Chapter 792 571: Life and Death, He Is the Human Emperor (2)

"No wonder he's been constantly battling the Demon Fiends; it turns out he's the Human Emperor of our Human Race."

"The Human Emperor—our Human Race finally has a Human Emperor again."

"The Human Emperor has always been fighting for us. Now that the breakthrough is imminent, I must lend him my strength."

"The beasts of the Zhou Family actually want to kill the Human Emperor. They are traitors to the Human Race. I implore the Demon Hunter Organization to exterminate the Zhou Family."

...

Countless people suddenly realized, shocked and excited; it turned out to be the Human Emperor, no wonder he was so dazzling. Those who had originally blamed Wei Fan as the culprit of the recent Human-Demon War were now filled with guilt.

Wei Fan was not causing trouble; he had already taken on the responsibility of the Human Emperor.

A terrible earthquake shook the Eastern Domain, and everywhere there were cries for the Human Emperor.

"Is this news true or false?"

In the Hidden Merit Hall of the Demon Hunter Organization, Sword Floating Life stood up in shock, his heart surging. In this world, if the Human Race had a Human Emperor, there was a great possibility of sweeping away the demons and creating eternal peace.

He urgently asked Ling Xiaoyu, who came to tell him that the truth was likely confirmed.

Ling Xiaoyu smiled wryly: "Indeed, it's true. When the news spread, I found out it was Lu Shun'an of the Wanxiang Commerce Association secretly spreading it. This man is a friend of Wei Fan, and I also found out that Lu Shun'an once custom-made a set of Human Emperor Divine Armor at the Xuanyuan Family.

I secretly searched for the Primordial Spirit of Lu Shun'an and discovered Wei Fan personally told Lu Shun'an about his Human Emperor's Position. It was also Wei Fan who asked him to spread the news, intending to use the power of the people to impact the Emperor Realm.

I secretly asked people to help spread this news before coming to report to you, sir."

"That brat! He has the position of a Human Emperor, why didn't he say so earlier?" Sword Floating Life was somewhat annoyed.

If they had known Wei Fan was the Human Emperor, their way of nurturing him would have been different.

At the very least, they wouldn't have let Wei Fan cultivate the Earth Emperor's Saint Slaying Technique, such a Quasi-Emperor Technique, but would have given him a Human Emperor Technique to cultivate.

"Quickly, contact the Human Emperor and have him return; I must reopen the Human Emperor Hall!"

Ling Xiaoyu shook his head: "Can't contact him; he should be impacting the Emperor Realm!"

"Send messages to the Sub-Palaces across the continents, notify the Xuanyuan Family and the Mu Family to prepare for a great war, and inform the other Great Domains to be ready to support at any time. The Human Emperor's breakthrough—those beasts may try to destroy it at all costs."

Sword Floating Life showed a solemn expression. Wei Fan's astounding talent had already made the Demon Fiends restless, leading to multiple Emperor Level wars. Now with the revelation of his Human Emperor's Position, the Demon Fiends are bound to go insane. It's no surprise if the great war sweeps the Five Great Domains.

"Also, contact the Grand Hall Master and inform him of the Human Emperor's emergence. This battle concerns the survival of our Human Race."

At this, even Ling Xiaoyu's expression turned serious. For Sword Floating Life to speak such words is not mere exaggeration.

...

"The Xuanyuan Family actually thinks the Human Emperor isn't worthy of their daughters, what a joke."

Wei Fan is the current Human Emperor, and the most shocking is the Xuanyuan Family, a Human Emperor Clan, only they know how terrifying the Human Emperor's means are.

"The Human Emperor custom-made a set of Human Emperor Divine Armor at the Xuanyuan Family, yet they didn't notice; they're just a bunch of trash."

Xuanyuan Ting couldn't help but curse; there were already clues, yet no one in the Xuanyuan Family realized it.

"How can a Human Emperor still emerge in such times?"

From deep within the Demon Realm, an incredulous roar echoed. After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there has been no true Human Emperor. The rapid development of human Martial Dao granted the Human Race the strength to contend equally with the Demon Fiends but also suppressed the Human Dao, making it difficult for the Human Race to produce another Human Emperor.

"Wei Fan is actually still a Human Emperor. We have underestimated him." The voice of the Heaven-Shaking Saint Emperor sounded, discussing with other presences.

"The survival of the Demon Race is at stake. Wei Fan must not be allowed to become Emperor. Contact all tribes, launch an all-out war. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, find him before he becomes Emperor and kill him."

The skies over the Demon Realm changed color, and the massive form of the Purple-Beard Dragon Emperor appeared in the heavens, emitting a monstrous killing intent.

...

"Still lacking a bit, but almost there!"

Wei Fan ignored the matters outside. A day prior, he had reached the Wilderness without seeking out old friends for reunions, immediately secluding himself to break into the Emperor Realm.

He arranged for Lu Shun'an to spread the news of his Human Emperor's Position, fully aware of the consequences and impacts it would bring, thus pressing him to become Emperor as swiftly as possible.

At this moment, he is fully assaulting the Emperor Realm. The Scripture of the Three Emperors roared, and the True Skill Mark of Nine-Nine surged forth a terrifying sea of thunder, unifying his Primordial Spirit and flesh to become Emperor together.

In his Sea of Consciousness, the Three Emperors sat discussing Dao, expounding the mysteries of becoming an Emperor, with their grand voices carrying wondrous Dao Yun.

Simultaneously, within the marks of the Nine-Nine True Skill, heavenly tunes echoed in his Heart Spirit, elucidating the evolution and cultivation direction of the next steps of the Nine-Nine True Skill.

Wei Fan entered a peculiar state, listening to both the Three Emperors' discussion of Dao and the heavenly tunes of the Nine-Nine True Skill, feeling no discomfort at all.

The Human Dao resonated, radiant divine light descending into his Sea of Consciousness, assisting him in comprehending the mysteries of the two Heart Methods.

Whispers of tens of thousands of people prayed by his ear, the power of faith coming forth, widening his Heart Spirit to an infinite extent.

Uncertain of how much time passed, Wei Fan awoke from his Dao enlightenment, with all the Emperor Realm's mysteries now clear in his heart.

First is the Nine-Nine True Skill. The Dao symbols on his body were chaotic, seemingly densely imprinted on him, but not actually connected, failing to form an array-like effect.

Therefore, breaking through the Nine-Nine True Skill to the Emperor Realm requires connecting all the Dao runes, truly activating the abilities represented by these Dao runes.

As for the Primordial Spirit's path to breakthrough the Emperor Realm, there are two methods—Severing Dao and Harmonization Dao.

Each path to breakthrough possesses distinct advantages and disadvantages.

Harmonization Dao requires harmonizing one's Dao with the Heaven and Earth Dao, or with the Great Dao pioneered by predecessors, offering a relatively lower difficulty of breakthrough; and once successful, one may immediately inherit the predecessors' Great Dao, gaining most of their Dao Fruits, making future improvements rapid.

For instance, if the Zhou Family had someone become Emperor through Harmonization Dao, they would inherit the Great Dao pioneered by their Ancestral Emperor of the Zhou Family, rapidly reaching the height of their ancestors.

Of course, Harmonization Dao has shortcomings; if the ancestor's achievements are not high, reaching their height makes it very challenging to surpass them, thus enhancing the difficulty of becoming an Emperor.

Of Harmonization Dao, this method of becoming Emperor is the simplest and leads to the lowest future potential, with almost no chance of becoming an Emperor.

A second type of Harmonization Dao involves harmonizing with the Heaven and Earth Dao, such as Sword Saint Li Jianchen. If he becomes Emperor, he will harmonize with the Supreme Sword Dao.

Similar to the previous method, once becoming Emperor, the cultivation pace is rapid, yet likewise, the difficulty of becoming Emperor will increase.

"Those forbidden existences in Cangwu Mountain all chose this path to become Emperors."

Understanding the paths to becoming Emperor, Wei Fan now realized how the taboos in Cangwu Mountain came about. The forbidden ones in Cangwu Mountain all chose to harmonize with the Heaven and Earth Dao when becoming Emperors.

Even if they perished, remnants of their ideas linger within the eternal Heaven and Earth Dao, impossible to destroy or eradicate.

Were Wei Fan to choose this method to become Emperor, he could harmonize with the Great Dao left by the Earth Emperor or choose the exalted Human Dao.

If harmonizing with the Human Dao, he could swiftly cultivate to the peak of the Martial Emperor. With the mighty power of the Supreme Human Dao, he might match a Martial Emperor despite still being in the Martial Emperor stage.

The strength of achieving Emperor through Harmonization Dao mainly depends on which Dao you harmonize with.

The other method to become a Saint—Severing Dao, is much more difficult and perilous, likely ending in death and Dao cessation. Even attaining Emperor, the cultivation difficulty within the Emperor Realm far exceeds that of achieving Emperor through Harmonization Dao.

Of course, these are the drawbacks of achieving Emperor through this method, but it also has benefits.

Severing Dao to become Emperor makes future breakthrough to a Martial Emperor simpler and the potential much greater, equivalent to pioneering a new path between heaven and earth. Those aspired to be Martial Emperors typically choose this method to become Emperor.

A classic example is Qi Daozhen, who chose this method to become Emperor. Thus, after Qi Daozhen's "death," the Wilderness witnessed the rare phenomenon of Dao Collapse.

Indeed, not all who sever Dao to become Emperor have a Dao Collapse after death because the essence of Severing Dao is pioneering a new path between heaven and earth. To sever Dao is not to cleave one's Dao but to sever the chain of order between one's Dao and other Great Daos, elevating one's Dao to become one with the Heaven and Earth Dao.

If a Martial Emperor dies naturally, his Dao can become one with the Heaven and Earth Dao. If killed midway, the Dao collapses, unable to be preserved.
