Chapter 634 - 633: I Am the Great Emperor

Chapter 634: Chapter 633: I Am the Great Emperor

With a single, effortless palm strike, he crushed Supreme Emperor Qianyuan’s head. Once the head was obliterated and the soul extinguished, no level of cultivation mattered. Death was the only outcome.

"Ding! Successfully killed Supreme Emperor Qianyuan. Obtained 8.8 billion Experience Value, 15,000 Madness Value, 10,000 Sin Value, and 5,000 Divine Rune Mastery Proficiency points. Obtained Martial Arts: Wood God Technique, All Trees Return to the Root. Obtained items: Divine Wood Treasure Pearl (Rare), Divine Wood Armor (High-grade Sacred Artifact), Divine Wood Boots (High-grade Sacred Artifact), Detailed Divine Rune Map of the Netherworld Passage."

"Ding! Successfully killed a higher-level opponent. Received an additional 300 million Experience Value, 50,000 Madness Value, 10,000 Sin Value, and one chance at the Super Enhanced Lottery Wheel!"

"Ding! For killing a Guardian, you have been blessed with the Guardian’s power and have obtained the title ’Mortal Realm Guardian’!"

Mortal Realm Guardian: Not restricted by pressure. Can freely travel back and forth through passages and fly at will!

"Ding! Congratulations to Player ’Yi Tianyun’ for successfully breaking through to the third level of the Spirit King Stage!"

"Ding! Congratulations to Player ’Yi Tianyun’ for successfully breaking through to the fourth level of the Spirit King Stage!"

His experience gain was explosive! This was mainly because he had stacked an Eightyfold Experience Card and a Fiftyfold Experience Card, which he had gotten from the Level 61 Gift Pack and activated earlier. Saint King Stage powerhouses were just too rare. ’I originally wanted to save them for later,’ he thought, ’but I figured I might as well use them now.’

The 8.8 billion experience points were truly staggering. One hundred and forty-six times the normal experience was just insane, an absolutely shocking amount. Even killing the ministers before had yielded a significant amount of experience.

It allowed him to break through two levels in one go. The three billion experience points needed to level up seemed trivial under the effects of these powerful Experience Cards. He was now not far from the fifth level of the Spirit King Stage; he only needed a little less than one billion more experience to advance again.

’This leveling speed feels amazing. I almost went up three levels. If only I had gritted my teeth and gone for it...’

He had originally wanted to stack even more Experience Cards, but they were too expensive now. Because he had used them so many times, the price for a single card had soared to hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of points. They were now more expensive than the Eightyfold Experience Card itself.

If it weren’t for the fact that Eightyfold Experience Cards couldn’t be stacked with each other, he would have bought two and combined them for an instant explosion of experience. Two Eightyfold Experience Cards would mean one hundred and sixty times the experience.

’With that multiplier, killing Supreme Emperor Qianyuan was equivalent to killing one hundred and sixty of him—or one hundred and sixty Saint King Stage powerhouses. How many Saint King Stage powerhouses could he even find to kill in the Mortal Realm?’

’Even in the Celestial Realm or the Netherworld, it would be impossible to find so many Saint King powerhouses clustered together just waiting to be killed, right?’

That was why he had only added a Fiftyfold Experience Card; it was already more than worth it. ’If there were more Saint Kings to kill,’ he mused, ’I would’ve sold everything I own to buy a few more Experience Cards to stack, even throwing in Fivefold Experience Cards!’

"This looked somewhat dangerous, but it was meaningless against me..." Yi Tianyun said, looking up at the rapidly withering flower petals. A venomous liquid oozed out from them, spreading across the ground.

The hard ground began to corrode severely under the venom’s touch. In moments, it had transformed into something resembling a toxic swamp, a testament to the poison’s terrifying potency.

’Even a Saint King Stage powerhouse would have a hard time surviving this poison. This was probably Qianyuan’s ultimate killing move...’ Yi Tianyun frowned. Although he hadn’t felt it was a major threat at the time, he had played it safe and used Instant Teleportation to appear behind Supreme Emperor Qianyuan and attack, not wanting to drag out the fight.

If he had continued to toy with him, his Experience Cards would have expired. So, he used Instant Teleportation to close the distance and crush him instantly!

He immediately began to clean up, collecting all the Storage Rings from the bodies, including the one from Supreme Emperor Qianyuan. Upon inspection, he discovered two Divine Artifacts inside!

"Two Divine Artifacts. His personal stash was quite impressive," Yi Tianyun said, shaking his head. "But only two, and he wasn’t even willing to give one to his own son. How stingy." He hadn’t found a single Divine Artifact in Emperor Qianyuan’s Storage Ring.

This showed that Supreme Emperor Qianyuan was completely self-centered. He didn’t care what happened to his son; the fact that he’d even given him some Martial Arts was probably generous by his standards.

He had kept both life-saving Divine Artifacts for himself, but Yi Tianyun had cut him down before he could even use them. In truth, taking them out would have been pointless. Both Divine Artifacts were perfectly suited for Supreme Emperor Qianyuan, practically tailor-made for him.

Only he, with his Divine Wood Body, could unleash their full power. They were clearly forged for him by the Creation Celestial Divine King. But who would have thought the man would be so ungrateful? He had cast aside his status as a Guardian for his own selfish desires.

Regardless, he had scraped the place clean of all its treasures. When he walked out of the main hall, the numerous guards outside were staring dumbly in his direction. It wasn’t that they hadn’t wanted to enter, but the continuous waves of energy radiating from within had forced them back, preventing them from getting even half a step closer.

Now the energy had dissipated, but the person who emerged was a complete stranger!

"Huh? Who is that?"

"That’s... that’s the Celestial Cloud Emperor! I’ve seen him before! When I accompanied our Great Emperor to the Celestial Cloud Imperial City!"

"How can that be? Why is the Celestial Cloud Emperor here? Does that mean the battle just now was him...?"

As they all began to speculate, Yi Tianyun swept his gaze across the crowd and announced in a deep voice, "The Great Emperor of the Qianyuan Empire offended me and has been suppressed by me! From this day forward, the Qianyuan Empire is under the rule of the Celestial Cloud Empire. Any who resist will be killed without mercy!"

His voice resounded throughout the entire Qianyuan Imperial City, audible even for miles around.

"What? Emperor Qianyuan is dead...?"

As everyone stood in stunned silence, a terrifying imperial might descended from the heavens, pressing down hard on them and forcing all the Cultivators to their knees. An irresistible force welled up from the depths of their souls, compelling them to prostrate themselves at Yi Tianyun’s feet!

This wasn’t some power that Yi Tianyun was actively using; he had simply equipped the "I Am the Great Emperor" title!

I Am the Great Emperor: When equipped, those a full major realm of cultivation weaker than the user will be inclined to submit. Also increases Commander Value by one thousand!

It was an astonishing title. He hadn’t equipped it before. If he had, he could have made people collapse in fear just by saying a casual word while walking down the street.

Now that he was at the Spirit King Stage, basically anyone below the Void Spirit Stage would be inclined to submit to him! The lower their cultivation, the easier it was to make them submit.

That was exactly what was happening now. All those below the Void Spirit Stage had dropped to their knees in submission. Only those at the Void Spirit Stage could still resist, but even they were terrified.

Their Great Emperor was dead. If they didn’t choose to obey, what other choice did they have?
