Void Emperor!

At that moment, immortal light blanketed heaven and earth, and boundless divine tribulations surged forth, shattering the desolate edge of the universe before sweeping into the greater cosmos.

The Great Emperor Tribulation!

The most terrifying great tribulation since ancient times, the dreadful ordeal every Dao achiever had once endured, descended once again!

The universe trembled, and all living beings were gripped by fear. Countless people spread the news as they turned their eyes toward the desolate edge of the universe.

In this era, the opportunity to attain the Dao had only emerged not long ago. Who could possibly attain the Dao and become an emperor so quickly?

"The Saint Body only reached Great Accomplishment not long ago. Is someone actually about to Prove Dao and Become Emperor in this lifetime?"

"If this person truly succeeds, won't there be two Peerless Experts in this lifetime?"

"They say Empress West's husband was a Great Accomplishment Saint Body. Two Peerless Experts once existed in the same era!"

Someone Proving Dao and Becoming Emperor was already a momentous event that shook the universe, signifying the birth of a new era.

What was more, this lifetime already had a Great Accomplishment Saint Body, and now there would be another Great Emperor!

With two Peerless Experts existing in the same era and joining forces to suppress the world, which Forbidden Zone of Life would dare act rashly?

Many people seemed to have already glimpsed the arrival of a brilliant era, a peaceful golden age.

On Sacred Cliff, Yang Qing opened his eyes. A faint smile appeared on his face as countless rays of golden light rose beneath his feet.

He made no attempt to conceal his aura. Crossing the void and spanning the universe, he descended upon the desolate edge of the universe like a Great Emperor on procession.

Everyone was terrified. Why had the Great Accomplishment Saint Body come to the place where the Great Emperor Tribulation had descended?

Yang Qing stood at the desolate edge of the universe, his gaze sweeping across the cosmos. His blood and qi covered the heavens, his might shaking the universe.

His purpose in coming was simple: to protect Ji Xukong's Dao!

That's right! The one undergoing the Great Emperor Tribulation was Ji Xukong!

The struggle for the Emperor's Road in this lifetime had only begun a few centuries ago. Under normal circumstances, no one would Prove Dao and Become Emperor so quickly.

But Ji Xukong was different. A path that others needed more than a thousand years, or even several thousand years, to complete had taken him only a few centuries.

Ji Xukong had not failed his master's expectations. At the age of five hundred and one, he took the step to Prove Dao and Become Emperor!

Among all the human Great Emperors, if one spoke solely of cultivation speed, Ji Xukong was absolutely in a league of his own.

Of course, Ji Xukong was not yet a Great Emperor. But if he could successfully pass the Great Emperor Tribulation, what suspense could possibly remain?

Indescribable auras emerged from the various Forbidden Zones of Life. The earthshaking aura of the Great Emperor Tribulation had awakened the sleeping supreme beings.

When they saw the Great Accomplishment Saint Body standing outside the desolate edge of the universe, his blood and qi piercing the heavens, they all fell silent.

Logically speaking, whenever someone sought to Prove Dao and Become Emperor, they would definitely intervene and strangle the danger in its cradle.

Whether they could succeed was another matter, but they at least had to make a show of it. Yet at this moment, should they act?

"It's better to avoid this lifetime!" a supreme being sighed.

It was not that they did not want to act, but seeing the Great Accomplishment Saint Body's current stance, how could they not understand what was happening?

As long as they acted, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body would surely stop them. Their chances of success were not great.

Unless someone emerged, as they had last time, to hold back the Great Accomplishment Saint Body. Only then would the other supreme beings have a chance to interfere with the Great Emperor Tribulation.

But who would be willing to emerge at such a time? You? Or me?

No one wished to die. That was precisely why acting now would bring no benefit at all, only endless future troubles.

If there were only a Great Accomplishment Saint Body, or only a human Great Emperor, they might still have entertained some thoughts.

But in this lifetime, there would soon be both a Great Accomplishment Saint Body and a human Great Emperor!

If they acted, when the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and the human Great Emperor joined forces to kill them, which supreme being could face that calmly?

Of course, the most crucial point was that they could afford to wait!

So what if it was a Great Accomplishment Saint Body? So what if it was a human Great Emperor?

The peak of a lifetime lasted at most just over ten thousand years, while they endured alongside the world!

Over the long years, they had watched far too many human Great Emperors and Great Accomplishment Saint Bodies meet their final, sorrowful end.

After more than ten thousand years, when the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and the human Great Emperor entered their twilight years and their strength weakened, there would naturally come a time for reckoning.

At the desolate edge of the universe, Yang Qing saw that the various Forbidden Zones of Life remained silent and motionless. He could not help feeling somewhat disappointed.

He had thought some blind supreme being might take the risk, giving him the chance to kill a few more of them.

Perhaps after suffering losses several times, the supreme beings had not only become cautious, but smarter as well!

Since the supreme beings had no intention of acting, he could not be bothered to pay further attention to the Forbidden Zones of Life. His gaze focused on the desolate edge of the universe.

Experiencing the Great Emperor Tribulation at close range was of immense value to him, because he would inevitably reach this step in the future.

At the desolate edge of the universe, chaos surged and the great tribulation shook the world. All kinds of terrifying Heavenly Tribulations from legend descended at once, boundlessly dreadful.

"The Great Emperor Tribulation truly is extraordinary," Yang Qing murmured.

Compared to the Heavenly Tribulation he had faced when his Saint Body reached Great Accomplishment, the Great Emperor Tribulation was far more terrifying. They were not even on the same level.

If he wished to Prove Dao and Become Emperor in this lifetime, it would undoubtedly be harder than ascending to heaven, and his Heavenly Tribulation would become unimaginably terrifying as a result.

There was no helping it! It was already incomparably difficult for a Saint Body to become an emperor, let alone in a lifetime where a Great Emperor had already appeared.

Breaking the shackles that prevented the Saint Body from becoming an emperor, then forcibly becoming an emperor in an era where someone had already attained the Dao—those buffs were stacked to the limit!

Within the boundless sea of lightning, Ji Xukong fiercely battled the Great Emperor Tribulation, displaying unparalleled strength.

"He proves his Dao through the boundless void, mastering the ultimate of space!" Yang Qing murmured.

He had once seen Ji Xukong kill a Supreme Being's Progeny, but watching Ji Xukong fight now gave him an entirely different feeling.

Ji Xukong's attainments in the Dao of space were profoundly deep. Throughout the long ages, no one could surpass him.

Once Ji Xukong Proved Dao and Became Emperor, completing his final transformation and bringing his arts of the void to completion, they would surely become unfathomable.

This could already be seen from Ji Xukong's unceasing confrontation with the Heavenly Tribulation.

Drawing a little inspiration from it gave him considerable enlightenment. Once he refined it all together, it would become part of his foundation.

Under the gaze of countless people, the Great Emperor Tribulation gradually reached its end. There was no longer any suspense!

A new human Great Emperor had appeared. For the long years to come, he would be invincible beneath the heavens and rule the world.

Within the boundless sea of lightning, Ji Xukong underwent his final transformation. The five great secret realms reached perfection and merged into one, becoming a divine embryo Dao fruit.

He merged with the Heavenly Heart Seal and used his own Dao to suppress the Myriad Daos of Heaven and Earth. At the moment of success, boundless phenomena appeared.

True phoenixes spread their wings, true dragons soared through the skies, Vermilion Birds circled overhead—such phenomena filled the entire universe.

A peerless aura emerged. Supreme imperial might swept across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, shaking the universe in every direction and terrifying countless living beings.

"Today, I attain the Dao. From this day onward, I am the Void Emperor!"

When the Void Emperor's voice resounded throughout the universe, it signified the birth of a new human Great Emperor and the beginning of a brand-new era.

For Yang Qing, after Ji Xukong Proved Dao and Became Emperor, there were finally some things he could freely set out to do!
