Friendly reminder: If you have any questions or suggestions, you can ask them on Brother Dong's Weibo. He reads all of them.

Correction: The "Lineage Secret" of the Old Madman was written incorrectly in the previous chapter and has now been corrected.

That person's research into the Reincarnation Seal was unprecedented and unmatched. On this path, they could be called the progenitor, capable of complete control over those within the Corpse Dao.

As long as you embark on the Corpse Path, even if you form a Reincarnation Seal and bid farewell to the past, you will certainly not be their opponent and are destined to be suppressed.

Furthermore, legend has it that this person can manipulate the Reincarnation Seal, which was the greatest secret they uncovered through a lifetime of research!

The Corpse Emperor soared upwards, not to attack Duan De, but to escape from the area, desperately wanting to get away from this vast battlefield.

As a majestic Emperor-level expert, he did not want to be controlled. He feared that person, who championed reincarnation, would take him as a battle slave!

But being in the midst of battle, how could it be so easy? Especially under Ye Fan's attack, fleeing in such terror naturally brought immense danger.

He was truly startled, muttering in a low roar, "Underworld Venerable... he's back!"

Everyone was stunned. Wasn't that the Underworld Emperor? This name was too ancient, its origins astonishing. He was the progenitor of the Underworld lineage, the true founder of this path. It was said that he and Emperor Zun were both teacher and friend, making him one of the most mysterious figures of ancient times.

"Boom!"

Ye Fan was like a god of slaughter, cold lightning flashing from his eyes as they opened and closed. He didn't hesitate, indifferent and ruthless. He rose into the air, his "Lineage Secret" activated to its extreme, and the river of time seemed to stop for him. He instantly arrived, launching a punch forward with overwhelming power that tore through the mythical battlefield.

With a "thud," the Corpse Emperor's back was pierced through, front to back, bleeding profusely and looking extremely gruesome.

He was disoriented, having just been terrified and wanting only to leave, which resulted in him taking a fierce blow. At this moment, his eyes flared, as if he had suddenly calmed down. He roared, "At worst, I'll cut myself again!"

He roared skyward, and a pure white halo flew out from within him. It was the renowned Reincarnation Seal, incredibly sacred, yet he had abandoned it.

He didn't fear Ye Fan; instead, he feared the Underworld Emperor, afraid of him controlling his life and death. Now, severely injured, he seemed to have gone all out, ready to fight to the bitter end.

Everyone was astonished. The Reincarnation Seal was terrifying, more astonishing than even an Emperor's artifact. It whistled eerily as it plummeted towards Ye Fan, intending to encircle him.

Outwardly, it appeared incredibly sacred, but it sent shivers down one's spine, as if facing the entire Underworld, a chilling cold permeating one's very bones.

What was most terrifying was its unparalleled power. At that moment, divine energy sought to enter Ye Fan's body, restrain him, and then destroy him. Ye Fan was fearless; his anomaly spread out, sealing off this heaven and earth. Then, with his left hand, he formed the "Cosmos Seal" to control time, and with his right, he unleashed the "Heavenly Emperor's Fist," striking down all obstacles.

Suddenly, Xiao Song let out a soft cry, "Master, catch the sword!" It must be said, Xiao Song's methods were extraordinary. He retrieved an immortal sword from the incomplete First Killing Formation and passed it to Ye Fan. It flowed with a faint bloody light and boundless killing intent. Ye Fan's heart stirred; he withdrew his left hand's "Cosmos Seal," grabbed the sword, and slashed forward. No one had expected that when this sword met the Reincarnation Seal, it would erupt with waves of chanting, bringing the supreme mysteries of the "Sutra of Delivering People" to full display. This left everyone dumbfounded.

After the sacred Reincarnation Seal descended, it was blocked by the blood-colored immortal sword, which also cut a terrifying gap in it, threatening to sever it.

"It specifically counters corpse calamities!"

At the same time, Ye Fan's Heavenly Emperor's Fist, anomaly, and other techniques all landed. He also shook the sword once more. With all these methods unleashed, the Reincarnation Seal was shattered, transforming into sacred light that dissipated. There was a sinister quality within the sacredness, and corpse qi within the light, creating a contradictory sensation. The Corpse Emperor screamed, his vital energy draining away the moment he lost the Reincarnation Seal.

He was no longer worried about being controlled by the Underworld Emperor, but he had fallen into the most perilous situation. At this moment, he was certainly not as powerful as before, having lost his foundation.

"Whoosh!"

With just one punch, Ye Fan pierced through him. Then, he swung the long sword in his hand; a crimson light shot into the sky, and the unparalleled immortal sword decapitated the Corpse Emperor.

"Thud!"

The young old madman arrived, unleashing a punch that crushed the Corpse Emperor's head into paste with the immensely powerful Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, annihilating his primordial spirit.

Yang Xi also arrived, picked up the remains, and tossed them to the Human Devil, saying, "Old man, your prey. This will be crispy when roasted."

"Thud!"

The Human Devil didn't even look; he brought his staff down, shattering the remains into a mist of blood.

A dignified Emperor of his generation had died just like that. This was shocking, as everything happened too suddenly. Everyone turned to look at Duan De, wondering, "Is he the Underworld Emperor?"

"Boundless Heavenly Venerable, this humble Daoist is just passing by." Duan De felt guilty and somewhat inexplicable, especially with the Great Peng Emperor, Immortal Mother, and Spirit Emperor—the three supreme beings—glaring fiercely at him. Fearing they might suddenly attack him together, he wanted to sneak away unnoticed.

"Kill!"

Ye Fan did not stop; he pressed forward. Now was not the time for distraction. Even if there was something strange, it wasn't a time to halt. He pounced on the Great Peng Emperor.

The battle situation was completely rewritten. The three supreme beings were extremely passive, deeply unsettled. They stared at the unscrupulous Daoist in the air, thinking, "If he really is the Underworld Emperor, then we're in big trouble!"

It could be said that Ye Fan and his allies had seized the initiative and gained the upper hand.

On the other side, Xiao Song's progress was also smooth; he picked up another immortal sword, its crimson light swirling, shimmering, and its killing intent sweeping through a myriad of flowers.

"Dong..." A resonant bell chime echoed throughout the universe. A brilliant golden bell descended from the sky, emitting strands of Dao waves that spread across the mythical battlefield. The Golden Crow Great Emperor descended from the sky, joining the battle. He, too, had arrived, siding with Ye Fan and confronting the Immortal Mother.

In any case, this was a Great Emperor of the current era, someone whom any Forbidden Zone Supreme had to fear. This was an expert of their same rank, and most importantly, his qi and blood were abundant, far surpassing theirs.

"This battle has no suspense, does it?"

Everyone thought so. Ye Fan's side held the absolute initiative, and the outcome was already sealed.

"Boom!"

However, terrifying fluctuations emanated from the direction of Beidou, signaling the emergence of a Supreme Being with astonishing aura. This made everyone gasp. "Is the most terrifying divine war in history about to unfold?"

"This battle must not affect other life-bearing planets!" Zhang Bainian declared.

At the same moment, several more figures appeared, one of whom was astonishingly the Emperor, a person Zhang Bainian had once greatly respected and feared. He, too, watched Beidou, his aura surging.

"Are we truly going to fight a world-ending battle? We'll fight to the very end!"

The void cracked open, and another old monkey appeared—the Victorious Fighting Buddha had also arrived. It could be said that the lineup on the mythical battlefield was incredibly powerful; nearly half of the universe's strongest experts had gathered.

"Those who aren't afraid of death, come forth and perish! I will annihilate all of you!" Duan De roared, shaking the universe.

Yet, by all appearances, he seemed to be bluffing. Instead of scaring others, he himself was getting a bit spooked. Standing beside Pang Bo and the Black Emperor, one of his hands instinctively gripped the big black dog's tail tightly.

"Woof!" The Black Emperor turned and bit.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the most terrifying aura erupted. In the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone of the Beidou Star Domain, the Empress awakened, standing atop the firmament, looking down upon the major life forbidden zones.

From that moment on, all divine thoughts and auras probed by the other four forbidden zones were blocked and could no longer be sensed.

The most terrifying standoff occurred there: the Empress appeared in the sky, facing the four great forbidden zones alone, her black hair dancing, looking down upon the world with a truly supreme and unparalleled demeanor, magnificent beyond compare!

"Hahaha..." The Great Peng Emperor let out a tragic laugh. He was battling Ye Fan, laughing and coughing up blood, laughing until tears nearly streamed down his face. He said, "Waiting for eons, and this is the outcome? What a 'Golden Great Age'! Are all the life forbidden zones really going to end like this?"

He laughed maniacally, his voice hoarse, "Golden age... haha, I see it as the most tragic era. Not only will the forbidden zones end, but you yourselves will also fight until few remain. So many heroes, waiting for this era for what? Pathetic. I already see a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood!"

The Great Peng Emperor roared in sorrow, fighting Ye Fan desperately.

On the other side, the Golden Crow Great Emperor fiercely battled the Immortal Mother. As for the Spirit Emperor, his situation was the most tragic; he was surrounded by a group including the Human Devil, the monkey, and the young old madman, covered in blood and on the verge of falling.

"Clang!"

Xiao Song retrieved the fourth immortal sword. But at this moment, the formation diagram suddenly tore through the void and vanished.

This was an unexpected turn of events, and many were surprised, unsure why it happened. The most mysterious and terrifying killing formation diagram had once again left the human world.

Ye Fan was cold and ruthless. The more intense the battle became, the calmer he grew, like a true Heavenly Emperor reborn, invincible and striking heavy blows one after another.

"Boom!"

He sent the Great Peng Emperor flying with a single punch, a large amount of blood splattering. Before his opponent could regain stability, Ye Fan darted forward like a phantom and stomped down, shattering him.

This strike also caused the entire mythical battlefield to split apart.

The Peng Emperor roared in rage, reforming his true body into a golden roc. With a single wing strike, rivers of stars collapsed throughout the universe, and his golden feathers shone brilliantly, illuminating past and present.

This battle shook the heavens and earth, reverberating through the river of time, extremely tragic. Alas, a generation's Great Peng Emperor, no matter how powerful, ultimately fell at Ye Fan's feet.

"Hmph." Blood splattered as Ye Fan tore it apart. The massive body of the Peng Emperor crushed the universe. Its primordial spirit tried to flee, but it could not escape Ye Fan's supremely firm and invincible fist, and was shattered with a single blow.

Bathed in the Peng Emperor's blood, he was utterly cold, sweeping his gaze across the battlefield. He was like a demonic god, his disheveled hair matted with blood, walking forward step by step.

"Boom!"

Ye Fan swept out with a leg, kicking the Immortal Mother, who was battling the Golden Crow Great Emperor, away. She coughed up large amounts of blood, severely wounded. Then, the Golden Emperor Bell descended, shaking her body apart.

Afterwards, Ye Fan turned to another part of the battlefield without looking back, let out a great roar, and unleashed his strongest strike. It transformed into a scorching bolt of lightning that streaked across the sky, piercing through the Spirit Emperor's body, blood splashing thirty thousand feet high!

Ye Tong, Yang Xi, and others' attacks arrived, overwhelming the Spirit Emperor.

The battlefield fell silent. All four supreme beings had been slain; not one survived. Blood was everywhere, and the mythical battlefield was a scene of crimson.

In the distant sky, those who had not participated in the battle fell silent. Huang Xudao had already turned and left, knowing he was no match for Ye Fan.

Everyone else sighed. Ye Fan was an anomaly; though he had not yet become an Emperor, he already possessed the supreme demeanor to slay an unblemished Emperor-level expert!

"He is a unique one, the strongest Sacred Body in history."

"He... might become someone like Desolate Heavenly Emperor or Emperor Zun!"

By this moment, people clearly recognized his power and terrifying nature.

"This battle is over, Master. What do we do next?" Yang Xi asked excitedly. He was thrilled, his battle-blood boiling as it was his first time participating in such a grand war.

"The battle isn't over yet," Ye Fan said calmly, looking towards Beidou. "Since we've already made a move, we should go and level one or two forbidden zones!"
