Chapter 125: Wu Shi Achieves Emperorhood, Underworld Stirring!

Accompanied by the Holy Spirit's fall.

A potentially surging blood calamity was thus extinguished.

And from His appearance to His fall, all of this seemed long, yet occurred only within a few breaths, leaving the cultivators below almost unable to react.

People only felt a blur before their eyes, and in mid-air, this incomparably powerful Holy Spirit was blasted into the outer domain, then struck down, Order White Lotuses scattering in the air...

As for that Spirit Emperor's move from within the Divine Ruins Forbidden Zone, the world could even less perceive it.

Those able to perceive that Spirit Blade were only Wu Shi, the Forbidden Zone Supremes, and a mere few others.

In the starry sky.

Wu Shi's gaze was cold and sharp, turning his head to look toward the Divine Ruins direction.

Having reached his current height, he had long been able to sense and know many great secrets in the universe, especially regarding the Beidou Star's several Life Forbidden Zones.

Within the Life Forbidden Zones, truly crouching tigers and hidden dragons, all manner of existences exist.

Just that Spirit Blade flying out from the Divine Ruins Forbidden Zone possessed a Holy Spirit aura transformed from innate Essence Qi, similar to that Holy Spirit of Tianshu Holy Land.

And its power was even stronger, possessing Imperial Path pressure, obviously originating from a Holy Spirit Emperor, worthy of Wu Shi treating seriously.

Of course.

Now he has not yet truly proven the Dao and become Emperor, yet possesses such combat power, already enough to startle ten thousand ages.

And with the fall of the Tianshu Holy Spirit, that Spirit Blade also finally dissipated midway, transforming into light rain and returning to the Divine Ruins Forbidden Zone, also saving Wu Shi a possible round of clashing.

As for that cold snort full of unwillingness from the Spirit Emperor, Wu Shi naturally heard it too, yet did not take it to heart much.

Offending a certain Life Forbidden Zone, for ordinary cultivators or Dao lineages, would inevitably be a catastrophic disaster.

But for an existence like Wu Shi, it was instead trivial.

Since the Desolate Ancient Era, generation after generation of Great Emperors, where have there been fewer such matters?

And on the great earth.

All cultivators who survived the calamity, amidst their shock, also learned through their respective Dao lineages' Tribal Leaders who it was that saved them all.

Because among these Tribal Leaders were Great Saints or Saint King level powerhouses who had once seen Wu Shi in the past, recognizing his Qi mechanism.

In an instant.

People knelt down in patch after patch, all bowing in thanks for Wu Shi's life-saving grace!

Several decades later.

In the Universe Borderlands starry sky.

"Boom!"

With a thunderclap violent to the extreme, a Thunder Tribulation rarely seen in ten thousand ages began, causing the world to tremble.

This stretch of Universe Borderlands shattered, vast and mighty spreading into the Great Universe, countless star systems turning to dust, a supreme law spreading.

Great Emperor Tribulation!

"Boom!"

Infinite Divine Tribulation vast and mighty, Immortal Light covering sky and earth, awakening the many Ancient Venerables slumbering in the Forbidden Zones.

At this moment, Ten Thousand Daos lament, all manner of Order Divine Chains in the universe about to be suppressed, just now achieving one person's Great Dao, he will stand high above, looking down on Nine Heavens Ten Earths.

"Truly it is him!"

In the Reincarnation Sea Forbidden Zone, a Supreme murmured low, recognizing that existence currently undergoing tribulation.

"Is he about to succeed? As long as he can endure past it, ten thousand ages will again produce an extraordinary figure!"

In the Immortal Mausoleum Forbidden Zone, an ancient Supreme with sparse white hair covering his head sighed lightly.

He recalled his own glorious years, having once stood at the absolute peak, revered by ten thousand races, confident nothing was beyond his own ability, including becoming Immortal.

Yet ultimately still reduced to his current declined state.

At this moment, even separated by the massive Immortal Source, that indescribable sorrow and nostalgia permeated through his body!

Busianshan, Divine Ruins, and several other Forbidden Zones also emitted extremely powerful Divine Senses, probing this Border Wilderness Star Domain's Thunder Tribulation condition.

Among them several Supremes' gazes were incomparably gloomy, state of mind complex, unknown what they were thinking.

They felt that if this person proves the Dao and becomes Emperor, perhaps he will open a certain new era.

Or perhaps, will force the Life Forbidden Zones to face some unprecedented pressure, different from those Human Race Great Emperors of the past.

This is the strongest spiritual awareness of these several Supremes as former Provers of the Dao.

Because the tribulation-crossing person is indeed strong to an outrageous degree, already acknowledged by the several Life Forbidden Zones, believing this person's future achievements may not be lower than the former Holy Emperor Gu Xuan.

But even though wary, the various Forbidden Zone Supremes ultimately still did not act to interfere.

One, they had already probed before, with no effect.

Two, acting now is already too late, would only draw fire onto themselves, for that person's Dao-proving tribulation, its terrifying degree is simply rare since ancient times.

"Boom!"

Another thunderclap shaking the universe within.

Great Emperor Tribulation vast and mighty, spreading throughout the entire universe, extremely tyrannical and fierce, surging toward all places, this is forging the sole Imperial Path, wanting to suppress the Human Realm.

Dao Rules arranging, constantly changing, this life's strongest person's Law Dao will become the only one, suppressing all Dao lineages, mastering this piece of universe.

Thunder rumbling, Chaos Qi surging, blazing electric arcs dancing, each spanning several star systems, incomparably long and large, this is shocking.

"So this is the Great Emperor Tribulation? Too terrifying!"

The Kunpeng Quasi-Emperor, God Race Quasi-Emperor and others who once contended with Wu Shi in the past, across endless starry sky, saw all this, faces pale.

This absolutely can suppress and kill them!

However, the Thunder Tribulation is not only this!

Someone shockingly discovered, within the vast Thunder Tribulation, there actually appeared Undying Divine Medicine, and accompanied by various Immortal Spirits sinking and floating around it.

Among the Immortal Spirits transformed from the tribulation light — Azure Dragons, Vermilion Birds, Qilins, and the like — human faces formed from Undying Medicines appeared, their mouths spewing forth heaven-shaking killing intent.

Every single Undying Medicine emitted an aura of ancient vicissitudes spanning ten thousand ages, as if they had already existed for countless eras.

Even the Forbidden Zone Supremes felt a chill in their hearts; these could absolutely wound and kill them.

Later on.

Even more, human figures formed from Undying Divine Medicines walked out — there were women transcendent as immortals, men majestic like Gu An; every single one was terrifyingly peerless under heaven.

"This... bears some resemblance to that Holy Emperor of the past..."

Within the Forbidden Zone, a Supreme exclaimed in amazement, having clearly perceived the anomaly.

The other Ancient Venerables mostly remained silent as well.

It's not that they haven't crossed the Great Emperor Tribulation; they all walked through this step.

However, today's unique and miraculous Great Emperor Tribulation was somewhat rare.

Of course.

It's not to say that the appearance of Undying Divine Medicines in the Great Emperor Tribulation means the one proving the Dao is destined to be unmatched in power, but it is enough to show he is extraordinary, absolutely not to be underestimated!

As for the Forbidden Zone Supremes, it's not that they consider themselves inferior; since they haven't truly fought, none would believe themselves weaker than another!

Every single Forbidden Zone Supreme is like this; otherwise they wouldn't have reached this step.

The Great Emperor Tribulation continued.

Later, the Thunder Tribulation became even more severe — various immortal mountains and palace seas appeared together, Nine-Layer Immortal Arrays, Four Symbols Thunder Wings... all manner of Great Calamities, all hacking down together.

Amidst the boundless Heavenly Punishment, a white-clothed figure stood alone, bleeding into the starry sky, opposing to the utmost, warring against the Great Dao, seeking to fuse his supreme imprint with the universe, to become the sole one.

During this period, powerful as he was, he was also pulverized and shattered many times, incomparably miserable.

Even with an Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo, his whole body was covered in wounds, Treasure Blood gushing out recklessly, blood splattering the starry sky.

Because the stronger he was, the more violent the corresponding Heavenly Tribulation became; this is a Great Dao Rule, otherwise his Great Emperor Fruit Position would inevitably have defects.

And the Great Dao laws in that place were too surging and tumultuous; no one could see the situation inside anymore.

Everyone could only perceive that terrifyingly peerless fluctuation, sweeping across the Whole Great Universe.

Finally.

Unknown how much time passed, the Dao-Proving Tribulation came to an end.

In the boundless starry sky, Ten Thousand Dao Thunder Dragons descended from the Heavens, converging into a single incomparably majestic figure.

This was a young man of majestic bearing, standing naturally, black hair like a waterfall, truly looking up and down between Heaven and Earth, spirit swallowing mountains and rivers, his gaze capable of shattering space-time, peerless through ten thousand ages.

He had reached the Absolute Peak, truly invincible past and present; few could stand shoulder to shoulder with him!

Wushi Great Emperor!

This era has given birth to another Human Race Great Emperor who shakes the ancient and dazzles the present, destined to be recorded in the Mythological Annals.

This was like a tsunami, shaking the Whole Great Universe!

"As expected, it's him!" someone sighed with emotion, yet without much surprise, for they had once witnessed Wushi's utmost peerless bearing.

"A lifetime's Emperor Road, ultimately still decided a victor..." another said desolately; this was a Heaven's Pride who once contended with Wushi, yet now could only look up to him.

And while the world was still immersed in shock, a certain Life Forbidden Zone had already reacted far more, for they knew far more than the world.

Di Fu.

This is an extremely mysterious Forbidden Zone, born from death, seizing all Creation.

Different from the Seven Forbidden Zones of Life on Beidou Star, they are not on some Ancient Star, but naturally have their own Netherworld, which can also be called another space.

Here Death Qi pervades; the Ming Tu is a stretch of desolate silence. This place has been battered and ruined; one star after another has fallen, smashing out endless huge pits here.

The Ming Tu is vast and boundless, like another Universe; death is the Eternal theme, the black Land endless.

Countless Yin Spirits and Ancient Corpses — any single one brought out might be a mighty figure renowned in Ancient History, not to mention the countless terrifying corpses beneath the ground.

However, what makes it even more terrifying are the Ancient Supremes hibernating within, not the least bit weaker than the Reincarnation Sea, Divine Ruins, and other Forbidden Zones.

This is a powerful Forbidden Zone; in the past, even the Western Queen Mother, powerful as a generation's Great Emperor, could do nothing about this Forbidden Zone.

However.

This day, Di Fu erupted with a terrifying commotion.

"It's that woman's blood-related child who proved the Dao; these years we couldn't kill him..."

Within the Immortal Source, a Di Fu Supreme clad in Black Nether Iron Battle Armor emitted a demonic sound; his voice was dry and hoarse, hollow and resonant, his Qi mechanism peerlessly terrifying.

"This person is not simple; I see the shadow of the Emperor Venerable on him, nor is he weaker than the Holy Emperor of the past."

Another Supreme responded.

He had curly whiskers, a Divine Bow floating and sinking at his side.

Even while within the massive Immortal Source, he gave off a very strange feeling, as if he had experienced ten thousand ages so ancient, his time aura seemingly heavier than all beings in Di Fu.

"A pity, acting too late, letting him become an established force..."

A third Supreme emitted a sigh, his tone full of regret.

If they had discovered Wushi's emergence earlier, and acted to ambush kill him before he became a little dragon, there was indeed a possibility of success.

But Wushi's strength, his cultivation speed, before he proved the Dao and became Emperor, could already be called stunning through ten thousand ages.

In merely three to four hundred years, he achieved a Quasi-Emperor, breaking the Heaven's Pride records of ancient times.

By the time Di Fu's organization perceived it, it was already difficult to kill Wushi.

In fact.

In the gaps between the successive Quasi-Emperor Tribulations before Wushi proved the Dao and became Emperor, the Human Tribulations he encountered, almost half came from the Di Fu Supremes.

However.

Whether it was his created Deceiving Heaven Array Patterns, or that unfathomable Wushi Secret Technique, they all rendered their every killing strike ineffective.

Especially after Wu Shi truly reached the seventh heaven of the Quasi-Emperor, his combat power was even more astonishing.

In this situation, unless a certain Supreme of Di Fu manifested their true body and underwent extreme sublimation, there might be a chance of true success.

However.

Even the Di Fu organization had no Supreme so selfless as to be willing to sacrifice their own immortal opportunity to erase Wu Shi, this possible threat, and even then success was not guaranteed.

In their view, doing so was absolutely not worth it; at worst they would activate another plan.

And this other plan was naturally what the Supremes of Di Fu were currently discussing.

"This person is indeed somewhat extraordinary; fighting him is not worth it."

The Di Fu Supreme in black nether iron battle armor spoke, his voice cold and gloomy, without a trace of emotional fluctuation.

"My intention is the same; the opening of the immortal path is not far off; a moment's intolerance ruins the grand scheme."

The Supreme with curly whiskers also spoke; faint death qi permeated him, and his eyes held the scene of sun, moon, and stars' destruction, extremely ancient and powerful.

"Since it is so, then please bring out the Tongtian Immortal Treasure."

The Supremes of Di Fu reached a consensus.

……

In the Bian Huang Xing Kong.

Wu Shi, who had already successfully proven the Dao, stood in the void; the myriad daos wailed around him, chaos dao principles coiled about him, powerful to the extreme!

There were still some bloodstains on his body, left from when he previously crossed the Dao-proving tribulation.

However.

He paid no heed to these, but turned his head, looking toward a certain direction in the depths of the star sea — that was the direction of the Underworld Forbidden Zone.

Having reached his current height, he already knew many things in the universe, especially after fusing with the Heaven's Heart imprint, even more so.

Between heaven and earth, a light rain hazily appeared.

It was a heroic man, sword brows entering his temples, eyes deep as the sea; he was sturdy and towering, standing there making the sun, moon, and star river in the sky pale in comparison.

This was a great accomplished Holy Body, an existence capable of fighting a Forbidden Zone Supreme.

However, his state at this time was extremely poor; streaks of greenish-purple qi repeatedly manifested on his body surface, especially at his forehead bone, where golden hairs actually emerged one after another from his flesh, bizarre and awe-inspiring.

"I can't accompany you to grow old together; let me be freed, send me on my way."

He turned, and said to the peerless beauty beside him who likewise made the sun, moon, and star river lose their color, filled with endless reluctance.

The white-clothed beauty's face was full of sorrow; tears rolled down, incomparably grief-stricken; she forcefully clenched his thick, broad palm.

"Our child, if unable to become an immortal, can also reestablish the Heavenly Court, and preside over the rise and fall of heaven and earth!"

At that final moment, when this man mentioned the child, his face was written full of pride and confidence, radiant with splendor...

Then the light and shadow flashed, and switched to another scene.

That peerless beauty, alone against several terrifying Ancient Venerables, protected her husband's great accomplished Holy Body corpse.

Her white clothes fluttered, her face mournful; she struck a palm forward.

This was the Queen Mother of the West's all-out strike!

A huge copper plaque, inscribed with the two characters "Di Fu", guarded by imperial dao principles, yet was utterly useless, split into two halves.

A great destruction appeared in that star sea; countless yin soldiers and yin generals shattered, and imperial dao treasure blood splashed out.

The Supremes of Di Fu ultimately retreated, failing to seize the great accomplished Holy Body's corpse as they wished.

Afterwards, the light rain completely dissipated, never to be seen again.

Of course.

This was merely a reappearance of a past scene, manifested by heaven and earth because of Wu Shi's thoughts after he achieved the rank of a Great Emperor.

The next moment.

A magnificent golden light avenue manifested; Wu Shi took one step out, and directly arrived at the coordinates of the Di Fu organization he had deduced.

This was a terrifying extreme speed, achievable only by a Great Emperor.
