Chapter 846 - 429: Flawless Emperors Reappear
The Great Saints and Elder Quasi-Emperors, who were prepared to risk their lives and perform actions akin to the flight of the moth into the flame, suddenly looked aghast, as if they had seen a ghost.
Their hearts, which were steeling themselves for death, faltered at this moment, and a look of surprise and disbelief surfaced on their faces.
It's over just like that?!
Where on earth did he come from? This being reached Formation Tribulation Path and managed to kill two Supremes from the Restricted Area with just a few punches and kicks. Even if the opponents had yet to ascend, it shouldn't have been this easy to kill them.
As he watched the Celestial Heart Seal slowly converge in front of his forehead, Lu Ren willed it, stopping the seal three inches away from embedding in his brow.
He extended his hand and took the flickering Celestial Heart Seal, a thoughtful expression crossing his face, ultimately deciding not to allow the seal to merge into his body.
The path he walked differed from the Heaven-Covering Grand Cosmos. Allowing the Celestial Heart Seal into his body would corrupt it.
One could only comprehend it, never assimilate it; it could be referenced, but not internally incorporated.
What excited Lu Ren the most was the two prompts from the system just now, which left him thrilled.
"Ding! You have successfully killed the White Tiger Venerable, gaining three Skill Points."
"Ding! You have successfully killed the Immortal Tears Green Gold Saint Spirit, gaining three Skill Points."
Seeing these prompts, which he hadn't seen in a long time, stirred his heart. With the return of Skill Points acquisition messages, the days of gaining Destiny Points might not be far off.
This also explained why Lu Ren was reluctant as he looked at the several Restricted Areas within the Heaven-Covering Grand Cosmos. If he were to eliminate every Supreme in these areas, the accumulation of over a hundred Supremes through these ages could surely boost his Skill Points to three-four thousand. Perhaps there were a few key figures from whom Destiny Points might be obtained.
Moreover, considering the task of clearing these areas, such immense merit should rightly yield a significant amount of Destiny Points.
As for the Immortal Realm above, or the Sea of Realms where Shi Hao waged war, they were currently not within Lu Ren's considerations.
Such beings, with such terrifying prowess, should have obtained the Golden Immortal Path Fruit already.
Capitalizing on the power from the Formation Tribulation Path before it dissipated, Lu Ren seized the moment, stepping across endless starry skies to reach the Beidou Star Realm, standing before the Eastern Wilderness, at the Taichu Ancient Mine.
Playing with a large piece of Immortal Tear Green Gold, Lu Ren exhaled and refined True Power, his gaze shooting divine light, scanning the awakened Supremes within.
Buzz!!
Under Lu Ren's unbridled gaze of domination, the entire Taichu Ancient Mine buzzed continuously, with billions of streams of Source Qi carrying an inexplicable ominous aura, cascading down like a tide, vaguely interlinking with the myriad paths of the cosmos, as if the slightest stir of this ominous aura could instantly spread throughout the cosmos.
Is this a bind for life and death?
Lu Ren raised his eyebrows slightly, understanding that this was a stance of desperation, indicating that as soon as he dared to attack, there were still eighteen Supremes within the Taichu Ancient Mine.
Aside from those reluctant to act earlier like the True Phoenix, there were also the Qilin, Corpse Emperor, Ten Thousand Dragons Emperor, Golden Ancient Emperor, and several other well-known Supremes; the origins of others were unknown to Lu Ren.
After all, the ages of the entire Heaven-Covering Grand Cosmos were exceedingly long, and even the locals might not be clear about how many Supremes truly emerged.
There are already over a hundred Supremes merely hiding in the Nine Great Forbidden Areas, not mentioning those who refused to self-lacerate and turned into creatures that only know how to devour the cosmos's living beings as blood food.
Mad, there sure are a lot of these guys.
"Send out three, and I can spare this Restricted Area," Lu Ren said, his tone indifferent, his words full of a murderous aura.
As for why he dared to act so confidently without fearing being ganged up by the Supremes within the Taichu Ancient Mine, it was completely calculated that these guys, hiding within the Restricted Area after self-laceration, were mostly selfish and self-serving.
Moreover, as Supremes, their inner pride was unmatched, with a mind of going their own way. Unless Lu Ren's power was truly beyond what a single one could contend with, it would only require two to three, maybe three to four allies at most, to challenge him.
As for the Restricted Area allying together, such an occurrence was impossible; managing not to take advantage of others and harvesting severely injured and dying Supremes was already considered being of commendable character.
Within the entire Beidou Star Realm, upon hearing Lu Ren's unfiltered words, the Saints of various races were uncontrollably moved, tears flowing down their cheeks as they shouted in elation.
"Holy Emperor above, at last, another Emperor has emerged to govern the Restricted Areas and quell the dark turmoil!"
An Elder Quasi-Emperor, armed with a Forbidden Artifact, crossed the Star Realm, using Secret Techniques to conceal his aura and form entirely, intending to detonate the Forbidden Artifact during a great battle to inflict heavy damage on the Supremes.
Seemingly provoked by Lu Ren's contemptuous words, the entire Taichu Ancient Mine shone to the extreme.
"Who will go with me?"
A deep, angry voice echoed throughout the Taichu Ancient Mine.
"I will!"
After a moment of silence, an icy voice responded, and a Purple Gold Saint Spirit emerged from the Taichu Ancient Mine, with purple Qi extending infinitely, interweaving endlessly within the whole Taichu Ancient Mine, faintly uniting with the myriad paths, exuding a boundless aura of unrivaled dominance.
This Purple Gold Saint Emperor, whose Qi and Blood were still relatively ample, was in the midst of an ultimate ascension, with his brow's Immortal Platform faintly emitting boundless Immortal Light, his aura climbing rapidly, and the Taoism Fruit that had been severed in the past reappearing at this moment, his path rapidly soaring to the absolute peak, emitting an endless radiance.
Another Supreme that emerged from the Taichu Ancient Mine also radiated infinite splendor, surrounded by a glow of Immortal Light, faintly infused with blood malice, as if countless vengeful spirits floated therein.
This was a Supreme who had at least experienced two dark turmoils. Like the Purple Gold Saint Spirit, he now began his ultimate ascension, unleashing his Taoism Fruit, with power extending throughout the cosmos with every gesture, causing the entire Beidou Star Realm to tremble, making the Star River quiver.
The entire cosmos's sentient beings were in shock, and the Supremes in the Restricted Areas remained silent. This newly achieved being, remarkably, waited as two Flawless Emperors reemerged, allowing them to fully ascend and become world-time Supremes.
As time drifted by, the myriad paths of the cosmos continued to hum, showing a faint trend towards unification. Ultimately, two beams of radiance shot through the universe's starry river, spreading across the cosmos. A once-severed Taoism Fruit reappeared, falling back into the Immortal Platform at the brow, glowing brilliantly, astonishing throughout eternity.
The Purple Gold Saint Spirit, in its Great Perfection Saint Spirit form, wielded pressure to dim even the universe's stars.
"Two Emperor beings in peak state, one Holy Spirit and one Ancient Emperor—how could anyone possibly overcome this?!"
Upon witnessing this, a Great Saint felt a strong sense of powerlessness arise in his heart. Even though he was prepared to sacrifice himself, in the face of Flawless Emperors' resurgence, no matter the means he employed, it would be futile.
