Chapter 645 - Murong Xuan Reaches the Emperor’s Throne, Qin Tianchen’s Wild Ambition

All the Sovereign’s eyes were now on the final spot on the Emperor’s Throne.

A young man covered with injuries was seen reaching the mountain peak with surges of razor-sharp sword qi emanating from his body. The last person to arrive was… Murong Xuan!

“This Emperor’s Throne is mine!”

Murong Xuan looked at the last Emperor’s Throne with utter determination.

In his mind, the figure of a woman appeared.

It was Yang Xiyun.

The both of them had met and became lovers after he came to the Emperor Road.

He promised her that he would go back and find her once he became an Emperor.

Whoosh!

Murong Xuan’s figure disappeared in a flash and arrived at the Emperor’s Throne.

The ninth golden pillar of light shot into the sky!

“Why is it him?!”

“D*mn it. He is Chu Kuangren’s people. Both Lan Yu and this Murong Xuan are Chu Kuangren’s people.”

“There’s also Leng Ningyu. F*ck. Chu Kuangren is dead, yet three people close to him have become Emperors!”

“What kind of joke is this? How can Murong Xuan become an Emperor?”

The remaining sky-prides were extremely dissatisfied as they looked at the nine golden pillars of light that rose into the sky.

Some of the outlawed sky-prides especially were enraged.

They had failed.

They had failed to obtain a spot on the Emperor’s Throne.

All the nine Emperor’s Throne were now fully occupied, and the nine golden pillars of light in the sky began to resonate with the Heavenly Dao of the world.

Under such a powerful resonation, the Heavenly Dao that was damaged due to some unknown reason started to return to its complete state.

Soon the Heavenly Dao was restored.

On one of the Emperor’s Throne.

Qin Tianchen was sitting with his legs crossed. As his understanding of Emperor’s Dao increased rapidly, the Foundation Levels inside him shattered and merged. During that process, the Emperor’s Throne was constantly transmitting energy into him.

That energy was transformed into Emperor qi, which gradually started to form his Emperor’s Core!

“It takes at least nine strands of Emperor qi to form the Emperor’s Core. The more Emperor qi I have, the higher the quality of Emperor’s Core I’ll obtain!”

“The quality of Emperor’s Core can be divided into five grades. They are Low-grade, Middle-grade, High-grade, Superb-grade, and Prominent-grade respectively! In my past life, I had only managed to build a Low-grade Emperor’s Core. However, in this second life, I have to build a Middle-grade Emperor’s Core at least!”

“My successes in Emperor’s Dao shall far exceed those from my previous life!”

Qin Tianchen thought.

As he began absorbing the energy emitted from the Emperor’s Throne, the amount of Emperor qi in his body continued to increase.

“Three, four, five, six…”

…

“Sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety…”

Inside the Slumbering Emperor Coffin.

Chu Kuangren was madly absorbing the Chaotic qi from his surroundings, turning it into the energy he needed to produce more Emperor qi.

The number of Emperor qi within him was also increasing rapidly.

Hence, he was on cloud nine during that whole process.

Other cultivators would require tremendous amounts of resources and effort just to produce a single Emperor qi. However, with the help of the endless Chaotic qi and the abilities from his Universal Cauldron Physique, the number of Emperor qi inside Chu Kuangren’s body was increasing at an unprecedented rate.

Beside him.

Even the Chaos Daoist Celestial was amazed by this. “How is this guy refining the Chaotic qi so quickly? What kind of physique does he have? It feels as powerful as my Chaos Physique too.”

“Then again, with so much Chaotic qi, can his body really handle the strain? I hope he doesn’t mess things up and explode accidentally.”

Meanwhile.

Qin Tianchen and the others were also forming their Emperor’s Core on the Emperor Mountain.

Among them, the most outstanding person was clearly Qin Tianchen. As a reincarnation of a Great Emperor, he was already familiar with this process.

On top of the experiences and resources he had gathered throughout his two lives, the number of Emperor qi he had increased at a very fast rate.

“Ninety-nine strands of Emperor qi!”

“Ninety-nine strands of Emperor qi is already the threshold for forming a Middle-grade Emperor’s Core. However, I think I can increase it even more!!”

“I might even have a chance to reach the High-grade Emperor’s Core!”

Qin Tianchen was ecstatic.

The Opportunities of Fortune he encountered in this second life of his cultivation were just too great.

Only a few Emperors had managed to form a High-grade Emperor’s Core. Within the same Emperor Realm, the advantages that those with a High-grade Emperor’s Core possessed were too great.

“The hundredth strand of Emperor qi, materialize now!”

Qin Tianchen let out a low cry as an unprecedented spark of determination lit up from his eyes. He was already looking forward to forming a High-grade Emperor’s Core.

…

“That’s one thousand strands of Emperor qi.”

“Even so, this guy doesn’t seem to be reaching his limit. Unless… It looks like he’s going to form a Superb-grade Emperor’s Core.”

Inside the Slumbering Emperor Coffin, the Chaos Daoist Physique looked at Chu Kuangren in shock.

The Superb-Grade Emperor’s Core was similar to an Epic-quality Emperor’s Dao as there were very few Emperors who possessed them. Each one of them was peerless and extraordinary in their own right.

For example, the Chaos Daoist Celestial himself possessed a Superb-grade Emperor’s Core.

“If this guy doesn’t die along the way, he’ll likely become a Daoist Celestial— No, he might even surpass me in the future!”

“Surpassing the Daoist Celestial’s level, becoming one who transcends the Heavenly Dao is… an Immortal!”

The Chaos Daoist Celestial’s eyes lit up with excitement.

Ever since the dawn of time, countless cultivators had been obsessively vying to become an Immortal, yet no one has ever gone close to reaching it.

However, he saw the possibility of that happening in Chu Kuangren.

“If the King of Humans was still alive, perhaps he would have become an Immortal by now,” the Chaos Daoist Celestial lamented.

After that, he looked at Chu Kuangren. The more he looked at the latter, the weird his expression became. “Speaking of which, although this little guy doesn’t look like the King of Humans, his unique temperament bears quite a resemblance to him.”

He shook his head and no longer thought about it.

“Perhaps I’ve been overthinking things a little.”

As time went by, there was no telling how much time had passed since Chu Kuangren started refining the Chaotic qi to produce more strands of Emperor qi.

Maybe a month, or even a year…

However, the amount of Emperor qi inside his body had reached a shocking number of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine strands. He had already reached the threshold of forming a Superb-grade Emperor’s Core.

“It’s about time he forms his Superb-grade Emperor’s Core.”

The Chaos Daoist Celestial mumbled.

However, to his surprise, he noticed that Chu Kuangren did not stop refining the Chaotic qi to form his Emperor’s Core. Instead, he continued refining the Chaotic qi at a crazy rate, producing more strands of Emperor qi!

“Is this guy attempting to reach the Prominent-grade Emperor’s Core?”

There was a strange look on his face.

The Prominent-grade Emperor’s Core was the strongest quality an Emperor’s Core could have. However, its existence had always been a theory for debate.

Throughout the ages, no one has ever succeeded in forming it.

Hence, the Chaos Daoist Celestial did not believe Chu Kuangren could succeed.

“Besides, to form such a powerful Emperor’s Core, a person must possess a body capable of sustaining tremendous amounts of pressure. I don’t think he’ll be able to withstand it.”

As time passed.

At the Emperor Mountain, millions of kilometers away.

The nine pillars of light in the sky continued to shock the firmament.

Almost a year has passed since Qin Tianchen and the others ascended onto the Emperors’ Thrones. Within that year, their bodies, their Dao, and their foundations had undergone tremendous changes, gradually approaching the Emperor Realm.

At that time, two figures suddenly stepped out from the golden pillars of light.

It was Bai Hongyu and Wang Quan.

A limitless surge of Emperor’s Aura emanated from them, causing the whole of Emperor Road to quake. They had become Emperors!

Both of them looked at each other, seeing the joy in each other’s eyes.

“I’ve finally become an Emperor after cultivating for so long.”

“Haha. From this day onwards, we shall be able to travel anywhere without restraints!”

The two of them looked at the other Emperor’s Throne behind them.

The others were still undergoing the process of becoming Emperor.

Their expressions changed slightly upon looking at Qin Tianchen. Gradually, their eyes turned grim.

“The number of Emperor qi inside him has surpassed nine hundred. He’s attempting to form a High-grade Emperor’s Core!!” Wang Quan uttered shockingly.

Since they had gone through the process of becoming an Emperor, they knew everything there was to know about the Emperor Realm. For instance, the different qualities of an Emperor’s Core.

Both of them had only managed to form a Low-grade Emperor’s Core.

However, Qin Tianchen was attempting to form a High-grade Emperor’s Core!
