Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

Jiang Hao stood alone in the shattered void, his body broken and almost unrecognizable, his aura extremely weak.

But he remained standing, his spine never bending in the slightest.

He succeeded, surviving this unprecedented ninefold celestial tribulation.

An unparalleled aura, surpassing all paths, was irresistibly resurfacing and growing stronger from the depths of his body.

The shattered bones hummed, the flowing blood boiled, and they began to resonate and merge with the vast ocean of myriad paths in the darkness.

Jiang Hao was about to merge with the Heavenly Heart Mark and take that final step to truly rule the world.

"It's a success! Jiang Shengjun pulled through!"

"Ninefold Immortal Tribulation! How many throughout history have been able to overcome it? Our human race will soon produce another invincible powerhouse!"

Throughout the universe, especially in the human star system, thunderous cheers and excitement erupted, with many people moved to tears, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope for quelling the turmoil.

"Buzz!"

Just then, at the crucial moment when Jiang Hao's mind and body were about to merge with the myriad Daos and enter a mysterious state, a dark light suddenly pierced out from the deepest part of the void without warning!

That dark light was sharp and deadly.

Clearly, a powerful figure from a forbidden zone of life wanted to seize this opportunity to kill Jiang Hao.

The timing was perfect; it was the very moment when Jiang Hao, exhausted from his tribulation, was about to merge with the myriad paths of the Dao.

The moment the Supreme Ruler made this move, gasps and curses erupted.

"Shameless! A supreme being actually dared to launch a sneak attack without any regard for shame!"

"Despicable! The Holy Ruler has just survived his tribulation!"

"Hold on, you must hold on, Your Majesty!"

These are the people who hope Jiang Hao succeeds.

For example, the people of the Dao Seeking Sect were just celebrating Jiang Hao's successful tribulation a moment ago.

The next moment, the Supreme One launched a sneak attack, and everyone cursed loudly.

Their hearts were in their throats, their fists clenched, and they wished they could take their place.

The ancient god frowned deeply.

"An ancient being from the Burial Abyss... This is troublesome."

A faint smile appeared on the emperor's lips:

"The Supreme Ruler of the Penalty Area has made his move, this is great!"

A hint of worry flashed in Feng Wu and Luo Hongchen's beautiful eyes.

The Fighting Saint: "Despicable! If you have the guts, fight me fair and square!"

Some other powerful races, after a brief moment of astonishment, revealed complex emotions.

Some onlookers commented skeptically, "The Supreme Ruler of the Forbidden Zone has made his move... Good thing."

Some gloated, "Hey, he's about to perish right after surviving his tribulation? How ironic!"

Some even lamented the fate of their own kind: "The Supreme One launched a sneak attack... Today it's Jiang Hao, but perhaps it will be our clan in the future."

However, most of the powerful alien races remained silent, unwilling to see Jiang Hao succeed in his path to enlightenment, and also feeling a chill at the style of the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone of Life.

These forbidden zones are too insidious and vicious, leaving no way out for newly enlightened cultivators.

When this terrifying blow arrived, Jiang Hao's seemingly closed eyes suddenly opened, showing no signs of fatigue or relaxation after the tribulation, and two beams of divine light shot out from his eyes.

"I've been waiting for you, you little rat in the shadows!"

Despite his serious injuries, his will never wavered, and he had anticipated the sneak attack from the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone.

This is the final and often the most dangerous hurdle on the road to enlightenment.

We had anticipated this, so why didn't we make preparations?

He roared, his palm strike, already shrouded in a hazy, chaotic aura, aimed directly at Wu Guang's head without dodging or evading.

Above the palm strike, chaos is opened up, purity and turbidity separate, and attack meets attack.

"Boom!"

The palm strike collided with the dark light, without a deafening explosion, but it completely transformed that void into a distorted chaos.

"That's impressive, not bad at all."

Praises rang out, and then a figure shrouded in chaos stepped out from the distorted void.

His figure was blurry, and his true appearance was unclear. Only an ancient aura, a mixture of decay and majesty, permeated the air, making even the Great Sage watching from afar feel breathless.

He remained unfazed by Jiang Hao's angry outbursts, his voice flat:

"A keen sense of perception, but unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, it only adds to the suffering. Your Dao Fruit, your rare Chaotic Body... will soon belong to me, becoming the supreme resources for me to embark on the path of immortality."

"Keep dreaming in your coffin."

Jiang Hao said indifferently.

"You've survived this long by sucking the blood of countless spirits, and you dare call yourself an ancestor? Do you even deserve to take my life?"

"Clang!"

Before the words were even finished, the Chaos Heavenly Blade had already torn through the sky, and the Chaos Divine Light transformed into the first ray of light that opened up the world.

He slashed directly and domineeringly at that figure.

The figure blurred and swayed, and with a wave of its hand, all laws withered and decayed. Endless dark light transformed into a rolling, deathly black tide, colliding fiercely with the chaotic blade light.

"boom!"

The ensuing battle involved no fancy techniques; it was purely a clash of fundamental principles, a battle of life levels.

Chaotic blood and dark red supreme essence blood splashed continuously, each drop as heavy as a mountain, crushing the void and igniting star remains.

Jiang Hao's body, which had just been tempered by lightning, was once again covered with terrible cracks.

The deathly aura surrounding that figure churned violently, and through the occasional tearing gaps, one could see that its ancient battle armor was damaged, and blood was constantly flowing out.

All the powerful beings across the heavens and all those watching the battle through magic arrays or supernatural powers felt suffocated.

"Indeed, the greatest calamity on the path to becoming an emperor is not a heavenly tribulation, but a man-made disaster!"

Other races and some human prodigies whispered maliciously.

"Damn it, I hope that Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone can successfully hunt down this human, otherwise, won't we have to wait tens of thousands more years?"

Jiang Hao's cultivation is too fast. He is about to prove his Dao in just five hundred years, which completely surpasses the geniuses of his generation. This has made some of the geniuses of his generation very vulnerable.

They coveted the supreme throne and were willing to use the emperor's hand to clear away obstacles.

In the eyes of these people, although the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone is a demon, they do not want to be suppressed by Jiang Hao and can only place their hopes on the Forbidden Zone.

At this moment, the ancient beings of all realms reacted:

Ancient divine thoughts rippled through the heavens.

"The Celestial Venerable of Annihilation... he finally couldn't hold back any longer. The Chaos Body is indeed worth the risk."

Deep within the demon realm, a powerful being whispers.

"The Old Ghost of Annihilation has made his move!"

Many people in all realms, including the Origin Realm, have failed with Jiang Hao.

However, those who hold this view are ultimately only a minority.

Many more beings are praying that Jiang Hao will successfully attain enlightenment.

In recent years, the darkness and turmoil have become increasingly frequent. The Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones of Life regard all living beings in the heavens as food and drink. Apart from Supreme Beings of the same level, no one can feel safe. Since the passing of the previous War Emperor, there has been no one who has attained enlightenment for a long time. The world urgently needs a new one who has attained enlightenment to protect the safety of all living beings.

The birth of an enlightened being is the strongest shield protecting all living beings.

For ordinary cultivators and countless beings trembling in the shadow of turmoil, a living enlightened being represents order and peace, the only light of hope in the darkness.

In some forbidden zones of life, cold and ancient divine thoughts intertwine.

"This generation of Chaos Body is extraordinary and definitely worth a fight. If we can seize its origin, the path to immortality is within reach."

"boom."

Jiang Hao and the other person clashed again in the star space.

Jiang Hao still used his seemingly simple and direct palm strike, which actually contained the true meaning of the creation of chaos, to meet the attack head-on.

The Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone still met the attack with his palm and fingers, intending to crush the opponent with the absolute difference in realm and power.
