Heavenly Emperor Crushes the Forbidden Zones

Four Supremes had fallen. Blood stained the starry sky, and the Cosmic Frontier lay in ruins.

Meng Chuan had slain four Extraterrestrial Supremes, and the entire universe felt it. Understanding dawned in the hearts of countless living beings.

Dao Beginning Great Emperor had slain four Great Emperors from the Outer Regions at the Cosmic Frontier!

Everyone was stunned. Then came boundless joy. With the four Extraterrestrial Supremes dead, the beings of the universe were safe.

"Heavenly Emperor!"

A Quasi-Emperor cried out as he looked at Meng Chuan. This was a supreme Heavenly Emperor!

"A supreme Heavenly Emperor..." Jiang Daoran gazed at Meng Chuan and sighed.

"A Heavenly Emperor..." Qingyue bit her lip, momentarily lost in thought. She remembered the peerless Great Emperor who had invited her to walk the Immortal Path with him a hundred years ago.

"Perhaps you really can become immortal. Of all the emperors and sovereigns since ancient times, who else has accomplished what you have?"

At that thought, Qingyue fell silent and watched Meng Chuan.

"Who knew this guy had gotten so strong? I refuse to accept it!" Ji Lianxing declared with her usual carefree bluntness as she watched Meng Chuan. A wild girl was a wild girl; nothing ever fazed her.

The Forbidden Zone Supremes were the ones most shaken by the power Meng Chuan had displayed in this battle.

"Dao Shi is too strong. Unbelievably strong!" A Supreme of the Undying Mountain stared gravely at the figure on the Cosmic Frontier whom people called Heavenly Emperor.

"He truly can be called a Heavenly Emperor now..." another Supreme murmured.

"He rivals, perhaps even surpasses, Emperor Zun. He can be compared to the Legend of the Desolate Heaven Emperor, who may not even have existed," a Supreme of the Primordial Ancient Mine said with a sigh.

"No. Emperor Zun's power is not so easily surpassed. But Dao Shi truly has become a figure of the same order as Emperor Zun and the Legend of the Desolate Heaven Emperor. Ten million years from now, his will be another Legend of invincibility."

A Supreme from the Immortal Mausoleum rejected the claim that Meng Chuan had surpassed Emperor Zun. Those who had never seen Emperor Zun could not imagine such power. It was the same with Dao Shi before them: who would have known one man could slay four emperors alone?

"I wonder what this Human Race Heavenly Emperor thinks of our Life Forbidden Zones..." A Supreme from the Reincarnation Sea spoke in an unreadable tone.

"We haven't emerged to harvest the great medicine in this lifetime!"

"Hmph. If he wants to wipe out the forbidden zones, we can always flee and hide from the world. A Heavenly Emperor doesn't live forever!"

His tone was fierce, but his words were anything but brave.

As Meng Chuan stood among the stars, several Quasi-Emperors prepared to approach him, only to see him vanish before their eyes.

"Where is the Heavenly Emperor going?"

The Quasi-Emperors exchanged baffled looks.

Boom!

The Heavenly Emperor's boundless divine might erupted, shaking the entire universe. Everyone knew where Meng Chuan was.

The Big Dipper Ancient Star!

Meng Chuan's Dao laws bore down on all six Life Forbidden Zones of the Big Dipper Ancient Star except the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. Every Quasi-Emperor trembled at the sight.

Was he going to wipe out every forbidden zone by himself?

"Dao Shi, what are you doing?!" A Supreme in the Primordial Ancient Mine sent out a divine thought, demanding an answer.

"What my Human Race forebears left unfinished!" Meng Chuan replied coldly, looking toward the six Life Forbidden Zones.

The appearance of the four Outer Regions Supremes had completely ruined his plan. He had intended to enter each forbidden zone gradually over the two lifetimes of his reign, slowly whittling down their Supremes and building their hatred. Then, in his second lifetime's twilight years, he could provoke them into attacking together and slay several Supremes in one stroke.

If the plan succeeded, at least two or three forbidden zones would be gone by the time Meng Chuan "passed away." The Human Race's Great Emperors had already worn down the Supremes' numbers over the ages, so his plan had stood a good chance of succeeding.

The forbidden zones had no reason to flee far away from an ordinary Great Emperor.

But the four Outer Regions Supremes had forced Meng Chuan to reveal his strength. His original plan could no longer work. He might as well strike now and sweep away a forbidden zone.

"Dao Shi, don't push us too far!"

"We are Supremes of the imperial path! When we guarded this universe, your ancestors had yet to be born! Do you mean to defy your betters today?" a Supreme scolded him from on high.

"You were Supremes of the imperial path only in your first lifetimes. You deserved respect then. But in the ages since, how many times has Dark Turmoil brought suffering to all living beings?" Meng Chuan's expression remained calm, but his voice was resolute. He had been born human, and some bonds could never be cast aside.

"Today, I will wipe you all out!"

"Arrogant! You mean to face all six forbidden zones alone?!" a Supreme roared.

"Our forebears laid the foundation. Even if I cannot finish the work in this lifetime, those who come after will carry on our will!" Meng Chuan's voice shook the universe. Everyone was stirred by his words. This was a Human Race Great Emperor!

"Die!"

Meng Chuan struck at once. He had chosen the Divine Ruins as his target. Though it held fewer Supremes than the Primordial Ancient Mine, many were still hidden there, making it the best choice.

Much of the place consisted of ruins from Emperor Zun's Ancient Heavenly Court: towers, halls, and formation patterns carved by Emperor Zun's own hand.

Boom!

Heaven and earth shook. Meng Chuan unleashed the full might of a Heavenly Emperor and sent the Divine Ruins into the starry reaches of the universe, so the battle would not harm the living beings of Beidou.

It was not that the Divine Ruins' Supremes failed to resist. Every measure they took was simply undone by Meng Chuan.

Immortal Source shattered, and four figures stepped out. They were the four remaining Supremes of the Divine Ruins!

"Fellow Daoists, if you do not act now, when will you? Will you wait for Dao Shi to pick us off one by one?"

A Supreme of the Divine Ruins shouted, hoping to draw the Supremes of the other Life Forbidden Zones into the fight against Meng Chuan.

Powerful auras surged from the other Life Forbidden Zones. Their Supremes were about to aid the four from the Divine Ruins.

Clang!

The sound of a cauldron rang out, shaking the ages.

"It's the Immortal Cauldron from earlier!" a Supreme cried.

"How is this possible? That Immortal Artifact belonged to the four Extraterrestrial Supremes. How can Dao Shi control it so easily?" None of the Supremes understood. Even an Emperor Weapon would resist a new wielder, let alone an Immortal Artifact!

With the Immortal Cauldron floating above his head, Meng Chuan looked toward the other Life Forbidden Zones and shouted, "This time, I am attacking only the Divine Ruins! If you help them, think carefully about whether you can survive after undergoing Ultimate Sublimation!"

"I can lift my blockade of the Dao and let you flee! The Immortal Path is not far off. After enduring for countless ages, would you really give your lives for those who might compete with you on that path?"

It was an open scheme. To help the Divine Ruins, a Supreme would have to undergo Ultimate Sublimation. Whether Meng Chuan died was uncertain, but that Supreme would certainly die, losing all hope of becoming immortal. If they did not help the Divine Ruins, he would let them leave. Once they fled, he could not find them, and they could simply endure until after he "passed away" to emerge again.

That was human nature. These Forbidden Zone Supremes were selfish to the extreme. Give their lives for someone else?

What kind of bullshit was that?

Seeing the other five forbidden zones hesitate, Meng Chuan lifted his Dao blockade over Beidou, demonstrating his "sincerity."

"Well played, Dao Shi. You've gotten your way today!"

"Even after countless ages, we will not forget you!"

A Supreme from one of the Life Forbidden Zones spoke in a sinister voice.

"Then hurry up and leave before I change my mind! And why are you so fixated on me? I'm a man!" Meng Chuan snapped impatiently.

"Fellow Daoists..." The four Supremes of the Divine Ruins still wanted to say something, but the other five Life Forbidden Zones had already flown into the distant unknown, vanishing completely.

Meng Chuan ignored the forbidden zones that had disappeared and turned to his opponents. Hmm. A new set of four Supremes. His voice was icy.

"Everyone, it's time for you to be on your way!"
