Haotian the Great Emperor Really Was in His Later Years?

Ying Hao coldly watched the Undying Daoist as the Heavenly Dao Record came crashing down, its terrifying power shattering everything.

The Undying Daoist would never know that, even now, Ying Hao still had not displayed his full strength.

That was right! He had indeed entered his later years, and his blood and qi had declined. His strength had indeed weakened somewhat.

But that depended on whom he was being compared to!

If his combat power at his peak had been 100, then after entering his later years, it was still 95.

The Undying Daoist's original combat power had been 70, while after his Ultimate Ascension, it had only reached 80.

Wasn't it perfectly normal for combat power of 95 to suppress combat power of 80?

The Undying Daoist roared furiously. Imperial Dao Law surged, and a True Phoenix emerged, crying out across the nine heavens as it charged toward the Heavenly Dao Record.

His face was filled with shock and incomprehension, but more than anything else, it was filled with fear.

Why was he so strong? How could he possibly be this strong?

He had undergone Ultimate Ascension and once again become an invincible powerhouse!

Having searched the entire world, he could no longer find a single opponent. Why was he still inferior to a Great Emperor in his later years?

The vast world slowly descending upon him condensed boundless might, making him feel immense pressure.

He refused to believe it, and he was even less willing to surrender. The True Phoenix cried out, five-colored radiance illuminating the world as it crashed into the Heavenly Dao Record.

"Rumble!"

Amid the enormous thunderous roar, the True Phoenix coughed up blood. Its five-colored radiance dimmed and slowly dissipated, leaving only the dumbfounded Undying Daoist behind.

The Heavenly Dao Record came crashing down, suppressing the Undying Daoist all the way from the desolate edge of the universe into the Big Dipper Star Domain.

Within Immortal Mountain, a great mountain erupted from the ground and flew out of Immortal Mountain, being drawn into the Heavenly Dao Record.

The Heavenly Dao Record descended from the heavens. A Five-Finger Mountain appeared outside Immortal Mountain, unleashing a tremendous roar.

Runes intertwined across the Five-Finger Mountain, while True Sun Fire surged violently. The Undying Daoist's agonized scream abruptly ceased.

The entire Big Dipper Star Domain fell silent. Every living being stared in stunned disbelief, and the Supreme beings in the Forbidden Zones were no exception.

"The Undying Daoist was suppressed just like that? How long did this battle even last?"

"He said he would suppress him in ten moves, but ended up doing it in three. Haotian the Great Emperor really is terrifying!"

"Has he really entered his later years? The older he gets, the stronger and more monstrous he becomes. Is this the Great Emperor of the Human Race?"

If Haotian the Great Emperor had been at his peak, no one would have found it surprising that he had forcefully suppressed the Undying Daoist.

After all, Haotian the Great Emperor had forcibly attained the Dao not long ago, and he had slain Source God in the Underworld right in front of everyone.

But Haotian the Great Emperor had already entered his later years, and he had suppressed the Undying Daoist after his Ultimate Ascension in just three moves?

Could Haotian the Great Emperor's strength actually increase instead of decline after entering his later years?

Ying Hao descended from the heavens with the Heavenly Dao Record above his head. He stepped into Immortal Mountain once more and walked deeper inside, one step at a time.

Every step he took made heaven and earth rumble, as if he were stepping on the hearts of all the Supreme beings, making their expressions increasingly solemn.

When he arrived at the core of Immortal Mountain, Ying Hao looked coldly at the few remaining Supreme beings there.

"Now, who still wants to fight me?"

Ying Hao's tone was calm. He was neither arrogant nor mocking, as if he were merely stating something utterly ordinary.

The Supreme beings of Immortal Mountain fell silent. The example of the Undying Daoist was right before them. Who would be willing to fight Haotian the Great Emperor?

The Immortal Ascension Path had yet to open, and they had not even seen hope of becoming immortals. Who would be willing to die?

The few Supreme beings exchanged glances. They were deeply wary of Haotian the Great Emperor's strength, but even more so because of the unknown.

Even now, they still could not see through Haotian the Great Emperor's depths. They did not know where the limit of this Great Emperor of the Human Race lay.

The unknown was often the most terrifying thing!

After all, no one knew what heaven-shaking combat power Haotian the Great Emperor could unleash if he fought with his life on the line.

Within Immortal Mountain, Ying Hao watched the Supreme beings, while the Supreme beings watched Ying Hao. The atmosphere gradually became tense and explosive.

The entire Big Dipper Star Domain was the same. Heavy pressure enveloped heaven and earth, making countless people struggle to breathe.

Ying Hao's gaze swept repeatedly through the depths of Immortal Mountain. After confirming that there was nothing worthwhile there, he let out a scornful laugh and turned to leave.

The Supreme beings within Immortal Mountain exchanged glances and secretly breathed sighs of relief. Fortunately, the worst-case scenario had not occurred.

If Haotian the Great Emperor had pressed them too hard, then even if they had been unwilling, they would have had no choice but to fight him.

When that happened, regardless of whether they won or lost, they would certainly have to pay a painful price.

The only ones who could rejoice would be the Supreme beings from the other Forbidden Zones!

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Ying Hao walked out of Immortal Mountain. With one step, he arrived outside the Divine Ruins.

The Supreme beings in Immortal Mountain, who had just relaxed, brightened up at once, their faces blooming with delight.

People did not fear unfairness, but feared scarcity!

If everyone was treated the same, then what had just happened would not be so difficult to accept.

Within the Divine Ruins, several Supreme beings looked at one another, their expressions becoming increasingly grave.

Just moments ago, they had still been gloating, but now that it was their turn, they could no longer smile.

Haotian the Great Emperor had entered the Divine Ruins. Should they fight, or pretend to be dead?

The moment Ying Hao stepped into the Divine Ruins, the system's notification sounded in his mind.

"Ding! The host is approaching the Southern Heavenly Gate of the Heavenly Court. A mission is now being issued!

Mission One: Enter the Southern Heavenly Gate and retreat safely. Reward: One Immortal Peach!

Mission Two: Leave the Southern Heavenly Gate as quickly as possible. Reward: Immobilization from the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Arts!

Warning! Warning! The Heavenly Court is filled with countless experts and numerous powerful beings. Host, please choose carefully!"

Ying Hao's heart stirred as he looked ahead. Ruins were scattered everywhere, and Dao Traces covered the ground. The most eye-catching sight was a gigantic heavenly gate.

The Southern Heavenly Gate was the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court from the Mythological Era. After the Heavenly Court collapsed, it fell into the Divine Ruins.

Without a second word, he reached out his massive hand and uprooted the enormous Southern Heavenly Gate, storing it away.

Then he reached out his massive hand again and seized a section of Earth Vein, gripping it in his palm as wisps of hazy immortal mist rose into the air.

This was a Divine Spring. It surged out of the Earth Vein and had never run dry since ancient times. After reaching the surface, it seeped back into Earth's Core, forming a cycle.

He then stepped into the depths of the Divine Ruins, where several Supreme beings had already been waiting for him.

"Which of you wants to fight this Emperor?"

Ying Hao had just said the same thing once in Immortal Mountain, and now he said it again.

But the effects of the two occasions were completely different!

In Immortal Mountain, the Undying Daoist had emerged to fight him. The Supreme beings of the Divine Ruins, however, remained silent.

Silence was the best possible response at that moment!

Ying Hao let out a scornful laugh and reached out his massive hand, grabbing toward the depths of the Divine Ruins.

Like Immortal Mountain, the Divine Ruins was also a Forbidden Zone. It clearly possessed Immortal Medicine as well!

However, after seeing what had happened in Immortal Mountain, the Supreme beings of the Divine Ruins had hidden the Immortal Medicine long ago.

"How dare you!"

"Presumptuous!"

"You're going too far!"

The Supreme beings of the Divine Ruins were enraged. Haotian the Great Emperor had forcefully made his move, forcing them to fight whether they wanted to or not!

"Rumble!"

Several Supreme beings attacked simultaneously. Terrifying power intertwined, and an enormous roar spread from the Divine Ruins throughout the entire Big Dipper Star Domain.

"Nothing special!"

Ying Hao glanced at the depths of the Divine Ruins and turned to leave.

The Supreme beings of the Divine Ruins wore livid expressions, but not a single one of them continued attacking.
