Chapter 208

The Tyrant Body fell, and the universe seemed like an ignited powder keg; in an instant, discussions were rampant and the clamor did not cease.

Under the clear, cold night sky, a stretch of dead silence and bleak desolation.

The Xianlu opened; in just two days, the number of Supremes lost actually exceeded a hundred, and the vast majority died at Jiang Xuan's hands.

The invincible image of Supremes of the past was completely overturned; all glory was trampled beneath Jiang Xuan's feet.

Today Jiang Xuan slaughters Supremes; perhaps after long ages, he too will face the same fate.

Just like the Great Sage Holy Body of the Holy Cliff, in his prime he was high-spirited and awe-inspiring in all directions, but in his twilight years he suffered a sudden calamity, his blood staining the mountain cliff.

The Emperor once dominated the universe, peerless and unmatched; did he not also ultimately vanish in the long river of time?

But that is ultimately an unknown tens of thousands of years later.

At present, after this battle, Jiang Xuan's prestige is at its zenith like the midday sun; wherever he goes, stars surround the moon, and there is no dissenting voice. His might is like the vast Heavenly Vault, suppressing the ten directions of the universe.

All living beings have joys and worries; the races of the universe react differently. Jiang Xuan reigns over the world, and the influence is far too profound! Everyone predicts Jiang Xuan will certainly enter closed-door cultivation to stabilize his own Dao fruit; in the short term he likely will not lightly act again, after all, having slain many Supremes, his might is already established!

Not a single Life Forbidden Zone dares to move rashly, dreading the tragic consequences after war breaks out.

……

A great tribulation's howl suddenly rose; terrifying waves struck the shore, the vast Star River violently trembled, and countless Star Domains instantly shattered.

"Who is it? It's actually the Yin-Yang Great Tribulation, the Quasi-Emperor Nine Heavens peak!" A Forbidden Zone Supreme who had not yet emerged into the world had eyes like lightning, tightly locking onto the shocking changes in the outside world.

"This person is not of the present world; unknown in which era he already lay dormant; now he emerges to cross the tribulation."

Between heaven and earth, thunder rumbled continuously, as if war drums sounded in unison.

"Someone is proving the Dao and becoming a Great Emperor!"

Ye Fan's heart surged, deeply shaken.

"It's not Jiang Xuan; then who on earth is it?"

The universe clamored; Jiang Xuan, revered as the Heavenly Emperor, has not yet proven the Dao, yet someone seizes the chance to prove the Dao and become a Great Emperor — could twin suns shine forth?

Some were terrified; Jiang Xuan is at his zenith, mastering the universe; the position of Current Generation Great Emperor is almost in his pocket. This person dares to defy heaven and prove the Dao — is he not afraid Jiang Xuan will make a move?

"This junior truly has patience, enduring for generations, selecting the opportunity, with ambition reaching the Heavenly Vault!" The Beast God, seeing this, could not help but sigh lightly.

Just what kind of supernatural event beyond imagination is this?

After long ages, unexpectedly without any warning, someone is about to step into the Emperor Realm.

Everything happened too suddenly, a bolt from the blue; beforehand not a shred of clue could be found, not half a trace to seek; the speed was so fast it completely surpassed the Supremes' meticulous calculations.

"In the past there was no sensing at all; who on earth is this person? Why can he so abruptly step onto the path to becoming Emperor? In the long river of memory, there has never been the slightest impression of him!"

The struggles on the Xianlu by comparison no longer appear that intense.

All of this was beyond the Supremes' expectations.

They usually opposed each other and guarded against each other, yet facing this situation, they also truly felt a strong sense of crisis.

In this world, there actually exists a person they cannot calculate; likely second only to Jiang Xuan.

"Boom—!"

The vast divine tribulation surged tumultuously; the Universe Wasteland shattered into pieces, turned to dust, and countless Star Systems were annihilated, turning into a cloud of smoke and dust.

A supreme, all-controlling Law spread and expanded.

Ten thousand Daos resonated together, as if lamenting; the various Order God Chains in the universe seemed about to be suppressed by it.

This person is about to forge a unique Human Dao peak; from now on he will stand proudly erect, looking down on the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"Has he succeeded? As long as he successfully crosses the lightning tribulation, another Supreme-level existence will be added to this long river of past ages!"

The Feng Chi Liu Jin Qiang sighed softly, thoughts drifting back to the glorious years of the past, then looking at the current desolate situation, the heart was full of indescribable sorrow!

"It feels somewhat familiar, as if it once appeared in the long river of history, but for a moment I cannot recall who it actually is. Just who will it be?!"

Several Supremes had keen perception; among them someone caught a trace of a familiar-seeming aura, yet ultimately could not precisely identify just which divine being it was.

"Boom!"

The Great Emperor Tribulation surged tumultuously, spreading wantonly through the vast universe, tyrannically fierce, sweeping toward the universe.

The Emperor Tribulation is forging that unique Emperor's Way, intending to cover the entire universe beneath it.

Once someone successfully proves the Dao, all later comers during his lifetime will have absolutely no possibility of becoming Emperor again.

Only by patiently waiting for him to pass away for ten thousand years will a new chance to become Emperor appear.

The Heaven's Prides of the heavens are now all trembling in their hearts. In this life, Ancient Emperor Princes appear one after another; the most stunning, outstanding heroic talents emerge in droves; prodigies bearing various ancient inheritances are numerous — it can be called a once-in-past-ages great gathering, a great accumulation; they all compete to revive and show their edge in this life.

Although Jiang Xuan's combat power defies heaven and he can slay Supremes, he has ultimately not yet proven the Dao; they have not had no chance at all.

However, this person's act of becoming Emperor forcibly severs everyone's path toward the Emperor Realm.

"How can it be like this? Just why is this?"

"Why precisely at this time?!"

"No, how can I be willing to accept this!"

The universe is vast and boundless; Huo Qi Zi, Shen Can Daoist, Yin Tian De, Shen Zun, Yao Guang, Hua Yunfei — which one among them is not a peerless talent of stunning brilliance, unparalleled through ancient and modern times?

They are all currently at the Great Sage Realm, but as long as they are given time, they have confidence to prove the Dao and become Emperor.

However, the abruptly descending Great Emperor Tribulation is undoubtedly a catastrophic disaster for them; not a glimmer of light or hope is visible.

The path to becoming Emperor that they yearn for day and night is thus abruptly and ruthlessly cut off.

"Even if just borrowing five hundred more years from heaven would be good; High Heaven, why are you so unfair?!"

"I clearly have already seen the dawn of becoming Emperor; why?!"

Throughout the universe, countless Heaven's Prides are bitter in heart, enduring this desperate blow in silence; some cry out in grief, hearts full of pain unable to accept this cruel outcome.

The Great Emperor Tribulation is truly too abrupt, without the slightest warning; if it were another great era, this person would necessarily have long since shaken the world with fame, forged a brilliant reputation, killed his way out of a mountain of corpses and sea of blood, yet now it erupts suddenly.

Boom!

The Heavenly Tribulation shakes the world, covering everything, drowning endless Star Systems.

The rules of the Great Dao are arranging themselves, constantly changing; this life's strongest one's laws and Dao will become the sole one, suppressing all Dao lineages, ruling this universe.

Thunder rumbles, chaotic Qi surges, blazing electric lights dance, each spanning several star systems, incomparably long, shocking to behold.

"So this is the Emperor Tribulation? It's too terrifying!"

Amidst endless thunder light, a golden figure stands alone, fiercely confronting, warring against the Dao, seeking to fuse his supreme brand with the universe, becoming the only one.

The endless sea of thunder rushes over, each layer appearing that terrifying.

A long cry rings out, a fire light soars to the heavens, a golden figure seems to have broken through the shackles of ten thousand ages, streaking across half the universe, continuously impacting.

"A divine bird!"

Someone saw a remnant shadow of the one achieving emperorship, revealing a shocked expression; this does not belong to the Human Race, a Demon Race Great Emperor is about to appear.

"Whoever he is, all this has nothing to do with us anymore; he contends for the Great Emperor position, while we fight for the path to immortality!"

The faces of the several Supremes are cold and stern, their expressions indifferent.

In the past, whenever such signs of achieving emperorship appeared, they would surely go all out to stop it, decisively intervening.

At this moment, they have no leisure to attend to anything else. The Xian Yu looms before them, within reach. If they can successfully step into the Xian Yu, they will surely forge history, becoming the ones who ultimately achieve featherization and immortality throughout all ages past and present, leaving their names for ten thousand generations.

"Boom!"

In the outside world, the Emperor Tribulation is like surging angry waves, growing ever more violent and untamable. Vast power, even the Immortal Path is affected; this scene shocks the world and astounds the vulgar.

Clearly the one crossing the tribulation, his scene must be grand and magnificent, shaking heaven and earth; energy aftermath spreads to here.

"He is rapidly shifting position, cleverly dodging the thunder tribulation's bombardment with extraordinary speed, while secretly gathering strength, wanting to grit his teeth and endure through this tribulation."

The White Tiger Daoist's eyes reveal brilliant light, he speaks softly.

"Strong? Merely so, barely meeting the standard. Only by successfully crossing the tribulation can one be called a Great Emperor. If defeated, in the end it is but fleeting clouds and smoke!" The Beast God's tone is icy cold, like frost and snow.

The divine bird cries long, its voice shaking the Nine Heavens, the universe also trembling. A Great Emperor is tenaciously rising amidst thunder tribulation and war fire, suffering bitter trials, striving to break through. But see, amidst the interweaving of thunder and fire, a golden figure tears through the heavenly vault, speeding past the edge of the Flying Immortal Star System, tribulation light like a waterfall behind him, magnificently spectacular.

"It's actually the Golden Crow Clan, someone is about to achieve emperorship!"

On the path to immortality, everyone feels a vast oppressive force surging over. Its Qi is fierce and unmatched, as if burning with raging flames, making one's heart turn cold.

"I seem to have an impression; in the past there was a Quasi-Emperor who crossed the Nine Heavens Tribulation, its momentum shook heaven and moved earth, even slumbering powerhouses were startled awake, causing their Immortal Platforms to be damaged."

After thousands of years leisurely passing, he ultimately still failed to break the shackles, and sat in transformation in gloom.

"This Golden Crow, can be said to be deeply scheming, deceiving all the Supremes right under their noses!"

"He must have studied the Nirvana Method, opening a second life. Wagering the life and Dao foundation of one life, just to be able to successfully achieve emperorship in this life!"

The several Supremes hearing this, cold light glints in their eyes. If it weren't for the current Heavenly Emperor consecutively slaying Supremes, the situation being special, they would certainly intervene without the slightest hesitation.

Before figuring out this one's attitude, they dare not act rashly!

Simultaneously, Ye Fan also, relying on his keen perception, sensed that unique Qi.

Recalling those years, Ye Fan went to the Tian Bing Gu Xing to train, and made a shocking discovery.

It turned out, the entire Tian Bing Gu Xing was actually transformed from Lingbao Tianzun's skull, and in the depths of that planetary core, the flame of the Supreme Immortal Platform burned blazingly, enduring without cease, and there was even precious immortal liquid flowing gently.

A golden egg lay quietly hidden within, greedily absorbing all the surrounding energy essence, and a Crow Great Sage loyally guarded at its side.

When all these past memories swept past Ye Fan's heart like a tide, his inner heart couldn't help but tremble violently.

So it turns out, this person about to achieve emperorship is actually that old Quasi-Emperor of the Golden Crow Clan!

All along, the world has circulated rumors about how extraordinary and formidable this old Quasi-Emperor was, yet his true body was never seen to appear. Until later, everyone thought he had long since sat in transformation, yet unexpectedly there is now such a heaven-shaking change.

Everyone determined that after Jiang Xuan slew the Da Cheng Ba Ti, he would certainly enter closed-door cultivation to consolidate his Dao fruit, and in the short term would definitely not make another move. Such conduct would greatly benefit both the consolidation of his own strength and the establishment of his prestige.

The Ancient Supremes in the Life Forbidden Zones likewise harbored dread, not daring to act rashly.

However, Jiang Xuan's actions completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

Jiang Xuan did not pause in the slightest, heading straight for Beidou.

Killing intent surges around his body, not concealed in the least, clearly intending to launch a conquest again.

Countless people are shocked beyond measure, trembling with fear!

"Could the Heavenly Emperor intend to level the Life Forbidden Zones one by one?"

This matter, throughout all ages past and present, many Great Emperors have failed to accomplish. It is because if the people of the Forbidden Zones are forced into a desperate situation, the Ancient Supremes will surely exert all their ability to break through limits; at that time, flawless Huang Gao Shou gather in numbers, even if immortals and gods descend to the world, they would still fear it difficult to withstand their edge. Moreover, just how many Supremes are hidden within the Forbidden Zones, whether ten or twenty, perhaps even the Forbidden Zones themselves do not know.

Jiang Xuan descends like the Heavenly Emperor to the mortal world, his true body appears in the North Dipper Star Domain, looking down upon the Seven Great Life Forbidden Zones.

For a while, ordinary people fall silent, not daring to speak; even the Forbidden Zone Supremes, likewise only silence remains.

In an instant, heaven and earth tremble, wind and clouds change color.

The Qi around his body is like an abyss and a prison, vast and boundless, surging unrestrained; where his gaze reaches, the Ancient Supremes seem like fragile grass and mustard.

Jiang Xuan appears here, displaying no divine abilities, nor revealing any soaring killing intent, merely standing calmly in the Void.

But anyone with a bit of discernment can perceive, this is absolutely not a peaceful and auspicious visit.

"The Heavenly Emperor acting like this, is somewhat too reckless!"

Someone couldn't help but cry out in a low voice,

"He has already completely exterminated the Cang Tian Ba Xue lineage; this is undoubtedly proclaiming his dominance to the world. Today acting like this, could he actually deludedly think to level the several great Forbidden Zones with his own power alone?"

"Absolutely must not be like this!"

Another person said with a face full of worry,

"If the Heavenly Emperor continues acting so recklessly without any scruples, once he provokes all existences within the Forbidden Zones, causing them to unite in common hatred and counterattack, even if he is the Heavenly Emperor, he will surely fall into a desperate situation, life and death uncertain."

"Recalling the past, the Di Zun of mighty fame, who rampaged across heaven and earth, did he not also fall and die under the encirclement and pursuit of several Great Emperors? Within the Forbidden Zones, crouching tigers and hidden dragons, mysterious and unfathomable, how could they be easily conquered? How many Great Emperors famous throughout ancient and modern times have broken their halberds and sunk in the sand before the Forbidden Zones? Even the Wushi Great Emperor, whose might shook the universe and whose merit equaled creation, once faced the Forbidden Zones and had to compromise."

Everyone has a bone-deep recognition of Jiang Xuan's unfathomably powerful strength; his strength can be called peerless in the world. The supreme title of "Heavenly Emperor" for him is absolutely not an empty name, but the symbol of his strength rampaging across heaven and earth, suppressing all spirits.

However, even though Jiang Xuan is this powerful, people's hearts still cannot help but worry for his safety. After all, those Supremes hidden in the Forbidden Zones, not a single one is not a top powerhouse who has experienced the baptism of countless years in heaven and earth, emerging from mountains of corpses and seas of blood. And the Beidou Forbidden Zone is even more like a mysterious forbidden land, full of unknown dangers and terrors; compared to the Da Cheng Ba Ti Zu Dong, its peril is even greater, a difference like heaven and abyss.

The Ancient Supremes of this region are all powerful existences precipitated in the Long River of Time.

They proved the Dao since remote antiquity, their strength extraordinary, experiencing countless tribulation numbers without perishing.

Their prestige once intimidated the universe; each one grasps peerless divine abilities and secret powers, in past eras ruling the rise and fall.

Wan Ling did not want Jiang Xuan to disregard his own safety and flatten the Forbidden Zone!
