Chapter 411: Attaining Emperor

Chapter 411: Attaining Emperor

Treading the Imperial Path.

Plunging into the chaos.

A world-ending thunder calamity enveloped the entire star realm, and the terrifying force could be felt across every star domain.

Many ancient beings in the star realm awakened, their eyes opening to gaze across the endless void, landing on Gu Qingfeng.

"The Imperial Path has appeared!"

"Someone is attaining Emperor!"

"Strange, the Great Strife Era just began, why is there already a powerful cultivator attaining Emperor—"

These ancient beings were filled with shock and doubt.

In the past, it would take at least several hundred or even a thousand years for an Emperor to emerge after the Great Strife Era began.

Sometimes.

An entire Great Strife Era would end without a single Emperor appearing.

But now.

The Great Strife Era had just started, and a cultivator was already drawing down the Emperor’s thunder calamity.

Moreover, the many skeletons and the mottled imperial blood that soaked the Imperial Path emitted a terrifying aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

In the void.

The Black Abyss Emperor, who was secretly recovering in an ancient star, was also jolted awake by this aura. His face darkened as he looked in the direction of the thunder calamity.

"Gu Qingfeng!"

The Black Abyss Emperor never expected that Gu Qingfeng would attain Emperor so quickly.

Thinking of this.

The Black Abyss Emperor cursed inwardly.

"The old fools in the Ancient Realm’s forbidden zones are all useless, allowing this youth to attain Emperor. If he breaks through successfully, how can they hope to survive!"

Despite his words.

The Black Abyss Emperor had no intention of revealing himself.

With the Emperor’s thunder calamity descending, who would dare to interfere and risk being caught in its wrath? At that moment, the transformed thunder calamity would even make an Emperor bleed.

If he wanted to obstruct the path, it had to be on the Imperial Path.

Once the path was completed and the thunder calamity was drawn, there would be no further chance to obstruct.

At this moment.

The Emperor’s thunder calamity descended.

The overwhelming destructive force affected all, and countless ancient stars were instantly reduced to dust. Even Demon Clan cultivators who failed to retreat in time perished in the thunder calamity.

Only Gu Qingfeng stood firm in the midst of the thunder calamity, his body unshaken no matter how fierce the Emperor’s thunder calamity was.

A perfected Primordial Immortal Body!

A body as formidable as an Imperial Weapon!

No matter how powerful the Emperor’s thunder calamity was, it was still just a thunder calamity and could not harm a body that rivaled an Imperial Weapon.

After the nine waves of the thunder calamity passed, a strange breeze suddenly blew, entering Gu Qingfeng’s seven orifices and penetrating his bones and consciousness, seeking to extinguish his soul.

"The Soul Annihilation Calamity!"

Gu Qingfeng understood.

This was the Soul Annihilation Calamity that followed the nine waves of the Emperor’s thunder calamity. This calamity was insidious, targeting the cultivator’s soul directly.

If a cultivator’s body was strong but their soul was not refined enough, they would perish in the calamity.

In comparison.

The Soul Annihilation Calamity was the true threat, impossible to guard against.

Fortunately.

Gu Qingfeng’s body was harmonious, his blood and qi nurturing his soul. Combined with his understanding of the Great Dao, his soul was immensely powerful, making it difficult for even the Soul Annihilation Calamity to truly shake him.

The Soul Annihilation Calamity passed!

Next came the Heart Demon Calamity!

Gu Qingfeng felt the scene change, and images from his past life reappeared. He seemed to lose all his strength, as if everything from his past was just a dream.

When his parents and friends from the past reappeared, Gu Qingfeng felt no emotional turmoil.

The scene changed again.

Various beauties appeared before him.

But no matter how the thunder calamity transformed, Gu Qingfeng remained unmoved.

As the Heart Demon Calamity dissipated, an even more powerful force rose within his body. His divine consciousness surged, instantly covering the entire universe.

In the face of such overwhelming power, ancient Emperors were no different from ants.

After attaining Emperor.

Gu Qingfeng led the Divine Martial Dynasty to conquer the Ancient Realm, subjugating various forces. He then found the You Mo Realm and entered it alone, slaying the demon ancestor and eradicating all the demons.

Subduing the Desolate Ancient Era!

Exterminating the demons!

Sweeping through the chaos!

In less than a century, the power of the Divine Martial Dynasty spread across the boundless star domains of the chaos.

At the same time.

The Gu family truly branched out, with countless descendants.

In this situation.

The enhancement points Gu Qingfeng received at every moment were immense. Thanks to the attribute panel, his strength continued to grow, even without breaking the Emperor limit, reaching an unfathomable level.

One day.

Under the watchful eyes of humanity, Gu Qingfeng opened the legendary Transcendent Gate. A divine light formed the supreme path to transcendence, but what awaited them was not the Transcendent Realm, but countless evil gods.

These evil gods surged out of the Transcendent Gate, as if intent on destroying the entire chaos.

At this critical moment.

Gu Qingfeng stepped forward, single-handedly suppressing numerous evil gods, and then led the Divine Martial Clan into the Transcendent Realm.

Millions of years later.

Gu Qingfeng stood atop the bones of countless evil gods, seated high in the heavens, overlooking the entire Transcendent Realm. With a single thought, he could bring life to all things, and with another, he could destroy them. The river of time flowed beneath his feet, and with a mere wave of his hand, he could stir up endless waves across the past and future.

At this moment.

Gu Qingfeng had become the supreme ruler of the entire Transcendent Realm, transcending to an entirely new level.

This level.

Immortal and indestructible!

Eternal and undying!

"Congratulations, Father, for achieving the pinnacle of dominion. From now on, you will be eternal and undying, forever unaged and unextinguished!"

Below, Gu Yang, dressed in imperial robes, stood with a fervent expression. Behind him were numerous descendants of the Gu family.

Hearing the words of his many descendants, Gu Qingfeng’s face broke into a faint smile.

"This Heart Demon Calamity is quite intriguing indeed!"

As Gu Qingfeng’s words faded, the scene before him abruptly ended, and all the space around him shattered.

What supreme ruler of the Transcendent Realm!

What dominion over all the heavens!

All of it was like a false bubble, and the memories of those countless years could now be shattered with a single touch. Gu Qingfeng watched as the heavenly calamity gradually dissipated, and the power within him began to awaken. He then smiled calmly.

"No wonder so few have managed to attain the rank of Emperor. This Heart Demon Calamity is unpredictable, and a moment's inattention can lead to complete immersion!"

Immortal and indestructible!

What a temptation!

Unfortunately.

Gu Qingfeng always remained true to his heart. From the very beginning, he knew he was within the Heart Demon Calamity and had never truly escaped it.

But he did not immediately break free from the Heart Demon Calamity’s constraints. Instead, he wanted to see how far the Heart Demon Calamity could evolve on its own.

Sure enough.

All the scenes created by the Heart Demon Calamity were reflections of Gu Qingfeng’s thoughts. The so-called supreme ruler of the Transcendent Realm was no exception.

He believed that the supreme ruler of the Transcendent Realm was the pinnacle, so in the Heart Demon Calamity, he reached the realm of supreme dominion.

However.

The Heart Demon Calamity was still a Heart Demon Calamity.

Illusions remained illusions.

Having experienced it, Gu Qingfeng would not sink into them.

When the terrifying imperial aura erupted from Gu Qingfeng, the entire chaotic star realm trembled. Infinite golden flowers fell from the chaos, and countless golden lotuses emerged in the boundless void.

Heaven scattered golden flowers!

Earth sprouted golden lotuses!

An Emperor was born!

The heavens and earth celebrated!

...

Boom!

At the moment Gu Qingfeng broke through to the Great Earth Realm, Gu Yang, who was in the imperial palace, felt a terrifying power surge within his body. His original Ninth Tier Sage cultivation could no longer be controlled and began to rapidly advance.

In an instant.

The heavenly calamity appeared.

Gu Yang instantly left the palace grounds.

"Great Sage Thunder Calamity!"

"Who would have thought it would come so quickly!!"

Gu Yang's face was a mix of shock and joy. He knew exactly what was happening to him.

This was the result of Gu Qingfeng breaking through to the Great Earth Realm, causing all the descendants of the Gu family to transform into Emperor veins, thus receiving a blessing that greatly increased their strength.

As Gu Qingfeng’s direct son, Gu Yang naturally received the most blessing. This sudden appearance of Emperor veins was enough to break the constraints of the Sage realm and directly propel him to the Great Sage realm.

Before long.

The Great Sage Thunder Calamity descended.

Gu Yang delivered a single punch, shattering the entire Great Sage Thunder Calamity.

The moment the heavenly calamity shattered, a terrifying aura, ten times more powerful than that of an ordinary Great Sage, spread from Gu Yang.

"Great Sage realm!"

"The power of this realm is indeed incomparable to that of a Sage!"

Gu Yang felt the different power within his body and gained a deeper understanding of the Great Sage realm.

At the same time.

When Gu Qingfeng broke through to the rank of Emperor, the cultivation levels of other members of the Gu family also made varying degrees of progress.

—

Boom!

In the Vacuous Holy Land, Gu Xuan’s aura suddenly surged, and his cultivation, which was originally at the First Tier Sage, began to visibly advance.

Second Tier Sage!

Third Tier Sage!

Fourth Tier Sage!

...

In just a moment.

Gu Xuan had broken through to the Seventh Tier Sage.

The powerful aura was overwhelming, and many cultivators in the Vacuous Holy Land found it difficult to withstand. Only Grand Daoist Master Tai Xuan’s face was filled with shock and joy.

"Excellent, excellent! The power of the Emperor veins is truly terrifying, capable of advancing someone from the First Tier Sage to the Seventh Tier Sage in one go!"

Though he said this, Grand Daoist Master Tai Xuan was also envious deep down.

Seventh Tier Sage!

Just the power of the Emperor veins had spared him many years of arduous cultivation, allowing him to advance to this level.

After all.

Grand Daoist Master Tai Xuan was only at the Eighth Tier Sage, and reaching this point had been a long and arduous journey, costing him an untold amount of effort.

Yet.

Gu Xuan, relying on the power of the Emperor veins, had achieved such a feat. To say he was not envious would be a lie.

However—

Grand Daoist Taiyuan understood this as well.

How incredibly difficult it was for an Emperor to arise within a family.

Moreover,

Such a significant breakthrough could only happen in this lifetime, where an Emperor was born. If an Emperor had already existed before, even if one was born with the Emperor’s Bloodline, it wouldn’t bring about such a heaven-defying transformation.

The other cultivators from the Void Sanctum, upon hearing this, looked at Gu Xuan with a mix of reverence and envy.

This was the benefit of having a diligent elder in one's family.

Unfortunately,

No one in their families had managed to attain the Great Earth Realm, so they could only look on helplessly, with no way to change their situation.

...

At this moment,

With Gu Qingfeng breaking through to the Great Earth Realm, the Gu family’s members all made breakthroughs of varying degrees.

Gu Shengnan, who was within the Sword Sect, felt her aura steadily rise. In no time, she directly attracted the Sage Thunder Calamity.

Xiao Jianjun’s face lit up with joy.

“Excellent, excellent, excellent! The Emperor’s Bloodline’s feedback will ensure that the Gu family’s Emperor’s Bloodline is the most supreme!”

Xiao Jianjun had witnessed Gu Qingfeng’s battle on the Imperial Path.

Even the most powerful Emperors in the Sword Sect’s history were far inferior to him.

Indeed,

They were not on the same level.

Even among those with the Emperor’s Bloodline,

There were distinctions of high and low.

Without a doubt,

The Gu family’s Emperor’s Bloodline would undoubtedly be the most supreme.

As a direct descendant of the Gu family, and with the family producing an Emperor in this lifetime, Gu Shengnan’s purity of the Emperor’s Bloodline was exceptional.

Originally,

Gu Shengnan’s talent was already considerable, having cultivated the Peerless Sword Bone. With the Emperor’s Bloodline’s enhancement, her talent was now on par with some powerful divine bodies.

If all went well,

The Sword Sect was destined to flourish in her hands.

...

“Your offspring, Gu Yang, has received the Emperor’s Bloodline’s feedback and has broken through to the Great Sage 1st Tier!”

“Reward: 2000 enhancement points!”

“Reward: 1000 Law Enlightenment Pills!”

“Your offspring, Gu Xuan, has received the Emperor’s Bloodline’s feedback and has broken through to the Sage 2nd Tier!”

“Reward: 800 enhancement points!”

“Your offspring, Gu Xuan, has received the Emperor’s Bloodline’s feedback and has broken through to the Sage 3rd Tier!”

“Reward: 800 enhancement points!”

“Your offspring...”

“Your offspring, Gu Xuan, has received the Emperor’s Bloodline’s feedback and has broken through to the Sage 7th Tier!”

“Reward: 800 enhancement points!”

“Your offspring...”

“Your offspring, Gu Xiu, has received the Emperor’s Bloodline’s feedback and has broken through to the Sage 7th Tier!”

“Reward: 800 enhancement points!”

“Your offspring, Gu Shengnan, has received the Emperor’s Bloodline’s feedback and has broken through to the Sage 1st Tier!”

“Reward: 800 enhancement points!”

“Your offspring, Gu Shengxing, has received the Emperor’s Bloodline’s feedback and has broken through to the Sage 1st Tier!”

“Reward: 800 enhancement points!”

“Your offspring, Gu Shengan, has received the Emperor’s Bloodline’s feedback and has broken through to the Sage 1st Tier!”

“Reward: 800 enhancement points!”

...

As Gu Qingfeng looked at his information panel, a flood of text appeared, detailing the breakthroughs of the younger generation of the Gu family.

The first generation, like Gu Yang, had at least reached the Sage 7th Tier, while Gu Yang himself had broken through the Sage barrier, advancing to the Great Sage Realm.

Among the second generation, the highest breakthroughs were achieved by Gu Shengnan and others, all reaching the Sage Realm.

Those slightly less fortunate, like Gu Shengqing, had reached the Palace of Dao 9th Tier, just one step away from the Sage Realm.

In short,

Apart from the first generation,

The second generation was the most significantly affected, with the lowest among them stopping at the Palace of Dao 9th Tier.

For the third, fourth, and fifth generations, the benefits varied.

Some received benefits on par with the second generation, while others received less.

Regardless,

With the feedback from the Emperor’s Bloodline, the overall strength of the Gu family had surged, far surpassing its former state. (End of Chapter)
