The Eternal Path was not a true ancient road, but a unique term representing the hope of transcendence for those who set foot upon it.
Once a powerhouse successfully stepped onto the Eternal Path, they possessed combat power far surpassing others of the same rank.
Even a Supreme Genius who had reached the Great Perfection within the same rank was far inferior in this regard.
Of course, becoming an Eternal Emperor, while easier than becoming an Eternal Quasi-Monarch, was only relatively so. Throughout the ages, they remained few and far between.
In the previous epoch, Wuxiang Junwang was hailed as the Number One under the Supreme Ones precisely because he was an Eternal Emperor.
That was, of course, during the twilight of the Mythical Epoch.
In fact, an epoch often gave birth to several Eternal Emperors. Barring accidents, they would at least become Supreme Ones, with a significant possibility of even becoming the strongest Emperors or Immortal Kings.
The most ancient texts contained relevant records.
"Eternal Emperor..."
On the other side, after Ye Chen received this information, he hadn't realized that anything tainted with the word 'Eternal' meant even an Emperor possessed world-shaking capabilities, capable of sweeping aside other Emperors and even battling Supreme Ones.
However, considering his own status as an Eternal Quasi-Monarch—not only able to battle Ancient Monarchs but even rivaling Sixth Heaven Monarchs with various means—wasn't that precisely proof of how extraordinarily powerful those who stepped onto the Eternal Path were?
"Since you have all made your move today, very well. Today, I shall round you all up in one fell swoop!"
The Taichu Emperor's divine might shook the world. At this moment, he strode forward, walking with peerless pride. His entire being shed a layer of resplendent Primordial Light, proclaiming his uniqueness between heaven and earth.
"Primordial Divides Heaven and Earth!"
With just one divine ability, the Primordial Light transformed into a Heaven and Earth Divine Sword. It swept horizontally, cleanly bisecting the Emperor with the jade-green sharp horns, splitting him into two halves.
The Taichu Emperor's combat power suppressed past and present, causing the world to tremble in fear and making even other Emperors' scalps tingle.
With just a single strike, he had bisected an Emperor.
Such combat power was simply horrifying.
The other Emperors dared not be careless. They swiftly stepped forward to protect the bisected Emperor, buying him precious time to swallow a peerless elixir and recover from his injuries.
Because the Taichu Emperor's strike contained a special power; even for an Emperor, rejoining the two halves of his body was quite difficult.
The Taichu Emperor was in no hurry. He strode forward, advancing slowly yet powerfully.
Though he didn't truly attack, he gave the Ten Emperors a terrifying sense of oppression, like Mount Tai bearing down upon them!
Furthermore, one Emperor saw through the Taichu Emperor's current state and said, "Everyone, do not panic too much. Although the Taichu Emperor is powerful, it is impossible for him to instantly kill us. Whether dealing with Hunyue Emperor or Bishentian Emperor, he must have utilized his peak combat power; otherwise, he couldn't have achieved this."
Indeed, this was the case. The Taichu Emperor had just been interrupted at the most critical moment of proving his Dao to become a Supreme One, falling back into the Emperor realm. To some extent, he had suffered severe Dao injuries and could not fully unleash the peak combat power of such an Eternal Emperor.
Hearing this, the other nine Emperors also nodded, finding this reasoning sound. Their wariness towards the Taichu Emperor diminished slightly.
They all knew that if the Taichu Emperor remained in this peak combat state, it would undoubtedly be very unfavorable for himself. He couldn't sustain it for long, and he would likely pay a certain price afterward.
"So what if it is?"
The Taichu Emperor spoke coldly, step by step drawing nearer. His matchless imposing manner gave off an irresistible sense of oppression, even more terrifying than a divine mountain bearing down, causing the figures of the Ten Emperors to stiffen slightly.
"But it is enough to kill you all!"
His words radiated boundless arrogance!
This was the arrogance of an Eternal Emperor, daring to challenge Ancient Great Emperors, let alone mere Emperors. He was even more confident he could suppress them with sheer force!
"Bishentian, you unleash soul attacks! I'll withstand him physically! The rest of you, attack from the flanks!"
Hunyue Emperor, who had expended his origin to barely reform his heart, roared. He manifested his true form—a Chaos Primordial Divine Mountain of unimaginable height and majesty appeared, comparable to a great world, suffused with blazing chaotic light. Like an immensely massive Dao Soldier artifact, it fiercely slammed towards the Taichu Emperor!
This strike was one even an Emperor wouldn't dare face lightly.
On the other side, Bishentian Emperor unleashed his most terrifying soul attack. Together with Hunyue Emperor, they attacked simultaneously, each employing their most proficient assaults.
One had to admit that the combined power of their respective specialized attacks increased by a full level.
The other eight Emperors maneuvered from the flanks, attacking the Taichu Emperor.
These Ten Emperors were each peerless, earth-shaking figures. On ordinary days, within the Supreme Domains, they were existences second only to Supreme Ones. They could look down upon all heavens, roam the Origin Ancient Path, and find few rivals.
Such individuals almost never joined forces, as each was a transcendent being capable of proving the Dao to become a Supreme One. Even when they earlier charged into the Emperor Tribulation to attack the light cocoon, it was merely a slight collaboration.
Now, however, they were fully united—an almost unimaginable event, unprecedented. Even facing a true Supreme One, they believed their combined strength could put up a fight. Absolutely capable of slaying gods if gods blocked them, slaying Buddhas if Buddhas stood in their way!
The Taichu Emperor's figure did not retreat. He said coldly, "Do you truly believe that joining forces, ten of you, can kill me? Even if my elder brother Wuxiang were here today, you still couldn't kill him."
His figure suddenly moved, fiercely crashing towards Hunyue Emperor's manifested true form, colliding violently with that Chaos Primordial Divine Mountain.
Boom—
Visible to the naked eye, boundless radiance exploded, billions of Great Dao runes scattered. That immensely majestic Chaos Primordial Divine Mountain was directly sent flying, shaking violently as if about to be smashed apart by the impact.
In a head-on collision, Hunyue Emperor was still utterly defeated!
Simultaneously, a war sword flew out from between the Taichu Emperor's brows—a war sword condensed purely from divine soul power.
But the moment this sword appeared, Bishentian Emperor's expression changed drastically.
Whoosh—
The divine sense war sword cleaved down, directly severing Bishentian Emperor's divine sense attack cleanly in two.
Bishentian Emperor let out a miserable scream, his entire person collapsing, nearly falling unconscious.
In the blink of an eye, the two who bore the brunt—Hunyue Emperor and Bishentian Emperor—were either sent flying or severely wounded, while the Taichu Emperor remained unscathed.
His power exceeded everyone's imagination. Wherever he passed, the void was annihilated, heaven and earth were annihilated; nothing could block him.
Swish—
Not long after, the Taichu Emperor appeared before the Emperor with the scaled tail. He raised his hand and threw a punch, directly aiming for this Emperor's head.
This Emperor's expression turned ashen. The moment the Taichu Emperor appeared before him, he sensed immense danger descending, feeling his hair stand on end, every strand bristling. He turned and retreated immediately.
