Back on Earth, I am the only cultivator.

Wu Fan stood with his hands behind his back on a piece of broken star debris, his dark eyes reflecting the vast continent that spanned several star systems in the distance.

Xiaoya floated barefoot beside him, her long, silvery-white hair swaying gently in the wind.

"Big brother, the world is too big. Just the endless star sea under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Realm has three thousand main star domains and millions of lower realms."

Xiaoya rubbed her temples, her voice tinged with anxiety:

"Back then, I escaped with serious injuries, and that traitor Yan seized power in the Celestial Court, bestowing countless fiefdoms upon his lackeys."

"If we search through each star system one by one, it will not only take a lot of time, but we are also more likely to alert the enemy."

Upon hearing this, Wu Fan's lips curled up slightly.

"Who said we had to take our time looking?"

"Um?"

Xiaoya was slightly taken aback and turned her head to look at him.

"Big brother, you mean...?"

"Now that I'm back here, I have no intention of hiding my true identity any longer."

A cold glint flashed in Wu Fan's eyes, revealing an aura of domineering power that seemed to swallow the universe.

"I, the Emperor, will let all my old friends across these three thousand star fields know that I, Wu Fan, have returned!"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Fan slowly closed his eyes.

The next instant, a wisp of Immortal Emperor essence was released from the depths of his Niwan Palace!

In an instant, a supreme imperial might that governs billions of living beings erupted from Wu Fan's body like a world-destroying flood bursting its banks!

It was a dazzling golden light that pierced through the endless void, transforming into a pillar of imperial light that reached the heavens and the earth, instantly illuminating dozens of star systems in the surrounding area!

……

In the depths of the Northern Starfield, an ancient and desolate land frozen by snow and ice for 100,000 years.

The ancient coffin, tens of thousands of feet thick, suddenly shattered, and a gaunt figure, bound by chains and with disheveled white hair, abruptly opened his eyes, hot tears of blood streaming from them.

"This aura... it's His Majesty's! It's the Emperor's aura!"

"Old friends! His Majesty has returned!"

In the Sirius Star Sea, the purple-robed elder, who was being besieged and chased by several cultivators of the same level, was struck as if by lightning the moment he sensed that familiar imperial might.

"Zixiao, prepare to die!"

"Serving Emperor Yan is the only right path; you will not escape today!"

The Great Luo Golden Immortal who was besieging them sneered arrogantly.

"Support the Flame Emperor? Hahahaha!"

The Purple Cloud Immortal King laughed wildly, his body crackling with violent lightning. With a single palm strike, he pulverized the Great Luo Golden Immortal before him into a bloody mist, his eyes turning crimson.

"You lackeys, you dare to ask me to pledge my allegiance?"

"I will go to welcome the Emperor back to his throne. Anyone who dares to stand in my way will be annihilated, soul and spirit!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Terrifying streaks of light, tearing through the universe, rose from the ancient star fields!

The old guard, who had been lying low in the shadows for tens of thousands of years, suddenly emerged in full force!

However, it only took a few incense sticks to burn.

The void surrounding the star was violently torn open with spatial rifts.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Several figures, each exuding a powerful aura, descended upon this desolate starry sky.

The three elders at the head of the group were none other than supreme immortal kings who had mastered the perfect laws!

Behind them followed more than ten powerful Golden Immortals!

However, when they saw the black-clad youth standing atop the star debris, everyone's eyes were filled with shock and ecstasy.

thump!

The Purple Cloud Immortal King knelt on both knees in the void.

"Zixiao, Commander of the Zixiao Palace, pays respects to the Emperor!"

"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, warmly welcome your return!!"

"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, respectfully welcome you!!"

More than ten Great Immortals knelt down in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

Looking at his loyal former comrades, Wu Fan felt a surge of heroic pride welling up in his chest.

"Gentlemen, please rise quickly."

Wu Fan waved his sleeve and lifted everyone up.

"I'm sorry you've suffered all these years."

In fact, while Wu Fan spent a few months on Earth, many years had already passed in the Immortal Realm.

The Purple Cloud Immortal King wiped away his tears and said through gritted teeth:

"Your Majesty, you flatter us! When you tore through space and time to leave, the Wuji Divine Sect, the Netherworld Demon Palace, and other treacherous forces hunted down and killed your loyal followers. We were incompetent and failed to protect the imperial court!"

"It's alright."

Wu Fan's gaze was like a knife as he looked at the most dazzling sect stars deep within the starry sea, his voice icy and chilling:

"Now that I have returned, I will take back tenfold what I lost."

"None of those traitors will live."

Wu Fan abruptly turned around and shouted, "Zi Xiao, pass down the order: follow me and crush the Wuji Divine Sect!"

"I obey the Emperor's decree!"

All the Immortal Kings and Great Luo Immortals roared in unison, their battle intent tearing through the heavens!

……

Half a day later, in the Boundless Starfield.

As the strongest super sect in this star sea that relies on Yan, the Wuji Divine Sect possesses thousands of ancient cultivation stars, and its mountain-protecting formation was jointly set up by three Immortal Kings, making it overwhelmingly powerful.

However, at this moment, the entire sky above the sect was completely enveloped by countless golden sword lights!

"Wu Fan! How dare you offend my Wuji Divine Sect!"

On the main peak of the sect, the Wuji Sect Master stood in mid-air, roaring fiercely, yet deep in his eyes, he revealed an undisguised fear:

"Your Majesty the Yan Emperor is the ruler of Heaven's Dao. If you dare to harm us in the slightest, Heaven's Dao will surely annihilate your soul and spirit!"

"The Way of Heaven? Does it even deserve to be called Heaven?"

Wu Fan stood atop the sky, not even glancing at him, but simply pressed his fingers down.

"The Heavenly Evolution of Immortal Slaying, falls."

boom!

Hundreds of millions of golden immortal swords, each tens of thousands of feet long, crashed down from the heavens!

The Wuji Qiankun Grand Formation, which was said to be able to withstand a blow from an Immortal Emperor, shattered like fragile glass the moment it came into contact with the sword light!

"puff!"

The Wuji Sect Master and several Grand Luo Elders under his command coughed up blood, their bodies instantly covered in cracks due to the backlash from the great formation.

"Kill! Leave no one alive!"

With bloodshot eyes, the Purple Cloud Immortal King led his old troops like tigers descending a mountain, charging into the sect's protective formation. In an instant, the light of swords and the sea of ​​lightning engulfed the entire main peak.

Screams and pleas for mercy echoed through the sky.

The once invincible Wuji Divine Sect was utterly destroyed in the face of Wu Fan and his enraged former subordinates, like a clay chicken or a clay dog.

boom!

Wu Fan shattered the Wuji Sect Master's physical body with a single palm strike, forcibly releasing the perfect laws contained within his body.

"Xiaoya, accept this!"

"Here you are!"

Xiaoya opened her arms, and endless chains of divine order appeared around her.

The fragments of Heavenly Dao rules that had spilled out from the bodies of the fallen powerful beings transformed into a sky full of colorful rays of light, which surged wildly into her body.

hum!

As she absorbed the massive power of the rules, Xiaoya's small body suddenly erupted with an incomparably divine and dazzling radiance.

Under the astonished gaze of the immortals, the silver-haired girl, who was originally only six or seven years old, began to grow taller and transform inch by inch in the divine light.

The chubby, childish look has faded, replaced by a stunningly beautiful and captivating face.

Her long, silvery-white hair cascaded down to her ankles like a waterfall of stars, and she was surrounded by the aura of the Nine Heavens and the Yellow Emperor. In her crimson eyes was the supreme majesty that ruled over all the heavens and the myriad worlds!

The Heavenly Goddess reveals her true form for the first time!

"Such immense power..."

Xiaoya looked down at her long, slender hands, a captivating gleam in her beautiful eyes.

"Big brother, keep going! As long as we crush the remaining rebellious sects, I will be able to reunite my three-fold origin."

"Alright! Let's fight our way through!"

Wu Fan laughed heartily, and with a flick of his sleeve, he gathered in his palm the massive amount of top-grade immortal essence, divine source immortal veins, and dozens of Dao fruits accumulated by the Wuji Divine Sect over 100,000 years.

Nine Nether Ancient Sect, Supreme Mysterious Sect, Eternal Calamity Demon Abyss...

In the following days, an unprecedented blood storm swept across the entire endless star sea!

The former Immortal Emperor, with his loyal followers, swept across the heavens, crushing one once invincible super lineage after another.

The blood of the traitors stained the star field red, and countless false gods who stole the origin of the Heavenly Dao were all exterminated!

Above the mountains of corpses and seas of blood cleared along the way, Wu Fan sat cross-legged in the void, with a vast ocean of immortal power, formed by the combined resources of dozens of super sects, floating above his head.

"When the origin is returned to its rightful place, all paths come to pay homage."

Wu Fan whispered something and swallowed the massive amount of resources in one gulp.

Rumble!

Accompanied by a Daoist cry that shattered the Three Thousand Star Realms.

Two perfect laws condensed into a supreme Dao fruit, its dazzling golden light illuminating the vast world!

In an instant, his aura transcended the levels of True Immortal, Profound Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi, Daluo, and Immortal King... returning him to his peak!

The realm of the Immortal Emperor has returned in its entirety!

Wu Fan slowly rose, his feet treading on countless star rivers, his profound gaze piercing through layers of boundary walls, landing directly on the Central Immortal Court, the core of the Great Thousand World.

"Yan, wash your neck clean and wait to die."
