In a trance, Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord transformed into an ancient Great Emperor. Emperor Scriptures circulated, majesty of the Emperor's Dao blooming around him, washing his divine body as the scriptures reached flawless perfection.
Yet soon, the Emperor Scriptures receded, their supreme majesty diminishing. However, this was not the end. In their place, an immortal radiance transcending the mortal world emerged—it was the Divine King Chapter from an Immortal Scripture.
Not long after, the immortal radiance faded, and the Divine King Chapter of an Emperor Scripture circulated once more. Compared to the previous one, however, this carried a hint of world-destroying flavor, as if the ancient Great Emperor who created this Divine King Chapter was an invincible emperor who annihilated all heavens and myriad domains, his every gesture radiating world-obliterating light that shook the mortal realm.
Soon after, a third Divine King Chapter from an Emperor Scripture began to circulate...
One Divine King Chapter after another from various Emperor Scriptures or Immortal Scriptures continuously circulated, intertwining, replacing each other, switching perfectly, operating ceaselessly.
Extraordinary auras of majesty continuously manifested on Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord's body—sometimes the majesty of an Emperor, sometimes the supreme presence of an immortal—as if all the Emperors and supreme immortals of the myriad heavens were reflected within him, operating all manner of Emperor Scriptures and Immortal Scriptures.
Ye Chen, Yu Qing, and A Beinu all revealed looks of astonishment, for Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord was not merely cultivating one Divine King Chapter, but was simultaneously practicing many of them.
Without a doubt, such cultivation was extremely risky. Different Emperor Scriptures and Immortal Scriptures had completely different circulation paths, and the nature and aura of their profound arts varied greatly.
Cultivating in such a mixed manner easily led to deviation.
Even someone as powerful as Ye Chen dared not switch so casually.
Yet Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord showed no significant ill effects, continuously switching between the cultivation chapters of various Emperor Scriptures and Immortal Scriptures. After a full three days and nights, his aura finally reached perfection, everything retracting inward as he returned to his original appearance.
But the three of them faintly sensed that Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord seemed to have undergone some unknown change. His eyes had grown more profound, and he seemed to possess a bit more wisdom—a wisdom akin to a being who had lived through endless years, seeing through all things in the world.
"Fellow Daoist—" Ye Chen called softly, worried that something might have happened to Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord.
Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord looked at Ye Chen, their eyes meeting. Ye Chen's mind shook as if he had fallen into an endless river of time, nearly losing himself before finally breaking free, though he now regarded Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord with some wariness.
"I've troubled you with your concern, Fellow Daoist. I am fine. I must also thank you for gifting me the Emperor Scriptures and Immortal Scriptures, allowing some flaws in my realm to be completely repaired, making me flawless and complete."
Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord smiled faintly as he responded.
Was that really all?
Ye Chen frowned slightly. He always felt that Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord had indeed undergone some change—a transformation that appeared after cultivating the Emperor Scriptures and Immortal Scriptures.
The current Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord seemed increasingly unfathomable.
Then, Ye Chen said, "With Fellow Daoist Sky-Breaking's cultivation, if you step into the outside world, you will possess even greater possibilities and become even stronger."
Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord nodded, his gaze seemingly capable of piercing through the entire great world to see the outside, appearing exceptionally profound. "For these fifty thousand years, I could not advance as easily as you all. In pursuit of the pinnacle of the Great Dao, I could only continuously suppress myself, squeezing out every last bit of potential, time and time again. Only in this manner did I gain this sliver of possibility, allowing me to grasp hope and pursue the supreme realm!"
"Now that I have obtained the cultivation chapters of the Emperor Scriptures and Immortal Scriptures you gifted, and am about to leave this Mieqiong Great World, the restrictions on me are fewer. In the future, my cultivation speed will gradually accelerate."
How could Ye Chen and the others not understand how difficult it had been for Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord to reach this step?
The understanding of the three Imperial Sons and Daughters and the three Divine Kings of the Imperial Clans regarding Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord was, in fact, mistaken.
Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord was indeed a Divine King, but not a Four Tribulation Divine King. He was a Divine King figure at the level of the Strongest Young Supreme.
That's right—to a certain extent, Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord could also be considered a Strongest Young Supreme. Although his age was great, he had cultivated every major realm to the Tenth Heaven level, which was why he displayed such astonishing and terrifying combat power.
It could be said that within a Monarch Great World, the possibility of reaching the level of a Strongest Young Supreme was no less difficult than Ye Chen achieving the unprecedented Tenth Heaven in his previous life when the Tenth Heaven of the Sealed Universe had vanished.
It was nearly infinitely close to zero.
But Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord was a person of great perseverance. Knowing that the ordinary path could not lead to success, for fifty thousand years—even after obtaining Monarch Mieqiong's legacy, possessing dominion over the entire Monarch Great World, and commanding infinite resources that could allow rapid advancement—he had never deliberately cultivated too quickly. Instead, he had intentionally and continuously solidified his Dao foundation.
He repeatedly started from the beginning, engaging in arduous cultivation, striving to completely squeeze out the potential within every realm.
For fifty thousand years, cycling through this process, even before Ye Chen's arrival, Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord had been prepared to suppress his cultivation again. He intended to spend another century re-cultivating from the ninth level of the Great Power realm back to the Divine King realm, continuing to squeeze out that last remaining sliver of potential, all for the sake of broadening his path ahead and taking longer strides.
It was precisely because of such great perseverance that Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord had been able, step by step within the Monarch Great World, to cultivate every major realm from the Demigod realm onward to the Tenth Heaven, becoming a powerhouse comparable to a Strongest Young Supreme.
It could be said that with this level of combat power, Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord had been able to easily sweep through the six supreme powerhouses, including the three Imperial Sons and Daughters and the three Divine Kings of the Imperial Clans.
This was not something achieved merely by borrowing the power of the Monarch Great World.
These details were only sensed by Ye Chen and the others when Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord's aura inadvertently leaked after drinking the Heavenly Principle Tea, making them admire him all the more. Naturally, the former's future path was also filled with infinite brightness.
Once he left the Mieqiong Great World and went to the outside world—the Primordial Chaos Ancient Universe with its complete Ten Heavens—the advantage of being a fully realized Strongest Young Supreme would be completely highlighted. His extremely solid Dao foundation would be the same, and his cultivation speed would consequently accelerate to the limit.
Being able to befriend such a supreme powerhouse comparable to an Imperial Son at the Divine King level, Ye Chen also considered himself quite fortunate.
If they had been enemies at the time, not to mention the power of the Monarch Great World that Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord controlled, just his own cultivation comparable to a Divine King-level Strongest Young Supreme would have been enough to give anyone a headache.
Next, Ye Chen and the others, along with Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord, did not immediately leave the Mieqiong Great World.
Although Sky-Breaking Sovereign Lord had long grown tired of staying in this Mieqiong Great World and yearned to transcend it sooner, he was, after all, the world's master worshipped by all living beings. Now that all the other Great Power Sovereign Lords had rebelled, with him as the only one left in the current era capable of overseeing the world, he needed to handle numerous complicated affairs before departing.
