In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 509 [Heroes of the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river]

Ye Fan, standing in the realm of gods, killed the Overlord with a single punch. His speed and ruthlessness were beyond everyone's imagination.

Even the few human sages standing on the side of the Overlord, who wanted to intervene, had no chance to do so.

No one expected that the Heavenly Tyrant Body couldn't even withstand a single blow from the Ancient Sacred Body.

"What happened to the agreement to compare them on equal footing, with each side having its own strengths and weaknesses?"

"The eternal record of the Holy Domination should not be a lie, right?"

The saints looked at each other, feeling a sense of unreality. The battle ended too quickly, and it didn't seem like an evenly matched contest at all, but rather a crushing defeat, as if they, as saints, were simply fighting a mortal cultivator.

Is the Overlord too weak?
No, if this were to be said out loud, Guan Cheng, the god, would be the first to object.

There is only one possibility: the Holy Body is too powerful!
"Perhaps, this era will produce the strongest Holy Body in history." The Great Sage Qinghuang's eyes shone brightly with anticipation as she said, "Breaking the ancient curse, the Holy Body becomes an Emperor, becoming the second Emperor..."

The great saints sighed in silence. Even the great saint Qi Tian looked ashen-faced, but did not make any further moves. With the death of the Overlord, all of their clan's investments had vanished.

Even if he wanted to retaliate, the other Great Saints of the human race would absolutely not allow it. Ye Fan's potential was too terrifying, completely rewriting the landscape of the ancient human path.

What Emperor Heaven, what Human King, what Great Demon God, all became mere candidates, and the Holy Body became the first-order supreme being on the ancient path of humanity!

This news swept across the four seas and eight wastelands like a storm, spreading to all the heavens and myriad realms. The supreme human race is about to be born, who will stand proudly above the nine heavens and ten earths, competing with the supreme races for the throne of this era.

Despite being at the center of the storm, Ye Fan remained focused, immersed in the mysteries of the divine restriction, attempting to master this state.

The divine prohibition defies the heavens, and the secret of the word "all" is even more extraordinary. The ancient Heavenly Court Emperor collected the nine secrets and combined them into one, using this secret as the core of the general outline.

Therefore, the other eight secrets can resonate with the nine secrets, and the more of the nine secrets one masters, the greater the probability of triggering the "All" secret.

Ten times the physical body, ten times the primordial spirit, ten times the combat power, ten times the speed, all stacked up one by one, and there is also the most terrifying ten times the enlightenment!
"Only ancient emperors could reside permanently in the Divine Forbidden Zone. No wonder they regarded the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven as ants."

"Between the Great Emperor and the Quasi-Emperor, there should be another realm, a different kind of attainment of Dao!"

Ye Fan's every step brought a new world, and the profound meanings of various scriptures manifested within him, all merging into one and transforming into his own scriptures. Boundless phenomena appeared, completely stabilizing his alternative path to sainthood, allowing him to break through to the next level at any time.

The next second, a fierce wind and thunder roared, golden energy surged, and Ye Fan instinctively performed the Dao, subconsciously unleashing a shocking punch that exuded a powerful aura that suppressed the eternal blue sky.

This punch merged with the universe, with the moon and sun dancing together, chaotic energy surging, and six black holes manifesting, directly blasting towards Lord Lin.

Chaos opens the heavens, the Holy Body strikes!
"Boom!"

Lin Xian's expression changed slightly. He spread his ten fingers wide, and golden light shone in all directions. He used the Source Master's divine technique to guide the source of the Dao in his hand, transforming it into an endless domain field. Immortal energy surged, and one seal after another fell.

This is a Saint King-level technique, the Seven Forbidden Restrictions of Immortal Sealing. Even the patriarchs of all ages could only reach this level. The profound mysteries in the Origin Heaven Book, except for a few major trends involving reincarnation and ascension to immortality, were all comprehended by Lin Xian.

The so-called source of the Tao is also a source!

With a cracking sound, a dazzling celestial light emanated from the source of the Dao, which shattered into countless fragments scattered throughout the world. The immortal divinity exploded, disintegrating into countless pieces.

"Prodigal!"

"Don't give it to me!"

Upon seeing this, the saints in the starry sky immediately beat their chests and clenched their teeth in anger, for they had never seen anyone waste such a divine object of this level.

If they obtain this source of the Dao, they can instantly become Saint Kings, their cultivation will be elevated to the Ninth Heaven, and they can be called Heavenly Kings, with a bright and boundless future.

On the path to becoming an emperor, another prodigy, Di Tian, ​​gained the approval of the Source of the Dao, which was considered a great fortune. Even if he could not become an emperor in the future, he would at least be a high-level quasi-emperor.

“If it cannot be used by me, even if it is the source of the Dao, it is nothing but waste.”

Lin Xian sneered and pointed his finger, summoning an endless rain of flowers. The flowers, carrying fragments of the boundless source of the Dao, transformed into beams of light that flew towards Ye Fan, attacking the small world created by the creation of the world!

With a hum, as if the universe had exploded, the source of the Dao transformed into wisps of auspicious energy, covering the entire Divine Minor Realm.

In an instant, the once desolate little world was suddenly showered with spiritual energy, oceans formed, land rose, and it was filled with endless life force, evolving towards a primordial chaos.

"This...this is a technique only the Great Sage possesses!"

"The creation of heaven and earth—this is the foundation upon which a great sect is founded!"

Countless cultivators went mad for it, their eyes burning with fervor. On the Emperor's Path, there were geniuses attempting to attain the Dao, but most sought only the Dao Fruit of a Saint or a Saint King, which would satisfy them completely.

This method of creating the universe and blessing the race is so powerful that it drives people mad.

"Senior Ye, is this kind of supernatural power also among the teachings you impart?"

A young man named Rui Wei called out loudly, his eyes shining with hope. He was dressed very thinly, without the Immortal Golden Armor, and his cultivation was only at the Dao Severing stage. He was an anomaly on the ancient star road. Most of the cultivators who could reach the first level were half-saints or saints.

Rui Wei did not come to seek enlightenment. His main purpose in embarking on the ancient star road was to find a life-giving ancient star for his people, because their chaotic small world was running out of energy and was about to be destroyed.

Those truly qualified to contend for the Emperor's Path come from powerful and glorious stars, such as the Big Dipper, Ziwei, Honghuang, Huosang, Tongtian, and Yongheng... these ancient life-bearing planets.

The creatures of this small world are humble, not seeking glory, but only praying for the continuation of their race.

The existence of the Heavenly Court is an oppression for the strong, but a salvation for the weak.

"The method of opening the heavens and transmitting the Dharma is only qualified for cultivators who have joined the Heavenly Court to learn."

Lin Xian said calmly, "And it requires five million Heavenly Emperor Coins to exchange."

"Heavenly Emperor Coins?"

"What is that? I've never heard of it."

"It seems to be the currency used for transactions by the Eternal Fleet. Do they also belong to the Heavenly Court?"

The saints discussed it animatedly, showing great curiosity about the Heavenly Emperor's Coins, and then inquired whether they could be exchanged for divine resources, immortal gold, and rare treasures.

"Impossible. Even if you find the Harmony Flower, you still have to exchange it for Heavenly Emperor Coins before you can buy Heavenly Court goods."

"This is the unified settlement currency, and it will remain unchanged for all eternity unless the Heavenly Court collapses!"

Lin Xian spoke with a powerful voice, leaving many saints bewildered, unable to understand why the Heavenly Court would do something so pointless and unnecessary.

They may be skilled in cultivation, but when it comes to financial matters, they are all idiots, still stuck at the level of plundering by force.

Military plunder is simple and brutal, but time-consuming and laborious. However, once financial plunder is established, and the Heavenly Emperor's currency, Ye Datou, is deeply ingrained in people's minds, then all the races of the heavens will vie to contribute their resources to the Heavenly Court. "There's never a better way to make money than running a bank..."

Ye Fan clicked his tongue. Back in the day, he was driving a Mercedes-Benz, running a startup, and was a powerful CEO in the city. If it weren't for the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin breaking his fate, perhaps another financial tycoon would have emerged on Earth.

Of course, Ye Dizun is the same now, except that he has expanded his bank from Earth to the entire universe.

"But this boy is a bit strange?"

Ye Fan stepped into the forbidden realm of gods, ethereal as an immortal, and Ling Jue, seemingly a deity, was extremely perceptive. He discovered that the seemingly innocent boy had demonic energy within him, as if he had two souls, one of which was nearly destroyed.

This state reminded Ye Fan of an old senior, Dongfang Taiyi, who went mad from practicing martial arts, becoming a god by day and a demon by night, killing to the extreme, to the point of being utterly ruthless and indiscriminate.

"I want to join the Heavenly Court!"

Young Rui Wei said excitedly that if he could learn this supernatural power, he could ensure the continuation of his race and become the ancestor of his race's revival.

Similar to Rui Wei's situation, there are many in the myriad realms. Many saints yearn to save their home planet and choose to join the Heavenly Court.

However, not just anyone can enter the Heavenly Court; at least, it requires someone like Guan Cheng, a promising candidate with the potential to become a Great Sage.

Despite giving his all and even using some demonic techniques during the competition to demonstrate strength beyond his own level, Rui Wei, who was of average talent, was quickly defeated by other young Great Sages. He sighed helplessly, feeling utterly dejected. The greatest pain in the world is to give hope and then have it shattered.

"I will definitely find a suitable place for my people to live..."

Rui Wei muttered to herself, then stumbled out of the city gate, intending to go to other star paths to find an opportunity to save her world.

Then, Ruiwei saw Ye Fan and Lin Xian at the city gate.

"Rui Wei pays respects to the Emperor and the Holy King." Rui Wei's heart tightened, and he stepped forward nervously to pay his respects. For cultivators like them, Lin Xian, who suppressed the Overlord, was already a top-tier powerhouse in the universe.

Moreover, Ye Fan, with his unparalleled talent on the path to becoming an emperor, is a potential future great emperor and a legend in the mythical realm.

"You are not Ruiwei."

Ye Fan frowned slightly, circulated his primordial spirit power, and pressed, "The soul within your body is almost extinguished. It is dominated by the demonic primordial spirit. You are a different person."

"What kind of demonic being are you? Speak!"

"I am not, I am Ruiwei." Ruiwei's expression changed drastically, and she was very flustered. She kept muttering, "I am Ruiwei... I am willing to die for my people. I want to find a habitable planet."

"I am not a demon, I am Ruiwei!"

This attitude is incredibly clumsy, practically schizophrenic, and an admission of guilt.

"The path of humanity is boundless, the path of immortality is vast; the path of ghosts is joyful, for they should enter the gate of life; the path of immortals values ​​ascension, the path of ghosts values ​​death..." Lin Xian chanted the Scripture of Salvation, and strands of immortal light shone forth, forcing out the demonic primordial spirit within Rui Wei's body.

It was a small, fist-sized primordial spirit, filled with sorrow and demonic energy, roaring loudly, weeping bitterly, and appearing as if it had gone mad.

Ye Fan, having gained insight into Rui Wei's past through the Soul-Locking Demon God, couldn't help but sigh softly.

Rui Wei's world is indeed facing resource depletion, so they sent out countless disciples to search for new life. However, the universe is full of both opportunities and risks. Without sufficient strength, revealing one's coordinates is tantamount to courting death.

This is the Dark Forest Theory!

Sure enough, a demon quickly found the star field where Ruiwei World was located through the slightest clues, and massacred that pure land, killing all the men, women and children.

The powerful members of Ruiwei's race fought a fierce battle with the demon, risking their lives and almost perishing together. The demon was reduced to a wisp of its primordial spirit, which eventually devoured Ruiwei and took over his body.

Life is the greatest miracle in the world. Rui Wei was indomitable and fought on. The demonic spirit was injured even more severely. Although it eventually erased Rui Wei's main consciousness, it was not completely killed and merged with it.

From then on, the world had a monster who was half demon and half human. One half lived in dreams, yearning for light and hope, while the other half occasionally had demonic thoughts and became bloodthirsty in the darkness.

"I am Ruiwei, I will search the world to bring hope to my people..." Tears streamed down his face, filled with sorrow, his eyes were almost empty, and he roared in grief.

He refused to acknowledge his death, refusing to accept the annihilation of his people. The demon's last wisp of spirit, also in a state of near-extinction, merged with it, becoming this unique being.

"It's so sad..."

Ye Fan shook his head, intending to erase Rui Wei's shared memories with the demon, which would also eliminate the demonic fetus and allow Rui Wei to live.

"Wait a minute."

Lin Xian, however, stopped Ye Fan from killing the demons and looked at Rui Wei with great appreciation, saying, "You are quite good. Would you be willing to cultivate with me?"

"Holy Lord?!" Ye Fan was immediately shocked. He was puzzled as to why Lin Xian would spare the demonic fetus, and he also couldn't understand why Lin Xian would take a liking to Rui Wei, who had mediocre talent.

The Tianxuan Holy Land is incredibly prosperous. Its disciples are either ancient emperors with the Sun Body or near-immortal bloodlines like the Kunlun Immortal Blood. Even the Daoist children are members of the Silver Blood Royal Family, and will at least become Great Saints in the future.

Rui Wei's aptitude is such that it would be a stroke of luck if he were to become a Saint King in the future; barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will only ever be a Saint.

"Heroes of this world are as numerous as carp crossing a river. First there was Guan Cheng, then Rui Wei. How can Your Majesty underestimate them?"

Lin Xian smiled and shook her head: "Life is a miracle. No matter how difficult or dangerous the obstacles are, you will always find a way out."

"He..." Ye Fan's expression was strange. Guan Cheng could at least be described as having the talent to disrupt the ancient world, but he really couldn't see anything special about Rui Wei.

"Never mind that." Lin Xian glanced at him and sneered, "I haven't settled the score with you for that punch earlier."

"I couldn't help it, cough cough, I couldn't help it." Ye Fan laughed it off and didn't pursue the matter with Rui Wei anymore.

Lord Lin is, after all, an Eight Forbidden Saint King. Dealing with a rural demon fetus is a piece of cake for him. This is not a ruthless demon fetus, so it is not worth mentioning.

Ye Fan didn't care at all, but Lin Xian admired him immensely because he saw the prototype of a longevity method in the seemingly ordinary Rui Wei!
Rui Wei was possessed, but she survived by sheer willpower. Half-human and half-demon, she preserved part of her primordial spirit, which reminded Lin Xian of a supreme being in the Sea of ​​Reincarnation.

That person reached the pinnacle of speed, becoming the first in history, and attained enlightenment through it. He has lived since the age of mythology. In pursuit of immortality, he severed his own body and hibernated in the forbidden zone of life. He should have passed away at the end of his life, but instead, he possessed the body of an ancient emperor who was about to attain enlightenment and took his place, living an extraordinary life.

The carefree Celestial Venerable and Rui Wei are remarkably similar, except that one actively sought to possess another's body, while the other was possessed by someone else. Both of them are discussing the mysteries of the primordial spirit.

And then there's Guan Cheng, who was just an ordinary person on the path to becoming an emperor. He lived a life that even the ancient emperors couldn't achieve a second life. That was a kind of obsession, a transformation of his Dao heart, allowing his physical body to be reborn, which was also a supreme achievement.

Heroes cannot be judged by their cultivation level. Every cultivator has their own insights into the path to immortality, and every individual has their own understanding of the methods to achieve longevity!
"In order to continue, life will always find its own way, constantly exploring, constantly trying, seeking life from death, and striving for the ultimate sublimation."

"Those who seek immortality in the mortal world may have varying strengths and weaknesses, but there is no inherent superiority or inferiority

Lin Xian solemnly said, "Because the path that generation after generation has walked in their quest to become immortals is the path to immortality, and all living beings are our ancestors!"
