Chapter 464: 【Void, you are not dead either】 (First update)

Deep in the starry sky, there was a massive fleet of ships. Each one was incomparably magnificent, spanning the heavens, dense and overwhelming, as if it had condensed the essence of an entire era of the Eternal Star.

The craftsmen from the Eternal Star trembled at the sight, bowing and kowtowing one after another; these were their ancestors from one hundred thousand years ago.

Among them, four giant ships were fully twenty thousand zhang long. They were Great Sage-level warships, absolutely capable of sweeping through any star field. Compared to them, the Tianhe warships that they had collaborated with the Heavenly Court and the Ji family to renovate were like mere cubs.

Even in the dark universe, this scene was extremely glorious—a brilliant spark of civilization.

However, in the eyes of the Ancient Emperors, what were Great Sages? Nothing more than a group of ants. Whatever warships they had were just scrap metal. What the Emperors truly cared about was the Divine Spirit Coffin in the middle of the fleet.

The Void Emperor Coffin was built of unknown material; it seemed like gold yet not gold, stone yet not stone, wood yet not wood. It was ancient and vicissitudinous, remaining immortal after over one hundred thousand years of time. Compared to the warships, it was small, yet it possessed a terrifying aura, becoming the protagonist of the world.

"Void fought a bloody battle in the starry sky back then; he is a person worthy of respect."

The Lord of Taichu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "But dead is dead after all. This is only his Emperor Coffin; there is no need to panic."

In the Desolate Ancient era, the lifetime of the Void Great Emperor was the most restless. He gave the most, until his blood ran dry and he died in battle outside the domain, leaving an indelible impression on the seven Life Forbidden Zones.

Even the Forbidden Zone Supremes admitted he was remarkable and worthy of worship by all living beings. But precisely because of this, the Void Great Emperor had absolutely no vitality; there was absolutely no possibility of him surviving.

Because he had used his life to protect that era.

"Indeed."

The Golden Ancient Emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief and praised, "Other Great Emperors might have a chance to survive, but only the Void Great Emperor could not."

The Void Great Emperor had the Undying Medicine but only lived for one lifetime. His Dao wounds were truly too heavy, and his opponents were truly too many, to the point that in his later years, he had no time to think about the problem of becoming an immortal; all his thoughts were placed on dealing with the Dark Turmoil.

"It is a pity for such a peerless hero to lose his life for the sake of ants."

The Corpse Emperor shook his head and stepped through the universe, heading toward the Divine Spirit Coffin. Respect was respect, but when it came time to actually take action, the Forbidden Zone Supremes would not have the slightest bit of mercy.

The other Emperors were also moved, wanting to explore the Void Emperor Coffin. If there happened to be residual Void Emperor blood inside, then they would have made a huge profit.

The essence blood of an intact Great Emperor could absolutely extend the life of a Forbidden Zone Supreme.

This was also the reason why there were human tribulations when past Enlightened Ones underwent their heavenly tribulations; they had to compete not only with Heaven for their position but also with the Forbidden Zones for their lives.

If they could survive, the new Emperor would naturally settle scores with the Forbidden Zones. When they reached their later years and had no hope of becoming immortal, they would flee into the Forbidden Zones. At this time, the former new Emperor would become a Supreme, taking action against the Great Emperor of the next era.

This was the truth of the great universe, a despairing dark reincarnation. It was not just the common people; the contemporary Great Emperors and the Forbidden Zone Supremes were all caught within it, acting out the historical cyclical law.

"Once opened the Nine-Layer Emperor Coffin, triggering the Emperor's Malice, so all were annihilated."

The Corpse Emperor whispered, without the slightest fear. The Emperor's Malice was thorny for other Supremes, but for him, it was no different from the best tonic.

He took action decisively, uncovering the Divine Spirit Coffin layer by layer, and the Emperor's Malice was absorbed by him.

Just as the Corpse Emperor was preparing to open the Nine-Layer Emperor Coffin, the Void Great Emperor's coffin suddenly trembled violently, and an anomaly occurred. The endless Void Dao circulated; it was the trace of that person from back then.

"Void!" The Corpse Emperor trembled violently, throwing the Divine Spirit Coffin in his hand away, not daring to have any hesitation.

The impression the Void Great Emperor left on them back then was too profound. Although his conduct was upright and worthy of worship by all living beings and respect from the Emperors, his methods were not ordinarily insidious.

The Void Dao, mastering the ultimate of space, was most suitable for dragging, assassinating, and setting up arrays.

Designing Emperor Arrays and luring Supremes into the trap—the Void Great Emperor did not know how many times he had done such things.

"Impossible, Void is absolutely dead!"

The Kunpeng Supreme let out a strange cry, his eyes full of disbelief. He retreated violently, relying on his extreme speed to put the other Emperors in front of him.

"The two fellow Daoists of the Undying Mountain went to intercept him. Afterwards, the two fellow Daoists did not appear, and Void did not return either."

The Lord of Taichu frowned, also very nervous, and muttered, "It should have been mutual destruction."

"Could it be... that none of the three of them died and have been fighting until now?" The Golden Ancient Emperor felt cold all over, discovering that besides the Void Dao, there were two other Emperor Daos.

The Void Great Emperor feigned death in his later years, burying himself in the Divine Spirit Coffin, calculating against his opponents, fishing for them, tricking the two Supremes of the Undying Mountain into entering the Emperor Coffin, and taking them along on the road together.

There was not just one Emperor in the Emperor Coffin, but three!

"Impossible, in this world, besides the Life Forbidden Zones, there is no place that allows an Ancient Emperor to exist for long."

The Qilin Ancient Emperor shook his head, narrowed his eyes, and said, "It should be that we came and triggered Void's backup plan. The Emperor War from over one hundred thousand years ago has come to an end today."

After the Emperors calmed their nerves, they nodded in agreement, revealing a look of relief. Time was the most powerful force in the great universe; no one could live for over one hundred thousand years.

They had lost their footing earlier because the pressure Void gave them was truly too great.

Other human Great Emperors killing one or two Supremes could still be called luck, but Void had killed too many Supremes; he had killed until it became a habit, researching techniques specifically to deal with Supremes. He really could annihilate them.

"Crack."

Without wind, it moved. The Void Great Emperor's Nine-Layer Coffin, the final layer, suddenly opened by itself!

In an instant, the expressions of the Emperors who were still chatting and laughing stiffened. The aura of an Ancient Great Emperor permeated the void; only they, and those holding Emperor weapons, could stand.

"Mirror, come!"

Inside the Emperor Coffin, a thick voice sounded, echoing above the nine heavens, shocking the Emperors.

Boom—the star fields in all directions trembled, the Myriad Daos followed, and countless anomalies appeared one after another.

The Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's eyes shot out a divine light, echoing with the Void Dao from before the ages, giving birth to billions of immortal lights. The Void Mirror in Lin Xian's arms felt it, revived on its own, and flew out.

The Void Mirror's spirit emitted a ringing sound, both excited and sorrowful. After ages, it saw Void again.

In an instant, the radiance shone through the ages, reigning over the starry sky!

"Void Great Emperor!!!"

On the main Tianhe warship, the accompanying Heavenly Court Lord Ye Fan could not help but ask Shakyamuni, "Buddha, shouldn't the Yellow Emperor be chasing after the Lingbao Heavenly Venerate's Heavenly Venerate weapon?"

"Why is he inside this coffin?"

"Void's lifetime was too bitter." Shakyamuni sighed, shook his head, and told the truth, "Even if Xuanyuan has stepped into the Quasi-Emperor realm again, he still has Dao wounds in his body."

The four Quasi-Emperor Supremes of Earth each had different situations. Among them, Hengyu and Laozi were both proper Emperor corpses gaining sentience, with far-reaching layouts, burying themselves on the Primordial Ancient Star and forming reincarnation imprints. Shakyamuni was relatively special, being one of the reincarnations of Amitabha Buddha, a similar flower.

It could be said that the three of them were all voluntary reincarnations, trying every possible way to become immortal. Only Void was not; he truly died in battle, perishing together with two Supremes, paying a huge price.

Originally, when a person died, that was the end of it; no matter how great the injury, it could not harm a dead person.

But, perhaps even Heaven could not bear to see the Void Great Emperor have such an ending, giving him a glimmer of life.

After a long period of time, the Void Emperor Coffin accidentally fell to Earth, and the Yellow Emperor also gained sentience from the Emperor corpse in the coffin.

Void's Emperor body had great trauma. Although it produced spiritual consciousness and was a brand new person, the body remained the same. The Dao wounds left behind from the bloody battles across the eight wildernesses in the past were still there, needing the Divine Spirit Ancient Coffin to suppress and nourish, and even needing the essence blood of old enemies to baptize the physical body.

Therefore, after retrieving the Lingbao Killing Sword, the Yellow Emperor immediately returned to the Divine Spirit Coffin to seclude himself, otherwise, his Dao would collapse.

"After two lifetimes, the Dao wounds remain."

Ye Fan's expression moved. He was also a person who had suffered Dao wounds and knew very well how terrifying they were. How tragic must it have been back then to leave behind such terrifying Dao wounds?

He had the most battles among the Great Emperors, faced the most enemies, and paid the greatest price!

The human prosperity that appeared later had a great deal to do with his foundation. When he was alive, he beat his enemies until they were cold, and his enemies did not dare to fight to the end against the human Great Emperors of later generations.

"Respect to Void, pay respects to the Human Great Emperor!"

Lin Xian took the lead, bowing deeply toward the direction of the Emperor Coffin and the blurry figure. He led everyone on the Tianhe Water Fleet to pay respects to the Human Ancestor.

"Pay respects to Xuanyuan Human Ancestor."

Ye Fan also bowed. Although he was now the Lord of the Heavenly Court, he was still of human blood, a descendant of Yan and Huang.

This respect had nothing to do with cultivation base.

"The God who saved the world, the Void Divine Spirit!"

Not just Beidou, even the people of the Eternal Star Domain were grateful for the name of Void.

The craftsmen of the Canghai tribe bowed with extreme piety. Their ancestors had left behind ancient books recording the name of Void.

Back then, the Dark Turmoil swept through more than just the Beidou region. The Void Great Emperor saved the entire universe and also left behind endless legends and myths on the Eternal Star.

One after another, thoughts were added, causing the chaotic mist to dissipate, and the person in the Emperor Coffin revealed their face.

The Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor walked out from the Divine Spirit Coffin. He looked very ordinary, without a single surprising point, not heroic, but he possessed a temperament that made people feel at ease.

It was as if as long as he was there, the universe would be at peace, and the human race would be calm.

"Void, you are not dead either."

Several Ancient Emperors of the Taichu Ancient Mine shouted out, and then subconsciously retreated a step together.

This was not fear; they were all Enlightened Ones, who would be afraid of whom? Their retreat was an instinctive avoidance.

Even Amitabha Buddha holding the Bronze Immortal Palace did not make them change color like this.

Only the Void Great Emperor had such influence, a glorious battle record killed out with blood.

He killed until the Supremes were unwilling to fight him head-on, killed until after ages had passed, seeing this face, the Emperors all felt their hearts tremble.

"Fellow Daoist, you have recognized the wrong person; I am the Yellow Emperor."

The Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor said indifferently. The Void Mirror in his hand, however, was unfathomable, returning to its master's hand, allowing it to go up another level, flowing with wisps of chaotic immortal energy, as if it were about to bloom with immortal Dao laws.

"This weapon!"

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor, who had been silent, was shocked. He did not look at the Yellow Emperor but focused all his attention on the changes in the Void Immortal Mirror.
