Ye Chen was inwardly shocked. It was clear that this would require the Qing Gu Emperor to pay an irreversible price.
But what kind of incantation was the Qing Gu Emperor about to unleash?
"You think too much. As long as this Emperor breaks free, as long as my Emperor's origin is recovered, everything will be restored. Even if the greatest karma descends, it cannot harm me. I shall ultimately shatter all obstacles!"
The Qing Gu Emperor spoke coldly. The world was filled with a vast, desolate, and icy killing intent that swept across heaven and earth!
Boom—
Suddenly, the entire great world trembled violently. Below, the Qing Gu Emperor's supreme Emperor body erupted with a terrifying aura that shook the ancient void and rippled through the River of Time—it was the Emperor's Might, but far more terrifying.
Countless thick spatial fissures continuously spread out, rushing in all directions, expanding across the entire great world, threatening to tear it completely apart.
At this moment, Ye Chen distinctly sensed from the Qing Gu Emperor's body a truly supreme and flawless Emperor's Might. It was actually forcing his remnant soul state to regress back to the state of a Great Perfection Emperor. Was this the means of a Supreme Emperor?
Ye Chen's heart was shaken!
Visible to the naked eye, the thick divine chains binding the Qing Gu Emperor clattered loudly, soaring into the sky and pulling taut, as if they might snap at any moment.
At the same time, the ten divine pillars piercing his four limbs, five viscera, and Niwan Palace shook violently, also showing signs of being shattered.
However, how could the Primordial Deity allow the Qing Gu Emperor to break free? The Primordial Great Halberd suddenly erupted with billions of zhang of boundless light. Accompanied by Supreme Emperor's Might, the deity brandished the great halberd and slashed down fiercely.
Boom—
The Qing Gu Emperor snorted coldly. His massive Emperor body now possessed the most perfect Emperor's Might. The ten divine pillars shimmered with Emperor marks, shaking violently, almost on the verge of being broken free. Yet, a vast Emperor's Might surged forth, colliding with the attack and exploding, completely tearing apart this great world.
The Primordial Deity continuously wielded the Primordial Great Halberd to block, but now he sighed softly.
Although he was not inferior to a Supreme Emperor's weapon, a deity was ultimately a deity, not the true Formless Sovereign. He could not withstand the Qing Gu Emperor, who had used a heaven-defying incantation to regress back to his Great Perfection period.
More and more terrifying Emperor Dao Laws surged forth endlessly. Eventually, even the Primordial Deity felt strained.
He usually required the infusion of others' divine power to awaken, but now his autonomous awakening consumed even more divine power. After this awakening, he would need to slumber for a longer time.
Boom—
A terrifying array of Emperor Dao runes suddenly soared into the sky, originating from the Qing Gu Emperor's body. They exploded violently, tearing open the Emperor-Suppressing Realm and blasting open a passage.
Moreover, the Qing Gu Emperor began reciting a mysterious and unfathomable Emperor Dao incantation, possessing unimaginable power that shook the ancient and illuminated the present. Within it, one terrifying phenomenon after another appeared—Supreme True Demons, Heavenly Demons suppressing eternity, the great universe annihilating, and more. All were Emperor Dao divine abilities, terrifying beyond measure. This great world could hardly withstand them and began to collapse entirely.
The entire Emperor-Suppressing Peak erupted with boundless Emperor marks and Emperor Dao Laws, usually hidden but now appearing everywhere, all to guard against this moment.
"Alchemy Emperor, how dare you suppress this Emperor? Begone!"
The Qing Gu Emperor roared. He spared no cost, paying a nearly irreversible great price to regress back to a state near his peak Emperor realm. Boundless Emperor Dao Laws and Great Dao runes surged forth completely, colliding with everything.
Boom—
This great world shattered. A thick pillar of light burst through all the Alchemy Emperor's Laws, even piercing through the body of the Emperor-Suppressing Peak, breaking through to the outside world and illuminating the entire Fallen Emperor Battlefield, capturing everyone's attention.
"This is—"
Whether it was the ten Ancient Monarchs from both sides engaged in battle or the armies on the battlefield, they all stopped fighting at this moment and turned their attention.
Because from that blazing pillar of light, they all sensed a vast, boundless Emperor's Divine Might, overwhelming and reaching everywhere. All beings across the heavens would have to kneel and submit, unable to resist.
"Has our world's Emperor broken free?"
The five alien Ancient Monarchs revealed looks of joy, but on the other side, the Old Monarch and the other five Ancient Monarchs showed shock, even horror.
If the alien Emperor suppressed below were to emerge, it would be an apocalyptic disaster for them.
They desperately wanted to use the Supreme Emperor's weapon and the Nine Cauldrons Emperor Diagram to suppress and kill, but they could not. Here, there were the Alchemy Emperor's Emperor Dao restrictions. They had once protected the Old Monarch guarding the Emperor-Suppressing Peak, but now they also became shackles preventing them from displaying their full strength.
"Bring the Five Emperors' Essence Blood here!"
At this moment, the Qing Gu Emperor's voice, containing endless majesty, transmitted from within the Emperor-Suppressing Peak.
"Yes, Great Emperor!"
The five alien Ancient Monarchs dared not delay. Riding their five Primordial Ancient Savage Beast Venerables, they charged forward. But the Old Monarch and the other five Ancient Monarchs naturally could not just watch as the Five Emperors' Essence Blood was delivered below and hurriedly took action.
Boom—
At this moment, from within the Emperor-Suppressing Peak, a boundless Emperor's Might soared into the sky and then suddenly expanded, sweeping away the five monarchs on this side. They were utterly unable to resist, their faces filled with horror.
Was the Qing Gu Emperor truly about to revive?
The five Great Dao bottles containing the Five Emperors' Essence Blood now completely disintegrated, dissolving into a sky full of Great Dao runes, revealing the five drops of Emperor's Essence Blood within. Each drop was only the size of a thumb, yet without the containment of the Great Dao bottles, they fully unleashed the boundless power belonging to an Emperor's essence blood.
Boom—
Visible to the naked eye, the moment the five drops of Emperor's Essence Blood appeared, heaven and earth changed color, and various world-shaking phenomena erupted, boiling across the heavens.
Within, boundless chaos churned violently. One could see great worlds being created, floating within the chaos, with mountains and rivers forming, stars appearing, and the birth, aging, sickness, and death of all living beings in the world. In the blink of an eye, entire great worlds fell into destruction, returning to chaos.
This cycle repeated endlessly.
One could also see various peerless holy spirits that belonged only to chaos appearing, endless flashes of thunder, mysterious deities of all heavens descending to the mortal realm, three thousand heavenly demons roaring...
All of this originated from the Five Emperors' Essence Blood, and each type of Emperor's Essence Blood manifested different phenomena, all belonging to legends. There were also terrifying scenes carrying the great war of epochs, Emperors weeping blood, supreme immortals turning to sorrow...
Everyone who saw it felt their hearts shaken. Was this the true manifestation of an Emperor's Essence Blood?
Each drop seemed to contain an ancient universe, possessing the mysteries of the myriad Daos of the heavens, along with Extreme Dao Emperor's Might, unparalleled and awe-inspiring.
This was Emperor's Essence Blood. A single drop was enough to destroy great worlds and shatter the heavens.
If the Qing Gu Emperor obtained it, he truly might revive in defiance of heaven.
Boom—
Boundless Emperor's Might emanated from the Five Emperors' Essence Blood. All living beings in this Fallen Emperor Battlefield, including the ten Ancient Monarchs, felt an intense sense of oppression.
At the same time, heaven and earth rumbled. Another Emperor Dao Law appeared at the highest point of the sky. A majestic, ancient, and mysterious great cauldron manifested. Its mouth contained a great universe, with a vast, boundless starry sky. Emperor's Might permeated it, and countless chains of order intertwined, resisting the Emperor's Might of the Five Emperors' Essence Blood.
"This is—"
Everyone looked over, sensing the flow of Emperor's Might. It was similar to the Dan Emperor Cauldron of the Alchemy Emperor Clan, but it was not the Dan Emperor Cauldron, nor a true Supreme Emperor's weapon. It was purely condensed from Emperor Dao Laws.
Clearly, this was an Emperor mark left behind by the Alchemy Emperor in the past, now manifesting and condensing into an Immortal Emperor Cauldron.
"Father!"
"Ancestor Emperor!"
The Emperor's Daughter and many clansmen of the Alchemy Emperor Clan were excited.
Especially the Emperor's Daughter, who felt her father's familiar aura. Usually strong, her eyes now shimmered with tears, her heart trembling as she gazed at this Emperor Cauldron, hoping perhaps to glean some trace of her father from it.
However, no one noticed that the Old Monarch also appeared excited, his eyes glistening with a few teardrops, but then they dimmed again.
Boom—
The Emperor Cauldron descended from the sky. Though not a true Supreme Emperor's weapon, at this moment it possessed genuine Supreme Emperor's Might, pressing down on the Five Emperors' Essence Blood. Chains of order flew out, intertwining across heaven and earth, while Emperor's majestic power surged forth, grinding away the myriad heavenly phenomena, seeking to collect the Five Emperors' Essence Blood and prevent the Qing Gu Emperor from obtaining it.
Emperor's means!
The world was shocked. Even though the Alchemy Emperor had long been gone, he had deduced the current situation from the endless ages past and left behind such means to prevent the most terrifying calamity from occurring.
"No—"
The five alien Ancient Monarchs were horrified and wanted to stop it, but even powerful as they were, they could not. The Emperor's Might was terrifying and boundless, making it difficult for them to advance a single step, unable to enter.
Boom—
At this moment, from within the Five Emperors' Essence Blood, a radiant light suddenly burst forth. Five immense, colossal figures appeared, one after another, all with overwhelming Emperor's Might. The River of Time seemed to flicker in and out of existence.
These were Emperor Shadows, the masters of the Five Emperors' Essence Blood. They could not come themselves, but they had left world-shaking means within their Emperor's Essence Blood.
The Emperor Shadows manifested, as if the five alien Emperors had descended. The River of Time was almost fully revealed. Boundless Emperor's Might flooded this Fallen Emperor Battlefield. All the stars in the sky were completely shaken down, turning that starry sky into an empty, dead silent place.
"Emperor Shadows descend!"
The Old Monarch, the Alchemy Emperor Clan Monarch, Monarch Yan, and the other five monarchs all changed expressions one after another. The Five Emperors' Essence Blood actually had such a contingency.
Each was a true projection of a Supreme Emperor, with corresponding Emperor Dao Laws. They all attacked, blasting toward the Emperor Cauldron in the sky, seeking to shatter it and break open the Emperor Dao restrictions here.
Boom—
At the same time, the Dan Emperor Cauldron, which was propping open the Emperor's Gate far away at the Immortal Heavenly Pass, trembled. It suddenly erupted with billions of zhang of divine radiance, like the most blazing, glorious sun. Then, with a loud boom, it tore through the void and arrived, completely merging into the Emperor Cauldron, the two becoming one.
Boom—
The most terrifying Emperor's Might permeated the air, as if the true Alchemy Emperor had returned in defiance of heaven. The Dan Emperor Cauldron revived to its fullest extent. The Emperor Dao Laws belonging to the Alchemy Emperor surged forth completely, manifesting the power of the Great Perfection Emperor realm. Even the five Emperor Shadows could not match it.
"Eons have passed; what has faded shall ultimately be destroyed!"
A voice appeared out of thin air, carrying the weight of endless years and peerless majesty.
