Covering the Heavens: Its fortune endures forever, sweeping across all heavens.

But Ye Fan always bore the greatest pressure. He soared like an eagle and spun like a roc, leaping like a tiger and a dragon, entangled with Qin Tian's avatar, and caused one major collision after another.

This was an unimaginable battle, a pure life-or-death struggle, intense beyond compare.

That cauldron, forged from celestial gold, was already broken and tattered, its primordial energy scattered, giving it the feel of a Cospree Immortal Cauldron.

Qin Tian, ​​Ye Fan's master, personally stepped in, adding more responsibility to Ye Fan's shoulders.

He patted Ye Fan on the shoulder earnestly and told him, "I am often ill, you should strive to improve yourself."

Ye Fan replied, "You're too kind, old lady. I'm too frail to bear such a heavy burden."

Of course, the above scene was just Qin Tian's imagination. The actual scene was Ye Fan being beaten until his holy blood splattered everywhere.

The Heavenly Tribulation projection didn't say much. It slapped him on the shoulder, blasting half of his body apart. His arm flew off and crashed onto the planet.

"The Holy Body was destroyed? Are you kidding me!" Pang Bo, who was watching, almost popped his eyes out.

As his best friend, no one knew better than him just how strong Ye Fan's Holy Body was.

In terms of physical strength, the Sacred Body is the undisputed leader in the Nine Heavens. Even the Chaos Body and the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo can only be on par with it in terms of physical strength.

But right now, an avatar created by the simulation of heaven and earth can surpass the sacred body in terms of physical strength. Isn't that too incredible?

The deity explained, "This is the forbidden domain of the Heavenly Venerable. His forbidden path is the most basic and simplest of the three treasures: essence, energy, and spirit."

"Simply put, his essence, energy, and spirit surpass the limits allowed by the universe, making him far more powerful than the sacred body that stands at the pinnacle of the universe," the Divine Venerable explained.

Although the Dao body evolved from the universe is not enough to directly break through the limitations of the universe, it can still reach the limits of the universe.

The Holy Body's origin is also its own origin, and it is twice the peak of the human realm, which is enough to make it a two-star Holy Body.

The difference in physical strength was twice that of Ye Fan, who possessed a one-star Saint Body.

It's like a 200-pound boxer fighting a 100-pound boxer in the ring. In an instant, the 200-pound boxer has to kneel down and beg the 100-pound boxer not to die.

Qin Tian's ancestral aperture between his eyebrows opened, radiating golden divine light. The seven secret realms resonated, and the projection of the Heavenly Tribulation made him appear like an unparalleled celestial being who had arrived from the Chaotic Ancient Era.

The battle lasted a long time, during which cultivators from all walks of life took turns fighting, each of them withstanding one blow, but soon they were too exhausted to continue.

Only Ye Fan was left to withstand the firepower of Qin Tian's avatar.

In this battle, Ye Fan was on the verge of death several times and was repeatedly defeated, but he persevered. He used the "Zhe" secret technique with great skill, almost catching up with Qin Tian.

In the end, the lightning tribulation gradually dissipated.

Ye Fan vanished completely, leaving only a drop of essence blood, which floated in the void, flawless crimson, emanating an astonishing aura.

The flawless crimson blood essence, carrying a fragment of primordial spirit, painstakingly absorbed the essence from all directions to repair itself, like a raging fire. The flames gathered, evolved into symbols, and then transformed into a furnace.

"Now's the time!" someone shouted in the void, decisively summoning a quasi-emperor forbidden artifact and unleashing a devastating attack.

"Boom!"

The attack from a Quasi-Emperor was unmatched; even the slightest fluctuation could shatter a galaxy. Pang Bo and the twelve sacred beasts were furious, but to their dismay, they were powerless to intervene in this attack at the Quasi-Emperor level.

Suddenly, thunder roared, and the heavenly tribulation that was about to dissipate expanded violently. Qin Tian's avatar, which had already become ethereal, reappeared, his eyes deep and flashing with a cold light.

A cold shout echoed throughout the heavens and the universe: "How dare you touch my disciple!"

Chapter 421 Opening the Second Life

An unparalleled deity manifested from the lightning tribulation. He had thick black hair, and his double pupils shone brightly under the lightning. As the two pupils, one large and one small, moved, chaotic energy flowed out, making him extremely terrifying.

The Celestial Venerable's avatar raised his hand, and the body constructed from lightning tribulation triggered the characteristics of the Heavenly Tribulation the moment it came into contact with the Quasi-Emperor's forbidden artifact, causing its power to surge a million times.

Qin Tian raised his hand, and the blood formed from the lightning tribulation turned a flawless crimson, covering his entire arm and radiating the aura of a quasi-emperor.

With a single slap, the power of the Great Dao was shaken by the flawless crimson blood, sending the quasi-emperor weapon flying. The palm shattered ten thousand stars and broke the void, and even the person who controlled the weapon was turned into bloody mud.

The crowd under the starry sky stared wide-eyed, exclaiming in disbelief, "The tribulation lightning manifested on its own? To protect Ye Fan?!"

"How can this be!"

“Nothing is impossible, that’s the Celestial Venerable!” a fanatic shouted.

"He is different from the projection of the ancient emperors... He is still alive!" The protector of the Emperor's Path calmly deduced, "Therefore, when Heaven and Earth summoned his projection, it was inevitable that it would connect with the original body!"

The protector himself was utterly astonished as he spoke: "Heavens! Is the Celestial Venerable about to rival the Great Emperor?!"

"How old is he!"

"I knew it! The Celestial Venerable was destined to become an Emperor!"

"He is invincible!" Qin Tian's fans exclaimed excitedly, their voices filled with unwavering conviction.

Although the Lord of the Underworld said that Qin Tian's path to enlightenment was over, some people still held onto hope for him.

The fundamental source of the Great Dao has been damaged, and the path forward is cut off, but it is not without a solution.

Once upon a time, a divine being transformed in dire circumstances and returned from the ashes.

At the end of the ancient era, the divine being Di Que fought a battle with the Fighting Saint Emperor. The two fought until their origins were exhausted, their Great Dao collapsed, and their lives were in danger.

The Fighting Saint Emperor was saved by the elixir of immortality, while the Divine Man Di Que managed to live a second life through his own efforts.

Unfortunately, Di Que, who was reborn, was still no match for the monkey who ate the peaches of immortality. He lived a life of melancholy until the Heavenly Emperor Li finally emerged from the divine source and became an emperor.

After Qin Tian's avatar destroyed the Quasi-Emperor's forbidden artifact, it did not dissipate. Instead, it stood above the starry river, surveying its surroundings with deep and terrifying eyes. Only after Ye Fan returned from his Nirvana did this avatar completely disappear.

……

On the Lingbao Sendai, Qin Tian's will permeated the vast star field. He seemed to have transformed into an unchanging celestial body. Time lost its meaning for him; a year, a million years, were all the same, passing in the blink of an eye.

Even after destruction, there will always be a day of rebirth. In this realm, even the most supreme emperor does not have the ability to truly lose control of the material universe.

Even if they are reduced to dust by the Emperor's divine might, they will eventually reunite.

Qin Tian was surrounded by clear and bright divine fire. Only a thin layer of the brilliant Immortal Platform Origin Liquid remained, but it still shimmered with dazzling light, like a ball of flame.

His body withered, becoming frighteningly thin, skin and bones, like a flower that had been strangled.

But beneath this withered surface lies an immense power capable of shaking the universe.

The flawless crimson blood within his body flowed, surging through his limbs and bones, and surging within his primordial world, granting his physical body unparalleled power. A faint aura of supreme authority permeated the air, emitting a thunderous sound that tore through the void.

With the slightest movement, the void groaned in agony, and all paths submitted to this immense power.

Unfortunately, within the body of the Saint, there was still a trace of purple-gold Saint blood. No matter how Qin Tian expelled it from his body, new purple-gold blood would always emerge, turning into obstacles and flaws to prevent him from completing the final leap.

Qin Tian opened his eyes, and countless scenes of star fields being born and dying, and billions of living beings praying flashed before his eyes, eventually returning to calm and turning into a corner of his dark pupils.

"The Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique actually has such a use," Qin Tian said thoughtfully.

Although it's just a casual technique, it still has the ability to control the Heavenly Tribulation. In particular, the Heavenly Tribulation actively evolves into Qin Tian's Dharma Body, which amplifies this ability to manipulate the Heavenly Tribulation countless times.

Qin Tian looked down at his body: "It's a pity that I can never truly reach the realm of flawless crimson blood."

Qin Tian was helpless. This flawless crimson blood was only temporary and far inferior to the real flawless crimson blood. In terms of energy level, it was far inferior to the crimson blood of the Great Perfection Saint Body.

He is only comparable to a Great Sage, and it is impossible for him to truly transform into a Great Accomplished Saint Body.

He merely uses the function of bloodletting to consume his lifespan and continuously produce flawless crimson blood, thus creating this disguise.

After some time has passed, this seemingly flawless crimson blood will eventually return to its ordinary state, reverting to a state of half crimson blood and half purple gold.

Of course, it's also possible that it's 70% crimson blood and 30% purple-gold blood. After all, the process of Qin Tian constantly expelling fresh blood and regenerating flawless crimson true blood is also exploring the potential of this body.

At this moment, although Qin Tian had lost his quasi-emperor body, he still possessed combat power close to that of a fully-fledged holy body thanks to his crimson blood.

Even if the Lord of the Underworld were to return, he was confident he could kill him with a single blow, crushing his primordial spirit and shattering his Great Dao with unparalleled physical strength.

Of course, there is a price to pay for acquiring this unparalleled combat power in advance.

Qin Tian's originally youthful face gradually became weathered and his figure became hunched over during the repeated refining of crimson blood.

She looks like she's in her thirties or forties now.

"It seems my plan to acquire the Emperor's body ahead of time has failed."

"That's true. After all, the Great Completion Sacred Body also has requirements for cultivation level. Not every generation of Great Completion Sacred Body can reach the Crimson Blood Flawless realm."

"In the blink of an eye, my lifespan of ten thousand years has quietly passed away!" Qin Tian sensed the gradually withering source of life within his body.

An ordinary Great Sage can live for six thousand years, a Quasi-Emperor for seven thousand, a High-Rank Quasi-Emperor for eight thousand, and a Great Emperor for ten thousand. Therefore, Gai Jiuyou's lifespan of nine thousand years is regarded as a legend by the world.

Qin Tian possessed the Sacred Body, and his own origin underwent various transformations, surpassing the Sacred Body.

It's not just about being a little harder.

Later, Qin Tian consumed the branches of the Ancient Tree of Life and a large quantity of various medicinal kings in the Kunlun Divine Mountain, extending his lifespan to a full 13,000 years, a lifespan even longer than that of a true emperor.

But now, in order to refine his crimson blood and to condense as much longevity substance as possible, his life essence, which could have lived for ten thousand years, is full of cracks, leaving him with less than a thousand years of lifespan.

Moreover, each time Qin Tian expelled the purple-gold blood and refined the crimson blood, it was an extremely painful process.

It's like your body has been hollowed out, yet you have to keep squeezing out its strength, so you have to take medicine to promote blood production. There's a kind of illusory strength and real weakness.

As the body was constantly being squeezed, streams of longevity substances gradually emerged, their energy profound and mysterious, but unfortunately, the body had already decayed.

On the surface, Qin Tian, ​​with his crimson blood, appears almost invincible, but in reality, the aura of decay has long been rooted in his very being, making it difficult for him to unleash his full combat power.

Qin Tian's will gradually withdrew from the stars, and his primordial spirit, like a torch, continuously emitted clusters of divine light.

The surrounding flames gradually became distorted under the influence of this will. Both the physical body and the will were tempered and advanced. Immortal matter roared and divine power surged.

Through constant tempering, the body gives birth to substances that promote longevity.

The enhancement of willpower, on the other hand, provides the possibility of controlling longevity substances.

Otherwise, only at the moment of alternation between life and death will that sluggish longevity substance come into motion, cleanse the wheel of life, and thus help living beings to live another life.

However, this method is like gambling; its success depends entirely on whether the longevity substance can be activated, and the success rate is less than 50%.

This is one of the reasons why so few people manage to live out a second life on their own.

You not only need a huge amount of longevity material, but also the method to manipulate it.

Throughout history, very few great emperors have managed to live a second or third life through their own abilities, and this is the reason why.

Because no one can manipulate the immortal substance, and can only be driven by instinct, it is a transformation in one lifetime, and no one can control whether one lives or dies.

However, there are ways to manipulate longevity substances.

The Ruthless Great Emperor's Undying Heavenly Art is a method to control the longevity substance to condense a divine embryo, thereby transforming into a new life.

In the original novel, Ye Fan condensed longevity substances in advance, transforming them into a divine embryo, in an attempt to live out his third life through this method.

Unfortunately, the Undying Emperor attacked Ye Fan in his second incarnation in his later years. The battle with the true Heavenly Emperor took a heavy toll on him, completely destroying his divine embryo.

Although Qin Tian had mastered the Undying Heavenly Art, his limited amount of longevity material was clearly insufficient to condense a divine embryo, and he also did not have the time to condense a divine embryo little by little.

In the original story, Ye Fan spent an unknown number of years, but given his lifespan, the time it took to condense the divine embryo must have been considerable.

It would take at least one or two hundred years. Qin Tian didn't have that much time to condense his divine embryo; he needed to transform as quickly as possible.

The best method is to directly flush it away with a longevity substance; this is the simplest, but also the most dangerous.

This is true for the vast majority of beings who undergo a second transformation.

Unconsciously, they allow the substances of immortality to wash over their bodies, thus living out a second life.

The Jiang Taixu that Qin Tian saw underwent such a transformation, evolving from the primordial Qi of longevity matter, cleansing the wheel of life, and thus transforming his life.

But Qin Tian later asked Jiang Taixu about the secret to transforming into his second life.

But he couldn't explain it clearly, and he didn't even know about the innate Qi that evolved into longevity matter. His ability to transform into a second life was entirely due to luck.

However, Qin Tian wasn't completely unprepared. He created a method for cultivating willpower, which unexpectedly allowed him to activate the longevity substances within his body.

Therefore, while tempering his physical body, he also tempered his will, entrusting it to the galaxy, making full preparations for promoting the longevity substance.

As long as there is enough longevity substance in the body, this transformation will inevitably succeed.

A Supreme Heavenly Blade was reflected in Qin Tian's pupils, clear and bright, as if reflecting billions of stars.

"Success or death!" Qin Tian gripped the Supreme Heavenly Blade and drove the longevity substance as much as possible, purifying the Wheel of Life.

Wherever the longevity substance passes, the aged and decaying body is transformed back into primordial energy, as if returning to the womb.

The once dilapidated Fountain of Life was revitalized. At this moment, Qin Tian experienced the principle of rebirth, which was looking up at new life at the end of death, returning to the peak, and living a second life.

The crimson blood energy shot straight into the sky, shattering the primordial spirit fire surrounding him. It spread outwards, bursting forth from the depths of the earth's core, engulfing the entire Heavenly Soldier Ancient Star, and shaking the universe.

In an instant, it was as if a new universe was being born. His Dao Fruit shook the ages, and all the Dao trembled. The Dao of Existence governed the laws of all the Dao. This was the sublimation of life, and at the same time, it was a leap forward in the realm of Dao cultivation. His origin and laws were much stronger than before. The imperial aura spread, and all the Dao trembled.

At this moment, countless quasi-emperors throughout the universe, no matter where they were, could clearly sense that an unparalleled supreme being had appeared in the world.
