The Qing Gu Emperor roared, "No! Alchemy Emperor, you cannot do this!"
He struggled with all his might, even burning his essence to reclaim power approaching the Great Perfection of the Emperor realm. Yet, the Nine Cauldrons Diagram and several supreme Emperor's weapons all radiated light, as if the entire Primordial Chaos Ancient Universe was pressing down. Even a Great Emperor of his stature could not break free at this moment.
Everyone could only watch helplessly, awestruck by the Alchemy Emperor's unparalleled methods.
He actually intended to sacrifice the Qing Gu Emperor to reconnect an ancient path!
No—only now did the world understand. The reason the Qing Gu Emperor hadn't been completely annihilated back then was to await this very moment, to make him the primary ingredient for the sacrifice.
What a peerless Emperor, the Alchemy Emperor, whose vision spanned the ages! He had foreseen so profoundly, leaving behind such a grand scheme, utterly unafraid of the Qing Gu Emperor breaking free from his seal.
"Great Emperor!"
The alien race army naturally could not stand by and watch the Qing Gu Emperor fall. They all charged forward to rescue him, countless troops surging from behind.
But the Alchemy Emperor merely gave the Nine Cauldrons Emperor Diagram a gentle shake. Several supreme Emperor's weapons simultaneously erupted with supreme Emperor's might, annihilating everything. Over half of the alien army was directly obliterated into nothingness.
This outcome was only because, at the critical moment, the Five Emperors' supreme weapons had revived, unleashing waves of light screens to block the attack. Otherwise, all the alien powerhouses, including the five Primordial Monarchs, would have been exterminated.
The five alien Primordial Monarchs were horrified; the other powerhouses watched in shock.
One could only say that Emperor's might was truly peerless, something even Primordial Monarchs could never hope to withstand!
"Go now, Qing Gu. Your sacrifice will not be in vain!"
The Alchemy Emperor spoke. The Nine Cauldrons Emperor Diagram completely sealed the area, and the Zhen Di Peak once again became his prison, hurtling toward the passage within the Immortal Heavenly Pass. He murmured softly, "Nine Cauldrons unite, the Emperor's Path opens!"
Boom—
A brilliant passageway opened toward a mysterious place, with several supreme Emperor's weapons reviving to empower it.
The entire world was shaken. "Nine Cauldrons unite, the Emperor's Path opens"—this was what it truly meant.
It wasn't just about opening a passage to guide the Alchemy Emperor's battle soul back; it was also to reconnect the ancient path leading to the Origin Land.
It was a pity that everyone had misunderstood all along, thinking it was the final ancient path to becoming an Emperor or Sovereign.
Boom—
At that moment, the five supreme Emperor's weapons of the alien Primordial Monarchs all revived autonomously, shooting toward the starry fortress on the other side.
That was the Universe Passage connecting to the alien Ancient Universe. It had always restricted the descent of Emperors because the alien Emperors avoided forcibly arriving, lest it hasten the demise of the Qing Gu Emperor's remnant soul. But now, everything had changed. The Qing Gu Emperor was about to be sacrificed—something the alien race could absolutely not tolerate.
Emperor-level Supremes were the pinnacle existences within the entire alien Ancient Universe, the embodiment of their strongest combat power. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent the Five Emperors' essence blood and persistently attempted rescue all this time.
From that alien Ancient Universe Passage, boundless demonic light suddenly surged forth, accompanied by the most terrifying Emperor auras—not just one, but many. Faintly visible on the other side of the passage were massive figures, each no weaker than the Qing Gu Emperor, preparing to cross over.
The boundary they needed to cross was an entire Ancient Universe; they were truly about to emerge.
This scene made everyone's expressions change.
"You have overstepped. If you force your way through, you will all pay a heavy price!" The Alchemy Emperor spoke slowly, showing not a trace of fear.
"What does a sky-high price matter? We fear nothing and will shatter all obstacles!"
An indifferent snort came from within the alien Ancient Universe Passage. It belonged to a truly Great Perfection Emperor-realm alien Eternal Emperor, far more powerful than a remnant soul like the Qing Gu Emperor. Waves of world-destroying Emperor killing intent erupted, shooting toward the Alchemy Emperor. Wherever they passed, world after world was annihilated and shattered, countless living beings within vanishing along with them.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
While crossing over, they remotely controlled the five supreme Emperor's weapons, reviving them to their utmost limits to attack the Alchemy Emperor and, more importantly, rescue the Qing Gu Emperor, ensuring he would not be lost.
But with a mere thought from the Alchemy Emperor, the Tianhuang Great Halberd, the Flame Emperor Clan's Emperor's weapon, and the other two Emperor's weapons broke away, shooting toward this direction and colliding with the alien five Emperor's weapons, forcefully blocking them.
"Hmph!"
Yet, the five peerless alien Emperors were still crossing over. With each step they took, their Emperor's might grew many times more intense.
On the Emperor-Fall Battlefield, if not for the Alchemy Emperor's presence, all other living beings would have been obliterated countless times over—the same went for the several Primordial Monarchs.
All beneath the Emperor are but ants!
"Hmm?"
As if sensing the vast auras of the numerous Emperors in this realm, on the other side of the Emperor's Gate, one Emperor Dao aura after another began to circulate. Supreme existences there also saw the Emperor's Gate and witnessed the events here; brilliant gazes looked over from that distant world.
"Is that the Alchemy Emperor!?"
An Emperor from that vast heaven and earth spoke, revealing surprise and doubt upon seeing the Alchemy Emperor.
"Isn't the Alchemy Emperor in the deepest depths? Why would he appear here?" one Emperor Dao Supreme asked, filled with suspicion.
"I understand. It's not the true Alchemy Emperor—it's his Emperor battle soul," another Supreme Immortal said.
"Hmm, that is an Emperor-level battlefield. It's the alien Qing Gu Emperor, actually restrained. And there's a Universe Passage... Five alien Emperors actually intend to cross over from the Ancient Universe? Aren't they afraid of incurring immense karmic consequences?"
On that cosmic battlefield, one Emperor Dao Supreme after another sensed the events unfolding here, filled with astonishment.
"Fellow Daoists, please lend your aid. Block them. I need to focus fully on sacrificing Qing Gu to reconnect the ancient path and pierce through to the Origin!" The Alchemy Emperor's voice shook the Thirty-Three Heavens, startling the Emperors and Supreme Immortals on the other side. The Alchemy Emperor actually intended to sacrifice the Qing Gu Emperor!?
What a move that would shake the ages!
"Very well!"
A voice came from within the Emperor's Gate of the Immortal Heavenly Pass. There, one peerless Emperor silhouette after another began to manifest—Supreme Emperors, Supreme Immortals—all surging with terrifying Emperor and Immortal might. They rushed along the Immortal Heavenly Pass Emperor's Gate toward the alien Ancient Universe Passage to block it.
"You seek death! Do you wish to start a war with our Ancient Universe?"
The five alien Emperors roared, shaking past, present, and future as they glared at the Emperors and Supreme Immortals within the Heavenly Pass Emperor's Gate.
"If you want war, then bring it on!"
The Emperors and Supreme Immortals on that side showed no fear. If not for corresponding restrictions, they too would have crossed over.
At this moment, the Alchemy Emperor, using the Nine Cauldrons Emperor Diagram and Zhen Di Peak, completely suppressed the Qing Gu Emperor. He made the Alchemy Emperor Cauldron depart, then shook his entire body, causing the Qing Gu Emperor's vast Emperor form spanning millions of li to ignite. His entire body burned with Emperor Dao might, so terrifying it made past, present, and future tremble.
It seemed as if the River of Time had manifested. From past, present, and future, one world-shaking figure after another sensed this and looked over.
A feat that would shake the ages!
