"Master!"
Komatsu's eyes were tearing up. He was originally a weak and shy 'pure child'. At this time, when he saw Ye Fan covered in blood and swaying violently, he couldn't help but cry out loud.
Back then, when he was ignorant and still a Komatsu Mouse, it was Ye Fan who brought him onto this different path. Now, when he saw his master's head full of white hair, his qi and blood declining and about to die at any time, he was incomparably broken-hearted. He supported him while continuously shedding tears.
"Master, let's return to the Celestial Court and take the Undying Medicine." Komatsu was about to carry Ye Fan on his back and bring him away.
Ye Fan shook his head and had him put him down. He sat down in the starry sky without moving. His injuries were extremely serious, but this wasn't the main point. The most terrifying thing was that his body was about to dry up.
Countless essence energy surged over from all over the cosmos. Many star domains became dark because many starry radiance were guided over and entered Celestial Emperor's body.
Ye Fan adjusted his breathing. His entire body overflowed with lustrous precious light, drawing back all of the Celestial Emperor's blood that had splashed out and merging it into his body. Then, he refined the supreme beings' blood energy into strands of essence and refined them into divine essence to treat his body.
His injured body healed and his blood energy converged. Celestial Emperor's body seemed to have recovered, but this wasn't much. The most terrifying thing was the body's decline. This was difficult to reverse.
Ye Fan's Celestial Emperor's body already couldn't store too much essence energy. After the starlight of the eight desolations entered his body to a certain extent, it began to overflow on its own and no longer accumulated.
His body was declining and his blood energy dried up like a rotten iron pot. It couldn't hold too much water and would leak out. It was a sign that he had one foot in the grave and was about to end his life.
Even divine medicines were useless. Ye Fan's situation was a sign of death. No one could save him, no precious medicine could bring him back to life.
Under this kind of situation, even if he wanted to make the final leap and live a third life to save himself, he couldn't do so. He exhausted the last of his reserves, completely obliterating the divine core in his body in that world-shocking battle.
Fighting against the seven supreme beings was already his limit. Forcefully taking out a mouthful of essence blood to recover to his peak state was already a great loss for him. Then, fighting against the matchless Undying Heavenly Emperor exhausted all the immortal essence he had accumulated.
"Master!" Komatsu shed tears. He watched as his master, who was all-powerful in the past, difficult to defeat in the heavens above and earth below, now aged like this. His hair was white, bloodstained, and he was about to die in the passage of time. His heart felt as if it was being twisted by a knife.
This kind of situation really made people feel helpless. If a person's Soul Fire was about to be extinguished, how could they continue to live? Ye Fan forcefully took a deep breath, otherwise, his primordial spirit would completely dim.
He laughed. The affairs of the world really were hard to predict. He actually reached this step, unmatched under the heavens for fifty thousand years, but in the end, he actually drew down the Undying Heavenly Emperor's assassination.
It was clear that the other party had experienced this type of later years as well, so he understood this type of state quite well. That was why when he took action, it was extremely targeted, wishing to erase the immortal essence within his body, not giving him a chance.
People like them wouldn't die even if their bodies were ruined and their primordial spirits shattered. In their later years, the most precious thing was the long life essence they accumulated. That was the foundation they used to transform into their next life.
Ye Fan had observed Guan Cheng, remembered the white-robed Divine King, looked at the Golden Crow Thearch, looked at the little divine silkworm, and had come into close contact with people who had lived a second life. He had already explored the mysteries of living another life in the dying years.
There was a method to live one life, and it was difficult to repeat.
He had accumulated it for many years just for this day. Although his body and spirit looked haggard, his lifespan was about to end, and his source had already dried up, that was only on the surface. Secretly, there was a trace of long life essence being born, just like a divine fetus.
What a pity. Ye Fan had prepared for so long, but it was destroyed just like this. The Heavenly Emperor's attack was extraordinary and too tyrannical. If one didn't resist with all their strength, there was no way to block it at all.
In reality, Ye Fan could guess that the Heavenly Emperor's attack was also mainly because of his Celestial Thearch's imprint, as well as the long life essence he had accumulated that outsiders didn't know about.
"Don't cry." Ye Fan coughed up a mouthful of blood and said to Komatsu with a smile. He had lived for more than 50,000 years and was used to seeing life and death in the mortal world one after another. When it came to him, it was nothing.
"Master, I don't want you to die!" Komatsu wiped away his tears and sat cross-legged on the opposite side. He wanted to refine his own source to prolong Ye Fan's life.
Ye Fan shook his head and stopped him. "That's useless."
"What is useful? Master, you definitely know, right? Please tell me, I will definitely find a way to live for you," Komatsu asked hopefully.
"Don't be sad. It won't be that easy even if the heavens want to take me away, because I still don't want to die." Ye Fan forcefully gathered a breath of essence energy, and his divine flame didn't dissipate.
Just as he said, he had to resist. Even if he had one last breath left, he wouldn't give in. He had to work hard to live another life, because he still had some things to do. The oath and promise from back then were still by his ears. He had to unfold a vast battle map of long life.
"Kacha!"
However, Ye Fan was truly too old. He had exhausted all his immortal essence and his immortal foundation was covered in cracks, about to shatter at any moment. As for his body, it might directly be burned to ashes.
He was at the edge of an extremely dangerous state. If he couldn't live another life, he would directly transform into the dao, walking towards the end of his life.
Who in the world could block a single strike from the Undying Sky Emperor? How many people in the past could do so? And now, Ye Fan did it, dragging his declining body to fight for such a long time. This was simply a miracle.
For several days in a row, Ye Fan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. He didn't return to the Celestial Court and just sat there in the starry space, not moving at all.
The outside world was already in an uproar. The Sky Emperor killed seven ancient emperors in a single day. This was like a legend, who could compare?
The most shocking thing was that the Undying Sky Emperor who had disappeared for countless years reappeared, fighting against the Sky Emperor. This was the reappearance of an immortal war, causing everyone's hair to stand on end. After that, their blood began to boil.
The curtains fell on the battle, but the world wasn't at peace.
The emotions of all clans were complicated, especially the powerful clans that worshiped the Undying Sky Emperor. There was a type of indescribable emotion that couldn't be explained.
Meanwhile, even more people were calling out the Sky Emperor's name. Fighting to this step with his aged body, cutting off the Flying Immortal Waterfall and forcing back the Sky Emperor, this was already the most glorious battle accomplishment that no one could compare to.
The Celestial Court had long moved out. Endless celestial soldiers and generals were like dark clouds, surrounding this star domain to protect the Sky Emperor, waiting for his rebirth. Even though the outside world was saying that the Sky Emperor was in his later years, that he didn't have much time left, that he couldn't continue living anymore, the celestial soldiers and generals still weren't willing to accept this, believing that the Sky Emperor wouldn't leave this world.
Only, everyone carried expressions of worry. Even though it was hard to accept the current situation, reality was right before their eyes. The Sky Emperor who intimidated the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, someone who couldn't be defeated was really going to pass away in meditation.
Komatsu moved the Origin Ancient Mine that was exposed in this battle over. It was full of Origin Life Stone, surging with life force. Ye Fan entered, borrowing this heaven defying place to cultivate.
For an entire half a month, Ye Fan's condition didn't change at all, maintaining that state of imminent death.
"Master was originally going to die, but his willpower was firm. He forcefully produced a bit of immortal essence, preserving his body in this world. Moreover, this Origin Ancient Mine still has some use. I must think of a way to help Master reverse his fate."
Komatsu was sad. After thinking for a while, he carried Ye Fan on his back and instantly tore through the void, disappearing from this world. No one knew where they went.
On Earth, within the Kunlun Immortal Mountains, their figures appeared. Komatsu carried Ye Fan to the land of immortal ascension, the place where the green copper cauldron was nurtured.
For an entire ten years, they were cut off from the world. The outside world was spreading rumors that the Sky Emperor had died, ending his incomparably glorious and legendary life.
"What a pity, the Sky Emperor left this world just like that. What a pity. We weren't able to see his young body fight against the Sky Emperor at the peak."
"The Undying Sky Emperor is truly terrifying. What method did he use to still live in his prime? Could it be that there is long life substance on the other side of the Flying Immortal Waterfall?"
"The Sky Emperor's strength is truly heaven-defying. What a pity for the Sky Emperor!"
In Kunlun, immortal energy surged. Flowing lights and vibrant colors filled the air, and dense mist lingered about. It was like an immortal realm.
Komatsu activated this place with great magical power, causing the tens of thousands of Dragon Head Peaks to spit out dragon saliva once again. It gathered towards the immortal ascension pond, causing immortal light to overflow and mist to fill the air.
During these ten years, Ye Fan sat in the immortal ascension pond without moving. The dragon saliva flowed over and nourished his body, preventing it from worsening. It temporarily preserved his state.
If he wanted to truly survive, he still had to rely on himself. Everything in the outside world was useless because this time, he was walking the path of living another life. Relying on divine medicines to extend his life was already useless.
During these ten years, Komatsu thought of all kinds of methods. He even took out a small section of the Flying Immortal Waterfall from Ye Fan's cauldron and studied this substance left behind on the path of long life. In the end, he didn't find a way to save his life. Instead, his cultivation increased imperceptibly.
Another three years passed, and Komatsu brought Nannan to Kunlun. This time, the little girl slept for three thousand years. She had just woken up, and seeing Ye Fan in this state, she immediately burst into tears.
"Big brother … wake up."
Ye Fan struggled to open his eyes and said, "Don't cry, Nannan. Big brother will be fine."
The little girl continuously cried. Komatsu channeled all of her tears into the immortal ascension pond, but it was still ineffective. This was because Ye Fan was already the Sky Emperor. There was almost nothing in this world that could defy the heavens and change his fate.
"Big brother … eat Nannan. You will definitely survive." The little girl actually said such words and kept on crying.
The little girl, who looked to be only two or three years old, was begging the white-haired Sky Emperor, who was about to reach the end of his life, to eat her. It looked very strange, but it made everyone's heart grieve.
Even Ye Fan's nose was a little sour. Waves rose in his heart. He helped her wipe away her tears and said, "Be good, Nannan. Don't think too much. Big brother doesn't want to die. Even the heavens can't take me away."
"Nannan doesn't want big brother to die …" The little girl's eyes were misty as she said pitifully.
"Don't worry, I will definitely survive," Ye Fan answered.
In reality, the Ruthless Great Emperor in the Desolate Ancient Abyss had undergone a mysterious transformation, and it seriously affected the little girl. She didn't stay here for long before she fell asleep again.
"Komatsu, take her away. Don't let anyone come close. I want to meditate for ten years!" Ye Fan's gaze suddenly became firm as he ordered.
"Master …" Komatsu's heart trembled.
"Don't worry, I have more or less comprehended it. Although there is only a little bit of immortal essence in my body, it is enough. I can take that step through Nirvana," Ye Fan said.
He felt a little bit of immortal essence, and these ten years of lingering on the edge of death allowed him to comprehend even more. To live a new life and ascend to Nirvana, he had to build his foundation on these "ruins".
Komatsu left and took Nannan with him.
After this day, Ye Fan wandered between life and death. He thought of the desperate situation of the White-Robed Divine King back then, recalled the symptoms of Little Can always forget the past, and thought about what he had learned when he personally explored Guan Cheng and the Golden Crow Thearch.
Time passed, and the placenta-like Immortal Ascension Pond maintained Ye Fan's strange state of being immortal, buying him the most precious time.
Not even ten years had passed. Seven years later, this place overflowed with blood energy, piercing through the heavens and alarming all creatures in the universe.
At this time, the outside world was saying that the Celestial Emperor had passed away in meditation and that he no longer existed in this world. But today, everyone was shaken. The boundless dao were all wailing and bowing in submission. And the experts in the universe, no matter how far away they were, trembled and couldn't help but want to kowtow.
Everyone looked in the same direction. No matter how far away they were, even if they crossed countless galaxies, they could still see the rushing fragments of time and saw a wondrous scene that shocked the ages.
Boundless blood energy overflowed into the heavens. The Celestial Emperor reappeared and slowly stood up. Within the vigorous blood energy and powerful vitality, he was reborn and rose up once again!
That was a young Celestial Emperor who was only about twenty years old. His black hair was like a waterfall that naturally draped over his sparkling body. He stood in the boundless sky and looked down on all living things!
He had lived a third life and was so powerful that it made people's hearts tremble.
