In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 623 [Chaos Has Imperfections, Yet Humanity Is Unrivaled]

"How dare you! The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are borne on the shoulders of my Chaos lineage. The title of 'All Living Beings' is not for a mere Ancient Holy Body like you to utter."

"What Demon Lord? I am the Great Love Celestial Venerable, who has sublimated the Chaos Secret Technique and embraces the universe!"

Lin Xian's voice rang out, stirring up the surging Chaos Dao. Strands of divine chains of order fell like willow catkins, weaving into a net of destiny, shining brightly with nine colors, covering the mythical battlefield. His expression was solemn like that of an ancient celestial being, looking down upon all living beings and dominating the rise and fall of the human world.

"It's no use telling me that. Tell all living beings that those who cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art are good people!"

"You are not you, and I am not me. The one who lives in the hearts of all beings is the true me!"

Ye Fan laughed loudly, using magic to fight magic. The Ruthless Great Emperor had left a stereotype, and even her successors were universally hated.

"How dare you slander my Chaos lineage!"

"I cultivate the Undying Heavenly Art passed down from the Heavenly Emperor of the Southern Ridge!"

"Everyone knows that the Heavenly Emperor of Nanling is highly respected for his virtue, pacified the forbidden zone of life, slew the Imperial Fire Spirit, and protected the peace of the world."

Lin Xian scolded, "Although the Devouring Demon Emperor is ruthless and merciless, killing without blinking an eye and devouring kings like taking a big pill, Xiao Nannan is still a good girl, pure and innocent, with a childlike heart."

From the Devouring Demon Emperor to the Ruthless Great Emperor, and then to the Southern Ridge Heavenly Emperor, his reputation instantly reversed with each step up in strength.

As for the dark history of the past, let's not mention it. Even the Emperor of Feathered Ascension has given up. Who will dare to test the sharpness of the Immortal Sword?

"The mark of Heaven belongs to the virtuous, and I am a person of great virtue."

Lin Xian said leisurely, "Little Ye Zi, submit!"

"You are clearly the same kind of person as Duan De." Ye Fan was speechless, unable to see even a trace of virtue in Lin Shengzhu.

"When a person possesses the power to destroy the universe and devour all living beings, yet chooses not to do so, is this not a virtue, a grace of not killing, a great grace?"

Lin Xian smiled slightly and said, "To give birth without possessing, to act without relying on one's own power, to nurture without dominating—this is called profound virtue."

"What utter nonsense!" Ye Fan scoffed. "How could a powerful being be so bored as to destroy the universe? The human world is everyone's home. To destroy one's own homeland would mean losing all humanity."

“Even the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone wouldn’t do that. Even the Holy Spirit still retains a sense of attachment to the universe.”

"How could there not be? That person is you!" Lin Xian shouted, "Emperor, in order to advance further, you are prepared to sacrifice all the Venerables and destroy the universe, just for your own immortality. Your heart is so vicious, you are the number one demon in the world."

"With the testimonies of the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, the Celestial Venerable of Freedom, and all the ancient mythical venerables, the truth is clear as day, how can you deny it!"

Virtue is relative. If everyone in the world were a saint, there would be no good people. If everyone in the world were an evil person, there would be no bad people. This is why there will be no end to great thieves as long as saints live.

While the Empress was indeed cold-blooded and ruthless, and those who practiced her techniques would be hunted down by all races, compared to the Emperor who wanted to destroy the human world, the Ruthless Great Emperor was incredibly kind. She stayed quietly in one place as a homebody, without plotting any earth-shattering conspiracies, and only wanted her brother to come home.

"I am not the Emperor!"

Ye Fan roared, and the Emperor Fist in his hand grew even stronger, shaking the heavens and the starry river, shattering the endless void.

"It's no use telling me that. Go tell the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone that you're not the reincarnation of the Emperor."

Lin Xian chuckled. The brighter one is, the more darkness is needed to highlight them. There are no pure saints in the world. If there are, they must be fake liars.

Do you believe that there is a Heavenly Emperor who can lead your entire sect to immortality and share in eternal life, or do you believe that the Heavenly Emperor becomes an immortal one day and then closes the gates to immortality the next?

By putting ourselves in others' shoes, everyone feels that human nature is unreliable, and the latter is more likely.

"What evidence do you have."

Ye Fan's fighting spirit surged, and he wielded the Emperor Fist, causing light to burst forth, illuminating the dark universe and drawing an immortal light, truly exuding the aura of an emperor.

"This matter is completely fabricated!"

Lin Xian laughed loudly, actually summoning the Great Dao to descend, the laws surging like a sea, forcefully cleaving the Ancient Sacred Body.

His boundless magical power is no exaggeration, and his limitless supernatural abilities are extraordinary. The Chaos Body is the number one physique in the universe, the supreme among all races, and the strongest since ancient times. Even the innate holy body, the phoenix bloodline of the immortal realm, and the rebirth of immortal artifacts and gods are only comparable to it.

Once one attains enlightenment, one becomes the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, possessing the power to defeat immortals. Even if someone else becomes an emperor first, one can still merge all the Daos, defy the heavens, and achieve the coexistence of all emperors.

At first, Lin Xian was puzzled as to why the Chaos Body could break through the limitations of the universe, transcend the Dharma-ending Age, and become an Emperor without the Heavenly Heart Imprint. Now that he has attained enlightenment in Chaos, everything has become clear.

The universe is chaos, and chaos is the universe. The Chaotic Body has achieved the ultimate microcosm of the human body, perfectly replicating everything in the macrocosm, and carrying its own celestial imprint.

As long as one unites with the myriad paths, one can replicate the Heavenly Imprint of the Great Universe into one's own Microcosm, achieving the miracle of becoming an Emperor!
Such a glorious and magnificent path of light is beyond the reach of even True Immortals; in the future, one will at least become an unparalleled Immortal King!
Furthermore... this physique is perfectly compatible with the Chaos Green Lotus.

If the Azure Emperor were to evolve into a chaotic form, perhaps a different kind of miracle would occur.

"All things return to one, from chaos arises the blue lotus!"

Lin Xian shouted loudly, controlling the net and combining the Great Dao of the Emperors. Behind him, one after another phantom of the Great Emperor appeared, like humanoid lightning bolts striking in the Heavenly Tribulation. He dominated the Heavenly Tribulation, like the Thunder God, high above, commanding the Nine Heavens.

"I have traversed the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation and the Karmic Fire Tribulation!"

“We are not afraid of living emperors, let alone some projections.”

Ye Fan sneered, his Ancient Sacred Body's blood energy soaring to the heavens. His fist technique changed, and the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist shook the heavens and the earth. Strands of supreme aura vibrated the mythical battlefield, shattering the starry universe. Black holes were collapsing, and he slayed emperors.

The Demon Emperor collapsed, the light fell, the beginningless fell, the void collapsed... One after another, supreme Dharma forms fell. Ye Fan truly possessed the majesty of a Great Accomplished Holy Body, challenging the Great Emperor. Under his fist imprint, all things in the heavens transformed into Dao Qi.

But this is not the end, it is only the beginning.

Myriad imperial auras soared to the heavens, and strands of chaotic energy intertwined and tangled. The power of the past, future, and present merged into one, and a thirty-six-petaled blue lotus manifested.

"When the flowers bloom, I see them; when I see them bloom, they see me."

The Chaos Green Lotus slowly bloomed, and Lin Xian actually stepped out from it. He smiled slightly, formed a Dao seal with his hands, and had some of the demeanor of the Azure Emperor, as well as the aura of a ruthless person. At the same time, he also possessed the charm of a Buddhist emperor, transcending the mortal world.

It was as if a true immortal descended to earth and performed the act of creating heaven and earth, evolving into a vast immortal realm, layer upon layer, totaling nine levels!
"The Immortal Realm, no, it's the Desolate Tower!"

Ye Fan's expression changed drastically. He recognized that it wasn't the legendary illusory immortal realm, but a small immortal realm within the Nine-Layered Desolate Tower, the work of the former Azure Emperor. Although it didn't grant immortality, its suppression was still an unparalleled divine power. "Clang!"

The bell tolled softly, the bell of primordial chaos striking. Lin Xian used the Battle Saint Technique to conjure the weapons of the Heavenly Emperors, disturbing Ye Fan's mind. Then, he used the Desolate Tower Immortal Domain to suppress and kill Ye Fan's physical body. His methods were heaven-defying, and the terrifying laws shone brightly, a testament to the brilliance of the immortal path.

The tower is ancient and simple, with nine stories, flowing with the power of time, as if it runs through the entire ancient history of cultivation.

Throughout history, from mythology onwards, this weapon is the strongest and most unique!

It is the symbol of the entire system based on the body as a seed, the magical artifact of the Taoist ancestor who pioneered the path of cultivation, and the weapon of the Heavenly Emperor, possessing a supreme status.

"So what if it's a desolate tower? I firmly believe that my own weapon is the strongest."

After a brief moment of panic, Ye Fan calmed down and summoned his mother artifact, the cauldron. Wisps of Xuanhuang Qi descended, establishing him in an invincible position. Most terrifyingly, the cauldron's mouth was stained with crimson imperial blood, radiating an ancient killing intent. A mark appeared on it, the mark of the Lord of Reincarnation.

Although it is not yet an Emperor Weapon, it is stained with the blood of the Supreme Being and has evolved to an unprecedented level. All the quasi-Emperor Weapons in the world pale in comparison to it and are utterly vulnerable.

"The Xuanhuang mirror is stained with blood, but what about the Void Mirror...?"

Lin Xian's heart stirred, and he used the Battle Saint Technique to evolve the Void Mirror. It was just as terrifying, no weaker than the Beginningless Bell, and almost became a celestial artifact. It was stained with the blood of seven or eight supreme beings and was only one step away from the final leap, making it comparable to the Netherworld Treasure.

Despite the terrifying power of the celestial weapons, they were ultimately just illusions. Under the constant assault of the Xuanhuang Cauldron, Ye Fan was able to break through.

His fighting spirit has reached its peak. He has fought against the Supreme Being and fought to the death with the Flawless Emperor. His spiritual sense is extremely sharp. As long as there is the slightest flaw, he can seize the opportunity in an instant and break through the encirclement.

"So-so. What kind of Chaos Immortal Path is this? It's not even as good as the Lord of Reincarnation."

Ye Fan, dressed in rags, coughed up blood, but still stubbornly said, "Holy Lord, you still need to train. Chaos is flawed and not invincible enough."

Lin Xian snorted coldly. In the Dharma-ending Age, heaven and earth are damaged, and so are people. Those without flaws will inevitably perish. Unless one is a naturally conceived innate chaotic body, one is destined to have defects.

Even for ruthless individuals who evolve into a chaotic body, it takes tens of thousands of years after becoming an emperor to perfect it before a flawless chaotic body is born.

However, it is still incredibly terrifying. Ye Fan is someone who has fought against a Supreme Being, while Lin Xian is known for not being good at warfare and is used to suppressing others with his cultivation level. The fact that he could fight to this extent already demonstrates the power of the Chaos Body.

"Even if you have a flawed chaotic body, you are still a chaotic body. It's more than enough to defeat you."

Lin Xian took a deep breath, pulsating in unison with the myriad paths of the universe. With each step he took, it was as if the heart of the Azure Emperor was beating, shaking the heavens and the myriad realms. The essence of the four seas and eight wastelands swept in as if returning to the womb, endless and continuous.

In just a moment, he was full of energy again, as perfect as ever.

"Niang Xipi!"

Ye Fan couldn't help but curse. With unlimited mana regeneration, how was he supposed to fight? His ultimate skill was like it was free. Why didn't he just stay in the fountain?
"That's how we chaotic beings are. If you're not happy, then evolve into chaos yourself."

Lin Xian's cheeky voice rang out, echoing through the starry sea. Every star was providing him with power. For the Chaos Body, the universe was like a mother.

"So what if it's chaos? I can break through all laws with sheer force!"

"Heavenly Emperor Fist!"

Ye Fan roared, his entire body growing larger and larger, his Dharma form supreme. The sun, moon and stars were above his head, and he stood on the Nine Netherworlds, just like Pangu, the Heavenly King who created the world. His supreme blood energy erupted, and all sorts of strange phenomena, such as the Immortal King descending to the Nine Heavens, the Chaos Lotus Planting, the Magnificent Rivers and Mountains Painting, and the Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram, were all combined into one at this moment.

In the Pure Land, a Supreme Heavenly Emperor stepped out, bearing countless extraordinary phenomena. He activated the All-Encompassing Secret and unleashed the Heavenly Emperor Fist, shattering the void and annihilating everything!
"Ten Thousand Immortals Finger!"

Lin Xian went to greet him, casually unleashing his ultimate move, which was as dazzling as a rain of light. He manifested the wondrous techniques of the emperors one by one, such as the "Slaying Myself to Understand the Dao Technique", the "One Thought Blossoms, Reigning Supreme", the "Void Dao Flower", the "Battle Saint Technique", and the "Divine Undying Scripture". All of them burst forth.

The forbidden chapters of imperial techniques have turned page after page, it's as if all the emperors of the ages have joined forces, transcending ancient history!

The numerical monsters and the mechanical monsters fought to the end of the mythical battlefield. Every move they made was like the beginning of the universe, with surging chaotic power, shattered galaxies, and the destruction of the Great Dao!

The two fought for three thousand rounds, both stained with blood. The holy blood, half gold and half red, was sprayed out, containing the breath of life. The immortal chaotic blood surged, and the fragments of the Great Dao were dazzling. All of them were first-class sacred objects in the human world.

If the Great Sage were to find a few drops of Quasi-Emperor's blood, it would definitely extend his lifespan by eight hundred years.

However, the Great Sage couldn't even get close to the two, let alone approach the Mythical Battlefield. Even if a Quasi-Emperor got involved, he would be shattered by the terrifying aftershocks.

Only true high-level quasi-emperors, those who have attained enlightenment, can approach silently.

"This blood!"

"Refining the two of them is no less than bathing in the blood of emperors, which is enough to lay the foundation for my imperial path."

In the shadows, a divine phoenix's eyes gleamed, burning with a flame called ambition.

The next moment, she acted, wielding a replica of the Immortal Heavenly Blade, secretly transforming into a streak of light, and attacking Lin Xian, who was bathed in chaotic energy.

The choice between the two was not only because Lin Xian appeared to be seriously injured, but also because Chaos Blood was more precious than Holy Blood.

There were nine Great Saintly Bodies in the ancient times, and only two or three Chaos Bodies throughout the ages.

"Who? How dare you!"

Ye Fan possessed an incredibly strong fighting spirit. Having once fought against the Lord of Reincarnation, he immediately noticed a third party interfering in their battle. He unleashed a powerful Holy Fist, shattering the void and revealing the truth.

With a deafening roar, the Milky Way shattered, and the universe seemed to explode. A raging fire revealed the true coordinates, which looked like a celestial palace made of clouds.

Upon closer inspection, one will discover that it is a Phoenix Nest built by the Phoenix Blood Tree, comparable to the Chaos Dragon Nest, both being supreme divine lands of all races.

An extremely young voice rang out from within the Phoenix Nest, like the song of a nightingale: "Fellow Daoist, you have misunderstood. I am helping you eliminate a major enemy on the Emperor's Road; it is out of kindness."

"It's a misunderstanding. This is the way your Undying lineage operates. You've always done things this way. You're always sneaking up and killing people. You're not just insidious."

Lin Xian walked over, bathed in the essence of the universe. His injuries were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. He looked at the Phoenix Nest and sneered, "What fellow Daoist? Undying Empress, you must be several million years old by now."

"Why does this old woman act so self-consciously like a virgin? Does she still think she's a young girl?"

"How ridiculous!"
