Chapter 640: Two Emperors Meet?

The lake water rustled as a man in a green robe stepped ashore, one slow, majestic step at a time. He was incredibly imposing, and in the profound depths of his eyes, there was the vision of creation, the very birth of the universe.

A mottled piece of green bronze hung above his head, accompanying him ashore as he approached the crowd.

Every one of his movements was utterly natural, devoid of oppressive might or a trembling aura, as if he were an eternal immortal body.

Yet, everyone felt an overwhelming urge to prostrate themselves, to bow down and worship him as if he were a deity.

One by one, people began to kneel. This was not due to force or coercion; rather, it stemmed from a profound and heartfelt devotion within each of them.

It was an atmosphere truly inexplicable: sacred yet tranquil, solemn yet strange. Even the leaders of various sects felt an ethereal emptiness in their hearts, continuously kowtowing and worshipping as if before a deity.

"You..." On the ancient war chariot, the small figure, whose body was broken into three pieces and could not reassemble, enveloped by one hundred and eight divine rings, asked tremblingly, "Who are you?"

The newcomer was utterly terrifying, filling him with genuine fear. A mere glance from this being had shattered his form. Such might was unprecedented and unheard of.

It was known that he had slain sect leaders and possessed boundless magic power, yet before this majestic man, he was less than an ant, utterly without resistance.

"Noisy!" Pang Bo interjected, helping the Azure Emperor chastise the being. Facing the Demon Emperor, he felt a deep sense of kinship, and the Nine Cuts of the Demon Emperor circulated smoothly within him.

"How dare you..." The one-foot-tall being's eyebrows shot up, and two terrifying beams of light shot from its eyes.

"In front of the Azure Emperor, how dare you be so presumptuous?!" Pang Bo retorted loudly.

"You're asking for death!" The one-foot-tall being dared not show any resistance towards the green-robed Great Emperor, but it acted with supreme arrogance towards a cultivator like Pang Bo, preparing to strike.

His strength was terrifying and unmatched; killing a sect leader was as effortless as tearing a painting. People simply could not gauge how immensely powerful he was.

"Bang!"

The Demon Emperor merely took a step forward, without any offensive action. The one-foot-tall being shrieked, its one hundred and eight divine rings disintegrated, and then its body turned into light, completely evaporating.

What terrifying might was this? The leaders of all sects gasped in shock; some knelt on the ground, immobile with fear. A mere gesture, the aftershocks of a foot stomp, had extinguished a peerless master.

"The Azure Emperor has revived!"

"The eternally astonishing Demon Emperor has been reborn!"

People cried out in alarm, trembling uncontrollably. This news was overwhelmingly impactful; ten thousand years was but a flick of a finger, yet a Great Emperor, long thought dead, had actually reappeared in the world.

Moreover, he emerged in his original birthplace, still accompanied by a piece of green bronze. This was the most earth-shattering event, shaking heaven and earth; no one could remain calm.

"Why is this happening? The Azure Emperor's lifespan had withered; he had long since passed away. What exactly happened?"

"Are the ancient Great Emperors not truly dead? Can they return to the human world?"

"Incredible power! There's no way to contend with this in the human world; it transcends the realm of ultimate divine might!"

Everyone discussed animatedly, feeling a suffocating sensation in their souls. A living Great Emperor had reappeared, subverting many of their understandings that such a thing could actually happen.

"A living... Great Emperor!"

The foot-long small azure dragon, the half-foot-long crimson blood divine phoenix, the small Qilin pulling the chariot, and the eight small figures clearing the way in front — all rushed over.

Even if the Demon Lord, Divine Monk, Saint Lord, and Royal Lord had stood in their way, they would have been crushed into dust. These beings possessed an unstoppable and extremely powerful force.

However, facing the Azure Emperor, they appeared as insignificant as dust. When they were still several dozen feet from the majestic man in green, they evaporated one after another, completely vanishing.

Such a powerful group of beings, capable of killing everyone present, turned to ash before the Azure Emperor, who didn't even lift a finger. It was like something out of a fairy tale.

"The ancient Great Emperors are too terrifying; there's simply no way to gauge their cultivation!" people could only exclaim.

Not far away, a patch of crimson glow shimmered as the Third Generation Source Master and over a dozen red-haired monsters trembled, wanting to escape. The Demon Emperor's divine might chilled them to the bone.

However, after only a few steps, one red-haired creature after another collapsed, blocked by a divine force field.

The Azure Emperor walked step by step, his gaze unperturbed. A wisp of azure light emanated from him; wherever it passed, a series of sounds resonated, utterly peaceful. Over a dozen red-haired creatures were purified, their bodies emitting green smoke, and their crimson fur was completely incinerated.

"Ah..."

Painful screams echoed as over a dozen physical bodies turned to ash. One crimson beam of light after another shot out from within those bodies, attempting to flee into the sky.

"Whoosh!"

The sacred aura emanating from the Azure Emperor swept through like a mighty divine blade; all the crimson beams of light were severed, turning into ash and completely vanishing.

"Azure Emperor..." The Third Generation Source Master spoke for the first time, his words unclear, like a beast growling. Crimson light flickered in his eyes, exceptionally ferocious.

The Azure Emperor did not utter a word. He merely slowly raised his hand and extended a finger, and a beam of eternal light shot out, striking towards the human-shaped red-haired creature.

"Demon Emperor, you will pay the price..." A human-shaped crimson light shot up from the Source Master's crown.

However, all was in vain. The Azure Emperor's single finger represented eternity, omnipotence, and invincibility. As the azure finger-mark descended, the human-shaped crimson light instantly turned to ash.

Another terrifying being was destroyed. It could kill leaders of various sects as easily as slicing vegetables, but under the Azure Emperor's single finger, it was not even dust, possessing not a shred of strength to resist.

"Pop!"

All the red fur on the Third Generation Source Master's corpse vanished, revealing an ancient and shriveled physical body, completely devoid of any life fluctuation. His life had ended seventy thousand years ago.

Ye Fan's heart trembled. The Source Master's later years were too terrifying, and seeing this scene now, he still couldn't explain what had truly happened.

He stepped forward, wanting to bury the body of this ancestor, but many people scoffed coldly, and waves of killing intent permeated the air.

"The Immortal Elixir of Immortality is ours to share!" an old man growled in a low voice.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the Third Generation Source Master's corpse burst into four pieces, and a fist-sized divine elixir shot into the sky. It was more brilliant than the sun, blazing and magnificent, radiating an exceptionally heavy yang energy.

This was the Immortal Elixir of Immortality, born and nurtured within a Source Master's body, nourished by the ancient great dragons of the Qinling Mountains. It achieved a spark of true yang within the extreme yin, transforming into a precious elixir.

The Peacock King and the Crimson Dragon Daoist jointly wielded the Chaotic Azure Lotus, while the Great Xia Emperor had the Grand Sovereign Sword hovering above his head. All of them were wary; with the Demon Emperor reborn, none dared to openly use their ultimate imperial weapons, fearing to provoke his wrath.

They merely gave a slight tremor, and the Immortal Elixir of Immortality immediately split apart, breaking into dozens of pieces that flew in all directions like streaks of flowing rosy light.

The Demon Emperor did not spare a glance in this direction. He strolled forward, facing the ancient dragon lair, and in his eyes, countless stars revolved ceaselessly.

Many powerhouses immediately took action, sacrificing their life-bound magical artifacts to seize the legendary Immortal Elixir of Immortality. Not a single powerhouse could remain calm.

The sky was filled with flowing, dazzling colors, and a refreshing fragrance drifted down, making the entire Immortal Transformation Pool seem dreamlike and illusory. Light rained down like smoke, and many people directly collapsed onto the ground, intoxicated.

The more this happened, the more people realized the Third Generation Source Master's power. This ultimate yang divine elixir, cultivated for seventy thousand years, had seized the creation of heaven and earth, refined in the ancient dragon lair as a furnace.

Yet, such a powerful existence could not withstand the Azure Emperor's single finger; its spirit turned to ash, leaving behind only the physical body and the precious elixir.

Ye Fan, being the closest, summoned the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron, which, like a sky-swallowing treasure bottle, drew in three nail-sized, crystal-clear, agate-like fragments of the immortal elixir.

Other sect-leader-level figures also took action, contending with their life-bound magical artifacts. Each gained something, with the most fortunate receiving four fragments of the divine elixir, and all of them were incredibly excited.

For living-fossil-level figures, this was the supreme divine medicine for extending lifespan, impossible to find even with billions of gold. It could be said this was their very life.

"Clang!"

Someone attacked Ye Fan, as a Bagua mirror shone with a dazzling light, intending to immobilize the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron and snatch it away.

"Zheng," "Zheng"...

Like ten thousand swords clanging in unison, Ye Fan activated the power of the Immortal Pool, imprinting eighty-one Source Heaven runes in the void. True dragons flew out, sending the Bagua mirror flying.

"Whoosh!"

A more terrifying divine light shot forth as people from the Yin-Yang Sect made their move. An ancient scripture, imbued with the aura of life and death, shot out a beam of death light, striking towards Ye Fan.

These people not only wanted to snatch the fragments of the Immortal Elixir but also desired to take the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron, so they struck with heavy, decisive force.

Ye Fan let out a cold snort, displaying his Source Art to its fullest. The Immortal Transformation Pool steamed with colorful mists as beams of immortal light rose together, transforming into surging magical power for his use, attacking his opponents.

This was a brutal struggle. Ye Fan successfully retrieved the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron and the immortal elixirs without them being snatched away. At the same time, he sent a beam of immortal light into the glabella of a powerful figure, causing the person to let out a loud cry and fall backward.

"Puff!"

Far away, the struggle was also fierce. Two sect leaders died unnatural deaths, and several powerful figures were annihilated, body and spirit. To contend for the immortal elixir fragments, people fought with utter disregard for their lives.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a terrifying divine light burst forth from the ancient dragon lair. All those fighting stopped, and many collapsed weakly onto the ground.

An ancient dragon chariot rumbled out of the dragon lair. Upon it was a being emanating divine light from its entire body, of ordinary height, yet it made people tremble.

If not for the Azure Emperor standing before the Immortal Transformation Pool, most people would likely have already collapsed onto the ground. It was he who resisted that singular, supreme power, unmatched in heaven and earth.

The dragon chariot was ancient. The person wore a Great Emperor's crown and an ancient emperor's holy robe, as if a deity walking from the primordial lands.

The "Great Emperor" spoken of by the humanoid divine jade spirits had appeared!

"Another living... Great Emperor?!"

Many felt they were going mad. Ancient Great Emperors were like deities, existing only in legends and never seen by later generations. How could another one appear at this moment?

People could barely believe it. From ancient times until now, no era had ever seen two Great Emperors coexist. Why was this happening? It defied all reason.

"Divine beings rise and fall like the sands of the Ganges; I am the Immortal Emperor of Central State." The ancient dragon chariot was covered in blade marks and sword holes, inscribed with the imprints left by ancient great wars.

"A single lotus beneath the eternal azure sky," the Azure Emperor spoke calmly, the piece of green bronze quietly hovering above his head.

Impossible! The Immortal Transformation Pool must possess terrifying magic, causing people to hallucinate. Two Emperors could not possibly coexist in heaven and earth—this was the thought in the hearts of all sect leaders.

Yet, everything was so real. Even with various probing methods, the auras of two invincible beings could be sensed!

"Ancient Great Emperors, why have two appeared?" Even the living fossils were filled with doubt.

"So that's it, I understand now," the sickly old man muttered to himself.
