In the desolate edges of the universe, Ji Xukong breathed in the essence of heaven and earth, replenishing the losses from his tribulation and bringing himself to his optimal state.
Yang Qing watched Ji Xukong. After Ji Xukong merged with the Heavenly Heart Imprint, he felt a unique, invincible Dao belonging to him alone.
He had once pondered a question: why could the Great Emperors of this era be invincible within their time?
Now he understood. Merging with the Heavenly Heart Imprint forged one's invincible Dao, suppressing all other Daos in heaven and earth.
This was equivalent to saying only one's own Dao was invincible, and all others had to be suppressed.
Even though the Supreme Beings could achieve their utmost sublimation and become perfect Ancient Emperors, in an era with a Great Emperor, the Supreme Beings' Daos were still suppressed.
Furthermore, the Great Emperor of this era could merge with heaven and earth, mobilizing the power of the entire universe for their own use.
How could anyone fight this?
After a period of time, Ji Xukong recovered to his peak state. His Great Emperor aura permeated the entire universe, his invincible presence undeniable.
"Thank you!" Ji Xukong said, cupping his hands in a salute.
When he first met Yang Qing, he had considered protecting Yang Qing's path. Who would have thought that in the end, it would be Yang Qing protecting his?
If not for Yang Qing, the Supreme Beings from the various Forbidden Zones of Life would have undoubtedly interfered during his Great Emperor Tribulation.
While he didn't fear them, a Great Emperor Tribulation was no trivial matter, and complications could easily arise.
"Let's go! It's time for revenge!" Yang Qing said.
He had never forgotten the hatred for his Master. What was suppressing an Undying Daoist, anyway?
If the Supreme Beings thought he would stop there, they were truly laughable.
"Let's go!" Ji Xukong said.
Though it was only one word, it was enough to express his determination. He had waited for this day for far too long.
To watch his Great Accomplishment Saint Body predecessor fight alone, while he could only stand by and watch – how helpless was that?
From that moment on, he had secretly vowed that once he proved his Dao and became Emperor, he would flatten the Forbidden Zones of Life.
Golden light surged beneath the feet of Yang Qing and Ji Xukong simultaneously, traversing the void and connecting the universe as they descended upon the Big Dipper Star Domain.
Without a moment's pause, the two brazenly arrived outside the Undying Mountain and resolutely stepped into this Forbidden Zone of Life.
"Void Emperor and Great Accomplishment Saint Body have joined forces to storm the Undying Mountain!"
As this news broke, the world erupted. Everyone seemed to have gone mad, their faces filled with shock.
The Great Accomplishment Saint Body had also stormed the Undying Mountain, and not long ago.
Now, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and the Void Emperor have joined forces to storm the Undying Mountain. What were they trying to do?
A forbidden zone war?
The mere thought of this possibility sent shivers down everyone's spines. It was too terrifying!
Could the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and the Void Emperor, working together, truly flatten the Undying Mountain?
The moment Yang Qing and Ji Xukong stepped into the Undying Mountain, Supreme Being auras surged from its depths, sweeping across the nine heavens and ten earths.
From the various Forbidden Zones of Life, Supreme Beings stirred, their gazes piercing through the void and converging on the Undying Mountain.
What the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and the Void Emperor intended to do would directly determine their subsequent attitudes.
"Stone Emperor, you can't hide this time. Come out and fight me!" Yang Qing said coldly, his voice shaking heaven and earth.
Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its owner. The Stone Emperor was the master of the Undying Mountain, and all matters were surely linked to him.
Last time, the Undying Daoist was pushed out to take the blame. This time, the Stone Emperor wouldn't be so lucky!
"Youngster, you are too arrogant. Do you really think you can flatten all the Forbidden Zones of Life?"
From the depths of the Undying Mountain, a Supreme Being roared. He wanted to use this to remind the other Forbidden Zones of Life not to stand idly by.
The combined might of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and the Void Emperor was already a force that even Supreme Beings feared immensely.
Now that the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and the Void Emperor could storm the Undying Mountain, who could guarantee they wouldn't storm other Forbidden Zones of Life?
Extending their own lives and existing eternally, waiting for the path to immortality to open – the Supreme Beings were united on this point.
"Someone from the Undying Mountain pursued me and wielded a Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Halberd. Do you really think I don't know that's your Ancient Emperor Weapon?" Yang Qing roared.
His attitude was incredibly dominant, his voice like thunder, echoing through heaven and earth, transforming into invisible Dao waves that caused the black mountains within the Undying Mountain to collapse one after another.
He couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He knew very well that the Supreme Being of the Undying Mountain had spoken those words to drag other Supreme Beings into the fray.
But the Supreme Beings in the other Forbidden Zones of Life were not fools. Why would they risk their necks for the Undying Mountain at this time?
The Great Accomplishment Saint Body and a Great Emperor of the human race joining forces – any Forbidden Zone would have to weigh the consequences carefully.
Moreover, the various Forbidden Zones of Life were not united. Some even harbored animosity towards each other.
Wouldn't it be more satisfying to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?
If the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and the Void Emperor were defeated, not only would the Undying Mountain be weakened, but they could also get a share of the spoils.
If the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and the Void Emperor won, the Undying Mountain was not a decoration. Wouldn't the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and the Void Emperor have to pay a price?
The Supreme Beings were formulating their clever plans, but how could he let them have their way?
"You juniors are too arrogant, trying to force me out of seclusion? If we fight, you'll be the one to die!" The Stone Emperor's indifferent voice echoed.
Yang Qing let out a cold laugh, his response direct. He strode into the depths of the Undying Mountain, unleashing his overwhelming blood energy to suppress everything.
The Stone Emperor had said all that, hadn't he? He simply didn't want to come out and fight him, so Yang Qing would force him to.
The Supreme Beings of the Undying Mountain roared in anger, their gazes toward the Great Accomplishment Saint Body filled with icy hatred, wishing they could tear him limb from limb.
Ji Xukong let out a cold snort and also entered the depths of the Undying Mountain, his extreme imperial might permeating the area, suppressing heaven and earth.
"Stone Emperor, you're old. You don't even have the courage to fight!"
Yang Qing didn't give the Stone Emperor any more chances. The Six Paths Reincarnation Fist surged like a tidal wave, shattering the immortal source that sealed the Stone Emperor.
Afterward, he ascended into the sky and flew toward the desolate edges of the universe. He wasn't afraid that the Stone Emperor wouldn't come.
The Stone Emperor's expression was indifferent. Wielding the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Halberd, he pointed it at Yang Qing, his terrifying killing intent seeming to freeze time and space.
Yang Qing didn't want to fight within the Undying Mountain, lest it affect the innocent. The Stone Emperor also didn't want to destroy the Undying Mountain with a battle.
Deep within the Undying Mountain, Ji Xukong remained unmoved, watching the remaining Supreme Beings. His overwhelming aura only intensified.
His goal was simple: to deter the Supreme Beings of the various Forbidden Zones of Life with his own power, preventing them from interfering in this battle.
As for the fight between Yang Qing and the Stone Emperor, he had absolute confidence in Yang Qing!
In the desolate edges of the universe, the Stone Emperor arrived, his Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Halberd cleaving down. Dark light shocked the world, tearing through eternity and illuminating the star river.
A "buzzing" sound rang out as the dragon patterns emerged, transforming into a dark dragon that soared into the sky, lunging at Yang Qing.
The Ancient Emperor Weapon fully revived, the dark dragon lifelike, as if real. This was the ultimate strike of an Emperor.
Yang Qing, wielding the Sky-Supporting Sword, neither dodged nor weaved. With a single sword strike, he cleaved through the nine heavens. Sword Qi crisscrossed thirty thousand miles, directly striking the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Halberd.
"Clang!"
In the world-shattering collision, terrifying power intertwined. This peerless battle was incredibly fierce from the very beginning!
