Meanwhile, while Jiang Yun and Emperor Yi were locked in a life-or-death battle, the ancestral land was in complete chaos.

It was all because of the sudden disappearance of Emperor Yi, who vanished without a trace, that this place, which should have been dark and silent, underwent a new change.

As Immortal Emperors, also known as those at the end of the path, they are people who have reached the extreme on a certain path of evolution. Generally speaking, it is considered brilliant if a great world can give birth to one Dao Ancestor, and it takes countless Dao Ancestors to compete for a true Immortal Emperor to be born.

In fact, it is not guaranteed that a single sacrificial offering will give birth to a true Immortal Emperor; often, it takes several sacrificial offerings to give birth to one Immortal Emperor.

Even in a place like the Mysterious Ancestral Land of the Evil Earth Plateau, the number of Mysterious Immortal Emperors was only ten, never exceeding that number, even in the most glorious era.

Firstly, because the Mysterious Immortal Emperor is the replacement of the Ancestor, and the number of Ancestors always corresponds to the number of Ancestors. Secondly, because even someone as powerful as the Mysterious Immortal Emperor would be wiped out in an unimaginable battle, the number of people has always remained at ten.

In the last sacrificial cycle, a strange Immortal Emperor had already perished. That was during the most tragic final sacrifice of that sacrificial cycle. This sacrificial cycle, however, is only a million years old. Yet, a strange Immortal Emperor descended into the sacrificial sea and suddenly disappeared. One can imagine the upheaval this will cause on the ancestral land.

The remaining strange Immortal Emperors have almost all awakened. They are working together to deduce the whereabouts of the suddenly disappeared Emperor Yi Hu Dao Ren, which is an unimaginable event.

This was something that even these strange Immortal Emperors couldn't understand. A new sacrificial ceremony had just begun, and the strongest of them had only just stepped into the Immortal King level. How could strange things happen one after another, to the point that even the strange Immortal Emperors disappeared in the end?

These strange immortal emperors were not fools; they realized almost instantly that this was something that no living being in the world could do.

Rather, they were survivors of the previous grand sacrifice, or perhaps more than one Celestial Emperor who had been lying in wait before making a direct move; otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to act this way.

But this is somewhat unbelievable, because even if one or two Celestial Emperors had made arrangements, with so many strange Celestial Emperors working together to deduce the situation, there shouldn't be any unexpected events.

Moreover, the mysterious Immortal Emperor is difficult to kill completely. Even if he is killed, he can be resurrected on the ancestral land. Furthermore, battles at the Immortal Emperor level often shake space and time, making the heavens no longer peaceful.

How could a battle of that level be so silent that it could not be detected, and even the combined efforts of many strange immortal emperors could not deduce it?

This made the eerie Immortal Emperor frown in fear, feeling that a powerful force was secretly orchestrating everything within the Heavenly Sea Sacrifice, making them all feel a serious threat.

"Was it the Desolate Heavenly Emperor who made a move?"

Someone whispered, their voice tinged with fear, all because that figure from the past was so powerful that it inspired awe, managing to withstand the pursuit and interception of several strange Immortal Emperors.

He forcefully broke through to the Sacrifice Dao realm, and in the end, he severely injured the Ancestor, causing the Ancestor to remain dormant to this day.

"No, it can't be him. He's too badly injured; even several sacrificial spirits wouldn't be able to manifest a trace of him..."

Another eerie immortal emperor spoke, his voice like that of a vengeful ghost.

"If it wasn't him, who else could it be? In any case, strange things have been happening one after another, to the point that even a mysterious Immortal Emperor has disappeared without a trace..."

Battles at the Immortal Emperor level often last a long time, sometimes even spanning the entire lifespan of a sacrificial eon. This is because beings at this level must traverse a vast amount of time to find their opponents, deduce their location, lie in wait, launch their final attack, and ultimately determine the victor.

This situation should never happen under any circumstances. Even in the most ancient times, when a Celestial Emperor rose up among the heavens and laid an ambush outside the ancestral land, setting up a trap to hunt down the Strange Celestial Emperor, that Strange Celestial Emperor eventually succumbed to the attack and was pursued by an even stronger Strange Celestial Emperor, it was still not like this today.

"This matter has exceeded our ability to handle. Either there were a few survivors in the grand ceremony of the past who meticulously orchestrated this to achieve such an effect, or a powerful ritual expert beyond our comprehension has intervened..."

"We must awaken the progenitor. At the same time, with this event as a marker, from today onwards, this sacrificial ceremony should be considered to have reached its mid-stage."

“That makes sense. After all, there are already Immortal Kings among the heavens. In a few hundred thousand years at most, a Dao Ancestor should be born. And this is all under the condition that we can control it…”

"In the myriad realms, there must be unimaginable accidents that have occurred. Even if some of the newly born beings in the myriad realms have already reached the Dao Ancestor realm, I will not be surprised..."

After a discussion, the group of strange immortal emperors finally came to a conclusion. Then they all headed towards the depths of the Evil Earth Plateau, the most sacred place in their ancestral land, and knelt down in devout worship, before calling for the return of their ancestor.

However, before the ancestor could respond, a terrifying thunderbolt suddenly descended from another part of the Etu Plateau!

That fluctuation exceeded the limits that the Dao Ancestor could generate. At this moment, countless living beings on the Evil Land Plateau were shaken and looked up at the place where the lightning had descended. Even the powerful and mysterious Dao Ancestor felt his scalp tingle.

Because they had already recognized it as the true Celestial Emperor Tribulation. You must know that even though there are countless races and powerful figures on the Evil Land Plateau, those who can survive the Celestial Emperor Tribulation can be counted on one hand from ancient times to the present.

In the long river of time, who else has transcended and begun to undergo the tribulation of the Immortal Emperor?
Some were excited, believing that the ancestral land was indeed prosperous and would last for ten thousand generations; others were shocked, unable to imagine who it was; still others were thoughtful, or even sighed, because they had already guessed who was undergoing the tribulation of the Immortal Emperor.

The group of strange Immortal Emperors turned around in astonishment, looking in that direction. Then, someone couldn't help but exclaim in shock:

"Who is actually undergoing the tribulation of an Immortal Emperor?"

"Yes... Di Yi... he has finally taken this step..."

Another strange Immortal Emperor quickly confirmed it. Even so, he still found it somewhat unbelievable, after all, Emperor Yi's age was excessively young compared to the Immortal Emperor Tribulation.

"It was him, the last sacrificial emperor. If he hadn't been unable to overcome his inner demons and insisted on descending to the Sacrifice Sea to fight against others, resulting in an accident, he would probably have already faced the tribulation of becoming an Immortal Emperor..."

"Even so, it shouldn't be... No, that's not right. Di Yi already knows his protector has disappeared. The reason he's undergoing tribulation is because he wants to find him himself..."

Another strange Immortal Emperor cried out in surprise, immediately realizing what was happening. Then, all the Immortal Emperors, watching Emperor Yi undergo his Immortal Emperor Tribulation, couldn't help but become solemn. The ancestral land was vast and boundless, teeming with countless races. Even the greatest calamity couldn't possibly affect the entire Evil Land Plateau. But on this day, no one had expected Emperor Yi's Immortal Emperor Tribulation to be so terrifying; the endless lightning almost enveloped half of the Evil Land Plateau!
"That's truly amazing..."

"Such a calamity for a Celestial Emperor is rarely seen throughout history..."

"Very strong. After surviving this, another formidable figure will emerge from the ancestral land. This will make the drop of Immortal Emperor's true blood that I gave away in the past worthwhile..."

Some were sighing, while others were reminiscing. Moved by the scene, they all recalled the time when they had survived the tribulation of becoming an immortal emperor. However, it was at this moment that something even more unexpected and unimaginable happened.

In the place they worshipped, in the ancestral land where their progenitor slept, a more terrifying calamity of lightning suddenly descended!

"This……"

"How can it be……"

"who is it?"

"How can there still be beings undergoing the Celestial Emperor Tribulation, and such terrifying ones at that..."

The group of strange Immortal Emperors were utterly shocked. Their scalps tingled, and so did all the strange creatures. No one had expected that in this era, there would be two extraordinary figures undergoing the Immortal Emperor Tribulation together!
Di Yi was one thing; they knew his growth trajectory. While it was surprising that he had reached the Immortal Emperor level, it was still within reason. But how could there be another person who, without their knowledge, had also grown to this level?

They tried their best to deduce, but they couldn't find any trace of this person. It was as if this person didn't exist in this ancient history, or as if this person never existed at all, and it was all just their illusion.

However, the group of strange immortal emperors clearly saw a blurry figure resisting the incredibly powerful tribulation lightning that made them all feel their hearts pound. They tried their best, but they couldn't see who that person was. They could only see a blurry figure.

And it was at this very moment, in the place where living beings were undergoing their tribulation, in the place where the ancestral ancestors slept, that an ancient and weathered voice suddenly resounded:

"In this life, I fear there may be other unforeseen events..."

That was the voice of the ancestral ancestor. The moment the voice appeared, countless strange beings, including the strange immortal emperor, knelt down and worshipped in his direction. However, the voice only rang out once and then there were no further words.

After a long while, a cold and eerie wind swept by, and the eerie Immortal Emperors stood up. One of them looked at the figure in the depths of the ancestral land, amidst the vast thunder, who was about to successfully transcend the tribulation.

He was most skilled at deduction, and after the last grand ceremony, he personally went to the ancestral altar to preside over the sacrifice. He also personally paid homage to the ancestor. Therefore, by combining all the clues, he finally deduced part of the truth. Of course, this was also the ancestor's intention to tell all the immortal emperors through him.

His voice was low and slightly tinged with fear:

"This person... was the work of the progenitor..."

"His name is Ji Yi..."

On the ancestral land, two beings are simultaneously undergoing the tribulation of becoming Immortal Emperors, while in the hidden great world created by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, the great battle between Jiang Yun and Emperor Yi Hu Dao Ren has reached its final moment.

At this moment, Jiang Yun was coughing up blood. He was seriously injured, his entire body was smashed and covered with endless wounds. However, Emperor Yi, the protector, was even more seriously injured than him, and had even reached the point of exhaustion.

Unable to locate the eternal space-time, they were unable to draw power from the long river of time, losing the most important means of the Immortal Emperor. Now, the battle has reached this point, and they are relying entirely on the foundation within their own bodies. Emperor Yi's protector has obviously exhausted everything. He is also covered in blood, to the point that his physical body has completely collapsed, with only his head still trying to rebuild his body with great difficulty.

However, all of this was destined to be in vain, because he had exhausted everything. He had forcibly increased his combat power to the "Big Cat level" before, which was already a drain on his potential. Even if there were changes afterward, at this moment, he was powerless.

Only on that head, a pair of eyes were still staring intently at Jiang Yun, their gaze filled with boundless anger, regret, and hatred.

"Back then, I really should have just killed you..."

"Still too lenient..."

"Although I have been defeated today, my disciple Di Yi will surely kill you in the future to avenge me..."

The moment he saw the Desolate Emperor, he already knew his fate. Facing a powerful figure at the Heavenly Sacrifice Dao Realm, the Strange Immortal Emperor had no chance of survival. But he never imagined that an ant from the past could grow to this level in such a short time.

In the end, it was not the Desolate Heavenly Emperor who defeated him, but that former ant. How ironic that was, the other party had only just entered the Immortal Emperor realm, yet he was so powerful that he defeated him under relatively fair circumstances.

He knew very well that even if someone could truly mobilize the power of an Immortal Emperor and draw upon the power of countless ages to fight, he would most likely still be no match for this excessively young being, who was also excessively strong.

Therefore, he placed all his hopes on his disciple Di Yi. After such a long battle, Jiang Yun's body had been tainted with his aura. This aura was indelible. Others might not be able to detect it, but his disciple Di Yi would definitely be able to.

That's why, in the end, those words and that look came out.

Such a gaze was far too complex, but Jiang Yun simply ignored it. At this moment, he disregarded his injuries, wielding the intact Emperor Sword with the power to tear through space and time, drawing upon the power of the entire Great World, and then descended directly.

"Go and face the tribulation."

Jiang Yun responded with only one sentence. The next moment, Emperor Yi's head was split open and turned into ashes. Then, his wounded primordial spirit was about to soar into the sky, still trying to escape. Jiang Yun reached out his hand to completely annihilate him. However, at this moment, the Desolate Emperor appeared.

He grabbed the primordial spirit of the Di Yi Protector Daoist and imprisoned it in his hand, then looked at Jiang Yun and said:
"The Edo Plateau, the ancestral land, holds many secrets. Capturing him today will undoubtedly be of great use." (End of Chapter)
