Chapter 12 The Origin of the Holy Spirit, the Azure Emperor's Killing Intent Enters the Heavenly Emperor Banner

A being resembling an emperor emerged from the ancient dragon's lair, causing many cultivators in the Immortal Transformation Pool to tremble. They were awestruck by the godlike figure and almost prostrated themselves on the ground. Only a few major forces possessing supreme weapons could stand under the protection of these supreme imperial weapons, but they remained silent and trembling, devoid of their previous arrogance.

"The gods have vanished. I am the Immortal Emperor of the Central Plains. Sinner, I offer you this divine object to send you to your next life."

This ancient being emerged from the ancient dragon's lair, scanned the supreme imperial weapons above the heads of the major forces in this world, and then looked at He Lang, mainly at the Heavenly Emperor Banner floating above his head.

"You told him to come, didn't you? Now that he's here, you're doomed!"

The Black Emperor murmured something, looking at the being with a solemn expression.

People from the Jiang family, Yao Guang Holy Land, Ji family, and Great Xia Divine Dynasty not far away also looked over with regret. Provoking such an existence, even if one possesses an ultimate forbidden artifact, only death awaits.

"Are you blind?! You dare covet my ultimate forbidden artifact? It's just a broken stone that's never been perfected, what makes you think you're some ancient emperor...?"

He Lang, who was like a dead man in their eyes, did something unexpected. He directly cursed at this being who seemed to be an ancient emperor, plunging the Immortal Transformation Pool into a deathly silence.

Damn it! If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!

The old fogies from these underworld forces went from pity to panic, becoming like frightened birds, cursing He Lang in their hearts for being an inhuman son.

Only the prodigies behind them revealed an expression that said, "As expected, it had to be you!"

His bravery and prowess are unparalleled throughout the ages!
"What are you barking about? I think you should go back to the ancient dragon's lair and calm down before you talk..."

The people by the Immortal Transformation Pool listened to He Lang's rebuke, and then looked at the crystal coffin at his feet, feeling extremely strange.

This is no way to court death.

"Ants!"

A cold voice rang out from the ancient dragon chariot, which stretched out its hand and pressed down on He Lang. Chaotic light flowed between its rough palms, and its power suppressed the heavens and the earth. Wherever it passed, the world turned into chaos, as if it wanted to refine the world where He Lang was.

"Brother, take care! I'll avenge you later."

Duan De let out a strange cry and, together with the old madman, manipulated the Devouring Demon Jar to protect the group of people and quickly move away. Yan Ruyu saw He Lang shake his head and, without hesitation, made the same choice. The group of people retreated far away under the protection of the Supreme Emperor Weapon.

"I'm not afraid of you! Great Summoning Technique! Azure Emperor Ancestor, show yourself at once!"

With a loud shout, a three-leafed green lotus appeared above his head. The lotus was lush and vibrant, with one Great Dao rune after another flowing out, radiating a hazy, clear light that sprinkled into the Immortal Transformation Pool, communicating with the beings within.

The next moment, the water in the Immortal Transformation Pool boiled. In the shallow waters of the pool, a small green lotus emerged and took root in a piece of green bronze. The lotus emerged from the water and transformed into a handsome man dressed in green robes. He looked very young, yet he was very calm. An invisible imperial aura emanated from him. He simply stood there quietly, blocking the Earthly Holy Spirit Emperor who had emerged from the Ancient Dragon's Lair. The chaotic palm could not advance an inch.

"Qingdi!"

"Ancestor!"

A gasp rang out by the Immortal Transformation Pool. People learned the title of this Azure-Robed Emperor from He Lang's words and were utterly shocked. Yan Ruyu, in the distance, even had tears in her eyes.

The Azure Emperor ignored the people around him, staring at He Lang, who had a blue lotus above his head, his eyes filled with images of the beginning of the universe and the chaos of creation and destruction.

"Azure Emperor, are you going to stop me?"

The Immortal Emperor of Zhongzhou stood on the dragon chariot, his eyes filled with despair, staring at the Azure Emperor with murderous intent and demanding an answer.

The Azure Emperor remained silent, staring intently at He Lang. In his eyes appeared images of immortals ascending to heaven and a humanoid immortal herb undergoing rebirth... "Azure Emperor Ancestor, why don't you deal with it first? I happen to need the essence of an unparalleled being to help me."

He Lang felt somewhat uncomfortable under the gaze of the Azure Emperor. He knew that the Azure Emperor was still alive, and that this killing intent was not much different from that of the ancient emperors.

Seeing that the Azure Emperor was ignoring him, the self-proclaimed Immortal Emperor of the Central Plains, the Perfect Holy Spirit, was enraged!

"Do you think I don't know your background? Why are you putting on airs like an ancient emperor? Today I will erase the last trace of you from this world."

The Immortal Emperor of Zhongzhou was enraged. He reached out and grabbed the Supreme Emperor Sword of the Great Xia Dynasty in the distance, infusing it with divine power. The Supreme Emperor Sword, an ultimate imperial weapon, was thus revived, emitting dragon-shaped sword energies the size of mountains. Its sword light shot straight into the outer realms, slicing down stars. Its ultimate power struck the heavens above and the netherworld below.

This holy spirit, wielding the Supreme Emperor Sword, slashed at the Azure Emperor. The aura of world destruction flowed forth, and even before it landed, the Qinling Mountains, stretching for millions of miles, trembled, threatening to be destroyed by the extreme killing intent.

At this moment, the Azure Emperor withdrew his gaze and looked at the Immortal Emperor of the Central Plains.

"Your bloodlust is too strong. You lack the invincible benevolence of an emperor. If you were to be born into this world, you would be a great scourge. I cannot let you live. I did not wish to commit any more killings..."

The Azure Emperor sighed, stretched out his palm, and without any divine power fluctuations or invincible aura, he fixed the revived Supreme Emperor Sword in place. The ultimate divine power subsided and fell into slumber.

As the giant hand descended, the supreme holy spirit that emerged from the ancient dragon's lair cried out as it was shattered into pieces by the Azure Emperor, scattering across the Immortal Transformation Pool.

Only strands of celestial radiance were extracted by the Azure Emperor, transforming into a ball of celestial light that gathered in his hand. Chains of divine order weaved through the celestial light, and the vigorous vitality made the ancient beings in the distance feel incredibly restless.

They realized that the celestial light was the origin of the Holy Spirit who had been killed by the Azure Emperor.

When the Azure Emperor looked back, he actually merged the Holy Spirit's essence into He Lang's body, leaving those old antiques who were burning with enthusiasm feeling as if they had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

The Azure Emperor actually extracted the essence of an unparalleled being and gave it to a cultivator at the Dragon Transformation Realm? Could this guy be a descendant of the Azure Emperor?
What is Yan Ruyu compared to that!
They glanced at He Lang, then at Yan Ruyu with the Chaotic Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon above her head, their expressions becoming incredibly strange.

Even Yan Ruyu's perfect face showed a look of astonishment, somewhat puzzled.

Ye Fan and his companions, however, seemed to have some guesses about this, exchanging knowing glances.

After doing all this, the Azure Emperor's figure began to dim.

"Azure Emperor Ancestor, don't disappear yet, come and wait inside my Heavenly Emperor Banner!"

Upon seeing this, He Lang immediately shouted, pushing the Heavenly Emperor Banner above his head to its limit. A vast Daoist sound emanated from it, and a magnificent immortal realm appeared on the banner's surface.

The Azure Emperor's killing intent, which had been dimming and was about to disappear, stopped dimming when the Daoist voice rang out. It quickly solidified, glanced at the Heavenly Emperor Banner above He Lang's head, then at the two divine beings pulling the chariot not far in front of He Lang, and finally at He Lang.

"Uh, I won't make you pull the cart. I really just want you to rest in the Emperor's Banner."

He Lang felt as if he was being questioned by the Azure Emperor!

The Azure Emperor did not respond. With the green copper block on his head, he walked into that vast immortal realm, leaving a mark on the Heavenly Emperor Banner, leaving behind the magnificent aura of the Azure Emperor.

"Creating the Immortal Realm is indeed the Azure Emperor's obsession!"

He Lang murmured to himself.

The Emperor Banner contains hundreds of Emperor characters that he obtained from the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin. These characters were refined into the Great Dao of the Emperor Banner by Immortal Fire. He knew that these hundreds of Emperor characters were the source of the Azure Emperor's existence!
