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

When he dragged his exhausted body, covered in blood, and staggered as he fought his way through the seventh level of the Immortal Palace.

After absorbing the essence of the lightning tribulation, his aura not only did not decrease but increased, reaching an unprecedented critical point.

Its powerful aura almost crushed the eternal blue sky!

Meanwhile, the gate to the eighth celestial palace had opened, and a figure emerged from within.

He was majestic and imposing, with boundless fighting spirit. Just by standing there, he exuded an invincible aura that seemed capable of conquering the heavens and the earth and sweeping away all enemies.

With a slight tremor, the illusory image of the immortal iron rod condensed from chaotic thunder essence in his hand completely pulverized the surrounding star field fragments.

"The War Emperor, the last emperor of the ancient era, who attained enlightenment through battle and whose combat prowess was astonishing, has actually appeared!"

Some ancient artifacts fell silent, filled with awe.

"War Emperor!"

A brilliant light flashed in Jiang Hao's eyes. He naturally knew this emperor quite well.

After all, he was the last emperor of the ancient times, the emperor closest to the present era.

The War Emperor possesses immense power; after all, someone who dares to use battle as their calling card is certainly not an ordinary cultivator.

"He spent his entire life in battle, striving to break through the heavens with his strength. His pure fighting spirit was unparalleled throughout history. Unfortunately, he ultimately fell on the path to immortality. He is both admirable and lamentable."

Jiang Hao's heroic spirit was completely ignited.

"war!"

He activated the Dou Zi Secret Technique, raising his fighting spirit to its peak, and swung his Emperor Fist, clashing head-on with the immortal iron rod that seemed capable of piercing the heavens.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Each collision was like two ancient stars clashing, the resulting shockwaves sweeping across the sea of ​​lightning, exuding an aura of destruction.

Jiang Hao's eyes grew increasingly piercing as the battle progressed.

He sensed that unyielding, pure fighting spirit, determined to break free of all constraints, and secretly admired it.

"Impressive. This kind of unwavering will is itself an invincible path. No wonder he is the War Emperor, a being who dares to transform into a War Immortal."

"continue!"

Jiang Hao then rushed forward again and continued his fierce battle with the War Emperor.

The roar of the great battle continued, causing the hearts and minds of all beings in the heavens to tremble.

The War Emperor was very strong, but it was not his true form after all; it was merely a phantom of the lightning tribulation. In the end, it was destroyed by Jiang Hao's punch.

This battle greatly benefited Jiang Hao.

He looked up at the ninth level of the celestial palace.

There, the gates were tightly shut, and all was silent.

But a powerful pressure that made all the onlookers, including those in the forbidden zone of life, feel a chill emanate from it.

Everyone knows that the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation becomes increasingly difficult towards the end.

And the ninth level is undoubtedly the most difficult.

Jiang Hao took a deep breath, his fighting spirit burning fiercely, and stepped onto the battlefield.

"Let me see, on the last floor, who's waiting for me?"

Jiang Hao was covered in blood, but his aura burned brighter and brighter, like oil being poured on a raging fire.

He took a step forward, and the shattered eighth immortal palace completely vanished behind him. His gaze was fixed firmly on the even deeper ninth immortal palace, whose oppressive aura was like the collapse of the universe.

"Is this child truly going to defy the heavens?"

The ancient quasi-emperor who had witnessed the tribulation spoke in a dry voice, trembling with disbelief.

Having broken through eight layers of immortal palaces and withstood the imprints of numerous ancient emperors and celestial beings, Jiang Hao's combat prowess has exceeded all reason.

Even those supreme beings in the forbidden zones of life, who have witnessed countless rises and falls throughout history, found it difficult to remain absolutely calm at this moment.

"What an extraordinary person! Has another extraordinary era arrived?"

Within the Abyss of Burial Gods, a supreme being whispered, his divine thoughts carrying a hint of solemnity.

"Latercomer... just what is your background? The heavenly tribulation you have triggered has even made me feel a little uneasy."

Even as powerful as they were, when they recalled the tribulations they had faced in their past attempts to attain enlightenment, they seemed somewhat...peaceful compared to the ninefold immortal tribulation before them.

"Looking at his qi and blood, it is like a bright sun, his life essence is so abundant that it is far beyond that of ordinary people who have just stepped into this realm."

Within the Meteorite Sea, a being spoke coldly, its calm tone concealing a hint of covetousness.

"If one can absorb its essence, it will be enough to make up for the desolation brought about by the long years and extend one's life by several eras."

"It's best to eliminate such variables as soon as possible."

Another malevolent divine thought echoed, regarding Jiang Hao as the supreme elixir to prolong its own life, waiting only for the opportune moment.

On the edge of the universe, the gates of the ninth celestial palace roared open amidst a chorus of wailing cries.

Behind the door was not a single opponent as one might have imagined, but a group.

Nine blurry figures, each exuding an aura that suppressed all heavens and eternity, stood side by side.

They come in all shapes and sizes; some have their heads touching the heavens and their feet treading the netherworld.

Some are surrounded by fragments of time.

Some seem to be the source of all power...

Although it was merely a phantom image of the Dao traces etched by the Heavenly Tribulation, the combined power it possessed caused the laws of the entire desolate edge of the universe to tremble.

Jiang Hao's pupils suddenly contracted, and even with his composure, he felt a chill.

"The Nine Emperors of Antiquity!"

He recognized the origins of the nine figures.

They were nine invincible emperors who ruled the world at different times during the ancient era, each reaching the pinnacle of their respective paths.

Their path, their law, once illuminated the entire ancient starry sky.

Heaven and earth simultaneously manifested their marks, setting up this deadly trap.

"Nine...Nine emperors appearing together? How is that possible!"

In an instant, countless horrified gasps erupted from all corners of the universe.

"He's gone mad, absolutely mad! The ninth level of the Immortal Tribulation is actually a one-man battle against the Nine Ancient Emperors? This isn't a test, it's a death sentence, it's heaven and earth forbidding him!"

A powerful cultivator from the Origin Realm lost his composure and roared.

"Ninefold Immortal Tribulation... Ancient texts record that it varies from person to person, with different tribulations. It is said that the deeper one's foundation and the more terrifying one's potential, the stronger the immortal tribulation one will attract. But this... fighting nine emperors alone? Unheard of, unseen. Just how abnormal are Jiang Hao's foundation and potential? That heaven and earth would resort to such means to stop him?"

The learned old monk, his voice trembling, revealed this despairing truth.

The Dao Seeking Sect fell silent; everyone's faces instantly turned pale.

"Can Senior Brother Jiang still make it through?" a young disciple murmured.

Although they had great faith in Jiang Hao's strength, this Ancient Ninefold Phantom Trial was too difficult.

No one dares to say it will definitely pass.

"I don't know, but I believe him," another disciple said.

Deep within the Dragon Realm, an ancient dragon let out a deep, muffled roar.

"Single against nine emperors... If this child succeeds, he will suppress all the heavens and myriad realms for an era, no, perhaps even longer."

In the ancestral temple of the demon realm, the giant blood-red eye flickered violently:

"Such a foundation... if it were devoured, perhaps it could truly glimpse the legendary... Immortal Realm."

In the celestial realm, an ancient being's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Within the Abyss of Burial Gods, the cold will of the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation rippled violently for the first time, filled with extreme heat and greed.

"Good, good indeed, Jiang Hao, to have actually triggered the Nine Emperors' World-Suppressing Technique. Such a perfect Dao Foundation should rightfully belong to me."

He became even more determined to make the purchase; such a treasure was a once-in-a-millennium find.

After a moment of silence, the Supreme Being of the Meteorite Sea said softly:

"Such a calamity is unprecedented in history; it is yet another astonishing monster."

Even the arrogant supreme being of the Chaos Ancient Cave stopped his mockery and spoke in a solemn tone.

"Nine emperors appearing together... This kid is really... freakish."

Faced with this Nine Emperors' World-Suppressing Situation, which could make any genius or supreme being feel despair.

After his initial fierce demeanor, Jiang Hao's eyes showed no fear. Instead, his burning fighting spirit erupted as if doused with boiling oil, soaring straight into the sky.

He felt unprecedented pressure, but he also felt the boiling and jubilation of the chaotic blood within him.
