The Primordial Life Stone had life-extending effects even for Heavenly Lords and Ancient Emperors, allowing Ancient Emperors to enter Self-Sealing.

It could also bring about a rebirth-like transformation in beings below the ultimate path.

Even without refining it, studying and comprehending the Primordial Life Stone every day brought immense benefits, allowing one to grasp the mysteries of life and prolong one's years.

In the Post-Desolate Ancient Era, the Primordial Life Stone stirred up a series of storms.

Throughout the entire universe, only the Primordial Ancient Mine could produce Primordial Life Stones, and their yield was pitifully small.

In later generations, Ye Fan had once ventured into the Primordial Ancient Mine to demand Primordial Life Stones and Immortal Source.

Chen Zhao reached out and drew the Primordial Life Stones over. The two stones were each only the size of a washbasin.

Yet they seemed capable of breathing in and out Star Rivers, making the entire universe rise and fall with them, radiating powerful fluctuations of life.

Under the Human Emperor's overwhelming pressure, the Forbidden Zone Supremes of the Primordial Ancient Mine chose to lower their heads.

Had an ordinary Ancient Emperor dared pressure the ancient mine like this, the Forbidden Zone Supremes within would have long emerged to hunt the Cosmic True Dragon.

But the Human Emperor was simply too powerful. With the Lord of Reincarnation's fate as a warning, no one dared act rashly.

Seeing the Supremes of the Primordial Ancient Mine bow their heads, Chen Zhao did not press them further.

Among the many Life Forbidden Zones, the Primordial Ancient Mine ranked among the strongest.

The only way to deal with the Life Forbidden Zones was to fish them out, luring the Forbidden Zone Supremes out one by one.

This was also the method the Great Emperors of the Desolate Ancient Era in later generations had summed up.

Compared to the Post-Desolate Ancient Era, the number of Forbidden Zone Supremes in the Ancient Era was terrifyingly great.

Having slain the Lord of Reincarnation was already enough to satisfy Chen Zhao.

"Who wishes to battle me?"

After settling the karma with the Primordial Ancient Mine, Chen Zhao pointed his sword at the Sea of Reincarnation. His Fighting Spirit surged like a vast tide, and his voice rang through the Nine Heavens.

"Both Reincarnation and Xiaoyao died by your hand. Your karma with our Sea of Reincarnation has already been settled. Do you truly mean to wage war against our Sea of Reincarnation?"

A voice suddenly rose from the Sea of Reincarnation, which had been as still as dead water.

"This is our final line, Human Emperor. Do not go too far."

A streak of light suddenly fled from the Sea of Reincarnation and landed before Chen Zhao.

It was a towering, luxuriant Silver Divine Tree, its branches and leaves suffused with dense Yin Sacred Power.

The Moon Laurel Undying Medicine.

An Undying Medicine as renowned as the Fusang Undying Medicine. If the Fusang Undying Medicine symbolized the sun, then the Moon Laurel Undying Medicine symbolized the yin.

In the past, the Moon Laurel Undying Medicine had followed the Yin Human Emperor.

After the Human Emperor fell, it vanished without a trace. Who would have thought it had ended up in the Sea of Reincarnation Forbidden Zone?

"The Moon Laurel Undying Medicine."

Chen Zhao narrowed his eyes. He had not expected the Moon Laurel Undying Medicine to be in the hands of the Reincarnation Forbidden Zone.

He put away the Moon Laurel Undying Medicine, but did not store it in his Bitter Sea, lest it and the Fusang Undying Medicine form Taiyin and Sun Harmony within the Bitter Sea.

After all, he was currently beneath the very eyes of the Forbidden Zone Supremes. It was better to be cautious.

After putting away the Undying Medicine, Chen Zhao did not continue pressuring the Sea of Reincarnation.

This harvest was already enough to satisfy him.

Even an honest man would erupt with extraordinary strength when driven to the utmost limit, let alone the Heavenly Lords and Ancient Emperors of old.

With his current strength, he was still insufficient to completely quell the Forbidden Zones.

What was more, the enemies he needed to guard against were not merely the Forbidden Zones, but also the Undying Heavenly Emperor.

Otherwise, if he went to war with the Forbidden Zones and was left utterly exhausted, only for the Undying Heavenly Emperor to launch a sneak attack—

Then he would meet the same end as the Yin Human Emperor of old.

"What harm is there in enduring them a little for the sake of the Path to Immortality? Back then, Emperor Lord was even more arrogant than the Human Emperor when he established the Heavenly Court. In the end, was he not still buried by Years?"

"Heh heh. He dares settle karma with us? When he reaches his Late Years, that will be the time for us to settle karma with him."

"Just wait. The day of reckoning will come eventually."

Other than when facing Emperor Lord in the past, when had the many Forbidden Zone Supremes ever suffered such humiliation?

What the Human Emperor had done today had already Cut off from the Forbidden Zone. He would have no chance to undergo Self-Severance in the future.

"So long as the Human Emperor does not undergo Self-Severance and enter a Forbidden Zone, he will eventually perish. What he has done today has already Cut off from all Forbidden Zones."

A voice emerged from the Immortal Mausoleum Forbidden Zone.

Endless chill filled that voice.

"Whoever dares accept the Human Emperor into a Forbidden Zone in the future will become our enemy."

Upon hearing this voice, the many Forbidden Zone Supremes understood that it came from the mysterious Lord of the Immortal Mausoleum.

After taking the laurel tree, Chen Zhao put away the Chaos Sword, turned, and left, with no intention of responding to the Sea of Reincarnation Supreme.

The karmic debt had been settled.

How could that be possible? So long as the Life Forbidden Zones remained, the karmic debt would never be settled.

The two sides had merely paused their hostilities for the moment. After this battle, there was absolutely no possibility of shaking hands and making peace.

Emperors and Sovereigns could not be insulted.

To Chen Zhao, that was nothing more than a joke. In the end, strength was still supreme.

If one was strong enough, then insulting the Forbidden Zone Supremes was no great matter.

Earlier, he had given them the chance to break out of their Immortal Source and undergo Ultimate Sublimation, yet none had been willing to fight.

As for the Forbidden Zone Supremes wanting to settle their karmic debt in their Late Years, Chen Zhao was not worried in the slightest.

If the Supremes came to settle karma, then at worst, they would fight.

The powers throughout the Big Dipper all heaved a sigh of relief, terrified that the two sides would go to war on the Big Dipper. If that happened, the entire Big Dipper would inevitably be blasted apart.

The Human Emperor reigned over the Big Dipper, challenging the Forbidden Zones with his sword and even erupting into a Supreme Divine War. In the end, no one dared Respond to the Challenge.

Others did not know what lay within the Life Forbidden Zones, but for the higher-ups of those Ancient Imperial Clans, it was no longer a secret.

The Big Dipper held the taboo of the entire universe. The Heavenly Lords and ancient sovereigns who had attained the Dao in the past had not perished; instead, they had undergone Self-Severance and become Forbidden Zones.

If this news were leaked, it would be enough to stir up a monstrous uproar across the universe.

Only after knowing what existed within the Life Forbidden Zones could one truly feel the Human Emperor's might.

With the strength of one man, he challenged the Life Forbidden Zones with his sword, forcing the Forbidden Zone Supremes to lower their heads and yield.

At this moment, quite a few Ancient Races decided to ease their relations with the Human Race.

This battle had allowed those Ancient Races to witness the Human Emperor's power.

As long as the Human Emperor continued to Reign Over the Nine Heavens, the Human Race would continue to flourish.

"I am the Human Emperor. I shall bring blessings to all living beings of the universe. Today, I will establish a Dao Arena on the Big Dipper and expound the Dao for all beings." A vast voice resounded throughout the Cosmic Eight Desolations.

The voice carried an Imperial Dao Pressure, ringing beside the ears of every living thing and stirring an urge to submit within their hearts.

When the Human Emperor became emperor, he had already expounded the Dao for the Human Race. Who would have thought that he would do so again now?

All the Cultivators who had gone to Ziwei to hear the Human Emperor expound the Dao that day had gained something from it.

Now that the Human Emperor was expounding the Dao once more, it was a heaven-sent opportunity for the living beings of the universe.

If they could comprehend anything from this exposition, they would benefit from it for the rest of their lives.

Thus, the moment the Human Emperor's voice fell, the entire Big Dipper Star boiled over.

The news even swiftly spread beyond the Big Dipper. Many people from major powers activated the Five-Colored Altars they had previously been reluctant to use and rushed toward the Big Dipper Star, afraid of missing this exposition of the Dao.
