Starting with Proficiency Panel

Moreover, this process is fraught with uncertainty. After all, Lu Ren handled it with such ease, even with a touch of carefree elegance, making them unsure whether this would truly kill the contemporary Emperor.

In contrast, should they reach the pinnacle and transform into a Flawless Ancient Emperor, once their power is exhausted, nearly ninety-nine percent would face life and death. Even if they don't die, they are not far from it. How then could they anticipate the opening of the Path to Immortality a million years later to battle on that path?

Thoughts swirled in their minds, yet it did not affect Lu Ren's actions in the slightest. He took a direct step forward, arriving at the edge of the Taichu Ancient Mine.

In the Ancient Times, within the Taichu Ancient Mine, Holy Beasts like True Dragons, Blood Phoenixes, and Qilins lay dormant, waiting for their opportunity. These Exotic Beast races have far longer lifespans than Human Race Emperors. Even if they sever a blade themselves, one can still sense the thriving lifeforce and qi and blood of these ancient Holy Beasts at the mine's edge.

Sensing the terrifying aura of several Emperors explosively emerging from within the Ancient Mine, the Cosmos shook. Saints of Ten Thousand Races widened their eyes, eager to see clearly which Emperor that had achieved the Dao and was prepared to flatten the Restricted Area they would encounter.

Within just a few breaths, they saw three towering figures suffused with Emperor Path auras emerging from the depths of the Ancient Mine.

Lu Ren raised his eyebrows slightly. The qi and blood of these three Ancient Emperors were pure, untouched by any grievances from the Dark Disturbance, clearly having never participated in such chaos.

One Qilin surrounded by Immortal Light seemed to nurture an immortal spirit aura, alongside an Emperor Path Supreme Weapon, a royal Phoenix-winged golden halberd. Within the weapon clearly resided a True Phoenix.

The aura of a True Dragon permeated, pressing the ages into submission with the Dragon Emperor.

These three were undoubtedly the pinnacle among the Holy Beasts. Naturally superior in power to the Human Race, once they reached the realm of Holy Emperor, their strength was unparalleled, and they once sought to suppress the Restricted Area and overawe the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands as Supremes.

But now they themselves had chosen to sever a blade, entered the Restricted Area willingly, withdrew their qi and blood, sealed themselves within the Divine Source, and awaited the Path to Immortality's challenges a million years later.

The qi and blood of the three, boiling to the extreme, wove through the entire Grand Cosmos. The Legal Principle they reflected upon trembled, causing the Grand Cosmos to sense, with billions of wondrous flowers falling and strands of precious purple qi permeating, transforming this Taichu Ancient Mine thoroughly into a seething Immortal Realm.

Lu Ren's eyes were profound, a divine light shining brightly. Watching these Holy Beasts hidden within the Taichu Ancient Mine emerge, he whispered lightly, "Is there truly no one left in Taichu Ancient Mine that you three have been sent to meet me?"

These words were not a taunt but a recognition that the qi and blood of these three Holy Beast Supremes were pure, without the slightest taint of those vengeful spirits' blood fiend. The Immortal Platform was also bright and clear, clearly having never participated in any Dark Disturbances.

Obviously, it was to prevent Lu Ren from having a reason to attack.

The three Holy Beasts exchanged glances, a faint bitter smile on their faces. The person before them wielded terrifying power, having already slain three Flawless Emperors without a scratch. Such terrifying prowess, they felt they could not match.

This Fierce Person's intent in coming to the Taichu Ancient Mine was clear—it seemed evident he wanted to accomplish what the previous two Holy Emperors, Taiyin and Taiyang, could not finish: subduing the Restricted Area and quelling the Dark Disturbance.

"Greetings to the Human Emperor of the present age," the Holy Dragon Emperor spoke calmly, his face serene, bowing slightly but with dignity, "We have always cultivated in the Taichu Ancient Mine, never having participated in any Dark Disturbance. We hope you spare us."

Lu Ren said, "That's not a problem. Bring out those from within your Ancient Mine who have initiated Dark Disturbances before, and without another word, I'll turn around and leave."

As he spoke, Lu Ren carefully sensed the area. Earlier, two had ventured out from the Taichu Ancient Mine and were both slain by him. Now, those Supremes who had once initiated Dark Disturbances were hiding away, becoming laughably timid.

As he spoke, Lu Ren felt a stirring in his heart and instead said, "You three, your qi and blood are pure, your Immortal Platform clear, all because of relying on your own power to endure. Why not join me in pacifying this Ancient Mine? Then you three could live freely here, boundlessly enjoying your days?"

The three Supreme Holy Beasts were visibly taken aback, somewhat caught off guard. They truly hadn't expected Lu Ren to reverse the roles and become a persuader, urging them to turn and battle the Restricted Area.

Lu Ren spoke without reservation, beginning to persuade continuously. His words bore no disguise, intended for the Supremes inside the Restricted Area to hear.

These Supremes are largely selfish individuals. As long as it benefits them, after weighing the pros and cons, they would absolutely not hesitate if it were of great advantage to them.

Even though these three had not participated in the Dark Disturbance, severing a blade themselves and sealing into the Restricted Area was originally to live on, awaiting the million-year Path to Immortality to strive for longevity.

Apart from the innate long lifespan due to being Holy Beasts, including the True Dragon Blood Phoenix clan, whose own qi and blood remain vigorous, it's also because within this Grand Cosmos, their descendants are sealed within the Divine Source, creating ties that prevented them from actively participating.

Deep within the Taichu Ancient Mine, a few cold snorts could be heard upon listening to Lu Ren's unabashed words, clearly discontent with Lu Ren's actions.

Seeing the three Supreme Holy Beasts remain silent, Lu Ren sighed deeply, finally saying, "Should you be interested, you can come along. Otherwise, if you wish to attack me, I am quite willing."

As he spoke, Lu Ren fully unfolded his Witch God Body, standing ten thousand feet tall, his skin ancient like bronze yet shining brilliantly, and his qi and blood surged to the cosmos.

Immediately after, one could see Lu Ren lift his foot, stepping down and covering the entirety of the Taichu Ancient Mine.

"He actually attacked the Taichu Ancient Mine without hesitation!"

A Great Saint of the Human Race was filled with disbelief, feeling that this newly ascended Human Holy Emperor was exceedingly reckless, charging directly into the Taichu Ancient Mine without any preparation.

Some did not view this favorably and sighed, "What good is slaying one or two Supremes? The Taichu Ancient Mine is named the Life Forbidden Area, where for countless millennia, at least a dozen Supremes reside within. To rush in without a second thought, there's a high probability of being slain in the Restricted Area."

"Presumptuous!"

Several voices within the Restricted Area emitted cold snorts in unison. Subsequently, sixteen Supreme auras revived simultaneously, ready to confront the battle instigated by this unparalleled Human Emperor.

In an instant, the entire Taichu Ancient Mine emitted divine light, with rays of immortal radiance contending fiercely. The terrifying power nearly overturned the whole Taichu Ancient Mine.

Sages of various races and elderly Great Saints had never witnessed such a sight of ten or twenty Supreme auras reviving in unison. The terrifying awe seeped out of the Life Forbidden Area, shaking the entire Beidou Star Realm.

"Human Emperor, if you withdraw now, you can still live. If we emerge, you will find it inescapable,"

One sighed deeply, "Human Emperor, even if you flatten the Restricted Area today and stop the Dark Disturbance, how many would remember your acts of great merit?"
