# Chapter 1564 - The Bleeding Immortal Path

The seven Forbidden Zones of Life shot beams of light into the sky, the aura of Supreme Beings permeating the air, faintly penetrating through—just a wisp, a strand—causing all the heroes in the world to tremble with fear, their hearts filled with great terror, nearly collapsing to the ground.

Was the ancient transformation about to begin from this moment? All cultivators were shocked, none not trembling. This day had finally arrived!

No one dared to act rashly. All were watching the seven Forbidden Zones of Life. If they made any move, it would undoubtedly prove the matter.

In fact, roars came from the Forbidden Zones. Ancient beasts that had been sleeping awakened, seemingly about to carry Supreme Beings forth. Creatures truly emerged, dominating the lands of the Southern Domain.

"They're here, truly manifesting in the world. Heavens, the Immortal Path has opened. Another rare golden age since the creation of heaven and earth has arrived. We might be able to see Great Emperor-level figures, and not just one!"

"What golden age? A catastrophe is about to appear. This is clearly a chaotic era where blood will flow and corpses will float!"

From the snowy mountain peaks to the great abysses underground, through countless wildernesses and endless deserts, wherever people gathered, hearts surged with excitement. The curtain was about to rise. In this generation, the mortal world would witness the beginning of the immortal transformation.

This day felt like the end of the world. Everyone under heaven was extremely tense and uneasy. The atmosphere was too oppressive, almost suffocating.

A creature emerged from the Divine Ruins. It was a great qilin with a silver back and red horns, its majesty spreading across a hundred thousand li. It had already restrained part of its aura, yet it was still this intimidating!

The entire world shook. This aura spread, diffusing along the path, causing heaven and earth to tremble and roar in response. The terror was overwhelming, startling all living beings into trembling.

"This... is an ancient Supreme Being from the Divine Ruins? Has it truly appeared?"

"No. This should only be its mount. Not the master!"

Long after the awe-inspiring qilin had passed did the saints begin to discuss, their blood boiling, their hearts shaken and excited to the extreme. It was too astonishing.

Barring accidents, this seemed to be an ancient mount that surpassed a Great Sage. A terrifying creature had emerged from the Forbidden Zone, even if it was only a mount.

This ancient beast appeared somewhat hazy, its entire body shrouded in immortal light. All heavenly eyes were ineffective, unable to see through it. In fact, no one had the courage to offend it.

Only when the chaotic qi was blown away could one see, upon close inspection, that some of the scales of this silver-backed, red-horned great qilin were actually stone-like—extremely astonishing.

However, the people of this world only saw a back view. It flashed and disappeared, arriving in an instant before the great crack in the immortal path outside the Ancient Forbidden Land.

People had already gathered here, and in great numbers. Thousands were prostrate on the ground. Only two people stood in front, gazing into the distance at the "Immortal Gate."

They were true Quasi-Emperors, truly surpassing Great Sages!

After so many years, those who bore the character "Emperor" had finally appeared alive, standing right there. No one could approach, and no one dared to offend!

After the silver-backed, red-horned great qilin from the Divine Ruins arrived, the eyes of those two figures grew even deeper. Their entire bodies emitted light, keeping themselves in a state of nothingness, unseeable.

"Something really did fall out..."

The silver-backed, red-horned great qilin muttered to itself, speaking divine words, very ancient, almost no one could understand them. But the fluctuation of divine thought was universal.

At this place now, even Great Sages kept their distance. As for the other saints who hadn't left in time, they all submitted from the depths of their souls. Many couldn't bear the pressure and lay prostrate on the ground.

The two Quasi-Emperors had deep, profound eyes, their auras steaming with light and mist, unreadable. They did not speak. And this great qilin with some stone scales also began to watch in silence. It was the envoy from the Divine Ruins, representing the attitude of a Forbidden Zone. No one dared to move a hair!

On the towering mountain peak, the great crack had expanded to two thousand zhang in length. It had increased explosively overnight, nearly bursting open—extremely astonishing.

From time to time, a strand of material similar to Arctic Immortal Light flew out, making all the saints' eyes burn with desire. Unfortunately, two Quasi-Emperors and an ancient beast stood here, preventing anyone from moving.

Chaotic qi surged, auspicious clouds bloomed. Earlier, an object had fallen out, but no one dared to pick it up. It was wrapped in immortal fire, burning fiercely on the ground.

Additionally, residual power from a terrifying tribulation lightning spread, shaking people's hearts.

"What happened?" one Quasi-Emperor asked, finally speaking.

Clearly, the two Quasi-Emperors hadn't arrived much earlier than the great qilin. They hadn't yet understood the situation and were also observing. He detained a Saint King over, calmly asking him to explain.

"Just now... the Immortal Path... collapsed, and this thing fell out. It seemed like tribulation lightning had split this place..." He spoke haltingly, his voice trembling. Because before a Quasi-Emperor, he truly couldn't bear it. Even though the other party had restrained part of his pressure, he still felt like an ant facing the heavens.

The Immortal Path had collapsed. Thunderous explosions had sounded, erupting from within. The tremendous noise was one of the fundamental reasons that had alarmed the Eastern Wasteland.

"A heavenly tribulation from the Immortal Domain side? How is that possible!" the hazy, god-like Quasi-Emperor muttered to himself.

And at this moment, his heart trembled even more. He looked toward the Ancient Forbidden Land, vaguely seeing a figure. He quickly turned his head away, not daring to look.

"Yes, it truly... exploded from within. It might be an immortal tribulation, or... someone might have entered first... who knows!" This pitiful Saint King, being detained like this, couldn't help but tremble as he spoke. Under the imperial might, he was severely suppressed, his body's instincts betraying his will.

Someone had breached the Immortal Path and entered ahead of time? That wasn't impossible!

At this moment, the two Quasi-Emperors and the qilin from the Divine Ruins all opened their heavenly eyes, carefully observing the object wrapped in chaos and immortal light.

At first, people thought an immortal spirit had fallen out.

"An immortal spirit? No, it seems to be a mutilated body, missing a section of its torso."

The two Quasi-Emperors' expressions changed drastically. The qilin was also startled. It was either an immortal or a Great Emperor—absolutely certain, because of the supreme, unparalleled terrifying aura.

"Its body was destroyed, died inside. Truly shocking!"

Pop!

With a soft sound, the chaos broke apart, and the immortal light steamed up, revealing the mutilated corpse inside. The flesh and blood were mangled, but it suppressed all living beings, making them want to prostrate themselves.

Countless powerful beings on the ground kowtowed. Even saints did the same, and their perception was even deeper. They all felt as if the end of the world had come.

Was this corpse an immortal's?

This was everyone's doubt. It was too powerful, terrifying beyond compare. The blood was bright red, absolutely astonishing. Any single drop of blood emitted an aura that could shake the ages.

Moreover, the longer one looked, the more one could feel an ancient, vicissitudinous aura, as if it spanned countless epochs, crossing through the ages.

What kind of person was this? Was it truly an immortal, having fallen out from the Immortal Domain?

"No, he is an Ancient Emperor!" the silver-backed, red-horned great qilin spoke, uttering such words, making people even more unsettled. How could this be?

An Ancient Emperor had fallen out from the Immortal Domain. What had happened? Had he been expelled by immortals? Had someone once become an immortal and entered the Immortal Domain?

Everyone looked toward the deep, great crack, finding it increasingly unfathomable. They felt that behind it lay a world too mysterious and unknown, robbing them of even the courage to explore.

"It's not a current Supreme Being who fought their way in, nor an immortal. It's an emperor of the past, fallen at the end of the Immortal Path, lying in a pool of blood, stopped at the threshold." A Quasi-Emperor sighed, revealing this truth, making people even more unsettled. So cruel.

This was an ancient Great Emperor-level figure. To break through and seek immortality, he had forcefully charged in, breached the barrier, and set foot on the Immortal Path, only to fall in the end.

Now, the Immortal Path had ruptured, and he had fallen out from this barrier, manifesting in this generation.

"Is it the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing?" Over the years, as saints from beyond the domain continuously descended, matters of the Ancient Human Path had finally spread.

By now, everyone knew that the peerless Xue Yueqing had walked very far on the Immortal Path. If not for his old age and declining body, he might have broken through.

"No, it seems very ancient. Perhaps it's a Heavenly Venerable from the Mythical Era!"

This was a shocking speculation. How many hopes were buried on this path? Even more than one or two Supreme Beings and heavenly prodigies had fallen, buried in pools of blood. Too cruel.

Buried inside for too long, only now falling out—this was truly a tragedy. Dying in battle on this path was one thing, but only seeing the light of day now, sealed for ages.

"Why did tribulation lightning sound not long ago, and with such immense power, splitting this path?" The second Quasi-Emperor frowned. The ancient Supreme Being was already dead. Why could he still undergo tribulation, triggering such an unforeseen event? Was it to help the world open the Immortal Path?

At the same time, people were hopeful, wishing to find an Imperial Artifact. Even fragments of a Heavenly Venerable's weapon would suffice, certainly counting as an immortal burial.

Soon, everything had an answer. At this place, laws interwove, heaven and earth split apart, almost expanding to cover the entire ancient star, also about to rush into the vast universe.

This power was too immense. It was a Great Emperor-level figure undergoing Dao Dissolution!

Every drop of blood from the fallen mutilated corpse glowed. Even the bones burned, let alone the flesh and blood. All returned to the cosmic Dao principles.

The mutilated body underwent Dao Dissolution, thus triggering tribulation lightning. It wasn't any heavenly punishment. It was the natural reaction of a corpse of this level, upon exposure, merging with the laws of this world.

Perhaps this was the dying wish of the ancient Supreme Being—to return to dust in the world that gave birth to and nurtured him. Thus, upon returning, he underwent Dao Dissolution here.

"Boom!" The power of Dao Dissolution inexplicably converged entirely, not destroying the wilderness, not rushing toward the already pale-faced saints, nor toward the stellar rivers beyond the domain. Instead, it directly retracted into the mutilated corpse.

Finally, a blazing immortal fire erupted. The mutilated corpse became ashes. Light rain danced, as if ascending to immortality. Only tribulation ashes remained here. No blood, no corpse. It had vanished like that.

"How lamentable. A Great Emperor, undefeated in life, unmatched under heaven and earth, invincible for an era, yet in the end, such a result. The Immortal Path leaves even Supreme Beings with only sorrow!"

The two Quasi-Emperors left one after another. The great qilin also returned to report. Only then did the saints breathe a long sigh of relief.

However, within the several great Forbidden Zones of Life, beams of light shot into the sky, not fading away. Only, there was no longer any pressure sweeping the world. They had indeed all revived!

Perhaps in the coming days, perhaps in the coming months... the Immortal Path was destined to open. Otherwise, the Forbidden Zones would not have such terrifying phenomena of light beams piercing the heavens. The ancient supreme beings preserved from antiquity had already prepared for the ultimate immortal war!

Regarding Quasi-Emperors, those about to attain the Dao, and the Supreme Beings in the Forbidden Zones of Life, I have written some things. Because I've been busy these past few days, I only saw some book friends' questions in the review section today. I'll clarify here. If I put it in the book, it would be too long, so I've placed it in Chen Dong's "Teng" - "Xun" Weibo. Everyone can go take a look. At the same time, I'm asking for monthly votes! The double period is crazy. I ask all Great Emperors for support.
