Chapter 158: The Eldest Senior Brother of Luodi Mountain (Twenty-Three)

The Forbidden Zone of the Demon Abyss.
Fang Bubai grew increasingly powerful, as if a universe was being created and destroyed around him; the vast sea of ​​stars was merely a corner behind him.
“Great Emperor of the present, do you truly intend to fight us to the death?”
Nearly twenty thousand years!
They hadn't been able to slumber for a single day. Even with their best efforts to conserve energy, they were nearly driven to their limits by Fang Bubai.
Fang Bubai remained unmoved.
“Great Emperor of the present, if we were to unleash a Dark Turmoil, you should consider just how terrifying that Dark Turmoil would be. Do you think the other forbidden zones would obediently remain within their boundaries? Once we unleash a Dark Turmoil to hold you back, they will attack all living beings in the universe without restraint. You will be a sinner against all races of the universe!”
The supreme being within the Forbidden Zone of the Demon Abyss threatened.
Fang Bubai said calmly, "My mission is to suppress you all. What do I care if countless lives are lost?"
"Heh, the current Great Emperor, you are truly cold-blooded. Even when I was Emperor, I wouldn't have abandoned all living beings. I would have created a prosperous era."
A mocking voice echoed from the Demon Abyss Forbidden Zone, seemingly laughing at him.
Fang Bubai spoke expressionlessly, "Hypocrisy. Your actions are nothing but a facade of peace. As long as I can pacify the Demon Abyss Forbidden Zone, what does it matter if the masses curse me? Let them curse. If cursing me will cause the deaths of a few of you, even if you are infamous for eternity, I don't care."
The Demon Abyss Forbidden Zone is guarded by at least ten Supreme Beings.
Such a number, if they joined forces, would be enough to kill a newly enlightened Great Emperor.
If they were to unite with several other powerful Forbidden Zones...
After his death, would a new Great Emperor be born in this universe?
"Great Emperor of this era, we merely nurture some living beings to provide sustenance. We wish to live, but we have never harmed the myriad beings of the universe, never hindered your path to enlightenment, nor have we hindered the path to enlightenment of past Great Emperors. What wrong have we committed? We too were once Emperors!"
A Supreme Being roared from within the forbidden zone, seemingly filled with resentment.
Fang Bubai coldly replied, "Your very existence is the greatest mistake!"
"Great Emperor of this era, are you truly unwilling to yield an inch?" Another Supreme Being questioned from within the forbidden zone.
Fang Bubai's body swirled with Xuanhuang aura, causing the myriad paths of the universe to tremble. Calm yet icy, he said, "If you wish to fight, then fight! If you die, I will retreat!"
Eleven figures that shook the universe flew out of the Demon Abyss Forbidden Zone.
"Then kill! So what if we are Great Emperors? We have all reached that level before!"
"Since you don't want us to have an easy time, then don't blame us for slaughtering an Emperor and bathing in his blood!"
"..."
The Demon Abyss Forbidden Zone completely spiraled out of control. The eleven Supreme Beings chose to fight to the death.
...
Azure Netherworld Domain
Fallen Emperor Mountain
Su Chen felt a terrifying power sweeping across the entire universe, making him tremble and unable to resist...
"The Demon Abyss Forbidden Zone is in turmoil; the Emperor War has fully erupted!"
Su Chen knew what a terrible consequence this would be.
When Fang Bubai was not restraining them, the forbidden zones in the universe were deathly silent.
Now, facing the counterattack of the entire Demon Abyss Forbidden Zone, those supreme beings who hadn't eaten since the era of the Divine Emperor were probably all starving and eagerly appearing to plunder living beings.
A variety of demons and monsters would also emerge.
Soon, a terrifying being appeared in a forbidden area of ​​the Azure Netherworld Domain. The land was barren and desolate, and it casually picked up millions of living beings, swallowing them whole. Its body showed signs of regaining its color, and it laughed loudly, "Awesome, so incredibly awesome... but..."
The terrifying being tilted its head, a cruel smile spreading across its lips.
"I seem to have discovered something interesting."
The terrifying being's figure flashed by, appearing above Mount Luodi.
"I can't sense that old ghost's aura. That old ghost is dead!"
"No, not even the aura of an Emperor Weapon. The Emperor Weapon of Mount Luodi is gone!"
"Truly, heaven is helping me!"
The terrifying being laughed heartily.
At this moment, he noticed two figures emerging from Mount Luodi.
“Two Great Saints? You think you can challenge a Quasi-Emperor like me?”
The terrifying being scoffed.
Su Chen turned to Lin Changsheng and said, “Changsheng, I’ve never taught you anything before. Watch this battle closely.”
Lin Changsheng nodded.
At that moment, Su Chen spread his arms, and a giant golden sword that pierced through the heavens and earth rose from the ground. All the sword cultivators in the entire Qingming Dao Domain saw this giant golden sword appear before their eyes in a trance. At this moment, only one Great Dao remained in the entire Qingming Dao Domain.
Sword Dao!
"This is... the perfected Innate Supreme Divine Body! Nangong Chen has already stepped into that forbidden realm!"
The ancient beings of the Azure Netherworld Domain were all horrified.
The terrifying being's expression changed: "I didn't expect that old ghost to be dead, and the Emperor Weapon of Fallen Emperor Mountain to be lost, yet someone like you could still appear!"
A peak Great Saint combined with a perfected Divine Body possessed strength that posed a threat to him.
"Even so, so what?"
The terrifying being had no intention of letting Su Chen go; a perfected Divine Body was far more potent than any divine medicine!
The battle between the two was earth-shattering, shattering countless star seas.
Su Chen severed its head, obliterating the terrifying being's body; one head vanished into the starry sky, its whereabouts unknown.
In the many star seas beyond the domain, supreme beings opened their mouths, devouring all the life in their respective star regions. In the starry sky, quasi-emperors were also born, wielding supreme Emperor Weapons, ready to fight to the death.
A scream echoed from one of the star seas.
"Shen Yan, you damned old bastard, you can't even find peace in death!"
A middle-aged man with a full head of silver hair, like a god or demon, was imprinted in the void, wearing tattered robes and wielding a pagoda, fighting against a Supreme Being.
"Li Shenhua... he's still alive?"
Su Chen was somewhat surprised.
In the direction of the Azure Netherworld Domain, an elderly Quasi-Emperor, wielding an Emperor Weapon, reigned supreme in the starry sky, blocking the path of a Supreme Being.
The same was true in the Profound Netherworld Demon Domain. After countless millennia of struggle, at this moment, the remaining Quasi-Emperors of the Profound Netherworld Demon Domain and the Quasi-Emperors of the Azure Netherworld Domain were more united than ever before, joining forces to hold off a Supreme Being and buy time.
In this universe, at this moment, all races were alike, united by an unprecedented conviction!
Even so, there were too many Supreme Beings appearing. Besides the eleven from the Demon Abyss Forbidden Zone, there were seven more Supreme Beings, not to mention the numerous Quasi-Emperors and Saints.
Aside from a few self-proclaimed old fogies, most Quasi-Emperors in this era are either dead or nearing the end of their lifespans, making it almost the end of the Dharma era. The number of powerful beings among the myriad races is far too small.
"I must break through to Quasi-Emperor!"
The countless deaths in the universe gave Su Chen a sense of opportunity for breakthrough.
The Dao that suppressed all living beings pressed down on Su Chen, but it couldn't stop his unwavering belief.
The sea of ​​lightning surged, attracting one powerful being after another from the forbidden zones, including many Quasi-Emperors. They wanted to dismember Su Chen after his breakthrough... A Quasi-Emperor with a perfected divine body is practically a half-immortal elixir.
Even... there were even more terrifying gazes fixed on Su Chen.
