"Is this what an immortal can do? It's unimaginable!"
"I... I'm about to break through... ah... oh... mm... here it comes! Hahaha, I've finally broken through to the Venerable realm!"
"I broke through too! Thank you, Ancestor! Ancestor is forever a god!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Outside the hall, the sounds of breakthroughs rang out one after another. The clansmen with comparatively lower cultivation were the first to break through.
Watching the clansmen cheer and break through in succession, Su Ting and the others felt their eyes grow slightly moist.
Rather than saying it was because of Su Chen's Spirit-Gathering Array, it was more accurate to say that the Su Clan had held them back.
These people should have broken through to this realm long ago. The only reason they had broken through just now was a lack of resources!
At least fifty percent of the Su Imperial Clan's resources went into the Nine Heavens Devil-Suppressing Mystic Firmament Grand Array to keep it running and maintain its power to suppress the Devil Race.
They were all members of an imperial clan, with imperial blood flowing in their veins. Otherwise, how could even Wang Teng, who did not belong to an imperial clan, have reached the Ninth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm at his age?
The Su Imperial Clan's great elder was still at that same realm despite being two thousand years older than Wang Teng, which showed just how things stood.
At that moment, the Su clansmen outside who had already broken through felt no discomfort whatsoever.
It felt as natural as water flowing into a channel.
Almost all of them had entered the Realm Sea and fought the Devil Race with their own hands. Their foundations had unquestionably been laid solidly.
Now, the energy Su Chen had summoned gave them just the final push they needed, completely filling the "riverbeds" they had carved out within themselves!
They could feel that the grade of the heaven and earth energy now filling the entire Su Imperial Clan was more than one level higher than what they had absorbed before.
Even the One Origin Continent at the center of the Black-Yellow Realm, the territory of the Liu Imperial Clan, probably did not have heaven and earth energy of this grade.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Riiip!"
"Crackle!"
At the same time, bolts of tribulation lightning suddenly coiled around the end of the towering pillar connected to the heavens, seemingly intent on smashing it apart!
Seeing this, Su Chen raised his right hand and tapped lightly in the air. A voice that only the two of them could hear reached the rift above the heavens. "I'm only borrowing a little energy from you, aren't I? How stingy!"
Deep within the rift, a majestic heavenly presence slowly gathered and took the form of a fair, tender three-year-old child.
At that moment, "he" was rubbing his smooth forehead, where a lump the size of an egg had risen. His face was full of grievance. "Human, don't go too far! This is all my original power as the Heavenly Dao!"
This human had inexplicably appeared in his territory a few days ago.
To him, a person of unknown identity like this was someone who needed to be eliminated.
That was an instinct engraved in the very genes of his origin!
Unexpectedly, the moment he showed himself, a single shout from this person had nearly scattered his origin, frightening him into hiding at once.
And now, to top it off, the human had come to his very lair to rob him. A man might endure it, but the "Heavenly Dao" could not!
Though he was a newly born Heavenly Dao, a baby Heavenly Dao was still a Heavenly Dao!
Su Chen's voice grew stern. "Stop bluffing. Isn't this just your 'bathwater'? Did you really think I didn't know? If you keep talking nonsense, I won't mind actually draining your original power!"
The three-year-old child planted his hands on his hips and said indignantly, "You... forget it. This baby 'little person' won't hold a grown-up's faults against him. Those mortals are getting a bargain!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished again. He truly was afraid this human would flick him on the head again!
Su Chen smiled at the sight.
Sensing that the energy within the Su Clan had reached a level that could almost make people "burst," he finally stopped, severing the "straw" between the grand array and the heavens!
"Well then, it's your turn next!"
Su Chen turned his gaze to Su Ting and the others.
The heaven and earth energy that had surged within the clan was useful to those at lower realms, but it was already of little use to Great Emperor experts like them.
They had long since stood at the pinnacle of this world.
And the things they truly lacked happened to be absent from the Black-Yellow Realm.
But Su Chen had his own way to help them improve.
As everyone watched, Su Chen formed several energy sources in his hands and flicked them toward Su Ting and the others.
Compared with other Great Emperors, Su Ting and the others each had their own distinctive traits.
Su Ting, for example, possessed the Purple Firmament Thunder Physique and could use Purple Firmament Divine Thunder from birth. He had tremendous explosive power, especially against the Devil Race.
That was also the main reason he could fight the Devil Emperor of All Living Beings!
Su Yun had the Eye of Illusion Breaking!
Su Hao had been born with the Supreme Physique and was the one most likely to become an immortal.
Su Yi had been born with Double Pupils!
Su Shuang'er had the Mystic Ice Physique and wielded boundless ice power!
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
The moment the energy sources entered their bodies, the four of them sensed a tremendous change within.
Seeing this, Su Chen waved his hand, and they flew straight out of the hall, appearing outside the Su Clan's grand array!
First was Su Ting. Tens of thousands of thunder patterns suddenly swirled around him, each one moving like a miniature thunder dragon. Purple lightning gathered and formed a tangible immortal robe of thunder over his body.
Deep in his pupils, two thunderclouds seemed to swirl.
In the past, he had needed to form hand seals and build up power to summon divine thunder. Now, he felt he could unleash ten thousand bolts of divine thunder with a single thought.
A spear forged from seven-colored heavenly thunder slowly took shape in his hand!
As for Su Hao, his inborn Supreme Physique had transformed into the Supreme Immortal Physique.
Behind him, the phantom of an immortal deity several zhang taller than himself took shape. Lines of Heavenly Dao inscriptions cascaded down its indistinct face.
The pressure emanating from the phantom made people unable to resist the urge to fall to their knees and worship it!
When Su Yi opened his eyes, everyone except Su Chen instinctively avoided his gaze.
Where his "double pupils had overlapped" before, each eye now seemed to contain a galaxy, as though he could see "the past and the future."
The third, vertical eye between Su Yun's brows was now fully open, and his spiritual power far surpassed what it had been before.
When his vertical eye shone upon Su Chen, he suddenly froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
Last was Su Shuang'er. An ice lotus platform took shape beneath her.
Her Mystic Ice Physique had evolved into the Mystic Ice Immortal Physique. With a single thought, she seemed capable of freezing even space itself.
At her current Minor Perfection Peak Emperor Realm, she was even confident she could fight a true Great Perfection Peak Emperor Realm expert without being defeated!
"Everyone! The Liu Imperial Clan managed to become the foremost imperial clan, so where is our Su Imperial Clan any weaker? What they can do, we can do too!"
"Next, I have only two things to say!"
Su Chen slowly sat up straight, his expression more serious than ever. "The ten thousand laws of the Heavenly Dao all lie within me!"
"Let him be as strong as he will; a gentle breeze brushes the mountain ridge!"
When his words fell, his voice rang out like a great bell, washing over the minds of every member of the Su Imperial Clan.
Without realizing it, they seemed to grasp those faint traces of Dao resonance and become one with them.
At that moment, the impurities that had obstructed their cultivation in the past were all washed clean. Even the ancestral cultivation methods and martial techniques that had once been as obscure and incomprehensible as heavenly scriptures seemed to fall into order and become clear at the same time.
"The Emperor Realm? So this is the Emperor Realm?"
This time, the first to speak were Su Ya and the many other Quasi-Emperors. They had been stuck at this level for a long time.
But now, the barrier that had obstructed them for so long had vanished, and they could feel their own paths to becoming emperors!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Su Ya, First Heaven of the Great Emperor Realm!
Su Hong, First Heaven of the Great Emperor Realm!
Su Nian, First Heaven of the Great Emperor Realm!
Su Ya and the other Quasi-Emperors were not the only ones undergoing changes. Aside from Su Ting and the other three, the ten remaining Great Emperors also began to break through one after another.
Outside the hall, the clansmen who had already advanced once broke through again.
Venerable, Saint King, Saint Emperor, Saint Venerable...
