Chapter 220: The Undying Underworld Emperor (Part 1)

Within the Reversal of Fate Space
Su Chen was somewhat dazed.
In this life, he had lived a full ten thousand years, reigning supreme over the universe, suppressing everything, revered by all races, and clearing away countless obstacles.
Even on his deathbed, he had lured out a formidable enemy.
The Supreme Being of the Universe, who had severely injured him and devoured his flesh when he attained enlightenment using the Demonic Embryo of the God of Slaughter, and who had also severely injured the Spirit God King when he attained enlightenment. This was an extremely dangerous figure; Su Chen had traversed numerous forbidden zones without finding a trace of him.
Only after Su Chen's death did he dare to appear.
Unfortunately, Su Chen left a final trick within the Imperial Tomb, luring out this cunning old monster who had lured him out for countless years, sealing him within the tomb, and perishing together.
[In your fourteenth life, you were born into a great imperial family, possessing unparalleled talent from a young age. You had the Celestial Body of a Flying Immortal, the Myriad Laws Heavenly Eye, and an imperial destiny. At a young age, you displayed an astonishingly fast cultivation speed, even attracting the attention of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master who spent a great deal to steal secrets of heaven, revealing the words 'Imperial Destiny.' You were hailed as destined for enlightenment.
In your youth, you displayed unparalleled talent, defeating numerous prodigies and gaining followers. The name of the Ye Family's Imperial Son resounded throughout all races. Even terrifying beings feared you and sought to eliminate you prematurely, but ultimately, you escaped danger and returned to the Ye Family to begin your cultivation. Before the age of thirty, you became a Saint, breaking the cultivation speed record set since the ancient era, and leading many followers onto the path of the Emperor.]
On the Emperor's Path, you were invincible, encountering no rivals along the way. Even the powerful beings deep within the Emperor's Path who severed their cultivation were swiftly slain by you. Using this as a foundation, you established a new force on the Emperor's Path: the Hall of Myriad Laws. In less than three thousand years, you reached the depths of the Emperor's Path, where the universe's most elite forbidden geniuses resided. Here, you encountered a formidable enemy who feared you. Unfortunately, in the final battle, you seized the opportunity to forge your own path, forcefully slaying your foes and entering the Ancient Emperor Realm to seek opportunities, thus establishing your invincible legend.
Within the Ancient Emperor Realm, you sought opportunities, scheming against numerous heroes, using a witch to divert everyone's attention. When the Emperor's Path closed, you returned to the Ye family to cultivate. You encountered an old acquaintance, the invincible Emperor, but he had aged. An aged Emperor filled you with dread, yet ultimately, he did not attack you. You watched him leave, desperately seeking the path to transcendence, ultimately perishing. You knew that another old friend had departed.
The fall of the Emperor triggered a sudden and devastating upheaval that lasted for centuries, causing immense suffering and loss of life. You sought a glimmer of imperial power and began your seclusion. However, the Holy Light Supreme learned that his offspring had died at your hands and was determined to avenge them at all costs. You were forced to emerge from seclusion to fight. Clad in the Ye family's Hundred Battles Golden Armor and wielding the Flying Immortal Tower, with two flawless imperial weapons and your perfected Flying Immortal Body, you were able to contend with the Supreme. You forced the Holy Light Supreme to undergo a profound transformation. You were severely injured but did not die. Instead, you took your final step, breaking the suppression of heaven and earth and defying the heavens to become an Emperor. Your contingency plans helped you withstand the great enemy. Countless heroes and heroes perished in this unprecedented calamity. No other race desired that humanity would produce another Emperor.
But...in the end, you plunged into the river of time, your body undergoing a transformation. At the critical moment of life and death, the Myriad Laws Emperor Sutra was completed, and your physique began to evolve. You fought against the five Great Emperor Imprints, fearless of death, seizing your last chance to slay them. You became a true Great Emperor, settling scores with your former enemies!
You annihilated the Supreme Being, destroyed the Myriad Dragon Cave, and destroyed the remnants of the Great Emperors' souls. You intimidated the gods, establishing the Great Emperor's name, revered by all races, who dared not offend you. You entered forbidden zones, your footprints traversing the universe. You were truly invincible, yet also too lonely. Over countless years, you watched your old acquaintances slowly age and die, or perhaps you sealed them away with your own hands. You understood that even a Great Emperor, powerful as he was, was merely the starting point of martial arts. You began to plot, seeking opportunities, learning many secrets, and observing the rise and fall of countless races throughout the ages.
You grew old, unable to live a second life. Your expression was serene, unattached to life and death. You built an imperial tomb to bury your body, but... you left behind numerous methods, even in death annihilating a supreme being hidden for millennia.
Your life in this world was legendary, sung by all races, reigning supreme for ten thousand years, invincible throughout the universe, one of the most astonishing names of all time. Even countless lifetimes later, your name will still linger, and your deeds will continue to be told.
Rating: Gold Two-Star
Reward: 200,000 Fate-Defying Points
This time, the golden light on the Book of Fate-Defying was even more intense. A supreme emperor...
"Even an emperor only needs two hundred thousand Fate-Defying Points?"
In this life, he spent one hundred and fifty thousand Fate-Defying Points.
Su Chen felt that obtaining ratings in this world was becoming increasingly difficult. No matter how much influence a universe had, the Fate-Defying Points he could obtain were perhaps limited. If he continued to use all his Fate-Defying Points, he would only be trapped in this cycle.
He had to accumulate Reversal Points! Su Chen believed that beyond this universe, there must be beings even more powerful than the Great Emperors; the existence of the Immortal Tree in the Jade Pool Holy Land was proof of this.
With his rating nearly at its limit, Su Chen began to consider how to maximize his Reversal Points.
Going all in was definitely not an option. Lifetimes of Great Emperors, without powerful talent to break through the boundary, would ultimately amount to nothing, only a vicious cycle.
Su Chen could only choose to focus on increasing a specific talent.
Talent… In his previous life, he possessed the Immortal Body and ascended to the Great Emperor realm, but his comprehension was lacking, preventing him from living a second life, let alone surpassing all the Great Emperors of the past and present, and reaching Transcendence. Two hundred thousand Reversal Points might increase his talent, but it wouldn't be enough for Transcendence.
Family background… He might be reborn into the Upper Realm, but… a useless young master among the Immortal Clan?
No, Su Chen felt there was a high chance he'd be randomly thrown into some minor universe by a powerful clan from the Upper Realm. While he'd enjoy wealth and luxury, he'd be unable to transcend worldly constraints, perhaps even losing his Fate-Defying Points and starting all over again—a losing proposition.
The only safe, guaranteed profit option was comprehension. By perfecting his path through comprehension, he created the Myriad Laws Emperor Scripture. Even with insufficient aptitude, he could forge the Myriad Laws Dao Body, suppressing all enemies!
Without aptitude, family background became a burden.
Su Chen made his choice.
Aptitude: 1
Comprehension: 100,000
Family Background: 1
Mental State: 50,000
The Fifteenth Incarnation, Activated
...
In a jungle
Su Chen opened his eyes, looking around.
He discovered something terrible.
He seemed...no longer human!
This was no joke.
He really wasn't human anymore.
His dark wings prompted Su Chen to look at his reflection in the water.
"I seem...to have become a crow?"
