A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

Although the current Heavenly Heart Mark may not be as good as when it was first formed, the effect will not be too bad, and it will definitely increase the probability of a cultivator entering the Immortal King realm by a lot.

The difference between ancient emperors and those who attained enlightenment through unconventional means lies precisely here.

For someone who has attained enlightenment through unorthodox means to fight against an ancient emperor who has fused with the Heavenly Heart Mark, it's tantamount to fighting against the entire universe. Therefore, cultivators who have attained enlightenment through unorthodox means are generally no match for ancient emperors.

Moreover, the Heavenly Heart Mark itself contains the most fundamental mysteries of this world.

Before attaining enlightenment, the ancient emperors believed that their Dao was flawless. However, after attaining enlightenment, they would revise their scriptures because they received the mark of Heaven, broadened their horizons, and realized their shortcomings.

The Heavenly Heart Mark is the most important opportunity after becoming an Emperor, and it is also the most core and precious thing for an Emperor.

The Heavenly Heart Mark was forcibly detained by Yunhua, completely revealing itself to him.

This means that if someone triggers the tribulation to become an emperor, even if they successfully overcome the tribulation, they will not be able to condense the Heavenly Heart Mark.

As Yunhua dissected the Heavenly Heart Mark, an earth-shattering phenomenon occurred throughout the secret chamber. In that instant, countless figures emerged, all traces left by powerful figures throughout history, each one incomparably powerful and awe-inspiring.

Yunhua could see that all the great emperors and ancient sovereigns of past dynasties had appeared, and their great Daos were manifested in the Heavenly Heart Imprint.

At the very core of the Heavenly Heart Imprint is a chaotic blue lotus that has not yet completely dissipated; that is the Dao of the Azure Emperor.

Yun Hua's eyes flashed, and countless Great Dao rules within the Heavenly Heart Imprint manifested in his eyes.

Like peeling back the layers of a cocoon, traces of the Great Dao appeared one by one. Yunhua watched intently, each strand of the Great Dao's rules transforming into countless runes, captivating his mind.

Yunhua sat there quietly, motionless, for three hundred years. He was comprehending, creating, and expounding the Dao, and his whole being appeared increasingly profound and unfathomable.

As he came to understand the imprint of the Heavenly Heart, he gradually gained many new insights. He started anew, further revising, comprehending, and evolving the profound meaning of the scriptures that was unique to him.

Whether it was the Chaos Emperor Scripture or the Yunhua Scripture, Yunhua could find some flaws and shortcomings. As for this scripture of the Samsara Secret Realm, Yunhua also created it from scratch.

However, this secret realm requires one to comprehend enough of the laws of reincarnation based on the scriptures of the Reincarnation Scroll and then condense the secret realm seed oneself. Yunhua estimates that only someone with talent and ruthlessness like Yunhua can open this secret realm before becoming a Quasi-Emperor.

The Chaos Emperor Scripture requires at least a flawed Chaos Body to cultivate, and ultimately one can elevate their physique to a flawless Chaos Body and then attain the Dao of the Chaos Emperor.

However, it would take too long. Yunhua estimated that if a flawed Chaos Body were to cultivate this Chaos Emperor Scripture, it would take at least nine thousand years to reach the level of alternative enlightenment.

Then, by evolving into a flawless chaotic body, one can attain the Dao of the Chaos Emperor even in an era with emperors, and condense the Chaos Heavenly Heart with the myriad paths of chaos. This is probably the only advantage of this Chaos Emperor Scripture.

Yun Hua also sublimated all those forbidden secret techniques, reaching the level of heaven and earth. The strongest was his comprehension of the Law of Life, because Yun Hua used the killing intent of the Immortal King to refine his body, and used the Chaos Life and Death Technique, the Chaos Creation Technique, and the Life Seal countless times.

His understanding of the laws of life almost reached the level of immortality, surpassing Yunhua's Chaos Dao and Opening Dao. However, this also allowed Yunhua to successfully comprehend the prototype of his method to live out his next life.

During this process, the immortal laws that Yunhua infused into his physical body and primordial spirit between the twelfth-grade blood lotus and his primordial spirit became immortal artifacts.

Only the Divine Mark Purple Gold Pagoda and the Gate of All Heavens remain as Supreme Emperor Weapons. With four Immortal Artifacts and two Emperor Weapons, Yunhua is quite wealthy.

"Time flies, three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. The Heavenly Heart Mark truly lives up to its name!" Yun Hua's eyes grew even deeper. After observing the Heavenly Heart Mark for three hundred years, he had made further progress and reached a whole new level of understanding of the Great Dao.

Yunhua looked out at the world. The essence of heaven and earth on the ancient star was becoming increasingly scarce. Even in the better-off Mountain and Sea Realm, one could only cultivate to the Immortal Level 3 and Sever the Dao.

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is becoming increasingly lofty and obscure, making it more difficult for cultivators to comprehend it. Meanwhile, on the ancient primordial star in the outside world, on the Central Plains, the Western Zhou Dynasty is in full swing, though it is already declining.

The Three Pure Ones' Daoist temple in the Mountain and Sea Realm has declined and died. The spiritual emperor corpses of the three Heavenly Venerables are either asleep or have left the ancient primordial star.

Yunhua ignored all of that. His divine eyes pierced through the void, and he could see that the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin was about to reach Mars in the starry sky, probably in a few years.

Without a ruthless person controlling it, the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin will not descend upon Mount Tai. Only Mars is one of its transit points, after all, Mars is too close to the ancient star of the primordial world, and Mars also has a celestial path that can lead to a strange world with longevity substances.

Yunhua left the small world she had created and took a step forward, arriving at the eye of the North Sea of ​​Yinghuo.

The sea eye has dried up, with no water flow left, only sand and boulders, and it looks as if it has been washed by blood, turning the area crimson.

Yunhua tore open space, opening a small world beneath the eye of Yinghuo Sea. Instantly, an extremely sinister aura surged forth, chilling everyone to the bone.

He walked straight in, and along the way he heard the sound of tsunamis. Below the eye of the sea was a vast world, as if the surface of a planet had been sealed beneath it.

Yunhua did not disturb the monks in the Great Thunderclap Temple. At present, the life force of Yinghuo is weak, and the dragon vein is about to dry up.

Chapter 166 The Sea of ​​Mars, A Realm Tomb

In the Great Thunderclap Temple, only a very few monks remained to guard it. At this time, Shakyamuni was traveling through the starry sky with Taiqing Laozi, and it was unknown when they would return.

There are seals in many places underground, but they are useless to Zhou Tong, as if they don't exist.

Not far along, Yunhua heard the sound of chanting sutras. Ahead was a large ship, from which Buddhist chants emanated. This was the seal that Shakyamuni Buddha had placed here, but now, thousands of years later, the seal was almost dissipating.

After passing the ancient ship, he finally entered this underground world.

Ahead lay a vast, black ocean, seemingly endless and boundless. However, the water here was lifeless and devoid of fish; utterly silent.

In that black ocean, several ghost ships were sailing, flickering with green will-o'-the-wisps, creating an indescribably eerie atmosphere.

The vast ocean was pitch black, with towering waves and the sound of tsunamis echoing as the waves crashed against the sky.

Besides these, there was also a hazy mist, and ghost ships sailing and wandering in the sky. They were laden with bones and corpses, all of whom had died on this star.

There are ordinary people who cannot cultivate, and there are also saintly experts who can pluck stars from the sky and seize the moon. Everything is so strange and chilling.

When Yunhua appeared, the aura of the living spread, as if disturbing these long-deceased dead. One by one, the corpses came back to life, roaring and howling, and some even tried to pounce on him.

"Ignorant fool." Yun Hua commented calmly, his aura of supreme authority flashing by. A figure like him could turn even a Great Sage to ashes with just his aura, let alone these decaying corpses!

"Since you have fallen, let dust return to dust and ashes to ashes. Why disturb the realm of the living? So, rest in peace."

"boom!"

Heaven and earth wailed, and all paths trembled. His will dominated the universe, and his Dao waves swept across, destroying everything in their path. No strange or ominous thing could get close to him; he was completely annihilated!

In an instant, the ghost ships and the corpses on them vanished, utterly crushed into the earth and sky. The sea calmed down, all was silent, even the waves subsided, the entire ocean was deathly still, without a single sound.

Yunhua pointed his finger, and hundreds of millions of feet of seawater parted, far more powerful than Moses parting the sea. It directly opened up a channel, isolating the stagnant seawater and leading straight to the seabed.

As Yunhua descended, she felt as if she had traveled across an entire star field before finally breaking through the water layer and reaching the bottom.

This is an empty space on the seabed, shrouded in the dark, inky seawater that doesn't fall. On the ground lie vast expanses of skeletons, an endless sight that sends chills down one's spine.

“A mausoleum for a world… that’s quite a grand undertaking!” Yun Hua’s eyes flickered, as if he were looking back along the river of time.

Images flashed through his pupils, depicting the era in which this world's mausoleums took shape.

"It's probably a tomb from the time of the Emperor, the era of the Heavenly Court!" Yunhua sighed inwardly. With the collapse of the Heavenly Court, all the legends and myths were buried.

This planet, named Yinghuo, was once vibrant and a cradle of life, but a great interstellar war destroyed everything.

Countless powerful warriors perished in the battle, and countless sacred bones were buried there. It is a burial ground for heroic spirits, and the North Sea Demon Eye was sealed there, making it a veritable hell on earth!

That battle, known as the War of the Gods, buried an era, ravaged the boundaries of the universe, destroyed numerous star fields, and effectively wiped out all the powerful beings of that period.

The battle was so fierce that even the Celestial Venerables had to descend to earth to participate. Not only were their weapons destroyed, but they themselves also perished.

Back then, the Heavenly Emperor, riding the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains, devoured one life-giving ancient star after another, eventually reaching Mars, where he engaged in a great battle with all the cultivators of Mars and the ancient primordial stars, including the remnants of the Kunlun clan.

The ancient star Yinghuo was once the most terrifying battlefield, where the fighting reached a frenzy, all living beings were destroyed, and the Kunlun remnants even used the Immortal Bell.

Yunhua continued forward. This world tomb contained countless weapons and corpses, densely packed together, with the cold bodies of living beings everywhere, stretching as far as the eye could see. These were the beings who died back then, and there was even the broken body of the Emperor Dao Supreme among them!

Yunhua descended upon it, where countless broken weapons and banners lay scattered on the ground, including many quasi-Emperor weapons. Although they were destroyed beyond repair and even the divinity of the materials had vanished, it was clear that they were definitely quasi-Emperor weapons, which showed how tragic the battle was back then.

Moreover, there is more than one such battlefield; they are arranged in a concentric circle pattern, and the deeper you go, the more horrific corpses you will find.

These corpses all shared a common characteristic: they had lost all their blood essence, and the remaining parts of the body had decayed and lost their mystique.

Extreme light burst forth, an imperial array blocked the way, runes appeared everywhere, both in the sky and on the ground, as soon as Yun Hua arrived, they appeared densely, chaotic energy appeared, and a divine waterfall descended from the sky, which was a river of divine power flowing.

And this was not the end. In an instant, the world changed drastically, and one after another, burning stars flew in, as if the universe was being destroyed. This place had become its own world. The creation of heaven and earth, the spread of chaos, the destruction of stars, were unstoppable.

"Crack!"

With fingers joined together to form a sword, it severed all paths, and the emerging magic array was shattered and exploded in the heavens and earth.

The battlefield has many layers, all sealed away by imperial figures in the past. If anyone were to break in, it would unleash terrifying power, trapping and killing them. Moreover, the deeper one goes, the deeper the seal becomes, and the more complex the patterns grow. Even ordinary supreme beings would frown, for this is a method used by beings of equal standing to them. Furthermore, the setup here was not done by a single person, but by a group of supreme beings who had all participated in its creation!

"That's interesting, but it won't stop me."

Yun Hua spoke softly, directly attacking, triggering numerous formations to trap and kill him. His eyes, opening and closing, swirled with chaotic energy, reflecting the cycles of time, allowing him to directly perceive the true nature of the patterns. Then, an incomparably terrifying aura erupted from his body, bursting forth with dazzling immortal light, like a celestial being ascending to heaven, utterly destructive and unstoppable, as if a star field were trembling, or as if a galaxy were falling—this was boundless divine power.

This scene was like the annihilation of countless ages and the destruction of all worlds. It was a confrontation with the methods of the emperors and sovereigns of the past. However, even if those people appeared before Yunhua in their true forms, they would only perish, let alone their remaining methods.

The magic array crumbled piece by piece, its patterns obliterated between heaven and earth. Nothing could stop him; he carved a clear path through it. Everything on the battlefield was laid out before him for his perusal.

The ground was covered with endless corpses, the soil black and red, formed from countless pools of blood and splattered blood. In battles of that caliber, it was rare to find any corpses left behind, except for the supreme beings.

However, although those people perished in ancient times, their remains still retain some vitality. This is due to their unparalleled and powerful cultivation in life, which allows them to remain alive.

Yunhua spent some time piecing together several extremely damaged corpses belonging to the Supreme Emperors. He even discovered two Imperial Weapons, but unfortunately, even the gods had been destroyed, and the materials used in the weapons were almost completely decayed.

Chapter 167 Surviving a Sneak Attack

“The essence within these remains has been devoured.” Yun Hua’s expression was solemn. After a careful examination, he frowned. “However, some remains have not been completely extracted, as if an accident occurred and the process was forced to stop.”

"The Undying Emperor..." The phantom of time flickered in Yunhua's eyes as he pushed his divine sense to its limit, constantly trying to understand the situation at that time.

"The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and that strange world will always have moments of intersection over the long years. The Undying Emperor used the Flying Immortal Waterfall to pierce through it and released the immortal matter of that strange world. He used this as bait to create the situation of the opening of the Immortal Path, waiting for the supreme being lurking in the forbidden zone to take the bait."

"And when those people went mad for the path to immortality, we simply closed the net and buried them all!"

However, the Immortal Emperor's situation did not end perfectly. Every emperor and sovereign is a formidable figure, and they saw through the danger. Although they did not know that the Immortal Emperor was setting a trap, they knew that the so-called Immortal Path was flawed and ultimately chose to seal off the battlefield.

The Undying Emperor was powerful, but even without his true form, he couldn't possibly break through the elaborate schemes laid out by several imperial figures. After all, that was millions of years ago, not the time after Ye Fan's death, and it wasn't nearly as terrifying as it was then.

The immortal emperor lived for countless years and once reigned supreme over the universe, ruling over heaven and earth.

It's no wonder that such a person could devise any schemes in this universe. After all, even the Emperor sacrificed the entire universe, so how could this Heavenly Emperor be inferior to anyone else?

His path to immortality hinges on the transformation through the blood and bones of imperial figures. By consuming the flesh and blood of such individuals and absorbing their Dao principles, he achieves rebirth and nirvana.

Furthermore, his possession of the wondrous Flying Immortal Waterfall makes him arguably the most terrifying blade hanging over the heads of all the emperors.

The roar of the Fighting Saint Emperor in his later years overturned his dojo; the corpse of the Supreme Emperor lay in the deepest part of the Big Dipper Immortal Mansion, the cause of death a mystery; the remains of the Sun Saint Emperor mysteriously disappeared, their whereabouts unknown.

All of this subtly points to the second-ranked conspirator since the beginning of the mythological era, possessing both sufficient motive and the ability to realize it!

"The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths intersect with that world that repairs the Immortal Realm. Occasionally, a passage will appear throughout the ages, leading to that immortal world."

He set up a grand scheme to murder the emperors, and his plan was successful, but he couldn't enjoy the final fruits of his labor.

"After that, the two realms intersected again. It should have happened more than 80,000 years ago. The Immortal Emperor took advantage of this to launch a sneak attack on the elderly Emperor Taihuang."

With a flick of his finger, the earth cracked open, the land deep within the burial ground crumbled, and magma surged forth. Deep within the earth's core lay a cavern containing fragments of runes that intertwined to form a celestial bell, shimmering with various divine lights.

Yunhua casually shattered the immortal bell. The mere phantom of the immortal bell formed by array patterns could be destroyed with a wave of his hand. Even if it were a real immortal bell, Yunhua would not be afraid.

Yunhua entered the cave and saw several fragments of broken skin, exuding a suffocating aura. These were remnants of someone who had traveled far on the path to immortality and undergone Nirvana. The Dao principles within were familiar, resembling those of someone she had seen during the Heavenly Tribulation—a member of the Undying Emperor!

At the end of the cave, there is a large bell-shaped hole, a gap created by the impact, through which a chaotic passage has not yet closed and remains visible.

Among them, the Arctic celestial light danced, as if revealing the origin, seemingly a node on the path to immortality!

And this should also be the root cause of the fierce battle back then. How could the appearance of a path to immortality not drive the supreme beings lurking in the forbidden zone crazy and fight to the point of destroying the stars!

Countless ages have passed, and the Supreme Being has long since vanished, yet this chaotic cave has not disappeared. It is because within it sits two illusory figures facing each other, locked in a standoff. It is their existence that keeps this path, which should have closed long ago, still open.

That was the scene where the Immortal Emperor and the Great Emperor Wushi once confronted each other, leaving behind indelible traces of the Dao.

Above this cave dwelling, there was a blood-red fleshy ball, which looked like a terrifying giant cocoon.

There is an extremely terrifying demonic power that makes cultivators who have not reached the Quasi-Emperor realm feel an urge to sacrifice themselves for this fleshy ball whenever they see it.

"Immortal old bird, I knew you were undergoing Nirvana. Your good days are over," Yun Hua said sinisterly to the fleshy ball of the Immortal Emperor undergoing Nirvana.

The Immortal Emperor was undergoing a transformation and had almost lost his senses of the outside world. He was confident that no one could break his transformation, because the instincts of the flesh ball alone were no less than those of an emperor.

Instead of attacking the Undying Emperor, Yunhua planned to study the Undying Emperor's path to Nirvana and perfect his own method for living out his next life.

The immortal emperor, who was undergoing Nirvana, exposed his method of Nirvana on the path to immortality in the mortal world to Yunhua without any concealment. A year later, Yunhua gained a lot and the method of living out the next life was half perfected.

As he continued to comprehend the principles of Nirvana, he became increasingly transcendent, and the light in his eyes grew ever deeper, making him seem unfathomable.

"That's enough! It's time to let the immortal bird taste what it's like to be ambushed!" Yun Hua stood up and looked at the fleshy ball belonging to the immortal emperor not far away.

Yunhua took out four immortal artifacts and two imperial artifacts, used the Twelve Blood Lotuses and the Chaos Pearl to seal off the immortal bird's path to survival, and formed an unparalleled killing sword formation with the immortal sword and the sword of primordial spirit, while the Gate of All Heavens and the Divine Mark Purple Gold Pagoda protected her.

A terrifying celestial light burst forth, and the two celestial swords seemed to split the heavens and earth, enveloping the fleshy ball with countless sword beams.

However, the Immortal Emperor also had a backup plan. Although he was undergoing a transformation and was in the most dangerous state, he still possessed a sliver of instinct that was enough to contend with an ordinary emperor.

After sensing Yun Hua's overwhelming and terrifying aura, the fleshy ball trembled, and five-colored immortal light burst forth from it, resisting the sharpness of the immortal sword.

In an instant, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth trembled, and the chaotic light and immortal energy completely enveloped Yunhua and the fleshy ball that the Undying Emperor had transformed into.

"Boom!!"

The collision of the sword's edge and the five-colored immortal light unleashed a vast power that shook the world. The entire planet Yinghuo seemed to have transformed into a small boat on the sea, which could capsize at any moment.
