Chapter 221: Achieving the Dao and Becoming an Emperor, Empress Master Flees in Panic
“Achieving the Dao and becoming an Emperor shall be today!”
Zhou Chen rose to his feet.
Xue Mei and Yao Mei lay sprawled, their bodies like mutton-fat jade, their skin flushed with patches of pink, their legs spread wide.
Zhou Chen’s gaze swept over them. They seemed to have been crying for a long time; the bedding was soaked with tears, their eyes were red and swollen, and they were still weeping softly.
He picked up the divine weapon gifts, the Yin-Yang Profound Magnetic Cores and the Sky-Supporting White Jade Pillars. As a set of gifts, Zhou Chen gave each of them a set.
He reached out and nudged them, making sure they were placed properly. Zhou Chen nodded in satisfaction and with a flash, he appeared in the air.
“Little rascal, let them go even after you’re done!”
Xue Mei and Yao Mei opened their eyes, feeling the gifts acting up on their bodies, and cursed him inwardly.
“Add points!”
Zhou Chen, now light and carefree after giving away all the gold and treasures from his treasury, did not hesitate to add one quadrillion Romance Points.
Instantly.
Zhou Chen felt as if he was in harmony with the myriad paths of heaven and earth, comprehending the essence and splendor of the Great Dao. Countless insights surged into his mind like a tidal wave.
The Myriad Forms Law, which had already reached Complete Mastery, underwent a metamorphosis as if encountering a catalyst, taking a final leap and transforming into the Path of Myriad Forms.
At this moment.
Zhou Chen’s entire being began to transform. His body glowed, radiant like a blazing sun.
His Law Body rapidly evolved towards an Emperor’s Body.
Old bones and skin continuously fell away, as he underwent a complete transformation.
His body shimmered with a radiant glow, like jade and glass, dazzling and brilliant. His hair was black and thick, gleaming with luster, his body strong and slender, filled with power.
His eyes were deep and unfathomable, as immeasurable as a starry sea! A terrifying aura, like a giant dragon awakening, emanated from within him, shaking the Four Seas and Eight Desolations, penetrating the past, present, and future.
Millions of miles of thunderclouds gathered in the sky, forming a thick layer of tribulation clouds, blotting out the sun and plunging the entire City of Romance into darkness.
This sight was utterly terrifying.
“What’s happening?”
“It’s the Alliance Leader!”
“Could it be that the Alliance Leader has broken through and is about to achieve the Dao and become an Emperor?”
“It must be the Alliance Leader achieving the Dao and becoming an Emperor!”
“My heavens, in just three hundred years, he’s going to become an Emperor!”
“This is defying the heavens!”
“Indeed, other Martial Emperors would likely still be stabilizing their cultivation after three hundred years, yet the Alliance Leader is already becoming an Emperor!”
“The Alliance Leader isn’t even five hundred years old yet, is he?”
“Becoming an Emperor at five hundred, unheard of in ancient or modern times!”
“Truly terrifying!”
Countless experts in the City of Romance were stunned, gazing at the sky with burning eyes.
They were about to witness history.
They were about to personally witness the birth of a supreme Great Emperor!
“Becoming an Emperor”
Beautiful Master Huangfu Yue Yao, with her long, smooth, white legs and ample bosom, stepped out of her cave and looked up with a melancholic gaze.
She was only at the King Realm now.
But Zhou Chen was already about to become an Emperor.
It was truly too fast.
She probably wouldn’t even reach the Emperor Realm by the time Zhou Chen ascended to immortality.
“This little fellow is truly terrifying!”
Qing Yu Yao, with her elegant figure and snowy skin, came to Huangfu Yue Yao’s side, gazing at Zhou Chen’s imposing figure in the sky with affectionate eyes.
It had been nearly five hundred years in the blink of an eye.
That little fellow, who was only at the Body Refinement Realm back then, had not only become the ruler of the Tian Yuan Continent, but now he was stepping onto the peak of the human path, becoming a Great Emperor! The wonders of life were truly unpredictable.
“Great Emperor.”
Li Chang Feng’s eyes were deep, filled with longing.
Thanks to Zhou Chen’s resources, he had also reached the Divine Ability Realm now.
Although the Divine Ability Realm was nothing to Zhou Chen now, and none of the women around him were below the Divine Ability Realm,
The Divine Ability Realm was still quite powerful.
In the Great Qian Dynasty, one could become an elder, or even a Vice Sect Master, of the Unbounded Sword Sect with this level of cultivation.
If it weren’t for Zhou Chen, Li Chang Feng would probably have reached the Nascent Soul Realm at most, and Divine Seed Realm at the very best, in the Azure Cloud Sect.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The surrounding space rippled as powerful figures, each with an imposing and ethereal aura, arrived from all directions.
Yao Chi Empress, Zi Ji Great Emperor, Xuan Ji Fairy, Tian Huang Great Emperor, Shen Huang Great Emperor, Ji Yue Immortal, True Dragon Emperor, Golden Dragon Emperor, Dong Huang Empress, Heavenly Phoenix Empress.
“The Alliance Leader becoming an Emperor at five hundred years old truly sets a precedent for our Tian Yuan Continent!”
Xuan Tian Great Emperor said with emotion.
He was once a prodigy himself, his combat prowess amongst the strongest of the Great Emperors, but it had taken him a full thirty-six thousand five hundred years.
Zhou Chen had only used a fraction of that time.
Demon races like True Dragon Emperor and Dong Huang Empress had taken even longer, each starting at over a hundred thousand years.
Yao Chi Empress’s cultivation speed was fast, but it had still taken her fifty thousand years.
“A thousand years is but a fleeting moment, and this boy’s cultivation is about to surpass his master’s!”
Yao Chi Empress felt inexplicably flustered.
Although Zhou Chen, with his Heavenly Boat, had long become the uncrowned king of the Tian Yuan Continent, his cultivation level hadn’t surpassed hers.
Now, Zhou Chen had achieved the Dao and become an Emperor, his cultivation level had caught up to hers, and his strength was even more impressive.
Once Zhou Chen became an Emperor, even if he was just a newly ascended Emperor, his strength would definitely surpass hers, and even exceed that of any other Great Emperor on the Tian Yuan Continent.
She, as his master, would have no authority in the future.
She was afraid of being bullied.
Betraying one’s master and ancestors.
This little rascal had a history of it.
His record was full of misdeeds.
Boom!
The Path of Myriad Forms cleansed his body, condensing his Emperor Body. Although it was only the initial stage of condensation, Zhou Chen still felt his entire being filled with boundless power.
He felt his strength growing infinitely, as if he could shatter the universe with a single punch.
And this was only the initial condensation of his Emperor Body.
He had reached the peak of his life, his essence, energy, and spirit all crystal clear, full, and overflowing.
At this moment, he was like a celestial being, his entire body glowing, his flesh and blood radiantly brilliant, like a beacon from the immortal realm, illuminating the mountains and rivers, while he himself remained spotless.
A golden light shot out from his crown, piercing the heavens.
This was his Dao.
The Path of Myriad Forms.
Everyone was dazzled, witnessing scenes unfolding in the void, each scene seeming to embody a different Dao.
Rumble!
A deep rumble, like the chariot of the God of Thunder, rolled towards them. Boundless thunder light surged in the sky above.
The next moment.
A purple thunder dragon, as thick as a mountain and tens of thousands of Zhang long, condensed from the thunderclouds, descending with its teeth bared and claws extended.
The purple thunder dragon had lifelike scales and armor, its terrifying claws seeming to tear apart the stars and rivers of the universe, incredibly sharp, as if everything in its path would be shredded.
Everyone’s hearts pounded, feeling an oppressive weight on their chests, a suffocating sensation that made it difficult to breathe.
“What a terrifying tribulation!”
“Even an Invincible Emperor would be instantly reduced to dust by this tribulation, their body and Dao destroyed!”
There were many Martial Emperors and Tribulation Transcending Grand Masters present, but seeing this purple thunder dragon, they all felt a chilling fear and terror that seemed to shatter their souls.
“The Alliance Leader’s Emperor Tribulation far surpasses that of ordinary people!”
The Great Emperors sighed inwardly.
But none of them worried that Zhou Chen wouldn’t be able to overcome it.
They knew that no matter how abnormal the tribulation was, Zhou Chen was even more abnormal.
“Exhale!”
“Inhale!”
Zhou Chen exhaled, then took a deep breath.
His mouth seemed to transform into a cosmic black hole, and the purple thunder dragon, tens of thousands of Zhang thick, was sucked into his belly like a loach.
Crackle! Pop! Sizzle!
Electric arcs flickered across his body, and Zhou Chen felt a tingling sensation. His flesh, bones, and muscles all trembled as the Path of Myriad Forms and his body fused even more completely.
“Amazing!”
“I’ve long heard that the Alliance Leader loves to eat tribulation lightning, and seeing it today, it’s truly well-deserved!”
“Nonsense! The Alliance Leader loves to drink milk the most!”
“Drinking milk gives him strength, and the Alliance Leader’s divine power is unmatched!”
The experts all widened their eyes, their gazes fixed on him.
In the City of Romance, countless fairies and goddesses who had come to witness this event gazed at Zhou Chen’s imposing figure, his back to them as he swallowed the tribulation lightning, their legs tensed, their hearts blooming with admiration.
So powerful!
Rumble!
As the first tribulation lightning was devoured, the tribulation seemed to be enraged, and one terrifying bolt of lightning after another descended from the sky.
Some transformed into thunder dragons, some into qilin beasts, some into flaming phoenixes, and some into black tortoises and white tigers.
Zhou Chen punched the dragons, kicked the qilins, and tore the phoenixes apart.
Subduing dragons and tigers, carrying mountains and crossing seas, regulating Qi with nine breaths, shifting stars and exchanging constellations – all kinds of Heaven Rank Supernatural Abilities were flawlessly executed in his hands.
“Exhilarating!”
Zhou Chen fought fiercely against the tribulation lightning. Each bolt, after being shattered, was devoured by him, tempering his body and refining his Emperor Body. The more he fought, the braver and stronger he became.
His chest surged with hot blood, igniting his heroic spirit. With a loud roar, he struck out with his palm, shattering a thunder dragon in the sky.
Thunder rain poured down from the heavens, tempering his body.
Electric light surrounded him, as if he were the master of thunder.
As this wave of tribulation ended, another wave crashed down.
This time, the tribulation lightning manifested as various weapons.
A gigantic hammer, as massive as a mountain, descended towards Zhou Chen’s head.
“Get lost!”
Zhou Chen punched out, striking directly at the heart of the hammer, shattering it into a shower of thunder rain.
A spear, imbued with endless killing intent, as if it had slaughtered countless beings across the universe, suddenly thrust towards him. Zhou Chen extended his finger.
The spear shattered, and the flesh on his fingertip crumbled, exposing white bone. In the blink of an eye, new flesh and blood regenerated.
Immediately after.
A three-legged, two-eared bronze cauldron descended, suppressing all things.
“The previous divine beast tribulation was already terrifying, but I didn’t expect there would be a divine weapon tribulation!”
“Although these divine weapons are formed from tribulation lightning, they contain the Dao of countless Great Emperors from past and present, their power is truly fearsome!”
“Indeed, this cauldron seems to be the Emperor Weapon of Sheng Tian Great Emperor from the Primordial Era!”
“It is Sheng Tian Great Emperor’s Emperor Weapon. It’s said that when Sheng Tian Great Emperor ascended to godhood, this Sheng Tian Cauldron transformed into a Divine Artifact!”
Some knowledgeable Great Emperors exclaimed in shock.
Zhou Chen didn’t care who these Emperor Weapons manifested from tribulation lightning belonged to. No matter whose they were, he would shatter them all with a punch.
“Push Mountains and Fill Seas!”
Zhou Chen punched out, and even the Sheng Tian Cauldron, which suppressed all things, couldn’t withstand it, shattering into thunder rain, becoming nourishment for him.
As one divine weapon after another was shattered, this wave of tribulation dissipated.
In the sky above.
A giant vortex appeared in the thunderclouds that covered half of the Tian Yuan Continent, and then, amidst the flashing lightning, a figure of thunder emerged, wielding a long sword.
“My heavens, this is the legendary Ancient Emperor Tribulation!”
“It’s actually the Ancient Emperor Tribulation!”
The Great Emperors exclaimed in shock.
The Ancient Emperor Tribulation, as its name suggested, was where the tribulation lightning manifested as ancient Great Emperors.
Although they weren’t real ancient Great Emperors,
They still contained the Dao and principles of ancient Great Emperors, and with the enhancement of the tribulation lightning, their combat prowess wasn’t much weaker than that of true ancient Great Emperors.
This was far more terrifying than the divine beast tribulation and the divine weapon tribulation.
After all, even if one could withstand one, could they withstand nine in a row?
Under normal circumstances, each wave of tribulation consisted of nine attacks.
For the divine beast tribulation, nine divine beasts would appear in succession.
For the divine weapon tribulation, nine divine weapons would appear in succession.
Naturally, the Ancient Emperor Tribulation would manifest nine ancient Great Emperors in succession.
“What about ancient Great Emperors?”
“The waves behind drive on those before.”
“Ancient Great Emperors are all in the past. The truly remarkable figures are those of the present!”
“I’m here to fight ancient Great Emperors!”
Gazing at the thunderous ancient Great Emperor, wielding a long sword and approaching him step by step, Zhou Chen was unafraid, his figure soaring into the sky.
He clenched his empty hand, and a long sword appeared in his palm.
The Myriad Forms Divine Weapon.
By now, the Myriad Forms Divine Weapon had already transformed into a High-Grade Divine Artifact level Heaven-Opening Divine Artifact, its power unimaginably formidable.
“Swordsmanship!”
A flash of white light appeared, and the onlookers widened their eyes.
They saw the descending ancient Great Emperor, both man and sword, cleaved in two.
Then.
He transformed into thunder rain, washing over Zhou Chen’s entire body.
The next moment.
A figure appeared, crowned with a three-legged, two-eared bronze cauldron.
“It’s Sheng Tian Great Emperor!”
“It’s actually Sheng Tian Great Emperor!”
Exclamations rang out as all eyes were fixed on the sky.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Tian Great Emperor’s Emperor Weapon had appeared during the divine weapon tribulation.
Now, in this Ancient Emperor Tribulation, Sheng Tian Great Emperor himself had appeared.
“Even if you can conquer the heavens, you must still die!”
Zhou Chen transformed into a beam of sword light and charged forward. As he continued to transform and grow stronger, his blood boiled with fighting spirit.
Fight, fight, fight!!!
Fight, fight, fight!!!
Sheng Tian Great Emperor, worthy of his reputation as a renowned Great Emperor from the Primordial Era, withstood three of Zhou Chen’s sword strikes before being beheaded with a single blow, transforming into thunder rain.
Afterward, one ancient Great Emperor after another appeared.
Each one was a figure of great renown.
Most of them had ascended to godhood.
After all, the later ones were stronger.
After slaying eight ancient Great Emperors in a row, only the last one remained.
A figure descended, with three eyes and wielding a three-pointed, double-edged blade.
“Hiss!”
“It’s him!”
“My heavens, it’s actually the Three-Eyed God Emperor!”
“The Three-Eyed God Emperor is known as the most powerful Great Emperor of all time, unmatched by anyone!”
“It’s said that when he was an Invincible Emperor, he used his three-eyed divine ability to slay a Great Emperor, and after becoming an Emperor, he even achieved the feat of slaying three Great Emperors in a single battle!”
All the Great Emperors and Great Vehicle level Supreme Experts were stunned.
The Three-Eyed God Emperor – his title alone spoke volumes about his unique status.
The most powerful Great Emperor of all time.
One must know that although it wasn’t difficult to determine the stronger between Great Emperors, it was difficult for one Great Emperor to slay another.
Let alone slay three.
Although Zhou Chen had annihilated the Demon Realm, slaying over two hundred Demon Emperors, that was achieved with the power of the Heavenly Boat.
At this moment.
Even the experts who had absolute faith in Zhou Chen became apprehensive.
Because.
Legend had it that the Three-Eyed God Emperor was also the reincarnation of a Supreme Immortal God.
He was incredibly terrifying.
“The Three-Eyed God Emperor?”
Zhou Chen looked at him, feeling a slight pressure for the first time.
He was significantly stronger than the previous ones.
Especially his third eye.
It gave Zhou Chen a sense of danger.
“Kill!”
Zhou Chen was unafraid. It was just a projection of tribulation lightning.
Even if the Three-Eyed God Emperor himself were here, he wouldn’t be afraid.
Let alone a projection condensed from tribulation lightning.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Zhou Chen and the Three-Eyed God Emperor engaged in a fierce battle, exchanging billions of moves in an instant.
Buzz!
The vertical eye on the Three-Eyed God Emperor’s forehead suddenly opened. All the Great Emperors and Supreme Experts who were watching felt their minds tremble, as if they were witnessing the terrifying scene of chaos dividing, Yin and Yang separating, and the myriad things evolving.
“Concealing One’s Tracks!”
“Standing Upright Without a Shadow!”
Zhou Chen executed two Heaven Rank Supernatural Abilities in succession, instantly entering an ethereal state, without form or shadow, rendering all attacks ineffective.
A terrifying beam of light passed through his body, but it didn’t harm him.
He swung his sword, severing the figure’s head.
The Three-Eyed God Emperor immediately transformed into thunder rain, enveloping Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen bathed in the thunder rain, electric light flickering across his body. He had undergone a complete transformation. His Martial Emperor’s Law Body had fully evolved into an Emperor’s Body.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The thunderclouds slowly dispersed, and endless rays of light descended from the heavens. The myriad paths roared, and purple Qi flowed in like a tide, engulfing Zhou Chen.
He had successfully overcome the tribulation.
He had truly become a Great Emperor.
Spiritual rain poured down, and countless cultivators in the City of Romance cheered. Many even broke through on the spot, obtaining great fortune.
“Congratulations to the Alliance Leader, achieving the Dao and becoming an Emperor, may you enjoy eternal immortal blessings and an unbounded holy life!”
“Congratulations to the Alliance Leader, achieving the Dao and becoming an Emperor, may you enjoy eternal immortal blessings and an unbounded holy life!”
“Congratulations to the Alliance Leader, achieving the Dao and becoming an Emperor, may you enjoy eternal immortal blessings and an unbounded holy life!”
The cheers converged into a deafening roar, shaking the heavens and stirring the clouds.
Xuan Tian Great Emperor and the other Great Emperors came forward to offer their congratulations.
“Thank you!”
Zhou Chen looked at the stunningly beautiful Yao Chi Empress and said with a smile, “Empress Master, I’ve finally caught up to you!”
“Congratulations.”
Yao Chi Empress offered her congratulations, but sensing Zhou Chen’s intense gaze, she quickly departed after a brief exchange, almost fleeing in panic.
“Why are you running so fast? I’m not going to eat you, am I?”
Zhou Chen complained inwardly, but he really did want to eat her.
He wanted to delve deep into Empress Master’s Great Emperor Dao.
Even if the path to becoming an Emperor was rugged and treacherous, with twists and turns, storms and raging waves, he was fearless and would bravely forge ahead.
Even if he were to crash and bleed, he would never turn back!
After sending off the other Great Emperors,
Zhou Chen kept one behind.
Dong Huang Empress.
He had to celebrate his ascension to Great Emperor, right?
He wanted to have a taste of an Empress.
“Alliance Leader, what are your orders?”
Dong Huang Empress, clad in a fiery red phoenix robe, had a graceful figure, especially her ample bosom, which was incredibly full and majestic.
It made one want to bury themselves in it, to experience that intoxicating suffocation.
Her true form was a phoenix, the clan leader of the Phoenix Clan.
She was a beauty beyond compare.
Not inferior to Empress Master at all.
Especially her unique aura, the more one looked, the more extraordinary she seemed.
Her beauty was intertwined with Dao Rhyme, radiating a passionate, fiery aura that was as captivating as a volcano.
Zhou Chen gazed at her tall figure, her radiant beauty, her flawless arms, her ample bosom, her slender waist, and her long, straight legs, and said directly,
“I like you, Dong Huang Empress!”
“I want you to help me cultivate!”
