262 – Blasting the Dark Emperors!

“I really have to hand it to this seven-colored talent: ‘God of Escape’… It truly surpasses its predecessor.”

Wang Ping looked at the simulated content and couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

The golden talent: Teleportation has its drawbacks but they’re limited to this world. This seven-colored talent: ‘God of Escape’ actually teleported simulated Wang Ping and others to another world altogether… It’s just absurd.

Teleporting would have been fine, but to teleport directly in front of the Dark Emperor as a snack… I really don’t even know where to begin with the complaints.

“However, the decision made by simulated Wang Ping wasn’t actually wrong; he would’ve been dead if he hadn’t run… But, now, simulated Wang Ping should have the combat strength to kill a normal Emperor, right?”

Wang Ping thought again about simulated Wang Ping’s situation, musing to himself.

Before challenging the Immortal Tower, simulated Wang Ping’s combat power was only at the Great Success Domain of the Spacetime Dao Body, with Small Success in the Origin-Breaking Divine Eyes, plus an additional fifty percent understanding of the Heavenly Dao true meaning and the effects of various talents.

This configuration was barely enough to contend with a normal quasi-emperor’s Great Perfection, with a tendency to lose more often than win. If the effect of the seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack could be triggered, he might be able to kill them.

Since a normal quasi-emperor’s Great Perfection might not have a very strong physique, they would at least have understood sixty percent of the Heavenly Dao’s true meaning, one percent more than simulated Wang Ping.

Additionally, a quasi-emperor’s Great Perfection is seven realms higher than simulated Wang Ping’s, representing a significant transformation in combat strength.

As one advances in cultivation, the disparity between realms grows larger, and a seven-realm gap in combat power is quite substantial.

After challenging the Immortal Tower, simulated Wang Ping’s combat strength transformed. His Origin-Breaking Divine Eyes directly reached Great Success, and he comprehended sixty percent of the Spacetime Heavenly Dao true meaning.

This configuration is quite luxurious.

With the dual completion of special physiques and sixty percent of the Heavenly Dao true meaning, he could easily crush a normal quasi-emperor’s Great Perfection. Whether he could contend with a top-tier quasi-emperor remained to be seen.

The configuration of top-tier quasi-emperors generally includes the most elite Sacred Body, developed to Great Perfection, and an understanding of seventy percent of the Heavenly Dao true meaning, reaching the domain of Great Perfection.

A Great Perfection Sacred Body truly represents a metamorphosis and is the key to quasi-emperors like Yu Daoyi being able to challenge aging normal Emperors.

A top-tier Great Perfection Sacred Body brings a far greater enhancement to combat strength than a Great Success Spacetime Dao Body.

Only when the Spacetime Dao Body also reaches the Perfection domain will its combat strength surpass that of the top-tier Sacred Body.

Moreover, the seventy percent understanding of the Heavenly Dao true meaning provides a terrifying combat enhancement, reaching the domain of an Emperor.

Therefore, the combat strength of top-tier quasi-emperors is entirely different from other quasi-emperors, touching the realm of Emperors and able to contend with aging normal Emperors.

Therefore, with Wang Ping’s two Great Success terrifying physiques, he can compete with the Perfection domain of the top-tier Sacred Body in terms of physique. But he falls short by one percent in the understanding of the Heavenly Dao true meaning. Although the Emperor’s scripture and cultivation path can compensate for some advantages, along with the assistance of talent effects, whether he can contend with a top-tier quasi-emperor remains uncertain.

As for the Chaos Body, it is very strong. The anomaly displayed formidable power within the secret realm, but the opponents faced were merely young geniuses with cultivation not surpassing half-step Supreme.

At that time, among the young geniuses, developing even a Small Success physique was impressive, and few had comprehended true laws. Thus, the anomaly could dominate with an undeveloped Chaos Body.

However, once simulated Wang Ping developed his Spacetime Dao Body to the Small Success domain, the anomaly’s advantage vanished instantly, being easily crushed by Wang Ping.

While physique is indeed powerful, it requires development.

No matter how strong the Small Chaos Body, if it can’t be developed to Small Success, Great Success, and then to Perfection, the transformation remains difficult.

Of course, an additional reason prevents the true display of the Small Chaos Body’s power.

There are no corresponding cultivation techniques, divine abilities, or comprehended Heavenly Dao true meanings.

In Wang Ping’s case, with the Spacetime Dao Body, having the corresponding Spacetime Emperor’s Scripture and the Heavenly Dao true meaning, he can naturally unleash its power to the fullest.

As for the advantage of the Emperor’s Weapons…

Emperor’s Weapons aren’t really that advantageous.

Because if you have an Emperor’s Weapon, others have them too, and in greater numbers. Among the top-tier experts entering the secret realm, who didn’t bring their faction’s Emperor’s Weapon?

Not to mention, at this level, Emperor’s Weapons can only provide auxiliary combat effects and are no longer decisive in battle.

Therefore, the simulation decisively chose to use the seven-colored talent ‘God of Escape’ to flee.

Because the combat strength compared to those old monsters is simply too far behind.

The number of top-tier quasi-emperors is not advantageous, and as for the rest, the less said, the better.

The quasi-emperors of Taiyi Emperor Palace are not stronger than those of other factions, yet they have to face nearly a hundred quasi-emperors from other imperial-level forces, plus quasi-emperors from quasi-emperor-level forces.

In such circumstances, not fleeing would mean certain death.

However, the simulated Wang Ping didn’t expect that the seven-colored talent ‘God of Escape’ would be so unreliable, directly teleporting right in front of the Dark Emperor of another world.

Of course, with the simulated Wang Ping’s current combat strength, he might truly be able to fight an ordinary emperor.

After all, the current Wang Ping, aided by the Dao Comprehension Emperor Fruit, has comprehended seventy percent of the Spacetime Heavenly Dao true meaning, reaching the emperor’s domain.

At the same time, he also comprehended the Chaos Emperor’s Scripture and thirty percent of the Chaos Heavenly Dao true meaning.

Although only thirty percent of the Chaos Heavenly Dao true meaning is comprehended, it’s certainly much stronger than seventy percent of the Spacetime Heavenly Dao true meaning. Plus, Wang Ping has the supporting divine abilities that come with comprehending the Chaos Emperor’s Scripture.

In such circumstances, even though the Small Chaos Body is still in its basic state and hasn’t been deeply developed, it can still boost his combat strength significantly.

Comparatively, the odds of fighting an emperor seem quite high.

It’s just unclear if the real situation will match his predictions.

As various thoughts flashed through Wang Ping’s mind, the simulation continued.

【Next, after thanking Yu Daoyi and others for protecting you, you looked at Huang Qin, who was still being suppressed. At this moment, Huang Qin’s face was full of joy, seemingly happy about the danger Yu Daoyi and others encountered.】

【In response, you snorted coldly, directly grabbing Huang Qin, ignoring her wails and screams, and extracting her essence, handing it to Yu Daoyi to help her recover.】

【In response, Yu Daoyi shook her head, indicating that you need the essence more than she does. You frowned and sternly insisted that Yu Daoyi accept it.】

【This left Yu Daoyi momentarily stunned. In the end, she chose to obey and began absorbing Huang Qin’s essence to heal her injuries.】

【At this moment, the dark chaos erupted again, and dark creatures once again attacked. You squinted your eyes, using the Great Success Origin-Breaking Divine Eyes to see through the darkness.】

【In the darkness, the Dark Emperor was nowhere to be seen, but countless dark creatures were present, including terrifying dark creatures at the quasi-emperor seventh level or higher. However, such dark creatures are no longer of concern to you.】

【Thinking it over, you concluded that the Dark Emperor must have returned to the Source of Darkness. Regular Dark Emperors cannot stay long in the outside world. Being away from the Source of Darkness for too long can drive them mad.】

【Thus, you instructed Yu Daoyi and others not to leave the formation, then used spatial divine abilities to tear through space, arriving in the outside world to face the dark creatures alone.】

【This shocked Yu Daoyi. Although you performed brilliantly when storming the Immortal Tower, it was ultimately a battle of equals. Your current cultivation level is still only at the peak of the quasi-emperor third level, which is too low. Going out alone is too dangerous.】

【However, Yu Daoyi had already started absorbing Huang Qin’s essence to heal her injuries and couldn’t move, so she could only watch anxiously. The other quasi-emperors of Taiyi Emperor Palace were similarly worried.】

【Soon, they were all stunned. A dark creature discovered you and launched a terrifying attack. This dark creature’s combat strength was at the level of a regular quasi-emperor seventh level.】

However, facing the attack of this dark creature, you remained indifferent, not even glancing at him. With a casual wave of your hand, you obliterated him, exuding an aura of invincibility…

After casually killing a quasi-emperor seventh-level dark creature, you then used terrifying divine abilities to obliterate several other dark creatures that charged at you. These dark creatures were quasi-emperor seventh-level, eighth-level, and ninth-level. Although they had ordinary quasi-emperor combat power, it was still terrifying enough…

Because killing these powerful dark creatures was no more difficult for you than slaughtering chickens. This level of power is already not weaker than top-notch quasi-emperors…

For a moment, Yu Daoyi and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that your current combat power had reached an unfathomable level; they couldn’t fully comprehend it. Especially Yu Daoyi, who marveled at your monstrous capabilities, considering how you soared from the Honored Saint level to a combat power matching hers in such a short time…

It should be noted that, strictly speaking, you are only a few hundred years old. Achieving this level at such a young age is something no one has ever accomplished throughout the ages, not even during the most glorious eras of the Upper Realm…

Next, another dark creature charged at you. This time, it was a quasi-emperor at Great Perfection. You remained indifferent, once again casually dispatching him with a wave of your hand, without any difficulty…

Then, finding these dark creatures too annoying, you unleashed a terrifying area-of-effect divine ability, instantly annihilating them all, clearing the field completely. Under your divine ability, whether they were Saint Realm or Supreme level dark creatures, touching it meant certain death, with no chance of survival…

Witnessing your extraordinary achievements, Yu Daoyi and the other quasi-emperors of Taiyi Emperor Palace were all deeply shocked, exclaiming that you were a monster. Even the severely injured Huang Qin was stunned, then was filled with extreme regret, realizing that her actions might indeed lead to the extinction of the Phoenix Clan…

You paid no attention to the shock of the crowd, your sharp gaze fixed on the direction of the Source of Darkness. With a cold snort, you demanded that the Dark Emperor come out to meet his death…

Your voice resounded throughout the world, and the sudden suppression of the dark chaos was witnessed by the cultivators of this world. In that instant, everyone was filled with anticipation, hoping that you, the suddenly appearing powerhouse, could suppress the Dark Emperor and bring peace to this world. Some devout individuals even knelt and prayed to you…

This world was one ruled by the Dark Emperor. This Dark Emperor was insane, and periodically incited dark chaos, massacring cultivators of Saint Realm and above, not only to devour their essence but also to prevent the emergence of anyone who could attain the Dao…

It can be said that Emperor Hei Cang was the first to attain the Dao Emperor position in this world. Since then, he began his terrifying rule, suppressing other Dao sects and massacring all beings who did not comply. When his lifespan was near its end, all cultivators believed the terrifying rule would end, and the cultivation world would be reborn. Yet, he was the first to fall into darkness…

Since then, Emperor Hei Cang went completely mad, frequently causing dark chaos and slaughtering all cultivators who had the potential to attain the Dao. Because of this, the cultivation world of this realm remained in a half-destroyed state, causing countless cultivators to despair…

Now, seeing a glimpse of hope, how could they not be excited and devout, worshipping you as a celestial deity…

You, not knowing the situation of the cultivators in this world, merely looked coldly in the direction of the Source of Darkness, angrily roaring once more, demanding Emperor Hei Cang to come out and meet his death…

Your words finally angered Emperor Hei Cang within the Source of Darkness. He stepped out, glaring at you, declaring that you, a mere quasi-emperor, dared to provoke him, a great emperor, was courting death…

In response, you showed a mocking expression, stating that a dark emperor was no longer worthy of being called an emperor but was a decayed and fallen anomaly. You paused, then continued, saying that Emperor Hei Cang was merely an ordinary emperor, not worth mentioning…

These words enraged Emperor Hei Cang, and his emperor’s pressure swept across the universe, launching a terrifying attack on you…

In response, you snorted coldly, unmoved. You had already discerned that the Emperor Hei Cang before you was merely an ordinary emperor. Furthermore, having fallen into darkness, he could not exert his full power. Wang Ping was not afraid of him; instead, you were somewhat excited…

After all, you were very curious about your current combat power…

Immediately, you unleashed terrifying divine abilities, clashing with Emperor Hei Cang’s attack. This clash ended up being evenly matched, surprising Emperor Hei Cang…

He never expected that this world would bring forth a being capable of fighting him with only quasi-emperor third-level cultivation. He never imagined that he would one day be challenged across such a significant realm gap…

For a moment, Emperor Hei Cang was furious, releasing a horrifying killing intent. He would not allow such an abnormal being to threaten his rule…

Thus, Emperor Hei Cang attacked again, unleashing even greater power, holding nothing back…

In response, you were not frightened but instead delighted, laughing loudly, unleashing your full power. With your left hand using the Chaos Emperor Fist and your right hand employing spatial divine abilities, you elevated your combat strength to the extreme…

This elicited extreme dread from Emperor Hei Cang. He did not anticipate that you possessed so many terrifying constitutions, especially the Small Chaos Body, the Chaos Heavenly Dao true meaning, and your divine abilities, which left him trembling with fear…

Similarly, Yu Daoyi and the others were also extremely shocked upon witnessing this scene. She never expected that you possessed the Chaos Body, and that your other constitutions had also reached the Great Success Domain, allowing you to unleash such terrifying combat power. This level of power completely surpassed hers…

After all, she could only contend with an ordinary aged emperor and would lose if the battle lasted too long. Previously, even when combined with the quasi-emperors of Taiyi Emperor Palace in a defensive formation, they were no match for the Dark Emperor, suffering severe injuries to their essence…

In light of this, Yu Daoyi could only sigh, acknowledging that you were a true anomaly, the most monstrous being ever born in the Upper Realm. If the opponents in the Immortal Tower were arranged by age, then perhaps no one would be your match. After all, achieving emperor-level combat power at a few hundred years old was unimaginably monstrous, something beyond their comprehension…

During the moment of shock across the various factions, you and Emperor Hei Cang were fiercely battling. Along the way, you used the extraordinary technique of Divine Ability Nullification. However, you discovered that at the emperor level, its effect significantly diminishes. Due to the terrifying recovery ability of emperors, even when attacked, they can immediately regain their form and continue fighting. Moreover, even if one of Emperor Hei Cang’s divine abilities is nullified, he can instantly use other divine abilities. Although these are not as powerful as when fully used, they are still not weak.

Nevertheless, you didn’t mind these factors, becoming more excited as the fight progressed, unleashing your full combat power. Simultaneously, the three Devouring Emperor’s Weapons were also manifesting their prowess, striving to devour Emperor Hei Cang’s essence, energy, and spirit.

Though the three Devouring Emperor’s Weapons weren’t able to showcase their usual terrifying devouring nature against an emperor, they still impacted Emperor Hei Cang. This influence isn’t noticeable in the short term, but as the battle intensifies, it will gradually tip the scales in your favor, allowing Wang Ping to gain a significant advantage.

As the battle continued, several star fields were destroyed by your combat, countless lives perishing tragically. Eventually, Emperor Hei Cang’s sense of impending doom grew stronger.

He realized he couldn’t defeat you. In fact, if the battle dragged on, he might be slain by you. This instilled fear in Emperor Hei Cang.

He didn’t want to fall, least of all in the hands of a cultivator who was merely a quasi-emperor of the third level.

Thus, he directly struck you back, intending to flee into the Source of Darkness. Seeing this, you snorted coldly, chasing after him, intending to kill him completely. After all, since you were transported to this world, it was uncertain if you could return to your original world. Under such circumstances, killing this dark emperor was a necessity.

You aren’t the type to hesitate. When you decided to kill Emperor Hei Cang completely, you directly used a secret technique that harms yourself to kill the enemy, unleashing a terrifying attack.

This time, you were very fortunate, unexpectedly triggering a tenfold critical damage effect. Because of this, your terrifying strike completely shattered Emperor Hei Cang’s fleeing body, severely injuring his essence.

Emperor Hei Cang screamed in terror, unable to believe you possessed such terrifying power. Consequently, he fled even faster.

Seeing this, you frowned and continued the pursuit. This time, you did not use terrifying divine abilities to attack, as they consumed too much power. Now, Emperor Hei Cang could no longer defend against weaker attacks. You deemed it a good choice to use a flurry of attacks in hopes of triggering the seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack effect.

After all, it hadn’t triggered in the previous battle, perhaps it was time for the golden talent: Rock Bottom Rebound to activate.

Watching you batter Emperor Hei Cang to this extent and possibly even kill him, Yu Daoyi and the others were visibly shaken, once again marveling at your monstrous strength.

In the Upper Realm, it’s rare for quasi-emperors at the Great Perfection level to kill an aging ordinary emperor. Even if they lucked out and killed an extremely weakened emperor, they might be taken down together.

The previous generation’s Devouring Immortal Demon Body was among the rare few to kill an aging ordinary emperor with quasi-emperor Great Perfection power. However, her fate was evident: after defeating the aged emperor, she suffered injuries too and was then slain by Emperor Fengxin.

And here you are, with the power of a quasi-emperor at the third level, explosively killing a dark emperor. Although this dark emperor wasn’t as formidable as an unfallen ordinary emperor, he was still far superior to an extremely weakened, aged emperor. If this feat were reported back to the Upper Realm, it would surely astonish everyone, becoming an eternal legend.

As everyone marveled, your gamble paid off, truly triggering the golden talent: Rock Bottom Rebound along with the seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack, killing Emperor Hei Cang on the spot.

With that, Emperor Hei Cang fell, a dark emperor falling by your hands. You achieved the remarkable feat of slaying an emperor.

With Emperor Hei Cang’s fall, cultivators in this world capable of sensing emperor auras were all stunned, then exuding ecstatic expressions, bowing to you.

As for you, after killing Emperor Hei Cang, you felt elated and exhilarated. Unbeknownst to you, you had come this far, filling you with excitement and emotion.

Reflecting on the times when you had just transmigrated and faced various deathly outcomes, having your current combat power truly evokes mixed feelings.

Next, you didn’t dwell on the past, choosing instead to stay vigilant, preventing Emperor Hei Cang from feigning death. Of course, you did not destroy Emperor Hei Cang’s body. After all, an emperor’s corpse, even one whose essence has been greatly damaged by you, is extremely valuable. If devoured by the three Devouring Emperor’s Weapons, many benefits could be gained.

While you remained vigilant, Yu Daoyi and the others were still somewhat dazed, not expecting you to have actually killed a dark emperor. Then, they breathed a sigh of relief, feeling they could now heal in peace.

As they recuperated, you stayed vigilant for a year. Emperor Hei Cang’s body showed no changes. Feeling assured, you broke open his internal world, seeking to claim his treasured possessions.

Soon, you made astonishing discoveries. Emperor Hei Cang, being the ruler of this world, had amassed an enormous amount of resources, including countless supreme divine sources and rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that were everywhere.

Among them, a blood-colored lotus attracted your attention. This blood-colored lotus was filled with terrifying blood energy and resentment, seemingly possessing the souls of countless beings, appearing very anomalous.

You couldn’t help but suspect that Emperor Hei Cang carried out these heinous acts solely to cultivate this blood-colored lotus. Indeed, during the years you remained vigilant, cultivators from this world came to worship you, also informing you about the situation of this world.

Thus, you understood the state of this world and knew Emperor Hei Cang’s renown.

Looking at this blood-colored lotus, you sensed it hadn’t fully matured. If it did, its medicinal effects would be extremely terrifying, potentially elevating even an emperor’s cultivation significantly.

However… Correspondingly, the birth of this blood-colored lotus is extremely bloody, and the resentment and curse it contains are also very terrifying. If taken indiscriminately, it may have an extremely adverse effect on an emperor.

After thinking about it, you believe it shouldn’t be swallowed directly. Instead, you should find a way to resolve its resentment and curse before consuming it, or let the Essence-Devouring Pearl or the Soul Devouring Pearl consume it, converting it into pure mana and essence. Although doing so will surely waste many of the medicinal effects, as long as it ensures safety, that’s enough.

Of course, this blood-colored lotus is very anomalous, and you are unsure whether devouring Emperor’s Weapons will have any effects. However, since it’s just a simulation, it can still be tried.

However, you don’t intend to try it now. You plan to wait until the blood-colored lotus is completely mature before attempting it.

Next, you seal the corpse of Emperor Heicang and store it within your inner world before returning to Yu Daoyi’s side, pondering ways to return to the original Upper Realm.

This seven-colored talent ‘God of Escape’ has a wider teleportation range than the golden talent: Teleportation. It can teleport more people at once, and even emperors can’t limit it. However, this broken talent has a truly long cooldown time… it takes ten thousand years to recharge.

Therefore, relying on the seven-colored talent ‘God of Escape’ to quickly return to the Upper Realm is unrealistic. Besides, its teleportation is entirely random, and you worry this talent might teleport you to strange places.

After considering it, you think it’s unnecessary to overthink. It’s better to honestly cultivate in this world. Reaching the level of quasi-emperor’s Great Perfection or even the emperor’s level in this world wouldn’t waste this simulation. What happens to the future of the Upper Realm isn’t your concern; you can’t manage that much.

In fact, coming to this world may even be a good thing. After all, the Upper Realm is in the Late Law Era and will soon be refined and manipulated by the Nine-Star Pavilion Master, leading to tragic deaths. In contrast, staying in this world is more suitable for cultivation.

With this in mind, you explain this to Yu Daoyi. Yu Daoyi sighs, feeling that there’s no other choice. Although she worries that most of the quasi-emperors and Supremes of Taiyi Emperor Palace escaping to other worlds would cause Taiyi Emperor Palace to fall into its weakest era, causing great pressure on her father, there’s nothing to be done if everyone can’t return.

You discuss with Yu Daoyi and decide to establish your sect in this world, spreading the name of Taiyi Emperor Palace here.

For this, you take action, directly establishing your sect in the most prosperous star field of this world. Due to you killing Emperor Heicang, your reputation is terrifyingly high.

As a result, most cultivators in this universe dream of joining Taiyi Emperor Palace and becoming its disciples.

As for this, you anticipated it, setting a very high threshold. Only those with the potential to become Saints are qualified to be outer disciples of Taiyi Emperor Palace.

This disciple recruitment standard is undoubtedly very high in this world, but it still can’t dampen the enthusiasm of the cultivators. After all, Taiyi Emperor Palace has emperor-level combat strength, along with many quasi-emperors and Supremes. It’s the strongest force in history. Joining it would be a great fortune, a meteoric rise.

In such circumstances, Taiyi Emperor Palace quickly prospered.

You have no intention of managing it, entrusting all management to Taiyi Emperor Palace’s Supremes. Instead, you, Yu Daoyi, and the quasi-emperor ancestors entered a state of seclusion.

Through the Essence-Devouring Pearl, Soul Devouring Pearl, and Mana Devouring Pearl, you devour Emperor Heicang, converting him into your power. This process is very slow. After all, emperors are extremely powerful, and the three devouring Emperor’s Weapons also need time to transform. Moreover, although your combat strength is strong, your cultivation isn’t high enough and needs to be slowly absorbed and refined. Otherwise, rushing would easily lead to issues.

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years pass. During these ten thousand years, you have been diligently cultivating. Your cultivation mainly focuses on improving your realm, physical strength, and spirit strength. You show no intention of cultivating other aspects.

Ultimately, your realm steadily advanced to the ninth level of quasi-emperors within these ten thousand years.

If this news were to spread, it would surely scare countless cultivators. After all, at the quasi-emperor level, even advancing one minor realm in ten thousand years is extremely perverse, let alone directly reaching the ninth level from the peak of the third level, an escalation of six realms.

Although this is due to the assistance of the devouring Emperor’s Weapons, it’s still terrifying.

However, you are still not particularly satisfied with your cultivation. Because you suddenly realize one thing: your path seems to have strayed.

The three realms of Dao verification, especially breaking through to the Supreme, requires condensing the Dao Fruit, which is essential for setting the future path. When breaking through to the emperor, this path is completely settled and cannot be altered.

When you broke through to the Supreme, you condensed the Spacetime Dao Fruit. Although it’s strong, it ultimately falls short compared to the Chaos Dao Fruit.
