The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

A layer of dark light covered the area, and beyond that light lay a vast and boundless land.

In the vast land, there are some rocky mountains piled up there, a scene of utter desolation.

In the midst of the chaotic rocky mountains, an enormous humanoid figure lay supine on a stone chair, its body mangled and motionless, as if it were already dead.

At this moment, Shi Hao's whole body tensed up, his eyes shining like two golden lamps. He knew that the being lying on the imperial throne carved from a stone mountain was a true immortal emperor.

Previously, the collapse of many great worlds in the myriad realms was related to this being.

He merely sat there, using his mouth and nose to breathe through the seal, and yet it produced terrifying results. It's hard to imagine what a cataclysmic scene he would have been in his complete form.

The two stones exchanged a glance, each releasing boundless light to see more clearly.

"boom!"

They used every means at their disposal, and their vision finally broke through the dark light, allowing them to see the full appearance of the Immortal Emperor.

Under the crimson twilight, on the desolate, rocky mountain, wisps of black mist rolled in—the most terrifying dark substance, which even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor could not withstand and would be corrupted. On a huge stone chair, a creature lay silently.

His body was completely black, his physique was incomplete, some parts of it were already rotting, and waves of dark energy rose from his wounds.

That is the true origin of dark matter, at least in this world.

The creature was badly mutilated, with a shocking gash running from its head down to its abdomen. Half of its head was missing, and its left arm was also gone. It looked very pitiful.

"Even the Celestial Emperor was torn apart?"

Shi Hao was deeply shaken.

"He must have torn it open himself to preserve his pure body," Shi Yi replied.

This immortal emperor was covered in chains, binding and sealing him. The dark light curtain was originally sacred and radiant, attempting to seal away the darkness. Unfortunately, with the passage of time, it had long been eroded by the power of darkness and had become what it is now.

"Stay away from him, it's dangerous there."

At this moment, a voice came from outside the black mist, originating from the primordial spirit imprint in the temple that had lost its memory.

Shuangshi ignored it; he already knew what was going on.

They observed the Emperor in the darkness, who was severely corrupted, with black mist emanating from every wound.

The previous breaths were plundering the holy essence of the heavens and expelling the dark matter from within.

Mie, Yu, Hong, and Cang had also come here and witnessed this scene. The true Immortal Emperor and the opportunity to become an Emperor made them unable to resist. Therefore, they offered sacrifices here time and time again to obtain the Immortal Emperor's Scripture.

Shi Yi's eyes were deep, with symbols of the Great Dao surging within them. He gazed through the long river of time, seeing the corpse breathing and exhaling. Tracing back further, he could see four fallen quasi-immortal emperors attacking this place, trying to break through the light barrier, kill their way in, obtain the immortal emperor's corpse, and acquire all the immortal emperor's scriptures.

But they failed.

That light barrier was a seal set up by the Immortal Emperor; how could a Quasi-Immortal Emperor possibly shake it? No matter how they attacked, it was all in vain.

Mie, Yu, Hong, and Cang sat here more than once, refining the Immortal Emperor's scriptures. Whenever the dark matter in their bodies accumulated to a certain level, they would stop to sleep and recuperate, waiting for the next era to arrive so they could harvest the essence from the heavens.

They also fear falling completely into darkness.

Shuangshi, like them, sat down cross-legged here.

Unlike the four fallen quasi-immortal emperors, the two always regarded the immortal emperor scriptures as a reference, rather than blindly copying them.

As for the various aspects of the Immortal Embryo Realm, Shi Yi shared his insights with Shi Hao without reservation. At the same time, he also gave Shi Hao the Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor Origin that he had suppressed.

Now, the origins of the four Quasi-Immortal Emperors—Extinction, Feather, Hong, and Cang—all fell into Shi Hao's hands for his reference and research.

Within the pool of laws, the four origins each resided in a different direction, silently resisting the erosion of the pool of laws, without giving up hope or simply giving up.

At their level, the steadfastness of their Daoist resolve is unimaginable to ordinary people; no matter what situation they fall into, they will never give up on themselves.

Shi Hao began to study the methods and paths to break through to the Immortal Embryo Realm.

With so many references, given his qualifications, progress was naturally rapid.

Shi Yi, standing to the side, began studying the Immortal Emperor Scripture. It is true that standing on the shoulders of giants allows one to see higher and farther. He understood the feelings of the Old Man of Annihilation and the others, because after refining the Immortal Emperor Scripture, one would indeed have the illusion that the Immortal Emperor realm was within reach.

Few people can resist it.

Compared to Shi Hao's tentative refining, Shi Yi was much more ferocious, capturing large quantities of Immortal Emperor scriptures and refining them without hesitation.

At the same time, a large amount of dark essence entered Shi Yi's body. Whenever it was close to the critical value, Shi Yi would stop and use the Feather Transformation Technique to expel the dark essence from his body.

With the help of the Immortal Emperor's Scripture, Shi Yi's comprehension of this realm is rapidly advancing. This is directly reflected in the Forbidden Sea of ​​Bitterness, where the future Dao Flower, which he controls with his essence, energy, and spirit, is moving faster and faster, riding the wind and waves, and speeding towards the ninth Dao Beacon.

One year, two years... ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years.

The two sat there for a thousand years.

During this period, the Immortal Emperor's primordial spirit imprint in the temple repeatedly warned that the corpse Immortal Emperor was not completely dead and was most likely still alive.

On that day, these words came true.

Suddenly, Shuangshi tensed up, a chill ran down his spine, as if he were being watched by something terrifying.

The next moment, the two opened their eyes and immediately saw that within the dark light, the Corpse Immortal Emperor on the stone chair had opened his empty eyes and was coldly staring at the two of them.

Before they could make a move, a powerful divine thought came to them, informing them that if they could draw in pure and holy essence, they would be given a scripture of an immortal emperor.

That's how the Four Dark Emperors went astray, how could the Twin Stones possibly repeat their mistakes? They refused outright.

At this moment, the Corpse Immortal Emperor was in a very bad state. His last breath and those chains made him quite sleepy. Even if he woke up, he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble. They still had time.

Do you wish to forge a great karmic bond with a Celestial Emperor?

Enraged by the rejection, the Corpse Immortal Emperor uttered a chillingly indifferent voice.

“You were once a Celestial Emperor, with the world in your heart and compassion for all living beings. Now, you are ill, corrupted by darkness. Rest well and slumber. When the time comes, we will help you escape this sea of ​​suffering,” Shi Yi replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Corpse Immortal Emperor's eyes were terrifying. He was very domineering and had inherited some of his personality traits from his previous life. He wanted to control everything in the world.

"Those who defy the Emperor's will will die without a burial place."

His words carried immense authority, causing the entire dark land to tremble.

"How arrogant! How much of your strength do you still possess?" Shi Hao sneered.

The next moment, the Corpse Immortal Emperor roared, trying to send the two Quasi-Immortal Emperors to the cycle of reincarnation with his words.

However, this was impossible. His condition was too poor, and most of the surging dark matter was blocked by the light barrier, with only a little bit spilling out.

Even so, these creatures formed from dark matter possessed the strength of a quasi-Immortal Emperor. Shi Yi acted directly; with his cultivation level of residing in an Immortal Embryo, annihilating ordinary quasi-Immortal Emperors was not difficult.

"boom!"

The Feathered Fist was unleashed, and the creature formed from the dark matter was pulverized and disintegrated before it could even exert any effect.

The Corpse Immortal Emperor's eyes were cold. His attack had no effect, which was unbearable for him.

"puff!"

The dark matter had just condensed when it was shattered by Shi Yi; they were simply not on the same level.

Upon seeing this, the Corpse Immortal Emperor let out a deafening roar, and countless runes transformed into a storm, sweeping towards the twin stones.

After being filtered by that light barrier, the power of the rune storm was greatly reduced, and in the end, it was only at the level of a strong quasi-immortal emperor.

The two stones each defended themselves.

Shi Yi defended himself with ease. For him now, only attacks from true Immortal Emperor level could pose a threat; other attacks were utterly useless.

Shi Hao blocked the attack, but he was in excruciating pain all over his body. His expression was solemn. Was this the Celestial Emperor? The attack under these circumstances still possessed such power; it was truly unfathomable.

After failing once again, the Corpse Immortal Emperor actually rose straight up from his throne, the chains of divine order binding him taut and clanging loudly.

This time, he attempted to sever the souls of the two stones directly through the light barrier. In the past, this would have been an easy task, but now, he was struggling and expending a great deal of energy, as the feeling of slumber swept over his entire body.

In the end, the Corpse Immortal Emperor failed again and was unable to kill the Twin Stones as he wished.

He sat back down, his strength exhausted, and drowsiness washed over him; he was about to fall asleep again.

"Though I die, I am still the Emperor. You are enemies of the Emperor, and you are destined to die and perish." He said coldly before falling into his sleep, as if he were pronouncing the fate of Shuangshi.

Shuangshi merely sneered at this, showing no concern.

As Shi Yi watched the Corpse Immortal Emperor fall into a deep sleep, his expression turned grave.

“Brother, we have about 100,000 years left. You need to reach the level required to challenge for the Immortal Emperor during this time,” he said.

"Reaching the Immortal Emperor realm is still a long way off, but I'm already making progress on reaching the Immortal Embryo realm," Shi Hao replied.

He was a cultivation genius, a protagonist of an era. With Shi Yi's unreserved sharing of experience and the reference of the Immortal Emperor Scripture and the paths of the four Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors, he progressed extremely quickly and soon grasped the basics.

"He can break through to the Immortal Embryo stage now?" Shi Yi was astonished. His younger brother, the Desolate Emperor, truly had extraordinary talent.

“Almost there,” Shi Hao replied.

Shi Yi nodded, and then the place fell silent again.

Five hundred years later, Shi Hao suddenly had a whim and told Shi Yi that he wanted to try to break through to the Immortal Embryo Realm.

He didn't change locations; he launched his attack on the Immortal Embryo Realm right here.

With that layer of light in place, as long as it's not an attempt to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, it won't affect that dark territory, and it won't awaken the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

"Buzz!"

Shi Hao's body emanated a rich, clear light. Every inch of his flesh and every inch of his skin... all had potential gates opened, and that clear light was released from these gates.

Strands of the Great Dao intertwined around him, all of them were chains of divine order, densely packed. At this moment, he pushed the secret realm system to its limit.

"laugh!"

These elements intertwined, forming a Dao cocoon around Shi Hao, from which a chilling fluctuation emanated, enough to make even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor feel terrified.

Shi Yi nodded slightly. He could tell that his younger brother had accumulated a lot of experience. This time, he would most likely be able to break into the Immortal Embryo Realm. Of course, it would be unlikely that he could stay there permanently.

Shi Hao is different from Shi Yi. By following the proper training methods, he can only progress step by step.

As time went on, the fluctuations emanating from the cocoon became increasingly terrifying, and various strange phenomena emerged, as if some terrible thing was being born.

Shi Yi was all too familiar with this situation. This was the birth of a celestial embryo, the placenta that nurtured the Dao Fruit of the Celestial Emperor. It was equivalent to a rebirth, a struggle to transform into a completely new self.

It is precisely because of this transformation that the Immortal Embryo Realm is so transcendent.

After an unknown amount of time, there was finally movement within the cocoon; with a "crack," a sound of it splitting open was heard.

It can be clearly seen that a crack appeared on the cocoon, and then, starting from this crack, more cracks spread out, spreading like a spider web.

"boom!"

The cocoon shattered, and a living being emerged from it, its entire body covered in clear light, possessing extreme power.

It was Shi Hao, who was standing at the Immortal Embryo Realm.

A look of joy appeared in his eyes as he felt the immense power emanating from his body and experienced this realm that brought him one step closer to becoming an Immortal Emperor.

"Is this the Immortal Embryo? The placenta that nurtures the Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit?" Shi Hao murmured to himself, seemingly having grasped the true meaning of it.

He sensed it; it was indeed much stronger than when he was a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. No wonder Shi Yi could crush Quasi-Immortal Emperors.

"You have only temporarily entered this realm. You must cherish your time and try to understand the various aspects of this realm until you permanently reside in the Immortal Embryo. In this way, you will have the foundation to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm," Shi Yi reminded him.

Shi Hao nodded, not daring to delay, and immediately began a deeper level of cultivation.

Sure enough, after a while, this state subsided, and he returned to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, unable to maintain it consistently.

It will take quite a while before you can get in again.

Within Shi Yi's forbidden sea of ​​suffering, in the area between the eighth and ninth Dao Beacons, his spirit and energy guided the future Dao Flower, peeling away layers of mist and sailing swiftly.

On the future Dao Flower at this moment, there are some symbols of the Immortal Emperor's domain engraved, which greatly accelerates the speed of travel. These are the results of Shi Yi's years of refining the Immortal Emperor's scriptures.

He's really close to becoming an Immortal Emperor; he's just one thin layer of paper away from breaking through.

In the distance, Shi Yi could already see the ninth landmark, which was located on the endless ocean and was a necessary route to the other side.

He estimated that if he could strive for another tens of thousands of years, he would be close enough to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

However, he wouldn't be so reckless. He would wait for Shi Hao to join him, because when he tried to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, he would inevitably awaken the Corpse Immortal Emperor, which would attract a calamity.

If he could attempt to become an Immortal Emperor alongside Shi Hao, the Corpse Immortal Emperor would undoubtedly choose to kill Shi Hao first, given the choice between the two. This is because Shi Hao possesses the Great Luo Sword Embryo, which was forged by the Corpse Immortal Emperor and contains his fragmented pure flesh and blood. To restore his complete form, he needs to release it.

From any perspective, Shi Hao is the primary target for attack, and Shi Hao's "Transformation of Freedom" technique also needs this strike to be completed.

"I'm sorry, little brother, this is the last time," Shi Yi murmured to himself. This time, all he could do was shield his brother before him. (End of Chapter)
