The Lunar Human Emperor had returned. He was tall and imposing, his voice dignified, and his presence so mighty that it shook the ages.

But at that moment, the Lunar Human Emperor was not the only one in the world. In fact, he paled in comparison before another person.

Because standing before the Human Emperor was a Great Emperor—the only one of this era!

What had returned was only part of the Lunar Human Emperor's will. In the end, he was merely a Divine Thought, not the true Human Emperor.

Yet the Human Emperor felt no disappointment. Instead, he was exceptionally gratified, because the person before him was a Great Emperor of the Human Race.

After him, the Human Race had produced another Dao Achiever. My Dao is not lonely. The Human Race will prosper forever!

"Please enter the divine temple, Human Emperor. In the future, you will surely reappear in this world!" Ying Hao bowed and said.

He was filled with reverence for the two Human Emperors. It was a mark flowing through his bloodline, impossible to erase.

Even if there were only the slightest possibility, he would do everything in his power to help the two Human Emperors return.

Even if he truly failed in the end, protecting the Human Race through a Faith Body would surely be what the two Human Emperors wished for.

A trace of loneliness flashed through the Lunar Human Emperor's eyes. With a single turn of his gaze, he had seen through ten thousand years and understood everything.

What an impressive Sun Human Emperor!

Not only had he supported a portion of the Human Race's sky just as he had, but he also had such an outstanding descendant.

As a descendant of a Human Emperor, he had forcibly achieved the Dao in an era when doing so was impossible, opening a precedent never seen before. How astonishing and dazzling!

The student had surpassed the teacher. With such a descendant, the Human Race truly deserved a toast!

"Since I cannot become an immortal, I shall protect the Human Race with my broken body!"

The Lunar Human Emperor walked step by step toward the Lunar Human Emperor Temple. He did not seek to return one day; he only sought to protect the Human Race.

This was the responsibility of a Human Emperor. Even after the passage of time had left him with only a wisp of will, he had still never forgotten it.

The Lunar Human Emperor's Divine Thought slowly merged into the golden body, exactly like the Sun Human Emperor's Divine Thought had done before.

From this point onward, the Lunar Temple would be just like the Sun God Temple. The Human Emperor's Faith Body would endure in the world forever, solely to protect the Human Race.

Just as the Lunar Human Emperor's Divine Thought was gradually fading, his voice rang out beside Ying Hao's ear once more.

"Beware of the Undying Heavenly Emperor!"

Ying Hao's expression turned solemn. So it really was the Undying Heavenly Emperor!

He had originally guessed that the Lunar Human Emperor might have lived more than one lifetime. That point had now been verified by the Divine Thought.

The Lunar Human Emperor had very likely lived a third lifetime, then resolutely embarked on the Immortal Ascension Path, intending to break into the Immortal Domain.

Although he was destined to fail, losing to the shackles of Heaven and Earth was fundamentally different from losing to that treacherous old bastard.

Clearly, the Undying Heavenly Emperor was a treacherous old bastard!

As the founder of the Primordial Era, the Undying Heavenly Emperor was indeed astonishingly talented and worthy of his reputation as an unparalleled powerhouse.

Yet such an unparalleled powerhouse actually enjoyed hiding in the shadows and launching sneak attacks when ancient emperors and Great Emperors reached the ends of their lives.

When the Ancient Lunar Emperor embarked on the Immortal Ascension Path, the Undying Heavenly Emperor had launched a sneak attack. When the Battle Saint Sovereign embarked on the Immortal Ascension Path, the Undying Heavenly Emperor had done the same.

The other ancient emperors had probably also suffered no shortage of sneak attacks from the Undying Heavenly Emperor in their later years, supplying him with Imperial Blood.

If he were the Undying Heavenly Emperor, even if he chose the path of bathing in Emperor's Blood to transform, he would never act like him.

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 launch sneak attacks?

With conduct so despicable, even if the Undying Heavenly Emperor became a Mortal World Immortal, he would ultimately never achieve anything great!

However, after receiving the Lunar Human Emperor's warning, he became even more certain that the Undying Heavenly Emperor would definitely strike at him.

Moreover, given the Undying Heavenly Emperor's character, he most likely would not act during the twilight of Ying Hao's first lifetime.

That suited him perfectly. He also wanted to see just how far the current Undying Heavenly Emperor had transformed.

Once again, he sat cross-legged within Tanggu Valley, at the golden point where yin and yang divided, silently comprehending the changes between yin and yang.

Time flowed away like water. Within Ying Hao's body, that trace of lunar power was gradually growing stronger.

Extreme yang alone could not give birth to life. Once the Sacred Sun Physique had transformed to its limit, Ying Hao could advance no further and did not know how to transform again.

Continually excavating the potential of the human body and cultivating the Human Body Secret Realm anew was one method, but it was a long and arduous process.

He no longer had much time. If he wanted to live out a second lifetime by recultivating a secret realm, it was most likely impossible.

The transformation of extreme yang into extreme yin was his opportunity. After that trace of lunar power was born, the results were already beginning to show.

When a little extreme yin was mixed into extreme yang, it was like a drop of ink falling into clear water. Everything became different.

When yin and yang complemented each other, the world hailed one as Emperor!

A trace of lunar power nourished the sun, pushing the Sacred Sun Physique to a new peak and slowly changing his constitution.

At the same time, as he comprehended the transformation of extreme yang into extreme yin, his Imperial Artifact, the Heavenly Dao Record, was also constantly evolving.

Using the Heaven-Opening Mark to evolve the true meaning of creating Heaven and Earth, a vast world was born amid the boundless chaos.

Although this vast world was supreme, it was still a primordial expanse. All things remained in the process of evolution.

Because it reflected Ying Hao's own Dao, this vast world contained True Sun Fire. It was blazing hot, like a world of magma.

As Ying Hao comprehended yin and yang, the vast world gradually changed. Blazing heat was no longer the world's only theme.

Yin and yang had yet to reach balance, but they had begun to interact, evolving the mysteries behind the birth of all things.

Yang energy rose and hung high in the nine heavens, radiant like the sun. Although yin energy was weak, it gradually sank and became the earth.

When Heaven and Earth first opened, yin and yang emerged and interacted. Heaven and Earth had begun to take shape. This was undoubtedly a historic moment.

It was no exaggeration to say that from this moment onward, the Heavenly Dao Record had begun to transcend the boundaries of an Ultimate Emperor Weapon.

If the Great Desolation World continued evolving, the Heavenly Dao Record would no longer be an Ultimate Emperor Weapon. It would become an Immortal Artifact that suppressed the world.

On this day, outside the Ziwei Star Domain, space trembled and a figure manifested. It was Cao Yusheng, who had spent many years traveling through the universe.

"Master Dao has finally returned!" Cao Yusheng looked toward the Ziwei Star Domain, his eyes filled with emotion.

In this current era, according to his original plan, he would have been able to achieve the Dao after tempering himself for several thousand years.

Who could have known that a freak like Ying Hao would appear in the world and forcibly achieve the Dao in an era when doing so was impossible?

Ying Hao hung in the sky like the sun, leaving no hope for anyone else to achieve the Dao. Even after Ying Hao passed away, 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 through the universe for many years, he was also close to Alternative Dao Achievement.

He had to thank Ying Hao for all of this. Ying Hao had given him the chance to cultivate yin and yang together, allowing his cultivation to proceed so smoothly.

For that reason, he had returned this time to repay Ying Hao's favor.

"Don't say Master Dao doesn't look after you!"

Cao Yusheng muttered to himself as he walked toward the Ziwei Star Domain. He had truly gone to great lengths this time.

There was nothing he could do! Who told him that he owed Ying Hao such a massive favor? This might still not be enough to repay it in full.

He headed toward Tang Gu with practiced ease. The instant he approached Tang Gu, Cao Yusheng froze.

"Holy crap! He isn't really about to become an immortal, is he?"

This was not the first time he had voiced such amazement, but everything before his eyes still left him utterly stunned.
