After all, even if it's just for show, even if it's just lenient treatment, there needs to be a plausible reason!
The reason given by the Ancient Emperor of Qilin was the self-destruction of the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body. That's right, Ye Fan had no choice but to directly control this aged Sacred Body to self-destruct.
Then, the Qilin Ancient Emperor accidentally entered the center of the self-destruction, was blown to pieces, and returned to the forbidden zone to slumber due to his severe injuries.
But what about them? What could their reason be? The corpse of the emperor before them? No, no, no, the fighting power of the two emperors, Yan and Huang, was only at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor level. They weren't even unorthodox Daoists. Even if they self-destructed, they might not be able to really cripple them.
While trying to figure out how to resolve this pointless battle, the Supremes are also constantly holding back, which is giving them a real headache!
In the blink of an eye, Lao Tzu, Shakyamuni, and the others were completely outmatched. As for Ye Fan, he was now crippled; without his Great Perfection Holy Body, what could he possibly use to fight?
However, at that moment, things took a turn for the worse. It turned out that the Black Emperor had somehow obtained a bottle of blood left behind by the Great Emperor Wushi and had begun summoning him. As for the Supreme Beings, they all pretended not to notice and continued their battle.
With a whoosh, accompanied by the Black Emperor's summons, an incomparably powerful figure emerged from behind a door. The moment the figure appeared, an immensely powerful aura emanated from it.
His mere aura was enough to intimidate the five remaining supreme beings! But no matter what, that figure simply couldn't appear.
After all, Wu Shi is still in the inner layer of the Immortal Realm and cannot get out for the time being! Even though he has the strength of a Red Dust Immortal, he still cannot get out unless he gets Lin Yang's special permission!
(Lin Yang holds the Heavenly Dao in his hands. Therefore, his authority is the highest!)
"The Great Emperor, it's the Great Emperor!" The Black Emperor was very excited after seeing the figure from behind.
At the same time, Ye Fan was also very excited. The Great Emperor Wushi was renowned and could be considered the strongest person after the Great Emperor Ruthless. Could he stop this dark turmoil?
"Hmph, what Emperor Wushi, what peak at the end of the immortal path, all vanish upon seeing Wushi, it's just bragging from a junior. I don't believe that a mere phantom can defy the heavens!" With that, the Lord of Reincarnation made his move!
Upon hearing this, the figure turned and threw a punch directly at the Lord of Reincarnation. This punch severely injured the Lord of Reincarnation. This time, it was a genuine serious injury, not a feigned one like that of the Ancient Emperor Qilin.
Within the interlayer of the Immortal Realm, Wu Shi frowned. He wasn't worried about the Dark Turmoil; with his strength, he had already learned the truth. What bothered him now was his parents' nagging beside him.
“Wu Shi, I know you are angry that Dao Zu deliberately arranged your life back then, but that was with our consent! Now, don’t deliberately ruin Dao Zu’s plan.”
The speaker was a woman, very beautiful, who had attained enlightenment through the innate Dao embryo. Just by standing there, she could resonate with all the Dao, which was quite extraordinary. She once had a resounding name: Western Emperor.
“Yes, we all agreed back then. After all, without the Chaos Stone, the Dao Scripture, and the help of the Dao Ancestor, how could you have grown so quickly?” The speaker was a Great Accomplishment Saint Body, who was also Wushi’s father.
Feeling his parents' nagging, even though Wu Shi's strength had long since reached the limit of the Red Dust Immortal, just like Lin Yang and the Ruthless Man, he felt somewhat powerless at this moment.
Even if he were to fight against heaven and earth and possess immense strength, could he possibly lay a hand on his parents? Therefore, he could only nod helplessly.
"Alright, I understand. These supreme beings are all cleaning up the cancers in the universe itself. Their actions are not only without fault, but also meritorious!"
As he spoke, the remaining essence blood was completely consumed, and the illusory figure vanished. Seeing this, the Western Emperor nodded in satisfaction.

Chapter 88: Completely Unbeatable
As Ji Zi sacrificed himself, he suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight with a spatial fluctuation. Then, the corpse of the Yellow Emperor, also known as the Void Emperor, seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and his combat power instantly increased tenfold.
Wielding a Void Mirror, he appeared and disappeared unpredictably, single-handedly eliminating three Supreme Beings from the Forbidden Zones. Then, the remaining Supreme Being, feigning being outnumbered, was forced to return to the Forbidden Zone and resume his slumber.
In Ye Fan's eyes, this battle meant he lost his trump card, the Great Perfection Holy Body; he lost his friend, Ji Zi; he lost...
(Himeko didn't actually die; after all, her biological father had been watching from the Underworld the whole time. He saved her at a crucial moment, but now she has to live in the Underworld forever. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if the secret were exposed!)
Therefore, the thought of the Dark Turmoil and the forbidden zones of life filled Ye Fan with boundless motivation. In order to hunt down these supreme beings of the forbidden zones, Ye Fan was willing to go all out. In the next few hundred years, he went wherever there was danger and wherever there was opportunity.
Along the way, Ye Fan was also pursued and killed by several Supreme subordinates. In the end, when he was at the seventh and eighth level of Quasi-Emperor, he was even chased and killed by the Supremes to a terrible state.
No sooner had they survived the tribulation than the Supreme Beings attacked. Although often they were only using one hand or one arm, dealing with them was still extremely difficult.
Fortunately, justice will eventually prevail over evil (with the help of the protagonist's halo). Although Ye Fan faces many dangers, he always manages to survive!
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed. Today, Ye Fan has already obtained most of the secret techniques of the Holy Body lineage through various channels.
In terms of cultivation, he has already reached the pinnacle of the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor. Furthermore, due to his Sacred Body physique, he can even contend with ordinary unorthodox cultivators. In other words, he has essentially achieved the Great Perfection of the Sacred Body!
At this point, in terms of cultivation alone, he was no less powerful than the nine great holy bodies of yesteryear. Therefore, Ye Fan made a decision: to storm the forbidden zone and annihilate the Supreme Being!
That's what he thought, and that's what he did. Just like now, he stood blocking the entrance to a certain forbidden zone. A unique pressure, characteristic only of someone who had achieved mastery of the Holy Body, instantly appeared.
The Supreme Beings, sensing this aura, couldn't help but sigh, "The Holy Body has finally returned." At this moment, their minds drifted back to the era when the Nine Holy Bodies appeared one after another!
"If you want war, then let us fight. It has been a long time since I have tasted the blood of the Holy Body. After obtaining you, I will surely extend my life by another thousand years."
As he spoke, the Ancient Qilin Emperor, wielding his scepter, charged out and engaged Ye Fan in a fierce battle in the starry sky.
At the same time, in his heart, he was recalling Lin Yang's words.
"If the Holy Body comes knocking, don't worry. Just unleash the power of an unorthodox Daoist and give him a good fight. Anyway, with such a long lifespan, you won't be worn down to death. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Besides, the sins you have committed have long been compensated for by your merits. Many of you have even made contributions to the world itself. Even if Ye Fan becomes an emperor, he will still have to comply with the requirements of the Heavenly Dao. It is impossible for him to do anything to you!"
"Moreover, humans, when there are no external enemies, always like to fight among themselves and always like to court death. Therefore, for the sake of a better world and for the sake of greater human unity, there must be no forbidden zones."
Therefore, the Ancient Emperor Qilin set a tone for this battle: fight fiercely, and as long as the Holy Body isn't killed, nothing will happen.
roar!
With a roar, the Ancient Qilin Emperor revealed its true form, transforming into a majestic and powerful Qilin. With a massive bite, it caught Lin Yang off guard and tore off half of his body. Then, with a series of crunching sounds, it devoured him.
"Haha, not bad, this is truly blood brimming with vitality! Youth is wonderful; if I consume you, I will surely live for a thousand years!"
As for Ye Fan, he was constantly circulating the "Zhe" character technique, and the half of his body that had been bitten off was restored to its perfect state in the first instant.
At the same time, his anger flared, and all sorts of strange phenomena appeared instantly. Things like the moon rising over the sea and the Heavenly Emperor descending from the heavens appeared one after another.
With the aid of various secret techniques, Ye Fan grew stronger with each battle. His body shattered? No problem! The "Zhe" secret technique would repair it.
