Chapter 215: Imperial Decree Thirty-One (Gift Value +3)

The Underworld was in turmoil.
The current Emperor had arrived in the Underworld to settle old scores and had even forcefully killed one of the Underworld's strongest figures.
Even with the resources to contend with the current Emperor, the Underworld dared not easily retaliate.
They knew they were in the wrong.
"This matter was our fault, and we will investigate thoroughly."
The Underworld backed down.
Faced with a young and ambitious Emperor,
they were unwilling to fight to the death.
Even if it meant losing a key figure.
Su Chen looked at the four of them, and their scalps tingled with fear.
Fortunately, Su Chen had no intention of continuing his attack. He didn't completely eradicate the Underworld; he merely produced a list.
"Hand over the mastermind..."
Upon seeing the words on the list, the four Underworld's supreme experts' expressions changed drastically. However, they gritted their teeth and continued reading.
"Three Imperial Scriptures... 100,000 Scriptures... Thirty Divine Herbs..."
"No..."
One of the supreme experts was furious and about to refuse when he looked up and saw eyes devoid of any emotion.
A chill ran down his spine.
Standing before them was a true Emperor... They were going to bargain with a contemporary Emperor?
The fact that a contemporary Emperor was willing to spare their lives was already an act of imperial mercy.
The four Underworld's supreme experts, suppressing their inner turmoil, agreed. This time, the Underworld was destined to suffer a great loss.
Su Chen left the Underworld.
This led everyone to speculate that the Underworld would likely pay a heavy price this time!
Su Chen did not annihilate the Underworld.
His strength had been weakened by the continuous destruction of numerous forces.
However, Su Chen was not in a hurry.
He was still young, with another hundred thousand years to live.
Su Chen had always been magnanimous, and as for things like an Emperor's promise...
However, he seemed to have never promised to spare the Underworld if it obediently handed over its resources.
Su Chen returned to the Ye family.
A continuous stream of resources was sent to the Ye family.
The immense quantity of resources filled the entire small world of the Ye family, making the Ye family elders ecstatic.
Su Chen didn't care about the resources themselves. At the level of a Great Emperor, apart from resources like the Undying Elixir, other cultivation resources were of no use to someone of his level. However, Su Chen was quite concerned about the Emperor Scripture and the Secret Scroll, as they were related to his path to perfecting himself in this life.
Within the Ye family's small world
Memories of the Great Emperors surfaced one by one in Su Chen's mind.
"What is this? A Great Emperor's Guide?"
Each Great Emperor, rather than representing a realm, is more like a monarch chosen by the will of the universe from the fierce battles among the geniuses and prodigies of all races. They wield supreme power, and the Great Emperor's power is linked to the prosperity of all races in the universe.
They need to maintain the balance among the various races, ensuring the emergence of more races in this universe, achieving unparalleled glory and fierce competition for the Great Dao before the arrival of the Dharma-Ending Era, so that they can become stronger.
However, that era might indeed be the Dharma-Ending Era.
This monarch's term is 100,000 years. If they possess an elixir of immortality, or can live a second or third life, their term will be extended.
Next are the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones, and those from the Forbidden Zones...
The Supreme Beings of Forbidden Zones are a cancer on the universe, occupying its place, stubbornly refusing to die. When a Great Emperor slays a Supreme Being, he achieves great merit, and the Supreme Being's power returns to the universe after death. The universe, in turn, nourishes the Great Emperor of the current era. The more Supreme Beings killed, the stronger the Great Emperor becomes… This made Su Chen think that the number of Supreme Beings who died at the hands of the Myriad Saints Emperor already exceeded two hands' worth; how terrifying must his strength be? Unfortunately… he never got to fight.
In this era, Great Emperors are destined to be lonely.
As for the Forbidden Zones inhabited by the Supreme Beings, they are the cancers among cancers. The original universe could accommodate two, three, or even more Great Emperors, but these Forbidden Zone Supreme Beings fragmented the universe, forcibly creating independent microcosms, essentially establishing themselves as kings, resulting in incomplete laws of heaven and earth, only able to accommodate a maximum of one Great Emperor.
And this is the Great Emperor's mission.
To become stronger, to advance further, to transcend!
Su Chen understood why the Great Emperors relentlessly pursued the forbidden zones, treating all races equally regardless of their origin.
This was related to their own path to enlightenment!
Even so, since the Mythical Era, transcendence had become an unattainable legend for countless martial artists. Even waiting lifetime after lifetime within the forbidden zones yielded no concrete answer. They sought to create a different path, yet their very existence was an obstacle to all living beings!
Su Chen understood everything.
He began to disassemble the obtained imperial weapons, reforging the Flying Immortal Tower and the Hundred Battles Golden Armor, restoring them to their perfect state.
The Flying Immortal Tower was left in the Hall of Myriad Laws, while the Hundred Battles Golden Armor was returned to the Ye family ancestral land for nurturing.
Su Chen began to study the remaining imperial scriptures, completing his own path.
Three thousand years passed.
Three million scriptures, ten imperial scriptures, were integrated into the Myriad Laws Imperial Scripture by Su Chen.
His strength had grown even greater.
Su Chen left the Ye family.
His footprints can be found in all the major powers of the universe. He began to 'visit' various Dao lineages, seeking the wisdom of all beings. Among them were former rivals and old friends.
Tianxuan Domain
Su Chen hadn't returned to the Tianxuan Domain for a long time. The Tianxuan Domain had changed drastically. The Zhenyu Holy Land... no, it should now be called the Zhenyu Imperial Palace, had become the most powerful force in the Tianxuan Domain, and the Fang family... had become the imperial lineage of the Zhenyu Imperial Palace.
This ending was already quite good, but too many forces had disappeared into the long river of time, their former sites becoming unfamiliar names... Qingyu Holy Land, Tianxu Holy Land... these ancient lineages had all vanished.
Western Regions: Su Chen revisited his old haunts but found no trace of his former acquaintances. He then headed to the Central Continent.
Central Continent: The Wang family had never been extinguished, rising and falling, even producing a Great Saint in a great era. Wang Yunfei did not return to the Wang family; his old friends had passed away, and he belonged to the Nine Luminaries Imperial Palace.
Inside the Nine Luminaries Imperial Palace
If Wang Yunfei were given a second chance,
he wouldn't choose to challenge a Great Emperor!
He regretted it.
Su Chen showed no mercy; Wang Yunfei could only be relentlessly beaten like a punching bag. The experts of the Nine Luminaries Imperial Palace held their breath and lowered their heads at this sight.
Wang Yunfei crawled up from the ruins.
"A Great Completion Martial God Body, truly extraordinary,"
Su Chen couldn't help but admire.
After becoming a Great Emperor, such sparring was rare.
Wang Yunfei's face darkened.
He always felt Su Chen harbored ill intentions. Remembering the thought of challenging Su Chen, Wang Yunfei decided that even if he had to wander into the forbidden zone, he would never challenge a Great Emperor!
Being used as a punching bag, with no chance of fighting back!
For the next few years, Su Chen never saw Wang Yunfei whenever he visited the Nine Luminaries Imperial Palace, which greatly disappointed him.
He left the Heavenly Profound Domain and headed to the Azure Nether Dao Domain.
At this moment, the Azure Nether Dao Domain was filled with rising auras, and countless powerful figures were gathering.
Su Chen stopped, not displaying the aura of a Great Emperor, and looked up into the distance.
The Azure Nether Dao Domain... was launching a counterattack against the Profound Nether Demon Domain. These two powerful domains, after tens of thousands of years, were still locked in a continuous war.
