Chapter 22 The Emperor's Scheme, the Stone Emperor's Arrogance
The Immortal Emperor's Time and Space
Deep within the Ancient Emperor Mountain, the Immortal Emperor's celestial light condensed, his expression extremely solemn. As he sensed the illusory figure of the Emperor gradually emerging on the Flying Immortal Star in the sky, a chill ran through his heart.
"Emperor...did he really perish back then?"
This question had been lingering in his mind ever since that battle ended.
He never believed that the emperor who dominated the mythological era and ruled over all the heavens would die so easily.
Now, witnessing firsthand the earth-shattering scheme laid out by the Emperor in the heavens—silently suppressing a Heavenly Venerable, offering the supreme essence as a sacrifice to the great array, and triggering the reorganization of the Immortal Cauldron—his skill and profound foundation only intensified his suspicions.
A moment later, the Undying Emperor activated his divine sense, transcending time and space, and contacted the Eternal Heavenly Venerable and the Carefree Heavenly Venerable, who had long been hidden in the forbidden zone.
"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, Fellow Daoist Xiaoyao, is what we see in the celestial canopy a contingency plan for resurrection laid down by the Emperor back then?"
Within the Immortal Tomb, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity felt an even greater chill in his heart, and slowly replied, "I don't know!"
"But now that I think about it, it's no wonder that after that battle, Fellow Daoist Jiemie vanished without a trace. It turns out that he was secretly suppressed by the Emperor on the path to immortality and became a sacrifice pawn."
In the past, he joined the Heavenly Court alongside the three Heavenly Venerables, Xiaoyao and Jiemie, to rule the vast universe.
The fact that the Emperor could suppress a Celestial Venerable of the same level without anyone noticing, and even seal him away for eternity to use in his path to immortality, made him increasingly alarmed, and a strange sense of crisis lingered in his heart.
"yes!"
The divine thought of the Carefree Celestial Venerable arrived, equally solemn: "Back in the Heavenly Court, the Emperor never mentioned his exploration of the path to immortality on the Flying Immortal Star. We knew nothing about it. He hid it far too well!"
After a moment of silence, the Immortal Emperor's divine sense resounded again, his tone filled with sighs.
"A secret spanning countless ages! The Emperor is indeed unfathomable. As expected of the Emperor, even in his suspected demise, he was still able to orchestrate such a grand scheme spanning countless ages, leaving us far behind!"
The divine thoughts of the three Heavenly Venerables and the Undying Emperor intertwined, and they all fell silent. The Emperor's layout in the sky was like a sharp sword hanging over their hearts, forcing them to re-examine this former mythical overlord.
In the sky
Ye Fan did not join the other supreme beings in exploring the path to immortality. Instead, he turned back, harnessed the divine light path, and rushed straight towards the Big Dipper.
The Great Dao runs through the Eastern Wilderness, eventually landing before the Immortal Mountain, a place with an ancient and infamous reputation.
The once mighty Undying Mountain, which once dominated the heavens and terrified all races, is now a shadow of its former self, with only the Stone Emperor and an extremely old supreme being clinging to life.
The old supreme being had exhausted his lifespan and his aura was declining. He was powerless to reverse the situation, and even if he launched the Dark Turmoil, he could not prolong his life.
Ye Fan looked at him but did not kill him. He simply waved his hand and let him go. Then, his gaze sharpened and locked onto the Stone Emperor at the summit of Undying Mountain.
Holding an ancient halberd, the Stone Emperor stood tall and imposing like a god or demon, surrounded by overwhelming malevolent energy, firmly atop the main peak of the Undying Mountain.
He looked down at Ye Fan, his tone filled with arrogance and killing intent, his voice resounding through the mountains: "The Undying Mountain and the Void lineage are mortal enemies for generations; and with the Holy Body clan, they are even more irreconcilable! You are both the son-in-law of the Void Emperor and a Great Accomplished Holy Body. Today, stepping into the Undying Mountain, you will only face death!"
Before he could finish speaking, a glint of light flashed in the Stone Emperor's eyes, and he made a wild and arrogant statement: "Ten moves are the limit! If I cannot kill you within ten moves, I will end my own life here!"
After saying that, he burst into laughter, his hair flying wildly, his ancient emperor's divine might surging, revealing the arrogance that came from the Great Perfection of the Holy Spirit's enlightenment.
Under the Canopy
The Ji family was already in an uproar. The eldest Ji family member, Sheng, stared at the screen, his eyes reddening, and laughed loudly through tears: "Hahaha! Good! Good lad! This malignant tumor, Undying Mountain, is about to be flattened by my Ji family's son-in-law!"
He believed that Ye Fan, who had defeated the Free and Unfettered Celestial Venerable, would have no problem dealing with an injured Stone Emperor!
Moreover, the Ji family's hatred for the Undying Mountain runs deep in their bones.
Back when the Void Emperor was alive, the Undying Mountain was the most active forbidden zone, repeatedly launching dark disturbances that took the Void Emperor a lifetime of energy to quell.
Later, the Void Emperor fell, and the Undying Mountain repeatedly stirred up dark turmoil. Several imperial sons of the Ji family died in the deep space universe in order to quell the turmoil, paying the price with their lives.
None of the other members of the Ji family objected to what the eldest brother, Sheng, had said.
Ye Fan's achievements in the Heavenly Curtain were too terrifying. He killed the Carefree Heavenly Venerable and pacified the Sea of Reincarnation. Now, after several years of cultivation, his cultivation has become more and more profound. Everyone firmly believes that he can defeat the Stone Emperor and quell the Undying Mountain. All that remains in their hearts is the joy of revenge.
Meanwhile, in the Undying Mountain
The Stone Emperor stared at Ye Fan's provocative figure in the sky, his face icy cold. He roared, "Ignorant brat! Do you really think that killing an elderly Celestial Venerable gives you the right to be arrogant and conceited? Within ten moves, I will surely kill you and make you pay for your blood debt!"
The sound was like a thunderclap, resounding throughout all the forbidden zones of the heavens, its arrogance and killing intent undisguised.
He was a Saint Spirit who had attained the Great Perfection of the Dao, and his combat power far surpassed that of ordinary ancient emperors. In addition, the Saint Spirit race was born with a sense of superiority, which made him look down on all those who had not attained the Dao of the Saint Spirit. He believed that he was invincible and did not take Ye Fan seriously at all.
Deep within the Sea of Reincarnation, the Carefree Celestial Venerable also heard the Stone Emperor's arrogant words, and a disdainful sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.
"These Holy Spirits are all mentally unstable. It's not uncommon for Holy Spirits to preach, but only Stone Emperor is so arrogant as to think he's invincible."
With his sharp eyes, he had already seen that the Stone Emperor in the sky had hidden injuries and had not fully recovered.
It was precisely for this reason that the Stone Emperor made a ten-move agreement, attempting to rely on the Holy Spirit's strength to quickly finish the battle and cover up his own injuries.
"I'd like to see how you die!"
The carefree Celestial Venerable remained completely unmoved, even finding it somewhat amusing.
Ye Fan is too eccentric; he doesn't believe this arrogant stone can defeat him.
Moreover, he died at Ye Fan's hands, which was the same as his own time river, and he had no resentment in his heart.
Now he has no grudge against Ye Fan and has never started any dark turmoil. Instead, he has a thought: if he can train this kid in the future, and he can share the opportunity when he masters the secret to becoming an immortal, why not!
Void Emperor Time and Space
Countless beings witnessed Ye Fan facing off against the Stone Emperor in the sky, and their emotions surged instantly.
"It's that demon! The Stone Emperor!"
"I wonder if Ye Fan can withstand it..."
"The Stone Emperor is too powerful. Even the Void Emperor could only contend with him and could not completely suppress him!"
The Stone Emperor stirred up darkness and turmoil in this space-time several times, and fought to the death with the Void Emperor many times. His ferocious power has long been engraved in the hearts of all living beings, leaving an indelible shadow.
In the eyes of many, this supreme being of perfect holy spirit is even more terrifying than the fallen Celestial Venerable of Leisure.
