Chapter 628: Corpse Immortal Emperor · Ye Fan

Above the Boundary Sea, time seemed to have completely frozen; all things were silent and soundless.

Unprecedentedly, five Quasi-Immortal Emperors were in the same space-time; it was absolutely a magnificent sight unseen throughout the ages.

At this moment, the super powerhouses of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Foreign Realm, and the Immortal Domain trembled, not daring to speak.

Anlan's expression was grave; he had not expected the Dark Four Immortal Emperors to actually appear together.

If it were only Emperor Hong, he could rely on the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book to remain invincible.

But if one added the World-Extinguishing Old Man, Cang Emperor, and Yu Di, then he would be the second Jiaoyindi.

He would absolutely be beaten to death by a gang, with not a shred of hope. There was no need for the other three emperors; the World-Extinguishing Old Man alone could finish him off. This seemingly sinister old man was known as the first emperor to open the heavens and split the earth!

"Senior," Emperor Hong called out respectfully, lacking his previous air of authority.

After all, no matter where or in which space-time, strength was king.

A faint smile appeared on the World-Extinguishing Old Man's aged face, yet this smile made one's back turn cold no matter how one looked at it.

"Fellow Daoist Anlan, being able to step into the realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperor is enough to prove your talent, opportunity, and Qi Luck."

"Of course, you also have the qualifications to stand with us," the World-Extinguishing Old Man said.

Upon hearing this, Anlan did not speak. He just listened quietly, wanting to know what the World-Extinguishing Old Man was actually planning.

"It is just that four Quasi-Immortal Emperors are already enough. If there is one more, then the resources of these heavens will not be enough to distribute. As a former Undying King, you should understand this principle."

The World-Extinguishing Old Man changed his tone, his words carrying an inherent authority.

A massive, invisible sense of oppression bore down upon Anlan; if Anlan said the word 'no', the four Quasi-Immortal Emperors would certainly strike together to destroy him with the force of Thunder.

Seeing this, Anlan thought for a moment and said:

"You are a senior, so I naturally respect you. However, you also know that an emperor cannot be humiliated. As a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, do I not have my pride? Emperor Hong was being unreasonable and demanded my submission."

"Senior, if it were you, would you agree?"

"Hmph, this is your honor!"

Emperor Hong glared fixedly at Anlan, his killing intent undiminished.

Anlan, however, raised his middle finger at him, maxing out the mockery.

"Hehe, this matter is indeed Emperor Hong's fault. He should not have pressured you. An emperor cannot be humiliated; if one bows their head, how could they ever hope to reach the peak of the Great Dao?"

"Emperor Hong, grant this old man a favor; how about you two shake hands and make peace?"

The World-Extinguishing Old Man looked at Emperor Hong, his calm gaze like an endless abyss. Even Emperor Hong felt a great threat; no one knew exactly how long this first Quasi-Immortal Emperor of the ages had lived.

Emperor Hong cupped his hands and said: "Since Senior has said so, I naturally will not say anything more."

"Now, Fellow Daoist Anlan, are you satisfied?" the World-Extinguishing Old Man said.

"Many thanks, Senior," Anlan said politely.

He truly did not understand why the World-Extinguishing Old Man would do this; there seemed to be no reason.

Moreover, with one more Quasi-Immortal Emperor, their resources would be divided further.

And killing him to seize his Dao Fruit would clearly have more benefits than drawbacks.

At the same time, the World-Extinguishing Old Man, Emperor Hong, Cang Emperor, and Yu Di opened a private chat mode.

"Senior, he is just a newly advanced Quasi-Immortal Emperor; you seem to be paying him too much attention," Yu Di said.

"A newly advanced Quasi-Immortal Emperor can fight Emperor Hong to a standstill. Yu Di, if it were you, could you do that?" Cang Emperor retorted.

"..." Emperor Hong; damn it, these two were using him as a unit of measurement.

The World-Extinguishing Old Man explained: "Do not forget, Fellow Daoist Anlan did not prove his Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit through his own strength. He is not like those beings from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths or the Immortal Domain. He originated from the Foreign Realm and was eroded by Dark Matter; essentially, he is a dark being just like us. He is fundamentally different from that Quasi-Immortal Emperor on the Diba during the Era of Emperor Fall. Since we are all dark beings, why waste our own great power to kill each other?"

"Senior is righteous," Yu Di said.

"But he is also too arrogant," Emperor Hong said, unwilling to let it go.

"Emperor Hong, did this dispute not start because of you?" the World-Extinguishing Old Man said.

"..." Emperor Hong.

"Besides that, this old man actually has another intention. For several epochs, I believe you have all realized that we have encountered a bottleneck; it is very difficult to comprehend the Dark Scripture of the Ultimate Ancient Land any further."

"I observe that Fellow Daoist Anlan has Great Luck, and his talent is not below ours. If we can comprehend the Dark Scripture through him, would we not be one step closer to that legendary realm?" the World-Extinguishing Old Man said.

These words completely moved Emperor Hong, Yu Di, and Cang Emperor; they truly could no longer comprehend the Emperor Scripture and were facing a bottleneck.

Thus, they reached a common goal and said nothing more.

Thinking back to the World-Extinguishing Old Man's past, perhaps he was also using Anlan; if he lost his utility, Anlan's final fate would only be death.

After all, the true form of the World-Extinguishing Old Man was one of the Ten Fiends of the ancient era, the Nine-Nether Mastiff!

Outside, the World-Extinguishing Old Man invited him:

"Fellow Daoist Anlan, since you have already become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, there is no need to stay in the Foreign Realm. Why not go to the Ultimate Ancient Land together to comprehend the true peak of the Great Dao?"

Facing this invitation, Anlan wanted to refuse, but looking at the World-Extinguishing Old Man's cold, deep eyes, he joked:

"Senior, you wouldn't be planning to take me to the Ultimate Ancient Land and have all of you finish me off together, would you?"

"..." Emperor Hong, Yu Di, Cang Emperor.

"That is unnecessary, unnecessary. If we really wanted to finish you off, we could do it right here," the World-Extinguishing Old Man smiled kindly.

"Hehe," Anlan gave a trembling laugh.

"Since that is the case, then I shall respectfully comply!"

Hearing this, the World-Extinguishing Old Man, Emperor Hong, and the others flew toward the Ultimate Ancient Land first.

Anlan left behind a strand of his will, which spread across the sky of the Foreign Realm.

"The Foreign Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths shall cease hostilities for one hundred thousand years. Both sides are forbidden from starting a war privately; otherwise, there will be no mercy."

The will, filled with boundless imperial might, permeated the skies of both realms; the Immortal Kings and Undying Kings of both sides dared not defy the will of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor!

To them, a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was the Tao and the Law; if they harbored any disloyalty, they would be erased by supreme power immediately.

Leaving these words behind, Anlan also headed toward the Ultimate Ancient Land. He was also very curious about that Corpse Immortal Emperor; as long as he did not bring the Rotten Wooden Box there, the Corpse Immortal Emperor would not be resurrected.

Chat Group.

Immortal King Anlan: "Ahem, I didn't expect to turn bad luck into good fortune this time. Many thanks to Xuan Ge for the protection, to Hou Tu for the protection, and to Qing'er for the protection."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "An Lao Liu, you really know how to show gratitude."

Scripture Seeker: "I didn't really contribute much, no need to thank me."

First Golden Core of the Nine Provinces: "Hehe, An Lao Liu isn't an Immortal King now, but a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, 666."

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Hahaha, actually I think the 'Quasi' can be dropped, he's basically an Immortal Emperor."

Zui Ai He Shounai: "Wahaha, seconded."

Sword Deity: "Agreed. I never thought this old man would be able to witness the birth of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor."

Demon King Who Never Suffers: "Celebrate, for this moment in the annals of time is the ultimate peak; a Quasi-Immortal Emperor who transcends time and space and is eternal and Undying is born at this very moment."

Demon Queen: "Damn, Demon King, you old geezer sure know how to talk."

Wudang Old Immortal: "This old Taoist congratulates Immortal King Anlan on becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor."

Bad Commander: "Same here!"

Foshan Ye Wen: "Congratulations, congratulations. Seeing the group members becoming more and more powerful, I am happy from the bottom of my heart."

Immortal King Anlan: "Everyone is congratulating me, I am very happy, but why do I have a feeling of unease?"

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "Ahem, there is a type of Diliu behavior called 'killing with kindness,' especially when one's strength surges, it's easiest to lose oneself amidst the endless praise."

Peach Blossom Island Little Fairy: "Sigh, I want to be killed with kindness too, but my strength is too trash."

Spirit Hall Pope: "Indeed, Brother Xuanzang, please comfort me."

Scripture Seeker: "..., Hehe."

Demon Queen: "Damn, so pretentious?"

First Golden Core of the Nine Provinces: "Little White Tea!"

Immortal King Anlan: "Killing with kindness? That doesn't exist. I won't get carried away. With Xuan Ge's teachings in mind, I am already humble and unmoved by the eight winds."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "An Lao Liu, as expected of you, always remembering Xuan Ge's teachings."

Diviner: "Ye Hei, stop with the 666s. Anlan has already become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor and defied the heavens to change his fate; when will you become a Great Emperor to make everyone happy?"

Young Girl Ruthless: "This time, I support the Group Owner."

Ruthless rarely said a word.

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Ye Laoliu, make a breakthrough."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "When Shi Laoliu becomes an immortal, I will become a Great Emperor."

Zui Ai He Shounai: "Don't look at me, cultivation must be done step by step."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "That's it, I also have to go step by step."

Diviner: "..., be careful of encountering ominous Weirdness."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Group Owner, don't curse me."

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "However, Fellow Daoist Anlan, you cannot let your guard down next. These Dark Four Immortal Emperors are likely not that simple, especially the World-Extinguishing Old Man; he is not a kind soul. You must observe more carefully when you go to the Ultimate Ancient Land."

Immortal King Anlan: "I will take Fellow Daoist Han's words to heart, but they said they wouldn't gang up on me. A Quasi-Immortal Emperor wouldn't go back on their word, right?"

Scripture Seeker: "That's not necessarily true. Eliminating you and silencing everyone who knows about this also counts as not going back on their word."

Immortal King Anlan: "Damn. Xuan Ge, please don't scare me."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "First, you must know why they want you to go to the Ultimate Ancient Land."

Immortal King Anlan: "How would I know? I've never been there."

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "The Ultimate Ancient Land seems to be the sleeping place of the Corpse Immortal Emperor, there's nothing else there."

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "According to my deduction, perhaps letting Fellow Daoist Anlan go to the Ultimate Ancient Land is related to the Dark Emperor Scripture. Emperor Hong, the World-Extinguishing Old Man, and Yu Di each obtained a part of the Emperor Scripture, but perhaps their talent is limited, making it difficult to peek into the remaining scriptures. At this time, they need a new Quasi-Immortal Emperor to comprehend it."

And once Anlan obtains the Emperor Scripture, the other four Quasi-Immortal Emperors will definitely demand it.

At that time, even if Anlan wants to refuse, there will be no way."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Damn, come to think of it, Han Laoliu, your deduction makes sense."

Immortal King Anlan: "Then I'm walking into a wolf's den and can't refuse. Xuan Ge, aren't you a Great Luo Golden Immortal? Why don't you calculate for me what will happen?"

Scripture Seeker: "I can calculate it, but it is not necessary."

Immortal King Anlan: "..., don't be like this, Xuan Ge."

Scripture Seeker: "Heavenly secrets must not be revealed!"

Immortal King Anlan: "Sigh, was it all a mistake in the end!"

Scripture Seeker: "Get lost!"

Immortal King Anlan: "Alright!"

At the same time, in the outside world, Anlan had completely crossed the Boundary Sea, passed the Diba, and also saw that row of faint footprints, feeling the will of that fallen Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

However, the deceased are gone, and now is not the time for sentimentality.

The world on the other side of the Boundary Sea is far larger than the Foreign Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but it is devoid of light all year round, wrapped in black mist, and even the stars in the sky have been corroded into Darkness.

Even for an Immortal King, as long as one steps onto this dark land, it won't be long before they fall into a dark creature, polluting their Dao Fruit and losing their original heart.

Of course, these things no longer have any influence on Anlan; even the Dark Matter visible everywhere in the air is the best energy for his transformation.

Anlan followed closely behind the World-Extinguishing Old Man and Emperor Hong toward the Ultimate Ancient Land!

In the deepest part of the Boundary Sea, there is a dark Void that stretches across infinite space, and above it sits an ancient, decaying palace. The Dark Matter here is even denser and purer; Anlan's body even actively and greedily absorbed this energy?

The World-Extinguishing Old Man, Emperor Hong, Cang Emperor, and Yu Di saw this scene, and seeing it, they were somewhat envious.

But Anlan still controlled himself, not absorbing too much, and revealed a polite yet not awkward smile.

The World-Extinguishing Old Man pointed to the eerie dark mist ahead and said, "Fellow Daoist Anlan, what do you see?"

Upon hearing this, Anlan looked up, seeing only a hazy mist, and could only see steps and a blurry figure ahead.

By all logic, with his Divine Sense, a single thought should be able to cover the entire universe, yet this ten-thousand-zhang distance before his eyes could not be seen clearly.

"Is that the position of the Corpse Immortal Emperor!" Anlan thought to himself, already having a guess.

"Let's go, let's go take a look together."

The World-Extinguishing Old Man had long anticipated Anlan's reaction; he had been the same way back then.

As the five emperors drew closer to the position of the Corpse Immortal Emperor, the Emperor Might radiating from the space grew increasingly intense; Anlan even felt the urge to kneel and worship that figure, for that was a true Immortal Emperor.

Not just him, but the World-Extinguishing Old Man, Hong Emperor, Cang Emperor, and Yu Di also wore expressions of reverence.

Finally, they stopped at a position about three thousand zhang away from the Corpse Immortal Emperor, because their strength only allowed them to reach this point; it was impossible to truly approach the Emperor Corpse.

But it was enough; Anlan had already seen the true face of the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

That figure draped in an Imperial Robe sat upon the one and only Imperial Throne of the ages, and one could even hear his breathing and heartbeat, as if he were merely asleep!

Yet looking closely, one would discover that half of the Emperor Corpse's body had already rotted, filled with black liquid; the face of the Emperor Corpse could not be clearly seen, as most of the face revealed teeth and bone, black rotting Flesh, and even protruding eyeballs.

"Such terrifying Weirdness, yet why does it give me a sense of familiarity?"

Anlan thought to himself, feeling that this Emperor Corpse looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before?

He could not help but look up, only to see a massive Black Hole in the Heavens Above the Ultimate Ancient Land!

And in front of the Black Hole, there was an Emperor Weapon, the Mother Qi of All Things Cauldron, stained black and suppressing it.

"???, damn, could it be that the true body of this Corpse Immortal Emperor is Ye Laoliu?"

Anlan was shocked and gasped a breath of cold air.
