Chapter 122: Witnesses of the Times (19)

Boom!
The moment the death of Emperor Shenyan was confirmed, an incomparably terrifying aura poured down like a torrent across the Tianxuan Domain.
A Quasi-Emperor...a Quasi-Emperor has been born!
Deep within the universe, many powerful figures engaged in fierce battles on the path to becoming emperors, vying for the imperial destiny, were suddenly jolted, all sensing an incredibly terrifying aura.
"Who...is about to become an emperor?"
Everyone was stunned. The Dao traces left by Emperor Shenyan in the world had not yet dissipated, and no one had yet reached the peak of Quasi-Emperor...yet someone was already attempting to break through to the Emperor realm!
Those in seclusion, such as Fang Bubai, Lin Zhan, Wang Yunfei, and Li Shenhua, who were expected to break through to the Emperor realm, were also stunned...who was it that was becoming an emperor under the still-present pressure of the Dao?
The beings from the forbidden zones who had just emerged from seclusion were also stunned.
Emperor Shenyan had only just died; could it be that this world was about to welcome a second emperor?
"No, we absolutely cannot allow a second Great Emperor to be born so soon!"
Some declining Supreme Beings were anxious. They had endured for ten thousand years without reaping a single sliver of glory. If another Great Emperor appeared, would they have to endure another ten thousand years?
Su Chen, still in the Wang family, looked up, a sudden chill running through him. A Saint's sudden whim meant something significant was about to happen.
The sky above the Tianxuan Domain was dark and filled with lightning.
An ancient temple, with the arrival of a figure, stood atop the Tianxuan Domain. The vast and boundless Tianxuan Domain appeared so small before that figure.
Su Chen saw a familiar face through layers of space.
Yu Shukuang… He really wasn't dead!
No… it shouldn't be Yu Shukuang. It should be called the Spirit God King, who has returned once more.
The moment Su Chen recognized the Spirit God King, the Spirit God King's gaze turned towards the Central Continent. In an instant, Su Chen felt as if he had been severely injured, his body shattering.
Countless lives in the Central Plains were annihilated in a single glance.
"What a terrifying Spirit God King..."
Su Chen was horrified. He could sense that the Spirit God King's strength surpassed that of the old Quasi-Emperor of the Imperial Palace and Li Shenhua... even rivaling the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones!
The Spirit God King landed one hand in the air above the Western Regions, and amidst the horror of countless lives, he grabbed the land of the Western Regions.
"What are you doing?"
From the direction of the Western Regions, a figure in white starlight appeared, his expression horrified: "Spirit God King, you promised me you would help me become a Quasi-Emperor!"
The Spirit God King laughed loudly: "What's a Quasi-Emperor? Let me help you become an Emperor! If you merge with me, won't my becoming an Emperor be yours?"
As he spoke, ignoring the roar of the Great Sage of the Western Regions, he crushed him. Then, the entire Western Regions transformed into a crystalline arm, merging with the Spirit God King, causing his aura to surge once more.
This scene chilled countless living beings to the bone; trillions of lives were lost!
Su Chen recognized the being crushed to death by the Spirit God King. In his previous life, he had caught a glimpse of it and was certain that figure was secretly plotting everything in the Western Regions... but he never imagined that such a terrifying being would be so easily crushed by the Spirit God King.
The Spirit God King's aura grew even more terrifying, so terrifying that it could engulf everything, infinitely approaching the level of a Great Emperor.
"The legends are true... the legends are indeed true!"
"Our Tianxuan Domain was formed from the body of a mighty being from an ancient era!"
An ancestor of an ancient clan in the Central Continent, upon seeing the arm merged with the Spirit God King, seemed to remember something and cried out suddenly.
An old Quasi-Emperor from the Central Continent Imperial Palace sensed the commotion, left the palace, and upon seeing the Spirit God King, his eyes widened in horror: "It's you! You're still alive!"
The Spirit God King laughed: "Old thing, you can't stop me!"
"I will eventually reclaim everything that belongs to me!"
The Spirit God King stood with his hands behind his back, the supreme Dao suppressing the universe, the most terrifying power in the cosmos converging upon him.
The Tribulation of Becoming an Emperor!
Even with only a partial restoration of his body, the Spirit God King had attracted the Tribulation of Becoming an Emperor, about to undergo tribulation to become an Emperor!
"We absolutely cannot let this person become an Emperor!"
At the end of the Path to Emperorhood, the powerful figures from the Tianxuan Domain, witnessing this scene, made up their minds!
The Spirit God King wanted to refine the entire Tianxuan Domain; they naturally wouldn't allow it.
The Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone were terrified upon seeing this.
"We absolutely cannot let this person become an Emperor... otherwise, an unprecedented Great Emperor will be born, living a second... a third life... how will we survive?"
The Spirit God King, sensing the killing intent around him, laughed loudly: "A bunch of ants, trying to stop me from becoming an Emperor!"
"Wishful thinking!"
The beings of the Heavenly Profound Domain felt a chill in their hearts upon seeing the Spirit God King's actions. If the Spirit God King survived, they would not.
More and more powerful beings joined the siege of the Spirit God King, trying to stop him from becoming an Emperor before his terrifying tribulation descended!
Saints were like ants, and there were dozens of Quasi-Emperors.
Even Supreme Beings intervened.
In the ensuing battle, countless stars shattered.
Just as the Spirit God King's tribulation to become an emperor was about to end, a figure that seemed to pierce through time and space suddenly emerged from an ancient forbidden zone. While the Spirit God King was distracted, dealing with both the tribulation and numerous powerful figures, the figure launched a sneak attack.
Half of the Spirit God King's body was shattered in a single blow, and the hand bone that had been fused together was dragged away by the figure.
Recovering, the Spirit God King roared at the figure, "Zhou Guang! You dare to ambush me!"
The Supreme Being who had attacked the Spirit God King was shocked; he hadn't expected the Spirit God King to recognize him.
The many ancient powerful figures were horrified. Zhou Guang... this was the title of an incomparably powerful emperor from ancient times, and he was still alive.
Seeing Supreme Being Zhou Guang vanish into the depths of space, the other Supreme Beings swarmed forward, wanting to kill the Spirit God King. At this moment, many Quasi-Emperors who had initially attacked the Spirit God King, wielding supreme imperial weapons, switched sides to the Supreme Beings.
