Void Emperor looked at Ye Fan with uncertainty. He truly found it hard to connect this youth with a Heavenly Emperor.
He could not help looking at Li Ping again. In his view, it would have been more credible to say that Li Ping was Heavenly Court's next Heavenly Emperor.
"A Heavenly Emperor's cultivation reaches the very essence of creation. They can travel freely through the River of Time and know every change that will occur in the future!"
Li Ping's expression was calm, as though he were speaking of something utterly ordinary. Void Emperor clearly did not see it that way.
Travel freely through the River of Time? Know every change in the future?
He could not do it. Nor could the other Ancient Sovereigns and Great Emperors!
He even believed that the immortals of legend could not accomplish such a thing!
What kind of powerhouse could possibly travel freely through the River of Time?
It was simply unimaginable!
Come to think of it, bringing the dead back to life was hardly something an ordinary person could accomplish.
Without realizing it, his assessment of Heavenly Court rose to another level.
The tree wished for calm, but the wind would not cease. Divine City's peace did not last long.
Too many people did not want Divine King Jiang Taixu to keep living, and many others did not want the Sacred Body to successfully break through.
"Dong!"
The bell rang out thunderously and without end, echoing through heaven and earth. The Jiang Family's underground palace shook as a peerless powerhouse made a move.
Without any hesitation, the Jiang Family immediately activated the Supreme Emperor Armament, the Hengyu Furnace. Supreme divine might spread across heaven and earth.
From afar, crimson radiance shot into the sky, and phoenix cries shook the heavens. It was as if a divine phoenix had been reborn in flames and was soaring between heaven and earth.
Void Emperor's eyes were filled with reminiscence. Naturally, he was no stranger to Hengyu the Great's Supreme Emperor Armament.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
The void trembled once more, and heaven and earth were pierced through as an immense pressure surged forth.
Supreme divine might! To counter the Hengyu Furnace, someone had likewise activated a Supreme Emperor Armament.
"This Supreme Emperor Armament is rather extraordinary," Void Emperor said softly.
For him to say such a thing was enough to show that the Supreme Emperor Armament opposing the Hengyu Furnace was far from ordinary.
"The Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron. It is Yao Guang Sacred Land's Supreme Emperor Armament, forged by Ruthless Emperor herself," Li Ping said.
He had no need to hide so much from Void Emperor, because Void Emperor was qualified to know.
Void Emperor's heart stirred slightly. He had heard Li Ping mention Yao Guang Sacred Land before, but Yao Guang Sacred Land had never produced a Great Emperor.
It was said that Yao Guang Sacred Land's twenty-eight sages, along with countless Sacred Masters and Supreme Elders, had spent fifty thousand years refining the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron.
That was simply a joke. Without a Supreme Great Emperor, how could there be a Supreme Emperor Armament?
Yet according to Li Ping, the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron had actually been personally refined by Ruthless Emperor.
Did that not mean that Ruthless Emperor had remained in this world all along and had certainly not perished after four lifetimes?
Li Ping even knew such a secret. Was it because he was a member of Heavenly Court?
It seemed that Heavenly Court was not only incomparably terrifying, but also deeply knowledgeable about all manner of secrets in the world.
As the two Supreme Emperor Armaments confronted one another, the Jiang Family lost its support. Peerless powerhouses emerged one after another, intending to kill Divine King Jiang Taixu.
The Jiang Family was in imminent danger, yet neither Li Ping nor Void Emperor showed the slightest intention of intervening.
"Senior, what do you think of the Jiang Family's Divine King?" Li Ping asked.
The reason he did not act was because he knew that Divine King Jiang Taixu was undergoing a transformation. Those who had attacked were basically delivering themselves to death.
Void Emperor had likely seen this as well. He did not wish for Divine King Jiang Taixu to miss this chance to temper himself, which was why he had not acted either.
"Hengyu the Great has such a descendant. Not bad," Void Emperor said.
This was already extremely high praise. In a Great Emperor's eyes, the level of one's cultivation did not truly matter much.
To cultivate to such a degree during an era when heaven and earth were dormant, stubbornly endure for four thousand years without dying, and even show signs of living a second life.
The White-Clad Divine King Jiang Taixu was indeed worthy of Void Emperor's words: "Not bad."
Just as Divine King Jiang Taixu gradually revived and numerous powerhouses charged into the Jiang Family's underground palace, Ye Fan was also undergoing his tribulation.
Ye Fan's heavenly tribulation was exceedingly terrifying. Many people felt their hearts tremble with fear merely by watching from afar.
Ye Fan's first layer of heavenly tribulation consisted of nine bolts of heavenly lightning, while the second consisted of nine tides of purple lightning seas.
The third layer of heavenly tribulation transformed lightning into nine phantoms, interwoven with arcs of electricity like nine deities.
The fourth layer of heavenly tribulation was nine great bolts of lightning, each carrying a wisp of circulating Chaos Qi. They were chaotic lightning bolts.
Every layer of heavenly tribulation was boundlessly terrifying, yet Ye Fan endured them all head-on. He even transformed and was reborn within the tribulation.
Having passed four layers of heavenly tribulation, Ye Fan had successfully broken through into the Four Extremes Realm. This should have been an event that shook the world.
Yet at this moment, no one paid attention to Ye Fan. Nearly everyone's attention was fixed on Divine King Jiang Taixu.
Thirteen Sacred Masters had joined forces, along with several mysterious powerhouses, and they had already charged into the Jiang Family's underground palace.
In everyone's eyes, the situation was already exceedingly grim. Divine King Jiang Taixu would likely face disaster this time.
At that moment, Divine King Jiang Taixu suddenly stood up. Standing within the Dragon Transformation Pool, Divine King Jiang Taixu had returned to life.
The Divine King's revival did not stop the many powerhouses. Instead, it strengthened their resolve to kill him.
They all believed that the Divine King had only temporarily revived and was in poor condition. If they did not kill him now, when would they?
"It is here!" Void Emperor raised his head to the sky and softly uttered two words.
The next moment, the void trembled. This expanse of sky seemed about to collapse, making everyone shudder with terror.
Under the night sky, strands of innate patterns emerged and intertwined high above, forming a Dao diagram that slowly pressed downward.
The Dao diagram was profound and unfathomable, like the embodiment of the Great Dao itself. It left people breathless as the void shook violently, nearly collapsing.
Even the many powerhouses preparing to kill Divine King Jiang Taixu were terrified, all of them looking toward that Dao diagram.
"The Innate Dao Diagram! This is because the Sacred Body is not acknowledged by heaven and earth. It is an unbreakable curse!" Li Ping said.
The Innate Dao Diagram was not a heavenly tribulation, yet it was more than a hundred times more terrifying than any heavenly tribulation!
The Innate Dao Diagram was formed from innate patterns woven by heaven and earth. It represented the will of the Great Dao: heaven and earth did not acknowledge the Sacred Body.
For this reason, throughout the Post-Ancient Era, not a single Sacred Body had ever been able to cultivate to the Four Extremes Realm.
It was a curse and also a shackle, a restriction that heaven and earth imposed upon the Sacred Body!
How could human strength possibly defy the heavens?
"What a pity! The Sacred Body ultimately cannot defy the heavens. This is heaven and earth's restriction!"
"The Sacred Body truly is monstrous and possesses peerless talent, but in the end, it will all come to nothing!"
"The Sacred Body's path has been cut off and is no longer a concern. Even the Divine King will fall!"
No one believed Ye Fan still had any hope. Faced with heaven and earth's restrictions, no one could defy fate and change their destiny.
The Innate Dao Diagram slowly descended, crushing the void into collapse. Nothing could withstand it; it pulverized every obstacle!
"So what if heaven and earth refuse to acknowledge it? I will continue the Sacred Body's path!" Void Emperor said.
With a wave of his hand, a swath of patterns rushed forth. The aura of the Great Dao emerged, surging against the heavens toward the sky to confront the Innate Dao Diagram.
Before countless stunned eyes, the Innate Dao Diagram trembled and could no longer descend even an inch!
