"Sacrificially offering a Supreme One would be enough to resolve all of this."
The Golden Crow Great Emperor's words were loud and clear, yet everyone felt despair once more.
A Supreme One—that referred to existences like Emperors, Supreme Immortals, and other paramount beings.
How many among those who could stand in this realm were weak? They were all peak-level figures, and throughout the ages, how many such individuals had there been?
Sacrificially offering a Supreme One was simply impossible!
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body stepped forward, resolutely stating, "Senior, I am willing to serve as the sacrificial offering. I possess an Emperor-level physical body, Emperor-level origin, and an origin Emperor world. Even if I cannot compare to a true Supreme One, I should be worth at least half of one."
Everyone looked at him with solemn respect. No one had expected the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body to step forward voluntarily at this moment.
Those around him gasped in surprise, their eyes turning to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen shook his head slightly. "If it can resolve this catastrophe, even without the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, our Battle Saint lineage still has Ancestor Wuxiang and Ancestor Wushi. They would suffice."
Sovereign of Formlessness, Worldless Emperor Lord, and the Golden Crow Great Emperor all regarded Ye Chen with a bit more esteem. Being willing to sacrifice his most powerful Dao body in such a situation demonstrated immense perseverance, earning their silent praise.
However, the Golden Crow Great Emperor said, "Although you possess some qualification, it is not yet time to require your sacrifice. There is another suitable candidate."
"Indeed, there has long been a chosen Supreme One for the sacrificial offering."
Sovereign of Formlessness also spoke, and in unison with the Golden Crow Great Emperor and Worldless Emperor Lord, their gazes fell upon the Emperor Soul of the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor.
The Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's expression changed, immediately understanding their intent. Cursing inwardly, he wasted no words and directly charged toward the fissure.
"Trying to flee? Too late!"
Sovereign of Formlessness, Worldless Emperor Lord, and the Golden Crow Great Emperor—three mighty experts—took action. Although the process was somewhat difficult, the outcome was unchangeable.
With a single strike of his Heaven-Shaking Hand, Sovereign of Formlessness suppressed the heavens, sent the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's soul flying, and extinguished a significant portion of its demonic light.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor employed an Emperor technique, channeling boundless heavenly sun Emperor light to incinerate the Demon Emperor's soul.
Worldless Emperor Lord, wielding a spiked club, delivered a heavy blow.
The combined assault of the three was nearly enough to sweep away all enemies in the world. Even the Emperor Soul of the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor was no exception. Severely wounded, it was swiftly suppressed.
"Take action! Use the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's soul for the sacrificial offering to completely repel the five Ancient Emperors of the Chaos Burial Ground and close the Resolution Grand Array!"
Sovereign of Formlessness spoke gravely. He opened his mouth and spat out a stream of origin sacred fire that engulfed the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's massive Emperor Soul. Carrying the uniquely overbearing Dao fire of the Sacred Body, it directly ignited the Emperor Soul's form.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor also spat out a stream of origin Emperor fire, similarly setting it ablaze.
Worldless Emperor Lord did the same.
The origin fires of the three were astonishing, especially those of Sovereign of Formlessness and the Golden Crow Great Emperor, which were Supreme-level Dao fires. They burned the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's soul, causing it to let out a piercing shriek.
"Sacrificial Offering of a Supreme One, repel the five Ancient Emperors!"
Boom—
The three supreme powerors jointly struck, burying the burning, sacrificially offered soul of the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor into the fissure of the sealing grand array.
"Ah—I am an Ancient Emperor of an era! I cannot accept this!"
The Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's soul roared, emitting a cry of unwillingness.
Boom—
The most terrifying fluctuations erupted within the fissure. The horrifying self-destruction power of a Supreme One could tear through time, split past and present—unimaginable.
Had it not been for the intervention of the three mighty experts, the spacetime of the five imperial tombs would have been completely shattered.
Boom, rumble—
The destructive fluctuations of the Supreme One within the fissure lingered, occasionally surging violently. The entire Sealing Grand Array and Resolution Grand Array trembled incessantly.
Simultaneously, the Golden Crow Great Emperor let out a long roar. His entire body ignited, and a colossal, boundless Golden Crow manifested, resonating with the ten Supreme Heavenly Suns in the sky. It drew down boundless, blazing light—Supreme might was channeled, suppressing the Resolution Grand Array and allowing the Sealing Grand Array to revive once more. One Supreme inscription after another gradually began to glow, starting to repair the fissure.
"Is it finally coming to an end?"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, they had even sacrificially offered the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's soul to bury it within, finally blocking everything.
The experts from the Chaos Burial Ground side wore grim expressions, for they were in peril. If the Chaos Burial Ground failed to break the seal, they would undoubtedly perish.
"Thinking of closing the Sealing Grand Array just like that? Dream on!"
Yet at this moment, a cold snort emanated from the slowly healing fissure, carrying endless chill.
As the destructive light gradually dissipated, five figures remained standing.
Though battered and bruised, with some even having incomplete imperial bodies and suffering terrible wounds, they remained unextinguished, still standing within the fissure. Their bodies radiated boundless Supreme might, each manifesting immense Dharma forms that propped up the entire fissure, preventing it from closing.
The experts of the myriad heavens paled drastically. Even after sacrificially offering a Supreme One, they still couldn't close the entire Sealing Grand Array and repel the five Ancient Emperors?
Before the fissure, Sovereign of Formlessness stood tall with his majestic physique, his expression grave as he slowly said, "We underestimated the Chaos Burial Ground. Even with such measures, we still cannot repel them."
"Hahaha, with just the few of you? Even in the previous era, when our Chaos Burial Ground's Ancient Emperors were not fully revived, your ten Supreme Ones, led by the strongest Emperor Qin Shi Huang, still paid a heavy price to seal our Chaos Burial Ground. How much more so now?"
The five Ancient Emperors laughed coldly, their laughter blooming amidst blood flowers—ruthless and indifferent, causing the hearts of the myriad heavens' experts to sink.
Indeed, in the previous era, ten Supreme Ones took action, led by the strongest Emperor Qin Shi Huang, yet they still paid such a heavy price. Now, wanting to seal the Chaos Burial Ground again was far from as simple as imagined.
Moreover, under the influence of the five Ancient Emperors' auras from the Chaos Burial Ground, the Resolution Grand Array began operating once more. The five imperial tombs sizzled and burned, vast streams of imperial Dao power pouring into it, causing the Resolution Grand Array to continuously reverse the Sealing Grand Array. The Supreme light of the Sealing Grand Array, which had just begun to revive, dimmed once again.
Sovereign of Formlessness said gravely, "Wushi, do your utmost to isolate the Resolution Grand Array, minimizing its resolving power."
"Understood!"
Worldless Emperor Lord obeyed the order. With a swoosh, he charged over to the front of the Resolution Grand Array. Radiating the golden light of the Battle Saint lineage, he continuously attacked, striking the Resolution Grand Array. However, the effect was limited, as this was the fully revived Resolution Grand Array fueled by the burning of the five imperial tombs.
On the other side, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body also went over, yet the effect was still insufficient.
It was fundamentally difficult to separate them.
Seeing this scene, Sovereign of Formlessness turned to the Golden Crow Great Emperor with a solemn expression. "Fellow Daoist, please hold them off for a moment. I will go isolate the Resolution Grand Array!"
"Agreed!"
The Golden Crow Great Emperor readily agreed, positioning himself before the fissure. He channeled the might of the ten Supreme Heavenly Suns, pouring it down continuously—especially from his own Golden Crow Heavenly Sun. Endless golden flames cascaded down, flooding the area below.
