Chapter 106: Mutual Calculations and the Disintegration of the Forbidden Zones

Chapter 106: Mutual Calculations and the Disintegration of the Forbidden Zones

"Let’s not talk about righteousness when dealing with a Supreme Sovereign who has committed heinous crimes. We need to work together and take him down first!" Lin Dong arrived at the scene.

The three of them stood together, their golden blood auras intertwining and merging, their combined might terrifying.

The statement that a Perfect Saint Body could rival an emperor might have been a bit exaggerated, but when three Perfect Saint Bodies stood together, it was a completely different story.

Even the Longevity Heavenly Sovereign, who had lived for ages and prided himself on his vast knowledge, was momentarily stunned.

He had sensed the abnormality with the Stone Sovereign and had planned to strike first, intending to eliminate the newly ascended emperor and allow the Heavenly Nether Treasure to transform.

But he hadn’t expected the Immortal Bell to suddenly appear, nor had he anticipated being surrounded by three Perfect Saint Bodies.

"I’ve endured the trials of countless ages, and I don’t want to die. How can I be content without seeing the Immortal Realm?!" The Longevity Heavenly Sovereign was decisive, immediately initiating his Ultimate Ascension.

His Dao rapidly ascended, reaching an unparalleled peak, radiating an eternal brilliance as he reclaimed his Heavenly Sovereign’s Dao Fruit, regaining his former invincibility.

The combined strength of the three Perfect Saint Bodies was indeed astonishing, but as a supreme Heavenly Sovereign from the Mythic Era, he had no reason to fear a few unenlightened beings.

For other Supreme Sovereigns, Ultimate Ascension might only be usable once or twice, but he was different. He had personally created the Zhe Character Secret and had already undergone it multiple times.

He was called the Longevity Heavenly Sovereign for a reason, and his greatest skill was survival.

As long as the cost wasn’t too great and he had sufficient life essence to replenish himself, even Ultimate Ascension wouldn’t kill him. He could still defy the heavens and live on!

"Your Saint Blood is a great tonic. If I kill you, I will prolong my life, consecrate my immortal artifacts, and build my path to immortality!" the Longevity Heavenly Sovereign said coldly.

In one hand, he held the Great Dao Sacred Wheel, emitting a mysterious yet holy nether glow. In the other, he wielded the Elixirlong Sword, its light so sharp it was blinding, terrifying in its intensity.

"Kill!!!"

The three Perfect Saint Bodies were in perfect sync, and in this cosmic wilderness, they could unleash their ultimate techniques without restraint. They began with the Six Realms Cycle Fist, a supreme divine art perfectly suited to Saint Bodies, their boundless blood auras and unparalleled physical prowess pushing them to their limits.

In the sky, star rivers shattered, and vast star regions went dark, disintegrating into ashes upon impact.

Undoubtedly, this was a true Emperor War, with the Ultimate Ascended Longevity Heavenly Sovereign facing off against the three Perfect Saint Bodies in a battle that had never been seen before.

"Boom!!!"

Deafening explosions echoed through the cosmic wilderness, blinding light sweeping across the heavens, powerful fluctuations shaking the entire universe. The great Dao that could suppress the entire universe was sensed by many cultivators of considerable strength.

Those of lower cultivation might not have noticed, but the higher one’s cultivation, the more fear and trembling they felt, both body and soul involuntarily shaking.

"This is a true Emperor War, too terrifying!"

"Throughout history, we’ve never seen three Perfect Saint Bodies, and they are facing off against a legendary Mythic Heavenly Sovereign!"

"Such a battle is incredibly powerful. If one could witness such supreme glory firsthand, it would be worth dying for!"

The world-shocking sword beams illuminated the universe, and the earth-shaking punches resonated through the Six Realms.

"I’ve seen even more dazzling sword beams. Your sword isn’t good enough!" Xiao Zicheng sneered, the terrifying wounds on his fists rapidly healing.

"If she could come out, why would you need to move? If I see the Eastern Sovereign, I would retreat without hesitation."

The Longevity Heavenly Sovereign also had blood at the corners of his mouth, but his injuries instantly healed in the next moment, and he held his own against the three of them.

"Young ones, you’re still lacking. At this level, you can’t kill me. Although you claim to rival emperors, you are still unenlightened!"

"Why must you be killed? You’re no longer a true Heavenly Sovereign, and how long can Ultimate Ascension last?" Xiao Yan countered.

Their three Saint Bodies were at the peak of their blood auras. Even with the Zhe Character Secret’s incredible recovery ability, how much essence did he have left to squander after self-inflicted injuries? They could drag him down just by waiting.

They held the initiative, surrounding him without killing, aiming to resolve the battle with minimal losses. Otherwise, all three of them might suffer injuries.

"You, a Heavenly Sovereign, are inhumane, harvesting the lives of countless beings to prolong your own. Your defeat is inevitable!" Lin Dong roared in anger.

The Saint Bodies were indomitable, their auras swallowing star rivers, radiating a supreme aura.

They clashed again, and Jiang Hengyu’s lips twitched. He had been the first to confront the enemy and the first to strike, yet suddenly he found himself an outsider.

He shook his head, no longer paying attention to the battle, and headed toward the Immortal Ascension Path.

On one hand, he had the pride of an emperor, preferring to face the Heavenly Sovereign alone rather than join a four-on-one fight, which would be too disgraceful.

Given the current situation, the three Saint Bodies had the upper hand, and it was only a matter of time before they prevailed.

Moreover, the situation on the Immortal Ascension Path seemed even more dire.

Let’s split the narrative and address each branch.

On one side, Lin Dong was undergoing the void tribulation, which attracted an attack from an Imperial Sovereign. The Longevity Heavenly Sovereign secretly intervened, intending to use the blood of a new emperor to consecrate an immortal artifact. However, the Immortal Bell forced him to reveal his true form, leading to an intense battle with the three Perfect Saint Bodies in their ultimate ascension states.

On the other side, the Immortal Ascension Path also encountered an unexpected turn. Someone else was also undergoing ultimate ascension, emerging from a crack in the Immortal Path.

The Stone Sovereign himself entered the fray, luring two Imperial Sovereigns from the Primordial Ancient Mine and Heavenshroud Isle into the Immortal Ascension Path. Subsequently, the five Imperial Sovereigns from the Deathless Mountains surrounded and ambushed the two.

Five against two, with the attackers fully prepared, the outcome was predictable. The two from the Primordial Ancient Mine and Heavenshroud Isle were quickly killed, unable to even complete their ultimate ascension, dying a miserable death.

But as predicted earlier by Shao Hua, two victims were not enough to satisfy the five of them.

"Stone Sovereign, have you gone mad, trying to kill me?!"

The Hellbinding Sovereign roared. After the two others were killed, he found himself the next target of the Stone Sovereign, nearly stabbed in the back.

Fortunately, he had prepared for this and managed to avoid the fatal strike.

However, he had no choice but to undergo ultimate ascension and face off against the four Imperial Sovereigns alone.

"Hmph, don’t think I don’t know that you and the Longevity Heavenly Sovereign both came from the Netherworld and have been in close contact. Were you planning to betray us, using our blood to consecrate immortal artifacts to help you achieve immortality?" the Stone Sovereign sneered.

"Otherwise, why would you undergo ultimate ascension so quickly? You must have something to hide, being wary of us", another added.

The Hellbinding Sovereign’s eyes flashed, but he didn’t bother to argue.

Now forced into ultimate ascension, there was nothing left to say. He had reclaimed his former Dao Fruit and the dignity of his past as an Ancient Emperor.

If he was going to die, he wouldn’t let the others live easily. He would take as many as he could with him!

In the Immortal Ascension Path, the four Imperial Sovereigns surrounded the Hellbinding Sovereign, who was undergoing ultimate ascension. This spectacle was even more intense than the battle between the three Perfect Saint Bodies and the Longevity Heavenly Sovereign in the outside world.

Each side had their own plans, all aiming to use the other’s life to achieve their own goals. However, both sides unexpectedly encountered setbacks.

In reality, this situation was not beneficial for the major life prohibitions.

In the past, when they faced powerful emperors, they would rely on each other, working together to resist external pressures and overcome difficulties with minimal loss. They might even be companions on the Immortal Ascension Path in the future.

But this atmosphere of mutual trust began to erode after the Immortal Emperor of the Deathless Mountains reappeared in the world tens of thousands of years ago.

They realized that even without self-severance, they could live for millions of years by killing others of the same level and absorbing eternal immortal essence to prolong their lives, even achieving immortality in the mortal world!

As time passed, the Hellbinding Sovereign gradually fell into despair.

His lifespan wasn’t yet critical, and his condition was still good. He had expected the Longevity Heavenly Sovereign to come to his aid, but no help arrived.

Driven to madness, he fought fiercely against the four Imperial Sovereigns, breaking out of the Immortal Ascension Path, as the fluctuations of the Ancient Emperor's law swept through all eight directions.

It was then that the Hellbinding Sovereign and the Longevity Heavenly Sovereign realized they had both been forced into ultimate ascension.

In fact, the Hellbinding Sovereign was not entirely alone. The Immortal Mausoleum Sovereign, who had abandoned Lin Dong earlier, had come to the Yinhuo Ancient Star but was forcibly taken away by the Hengyu Sovereign.

The two didn’t engage in combat, just staring at each other on the moon.

The ancient Imperial Sovereigns could only be active for a few days after awakening from their slumber, which spanned tens of thousands of years.

The Hengyu Sovereign was different. Although he didn’t have much time left, he still had several hundred years, far surpassing the other Imperial Sovereigns.

He smirked, feeling self-satisfied. This was called winning without a fight.

When the other side grew anxious, he would take decisive action. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

"Mutual destruction!!" The Hellbinding Sovereign howled to the sky, forced to fight to the death.

Fighting one against four was a losing battle. If not for the Imperial Sovereigns’ reluctance to risk their lives, he would have already been overwhelmed, like the Perfect Saint Bodies who disregarded their own blood.

This highlighted the Longevity Heavenly Sovereign’s strength, standing against the three Perfect Saint Bodies, his mastery of the Zhe Character Secret allowing him to instantly recover from any injury, making him almost invincible.

However, the Perfect Saint Bodies’ greatest strength was their bodies, which rivaled those of emperors in both physical prowess and recovery. Relying solely on the Six Realms Cycle Fist, their offensive power was somewhat lacking, making the fight extremely arduous.

In the end, the Hellbinding Sovereign died. Unfortunately, he didn’t take anyone with him, only forcing one to undergo ultimate ascension and severely injuring another, dying with his eyes open in regret.

The Stone Sovereign, however, was not heavily wounded. He had protected the others early on, taking their bodies and reaping great benefits, fleeing the scene the fastest.

"I’m about to die. What’s the point of this world? Let it all be destroyed together!"

"Returning to the life prohibition will only mean death. I refuse to accept it. I will attempt ultimate ascension, reclaim my former Dao Fruit, and shatter the heavens and earth!"
