227: Su Li becomes the Great Emperor

This world-shaking phenomenon did not only appear in the Gu Clan; it spread throughout the entire Spirit Realm.

Almost at the same moment, across all parts of the Spirit Realm...

Many Great Emperors felt a connection and looked toward the direction of the Gu Clan in shock!

“The aura of an Emperor Tribulation... it's actually the Gu Clan's Third Mistress.”

Demon State.

Dark Imperial Court.

A figure shrouded in darkness suddenly opened their eyes.

“Interesting. It's not Luo Qingcheng, but Su Li.”

Yun Province.

Inside Yunxiao Pavilion.

Lu Qingwu gazed into the distance with her beautiful eyes and whispered to herself, “Eldest Sister has stepped into the Emperor Realm so quickly.”

Yan Province.

Endless Fire Domain.

Xiao Ling sensed the distance with a solemn expression. “The commotion of this Emperor Tribulation is a hundred times more terrifying than Gu Qingtian's back then.”

“Could it be that Su Li's talent is even more horrifying than Gu Qingtian's was?”

“If so, once Su Li becomes an Emperor, her combat power will be unrivaled!”

Myriad Laws Forbidden Abyss.

Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor clenched his fists tightly, his face ashen. “Dammit! If Su Li is allowed to become an Emperor...”

“Wouldn't she be able to use the trump cards left behind by Gu Qingtian?”

“It would be perfect if this Su Li died under the Emperor Tribulation.”

He looked down at the half-broken ancient dagger in his hand, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes. “Even if she passes, so what? With this dagger, the advantage is mine!”

Dozens of incredibly powerful Great Emperor Divine Senses swept across the sky over the Gu Clan from all over the Spirit Realm.

Within these Divine Senses was a trace of wariness that was hard to detect.

Clearly, Su Li's Emperor Tribulation phenomenon had startled them.

If she successfully underwent the tribulation, her combat power would definitely not be comparable to an ordinary new Emperor.

She might even be more terrifying than Gu Qingtian was back then!

For a moment, the Great Emperors felt as if they couldn't catch their breath.

As for stopping Su Li from becoming an Emperor, they didn't have the courage.

They could only watch the scene from afar with complicated emotions.

Above the firmament, Su Li stood quietly in plain clothes beneath the sky full of tribulation clouds.

Her eyes were firm, having cast aside all distracting thoughts, leaving only a pure pursuit of power.

The first bolt of lightning tore through the sky, roaring as it smashed down fiercely!

Su Li did not dodge or avoid it. She raised her hand and forcefully destroyed the falling lightning of destruction.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Each tribulation lightning was more violent than the last, its power doubling with every strike.

In the end, it was no longer simple lightning, but had evolved into various Heavenly Dao calamities.

A patch of tribulation clouds transformed into an Immemorial Divine Mountain to suppress her, but Su Li shattered it with a single punch.

A flash of lightning turned into the River of Time, washing over her as endless Heart Demon illusions sprouted, manifesting images of Cao Bu, Gu Yingying, and various past obsessions.

The center of her brow glowed, her Emperor Fruit clear and pure, and all the illusions dissolved in an instant.

The strength and state of mind she displayed left all the Great Emperors observing in the shadows feeling alarmed.

The resilience of her Dao Heart and her clarity regarding her own path were practically perfect.

The final nine bolts of tribulation lightning merged into one, turning into a massive pillar of light that split the heavens and earth, completely swallowing Su Li's figure.

At this moment, everyone's hearts jumped into their throats.

Gu Yingying stood on the ground, her fists clenched so tightly that she didn't even notice her nails digging into her palms, her heart churning with unspeakable emotions.

Was it hatred?

Was it resentment?

No!

There was only a trace of nervousness that she herself was unwilling to admit.

The pillar of light lasted for a full fifteen minutes before slowly dissipating.

Just as everyone held their breath, staring intently at that patch of sky...

“Buzz.”

An indescribably vast aura erupted from the center of the tribulation clouds!

Heaven and earth harmonized, and various phenomena appeared!

The tribulation clouds, originally filled with destructive power, suddenly vanished, replaced by auspicious clouds across the sky and ten thousand streaks of radiant light. Sacred Law petals drifted down, nourishing all things.

An Emperors Might that stood above the ten thousand Daos quietly spread out, enveloping the four poles and eight desolations.

Su Li's figure reappeared.

She still stood in the same place, her appearance unchanged, but her temperament had undergone an earth-shattering transformation.

Her entire body was shrouded in a hazy layer of eternal brilliance, and as she opened and closed her eyes, there seemed to be rivers of stars flowing within.

Simply by standing there, she was like the center of heaven and earth, the source of all Laws.

From this point on...

The Emperor Realm was achieved!

The entire Gu Clan was first deathly silent, and then an earth-shaking cheer erupted!

Countless clansmen had tears in their eyes as they knelt down one after another, shouting loudly, “Congratulations to the Third Mistress for ascending to the position of Great Emperor!”

Moyue Residence.

A faint smile appeared on Leng Yue's face as she whispered to herself, “Eldest Sister, congratulations.”

Scholarly Fragrance Courtyard.

Gu Yingying excitedly grabbed Cao Bu's arm. “Cao Bu, she succeeded!”

The corner of Cao Bu's mouth curled up slightly. “With the two supreme dao emperor weapons I gave her, it would be abnormal if she didn't pass.”

That's right; at the final critical moment, Su Li had used the supreme dao emperor pouch and the ultimate black silk, which allowed her to safely pass the Emperor Tribulation.

In various parts of the Spirit Realm, the gazes that had been cast toward them were withdrawn after a short silence.

At the same time, grand Divine Thoughts crossed the endless Void Realm, being transmitted over:

“Congratulations to the Gu Clan, and congratulations to Fellow Daoist Su for attaining the Emperor's seat!”

Above the firmament, the auspicious clouds slowly gathered and all entered Su Li's body.

The eternal brilliance around her body gradually became restrained, appearing even more profound and unfathomable.

The next moment.

Her figure flashed, and she had already appeared in front of Cao Bu and Gu Yingying.

“Cao Bu, I've become an Emperor.”

Su Li's excitement was beyond words as she stepped forward and took his arm.

Cao Bu's mouth hooked into a smile, and he naturally wrapped his arms around both of their slender waists.

“Yingying, your sister has successfully broken through to the Great Emperor Realm. Come, follow your husband to celebrate for her; we must let her reach the heights of ultimate bliss.”

Gu Yingying was first stunned, and then two blushes instantly flew onto her cheeks, even her earlobes tinged with crimson.

“Cao Bu! What nonsense are you talking about!”

She subconsciously tried to break free from Cao Bu's hand around her waist, her heart rate involuntarily quickening, a trace of inexplicable throbbing mixed in with her panic.

What celebration!

What ultimate bliss!

Clearly, this bad guy wants to...!

Su Li also gave Cao Bu a speechless sidelong glance, her eyes a mix of an Empress's majesty and charm.

In this bastard's head, besides that matter, it was always that matter.

However, she did not speak up to interrupt; instead, she held Cao Bu's arm even tighter.

Cao Bu took in the reactions of the two women, the smile at the corner of his mouth deepening.

He said no more and disappeared from the spot with the two of them.

As for the Gu Clan's higher-ups who wanted to meet Su Li, they were left with no choice but to wait outside.

They would never have imagined that this Gu Clan Third Mistress, this newly ascended female Emperor, had already followed Cao Bu into the bathhouse.

Warm jade paved the floor, light gauze hung down, and in the massive white jade bath, the spring water gurgled, steam rising with a spiritual rhythm that cleansed the body and mind.

Beside the pool were several Spiritual Plants and immortal flowers that calmed the mind and spirit, emitting a faint, delicate fragrance.

With a flash of light and shadow, Cao Bu appeared in this space filled with warm, moist water vapor with the two of them.

“Why did you bring us here?”

Gu Yingying became increasingly nervous, looking around; the ambiguous atmosphere in this bathhouse made her heart race like a deer.

Su Li's gaze fell into the massive pool, her eyes rippling with a thousand types of charm.

Cao Bu let go of them and walked leisurely to the edge of the pool, testing the water temperature before turning back to look at the two.

“It's quiet here, and the spiritual spring has a nourishing effect, which is perfect for helping Li'er consolidate her Emperor Realm Foundation and for having a good celebration.”

He specifically emphasized the word 'celebration,' the meaning in his eyes self-evident.

Su Li didn't feel any embarrassment.

Gu Yingying, on the other hand, felt extremely bashful.

This bastard really knows how to play.

Before long...

Cao Bu's voice rang out amidst the dense water vapor:

“Li'er becoming an Emperor today is truly a great joy; we should celebrate to our heart's content and not waste this beautiful hour and scenery.”
