Immortals and Buddhas Were Useless-Despair! A Great Emperor's Son Awakened to Quell the Turmoil?

The answer was yes!

Ye Mingyuan had inspected the forbidden zones several times back then, yet he had only acted three times.

He had slain certain Supremes who could not hold on much longer.

Those he left behind were all beings who would not casually emerge to launch a Dark Turmoil in the near future.

Among them, his remaining time had been the shortest.

But since the Heavenly Emperor's fall and the withering of that dazzling era,

twenty thousand years had already passed.

"Twenty thousand years, and he... has been there all along."

This Supreme glanced toward the Immortal Court, a trace of fear flashing through his eyes.

If what they felt toward the two Heavenly Emperors who had slaughtered the forbidden zones into silence was wariness and hatred,

then toward this Chaos Heavenly Emperor, who likewise dwelled within a forbidden zone,

all that remained was fear.

When the two Heavenly Emperors were at their peaks, just three casual punches from him had nearly buried an entire golden age.

Such a terrifying display of power.

He was nothing like those two Heavenly Emperors.

Even less so when compared with a Supreme like him, who had fallen into a forbidden zone.

Thus, for Supremes of the forbidden zones like them,

even if they knew that the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had exhausted his lifespan within the Immortal Court Forbidden Zone and died for good,

they would not dare set so much as a foot inside the Immortal Court!

Fortunately...

He would not be facing that being on this trip.

He would merely...

Kill some people, devour some flesh and blood, and destroy some star domains.

At that thought, his eyes blazed.

Without further hesitation, he revealed an exceptionally cruel smile.

He strode forth!

To reign over the world!

After several years, he alone unleashed another Dark Turmoil!

In this era, there was no Sacred Body, no Heavenly Emperor.

Every living being in the vast universe was food on his plate!

Never had he enjoyed such a wonderful opening!

The presence of a Supreme swept across the entire universe.

This presence, as though it would sacrifice and annihilate everything, was so ancient that the people of the world did not immediately know what had happened.

They only felt instinctive terror and panicked helplessly.

Only among the Extreme Dao factions,

the various Emperor Weapons and hidden reserves abruptly awakened, carrying their entire factions and legacies onto the Ancient Starry Sky Road with immense power.

They sought to hide deep within the universe and escape this slaughter by a Supreme!

The massacre began.

One life-bearing source star after another was devoured completely.

Endless Blood Qi poured into this Supreme's body, gradually filling out his shriveled frame and restoring some color to it.

But this was still far from enough!

"I cannot let this opportunity slip away."

"Such an opportunity is so rare. To guard against another monstrous prodigy emerging in the future, I had best make more preparations this time."

The Supreme's gaze was icy, his thinking thoroughly pragmatic.

Back then, he had escaped Ye Mingyuan's final purge precisely because his vital essence had still been relatively abundant.

To those Great Emperors who had attained the Dao,

the less vital essence a Supreme possessed, the more likely they were to choose him as the lucky one.

It was not merely because he was easier to bully.

The greater reason was that these Supremes whose vital essence was running dry were the most likely to unleash a Dark Turmoil!

Thus, they were also the most likely targets for a purge!

At that thought, he accelerated again.

Even if... he devoured most of the living beings in the entire universe,

as long as it guaranteed him tens of thousands of years of peace, it would be worth it!!

Darkness swept across the vast universe.

All living beings wailed, finally learning that such a great terror as the Dark Turmoil still existed in this world!

But in this age when pursuing the Dao was so difficult,

even Sages were hard to find, let alone a Great Emperor capable of matching a Supreme.

Countless people knelt before statues of the Heavenly Emperor, praying sincerely.

Even more prayed to elusive immortals and Buddhas.

Yet none of it had any effect!

They could only let him slaughter them!

One life-bearing source star after another was wiped out, vast swaths of star domains falling silent, as though the entire universe were sinking into eternal deathly stillness!

The many Extreme Dao factions on the Ancient Starry Sky Road witnessed this scene.

But most merely revealed expressions of distress.

Then they resolutely ignored it and continued rushing deeper into the universe.

If they failed to escape in time,

then, should that Supreme not have devoured enough living beings, he might disregard the deterrence of the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons and attack them!

When that happened, it would be an unimaginable catastrophe!

Legacies spanning ten thousand generations would all be extinguished!

Yet on one stretch of the Ancient Starry Sky Road, an Extreme Dao faction suddenly stopped.

Their expressions were agitated as they all kowtowed before a coffin.

They seemed to be trying to dissuade its occupant from emerging.

But in the end, the coffin was still pushed open from within, and immortal light blossomed.

A man whose attire was exceedingly ancient, yet whose appearance was exceedingly young, slowly stepped out of the coffin.

The blood and Qi suppressed by Immortal Source for long ages slowly began to circulate, his divine power continually awakening as his presence gradually grew stronger!

His gaze was like lightning, every strand of his hair crystalline.

His presence revealed him to be a powerful being at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm!

This was an emperor's son!

A Great Emperor had personally sealed him away, allowing him to avoid one era in the hope of attaining the Dao!

Yet today, faced with the Dark Turmoil and the devastation of all living beings,

he chose to emerge ahead of time.

"My father fought the forbidden zones all his life and never disgraced the name of Great Emperor."

"As his own son, faced with the onslaught of this Dark Turmoil, I ought to emerge, inherit my father's undertaking, and quell the turmoil for all living beings beneath heaven!"

The emperor's son had a resolute gaze, revealing an exceptionally powerful confidence.

Looking at these descendants of his bloodline, he chuckled. "There is no need to worry. On the day I sealed myself away, my father told me plainly that with my abilities, I could only quell a turmoil caused by a single Supreme."

"So there is no need for concern."

"I... can surely quell all of this!"

His expression was calm, as though everything were within his grasp.

Because his strength

had won the acknowledgment of his father, a reigning Great Emperor!

Thus, at worst, he would simply return and seal himself away again after quelling the turmoil.

After all, his father had left an extra quantity of Immortal Source Liquid back then.

It was precisely to guard against an unforeseen event like today's, giving him one opportunity to emerge.

After hearing those words,

all those descendants of his bloodline revealed reverence in their eyes.

They gazed at the Great Emperor's son before them, who, to them, was every bit as towering and invincible as that Supreme.

They believed that with him taking action, the Dark Turmoil of this era would surely be quelled!

Afterward, with the merit of quelling the turmoil,

their faction would undoubtedly receive the gratitude of every living being in the universe in this era!

And so...

Under their expectant gazes,

the emperor's son, brimming with confidence and wielding the Emperor Weapon his father had left behind, seemed for a fleeting moment to truly touch that genuine Extreme Dao realm.

He was about to step into it!

He was incomparably powerful. The Emperor Weapon in his hand fully awakened, divine light illuminating the world as Extreme Dao pressure spread!

With one step, he crossed several star domains.

He headed toward the Supreme who was absorbing the Blood Qi of living beings!

He gave a great shout:

"Sealed away for tens of thousands of years."

"Today's turmoil shall be quelled by me!"

His presence was exceptionally powerful, his momentum imposing.

With his bloodline as a Great Emperor's own son, he activated that Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, resembling a true Great Emperor returned to life to reign over the world once more!

This made the Supreme's expression change drastically!

He initially wanted to flee.

But when he looked closely and discovered that it was merely a peak Quasi-Emperor wielding an Emperor Weapon,

his expression immediately turned exceedingly strange.

A peak Quasi-Emperor wanted to quell the turmoil?

What had given him the courage?

But soon, he knew...

When that Emperor Weapon descended, the Supreme merely raised his hand and caught it firmly!

Then he seized the emperor's son!

In an instant, he devoured and refined him!

Because this peak Quasi-Emperor possessed an extremely concentrated Great Emperor bloodline,

devouring him alone was comparable to devouring several peak Quasi-Emperors!

This resulted in...

"Burp-!"

He let out a satisfied belch.

The cold expression forged over long ages completely crumbled at this moment.

"It seems... he wasn't wrong."

"This Dark Turmoil really has been quelled..."
