In the Celestial Court of the Nine Heavens, a deathly silence had fallen.
The quiet was terrifying!
No one made a sound; all the cultivators wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
Even the mighty emperors had not anticipated such a dramatic turn of events.
They stared in utter astonishment at the figure within the Heavenly Emperor's realm.
Their faces were filled with shock. They no longer resembled the overlords of this world, but rather like children who had never seen the world, devoid of their usual imperial demeanor.
Their imperial might vanished, leaving only amazement.
After a long silence, the chaotic roar suddenly resounded through the clouds.
"That was a semi-immortal level Demon Emperor, how is this possible?"
"How could such an existence be defeated by the Emperor?"
"Inconceivable, truly inconceivable!"
"Even though we knew the Emperor's combat power was unrivaled, invincible in his realm, who could have thought his strength would reach such an outrageous level? This is a semi-immortal, not some common creature!"
"It's unbelievable; even an emperor must look up to a semi-immortal. Yet, in front of the Emperor, he had no ability to resist and was killed with a single strike!"
All the cultivators were in an uproar.
If the Emperor had struggled to defeat the semi-immortal Demon Emperor, they might not have been so shocked.
But the Emperor had crushed him effortlessly!
It was as if the Emperor wasn't facing a semi-immortal that could terrify the entire Myriad Spirit Continent, but rather an ant in the Dao Palace realm, easily crushed.
The fierce Demon Emperor was like a joke.
He died so suddenly, without leaving a last word.
How ridiculous was that?
In the past, the Emperor achieved his position through the Dao of Heaven, using heavenly laws.
Also on Demon Emperor Mountain, he had slain a demon emperor with quasi-emperor cultivation.
However, back then, the Emperor had struggled greatly to kill his opponent, even with the help of the Dao of Heaven and the divine power of the Heavenly Eye.
Now, the Emperor returned to Demon Emperor Mountain, achieving emperor status through the Dao of Humanity, facing a terrifying ancient emperor of the demon race, a semi-immortal. Yet, this time, the Emperor displayed unimaginable power.
He killed the semi-immortal with a single strike!
Could the Dao the Emperor practiced be so terrifying?
The cultivators were astonished, shocked by the Emperor's combat power and the path he had chosen.
It seemed that the Dao of Humanity the Emperor practiced was extremely terrifying.
Not only did his cultivation progress rapidly, but his combat power was also insanely powerful, surpassing even his previous heavenly cultivation.
The Emperor was simply inhuman!
Countless cultivators were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
They couldn't understand why the Emperor could master each Dao to the extreme, possessing talents and combat power beyond comprehension.
Someone couldn't help but sigh, "Now the Emperor has just broken through to the emperor realm and is already so terrifying. If he hadn't taken a step back and had chosen to proceed, achieving the final step to become a mortal immortal, how terrifying would he be?"
Upon hearing this, all the cultivators present felt a bone-chilling coldness.
Indeed, the Emperor had previously given up the opportunity to become an immortal.
Given the Emperor's monstrous talent and combat power, if he became a mortal immortal, would there be any enemies left for him on the Myriad Spirit Continent?
Even at the emperor level, the Emperor already seemed invincible. What about as a mortal immortal?
However, why did the Emperor not display such terrifying combat power during the war against the heavens?
At this moment, the Emperor could easily kill a semi-immortal. After so many years, even without becoming an immortal, he shouldn't be far off.
Moreover, the Emperor always carried the supreme celestial artifact, the Unbegotten Bell, yet he was easily suppressed.
Everything was filled with endless strangeness!
This war against the heavens seemed too smooth.
The cultivators felt a chilling sense of dread, thinking this event was filled with endless eeriness.
They feared the Emperor might open the Heavenly Emperor's realm and kill them all.
A cultivator said, "Could it be that the Emperor gave up the chance to become immortal because of this, leading to his inability to become a mortal immortal later?"
"After all, once such an opportunity is missed, it's unimaginably difficult to achieve again!"
Some cultivators started analyzing.
Many nodded in agreement.
Becoming immortal had always been a mysterious topic and the ultimate goal for countless people. Giving up the opportunity made it extremely hard to achieve again.
If not, with the Emperor's unparalleled talent, he would have become a mortal immortal long ago.
If the Emperor became immortal, the alliance against the heavens would be nothing to him.
Hearing these discussions, Ye Fan felt extremely uncomfortable.
The Emperor hadn't become immortal yet, which should be a great relief for him, but he couldn't feel happy. Instead, he felt ashamed and angry.
After all, he was the most dazzling and outstanding destined one in all ancient times! He had cultivated for so many years without finding any chance of becoming immortal, yet the Emperor had given up such a great opportunity.
Within the Heavenly Emperor's realm.
With the Demon Emperor slain, everything seemed settled.
The previous semi-immortal pressure vanished from the world.
However, a wisp of supreme will still lingered in this space, unable to dissipate for a long time.
As a semi-immortal, even in death, his will was hard to erase.
Even if his soul was shattered, a trace of his will could remain.
Chu Yang didn't want to pay any more attention to that lingering will. He walked towards the unconscious woman.
However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred!
In the heavens and earth, an immense power of laws began to gather, the will of the semi-immortal was incredibly terrifying and powerful.
This will manifested in the form of an extremely ferocious ghostly face in the sky.
The atmosphere was filled with an evil and malicious aura, permeating the entire Demon Emperor Mountain.
The remnant ghostly face stared at Chu Yang, letting out a blood-curdling roar.
"Chu Yang, I will make sure you wish you were dead!"
