The pitch-black dragon cave was at the edge of a precipice. Ancient medicine kings that had lived for more than a hundred thousand years grew at the entrance of the cave. There was more than a single stalk, releasing an astonishing fragrance. Moreover, there were a few withered plants. It was clear that they had been here for too long, turning into a medicinal paste that rotted on the ground. Meanwhile, the seeds became ancient medicine kings.
A silver dragon stretched across, as if it was a continuous stretch of snowy mountain range. It was boundlessly grand, its majestic head raised high. The enormous pair of horns flowed with sparkling light, its scales translucent and dazzling, its cries shaking the nine heavens.
"Is this real?!" Everyone trembled, not daring to believe this reality. A True Dragon appeared in this world, this was like something out of a fantasy story.
The aura of an ancient great emperor pervaded the air, intimidating the endless heavens. Large amounts of ancient saints knelt down, involuntarily paying their respects. This was a type of soul throbbing, kowtowing forward.
Everyone's legs went soft, unable to stand still at all. Moreover, the cultivators that approached the precipice all had their bodies split apart, their bones broken, turning into a bloody paste.
This was the pressure of an ancient great emperor, something not even saints could endure. It was like ants looking up at a giant dragon, a Suan Ni forcefully challenging the heavens. The difference was too great.
Ye Fan's entire body released green and sparkling light. The damaged Ancient Heaven's divine artifact revived, resisting on its own. He pulled Pang Bo up, and then retreated, instantly arriving several hundred li away.
Most people couldn't avoid this. No matter how powerful they were, as long as they approached this pitch-black dragon cave, they wouldn't be able to endure this type of pressure, their bones breaking and tendons snapping.
"Ancient Demon Emperor, supreme being of a generation, we have no intention of offending you. We will respectfully kowtow here."
The Great Sage were no exception, kneeling on the ground. Not a single one of them could resist even a strand of aura seeping out from this silver dragon. It left everyone horrified, this was the difference between heaven and earth.
The silver True Dragon raised its head, rushing into the nine heavens. It circled about, and then it descended. It was like an unmatched deity, its entire body releasing silver splendor, suppressing past, present, and future.
It possessed ocean-like vitality, blood energy covering heaven and earth, making all life tremble. Now, no one doubted anything. This was definitely an emperor level existence! Even the stone man that was half a step into the Quasi-emperor realm knelt down, trembling there. This was enough to explain everything.
With a honglong sound, that cliff split apart. Half of the mountain collapsed, falling into the endless abyss below.
Draconic energy surged. Beside the pitch-black dragon cave, several dozen Medicine King stalks swayed about. Specks of radiance flickered about, and a fragrance that made one feel as if they were going to ascend into the heavens filled the air.
The eyes of all the Saint Emperors stared blankly, but no one dared to act recklessly. Before an ancient emperor, even a Quasi-emperor would be incomparably weak.
However, the shocking changes still continued. Even the dragon cave was split open, and a few stalks of king medicines fell off along with the rocks, falling into the abyss and wasting away.
Everyone was stunned. Was the Demon Emperor angry? Even the dragon's lair had been destroyed. Was he going to slaughter everyone here? Not to mention them, even if all the cultivators of the myriad realms came, they would still die.
Everyone's scalps went numb. Several tens of thousands of years had passed. How could a Demon Emperor appear again? They all said that he fell on the path of immortality, but what exactly was the result?
This was clearly a True Dragon, a true Great Emperor. It reappeared in this world, leaving everyone's souls greatly shaken, as if they were dreaming. Even the Great Sage was stupefied.
Pfft!
A Saint King exploded into pieces. Fresh blood and bone fragments flew everywhere. It was a ghastly sight, all because he was too close to the dragon's lair. This made everyone tremble in fear, and all the hair on their bodies stood on end.
Ye Fan retreated quickly enough, but even though he was hundreds of miles away, he still felt a kind of pressure. If it wasn't for the green copper cauldron's radiance, if he forced himself not to kneel, his knees would most likely have shattered.
Pang Bo's entire body was trembling. He forcefully grasped the Demon Emperor Ruler, and the two pieces of the ruler emitted immortal splendor in his palms. A large expanse of radiance sprinkled down, finally allowing him to stand still and not kneel.
"Too powerful. Is this an ancient emperor? Just a wisp of his aura is already unbearable, and even the Great Sage has to kneel. How terrifying would he be if he truly attacked? I think he can destroy this cosmos. "Pang Bo was trembling.
The two of them came from the other side of the starry sky. Even though they had cultivated for many years, there were still some deep-rooted thoughts in their minds that were difficult to change.
However, the two of them seriously pondered over it, and then understood. What had they not seen before? After experiencing so much, they were only temporarily stunned.
"Greetings, Demon Emperor!" The Hundred Tribulations Daoist was so excited that his body was trembling. He kowtowed step by step, a form of heartfelt respect.
In the sky, the silver dragon's scales were sparkling and translucent, overflowing with brilliant colors. In its eyes, there were all kinds of terrifying scenes of the cosmos evolving.
It clearly had a powerful life fluctuation, but it turned a deaf ear to the Hundred Tribulations Daoist's words. It coiled in the sky, looking down at the vast cosmos in a daze.
"No, this isn't the Demon Emperor. It has long lost its soul. This is the emperor's corpse, the body of a great emperor with a partial imprint." Suddenly, the Green Phoenix Daoist shouted. Although he was old and clumsy, and was about to pass away, his turbid eyes shot out two beams of light as he saw through this silver dragon.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and their bodies were all shivering. This wasn't a great emperor, but a corpse that had developed spiritual awareness? There was nothing more terrifying than this.
Hundreds of miles away, Ye Fan and Pang Bo looked at each other. They also felt a chill in their bodies. As expected, there was no way to estimate an ancient great emperor. It was just a corpse, but it was already unbearable.
"Quick, kill the people of the Underworld and drive them away from this place. Don't let them get close!" a human Dao Protector shouted.
The master god of God's Organization had already taken action. He attacked the black-robed demon god with the fiercest attack. Before entering this place, the Great Sage had been on guard against the people of the Underworld, afraid that they would do something heaven-defying.
"Hehe …"
The black-robed Great Sage of the Underworld laughed eerily. With a clear whistle, over ten thousand ghost soldiers surrounded them, all of them brimming with corpse energy.
"Suppress them all!" the Green Phoenix Daoist shouted.
The stone man, Demon Bull, and the other evil gods were also shocked. They blocked the ghost soldiers together. It was said that ghost soldiers were fatal to corpses. Once they got close, they would be assimilated.
If an emperor's corpse were to enter the Underworld, it would be unimaginable!
In the blink of an eye, this place became Asura Hell. Even if there were over ten thousand ghost soldiers, it wouldn't be enough. Once the Great Sage attacked, everything would turn into smoke, and ashes would scatter across the universe.
However, there were many guests from the Underworld. The Yin Drum beat, and Asura Hell appeared. Large white bone ships and many Yin palaces appeared in the void, and more ghost soldiers descended.
One hundred thousand ghost soldiers!
All of them were powerful, and they were all chosen from the Yin Tomb Ancient Land of the various ancient star regions. When they were gathered together, this was a power that could make the universe tremble.
They weren't throwing their lives away, and they didn't attack the Great Sage. Instead, they sat cross-legged in the void and chanted. This was the Corpse Summoning Scripture of the Underworld, and they wanted to turn the emperor's corpse into one of them.
"No!"
Everyone cried out. If the Demon Emperor's body really fell into their hands, it would be unimaginable. The universe would change greatly.
"Retreat!" The Green Phoenix Daoist suddenly gave such an order at this critical moment.
Beside him, the Hundred Tribulations Daoist stood side by side, his expression dark and gloomy. It was obvious that he hated the Underworld's plan. This was the Demon Emperor that he respected the most, and he couldn't allow any blasphemy.
Seeing this, the Bull Demon King, the Stone Man, and the Evil God also retreated. They didn't fight with the Great Sage of the Underworld. Only the main gods of God's Organization were fighting there.
An ancient bronze coffin flew over from the depths of the universe. It was mottled with green rust, as if it had existed for millions of years. The coffin's lid suddenly opened, and the sound of chanting could be heard, and all kinds of radiance shot out.
It was approaching, wanting to summon the emperor's corpse.
"Are we really not going to stop it?" The Bull Demon King was anxious. If the Underworld really obtained this silver dragon, it would definitely be a catastrophe.
"Wait and see." This was all the Green Phoenix Daoist said. He had great prestige on the ancient road.
"Even if the Demon Emperor is dead, not just anyone can touch him, not even the people of the Underworld!" The Hundred Tribulations Daoist sneered.
"Boom!"
The main god of God's Organization flew away on his cauldron, leaving only the army of the Underworld and the chanting of scriptures. The ancient coffin and the black-robed god sat cross-legged in the void, summoning the emperor's corpse.
The hundred thousand celestial soldiers were emitting Yin Qi, and the souls of some of the Saints who were close to this place were directly dispersed, leaving behind an empty shell.
This was the formation of the Underworld, and it could trap and kill the Great Sage. It was strange and terrifying, and ordinary people couldn't get close. Otherwise, they would be killed and their souls captured by the malicious spirits.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, the body of the black-robed god split open, and black blood appeared all over. His whole body trembled, and then his body suddenly exploded.
Following that, the ancient coffin also shook violently, and the chanting stopped abruptly. It exploded in the void, and metal fragments shot in all directions.
Then, the hundred thousand nether soldiers were turned to ashes, as if a god had slapped them, turning them into dust in an instant. They were removed from the world, no longer existing.
The Great Sage of the Underworld was like a chicken or a dog, exploding himself in the process of summoning the corpse. How terrifying was this scene? He hadn't truly come into contact, and he only wanted to use the hundred thousand celestial soldiers as a medium. He was far enough away, but in the end, he still suffered a backlash, and his body and soul were destroyed.
Honglong!
The dragon cave emitted an ancient aura, mysterious and unfathomable. At this time, it completely split open, and strands of draconic energy rushed in all directions. Meanwhile, the medicine king growing at the cave entrance fell into the abyss below the precipice.
This place was about to be destroyed. The entire Demon Emperor's tomb was cracking, and under the rumbling sounds, the mountains and rivers collapsed. The majestic emperor's tomb floating in the universe was collapsing, no longer existing.
The Saints' hearts were all dripping blood. Beside the Demon Emperor's cave, there were dozens of medicine king plants, and all of them fell into the abyss. As for what kind of heaven-defying immortal items there were in the cave, it was unknown, but they could only watch helplessly.
A silver-colored true dragon lay there, blocking everything. Even the Underworld's Great Sage and the hundred thousand powerful nether soldiers were destroyed. How could they not be alarmed? No one dared to take half a step forward.
Boom!
Suddenly, the silver-colored true dragon in the sky also collapsed. Its scales disappeared, and its life force was boundless. It turned into a pool of emperor blood, revealing its origin.
"This … isn't a complete emperor corpse, but rather a pool of blood. However, it is different from the masses, and the Demon Emperor's inextinguishable will was left within, protecting this place!" The Hundred Tribulations Daoist cried out in alarm. He felt an emotional fluctuation, and he felt as if he was experiencing it himself.
The great tomb broke apart, and the abyss also split apart. The Demon Emperor's cave on the precipice split apart, and everything was revealed.
There was a jade case there that was less than a foot long. It was sparkling and translucent, its color not fading even after millions of years. Divine splendor flowed about.
Everyone was moved, and they couldn't hold it back anymore. The emperor corpse was no longer there, and it turned into a pool of blood again. The saints couldn't help but throw themselves over, wishing to seize this final treasure.
Without a doubt, this was what the Demon Emperor cared about the most. Otherwise, he wouldn't have accompanied it, never separating from life to death.
However, that pool of blood contained a will. It turned into sparkling light and moved forward, wrapping around the foot long jade case. It wasn't willing to separate, protecting that place. Everyone immediately stopped, not daring to move recklessly.
"Let's get the medicine king first!"
The saints moved, searching for the several dozen stalks of ancient medicine kings that fell down from the cracks of the abyss.
Kacha!
Suddenly, the jade case cracked apart, releasing a gentle light. Everyone's minds immediately trembled.
A withered flower was revealed, lacking the slightest bit of luster. It had long withered, but after the Demon Emperor's methods, it didn't turn into dust, preserved in its original state.
Everyone could see that this flower wasn't a divine medicine, nor was it a strange ancient grass. It didn't have the slightest bit of value, yet it was preserved by the Demon Emperor until now. This was his most beloved artifact?
Scenes appeared one after another, scenes of the past.
"Are we really going to leave?" By the lakeside, a delicate young lady said softly, her face full of reluctance. She looked hopefully at a man in white clothes purer than snow, wishing for him to stay behind.
"I want to become strong, become unmatched under the heavens." The white-clothed youngster was heroic and full of confidence. His eyes were sparkling, flickering with a brilliance that could make the sun and moon lose color.
He wanted to walk on the starry sky ancient path, embark on an unmatched journey, become the only one in this world, defeat all young supreme beings, and stand at the peak of unmatched power.
He was in such high spirits, not noticing the sadness in the young lady's eyes. He didn't look back, stepping on the heavenly path, wishing to realize his own dreams.
"You … will you still come back, will you … come see me again?" The young lady's eyes were filled with tears, shouting from behind, full of reluctance.
The white-clothed male turned around and laughed loudly, making even the sun and moon in the sky dim. He was full of confidence, saying, "Of course, when I become an emperor, I will make the entire world's brilliance surround your body."
After speaking, he rushed back to the great earth, plucking a wild flower from a cliff, handing it to the young lady. Then, without even turning his head back, he rushed into outer space, stepping on the heavenly path.
"I will wait for you, don't forget me, you have to come back." The young lady shed tears, shouting from the great earth, waving her hands with all her might.
Xue Yueqing fought on the emperor's path, going to ancient star domains one after another, fighting against outstanding heroes, fighting for who knew how many years, tempering himself. There was blood, there was pain, but there were also successes.
He fought his way through the ancient path, rarely encountering an opponent, defeating many peerless great enemies. His brilliance illuminated the starry path, and in the end, he even fought against some of the most powerful ancient stars.
During this period of time, he was surrounded by enemies all over the world, suffering the most terrifying pursuit. The great ancient star domains all surrounded him, and the emperor's path was just this cruel.
He had no way to see his old friends, no way to turn back. He could only fight a bloody path, slaughtering his way out.
In the end, he became an emperor, sweeping through all powerful enemies, becoming the sole ruler under the heavens. His brilliance was boundless, shaking the past and present, no one in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths could contend against him.
He did it, truly becoming an emperor, becoming unrivalled under the heavens. He was revered as the Demon Emperor by the myriad realms, destined to be recorded in the history of cultivation, becoming an unreachable existence from ancient times until now.
Xue Yueqing followed the path he had taken before, heading towards the Ancient Demon Planet, embarking on his return journey. However, what awaited him was no longer that young lady, only a few old demons with one foot in the grave.
The young lady passed away, leaving five hundred years ago, her bones buried in the place where they parted, never to appear again.
Xue Yueqing was greatly sorrowful, roaring towards the heavens. The universe collapsed, the aura of a great emperor engulfed everything, almost destroying the boundless universe.
"Borrow from the heavens for five hundred years!" This was his great roar, nothing could be changed.
The few old demons told him that there was a problem with the young lady's cultivation, transforming into the dao and dying, not even leaving behind a body. When she turned into a rain of light, her face was filled with tears, muttering his name.
Xue Yueqing roared in sorrow. He was a great emperor, unrivalled under the heavens, unrivalled throughout the ages! However, he couldn't change anything, he couldn't save that girl, he missed this chance in life.
The delicate young lady transformed into the dao, disappearing into the distance with the rain of light, only leaving behind a bouquet of flowers, precisely the one he gave her when he left back then, now long withered and withering.
Within the cracked emperor tomb, everyone was stunned, finally understanding why the Demon Emperor of a generation only had a withered bouquet of flowers at his side. In his heart, this was the most precious thing.
Even if he was unrivalled under the heavens, there would still be times when he was powerless. He ascended to the peak of glory, suddenly looking back, he discovered that the most simple and ordinary things were the true things.
Ye Fan's heart was moved, he couldn't help but release a long sigh. "Tasting the splendor of the world cannot make up for a lifetime of bitterness and regret."
