Yun Fan then realized why he couldn't suppress the Heavenly Emperor's Dao. No matter how his Dao changed, it couldn't suppress a Dao of the same generation.
Therefore, in Yun Fan's opinion, if he couldn't succeed, it meant he hadn't met the standard.
Following this, he began to enter seclusion again. After all, he was only one step away from success, and he wouldn't give up easily.
However, during this period, the Immortal Dao Curse lineage finally launched their attack.
They had already stationed themselves outside the Great Thousand World, and this would be a war that spanned the entire Three Thousand Great Worlds.
Thus, for everyone, this was a difficult test.
Nightmare Sacred Ancestor and others returned to their positions.
Even Hongmeng Gaitian led a group of people to arrive early, along with the forces of the Great Thousand World.
This was undoubtedly an unprecedented battle. The number of Sacred Ancestor-level powerhouses alone participating on both sides reached dozens.
After all, the Heavenly Gu Clan also had quite a few Sacred Ancestors.
The Immortal Dao Curse lineage had even more, as their numbers were very large, whether it was among Sacred Ancestors or Pseudo-Emperors.
At this moment, the powerhouses led by Lin Tianxin and Zi Xuan had also made full preparations. Before Yun Fan went into seclusion, he had given them the Battle Heaven Power.
They distributed the Battle Heaven Power, allowing most powerhouses above the Sacred Ancestor level to obtain it.
After obtaining the Battle Heaven Power, they would be immune to infection.
After all, the strongest aspect of the Immortal Dao Curse was its infectious nature. With the slightest carelessness, one could be directly infected, leading to defeat and becoming a puppet of the Immortal Dao Curse lineage.
Just then, seven Pseudo-Emperors from the Immortal Dao Curse lineage appeared.
That's right, seven of them. Although it was an odd number, seven was still a considerable amount.
Unexpectedly, after countless years, their Pseudo-Emperors had not only not decreased, but had actually increased.
This was something Zi Xuan had not anticipated.
After all, in her era, only four Pseudo-Emperors had appeared, and she had defeated two of them.
Now, with seven appearing, the pressure they exerted was no joke.
Of course, their side also had its numbers. Although she and Lin Tianxin had not recovered their peak strength, they could still handle two opponents each.
If they were both at their peak, the seven of them could be dealt with by her and Lin Tianxin.
Besides them, there were also Bi Luo and Ni Chang, who were Pseudo-Emperor level powerhouses.
Four against seven, although not an advantage, defeat was impossible.
She and Lin Tianxin would each fight two, Bi Luo would fight one, and Ni Chang had recently successfully recovered to the Pseudo-Emperor level.
With her powerful physique, dealing with two opponents was not a problem, though victory would be impossible.
The Immortal Dao Curse lineage, led by the most ancient Xuan Ming, was confronting them.
"Are you bringing so many people to capture us all in one go?"
Lin Tianxin said disdainfully.
Xuan Ming sneered, "Capturing you all in one go is not the case. If you hand over that brat Yun Fan today, we will not trouble you for ten thousand years!"
This was Xuan Ming's demand. Although Yun Fan was not a Pseudo-Emperor, his role was truly immense.
Without Yun Fan, even though the opponents before them were powerful, there would still be ways to defeat them.
If Yun Fan were allowed to grow further, it could change the balance of power. Therefore, they had come solely for Yun Fan.
"You want us to hand him over? That won't happen!"
Bi Luo said, "We accept your challenge, but we will never hand over our husband!"
Hearing this, another Immortal Dao Curse powerhouse, Wuwei, immediately said, "Bi Luo, you are one of us from the Immortal Dao Curse lineage. Following them will lead you to a bad end. Hand over Yun Fan, and we can overlook your past!"
The Heart of Curse and Bi Luo had both defected to Yun Fan, which was a great blow to the Immortal Dao Curse lineage. Therefore, it was impossible for them not to be furious at this moment.
Bi Luo replied, "That won't do. The path you Immortal Dao Curses walk is not the path I wish to walk!"
"In that case, do we have to fight today?"
Xuan Ming roared.
They were relying on their numerical superiority, which gave them ample confidence at this moment.
"Do you really think we're afraid of you?"
At this moment, Ni Chang stepped forward, "In the ancient past, you were merely a defeated opponent of mine. What right do you have to be arrogant in front of me!"
"Is that so?"
Just then, Xuan Ming took the initiative and attacked Ni Chang.
It was evident that he wanted revenge for the ancient past. Therefore, at this moment, he believed that Ni Chang was at her weakest.
Dealing with Ni Chang would be no problem.
Ni Chang, seeing this, met Xuan Ming's attack.
Wuwei and others then attacked the other three. Since Pseudo-Emperors had already engaged, the Sacred Ancestors would naturally not stand idly by.
"Kill!"
With Zhan Tianbubai's shout, Sacred Ancestor-level experts also joined the fray.
It could be said that this was an earth-shattering battle, and the strongest beings in the Three Thousand Great Worlds had gathered here.
It was clear that this was a magnificent battle.
No one knew how long this magnificent battle would last, but it was evident that neither side was afraid of death.
Xuan Ming was the first to engage Ni Chang.
After exchanging one move with Ni Chang, his expression immediately changed because Ni Chang's physique had become too powerful.
He had initially thought it would be a sure victory, but unexpectedly, Ni Chang's performance had exceeded his expectations.
If the battle continued like this, he had no chance of winning.
Therefore, he immediately called over another Pseudo-Emperor who was besieging them, and the two of them joined forces, attempting to kill Ni Chang first.
With another Pseudo-Emperor-level expert joining, Ni Chang was clearly at a disadvantage.
However, no matter how passive she became, she would not be afraid. She directly pushed her Heavenly Gu Battle Body to its peak.
Her combat style was similar to Yun Fan's. Neither of them used techniques, but relied on their powerful physiques to crush their opponents.
Although Xuan Ming and the other Pseudo-Emperor had the upper hand when fighting Ni Chang, her invincible physique made them very troublesome.
"Damn it!"
Xuan Ming roared. He had become so strong through the powerful Immortal Dao Curse. What was Ni Chang relying on?
If they couldn't defeat Ni Chang, the situation today could not be turned around, and they would not be able to free up their hands to deal with the others.
Therefore, at this moment, Xuan Ming was under immense pressure.
The light emanating from the Heavenly Gu Battle Body inspired awe and fear. Under the burning of her bloodline, Ni Chang underwent another transformation.
With just one move, she repelled the weaker Pseudo-Emperor and then began to attack Xuan Ming.
"Xuan Ming, I could defeat you in ancient times, and I can do so in this era as well!"
"Stop boasting. Do you think I'm a pushover?"
Xuan Ming roared and unleashed his full power, engaging in an extreme confrontation with Ni Chang.
Undoubtedly, in terms of physique, Ni Chang had progressed further. Even he was no match for Ni Chang.
Fortunately, he focused on spellcasting, which allowed him to contend with Ni Chang.
At this moment, he was looking for an opportunity to defeat Ni Chang.
On the other side, Wuwei and the other five Pseudo-Emperors cast a formation, trapping the three women in the center.
This was the only way they could stall the three women until Xuan Ming's battle was decided, and then he would come to help them kill the three women.
However, the three women were not to be trifled with.
"This formation again!"
Zi Xuan sneered. In ancient times, four Pseudo-Emperors had used this formation to try and kill her.
She had ultimately turned the tables and won.
Therefore, at this moment, she and Lin Tianxin were working together to break the formation.
Bi Luo, on the other hand, was guarding against attacks from outside the formation.
Being of the same Immortal Dao Curse lineage, she had no fear of the characteristics of the Immortal Dao Curse, which was her advantage.
The three women working together, even facing five Pseudo-Emperor level powerhouses, could not gain any advantage. However, what angered the five Pseudo-Emperors the most was that if this continued, the three women would inevitably break the formation.
They might even turn the tables and win after breaking the formation.
It was unexpected that although the three women were not at their peak, their combat power remained formidable, and they were not to be trifled with.
The battles between Pseudo-Emperors were like clashes between deities. Even if they won, killing their opponents was not easy.
After all, souls were the hardest to kill. Just like back then, although Zi Xuan had killed Bi Luo and Dong Hua, she couldn't do anything to their souls.
She could only imprison them in the Yellow Springs World.
Only Yun Fan, that pervert, could destroy souls along with their bodies. But at this moment, Yun Fan was comprehending the Pseudo-Emperor realm.
It was clear that he seemed to be missing out on this battle.
Of course, the battles between Sacred Ancestors were not as complicated. Victory meant survival, and defeat meant death.
There were no other outcomes.
Just like now.
Hongmeng Gaitian was using his Hongmeng Power, fighting against two Sacred Ancestor-level experts, one of whom was at the same third realm as him.
The other was at the second realm. Although he was facing two opponents alone, he was, after all, the creator of the Hongmeng bloodline.
Therefore, even facing two opponents alone, he did not fall into defeat.
Just as the two Sacred Ancestor-level experts attempted to infect him with the Immortal Dao Curse, Hongmeng Gaitian immediately took action, using Yun Fan's Battle Heaven Power to directly nullify the opponents' Immortal Dao Curse.
"Be careful!"
Before the two Sacred Ancestor-level experts could fully react, Hongmeng Gaitian had already killed the second realm Sacred Ancestor.
"Hiss!"
The third realm Sacred Ancestor gasped. No matter what, he had never expected Hongmeng Gaitian's strength to be so tyrannical.
This Battle Heaven Power had perfectly exploited the situation and killed his teammate.
However, the good news was that after using this Battle Heaven Power, Hongmeng Gaitian no longer had its enhancement.
He was confident that he could defeat Hongmeng Gaitian.
"Hongmeng Gaitian, you dog who dared to betray your master, I will kill you today!"
He roared at Hongmeng Gaitian.
Hongmeng Gaitian replied, "That depends on whether you have the strength!"
The next moment, the two Sacred Ancestor-level powerhouses directly engaged in a desperate struggle.
Even the opponent hadn't expected Hongmeng Gaitian to be so decisive in going all out, which was completely beyond his expectations.
On the other side, Tian Gu and Li Gu were fighting against three Sacred Ancestors. Because of their powerful physiques, combined with Yun Fan's Battle Heaven bloodline, they seemed to have a greater chance of winning.
The three Sacred Ancestors of the Immortal Dao Curse lineage were completely no match for the father and son duo.
The father and son's advantage was not just the Battle Heaven Power; after all, their physiques were also not weak; they were a weakened version of the Heavenly Gu physique.
Although far inferior to Ni Chang's, their physiques were sufficient to deal with Sacred Ancestors, let alone the unexpected Battle Heaven Power.
Soon, the three Immortal Dao Curse Sacred Ancestors were killed by the coordinated father and son duo. However, unexpectedly, after the three Immortal Dao Curse powerhouses were killed, their three incomplete souls merged.
The father and son's expressions became solemn, but at this moment, they could only fight with all their might.
Zhan Tianbubai and Nightmare Sacred Ancestor were each fighting one Sacred Ancestor, but their strength was relatively the weakest among the Sacred Ancestors present.
Therefore, their battles were evenly matched. It seemed that it would be difficult to determine a winner anytime soon.
After all, both sides were evenly matched. Thus, their situation, while seemingly difficult, was without peril.
Of course, the person with the least pressure on the entire battlefield and who repeatedly created miracles was undoubtedly the Heart of Curse. After all, her curse was a level-max curse!
She was by no means a pushover, so at this moment, she unleashed her full power.
Because she was an apostate of the Immortal Dao Curse lineage, all the Sacred Ancestors of the Immortal Dao Curse lineage wanted to kill her and earn merit.
After all, killing a traitor could earn double merit. Therefore, this time, the Immortal Dao Curse lineage directly sent three Sacred Ancestors to surround and kill her.
At this moment, she was already seriously injured, but for the three Sacred Ancestors of the Immortal Dao Curse, it was not a problem.
Because two Sacred Ancestor-level experts had already been killed by her, and the remaining Sacred Ancestor, though unharmed, was terrified out of his wits by the Heart of Curse.
"Why can your curse suppress our curses?"
He asked the Heart of Curse unwillingly.
If it weren't for the Heart of Curse's curse suppressing theirs just now, his two companions wouldn't have died.
The Heart of Curse sneered, "Because your curses are all trash. Mine is the strongest!"
"Impossible!"
He cursed, "Why is the curse of a traitor so monstrous?"
Undoubtedly, he was afraid. Even though the Heart of Curse was seriously injured, he didn't dare to attack her directly. After all, he was one realm higher than the Heart of Curse.
The Heart of Curse was at the second realm, and he was at the third. Despite such a gap, and with the Heart of Curse being seriously injured, he still didn't dare to attack.
This showed how terrifying the Heart of Curse was.
In fact, there was a reason why the Heart of Curse had become so powerful. In the Great Thousand World, her talent was not much inferior to Yun Fan's.
Many times, Yun Fan had suffered losses at her hands. In the decades since she broke through to the Sacred Ancestor realm, she had actually forged a new path.
This path was her fusion of Yun Fan's Battle Heaven Power and Curse Power, allowing both to coexist and complement each other.
Therefore, she had achieved her current formidable combat power. The Battle Heaven Power was powerful in offense, while the Curse Power was astonishing in recovery.
With these conditions, she was able to stand out. The two second-realm Sacred Ancestors whose souls she had annihilated were her spoils.
Even when facing the peak third-realm Sacred Ancestor before her, she was not intimidated. It could be said that if not for Yun Fan, that monstrous being, she would be the biggest anomaly in heaven and earth.
Although her cultivation realm increased far slower than Yun Fan's, Yun Fan was like a cheat.
There was no way to compare them. If they were to truly compare, Yun Fan's bug of devouring others' power would have to be removed.
If all the bugs were removed, what would Yun Fan be? What would he be then!
At this moment, the Heart of Curse sneered, "The strongest curse is not the curse from your Immortal Dao Curse headquarters, but I have mastered a stronger curse! Therefore, your curses are about to be surpassed by me!"
"Surpassed?"
The other party said coldly, "The Immortal Dao Curse has remained the strongest for countless years. Do you think you, a junior, can surpass it with a mere change? You think too highly of yourself!"
"I think I can!"
The Heart of Curse said disdainfully, "If you don't believe me, feel free to try!"
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
He roared at the Heart of Curse in anger.
The Heart of Curse replied, "If you're not afraid, then why don't you dare to come and fight me to the death?"
"You're courting death!"
The next moment, he charged forward in fury. He couldn't believe that he, who was one realm higher and already seriously injured, would not be able to defeat the Heart of Curse?
Therefore, at this moment, he adjusted his power to an invincible state and charged at the Heart of Curse.
The Heart of Curse naturally did not fear. Her strength lay in putting herself in mortal danger to survive. Without this characteristic, she would not have become stronger.
...
In the Great Thousand World, at this moment, Yun Fan's comprehension of the Pseudo-Emperor realm had reached the most critical juncture.
He could feel that a cataclysmic battle was already taking place outside the Great Thousand World.
But at this moment, Yun Fan was not in a hurry to help, because he knew that as long as he did not break through to Pseudo-Emperor,
He could only kill some Sacred Ancestors by helping, which had little significance to him. Only Pseudo-Emperors were his opponents.
After all, in this era, Pseudo-Emperors were beings that surpassed the peak.
Moreover, at this critical juncture, as long as he took one step forward, it would be a symbol of surpassing invincibility.
"Still just a little bit, just a little bit!"
Yun Fan gritted his teeth and said. It was just this tiny bit, but for him at this moment, it was harder than ascending to heaven.
Indeed, Pseudo-Emperor was not something ordinary people could break through. Even with all his preparations, he still couldn't break through to Pseudo-Emperor.
He was always one step away from this realm.
Therefore, at this moment, Yun Fan was constantly trying to find a way. Although the Great Thousand World had the upper hand,
Everyone knew that the Immortal Dao Curse lineage had profound reserves, and no one dared to say with certainty that they could suppress the Immortal Dao Curse.
He did not want to miss this battle. If he missed it, there might be significant losses.
In such an urgent situation, Yun Fan found that his realm was becoming increasingly erratic.
Therefore, at this moment, he could only let himself meditate.
In his meditation, he actually created a powerful enemy for himself.
At this moment, a figure quietly appeared in his world, a phantom figure.
"You mean?"
Yun Fan asked coldly. He didn't know when the other party had appeared, but he was certain that the opponent was an enemy he had conjured in his meditation.
The other party calmly said, "Haven't you always wanted to surpass me? Now I stand before you. How will you surpass me?"
"Heavenly Emperor!"
Yun Fan said coldly.
"That's right. You have some discernment!"
The Heavenly Emperor phantom sneered. Although he was an enemy conjured by Yun Fan, his strength was extremely powerful.
When he was a Pseudo-Emperor, he was truly perfect, so perfect that one couldn't find any flaws.
At this moment, Yun Fan said coldly, "You are the enemy I have always wanted to defeat. Since you have appeared, I will defeat you!"
"Since ancient times, I have been an invincible existence, and the only one to surpass the Pseudo-Emperor. It is probably impossible for you to defeat me!"
He spoke to Yun Fan with disdain and mockery, not taking Yun Fan seriously at all.
Yun Fan said, "Just because others have not reached this realm does not mean I cannot!"
"You cannot!"
The Heavenly Emperor said disdainfully.
The next moment, Yun Fan took the initiative to attack. The Heavenly Emperor he conjured was a Pseudo-Emperor level powerhouse.
If he could defeat the opponent, it would be enough to prove that he had surpassed the Heavenly Emperor of his generation.
Therefore, Yun Fan had to overcome this hurdle, and he had to win.
Otherwise, his inner demons would always follow him and never dissipate. This was not the outcome Yun Fan desired.
In an instant, the Heavenly Emperor attacked. Although Yun Fan's move was a full-power strike, it was easily blocked by him.
"How is this possible?"
Yun Fan was dumbfounded. This full-power strike, for the Heavenly Emperor of his generation, shouldn't it be very strenuous?
Unexpectedly, the other party met it so easily, completely exceeding Yun Fan's expectations.
The Heavenly Emperor sneered, "I thought you were so strong. I didn't expect you to have only this much strength. I said you couldn't do it, and you can't!"
These words completely angered Yun Fan. Following this, he unleashed all thirty-six of his boxing techniques.
Each move struck the Heavenly Emperor, but the Heavenly Emperor remained unmoved, not even resisting Yun Fan.
"How can you be so strong?"
Yun Fan's expression changed drastically. He had not expected the opponent's strength to completely exceed his expectations, and even he felt despair.
The Heavenly Emperor said disdainfully, "I am the strongest existence throughout the ages. How can your petty tricks possibly defeat me!"
"Do you really think that just because you can restrain the Immortal Dao Curse, you can reach my level?"
The Heavenly Emperor chuckled playfully. "You are wrong. The Immortal Dao Curse is not necessary for me. Without the Immortal Dao Curse, your techniques would be不堪一击 (不堪一击 - unable to withstand a single blow)!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan gnashed his teeth in hatred, but the facts were before him, and even he had to admit it.
"Now it's my turn to act!"
The next moment, the Heavenly Emperor unleashed his full Pseudo-Emperor power and attacked Yun Fan. With this move, it seemed to stir heaven and earth.
It was truly terrifying. It was hard to imagine Yun Fan surviving this move.
But at this moment, Yun Fan's action was despairing. It was not for any other reason, but because he, like the Heavenly Emperor, made no defense, but allowed the Heavenly Emperor's move to strike him.
Boom!
The outcome was unexpected. Yun Fan also remained unmoved, suffering no injuries. On the contrary, the Heavenly Emperor's expression was one of utter disbelief.
"How is this possible?"
He looked at Yun Fan unwillingly.
Yun Fan said, "You are an enemy I conjured. Your strength or weakness is not in you, but in me! If I want you to be invincible, you are invincible. If I want you to be useless, you are useless!"
Bang!
The next moment, he threw a punch, sending the Heavenly Emperor flying.
