Perfection: The Eastern Emperor Bell manifests, I am the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 98 The Four Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors

In its icy will, besides anger, there was also a touch of solemnity and... a hint of barely perceptible anxiety.

It never expected that this newly promoted Quasi-Immortal Emperor would be so troublesome, with his obsession and fighting spirit seemingly endless!
As for the nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor, the traces of darkness erosion on his green robe became increasingly obvious, spreading out like splashed ink.

Although the tragic and resolute aura of annihilation emanating from him was still powerful, it could not conceal a deep-seated weariness.

The extreme conquest that lasted for ten thousand years burned his origin, his Dao fruit, and even more so, the obsessive fire that carried the endless blood feud of the Xuanhuang Great World.

His attacks were not as ferocious as they were at the beginning, but were more refined. Each strike was aimed directly at the origin of the Great Dao, and he was engaged in the most dangerous struggle with the Azure Emperor at the level of laws.

The war between the two sides has entered an even more brutal and tedious phase of attrition. Both sides are gritting their teeth and holding on, waiting to see who will first reveal a fatal flaw, or... who will be the first to witness a change in the tide.

Just as the battle between the World Sea Emperors was at a stalemate that lasted for ten thousand years.

In the Immortal Realm, at the core of the Sun Star, the primordial Fusang Divine Tree that supports heaven and earth is undergoing an unprecedented upheaval!
"Boom--!"

"Boom--!"

"Boom--!"

Deep, resounding booms, seemingly originating from the heartbeat of the universe, emanated from the heart of the Fusang Tree, shaking the entire Sun Star and even affecting a small part of the Immortal Realm!

Endless solar fire and chaotic energy, as if summoned by a monarch, frantically converged towards the heart of the tree, forming an enormous, dazzling cocoon of light interwoven with dark gold and chaotic colors!
Inside the cocoon of light, Lu Xuan sat cross-legged, his body seemingly transformed into a vessel for the Dao.

The left side of his body was burning with the flames of the War Immortal that could incinerate all the heavens, while the right side of his body flowed with the chaotic energy that encompassed all things. In the sea of ​​consciousness between his brows, the phantoms of the three corpses of good, evil, and self had solidified to the extreme. They were no longer simply separate, but slowly rotated in an incomparably mysterious trajectory, as if they were enacting the ultimate truth of the birth and death, and the cycle of reincarnation of the universe!

During his seclusion, he absorbed the immeasurable solar essence accumulated by the Fusang Ancient Tree, fused the dark insights and combat experience brought back from the depths of the Boundary Sea, and further developed the "Severing the Three Corpses" technique to an unprecedented level—the Three Corpses Revolve, and Chaos Returns to One!

He no longer focused on "cutting," but instead grasped the concept of "fusion."

Using chaos as a furnace and fighting spirit as fire, melt away all the good and evil within yourself, return to your origin, and see the one and only, immortal true self!

"Crack!"

At a certain moment, a clear crack appeared on the huge cocoon of light! Then, like a chain reaction, countless cracks instantly spread all over the cocoon of light!

"boom!!!"

The cocoon of light shattered completely! A vast and boundless aura, capable of subjugating all paths, erupted like a dormant ancient beast awakening, sweeping across the eight wastelands!
A figure stepped out from the endless rain of light and chaotic energy.

It was still the same face, but it was even more profound, and his eyes seemed to contain the creation of the world and the flames of war to conquer all realms.

His aura was no longer the sharp edge he had when he first entered the Immortal King realm. Instead, it became like a vast starry sea, unfathomable. The intensity of his power had completely surpassed that of ordinary Immortal King giants, reaching a completely new level—a supreme giant!
Moreover, they are no ordinary, supreme giants!
His Dao Fruit was formed by fusing the three corpse origins with the unique "Chaotic Battle Immortal Dao". Its foundation is so solid and its potential so great that it far surpasses its peers!

Simply by standing there, the chaotic Daoist aura that naturally flowed around him caused the surrounding void to constantly create and disappear, as if he himself were a miniature, evolving chaotic universe!

"After ten thousand years of seclusion, I have finally reached this state."

Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes, feeling the vast power surging within him, a power that seemed capable of controlling the birth and death of the stars with a single thought, and his heart was at peace.

He felt no pride whatsoever, for his gaze had already been fixed on the depths of the Boundary Sea, on the ongoing imperial war.

He knew that even the supreme giants might not be enough in the current chess game of the Boundary Sea, but at least he had the qualifications to make his initial foray into that battlefield!
No longer can they be mere ants watching from afar.

The commotion caused by his emergence from seclusion instantly alarmed the entire Immortal Realm!

Above the Lingxiao Palace, the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor Xi Huang suddenly stood up, his gaze piercing through layers of void, looking towards the direction of the Sun Star, his face filled with shock and complexity.

"This aura...it's Lu Xuan?! He...he's actually reached the realm of a supreme giant?! How is this possible?!"

Ten thousand years, from a newly promoted Immortal King to an unparalleled giant?
What terrifying progress this is!
Even as the Heavenly Emperor, who possessed the fortune of the Immortal Realm, he knew he could never have done it!

Lu Xuan's rapid growth made even this giant of the Imperial Light feel a sense of horror and... an indescribable sense of urgency.

Pan Wang, Hunyuan Immortal King, and other powerful figures from the Immortal Realm were also alarmed, and they all cast shocked glances at them.

Ignoring the external tremors, Lu Xuan briefly adjusted to the surge of power before taking a step forward, leaving the core of the Sun Star, and appearing above the Immortal Realm.

He gazed towards the Boundary Sea, where the fluctuations of the imperial war that had lasted for ten thousand years were still clearly discernible.

"Ten thousand years... are they still fighting...?"

He muttered to himself, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Instead of heading to the Boundary Sea immediately, he flashed and appeared at a hidden chaotic node in the Immortal Realm.

This is the place where he and the Golden Crow Ancestor sealed the ancient temple of guidance.

After ten thousand years of research, especially after his own breakthrough in cultivation, he gained a deeper understanding of this ancient temple.

He needed to use this item to further explore the nature of darkness, and at the same time, he wanted to try to use it as a medium to establish a faint connection with the nameless quasi-immortal emperor who was fighting a bitter battle, or... find a way to intervene in the battle.

He sat cross-legged before the ancient hall, his divine sense, like mercury flowing across the ground, penetrating deep into the core of the ancient hall.

This time, what he felt was no longer just darkness and resistance, but countless interwoven causal lines and dark law veins leading to the depths of the Boundary Sea!
His Chaotic Battle Immortal Dao Fruit and the spiritual perception of the Three Corpses Returning to One gave him some ability to look down upon the essence of this dark creation.

Meanwhile, deep within the Boundary Sea, the millennia-long imperial war seemed to have been slightly disturbed by Lu Xuan's breakthrough...

A faint resonance, seemingly emanating from a distant direction, seemed to pass through the calm and undisturbed mind of the nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

The cold will of the Azure Emperor seemed to sense that some kind of "variable" was brewing.

The age-old stalemate may soon be broken. A new storm is quietly brewing due to Lu Xuan's breakthrough!
Lu Xuan sat cross-legged before the sealed Ancient Hall of Guidance, his supreme divine sense acting like the most precise carving knife, deeply dissecting the core of this dark creation.

His Chaotic Battle Immortal Dao Fruit shone brightly, and the spiritual perception of the Three Corpses Returning to One made him seem to transform into a spotless mirror, reflecting the intricate network of dark laws and causal threads within the ancient palace, like a neural network.

The vast majority of these connections extend to the terrifying source of darkness deep within the Boundary Sea, closely linked to the Azure Emperor and other possible Dark Emperors.

However, within this endless network of darkness, Lu Xuan keenly detected an extremely faint yet unique tremor!

This tremor did not originate from the darkness itself, but rather from a certain resonance between the ancient palace structure and the external imperial war energy!

It was a subtle feedback generated when that ancient palace was swept by the aftershocks of the nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor's Daoist aura of annihilation!

"Chance!"

A glint flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.

He did not attempt to analyze or destroy the core threads pointing to the source of darkness, as that would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.

Instead, he focused all his attention on this "resonance" generated by the imperial war!
Using his own Chaos Battle Immortal power as a guide and the transcendent Dao Realm of Three Corpses Returning to One as a bridge, he carefully guided and amplified this resonance!
This is not a direct transmission of information, as that would immediately invite a backlash from the rules of the Great Dao.

Instead, it's like tuning a musical instrument, allowing one's Daoist rhythm frequency to achieve a subtle synchronization with the vibrations caused by the power of annihilation!

Deep within the Boundary Sea, the nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor, who was engaged in a perilous battle of laws with the Azure Emperor, suddenly experienced a clear ripple in his unchanging state of mind!

He sensed a faint Daoist aura, yet it carried a strange sense of familiarity and vitality, which was quietly touching his Silent Dao Domain through endless time and space in a way he could not understand!
This fluctuation did not originate from an enemy; it contained no darkness or malice whatsoever. Instead, it carried a vibrant vitality, a fighting spirit, and a kind of... clear spiritual awareness that seemed to illuminate the essence of all things.

"Is it... him?"

On the nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor's hazy face, there seemed to be a very subtle change.

He remembered the young immortal king on the dam who had tried to warn him, a man burdened with the mystery of time and space.

Ten thousand years have passed, and this child has grown to the point where he can reach the edge of the Imperial War from such a great distance in this way.

Although this ripple was weak and insufficient to change the course of the battle, it was like a drop of clear spring water falling into the lake of his heart, which had burned for ten thousand years and was filled with hatred and desolation, bringing a trace of indescribable...comfort?
Or rather, is it confirmation?

This confirms that he is not fighting entirely alone; beyond the dark heavens, new sparks are still burning and growing!
This slight fluctuation in his emotions seemed to make his Daoist aura of annihilation even more refined, adding an imperceptible touch of agility to his attacks.

Meanwhile, the Azure Emperor on the opposite side let out an even more furious and impatient roar.

It also vaguely sensed that discordant noise, which, though faint, made it feel a strange unease.

The dark source surged, its attacks becoming even more ferocious, attempting to end this entanglement that had lasted for millennia as quickly as possible!

At the same time, as Lu Xuan guided that resonance, the contact between his supreme giant's Dao Fruit and the deep structure of the Reception Ancient Hall allowed him to glimpse some even more terrifying secrets!

Through the flow and intensity of those dark veins, he vaguely sensed that at the source of darkness in the deepest part of the Boundary Sea, there was an existence like the Azure Emperor whose aura... was not just one!
Although most of them are silent, as if they are asleep or paying attention to something else, that imperial-level pressure that comes from the same source and surpasses all paths is by no means unique!

"As expected... those three quasi-immortal emperors are asleep..." Lu Xuan's heart sank.

He must do something!
Even if it can only convey a tiny bit of power, or... a warning!
He concentrated all his will, no longer merely synchronizing with the Dao rhythm, but attempting to transmit his newly born, infinitely possible Chaotic Battle Immortal aura, as well as the sense of crisis he felt upon seeing multiple Dark Emperors, along the bridge of resonance towards the nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor!
This is not a specific linguistic message, but a pure Taoist warning and spiritual support!
"Om-!"

The moment he attempted to transmit the message, the Ancient Reception Hall trembled violently. The dark veins emitted a warning glow, and a powerful backlash surged through the connection, attempting to crush Lu Xuan's divine sense!

At the same time, the suppression of the great Dao rules descended once again from the darkness!

Lu Xuan groaned, a trickle of chaotic blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were sharp as knives, and his chaotic battle immortal power was running wildly, forcefully withstanding the backlash, sending out the "Daoist Imprint" that embodied all his thoughts like an arrow released from a bow!

After doing all this, he immediately severed his deep connection with the ancient temple, his body swaying slightly and his breathing becoming somewhat disordered.

That last strike almost exhausted most of his mental energy and caused him considerable backlash.

But he couldn't bother to adjust his breathing; his eyes were fixed on the direction of the Boundary Sea.

Deep within the Boundary Sea, the nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor, who was locked in a fierce battle with the Azure Emperor, suddenly shuddered!
He clearly received a faint yet incredibly clear Daoist imprint!
The chaotic meaning contained within it moved him, but what shocked him even more was the strong crisis warning emanating from the core of the mark regarding "multiple dark emperors"!

Although it was only a vague perception and not conclusive evidence, it coincided with his long-held speculation about the source of darkness!

Moreover, this warning came through a dark creation like the Ancient Temple of Guidance, making it exceptionally significant!
"I see……"

The nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor understood, and for the first time, his eternally frozen state of mind was filled with intense determination and a trace of... relief.

He knew his ultimate fate.

But he showed no fear, no retreat; instead, he unleashed an even more dazzling light of annihilation!

Since its demise is inevitable, let it burn itself out before the curtain falls, clearing more obstacles and giving those who come after it a better chance of survival!
His offensive suddenly became even more brutal, even carrying a hint of... mutual destruction!

For a time, the Azure Emperor was forced to retreat repeatedly, and several incurable wounds of annihilation were added to the Dark Emperor's body!

"madman!"

The Azure Emperor was filled with shock and anger, unable to understand why the other party had suddenly become so resolute.

Lu Xuan sensed the sudden surge of the Emperor's War energy deep within the Boundary Sea, a surge filled with tragic grandeur. He understood that his "Daoist Imprint" had been delivered.

He slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

"Not enough... I must be faster... and become stronger!"
