196: Quasi-emperors emerge in large numbers

Since Lin Ying's birth, after Lin Dao received the feedback from the Supreme Demonic Body and stepped into an unknown Realm, he completely retreated into the depths of the Forbidden Ground and began a long period of secluded cultivation.

The Supreme Demonic Body was overwhelmingly tyrannical; the will of Devourment and Destruction it contained continuously assaulted his Original Heart, leading to a fierce conflict with the previously balanced and peaceful Chaos Emperor Dao.

He needed to use his Supreme Will to reconcile these two completely opposite forces, melting them into one furnace, while simultaneously adapting to and controlling the brand new power that transcended the Great Emperor Realm.

This process was extremely perilous and allowed for no interruption.

Outside, time flew by; ten years passed in a hurry.

During these ten years, the Primal Ancient Realm experienced surging changes, and the focus remained consistently on the Emperors Road that spanned the Star Domain.

The news that there was “more than one Great Emperor” had long been confirmed, completely igniting the ambitions of all Prodigies.

The competition within the Emperors Road reached an unprecedented Peak of brutality.

Blood and bones paved every inch of the path ahead; wails and shouts became the eternal theme.

And the Lin Family, as the most dazzling star of this era, saw its younger generation burst forth with a light that shocked the ages during these ten years of blood and fire baptism!

Lin Huan, in front of the “Primal Ancient Palace” deep within the Emperors Road, successively slew three Ancient Monstrosities from different Life Forbidden Zones. His Primal Origin Body evolved Ten Thousand Laws, devouring all manner of Divine Abilities, and he forcefully passed the terrifying Emperor Calamity, stepping into the Quasi-Emperor Realm!

Afterward, his momentum was unstoppable, his cultivation soaring all the way, quickly approaching the Middle Stage of Quasi-Emperor, and he was revered as one of the most promising individuals on the Emperors Road to ascend to the Imperial Throne!

Lin Hao, possessing Sword Heart Clarity, defeated the remnant Sword Intent of the Ancient Sword Emperors in the ultimate Sword Tomb of the Burial Sword Star Domain using the dust-slaying sword in his hand. He integrated his own Supreme Sword Dao, triggered the Nine Heavens Sword Calamity, and achieved the title of Quasi-Emperor Sword Venerable!

His Sword Qi spanned thirty thousand miles, its light chilling the Nineteen Provinces, and no one dared to contest his edge!

Ye Chen, his Ancient Desolate Sacred Body underwent ultimate sublimation in the ultimate Blood Pool of the Ancient Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races. His Vital Qi and Blood pierced the Star River, and he tore apart a revived Remnant Spirit of an Ancient Divine Demon with his bare hands, fiercely resisting the eighty-one layers of the Mixed-Origin Saint Calamity. His Physical Body advanced before his Realm, allowing him to be the first to step into the Quasi-Emperor level, his Combat Power shocking the world!

Lin Yun's Star Heavy Pupils pierced through illusion, capturing a wisp of “Eternal Light” at the end of time and space. His Heavy Pupils evolved, his gaze manifesting a Star Domain, and he stepped into Quasi-Emperor.

Lin Qingyi and Jiang Li's dual Flying Immortal Physiques resonated, and they together crossed the Flying Immortal Calamity at the Flying Immortal Peak. immortal light cleansed the world, and both achieved Quasi-Emperor status. When working together, they could fight Veteran Quasi-Emperors.

Yang Yan, Moon Radiance, Lin Zhan, Lin Yao, Lin Sha, Lin Ziyan... one by one, the Lin Family Prodigies, relying on their Heaven-Defying Physiques, astonishing perseverance, and the blessing of Family Luck, successfully crossed their respective Great Calamities and stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm!

The Lin Family produced Quasi-Emperors in abundance!

Their prestige had already surpassed all Immortal Powers and Ancient Imperial Families, becoming the most formidable force on the Emperors Road, radiating boundless light that no one could match!

Of course, the Emperors Road harbored Hidden Talents; the Lin Family was not the only outstanding entity.

Gu Changge of the Longevity Gu Family, whose Supreme Bone Divine Ability grew increasingly terrifying, executed the “Hand of the Heavens” on the “Heavenly Mandate Platform” of the Emperors Road, suppressing and killing a Lone Cultivator in the Quasi-Emperor Middle Stage from the Chaos Frontier, thus forcefully stepping into the Quasi-Emperor Late Stage, becoming unfathomable.

On Primordial Imperial Mountain, an Ancient Imperial Son awakened, possessing complete Imperial Blood. His Imperial Dao Dragon Qi dominated the Universe, and his cultivation reached the Quasi-Emperor Peak.

There were also inheritors of mysterious Physiques, such as the Reincarnation Body and Chaos Body, which only appeared in legends. They all displayed terrifying strength that crushed their peers, stepping into the Quasi-Emperor Domain one after another.

The competition on the Emperors Road had already evolved into the ultimate showdown between these Prodigies, Monstrosities, and Imperial Sons standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid!

And during these ten years, Lin Dao, who was guarding the Lin Family Forbidden Ground and constantly undergoing Death Seclusion, although he never showed his face, his cultivation continuously and frantically advanced at a speed he himself had not anticipated, thanks to the sustained surge in Family Luck, especially the massive feedback generated by the numerous Prodigies breaking through to Quasi-Emperor!

On the System Panel, the column representing his Realm had long turned into a string of question marks. The feedback energy, like a vast Star Sea, continuously poured into his Physical Body, which already surpassed that of a Great Emperor, and into his Chaos World.

The Supreme Demonic Body and the Primordial Divine Demon Body reached a subtle balance amid constant conflict and Fusion, even beginning to derive even more terrifying power.

His Chaos World became increasingly real and vast, seemingly evolving into a true Universe.

What Realm had he reached now?

Even he could not accurately define it.

He only felt that if he wished, it seemed he could change the trajectories of the stars in this Universe and rewrite the Laws of the Myriad Dao with just a single thought.

The so-called Emperors Road, in his perception, resembled a slightly brighter stream, and the competition within it was more like children playing.

But he did not leave seclusion. He continued to consolidate and explore at a deeper level, while also separating a wisp of Divine Thought to silently observe the younger generation on the Emperors Road, as well as... that increasingly clear sense of threat emanating mysteriously from the Upper Realm.

On this day, an even more shocking piece of news, like an ultimate storm, spread from the deepest part of the Emperors Road, sweeping across the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms—

Someone... had stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Peak!

And they had triggered the Phenomenon of Achieving the Great Emperor Status, preparing to challenge for the final Imperial Throne!

The Emperors Road was finally about to usher in its Finale!

Countless gazes instantly focused on the end of the Emperors Road.

Everyone knew that the first person attempting to challenge the Imperial Throne had appeared!

Regardless of success or failure, it signified that the prelude to the Final Decisive Battle had already begun!

Those dormant Imperial Sons, Ancient Monstrosities, and Hidden World Successors could no longer remain silent. They manifested their true forms, carrying immense Luck and Invincible Conviction, and converged toward the area at the end of the Emperors Road where a blurry Phantom of the Imperial Seat was manifesting!

The final Battle for the Imperial Throne was imminent!

The Lin Family's Quasi-Emperors, led by Lin Huan, Lin Hao, and others, concluded their respective Trials and Breakthroughs. Their Aura was magnificent, transforming into streaks of brilliant light that tore through the Star River, heading straight for the end of the Emperors Road!

They would represent the Lin Family to contend for the Great Emperor's Glory destined to illuminate the ages!

In the Forbidden Ground, Lin Dao's eyes, which had been tightly closed for ten years, trembled slightly, as if startled by the Aura of this Finale.

"Finally... is it about to begin?"

A faint, almost inaudible whisper dissipated in the Chaos.
