The Heaven-Defying Efficacy of the Innate Spiritual Root!

Watching the white-haired Cao Yusheng, Ying Hao's gaze deepened. He couldn't help but sigh, his heart filled with emotion.

"If the spring breeze had pity for flowers, could it grant me youth again!"

Time cannot be chased, years cannot be reversed; this is the most helpless thing in the world.

Even the most invincible Great Emperors in the world only live for a little over ten thousand years at their peak, and their lives eventually come to an end.

When they reach old age, with white hair and nearing their end, who doesn't miss their once omnipotent selves?

To defy heaven and change fate, embarking on the path of transformation into a Mortal World Immortal, is ultimately only achievable by a tiny minority of exceptionally talented and peerless powerhouses.

Most people can only sigh in regret, either perishing in unwillingness or severing themselves, entering the Forbidden Zones to seal themselves away.

However, Cao Yusheng was clearly different. The end of one life was not a conclusion, but a new beginning.

He was the same!

Thinking this, his eyes regained their firmness, and new vitality surged through his decaying body.

"You're really quite monstrous!" Cao Yusheng muttered to himself.

He was lamenting the shocking power Ying Hao had displayed in the recent battle, killing two Underworld Supremes.

Even Emperor Zun back then was about the same!

In other words, in his eyes, Ying Hao was no longer just potentially comparable to Emperor Zun, but had already reached that level.

He was also lamenting that, in a certain moment just now, Ying Hao had suddenly given him a feeling of rebirth.

He knew very well that one lifetime was not Ying Hao's endpoint; Ying Hao would soon be able to live out a second life.

At that time, would Ying Hao be even more powerful than he was now?

"Still a bit short!" Ying Hao said.

He wasn't being self-deprecating; his combat power indeed surpassed that of ordinary Great Emperors, but that was all.

Even if he recovered his peak state, he felt there was still a sliver of a gap between him and the Heavenly Emperor.

But it was close. As long as he could live out a second life, his combat power would truly reach the Heavenly Emperor level.

At that time, let alone facing two Supremes, even if multiple Supremes attacked him, what would he have to fear?

"Forget it! This Daoist priest should also go to Reincarnation. I hope you've hidden your grave well, don't let me find it!" Cao Yusheng said.

By taking the Heaven-Piercing Underworld Treasure, he had also helped Ying Hao, repaying a past debt of gratitude.

With the end of this life, he would soon fall into slumber, and his next emergence would be after a long period of time.

He believed Ying Hao could live out a second, or even a third life, but what about a fourth, a fifth?

No one dared to guarantee they could exist forever. By the time he emerged again, Ying Hao might just be a pile of Kitsuchi.

At that time, he could only sit by Ying Hao's grave, reminiscing about the past, and reluctantly accept Ying Hao's burial goods.

Given Ying Hao's strength, plus the recent plundering of the Forbidden Zones, there should be quite a few good things!

"Don't worry! When you wake up next time, I'll personally welcome you!" Ying Hao said with a smile.

In the battle just now, if Cao Yusheng hadn't taken the Heaven-Piercing Underworld Treasure, it would have taken him more effort to kill the two Supremes.

When Cao Yusheng awoke again, it would be at least a hundred thousand to two hundred thousand years later, a long stretch of time.

If he wanted to see Cao Yusheng again, he would probably have to live backwards three or four more times, a transformation that would be extremely difficult.

But no matter how difficult, there was hope. Regarding his future transformation, he already had some ideas.

When they met again, he really wanted to see how astonished Cao Yusheng's expression would be.

Cao Yusheng rolled his eyes. Ying Hao wanted to wait until he reappeared in the world? Dream on!

However, even though he said that, for some reason, Cao Yusheng suddenly felt that this might not be entirely impossible.

The thought of their next reunion sent a shiver down his spine, and he quickly cleared the idea from his mind.

Cao Yusheng left. He had already chosen a geomantically auspicious spot for himself, preparing to bury himself there.

As for the location, Cao Yusheng did not say, and warned Ying Hao not to disturb his tomb.

Ying Hao watched Cao Yusheng disappear, stepping onto the Golden Light Grand Dao, connecting the universe, and returning once more to the Ziwei Star Domain.

In the Ziwei Star Domain, cheers erupted to the heavens. Countless members of the Human Race wept with joy, shouting the name of Haotian the Great Emperor.

In the Primordial Era, the Human Race was less than dogs, once reduced to food for the Myriad Ancient Races, almost facing extinction.

It was the two Human Emperors, Taiyin and Taiyang, who emerged and changed the status of the Human Race, allowing it to gradually prosper.

Because both Human Emperors came from the Ziwei Star Domain, it had been the sacred land of the Human Race ever since.

Many had thought that was the peak for the Human Race, but with the emergence of Haotian the Great Emperor, everyone understood what a golden age for the Human Race truly was.

Killing three Supremes in one day, traversing the Forbidden Zones, fighting until the Supremes were speechless – what immense power was this?

With Haotian the Great Emperor guarding the Ziwei Star Domain, it was undoubtedly the sacred land of the Human Race, and everyone took pride in it!

Ying Hao once again sat in Tanggu Valley. His time was running out, and after the series of battles, his Blood Essence had greatly depleted.

He had reached his limit, and it was time to live out his next life!

However, before that, he still needed to tally up his gains from this expedition.

After receiving the system rewards, a peach tree appeared before him – it was none other than the Peach of Immortality Tree, one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots.

"It really will be rejected by this universe?" Ying Hao murmured to himself.

He had already suspected this before, believing that different worlds might affect Innate Spiritual Roots.

The facts bore this out: the Peach of Immortality Tree, born in this universe, would be influenced by the rules of heaven and earth, leading to its continuous degeneration.

Perhaps only in the Immortal Realm, or even in higher worlds like Above the Heavens, could the Peach of Immortality Tree recover its original state.

However, these were matters for the distant future; the rules of heaven and earth wouldn't affect the Peach of Immortality Tree so quickly.

In other words, at least for the time being, the Peach of Immortality Tree in his possession was a complete Innate Spiritual Root.

The Peach of Immortality Tree bore a total of thirty-six Peaches of Immortality, all of which had now ripened. This was his greatest haul.

In the Great Desolation, consuming any single Peach of Immortality would allow one to ascend directly in broad daylight, thereafter living in harmony with heaven and earth.

In the Veil of Heaven world, the Peach of Immortality Tree also possessed such efficacy; consuming it would not only greatly advance one's cultivation but also grant eternal life.

"It should still be affected by the rules of heaven and earth!" Ying Hao thought to himself.

The reason a Mortal World Immortal could achieve eternal life was because they had undergone a transformation to their limit, no longer being influenced by the rules of heaven and earth.

But consuming a Peach of Immortality was different; if one's own body hadn't undergone such a transformation, they would ultimately still be affected by the rules of heaven and earth, slowly approaching the end of their life.

However, based on his judgment, the efficacy of the Peach of Immortality would absolutely not be poor; it should be able to extend a Great Emperor's lifespan by tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of years.

Even the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir refined by Emperor Zun could only extend a Great Emperor's peak for three thousand years, which showed just how heaven-defying the efficacy of the Peach of Immortality was.

To put it without exaggeration, these thirty-six Peaches of Immortality alone were the foremost treasure in this universe!
