Invitation from the Forbidden Zone

Within the Immortal Gold ore vein beneath this small mountain, Chen Zhao could sense a life being nurtured within.

Clearly, that faint life was the Immortal Tears Green Gold Emperor of the Later Generations.

"What a pity it has yet to mature and be born. Otherwise, I could have tested Daoist Heavenly Lord's peculiar brewing method on it." Chen Zhao gazed at the Immortal Tears Green Gold below and sighed.

If a Saintly Spirit formed from sentient Immortal Tears Green Gold were used to brew wine, the effects would likely be extraordinarily explosive.

Even Daoist Heavenly Lord, who had created the Saintly Spirit Brewing Method, probably never encountered such an opportunity—to brew wine with an Immortal Gold Saintly Spirit.

"Right now, the Stone Emperor is still a Stone Embryo, hiding somewhere and gestating."

If the Stone Emperor, blessed by heaven, could be used to brew wine, then the Saintly Spirit Wine produced would also possess astonishing effects.

Chen Zhao glanced at the Immortal Tears Green Gold ore vein and could not help sighing.

"It can only be used to test the Saintly Spirit Method."

This Immortal Tears Green Gold, which was nurturing life, was the best means for him to test the Saintly Spirit Method.

This Immortal Tears Green Gold Saintly Spirit was rather fortunate.

Unlike Saintly Spirit Tai Chu, nurtured by the Primordial Ancient Mine, whose very birthplace had been seized by a group of Ancient Emperors, forcing it to flee.

The Immortal Fetus Saintly Spirit nurtured by the Primordial Ancient Mine had originally been destined to become an imperial-path Supreme. It could only be said that it was terribly unlucky, becoming an emperor only in the Heavenly Emperor era.

Chen Zhao inscribed Dao Patterns around Undying Mountain, concealing the place within Chaos and cutting off its aura.

He intended to use Undying Mountain as his cultivation Dao Arena.

As for moving it back to Ziwei Star, that would make too conspicuous a target. It was better left in Chaos.

After everything was prepared, Chen Zhao walked out of Undying Mountain. Chaos Qi once more spread through the area, while the surrounding Dao Patterns flickered with light, hiding everything within Chaos.

Chen Zhao left the Chaotic lands at the Cosmic Frontier and headed toward Ziwei Star.

Yet when he neared the Ziwei Star Region, he halted and looked into the Void ahead. He said coldly, "You've waited so long. Why not come out and meet me?"

"Fellow Daoist, your perception is truly exceptional."

Dao Patterns flickered in the Void and formed into the figure of a tall, upright man. Mist shrouded his body, obscuring his features, but his voice was forceful and resonant.

"Our paths differ, so we cannot plot together. There is no need to call me Fellow Daoist." Chen Zhao's voice was cold.

The man before him was an incarnation of a Forbidden Zone Supreme. Chen Zhao simply did not know which Forbidden Zone he came from.

Chen Zhao was somewhat curious about this Forbidden Zone Supreme's purpose.

"Why insist on this? Waiting for the Path to Immortality is the proper path. Even if Fellow Daoist's strength is extraordinary, in your Late Years, if you do not undergo Self-Severance, you will ultimately still Pass Away."

"Your past actions have already Cut off from the Forbidden Zone. In your Late Years, the Forbidden Zones will settle karma with you. No Forbidden Zone would dare accept you."

The Supreme's incarnation tried to persuade him, then continued, "If Fellow Daoist is willing to hand over the origin of your Chaos Body for our Primordial Ancient Mine to study, then we are willing—"

Before the Supreme's incarnation could finish, it sensed deadly Killing Intent sweeping toward it.

"Get lost!" Chen Zhao threw a punch. The terrifying Chaos Great Dao spread outward and blasted the Supreme's incarnation apart.

After destroying the Supreme's incarnation, Chen Zhao looked toward the Primordial Ancient Mine, his eyes filled with coldness.

The next moment, the Chaos Sword, which had long since transformed into the Human Emperor Sword, appeared in his hand.

Chen Zhao swung his arm and slashed a sword toward the Big Dipper Starfield.

Boom!

This sword strike was simply too terrifying. The instant it was swung out, the entire universe dimmed, leaving only a dreadful Sword Light flickering.

The Sword Light crossed an endless Star River and descended upon the Big Dipper Starfield.

The Primordial Ancient Mine had existed in the mortal world for countless Years.

In this era, the Primordial Ancient Mine was the supreme holy land of many races.

The forbidden beings within the ancient mine were worshipped and offered sacrifices by those races all year round.

Only the upper echelons of the Imperial Clans knew that the beings within the mine were the emperors of their races.

Before the eyes of all the Ancient Races, the universe suddenly darkened. Then, they felt a terrifying pressure descend upon them.

This pressure was so powerful that they could not even resist. They immediately fell to their knees, their breathing abruptly stopping.

"Human Emperor!"

Under that terrifying pressure, many experts of the Ancient Races sealed within Divine Source could not help recalling the Human Emperor's aura when he had once ruled over the Big Dipper.

Back then, beneath that aura, they had been unable even to breathe.

After many years, that aura had appeared once more.

"This is—"

Many sensed deadly Killing Intent approaching and immediately witnessed an incomparably horrifying sight.

The previously brilliant Star River above their heads had turned dim, as though the Universe Starry Sky itself had fallen into silence and extinction.

Against that darkened starry sky, only a single Sword Light remained aglow, radiating an incomparably dazzling brilliance.

That Sword Light was utterly terrifying. Even a glance at it gave many people the feeling of directly facing its sharp edge.

The Sword Light appeared before the creatures of the Big Dipper, growing increasingly brilliant until it illuminated the entire universe and made it impossible to open one's eyes.

Even as their eyes burned with piercing pain, no one looked away. They stared fixedly at that Sword Light.

They wanted to know who had provoked the Human Emperor into taking action.

Before the disbelieving eyes of the many Ancient Races, that Sword Light descended upon their holy land!

Before everyone's eyes, blinding light engulfed the Primordial Ancient Mine, and the entire Big Dipper seemed on the verge of collapse.

"How dare you!"

Furious roars rang out from within the Primordial Ancient Mine. Immediately afterward, countless Great Daos emerged and began suppressing the Sword Light.

Under the suppression of the Forbidden Zone Supremes, the Sword Light finally dispersed.

When the dazzling radiance faded, the Primordial Ancient Mine was left utterly shattered, a complete mess.

Upon the crimson earth, an abyssal sword scar was clearly visible. Traces of lingering Destructive Aura flickered in and out of sight, as though they would destroy this place.

That Sword Light had nearly split the entire Primordial Ancient Mine in two. Though they had blocked it, for the Forbidden Zone Supremes, it was undoubtedly the greatest humiliation.

"The Human Emperor has gone too far. We invited him into the ancient mine, yet he still insulted us like this."

"Our paths differ, so we cannot plot together. He is not on the same path as us. Forget it."

"When he reaches his Late Years, we will settle karma with him."

The Forbidden Zone Supremes of the Primordial Ancient Mine had never expected the Human Emperor not only to reject their goodwill, but also to draw his sword against their ancient mine.

This made them feel deeply humiliated.

That sword strike had been far too terrifying. Even they had felt their hearts tremble with fear.

The Supremes of the Primordial Ancient Mine could sense that the Human Emperor's strength was growing ever more terrifying.

Although they had suffered immense humiliation, no one wished to emerge and confront the Human Emperor at the peak of his power.

"They were provoked like this and still didn't act. They truly know how to endure."

In the Ziwei Star Region, Chen Zhao stood atop the Star River, put away the Human Emperor Sword, and looked in the direction of the Primordial Ancient Mine.

Unless their Lifespan was nearing its end and they needed to replenish their Life Essence, or the Path to Immortality opened, these Forbidden Zone Supremes would never emerge.
