The Heaven-shattering: Starting from the Ancient Times

Chapter 536 Emperor Becomes Emperor
After confirmation, everyone knew that someone in the River of Souls was indeed attempting to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

Who exactly is this person?

Could it be the Emperor?

If it's an Emperor, then it's indeed possible.

There are three transformations from Quasi-Immortal Emperor to Immortal Emperor.

Only after undergoing three extreme transformations can one be qualified to challenge for the Emperor Realm.

When darkness invaded the heavens, the Emperor had already completed two transformations.

Ye Fan and the others have now completed their first transformation.

So it's normal that the Emperor completed his third transformation over such a long period of time.

After completing his third transformation, he has already qualified to challenge for the title of Immortal Emperor.

Of course, one is qualified, but whether or not one succeeds depends on the individual.

Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun both sensed something was amiss.

That is, feeling your mind and spirit shake, and your cultivation level starting to improve.

This feeling is very special and incredible.

However, Lingbao Tianzun and the other two were already used to it.

Because Lingbao Tianzun and the other believed that the Emperor might have a special connection with them.

Therefore, it can now be confirmed that the person who is breaking through is the Emperor.

Everyone present realized this, and their previously calm hearts calmed down again.

If it is an Emperor Venerable attempting to become an Immortal Emperor, then there is nothing to fear.

If the Emperor Venerable successfully breaks through to the Emperor Realm, it will appear on the surface that the Soul River will have one more Immortal Emperor.

In reality, it is an additional celestial emperor among all the heavens.

But what about the Emperor? Should he continue to infiltrate the undercover mission, or should he return to the River of Souls?

No one knew the Emperor's specific plans.

At this moment, the energy emanating from the depths of the Soul River fluctuated erratically.

Clearly, the Emperor's path to becoming an emperor was extremely difficult.

"Stop talking nonsense, you're just at the end of your rope."

Ye Fan sneered.

The four outposts at present are just paper tigers, and there are actually quite a few quasi-immortal emperors remaining.

However, they are still not qualified to contend with the heavens at this time.

At this time, the heavens had reached their most prosperous period in countless eras.

The day will bring an end to the darkness and turmoil.

An unprecedented war has broken out.

This is inevitable.

Having come this far, how could they possibly back down?

Compared to the desire of the heavens to wage war, the River of Souls is actually quite unwilling to go to war.
Because that person is currently still in the process of becoming an emperor, if they disturb him, then they will be sinners against their clan.

"You are far too arrogant. You may be disrespectful to me, but you must know that the River of Souls is immortal, truly overlooking all ages and witnessing the rise and fall of eras!"

Even at this point, this strange quasi-immortal emperor remained incredibly arrogant.

"Is the Soul River very strong? At worst, we can just sink it."

Ye Fan remained silent. His face was icy cold, filled with murderous intent.

He unleashed boundless power, and the cauldron of primordial energy beneath his feet erupted, blasting towards the target.

boom!
The sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and countless wails of agony echoed in the River of Souls.

Time itself is in disarray; it seems as if the past and present are about to be reversed.

The others also made their moves in an instant, unleashing an extremely terrifying force.

The fluctuations in the Great Dao are causing the Soul River to nearly collapse.

Just then, a terrifying fluctuation came from the depths of the River of Souls, and a strange and ominous substance surged in like a tide.

The Quasi-Immortal Emperors of the heavens were incredibly powerful, and the Quasi-Immortal Emperors of the Soul River were no match for them. They quickly suffered a series of defeats!

At that moment, a terrifying aura erupted from the depths of the Soul River.

This is the aura of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Deep within the River of Souls, someone has broken through the ranks of kings and become an emperor.

This means that the Soul River will have another strange Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

However, Ye Fan and the others did not care, after all, he was just a quasi-Immortal Emperor and could not disrupt the overall situation.

Unless a true Celestial Emperor intervenes, the Soul River will be pacified today.

A tall, imposing man with a heroic appearance emerged from the depths of the River of Souls.

He exuded the aura of a quasi-Immortal Emperor, clearly indicating that he was the one who had just broken through the King and become an Emperor.

At this moment, Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun showed surprise in their eyes.

They recognized the man as the God Emperor.

However, they did not express any intention to acknowledge each other.

Because Lingbao Tianzun and the other two sensed that something was amiss.

The Divine Emperor strode forward and joined the battle.

The strange Quasi-Immortal Emperors all had joy on their faces.

The addition of a quasi-Immortal Emperor to the battle can also alleviate their pressure.

Just then, a strange Quasi-Immortal Emperor suddenly roared.

The sound resounded throughout the River of Souls, making people feel the pain within.

It must be understood that for a quasi-Immortal Emperor to utter such a painful sound, he must have suffered an indescribable and severe injury.

Everyone looked toward the source of the sound.

Their faces were filled with disbelief.

As for Lingbao Tianzun and the other two, they remained calm, revealing an expression of "I knew it."

Just as they had predicted, the God Emperor was indeed an undercover agent.

"Damn it, let's fight! Since you're already planning to pacify the River of Souls, I'm not going to be an undercover agent anymore!" the God Emperor roared!

The God-Emperor was holding a severed head in his hand.

It came from that strange Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

However, this strange Quasi-Immortal Emperor soon revived.

For someone at their level, killing them instantly is extremely difficult.

For beings of the same level, the only way to deal with a Quasi-Immortal Emperor is to obliterate them over the course of time.

Undercover?

All the Quasi-Immortal Emperors in the entire Soul River were greatly shocked.

This person was actually an undercover agent! You must know that this person was one of the Heavenly Demon's subordinates!

How exactly does the Heavenly Demon operate? He even has a spy among his subordinates.

However, everyone only dared to complain in their hearts.

They dared not utter any insults, after all, the Heavenly Demon was currently on the path to becoming an Emperor.

After all, the identity of the Heavenly Demon had already been identified, and the High Priest believed that the Heavenly Demon was not an undercover agent.

Especially now, the Heavenly Demon is becoming an emperor.

If the Heavenly Demon succeeds, he will become the new High Priest!
It can be said that their safety rests entirely on the shoulders of the Heavenly Demon.

Even Ye Fan and the others didn't expect that the God Emperor was actually an undercover agent.

After all, there are very few records about this god-emperor in the human universe.

After this divine emperor became an immortal in the mortal world, he disappeared without a trace.

Later, the fat man even said in person that the God Emperor had once chased him down in the Boundary Sea.

Furthermore, the God Emperor has clearly sided with the Soul River.

However, they have always suspected that the God Emperor might be an undercover agent.

The current actions of the Divine Emperor also indicate that he is an undercover agent.

The battle between quasi-immortal emperors continued even after this incident.

The battle has fully erupted, and it's a fight to the death.

As long as one side is alive, the other side will not give up.

Deep within the River of Souls.

In a palace.

The Emperor sat cross-legged in this place.

There was an extremely strange thing in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, this thing is red.

It looked like a twisted, intertwined mass of tentacles, but actually resembled individual red hairs.

This thing exudes a strange and ominous power.

However, the Emperor Venerable is not paying attention to this thing at the moment. He is trying to break through to the Emperor Realm and become an Emperor!

He underwent several transformations in the past, almost reaching the realm of Immortal Emperor, but ultimately stopped.

Because he knew that in that state, although he could touch the threshold of the Immortal Emperor realm, and even step into it, he would ultimately not be able to truly establish himself in that realm.

Therefore, at the final moment, the Emperor withdrew from that realm again.

At the time, he thought that if he forced his way through, he would most likely die.

After all, he still lacks experience and depth; he hasn't reached the point where things have naturally fallen into place.
From the time he was a Celestial King until now, the Emperor has been creating laws and expanding his own system.

The Emperor's entire body glowed, and his aura of the Great Dao surged.

At this moment, the Emperor transformed into a large cocoon.

This is a great cocoon formed by the laws of the Great Dao. Inside it is a person who is comprehending the Great Dao and performing unparalleled magic.

Boom!

Just then, the cocoon suddenly burst open, and the aura of an Immortal Emperor spread out.

The Emperor has officially entered this realm.

Only when he truly became an emperor did the Emperor Venerable truly feel the vastness of this realm.

Emperor Cheng was merely the starting point, not the true end.

The Great Dao has no limits. In the eyes of ordinary beings, becoming an Immortal Emperor and stepping into the realm at the end of the path means standing at the pinnacle of the Great Dao.

However, there are still realms above the Immortal Emperor, which is not the true end of the Great Dao.

After becoming an Immortal Emperor, the Emperor tore through space and time.

As a Celestial Emperor, the Emperor's strength is unfathomable, and he has the ability to travel between different dimensions.

At this moment, the Emperor went against the current, heading towards antiquity.

Soon, he was alone, watching the rise and fall of countless ages, witnessing the decline and rise of the heavens.

At this moment, the Emperor couldn't help but feel a complex mix of emotions.

He returned to his weakest moment.

At that time, his parents died at the hands of the Kunlun Immortal Clan.

Later, he rose to prominence on his own and became the most dazzling new star.

Having obtained the legacy left by the Celestial Venerable of Tribulation Crossing, he received considerable assistance on his path to rise.

Later, he was chased by the Kunlun Immortal Clan to the ends of the earth, but he survived by sheer luck.

Later, he reached the point of enlightenment and became a celestial being in the mythological era.

Later, he underwent a reversal of his fate and transformed into a celestial being, who then founded the Heavenly Court in mythology and was revered as an emperor.

Heaven, earth, man, gods, and ghosts all worship the Emperor.

He is hailed by the world as the most revered person throughout history.

He befriended the reincarnation of the Heavenly Venerable of Tribulation Crossing, the Netherworld Venerable, and the two had a relationship like that of master and disciple.

They pacified the Kunlun Forbidden Zone and avenged their great grudge.

Everything from the past flashed before the Emperor's eyes like a fleeting glimpse, leaving him with extremely complex emotions.

His arduous journey has finally brought him to where he is today.

No one knows what he sacrificed.

"Ugh."

Thinking of this, the Emperor couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Finally, he saw the eerie black blood that had broken through time and space from the mythical era.

And they learned the origin of the black blood.

"I see."

The Emperor couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, thinking of the faint blue light that appeared and disappeared in his mind.

This mysterious force continues to protect itself to this day.

It protects one's purest primordial spirit.

After returning from the long river of time, the Emperor took a liking to the so-called primordial matter before him.

This is the primordial substance bestowed upon us by a strange race.

Although the Mysterious Immortal Emperor could not personally descend due to the presence of the Primordial Immortal Emperor and others.

However, the Calamity Land connects to all the heavens and myriad realms like a rat hole.

Therefore, after learning that he was going to break through to the Emperor Realm, the Plateau specially bestowed this primordial substance upon him.

Only by consuming this primordial substance can one become a true, mysterious immortal emperor.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to enter the plateau.

"Do you want it?"

After a moment's thought, the Emperor still chose to use this primordial substance.

After using this primordial substance, the Emperor did not feel anything amiss.

I gradually felt my scalp tingling, as if it was about to explode.

Even the primordial spirit was about to be torn apart, as if it were about to be split in two.

At that moment, the azure light that had been lingering in his mind began to contend with this primordial matter.

Ultimately, a special balance was reached between the two, and they coexisted peacefully.

The Emperor's true spirit remained under the protection of this azure light.

"What is the origin of this blue light?"

The Emperor muttered to himself, feeling puzzled.

However, after failing to come up with a solution, the Emperor had no choice but to give up thinking about it.

At that moment, the Emperor couldn't help but touch the power of the primordial matter.

He felt an ominous and eerie force enveloping him.
Then suddenly, thick red hair grew on its body, and even the whites of its eyes turned out like those of a dead fish.

At this moment, an ominous aura permeated the area around the body, emanating the most intense and eerie atmosphere, which was extremely terrifying.

"In this situation, even if I said I was an undercover agent, I'm afraid no one would believe me."

The Emperor shook his head; this was because it had triggered a transformation in the primordial matter.

However, it quickly returned to normal and looked normal again.

"It's time to go out."

As the words fell, the Emperor took a step forward, reigning supreme over the River of Souls.

The people who were fighting were stunned.

Ye Fan and the others, in particular, looked at the Emperor's current state with disbelief.

Why is the Emperor covered in red hair?

Could it be that he was infected with some ominous sign during his breakthrough to Immortal Emperor, and completely fell into darkness?

"You dare to conquer the River of Souls? You have some nerve!"

The cold words spoken by the Emperor made everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

Even Lingbao Tianzun and the other two didn't know what was going on.

What's going on with the current Emperor?

Could it be that during the process of becoming emperor, he truly fell into darkness and completely transformed into a different person?
After all, this is the symptom of a fallen, dark arrogance, as if one has become a completely different person.

At this moment, it wasn't just Lingbao Tianzun and his companion who felt this way.

Even Ye Fan and the others thought so.

The Emperor is truly different at this moment.

Especially its red fur, which exudes a terrifying and eerie aura, gives the impression of being the source of darkness.

"Greetings, Lord Heavenly Demon!"

The creatures of the Soul River were overjoyed and bowed respectfully.

The Heavenly Demon has become the Celestial Emperor.

Especially this red-haired pose, which is an ominous symbol for the chief priest.

This proves that the Heavenly Demon has truly become the Celestial Emperor.

"you!"

Looking at the Emperor's expression, Ye Fan felt at a loss for words.

"Darkness is the final resting place of all souls!"

The Emperor sneered, "Starting today, I will use you as my first targets, and then rebuild the glory of my race."

“Once you are dealt with, it will be time for the great sacrifice.”

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

They did not know the Emperor's specific situation.

After all, the Emperor's current appearance truly resembles that of someone corrupted by something eerie, completely plunging into darkness.

Even Lingbao Tianzun and his companion were completely baffled.

If the Emperor hasn't been corrupted by darkness, then what is he planning right now?
After all, the current Emperor is simply too powerful; he alone is enough to destroy all the heavens and myriad realms.

"Your grandfather has returned, treading on the bones of an emperor; today he will kill you!"

A voice rang out from beyond the heavens.

The sound startled everyone.

"It's him!"
