Chapter 1760: The Emperor Venerable’s Methods
A vast aura was spreading, a phantom taking form, majestic beyond compare, overlooking all living beings. It stood before the path to immortality, at the center of the ancient land, as if awaiting the kowtows of all living beings and the worship of all emperors.
What kind of person was this? Appearing just now, already so overwhelmingly powerful—a mere phantom, yet it nearly drained half the essence of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
In that moment, all things in the universe withered. Everyone felt it: the Great Dao grew distant and lofty, essence dried up, and all divine marks, laws, and primordial energies crazily surged toward Flying Immortal Star, there to forge a golden body.
“How is this possible? Wasn’t the Emperor Venerable dead? Why is this happening!” Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor was shocked, but he had no choice but to believe what he saw.
The most terrifying person in the world, the last Heavenly Venerable of the Mythical Era, who later reportedly abandoned all divine techniques, laws, and even cultivation, vanishing without a trace.
When he reappeared in the world, he was an infant, born of heaven and earth. The moment he arrived, he devoured the essence of all things in the universe, reaching the pinnacle of honor, unparalleled, unprecedented in all eternity.
What followed was known to all: he was invincible in heaven and on earth, walking the most glorious path. No one could halt him even half a step. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths all submitted.
From then on, he called himself the Emperor Venerable, ending the rule of the Mythical Era dominated by Heavenly Venerables, becoming the most honored being in all eternity!
“A dead man trying to rise and cause chaos? There is no true reincarnation in this world. Since you’ve perished, don’t come back to stir trouble—kill!” roared a Supreme Being from Immortal Mound, charging forward to attack.
“Indeed, since you’ve decayed and passed away, never appear again!” shouted the Beast God, also striking out madly.
Those present were all ancient emperors, the strongest of their eras. They never revered heaven or earth, only themselves. Even with the Emperor Venerable’s ancient and thundering reputation, they could not truly be intimidated. They chose to attack mercilessly.
As for Annihilation Heavenly Venerable, he was even more insane. His gray hair flew wildly as he roared, unleashing all kinds of forbidden techniques, charging forward to kill.
“This is the supreme pure land sealed away in the Chaotic Ancient Era, and indeed a place to attain immortality. When the Emperor Venerable breached Kunlun, he did not kill me but sealed me here, reserving me for his own resurrection,” muttered the Hua Snake, no longer confused, recalling the past.
“Everyone from my era is dead. The master of the Desolate Tower suppressed me to guard the immortal path… Then, that person no weaker than the Desolate Heavenly Emperor came and rearranged the situation,” the prehistoric creature also muttered, his mind unstable and shaken.
Hearing these words, everyone was stunned. Just how ancient was that era? And there was someone as strong as the Emperor Venerable?
Indeed, the master of the Desolate Tower could not be weak!
These revelations were too shocking. The Desolate Tower was an immortal artifact, and the prehistoric creature was sealed by its master. These things revealed too many secrets. No one thought they would witness such miracles.
The events of today were too bizarre, too stunning.
The Emperor Venerable had died, perishing at the end of the Mythical Era. How could he reappear after such endless ages spanning the Primeval and Desolate Eras? It defied reason.
But that blurry phantom could not be fake. Who else could be so majestic, daring to overlook all emperors and await their submission?
“Boom!”
The Ten Thousand Dragon Bell flew, sweeping across, its purple-gold light dazzling and fierce, boiling the area.
The White Tiger roared at the sky. That white-haired Daoist also had cold lightning flashing in his eyes. Everyone began a slaughter, attacking together.
In the past, the Emperor Venerable’s achievements were no lie. Later generations of imperial-level experts had all heard of them and dared not be careless. If his resurrection were to snatch away the path to immortality, it would be infuriating.
Heaven and earth shattered, the starry sea broke apart. Annihilation Heavenly Venerable was the angriest, his divine consciousness revived, driving him into a berserk slaughter.
However, an inexplicable immense force arose ahead. Rows of terrifying array platforms decomposed everyone’s attacks, transforming them into divine power that merged into that phantom.
“Daring to seize our essence for resurrection?!”
“A dead ghost trying to borrow a corpse to return to life—stop dreaming!”
Boom!
An even more terrifying attack unfolded. The array platforms ahead finally shattered into dust, and the phantom also faded considerably, though the gathered essence here did not diminish.
“Ah…”
Suddenly, the Hua Snake screamed, blood streaming from his brow, his primordial spirit burning. Large swaths of light rain flew from his body, sinking into the ruins.
“No!” the prehistoric creature cried out in terror, his face frozen, his body cracking and bleeding profusely, essence leaking out, his primordial spirit rapidly splitting apart.
“Emperor Venerable, how ruthless your heart is!” Annihilation Heavenly Venerable sat cross-legged, his body blooming with blood blossoms. A terrifying bloody hole appeared on his brow, his primordial spirit exploding, his life’s imperial essence flowing into the chaotic land.
They shared a common trait: the immortal iron chains on their bodies burned and melted, becoming an unknown forbidden law, disintegrating them, sending them to the end of their lives.
Everyone’s hair stood on end. Even the ancient Supremes were dismayed. The Emperor Venerable was too powerful. He had sealed these three, and even after countless ages, they still could not escape death.
When the Emperor Venerable was at his peak, he had set up this contingency. If he ever met with misfortune, he intended to use this place for resurrection!
“Kill!”
Everyone shouted. They had to stop this from continuing. They could not allow the bizarre Emperor Venerable to borrow a corpse to return to life. The terror he displayed was unsettling.
“Kill!”
The six Supremes mobilized imperial laws, wielding weapons to suppress and kill. Naturally, nothing in this world could withstand them. Everything was destroyed.
The chaotic land turned to ruins. Runes were ground away, dissipating into nothing. But an indelible imprint remained, still lingering.
At the same time, the Hua Snake, Annihilation Heavenly Venerable, and the prehistoric creature all exploded. They had prohibitions within their bodies. This fate was already sealed, not surprising.
With a rumble, three torrents of vast essence merged, rushing toward an immortal well in the chaotic land, fusing into a storm, reforming the phantom.
“Indestructible Immortal Formation!”
“This place is inscribed with terrifying array patterns that never fade. Does he truly want to revive?”
“Kill!”
The six Supremes moved together, reducing this star system to ashes. Flying Immortal Star also shattered, leaving only this sealed land, which remained indestructible.
“There are traces of the Dao from that Heavenly Emperor of the Chaotic Ancient Era, as well as divine rules set by the Emperor Venerable. The two strengths combine to form an immortal script—truly astonishing.”
They struck with all their might, unwilling to believe that six Supremes could not destroy everything here.
“Boom!”
That phantom shattered again, but moments later reappeared, reforming once more, undying and indestructible.
“Refine him!” someone suggested.
Thinking of refining the Emperor Venerable stirred a strange emotion in their hearts. The most terrifying person would be trampled by them like this.
Six streams of immortal fire converged, forming a most fearsome furnace, enveloping the phantom. It blazed fiercely, supreme laws crisscrossing, one after another.
“No, he needs our Dao fire. Withdraw quickly!”
“What a clever Emperor Venerable. He needs five or more imperial-level experts to ignite his divine fire, creating hope for resurrection!”
They were all extraordinary beings, knowing heaven and earth. As soon as they entered the situation, they quickly awakened and retreated.
But that fire could not be extinguished, because the Hua Snake, Annihilation Heavenly Venerable, and the prehistoric creature had all exploded. Their flesh and essence had filled that place, now ignited to supplement what the Emperor Venerable needed.
“He… achieved his goal!”
“Impossible! With us here, he won’t revive!”
The six struck again, suppressing and killing the phantom ahead.
With a rumble, the chaotic land erupted with beams of light—countless immortal order chains intertwining into a great net, outlining supreme rules, covering that divine fire.
“Such powerful rules. Are they the fusion of the Chaotic Ancient Era’s Heavenly Emperor’s formation and the later Emperor Venerable’s imprint?”
Everyone attacked wildly, but the phantom could not solidify within the net. However, at this moment, the universe changed. Mysterious energies flowed from all directions.
“What is that?” In various parts of the universe, powerful races trembled. They saw streaks of green light cutting through the starry river, flying into the distance.
“Heavens, those are weapon fragments! How can they have such powerful fluctuations? So terrifying—these are immortal artifacts!”
Radiant light pierced the heavens. The universe shook violently. Green light crossed the void in many places, illuminating eternity. The aura made people shiver and tremble, too powerful.
“It’s the fragments of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron!”
“Truly it! All the fragments are gathering toward Flying Immortal Star!”
Finally, someone recognized what the green glow was—the former Green Cauldron. This time, it was about to be reassembled, to become whole again.
On Flying Immortal Star, the six Supremes naturally sensed it too and were shocked. One after another, ancient fragments flew in, now burning with immortal light, dazzling and making their hearts race.
“Clang,” “Clang”…
The green fragments fused, reforming a cauldron there—ancient and mysterious, three-legged and two-eared, verdant green as if rusted, gradually taking shape.
Outside the domain, Ye Fan was shocked. He could sense that the part of the cauldron he had once controlled was also among them, now truly merging into one!
Within the chaotic land, the Emperor Venerable’s divine fire was indestructible, fusing with the net of laws, then sinking into the cauldron for forging and tempering, recreating the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
The Emperor Venerable had not revived, but his cauldron had reappeared, reborn!
“Woo…”
In the universe, mysterious laws also flew in, like deities, merging into the cauldron—the laws and deities within the cauldron reappearing!
“Excellent! It’s best that this cauldron reappears now. Use it to break through the barrier of the immortal path, help us attain immortality. Emperor Venerable, rest in peace. We will step into the Immortal Realm in your stead!” the Beast God said coldly.
With a clang, the Immortal Ascension Cauldron reappeared, truly unified. All cracks healed, recast by the divine fire.
Suddenly, the green cauldron trembled. Its mouth aimed at a certain direction in the universe, crazily devouring. Not only did cosmic essence surge in, but a mysterious resonance was also born.
Within a chaotic immortal land opened by Ye Fan, the Divine Child suddenly screamed in agony. The immortal source sealing him exploded.
Everyone was startled, then stared at him in shock.
“Little brat, what’s wrong with you?” Li Tian shouted. Though they often teased him, everyone truly cared for the little fatty, having developed deep feelings.
“It hurts! I can’t help but want to fly away, to leave this place!” the Divine Child cried out in terror.
“Hold him down!” Everyone rushed forward to restrain him, but an inexplicable immense force appeared, knocking them away, pulling him, trying to drag him away.
Everyone was anxious—whether Black Emperor or Huahua—though they often mocked the little fatty, they had long regarded him as family. They could not let anything happen to him.
“Sister Nan, save me!” At the critical moment, the Divine Child called out to Little Nannan.
The little girl had already run forward, desperately trying to grab the Divine Child, but was too late, watching helplessly as he flew away.
“Waaah… I don’t want to die! Save me!” These were the little fatty’s last tearful cries.
“Divine Child, don’t despair. In the future, Big Brother and I will definitely rescue you!” Little Nannan shouted tearfully.
On the broken sealed land of Flying Immortal Star, a flash of light appeared, and the Divine Child emerged, falling into the mouth of the cauldron!
