1: Chapter 1: Proving the Dao and Becoming an Emperor!

"It is done! I have become an Emperor!!!"

The terrifying Lightning Tribulation covered dozens of Star Domains within the Big Dipper Astral Region, with billions of lightning bolts dancing wildly like Dragons and snakes, illuminating the entire starry sky as if it were broad daylight.

In the center of that sea of lightning, a young boy with black hair and black eyes looked up and let out a long howl, his voice shaking the Universe.

His body shattered and reformed within the Lightning Tribulation, becoming stronger with every reformation.

Chaos Qi permeated his entire body, resembling the primordial aura from before the creation of the world, and all Daos wailed beneath his feet.

"I, Chu Tianjiao, have claimed the title of Emperor!!!"

Eight hundred years in total!

Walking out from that inconspicuous little sect in the Eastern Wasteland of the Emperor Burial Star, he fought his way through the Ancient Starry Sky Road, creating an unprecedented record for the Human Race and even all races—proving the Dao at the age of eight hundred!

And he did it while under the suppression of the Dao marks of Empress Nuwa, achieving the Imperial position in a Heaven-Defying manner!

The Lightning Tribulation finally dissipated, and the heavenly heart mark flew in from the depths of the Universe, slowly merging into Chu Tianjiao's body.

At this moment, all Daos submitted, and every living being in the entire Universe felt that Supreme and incomparable pressure.

"Today, I, Chu Tianjiao, have achieved the Imperial position, so it is time to settle the accounts of the past!" Chu Tianjiao's voice spread to every corner of the Big Dipper Astral Region. "Those Holy Lands that bullied me back then, wash your necks clean and wait for me!"

His gaze swept across the starry sky, and those Holy Lands that had once attacked him when he was weak were now trembling in fear.

The moment he fused with the heavenly heart mark, Chu Tianjiao felt a power like never before.

He could clearly perceive every wisp of Law in the Universe and hear the breathing of stars billions of light-years away.

This is what an Emperor is: holding the heavenly heart and suppressing the current age!

"I have become an Emperor! Stone Emperor, get out here!!!"

Chu Tianjiao took a step forward, arriving directly above the Emperor Burial Star, and shouted toward the direction of Undying Mountain.

His voice was like rolling thunder, shaking the mountain ranges surrounding Undying Mountain until they collapsed.

"Back then, when I entered your Undying Mountain to get a few Saint herbs, you bullied me; today, we must settle this Karma!"

The first thing to do after becoming an Emperor was to settle accounts with Undying Mountain!

This was Chu Tianjiao's character—vengeful for the slightest grievance, and clear about gratitude and grudges. If you show me kindness, I will repay you a hundredfold; if you bear me malice, I will return it a hundredfold!

"Hmph! Chu Tianjiao! Do not think that just because you became an Emperor with a Chaos Body, you can do whatever you want. If you have the guts, come to Undying Mountain!"

The cold voice of the Stone Emperor emanated from within Undying Mountain.

That voice carried the vicissitudes of endless years, as well as a hint of deeply hidden apprehension.

The Stone Emperor never expected that the little Cultivator, who was like an ant in his eyes back then, would actually prove the Dao within eight hundred years.

And he possessed a Chaos Body, one of the strongest Physiques of all time!

"I will go, as if I fear you! Now, I am the Emperor! You pieces of trash who cut yourselves with the blade, do you even deserve to fight me? Today, I will kill you to celebrate!!!"

Chu Tianjiao laughed arrogantly. He was originally a transmigrator who had come to this world with memories of Blue Star.

Having read the original work, he felt extreme disgust toward these Supremes who had cut themselves with the blade and launched the Dark Turmoil.

In his eyes, these people did not deserve the titles of "Emperor" and "Sovereign."

A true Emperor or Sovereign should protect all living beings, not devour them just to survive!

Undying Mountain, one of the seven great Forbidden Life Zones, had existed since ancient times and had devoured the blood and bones of countless Prodigies.

Chu Tianjiao took a step, and the Void Realm folded beneath his feet. This was the method of an Emperor: shrinking the earth into an inch, crossing the endless starry sky in a single step.

He appeared directly above Undying Mountain.

The entire Undying Mountain was shrouded in eerie black mist, a mist that could devour light and was difficult for even Divine Thought to penetrate.

But in Chu Tianjiao's eyes, nothing could hide—he saw the eight terrifying auras slumbering within the mountain.

"Today, I shall take your dog life!"

A long blade appeared in Chu Tianjiao's hand.

This blade had followed him for eight hundred years, from the initial ordinary iron to later being forged with nine types of immortal gold, including Dragon-patterned black gold, Dao-tribulation gold, and Feathered green gold, and finally, during his recent Undergoing Tribulation, it was tempered by the Imperial tribulation, ultimately becoming an Imperial weapon!

He named this blade—Tyrant Blade!

"Tyrant Blade, First Form! Sweeping Through a Thousand Armies!"

There was no probing; he opened with his strongest killing move. Chu Tianjiao knew the terror of these Supremes; they had once been Emperors and Sovereigns, and although they had cut themselves with the blade, their combat experience and Imperial Dao Law remained.

He swung the Tyrant Blade, and the blade light poured down like the Milky Way, tearing apart the black mist outside Undying Mountain.

The Imperial might was vast and mighty, causing the entire Emperor Burial Star to tremble; countless living beings knelt on the ground, and even Saints could not withstand this pressure.

"Arrogant!"

A massive stone hand reached out from within Undying Mountain; it was the Stone Emperor's hand, covered in ancient stone skin, with palm lines resembling the veins of mountains and rivers.

The stone hand met the Tyrant Blade, and in an instant—

"Boom!!!"

A terrifying shockwave swept in all directions, instantly turning the mountain ranges within hundreds of thousands of miles of Undying Mountain into powder.

If not for the array patterns laid down by the Supremes protecting Undying Mountain itself, this strike could have shattered the entire Forbidden Zone.

"Kill!!!"

Chu Tianjiao roared wildly, his Chaos Qi boiling, and he transformed into a stream of light, charging into the interior of Undying Mountain.

As soon as he entered, he felt a terrifying suppression.

The interior of Undying Mountain was a world unto itself, with Dao Laws different from the outside world; this was the result of modifications by successive Supremes, capable of weakening the advantages of the current Emperor.

"Since you dared to step into Undying Mountain, do not think that just because you have become an Emperor you can do as you please; this is not a place for you to run wild!"

Four terrifying auras awakened simultaneously, and together with the Stone Emperor, five Supremes surrounded Chu Tianjiao in the center.

"Hahaha! Good! You pieces of trash who cut yourselves with the blade, my Qi and blood are abundant, I can grind you all to death even if I have to wear you down! Do you dare to undergo Ultimate Sublimation and fight me?!"

Chu Tianjiao was not afraid in the slightest; on the contrary, his Battle Intent was boiling.

This was his character—the more he fought, the braver he became; the more enemies there were, the more excited he got!

The Tyrant Blade in his hand transformed into billions of blade lights, each strike containing the complete Imperial Dao Law.

His Chaos Body erupted fully; his body seemed to have transformed into a small Universe, with all Daos intertwining within him.

"Tyrant Blade Heart Method—Heaven Opening!"

The blade light transformed into a divine radiance of creation, slashing toward one of the Supremes.

That Supreme snorted coldly and raised his hand to strike out a phantom of a Star Domain; it was the phenomenon from when he achieved the Dao, which had once suppressed an entire era.

"Bang!"

The Star Domain shattered, and that Supreme retreated three steps, a look of shock appearing in his eyes.

"How is this possible?! He has only just proven the Dao, why is his combat power so terrifying?!"

"He is a Chaos Body, and it seems he has walked his own path, not simply inheriting the Dao of his predecessors!" another Supreme said in a deep voice.

Under the siege of five Supremes, Chu Tianjiao was actually not at a disadvantage; on the contrary, he became braver the more he fought.

His Tyrant Blade Heart Method was self-created through countless battles; every move was a lethal technique, without a hint of flashiness.

"If you aren't vigorous, are you still a young man? I am only eight hundred and seventeen years old this year; you pieces of trash with half your bodies already in the grave, do you dare to undergo Ultimate Sublimation?! Do you dare?!"

Chu Tianjiao laughed wildly while attacking, every word stabbing into the Supremes' hearts like a knife.
