Chapter 184: The Demon Lord of Slaughter (The End)

The Emperor's Tribulation manifested as the imprints left by former Great Emperors on their path to enlightenment, their auras surging, attempting to kill Su Chen at this final step, preventing him from achieving his ultimate leap!
Three! Three avatars of former Great Emperors before their enlightenment appeared at once. One was an Emperor from an unimaginably ancient era, and the other was one of the thirty-four Emperors of this era. In any era, a being capable of attaining the Dao and becoming an Emperor is not to be underestimated!
Su Chen's Killing God Demon Embryo, cultivated to its peak, was unleashed without reservation at this moment.
"It's the aura of the Killing Emperor... It's actually the Killing Emperor's successor attaining enlightenment!"
An ancient Supreme Being recognized the Dao Su Chen cultivated—the terrifying Path of Slaughter. The Killing Emperor dared to claim he could assassinate an Emperor, precisely because of his self-created Killing God Demon Embryo, growing all the way to the end, his hands stained with the blood of fellow Emperor-level powerhouses!
Now, countless years have passed.
The Killing Emperor's successor has cultivated the Killing God Demon Embryo to its peak, standing out among the geniuses of all ages, and has already transcended the Emperor's Tribulation.
In the universe, a powerful being murmured, "Won't the Temple of Slaughter produce another Great Emperor...? If so, this universe will once again be a colossus!"
A dual-Emperor lineage... such a foundation, even amidst the Dark Turmoil and the resurgence of Supreme Beings, would not dare to provoke it lightly!
Su Chen's blood and flesh were scattered across the starry sky. Facing the combined attack of three former Dao-achievers, even with his fully developed Slaughter God Demon Embryo and Primordial Spirit Divine Body, he was no match. Just as Su Chen was in dire straits, he dared not hold back, directly unleashing the 'Battle' Technique, his aura instantly surging.
"This guy... he actually has a trump card up his sleeve!"
Many Supreme Beings were astonished.
Su Chen underestimated these former Dao-achievers. Their strength far exceeded Su Chen's imagination. Even a one-on-one fight was extremely difficult, let alone a three-on-one situation. The Heavenly Emperor's 'Battle' Technique was his greatest trump card, originally intended to be used after becoming an Emperor, to unleash its power and escape the pursuit of Supreme Beings, perhaps even to kill one or two.
Unfortunately... Su Chen transformed into a giant of golden blood light, once again battling the marks left behind by the three former Dao-achievers. This battle shattered the heavens and earth, day after day, lasting an unknown amount of time. This was the most arduous battle of his life; his body was shattered, his blood nearly dried up, and he had used most of his former techniques.
The bodies of the three Dao-achiever marks were shattered by Su Chen, turning to dust. A beam of light swept across the entire universe. At that moment... the entire cosmos trembled!
Su Chen had passed his final test; he was about to become an Emperor. But at this final moment, no one wanted him to succeed!
Just as he was about to reach perfection, several forbidden zones moved. More than one Supreme Being attacked, intending to dismember Su Chen!
Su Chen dragged his mangled body. He didn't have time to reassemble himself. Those Supreme Beings of the forbidden zones wouldn't give him that chance. This would be his final tribulation; he had to overcome it!
Su Chen was severely injured, his physical body shattered into pieces. The laws governing his powerful physique were being devoured by the Supreme Beings, who were feasting on him to replenish their depleted blood and energy!
"Not good! We've fallen into a trap!"
One of the Supreme Beings suddenly realized something was wrong. The vitality and Dao laws within this body were vastly inferior to those of a Great Emperor, like heaven and earth!
"It's an alternative path to enlightenment! That junior is using a clever escape technique!"
One of the Supreme Beings' expressions changed drastically. He seemed to have realized something and said fiercely, "Quickly, find him! He must not have left yet. Perhaps he's hiding somewhere, completing his final transformation!"
That's right, Su Chen wasn't dead. His physical body was merely bait. The inheritance of the Killing Emperor... using the soul to prove the Dao, Su Chen abandoned his physical body, leaving it for the Supreme Beings to dismember, buying time while he himself slipped away to complete his final transformation.
But at that moment, time and space seemed to freeze. Su Chen sensed something was wrong and cursed angrily, "These old bastards are really troublesome!"
He vowed fiercely in his heart that he would eradicate these cancerous growths sooner or later!
A massive hand, transcending time and space and carrying countless killing patterns, attacked Su Chen. This was a Supreme Being of terrifying power, blocking Su Chen's escape path, preparing to kill and refine him!
Su Chen's Killing God Demon Embryo erupted with boundless killing intent once more, colliding with the giant hand. The terrifying shockwave instantly annihilated heaven and earth. Su Chen fled into the void, heading towards the other side of the universe. However, the supreme being hidden in the shadows seemed to regard him as prey, relentlessly pursuing him. The energy of the universe began to surge towards Su Chen, seemingly aiding him. But Su Chen had no chance to undergo a transformation. He hid in desolate lands, deathly deserts, the Sea of ​​Destruction… without exception, his formidable enemy discovered him, and a great battle ensued.
Finally, one day, Su Chen felt within his body a power that seemed capable of controlling the entire universe, far stronger than he had been before achieving enlightenment.
Sensing the change within himself, Su Chen's gaze turned icy. He turned and faced his formidable enemy directly, no longer concealing his aura!
The sudden turn of events terrified the many Supreme Beings: "Has he already successfully crossed the final threshold? We've arrived too late after all!"
However, a ruthless figure declared, "What's there to fear? Even if he crosses the final step, he's only just become an Emperor. You've completely offended him now. Once he overcomes this tribulation, how will you all find peace?"
These words dispelled the fears of some Supreme Beings. The Myriad Saints Emperor was a cautionary tale. If another figure like the Myriad Saints Emperor were to emerge, they dared not imagine what would happen; even if they could only endure, they could outlast some of the Supreme Beings.
"Then kill him!"
The Supreme Beings attacked again. The moment they clashed with Su Chen, both Su Chen and the Supreme Beings' expressions changed drastically.
"Not good... He has overcome the final tribulation, but he is not a true 'Emperor'!"
Su Chen's soul shattered, utterly weakened. The power that once surpassed all living beings was suddenly suppressed.
This dramatic reversal left the crowd stunned. They seemed to realize something and looked in a certain direction.
A supreme aura once again reigned supreme over the entire universe, easily suppressing the paths of all living beings. The transition from a golden age to the end of the Dharma era was merely a thought away for that terrifying figure!
"Emperor of Ten Thousand Saints...you really are not dead! You unleashed the power of heaven and earth, trying to buy yourself time with the new emperor, to live a second life...Damn it, we've all been deceived! The injuries you sustained in that battle were far too severe!"
An ancient supreme being roared, filled with regret.
"Your cowardice caused you to miss the only chance to kill me, the Emperor. This time... it's my turn to hunt you down!"
A terrifying imperial seal blotted out the starry sky.
Looking at that invincible figure, Su Chen smiled bitterly... His millennia-long scheme had ultimately benefited someone else!
The passage of time can always change a person. Witnessing the passing of loved ones and friends one by one, the once innocent youth had become a true 'Emperor'.
Su Chen closed his eyes. He had been tricked; his injuries were too severe... His Demonic Embryo, shattered by numerous supreme beings, was now exhausted.
