Crushing Victory, an Old Man Toying with a Naughty Child! An Array Formed in the Void with a Thought!
A new Great Accomplishment Sacred Body!
Another invincible being born in this age within the vast universe!
At that moment, the entire universe was shaken to its core!
Four!
Four invincible beings sharing the same age!
This was an unprecedented, unparalleled era of utmost splendor!
On Fallen Immortal Star.
Ye Mingyuan also emerged from seclusion and gazed toward them from the starry sky.
His eyes brimmed with fierce, utterly exhilarated battle intent!
Even he had never imagined that this universe could give birth to another Great Accomplishment Sacred Body!
Did this mean...
The victor between them would be qualified to... attempt a feat no Sacred Body had ever accomplished.
Breaking into the imperial Dao with a Sacred Body!
At the thought of this possibility, Ye Mingyuan could barely restrain his battle intent.
But now did not seem to be the time for a battle between Great Accomplishment Sacred Bodies.
That newly emerged Great Accomplishment Sacred Body was confronting Black Emperor!
This left him, the third party, with no choice but to stand aside and watch this world-shaking battle as a spectator!
And after Black Emperor saw Ye Mingyuan appear.
His suspicion that the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body before him was Ye Mingyuan in disguise was extinguished.
So when this man had spoken of a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body earlier.
He had not meant Ye Mingyuan, but himself!
In other words...
"You think... you can stand shoulder to shoulder with me?"
Black Emperor stood amid the stars, his black hair whipping wildly, his hands clasped behind his back and his gaze imperious.
The entire universe seemed to revolve around him.
"Why not give it a try and find out?"
Lu Qingyun summoned a golden avenue that led straight to the universe's frontier, the oppressive might of his Sacred Body spreading.
His eyes flashed.
How could proper Dao contemplation improve him as quickly as a real, all-out fight?
Besides, he also wanted to test...
Whether his current attainment on the Dao of the Sacred Body could rival a reigning Great Emperor who had ascended from a Divine Medicine of Immortality!
"So confident?"
"Then let me see what gives you the right to stand shoulder to shoulder with a reigning Great Emperor like me!"
Divine light flashed in Black Emperor's eyes. With a trace of anger in his voice, he traveled to the universe's frontier alongside Lu Qingyun.
The battle began.
Golden blood Qi surged to the heavens, immeasurably dense.
Lu Qingyun's body shone with dazzling divine light as he charged at Black Emperor like an ancient beast of the wilderness!
"Heavenly Emperor Fist!!"
He roared.
His golden blood Qi boiled, and extraordinary manifestations arose one after another.
Even the Great Dao thundered, as though unable to withstand its might and on the verge of shattering.
This made Black Emperor believe it was Lu Qingyun's forbidden art, and he dared not take it lightly.
A black lotus dais appeared beneath him.
Vast amounts of power surged from it, forming a pitch-black barrier.
Boom-!!
A fist slammed down!
A crack appeared in the barrier!
But it did not shatter, allowing Black Emperor to breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the power of this forbidden art was not quite so impossible to counter.
After all... he was not a true Great Emperor!
But just as he prepared to retaliate.
Another thunderous shout rang out!
"Heavenly Emperor Heavy Fist!"
This time, two successive attacks struck his pitch-black barrier.
Crack-!
It shattered outright!
This sight was completely beyond his expectations!
Although those two attacks were powerful, they were not impossible to withstand!
Yet it had been broken so easily. The cause seemed not to be the powerful external force, but... a problem within!
But before he could think it through.
A heavy punch landed directly on his body!
The body of a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body rivaled an extreme Dao imperial armament-it was the mightiest of weapons!
That punch blasted a bloody hole straight through his body.
Great Emperor blood spilled, and Black Emperor's presence began to grow unstable.
"What's going on!?"
"I was the first to get injured!?"
Black Emperor could scarcely believe it. He lowered his head and looked at the wound on his chest, which was rapidly healing.
No!
Something was definitely wrong!
There was something wrong with this fellow before him!
"Heh- is that all you've got?"
Lu Qingyun shook his head, a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
The gap was too wide.
Originally, he had only intended to use his Sacred Body's power to exchange blows with this man.
But with the aid of his heaven-defying comprehension, his understanding of the Great Dao Black Emperor cultivated had reached an extremely profound level.
It had even surpassed that of Black Emperor, who had only recently attained the Dao.
As a result, during their battle, Lu Qingyun saw through these moves almost instinctively.
And so...
The fight became rather dull.
It was no different from... an old man toying with a naughty child!
The gap was far beyond ordinary!
Still...
Since he was already here, he ought to take something.
Lu Qingyun turned his gaze toward the lotus dais beneath Black Emperor. It seemed to have been refined from part of the Divine Medicine of Immortality's original body.
Taking it back to study should be quite worthwhile.
"Treasures belong to those fated to have them."
Having lost all interest in competing, Lu Qingyun wanted only to return to his old trade of snatching things.
Now, he no longer held back.
He waved his hand, and with the aid of Extreme Dao Array Pattern Mastery, an imperial array abruptly formed.
It trapped Black Emperor within, constantly suppressing him with its killing power!
"An array formed in the void with a thought!?"
"Such attainments in the Dao of arrays!?"
Seeing this display from Lu Qingyun, Black Emperor was overwhelmed with shock.
He tried to fight his way out of the array.
But in an instant, a fist blazing with golden light knocked him back.
A voice also rang out beside his ear...
"Hand it over!"
The lotus dais beneath him was snatched away, its traces continuously erased with divine power!
And by the time Black Emperor broke out of the array.
Everything had returned to calm. Lu Qingyun was nowhere to be seen, having left long before.
Immense humiliation and unwillingness engulfed him!
He, a dignified reigning Great Emperor, had actually been toyed with by a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body and even robbed of part of his original body.
An utter disgrace!
"Aaaaaah-!!"
Black Emperor raged impotently, roaring countless great stars at the universe's frontier to pieces as he vented the pent-up frustration in his heart.
Meanwhile.
Ye Mingyuan did not go out of his way to pursue that Great Accomplishment Sacred Body.
Instead, after his gaze flickered a few times, he returned straight to the Feng Clan.
Something about that Great Accomplishment Sacred Body's way of doing things felt inexplicably familiar.
A name surfaced in his mind.
Then quickly faded again.
"If it's him... then it's not surprising."
"But could transforming a Chaos Body into a Sacred Body really produce such an outrageous display of power? Just what realm... has he reached?"
Year 5,700 of the Immortal Court calendar.
On the day of the Immortal Lotus Banquet, Black Emperor fought a mysterious Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, suffered defeat at the universe's frontier, and returned spilling blood.
From then on, the Black Realm sealed itself off, and the Great Emperor entered seclusion.
The living beings throughout the universe formed many conjectures about that newly appeared Great Accomplishment Sacred Body.
Many looked forward to it.
To Ye Mingyuan fighting that Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, to see which Sacred Body was strongest.
Unfortunately, from that day onward, that Great Accomplishment Sacred Body vanished without a trace, as though he had never appeared.
The entire universe.
Returned to calm once more from its previously tense, swords-drawn atmosphere.
