Join Me in Battling the Immortal Ascension Path!

The Great Yin Human Emperor smiled at Yang Qing, his eyes filled with approval. This was the Sacred Body of their human race!

During the Primordial Era, when he had proven Dao and become Human Emperor, humanity had held a low status and struggled to survive. This was what he had found hardest to let go of before his death.

Who could have imagined that, with the end of the Primordial Era and the beginning of the Ancient Desolate Era, one human prodigy after another would prove Dao and become Great Emperor?

During the era of the human Great Emperors, humanity reached unprecedented glory, using one race to suppress all races and writing an immortal legend!

Yet being born in this era was equally difficult. The Supremes emerged one after another, and Great Dark Upheavals erupted frequently.

Before them, human Great Emperors suppressed the Forbidden Zones of Life. After them, the nine Sacred Bodies fought bloody battles beneath the heavens. World-shaking wars could erupt at any time.

Part of his true spirit had returned by chance. Originally, he had merely intended to see whether Amitabha Great Emperor's gathering of faith power would harm all living beings.

With what little time he had left, he had also wished to leave behind a legacy. But with Yang Qing here, none of that was necessary.

Yang Qing's assessment of Amitabha Great Emperor was incisive. Awakening him had been meant to help preserve the legacy he had left behind.

He still had regrets. He had failed to see the Immortal Ascension Path open, but at this moment, he suddenly felt enlightened.

Humanity's bloodline was continuing and flourishing. That was far more meaningful. Perhaps this was his own Immortal Ascension Path, filled with infinite hope.

There was not much time left. As a senior of the human race, it was time for him to give off the last of his warmth and make further contributions for humanity's younger generations.

The Great Yin Human Emperor took a single step, and the stars shifted in an instant. A golden path unfurled before him, filled with dazzling, magnificent phenomena.

"The Human Emperor has gone to Undying Mountain!"

The Great Yin Human Emperor was the first to arrive at Undying Mountain, causing every Supreme within it to feel as if facing a great enemy and become incomparably tense.

However, the Great Yin Human Emperor did not attack. He merely released brilliant radiance from his body, illuminating the depths of Undying Mountain.

Deep within Undying Mountain, beneath that world-shaking light, five Supremes sealed within Immortal Source were instantly left with nowhere to hide.

The Great Yin Human Emperor did not remain in Undying Mountain for long. He swiftly arrived at the next Forbidden Zone of Life, Divine Ruins, and repeated the same process.

The Sea of Reincarnation, Heaven's Above, Immortal Mausoleum, and the Primordial Ancient Mine—the Great Yin Human Emperor entered them one by one, illuminating everything with world-shaking brilliance.

One Supreme after another appeared before Yang Qing, giving him his first comprehensive understanding of the strength of the Big Dipper Star Domain's six great Forbidden Zones of Life.

Just as he had guessed, over the long years, the number of Supremes lurking within the Forbidden Zones of Life had reached an astonishing extent.

The Big Dipper Star Domain's six great Forbidden Zones of Life alone held more than sixty Supremes. What a terrifying number that was!

If the Underworld and the Supremes lurking throughout the cosmos were included as well, wouldn't the number of Supremes very likely exceed one hundred?

Trying to crush the Forbidden Zones of Life and kill every Supreme would be extraordinarily difficult!

Yet Yang Qing remained resolute. He merely committed each and every Supreme to memory. In the future, not a single one of them would escape.

In the end, the Great Yin Human Emperor arrived outside the Primordial Forbidden Zone. As he gazed at this Forbidden Zone of Life, a rare trace of gravity appeared on his face.

He did not hesitate for long before entering the Primordial Forbidden Zone and arriving at the Divine Source beside Sacred Cliff. The world-shaking light illuminated everything.

The Ruthless Great Emperor, bound all over by chains; the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, covered in golden fur and likewise restrained.

"Master!" Yang Qing muttered.

Within the world-shaking radiance, he saw his master's figure. He appeared unconscious, yet his aura was relatively steady.

He could not help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. As expected, he had gambled correctly. In this world, only the Ruthless Great Emperor could possibly save his master.

There was no helping it! The Ruthless Great Emperor's elder brother had been a Sacred Body!

If not for that, given the Ruthless Great Emperor's temperament, even if he smashed his head open kowtowing, she would probably remain indifferent.

The Great Yin Human Emperor solemnly nodded to the Ruthless Great Emperor, then glanced back at Yang Qing. His face was filled with a gratified smile.

A gentle breeze stirred. A shower of brilliant light rained down, and that majestic, towering figure vanished completely, dissipating within space-time.

A peerless Human Emperor of a generation—even with part of his true spirit returned, he could not endure for long. In the end, he was still destined to scatter between heaven and earth.

Yang Qing watched as the Great Yin Human Emperor turned into a rain of light and faded away. His gaze gradually became firm. This was an Ancient Emperor of humanity!

He had once heard a saying: all true human Great Emperors were dead!

Across the long river of time, countless Dao achievers had slashed themselves once, becoming Supremes and taking control of the Forbidden Zones of Life.

Whether the Great Yin and Great Yang Human Emperors or the human Great Emperors who came later, they too could have done the same.

They could have used countless living beings as nourishment to extend their own lives, silently waiting for the Immortal Ascension Path to open and for a glimpse of hope for immortality.

But the human Great Emperors made a different choice. They sought not immortality, but only to shelter all living beings and protect humanity!

One human Great Emperor after another fought Supremes and quelled Great Dark Upheavals. This was something unprecedented.

In the Great Yin Human Emperor, he saw selflessness. He saw compassion for all living beings. Perhaps that was the reason!

Within the various Forbidden Zones of Life, when the Supremes saw the Great Yin Human Emperor turn into a rain of light and disappear, every one of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and the Great Yin Human Emperor had descended upon the Big Dipper Star Domain together, they had truly feared that another world-shaking war would erupt.

There was no helping it! The Great Accomplishment Saint Body was simply a madman. No one knew how outrageous his actions might become.

Now, although it had only been a false alarm, they had already had enough of living in such fear!

Meanwhile, Yang Qing quickly found Ji Xukong in the Big Dipper Star Domain. The first thing he said upon seeing Ji Xukong was:

"Join me in battling the Immortal Ascension Path!"

He had originally planned to wait until he had proven Dao and become Great Emperor, gaining sufficient strength, before battling the Immortal Ascension Path.

But the Great Yin Human Emperor had been so selfless, still burning himself away at the final moment. How could Yang Qing continue waiting?

The Great Yin Human Emperor's achievements overshadowed eternity, yet his corpse remained upon the Immortal Ascension Path, unable to return home. Things should not be this way!

"Good!" Ji Xukong softly spoke a single word.

Battling the Immortal Ascension Path—only five words, yet the meaning they carried was beyond imagination.

Across the endless ages, how many people had been able to battle the Immortal Ascension Path?

He did not know why Yang Qing wished to battle the Immortal Ascension Path, but he had witnessed everything Yang Qing had done.

When part of the Great Yin Human Emperor's true spirit and will returned and descended upon the Big Dipper Star Domain, he had not gone to disturb him, all because of his trust in Yang Qing.

It was the same now. Since Yang Qing wanted to battle the Immortal Ascension Path, there had to be a reason why it must be done.

Wasn't it only natural for him to lend Yang Qing a hand?

Yang Qing did not conceal anything. He explained how the Great Yin Human Emperor had battled the Immortal Ascension Path in his later years, suffered an accident, and died upon the Immortal Ascension Path.

Ji Xukong's expression gradually turned solemn. He knew Yang Qing would not act without reason. Sure enough, that was the truth!

To bring the Human Emperor's soul home, we of humanity could not shirk this duty!

So what if they had to battle the Immortal Ascension Path?
