That was a battle that surpassed the level of Ancient Sovereigns, a clash at the most peak level between Supreme Ones.
Due to a single exchange that shook past and present, the Golden Crow Great Emperor and the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body were both forced back.
After a fierce battle lasting a day and a night, both the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body and the Golden Crow Great Emperor clearly showed signs of exhaustion, their power somewhat weakened as they continuously retreated, causing the hearts of all the powers across the heavens to clench.
In contrast, the side of the Chaos Burial Ground, which had been low in morale, erupted in cheers. Without a doubt, this greatly boosted their fighting spirit.
"Hahaha, the Heavenly Emperor will surely be victorious!"
On the Immortal Divine Altar, the light of faith suddenly blazed, illuminating all eras. The Heavenly Emperor slapped down with one hand, immediately causing the River of Time to manifest. Countless fragments of time danced forth, forcing both the Golden Crow Great Emperor and the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body to fly back.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor's mouth overflowed with even more blood. He sighed softly. In the end, he was merely an emperor soul; even with the most extraordinary methods, he could not reverse this situation.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body's entire form was covered in cracks, and the Imperial Dao foundation within his body had been depleted by a full tenth. This showed just how intense the battle here had become.
The Imperial Dao foundation was already limited. Now, after just one day, a tenth had been consumed. It must be said that this expenditure was enormous, and even the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body felt great heartache over it.
The Heavenly Emperor spoke coldly, "Golden Crow Great Emperor, just pass away. This time, pass away forever. Becoming a force to open the seal of the Chaos Burial Ground will be your honor, believe me."
The Heavenly Emperor attacked continuously, infinite Supreme power descending. Both the Golden Crow Great Emperor and the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body were on the verge of defeat.
Yet the Golden Crow Great Emperor appeared very composed, as if nothing could disturb the slightest ripple within him. While resisting the Heavenly Emperor, he suddenly looked towards the horizon and revealed a faint smile. "Fellow Daoist, you have finally come."
"Hmm?" The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body also looked in that direction.
Boom—
A deafening roar exploded. Boundless golden light instantly illuminated the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, flooding the space-time of the Five Emperor Tombs. An unparalleled Supreme pressure bloomed, piercing through past and present, causing everyone's blood to boil.
Even the Five Domain Masters, who were preparing to attack the various Emperor Clans, Immortal Clans, and others, revealed looks of shock when faced with this endless golden light. A tremor arose from the depths of their hearts, as if the newcomer was incomparably powerful, so powerful that even they, the Five Domain Masters, could not resist.
Sensing this surging, infinite golden light, Qin Wushuang revealed a look of pleasant surprise, unable to suppress his excitement. "The Ancient Ancestor has finally come!"
The powerhouses of the Qin Emperor Clan felt the same.
Visible to the naked eye, within the endless golden light, a burly and majestic figure walked forth. So towering and tall, he stood about fifteen feet high, robust and powerful. That peerless, world-shaking physique seemed to contain a might capable of exploding countless great worlds, astonishing and awe-inspiring.
Worldless Sovereign!
The true peerless sovereign, the invincible existence who had slain the Slaying the Heavens Demon Emperor. Now, he had finally appeared.
The Worldless Sovereign arrived, treading upon endless golden light, descending from the heavens to the space-time of the Five Emperor Tombs, so eternal.
On the Divine Altar, the Heavenly Emperor also changed color, showing shock. "An Emperor Lord... and a peerless Emperor Lord from the Battle Saint Lineage, surprisingly powerful."
The might of the Battle Saint Lineage was known to all within the Chaos Sea. Even the Chaos Burial Ground, a forbidden land sealed for several epochal eras, was aware. Who would have thought that now, a peerless Emperor Lord from the Battle Saint Lineage would appear.
The Heavenly Emperor was even more familiar with that kind of bloodline fluctuation, finding it deeply repulsive. "It's the bloodline fluctuation of the First Emperor of Qin, the Eternal Unifier. You are not only from the Battle Saint Lineage but also a descendant of the First Emperor of Qin. And why do I sense the aura of the Slaying the Heavens Demon Emperor?"
"Because I refined him!" The Worldless Sovereign spoke lightly, carrying a kind of peerless, matchless arrogance!
Now, the Worldless Sovereign had completely become a peerless Emperor Lord, his cultivation having increased tremendously. Perhaps it would be more accurate to call him the Worldless Emperor Lord.
His appearance brought hope to the countless forces across the heavens who had fallen into despair.
Boom—
The Worldless Emperor Lord made his move. A peerless Emperor Lord of the Battle Saint Lineage, his power was extraordinary, far beyond imagination. Especially after refining the Slaying the Heavens Demon Emperor's form, spirit, and all his Dao fruits, his cultivation had skyrocketed, becoming even more profound and unfathomable.
A holy fist blasted out. The golden light receded, replaced by a vivid, rainbow-like crimson—blood energy, blood energy returning to its most primal source.
Like the Human Origin Golden Body, when cultivated to its ultimate extreme, blood energy would revert to its most basic red. But often, it was precisely that kind of red that represented the Battle Saint Body reaching an ultimate level.
The space-time of the Five Emperor Tombs shook violently, and the Imperial Dao restraints shattered.
Immediately, the disadvantageous position of the Golden Crow Great Emperor and the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was completely resolved.
Even the Heavenly Emperor's palm withdrew. He stared gloomily at the newly arrived Worldless Emperor Lord.
The Heavenly Emperor's expression was dark, but he still snorted coldly. "So what if an Emperor Lord from the Battle Saint Lineage has appeared? He's not the Battle Saint Ancestor. Even if three of them attack, I will still suppress them!"
Infinite light of faith erupted. The Imperial Dao Supreme majesty suppressed past and present, even more formidable than before.
This power of faith diminished with each use, equivalent to foundational power. Even someone as powerful as the Heavenly Emperor was unwilling to overuse it, but now he had no choice but to employ it fully. The infinite heavenly might of a Great Perfection Imperial Dao Supreme One erupted completely.
The Heavenly Emperor fully displayed the invincible power of an Imperial Dao Supreme One. When the Imperial Dao emerges, who dares contend for glory?
"Is that so?"
The Worldless Emperor Lord snorted coldly, blood light soaring to the heavens. He was so majestic.
Although not yet a true Ancient Great Emperor, he had still stepped into the domain of an Emperor Lord, just like the Formless Sovereign of the past. Otherwise, how could the Formless Sovereign have suppressed and slain the two Emperor Lords and seven peerless sovereigns of the Alien Race when they invaded? It was precisely because he was also an Emperor Lord—a level between Sovereign and Great Emperor, named by taking one character from each major realm. It could also be called a Quasi-Emperor.
The appearance of an Emperor Lord, especially an Emperor Lord from the Battle Saint Lineage who had refined the Dao fruits of the Slaying the Heavens Demon Emperor and had been in seclusion for many years, had multiplied his cultivation many times over. He had become powerful to an extreme level, approaching the heights of the Formless Sovereign of yesteryear.
He became a new source of aid, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Golden Crow Great Emperor and the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. Even though not a true Great Emperor, he dared to engage in a peak battle with an Imperial Dao Supreme One, his blood energy like a prison, shaking the mortal world.
The Heavenly Emperor's expression changed slightly. He seemed to see a familiar shadow, as if that person had been resurrected to attack him.
The Heavenly Emperor roared, "Impossible! He is already dead, leaving only a holy skeleton behind. You will die too!"
Boom—
The Worldless Emperor Lord swung his immortal holy fist, unleashing Battle Saint techniques. His Dao methods were peerless, his Saint Body immortal. He charged towards the convergence point of the Five Emperor Tombs' space-time, joined by the Golden Crow Great Emperor and the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body. For the first time, they ascended, gradually reversing the disadvantage and beginning a counterattack.
This scene was something even the Heavenly Emperor had not necessarily anticipated.
Because of the Worldless Emperor Lord's sudden emergence, everything was reversed.
On the Immortal Divine Altar, the light of faith on the Heavenly Emperor's body dimmed many times over, no longer as before, burning intensely.
The Worldless Emperor Lord, the Golden Crow Great Emperor, and the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body charged forward. The Supreme battle was about to gain an absolute advantage.
More importantly, the Worldless Emperor Lord slapped the sealing grand formation. Ten thousand layers of radiance flashed, and everything began to reverse. The Five Emperor Tombs trembled, astonishing the world.
Now, the Worldless Emperor Lord truly possessed a kind of Supreme divine bearing, resembling a newly risen peerless Supreme One, with great hope of proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor in the future. Moreover, standing in the domain of an Emperor Lord, he was one who would achieve the Dao.
The Heavenly Emperor was also faltering. The light of faith was very dim. During this period, while it had been a drain on the Golden Crow Great Emperor and the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, had it not also been a drain on him?
"Kill him, eliminate the calamity of the Chaos Burial Ground!" The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body spoke ruthlessly, killing intent chilling.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor also nodded. "The only plan now is to kill the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Self Body to break the sealing grand formation."
"Good, the three of us will attack and suppress him!"
The world was shaken. The act of slaughtering an Imperial Dao Supreme One was about to occur, unprecedented, shaking past and present. Although it was not the true Heavenly Emperor, it was not inferior to an Imperial Dao Supreme One. And today, it was about to be suppressed and slain, causing the side of the Chaos Burial Ground to turn pale with fear.
Boom—
The three Supreme figures attacked, targeting the Heavenly Emperor. Infinite Supreme might erupted. With the three of them attacking, it was truly possible to slaughter the weakened Heavenly Emperor.
Just like when the Worldless Emperor Lord suppressed and slew the Slaying the Heavens Demon Emperor.
Yet the Heavenly Emperor showed not a trace of fear, nor any change in expression. On the contrary, he appeared very calm. He suddenly looked at the Worldless Emperor Lord and said, "At this point, aren't you going to come out?"
Suddenly, the Worldless Emperor Lord's majestic body trembled violently. For a peerless Emperor Lord like him, this was fundamentally impossible. Even if an entire starfield crashed down, it could not shake him in the slightest. But now, he was actually shaking violently, making it hard to believe.
What exactly had happened?
"Worldless Patriarch!"
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body urgently called out, but the next moment, his expression changed. Because the brilliant golden light on the Worldless Emperor Lord's body suddenly turned pitch black. Furthermore, strands of eerie demonic patterns gradually appeared, surfacing on his skin.
These pitch-black demonic patterns appeared incomparably complex, surpassing Ye Chen's current understanding.
Those deep eyes also gradually gained strands of dark light, as if possessed by a demon.
The brilliant golden light gradually darkened. His entire person underwent a tremendous transformation, no longer the Worldless Emperor Lord who suppressed the mortal world, but more like an evil demon Supreme One descending upon the world.
"Hehehehehe—"
A sinister, eerie laughter suddenly rang out, violently echoing within the space-time of the Five Emperor Tombs, rising up.
And this sinister, eerie voice was emanating from the Worldless Emperor Lord's body. Then, everyone felt their hair stand on end, experiencing a sense of disbelief.
