A united front of forty-three powerhouses unleashed an overwhelming barrage of divine skills upon Ye Xuan. He stood firm, seemingly unfazed, as the battlefield dissolved around him. The attackers believed Ye Xuan had perished, but he reappeared unharmed, revealing his mastery of the "Zero Domain" technique. Ye Xuan then challenged his astonished opponents, questioning if they wished to continue the fight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you still wish to continue?"

Ye Xuan's voice was calm as he spoke.

His words caused Chu Old Demon and the others to exchange grim glances, their eyes darkening, but they made no immediate move.

After a moment of silence, without a word, they launched another volley of attacks.

Forty-three peerless powerhouses united their forces against Ye Xuan.

Yet, Ye Xuan remained motionless, standing his ground as he allowed their relentless assaults to rain down upon him.

Such an display of power ignited fervent cheers from the disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Those observers hidden in the shadows, the unmatched powerhouses, were equally stunned.

On this very day, the world witnessed who was truly Xuanhuang's strongest Reserve Emperor.

This is it!

Meanwhile.

Far away in Xuanzhou.

Within the mystical confines of Xuan Sect.

In the land of eternity.

Ye Xuan's eyes fluttered open once more as he emerged from the land of eternity.

Ye Xuan had spent a full ten years within the land of eternity.

Including the initial three years, this amounted to a total of thirteen years.

Over thirteen years, he had meticulously refined the Immortal Treasure Black Candle, forged the Dark Immortal Body, and condensed a new Myriad Forms Body.

Following that, another decade was dedicated to painstakingly refining the World Tree.

The process was indeed arduous.

It was especially so in the initial stages.

However, after the second year, the refining speed unexpectedly surged, as if the World Tree itself had granted its recognition.

The entirety of the World Tree was absorbed by Ye Xuan, integrating into his primordial Hongmeng Great World.

The World's power washed over, the primordial Hongmeng continuously expanding.

Ye Xuan's various Heaven and Earth Phenomena manifested within that world.

Furthermore, the Fierce Beasts that had previously entered the World Tree were now relocated by Ye Xuan into the primordial Hongmeng, finally imbuing that world with the essence of life.

These creatures proved quite restless, engaging in several skirmishes upon entering the world, vying for positions closer to the World Tree.

But with a mere thought from Ye Xuan, a Forbidden Land was established around the World Tree, prohibiting any life forms from approaching, thus bringing these creatures to heel.

During this period, the Heavenly Swallowing Toad attempted a secret approach but was repelled by the might of the Forbidden Land, eventually settling down itself.

Ye Xuan summoned the Holy Fire Qilin, mounting its back, and ascended from Xuan Sect.

Witnessing Ye Xuan's departure, numerous ancestors on Hundred Coffin Cliff collectively let out sighs of relief.

Riding the Holy Fire Qilin, Ye Xuan departed Xuanzhou, setting a direct course for Daozhou.

The pivotal battle involving the Myriad Forms Body had indeed sent ripples back to his main physique.

Ye Xuan's main body clearly perceived the utilization of the Void Immortal Body by the Myriad Forms Body.

The awakening of the Zero Domain now permitted Ye Xuan's main body to wield it as well.

Concurrently, the enhancement of Origin Power amplified the Dao Body's accumulation to astonishing levels.

All preparations were complete; only the opportune moment was awaited.

Once the Heavenly Dao Suppression is lifted, Ye Xuan will be able to instantly propel the Dao Body to the Great Success Stage.

By then.

What if a Great Saint were to arrive?

What if a Quasi-Emperor were to make an appearance?

What if a Great Emperor were to descend?

With the Dao Body reaching Great Success, no one in this world would be spared.

"Master, where are we headed?"

Having exited the Great Ruins, the Holy Fire Qilin had evidently gained sentience.

It wasn't just the Holy Fire Qilin; others such as the Earth Demon Bull, Destructive Flood Dragon, and Azure Luan had also awakened their consciousness and were cultivating within Ye Xuan's internal world.

"Daozhou."

Ye Xuan indicated the direction.

"Understood!"

The Holy Fire Qilin stamped its hooves, and pure white holy flames surged beneath its feet.

In what felt like an instant, the Holy Fire Qilin transported Ye Xuan across the vast expanse of stars, arriving at the landmass of Daozhou.

With another stride, they entered the territory of Zhongxuan Mountain in the East Desolate.

At this very moment, countless individuals focused their attention.

This was because they had detected a formidable power descending upon them.

With such a potent figure arriving at this critical juncture, their presence was bound to sway the ongoing conflict.

Well...

If they were aligned with Chu Old Demon, their arrival wouldn't significantly alter the outcome.

At this instant, Zhou Youwei, Tang Siyu, Tong Wuji, and the others simultaneously lifted their gazes.

While others might not have discerned it, they immediately sensed Ye Xuan's return!

Ye Xuan's main body had indeed returned!

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged atop the Holy Fire Qilin, surveying the scene of the ancient battlefield unfolding below, a subtle smile gracing his lips as he remarked casually,

Ye Xuan's Myriad Forms Body remained stationary amidst the fray, hands tucked into his pockets, his expression one of serene composure.

First, Chu Old Demon, Shi Pojun, Wuxiangzi, and the others cast their gazes upon Ye Xuan, who stood stalwart on the battlefield, and then shifted their attention to Ye Xuan atop the Holy Fire Qilin.

In that very instant, a profound realization dawned upon everyone present.

The formidable opponents they had so arduously clashed with were, in fact, merely avatars – mere projections, not Ye Xuan's true self!

A wave of shock washed over their hearts, accompanied by a deep, unsettling unease.

"My apologies for the disturbance," said Liu Changqing, an elder from the Liu Family of Hong State. He offered a slight bow to Hong Ba and then gestured to the powerful individuals from the Liu Family who had accompanied him, signaling their intention to depart the ancient battlefield.

"I shall take my leave," Xu Chunlei of the Purple Cloud Demon Sect in Heavenly State declared, his fists clasped in a gesture of farewell before he turned and departed.

Others, including Chu Old Demon, Benlei Daoren, and Wuxiangzi, began to withdraw in unison.

"Since everyone has graced us with their presence, why not stay for a meal?" From the ancient battlefield, Ye Xuan's Myriad Forms Body was recalled into the world by Ye Xuan himself. His main body, now mounted on the Holy Fire Qilin, began a slow descent onto the arena.

Concurrently, an immense power surged across the ancient battlefield, effectively halting all those who had intended to leave.

It was the Emperor Array, intricately engraved upon the very foundations of the ancient battlefield!

How else could the ancient battlefield possibly withstand the cataclysmic clashes between Great Emperors?

Was it merely due to the strength of the rare crystals from which this battlefield was constructed?

Naturally, that was not the sole reason. Countless ancient array patterns were etched into the grounds of this battlefield, interconnected to form the formidable Emperor Arrays, thus enabling its extraordinary resilience.

And at this very moment, Ye Xuan had already initiated the activation of the Emperor Array.

"Hehe, Young Ye, I had already partaken in a meal before arriving here. I shall not impose further," Chu Old Demon forced a laugh, his countenance stiffening.

Ye Xuan alighted from the Holy Fire Qilin's back, a smile gracing his lips. "It seems the esteemed guests have left something behind."

As he spoke, Ye Xuan raised his right hand. Suspended above his palm was an enigmatic Black Candle, radiating a dark, spectral power.

Upon witnessing this object, Chu Old Demon and the others finally understood that this must indeed be the Immortal Treasure. They had already received intelligence earlier, confirming the nature of this artifact.

Observing Ye Xuan's actions, they began to suspect that Ye Xuan might have indeed succeeded in refining the Immortal Treasure. Their visit today had been a grave miscalculation!

"Young Lord Ye jest, this item rightfully belongs to you," Liu Changqing stated earnestly.

"Precisely!" Xing Yi, a senior statesman from the Heavenly Thunder Dynasty in Xuanzhou, echoed, his voice muffled. "In this world, only Young Friend Ye is worthy of possessing such an item."

The sycophantic words had been uttered.
