Is He the Next Heavenly Emperor?

Ye Fan's face lit up with joy, his eyes brimming with anticipation!

During this time, he had been preparing to break through the restrictions of heaven and earth and enter the Four Extremes Realm.

But no matter how much he prepared, he still had little confidence when facing the restrictions of heaven and earth.

Now that Senior Void was there to protect his path and help him break through those restrictions, his chances of success had undoubtedly increased greatly.

However, after his excitement subsided, a trace of hesitation appeared on Ye Fan's face.

"Master, please save the Divine King!" Ye Fan said.

The Divine King had taught him Nine Secrets: Dou, one of the Nine Secrets, in Purple Mountain. That counted as a favor.

Now that the Divine King was in his twilight years, Ye Fan truly could not bear to watch a Peerless Expert pass away like this.

"Don't you have divine medicine? Just send it over!" Li Ping said.

The White-Clad Divine King, Jiang Taixu, had been born in an era when heaven and earth were dormant. To attain what he had today, he could indeed be considered a peerless genius.

Ye Fan nodded. Some of the divine medicine had been prepared for himself, but judging by his master's meaning, he would no longer need it.

The three arrived at the underground palace of the Jiang Family. Ye Fan presented the divine medicine and was soon led inside.

At the Jiang Family's underground palace, beside the Dragon Transformation Pool, the Jiang Family's Divine King Jiang Taixu was little more than skin and bones!

To save Divine King Jiang Taixu, Ye Fan held nothing back. He even gave away all nine drops of medicinal liquid from the True Dragon Immortal Medicine.

"Now, ignore everything else and focus wholeheartedly on undergoing your tribulation!" Li Ping said.

Ye Fan nodded. With a swish of his sleeve, a pile of Divine Source blocks appeared beside him.

Everyone in the Jiang Family looked over in astonishment. So much Divine Source actually belonged to a youth in the Dao Palace Realm?

After placing all the Divine Source around him, Ye Fan sat cross-legged on the ground and began his breakthrough!

The essence energy throughout his body surged, his blood energy soaring into the sky and forming a dragon-shaped pillar that pierced the night sky like a peerless sword punching through heaven and earth.

"Is the Sacred Body breaking through? Is he preparing to enter the Four Extremes Realm?" a Jiang Family expert asked in shock.

This was the critical moment for their Jiang Family's Divine King to recover, yet the Sacred Body was actually choosing this time to break through?

A green lotus appeared beside Ye Fan. It had only three leaves, and the Sacred Body's phenomenon emerged alongside it.

Divine City was shaken. Countless people looked toward the Jiang Family underground palace, their faces full of disbelief.

The news that Divine King Jiang Taixu was still alive had already spread throughout Divine City. The various sacred lands had rushed over, and countless experts had appeared in the city.

It was no exaggeration to say that everyone's attention was focused on Divine King Jiang Taixu.

Yet at this very moment, the Sacred Body was actually breaking through, preparing to enter the Four Extremes Realm?

"I understand now. The Sacred Body is sharing the pressure for the Divine King!" an elder of the Jiang Family said.

Quite a few people did not want the Divine King to live. In fact, their Jiang Family had long prepared for a great battle.

But the Sacred Body had chosen this moment to break through, which would undoubtedly draw the attention of many people, especially the various sacred lands.

This way, fewer people would focus on the Divine King, greatly reducing the pressure on their Jiang Family.

"The Sacred Body is sacrificing himself to fulfill the Divine King. He has done our Jiang Family a great favor!" a Jiang Family elder sighed.

In the Post-Ancient Era, it had become an unbreakable curse that the Sacred Body could not enter the Four Extremes Realm!

The Sacred Body surely knew that he could not break through, which was why he had chosen this moment to attempt it, hoping to fulfill the Divine King.

Just as the Jiang Family had expected, Ye Fan's breakthrough indeed attracted countless gazes.

"The Sacred Body is actually in Divine City? He really has the nerve!"

"Breaking through at a time like this—is he courting death?"

"There will be a good show today. Who knows how many experts will take this chance to strike!"

Just as countless people were discussing the matter, a tremor shook heaven and earth. Like a dragon's roar, it came from the horizon.

Someone had attacked. Killing intent surged like a raging flood, transforming into a giant dragon that charged in roaring, intent on stopping Ye Fan's breakthrough.

"Courting death!" Li Ping softly uttered two words.

To stop his disciple from attaining the Dao right in front of him—even a clay Buddha had three parts anger, let alone him?

He stretched out a massive hand that covered heaven and earth, shattering the giant dragon before continuing onward to seize the sky.

Above the nine heavens, a figure playing a zither was caught by the massive hand and instantly crushed into ash.

But this was merely a primordial spirit puppet. An expert had only been probing with a tentative attack, while his true body remained hidden in the darkness.

Without pausing, the hand that blotted out the sky suppressed downward. A miserable scream rang out from somewhere in Divine City.

He was merely a rat hiding in the shadows, not even qualified to make the Void Emperor act. Li Ping could deal with him himself.

Ever since transmigrating into the Shrouding the Heavens World, he had not deliberately improved his cultivation, but he was now a Saint.

In this era when heaven and earth were dormant, Saints had nearly vanished. Any one of them was enough to sweep across the world.

An expert had fallen, and Divine City instantly became silent. Those who had originally intended to act all became uncertain and wary.

"Who is acting? Does the Sacred Body actually have another expert behind him?"

"With such an expert protecting him, perhaps the Sacred Body can truly break the restrictions of heaven and earth this time!"

"This is incredible! Storm clouds are gathering in Divine City. The waters run deep!"

Before long, clamor soared into the sky. Everywhere in Divine City, people were discussing the matter.

Li Ping remained outwardly calm, but as he watched his Shock Value continuously rise, he was already overjoyed inside.

"Zhang San was utterly shocked. Shock Value +50!"

"Li Si guessed that the Sacred Body had a mysterious expert protecting his path and no longer dared to attack. Shock Value +100!"

"An elder of Dao Yi Sacred Land was shocked. Shock Value +150!"

In no time at all, the Shock Value he had gained had already exceeded one hundred thousand!

Little by little, it added up. If he worked a little harder, he could accumulate enough Shock Value to revive another Human Emperor.

Those hiding in the dark no longer dared to act rashly. This was a rare opportunity.

Divine King Jiang Taixu was striving to recover, while Ye Fan was also doing all he could to break through into the Four Extremes Realm.

"Rumble!"

A moment later, Ye Fan underwent a complete transformation. His body shimmered with radiance as heavenly tribulation descended.

Thunder rumbled endlessly above the nine heavens. A sea of lightning emerged, and purple bolts descended toward Ye Fan.

"Not bad," the Void Emperor said softly.

Since ancient times, the descent of heavenly tribulation during a breakthrough had always indicated that the one breaking through possessed monstrous talent.

Ye Fan could now be considered a monster as well. How many people in the world could earn a "not bad" from the Void Emperor?

"Of course he is. After all, he is the next Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court!" Li Ping said.

The moment those words entered the Void Emperor's ears, they were no different from a bolt from the blue.

The Heavenly Court was unfathomably mysterious. It had existed since ancient times and spanned the Myriad Worlds. The ruler of the Heavenly Court was surely a Peerless Expert!

This Sacred Body of the current age had only just broken through and was preparing to enter the Four Extremes Realm, yet he was actually the next Heavenly Emperor?

"Is he truly that extraordinary?" the Void Emperor voiced his doubts.

In his eyes, Ye Fan was fairly good, but only fairly good.

Throughout the ages, so many exceptionally gifted experts had arisen. Every Great Emperor and Ancient Sovereign had been an outstanding figure of his era.

But in his heart, no Ancient Sovereign or Great Emperor could be mentioned in the same breath as the Heavenly Emperor, ruler of the Heavenly Court.

Could it be that Ye Fan possessed some exceptional quality he had failed to notice all along?

Only then did he suddenly understand. No wonder the Heavenly Court had issued the mission to "protect the Sacred Body's path."

If Ye Fan truly was the next Heavenly Emperor, then it was not strange at all for the Heavenly Court to issue such a mission.
