On the most central Sky Island, the Imperial Palace has already collapsed.

Long Zixuan and a few others are confronting the Emperor of Darkness.

“Kunpeng, Swordsman… and you.”

War Emperor’s face darkened as he looked at Dugu Yuqing, Long Zixuan, and the others, saying:

“I understand now; you two are the last remnants of those traitors!”

“Back then, you betrayed the Dark Firmament, followed that person… and held up the ancestral fire for him, leaving the Dark Firmament…”

Upon encountering Dugu Yuqing previously, War Emperor had not been certain. Sёarᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Now, with Long Zixuan…

He vaguely understood the origins of Dugu Yuqing and Long Zixuan!

He stared at Long Zixuan, his eyes suddenly revealing a tinge of greed, and said:

“You are the opponent I have been seeking… the seed of the ‘Path of Lawlessness’, defeating you, I too can become a seed of ‘Lawlessness’…”

He revealed a bit of the secret!

Before Long Zixuan became the forefather of the ancients and held up the fire to walk out of the darkness, he was once part of the Dark Firmament…

And moreover, he was a seed of the “Path of Lawlessness”…

“Lawlessness” is one of the Supreme Dao, regarded as the culmination of the Martial Path and Path of War; at that level, a single thought would dissipate all Mystical Methods and Divine Skills, a single punch could annihilate all rules!

Where it goes, all Dao dim, such is “Lawlessness”!

Even as War Emperor, Mo Zhan had not become a seed of the Lawlessness because the “Dao Marks” of Lawlessness had already been divided up; unless the predecessors were defeated, the way of Lawlessness would then open to others.

Now, the appearance of Long Zixuan had given him an opportunity!

As long as he defeats Long Zixuan…

The path of Lawlessness will open up to him!

“Dare to fight a battle of equal realms?!”

He stared at Long Zixuan, his blood boiling as if he had already glimpsed a bright future.

As he spoke, he suddenly waved his hand, and the surroundings were abruptly enveloped by seven War Banners.

“This Banner… once belonged to Emperor Zhantian of the Forbidden World, known as the ‘Banner of Ages’; within this banner, one can evolve their entire Realm beneath the Heavenly Emperor!”

War Emperor spoke up.

Emperor Zhantian… once led the War Heaven Emperor’s Court and many powerful beings of the Forbidden World to attack the darkness.

But, there were beings on the other side that struck, annihilating everything.

Many treasures of Emperor Zhantian fell into the hands of the Dark Firmament, and these war banners were acquired by him.

Now, as a Great Emperor, it would be easy for him to kill Long Zixuan, but killing Long Zixuan would be pointless!

He must be defeated!

Defeated on an equal realm!

Only in this way, the path of Lawlessness once occupied by Long Zixuan would belong to him.

Otherwise, even if Long Zixuan were to be killed, it would be futile because it would not replace Long Zixuan’s nature of being invincible within the same realm.

Long Zixuan looked at those banners and indifferently said:

“What is there to fear!”

Having said that, he took a step in!

War Emperor also stood within the banners; at this moment, the Seven War Banners rustled, exuding an aura and rules that surpassed those of a Great Emperor, as if pertaining to time and ages.

At this moment, Long Zixuan felt as if he could evolve his future self!

“This banner… strangely familiar, the principles within it share some similarities with Miss Yun Xi…”

Long Zixuan couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

In the small courtyard, Yun Xi practiced all Dao, and the most impressive to him was the Path of Time!

Capable of retracing time.

The principles of this Banner of Ages, though more complex than retracing time, seemingly capable of deducing the future, didn’t differ fundamentally from the Time Technique mastered by Yun Xi.

Perhaps, when Emperor Zhantian refined the Banner of Ages, he had received assistance from The End of Myriad Dao?

He wasn’t sure.

After the Dark War Emperor entered the banner, he easily retraced his former self!

In reality, the “retracing” forbidden technique that War Emperor mastered was derived from the Banner of Ages, a certain incomplete Time Technique!

At this moment, War Emperor’s aura gradually changed, and around him… there unexpectedly appeared… Immortal Qi!

Even though that Immortal Qi manifested in the form of darkness, it was still of the Immortal Path!

“Do you know, the blossoms of the Path of the Forbidden did not bloom out of nowhere; the ancient Immortal Path… once was the starting point of all cultivation!”

The Dark War Emperor sneered, saying:

“Immortal Path is crippled, Saint Path is lacking, Divine Path is invisible as Chaos crumbles… Your Path of the Forbidden is nothing but castles in the air, a mere illusion! Now that I’ve evolved into the body of the Immortal Path, what can you bring to fight against me?”

“Even if you were once a seed of lawlessness… Now lacking the foundation of Immortal, Saint, Divine, and Chaos Paths, you can only be defeated!”

In his eyes, there was utter certainty, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth!

The Forbidden World… The ancient paths of Immortal, Saint, Divine, and Chaos have long been lost!

But, under the Dark Firmament, those ancient heritages still continue, and moreover, they are considered fundamental.

In fact, before the universe entered the age of darkness, Immortal Path, Saint Path, Divine Path, and Chaos Path had all once shone with splendid civilizations. Although everything returned to darkness, the civilizations and eras dissolved countless ages ago, the principles originating from the civilization of the Immortal Path have always been regarded as the origin of cultivation.

Before one steps onto the Path of the Forbidden, one must cultivate the bodies of Immortal, Saint, Divine, and Chaos Paths; otherwise, even if one becomes a Great Emperor on the Path of the Forbidden, it is just an illusion in the sky, unworthy of mention.

This is the reason he looks down upon the entire Forbidden World!

Because, within the Forbidden World, these ancient paths have already been discarded, even the weakest start their cultivation directly from “Najin,” not realizing that Immortal, Saint, Divine, and Chaos are the origin, the only paths that can nourish the true Forbidden Blossom.

And upon hearing these words, Long Zixuan couldn’t help but ponder.

Under the Dark Firmament… it turns out that one still needs to cultivate Immortal, Saint, Divine, and Chaos…

At this moment, he seemed to understand why his master had them start with the Immortal Path!

Because, only in this way… can one possess the capital to fight against the darkness!

Just like the Forbidden World, where people begin cultivation directly from Najin, but it’s like walking on a broken path. It seems to start high, but in reality, it has completely perished.

“A body of the Immortal Path, huh…”

Long Zixuan lifted his eyes, then, his realm suddenly changed, regressing to that of the Immortal Path Realm…

At this moment, his body burst forth with immense Immortal Qi, various rules of the Immortal Path intertwining, flawless and complete.

“What? Immortal Path… You’ve actually cultivated the Immortal Path before?”

Seeing this, the Dark War Emperor was stunned and lost his composure!

“Wrong… The doctrines of the Immortal Path have been completely annihilated, untraceable in time and space, unreachable in cause and effect… How could you possibly have cultivated a body of the Immortal Path?!”

There was actually a hint of… fear in the eyes of the Dark War Emperor.

The Immortal Path… far too ancient, primal. In the records of the Dark Firmament, it is the universe’s first glimmer of light.

But in the end, it was silenced within the laws of the universe, with all cause and effect extinguished, only under the Dark Firmament were a few heritages preserved.

Everything about the Immortal Path, below the Dark Firmament, is regarded as forbidden, untouchable by anyone.

But, how has Long Zixuan cultivated a body of the Immortal Path?

Even though Long Zixuan was once a traitor under the Dark Firmament, privy to some Immortal Path Mystical Methods, it was impossible for him to cultivate such a perfectly harmonious body of the Immortal Path…

His body of the Immortal Path was just like the legendary one, arising only from the complete inheritance of the Immortal Path…

Could it be, behind him, there actually exists an… old Undying from the era of the Immortal Path?!

He was somewhat dumbfounded, because the era of the Immortal Path was far too distant, emerging before the countless ages forming the Dark Firmament…

Could there be such a being in this world?

“Impossible… Even the other aspect of the one on the Dark Throne shouldn’t have such an Immortal Path heritage…”

The Dark War Emperor spoke, then suddenly roared, charging towards Long Zixuan.

He displayed numerous dark Immortal Techniques!

But, Long Zixuan simply raised his fist, delivering a devastating punch.

Boom!

This was a punch of the Immortal Path, radiant with Immortal light, the dragon’s roar thunderous!

The body of the Immortal Path of the Dark War Emperor instantly collapsed, unable to withstand it!

“So weak.”

Long Zixuan couldn’t help frowning. The other’s body of the Immortal Path was deeply flawed, indeed not like one completely cultivated through the Immortal Path system.

But immediately after, another aspect emerged.

The body of the Saint Path of the Dark War Emperor!

“I recommend starting directly with the Path of the Forbidden.”

Long Zixuan whispered, saying:

“Otherwise, it really isn’t interesting…”

Then, just as the body of the Divine Path of the Dark War Emperor appeared, it was immediately extinguished…

Soon after, the body of the Chaos Path… also consecutively fell!

“How is this possible… Immortal Path, Saint Path, Divine Path, Chaos Path… These heritages, lost in the river of ages and the laws of the universe, how do you know them all?!”

When the body of the Forbidden Path of the Dark War Emperor emerged, he looked at Long Zixuan as if he had seen a ghost, his mindset somewhat exploded!
