Chapter 204: Imperial Decree (Part 20)

Watching his teammates fall one after another, the True Phoenix of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain was nearly terrified.
Instant kill!
He wanted to beg for mercy.
But no sound came out.
Su Chen showed no mercy, killing him instantly!
"Huh?"
Su Chen's Myriad Laws Heavenly Eye flashed. The True Phoenix of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain was dead, but its aura hadn't disappeared.
"An interesting method!"
Su Chen crouched before the True Phoenix's corpse, the Nirvana Flame burning, actually trying to give the already dead True Phoenix a second life!
"It is said that the True Phoenix clan possesses the secret of Nirvana within its bloodline. Even in death, there is a chance to successfully undergo Nirvana and be reborn a second time!"
The True Phoenix's Nirvana is very subtle; even if the corpse disappears into the world, it can still successfully undergo Nirvana.
If it weren't for his sensitive soul and the Myriad Laws Heavenly Eye, he might not have been able to detect it.
For a century, Su Chen guarded the True Phoenix, comprehending the mysteries of its rebirth. During this time, he vaguely grasped some profound secrets, which he named the Nirvana Scripture, hoping it might offer a chance for rebirth!
"Why are you still here?"
The True Phoenix had successfully undergone Nirvana, but was frozen in place. It saw a familiar face—the killing god. He hadn't gone to the final trial!
"No...I hate it!"
The True Phoenix was dead. Having just undergone Nirvana, it was instantly annihilated by Su Chen's sword.
This scene chilled many forces to the bone. A figure like the Ye family's imperial prince was truly terrifying. Even the True Phoenix's Nirvana couldn't escape the Ye family's imperial prince's pursuit. He had waited a century, determined to eliminate it completely!
After dealing with the True Phoenix, Su Chen chose to continue to the final trial... There, the most terrifying enemy awaited him. Going there would inevitably lead to a great battle.
Su Chen didn't let Ji Changkong accompany him to the final level. His strength was insufficient to intervene in that great battle!
Entering the final stage, Su Chen felt the world suddenly open up, immortal light surged within him, and the restrictions on him as a Quasi-Emperor were loosening. Throughout history, most Great Emperors were born from the beings here!
He was to undergo his Quasi-Emperor Tribulation here!
This place appeared devoid of life.
However, Su Chen could sense countless terrifying gazes fixed on him. Some were filled with interest, waiting to see a spectacle unfold; others were filled with murderous intent, certain that he would be the one to face this after he passed the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation; still others wore expressions of admiration and anticipation, as if watching a fellow cultivator about to appear!
The Quasi-Emperor Tribulation naturally couldn't harm Su Chen. In just ten years, Su Chen had leaped from the peak of the Great Saint to the Quasi-Emperor, becoming one of the most powerful beings under this starry sky. He was still less than three thousand years old...
Having passed the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation, Su Chen's expression turned solemn. Passing the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation was only the beginning; another tribulation was yet to come!
At the ancient end, a figure manifested, like an unparalleled god-emperor, seated high in the heavens, his name chanted throughout the land.
The Lord of the Heavenly Palace, Emperor Shitian!
Endless chains of Dao principles formed a path. Emperor Shitian looked at Su Chen and said, "I said, if you could reach the final trial, I would personally slay you!"
Auspicious omens descended from the heavens. The Qilin True Lord of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain emerged, his aura overwhelming, clashing with Emperor Shitian: "This... is my prey!"
Di Shitian opened his third divine eye between his brows, as if the Dao of Heaven had descended, filled with murderous intent. The Qilin True Lord, however, showed no sign of retreat, manifesting his true Qilin form, his demonic aura overwhelming.
Both belonged to the forbidden realm.
A dark red longsword flashed out, endless demonic energy surging forth, transforming into a terrifying figure.
“The human race will not allow another Emperor to appear!”
The Lord of the Demon God Palace appeared.
Three forbidden beings were actually going to attack the same person; such a scene had not been seen for countless years.
“The human race will not allow another Emperor to appear? Truly laughable!”
The laws trembled, and a graceful figure slowly walked from the other end, the Great Dao spreading beneath her feet, permeating with an aura of destruction and rebirth.
“It's you? Nangong Yunshu?”
“How could you possibly still appear on the Emperor's Road...you've lived a second life!”
The three forbidden beings were all surprised, and even the many forbidden geniuses who were preparing to witness the outbreak of a great battle were astonished.
Nangong Yunshu showed no signs of aging; her aura was terrifying. She... had indeed forged a second path on the road to emperorship while on the verge of death!
Su Chen's gaze flickered slightly.
Nangong Yunshu chose to stand on Su Chen's side.
"Even if you were still alive, it wouldn't change the outcome. You are ultimately just two people!"
The Demon Lord of the Demon Palace's killing intent remained undiminished.
The human race has already produced four emperors, and there's even a second-generation emperor. If five emperors were to emerge, what way would the myriad races have?
"No, there are three people."
Deep within the Emperor's Road, a golden light transformed into a heaven-reaching avenue. A figure clad in golden robes, radiating supreme majesty, emerged. His bearing was imposing, his domineering presence unparalleled. Looking at the three races, he said calmly, "If it were a one-on-one battle, I wouldn't interfere. But if you think the human race has no one on the Emperor's Road, I will personally snap your head off."
The human race has three powerhouses who have reached the forbidden level!
Six terrifying auras surged within.
“Wang Yunfei!”
A hateful voice echoed from the depths, causing Wang Yunfei to raise an eyebrow. He said calmly, “You hate me, you despise me, but you’re nothing but a defeated opponent. Someone like you dares to compete for imperial talent? If you emerge, I’ll slaughter you all!”
He had defeated far too many beings. He had even hunted down forbidden beings. He cared nothing for those who fell to him; he would sweep away all enemies and achieve enlightenment in this lifetime!
“Three against three, no need to worry about opponents now.”
The Demon Lord of the Demon God Palace smiled, easing the tension between Di Shitian and the Qilin True Lord. Three equally matched opponents ignited their fighting spirit; none of them wanted to see another Great Emperor emerge from the human race.
“Then choose your opponents!”
Di Shitian’s third eye fixed on Su Chen. Their auras collided, causing chaos to surge as two unparalleled auras clashed.
Without hesitation, the Qilin True Lord charged directly at Nangong Yunshu!
"Interesting, you actually left the most troublesome one for me... Qilin, you bastard!"
The Demon Lord of the Demon God Palace revealed a bloodthirsty smile as he looked at Wang Yunfei's figure, showing no fear, only an indescribable excitement!
The Demon Blade pierced through endless world space, directly slashing towards Wang Yunfei!
Six forbidden beings clashed in battle, their auras even spreading from the Emperor's Road, shaking the universe!
It's terrifying. Everyone harbors the hope of becoming an emperor, yet now a life-or-death battle has erupted, a true clash of titans.
On that distant shore, a withered figure indifferently observes all of this.
