I am the first emperor of the ancient times

"There's still a variable!"

The bizarre progenitors exchanged glances, their eyes filled with disbelief.

While others were unaware of this aura, they were perfectly clear that someone was about to break through to the Sacrifice Path.

Their gazes were all fixed on the white-clad figure on the Bridge of Life and Death, and they all knew that it was the Empress who was about to break through.

Now, three priests have emerged in the myriad realms, which has already made them feel threatened.

If the Empress can also break through, the Desolate Emperor's side will have another powerful sacrificial cultivator!
This was undoubtedly a huge threat to them, so how could they allow the other side to break through?

Looking at the Empress on the Bridge of Life and Death, Ying Hao also showed a relieved smile.

Back when they last met at the Bridge of Life and Death, the Ruthless Great Emperor was only one step away from achieving the Sacrifice Dao, and could cross that realm at any moment.

With his guidance, it's a foregone conclusion that the Ruthless Great Emperor will advance even further.

In other words, if the Ruthless Great Emperor wanted to break through, it would be no difficulty at all.

However, in order to avoid being discovered by the strange race in advance, they had already discussed everything and prepared to let the Ruthless Great Emperor break through at the right time.

But now, the final battle is about to begin, which is the best time for the Empress to break through.

"Variables are just variables. Even if there is one more, destiny is still on our side."

"Now that we have recovered, we should extinguish all crises. Do you really think he has a chance to reach a higher realm?" the eerie ancestor said coldly.

They had regained their previous calm, but the murderous intent in their words had become even more pronounced, almost tangible.

The situation had indeed developed in a way they hadn't expected, and the fact that the Empress was about to break through was even more unexpected.

However, they were ultimately ten ancestors working together, and the Empress still hadn't broken through to the Sacrifice Dao level. They couldn't just stand by and watch her break through.

This time, they intend to nip the Empress in the bud before annihilating Ying Hao and the rest of the group.

"We'd like to see if you have the ability," Ying Hao said calmly.

How could he not understand the confidence of the strange progenitors? For countless ages, the strange race had never had any rivals and had never taken the beings of the myriad worlds seriously.

Even when they sensed the crisis this time, the progenitors all came out, believing they could resolve all the variables.

But since he dared to let the Ruthless Great Emperor break through at this moment, he must have made thorough preparations.

Moreover, the Bridge of Life and Death is a wondrous artifact that can delay things for a certain period of time, which is why they chose to have the Empress break through on the Bridge of Life and Death.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ruthless Emperor unleashed his most dazzling brilliance, his white robes fluttering, exuding unparalleled grace.

The terrifying power surged across countless ages, showering down light throughout the past, present, and future.

The Ruthless Great Emperor was burning the Great Dao amidst endless rain of light; she was exerting all her strength to take another step forward!
"Insolence! Do you really think we don't exist? With the Ancestors all appearing, everything was already predetermined, and you have no chance of survival!" The eerie Ancestor sneered.

Their gazes were fixed on the Ruthless Emperor, filled with the same terrifying killing intent.

As he spoke, the entire river of time boiled over, and the ancient coffin began to tremble under the shocked and horrified gazes of countless living beings.

They exuded an aura of ominousness, making them appear increasingly bizarre, unpredictable, and terrifying.

Each ancient coffin is extraordinary; some are full of life, covered with branches and adorned with brilliant leaves, each capable of containing a truly complete piece of the universe.

Some of the strange artifacts were forged from hundreds or even thousands of different types of mother metal, far exceeding their limits and being truly incredible objects. The Great Dao itself burned away on the ancient coffins, turning into nothingness, and time could not leave any trace upon them.

The ten ancient coffins trembled simultaneously, each opening a corner of its shell, releasing unique and special substances that cascaded over the ancestor's body.

Everything happened in an instant. The ten ancient coffins each released unimaginable amounts of ashes, making the ten ancestors even more terrifying and horrifying.

At this moment, all living beings in the myriad realms were filled with trepidation, their faces etched with fear, and they felt an immense sense of oppression in their hearts.

Back then, when Emperor Ye Tian confronted that strange ancestor, the strange ancestor manifested an ancient coffin.

They all understood that this was the full glory of the Ominous Ancestor, and the Ominous Ancestor prevented the Empress from breaking through.

But things are different now. There are now ten strange ancestors, and the Empress, who is currently breaking through, has no time to intervene. Only the three, including the Jade Emperor, can stop them.

Three against ten, no one thought that three Heavenly Emperors could hold off ten strange progenitors.

Just as all living beings in the world were filled with anxiety, the three strange progenitors finally made their move. They took a step forward together and headed towards the Bridge of Life and Death, intending to suppress the Empress.

Their faces contorted sharply, as if they were enduring immense pain, being consumed by an overwhelming power; even they couldn't help but show such an expression.

But the next moment, a figure blocked the way for the three ancestors; it was Huang.

"If you want to make a move, you'll have to get past me first!"

Huang remained silent and calm, raising the sword embryo with one hand, its blade pointing directly at the three eerie progenitors.

“Very well, a period of time has passed. Desolate, let us see just how strong you really are?” the eerie progenitor said.

They had confronted the Desolate Emperor for a long time, but since ancient times, they have always been fighting against the Desolate Emperor's blood essence incarnation.

Now, facing Huang once again, they also want to see just how strong Huang really is.
One of the ancestors held an iron rod, which was pitted and dented, and exuded a terrifying aura.

Such a weapon is so powerful that even the chains of the Great Dao cannot get close to it; it is a deadly weapon that has transcended the "Dao"!

The iron rod seemed capable of crushing countless years, and it still bore traces of imperial blood that had not yet dried. These were left behind by immortal emperors who had fallen countless eras ago, foreshadowing the end of an era.

Another ancestor transformed into mist and haze, his entire body covered in golden scales as the fog churned.

A golden, ominous fog surged, each movement enough to shatter a part of the evolutionary path.

As for the third progenitor, he also made a move, his snow-white blade light covering all the heavens and myriad realms, together slaying the desolate wilderness.

However, Huang remained calm and composed. A blinding light flashed as the dancing sword embryo collided with various techniques.

The unparalleled sword light severed all things, shattered the primordial chaos, and swept away all the methods of the three progenitors.

Huang single-handedly stopped the three progenitors, displaying the same bravery and terrifying power as before.

The battle was extremely fierce, with the ominous blood of the three progenitors splattering everywhere, and Huang's body also bleeding profusely.

At this moment, the other ancestors were not idle either. The other three ancestors took a step forward, intending to step onto the Bridge of Life and Death.

"Your opponent is me!" Ye Fan sneered.

He came to Huang's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, facing the other three strange progenitors.

After countless years, Ye Fan once again launched an all-out attack to stop the Ancestor and help the Empress break through. (End of Chapter)
