The voice was not loud, yet it was powerful enough to reverberate across the major star seas. Five hundred years had passed, and Ye Fan had remained secluded. Many suspected he had been incapacitated in the Battle for Immortality. However, his formidable presence today caused all races to tremble.

In the past, he had forged an unparalleled and invincible reputation, earning the title of the premier 'reaper' of heads from the supreme beings in the restricted zones. Invincible throughout the land, who wouldn't fear him?

Even with the emergence of a true Great Emperor, Ye Fan's brilliance remained undimmed, inspiring awe in countless individuals who dared not oppose him.

The heavenly tribulation rent the sky, stirring the entire universe. Ye Tong pressed on relentlessly, transcending the nine layers of calamity, only to then unexpectedly draw forth even more terrifying bolts of lightning.

"Is he truly attempting to enter the Great Emperor realm?"

The world was astounded. The Heavenly Court lineage was indeed formidable; not only did they have Ye Fan overseeing it, but his disciples had also grown to such terrifying heights. What was to be done?

Beyond the common folk, even some supreme beings within the restricted zones began to show concern. They realized that if this trend continued, Ye Fan would gain powerful lieutenants, and in the future, he might indeed move to conquer the restricted zones.

Currently, Ye Fan was a lone force, without assistance. Any major move he contemplated required careful consideration of severe consequences. However, if his disciples were to enter this realm one by one, what further reservations would he have?

"Whoosh!"

A divine beam of light pierced through, striking at Ye Tong, immensely terrifying and even more potent than the lightning tribulation.

An ancient supreme being had intervened, yet did not reveal their aura. They merely shot forth a beam of destructive light, intending to disrupt Ye Tong and prevent his smooth entry into the Emperor realm.

Ye Fan's mighty hand had already reached out, but he withdrew it. When he underwent his own tribulation, he had barely survived, enduring countless hardships. He hoped his disciple could withstand this trial.

"Clang!"

A resonant bell chime echoed as Ye Tong opened his mouth and projected a divine bell. It was not a physical bell, but one formed from the essence of the Sun God, forged by fundamental laws.

"Swish!"

The divine light, imperishable, pierced through the great bell, causing it to instantly shatter across the heavens and earth, transforming into a golden storm with fragmented laws.

Furthermore, the divine light persisted, continuing its rush toward Ye Tong, placing him in mortal peril even as he contended with the more terrifying lightning bolts.

"'They've truly struck with full force, just as they did against me back then,' Ye Fan murmured to himself, yet he remained motionless. Beams of light crisscrossed as Ye Tong unleashed all his secret techniques, battling and maneuvering within the sea of thunder, using the heavenly tribulation to deplete the power of the divine light."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, an enormous palm of light descended, eclipsing the entire heavenly tribulation and covering everything beneath it.

"Whoosh!"

A jade Ruyi scepter sliced through the sky and struck down. While seemingly gentle, a closer look revealed that the flowing streaks of light were, astonishingly, entire galaxies, a truly shocking sight.

Ye Fan did not intervene, choosing instead to observe meticulously, determining which restricted zones these attacks originated from.

Evidently, even beings as powerful as those in the restricted zones were now extremely wary of Ye Fan's wrath. They had severed their connections to those divine principles, leaving no traceable source or root.

Four or five beams of light danced around Ye Tong, who coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, his body feeling as if it would rupture. He was explosively shattered several times.

The great tribulation continued, and Ye Tong eventually evaded the attacks. As time passed, all the light beams and weapons forged from fundamental laws were obliterated within the lightning.

He condensed the Sun God's blood, roared defiantly towards the sky, and his reconstructed body became incredibly robust. With a powerful leap, he not only elevated physically but also transcended a significant boundary in his cultivation.

He strived to reach the Great Emperor realm, endeavoring to enter that domain. Despite the immense difficulty, he pressed forward, constantly attempting.

"Boom!"

Across heaven and earth, winds howled and thunder roared. Chilling gusts shrieked, divine thunder rumbled, and phantom immortals descended, wreaking havoc in all directions.

The scene was horrifying and spine-chilling. This was an unavoidable trial for achieving emperorship, and it wasn't even the true Emperor Tribulation yet. Ye Tong painstakingly took a step forward.

"This is bad!"

Someone in the life restricted zone murmured, sensing that something was amiss.

With the Golden Crow Great Emperor currently reigning, others could not fully ascend to emperorship. However, it was possible to enter this realm halfway, or even achieve an alternative form of enlightenment.

By then, they truly could follow Ye Fan into battle. An invincible Sacred Body alone was already cause for unease; if there were another person like him, all supreme beings would grow restless.

In an instant, Shenxiao was unsheathed, a sword unleashed, stirring clouds in all directions, slaying countless beings, and besieging the Star River!

The sword's killing intent was overwhelming. Someone had condensed a supreme divine principle, even more terrifying than the previous attacks, capable of slaying a person in an instant. Even a ninth-heaven Quasi-Emperor couldn't withstand it.

Ye Tong resisted, continuously dodging.

At this moment, the killing light from other aggressors was also unleashed, conjured from thin air and directly exerting suppression.

Ye Fan no longer remained indifferent. From his spiritual essence, a Cauldron of All Things Mother Qi flew forth, descending to block all incoming attacks. Within the cauldron's mouth, chaos swirled like a sea, devouring all the destructive beams.

Most startling were the dark red bloodstains on the cauldron, fresh and seemingly still dripping, reflecting several figures. This sight was horrifying, for they were none other than Heavenly Venerate Xiaoyao, Stone Emperor, Daoist White Tiger, Beast God, and others.

Although Ye Fan had not yet achieved emperorship, this cauldron had consumed the blood of numerous ancient venerables. It had long since evolved and become sentient to an astonishing degree, capable of dissolving all destructive beams.

Before any further divine light could reappear in the sky, the Cauldron of All Things Mother Qi reversed direction, instantly departing. It descended above the Fire Mulberry Star, rumbling ominously and shaking down terrifying beams of light.

At that moment, all the Golden Crow powerhouses on Fire Mulberry Star trembled. Not one could endure such oppressive power, and all living beings across the entire planet collapsed to the ground.

They involuntarily prostrated themselves, quaking with fear.

"'Friend, what is the meaning of this?' A vast land of lava, covered in golden fire mulberry trees, lay beneath a floating palace. From it, an overwhelming Emperor's might surged forth, blocking the cauldron's formidable aura."

"'I expect you not to interfere when my disciple undergoes his tribulation!'"

"'This Emperor did not take action,' replied the Golden Crow Great Emperor."

Even as the reigning Great Emperor, his prestige was overshadowed, causing deep resentment throughout the Golden Crow clan. However, they had been ordered to avoid provocation and thus remained restrained.

Inwardly, they felt deeply indignant. They had never witnessed an era like this; whenever a Great Emperor emerged, who could contend? All corners of the world would offer tribute. Yet, in this age, an anomaly had appeared – not a Great Emperor, but revered by the world, enjoying the same glory.

The Golden Crow clan, from highest to lowest, felt both hatred and fury, but dared not voice it.

On the Undying Mountain Cliff, Ye Fan remained noncommittal, not pursuing whether the elder Golden Crow had intervened.

The Cauldron of All Things Mother Qi then flew away, heading straight for the Big Dipper Starfield.

The events naturally sent shockwaves through the universe's two supreme powers. This marked their first confrontation, and while many had anticipated a battle for five hundred years, it ultimately did not materialize.

"'The Sacred Body is too powerful; he has overshadowed the glory that rightfully belongs to the Monster Emperor!'"

Many privately remarked that existing in the same era as Ye Fan was truly unfortunate for those aiming to achieve emperorship. Even Great Emperors found themselves in an awkward position, simply because he was too powerful.

"'Perhaps he can be called the strongest Sacred Body in history!'"

Who would dare to wield such might over a Great Emperor? No one like that had ever existed. Yet Ye Fan intimidated the reigning Great Emperor in this manner. Throughout history, had there ever been a time when one who had just achieved enlightenment wasn't the sole supreme being in the cosmos?

The Cauldron of All Things Mother Qi surged through vast star rivers, descending upon the Big Dipper Starfield. The world trembled at its arrival, as this cauldron represented Ye Fan himself, now manifesting with divine might as boundless as the sea.

All beings trembled, and some felt a pang of melancholy. The Sacred Body, who once competed alongside them in the same era, was now vastly superior, possessing a might comparable to ancient Great Emperors. His true body hadn't even appeared; yet with a single artifact unleashed, the world was subdued!

Everyone's eyes widened in astonishment as they watched the cauldron charge directly towards the Immortal Mausoleum, its power erupting, with a vast sea of chaos descending as if to annihilate the location.

Subsequently, the cauldron proceeded to the Divine Ruins, the Primordial Ancient Mine, and other locations, unleashing its power in a similar manner, appearing ready for war.

"This is... a warning to the life restricted zones!"

Throughout the cosmos, the elderly patriarchs of all major powerful races found their mouths dry, utterly stunned.

"'How incredibly formidable is the Human Sacred Body?!' someone from outside softly sighed."

Cold snorts emanated from the restricted zones, but none emerged to challenge him.

The Cauldron of All Things Mother Qi hovered above the Big Dipper, deterring everything in the region, patrolling majestically. Its overwhelming presence left all races in the universe wide-eyed and inwardly murmuring.

No one attacked Ye Tong again. He struggled fiercely, yearning to leap and enter the Great Emperor realm.

Ultimately, he managed to partially enter, but found himself unable to cross another half-step. The lightning then ceased, prompting a sigh from him.

Following this incident, all races across the universe were astounded. Ye Fan's overwhelming demonstration of power and Ye Tong's emergence instilled a profound sense that divine might was not to be trifled with.

"'Master, can you still not become an Emperor?' Little Song asked."

Several individuals, all of the younger generation, approached the black mountain cliff. Ye Fan shook his head and replied, "'Someone achieved enlightenment before me. I have been searching for a method to dismantle that.'"

"'I believe Master can defeat that Golden Crow. Although he is powerful, I am certain Master is even stronger!' declared the belligerent Yang Xi."

"'He is not the most terrifying,' Ye Fan said, pointing to the sky. 'What is truly unfathomable is this universe itself. Currently, one Dao reigns supreme, with myriad Daos converging, making it almost impregnable.'"

For five hundred years, Ye Fan had not left the Undying Mountain, which deeply puzzled his disciples, along with Black Emperor, Dongfang Ye, and Li Tian. They had always believed he hadn't fully recovered from his injuries. Now, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, realizing he was likely contemplating a more profound path to enlightenment.

"'All of you, cultivate diligently and proceed with caution in every step,' Ye Fan finally stated."

This caused everyone's hearts to tighten. They felt he was issuing a warning. Was something about to happen? Doubt appeared on all their faces.

"'Master... is a great war about to begin?'"

"'Yes, the war against the restricted zones is about to begin!' Ye Fan's eyes gleamed as he gazed at the vast and profound galaxies."

"'A war against the restricted zones!?' Everyone was stunned, then their blood boiled, their veins pulsed, and they trembled with excitement."

Ye Fan had once outlined a grand battle plan for them. Was it finally about to begin? Everyone felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

"'It's not that I wish to incite conflict. For five hundred years, I have made deductions, perceiving a great crisis approaching. Ye Tong's tribulation further solidified my conviction: some are deeply afraid I will conquer the restricted zones one by one, and they are now preparing to act against me.'"

Everyone was stunned, and a chill ran down their spines.

Surely this isn't just one supreme being planning to make a move?

"'They have been waiting, hoping for a clash between me and the Golden Crow Great Emperor, to then deal with me. However, I have never given them that opportunity,' Ye Fan stated calmly."

"'Master, will this be very dangerous? I must quickly break through. When I achieve great completion, I will shake their Imperial Dao weapons with my bare hands!' Yang Xi declared, clenching his fists."

"'There's no need to worry; it's uncertain who will prevail,' Ye Fan reassured them. 'The current life restricted zones are not what they were tens of thousands of years ago. After the eras of Emperor ruthless, Void Emperor, and Wushi Emperor, the number of supreme beings has sharply dwindled. Our predecessors have already laid down vast battlefields, and following two tribulations for immortality, truly few supreme beings remain. In my lifetime, I will undoubtedly have the chance to clear them all!'"

Everyone trembled. To clear all life restricted zones? This sounded like a mere fable; no one in ancient times had ever accomplished such a feat.

"'Our predecessors shed imperial blood, sacrificed their lives, and ventured into the various forbidden lands, already laying a solid foundation. If I cannot clear them in my lifetime and leave them for future generations to resolve, then I would truly be letting down the departed Great Emperors!'"
