The Human Emperor's Regret. The Path to Immortality opened.
There were always Forbidden Zone Supremes who could not resist the temptation of immortality.
With their Lifespan nearing its end, even while the Yin Human Emperor still presided over the age, they would venture onto the Path to Immortality in search of a sliver of hope.
This was a blatant scheme, meant to force the Yin Human Emperor into conflict with the Forbidden Zone Supremes.
Just as the Undying Heavenly Emperor had expected, several Forbidden Zone Supremes truly emerged to challenge the Path to Immortality.
As the reigning emperor of the age, the Yin Human Emperor could only charge into the Path to Immortality as well to prevent a Dark Turmoil from occurring.
Everything had been within the Undying Heavenly Emperor's calculations. Even if the Yin Human Emperor sensed that something was wrong, he likely could not afford to consider so much in order to prevent a Dark Turmoil.
Most importantly, the Yin Human Emperor would never have imagined that someone was secretly plotting against him.
Having lived out a Third Life, the Yin Human Emperor had likely noticed something was amiss, but he had been too confident in his own strength.
He never expected the Undying Heavenly Emperor to be lying in wait at the end of the Path to Immortality.
In the end, the Yin Human Emperor fell, leaving behind only the Yin Human Emperor Seal and the Immortal Metal Plate after his death.
"The Yin Human Emperor was tricked to death by the Undying Heavenly Emperor on the Path to Immortality. He left behind the Immortal Metal Plate to warn the Human Race's Ancient Emperors of Later Generations."
"According to what the two sect leaders said earlier, the Sun Saint Emperor did indeed obtain an Immortal Metal Plate from the Yin God Sect."
Chen Zhao picked up the Immortal Metal Plate left behind by the Sun Saint Emperor.
The entirely violet Immortal Metal Plate emanated an obscure and profound Dao aura. A layer of frost condensed over its surface, and an intensely Yin force rushed toward him.
"The Immortal Metal Plate left behind by the Sun Saint Emperor is the opposite of the one left by the Yin Human Emperor. The Saint Emperor also embarked on the path of transformation."
Considering that the Sun Saint Emperor had obtained the legacy the Yin Human Emperor left behind before his death, perhaps he had also embarked upon a path of yin-yang rotation.
The Immortal Metal Plate left behind by the Sun Saint Emperor, a Yang Body, did not emit an extremely Yang aura, but an extremely Yin one.
That proved that, like the Yin Human Emperor, he had embarked on the path of yin-yang rotation.
"Did the Sun Saint Emperor ultimately fail, or did he succeed?" Chen Zhao fell into doubt.
Logically speaking, he had the Yin Human Emperor's path to replicate.
The Sun Saint Emperor, who had obtained the Yin Human Emperor's legacy, did not even need to copy his work.
He only needed to reverse the Yin Human Emperor's process of transformation.
By transforming from yang to yin, if he succeeded, the Sun Saint Emperor could complete his transformation and live out a Third Life.
Unlike the Sun Saint Emperor, who had the Yin Human Emperor's experience to draw upon,
in the Yin Human Emperor's era, no one who cultivated the Yang Way had become an emperor. He could only explore it on his own.
"The Sun Saint Emperor did not live out a Third Life. That much is certain."
Chen Zhao furrowed his brow and could not help recalling the events of Later Generations.
In Later Generations, the Sun Saint Emperor's coffin drifted through the universe, with only a Divine Sense remaining by its side.
Yet the Sun Saint Emperor's corpse was absent from the coffin. Only a sheet of Human Skin remained; his flesh, blood, and origin had long since vanished.
Without hesitation, Chen Zhao picked up the Immortal Metal Plate and began reading it.
Sure enough, what was recorded within the Immortal Metal Plate was not the Sun Saint Emperor's famous Yang Ancient Scripture, but an Emperor Dao Ancient Scripture concerning the Yin Way.
"He even created Emperor Scripture for the Yin Way. So, did the Sun Saint Emperor succeed or fail at that time?"
The matter became ever more Confusing and Mysterious. The Sun Saint Emperor had created scripture for the Yin Way.
Had he transformed himself from a Sun Body into a Taiyin Body?
Why had he died in his Second Life?
"It must have had something to do with the Undying Heavenly Emperor again."
Chen Zhao continued reading the Immortal Metal Plate.
A secret of the Emperor Dao, lost to ancient history, slowly unfolded before Chen Zhao.
During the Late Years of his Second Life, the Sun Saint Emperor began following the Yin Human Emperor's path. He intended to undergo a yin-yang transformation and turn his yang into yin.
With the Yin Human Emperor as a precedent, the Sun Saint Emperor did not need to feel his way across the river by trial and error. He could clearly see the road ahead.
Even so, every transformation on the path to becoming a Mortal World Immortal carried a great crisis of life and death. One slight mistake would mean death.
The path of a Mortal World Immortal was one fraught with hardships and dangers.
Though the Sun Saint Emperor could draw upon the Yin Human Emperor's path, the transformation process was still a near-death ordeal.
Before beginning his transformation, the Sun Saint Emperor had made preparations. He sealed off all information and arranged his methods.
Yet at the most critical, most important, and weakest moment of his Third Life transformation, he was ambushed by the Undying Heavenly Emperor, who had long been lurking in secret.
"Undying Heavenly Emperor."
In Later Generations, the Undying Heavenly Emperor had also launched a surprise attack at the crucial moment when the Fighting Saint Emperor was undergoing the Battle Immortal Tribulation.
When Ye Fan underwent his transformation in the Late Years of his Second Life, he had even attacked across realms.
He could be called a professional ambusher. Every time, his timing was perfect.
The Sun Saint Emperor was at the critical moment of transformation and could only hastily end it, forcibly responding to the Undying Heavenly Emperor's challenge.
After repelling the Undying Heavenly Emperor, the Sun Saint Emperor prematurely ended his transformation. Although he successfully changed his constitution from a Sun Body into a Taiyin Body,
he gained no additional Lifespan. In truth, the transformation had failed.
All his efforts had gone to waste.
The transformations of a Mortal World Immortal emphasized gaining ever more Lifespan with every reverse life, ultimately achieving immortality in the mortal world, beyond the reach of Years.
Although the Sun Saint Emperor transformed his constitution into a Taiyin Body and created Emperor Scripture concerning the Yin Way,
from the perspective of Lifespan, the Sun Saint Emperor had undoubtedly failed in his transformation.
After his death, to keep the Undying Heavenly Emperor from obtaining his blood essence and origin, the Sun Saint Emperor buried himself in the Divine Spirit Ancient Coffin and drifted Above the Nine Heavens.
"If the Sun Saint Emperor had succeeded in his transformation, he would likely still be at the peak of his Third Life today." Chen Zhao could not help sighing.
The Sun Saint Emperor had been ambushed by the Undying Heavenly Emperor at the critical moment of his transformation, causing all his efforts to fail. He could only helplessly pass away.
"The Undying Heavenly Emperor likely found the Sun Saint Emperor's Divine Spirit Ancient Coffin afterward and devoured him until only a sheet of Human Skin remained."
Clearly, the Sun Saint Emperor's methods had failed to stop the Undying Heavenly Emperor. Even after death, his corpse had still been devoured.
"From Taiyin to Taiyang, two generations of Human Emperors died at the hands of the Undying One. Then his next target should be me."
What made the Yin Human Emperor and the Sun Saint Emperor special was that both had achieved yin-yang transformation.
Their blood essence and origin held a special allure for the Undying Heavenly Emperor, who had embarked on the path of Bathing in Emperor Blood to transform himself.
After bathing in the Emperor Blood of the Two Human Emperors and accepting the baptism of the Great Dao within it, the Undying Heavenly Emperor should have entered a state of Nirvana after devouring the Sun Saint Emperor.
Otherwise, after he killed the Carefree Heavenly Lord, what awaited him would have been the Five-Colored Heavenly Blade striking from the Void.
As a Chaos Body who had become an emperor, Chen Zhao's allure to the Undying Heavenly Emperor went without saying.
