Great Yin Human Emperor!

"Once I prove Dao and become Emperor, I'll smash the Forbidden Zones of Life!" Yang Qing's face was filled with determination.

With his current strength, he could fight any Supreme who had undergone Ultimate Ascension—and defeat them.

Even two Supremes would not be a problem. With his peerless physique and powerful vitality, he could absolutely wear them to death.

But what if there were five, or even ten Supremes?

Even if Ji Xukong joined forces with him, they could fight ten Supremes—but what if there were twenty?

As long as Supremes emerged, they could not temporarily avoid their edge. If they retreated, the Supremes would unleash a Great Dark Upheaval.

Over the long ages, just how many Supremes lay dormant within the Forbidden Zones of Life remained a mystery.

But one thing was certain: the Supremes of all the Forbidden Zones of Life combined were absolutely a terrifying number.

Take Undying Mountain, for example. Even though he had already slain four Supremes, five still remained within Undying Mountain.

Moreover, Undying Mountain was not the strongest Forbidden Zone of Life. The Primordial Ancient Mine was!

Apart from the Primordial Forbidden Zone, there were seven other Forbidden Zones of Life in the world: Immortal Mausoleum, Undying Mountain, Supreme Heaven, Divine Ruins, Sea of Reincarnation, Primordial Ancient Mine, and the Underworld.

Beyond these seven Forbidden Zones of Life, other Supremes were also hidden throughout the universe, such as Great Accomplishment Overlord Bodies and Great Perfection Saint Spirits.

By that calculation, the total number of Supremes definitely exceeded sixty or seventy, perhaps even more.

What a terrifying force that was!

No wonder Emperor Venerate had been so powerful at the end of the Mythological Era, yet when the Supremes besieged him together, he could only suffer defeat.

What was more, besides the Supremes, there were other powerful figures in the world, such as the Undying Heavenly Emperor, who had always remained hidden behind the scenes.

The enemies they faced were terrifying, and the challenges ahead were severe. This left him and Ji Xukong with no choice but to work hard to improve themselves.

Great Emperors also varied in strength. If Ji Xukong could cultivate in peace, Yang Qing believed that with his ability, he could definitely continue growing stronger.

The same was true for himself. The limit of the Saint Body was not his limit. Though an impassable chasm lay before him, it could not stop him.

"Prove Dao and become Emperor? Are you confident?" Ji Xukong asked gravely.

Though he had long guessed that Yang Qing would not be content to stop here, hearing it for real still shocked him somewhat.

After attaining Alternative Dao Attainment on the foundation of a Great Accomplishment Saint Body, the only remaining possibility for further progress was to prove Dao and become Emperor.

Yet throughout the long ages, there had been more than one Great Accomplishment Saint Body, but not a single one had managed to prove Dao and become Emperor.

It was like a curse, much like the curse that prevented one from attaining Dao before five hundred years of age. How difficult would it be to break?

Besides, in this era where he had already proven Dao and become Emperor, who else could prove Dao and become Emperor?

During the Mythological Era, there had been times when multiple Great Emperors existed in the world together, but that did not mean two Great Emperors had attained Dao in the same era.

Without exaggeration, if there was still a slight possibility for a Saint Body to become Emperor, then this matter had no possibility whatsoever.

Yet coming from Yang Qing, these words were hard not to believe, because Yang Qing himself was a miracle.

Ji Xukong could not help but look forward to whether Yang Qing could create another miracle and turn the impossible into possible.

"Whether it's possible or not, I have to give it a try!" Yang Qing said resolutely.

Cultivating quickly did not mean one could break free of restraints, much less restraints imposed by heaven and earth, which were almost impossible to shatter.

But since Ye Tiandi of later generations could succeed, he firmly believed that he could do the same!

However, he did not immediately return to enter seclusion. Before that, there was still an important matter to handle.

Back in the Ziwei Star Domain, he had promised the leader of the Great Yin Divine Cult that if he had the chance, he would retrieve the Human Emperor Seal.

After his Saint Body reached Great Accomplishment, he had either been fighting or on his way to battle, never able to attend to this matter.

Countless rays of golden light sprang from beneath his feet, stretching into the depths of the universe as he once again arrived at the Strongest Trial Ancient Road.

With Ji Xukong proving Dao and becoming Emperor, the struggle for the Emperor's Road in this era had come to an end, and the Strongest Trial Ancient Road had lost its meaning as a result.

With his current strength, most things could not hide from his eyes, but that did not mean he was omnipotent.

Searching for the lost Human Emperor Seal in the vast universe was, in truth, an exceedingly difficult task.

He had just tried using the True Scripture of the Great Yin to sense the Human Emperor Seal, hoping to awaken the deity within it.

Unfortunately, he could not sense the Human Emperor Seal's location, forcing him to seek another method.

After searching carefully for some time, he finally sensed a faint aura and arrived at a hidden place.

Before him stood a blood sacrifice altar shaped like a Buddhist pagoda, faintly emanating a heart-palpitating aura.

"Amitabha Great Emperor!" Yang Qing murmured.

Amitabha Great Emperor had deeply studied the Path of Faith and walked an extremely great distance upon it. Calling him the strongest in history would not be an exaggeration in the slightest.

The blood sacrifice altar before him was precisely a pagoda personally forged by Amitabha Great Emperor, used to gather anew the Divine Thought of the Great Yin Human Emperor.

Using a secret art to preserve the Great Yin Human Emperor's Divine Thought, he observed the Great Yin Human Emperor's evil thoughts remaining in the world and peered into the mysteries of immortality.

It had to be said that Amitabha Great Emperor truly possessed astonishing talent. In the end, he had forged an extraordinary path.

Yang Qing raised a finger. A terrifying aura emerged, and a black figure appeared, demonic energy surging around it and intimidating heaven and earth.

This was the Divine Thought of the Great Yin Human Emperor. It had been trapped within the blood sacrifice altar and was now released by him.

The Great Yin Human Emperor had been supremely kind and sacred in life. It was precisely because of this that the Divine Thought he became after death was supremely wicked and evil.

Upon sensing Yang Qing's aura, the Divine Thought not only did not pounce at him, but instead trembled violently.

At that moment, the Divine Thought felt as though it faced a Great Emperor. No matter how vicious it was, it still possessed an instinctive fear.

Yang Qing pointed again, using his own power to cleanse the Divine Thought's evil thoughts. All darkness was purged.

The Divine Thought's figure nearly collapsed, replaced by a majestic and towering figure, with the power of time flowing around him.

An incomparably vast aura linked the past, present, and future. An aura of unrivaled supremacy swept across heaven and earth, shaking the eight corners of the universe.

"Greetings, Great Yin Human Emperor!" Yang Qing said, cupping his hands in salute.

The Great Yin Human Emperor had reappeared in the world!

No! To be precise, only a portion of the Great Yin Human Emperor's will had returned. It was not the Great Yin Human Emperor's resurrection.

But no matter what, the respect due to this Human Emperor whose achievements overshadowed the ages could not be lacking.

"An unforeseen change occurred upon the Immortal Ascension Path. Regret remained in my heart, and my obsession refused to disperse..."

The Great Yin Human Emperor sighed. Endless regret seemed to fill his heart, and his face was full of emotion.

Around the Great Yin Human Emperor, the Great Dao rose and fell. Heaven and Earth Rules lay beneath his feet, while Dao marks intertwined, allowing him to see through everything.

A million years passed in an instant. This was no longer the era he had belonged to. The world had changed beyond recognition; everything seemed unchanged, yet all things and people were no longer the same.

Then, his gaze settled on Yang Qing. His will had been able to return entirely because of the person before him.

"You are very good!" the Great Yin Human Emperor praised.
