Within the Future Dharma Network, news of the Heavenly Emperor's Edict spread rapidly. Living beings across the universe went wild, constantly posting questions and replies.
In just a few dozen breaths, countless beings had roughly deduced why the Heavenly Emperor had sent the First Divine General to clear the area.
The Heavenly Emperor wanted to forge a weapon!
Everyone knew that the Heavenly Emperor cared little for empty fame. He slaughtered Supremes like dogs and had no need to clear out such a vast starfield.
If he did this now, it was certainly not to deal with enemies, but to face a Heavenly Tribulation.
So the question was—
What could bring about a Heavenly Tribulation?
A breakthrough—
The Heavenly Emperor was still in his prime and had attained the Dao less than two thousand years ago. Though his combat strength was world-shaking, he was likely still far from becoming immortal.
Other than that, the greatest possibility was that the Heavenly Emperor intended to forge a weapon, refining the Primal Unity Emperor Cauldron into a true immortal artifact.
After all, one of the Heavenly Emperor's most famous feats was elevating his own Dao Proving Weapon into an Extreme Emperor Weapon while still a Quasi-Emperor.
Now that he stood at the Human Dao Summit, refining an immortal artifact was hardly anything surprising in the eyes of the world.
Time surged on like a river. Soon, at the Cosmic Frontier, the countless beings watching the area saw someone suddenly appear.
There were no anomalies whatsoever, yet everyone recognized him at once:
Fang · Heavenly Emperor · Supreme Slaughter Machine · True Immortal Descended to the Mortal World · Fame Overshadowing Emperor Venerable · Blade-Slaying Emperor · Yang.
To most living beings of this era, the Heavenly Emperor was already a figure of legend.
