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

The Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Now is not the time for regrets; he has an even more important problem to face: his lifespan in this life is not much longer.

If he cannot live a second life, he will truly pass away.

"Transformation, living a second life."

The light rekindled in the eyes of the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor.

Although the sixth secret realm is impassable, the transformation method should still work, right?

There's no reason why the Transformation Method wouldn't work for him either; the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor was quite confident that he could live a second life.

However, reality soon dealt him another blow.

Another two thousand years have passed.

No matter how he tried, how he tried to comprehend, or how he tried to activate his source, he could not take that crucial step.

The idea of ​​living a life in reverse sounds simple, but it's incredibly difficult to do.

Each attempt required a great deal of effort, and what made it even more frustrating was that he tried many times, but all he got was blood and bruises.

"Why is it so difficult?"

The Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor sat in the center of his secluded cultivation area, looking at his hands that were beginning to show signs of aging, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

He was somewhat devastated; he finally understood those supreme beings in the forbidden zones.

He used to think that those supreme beings were all useless, unable to even transform and live out their next life.

But now he understands a little.

Transformation is really too difficult.

It's so difficult it's despair-inducing.

"But the Heavenly Emperor has clearly lived several lifetimes, and I've heard that the Heavenly Emperor's transformation is very simple," the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor muttered to himself.

"Why is there such a huge difference between emperors?"

At that moment, his mindset completely changed.

From the very beginning of my enlightenment, I will surpass the Heavenly Emperor.

Even after being suppressed by a single palm strike, I may not be as powerful as the Heavenly Emperor, but given time, I can still catch up.

Now, I am not even on the same level as the Heavenly Emperor.

Reality dealt him a heavy blow.

"Ugh."

The Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor sighed deeply.

He knew it was time.

It's time to abandon that ridiculous idea and seek help from the Heavenly Emperor, otherwise it will be too late. If we waste any more time, it will be too late.

"However, before seeking out the Heavenly Emperor, we must first express our sincerity."

A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor.

Three days later, on the edge of the universe, outside the ancient cave of chaos.

A tall and mighty figure descended from the sky, radiating a vast imperial aura; it was none other than the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor.

The entire universe was immediately alarmed.

"The Celestial Emperor has gone to the forbidden zone? Is he going to enter the forbidden zone?"

"No way, this Holy Spirit Emperor is also going to take the path of self-mutilation? Why doesn't he follow the example of the previous emperors and enter the ascension passage? Wouldn't going to the Lesser Immortal Realm be much better than entering the forbidden zone?"

"There's nothing we can do. Perhaps the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor doesn't want to go to the Lesser Immortal Realm. After all, people have different ideas."

Countless people were alarmed by the actions of the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor. As for the possibility that the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor might enter the forbidden area, everyone was only somewhat surprised and not worried.

In the past, if a purveyor were to enter a forbidden zone, all living beings in the heavens would be terrified.

But now, no one is worried at all, because with the Heavenly Emperor around, no one can overturn the heavens.

Even if the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor enters the forbidden zone, it's just one more person; it has no impact whatsoever.

Compared to other races, the Holy Spirit race became nervous.

Their Holy Spirit Clan had finally produced a great emperor of the present era; if he were to enter the forbidden zone, the Holy Spirit Clan's hopes for a resurgence would be dashed once again.

Inside the penalty area, there was also jubilation.

"Hahaha, the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor has finally come to his senses!"

"I knew it! Transformation isn't that easy. If we don't go to the Lesser Immortal Realm, we'll still end up following the same old path we did."

"Not bad, not bad, we have gained another fellow Daoist."

The restricted area hasn't added any new players for a long time. Ever since Jiang Hao became emperor, the restricted area has only lost players, never added any.

Now that there's one more person, they're overjoyed, feeling a sense of nostalgia.

That's more like it; that's how our penalty area should be.

From the depths of the Chaos Ancient Cave, an ancient voice resounded: "Fellow Daoist Tianma, have you come to your understanding? Do you wish to join my Chaos Ancient Cave and together comprehend the Great Dao of Immortality?"

There was a hint of laughter in his voice.

However, the next moment, the actions of the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor stunned everyone.

He raised his hand and a golden spear materialized in his grasp—his imperial weapon—pointing directly at the chaotic ancient cave: "Enough nonsense, come out and I'll kill you!"

Upon hearing this, all the heavens fell silent instantly!

All the spectators in the myriad realms were stunned.

"What's going on? Wasn't the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor going to enter the forbidden zone?"

"So we all misunderstood the Celestial Horse Emperor; he came to kill the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone?"

"It seems there's no problem. We were just prejudiced. Actually, given Pegasus Saint Emperor's personality, it's quite normal for him to cause trouble for the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone!"

"My goodness, what an imposing Pegasus Saint Emperor!"

All the beings in the heavens were discussing it animatedly, eager to see what would happen.

Within the chaotic ancient cave, the aged voice turned sinister: "Pegasus Saint Emperor, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean?" The Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor sneered. "Do I need to make myself clearer? I've come here today to take your head as a gift to present to the Heavenly Emperor."

"You!" the voice roared in fury. "Arrogant! You're practically asking for death!"

A figure shrouded in chaotic energy burst out of the ancient cave; it was a supreme being from the Chaotic Ancient Cave.

His aura was decaying, but when he made his move, he unleashed a terrifying imperial might.

"Tianma, you, the great emperor of this era, have actually become the lackey of the Heavenly Emperor. You have truly disgraced us Dao Prodigies!" The Supreme Being of the Chaos Ancient Cave roared and cursed.

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor scoffed, "Lackey? You dare use that word?"

His golden spear trembled, and the void shattered:

"The Heavenly Emperor established the Heavenly Court, ruled over all the heavens, maintained order, opened the path to immortality, paved the way for all living beings, spread the Great Dao, and taught all spirits. His merits are immeasurable, and he is the teacher of all the heavens!"

"The entire heavens are carried by the Heavenly Emperor. What kind of person is the Heavenly Emperor? How dare you speak of him?"

The voice of the Celestial Emperor resounded through the starry sky: "What's wrong with me regarding the Heavenly Emperor as my teacher and idol? It's you bunch of good-for-nothings who, having committed suicide, hide in the forbidden zone like rats in a sewer. Do you even dare to talk to me about the word 'shame'?"

These words caused an uproar once again among the heavens.

"The Heavenly Emperor is my teacher? His idol?" someone murmured. "How can this Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor be so good at flattery? Is this still the same confident and arrogant Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor?"

"Haha, I really didn't expect that, but what the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor said is indeed the truth. The Heavenly Emperor has truly done immeasurable good deeds."

"Hahaha, after the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor said those words, those old guys in the Chaos Ancient Cave must have turned green with envy, right?"

Just as the others in the heavens had said, the other supreme beings in the forbidden zone also looked grim.

They never expected that the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor was not there to join the forbidden zone, but instead to kill them to show his loyalty to the Heavenly Emperor!

This is a huge slap in the face to their penalty area. What do they take their penalty area for?

If the Heavenly Emperor said such a thing, it would be one thing, since the Heavenly Emperor is indeed invincible and has the right to treat their forbidden zones in this way.

But what is the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor? He's just a new emperor, utterly ignorant of his own limitations.
