Protagonist:

Jiang Xuan

This scene was shocking to the heart; he was actually injured in the midst of the fierce battle!

"You think my old age makes me someone to bully? I have never been defeated in my life! Even though I suffered damage breaking into the Immortal Road, I still possess combat power! Since rising from the Lun Hui Hai, I have aspired to be invincible; even in weakness, I can reach the peak in an instant!"

"I know you can Sublimate; otherwise you would have died by my hand like the Great Accomplishment Tyrant Body long ago. Sublimate to the Extreme Realm, let me witness the might of a Flawless Great Emperor, otherwise there will be no chance!"

Jiang Xuan's tone was calm, his expression composed, his aura like a falling star crashing down, tyrannical and unmatched, his might pressing down on the raging seas, heaven and earth trembling.

The Master of Reincarnation's heart turned cold, all arrogance lost, leaving only gravity.

Such an invincible bearing, even he in the days before he had Proven the Dao, was far inferior!

Heavenly Might descends upon the world, peerless elegance!

Those who can compare with him, throughout ancient and modern times, are only those rare few like Wu Shi and the Ruthless One.

Could it be, that there truly will be another such heaven-defying killing god, rising powerfully with the posture of a hegemon, suppressing the Forbidden Zones into dormancy, standing tall at the peak of the universe?

The Master of Reincarnation's silhouette was like an ancient demonic mountain, majestic and heavy, Chaos Qi like raging torrents, completely devouring and drowning his true body.

Boom!

His frontal bone suddenly blazed with light, Chaos Light leaking out, instantly piercing the dark universe, endless streams of light reversing like the Milky Way.

The dark universe was illuminated bright as day, a deity faintly visible, sitting cross-legged upon a towering Immortal Platform, bearing solemn, dignified appearance.

The sacred Dharma Form gradually clarified in the light, shining brilliantly, divine radiance cleansing the past ages; such a spectacle of Pangu's Axe cleaving heaven and earth was truly universe-shaking, all beings in the universe trembling in shock!

Behind the Master of Reincarnation, a vast ocean slowly emerged.

This ocean was no ordinary water, but formed from countless wronged souls and vengeful spirits gathered and condensed through vicissitudes and the passage of years.

"I am the Overlord who governs the Reincarnation of all under heaven; all living beings in the world are under my control, as insignificant as ants!"

"Wherever I turn, there is no one who can withstand me!"

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The Master of Reincarnation held his head high and strode forward; with each step falling, the universe's spacetime trembled.

His eyes deep as an abyss, containing the mysteries of the universe's beginning and end, shattering one's heart and gall.

His body had long been wrapped in Chaos Qi, completely swallowed, suffocating.

The Lun Hui Hai like a Chaos Millstone, swallowing heaven and drinking the sun, rotating.

The stars lost their luster, breaking free of their orbits, like ten thousand falling meteors; more great stars, like bursting suns, fell in droves.

Strings of brilliant Star Rivers collapsed, the Silver River reversed flow, all furiously swallowed and sucked in by the Lun Hui Hai.

The Master of Reincarnation like a dormant dragon ascending to heaven, wishing to reproduce that former hegemonic might that shook the universe.

Extreme Realm Sublimation!

As if Mount Buzhou collapsed, huge waves surged, rushing out in all directions, his momentum swelling several times over in an instant.

"Reincarnation? Who dares claim to control Reincarnation, arrogant without self-knowledge. Not to mention this Reincarnation is illusory, even if it were real, I would suppress it with a single hand!"

Jiang Xuan showed no fear, his eyes seeming to hold surging thunder and fire, instead revealing joy.

His physique stronger than the Great Accomplishment Holy Body, three fists killing a Tyrant Body; ordinary Supremes before him were merely ants and crickets, unable to withstand a single blow.

Only a Flawless Great Emperor could force him to exhaust his potential, making his fighting spirit blaze like a raging fire.

Jiang Xuan's whole body surged with battle blood, scorching and high-spirited, wildly surging and boiling within him, skyrocketing sharply in a near loss-of-control posture.

"Boom!"

Like two brilliant and fatal meteors, Jiang Xuan and the Master of Reincarnation, wrapped in heaven-destroying earth-annihilating power, violently collided together.

Endless energy storms, like surging tsunamis, crazily spread in all directions.

The other four Supremes watched coldly from the sidelines, expressions stern, as if it had nothing to do with them, standing quietly to the side, neither intending to act nor showing the slightest emotional fluctuation.

As Supremes, they once ruled the universe, honored by heaven and earth, like brilliant stars hanging high in the Heavenly Vault.

The two words "Invincible" had long been deeply branded; I alone am honored, belief firm as a rock, how could they acknowledge another as the world's strongest?

This was not baseless arrogance; in past years, they indeed traversed heaven and earth with invincible posture, making all beings revere them, all enemies terrified.

This is fact; in those days, they were exactly so!

"Since the Master of Reincarnation has already begun the war, we too should set out on campaign; farewell from here, each going our own way!"

"The Master of Reincarnation faces a predicament; his title of Invincible for a Lifetime, I fear will be broken!"

……

"Leave? In this heaven and earth, I have not given permission; you cannot go anywhere!"

While Jiang Xuan was in the thick of fierce battle with the Master of Reincarnation, he remained calm and composed, still able to spare attention to control the overall situation.

He tore through the Heavenly Vault, spacetime shattered, the Eight Trigrams Furnace Divine Ability howling out, suppressing downward.

Like a god descending, facing five Great Supremes alone.

"Hmph! Latecomer, you indeed have some ability, comparable to the Wu Shi of old, but you have not yet Proven the Dao, do not act recklessly; if you seek death, come after you have Proven the Dao, I will surely destroy you utterly with invincible might!"

"One person's strength may fall short; how about adding this old man?"

Sobbing Immortal Sound lingering, like weeping like pleading, the Star Sky trembling.

At the edge of the Star Domain, an old man appeared staggering.

His body hunched, decrepit attitude fully displayed, eyes dim and lightless, only a trace of sorrow intertwining around him, yet still walking with great difficulty, slowly advancing.

This old man was precisely Ji Xuan!

"Fellow Daoist Ji! No need for this!" Jiang Xuan spoke to stop him.

Ji Xuan's body was already like a candle in the wind; once he joined the battle, regardless of victory or defeat, his lifespan would surely end and his vitality would be hard to preserve.

"Old man, I have one regret in this life: I failed to prove the Emperor's Way. But my heart and my path are in no way inferior to the might of a Great Emperor. Let old man fight this battle!"

Ji Xuan's face was resolute, and the fervent battle intent in his eyes seemed ready to burn this Tian Di to ashes.

Jiang Xuan gazed at Ji Xuan, clearly seeing on that weathered face a determination to face death as if returning home.

The Tribulation Crossing Immortal Melody played slowly, and the sorrow on his face grew deeper; this melody was not played for his own fate, but out of concern for the safety of billions of living beings.

Ji Xuan had already cast his own life and death aside, his heart filled with pity and protection for the myriad creatures.

Even if his body decayed, he would use his remnant body as a shield to fight desperately for this world.

A soft sigh!

Ji Xuan's talent, viewed through the ages, was undoubtedly outstanding and remarkable; this was a shared judgment of the world.

If the matter of Qing Di proving the Dao had not come first, and if the eras they inhabited were not separated by some distance, Ji Xuan would undoubtedly become a Great Emperor of one generation.

His path of advancement could be called swift; after quickly entering the Quasi-Emperor realm, he continued to advance, actually touching the edge of that supreme realm, but in the end failed to break through the shackles and complete the crucial transformation.

This regret ran through his long years.

In the Post-Ancient Era, the rules of Tian Di changed greatly, and the path of cultivation seemed filled with thorns.

Even though the influence of the Qing Emperor Great Dao had not yet dissipated, Ji Xuan relied on his own strength to reach the critical node of nearly proving the Dao, almost breaking the shackles of the past ages to achieve true Dao-proving and becoming an Emperor. Such a journey and achievement could not be fully summarized by the two words "outstanding."

Such a peerless hero of the age, yet because he was born at the wrong time, left only unfulfilled ambitions.

His life was full of sighs and regrets over great ambitions that could not be realized.

"Hmph, somewhat interesting. A Quasi-Emperor with a candle in the wind actually dares to act against us; truly he does not know the immensity of Heaven and Earth."

"Hmm? The situation seems unusual. This power is indeed so strong, but in the end it still lacks that bit of heat; failure at the brink of success."

The Ancient Supremes judged thus.

The Tribulation Crossing Immortal Melody played slowly, and Ji Xuan walked forward steadily, each step as if stepping on the strings of the years.

The light on his body gradually grew stronger, the sorrowful expression slowly faded, replaced by a profound Tranquility.

With each step, it was as if he stepped on the strings of the Great Dao of Tian Di, and the Great Dao hummed with vibration.

The light on him gathered like starlight, becoming increasingly dazzling. His decayed body emitted slight crackling sounds, as if an ancient machine that had slept for long was operating again.

Until finally, the sound of blood surging and flowing within his body was clearly audible, turbulent and surging, raising shocking waves.

This old man with a candle in the wind was actually forcibly tempering his essence and qi with supreme will, attempting to return to the past and restore himself to his former peak state.

His gaze was firm; in his heart there was only one thought: to fight the Ancient Emperor to the death, even if he exhausted everything, he would not hesitate.

"Defying Heaven, who knows what it means; perhaps only an hour, and your body will be like a candle remnant in the wind, thoroughly burned out."

The Forbidden Zone Supremes watched coldly from the side.

Ji Xuan paid no attention; the essence and qi all over his body surpassed the Heavenly Vault, as he performed blood essence tempering with a body of a candle in the wind.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, I have an Immortality Divine Medicine." Jiang Xuan wanted Ji Xuan to take the Immortality Divine Medicine.

"This old life of mine is like a small flame flickering in the wind; do not waste this precious divine medicine on me!"

Ji Xuan straightened his spine, and the aura emanating from him was like a volcanic eruption, rushing straight into the clouds.

"The Immortality Divine Medicine born into the world is meant to be taken; if it cannot be put to its best use, what meaning is there in keeping it?" Jiang Xuan's mind was decided; he flicked his finger, and the Immortality Divine Medicine instantly turned into a dazzling light, fast as lightning, directly drilling into Ji Xuan's body.

As the divine medicine entered his body, the Sky was instantly illuminated, and the Universe's essence and qi surged wildly.

The medicinal power of the Immortality Divine Medicine surged forth like a roaring wave, and astonishing transformations began to appear on Ji Xuan's body.

With each slow step, it was as if reversing the River of Time; each step seemed to trace back a hundred years of years.

His originally decayed and withered body faded away at a visible speed, gradually becoming young and full of vitality. The former hunched posture and weakness gradually dissipated, replaced by a perfect body as if forged by a god, with a heroic posture, standing tall and proud.

At this moment, he was as if reborn through reforging, his whole body emitting an unparalleled heroic bearing.

In his eyes, brilliant light shone like stars, profound and bright; his originally sparse and white hair had now turned into thick, ink-black hair, scattered over his shoulders and back, dancing lightly in the wind, adding a touch of unrestrained elegance.

The whole person was transcendent and unworldly, as if an Immortal King reincarnated, carrying endless dignity and nobility, inspiring awe and reverence.

He was originally a heaven-defying talent with an unparalleled appearance; at this moment he was even more handsome and graceful, as if carved from beautiful jade, emitting a gentle yet powerful aura.

The unique spirit was like towering mountains, suppressing all directions, vast as a god.

This was Ji Xuan of his youth, traversing the Universe, unrivaled in the world.

His eyes were clear, like a clear and secluded pool, profound and tranquil; supreme demeanor radiated out, filling Tian Di.

Ji Xuan's words were calm and composed, yet like a great bell resounding through the clouds: "Dare to fight?"

Not a trace of anger or sorrow, only confidence overflowing, deep as an abyss, vast as the sea.

On his face, due to this firm belief, bloomed a dazzling radiance, shining brightly, causing the sun, moon, and stars to all lose their luster.

As these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap on flat ground, deafening; the four high and mighty Supremes could not help but be slightly stunned.

That voice seemed to have substance, like surging waves surging and echoing in this vast Tian Di, endless for a long time.

What an astonishing and shocking determination and spirit! To dare openly utter such grand words to the Ancient Supremes, questioning whether they dare to accept the challenge!

"You want to fight us?" Stone Emperor said, cold and icy, as if coming from Jiuyou Diyu, carrying endless deterrence and questioning.

"Dare or not?" Ji Xuan asked again; though his tone was not loud, all the stars in the sky trembled and shook.

If anyone else spoke such words, they would surely be regarded as madness and become a laughingstock of the world, and the Supremes would also sneer at them, disdain to look, and even be too lazy to pay attention.

When Ji Xuan spoke these words, the entire Tian Di actually trembled with them. In everyone's hearts arose an inexplicable feeling that it was only natural, as if he inherently possessed the qualification and strength to compete with the Supremes.

Even the five Ancient Supremes fell into astonishment, forgetting to rebuke and despise; deep in their hearts arose a strange feeling, and in a trance, they seemed to truly feel that this person before them was indeed an unrivaled strongman of one generation, whose might could shake Heaven and Earth, whose name would be remembered in history.

At this moment, Ji Xuan was surrounded by brilliant glory, and his every move displayed an invincible bearing.

That natural dignity and spirit made all observers feel awe, feeling that his challenge to the Supremes was only natural, and deeply believing he possessed the majestic strength to compete with them.

Ji Xuan's desire for this battle was like a blazing fire, burning away all obstacles in the world. He wished to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Great Emperor, compete with the Ancient Emperor, and fulfill the great ambitions long suppressed in his heart.

He originally had the qualification to become an Emperor, his talent and talent stunning ancient and modern times, but because he was born at the wrong time, if Qing Di still existed in the world, with his proud bones and heroic passion, he would surely step onto the path of challenge without hesitation, fearing no difficulties or dangers.

Now, he regarded this battle as the final swan song of his life, and would exhaust all his strength to bid farewell to the mortal world in the most brilliant radiance.

Even if fate was fraught with misfortune, he was in no way inferior to any legendary figure, using this battle to make up for his regrets.

He wanted to engrave his own glory in the long river of history, to make up for the helplessness and unwillingness of having missed a glorious era.

Even if the road ahead was strewn with thorns, even if life was about to wither, he would still, at the very last moment, with an unyielding posture, proudly step onto the peak.

"Boom!"

The God Ruins Master's body suddenly blazed with dazzling radiance; in the blink of an eye, his wounds completely healed, his whole person seeming as if reborn through fire, and he said proudly:

"A mere Quasi-Emperor, yet you dare to come and provoke me; since it is so, then I shall grant your wish and send you to the west!"

The shocking world-shaking great war raised its curtain.

The battle situation was tragic beyond measure, shaking heaven and shaking earth; Ji Xuan was like a primordial giant beast awakening, his vast aura surging tumultuously.

With just a single exchange, fresh blood was seen flying and splattering, the vast long sky dyed into a blood sea.

This was an emperor-versus-emperor showdown!

The two silhouettes were like brilliant stars, fighting all the way across countless star domains, rushing straight toward the depths of the universe wasteland.

The might of the emperor battle was vast and boundless, absolutely not something that could cease in a single morning or evening.

Jiang Xuan understood clearly in his heart; this was Ji Xuan's resolute choice, he absolutely would not allow this life to leave behind even the slightest regret.

Since it had already come to this, then what followed should be taken up by himself to continue the struggle. Jiang Xuan's gaze was like lightning, coldly staring ahead, and he said in a deep voice:

"You four, do you want to step forward one by one to send yourselves to death, or go to the west together?"
