In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 536 [Three Punches Shatter the Emperor's Dream, I Am a Celestial Being]

"Heavenly Emperor Fist!"

Ye Fan roared, his golden blood energy soaring into the sky, as if a heavenly emperor had descended to earth, with all the myriad paths following him, propelling the heavens and myriad realms forward with a thunderous roar. He immediately unleashed a powerful move without any hesitation.

In a battle between masters, it is rare for the fight to last for three hundred rounds. Usually, life and death are decided in just a few moves, and the winner is determined by the outcome.

"What a magnificent Heavenly Emperor Fist! It has truly entered the forbidden realm."

The Emperor exclaimed in admiration. As a disciple of the Emperor, he possessed extraordinary knowledge and was aware of the terrifying nature of this realm. In the mortal world, any strong person who entered this realm, as long as they did not perish, would achieve enlightenment in another way, even if they did not become an Emperor.

Divine prohibitions are the basic qualities of a Great Emperor, while forbidden domains are the prototype of an enlightened being!

However, as a disciple of the ancient Heavenly Emperor, and a once-powerful figure who dominated an era, the Emperor was no ordinary person and also had his own forbidden domain.

"Emperor's Fist!"

The Emperor made his move, instantly stepping into the Divine Forbidden Zone, displaying his former invincible prowess. Having once killed fifty-four Great Saints, how could his combat strength be weak? Even among the Emperor's sons, he was a supreme being.

The two fists collided, unleashing overwhelming divine power. Only chaotic energy swirled, obscuring the eternity.

"So what if he's an emperor? Even if the emperor himself appears, I'll still kill him without hesitation!"

Ye Fan possessed an invincible belief. His roar echoed through the heavens, shaking the sun, moon, and stars. His eyes shone brightly, as if a deity was about to emerge. A golden primordial spirit emerged, carrying a cauldron, seemingly going against the flow of time and breaking through the nine heavens.

Rising from the sea of ​​suffering, reaching the other shore, the secret realm of the Wheel of Life roars, with ancient and sacred chants echoing through the ages—that is me reciting scriptures.

Everyone has a different understanding of the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm. Lin Xian saw self-severance, while Ye Fan glimpsed reincarnation.

A person who least believed in reincarnation proved the Great Dao of Reincarnation. It seems incredible, but it actually contains the greatest secret of the multiverse!
The universe is in a cycle, eras are in a cycle, and so are people.

It's not that I don't believe, but that I can't believe, dare not believe, and find it unbelievable. Once I believe, my past life awakens and replaces this life, then am I still myself?!

"Neither on this shore nor on the other shore, I seem to glimpse a scroll painting of the eternal sky, lifting a corner of the mysterious veil, and glimpsing the truth of all worlds."

"What we call reincarnation should be called reflection!"

"Reincarnation is like a wheel; turning it forward means being reborn, turning it backward means reflecting the heavens!"

"The so-called time does not exist at all; it is merely the movement of matter."

"Time flows at different rates in different universes; some matter is solidified, while other matter is rapidly active..."

In an instant, Ye Fan attained enlightenment. His fist techniques changed again and again, transforming from the originally invincible Heavenly Emperor Fist into the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, the exclusive divine power of the Holy Body!

The cycle of reincarnation is like a disc, the six realms are manipulated, transforming into invincible fist intents that shake the entire world.

With a thunderous roar, the fist's intent pierced through the heavens and earth, resonating with the bloodline of the Holy Body. Abandoning all wondrous techniques and supernatural powers, it relied solely on instinct to unleash that punch.

With a whoosh, divine power surged to the heavens, and laws flowed like the sea. With a single punch, six black holes merged into one, swallowing the sky and the earth. This was not art, but the most primal destruction, just like the ancient people hunting their prey.

If the Heavenly Emperor Fist is the ultimate evolution of Tao and Law, a meticulously crafted supernatural power, then the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist has no fancy tricks, only ultimate destruction!

This punch was earth-shattering, surpassing anything seen before and never to be seen again. Whether Ye Fan himself could deliver a similar punch a second time was a question mark.

"This aura, how is this possible!"

The emperor's expression changed drastically. He dared not be negligent in the slightest and unleashed his most powerful life-saving technique. The secret methods of the nine celestial venerables were combined in an instant and then erupted.

The ultimate laws of that realm were sublimated to their fullest extent, and there was even an aura of immortality flowing through them!
The nine mythical beings are all exceptionally talented, each representing the pinnacle of their respective fields. The Carefree Celestial Venerable represents the speed of an immortal, the Longevity Celestial Venerable represents the restoration of an immortal, and the Heavenly Emperor Venerable represents the combat power of an immortal… They entered the realm of immortals with human bodies and are invincible throughout the ages.

The nine secrets combined into one no longer belong to the mortal world, but are rightfully a celestial art.

Formed from the wisdom of beings in the mortal world since the chaotic ancient times, it symbolizes the challenge launched by mortal cultivators against the lofty immortal realm, a desire to compete with the heavens.

At this moment, the Emperor was not fighting alone. The Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable, the Heavenly Court Emperor Venerable, the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable, the Moral Celestial Venerable... the nine Celestial Venerables of the mythological era seemed to have emerged at a certain moment, fighting their way up to the Nine Heavens, jointly attacking the Heavenly Emperor, and composing a resounding battle song!
A cracking sound rang out, the void shattered, the starry sky collapsed, everything was buried, and all became nothing.

The great saints who had been watching the battle from all sides retreated one after another. Looking at this scene, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. If they were in the center, they would definitely be reduced to ashes.

"The Emperor is truly extraordinary, not just a Great Saint like Lord Lin..."

Deep within the starry sky, Ye Fan spoke softly, standing atop a meteorite. In the vast expanse of the heavens, only the fragmented star beneath his feet remained intact; all others had vanished.

"A terrifying blow."

The emperor, still shaken, looked grave and said in a deep voice, "Your power is far from sufficient; your physical body simply couldn't withstand it."

No matter how powerful Ye Fan was or how many tricks he had up his sleeve, his cultivation level was ultimately only at the initial stage of Saint King, not even reaching the fourth level.

However, his opponent was the Great Sage, the son of the Emperor of the Nine Heavens!
It's like a firefighter who is skilled in all sorts of techniques and knows how to put out a fire, but the bucket in his hand is only so big; even a skilled cook can't cook without rice.

A surge of vital energy erupted from the sky, dimming the sun, moon, and stars under the pressure of a single person. Ye Fan's once flawless, indestructible golden body now bled and dimmed. The arm from which Ye Fan unleashed the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist was a bloody mess, revealing white bones that shimmered like gold and silver.

"His boxing skills are terrifying, but his physical body is not."

Ye Fan narrowed his eyes, suddenly thinking of something. On the Big Dipper Sacred Cliff, there was a body of a Great Perfection Sacred Body. What kind of effect would it have if he fused with that body and then wielded the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist?

Let alone a mere imperial prince or a great saint, even a quasi-emperor could be killed!

Even the Supreme Being, when facing a fully-fledged Holy Body fighting for their life, must temporarily avoid its sharp edge.

"The supreme physical body is a characteristic that our lineage of cultivators is proud of. If you encounter a great calamity, as long as you protect your physical body, there is still hope."

Suddenly, the Emperor recalled a sentence that the Emperor had once said, and then he looked at Ye Fan and said in a deep voice, "Stop here. It's not that you're not strong enough, but that your realm is too low."

"How many more attacks like that that could kill the Great Sage do you have left?"

The third level of Saint King is not enough; the strength of his physical body limits Ye Fan's performance. If his realm were higher, reaching the ninth level of Saint King, then the battlefield would be a completely different situation.

However, time waits for no one, and the path to the throne is cruel; one step ahead means always being ahead.

“I have another arm.”

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow and shook his other intact hand, which still possessed fighting power and was not a fish to be slaughtered.

"Do we really want to die together?"

The Emperor said calmly, "I haven't reached the Quasi-Emperor realm yet. Now is not the time for the final battle at the Imperial Pass. If we both suffer heavy losses, it might benefit others."

As he spoke, the Emperor turned his gaze to Zhang Bairen and Taichu, the only two cultivators present who posed a threat. The other imperial sons, though powerful, were ultimately not Great Saints, and were a step away from them. They would always be a step behind on the path to becoming emperors, and were not taken seriously by the Emperor.

Zhang Bairen smiled calmly, a pure and innocent smile that seemed to suggest he had no intention of taking advantage of others' misfortune, but no one dared to gamble.

As for Tai Chu, he was entangled with Lin Xian, who had a great connection with the Tai Chu Ancient Mine and dared not make any rash moves.

The scene immediately became tense. Lin Xian turned around and suddenly had an idea: "Should we ask Great Sage Hun Tuo to try and persuade them?"

Hun Tuo Da Sheng?

Upon hearing this, the proud princes paled, the heroes trembled with fear, the Great Sage shuddered, and some sages even began to flee.

In this life, Hun Tuo's fame was no longer limited to the Big Dipper, but spread far and wide across the starry sky, becoming known to one ancient starry road after another.

A newly arrived sage asked in bewilderment, "Who is the Great Sage Hun Tuo? He seems even more terrifying than the Great Sage Emperor's Son."

"Kid, why aren't you running? Once the Great Sage Hun Tuo appears, who can compete with him?" A kind-hearted Saint King complained, "Back then, so many outstanding talents were ruined by his bad luck. It is said that the fall of the half-step Quasi-Emperor of the Holy Spirit Clan was related to him."

"Don't even mention you, even a quasi-emperor would have to run away."

"The Body of Misfortune, does it really exist?" The Emperor frowned deeply, thinking of the mythical era, where there seemed to be such a person under the tutelage of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao.

It is said that the Celestial Venerable Lingbao perished and did not ascend to immortality because he was tainted by the bad luck of that disciple.

Better safe than sorry. The emperor took a few steps back, ready to use the "Travel" secret technique to escape at any time. As the emperor's disciple, he had mastered too many secret techniques.

"Who said we should all perish together?"

Ye Fan smiled slightly, revealing a set of white teeth, and said brightly, "I heard that you, Emperor, come from the ancient Heavenly Court and are the disciple of the Emperor Venerable. Did you inherit his imperial weapon?"

"Our teacher passed away at the end of the mythological era, and the Immortal Cauldron shattered in the ancient times." The Emperor shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I too will never have the chance to see him."

"Then you'll be able to see the light today!"

Ye Fan shouted, and with his other intact arm, he summoned the broken green cauldron. In an instant, a green radiance soared into the sky, and the vast and mighty laws of immortality illuminated eternity and dazzled the universe, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

These days, which prodigy goes out without an imperial weapon?
"Have mercy!"

"Please hold back!"

The chief deity of the divine organization shouted and chanted sacrificial hymns, hoping to calm the Green Cauldron and resolve this conflict.

They control one-third of the power, and the new Heavenly Court also controls one-third of the power.

When the two powers collided, the divine will of the Ascension Cauldron played a crucial role.

Inside the green cauldron, the chubby divine child held a piece of immortal gold, his eyes filled with greed. He was a spitting image of Duan De reborn, and people would believe he was the Prince of the Underworld.

"I, the Great Emperor, still have that much professional ethics—to do things for money."

The Divine Child grinned, looked at the Emperor in the distance of the starry sky, and shouted, "Kid, don't even think about leaving. You're going to get a beating today."

The emperor, who had originally planned to escape using the "Xing" secret technique, was actually stunned and froze on the spot after hearing the voice of the divine child.

He slowly turned around, looking at the fair-skinned fat man, his gaze shifting between Shenwa and Ye Fan, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Holding the green cauldron, Ye Fan's aura harmonized with this immortal artifact, unleashing his most dazzling attack.

"Emperor..."

The emperor, utterly bewildered, uttered a single, heartbroken cry: "Such similar faces, such the same aura—is there truly reincarnation in this world?"
With a single strike from a celestial weapon, who in the world could withstand it? Without the slightest suspense, the Emperor was sent flying.

However, Green Cauldron did not pursue further. The Divine Child, clutching the Immortal Gold, muttered, "One piece of Immortal Gold is enough for one transaction. If you want my help, that's a different price."

"I won!"

With the green cauldron atop his head and the Divine Child on his shoulder, Ye Fan's eyes flashed like lightning as he coldly stared at the Emperor and said, "You have the advantage of higher cultivation level, and I have an Emperor Weapon in hand, so we're even. Do you have anything else to say?"

The emperor's expression was extremely strange. He stood in the void, silent for a long time, before finally tentatively calling out, "Master?"

"what!"

The gods were shaken, and the heroes changed color. Who was the Emperor? He was the Emperor's personal disciple and the young master of the Heavenly Court. Who understood the Emperor better than him?

"what?"

Ye Fan was also taken aback, never expecting the Emperor to utter such a sentence. He pondered for a long time before tentatively asking, "You also took 500,000 Immortal Gold from Lord Lin."

It's one thing for someone like Shenwa to be bribed by Lin Xian, but I never expected that even you, Emperor, the Heavenly Prince with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would fall and become Lin Shengzhu's man!
"Perhaps there really is reincarnation in this world."

The Emperor shook his head, somewhat lost in thought, and said, "Back then, after my teacher failed in his battle on the path to immortality and killed two supreme beings, he was exhausted. I personally carried him down to Kunlun Immortal Mountain to merge with the immortal artifact and seek a glimmer of hope."

"The teacher once said that if one cannot live another life, then one should bury one's homeland, emulate the spirit communication of the Underworld Emperor's corpse, and form the reincarnation seal."

"Now it seems that the underworld's methods have both failed and succeeded, and reincarnation has become a reality."

"What did you say? The Emperor was buried in Kunlun!" Ye Fan's expression changed immediately. The Emperor was buried on Kunlun Mountain back then, merging with the Green Cauldron. But after countless ages, when Ye Fan and the others arrived at Kunlun Mountain, they only saw the broken Green Cauldron and did not see the Emperor's remains.

"I orchestrated everything back then; there's no doubt about it," the Emperor said calmly, assuming that Ye Fan simply couldn't accept the idea of ​​reincarnation, just like his teacher.

"Where did the Emperor's remains go?" Ye Fan took a deep breath, his heart filled with turbulent waves. They had not seen the Emperor's remains. Could it be that they were taken away by the Feathered Divine Dynasty?

If that's true, then they are truly filial sons and virtuous grandsons.

But if the Feathered Divine Dynasty wasn't so unfilial, then the truth becomes bizarre, pointing to one terrifying possibility after another.

"Is this the deity of the Green Cauldron?"

The Emperor stared at the divine child, pondering to himself, feeling that the chubby little boy in front of him was not very similar to the immortal artifact deity he had seen back then.

"Hey kid, what are you looking at?"

The child said arrogantly, "In terms of seniority, you have to call me Uncle!"
