51: Chapter 51 You're disgracing the Supreme Being!!!

"What are you doing?!" a Supreme wearing bronze armor with an even more ancient aura roared angrily. "A mere newly ascended Emperor has pushed you to this state? How shameful! You have completely disgraced the face of the Supreme!"

The nameless Supreme's face flushed red, filled with both shame and anger.

"Bastard!"

He roared, and the residual Imperial Dao Law within his body erupted fully; the blade wound on his chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But while healing, his aura also began to climb rapidly—he had chosen Ultimate Sublimation!

"I will kill you!"

Returning to the Peak of the Imperial Dao, the nameless Supreme bloomed with brilliant divine light, his entire being seemingly transforming into a burning sun, illuminating the depths of the entire Ancient Mine of Primordial Beginning!

He attacked again, this time unleashing a true Imperial Dao killing technique—with a clasp of his hands, the phantom of a towering divine mountain appeared in the Void Realm, its body carved with ancient runes, emitting a terrifying pressure that suppressed the ages!

"Suppress!"

The phantom of the divine mountain crashed down, and everywhere it passed, the Void Realm shattered inch by inch!

Nannan's expression was grave, but her eyes remained calm.

She unsheathed her blade again, Chaos Qi coiling around the blade, her Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art swallowing Domain fully activated, clashing head-on with the phantom of the divine mountain!

"Boom!!!"

The moment they collided, the entire Ancient Mine of Primordial Beginning trembled violently!

Black mist surged, the earth cracked, and even those ancient Supremes in slumber were disturbed, casting dissatisfied Divine Thoughts.

But what shocked the Supremes even more was that in this collision, Nannan still held the upper hand!

Although she was pushed back three steps and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, she had shattered the phantom of the divine mountain with a single strike!

And the nameless Supreme let out a muffled groan, his face turning even paler!

"This..."

The watching Supremes looked at each other, flashes of gravity in their eyes.

The combat power of the Ruthless Emperor was even more terrifying than they had anticipated!

...

Outside the Ancient Mine of Primordial Beginning, within a layer of the Void Realm.

Chu Tianjiao watched Nannan's duel with the nameless Supreme, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.

"This is bad," he suddenly said in a low voice.

"What's wrong, Teacher?" Xiao Shitou asked, puzzled. "Isn't Little Sister holding the upper hand? I don't think that Supreme is her match at all."

"That is exactly the problem," Chu Tianjiao sighed. "Before, when I fought those Supremes... I was holding back."

"Holding back?" Xiao Shitou was stunned. "Teacher, are you talking about... during your first life?"

"Yes," Chu Tianjiao nodded, a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes. "Back when I ascended as an Emperor with the Chaos Body, I discovered during my first fight with a Forbidden Zone Supreme that the combat power of the Chaos Body far exceeds those of the same tier. If I had gone all out, those Supremes wouldn't have lasted more than a few moves."

He paused and continued to explain: "But I had concerns at the time—if I appeared too strong, those Supremes might have been terrified, either collectively opting for Ultimate Sublimation to fight me to the death, or scattering and fleeing to the depths of the Universe. Either scenario would have been detrimental to my subsequent plans to clear out the Forbidden Zones."

"So..." Xiao Shitou understood. "Teacher, you deliberately suppressed your strength to give those Supremes the illusion that the Chaos Body is only slightly stronger than an ordinary Emperor, and not impossible to fight?"

"Exactly," Chu Tianjiao smiled bitterly. "Now it seems this 'illusion' has planted a hidden danger. Those Supremes' understanding of the Chaos Body is still stuck at the level where I was deliberately holding back. They have no idea how terrifying a true Chaos Body is when fully unleashed."

He looked toward the inside of the Ancient Mine of Primordial Beginning, where Nannan was fiercely battling the nameless Supreme who had used Ultimate Sublimation, having completely suppressed the opponent.

"Nannan is different. She doesn't have my concerns; she goes all out from the start. Those Supremes are simply no match for her," Chu Tianjiao said with a grave tone. "But if she continues to fight like this, those Supremes will soon realize that the true combat power of the Chaos Body far exceeds their understanding. When that happens, they might very well suspect... that I was deliberately holding back all those years ago."

"And once they develop such suspicions, they might further suspect..." Xiao Shitou continued, his expression changing as well, "suspect the truth of your 'fall' back then?"

"Correct," Chu Tianjiao nodded. "I 'faked my death' and laid out plans for five hundred years, all to lure out the Immortal Emperor while making preparations in the shadows. If everything is exposed because of this battle of Nannan's, then all my previous efforts will have been in vain."

He hesitated no longer and immediately made a decision.

"I will disguise myself as the Immortal Emperor to lure Nannan away, and you take the opportunity to return to the Undying Mountain," Chu Tianjiao said quickly. "Remember, do not reveal your identity; act as if you have never left."

"Yes, Teacher!" Xiao Shitou nodded heavily.

Chu Tianjiao said no more; he formed Seals with his hands, and Chaos Qi circulated around him, transforming into a hazy mist that concealed his true appearance.

At the same time, he began to simulate the unique aura emitted by the undying heavenly blade when the Immortal Emperor ambushed him back then—it was an ancient Dao rhythm belonging to the Immortal Phoenix lineage, mixed with a bizarre malevolence from bathing in Imperial blood.

A few breaths later, the aura around Chu Tianjiao was indistinguishable from that of the "ambusher" from back then.

He raised his hand and grasped into the void; a phantom of a blade, entirely condensed from Dao Laws and identical in appearance to the undying heavenly blade, emerged in his palm.

"Go!"

Chu Tianjiao slashed gently toward the interior of the Ancient Mine of Primordial Beginning.

...

In the depths of the Ancient Mine of Primordial Beginning.

Nannan's battle with the nameless Supreme had reached a white-hot intensity.

After several rounds of combat, the initial shock in Nannan's heart had faded, replaced by a realization—these Supremes were not as strong as she had imagined.

Their Imperial Dao Laws were incomplete, and although their combat experience was rich, their reactions had become sluggish due to their long slumber.

Most importantly, their "Dao Heart" had decayed—having self-slashed to survive, they had long since lost the fearlessness and spirit an Emperor should possess.

"Not much stronger than Emperor Yuhua," Nannan judged internally. "If it's one-on-one, I am confident I can behead him within a hundred moves."

Her gaze swept over the other seven awakened Supremes nearby, and she quickly calculated: "Even if they all attacked together, I am confident I could retreat unscathed. But if those ancient Supremes currently in slumber also awaken..."

Just as she was considering her next move, a sudden change occurred!

"Shhh!!!"

A brilliant blade light tore through the black mist of the Ancient Mine of Primordial Beginning, slashing in from the outside, its speed reaching the extreme, aimed directly at—the nameless Supreme who was fiercely battling Nannan!

The nameless Supreme had no time to react; the blade light had already arrived!

"Pfft!"

The blade light swept across his neck, and a head flew high into the air! The blade light's momentum remained undiminished, sweeping up the head and the headless body, transforming into a stream of light that instantly flew out of the Ancient Mine of Primordial Beginning!

The entire process happened in the blink of an eye!

It was only after the head was swept away that the nameless Supreme's remaining Primordial Spirit let out a piercing shriek: "Ah!!!"

But the shrieking stopped abruptly—his head and body had already been completely Sealed and suppressed by that blade light!

"!!!"

Inside the Ancient Mine of Primordial Beginning, there was deathly silence.
