247: Emperor realm!

Taiyi, though one, represents infinite possibilities and myriad changes.

The Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things.

This is very similar to One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.

"I wonder if One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones can be elevated to a Source-level battle technique again after the system upgrade."

Thinking of this, Lin Chen's eyes lit up.

If he can give birth to all things from Three, then he will gain countless clones!

"I'll try it later."

Suppressing his curiosity, Lin Chen continued to study the Taiyi Great Dao deduced by the system.

Through the nine branch laws, Lin Chen discovered that the Taiyi Great Dao was indeed a fusion of the 27 Great Daos he had comprehended.

Each branch law, if taken out individually, could probably form a top-tier Great Dao!

If others knew this, they would probably be shocked... "Indeed, anything from the system is a masterpiece."

"Let's see how many Energy Points it takes to comprehend."

Lin Chen now only needed to create the embryonic form of a completely new Great Dao to break through to the Emperor Realm.

That is, comprehending 1% would suffice.

Then, with a thought, he intended to increase the comprehension of the Taiyi Great Dao by 1%.

"Elevate!"

Boom—

An incomparably vast torrent of memories surged into Lin Chen's mind. The amount of information was too immense, and the memories contained countless Great Dao profound mysteries.

As Lin Chen comprehended the Taiyi Great Dao, strange phenomena began to appear in the heavens and earth in his vicinity.

Countless lights of Great Dao profound mysteries enveloped the entire giant mountain.

Fortunately, with Lin Chen's breakthrough, the range of the time wheel's field had already reached a diameter of over a thousand kilometers.

The immense torrent of memories in his mind continued to pour in.

Lin Chen felt his head slightly swell. His Four-Step Emperor Realm level thought speed could barely endure it.

This filled Lin Chen with immense awe.

One must know, this was only 1% comprehension of the Taiyi Great Dao!

Lin Chen spent 20 years comprehending this 1% of the Taiyi Great Dao...

On this day, Lin Chen extended a finger.

A silver-white light cluster, the size of a fingernail, slowly condensed at his fingertip.

Terrifying auras emanated from the light cluster, and the void itself could not withstand this power, showing faint cracks.

"So strong!"

"I feel that this wisp of Taiyi Great Dao power is comparable to the World-Destroying Blade's power!"

Lin Chen was inwardly astonished; this light cluster was less than one ten-thousandth of the Taiyi Great Dao power he commanded!

At this moment, Lin Chen became even more convinced that the Taiyi Great Dao's level must be a Great Dao stronger than even top-tier Great Daos!

"I wonder if Old Lei knows about this level of Great Dao..."

Withdrawing his thoughts, Lin Chen looked at the system panel.

Energy Points: 15,280 stones

"How much?!"

Lin Chen's expression instantly froze.

If he remembered correctly, his previous Energy Points were 25,280 stones.

It only increased by 1%, yet it consumed 10,000 Energy Points!

He had obtained those 10,000 Energy Points from the corpses of millions of Dao Realm cultivators!

This sudden expenditure caused a significant drain on Lin Chen's previously abundant resources.

However, after recovering, Lin Chen gradually accepted it.

As an ultimate-level Great Dao, the Taiyi Great Dao was likely unprecedented.

Even with his system, it took such a long time to finally deduce it.

Moreover, each of the nine branch laws was extremely abnormal.

Lin Chen felt that he might even be able to extract those individual branch laws later and create nine more top-tier Great Daos...

But that was for later.

Currently, Lin Chen's most important task was to break through to the Emperor Realm cultivation!

Fortunately, breaking through to the Emperor Realm only required 500 Energy Points.

Breakthrough!

Immediately, Lin Chen's colorful Emperor Seal flew out, suspended in mid-air.

Then, a silver-white pillar of light surged into it.

That silver-white pillar of light was the 1% of the Taiyi Great Dao that Lin Chen had comprehended.

A self-created Great Dao could only continue to improve by using the Emperor Seal as its vessel.

Then, the colorful Emperor Seal flashed and entered Lin Chen's Inner World, directly reaching the core of the world.

And the 28 Great Dao light sources that were originally in Lin Chen's Inner World had all disappeared, leaving only an Emperor Seal radiating endless brilliance.

From now on, the Taiyi Great Dao created by Lin Chen would be the Source Great Dao that allowed his Inner World to operate normally.

And the Inner World would serve as the power source for the Taiyi Great Dao!

The two complemented each other.

Boom—

The Inner World had not changed since reaching the Dao Realm Ninth Level.

At this moment, due to the Emperor Seal and the Taiyi Great Dao, it once again began to transform.

This transformation was unprecedented!

One reason was breaking through to the Emperor Realm, which naturally brought a huge transformation to the Inner World.

Another reason was that the Taiyi Great Dao was too powerful...

As the Taiyi Great Dao gradually integrated into the Inner World, the Inner World's scope began to expand rapidly.

The Inner World was like receiving the best nourishment; with each passing second, its diameter could expand by hundreds of millions of kilometers!

As the Inner World expanded, the World Power also strengthened accordingly.

According to Lin Chen's understanding, a One-Step Emperor Realm's Inner World could at most reach a diameter of 100,000 light-years.

That is the size of a medium-sized world's main world.

However, Lin Chen's Inner World had already exceeded this limit.

It had now reached a diameter of 500,000 light-years and was still rapidly expanding.

600,000 light-years...

800,000 light-years...

1,000,000 light-years!

The Inner World finally settled at a diameter of one million light-years, which is the size of a Great World's main world!

Buzz—

The Taiyi Great Dao perfectly integrated into the Inner World, and then began to evolve the power of rules.

The evolved rules were incomparably complete, Lin Chen's Inner World became more and more stable, and the spiritual energy became more and more concentrated...

The entire Inner World's transformation lasted for two years before ending.

At this time, Lin Chen's realm finally reached the One-Step Emperor Realm!

The reason it is called a 'step' is that it refers to groping in the dark and finally taking the most crucial step.

Next, the cultivation of the Emperor Realm would involve continuously perfecting and comprehending one's self-created Great Dao.

Until complete comprehension!

The foundation of this Taiyi Great Dao was too profound, so the relative consumption would also be terrifying.

Lin Chen didn't think much of it; as his strength increased, it would naturally be easier to acquire Energy Points.

For example, the empires in the Endless Realm were all his backup Energy Points...

And this Black Pagoda trial had only just begun!

Lin Chen had a premonition that by the end of this Black Pagoda trial, his true combat power would exceed his imagination!

He was going to give those empires a huge surprise!

A hint of killing intent flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.

"Energy Points are still sufficient; continue to upgrade my true spirit and Golden Body!"

Upgrading the true spirit required 5,000 stones, and upgrading the Golden Body required 1,200 stones.

This time, the Golden Body would also break through a major watershed.

Lin Chen looked forward to it.

After breaking through to the Emperor Realm, his development of the trial time wheel improved further.

The trial time wheel could be used for 20 days, and the time acceleration multiple reached 10,000 times!

"Breakthrough!"

Boom—

His true spirit and Physical Strength once again surged...

Time passed quickly in seclusion, and soon 80 years had gone by.

true spirit: Five-Step Emperor Realm + (Consumed 10,000 stones to advance)

Golden Body: Imperial Rank Fourth Forging + (Consumed 6,000 stones to advance)

Energy Points: 9,080 stones

(Physical body comparable to a Fourth-Grade Emperor Artifact, capable of fighting a Four-Step Emperor Realm)

"The energy consumption has reached this level; each advancement has increased by 5 times."

"The Golden Body can still be upgraded one more time."

Lin Chen's expression was excited.

His improvement during this seclusion was immense!

"Continue!"

Instantly, 6,000 Energy Points were consumed.

Lin Chen's true spirit power was always one realm higher, so he could easily endure this Golden Body advancement as well...

Another hundred years passed.

On this day.

On the peak of a giant mountain on the first floor of the Black Pagoda.

Lin Chen suddenly opened his eyes, a trace of time flashing in his pupils.

The golden light on his body gradually faded.

After a hundred years, he finally reached the Imperial Rank Fifth Forging Golden Body!

Now, Lin Chen's true spirit and Golden Body realms were synchronized.

"Next, it's time to go out and see..."
