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

Deep within the Burial Abyss, the remaining Supreme Beings exchanged thoughts frantically.

"We must not act rashly. This person is currently at the height of his power, wielding the Heavenly Heart Mark, and is at his peak. If all of us were to engage in battle, even if we were to win, we would inevitably lose several fellow Daoists, or even more. It would be a losing proposition!"

"Indeed, even Fellow Daoist Samsara, who had reached the pinnacle of his cultivation, was swiftly killed. This person's terror far exceeds our expectations. To fight him head-on at this moment would be unwise."

"Don't forget that our ultimate goal in lying in wait here is to achieve immortality. We must not ruin our eons of waiting because of a moment of anger."

"How hateful, that human brat! He's gone too far! When he's old and his life force has waned, I will surely extract his soul and refine it to avenge this humiliation!"

"Bear with it for now...bear with it for now..."

The discussion quickly yielded a result.

The divine thought that attempted to reason resounded again, its tone much softer, carrying a sense of swallowing its pride:

"Human Emperor, let's talk this out... Why this endless entanglement, only to increase bloodshed?"

"Nirvana is dead, and reincarnation is also gone. Even the greatest hatred should be resolved. There is no cause and effect in this world that cannot be resolved. Perhaps when you reach old age and see through the illusion of immortality, you and I will become companions again."

"How about this? If you cease hostilities and leave today, I, the Burial Abyss, can promise that as long as you live, no supreme being will ever emerge to cause trouble. Wouldn't it be better if we could live in peace?"

"Also, if you have any requests, please let us know, and we will try our best to meet them."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao's face revealed a half-smile, and the killing intent around him slightly subsided:

"Oh? You're open to discussing any terms?"

Seeing that Jiang Hao's attitude seemed to be softening, the Supreme Beings in the Burial God Abyss secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The divine thought quickly replied, "Of course, fellow Daoist, please feel free to make any requests. Everything is negotiable."

"Okay, as you all know, I'm not the kind of person who's belligerent or unreasonable, and my demands aren't high."

Jiang Hao said slowly and deliberately.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Are you really not a warmonger? Are you really reasonable?

"The obstruction of Nirvana has damaged my Dao heart, and I need treasures to make up for it. Show me some sincerity first."

Everyone: ...

After a brief silence, a metal block the size of a millstone, shimmering with a deep blue light like stars, flew out of the sea of ​​mist and landed in front of Jiang Hao.

A rich aura of eternity permeated the air; it was the top-grade immortal gold used to forge supreme imperial weapons—Eternal Blue Gold, and it was quite substantial!

"This piece of Eternal Blue Gold is my apology to the Burial Abyss of Gods, and also a way to settle part of the karma for Nirvana. I hope Fellow Daoist Chaos will accept it with a smile."

A divine thought arrived, carrying a hint of heartache.

Jiang Hao waved his hand, putting away the piece of immortal gold that would make any imperial clan envious, nodded, and then said:

"I will accept this as compensation for the obstruction of the Dao of Annihilation. Now, let's talk about how you should compensate me for the mental anguish caused by your tacit approval of the entire forbidden zone of the Burial God Abyss."

"You!" The fog sea churned violently, clearly the supreme being within was greatly angered by these audacious words.

"What? You don't want to?"

A moment of silence fell over the crowd at Burial God Abyss, as the mist swirled and billowed.

But Jiang Hao didn't care at all.

"I...will, please say so," the voice said through gritted teeth.

"That's right," Jiang Hao said to himself, seemingly oblivious to their reactions.

"As long as Zangshenyuan can produce an immortal herb, all my grudges with Zangshenyuan will be wiped clean from now on."

"Impossible!" This time, several divine thoughts roared simultaneously, unable to maintain their facade of calm any longer.

"Human Emperor, you are too greedy. That large piece of Eternal Blue Gold is already the limit. If you want more, then there's really nothing more to discuss. Let's just fight it out!"

Jiang Hao's face suddenly darkened, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp: "So there's no room for negotiation? Fine!"

The Chaos Heavenly Blade was raised once more, its terrifying blade intent locking onto the Burial God Abyss, even more ferocious than before!

"Wait, human emperor, hold your hand!"

The divine thought that had been guiding them earlier hurriedly called out, filled with urgency.

"It's not that we're unwilling to offer the elixir of immortality, it's just that... there truly isn't a complete elixir of immortality left in the Burial Abyss!"

Jiang Hao paused slightly, his sword intent subsided, and he coldly stared at the fog.

Seeing that Jiang Hao had been calmed down, the divine sense quickly continued to explain, even with a hint of shifting blame:

"If the Chaos Emperor really wants the elixir of immortality, he might as well go and check out places like the Lake of Reincarnation and the Ancient Cave of Chaos... they might have some in stock."

He said he had set up a formation beforehand, clearly to prevent other supreme beings in the forbidden zones from hearing it.

Jiang Hao was speechless. Sure enough, these supreme players in the restricted area were a trap, betraying their teammates.

Jiang Hao raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and seemed to accept the explanation, but did not completely give up.

"Since there is no elixir of immortality... then use other equivalent items to offset the cost. Give me a few more pieces of other immortal gold, or you can hand over your cultivation techniques and other inheritances. I will not be picky."

Although these people have fallen into depravity, they were once invincible figures of their time.

Their individual talents are beyond doubt.

Their scriptures still have a significant effect on Jiang Hao.

Within the sea of ​​fog, another oppressive silence and clash of divine thoughts ensued.

Finally, a stream of light flew out, containing several ancient jade slips and a scroll of scripture that was neither gold nor silk.

At the same time, a much older and more restrained divine thought emerged, forcefully suppressing its killing intent:

"Human Emperor, this is one of the Nine Secrets, the 'Secret of Array Characters,' along with several ancient scriptures collected by my Burial God Abyss... This should be enough!"

Jiang Hao scanned the area with his divine sense and confirmed that it was indeed the genuine "Secret of the Array Characters" inheritance, along with several valuable ancient scriptures. Only then did he nod in satisfaction.

"If you had been wise enough to do this earlier, why did you have to risk your life in the cycle of reincarnation?"

He left behind a sentence that almost made the Supreme Being of the Burial God Abyss vomit blood, then turned around and stepped onto the golden road, never looking back at the churning sea of ​​mist behind him.

Jiang Hao's aura completely disappeared near the Burial God Abyss.

From the depths of the Burial Abyss, earth-shattering curses and roars erupted, lasting for a long time.

"hateful!"

Meanwhile, across the universe, the powerful figures who witnessed Jiang Hao safely emerge from the Burial God Abyss through various means breathed a sigh of relief, only to have their hearts immediately leap into their throats again!

"He's out! The Chaos Emperor has emerged!"

"The Abyss of Burial Gods...has it bowed its head and compromised?"

"My God, that piece of eternal blue gold... and the ancient scripture, the Burial Abyss has been blackmailed!"

"Wait, the direction the Emperor left in... that direction is... the Lake of Reincarnation?!"

"He went to the Lake of Reincarnation again!"

The myriad beings on the ancient star of the Big Dipper, who had just begun to recover from the fear of the confrontation between the two extreme auras, were now plunged into even greater panic.

The Burial God Abyss compromised, but the Chaos Emperor clearly had no intention of backing down!

He's going to the next restricted area!

Many powerful cultivators have begun to hastily arrange for their people to flee Beidou, fearing that the Chaos Emperor and the Forbidden Zones will truly erupt into a full-scale divine war, turning this ancient star into complete ruins.
