If the Dim Radiant Emperor's relic was an Immortal Artifact that had already been successfully forged and Yan Zhaoge was able to wield that Immortal Artifact, while the chances were still slim, there might still be a chance.
At the very least, he was no longer in complete despair.
But in fact, most people were still not optimistic.
After experiencing the initial excitement when the news first came out, people gradually calmed down after so many years.
The information which had originated from the Radiant Light Sect at the very beginning was likely inaccurate.
Perhaps Yan Zhaoge had indeed obtained a relic of the Dim Radiant Emperor, but it might not be an Immortal Artifact.
At the very least, the possibility of it being a real Immortal Artifact that had been completely refined was not high.
On one hand, it was because the Dim Radiant Emperor himself had never forged an Immortal Artifact when he was alive.
On one hand, it was also because Yan Zhaoge and Broad Creed Mountain had never seen a single trace of that Immortal Artifact despite having traversed the world for so many years.
If one were to say that while Broad Creed Mountain's martial practitioners were powerful in the past, their cultivation bases had still been low, at this point in the battle today, if Yan Zhaoge truly possessed an Immortal Artifact and wielded it, he would have already ended the battle before the Heaven Emperor even had to descend.
Thinking of this, the hearts of those on Broad Creed Mountain all sunk as they vaguely felt despair.
Having become the focus of everyone's attention, Yan Zhaoge's expression was as per usual.
He released his suppression of the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen, raising his hand upwards.
The Myriad Dragon Palace appeared, its great doors opening as numerous dark streams of qi emerged from within.
In the boundless void of the great hall, a huge black iron wheel quietly rotated.
As the black iron wheel flew out of the Myriad Dragon Palace, it immediately became the focus of everyone's gazes.
The Dim Radiant Wheel!
This supreme treasure of the Dim Radiant Emperor Yin Tianxia had finally reappeared in the World beyond Worlds.
As the Dim Radiant Wheel slowly rose into the air, the world before them which had already been dark and gloomy due to the earth having replaced the sky became completely pitch black, its radiance extinguished.
But in that boundless primordial darkness, a speck of light suddenly lit up, bright and pure.
The Dim Radiant Wheel currently existed between light and darkness.
The slowly spinning black iron wheel seemed to have been split into two by an invisible line.
Half of it shone with resplendent light, glistening and dazzling, while the other half blended into the darkness and was hard to see.
However, when everyone focused their gazes, the entire Dim Radiant Wheel seemed to be covered in a layer of dim radiance. It was neither bright nor dazzling as it was all hazy.
There was a clear distinction between light and darkness.
Everything was blurry and hazy.
Two seemingly contradictory scenes were simultaneously manifested on the Dim Radiant Wheel, causing one to be unable to help but suspect if one of them was an illusion.
But at this moment, they were perfectly united and coexisting, revealing the profound principles and concepts.
At this moment, nine of the twelve holes on the black iron wheel flickered with an indescribable radiance.
The rotating Dim Radiant Wheel suddenly halted before radiance shot out from one of its holes, landing on Broad Creed Mountain down below.
The opposing force prevented Broad Creed Mountain from sinking into the sea.
At the same time, Yan Zhaoge struck downwards with a Cyclic Heavenly Seal.
Under the combined effects of the two forces, with the momentum of uprooting mountains, the numerous mountains of Broad Creed Mountain no longer descended, instead slowly rising upwards.
Gazing at the Dim Radiant Wheel, countless people murmured to themselves, "That is the treasure left behind by the Dim Radiant Emperor …"
Even as their minds shook, looking at how only nine of the twelve slots on the Dim Radiant Wheel were glowing, many people sighed inwardly, "At the end of the day, it has yet to be truly forged!"
Immortal weapons, as the name suggested, were weapons forged by experts who had pushed open the Immortal Gate.
If the Dim Radiant Emperor had yet to completely forge it, Yan Zhaoge of the Martial Saint realm would naturally be unable to use it successfully.
Still, the difference between Immortals and mortals was a heavenly chasm that was hard to surmount.
If it was not an Immortal Artifact, how could it resist an Emperor who had already pushed open the door to Immortality many years ago?
"Dim Radiant Twelve Arts, second art, Reflection."
A voice resounded amidst space, clear and pleasant to the ear as it resembled the striking of a bell and the sonorous voice of the great dao.
"It has been many years since I have seen such orthodox Dim Radiant Twelve Arts," The massive tree that towered to the heavens above vanished as a Daoist appeared in mid-air.
He wore an apricot yellow Daoist robe, a golden crown on his head and a crane cloak on his body. His face was like jade with three long strands of beard. While he was not as handsome as the Brocade Emperor Fu Yunchi, he was still ethereal and otherworldly.
This was none other than one of the World beyond Worlds' Five Emperors, the Heaven Emperor!
While this was his first time seeing him in person, Yan Zhaoge had already long since memorised the image of this World beyond Worlds' bigwig expert.
Everyone else recognised this True Immortal as well.
As the Heaven Emperor truly appeared, the terrifying pressure that enveloped the entire area instead strangely vanished.
Whether it was Yan Zhaoge, Cao Jie and the others in mid-air or those on Broad Creed Mountain down below, their bodies all relaxed.
Still, they all felt even more nervous.
Seeing the Heaven Emperor's true appearance, Lang Qing, Zhuang Shen, Daoist Oneheaven and Lian Zulin all ceased their attacks.
They simultaneously bowed towards the Heaven Emperor, "Your Majesty, Heaven Emperor."
The Heaven Emperor nodded, "This humble Daoist has been itching for a moment. Everyone, please let this humble Daoist pass."
Lang Qing said, "Of course."
Zhuang Shen sat in the meditative position amidst space, quietly regulating his breathing as he treated the injuries that Yan Zhaoge and the Extreme Yang Seal had inflicted on him.
Still, his gaze was still fixated on Yan Zhaoge and the Dim Radiant Wheel. Amidst his hatred, there was also some complex emotions within his gaze.
While the Dim Radiant Wheel was indeed not a true Immortal Artifact, its might was still shocking.
Yan Zhaoge's own strength was far from comparable to that of ordinary Immortal Bridge Martial Saints.
With the Extreme Yang Seal and the Dim Radiant Wheel in his possession as well, however unwilling Zhuang Shen was, he had to admit that he probably would not be able to exact vengeance on his own.
More importantly, with the potential and strength that Yan Zhaoge had displayed, it would be increasingly impossible for Zhuang Shen to personally exact vengeance in the future!
It was just that since the Dim Radiant Wheel had yet to become an Immortal Artifact, the outcome of today's battle could not possibly be changed.
"It is destined that the Brocade Emperor will not be able to arrive in time," Zhuang Shen looked coldly at Yan Zhaoge and the others.
The Heaven Emperor strode through space, arriving neither hurriedly nor slowly before Yan Zhaoge and the others.
The Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie faced him indifferently as he stood where he was.
The Northeastern Exalt Liu Zhenggu calmly bowed towards the Heaven Emperor, "This old man, Liu Zhenggu, greets the Heaven Emperor."
"You are polite, Fellow Daoist Liu." The Heaven Emperor nodded slightly before saying, "Fellow Daoist, you can leave now or watch from the sidelines. This humble Daoist does not mind either."
Liu Zhenggu's expression did not change as he said, "This Liu's assistance this time will not change because of who the opponent is. I only ask my conscience, not the outcome. I have overestimated my own abilities, and have made a fool of myself, Heaven Emperor."
"It is fine," The Heaven Emperor shook his head, "Since that is so, I will speak with Fellow Daoist Liu again later."
With that, he raised a hand, the wide sleeve of his Daoist robe unfurling.
Space circulated as the universe shifted. Liu Zhenggu suddenly shrunk as he was directly kept within the sleeve of the Heaven Emperor!
A Human Exalt had soundlessly vanished without a trace, as though he had never come to Broad Creed Mountain in the first place.
