Chaotic energy swirled, starlight flowed, and the divine halo of the Great Dao shone brilliantly, as if a god had descended to earth.
His eyes were deep, containing terrifying visions of creation and the birth of the universe, which were awe-inspiring. His physical body and primordial spirit were now no less than those of the Second Emperor, and in terms of the Great Dao, he had reached the Heavenly Emperor level as Uncle Yun had mentioned.
Endless runes intertwined and collided, unleashing divine power. The entire heavens and earth were under his control, and in just an instant, Ye Fan understood many things.
"Does the mere Golden Crow Emperor dare to try and stop the great tide of the world with his frail body? Where does that leave me and all the emperors? Where does that leave Uncle Yun?"
Outside, the earth-shattering upheaval caused by the Golden Crow Emperor's attainment of enlightenment continues to ferment throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The powerful beings throughout the universe were discussing this matter. They all thought that the first being to attain enlightenment would be Ye Fan, who was passed down from the Heavenly Emperor. No one expected that in the end, a golden crow would suddenly appear and transform into an unparalleled demon emperor.
"After the Golden Crow Emperor attained enlightenment, he did not communicate with the Heavenly Court. Instead, he expanded in all directions from the ancestral home of the clan, Fire Mulberry Star, and seemed to be very ambitious."
Opinions vary, with everyone holding their own views, and there is no definitive conclusion.
The atmosphere across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths grew increasingly tense. The Golden Crow Clan continued to annex all directions, expanding its influence and invading various star regions. However, whenever they encountered the territory of the Heavenly Court, they would deliberately avoid it and never confront this behemoth head-on.
The Heavenly Court did not comment on the matter, and all the Heavenly Court cultivators remained unchanged, as if they had not seen anything, which further fueled the arrogance of the Golden Crow Clan.
In the Heavenly Palace, two indistinct, towering figures sat cross-legged, facing each other, their bodies surrounded by chaotic energy, terrifying beyond measure.
"That old golden crow is constantly probing us. Should our Heavenly Court respond?"
"Wait until Ye Zi emerges from seclusion; the times have already changed. It's a pity that the old Golden Crow is still immersed in the days when the Great Emperor ruled the world. Going against the mighty trend will inevitably lead to a heavy price."
Ye Fan arrived in a lifeless star field, standing in mid-air, his body radiating a hazy immortal light, like a bright lighthouse, especially conspicuous in the darkness.
He will trigger the Great Emperor's Tribulation here, forcibly breaking the Golden Crow Emperor's suppression of the myriad paths of the Heavenly Heart Imprint, and removing the oppression of the Great Universe.
Heaven and earth seemed to respond, and a thick sea of thunder unknowingly spread across the sky.
Ye Fan spread his arms and looked up at the desolate starry sky.
"bring it on!"
"Boom!"
A vast and boundless heavenly thunder immediately appeared, and a powerful pressure spread throughout the entire universe—the ultimate of the ultimate, the emperor among emperors!
The Golden Crow Emperor's body trembled violently. He felt the Heavenly Heart Mark wailing, and he sensed another person's Dao rising into the sky, standing above all other Daos, and also above his own Imperial Dao.
"Ye Fan!" The Golden Crow Emperor instantly saw through the truth and roared.
Everyone is aware of what is happening right now, knowing that someone is challenging the ironclad laws of time and attempting to create the greatest miracle.
In the presence of the current emperor, he defies the heavens to attain enlightenment! And judging from the situation, there's actually a possibility of success?
"If you succeed and become a Great Emperor, then what am I?"
The Golden Crow Emperor's face darkened. If Ye Fan succeeded, wouldn't he, the current emperor, become a laughingstock?
Chapter 479 Ye Fan Steps Through Myriad Paths to Become an Emperor
The atmosphere in the universe became incredibly oppressive, almost suffocating. Even across endless distances, people could still sense it, as if a million mountains were pressing down on their hearts, making it impossible to breathe.
"What's going on? Is someone else about to attain enlightenment?" Someone looked over in horror, feeling a chilling aura that seemed to freeze their soul.
Many powerful figures were startled and rushed into the universe to investigate the situation using their respective methods.
However, only a few powerful beings who approach this star field can see the dense, terrifying thunderclouds.
"Someone is indeed undergoing the Great Emperor Tribulation; this aura definitely belongs to that realm."
"No, the Golden Crow Emperor's Dao Laws have not yet dissipated. No one can break through the suppression and defy the heavens to prove their Dao. It must be Emperor Ye who is making a move to fulfill his promise."
"boom!"
Without warning, a bolt of world-destroying lightning struck down from the void, heading straight for Ye Fan's head.
An aura of destruction permeated the air, engulfing everything, and countless stars were affected, forever turning into dust.
Ye Fan made no move; the immortal light surrounding his body alone blocked the lightning. It was as if the lightning had crashed into an iron wall, disintegrating itself first, with lightning crackling and bolts shooting out.
The next moment, an even greater calamity poured down like a torrential rain, chaos surged, and scenes of the creation of the universe emerged one after another.
Ye Fan stood calmly in the center of the sea of lightning. Divine light, lightning bolts, and laws all rushed towards him. The sea was vast and boundless, stars fell, and the Milky Way shattered.
His attempt to shatter the suppression of the Golden Crow Avenue was sensed by Heaven and Earth, naturally resulting in the most terrifying calamity.
On the Fire Mulberry Star, the Golden Crow Emperor's face was tense and ashen, his ten fingers clenched tightly together, his knuckles cracking.
He knew that after today, he would no longer be the only emperor of his time; the mark he left behind would be erased, and he might never be able to control the Heavenly Heart Mark again.
He was helpless and could only accept this fact, because he knew clearly how terrifying Ye Fan was; a single glance from him could bring the current emperor to his doom.
"How could such an existence appear in the world? It's one thing to have a Heavenly Emperor, but now there's also a Ye Heavenly Emperor. It's simply a matter of to hell with the Heavenly Emperor." The Golden Crow Emperor's eyes flickered, his expression constantly changing, and in the end, he only left behind a leisurely sigh.
Within the sea of lightning, Ye Fan was like an unparalleled god; wherever he was, there was a pure land, where endless lightning was blocked from entering.
In the void, myriad paths emerged, trembling violently and roaring incessantly. At the confluence of these myriad paths, a sacred mark appeared, cascading down countless laws of the Dao, like towering waterfalls reaching the heavens.
This is the mark of the Heavenly Heart; whoever masters it can dominate the universe.
Faintly visible, one could see a fiery red golden crow soaring above the myriad paths within the Heavenly Heart Imprint, releasing blazing flames.
When the Golden Crow Emperor saw this scene, his eyelids twitched. It was the Great Dao Imprint he had left behind, which had merged with the Heavenly Heart Imprint. One Dao suppressed all others, which was proof that he was the Great Emperor of this era. But now, all the glory would become the past.
Ye Fan began to take a step, his body enveloped in a faint immortal light, supremely powerful and holy, unbreakable by anything.
No matter what great calamity descended upon the sea of lightning, no matter how fiercely the myriad rules swept over him, he remained unshaken.
In the eyes of the powerful figures of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Ye Fan was too relaxed, completely at ease. From the beginning until now, he had not moved a single finger.
Ye Fan roared to the heavens, his own Dao piercing through all the myriad paths of heaven and earth, aiming to place himself above them all, with everything beneath his feet.
This naturally includes the mark of the Golden Crow Emperor.
At a certain moment, a terrifying aura appeared in the world, growing from faint to strong, and instantly spreading throughout the entire universe.
This aura surpasses all paths, surpasses even the Golden Crow Emperor!
Under this aura, the Golden Crow Emperor's ultimate mark reassembled, and the myriad paths of heaven and earth returned to their original state, with the Emperor's mark and the myriad paths of heaven and earth reuniting.
"Success?" The Golden Crow Emperor stared intently at Ye Fan, his face expressionless.
"Clap! Clap!"
Footsteps echoed through the universe, and a young man dressed in white, now clad in blood, emerged from the clouds of calamity, revealing himself to the world.
At the same time, the tribulation clouds behind him had completely dissipated. Ye Fan was still alive!
An overwhelming pressure erupted from Ye Fan's body, causing all paths to submit and the Golden Crow Mark to wail.
Ye Fan succeeded, breaking through all paths and surpassing all paths, surpassing even the current emperor!
He could be called the supreme ruler among emperors! Ye Fan calmly surveyed the entire universe, as if inspecting his own territory.
After exchanging a glance with the Golden Crow Emperor, the Golden Crow Emperor gave a forced smile, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist."
Ye Fan nodded, then looked away, focusing on the Supreme Being who had returned from the edge of the universe, intending to traverse all paths.
"If those who attain enlightenment become too complacent, the world will wither. From now on, there will be an opportunity to attain enlightenment once every hundred years. Whether one can attain enlightenment depends entirely on oneself. There are still eighty Heavenly Heart Marks left. Stepping on the myriad paths will become increasingly difficult. Without certainty, one will die and one's path will be extinguished."
Yunhua's Immortal King Dharma Form appeared in the universe, each strand of his hair like a universe. In his vast, universe-like palm were eighty-one Heavenly Heart Marks, the one that was the Immortal King Foundation was given to Ye Fan.
After saying this, Yunhua turned and left, returning to the Heavenly Realm. Only after Yunhua's figure disappeared did the Golden Crow Emperor relax.
"Alas... He spent his life in seclusion, plotting for millennia, but in the end, he didn't even get to be a great emperor for a hundred years."
"Heh, I, Jinwu, have become a complete joke. It would have been better if I hadn't attained enlightenment and had just turned into dust." He gave a bitter laugh, feeling extremely depressed.
This kind of emotion is really hard for others to understand, and only those who have truly experienced it can understand it.
Unlike the self-deprecating humor and frustration of the Golden Crow Emperor, a new wave of competition for the Emperor's Path has been launched across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Countless geniuses are vying to dominate the world and compete for this once-in-a-century opportunity to prove their Dao.
"Once every hundred years, once every ten thousand years, the first to attain enlightenment must be even more powerful, a true peerless genius who has fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood."
"Ah, even among the emperors of the era, there should be a distinction between strong and weak, and in history, the strong always come first."
In the Realm of the Void Gods, the emperors watched Ye Fan as he traversed the myriad paths to attain enlightenment. He was truly the first person after the Heavenly Emperor to achieve enlightenment by traversing the myriad paths.
"He met my expectations." Yunhua nodded in affirmation of Ye Fan's performance.
The emperors' thoughts were correct: Yunhua indeed valued Ye Fan highly. Among all the emperors of the Void God Realm, Yunhua had the highest expectations for Ye Fan.
Ruthless individuals are not included within the scope of the emperors of the Void God Realm!
Because Ye Fan has been smart since he was a child!
Of course, most importantly, Yunhua felt that Ye Fan was no less capable than Shi Hao.
If Shi Hao's previous speculations about himself were true, and the ultimate villain of this world was indeed the Occult Ancestor, then Ye Fan would at least be an Occult Ancestor-level being in the future.
Back then, Shi Hao guessed that the Strange Ancestor was at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, which meant that Ye Fan would at least reach the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm in the future. However, according to Yun Hua's speculation...
How could the protagonist of the world of "Covering the Sky" possibly end up on the same level as the main villain?
Chapter 480 Success and Failure
Therefore, Ye Fan has a high probability of surpassing the Immortal Emperor in the future.
This made Yunhua's anticipation rise sharply.
Yunhua didn't want Ye Fan to stand in front of him and shield him from anything.
To put it somewhat arrogantly, it would take Ye Fan many years to grow up. At that time, Yun Hua felt that he could never do too badly.
Yunhua simply didn't want a future being who might surpass the Immortal Emperor to wither away in the very beginning because of the world changes she had caused.
According to Yunhua's speculation, an existence surpassing even the Immortal Emperor would be considered extremely high-level within the boundless Chaos Sea and all the myriad realms.
It's such a shame that it's gone.
There is another very important reason, which stems from Yunhua's strange habit of collecting people during the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Covering the Sky stage.
Yunhua felt like she had developed some strange, peculiar habit...
If we really return to the Chaotic Ancient Era in the future, I'll cultivate my relationship with Shi Hao properly. If both of us surpass the Immortal Emperor by then...
When I wander around the boundless chaotic sea in the future, with Shi Hao on my left, Ye Fan on my right, Chu Luoli below, and the Immortal Emperor carrying my sedan chair, wouldn't that be wonderful?
Back then, Yunhua didn't even need to lift a finger. People would be terrified at the mere sight of him and flee in terror. No, wait, they would bow down and submit at the mere sight of him, completely convinced of his worth.
After all, we're not some kind of criminal gang.
There are people on the left and right, but what about above? Would he have any objections if Chu Luoli were left down there?
What a joke! Who dares to be above your Brother Yun? Your Brother Yun's word is law! Whatever Brother Yun says goes! Who dares to object? Who dares to say no? Are they out of their minds?
Many talented individuals yearn to seize the initiative and make a name for themselves in history, so they bravely embark on the path to power, fighting tooth and nail.
Ancient roads of various ethnic groups, nine imperial passes, and battlefields beyond the borders are all arenas where geniuses fight and blood and bones fly. A group of the strongest geniuses have been tempered and gradually emerged.
Amidst a constellation of brilliant stars, some prodigies who could originally see their limits have become limitless through their repeated breakthroughs and near-death experiences. They forge ahead on the path of evolution, leaving behind epic legends.
Thirty years later, a massive wave suddenly emanated from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, quickly spreading throughout the entire universe.
People are all too familiar with this kind of fluctuation; it means that someone is about to take the ultimate leap, to take the final step, and to attain enlightenment.
"Who is it? It's definitely not someone from the Golden Age generation. They're still far from it. The strongest among them has only just advanced to the Quasi-Emperor level."
"It must be the older generation of quasi-emperors. They have been preparing for a long time and are only waiting for the final leap."
Today, with the right timing, location, and people, it's the perfect opportunity to break through.
……
Thunder roared and all paths wailed. Someone was replicating the miracles of the ancient sages, trying to suppress all paths with his own way.
A cataclysmic calamity descended, sweeping across the land and leaving no chance for survival.
Ye Fan sat cross-legged in the Heavenly Court Hall, opened his golden eyes, and saw the figure who was fighting fiercely amidst the tribulation lightning, battling in all directions.
He was actually the Emperor, the master of the Divine Court, and Ye Fan had once pointed out his shortcomings.
After years of lying low, he finally made up his mind to take this step.
In fact, the Emperor had always been wary of Ye Fan and held a grudge against Ye Fan's words, believing that Ye Fan was not friendly to him.
Having observed for so long and seen that Ye Fan hardly cared about worldly affairs, he naturally couldn't hold back any longer and decided to come out to undergo tribulation and become an emperor.
As the tribulation intensified, the Emperor found it increasingly difficult to resist. For some reason, at this critical moment, the image of Ye Fan kept appearing in his mind, making him restless.
The great tribulation of attaining enlightenment is of paramount danger, often leading to annihilation. In this terrifying catastrophe, the Emperor's flaw was magnified infinitely, disrupting his rhythm, causing him to lose his footing, and his aura to become disordered.
