Humans are shrouded in mist, projecting their image across countless worlds.

Chapter 13 Seizing the Dream Essence, the Struggle Ceases
This day is destined to leave a significant mark on the history of spiritual practice.

The Azure Emperor, who was believed to have died more than 10,000 years ago, reappeared in the world in the legendary birthplace and killed a being who was suspected to be an ancient emperor. In ancient times, emperors never met each other, and no one knew who was stronger. The battle power shown by the Azure Emperor was awe-inspiring.

In particular, the reappeared Azure Emperor did not dissipate, but entered He Lang's Heavenly Emperor Banner. No, after having the Azure Emperor's mark, He Lang has decided to rename this forbidden artifact and is preparing to call it the Demon Emperor Banner!

The five-colored immortal phoenix mark and the chaotic blue lotus mark on the Demon Emperor Banner caused the powerful figures to change color.

"Ding……"

After the Azure Emperor entered the Demon Emperor Banner, a piece of green copper fell in front of He Lang, which he picked up and put into his Sea of ​​Wheels.

Upon seeing this, the people from the four great dynasties of Zhongzhou all frowned.

“He Lang, Green Copper is a treasure of the Central Plains human race. It was taken away by the Azure Emperor and has now reappeared in the world. It should be returned to its rightful owner and let Green Copper return to the Central Plains.”

The peerless old emperor of the Jiuli Dynasty shouted to He Lang. Above his head, a divine diagram floated and sank, with thousands of chaotic energies hanging down. That was the Jiuli Diagram, the supreme imperial weapon of the Jiuli Dynasty.

“Treasures belong to the virtuous. Since the Central Plains have lost treasures, it means that the Central Plains have lost virtue. Now that the green copper has fallen in front of me and I have obtained it, it proves that I am the virtuous one of this era. You can go play somewhere else.”

He Lang glanced at the old emperor and said disdainfully.

"you……"

Upon hearing this, the old emperor flew into a rage, his divine power surging like a sea and pouring into the Nine Li Diagram.

"What? You want to fight me? First, ask my Azure Emperor Ancestor if he'll allow it!"

Seeing this, He Lang also activated the Demon Emperor Banner. The Chaos Green Lotus on the Demon Emperor Banner was extremely eerie, spitting out Dao runes, and vaguely transformed into the Green Emperor dressed in green. The aura of the ancient emperor made the emperor of the Nine Li Dynasty shrink his eyes and stop his actions.

"Well, are you satisfied with this result? As payment for your offense, I want most of the Dream Essence from the Ancient Dragon's Lair."

The old emperor of the Jiuli Divine Dynasty stopped his actions, but He Lang did not. The Demon Emperor Banner roared, and the Great Dao runes were like a sea, transforming into a sky curtain that covered the void.

"Stop him!"

Seeing He Lang's actions, the major extreme forces could no longer sit still and revived their extreme imperial weapons to break through the Demon Emperor Banner's blockade.

"By my Azure Emperor Ancestor! Go and talk to Him!"

He Lang activated the Demon Emperor Banner, and the Chaos Green Lotus on it immediately revived, transforming into the appearance of the Azure Emperor. Just by standing in the void, it made the people of several major forces bow down.

He Lang rode the ancient coffin of the gods into the ancient dragon's lair beneath the giant mountain. The ultimate laws sealed the heavens and earth, suppressing the dreamlike divine essence nurtured in the ancient dragon's lair.

This immortal root had been nurtured by the ancient dragon's lair for countless years, reaching an unimaginable level. The divine essence on the mother plant had actually transformed into real spirits, as if they had come to life. He Lang rushed to the tree and collected a golden dragon, a divine phoenix, a snow-white elephant, a pink mouse, and more than ten other spirits. He then extracted a portion of the mother plant's essence before stopping.

He then summoned back the Demon Emperor Banner, and the Azure Emperor's phantom disappeared, heading towards where Ye Fan and the others were.

Despite their intense hatred for He Lang, the various factions disregarded everything else and began vying for the Dream Essence-level spirits that had emerged from the Ancient Dragon's Lair.

This level of dreamlike essence is not only a treasure for cultivation, but it can also extend one's lifespan, making it something they desperately need.

In an instant, countless magical treasures flew about in this world. A purple ancient pagoda was activated, its purple glow suppressing heaven and earth. A golden bronze bell was shaken, its waves shattering thousands of miles of mountains and rivers...

Countless cultivators were reduced to clouds of blood mist in the chaotic battle.

The place where He Lang and his group were located transformed into a pure land, sheltering some rogue cultivators who were seeking opportunities, and no one dared to step forward and attack.

The scene of the Azure Emperor killing a Holy Spirit was still fresh in everyone's mind. No matter how unwilling they were, no one was so stubborn as to think that a revived Imperial Weapon could be easily suppressed. How could they possibly resist it? They could only silently curse He Lang in their hearts.

“Your forbidden artifact is strange; it’s different from the extreme forbidden artifacts I’ve ever seen.”

He Lang divided the fragments of the elixir he had seized, and also divided the dozen or so Dream Essences, leaving behind the mother plant's origin and the little sprite in the shape of a true dragon.

As everyone watched the battlefield, they began to discuss He Lang. Duan De looked at the Demon Emperor Banner above He Lang's head with a envious expression.

"I once obtained an ancient scripture of supreme power, which was refined into it by immortal fire, so it is not surprising that such a change has occurred."

The hundreds of imperial characters inside the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin were related to the repair of the Immortal Realm and contained supreme Daoist rhyme. When he inscribed the ancient characters, the Immortal Fire was overjoyed and even left the original mark of the Immortal Fire on the divine skin.

"Impressive!"

A golden ape approached and said, "I am the Holy Prince, the only son of the Primordial Fighting Holy Emperor."

Although He Lang's arrival changed many things, many stories still unfolded as he remembered them, without any change.

The demon race also came over and talked with everyone.

Dressed in white, Yan Ruyu resembled a celestial being. She exchanged a glance with He Lang, her perfect face revealing a hesitant expression.

"This is the killing intent of the Azure Emperor, not his own resurrection."

He Lang knew what she wanted to say, and directly revealed a secret: he and the demon race were strategic allies.

When Yan Ruyu captured Ye Fan, intending to use his sacred body to nurture the Demon Emperor's sacred heart, he used the art of divination to reveal that the Azure Emperor was still alive and had obtained the Demon Emperor's ancient scriptures and secret techniques from the deity of the Chaos Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon at the location of the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven, thus forming an alliance.

However, after so much time has passed, Yan Ruyu and the others still haven't awakened the Azure Emperor. It's likely that the Azure Emperor's primordial spirit is still sealed in the deepest layer of self-imposed limitations, and even the Azure Lotus Imperial Weapon cannot awaken it. It's estimated that the Azure Emperor will only be able to reappear in the world once Ye Fan has nurtured the little Azure Lotus within him to the Quasi-Emperor stage.

"Can that ancestor's murderous intent reappear?"

Yan Ruyu asked softly.

"That depends on the will of the Azure Emperor Ancestor's thought, but it shouldn't be a problem to borrow some divine power."

Yan Ruyu nodded upon hearing this, and said nothing more. She looked at the vast and misty Huaxian Lake, its waters as clear as autumn water, and gazed at He Lang.

"By the way, why do you call your ancestor 'Old Ancestor'?"

He Lang was taken aback by her question.

"Let's establish a connection with the Azure Emperor! I've cultivated part of the Demon Emperor's Ancient Scripture, so I can be considered his successor. There's nothing wrong with calling him that."

"You wouldn't be trying to welcome back the Azure Emperor's murderous intent, would you? There are special reasons why he entered my Demon Emperor Banner; I can't fully control him!"

He Lang revealed some of the secrets directly to avoid making Yan Ruyu suspicious, since there would be many more opportunities to use the Chaos Green Lotus Emperor Weapon in the future.

"Oh!"

Yan Ruyu responded softly and said nothing more. He Lang exchanged a few words with her and then entered the Immortal Transformation Pool to see if he could find some immortal ingredients. Hei Huang, Ye Fan, and the others had already leaped into the Immortal Pool like fish.

Below, at the Ancient Dragon's Lair, after a period of fighting, the major forces also stopped their confrontation and obtained some creatures transformed from the Dream Divine Essence. As for the Dream Divine Essence Mother Plant, it disappeared into the depths of the Ancient Dragon's Lair the moment He Lang released the suppression.
