Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

The starry sky remains, and the legend continues.

The story of Qingmu Forest, like a tragic yet magnificent footnote, is engraved on the historical scroll of the Heavenly Court Era, interpreting the struggle, choices, and inheritance of individual lives under the supreme order.

The Heavenly Court continues to operate.

Another 10,000 years have passed.

For over ten thousand years, numerous powerful individuals have attempted to transcend the Tribulation of Proving the Dao, hoping to become Emperors, but none have succeeded.

They either failed to survive the tribulation or were killed by the supreme being of the forbidden zone after surviving the tribulation.

Of course, the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone did not violate the rules; only one person could shoot each time.

This made all beings in the heavens understand even more the difficulty and significance of successfully attaining enlightenment.

First, one must stand out from among countless geniuses, and then one must overcome a terrifying tribulation.

After surviving the great calamity, they still have to pass the test of the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone.

Each level is incredibly difficult.

This makes one marvel at the goodness of the Heavenly Court and the terror of the Heavenly Emperor.

You should know that there's an unspoken rule now: only one Supreme Being from the restricted area can make a move at a time.

Even so, proving one's path to enlightenment is already this difficult.

Before the Heavenly Emperor, whenever someone attained enlightenment, a group of supreme beings from forbidden zones could intervene.

This is on a completely different level of difficulty.

It is said that when the Heavenly Emperor attained enlightenment, he killed several supreme beings as soon as he underwent tribulation.

The comparison between the two made everyone realize once again just how powerful the Heavenly Emperor was.

The Heavenly Emperor Jiang Hao's fame grew, but he hasn't made a public appearance in the last ten thousand years.

A new generation of outstanding talents has emerged.

They grew up listening to legends of the Heavenly Emperor, but had never seen the Heavenly Emperor in person.

Although the Heavenly Court remains majestic and the enforcement teams still patrol the heavens, the Heavenly Emperor himself has gradually become a symbol.

In this new era, the battles between the most talented individuals are more brutal than in any previous age.

Because of the long period of silence, more prodigies have emerged in this generation than in the past. Everyone feels that someone will surely attain enlightenment in this lifetime.

In the southern region of the Big Dipper, there is a medium-sized human city called Maple Forest City.

The Fang family has been here for 20,000 years. Although they are not a top-tier clan, they have produced several saints and can be considered a powerful force.

This generation of the Fang family produced a genius named Fang Yuan.

He opened the sea of ​​suffering at the age of ten, reached the Dao Palace at the age of fifteen, stepped into the Four Extremes at the age of twenty, transformed into a dragon nine times at the age of twenty-three, and ascended to the Immortal Platform at the age of thirty.

His talent was so exceptional that the clan elders were overjoyed and devoted all their resources to nurturing him.

But no one knew that when Fang Yuan was twelve years old, he found a piece of ancient jade stained with blood in the back mountain.

Hidden inside the ancient jade is a fragmented scripture, the "Blood Prison True Scripture".

This scripture is mysterious, special, and powerful. Fang Yuan secretly cultivated it after obtaining it.

At first, he was just curious, but soon he discovered how terrifying the scripture was.

It doesn't rely on cultivation, but on devouring.

It is most effective to devour the essence and blood of living beings, especially those of the same bloodline.

He committed his first murder at the age of fourteen.

He killed a cousin who was competing with him for resources.

He watched as his cousin's blood was drained and transformed into pure essence that flowed into his body.

The feeling of his cultivation level suddenly increasing made him tremble and also made him fall into despair.

"Such a wonderful feeling..."

Fang Yuan began his journey to escort the bride, concealing it very well.

Everyone assumed that his cousin had died unexpectedly during his training.

In the days that followed, he continued to kill young prodigies and collateral relatives.

His cultivation level continued to improve rapidly.

However, as his cultivation level increased, his need for the Blood Prison Scripture grew.

The effects of blood from ordinary prodigies and collateral relatives are getting worse and worse.

The best starting point is blood relatives, especially direct blood relatives.

Fang Yuan struggled, but the exhilarating feeling of increased power corroded his heart like poison.

Finally, on the night he reached the King Realm at the age of three hundred.

He carried the knife and walked into his parents' and brothers' courtyard.

That night, all 173 members of the Fang family in Blood Maple City, regardless of age or whether they were cultivators or mortals, were wiped out.

Blood flowed into streams, flooding the bluestone square in front of the ancestral hall.

Fang Yuan stood in the center of the pool of blood, with the ancient jade floating above his head, frantically devouring all the source energy and the surging blood energy that had just been generated.

In an instant, Fang Yuan's foundation and cultivation level increased, and he rediscovered that long-lost feeling, that wonderful feeling.

"I've finally succeeded. You didn't die; you're just accompanying me in a different way..."

A flash of lightning illuminated Fang Yuan's demonic and ghostly appearance.

The news sent shockwaves through BeiDou.

Fang Yuan's behavior was simply bestial; it was utterly outrageous.

This was just the beginning. With his newfound power, Fang Yuan became even more unscrupulous and began hunting down true prodigies.

Enraged by the actions of various factions, a kill order was issued.

But Fang Yuan was very cautious and also very good at hiding and escaping.

He even changed his name to Refining Heaven Demon Lord.

"Refining people, refining bones, and even refining heaven!"

He then went on a campaign, venturing into the starry sky.

Once he stepped into the starry sky, Fang Yuan completely let go.

He specifically targeted the prodigies of powerful clans.

Because, apart from blood relatives, the very essence of these prodigies is the best tonic.

He hollowed out the heart of a prodigy from the Golden Bull Clan and drained his golden bloodline. He also refined a descendant of a demon queen from the demon realm into a blood pill.

The ancient divine body was beheaded by him, and its divine essence was extracted...

He was ruthless, but also clever and resourceful.

The various clans and major forces that he had offended had formed alliances many times, but either he detected them in advance, or he escaped.

It can both fight and run.

Crucially, he also knows how to maintain proper boundaries and understands the rules of Heaven, never doing anything that violates them.

Aside from his own family, he only kills prodigies, not ordinary people.

Killing prodigies is a normal competition among prodigies, and the Heavenly Court will not interfere.

His fearsome reputation spread rapidly throughout the heavens, and eventually, whenever he appeared in a star field, all the geniuses would flee at the mere mention of his name.

Several top geniuses with a strong sense of justice joined forces to besiege him, but he relied on his strange demonic skills and ruthless nature to kill two of them and escape with serious injuries.

He grew stronger and more arrogant, and another thousand years passed.

Tianya Star, a medium-sized ancient star in the starry sky, Fang Yuan sat cross-legged on the altar of an ancient temple in a desolate mountain, his blood energy slowly gathering into his body.

He opened his eyes, a hint of blood flowing deep within his pupils, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

"The Brahma Battle Body... truly lives up to its reputation, it has actually allowed him to break through again and reach the peak of the Great Saint."

He clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him.

His bones gleamed with a dark golden luster, his blood surged like a mighty river, and every inch of his muscle contained explosive power.

This is not an effect that a single physique can achieve; it is a physique formed by the fusion of the essence of multiple physiques after he devoured the origins of many prodigies.

Although it is not pure, it is all-encompassing.

"Not enough."

Fang Yuan looked at the dark red ancient jade floating in front of him.

The "Blood Prison Scripture" recorded in this jade was created by a celestial being in the mythological era, and it was the foundation of his rise to power.

But he wanted more; he wanted to become a Chaos Body, like the Chaos Emperor who shook the heavens, suppressing an era with his supreme physique.

"The Heavenly Emperor Jiang Hao is invincible, and the Chaos Body must be the key. I also want to reach that level."

Because of Jiang Hao's invincible performance, the Chaotic Body is particularly sought after, and everyone feels that the Chaotic Body is the supreme physique that no other physique can compare to.

Just then, Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow, and instead of being nervous, he showed a hint of excitement on his face.

"You're here? Perfect opportunity to give it a try."

He grabbed the ancient jade and put it in his pocket, then stepped out of the ancient temple.

The sky has been blocked.

The three quasi-emperors stood in a triangular formation in the void, their auras locked on the ground below.
