Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo stood below, their expressions equally solemn.
The Titled Douluo that they pursued their entire lives might only be at the level of the " Dao Palace Secret Realm " or even the " Four Extremes Secret Realm " in the other party's system?
The opponent, at the level corresponding to Titled Douluo, might possess a lifespan of thousands of years, eternal youth, and immense supernatural powers...
"We... what kind of Titled Douluo are we..."
The Gui Mei voice was extremely dry, all traces of its former cold arrogance gone.
Yue Guan was utterly devastated. He was obsessed with his appearance and painstakingly maintained it, but in the face of the other party's reality that "cultivation can preserve youth and even reverse aging," he appeared so ridiculous and pathetic.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi had already retrieved the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda from his hands. He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the Heavenly Screen, speechless for Jiujiu.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong stood behind him, their expressions equally solemn.
" Fengzhi..."
Chen Xin spoke slowly, his voice low and deep, "If this cultivation system is true... the current power structure of our Douluo Continent will be completely overturned."
Ning Fengzhi nodded heavily. "It's more than just a complete upheaval."
" Martial Soul, Soul Ring, Soul Bone, Soul Master levels... everything we rely on for survival and are proud of may become... meaningless" in the face of a more complete, more powerful, and more direct system that points to the Great Dao.
He was thinking about the future of the sect.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is a top-tier support Martial Soul, but it also has significant limitations.
If one could switch to cultivating the Shrouding Method, would it mean that all disciples of the sect could break through their limitations, gain more comprehensive power, and perhaps even... solve the age-old problem of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's inability for Soul Master to break through to the Soul Saint realm?
However, every blessing has its hidden danger.
Bone Douluo Gu Rong said hoarsely, "Such a heaven-defying system will inevitably attract countless bloodshed."
"If we can truly reach it, will my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect be reborn from the ashes, or... be reduced to ashes?"
Ning Fengzhi a deep breath. "In any case, this is no longer just a matter for my family and clan."
"Keep a close eye on the situation, spare no expense, and gather all relevant information. If an opportunity truly arises... our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must not fall behind!"
Meanwhile, in the Shrouding the Heavens World...
"Then... then may I ask Immortal Liu?" Ye Fan, digesting this massive amount of information, asked the most crucial question, the one that everyone most wanted to know.
"The Heavenly Emperor you mentioned before, and the Great Emperor who came from the Ji Family... what realm were they at?"
Upon hearing the words " Heavenly Emperor " and " Great Emperor," all the cultivators on the flying boat, including the one surnamed Liu, instantly became extremely solemn and reverent, even displaying a kind of pilgrimage-like piety.
The cultivator surnamed Liu took a deep breath, looked up at the sky as if gazing upon a supreme being, and slowly said:
" Your Great Emperor..."
His voice was filled with immense awe and longing.
"That is the ultimate pinnacle of cultivation, a truly supreme existence, towering above the Immortal Platform, the embodiment of the 'Dao,' the representative of 'Heaven,' and an invincible force that suppresses an entire era!"
" The Great Emperor is the source of all paths and the origin of all laws. His words are law, and the universe is created and destroyed in a single thought."
"With a flick of the finger, galaxies turn to ash; with a glance, one can sever the span of eternity. That is the ultimate dream that we cultivators can only aspire to but never attain."
Ye Fan and Pang Bo listened with rapt attention, simultaneously catching a single word:
"Suppressing an era?"
"Good."
Beside him stood an old cultivator with a stern face, his tone filled with emotion, "The reason why the Great Emperor is supreme is not only because of his invincible power, but also because of his uniqueness."
"There can only be one Great Emperor in Lifetime!"
"One emperor for one Lifetime?"
Ye Fan was taken aback; this was the first time he had ever heard of such a claim.
"Yes, one Great Emperor for one Lifetime!"
The cultivator surnamed Liu affirmed with absolute certainty, his eyes revealing boundless awe and longing, "This is the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, the rule of the Great Dao!"
" The Great Emperor attained enlightenment, merging his body with the Dao, and suppressed all Daoist practices of his time."
"As long as the Great Emperor is alive, his Dao will encompass the entire universe and cover all other Daos."
"Before him, no matter how extraordinary your talent or how peerless your beauty, no matter if you possess an unparalleled divine physique or Innate Dao Embryo, you will never be able to become an emperor!"
"Because all 'Dao' are under the Great Emperor's 'Dao,' and are suppressed by him."
"If the Great Emperor does not die, all paths will perish, and no one will ever be able to claim the title of Emperor again!"
"Boom--!!!"
These words were more shocking than any previous description of the cultivation system, like Jinglei from the heavens, striking the depths of the soul of every living being on the Douluo Continent!
There can only be one Great Emperor in Lifetime!
As long as the Great Emperor lives, he will suppress all paths, and no one in the world can become Emperor!
No matter how outstanding your talent or how amazing your abilities, as long as the Great Emperor is alive, you will always be subordinate to Great Emperor!
How domineering! How unique! How absolutely... absolute!
People in the Douluo Continent already knew that Lin Hao was very strong, that he was the Heavenly Emperor and ruled over all the heavens, but "strong" was a vague concept.
At this moment, the rule of "one supreme being for one Lifetime " interprets what "supreme" means in the coldest and most absolute way!
In the Douluo Continent, although Titled Douluo are rare, there can be dozens in the same era.
Although Limit Douluo are extremely rare, there have been occasional eras in history where they coexisted.
Although gods are legendary and ethereal, there is no such thing as a god being alive, which means that others cannot become gods.
But here, the existence of the Great Emperor is itself an insurmountable barrier, isolating all the geniuses of the same era from the highest path!
He is unique, supreme, the oppressive sky above, and the sheer cliff blocking the way ahead!
If he doesn't die, no one else will ever have a chance to rise to prominence!
Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy.
"First, in Lifetime... there can only be one Great Emperor?"
Oscar stammered, nearly dropping the Recovery Sausage in his hand, "As long as that Great Emperor lives, no one else... no matter how talented, will ever be able to reach that level?"
Ma Hongjun swallowed hard, his usual playful smile vanishing completely. He subconsciously glanced at his still- Perfect World physique, which he had somewhat controlled, and his voice was dry:
"Doesn't that mean... even in that world, if you're unlucky enough to be born in the same era as a Great Emperor, no matter how talented you are, you have to hold back? Hold back until... he dies?"
Flender shook his head. "It's not just about 'holding it in'; it means that in that era, the fate of all living beings was under the will of that One."
"His path is Heaven itself. No one can defy Heaven."
Tang San stood there, his heart equally unsettled.
Mysterious Heaven Skill, Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapon, Insights from Two Lifetimes...
At this moment, before the absolute rules represented by the word " Great Emperor," everything seems so pale and insignificant.
He had thought that was the road to the summit.
But now, what is revealed in the Heavenly Screen is another system that is completely unfamiliar to him, yet seems even more vast and profound.
Within this system, the Tang Sect Secret Arts that he was so proud of, the path of the Soul Master he had strived for, and even the divine inheritance he had vaguely grasped, all seemed to have become... the struggle of a frog at the bottom of a well?
No, perhaps it didn't even qualify as a struggle.
Titled Douluo are just starting-level " Dao Palace " or " Four Extremes " cultivators over there? What does my current level mean there?
And what does the deity correspond to? Is it " Immortal Platform "? Or... is it even less Immortal Platform?
