512: Chapter 512 The Heavenly Emperor (77)

Ye Yun's life Qi was fading.

Jiang Zhiyu knelt beside him, her hands pressed against his back, as she continuously poured in the emerald green life force of the Longevity Sacred Body.

Her cultivation level was insufficient, and since her Longevity Sacred Body had not yet reached Major Achievement, she could only barely hold onto his last breath in the face of such severe depletion within Ye Yun's body.

"How much longer?"

Great Emperor Chiyan stood at the port side of the flying boat, burning with anxiety.

Jiang Zhiyu bit her lip as the light from the emerald jade plaque in her hand grew brighter.

"Almost there. The coordinates are right ahead."

Emperor Xuanshui suddenly turned his head, his expression changing drastically.

"They are here."

Deep in the starry sky behind them, six auras erupted simultaneously.

Emperor-level giants.

Six of them.

"We cannot escape."

Emperor Xuanshui's voice was very calm.

Great Emperor Chiyan also quieted down.

The two looked at each other.

The flying boat suddenly accelerated, crashing into an independent space enveloped by chaotic turbulence.

In the very center of the space, an ancient stone gate ten thousand zhang high stood in the Void Realm.

The stone gate was pitch black, its surface engraved with dense Dao markings of life, emitting an extremely strong pressure.

"This is it!"

Jiang Zhiyu leaped up, clutching the emerald jade plaque, and rushed to the front of the stone gate.

She pressed the jade plaque onto the gate, fully activating the Bloodline Power of the Longevity Sacred Body.

Hum.

The Dao markings on the stone gate lit up.

But only a small part lit up.

The entire gate remained motionless.

Jiang Zhiyu's face turned pale.

"The Seal on the gate is too strong; my Bloodline Power is insufficient. It will take at least several hours to fully activate it."

Several hours.

They did not have several hours.

Boom!

The barrier of the independent space was cracked by a pitch-black giant palm from the outside.

The six giants had arrived.

The barrier trembled violently under the joint attack of the six giants, and cracks spread rapidly.

It would not last long.

"Alliance Leader."

Great Emperor Chiyan spoke.

He did not look at Ye Yun, but at the shattering starry sky outside.

His voice was very calm, so calm that it did not sound like him.

"I have lived for more than half my life; the first half was spent competing, and the second half fighting and killing. I have not done anything proper."

"Following the Alliance Leader for these past few hundred years is the most decent thing I have ever done in my life."

"Senior Chi Yan—"

"Don't."

Great Emperor Chiyan raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Do not say those useless things."

He patted his chest, and the Origin of the Emperor Dao began to burn violently within him.

"This life of mine is worth it."

He looked at Emperor Xuanshui.

Emperor Xuanshui nodded.

There were no extra words.

The two turned around at the same time, facing the collapsing space barrier.

"Wait for the day you rule the world."

Great Emperor Chiyan's voice came from the front, carrying a smile.

"Remember to pour a few more bowls of good wine on my grave."

Emperor Xuanshui did not look back, just calmly added a sentence.

"I do not drink alcohol. Clear tea will suffice."

After speaking, both of them moved at the same time.

Emperor Xuanshui attacked first.

His body turned into an ocean of Law in an instant, and the ice-blue Law of Water flooded the sky, filling the entire space.

The six fallen giants had just torn through the barrier and rushed in, only to be trapped by this ocean of Law.

"A mere ordinary Great Emperor dares to stop me!"

A giant roared and smashed the Law of Water in front of him with a punch.

But more Laws of Water surged from all directions, one after another, tirelessly.

Emperor Xuanshui was burning everything.

His body began to become transparent.

Starting from his feet, it dissipated inch by inch upwards.

"Chi Yan."

Emperor Xuanshui's voice was already very illusory, as if it came from a very far place.

"It is up to you."

Great Emperor Chiyan did not look back.

His body turned into a sun.

Flames wrapped around him, and the Origin of the Emperor Dao was compressed to the extreme at this moment.

He did not attack the six giants.

He turned around.

Facing the stone gate.

He took a step forward.

Bang!

Great Emperor Chiyan slammed all the remaining energy from himself and the self-detonation of Emperor Xuanshui onto the loose Seal of the stone gate.

Boom!

The stone gate shook.

The Dao markings on the Seal flickered violently.

A crack appeared.

Great Emperor Chiyan's figure began to dissipate.

The light of the flame sun was fading rapidly.

"Alliance Leader—"

"Live! You are the hope of the entire Three Thousand Dao Provinces!"

Emperor Xuanshui's ocean of Law completely collapsed.

Great Emperor Chiyan's flame sun burned out.

The figures of the two Great Emperors turned into dust of light in this cold starry sky at the same time.

The six fallen giants broke free from the shackles and roared as they rushed towards the stone gate.

Ye Yun was filled with grief and indignation, but he did not hesitate.

He grabbed Jiang Zhiyu and rushed towards the crack that was closing rapidly.

Just as they were about to rush into the crack, and at the critical moment when the killing moves of the six giants were about to fall upon them.

Hum!

Behind the stone gate, a force of life surged out.

The emerald green light, like a giant palm, scooped them up gently, pulling Ye Yun, Jiang Zhiyu, and those two strands of light dust that were about to dissipate—the remaining Emperor Dao Origin of Chi Yan and Xuan Shui—into the stone gate.

At the same time, the killing moves of the six giants slammed into that emerald green light.

The light was not damaged in the slightest.

The stone gate closed with a bang.

The six giants stood in front of the closed stone gate, their faces livid.

They tentatively slapped out a palm.

The stone gate remained motionless.

The six joined forces and launched an all-out attack.

Not even a crack appeared on the stone gate.

They could not get in.

And this independent space, the moment the stone gate closed, also underwent a change.

The entrance to the space disappeared.

The outside passage was completely erased by the Supreme power.

The six giants were trapped in this independent space that had lost its exit.

They could not enter the stone gate, nor could they get out.

The six fallen giants looked at each other.

...

Inside the stone gate.

Ye Yun knelt on the ground.

He did not look at the surrounding environment.

His eyes were fixed on the two weak, about-to-dissipate specks of light beside him.

Those were the remaining Emperor Dao Origin of Great Emperor Chiyan and Emperor Xuanshui.

It was that Supreme power of the Longevity Sacred Body that pulled them back from the edge of annihilation at the last moment.

They were not dead.

But they only had one last breath left.

The emerald green life force wrapped around the two specks of light, repairing their Emperor Dao Foundation, which was on the verge of collapse, at a slow speed.

Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his head.

Inside the Secret Realm was a vibrant land of Immortal Plants.

Immortal Plants and spirit flowers were everywhere, spirit springs flowed, and ancient trees towered.

And in the very center of this land, an ancient divine tree stood between heaven and earth.

The divine tree was immeasurably high, its canopy covering the entire sky, and every leaf emitted the radiance of the Dao of life.

Under the tree, remains emitting Supreme life aura sat cross-legged.

Supreme Longevity Sacred Body.

The remains of the first Heavenly Emperor of the Southern Heavenly Court.

Just as Ye Yun stepped into this place.

The fifth sacred bone in his chest, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly vibrated.

Wood sacred bone.

It resonated violently with that ancient divine tree.

Emerald green Dao markings of life emerged continuously on the surface of the sacred bone, clearer and stronger than ever before.

Ye Yun's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The remains moved.

In the eyes of that Supreme Longevity Sacred Body, two dots of emerald green faint light lit up.

It was the remaining will awakening.

It felt the same Longevity Sacred Body Bloodline on Jiang Zhiyu.

But what shocked it even more was Ye Yun.

An existence carrying a Major Achievement Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, with a Five Elements cycle about to reach Perfection in his body.

This kind of Foundation has never existed throughout the ages.

Emerald green light erupted from the remains, turning into two torrents of life Origin.

One rushed towards Jiang Zhiyu.

One rushed towards Ye Yun.

The two bodies were wrapped in huge emerald green cocoons of light.

...

Two thousand years.

In the Secret Realm, time flowed.

The life force of the ancient divine tree nourished the two cocoons of light every moment.

The remaining Origins of Great Emperor Chiyan and Emperor Xuanshui also gradually stabilized under the slow repair of the Supreme life force.

After a long sleep, their consciousness finally awakened.

They found themselves lying under the divine tree, and although their Emperor Dao Origins had suffered heavy losses, their lives were safe.

For the two thousand years after waking up, they silently guarded beside the two cocoons of light.

Protector.

Day after day, year after year.

Ye Yun's cocoon of light was the first to change.

Ye Yun slowly opened his eyes.

His aura was completely different from two thousand years ago.

The depleted life Origin had not only fully recovered but was even more majestic than before.

The golden Qi and blood of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body surged in his body like a great river, and every inch of flesh and blood contained terrifying power.

He looked inside himself.

Nine Lotuses.

And the Foundation of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was even more solid to an extreme point.

What shocked him even more was the change in his chest.

Wood sacred bone.

The emerald green Dao markings of life were clear and fully formed on the surface of the bone.

The fifth sacred bone was successfully nurtured.

Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.

Five sacred bones, all in place.

Ye Yun clenched his fists.

He could feel the subtle resonance between the five sacred bones: Gold generates Water, Water generates Wood, Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, and Earth generates Gold.

Five Elements generating each other, circulating endlessly.

Only the last step was missing.

Great Emperor Chiyan and Emperor Xuanshui looked at him, their eyes full of gratification.

"Alliance Leader..."

"Two Seniors, you have worked hard."

Ye Yun looked at their faces, which were haggard but spirited, and felt a warmth in his heart.

Just at this moment, the other cocoon of light also shattered.

Jiang Zhiyu walked out of the emerald green light.

Her aura had changed drastically.

The emerald green divine radiance of the Longevity Sacred Body surrounded her whole body, vast and boundless.

Major Achievement.

The Longevity Sacred Body had reached Major Achievement.

Not only that, her cultivation level had jumped directly from Quasi-Emperor to Emperor Realm.

First Heaven of the Emperor Realm.

Jiang Zhiyu had become an Emperor.

"Congratulations."

Ye Yun nodded.

"Same to you."

As soon as the words fell.

Hum!

The five sacred bones in Ye Yun's chest vibrated violently at the same time.

That vibration was different from any previous time.

Five different attributes of power surged violently in his body: gold, emerald green, blue-black, red-gold, and earthy yellow; five rays of light intertwining into a vortex.

The Five Elements sacred bones, after all taking shape at the same time, began to spontaneously fuse.

Ye Yun's body suddenly stiffened.

Before his eyes, fragments of insight into the Supreme Five Elements Saint Body of the North Sea Heavenly Emperor Ji Fan flashed by.

Five Elements becoming one.

It was not something he actively guided.

It was that once all five sacred bones were present, they instinctively moved towards unity.

A powerful power of transformation erupted within him.

Ye Yun's body was once again enveloped in golden light.

He sat down cross-legged, fully guiding this transformation.

Great Emperor Chiyan and Emperor Xuanshui looked at each other.

"This... what is happening again?"

Jiang Zhiyu looked at the five-colored light on Ye Yun, her expression shocked.

"It is the Five Elements becoming one..."

"Could it be..."
