89: You must never open the Emperor Road!
Qingqiu Realm, Immortal Spring.
A lush green land.
In the sky, a pure and transparent spring formed a giant water ball, sparkling and bringing endless Life Qi.
The Spiritual Qi floating in the air had completely liquefied, making this green Secret Realm feel as if it were underwater.
Three Martial Emperors with different hair colors sat cross-legged in different directions, their palms facing upwards, and various treasures continuously floated from in front of them into the spring water ball in the sky.
Vaguely, human-shaped outlines could be seen appearing on the spring water ball.
They were spending an enormous price to reshape their Clones!
At this very moment, the treasures thrown into the Immortal Spring every minute could Cultivate a Saint King from scratch.
However.
Just as one Clone was about to be completely reshaped.
In the azure sky, streaks of ink-black Qi mist descended, falling directly onto the heads of the Martial Emperors in the three directions.
The faces of the three Martial Emperor Clones simultaneously turned pale, their glabella darkening.
Splash.
After a crisp sound, the Clone that was about to condense suddenly exploded.
The green-haired Martial Emperor looked up with a gloomy expression: “How could this happen? This Emperor has reshaped Clones so many times, and this is the first time a reshaping has failed.”
The cost of reshaping a Clone was simply too great.
One failure resulted in extremely heavy losses!
The golden-haired Martial Emperor in another direction let out a cold snort: “It’s Luck! Our Luck is plummeting! What happened?”
Upon hearing this, the green-haired Martial Emperor’s face immediately changed drastically. He also sensed that his own Luck had dropped to an extremely dangerous level. He muttered in disbelief: “How could this be? Since this Emperor began Cultivating again, my Luck has always been excellent. Why is my Luck decreasing so rapidly? Could it be that the power of that Immortal-Rank Scroll has not yet dissipated?”
As an Immortal who underwent Possession and re-Cultivated, he was very clear about the influence of Luck on his own Cultivation.
That was why, in this life, he had spent so much effort conquering and unifying the Heavenly Demon Realm, and had also established countless Martial Emperor Shrines in various Great Realms, thereby drawing the Luck of all living beings to achieve a continuous effect.
Even when he was cursed by that Immortal-Rank Scroll a few days ago, causing his Luck to plummet, the continuous flow of Luck from the living beings of the Heavenly Demon Realm nourished him, allowing him to maintain abundant Luck.
But now, his Luck suddenly dropped, and even the reshaping of his Clone failed.
What did this indicate?
His Luck had already hit rock bottom, affecting his normal life.
The green-haired Martial Emperor inexplicably felt a bad premonition.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the purple-haired Martial Emperor’s face changed drastically. He exclaimed in horror: “Quickly check the Heavenly Demon Realm.”
Check the Heavenly Demon Realm?
Look where?
The Heavenly Demon Realm was not small; the scope was a bit too broad.
Even so, the green-haired and golden-haired Martial Emperors immediately used their crippled Infinite Divine Thought to randomly scan any part of the Heavenly Demon Realm.
Ten minutes later.
Bang!
A loud bang!
In front of the golden-haired Martial Emperor, a terrifying abyssal black hole appeared. He angrily punched through space!
“How outrageous! I was wondering why that Clone had not arrived yet. I didn’t expect it to be played like a clown, being spun around in circles.”
His face was icy cold, so angry that smoke seemed to come out of his seven orifices!
No wonder his Luck plummeted. In order to better establish a supreme image among the countless Yao Race in the Heavenly Demon Realm and better absorb their Luck, he had spent countless efforts just on packaging himself in the Heavenly Demon Realm.
Now it was over.
Hundreds of years of effort were all in vain. All of the Heavenly Demon Realm had seen their Clone groveling and calling someone “Daddy,” and the embarrassing scene of him being beaten by Luo Hanyan with his butt sticking out!
Once these images were released, from today onwards, the Martial Emperor would be the laughingstock of the Heavenly Demon Realm. It would be extremely difficult to re-establish his prestige!
“That idiot, how could he be so stupid!”
The purple-haired Martial Emperor was also trembling with anger. His finger trembled as he pointed at the other two Martial Emperors: “This was a scheme by that guy named Chu. What a clever trick. That idiotic woman Luo Hanyan must also know our plan.”
The more he spoke, the uglier his face became: “This is big trouble now. Luo Hanyan’s oath hasn’t been severed yet, and she still knows the location of the Immortal Spring. If she comes knocking, we might very well be wiped out. We need to think of a solution.”
The golden-haired Martial Emperor angrily said: “Think of what solution? We were too careless. One wrong step leads to many wrong steps. That guy named Chu definitely has a strong foundation. Trying to suppress him in a short time now would require too great a price. What else can we do besides escaping the Heavenly Demon Realm?”
As soon as he said this, the other two Martial Emperors fell silent.
These days had been like a nightmare.
First, they were left in a mess by an Immortal-Rank Scroll, losing one Clone.
Then, when they dispatched a large army to attack the Xuan Realm, not only did they fall into an ambush and lose two Clones, but their old lair, Martial Emperor City, was also raided, resulting in the loss of another Clone.
Now, it was even more absurd!
That guy named Chu discovered the secret between Luo Hanyan and them, and then schemed against another Clone, forcing him to make a fool of himself, and even being watched by the entire Heavenly Demon Realm, causing his Luck to plummet.
At first, they didn’t take this great menace, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, seriously.
But how many days had passed?
In a flash, let alone their old home, even all their Clones were about to be wiped out.
At this point, no matter how proud or how contemptuous the Martial Emperor was of Chu Feng, he finally woke up to the fact that he was cornered.
If they couldn’t break free now, only death awaited them.
The three Martial Emperor Clones remained silent for a long time.
Finally, the green-haired Martial Emperor spoke with a faint sigh: “I am 100% confident I can kill that guy, but we must abandon the Nine Revolutions Emperor Attainment Method.”
The golden-haired Martial Emperor immediately rejected: “Absolutely not!”
“This is our destined Dao, we cannot give it up!”
“I warn you, don’t mess around.”
He glared at the green-haired Martial Emperor, his eyes filled with killing intent!
The Martial Emperor’s foundation was far stronger than imagined.
Before his Possession, he was a True Immortal, but not an ordinary True Immortal. He was a peerless Prodigy, someone with the potential to become an Immortal King in the future.
The reason he fell to the point of being Possessed was because he was exploring an ancient ruin. At first, he thought it was just an ordinary Immortal Lord ruin, but only at the very end did the Martial Emperor discover that it was an Immortal Emperor's Tomb!
The Nine Revolutions Emperor Attainment Method.
This was a treasure hidden within this Immortal Emperor's Tomb. That Immortal Emperor had reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao Domain through this miraculous method!
After obtaining the Nine Revolutions Emperor Attainment Method, the Martial Emperor was ecstatic, but unexpectedly triggered a Secret Realm trap, destroying his Physical Body and even teleporting his Primordial Spirit to the Lower Realm.
Immediately after, he was incredibly lucky to undergo Possession of the young Heavenly Roc who was out Cultivating.
A perfect Emperor Proving Method, a perfect Physique.
At that time, the Martial Emperor did not think he was unlucky; instead, he believed it was the will of Heaven for him to re-Cultivate.
Once he proved himself a Nine Revolutions Great Emperor and returned to the Immortal Realm, a Heavenly Dao leading to the Immortal Emperor would unfold, and even the high and mighty Immortal Kings would bow to him.
That scene, just thinking about it was incredibly exciting!
And it was the scene the Martial Emperor most anticipated!
But now, the green-haired Martial Emperor pointed out the cruel truth: if they continued to insist on the Nine Revolutions Emperor Attainment Method, they might not even survive.
“Do we still have a choice?”
“At least two Clones are currently captured by that guy named Chu. He’s very clever; he doesn’t kill the Clones, so at most, we can only reshape six.”
“That idiotic woman, Luo Hanyan, alone knows too many secrets, leaving us tied up.”
“We must embark on the Emperor Road.”
“Only by stepping onto the Emperor Road can we break free from the Heavenly Dao Great Oath. Once we prove our Dao and become Emperor, even if it’s just the Early Stage of a Great Emperor, we can still use some Immortal Path methods from before our Possession, with combat power comparable to a Mortal World Immortal.”
“Killing that guy named Chu will be as simple as slaughtering a chicken.”
Listening to the green-haired Martial Emperor’s words, the golden-haired Martial Emperor still coldly refused: “I disagree. If we abandon the Nine Revolutions Emperor Attainment Method, this Emperor would rather commit suicide.”
“If you don’t commit suicide, that guy named Chu will still come knocking. When he arrives, our Clones won’t even have been successfully refined, and then we’ll all be wiped out.”
“Absolutely not.”
Watching the two Clones confronting each other, the purple-haired Martial Emperor struggled for a long time before slowly saying: “Let’s sacrifice the Furnace of Everything. Use the Furnace of Everything and the Reincarnation Heavenly Flame as the main Materials for the Clones, and then nourish them with Immortal Spring water. In a short time, we can definitely create three more Clones.”
“Six bodies merging into one will also possess the combat power of a Peak Great Emperor. Coupled with some highly consumptive Celestial Rank secret techniques, some attacks can reach the realm of a Mortal World Immortal. It shouldn’t be a problem. Plus, with my past combat experience, I will definitely teach him a lesson!”
The purple-haired Martial Emperor ultimately did not advocate for summoning the Emperor Road, concluding: “This Emperor Road must wait until we achieve the Nine Revolutions Emperor Proving before being summoned.”
The green-haired Martial Emperor and the golden-haired Martial Emperor fell silent, pondering upon hearing this.
This was, without a doubt, a compromise.
It seemed perfect, but in reality, it wasn’t at all.
The Furnace of Everything and the Reincarnation Heavenly Flame were both existences close to the Celestial Rank.
Sacrificing these two supreme treasures meant that at least five hundred years of time had been wasted.
But this was already the best solution.
The three Martial Emperors reached a consensus, offering up the Furnace of Everything and the Reincarnation Heavenly Flame, their hearts aching greatly!
...
Ten Thousand Demon Tower.
“You just wait! You just wait for this Emperor! This Emperor will summon the Emperor Road, prove himself a Great Emperor, and suppress you two adulterers into a cesspit for ten thousand years!!”
The Martial Emperor, whose butt had been beaten, awoke from his coma, now bound by purple Qi chains, forming a cocoon.
The humiliating scene from earlier replayed in his mind, and the thought that the entire Heavenly Demon Realm had witnessed his disgraceful state completely broke him.
He couldn't withstand the stimulation, howling and yelling, dizzy with rage.
“Still talking tough?”
Kui Niu Emperor and Luo Hanyan watched in shock as Chu Feng’s hand flashed, producing a rectangular iron book.
Slap!
Slap! Slap!
...
The emperor road adjudication book, like a brick, was slapped onto the Martial Emperor’s face by Chu Feng.
The cold iron book made the Martial Emperor’s face burn!
The damage was minor, but the humiliation was extreme!
“You want to summon the Emperor Road, do you!? Summon it!”
Chu Feng’s eyes lit up as he urged.
Slap!!
The white-haired Martial Emperor’s face was slapped into a pig’s head: “You... just wait!”
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Chu Feng’s emperor road adjudication book even sparked: “Quickly summon it for your daddy to see, you’re so capable!”
“Summon it now!”
The white-haired Martial Emperor lost his mind from being beaten, his hair standing on end in fury!
His body erupted with boundless power, stirring the firmament, and he roared: “Emperor Road — Open!”
The Martial Emperors, who had just finished their discussion at the Immortal Spring, suddenly froze.
They felt as if their bodies were exploding!
Their power was rising steadily!
It was the thrill of a Breakthrough!
But the faces of these three Martial Emperor Clones changed drastically. They desperately tried to suppress it, but to no effect!
The biggest drawback of the Clone method was exposed without a doubt!
Each Clone had its own thoughts, making it easy to perform extreme actions that affected the other Clones!
“Damn you!”
Watching a magnificent, colossal silver river appear in the Heavenly Demon Realm, spanning several worlds from the Universe.
Below the Immortal Spring, the beautiful Heavenly Demon language of the three Martial Emperors resounded in unison.
