Chapter 287

The Great Emperor of the Ye Clan was in a wretched state. His body was riddled with gaping wounds, each caused by Jiang Chen’s relentless fists. Blood and flesh were exposed, revealing pale bones beneath.

Golden blood, brimming with vitality and divine light, flowed freely, exuding an overwhelming life force capable of creating and sustaining worlds.

This was emperor’s blood, a substance imbued with immeasurable vitality. Even an ancient sovereign who severed themselves from life would find its energy and essence terrifying. It was like an immortal holy medicine, invigorating all living beings and igniting their spirits.

If a mortal could absorb this blood, they might ascend to unimaginable heights, becoming a supreme prodigy.

However, mortals were incapable of refining emperor’s blood. A single wisp of its energy could shatter an entire galaxy, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Even approaching it was beyond reach; even Saints would be forced to retreat in its presence. The energy was simply too fearsome. Yet, if one could collect and refine it, it would become a treasure comparable to the immortal holy medicines of legend.

The boundless vitality contained within could rejuvenate even those whose lifespans had nearly run out, returning them to their peak. For ancient monsters at the end of their lives, this was the ultimate elixir.

Across the ancient forces, ancient figures stirred from their slumber, their eyes brimming with greed as they gazed into the starry sky. They coveted the emperor’s blood, yearning to regain their youthful vigor, vitality, and long-lost years.

Despite the allure of the treasure before them, none dared to act. The presence of the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land suppressing the Great Emperor was a testament to the unfathomable power of ancient emperors. One thought from such a being could obliterate them all.

At this moment, the vitality of the Ye Clan’s Great Emperor began to surge, climbing rapidly like a rocket. His once-ruined energy seemed on the verge of recovering, returning him to his prime.

The aura of an ancient Great Emperor awakened, and boundless pressure descended upon the heavens, shaking the cosmos as if the Ye Clan’s Great Emperor had traversed the river of time to reclaim his peak.

“Is he going to undergo ultimate sublimation?” Jiang Chen’s sharp eyes sparkled with anticipation as he observed the scene. At the same time, he activated his connection with the Devouring Beast.

Though the beast had not fully refined the Devouring Dao Fruit and was yet to truly awaken, it was still capable of intervening. This was why Jiang Chen dared to engage the Ye Clan’s Great Emperor in a life-and-death battle.

With the Devouring Beast’s support, even the Great Emperor’s ultimate sublimation would not terrify him.

Even without the beast fully revived, its power rivaled that of a Great Emperor. Together with Jiang Chen’s strength, they could slay the Ye Clan’s Great Emperor even if he achieved ultimate sublimation.

“You know quite a lot,” sneered the Great Emperor of the Ye Clan. “To kill you, I don’t need to undergo ultimate sublimation!”

Knowledge about ancient emperors was scarce, even among the strong. Few knew their identities, and fewer still knew about their ability to undergo ultimate sublimation and reclaim their peak, albeit at the cost of their lives.

This ultimate act was only considered when they faced an absolute dead end, as it would lead to their complete demise.

With the imminent opening of the immortal road, the Ye Clan’s Great Emperor hesitated, unwilling to resort to such extremes. Even if he annihilated Jiang Chen through ultimate sublimation, it would be a loss for him. The exchange of an ancient emperor’s life for a Saint King was a poor trade.

More importantly, such an act would render countless years of his planning meaningless, turning it all into a laughable farce. He began to regret his decision. Perhaps refraining from making a move would have been the wiser choice.

“Empower me, all living beings!” The Ye Clan’s Great Emperor’s eyes gleamed fiercely as he extended a hand through the void, seeking to absorb the vitality of the living in the Nine Heavens Realm to replenish himself.

However, Jiang Chen was prepared. The radiance of the Mirror of All Heavens surged forth, cascading like a waterfall of silver and white light to block the Great Emperor’s actions.

“With me here, do you still think you can devour all beings? By yourself, you cannot unleash the Dark Chaos!” Jiang Chen’s towering figure stood in the starry sky, illuminating the heavens and shielding the living beings of the Nine Heavens Realm.

His stature was as awe-inspiring as that of ancient Great Emperors, exuding a protective aura.

Jiang Chen knew the Great Emperor’s intentions. He had two paths: ultimate sublimation to reclaim his peak and perish alongside Jiang Chen, or unleashing the Dark Chaos to devour all life and temporarily restore his vitality.

While Jiang Chen couldn’t stop the former, he would not allow the latter.

“The Dark Chaos approaches, people of the Nine Heavens Realm. What are you waiting for?”

“Will you watch as your kin’s are devoured by an ancient emperor, their vitality extinguished?” Jiang Chen’s cold voice reverberated throughout the Nine Heavens Realm, stirring the cosmos.

In an instant, supreme emperor weapons began to awaken.

“Do you dare attempt to devour us without our consent?” The Qin Emperor Sword soared into the heavens, its unparalleled sharpness shaking the heavens and the earth.

Its devastating power was enough to shatter a galaxy with a single strand of its brilliance. Even the Great Emperor of the Ye Clan turned pale at its overwhelming presence.

Soon after, supreme emperor weapons emerged from the Supreme Dao Sect, the Great Qian Dynasty, the Pure Yang Holy Land, and the Primordial Holy Land.

Their immense energies enveloped the cosmos, forming a suffocating killing intent that sent chills down every spine.

The supreme auras revived, as if ancient Great Emperors had returned. Even the Ye Clan’s Great Emperor’s expression shifted dramatically in the face of this power.

Seeing the human territories protected, the Great Emperor’s gaze shifted from the Eastern Wilderness to the Southern Region.

“Damn it,” cursed the ancient imperial clans, sensing his focus. “This is your battle with the Primordial Holy Land. Don’t involve us!”

The ancient imperial clans released their own supreme emperor weapons in response. The Immortal Phoenix roared, flames engulfing the heavens and burning all.

The Platinum White Tiger emerged, its metallic essence spreading, radiating a lethal intent that could annihilate everything. Stars quaked, and celestial bodies shattered, their divine light blossoming like fireworks across the endless sky.

Golden-winged rocs, qilins, and vermilion birds joined the fray, their dazzling radiance illuminating the heavens.

Several supreme emperor weapons from the ancient imperial clans transformed into their clan’s likeness, manifesting in the Southern Region, exuding an aura that intimidated the heavens and earth.

The presence of five emperor weapons made the face of the Ye Clan’s Great Emperor stiffen with unease. Even without Jiang Chen, facing the might of these five weapons head-on would be a daunting challenge, one he found difficult to confront.

“Amitabha! Benefactor, this is a place under the Buddha’s protection!”

Before the Great Emperor could shift his gaze, a serene voice echoed.Suddenly, a towering Buddha emerged from the ground, majestic and solemn, radiating boundless Buddhist light.

It was as though a Buddha from the past had been resurrected, his compassionate eyes sweeping across the heavens.

Seeing only a single emperor weapon present, the Great Emperor’s expression turned icy.

“One emperor weapon dares to block my path?” The Ye Clan’s Great Emperor sneered coldly. “This emperor despises bald donkeys the most!” His hand extended outward as if to seize the entire Western Desert.

“Courting death!” Jiang Chen chuckled softly, watching as if enjoying a spectacle.

“Benefactor Ye, please retreat!” A calm yet commanding voice rang out.

Amid the dazzling golden light, a figure bathed in radiance walked forward, exuding an overwhelming Buddhist aura. His presence was like that of a compassionate Buddha, pitying the world.

With a resounding boom, the Great Emperor’s indestructible arm fractured layer by layer before exploding entirely, spraying blood across the starry sky.

This scene left everyone in awe.

“Does the Ancient Buddha Sect still possess such hidden means capable of resisting an ancient emperor?” Someone exclaimed in shock, their voices trembling.
