The Lunar Human Emperor returned, his form immense, his voice solemn, possessing an aura that shook the ancient and shone through the present, his bearing majestic.
But at this very moment, the Lunar Human Emperor was not the only one in the world; he even paled in comparison to another.
For before the Human Emperor stood a Great Emperor, the sole one of this era!
What returned of the Lunar Human Emperor was merely a fragment of his will; he was, after all, just a Divine Thought, not the true Human Emperor.
Yet, the Human Emperor felt no loss. Instead, he was exceptionally gratified, for the person before him was a Great Emperor of the human race.
After him, humanity had gained another who achieved the Dao. My Dao is not solitary; humanity is eternal!
"Please enter the divine temple, Human Emperor. Your return to the world is assured in the future!" Ying Hao bowed respectfully and said.
He held immense admiration for both Human Emperors; it was an indelible mark flowing in his bloodline.
Even with the slimmest possibility, he would do everything in his power to help the two Human Emperors return.
Even if he ultimately failed, he believed that being able to protect humanity with his faith-body would be what the two Human Emperors desired.
A flicker of loneliness crossed the Lunar Human Emperor's eyes. After his gaze swept through ten thousand years, he had seen through everything.
Well done, Sun Human Emperor!
Not only did he uphold a piece of humanity's sky like myself, but he also had such an outstanding descendant.
As a descendant of the Human Emperor, to forcefully achieve the Dao in an era where it was impossible, setting an unprecedented precedent since ancient times – how astonishingly talented!
The student surpasses the master; humanity is truly blessed to have such a descendant!
"If I cannot become an Immortal, I shall protect humanity with my remaining body!"
The Lunar Human Emperor walked step by step towards the Lunar Human Emperor's divine temple. He sought no personal return, only to protect humanity.
This was the responsibility of a Human Emperor; even if only a wisp of will remained after the passage of time, it had never been forgotten.
The Lunar Human Emperor's Divine Thought slowly merged into the golden body, exactly like the Divine Thought of the Sun Human Emperor from before.
Thus, the Lunar Temple, like the Sun God Temple, would have its Human Emperor faith-body preserved in the world, solely for the protection of humanity.
Just as the Lunar Human Emperor's Divine Thought began to fade, his voice echoed in Ying Hao's ears once more.
"Beware of the Undying Heavenly Emperor!"
Ying Hao's expression grew stern. It was indeed the Undying Heavenly Emperor!
He had originally speculated that the Lunar Human Emperor might have lived more than one life, a suspicion now confirmed by this Divine Thought.
The Lunar Human Emperor might have lived for a third life, ultimately choosing to fight on the Immortal Ascension Path, attempting to break into the Immortal Realm.
Although this was destined to fail, failing before the constraints of heaven and earth was fundamentally different from failing at the hands of a cunning schemer.
Clearly, the Undying Heavenly Emperor was such a schemer!
As the creator of the Primordial Era, the Undying Heavenly Emperor was indeed astonishingly talented, living up to his name as a peerless expert.
Yet, such a peerless expert enjoyed striking from the shadows, ambushing ancient emperors and great emperors in their twilight years.
When the Lunar Ancient Emperor fought on the Immortal Ascension Path, the Undying Heavenly Emperor ambushed him. When the Battle Saint Sovereign fought on the Immortal Ascension Path, the Undying Heavenly Emperor still ambushed him.
Other ancient emperors in their later years were likely also ambushed by the Undying Heavenly Emperor, providing him with Imperial Blood.
If he were the Undying Heavenly Emperor, even if he sought the path of transformation through bathing in Imperial Blood, he would never act like the Undying Heavenly Emperor.
If he needed the blood of ancient emperors and great emperors, he would simply take it openly; why would he need to hide in the shadows and ambush?
With such dark methods, even if the Undying Heavenly Emperor became a Mortal World Immortal, he would ultimately achieve little!
However, with the Lunar Human Emperor's warning, he became even more certain that the Undying Heavenly Emperor would definitely make a move against him.
Moreover, given the Undying Heavenly Emperor's personality, he likely wouldn't act during his first life's twilight.
Perfect. He also wanted to see how much the Undying Heavenly Emperor had transformed by now.
Once again, he sat in Tanggu Valley, at the golden point of Yin Yang division, silently comprehending the changes of Yin Yang.
Time flowed like water. Within Ying Hao's body, that trace of Taiyin power was gradually growing stronger.
Pure Yang cannot give birth. When the Sacred Sun Physique transformed to its limit, Ying Hao could advance no further, unsure how to evolve.
Constantly excavating the potential of the human body and re-cultivating the human body's secret realms was one method, but it was a long and arduous process.
He had little time left. His chances of using the re-cultivation of a certain secret realm to live out a second life were likely slim.
The transformation of extreme Yang into extreme Yin was his opportunity. After the birth of that trace of Taiyin power, it was now showing initial results.
Introducing a trace of extreme Yin into extreme Yang was like adding a drop of ink to clear water; everything became different.
Yin and Yang complement each other, and the world will hail you as Emperor!
That trace of Taiyin nourished the Taiyang, pushing the Sacred Sun Physique to a new peak and slowly altering the physique.
Concurrently, as he comprehended the transformation of extreme Yang into extreme Yin, his Imperial Artifact, the Heavenly Dao Record, was also continuously evolving.
Using the Heaven-Opening Mark to interpret the true meaning of creation, a vast world was born from the boundless chaos.
This vast world, though supreme, was primordial, with all things still in the process of evolution.
Because of Ying Hao's own Dao, this vast world contained the True Sun Fire, which was incredibly blazing, like a world of lava.
As Ying Hao comprehended Yin Yang, the vast world gradually transformed, with intense heat no longer being the sole theme.
Yin Yang had not yet reached balance, but it had begun to interact, evolving the profound mysteries of all creation.
Yang energy ascended, hanging high in the nine heavens, brilliant like the Great Sun. Although the Yin energy was weak, it gradually sank to form the earth.
Heaven and Earth had just opened, with Yin and Yang interacting, and Heaven and Earth began to take shape. This was undoubtedly a historic moment.
It was no exaggeration to say that from this moment on, the Heavenly Dao Record had begun to transcend the scope of an Ultimate Emperor Weapon.
If the Great Desolation world continued to evolve, the Heavenly Dao Record would not be an Ultimate Emperor Weapon, but a world-suppressing Immortal Artifact.
On this day, outside the Ziwei Star Domain, the void trembled, and a figure manifested. It was Cao Yusheng, who had been traveling the universe for many years.
"This Daoist master is finally back!" Cao Yusheng looked at the Ziwei Star Domain, his eyes filled with emotion.
To reincarnate in this era, according to his original plan, after thousands of years of tempering, he would be able to achieve the Dao.
Who knew that such a monstrous talent like Ying Hao would appear in the world, forcefully achieving the Dao in an era where it was impossible.
Ying Hao was like the Great Sun hanging in the sky; others had no hope of achieving the Dao. Even if Ying Hao perished, his Great Dao would suppress Heaven and Earth for ten thousand years.
Since he could not achieve the Dao, he could only seek another path. After traveling the universe for many years, he was close to achieving an alternative form of enlightenment.
All of this was thanks to Ying Hao, who had given him the opportunity to cultivate Yin Yang, allowing his progress to be so smooth.
Precisely because of this, he had returned this time to repay Ying Hao's favor.
"Don't say this Daoist master doesn't look out for you!"
Cao Yusheng muttered to himself as he walked towards the Ziwei Star Domain. He had gone to great lengths this time.
There was no other way! He owed Ying Hao too great a debt of gratitude, and this time it might not be enough to repay it all.
He headed towards Tanggu Valley with practiced ease. As he approached, Cao Yusheng froze.
"Holy crap! He's not actually going to become an Immortal, is he?"
This was not the first time he had exclaimed this, but what he saw before him made him unable to help but be utterly shocked.
