Make the Immortal Court Great Again! Three Punches Defeated Two Emperors! One Man Was a Forbidden Zone!

Heaven and earth seemed to stop turning at that moment!

Lu Qingyun stood in the void, his gaze indifferent.

Like a god seated upon a divine throne, he looked down upon all living beings, regarding the myriad creatures of the world as the lowliest ants!

The myriad Daos lay beneath his feet.

He had not forcibly suppressed them with power. Rather, his standing seemed to have reached a level that made the entire universe bow before him!

When this mysterious Chaos Heavenly Emperor appeared before the world once again.

He actually... stood against the entire universe!

No one could understand.

They did not understand why this Chaos Heavenly Emperor would intervene.

Ye Mingyuan and the Black Emperor had clearly never set foot in the Immortal Court, nor had they even cast a stray glance toward it.

They plainly had no intention of fighting this Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

Their targets had always been the original eight forbidden zones.

This Ninth Forbidden Zone, embodied by Lu Qingyun, was extremely special and had never been among their targets.

What was more, they were currently attacking Chaotic God Mountain!

Before Lu Qingyun attained the Dao, a Supreme from Chaotic God Mountain had even emerged, seeking to seize the fruit of his Dao.

By all reason and sentiment, he should not have helped them at a time like this.

It was not just the world that failed to understand.

Even the Supremes of the various forbidden zones found the scene rather baffling.

Since when had this Chaos Heavenly Emperor been on their side?

Why had no one told them?!

In truth...

Lu Qingyun himself was somewhat reluctant.

He had been perfectly happy watching the show at home, but who could have known that the system would suddenly stir up trouble now?

[Mission issued: This era has reached the pinnacle of brilliance! Two Heavenly Emperors have joined forces to sweep through the forbidden zones and exterminate every Supreme! Two forbidden zones have already suffered attacks. Unless they are stopped in time, disaster may one day befall you!

As the lord of a forbidden zone, you must punish such conduct severely! Make the Immortal Court... great again!

Mission reward: One drop of Immortal King-level True Phoenix blood essence!]

Originally, Lu Qingyun had not wanted to bother with the system.

But unfortunately...

Just like before, it offered far too much!

One drop of Immortal King-level True Phoenix blood essence was enough to make Lu Qingyun trample every law in the world!

As the lord of the Immortal Court Forbidden Zone, how could he, Lu Qingyun, tolerate someone setting their sights on the Immortal Court in the future?!

Hmm?

No one had set their sights on the Immortal Court at all?

No!

If he said someone had, then someone had!

"Have you made your decision?"

"Or do you want to test my abilities?"

Chaos Qi suffused Lu Qingyun's unfathomably deep eyes. An ordinary cultivator's soul might be dragged out of their body with just one look.

His tone was utterly calm, as though, to him.

Two invincible Heavenly Emperors were no different from roadside Supremes, neither worthy of his regard.

This was not arrogance, but a feeling that came from the bottom of his heart.

Ye Mingyuan felt little about this.

After all, he had suffered so many blows that he had long since grown accustomed to them.

But it instantly chilled the Black Emperor's gaze, though he had originally been considering retreating to avoid the brunt of his might!

Since attaining the Dao, he had never fought this Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

He had always treated him with respect while keeping his distance.

But that did not mean he feared him!

So what if a Chaos Body had become an emperor?

His true form was a Divine Medicine of Immortality. In terms of origins alone, it was not as though he could not compare!

He could suppress even a Sacred Body who had attained the Dao against heaven. Why would he fear this Chaos Heavenly Emperor, who had stayed holed up in a forbidden zone ever since attaining the Dao?!

Since he held them in such contempt, he wanted to see just what this Chaos Heavenly Emperor was capable of.

At worst, they would fight it out!

The Black Emperor took a step forward, battle intent surging in his eyes, declaring his stance through action!

After a moment of silence, Ye Mingyuan likewise chose not to leave.

He did not believe his efforts to purge the forbidden zones were wrong.

Besides...

The one who had been beaten before was Ye Mingyuan, the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body.

What did that have to do with him, Ye Mingyuan, who had already attained the Dao?!

He was now extraordinary!

Not to mention that the Black Emperor, another being even stronger than him, was fighting by his side. What if... they really could win?

Who did not have a little dream...?

Neither of them retreated a single step as they confronted Lu Qingyun.

Faced with this scene, Lu Qingyun did not grow angry. Instead, a trace of delight appeared on his face.

He had been worried that he might scare these two fellows away.

It would have been hard to say whether that counted as completing the mission.

Fortunately...

The people of this world, especially those who had attained the Dao... were quite stubborn.

"Heh..."

"In that case, let us fight at the universe's frontier."

Lu Qingyun transformed into Chaos Qi.

In moments, he crossed the entire universe and arrived at its long-devastated frontier.

Ye Mingyuan and the Black Emperor arrived belatedly after him.

This battle was destined to be engraved in ancient history as its most brilliant chapter!

All living beings in the world watched this battle.

Some clans' hidden reserves broke out of their Divine Source, holding Emperor Weapons with solemn expressions.

They feared that these three Heavenly Emperors would lose themselves in battle and fight their way into the universe, bringing a disaster more terrifying than a Dark Turmoil!

Along the Ancient Starry Sky Road, those who had failed on the imperial path gazed in that direction, their eyes filled with amazement, yet their expressions utterly forlorn.

Even deep within the various forbidden zones.

Ancient beings who had slumbered for untold tens of thousands of years were awakened, watching this unprecedented battle with icy gazes.

Dead stars drifted in disorder.

Three beings recognized by the world as its strongest stood at the frontier, their might concentrated, all at their peak!

"Brother Lu, purging the forbidden zones is for the sake of all living beings."

"Forgive me, but I cannot back down!"

Thinking of their many years of acquaintance, Ye Mingyuan wanted to start with some verbal sparring to ease into things.

But the Black Emperor beside him could not wait another moment.

He summoned his black lotus Emperor Weapon and swept it straight at Lu Qingyun!

"Why waste words with him?!"

"A forbidden-zone Supreme for a day, a forbidden-zone Supreme for life!"

"Considering that he has never unleashed a Dark Turmoil or slaughtered the masses, sparing him from total extermination is already the greatest mercy I can offer!"

The Black Emperor roared, his power erupting to its peak.

His might had already far surpassed the realm of a Peak Great Emperor, reaching an inconceivable level!

Seeing this, his ally Ye Mingyuan could not suppress the astonishment in his eyes.

He could tell that the Black Emperor had grown even stronger.

After thousands of years of pursuit, even though he was still in a period of explosive growth after recently attaining the Dao and becoming a Great Emperor, he had still failed to catch up!

"Monster."

He muttered.

But what horrified him even more was that, facing the Black Emperor's all-out strike.

Lu Qingyun did not move in the slightest, merely driving a fist suffused with chaos power straight at the Black Emperor!

Crack!

A crisp shattering sound rang out!

In the Black Emperor's hands, the Emperor Weapon he had refined from his own true form actually... shattered!

Just one punch, one simple punch.

It had shattered the Emperor Weapon of a Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouse outright!

Its power was utterly overwhelming, so strong it defied belief!

Watching this, towering waves of shock surged through Ye Mingyuan's heart!

Before he even had time to act, the Black Emperor, who had attacked first, took another punch. Half of his body, tougher even than Ye Mingyuan's Sacred Body, exploded outright!

He could only retreat instinctively, then... pull Ye Mingyuan in front of him as a shield!

Ye Mingyuan: "????"

Come on, man?

Weren't you just saying a Supreme for a day, a Supreme for life?

You kept insisting that not exterminating him was the greatest mercy, but now... aren't you being a little too merciful?!

You're putting me in a very awkward position!

Two punches, just two simple punches, and you've already crumbled?

You're not even as good as me!

Back then, I took three solid punches from him before falling!

Before all the world's living beings, Ye Mingyuan could not bring himself to surrender outright.

He exchanged a glance with Lu Qingyun.

He believed their years of experience together had already fostered a trace of tacit understanding.

So, after conveying his message, he stepped forward with great confidence, ready to enjoy several hundred rounds of exhilarating battle before suffering a regrettable defeat.

Unfortunately...

The instant he stepped forward, he heard Lu Qingyun utter eight extremely familiar words.

"Forbidden imperial art... Chaos Emperor Fist!"

In short, a Serious Punch!

In an instant, the sea of stars poured backward, and the Great Dao wailed!

Only that Chaos Emperor Fist remained reflected in Ye Mingyuan's pupils.

He instinctively tried to block it.

But his body, strong enough to clash head-on with Emperor Weapons, cracked apart inch by inch!

His rarely used Emperor Weapon, a great cauldron, shattered into fragments the instant it appeared to protect its master, scattering across the universe.

At the final moment, the Black Emperor used his remaining strength.

Carrying Ye Mingyuan, who no longer looked remotely human, he fled in utter disarray!

From beginning to end, just three punches!

Two emperors defeated!

Fast...

Far too fast.

Everyone had been looking forward to this battle, in which the advantage lay with Ye Mingyuan and the Black Emperor.

How powerful were two Heavenly Emperors fighting together?!

Even searching all of ancient history, one would likely find no one capable of matching them!

But the facts proved...

What did not exist in ancient history existed in the present!

This had indeed been an unequal battle.

It was merely that the positions of the strong and the weak had been reversed from what the world expected.

No one had imagined that the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, who dwelled deep within the Immortal Court Forbidden Zone and had not emerged for tens of thousands of years, had already reached an unprecedented realm!

His battle prowess far exceeded any living being's imagination!

Why would three Heavenly Emperors need to join forces to sweep through the forbidden zones?

Clearly, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor alone could rival an entire forbidden zone!

"Heh..."

One living being gave a laugh of realization and spoke.

"He established the Ninth Forbidden Zone with his own person as the Chaos Heavenly Emperor!"

"He himself is one man, one forbidden zone."

"Then his strength alone equaling an entire forbidden zone... isn't that only natural?"

The world fell silent.
