Chapter 271: Transcendence in This Lifetime (Twenty-Seven)

Su Chen returned to his original universe.
This was his foundation.
Two million years had passed since he left.
Two million years was far too long; too many familiar faces had vanished.
“Emperor…Emperor, it really is you who has returned!”
Of his original followers, only a handful remained.
A phoenix, becoming an emperor, then severing its own life.
Two lifetimes of rebirth.
Becoming one of the greatest terrors in the world.
At this moment, this supreme powerhouse who terrified all beings wept tears of joy.
“Emperor, it’s the Emperor! He’s returned!”
Thriller beings emerged throughout the universe.
Each of them was an unparalleled powerhouse.
Yet, they all submitted to one man.
The reigning emperor trembled in fear.
“Could it be…that legend is true?”
Two million years had passed.
Su Chen had become a legend.
Two million years.
The legendary being who had supposedly transcended death had returned once more.
With a single thought, Su Chen brought the entire universe under his control.
He casually pulled out a hidden elixir of immortality.
He sealed Qin Wujie away.
With the elixir of immortality, Qin Wujie might be able to live a third life.
Su Chen searched the entire original universe.
He found no trace of Di Chan and Chi Yao.
He used the Time Wheel to find traces of Di Chan and Chi Yao from the past.
"They've transcended death too?"
Su Chen: "..."
Di Chan and Chi Yao had vanished without a trace.
However, both women were Great Emperors with ninth-level aptitude. Even if they had just entered the second tribulation, the two women working together would likely be difficult for even a third tribulation ruler to handle.
Su Chen began refining Wang Potian's cosmic 'heart'.
Wang Potian was a fifth tribulation ruler, naturally incredibly powerful.
Su Chen began refining...
Time flies like an arrow, spring, summer, autumn, and winter cycle endlessly.
One after another, brilliant talents emerge.
Most, like fleeting blossoms, wither and fade.
A small number, seeking the truth, venture into terrifying lands.
The Imperial Court gradually declines with time.
The once-powerful Myriad Laws Imperial Sect, however, produces one powerful figure after another.
Until one day.
An unparalleled emperor appears in the universe, calling himself Qingyuan. He has passed through seven imperial tribulations, surpassing all emperors recorded in the past four million years.
His power overwhelms the universe, suppressing forbidden zones with a single hand; his strength is terrifying and boundless.
He is invincible.
He watches one loved one after another perish.
He begins to explore the secrets of heaven and earth, seeking a path to transcendence.
He enters the land searching for the ruins of the ancient Imperial Court.
He finds the ruins of the ancient Imperial Court.
Emperor Qingyuan is overwhelmed with emotion.
"This Emperor will see just who this legendary Emperor truly is!"
"If he can transcend, so can I!"
The Azure Emperor was arrogant; he was no less than anyone else.
He broke through the barriers of the Ancient Imperial Court and entered its interior.
Here, a fragmented ruin lay.
Yet, the former glory of the Ancient Imperial Court was still faintly visible.
With Su Chen refining Wang Potian's 'Heart of the Universe,' it vanished.
From then on, all the Great Emperors coveted the secret of transcendence.
The foundation of the Imperial Court gradually disappeared with the passage of time.
The destruction of the Imperial Court was ultimately its destined end.
All intelligent beings
are ultimately greedy.
Emperor Qingyuan, too, was searching for an opportunity to transcend.
He began his search, exploring many places.
The Ancient Imperial Court was vast.
Yet, there was no trace of life.
"What is this?"
Emperor Qingyuan suddenly sensed a faint fluctuation.
He arrived at a place.
Here, layers of seals were present.
However, Emperor Qingyuan saw, in the center of the seals, a massive sphere of light.
The aura emanating from it made Emperor Qingyuan's blood boil.
"This is definitely a divine object!"
"Perhaps, it holds the secret to an Emperor's transcendence!"
As Emperor Qingyuan attempted to break the seal and retrieve the 'divine object,'
the sphere of light moved!
.......
Qin Wujie didn't know how much time had passed.
He vaguely remembered.
Back then, his cultivation had advanced further, breaking through the barrier and successfully transcending.
He began searching for Su Chen's figure.
His efforts paid off.
He finally found Su Chen's trail.
He also encountered a formidable enemy.
Overwhelmed with confidence, he began to challenge this formidable foe.
His last memory was...
"Was it Di Chen who saved me?"
Qin Wujie felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
He possessed the Chaotic Body, the number one physique in history.
A heaven-defying physique that had never suffered a defeat, it had even broken through barriers and achieved transcendence.
But...
Qin Wujie had many doubts.
Was the Chaotic Body truly the number one physique in history, or just the "number one" physique?
Why had he never won a single battle since his birth?
Qin Wujie sensed an aura.
What was this thing trying to capture him?
Qin Wujie was enraged.
He slapped it.
"How could this be... no..."
In an instant,
Blood stained the Imperial Court.
Qin Wujie emerged from the seal.
He just... seemed to have slapped something to death.
Never mind.
Qin Wujie looked at the dilapidated imperial palace.
Time seemed to have passed quite a while.
........
In the universe
Suddenly, all living beings mourned.
"This is... a Great Emperor has fallen!"
The powerful beings of all races were shocked.
There was only one Great Emperor in this world.
The Azure Origin Great Emperor, whose strength was so great that he suppressed everything, and all other Great Emperors could not attain Dao.
All living beings thought that he would become the second transcendent being, like the legendary Emperor.
But...
That didn't happen.
The Azure Origin Great Emperor suddenly fell.
No one knew what had happened.
........
In a mysterious space.
Su Chen slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, his aura was even more terrifying.
With a single breath, he could reverse the time of a universe.
After refining Wang Potian's Cosmic Heart, Su Chen's strength reached the peak of the Fourth Tribulation Ruler realm.
However...
Just as Su Chen was about to emerge from seclusion,
he suddenly sensed a power within him.
Su Chen sensed the opportunity to break through to the Fifth Tribulation Ruler realm.
He continued his seclusion and successfully broke through to the Fifth Tribulation Ruler realm.
Su Chen left the spatial dimension.
He arrived in the original universe.
The former Imperial Court had been destroyed with the passage of time.
Su Chen remained expressionless.
The rise and fall of a power was unimportant to him.
Qin Wujie had also successfully been reborn.
Old friends reunited.
Qin Wujie was quite puzzled.
He sensed that Su Chen's strength was even more terrifying...
More terrifying than the formidable enemy who had defeated him.
Perhaps... he would never be able to catch up with Su Chen again.
