186: Chapter 186 The Great Emperor of Qiankun Shocks the World

While Jiang Hao and the other two were discussing the Dao and future plans in the Heavenly Court's back garden, the Myriad Heavens also welcomed new changes.

It has been ten thousand years since the Heaven Refining Demon Emperor, Fang Yuan, returned to the Dao. His remaining Great Emperor dao marks have finally dissipated completely under the erosion of time.

The heavenly heart imprint is once again without a master, and the Emperors Path has reopened!

The majestic Luck and countless Prodigies accumulated in this great era could no longer hold themselves back.

Powerful auras soared into the sky from all corners of the Myriad Heavens. Intense duels erupted from time to time in the starry sky, as those aspiring for the throne competed and eliminated their rivals.

For a time, the flames of war spread throughout the Universe, and blood stained the starry sky.

Sealed powerhouses and contemporary Prodigies all joined this cruel competition.

Everyone wanted to seize the throne of this era and become the Great Emperor revered by all the Myriad Heavens.

Becoming a Great Emperor is the dream of every Prodigy!

Even if they were to die on the way, many Prodigies would not hesitate. This is the struggle of the Emperors Path, and this is the allure of becoming an Emperor!

The final winner did not exceed many people's expectations; it could be said to be within what many had anticipated.

Xiao Fan, the legendary figure who had long been famous throughout the Myriad Heavens and had even lived a Heaven-Defying second life while in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, swept through all his opponents with an unmatched posture.

His Qiankun Body became even more terrifying after living his second life. The small Qiankun within his body had almost evolved into a real Small World, impervious to all techniques, with nearly infinite magical power.

No matter what brilliant opponent or strange secret technique he faced, he broke through cleverness with brute force, crushing them with absolute and overbearing strength.

The struggle on the Emperors Path finally came to an end with an ultimate duel between him and another equally brilliant powerhouse.

That battle shattered dozens of Star Domains in the Cosmic Borderlands. Xiao Fan completely defeated his opponent, clearing the final obstacle.

Subsequently, he triggered the Great Tribulation of Attaining the Dao in the Cosmic Borderlands.

Tribulation clouds covered the Cosmic Borderlands. Within the sea of lightning, thousands of phantoms evolved, and even the dao marks of past Heavenly Venerable Ancient Emperors surfaced, appearing absolutely terrifying.

It reminded all living beings of the Myriad Heavens of the tribulation the legendary Heavenly Emperor had undergone back then.

Xiao Fan's current tribulation for attaining the Dao was the only one in many years to approach that of the Heavenly Emperor, although it was still not as great.

But it also proved that Xiao Fan was extraordinary.

His second life's body granted Xiao Fan a Foundation far exceeding that of an ordinary Peak Quasi-Emperor.

Bathed in the sea of lightning, his fists shattered all techniques. His natal divine weapon, the Qiankun Sword, swirled around him, slashing through everything, as he endured all the tribulations by sheer force.

At the moment he had just successfully undergone the tribulation and was in a relatively weak state, a terrifying Supreme aura suddenly erupted from the direction of the Meteorite Sea forbidden zone.

A giant hand spanning the galaxy pierced through the Void Realm, grabbing directly toward the tribulation site, intending to strangle this New Emperor!

Countless eyes across the Heavens and Myriad Worlds held their breath. This was the forbidden zone's hunt for the New Emperor, and also the New Emperor's battle of proof.

The Forbidden Zone Supreme Beings needed to hunt New Emperors to sustain their own lives, while the New Emperor needed to survive this tribulation to prove himself.

Xiao Fan once again proved his strength. Not only did he defend against the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone's assassination attempt, but he also counter-killed that Supreme Being at the cost of being heavily wounded.

This scene was even more shocking than when the Heaven Refining Demon Emperor, Fang Yuan, attained the Dao.

Back then, Fang Yuan only set out after attaining the Dao and stabilizing his Realm, slaying the Shenwu Heavenly Venerate who had undergone Ultimate Sublimation. In contrast, Xiao Fan counter-killed a Supreme Being just after successfully undergoing his tribulation.

The Myriad Heavens fell silent.

"Hiss... this New Emperor is extraordinary!"

"He is even more aggressive than that Devil Emperor Fang Yuan; his Foundation is terrifyingly deep!"

"The forbidden zone has kicked a steel plate this time. This Qiankun Great Emperor is so strong; among the several Great Emperors so far, his performance is the best except for the Heavenly Emperor."

"The Qiankun Great Emperor is terrifyingly powerful!"

Various forces were in an uproar, with discussions everywhere—some in wonder, some in horror, and some with deep awe.

In the most direct way, Xiao Fan announced the birth of an incomparably powerful New Emperor, momentarily silencing the forbidden zones.

Heavenly Court, back garden.

Jiang Hao and the other two, who had paused their discussion on the Dao, were naturally watching this scene.

"This lad is not bad." Heavenly Venerable Lingbao put down his teacup and nodded.

"Solid Foundation, firm will, and decisive in killing. To be able to counter-kill a Supreme right after attaining the Dao—truly remarkable!"

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi also nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"To be able to live a second life in the Quasi-Emperor Realm is rare in itself. Now that he has attained the Dao, his accumulation naturally far exceeds that of an ordinary New Emperor. What's even rarer is his steady Heart-Nature, neither arrogant nor impetuous."

As he spoke, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi looked at Jiang Hao and smiled. "Fellow Daoist Jiang, this lad has a history with you, doesn't he? Has he received your guidance?"

Jiang Hao smiled and did not deny it.

"There is some fate between us. When my dao fruit body traveled through the Mortal World, I happened to encounter him in his humble beginnings at Beidou. Seeing his resilient Heart-Nature and extraordinary talent, I gave him some guidance a few times and provided some minor help. His achievements today are entirely due to his own efforts and fortune."

This boy Xiao Fan did not disappoint Jiang Hao. Such growth speed and Heart-Nature would be top-tier even in any era.

Lingbao and Yuanshi looked at each other and smiled upon hearing this.

"No wonder," Lingbao said. "To receive even casual guidance from Fellow Daoist is a heavenly Opportunity."

"It seems this world has a worthy successor," Yuanshi also lamented with emotion.

Now, they were very happy to see new powerful figures appearing in this world.

Because the more powerhouses there were, the more confident they would be in dealing with potential future tribulations.

The stronger the newcomers, the better.

After attaining the Dao and becoming an Emperor, Xiao Fan returned to Beidou. He did not immediately announce it to the world, nor did he hold any celebrations.

Instead, he went into secluded meditation for two thousand years to organize his Great Dao, consolidate his cultivation, and adjust his state to its current Peak.

After emerging from seclusion, the first thing he did was restrain his Emperor's might and take a step forward, heading towards the Thirty-Three Heavens.

This scene was immediately noticed by many observant people throughout the Myriad Heavens.

"The Qiankun Great Emperor has moved; he is heading towards the Heavenly Court!"

"Is he going to pay respects to the Chaos Heavenly Emperor? Or is he going to challenge the authority of the Heavenly Emperor?"

"Hard to say. New Emperors often have very high spirits. Back then, the Heaven Refining Demon Emperor even wanted to take over the Heavenly Court..."

"But this Qiankun Great Emperor doesn't seem like such an arrogant person..."

"Let's wait and see. Regardless of the outcome, it will have far-reaching effects!"

Speculations arose from all sides, and all eyes were on them. Everyone wanted to know how this powerful New Emperor would get along with that unfathomable Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

Would it be harmonious coexistence, or would the New Emperor be defiant?

Arriving outside the South Heaven Gate, Xiao Fan did not barge in. Instead, following the rules, he stated his identity and intention for an audience to the guarding heavenly general with a peaceful attitude.

Soon, he received permission and was guided by the Golden Light Avenue to the Heavenly Court's back garden.

When Xiao Fan stepped into the garden and saw the three people sitting by the Immortal Pond, he was clearly stunned for a moment.

He naturally recognized Jiang Hao. Although he was unfamiliar with Heavenly Venerable Lingbao's aura, he could guess somewhat.

But he was completely unfamiliar with the middle-aged Daoist wearing a Daoist robe.

Furthermore, he felt immense pressure from this middle-aged Daoist; clearly, this was a terrifyingly powerful expert.

Who is this?

When did such a powerhouse appear in the world?

There was actually no news in the Myriad Heavens? Did the Heavenly Emperor obscure the heavenly secrets?

Waves of shock surged in Xiao Fan's heart. Now that he had reached the Emperor Realm, he could better appreciate the unfathomability of this being.

He also understood more clearly how terrifying the methods must be to allow such a powerhouse to appear silently in the Myriad Heavens without anyone noticing.

Jiang Hao looked at the surprised Xiao Fan, smiled slightly, and said, "You've come? Sit."
