Chapter 1974: Chapter 1839: Peak of the Nine Heavens Mystic Crown

Emperor Weapons!

Each one is unique, an alternative continuation of a Great Emperor’s life!

At this moment, two Human-shaped creatures in the Quasi-Emperor Realm appeared, each holding an inherited Emperor Weapon in their hands, intent on suppressing the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The two Quasi-Emperor Level Human-shaped creatures’ Mana surged to the heavens as they directly activated the Emperor Weapons, unleashing a terrifying Great Emperor’s Might.

Elder Xuan was utterly unafraid, but he did not choose to meet it head-on; his figure flickered into illusion, merging himself completely with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown.

He himself was the Artifact Spirit of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown; only in this state could he unleash the crown’s true power.

The two Emperor Weapons pressed down on the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown at the same time, wanting to subdue it and thereby study the secrets of the Human Emperor.

Two Emperor Weapons appeared together, jointly suppressing another; it was a scene that made one’s soul tremble. Even the nine Quasi-Emperors couldn’t help but be shaken with fear, all falling utterly silent like cicadas in winter.

This heaven and earth was on the verge of collapse. Invisible pressure swept out, as if sun, moon, and stars were all suppressed; everything quivered beneath the Emperor’s Might.

"Boom!"

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown suddenly erupted with ten thousand zhang of radiance, like a blazing sun, its Golden Light dazzling.

Then, behind the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, a shadow appeared—tall and burly, yet extremely hazy, its features impossible to make out.

"Pu!"

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown unleashed a single strike, blasting the two revived Emperor Weapons away, then pressed down toward the ground. Under its suppression, one of the Quasi-Emperors exploded on the spot, turning into drifting ash.

"No..."

Mo Dongtian and the others’ eyes went red, yet they did not dare to receive it head-on, each one fleeing for their lives.

Moments ago, they had been so high and mighty; now they were like dogs with their homes destroyed, living in constant terror!

"Boom!"

With a single strike from the Emperor Weapon, this great domain was pierced through in an instant, leaving a horrifying gaping hole; no one knew how many Human-shaped creatures died without even knowing why at that very moment!

Yet the two Quasi-Emperors controlling the Emperor Weapons did not move to block it; they were completely stunned.

Because the shadow manifested behind the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown was actually a Human Emperor, something they found utterly inconceivable.

However, they quickly reacted, driving their Emperor Weapons to strike at the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, trying to stop it from slaughtering the Human-shaped creatures in this domain.

"Swish!"

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown seemed to pierce through the Void itself, slipping past the suppression of the two Emperor Weapons in that hair’s-breadth instant, and blasted toward the great mountain it had pierced before.

There were nine geniuses of the Demon Clan there; they had to be slain, or they would become a great calamity.

"No..."

Mo Dongtian roared, darting into the mountain’s belly as fast as lightning. With a sweep of his wide sleeve, he collected Baili Han and the others into his sleeve, then punched upward, his body smashing through the mountain’s interior as he fled in another direction.

"Boom!"

The entire mountain range vanished; under the full-force strike of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, nothing remained.

"No..."

The two Quasi-Emperor Level Human-shaped creatures roared, at any cost forcing the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown into the boundless outer starry sky for a duel.

Otherwise, if three Emperor Weapons clashed, this great domain might very well be beaten into the depths and cease to exist, something they absolutely did not wish to see.

"Boom!"

This time, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown did not evade, but traded a direct blow with one of the Emperor Weapons!

"Bang!"

A terrifying wave surged across a million li. That green sun hanging in the sky instantly detonated, shattering into a rain of Flowing Light that plummeted down.

"Ah..."

The two Quasi-Emperor Level Human-shaped creatures’ hair was in wild disarray, their entire bodies covered in gleaming scales as they strained with all their might to hold it back.

A fully revived Emperor Weapon was unimaginably terrifying; the ripples it emitted alone shattered the surrounding mountain ranges in vast swaths.

Many strong people among the Human-shaped creatures turned to ash beneath a single strike from the Emperor Weapons, without even having time to groan.

For the Human-shaped creatures of this domain, this was a great calamity; the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown seemed like a Great Emperor revived, displaying horrifying might.

Gradually, the shadow behind the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown grew dimmer and dimmer, as though it could vanish at any moment.

"Attack!"

"We must leave it behind!"

The two Quasi-Emperor Level Human-shaped creatures roared, each driving the Emperor Weapon in their hands and unleashing a terrifying strike.

"Bang!"

The radiance of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown dimmed, blasted thousands of li away; entire stretches of mountain range collapsed, countless Human-shaped creatures dying without a trace.

The other eight Quasi-Emperors were also fleeing in utter embarrassment, not daring to brush against its edge even lightly!

The entire great domain was almost completely ruined, even the Stars in the sky being blasted apart one after another.

Yet Elder Xuan knew he could not hold on much longer. Without vast Divine Power to drive it, for the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown to persist this long on its own energy alone was already no small miracle.

Just then, a Great Emperor Level fluctuation suddenly spread from another great domain, as though a Great Emperor had awakened.

"Awoo..."

In a certain great domain, a man ten thousand zhang tall stood up and howled to the heavens. Countless Stars exploded, unable to withstand his single roar.

The entire domain shook; within tens of thousands of li, Human-shaped creatures turned directly into ash without even a groan.

"Swish!"

He stepped out as though crossing space itself, in a single stride arriving above this great domain, a pair of icy eyes locking firmly onto the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown.

...

Tens of thousands of light-years away, within a region of chaotic starry currents, after repeatedly crossing the Void, Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf finally stopped on a desolate planet.

This was a completely unfamiliar Star Domain. They had no idea where they had arrived, even less where the road ahead lay.

They were already lost in the boundless universe.

"I don’t know how Elder Xuan is doing!"

Ye Fan was extremely worried, deeply concerned about Elder Xuan’s safety.

Although Elder Xuan was only the Artifact Spirit of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, to Ye Fan he was still one of the most important people in his life.

If Elder Xuan hadn’t, at the critical moment, blasted him and the Bai Yan wolf into the spacetime passage, he would likely already have died in the Human-shaped creatures’ lair.

"Relax, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown is an Emperor Weapon, forged from the hardest Immortal Gold. Even a Heavenly Tribulation can’t destroy it." The Bai Yan wolf consoled him.

"The Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown has fully recovered and can definitely unleash the might of a Great Emperor. Even if it can’t defeat the enemy, it can at least protect itself."

The Bai Yan wolf spoke with absolute confidence. It had once followed the Thunder Venerable master, so it naturally knew how terrifying an Emperor Weapon was once fully revived.

"But the Burial World is, after all, the lair of the Human-shaped creatures. Who knows what kind of terrifying existence is hidden there!"

Ye Fan’s heart was heavy with worry.

"Don’t think about it so much. Better worry about where we’re supposed to go from here!"

The Bai Yan wolf muttered, "We’re already lost in the vast universe outside. I don’t want to be some drifter wandering the cosmos. That’s not fun at all."

After resting for a while, they set out again, drifting aimlessly through the sea of stars.

Fortunately, Ye Fan was proficient in the Dragon Seeking Formulas and could locate some Divine Minerals on desolate planets, so they wouldn’t fall into a desperate situation due to a lack of Cultivation Resources.

Moreover, the Bai Yan wolf was well-versed in Array Patterns. As long as there were enough materials, it could even carve patterns capable of traversing Star Domains.

With the two working together, they drifted through the starry sky for a full month without encountering a single living creature. Cold and darkness were the eternal themes, and every Star was incomparably desolate.

"Buzz!"

The Void split open as Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf once again crossed the starry sky, descending onto an unremarkable Ancient Star.

"Looks like this is yet another desolate planet without the slightest sign of life!" The Bai Yan wolf muttered.

Ye Fan flew around the entire Ancient Star, hoping to find some Divine Minerals.

On the far side of this Ancient Star, Ye Fan suddenly discovered a Stele, and this discovery filled him with delight.

It had been three months without the slightest sign of life or trace of people, and now he had actually found a Stele. It was simply unbelievable.

Ye Fan hurried closer and found that this Stele was extremely tall, a hundred zhang high, like a small mountain peak.

Strange rune-like marks were carved into the Stele, like ghost talismans, hard to recognize.

"These are characters unique to the Human-shaped creatures. Don’t tell me we’ve looped back again?" After seeing the runes on the Stele, the Bai Yan wolf cried out in shock.

"You recognize the writing on this?"

Ye Fan was surprised; he hadn’t expected this Bai Yan wolf to have such an ability.

"Of course. Who am I? Under heaven and above earth, among the myriad Stars, only I am supreme. I’m the one who will one day Prove Dao as Demon Emperor. What could possibly stump me?" the Bai Yan wolf said proudly.

"Then take a look. What do these words say?" Ye Fan couldn’t be bothered to listen to its nonsense and asked anxiously.

"Let me see, let me take a careful look."

The Bai Yan wolf also became serious. This concerned their future path; there could be no carelessness.

Gradually, the Bai Yan wolf’s gaze grew solemn, then it bared its fangs and said, "I really did guess right. This Ancient Star is a node on the Xing Kong Gu Road. It’s a secret passage used by the Human-shaped creatures to infiltrate the Human Clan’s Ancient Star Path."

"Can it be reversed?" Ye Fan asked.

"What are you planning?" The Bai Yan wolf gave him a sidelong glance.

"Elder Xuan’s life and death are unknown. I want to go back and see."

"Are you insane? That place is definitely a dragon’s pool and tiger’s den right now. With your current strength, going there is nothing but suicide."

The Bai Yan wolf was shocked, then said, "Absolutely not. Besides, this route can’t be reversed; you can only go forward. Looks like those things never planned to let the Demon Clan’s young elites return alive."

This Stele was actually a huge altar. As long as it was activated with Demon Crystals, it could traverse the starry sky.

And if there was one thing Ye Fan had in abundance, it was Demon Crystals—more than enough.

Under the Bai Yan wolf’s guidance, Ye Fan inlaid the Demon Crystals. Then they stood atop the Stele, activated the altar, and traversed the Void.

In the boundless universe, planets were actually very rare. Most places were just Void where darkness and cold coexisted.

Although the Human Race of the Xuan Realm had already conquered many Star Domains, there were still swaths of starry sky that remained blank.

On a desolate Ancient Star, there were ring-shaped craters and massive boulders everywhere.

Only at the bottom of a very large ring-shaped crater was there a faint glow—that was a huge altar!

Around the crater, ten strong people were hidden behind the rocks.

Each of them was extremely powerful, their bodies radiating Golden Light, like Divine beings descending into the dust.

If Ye Fan were here, he would definitely recognize the black-haired, shoulder-length-haired young man at the head, whose eyes shone as bright as Stars—he was none other than the strongest heir of the Divine Race, the descendant of the War God—Jiang Kuang.

Standing beside Jiang Kuang were Ling Duyun and Yun Xiao.

They all had old scores to settle with Ye Fan!
