Chương 201: Emperor's Fate (Part 17)

However, just when everyone thought the situation was settled, A series of grand Buddhist chants suddenly rang out between heaven and earth. They looked up. In the starry skies, an incomparably massive figure appeared… No, it was not just one! They seemed to have been placed inside a painting, watched by figures outside the scroll. Those gazes were brighter than the sun, interwoven with ancient runes. Towering, majestic existences stood there.

"Heavenly Palace… Emperor Gate… God Slaying Hall… Myriad Demons Mountain…" Without exception, these were the most terrifying forces on the Emperor Path. At this moment, they had descended upon this Emperor Pass!

"Damn it… Wasn't it said that no Heavenly King-level existences could descend at the tenth Emperor Pass?" Some people felt their scalps go numb with terror, because every single being that had arrived was a top figure from their respective forces. They had already been at the Great Saint realm a long time ago.

"No… they have severed their own cultivation! All of this is for the Ye Clan's Emperor Son!" It was too terrifying. These existences who could dominate even the deeper parts of the Emperor Path had actually severed their own cultivation and paid a huge price to return from the depths of the Emperor Path to the tenth Emperor Pass—all for the sake of the Ye Clan's Emperor Son! Ji Changkong and the Black Dragon Crown Prince had slain their enemies, yet they now faced an even more terrifying situation.

Those existences could crush entire star systems with just a single breath. Even if they were unwilling to admit it, they were still like ants before these beings. The Heavenly King level monsters from the supreme orthodoxies were whispering among themselves, discussing how to divide Su Chen.

"Come back." A calm voice broke the heavy atmosphere. The one who had spoken was Su Chen. Ji Changkong and the Black Dragon Crown Prince received the order and respectfully returned to Su Chen's side. Under everyone's watchful eyes, the signs of Su Chen's aging, weakness, and pallor completely vanished. His black hair cascaded over his shoulders, and beneath his profound black robe, his aura was deep and unfathomable. He was like an ancient god-king awakening, radiating eternal brilliance.

There was no trace of the dying man from before. They had been tricked! The Ye Clan's Emperor Son had never been severely injured or on the verge of death because of the Soul Extinguishing Curse! Everything had been an act! Some beings trembled in their souls as they realized the most horrifying possibility: the Ye Clan's Emperor Son had never been heavily injured by the Soul Extinguishing Curse at all.

It had all been a facade—a trap set by the Ye Clan's Emperor Son to lure out every force that harbored killing intent toward him!

"Does he… have this much confidence?" This time, Heavenly King-level existences had even severed their own cultivation to come to the tenth Emperor Pass! Su Chen stood high above the ancient world. His deep aura triggered heaven-shaking, earth-shattering phenomena. At this moment, a terrifying great tribulation was condensing. The Saint King Tribulation! The Ye Clan's Emperor Son had only cultivated for a little over a hundred years, yet he was already undergoing the Saint King Tribulation!

No one knew Su Chen's exact strength, but at this moment, everyone was shocked—including the Heavenly King-level monsters who had crossed realms. Becoming a Saint in just over a hundred years was already an earth-shaking event throughout history. Undergoing the Saint King Tribulation after a little more than a hundred years… how terrifying was that? The word "monster" was no longer enough. From the Saint realm to the Saint King realm, one still had to pass through nine layers of heaven.

Advancing one layer every hundred years was already monstrous talent! Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author's preferred platform and support their work! Entering the Saint King realm in a hundred years was impossible even with the Flying Immortal Dao Body. However… the vast amount of peerless divine medicines Ye Liuli had force-fed Su Chen back then had left behind residual medicinal power that he could not fully refine.

Su Chen had spent a full hundred years refining that power, which allowed him to charge toward the Saint King realm in just a hundred years!

"Ye Clan Emperor Son, are you willing to join my Heavenly Palace? If you join us, the matter of you slaying our disciple can be written off. You will become a figure second only to one and above ten thousand! Your status will even be above mine!" The Heavenly King from the Heavenly Palace was visibly moved. Such talent was enough for the Heavenly Palace to set aside their grudge and recruit him! Su Chen sneered and directly pulled the Heavenly Palace's Saint King into the range of his tribulation.

Without stopping there, he dragged the Heavenly Kings from the other forces into the tribulation range as well. He actually intended to make everyone undergo the tribulation together and slaughter them all within the calamity! The power of the Flying Immortal swept across the battlefield. With unmatched speed and mastery over time secret arts, Su Chen condensed power between his palms and charged in all directions.

These Heavenly King-level experts had severed their own cultivation to descend here—Su Chen naturally would not waste such an opportunity!

"The Emperor Path is destined to make one the enemy of the entire world!" No one on the deeper reaches of the Emperor Path did not desire to become Emperor! Su Chen, of course, wanted to become Emperor—especially to do so in a single lifetime! The great battle erupted. The Heavenly King from the Heavenly Palace roared in fury, "I saw that your talent was outstanding and was willing to set aside our grudge, yet you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

Su Chen charged straight toward the Heavenly Palace's Heavenly King. Both sides erupted with mighty power and clashed fiercely. While undergoing the Saint King Tribulation, Su Chen fought against the Heavenly Kings from multiple forces at once. His aura grew increasingly powerful. Bathed in the light of the Flying Immortal, he tore apart one powerful enemy after another.

Su Chen, shrouded in Flying Immortal light, looked like a true immortal, yet his slaughter of the Heavenly Kings made him resemble a demon lord descending upon the world.

"No!" The Heavenly King from the Heavenly Palace let out a miserable scream. Su Chen's methods were simply too terrifying. In Su Chen, he saw the shadow of his own Palace Master… perhaps an existence even more terrifying than his master! This was his final thought! During the battle, Su Chen's Flying Immortal Body was bathed in the blood of numerous Heavenly King-level monsters and actually advanced further.

The Flying Immortal Dao Body reached a minor accomplishment, and his combat strength became terrifying enough to slay Heavenly Kings. No one could escape, because no matter how fast they were, they could not outpace the Flying Immortal Dao Body. It was utterly despairing! The prodigies from the great worlds watched one Heavenly King-level monster after another being slaughtered and felt deep sorrow in their hearts.

"Even someone as powerful as a Heavenly King can die… The Emperor Path is littered with blood. Attaining the Dao… attaining the Dao… In the end, it is nothing but a fleeting dream!" In one lifetime, only one person could attain the Dao. How cruel was that? No matter how peerless your talent, you would ultimately become nothing more than a stepping stone for that one person.

After thousands or tens of thousands of years, your name would vanish, your footprints would disappear, and you would become nothing but a speck of insignificant dust behind that supreme figure! From the other shore of a great world, a terrifying aura erupted following the death of the Heavenly Palace's Heavenly King.

"Whoever dares to kill a Heavenly King of my Heavenly Palace… Shall die!" The aura was majestic and boundless. A supreme expert had crossed countless domains and made his move! Facing that aura capable of annihilating everything, Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back.

"Courting death!" At the same moment, an unparalleled taboo power descended! Accompanied by a miserable scream, the aura of the Heavenly Palace's supreme expert who had crossed realms vanished without a trace. He had ignored the rules of the Emperor Path and acted rashly. Even if he did not die, he would surely suffer greatly! The Emperor Path fell silent. Everyone was still immersed in the shock of what had just happened. Only Su Chen's voice echoed through the void: "This seat is Ye Chen.

I intend to establish the Myriad Laws Hall, wage war across the Emperor Path, and shelter those who come after. All who have ambition and aspiration may join the Myriad Laws Hall and pursue greatness together!" In a trance, everyone seemed to see. Yet another colossal force rising from the Emperor Path, one whose name would resound for countless ages. The name of the Myriad Laws Hall was destined to shake the universe, astonish the Emperor Path, and attract countless monsters to join it, one wave after another!
