The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 165 Breaking the King's Throne and Becoming an Emperor!

Xu He went to the Boundary Sea.

In the blink of an eye, the Boundary Sea began to tremble, with endless seawater surging.

All anyone could see was a figure shrouded in a rosy glow, occasionally throwing punches at the unseen creatures deep within the Boundary Sea.

The endless Daoist symbols, representing auspicious omens, seem to be foreshadowing everything.

Finally, after Xu He unleashed countless punches, the radiant glow three inches above his head grew even brighter.

If Xu He's imperial light was just a wisp before, it has now transformed into a beam, which expands into a stream in an instant. Gradually, the imperial light continues to spread, enveloping his entire body.

Around them, some dark creatures that had not yet been executed could no longer withstand this ray of imperial light; their bodies were constantly changing, and finally they swelled up and exploded.

The dark and eerie flesh appeared for only a moment before being purified by the Emperor's Light.

As Xu He's imperial aura completely enveloped his body and radiated outwards.

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth roared, the Boundary Sea surged, the laws were constantly being rewritten, and endless order was being revealed.

This is not a test for those who have attained the Dao, like the Great Tribulation of the Immortal King. Rather, it is a manifestation of the myriad Great Daos and the order of the laws of heaven and earth. Everything must submit to Xu He, this new emperor!
Endless strange phenomena appeared, and the laws of heaven and earth transformed into the Ten Primordial Fiends, all paving the way for the new emperor who was about to attain enlightenment, trembling and prostrating themselves.

The heavens resounded, and at that moment, all living beings in the world felt the power that was spreading outwards.

Even the Celestial King trembled, wanting to kneel and kowtow.

This is the truest manifestation of strength, and cannot be resisted by personal will.

Even giants, even supreme giants, can't help but want to submit.

The imperial light gradually faded, merging with Xu He.

Gradually, the imperial light carrying endless pressure disappeared. When it burst forth again, some people were surprised to find that the imperial light was emanating from Xu He's body and originated from him!

They've become one.

A complete transformation!

At this moment, countless Immortal Kings within the Immortal Realm were in an uproar.

They stared in disbelief at Xu He high above.

He became emperor, he really became emperor.

An emperor who surpassed even the Immortal Kings truly appeared before their eyes!

"I... what era do I live in?!" the Immortal King within the Immortal Realm cried out.

“I… I have no right to witness this scene! I have no right to live in the same era as the Heavenly Emperor!” Some of the more emotional immortal kings had already lost their voices.

Everyone knows that future historians will likely record this period as the Heavenly Emperor's Era, and the Heavenly Emperor, who lives as long as the heavens, will ensure that this era continues forever!
At this moment, Ao Sheng was extremely fortunate that he had not truly offended Xu He to death.

I'm so glad I pulled back from the brink and ordered support for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

If one were to truly antagonize Xu He, the latter could destroy them with a single slap.

While the beings of the Immortal Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were astonished, some also looked at Qi Yu. Countless emotions flashed in their eyes, but in the end, they all converged into one sentence:
"As expected of Lord Qi Yu, his judgment of people is spot on."

"That's right, we have to thank Lord Qi Yu for facilitating the alliance between the two realms and the establishment of the Heavenly Court!"

"We should all thank Lord Qi Yu!"

At this moment, the overwhelming praise almost drowned out this oldest being in the immortal realm.

Even Qi Yu himself was somewhat embarrassed.

What does it mean that he has good taste?

When Qi Yu first met Xu He, he did indeed tell many people that Xu He had a chance to defeat Emperor Wang Cheng in the future.

But there's a chance, it probably won't happen that quickly!
In Qi Yu's original thought, Xu He might be extraordinary, but to truly achieve the goal of breaking through the King and becoming an Emperor, he would probably need several eras of accumulation.

It wasn't that he looked down on Xu He, but rather that he was simply that kind of person—a supreme giant who had accumulated power over several eras to become one.

Who could have imagined that, after thousands of years, he would be able to break through the ranks of kings and become an emperor?
It's appalling, at least unprecedented.

Xu He has become an emperor. Although he is a quasi-immortal emperor, the title "Shangdi" (God) signifies supreme authority.

He has now completely mastered this power.

The imperial light gradually receded back into its body, and after the imperial light disappeared, the oppressive aura that had made it hard to breathe also disappeared from the bodies of all living beings in the myriad realms.

But everyone's gaze toward Xu He was still filled with awe.

Because that is the majesty of an emperor, even without exerting pressure.

Looking at Xu He's imposing figure, Qi Yu from within the Immortal Realm spoke first.

"Meet the Emperor of Heaven!"

This sound shook all the heavens and myriad realms, and even the sea of ​​realms rippled.

Similarly, it resonated in the hearts of everyone.

"Meet the Emperor of Heaven!"

Numerous celestial kings from all the heavens and myriad realms bowed in worship.
People all over the world knelt and kowtowed, offering their most sincere thoughts and faith to it.

This is the Emperor.

Above all living beings, all who see him bow their heads!
Xu He stood atop the heavens, his face cold and stern, his long hair flowing freely. His imperial majesty made people dare not fathom his thoughts, and no one could glimpse the compassion for all living beings deep within Xu He's eyes.

"rise."

Xu He raised his hand, and all living beings in the heavens and myriad realms felt an indescribable power lifting them up.

The original kneeling posture has disappeared.

But what they gained was a pure and vigorous vitality.

The next moment, the crowd, realizing the extraordinary power, began to gasp in astonishment:

"My long-standing ailment is cured!"

"My eyes, my eyes that were taken from me by the creatures of darkness, have returned!"

"My Great Dao wounds have healed themselves. Thank you, Heavenly Emperor! Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!"

This pure power is far more than that; even the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Realm have sensed its profound mystery.

The injuries sustained by the Immortal Kings who had previously fought against the Fallen Immortal King in the Ancient Hall of Guidance were instantly healed by Xu He.

They weren't the only ones shocked; if we're talking about who benefited, Qi Yu was perhaps the most astonished.

Qi Yu was surprised to find that the pure vitality that Xu He gave him was not just for repairing his injuries; it also contained a wisp of imperial light that belonged only to Xu He!
Feeling the profoundness of this wisp of imperial light, Qi Yu was astonished to discover in a short while that his cultivation, which had not progressed for thousands of years, had actually begun to rise!
Even the slightest fluctuation indicates that one's bottleneck seems to be loosening!

At this moment, Qi Yu was overjoyed and even showed a rare moment of losing his composure.

He looked at Xu He, who stood atop the ninth heaven, and after a long, long time, he finally managed to speak:

"I will never forget the grace of the Heavenly Emperor. If the Heavenly Emperor ever needs my help, I will gladly die for him!"

Gazing at the Heavenly Emperor's imposing figure, Qi Yu was even more impressed.

The Heavenly Emperor was not only generous and selfless, but also extremely powerful.

Qi Yu believed that even if he fully comprehended this imperial light and became a cultivator at the same level as the Heavenly Emperor, he would still be no match for the Heavenly Emperor.

"That day will come, for all of you, it will come." Xu He calmly revealed a secret.

At this moment, the Celestial Kings, accustomed to the Heavenly Emperor's enigmatic nature, realized that in the future, there might truly be a day when they would accompany the Heavenly Emperor on his campaigns.

Everyone stared at Xu He, eager to know what this Heavenly Emperor was going to do next.

The Heavenly Emperor has never ceased his conquests.

As expected, the Heavenly Emperor made a move.

He left the border sea and came to the beach on the embankment at the edge of the border sea.

Just like in his previous life, Xu He strolled carefree, as if walking on an ordinary beach, feeling the ordinary sea breeze.

Then, a line of ordinary footprints was left behind. A line of shallow footprints appeared on the sand, clear and striking.

Everyone knows that Xu He's trip to the dam was perhaps to leave his mark.

Like everyone else, they all wanted to leave their mark on history.

And in this world, there is no more magnificent footprint than the one left on the dike.

Throughout the ages, there have only been two shallow lines of footprints.

One of them, even though he died and his name was never passed down, is still remembered by the world.

People still use his footsteps to name that era.

Xu He disappeared.

It can never be found again in this world.

Everyone knew that the Heavenly Emperor had gone on another campaign, heading towards the Boundary Sea.

The two rows of footprints that echoed and complemented each other seemed to be foreshadowing something.

"Within the Boundary Sea, is there anyone capable of killing an Emperor?"

Someone voiced their speculation.

They had all forgotten that the Emperor of the Fallen Era had also gone to the Boundary Sea and left his footprints, but he never returned!
That emperor died in battle, but the Heavenly Emperor took his place.

Could it be that there truly is someone within the Boundary Sea capable of killing an Emperor?
dark!

At this moment, all the Immortal Kings within the Immortal Realm considered this possibility.

Especially Qi Yu.

Suddenly, the image of the nineteen monsters that appeared in the Ancient Temple of Guidance flashed through his mind.

Even though Qi Yu was an unparalleled giant, he was still no match for him.

This means that the monster was very close to the Emperor.

And these monsters were actually just things that were summoned by humans.

Who exactly is controlling the Ancient Reception Hall?
An emperor who has fallen into darkness?

Will the Heavenly Emperor once again face the darkness alone on this journey?

Some people burst into tears, recalling the scene before them. Xu He hadn't stopped for a moment since he appeared.

To stop the invasion from other realms in the lower realms, to utterly destroy them, and to wash away the humiliation.

Upon arriving in the Immortal Realm, they quickly established a Heavenly Court, bringing together the Immortal Kings of both realms to form an alliance.

Then, the Heavenly Emperor did not stop for a moment and continued to the Boundary Sea!
For a century, the Boundary Sea has been at war, slaying countless dark creatures.

This is all to save the Immortal Realm from the slaughter of these dark creatures!
Afterwards, the Heavenly Emperor was besieged and fought alone against some of the most powerful immortal kings and fallen immortal kings in history.

No one dares to say they can win this battle.

But Xu He won, and after his birth, he rushed to the Immortal Realm without stopping for a moment.

Because the Ancient Hall of Guidance appeared in the sky above the Immortal Realm, and a Fallen Immortal King was slaughtering all living beings.

After slaying a group of fallen immortal kings and restoring the immortal realm, the Heavenly Emperor went to the Boundary Sea to fight his enemies.

They fought until the sky darkened, using killing to prove their Dao, and finally ascended to the ranks of emperors.

But what about after he became emperor?

He bestowed blessings upon all living beings, provided Qi Yu with a glimmer of opportunity to become a quasi-immortal emperor, and left a faint footprint in the Boundary Sea. What happened next?
They've completely penetrated the Boundary Sea!
One person goes alone to face that unknown creature capable of slaying an emperor!

Countless people wept bitterly, hoping that the Heavenly Emperor could return and rest.

For a long time, everyone only saw the glorious moment of the Heavenly Emperor, but how many people saw that the Heavenly Emperor's conquests never stopped and he never stopped moving forward.

If he stops, all living beings will suffer.

The Heavenly Emperor is exhausted, but who can understand his exhaustion and suffering? Who can he confide in?

"Heavenly Emperor! Come back and rest!" A Celestial King knelt on the ground, reaching out towards the Boundary Sea, hoping that the Heavenly Emperor would return.

"I was truly a scoundrel before. Why, why did I ever harbor murderous intent towards the Heavenly Emperor!" Ao Sheng spat out a mouthful of blood, his body swayed, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Heavenly Emperor, take a break. Think of yourself!"

At this moment, the cries and screams rose and fell, shaking the world, causing turmoil in the four seas and trembling across the five continents.

Xu He, far away in the depths of the border sea, finally stopped.

At this moment, his eyes rippled with emotion he hadn't felt in hundreds of thousands of years.

He looked up and gazed at the spot in front of him.

He stood there for a long time, listening to the cries of the people.

But I still stepped forward.

His conquests continue.

When everyone looked again at the footprints Xu He left on the dam, all other emotions vanished, for those footprints were perhaps one of the few things the Heavenly Emperor found interesting...

Qi Yu lowered her eyes, trying her best not to let the tears in her eyes spill out.

The Heavenly Emperor desperately needed someone to help him, but the problem was that the Heavenly Emperor had left him with a sliver of opportunity to break through the king and become an emperor, yet he lacked the Heavenly Emperor's abilities.

Even if one were fortunate enough to break through the king's rule and become an emperor, it would inevitably be several eras later.

Several eras later?

Where is the Heavenly Emperor?

Will they win or lose? Will they live or die?
As Qi Yu held that wisp of imperial light, his hand grew increasingly hot, and his heart grew heavier.

Finally, he looked upon all living beings in the myriad realms and raised his arms, shouting:
"Why are you crying!"

Qi Yu knew that with the Heavenly Emperor leading the campaigns, someone had to be there to handle everything from behind the scenes!
He raised his arms and shouted again:
"If you don't know about life, how can you know about death?"

"The Heavenly Emperor has never been defeated, so why are you crying!"

"The Heavenly Emperor's invincibility is still being written, and it is impossible and will never be interrupted!"

"The Heavenly Emperor will always be the one who brings the dawn, just as he has brought us the dawn many times!"

Qi Yu raised his arms and shouted several times, greatly inspiring the people.

At this moment, people from all over the world responded.

"Yes! The myth of the Heavenly Emperor is still being written!" a Celestial King exclaimed excitedly.

"The Heavenly Emperor is still the same Heavenly Emperor, and that will never change!"

"Who can stop the flowing water, which never ends! Even the Heavenly Emperor is waging war, how can we slacken our efforts!"

One voice after another rang out.

Qi Yu also showed a relieved smile at this moment.

He could do nothing else, nor could he stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Emperor to alleviate his pressure.

But now, having secured his rear, Qi Yu has done his best.

The Immortal King Wuzhong looked at the Boundary Sea, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

He was the first person in the world to discover Xu He, but at the time, he only regarded him as a stranger.

I just feel that Xu He might be the only one to change things.

But who could have imagined that in just a thousand years, this change would affect everyone?

"If there is an afterlife, I truly wish to fight alongside you," the Immortal King Wuzhong said slowly.
