157: Head to the Chaotic Void

Gu Jixiao was filled with doubt, but soon a wave of unfamiliar knowledge flooded into his mind—knowledge regarding breaking through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm.

After absorbing this knowledge, a look of sudden realization appeared on Gu Jixiao's face.

An Immortal Emperor is a supreme being who wields the power of the three thousand Laws, transcends all things, and exists simultaneously in the past, present, and future.

Untouched by all Laws.

To break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, one's Physique becomes the greatest burden, for the Immortal Emperor Physique is the most terrifying existence.

An Immortal Emperor does not need any Physique.

Thus, even at just the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, Gu Jixiao's Purple Heaven Divine Body would be dissolved by the Laws and return to nothingness.

"Truly overbearing; it doesn't even allow a Physique to exist?"

"But that makes sense. Once I've become an Immortal Emperor, what use is a Physique?"

Gu Jixiao thought to himself.

An Immortal Emperor could stand perfectly still and remain unharmed even if a Peak Immortal Venerable or a Quasi-Immortal Emperor bombarded them for several opportunities.

Most importantly, the entire world only allows for the existence of a single Immortal Emperor.

In other words, if someone were to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm before Gu Jixiao, then no matter how much of a Prodigy he was or how terrifying the effort he put in, he would never be able to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Unless he could slay an Immortal Emperor while only in the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm.

However, that was nothing more than a pipe dream.

Shaking his head, Gu Jixiao stopped thinking about it.

Since he had now broken through to become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, it was time to hunt down and kill the Lord of the Gui Huan.

After all, the only existence currently capable of posing a threat to Gu Jixiao was the Lord of the Gui Huan.

Judging by the other's performance, in a mere hundred thousand years, he had broken through from the Middle Stage Immortal Venerable to the Peak Immortal Venerable and had even managed to escape unscathed from the hands of the Three Great Saint Venerables.

Perhaps the next time he attacked, he would have broken through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, just like himself?

It was even possible that he might break through and become a true Immortal Emperor before him.

However, that was a remote possibility; after all, even he had only been able to break through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor with the help of the System.

Not to mention the Lord of the Gui Huan.

Shaking his head, Gu Jixiao put these thoughts aside, turned around, and prepared to head directly to the Land of Chaos and Nothingness to actively seek out the Lord of the Gui Huan.

Only after turning around did Gu Jixiao notice Wang Xuan and the others standing nearby, and a look of curiosity appeared on his face.

"What are you all doing here?"

As Gu Jixiao spoke, Wang Xuan and the other Late Stage Immortal Venerables all looked at him with expressions of resentment.

Seeing their expressions, Gu Jixiao froze for a moment, then closed his eyes to sense his surroundings carefully.

In just an instant, he knew what had happened.

"I didn't expect my Breakthrough to cause such a huge commotion. It seems I'll have to leave the Saint Realm when I break through to become an Immortal Emperor."

Gu Jixiao thought to himself.

The might of an Immortal Emperor is terrifying; even with him only breaking through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor, the pressure could already be described as horrifying.

Not to mention how powerful that pressure would become when he broke through to become a true Immortal Emperor.

"Master, since your Breakthrough is complete, we shall take our leave now."

Wang Xuan spoke first, then departed from the area along with the other Late Stage Immortal Venerable experts.

Watching them leave, Gu Jixiao did not stop them. He then looked toward the Direction of the Land of Chaos and Nothingness.

Now that he had broken through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, his senses were much sharper.

Thus, even across an extremely vast distance, he could sense a terrifying aura brewing there.

If he wasn't mistaken, that should be where the Lord of the Gui Huan was located.
