Chapter 626: Unable to Become an Emperor!

An indescribable, terrifying aura rippled through the Void Realm, and the entire Thirty-Six Heavenly Star Field Grand Array shook along with it.

Buzz!!!

The ten thousand Daos chimed in unison, and the Heavenly Dao Origin emerged.

The moon star and sun star rotated rapidly at this moment.

In an instant, seas turned into mulberry fields; with a single turn, a thousand years seemed to pass in a daze.

Within the Canglan Realm, heaven and earth were overturned, the sun and moon appeared together, and the entire Void Realm seemed to become chaotic.

An unknown power rippled out endlessly, as if condensing the will of the entire Universe.

A pressure that felt like Imperial Might, yet was not quite Imperial Might, weighed heavily on the heart of every living being.

"A Great Emperor?!"

Even Duan Wuya couldn't help but snap his head back at this moment, looking toward the direction of the East Xuan Realm Pass.

At this time, Lian Yuezhou seemed to have become the beginning and end of the world's Origin. She was enveloped in endless Light of the Heavenly Dao. Even Supreme Experts could not penetrate this light with their gaze or Divine Sense to see what was happening inside.

"It's not a Great Emperor!"

"The Heavenly Dao is incomplete; it's impossible to become an Emperor!"

Teng She and Zhuang Beichen's hearts also skipped a beat. Only after discovering that Lian Yuezhou did not emit true Imperial Might did they quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

However, in the next moment, a jade-like hand reached through the Light of the Great Dao.

Bang!

With just a light tap of a jade finger, a beam of light that seemed to be condensed from the ten thousand Daos shot out from Lian Yuezhou's index finger.

The formless and intangible Nightmare Heavenly God could not dodge this strike even by burning his Divine Power; his Soul Origin was directly pierced through.

"How is this possible…"

Nightmare Heavenly God could not believe it.

Lian Yuezhou clearly hadn't become an Emperor, yet her suppressive power was still so strong that it was impossible to resist. He didn't know what Realm this was; he only knew that his consciousness was dissipating bit by bit.

This dissipation was completely irreversible!

Endless panic swept through his Soul, but when he looked at the blinding Light of the Great Dao again, Nightmare Heavenly God found that Lian Yuezhou's figure had already vanished.

East Sea Boundary Pass.

While all the Supreme Experts were distracted by the upheaval at the East Xuan Realm Pass, Li Xuanfeng's aura, which had previously plummeted significantly, began to soar rapidly.

A similarly trembling aura began to expand.

The ten thousand Daos vibrated, the Heavenly Dao Origin emerged, heaven and earth were overturned, Yin and Yang appeared together, and the invisible power of the Heavenly Dao permeated every corner of the Endless Void.

An indescribable sense of oppression descended.

?!!

Duan Wuya, Ancestral Bone, Mixed Pupil, and the other eight Supreme Experts instantly paled in horror.

It's coming!

It has come after all!

The scene that hung over everyone's hearts, the one they feared and dreaded the most—Li Xuanfeng breaking through in a desperate situation!

"How is this possible?!"

"How could it be such a coincidence?!"

All the Supreme Experts were in disbelief, unable to understand.

Lian Yuezhou had just broken through, and Li Xuanfeng followed immediately after?

Could it be that he also has an ability similar to Nine Bodies Merging Into One?

An unwatchable Light of the Heavenly Dao enveloped Li Xuanfeng; Divine Sense could not touch it, and gaze could not penetrate it.

[Ding! Lian Yuezhou's Nine Bodies Merging Into One, cultivation qualitative change, Ultimate Sublimation, Ten-fold Return. Your strength has increased dramatically, cultivation qualitative change, Ultimate Sublimation!]

[Ding! Lian Yuezhou's Nine Bodies Merging Into One, cultivation qualitative change, Ultimate Sublimation, Ten-fold Return. Your strength has increased dramatically, cultivation qualitative change, Ultimate Sublimation!]

[Ding! Lian Yuezhou's Nine Bodies Merging Into One…]

The same System notification echoed in Li Xuanfeng's mind nine times.

Li Xuanfeng's decision to bind Lian Yuezhou's one main body and eight secondary bodies finally played the most critical role at this moment.

Whether it was the main body or the secondary bodies, they all brought him returns. The instantaneous Fusion brought him a Ninety-fold Return!

In Li Xuanfeng's time of greatest need, in his most difficult desperate situation, it was still his Master, Lian Yuezhou, who brought him the power to break the deadlock.

Lian Yuezhou had stepped forward more than once when Li Xuanfeng needed it most; it was true for the Jade Slip she left him before, and it was true for the Nine Bodies Merging Into One now.

His cultivation soared rapidly.

Peak Quasi-Emperor Eighth Heaven, Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven, Peak Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven… After reaching the Peak, an indescribably heavy invisible barrier blocked Li Xuanfeng's steps forward.

As long as he broke through that barrier, he could prove his Dao as a Great Emperor and be invincible throughout the Universe.

However, Li Xuanfeng discovered that this world was missing something, something formless and traceless that should have existed.

The ten thousand Daos pressed down together, as if to crush him, and the Heavenly Dao Origin then emerged to perform a certain baptism on him.

The pressure and the baptism intertwined, lasting only for a moment before suddenly stopping.

Li Xuanfeng found that he had reached a Realm that was hard to describe, far above the Peak Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven, yet not quite the true Great Emperor Realm.

That feeling was like a calamity path quasi-emperor weapon, situated between a ninth-rank quasi-emperor weapon and a true emperor weapon.

If he had to describe it, the current Li Xuanfeng was like a Great Emperor with obvious defects, only able to use twenty to thirty percent of a true Great Emperor's power.

Swish!

The emperor weapon fragment shot toward Li Xuanfeng's forehead.

What was originally a terrifying speed many times faster than light seemed as slow as a crawling insect in Li Xuanfeng's eyes.

He reached out his index finger and tapped lightly forward. The emperor weapon fragment, which had successfully pierced through even a calamity path quasi-emperor weapon, hovered motionlessly just an inch before his fingertip.

With a flick of his finger, the emperor weapon fragment reflected back. Amidst Duan Wuya's horrified gaze, it pierced through his forehead.

Facing this strike, he could not dodge.

It was as if being hit by the emperor weapon fragment was his destiny; there was no way to escape it.

"What… exactly… is going on?"

Duan Wuya looked at Li Xuanfeng with unwillingness and despair, murmuring.

However, Li Xuanfeng ignored him. With a light swipe of his index finger, the emperor weapon fragment moved according to his will, drawing a beautiful arc in the Void.

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

Seven sounds rang out in succession.

Ancestral Bone, Mixed Pupil, Light and Darkness, Starry Sky, Giant Tree, Teng She, and Zhuang Beichen—seven Supreme Experts, not one of them could dodge Li Xuanfeng's effortless attack.

The moment Li Xuanfeng decided to strike, being pierced by the emperor weapon fragment seemed to become the unalterable final outcome of their lives.

They couldn't dodge, they couldn't hide, they couldn't escape.

"Great Emperor!"

"This is a Great Emperor!"

Duan Wuya's Physical Body and Soul were rapidly dissipating. This dissipation was irreversible, and he could not stop it, but he seemed to have a sudden epiphany as he stared fixedly at Li Xuanfeng.

He seemed to understand what Realm and state Li Xuanfeng was in at this moment.

The current Li Xuanfeng was more like he had forcibly undergone sublimation at his Realm's limit while the Heavenly Dao was incomplete, stuck between a Great Emperor and the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven. Thus, he wasn't as terrifying as a Flawless Great Emperor.

Because he had not ascended against the ten thousand Daos to merge with the Heavenly Dao Origin and carve his own unique mark.

But once the Heavenly Dao was supplemented and restored to completeness, Li Xuanfeng could naturally ascend against the ten thousand Daos to carve his mark in the Heavenly Dao Origin and become a true Great Emperor!

If the Heavenly Dao were flawless, Li Xuanfeng would be able to become a Great Emperor right this very moment!

Now that the Heavenly Dao was flawed, Li Xuanfeng's state could perhaps be called a Remnant Emperor.

"Why can you reach such a Realm?!"

Duan Wuya was still unwilling.

He had acted against Li Xuanfeng to seek an opportunity to step into a higher Realm; he knew Li Xuanfeng held a great secret.

"From this day forth, there will be no trace of you left in this world. Nothing will have anything to do with you anymore!"

Li Xuanfeng looked at Duan Wuya indifferently.

That gaze was as if he were looking at an insect.

Li Xuanfeng!!!

Duan Wuya could not accept it. He couldn't even commit suicide, because the power of the Heavenly Dao already permeated his entire body. Even when he would die and how he would die was up to Li Xuanfeng.

A Chaotic Giant Hand descended, and Li Xuanfeng forcibly performed a Soul search on Duan Wuya's rapidly dissipating Soul to extract his memories.
