83: Chapter 83 Ultimate Sublimation! Let's Fight!

"Tea...cher..."

Xiao Nannan appeared from behind Chu Tianjiao with a mischievous grin, her fair arms instantly wrapping around his waist like iron bands.

"This time, let's see how you run."

Xiao Nannan spoke slyly, and before Chu Tianjiao could struggle, she directly dragged him toward her room.

"Nannan! Let go! The Willow Deity is still inside!" Chu Tianjiao called for help in vain, unable to break free from her strength.

Inside the room, the Willow Deity watched this scene quietly. Her fingertips moved slightly, and the Laws of the Immortal King faintly circulated around her body, as if she were about to intervene.

But after a moment's hesitation, she ultimately withdrew her hand, a trace of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

Constant suppression would only make Xiao Nannan more obsessed; she might as well let it be.

Chu Tianjiao was dragged along stumbling, cursing the Ancient Kirin Emperor thousands of times in his heart: It's all because of you, you bastard! You just had to look for me from the Willow Deity's room, causing me to be caught by Nannan!

With a "bang," the door was slammed shut, completely cutting off Chu Tianjiao's wails.

...

On the other side, the Ancient Kirin Emperor, who had just left the Undying Mountain, suddenly sneezed loudly for no reason.

"Strange?" He frowned and muttered in confusion, "Which grandson is talking behind my back?"

The Ancient Kirin Emperor shook his head and thought no more of it. The auspicious qi around him surged as he transformed into a streak of golden light, flying straight back to the Ancient Mine of Primordial Beginning.

After arriving at the Ancient Mine of Primordial Beginning, he ignored the hidden, probing gazes of the various Supremes in the mineral vein and went straight back to his place of dormancy.

Without the slightest hesitation, he moved and sealed himself within the Immortal Source once again. His aura instantly withdrew, returning to silence.

Seeing this, the other Supremes were filled with doubt, yet no one took the initiative to ask.

After all, every Supreme who could slash their own Dao foundation to flee into a restricted zone had their own secrets, and no one would meddle in others' business.

Someone thought to themselves: He took two of his progeny to the Undying Mountain; why did he return alone and leave them there?

But despite their doubts, no one dared to investigate further—the Ancient Kirin Emperor's strength was enough to intimidate everyone present.

Perhaps because the Ancient Kirin Emperor's emergence and return to dormancy were so peaceful, the atmosphere within the restricted zone, which had been stagnant to the extreme, eased slightly.

But this relief was only on the surface.

Within the heart of every Supreme lay an uncontrollable thought—to devour their own kind, seize their Origin, live out a second life, and break free from the shackles of longevity.

They were all waiting—waiting for someone to make the first move, waiting for an opportunity to reap the benefits as a bystander.

Meanwhile, the Ancient Kirin Emperor, sealed within the Immortal Source, was perfectly conscious.

With his eyes closed, he repeatedly rehearsed his plan in his mind—in one month, he would personally detonate the bomb buried in the hearts of all the Supremes, letting this dormant conspiracy erupt completely.

As the days passed, the Big Dipper Astral Region remained peaceful, but the undercurrents deep within the Ancient Mine of Primordial Beginning grew increasingly turbulent.

Soon, the one-month deadline arrived.

Within the Immortal Source, the Ancient Kirin Emperor slowly opened his eyes. Two sharp rays of light pierced through the barrier of the Immortal Source, locking onto the direction of an Nameless Supreme deep within the mineral vein.

At this moment, the other Supremes were still in slumber, completely unaware that danger was descending.

Without any hesitation, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the Ancient Kirin Emperor's eyes as the power within him instantly detonated.

Boom!!!

A world-shaking explosion resounded through the Ancient Mine of Primordial Beginning. The Immortal Source sealing him instantly shattered, with countless fragments flying in all directions.

A youthful figure sped out, holding the kirin staff and treading with Kirin Steps. With Kirin auspicious qi surging around him, it was indeed the Ancient Kirin Emperor, restored to his Peak state.

His speed was extreme, reaching the Nameless Supreme's Immortal Source almost instantly.

Without any superfluous words, the Ancient Kirin Emperor poured all the magic power and Origin within his body into the kirin staff.

"Die!"

With a low shout, the kirin staff smashed down toward that Immortal Source with world-destroying power.

Crack—

The crisp sound of the Immortal Source shattering was extremely ear-piercing. The Nameless Supreme was startled awake by the loud noise, and as soon as his consciousness recovered, he felt a fatal crisis.

"No!!!" he let out a desperate roar, straining with all his might to break free from the shackles of the Immortal Source.

But it was too late.

The Ancient Kirin Emperor had planned this sneak attack, and his strength far exceeded the other's. This strike was steady, accurate, and ruthless, leaving no chance for survival.

The Immortal Source completely crumbled, and the Nameless Supreme's body tumbled out. His Origin dissipated, his blood flowed backward, and his life force vanished at a visible rate.

A rain of blood fell from the sky, and the Great Dao wailed incessantly, announcing the fall of a Supreme at the Peak of the human path.

The other Supremes were completely startled awake by the loud noise and broke out of their Immortal Sources one after another. When they saw the scene before them, everyone froze.

The Ancient Kirin Emperor had actually launched a sneak attack and killed a Supreme of the same rank!

Sharp gazes locked onto the Ancient Kirin Emperor—there was shock, doubt, and even hidden killing intent. The atmosphere in the air once again became stagnant and dangerous.

Holding the kirin staff, the Ancient Kirin Emperor stood in the rain of blood, his face showing no emotion as his gaze slowly swept over every Supreme present.

"Everyone, there's no need to hide like this anymore." His voice was powerful and cold, echoing through the entire Ancient Mine of Primordial Beginning. "I am well aware of what you are thinking."

"You want to devour your own kind, you want to live out a second life, but you are all too cowardly; no one dares to take the lead."

"Since you don't dare, then I will take the lead!"

As his voice fell, the Ancient Kirin Emperor raised his hand and threw the Nameless Supreme's not-yet-cold body forcefully before a Supreme clad in golden battle armor.

"Golden Ancient Emperor, this body is for you."

His eyes were burning with intense provocation, and his voice was resonant and powerful: "I want you to restore your Ultimate Sublimation and fight me! I want to nurture my potential through battle and fight for a third life!!!"

The Golden Ancient Emperor's expression changed abruptly, his countenance becoming solemn to the extreme as he shouted sharply, "You're crazy!!!"

"Ancient Kirin Emperor, you are simply insane! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

How could he possibly agree?

Setting aside whether he could defeat the Ancient Kirin Emperor in his restored Peak state, the blood and Qi consumed just to restore his Ultimate Sublimation would be enough to make his heart ache.

He had remained dormant for eons just to wait for the road to immortality to open. How could he squander his lifelong accumulation for a pointless battle to the death?

"Who the f*ck would be stupid enough to use Ultimate Sublimation and fight a fellow Supreme like you to the death!" The Golden Ancient Emperor was furious, the Golden Divine Light around him surging.

"Hmph! That's not up to you!"

The Ancient Kirin Emperor snorted coldly, his aura surging once again.

His middle-aged face rapidly became younger, and in just a moment, he returned to his youthful appearance from his Peak period, his brow filled with a sharp air of looking down on the world.

His Great Dao Laws spread out, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. The Big Dipper Astral Region shook, and even the distant starry sky rippled.

A pressure far more overbearing than before swept across the universe—a Supreme was restoring his Ultimate Sublimation, returning to the Great Emperor status!
