Whoosh—
Within the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin, the Emperor's Corpse opened its eyes. In that instant, heaven collapsed and earth split. The entire Emperor World was pierced through, two massive holes blasted open, completely breaching the outside world.
The Emperor's Corpse had revived!
Boom—
Simultaneously, an immeasurable pressure erupted, one that could be described as shaking the past and present. It was boundless, terrifying, and so powerful it caused the very heavens to tremble and crack.
That was Emperor's Might, true Emperor's Might, pure and unadulterated. A vast, indescribable Emperor's Might flowed forth. The entire vast Ancient Universe trembled at this moment, and the myriad Daos of the heavens resonated in fear.
Everything was forced to submit, everything was forced to wail, all things were compelled to bow low. Nothing could resist.
The Emperor's Corpse had revived, as if an Emperor had returned to the world. The most terrifying Emperor's Might instantly permeated the myriad Daos, affecting the entire great universe in a flash, allowing all living beings across the heavens to sense it. Everyone was startled.
Whether they were reclusive experts in seclusion or slumbering in deep sleep, each one was alerted by the Dao. They gazed up at the firmament. The myriad Daos of the heavens trembled and hummed, all proving the emergence of a supreme existence transcending the mortal world, before whom the myriad Daos submitted.
Among them, the living beings within the Emperor World felt it most intensely. The Emperor's Might, formless and shapeless, completely enveloped everything, causing all powerful beings to feel their bodies stiffen, unable to move.
Even the five peak Great Powers, wielding six Monarch Immortal Weapons, felt as weak and immobile as ants under this genuine Emperor's Might.
It seemed as if a single glance from the Emperor's Corpse could reduce everything to dust.
The six Monarch Immortal Weapons spontaneously emitted mournful hums, sensing the immense pressure descending upon them. Their radiance dimmed, and they trembled incessantly, unable to offer any resistance.
Even the two Ancient Monarchs, Monarch Xuelan and Monarch Yan, felt an overwhelming pressure surging down upon them at this moment, as if it would tear them apart completely, shattering them to pieces.
This was the true Supreme One Emperor's Might, transcending all. Even beings as powerful as Ancient Monarchs were insufficient. Before such a Supreme One existence, everything was fragile beyond compare.
Boom—
At this moment, the Supreme One imperial weapon, the Nine Spirits Diagram, subjected to immense pressure, spontaneously revived. It also revealed an even more intense Emperor's Might, isolating the influence of the Emperor's Might emanating from the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin, allowing many to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, what followed was boundless terror. For a true Emperor had died and now revived, surpassing Ancient Monarchs, proudly overlooking the heavens. Soon, the most terrifying calamity might follow.
It would be a great disaster for the entire Ancient Universe.
A soft sound, yet it rang out like thunder!
It was the Emperor's Corpse, rising fully from within the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin. Human skin draped over its frame, restoring the majestic stature of the Emperor from days of yore. It possessed a supreme, peerless immortal divine body, with black hair cascading like a waterfall, yet appearing so eerie. Each strand seemed to contain a supreme Dao principle, converging to form a complete set of the myriad heavenly Daos, merging with itself.
This was a true Supreme One Emperor, the strongest throughout eternity, unmatched.
However, its body still bore nine deep marks—wounds left by nine Chaos Immortal Gold divine swords, difficult to heal, containing the Supreme One Emperor laws left by that supreme existence who had nailed and slain it in the past.
This also caused this revived Emperor to lose a measure of its majesty, gaining instead a terrifying ferocity. Its flesh was withered, like skin stretched over bones, gaunt and frightening.
A pair of eyes glowed with an eerie green light, less resembling an Emperor and more like the most fearsome fierce ghost in the world.
Yet even so, it could not change the invincibility of the Emperor's Corpse. It stood high above, positioned atop the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin, its robes stained with blood, appearing ferocious yet so peerlessly unmatched, capable of sweeping aside everything in the world.
"Finally revived!"
The Emperor's Corpse spoke, as if to itself. There was excitement, unwillingness, anger, helplessness... a myriad of emotions flashed by, yet what remained in the end was indifference—indifference to everything, like the indifference of a lofty deity towards ants.
Everyone knew a cold-blooded, ruthless Emperor had revived.
Indeed, as the world had imagined, once the Emperor's Corpse revived, it would likely be a colossal disaster for the heavens, endangering all living beings and threatening the entire Ancient Universe.
But all of this was useless, for it had truly revived.
The Emperor's Corpse looked down from its commanding height upon everyone, including the two Ancient Monarchs. Its eyes flickered with cold-blooded, indifferent light, a sinister green glow. "Having passed away for so many years, I can finally revive. I shall return to my peak and seek revenge on that person from the past."
Within its words was hatred and resentment so intense it could not be greater, showing how deeply it resented that great existence who had nailed it to death within the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin.
If not for that supreme existence, how could it have died with such unwillingness, such frustration, requiring endless ages to finally revive.
Then it looked towards the myriad heavenly experts. Its indifferent gaze carried boundless pressure, making it difficult for anyone to bear, unable to catch their breath. It spoke lightly, "This Emperor has revived, and in a way, shares a fate with you all. Contribute your origin power to aid this Emperor in fully returning to its peak. If the opportunity arises in the future, this Emperor shall revive you all and lead you by its side to wage war in the Chaos Sea."
With a flick of its sleeve, among the myriad heavenly experts near the chasm, a series of popping sounds rang out. Over a hundred experts suddenly exploded.
This included seven ancient Great Sages as well. They simply could not control themselves, self-detonating and exploding into clouds of blood mist, containing vast amounts of life essence, all surging towards the Emperor's Corpse.
This scene chilled everyone to the bone. That was over a hundred experts, including ancient Great Sages, yet they self-detonated with seemingly no ability to resist. Was this the true means of an Emperor?
Truly demonic and evil!
Boom—
Among them were many true Heavenly Kings, and seven ancient Great Sages. Their life essence could be considered quite vigorous, yet it only caused the Emperor's Corpse's withered flesh to swell slightly.
An Emperor was ultimately too powerful, said to contain a great universe within its body—not just empty words.
The life essence required for a complete recovery far exceeded imagination, likely requiring hundreds of millions, if not billions, of living beings.
The Emperor's Corpse frowned. "Still too little. Now, all of you shall offer yourselves as sacrifice, allowing this Emperor to return to its peak. This is your fortune."
It was about to act again, capable of transforming everyone into life essence.
Everyone felt their blood energy tremble, their life essence rapidly draining away, a truly horrifying sensation.
Even Ye Chen was no exception.
