Chapter 199:Emperor's Fate (Part 15)

Su Chen arrived near the Emperor's Tomb.

Countless geniuses surrounded the area, yet none dared to take a single step forward. They looked at the white-robed monk sitting cross-legged in front of the tomb with unparalleled fear in their eyes.

The white-robed monk's aura was world-shaking. With every breath, a golden body millions of feet tall manifested, suppressing the starry river. He was a monstrous genius at the Saint King realm!

"You were waiting for me?"

Su Chen's words were unquestionable, breaking the silence of the starry skies. Countless beings turned to look. Someone recognized Su Chen and exclaimed in shock, "That's the Ye Clan's Emperor Son… the monster hailed as the one who should have attained the Dao in this era, yet cursed by a mysterious existence with the Soul Extinguishing Curse. He cannot possibly live past a hundred years!"

Su Chen: "..."

No one believed anymore that Su Chen could survive another hundred years.

However, the white-robed monk said, "You are the Ye Clan's Emperor Son? If so, then this king was indeed waiting for you."

Su Chen raised his head and saw a terrifying killing intent blooming in the monk's eyes.

"So it's someone from the Heavenly Palace!"

Su Chen recognized the Heavenly Palace emblem in the monk's eyes. On the Emperor Path, the Heavenly Palace was undoubtedly one of the top major forces, and now their target was him.

The white-robed monk's words confirmed Su Chen's suspicions.

"The Grand Priest said you must be killed. I do not believe you can survive the Soul Extinguishing Curse for a hundred years, but this is an order from the Grand Priest. No one can disobey!"

The white-robed monk stood with his hands behind his back, like a supreme deity ruling over all living beings, delivering the final countdown to Su Chen's life.

This scene enraged Su Chen's followers. Ji Changkong immediately volunteered, "Let me go tear him apart!"

Su Chen shook his head.

"You are not his opponent. None of you are."

Although Ji Changkong possessed the Holy Spirit body and unmatched combat strength, he had not yet stepped into that forbidden domain. The gap between a Saint and a Saint King was already enormous, not to mention that the white-robed monk was no ordinary Saint King.

Su Chen rose into the air and walked out of the warship. Boundless immortal light surged from his body as the power of the Flying Immortal Dao Body manifested for the first time. It was as if he was shuttling through the gaps of time. In just a single blink, Su Chen had already crossed ten thousand miles.

Su Chen stood before the white-robed monk and said calmly, "The Heavenly Palace's Grand Priest truly possesses the ability to foresee the future. However… he should never have sent you."

Su Chen also had some understanding of the Heavenly Palace. The Grand Priest could briefly foresee the future, though the price was enormous… This was an extremely dangerous figure. He had likely foreseen that Su Chen would not die and had specifically sent a Saint King-level monster to lie in wait here, intending to completely strangle him.

The white-robed monk's pupils suddenly contracted. Before his eyes could even close, Su Chen was already standing in front of him. There was no trace of panic on Su Chen's face, only the bearing of a supreme immortal.

The white-robed monk could not help but ask, "Why?"

Su Chen made his move. His speed was beyond comprehension. Before his words even reached the white-robed monk's ears, the monk felt a sharp pain in his chest. Only then did Su Chen's voice arrive: "Because… you are simply too weak."

A beating heart appeared in Su Chen's hand. Buddhist runes and scriptures flowed endlessly around it, dripping with golden blood.

A gaping hole had appeared in the white-robed monk's chest. He could hardly believe it. In a single instant, his heart had been plucked out. At this moment, only one thought remained in the white-robed monk's mind.

"Escape!"

The Grand Priest had doomed him! What kind of monster was this? In a single exchange, he had been heavily injured!

Su Chen watched the white-robed monk's fleeing back, casually took out a Saint Sword, and gently slashed toward him.

A sword light split the starry sea in two. Accompanied by a miserable scream, what chilled the surrounding beings to the bone was that a powerful Saint King who had suppressed the starry sea and tried to monopolize the Great Emperor's opportunities had died just like that!

At the same moment, a terrifying Extreme Dao aura suddenly erupted from within the originally sealed Great Emperor Tomb. Immediately afterward, a blurry object flew out.

An Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon!

The Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon of a former Great Emperor had actually fallen into Su Chen's hands. Clearly, it had acknowledged him and wished to pass on the Great Emperor's inheritance to him!

Everyone was numb.

"Will the Ye Clan's Emperor Son really die in a hundred years?"

If it had been before, they would have been absolutely certain that no one in this world could survive the Soul Extinguishing Curse. But now… If anyone could survive the Soul Extinguishing Curse, it would definitely be the Ye Clan's Emperor Son. It would actually feel unbelievable if such a figure died to the curse!

He had slain a powerful enemy across realms with ease and obtained the recognition of an Emperor Weapon, which willingly delivered the Great Emperor's inheritance to him. Yet strangely, no one felt even the slightest trace of jealousy. They all felt that this was simply how it should be.

Su Chen calmly returned to the warship. The opportunities within the Emperor Tomb had fallen into his hands with surprising ease. Only at this moment did everyone truly catch a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg that was the bearing of a Great Emperor.

Having obtained the Great Emperor's opportunities, Su Chen prepared to return to the Emperor Pass to study them.

"Ye Clan Emperor Son! Please accept me. I wish to follow you!"

The Black Dragon Crown Prince, who had been suppressed by the white-robed monk, flew out and chased after the warship. He transformed into human form and dropped to his knees before Su Chen with a loud thud.

Although the Black Dragon Crown Prince had been suppressed by the white-robed monk, no one considered him weak. He was a monster with the potential to reach the Heavenly King level. Yet now he showed not the slightest arrogance as he knelt before another person and offered to follow him.

Under normal circumstances, this scene would have caused a huge stir. But today, it was the most insignificant little matter.

Su Chen looked down. The Black Dragon Crown Prince's expression was sincere.

"I still lack a mount."

The Black Dragon Crown Prince's face lit up with joy. There was no shame at all. Instead, he repeatedly said, "Thank you, Master! I am willing to be the Master's mount!"

Only such a person was worthy of having him as a mount. He would follow to the death!

Su Chen nodded. Another black dragon had joined the warship.

Su Chen began to comprehend the Great Emperor's inheritance brought by the Emperor Weapon.

Meanwhile, the warship continued sailing deeper into the Emperor Path.

Chapter 200: Emperor's Fate (Part 16)

The news that the Ye Clan's Emperor Son had subdued the Black Dragon Crown Prince and obtained the fortune of an Emperor Weapon spread rapidly. Even a member of the Heavenly Palace had been personally slain by the Ye Clan's Emperor Son.

The entire starry sky was shaken.

"It seems the Ye Clan's Emperor Son has cultivated for less than a hundred years. There are no weaklings in the Heavenly Palace, and the Bright-Eyed King was one of their finest, hailed as having the potential to become the ninth Heavenly King. Yet he was killed by the Ye Clan's Emperor Son, who has cultivated for less than a century!"

"Now the Ye Clan's Emperor Son has formed a deep grudge with the Heavenly Palace. The Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace stands at the peak of the Emperor Path and is one of the strongest in the current era, with the highest chance of becoming Emperor. Very few people on the Emperor Path can contend with him."

"Not necessarily… The Ye Clan's Emperor Son is a short-lived ghost. He might just be a flash in the pan. The Soul Extinguishing Curse cannot be resolved!"

"Yes… What a pity. If the Ye Clan's Emperor Son had not been cursed with the Soul Extinguishing Curse, what kind of talent would he have displayed? He would have been one of the most promising figures of this era to become Emperor!"

"Calculating the time, it should be approaching the final deadline since the Ye Clan's Emperor Son was cursed with the Soul Extinguishing Curse. The Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon and the Great Emperor's inheritance he obtained will surely stir the hearts of many!"

"This Emperor Path… is truly not peaceful~"

"..."

...

In a certain domain, Su Chen was comprehending the Great Emperor's inheritance he had obtained at the fifth Emperor Pass. The Great Emperor's inheritance he received was called the Flying Immortal Classic, left behind by the previous generation's Flying Immortal Dao Body.

The aura of the Flying Immortal Dao Body that Su Chen displayed had drawn the Emperor Weapon left behind by a former Flying Immortal Great Emperor. The weapon's spirit had acknowledged Su Chen and, on behalf of the Flying Immortal Great Emperor, accepted him as a disciple, imparting the Emperor Scripture and the profound mysteries of the Great Accomplishment Flying Immortal Dao Body.

The Great Emperor, who had proven the Dao with the Flying Immortal Dao Body in the past, was undoubtedly the best teacher for Su Chen in this life and would bring him the greatest fortune. In just a few short decades, Su Chen's comprehension of the Flying Immortal Dao Body had advanced by leaps and bounds.

In Su Chen's mind floated a small pagoda that emitted the power of the Flying Immortal. This small pagoda was the legendary Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon left behind by the former Flying Immortal Great Emperor.

Su Chen opened his eyes and looked into the depths of space. His Myriad Laws Heavenly Eyes flowed as he saw dense clusters of auras hidden in the profound darkness.

"A bunch of rats!"

He calculated the time. It had already been a hundred years since he was afflicted with the Soul Extinguishing Curse. No living being cursed with the Soul Extinguishing Curse had ever survived past a hundred years.

Countless prodigies on the Emperor Path who coveted the Great Emperor's inheritance were waiting for the moment the Soul Extinguishing Curse erupted so they could fight over the inheritance. No one could remain unmoved by the inheritance of a Great Emperor!

Su Chen lowered his gaze. The aura around his body rapidly declined, making him appear old and frail. Then he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"The Soul Extinguishing Curse only lasts a hundred years. Is heaven determined to destroy me, Ye Chen?"

Su Chen questioned the unfairness of the heavens, his voice filled with sorrow. The Ye Clan's Emperor Son… was truly finished! His aura was fading, and the flame of his life was extinguishing!

"Even someone as strong as the Ye Clan's Emperor Son could not escape the Soul Extinguishing Curse."

Some people watched the scene and felt pity in their hearts. But more than that, there was greed! After all… that was an Emperor Weapon! Along with the inheritance of a Great Emperor, who would not be tempted?

Among the dense cluster of auras, one particular presence was rapidly growing stronger. A being with tentacles on its head and a green shell on its back gradually revealed itself.

"A dying man is nothing to fear! Since none of you are taking this Emperor Dao inheritance, then I shall take it!"

The green-skinned being was extremely arrogant. He was clearly a Saint realm existence. He directly stretched out a hand, intending to seize Su Chen.

At that moment, a terrifying aura charged over, wreathed in black flames. Upon closer inspection, it was the black mudfish coiled beside Su Chen, suddenly erupting with heaven-shaking momentum.

"Black Dragon Crown Prince, is that you?"

The green-skinned being clearly recognized him and spoke with some wariness, "The Ye Clan's Emperor Son is about to die. Why do you still insist on following him?"

The Black Dragon Crown Prince roared furiously, "My master will not die. The ones who will die are you lot! You people only dare to show up when my master is in great trouble. If my master had not been severely injured, which of you insignificant rats would have the courage to show your faces?"

The green-skinned being coldly shouted, "Stubborn fool!"

The green-skinned being and the Black Dragon Crown Prince clashed. Yet in just a few exchanges, the purgatory spear in the Black Dragon Crown Prince's hand pierced straight through the green-skinned being, dyeing the starry skies with blood.

Too powerful!

In the mere decades he had followed Su Chen, the Black Dragon Crown Prince's combat strength had risen another level!

Seeing this scene, several terrifying auras simultaneously appeared in the starry skies and surrounded the Black Dragon Crown Prince. These were all extremely fearsome prodigies!

"A black dragon's entire body is a treasure. We can extract its dragon tendons, drink its dragon blood, and use its dragon soul to forge artifacts!"

Their target was actually the Black Dragon Crown Prince!

A great battle erupted!

But this was far from over. While the Black Dragon Crown Prince was held back, more beings appeared and charged straight toward Su Chen.

A giant hand pressed down directly on those powerful beings rushing over. In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere as more than ten Saint realm beings were brutally killed. A being radiating golden light stood domineering and unrivaled.

"It's an innate Holy Spirit! The Ye Clan's Emperor Son is truly extraordinary to have subdued such an arrogant innate Holy Spirit!"

Slaughtering beings of the same realm like ants—the innate Holy Spirit's power was terrifying.

Yet even so, supreme experts who had been lying in wait in the starry skies still emerged. This was a sealed Saint King realm prodigy who had come out because of the Great Emperor's inheritance. He charged straight toward Ji Changkong and laughed arrogantly, "An innate Holy Spirit indeed possesses unmatched combat strength, but your cultivation is far too weak! Today, I shall slay the legendary innate Holy Spirit and stain your blood!"

The Saint King attacked abruptly, but Ji Changkong's expression remained unchanged. Countless laws descended from above his head as his flawless body threw a punch, clashing fiercely with the Saint King.

The realm gap was indeed huge… but for an innate being with such origins, the realm was not the only factor that decided victory or defeat!

The Saint King was torn apart alive!

The auras that had been coveting Su Chen's secrets now turned to fear. They had made one critical mistake… Even if the Ye Clan's Emperor Son died, his followers could easily kill them all. Whether it was the Black Dragon Crown Prince or Ji Changkong, both were first-rate geniuses who stood proudly above the masses on the Emperor Path!

"Does this mean that even if the Ye Clan's Emperor Son dies… no one can obtain the Great Emperor's inheritance?"

They had all been waiting for Su Chen to die, believing that once he was gone, they would have a chance to fight for the Great Emperor's inheritance… Yet…

Reality had dealt them a heavy blow!
