I am the first emperor of the ancient times

Chapter 273 Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, Goodbye Ye Fan!
Throughout the myriad realms, Ying Hao, guided by Ye Qingxian's essence and blood, is continuously moving forward along the connections within his bloodline.

On this day, Ying Hao finally sensed something; he sensed an extremely familiar aura.

That aura existed across endless distances of time and space, far beyond the myriad realms.

Such an aura is so distant that even a Celestial Emperor could not easily sense it. If he had not already reached the Sacrifice Dao realm, there would be absolutely no possibility of sensing it.

Immediately afterwards, he took a step forward, crossing time and space, traversing several ancient histories, and disappearing into the myriad realms.

His figure reappeared, having left the myriad realms and arrived at the end of the river of time, a place that was clearly a nameless void.

His gaze penetrated the void, penetrating this place where the torrent of time strangled everything, and landed on the source of that aura.

Two peerless figures were locked in combat, creating endless waves between them, which contained countless fragments of the Great Dao.

If these fragments were to scatter outside, they would be enough to give rise to a brand new evolutionary civilization.

One of them had a body covered in deep wounds, with blood splattered everywhere, giving one a chilling feeling.

This great battle seemed to have raged for countless years, spanning countless millennia, yet it never came to an end.

One of the figures stood tall and imposing, with black mist constantly rising and its form expanding, bursting open one universe after another.

The black mist filled him with instinctive disgust; it was indeed a strange substance, and the figure was clearly a strange progenitor.

The other figure confronting it was surging with boundless blood energy and was constantly roaring.

"The progenitor of the Weird is only capable of this much, not that great!"

Ying Hao was attracted by the aura of this figure, and this figure was none other than Ye Fan.

Boundless blood and qi boiled, strange substances surged as a great war unfolded, a brutal battle was underway.

Even though Ye Fan was covered in blood and his great path was riddled with wounds, he could not hide his extraordinary talent.

It is obvious that Ye Fan, who was able to fight against the strange progenitor, has reached the sacrificial realm after many years.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Ye Fan's talent is truly extraordinary, even comparable to that of the Desolate Emperor.

With so much time having passed, Ye Fan's breakthrough is almost a certainty.

Moreover, Ye Fan had refined rare treasures such as the Ancestral Witch's Blood Essence and the Sun God's Essence. It would be strange if he hadn't broken through to the Sacrifice Dao Realm.

Seeing Ye Fan and the strange progenitor locked in combat, Ying Hao had no intention of intervening.

"It's been years, and this kid is still as cunning as ever!" Ying Hao muttered to himself.

With just one glance, he noticed the unusual nature of this battle.

On the surface, Ye Fan is at a disadvantage in this battle and is even weakening.

Based on his understanding of Ye Fan, even if Ye Fan had just broken through, he was still capable of establishing himself in the Sacrifice Dao Realm. Facing a strange ancestor, he would never be in such a sorry state.

The reason for the current situation is that the one fighting against the Ancestor is not the real Ye Fan, but only Ye Fan's avatar.

It has to be said that Ye Fan is indeed cunning. Even after reaching the Sacrifice Dao realm, he is still no different from before.

However, this situation coincided with his and the Desolate Emperor's thoughts, which can be considered as great minds thinking alike.

Now that Ye Fan has broken through to the Sacrifice Dao, finding Ye Fan's true form is not an easy task.

Fortunately, he still possessed Ye Qingxian's essence blood. Using this essence blood as a guide, he could establish a bloodline connection and find the real Ye Fan. Following the faint connection within the essence blood, Ying Hao left the battlefield without the slightest hesitation.

With one step, he arrived at an indescribable place where time and space were imperceptible.

Everything seemed to be nonexistent; this was clearly a void, not belonging to the myriad realms, nor existing within the river of time.

The most striking features here are nine crystal-clear skeletons and a huge bronze coffin covered in green rust.

The skeleton was covered with runes, clearly showing nine crystal-white dragon bones. The ancient and heavy bronze coffin was engraved with the vicissitudes of time.

The two together create a strange scene; this is clearly the place where nine dragons pull a coffin.

The sound seemed to come from somewhere, yet also from nowhere, as if one could hear the sounds of ancient sacrifices, or perhaps the resounding cries of endless slaughter.

The next moment, a figure appeared in front of Ying Hao. As expected, it was Ye Fan, whom he had not seen for many years.

"Great Emperor, you really didn't die, and you even broke through to the Sacrifice Dao Realm!" Ye Fan said with a smile.

Upon seeing the Jade Emperor, his face was full of smiles, and he appeared extremely excited.

After achieving the Dao of Sacrifice, he also tried to find traces of the Jade Emperor.

No matter what methods he used or how he searched, he could not find any trace of the Jade Emperor, not even a single mark.

During that battle, although the Jade Emperor faced unimaginable crises, he always felt that the Jade Emperor was still alive.

In his view, the Jade Emperor's talent far surpassed theirs, so how could he fall so easily?
Today, upon seeing the Jade Emperor again, just as he had predicted, the Jade Emperor had not perished and had even broken through to the Sacrifice Dao Realm.

Of course, what surprised him even more was that the Jade Emperor himself was able to appear before him.

An existence like the Jade Emperor must be under the watchful eye of the mysterious progenitor; how could he easily reveal himself?
In order to get rid of the eerie progenitor, he went to great lengths and eventually had to hide in this place where nine dragons pull the coffin.

It should be noted that the Jade Emperor faced three mysterious progenitors back then.

It was already extremely difficult for him to get rid of one mysterious ancestor, so one can imagine how difficult it was for the Jade Emperor to deceive three mysterious ancestors.

But the Jade Emperor actually did it, walking freely through all the heavens and myriad realms, and even taking the initiative to come and see him.

He couldn't help but wonder what methods the Jade Emperor had used, or rather, how many steps the Jade Emperor had taken in the realm of sacrificial rituals.

However, when he thought about the miracles that the Jade Emperor had created over the years, he no longer clung to this matter.

Over countless ages, the Jade Emperor has created many unimaginable miracles, so it is reasonable that he has the means to deceive the three progenitors.

"It's been many years! Congratulations on your breakthrough to the Sacrifice Dao!" Ying Hao said with a smile.

Seeing familiar faces again and witnessing Ye Fan's progress filled him with great joy.

However, Ye Fan had also changed noticeably this time, appearing weathered and worn, just like the Desolate Emperor.

Without even asking, it's obvious that Ye Fan must have experienced a brutal battle over the years.

Ye Fan must have faced an extremely difficult situation and paid a price that is unimaginable to ordinary people before he reached the Sacrifice Dao Realm.

Of course, only Ye Fan himself knows how many life-threatening situations he has faced along the way.
