Second Life

Chen Zhao's Wheel and Sea Mystery was no longer as vigorous as before. The twilight aura filled his Wheel and Sea Mystery, and it had begun to arise within his other mysteries as well.

Heaven and earth were balanced, and so was the human body. The Wheel and Sea encompassed life and death.

Within the Wheel and Sea Mystery, life and death turned in cycles, endlessly giving rise and endlessly dying, forming a balance between life and death.

Now, the life and death within Chen Zhao's Wheel and Sea had fallen out of balance, signaling that he had reached his late years.

When the Human-Shaped Undying Medicine was completely reborn, it emitted a peculiar Dao rhythm. This Dao rhythm was immensely mysterious and subtle, containing the mysteries of life and death.

Chen Zhao comprehended this mysterious Dao rhythm, and in the process, his Wheel and Sea underwent enormous changes.

The entire Wheel and Sea Mystery shone, and the Spring of Life once more surged with boundless vitality.

The twilight aura that had permeated it was immediately washed away, replaced by renewed life.

Life and death formed a balance once again.

The Wheel and Sea brimmed with vitality. The twilight aura throughout his body was scattered, his depleted blood and qi became vigorous, and powerful life force swept forth.

His hair turned from white to black as powerful waves of life erupted outward.

At that moment, the Ziwei Cauldron Above the Nine Heavens flashed with resplendent light.

It emerged from the Void and intercepted every trace of life force that was about to spread throughout the universe.

Within the palace in the depths of the Intercepting Heaven Dao, Chen Zhao opened his eyes, which gleamed with sharp light.

"The profound meaning of life and death—seizing a sliver of life."

When the Human-Shaped Undying Medicine successfully completed its nirvana, it had actually released a profound meaning of life and death.

Moreover, the Human-Shaped Undying Medicine had also driven him into nirvana. Combined with that peculiar profound meaning of life and death, he had successfully lived a Second Life.

"A Second Life really is powerful." Chen Zhao examined himself and could sense that his essence, qi, and spirit had undergone a transformation.

This was a transformation of his very essence, a leap in his level of life.

The transformation of every life elevated one's level of life, until one ultimately leaped into the Immortal Dao Domain.

Should I kill a few Supremes to celebrate? The thought suddenly surfaced in Chen Zhao's mind.

Having lived a Second Life, the best way to test his strength was naturally through actual combat. "After so long, quite a few people should be getting impatient."

The lifespan of his single life exceeded the combined lifespan of others' two lives, enough to make those short-lived Ancient Emperors green with envy.

Above the Nine Heavens.

The Chaos Great Dao suppressed all things, intimidating the Cosmic Eight Desolations.

The Human Emperor had not appeared for far too long. If not for the fact that they could still sense the Chaos Great Dao suppressing the Nine Heavens, many would have suspected that the Human Emperor had already passed away.

The Human Emperor's reign had simply lasted too long—thirty-six thousand years.

Over such a vast span of years, aside from those sealed within Divine Source, all cultivators who had witnessed the Human Emperor attain the Dao had transformed into the Dao under the passage of time.

To the current Great Universe, the Human Emperor was nothing more than a legend.

Above the Nine Heavens, the Chaos Great Dao that stood above the Myriad Daos and suppressed the universe suddenly shook violently. The Myriad Daos wailed in grief.

An aura of Dao Transformation spread out, sweeping across the entire universe.

The Human Emperor was about to undergo Dao Transformation!

The news spread without wings, throwing the entire universe into an uproar.

During his reign, the Human Emperor had enlightened the Human Race, restoring its strength to its peak and allowing a single race to suppress the Myriad Races of the universe.

The Human Race, which had once suffered miserably on the Big Dipper Star, had grown powerful because of the Human Emperor and gained a voice of its own.

The Human Emperor's impending Dao Transformation would shatter the current order of the universe.

The peace that had lasted tens of thousands of years might vanish, and bloodshed and chaos were about to return.

The Human Emperor was about to pass away.

Not only was the Human Race plunged into panic, even the Myriad Races were terrified.

After all, he was an unrivaled emperor who had reigned over the Nine Heavens. Everyone knew that if he passed away, it would trigger a series of problems.

Big Dipper Starfield.

No one would have imagined that the majestic Big Dipper Star was home to clusters of Heavenly Lords and Ancient Emperors who had not died.

Rumble!

The laws of the entire Big Dipper Star danced wildly, and heaven and earth trembled. Immortal music rang continuously from the forbidden zones scattered across the land.

Light shot into the sky from every major Life Forbidden Zone. The auras of Heavenly Lords and Ancient Emperors filled the air, erupting in an instant.

Within the Sea of Reincarnation Forbidden Zone, silver seawater churned violently. Several figures resembling demon gods emerged from it. Every one of them was terrifying beyond measure, all exuding overwhelming might. A single wisp of their aura was enough to crush the Cosmic Star River.

They were no longer Supreme avatars, but the true bodies of Ancient Supremes who had severed themselves long ago.

The Sea of Reincarnation Forbidden Zone had existed since ancient times. Carefree Heavenly Lord, one of the Mythological Nine Heavens Venerables, lingered on within the Sea of Reincarnation.

The Supremes within had all been sealed since the Mythological Era.

They were too ancient. Each of their lives formed part of the universe's history; they were living fossils who had truly witnessed the changes of years.

Ancient history walking among mortals.

During that time, they had launched unrest time and again, harvesting the essence of All Spirits to prolong themselves.

When the Human Emperor had pointed his sword at the Sea of Reincarnation, they had not dared to emerge.

Now that the Human Emperor was about to undergo Dao Transformation, the Supremes of the Sea of Reincarnation intended to emerge, divide the Human Emperor's Chaos Origin, and explore the mysteries of the Chaos Body.

Chaos Body.

It had appeared only briefly during the Mythological Era, yet even Heavenly Lords and Ancient Emperors coveted such a physique.

The Chaos Body had emerged in this era and proven the Dao to become an emperor, displaying exceptionally formidable combat strength.

This left the many Forbidden Zone Supremes burning with envy. They had waited for a long time, and at last, they had waited for the Human Emperor's late years.

Hunt the Cosmic True Dragon and seize the Chaos Origin.

That was the purpose behind the emergence of the Forbidden Zone Supremes.

"He has grown old. I can sense it—his Dao is unstable, and he has begun to undergo Dao Transformation."

"Without Self-Severance, this is ultimately The End. The karma of the past is about to be settled. I am greatly looking forward to the Chaos Body's origin."

"Heh, the causes of the past have borne today's fruit. No matter how strong he is, this is ultimately The End."

Three Supremes from the Sea of Reincarnation awakened. Their terrifying auras swept across the Cosmic Eight Desolations, announcing their return. Even the Star River beneath their feet showed signs of collapsing.

"Are they not coming?" One Forbidden Zone Supreme glanced toward the other regions of Big Dipper.

"Heh, a bunch of cowards trying to sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight. That depends on whether they have the strength to do so." A Forbidden Zone Supreme said disdainfully.

He understood the others' intentions perfectly. They undoubtedly intended to let them fight the Human Emperor to the death before emerging to reap the rewards.

But if they wanted to reap the rewards, it would depend on who came out alive.

The Forbidden Zone Supremes of the Sea of Reincarnation were the first to emerge. They set out toward the Ziwei Star Region, where the Human Emperor stood guard.

The Supreme Deities of old had emerged! This news spread without wings throughout the entire universe, plunging the Myriad Races into panic.

The entire universe trembled. All living beings fell into profound terror, as though they had plunged into a bottomless abyss, their bodies chilled to the bone.

The ancient lineages in particular understood the universe's greatest secret.

The Heavenly Lords and Ancient Emperors of old had not died. Instead, they had severed themselves and become forbidden zones.

Now that the Human Emperor was about to undergo Dao Transformation, so many Forbidden Zone Supremes had emerged, and their purpose was self-evident.

This meant that a vast Divine War was about to begin!
