Chapter 201: Emperor's Fate (Part 17)

However, just when everyone thought the situation was settled, A series of grand Buddhist chants suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.

They looked up.

In the starry skies, an incomparably massive figure appeared… No, it was not just one!

They seemed to have been placed inside a painting, watched by figures outside the scroll.

Those gazes were brighter than the sun, interwoven with ancient runes. Towering, majestic existences stood there.

"Heavenly Palace… Emperor Gate… God Slaying Hall… Myriad Demons Mountain…"

Without exception, these were the most terrifying forces on the Emperor Path. At this moment, they had descended upon this Emperor Pass!

"Damn it… Wasn't it said that no Heavenly King-level existences could descend at the tenth Emperor Pass?"

Some people felt their scalps go numb with terror, because every single being that had arrived was a top figure from their respective forces. They had already been at the Great Saint realm a long time ago.

"No… they have severed their own cultivation! All of this is for the Ye Clan's Emperor Son!"

It was too terrifying. These existences who could dominate even the deeper parts of the Emperor Path had actually severed their own cultivation and paid a huge price to return from the depths of the Emperor Path to the tenth Emperor Pass—all for the sake of the Ye Clan's Emperor Son!

Ji Changkong and the Black Dragon Crown Prince had slain their enemies, yet they now faced an even more terrifying situation. Those existences could crush entire star systems with just a single breath. Even if they were unwilling to admit it, they were still like ants before these beings.

The Heavenly King level monsters from the supreme orthodoxies were whispering among themselves, discussing how to divide Su Chen.

"Come back."

A calm voice broke the heavy atmosphere. The one who had spoken was Su Chen.

Ji Changkong and the Black Dragon Crown Prince received the order and respectfully returned to Su Chen's side.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the signs of Su Chen's aging, weakness, and pallor completely vanished. His black hair cascaded over his shoulders, and beneath his profound black robe, his aura was deep and unfathomable. He was like an ancient god-king awakening, radiating eternal brilliance. There was no trace of the dying man from before.

They had been tricked! The Ye Clan's Emperor Son had never been severely injured or on the verge of death because of the Soul Extinguishing Curse! Everything had been an act!

Some beings trembled in their souls as they realized the most horrifying possibility: the Ye Clan's Emperor Son had never been heavily injured by the Soul Extinguishing Curse at all. It had all been a facade—a trap set by the Ye Clan's Emperor Son to lure out every force that harbored killing intent toward him!

"Does he… have this much confidence?"

This time, Heavenly King-level existences had even severed their own cultivation to come to the tenth Emperor Pass!

Su Chen stood high above the ancient world. His deep aura triggered heaven-shaking, earth-shattering phenomena. At this moment, a terrifying great tribulation was condensing.

The Saint King Tribulation!

The Ye Clan's Emperor Son had only cultivated for a little over a hundred years, yet he was already undergoing the Saint King Tribulation!

No one knew Su Chen's exact strength, but at this moment, everyone was shocked—including the Heavenly King-level monsters who had crossed realms. Becoming a Saint in just over a hundred years was already an earth-shaking event throughout history. Undergoing the Saint King Tribulation after a little more than a hundred years… how terrifying was that? The word "monster" was no longer enough. From the Saint realm to the Saint King realm, one still had to pass through nine layers of heaven. Advancing one layer every hundred years was already monstrous talent!

Entering the Saint King realm in a hundred years was impossible even with the Flying Immortal Dao Body. However… the vast amount of peerless divine medicines Ye Liuli had force-fed Su Chen back then had left behind residual medicinal power that he could not fully refine. Su Chen had spent a full hundred years refining that power, which allowed him to charge toward the Saint King realm in just a hundred years!

"Ye Clan Emperor Son, are you willing to join my Heavenly Palace? If you join us, the matter of you slaying our disciple can be written off. You will become a figure second only to one and above ten thousand! Your status will even be above mine!"

The Heavenly King from the Heavenly Palace was visibly moved. Such talent was enough for the Heavenly Palace to set aside their grudge and recruit him!

Su Chen sneered and directly pulled the Heavenly Palace's Saint King into the range of his tribulation. Without stopping there, he dragged the Heavenly Kings from the other forces into the tribulation range as well. He actually intended to make everyone undergo the tribulation together and slaughter them all within the calamity!

The power of the Flying Immortal swept across the battlefield. With unmatched speed and mastery over time secret arts, Su Chen condensed power between his palms and charged in all directions. These Heavenly King-level experts had severed their own cultivation to descend here—Su Chen naturally would not waste such an opportunity!

"The Emperor Path is destined to make one the enemy of the entire world!"

No one on the deeper reaches of the Emperor Path did not desire to become Emperor! Su Chen, of course, wanted to become Emperor—especially to do so in a single lifetime!

The great battle erupted. The Heavenly King from the Heavenly Palace roared in fury, "I saw that your talent was outstanding and was willing to set aside our grudge, yet you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

Su Chen charged straight toward the Heavenly Palace's Heavenly King. Both sides erupted with mighty power and clashed fiercely. While undergoing the Saint King Tribulation, Su Chen fought against the Heavenly Kings from multiple forces at once. His aura grew increasingly powerful. Bathed in the light of the Flying Immortal, he tore apart one powerful enemy after another.

Su Chen, shrouded in Flying Immortal light, looked like a true immortal, yet his slaughter of the Heavenly Kings made him resemble a demon lord descending upon the world.

"No!"

The Heavenly King from the Heavenly Palace let out a miserable scream. Su Chen's methods were simply too terrifying. In Su Chen, he saw the shadow of his own Palace Master… perhaps an existence even more terrifying than his master!

This was his final thought!

During the battle, Su Chen's Flying Immortal Body was bathed in the blood of numerous Heavenly King-level monsters and actually advanced further. The Flying Immortal Dao Body reached a minor accomplishment, and his combat strength became terrifying enough to slay Heavenly Kings. No one could escape, because no matter how fast they were, they could not outpace the Flying Immortal Dao Body.

It was utterly despairing!

The prodigies from the great worlds watched one Heavenly King-level monster after another being slaughtered and felt deep sorrow in their hearts.

"Even someone as powerful as a Heavenly King can die… The Emperor Path is littered with blood. Attaining the Dao… attaining the Dao… In the end, it is nothing but a fleeting dream!"

In one lifetime, only one person could attain the Dao. How cruel was that? No matter how peerless your talent, you would ultimately become nothing more than a stepping stone for that one person. After thousands or tens of thousands of years, your name would vanish, your footprints would disappear, and you would become nothing but a speck of insignificant dust behind that supreme figure!

From the other shore of a great world, a terrifying aura erupted following the death of the Heavenly Palace's Heavenly King.

"Whoever dares to kill a Heavenly King of my Heavenly Palace… Shall die!"

The aura was majestic and boundless. A supreme expert had crossed countless domains and made his move!

Facing that aura capable of annihilating everything, Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back.

"Courting death!"

At the same moment, an unparalleled taboo power descended!

Accompanied by a miserable scream, the aura of the Heavenly Palace's supreme expert who had crossed realms vanished without a trace.

He had ignored the rules of the Emperor Path and acted rashly. Even if he did not die, he would surely suffer greatly!

The Emperor Path fell silent. Everyone was still immersed in the shock of what had just happened.

Only Su Chen's voice echoed through the void: "This seat is Ye Chen. I intend to establish the Myriad Laws Hall, wage war across the Emperor Path, and shelter those who come after. All who have ambition and aspiration may join the Myriad Laws Hall and pursue greatness together!"

In a trance, everyone seemed to see. Yet another colossal force rising from the Emperor Path, one whose name would resound for countless ages. The name of the Myriad Laws Hall was destined to shake the universe, astonish the Emperor Path, and attract countless monsters to join it, one wave after another!

Chapter 202: Emperor's Fate (Part 18)

The Ye Clan's Emperor Son had not died!

The Ye Clan's Emperor Son had lured and slain numerous powerful enemies. Even Heavenly Kings from top forces who had severed their own cultivation to return from the depths of the Emperor Path had died at his hands!

The Ye Clan's Emperor Son had founded the Myriad Laws Hall, inviting prodigies from across the Emperor Path to join and build his faction as he waged war along the Emperor Path!

Every piece of news revolved around the Ye Clan's Emperor Son, even detonating the deeper reaches of the Emperor Path!

Throughout history, no one had ever survived a hundred years under the Soul Extinguishing Curse. The Ye Clan's Emperor Son had done it! Unprecedented! He had swept through all enemies, fully displaying an invincible bearing!

"In this era, the Ye Clan's Emperor Son may truly have hope of becoming Emperor. After all… even the Soul Extinguishing Curse could not harm him. A Holy Spirit follows him, and an Emperor Weapon has acknowledged him. These are signs of a Great Emperor!"

Some people sighed in admiration, believing the Ye Clan's Emperor Son was extraordinary.

"Empty bravado. The Ye Clan's Emperor Son has only lived for a hundred years… Can he possibly live through a second, third, or fourth hundred years? No one can resolve the Soul Extinguishing Curse!"

Others scoffed, firmly believing that the Ye Clan's Emperor Son would eventually die.

Time flowed on.

Ten years… fifty years… one hundred years…a thousand years!

A full thousand years had passed, and Su Chen still had not died. Leading the members of the Myriad Laws Hall, he had advanced all the way to the sixtieth pass of the Emperor Path, sweeping through everything without meeting a single worthy opponent!

By now, the Myriad Laws Hall was filled with numerous prodigies and had become a dominant force on the Emperor Path. His former followers had all stepped into the Saint realm. Among them, the Jade Pool Sacred Maiden, Ji Changkong, and the Black Dragon Crown Prince had even entered the Saint King realm, becoming renowned prodigies whose names resounded across the Emperor Path. They could sweep through all enemies without Su Chen needing to lift a finger!

A terrifying aura suddenly pressed down, crushing the starry river.

The members of the Myriad Laws Hall exclaimed in delight, "Master has successfully broken through to the Great Saint realm!"

Indeed, in just a thousand years, Su Chen had advanced from the Saint King realm to the Great Saint realm!

The Great Saint realm already stood at the pinnacle of the starry skies… but this was the Emperor Path, where Great Saints were not the strongest. Su Chen knew that old monsters still survived in the deeper parts of the Emperor Path. However, he was not afraid. The Great Saint realm granted him the qualification to venture deeper and compete for opportunities.

The Invincible Great Emperor was growing old. After so many years, the fortunes from the Supremes he had slain would begin spreading from the deepest parts of the Emperor Path toward the outer regions and even across the myriad races of the starry skies. Su Chen had to go deeper to seize those fortunes!

Over the years, with Yuan Ming's help and by leveraging the foundations of the Emperor Passes, the Myriad Laws Hall had occupied the best lands and developed rapidly. If Su Chen became Emperor in this life, the Myriad Laws Hall would become yet another colossal force on the Emperor Path, waiting to serve him in his next life and the life after that.

After breaking through to the Great Saint realm, Su Chen returned to the Myriad Laws Hall.

"I am heading to the deeper parts of the Emperor Path. Yuan Ming, you will stay behind to guard the Myriad Laws Hall. Once you reach the Saint King realm, you may lead the members deeper."

Yuan Ming nodded. Their cultivations were still too weak. The deeper parts of the Emperor Path held great opportunities but also great dangers. Going there rashly would only hold Su Chen back.

"Chi Yao, Ye Er, Black Dragon—come with me to the depths of the Emperor Path."

The Jade Pool Sacred Maiden, Ji Changkong, and the Black Dragon Crown Prince all nodded.

The Jade Pool Sacred Maiden had an extraordinary bloodline as the incarnation of an immortal tree fruit. Ji Changkong was an innate Holy Spirit capable of contending with taboo existences. The Black Dragon Crown Prince was only one step away from transforming into a Heavenly King-level combat force. The three of them were currently the most talented individuals in the Myriad Laws Hall and the ones Su Chen valued the most.

Su Chen left the sixtieth pass and headed toward the deeper reaches of the Emperor Path.

Only after Su Chen departed did all the geniuses at the sixtieth pass finally breathe a collective sigh of relief.

"That damn monster has finally left the sixtieth pass!"

The days with Su Chen present had been eerily peaceful at the sixtieth pass. Because no one could defeat that man… even his followers could sweep through them all.

The Myriad Laws Hall had dominated alone. Now the master of the Myriad Laws Hall had left. They had finally survived!

But what they did not know was that someone was even more excited than they were.

"Boss has taken those three freaks and headed into the deeper parts of the Emperor Path. Now that the Myriad Laws Hall is finally mine to shine!"

Ye Da and Ye San were eager and restless. They were among the earliest prodigies to follow Su Chen onto the Emperor Path. Being chosen by Su Chen meant they naturally possessed extraordinary potential and had the qualifications to reach the Heavenly King level. However, the Myriad Laws Hall contained even more monstrous existences that completely overshadowed their light.

Soon, the excitement of the geniuses at the Sixtieth Emperor Pass faded. They discovered that even without that man present, they still could not defeat the Myriad Laws Hall. The sixtieth Emperor Pass was destined to remain under the rule of the Myriad Laws Hall.

...

At this moment, Su Chen was advancing deeper into the Emperor Path. He passed through one Emperor Pass after another with ease. No powerful enemy could stop him; all were effortlessly suppressed.

Just as Su Chen stepped into the eightieth Emperor Pass, A terrifying great enemy launched a surprise attack, intending to assassinate him right there on the eightieth pass!

"This aura… it's the seventh Heavenly King under the Heavenly Palace's Palace Master — the Nether Soul Heavenly King!"

The crowd trembled. They had all heard that the Ye Clan's Emperor Son had slain a Heavenly King from the Heavenly Palace in the lower levels of the Emperor Path. Clearly, the one killed earlier had been the eighth Heavenly King. Now the seventh Heavenly King had come directly to intercept him on the Emperor Path, obviously seeking revenge for the Ye Clan's Emperor Son!

The Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Palace were ranked according to strength. The seventh Heavenly King was far more powerful than the eighth. This was not a version who had severed his own cultivation. This was a powerhouse who had been fighting on the Emperor Path for a long time and only submitted to the Heavenly Palace's Palace Master!

Was the Ye Clan's Emperor Son truly a match for the seventh Heavenly King of the Heavenly Palace?

The answer was beyond doubt.

They had only exchanged a few moves when the result left everyone dumbfounded. The aggressively charging Nether Soul Heavenly King was blasted apart by the Ye Clan's Emperor Son. He tried to escape using soul arts!

Too terrifying!

A streak of silver light pierced through the void, shooting straight toward Su Chen.

"It's the seventh Mountain Master of the Myriad Demons Mountain — the Crane Feather Mountain Master!"

It was an immortal crane whose speed had reached the extreme, as if transcending the concept of space itself. Its supreme killing art aimed directly at Su Chen's head.

"Overestimating yourself!"

The power of the Flying Immortal surged within Su Chen, transforming into a heavenly sword that directly slashed the immortal crane apart, dyeing the long sky with blood.

"He… killed the Crane Feather Mountain Master of the Myriad Demons Mountain!"

One move! In just one move! A powerful Heavenly King-level expert had been slain!

"Now the Ye Clan's Emperor Son has formed a deep grudge with the Myriad Demons Mountain. I'm afraid the master of the Myriad Demons Mountain will definitely ambush him on the Emperor Path."

Su Chen's killing intent had not yet subsided. The Nether Soul Heavenly King, who had fled far away, looked up and saw a terrifying immortal shadow appear before him. With the number one speed in the world, the Flying Immortal Dao Body brought only despair. The Nether Soul Heavenly King knew there was no escape. He erupted with all his soul power in a desperate final struggle, but Su Chen simply reached out with one hand, grabbed him, and crushed him.

"The Heavenly Palace… has now lost two Heavenly Kings at the hands of the Ye Clan's Emperor Son. I'm afraid the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace will not let this go easily."

Everyone felt a chill of horror. In a single day, two Heavenly King-level beings at the Great Saint realm had fallen. The Ye Clan's Emperor Son was terrifying beyond measure!
