Traveling across the globe for the first time

Zhang Haoran strode forward and instantly arrived beside the Heavenly Emperor, unleashing a powerful and heavy sword strike.

Zheng!
A crisp sword rang out, and a black mark was slashed through the reinforced space.

The Heavenly Emperor, not to be outdone, swung his sword and unleashed his full power, his sixth-tier high-level blood energy clashing in mid-air...

boom!
A powerful shockwave swept outwards, creating layers of air currents.

The Heavenly Emperor's expression immediately changed drastically.

"Damn it!"

He hadn't expected Zhang Haoran to be so strong, able to fight him to a standstill.

He simply couldn't suppress the aftershocks of this battle. The seal he had set up earlier focused more on reinforcing the space to prevent the small world from collapsing, and the strength of the seal on the aura was insufficient.

It's likely that the scene of their battle will be projected onto the outside world, letting everyone know about the changes taking place within the boundary, including the emperor in the Nine Heavens.

Click, click, click!
Spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the surrounding space, and the aura of the two fighting could no longer be concealed.

boom!
The violent aura broke through the blockade, transforming into a streak of light that shot straight into the sky, reflecting the scene of the two battles onto the Three Realms. Deep within the Heavenly Tomb, two tall figures were projected, representing two peak experts locked in combat.

The mere aura emanating from it made even the Heavenly King feel weak in the knees. The already dangerous Heavenly Tomb had now become a forbidden zone. Let alone breaking through to the eighth level, even breaking through to the ninth level now meant certain death for anyone who dared to venture into the boundary.

This is only a partial reflection of the atmosphere; the actual battle zone is so vast that even emperors cannot approach it.

As the battle intensified, more and more of their auras were released, and their figures grew taller and taller, eventually reaching the sky and standing upright after a few breaths.

Not to mention the emperors in the Nine Heavens, even some islands in the Forbidden Sea can see these two figures, and even martial artists in the underground caves can see their vague outlines.

Everyone knows that deep within the Heavenly Tomb, two incredibly powerful individuals are locked in a fierce battle. These two are towering figures, one wielding a sword and the other a knife, and they are currently engaged in close combat.

What shocked the people of the Three Realms even more was that they recognized the person wielding the sword—it was the Sword Master!
No one expected him to improve so quickly; the aura he exuded was comparable to that of the Human Emperor in the lower realm at that time.

The emperors in the Nine Heavens were visibly shaken, for they recognized the other person they were fighting as the Heavenly Emperor.

The key is that the opponent's momentum is extremely strong. Even if you tie all nine of them together, they still wouldn't be a match for them.

The God Emperor's face was so dark it was almost dripping with water. He could no longer maintain his indifferent state. His eyes flashed with a fierce light as he gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't what's inside the boundary point a projection? Why is its strength so great?"
"Then who is now in the center of the source area?"

The other emperors looked at the tall, illusory figure with grim expressions. Clearly, they had been tricked. With the Heavenly Emperor's strength, there was no need for him to feign compliance with them. The so-called suppression of the source land was nothing more than using them as tools.

Their various schemes over the past tens of thousands of years may be seen by others as nothing more than clowns performing acrobatics.

This left everyone both shocked and indignant. It turned out that all these years, the Heavenly Emperor had been toying with them. Some hot-tempered emperors were furious and wanted to fight the Heavenly Emperor, but they didn't have the courage.

It's estimated that they'll be killed by the aftershocks of the battle as soon as they rush over.

Everyone remained silent. Dou Tiandi remained relatively calm and managed to suppress his emotions as he analyzed, "That couldn't possibly be a projection!"

Don't forget, the boundary was created by the Heavenly Emperor; perhaps the true body is hidden inside, while the one suppressing the source is merely an avatar.

"impossible!"

This time, it was the Spirit Emperor who spoke. Her tone was unusually resolute. The Spirit Emperor initially loved the Heavenly Emperor, but after suffering for tens of thousands of years, she gradually turned her love into hatred. She knew the Heavenly Emperor best and was certain that the one at the center of the source land was the true body.

She said coldly, "The Heavenly Emperor is indeed very powerful. Even if all of us combined, we still can't beat him. But he is still a king and hasn't broken through to the next level."

Even if he has the means to deceive us, he can't deceive the seeds.

The purpose of the seed is clear to everyone; if it truly were an extension of the source, it would have told us long ago.

The seeds actually hope that the emperors will fight each other; if one dies, it's one less, and the less one there is, the less burden it will bear.

"That's right!"

The Human Emperor also confirmed: "The Heavenly Emperor's main body is still in the center of the source land; the clones are only within the boundary point."

But I don't understand why the clone is stronger than the original body, and by such a large margin?

He is the second-generation protector of the Seed and also has an energy channel, so he knows that the Heavenly Emperor cannot be kept in the dark from the Seed.

"The Method of Spiritual Reincarnation!"

The Western Emperor and the Southern Emperor voiced their guesses almost simultaneously. They had been monitoring the Three Realms and were no strangers to Mo Wenjian. Jiang Hao was now a Heavenly King, so he was naturally a key target of their observation. His relationship with Mo Wenjian could not be kept secret at all.

Even the emperor had studied this secret technique and made an astonishing discovery. This was a secret that even Mo Wenjian himself did not know: under certain conditions, the reincarnated body could absorb the original body, or you could say it was a fusion.

Because the newly emerging individuals will possess the cultivation and memories of two people simultaneously, but since they were originally separated from one person, the potential risks after merging will not be too great.

This is also why the emperor sends clones to the boundary point. They also want to improve their strength through fusion, but the main body should be the primary focus, and no one wants to be replaced by a clone.

I never expected the Heavenly Emperor to have such courage to cultivate such a powerful reincarnation!
The God Emperor glanced at the two towering figures in the sky with a complicated expression, then looked at the other emperors and said, "Regardless of which one is the real me."

Shouldn't we take advantage of the fact that the Heavenly Emperor is being held back by the Sword Master and eliminate the one in the center of the current location first?

"By using that energy to fill the hole, perhaps we still have a chance to escape."

Everyone understood what the Divine Emperor meant: killing the Heavenly Emperor alone would not be enough to fill the hole; otherwise, they would have already joined forces and killed the Heavenly Emperor.

However, this time we're going to risk our lives. If one or two more emperors die, then it'll be pretty much over.

Most importantly, the two people currently fighting are enemies of theirs. No matter who wins, they will not benefit. This is their last chance to escape.

Having been tricked by the Heavenly Emperor for so many years, they all wanted to vent their anger.

The reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor has now encountered a formidable foe. Judging from the projected images, the two are evenly matched. Under such circumstances, he will inevitably rely on the power of his original body. As long as they can hold off or even kill the original body, the reincarnation is doomed today!
This was the choice made by several emperors. They were not afraid of a hot-blooded and impulsive young man like Zhang Haoran winning, but they were very afraid of a super old silver coin like the Heavenly Emperor surviving.

As long as they take action against the Heavenly Emperor, they are demonstrating their stance. Although they cannot be considered allies, they are still taking sides.

Even if humans later settle accounts with them for the karma they have accumulated over the years, they will take this into account and treat them leniently.

If the Heavenly Emperor wins, they will have no way to survive. They will likely be completely drained and devoured, with no chance of resurrection.

The emperors were all seasoned veterans, and they quickly analyzed the pros and cons.

As expected of the Divine Emperor's lackey, the Southern Emperor remained loyal to this day, immediately echoing, "The Divine Emperor is right! No matter what the battle situation is like on the other side of the boundary, we should kill the Heavenly Emperor in the center of the Origin Land first." His tone was full of resentment, with a hint of anger and embarrassment.

They always considered themselves chess players, manipulating all living beings in the three realms, but in the end, they were played like clowns for tens of thousands of years.

Suddenly being transformed from a flag bearer into a pawn has left several emperors questioning their existence. If they don't vent their anger today, they might die with regrets.

"Hahaha!"

Donghuang suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly, almost hysterically. He said with a ferocious expression, "I warned you long ago that there might be a problem with the loopholes in the source land and that we should investigate it thoroughly, but you just wouldn't believe me and focused all your energy on the immortal source and the seed."

How big must this hole be that nine emperors couldn't fill it even after tens of thousands of years?
It seems the energy we had drained has been used to aid the enemy, and has even spawned this monster.

Yes, in the eyes of several emperors now, the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor is already a monster.

The Heavenly Emperor at the center of the original location only had 300 million units of energy, so they still had a chance to fight back. But that reincarnated body was a monster to them.

Those are high-level cultivators from the Sixth Street, with over 700 million units of Qi and Blood. They could easily take down any of them with a single punch. Even if they self-destructed, they wouldn't be able to harm them.

Such an enemy filled all emperors with despair.

At this moment, the Northern Emperor was like a wounded beast, his eyes bloodshot, gritting his teeth as he said, "No, we still have a chance. The Sword Master and that old man are evenly matched, and it won't be easy to determine a winner. As long as we kill the Heavenly Emperor first, we will have a chance to break free from our restraints."

"boom!"

A fierce burst of energy erupted, and the aura of an emperor suppressed the three realms.

The Northern Emperor charged madly toward the center of the source land...

He suffered the most shock and has become somewhat mentally unstable. He turned his own daughter into a life seed in order to break free from the constraints of the source, but he never expected it to end like this. Even if he dies the next moment, he must break free from the constraints first, which has become an obsession in his heart.

The other emperors exchanged glances and immediately followed suit; killing the Heavenly Emperor was their only chance.

This isn't about breaking free from constraints, but about redeeming oneself through meritorious service. If you don't choose a side now, you'll miss your chance!

Even if we freed them immediately, what good would it do? Could they escape the Three Realms?

Given the strength Zhang Haoran and his companion have demonstrated, no matter where they flee to, they could be easily found and killed.

This is the first time the emperors have been so united. Even when they joined forces with the seeds to force the Heavenly Emperor to return and suppress the source land, they were not this united.

At that time, the Spirit Emperor was in love with the Heavenly Emperor, and the Eastern Emperor could not bear to be ruthless towards his teacher. The other emperors were afraid of being dragged down with him, and each had their own plans. Otherwise, the Heavenly Emperor at that time would definitely not have been able to withstand the combined forces of the nine emperors.

Unexpectedly, after tens of thousands of years of scheming and plotting against each other, they still had to fight the Heavenly Emperor in the end.

If only I had known then what I know now!

"Hahaha! How could the slaying of the Heavenly Emperor be complete without me? Count me in!"

A hearty laugh echoed through the heavens and earth. Then, a tall figure emerged from the secret realm, raised his hand, tore through the nine heavens, stepped into the Origin Land, and followed the God Emperor and others, heading towards the depths of the Origin Land.

The newcomer was none other than the Earth Emperor. He had faked his death to escape and had been hiding in the Three Realms for tens of thousands of years, all so that one day he could kill the Heavenly Emperor.

Now that the Nine Emperors are about to surround and kill the Heavenly Emperor, he certainly wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.

The Earth Emperor's laughter was hearty, but his heart was heavy.

He originally intended to continue hiding until he could cultivate a chosen one capable of defeating the Heavenly Emperor, but now that his reincarnated body's strength has been exposed, he knows that there is no point in hiding any longer.

Even if the plan is perfect, and even if one sacrifices oneself to pave the way for Fang Ping, at most one can cultivate a strong person who can fight against the Heavenly Emperor, but he will definitely not be a match for the reincarnated body. More than 700 million calories of blood energy is like a mountain, enough to crush all the strong people in the Three Realms.

In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trick is just a cloud.

The Divine Emperor and the others were not surprised by the appearance of the Second Emperor, as if they already knew he was not dead and that he would not miss this last opportunity.

Now that the nine emperors have gathered, along with the Dou Tian Emperor, the ten emperors have joined forces to attack the depths of the original location.

The ten emperors unleashed their power simultaneously, their aura shaking the heavens and earth, causing all the creatures within the cave to tremble in fear.

The only ones still able to stand under this oppressive force were the group of powerful individuals that Zhang Haoran saw when he traveled through time.

Let's go back to before the outbreak of the great war.

Fang Ping, full of vigor, led a group of powerful human warriors toward the Heavenly Tomb. This time, he did not take the human warriors into the Battle Heaven Palace, but brought them with him on the journey, mainly to bolster their morale.

Since several supreme experts are protecting them, these people won't be in any danger. It's a good opportunity for them to experience the perils of the Heavenly Tomb, which can also be considered a kind of training.

He took out a map from his pocket, looked at it for a while, and then said loudly, "Everyone, we'll be at Tianfen in a little while."

We are all martial artists, we all want to become stronger, and no one wants to be a burden to others.

Now is the chance.

Within the boundary point lies an opportunity for you to quickly become stronger. As long as you are willing to work hard and are not afraid of death, you can soar to great heights.

This is the last chance!
I hope you can all become Heavenly Kings, or even break through to the eighth level of power, and fight alongside me.

After delivering a passionate speech, Fang Ping waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go!"

He had just lifted his leg, and before he could even take a step, a loud boom resounded. Above the boundary not far away, two towering phantoms appeared, their auras so powerful that many True God Emperors were forced to the ground.

The Heavenly King's body swayed precariously, barely managing to stay upright. Only the strongest could withstand this oppressive force, and this was only a fraction of the power it was projecting.

The expressions of the several supreme experts changed drastically, and they simultaneously unleashed their blood energy to protect everyone.

War King Jiang Tianming scrambled to his feet in fear, staring at the towering figure in the distance. He said with lingering apprehension, "Is this what an Emperor is? He's truly terrifying! I couldn't withstand that pressure alone. No wonder only Heavenly Kings could participate in the previous great battle."

When the great battle broke out, those of them who were not strong enough to be Heavenly Kings were all imprisoned in the Battle Heaven Palace and had never felt the aura of an Emperor. They only heard that the battle was very fierce. Now they realized how big the gap was between them and Emperors. The aura they exuded alone made it impossible for them to stand, let alone fight.

Fang Ping's expression was extremely strange, a mixture of shock, resentment, and above all, unwillingness. He said in a low voice, "That's not an emperor!"
If all the emperors are this strong, then what's the point of us fighting?

Doesn't this look familiar to you?
Look closely, the phantom figure is wearing a martial arts uniform, and it even has the Magic Martial Arts School emblem embroidered on it. (End of Chapter)
