Hearing Overlord Ancestor's words, Beidou Great Emperor's aged eyes blazed with fury.
"Aren't you afraid that the Hegemon Body lineage will be scorned by all living beings in the Immortal Domain for billions of years?!"
Upon hearing Beidou Great Emperor's words, Overlord Ancestor suddenly burst into laughter, looking up at the sky.
"Hahaha, ridiculous!"
"The victor is king, the vanquished is villain."
"As long as I can obtain Immortal Material, and even step into the Gate to Immortality, who cares what future generations say!"
Overlord Ancestor was arrogant and domineering, his coldness deeply ingrained in his bones.
As long as he alone could achieve the Dao, who cared about others!
"You are beyond redemption!" Beidou Great Emperor's voice trembled slightly from anger.
"Beidou old man, in your current state, you are not a match for this Ancestor in a single move."
"Considering you fought to the death against a Great Emperor of the Forbidden Zone, leave now." Overlord Ancestor said indifferently.
He wasn't truly letting Beidou Great Emperor go out of the goodness of his heart.
After all, if a Great Emperor were sacrificed, the returns would be very substantial.
However, Beidou Great Emperor's identity was too sensitive, and he had accomplished such a feat for the Immortal Domain.
If he truly killed Beidou Great Emperor,
Then it probably wouldn't be as simple as just bearing infamy.
It would likely be difficult for him to get by in the Immortal Domain in the future.
But.
Beidou Great Emperor merely stood there.
"Beidou old man, I'll give you one last chance." Overlord Ancestor's eyes were chillingly cold.
Beidou Great Emperor said nothing more.
He stepped towards Overlord Ancestor, one step at a time.
With each step, his Qi grew stronger.
His originally hunched body gradually straightened.
His originally aged face even visibly grew younger at a rapid pace.
Finally…
After seven steps!
Beidou Great Emperor seemed to have returned to his prime, youthful state, with chiseled features, eyebrows rising to his temples, a heroic spirit, and a magnificent bearing!
He completely burned his remaining Emperor Origin!
This was a life-or-death battle!
"Overlord Ancestor, as long as I have a shred of strength, I will not allow you to cause more slaughter!"
The current Beidou Great Emperor's Qi was world-shaking, his righteousness reaching the heavens!
"Good, you refuse the path to Heaven, and instead barge into Hell!"
Overlord Ancestor also laughed in extreme anger, letting out a long roar as nine Hegemon Body divine forms appeared around him, shaking the heavens and the earth, trembling the universe!
Kill!
Killing intent soared to the clouds, and Overlord Ancestor clashed with Beidou Great Emperor, who had burned his Emperor Origin!
And in the extreme distance, some people also sensed it.
"It's Beidou Great Emperor, after killing a Great Emperor of the Forbidden Zone, he is now stopping Overlord Ancestor from committing more slaughter!"
"Who can go and help the Great Emperor? He is just an old man in his twilight years!"
Some Cultivators couldn't help but shed tears.
The battle there was earth-shattering, even the space was annihilated.
But all Cultivators felt an uneasy premonition in their hearts.
At a certain moment.
Suddenly, blood rain drifted across the heavens and earth!
Sorrowful elegies sounded.
It was as if phantoms of all living beings appeared, weeping, bidding farewell to a loyal and righteous hero.
"This is… the sign of an Emperor's demise…"
"No, impossible, could it be that the Great Emperor…"
Those Cultivators in the far distance felt a deep sorrow and grief.
And here, in the depths of the ruined Void Realm.
Beidou Great Emperor's body was shattered, covered in blood.
His appearance still remained young.
But the flame of life in his eyes had begun to gradually extinguish.
"Beidou, why did you have to do this?"
"You were never my opponent to begin with, and after expending a large amount of Emperor Origin to kill that Great Emperor of the Forbidden Zone,"
"Facing me is simply seeking death."
On the other side, Overlord Ancestor stood in the Void Realm, his expression indifferent.
He seemed unharmed, a stark contrast to the blood-soaked Beidou Great Emperor.
"Cough… Heh heh…"
Beidou Great Emperor coughed up blood.
As his life was about to end, he smiled instead.
"Death can be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather."
"This old man doesn't think he is that great, nor can he compare to existences like Wu Zhong, Langu, or the Great Achievement Saint Body, but…"
A startling divine light burst forth from Beidou Great Emperor's eyes!
"To die for the Immortal Domain, my heart has no regrets!"
Beidou Great Emperor completely burned himself, finally transforming into a thousand-zhang arrow!
This was an arrow shot with his life!
Whoosh!
After one arrow, the heavens and earth withered!
Pfft!
Blood bloomed.
Overlord Ancestor's figure rapidly retreated, a terrifying penetrating wound appearing on his chest.
This arrow had actually wounded his Hegemon Body Origin!
"Damn it!"
Overlord Ancestor's expression darkened.
He hadn't expected that a dying Emperor could still inflict such damage on him.
"Heh, Beidou Great Emperor, as naive as the past Sacred Bodies. However, I'll remember you."
Overlord Ancestor strode across the Void Realm, continuing his path of bloodbath.
And just as Beidou Great Emperor fell.
On the platform in Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, Jun Xiaoyao.
Suddenly felt his heart tremble.
His expression changed slightly.
"Xiaoyao, what's wrong?" Jiang Shengyi and Jiang Luoli asked.
Jun Xiaoyao remained silent, looking up at the sky.
Blood rain began to fall.
Throughout the heavens and earth, mournful music emanated, weeping for someone.
"This is the sign of an Emperor's demise, a Great Emperor has fallen, who is it?"
In the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, many Cultivators who had taken refuge there were filled with doubt.
"This… could it be…"
Jun Xiaoyao's mind suddenly trembled slightly.
Just then, outside the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, a large group of Cultivators arrived.
"Please, Young Master, save Beidou Great Emperor!"
"He fought to the death against a Great Emperor of the Forbidden Zone to save the living beings of our Luo Tian Immortal Domain, killed him, and then left directly."
These Cultivators arrived, tears on their faces.
They still thought that the current sign of an Emperor's demise originated from the Great Emperor of the Forbidden Zone who had been killed.
And afterwards, another astonishing piece of news arrived.
Beidou Great Emperor had fallen.
He was not killed by a Great Emperor from the Forbidden Zone, but by Overlord Ancestor!
"How could this be, Senior Beidou he…"
Upon hearing this news, the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, countless Cultivators, were in an uproar, unable to believe it.
Jun Xiaoyao's body also trembled.
Although he and Beidou Great Emperor didn't have a deep connection.
He actually highly respected this old man.
He was genuinely devoted to the Immortal Domain.
During the battle against the foreign lands, Beidou Great Emperor was also the first Great Emperor to appear and act.
And now, in this time of turmoil, he was again the first to act.
Now, he had sacrificed his own life.
"Beidou Great Emperor, how could this happen?"
"Why, why is Heaven so blind, allowing a beast like Overlord Ancestor to run rampant?!"
"In this era, who can step forward to stop the turmoil again?!"
Countless people shed tears for Beidou Great Emperor.
He was an old man worthy of everyone's remembrance.
His strength, among Emperor Realm Experts, was not considered too strong.
Nor could he compare to supreme existences like Wu Zhong, Langu, or the Great Achievement Saint Body.
But now, everyone who heard this news, without exception, placed Beidou Great Emperor on the same level as Wu Zhong and Langu.
As long as one is a hero, there is no distinction of high or low, noble or humble.
And after hearing this news, Jun Xiaoyao remained silent.
He was never one to be a hero.
But Beidou Great Emperor's death caused a pang of pain in his heart.
Jun Xiaoyao took a deep breath, looking around at Jiang Shengyi, Jiang Luoli, as well as his relatives like Jiang Rou and Jun Zhantian.
His voice was slow but firm.
"Everyone, I need to go to the Jun Emperor Court."
