An unrivaled Emperor Clan backing revealed, an ultimate imperial weapon slays a Quasi-Emperor with one strike!

The golden pillar of light slowly dissipated.

Su Linxian hovered in midair and slowly opened his eyes.

Countless universes and stars seemed to revolve within them.

A faint golden sheen glimmered beneath his skin.

His white robes were embroidered with pale golden cloud patterns, their lines as fine as hair. Yet beneath the dim daylight, a dark golden luster flowed through them, as though every thread were a sleeping law of the imperial Dao, breathing.

His robes stirred without wind, their gently billowing hems tracing faint paths of stars.

"Whew—"

Su Linxian exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He slowly clenched his fists.

He felt the vast power surging within him, boundless as a sea of stars.

He lowered his head to look at his hands, bathed in golden imperial light.

Then he raised his head to look at the forbidden zone that had nearly claimed his life moments ago.

Now, the aura of those dead remains could no longer corrode his Emperor Body in the slightest!

Su Linxian's eyes brightened as he murmured softly.

"An Emperor!"

"I'm finally an Emperor."

Hum!

Emperor Power surged and roared, sweeping away every trace of chaotic deathly energy within ten thousand zhang.

Su Linxian's Emperor Eyes flickered as something suddenly occurred to him.

"Right, System."

"What was that unrivaled backing you mentioned?"

[Ding.]

[Reporting to Master.]

[You are the lost scion of the Su Family, an Emperor Clan of the heavens and cosmos.]

[Su Qi, the current God Emperor of the Su Family, is your biological father!]

[His cultivation has reached the peak of the God Emperor Realm, with Emperors as numerous as clouds and Quasi-Emperors as plentiful as rain under his command!]

[Your background can be called the greatest in all the heavens and myriad worlds!]

An Emperor Clan backing!?

Su Linxian's pupils contracted.

The cultivation realms of the heavens:

Chenwei Realm, Tongxuan Realm, Wulou Realm, Hunhai Realm, Xuanshu Realm, Baoyi Realm, Dengxian Realm, Zhaoxu Realm, Fengwang Realm, Jijie Realm, Saint Realm, Hunyuan Realm, Supreme Realm, Quasi-Emperor Realm, Emperor Realm, God Emperor Realm.

Members of Emperor Clans resided beyond the Ziwei Domain, dwelling within the various highest-tier Dao Domains!

Their foundations were immense. They were supreme existences throughout the heavens and cosmos, beings whom the inhabitants of mid-tier Dao Domains like the Ziwei Domain could not even look up to, let alone face directly!

"An Emperor Clan?"

"My father is a God Emperor?"

Su Linxian drew a deep breath, a cold smile curling his lips as he spoke.

"Good."

"It seems all those hundred-odd years of suffering weren't for nothing."

Su Linxian turned around.

His gaze pierced the endless chaos, precisely locking onto the auras outside the forbidden zone that had yet to leave.

"Thirteen years!"

"You chased this Emperor for thirteen whole years..."

He took a step forward.

"So now..."

"It's time to settle the score!"

Golden light flashed.

Su Linxian's figure vanished instantly from the depths of the forbidden zone.

The next instant.

Beyond the Ziwei Domain, at the edge of the Emperor Burial Star Abyss.

A dozen or so Quasi-Emperors stood in a huddle, their faces livid as they blamed one another.

"This is all your fault! If you hadn't pressed him so hard, why would that little bastard have jumped in?!"

"Bullshit! You were clearly the first to attack!"

"If you hadn't moved, why would he have leaped over the wall like a cornered dog?!"

"Now look! The Emperor Weapon is gone, and we've gained nothing!"

One Quasi-Emperor wore an ugly expression, gloom weighing on his heart as he spoke.

"Ah... he was only a lowborn wretch without any backing. If he died, so be it. It's just a pity about that Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon..."

"That was a supreme treasure from the ancient immortal era..."

"Hmph!" Ancestor Tai'a flicked his sleeve, his face dark.

"This matter ends here. The Emperor Weapon has fallen into the forbidden zone. None of us can get it!"

"It's been thirteen years. If you wish to wait here, go ahead. This old man won't keep you company!"

Quasi-Emperor Chiyang refused to accept it. "Are we really just going to let this go?"

"What else? Do you dare go in?"

Quasi-Emperor Chiyang was left speechless.

Just then.

A voice drifted from behind them, carrying a hint of cold mockery.

"There's no need to wait."

"Since you're all looking for me..."

"I'm back now."

Boom!

Upon hearing that voice, every Quasi-Emperor present suddenly brightened and whipped around.

There, in the void.

Su Linxian stood proud and aloof, all his wounds gone, his expression indifferent.

His aura was utterly unremarkable, like that of a mortal.

"Su Linxian!?"

Ancestor Tai'a's pupils sharply contracted.

"You're not dead?!"

Quasi-Emperor Chiyang was startled at first, but then wild delight blazed in his eyes.

"Hahaha! Good, good!"

"The Emperor Weapon must still be on him!"

"To think you actually made it out alive, you little bastard! Even the Heavenly Dao is helping us!"

Su Linxian's Emperor Eyes were icy as he raised one hand.

Hum.

A precious sword wreathed in imperial resonance, comparable to a divine weapon, appeared in his hand.

Its blade was pitch-black as an abyss, densely engraved with primordial patterns that flowed like the orbits of stars. Every three inches, a faint silver point flickered in and out, a stretch of void and chaos.

Its surface was smooth as a mirror, devouring every ray of light that fell upon it, its sharpness terrifying to behold!

Gold and silver adorned either side of its guard, like the sun and moon shining together.

The sword was named Diya!

An Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon!

At that moment, every mighty Quasi-Emperor present breathed faster, greed filling their eyes.

"An Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon!?"

"Little bastard, have you finally accepted reality?"

Su Linxian gripped the sword in his right hand. In an instant, an aura of annihilation erupted like a river bursting its banks!

Even the void was shattered by that Sword Qi!

"You want it?"

"Come take it yourselves."

"Hahahaha!" Quasi-Emperor Chiyang roared with laughter.

"Everyone! I'll gladly take this Emperor Weapon first!"

He stepped forward, his oppressive might erupting. A massive hand formed from laws blotted out the sky and sun as it viciously grabbed at Su Linxian!

Immortal Capture!

Those enormous arms closed around him, carrying dense, surging Quasi-Emperor power!

The other Quasi-Emperors' expressions changed at the sight, and they all charged forward in frantic haste!

"Chiyang?!"

"That bastard wants the treasure all to himself! Attack! Don't let him succeed!"

As though everything were within his grasp.

Su Linxian's expression remained calm.

He stood where he was without moving.

He looked at the several Quasi-Emperors charging in to kill him.

Su Linxian slowly raised Diya.

Then gently swung it down.

Time and space stood still.

A streak of sword light, black as an abyss, swept out at the utmost speed!

Rumble—

The massive hand of laws, powerful enough to crush stars, crumbled inch by inch.

Immediately afterward.

The wild laughter on Quasi-Emperor Chiyang's face froze.

Before he could even comprehend what had happened.

A vertical line of blood appeared down his body.

Thud!

Quasi-Emperor Chiyang shuddered, staring at that bloody line in disbelief.

"This..."

"How is this possible?!"

The imperial sword's power swiftly extinguished all his vitality!

Quasi-Emperor Chiyang split in two, golden blood raining across the void!

His soul and flesh alike turned to ash and scattered with a thunderous burst!

[Ding! Congratulations, Master, on killing Quasi-Emperor Chiyang. You have gained 80,000 Villain Points!]

One strike!

Just one strike!

A mighty expert at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm had been erased from existence, leaving nothing behind.

At that moment.

Deathly silence engulfed the scene.

"Chiyang... is dead?"

Every Quasi-Emperor present felt as though lightning had struck him!

They froze where they stood, their expressions those of men who had seen a ghost, their minds reeling!

Ancestor Tai'a staggered back three steps, his face pale as paper, his entire body trembling.

"You... you... what cultivation realm are you in?!"

A glint of gold flashed through Su Linxian's Emperor Eyes.

The boundless might of an Emperor within him erupted without the slightest restraint!

Boom!!!

The myriad Daos resonated as one!
