Chapter 123: Witnesses of the Times (Part 20)

Su Chen's face was pale.
Looking at the Spirit God King's fate, he murmured to himself, "One really shouldn't be too arrogant."
The Spirit God King's strength was truly terrifying.
After fusing with a piece of his hand bone, he was probably no weaker than an unorthodox Daoist, comparable to a Supreme Being.
But... he was far too arrogant.
One person actually dared to challenge the strongest beings in the entire universe!
Defeat was his inevitable fate.
More than ten Quasi-Emperors, wielding Imperial Weapons, forced back the heavily injured Supreme Being and slew the unwilling Spirit God King.
This battle... resulted in too many deaths. Even the old Quasi-Emperor of the Imperial Palace perished in this battle. The sound of weeping echoed from the direction of the Imperial Palace. The death of the old Quasi-Emperor signified the decline of the Imperial Palace's era.
After the battle, the Tribulation of Becoming an Emperor did not disappear.
"Someone... has become an Emperor!"
The Tribulation of Becoming an Emperor descended, and everyone saw the figure bathed in lightning.
"It's you... How could it be you?"
Lin Zhan roared in unwilling fury. He was also a quasi-emperor; given another thousand years, he might be the one to achieve enlightenment!
At this moment, Lin Zhan's body emitted a black aura. After wielding a hand that had flattened a star field, he chose to escape into a forbidden zone.
Wang Yunfei returned to the Tianxuan Domain.
"I will seal myself away, awaiting the beginning of the next great era... This great era is not because I cannot become an emperor, but because the time is not waiting for me."
After explaining everything to the Wang family and entrusting them to Su Chen, Wang Yunfei returned to the Imperial Palace and, together with Fan Qingyin, sealed himself away, awaiting the beginning of the next great era!
The supreme beings of the forbidden zones seemed to have been thoroughly tormented, as none of them emerged.
However, it makes sense. Four were killed by the Divine Emperor, one was severely injured, and two fled. In the battle with the Spirit God King, two newly emerged Supreme Beings were also severely injured. The only one who benefited, the Cosmic Light Supreme Being, who seized the Spirit God King's hand bone, disappeared without a trace, seemingly wary of something.
These were all Supreme Beings whose lifespans were nearing their end, forced to fight to the death. The other Supreme Beings, if they were more frugal, might have lived for hundreds of thousands, even millions of years. There was no need for them to fight a newly ascended Emperor to the death.
If they didn't win, they would suffer.
"Fang Bubai... he actually became an Emperor!"
Su Chen was both surprised and, ironically, expected.
Besides the Spirit God King, Fang Bubai's cultivation was closest to the peak of Quasi-Emperor, and he gained the most from the battle with the Spirit God King.
As the tribulation lightning disappeared, a new Great Dao rose in the universe, suppressing everything.
"Congratulations to the Invincible Emperor on ascending to the Emperor's Path!"
Since the Ancient Era, the thirty-fourth Emperor has appeared!
The most jubilant were the Prison-Suppressing Holy Land of the Eastern Tianxuan Region... With Fang Bubai's attainment of the Dao in this life, wouldn't they now possess the lineage of Emperors?
After achieving the Dao, Fang Bubai traveled to many places. With an Emperor in the world, none of the myriad races of the universe dared disobey.
Finally, Fang Bubai returned to the Tianxuan Region.
The myriad races of heaven and earth returned to peace once more.
In this life, an extremely terrifying Dark Turmoil erupted, involving a handful of Supreme Beings. Surprisingly, the emergence of such a handful of Supreme Beings did not cause the extinction of all life. The number of deaths and injuries was the fewest among all the Dark Turmoil events!
Eight hundred years later, Su Chen's cultivation reached the peak of the Saint realm.
Su Chen resigned from his position as head of the Wang family, and his most outstanding descendant succeeded him.
The Wang family's Saint King was growing old and had to seek an opportunity to break through to the Saint King realm.
Another eight hundred years passed, and Su Chen successfully broke through to the Saint King realm.
The Saint King realm grants a lifespan of eight thousand years. Although this extended his lifespan by three thousand years, Su Chen knew that with his talent, he would likely never have another chance to break through to the Great Saint realm.
After breaking through to the Saint King realm, Su Chen returned to the Wang family. The last Saint King of the Wang family had reached the end of his life, choosing to venture into the forbidden zone of life to fight, never to emerge again, his soul lamp extinguished.
The changes in the Tianxuan Domain were also immense. Due to Fang Bubai's influence, the Tianxuan Domain became an Imperial Domain, becoming the center of the universe, while the Eastern Domain replaced the Central Continent as the most powerful domain.
Su Chen traveled to the Eastern Region, where almost all his old acquaintances were dead or wounded. However, Ling Wuyai of the Heavenly Ruins Holy Land survived several upheavals and was now the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Ruins Holy Land, a Saint King level expert. The old friends reunited and chatted happily.
Several months later, Su Chen left the Heavenly Ruins Holy Land for the Southern Region. The once-powerful Heavenly Sword Holy Land had not produced a single Saint in this great era, and its former territory had been seized, disappearing into the annals of history.
Su Chen arrived at this newly risen Holy Land, making no attempt to conceal his Saint King aura, causing a Saint to appear trembling with fear.
"My lord, what brings you here?"
Su Chen said, "I have a past connection with the former Heavenly Sword Holy Land. Was it you who destroyed the Heavenly Sword Holy Land?"
These words terrified the Saint, who turned pale and trembled with fear.
Su Chen smiled: "I appreciate the hardships you've endured in your cultivation. If you hand over the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, I will find a successor for it, and that will not be considered a breach of our past friendship."
The saint dared not refuse, even knowing that Su Chen was openly robbing him. Forced by the pressure of a Saint King, he had no choice but to compromise!
