The new Great Accomplishment Saint Body had slain two Supremes, and everyone was still reeling from the shock.
Just then, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body crossed the void, making no effort to conceal his aura as he headed toward the Big Dipper Star Domain.
What was the Great Accomplishment Saint Body planning to do?
One had to know that the seven Forbidden Zones of Life were located in the Big Dipper Star Domain!
The universe instantly erupted into an uproar. Countless people discussed the matter, all speculating about the Great Accomplishment Saint Body's intentions.
"The Great Accomplishment Saint Body has gone to the Big Dipper Star Domain. He has already slain two Supremes; is that still not enough?"
"How terrifying! A world-shaking battle may erupt again today. Isn't the Great Accomplishment Saint Body being too rash?"
"The Forbidden Zones of Life have existed since ancient times. How could the Great Accomplishment Saint Body possibly contend against all of them by himself?"
No one denied the Great Accomplishment Saint Body's strength. Slaying two Supremes in succession was the best proof.
But the Great Accomplishment Saint Body had just gone through a world-shaking battle. How could he not have suffered any depletion?
At a time like this, shouldn't he first recuperate and then proceed gradually?
The Great Accomplishment Saint Body was too hasty. Haste easily led to trouble, and no one could predict what would happen next.
At the same time, within the various Forbidden Zones of Life in the Big Dipper Star Domain, the Supremes all turned their attention toward him.
The Great Accomplishment Saint Body was coming to the Big Dipper Star Domain. Did he refuse to let matters rest and intend to settle accounts with them?
After all, quite a few Supremes had attacked while the Great Accomplishment Saint Body was undergoing his tribulation.
"Arrogant! Does he truly think he can contend against us all by himself?"
They did not wish to fight the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, but that did not mean they could allow themselves to be bullied.
Over the long years, quite a few human Great Emperors had tried, but the result was that the Forbidden Zones of Life still endured.
The Supremes all watched the Great Accomplishment Saint Body with icy gazes. They wanted to see what he intended to do.
Yang Qing had already pushed his speed to the limit. His master was the only thing on his mind; how could he care what anyone else thought?
"Master, you must hold on!"
Yang Qing was frantic because his master's condition had already become extremely dire. He had fallen unconscious.
His master had already entered his twilight years. His vital essence and blood had declined, and he had little lifespan remaining.
Under such circumstances, even if he did not fight the Supremes, his master would not last much longer before passing away on his own.
What was more, to ensure Yang Qing successfully underwent his tribulation, his master had forcibly raised his vital essence and blood and battled two Supremes for some time.
It was no exaggeration to say that his master was now utterly exhausted, sustained by only a single breath and liable to pass away at any moment.
He could not possibly watch his master die helplessly, yet even though his Saint Body had reached Great Accomplishment, he could not save his master.
After thinking it over and over, there was likely only one possibility in the entire universe that could temporarily preserve his master's life.
Protecting his master with his own vital essence and blood, Yang Qing rushed into the Big Dipper Star Domain at tremendous speed. With each step spanning hundreds of millions of miles, he arrived in the Eastern Wasteland.
"He actually went to the Primordial Forbidden Zone!"
When the Great Accomplishment Saint Body headed toward the Big Dipper Star Domain, especially when he set foot in the Eastern Wasteland, the Supremes had already prepared themselves for battle.
Yet no one had expected the Great Accomplishment Saint Body to choose the Primordial Forbidden Zone!
Among the seven Forbidden Zones of Life in the Big Dipper, the Primordial Forbidden Zone was the most unique, fundamentally different from the others.
"So that's it. He wants to save the Great Accomplishment Saint Body!"
The Supremes quickly saw through the truth. A new Great Accomplishment Saint Body had been born, while the older Great Accomplishment Saint Body was about to pass away.
A Supreme sneered. The Great Accomplishment Saint Body was placing his hopes in the Primordial Forbidden Zone; it was simply idiotic.
They had always been wary of the Primordial Forbidden Zone. If a conflict could erupt, that would naturally be ideal.
The moment Yang Qing entered the Primordial Forbidden Zone, he immediately sensed an inexplicable force suffused with the aura of time.
If an ordinary person accidentally entered the Primordial Forbidden Zone, they would be affected by this mysterious force, growing old in the blink of an eye.
It did not affect him much now, and he soon reached the depths of the Primordial Forbidden Zone.
Before him stood nine sacred mountains, towering and majestic, with ancient trees reaching into the sky. They were an extraordinarily magnificent sight.
At the center of the nine sacred mountains lay a vast abyss, pitch-black and impossible to see to the end.
Yang Qing glanced at his barely breathing master, drew a deep breath, and resolutely stepped onto a sacred mountain.
"Please, seniors, preserve my master's life. I will surely repay this favor in the future!" Yang Qing said, clasping his hands in salute.
Why did he address two people as seniors? One was naturally the Ruthless Great Emperor, while the other was a Great Accomplishment Saint Body.
When the human race had no Great Emperor, the Nine Great Saint Bodies Battle the Heavens. This had happened during a certain era in the past.
Generation after generation of Great Accomplishment Saint Bodies had fallen. Aside from his master, there was actually another Great Accomplishment Saint Body who had not died.
The Primordial Forbidden Zone had been established by that Great Accomplishment Saint Body, though the Ruthless Great Emperor later took control of it.
It was precisely because of the Ruthless Great Emperor that the Great Accomplishment Saint Body had been able to extend his life and endure through countless years.
His master had already exhausted his lamp oil. Even if a Great Emperor were resurrected, they likely could not extend his master's life.
But what a Great Emperor could not do did not mean the Ruthless Great Emperor could not. After all, there was a living example right before him.
He knew this was an extremely risky choice, because the Ruthless Great Emperor was not someone easy to reason with.
Moreover, because she was continuously transforming, the Ruthless Great Emperor was not in good condition. At times she was muddled, at times lucid.
The Great Accomplishment Saint Body who had survived because of the Ruthless Great Emperor was the same, dazed and muddled, unable to maintain a clear will.
But as long as there was a chance to save his master, even if it meant certain death, he had to take this gamble!
"Clatter!"
A burly figure emerged from the abyss, covered in golden fur and bound in shackles.
He looked like a demon god, terrifying beyond measure. Thick mist enveloped him, obscuring his features.
Yang Qing sensed surging vital essence and blood, an aura originating from the same source as his own. He knew the Great Accomplishment Saint Body had arrived.
The Great Accomplishment Saint Body came to Yang Qing's side, picked up the unconscious Li Quan, and returned to the abyss.
From beginning to end, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and Yang Qing did not exchange a single word. He seemed to possess no consciousness, driven only by some instinct.
Just then, mist spread from within the abyss. A slender figure stood there, peerless and aloof, her long hair cascading loose around her.
She was a woman who stood apart from the world, with incomparable grace. Like an immortal standing proudly above the boundless mortal world, she carried an astonishing presence.
Ruthless Great Emperor!
It was only a fleeting glance back, yet it made Yang Qing's heart pound with terror.
The Ruthless Great Emperor, walking the path of transformation into a Mortal World Immortal, was indeed incomparably terrifying, far beyond any Supreme.
Yang Qing bowed in salute. Since the Ruthless Great Emperor had accepted his master, there was still hope.
As long as his master's life could be temporarily preserved, Yang Qing would restore him to perfect health, even if he had to scour the highest heavens and descend into the Yellow Springs.
He could not do it now, but that did not mean he would be unable to do so in the future.
The mist beneath the abyss surged forth and swallowed everything, hiding it from sight. Yang Qing turned and left.
His master was gravely injured and on the verge of death. Today's matter was not over yet!
