Chapter 39: How Many Supremes Are There in the Forbidden Zones?

Everyone in the world knows that the Beidou Ancient Star has Seven Forbidden Zones of Life.

The Void Great Emperor has already set foot in four of them.

Of course, the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land among them is somewhat out of the ordinary; he did not enter deeply, merely paying his respects from afar.

However, the remaining three Forbidden Zones — namely the Divine Ruins, the Immortal Mausoleum, and the Upper Heaven —

he did not continue to visit.

Instead, he merely stood amidst the clouds, his gaze seeming to pierce through endless domains, gazing into the distance at the three great Forbidden Zones.

In fact, before he achieved the Dao, there might not have been a lack of Supremes acting from within these three Forbidden Zones.

But obviously, before acting, these people all severed their Qi traces, making it fundamentally impossible to trace the source.

During such a treacherous and unpredictable period, making too many enemies would be extremely unwise.

As for the Forbidden Zones of Busianshan and the Reincarnation Sea.

Both sides already know that sooner or later there will be a life-and-death decisive battle.

Even if he turned over this page and did not demand an explanation, a life-and-death struggle in the future has long been destined.

The reason they have not acted for the time being is that both sides are preparing.

Therefore, the Void Great Emperor was also not the least bit polite; he acted directly, forcibly breaking into the Forbidden Zones and brazenly plundering heaven-and-earth treasures.

Of course.

Picking the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Leaves of Busianshan and refining the Life Divine Spring of the Reincarnation Sea were both within the tacitly accepted limits of both sides.

This also counts as compensation for the Current Era Great Emperor.

And the Void Great Emperor did not go too far either; he grasped a certain measure.

If he truly pushed things too far, all these people would emerge and undergo Extreme Sublimation, which would be an unimaginable catastrophe.

In fact.

Whether in the Reincarnation Sea or in Busianshan.

When the Void Great Emperor strolled within them, there were ancient Supremes who were extremely resentful, and there were even domineering, warlike existences who wanted to act to test the waters.

But in the end they were persuaded to stop.

"What does the wait of ten thousand ages seek?"

Only because it was called a test; but once both sides went to war, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Expending too much essence blood, they might not necessarily survive this lifetime.

……

The Void Great Emperor left the Taichu Ancient Mine and did not continue to set foot in other Forbidden Zones of Life.

He restrained his own aura and walked upon the earth, treading every Great Wilderness where he had once fought, pursuing the old memories of days past.

Finally, he came to the Holy Cliff once again.

The Dao Platform where the Great Accomplishment Holy Body once resided has already had a grand and solemn mausoleum erected upon it.

This is the cenotaph the Void Great Emperor erected for the Holy Body.

Now, the outskirts of the Holy Cliff have already become a place where many people worship the Great Accomplishment Holy Body, and an elder Sage from the Qingyun Holy Land manages it.

Before the cenotaph.

The Void Great Emperor alone sat there, lonely and silent, like a statue beneath the setting sun.

He always recalled how the Holy Body Senior fought alone back then, a single person blood-battling the Ba Huang, and finally silently perishing in the starry sky.

Though his life was brilliant, in the end he could not avoid burning his last thread of light in this dark and cruel era!

He is a person of steady temperament, rarely revealing emotion, but every time this moment comes he is deeply saddened.

……

Eastern Wasteland.

Deep within the Ji Family Ancestral Grounds.

Within a palace wreathed in Chaos, the Void Great Emperor sat cross-legged on a futon, the Ten Thousand Daos accompanying him all around, presenting a posture of submission.

Since returning from the Holy Cliff.

He chose to enter seclusion, combing through his own Great Dao, perfecting the Great Dao, thereby enhancing his own strength.

Becoming a Current Era Great Emperor in such an era is certainly a supreme glory, but at the same time it is also an incomparably heavy responsibility and pressure.

Although before achieving the Dao, the Void Great Emperor knew that in the current era's Forbidden Zones of Life, the number of Supremes was terrifyingly high.

This point is not merely vaguely recorded in those ancient inheritances.

From the Holy Body Senior's mouth, he also learned the general situation.

However.

This trip to the Forbidden Zones, although the gains were not bad, also made him thoroughly understand the terrifying extent of the situation!

Among the Seven Forbidden Zones of Life, the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land can be temporarily left out of account.

In the current era.

In Busianshan, there are six or seven Imperial Path Figures, among whom at least two may emerge in this lifetime.

In the Reincarnation Sea, there are around five Supremes, among whom at least two may also emerge.

In the Taichu Ancient Mine, at least ten Taigu Emperors or above lie hibernating; perhaps one or two may come out.

As for the other three Forbidden Zones.

The Divine Ruins, the Immortal Mausoleum, and the Upper Heaven also each have an average of at least five or six Imperial Path Experts; as for whether there are Supremes eager to emerge, the situation is still unclear.

This does not even count the mysterious force of Di Fu.

According to the Void Great Emperor's estimate, within Di Fu there are at least three or four Supremes.

With so many Supremes, it is no wonder that Great Emperors of past ages all felt constrained.

No wonder even someone as powerful as the Queen Mother of the West had no choice but to watch helplessly as her husband's Dacheng Holy Body fell before her eyes.

Even someone as brilliant as the Hengyu Great Emperor, with two fists unable to oppose four hands, reached an agreement with several ancient existences in the Taichu Ancient Mine and departed far away to Central State.

Not to mention, generations of Dacheng Holy Bodies blood-battled the Ba Huang, trading life for life, only then managing to quell the Dark Turmoil.

Having reached the Void Great Emperor's current realm, he had long since known many of the hidden truths within ancient history.

During the years when the Nine Generations of Dacheng Holy Bodies suppressed the world, there had been several critical situations.

Supremes emerged, wishing to blood-sacrifice all living beings to mend the cracks in their Immortal Platforms.

And the Current Era Dacheng Holy Body appeared to stop them, engaging in deadly battle with the Forbidden Zone Supremes.

A Dacheng Holy Body can rival a Great Emperor.

Admittedly, a Dacheng Holy Body's combat power is inferior to a Supreme's, but it wins in having vigorous blood qi.

Supremes discovered that without extreme sublimation, facing a Holy Body that trades life for life, they could only be exhausted to death; and even after sublimation, they would most likely still wither away.

Only a very few Supremes could luckily survive by utilizing their already-severed Imperial Dao Fruits.

Thus, both sides took a step back.

The Supremes retreated back into the Forbidden Zones, continuing to self-seal, hoping for the next life to have no Holy Body.

However.

They never could have imagined that Dacheng Holy Bodies would actually appear for nine consecutive generations!

After bitterly enduring for nearly a hundred thousand years, some have already completely run out of patience, and their number is not small!

All pressure ultimately fell upon the Void Great Emperor's shoulders!

But this was also an unavoidable matter.

Unless before this, someone could sweep flat the Forbidden Zones and suppress-kill those Imperial Path Figures who had launched Dark Turmoils multiple times and carried heavy blood debts.

But this is an almost impossible matter.

Even someone as powerful as the Ancient Heavenly Court Emperor of the past could not accomplish such a thing!

Human strength has its limits.

A Great Emperor is already more or less the extreme limit of the cultivation path in this world!

Wanting to take even one tiny step further is as difficult as ascending to heaven!

The Void Great Emperor asked himself: if it were one-on-one, he would completely fear no existence within the Forbidden Zones.

Even the Nine Heavenly Venerables of myth and legend!

Since ancient times there has been a saying: Time does not emerge, Space is King.

Since beginning cultivation, he observed the eternal unchanging laws of the myriad things and ancient cosmos, inversely seized Heaven and Earth's Creation, proved the Dao through the Infinite Void, grasped the extreme of Space, and innately stood in an undefeated position!

Moreover, as the Current Era Great Emperor, his blood qi was vigorous, and he had the Heaven's Heart Mark enhancement.

With one person's strength, fighting two Supremes, he still had confidence he could ultimately win.

Even one against three, there was a possibility of outlasting the opponents.

But this is only the ideal situation.

Every Forbidden Zone Supreme is the strongest of an era!

They have all reached the absolute peak on their respective Daos, horizontally pushing the Heavens and Worlds, suppressing the Nine Heavens Ten Earths.

All have created forbidden secret techniques that collapse myriad ages, unrivaled throughout ancient and modern times!

Such figures — which one of them can be looked down upon?

Whoever does so, even an Emperor-level figure, will suffer a great loss, and may even perish!

Moreover.

Without even thinking, one knows those few Supremes eager to emerge certainly will not sit and wait for death.

They will surely have prepared their backhands, to deliver a fatal blow when the time comes.

Heavenly Venerables and Ancient Emperors are not merely titles of a realm; they do not merely represent that their Dao arts and physical bodies have reached the world's extreme limit.

They also represent that their combat skills have almost reached the world's absolute peak!

It's just that in most situations, Imperial Path Power is enough to horizontally push everything, fundamentally not needing to consider much else.

And the Void Great Emperor, as a Great Emperor, naturally possesses a near-immortal intuition.

A blood battle may perhaps arrive in the not-too-distant future!
