Chapter 56: Emperor Corpse

Void Great Emperor had naturally long since discovered these Ancient Race members.

The Great Emperor's divine sense was like the sea; long ago, above the snowy peaks outside the ground, he had perceived them.

Descendants or clansmen of the Taigu Emperor, sealed away, left for the opening of the Immortal Path of later generations.

However, he paid them no heed and continued forward.

Finally.

Before him appeared a huge Dragon Nest!

The Dragon Nest was as high as a mountain, built of black Dragon Wood, with a majestic aura.

At its center, chaotic Qi surged like an ocean, vast and unfathomable, suffocating to behold; a mysterious vermilion ancient coffin drifted within, suppressing the myriad ages and heavens!

The aura of Hugu rushed toward him, as if he stood upon the ancient earth.

In a daze, ancient trees towered into the sky, barbarian dragons and Hong Huang living beings roamed freely, beacon fires and war raged across the vast earth, battlefields in the Great Wilderness were endless, until finally an ancient Great Emperor emerged to pacify Ba Huang.

There was great terror in this place.

Besides Great Emperor-level killing arrays, there was also the peerless killing intent naturally emanated by the Emperor Corpse!

Without special means, even a Quasi-Emperor coming here would surely die.

Only an existence at the level of Void Great Emperor could observe and explore at close range.

In a daze, a rain of light appeared above the ancient coffin.

A woman of peerless grace, her whole body shrouded in chaotic mist, like an Immortal descending to the world, arrived at the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest.

Such a woman was rare since the myriad ages; even Heavenly Venerables and Ancient Emperors seemed inferior!

Under heaven and earth, I alone am honored; the god lords of all domains bow their heads!

She wore a Ghost Face Mask that seemed to cry yet not cry, to smile yet not smile, walking through this peerless burial ground permeated with Dragon Qi.

Finally, she sank into the coffin within the Dragon Nest, paying no heed to the Taigu Royal Clansmen around who were silent as cold cicadas.

And above the Dragon Nest.

There originally was an intact Imperial Dao Array Diagram, personally arranged by the Taigu Emperor of old, but more than half of it had been worn away by the vermilion giant coffin.

Obviously.

This rain of light was a mark imprinted from the scene of that day, hundreds of thousands of years ago..

Ordinary cultivators could absolutely not see this scene.

Only with the peerless mighty power of a Current Era Great Emperor could one manifest one or two 【of them】.

However.

Even though Void Great Emperor acted, the rain of light did not manifest for long, as if it had been obstructed by some Great Dao law.

At this time.

From the ancient coffin came an Emperor's Way Qi that could collapse the myriad ages and heavens, like a black hole, capable of returning all things to the void.

Void Great Emperor perceived it.

This Qi was not the slightest bit weaker than his, and was even stronger!

And it was extremely similar to what was transmitted from the abyss of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

In fact.

Void Great Emperor had long since discovered that such Dragon Nests were not just one.

In this secluded and winding Dragon Vein terrain, there were fully four such huge Dragon Nests.

And there were likewise four vermilion ancient coffins.

From the Qi, it could be confirmed.

These four ancient coffins all belonged to the same person, namely the legendary Supreme Female Emperor in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land!

Each one emitted Great Emperor Qi, and each was more terrifying than the last, though some were empty, containing only peerless killing intent within.

That Female Emperor indeed had merit participating in creation!

At this moment, even Void Great Emperor could not help but sigh in admiration.

That Female Emperor should have already lived through four lives.

And now, very likely beneath the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, she was undergoing some mysterious transformation.

The world did not know, thinking she had long since perished in ancient history.

After all, she had not shown her trace for endless years.

And during this period, Xi Huang Mu, Hengyu Great Emperor, and others successively proved the Dao and became Emperors.

Since ancient times, Great Emperors have never met in pairs.

One Emperor perishes, ten thousand loads pass before the Dao Marks fade, and only then does a new Emperor appear.

Only Void Great Emperor could enter the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

And only at his level could one, from the abyss of Hugu, perceive that existence like an Immortal Cocoon.

Tremendous!

As an Emperor or Sovereign, living out a Second Life is not rare; Liu Shen Shen Yao can achieve it.

Severing oneself with one knife, hibernating in the Forbidden Zone, using all living beings of the Universe as blood food to extend one's own lifespan, there have never been few who do this generation after generation.

However.

Like her, without severing oneself with one knife, truly undergoing Nirvana to emerge with four or more lives.

In the later period suppressing her own Dao Fruit, without affecting new Emperors of later generations proving the Dao.

Among the many Ancient Sovereigns and Great Emperors since the myriad ages, it can be said she created a miracle.

Such stunning talent and peerless aptitude.

Among the outstanding figures since the myriad ages, even if not said to be the first in stunning brilliance since ancient times, it is nearly so!

Even the Void Great Emperor felt a sense of admiring appreciation!

He himself had proven the Dao through the Infinite Void; his Great Dao could be called a forbidden domain of the Human Path Universe.

Given time, his achievements would be immeasurable; among the emperors of ancient times, he could also be called peerlessly brilliant.

Yet now, facing the female Emperor, he deeply sensed her unfathomable depth — she might already have walked ahead of him.

Finally, the Void Great Emperor arrived before the last Dragon Nest.

A vermilion ancient coffin rose and sank amid the Chaos qi.

Its qi mechanism was also the most terrifying among the four giant coffins.

He could perceive that within lay a mangled corpse, drenched in fresh blood, white bones grim — it should be the remains left from the female Emperor's metamorphosis.

Had he not sensed that heaven-defying fluctuation of the Immortal Cocoon in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land not long ago, he might have thought the female Emperor's metamorphosis had failed, that she had utterly vanished from the world.

Beside the coffin.

A single plant of Undying Divine Medicine took root in the Divine Source.

It stood about one chi tall, its whole body as if cast from gold, the entire plant dazzlingly brilliant, with nine leaves growing in symbiosis, swaying like golden clouds, ethereal beyond compare, the qi of ten thousand dragons coiling around it.

At its tip was a palm-length small dragon, golden light dazzling, lifelike, as if alive.

That was its fruit, emitting an extremely rich fragrance; just a single sniff made one intoxicated, floating as if about to become immortal.

True Dragon Immortality Medicine!

In the past, there were also Quasi-Emperors who risked death to approach this place, attempting to draw it away with great magical power.

However.

The Undying Divine Medicine was sentient; it actually seemed frightened, and in an instant uprooted itself, transforming into a streak of golden divine light that flew toward the deep parts of the Dragon Nest.

This place has an Emperor's corpse guarding it, and also an Ancient Emperor's formation diagram.

Triggering a single strand of aftermath would turn a Quasi-Emperor to ashes.

In the end, that Quasi-Emperor could only sigh at the sight and return dejectedly.

This is a divine object rarely seen in the world; ordinary cultivators can only gaze at it longingly but never attain it.

But at this moment, facing the Void Great Emperor.

The True Dragon Immortality Medicine did not flee; instead, the coiling qi of ten thousand dragons grew even more vigorous, like a spirit.

Endless years have passed, yet it actually encountered once more a living being so powerful as to reach the absolute peak.

Almost not inferior to that female Emperor!

However, even facing the Void Great Emperor, it did not actively follow him.

It merely swayed in radiant splendor, emitting golden light like a divine halo, seemingly excited, yet also seemingly welcoming.

After all, hundreds of thousands of years ago, it had already followed that female Emperor, and the female Emperor still lives in the world.

The Void Great Emperor did not stand on ceremony.

He circulated his Dao power, plucked the fruit of the True Dragon Immortality Medicine, and collected it into the Jade Pure Bottle.

However, as for the Undying Divine Medicine itself, he did not move it.

This was not only out of reverence for the female Emperor, but also a decision he had long since made.

In this life, he might at any moment erupt in a world-shaking God War with the Forbidden Zone Supreme; life and death are unpredictable.

Should there be any mishap, he was unwilling to let such a divine medicine be damaged, let alone fall into the hands of the Forbidden Zone Supreme.
