In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 563 [Supreme Dragon Horse, Demon Jar and Divine Ruler]

The imperial mausoleum forms its own realm, where various exotic beasts emerge. A blue celestial dragon roars across the heavens, a fiery red vermilion bird flaps its wings and soars into the sky, unleashing endless flames, and ancient trees reach for the sky. Primal ancestral wolves are subdued in the deep mountains and dense forests, adding a touch of wild and exoticism to the divine realm.

"No wonder it is the tomb of the Demon Emperor."

The great saints' expressions changed. These strange divine beasts were so rare that even if one crossed ten star fields in the outside universe, one might not see a single one. Yet they had gathered in the Demon Emperor's tomb. Could they be the former generals under the Demon Emperor's command?

"Oh my god, look what that is!"

Immediately afterwards, a Great Sage cried out in terror, drawing everyone's attention. Every cultivator who could come here was a highly trained individual; even a Quasi-Emperor descending to earth wouldn't be so distraught. What on earth had he seen?

The crowd looked over and saw undulating immortal mountains, with divine light flowing around them. The magnificent palaces and pavilions of heaven were faintly visible in the clouds and mist. A Milky Way flowed, as dazzling as a starry river. Within that starry sky, a sacred being floated and sank, and a vast and majestic aura spread out, inspiring awe.

It was a crimson horse, with a dragon's head and a horse's body, and thick limbs. Now it suddenly leaped up, as huge as a mountain peak, with crimson clouds dancing around it, and finally transformed into a crimson dragon soaring into the sky.

"Exactly the same as Longma, could it be your ancestor?"

Black Emperor swallowed hard, gazing at the dragon-horse born from Kunlun Immortal Mountain. Both were spirits of pure energy and in the form of dragon-horses; they were practically identical. One could easily believe they were father and son.

Longma felt a chill run down his spine. Compared to him, he was like a baby dragon, while the other was the Ancestral Dragon who had stood proudly for all time, a deity of the Immortal Realm.

"There's an aura of supreme power about it?"

"Could it still be alive?!"

The gods of the underworld trembled, almost bowing down. They came from the forbidden zone of life and had sensed the slumbering supreme being; their imperial majesty was almost identical.

"I know who he is?" The old monk with yellow eyebrows from the Amitabha Ancient Starfield said in a low voice, "The dragon horse is the exclusive mount of the ancient emperors. Legend has it that Emperor Fuxi had a dragon horse, and Emperor Demon Emperor also had a mount. Emperor Demon Emperor was a snow rabbit that transformed into a Nine Heavens True Dragon. His mount naturally learned this method as well."

"This is no ordinary quasi-emperor, but a fully-fledged true dragon!"

Every type of physique has a minor and major achievement level. For example, among the kings of Zhongzhou, the major achievement level is the Saint King realm, and there are many powerful cultivators who have reached the Great Saint realm.

Once the Holy Body and the Overlord Body are perfected, they are comparable to the Supreme Being, and once the Chaos Body is perfected, one directly becomes an Emperor.

While a fully developed True Dragon Physique might not be as powerful as a Chaos Physique, it is certainly capable of fighting against a Hegemon Physique or a Saint Physique.

"Even the Demon Emperor's mount is a Crimson Dragon Supreme. Just how powerful is the Demon Emperor himself?"

The great sages trembled, recalling the various legends circulating in the mortal world. It was said that the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing's physique had been tempered to an extremely heaven-defying degree, and that a single drop of her blood could kill a true dragon.

They initially thought it was an exaggeration, but when they saw the Crimson Dragon Supreme, they realized it wasn't an adjective, but a fact.

The Demon Emperor's blood alone can suppress the essence and spirit of the Holy Spirit. Only with such power can he subdue the unruly dragon horse and make it his mount.

"What are you still standing there for?" Lin Xiandao shouted, using the Buddhist Lion's Roar technique to awaken the dragon horse, saying, "This is your opportunity."

In an instant, the dragon horse seemed to awaken from a dream, let out a long roar, transformed into its true form, soared into the heavens, and shouted: "Ancestor, wait for me, I am also a dragon horse, I have long been a descendant of the Demon Emperor."

In an instant, everyone scorned them, saying, "How shameless! Essence, Qi, and Holy Spirit are born and nurtured by nature. What blood relation do you have?"

"Like master, like pet," Duan De sneered, his words carrying a veiled insult.

Lin Xian was furious and attacked Duan De, saying, "You dare to slander the Great Emperor Wushi! Black Emperor, you're not going to get him!"

Duan De was stunned. What did this have to do with the Great Emperor Wushi? Before he could come to his senses, the dog had already bitten his butt. Although it couldn't break through his defenses, it still made the fat Taoist howl in pain.

"I, the Emperor, am a divine being, and I act with righteous indignation," the Black Emperor cursed. "Tomb raiders, cease your insolence!"

"Stop biting! The greatest treasure in the Emperor's Tomb is going to be stolen by that horse!" Duan De cried out in despair, pointing into the void. The Crimson Dragon Supreme had actually turned around.

"hold head high!"

A crimson dragon soared into the sky, and behind it appeared a colossal mountain larger than any star, stretching across the ends of the earth, vast and boundless, reaching the chaos above and suppressing the nine netherworlds below, its height unknown.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a huge cave. A beam of celestial light shot out from the cave and directly led the dragon horse away.

"Holy crap, this works too."

The big black dog immediately became envious and, disregarding all pride, prostrated itself in worship, howling, "Supreme Demon Emperor, I, Little Black, am also a demon, and I have come to receive your supreme inheritance."

The dragon horse's harvest not only spurred the Black Emperor, but also some human saints who tried to infiltrate the ranks, claiming that their ancestors had dragon blood and that they too could obtain the Demon Emperor's inheritance.

However, the Dragon Horse Supreme did not respond. Instead, it let out a long roar, causing the ancient land to crack open and reveal an ancient divine platform. On it, six weapons were displayed. Some were brilliant and released immortal radiance, while others were simple and unadorned, without any fluctuation.

One of the supreme weapons soared into the air, flew into the dragon's lair, and transformed into crimson immortal light.

"Wait, I know, that's not the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing's cave, it's the dragon horse's lair."

"Longma was chosen by the supreme ruler of his own clan."

Duan De's eyes gleamed as he suddenly looked at the ancient altar, his heart filled with excitement as he cried out, "Where is the true Demon Emperor hiding?"

The ancient altar shone brightly, without a trace of death, only faint traces of immortal runes. It was imbued with the aura of the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing, making it extraordinary, as if it were not a tomb of the dead, but a sacred ground for a living being.

After deducing the conclusion, Duan De let out a strange laugh. While everyone was still worshipping the immortal mountain, he sneaked away alone, charging forward with the Devouring Demon Jar on his head, afraid of being a step behind the others.

"That fatso always eats alone."

By the time the Black Emperor reacted, Duan De was only a short distance from the Ancient God Platform. He immediately panicked, let out a howl, summoned the golden bell left to him by the Great Emperor Wushi, stood up, and rushed over using the Xingzi Secret Technique.

The next second, a dazzling beam of immortal light shot into the sky, knocking Duan De to the ground, and even the Devouring Demon Jar trembled.

What kind of act is the fat Taoist priest putting on?

"Duan De, stop pretending to be dead, get up and break the restriction."

Black Emperor was stunned for a moment, then shouted loudly. You must know that the Devouring Demon Jar is the weapon of the Ruthless Empress, which can definitely sweep across the universe and can even fight against a Quasi-Emperor.

"Damn!"

Duan De scrambled to his feet, covered in dust and dirt, and said with lingering fear, "This isn't a restriction; it's definitely the Emperor Weapon of the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing!"

"If it weren't for this magic pot, even a hundred Great Sages would be dead."

As soon as he finished speaking, another beam of celestial light descended, causing a chilling aura to emerge throughout the myriad realms, making the Great Sage tremble, and causing the heavens to collapse.

The Black Emperor was also shattered by the immortal light, almost falling to pieces. It said with disbelief, "How is this possible? It's too terrifying. It doesn't seem like the power of an imperial weapon."

"Could it be that someone is activating an imperial weapon deep within the Demon Emperor's Tomb to suppress all directions?"

Upon hearing this speculation, the cultivators of the Divine Organization, the Heavenly Court, and the Buddhist sect all trembled. Who could withstand an Emperor's Weapon except for one? A Great Sage going up against it would only face certain death. Black Emperor and Duan De, refusing to believe this, joined forces again, each activating their magical artifacts. This attracted several beams of immortal light, as if several Great Emperors were about to be resurrected, turning vast swathes of mountains and rivers into dust.

"The aura of a supreme being, it is undoubtedly an imperial weapon!" The Black Emperor gasped.

Duan De also retreated temporarily, his eyes flashing with divine light, and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that under the Demon Emperor there are supreme divine generals similar to the dragon horse? They all left their weapons here."

Including the Dragon Horse Supreme Weapon from before, there are actually six Imperial Weapons here, which is simply unbelievable and almost comparable to the Heavenly Court.

"There was only one imperial weapon, and it was broken into five pieces."

Lin Xian used the secret method of the Celestial Master Yuan, chanting Taoist scriptures for saving people, radiating boundless Buddhist light, and attracting infinite power of faith. One after another, little angels surrounded him, guarding the center, just like a radiant emperor.

The gentle power of the three religions dispelled the fog, allowing the saints to see the true form of the imperial weapon.

Among the nine immortal golds, the Feathered Azure Gold is known as the most mysterious. The Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing used it to forge the Measuring Ruler, claiming that he would measure the world and take it a step further to advance into the Immortal Realm.

Now it has been shattered into five equal parts, but even so, it still retains the aura of a supreme being.

"This is incredible."

The great saints were shocked. How could a weapon possess divine power when it was already shattered? This had transcended the realm of weapons.

"It's somewhat similar to a broken green cauldron."

Duan De was immediately horrified and very unsure of this conclusion, because the Green Cauldron was a celestial artifact, and even if the Demon Emperor Ruler was powerful, it could not possibly be comparable to a celestial artifact.

"How did this ruler break? Could it be related to the ancient war of gods?" The Black Emperor frowned in deep thought. Back then, it followed the Great Emperor Wushi to investigate the ancient war of gods, and the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

That was no ordinary dark upheaval. The scale and terror of that divine war must have nearly destroyed the ancient world and wiped out all races. It was beyond the imagination of ordinary people and was not much different from the legendary collapse of the Heavenly Court.

In that battle, the Immortal Ascension Cauldron was shattered, the Human Emperor Seal was damaged, and the Immortal Slaying Gourd was destroyed, creating a huge void.

However, the Great Emperor Wushi drew a conclusion from the clues: the Undying Emperor had absorbed immense benefits from the ancient war of gods, laying the foundation for his path to immortality, and was called the mastermind behind the scenes by the forbidden zone.

"The Demon Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor clashed?" The Black Emperor was puzzled, but it quickly discerned the truth, for the altar reflected a figure, dressed in white, with unparalleled elegance.

"Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing!"

The crowd gasped in astonishment. Not only did the Great Sages of the Demon Race bow in reverence, but even the strongest among the human race could not withstand this aura and all paid homage to the supreme Demon Emperor.

Only a few people wielding imperial weapons could resist this aura and barely hold on.

"The Demon Emperor's obsession?!"

Lin Xian's expression changed drastically. What appeared in his hand was not the Fuxi Dragon Tablet, but the Human Emperor Banner that circulated Yin and Yang energies.

As someone who had received the divine thoughts of the Great Accomplished Holy Body and the obsession of the Human Emperor, how could he not recognize the Demon Emperor's current special state, which was exactly the same as the Azure Emperor's killing intent?

In this vast world, there is an ironclad rule: it's best not to provoke certain people who are about to die.

The Emperor's obsession is no different from the Supreme Ascension. In the event of a great battle, killing a Holy Spirit is child's play, and it is very likely to take away half the life of a Royal Path expert.

The ancient scroll unfolds, depicting the nine heavens and ten earths. The measuring ruler of heaven is wielded, and one after another, the world-destroying immortal rays explode the universe and shatter the eternal blue sky.

Only one figure in white stood beneath the vast sky, watching the stars fade and the sea turn to smoke, seeing the heavens turn to ash, yet never appearing.

He was neither a figure from the past nor a successor to the future; he was none other than the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing, who encountered the fleeting path to immortality that appears only occasionally throughout the ages.

The right time, the right place, and even the right person!
He succeeded, almost reaching the path to immortality, just one step away.

"puff!"

The Demon Emperor coughed up blood and withdrew, looking somewhat lonely. He murmured to himself, "I've grown old after all, and I'm no longer worthy of my former glory..."

He came too late to the path to immortality; if he were in his prime, he would definitely have made it through.

"The Azure Emperor, the Demon Emperor..."

Looking at this scene, Lin Xian suddenly understood something. The Azure Emperor's seclusion in the Desolate Tower was indeed a display of extraordinary wisdom, but it also took into account the situation of the Demon Emperor.

The Azure Emperor may not be as powerful as the Demon Emperor in his later years, and he may also find it difficult to break through the path to immortality.

"Try again, I'll fight with my life!"

The Measuring Ruler of Heaven resounded with a clang, and the five fragments on the altar shone with divine light. They had fought on behalf of the Demon Emperor throughout countless ages, conquering the path to immortality.

It was merely a weapon, yet it unleashed the true divine might of an emperor. Without relying on its master, but solely on the power of a deity, it once again paved the way to immortality.

"This is defying the heavens," the Black Emperor commented. This was not the power of a normal imperial weapon at all.

If the path to immortality could be opened up by imperial weapons alone, the Tianxuan Holy Land six thousand years ago would not have been completely destroyed.

In the end, the ruler forged from lapis lazuli broke, and the deity within it was almost obliterated. The Demon Emperor sighed; he was old and powerless to reshape the Demon Emperor Ruler.

The system of using the body as a seed is too dependent on blood and qi. Those with peak blood and qi and those with declining blood and qi are completely different concepts.

The Great Accomplished Holy Body could exchange life with the Supreme Being in his prime, but died tragically in his old age, forbidding heroes from seeing their white hair!

"Although the Demon Emperor is dead, his obsession remains, just like that of a deity."

"If the Sun Emperor could return briefly using human skin, then the Demon Emperor might do the same."

Lin Xian's eyes flashed with immortal light. Instead of competing with Duan Deheihuang for the fragments of the Immortal Ruler, she went straight into the deepest part of the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

If one could attract the obsession of a demon emperor, it would be far superior to a damaged imperial weapon.

If darkness and turmoil strike, he will wave his hand, waving his banner, and summon the four supreme divine thoughts to engage in a righteous brawl, unmatched by anyone in heaven or on earth.

Deep within the Emperor's Cave lies a vast world, containing rivers, lakes, seas, the sun, moon, and stars, nurturing countless celestial treasures. Ancient medicinal kings, some hundreds of thousands of years old, grow here, and there are more than one of them, each emitting an astonishing fragrance.

A silver dragon stretches across the sky, resembling a towering, snow-capped mountain range. It is vast and boundless, with its majestic head held high and its enormous horns flowing and shimmering. Its scales are translucent and radiant, and it seems to be singing to the heavens.

"The Emperor's Corpse!" Lin Xian's eyes narrowed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the silver dragon turned its head and looked at Lin Xian. In an instant, their eyes met, extremely lively, as if to convey a meaning: What are you saying?

Lin Xian felt a chill run down his spine and awkwardly laughed, "Demon Emperor, you're not dead."
