Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

However, Wang Fan was also self-aware, knowing that his current cultivation level was too low to be worthy of using such a high-end mode of transportation as the Golden Road. Then the appearance of the Golden Chariot perfectly met his requirements.

It can be said that apart from his high-profile travels and somewhat pretentious behavior, Wang Fan himself has no other flaws. The real drags him down are his family members.

A middle-aged male cultivator smiled helplessly and spoke up.

"Wang Dekun, the father of the Northern Emperor Wang Fan, is really a freak. He always tells everyone that his son Wang Fan has the potential to be an emperor, and now he has even said that his son Wang Fan has the potential to be a celestial king. This is too much praise. If you didn't know better, you would think that he had a grudge against Wang Fan and was Wang Fan's enemy."

"Yes, to be honest, if my father were like that, I really couldn't stand it."

"It's one thing to brag about his son, but the real problem is that now that the Northern Emperor is getting stronger, his father is becoming more and more arrogant. He even uses his son to put others down in his daily conversations, which is really going too far."

"That's why he's a father who ruins his son's life," someone added, half-laughing and half-crying.

"And his four-year-old brother Wang Chong is even more outrageous. At such a young age, he is arrogant and domineering, and he acts recklessly because his older brother is the top genius of the world. He is a spoiled little man-child. Everyone tolerates him and is unwilling to make a fuss because of the Northern Emperor."

Everyone sighed in agreement.

"Alas, what a pity for the Northern Emperor's illustrious reputation. He's bound to be dragged down by such a family sooner or later, and will eventually cause trouble that's hard to control because of his family."

Suddenly, someone in the crowd made a joking remark.

"Speaking of which, to deal with an unreasonable and spoiled brat like the Northern Emperor's brother, it has to be our Black Emperor who takes action. The Black Emperor is the best at dealing with all kinds of disobedience."

This statement instantly ignited the atmosphere, with all the cultivators' eyes lighting up in enthusiastic agreement. Compared to Wang Dekun, Wang Chong, this childish and immature man, was far more detestable.

This overgrown child is so rude and causes trouble. He keeps saying things like, "He's just a child."

Who can stand this? It's safe to say that almost everyone is annoyed by Wang Chong's overgrown child behavior and wants to beat him up.

"That's absolutely right! Lord Black Emperor is the nemesis of these kinds of overgrown children!"

"They're perfect for dealing with arrogant, domineering, and bullying types. If Black King ever sees one, he'll definitely teach him a lesson he won't tolerate!"

The entire audience burst into laughter. For the people of the Origin Realm, everyone was all too familiar with the name of the Black Emperor.

He was the most famous oddball in the Origin Realm, with a unique brain circuit and an extremely foul mouth. He could make people so angry they wanted to vomit blood, and he had left the people of the Origin Realm speechless on many occasions.

However, the Black Emperor grew up in the Heavenly Court from a young age, and his background was unmatched. Moreover, as the son of the legendary Emperor Taichu, who was known as the Little Heavenly Emperor, his status was extremely revered.

Yet this black dog, who had no shortage of resources and a powerful background, was unruly and had an extremely foul mouth, always arguing with cultivators all over the world whenever he went out.

On ordinary days, he would make everyone from the highest ruler to the youngest prodigy grit their teeth in anger.

But it not only has a strong background, it is also very powerful. Ordinary people can't catch up with it at all, and even if they do, they can't break through its defenses.

Those who could break through the defenses were too embarrassed to act, after all, they had to give face to the Primordial Emperor.

Moreover, this big black dog is only a bit sarcastic; its character is good. It loves to stand up for the weak and is dedicated to dealing with all kinds of bullies and tyrannical people.

It can't stand anyone bullying the weak or being arrogant when it goes out, so all the cultivators in the Origin Realm both love and hate it.

"It's a pity that Lord Black Emperor has rarely caused trouble in recent years. I wonder when he will reappear. I miss him quite a bit."

An old man remarked that he really liked Black King's personality; he would directly criticize what he didn't like and never engaged in internal strife.

After defeating Lightning Boy, Wang Fan did not stop but continued to challenge others. Soon, exclamations of surprise rang out from outside.

"Incredible! The Northern Emperor has slain several more Primordial Chaotic Era Dao Shadows!"

"It seems that the first generation of the Chaotic Ancient Era is completely unable to keep up with the pace of the supreme geniuses of our era. We need even stronger geniuses to emerge."

"Those who can rival the Northern Emperor are probably only at the level of the ten-time champion and the double-pupiled one; only those who represent the pinnacle of their era can contend with him!"

"That's right, only top geniuses from an entire era are eligible."

Countless people are discussing the situation and making their own judgments about the level of the battle.

Soon, as everyone chatted, time passed quickly. Then, light and shadow shifted in mid-air, and a heroic and upright young man stepped out of the Trial Tower.

It was none other than the Northern Emperor Fan, who had just won a series of victories.

He was dressed in a magnificent black robe, his posture as upright as a pine tree and a sharp sword, his handsome face exuding an aura of domineering authority.

Endless golden divine patterns flowed around his body, and divine light descended, giving him an aura that was both imposing and unassailable.

It was none other than the Northern Emperor Wang Fan, one of the five supreme geniuses of this era.

As soon as the Northern Emperor Fan appeared, many people's eyes turned to him.

Among the crowd, Zhang San, a young prodigy who was also at the Saint Realm, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"What a powerful aura! Is this really just the Saint Realm? Even the foundation of an ordinary Saint King is only this level. As expected of the Northern Emperor Wang Fan, as expected of someone who can defeat Lightning Zi in ten moves."

Zhang San had fought Lightning Spear in the Trial Tower just a few hours ago.

He suffered a crushing defeat, being completely dominated and beaten by his opponent throughout the match.

Therefore, he knew all too well just how terrifying Lightning Boy's lightning powers were; he was a formidable enemy that even he could not withstand with all his might.

But now he can't even last ten moves against the Northern Emperor Wang Fan.

"The difference is just too big..."

Upon realizing this, Zhang San couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection).

He was utterly defeated by Lightning, while the Northern Emperor utterly defeated Lightning. So how big is the gap between him and the Northern Emperor?

"As expected, talent is still the most important factor in cultivation."

Zhang San thought to himself with emotion that even though the current cultivation environment far surpasses that of the Chaotic Ancient Era and the Immortal Ancient Era.

The supreme scriptures are widely circulated, so everyone has the opportunity to cultivate. For example, Zhang San's own scriptures are no worse than Wang Fan's. He has learned the Emperor Scripture, and even the Heavenly Emperor Scripture and the Immortal King Law. But he still can't beat Lightning. This is the difference in talent, which external medical resources cannot make up for.

Zhang San's existence proves that although the cultivation environment is much better now than in the Chaotic Ancient and Immortal Ancient times, and anyone can learn all kinds of powerful scriptures, talent is still the most important factor in cultivation.

Given the same resources and conditions, the gap between an ordinary person and a genius is greater than the gap between a dog and a person.

However, a good training environment can make the whole group stronger and make geniuses even more geniuses.

Wang Fan stood atop the clouds, gazing into the distance with a calm expression.

Yet, a fierce fighting spirit surged within him, and his thoughts raced.

He knew that the opponents who could now stand in his way were all unparalleled geniuses who had reached the pinnacle of their respective eras.

They are all supreme figures who will be able to step into the realm of Immortal King in the future, and their talents are far beyond those of ordinary Immortal Kings.

But he felt no fear, only excitement and fighting spirit.

His idol is the Heavenly Emperor, who has dominated the past and present, and who personally ushered in a golden age.

This is what has led to the current flourishing of all paths in the Origin Realm.

It was only through the Heavenly Emperor's long and arduous efforts that he secured an exceptional cultivation environment for everyone in the Origin Realm, far surpassing that of the Chaotic Ancient and Immortal Ancient eras.

Born in this unprecedented golden age, if I cannot surpass the geniuses of past generations and reach the pinnacle of cultivation...

He was not qualified to look up at the Heavenly Emperor's back, nor was he worthy of being ranked among the five supreme geniuses of the world.

Wang Fan's eyes burned with an ever-increasing intensity as he silently made a grand vow.

"I must work harder and become stronger, so as not to let down the glorious era created by the Heavenly Emperor. Ten-Crown King with Double Pupils, I await the day when I will fight you. At the same level, I will defeat you."

Wang Fan knew in his heart that ordinary first-generation geniuses could no longer put enough pressure on him.

Therefore, he needs a stronger opponent of a higher level to hone his Dao heart.

The Ten-Time Champion with Double Pupils, a pinnacle of his era, is the most suitable opponent to contend with.

But he's still lacking something; he needs to become stronger. "Almost there! Once I grasp the true essence of the Heavenly Emperor Fist, I'll be ready!"

Wang Fan thought to himself that his idol was the Heavenly Emperor, and he had also inherited another Chaos Body from a young age, so his main cultivation was naturally the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, and his favorite part of the Heavenly Emperor Scripture was the Heavenly Emperor Fist.

The feeling of breaking through all laws with a single punch was very much to his liking and fascinated him. He did indeed have talent and comprehension, and had gained a lot of insights into the Heavenly Emperor Scripture and the Heavenly Emperor Fist.

Just then, a deafening shout suddenly rang out from the periphery of the crowd.

"Jiang Taixu has arrived! The peerless god-king Jiang Taixu has arrived!"
