Within the Gods and Demons Burial Ground, the Eastern Emperor, who had been comprehending the Dao, withdrew his stance.
His aura was as unfathomable as an abyss, terrifying beyond compare. Showing not the slightest weakness, he tore straight through the void and charged out with overwhelming force and dominance.
"Aaah..."
At that moment.
He threw back his head and roared.
Golden blood and qi surged into the heavens, engulfing the entire star river.
He no longer suppressed his aura, releasing it in full and freely displaying the fruits of his years of comprehending the Dao.
Every inch of his body blazed brilliantly, as though countless great suns had converged within him. Even his hair had turned gold, dazzling to behold.
The five great secret realms shone, ancient sutra chants ringing endlessly. His immensely powerful aura made even the old God change expression, his heart pounding with alarm.
For the Eastern Emperor had already entered the Great Saint Realm; he simply had yet to undergo his tribulation.
With the divine forbidden domain and forbidden domain augmenting him, he truly was no weaker than the old God.
"Damn it, not only does he stand within the forbidden domain... he's already entered the Great Saint Realm?" God's expression was exceedingly grim, filled with wariness.
"A mere Great Saint, not even a Quasi-Emperor, yet you dare call yourself a god?"
In the starry sky.
The Eastern Emperor's gaze was calm as he looked down upon God before him. "You merely relied on external power to forcibly increase your strength... if this is the limit of your abilities, I'll send you on your way!"
He felt neither joy nor sorrow, much less triumph or arrogance.
There was only the confidence and composure to swallow the Eight Wastelands with his spirit, reign supreme, and stand invincible.
