Chapter 171: Exposing Desolate Heavenly Emperor's Ascension—Were the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin Actually Created by Desolate Hea

【And this time, I succeeded!】

【I stepped upon the Heavenly Heart Imprint and the Ten Thousand Daos, forcibly overcoming the Great Emperor Tribulation, achieving a perfect and flawless Great Emperor】

【However, to lure out the Forbidden Zone Supremes, I chose to pretend to suffer grievous wounds, falling from the Heavenly Heart Imprint, feigning near death to provoke the Supremes into acting】

【And the result did not disappoint me—indeed a Supreme took the bait, and not just one but two Supremes at that】

【Heh, didn't expect that, did you? I was faking it!】

【Those two Supremes were furious—one cursed me as a cunning, jackal-hearted villain, while the other cursed me as black-hearted, saying that even crossing a tribulation I had to scheme against them like this】

【But I didn't care at all, because if I weren't wounded, how would they dare come to kill me? I once said that within my lifetime I would pacify the Forbidden Zones, and naturally I must keep my word】

【Of course, although the near-death state was faked, the grievous wounds were real—just not enough to affect my combat power. Dealing with two Supremes, why would I need my full strength? The current me can handle it with ease】

【As expected...】

【I easily slew two Sublimation Supremes, and following their traces I tracked down Burial Heaven Island—this is Heaven's stronghold, and there were still two more Supremes inside~】

【But just as I said before, two Supremes only—I swept away Heaven with the greatest ease. Thus another Forbidden Zone was annihilated by me, and the name of Heavenly Emperor reached unprecedented glory, and along with it the Heavenly Court became the sole transcendent faction in the world】!

【However, I did not grow overly proud because of this, for I knew there were still many powerful beings in the world...】

【For instance, the Ruthless Great Emperor!】

【Time flowed on, several thousand years later...】

【My strength grew increasingly terrifying, the wounds of the Dao fully healed, truly reaching a state of invincibility throughout the world, yet I felt no joy because of it】

【Because those around me were all aging ceaselessly, even those of my own generation. I had no choice but to seal them all away. Of course, it wasn't all bad news—the temples I had previously established gathered the power of faith】

【Combined with the remnant Primordial Spirits and corpses preserved by the Divine King and Ji Zi, I finally managed to resurrect them】

【The only pity is...】

【Senior Gai Jiuyou could not be resurrected; he left behind not a single imprint, and even I, powerful as I am, cannot bring him back】

"What a Heavenly Emperor Ye!"

"When there's no road ahead, he carves out his own path to continue—it's no wonder he can lead his entire sect to ascend to the Immortal Domain in the future!"

"Tsk, those people must be fools, right? They really don't think Ye Hei was received by the Empress because of Ye Hei's strength? If not for the possibility that Ye Hei might be the Empress's brother, even someone as strong as Ye Hei would have been slapped to death by the Empress upon entering. These people are simply courting death!"

"Tsk, they actually dare force their way in—serves them right, getting slapped to death on the spot. How on earth did that person cultivate to the Ninth Layer of Quasi-Emperor? Not a shred of brains!"

"Hiss, this kid Ye Hei is getting more and more badass—he can already go against the Dao to achieve a perfect Great Emperor. Truly worthy of the Heavenly Emperor standing in a class of his own; possessing such mighty power with merely a Sacred Body is truly heaven-defying!"

"Tsk, Ye Hei's existence undoubtedly proves that those prodigies of the past who couldn't become Emperors simply weren't strong enough. If they were truly as powerful as Ye Hei, they too could go against the Dao to become perfect Great Emperors, without fearing the suppression of Heaven and Earth!"

"Alas, throughout all history there's only been this one Ye Hei—if everyone were as heaven-defying as Ye Hei, what then? The Immortal Domain would probably be packed full!"

"Holy crap, isn't this kid Ye Hei being far too overconfident? Not only does he want to go against the Dao to become Emperor himself, he wants to bring the entire Heavenly Court along? Is he serious?"

"Indeed overconfident. Just as Ye Hei himself said, he overestimated himself and underestimated the Ten Thousand Daos—even as strong as he is, he cannot shatter the Ten Thousand Daos of the universe!"

"The current Ye Hei indeed can't do it, but once he achieves Heavenly Emperor, he definitely will be able to!"

"Hiss, stepping upon the Ten Thousand Daos and the imprint of Great Emperor Jin Wu to become Emperor—what a magnificent scene. But one has to mention, this Great Emperor Jin Wu is truly a bit pitiful, his Heavenly Heart Imprint simply trampled underfoot by Ye Hei!"

"Damn, how is Ye Hei still so scheming even after becoming Heavenly Emperor? Even crossing a tribulation he has to trap and kill Supremes—can't hold it together!"

"Tsk tsk, Ye Hei is truly wicked, but I like it. Should've trapped these Supremes to death, let them run amok. Besides, I am Ye Hei—I shall trap and kill every enemy in this world!"
