Tai Sheng Huang stood before the gates of the Immortal Heavenly Pass. From his body surged the supreme aura of an Imperial Supreme One, soaring into the heavens in an instant and rushing deep into the Primordial Immortal Realm, startling all living beings across the immortal realm.
All living beings were startled. Countless powerhouses gazed in shock toward the direction of the Heavenly Pass. Even those Primordial Times Sovereigns who reigned over vast territories trembled with fear and changed expressions.
For this was an Emperor, an existence no less supreme than a Supreme Immortal. All of this originated from the Immortal Heavenly Pass, where an immense, boundless imperial aura was sweeping forth, causing everyone to tremble in fright.
"An Emperor! Could it be they intend to forcefully breach the Primordial Immortal Realm and initiate the most terrifying Emperor-level battle?"
Billions of living beings were horrified. If that were to happen, it would spell immense destruction for the entire Primordial Immortal Realm.
However, they soon calmed down. For the Primordial Immortal Realm was the first ancient cosmos of the Chaos Sea, possessing Supreme Immortals no weaker than Imperial Supreme Ones—not just one, but several—who had always guarded the Primordial Immortal Realm and would not allow such a thing to happen.
Sure enough, from deep within the Primordial Immortal Realm, one colossus from antiquity after another began to awaken. Among them, supreme auras comparable to that of an Emperor began to revive, surging through past and present, rushing forth with overwhelming force. A cold voice echoed grandly: "Who is it? Which Emperor dares to trespass into our Primordial Immortal Realm?"
One imperial aura after another appeared. The strength of the Primordial Immortal Realm far exceeded imagination. These were Supreme Immortals no weaker than Emperors, supremely powerful, and now they were all alerted, awakening, their might suppressing all heavens.
Moreover, the Supreme Immortals of the Primordial Immortal Realm were exceptionally forceful. Even an Imperial Supreme One could not forcefully breach the Primordial Immortal Realm. Otherwise, they would surely make the intruder pay a bloody price, not hesitating to initiate a supreme Emperor-level battle and slay the trespassing Emperor.
Yet soon, someone was shocked, for this aura felt strangely familiar. A colossus from antiquity among the Supreme Immortals spoke up in astonishment: "It's Tai Sheng Huang, but didn't he already enter—"
The Supreme Immortal's words stopped halfway, the unspoken remainder sparking endless speculation.
Nevertheless, the presence of Tai Sheng Huang still made all the Supreme Immortals wary. For he was one of the most powerful Emperors throughout history, in a sense could be called an Immortal King, for he was an existence capable of suppressing and slaying Imperial Supreme Ones—a life-threatening presence to all Supreme Immortals. No one could ignore such a supreme being.
"It's not the true Tai Sheng Huang, but a projection. To think it has appeared... and that Nine-Colored Divine Crown has appeared as well."
Another colossus from antiquity among the Supreme Immortals spoke, gazing at the Nine-Colored Immortal Gold Divine Crown shining upon all heavens atop Tai Sheng Huang's head. Within his eyes, epochs changed, billions of living beings perished and were reborn, scenes so astonishing it was as if they contained an entire ancient cosmos.
Clearly, the origins of that Nine-Colored Mythical Crown far exceeded imagination.
Tai Sheng Huang's projection stood calmly before the gates of the Immortal Heavenly Pass and spoke: "Do not worry. My arrival is only to deliver something that will be of great use for the future war."
Boom—
With a single palm strike, he sent the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin flying into the Primordial Immortal Realm. From within came the roar of an imperial corpse, enraging all heavens.
"This is—an imperial corpse! And the supreme imperial resentment born from death!"
The various colossi from antiquity within the Primordial Immortal Realm were all shocked. Truly worthy of Tai Sheng Huang, such a grand gesture was truly matchless in the world.
Visible to the naked eye, the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin was directly sent into the deepest part of the Primordial Immortal Realm—a place that was the legendary No-Man's Land, the Burial Zone for Emperors and Immortals, said to have buried everything, holding extremely significant secrets.
The various colossi from antiquity among the Supreme Immortals of the Primordial Immortal Realm did not intervene, silently watching it all.
Tai Sheng Huang now sending a Nine-Layered Divine Coffin sealing a corpse emperor into the Burial Zone for Emperors shocked many powerhouses within the Primordial Immortal Realm. Perhaps only those colossi from antiquity among the Supreme Immortals truly understood the true intention of such a Strongest Emperor.
"What a Tai Sheng Huang! Truly worthy of being one of the Strongest Emperors throughout history. Such a grand gesture!"
Within the Primordial Immortal Realm, several colossi from antiquity among the Supreme Immortals responded in deep voices, feeling genuine admiration for Tai Sheng Huang, one of the most powerful Emperors in history.
The Nine-Layered Divine Coffin shot straight into the No-Man's Land in the deepest part of the Primordial Immortal Realm. Tai Sheng Huang's gaze was profound, epochs changing, eras rotating, as if he could see through everything.
Ye Chen, within his body, also caught glimpses of some astonishing scenes. There were all heavens and myriad beings, great worlds stained with blood, Emperors entrenched, Supreme Immortals standing upon the nine heavens, stars of all heavens falling, the emergence of Primordial Times holy spirits...
In that brief moment, too many shocking scenes flashed by. Even Ye Chen could not see them all clearly, catching only a small portion. Among them, there seemed to be confrontations between Emperors and Immortals.
In short, it was a vast, perilous region. Throughout history, even Emperors and Supreme Immortals would not lightly set foot in that No-Man's Land unless absolutely necessary.
Ye Chen was astonished. Was that the true face of the No-Man's Land? Or was it merely a corner, with even more terrifying aspects yet to appear?
"In the future Ultimate Battle, that place will be one of the sources."
Tai Sheng Huang spoke softly, as if to himself, yet also as if telling Ye Chen, urging him to prepare in advance.
"I hope there is still time. Otherwise, everything will be too late. The future will be stained with blood, and the Ultimate Battle will also be buried in destruction, including past, present, and future."
Even for a Strongest Emperor like Tai Sheng Huang, matchless throughout history, the future Ultimate Battle carried an indescribable weight.
Precisely because it was too terrifying, those Emperors and Sovereigns from the Sealed Boundary Cosmos who had not perished in the past chose to leave, embarking on the path of war. Some reincarnated life after life, some continued fighting endlessly, some ventured into the deadliest places of past and present, some endured humiliation and heavy burdens...
All of this was solely to face the most terrifying Ultimate Battle of the future.
When that day arrives, everyone will return to personally welcome the coming of that battle, and it will not be too far away.
"Young friend, none of us will interfere with your path. But we hope you can survive and perfect the Chaos Great Dao. This may be the only hope to change the future."
Even a magnificent figure like Tai Sheng Huang carried a particular heaviness in his tone. For a future stained with blood, perhaps only transcending and achieving eternity could truly bring change.
Ye Chen remained silent, nodding heavily. No matter the reason, he must bring about change.
"Young friend, I hope that when we meet again, you will have become an Emperor, and we can fight side by side!"
At this moment, Tai Sheng Huang smiled slightly, a hint of a smile appearing. His magnificent great dao will began to dissipate, carrying Ye Chen as they rushed out from the dimensional void where the River of Time was located, heading toward that ruined Emperor's World.
