Chương 254: Transcendence (Part 10)

Ning Changqing vanished. He activated the Wheel of Time and escaped from Eternal Night Emperor City.

"Di Chen… I underestimated you too much," Ning Changqing murmured to himself. Since he had ascended to the Great Emperor realm in the Mythical Era, no one had ever made him feel this way again. Meeting a worthy opponent brought him a rare sense of joy. Ning Changqing glanced at the peerless beauty beside him.

"Yaoye, your father will be fine." He thought she was worried about the Eternal Night Great Emperor and offered rare words of comfort. The woman did not respond. Under his gaze, the beautiful figure began to crumble bit by bit like a shattered sculpture.

"Young… Young Master…" The sword-bearing maidservant's face twisted with intense agony. Ning Changqing looked over and saw that her exquisite face was now stained with filthy blood. Dirty, polluted blood continuously seeped out. The most terrifying curse of the heavens had erupted before him. Ning Changqing moved to suppress it, but stopped. He was no longer the invincible Heavenly Venerate. He could not suppress a fully unleashed heavenly curse.

The woman was swallowed by the tainted blood, which soaked through Ning Changqing's snow-white robes. For the first time, rage surfaced in his eyes.

"Di Chen…" His voice grew cold and murderous. The surrounding land instantly transformed into a ghostly domain.... A colossal force had been suppressed and destroyed, even while protected by a Great Emperor. The Eternal Night Emperor Court was annihilated before the Eternal Night Great Emperor had even died. Countless experts were slaughtered, including several Quasi-Emperors.

"It's too terrifying…"

"That supreme Immortal Spirit has only appeared for such a short time, yet he already managed to destroy a massive Emperor Court."

"A current Great Emperor is still alive, yet his orthodoxy has been wiped out… This has never happened before. That supreme Immortal Spirit is simply too overbearing!"

"..." Su Chen had destroyed the Eternal Night Emperor Court. He could afford to let Ning Changqing, his treasure-hunting rat, escape, but he had no intention of sparing the forces backing him. He swept away all the resources of the Eternal Night Emperor Court. The battle between the Eternal Night Great Emperor and the Formless Sword Great Emperor of the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect continued deep within the Chaos Sea and showed no signs of ending soon. Su Chen was not worried.

He returned to the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect and began cultivating. With his foundation and the newly acquired resources, he would soon break through the barrier and step into the Quasi-Emperor realm.... Flowers bloomed and withered. In a land shining with boundless radiance, a supreme figure opened his eyes and looked toward the distant depths of the Chaos Sea.

Among the current Great Emperors, aside from the newly ascended Formless Sword Great Emperor, there were the Eternal Night Great Emperor and the Eternal Dawn Great Emperor. The two had been rivals and friends for countless years, competing in the Dao before ascending to the Emperor realm together. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. The Eternal Dawn Great Emperor let out a soft sigh. A mournful cry echoed from the direction of the Chaos Sea.

Countless powerhouses across the starry sky looked up in horror. An Emperor had fallen!

"The battle between the Formless Sword Great Emperor of the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect and the Eternal Night Great Emperor has ended!"

"In the end, the Formless Sword Great Emperor was superior. The Eternal Night Great Emperor was defeated and killed."

"With a flawless Great Emperor protecting the Immortal Spirit, the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect is destined to shine brilliantly in this era."

"..." A Great Emperor had died. All beings marveled at the foundation of the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect. With Great Emperors before them and an Immortal Spirit now, this era was destined to be tragic for everyone else. After all, even the Chaos Body—the strongest physique—had been defeated. It was not that the Chaos Body was unworthy of the title, but that the Immortal Spirit was simply too powerful. The fall of a Great Emperor caused all Daos to grieve. Ning Changqing naturally sensed it as well.

Although in his eyes, a Great Emperor of the Eternal Night's level was rather weak, he had still been an Emperor for tens of thousands of years. Yet he had been killed by a newly ascended Emperor inside the Chaos Sea.

"Useless trash," Ning Changqing muttered coldly. The Eternal Night Great Emperor was dead, but that did not concern Ning Changqing. He had once been the Heavenly Venerate who had looked down upon the changing eras and possessed countless methods. He also knew many secrets of the world. His cultivation was now on the verge of breaking through to the Saint King realm, allowing him to explore certain ancient lands. During the Mythical Era, he had visited many orthodoxies and left behind preparations.

Although most had vanished over time, in the Primordial Dao Domain he had discovered traces of one particular ancient site. The Jade Pool Sacred Land.

"The Jade Pool Sacred Land once produced a supreme Great Emperor in the Mythical Era. After failing to achieve transcendence, she used her unparalleled talent to gather the Great Dao essences and Immortal Spirits of countless Emperors throughout history, hoping to transcend this world," Ning Changqing recalled with nostalgia. That distant era had been no less brilliant than the present one—perhaps even more so—with geniuses and monsters appearing in endless waves.

The founder of the Jade Pool Sacred Land had been one of its most dazzling figures.... Back at the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect, the ancestors' faces lit up with joy when they sensed the aura from the Chaos Sea. The Emperor battle had ended in victory for their sect. Five Emperors across five generations—what incredible foundation! Before they could recover from the excitement, countless phenomena erupted in the sky above the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect.

"It's the Emperor Son! He has broken through to the Quasi-Emperor realm!" Quasi-Emperor! Less than a hundred years had passed since Su Chen's emergence, yet he had already reached the Quasi-Emperor realm. Countless Dao runes swirled through the sky like falling rain. The disciples and elders of the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect went wild with joy.

"The Emperor Son is displaying his own Dao and sharing his insights from breaking through to Quasi-Emperor!"

"This is an immense fortune. Even comprehending a ten-thousandth of it would bring endless benefits!"

"..." In a single day, the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect was blessed with double celebrations. The Formless Sword Great Emperor had just returned from the Chaos Sea when he witnessed the scene. Fresh from slaying a peak Great Emperor, he had been in high spirits.

"Hiss—" The Formless Sword Great Emperor drew in a sharp breath after just a glance. The profundity and obscurity he sensed left him stunned.

"If the Emperor Son becomes an Emperor, he will likely surpass me with ease," the Formless Great Emperor murmured. There was a vast gulf even between Emperors. Su Chen's phenomenon lasted for several months before gradually fading. Every member of the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect, from ancestors to ordinary disciples, gained enormous benefits. His followers stationed outside benefited even more. As they grew stronger, they only felt increasingly insignificant before him. Several more months passed.

Su Chen's expression turned strange.

"The Jade Pool Sacred Land ruins?" In the Primordial Dao Domain, an ancient ruin had been opened. Heavenly secrets were revealed, drawing countless forces into motion. The Jade Pool Sacred Land had survived the Dark Era and the Emperor Dao Era, yet it had been destroyed overnight by a terrifying powerhouse in this new era. No one knew the true reason behind its fall. But Su Chen knew. The sudden reappearance of the long-lost Jade Pool Sacred Land ruins was undoubtedly connected to Ning Changqing.

This treasure-hunting rat was truly useful, bringing him such a pleasant surprise so quickly. Su Chen sighed with emotion.

"After laying out plans for so many years, it is finally time to reap the rewards."
