Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 441 The True Emperor, Achieving the Path (Part Two)

Above the sky, amidst a sea of ​​thunder, thunder roared, and terrifying pressure instantly spread throughout the universe, causing all living beings to feel immense fear.

Lightning illuminated the entire universe, shocking the world; a terrifying tribulation was about to descend.

After being removed from the list of the Big Dipper in the Divine Ruins, Yuan Changqing came to the Borderland Universe. Once his essence, energy, and spirit had recovered to their peak state, he began to trigger the tribulation of heaven and earth.

Yuan Changqing is already an unconventional emperor and does not need to undergo this tribulation of heaven and earth.

However, Yuan Changqing's current state is itself a kind of opportunistic one.

Therefore, to continue advancing, it still needs to undergo a tribulation of lightning, just like the Five Elements Diagram. Only after undergoing the tribulation of lightning can it be perfectly transformed into an ultimate imperial artifact.

Therefore, Yuan Changqing's unconventional actions of becoming emperor and triggering a tribulation of lightning did not harm him.

A vast sea of ​​lightning and thunder filled the boundless cosmic wilderness. With the arrival of the Great Emperor's tribulation, the atmosphere in the universe became incredibly oppressive.

At this moment, all living beings in the world could sense it, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on their hearts, making them feel utterly suffocated.

Chaos surged, and boundless strange phenomena appeared in the sky. Within that terrifying sea of ​​lightning, the shadows of Kunpeng, true dragon, divine phoenix, and even immortal elixirs flashed continuously, leaving people in awe.

However, what's different is that those immortal medicines give people a different feeling; at this moment, they all exude a terrifying aura and possess astonishing power.

Behind each of these elixirs of immortality lies a face, both male and female, instantly shocking the world.

Now, these phantom images of immortal medicines exude the aura of immortal laws, which is extremely terrifying and makes people feel that they are powerless to resist.

At this moment, Yuan Changqing flew directly to the center of the sea of ​​lightning, and endless lightning surged forth like a waterfall.

In the vast, desolate universe, terrifying lightning swept across the sky, as if the heavens and earth were being created anew, shattering galaxies and exploding the starry sky.

The scene was terrifying; the destructive power was boundless and terrifying.

For Yuan Changqing now, there is no need to break the Heavenly Heart Mark of Heaven and Earth. This time, he only wants to receive the baptism of the power of the thunder of Heaven and Earth.

Only by undergoing the baptism of thunder can one be considered to have completed a full realm, which brings endless benefits both now and in the future.

Yuan Changqing was now radiating terrifying five-colored divine light, with the Five Elements Diagram floating above his head, all receiving the baptism of the power of heaven and earth's thunder.

At this moment, all the unparalleled powerhouses in the universe were shocked. They all watched silently as Yuan Changqing continuously challenged the endless lightning and laws within the sea of ​​lightning.

The entire universe is anticipating the possibility of two great emperors in one era, so that perhaps the prodigies of this golden age can see even a glimmer of hope.

However, this might disappoint countless geniuses, because Yuan Changqing had no intention of breaking the Heavenly Heart Mark that Gai Jiuyou had already merged with.

Therefore, it is not suitable for those geniuses in the universe to follow Yuan Changqing's path.

It's like Yuan Changqing is currently using the power of an Emperor to fight against the tribulation of an Emperor, even though the tribulation is more terrifying because of Yuan Changqing's strength.

However, the fact is that Yuan Changqing already possessed the strength of an emperor.

"boom!"

Within the sea of ​​lightning, Yuan Changqing continuously fought against the illusory figures within, relentlessly attacking them.

Those immortal medicines are incredibly terrifying; they have now become Yuan Changqing's most terrifying threat.

These immortal elixirs were once the work of fallen immortal kings. Behind each of these elixirs, one could see that every face exuded an aura of immense vicissitudes, having endured countless ages.

Now, these fallen immortal kings have transformed into the greatest opportunity in the world—a chance to be reborn.

They were all materialized by the lightning within the sea of ​​thunder, transforming into Yuan Changqing's terrifying calamity.

At this moment, Yuan Changqing was constantly battling against these immortal divine medicines, and also constantly devouring the thunderous energy in the sea of ​​thunder.

However, the lightning in the sea of ​​thunder can no longer easily harm Yuan Changqing.

The real threat to Yuan Changqing comes from the phantom images of immortal elixirs transformed from the fallen immortal kings.

The lightning grew more and more numerous and terrifying, an endless torrent of lightning surging down on Yuan Changqing like a waterfall, as if to strangle him within its power.

It was as if Heaven and Earth were trying to prevent Yuan Changqing from passing through this Great Emperor's Tribulation, as if they were not allowing Yuan Changqing to attain enlightenment.

The figures behind the immortal elixir within the sea of ​​lightning unleashed terrifying divine power, their thunder engulfing the desolate universe as if they had arrived in this world from the long river of time.

An endless sea of ​​lightning, with bursts of lightning, and various celestial platforms and palaces constantly evolved, densely covered with the laws of the Dao, swallowing chaos and suppressing the universe.

The endless lightning tribulation surged down on Yuan Changqing, giving him no time to catch his breath.

"kill!"

Yuan Changqing was also launching a full-scale counterattack, roaring continuously amidst the sea of ​​lightning, like an unparalleled god, his divine might overwhelming.

At this moment, Yuan Changqing exerted all his strength, constantly fighting against those Great Dao Laws and battling with those illusory images of immortal divine medicines, unleashing his ultimate divine might.

However, the figures behind those immortal elixirs are indeed terrifying. Even though they can only exert the strength of an emperor due to the rules of heaven and earth, they are still powerful enough to achieve that level.

However, after a fierce battle, Yuan Changqing was still covered in blood.

This shows just how terrifying this tribulation was.

As the power of the lightning tribulation grew increasingly terrifying, many different immortal spirits emerged from the sea of ​​lightning, making it extremely frightening.

This was like a life-or-death battle; if you didn't advance, you would retreat, and if you couldn't survive, you would perish under this tribulation of lightning.

However, Yuan Changqing did not relax at all and continued fighting without stopping for a moment.

Meanwhile, the phantom images of the immortal medicine continued to attack Yuan Changqing, with endless lightning tribulations falling wave after wave.

As the tribulation deepened, Yuan Changqing's pressure increased, and his body even began to explode.

However, after being baptized by thunder, Yuan Changqing's divine body was also undergoing continuous transformation, including his primordial spirit and the artifact for proving the Dao.

At this moment, Yuan Changqing has become increasingly powerful, and this is the true transformation of the flawless emperor.

As a result, Yuan Changqing was repeatedly bombarded by lightning and exploded, covered in blood, a truly gruesome sight.

However, in the final stage, Yuan Changqing fought back and forth with the phantom figure in the thunder.

Yuan Changqing was indeed an unconventional emperor, constantly transforming himself during the tribulation and becoming stronger in every way.

Even as he ventured deeper into the tribulation, the tribulation grew stronger and stronger. In the end, Yuan Changqing finally broke free of the lightning cage and shattered the sea of ​​lightning in the sky.

Finally, Yuan Changqing managed to survive this unusual tribulation of the Great Emperor.

Ultimately, Yuan Changqing's intention this time was not to break the Heavenly Heart Mark and defy fate to become an emperor.

Therefore, the lightning in the sea of ​​thunder will not fall indefinitely. After all, the Heavenly Dao needs the origin of the universe to nurture the tribulation of lightning.

Therefore, after Yuan Changqing survived the Great Emperor's Tribulation, the Heavenly Heart Mark that Gai Jiuyou had merged with was not broken, and he remained the only Great Emperor in the world.

Yuan Changqing, an unconventional emperor, only relied on the tribulations of heaven and earth to transform himself and become a flawless emperor.

However, as Yuan Changqing became an emperor, countless quasi-emperors at the ninth level of the universe discovered something amiss.

Because the Heavenly Heart Mark of Heaven and Earth was not broken, yet Yuan Changqing became an emperor.

This surprised and even shocked countless quasi-emperors.

They never expected that Yuan Changqing would become emperor in this way, not by breaking the Heavenly Mandate and defying the heavens to become emperor as they had imagined.

At this moment, those geniuses who had some qualifications to achieve enlightenment wanted to get answers from Yuan Changqing.

So they all headed towards the edge of the universe, wanting to find out the truth.

As the tribulation dissipated and the world returned to peace, the divine energy and residual lightning power within the world, like a galaxy, were devoured by Yuan Changqing, allowing him to restore his own divine energy.

After Yuan Changqing regained his god-level status, he was surrounded by countless powerful figures from the universe, all looking at him with anticipation.

"If you have any questions, you may come to the Heavenly Court," Yuan Changqing said before they could speak.

After all, Yuan Changqing's path to becoming an emperor was too unconventional, and countless people in the universe probably wanted to know the reason behind it.

Yuan Changqing also didn't want all the powerful figures who could attain enlightenment to come to him for guidance in the future.

Therefore, Yuan Changqing wanted to resolve the issue once and for all to avoid being entangled in troublesome matters.

"Great Emperor, have mercy!" Countless geniuses around shouted.

At that moment, they couldn't help but cheer, as if they had seen a road leading to heaven.

However, the path Yuan Changqing chose was one that they could not achieve.

However, Yuan Changqing still had some ideas, though they were just ideas.

Whether it will succeed or not remains to be seen.

However, it ultimately leaves a path for those who come after to explore, and whether they succeed depends on their individual circumstances.

After Yuan Changqing finished speaking, a celestial road paved with immortal light stretched towards the Big Dipper.

Finally, Yuan Changqing went directly to the Heavenly Court's headquarters established by Ye Fan.

"Congratulations on your attainment of Emperor status, Senior."

Upon arriving at Ye Fan's Heavenly Court, Ye Fan and the people of the Heavenly Court congratulated Yuan Changqing.

"Alright, everyone, there's no need for such formalities. Just act as usual," Yuan Changqing said, waving his hand.

Then, Yuan Changqing reached out and headed towards Earth, eventually bringing his family back to Beidou.

Soon after, the most outstanding talents and powerful figures in the universe also came to the Heavenly Court.

As the ruler of the Heavenly Court, Ye Fan also began to send his subordinates to greet the powerful figures from various forces across the universe.

At this moment, the most powerful people in the universe have gathered here in the Heavenly Court. They have come here to find out how Yuan Changqing became an emperor.

Now, besides Yuan Changqing, who has just become an emperor, Gai Jiuyou, the current emperor, has also arrived here.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Heavenly Court, at the very front, sat Ye Fan, Gai Jiuyou, and Yuan Changqing, the three strongest beings in the universe at that time.

"Welcome, fellow Daoists, to my Heavenly Court. Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality," Ye Fan, as the host, said first.

"You're too kind, fellow Daoist."

"We apologize for disturbing you."

"..."

The countless talented and powerful individuals who came here responded one after another.

Then, Ye Fan added, "I won't go into the reasons why you've come here. If any of you fellow cultivators have any questions, please ask Emperor Changqing!"

Ye Fan addressed Yuan Changqing by his name, thus officially making Yuan Changqing known to the talented individuals who had come here.

"May I ask if the Evergreen Emperor has attained enlightenment?" a powerful figure asked impatiently.

"Indeed!" Yuan Changqing replied calmly.

"How did the Evergreen Emperor attain enlightenment?" another powerful figure stepped forward and asked.

At this moment, the Heavenly Court was completely silent, as everyone waited for the path to enlightenment they had been anticipating. Countless eyes were fixed on Yuan Changqing above.

Yuan Changqing first looked intently at the expectant crowd below, a crowd that was both expectant and nervous.

Even Ye Fan was filled with anticipation at this moment, after all, the Ancient Sacred Body had never been attained by anyone since ancient times.

Even now that Ye Fan has achieved the Great Perfection of the Sacred Body, making him comparable to and capable of fighting Emperors, and with Emperors currently ruling the world.

Therefore, to attain enlightenment, one must defy the heavens, break the constraints and rules of heaven and earth, and become an emperor against the heavens.

However, this is easier said than done. If the current emperor does not want any successors to attain enlightenment, he will directly suppress them with the Great Dao. Trying to defy the heavens is simply a false proposition with no chance of survival.

Even if Ye Fan were powerful, and even if Gai Jiuyou didn't care about later successors, he still had no confidence and no chance of winning.

Now, with Yuan Changqing as a living example, it brings boundless hope to the powerful beings in the universe who are qualified to achieve enlightenment.

At this moment, Yuan Changqing finally spoke up: "The possibility of getting the answer you want, the possibility of achieving it, is very small, even hopelessly small."

"We beg Your Majesty to grant our request." At this moment, countless geniuses and powerful figures bowed and said.

Even the smallest hope is still a path to heaven, and no one wants to give up.

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "Alright, since everyone wants to know, I might as well tell you. I just hope you won't be discouraged."

"The path the Great Emperor has taken is ultimately a visible path to heaven. Even in the face of despair, there is always hope. We implore the Great Emperor to grant our request," a powerful figure said hopefully.

Because Gai Jiuyou was the first to attain enlightenment, blocking the path of countless geniuses in this generation, and now that there is hope again, how could he give up so easily?

After all, every powerful person qualified to attain the Dao has undergone countless trials and tribulations, and their Dao heart is steadfast.

Yuan Changqing added, "My path can only serve as a reference for you. As for whether it will be successful, I don't know."

"After all, everyone has their own opportunities. I may succeed, but that doesn't mean I will always succeed."

"Therefore, since you want to hear it, I will say it, and you can judge for yourselves!"

"As I said before, the hope for my path is extremely slim, so slim that it's almost hopeless."

"You are all among the strongest beings in the world, and you should know that there are some extraordinary treasures that are born in this world."

"The reason I have achieved this level is because I obtained such an opportunity, which ultimately led me to become a Great Emperor."

"As everyone should know, to achieve the status of an emperor, one must replace the Way of Heaven with one's own, merge with the imprint of the Heavenly Heart, and suppress all other paths with one's own."

"However, with a great emperor ruling the world, the path ahead, under the rules of heaven and earth, is already a dead end."

"My method is to use extraordinary treasures as the mark of the Heavenly Heart, replacing the Heavenly Dao, and thus becoming an emperor in an alternative way."

"However, rare treasures are scarce, and this method is not suitable for everyone. My method can only be described as a shortcut."

"In fact, I don't even know if any rare treasure is suitable to be used as a Heavenly Heart Mark."

"Therefore, you can just take my method of attaining enlightenment as a reference. Perhaps you can find a more suitable method."

After hearing Yuan Changqing's words, countless geniuses and powerful figures understood why Yuan Changqing said his method was insignificant.

However, this is still a reference point, and perhaps we can even gain some inspiration from it.

The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and even if one is lost, there is always hope, no matter how insignificant it may be.

"Thank you for the grace of the Great Emperor in attaining enlightenment."

Regardless of how difficult Yuan Changqing's path may be, and how slim the hope may be, it still provides another point of reference for the general public.

Therefore, the talented and powerful individuals who came here to seek advice from Yuan Changqing were all grateful for Yuan Changqing's method of achieving enlightenment.

Seeing this, Yuan Changqing simply nodded, but he couldn't bear to see so many talented individuals lose their path forward.

Finally, Yuan Changqing voiced an immature idea that was inspired by the path the Azure Emperor took to become an immortal.

Then Yuan Changqing added, "I have another immature idea here, please take a look."

"To attain enlightenment, one must merge with the Heavenly Heart Imprint. This is the mark of an enlightened being. However, in an era where a Great Emperor governs the world, this path is no longer viable."

"Then, just like the way I attained enlightenment, is there any precious item that could replace the Heavenly Heart Mark?"

"Therefore, my immature idea is to find a special treasure to refine, or to directly use the artifact for proving the Dao as the foundation to open up a world, which can serve as a substitute for the Heavenly Heart Imprint, and thus ultimately prove the Dao."

"Of course, this is just my conjecture, and there is no guarantee of success, or rather, it is not a path that is likely to succeed."

"So, you can just take this immature idea as a reference; it's not the truth."

After Yuan Changqing finished speaking about this idea, everyone guessed that this might be an alternative extension of Yuan Changqing's method of becoming an emperor through the extraordinary treasure.

As for whether it will ultimately succeed, Yuan Changqing also said that it is just a conjecture and success cannot be guaranteed.

Whether those who aspire to attain enlightenment ultimately follow this path, and whether they succeed or fail, depends on their individual fortunes.

It might succeed, it might fail, who can say for sure!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, we are deeply grateful." The crowd bowed and thanked them again.

Finally, at everyone's request, Yuan Changqing and Gai Jiuyou explained the Great Dao to those who had come here.

From then on, the title of Emperor Changqing, Yuan Changqing, began to slowly spread throughout the world.
