Chapter 32: Even Great Emperors Have Sorrow!

~9 min read 1,794 words

The Void Great Emperor was unwilling to give up.

Disregarding the injuries from his tribulation of becoming an Emperor and the great battle, he struck up to the Ninth Heaven and probed down to the Nine Serenities.

Only to search for a trace of Gu Xuan.

Because he worried that if he missed this moment, it might be even harder to find him again.

Finally, on a certain desolate planet, he discovered a small piece of Dao Bone, which carried Gu Xuan's aura.

He carefully put it away.

Surveying the star sea, there were no more relics of the Holy Body Senior.

Or rather, the starry sky full of stars all held his relics.

That was because after his self-detonation, his body turned into blood mist, dust returning to dust, soil returning to soil, merging into all things of the universe.

At this moment.

Even with the Void Great Emperor's deep and solemn majesty, he could not help but feel desolate.

Afterward, he took one step out and disappeared into the depths of the star sea.

This time, he used Chaos to conceal his own Qi mechanism.

No one could sense his existence anymore, including the Forbidden Zone Supremes.

Only that stable Heaven's Heart mark reminded everyone of the Current Era Great Emperor's existence.

The Void Great Emperor directly plunged into the endless Chaos Sea, breathing and healing his injuries within it, consolidating his realm.

Besides that, he also spent time refining the Void Emperor Mirror.

In the final tribulation of proving the Dao, the Emperor Mirror shattered many times and reassembled, ultimately transforming into a true Imperial Weapon, though it still had a few small cracks.

On the Frontier Battlefield where he killed the Ice Emperor, he collected several fragments of Eternal Blue Gold.

Those were the remains of the Ice Emperor's Imperial Weapon.

That day, Gu Xuan's self-detonation directly shattered this Imperial Weapon, reputed to be immortal through ten thousand tribulations, into several pieces.

And the Ice Emperor had no time to repair it before he was killed in rage by the Void Great Emperor.

The Void Great Emperor dissolved the deity within the fragments and fused the Eternal Blue Gold into his own Void Mirror, elevating it a step further from then on.

Since ancient times there has been a legend that gathering the nine great Immortal Golds and fusing them into one might allow the refining of an Immortal Artifact.

However, Immortal Gold is something that can be chanced upon but not sought.

A Great Emperor might spend his whole life unable to find a suitable piece, let alone gather all nine kinds.

Some say the Emperor Lords of the Mythological Era achieved it, but it has not been confirmed.

Some also say the Undying Heavenly Emperor has been doing this all along; perhaps he succeeded, but that too is only legend.

No one expected that the Void Great Emperor spent a whole month making himself and the Emperor Mirror reach their ultimate brilliance, attaining the peak of his life.

Another ten days passed, he opened his eyes and stood up from the Chaos Sea where he sat cross-legged.

A divine mirror floated above his head, crystalline and ancient, Extreme Dao Imperial Might permeating the air.

The Void Great Emperor's gaze was cold; he strode through the universe, no longer concealing his tracks, no longer covering his aura.

The flawless, complete aura of the newly born Great Emperor covered the sky and blanketed the earth, pressing down on all within the universe.

"Void... he has stabilized, completely perfected!" In the Eastern Desolation Ji Family, a Clan Elder wept with joy, hot tears filling his eyes, which then triggered a huge cheer.

Clansmen both wept and laughed, as if only this way could they vent the worry and anticipation of these years.

A peerless, stunning woman had tears brimming in her eyes, her face streaked with tears of lingering fear and joy.

She was already at the Saint King Realm, yet now she leaned against the doorframe like a mortal wife, her body trembling uncontrollably.

She was the Void Great Emperor's wife, and also a Human Race Heaven's Pride.

Back then she had accompanied the Void Great Emperor, together experiencing life-and-death tribulations, and later became husband and wife.

As a cultivator, she deeply knew the peril and endless killing intent on this path.

Over these years, how many Human Race Heaven's Prides had been tragically strangled and plotted against.

Even Ji Xu Kong had escaped death who knows how many times.

Even more so, what they had to face were the world's most powerful, unimaginable peerless formidable enemies.

Now.

Her beloved had finally achieved perfection in the Emperor's Dao; it could be said he feared the Life Forbidden Zones no longer.

"Our Human Race finally has another Great Emperor!"

Across the universe, Human Race cultivators shouted excitedly, almost boiling over; this was the clan's supreme glory.

Already there were inherited Dao lineages preparing to cross the starry sky, wishing to come to the Beidou Ancient Star to pay homage to the Void Great Emperor.

However.

There were also some veteran high-level cultivators who, amidst their joy, had extremely solemn expressions.

They understood the universe's general trend more profoundly.

Since the Desolate Ancient Era, the Nine Great Holy Bodies battled the Heavens!

Without even thinking, one knows the Supremes in the Forbidden Zones can barely hold on any longer, and not just one.

There might be five or six, or even more!

The Ninth Generation Dacheng Holy Body who just perished had already dragged these Supremes to their limit.

Will they endure any longer?

You must know, they are all existences of the same level as the Void Great Emperor.

Any one of them, once they undergo Extreme Sublimation, fighting the Void Great Emperor would be a life-and-death uncertainty.

And now, the Dacheng Holy Body has already fallen.

All pressure has come to rest on the Void Great Emperor!

With his strength alone, can he stop so many Supremes?

Once they appear, it will trigger the largest and most terrifying Dark Turmoil in history!

It is truly because this era is too cruel and dark, there are too many powerful enemies!

Even if a Human Race Great Emperor proves the Dao, it may not necessarily be able to break this darkness.

Could it be that the Void Great Emperor is to become the first Human Race Great Emperor to fall in history?

Thinking of this, these seasoned high-level cultivators shuddered with cold, a trace of despair flashing in their eyes!

……

Across the Universe, many people sighed with emotion; back then they had also competed with Ji Xu Kong, contending for a lifetime.

Yet only a few hundred years have passed, and the gap between them has already grown unimaginably vast.

What concept is a single Great Emperor? The Heavenly Venerates and Primordial Emperors of ancient times were merely like this.

This night, many people could not sleep, especially those who had once clashed with the Void Great Emperor and likewise aspired to the Emperor Road.

Among them were Great Saint Peak experts and Quasi-Emperors, yet they all gazed at the starry sky, silent and speechless.

Of course, there were also a few who took it lightly.

The two words "Great Emperor", how heavy they are, especially in this current era!

The pressure he bears on his shoulders is perhaps unprecedentedly heavy since ancient times.

With one person's strength, to deal with the movements of the Seven Forbidden Zones of Life, and perhaps even more!

Just thinking about it makes one despair.

If it were them, they might not be able to endure it.

Regardless, everyone is very excited; they may soon be able to see the Void Great Emperor.

He will inevitably return to the Eastern Desolation Ji Family, and perhaps go to the Life Forbidden Zone for a trip, descending in a domineering fashion to demand an explanation.

Thinking of this, some young cultivators even boiled with hot blood.

What kind of place is the Life Forbidden Zone? It is incomparably mysterious, harboring great terror.

To penetrate deep into the Life Forbidden Zone and settle accounts with the Ancient Supremes — how many have been able to do this since time immemorial?

Even a Great Accomplishment Holy Body might not be able to achieve this, only because its strength still falls short; it can only guard.

Only a Great Emperor can!

Until today, they only truly realized how terrifying a single Great Emperor is — pushing across the Cosmos invincible; whatever mystery, whatever terror, all shattered by a single force.

However, things were not as people imagined.

After the Void Great Emperor stabilized his realm, he did not return to the Eastern Desolation ancestral land, nor did he go to the Life Forbidden Zone.

Stars twinkled, the Emperor Rule fluctuations that awed the Cosmos permeated the air.

A Golden Light Avenue traversed the Endless Star Domain; he arrived at the Holy Cliff of the Beidou Ancient Star.

A familiar place, a familiar aura.

Before proving the Dao, he had come here many times; each time he benefited immensely.

Now, the person is gone, leaving only a sad song in vain.

The Void Great Emperor carefully took out that small section of Dao Bone and buried it on the Holy Cliff.

He also placed inside the few Ancient Scriptures Gu Xuan liked to flip through on ordinary days, counting it as a cenotaph.

The moment the coffin was lowered.

A wave of desolation and domineering aura instantly swept across the Eight Wastes of the Universe!

This is the Void Great Emperor seeing off his Dao protector, his close friend.

Afterward, on a nearby mountain peak, he set up his own Dao Chang, as if to accompany this senior who was like both teacher and friend.

You departed into the star sea, mud and melted bones; I entrust to the Human Realm, snow filling my head.

The Void Great Emperor sat alone on the Dao Platform.

The indescribable back view carried a kind of sorrow, sorrowing for the Great Accomplishment Holy Body.
