Chapter 27 The Forbidden Zone Shakes, the Supreme Being is Born!
Amidst the strange phenomena, a figure ascended from the summit of Huntian Ridge.
As he took his first step, the heavens split open. The light of countless stars, drawn by an invisible force, converged from all directions, weaving into a colossal halo spanning the Milky Way above Hun Tian Ridge. The halo slowly rotated, each rotation causing the tides of the entire starry sea to rise.
A colossal spectacle of creation unfolded beneath his feet. From the primordial chaos, an invisible axe cleaved the void in two; the pure energy rose to become the heavens, while the impure energy sank to condense into the earth. Mountains and rivers, sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning—everything was born from nothing in a mere instant, as if a real universe were being created around him!
At the very center of this strange phenomenon, a monstrous aura of blood surged into the sky.
That surge of blood energy was too immense; it didn't seem to originate from a single living being, but rather like an entire ocean suspended upside down in the sky.
The surge of qi and blood caused the tribulation clouds, which were brewing tribulation lightning, to churn violently. The tribulation lightning crackled and popped within the qi and blood, as if even the heavenly tribulation was being kept at bay by this newborn power!
Endless vitality emanated from him. His aged and withered body was undergoing a tremendous transformation. Withered blood seeped from his pores, only to be evaporated by the new life force before it could drip; cracked old skin peeled away piece by piece, revealing new flesh as smooth as jade beneath; decaying bones emitted a low rumble, the sounds of old bones shattering and new bones growing intertwined, like a magnificent song of the cycle of life.
Beneath its aged exterior, a new, supreme divine body is being born!
"What? The Lord of Chaos is going to live a second life?"
"How could he do that? Has he never taken an elixir of immortality before?"
When the strange phenomenon appeared, the supreme beings of the forbidden zone were shocked!
Logically speaking, an ancient person who has lived from the chaotic past to the present would be shrouded in an aura of desolation and death, resembling an old corpse crawling out of an ancient burial pit in the underworld. Even their very essence would be nearly depleted. No matter how much immortal matter or how precious the essence of longevity, it should be exhausted at this point. How could they possibly live a second life?
Especially those supreme beings who commit suicide, there has never been any possibility of them being reborn.
Even the Emperor's Nine-Turn Immortal Pill can only prolong the life of a peak emperor for two thousand years. That is already the most precious life-extending medicine since the mythical era.
When the Lord of Chaos broke through the Divine Ruins to seize the Peaches of Immortality, they heard the phrase "desiring to live another life," but they all took it as self-aggrandizement. Even if he possessed some ancient secret technique, it would only consume a few more fruits of the Immortal Elixir to prolong his life in a slightly better state.
But what they were seeing before them was completely beyond their existing knowledge of hundreds of thousands or even millions of years!
"The chaotic ancient era is too distant. The people and events of that time are beyond our comprehension." Deep within the Immortal Tomb, even the aged voice of the Celestial Venerable of Immortality became solemn.
"Perhaps this Lord of Chaos never committed suicide or took the elixir of immortality. He fell into a deep sleep because of the accident that turned Chaos Ridge into ruins, and only awoke in this world."
These words, falling upon the ears of the other Supreme Beings, silenced all their wills for a moment. The Azure Emperor vanished; the mountain that had weighed heavily on everyone's heads had finally been removed. But if an ancient being who hadn't severed himself were to be reborn, wouldn't everything have returned to square one?
A fully-fledged, flawless emperor is enough to suppress the entire starry sky, preventing any dormant supreme beings from daring to cross the line. The era of the Azure Emperor has just passed; is another Lord of Chaos about to emerge?
"Great Emperor of Shenzhou, is this the ancient venerable one you spoke of, old and decrepit?" In the Undying Mountain, the Stone Emperor's voice was icy cold.
"Alas, who could have imagined that an ancient person from a chaotic past, so old and nearly dead, could actually live a second life?"
"Stone Emperor, did you really expect this?"
The sigh of the Great Emperor of Shenzhou came from the Primordial Ancient Mine, his tone full of helplessness and innocence, as if he had just learned of the news.
The eyelids of the Qilin Ancient Emperor, who was also in the Primordial Ancient Mine, twitched slightly.
That innate spiritual sense of the Qilin clan stirred something within him again, and a faint, unsettling feeling resurfaced. The Great Emperor of Shenzhou's performance was flawless; his tone and wording were impeccable, yet he still felt something was amiss.
And in the Undying Mountain, on a pitch-black mountain.
The Stone Emperor, who had broken free from the seal of the Immortal Source, stood atop the Great Mountain, clad in jet-black armor and wielding the jet-black halberd that had once struck fear into the hearts of all ancient races.
Simply by standing there, the laws of the imperial way surged forth from his body like a tidal wave, seemingly shattering the heavens and earth. His eyes were icy cold, devoid of any warmth, like two crystals of ice dug from an ancient abyss, regarding all things in the world as mere straw dogs.
He swallowed a celestial fruit. It was a strange fruit from the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, which he had fused with several other rare treasures using a special method. It could adjust the state of a self-severing Supreme Emperor to an even better level in a short time.
The moment the fruit entered his stomach, his aura suddenly surged, and the imperial laws swept in all directions like a materialized black storm. The mere leakage of his aura caused the void surrounding the Undying Mountain to begin to collapse inch by inch.
Having elevated himself to this level, the greatest source of this dark turmoil is clearly about to emerge!
Beside him, an old emperor sighed.
Behind the old emperor, a faint phantom of Xuanwu appeared. That was the Xuanwu Ancient Emperor, one of the original founders of the Undying Mountain.
He has lived for far too long, from the very beginning of time until now, yet he has never instigated any dark upheavals, enduring the long years through his own accumulated strength. Time has worn down the sharp edge in the heart of this ancient emperor who once swept across the nine heavens and ten earths. To this day, he has even given up on the path to immortality, simply waiting quietly for the end of his life to come.
"Why do you do this? If you live for the path to immortality, why create unnecessary strife?" The ancient Xuanwu Emperor's voice was filled with deep helplessness.
"The path to immortality has always been a solitary journey!" The Stone Emperor, wielding a jet-black halberd, spoke with a voice like the clash of cold metal. "A supreme being from the chaotic ancient era who has lived a second life is the greatest variable on the path to immortality. If we don't eliminate him during his transformation, endless troubles will follow!"
As a Holy Spirit born of heaven and earth, His birth was a journey of unbridled proof, and indifference and egocentrism were in His nature. He had no relatives or friends, no acquaintances, and nothing worth a second glance.
However, his birth and gestation were connected to the Immortal Mountain, the primordial sacred mountain of the universe, in some unknown way. Therefore, the several supreme beings who once lived in the forbidden zone of the Immortal Mountain still had some affection for him. Over the long years, some of those supreme beings passed away, and some perished. Now, only this Old Emperor Xuanwu remains.
The current master of the Undying Mountain is extremely hostile to the variable that comes from the Chaotic Ancient Huntian Ridge.
He had previously intended to emerge into the world to wage war, aiming to kill the Lord of Chaos and seize the profound secrets from the Chaotic Ancient Era. At that time, the Old Emperor Xuanwu dissuaded him, saying that it was not worth sacrificing himself for an opponent whose strength was not yet fully understood.
Now, even the old Emperor Xuanwu can no longer persuade him.
"A supreme being from the Chaotic Ancient Era, his methods are definitely not simple..." Xuanwu Ancient Emperor looked at the Stone Emperor's cold eyes and knew that it was useless to say anything more, so he just sighed deeply.
The Stone Emperor declared arrogantly, "Even if a true immortal were to descend upon the world, I would have no fear. Let alone a mere skeleton from an ancient, chaotic tomb!"
He raised his head, looking towards the direction of Burial Sky Island above the Big Dipper, a cold smile curving his lips: "Moreover, I am not the only one preparing to make a move this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the boundless power of the Supreme One erupted on Burial Sky Island above the Big Dipper!
Thunderclouds and golden light rolled and surged above Burial Sky Island, and the roars of ancient beasts could be faintly heard.
The roar contained endless violence and killing intent. In the dim thunderclouds, an ancient chariot made entirely of gold slowly drove out of Burial Sky Island. The chariot's wheels rolled through the void, leaving two tracks burning with golden flames.
On the chariot stood a supreme being clad in golden armor and wielding a thunderous halberd.
Golden Lion Ancient Emperor!
His eyes burned with golden flames, the innate divine power of the ancient ferocious beast Suanni, which throbbed violently with the raging anger surging in his chest.
The Lord of Chaos dispelled his killing intent with a single talisman, a junior who had achieved enlightenment in an unconventional way came to his door to demand the gold, and the other supreme beings of Burial Sky Island joined forces to suppress him for the sake of the so-called greater good.
These events, one by one, had already piled up in the heart of this fierce ancient emperor, forming a volcano about to erupt.
He could have comforted himself by saying it was for the greater good of his path to immortality ten thousand years from now.
But now, it is clear that the Lord of Chaos, who has old grudges, will live a second life. He will probably become a flawless supreme emperor. If the Lord of Chaos is allowed to successfully transform, won't he be targeted by a flawless emperor on his path to immortality?
The bigger picture? Right now, while the Lord of Chaos is still in the midst of his transformation and weapon forging, eliminating him to prevent future troubles is the most important thing!
"Lord of Chaos, prepare to die!"
The ancient golden lion roared, shaking the heavens!
