Stone Emperor no longer had any desire to undergo ultimate sublimation. It was just taking a beating—who couldn't do that?
No matter how powerful the Myriad Transformations Sacred Art was, capable of transforming all techniques under heaven, how could it transform anything if he did not make a move?
The Power of Flying Immortal was indestructible and could break through anything. It could not kill him; it would only make him stronger!
"I have looked down upon the ages. Void Emperor is nothing more than that. Wushi can barely fight me, and you are not even worth mentioning!"
Stone Emperor had gotten carried away. The worse his beating became, the more arrogant his words grew. He did not take the Ruthless Emperor seriously at all.
If not for the steadily increasing Shock Value, Li Ping might actually have believed him.
"Stone Emperor was unilaterally suppressed by the Ruthless Emperor and was shocked by her strength. Shock Value +1000000!"
"Stone Emperor feared that ultimate sublimation would lead to his death and hesitated. Shock Value +1000000!"
"Stone Emperor was passively taking blows, feeling miserable and not knowing when it would end. Shock Value +1000000!"
The Shock Value kept increasing. Stone Emperor's contribution was immense, making it easy to imagine just how he felt right now.
His body might have yielded, but his mouth did not. Taking the harshest beating while saying the fiercest words—that was Stone Emperor!
Besides Stone Emperor, the other Supremes were also watching this battle, yet the more they watched, the more confused they became.
"Has Desolate Lord gone mad? She actually started an Emperor War with Stone Emperor at such a critical moment?"
"Hm? Something is wrong. Stone Emperor has clearly been completely suppressed, so why has he not undergone ultimate sublimation?"
"Desolate Lord has not even gone all out. She still has the strength to confine the effects of this battle within Immortal Mountain?"
To most living beings, this battle was incomparably terrifying, as though it could destroy heaven and earth, leaving them deeply unsettled.
But to the Supremes, while this battle was indeed terrifying, it did not truly count as an Emperor War.
Stone Emperor had not even undergone ultimate sublimation. What kind of Emperor War was that?
The current situation was simply this bizarre. Stone Emperor was thoroughly suppressed and passively taking blows, yet he was only taking blows!
Desolate Lord had the ability to go further and force Stone Emperor into ultimate sublimation, but she showed no intention of doing so.
Then what was Desolate Lord's purpose in charging into Immortal Mountain?
Was it merely to give Stone Emperor a savage beating?
How could a powerhouse of such a level act without deep meaning behind every movement? How could they take it lightly?
Moreover, this was the critical moment before the Path to Immortality opened. They could not help but overthink Desolate Lord's actions.
There had to be a scheme behind this. It was definitely not as simple as it appeared!
Yet no matter how hard they racked their brains, they could not understand Desolate Lord's purpose.
"Didn't you eat? Is this all the strength you have? You cannot even scratch an itch for me!"
Stone Emperor remained as arrogant as ever. He was already somewhat unhinged and only hoped that this confrontation would end quickly.
But this time was different. All of a sudden, he sensed an inexplicable aura, and his expression changed drastically.
An immortal radiance flew toward him, bearing peerless dominance and unimaginable power. All the light in the world dimmed, losing its brilliance before this glow.
It was like an immortal descending from beyond the heavens. Specks of radiant rain drifted down like vast swathes of white feathers, containing a supreme killing force rarely seen throughout ancient and modern times.
Stone Emperor was horrified. This had not been the case just now!
Although Desolate Lord's attacks had been fierce, they had not been lethal. Why had she suddenly erupted?
"I sacrifice immortals with my imperial blood! I forge immortality with my divine blood!" Stone Emperor roared.
A figure like a god or demon strode forward from afar, flowing with the aura of ages. It was utterly terrifying and immensely powerful.
This expanse of void ignited. Blood streamed from Stone Emperor's body, dyeing the universe red before burning fiercely and ringing with the Dao.
Heaven and earth trembled, space and time turned to ruins, and every living being in the universe was terrified, sensing a power capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Blazing light drowned everything, boundless and vast. Chaos surged, the void suffered great destruction, and all things became ruins.
Amid the boundless chaos, a peerlessly beautiful figure emerged from Immortal Mountain. Her white robes fluttered as she stood aloft in the sky, her bearing unparalleled!
She advanced step by step, crushing heaven and earth beneath her feet. She possessed an aura that looked down upon all ages, dominated the world, and stood invincible beneath heaven.
The entire universe fell silent. The Supremes within the Life Forbidden Zones stared at that peerless figure and remained speechless for a long while.
"I have repaid what I owed you," the Ruthless Emperor said coolly.
She had entered Immortal Mountain and beaten Stone Emperor savagely only to complete the task issued by the Heavenly Court.
The task had stated clearly that she only needed to give Stone Emperor a savage beating, so she had merely given Stone Emperor a savage beating.
Throughout it all, no matter how arrogantly Stone Emperor mocked her, she remained unmoved, as though she were facing a madly barking vicious dog.
However, even a clay figure had some temper. Though she would not kill Stone Emperor, she still had to teach him a lesson.
That final strike was the price Stone Emperor paid for his arrogance, enough to make him never forget it for eternity.
Now that she had completed the task, she had received 10000 Points and immediately returned them to Li Ping.
She had already repaid the Points needed to revive her brother tenfold, but she would forever remember this kindness.
With the unfathomable Heavenly Court and the vast world of the Myriad Worlds, she would walk side by side with her brother.
The Ruthless Emperor left. Separated from her brother by life and death for more than two hundred thousand years, she had much to say to him.
"Stone Emperor really is miserable," Li Ping said with glee.
Void Emperor had reappeared in the world and slapped Stone Emperor twice, and now the Ruthless Emperor had given him another savage beating.
A world where only Stone Emperor got hurt had been achieved!
But did you think that was the end?
No! This was only the beginning!
Stone Emperor would soon discover that Void Emperor's two slaps had absolutely been the gentlest treatment.
"I will stand guard in the Big Dipper Star Domain," Void Emperor said.
The Path to Immortality was about to open, and the Big Dipper Star Domain was undergoing turbulent changes. It would soon become the center of the universe.
Only with a human Great Emperor standing guard here could the Big Dipper Star Domain remain stable.
More importantly, when the Path to Immortality opened, the greatest upheaval of all ages would arrive.
During this final stretch of time, he needed to take another step forward to face the greatest Dark Turmoil since ancient times.
In that battle just now, he had seen a hint of possibility in the Ruthless Emperor. Perhaps he could use it to take that step.
But was that alone really enough?
If he asked himself honestly, when the Supremes of the Life Forbidden Zones emerged together, could he truly protect all living beings?
Thinking of this, he could not help but cast a deep glance at Li Ping, his gaze filled with expectation.
It might have been difficult before, but with the unfathomable Heavenly Court, all living beings were not without hope.
"Next, you should cultivate properly too!" Li Ping said, looking at Ye Fan with a brilliantly bright smile.
Ye Fan could not help shuddering. For some reason, whenever he saw his master smile, he always felt a chill run down his spine.
No way! No way! His master was not going to torment him to death, was he?
But when he thought of how unreliable his master was, he could not help feeling dejected.
Forget it! He would stop resisting! Death was death!
Black Emperor was also smiling. The way he looked at Ye Fan carried ill intent; it was time for him to begin acting as well.
The Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo—merely thinking about it made his entire body tremble.
For the sake of the Great Emperor, for the sake of all kinds of peerless physiques, Ye Fan could only suffer a little.
Pah, pah, pah! How could it be called suffering?
This was clearly romantic good fortune, the kind others could beg for and never obtain!
