Chapter 3: The Brave Jin Taijun

Chapter 3: The Super Brave Golden Grand Empress

With a thunderous roar, immeasurable divine light erupted from the depths of the Universe, illuminating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the world was plunged into a vast expanse of white.

On this day, billions of living beings witnessed the most dazzling light of their lives, even brighter than the sun, turning night into day.

Between heaven and earth, there was only light, dispelling all darkness, like a bright lamp, seemingly illuminating all paths forward, no longer so hesitant or lost.

……

After a long time, the world became silent again, as if nothing had happened; the stars continued to move, and life continued to exist.

In a certain cold Star Domain, nothing remained, not even stars, only boundless darkness and death-like tranquility.

“Wuwu…”

The next moment, various strange phenomena occurred in heaven and earth; blood light soared, staining the entire sky; the heavens wept, raining blood; and the earth wailed, shaking in all directions.

“This is an omen that appears only when a peerless expert dies!” Someone said, with a sense of sorrow.

There has always been such a rumor in the world that when a Supreme and above perishes, some strange phenomena will occur, but after countless years, such figures are hard to die and have been forgotten.

“Holy Emperor…”

After a brief silence, everyone knew who had perished, especially in the territory where the Holy Emperor Palace was located; many people wailed and cried, calling out to one person, hoping he could reappear in the world.

Meng Tianzheng arrived at the Star Domain where Lin Tianfan was Undergoing Tribulation, his expression serious, with a hint of loneliness and sadness, because a Supreme hero had departed just like that.

“He… succeeded, and… failed!” Meng Tianzheng sighed on his weathered face, his voice mournful, looking at a cracked cauldron not far away.

In this great calamity, it did not perish with its master but survived, proving that a powerful expert once existed.

At the same time, although this golden cauldron was cracked, it still spewed Chaos Qi and emitted Immortal Dao light, all of which proved that the Holy Emperor had already stepped into the Immortal Dao Realm but fell in the black mist.

The people from the Holy Emperor Palace also came; they were the Eight Great War Generals, each of whom had surging Qi and blood, looking very young, powerful, and majestic.

“Lord Holy Emperor… you shouldn’t leave like this; you are invincible and should look down upon the world from above, existing eternally…”

The Holy Emperor’s Eight Great War Generals all cried bitterly; at this moment, their pillar of faith seemed to have collapsed, feeling extremely desolate.

“Whoosh!”

At this time, many other experts rushed here; they were the top group of Cultivators in the Nine Heavens, from the Chang Sheng Family, Dao Lineages, and Imperial Dynasty; each of them was an existence that could influence the general trend of the world.

“Alas, it’s too regrettable that Fellow Daoist Holy Emperor left at such a young age!” Xu Mingxuan, the Lord of the Xu Family Imperial Dynasty, said; this was one of the few forces that had not had conflicts with the Holy Emperor Palace.

Back then, Lin Tianfan had been an enemy of many forces, some of which are still like that, but as he rose, those people dared not make a move.

“Is it really impossible to achieve Immortal Ascension?” A young man who looked sixteen or seventeen years old asked curiously.

This was Wang Changsheng from the Wang Family; he looked very young, but he was actually an old monster who had lived for millions of years; his strength was astonishing, ranking among the top five; in the entire Nine Heavens, only Lin Tianfan and Meng Tianzheng could suppress him.

For Supremes who had reached the pinnacle of the Human Dao, all they wanted was to go further and achieve Immortal Ascension.

However, this seemed like a curse that no one could break; seeing that even the Holy Emperor, with such strength, had fallen, everyone felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on their heads, making them despair.

The fall of the Holy Emperor brought sorrow to some and joy to others; among them, the Jin Family and the Feng Family were the happiest; with their great enemy gone, they no longer had to worry about being liquidated.

Because these two families had offended the Holy Emperor terribly back then and paid a great price to temporarily quell Lin Tianfan’s wrath.

However, this price made the two families feel great pain, as they sacrificed most of their family’s countless immortal treasures and divine materials, as well as the hundreds of millions of miles of cultivation-suitable areas under their jurisdiction.

Lin Tianfan’s Holy Emperor Palace was also established and rapidly expanded thanks to the resources from these families.

Of course, Meng Tianzheng also mediated, otherwise, with his temper, those who dared to be his enemies would have been annihilated long ago.

“We must build a divine temple for the Holy Emperor so that Lord can reappear in the world!” The Holy Emperor Palace’s Eight Great War Generals proposed; they refused to believe that the Holy Emperor had simply departed.

Although the Holy Emperor Palace was not as old as other Chang Sheng forces, it had been established for over a hundred thousand years, and during these years, it had gained insight into many things.

By building temples and golden statues, one could accumulate Power Of Will and summon his soul, making him reappear in the world; although the chance was slim, it was worth a try.

“Hehehe, why bother with a dead person? It’s just a waste of effort!” An elegant and noble old woman in the crowd said, full of sarcasm and disdain.

She was Golden Grand Empress from the Jin Family, a Supreme who had lived longer than a turtle; she had been suppressed by Lin Tianfan and publicly slapped, making her lose all face in the Nine Heavens, so she held a deep grudge against him.

Now that Lin Tianfan had fallen, Golden Grand Empress was the happiest one; she felt that she was capable again and wanted to reclaim what she had lost.

“Old hag Jin, how dare you insult the Holy Emperor? You’re courting death!” The Holy Emperor Palace’s Eight Great War Generals were all enraged, their Killing Intent surging.

“Heh heh, a bunch of juniors, how dare you be disrespectful to me.” Golden Grand Empress sneered, releasing her Supreme Divine Might, which surged like a vast ocean, causing the Void Realm to collapse.

In her opinion, apart from Lin Tianfan, everyone else in the Holy Emperor Palace was not worth mentioning.

The Holy Emperor had just passed away, and this old hag was already disrespectful to him; this was intolerable.

With a bang, the Eight Great War Generals made their move, their Divine Might overwhelming, surrounding Golden Grand Empress; they also erupted with unparalleled pressure, and these were eight Supreme-level existences.

“This… how is this possible?!”

Golden Grand Empress panicked, unable to believe it; was she seeing things? When did the Holy Emperor Palace become so strong, gaining eight Supremes?

Not only was she surprised, but everyone present was shocked and disbelieving; a single sect with eight Supremes, and not just pseudo-human Dao Supremes, but true and real Supremes, transcending above, the highest in the mortal world.

“Hiss~”

Many people looked sideways, their expressions unusual; regarding the terrifying strength of the Holy Emperor Palace, many Chang Sheng Dao Lineages felt a sense of pressure, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.

In the Nine Heavens, which Dao Lineage had this strength? Besides the Dao Lineage Lord, they could actually cultivate so many powerful existences.

One must know that a Supreme is not a Dunyijing Cultivator who can be easily cultivated through resources; this is not just the accumulation of magical power, but also requires comprehension and talent, which is too difficult.

The Supremes in the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths can be counted; how many have there been since ancient times? Most fell on the way; the path of a Supreme is paved with bones, and that's not just an empty saying.

A Supreme overlooks the heavens and the mortal world, can live for millions of years, and suppresses lower-level Cultivators with absolute strength; it is the Realm closest to Immortal Ascension, incredibly powerful, and dominates the world.

Enough to establish a sect, create an immortal Dao Lineage, and make their ethnic group an Imperial Family or Imperial Dynasty; in this era without Immortals, this is already the pinnacle.

The strong Cultivators all distanced themselves from Golden Grand Empress, fearing being affected, and gave her a look that said, “You are super brave!”
