From Chen Zhao, they seemed to see their former selves.

Before undergoing self-severance, they too had been just as high-spirited.

When they first attained the Dao, they were likewise invincible across the world, unmatched throughout the universe both inside and out, pushing horizontally across past, present, and future, suppressing an entire era.

Even though there was no method to become an immortal in the world and the immortal path had long since been severed, they still possessed the confidence to rely on their own strength to carve out a new immortal path.

Pity that when faced with the approach of passing away, driven by death and the obsession with becoming an immortal, they chose self-severance and entered the forbidden zone to become supremes.

The dragon-slaying heroes ultimately transformed into evil dragons.

The heavenly lords and ancient emperors who once guarded the living beings of the universe became the source of the universe's greatest darkness.

A life forbidden zone transformed from a silver ocean emitted wave after wave of sounds, yet it was not located within Big Dipper, forming a realm of its own.

When faced with Chen Zhao's Dao provoking the forbidden zone, the supreme of this life forbidden zone could not endure the provocation and chose to strike from afar.

Three Realms Reincarnation.

Above the Nine Heavens, the powerful supreme Dao manifested, transforming into the phantoms of three ancient universes.

The supreme Dao transformed into three circulating ancient universes, and the vital breath of opening heaven and earth permeated the air.

Living beings across the entire universe felt the terrifying pressure of the Great Dao, as if it were about to tear people's souls apart.

The three ancient universes transformed from the Dao circulated, suppressing downward toward the Chaos Dao that suppressed the Nine Heavens!

One was the universe of the past, one was the universe of the present, and one was the universe of the future.

The laws penetrated through past and present, emitting terrifying force of rules, as if they were about to suppress all heavens and myriad realms.

Above the Nine Heavens, facing this supreme Dao suppressing downward, the Chaos Dao belonging to Chen Zhao completely manifested, transforming into a boundless Chaos Domain.

Within this Chaos Domain, the Yin Yang Two Qi appeared, emitting a terrifyingly extreme destructive force.

This Chaos Domain seemed to devour the heavens and destroy the earth, destroy myriad domains, and return everything to chaos.

The three universe phantoms transformed from this supreme Dao were instantly swallowed by the Chaos Domain, turning into the formless, as if nothing had ever happened.

"The Dao of the Lord of Reincarnation has been suppressed. The Chaos Dao practiced by the Chaos Body is truly terrifying," a supreme of a life forbidden zone remarked with emotion.

For the Lord of the Sea of Reincarnation to test the contemporary human emperor was something they were quite happy to see.

Never did they expect that Reincarnation, as the lord of a forbidden zone, would be defeated after a single encounter.

The Sea of Reincarnation presented a silvery appearance, resembling endless star rivers cascading down to form an ocean world.

The Sea of Reincarnation was vast and boundless, larger than the entire Big Dipper Eastern Wilderness, yet normally the traces of this realm were utterly impossible to see.

Because this was a life forbidden zone, a forbidden zone where forbidden zone supremes lurked, an absolute forbidden land for living beings.

The originally calm and tranquil Sea of Reincarnation suddenly stirred up huge waves.

Countless silver waves swept upward, stirring up towering, heaven-reaching turbulent waves, and the laws plunged into chaos in an instant.

The Chaos Dao manifested in this forbidden zone world, as if to destroy everything, trace everything back to its origin, and return it to chaos.

"You have gone too far! Could it be that you truly intend to pit yourself alone against our Sea of Reincarnation?"

Deep within the Sea of Reincarnation, the Lord of Reincarnation, self-sealed in the immortal source, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spoke in a furious tone.

He had not expected that the human emperor who had attained the Dao with the Chaos Body would possess such terrifying strength.

A mere distant exchange had directly suppressed his Dao, and even he himself had suffered a heavy loss.

At the same time, within the Sea of Reincarnation, supremes continuously awoke, beginning to resist this torrent of Chaos Dao.

Chen Zhao did not respond to the words of the Lord of Reincarnation. This suppressing Chaos Dao dissipated without a trace, leaving behind only a devastated Sea of Reincarnation.

"This person is too terrifying. I see the shadow of Emperor Lord in him."

As an ancient Dao Prover, the Lord of Reincarnation had naturally witnessed the Emperor Lord of the past.

Having experienced the distant clash just now, he discovered that this human emperor actually gave him the feeling of facing the Emperor Lord directly.

He had a faint premonition that if the human emperor were allowed to continue this way, before long he would be yet another existence comparable to the Emperor Lord.

"He has merely attained the Dao for a few hundred years. I never expected his strength to undergo such a massive change."

"In the past, even when Carefree Heavenly Lord performed ultimate sublimation and struck, he couldn't eradicate him. Now, on the contrary, he has been allowed to mature into a climate."

"It seems the next era belongs to this human emperor."

The remaining supremes of the Sea of Reincarnation sighed; they had never imagined the Chaos Body would be so domineering.

Having only just attained the Dao, his Dao dared to suppress the forbidden zone.

Had they not all awakened together, the Sea of Reincarnation would have been re-enacted into chaos.

Although these forbidden zone supremes felt provoked, no one wanted to make a move.

To strike at a human emperor in his prime at this moment would simply be courting death.

As for crossing distances to clash with the human emperor, given the previous example of the Lord of Reincarnation just now, they would not go looking for trouble for themselves either.

"The Sea of Reincarnation was nearly destroyed. This human emperor's Chaos Dao is far too tyrannical; even the Lord of Reincarnation suffered a heavy loss."

"Heh, let him act arrogantly for now. When his late years arrive, that will be the time for us to settle accounts."

"No matter how powerful he is, so what? This universe has long since been unable to produce immortals. He will ultimately perish amidst the years, and when that time comes, won't he still have to be accepted by us in the forbidden zones?"

Numerous forbidden zone supremes witnessed what transpired in the Sea of Reincarnation Forbidden Zone.

Even one as strong as the Lord of Reincarnation suffered a heavy loss in his confrontation with the human emperor.

The Sea of Reincarnation Forbidden Zone was suppressed so thoroughly that it could not even lift its head, and no supreme dared to step out of the forbidden zone to fight.

However, in the eyes of many life forbidden zones, the human emperor acting in this manner was simply cutting himself off from the forbidden zones.

No matter how formidable heavenly lords and ancient emperors were, their ultimate destination was still to undergo self-severance and transform into a forbidden zone.

As formidable as the human emperor was, he was ultimately just a momentary glory.

This conflict came quickly and went just as quickly, and the Chaos Dao suppressing the Nine Heavens returned to peace.

Ziwei Emperor Star, Intercepting Heaven Dao.

Sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat, Chen Zhao's aura was entirely restrained within his body, as if he merged with the Dao, giving people the feeling of facing an entire heaven and earth directly.

"Without experiencing the Desolate Ancient Great Emperor pacifying the turmoil, the universe's forbidden zones really are numerous."

This time was an exploration of the life forbidden zones by Chen Zhao.

He never expected that even after suppressing the Dao all the way to the depths of the forbidden zone, these supremes were still enduring it.

Indeed, dealing with forbidden zone supremes could not be done through blind oppression; only by using a fishing method would it work.

The Desolate Ancient Great Emperors of later generations all relied on fishing methods when dealing with forbidden zone supremes.

They fished out forbidden zone supremes one after another, continuously thinning the number of supremes in the life forbidden zones.

After the probing just now, the Seven Great Life Forbidden Zones of later generations lacked one Undying Mountain, yet possessed a few more unfamiliar forbidden zones.

Right now Undying Mountain had not manifested, likely having yet to emerge.

Even so, though Undying Mountain was missing, a few other forbidden zones had additionally appeared.

The reason these unfamiliar extra forbidden zones did not appear in the Post-Desolate Ancient Era was because they were continually pacified by the emperors of the Desolate Ancient Era, ultimately leading to their destruction.

They eventually formed the forbidden zone layout of later generations.
