, he would have made Immortal Mountain a thing of history!
But he had more important things to do!
In this era, the Path to Immortality would open, and the greatest Dark Turmoil in history was certain to occur.
To protect all living beings and fight for them, he could set aside all personal honor, disgrace, gains, and losses!
"Stone Emperor was beaten by the Void Emperor, became afraid, and did not dare to act. Shock Value +1000000!"
"The Stone Emperor may not cower with his mouth, but his body is quite honest!" Li Ping sneered.
The other Supremes had not emerged. Even after the Stone Emperor had been humiliated at his own doorstep by the Void Emperor, he still had not emerged.
The reason was actually simple: there was not much time left before the Path to Immortality opened!
The Supremes had waited through ages upon ages for a chance to become immortal!
With the Path to Immortality about to open, fighting the Void Emperor now would be a joke.
The Supremes would rather endure humiliation and die on the Path to Immortality than die at the Void Emperor's hands.
The ten thousand Points are already in hand. If I complete a few more tasks, I can revive the Sacred Body senior first! the Void Emperor thought to himself.
The task of protecting the Sacred Body's path had already been completed. When he checked the token, the ten thousand Points had already arrived.
He had studied it carefully. He only needed five hundred thousand Points to revive the Sacred Body senior.
Though the gap still seemed considerable, as long as he worked hard to complete the tasks issued by the Heavenly Court, it would not actually take too long.
The only problem was that the Heavenly Court had far too few tasks. It would be better if there were more.
When the Void Emperor returned to Divine City, the major sacred lands that received the news immediately requested an audience.
