340: The Most Powerful Emperor

Ji Ping'an's heart relaxed; he had passed the trial, and the end of his Cultivation path in this life would be even more distant.

"Congratulations!" The Cultivators of the Desolate Wilds Domain gathered around, offering their congratulations.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoists. On the path of the Great Dao, let us strive together," Ji Ping'an said, cupping his hands.

Even with the dire situation, the Ji Family held a Dao Proclamation Ceremony for Ji Ping'an, as the advancement of the younger generation was needed to inspire everyone.

After the Dao Proclamation Ceremony, everyone continued to immerse themselves in Cultivation.

Time flowed on once more. From time to time, Dao Proclamation aura would appear over the sea. Those Old Ancestors who were once at or above Quasi-Emperor Seventh Heaven began to proclaim their Dao one after another. Some succeeded, some failed, and the Cultivators of the Desolate Wilds Domain successively gained thirteen Great Emperors.

Motivation only comes under pressure; either one gives up under pressure, or one shines under pressure.

As for Quasi-Emperors, even more of them advanced. The Cultivators of the Desolate Wilds Domain had already gained over a hundred Quasi-Emperors, but this was still too few for the Evil God Clan. To deal with the Evil God Clan, the only way to break the deadlock was with powerhouses above the Heavenly Emperor Realm.

And for the Evil God Clan, breaking the deadlock also required Immortals. If Immortals spent time carefully exploring the Immortal Realm, the Cultivators of the Three Regions would have nowhere to hide.

Therefore, a blade hung over the heads of the Cultivators of the Three Regions, as no one knew when an Immortal from the Evil God Clan would appear.

After all, they were originally the Ancient God Clan. According to records, their God Lord was at the Red Dust Immortal Realm, and God Kings were above the Red Dust Immortal Realm, and they even had God Emperors.

In the Ancient Mystic Realm, there were eight God King tombstones. Previously, everyone thought they had completely died, but now it seemed that might not be the case. If they also transformed into undead, even one appearing could annihilate the Cultivators of the Three Regions.

In truth, the Cultivators of the Three Regions didn't know that transforming into an undead required a price, and that price was a one-rank decrease in Realm. Their current Heavenly Emperors were the former God Lords.

As for the current state of those God Kings and God Emperors, only these Evil God Heavenly Emperors knew.

Time flowed on, and Ji Yi's seclusion had reached a critical stage. Now, all of his Great Dao Laws had met the standards of a Great Emperor.

If not now, when would he proclaim his Dao?

The aura of Heavenly Tribulation spread out, extending for tens of thousands of miles. A Heaven-Defying Cultivator had appeared, and the supreme heavenly dao felt threatened.

"Ji Yi is finally proclaiming his Dao!" This aura was too astonishing, alarming all Cultivators of the Desolate Wilds Domain. The Three Ancestors' eyes showed both anticipation and worry. This Heavenly Tribulation aura was truly too astonishing, already comparable to the Heavenly Tribulation aura when he ascended to Heavenly Emperor back then.

Everyone else's feelings were the same at this moment, filled with both anticipation and worry.

Ji Yi's figure appeared in the sky, looking at the Lightning Tribulation above. He was fearless and unafraid. He had never doubted that he would fail to pass the Lightning Tribulation; he was someone who was going to break the Three Realms and return to Earth.

"Today, I, Ji Yi, proclaim my Dao, the Dao of the Lord of Creation! I control heaven and earth, transcend the universe, and am the Lord of Heaven and Earth!" Ji Yi looked up at the sky, his expression calm as he uttered words that shocked heaven and earth. This was a provocation to the supreme heavenly dao.

"This... isn't the Dao Proclamation Vow too grand?"

"Yes, this is provoking the supreme heavenly dao!"

"Cultivation should not be overly ambitious!"

Hearing Ji Yi's words, everyone was shocked. To put it bluntly, this was courting death, even more serious than giving the Heavenly Dao the middle finger.

"I believe in Brother Ji," Ji Ziyan said. Since Ji Yi dared to make such a grand vow, he would surely be able to achieve it.

"Let's wait and see. Ji Yi won't disappoint us. He is the most Prodigy Cultivator in Desolate from ancient times until now," the Three Ancestors comforted them. Everything would soon have a result.

The aura of Heavenly Tribulation grew denser, but no Lightning Tribulation descended for a long time. The Lightning Tribulation was accumulating, or perhaps the supreme heavenly dao was contemplating how to destroy this rebellious Cultivator.

After a full fifteen minutes, the thunderclouds finally stirred. At this point, the thunderclouds had covered an area of fifty million miles, even more exaggerated than a Heavenly Emperor Tribulation.

No lightning struck down, and the thunderclouds also continuously disappeared, restoring a clear sky. This development left people bewildered. Could it be that Ji Yi had a connection with the supreme heavenly dao and took a shortcut?

But they quickly realized that this was not the case. A vast River of Time and Space appeared and was continuously flowing backward. Then, a figure walked out from the River of Time and Space.

"That's, Ancestral Master!" The fatty exclaimed, losing his voice. This person was none other than Sword Venerable. Of course, it wasn't the true Sword Venerable, but Sword Venerable's imprint in the River of Time and Space.

"What's going on? Why did Sword Venerable's imprint appear?" Everyone was even more confused.

But no one knew the answer. The River of Time and Space continued to flow backward, and another figure walked out. The aura of 'Above Heaven and Earth, I alone am Supreme' pressed down on everyone, making them gasp for breath.

"Emperor Venerable!" Everyone cried out in surprise. They had seen Emperor Venerable's statue and recognized him.

Then another figure walked out. He was the Human Race's Supreme Emperor, the Human Race's Supreme, the Human Emperor—Ji Xia.

"Old Ancestor!" The Ji Family members didn't expect to see the imprint left by their Old Ancestor at this moment, and tears immediately welled up in their eyes.

Next, a slender figure with fiery red hair appeared, wearing a fiery red robe, just like the master of the Great Dao of Fire.

"Father," Phoenix Royal Sky murmured. This demon was precisely the Undying Demon Emperor.

"Awoo..." A Dragon's roar shook the world. A thousand-mile True Dragon swam out from the River of Time and Space, transforming into a majestic middle-aged man.

"Old Ancestor!" The True Dragon Clan exclaimed excitedly. This was precisely the Old Ancestor of the True Dragon Clan, the first True Dragon of Desolate.

The River of Time and Space faded, and the gazes of the five figures first looked at the people beside them. Their expressions changed slightly, and they nodded, as if greeting them.

"The Old Ancestors greeted us!"

"The Old Ancestors must still be alive in the Immortal Realm!" Everyone exclaimed excitedly.

The five figures said no more, erupting with Great Emperor fluctuations, and collectively attacked Ji Yi. Their imprints were driven by the supreme heavenly dao. Although they wanted to communicate with their descendants, it was currently difficult to do so.

Especially the Undying Demon Emperor, his son was still here. Although so many years had passed, he only had Phoenix Royal Sky as his sole offspring.

"Five of Desolate's strongest Great Emperors attacking together, Ji Yi is in danger!"

"How could this be? This is Desolate's hope, Old Ancestors!"

"Old Ancestors, stop! They're our own people!" The Desolate Cultivators shouted, hoping the five of them would stop.

But it was clearly impossible. The supreme heavenly dao was not something they could defy. Not even Heavenly Venerables could, let alone them.

Ji Yi's expression remained unchanged. Even with the combined attack of the five strongest Great Emperors in Desolate from ancient times until now, he was completely fearless.

Sword Venerable drew his sword, and a Sword Qi composed of 126,900 Sword Dao Divine Abilities pierced forth. Time and space seemed to be reversed; time and space had lost their meaning before this sword. Even if you were in the distant primordial era or the far-off future, this sword could transcend time and space to destroy you.
