Chapter 60: Heaven Emperor, Save Me!!

Chapter 60: Heaven Emperor, Save Me!!

Within the Purple Peak, an entire world exists, yet today, this ancient imperial mountain trembled violently.

The sky in the Northern Region cracked open.

To the Immortal Heaven Empress, Shao Hua’s words might have seemed insulting.

But in reality, Shao Hua was merely speaking the truth.

Would someone who had ruled the mortal realm for thirty thousand years need to insult a mere aspirant?

"Fools cannot be taught, stubborn and beyond redemption. You are of no use."

Shao Hua pointed a finger, slender and fair, smooth and white as jade, seemingly gentle, yet harboring the power to split the heavens and sever the stars.

A single jade finger crushed the ages.

At that moment, a long roar echoed, shaking the star rivers, and a cold voice rebuked Shao Hua, "Even if you are the current emperor, you must not offend the Heaven Emperor!"

Once, the Immortal Heaven Emperor had eight great heavenly generals, some of whom had nearly attained the Dao, each incredibly powerful.

They were naturally sealed away, continuing to guard the Heaven Emperor’s majesty.

Some had not survived the eons and had long since perished, but others lived on, hidden within this ancient imperial mountain.

On a grand altar, the supreme divine throne of the Immortal Heaven Emperor was enshrined, and beside it, a towering figure appeared.

Without a doubt, this was one of the eight great heavenly generals, awakened by the emperor’s imposing aura.

As a heavenly general of the Heaven Emperor, his status was extraordinary, his pride soaring, and he would not particularly revere the Immortal Heaven Empress. However, he would not stand by and watch her be killed, nor would he tolerate anyone offending the Immortal Heaven Emperor.

Eighty-one celestial banners were unfurled, instantly forming a flawless Imperial Annihilation Formation, a supreme forbidden relic personally refined by the Immortal Heaven Emperor.

A forbidden relic could only be used a few times, with a limited lifespan, but its power was immense, surpassing ordinary magical artifacts.

At that moment, heaven and earth crumbled, and spirits wailed. If not for the countless magical arrays protecting the Purple Peak and the suppression of the Heaven Emperor's Dao, the Big Dipper and even the entire star region would have been shattered.

Who was the Immortal Heaven Emperor? The royal forbidden relic he left behind was indeed astonishing, but it was still insufficient to deal with Shao Hua.

"Boom!!!"

Shao Hua extended a crystalline jade hand, as if the six paths of reincarnation were pressing down, and she grabbed the burning forbidden relic.

The eighty-one banners shattered into dust, and the near-emperor general who had activated the relic was also obliterated.

A mere forbidden relic—how laughable if it could harm her.

Shao Hua turned her gaze, her eyes narrowing slightly, and she saw the divine throne of the Immortal Heaven Emperor.

It was very strange; the divine throne bore the words "Ascend to Immortality."

"Huh, ascend to immortality, huh." She sneered, and with a palm, she shattered the plaque, leaving a clear handprint.

She had not entered the Purple Peak out of idleness or to make up for past regrets, nor was it to prevent someone else from taking all the glory. Instead, she had recently sensed a hint of danger in the depths of her being.

She trusted her intuition; someone was secretly watching her!

The Forbidden Land Overlords would not dare to do this. Those ancient beings, even if they truly wanted to deal with her, would not move until her Heavenly Core Seal was on the verge of collapse.

Thus, it was easy to think of a certain ancient, undying bird.

Reborn from the blood of countless emperors, it had seized the Elixir of Immortality and transformed into a transcendent being.

Shao Hua sneered; the world was truly unpredictable. She had reached this point, and now the Immortal Heaven Emperor had his eye on her.

The small fry hadn’t taken the bait, but instead, a prehistoric behemoth had been lured out.

It was only natural. The emperor's son had attained the Dao and broken through the suppression of the Dao, equivalent to defying heaven twice.

Even the Immortal Heaven Emperor, in his early days, had sealed himself in a divine source for ten thousand years, avoiding the Dao of the Celestial Sovereign before attaining the Dao and becoming an emperor.

While the Dao suppression brought by the Celestial Sovereign was stronger, Shao Hua had undoubtedly achieved what the Immortal Heaven Emperor had once failed to do, which naturally drew his special attention.

Such a heaven-defying figure would have accumulated far more Elixir of Immortality by the end of their second life than the ordinary. It was the most precious substance in the mortal world, the foundation for transforming into the next life.

Even if her lifespan was nearly exhausted and her essence had withered, it was just a facade. A trace of the elixir of immortality was still being born within her, like a divine embryo.

Clearly, the Immortal Heaven Emperor had experienced the same, and he had set his sights on Shao Hua.

But Shao Hua had also sensed this and chose to directly storm the Purple Peak.

She wanted to see if the Immortal Heaven Emperor dared to show his face in broad daylight.

If he didn’t, she would take over his lair and perhaps even take his family as her own.

For the Immortal Heaven Emperor, who always lurked in the shadows, surviving by draining the blood of others, being exposed to the world might be more painful than death.

By the time the Overlords of the Forbidden Land are on high alert and the future Emperors are wary, how can he possibly launch a surprise attack?

It would be like cutting off his path to immortality!

After the experiences of the past, Shao Hua no longer wanted to be at a disadvantage. This time, she chose to take the initiative.

Ideally, she would force the Immortal Heaven Emperor to reveal himself. Then, the Overlords of the Forbidden Land would have no choice but to help her. If that didn’t happen, she wouldn’t hesitate to claim Purple Peak for herself.

“Now, no one can save you.” Shao Hua stood above the Immortal Heaven Empress, as if declaring the end was near.

In truth, she just wanted to see the Immortal Heaven Emperor’s hidden moves. Otherwise, why would she keep provoking, making herself seem like some great villain? She was actually a good person.

“This is all your fault. Do you think you’re so great, relying on others, thinking you’re invincible?”

The flawless jade face of the Immortal Heaven Empress twisted with a terrifying expression. Taking advantage of Shao Hua’s distraction as she smashed the memorial tablet, she revealed her ultimate move.

A small platform flew out from her celestial crown, ancient and holy, radiating a sense of timelessness, rapidly expanding.

This was the Primordial Phoenix Platform where the Immortal Heaven Emperor had once achieved enlightenment, a divine artifact that embodied his Dao and Law.

He had spent most of his life seated upon it, and the platform held immense significance.

“Heaven Emperor, you are eternal. I believe you are still alive, still in the world. Come and save me!”

The Immortal Heaven Empress shouted, then chanted an incantation. Ancient runes flew out, imprinting themselves in the air before infusing the ancient platform.

The platform expanded quickly, stopping at a diameter of ten zhang, hovering in mid-air. It had no luster, only a few bloodstains on its surface, radiating the aura of the Dao.

A shadow appeared on the Phoenix Platform, terrifying and powerful, possessing boundless strength, shaking the Big Dipper Star Region.

Shao Hua’s expression finally grew more serious. Her eyes narrowed, but she looked beyond the platform, gazing into the distance.

“Ha, who are you? You came from the Primordial Ancient Mine. Are you here to protect this woman?” She knew who this person was, but she couldn’t resist framing the Primordial Ancient Mine.

She had once made an agreement with the Primordial Ancient Mine. Now, with a supreme figure stepping out, harboring murderous intent, she could hold them accountable in the future.

The Primordial Ancient Mine remained silent. At this moment, words were useless. Most of the Overlords were also confused, not knowing what was happening.

Some, however, sensed something. Their unchanging expressions wavered, and they were deeply shocked.

The person who had just emerged from the ancient mine had a law and aura that closely resembled that of the supreme deity revered by all races in the ancient era—the Immortal Heaven Emperor!
