Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

"It's nothing... I just think... the three of you look delicious."

Gu Changjin finished speaking.

The starry sky suddenly fell silent.

The burly supreme being was stunned for a moment, then, as if he had heard something extremely ridiculous, he threw his head back and laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Laughter rolled across the Milky Way, causing several ancient stars nearby, long since devoid of life, to tremble violently, and their surfaces to crack open with deep, bottomless ravines.

The other two Supreme Beings were initially wary, but upon hearing Gu Changjin's words, the inexplicable unease in their hearts quickly dissipated.

He was just a madman.

Also.

A newly established emperor who has just attained enlightenment and whose own imperial path is not yet fully stable.

It's not surprising that someone who suddenly finds themselves at the highest point in the universe might develop a bit of arrogance, unaware of their own limitations.

The supreme being, clad in ancient armor, slowly shook his head.

"young people."

"It seems you have no idea what you're facing."

Gu Changjin looked up at him.

However, the Supreme Armor Warrior was in no hurry to make a move.

He lived for far too long and truly reigned over an era.

In his eyes, the person before him was nothing more than a lucky latecomer who had seized the throne ahead of time.

"When a great emperor first attains enlightenment, it is at his weakest point."

"The imperial way is not yet stable, the will of Heaven is not yet aligned, and he has not even fully adapted to the changes occurring within his body."

"If I were given another thousand years... no... a hundred years... I might still back down when I see you."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched the tattered armor on his body, a hint of nostalgia gradually appearing in his eyes.

"Unfortunately, you won't have that chance."

"I was once an emperor myself. Today, I can personally sever the head of an emperor and bring it back to the Immortal Mountain."

"I suppose it's a pretty good piece of collectibles."

Upon hearing this, the white-haired woman smiled faintly.

"Your head is mine, but the emperor's blood is mine."

"It has been far too long since I have tasted fresh imperial blood."

Finally, the burly supreme being stretched his shoulders, and a series of rapid explosions emanated from his body.

With just a slight circulation of qi and blood, the surrounding void began to collapse on a large scale.

"Then I will devour his Great Dao Origin."

"He barely became an emperor at the age of three thousand five hundred. Although his blood and energy are a bit old, he is still an emperor of this era. I suppose he can still be consumed."

In just a few words, the three of them had already thoroughly divided Gu Changjin's identity.

Gu Changjin stood there, shaking his head helplessly.

No, have these three old men misunderstood something?

Do I really look that much like a dead person?

He just said those three are delicious.

It wasn't mockery, nor was it for the sake of verbal sparring.

But these three guys are really delicious.

From the moment the strange activity appeared on the Immortal Mountain, Gu Changjin had already noticed them.

After merging with the Heavenly Dao Emperor Seal, all the myriad paths of the universe became one with him.

The fluctuations generated when the three supreme beings awakened from the divine source could not escape his perception at all.

They even knew which ancient life-bearing stars they stopped on along the way, how much life essence they extracted, and how much of the origin of living beings they devoured.

Gu Changjin could see everything clearly.

If he wanted to, he could naturally intervene in advance to stop it.

But why stop it?

After the life essence entered the bodies of the three supreme beings, it was not immediately consumed.

The vast majority of their power remains deposited within their decaying flesh and blood and the Great Dao.

in other words.

The three of them had traveled a long and arduous journey.

He also collected all the life essence scattered across different star regions for him.

Now it's been delivered to me on its own initiative.

Gu Changjin's gaze swept over the three of them one by one.

The "Burial of Heaven and Devouring of the Dao Scripture" has already begun to operate on its own.

He could even see, deep within the three decaying imperial bodies, clusters of vibrant life force that had not yet been completely refined.

There is also the Great Dao essence that they once severed but still retains within their bodies.

Those are all readily available resources.

Devouring the three people will not only completely solidify his newly broken-through Emperor realm, but also...

Perhaps, it can even allow the "Burial of Heaven and Devouring of the Dao Scripture" to take another big step forward.

Thinking about this...

The light in Gu Changjin's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

The three supreme beings noticed his gaze, and their expressions simultaneously turned cold.

The armored supreme being took another step forward.

"Even when death is imminent, they still dare to play tricks."

An ancient halberd, covered in cracks, slowly fell into his hand from the depths of the void.

The halberd was broken, but the moment he grasped it, the entire sea of ​​stars seemed to be sliced ​​in two by some invisible sharpness.

The white-haired woman also raised her hand, and countless silver chains descended from the depths of the starry river.

Each of the divine chains is wrapped with Great Dao runes powerful enough to suppress a Quasi-Emperor.

The burly supreme being did not draw his weapon, but slowly clenched his fist. Countless stars behind him dimmed at the same time, and the immense power of the stars continuously surged into his body.

Three ancient auras, once truly proving the Dao, completely locked onto Gu Changjin.

"Are you done talking?"

Gu Changjin finally spoke.

The Armored Supreme narrowed his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Changjin smiled.

"Now that we've finished talking, let's sit down and eat."

The words fell.

The darkness behind him suddenly expanded!

The darkness simply spread outwards quietly, extinguishing starlight and causing all things to retreat. Even the originally surging Emperor-level laws around it seemed to be swallowed up by something.

The three supreme beings' expressions changed slightly.

But it was too late.

In the blink of an eye, the entire battlefield, along with the four Emperor-level beings, was swallowed up by boundless darkness.

All divine thoughts that came from the outside world lost their connection the moment they touched the edge of darkness.

No one can see what's happening inside.

All that could be heard were muffled rumbling sounds emanating from the deepest part of the darkness.

boom!

The first sound rang out.

All stars in the nearby star system simultaneously deviated from their original trajectories.

Boom!

The second sound faded.

A rift stretching billions of miles across the starry sea, beyond which lay not spatial turbulence, but still darkness.

Immediately afterwards, the halberds neighed, the divine chains vibrated, and a low growl, like that of an ancient ferocious beast wounded, flashed by.

The entire universe fell silent. Countless powerful beings stared intently at the darkness, but no one dared to bring their divine senses close again.

Beyond the ancient stars, the aged cultivator at the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor had an extremely solemn expression.

The middle-aged man in black beside him slowly shook his head.

"It's no use, the three supreme beings are attacking together."

"This new emperor cannot win."

The old man remained silent for a moment.

"But he has already become emperor."

"So what if he's the Emperor of Proof?"

The middle-aged man in black sneered.

"If he were a fully-fledged emperor, suppressing a supreme being from a forbidden zone would naturally be easy."

"But he has only just fused with the Heavenly Dao Emperor Seal."

"Moreover, he is already three thousand five hundred years old."

"When the body's vital energy and blood decline, the foundation of health deteriorates."

"Even if one forcibly suppresses all other paths by relying on that bizarre method of devouring the Great Dao, how much real experience in imperial battles can one truly possess?"

Many quasi-emperors around him nodded secretly.

This is also the judgment of the vast majority of powerful beings in the entire universe.

The new emperor is too old.

It appeared too suddenly.

He did not sweep across the imperial path, nor did he engage in life-or-death battles with the other geniuses of his generation.

Before this, not many people had even heard of him.

Now, out of the blue, he has become the emperor.

No matter how you look at it, some emperors' positions seem disproportionate to their own background and capabilities.

In another star field, in the ancestral hall of a supreme holy land, several white-haired elders were also gazing at the dark battlefield projected in mid-air.

"In the past, when a new emperor attained enlightenment, it would at most attract one or two supreme beings to test him."

"This time, three of them actually came."

"It's not because he's too weak, but because he appeared at the worst possible time."

The voice of the holy land patriarch at the head of the table was deep.

"The imperial path has not yet truly begun, and the signs of a magnificent era have only just begun to emerge."

"The various forbidden zones, imperial clans, and ancient lineages have been laying the groundwork for this era for far too long."

"But the great era has not yet begun."

"The throne was seized by someone who appeared out of nowhere."

"Countless millennia of planning have been reduced to nothing but flowing water."

The people inside the hall remained silent.

No wonder the Immortal Mountain produced three supreme beings at once.

This is not just a test, but a way to wipe this person who disrupted all the plans out of the world.

Time passed slowly, the rumbling in the darkness grew more intense, and the entire area began to tremble violently. Suddenly, a crack appeared at the edge of the darkness.

Someone's eyes lit up.

"It's going to break!"

"The three supreme beings are about to break through that domain!"

More and more cracks are appearing.

Crimson gold divine light, silver laws, and vast blood energy simultaneously emanated from behind the crack.

Everyone's spirits lifted.

As expected, the new emperor was ultimately no match for the combined might of the three supreme beings.

Just then, the aged quasi-emperor seemed to have seen something and suddenly took a step forward.

"No!"

For the first time, his voice carried an undisguised shock.

"Look, everyone!"

boom!

The Dark Realm was opened up by the combined power of the three supreme beings.

The scenes of the battlefield finally reappeared before the eyes of all.

All sounds ceased at that moment.

The armored supreme being stood on the left, his ancient armor mostly shattered, his right shoulder almost completely collapsed, and imperial blood dripping continuously down the broken armor plates.

The white-haired woman was pale, with one arm hanging unnaturally at her side, and a streak of blood still lingered at the corner of her mouth.

The last, most physically powerful, burly supreme being had a clear fist mark in the center of his chest. Around the fist mark, large patches of flesh had disappeared, as if something had bitten off a chunk of it.

All three supreme players in the penalty area are injured!

In the center of them, Gu Changjin still stood with his hands behind his back.

His long black hair fell down, and his expression was calm.

Don't mention being injured.

Even the hem of her clothes wasn't messed up at all.
