With a thunderous roar, countless heroes surged forth from all directions in that instant, charging towards the Supreme Being. Some were like moths drawn to a flame, others were there to protect him; though such people were few, they truly existed.
Upon seeing this, the Ancient Emperor Qilin frowned subconsciously. At the same time, he recalled Lin Yang's words.
"Throughout history, only in times of great crisis can we see true heroes. Therefore, when you see these heroes, you may kill them, but you can only destroy their physical bodies. You can keep their souls, spirits, or remnants of their souls and take them to the underworld to exchange for merit later."
"Very well, for the sake of merit, for the sake of longevity, and for the sake of the peaches of immortality, I will spare your lives for now!"
"Haha, how dare an ant defy the heavens?"
With a loud laugh, the Ancient Emperor Qilin waved his hand, and all those who came to resist exploded and died.
At least, that's how it appears to the cultivators outside! However, what they didn't realize was that at the moment these heroes died, their souls and remnants transformed into a ray of white light and entered the body of the Qilin Ancient Emperor.
Then, the Ancient Emperor Qilin encountered the people he hated most! A group of guys who had enough strength to stop him, but whom he couldn't kill indiscriminately!
"You are the void? No, weren't you already dead?"
"I know!" the Ancient Emperor of Qilin shouted, raising his Qilin Scepter and striking. Even though he knew deep down that this guy was a resurrected Emperor Corpse, he still pretended to know nothing!
Soon, five emperors who had attained enlightenment—the Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, Chi You, Lao Tzu, and Shakyamuni—appeared. At this time, they all possessed the ultimate cultivation level of the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm.
Facing a Supreme Being who, on the surface, is merely a flawed cultivator who has achieved enlightenment through an unorthodox method, is someone you can still fight against. How do you fight? By risking your life, by using your own life to fight against the Supreme Being's life.
Based on experience, the Supreme Beings have limited lifespans and cannot engage in prolonged battles. Therefore, even at the risk of being killed, sacrificing one's life, there is still a certain chance of either killing or scaring away these life-loving Supreme Beings.
The Nine Sacred Bodies are famous throughout the world and are said to be able to challenge the Great Emperor. That's how they got their reputation!
The incomplete emperor was unwilling to fight them. The truly flawless emperor revered their reputation and admired their sacrifices, therefore, he did not actively expose this well-intentioned lie.
However, it was only at this moment that Ye Fan realized how false those words were!
It turned out that after the Dark Turmoil started, Ye Fan went to the Holy Cliff, found the corpse of the old Holy Body, and then used the bloodline connection between the Holy Bodies to directly control the corpse and go to fight the Supremes.
(In the eyes of mortals, the nine Great Accomplished Saint Bodies have all died long ago. But in reality, their primordial spirits have long since entered the Underworld, where they are cultivating anew. At this moment, their strength has already surpassed that of when they were alive.)
Similarly, the Void Emperor and Huan Yu Emperor, at the moment of their deaths, also had their primordial spirits enter the Netherworld to cultivate anew. At this moment, they are all in the Netherworld, intensely observing the battle that their former corpses had fought.
"Aaaaah, prepare to die!"
Feeling an increasingly intense sense of powerlessness, Ye Fan seemed to be unable to do anything except occasionally shout a few words.
What kind of Great Perfection Holy Body can fight against an Emperor? At this moment, Ye Fan only wanted to ask one question: Who said this?
You must understand that, although due to his own cultivation level, he could only unleash one-tenth of the tenth level of his Great Perfection Sacred Body's combat power, the Great Emperor opposite him had also severed his own life force.
Their current combat strength should be ten times weaker than it was at its peak, right? Even though it's a tenfold difference, how come the gap is so huge?
At first, Ye Fan was thinking of using this body to make a big splash and try to destroy a Supreme Being!
But now it seems that's not the case at all!
With his current Great Sage cultivation level, he could only manipulate this corpse to perform some simple actions, such as left hooks, right hooks, and punches...
However, if one were to actually use secret techniques, or even the "Xing" or "Dou" secret techniques, it would be practically impossible to use them.
"ah……"
------------
Chapter 87: Ye Fan, whose backing is as hard as steel.
Watching Ye Fan now controlling his former corpse in a fierce battle, the Holy Body felt a little awkward.
"These young people nowadays are really brave. Although they haven't fully matured yet, their courage alone is enough to make the Holy Body lineage proud. It's just a pity that they haven't learned many of the Holy Body lineage's secret techniques, so they can't truly unleash the advantages of the Holy Body. Otherwise, they wouldn't have ended up in this mess."
Upon hearing this, another Saint Body member standing nearby smiled and said, "It's already quite good. After all, the claim that a Great Perfection Saint Body can fight an Emperor is just talk. This courage alone is enough to honor our Saint Body lineage. As for the relevant secret techniques, didn't the Dao Ancestor already arrange them?"
“Yes, you must know that those Supreme Beings on the other side are not incomplete. Their Heavenly Heart Imprints have already been repaired. If a fight really breaks out and they are pushed to the limit, they might unleash the power of a flawless Great Emperor, and things will not turn out well!” another Holy Body added.
There are eight Great Perfection Saint Bodies here! With them watching so closely, Ye Fan will definitely be safe and sound. Even the Qilin Ancient Emperor, unless he loses his mind, won't actually try to kill Ye Fan!
"Yes, Ye Fan is much luckier than us. At least he can become a Great Emperor. That's a Great Emperor! No matter what, he's the strongest person of an era in the open!" one of the Saintly Bodies said with some envy.
Generally speaking, people like them, who possess extraordinary physical constitutions, have advantages that ordinary people cannot match in the early, middle, and later stages of cultivation.
However, once one reaches the hurdle of proving oneself as an emperor, the difficulty is more than ten times greater than that of ordinary people! It can only be said that every action has its own destiny, which can be considered a balance of the heavens!
"The Holy Body is so lucky now. At least it's not in mortal danger. Compared to when we had to grit our teeth and go straight for the sake of humanity, it's so much better."
"Indeed, back then, I thought I was going to die, but who knew I would end up in the underworld. It wasn't until the moment of my death that I truly understood the truth of the world!"
Feeling the intense gazes of the eight Great Perfection Saint Bodies, and at the same time seeing the murderous aura above Ye Fan's head—no red name, but a wisp of black energy, indicating that this kid had indeed killed quite a few people!
At the same time, there was also a wisp of golden light, indicating that this kid had done quite a few good deeds in the past! (Mainly killing ancient clansmen, most of whom had committed sins, thus gaining merit.)
But most importantly, this kid is from the Holy Body lineage; he has powerful backers! His backing is as strong as steel!
Dealing with this kind of guy is really troublesome. Oh well, since I'm not really going to start a dark upheaval anyway, I might as well fight the Holy Body in front of me to the point of mutual destruction. With that thought in mind, the Ancient Emperor Qilin began to put on an act.
"Boy, how dare you appear before me before your Holy Body has reached its full potential? Prepare to die!"
"Ah, how dare you hurt me! This is unforgivable!"
"I will definitely come back!"
After destroying the sacred body's corpse, the Qilin Ancient Emperor pretended to be seriously injured and returned to the forbidden area to recuperate.
On the other side, the battlefield of the Emperor Corpses, which is also the battlefield of Emperor Yan, Emperor Huang, and Chi You, is not faring well at this time either.
