Chapter 223: I Am the Great Sovereign
Rumble!
Heaven and earth trembled, rays of light danced wildly. The entire world resembled neon lights at night, colorful and vibrant, undergoing drastic changes.
The heavens grew higher.
The earth grew thicker.
The sea grew deeper.
The mountains grew larger.
Waves surged in the vast sea, exotic flowers and herbs sprouted like bamboo shoots after the rain, and the remnants of the Demon Realm were rapidly devoured and fused, transforming into nourishment for the Tian Yuan World’s ascension.
The Great Dao and laws of the Tian Yuan World became more powerful and complete,
space became more stable.
The Tian Yuan World, which previously couldn’t accommodate immortals and gods, was now able to house some junior immortals and gods after its ascension. The entire world was turned upside down.
If the Tian Yuan World was like a lake before, then with this ascension, the lake had completely transformed, becoming a vast ocean.
In the boundless ocean, a steel Great Wall, as if forged from gold, snaked and sprawled upon the sea, stretching for countless miles.
Roar!
A deafening dragon roar resonated through heaven and earth, and the golden steel Great Wall suddenly soared into the sky, rising higher and higher.
It turned out to be a true dragon.
Moreover, it was the supreme five-clawed golden dragon among dragons.
Its golden scales shimmered brilliantly, like a shining sun, its slender body perfect and full of power.
Whoosh.
The next moment.
It transformed, turning into an incredibly beautiful woman of unparalleled charm.
Her exquisite face was as delicate as porcelain, her skin whiter and smoother than jade, emitting a faint, radiant glow.
Her azure eyes resembled two priceless sapphires, like a profound and boundless ocean, drawing one in, wanting to be buried forever in that deep sea.
Noble and dignified, like an immortal fairy.
Especially her towering peaks, reaching for the clouds, outlined a breathtaking cleavage beneath her white bodice.
She was the ruler of the Eastern Sea.
The Eastern Sea Empress.
Also known as the Eastern Sea Dragon Emperor.
Taking advantage of the Tian Yuan World’s ascension, her cultivation soared, advancing directly from the late Emperor Realm to the peak Emperor Realm, even touching upon that elusive barrier of divinity.
But achieving godhood was extremely difficult.
Her majestic and beautiful eyes looked towards the sky, where there was a true dragon even larger and more imposing than her.
The True Dragon Emperor!
“Can he become a god?”
The Eastern Sea Empress stared intently at the sky above, where thunderbolts surged like waves, and a colossal dragon, resembling a continuous mountain range, roared towards the heavens, battling the tribulation.
It was the Divine Tribulation!
Only by overcoming the Divine Tribulation could one become a god.
The Divine Tribulation was both a calamity and an opportunity.
It was the reversal of the acquired to the innate, the transformation from mortal to god, how could it not be heaven-defying? It was a thousand times more difficult than becoming an Emperor.
Like the Tian Yuan World, every era had hundreds of Emperors.
But how many could become gods?
Rumble!
Countless thunderbolts descended relentlessly, tearing the True Dragon Emperor’s flesh, his blood splattering across the sky, countless dragon scales and blood scattering.
His body was scorched black, faintly emitting the aroma of roasted dragon meat.
As a true dragon, his physical body was incredibly tough, but under this Divine Tribulation, it was still extremely difficult, with the constant threat of perishing.
This was a leap in life level.
A change in the essence of life.
Like transforming a carbon-based life form into a silicon-based one.
“Becoming a god.”
Dong Huang Nü Di’s phoenix eyes glimmered. She had also reached the bottleneck of godhood, but was still somewhat behind Xuan Tian Great Emperor and the True Dragon Emperor.
At this moment.
She was also focused on the True Dragon Emperor.
The True Dragon Emperor’s Divine Tribulation was a pioneering experience for her, an accumulation of knowledge.
Not only the Eastern Sea Empress and Dong Huang Nü Di, but also Tian Feng Nü Di, the Golden Dragon Emperor, and a host of other demon races were intently watching the True Dragon Emperor’s tribulation, their eyes filled with a mixture of envy, anticipation, nervousness, and apprehension.
Their emotions were complex, both hoping for the True Dragon Emperor to succeed and fearing his success.
Meanwhile, the human experts were focused on Xuan Tian Great Emperor’s tribulation.
At this moment.
They were the undisputed center of attention.
Even Xin Yue Hu Huang, who had achieved the Emperor Realm and become a Demon Emperor during this opportunity, received little attention.
Because there were too many experts who had become Emperors in this wave.
Almost all Martial Kings stuck at the peak of the Emperor Realm had ascended to the Great Emperor Realm.
Even those who weren’t at the peak.
Many Martial Kings in the late Emperor Realm or even the peak Emperor Realm had also become Emperors.
The number of those who had ascended to the Martial King Realm was even greater, countless.
King Realm, Law Manifestation Realm, Divine Ability Realm.
These went without saying.
Even ordinary people who didn’t practice martial arts had their bodies strengthened by the rich spiritual energy, feeling refreshed and invigorated, their constitutions greatly enhanced.
This wave.
Was a blessing for the entire world.
It was worth mentioning that the Abbess of Jingyue Convent had also successfully achieved the Emperor Realm.
She could be considered a Great Emperor truly nurtured by Zhou Chen.
Miao Yu Gong Zhu had also become an Emperor.
However, Miao Yu Gong Zhu was already a powerful Martial King when she followed Zhou Chen.
Whereas the Abbess of Jingyue Convent was just a Law Manifestation Realm entity when she first met Zhou Chen, now she had achieved the Emperor Realm.
“Roar!”
At this moment, a mournful dragon roar echoed through the nine heavens, shaking the four seas and eight desolations. Countless living beings, upon hearing it, couldn’t help but shed tears like rain.
The dragon roar was filled with sorrow, unwillingness, and anger.
The True Dragon Emperor’s colossal dragon body, resembling a continuous mountain range, had been split in two, his dragon blood cascading down from the heavens like a waterfall.
The True Dragon Emperor couldn’t overcome this tribulation.
As expected.
As the True Dragon Emperor suffered this severe injury, the subsequent, increasingly powerful thunderbolts bombarded him, leaving him with no power to resist. In the blink of an eye, he was scorched black, plummeting from the sky.
“He failed!”
“The True Dragon Emperor couldn’t overcome the Divine Tribulation!”
“Becoming a god is difficult, as difficult as ascending to the blue heavens. Throughout history, those who have become gods are all without exception heaven-gifted talents, unrivaled in their generation, sweeping through the world undefeated, suppressing all ages!”
“Although the True Dragon Emperor is powerful, he’s merely powerful. Though he touched upon the divine realm this time thanks to the great opportunity of the world’s transformation, his foundation is ultimately shallow, making it difficult to overcome!”
Countless Great Emperors, Great Vehicle experts, and supreme beings felt a pang of sympathy. Becoming an immortal and a god was too difficult.
They looked at Xuan Tian Great Emperor, who was still undergoing his tribulation.
Xuan Tian Great Emperor, with the Xuan Tian Tower above his head, was a pitiful sight. Although he had endured longer than the True Dragon Emperor, all the experts knew.
If Xuan Tian Great Emperor didn’t have some heaven-defying trump card, he definitely wouldn’t make it.
He was merely clinging to life, struggling in vain!
As expected.
Xuan Tian Great Emperor didn’t have a heaven-defying trump card. In less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, he followed in the True Dragon Emperor’s footsteps, perishing under the Divine Tribulation.
“Farewell, Xuan Tian Great Emperor, may you ascend to immortality!”
“Farewell, Xuan Tian Great Emperor, may you ascend to immortality!”
“Farewell, Xuan Tian Great Emperor, may you ascend to immortality!”
Countless cultivators bowed in unison.
A sense of sorrow filled the world.
Two exceptional Great Emperors had fallen in succession under the Divine Tribulation, pouring a bucket of cold water over all the Great Emperors and supreme beings, evoking a sense of shared grief.
They knew it wasn’t that the True Dragon Emperor and Xuan Tian Great Emperor were too weak, but that the Divine Tribulation was too difficult.
If the True Dragon Emperor and Xuan Tian Great Emperor couldn’t overcome it.
They had even less chance.
In this current era, perhaps only Zhou Chen dared to claim he could overcome the Divine Tribulation and become a god.
At this moment.
Zhou Chen’s consciousness was searching for the World Origin within the chaotic space of the Tian Yuan World’s origin.
Suddenly.
From the depths of the chaos, a dazzling light swept out, causing the entire chaotic space to tremble violently.
Chaotic light began to converge in front of Zhou Chen, then transformed into a spirit embryo about the size of a palm.
This was the World Origin.
In some places, it was also called the Plane Embryo.
“Follow me, and in the future, you will surely strengthen the Tian Yuan, making the Tian Yuan World ever more prosperous, powerful, and eternal!”
Zhou Chen’s voice gently echoed.
The spirit embryo gently approached Zhou Chen, finally landing in his hand.
As Zhou Chen held the spirit embryo in his hand, a peculiar feeling surged from the depths of his heart, as if he had become the master of this world!
It was absolute control over this world.
World Master!
Master of a world!
World Master!
At this point, those who should have broken through in the Tian Yuan World had already broken through, those who should have undergone tribulation had already undergone tribulation. The True Dragon Emperor and Xuan Tian Great Emperor had failed their Divine Tribulations.
Only the Tian Yuan World was still transforming.
And at the moment Zhou Chen grasped the World Origin, becoming the World Master.
The entire world fell silent.
Divine light radiated from Zhou Chen, illuminating every corner of the Tian Yuan World.
The Eastern Sea Empress, Tian Feng Nü Di, Yao Chi Empress, Dong Huang Nü Di, the Golden Dragon Emperor, the Nine Tribulations War Emperor, Tian Hu Nü Di.
Whether strong or weak, whether cultivator or ordinary mortal.
Whether human or demon race.
All eyes turned towards Zhou Chen in disbelief.
Zhou Chen’s figure seemed to become infinitely imposing. No matter where one stood in the Tian Yuan World, whether cultivator or ordinary mortal, they could clearly see Zhou Chen’s figure.
Zhou Chen stepped forward, and with each step he took, everyone could feel the world resonating with him.
An indescribable sense of majesty emanated from his body.
And under that peculiar majesty, everyone in the Tian Yuan World involuntarily knelt down.
That majesty was like that of a subject in the mortal world seeing their emperor.
That majesty transcended heaven and earth.
Boundless light radiated down, and Zhou Chen’s perception seemed to encompass the entire Tian Yuan World.
He saw the Azure Cloud Sect in the Great Qian Dynasty, saw Sect Master Lin Nan Tian of the Unbounded Sword Sect, saw Emperor Chu Wu Ya and Northern Liang Prince Chu Wu Shang in the imperial palace of Qian Du.
He also saw his Empress Master, Xuan Ji Xian Zi, and Zi Ji Great Emperor in the Purple Mansion Holy Land.
He saw the four seas and eight desolations.
A true sense of control surged in his heart, like the sovereign of the world. “Tian Yuan Continent, myriad races contend, I am the Great Sovereign.”
Zhou Chen, his words carrying the weight of heavenly decree, looked down upon all creation and uttered these words softly. His voice, like a giant bell, echoed in the ears of every living being in the Tian Yuan World.
“Greetings, Sovereign!”
All living beings roared in unison, countless voices converging into a vast river, booming and resonating, shaking the heavens.
At the same time, a question arose in the hearts of all experts:
“Has the Sovereign become a god!?”
They hadn’t seen Zhou Chen undergo the Divine Tribulation, but his power had already reached a level they couldn’t fathom.
Looking at Zhou Chen, they felt a sense of awe and reverence, as if gazing upon an insurmountable mountain.
He had definitely surpassed the Great Emperor Realm.
In fact, Zhou Chen was still at the peak of the Great Emperor Realm.
But he had become the World Master, the power of the Tian Yuan World at his disposal. To be his enemy was to be the enemy of the entire world.
Although he hadn’t become a god yet, with the power of the World Master, he was already no weaker than a true immortal or god.
In this Tian Yuan World.
Even ordinary immortals and gods were no match for him.
Only a supreme immortal god who could completely shatter and transcend the Tian Yuan World could defeat and kill him within this world.
“This kid has completely surpassed me. This power and majesty have completely transcended the Great Emperor Realm. Could this be godhood?”
Yao Chi Empress was now at the peak of the Great Emperor Realm, having touched upon the bottleneck of godhood. However, this bottleneck was like that thin membrane of a virgin. She had become an outsider, vaguely sensing it, but unable to touch it, let alone break through.
“The Sovereign has grown so quickly!”
Xuan Ji Xian Zi sighed with emotion. She had heard about the conflict between Zhou Chen and her disciple. Fortunately, she hadn’t offended Zhou Chen because of it.
As for her disciple, she had died during her tribulation due to her heart demon, and her mother had been devoured by demons during the war between the two worlds, leaving no trace behind.
“Such a powerful feeling, truly mesmerizing and intoxicating!”
Zhou Chen savored this sense of control as the World Master. With a single thought, he could shift mountains and rivers, reverse the flow of the sea.
This feeling was truly wonderful.
Even more captivating than the first time he had thoroughly enjoyed his beautiful master.

“Ten trillion to become a god!”
Zhou Chen was filled with anticipation. Although this number was huge, it wasn’t much to him.
Now, the Tian Yuan World was like his backyard.
He could practically have his pick of the Empresses.
His rate of earning Romance Points would surely increase significantly.
Even if he calculated based on 20 billion per day, it would only take 1,300 years.
To him now.
A thousand years was just a snap of his fingers.
Zhou Chen restrained his aura and returned to the City Lord’s Residence.
Xiao Bai, Xin Yue Hu Di who had just ascended to the Great Emperor Realm, Miao Yu Gong Zhu, Lady Red Powder, Shui Yun Xian Zi, the Abbess of Jingyue Convent, Yao Mei Mo Di, Xue Mei Mo Di, Huangfu Yue Yao, Qing Yu Yao, Jian Xiong, Qin Hong Yu, Li Chang Hen, Shi Qing Xuan, Tian Xiang Xian Zi, and a host of other women all stepped forward, their faces beaming with smiles.
“Congratulations, Sovereign, may you enjoy eternal immortal blessings and an unbounded holy life!”
“Congratulations to us all!”
Zhou Chen’s gaze swept over them, taking in the sight of these stunning beauties, each with their own unique charm and temperament. His mood was excellent.
Everyone present had made remarkable progress.
Xin Yue Hu Di, Miao Yu Gong Zhu, and the Abbess of Jingyue Convent had all become Great Emperors this time.
“Let’s celebrate together today and have some fun!”
Zhou Chen smiled, his appetite piqued.
The women’s cheeks flushed, their eyes shy. They all knew what Zhou Chen meant by having fun.
Xin Yue Hu Di’s ample bosom trembled, her heart pounding. All the other women here were already Zhou Chen’s.
Only she wasn’t.
She was here to see Xiao Bai.
Should she leave or stay?
Just as Xin Yue Hu Di was caught in this dilemma, a strong arm wrapped around her slender waist, pulling her into an embrace.
A strong, masculine scent enveloped her, and Xin Yue Hu Di’s body stiffened. She looked up.
Their eyes met.
Zhou Chen smiled slightly: “Xin Yue Hu Di has come from afar, why don’t you go first? Would you like to share immortal blessings with me?”
Although Xin Yue Hu Di couldn’t say she loved Zhou Chen, at their level, there wasn’t much passionate love.
Love was bullshit.
But she didn’t dislike Zhou Chen, and besides, could she refuse?
What if she refused and Zhou Chen secretly made things difficult for her?
Moreover, there were clearly many benefits to following Zhou Chen.
Unwritten rules existed everywhere.
“It would be my honor to share immortal blessings with the Sovereign!”
Xin Yue Hu Di smiled sweetly, like a hundred flowers blooming, her beauty captivating. Her invisible charm seemed to dim the world around her.
Having ascended to the Great Emperor Realm, she naturally became a nine-tailed heavenly fox.
Her charm was unimaginable.
“Good!”
Zhou Chen laughed heartily, scooped Xin Yue Hu Di into his arms, and strode towards his room.
After all, it was their first time.
He naturally couldn’t let everyone watch.
“Vixen!”
The other women cursed inwardly as they watched Zhou Chen carry Xin Yue Hu Di away.
“You scoundrel! You hateful scoundrel, I’ll bite you to death.”
Xiao Bai bared her teeth. Wasn’t she prettier than her aunt?
Maybe not.
Wasn’t she cuter than her aunt?
Cuteness was worthless in the face of sex appeal.
Chen Yue Palace.
Inside the palace, filled with a peculiar floral fragrance, Zhou Chen carried Xin Yue Hu Di into the inner chamber and placed her on the jade bed.
This was Zhou Chen’s bedchamber.
Chen Yue Palace.
As the name suggested, it was where Zhou Chen slept happily.
Xin Yue Hu Di’s beautiful eyes were filled with shyness as she curiously surveyed the room. She saw rows of strange and wonderful divine weapons on the wall beside the jade bed.
They were bizarre and came in all shapes and sizes.
Each with a unique form.
However, most of them seemed to be crafted from crystal-clear jade, lifelike and exuding a murderous aura.
Xin Yue Hu Di had already heard from Xiao Bai that Zhou Chen was a divine weapon enthusiast, personally crafting each one, never relying on others.
Seeing them today, the sheer number and variety were astounding.
She couldn’t help but clench her legs.
Zhou Chen looked at Xin Yue Hu Di’s stunning figure. A snow-white fox fur coat hugged her body like a tight dress, perfectly outlining her voluptuous curves.
Her towering peaks, her slender waist, her full, round buttocks, all exuded an irresistible allure.
“Sovereign.”
As if embarrassed by Zhou Chen’s intense gaze, Xin Yue Hu Di shyly lowered her head, her soft and gentle voice flowing like a clear spring.
A faint, feminine fragrance lingered in the air, refreshing and captivating. Zhou Chen felt a surge of heat.
The next moment.
Zhou Chen suddenly reached out and, to Xin Yue Hu Di’s surprise, even somewhat roughly, parted the beautiful and shapely legs of this Qing Qiu Female Monarch.
Zhou Chen’s eyes instantly lit up.
He hadn’t expected this Qing Qiu Female Monarch to be…
“Uh…”
Xin Yue Hu Di was extremely shy. Feeling his burning gaze, it was like a sharp sword piercing her heart, making her feel incredibly embarrassed.
“Sovereign, don’t look…”
Xin Yue Hu Di spoke in a trembling voice, but she puffed out her ample chest and tilted her head back, clearly playing hard to get.
She was indeed worthy of being the Qing Qiu Female Monarch.
Much smarter than that silly fox Xiao Bai.
Even without experience.
She was a natural-born seductress.
Men are like that. If you let them look closely, they might lose interest quickly, but if you don’t let them look, they want to even more.
Looking at Xin Yue Hu Di’s appearance, Zhou Chen immediately recited a poem.
Xin Yue Hu Di became even more shy. She was a white fox, and although her hair was black now, she still had white fur on her body, and Zhou Chen had seen it all.
“The Qing Qiu Fox Clan truly lives up to its reputation.”
Xin Yue Hu Di was surprised.
“Xiao Bai, the Qing Qiu Female Monarch, and now only Tian Hu Nü Di is missing…”
Zhou Chen was full of anticipation for Tian Hu Nü Di.
If they were together…
How many times more enjoyable would it be?
“Sovereign, please stop!”
Soon, Xin Yue Hu Di’s voice trembled as she felt a strange physical reaction.
She suddenly realized it was bad.
But it was too late.
“It’s fine!”
“The Sovereign is just teasing me.”
Xin Yue Hu Di didn’t dare to look Zhou Chen in the eye.
“Alright, let the true cultivation begin!”
Xin Yue Hu Di was both surprised and frightened. She had seen the True Dragon Emperor’s true form undergoing tribulation, his dragon body stretching for countless miles.
But now she realized Zhou Chen’s was even more terrifying.
“Sovereign, have mercy.”
