289: Chapter 289 Immortal Corpse, Has the Heavenly Emperor grown stronger again?

Not to mention the people of the Dao Xuan Realm, even those from the Origin Realm were stunned.

Over the years, thanks to the Heavenly Emperor, they had seen their fair share of the world.

The Heavenly Emperor suppressing the Forbidden Zones, the Heavenly Emperor slaying an Immortal, the appearance of the nine dragons pulling the coffin—which of these wasn't a major event?

But seeing over a hundred Forbidden Zone Supreme Beings mobilizing simultaneously still left them shell-shocked; the sight was simply too terrifying and rare.

“My goodness, there are actually that many Forbidden Zone Supreme Beings?”

“I knew there were many before, but I didn't expect this many...”

“Over a hundred! Every single one was an existence that dominated an era, and now they've all come out together. It's terrifying. This must be the first time since the Mythological Era, right?”

“Yeah, definitely the first time. But if they all started a Dark Turmoil together...”

Someone shuddered, not daring to finish that thought.

In past Dark Turmoils, just one or two Supremes coming out to hunt was enough to cause devastation.

If over a hundred Supremes launched one at once, would the living beings of the Origin Realm have any hope of survival? What world could withstand such a catastrophe?

“Luckily, we have the Heavenly Emperor.”

“Yes, thank goodness for the Heavenly Emperor.”

“Look at those Supremes, how obedient they are. With just a glance from the Heavenly Emperor, they all came out to work honestly.”

Someone remarked with deep emotion.

Those Supremes were scattered across both realms; some were stabilizing the Void Realm, some were guiding the Great Dao, and others were repairing unstable cracks.

Every single one of them was working with utmost diligence!

“In the past, who would have dared to imagine this? The Forbidden Zone Supreme Beings used to awe the entire heavens.”

“And now? They've become laborers. Only the Heavenly Emperor could achieve such an impossible feat.”

The crowds discussed and laughed, an indescribable feeling welling up in their hearts.

Relief and pride!

In the starry sky, Jiang Hao withdrew his gaze.

He looked at the busy Supremes and nodded slightly.

Not bad, they are all quite conscientious.

As members of the Origin Realm, you Supremes have enjoyed so many benefits and welfare from this world. How could it be possible for you to just sleep and enjoy yourselves without working?

Fortunately, these Supremes were very sensible. Without Jiang Hao needing to say a word, they understood and took action.

However, this was also because Jiang Hao had trained them well over the years, which is why these Supremes were so well-behaved.

Jiang Hao raised his hand, and a corpse manifested before him.

It was the corpse of An Ming.

Although the body was dead, it still emitted a faint immortal light.

Every inch of flesh and blood contained complete Immortal Dao Laws.

Those Laws were slowly circulating, as if they might awaken at any moment.

The corpse of a True Immortal is a Treasure Trove.

A complete True immortal corpse, if given enough Opportunity, could evolve into a Great World on its own.

The Immortal Dao Laws, life essence, and Origin power within are supplements for both Cultivators and worlds—and potent ones at that!

The moment An Ming's corpse appeared, the entire Origin Realm fell silent, everyone stunned.

Many in the Origin Realm were very familiar with this fluctuation.

They had felt it once before.

It was the fluctuation of an Immortal.

On Ziwei Star, atop a mountain peak in the Dao Seeking Sect, an old Quasi-Emperor was looking up at the starry sky, contributing his strength to maintain the fluctuations caused by the world's evolution.

When that fluctuation reached him, his whole body stiffened, and he nearly fell off the peak.

“This is the aura of an Immortal... the fluctuation of an Immortal again?”

“No, wait, this aura... this Immortal is dead? It's a corpse! Did the Heavenly Emperor kill another Immortal?”

His mouth hung open in shock, at a loss for words.

Across the heavens of the Origin Realm, countless Cultivators widened their eyes, staring at the floating corpse in the starry sky.

“No way, an immortal corpse?”

“The Heavenly Emperor... killed another Immortal?”

“It seems to be true. It really is an immortal corpse, and a fresh one at that.”

“...”

After a brief silence, the entire Origin Realm erupted into a frenzy.

“Another Immortal! The Heavenly Emperor killed another Immortal!”

“My God, how long has it been? The Heavenly Emperor slew an Immortal again? Since when were Immortals so easy to kill?”

“Right, and where did this Immortal come from? Is it from that Dao Xuan Realm?”

“Must be. The Heavenly Emperor's trip to the Dao Xuan Realm this time might have been specifically to kill this Immortal!”

“Did you feel it? The aura of this corpse is even stronger than the last one!”

“Now that you mention it, this Immortal looks quite similar to that True Immortal named An Qiong from last time. The aura is similar, the appearance is similar... could these two be related?”

“It's highly possible. Do you think they might be father and son, or grandfather and grandson?”

“Huh? If that's the case, their whole family was killed by the Heavenly Emperor? What great luck they have!”

“Truly great luck. Dying at the hands of the Heavenly Emperor is their honor.”

“Well killed! To dare run wild in our Origin Realm, kill his whole family!”

“Speaking of which, I feel like this one is even stronger.”

“Nonsense, this is the elder one, the last one was the younger one! Of course this one is stronger.”

Countless people were so excited they became incoherent.

The last time an Immortal was slain, it had already left them speechless with shock.

To kill another one now, and by the looks of it, a stronger one than before!

Some jumped for joy; killing another Immortal meant the Heavenly Emperor's strength had improved again, making everyone safer.

And having an immortal corpse would bring many benefits to the world's evolution, benefits they would all enjoy. How could they not be delighted?

The Supremes were also staring intently at that corpse. Their vision was far more acute than that of ordinary people.

With one look, they discerned the relationship between this corpse and the True Immortal named An Qiong from before.

The source of the aura was the same, the source of the Laws was the same, and even their appearances were similar.

They were definitely relatives.

Moreover, this one was much stronger than the last. The residual Immortal Dao Laws within the corpse emitted even more powerful fluctuations.

Just lying there motionless, it caused one's heart to palpitate.

“Another True Immortal...”

A Supreme murmured.

“And stronger than the last one. Yet even so, he still died. Truly terrifying.”

“That's not the scariest part. The scariest part is that Chaos and the others don't have a single wound on them.”

At this, all the Supremes fell silent.

Killing an Immortal without taking a single wound.

What kind of concept was that?

It meant the battle wasn't a narrow victory, but an overwhelming advantage.

This old Immortal was stronger than the last, yet he couldn't even manage to wound Chaos and his companions.

“When Chaos fought that True Immortal An Qiong last time, he was still injured.”

A Supreme sighed, “This time he faced a stronger one, but didn't take a single hit. This...”

“This means Chaos has become stronger again, and by a lot.”

“Yes, he's grown stronger once more.”

“Truly frightening,” another Supreme remarked. “This fellow Chaos really seems to have no Bottleneck and no upper limit. He just keeps getting stronger and stronger.”

“Indeed. Without a doubt, Chaos can be considered the most brilliant person in the Origin Realm throughout the ages, right?”

All the Supremes nodded, agreeing with this view.

Whether it was the Dao Venerable, the Nether Venerable, or the Eastern Emperor, the performance of Heavenly Emperor Jiang Hao had surpassed all these peerless figures who were once the most brilliant.

...

Jiang Hao gave a gentle push.

An Ming's corpse turned into a streak of light, sinking into the two merging realms.

Boom!

Instantly, the entire world lit up, emitting various rays of light. Immortal light flew everywhere, and Dao Laws boiled.

The light was incredibly powerful, illuminating all directions.

Within the light, everyone felt a vigorous surge of vitality rising.

Before long, Spiritual Qi began to gather in places that were originally barren.

Withered vegetation began to sprout anew. Rivers that had run dry began to flow with water.

The world was evolving.

The Great Dao was being perfected.

The Origin was growing stronger.
