Title Human Emperor

The Chaos Body proved the Dao, one of the nine great Heavenly Lords of the Mythological Era, Carefree Heavenly Lord, reappeared, then was slain and fell at the hands of the Chaos Body.

The Chaos Body broke through the Myriad Daos, transcending them to become emperor.

Any one of these events would have been enough to shock the world, a major event worthy of being recorded in ancient history.

Yet in this era, all of them appeared at once, leaving people utterly shaken!

The legendary Chaos Body had appeared. Having just succeeded in its tribulation, it killed Carefree Heavenly Lord, a Heavenly Lord of the Mythological Era, declaring the power and heaven-defying nature of this physique.

Carefree Heavenly Lord's fall also cooled the restless Forbidden Zone Supremes who had intended to seize the Chaos Body's origin.

This Chaos Body was simply too heaven-defying. They acknowledged Carefree Heavenly Lord's strength.

They had watched the battle from beginning to end. Even after Carefree Heavenly Lord underwent Ultimate Sublimation, he had been unable to do anything to the Chaos Body.

Carefree Heavenly Lord was forcibly blasted to death by the Chaos Body.

This physique, which had only briefly appeared during the Mythological Era, now shone with dazzling brilliance in the Ancient Era, shocking the world!

Its formidable strength made those Forbidden Zone Supremes wary of acting rashly.

They all knew that this Chaos Body still had strength to spare. Emerging now would be no different from seeking death.

"Breaking through the Myriad Daos to become emperor, transcending the Myriad Daos... How is that possible?" A Forbidden Zone Supreme had yet to recover from his shock and muttered to himself.

Breaking through the Myriad Daos, transcending them to become emperor!

The very notion was unbelievable. As former Dao Provers, they naturally understood how difficult it was.

Of course, these Forbidden Zone Supremes did not know that in Later Generations, there would be a heaven-defying figure who, in an era where an emperor reigned and the Myriad Daos and the Great Emperor's Dao imposed suppression, forcibly broke through the Myriad Daos to become a Great Emperor.

Had they known, they would likely have been even more horrified.

Only one emperor could exist in a single lifetime. This was universally acknowledged.

Even the Heavenly Court founded by Emperor Lord during the Mythological Era claimed that all Heavenly Lords could coexist.

But that was merely what they said. In truth, aside from Emperor Lord at the time,

the other Heavenly Lords had all severed themselves with a single stroke, relying on Nine Revolutions Immortal Pills to temporarily restore themselves to an immaculate state.

However, in this era, the Sun Saint Emperor's Great Dao had long since dispersed. Breaking through the suppression of the Myriad Daos was not actually so difficult.

Transcending the Myriad Daos was far less difficult than what Ye Fan would face in Later Generations.

Moreover, the Chaos Body was naturally close to the Myriad Daos. Even with an emperor reigning, it could still prove the Dao.

"Human Emperor?"

The expressions of many Heavenly Lords sealed away since the Mythological Era changed slightly.

Even the incomparably domineering Yin Human Emperor had not dared to take Human as his title alone.

Although many of the Human Race regarded him as the Human Emperor, the Forbidden Zone Supremes all scoffed at it.

After all, Yin had died, while they still endured in this world.

Most of these ancient Heavenly Lords from the Mythological Era had been born human.

When the Ancient Myriad Races rose during the Ancient Era and the Human Race declined, the Forbidden Zone Supremes of human origin had merely watched coldly.

Over the long years, they had long since lost much of their sense of identification with the Human Race.

In their eyes, the Human Race was merely one kind of food.

Now that Chen Zhao had proven the Dao and taken Human Emperor as his title, this was what displeased the many Supremes of human origin.

It meant that he intended to stand above them.

"Daring to call himself the Human Emperor—he truly is arrogant. I wonder whether he can bear such monstrous karma." A Forbidden Zone Supreme said coldly.

"So what if he is a Chaos Body? As long as he does not undergo Self-Severance, he will eventually undergo Dao Transformation beneath the passage of years."

"Let him be arrogant for now. Sooner or later, he will pay the price. His Late Years will be the time for us to settle karma with him."

"I am waiting for his Late Years. I truly wish to taste the legendary Chaos Body origin."

Some Forbidden Zone Supremes did not care about Chen Zhao's actions. In their eyes, when his Late Years came,

this arrogant being who called himself the Human Emperor, no matter how overbearing he was, would have to face two choices.

Dao Transformation or Self-Severance.

In the past, they too had been full of high spirits, seeking to forge a path to immortality.

Only after exhausting every method did they understand that becoming immortal was nothing more than a delusion.

Only by waiting for the Path to Immortality to open did a sliver of hope remain.

Thus, for the sake of immortality, they chose Self-Severance and waited for the Path to Immortality to open.

They awaited the choice this Human Emperor would make in his Late Years.

Above the Nine Heavens, the terrifying Chaos Great Dao suppressed everything. Anyone wishing to prove the Dao in this era would have to break Chen Zhao's Great Dao Suppression.

Even without Merging with Heavenly Heart, it brought Chen Zhao no disadvantage whatsoever.

To Chen Zhao, Heavenly Heart was merely the union of the Myriad Daos and a Dao Prover's Great Dao.

As a Chaos Body, he was naturally close to the Myriad Daos. Even without the Heavenly Heart Imprint, it did not hinder his comprehension of the Myriad Daos.

Standing at the Cosmic Frontier, after establishing the title Human Emperor, Chen Zhao discovered immense fortune surging toward him from all directions.

At that moment, the phantom of an ancient bronze gate emerged above Chen Zhao's head.

This ancient gate seemed to have come from the era of World Creation. Its ancient and majestic aura made people unable to resist falling to their knees in worship.

Even as a mere phantom, it was enough to leave people shaken.

Even though Chen Zhao had become emperor with the Chaos Body, he still could not see the Bronze Gate clearly. It was like a mass of mist.

After the Bronze Gate appeared, all the fortune that had been converging upon him from every direction was absorbed, used to suppress himself.

"I wonder what origin this Bronze Gate has." Chen Zhao felt the gate's power and sighed inwardly.

The rank of the Covering the Sky world was extremely high. This Golden Finger could allow him to break the loop of the Red-Haired Monster and the Three Heavenly Emperors, so its rank was clearly extraordinary.

He had been born as a Chaos Body. Such heaven-defying luck was likely related to the Bronze Gate.

After all, the Chaos Body was simply too heaven-defying, a physique guaranteed to prove the Dao.

Furthermore, due to the Bronze Gate's concealment, no one had discovered that he was a Chaos Body until before he proved the Dao.

After all, the Chaos Body was far too coveted, especially when the Supremes of the Netherworld had always wanted to obtain one.

Fortunately, despite the danger, he had successfully proven the Dao.

Once a Chaos Body proved the Dao, it could possess Heavenly Emperor-level combat power in its First Life.

A so-called Heavenly Emperor was not a realm, but merely Chen Zhao's classification for combat power within the Supreme realm.

If an ordinary Supreme could live a Second Life, his combat power would be slightly stronger than that of a Great Emperor in his First Life.

Once he lived a Third Life, his combat power would undergo a qualitative transformation. At that stage, his strength would greatly increase, far surpassing that of ordinary Ancient Emperors.

Chen Zhao also called Supremes at this stage Supremes with Heavenly Emperor-level combat power.

The Undying Heavenly Emperor of the Ancient Era, as well as Emperor Lord, Nether Lord, Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord, and others from the Mythological Era, all possessed Heavenly Emperor-level combat power.

Since Ancient Times, throughout the history of Covering the Sky, those who possessed Heavenly Emperor-level combat power were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
