Although he already had a plan in mind, Ying Hao did not act immediately. Instead, he began cultivating in seclusion.
Although he had already proved Dao and become Emperor, theoretically speaking, he was invincible in the world. But in reality, that was not the case.
Because the laws of Heaven and Earth had changed, even Heavenly Venerates and Ancient Emperors would one day grow old, unable to attain eternal life.
Having already become invincible powerhouses of the world, none of them were willing to fade away in obscurity. Becoming an immortal had thus become their only choice.
Throughout the endless years since ancient times, countless peerless powerhouses had made one attempt after another to become immortals.
In his view, all attempts to become immortal ultimately fell into two categories!
One was believing oneself to be lacking in ability and unable to transform into an immortal amid the mortal world, leaving one with no choice but to wait for the Immortal Ascension Path to open.
The Supremes in the Forbidden Zones were in this situation!
The other was refusing to lie dormant and believing oneself capable of defying Heaven, attempting to forcefully become an immortal amid the mortal world.
Those who chose this path were generally dazzling geniuses. Even among Heavenly Venerates and Ancient Emperors, they were top-tier powerhouses.
Some of these people had already failed, such as the former Lingbao Heavenly Venerate and Battle Saint Sovereign.
But there were also dazzling powerhouses who had continuously transformed amid the mortal world. Although they had not yet become immortals, they had already endured alongside the world.
Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerate Cao Yusheng, Emperor Zun, Undying Heavenly Emperor, and Divine Emperor had all embarked on the path of transforming into Mortal World Immortals.
Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerate and Divine Emperor could be disregarded for now, but Emperor Zun and Undying Heavenly Emperor were existences he had to pay attention to.
Especially Undying Heavenly Emperor. He had transformed by bathing in the blood of Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors, and had already attacked quite a few Ancient Emperors.
His constitution was very special. Would Undying Heavenly Emperor let him off?
After forcefully attaining the Dao, he already had a very clear idea of the path he would take next.
He had shattered the Heavenly Heart Imprint and trampled the myriad Heavenly Dao beneath his feet. Since he had overcome such a difficult step, how could he stop moving forward now?
Since he had already come to the Shrouding the Heavens world, how could he remain trapped in this universe without seeing the broader heavens and earth?
The Mortal World Immortal realm was only the beginning. Above the Mortal World Immortal realm were the realms of Immortal Kings, Quasi-Immortal Emperors, Immortal Emperors, and Sacrifice Dao.
"The road ahead is long and far; I shall seek high and low!"
One had to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time. He had only just proved Dao and become Emperor, and his era had only just begun.
By constantly exploring, learning from the experience of those who came before him, and adding his own efforts, he was destined to carve out a path that defied Heaven.
Time flowed on. In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed, and Ying Hao finally finished sorting out his cultivation and walked out of seclusion.
His gaze pierced through the void. In Tanggu Valley, the Sun God Temple shone brilliantly, with the power of faith condensing within it.
Because of him, countless living beings throughout the universe had begun worshipping the Sun Human Emperor, and the power of faith gathered there was enormous.
Although only a hundred years had passed, the golden body of the Sun Human Emperor already possessed extraordinary grandeur.
If things continued developing this way, even if the Sun Human Emperor could not reappear in the world, perhaps he could become like Amitabha the Great Emperor.
He could endure alongside the world through a Faith Body, just like a living Great Emperor!
"This is not the Dao I seek!" Ying Hao shook his head and sighed.
Enduring alongside the world through a Faith Body might seem like an alternative form of eternal life, but a Faith Body was ultimately not one's true self.
True immortality meant transforming both spirit and flesh, ultimately becoming untouched by the passage of time and attaining eternal life.
A Golden Light Grand Dao unfurled, stretching from the Ziwei Star Domain to the Big Dipper Star Domain. Ultimate Emperor Might filled the starry universe.
A Great Emperor was setting out. Emperor Qi filled a hundred thousand zhang, shaking the entire world, and the eyes of the whole universe instantly converged on Ying Hao.
"Haotian the Great Emperor is heading toward the Big Dipper. What is he going to do?"
"After remaining silent for a hundred years, is Haotian the Great Emperor going to seek revenge?"
"Hurry! Could another terrifying divine battle be about to erupt?"
A hundred years ago, when Haotian the Great Emperor had forcefully attained the Dao, quite a few Supremes from the Forbidden Zones had attacked him.
Afterward, although Haotian the Great Emperor had traversed all the major Forbidden Zones, no earth-shaking battle had broken out.
Everyone had thought the matter was over, but Haotian the Great Emperor was now heading toward the Big Dipper Star Domain without the slightest attempt at concealment.
Had he already recovered to his peak and was now going to wage war against the major Forbidden Zones?
In the major Forbidden Zones, the Supremes were awakened from their slumber. Their gazes turned cold as they looked toward the approaching Golden Light Grand Dao.
"Just a mere junior, and he really thinks he's invincible in the world?"
"He has merely gained the upper hand for now! If he truly presses us, his end will certainly be miserable!"
"So what if he is as powerful as Emperor Zun? He is ultimately only an inconspicuous wave amid the endless years!"
Although they spoke this way, their cautious attitudes made it easy to see that they were not actually as calm as they appeared.
They had all witnessed Haotian the Great Emperor's strength and knew that he was a rare peerless powerhouse.
Unless absolutely necessary, none of them was willing to wage war against such an existence.
A True Dragon soared through the sky, an Immortal Phoenix circled overhead, and a Black Tortoise paved the way... Streaks of auspicious radiance and divine splendor formed a Golden Light Grand Dao.
Ying Hao strode along the Golden Light Grand Dao. Dao light flickered, transforming into thunderous roars from the Ninth Heaven, while Heaven and Earth descended with extraordinary visions for him.
With one step, the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers all fell behind. Dao Patterns emerged beneath his feet, and each step covered hundreds of thousands of li.
Piercing through the starry sky, the Golden Light Grand Dao and all kinds of visions of Heaven and Earth descended alongside him into the Big Dipper Star Domain, incomparably overbearing.
The invincible might of the current Great Emperor was displayed without a doubt at this moment!
When Ying Hao descended into the Big Dipper Star Domain, he did not care in the slightest about the gazes from the Forbidden Zones.
In fact, he could have come quietly, but as the current Great Emperor, he naturally had to arrive openly and aboveboard.
The Supremes in the Forbidden Zones were not enough to make him wary, much less force him to deliberately conceal himself.
So what if he revealed his aura without the slightest restraint, resplendent like the sun, and forcefully descended into the Big Dipper Star Domain?
Sensing Ying Hao's imposing presence, the Supremes in the major Forbidden Zones all fell silent.
Although they were somewhat angry, as invincible powerhouses of the world, when had they ever been so looked down upon?
But for them to act at this moment was absolutely impossible!
Whoever wanted to go could go. In any case, no one was willing to take the initiative to fight a mighty Great Emperor at this time!
After descending into the Big Dipper Star Domain, Ying Hao first set foot on the land of the Eastern Wasteland. Countless living beings sensed the aura of the land and all prostrated themselves in worship.
He strolled across the land of the Eastern Wasteland, his divine sense sweeping through its depths, but the result left him deeply disappointed.
Even with his current strength, he still failed to discover any trace of the Bronze Immortal Palace.
However, he did not care. Although the Bronze Immortal Palace could not be found, the Desolate Pagoda left clues to follow.
After traversing the Eastern Wasteland, he inevitably passed by a Forbidden Zone, but this time he did not enter it.
The Supremes in the major Forbidden Zones all secretly breathed sighs of relief. It seemed that Haotian the Great Emperor had not come looking for trouble.
Since that was the case, why had Haotian the Great Emperor descended into the Big Dipper Star Domain so openly, and what exactly was he here for?
