25: The Immortal Emperor appears and launches a sneak attack!

As the cold system prompt sounded, the Void Realm by the Immortal Transformation Pool began to tremble violently. Streaks of dreamlike, nine-colored Immortal Qi cascaded from the void, intertwining to form a magnificent gateway leading to an unknown time and space.

Within the Chat Group, the atmosphere, which had been in a frenzy due to the accumulated points, reached its peak at this moment.

[Xiao Yan]: "It's open! It's open! The cross-boundary teleportation channel has really opened! My heavens, in my lifetime, I can actually witness a Mortal World Immortal transcend time and space. This kind of scene, even the appearance of a Dou Di, couldn't compare!"

[Luo Feng]: "The Law of time and space has completely collapsed at this moment. I can feel a power that transcends dimensional logic forcibly connecting two different Universe coordinates. The Group Master's authority is simply creator-level."

The group was filled with joy, everyone immersed in the excitement of witnessing a myth. However, in this lively atmosphere, one person's avatar seemed particularly forlorn.

[Hengyu]: "... (Long silence)"

Far away in another timeline, Great Emperor Jiang Hengyu was currently stationed deep within the Sun Star. Before him, the hengyu furnace was spewing out billions of wisps of fire essence. He looked at the constantly refreshing "Strength Improvement" prompts in the group, then at his own cultivation insights, which had barely moved, and fell into deep self-doubt.

[Hengyu]: "Everyone... isn't your improvement speed a bit too unreasonable?"

Hengyu was very depressed. To gather these 100 points, he had practically pushed himself to the limit. As a Great Emperor, his cultivation had long reached the pinnacle of this world, and advancing even an inch further was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. In these three days, he frantically deduced the art of refining weapons, attempting to gain even 1 point of feedback by perfecting the hengyu furnace.

And the result?

He worked himself to death, comprehending for three days and three nights, and the System slowly popped up a prompt: [Group member Hengyu comprehended a trace of the True Meaning of Fire Dao, point feedback +1].

Meanwhile, those juniors who just joined the group would eat a fruit, advance a few minor Realms, and gain +10, +20 points.

[Hengyu]: "This old man, a dignified Great Emperor, has become the 'points laggard' in this group? Where is the justice in this? Could it be that this old man is truly old and can't keep up with you young people's pace?"

[Xiao Yan]: "Senior Hengyu, please don't say that. You are a max-level expert; even a tiny improvement for you is a qualitative leap. We are just grinding experience in the beginner village. It looks fast, but compared to you, we are still mere ants!"

[Hengyu]: "Although that's true, seeing all of you receive the Ruthless Fellow Daoist's red packet... my heart feels empty. Especially now that the teleportation channel has opened, and I'm still working hard to gather points, but you've already finished the job? Where should this old man's Imperial face be placed?"

Great Emperor Hengyu's words added a touch of cheerfulness to the originally tense atmosphere in the group.

Indeed, in this Chat Group that connects myriad worlds, the higher one's cultivation, the more difficult it is to earn points through "improving strength."

Meanwhile, at the other end of the teleportation channel, the Ruthless Great Emperor had already stood up.

Her white robes fluttered in the Chaos, and her eyes, which were originally cold, aloof, and regarded all ages as dust, were now filled with unprecedented tenderness and urgency.

"Brother... wait for me."

She whispered softly, her voice transcending the barriers of time and space, stirring ripples in the teleportation channel. Her figure gradually became ethereal, as she was being drawn by the Chat Group's power, crossing that insurmountable chasm of years... Big Dipper Star, Mount Qin Immortal Transformation Pool.

Fang Fan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calmly fixed on the massive teleportation gate. He could feel an aura capable of overturning the entire Big Dipper, and even making the entire Universe tremble, rapidly approaching.

"Teleportation will take a little more time," Fang Fan murmured to himself. "However, before that, it seems a rat can't help but jump out."

His gaze sharply turned towards the direction of the Eastern Wasteland, a cold arc forming at the corner of his mouth.

The moment the teleportation channel opened and the Mortal World Immortal's aura leaked out, the Undying Heavenly Emperor, far away at the edge of the Universe, finally couldn't sit still.

Eastern Wasteland, Ancient Emperor Mountain.

This was once the Undying Heavenly Emperor's Dao field, regarded as a miraculous land by the Myriad Ancient Races. Even though the Undying Heavenly Emperor had disappeared for a million years, his supreme Imperial Dao array patterns still remained here, suppressing the Luck of all ages.

And in the deepest part of Ancient Emperor Mountain, there was a huge immortal cocoon, which sealed the Queen of the Primordial Era—the Undying Empress.

"Wushi..."

A cold and frantic voice suddenly exploded above Ancient Emperor Mountain!

The Void Realm was forcibly torn open by a massive five-colored Phoenix claw. Endless Imperial Dao prestige poured down like a tsunami, instantly pulverizing the mountains within a ten-thousand-li radius.

The true body of the Undying Heavenly Emperor had actually descended!

He had originally been lurking at the edge of the Universe, but the aura emanating from the Immortal Transformation Pool made him feel an unprecedented threat. That aura... not only contained Wushi's, but also a terrifying fluctuation that made even him tremble, as if it had already surpassed the Emperor Realm!

He couldn't wait.

He had to rescue the Undying Empress and reclaim the trump cards he had left in Ancient Emperor Mountain before that mysterious power fully descended, otherwise his millennia-long plan would completely collapse.

"Wushi, you mere child, you only Attained the Dao five hundred years ago, do you really think you can go Heaven-Defying?"

The figure of the Undying Heavenly Emperor stepped out from the Void Realm. Nine-colored divine flames encircled his body, and each feather seemed like a peerless immortal sword, spewing Sword Qi capable of annihilating stars.

Although he was wary of Wushi, he trusted his own million years of foundation more. For this day, he had devoured the essence blood of countless Great Emperors in their later years. The immortal essence of longevity within him had become incredibly dense, and he was only half a step away from becoming a Mortal World Immortal!

"When this Emperor Attained the Dao, your ancestors were just a speck of dust in the Universe!"

The Undying Heavenly Emperor roared, directly summoning the five-colored human skin, which was his divine Incarnation, carrying monstrous bloody light, and fiercely clawing towards the Seal of Ancient Emperor Mountain.

He wanted to save people first, then kill people!

However, just as his Phoenix claw was about to touch the Seal, a melodious and profound bell chime, without any warning, resonated throughout heaven and earth.

"Dong—!"

The bell chime reverberated, and time seemed to freeze at this moment. That terrifying five-colored Phoenix claw was forcefully suspended in mid-air, unable to advance even a single inch.

"Undying Heavenly Emperor, this Emperor has been waiting for this moment for a long time."

A majestic figure had appeared on the peak of Ancient Emperor Mountain at some unknown point. Fang Fan's white robes were whiter than snow, his black hair danced wildly, and the wushi bell floated above his head, cascading down ten thousand wisps of Chaos Qi, making him appear like a God King inspecting all heavens.

"You..." The Undying Heavenly Emperor's pupils contracted sharply. "You actually had a plan all along? You deliberately opened that teleportation channel just to lure me out?!"

Fang Fan smiled, his smile filled with disdain: "If I didn't give you a sense of crisis, how would you, this cowardly crow, be willing to leave your dark nest?"

"Arrogant!"

The Undying Heavenly Emperor was furious. He had originally thought Wushi was merely a talented junior, but he never expected the other party's schemes to be so profound.

"Attaining the Dao in five hundred years is indeed amazing, but in this Emperor's eyes, you are still just a naive child! In front of this Emperor's million years of Lifespan, your power is simply not worth mentioning!"

The Undying Heavenly Emperor moved, shaking his wings, which transformed into two scythes capable of cleaving the Universe, carrying endless killing intent, and slashing horizontally towards Fang Fan!

"Today, this Emperor shall use your Imperial blood to achieve my Mortal World Immortal position!"
