163 – Wang Ping Becomes Emperor! Nine Nether’s Schemes
by spirapira“Is it not possible…”
Wang Ping slightly frowned.
Although he had already guessed as much, hearing this answer still felt like a pity.
After all, this was the best opportunity to hunt down Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, this ‘senior transmigrator.’
Once this opportunity was missed, Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao could leverage the quasi-immortals of the Blood Demon Realm to delay Ji Bingyan and then attack Profound Turtle.
In the end, Profound Turtle would still die, and the anomaly would be released.
“In previous simulations, I didn’t know what would happen once the anomaly was released; this time, I can give it a try.”
This thought flashed through Wang Ping’s mind.
In the previous simulations, Wang Ping always avoided facing it, never witnessing the outcome of the anomaly being released.
Perhaps the emergence of the anomaly was also related to the black fog descending upon both realms…
“It’s just one simulation, it’s nothing. Since this time it is destined to fail, I might as well use it to explore the normal development path.”
Wang Ping made up his mind.
“However, I still need to work hard on my cultivation and break through to the quasi-Emperor level. That would be safer.”
“System, continue to use the fast-forward function.”
Wang Ping silently said in his heart.
“Ding, fast-forwarding.”
The system’s voice rang out, and the screen reappeared.
【After making the decision, although you knew what was going to happen next, you had no intention of interfering. As for Ice Empress Ji Bingyan, she had reached a critical point in her cultivation and was even less inclined to take any extra action.】
【Thus, in the following simulation, you thought it would develop according to the direction you were familiar with in your memory, but it did not. Although you did not inform the major Holy Lands about Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao’s plan to attack Profound Turtle, because Nine Nether Demon Emperor had captured Cai Yonglong and learned that you had a Life Simulator, he had long anticipated that you knew about his attack plan.】
【Therefore, he did not choose to attack Profound Turtle at that time, because he thought you would have Ice Empress Ji Bingyan lying in wait to ambush him. So, he chose to continue waiting.】
【In the blink of an eye, time passed, and the war between the two realms started. This development did not change, but you did not hear about Profound Turtle being attacked, which surprised you. However, you soon figured out the reason and did not pay much attention to it.】
【You continued to strive for the quasi-Emperor level. Ye Chen fought against the children of quasi-immortals, and in the subsequent battle of the quasi-immortals, you had no intention of watching and focused on your cultivation.】
【During these events, Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao finally seized the opportunity during the all-out war of the quasi-immortals to attack Profound Turtle, forcing him to sacrifice his life to reinforce the seal.】
【Years later, while you were striving to break through to the quasi-Emperor level, Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao’s men found an opportunity and sent six masters, all at the quasi-Emperor level, to kill you. They used a grand array to seal the space, preventing the outside world from noticing, intending to completely eliminate you and avoid future troubles.】
【Facing such strong enemies, you naturally couldn’t continue in seclusion and had to come out and confront them, with a big battle about to erupt.】
The text simulation paused here again.
Various images appeared in Wang Ping’s mind, and his vision changed.
Although the location was still the Eternal Frozen Wastes, he was now surrounded by six figures exuding demonic aura.
These six figures were clearly the six major demon lords of the Nine Nether Demon Sect, all at the quasi-Emperor level, comparable to figures like the Holy Lords.
“Ha, sending six quasi-Emperors to kill me in one go, Chu Xiao is really cautious…”
Wang Ping walked in the air, scanning the six demon lords with a cold smile, without a trace of fear.
“However, he still underestimated me. If they wanted to kill me, they should have sent the remaining three lords as well. Nine against one, they might have had some chance…”
“Humph, arrogant boy, the only person worthy of having all the lords of the Nine Nether Demon Sect to deal with is an Emperor. To kill you, I alone am enough.”
The Blood Demon Lord took a step forward, snorted coldly, and unleashed his quasi-Emperor pressure, directly deploying his Great Perfection Blood Demon Dominion, enveloping the area.
The entire Blood Demon Dominion was dark red, looking extremely ominous, and had a tyrannical force trying to siphon Wang Ping’s blood.
“Blood Demon Lord, huh? Interesting.”
Wang Ping squinted at the Blood Demon Lord.
Once upon a time, the lords of the Nine Nether Demon Sect were high and mighty, easily crushing the simulated Wang Ping, treating him as an ant.
Now, they could no longer be taken seriously by him.
After all, their cultivations were close now, and he was no longer the simulated Wang Ping of before, who only had a cultivation of the Profound Elixir Realm.
As for combat power, Wang Ping could easily crush him.
“A quasi-Emperor who has only comprehended the Great Perfection Dominion, really quite weak…”
Wang Ping murmured.
These words made the anger of the Blood Demon Lord surge.
The other five major demon lords also frowned, thinking that Wang Ping was truly arrogant.
However, in the next second, they no longer thought Wang Ping was arrogant but showed a look of astonishment.
As leaders of the demonic path who had lived for many years, there were very few things that could move them anymore.
However, this time, they were truly moved.
Because Wang Ping, the King, had unfurled his Imperial Dharma Form behind him, directly breaking through the Blood Demon Sect Leader’s dominion, causing his face to turn pale and his expression to become grim.
Moreover, it wasn’t just any ordinary Imperial Dharma Form, but one with numerous attributes, vastly superior to those with a single or dual attribute.
As for having three attributes, sorry, no such king exists in either world.
After all, cultivating multiple paths exponentially increases the difficulty, consumes too much time, and though it may enhance combat strength, it impedes overall progress, which is disadvantageous.
“No wonder the Demon Emperor would send us together to deal with this youngster. He truly warrants us cooperatively taking him on…”
A Demon Sect Leader stared at Wang Ping with sinister eyes and sneered.
“Let’s strike together, don’t underestimate him.” Another Demon Sect Leader spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, the six Demon Sect Leaders at the quasi-Emperor level simultaneously expanded their dominions.
However, they didn’t extend the dominions to cover Wang Ping or the surrounding area entirely.
Doing so would result in a collision with Wang Ping’s Imperial Dharma Form, a fool’s errand like an egg smashing against a rock.
Therefore, covering a small area around themselves to reinforce their own strength was the best combat strategy.
“Kid, die now.”
The Blood Demon Sect Leader coldly shouted, condensing a blood-colored spear in his hand, which erupted with a crimson glow and stabbed towards Wang Ping.
Under the attack of the Blood Spear, space shattered, and the condensed power within was enough to make other quasi-Emperors’ hearts tremble.
The other five Demon Sect Leaders similarly launched attacks, unleashing terrifying blows.
Facing the ferocious attacks of the six quasi-Emperors, Wang Ping remained calm. The Imperial Dharma Form behind him merged into his body, instilling more Emperor’s majesty in him.
Then, Wang Ping gripped the Illusory Void Sword, which had reached the quasi-Emperor weapon level, and swung it in one slash.
Instantly, light burst forth, space twisted, and numerous spells manifested, transforming into six strands of sword energy that collided with the attacks of the six Demon Sect Leaders.
A terrifying shockwave swept through, countless spaces shattered like paper.
“Pfft!”
In the next moment, the six Demon Sect Leaders were all shaken, wounded, and flung away, spewing blood and staring at Wang Ping in horror.
What kind of Divine Ability was this, so powerful it allowed him to fight six and injure them all?
Wang Ping clearly had no intention of answering their questions. His figure flashed, crossing space, and appeared before one of the Demon Sect Leaders, slashing with his sword.
“Not good!”
The Demon Sect Leader’s pupils contracted, his expression changed drastically, and he tried to defend.
Suddenly, his mind shook, illusions appeared before his eyes, and he fell into an illusion.
This filled his heart with chill as he tried to break free.
However, it was futile; Wang Ping’s sword slashed out, directly killing the Demon Sect Leader trapped in the illusion.
Under the blessings of Wang Ping’s Imperial Dharma Form, even with exceptional skills, the Demon Sect Leader couldn’t recover from his injuries, his soul and body obliterated, completely perishing.
“What!?”
Seeing a Demon Sect Leader easily slain by Wang Ping, the remaining five, including the Blood Demon Sect Leader, were all seized with terror.
A King, with one sword, instantly killing a quasi-Emperor powerhouse, moreover one ranked among the top three of them, was truly horrifying.
In that moment, the Blood Demon Sect Leader and the other five realized one thing.
Continuing to fight meant only being easily slain by Wang Ping, with no chance of survival.
Wang Ping was utterly terrifying.
His combat strength probably far exceeded the level of a quasi-Emperor, beyond what they could handle.
Therefore, the Blood Demon Sect Leader and the five remaining Demon Sect Leaders exchanged glances, and they immediately disengaged from the array, quickly tearing through space to escape.
“You think you can escape?”
Wang Ping coldly snorted, instantly summoning the Blazing Fire Tower, suppressing the space and preventing spatial transfer techniques.
This caused the Blood Demon Sect Leader and others to contract their pupils and change their expressions.
Although, at their level, a single Emperor Tower couldn’t fully block their escape route, as they could break through space with some effort.
But that time would be enough for Wang Ping to kill them several times over.
“Kid, since you don’t intend to spare us, even if we fall, we will make sure you suffer irrecoverable wounds!”
The Blood Demon Sect Leader angrily shouted, charging towards Wang Ping.
“Just you? Not a chance.”
Wang Ping sneered, once again using illusionary Divine Abilities, confusing the Blood Demon Sect Leader, and effortlessly killing him.
If it were ordinary Imperial Divine Abilities, they wouldn’t have this effect, but Wang Ping cultivated self-created quasi-immortal-tier techniques with the Imperial Dharma Form, making dealing with quasi-Emperors as easy as cutting vegetables.
Wang Ping vaguely felt that his combat strength had reached the level of the Emperor Realm.
Even if he couldn’t defeat an emperor, he could still remain undefeated.
Next, with a flicker, Wang Ping appeared behind another demonic master, killing him with two moves.
In front of Wang Ping, the powerful quasi-emperors of the demonic path were like clay chickens and pottery dogs, unable to withstand a single blow.
“Damn, you forced me to this!”
The remaining three demonic masters roared with hideous expressions, burning their origins together to forcibly enhance their combat power, intending to fight Wang Ping to the death.
“Haha, bring it on…”
Wang Ping was unafraid and chose to face them head-on instead of using illusory divine abilities.
After all, this was a good opportunity to hone his combat experience, not to be missed.
What he lacked most at the moment was experience in battling strong opponents.
Right now it was fine, but if it continued, it would undoubtedly become a hidden danger.
As the four battled, terrifying power poured out, affecting a vast area, causing the entire Eternal Frozen Wastes to shake.
And this huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of many powerful beings, all of whom were shocked and couldn’t help but come over.
Several emperors who were closer couldn’t help but tear through space to arrive here and observe the battle.
Among them was the Sky Emperor.
Because the Sky Emperor followed the path of space, he was the first emperor to arrive.
“Who is that? He can actually fight three quasi-emperors burning their origins with the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the King Realm, and they are even demonic masters of the Nine Nether Demon Sect… He is truly strong.”
The Sky Emperor was shocked.
However, he quickly noticed something else amiss.
There were still the lingering auras of three other demonic masters here.
In other words, Wang Ping had fought six enemies alone, already killing three, forcing the other three to burn their origins and fight to the death.
“The aura of an Emperor Realm Dharma Form, and his techniques and divine abilities are equally terrifying. No wonder he has such powerful combat strength. However, why do I feel that his Sword Dao and Space Divine Abilities somewhat resemble yours?”
Another emperor arrived, marvelling and then looking at the Sky Emperor in confusion.
“How would I know?” The Sky Emperor frowned, also somewhat surprised. “I’ve never heard of this person before; it’s really odd.”
“Besides that, is that the Blazing Fire Tower? Wasn’t the Blazing Fire Tower with Ye Chen? Why is there another Blazing Fire Tower here?”
The Sky Emperor then looked towards the Blazing Fire Tower in the sky, his heart full of astonishment.
This also made the other emperors frown, equally puzzled. It was impossible for there to be identical Emperor Weapons in this world.
At this time, an emperor-level Blood Demon of the Blood Demon Realm also arrived, being one of the closer emperors.
When they saw Wang Ping, shock filled their eyes, but a fierce light also gleamed, as if they wanted to immediately kill Wang Ping.
However, they remembered that this was the territory of the quasi-immortal Ji Bingyan, and after glancing at the Sky Emperor and other emperors of the Purple Spirit Realm, they snorted coldly and restrained their thoughts.
Wang Ping noticed the gathering of more and more powerful beings, realizing it would be troublesome if this went on.
Thus, he no longer held back, using his full combat strength to decisively kill the three demonic masters and put away the Blazing Fire Tower.
At this moment, an emperor from the Blood Demon Realm, after some thought, couldn’t suppress his killing intent. He gathered his Emperor Realm Dharma Form and launched a punch at Wang Ping, intending to kill him outright.
Such a genius, if not removed early, might become a disaster in the future, threatening both realms in war.
“How dare you!”
Seeing the Blood Demon Realm emperor attacking against the rules, the emperors of the Purple Spirit Realm, including the Sky Emperor, were enraged and tried to stop him.
However, since the Blood Demon Realm emperor had made his move, he was prepared; other Blood Demon emperors joined in, blocking the Purple Spirit Realm emperors.
Since the Blood Demon Realm had more emperors, they achieved this objective.
Therefore, the emperors of the Purple Spirit Realm could only watch anxiously.
Although Wang Ping displayed horrifying combat strength, he likely couldn’t withstand an emperor’s attack.
After all, an emperor killing a quasi-emperor could do so with a casual strike.
For instance, the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan, who eventually grew to become a quasi-immortal, had used a forbidden technique to perish together with a Blood Demon Realm emperor ten thousand years ago.
At that time, the Ice Empress was a quasi-emperor, whereas Wang Ping was only at the Great Perfection of the King Realm.
“Hah, you think you can kill me? You’re not capable.”
Facing the emperor’s attack from the Blood Demon Realm, Wang Ping sneered and directly revealed his Emperor Realm Dharma Form.
This time, he held nothing back. All kinds of visions appeared, unleashing the strongest divine abilities, launching a terrifying strike that directly shattered the full attack of the Blood Demon Realm emperor.
“What!?”
This scene left all the present Emperors in shock.
Whether it was the Emperors of the Purple Spirit Realm or the Blood Demon Realm, none anticipated Wang Ping’s overwhelming strength.
Although the sneak attack from the Blood Demon Realm’s Emperor was hurried, it still possessed terrifying power.
Yet, it was directly shattered by Wang Ping, a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the King Realm. It was truly shocking.
Such a thing had never occurred in the history of the two realms.
“Emperor of the Blood Demon Realm, I will remember this strike. Once I become a quasi-Emperor, the first one I will slay will be you.”
While everyone was in shock, Wang Ping looked at the Emperor who had sneak-attacked him and said coldly.
“Haha, and you think that becoming a quasi-Emperor means you can kill me? How arrogant!”
The Emperor of the Blood Demon Realm laughed out of anger, exuding an astonishing killing intent that turned the whole sky blood red.
“Since you want to kill me, I will wait for you to break through to the quasi-Emperor realm and challenge me in a life-and-death battle. By then, I will definitely slap you to death.”
Afterwards, the Emperor of the Blood Demon Realm seemed to remember something and sneered.
“Let’s go.”
The Blood Demon Realm’s Emperors did not say much more. They all coldly glanced at Wang Ping before tearing the space and leaving.
This place was the Eternal Frozen Wastes; they couldn’t stay long.
Who knows if the quasi-immortal of the Purple Spirit Realm might strike them down…
After all, they had broken the rules earlier. If the other party killed them, it would be justified.
Seeing the Blood Demon Realm’s Emperors leave, the other Emperors, although wanting to greet Wang Ping, remembered their duties. They simply nodded towards Wang Ping and left.
Without them keeping watch, if the Blood Demon Realm’s Emperors attacked other geniuses or Kings of the Purple Spirit Realm again, it would be troublesome.
They knew of Wang Ping’s existence; they could make connections with him later when they had free time.
As the area quieted down, Wang Ping also sighed in relief, his eyes flickering as he pondered the situation.
“Chu Xiao, what are you thinking? Could it be you’re merely sending six quasi-Emperors to test my current strength?”
With the personality of Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, a transmigrator, he would not do such meaningless things.
After all, if the other party wanted to kill him, the best choice would be to have an Emperor make the move, even if he himself dared not.
After all, he knew this.
The Nine Nether Demon Sect had a second Emperor, the first Demon Lord of the Nine Nether Demon Sect.
“Hmph, no matter what you’re planning, your end will be the same—death. Even if I can’t kill you in this simulation, with the rewards I choose to pile up my cultivation, killing you will be as easy as squashing an ant.”
Wang Ping’s clothes fluttered elegantly as he sneered inwardly. With a flash, he returned to the depths of the Eternal Frozen Wastes.
“This immersive simulation isn’t just for show… According to the mechanism, this is also a branching route. But what kind of branch is it? It seems unclear.”
Just as Wang Ping was about to begin another immersive simulation, he seemed to remember something, frowning slightly with some confusion.
Could it be a choice between fighting or not, or killing or sparing?
“Forget it, no need to overthink. Just fast forward; the answer will naturally reveal itself in the future.”
As Wang Ping thought to himself, the screen appeared again, and words floated up.
【After this battle, your name spread across the world. Cultivators of both realms recognized your existence and believed you were destined to become an Emperor in the future. They even thought that once grown, you would be no ordinary Emperor. Some even believed you had the potential to become a quasi-immortal.】
【Because of this, the cultivators of the Purple Spirit Realm were delighted, believing they had gained a powerful combat force that might change the course of the war. The Blood Demon Realm was enraged, wishing to kill you immediately.】
【However, their powerful figures were being watched, so they couldn’t act rashly and could only plan slowly against you.】
【After this battle, the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan personally intervened, asking the major Holy Lands to provide resources to train you so that you could break through to the quasi-Emperor or Emperor realm in the shortest time possible.】
【Regarding this suggestion from the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan, the major Holy Lands did not dare to disobey. In fact, even if the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan was not a quasi-immortal, most Holy Lands would still follow suit. Everyone knew what it meant to have an additional powerful Emperor combat force at this time.】
【During the two realms’ war, the more Emperor-level combat forces, the better, especially someone like you, who was likely to reach the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm. With enough resources, you might even ascend to the quasi-immortal level. Therefore, you were worth nurturing rapidly.】
【The safety of the Purple Spirit Realm and the ancient legacies of the major Holy Lands were at stake. They were clear about the benefits and losses involved.】
【Twenty years later, with the resources provided by the Holy Lands, you successfully advanced to the quasi-Emperor level. After becoming a quasi-Emperor, you emerged once and actively sought out the Emperor of the Blood Demon Realm, fighting fiercely and killing him.】
【This battle shocked both realms. The morale of the cultivators in the Purple Spirit Realm soared. The Emperors were gratified, believing you had a real chance to change the course of the war in the future.】
【Meanwhile, the Blood Demon Realm became even more wary of you, wanting you dead immediately. However, you had grown strong. Unless a quasi-immortal or a Great Perfection Emperor made a move, other Emperors would find it difficult to kill you quickly.】
【You continued to retreat, aiming to reach the Emperor Realm. For you, this was not difficult. You had already comprehended the Dharma Form of Emperor Dao. Simply refining your mana would allow you to easily advance. With the resources provided by the major Holy Lands, this process would be smooth and quick.】
【In the blink of an eye, several decades passed. At a critical moment of your cultivation, you successfully broke through and triggered a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation. Eventually, under the shocked gazes of countless cultivators, you easily passed the tribulation and became an Emperor.】
【During these years, you also created your own quasi-immortal-level Divine Ability. Additionally, during the previous Heavenly Tribulation, you merged your two life-bound weapons, the Illusory Void Sword, into one. With the Blazing Fire Tower as an auxiliary, you tempered it with the Heavenly Tribulation, making it an Emperor Weapon. Even as a newly elevated Emperor Weapon, it was much stronger than typical Emperor Weapons.】
【After becoming an Emperor, you were full of spirit, confident that among the Emperors of both realms, your strength was definitely at a high level. Although not at the top, defeating Emperors below the seventh realm of Emperor Realm was not difficult. You also felt confident in escaping from a Great Perfection Emperor.】
【At this point, you had no fear of Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, the veteran transmigrator. The only thing that concerned you was the anomaly… You didn’t know what abilities this anomaly possessed, but just the fact that it occupied the body of the Emperor of Judgement was terrifying enough. Once it emerged, it would certainly turn the world upside down.】
【Of course, even if the anomaly doesn’t appear, just the black fog that destroys two realms is deadly enough.】
【Shortly after you stabilized your realm, a full-scale war broke out on the Blood Demon Realm’s side, as they no longer wanted to delay. For this reason, you also participated in the battle, engaging in an earth-shattering fight with a Blood Demon Emperor whose cultivation had reached the seventh level of the Emperor Realm.】
【In this battle, you finally validated your strength. Although you had just become an emperor, the previous realms were all perfect breakthroughs, and you had self-created quasi-immortal-level techniques and divine abilities. Coupled with a Dharma Form far superior to ordinary ones, you could fight against a seventh-level Blood Demon Emperor across levels.】
【Although you were not his match, it was also difficult for him to kill you. It could be said that you held off a powerful combat force of the Blood Demon Realm, making a significant contribution.】
“It seems that after using the fast-forward function, I will only enter the immersive simulation state again when making important choices affecting future developments…”
Wang Ping looked at the simulation content, thinking to himself.
If it was just to let him show off, this simulation’s cross-level killing of the Blood Demon Emperor and fighting a veteran seventh-level Blood Demon Emperor with just newly entered emperor cultivation was quite boast-worthy.
However, the fact that it didn’t automatically exit the text simulation state and enter the immersive simulation shows there is a problem.
“Perhaps the impact of my past choices will soon appear…”
Wang Ping’s eyes flickered, and he had a vague guess in his mind, continuing to stare at the screen.
【During your fierce battle with the Blood Demon Realm Emperor, Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao finally released the sealed Emperor of Judgement.】
【As the Emperor of Judgement was about to be released, Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao had long escaped to avoid being killed by the anomaly.】
【After the Emperor of Judgement, possessed by the anomaly, was released, the bloodline curse of the reclusive Bai family completely erupted, driving them all mad. Their combat power increased significantly as they were fully controlled by the anomaly, becoming its sub-souls.】
【At the same time, because of your battle with the six great demon lords and killing them, once the anomaly emerged, your body trembled wildly, you instantly went mad, and your soul was polluted, becoming a sub-soul controlled by the anomaly.】
【Due to your soul being polluted and controlled by the anomaly, this simulation ends.】
“!!!”
Wang Ping’s pupils constricted as he looked at the simulation content.
His guess had indeed been confirmed.
Killing the six demon lords did indeed pose a problem that would affect future developments.
At the same time, the anomaly had finally emerged.
However, what puzzled Wang Ping was the connection between killing the six demon lords and the anomaly.
After all, the demon lords were the subordinates of Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, with no apparent connection to the anomaly.
Moreover, when he killed the six demon lords, the anomaly was still sealed.
“Wait, something seems off…”
Wang Ping frowned slightly.
Although the demon lords of the Nine Nether Demon Sect were very mysterious, it was rumored that one of the demon lords was a descendant of the Emperor of Judgement.
Only, this disciple was rescued by Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao after the Emperor of Judgement had an accident and was cultivated into one of the demon lords.
“If this is true, then there’s some clue to the anomaly’s capabilities.”
Wang Ping took a deep breath, looking somewhat grim.
He had killed the Emperor of Judgement’s descendant and as a result, his soul was polluted, becoming a sub-soul controlled by the Emperor.
This anomaly’s ability is a type of control, and an unreasonable one at that.
Wang Ping suspected that as long as he killed the Emperor of Judgement’s descendants, his soul might be polluted and controlled…
Or perhaps, if he killed anyone related to the Emperor, he would be controlled?
If it’s that way, it’s too overbearing.
“However, this is unlikely. If it were that widespread, it would be too absurd. Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao wouldn’t have run away; after all, he killed the Profound Turtle. The Profound Turtle had deep ties with the Emperor of Judgement as well.”
“Presumably, the controllable targets must have killed the descendants possessed by the Emperor of Judgement or the sub-souls controlled by him, causing their souls to be polluted and becoming new sub-souls under his control.”
Wang Ping speculated.
If this anomaly really possessed this ability, it would be highly frustrating.
This guy was already absurdly powerful, and could even randomly throw sub-souls in combat for you to attack.
If you accidentally killed one of his controlled sub-souls… Oh well, you’re done for.
The anomaly’s power ceiling was needless to say, quasi-immortals probably couldn’t withstand it.
At this moment, Wang Ping’s consciousness flickered and he appeared in a hidden location.
He saw the Emperor of Judgement exuding black aura.
More accurately, it was the Emperor of Judgement possessed by the anomaly.
“Hehe, that Nine Nether Demon Emperor, with those guys’ aura on him, yet he released me… Quite interesting.”
The anomaly chuckled sinisterly.
“Although I don’t know what you’re thinking, since you’ve released me, as a token of reciprocity, I will reluctantly control you and make you one of my strong warriors.”
As he said this, the anomaly activated his ability.
In an instant, whether it was Wang Ping or those who had killed the relatives of the Emperor of Judgement, all were instantly corrupted in their souls, falling into madness, and being controlled by the anomaly.
Even those who were already dead and buried, as long as they were related, turned into demonic creatures and crawled out from the ground.
As for the other descendants of the Emperor of Judgement, they too fell into madness under his control.
This scene was especially terrifying.
“This anomalous ability is indeed tyrannical…”
Wang Ping watched this scene, becoming increasingly solemn.
As long as one was related, no matter how much time had passed, they could be controlled.
Even those already dead could be resurrected as demonic creatures… it was absurd.
“Speaking of which, the optimized Life Simulator’s God perspective effect is better… Even though this has little to do with Wang Ping and is not his perspective, it still appears before my eyes in a God perspective.”
Wang Ping thought of this and muttered.
Next, Wang Ping’s consciousness wavered, and his vision changed, returning to his initial residence in the Heavenly Sword Sacred City.
Clearly, this life simulation had come to an end.
However, although the simulation ended, other aspects had not.
Various scenes flooded Wang Ping’s mind, along with numerous insights from cultivation.
“Emperor Dao Dharma Form.”
“Quasi-immortal cultivation method.”
“Quasi-immortal divine abilities.”
“Various secret techniques.”
Anything he comprehended during the simulation, Wang Ping received thoroughly after it ended.
Moreover, Wang Ping found that this time the acceptance of insights was different from before, very gentle, and easy to absorb without taking too much time.
Or rather, the time ratio had changed, making the flow of time in the real world seem not so fast.
With the previous Life Simulator, just absorbing this many insights would have taken him several months.
This time it only took about half a month.
“The optimized Life Simulator is indeed powerful.”
After absorbing all the insights, Wang Ping opened his eyes and couldn’t help but marvel.
“Ding, reward generation successful, host can choose two from the following rewards:
- First level of Emperor Realm cultivation.
- Life-bound Emperor Weapon – Illusory Void Sword.
- Condensing Emperor Pill.
- Purple Talent – Divine Comprehension.”
“Although the rewards are few this time, the numerous insights gained from the immersive simulation are already rich enough. Not to mention, these rewards are still not weak.”
Wang Ping looked at the reward list and smiled faintly.
The Purple Talent – Divine Comprehension is an obvious choice.
As for the Condensing Emperor Pill, it’s an extremely valuable elixir that can help someone break through, giving them a better chance to reach the Emperor Realm.
Of course, this is contingent on having condensed the Emperor Dao Dharma Form; otherwise, even with the Condensing Emperor Pill, breaking into the Emperor Realm would be impossible.
This is a treasure provided by the Primordial Holy Land.
During the war between the two realms, the Primordial Holy Land was genuinely generous, living up to its reputation as the foremost sacred land.
Not only did they allow him to enter the Primordial Holy Land in previous life simulations, but they also provided the precious Condensing Emperor Pill.
Precisely due to the Condensing Emperor Pill, Wang Ping could break through to the Emperor Realm within just a few decades.
Otherwise, relying solely on his own efforts to break through would take a very long time.
After all, although his comprehension was strong, it was still comprehension. His innate talent remained the same level, with no significant change.
“No need to choose the Life-bound Emperor Weapon – Illusory Void Sword. After all, once I become an Emperor, forging an Emperor Weapon is a piece of cake. So, System, I choose options 1 and 4.”
Wang Ping made his choice while looking at the reward list.
Both the Condensing Emperor Pill and the Life-bound Emperor Weapon are precious, and he would have chosen them if it were a previous life simulation.
However, now he is being targeted by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, and only with strength in hand can he protect himself.
So, he would advance his cultivation swiftly and strengthen himself to prevent any unexpected events.
After all, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao in the Life Simulation had severed all ties with the other realms.
However, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao in the real world is not the same as the one who was cut off from the outside world.
He can contact people from various realms, especially the transmigrators in the second generation chat group.
Although according to Alpha, it is hard for these people to enter the grand fantasy world where the Purple Spirit Realm is located, it is still possible for the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao to find him with some secret techniques.
Wang Ping couldn’t afford to take that gamble.
He could only say that the Life Simulator still lacked the ability to simulate factors from various realms, which was quite unfortunate. But this was also understandable. After all, the realms were too vast. Simulation undoubtedly required certain rules and energy, and simulating various realms was not realistic at this point.
It’s like the computing power of a computer. If its computing power is only at level 1, there is no way it can handle computations at level 100. It would crash instantly. Not crashing would be very strange indeed.
“I can only hope that after further optimizing the Life Simulator in the future, it might be able to simulate various realms,” Wang Ping thought, his eyes flickering. He said to Alpha in his heart: “Alpha, the Golden Finger Optimizer can only be purchased three times by each group member. Is this a deliberate limitation by you? Can it continue to be optimized?”
“…”
Alpha fell silent for a moment, contemplating whether to respond to Wang Ping’s question.
After all, the implications of this were so significant that He couldn’t ignore them.
If Wang Ping were to continue optimizing the Life Simulator, he might be able to simulate various realms in the future.
Even if it couldn’t simulate the realms, it might still be able to incorporate some factors from the chat group.
By that time, Wang Ping would become increasingly uncontrollable.
“It can be optimized. However, it requires a massive amount of group points.”
Eventually, Alpha gave a vague answer.
“How many group points?”
Wang Ping’s eyes brightened as he pursued the question.
“A vast amount. You don’t need to know for now, just focus on completing group tasks and earning group points.”
Alpha’s cold voice resounded.
“Oh.” Wang Ping squinted his eyes, not saying anything more.
At that moment, Wang Ping felt the Life Simulator had issued its rewards, and his comprehension dramatically increased.
Additionally, his cultivation within his body also surged at a terrifying pace.
Quasi-King!
King Realm!
Great Perfection of the King Realm!
quasi-Emperor!
Straight to the Emperor Realm!
“The feeling of becoming an Emperor is truly delightful, a sensation the Life Simulations never allowed me to experience…”
Wang Ping felt the immense mana within his body and nodded with satisfaction.
Although he had experienced the Great Perfection of the King Realm in immersive simulations, he had never exited the fast-forward mode to re-enter an immersive simulation.
As a result, he had never experienced the sensation of becoming an Emperor.
“Thinking about it, I can now actively enter immersive simulations. This way, I can better explore the mysteries of various realms and simultaneously enhance my combat experience. By then, when I receive my cultivation, I won’t just have the stats but can fully utilize my battle strength.”
This thought crossed Wang Ping’s mind, and he found it quite agreeable.
Subsequently, Wang Ping calmed himself down and opened the chat group to see what was happening there.
Half a month had passed, and the chat group was as active as usual, chatting and performing group tasks.
However, Wang Ping’s successive displays of terrifying power greatly stimulated the other members, pushing them to pursue strength more intensely.
Cai Yonglong (1): “Wang Ge, help! Wang Ge! It seems someone has tracked me to the Profound Turtle Continent and captured me alive, saying they want to take me back to the Nine Nether Demon Sect.”
At that moment, a message popped up, making Wang Ping’s eyes narrow.
Fang Yun (3): “Damn, Cai Ge is in trouble again? What’s the situation?”
Chen Yao (71): “It’s typical of the fantasy world.”
Wang Ping (66) @Cai Yonglong (1): “Try to stall for time; I will be there soon.”
Wang Ping hadn’t expected the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao to act so quickly.
Although he had known from the text simulation that Cai Yonglong would be captured within a year, that was a vague timeframe. Although there were images, no specific time was given.
For that reason, Wang Ping thought it might be a few months or even half a year later.
Unexpectedly, it had only been half a month; this was truly terrifying.
It could only be said, the Nine Nether Demon Sect’s efficiency was indeed remarkable.
“No, I can’t go directly. I need to find an ally.”
Just as Wang Ping was about to move, he stopped his actions and narrowed his eyes.
Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao… This is a deeply cunning and ruthless person.
If he goes to the Profound Turtle Continent, the other party might be lying in wait for him somewhere.
Although he has now reached the Emperor Realm and has the power to fight against a seventh-level Emperor, he is still far inferior to the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, not his opponent.
If he gets caught in a trap set by the other party, he’ll be in great danger.
Although he can escape using the teleportation function of the chat group, it is troublesome and wastes group points.
Wang Ping does not want to flee so pathetically.
Immediately, Wang Ping spoke again in the chat group.
Wang Ping (66) @ Cai Yonglong (1): ‘Cai Yonglong, you just have to hang in there for now. If things get really bad, just use the chat group’s teleport function to come to me. Ten thousand group points are nothing.’
Cai Yonglong (1): ‘Uh, but Brother Wang, what about the people on the Profound Turtle Continent? If I run away, Bai Tianhong and the Crimson Tribe might die.’
Wang Ping paused slightly at Cai Yonglong’s words.
The immersive simulation took too long. Although most scenes were like skipping through a TV series, it still made him feel a bit disoriented.
Although this disoriented feeling would surely disappear soon, the urgent situation and unexpected events have made him forget many people and things.
Indeed, if he does not go right away, Bai Tianhong and the Crimson Tribe might really be in trouble.
Wang Ping (66): ‘I’ll go over there now.’
Wang Ping did not hesitate to make the choice of using the chat group’s teleportation function.
Although this would consume some group points, Wang Ping is now rich, and a trivial ten thousand group points are nothing to him.
Using the chat group’s teleportation function is much safer than tearing through space himself… it would not alert the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao.
As Wang Ping activated the chat group’s teleportation function, his figure vanished into white light, reappearing on the Profound Turtle Continent the next moment.
To be precise, he appeared beside Cai Yonglong.
When Wang Ping appeared next to Cai Yonglong, Cai Yonglong was startled.
However, he soon showed a look of joy and breathed a sigh of relief.
With Brother Wang here, there’s nothing to worry about.
The demonic path expert chasing him might be strong, but they can’t be stronger than Brother Wang.
Brother Wang is now a powerful being who can easily shatter stars.
At this moment, Wang Ping nodded at Cai Yonglong and then looked at the black-robed expert who had captured Cai Yonglong alive.
The other’s cultivation level is not weak, at the Half-Step Nirvana Realm level.
‘You must be Wang Ping. The Demon Emperor has ordered me to tell you something. If you want to cooperate, come with me to the Nine Nether Demon Sect. The Demon Emperor is willing to appoint you as the Deputy Sect Master.’
Though the black-robed man was only at the Half-Step Nirvana Realm, he was not afraid of the suddenly appearing Wang Ping and coldly laughed as he spoke.
‘It seems you captured Cai Yonglong alive deliberately to lure me out.’
Wang Ping did not look at the black-robed man but gazed into the distance, letting out a cold laugh.
‘No, to be precise, your bigger goal is to entrap me.’
With eyes like lightning, Wang Ping snorted coldly.
In the Life Simulator, he was once killed by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor using the descendants of the Emperor of Judgement, aided by an anomalous ability.
Now, the other party definitely intends to use the same trick.
The black-robed man in front of him must be related to the Emperor of Judgement, possessing some of his bloodline.
Oh, for Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, this might be his first time using such a scheme.
It has to be said, this guy is ruthless and had already planned this layout a thousand years in advance.
He planned long ago to kill the Profound Turtle a thousand years later, release anomalies, and plot everything.
Now, planting a trap on himself is just a bonus.
‘Since you know, come with me. The Demon Emperor values you highly; it is your honor.’
The black-robed man taunted Wang Ping coldly.
‘Heh.’
Wang Ping sneered, casually slapping the black-robed man away and completely sealing him.
Kill him? Impossible. But sealing him for a few thousand years, making him wish for death, is effortless.
‘You!’
Seeing himself sealed, unable to move, the black-robed man struggled, showing some surprise, as if puzzled by Wang Ping’s decision to seal him.
Updating late, sorry. But no choice, last time’s burst update drained my manuscript reserves, coding on the spot these past two days has been tight.
