As the center of attention, Li Yiheng was toasted by the various nobles in turn.

Everyone could see that Li Yiheng had a bright future, and he was highly regarded by the High Priest.

His future holds more than just the title of Marquis; becoming a King is also within reach.

Li Yiheng had just returned to the Marquis's residence after sobering up when he suddenly felt dizzy.

His figure reappeared in that space, and upon seeing Ying Zheng's figure, he immediately regained consciousness and exclaimed excitedly, "The generous gift that Master spoke of!"

Seeing his disciple's eagerness, Ying Zheng chuckled: "How could your master speak recklessly? You have already ascended to the Ninth Heaven of Gods and Demons. Although you have only completed your first transformation, your accumulated origin is still quite profound."

"However, as my disciple, this level is far from sufficient. The stronger your foundation before reversing the innate realm, the more you will gain, and the stronger your future combat power will be. Therefore, this time I will baptize you and lay the foundation for the strongest Dao."

Upon hearing this, Li Yiheng became even more excited: "Please, Master, begin immediately!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Ying Zheng revealed twelve former emperors whose Dao fruits had been plundered and who had been completely stripped of their wealth.

Everyone glared angrily at Ying Zheng, and Li Yiheng was secretly terrified by his murderous gaze.

Although they lacked an imposing aura, Li Yiheng vaguely sensed that these beings were far from simple.

The Void Emperor also appeared here, and upon seeing Ying Zheng and Li Yiheng, he knew that they were his master's disciples.

His aptitude is passable, but that's about it. What exactly makes this child so appealing to his master?

Even far inferior to himself back then, the Void Emperor couldn't help but look at Li Yiheng with envy.

Although he found the Void Emperor's gaze puzzling, Li Yiheng ignored it since he had not been introduced by his master.

"They were all previous emperors of this realm. I was entrusted by the ruler of this realm, Donghuang Taiyi, to capture them. Once their Dao fruits were obtained, they were no longer of any use. Now, I will extract their essence to baptize you, which can be considered making the best use of them," Ying Zheng said calmly.

His expression suggested that these things were insignificant.

However, to Li Yiheng, it sounded like a thunderclap.

When he first arrived in this world, he knew that all emperors possessed the strength of a Primordial Dao Lord.

Even without the blessing of an imperial throne, he is still at the half-step Hunyuan realm.

These beings are terrifyingly powerful figures who rule over their respective regions, and even the Great Luo Immortals must bow before them.

Now that Master wants to extract the essence of these half-step Hunyuan experts to baptize him, isn't that too extravagant?

But thinking about the transformation after being baptized by the essence of a half-step Hunyuan expert, Li Yiheng put his fear and shock behind him and was filled with anticipation.

"The Great Dao Forge - Refine!"

The furnace formed by the Primordial Chaos Dao instantly enveloped the twelve emperors. Ying Zheng was completely unconcerned about this act of making use of waste.

Under the tempering of the Great Dao's fire, the emperors' physical bodies continuously melted, and their primordial spirits showed signs of softening. Their wills roared and cursed wildly.

I curse you to follow in our footsteps!

"A madman! A real madman!"

"I pledge my allegiance to you, and spare my life!"

"."

Ying Zheng ignored them completely and even silenced them. Their Dao fruits had long been intercepted by Donghuang Taiyi's contingency plan.

After their fall, they had no chance of revival, as all paths to enlightenment were entrusted to Donghuang Taiyi.

Without the tolerance of Donghuang Taiyi, there is no chance of rebirth. Strictly speaking, their paths are incomplete, lacking the most crucial part.

Most importantly, their cultivation was all for the service of Donghuang Taiyi; the Dao Fruit did not belong to them. They were merely tools for evolving the Dao Fruit!

As all the physical body and primordial spirit dissolved, a colorful spiritual liquid was extracted, and Ying Zheng placed Li Yiheng into it.

Feeling the spiritual liquid flowing and seeping into his physical body and primordial spirit, strengthening his foundation, Li Yiheng comprehended the imperial laws that permeated the surroundings and began to devote himself wholeheartedly to the transformation.

The Void Emperor, who witnessed all of this, was filled with envy, jealousy, and utter shock—the twelve previous emperors had fallen just like that.

They left behind only the treasures and fruits of their life's struggles, proving that they once existed.

Just as Li Yiheng was undergoing his transformation, Ying Zheng captured twelve previous emperors.

Their disappearance alerted the other old monsters.

After all, those who lost their thrones and whose strength plummeted are bound to band together for warmth due to their lack of security.

Therefore, the previous emperors formed an alliance of offense and defense and exchanged views regularly.

This exchange was forced to be brought forward due to the birth of a supreme innate treasure in the Chaotic Heavenly Realm.

However, they were unable to contact the nine previous emperors who had appeared, and even the previous emperors who had gone into hiding with them had all disappeared.

How could such a situation not attract everyone's attention? This was the simultaneous and silent disappearance of twelve previous emperors.

They were fearful that they might be the next target.

The ability to silently erase the existence of twelve previous emperors means that they also have the ability to eliminate them.

Therefore, the remaining twenty-four former emperors put aside all grudges and secretly gathered together.

"We intended to seek out Yin and Yang to inquire about the origins of the innate treasure, but we have been unable to make contact with them. Although we cannot sense whether they are alive or dead, the situation must be extremely dire!"

"Indeed! No wonder a primordial treasure was born; it turned out to be a trap!"

"Do you all think it could be the work of the current emperor?"

"It's possible, but the probability is quite low. It wouldn't benefit them to take action!"

"Besides, they don't have the ability to create innate treasures!"

"You should know that, apart from the one in the hands of the Void Emperor, we control all of those special innate spiritual treasures. But those origins alone are far from enough!"

"This matter has had a very negative impact, and we may need to contact them to investigate it thoroughly!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present exchanged bewildered glances. Finally, the oldest emperor made the final decision: "Then contact them! We must find out the reason for their disappearance and who is responsible. We are all in this together; none of us can escape unscathed!"

A deep sense of dread arose in everyone's hearts. If it wasn't the work of the current emperor, it meant that a hidden force was lurking in the shadows, watching with predatory intent.

It might even be a sign of the Creator's resurrection. If so, the plan may need to be brought forward.

Then, the oldest of them, the second-generation emperor, and the most prestigious Xuan Tian emperor, sent a message to a small world hidden deep within the world, isolated by the twelve emperors.

At this moment, all laws are manifested within this small world, the Great Dao of the Heavens is revealed, and eleven emperors suppress the heavens, making it seem like the core of the universe.

The current Holy Emperor of the human race sensed the summons of the external light and waved his hand to open a gap to receive this message.

The Human Saint Emperor's move immediately attracted the attention of the other ten people, especially the three emperors of the Chaos Heaven Clan.

After all, the Hun Tian Clan suffered heavy losses in the last war between gods and demons, when they were besieged and attacked by the human and demon clans and various royal families.

If they hadn't jointly plotted to break free from the constraints of the emperor's position, they would have already turned against each other.

Therefore, the current ruler of the Chaotic Heaven Clan said in a sarcastic tone, "We agreed to erase our traces together, but now someone has come knocking on our door. You are truly a competent Holy Emperor!"

The Human Saint Emperor glanced at him indifferently, his gaze as if scrutinizing a clown: "This is a message from the Xuan Tian Emperor."

Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately became solemn: "The Xuan Tian Emperor? What on earth has happened that he would contact us?"

Immediately, everyone's divine senses touched the stream of light. In an instant, a will manifested, its vast aura permeating the air. The Xuan Tian Emperor opened his eyes and looked at the eleven people present, asking in surprise, "The Void Emperor has not yet returned?" The Human Saint Emperor seemed to sense something amiss and tentatively asked, "Indeed, he has not returned. What exactly happened?"

Upon receiving the Holy Emperor's reply, Emperor Xuantian felt a sense of foreboding.

After obtaining the Soul-Destroying Spear, the Void Emperor should have had enough time to initially refine it and return.

Why haven't they returned yet? This matter is far from simple, and it's definitely not because they fear other emperors will seize the Soul-Destroying Spear.

Perhaps even the Void Emperor has fallen. If that's truly the case.

The person behind this, capable of easily obliterating a contemporary emperor, possesses power beyond imagination.

The battle of emperors should have shaken the entire Hengyu Great World, but it disappeared so quietly, which is truly bizarre.

Therefore, when Emperor Xuantian revealed the whole story, everyone present immediately became solemn.

The three emperors of the Hun Tian Clan were particularly displeased. Their Hun Tian Clan had not had an emperor since the previous generation.

Now that three clan elders have been lost, how could he not be filled with shock and anger?

"What on earth is going on? We will not allow anyone to provoke us!" the Annihilation Emperor roared, his eyes bloodshot with rage.

The Human Emperor hesitated before proposing, "Why don't we use our imperial authority to connect with the world's will and rewind the time that was blocked? There should be no higher authority than the combined power of the eleven of us!"

The Demon Emperor lamented, "It's a pity we lack the Void Emperor, which results in incomplete authority. Otherwise, by condensing the status of a World Lord, we would surely be able to see through everything!"

"What worries me more is whether the prophecy left by the Yuan Emperor will come true. Is the disappearance of many previous emperors a sign of the Creator's resurgence?" the Dragon Emperor said with a wary expression.

The Qilin Emperor then spoke up: "Indeed! There are far too many emperors being born now, perhaps far exceeding the Creator's expectations. Therefore, in order to reduce the number of previous emperors, the Creator has taken action against them!"

"Discussing these things now is pointless. Only by finding the mastermind behind this can we uncover the truth!" Phoenix said solemnly.
After the phoenix spoke, the others exchanged glances. Then, the marks between their brows, representing the throne, suddenly lit up.

A vast and glorious will descended upon this place. Upon seeing this, the Xuan Tian Emperor's gaze also turned solemn as he watched the emerging illusory image of the Emperor's throne gradually merge with it.

In a daze, all the myriad paths of heaven and earth fell into chaos. As the positions of many emperors merged, all the myriad paths of heaven and earth rearranged and recombined, and supreme power emerged, suppressing all laws and shaking the universe.

This terrifying force gradually expanded outwards, its immense pressure radiating throughout the entire Hengyu Great World.

At this moment, countless beings within the Hengyu Great World were forced to kneel on the ground by this oppressive force.

No one could muster the thought of resistance. Even those who were arrogant and tried to resist were crushed into blood and gore by this irresistible power of the Great Dao.

The lessons of the past have filled people with terror.

"What on earth is going on? Could it be that an emperor has appeared in the world?"

"Indeed! Ancient records state that only emperors possess the power to suppress all spirits and sweep across the vast universe!"

"Since the ancient war between gods and demons, all emperors have vanished. What does their reappearance signify?"

"Has the world changed? The格局 of the world is about to change!"

"."

Those royal families who have a contemporary emperor are not worried at all about causing unforeseen changes.

After all, their ancestors were beings who stood at the pinnacle of all the heavens and myriad realms, so why should they fear any changes?

They were even overjoyed, hoping for the return of their ancestors.

At this moment, within the small world created by the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, Ying Zheng, who used his imperial status to shield himself, also sensed that vast movement.

Ying Zheng looked toward the core of the world, and in a trance, all the myriad paths of heaven and earth recombine and rearrange, revealing a vast and boundless power.

This power is somewhat similar to the Sun Dao originally controlled by Donghuang Taiyi, but it is also very different, as if it is missing something and has not been fully sublimated.

Besides this, there should also be the fact that the throne he holds has not yet been returned to him.

Indeed, it is the throne of emperors upon whom Donghuang Taiyi entrusts his Dao fruit. If they are completely united, it will evolve into the path that Donghuang Taiyi is currently walking.

Ying Zheng was completely absorbed in the moment, vaguely sensing the current path of Donghuang Taiyi, and finally murmured, "The Great Dao of Primordial Beginning?"

"You have indeed begun to refine the myriad paths and put them into practice!" Ying Zheng sighed leisurely.

Ying Zheng understood the vastness of the Primordial Dao he had just sensed.

Although the incompleteness of the emperor's position resulted in a sense of incompleteness in the Primordial Dao, which had not been fully sublimated.

But Donghuang Taiyi's ambition still surprised Ying Zheng: "As expected of the former Donghuang of the demon race. Moreover, your ambition is not only to forge your own path, but also to resurrect your brother!"

At this moment, Ying Zheng's expression was somewhat complicated. Currently, the one who holds most of the power in the demon realm is his sister, Nuwa.

Although Nuwa also used the Demon Summoning Banner, a treasure of the demonic path, to control power, if the Demon Emperor Jun were to return...

Even if Nuwa wields the Demon-Summoning Banner, she can at most rival the Demon Emperor Jun.

After all, the Demon Emperor was originally the ambitious Demon Emperor Jun, who wanted to devour the Great Dao evolved from the Human Dao.

Although they ultimately failed, the demonic path was still enough to contend with the three thousand great paths.

In addition, the evolution of the demon race over the years has led to the growth of the demon path, which is now no less powerful than the Great Dao of the Heavens.

However, Donghuang Taiyi's desire to revive the demon emperor Jun is impossible without his sister's permission.

It seems that he didn't need to make the decision; Nuwa had already made it.

Ying Zheng was quite curious as to why Nuwa acted in this way.

This may involve the path after reaching the Hunyuan Wuji realm, which he cannot explore at present.

The priority right now is to fulfill the promise made to Donghuang Taiyi.

Just as Ying Zheng was pondering, he used the incomplete position of the world's ruler to issue an edict with the power of the emperor: "Time reversal, the shield of years, break!"

In an instant, time reversed, and all the events that had happened in the entire Hengyu Great World could not escape their discerning eyes.

Even the period of time that was concealed by Ying Zheng's will of the Primordial Chaos was laid bare before them.

Seeing Ying Zheng appear, easily suppressing the previous emperor with a flick of his palm, and even seizing the throne of the Void Emperor, making him his mount.

These events were enough to terrify all emperors.

The reason they possess the power to control all the laws of heaven and earth and become the strongest beings in the world is because they hold the position of emperor.

If the throne can be easily taken away, how can those who have fallen from power resist?
They could also sense that Ying Zheng's power was at most one level above theirs.

Even so, it was enough to shock and excite them.

"The twelve emperors have already reached their full potential, how could such a being have been born!"

"Could it be that this being possesses a method to bypass the throne of an emperor and condense the Dao Fruit?"

"."

These words stirred ambition and greed in everyone's hearts, including the Xuan Tian Emperor.

The previous emperors surrounding Emperor Xuantian could also perceive the scenes of time travel. Their decaying hearts throbbed with life.

After all, since relinquishing their imperial status, they have always sought a way to complete their Dao fruit.

If they could truly condense the Dao Fruit, they might regain the power they once possessed, the power to command the heavens and suppress the universe. How could this not tempt them? (End of Chapter)
