I'm the emperor from the start, and you want me to keep the three-year agreement?

Rumble!

Rumble!

The peaceful sky suddenly roared with thunder, and instantly, the world turned dark as thick layers of dark clouds blocked all light.

In the Xuanming Sect, many cultivators felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. They struggled to raise their heads and looked up at the sky.

"This is... an Emperor Tribulation?"

A cultivator exclaimed in astonishment, "Someone in the Xuanming Sect has become an Emperor?"

"My heavens! Which big shot is becoming an Emperor? I want to latch onto them!"

"Among the younger generation, the most promising and fastest to become an Emperor is Senior Sister Chu Qingge."

"What? She only entered our sect three years ago. In just three years, her cultivation has spanned such a great distance?"

"Alas, indeed, true disciples cannot be compared to each other. True Disciple Xu has cultivated for so many years and has not yet touched the Emperor Realm. It seems he was right to leave the sect."

"Staying in our Xuanming Sect would have been too much pressure."

Within the Xuanming Sect, the younger generation whispered among themselves.

They clearly felt the terror of this Emperor Tribulation, which made it difficult for them to breathe.

The elders of the Xuanming Sect were also shocked when they felt the intensity of this Emperor Tribulation.

"Why is Qingge's Emperor Tribulation so terrifying?"

"Even when we broke through to become Immortal Emperors, the Emperor Tribulation we experienced was never so terrifying!"

An elder said in a deep voice, "According to rumors, the more of a threat a cultivator poses to the Heavenly Dao, the more terrifying the Heavenly Tribulation they bring upon themselves during their breakthrough."

"Qingge's talent is beyond doubt. If she is given a little more time, she may surpass us."

"Moreover..."

The elder suddenly stopped, his expression grave, and said, "To put it bluntly, the cultivation technique Qingge practices is inherently hated by the Heavenly Dao."

"Perhaps this is the punishment of the Heavenly Dao, to prevent her from becoming an Emperor."

Beside him, the other elders said one after another:

"What's wrong with that? Being able to cultivate is a good thing! Who cares what kind of technique she practices?"

"Besides, didn't we also cultivate the same origin technique? If it weren't for Qingge, if it weren't for the Sect Leader's intervention, how could we have had the opportunity to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm?"

Indeed, three of the elders present had already broken through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

One could imagine how terrifying the number of cultivators they had devoured was!

Clang!

Chu Qingge, located in the center of the Heavenly Tribulation, suddenly soared into the sky.

She had returned to her previous aloof fairy appearance, wearing a plain dress and looking coldly at the Heavenly Tribulation above.

"It really is Senior Sister Chu! This is her Emperor Tribulation!"

"How cool! Senior Sister Chu hasn't fully become an Emperor yet, but the aura on her body has already undergone a transformation! If she survives the Heavenly Tribulation, wouldn't she be a true fairy?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Chu Qingge.

The latter formed hand seals, resisting the Heavenly Tribulation head-on.

"How can a mere Heavenly Tribulation stop me from becoming an Emperor?" Chu Qingge snorted coldly.

However, this Heavenly Punishment was not of the same intensity as an ordinary Emperor's breakthrough.

It carried the might of world destruction. The Heavenly Dao would not allow anyone under its jurisdiction to become an Emperor through such an evil method!

This had already greatly affected the balance of good and evil!

"Pfft!"

Her cultivation technique was forced back, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth. Chu Qingge wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and then took out pills from her sleeve.

The pills entered her mouth and were quickly absorbed by her body. Chu Qingge regained her strength.

She increased her efforts, wanting to quickly defeat the lightning above.

"It looks like Qingge's condition is not good."

In the shadows, Sect Leader Shen Xiaoji looked solemn. As an Immortal Emperor at the peak, he understood the gap between Chu Qingge and this Heavenly Tribulation very well.

Watching Chu Qingge constantly fall from the void and then rise again, Shen Xiaoji was somewhat worried.

After some mental struggle, Shen Xiaoji took out a bottle of spirit energy-rich pills.

"Qingge, catch!" Shen Xiaoji threw the object through the air.

In the distance, Chu Qingge caught the pills, saluted with one hand, and swallowed all the pills into her stomach.

These pills instantly burst open in her body, nourishing her internal organs.

Energy quickly filled her up, eventually overflowing, and a massive amount of spiritual energy gathered on the outside to form a spiritual energy wall!

This wall blocked the Heavenly Tribulation, reducing the damage caused by the Heavenly Tribulation.

After a while, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation gradually decreased.

An hour passed, the Heavenly Tribulation dissipated, and Chu Qingge successfully became an Emperor.

Instantly, the Xuanming Sect cheered.

"She succeeded."

A rare hint of joy appeared on the Iceberg Beauty's face. That smile made the hearts of many cultivators flutter.

Chu Qingge smiled and felt the changes in the power within her body.

"Three years have passed, and I have finally become an Emperor!"

Chu Qingge raised her proud head and said to herself, "Lin Ning, it's been three years. Now I am already an Emperor. The decision I made back then was absolutely correct!"

"I really look forward to that day of the three-year agreement. What will you think when you see me become an Emperor?"

"The former you made it difficult for me to look up to, but the current you is not even worthy of carrying my shoes!"

Boom!

Less than five minutes after the Heavenly Tribulation disappeared, thunder descended from the sky again.

Chu Qingge's expression changed drastically. She felt that the current Heavenly Tribulation was several times stronger than the previous one!

"A tribulation within a tribulation?" Everyone looked at each other in astonishment.

Chu Qingge's face was ashen. "Why? Am I not just becoming an Emperor?"

"Why doesn't the Heavenly Dao want me to become an Emperor?"

"Does it have to go against me?"

She clenched her fists, wanting to fight back.

The next moment, a pair of warm hands stopped Chu Qingge.

Shen Xiaoji said gently, "No, this is my Emperor Venerable Tribulation!"

It turned out that at the moment Chu Qingge broke through to become an Emperor, the clone in her ring suddenly floated out.

"My true body is about to awaken, and this clone is gradually dissipating."

"Thank you for helping my disciple break through to the Emperor Realm. After I awaken, I will definitely help you surpass the Emperor Venerable."

"Now I am just a clone. I can give you this power to help you break through to the Emperor Venerable. Before I awaken, you can take care of Qingge for me."

That clone merged into Shen Xiaoji's body, helping the latter break through to Emperor Venerable.

Shen Xiaoji's fighting spirit soared to the sky. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Suppress!"

After devouring that clone, Shen Xiaoji mastered some powerful techniques, and this Emperor Venerable Tribulation allowed him to safely pass through it without much delay.

The news of the Xuanming Sect spread throughout the corners of the Desolate Ancient Continent.

"Within a day, the Xuanming Sect produced an Emperor Venerable and a young Emperor?"

"Emperor Venerable! Sect Leader Shen has actually become an Emperor Venerable! We were still thinking of politely rejecting the Xuanming Sect, but now it seems that joining the Xuanming Sect is the most correct decision!"

"Wait! Are you saying that Chu Qingge has become an Emperor? She's only eighteen years old! She's actually become an Emperor?"

"Is this something that humans can do? Isn't this cultivation talent too heaven-defying?"

"The last time I heard of a young Emperor, it was Emperor Lin! Speaking of which, we haven't heard any stories about Emperor Lin for many days."

"The current Chu Qingge far surpasses the geniuses of the Central Continent and has become the second person in the younger generation!"

Chu Qingge was very dissatisfied after hearing everyone's discussions.

"Me, the second person in the younger generation?"

Since practicing the Devious Arts, Chu Qingge had undergone earth-shattering changes.

"I heard that Emperor Lin is already an Immortal Emperor. He's first, and I'm second?!"

"Give me some time, and I will kill him and devour him!"

"When I turn his talent into my own, I will surely become the number one person in the Desolate Ancient Continent!"

"Emperor Lin, I will find you and kill you!"
