Chapter 55

Because...

This was not Gai Jiuyou's limit!

"A true Great Emperor?"

"Very well. Today I shall make up for the regrets of the past — on the road to becoming Emperor, I shall slay the Supreme. Today I will kill an Emperor to prove my Dao!"

In the image, even facing the Lord of the Divine Ruins who had pushed his sublimation to the utmost and returned to his Peak Era, Gai Jiuyou still showed not the slightest fear; on the contrary, he laughed heartily as he charged forward to meet him.

The Lord of the Divine Ruins pushed his sublimation to the utmost...

Though he could not push his sublimation to the utmost, he could prove his Dao. Today he would slay an Emperor and prove his Dao to claim the throne of Great Emperor!

Boom!

The great Dao of Heaven and Earth roared!

The boundless starry sky trembled unceasingly...

Sky-filling Lei Jie clouds drowned the sky above the two!

And as the sky-filling Lei Jie descended, the laws of the Emperor's Dao manifested upon Gai Jiuyou's body, and immediately an aura at the level of a flawless Great Emperor surged forth without cease.

Without a doubt...

Gai Jiuyou had proven his Dao and become Emperor!

Though it lasted only an instant, though he did not merge with the Heavenly Heart Imprint, did not let the cosmos acknowledge his Emperor's throne.

Yet he undoubtedly did it. With a withered body he ascended to the Emperor's throne; even facing the Lord of the Divine Ruins at his peak, he was still unafraid, daring to fight him, even to grind him down!

"How could this be?"

At this moment, not only were the spectators of Merely the Myriad Worlds stunned, even the Lord of the Divine Ruins revealed a look of horror: "You actually proved your Dao at a moment like this?!"

Boom!

What answered the Lord of the Divine Ruins was only Gai Jiuyou's Emperor Fist, and in addition the eruption of the immeasurable Nine-Colored Immortal Flame!

This great battle did not last too long, but it was undoubtedly a true battle of Emperors. The two sides fought to an inextricable deadlock, until at last the cosmos returned to silence.

Only a single cluster of immortal flame burned...

Destroying the Dao marks of all heavens, burying everything.

Whether the Lord of the Divine Ruins or Gai Jiuyou, both vanished beneath the burning of the Nine-Colored Immortal Flame, never to appear again, leaving behind only endless legends in the world!

And at this moment, the barrage exploded:

"Oh heavens, what did I just see? Facing a true Great Emperor, Gai Jiuyou was actually unafraid and instead delighted?"

"Hiss, what is he going to do? Is he trying to prove his Dao? He wants to slay the Supreme on the road to becoming Emperor, to kill an Emperor to prove his Dao — can Gai Jiuyou truly succeed in proving his Dao?"

"Holy crap, he did it, Gai Jiuyou did it! I can feel a familiar aura — this is the law of the Emperor's Dao!"

"My heavens, a true Great Emperor has been born! Gai Jiuyou has proven his Dao and become Emperor! He is a true Great Emperor, not an Uncrowned Emperor — he is the Nine Nether Great Emperor!"

"Haha, even the Lord of the Divine Ruins was dumbfounded. Weren't you looking down on Senior Nine Nether earlier? Did you really think that just because you recovered to your Peak Era, you could do nothing to him?"

"Kill! Today we shall slay an Emperor! Senior Nine Nether, may your journey be smooth; we shall all see you off. That the human race possesses a peerless hero like you is the great fortune of our human race!"

"He did it! Gai Jiuyou did it! He slew the Lord of the Divine Ruins — he slew a Great Emperor!"

"I believe all the world will remember Senior Nine Nether's magnificent achievements. Even if the immortal flame burned away some of his traces, his legend will be passed down for Wan Shi!"

"......"

PS: Don't fuss over whether Gai Jiuyou truly became Emperor. The book leaves boundless room for imagination. I believe Gai Jiuyou became Emperor — he is worthy of the name Nine Nether Great Emperor!
