Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 79 Xia Shaoyang's Responsibility
After parting ways with Luo Shuihan, Di Yi found Zi Yuan and her group. Several days earlier, they had joined many students from the Martial City Academy in breaking through the Evil Gold Palace and seizing a large amount of golden divine mushrooms, weighing over 500 jin.

Emperor Yi was undoubtedly the biggest winner of this trip to the Five Elements Ruins. He not only obtained thousands of kilograms of Five Elements spiritual treasures, but also acquired the earth and wood elemental primordial energy within the Five Elements Ruins, allowing the Divine Lotus to bloom.

His spiritual power had reached the peak of the forty-second level, and his martial arts cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm.

The next step is to attempt to break through to the Supreme Realm of the Heavenly Realm.

The Supreme Realm of the Heavenly Realm is the most difficult to reach among the four realms of martial arts. Thirty million military merits is an astronomical figure for a martial artist in the Heavenly Realm.

In the past month or so, Di Yi has almost wiped out all the top experts in the Five Elements Ruins Realm, but the military merits he has accumulated are less than 300,000 points.

In the last hundred years, only one person in the entire Kunlun Realm has reached the supreme realm of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, namely Wan Zhaoyi, the Little Saint Heavenly King, who is a favorite of the Empress and a rising star in the Ministry of War.

The five individuals mentioned in the Ode to Heroes—East Wutian, West Wufa, South Xinshu, North Yutian, and Wan Zhaoyi from the Nine Provinces of the Central Region—represent the Kunlun Realm's past century. Each of them has reached the supreme realm in the four realms of martial arts more than once, earning the title of revered among their peers. To this day, even the older generation of saints are no match for them.

Even among them, who were as amazing as they were, only Wan Zhaoyi accumulated enough military merits to reach the supreme realm of the Heavenly Realm.

Therefore, Wan Zhaoyi became the first person to be named in the Hero Ode, overshadowing the other four.

Emperor Yi naturally did not want to miss the supreme realm of the Heavenly Realm. Only when all four realms of martial arts reached the supreme realm would he have the opportunity to refine ten drops of divine blood in the Fish-Dragon Realm, break through to the supreme realm of the Fish-Dragon Realm, and condense a divine destiny.

After returning from the Five Elements Ruins to the Chaos Myriad Realms Mountain aboard the Ministry of War's warship, Emperor Yi met up with the Azure-Clad Star Envoy and the Purple-Wind Star Envoy and temporarily stayed at the Myriad Realms Tavern, instead of returning directly to the Kunlun Realm.

The nearly two-hundred-foot-tall Heavenly Ranking radiated a white holy light and was covered with countless names.

Only those with 10,000 military merit points can be listed on the Heavenly Ranking. Di Yi currently has 287,000 military merit points, and has broken into the top 10,000 on the Heavenly Ranking.

Of the six new generation kings of the Eastern Region, only Zhang Ruochen, besides him, has made it onto the Heavenly Ranking.

Huang Shenyi still ranks first on the Heavenly Ranking, and his military merit points have exceeded ten million.

During this time, he fought in the Xuanwu Ruins Realm, accumulating a massive amount of military merit points in preparation for breaking through to the Supreme Realm.

Huang Shenyi has a high level of talent. Although he is not a Saint Body, even Saint Bodies of the same realm are no match for him. If he continues to fight in the Void Realm battlefield, he will indeed have a good chance of breaking through to the Supreme Realm of the Heavenly Realm. If it weren't for Di Yi, he would most likely become the young master of the Black Market First-Class Hall in this generation.

"Young Master, what are our plans next?" asked the Purple Wind Star Envoy.

"My cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm. Next, I will enter the Void Realm battlefield to accumulate military merits and break through to the Supreme Realm of the Heavenly Realm. However, before that, I need to go back to the First-Class Hall to prepare some things."

The massive amount of military merit points required to break through to the Heavenly Realm and the Supreme Realm is not something that a weak, lower-level Void Realm like the Five Elements Void Realm can provide. Even if you wiped out the entire Five Elements Void Realm, you probably wouldn't be able to gather five million merit points.

The slaughter of an entire Void Realm would certainly not be permitted by the Ministry of War of the Imperial Court.

The battlefields of the Void Realm warriors are on the most dangerous front lines, not against the weak who have no power to resist. Those weak Void Realms have actually become the territories of the First Central Empire, part of the imperial court's domain, and are instead protected by the imperial court.

If Di Yi wants to break through to the Supreme Realm of the Heavenly Realm, he can only go to the larger and more dangerous Middle Ruins Realm.

The Xuanwu Ruins that Huang Shenyi went to was a mid-level Ruins, and it was the top-tier among mid-level Ruins. It had natives at the Saint Realm who had fought against the army of the Imperial Court's Ministry of War for over a hundred years.

In such places, those at the Fish-Dragon Realm and Half-Saints are the main force, while martial arts legends at the Heavenly Extreme Realm are merely cannon fodder.

To do a good job, one must first have the right tools. Before entering the battlefield of the intermediate Void Realm, Di Yi needs to return to Yipin Hall to prepare enough means of survival.

Upon hearing this, Zi Fengxing Shi felt somewhat regretful, but didn't say much. He was eager to deal with the traitor Yin Yue Lin Kong, but Di Yi's breakthrough to the Heavenly Extreme Realm Supreme Realm was a major event concerning the entire Black Market First-Class Hall. Compared to that, Yin Yue Lin Kong was insignificant.

Now that we've discovered Silver Moon's whereabouts, we can deal with her anytime we want, so there's no need to rush.

……

Emperor Yi, along with the Purple Wind Star Envoy, the Green Robe Star Envoy, and others, headed back towards the Black Market First-Class Hall.

In the Eastern Holy City, however, others had their eyes on Silver Moon in the Sky.

Mercenaries are very common in the Kunlun Realm. There are many ancient and powerful mercenary groups in the Holy City of the Eastern Region, and some of these groups even have saints in charge.

The Silver Sky Mercenary Group is located in the 31st district of the Golden Rainbow Continent. Compared with those ancient mercenary groups, the Silver Sky Mercenary Group has only been established for twenty or thirty years, making it quite young.

Although it has not been established for long, the Silver Sky Mercenary Group is quite famous. Unlike other mercenary groups, the Silver Sky Mercenary Group only recruits young geniuses. The group leader, Silver Moon Sky, and the deputy group leader, Nie Honglou, are both top experts in the Fish-Dragon Realm.

Especially with Silver Moon in the Sky, his cultivation had reached the ninth transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm, making him exceptionally powerful and virtually invincible below the level of a half-saint.

But few people know that Yin Yue Lin Kong was once the Silver Sky Star Envoy of the First-Class Hall of the Eastern Black Market. He was a traitor to the First-Class Hall and a disgrace to it.

On the edge of the 31st district, several powerful figures guarded the black-robed figure in the center.

The man in black robes was Xia Shaoyang.

After being defeated by Zhang Ruochen on the Tongming River, Xia Shaoyang's Dao heart was severely damaged, and he almost never recovered.

However, the sage of the Xia family personally awakened him and sent him into the Death Ruins to undergo a life-and-death trial.

Xia Shaoyang has now been reborn from the ashes, with his cultivation and will greatly improved, and his experience is similar to that of Bu Qianfan, one of the new generation of kings.

Behind Xia Shaoyang were two figures with unfathomable auras, both of whom were masters of the ninth transformation of the Fish-Dragon Formation.

Besides these two, the Azure Star Envoy and the Green-Robed Star Envoy from the Seven Fiend Star Envoys were also among them.

Xia Shaoyang originally disliked wearing black robes, but after losing to Di Yi, he followed Di Yi's example and put on a black robe to remind himself.

Looking at the Silver Sky Tower, the headquarters of the Silver Sky Mercenary Group, in the distance, Xia Shaoyang said quietly, "As the young master of the First-Class Hall, Di Yi knows that the traitor Yin Yue Lin Kong is in the Eastern Region Holy City, but he doesn't dare to deal with her. Since he is afraid of Yin Yue Lin Kong, then I will take care of it and bring this black market traitor back to the Universe Heaven."

The Azure Star Envoy was already quite close to Xia Shaoyang, and this time he came specifically to help him.

"I heard that the young master went to the Void Realm for training and has now entered the top 10,000 of the Heavenly Ranking. It seems that he, like Huang Shenxing Envoy, wants to break through to the Supreme Realm of the Heavenly Extreme Realm."

The Supreme Realm of the Heavenly Realm is extremely difficult to reach, and Xia Shaoyang did not think Huang Shenyi had a high chance of succeeding. On the contrary, Di Yi's probability of reaching the Supreme Realm should be quite high.

"The ultimate realm of the Heavenly Realm. After I slay Silver Moon in the Sky, I will go to the Ruins Realm to continue my training."

Having failed to seize the Buddha Emperor's relic and reach the supreme realm of the Earthly Realm, Xia Shaoyang secretly resolved to reach the supreme realm of the Heavenly Realm, otherwise the gap between him and Di Yi and Zhang Ruochen would only widen.

"However, the most important thing now is to rekindle the confidence of the saints in the black market in me. Only by killing Silver Moon Sky can I erase the stain of my defeat to Zhang Ruochen. Otherwise, without the support of the saints in the black market, how can I contend with Emperor Yi?"
