Chapter 2956: Emperor War, All Supreme Beings Arrive

Meteorites drifted through the void, gradually drawing closer to Taigu Lu.

Ye Chen, usually so composed, found himself growing uneasy—not out of fear that the foreign realm supreme beings would attack him directly, but worry that they might strike the meteorite under his feet. If it were destroyed, he would be as good as dead.

At that thought, he strained his eyes and targeted a Tianmo Di, intending to use his Shifang Huan Yu technique to swap their positions. Unfortunately, the vast expanse of illusion and nothingness between them rendered the secret art useless. It seemed some mysterious force in the void was blocking the position exchange.

When Shifang Huan Yu failed, he tried Tianzhao, aiming again at that same Tianmo Di, but it was equally ineffective.

"This is interesting."

Ye Chen stroked his chin and glanced around—up, down, left, and right. Clearly, any attack launched beyond the meteorite was blocked by that mysterious force, making all divine abilities and secret arts mere decorations.

So, his worries were unfounded after all. He couldn't attack the supreme beings on the other side, and they couldn't attack him either. The void and illusion between the meteorite and Taigu Lu served as his greatest shield.

Ye Chen laughed, his grin wide and mischievous. He stretched his neck with a satisfying crack. As long as the meteorite wasn't destroyed, everything else was manageable. Once it connected with Taigu Lu, the rest would be straightforward.

He was laughing, and so were the foreign realm supreme beings on the other side, licking their blood-red tongues with increasingly sinister smiles. Their eyes glowed with a terrifying crimson light. Knowing attacks were futile, they simply stood at the end of Taigu Lu, waiting for the meteorite to arrive and for Ye Chen to come to them. With so many supreme beings, how could they fail to defeat one minor Sheng Ti?

The scene was oddly amusing: on one side, the meteorite floated with Ye Chen standing atop it like a spear; on the other, the supreme beings lined up neatly at the end of Taigu Lu, as if welcoming their king. Both sides waited for the meteorite to merge with Taigu Lu—Ye Chen intent on destroying them, and they on destroying him.

Thus, their hopes aligned perfectly.

In the quiet wait, the meteorite continued its slow drift, frustrating everyone with its pace. It might have been fast, but perhaps due to the distance—whether a few hundred zhang or tens of thousands of li—the illusion in between made space feel irrelevant.

Ye Chen remained alone on the meteorite.

In contrast, Taigu Lu was crowded with foreign realm supreme beings, all seemingly drawn by the news. They were bored and looking for entertainment. This scene suggested that the various heavenly people on that segment of Taigu Lu had already been completely exterminated; otherwise, these beings wouldn't have the leisure to wander here.

Boom!

As Ye Chen watched, a thunderous boom echoed from the other side. Listening closely, it was the sound of footsteps landing. Perhaps the emperor's body was so massive that it shook the entire segment of Taigu Lu, with rolling demonic aura shrouding the road's end.

"Tian Di."

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, peering through the void and illusion to see a Tianmo Tian Di standing at the misty peak, gazing remotely in his direction. The emperor's eyes were filled with utter destruction.

Boom!

Another thunderous sound came from Taigu Lu. At the Tianmo Tian Di's side appeared another figure—not a Tian Di level being, but a genuine Di Dao Sheng Mo.

The two supreme beings, one on each side, laughed with mockery and amusement, standing at the misty peak and overlooking the illusory expanse below.

Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh at the sight. The lineup opposite him was even more formidable than the one he faced in his first life. Not counting the great emperors and Da Cheng Sheng Mo, just the presence of a Tian Di and a Di Dao Sheng Mo was enough to terrify. Any ordinary emperor would surely kneel before them.

However, he was no ordinary emperor. Once he set foot on Taigu Lu, it would become a feast tailored just for him.

At this critical moment, the meteorite proved uncooperative, ceasing its approach toward Taigu Lu and simply floating aimlessly.

Ye Chen felt frustrated, and so did the supreme beings on the other side.

This stalemate dragged on for an unknown time, with the meteorite showing no sign of moving closer. Across the void and illusion, no one dared to act rashly.

During this period, the Tian Di and Tianmo grew impatient. The Tianmo Tian Di even fired a bolt of pitch-black lightning from his brow, aiming to annihilate Ye Chen.

Regrettably, the lightning vanished the moment it left Taigu Lu, neutralized by that mysterious force. Even a Tian Di couldn't attack across the void.

In that instant, the female emperor of the ancient Tian Ting, secluded in Lingxiao Dian, slowly opened her eyes and glanced toward the vast sky. A faint immortal pattern flickered on her brow before she closed her eyes again, resuming her soul fusion.

Ye Chen suddenly felt a gentle breeze brush past, carrying a hint of a woman's fragrance. With it, the meteorite under his feet stopped wavering and began drifting toward Taigu Lu once more.

This time, it moved at an extraordinary speed, so fast that Ye Chen nearly lost his footing. The jade-like stone shot through the void like a beam of immortal light. Accompanied by a boom, it collided with Taigu Lu.

"Capture him alive."

The Tianmo Tian Di chuckled darkly, his words casual and playful.

No order was needed; the crowd of foreign realm supreme beings had already lunged forward.

"Capture your sister."

Ye Chen was incredibly agile. The moment the meteorite touched Taigu Lu, he leaped onto it and dashed deeper inside.

"Where do you think you're going?"

A Tianmo Di snorted coldly and struck down with a palm from above.

Ye Chen ignored it, his emperor body instantly phasing into vapor to evade the strike. With a single step, he crossed over a million li of territory. If a fight was inevitable, he needed a spacious area—not the end of Taigu Lu, where a fall would mean certain death.

"You won't escape."

That same Tianmo Di was the first to pursue, charging forward arrogantly and covering the sky with another palm.

Zheng!

Ye Chen's Lunhui Jian materialized in his hand, slashing through the palm print and sending the Tianmo Di flying. Before the emperor could steady himself, nine Shen Shang attacks had already struck, extinguishing him on the spot.

All of this happened in a flash. The foreign realm supreme beings arriving later—whether Tianmo, E Mo, Sheng Mo, Tianmo Tian Di, or Di Dao Sheng Mo—raised their eyebrows in surprise. Two moves to slay a great emperor? They had truly underestimated that minor Sheng Ti. It wasn't just any Sheng Ti; it was an emperor-proven Huang Gu Sheng Ti.

The most frustrated was the Tianmo Tian Di who had been slain—likely stunned in his final moments. Sometimes, being too eager could backfire; the early bird gets the worm, after all.

"Capture him alive."

The Tianmo Tian Di laughed mockingly, unfazed by the loss of a great emperor. Instead, his eyes showed a spark of excitement. Trapped on Taigu Lu for endless ages, they finally had a worthy opponent.

Compared to him, the Di Dao Sheng Mo's eyes burned with even more greed. He had a special affinity for Sheng Ti, especially one that had achieved emperorship. Devouring it would be a tremendous fortune.

"Capture him alive."

The great emperor-level supreme beings charged from all directions, each one sinister and violent. Losing one emperor meant little; they had numbers on their side.

At the same time, waves of emperor dao attacks rained down—palm prints, blade lights, visions, sword glows, and fist shadows filled the sky.

"A bunch of vermin."

Ye Chen sneered, using Meng Hui Qian Gu to vanish into a dream and reemerge, dodging the barrage of destruction. He closed in on a E Mo Di and, without a word, split him in two with a sword. Flipping his hand, he blasted apart a Da Cheng Sheng Mo's sacred body. Even with bloodline limits for regeneration, it was futile against him; a single punch obliterated the yuan shen. As another Tianmo Di thrust a spear, Ye Chen countered with a palm, extinguishing him.

Seal!

Two E Mo Di attacked from front and back, one forming a Qian Kun Yin and the other a Yin Yang Fa, both emperor dao seals.

Ye Chen activated his Ba Ti, his Lunhui Xian Jian expanding massively as he swept it horizontally, sending both emperors tumbling.

Forbidden!

From the east, west, south, and north came roars from four Tianmo Di, all pinching the same seal. Demonic light shot from their Tian Ling Gai, converging in the void to form a black sun. Its dark rays bathed the heavens, each one an emperor dao prohibition capable of sealing supreme beings.

Ye Chen didn't even glance up, raising his sword to shatter the seal and the black sun. The four Tianmo great emperors were hit by backlash, flipping through the air one after another.

"Suppress him!"

Four Da Cheng Sheng Mo bellowed, each occupying a direction and planting a massive banner in the void. Order chains slithered from the banners, forming a forbidden cage.

Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh. Such a seal might work on a Da Cheng Sheng Ti, but trying it on an emperor-proven Sheng Ti was laughable. The cage had barely formed when he punched through it with overwhelming force.

Dozens of foreign realm supreme beings gritted their teeth, jointly sealing the heavens and closing in from all sides, unleashing endless emperor dao immortal arts.

Roar!

A mighty dragon's roar followed as Ye Chen summoned the Ba Bu Tian Long. Any supreme being that charged in was struck by a divine dragon's tail sweep. Weaker ones like the E Mo Di had their emperor bodies exploded.

The sight of dozens of supreme beings soaring through the air was quite the spectacle.

No wonder they called Ye Da Di formidable—supreme beings in the eyes of the world were mere minions to him. Without a Tian Di level opponent, none could match him. He was far stronger than in his first life.

If he had this level of power ten thousand years ago, he wouldn't have died in that battle, nor would he have needed a hundred thousand divine generals to sacrifice themselves. One man alone could have wiped out all the foreign realm supreme beings. An emperor-proven Sheng Ti was no joke.

"Underestimated you."

The Di Dao Sheng Mo snorted coldly, unable to watch any longer. He descended from the void, manifesting a Mo Ta that enveloped Ye Chen. Inside the tower, lightning flashed and thunder roared, with order chains writhing like serpents—it was both an emperor dao seal and a destructive force.

"Seal me?"

Ye Chen's roar shook the heavens as he abruptly expanded his Hun Dun Jie, bursting the Mo Ta apart and forcing the Di Dao Sheng Mo back half a step, his face full of shock.

The Tianmo Tian Di frowned. Ye Chen's strength exceeded his expectations; even an emperor dao Sheng Mo had been repelled. Both were at the emperor level—one an emperor dao Sheng Ti, the other an emperor dao Sheng Mo—yet the Sheng Ti was overwhelmingly fierce.

"Interesting."

The Tianmo Tian Di sneered and attacked, summoning a sea of blood that surged with towering demonic aura, blotting out the sky and earth. Every wisp of blood qi felt as heavy as a mountain, making the universe hum, while beams of destructive light wove through it, capable of devouring an emperor in an instant.

Ye Chen was caught off guard and submerged immediately. The blood sea was sinister, carrying both corrosive and sealing powers. His golden divine glow was extinguished in a heartbeat by the blood qi.

Break!

Ye Chen swung his sword, cleaving through the blood sea and soaring out like a flood dragon.

Straight ahead, he collided with another Di Dao Tianmo, who wielded a Zhan Ge and smashed it down from the skies. Before it even landed, the heavens collapsed, and Taigu Lu trembled under its pressure.

Ye Chen didn't stand still to take the hit; he raised his sword to block.

Pound!

The clash of the Xian Jian and Zhan Ge rang out crisply, sparking brilliant flames and spreading waves of annihilating halo. Even the foreign realm supreme beings charging in were knocked back in droves.

In that same instant, chaos erupted in the universe. That terrifying, irresistible force surged again, sweeping toward them. Ye Chen, who had just steadied himself, and the foreign realm supreme beings, who had barely stabilized, were all thrown off balance, scattered to the four seas and eight wildernesses.
