Chapter 1730 The Mandate of the Divine Emperor
……
"Zhang Bairen!"
In a void, the Jade Emperor was resting when he suddenly heard a name that was both familiar and unfamiliar, which made him pause.
Who is Zhang Bairen?
He subconsciously asked himself the same question, but he quickly realized that his real name was Zhang Bairen.
It turns out it was his turn to be replaced.
"Who are you? How do you know my name?"
The Jade Emperor raised his head slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
Even he had almost forgotten this name, so the fact that someone actually knew it was quite a shock to him.
"I am the Nine Heavens Mystic God Emperor, and your aptitude is quite good. Would you be willing to become my disciple? I am willing to give my all and pass on my inherited techniques to you!"
The ethereal voice continued its seductive pronouncements.
In fact, Zhang Bairen's aptitude was only barely passable in his eyes, but the people he had encountered before were all worse than the last, and he really had no other choice. If he did not pass on his mantle, he was afraid he would never have another chance.
"Nine Heavens Mystic God Emperor?"
Zhang Bairen frowned slightly and couldn't help but say, "I've never heard of you before. What level of cultivation do you possess? What makes me think I should become your disciple?"
"I existed in ancient times, and was a god-emperor who ruled over a region of the universe. At my peak, my cultivation was at the peak of the Dao God realm!"
"Well, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
"I don't want to."
Zhang Bairen refused outright, fearing a trap and not daring to agree rashly! After all, some powerful individuals would seize this opportunity to regenerate, and although he was currently at the mid-stage of the Dao Immortal Lord realm, he was still two major realms away from becoming a Dao God!
Nine Heavens Mystic God Emperor: "..."
"Unwilling? Hmph, that's not up to you. Since you've accidentally come to my territory, even if you don't want to, it's no use!"
With a cold snort, the surrounding void instantly transformed into a cage, trapping Zhang Bairen inside.
"Whether you accept it or not, you have to accept it!"
"My divine emperor's legacy is an immense blessing for you!"
The moment the void cage closed, countless gilded runes instantly wrapped around Zhang Bairen's limbs and bones, with the pressure of the laws of the peak of the Dao God flowing between the runes!
"You're absolutely stubborn!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic God Emperor's voice was filled with anger, yet he couldn't hide a trace of urgency. "I, the God Emperor, only have a wisp of my remnant soul left, and my days are numbered. Today, you have to accept this inheritance whether you like it or not!"
Before the words were finished, a dazzling golden core of light suddenly condensed on the dome of the cage, and the phantom image of the remnant soul of the Xuan Shen Emperor appeared in the core of light!
Although only its outline remained, it still exuded a divine might that looked down upon the universe. The Nine Heavens Profound God Laws surrounding it were so real that they instantly suppressed Zhang Bairen's cultivation at the mid-stage of the Immortal Lord Realm, making even his breathing difficult.
The light core slowly descended, and the moment it touched Zhang Bairen's crown, it exploded with a bang, turning into thousands of golden streams of light that surged into his body!
"boom!"
Zhang Bairen felt a thunderclap in his sea of consciousness, and countless inherited information, profound meanings of cultivation techniques, and insights into laws surged in like a flood. The complete method of the "Nine Heavens Profound God Technique" was engraved deep in his soul like a brand!
"Endure it! If you can't hold on, you'll explode and die!"
The voice of the Xuan Shen Emperor echoed in his mind, carrying an undeniable resolve.
"Mid-stage Dao Immortal Lord Realm, breaking through to the late stage!"
Xuan Shenhuang let out a low shout, and the power of inheritance suddenly surged, like an invisible giant hand, forcefully pushing against Zhang Bairen's realm barrier.
Zhang Bairen felt a throbbing pain in his body, as if it were about to burst. His cultivation barrier was like an impenetrable wall, and no matter how much the power of inheritance attacked, only tiny cracks appeared.
He clenched his teeth, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but he refused to give in. He secretly channeled his remaining spiritual power, trying to guide this violent force through the "Nine Heavens Profound God Technique"!
"Fool! How can you hold back now!"
The Mystic God Emperor roared, and his remnant soul phantom exerted its power in his sea of consciousness, a pure Mystic God Law piercing the barrier of his realm like a sharp sword.
"Crack!"
A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the barrier of the mid-stage Dao Immortal Lord realm shattered. The surging power of inheritance poured in like a flood bursting its banks, and Zhang Bairen's cultivation instantly leaped to the late-stage Dao Immortal Lord realm.
But the legacy didn't stop. The voice of the Xuan Shen Emperor carried a desperate madness: "Press the attack! Break through to the peak of the Immortal Lord realm!"
"boom!"
With another loud bang, the barrier of the peak Dao Immortal Lord realm was easily broken through. The golden spiritual power within his body became more and more solid, carrying a faint pressure, and its power increased several times compared to before.
Zhang Bairen could clearly feel that his perception range had expanded more than tenfold, and he could draw upon the surrounding spiritual energy with every move he made!
Is this the strength of the peak Immortal Lord realm?
But the God Emperor still did not stop; the remnant soul phantom flickered with a faint light, clearly indicating that it had consumed a great deal of energy.
"The final step! The Limitless Realm of the Dao! Today, I will help you take this step!"
At this moment, Zhang Bairen's sea of consciousness instantly became boundless, with countless fragments of laws flying and recombining within it.
His soul was also growing stronger under the nourishment of the Profound God Origin, and even the golden spiritual power in his body began to transform, gradually turning into a chaotic color!
"The Law of Limitlessness, all laws share the same origin, the Mysterious Spirit returns to oneness!"
Zhang Bairen spoke subconsciously, his voice carrying a faint Daoist charm. At this moment, the barrier of the peak of the Dao Immortal Monarch Realm was as fragile as paper and was easily broken through!
"boom!"
An aura far surpassing that of the peak of the Immortal Lord realm erupted from Zhang Bairen's body. The Void Cage shattered inch by inch under this aura, turning into dust everywhere!
His figure floated in the void, surrounded by a faint chaotic aura!
As the power of inheritance gradually subsided, the remnant soul of the Xuan Shen Emperor became increasingly illusory, almost dissipating into his sea of consciousness.
"Finally... we succeeded..."
The Mysterious God Emperor's voice carried a hint of relief, "Zhang Bairen, I have now fully passed on my legacy to you. The 'Nine Heavens Mysterious God Technique' is divided into nine levels, and you have only comprehended the first three. You will need to explore the rest on your own..."
"Thank you, senior."
Zhang Bairen bowed respectfully to the illusory image of the remnant soul in his sea of consciousness.
At this moment, he felt no resistance whatsoever, only gratitude and awe.
He never imagined that he could break through from the mid-stage of the Dao Immortal Lord Realm to the Dao Limitless Realm in just one day. Normally, even 100,000 years of hard cultivation might not be enough to achieve this!
The remnant soul of the Xuan Shen Emperor smiled slightly, and finally transformed into specks of golden light, completely dissipating into the sea of consciousness.
Zhang Bairen slowly opened his eyes, a flash of chaotic energy passing through them, and the boundless pressure around him gradually subsided.
He raised his hand and waved it, and a chaotic energy beam shot out, instantly tearing apart the void in front of him and revealing a passage to the outside world.
"The Limitless Realm of the Dao..."
Zhang Bairen felt the surging power within him and was filled with emotion.
He could clearly feel that his strength had increased more than a hundredfold compared to before!
He attempted to circulate the "Nine Heavens Profound God Technique," and chaotic energy surged around his body, condensing into a long sword of chaotic color. The long sword contained the power of limitless destruction, capable of severing all illusions in the world.
"Mysterious God Suppresses the Universe!"
He let out a low shout and slashed out with his longsword. A chaotic sword aura tens of thousands of feet long shot out, instantly annihilating the void space in front of him. Its power was terrifying.
"Now, it's time to leave this place."
Zhang Bairen moved swiftly, unleashing the "Divine Emperor Breaking Boundaries" divine power, instantly traversing the void and appearing within the universe!
His speed increased countless times compared to before, and he could traverse tens of thousands of miles in a single step!
……
"It seems he should leave."
After looking around, Zhang Bairen couldn't help but feel disappointed. He had been chased here by a god in the late stage of the Dao Immortal Lord realm. Later, he escaped into the void space, which was how he managed to save his life!
Zhang Bairen never expected to receive the God Emperor's inheritance here, which greatly increased his strength!
If that deity were outside, Zhang Bairen would definitely kill him; otherwise, he would find it hard to quell his anger!
Did they really escape?
A cold glint flashed in Zhang Bairen's eyes as his perception accurately detected a familiar divine power—the very aura of the divine race that had been chasing him. At this moment, the other party was still lingering outside the void. If he hadn't carefully examined it, he probably wouldn't have been able to sense it at all!
With a swift movement, the "Divine Emperor Breaking Boundaries" divine power was activated, and in one step, he appeared hundreds of thousands of miles away, the figure of that god clearly imprinted in his sea of consciousness.
The other party was leaning against a meteorite, playing with the spear in his hand. The spiritual energy fluctuations around him were still at the late stage of the Dao Immortal Lord realm. His face was full of disdain, clearly believing that Zhang Bairen had already perished in the void.
"I didn't expect you to dare to come out?"
The gods noticed the commotion, looked up, and saw Zhang Bairen. A hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, which then turned into a ferocious smile. "It seems the Void Space didn't kill you, but it did let you live a little longer. Very well, today I will completely kill you, so as not to offend my eyes."
With that, he leaped into the air, his spear condensing black spiritual energy, and unleashed a spear beam tens of thousands of feet long, heading straight for Zhang Bairen's face.
This attack was even more ferocious than the previous pursuit, clearly intended to kill in one blow.
Zhang Bairen stood still, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
Previously, this attack would have been enough to send him fleeing in disarray, but now, faced with the strength of the Dao Limitless Realm, it was nothing more than a child's play. He raised his hand and waved, and the chaotic energy around him surged, forming an invisible barrier. The spear light struck the barrier and vanished instantly, like a drop of water falling into the sea, without even causing a ripple.
"what?"
The god's expression changed drastically, his disdain instantly turning into shock, "Your cultivation... how is that possible?"
He could clearly feel that the pressure within Zhang Bairen's body was far greater than before; it was a power that made his soul tremble, something that even a Dao Immortal Lord could not achieve.
"Thanks to you, this is just a blessing in disguise."
Zhang Bairen spoke calmly, his figure flashed, and he appeared in front of the god. A wisp of chaotic sword energy condensed at his fingertips. "You chased me to the ends of the earth before. Today, I will pay for your debt with your life."
"No! You can't kill me! I, I am the son of the city lord..." The god's face showed fear as he retreated and roared, trying to intimidate with his identity!
"so what?"
Zhang Bairen sneered, and the sword energy between his fingers pierced straight into the latter's brow, causing his complete demise.
