Chapter 439: The Fourth Great Emperor (Part 2)
"Born with the Ancient Divine Body at Great Success, such a thing has never been seen throughout history."
"To make a part of the Chaos feel such tremendous danger, to the point of expending resources to nurture an unrivaled Demon, it seems that it is inseparable from the Immortal Domain—"
Gu Qingfeng looked in the direction of the Chaos Void, where an Immortal Gate stood invisible to ordinary eyes, marking the entrance to the Immortal Domain.
According to Taoluo Demon God, before the Ancient Era, in those ancient years, the Immortal Domain and the myriad Chaos were interconnected.
It was only later that many Ancient Demon Gods paid a great price to seal the Immortal Gate, completely severing the connection between Chaos and the Immortal Domain.
This means.
If the Immortal Gate can be sealed, then it can also be unsealed.
With Gu Qingfeng's cultivation at this level, he could vaguely sense certain things.
However.
He did not delve further into these matters.
After all, as long as one's own strength is sufficient, all problems cease to be problems.
...
Name: Gu Qingfeng
Age: 845/12000
Realm: Peak of the Emperor Realm
Cultivation Techniques: Abyss Scripture (Great Emperor Chapter Perfection), Ancient Divine King Scripture (Great Emperor Chapter Perfection), Heavenly Vein True Scripture (Fifth Layer), Taoist Scripture (Great Emperor Chapter Perfection), Supreme Mysterious Immortal Scripture (Great Emperor Chapter Perfection), Blood Demon Emperor Scripture (Great Emperor Chapter Perfection), Ancient Wilderness Dao Scripture (Mid-Tier Great Emperor Chapter), (etc.)
Great Tao: Silent Extinction Path (Second Layer Perfection), Yellow Springs Path (First Layer Perfection)
Upgrade Points: 4000000
...
"Four million upgrade points are still not enough; I need to continue accumulating more!"
Eventually, Gu Qingfeng glanced at his attribute panel. Up to now, the upgrade points he had accumulated had already surpassed four million.
But for the Heavenly Venerate Realm, four million upgrade points are insignificant.
To Breakthrough.
It requires ten billion upgrade points.
Moreover.
This refers to an ordinary Heavenly Venerate.
For instance, for the Second Layer of the Great Tao to break through to the Third Layer, the required upgrade points for Breakthrough are as much as thirty billion.
"The path of collecting upgrade points is long and arduous; everything cannot be rushed!"
Gu Qingfeng shook his head slightly, opting to wait until later.
Over the years, the number of bloodlines within the Gu family has steadily increased, now astonishingly surpassing a thousand.
A thousand people.
For other great clans, this naturally amounts to nothing.
But for the Gu family, it's a new milestone.
From the time when the Gu family bloodlines numbered less than ten, to now barely surpassing four figures, it took a full eight hundred years.
But Gu Qingfeng believes that it will certainly not take another eight hundred years to reach two thousand bloodlines, possibly not even half that time.
After all, once the base number is there, subsequent bloodlines can grow exponentially.
The more bloodline descendants there are.
The more upgrade points Gu Qingfeng can obtain.
It has taken only dozens of years for him to collect four million upgrade points, much faster than before.
...
Time passes swiftly.
Under the circumstances of Divine Martial pacifying the world, the struggles in the Ancient Desolate World have never ceased.
After all, it is now a Great Struggle Prosperity Era, with many ancient powerhouses emerging one after another, aspiring to compete for the Great Emperor opportunities.
Even.
Many legacy secret realms left by Ancient Great Emperors have now successively emerged.
In such a situation, there are ancient powerhouses falling in battle, as well as new generations of powerhouses rising, achieving Saint, Great Saint, or even reaching Saint King Quasi-Emperor Realm.
Heavenly talents striving against each other!
Powerhouses emerge in an endless stream!
The vast Ancient Desolate World presents a vivid and thriving picture.
Among them.
The younger generation of the Gu family also rises to fame.
In the 686th year of the Divine Martial Era.
Gu Family's Emperor's son, Gu Xianlin, at the age of just six, passed the Saint Heavenly Tribulation, becoming the youngest Saint in history.
Instantly.
The world was shaken.
In the 695th year of the Divine Martial Era.
Gu Xianlin broke the Saint shackle, attaining the Great Saint Realm.
A fifteen-year-old Great Saint.
Astounded the whole world.
And in the 736th year of the Divine Martial Era, the Emperor Road re-emerged, and an ancient Quasi Emperor from the Red Dust Immortal Sect of the Ancient Era broke through to prove the Dao, attracting many top powerhouses to the Emperor Road, hoping to compete for the Great Emperor opportunities.
Ultimately.
The Supreme Elder of the Red Dust Immortal Sect fell in battle, causing the Emperor Road to collapse, leading to his complete demise.
As a result.
The Red Dust Immortal Sect was furious but had no way out.
After all, the contention for the Emperor Road is inherently a life-and-death struggle. It is unfortunate but inevitable for their own Supreme Elder to fall due to insufficient strength on the Emperor Road.
This battle.
Had no winners.
As the Emperor Road collapsed.
All parties suffered considerable losses.
In the 796th year of the Divine Martial Era.
The Emperor Road reappeared.
Ji Family Ancestor Ji Jiuhuang stepped onto the Emperor Road, battling various top powerhouses, ultimately ascending to the peak of the Emperor Road with unmatched strength, drawing the Great Emperor Heavenly Tribulation, becoming the fourth Emperor of this era.
With this.
The reputation of the Ji family in the Central Domain soared.
Long ago, the Ji family was already a top Imperial Clan. It was only after the previous Great Emperor fell and died that the Ji family saw some decline, but still held a secure position as one of the four Imperial Clans in the Central Domain due to its Imperial legacy.
Until now.
Ji Jiuhuang proved the Dao to become an Emperor.
Propelling the Ji family to the foremost position among the four Imperial Clans in the Central Domain.
The Ancient Qin family and other Imperial Clans, though discontented, were helpless against the situation.
"The fourth Great Emperor!"
At the moment Ji Jiuhuang proved the Dao to become an Emperor, a world-shaking Emperor Mighty swept across the Ancient Desolate World. Gu Qingfeng stood with hands folded, looking in the direction of the Chaos Void, his expression growing increasingly calm.
In past Great Struggle Prosperity Eras, it was often challenging to produce even one Great Emperor. Many eras ended with people becoming Great Saints or Saint Kings, with few truly breaking through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
But now.
Not counting Gu Qingfeng, three Great Emperors have emerged in this world.
And so far.
The Great Struggle Prosperity Era has only been going on for a few centuries.
In such a short period, three Great Emperors have emerged, indicating the exceptional nature of this era.
"Three Great Emperors are just the beginning; the number of Great Emperors emerging in this Great Struggle Prosperity Era will surely not end here. It seems that this Chaos Heavenly Dao has indeed sensed something, otherwise, it wouldn't foster so many Great Emperors!"
Gu Qingfeng looked at the Immortal Gate, as if the Great Tao was trembling, as if something was stirring the Immortal Gate.
Even though the fluctuation was faint, it could not escape Gu Qingfeng's eyes.
However.
These things are unrelated to him.
A century later.
Gu Qingfeng's upgrade points have already surpassed ten million.
As he previously anticipated.
As the number of Gu family bloodlines steadily increased, the rate of growth in upgrade points also surged.
A century plus of time.
Allowed the Gu family to grow from barely surpassing one thousand bloodlines to over 1,300.
The increase in Gu family bloodlines translated into a massive amount of upgrade points.
Thinking of this.
Gu Qingfeng stopped considering these issues and went to the Enlightenment Hall to refine Bloodline Crystals.
During this period.
Under Hong Ye's leadership, the Divine Demon Forbidden Army traversed numerous galaxies, collecting a large number of Bloodline Crystals.
Although these Bloodline Crystals, individually, were far inferior to the Bloodline Crystals of the Taoluo Demon God, the sheer quantity made up for it.
When the number of Bloodline Crystals surpassed three figures, the power contained within them was no weaker than that of the Taoluo Demon God's Bloodline Crystals.
Over more than a century.
Gu Qingfeng refined over three hundred Bloodline Crystals in total, and his strength consistently increased.
However.
Until his Ancient Immortal Body fully transforms into the Ancient Chaos Body, the degree of this increase remains relatively limited.
This time.
Hong Ye once again delivered 136 Bloodline Crystals, and Gu Qingfeng had a premonition that after refining this batch, it might allow his Ancient Immortal Body to completely transform, to the point of rivalling the Ancient Demon Gods with the Ancient Chaos Body.
As Gu Qingfeng cleared his mind of distractions, he began to focus on refining the power of the Bloodline Crystals, the terrifying bloodline rushing into his body like a torrent, causing the entire space of the Enlightenment Hall to become significantly more oppressive, as an ancient pressure emanated grandly.
