Chapter 201: The Projection of the Supreme Primordial Chaos

"Reckless…"

The Lord of Longevity, holding the Sword of Immortality, his eyes radiated boundless divine light, within which countless worlds were born and perished in endless cycles.

Lines of Daoist laws spread from the Lord of Longevity, while chaotic qi churned around him.

At this moment, any living being that approached the Lord of Longevity would be instantly crushed into nothingness by the divine light he emitted.

Faced with Ye Hei's mockery, the Lord of Longevity grew furious.

What right does this mere child, who hasn't even reached Emperor level, have to speak to him in such a manner?

In truth, this had indeed struck a nerve deep within the Lord of Longevity.

As a supreme being of the Mythic Era, he could say that all his old friends had died one by one, and they all knew that self-decapitation could preserve their lives.

But none of the Lord of Longevity's old friends had done so.

Because after self-decapitation, you could only briefly maintain your vitality; as time passed, when your vitality dwindled, what would you do then?

At that point, you would need to harvest the life essence of cosmic beings, transforming their qi into your own vitality.

Once they had gathered sufficient essence, they could hide again within the forbidden zones.

Knowing full well what the future would hold, most of the supreme beings of the Mythic Era chose to fade away in the river of time.

Rather than live on, like the current Lord of Longevity, in a state of desperate survival.

For the Lord of Longevity, in some sense, he knew that living this way was indeed humiliating.

From the Mythic Era until now, he had witnessed countless eras pass.

He had seen the mighty ones who dominated their ages—some chose the same path as him, while others did not.

If one must survive by harvesting the life essence of cosmic beings,

Those mighty heroes with boundless pride looked down upon it and refused to stoop to it.

That was why the Lord of Longevity flew into uncontrollable rage upon hearing Ye Hei's mockery.

It was emotion accumulated over eons.

"Hah…" Ye Hei unleashed the bloodline power of the Ancient Holy Body, refusing to yield, charging straight at the Lord of Longevity.

"Boom—"

Terrifying power exploded across this realm; since their battle raged in the cosmos, the surrounding stars shattered under the force of their clash.

Facing Ye Hei's assault, the Lord of Longevity's eyes gleamed with a hint of surprise.

He had not expected that Ye Hei, wielding the Ancient Holy Body, could match him evenly.

Though his primordial essence had suffered certain importance when he forged the Immortal Path, he was still a Tianzun—the supreme powerhouse of the Mythic Era.

Even in his weakened state, he was no mere mortal below even a Pretender Emperor who could oppose him.

"Child, what does it matter if you fight me? In this time, how many beings in this universe have already been devoured?" the Lord of Longevity sneered.

Stalemating with Ye Hei was not what the Lord of Longevity wished to see.

In this Immortal Path battle, he himself had suffered heavy injuries and needed vast amounts of life essence.

He did not want to waste his strength fighting this Ancient Holy Body while others devoured cosmic life.

So now, the Lord of Longevity had two choices.

Either kill this one swiftly, or leave the Beidou Star Region and seek other star regions to devour life.

With his strength, Ye Hei could not stop him—not to mention that other Supreme Ancient Emperors were already devouring life within the Beidou Star Region.

Hearing these words, Ye Hei fell silent for a moment, for he knew it was true.

Even if he died here, dragging the Lord of Longevity down with him, it would not greatly alter the course of this Dark Chaos.

"Could I call upon the Bloody Emperor?" Ye Hei thought, this idea rising in his mind.

Because of Chen Ziyu, Ye Hei knew that the master of the Ancient Forbidden Zone was the Bloody Emperor.

She was an Emperor who had dominated an entire age—once, the mighty Feihua Divine Dynasty had been obliterated by a single slap from her.

More importantly,

Other Emperors could live only for a single era, utterly incapable of rebirth into a second life.

But this Holy Emperor had undergone rebirth multiple times.

Thus, among human Emperors, and even among the Supreme Ancient Emperors, she ranked among the highest.

After all, the Supreme Ancient Emperors within the forbidden zones had not achieved even a few rebirths.

Of course, according to Chen Ziyu, Ye Hei himself would later achieve ultimate transformation in this world of Concealing Heaven, ultimately ascending to the realm of Crimson Dust Immortal.

But that was a future matter.

For Ye Hei right now, the most crucial thing was ending this Dark Chaos.

He did not want this Dark Chaos to unfold as it had in history—countless cosmic beings devoured, Senior Gai Jiuyou and Jiang Taixu slain.

Thus, the Bloody Emperor was also a trump card Ye Hei had considered.

He knew that Nannan was born from the Bloody Emperor's Dao Fruit, and that Nannan could, to some extent, stir the Bloody Emperor's awakening.

But as Nannan's kin, Ye Hei did not wish to do this.

He did not want to use this trump card.

"No—I must rely on myself. I will defeat you all," Ye Hei crushed the thought in his mind and roared softly.

Golden light on his body surged violently; lines of Daoist runes wove across his flesh.

The bloodline energy of the Ancient Holy Body surged ever higher.
