Emperor Zun Returns, Slaying Eighteen Perfected Sacred Spirits in a Row

At first, these Dark Supremes had also been misled by the aura of the Perfected Sacred Spirit.

Later, they thought this Perfected Sacred Spirit had directly attained the Dao and become a Supreme.

Only after seeing that there was no heavenly tribulation did they realize in astonishment that things were not so simple.

This actually seemed to be an Ancient Venerable living out a new Lifetime.

This was a special Longevity Method.

After undergoing transformations for countless tens of thousands of years, he had become immensely powerful.

The myriad Daos of heaven and earth roared, and countless phenomena appeared. The commotion caused by this Sacred Spirit's birth was simply too great.

The immortal mountain that had nurtured the Perfected Sacred Spirit directly exploded, transforming into incomparably brilliant rain of light that drifted through the universe.

The Perfected Sacred Spirit's aura resonated and harmonized with the myriad Daos of heaven and earth. It was truly astonishing.

Anyone unaware of the truth might have thought he possessed a Chaotic Body.

"Cauldron, come!"

A long roar rang out, and from within the chaos, a great cauldron shimmering with Nine-Colored Immortal Light emerged.

This person had actually gathered the Nine Immortal Metals and forged them into his weapon for attaining the Dao.

That was truly shocking.

In this era, aside from Demon Venerable Li Ming, who had collected all Nine Immortal Metals, no one else had ever managed to gather every type of Immortal Gold.

Who would have thought this person possessed such immense fortune, enough to forge such an astonishingly heavy weapon?

"Is that the Immortal Ascension Cauldron?"

"Isn't that Primordial Heavenly Venerable's cauldron?"

"Could this person be Primordial Heavenly Venerable?"

"It really is him! He truly lived out a new Lifetime!"

No one had expected Primordial Heavenly Venerable to appear once more after the passage of endless years.

He had not severed himself with a single slash, yet he had lived until now.

Many Dark Supremes remembered the legends of Primordial Heavenly Venerable clearly.

Legend had it that he was Tribulation Heavenly Venerable's disciple, and the two had been both master and friend.

Back then, Primordial Heavenly Venerable had challenged Tribulation Heavenly Venerable, but he had not been Tribulation Heavenly Venerable's match.

Unexpectedly, after endless ages, Tribulation Heavenly Venerable's corpse had awakened as a spirit and attained the Dao to become a Supreme once more.

And his disciple, Primordial Heavenly Venerable, had likewise crossed endless ages and revived in this era.

"Primordial Heavenly Venerable is a thing of the past!"

"From this day onward, I am Emperor Zun!"

Emperor Zun's voice spread throughout the entire world, accompanied by the roaring Grand Dao Heavenly Sound. It was majestic and sacred.

"May Emperor Zun enjoy boundless longevity!"

"Long live Emperor Zun!"

Cheers rose from the major life-bearing planets, and the world erupted in celebration.

"I succeeded!"

"My transformation succeeded!"

"I have come back to life!"

Emperor Zun looked upon this world with a complicated expression.

He had not expected it to take more than a million years to complete his transformation. He had nearly missed the opening of the Road to Immortality.

With a brief deduction, he immediately learned much about the current era.

His gaze instantly crossed endless rivers of stars and landed upon Netherworld Emperor Duan De.

At that moment, Netherworld Emperor Duan De was also looking toward Emperor Zun.

Their gazes met, and in that instant, they understood something.

The relationship between the two was difficult to describe.

Back then, they had been master and disciple. But after his corpse awakened as a spirit, was Netherworld Emperor Duan De still that Tribulation Heavenly Venerable?

How were the two supposed to get along now?

Would they address each other as fellow Daoists from now on?

Emperor Zun's aura quickly vanished, and the world returned to normal once more.

Yet the entire world remained in an uproar.

To witness the revival of an Ancient Heavenly Venerable was an utterly earth-shattering event for them.

"I never expected Emperor Zun's previous life to be Primordial Heavenly Venerable."

"I truly never thought he could live until now without severing himself with a single slash."

"Yes, he actually succeeded in reviving."

"After transforming into a new Lifetime, he became incredibly powerful, and his lifespan increased enormously. It truly inspires envy."

"I originally thought Boundless Heavenly Venerable was the foremost researcher of Sacred Spirits, while Daode Tianzun was the foremost killer of Sacred Spirits. Now it seems the truth is completely different. Perhaps Primordial Heavenly Venerable is the true foremost researcher of Sacred Spirits."

"Yes, he may have killed even more Sacred Spirits than Daode Tianzun."

"It seems he has truly glimpsed the secrets of Sacred Spirits."

"Perhaps we can also try the Sacred Spirit Transformation Method. I believe my comprehension is certainly no worse than Boundless Heavenly Venerable's or Emperor Zun's."

"Wait for now. Let's discuss it after the Road to Immortality opens. Perhaps once we become immortals, we will not need to worry about whether we can transform."

Emperor Zun's return from death was an extremely earth-shattering matter for all the Dark Supremes.

It had a tremendous impact on them.

They had sealed themselves away for endless ages. Seeing such a legendary figure appear once more left their hearts churning, and they could not calm down for a long time.

First they saw Boundless Heavenly Venerable live out a new Lifetime, then Daode Tianzun, then Netherworld Venerable, then Demon Venerable. One after another, they transformed and lived out new Lifetimes. They truly found it hard to remain calm.

Everyone else's transformation methods had their own strengths, and it was difficult for them to peer into their mysteries.

But ever since Boundless Heavenly Venerable had passed on the Sacred Spirit Transformation Method, they had gained an extremely deep understanding of it.

Now, they could be said to have personally witnessed how Emperor Zun had successfully transformed.

Emperor Zun had actually used the Sacred Spirit Transformation Method to cross the long years and appear in this era.

The current Emperor Zun was like a guiding lamp.

Many Dark Supremes had already made up their minds. If they truly could not become immortals, they would transform into Perfected Sacred Spirits, seal themselves away for endless ages, and wait for the future Roads to Immortality on Big Dipper and Feixian Star.

After considering it from every angle, becoming a Perfected Sacred Spirit was still the most suitable method.

It could mend the cracks in the Immortal Platform and give them a chance to regret their choices.

More importantly, Perfected Sacred Spirits could remain sealed indefinitely without needing to sever themselves with a single slash.

When necessary, they could undergo Extreme Sublimation and truly transform into Supremes.

Many people thought that no matter what, they would have to capture more Perfected Sacred Spirits in the future, study them carefully, and then transform.

The Sacred Spirits throughout the universe no longer knew whether they should celebrate or wail in despair.

In theory, the increasing number of Sacred Spirits should have indirectly strengthened the Sacred Spirit Race.

But now that these Dark Supremes had set their sights on the Sacred Spirits, they were doomed.

Whether they were Perfected Sacred Spirits or Sacred Spirit Supremes, as long as they could help them transform and survive, the Dark Supremes did not care about anything else.

As for why these Dark Supremes were so convinced that they could succeed?

Did that even need to be said? Which Supreme in this world had not swept aside all opposition and remained invincible on the path to becoming a Supreme, ruling the world for twenty thousand years with boundless confidence?

Even after severing themselves with a single slash and becoming Dark Supremes, their confidence remained overwhelming.

They would never readily admit that they were inferior to others.

Even after watching Demon Venerable slaughter so many Dark Supremes as easily as killing chickens and dogs, they remained brimming with confidence.

At this moment, within the Sacred Spirit Forbidden Zone.

One Perfected Sacred Spirit after another wore expressions of extreme fury.

They stared with venomous eyes at that terrifying figure in the Cosmic Frontier Wasteland.

They had never imagined that this person was Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Yet now he arrogantly called himself Emperor Zun.

How many Perfected Sacred Spirits had he killed to comprehend the Sacred Spirit Transformation Method?

Whenever they thought of that question, these Perfected Sacred Spirits could not suppress their killing intent.

"Sacred Spirits can challenge Supremes too!"

"Brothers and sisters, attack together!"

Rumble!

One overwhelmingly powerful aura after another erupted as these Perfected Sacred Spirits, brimming with confidence, emerged.

Eighteen incomparably terrifying figures flashed into existence in the Cosmic Frontier Wasteland.

They charged toward Emperor Zun.

"What? Who dares show disrespect toward Emperor Zun?"

"They are Perfected Sacred Spirits!"

"Emperor Zun is being besieged by Perfected Sacred Spirits!"

With a deafening boom, heaven and earth collapsed.

Emperor Zun threw a punch, shaking past and present alike, as though he had shattered the river of time and blasted apart the Thirty-Three Heavens.

The newly reborn Emperor Zun was immensely powerful. Facing eighteen Perfected Sacred Spirits, he was utterly fearless.

With a single punch, he directly blasted one Perfected Sacred Spirit apart, raising a bloody tempest.

With another deafening boom, Emperor Zun shone with boundless radiance. With a casual wave of his hand, he slapped another Perfected Sacred Spirit to death.

Emperor Zun was truly incomparably domineering and unmatched by anyone.

In a single exchange, he had already killed two Perfected Sacred Spirits.

"Emperor Zun, you are indeed powerful. But since you have offended our Sacred Spirit Lineage, you must die today!"

"You occupied our Sacred Spirit Divine Mountain and devoured all the Sacred Spirits. This is an insult to our Sacred Spirit Lineage!"

Mysterious voices of curses arose. Favored by Heaven, these Perfected Sacred Spirits had naturally comprehended this unique curse technique.

This unusual kind of law and secret art was difficult to detect. It was also one of the universe's most powerful laws, something ordinary people could hardly resist.

Yet Emperor Zun's expression remained cold.

"I am Heaven's true favored child."

"You pieces of trash will never attain the Dao and become Supremes in your entire lives. What can you do to me?"

Emperor Zun's expression grew increasingly icy. Grand Dao Heavenly Sound resounded from within his body, and nine mysterious Emperor Runes emerged, as though cast from divine metal.

The Sacred Spirits' curses could not touch Emperor Zun at all. In the blink of an eye, they were ground away by those nine Emperor Runes.

The mysterious power contained within the nine Emperor Runes was the power of laws.

With a deafening boom, Emperor Zun's Immortal Ascension Cauldron appeared.

Although the Immortal Ascension Cauldron had not yet become an Immortal Weapon, it was already immensely powerful.

The Immortal Ascension Cauldron charged wildly about, smashing one Sacred Spirit divine weapon after another. It even opened its mouth and swallowed them directly.

It even released mysterious Grand Dao chains to bind the Perfected Sacred Spirits.

Meanwhile, Emperor Zun's body emitted incomparably brilliant radiance, blazing as though it were burning fiercely.

He rampaged through them, and every strike blew apart a Perfected Sacred Spirit, reducing them completely to ashes.

At that moment, Emperor Zun was like a god, looking down upon all the Perfected Sacred Spirits.

Heaven and earth shattered. These Perfected Sacred Spirits were all stunned senseless.

How was Emperor Zun so powerful?

No matter how the eighteen Perfected Sacred Spirits deduced it, they believed they could surely kill Emperor Zun.

After all, each of them alone could challenge a Supreme. Though they would be beaten to death, they still believed they could challenge Supremes.

With the combined combat power of eighteen Perfected Sacred Spirits, they could wear down even a Heavenly Venerable to death.

"I am Emperor Zun. I shall establish the Heavenly Court and rule over all things in this world!"

"You lowly Sacred Spirit beasts dare challenge my majesty!"

"Die!"

Emperor Zun's voice spread through the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Lands like rolling thunder and crashing seas.

But when the Perfected Sacred Spirits heard it, waves of dread ran through them.

Emperor Zun—what an arrogant title.

The Heavenly Court was said to be inauspicious. Everyone who established one would be cursed and collapse for no apparent reason.

Yet Emperor Zun was so arrogant that he declared he would establish the Heavenly Court.

These Perfected Sacred Spirits frantically besieged Emperor Zun. They firmly believed that enough ants could bite an elephant to death, and they refused to believe Emperor Zun could keep going.

More than a dozen Perfected Sacred Spirits looked savage as they erupted with power and attacked desperately.

With a puff, another Perfected Sacred Spirit's body exploded into ash, and torrential blood rain fell.

With a deafening boom, Emperor Zun directly ignited a Perfected Sacred Spirit. It burned fiercely, and even its primordial spirit turned to ashes.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Emperor Zun was actually this powerful—powerful beyond belief.

At that moment, Emperor Zun was like a tiger among sheep, casually blasting apart one Perfected Sacred Spirit after another.

With every wave of his hand, countless Grand Dao runes danced, densely interwoven with divine light. He casually slapped another Perfected Sacred Spirit to death.

No one could withstand his edge.

"How did he do it?"

"Why did living out a new Lifetime make him so powerful?"

These Perfected Sacred Spirits could not make sense of it no matter how hard they thought.

If it had been a Supreme or even a Heavenly Venerable, they would still have had some understanding of their strength.

But ever since Emperor Zun had entered his Third Lifetime, he had become terrifyingly powerful.

He was not the Chaotic Body Demon Venerable. How had he gained combat strength comparable to Demon Venerable's?

"This is nothing. Demon Venerable can do it, and so can I." Emperor Zun's expression remained calm.

After reviving, Emperor Zun understood many of the things that had happened during his transformation in the blink of an eye.

Demon Venerable was now known as the foremost expert among the Nine Heavenly Venerables.

Emperor Zun could now be called the tenth Heavenly Venerable.

He still did not have a clear understanding of Demon Venerable's strength, and he was eager to test himself.

Originally, he had planned to catch up with Netherworld Venerable before challenging Demon Venerable.

He had not expected these Perfected Sacred Spirits to be so overconfident, courting death like moths flying into a flame.

Since that was the case, he would send them on their way.

The remaining ten Perfected Sacred Spirits desperately burned their origins and essence blood, forming a bizarre formation that seemed ready to recreate heaven and earth.

They no longer had any path of retreat. They could only fight for their lives.

Great Dao laws intertwined, their auras connecting and becoming incomparably terrifying.

Yet Emperor Zun remained completely unscathed.

With a thunderous boom, another Perfected Sacred Spirit was blown apart, its body scattering in every direction like a meteor.

With a casual palm strike from Emperor Zun came an incomparably dazzling radiance, a great hand that blotted out the sky and covered the earth, unstoppable by anyone.

With a puff, another Perfected Sacred Spirit was blown apart. Blood bloomed like flowers, bewitching and beautiful.

Emperor Zun's figures filled the sky. Clearly, everyone was besieging Emperor Zun, yet it seemed as though Emperor Zun were besieging them all.

Emperor Zun alone had surrounded an entire group.

The Sacred Spirit nurturing a Dragon-Patterned Black Gold weapon was blasted apart by Emperor Zun's palm, and the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold was devoured by the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.

The Sacred Spirit whose body had nurtured a Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold weapon was lightly slapped by Emperor Zun. It immediately vomited blood, its entire body bursting into blazing flames before exploding with a roar.

The Sacred Spirit with a Dao Tribulation Gold weapon frantically burned its origin and charged Emperor Zun with mad desperation.

Facing this Sacred Spirit, Emperor Zun directly seized the Dao Tribulation Gold, kneaded it for a while, then tossed it into the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.

As for that Sacred Spirit, he caught it in his hand and gave it a light squeeze, reducing it to a cloud of ash.

Everything was dreamlike and illusory, utterly unbelievable.

After these Perfected Sacred Spirits were blown apart, their bodily fragments, origins, and essence blood were all devoured by the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.

The Immortal Gold nurtured within their bodies was accepted by the Immortal Ascension Cauldron without the slightest hesitation.

The last three Sacred Spirits were already panicking.

They began desperately burning their origins as they fled for their lives.

"Where do you think you can run to?"

Emperor Zun's voice was full of mockery.

With a puff, he stomped one Sacred Spirit to death.

Then, with two more puffs, he stomped the other two Sacred Spirits to death as well.

The scenes of these battles were clearly reflected in the starry sky through fragments of time.

Countless living beings witnessed that dazzling spectacle and were utterly shaken.

Emperor Zun possessed such immense power that he seemed like a True Immortal descended into the world.

Facing the attacks of eighteen Perfected Sacred Spirits, he slaughtered them as easily as killing chickens and dogs, chopping melons and vegetables.

At this moment, Emperor Zun was overwhelmingly powerful, carrying an invincible majesty.

With the final three screams, the lives of those three Perfected Sacred Spirits came to an end.

Eighteen Perfected Sacred Spirit imprints now appeared upon the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, incomparably brilliant and radiating boundless light.

It burned like the sun, even igniting countless surrounding stars.

The weapon spirit of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron actually began using the origins and essence blood of the eighteen Perfected Sacred Spirits to temper itself, seeking to evolve and transform.

This was a weapon spirit with great ambitions.

No wonder that after becoming an Immortal Weapon, the weapon spirit of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron underwent Nirvana and became the Divine Baby. It had been unwilling to remain a weapon spirit and instead wished to become a true person.

Its uniqueness had already revealed itself at this time.

Countless runes danced around Emperor Zun's body. Golden radiance blotted out the sky and covered the earth, dyeing vast stretches of the Chaos Sea gold.

These eighteen Perfected Sacred Spirits posed no threat whatsoever to Emperor Zun. Instead, they were like gifts sent to him by Heaven.

Using these eighteen Perfected Sacred Spirits as stepping stones, Emperor Zun forcefully announced his return.

Carrying the might of having slain eighteen Perfected Sacred Spirits, no one could withstand his edge.

The deaths of eighteen Perfected Sacred Spirits shook the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

"Emperor Zun!"

"Emperor Zun!"

Countless living beings erupted into fervor, driven mad with excitement.

Another powerhouse comparable to Demon Venerable had risen.

Countless sages spread the news of Emperor Zun slaughtering eighteen Perfected Sacred Spirits to life-bearing planets everywhere.

The great sacred lands, aristocratic clans, and all the living beings of heaven and earth throughout the universe shouted Emperor Zun's name.

Emperor Zun was invincible beneath heaven, the sole sovereign of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

To everyone, this was a myth.

The newly revived Emperor Zun had killed eighteen Perfected Sacred Spirits in mere moments. Throughout all of history, only Demon Venerable's slaughter of eleven Dark Supremes in a single day could compare.

This was an achievement that stood shoulder to shoulder with Demon Venerable's.

At that moment, the entire universe erupted.
