267 – The Seventh Seven-colored Talent! The Celestial Source!

Next, after Emperor Tianyu instructed the Supreme Palace Master of Taiyi Emperor Palace and some old monsters on a few things, he left Taiyi Emperor Palace.

This left the Supreme Palace Master of Taiyi Emperor Palace completely baffled.

Goodness, in the blink of an eye, his position as Palace Master was gone. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

However, since Wang Ping, such a monster, was taking over his position, he dared not complain.

One could even say he was eager for Wang Ping to become the new Palace Master.

With a Palace Master like Wang Ping, Taiyi Emperor Palace was truly about to embark on its most glorious era. Elevating the entire sect to become immortals wasn’t just a dream.

By that time, he could comfortably retire and make his way to the Immortal Realm for a leisurely long life.

However, the Supreme Palace Master of Taiyi Emperor Palace hadn’t been happy for long before Wang Ping delegated the tasks to him, making him the acting Palace Master to handle various trivial matters.

There was no choice; Wang Ping didn’t have the free time to deal with all the large and small matters of Taiyi Emperor Palace.

To Wang Ping, time in the real world was still very precious.

As such, although the Supreme Palace Master of Taiyi Emperor Palace felt helpless, he had no choice but to continue handling those trivial matters.

On Wang Ping’s end, after becoming a hands-off boss, he came to the secret land of Taiyi Emperor Palace, intending to conduct another Paid Simulation.

This time, he hoped to climb to the top of the Immortal Tower, gain its recognition, and become an Emperor.

If that happened, it would be immensely satisfying.

Once he became an Emperor, perhaps the only cultivators in the Upper Realm who could make him cautious would be characters of the Emperor level and those three quasi-immortals.

Of course, places like the forbidden land of Great Origin, the Realm of Life and Death, and the Source of Darkness didn’t count. Wang Ping was considering the threats among cultivators.

“System, I want to conduct a Paid Simulation.”

Immediately, Wang Ping said in his heart.

“Ding, consuming five billion jin of top-grade divine sources, the Life Simulator is activated, refreshing talent…”

The System’s voice rang out.

“Ding, talent refresh successful. Congratulations to the host for successfully refreshing the Seven-Colored Talent: Cassine’s Guillotine; and the Purple Talent: Blood Drinking Sword.”

Seven-Colored Talent: Cassine’s Guillotine: A one-time use talent. After using this talent, you can designate a target and decapitate them, causing them to die completely.

PS: To use this talent, you must see the target’s face and know their name or title. However, this talent only works on individuals at or below the Great Emperor level. Please use cautiously.

Purple Talent: Blood Drinking Sword: With this talent, the host can convert some damage into healing effects during combat.

“Holy crap!”

Wang Ping was stunned upon seeing this newly refreshed Seven-Colored Talent.

There was no way around it; this Seven-Colored Talent was just too overpowered. It’s no exaggeration to say that whoever it was used on, they would definitely die, and it would be an absolute death, impossible to resurrect.

You must know, Emperor-level characters are Great Emperors. They’re not above the Great Emperor level, just revered among Emperors. It’s not to say their cultivation exceeds the Great Emperor level by half a step.

It’s just that becoming an Emperor is incredibly difficult.

First, one must comprehend the true meaning of the Heavenly Dao to the Great Perfection level and possess a special constitution surpassing the Sacred Body, also reaching Great Perfection.

For instance, powerful physiques like the Spacetime Dao Body or the Destruction Dao Body.

The third point is the cultivation level of Great Perfection in the Great Emperor realm.

Only by meeting these three conditions can one be called an Emperor Sovereign, the Sovereign among Emperors.

Take Emperor Tianyu, for example. The reason he is only a top-tier Great Emperor and not an Emperor Sovereign is because he lacks the conditions to become one.

Emperor Tianyu’s physique cannot compare to the Spacetime Dao Body, a physique that surpasses the top-tier Sacred Body.

Moreover, Emperor Tianyu’s comprehension of the Heavenly Dao true meaning has not reached the level of Great Perfection. Achieving perfection in the Heavenly Dao true meaning is incredibly difficult.

Besides, ordinary Dao cannot compare to the Spacetime and Destruction Dao, creating a difference.

Thus, an Emperor Sovereign is far stronger than a top-tier Great Emperor.

Even Wang Ping, if he were to prove his Dao and become an Emperor, would find it difficult to fight an Emperor Sovereign with an initial-stage Emperor realm cultivation. The gap in cultivation and comprehension of the Heavenly Dao true meaning would be too vast.

Although the Chaos Heavenly Dao true meaning is invincible in the same realm, the difference in levels is still a problem.

Therefore, the effect of this seven-colored talent is truly powerful, capable of causing an Emperor Sovereign to die instantly.

This effect is undoubtedly a top-tier seven-colored talent.

After all, the level of the seven-colored talents usually corresponds to supreme, quasi-emperor, or great emperor. Talents that significantly affect Emperor Sovereigns are extremely rare.

Besides, Wang Ping also thought of another use for this talent.

“Alpha, if I use this talent on the sci-fi anomaly, can I kill it?”

Wang Ping’s eyes gleamed expectantly as he asked.

“Theoretically, yes. However, you must know the host and the name or code name of the anomaly.”

Alpha contemplated before replying.

“As long as it’s effective, it’s another trump card against it.”

Wang Ping’s lips curled slightly as he murmured to himself.

“Of course, in the upcoming paid simulations, this talent will also be greatly useful.”

After a pause, Wang Ping added another sentence.

Then, Wang Ping calmed his mind and silently said in his heart, “System, I choose the seven-colored talent: Cassine’s Guillotine.”

“Ding, talent selection successful, Life Simulation begins…”

The System’s voice echoed, and Wang Ping felt his consciousness sway as he entered an immersive simulation state.

Then, the screen appeared, and familiar text floated into view.

【On the first day, you chose to find a way to collect the jade talisman of golden light. It must be said, your current reputation is truly useful; no one dares show you disrespect. Those quasi-emperors meekly handed over the jade talismans of golden light to you, eager for you to take them. After all, this was a chance to build a connection with you.】

【You were quite satisfied with this and once again marveled at how beneficial strength and reputation are.】

【After collecting the jade talismans, you did not immediately open the secret realm of the Immortal Tower but chose to wait for Emperor Tianyu to return with Yu Daoyi and then have Yu Daoyi join you in entering the secret realm. After all, you couldn’t let Yu Daoyi miss out on the benefits.】

【When Yu Daoyi and Emperor Tianyu returned, you chose to use the Taiyi Emperor Tower to open the secret realm of the Immortal Tower.】

【A startling phenomenon occurred, attracting the attention of Upper Realm cultivators. The Upper Realm cultivators were shocked. You did not pay them any mind and chose to enter the secret realm.】

【This time after entering the secret realm, instead of foolishly waiting for the Immortal Tower to appear and then entering at the first opportunity, you chose to explore the secret realm, intending to find some fortuitous encounters.】

【Initially, in prior simulations, you lacked strength and often waited for the Immortal Tower to appear. Either your strength was insufficient, so you could only hunt in secret and use the three Natural Emperor’s Weapons to increase your power; in terms of seeking fortuitous encounters, you had never truly put your heart into it and had chosen a more conservative approach, not keen on contending with others.】

【Subsequently, you started wandering in the secret realm, hunting fierce beasts and using the three Devouring Emperor’s Weapons to absorb them. This time, whenever a major battle broke out, you rushed over. Because your strength was terrifying enough, combined with your understanding of spacetime and chaos, you could always arrive at the battle instantly.】

【As a result, many cultivators who wanted to quickly resolve their battles and take their treasures had their plans thwarted. When they saw you, they felt more miserable than eating feces, yet they couldn’t say anything harsh or claim they found the treasure first. They could only awkwardly salute you and leave the scene hastily, fearing that if they stayed a bit longer, they would be directly killed by you.】

【Regarding this result, your expression was quite subtle. However, you didn’t say much, merely silently memorizing the location of the treasure, taking it away, and then heading to the next destination.】

【In your view, there are many good things in this secret realm. As long as you memorize the locations of all the treasures, you can come back in reality to take them all, which would make you quite comfortable.】

【However, your behavior of instantly rushing to the battlefield whenever an earth-shattering battle broke out caused the ancient monsters in the secret realm to grumble with resentment, but they didn’t dare say much. After all, your strength was too formidable; you could annihilate an Emperor in seconds—not to mention them. Additionally, this secret realm was opened by you, so they dared not say much at all.】

【Because of this, you reaped significant rewards and obtained many good things, including world-shocking medicinal herbs useful for healing Emperors.】

【In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred years have passed. At the time when the Immortal Tower is about to appear again, you found another fortuitous encounter.】

【This fortuitous encounter turned out to be the Yuan Tian Emperor Crystal, a stone mine known in the Upper Realm as the most suitable material for forging Emperor’s Weapons. When you saw this stone mine, you revealed a look of surprise.】

【After all, although you possess three Natural Emperor’s Weapons and the Taiyi Emperor Tower, an Emperor’s Weapon close to a quasi-immortal artifact, and even have thoughts about immortal artifacts, you still have not given up on nurturing your Life-bound Weapon.】

【After all, a Life-bound Weapon is the weapon that can most closely align with one’s own Dao. At the same level, it can allow you to exhibit greater combat strength. Therefore, if you could forge a Chaos Emperor Weapon with the Yuan Tian Emperor Crystal, it would undoubtedly be a great thing.】

【After the joy in your heart, you looked towards the Destruction Quasi-Emperor next to the Yuan Tian Emperor Crystal, squinting your eyes, as a murderous intent rose in your heart. You swore in a past simulation to kill the Destruction Quasi-Emperor, a vow you have not forgotten. Additionally, given the deep hatred Emperor Tianyu holds for the Emperor of Destruction, and the gratitude for the favors you received from Emperor Tianyu, it is necessary to help him avenge by exterminating the Emperor of Destruction and his descendants.】

【At this moment, the Destruction Quasi-Emperor hadn’t yet realized you had murderous intent. His expression fluctuated, but ultimately he gritted his teeth and reached for the Yuan Tian Emperor Crystal, claiming he discovered it first and it should rightfully belong to him.】

【Seeing this, you let out a cold snort and directly performed a divine ability. Before the Destruction Quasi-Emperor could react, his body twisted, causing one side of his body to explode.】

【Suffering such damage, the Destruction Quasi-Emperor grunted in pain, his face pale. Even at his level, with astonishing recovery abilities, it still depended on who made the move. Even if another top-tier quasi-emperor attacked him, his origin would still be damaged. Although he could recover quickly, being injured was still reality. In front of someone like you who can defeat Emperors, it was impossible for him to recover quickly, and a simple strike caused him severe wounds.】

【Although top-tier quasi-emperors are powerful, they are ultimately just beings who can fight against aging ordinary emperors. Fighting for too long would lead to defeat, thus they are no match for you now.】

【Immediately, the Destruction Quasi-Emperor’s face turned ugly, and he shouted that his father was the Emperor of Destruction. If you dared to kill him, even if his father was in seclusion, he would come out and completely kill you.】

【Upon hearing this, you laughed coldly, saying you were just troubled about not knowing where the Emperor of Destruction was. If killing the Destruction Quasi-Emperor would make him appear, it would be another reason to kill him.】

【Then you stated that you hated being threatened the most in your life, so he should just die.】

【Seeing your resolve to kill, and even intending to target his father, the Emperor of Destruction, the Destruction Quasi-Emperor felt a bit of despair. However, to become a top-tier quasi-emperor, he was not a coward afraid of death, and he decisively chose to self-destruct.】

【However, as the Destruction Quasi-Emperor was about to self-destruct, you used the Origin-Breaking Divine Eyes to see the abnormal energy within his body. You revealed a mocking expression, directly suppressing him and causing his self-destruction to fail.】

【This caused the Destruction Quasi-Emperor’s expression to change drastically. Unexpectedly, he couldn’t even self-destruct, making him extremely aggrieved. He also realized he would face extremely humiliating treatment in the future.】

【The Destruction Quasi-Emperor’s guess was correct. After suppressing him, you summoned three Devouring Emperor’s Weapons. Seeing these three Devouring Emperor’s Weapons, he revealed a look of terror.】

【He wasn’t afraid of death, but if dying meant becoming a nutrient for your power, he would undoubtedly die with unresolved resentment. Moreover, the Soul Devouring Pearl was too sinister. If used to devour his soul, it could extract his memories.】

【Immediately, the Destruction Quasi-Emperor attempted to destroy his own soul. However, by the time he had this thought, it was already too late. You used a divine ability combined with the Soul Devouring Pearl to suppress his soul directly, then proceeded with the devouring.】

【This made the Destruction Quasi-Emperor cry out in agony. Even with his top-tier quasi-emperor’s indomitable will, the feeling of being devoured alive, with his soul being violently torn apart, was too painful.】

【Eventually, everything of the Destruction Quasi-Emperor was devoured by the three Natural Emperor’s Weapons, and you gained his memories, learning many secrets, including the whereabouts of the Emperor of Destruction.】

【You had heard from Emperor Tianyu that the Emperor of Destruction had disappeared without a trace, and you were curious about where he went. As an Emperor, it was impossible for him to suddenly vanish without a cause; self-seclusion was highly likely.】

【As an Emperor, he couldn’t hide without a purpose, and it was likely he had acquired a significant fortuitous encounter. Now, your speculations seemed to be confirmed.】

The Emperor of Destruction unexpectedly discovered a place where a quasi-immortal had entered a seated meditation and passed away. After the quasi-immortal’s passing, their essence transformed into an immortal source, turning that place into an astonishing sanctuary. Of course, the sanctuary itself is not the key; the most crucial part is the immortal source…

The immortal source left by a quasi-immortal is an incredibly rare opportunity. If the Emperor of Destruction could successfully refine it, he might have a chance to break through to the quasi-immortal level and become the world’s fourth quasi-immortal…

Of course, although that’s the case, given that the Emperor of Destruction has been missing for many years, and he didn’t show up even when the Nine-Star Pavilion Master was refining the Upper Realm, the possibility of him successfully refining the immortal source is very low. Either there wasn’t enough time, or he failed…

Nevertheless, this opportunity excites you. If you could reach that secret place and obtain the immortal source, it would bring extraordinary benefits to your cultivation…

“Well, well, even before the immortal fate appears, the immortal source has emerged. This truly is an earth-shattering opportunity…”

Wang Ping looked at the text simulated by the System, feeling emotional…

“Without the seven-colored talent: Cassine’s Guillotine, confronting the Emperor of Destruction would be extremely difficult. Unfortunately for him, I drew this talent, so it’s time for the Emperor of Destruction to fall…”

Wang Ping thought of the seven-colored talent: Cassine’s Guillotine again and couldn’t help but smile…

Next, Wang Ping calmed his emotions and continued staring at the screen…

Following that, you did not choose to absorb the energy from the three innate Emperor’s Weapons but went to the place where the Immortal Tower is located. Shortly after, the Immortal Tower appeared…

The appearance of the Immortal Tower startled many cultivators, and they all rushed over. As for you, you directly used the key formed by the Taiyi Emperor Tower and the jade talisman of golden light to enter and begin climbing the tower…

Because your cultivation reached the quasi-emperor’s Great Perfection, your opponents also reached the level of quasi-emperor’s Great Perfection, becoming extremely powerful. You’ve already prepared mentally and didn’t take them lightly. Despite this, at the beginning, you still swept through all your opponents with ease…

Soon, you reached the top thousand, the top five hundred, and advanced to the top three hundred…

This scene shocked the cultivators who followed you in. They immediately thought of you, believing it must be you climbing the tower. After all, in the Upper Realm, only you have such monstrous combat power. Your strength is so abnormal that everyone thinks even a legendary Immortal couldn’t compare with you when you were a quasi-emperor…

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, you continued to dominate your way up, rapidly increasing your ranking, surging into the top two hundred and even the top one hundred…

When you reached the top one hundred, your progress slowed down a bit but you still showed a stance of breaking through each level…

Eventually, you successfully broke into the top fifty and then the top thirty. This scene left countless cultivators in awe. They believed you were likely going to reach the top of the Immortal Tower. No one doubted you, given your truly abnormal performance…

Thinking of you about to reach the top, these cultivators became inexplicably excited. After all, they had the honor of witnessing the rise of an individual capable of dominating past and present, an unrivaled figure throughout history…

At the same time, they felt you might have the power to forcibly penetrate through to the Immortal Domain. If so, they might follow you to the Immortal Domain…

For this reason, some cultivators gave up competing for immortal fates, instead eagerly anticipating your ascent to the top of the Immortal Tower, hoping to see you become immortal…

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, you continued storming through the levels, successfully reaching the top ten. When you reached the top ten, the pressure significantly increased. These monsters in the top ten of the Immortal Tower were indeed extremely strong…

Nonetheless, you faced them without fear, fought fiercely, and defeated them…

In the end, you battled your way to the second rank of the Immortal Tower. The second in the Immortal Tower was far stronger than the others, leaving even you astonished. Because he not only had dual-immortal bloodlines but also possessed a world-shaking immortal physique, stronger than the Great Thunder Immortal Physique, and had developed it to perfection. Besides, he had comprehended eighty percent of the Heavenly Dao true meaning. To comprehend eighty percent of the Heavenly Dao true meaning with quasi-emperor’s Great Perfection cultivation was indeed monstrous…

Facing such an opponent, even you felt immense pressure and were at a disadvantage more than once. After all, your Great Perfection Spacetime Dao Body and undeveloped Small Chaos Body couldn’t match such a terrifying perfect immortal physique. Although your Chaos Emperor’s Scripture was extraordinarily powerful, giving you an advantage in terms of techniques, it still couldn’t make up for the other shortcomings…

However, you are not one to be trifled with. Under such circumstances, you stubbornly refrained from activating the talent ability of seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack. Instead, you relied on your own battle strength to contend, aiming to break through your limits…

In the end, you truly broke through your limits, comprehending seventy percent of the Chaos true meaning. Relying on the effect of seventy percent Chaos true meaning, you fought him fiercely, gained the upper hand, and after an extremely intense battle, you successfully defeated him and took his ranking…

Seeing this, everyone was astonished. However, they also wondered if you would reach the top, given that you were stuck for a long time during the battle with the second rank…

You didn’t know what others were thinking, but you remembered the name of this opponent who forced you to break through your limits: Lu Daoxian…

Next, with your state fully restored, you arrived at the next level. Then, you were shocked because this person’s physique was actually the Chaos Body…

This surprised you a lot, as you didn’t expect that even in ancient times, there were those with a Chaos Body. But again, you felt this was totally normal. After all, if the world hadn’t seen a Chaos Body before, the legends surrounding it wouldn’t exist…

Then, you became excited. Though you knew very well that the likely result of a battle with this Chaos Body was your defeat, you didn’t care about losing. What mattered to you was learning something from this Chaos Body. Perhaps in the process of fighting the Chaos Body, you could grasp the true essence of the Chaos Body, which would greatly aid in refining and developing your own Chaos Body…

Next, you engage in an intense battle with him. From the very start, you unleash all your power without any reservation. However, you still underestimate the true strength of your opponent…

Facing your terrifying attacks, he effortlessly deflects them and counters with even more horrifying attacks. He too has mastered the Chaos Emperor’s Scripture, though the content and abilities clearly differ from yours. Moreover, he has also comprehended the true meaning of the Chaos Heavenly Dao to a terrifying degree of eighty percent.

Even though he is not going all out, he still easily deflects your attacks and puts you in a situation of mortal danger.

Faced with such terrifying attacks, your face changes dramatically, and you unhesitatingly use the effect of your Golden Talent: Damage Nullification to successfully block the attack. Then, you activate all your seven-colored talents, intending to fight him with everything you have.

This time, you are very fortunate; you trigger a high multiplicative critical damage effect along with a dual-attack effect. However, even with this, the owner of the Chaos Body easily deflects it. The gap between the two of you is simply too vast…

Feeling unwilling, you have the impulse to use your seven-colored talent: Cassine’s Guillotine. However, you suppress the thought and continue to fight him. This time, you shift from a strong offensive to a more tactical combat, trying to stall for time and grasp his Dao’s mysteries.

Despite this, the gap in your battle prowess is still too great. You are not his match and are killed by him within a quarter of an hour. This happens even when he isn’t taking the fight seriously; if he were serious, you would probably have died even quicker.

Upon being defeated by him, you are not disheartened but surprisingly excited. The battle with him has yielded many gains for you. As long as you return and consolidate these gains, there is hope you can comprehend eighty percent of the Chaos Heavenly Dao true meaning and further perfect your Chaos Emperor’s Scripture.

Of course, before that, you have an even stronger desire to acquire a complete Chaos Body. In your view, having a complete Chaos Body would not only provide a massive boost to your battle prowess but also better assist you in understanding the Dao of Chaos.

Next, thanks to the Rebirth Talisman, you revive and continue the intense battle with him. This time, after considering your options, you decide to use your seven-colored talent: Cassine’s Guillotine.

Although you originally intended to save this talent for dealing with the Emperor of Destruction, you are but one step away from reaching the top rank of the Immortal Tower. You are deeply curious about the reward for becoming the first to reach the summit and whether the Immortal Tower will acknowledge a master.

You believe the likelihood of the Immortal Tower acknowledging a master is very slim, but you haven’t given up trying.

Finally, leveraging the tyrannical effect of your seven-colored talent: Cassine’s Guillotine, you forcefully eliminate the Chaos Body owner Ye Cang.

However, something unexpected happens. After killing Ye Cang with your talent, the Immortal Tower does not acknowledge your victory and still ranks you in second place.

You feel quite helpless about this. Evidently, the spirit of the Immortal Tower has noticed something and refuses to recognize this battle’s outcome. Clearly, to truly claim the top spot, you must rely on your own formidable combat power and face your opponent head-on, rather than using such underhanded tactics.

Due to this, you feel a sense of regret, thinking that you have failed miserably in trying to outwit others. You somewhat regret wasting the one-time use of your seven-colored talent: Cassine’s Guillotine. Yet, since it’s already been used, you have no choice but to calm your mind and learn from this lesson.

Next, you commit Ye Cang’s appearance to memory, believing there’s a chance you may encounter him again in the Immortal Realm. Though you wonder how strong he has become now…

The Chaos Body is a top-tier physique even in the Immortal Realm, rivaled only by the extremely rare top-level Immortal Physique. Someone like Ye Cang, even in the Immortal Realm, could never remain obscure and must have grown to an unimaginable level.

Subsequently, you are teleported out of the Immortal Tower. Those outside, seeing you fail to conquer the tower and rank only second, reveal expressions of disbelief.

You have grown so powerful yet still can’t claim the top spot of the Immortal Tower. Just how terrifyingly strong is the first rank of this Immortal Tower?

Yu Daoyi is also deeply shocked and regretful, asking just what kind of monster holds the first rank that even you cannot defeat.

You do not hide the truth and choose to tell them. Upon hearing that the first rank of the Immortal Tower belongs to someone with the legendary Chaos Body, both Yu Daoyi and the others are utterly stunned. They also understand why you failed.

After all, both of you follow the Dao of Chaos. How could someone with a Chaos Body possibly lose to you, who do not possess a Chaos Body? Although your ability to tread this path without a Chaos Body is already astonishing, it ultimately cannot compare to a true Chaos Body…

At the same time, the Cultivators present finally learn who is the greatest prodigy since the Upper Realm’s inception. It is Chaos Body: Ye Cang, who truly stands undefeated across all time.

At that moment, a celestial voice appears, announcing that your reward for reaching second place is a lump of divine source. Then, an incredibly pure divine source materializes before everyone.

With the appearance of the celestial voice, everyone is stunned, showing expressions of fervor. After all, this is divine source. While the requirements for becoming immortal remain unknown, possessing divine source definitely makes it easier to achieve immortality. Even if one cannot become truly immortal, there is still hope to become a quasi-immortal or a pseudo-immortal.

At that level, one would certainly possess incredible longevity, and their combat power would rise to unimaginable heights.

You, too, are quite surprised. You didn’t expect the reward for reaching second place in the Immortal Tower to be a lump of divine source. Originally, you planned to seek out the Emperor of Destruction to seize divine source; now, you have already obtained a lump.

You then glance at the Cultivators, whose faces are full of fervor and greed, and let out a cold snort. As you snort, the Cultivators come to their senses, sweat covering their faces…

After all, it’s you who holds the divine source. Even though you didn’t reach the summit of the Immortal Tower, with your combat power, wiping out all of them by yourself would be an easy task…
