An emperor in his later years is summoned by his sister to save the nation's fate.

For the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone, who was already old, weak, sick, and disabled and whose lifespan was running out, this sword was simply their nemesis!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The two clashed wildly in the starry sky, each exchange causing large areas of the void to collapse and entire star fields to be flattened.

The laws of the Great Dao were obliterated by the collision between the two.

Cang Yan originally thought that with the physical advantage of the Great Completion Overlord Body, he could directly smash Lu Li to pieces.

But to his horror, he discovered that Lu Li's physical body was in no way weaker than his!

Of the three major demonic arts that Lu Li cultivated, the White Bone Demonic Scripture was cultivated to its extreme. His bones had long since transformed into an indestructible supreme body, and he was not at a disadvantage in the face of a domineering body.

What made Cang Yan even more desperate was that, as they continued to fight, he not only failed to gain any advantage, but also realized with horror that the life force within his body was being frantically devoured and drained away by the dark red demonic blade in Lu Li's hand!

"Damn it! That knife is draining my life force!"

Cang Yan's face turned deathly pale, filled with panic. Under this devouring force, he couldn't even maintain his state of ultimate sublimation for a short time, and his aura began to drop at a visible speed.

"No... if we keep fighting, I'll die here!"

Cang Yan's eyes flashed violently. This once invincible emperor actually had the idea of ​​fleeing for his life at this moment.

He risked taking a fatal blow, then suddenly tore through the void, preparing to escape.

"Trying to run away?"

Lu Li had already seen through his intentions. He sneered and made a grabbing motion in the air with his left hand.

"Buzz!"

He instantly summoned another imperial weapon, the Human Emperor Banner.

This is his natal imperial weapon, which he has refined for thousands of years. The moment the Human Emperor Banner appears, it exudes a chilling aura that blots out the sky.

Countless mournful roars emanated from within, and the quasi-emperor spirits that Lu Li had once slain materialized and swept out, directly blocking the entire star field's escape route through the void.

"Stop him." Lu Li ordered the three divine generals, and the three demon lords, Jiuyou, Xuehe, and Baigu, immediately unleashed their peak combat power and attacked together to intercept him.

Although they were at the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, they could still manage to stall for a moment against a Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone whose aura was already declining and who was seriously injured.

This brief delay was fatal for Cangyan.

Cang Yan's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the two remaining quasi-emperors on the Overlord Ancestral Star.

He wanted to repeat his old trick, devouring their flesh and blood to forcibly prolong his life.

But Lu Li is faster.

"Whoosh!"

Lu Li took a step forward and arrived in an instant, unleashing a merciless slash with the Taiyin Immortal-Slaying Blade in his hand.

A dark red blade of light ripped through the starry sky, first grazing the necks of the two trembling, quasi-emperors with their domineering bodies.

Life is stripped away, and spirits are devoured!

The two quasi-emperors turned into dried corpses before they could even scream, their life force and souls completely absorbed by the Taiyin Immortal-Slaying Blade.

Having absorbed the essence of two quasi-emperors, the killing aura on the blade became even more intense and eerie.

"Eternal Night!" Cang Yan roared in despair and rage.

Surrounded by Lu Li, the current supreme emperor, and three quasi-emperors, he had nowhere to retreat or escape.

"Sending you on your way."

Lu Li's eyes were icy cold. He gripped the Taiyin Immortal-Slaying Blade with both hands, gathered all the laws within his body, and slashed fiercely at Cang Yan!

"boom!"

The ultimate killing blade light pierced through Cang Yan's perfected Overlord Body.

The supreme ruler of the forbidden zone, Cang Yan, fell on the spot!

At this moment, heaven and earth grieved together. A torrential rain of blood fell from the Xuan Tian Realm, and countless laws of the Great Dao broke in the void, emitting mournful cries.

A phantom image of the Purple Star Emperor fell from the sky, announcing the complete demise of a former great emperor.

Within the various forbidden zones of life, there was a deathly silence. The numerous supreme beings watched this scene with eyes filled with incomprehensible shock and bewilderment.

"Cang Yan... he's really dead?"

"He's reached the pinnacle of achievement! Even if he couldn't kill Eternal Night, how could he not even escape?"

"That crimson longsword in Yongye's hand, the one that slayed Cangyan... what kind of deadly weapon is it? Why do we, even across the starry sky, feel a piercing pain in our souls?"

Lu Li stared expressionlessly at Cang Yan's shattered corpse.

The Taiyin Immortal-Slaying Blade shone brightly with red light, forcibly extracting Cang Yan's unwilling imperial soul and swallowing it into the blade.

Having devoured the soul of an emperor, a mysterious purple imperial rune appeared on the blade of the Taiyin Immortal-Slaying Blade.

This means that it has absorbed the power of Azure Flame. In the future, when Lu Li uses this sword, he will even be able to project the illusory image of Azure Flame's perfected Overlord Body, turning it into part of the killing power.

After pacifying the battle, Lu Li's immense divine sense swept across the desolate and domineering ancestral star.

On this ancient star, which Cang Yan used to raise its blood food, there are almost no living creatures left.

But just as Lu Li was about to order the retreat, his consciousness paused slightly.

Deep within the ancestral star of the Overlord Body, Lu Li discovered a faint glimmer of life—a Great Sage who was sealed and imprisoned.

Moreover, judging from the other party's aura, this person is not a member of the Overlord Body lineage, and is even a semi-acquaintance that Lu Li knew before becoming an emperor.

The Ancestral Star of Overlords, the Dungeon.

This place is perpetually shrouded in darkness, and the air is thick with the stench of blood and decay.

Lu Li slowly descended the cold stone steps. At the deepest part of the dungeon, there was a cold pool.

On a stone pillar in the center of the icy pool, a woman was bound with a chain of divine locks. Her plain white dress was already stained with dark red blood.

She lowered her head, her long hair falling loosely, obscuring her face.

Despite having all her cultivation sealed and being weak, she still exuded a cold and aloof aura that kept strangers at bay.

This woman's name is Shen Miaoyin, and she has the cultivation level of a Great Sage at the ninth level.

Lu Li walked to the stone pillar, his gaze calmly sweeping over the chains that could lock the Great Sage's soul.

He simply pointed his fingers like a sword and casually swung them.

"Click—"

The seemingly indestructible chains of the gods broke one by one, like rotten wood.

With the seal broken, Shen Miaoyin collapsed forward, powerless.

But just as she was about to fall into the icy pool, a gentle magical force lifted her up and placed her on a dry stone slab.

Shen Miaoyin raised her head, her pale face, which was both cold and beautiful, carrying a hint of bewilderment and shock at surviving a disaster.

As she looked at the black-clad man standing with his hands behind his back, and felt the unparalleled, yet still profound and awe-inspiring, imperial majesty emanating from him, her pupils contracted sharply.

Even after many years, and even though Lu Li's appearance has changed, she would never mistake his aura as a demon emperor who reigns supreme for eternity.

"You are... the Eternal Night Emperor?"

Ignoring her injuries, Shen Miaoyin immediately knelt down and performed a deep bow: "Junior Shen Miaoyin thanks Senior for saving my life!"

Lu Li nodded slightly, his gaze falling on her, and asked, "Where is your master? Why were you imprisoned on the Ancestral Star of the Overlord Body?"

Upon hearing the words "Master," an undisguised sorrow instantly surfaced in Shen Miaoyin's usually cold eyes.
