"I've also seen it now!
This fellow actually emerged with intelligence born from the corpse of a Great Emperor!
Strictly speaking, he isn't a Great Emperor, but he possesses some legacy left behind by the Great Emperor's corpse!" Hun Lao said with a voice full of shock.
When ordinary living beings in the world die, the vitality of their physical bodies is extinguished. However, a Heavenly Emperor is different. A Heavenly Emperor's body has been tempered a thousand times over and contains boundless, endless vitality. Even after falling, the vitality within cannot be wiped out.
The youngster before their eyes was new intelligence born from the residual vitality remaining within the corpse of a Heavenly Emperor.
This situation followed the same principle as desiccated wood greeting spring and bursting forth with renewed vitality.
In the world, there are many pieces of dead, rotten wood that have a chance to sprout new buds and even grow once more into a great tree.
Of course, the new buds sprouting from the dry wood are no longer the original great tree, yet through countless connections, they represent a continuation of the original tree's life.
"Yes."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
In reality, this youngster's situation bore some similarity to Ye Yunfei's own.
Ye Yunfei was the reincarnation of a remnant wisp of a Heavenly Emperor's soul, while the youngster before him was intelligence born upon the corpse of a Great Emperor.
Neither of them were true Heavenly Emperors, yet both were part of a Heavenly Emperor!
The difference lay in the fact that Ye Yunfei was a complete living entity, while this youngster was merely an intelligence!
This youngster currently lacked a true flesh-and-blood body.
"Look!
He's absorbing flesh and blood!"
Suddenly, a powerful expert exclaimed in a low voice.
Everyone's gaze shifted over, and they were shocked to discover that strands of flesh and blood were converging towards that youngster, then being absorbed into his body.
This flesh and blood came from those Gan Family experts he had just killed.
"What's going on? How can a Great Emperor be absorbing flesh and blood?
Could it be because he just revived, he needs this flesh and blood to replenish his energy?"
Everyone felt a bit of panic.
By this time, many experts had already retreated to the edge of the platform, preparing to descend the steps.
"Ah, the feeling of being alive is truly wonderful!"
The youngster spoke comfortably as he absorbed the flesh and blood, looking extremely pleased.
"Run, quickly!"
Someone was terrified to the bone and cried out.
"This is my place of quiet cultivation. For you to shout and make noise here is extremely impolite."
The youngster seemed somewhat displeased.
Boom!
With lightning speed, his hand shot out towards the person who had cried out. An ancient, weathered aura of energy, along with wisps of profound laws, emanated from his palm.
The man fled desperately in terror.
But the youngster's palm instantly pierced through space and time, abruptly appearing above his head, leaving him no time to escape.
Boom!
Boundless, endless energy poured down from that palm, suppressing the man until he couldn't move a muscle.
"Let go!"
An old man garbed in a white robe roared loudly. A long sword shot out from the crown of his head, entwined by a golden dragon, and sped towards the youngster's palm to intercept it.
This old man was the State Preceptor of the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Kingdom!
This sword was the treasure that safeguarded the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Kingdom!
The golden dragon coiled around the sword roared as it slammed into the youngster's palm, actually forcing the youngster's hand to recoil some distance.
"Escape, quickly!"
The State Preceptor of the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Kingdom was overjoyed and shouted to the man who had just been suppressed by the youngster.
The man felt the pressure on his body greatly lessen and immediately used his movement technique to flee for dear life.
"Everyone, did you see that! This guy is not undefeatable!
If we join forces to deal with him together, we might just be able to defeat him!"
Seeing this scene, the Grand Supreme Elder of Cangyan Sacred Sect felt a flicker of thought and immediately sent a sound transmission to the other experts.
"He shouldn't be a Great Emperor!
If he were truly a Great Emperor, he wouldn't need to lift a hand. A mere thought from him would prevent any of us from escaping."
At this moment, Yang Song also realized that the youngster's strength didn't seem as formidable as imagined.
The reason he had easily killed those experts earlier was mainly because everyone was too terrified of him, not daring to mount any effective resistance!
"That's right! Legend says that a true Great Emperor can easily command all the laws between heaven and earth.
Given our strength, we wouldn't even have the qualification to escape before a Great Emperor!"
The other experts also gradually realized that this youngster did not seem like a Great Emperor.
Consequently, they all slowed their steps.
"Everyone, let's attack together!
If he truly is a Great Emperor, then escaping is impossible for us.
If he is not a Great Emperor, with so many of us, we have nothing to fear!"
The Grand Supreme Elder of Cangyan Sacred Sect gritted his teeth and spoke to the other experts.
"Indeed! We shouldn't fear him!"
All those who came here were top-ranked experts from the Eastern Barrens, each proud and arrogant. Earlier, they had mainly been frightened by the two words 'Great Emperor,' but now, discovering that this youngster most likely wasn't one, their courage returned.
Boom!
The Grand Supreme Elder of Cangyan Sacred Sect, the Sovereign of the Beast Taming Sect, the State Preceptor of the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Kingdom, the Second Realm Lord of the Sword Realm, and other Eastern Barrens experts all summoned their magical treasures, launching attacks towards the youngster.
Seeing others take action, the rest joined in, each summoning treasures or unleashing various ultimate killing moves to attack the youngster.
The Primordial Heterogeneous Race and the Flying Sky Yin Monkeys also took action.
For a moment, terrifying attacks, densely packed, surged towards the youngster.
"I am a Great Emperor! You dare to attack me! Do you truly have no fear of death!"
The youngster flew into a rage.
He saw the youngster bring both hands together to form a strange hand seal, which he then fiercely imprinted into the high platform beneath his feet.
Boom!
The entire high platform began to shake violently. Then, boundless, endless energy pressure descended from the sky, as if innumerable invisible divine mountains were smashing down onto everyone's bodies, making it difficult for many to move.
"He's using the restriction pressure here to deal with us.
He really isn't a Great Emperor!
If he were truly a Great Emperor, he wouldn't need to rely on other energy to deal with us."
Yang Song shouted.
"Yes!
This guy definitely isn't a Great Emperor!"
Hearing Yang Song's words, the others grew even more certain that this youngster before them was not a Great Emperor.
"Annihilate him!
Then take the treasures and opportunities inside the Nine-Life Immortal Coffin!"
Everyone's courage swelled further, each one yelling.
Even the three Gan Family experts who had fled earlier now returned.
"You bastard! You killed people from my Gan Family! Repay blood with blood!"
That Gan Family Elder roared as he attacked the youngster.
Earlier, three Gan Family experts had been killed by the youngster. These three were among the Gan Family's top-ranked experts, each renowned throughout the Eastern Barrens. Their deaths represented a heavy loss for the Gan Family.
Moreover, the Gan Family had also lost an Extreme Dao treasure!
"Even if he's not a Great Emperor, this is his territory. His corpse is also here, along with the restriction pressure laid down during his life. Wanting to kill him here is too difficult."
Seeing the scene before him, Ye Yunfei shook his head and chuckled coldly.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei also sent a sound transmission to Lü Yugang, Heavenly Thunder Chan Master, and Tiansha Chan Master, telling them not to attack and to step aside.
Because it would be completely useless.
"If we want to deal with him here, perhaps there is only one method—starting with his corpse."
Hun Lao suddenly sent a sound transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"The corpse of a Great Emperor? With our strength, we cannot even get close. How would we go about it?"
Ye Yunfei was taken aback.
"Don't forget, we have the Heavenly Dao Tower.
The Heavenly Dao Tower is a treasure personally forged by the Guhuang Great Emperor. In the old days, to forge this Heavenly Dao Tower, I accompanied the Guhuang Great Emperor as we traveled across the entire 3,000 Major Worlds, collecting all the top-tier forging materials in the world. It took us several centuries of painstaking effort to finally forge it.
Moreover, the Heavenly Dao Tower contains a portion of the might left behind by the Guhuang Great Emperor."
Hun Lao chuckled.
"But wouldn't summoning the Heavenly Dao Tower expose our aura?"
Ye Yunfei frowned.
"I think we don't need to fear.
There is a Great Emperor's corpse here. If we act quickly and discreetly, afterwards, even if those divination masters try to deduce what happened, they'll only pay attention to the Great Emperor's corpse inside the Nine-Life Immortal Coffin.
It's likely no one would ever imagine that auras from two Great Emperors would appear here."
Hun Lao replied.
"Alright, then let's try it.
I also want to see what exactly is inside this so-called Nine-Life Immortal Coffin."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment, feeling Hun Lao's words made sense, and nodded in agreement.
