37: The destruction of the Immortal Tomb is an unparalleled achievement!

"Boom—!"

In the Big Dipper Star Field, upon the Eastern Wasteland, in the direction of the Immortal Tomb, the overwhelming flames of war had been completely ignited. Over a dozen Ancient Supremes had joined forces to attack a Life Forbidden Zone, a grand event unprecedented throughout the eternal ages. Emperor Dao Laws collided violently, as Immortal Light and Devilish Qi intertwined; every strike was enough to tear apart the star cluster and shatter great stars.

"Kill! Break open the Immortal Tomb's formation patterns for me!" The Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor roared. Holding the Ten Thousand Dragon Bell, he shook out hundreds of millions of strands of Dragon Qi, which transformed into golden divine dragons that slammed fiercely into the ancient Mountain-Protecting Array of the Immortal Tomb.

"Longevity Heavenly Venerate is dead; the Immortal Tomb no longer has a leader! Everyone, give your all and seize the fortune of longevity!" Another Ancient Emperor from the Fire Qilin Cave also roared. Above his head, the Fire Qilin Sword slashed out a blazing Imperial Dao edge, instantly vaporizing the ancient trees and rocks on the outskirts of the Immortal Tomb.

Deep within the Immortal Tomb, the remaining few Supremes turned pale, their eyes filled with despair. They had thought they could sit back and reap the benefits, but they never expected to become the meat on Wushi Great Emperor's chopping block, forced into a fratricidal struggle with their former allies.

"You go too far! Brat Wushi, you will die a miserable death!" An Immortal Tomb Supreme let out a venomous curse. He burned his own Dao Laws, transforming them into a grey beam of death that shot directly at the Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor.

"Hmph! Death is at your door, yet you still dare to be stubborn! Today, we shall divide the foundations of the Immortal Tomb among ourselves!" The Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor snorted coldly. With a shake of the Ten Thousand Dragon Bell, he neutralized the attack while simultaneously commanding the other Supremes to attack deeper into the Immortal Tomb even more crazily.

This was a war with no victors—or rather, the only victor was Wushi Great Emperor, who had never participated. Every Supreme was exerting their full strength, needing to both attack the Immortal Tomb and guard against their "allies" stabbing them in the back at a critical moment. Their faces were masks of madness, greed, exhaustion, and despair.

Three days' time was but a blink of an eye to a Supreme. However, during these three days, the Immortal Tomb experienced its most tragic catastrophe since ancient times. The Mountain-Protecting Array was torn apart by one Imperial Dao Law after another, ancient Immortal Graves were overturned, and the Immortal Source sleeping within was forcibly stripped away.

When the first light of dawn on the third day spilled onto the Big Dipper lands, the Immortal Tomb—this once-terrifying Life Forbidden Zone—had been completely reduced to ruins. Mountains collapsed, ancient trees were charred black, and the originally pervasive Immortal Essence was replaced by dense Death Qi and the scent of blood.

Over a dozen Supremes now floated above the ruins of the Immortal Tomb. They were all more or less covered in wounds, their auras withered. Yet, in their eyes flickered the relief of having survived a disaster, as well as a bottomless fear of Wushi Great Emperor.

"The Immortal Tomb... is gone," one Supreme murmured to himself, his voice trembling.

"This is Wushi Great Emperor's warning... he truly does what he says." Another Supreme's face was deathly pale as he looked toward the other forbidden zones, his eyes filled with unprecedented vigilance.

Just then, a calm and majestic voice drifted from the depths of the Universe, echoing in the ears of every Supreme.

"Three days have passed. The Immortal Tomb has been removed from existence. You have done well."

This voice was none other than Wushi Great Emperor!

Upon hearing these words, all the Supremes shuddered violently, as if an invisible giant hand had seized them by the throat. They knew that Wushi Great Emperor had been watching them all along; every action they took was within his control.

"Now, this Emperor shall leave the Big Dipper for a period of time. You may live in peace," Wushi Great Emperor's voice continued to resonate, but this time, it carried an unquestionable command. "Remember, this Emperor does not wish to see any more Dark Turmoil. If there is a next time, there will be no need for this Emperor to act personally; you yourselves will become each other's sacrifices."

As the words fell, that vast Emperor's Might suddenly vanished, as if it had never appeared.

All the Supremes breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately following that, an even deeper fear took root and sprouted in their hearts.

"Wushi... has he really left?" one Supreme asked tremblingly.

"He... he is warning us! He is telling us that even if he is not here, we dare not act rashly!"

"Too terrifying! This method of controlling people's hearts is even more frightening than slaughtering us directly!"

They recalled Wushi Great Emperor's words, "You have no room for choice," and his statement, "Whoever cannot do it... shall disappear along with the Immortal Tomb!"

They finally understood that Wushi Great Emperor was not just invincible in terms of martial power, but also possessed crushing wisdom. Through a "war of attrition" where they killed each other, he had completely dismantled the Alliance of all forbidden zone Supremes, leaving them filled with suspicion and hostility toward one another.

"Seal myself! I will Seal myself immediately!" The Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor was the first to make a decision. Dragon Qi surged around him, transforming into a massive Divine Source that completely enveloped him as he sank into the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.

"That's right! In this era, with Wushi Great Emperor around, we simply have no chance! We can only wait—wait for the next epoch, wait for the Strange World to open again!"

"Live on! Only by living on is there hope!"

The Primordial Beginning Ancient Mine, God Ruins, Sea of Reincarnation, Heaven Burying Island, and the Empyrean... all the surviving Life Forbidden Zones fell into a deathly silence at this moment. One after another, ancient and powerful auras completely vanished in various corners of the Universe, sealing themselves within the deepest Immortal Source. They completely abandoned the idea of fighting for the path to immortality in this lifetime; their only goal was to linger on and wait for the era of Wushi Great Emperor to pass.

In the Big Dipper Star Field, all the Human Race Cultivators felt the dissipation of the dark torrent that had been weighing on their hearts.

"The forbidden zones... the forbidden zone Supremes have all sealed themselves!"

"Heavens! It's Wushi Great Emperor! With his power alone, he has quelled all the Dark Turmoil!"

"This is a brand new era! A Golden Age where a Human Race Emperor suppresses the eternal ages, and the forbidden zone Supremes dare not emerge!"

Cheers resounded throughout the Big Dipper as countless Human Race Cultivators were moved to tears. They knelt on the ground, bowing piously in the direction where Wushi Great Emperor had departed. Wushi Great Emperor had become the greatest guardian deity in the hearts of the Human Race, and his legend would be passed down through generations... At this time, Wushi Great Emperor and the Ruthless Great Emperor had already left the Big Dipper Star Field, traversing the Universe to arrive at that ancient azure star—the Primordial Ancient Star.

This star appeared so small and insignificant in the depths of the Universe, yet it was brimming with vibrant life.

The Ruthless Great Emperor stood quietly beside Wushi. Her gaze also swept over this star, and the eyes beneath that Bronze Mask flickered with a complex light.

She could feel that on this star, there was a fluctuation that faintly resonated with the depths of the Bloodline within her body.

Wushi Great Emperor held her hand. He could clearly feel that the Bloodline within the Ruthless Great Emperor's body was resonating with some ancient and powerful aura deep within this ancient star.
