Who would inherit One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones

The Heavenly Emperor turned his gaze to Mandala beside Mu Chen.

"Mandala, it is wonderful to see you safe and sound."

Mandala stared blankly at the Heavenly Emperor, her eyes suddenly reddening. Clearly, her emotions had surged to their peak. She walked forward one step at a time, reached out her little hand, and took his.

The Heavenly Emperor gently patted her head, just as he had once tenderly stroked that flower on the verge of withering.

The Heavenly Emperor smiled faintly at Mandala, then looked at Mu Chen, who held the Heavenly Emperor Sword. After studying him carefully from head to toe, he said, "Back then, none of the many dazzling talents in my Ancient Heavenly Palace managed to cultivate the Immortal Golden Body. To think I would encounter it today. Heaven has not forsaken me."

"I was fortunate enough to obtain what you left behind and cultivate the Immortal Golden Body. I would never dare forget this great kindness!" Mu Chen bowed solemnly to the Heavenly Emperor. Without the cultivation method the Heavenly Emperor had left behind, he would have had no path forward, and who knew how much time he would have wasted on it.

The Heavenly Emperor smiled and nodded, accepting Mu Chen's bow. Then he extended his hand and said with a smile, "Young friend, lend me the Heavenly Emperor Sword."

Mu Chen hurriedly offered the Heavenly Emperor Sword with both hands.

The Heavenly Emperor took the Heavenly Emperor Sword and formed a seal with one hand. His impassive gaze then turned toward the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor within the seal.

As though sensing the threat of annihilation, the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor began roaring madly, panic and terror finally showing. Yet the Heavenly Emperor paid him no heed. The Heavenly Emperor Sword shot violently from his hand, transforming into hundreds of millions of stars, each containing utterly terrifying power.

The Heavenly Emperor now existed only as a remnant spiritual projection. His own strength was naturally insufficient to destroy the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor, so he could only draw upon the power of the Heavenly Emperor Sword.

Hiss! Hiss!

Hundreds of millions of stars pierced the azure light, tearing apart the demonic face sealed within it in an instant. A faint, incomparably agonized roar resounded throughout heaven and earth.

"Do not celebrate yet! Last time, our Outer Realm Evil Clan never even used its full strength. When we come storming back, it will be the end of your Great Thousand World!"

The roar echoed between heaven and earth. Within the seal, every trace of life in the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor was utterly extinguished. He was forcibly reduced to nothingness and dissipated into the world.

Having dealt with the Demon Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor raised his head and smiled faintly at the many supreme experts. "Today's affairs have all come to an end. Please return whence you came."

As his words fell, space rippled throughout the surroundings, forming spatial passages directly beside the many experts.

The supreme experts exchanged glances. They had remained here because they still coveted the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance and One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones. But now that the Heavenly Emperor had spoken, they had no choice but to leave. Besides, with the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor here, such treasures would never fall to them anyway. They could only sigh regretfully, turn, and step into the spatial passages, swiftly disappearing.

With their departure, the Heavenly Emperor Mausoleum immediately grew quiet.

Only Futu Yijing, his battle armor in tatters, Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, Mu Chen, and the others remained in the Heavenly Emperor Mausoleum.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Emperor turned his gaze toward Xiao Yan and Lin Dong and smiled faintly. "Might the two of you have some interest in my One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones?"

Futu Yijing's eyes lit up when he heard the name One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.

He had come from the Futuo Continent to the Tianluo Continent precisely for this divine ability!

At the Heavenly Emperor's question, both men smiled and said, "Such an opportunity should be left to the one destined for it."

The Heavenly Emperor nodded with a smile, clearly unsurprised. The two before him were extraordinary figures. Even at his peak, he might not have been able to defeat them, so presumably they would not covet his One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones. Moreover, his earlier words had merely been a little test. In his eyes, someone here was clearly better suited than Xiao Yan and Lin Dong to inherit it.

The Heavenly Emperor's gaze shifted from the two men to Futu Yijing in the distance, his eyes filled with profound admiration.

Xiao Yan and Lin Dong noticed this as well. They exchanged a glance and both smiled faintly.

When the Demon Emperor appeared, this consciousness of the Heavenly Emperor had also awakened. But the Demon Emperor's power had been too great then, preventing him from manifesting. He could only watch as the younger generation of the Great Thousand World was slaughtered by the Demon Emperor.

Yet he had also discovered Futu Yijing, a young man who had left him astonished.

An Earthly Sovereign had stood toe-to-toe with a Demon Emperor and forcibly protected those weaker than himself, even when he could barely ensure his own survival.

"And you?" the Heavenly Emperor asked, looking gently at Futu Yijing.

"I came precisely for this," Futu Yijing replied, making no attempt to conceal his desire for this divine ability.

"Haha, good. You certainly are an honest youngster." The Heavenly Emperor smiled and nodded, clearly quite pleased with Futu Yijing's answer.

"I would actually like to give you the Heavenly Emperor Sword as well. Unfortunately, you wield a spear."

Futu Yijing had no desire for the Heavenly Emperor Sword. Something that did not suit him would be useless even if he took it.

Besides, the spear his ancestor had left him was of a grade comparable to the Heavenly Emperor Sword.

"The Demon Emperor has been eliminated. We shall linger no longer," Xiao Yan and Lin Dong said.

The Heavenly Emperor cupped his hands toward them. "The Outer Realm Evil Clan's wicked ambitions remain undying. They seek to destroy our Great Thousand World. In the days ahead, I hope you will both remain vigilant."

The Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor nodded solemnly. The Outer Realm Evil Clan was now their great enemy as well, so they would naturally stay alert at all times to guard against its return.

Then the two departed with their respective daughters.

"With figures such as these protecting the Great Thousand World, even if that Outer Realm clan comes storming back, we should still be able to put up a fight," the Heavenly Emperor said with a sigh.

Then he turned to Futu Yijing and said, "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones must be passed down through a true spirit infusion. This way, you will obtain not only the cultivation method, but also much of my cultivation experience. Only then can you master it in the shortest possible time."

Futu Yijing nodded, gratitude in his eyes.

"Once you have mastered One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, the bodies you create will possess the same strength as your original body. They will also retain the potential to continue cultivating and evolving."

"You have now touched the Heavenly Sovereign realm, with one foot already across its threshold. Crossing this hurdle will not be difficult for you. Since you are now my successor, I will naturally leave the greatest opportunity to you. The Heavenly Emperor Sword contains power from my lifetime. I can use it as a conduit to perform the infusion, while drawing upon its power to help you break through and enter the Heavenly Sovereign realm."

"When you then cultivate One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, our Great Thousand World will gain three more Heavenly Sovereigns."

Even after his death, the Heavenly Emperor still held the Great Thousand World in his heart.

Futu Yijing's combat prowess was formidable. Once he broke through to Heavenly Sovereign and cultivated One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, he would provide considerable fighting strength in the Great Thousand World's future war against the Outer Realm Evil Clan.

This was what the Heavenly Emperor wished to see.
