322: Chapter 322 Emperor Yuan: Should I Avoid Their Edge?

Before long, the entire Daluo Heaven was shaken.

"My god, something huge has happened! Look at the Record Boards!"

"What happened? What happened?"

"From the Bitter Sea Realm to the Dao Palace Realm, every single record has been broken by one person!"

"Ah? How is that possible!"

"Just look and you'll see!"

On the Record Board, a name was shining brightly.

Yuan Dao!

From the Bitter Sea to the Dao Palace, every record belonged to him.

Moreover, every record surpassed the previous ones by a significant margin.

Everyone stood with their mouths agape, staring at the record screen, unable to say a single word.

Breaking all records across multiple Realms in such a short time—what kind of concept was that?

It meant that this person named Yuan Dao had reached the absolute limit in every metric of every Realm since he began to Cultivate.

Extreme strength, extreme speed, extreme Comprehension Ability, extreme Dao techniques...

Everything was done to the best possible standard, at least for the current era!

Many people swallowed hard.

Could such a person truly exist?

One must know that even top-tier Prodigies, even those with the potential to become Emperors, or even those past Dao Provers, could not take first place in every single category.

It was simply too difficult!

Furthermore, this was an era where combat power in every Realm was exploding and various Prodigies were emerging in succession.

The various records had already been refreshed many times, significantly higher than in the past, and basically every record had reached its limit.

Under these circumstances, wanting to break the records again was even harder!

"Good heavens, where did this fierce man pop up from?"

Someone snapped out of it and muttered, "A fierce man like this couldn't have been unknown from the start. To break so many records from the Bitter Sea to the Dao Palace, how could no one know about such a Prodigy?"

"Exactly, a Prodigy like this should have caused a sensation throughout the Origin Realm the moment he appeared."

"Could it be a hidden Genius from some great clan?"

"Impossible, which great clan could hide a Genius like this?"

"Then who is he?"

The crowd discussed fervently, offering all sorts of guesses.

Suddenly, someone slapped their thigh.

"Do you think this Yuan Dao is the former Emperor Yuan?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked toward him.

That person said excitedly, "Everyone should know that Emperor Yuan's name is Yuan Dao. Now this person is also called Yuan Dao and is so powerful, and I heard that Emperor Yuan once..."

Everyone was dazed.

Emperor Yuan?

The Emperor Yuan who disappeared after he proved the Dao?

"Yes, yes, yes! Putting it that way, it makes a lot of sense. I also heard that after Emperor Yuan proved the Dao, he took a special path to longevity and merged himself with his Imperial Weapon. Later, something went wrong, and he went to seek an audience with the Celestial Emperor. The Celestial Emperor must have saved him!"

"I've heard that rumor too. It's said he turned into a small child afterward."

"Then isn't this Yuan Dao just Emperor Yuan recultivating?"

"My god, a Great Emperor recultivating?"

The crowd instantly became excited.

"No wonder he's so fierce. A Great Emperor recultivating—how could he not be fierce!"

"Exactly! He already proved the Dao once; what experience does he lack? Doing it all over again, wouldn't that be effortless?"

"And I heard the Celestial Emperor helped him reshape his Foundation. His current Foundation is even stronger than before, so smashing records must be like child's play for him."

However, some people didn't believe it.

They felt it might just be a coincidence of having the same name and wasn't necessarily the same person.

The two sides argued incessantly.

Little Silkworm naturally heard this news as well, but he already had an answer in his heart.

He felt that this Yuan Dao was definitely Emperor Yuan.

Otherwise, it couldn't be explained.

How could one person sweep every record from the Bitter Sea to the Four Extremities?

That was no longer just a Genius; that was a Genius rarely seen in an eternity.

He looked at Wu Liang: "Daoist Master Wu, what do you think?"

Wu Liang stroked his chin and pondered, "I think it is Emperor Yuan. Aside from a Great Emperor recultivating, no one could pull off something like this."

"Think about it. When Emperor Yuan took the wrong path back then, it was the Celestial Emperor who saved him. If the Celestial Emperor acts, can it be ordinary? He definitely reshaped his Foundation and perhaps even gave him some benefits. The current him is surely much stronger at the same stage than he was in the life when he proved the Dao. What's refreshing a few records to him?"

Little Silkworm nodded, feeling it made sense.

Thinking of this, Battle Intent ignited in his heart. He was looking forward to a battle with the recultivating Emperor Yuan!

He wanted to see exactly how strong a recultivating Great Emperor was!

Before long, the news was confirmed: this Yuan Dao was indeed the former Emperor Yuan.

At this, the Daluo Heaven completely boiled over.

"It really is Emperor Yuan! I knew it. How could a normal Prodigy be so strong? Only a recultivating Great Emperor could do this!"

"My god, a recultivating Great Emperor who was also helped by the Celestial Emperor, with a greatly optimized Foundation—can he even have an opponent?"

"It's over, it's over. How can anyone else play in this competition of Prodigies?"

Throughout the Daluo Heaven, exclamations and discussions were everywhere.

Some were excited, some were in despair, and some were just watching the fun.

"I thought Heavenly Silkworm - Potato was already unparalleled in the world, but I didn't expect someone even more valiant to appear."

"It's normal, though. He's a recultivating Great Emperor—how can you compare?"

"That Heavenly Silkworm - Potato has an opponent now!"

"Do you think Emperor Yuan can break Heavenly Silkworm - Potato's records?"

"He definitely can! He's someone who has proved the Dao before; his advantage is just too great!"

"Not necessarily. Heavenly Silkworm - Potato is also very strong. Those records aren't something that can be broken casually; they're already close to the limit. Even a recultivating Great Emperor must have a limit."

"Then let's just wait and see!"

In the Emperor Yuan Palace, Yuan Dao sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, with a Jade Slip floating before him.

On it was precisely the introduction to Heavenly Silkworm - Potato.

"Interesting."

Yuan Dao smiled. He hadn't expected that in this era, such a Prodigy would emerge. This Heavenly Silkworm - Potato was very impressive.

When he proved the Dao in his first life, although there were many strong people in his generation, there were almost none who could compare to this Heavenly Silkworm - Potato.

If he had competed against this person in his first life, he really wouldn't have been certain of winning.

But that was the first life.

Now things were different.

Yuan Dao stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the starry sky outside.

After he left the Heavenly Court and returned to his own territory back then, he hadn't rushed to Cultivate.

Instead, he followed the method given by the Celestial Emperor to continue stabilizing his Foundation and undergo a transformation.

Now his Foundation was far stronger than in his first life. Currently, he not only had the experience of proving the Dao but also had a Foundation of the Immortal Dao.

His strength already far exceeded his past self at the same stage.

Yuan Dao clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within his body.

This time, his goal was never the so-called top-tier Prodigies currently appearing, but rather those monsters in the Celestial Emperor's back garden.

This was also the reason he hadn't been in a hurry to reveal himself after his transformation was complete.

Those existences were each world-shaking beings, with Foundations perhaps even more terrifying than his current one.

But so what?

He was a recultivating Great Emperor.

If he was going to fight, he would fight the elite; otherwise, what was the point?

He wanted to compete on the same stage as those world-shaking Prodigies to initiate his supremely glorious second life.

He didn't believe that with his status as a recultivating Great Emperor plus an Immortal Dao Foundation, he could still lose to those fellows who hadn't even emerged yet.

"Any way you look at it, the advantage is mine. As a former Emperor, should I avoid their sharpness?"

This was Yuan Dao's thought.

If he were to compete with the young Celestial Emperor in the same generation, he indeed wouldn't have confidence, because he had seen the Celestial Emperor's strength and his various Divine-Grade performances.

Toward the Celestial Emperor, he was humbled, but toward those few existences who hadn't emerged yet, he had confidence.

They were just Geniuses; one would only know their worth after a fight.

As a former Emperor, he had this self-confidence, and he should have it.

Yuan Dao muttered, "Let me measure those Geniuses who even the Celestial Emperor praises!"

As for this Heavenly Silkworm - Potato...

Yuan Dao smiled; let him be the start of his path to invincibility.

Just then, the sound of footsteps came from outside the hall.

Yuan Dao turned his head and saw a beautiful, elegant lady walking in.
