In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 629 [Ning Fei, Chuan Ying, Gai Jiuyou]

"Ning Fei..."

The Immortal Queen trembled and turned around abruptly, her face already streaked with tears. Looking at the peerless hero who once rivaled the Emperor, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. The once proud and carefree young man on the white horse had now grown old.

Great generals throughout history, like beautiful women, are not allowed to grow old in this world!

She was once breathtakingly beautiful, once the most stunning woman in the world, but in the end, her hair turned white and her life was bleak, and the blue sea and sky withered away.

"A desolate dream, what remains of it all..."

Sun and Moon God General had silver hair hanging down, exuding a heroic aura. He looked very young, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes. He couldn't help but raise his head and let out a long roar. He died in the ancient battle and was later saved by the Emperor. He came to this later world, but was besieged by various quasi-emperors and was in a very sorry state.

The once supreme being who was deified has now faded into obscurity, losing the aura that once swept across the four seas and eight wastelands.

Led by the old man, the Demon Lord, carrying the Supreme Stone Token of the Holy Spirit Ancestor, he rallied all the Quasi-Emperors of the Heavens to surround and kill the Sun and Moon Gods, letting out a howling sound, full of wildness, like an ancient person hunting.

The loss of three funerary artifacts instantly reversed the battlefield situation, but Duan De made no move. He appeared aloof and dignified, but in reality, he was trembling with fear, afraid that others would discover his true strength.

The Lord of the Underworld Palace and the Lord of the Prison Palace bowed for a while, then, seeing that the situation was not good, they tried to escape, but were stopped.

"Where do you think you're going! The underworld must either submit or perish!"

With the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron above his head, Ye Fan faced two quasi-emperors of the ninth level of heaven alone. His eyes were extremely violent, as if they contained the power of an ancient golden-haired beast. His Six Paths Reincarnation Fist shook the heavens and earth and was invincible!
The aura that pressed down on the mythical battlefield was like that of an emperor on a procession, making people unable to help but bow down in worship.

The quasi-emperors of the heavens trembled at the sight. Was the most mysterious forbidden zone in legend about to end in this lifetime? Was it the Heavenly Court taking over, or was the Underworld Emperor personally intervening in the grand scheme of things?

"If this were ancient times, you would all die!"

Kun Tian Divine General's situation was also dire. With a roar, he forced back a group of Quasi-Emperors. His fist intent boomed, and the sun, moon, and stars revolved around him. Each of his divine abilities was a flying celestial dragon, totaling eighty-one, annihilating the starry river, displaying awe-inspiring divine might.

However, the Emperor's sword, capable of defeating ten thousand men, rang out with a resounding clang, like the manifestation of the Ancestral Dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. The imperial dragon energy surged forth, forcefully cleaving the universe, possessing supreme divine might, transforming into eternal light that shone brightly in the dark universe.

If I can't beat the Immortal Emperor, I can't beat a mere Eight Generals like you!

Time shines upon the heavens, heads held high, roaring. Even the ages are about to collapse. With a single sword strike, it reigns supreme in offense. Before the Ancestral Dragon Sword, even the most powerful dragons are nothing but false dragons.

"Unfortunately, this is no longer your era."

"This life belongs to the Heavenly Court!"

Lin Xian fought fiercely with the Netherworld God. The quasi-emperor of the Nine Heavens was invincible, peerless, and an unparalleled master in the mortal world. Even with his Chaos Body, he still lost some of his skills. In the battle, he established himself in the Eight Sacrifice Domain and then advanced towards the Divine Forbidden Zone.

Ancient divine forbiddenness, ten times more secret!
It erupted in that instant, shattering all the heavens and myriad realms. The Great Dao of Chaos surged, causing the Heavenly Heart Mark to resonate. This was no mere mid-level Quasi-Emperor; it was clearly someone about to become an Emperor making their move.

Even the strongest person is vulnerable in the face of time.

"Time is like a knife, cutting down the proud and arrogant; on the path to immortality, one can only sigh at the alluring beauty!"

After defeating the Netherworld Demon God, Lin Xian stepped forward, took the Supreme Emperor Sword, and slashed it. The Kuntian God General was forced back. His fist, which had been tempered by the Immortal Blood of the Undying Emperor, was torn apart like paper, and blood was spilled across the cosmic battlefield.

Faced with all this, Ning Fei, the first divine general who had achieved enlightenment in an unconventional way, remained unmoved. Instead, his eyes were solemn as he looked towards a certain place in the void, severing the connection between that person and the Phoenix Nest.

The Undying Empress and the Ancestor God were both powerful figures at the Ninth Heaven, and they quickly noticed the anomaly.

"It's him?"

"It's you!"

Amidst the gasps, a baby-faced boy dressed in animal skins appeared, his smile shy and delicate. He looked handsome, but spoke very rudely: "The wheel of fortune turns, and it's time for the Heavenly Court to kill the Emperor. Why don't you go and save your brothers?"

"They are not my brothers." Ning Fei, the First Divine General, said calmly with his white hair disheveled, showing no concern for the lives of the other Divine Generals.

"Haha, that's right. The Second Divine General is the First Divine General. You did it for that woman."

Chuanying burst into laughter, tears welling in his eyes, and said jokingly, "Being so attached to romantic love, no wonder you haven't become an emperor yet."

"You talk as if you're some kind of enlightened celestial being," Ning Fei said calmly. "Chuan Ying, you haven't let go of the collapse of the ancient Heavenly Court either."

Upon hearing this, some people who were unaware of Chuan Ying's identity trembled and exclaimed in surprise: "The number one divine general of the ancient Heavenly Court!"

There are too many legends about this person. In the late mythological period, although he was not a Celestial Venerable, he dared to enter the forbidden zone and was praised by the Emperor as an unconventional path to enlightenment.

"No, this life is different. The Heavenly Court has risen again, the Emperor has been reincarnated, and my wish has been fulfilled."

Chuan Ying's eyes shone brightly as he said, "Ning Fei, I'll give you a chance, and I'll give myself a chance, to continue that unfinished battle from countless ages ago."

“Heavenly Court? Emperor!” Ning Fei turned around, looked Ye Fan up and down, and said in a low voice, “To be able to kill a giant of the Ninth Heaven at the Sixth Heaven level, he does indeed have the demeanor of an Emperor. No wonder you think he is the reincarnation of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor.”

"But would someone like that, who is so self-centered as you and me, truly acknowledge their past life?"

"If you believe, it exists; if you don't believe, it doesn't." The First Divine General, Chuan Ying, raised his arm and called upon all the gods to unite, using himself as a banner. He shouted, "The Emperor has returned! The Heavenly Court has avenged itself! Gods, rejoice!"

"The Emperor is immortal, eternal life revealed through countless eons!" "Emperor Ye, ten thousand years old!"

On the battlefield, all the gods rose up, their blood boiling with excitement, bathed in divine light, shining brilliantly under the encouragement of the true dragon's horn.

"See that, Ning Fei!" Chuan Ying laughed heartily and said in a resounding voice, "After annihilating you and pacifying the underworld, I can truly attain enlightenment and even live a second life."

Ning Fei remained silent, gazing intently at the woman inside the Phoenix Nest. The Undying Empress possessed the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill and the Emperor's Secret Technique, and was bathed in the blood of all the emperors; she was still in her prime.

The immortal queen stopped beating the drum. Their eyes met, and she choked back tears. The beauty was not old, but the hero was old. This was the greatest tragedy in the world.

"You still want to protect her, you are truly devoted, but I don't want to wait another lifetime." Chuanying scolded, "In this life, all grudges should be settled. It would be best if we both died in battle, making way for future generations."

"Immortal Empress, did you hear that? If you still have a shred of affection, you should commit suicide now to fulfill Ning Fei's Dao heart."

Chuan Ying was very cold, like a villain, and said: "In his current state, he is destined to lose to me in a fight. I have a 70% chance of winning."

"Is what he said true? If I die, you will win and attain enlightenment in this life." The Immortal Queen's eyes were glistening with tears, but she smiled and said, "If that's really the case, I'm willing."

“But then it wouldn’t be you.” Ning Fei sighed, transforming into supreme Dao sound, interrupting Chuan Ying’s Heavenly Sound Immortal Incantation, and restoring the Undying Empress to normal.

How could a woman obsessed with becoming an emperor and fascinated by power possibly give up when she is about to achieve enlightenment?

"Whether it's the young Phoenix Maiden or the Immortal Empress, they are already imprinted in my heart." Ning Fei shouted, "Go on your path, and I will protect you in this life."

The Undying Empress remained silent, tears streaming down her face. She felt an unbearable pain in her Dao heart, and a trace of regret arose in her mind.

If the choices made back then had been different, would the outcome have been different?

"This love can only be cherished in memory, for at the time it was all in vain." Lin Xian arrived with his sword, not daring to be presumptuous in the face of this unconventional Daoist, and said leisurely, "Infatuated Ning Fei, how about waiting another lifetime?"

“Chaotic Body.” Ning Fei’s eyes showed a hint of fear. He said in a deep voice, “You are even more heaven-defying than Wang Bo from the mythological era. With your physique, even if someone has achieved enlightenment before you, you can still stand alongside other sovereigns. Why do you want to wade into this mess?”

"He departed here. The Emperor has not yet fully matured, but the Heavenly Emperor has already defied the heavens. His methods are beyond your imagination."

The man was in love, and the woman was willing; it's no wonder that they never considered having anything happen between them over the course of millions of years.

The reason why they dared not cross the line was naturally because the Emperor was still alive.

"The Emperor is above both the Emperor and the Sovereign."

Ning Fei's words were both a warning and a persuasion. He admired other heroes and wanted to see how far the Chaos Body could go and whether it could lead to immortality.

Throughout history, all outstanding figures have pursued the ideal of immortality. The Chaos Body certainly has the qualifications to challenge immortality; otherwise, the forbidden zones of the underworld would not have been so eager to pursue the Chaos True Blood.

"The current emperor is unparalleled in battle, truly comparable to a true immortal from the Nine Heavens, but how could the Azure Emperor be a mere mortal?"

A melodious voice rang out, and the universe tore open. A young man with flowing black hair, a majestic and imposing figure, and a blood-red aura that seemed to be the reincarnation of a celestial king strode in. His eyes were bright and his fighting spirit was fierce.

"Such a powerful being exists in the mortal realm!"

Ning Fei's pupils contracted. Achieving enlightenment through unconventional means is not so easy. There are very few who have done it throughout the ages. For example, Gu Xin'ao definitely has the potential, but due to various unforeseen circumstances, he has not been able to take that step.

Once you step into it, you are comparable to a fully-fledged Holy Body, capable of challenging even the Great Emperor. You truly possess supreme combat power, it's not just talk.

"Gai Jiuyou greets the First Divine General under the Emperor's command."

The young Gai Jiuyou was calm and confident. He fought against the Lord of Reincarnation and broke through his demonic barrier. He may not be as good as the Azure Emperor, but he is definitely comparable to the Great Emperor.

Furthermore, he took the elixir of immortality and lived another life. His blood and energy were vigorous, making him the supreme being of his time. Compared to Chuan Ying and Ning Fei, he was far superior.

“Fellow Daoist Gai touched the threshold of becoming an Emperor eight thousand years ago, his talent is astonishing. Now that he has joined the Heavenly Court, he can be considered the number one divine general under the Azure Emperor.” Chuan Ying smiled slightly, and even had the mind to joke: “Now that the three great divine generals have gathered, it is time to determine who is superior.”

"The Azure Emperor is extraordinary."

Ning Fei was shocked. The ancient emperors never met each other. If they did meet, it was most likely that they were supreme beings. In a fight, youth has the upper hand, and it would be difficult to determine who was superior.

However, throughout the ages, there have always been some exceptions. They are terrifyingly powerful, not only invincible themselves, but also above emperors and sovereigns, and their followers are even more powerful.

"To make an unorthodox Daoist bow down, and to have Emperor-level experts follow, this is perhaps the standard for evaluating a Heavenly Emperor."

Lin Xian said slowly, which made everyone's hearts tremble. At first, they wanted to refute it, but after thinking about it carefully, they found that it made a lot of sense.

Such as Emperor Zun and Chuan Ying, Heavenly Emperor and Ning Fei, Green Emperor and Gai Jiuyou, Empress and Great Accomplished Holy Body, Amitabha Buddha Emperor and Peacock Emperor, God Emperor and his younger brother Little Divine Silkworm, Underworld Emperor and Corpse Emperor.

The Fighting Saint Emperor possessed incredible combat power, but in Lin Xian's eyes, he was not at the Heavenly Emperor level because he had not subdued Di Que and made him the number one divine general.

In this life, he is qualified to become the Heavenly Emperor.

Naturally, it belongs to Emperor Lin Tian and his first divine general, Ye Fan, who has achieved the Great Sacred Body!
