Chapter 298: Rebirth: I'm an Old Man (Twenty-Two)

The Heavenly Emperor recognized the figure.
It was Dongfang Yunxing.
Dongfang Yunxing had visited various Dao lineages, defeated countless geniuses, and had learned about this young man.
His talent was outstanding, no less than his own.
If he were to die, the next Great Emperor might be this young man.
But he remembered that this little fellow seemed to be only at the Great Saint Realm.
Why would he attract such a terrifying tribulation?
...
At this moment, facing the sudden tribulation, Dongfang Yunxing was equally bewildered.
Had he violated the Heavenly Laws?
However, he quickly understood the origin of this terrifying tribulation.
He seemed to have truly violated the Heavenly Laws.
His eight Nirvanas rebirths combined with the Heavenly Fate Pearl had brought his talent and comprehension to an extremely terrifying level.
So terrifying that even heaven and earth were wary of him and wanted to kill him prematurely.
Facing the terrifying tribulation, Dongfang Yunxing roared and flew directly out of the Divine Ancient Star.
Boundless radiance emanated from his body.
Facing the imprints of the ancient emperors, he showed no fear.
He was confident that even having just entered the Quasi-Emperor realm, he could easily shatter the imprints left by the ancient emperors.
One by one, the imprints of the emperors were shattered by Dongfang Yunxing.
The various races trembled.
"How can there be such a terrifying person in this world?"
"Having only entered the Quasi-Emperor realm, he can actually tear apart the tribulation imprints left by the ancient emperors... This has violated the rules of cultivation!"
"I know, it must be that the consciousness of heaven and earth cannot contain such a terrifying existence and wants to suppress him. Dongfang Yunxing is simply too powerful. If he becomes an emperor, I'm afraid this world will no longer be able to restrain him!"
"..."
Dongfang Yunxing shattered numerous imprints of the ancient emperors. He didn't stop there. Under everyone's gaze, he directly tore apart vast stretches of the sea of ​​laws, as if charging into the river of time to fight against the heavens.
That unparalleled grace captivated everyone.
Someone actually dared to defy the heavens!
Even the Heavenly Talisman Emperor, this contemporary emperor, an invincible powerhouse who had defeated countless geniuses and left an indelible mark on the river of time, felt a tremor in his heart at this moment.
What kind of aura was this?
After an unknown amount of time, Dongfang Yunxing emerged from the unknown land, covered in blood, the heavens weeping.
"He...succeeded."
"Not only did he defy the heavens, but he also survived. Throughout history, no one has ever done this."
"It's truly terrifying."
Although Dongfang Yunxing was not yet at the Emperor Realm,
all beings vaguely seemed to see two radiant suns shining brightly in this world.
At the very moment Dongfang Yunxing survived the great tribulation,
ancient supreme beings gradually awakened.
The life force of Dongfang Yunxing was far too tempting, even more terrifying than the elixir of immortality, and he was only at the Quasi-Emperor level. If they were to devour Dongfang Yunxing, they might be able to regain their former glory and reign supreme over the stars!
Just as a Supreme Being couldn't resist and directly attacked Dongfang Yunxing,
a talisman traversed the heavens and earth, illuminating the universe.
"Old ghost Tianfu, your lifespan has come to an end, yet you dare to meddle in other people's business?"
The Supreme Being who had attacked stepped out of the forbidden zone, silencing all living beings, and swallowing countless star fields.
He was completely unafraid of the current Great Emperor.
The Heavenly Talisman Emperor has grown old.
He no longer possesses the invincible, terrifying power of his youth, capable of easily slaying supreme beings.
"Even in my old age, slaying you all is as easy as turning my hand!"
The Heavenly Talisman Emperor's voice was resounding, his domineering aura unparalleled.
He was, after all, an emperor; even in his old age, he still possessed the spirit to suppress the universe and annihilate all.
With just one strike, the supreme being's expression changed.
"Gentlemen, the Heavenly Talisman Emperor has entered his twilight years, and unparalleled talents have emerged in the world. If you do not act today, you will surely become fish on a chopping block in the future!"
The Heavenly Talisman Emperor's mastery of runes ranks among the best in history, and the supreme being was trying to drag the other supreme beings down with him.
Unfortunately, no matter how he explained the crux of the matter, none of the Supreme Beings were willing to emerge at this moment. They were all waiting to see if the emerging Supreme Being could test the true strength of the Heavenly Talisman Emperor.
Long years passed.
Indifference and selfishness had been deeply etched into the hearts of these Supreme Beings.
"A bunch of short-sighted fools, unworthy of being called Emperors in the past!"
Seeing that none of the other Supreme Beings were willing to help him, the emerging Supreme Being let out a bitter laugh. His aura surged, and he began his extreme sublimation, restoring his former Emperor-level combat power.
Emperors possess their own pride. Even if they were to sever themselves and become Supreme Beings, in a life-or-death crisis, they would not give up their last chance to fight.
The Heavenly Talisman Emperor remained calm. Runes appeared in his hands, converging to form a Gate of Time.
The door swung open, and out stepped another figure, exuding the same aura as the Heavenly Talisman Emperor, but younger—a middle-aged man whose aura was domineering and suppressed all.
This… was also an Emperor-level warrior. The Heavenly Talisman Emperor, through some unknown means, had used runes to intercept time, preserving his former peak power.
Accompanied by a roar of unwilling resentment,
that Supreme Being finally burned out, dying at the hands of the Heavenly Talisman Emperor.
This scene caused cheers from the crowd and chills to the hearts of many Supreme Beings from forbidden zones.
So quickly, a Supreme Being who had ascended to the highest level had died.
“Enough, enough. The Heavenly Talisman Emperor is old; it’s not worth fighting to the death now.”
Weighing the pros and cons, no Supreme Being was willing to take the risk.
The Heavenly Talisman Emperor's methods were truly beyond comprehension; he could actually summon his younger self, lost to the ages—the peak of his imperial power!
No one knew how many more such methods the Heavenly Talisman Emperor possessed.
The starry sky fell into profound silence once more.
The Heavenly Talisman Emperor didn't leave behind many words; it seemed his duty was simply to protect all living beings.
"Thank you, Senior."
Dongfang Yunxing bowed deeply in the direction the Heavenly Talisman Emperor had departed, thanking him for helping him avert this great calamity.
However… Dongfang Yunxing did not return to the Divine Ancient Star.
Dongfang Yunxing's gaze turned to the other side of the starry sky, to a distant continent.
That was his homeland, a homeland he hadn't returned to in so long.
Having broken through to Quasi-Emperor status and successfully completed his eighth Nirvana, Dongfang Yunxing was stronger than ever before.
He vaguely sensed a familiar aura, an aura he would never forget, even after countless changes of time.
"Chen Xuan"
He had searched for Chen Xuan for thousands of years without finding his whereabouts, even believing Chen Xuan to be dead.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan was still alive.
Whether it was the hatred of the ninety-nine members of the Dongfang family, or his master's awakening,
he had to kill Chen Xuan.
