"Sigh," he said, "I once told you not to be too bloodthirsty, as retribution would eventually come. Do you see it now?" The old man shook his head, a mixture of helplessness and lament in his expression, and walked into the peach grove.

More than a dozen young people were there; some were sealed within sources, while others stood motionless, staring at Ye Fan and the Stone Emperor.

"Let's go," he said. "From this day forward, the Undying Mountain will no longer exist in this world; the general trend cannot be stopped. This old man is nearing his end and has caught a glimpse of the future. Living a simple, ordinary life from now on will also be a fulfilling one for you."

With a flick of his wide sleeve, he gathered everyone within, then departed without a backward glance. Outside, he collected a small mountain that shimmered with a flash of immortal tear green gold light. After that, he was never seen in the human world again.

This was the choice of a supreme being. That it would end this way was beyond Ye Fan's expectation; the old man had ultimately come to terms with everything, not even bothering to glance at the path to immortality.

The Stone Emperor remained silent. Having reached such a realm, there was nothing he didn't comprehend; he naturally understood that state of mind. Yet, individuals are different.

"The Undying Mountain is a sworn enemy of the Void Lineage and has an unending feud with the Sacred Body," the Stone Emperor finally declared, his face grim and arrogant. "You are the son-in-law of the Great Emperor Void's lineage and also a Sacred Body. You must die!"

"Hahaha..." Ye Fan roared with laughter, pointing a finger at him. "Do you still think this is the era of the dark turmoil? Since I have arrived, it is to claim your head!"

"Hundreds of years ago, the Void returned, and Heng Yu reappeared, yet it was still a scene of bloodshed," the Stone Emperor said coldly. "Today, I do not wish to be entangled with you further. Ten moves will be the limit. If I cannot kill you, I will end my own life!"

"How audacious!" Ye Fan retorted, his face darkening. "Even the Carefree Heavenly Venerate wouldn't dare treat me like this. Do you, an old stone, even qualify?!" Ye Fan knew the Stone Emperor was incredibly strong, almost the strongest being since ancient times.

Ye Fan now possessed such confidence and capability. Centuries had passed, and he had pushed even further, reaching the pinnacle of his power, truly peerless in the world.

In the past, he and his companions had entered the life restricted zones with apprehension and extreme caution, daring not to be careless. Now, everything was different; he was capable of fighting against a being like the Stone Emperor.

"Hahaha..." The Stone Emperor laughed raucously, his arrogance boundless, disheveled hair flying, and eyes so cold they could freeze the universe. "Brat, you were lucky to escape with your life back then. Today, give it back and end your life completely!" He swung his great halberd forward.

Ye Fan soared into the cosmos, unwilling to destroy the Big Dipper star field, for which he held too much affection.

The Stone Emperor followed him into the heavens, his great halberd's trajectory unwavering, relentlessly striking towards Ye Fan. Its dark light sliced through eternity, illuminating the starlit river!

"A battle in the restricted zone!"

The people of the Big Dipper trembled. The lowest-level cultivators, unable to flee their homes, were all chilled to the bone upon witnessing this spectacle.

"We believe Senior Ye can defeat him!" people prayed.

The major powers had long since evacuated, leaving only sects without deep foundations. They had no means of entering the star field.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Fan and the Stone Emperor traversed countless star fields, reaching the cosmic frontier where they successively halted.

"Buzz."

The great halberd struck down with a buzzing tremor. Dragon patterns appeared, and an ink-colored dragon rose, lunging at Ye Fan. That halberd, imbued with sentience, bared its fangs and claws; it was a supreme imperial strike.

"Clang!"

Above Ye Fan's head appeared the Cauldron of Myriad Things Mother Qi, from which mother qi flowed, suppressing the ten directions of the universe as it resisted the great halberd. With a long roar, Ye Fan himself charged forward, immediately unleashing the Heavenly Emperor Fist to strike the Stone Emperor's glabella.

With only ten moves to decide victory or defeat, life or death, there was no room for feints. This was a ferocious, no-holds-barred fight, where every move had to be a decisive killer blow.

"Boom!"

The Stone Emperor had been dominant throughout his life, having witnessed figures like the Ruthless Emperor, the Void Emperor, and the Wushi Emperor. He had lived through incredibly long eras and never succumbed to the effects of old age. Clashing with Ye Fan, he too met the attack with a clenched fist.

This was an earth-shattering grand confrontation. This single collision alone destroyed vast regions of the star sea and the chaotic frontier, turning the area into a source of devastation.

Amidst clanging sounds and the eruption of imperial laws, with billions of strands of immortal light and tens of millions of auspicious rays, both figures violently shook, successively retreating and flying sideways.

The Stone Emperor had actually undergone a sublimation, rapidly ascending to his peak during his confrontation with Ye Fan. This terrifying strike continuously vibrated, as if he aimed to crush Ye Fan into pulp.

This revealed his apprehension towards Ye Fan; otherwise, why would he sublimate so quickly?

This was akin to stepping onto a path of no return. After this battle with Ye Fan, regardless of the outcome, he would not survive. Perhaps only by immediately entering the path to immortality and becoming an immortal could he prolong his existence.

As Ye Fan retreated, a splash of blood appeared on his body. The Stone Emperor, too, staggered, having suffered a heavy blow, with blood continuously dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"So that's it," Ye Fan sneered. "You were severely wounded back then, your vital energy withered, and your grave injuries are hard to heal. That's why you can only decide life or death within ten moves!"

No wonder his opponent boasted so; this was, in fact, a form of helplessness. The Stone Emperor still suffered from a Great Dao injury that had never fully healed. In the past, he had fought bloody battles across the world, devouring life forms. Later, the Desolate Lord appeared, unmatched throughout the world, slaying a sublimated ancient emperor. This forced the Stone Emperor to retreat decisively to the Undying Mountain, unable to replenish enough life essence.

"Imperial Seal of the World!" the Stone Emperor roared. In an instant, his boiling divine power solidified, and all chaotic qi in this universe became still, freezing eternity.

As expected, Ye Fan found it difficult to move, his entire body feeling as if it had sunk into a quagmire, clearly in great trouble.

"My primordial spirit is immortal, my heart is eternal!" he murmured, struggling to activate his own laws. His mighty physical body was unresponsive at this moment, but his glabella began to glow, and his primordial spirit, merging with the Dao, broke free. "Ah—!" Ye Fan roared. His primordial spirit sparkled, igniting the starry sky. A golden figure, no taller than a fist, appeared, incomparably majestic. Holding a cauldron in one hand and wielding the power of time in the other, it instantly arrived and lunged at the Stone Emperor.

Simultaneously, as his primordial spirit broke free from its restraints, his physical body also erupted with power, shattering the void and his vital energy engulfing the cosmos. He instantly leaped forth, unleashing a devastating attack on the Stone Emperor.

This was a grand confrontation of secret techniques. Ye Fan had integrated the "Front" secret, "Movement" secret, "Cosmic Seal," and other techniques, creating a grand method of time. With his primordial spirit leading the attack and his physical body providing support, this method was supremely rigid, supremely strong, and utterly indestructible.

"Boom!"

A violent collision ensued, the area resounding with clanging. Both the Cauldron of Myriad Things Mother Qi and the black-gold great halberd violently shook, sending sparks flying. Simultaneously, splashes of blood appeared on both supreme beings.

"Kill!"

Ye Fan's primordial spirit and physical body almost simultaneously rushed towards the Stone Emperor. At that moment, they reached their peak, sublimated and merged back into a single entity, undergoing a peculiar evolution and transformation. As if a great clock of time was softly tolling, his entire being pressed down.

"Boom!"

The Stone Emperor was sent flying, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood. He was no longer in his prime, after all, and suffered a massive loss in this second grand confrontation.

The primary reason was that his internal injuries were stirred up, causing old wounds to relapse. Strands of imperial blood splattered into the starry sky, a truly shocking sight.

He was unconvinced and utterly indignant. Back then, Ye Fan was no different from an ant in his eyes. Even with the body of a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, he was unworthy as an opponent and was killed, bleeding across the starry sky. Yet, in less than a millennium, this opponent had grown so powerful as to suppress and kill him. How could he possibly accept such a turn of events?

"With my imperial blood, I shall sacrifice a celestial being!" he roared.

With a hum, this part of the universe ignited. Time and space both fell within the range of his forbidden secret technique. The Stone Emperor bled, his blood dyeing the universe red, then he thunderously ignited, emitting a Dao chime.

In an instant, Ye Fan was submerged, with no way to evade the attack.

"Puff."

Ye Fan suffered a heavy blow, exploding in the sky. This was one of the Stone Emperor's most terrifying methods, known as the "Living Sacrifice to Immortals," created specifically to deal with any immortal who might descend into the world.

He used his own blood and life as a catalyst for this sacrifice, aiming to destroy his enemy.

Ye Fan recovered, reassembling his body, his expression solemn. This was only the third move, yet he had already suffered a massive loss.

Of course, while the limit was ten moves, it wasn't a simple count. Each move surpassed hundreds or even thousands of ordinary attacks, serving as a decisive killer blow that could instantly determine life or death.

The Stone Emperor's vital energy was limited, compelling him to use such drastic methods against his opponent. He couldn't sustain this for too long, as he also needed to conserve some energy for his attempt to enter the path to immortality.

Blood was still flowing, and the forbidden secret technique of "Living Sacrifice to Immortals" continued. The Stone Emperor was willing to harm himself to destroy Ye Fan.

Ye Fan unfurled his phenomenon, disintegrating heaven and earth. He swept away the laws in the void, creating a pure land for himself, remaining unaffected.

Simultaneously, he wielded the Heavenly Emperor Fist, which boomed mightily. All suns, moons, and stars in the universe resonated with his power, emitting brilliant light as they surged from every corner. He launched continuous, powerful strikes, destroying the remaining divine chains of order.

"Stone Emperor, no matter what methods you possess, you are doomed today!" Ye Fan roared, thinking of his old friends. He felt as if he had returned to the era of dark turmoil, with that despair and sorrow lingering in his heart.

No longer powerless, he stood at the absolute peak of strength, capable of avenging them.

"Boom!"

Ye Fan proactively attacked, his phenomenon locking down eternity and fixing the Stone Emperor in place. With his left hand, he formed the "Cosmic Seal"; with his right, the "Universal Seal." The "Front" secret circulated at his glabella, and the "Movement" secret beneath his feet moved like a rainbow. He transformed into a fiercely burning ball of light, charging forth with immense power.

"Puff."

This time, Ye Fan achieved a great victory, blasting the Stone Emperor apart. So many powerful secret techniques unleashed together, fast, precise, and ruthless; even the mighty Stone Emperor could not withstand it, his flesh and blood scattering.

"With my divine blood, I forge immortality!"

The Stone Emperor roared, not rushing to restore his aging body. He merely protected his primordial spirit, then let out a demonic sound that shook the ancient heavens.

A strange power surged. A god-demon-like figure walked from afar, exuding the aura of ages, terrifying and utterly powerful.

"My future life body, reveal your ultimate profoundness and utterly slay him!" the Stone Emperor roared, and that figure immediately became overwhelmingly terrifying.

Ye Fan's heart violently shook. He did not believe in future lives, only in the present. How could his opponent unleash such a cultivation method?

"No, it's his 'Dao Self'!" Ye Fan realized, greatly moved and unable to help but marvel. "He can actually use it like this to display such power!" The Stone Emperor was a peerless genius, solving a difficult problem for him and suddenly enlightening Ye Fan's mind.

For years, Ye Fan had been researching the "past self" and "Dao self," but had found it difficult to convert them into tangible combat power. The Stone Emperor had just opened a new door for him.

Although excited, Ye Fan was currently facing extreme danger.

Ye Fan felt a constant sense of restraint, as if he were sealed. Indeed, he encountered a great calamity this time, being directly blasted apart twice, his blood spilling and dyeing this part of the universe crimson.

However, he finally broke free and unleashed his full power, pulverizing that "Dao Self" god-demon into dust.

The Stone Emperor violently shook, having already reassembled. His face was pale, and he was once again severely wounded. He knew his chances were slim today; he had even used forbidden techniques, but they had all failed.

"It seems ten moves won't be necessary," he roared, devoid of joy or sorrow. "A life-or-death battle, the final strike!"
