Chapter 80
In this stretch of desolate starry sky.
The white-haired Void Great Emperor faced a great crisis.
He was besieged by three supreme Forbidden Zone Supremes, each attacking with full force, leaving no room for maneuver, intent on killing him in the shortest time possible.
And every one of them had blazing eyes, viewing the Void as prey, cruel light flickering in their pupils, sending chills down one's spine.
This was a terrifying scene.
To regard a Current Era Great Emperor as prey, even though he was already old!
Who would dare do such a thing?!
Only those existences within the Forbidden Zones!
Facing the ferocious killing strikes of three Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons.
Although the Void was aged and feeble, his essence blood turning somewhat stagnant when circulated, he still forcibly activated his own Forbidden Chapter Secret Technique.
"Void Severing Two Realms!"
He let out a Dao Shout, his voice cold and sharp, yet containing a silent grief and anger.
Ultimately, he still could not walk alone quietly toward the curtain call of his life!
At the moment of death, he still had to face these blood enemies' unparalleled attacks, even facing the dire peril of being dismembered.
For a Current Era Great Emperor, this was undoubtedly a tragic fate.
And as the Void Secret Technique was deployed.
A blazing light-flame great crack spread, within it terrifying Void Great Dao laws.
This was the Void Great Emperor's strongest Forbidden Chapter Secret Technique; in the past it had once split a Forbidden Zone Supreme's physical body and Primordial Spirit, intending to melt them in the void — absolutely a killing art terrifying to the extreme.
Yet now when deployed, it merely sought to draw the attacking Eternal Blue-Gold Ancient Blade and Dao Tribulation Golden Thunder Sword into the void, and in the end it was still neutralized by the two Supremes.
One can see the crisis the Void faced at this moment.
Then.
He turned his body, forcefully rousing his essence blood, his whole body radiating brilliant light, but obviously this was a final radiance before the curtain call.
Boom!
A Void Emperor Fist strike knocked back the Phoenix Blood Red Gold Ancient Cauldron, but his entire fist also turned into nothingness.
This was due to the Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor's bizarre Great Dao.
In an instant, the Void let out a muffled groan, clearly suffering no small pain.
Causing a resolute, deep Human Race Great Emperor to produce such a reaction — one can see how terrifying the Three Supremes' killing power was.
And taking advantage of this opening.
The Thunder Emperor once again formed hand seals, summoning several incomparably huge thunder radiances, each spanning several star domains, resembling Immortal Domain True Dragons.
This was a Forbidden Chapter Secret Technique the Thunder Emperor created after proving his Dao; its power absolutely compared to the Heavenly Punishment in an Emperor Tribulation.
And this kind of thunder-attribute killing, for a twilight-year Great Emperor with insufficient Qi and Blood and for Forbidden Zone Supremes, was especially suppressive.
This point could be seen from the Cang Xu Supreme and Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor's retreating-three-she, wary gazes.
And this killing was directed solely at the Void alone.
Rumble!
In a split second, the Void dodged most of the thunder dragons, but one still struck his body.
Emperor Blood splashed three thousand zhang!
Part of the Void's upper body exploded, blood rain dancing, even bones and viscera exposed!
Letting the Flawless Emperor Body suffer such damage — one can see the Void was indeed in his twilight years; perhaps his realm and combat power had both declined, otherwise he would absolutely not be so easily wounded.
Thud!
A massive black hand brushed past, collecting the Emperor Blood scattered across the starry sky.
The next moment, the Thunder Emperor had blood traces at the corner of his mouth, revealing a satisfied expression.
Obviously.
The essence blood the Void Great Emperor scattered was devoured by the Thunder Emperor; since he was closest, he naturally got the first share.
The reason he emerged, besides seeking revenge on the Void, was mainly because he urgently needed to replenish his Life Essence.
And the Cang Xu Supreme and Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor watched coldly, greed faintly flickering in their eyes.
In fact.
They also wanted a share, but terrifying thunder radiances flashed in the center of the battlefield; if they forced their way forward, the gain might not outweigh the loss.
Across the universe, many forces witnessed this desperate scene through Source Heaven Divine Eyes.
"We pray to the Upper Heaven, willing to offer our lives to help the Void Great Emperor return to his peak!"
"Has the Great Accomplishment Holy Body truly perished? Who can help the Void Great Emperor?!"
In the endless life star domains, who knows how many people were praying; all living beings' willpower surged vast and mighty, converging into the Void Emperor Mirror, making it slightly more brilliant.
All spirits were reminiscing the Void Great Emperor, hoping he could defeat the powerful enemies.
But all this was ultimately still far from enough; compared to the Three Supremes, the willpower of all living beings was like fireflies facing a giant dragon.
On the battlefield.
"Void, your fresh blood tastes good, making me even more anticipate your heart's blood."
The Thunder Emperor's smile was cruel, revealing white teeth, exceptionally awe-inspiring.
And the Void's face was indifferent, not directly responding to him.
He merely circulated a secret art, restoring his Imperial Body, and severed the Thunder Emperor's Great Dao laws from rampaging through his body.
He turned his head toward the Beidou Star Domain direction, as if confirming something.
"Is no one else coming out?"
He murmured softly, as if talking to himself, yet also as if questioning the Three Supremes on the battlefield.
This is simply inexplicable!
Could it be he still finds the enemies too few, and is expecting a fourth, fifth, or even more Forbidden Zone Supremes to appear?!
This made the Three Supremes surrounding him feel a faint unease in their hearts.
This Void, clearly so aged his Qi and Blood were exhausted, his Combat Power not at its Peak.
Yet facing three Imperial Path Experts on his side, he remained so calm and composed, without any trace of panic.
This clearly defies common sense!
And in the direction of the Beidou Star Domain, the Several Great Life Forbidden Zones ultimately had no Supreme appear again.
Unless absolutely necessary, no Supreme is willing to break their seal and emerge.
Ten thousand ages of waiting, all the forbearance, everything is for becoming Immortal!
Even the other two Demons slain among the "Three Demons from Beyond the Domain," their lords, the Immortal Mausoleum and Upper Heaven Supremes, also did not choose to appear.
Because their Lifespans were still ample, not worth missing the Immortal Path Opening in a hundred thousand years over a bit of hatred.
And the Three Supremes on the battlefield today are clearly not among them; they all have sufficient reason to appear.
"Void, what tricks are you playing? Today is your Death Date!"
Supreme Cang Xu vaguely sensed a thread of ill omen.
He shouted in rage, the Blue-Gold Ancient Knife in his hand sweeping out, about to slash at Void's head.
And the other two Supremes were likewise.
The three murderous auras soaring, ferocious flames surging to the heavens, like bloodthirsty Demon Gods, wanting to slaughter everything before them!
But just at this time.
"Is that so?"
A cold voice abruptly rang out, not loud, yet resounding through the entire Star Sky Battlefield.
Next moment.
A tall figure manifested on the Outside of the battlefield.
He had a Majestic Figure, white hair like a waterfall, exuding a supremely overbearing Supreme pressure!
"Holy Body?!"
The Three Supremes simply dared not believe their own eyes!
Didn't the Great Accomplishment Holy Body pass away over a thousand years ago?
The situation back then was obviously beyond obvious.
The Holy Body sat cross-legged day and night on his own Dao Platform, old beyond old, face full of wrinkles, white hair gray, barely a few strands left.
And his whole body emitted an aura of passing away, bleak and decayed.
And the day he passed away, it alarmed most of the Life Forbidden Zones, for that bleak aura was shocking, shaking the entire Great Universe.
"You're actually still alive?"
Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor was a cold, indifferent red-haired middle-aged man, looking askance at all things, looking down on all living beings, yet at this moment his eyes also revealed shock.
For the scene before him truly somewhat surpassed his expectations.
Or rather, surpassed the expectations of almost everyone in the world!
For Gu Xuan, even without passing through the Undying Divine Medicine, succeeded in Reincarnation by some special means, but this Second Life he also lived to nineteen thousand years old.
This Lifespan has already surpassed the vast majority of Heavenly Venerates, Ancient Emperors, and Great Emperors since ancient times.
Perhaps only the legendary Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor can compare.
But that is already a rumor ancient beyond ancient, and Gu Xuan is not of the Divine Silkworm Clan.
By common sense, over a thousand years ago, his passing was reasonable and should have happened!
But the fact is right before the eyes.
Gu Xuan manifested in the Human Realm once again.
And observing his appearance, though also white hair like snow, his face does not look very aged, seemingly still in his prime.
And on the other side.
"Hmph!"
Lei Huang let out a cold snort, lightning flashing in his eyes, the lightning condensed around his body becoming even more terrifying.
This is a domineering, warlike Forbidden Zone Supreme.
The great battles he experienced in his life are countless, the enemies he slew more than corpses of a million, absolutely not allowing himself to suffer any humiliation.
Upon perceiving Gu Xuan's aura, the Qi mechanism on his body surged violently in this instant.
Boom—!
He sacrificed the Thunder Sword in his hand, gathering a vast, unmatched Thunder Pool above his head, about to blast and kill towards Gu Xuan.
This is to give a show of force, to verify whether Gu Xuan is real or false.
And Gu Xuan's reaction was also very Direct.
Hum!
A Chaos Square Vessel appeared out of thin air on the battlefield, then pressed down directly to suppress and kill Lei Huang.
Boom!
The vast Thunder Pool instantly collapsed, Ten Thousand Daos of lightning laws scattered, this Heaven and Earth all crackling, every speck of dust as if lightning swam through it.
With an "Ah...", Lei Huang was smashed by the Chaos Square Vessel until he staggered, body flying horizontally, blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
Clearly, just One Strike, let him suffer a silent loss.
"Holy Body!"
The Thunder Emperor's eyes split with rage, and he shot back, but finally no longer acted lightly; instead, he stood together with the other two Supremes, facing off against Gu Xuan and the Void Great Emperor.
Three against two, they still held the numerical advantage!
But now Gu Xuan's combat power was clearly strange, obviously different from an ordinary Great Accomplishment Holy Body.
Unless the Forbidden Zone Supremes underwent Extreme Sublimation, they seemed no longer his match.
The Thunder Emperor's probe this time completely verified Gu Xuan's state; his reappearance in the world was real and not false!
Now.
Various signs indicated that his death over a thousand years ago was a fake death?!
This scene in the Star Sky Battlefield alarmed several Life Forbidden Zones of Beidou.
"Holy Body?"
"It really is him; this person truly deserves to die, actually hiding even from us?"
In a certain Forbidden Zone, a Supreme's exclamation spread, his voice withered and eerily cold, like a demon god of the Immortal Abyss.
"Good methods, actually faking death for over a thousand years!"
In another Forbidden Zone, a Supreme also sighed, as if glad he had not appeared.
Otherwise, there would inevitably be a fierce battle, which would greatly deplete their Qi and Blood, and even bring more serious consequences.
Everywhere in the Universe.
Many Supreme Races and various Great Dao Orthodoxy saw this scene through the Source Heaven Law Array, and were utterly dumbfounded.
The Great Accomplishment Holy Body was actually still alive, and had not passed into nirvana?!
Could it be that he had long predicted today's scene, guessed that a Forbidden Zone Supreme would take advantage of the Void Great Emperor's old age and physical decline, and thus made such arrangements?
But vanishing without a trace for over a thousand years—was this too inconceivable?
This moment.
Unknown numbers of people were both surprised and delighted, unable to believe the reality of this scene.
Some, while shocked, could not help but secretly sigh at the Great Accomplishment Holy Body Senior's black-heartedness.
This was a trap set for the three Supremes who appeared today!
In the Star Sky Battlefield.
"Holy Body, you faked death?!"
The Cangxu Supreme felt resentment in his heart and involuntarily gripped the Eternal Blue-Gold Ancient Blade, his teeth gnashing with a crackling sound.
"Holy Body, you fucking... truly cunning!"
The Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor also couldn't help but curse furiously; his pupils shrank, and his face became somewhat distorted.
Making a Supreme curse so crudely showed how furious he was in his heart.
The Thunder Emperor on the other side said nothing, because at such a time, no words had any effect.
Only, although his body stood firm, it seemed to tremble slightly, revealing that his heart was not as calm as he appeared.
This was a very obvious fact; the situation in the battlefield had already changed.
Originally, the three Supremes had calculated that Void was in old age and physical decline, his combat power fallen—this was the perfect time to divide his heart's blood!
If nothing unexpected happened, perhaps none of the three would need Extreme Sublimation to slay Void.
Then.
Harvest several Life Ancient Stars, replenish enough Life Essence, then return to the Forbidden Zone to hibernate, waiting for the Immortal Path Opening over ten thousand years later!
In this life, becoming an Immortal was within reach!
This was also why the Thunder Emperor of the Divine Ruins readily agreed when the two Supremes of Busianshan proposed the plan.
Originally speaking, Forbidden Zones rarely joined forces.
Because Forbidden Zones were not as harmonious as imagined; there were those who did not get along, mutually guarded against each other, and even viewed each other as enemies.
But this time the situation was obviously different.
With three against one, and an aged Great Emperor at that, theoretically there was no risk at all, and it could even be called a rare opportunity.
Pity, it was only theoretical after all.
But who could have expected that Gu Xuan had lived nineteen thousand years, and could still continue living!
In the pitch-black and icy Star Sky.
Gu Xuan stood there, laughing loudly, but his expression was cold beyond compare, like ice sealed for ten thousand ages.
"Am I cunning? If you weren't trying to kill us, how would it be like this? Using many to bully few, ambushing us in our old age, yet blaming us—don't you find that laughable?"
This scene was very similar to over ten thousand years ago, when Gu Xuan had just recovered and returned, facing off against the two Supremes of the Reincarnation Sea.
At this moment, the faces of the three Supremes turned iron-green, their eyes wide open, feeling extremely resentful in their hearts.
A Great Accomplishment Holy Body of over nineteen thousand years old, clearly so aged, that desolate and decaying presence covering sky and earth, about to pass into nirvana.
But who could have thought that he was still calculating!
He had not been aging and dying; rather, a thousand years before Void's lifespan was nearing its end, he had already set up this scheme, quietly waiting for the great enemy to come to his door—truly terrifying.
The Cangxu Supreme and the other two couldn't help but clench their fists, feeling very uncomfortable at being counter-schemed, resentful to the extreme, yet ultimately unable to refute anything.
It was indeed so; the three were full of schemes, intending to easily harvest Void's Emperor Blood with three against one, which was hardly glorious, and could even be called taking advantage of someone's danger.
Could it be that only you are allowed to cruelly besiege an aged Great Emperor, but others are not allowed to set a trap to kill?
It can only be said that we have long been mortal enemies, with only you die, I live.
The losing side would even have their corpses and essence blood divided by the enemy!
At this moment, the three Supremes in the field clearly understood this principle, yet still felt extremely furious in their hearts!
Even though they had three against two and still held the numerical advantage, they obviously no longer had the previous ease and comfort.
Seeing the Immortal Path Opening within reach, now they had to face a life-and-death uncertain blood battle, adding a fatal variable.
