In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 635 [The Strictest Father in the Forbidden Zone of Life]

Duan De was dressed in black iron armor, his face obscured by a mist, ancient and majestic. His celestial halberd shimmered with divine light, and his black-gold shield was renowned for its unparalleled defense. Clad in armor and wielding leather, he truly possessed the demeanor of an ancient celestial deity.

If it were the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone, he would have been truly intimidated at this moment, but unfortunately, it was the Emperor who came out.

Even before he attained enlightenment, the Undying Emperor dared to attack the Emperor, unleashing his most ferocious strike with the Kunlun Immortal Bell. He wasn't even afraid of the Lord of Heaven, so how could he fear the Ruler of the Underworld?

"Clang!"

As the Undying Heavenly Blade fell, the three weapon deities revived, the chaotic energy swirled, and the laws of the imperial path manifested, flashing with dark light, profound and terrifying. The sparks that flew out burned the sky and boiled the sea, igniting one star field after another.

Duan De grunted and coughed up several mouthfuls of Heavenly Venerable essence blood, which dripped onto the three Netherworld Battle Weapons, making their aura even stronger. They entangled with the Undying Heavenly Blade, forming a tangled situation.

Upon seeing this, the illusory figure of the Undying Emperor was not angry but delighted, saying, "Lord of the Underworld, you are indeed still in the cycle of reincarnation and have not truly returned!"

If he were the powerful figure who was second only to the Emperor in the past, how could he have only suffered this little damage?

"Why don't you leave?"

The illusory figure of the Undying Emperor looked at Duan De, who was struggling to hold on, and was puzzled. Suddenly, he exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that he is waiting for the Heavenly Nether Treasure?"

"The Heavenly Treasure has long since betrayed us."

A mighty voice echoed from the underworld. An ancient venerable being resurrected, sensing the return of the Underworld Emperor. He realized now was the best time to kill him and shouted a reminder to the Heavenly Emperor: "Opportunity knocks but once! Quickly kill the Underworld Emperor and sever one arm of the Heavenly Court!"

A black spear reappeared, the very same imperial weapon that the Lord of the Underworld had just wielded. The Prison Suppressor Emperor had been born. He was a celestial being from the mythical era, of immense stature, who later chose to enter the Underworld to study the art of immortality.

The arrival of a true ancient celestial being instantly changed the situation. In any case, this was a true master of the imperial path, wielding the Heavenly Heart Mark for the second time. Whether it was his Daoist magic or other methods, they were incomparable to those who achieved Dao through unorthodox means.

The scales of victory tipped at that moment.

"My old friend from the prison, you really know how to choose your timing..."

Within the restricted area of ​​the Big Dipper, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality spoke in a low voice, gazing towards the direction of the Primordial Ancient Mine. There, too, was a Supreme Being, also belonging to the Underworld. It was unknown whether the Corpse Emperor would make a move.

Other supreme beings could contend with the Underworld Emperor to some extent, but once they formed the Reincarnation Seal, no matter how high their cultivation level was, they were like playthings in the Underworld Emperor's hands, which was extremely bizarre.

"The Underworld Emperor!" The Corpse Emperor was also watching the Mythical Battlefield. He felt a chill in his heart, but he did not take the initiative to appear. If the Underworld Emperor was killed by the Heavenly Emperor, then it would be the best thing to settle his mind.

Although the Supreme Being possesses the power to fight, that power is reserved for the path to immortality and cannot be used until the very last moment.

Sleeping for millions of years, not everyone has the will to fight to the death.

They are no longer the powerful and influential figures who once reigned supreme on the imperial path; they are merely a group of old fogies clinging to life, and the longer they live, the more afraid they become of death.

"The Supreme Being of the Underworld!"

A deep, resonant voice echoed within the desolate ancient forbidden zone. The Golden-Haired Great Accomplished Holy Body wanted to provide support, but he was not a true ancient emperor and was restrained by a curse. The Source God was secretly hindering his progress.

Another Origin Ghost confronted the Myriad Dragon Emperor, facing him in the Holy City. The Emperor's supreme majesty was overwhelming, covering the Big Dipper, causing all races to tremble in fear, as if they had returned to the dark and turbulent years.

"It will have to be this humble Taoist priest who takes action."

The carefree Celestial Venerable smiled calmly, exuding an elegant and graceful aura, displaying the imposing presence of the Nine Celestial Venerables of Myth. His feet moved with incredible speed, almost transforming into a long river that broke through the heavenly secrets, but he was blocked by a mysterious supreme being.

"Fellow Daoist, from which era do you come? I have never seen you before."

The carefree Celestial Venerable's expression turned solemn as he looked at the mysterious supreme being surrounded by chaotic light. He made a move to test him, but no matter how many magical techniques he used or how fast he was, even the light of time he unleashed seemed to disappear without a trace.

"Hehe... I am a newly born being in this era, so it's normal that the Celestial Venerable doesn't know about me."

After the Heavenly Nether Treasure, a chaotic monster laughed, devouring all laws. Its aura was incredibly strange, unlike the Dao of a single person, but rather a twisted product of the fusion of millions of people.

"The supreme being of this era, the Great Accomplished Holy Spirit who was born ahead of schedule—no, the Holy Spirit's aura is sacred, not so sinister."

The thoughts raced through the mind of the Carefree Celestial Venerable. With his profound experience, he recalled ancient history in an instant, grasped a glimmer of inspiration in a flash, and suddenly remembered something. He said in a deep voice, "The Underworld's plan... has succeeded!"

The research into creating the Chaos Body began in the mythological era. One celestial venerable after another painstakingly studied it. The Boundless Celestial Venerable slayed the Chaos Body, and the Supreme Being of the Underworld also tried it, believing that the unification of all blood could create a Chaos Immortal Spirit.

"We are still missing some special blood, such as holy blood, but it is not worth mentioning compared to the Chaos Body."

The chaotic monster gazed at the mythical battlefield, its eyes fixed on Lin Xian's figure, and said with intense fervor, "As long as I eat him, I will lack nothing!"

The merging of two flawed acquired chaotic entities, taking their essence and discarding their dross, with the convergence of myriad paths and myriad bloodlines, might truly rival an innate chaotic entity.

This is also why the Source Gods, Source Ghosts, Heavenly Nether Treasures, and even Chaos Monsters are working so hard.

It wasn't just the return of the Underworld Emperor and the resurgence of the Heavenly Court that made them feel threatened; there was also the immense temptation of the Chaos Body, which made everyone drool and want a piece of the pie.

"Devouring the blood of chaos might be worth half a lifetime as an emperor!"

Within the forbidden zone of life, undercurrents surged, and many supreme beings stared intently at the battlefield, paying close attention to every detail to determine who the true victor was.

They won't offer help in times of need, but they'll readily kick someone when they're down.

"It's a pity it's just a phantom of the Emperor. If the real Emperor were to come and fight the Heavenly Court to the death, then it would be our forbidden zone's turn to reap the rewards."

The bloodthirsty supreme being had bloodshot eyes. He wanted the blood of chaos, and he also wanted the blood of the emperor. This quality of life blood was comparable to a dark upheaval.

However, Mount Sumeru was bathed in brilliant Buddhist light, and the golden Buddha stood tall between heaven and earth, radiating peace and compassion, with faint chanting rising from it.

In an instant, the Supreme Being's killing intent was quelled, causing the restless forbidden zone of life to hesitate once again.

The mythical battlefield was in ruins. The earth-shattering attack led by the Underworld caught everyone off guard. The Supreme Beings were all old foxes who had cultivated for millions of years. How could they be so foolish as to wait for the Heavenly Court to achieve its great power and then easily crush them?

Now that the Emperor's phantom has appeared, it is the perfect opportunity. New and old grudges are like raging fire, igniting the entire battlefield.

The black spear pierced the heavens and earth, eliciting countless cries of agony. The Prison Emperor was more eager than anyone else; if he didn't kill the Underworld Emperor today, all of them, the supreme beings who cultivated the Reincarnation Seal, would become the Underworld Emperor's puppets tomorrow.

"You inherently evil old devil, die!"

A sinister smile appeared on the face of the Prison King; it was liberation. The curse that had plagued the Underworld for millions of years was finally coming to an end.

From then on, they became masters of their own destiny; they were no longer the puppets of the Underworld Emperor and no longer had to live in constant fear.

Ning Fei, Chuan Ying, and Gai Jiuyou went to provide support, wielding imperial weapons and immortal artifacts. However, how could the phantom of the Heavenly Emperor allow them to have their way? Holding a Heavenly Blade, it suppressed the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, its blade light tearing apart the universe and destroying the star sea, more terrifying than a Great Emperor.

"The war of emperors, the true war of emperors!"

"It's the aura of the Flawless Emperor!"

The Quasi-Emperor was suffocating at this moment, his face filled with fear. A single disagreement could trigger an Emperor War; how could this possibly continue? The promised Emperor Road Clash was supposed to be a decisive battle between those who had attained Dao. It was one thing for Emperor Weapons to appear, but then one Supreme Being after another appeared, and then there was that Undying Emperor, who was just a phantom avatar. Why was he so terrifying?

"This traitor is truly on par with the Emperor!"

Chuan Ying raised his head and let out a long roar, using all his methods, but he was unable to deal with a mere phantom. The title of Emperor was not just empty words; he could reach the highest heavens and explore the deepest hells, and was a supreme deity.

"Emperor!"

The Black Emperor was wailing. If the phantom of the Heavenly Emperor was so terrifying, then his true form must be even more invincible. For so many years, the Great Emperor Wushi had been suffering alone, his situation was not just ordinary threats. He had no one to turn his back on the common people, no reinforcements, and he had to bear everything on his own.

"King of the Underworld, I am the true ruler of the underworld!"

The Prison King solemnly declared: "The Reincarnation Seal will become a thing of the past. The Underworld shall revere Chaos, and all blood shall be united as one. This is our path to immortality."

The spear pierced the sky; under the true, unparalleled imperial might, Duan De's physical body was about to collapse, and his Dao fruit in this life would be destroyed.

Suddenly, a brilliant sword cry rang out, ringing out with a clear and resounding sound.

A celestial being from the mythological era sighed softly, "Those who are willing will take the bait."

"How could it be you, Moral Celestial Venerable?!"

The Prison Suppressor was startled, then narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "You formed the Reincarnation Seal, and the Imperial Corpse became sentient?"

"To catch a big fish, you need to use heavy bait."

Shennong, well-versed in the art of fishing, smiled slightly and said, "Lord of the Underworld, you truly have enemies all over the world."

"Another Imperial Corpse Spirit Communicator?"

"How could it be Emperor Hengyu!"

The Emperor of the Prisons looked very unpleasant, and was also puzzled. It was one thing for the Heavenly Venerable of Morality to have millions of years of accumulation, but it was reasonable for the Imperial Corpse to be spiritual. Moreover, the Heavenly Venerables of the mythological era often chose this path to immortality.

In the mythological era, it was common to see several resurrected celestial beings vying for supremacy on the imperial path, causing immense suffering to the heroes of the time.

But Hengyu was a great emperor from the ancient era, not a mythical celestial being. How could he have succeeded in just one or two hundred thousand years after being buried? It's simply unbelievable.

The underworld only has one chance to nurture a divine corpse once every million years. Emperor Hengyu plays with fire, not shady tactics, so why is he able to form the hand seals so quickly?

"And I!"

The Yellow Emperor walked over and revealed his true appearance. He seemed ordinary, but he had a reassuring aura.

"The Void Emperor!"

The Prison King gasped. Compared to the Void still being alive, the idea of ​​forming a reincarnation seal after one or two hundred thousand years was child's play.

“Void, how is he still alive?”

"This is outrageous! We're going to have to fight the void again in this life."

At this moment, not only was the Prison King stunned, but the Northern Dipper Life Forbidden Zone was in an uproar. One after another, the old supreme beings were instantly shocked and felt a chill run down their spines.

Throughout history, countless outstanding individuals have emerged, but even those who have attained enlightenment are nothing special in the eyes of those in the forbidden zone.

Only a handful of people can leave a deep impression on the forbidden zone of life, and the Void Emperor is one of them.

The ruthless fear the stubborn, and the stubborn fear the reckless. The Void Emperor was that reckless Daoist who attained enlightenment.

No matter how powerful or remarkable you were in your first life, when you encounter the void, you should just accept your fate.

The life of the Void Emperor was incredibly tragic, filled with bloody battles across the four seas and eight wastelands. He had just pacified the Undying Mountain when the Sea of ​​Reincarnation was thrown into turmoil. His entire life was spent in conquest, either pacifying forbidden zones or on his way to pacify forbidden zones. He was truly the most ruthless emperor.

The forbidden zone of life is equally stifling, not so carefree and happy. Even the supreme beings are imprisoned. There are six or seven who voluntarily come out to fight, but there are also quite a few emperors who are unable to come out to fight and are forced to die.

The Void Emperor, the strictest father in the Forbidden Zone of Life, without exception!

"Namo Shakyamuni Buddha!"

A Buddhist chant resounded from the void, coming from Mount Sumeru and descending upon the mythical battlefield. Shakyamuni put his hands together, smiled slightly, and said, "Excellent, excellent. This humble monk is late and has kept you all waiting."

"The reincarnation of a Buddhist emperor?!"

The Prison King was immediately at a loss. The first three were manageable, but the Emperor Corpse's ability to form the Reincarnation Seal was the Underworld's old specialty. Although he was wary, he at least had some confidence in dealing with it.

But the cycle of reincarnation in Buddhism is truly unpredictable in the underworld. Not long ago, an Amitabha Buddha emerged, plunging the forbidden zone of life into silence. His methods were heaven-defying, comparable to the King of the Underworld.

"Today, all the emperors of Heaven have gathered to settle accounts with the karmic debts of the underworld, restoring freedom and peace to all beings after death, freeing them from misfortune!"

Shennong shouted loudly, and a brilliant light shone forth, like a great sun illuminating all the heavens and the myriad realms, dispelling the darkness and cold.

Long live the Ancestor of Humanity!

"The Dao Ancestor is invincible!"

"Buddha, have mercy!"

All living beings in the heavens and myriad realms felt the call and cried out in unison. Even the old Taoist priest and the bald monk, who had been fighting fiercely in the past, temporarily set aside their grudges and cooperated to pray to the four majestic figures.

"The Heavenly Court is truly laughable!"

The masses were unaware of the truth, and the Prison King was almost laughing in anger. Looking at the four ancient supreme beings with the aura of reincarnation before him, he thought, "How dare you say such things?"

The Reincarnation Seals are more numerous than I am, a supreme being of the Underworld! Is there no justice in this world?!

"To deal with a heretic like the Supreme Being of the Underworld, forget about righteousness and rules, let's all attack together!"

Lin Xian gave a shout, ready to launch a righteous brawl. With a wave of his hand, the array diagram instantly covered the starry sky, forming a dense canopy.

Gai Jiuyou was engaged in a fierce battle with the illusory figure of the Heavenly Emperor and was temporarily unable to leave, so he was temporarily in charge of the Spirit Treasure Array Diagram.

"Spirit Treasure Sword Formation!"

The Emperor of the Prisons' expression changed drastically. This was something the Underworld feared most, no less than the Underworld Emperor.
