Chapter 26 The Golden Crow Becomes Emperor, But Gets Beaten Up Instead
Compared to Ye Fan's feat of defeating the Stone Emperor in ten moves and sweeping away two forbidden zones, even if the Golden Crow could attain enlightenment, it would appear exceptionally dim and unworthy of such greed.
At this moment, another ancient emperor slowly spoke, seemingly to comfort him, but his tone carried a hint of sarcasm: "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be too angry. I believe that even if your human descendant Ye Fan fails to become a Great Emperor of this era, his combat strength and foundation will certainly not be weaker than that newly enlightened Golden Crow!"
Upon hearing this, all the ancient emperors present understood that while the words were ostensibly meant to comfort the Taiyin Holy Emperor, they were actually a veiled criticism of Ye Fan for ultimately missing out on the throne. No matter how strong he was, he had failed to obtain the position of the Great Emperor of the present era. Their words were full of jealousy and schadenfreude.
The Holy Emperor Taiyin's expression darkened, and he coldly snorted, his tone icy: "No need for you to trouble yourself, fellow Daoist!"
"Hmph, these old fogies are just jealous of the abundance of talent in our human race!"
The battle for immortality on the celestial path had reached a fever pitch. Ye Fan and the other supreme beings fought to the point of madness, risking their lives with every move and holding nothing back.
Even though he was targeted by several supreme beings, Ye Fan was still full of blood energy and vigorous with the Immortal Ascension Cauldron floating around him for protection.
Although he was in dire straits and narrowly escaped death several times during the fierce battle, he also gained a great deal.
The supreme imperial expert in the Immortal Mausoleum was on the verge of death, his aura weakened to the extreme; the White Tiger Daoist was also severely injured, his Dao foundation damaged, and his immortal robe stained with blood.
Beneath the heavens, all living beings were speechless with shock at this brutal supreme battle.
This was the first time they had ever witnessed such a fierce battle. Even when Ye Fan fought against the Carefree Celestial Venerable and killed the Stone Emperor in ten moves, it was never this brutal.
One of the supreme beings at the Emperor level perished in an instant, his corpse lying across the Immortal Path, blood mist filling the entire void, a chilling sight.
The forbidden zone of Ye Fan's time and space was now in an uproar.
The ancient emperor of the Immortal Tomb, who was killed in the heavens, was enraged. His divine sense surged, and his roar was as loud as thunder, echoing throughout the various forbidden zones: "Emperor of Ten Thousand Dragons, Daoist White Tiger, Ancient Emperor Blood Phoenix, Beast God! How dare you lay a hand on me! How despicable you are!"
"Hmph, on the path to immortality, everyone relies on their own abilities. If you, fellow Daoist, are not skilled enough and will perish in defeat, then stop your powerless rage here!"
Wanlonghuang spoke coldly, completely unconcerned about the question. With the opportunity to become an immortal before him, he could discard it all.
"That's absolutely right!"
The Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor echoed with a sneer, "Fellow Daoist Immortal Tomb, if this is all the strength you have, then you should obediently lie low for the rest of your life. Don't come out and embarrass yourself, lest you waste countless years and end up dying and disappearing."
The other supreme leaders in the restricted area remained silent, and no one stepped forward to mediate.
If contemporary cultivators covet the forbidden zone, they might temporarily unite to resist external enemies. But once it involves an ancient opportunity like the path to immortality, they will have to rely on their own methods, and the strong will prey on the weak. No one will give up the opportunity they have obtained just because of a question.
However, the secrets revealed in the sky also served as a reminder to them: it turned out that the Heavenly Gate on the path to immortality required the sacrifice of the bones and blood of those who had attained enlightenment, and there was more than one such person.
The scene in the sky continued to unfold, showing the old golden crow carrying countless imperial calamities, flapping its wings and speeding towards the Flying Immortal Star.
He was insatiable, wanting to secure his position as the current emperor and also to seize the opportunity to become an immortal, attempting to have both.
This scene thoroughly enraged all the supreme beings on the path to immortality, including Ye Fan. The group instantly put aside their grudges, reached a tacit understanding, and attacked together, using their respective forbidden methods, determined to kill the old Golden Crow in front of the Immortal Gate and use his imperial blood to complete the sacrifice for the Immortal Gate.
The fierce battle broke out instantly. Although the old Golden Crow was blessed by the Emperor Tribulation, it could not withstand the joint attack of several supreme beings. Its body was shattered three times in a row, its imperial blood splattered on the immortal path, its bones were broken and its tendons were fractured. In the end, it could only drag its broken body and flee in a sorry state, losing even the dignity of an emperor.
As the old Golden Crow's imperial blood spilled, the White Tiger Daoist actually took advantage of the situation to absorb the essence of this imperial blood, instantly restoring himself to his peak condition.
At the same time, the Heavenly Gate of the Path to Immortality slowly opened with the sacrifice of the Emperor's blood, and immortal light emanated, shaking the heavens.
Beneath the celestial canopy, all living beings were utterly dumbfounded, and a clamor erupted: "This is the current emperor? This is probably the most pathetic emperor in history!"
"Which of these great emperors of our time didn't dominate the universe and command the might of all races? Who among them has ever suffered such a humiliating defeat, being utterly annihilated and forced to flee in panic?"
"Who told him to be so greedy! If he had honestly sought enlightenment, he could have at least possessed the full power of a Great Emperor. But he insisted on coveting the opportunity to become an immortal, and as a result, he was defeated by several Supreme Beings working together. His very essence was damaged, and he's lucky to have escaped alive!"
"Haha, who knows, maybe his purpose in coming here is to sacrifice himself to open the path to immortality for everyone!"
"Ye Fan is too heaven-defying! A Great Emperor who was about to attain Dao, arriving with the Great Emperor Tribulation, was defeated by several Supreme Beings in just a few moves. And he was targeted by several Supreme Beings together, yet he has endured for so long. His combat power is simply outrageous!"
The ancient princes, including Huo Qizi, clapped and cheered as they watched this scene, their voices filled with satisfaction.
"That old Golden Crow deserves it! From now on, he'll probably be the weakest emperor in history!"
"He dared to covet his father's chance to become an immortal, and even wanted to seize Ye Fan's throne. Even if he hadn't died, he ended up in such a pathetic state; he deserved to die!"
On the other side of the universe, the old golden crow, now dormant as a divine egg, watched its own pathetic escape in the sky, its divine thoughts surging violently.
His rage nearly burst through the divine egg's restraints, and he roared through gritted teeth, "Damn it! These old bastards from the forbidden zone, and that brat Ye Fan, dared to join forces against me! I will avenge this!"
Before the celestial curtain continued to flow and transform into the Heavenly Gate of the Immortal Path, a stalemate had already formed.
All the supreme beings were blocked outside the Heavenly Gate. If they wanted to enter the Immortal Realm, they had to undergo the baptism of the Immortal Realm's laws to replace their original laws. This was the rule for entry into the Immortal Realm, and no one could violate it.
The Immortal Cauldron once attempted to forcefully break through the Heavenly Gate, but it was blasted away by the combined forces of several supreme beings. The immortal light on the cauldron dimmed, and it failed to shake the Heavenly Gate even slightly.
The supreme beings who had briefly joined forces have now turned against each other, each harboring their own ulterior motives and wary of one another. None of them are willing to take the first step, fearing that they will become stepping stones for others.
Unable to contain himself, Baihu Daoren took advantage of the moment when everyone was locked in a stalemate and suddenly rushed forward, trying to be the first to step into the Immortal Realm. However, he was instantly stopped by the other supreme beings who joined forces and unleashed their killing moves, which slammed into him.
The enormous white tiger's body exploded with a deafening roar, its imperial blood splattering everywhere. The remains, filled with endless hatred and rage, crashed back to their original spot, then struggled to reform. Its aura was violent, but it dared not advance rashly again.
The path to immortality has reached a dead end, with no one daring to attempt a replacement of the laws, and no one willing to let someone else take the lead.
