Chapter 203: Emperor's Fate (Part 19)

The Heavenly Palace and the Myriad Demons Mountain—two supreme forces—had each lost two Heavenly King-level powerhouses at the hands of the Ye Clan's Emperor Son.

This action enraged both superpowers. The Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace and the Master of the Myriad Demons Mountain, two supreme experts, publicly declared that they would wait for the Ye Clan's Emperor Son at the end of the Emperor Path. If he dared to come, they would definitely slay him!

Su Chen comprehended his gains, and his cultivation advanced rapidly.

"Master is becoming more and more terrifying!"

The Black Dragon Crown Prince sat beside Su Chen, his face bitter. His own cultivation speed was already something he could never have imagined in the past, yet now he still felt the gap between himself and Su Chen widening without limit.

Ji Changkong and the Jade Pool Sacred Maiden were cultivating diligently, hoping to keep up with Su Chen's pace.

The eightieth pass did not hinder Su Chen for long. He continued advancing deeper into the Emperor Path. The further he went, the easier cultivation became. Countless Daos were entrenched in the depths of the Emperor Path, rising and falling like countless stars.

Those were the auras emitted by the beings who stood at the end of the ancient path. They occupied the opportunities at the end of the Emperor Path and distributed the fortunes.

Another thousand years passed.

Su Chen arrived at the one hundredth pass. At this moment, he was infinitely close to the end of the Emperor Path.

The name of the Myriad Laws Hall resounded throughout the entire Emperor Path. In just two thousand years, he had nearly reached the end of the Emperor Path, surpassing countless prodigies and monsters and the accumulations of one great era after another.

"Can the Ye Clan's Emperor Son stand shoulder to shoulder with the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace and the Master of the Myriad Demons Mountain?"

Many powerful experts trembled. They saw that the Ye Clan's Emperor Son had not stopped at the one hundredth pass. He was advancing toward the legendary ultimate land!

Throughout history, they had accumulated over lifetime after lifetime to reach this step. Yet… the road ahead filled them with despair. Even with their peerless talent, they could not advance a single step further.

The Black Dragon Crown Prince remained at the one hundredth pass.

"Is this my limit…"

He watched the three figures moving into the distance. He planned to wait at the one hundredth pass for the members of the Myriad Laws Hall… or perhaps for that majestic figure to reign supreme over the starry skies!

The road ahead grew increasingly terrifying. Unable to resist the suppression of the Great Dao, remaining there to cultivate would gradually cause one to lose oneself, or even die directly.

This was not Su Chen's first time on the Emperor Path. In his previous life, before the Emperor Path had even opened, he had hidden here and hunted prodigies from one era after another.

As the mastermind behind the scenes, legends about him still lingered here. He arrived at the one hundred and third pass.

The Jade Pool Sacred Maiden bowed gracefully to Su Chen. "Young Master, Chi Yao may no longer be able to accompany you further."

Su Chen was not surprised. He simply nodded. "You have already done very well."

The incarnation of a single fruit from the immortal tree had achieved such talent, which already exceeded Su Chen's expectations. Many supreme geniuses could not even step foot into the one hundred and third pass.

The Jade Pool Sacred Maiden smiled faintly at Su Chen and said, "How about… Young Master still eats Chi Yao?"

Colorful light bloomed from the Jade Pool Sacred Maiden's body, drawing Su Chen in. The holy radiance was now filled with seduction.

Su Chen refused.

The Jade Pool Sacred Maiden looked at him with deep resentment as she watched the two departing figures.

There was one thing she had not said aloud. This "eating" was not that kind of eating. After parting today, who knew when they would meet again.

Su Chen continued toward the deeper parts of the Emperor Path. At this moment, he had only one goal. That was… to attain the Dao!

Ji Changkong successfully broke through to the Great Saint realm. His combat strength was unmatched and could rival taboo existences!

Su Chen felt gratified. One day in the future, Ji Changkong might recover his past memories, or the Holy Spirit might return. However… Su Chen was more inclined to believe that a new consciousness would emerge from the fusion of both within Ji Changkong's current body.

Su Chen arrived at the one hundred and fifth pass.

The Heavenly Palace and the Myriad Demons Mountain sent peerless experts to block him, but Su Chen did not even need to act. The transformed Ji Changkong alone slaughtered the attackers.

The power of an innate Holy Spirit was fully displayed. One hundred and fifth… one hundred and sixth… one hundred and seventh! It was not until the one hundred and seventh pass that Su Chen encountered another great enemy.

"Ye Clan Emperor Son, I never thought even the Soul Extinguishing Curse couldn't kill you!"

The Grand Priest of the Heavenly Palace, second only to the Palace Master Di Shitian in terror, appeared with the first Heavenly King of the Heavenly Palace to block Su Chen's path.

At the same time, the second Mountain Master of the Myriad Demons Mountain—second only to the Qilin True Lord of the mountain—also stood in his way.

A true phoenix burned the nine heavens, its aura world-shaking!

"The human race should not produce another Emperor!"

Another terrifying aura appeared.

"It's that one from the Demon Palace. He's still alive!"

A Demon King holding a trident descended, demonic flames raging to the skies. He came from the Demon God Palace and was the supreme prodigy among all demons!

Three super forces had joined hands to encircle and kill Su Chen!

Ji Changkong's expression turned grave. These people had walked extremely far on the Great Saint path. He was not afraid of fighting any one of them alone… but there were simply too many powerhouses here.

Su Chen's black robes fluttered, his bearing deep and unfathomable. He had not taken action for a very long time. No one knew his true strength—not even Ji Changkong.

"Very well. Since you are seeking death, this seat shall fulfill your wish."

Su Chen's tone was calm, as if he were merely clearing some roadblocks. "The Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace, the Master of the Myriad Demons Mountain, and now the Master of the Demon God Palace as well. I will kill them all and send them down to meet you."

A great battle erupted. Su Chen ordered Ji Changkong to guard the perimeter and watch the fight.

"Great Saint peak… how is that possible?"

The Grand Priest of the Heavenly Palace was horrified.

Su Chen's cultivation had actually reached the peak of the Great Saint realm, only one step away from Quasi-Emperor!

The Flying Immortal Dao Body manifested astonishing phenomena, as if a true immortal had descended. In Su Chen's hands, killing techniques emerged one after another. He directly blasted apart a terrifying figure. The remnant body of the first Heavenly King of the Heavenly Palace fell onto an unnamed ancient star, his divine soul completely erased with no possibility of revival!

"Not good…"

Everyone sensed that something was wrong.

In just one exchange, he had blasted apart an enemy of the same level. Such combat strength was too shocking!

Su Chen's eyes opened and closed. Thousands of Dao patterns flowed within them. The Myriad Laws Heavenly Eyes granted him the ability to see through others' weaknesses. The Flying Immortal Dao Body provided unmatched speed. In this life, he also possessed the Ye Clan's Emperor arts and the Flying Immortal Emperor arts, making his killing power unparalleled. In a single instant, before the prodigy from the Demon God Palace could even retreat, he was directly slain by Su Chen!

Showing a flaw meant death. Not showing a flaw… also meant death!

"You monster… You will make enemies of the entire world!"

The Grand Priest of the Heavenly Palace fell into despair as he watched that figure approach. Although the movement seemed slow, his body could not move at all.

The Flying Immortal Divine Sword easily beheaded the Grand Priest of the Heavenly Palace.

Su Chen did not care why they wanted to kill him. Anyone who stood in the way of his Emperor Path had to die!

Chapter 204: Emperor's Fate (Part 20)

Watching his teammates fall one after another, the true phoenix from the Myriad Demons Mountain was now nearly scared out of its wits.

Instant kill!

It wanted to beg for mercy. But no sound would come out, no matter how hard it tried.

Su Chen showed no mercy and directly slew it!

"Hmm?"

Su Chen's Myriad Laws Heavenly Eyes flickered. Although he had killed the true phoenix from the Myriad Demons Mountain, its aura had not disappeared.

"Interesting method!"

Su Chen squatted in front of the true phoenix's corpse. Nirvana flames burned as it attempted to live out a second life even after death!

"It is rumored that the true phoenix race carries the secret of nirvana in their bloodline. Even after death, they have a chance to successfully nirvana and be reborn in a second life!"

The true phoenix's nirvana was extremely well-hidden. Even if the corpse vanished from the world, it could still succeed. If not for his sensitive divine soul and the Myriad Laws Heavenly Eyes, he might not have noticed it.

Su Chen guarded the true phoenix's corpse for a full hundred years, comprehending the profound mysteries of its rebirth. During those hundred years, he vaguely grasped some of its secrets and named it the Nirvana Classic. Perhaps it could give him a chance to live out a new life!

"Why are you still here?"

The true phoenix successfully nirvanaed, but its body stiffened. It saw a familiar face. He had not gone to the final pass!

"No… I hate this!"

The true phoenix died again. The moment it was reborn through nirvana, Su Chen slashed it apart with a single sword strike.

This scene chilled the hearts of many forces. A figure like the Ye Clan's Emperor Son was truly too terrifying. Even the true phoenix's nirvana could not escape his pursuit. He had guarded the corpse for a hundred years just to eliminate every last trace!

After dealing with the true phoenix, Su Chen chose to continue toward the final pass… There, the most terrifying great enemies were still waiting for him. Once he arrived, a great battle would surely erupt.

Su Chen did not let Ji Changkong accompany him to the final layer. His strength was still insufficient to interfere in that battle.

Upon entering the final pass, Su Chen felt the world suddenly open up. Immortal light surged within his body, and the Quasi-Emperor restrictions began to loosen. Throughout the ages, almost all Great Emperors had been born among the beings here! He would undergo the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation right here!

The area appeared devoid of any living beings. But Su Chen could sense terrifying gazes staring at him. Some watched with interest, waiting to see a show. Some radiated intense killing intent, ready to strike the moment he passed the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation. Others showed appreciation and expectation, as if watching a fellow Daoist about to rise.

The Quasi-Emperor Tribulation naturally could not trouble Su Chen. In merely ten years, he completed the leap from the peak of the Great Saint realm to Quasi-Emperor, becoming one of the most powerful beings under this starry sky. At this moment, he was still less than three thousand years old…

After passing the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation, Su Chen's expression turned grave. Passing the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation was only the beginning. There was still another tribulation waiting ahead!

At the ancient end of the path, a figure manifested. It was like a supreme God Emperor seated high above the Ninth Heaven, with heaven and earth chanting his name.

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace — Di Shitian!

Endless chains of Dao principles formed a road.

Di Shitian looked at Su Chen and said, "I said that if you could step into the final pass, I would personally slay you!"

Auspicious signs descended from the heavens as the Qilin True Lord of the Myriad Demons Mountain stepped forward, his aura surging as he confronted Di Shitian. "This… is my prey!"

Di Shitian opened the third divine eye between his brows. It was as if the Heavenly Dao itself had descended, filled with killing intent. The Qilin True Lord did not yield. He manifested his true Qilin form, demonic Qi flooding the skies.

Both were existences at the taboo level.

A dark red long blade slashed out. Endless demonic Qi surged, forming a terrifying figure.

"The human race is not allowed to produce another Emperor!"

The Master of the Demon God Palace had arrived.

Three taboo existences were actually going to attack the same person. Such a scene had not been seen for countless years.

"Humans are not allowed to produce another Emperor? How ridiculous!"

The laws trembled as a graceful figure slowly walked out from the other end. Great Daos spread beneath her feet, carrying an aura of both destruction and rebirth.

"It's you? Nangong Yunshu?"

"How is it possible for you to appear on the Emperor Path again… You have lived out a second life!"

The three taboo existences were all shocked. Even the many taboo-level prodigies who had been preparing to watch the great battle unfold were astonished.

Nangong Yunshu showed no signs of aging, and her aura was terrifying. She had indeed walked the path of a second life at the brink of death and returned to the Emperor Path!

A faint ripple appeared in Su Chen's eyes.

Nangong Yunshu chose to stand on Su Chen's side.

"Even if you are still alive, it won't change the outcome. In the end, there are only two of you!"

The killing intent of the Demon Palace's Demon Lord did not diminish in the slightest. The human race had already produced four Emperors in succession, plus a second-life Great Emperor. If a fifth Emperor appeared, how could the myriad races have any path forward?

"No, there are three of us."

From the depths of the Emperor Path, a golden light transformed into a heaven-reaching great road. A figure dressed in golden robes, radiating supreme majesty, walked out. His bearing was imposing and domineering. He looked at the three foreign existences and said indifferently, "If it were a one-on-one fight, I would not interfere in this battle. But if you bully the human race for having no one on the Emperor Path, I will personally twist off your head."

The human race now had three powerhouses who had stepped into the taboo level!

A full six terrifying auras surged and clashed here.

"Wang Yunfei!"

A voice filled with hatred came from the depths, causing Wang Yunfei to raise an eyebrow. He said calmly, "You hate me and resent me, but you are nothing but a defeated opponent. With your level, you still dare to compete for the Emperor position? If you come out, I will slay you as well!"

He had defeated too many beings. He had even hunted taboo existences before. He did not care about any of those he had defeated. He would sweep through all enemies and attain the Dao in this life!

"Three against three. Now we don't have to worry about opponents."

The Demon Lord of the Demon God Palace smiled, easing the tension between Di Shitian and the Qilin True Lord. Three evenly matched opponents ignited their battle intent. None of them wanted to see the human race produce another Great Emperor.

"Then let's choose our opponents!"

Di Shitian's third eye stared fixedly at Su Chen. Their auras collided, causing chaos to surge. Two unparalleled Qis clashed fiercely.

The Qilin True Lord did not hesitate either and charged straight toward Nangong Yunshu!

"Interesting. You actually left the most troublesome one for me… Qilin, you bastard."

The Demon Lord of the Demon God Palace revealed a bloodthirsty smile as he looked at Wang Yunfei's figure. There was no fear, only indescribable excitement!

The demonic blade pierced through endless worlds and space, slashing directly toward Wang Yunfei!

Six taboo existences waged a fierce battle against one another. Their auras even spread beyond the Emperor Path, shaking the entire universe!

It was too terrifying. Every single one of them had the hope of becoming Emperor, yet they were now engaged in a life-and-death battle, evenly matched.

On the distant other shore, a withered figure watched everything with cold indifference.
