Li Ping looked at Void Emperor, his eyes full of admiration. He had already guessed what Void Emperor intended to do.
Void Emperor's task was to protect Ye Fan and help him break through the restrictions of heaven and earth.
Now that Ye Fan had successfully entered the Four Extremes Realm, Void Emperor's task had been completed.
The ten thousand Points were already his. Void Emperor could have done nothing more.
But Void Emperor clearly did not see it that way. As for the Sacred Body, he felt that he ought to shoulder some responsibility.
"Sacred Body, so you were hiding in Divine City. You've got some nerve!"
"The Sacred Body must be executed! He has committed countless crimes, and innumerable young cultivators have died by his hand!"
"That's right! The Sacred Body endangers the world and must be executed!"
The experts from the various sacred lands looked at Ye Fan as killing intent erupted from many of them at once.
After Ye Fan broke through the restrictions of heaven and earth, the terrifying nature of the Sacred Body, a physique that defied the heavens, would gradually reveal itself.
The various sacred lands already bore grudges against Ye Fan, so naturally they did not want to see him given a chance to rise.
"Must be executed? Are you talking about the Sacred Body, or yourselves?" Void Emperor said in a deep voice.
His voice was calm and devoid of emotion, yet to the various sacred lands, it struck like a bolt from a clear sky.
The experts of the Ji Family in particular felt as though the mysterious expert's gaze had settled upon them.
It was as if they were being watched by some terrifying existence. A mere glance was enough to send chills down their spines.
The underground palace instantly fell silent. The experts from the various sacred lands said nothing further, not daring to utter another word.
They had all witnessed how the mysterious expert before them had obliterated the Innate Dao Diagram.
Their joint pressure had only been an attempt to bully others with numbers, but the mysterious expert's stance was already perfectly clear.
With such an expert protecting him, how could they dare kill Ye Fan?
"Rumble!"
Extreme Dao Imperial Might swept across heaven and earth as the Hengyu Furnace and the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron resumed their fierce clash.
Today, besides Ye Fan breaking through and shattering the restrictions of heaven and earth, Divine King Jiang Taixu had also returned to life.
Several peerless experts had come for Divine King Jiang Taixu, unwilling to let him continue living in this world.
A fierce battle erupted instantly. Divine King Jiang Taixu fought more than a dozen peerless experts alone, displaying unparalleled brilliance.
"Master, is the Divine King going to be all right?" Ye Fan asked quietly.
Too many peerless experts had come. Divine King Jiang Taixu was alone and had yet to fully recover, so Ye Fan could not help worrying.
"Once he survives this trial, the Great Dao will lie open before him," Li Ping said.
When Ye Fan broke through, he drew the attention of countless people, effectively easing the pressure on Divine King Jiang Taixu.
With such precious time to recover, how could Divine King Jiang Taixu fail to slaughter every enemy who came for him?
Yet that was not the crucial point. How to complete his transformation was the greatest challenge Divine King Jiang Taixu faced.
"To rise to the utmost and ascend, to rise from ruin—this junior is quite remarkable!" Void Emperor said.
For him to receive such praise from Void Emperor showed just how extraordinarily gifted Divine King Jiang Taixu was.
It was precisely because of this that Void Emperor had not intervened. He wanted to give this junior a chance.
Divine King Jiang Taixu's divine might overwhelmed the world. He charged alone into a group of supreme experts as though no one stood in his way!
Thirteen Holy Lords could not stop him, nor could the Dark Night King from four thousand years ago.
One battle shocked the world. Divine King Jiang Taixu, clad in white like snow, had returned from death—peerless and transcendent. Who could contend with him?
Both Void Emperor and Li Ping could see that Divine King Jiang Taixu was undergoing a transformation.
Once the transformation was complete, Divine King Jiang Taixu would be able to live a second life against the natural order.
Since ancient times, only a handful of people had managed to live a second life through their own abilities, and every one of them had possessed astounding talent.
For Divine King Jiang Taixu to live a second life against the natural order during an era when heaven and earth were silent naturally made him exceptionally gifted.
"Greetings, Senior!" Divine King Jiang Taixu said respectfully.
Though he had displayed world-shaking combat power and slain every enemy who had come for him, he did not dare show the slightest disrespect toward the senior before him.
He had personally witnessed this senior deploy a complete Great Emperor Formation Pattern and obliterate the Innate Dao Diagram.
He knew he lacked such strength. In other words, this senior's power was likely far beyond his own.
Void Emperor nodded without saying anything. Instead, he raised his head to the sky, his eyes filled with determination.
Divine King Jiang Taixu was slightly startled. At that moment, he actually sensed an aura that made his heart tremble.
The senior before him clearly gave off no discernible aura, yet a single movement from him seemed capable of overturning heaven and earth.
"When humanity has no Ancient Emperor, the Nine Sacred Bodies battle the heavens! The Sacred Body should not suffer such a fate!" Void Emperor murmured.
The next moment, an aura like that of a god erupted, throwing heaven and earth into chaos and sweeping across countless miles!
Void Emperor merely stood there, yet he seemed to become infinitely towering, the sole existence in the world.
The Nine Heavens and Ten Lands trembled. Boundless phenomena surged into the sky, forcing countless living beings to kneel and worship.
An Ancient Emperor had reappeared in the world. Even with his aura concealed and everything drawn inward, he remained a supreme god.
"Today, I will open a path to life for the Sacred Body! Mirror, come!"
A furious roar rang through heaven and earth, shaking all hearts. The entire Big Dipper Star Domain trembled three times.
Void Emperor stood proudly above the nine heavens, his might suppressing the three realms and six paths, his aura soaring into the stars. In all the world, he alone reigned supreme!
With a boom, an ancient bronze mirror soared into the sky from the Eastern Wasteland Ji Family, emanating hazy Chaos Qi.
"T-That is the Supreme Emperor Armament, the Void Mirror?"
Everyone was stunned. A single soft call had actually summoned the Ji Family's Supreme Emperor Armament, the Void Mirror.
Moreover, the Void Mirror trembled lightly, as though excited by something. It had already fully awakened.
Extreme Dao Imperial Might swept across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. Divine might surged through countless miles, and the entire universe trembled.
This was a true Supreme Emperor Armament. No matter how far away one was, one would tremble before its vast imperial might.
Everyone in the Ji Family was stunned. The various sacred lands were stunned as well, and living beings throughout the universe shivered in fear.
The Void Mirror had fully awakened and answered his call at once. Looking across the entire universe, who else possessed such ability?
At the same time, as Extreme Dao Imperial Might swept across the universe, mysterious auras gradually awakened within the various Life Forbidden Zones.
The Supremes had been alarmed. Sensing that familiar Extreme Dao Imperial Might, they all felt as though they were dreaming.
"This is Extreme Dao Imperial Might? In this era, is there still a living Extreme Dao Emperor?"
"Impossible! Azure Emperor has already passed away. How could there still be a living Extreme Dao Emperor?"
"This aura? Why is it so familiar? This... this is?"
The Supremes were all incomparably shocked. They could naturally tell whether it was a living Extreme Dao Emperor.
It was precisely because of that that they could not understand how a living emperor could exist in this era.
When the shocked Supremes opened their eyes and looked toward Divine City, every one of them was left utterly dumbfounded.
A towering figure stood above the nine heavens, with an ancient bronze mirror floating above his head.
"T-That is Void Emperor? A living Void Emperor?"
