Chapter 467: Emperor Form

He sank his thoughts into his body, first guiding the Creation Saint Method Origin that had already begun to merge with his own Saintly Battle Qi.

This Origin was like a chaotic seed containing endless vitality and the mysteries of evolution; at this moment, under Ye Wuque's conscious urging and command, it began to accelerate its fusion and resonance with his entire Dao Foundation.

At the same time, his perception and control of the Creation Force deepened in tandem.

This power, vastly different from Chaos, Space‑Time, or Reincarnation, focused more on creation, evolution, and granting form.

Ye Wuque combined his own studies, especially the insights from the Yin‑Yang Supreme Arrow and the Reincarnation Heavenly Silence Light divine skills, and continued to forge a killing move born of the evolved Creation Force… the Creation Heavenly Emperor Slash!

The seclusion passed without the sense of years.

Outside Sixing Star, the sun, moon, and stars continued their cycles; within the Ye Clan Territory various events unfolded, the Border Wasteland's war flames grew fiercer, yet all this clamor was kept out by the heavy stone doors and layered formations of the Secluded Dongfu.

Inside the cave, Ye Wuque was constantly shrouded in a hazy chaotic‑colored aura; at times the Yin‑Yang Dual Qi rotated, at times the Light of Reincarnation flickered, and now a newly surging Creation aura, brimming with vigorous vitality as if it could enlighten all things and evolve the myriad world, emerged.

His aura, within the seclusion, rose steadily, becoming ever more dense and heavy, like divine metal undergoing its final forging, shedding impurities and being tempered into steel.

For him, who had reached the Great Perfection of the Stepping Heaven Realm, the mere increase of Primordial Force was no longer the focus; the focus lay in the ultimate refinement of his existing power, the profound insight into the Great Way, further development of his flesh, and the integration of various divine skills and holy arts.

Time, in this deep seclusion, slipped away silently.

One year… two years…

Until a tranquil moment in the third year.

Boom—!!!

Without any warning, a terrifying surge of blood‑like energy erupted, like a primordial giant god suddenly awakening from slumber, bursting forth from the seclusion cave deep within Sixing Peak!

This blood‑energy was no longer simple gold; it shone with a noble purple‑gold hue, scorching like a stellar core and heavy as an ancient star's nucleus.

It shot skyward, instantly tearing through the cave and Sixing Peak's barrier, transforming into a purple‑gold blood light pillar dozens of billions of zhang wide, piercing straight into the depths of the star universe!

Within the pillar, countless fine Imperial Dao runes swirled and collided, emitting a thunderous roar like massive bells.

The entire Sixing Star trembled violently at that moment!

Mountains shook, rivers reversed, and if the stars themselves had not been forged with countless divine materials and secured by a great formation, they would have disintegrated long ago!

All beings on the stars, whether the weak‑intelligence exotic divine beasts or the maidservants tending the stars, felt a soul‑shudder at that instant—a fear born of life's instinct, seized by the pressure of a higher‑level life force.

Countless divine beasts crawled on the ground, trembling and wailing; the servants turned pallid, nearly collapsing to their knees, their faces filled with terror as they stared at the source of the terrifying blood‑light pillar.

And this was only the beginning!

The purple‑gold blood pillar, after reaching a certain extreme, suddenly contracted inward, and immediately a colossal figure of indescribable grandeur and dominance began to slowly coalesce and manifest above Sixing Star!

It was a flesh‑bodied Great Emperor Dharma Image towering ninety million kilometers high!

Unlike the previously majestic yet somewhat illusory imperial shadow of the Supreme Emperor Descends Dust form, this Dharma Image was solid beyond compare, vivid as living flesh!

It wore a purple‑gold imperial robe, a crown of the heavens, its face blurred yet exuding a timeless authority, its muscular lines like continuous mountain ranges, containing explosive power.

Every inch of the Dharma Image's skin seemed forged from the purest purple‑gold divine iron, radiating an immortal sheen.

Each breath stirred the Heavenly Star Force in tidal surges.

Those closed eyes, if ever opened, could pierce through all heavens and realms, rendering the Star River colorless!

Truly real!

Flesh and blood!

Fatiandi Xiangdi!

Imperial Majesty is vast!

This… is Ye Wuque's Undying Immortal Imperial Golden Body, which at the Eighth Turn of the Supreme Emperor Descends Dust realm finally achieved a perfect transformation and complete fulfillment from the imperial form to the ultimate Emperor Form!

The flesh‑bodied Great Emperor Dharma Image in Emperor Form, in strength, power, and alignment with the Great Way of Heaven and Earth, is more than ten times stronger than the imperial form?

This is a milestone leap of the flesh path, meaning Ye Wuque's flesh has truly brushed the higher threshold of terror, and with flesh alone he can shatter any divine weapons at will!

The phenomenon is not limited to Sixing Star.

That massive purple‑gold blood surge and the towering imperial image's projection, like the brightest lighthouse in the night, instantly illuminated nearly half of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor Star Domain!

Thousands of nearby stars, whether inhabited by Ye Clan folk or not, all beings upon them felt the terrifying pressure, vast as the starry sky and majestic as a heavenly emperor's descent!

Countless old monsters in seclusion were startled awake, ordinary cultivators stared at the sky in horror, beasts lay in ambush, and flora drooped.

"What… what kind of terrifying flesh fluctuation is this?!"

"From the direction of Sixing Star… it's Young Master Wuque! He's broken through again!"

"My heavens! This Dharma Image… solid as a true body, Imperial Majesty vast, what level of terrifying flesh is this?!"

"Young Master's flesh, to what extent has it been cultivated? Absolutely unfathomable!"

Throughout the Ye Clan Territory, resonant Divine Sense exchanges erupted everywhere.

Many Ye Clan strongmen left their seclusion sites or duties, turning their gazes toward Sixing Star, their faces full of awe and disbelief.

Even Ye Jinghong, who was in the Clan Leader's Great Hall at the core of the Star Domain discussing matters with several Elders, was startled by this sudden vast wave.

He flickered, appearing in the void outside the hall, gazing toward Sixing Star, watching the towering purple‑gold imperial image; brilliant light burst from his eyes, and he could not help but clap and exclaim, "Excellent! What a flesh Dharma Image! Wuque's flesh foundation, from ancient times to now, perhaps no one can surpass it! Hahaha!"

Seventh Elder Ye Huanyu also appeared beside him, his face flushed with excitement: "Such a phenomenon, such might! Wuque's recent seclusion yielded results that shake heaven and earth! In the future of the Ye Clan, there will surely arise an invincible Supreme who proves the Dao with force and sweeps the heavens!"

Several other Elders who sensed it also materialized, each wearing ecstatic smiles, chatting excitedly.

Ye Wuque's breakthrough was not merely a personal power leap, but also symbolized the young generation of the Ye Clan reaching an unprecedented pinnacle of combat strength, bearing incalculable positive impact on the clan's morale and future.

Above Sixing Star, the towering purple‑gold imperial image slowly raised an arm, as if sensing the boundless power within this brand‑new flesh Dharma Image, then it gradually dissipated, turning into countless purple‑gold specks that fell like a rain of myriad stars, sinking back into Sixing Peak.

The soaring blood pillar also slowly contracted.

Inside the seclusion cave, Ye Wuque slowly opened his eyes.

A flash of purple‑gold divine light flickered in his pupils, and the purple‑gold sheen on his skin gradually faded, returning to its usual warm‑jade luster.

Yet his entire demeanor was deeper and heavier than before the seclusion, as if a vast universe capable of birthing stars lay dormant within him.

He carefully contemplated the changes brought by the Emperor Form flesh, the sensation of being able to shatter the Great Universe or grasp stars with a gesture, and the heightened, fingertip‑like mastery over all forces of Heaven and Earth, which pleased him greatly.

"Three years of seclusion, the Emperor Form finally completed; the Creation Saint Method Origin has begun to merge into the Dao Foundation, and the Creation Heavenly Emperor Slash has also been refined to great completion… the harvest is abundant."

Ye Wuque tallied it in his mind, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Although his cultivation realm still remains at Stepping Heaven Realm Great Perfection, he knows clearly that his true combat power—especially his flesh combat power and overall foundation—has surged again, and if he meets an opponent from the sixth layer Sky Peak of the Half-Decay Realm, he is confident he can defeat them with ease, perhaps even challenge a higher level.

He rose tall, and his bones emitted a crisp, pleasant booming sound, like a Dragon Chant and a phoenix's cry.

The seclusion is over; it's time to emerge.

Ye Wuque pushed open the stone door of the Secluded Dongfu, which was as heavy as a mountain, and stepped out.

Outside, warm starlight and dense spiritual energy brushed his face; at the summit of Sixing Peak, the sea of clouds roiled, immortal cranes flew, and all was tranquil.

In the distance, the maidservants startled by the earlier phenomenon were now gathering cautiously far away; upon seeing him emerge, they all showed expressions of relief and profound reverence.

He did not leave the summit immediately, but stood with his hands behind his back at the cliff edge, overlooking the magnificent rivers and mountains of Sixing Star, quietly feeling the subtle sensation of reestablishing his connection with heaven and earth after emerging, and also reviewing his upcoming plans.

Just then—

Clap clap clap clap clap!

A clear, rhythmic applause suddenly came from the Void behind his side.

The applause was neither hurried nor slow, yet carried an odd penetrating force, as if it struck directly upon a person's heart lake, instantly shattering the mountain peak's tranquility.

Immediately after, a young voice tinged with obvious awe and admiration sounded calmly:

"Indeed worthy of being a descendant of my Ye line… truly… a startlingly brilliant and dazzling talent, leaving one in awe…"
