SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Smoke was spreading, dust flying in all directions.

The eternal Heavenly Dao Arena was now split into pieces, like a continent about to sink.

"Truly terrifying, even the arena is being destroyed." Some prodigies felt their hearts tremble.

The Heavenly Dao Arena had restriction runes, making it difficult for even the strongest battles to damage it.

But now, the entire arena was almost shattered, showing how intense the battle between Ye Guchen and Jun Xiaoyao was, capable of destroying heaven and earth with each move.

This hardly seemed like a battle between two Saints, but rather two Supreme Beings.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on them.

The dust scattered.

Jun Xiaoyao's figure appeared, his white clothes like snow, pure and spotless.

With hands behind his back, his expression was calm, like a still lake surface, undisturbed.

On the other side, Ye Guchen's figure also appeared.

He was kneeling on one knee, his Emperor-Slaying Sword planted diagonally in the ground, blood continuously flowing from the corner of his mouth.

The victor and loser were clear at a glance!

After a moment of dead silence, thunderous clamor erupted.

"He won, the Divine Son of the Jun family won!"

"Indeed, the Jun family's Divine Son is the invincible legend of the younger generation!"

"The undefeated myth continues, Jun Xiaoyao is the strongest king of the Emperor's Path in our Desolate Heaven Realm!"

From all directions came exclamations of amazement!

Awe!

Worship!

Fervor!

Jun Xiaoyao, forever the god!

Jiang Shengyi, Jiang Luoli, Jun Moxiao, Jun Lingcang, and others all showed genuine joy on their faces.

Jun Xiaoyao winning the title of Emperor's Path King made them happier than if they had won it themselves.

"So he still lost?"

Ye Nantian, the ancient prodigy of the Ye family, sighed deeply.

Although earlier, he had vaguely anticipated this outcome.

But Ye Guchen still gave people the illusion that he might end Jun Xiaoyao's undefeated legend.

Now it seemed that an illusion was just an illusion.

"It seems that apart from those forbidden prodigies on the Ultimate Ancient Path, no one can threaten the Jun family's Divine Son anymore," Ye Nantian lamented.

At least among the younger generation in the Desolate Heaven Realm, Jun Xiaoyao was undisputedly number one.

"I lost."

On the shattered arena, Ye Guchen slowly stood up, coughing up another mouthful of blood.

However, his expression showed no dejection.

He simply acknowledged his defeat in a calm tone.

"To last so long against me, you should be proud," Jun Xiaoyao said.

Ye Guchen shook his head slightly and said, "I can feel that you weren't using your full strength. If you had gone all out, I probably couldn't have lasted this long."

Hearing Ye Guchen's words, the prodigies present nodded slightly.

Indeed.

Jun Xiaoyao's most shocking ability was undoubtedly that fusion of two techniques, the terrifying move that annihilated a thousand people.

During this battle, Jun Xiaoyao hadn't used this move.

Clearly, Jun Xiaoyao had indeed held back.

But... had he only held back a little?

Some prodigies suddenly realized that Jun Xiaoyao's Saint Body manifestation, Supreme Bone, and many other trump cards hadn't been revealed.

Strictly speaking, Jun Xiaoyao had indeed held back tremendously.

To this, Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.

If he could defeat an opponent with one-tenth of his strength, why would he use his full power?

Seeing Jun Xiaoyao's attitude, Ye Guchen sighed inwardly.

Then, he suddenly began to laugh.

First a light chuckle, then a hearty laugh, finally a loud laugh to the heavens.

"What's wrong, is Ye Guchen unable to handle the defeat?"

Seeing Ye Guchen like this, many suspected he was emotionally unstable, that his dao heart was about to collapse.

After all, anyone facing this freak Jun Xiaoyao would have their dao heart collapse.

The former minor Saint of the Ji family, Ji Xuan, was a living example.

But to everyone's surprise, after laughing, Ye Guchen's eyes showed no dejection, but rather excitement.

"How long has it been since I've tasted defeat? Standing at the top is so lonely."

"From now on, I have a new goal, which is to surpass you, Jun Xiaoyao!"

Ye Guchen's eyes burned with fighting spirit.

There's nothing wrong with admitting defeat; what matters is whether one can get up after falling.

"Good, I'll be waiting," Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly.

Ye Guchen was a rare opponent who earned his respect.

In the sky, Supreme Being Du Tuo saw this scene and murmured thoughtfully, "This defeat may not be a bad thing for Ye Guchen, but rather a kind of rebirth and renewal."

With this, the Emperor's Path King battle concluded.

Jun Xiaoyao was undoubtedly the strongest king.

But Ye Guchen, with his self-created Ten Thousand Gods Calamity move alone, deserved to be ranked first on the Desolate Heaven Sacred Ranking.

No one would ridicule or mock Ye Guchen.

Because apart from Jun Xiaoyao, it was almost impossible for any other prodigy to withstand the Ten Thousand Gods Calamity sword.

And just as the battle's outcome was determined.

The entire Heavenly Dao Arena suddenly had Great Dao patterns spreading.

In the void, flowers fell from the sky, golden lotuses emerged from the ground, true dragons soared, and qilins trod the sea, various auspicious omens manifested.

"This is..." Some prodigies looked surprised.

"It seems the Heavenly Dao reward is coming," Supreme Being Du Tuo was unsurprised.

Nine Emperor's Paths, with nine Emperor's Path Kings.

They could receive the Heavenly Dao rewards from their respective realms, and gain destiny enhancement from the mysterious forces.

"I wonder what the Jun family Divine Son's Heavenly Dao reward will be?"

Many were anticipating.

Jun Xiaoyao's performance was absolutely brilliant, unprecedented.

Logically, his Heavenly Dao reward should also be the most generous in history.

Sure enough.

On the Heavenly Dao Arena, the five Dao Certification Seals rose into the air, releasing boundless light.

Then, a shocking scene appeared.

Throughout the entire Desolate Heaven Battlefield, all the Dao Certification Seals converged toward those five seals.

"No, my Dao Certification Seal!"

"My Dao Certification Seal is gone too!"

Some minor powerhouses' expressions changed.

They found that the Dao Certification Seals they had worked so hard to obtain were flying away on their own.

All prodigies, including those from the Jiang and Jun families, saw their Dao Certification Seals converge.

In the end, several hundred Dao Certification Seals gathered together.

"This..."

Even Supreme Being Du Tuo was dumbfounded.

All the Dao Certification Seals in the Desolate Heaven Realm had concentrated in one place.

Was this placing all hopes on Jun Xiaoyao alone?

Ordinary prodigies would be extremely powerful with just one Dao Certification Seal.

Now with hundreds gathered together, if they all empowered Jun Xiaoyao.

What kind of scene would that be?

Jun Xiaoyao might ascend on the spot!

Under everyone's shocked gaze.

Hundreds of Dao Certification Seals released boundless light.

Finally, they merged into a crown!

That crown, brilliantly radiant, dazzling to the eye, carried a rich aura of the Heavenly Dao, as if it were the strongest blessing in heaven and earth!

"That is... the Heavenly Dao Crown. Whoever wears this crown will definitely become a Great Emperor!" Supreme Being Du Tuo's eyeballs bulged as he exclaimed in shock.

"What?!"

Hearing Supreme Being Du Tuo's words, all prodigies were dumbfounded, their scalps tingling.

The Heavenly Dao Crown, guaranteeing Emperor status to its wearer!

This was practically cheating!

But thinking of Jun Xiaoyao's freakish talent, everyone suddenly felt that the Heavenly Dao Crown reward was actually reasonable.

Under everyone's gaze.

The Heavenly Dao Crown slowly descended, about to be placed on Jun Xiaoyao's head.

Jun Xiaoyao remained calm, showing no joy at the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Crown.

For him, becoming an Emperor was almost certain.

The Heavenly Dao Crown seemed like gilding the lily, unnecessary.

However, just as the Heavenly Dao Crown was about to land on Jun Xiaoyao's head.

Inside Jun Xiaoyao's body, the God's Origin Point suddenly trembled slightly, that was the Dao belonging exclusively to Jun Xiaoyao himself.

Then, the Heavenly Dao Crown suddenly stopped.

Vaguely, Great Dao sounds emerged, and blurry Heavenly Dao will manifested.

"Self-created Great Dao, defying heaven and earth, eternal anomaly, forever forbidden from certification!"

This majestic Heavenly Dao voice spread throughout the entire Desolate Heaven Battlefield, throughout the entire Emperor's Path.

Throughout the entire Desolate Heaven Realm.

In the end, the entire Nine Heavens Realm, all cultivators, heard this sentence in an instant!

The entire Nine Heavens Realm was shocked and boiling at this moment!
