Perfect Double Agent

The Immortal Realm was thus riddled with holes and nearly torn apart. Universe after universe was reduced to ruins, and the sun, moon, and stars all dimmed.

"Where is the Heavenly Emperor... Just because we were enemies, we spoke ill of him, and slandered him behind his back, does he no longer care about the affairs of our Three Realms...?" In their grief and despair, many people always think of the most powerful person in the world.

That man was the emperor of all the heavens and myriad realms, the emperor of all people. Among them, perhaps some had harbored murderous intentions, some had spoken disrespectfully, and some had even fought against that man in that era. It all seemed like yesterday.

But ever since the aliens moved away, they haven't inquired about anything that happened here.

Blood stained the air across all realms, and a tragic aura swirled around the twilight, presenting a scene of utter devastation. Who will save them? Who will lead the fight against darkness and restore light to the world?

The cries of all beings were mournful, and the Celestial King was moved, yet he remained silent. Not everyone has the world in their hearts, nor does everyone possess a compassionate heart.

In the past, the Immortal King was synonymous with ruthlessness, high above, sitting on the clouds, looking down on one era after another. Now, in order to become an Emperor, they fight with the dark creatures and try to seize the Emperor's Scripture, but few people care about them.

At any time, it is always those at the bottom who suffer. Shi Hao, who rose from humble beginnings, understands this deeply.

“I hear your sorrow, I rise in this era, and one day I will break the darkness.”

The group stood at the edge of a devastated battlefield, looking at the corpses lying on the ground, and sighed softly.

"I will become Emperor!"

The leader stood on the battlefield, covered in blood. His once shiny hair was now sticky and stained with blood. But he was imposing, his body upright, heavy and strong. His face was resolute and majestic, his composure tinged with the vicissitudes of life, and his weariness radiating an unwavering will that nothing could shake.

The two hundred thousand years of war were an unimaginable ordeal for him. The Dark Immortal King's frenzied attacks caused devastating damage to all realms.

But this couldn't defeat him, nor could it shake his heart.

"The time is too short," Old Wang advised. "Your foundation is too shallow; a hasty breakthrough will cause big problems."

"It's not short. It took Brother Ye 500,000 years to become an emperor, and I am now over 700,000 years old, while he is only four years older than me."

"Four years old..." The kings' throats choked with emotion. They wanted to say something, but they couldn't. It was a gap that made people despair. It was precisely because of the difference of only four years that the White Emperor's terror and horror were apparent. Even "amazing" was not enough to describe that person's glorious history. When one person was born, all the heroes mourned, and time and space paled in comparison.

Shi Hao remained calm about this. He was full of ambition and had no fear of the future. When his cultivation reached a certain level, he would naturally advance. He was not blindly pursuing becoming an emperor. On the contrary, he felt that he only lacked one transformation.

"Emperor Cheng... He shouldn't be far off." In the distant clouds, the two figures seemed to be non-existent. They stood there clearly, yet none of the kings noticed them.

"It'll be soon." Bai Ye nodded. As the Son of the Era and the once-in-a-millennium Desolate Emperor, Shi Hao's rise was unstoppable. However, compared to the past, there was less bitterness and more great battles, and he also had more followers.

"Where is the Boundary Sea? It seems that a being has become an Emperor over there." Gu Zu raised his eyes and gazed at the boundless sea. The waves were towering and the dark storm was howling. Compared to the past, the surging waves of the Boundary Sea made people feel oppressed, as if an invisible hand was pushing the waves.

"There's one, and the other will be here soon. Let's not worry about it for now. Our path is not to quell the rebellion, but to advance into the upper realm."

"That's true. It's good to treat it as a test for him. Even if he hadn't been resurrected, he would have felt gratified to see the current state of the Nine Heavens."

The two left, and reflecting the image was not so simple. Even though they mainly cultivated spacetime, which would reduce the difficulty, it was still no easy task. It was a forbidden power unique to Immortal Emperors, not something that Quasi-Immortal Emperors could use.

Before long, they arrived at a vast, ancient battlefield that had been sealed off from the heavens to the earth.

Fog filled the air, and the blood-red ground was littered with corpses, broken weapons, and the remains of great stars were everywhere. Even after an era had passed, a sense of devastation still lingered.

The endless cycle of reincarnation: back then, the body was wrapped in a horse's hide and sent back. The battlefield was not here, but in a foreign land. That place had long been destroyed, leaving only this battlefield to record the events of that year.

"Is there anything we need to prepare?" Gu Zu took a deep breath, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He took out an ancient corpse and placed it on the ground. It was the corpse of Reincarnation. After being killed back then, it was wrapped in a battle flag and sent back to the Nine Heavens along with Wu Zhong. Fortunately, it was not insulted by later generations. Later, when the Nine Heavens were attacked, Gu Zu secretly found it out.

"A corpse is enough, what else do you need to prepare? Do you want me to chop you up?" Bai Ye smiled, making Gu Zu smile as well.

“If necessary, you can still take action; no one will say you’re being disrespectful.”

"Then forget it. I have already reached the pinnacle of this realm and do not need your help anymore."

In fact, during those years of Daoist discourse, he was consolidating himself through this before beginning his Nirvana. If he wanted, he could break through to the Immortal Emperor realm now; it was simply a matter of the success rate.

Now he is further transforming his method. Every Immortal Emperor has his own unique method. Shi Hao's Transformation of Freedom, Ye Fan's Heavenly Emperor Fist, and Chu Feng's Heaven and Earth-Traversing Technique. The method is the ultimate manifestation of the Dao Fruit, and also the way in which the power of the physical body, primordial spirit, and the Great Dao is presented.

He is also doing this, integrating many methods, combining them all into one, and ultimately ascending to form his own invincible method, which allows him to pause briefly.

The Immortal Emperor embodies not quantity and complexity, but "oneness." All kinds of great power, all kinds of laws, and all kinds of potential return to "oneness." He transcends everything with oneness. This is the end of the road. He walks a path to perfection and becomes one from beginning to end.

As for the reflection, he had discussed it with the emperors. Although those guys were all quasi-immortal emperors, they had lived for a long time. Some of them had even come down from the plateau to guard the land of calamity. Others had been reflected more than once, like the Golden Emperor, a veteran of two dynasties. He knew some of it through constant exposure.

It wasn't that Shi Hao, a Celestial Emperor, wasn't strong; rather, he was unaware of it until he went to the Heavenly Realm and learned about this power.

Like Chu Feng, who possessed this power even during his Immortal Emperor days, as long as he wasn't killed by the Ancestor, he could still reflect it.

"boom!"

With a powerful stomp, Bai Ye unleashed a wave of energy that radiated outwards from him. Instantly, everything in this space-time began to rewind, time reversed, and all things went backward. Heaven and earth, corpses, and broken stars—everything was rewinding, as if defying the passage of time and entering that past space-time.

The world was shattered and mountains and rivers were destroyed. The shockwaves of the great war swept across the vast land, and the blood energy soared to the ninth heaven. It was as if an ancient history had been opened. There were true immortals roaring and killing, as well as ancient sages who would rather die than retreat. At the same time, there were also majestic figures being besieged by a group of kings.

It was a figure covered in blood, with six fused reincarnation discs above his head. Each step he took left a bloody mark, and every move he made burned his own life essence. Although his back remained upright and he stood firm, he was visibly exhausted.

Even the celestial king has his limits.

“Reincarnation…” the Gu Zu murmured.

"boom!"

Someone made their move; the brilliant laws of spacetime transformed into an unparalleled heavenly blade, like an eternal light, which beheaded the reincarnation amidst the encirclement and annihilation of the kings.

This attack completely brought the already exhausted cycle of reincarnation to its knees. At the same time, a light that even the Celestial King could not perceive scattered in all directions. Some of it disappeared with time and space, while some remained forever in this world.

That is the light of the soul, a special mark of a living being.

"Can it succeed..." Gu Zu was very uneasy. He had never dared to think of such a method before.

"Approaching!"

Bai Ye let out a low shout, his entire body glowing. The laws of time and space, primordial spirit power, physical strength, and all kinds of laws radiated the light of the great time and space, making him like a seed encased in a shell, and also making him seem to have taken another step forward, standing in a completely new forbidden realm.

At this moment, a transformative power emanated from him, so vast and boundless that it seemed to break free from the present world, causing the long river of time to become unstable, the past to fly by, the future to surge forward, and space and time to be reversed, even directly affecting his present self.

"solid!"

Bai Ye spoke, and a small figure appeared between his eyebrows, exuding an aura that could swallow the world and suppress all directions. He pointed to the past with one finger and to the future with the other. With a forceful pull of both hands, the past and the future seemed to appear as a blurry form, filling in the gaps and making him seem to be permanently fixed in place.

At the same time, Bai Ye continued to speak, reciting the mantra of time and space. Under this blessing, one after another soul light appeared in the void. Some came from ancient times, some from battlefields, and some from the current immortal realm, the boundary sea, and the nine heavens. All of them gathered in front of Bai Ye.

This was incredibly bizarre. Each point of light was like a photon, and the densely packed points of light flew in and converged in the present world, forming a blurry shape that resembled the Six Paths of Reincarnation King, but was much more illusory. Then, they all merged into the corpse.

"In my name, I call you back!"

The chanting of mantras continued, the words becoming law, accompanied by mysterious and unfathomable power, echoing throughout this ancient battlefield. It did not spread to the outside world, but this put immense pressure on Ye'er, causing her physical body to disintegrate and her primordial spirit to crack.

But as the mantras were uttered one after another, endless laws followed, time and space trembled, life and death alternated, and illusion and reality rotated. It was a kind of indescribable power, domineering and terrifying. With a single word, fate could be rewritten.

"Boom!"

The corpse shuddered, and light began to emanate from between its brows. Centered on its sea of ​​consciousness, the light rapidly spread throughout its body, bringing the once-dead corpse back to life, brimming with vitality.

Clearly, as life spread, the corpse gradually transformed from pale to normal blood and energy, and even the cold body was returning to normal body temperature. In fact, during this process, the heartbeat even started to revive.

After doing this, Bai Ye stepped back, his whole body swaying. His imposing body was riddled with cracks, eroded by domineering laws, making the wounds irreparable.

At the same time, he also possessed a backlash that caused his form to dim and blur, as if he were about to dissipate into the world.

"Backlash!" Gu Zu was shocked. He didn't bother to check on the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, but rushed forward to try to support Bai Ye.

"It's nothing, just the price of disrupting the passage of time," Bai Ye waved his hand.

Ascending to the Emperor's Path by borrowing the power of the Immortal Emperor is no easy feat. Moreover, since ancient times have reflected the present world, there is a price to pay. There is no such thing as taking shortcuts in this world. To achieve this, one must first make a sacrifice. He resurrected only a king. If it were all living beings, the price would be enough to cause his own death and annihilation.

"Let's go. He'll wake up soon, there shouldn't be any problems." Bai Ye raised his hand and threw down six fragments, which surrounded the Six Paths of Reincarnation King.

Just like how the King of Reincarnation always appeared back then, giving him a surprise each time, now they've given the King of Reincarnation a surprise too. What's with your obsessive turmoil? I've even resurrected the real person for you.

"Thank you for your hard work..." Looking at the young man's back, Gu Zu felt a lump in his throat. It was no longer him sheltering the other from the wind and rain, but the other fulfilling his long-cherished wish.

"Why are you saying all this? Isn't it pretentious? Besides, I'm not saving him; I'm undergoing another transformation."

Gu Zu smiled but didn't say much. Ye'er was just that kind of person. He wouldn't talk big or make empty promises, nor would he be unreliable. He had been mature since childhood, so he lacked the vigor that young people should have. But when Ye'er had the ability, he would do what he was supposed to do.

That is why this child has always been someone others can trust.

The two moved away from the area silently, leaving only the echoing of their heartbeats reverberating across the battlefield, each beat stronger than the last.

"call……"

Not long after, the corpse suddenly exhaled a breath of black, turbid air, and its tightly closed eyes slowly opened.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his confusion was tinged with pain, but the intense pain throughout his body made him frown.

He was so weak that he struggled to sit up, causing his body to crack and pop as if his joints hadn't moved for millennia, while old wounds began to ooze both filthy blood and fresh blood.

However, he had too little fresh blood in his body, and the loss of his strength made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Where is this...? Didn't I die...?" The figure looked up and saw the familiar six-cornered fragments. His gaze then swept across an ancient battlefield.

“Dead…dead for an epoch, I don’t know why, you are alive again…perhaps!” The ancient divine thoughts did not continue, it also woke up, but it remembered that it had been sleeping in the foreign land for hundreds of thousands of years, and had rarely woken up in the last few hundred thousand years. It never expected that it would see this scene as soon as it woke up.

The dead have come back to life—a feat defying the heavens! Even the creature couldn't help but frequently examine its master's body. Apart from being too weak and needing time to recover, the master had indeed truly been resurrected.

"Perhaps what?" The King of Six Paths of Reincarnation stared intently, pondering as well. Who possessed such means? Who could resurrect a dead person? At least he didn't recall any such ability existing in the world.

"It might be Emperor-level power," the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc murmured. Only one person could have left it here, so it wasn't hard to guess.

"An emperor? Does such a world exist...?"

"Yes, and more than one. Like that other realm, which has transcended the entire world, swept across all realms, and unified the world. Your old rival, Wu Shang, has even become an emperor!" The Six Paths Reincarnation Disk became excited at the mention of the other realm and kept talking.

"Wu Shang...becomes an Emperor!" The Six Paths Reincarnation King was shocked. He struggled to get up, his eyes scanning the world. If Wu Shang became an Emperor, would this world still exist?

After the defeat of the Immortal Ancients, is this era repeating their tragedy?

"Help me up..."

"Why are you getting up? Do you want to fight again? Isn't it better for you to lie down? You're injured, and if you can lie down, why get up?"

King of Reincarnation: "..."

Wait, when did your plate become so cheeky?

You described that foreign land as so terrifying, how could I possibly lie down there? Or did your dog switch you out?

And in the void at the ends of the earth, the Gu Zu, who had not completely left, almost burst out laughing when he heard what the Six Paths of Reincarnation said.

Bai Ye was glancing sideways; it was the first time he had ever seen a Gu Zu like this. He felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders, and his whole being was filled with joy, as if he had completely let go of the pent-up repression.

"Ye'er, do you think he'll question the meaning of life once he knows the truth?"

Gu Zu laughed and said, "Panzi makes sense. If you can lie down, why do you want to get up?"

Should we get up and continue delivering?

Chapter 666 I let you go undercover, but I didn't let you surpass me.
