A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 618 The Holy Emperor of Taiyin
The Supreme Emperor who was originally standing next to the Taiyin Emperor instantly dispersed after sensing an immense terror. He stared in fright at the palm filled with Taiyin essence, watching the constantly leaping imperial light, his heart filled with horror.

A supreme ruler wielding an eternal blue-gold shield swallowed hard, his face filled with astonishment and disbelief. "This is... Imperial Light?! Impossible! How could something like Imperial Light appear in the hands of a human being and be wielded by them? This is utterly outrageous!"

An extremely powerful emperor who had studied at Yunshan Academy replied with absolute certainty, "This is indeed the Emperor's Light. I was fortunate enough to meet Ancestor Yunding once. Although the Emperor's Light on him was completely different from this radiance filled with the majesty of the Taiyin, the two were indeed at the same level in my perception."

Upon hearing this, the dozens of Supreme Emperors who still had the power to fight, as well as the Supreme Emperors who were lying dead on the Mythical Battlefield but still had consciousness, couldn't help but tremble slightly in their hearts.

As everyone knows, if one can generate Emperor Light from within, it means either their own foundation has already touched the realm of Emperor, thus undergoing a spontaneous transformation; or they have already forged their own path in the King realm and reached its peak, attempting to break through from King to Emperor. Either way, they are currently untouchable immortal beings.

So, this supreme emperor who cultivated the Taiyin Dao was also, like Shili, "reincarnated" into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, attempting to seize the Heavenly Heart Mark?
No, it cannot be said to be like the passing of time.

Having developed his own cultivation system, and having already reached the realm of the Emperor's Path or even attempted to break through to become an Emperor, the Emperor Light Immortal King is far more powerful than Shi Li, an Immortal King whose "previous life" did not possess the flawless Immortal King Dao Fruit.

According to their lineage, the Emperor Light Immortal King is the pinnacle of the King Realm, and these beings are even undergoing a transformation towards the Supreme Realm. Let alone an Immortal King with a flawed or incomplete Dao Fruit, even a powerful Immortal King could be defeated with the flick of a wrist.

As Shi Li gazed at the imperial light in the hands of the Taiyin Emperor, his expression gradually became blank, and his face slowly became distorted.

The next moment, he roared, "Imperial Light! I don't believe it! I don't believe this is real! This must be some kind of special secret technique that has blinded my senses!"

"A Celestial King who generates Emperor Light through his own inherent foundation, or who has attempted to break through from King to Emperor, is only a matter of time and accumulation away from becoming a Supreme Dao Ancestor. Why would he need to 'reincarnate' in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to compete for the Heart of Heaven?!"

"You must have used some special secret technique to deceive my senses!"

In shock and rage, Shi Li unleashed his ultimate divine power, channeling it all into the scythe in his hand. He then unleashed a powerful immortal killing technique, wielding it towards the Taiyin Emperor. The scythe, sharp enough to pierce through the level of a supreme True Immortal, revealed a terrifying power belonging to an Immortal King artifact, and unleashed a killing force approaching that of a Quasi-Immortal King.

Looking at Shi Li, who seemed to have fallen into madness, the Taiyin Emperor also showed a hint of astonishment. He never expected that after borrowing a wisp of imperial light from the past, it would actually stimulate this "reincarnated" immortal king into such a state.

According to normal developments, after seeing this ray of imperial light, shouldn't the Immortal King Shili have taken the initiative to retreat, and then easily seized the Heavenly Heart and ruled over the universe?

As this terrifying immortal attack approached, the Taiyin Emperor did not hesitate any longer. He immediately followed his subconscious intuition and sent the wisp of Taiyin Emperor Light in his palm toward himself.

Without the sound of collision, and without the aftershocks of the collision between "law" and "way", under the mercury-like brilliance of the Taiyin Emperor Light, the darkness that accompanied the terrifying immortal attack of the Immortal King's artifact was like being driven away by a lamp, and was completely dispelled without any resistance, eliminating all forces that were harmful to itself.

"call"

A gentle breeze swept through the center of the Mythical Battlefield, brushing past every Supreme Emperor on the battlefield, sending chills down their spines. It caused the Immortal King Shili to feel a sense of disorientation, and froze all the operating Immortal King formations on the Mythical Battlefield, turning the entire battlefield into a frozen wasteland filled with the deep, cold light of the Taiyin Divine Light.

The power of the Emperor Light Immortal King has completely exceeded the world's understanding of the King Realm.

Before this, no matter how much they imagined or fantasized, they could not be sure that a mere wisp of separated imperial light could completely obliterate the attack of the near-quasi-immortal king, making it disappear from the world, and incidentally turn the entire mythical battlefield into a deep, frozen wasteland.
-
Within the spiritual realm, in the spiritual universe where the council of kings is held.

The various Immortal Kings who were watching the current mythical battlefield instantly erupted into a commotion, discussing among themselves. They even showed amusement as they looked at the wisp of consciousness of the Immortal King Shili who had lost his mind.

Qingyue Immortal King chuckled softly, “It’s truly dramatic. His own consciousness avatar had just facilitated the implementation of a new charter at the meeting of kings, and it’s as if he had calculated everything perfectly and laid out a long-term plan. The Heavenly Heart Mark is about to be acquired, and he’s trying to obtain a wisp of the great fortune of the era.”

Star River Immortal King blinked, a slight smile playing on his lips. "The moment the Heavenly Secrets of the Spirit Realm were revealed, an Emperor Light Immortal King who had been 'reincarnated' long ago suddenly appeared, unleashing a wisp of 'past life' Emperor Light that swept across all directions."

Qinghao Immortal King also chuckled, “Fellow Daoist Shili, ‘Bitterly resenting the years of pressing gold thread, making wedding gowns for others.’ This seems quite fitting for the current situation.”

"But it's alright. According to you, the main thing is to give up the Immortal King Dao Fruit to start over and eventually regain the King Realm with a flawless Immortal King Dao Fruit. When you cultivate the Immortal King Dao Fruit of the 'Secret Realm Method' in the future, and have the 'Past Life' Dao Fruit preserved in the Immortal King Artifact as nourishment, you will probably be able to step into the level of an Immortal King giant very quickly."

"At that time, we will form a battle formation together to surround and kill those strange creatures deep in the [Spirit Realm]. After obtaining enough 'comprehension fragments,' we may also have the hope of breaking through from King to Emperor."

The consciousness of the Immortal King Shili remained vacant, staring blankly at the mythical battlefield. He showed no reaction to the subtly mocking remarks, and the "frozen" expression on his face was clearly visible.

While the many Immortal Kings were discussing and gossiping, several Immortal Kings with imperial light turned their gazes to the Mythical Battlefield, staring at the supreme emperor who cultivated the Taiyin Dao, their gazes silently carrying a hint of solemnity.

Those Immortal Kings who lack the power to emanate Imperial Light might not have a precise understanding of the level at which this Yin Imperial Light exists. Furthermore, knowing that within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths lies an unparalleled array covering the entire universe, encompassing the [Spirit Realm], and backed by over two thousand like-minded individuals, they don't place much importance on an unfamiliar Immortal King of Imperial Light who will undoubtedly join them in the future.

However, as fellow immortal kings who possessed imperial light, they couldn't help but pay attention to the intensity of this imperial light and what it represented.

The old man figure that the Cloud Cauldron Immortal King had conjured stood on the star he was on, with a hint of solemnity. "The cultivation system or evolution system that this Taiyin Emperor cultivated in his 'previous life' was already close to the level of the Supreme Dao Ancestor. If it weren't for the fact that this wisp of imperial light was incomplete and incomplete, I would have almost thought that this Supreme Emperor was the 'reincarnation' of a Supreme Being."

The Cloud Dragon Immortal King slowly nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, if it weren't for the fact that the laws displayed by this wisp of imperial light haven't fully transformed and reached the supreme level, I would also have thought that this Taiyin Emperor was the 'reincarnation' of some supreme being." After a pause, he continued, "This level of condensed imperial light gives me the feeling that I am already standing on the threshold of the supreme realm, and that I only need to extend it slightly to usher in a complete transformation, to completely break through from King to Emperor."

"What also surprised me was that this 'previous life' of the Taiyin Emperor seemed to have absolutely no intention of crossing this boundary."

"The 'Dao' and 'Dharma' that this wisp of imperial light faintly exudes show no trace of attempting to break through the King to become an Emperor. The fact that it possesses such a rich imperial light seems to be a result of the accumulation of a profound foundation, naturally condensed."

Jin Feng Immortal King toyed with an Immortal King artifact radiating imperial light in his hand and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Yunlong, I know your concerns and your suspicion that this person is a pawn placed by those strange beings 'outside the barrier'."

"Regardless of the 'past life' of this Taiyin Emperor, as long as he is a member of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he must have entered the observation range of the [Spirit Realm] and been known by the Emperor. Since he still exists now, has not been erased by the Emperor, and has not encountered the aversion of the Great Universe's will, then we do not need to worry too much."

"More than one Immortal Emperor has emerged from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; its waters run very deep."

As a Celestial King who specializes in weapon crafting and logistics and has cultivated the Emperor's Light, from Jin Feng's perspective, the entire universe and starry sky are filled with terrifying weapons that can cause even Quasi-Celestial Emperors to perish in those hard-to-find corners.

If they wanted to stir up chaos in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, no matter how many ordinary Quasi-Immortal Emperors came, they would probably all die.

Cloud Dragon Immortal King glanced at the calm-looking Golden Peak Immortal King, and his brows relaxed slightly.

As an Emperor Light Immortal King who was almost able to forge a supreme artifact, Yunlong still trusted the judgment of this Immortal King who specialized in artifact forging.

However, Yunlong still mentioned that "that burst of imperial light had an ancient aura, countless times older than the Immortal Ancient Era. I suspect it is even older than the legendary Emperor's Fall Era, and even comparable to the era when the 'Original True Explanation' was created."

Yun Ding looked slightly surprised. "Then this Taiyin Emperor might really be worth our special attention."

"In an era as ancient as the birth of the Original True Explanation, the 'Tao' and 'Dharma' he cultivated in his 'previous life' may open up a new direction for our enlightenment, and may also play a role in helping you to attain the supreme Tao Ancestor in the future."

Suddenly, the Moon Goddess slowly spoke, “The methods of this Taiyin Emperor’s ‘previous life’ should not be explored in depth, at least not before one has attained the status of Supreme Dao Ancestor.”

Yunlong looked at the Moon Goddess in surprise, "Fellow Daoist, have you figured something out?"

The Moon Goddess slowly closed her eyes, concealing the unsettling fluctuations of her faith. "The law of this Taiyin Emperor's 'previous life' involves the path of faith and divinity. However, the situation manifested by this path of faith and divinity is extremely chaotic and almost impossible to stabilize."

The Moon Goddess reopened her silvery-white divine eyes and stated her conclusion, "His 'previous life's' method was extremely dangerous, and the risks of cultivating it were comparable to the 'Return to One' method cultivated in my realm."

Several Emperor Light Immortal Kings fell silent, and even Cloud Cauldron Immortal King, a "Great Universe Enlightened Being" with the status of a [Great Universe] Primordial Saint, couldn't help but frown slightly.

The "Return to One Method" is now also referred to as the "Strange Method" by many Immortal Kings.

It is a terrifying cultivation system in which anyone who cultivates will inevitably face the crisis of "transformation into the Dao" at all times. And one's "identity" will change from "pursuer of the Dao" to "escapee", and one will need to constantly evade and seize every chance of survival as one is hunted by the "Dao" that is like a hunting dog.

Looking at the Taiyin Emperor on the mythical battlefield, who had already crossed the line of death and begun to merge with the Heavenly Heart, Qi Jing said thoughtfully, "An ancient cultivation system with a level of danger comparable to the 'Return to One Method,' no wonder that when he crossed that boundary and attained the status of the Supreme Dao Ancestor, it was also the moment of his complete demise."

"Fellow Daoist Nirvana, what do you think?"

Li Xiang pondered a divine talisman engraved with the ancient inscription "Mountains and Rivers," slowly raised his head, glanced at the several Emperor Light Immortal Kings, and said nonchalantly, "I'll sit and watch. Since this person's 'previous life' was an Immortal King, as long as he doesn't go astray in this life, returns to the King Realm, or even reclaims his past Dao Fruits, his lifespan will be at most a few million years."

"Once this Taiyin Emperor attains the Immortal King Dao Fruit using the 'Secret Realm Method,' I can just go and ask him myself. Why think about all this nonsense?"

Li Xiang glanced slowly at the Taiyin Emperor on the Mythical Battlefield, her tone tinged with regret, "Currently, his cultivation level is that of a Three-Life Emperor, but his Dao cultivation is only equivalent to the mid-stage of True Immortal, which is quite close to the late stage. It's a pity that if his Dao cultivation were a little higher, and he could completely cross the threshold of the late stage of True Immortal, he might be able to gain the recognition of a wisp of great fortune."

"Now, it's a real pity that we still need hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation and refinement for enlightenment, which is more than what an ordinary three-generation emperor would need."

"With the resources available in this era, it's not a problem to become a Celestial King using the 'Secret Realm Method' in the future. However, it will be difficult to open up a 'Sixth Secret Realm' with sufficient potential. Even if one first enters the level of a Celestial King giant using the 'Outer Heaven of Xuanhuang,' it will take a long time to accumulate foundation before there is any possibility of trying to open a path."
-
In the starry sky of the universe.

With the fusion of the Heavenly Heart Imprint, all the Great Daos and Laws began to be rearranged with "Taiyin" as the core.

Until a certain moment, a figure surrounded by faith and the power of the Taiyin Divine Realm entered the consciousness of all living beings, and the entire starry sky trembled slightly, as if welcoming this emperor who had ascended to the throne.

Taiyin Holy Emperor.
