With a thunderous roar, Ye Fan's body blazed with golden light, countless divine runes danced, and infinite laws manifested. This was a technique he had devised, drawing inspiration from the Golden Divine Treasury.

This time, instead of weapons flying, beings from the Immortal Realm emerged collectively, embodying myriad tribulations as they descended upon the world. A Kunpeng shrieked through the cosmos, one wing-beat shattering a galaxy. A true dragon roared, its immense body coiling to turn the starry void to dust. A Vermilion Bird opened its mouth, exhaling endless immortal flames that incinerated the heavens.

At this moment, Ye Fan was in extreme peril. Laws erupted from him as he first resolved the curse affecting him, then blocked all heroic spirits from approaching. Divine runes shot out, colliding with them one by one. Finally, the area erupted, shattering the countless deities, while his divine runes gradually dimmed.

This was an astonishing secret art attack; the very first engagement tore the heavens and reduced galaxies to dust, rendering the place terrifying beyond measure. Yet, in the Six Harmonies and Heavens, many stone tablets remained, undiminished.

"Not bad, young man, you have some tricks, but it's still not enough to truly impress," Gen remarked.

At this moment, each stone tablet began to drip blood, slowly trickling down. The blood felt palpable, exuding a powerful Imperial Dao aura, and then a sea of blood emerged, submerging the entire area.

"Go to reincarnation!" Gen bellowed.

The vast sea of blood revealed a massive gateway in its midst, inscribed with the characters "Reincarnation," poised to pull Ye Fan in.

"What is your relationship with the Underworld?" Ye Fan demanded.

"You should ask what my relationship is with the Underworld Emperor," Gen replied chillingly.

Ye Fan was startled. He had always suspected a resemblance between the Sea of Reincarnation and the Underworld, and now his suspicions were confirmed. He couldn't help but stare at his opponent, trying to discern his true nature.

"Boom!"

The boundless sea of blood surged, and the gate descended, enveloping Ye Fan, threatening to swallow him whole. Ye Fan was fearless. He stretched out his arms, his fists glowing brightly as strands of immortal essence flowed forth, elevating his Dao principles and shattering heaven and earth.

Ye Fan entered the gate, smashing forward with a punch, valiant and invincible. At that moment, his mind was intensely focused, relying on his fists to shatter heaven and earth. The Gate of Reincarnation trembled violently, enduring Ye Fan's powerful blows, yet it remained indestructible. Only when Ye Fan's fists were nearly ablaze did it finally let out a thunderous, shattering explosion.

The sea of blood boiled, the Gate of Reincarnation shattered, and the place lay in ruins. Ye Fan stood tall amidst the destruction, having broken through.

"Back then, after the Underworld Venerable established the Underworld, he sought me out to discuss the Dao," Gen revealed, this news proving utterly astonishing.

Ye Fan's heart was greatly shaken; this individual was undoubtedly an ancient being, old beyond measure.

"Later, many believed I had perished, unaware that I had merely changed my identity and entered the Sea of Reincarnation. Ah, those youthful, glorious years, truly nostalgic," he murmured. He had once been like a demonic god, yet now he appeared somewhat lost in thought, dazed, and reminiscing about the past, which struck Ye Fan as odd.

Ye Fan realized that this was an Ancient Venerable, likely one of the Nine Great Celestial Venerables—a figure of myth with an astonishing background! The Longevity Celestial Venerable believed he was the most ancient of survivors, yet in the Sea of Reincarnation, there was another, who had changed identity, and also remained alive.

"Which of the Nine Great Celestial Venerables are you?" Ye Fan asked.

"What do you think?" Gen smiled. "The true names of the Nine Venerables are far less renowned and glorious than their titles back then, and they were never passed down to the world."

"I don't care who you are!" Ye Fan coldly retorted. "Since you are an enemy, I will kill you without hesitation!"

"Spirited," Gen nodded, his voice low, calm, and composed.

Ye Fan observed that these ancient tablets were quite peculiar, covering the heavens and earth, severing the aura of the place, and concealing their conversation, preventing it from spreading outwards. At that moment, Gen's gaze became eerily strange. He looked Ye Fan's body up and down, revealing an unsettling, peculiar gleam.

"When you made your move that day, you were the most peculiar, pursuing me relentlessly. It seems there's a reason for that!" Ye Fan met his gaze, intent on peering into his soul.

"I have perused the Underworld Emperor's scriptures and gained considerable enlightenment. I changed my identity because I replaced my physical body and a portion of my primordial spirit. Thus, I am no longer purely myself." Gen smiled, a sight that was unsettling no matter how one looked at it. His snow-white teeth flashed with a cold glint, and his eyes shimmered with silver points.

"What do you mean?" Ye Fan asked. The two had ceased fighting and were now in a standoff, yet their Dao principles and accumulated power were brewing, ready for a world-shattering strike to erupt at any moment.

"In the mythical era, I went into dormant. In a later age, I encountered someone on the verge of achieving the Dao, whose tribulation was as world-shattering as yours. He had almost stepped into the Imperial Dao realm, and I took his place," Gen explained. His voice was not loud, as if he were recounting an ordinary matter, yet it sent shivers down Ye Fan's spine. It was truly terrifying that he had forcibly seized another's destiny. In that life, he underwent ultimate sublimation, suppressing that person from achieving the Dao, seizing their body, and merging his primordial spirit with theirs to become who he is today.

"You are a monster!"

"I suppose so," Gen replied. "That person was 'digested' by me, and the merged primordial spirit is largely my own." This could be considered a method of longevity, as bizarre and eerie as the Underworld Emperor's ultimate rebirth through death.

"Are you targeting me now?"

"Indeed," Gen affirmed. "I believe you can extend my life. That day, with so many present, I could only continuously batter you. Now, it seems I can gamble for another lifetime. You are very impressive."

"Do you think you can seize my body and merge with my primordial spirit?" Ye Fan sneered.

"How would I know without trying?" Gen replied calmly. "Anyway, I'm almost at my limit. If I succeed, I'll be like a withered tree blooming in spring; if I fail, it's just death. No big deal."

"You anticipated I would come for you, so you prepared yourself?" Ye Fan asked.

"Not exactly," Gen replied with a slight smile. "I was quite hesitant. If you hadn't forced my hand, I might have remained dormant for a while longer, waiting to seek you out when you attempted to become an Emperor." Having lived for such an immense time, though he hoped for longevity, he no longer feared death, having experienced too much.

"Then today, you shall die!" Ye Fan roared. He unleashed his full power, an explosion of endless divine radiance that emitted the most dazzling light. Standing within the Divine Forbidden domain, he wielded the Heavenly Emperor Fist, charging forward. His strength rapidly soared to an astonishing degree, an Imperial Dao aura pervading the air, proving that his ability to challenge a Great Emperor was no mere boast.

The area blazed with light as many stone tablets exploded, unable to endure the immense pressure. Yet, their inscriptions remained immortal, transforming into intertwined laws that saturated the place. The two unleashed the fiercest battle imaginable!

This battle shook heaven and earth, astonishing all corners of the universe, causing every living creature to tremble. The Imperial Dao aura was too terrifying; such a battle was rarely seen in ancient times.

"The Divine Forbidden domain is a basic quality for a Great Emperor; it's nothing remarkable," Gen stated, having also ascended to this domain to confront Ye Fan.

"Boom!"

Ye Fan manifested his phenomenon: around him, sun, moon, mountains, and rivers emerged, an Immortal King descended upon the Nine Heavens, and various chaotic scenes densely intertwined to form a primordial world, threatening to swallow Gen whole. The fierce struggle continued, and all Imperial Dao laws formed from the tablet inscriptions were drawn into the chaotic world, shattered, and transformed into primal immortal light that burst forth in all directions.

"Undergo ultimate sublimation sooner, or you won't have a chance!" Ye Fan declared.

"No need to worry yourself; the most wonderful moment will surely arrive," Gen said, though he was far from careless. He employed his ultimate techniques, even bringing forth his weapon. The treasure vase in Gen's hand glowed, and the silver sea it had contained surged forth, like endless immortal essence, imbued with the most potent Great Dao laws, aimed at utterly destroying Ye Fan. That was the Sea of Reincarnation, an extremely terrifying substance.

"Come!" Gen roared, his entire body glowing. He was summoning something miraculous, which flew from the Big Dipper starfield. It was a crystalline small lake, rising from the shattered Holy Cliff, rapidly surging toward the high heavens before vanishing into the cosmos.

"The Reincarnation Lake? Has the Underworld Emperor appeared?"

"No, that's wrong. It's the person battling in the cosmos who is summoning it. He can't be the Underworld Emperor." At that moment, even those in the life restricted zones were surprised.

The crystalline lake merged into the cosmic battlefield, then combined with the Sea of Reincarnation, instantly transforming it. It now seemed capable of reflecting past and present lives, threatening to ensnare anyone within!

"This is something the Underworld Emperor left behind during his transformation. I have studied his ancient scriptures, and today I have borrowed it for my use," Gen stated.

Ye Fan was shocked; he had indeed seen that small lake before. Back then, the old madman and Little Nannan had both stood in a daze before it, and Little Nannan had even caught a glimpse of the future because of it. "The Reincarnation Lake... it was actually left by the Underworld Emperor." This was the first time Ye Fan had heard such a revelation.

There were three things in the world particularly strange and mysterious: the Reincarnation Lake, the Spirit Soul Pond, and the Flying Immortal Waterfall. In truth, they were all creations left behind by Supremes in their pursuit of longevity. Ye Fan had already encountered two of them, but he did not fully comprehend their miraculous uses. The crystalline lake water merged into the sea, imbuing the entire expanse with a soul, submerging Ye Fan, and threatening to reflect his past and present lives.

"Savor it to your heart's content!" Gen said. Even Gen himself would not dare to immerse himself in such a substance, for it was too bizarre. It might reflect the future, but it could also bring about various unforeseen calamities. Even the Underworld Emperor abandoned it after his transformation.

"Kill!" Ye Fan roared. He had no desire to entangle himself with such a substance; karma and the future were too nebulous. He only believed in the present, and with a punch, he smashed forward, intent on utterly destroying it.

The great battle erupted, with both fighting to the death. Ye Fan charged through the Sea of Reincarnation, stirring up boundless terrifying waves. His phenomena merged into one, blocking the substance so not a single drop touched him. With his arms moving, his hands continuously formed seals, manifesting suns, moons, galaxies, and myriad realms from his fingertips. He propelled these celestial bodies as if he were a divine being.

Creating heaven and earth! With his supreme divine ability, Ye Fan opened up one small world after another, creating over a thousand in the blink of an eye, then detonating them all.

"Boom!"

A thousand small worlds shattered, blasting the Sea of Reincarnation dry, its droplets rushing toward all corners of the cosmos.

"Boom!"

Gen held the Immortal Tear Green Gold treasure vase in both hands, aiming it at Ye Fan. From it erupted the most blazing light, containing the ultimate Imperial Dao laws, almost like an apocalypse. Above Ye Fan's head, the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron floated, myriad spirits appearing on its walls, and chaos permeating its mouth, like a vast Immortal Realm descending to suppress his foe.

"Dong!"

Brilliant light burst forth, and terrifying Imperial Dao laws collided. The place was annihilated, destruction becoming the dominant theme.

"Which of the Nine Great Celestial Venerables are you? If you don't undergo sublimation now, you'll have no chance," Ye Fan stated.

"I fear that once I undergo sublimation and reclaim my former might, I will startle many, and some will be afraid," Gen said, his eyes flickering.

"Kill!" Ye Fan roared.

And at that moment, Gen's aura changed. His brow shone brilliantly, and his entire body glowed as he began his ultimate transformation, preparing to reclaim his former might, his true identity about to surface.
