Man is covering the sky, the system is perfect

"Good! Good! Good!"

The carefree Celestial Venerable said "good" three times. He didn't rush to achieve the ultimate sublimation immediately, but instead stood aside and waited quietly.

After waiting for the other party to fully recover, he nodded to Wang Mingyuan.

Then, the entire universe dimmed, as if the carefree Celestial Venerable was absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.

He didn't suppress himself at all; boundless spiritual energy from heaven and earth frantically accumulated in his body and was then absorbed by him.

Throughout the entire universe, all the most powerful beings have turned their attention to this one direction.

This place has suddenly become the center of attention for the entire universe. Although this place was originally the center of the universe, it has never been as bustling as it is now.

The lightning above Wang Mingyuan's head was completely swallowed up by him and the Carefree Celestial Venerable due to various intense changes.

But neither of them spoke at this moment, and Wang Mingyuan just watched as the carefree celestial being recovered.

The world was violently shaking, and ancient Dao fruits were reviving without any attempt to conceal it.

Wang Mingyuan knew that the Dark Sovereign, or rather, the one who had severed himself from the Supreme Being and regained his former Dao Fruit within the forbidden zone, would have a flaw at the moment of ultimate sublimation.

That flaw was incredibly small, but in the eyes of someone at their level, once it was caught, it would result in serious injury.

He was also able to keenly grasp that weakness, that flaw, but at this moment he watched quietly, without any intention of making a move.

When one's moral standing is low, one needs to hide and flee, swallow one's anger, and make all sorts of compromises.

But now that he's in this state, at this stage of achieving enlightenment in an unconventional way, he's utterly fearless of any challenge.

He could even merge with the Heavenly Heart Mark right now and directly sublimate into an invincible being, if he so desired.

But Wang Mingyuan stopped at this most crucial moment and did not continue to move forward.

That is, he had the confidence to beat the Carefree Celestial Venerable while he was in such a state and with such a level of skill.

It's also because of another issue.

"Just as I expected, even though I swallowed the origins of two Great Emperors, compared to the origins of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, Kunpeng, and True Phoenix."

Even the very essence of two Great Emperors couldn't completely fill this gap.

Simply put, in the entire universe, apart from the Chaos Entity, there exists nothing else.

Including the Great Accomplishment Holy Body and the Azure Heaven Overlord Body, if they were to achieve Great Accomplishment, they would reach the level of Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven.

Reaching an extraordinary level of enlightenment through unconventional means can be considered a great achievement.

According to Wang Mingyuan's plan for the Heavenly Man Divine Transformation Scripture, when they practice the Divine Transformation Scripture to this stage, the Heavenly Man Diagram will be outlined in their bodies.

Apart from the Chaos Body and the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, there are no exceptions in the entire universe.

Even the direct descendants of the Great Emperor and the Ancient Emperor are the same.

However, there was an exception in Wang Mingyuan's case.

He is neither a chaotic body nor a primordial holy body or Dao embryo.

However, even after he achieved enlightenment through an alternative path, the celestial diagram within his body still could not be fully delineated.

Even now, Wang Mingyuan is still not perfect. He can feel that the Heavenly Diagram within his body is still lacking.

Putting aside everything else, even the two primal sources he had the highest level of control over, Kunpeng and Zhenhuang, were not filled.

As for the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, it's even worse.

Distractions are but a breath away; on the other side, the carefree Celestial Venerable has already adjusted his state.

As Wang Mingyuan stood beneath the starry sky, the lightning gradually dimmed.

Moreover, the boundless essence of heaven and earth flowed into Wang Mingyuan's body.

Neither of them was particularly serious for a moment, and they simply stood quietly in the void.

They seemed to have transformed into two void black holes, swallowing up all the essence and light between heaven and earth.

The entire Eastern Wilderness was quiet; no one spoke.

But the seven active forbidden zones are all silently watching this world.

"Mythical Battlefield?"

"Mythical Battlefield!"

The conversation between the two was brief and direct.

In the next instant, the two of them transformed into the most dazzling stream of light between heaven and earth.

One of them was in human form, while the other transformed into the form of a Kunpeng as they traveled through time.

Two golden roads stretch across the universe, heading directly to the mythical ancient battlefield at the deepest part of the cosmos.

That place is a special site left over from the mythological era, a rock and platform formed from the physical body of the ancient celestial being after his death.

Even though it has lost all its spirituality and divinity, it still possesses an indestructible nature.

Throughout history, most of the most terrible battles have taken place here.

Otherwise, high-level quasi-emperors would easily shatter entire star systems during major battles in the outside world.

It could even dim an entire star field, turning it into a death zone.

Although the two did not say much, they tacitly headed towards this area. During the process of flying over this distance, they were both frantically absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.

Wang Mingyuan is adjusting his state after undergoing the tribulation.

Meanwhile, the Carefree Celestial Venerable was constantly accumulating and refining his abilities, preparing for his ultimate sublimation.

Both remained silent, saying little, but a silent atmosphere permeated the space.

The carefree Celestial Venerable did not say much.

Logically speaking, a dark sovereign like him had waited for millions of years just to open the path to immortality.

At such a moment, one will not fight with others out of loyalty.

But the moment he was born, the carefree Celestial Venerable understood.

He had no other choice but to settle the score with this person.

Not to mention that Wang Mingyuan knew so much about him.

At this point, a winner and a loser must be decided between the two; it's impossible for things to pass so easily.

The exchanges and interactions between the two, as well as their traversal of the universe, may seem like a long story, but in reality, they happened extremely quickly.

When the two of them headed towards the edge of the universe, towards the ancient battlefield of mythology.

They attracted the attention of almost all the powerful beings in the entire universe.

Not only top experts, but any cultivator in the world will see these two figures.

Is this a sign that the final battle is about to happen sooner than expected?

"He hasn't even truly ascended to the throne yet, and he's already facing the Dark Sovereign within the forbidden zone?"

Who will win this ultimate showdown?

The universe is silent and quiet.

The Lord of the Divine Court sat on his throne, silently observing this region.

To be honest, he sincerely hoped that Wang Mingyuan would die in this confrontation, but Wang Mingyuan chose to confront the forbidden zone directly, and even fight against the Dark Sovereign within the forbidden zone, in this era and at this time.

He didn't have the courage.

He also admired Wang Mingyuan for making such a choice.

He was able to reach the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, and back then he was invincible, extremely powerful and terrifying among the younger generation.

He has been full of vigor and high spirits all along.

But when it comes to directly facing the restricted area and making the same decisions and actions as Wang Mingyuan, he admits he can't do it.

"You are strong, but you are a little too arrogant!" Seeing that Wang Mingyuan really wouldn't interfere, the Carefree Celestial Venerable sublimated himself to the extreme right in front of Wang Mingyuan on this mythical ancient battlefield.

In an instant.

The most dazzling light shone from his body, illuminating the entire universe, and everyone could feel the powerful energy emanating from him.

You can still feel that supreme aura returning.

"What happened? Has someone successfully attained enlightenment?"

"This aura, this fluctuation, doesn't mean a new Great Emperor has appeared; it means someone has reclaimed their former Dao Fruit!"

"It is the fruition of the ancient Celestial Venerable. I never thought he would actually live to this era!"

Above the Big Dipper, someone discerned the origin of this fruit and was immediately shocked, while a stir also arose within the forbidden zone.

"Isn't he Hengjun? How come after his ultimate revival, he has the Dao Fruit of the Carefree Celestial Venerable?"

"So it was him, it was the Carefree Celestial Venerable!"

"He faked his death and escaped, transforming into another person."

Is this his path to immortality?

There was some commotion even in the penalty area.

Because this could be considered a top-tier secret, and after the initial commotion, once they understood what the Carefree Celestial Venerable had done, they were stunned, and then shocked.

"Was he forced to reach the ultimate level of sublimation when faced with a figure who had not yet attained enlightenment?"

No living emperor or ancient sovereign can seal himself away.

Because they are too powerful, too formidable.

There is no divine or immortal source in the world that can be sealed away.

Therefore, unlike their followers, the Great Emperor could not be sealed in divine sources and immortal destiny, waiting to return after millions or tens of millions of years.

The emperor is destined to be alone, existing in his current era by himself.

If he were to be sealed away, he would no longer be the Great Emperor, no longer the Ancient Sovereign.

He had to cut himself down, to bring himself down from that invincible realm.

Only in this way can one seal oneself within the Immortal Source.

In this way, they can embark on the path to immortality millions of years later, but because of this, they are unable to reclaim their former Dao fruits.

If they get it back, the cracks on their Sendai will inevitably widen.

Sendai is arguably the most important place for a cultivator; if there is a problem with Sendai, it means that the cultivator is not far from death.

Any Dark Sovereign who has undergone a round of ultimate sublimation basically means that they can only wait to die.

The Supreme Being of Freedom is now undergoing a complete transformation in front of Wang Mingyuan, someone who has yet to attain enlightenment, without any apparent abnormality.

But that's not the most outrageous or the most incomprehensible thing.

This battle is destined to be recorded in history, with two of the most powerful figures in history standing on the ancient battlefield of mythology.

After a long wait, came a sudden, earth-shattering blow.

The dazzling light illuminated the entire ancient battlefield of mythology.

Even those inside the restricted area couldn't clearly see the details of the battle inside.

too fast.

It was incredibly fast. The Celestial Venerable of Freedom was a being of extremely dense form, and he himself had already taken the lead in the realm of speed.

He can even manipulate time, making it seem as if it pauses briefly.

The being opposite him also countered speed with speed, and within that speed lay unparalleled power.

After several rounds of clashes, the two were locked in a peak duel, evenly matched. In the end, Wang Mingyuan was unharmed, while Xiaoyao Tianzun was coughing up blood.

Such a thing has never happened before in history.

An emperor who had reached the pinnacle of enlightenment and regained his former Dao fruit was utterly defeated in a direct confrontation.

Moreover, it wasn't through other means, but rather speed against speed.

He was defeated by Wang Mingyuan in the area where Xiaoyao Tianzun was most skilled.

Although it may seem like a fleeting moment, the two of them actually exchanged countless breaths in an instant that no one else could see or perceive.

In the final moment, the carefree Celestial Venerable suddenly realized something.

His platform was pierced by an incredibly fast and dazzling beam of light.

Upon closer inspection, one can see a Kun, whose size is unknown and whose dimensions are estimated to be thousands of miles, swimming among them.

When it flaps its wings and soars into the sky, it transforms into a giant roc.

"This is not a method used in this world; it is a method used before the age of mythology."

This is a method passed down from the primordial ancient realm before the True Immortals became active.

"You have received the inheritance of the immortals from that era!"

The carefree Celestial Venerable recognized its origin.

The mythological era was a special period that continued from the end of the Chaotic Ancient Era to that point.

That was arguably the most unique and extraordinary era in the world.

Many traces of the ancient times can still be found in that world.

Even many traces left by true immortals are real.

However, there are no more scriptures or traditions related to true immortals in the world.

Have you ever seen a celestial being? Am I really inferior to one?

Wang Mingyuan and Xiaoyao Tianzun passed each other, facing Xiaoyao Tianzun's almost expectant gaze.

His clothes were spotless, and he stood gracefully beneath the starry sky.

"If you were from the mythological era, you would possess combat power no less than that of a true immortal, only your lifespan would be shorter."

"But if we measure things by the current standards, you are far from being a true immortal, and very close to being a true demon!"

The carefree Celestial Venerable let out a long sigh.

The next moment, his body trembled, and endless light shot out from the location of the forehead altar.

Then the entire body shattered into pieces.

A burst of the brightest, most dazzling light rushed into Wang Mingyuan's body and was swallowed whole by him.

Only then did this fragment of time, representing the outcome of the battle, rush out to the outside world and be seen by countless people.

The Lord of the Divine Court was stunned by this scene.

"So reaching the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor level already gives you the ability to be invincible?"
So, it turns out that he can now directly confront and even defeat the Dark Sovereign who has reached the pinnacle of enlightenment?

Before today, no one knew just how strong the Dark Sovereigns in the forbidden zone were. All historical records described them as invincible and unparalleled in the world.

Their ultimate defeat was not due to fighting prowess, but rather to lifespan and vital energy.

They were defeated by time, defeated by the years.

Even the Great Accomplished Holy Body, which is said to be able to challenge the Great Emperor, only managed to wear them down by using the "old man's tactic" of attrition.

But today, Wang Mingyuan has shown another possibility.

He stood silently beneath the void, waiting for a Dark Sovereign to finish his treatment before undergoing his ultimate ascension.

In this state, without waiting for the opponent to weaken or decline, he directly defeated a Celestial Venerable who had reached the pinnacle of enlightenment.
