...

As Gu Qingfeng glanced at his attribute panel, he noticed that it had changed again after he broke through to the Emperor Realm. Compared to the previous clutter of martial arts, the current panel was much simpler. The martial arts section had been replaced with cultivation techniques, and only three techniques were displayed:

Depth Sutra!

Ancient Divine King Sutra!

Heavenly Pulse Scripture!

The first two were naturally genuine Emperor-level techniques, while the latter, the Heavenly Pulse Scripture, was clearly of a different caliber.

Then, Gu Qingfeng discovered that while other techniques below the Emperor level no longer appeared, they could be recalled with a mere thought. This updated attribute panel essentially gave Gu Qingfeng the ability to actively filter out the more complex techniques. In the past, with numerous cultivation techniques, his panel had been overwhelming, but this change made it much more convenient.

Next, there was the new Great Dao attribute. Similar to cultivation techniques, this section recorded not only the Great Dao but also the rules and principles he had comprehended. However, the panel was currently updated to show only the Path of Oblivion, with other rule forces temporarily hidden.

"1.5 million advancement points!"

"Normally, that should be enough for me to advance another level!"

Gu Qingfeng mused. The reason he had accumulated so many advancement points was that he hadn't used them to force a breakthrough during his previous ascensions. Initially, Gu Qingfeng had considered using advancement points to break through directly, but when his Ancient Immortal Body reached its peak, a profound enlightenment surged within him, guiding him to the path of the Emperor. Thus, he saved a million advancement points and broke through to the Emperor Realm in the traditional manner.

If he had used advancement points to break through, Gu Qingfeng suspected he wouldn't have needed to walk the Emperor's path and wouldn't have had to worry about other cultivators interfering. After all, breaking through via the attribute panel was a natural progression, with no room for setbacks.

Therefore, Gu Qingfeng saved a million advancement points. However, he didn't rashly use them to continue advancing. The Depth Sutra had already reached its limit at the Emperor Realm, and to break through further, he would need to transcend his limits.

But transcending limits required ten times the advancement points of a normal advancement. In other words, while a million advancement points could advance him one level in the Emperor Realm, transcending limits would require at least ten million advancement points.

So, Gu Qingfeng abandoned that idea. He looked at the surviving demons in the void and, with a single palm strike, unleashed a terrifying force that suppressed the vast expanse of space, annihilating all the demons.

After dealing with this, Gu Qingfeng took a step and returned to the Ancient Realm. The other cultivators, seeing the chaos of the Path of Oblivion, were left speechless for a long while.

At the same time, after the demons in the chaos were exterminated, the surviving demons in the Ancient Realm were terrified. They dared not continue their invasion and instead sought the ancient teleportation arrays left behind in the Ancient Realm to escape back to the Youmo Realm.

When the demons retreated, the human side gained a respite. However, Gu Qingfeng paid no attention to these matters. Upon returning to the Ancient Realm, he immediately returned to the Gu family and entered the Enlightenment Hall to go into seclusion.

Having just broken through to the Emperor Realm, Gu Qingfeng needed time to familiarize himself with this new level of cultivation.

"The difference between the Emperor Realm and the Aspirant Realm is staggering. Even a newly ascended Emperor can easily suppress a peak Aspirant, and a Ban Di is nothing before a true peak Emperor."

"At this level, the quality of life itself has transcended. To truly rival an Emperor as an Aspirant, one must be a rare genius capable of defying the heavens!"

Gu Qingfeng could never fully understand the power of the Emperor Realm until he reached it. Only by ascending to this realm could he truly grasp what it meant to be an Emperor. This breakthrough was not just a rise in power but also a transformation of life itself.

This transformation was akin to the suppression the Evil Spirits once had over the human race in Ancestor State. The gap in life quality was something that mere strength and foundation could not bridge. Only someone with a perfected divine body, like Summer Lord, could truly contend with an Emperor.

But it was merely a rivalry.

To suppress an Emperor, the opponent was not yet qualified.

At the same time.

After breaking through to the Emperor Realm, Gu Qingfeng could clearly feel the suppression from the entire Chaotic Heavenly Path.

At this level, one already stood at the pinnacle of the chaotic realm. To break through to the Celestial Sovereign realm, one must step into the Immortal Domain.

"The suppression of the Chaotic Heavenly Path is insurmountable. The Tian Dao suppression of the Era of Decline and the Tian Dao suppression at this level are two entirely different concepts!"

At this level, Gu Qingfeng truly understood the power of the Chaotic Heavenly Path, something an Emperor could not shake.

However.

Although the suppression from the Chaotic Heavenly Path exists, it has not yet reached the point of completely stalling his progress.

At the same Emperor Realm.

Gu Qingfeng is just at the initial stage of the Emperor Realm, and he has not yet reached the peak of the Emperor Realm. However, he feels that his current strength is enough to face even the peak Emperors without fear.

"The Abyssal Scripture has reached its limit. To continue breaking through, either the Abyssal Scripture needs to break its limits, or the Dao Scriptures need to be advanced, or I need to enhance the Ancient Divine King Scripture!"

"The first option requires too many advancement points, the second option would take a considerable amount of time. Currently, enhancing the Ancient Divine King Scripture is the most suitable choice..."

Gu Qingfeng murmured to himself.

The Ancient Divine King Scripture, as a top-tier Emperor inheritance, can allow one to break through to the peak of the Emperor Realm.

In other words.

This level of inheritance is considered the pinnacle in the chaotic realm.

After all, the number of inheritances that can reach the peak of the Emperor Realm is not numerous.

Therefore.

Gu Qingfeng made his decision.

Enhance the Ancient Divine King Scripture!

...

With a thought, 18,000 advancement points were consumed, and the Ancient Divine King Scripture, which was originally at the ninth level of the Dao Palace chapter, instantly broke through to the ninth level of the Sage Human chapter.

If a normal person were to make such a breakthrough, it would certainly boost their strength significantly.

But for Gu Qingfeng, who had already entered the Emperor Realm, this level of breakthrough did not bring any change. The power gained from the Ancient Divine King Scripture was like a drop of water in the ocean, barely causing any ripples.

Continue enhancing!

Gu Qingfeng did not hesitate.

First level of the Great Sage chapter!

Second level of the Great Sage chapter!

...

Ninth level of the Great Sage chapter!

...

Ninth level of the Sage King chapter!

...

Empire Aspirant chapter, perfected!

...

When the Ancient Divine King Scripture broke through to the perfected stage of the Empire Aspirant chapter, Gu Qingfeng broke through again.

"Boom!"

A surging power suddenly emerged from his flesh and blood, causing his qi and blood to boil like a torrent. The terrifying qi and blood strength, akin to a star river, emitted a heart-rending aura.

Ancient Divine King Scripture!

Initial stage of the Emperor chapter!

...

"Finally!"

Gu Qingfeng once again looked at his attribute panel. After using over a million advancement points, the Ancient Divine King Scripture finally reached the same stage as the Abyssal Scripture, both having entered the Emperor Realm.

The difference is that.

The Abyssal Scripture reaching the Emperor Realm is its limit.

But the Ancient Divine King Scripture still has room for improvement.

At the same time.

With the breakthrough of the Ancient Divine King Scripture, Gu Qingfeng felt his strength increase by at least thirty percent.

Don't underestimate this thirty percent increase. In the Emperor Realm, every bit of improvement is a significant transformation.

A thirty percent boost is enough to bring about a fundamental change in Gu Qingfeng's strength.

"If I could match the peak Emperors when I just broke through to the Emperor Realm, then with the breakthrough of the Ancient Divine King Scripture, I should not be weaker than the rumored half-step Celestial Sovereigns.

But to match true Celestial Sovereigns, I still fall short!"

Gu Qingfeng had a rough estimate of his strength. From the strength of the Demon Ancestor, he could gauge the level of peak Emperors and even half-step Celestial Sovereigns.

But for the next level of Celestial Sovereigns, it was unknown.

However, there was one thing Gu Qingfeng understood.

The gap between a Heavenly Venerable and a half-step Heavenly Venerable is undoubtedly astonishing.

Now, the only thing Gu Qingfeng needed to consider was whether using the power of the four Heavenly Veins would give him a chance to contend with a Heavenly Venerable.

Although the power of the four Heavenly Veins could quadruple his strength, Gu Qingfeng still felt it wasn’t entirely secure.

But the problem was that advancing the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture was no easy task.

To break through to the fifth level of this cultivation technique, one needed a million advancement points, and the sixth level required ten million. Each subsequent level increased by a factor of ten.

By the time one reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture, a hundred billion advancement points were required.

Just from the advancement points needed to break through, it was evident that the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture was extraordinary.

In the past, without breaking through to the Emperor Realm, Gu Qingfeng’s perspective was somewhat limited, and he couldn’t determine the rank of the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture.

But now, he could confidently say that the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture was definitely not a product of the Chaos but came from the Immortal Realm.

Moreover—

Even the average Heavenly Venerable lineage probably couldn’t match the power of the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture.

The reason was simple.

To break through one level in the Emperor Realm required a million advancement points, so breaking through one level for a Heavenly Venerable would require, at most, ten million.

After obtaining the Oblivion Heavenly Blade, Gu Qingfeng tried to push the limits of the Path of Oblivion, and the result was that it took a billion advancement points to advance the Path of Oblivion to the second level.

Breaking the limit required a billion.

So, breaking through one level for a Heavenly Venerable would likely require around ten million.

However, the seventh level of the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture already required a billion, and the ninth level required a hundred billion, showing just how high the rank of this cultivation technique was.

"Every cultivation technique has its limits. The Heavenly Pulse True Scripture can double a cultivator's strength, but it can't keep increasing indefinitely.

But from the current perspective, given the rank of the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture, it might still have some effect on Heavenly Venerable-level experts.

This cultivation technique is a great opportunity. If I truly step into the Immortal Realm in the future, the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture will be a key factor!"

Doubling one’s strength can often turn the tide of a situation.

Although the more the Heavenly Pulse True Scripture increases one’s strength, the greater the burden on the physical body, Gu Qingfeng had no problem withstanding the power of the four Heavenly Veins in the past. Now, having broken through to the Emperor Realm and possessing a perfected Ancient Immortal Body, he could handle even more enhancements.

Next, Gu Qingfeng continued his seclusion to familiarize himself with his newfound power.

The Depth Sutra breakthrough!

The Ancient Divine King Scripture breakthrough!

He needed to thoroughly understand the power brought by these two imperial scriptures.

While Gu Qingfeng was in seclusion, a tremendous change had occurred in the Divine Martial Divine Dynasty.

The Emperor’s enlightenment!

Mai Xue’s nourishment!

All descendants of the Gu family saw a rapid increase in their strength, and the Divine Lord Gu Yang’s cultivation soared to the Great Sage Realm.

Of course, these were not the main points.

The most significant change was that the Divine Martial Gu family had produced a true Emperor, an invincible Emperor.

On the path of Emperors, Gu Qingfeng single-handedly suppressed numerous ancient Emperors and even repelled the Primordial Era’s Demon Ancestor with a single strike, his power reaching the heavens and causing shock throughout the Ancient Realm.

All cultivators understood that this era was destined to belong to Gu Qingfeng.

Among the many Emperors of past generations, his strength could rank in the top three, comparable to the Taiyi Divine Lord of the Primordial Era and the Xuan Emperor of the Primeval Era.

The Taiyi Divine Lord, of course, needed no introduction. In the Primordial Era, he suppressed the entire Chaos, and even Emperors bowed to him.

As for the Xuan Emperor, he was the only one to step into the Immortal Realm during the Primeval Era.

His strength was unfathomable, and he was hailed as being on par with the Taiyi Divine Lord.

Now, with Gu Qingfeng’s enlightenment,

His existence was also regarded by many cultivators of the Ancient Realm as being on par with the Taiyi Divine Lord and the Xuan Emperor.

Such a powerhouse was destined to overshadow all other cultivators. Even if another Emperor emerged in this era of great contention, they would not be able to rival him.

In this situation, the prestige of the Divine Martial Dynasty soared, and other major realms’ forces were deeply wary.

But everyone understood that the Divine Martial Dynasty was no longer a force they could challenge. If the former truly sought to unify the entire Ancient Realm, they would have to submit.

This situation was much like the Taiyi Divine Dynasty of old.

The emergence of an invincible Emperor was enough to stabilize the world.

In the halls of the Divine Martial Dynasty, the ministers gathered.

The Chief Minister Liang Jin stepped forward, bowed, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, now that the Supreme Emperor has enlightened to the Emperor Realm, our Divine Martial Dynasty wields power over all. This is an opportunity for the court. We should emulate the Taiyi Divine Dynasty of the Primordial Era and unify the entire Ancient Realm!" (End of Chapter)
