Forbidden Zone Supreme

Dao arts rippled, and boundless magical power spread across the sky.

A powerful cultivator glimpsed the scene in the starry sky, his voice trembling. "Shen Ming is overpowering Wan Qing and the other two!"

It was terrifying. Was this the peerless prodigy who had emerged from a Forbidden Zone?

Wan Qing struggled the most. His cultivation realm was low, and he could only hold his own by relying on that Green Lotus's power to shatter all laws.

Even so, Wan Qing was far from weak. A Green Lotus manifested behind him, like the first opening of chaos, when all things lay silent. A lotus seed was born amid the chaos, absorbed the chaotic qi of heaven and earth, and broke free of its cocoon, growing over countless ages into a Chaos Green Lotus.

Someone exclaimed in shock, "That's the Chaos Green Lotus from the dawn of heaven and earth!!! Could that be Wan Qing's origin? How terrifying!"

That had to be it! Only such an origin could explain why the weapon in Wan Qing's hand was so terrifying, capable of shattering all laws!

"If Wan Qing really is a descendant of the Chaos Green Lotus, even some Emperor's Sons couldn't match his origins! That's the Chaos Green Lotus, the first Green Lotus born when heaven and earth were split apart. Rumor has it he became an Immortal long ago!"

"Then... could Wan Qing be descended from a legendary True Immortal?"

People began to speculate. Did Immortals truly exist in this world?

Shen Ming's expression grew grave. He stared fixedly at the phantom Chaos Green Lotus behind the Azure Emperor. Though he was the son of a Supreme, the supreme bloodline he took such pride in seemed to lose some of its luster before the Azure Emperor.

The Azure Emperor truly had ties to the legendary "Immortals"!

"Good! Very good! Once I capture you and take you back, I'll study every inch of you!" Madness filled Shen Ming's eyes. The Azure Emperor's origins were staggering, involving the legendary Immortals!

Boom...

The Green Lotus Divine Weapon crashed into Shen Ming's laws, shattering every last one once again.

This weapon was extraordinary. It could shatter every law in the world!

Endless laws spread, staining the horizon with terrifying seven-colored radiance. That radiance was made up of one law after another, interweaving and colliding.

At the sight, the two Demon Race experts grew even more determined to protect Wan Qing!

Perhaps Wan Qing truly could defy heaven in this age, attaining the Dao and becoming an emperor in the Dharma-Ending Era, shattering myth to become the first since Desolate Antiquity!

Humm-

The Azure Emperor's expression remained unchanged. He was evolving his own existence, burning his blood essence to trace his origins backward.

Shen Ming was too powerful. Though he stood in the Saint King realm, his strength already rivaled a Great Saint's. They were nowhere near his match. Now he unleashed all his killing moves, delivering a supreme strike filled with terrifying fluctuations of Dao arts. No one could withstand it!

Even the two Demon Race Saint Kings' expressions changed drastically as they retreated again and again.

Could they truly no longer stop him?

At last!

"A Single Lotus Through the Eternal Blue Heavens-"

Such a voice seemed to echo between heaven and earth, arriving from ages past, seeping from the future into the present. It carried an unimaginable terror.

Countless experts were shaken. The Azure Emperor still had a trump card like this!

A power that did not belong to this era! Summoned for him!

That power crossed layer upon layer of spacetime and finally descended into the present world. Though weakened beyond measure, it still delivered a strike approaching the Quasi-Emperor level!

Shen Ming was alarmed and hurriedly retreated, but the strike wounded him nonetheless. The armor forged from black nether iron lost its luster, the active energy within exhausted. A massive breach split open across his chest. The Nether Armor had been pierced!

At that very moment, a figure was approaching from afar.

He was a Great Saint of the Demon Race, their only Great Saint! His realm was infinitely close to Quasi-Emperor, yet he had never been able to cross that threshold.

Demon Race experts had once approached this peerless Demon Sage, asking him to unite the Demon Race, but he had indirectly refused. He had frankly stated that his strength was not enough to win everyone's allegiance. Many clans of the Demon Race were proud by nature, believing their bloodlines extraordinary, and would not submit to a Great Saint like him who possessed no noble bloodline.

Hidden within the Time Mirror, Luo Yan watched the scene in silence. The Azure Emperor's inevitable attainment of the Dao was no empty claim. It stemmed from an immense karmic bond forged long ago.

Even this world had been evolved by a single person, and its cultivation system had likewise been created by one person. The Azure Emperor shared an immense karmic bond with that man.

That power came from the Azure Emperor's former incarnation-the Chaos Green Lotus!

It had crossed endless spacetime solely to resolve this tribulation.

Only an Immortal King possessed such terrifying strength. Even if his true body could not come, he could use karmic ties to deliver a full-power strike that pierced through ages of spacetime. After being weakened layer upon layer, it arrived in the present world, leaving behind a strike comparable to a Quasi-Emperor's.

Wounded, Shen Ming stared at the scene in disbelief.

"Just what are your origins!!! Are you the Chaos Green Lotus's own son?"

Fear appeared on his face. He should not have emerged in this lifetime, but a few lesser demons had accidentally entered the Forbidden Zone and carelessly revealed some facts. From them, he had learned that the Azure Emperor had originally been an Immortal Medicine, but had now taken human form and severed his medicinal body.

If he could devour him, not only would his cultivation increase, he would also gain an immense lifespan!

An Immortal Medicine was something even his father, a Forbidden Zone Supreme, yearned to obtain!

Thus, he had made an exception and unsealed himself, leaving the Forbidden Zone solely to capture the Azure Emperor. He had never expected to provoke such a terrifying being!

That being had delivered a supreme strike across endless spacetime. Shen Ming even suspected that, if the era that being inhabited had not been so far removed from his own, the strike would not have been so weak by the time it reached the present!

Although its might only approached the Quasi-Emperor level, there was no doubt that it was a weakened technique unleashed after Ultimate Sublimation. Its true power was far greater than it appeared. Otherwise, his nether iron armor would not have instantly lost its vitality and been forcibly pierced.

He was in terrible shape now, gravely wounded!

Was he going to fail just like this? He could not accept it!

Suddenly.

"Is that... a Forbidden Zone Supreme about to act?" Below, the human and Demon Race experts stared toward the horizon, their hair standing on end in utter horror.

A terrifying aura emanated from the Forbidden Zone. Divine light cleared a path, myriad laws blazed as brilliantly as stars, and laws surged through the void. Countless powers of law resonated between heaven and earth, as though an unsurpassed being was about to emerge from the Forbidden Zone.

"That's the Life Forbidden Zone-the Immortal Mausoleum! A Life Forbidden Zone that has existed since ages immemorial, containing countless mysterious Chaotic Ancient Era Stone Steles!"

That direction was precisely where the Immortal Mausoleum, one of the Seven Life Forbidden Zones, lay!

"Is one of the Supremes lurking within the Immortal Mausoleum making a move this time? The Azure Emperor's origins are far too mysterious. Someone actually crossed the endless river of spacetime to ward off this lifetime's deadly tribulation for him! Could this concern becoming an Immortal? Otherwise, why would a Supreme within a Forbidden Zone act?"

Saints murmured among themselves. They had lived through long ages and knew many secrets ordinary people could never uncover. Only they knew that unsurpassed Supremes existed within the Life Forbidden Zones! Their origins were terrifying. Ancient Sages had once surmised that the Supremes within the Forbidden Zones might be Ancient Great Emperors of bygone days, emperors from primordial antiquity, or even the legendary supreme Heavenly Venerables of the Mythological Era!

A boundless hand swept toward him. The Supreme within the Immortal Mausoleum had not dispatched his true body, merely extended a massive hand toward the Azure Emperor.

He did not fear that expert across spacetime, nor did he believe that being could reach the present world. Even if that being arrived in reality, he would remain unafraid!

He possessed the imposing air of one who had reigned supreme beneath heaven. He, too, had once stood at the pinnacle of an era and reached its very end. He held his own invincible conviction, having punched through an entire era with his own two hands.
