Forbidden Domain

No sooner had Chen Zhao landed before the Human Emperor Temple than the Two Emperor Sons came forward and respectfully said, "Greetings, Human Emperor."

"No need for such formality." Chen Zhao glanced at them. "What I mentioned before about bringing your fathers back was only a preliminary attempt."

"I intend to use Faith Power to bring the Two Human Emperors back."

Back then, he had merely mentioned the matter to the Two Emperor Sons and had not explained the specific method.

Thus, upon hearing of this method, expressions of shock appeared on the Two Emperor Sons' faces.

They did not understand the mysterious power known as Faith Power either.

They only knew that it was a miraculous force capable of turning decay into wonder.

Chen Zhao took out the Sun Saint Emperor's Ancient Coffin and opened it.

The Imperial Dao Pressure belonging to the Sun Saint Emperor radiated from the coffin, causing the entire Ziwei Star to tremble.

The surrounding stars immediately dimmed, leaving only the dazzling radiance of the sun.

Upon sensing that aura, the emotions the Sun Emperor Son had suppressed for countless years erupted at once, and tears glimmered in his eyes.

Even someone as resolute as him could not restrain his emotions after sensing his father's aura.

"Father." The Sun Emperor Son's voice trembled slightly as he looked toward the Divine Spirit Ancient Coffin.

There was no imperial body of the Sun Saint Emperor inside the coffin. Only a sheet of Human Skin remained, radiating golden light.

The Saint Emperor's fluctuations from earlier had come from this Human Skin.

Several drops of golden blood still stained the Human Skin, as though it had only recently been stripped away.

"Who touched Father's corpse?!" The Sun Emperor Son was both shocked and enraged, his voice suppressing indescribable fury.

The Yin Emperor Son beside him was likewise filled with anger and confusion. He shouted, "Who exactly tampered with the Saint Emperor's remains?!"

The Sun Saint Emperor attained the Dao after the Yin Human Emperor and shouldered the banner of the Human Race in that era. Even the Yin Emperor Son held him in the highest respect.

Now, even the Saint Emperor's bones were gone, with only a sheet of Human Skin left behind. Someone had clearly tampered with the Saint Emperor's imperial body.

"The deaths of the Two Human Emperors were both connected to the Myriad Races Divine Undying Heavenly Emperor of the past," Chen Zhao said.

Although he had long known the state of the Saint Emperor's coffin, Chen Zhao still felt a trace of sorrow for some reason.

The Sun Saint Emperor had towered above Since Ancient Times, possessing great courage and great compassion. Yet after his death, not even his bones could remain, and in Later Generations, only a single descendant was left.

After hearing Chen Zhao's words, the Two Emperor Sons suppressed their emotions and said with hatred in their voices, "Undying Heavenly Emperor."

"Next, I will attempt to bring the Two Saint Emperors back."

As Chen Zhao spoke, he released the Divine Senses of the Sun Saint Emperor and the Yin Human Emperor.

The Yin Human Emperor's Divine Sense had been found by the Yin God Sect.

The Two Emperor Sons put away their emotions and stood beside Chen Zhao.

The Yin Human Emperor's Divine Sense was a hazy black shadow draped in a black cloak, emitting an aura of ultimate evil and wickedness.

Strands of Black Light coiled around the surface of its body like halos of death.

The Sun Saint Emperor was tall and slender, dressed in a green robe and missing one arm. Ripples formed from Black Light radiated from his entire body, like a Black Sun encircling him.

Among the Emperors and Sovereigns Since Ancient Times, those who had rendered great service to all living beings would be remembered after death, and malignant thoughts would be born to wander the world.

That was why Divine Senses came into being. Not every Ancient Emperor would give rise to a Divine Sense.

Besides being remembered by all living beings, the most important factor was having obsessions too deep before death.

The Yin Human Emperor died on the Path to Immortality. He had harbored an obsession with becoming immortal during his life, and after death, a Divine Sense was born under the influence of Faith Power from all living beings.

The Sun Saint Emperor failed in his transformation. With his Lifespan nearly exhausted, he had no choice but to Pass Away. After death, his remains could not return to his homeland, and thus a Divine Sense was born.

At this moment, the two Divine Senses were tightly bound, unable even to struggle.

"Accumulated yang becomes spirit, and spirit possesses form. Form is born from the sun, and the sun is born from the moon. Accumulated yin becomes form, and form possesses spirit."

Chen Zhao sat cross-legged in midair and began reciting the Scripture of Salvation.

Scripture of Salvation.

It was a scripture created by the Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord in the past, and it was extraordinarily effective against Divine Senses and yin spirits.

Chen Zhao's Scripture of Salvation came from the Intercepting Heaven Dao, that ancient Heavenly Lord Dao Tradition and the sole remaining Heavenly Lord inheritance.

The sound of the recited scripture rang out, sonorous and forceful, as though it contained an aura of utmost hardness and utmost yang, purifying the two Divine Senses.

"Roar!" The two Divine Senses let out agonized howls as they suffered immense torment. Black Light radiated from their bodies while their evil aura continuously dissipated.

As the sound of the scripture continued, the two Divine Senses seemed on the verge of vanishing.

As though some boundary had been touched, two vast auras erupted in an instant.

Two towering and majestic phantoms appeared, carrying the power of eternal Years flowing across them.

Though it was only the revival of the Divine Senses and the temporary awakening of the Two Human Emperors' True Spirits,

they emitted overwhelming auras that suppressed the Myriad Daos, as though they would pierce through the Human World Universe.

"Father." The instant the Two Human Emperors' True Spirits awakened, the Two Emperor Sons could no longer control their emotions and blurted out the word.

"Fellow Daoist, why must you do this?" The Yin Human Emperor understood everything the moment he awakened and sighed.

It was simply too difficult to bring an emperor like him back.

The Sun Saint Emperor fixed his gaze on Chen Zhao and said, "The regret that Taiyin and I had in the past was that we failed to become a Chaos Body."

"I never expected that after I Pass Away, a Chaos Body would arise from our Human Race. The heavenly cycle turns, and our Human Race is destined to prosper."

The Sun Saint Emperor's gaze was complicated, holding gratification, regret, and relief.

"Fellow Daoist, it is simply too difficult to bring me back. This is the Forbidden Domain. Even if it can succeed, it will require an enormous price," the Sun Saint Emperor sighed.

Bringing an Imperial Dao expert back to the human world was far too difficult. This was the Forbidden Domain.

"Two Fellow Daoists, my mind is made up. You need not refuse." Chen Zhao waved his hand.

"Gather!"

As his words fell, Chen Zhao used a great divine ability to gather the Faith Power concerning the Two Human Emperors from the Universe Starry Sky.

Faith Power surged toward the Ziwei Emperor Star, flowing into Chen Zhao's hand and forming an ocean composed of Faith Power.

Auspicious Qi enveloped all of Ziwei, resonating with Ziwei in a peculiar manner. The phenomenon of Purple Qi Comes From the East appeared!

True Dragons roared, and Immortal Phoenixes danced through the sky.

The phenomena formed from Faith Power coiled before the Human Emperor Temple, presenting a scene of dragons appearing and phoenixes bringing auspiciousness.

The entire Human Emperor Temple was illuminated by Faith Power, its radiance soaring to the sky and drawing the attention of the major factions across Ziwei Star.

When they discovered that the anomaly originated from the Human Emperor Temple, no one dared investigate further.

"Gather!"

Chen Zhao merged the Faith Power into the remnant thoughts formed from the two Divine Senses.

Surging Faith Power converged and strengthened the two True Spirit remnants.

After being empowered by Faith Power, the two remnants grew increasingly solid.

It was as though the Human Emperors who had once ruled the world were about to return. Tangible Imperial Dao Pressure swept across the entire Ziwei Star Region, making all living things tremble.
