142: Finally became the Divine Emperor

Zhengyang Holy Domain, Sunset Ancient Sect!

Inside a sacred hall!

"A million years! I can't believe there's a Martial Artist who can defeat my God-Emperor Seal on his first ascent of the Heavenly Dao Stele."

In the main seat, an ancient being exuding a powerful Aura muttered to himself.

"Old Ancestor, do you need this Disciple to act and bring that person here?"

Below, several powerful Half-Saints looked at the ancient being above with respectful expressions.

"It's just an empty title!" The ancient being waved his hand, "Such a Prodigy can only be a friend, not an enemy!"

"Prepare a generous gift on my behalf. If that person has a Sect, then go and forge a connection; if not, and he is willing to join our Sect, then grant him the position of Divine Son."

This ancient being was the twenty-first ranked expert on the Heavenly Dao Stele, named Xian Chenzi, and also one of the most ancient existences in the Sunset Ancient Sect.

Although he was in the Supreme God Emperor Realm, many Saints of the Sunset Ancient Sect, and even those above them, were his Juniors and had received Xian Chenzi's guidance.

Therefore, Xian Chenzi's status in the Sunset Ancient Sect was extremely high.

"What? Divine Son?"

"Old Ancestor, won't this be a bit too much? Those in the Sect might have objections?"

Upon hearing this, several Half-Saints quickly spoke.

"If they can reach nine thousand zhang on their first ascent to the God-Emperor Realm—no, five thousand zhang—I would also be willing to recommend them to be our Sect's Divine Son!" Xian Chenzi said indifferently.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Half-Saints fell silent.

Xian Chenzi smiled slightly, "You don't need to think about those useless things. If you can retain such a Prodigy, then I will thank you on behalf of the Sect."

"It's just a pity that I must tell you, if such a Prodigy is known by those Holy Lands, they will undoubtedly spend a great price to invite him into their Holy Lands!"

"This child's talent can already be called the potential of a Quasi-Emperor, and he might even contend for the legendary Supreme Emperor Realm."

When he spoke of this, a hint of regret appeared in Xian Chenzi's eyes.

Because he knew very well that such a Prodigy would not look favorably upon the Sunset Ancient Sect—no, it should be said he would not look favorably upon the Five Great Territories, including the Zhengyang Holy Domain.

The goal of such a Prodigies was the Nine Great Emperor Domains.

"What?"

The pupils of all the Half-Saints constricted. They wanted to question him, but they couldn't find a reason to do so.

Others might not know the old man's strength, but as his confidants, they knew that while the old man's ranking on the Heavenly Dao Stele seemed to be twenty-first, he had not competed for a ranking for a million years.

And in these million years, because of his guardianship, no one had ever ascended beyond nine thousand zhang. If one were to truly discuss his strength, his ranking on the Heavenly Dao Stele was enough to break into the top three.

As for the first place, it was somewhat difficult, because the person in first place was also an unparalleled Prodigy, from the Zhengyang Ancient Sect. He was the Sect's Divine Son, who had Cultivated for less than 1.6 million years and was already in the Supreme God Emperor Realm.

Moreover, this was with him accumulating his foundation. His ambition was great, wanting to directly cross the Half-Saint Realm and Breakthrough to Saint from the Supreme God Emperor Realm.

It could be said that the twenty-one experts above nine thousand zhang were all walking this Dao.

"A million years have passed. It's time for me to step down. This is the world of the younger generation." Xian Chenzi laughed.

All the Half-Saints were overjoyed at these words.

"Old Ancestor, are you going to Breakthrough?"

Xian Chenzi smiled, "Yes! I have already seen through that Qi, it is time to Breakthrough!"

"Congratulations, Old Ancestor!"

All the Half-Saints offered their congratulations.

At the same time!

Xu Qing's Innate Dharma Body advanced irresistibly, finally reaching the summit of the Heavenly Dao Stele.

There, he saw a figure, an existence exuding immense majesty, as if he transcended all things.

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly. This person was indeed an opponent, the first strong opponent he had encountered since his debut, but only that much.

Xu Qing's figure slowly rose, shining like a star. His eyes gleamed with a light that looked down upon the world.

His invincible Aura surged like a volcano, and the surrounding Void Realm twisted and deformed under his Aura.

An ancient small seal appeared in his hand, shimmering with mysterious runes, as if containing endless profound principles of Heaven and Earth.

"Go!"

Xu Qing controlled the Hun Yuan Seal to smash towards the existence at the top of the Heavenly Dao Stele. Before the Hun Yuan Seal arrived, the profound principles of Heaven and Earth on it transformed into terrifying attacks, streaking across the sky like meteors, storming towards the existence at the top of the Heavenly Dao Stele.

The existence at the top of the Heavenly Dao Stele glanced coldly, letting out a sneer. Similarly, a powerful Aura emanated from his body, forming a powerful domain to block those attacks.

"Fall!" Xu Qing pointed forward, and the Hun Yuan Seal, carrying a supreme Aura, instantly landed on the existence at the top of the Heavenly Dao Stele.

The existence at the top of the Heavenly Dao Stele felt threatened. His body grew even larger, exuding a suffocating pressure.

He spread his arms and lunged at Xu Qing, spewing a stream of black flames from his mouth. The flames were mixed with countless powerful runes, sweeping towards Xu Qing.

"These flames!!!"

Xu Qing's whole body trembled, his gaze fixed on the black flames.

"You deserve to die!"

Xu Qing roared, charging into the black flames alone, relying on his body comparable to a Half-Saint, enduring the terrifying black flames as he rushed towards that figure.

Then he raised his right fist, and terrifying, dazzling light enveloped his fist.

"Boom!"

A punch burst forth, and terrifying power streaked across the sky like a meteor, extinguishing the black flames along the way with destructive force.

The existence at the top of the Heavenly Dao Stele let out an enraged roar. A layer of black flame shield appeared on his body's surface, shimmering with mysterious runes.

With a "bang!", the existence at the top of the Heavenly Dao Stele was shaken and sent flying backward, continuously spewing fresh blood from his mouth.

Xu Qing didn't let him go. He quickly pursued, his fists carrying a violent Aura, continuously pounding the person's body.

During this process, that person continuously counterattacked, but failed to injure Xu Qing in the slightest. Instead, Xu Qing broke his four limbs one after another.

"Bang!"

As the final punch landed, that person's head exploded, and then his entire body transformed into a Seal, falling to the bottom.

"Hoo hoo hoo!"

Xu Qing's eyes burned with fury. He looked at the fallen Seal and remembered the name on it.

Zhengyang Ancient Sect, Yan Luo!

Afterward, the Innate Dharma Body transformed into a Seal, imprinted on the top of the Heavenly Dao Stele.

"Buzz!!!"

Heaven and Earth trembled, and countless divine lights suddenly surged from the Heavenly Dao Stele, enveloping Xu Qing layer by layer.

Under the illumination of the Heavenly Dao Stele, Xu Qing's body began to change, emitting countless divine lights. At this moment, he had already surpassed the limits of Emperor Realm beings, and the Aura he exuded caused the Void Realm to tremble violently.

He had Breakthrough to the Early Stage of the God-Emperor Realm, and did not stop at the Early Stage of the God-Emperor Realm; his Realm was rapidly climbing.

And the outside world also caused a huge stir, because the battle on the Heavenly Dao Stele had ended.

These God-Emperors all sensed their own God-Emperor Seals, and saw an imprint, enveloped by supreme divine light, branded on the top of the Heavenly Dao Stele.

"Yan Luo actually lost? How is this possible?"

Yan Luo was a legend of the Five Great Territories. He Cultivated for less than five hundred thousand years and Breakthrough to the God-Emperor Realm. On his first ascent to the God-Emperor Realm, he rushed up to six thousand three hundred zhang on the Heavenly Dao Stele.

After a million years, he even reached the top of the Heavenly Dao Stele. If he hadn't wanted to Breakthrough to the Saint Realm from the Supreme God Emperor Realm and become a Heavenly Dao Saint, he would now be at least at the Peak Half-Saint Realm, or even already a Saint.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, in their eyes, that Seal transformed into a figure.

What kind of figure was this?

His body was magnificent, permeated with an invincible Aura, with myriad divine lights crossing the sky, and an immense presence, as if born from Chaos, and evolved from the Azure Firmament. He seemed to sit high above the Nine Heavens, looking down upon all the Emperors of the world, like an ancient Great Emperor descending upon the Nine Heavens.

Especially those eyes, like the sun and moon, capable of seeing through all illusions.

With just one glance, everyone felt immense terror.

"Hiss~"

"What a terrifying Aura! Just an Innate Dharma Body makes this venerable one feel the Aura of death. How powerful must his true body's combat strength be?"

"How fortunate, to witness the birth of a True King!"

"Yes! A True King! If nothing unexpected happens, his future achievements will be at least that of a Saint Lord!"

Countless experts all wanted to know Xu Qing's identity, but Xu Qing had obviously hidden the information on the Heavenly Dao Stele, which made many forces secretly frantic.
