Chapter 891 - Black Emperor (1/2)

Translator: Chaos_  Editor: Chaos_

Xue Ying was clear that with his attainments in the Dao of Mirage and the ‘Vermillion Nightmare inheritance’ which a senior had created, only then could he reach the Vermillion Nightmare sixth transformation so easily. Even though he spent over five million years pushing another cultivation system all the way to the ‘fifth level Star Pagoda strength’, this short period was not worth mentioning against the eternal life of cultivators.

‘It’ll be very hard for me to improve further.’ Xue Ying thought.

He was at a huge bottleneck–from the Unity realm to the Primal Chaos realm. Even the Voidwalker system or the ‘Dao of Mirage’ which he had the greatest hope of breaking through would require him to cultivate for a very long period, much less the Vermillion Nightmare inheritance.

He was merely temporarily altering the inner illusory world structure of the Vermillion Nightmare inheritance. For him to raise the Vermillion Nightmare to the sixth level Star Pagoda strength was considered a huge success already.

Naturally–

Xue Ying’s current mood remained perfectly fine.

Because he had already reached his target for this ancient cultivation! Reaching the sixth transformation of the Vermillion Nightmare inheritance, the degree of strength his soul had reached was three times that before he cultivated this inheritance. If he were to use the Sky Punishment Edge… he could unleash ten of them!

…

At this moment when Xue Ying cultivated the Vermillion Nightmare inheritance to the sixth realm–

Over at another location in the Myriad Ancient Sacred World.

At a very far location from the Green Peng Sect–approximately more than half the entire span of Myriad Ancient Sacred World, there was a towering black palace located high in the cloud layer. This black palace which occupied a region of over 500,000 kilometers in distance had an exquisite gold sculpture constructed on its surface. There were many guards and servants within the palace too. All the servants were being extremely obedient and respectful.

Positioned below this black palace above the cloud layer, there was a city which occupied an area of more than 100 million kilometers in distance. There were many cultivators living within. This location was incomparably safe, and no devils dared to create trouble here.

And this city was also known as the ‘Black Emperor City’.

The palace on the upper end of the cloud layer was called the ‘Black Emperor Palace’, and its creator was a legendary existence–the ‘Black Emperor’!

Black Emperor was a Primal Chaos giant that was famous even during the era of the primitive Ancient Sacred World!

He was supposedly a life and death friend with ‘World Ancestor’ when they were small and weak.

He had even fought with the true body of a Cosmos God and easily escaped from him.

His strength was unquestionably at the ninth level of Star Pagoda! Being invited by his good friend, the ‘World Ancestor’, he decided to stay within the territory of Myriad Ancient Sacred World. Nevertheless, he was not a devour-class cultivator. Instead, he was an ancient cultivator. That was why the ‘Black Emperor City’ he created forbade those devils from devouring and slaughtering others.

“Hu.”

Deep within the Black Emperor Palace.

This male who was covered in scales sat there cross-legged. He had a long tail that seemed to be that of a dragon tail curling and occupying the majority half of the palace hall.

There were four different auras shown on top of this male.

There was a scarlet red, an azure green, a resplendent white and a mysterious black aura revolving around his head. Only the mysterious black aura remained slightly chaotic and unstable.

This male slowly opened his eyes. The four auras above his head fused back into his body.

‘I’ve completed the other three inheritances during the era of primitive Ancient Sacred World, leaving just the final inheritance which I had yet to achieve perfection.’ This male stood up. The scales on his body were exquisite, and his eyes were faintly slitted, ‘That time, I still called myself Black Emperor because I feel that I could complete this final inheritance.’

‘How long has it been?’

‘I’ve always been lacking by that final step. The other three inheritances would always disrupt this final one.’ Black Emperor sighed.

If not for cultivating the other three inheritances, it would naturally be easy to cultivate just one of them to perfection.

And to succeed in all four techniques, one had to complete the other three before completing the final one. The final technique would suffer from the greatest interference from the other three.

‘As long as I succeed, the four great inheritances would perfectly fuse into one entity just like the revolution of a cosmos.’ Black Emperor thought, ‘By then, I would become a Cosmos God! But I have been stuck at this final step for so long. Unless I chose the wrong path in the past?’

He was filled with ambition.

That time, World Ancestor was merely comparable to him.

World Ancestor chose to focus on a single Dao path. He decided to focus on the devour-class system. Even though it was not strong across those at the same level, World Ancestor had still cultivated to where he stood currently.

As for Black Emperor, he sought to reach the highest limits. At the same time, he cultivated four different supportive inheritances. When he was at the Origin Birth realm, he could transcend realm and slaughter all Unity experts… and at the Unity realm, he had attained the seventh level Star Pagoda strength. Now at the Primal Chaos realm, he had reached the ninth level Star Pagoda stage! In the future when he became a Cosmos God, he would similarly become someone extraordinary. But it’s a pity that he remained stuck at this bottleneck!
