In the Qi Shi Academy, a great halberd cleaved down, shattering the Five-Colored Altar before tearing through the void and vanishing without a trace.
From beginning to end, the great halberd paid no mind to the three old men, as if they were insignificant existences, not even worth a strike.
"It seems that Saint Body from earlier was no simple matter! To actually draw out an Ancient Emperor Weapon!" the old man in the golden feathered robe said.
A young man, only at the first heaven of the Immortal Platform, no matter how monstrous, wouldn't warrant being pursued by an Ancient Emperor Weapon.
The Sacred Body might be one reason, but a larger possibility was that the identity of that Saint Body was far from simple.
After all, if their eyes didn't deceive them, that Ancient Emperor Weapon should have originated from the Forbidden Zones of Life.
"We've done all we could. The rest depends on the Saint Body's own fortune!" the old man in purple sighed.
Facing an Ancient Emperor Weapon, especially a revived one, they were powerless to resist.
The only thing they could do was to fully activate the Five-Colored Altar, which gave that Saint Body a sliver of hope.
However, the Starry Sky Gate was still affected by the Ancient Emperor Weapon. It was unknown if the path to the outer regions would encounter any issues.
Just then, the three old men simultaneously felt a vast aura, and their expressions changed drastically.
"This? This is the Great Accomplishment Saint Body?"
All three looked towards the direction of the Undying Mountain. Terrifying blood essence surged through the sky, and a boundless aura shook the nine heavens and ten earths.
With such terrifying blood essence and such a vast aura, in this era, it could only be the Great Accomplishment Saint Body!
On this day, the Undying Mountain was filled with constant roars, and a terrifying aura permeated the entire Big Dipper Star Domain, striking terror into countless hearts.
On a desolate ancient star, Yang Qing patted the dust off his body. His face was pale, devoid of any color.
Although he wasn't directly struck by the Ancient Emperor Weapon, the mere residual aura from it made it difficult for him to breathe.
"Undying Mountain, I'll remember this grudge. Once my divine art reaches great accomplishment, I'll come back to settle the score!"
Yang Qing couldn't help but feel fortunate. His intuition had been right. If he had been a step slower, he would have likely perished.
He had expected the Undying Mountain to send experts to hunt him down, but he hadn't anticipated that the Supreme Beings would be so insane as to deploy an Ancient Emperor Weapon.
They were clearly trying to kill him!
He could only hope his Master wouldn't act rashly upon sensing the aura of the Ancient Emperor Weapon. He wanted his Master to live for many more years.
Just as he was about to survey his surroundings, his expression suddenly changed. The air on this ancient star was poisonous, making him feel somewhat dizzy.
Fortunately, with his current strength, whether he breathed or not was inconsequential. Otherwise, he might have perished on this ancient star.
He flew into the sky and looked into the distance. The surroundings were incredibly desolate. Not to mention living beings, not even a blade of grass could be seen.
After flying forward for some time, he suddenly saw a golden expanse, incredibly brilliant, and immediately flew towards it.
When he saw a blindingly radiant Golden Tree, he was stunned. He seemed to know where he was.
"I actually ended up here? Is it because of the influence of the Ancient Emperor Weapon?" Yang Qing muttered to himself.
Although he had successfully entered the Starry Sky Gate before the Ancient Emperor Weapon struck, narrowly escaping death, it was still an Ancient Emperor Weapon after all.
The pressure of an Extreme Dao Ancient Emperor's might could affect the Five-Colored Altar, causing him to make a mistake during his void traversal. It wasn't impossible.
Because of this, he hadn't stepped onto the Human Race's Strongest Trial Ancient Road, but had instead unexpectedly arrived on an ancient star.
The vast universe, how immense it is. If it were an unknown ancient star, how to continue the journey would become a problem.
But this ancient star before him was different. Accidentally arriving here was a blessing, not a curse, for him.
Traveling forward for a period of time, he found a giant mountain. At the summit of the mountain was a one-armed old man.
The old man was stacking piece after piece of five-colored crystal stones, building a small Five-Colored Altar.
This was definitely it!
He had unexpectedly arrived at the place where the Sun Human Emperor had fallen. The one-armed old man before him was the Divine Thought of the Sun Divine Emperor.
Divine Thoughts were terrifying things. The Sun Divine Emperor, who was supremely divine and holy in life, would give birth to an extremely evil and wicked Divine Thought after death.
But the one-armed old man before him was different. Over the long years, he had almost dissipated, leaving only the obsession to return to his homeland.
As he cautiously approached the Five-Colored Altar, just as he had predicted, the one-armed old man showed no reaction.
"Return to my homeland, I cannot be buried in a foreign land..."
Finally, Yang Qing arrived before the one-armed old man. Such words echoed from the old man's mouth, reverberating like a mantra.
After observing the Five-Colored Altar for a moment, Yang Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Five-Colored Altar was actually complete.
It was just that because the Divine Thought had dissipated, only the obsession remained, making it impossible to activate the Five-Colored Altar and open the Starry Sky Gate.
When he injected a stream of divine power into the Five-Colored Altar, it instantly erupted with radiant light, and a small Bagua gate appeared.
He didn't immediately step onto the Five-Colored Altar. Instead, he bowed deeply to the one-armed old man, his expression solemn, and said:
"Please, Human Emperor, return to your homeland!"
He wanted to leave this ancient star and re-embark on the Strongest Trial Ancient Road. The Five-Colored Altar before him was his only chance.
But this Five-Colored Altar was the result of the Sun Human Emperor's Divine Thought's efforts over countless years. How could he leave alone?
Moreover, in the Primordial Era, the Sun Human Emperor rose to prominence, making outstanding contributions to the human race, his achievements eternal.
After the Human Emperor died, his remains drifted to a foreign land, unable to return home. How could any member of the Human Race stand idly by?
His Master passed down the True Scripture of the Sun to him. Perhaps it was fate that led him to this ancient star.
Suddenly, two brilliant beams of divine light shot from the one-armed elder's eyes, like torches, as if he had temporarily regained consciousness.
The elder extended a large hand, tearing open the earth in an instant, reaching the core of this ancient star. He pulled out a sealed stone coffin.
The Sun Human Emperor's coffin!
Yang Qing stared at the stone coffin, his eyes filled with emotion. He knew clearly that the stone coffin contained no remains of the Sun Human Emperor, only a piece of human skin.
What exactly happened back then that caused the dignified Human Emperor to not only be left with just a piece of human skin after death but also to drift to a foreign land?
There must be a great secret hidden within, possibly involving the strongest powers in the world.
His current strength was too low. Perhaps when he reached the peak in the future, he would be able to unravel this mystery.
With a loud boom, five-colored divine light surged into the sky. Yang Qing and the one-armed elder stepped onto the Five-Colored Altar, carrying the stone coffin into the Starry Sky Gate.
Yang Qing traversed the void once more, traveling through the desolate universe. However, how to reach the Ziwei Star Domain became a problem.
There was no other way! It was because the Sun Human Emperor's Divine Thought was merely a lingering obsession; he had no idea where the path ahead lay.
It was better to rely on oneself than on others. At worst, he could just cultivate for a longer period, and he would be able to traverse the void himself!
After Yang Qing cultivated for some time, the one-armed elder's gaze suddenly focused on him, his eyes shining with divine light.
