# Chapter 1571: Ancient Supremes Emerge

And almost at the same time, divine-like auras erupted from every forbidden zone, shaking heaven and earth, stirring the cosmos, sweeping across billions of miles!

Every forbidden zone was making moves. The ancient supremes had stirred. Someone was about to emerge!

Immortal Mound, a mysterious ancient land. Legend held that immortals were buried here. Throughout the ages, countless heroes who ventured deep within vanished like clay oxen entering the sea—never to return.

This place had great mounds and stone tablets, all towering and massive, suspected to be ancient graves. It was one of the most dangerous deathlands in the Eastern Wasteland.

Ordinarily, this place was desolate, almost completely silent. The massive grave mounds lay dead, devoid of any living creature. But now, from the central region, sky-piercing radiance stirred the thirty-three layers of heaven!

A living being was about to emerge. The Immortal Path was about to appear. The ancient supremes could no longer sit still, one after another showing reactions.

A creature walked out from Immortal Mound, shrouded in pure radiance, its true form indiscernible. Its blood energy surpassed all of the present age. A single wisp leaking out shattered the nearby desolate wilderness!

This did not resemble an existence that had paid a tremendous price and was now nearly decayed. It remained overwhelmingly powerful, possessing an invincible momentum in this mortal world.

This was a violent storm. It was neither a path-clearing servant nor an imperial prince-level figure, but an ancient supreme. He had truly emerged.

In an instant, he restrained that wisp of leaked aura, but the light radiating from his skull still pierced the heavens, connecting to all realms!

This could not be concealed, seemingly related to their condition.

At that very moment, ghosts wailed and gods howled. Heaven and earth trembled. Even the gods seemed terrified. In this mortal world, blood rain poured down one moment, divine flowers bloomed the next. Amidst the bloody light, crystalline petals danced. It was eerie to the extreme.

For millions of miles around, all living beings and countless cultivators trembled without exception!

When a supreme emerged, even if they concealed their aura and restrained everything, people still felt as if a supreme deity had returned, an instinctive fear.

The existence from Immortal Mound clasped his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, as if recalling a glorious past. Seeing the light of day again felt like a lifetime away.

In truth, it truly had been a thousand lifetimes!

Every move he made caused the nine heavens and ten lands to tremble. With one step, an immortal light path appeared beneath his feet, connecting to the south. In the blink of an eye, he arrived outside the Ancient Forbidden Land!

Just one step, and he was here. It was no different from an ancient great emperor resurrecting. Although his imperial aura was restrained and not released, it still caused all living beings in the entire Southern Domain to panic. People in the nearby areas involuntarily kowtowed.

When an ancient supreme emerged, the great Dao of heaven and earth wailed. All beings paid homage. All races across the heavens had to submit!

The supreme from Immortal Mound arrived outside the Ancient Forbidden Land, gazing into its depths. His eyes were deep, like condensed oceans, unfathomable. Looking closer, within them, cosmic stars were born and extinguished, heavens collapsed, worlds were created, and all life was born anew!

That gaze made people tremble, as if facing the creator of an epoch. Their very souls quaked.

The supreme from Immortal Mound stared at the ruins beneath the abyss of the Ancient Forbidden Land and the pair of enormous stone doors. He took a step forward, seemingly tempted to enter.

"A pity. An old acquaintance was suppressed here. This place has changed hands. I wonder if he still exists." The supreme from Immortal Mound muttered to himself. Upon hearing these words, the sages kneeling in the distance all had their hairs stand on end.

According to legend, the original master of the Ancient Forbidden Land was not a woman. It had changed hands later. This was actually true, confirmed by the words of an ancient supreme!

He continued walking, about to enter the Ancient Forbidden Land. Was he seeking justice for an old acquaintance, or heading for the Immortal Path?

"Roar..."

At that moment, before the pair of enormous stone doors, a majestic figure appeared. His entire body was covered in golden fur, looking extremely terrifying, wrapped in thick mist, shaking people's hearts.

Everyone was chilled. This roar was too terrifying. Moreover, cultivators in the Southern Domain all felt somewhat familiar, all shocked.

"This is..."

People were stunned, suddenly recalling that occasionally there would be riots within the forbidden zone, demonic roars would ring out—this was that very sound.

There was another supreme existence within the forbidden zone? Besides that woman, there was another giant like a world-dominating demon lord!

"You... are still here, but no longer in your prime. You're finished!" The supreme from Immortal Mound sighed softly, seeming somewhat surprised.

This was a tall creature, about ten zhang tall, appearing out of thin air. Its golden fur was intimidating, its blood energy surging to the heavens, seemingly completely at odds with the ancient supreme's claim that it was finished.

He wore shackles that clanked heavily, forged from divine gold.

The sages' scalps went numb. If there was no mistake, this should be the original master of the Ancient Forbidden Land. This was the true "Ancient One"!

Who was that woman? Everyone's hairs fell off, shaved away by a chill. Their hearts trembled. It was too shocking.

"If she hadn't come, I would have sat here and decayed, unable to hold on any longer. It was she who allowed me to survive." The true Ancient One spoke in a deep, low voice. Amidst the golden fur and chaotic mist, a pair of blood-red eyes shone through, sending chills down spines.

The supreme from Immortal Mound stopped, not entering. Because faintly, that majestic figure covered in golden fur emitted a wisp of pressure, confronting him head-on.

"Back then, you refused to leave with me, establishing yourself here. It was a wrong decision." The supreme from Immortal Mound said coldly.

"I will have a battle with you, but not today!" The man covered in golden fur had eyes even more bloodshot, revealing an overwhelming domineering aura that instantly swept across the entire Eastern Wasteland.

Then, with a flash of light, he vanished.

"I await you. I look forward to a battle with you, the only one who survived!" The supreme from Immortal Mound said indifferently, showing no concern or worry, his unique and unrivaled aura fully displayed.

Everyone was startled. Who was that man covered in golden fur with surging blood energy? He seemed to have an immense background, likely a world-dominating figure from ancient history, whose origins could be traced.

Swish!

The supreme from Immortal Mound turned around, directly walking toward the great Immortal Path fissure, leaving the Ancient Forbidden Land. With hands clasped behind his back, he stood alone, observing the several-thousand-zhang-long enormous fissure.

After a long time, light exploded in the void where he stood, and he vanished in an instant!

From this day onward, the Big Dipper Star Domain was in turmoil. Several major forbidden zones of life all emitted even more terrifying fluctuations. Beams of light shot up to the heavens.

According to legend, these represented the number of ancient supremes. One beam for one person, representing the glorious fruition of an era—their Dao, never withering!

Each forbidden zone of life had at least one beam shooting up to the heavens. The Primordial Ancient Mine might have three, or even four—perhaps the most!

However, beams of light rose together. The sages could not distinguish them, unable to see clearly. People sensed the Dao of many great emperors, approaching the true bodies of several ancient emperors, becoming reality in this era.

Never had there been an era like today. Not just one supreme emerged, but all moved together!

From this day onward, all the powerful beings in the universe rushed here like moths to a flame. More and more people arrived, boundless and countless, stars shining brightly!

This was a great era. So many powerful beings appearing together was evident. Quasi-emperors were not limited to the two who first appeared. There were more!

Heaven and earth roared. Star domains trembled. The Big Dipper Star Domain underwent extremely terrifying changes. The five continents—Eastern Wasteland, Northern Plains, Central Province, Southern Ridge, and Western Desert—all began to glow.

"What... is that?"

Everyone was shocked to the point where their souls nearly flew out. The five continents were like five-colored altars, emitting different lights, as if about to revive. Such a massive formation was unprecedented, shocking the world. Where was it crossing to? Could this be the Immortal Path?

Boom!

People were astonished to discover that when the five continents rose with hazy radiance, the void fissure outside the Ancient Forbidden Land grew even larger, continuously exploding.

Faintly, the roar of true dragons and the cry of immortal phoenixes rang out, echoing across the Big Dipper.

The Immortal Path was truly about to open, drawing closer and closer. People seemed to feel the aura of the Immortal Domain. It was the immortal spirits of that realm roaring, descending various auras and majestic momentum.

"Hum!"

A divine spear crossed the sky, radiating billions of auspicious lights. Flying from the depths of the universe, it tore through the void and landed directly on the Big Dipper.

A quasi-emperor, absolutely a supreme quasi-emperor had arrived. In this era, aside from Gai Jiuyou on the Big Dipper, no quasi-emperor was visible. Yet someone from outside the domain had achieved this.

"Clang!"

At the same time, in the outer space of the Big Dipper, a small metal boat only one or two zhang long suddenly had its aura surge. The person inside directly advanced from the Great Sage realm to the quasi-emperor realm!

"Suppressed for so many years, it's time to return my Dao fruit. I look forward to the opening of the Immortal Path!" A voice came from within the golden boat.

If Ye Fan were here, he would surely be shocked. This was the person who had tampered with him back then, discovered by the old monk of the Western Desert before his passing, who used the power of Dao dissolution to remove it for him.

After these two quasi-emperors appeared, they kept a low profile, quickly concealing their auras. Because they sensed the immortal light within the forbidden zones of life and wanted to avoid their sharp edge.

Hum!

Another enormous sound. A blue-gold imperial tower appeared, thirty-three stories high, representing the supreme thirty-three layers of heaven. Moreover, each layer had mother qi cascading down like heavenly rivers. It flew directly into this great star.

Moreover, it did not stop, nor did it conceal its light. From the Western Desert to the Northern Plains, to Central Province, then to the Southern Ridge, and finally flying into the Eastern Wasteland, it circled over many magnificent landscapes, as if surveying.

"What a great star! It has left behind the footprints of so many great emperors!" A voice came from within this imperial tower, seemingly filled with endless emotion.

Boom! When it passed by Immortal Mountain, it paused briefly, gazing inward. The ancient supreme within the mountain remained majestic, showing no response.

But when it extended a wisp of divine thought toward the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree and also aimed at the Black Tortoise Divine Medicine, a cold snort suddenly rang out, causing the entire imperial tower to tremble.

"Boom!"

At the same time, a terrifying aura erupted. A headless knight soared into the sky, riding a stone beast. Its bowl-sized hooves shattered the void.

Boundless imperial aura erupted, sweeping through heaven and earth, charging forward madly.

"Scram!"

Although headless, his voice was like a thunderbolt, shaking the vast heavens until they trembled!
