Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?! Chapter 1131 - 590: Eighth Life: Origin Dao Fruit, Finally Becoming Immortal Emperor! (Part 2)
Previously on Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!...
"Boom!"
A terrifyingly immense wave propagated in every direction, instilling dread and horror in the hearts of beings across the Ten Thousand Races!
"Indeed, this is the true nature of an Immortal Soldier," Lu Yuan observed with evident satisfaction.
Despite the extraordinary perils encountered during his Enlightenment Celestial Tribulation, the greater the risk, the more significant the opportunity.
With his successful transcendence of this tribulation, not only had his personal power surged, but his Lifebound Immortal Soldiers—the Five Elements Immortal Cauldron and the Divine Prison Thunder Saber—had also reaped unimaginable benefits.
It was no exaggeration to claim that the might of these two Lifebound Immortal Soldiers now rivaled that of a Peak Immortal Emperor.
Should they be fully awakened, they possessed the power to effortlessly crush formidable figures like Immortal Emperor Nanli and his ilk!
"With these potent Immortal Soldiers in my possession, this expedition into the Divine Domain is now far more assured," Lu Yuan mused, a flicker of determination in his eyes.
The importance of the Supreme Origin Divine Realm, particularly concerning the inheritance of the Main God, was undeniable, and he was resolute in his quest to claim it.
Previously, his insufficient cultivation had made him apprehensive of being annihilated by the avatars of those Dark Deities, causing him to hesitate entering the Supreme Origin Divine Realm.
However, he had now successfully ascended to the Immortal Emperor realm, his power having increased exponentially compared to his prior state.
While the avatars of the Deities remained formidable, the unique nature of the Supreme Origin Sacred Realm restricted their ability to mobilize significant divine power.
Consequently, Lu Yuan felt confident that his current strength was sufficient to confront the Deities' avatars directly!
Concurrently, Lu Yuan directed his gaze toward the heavens, distinctly perceiving that the once-cold and impassive Heavenly Dao was now firmly occupied and controlled by seven distinct wills.
These seven wills shared an origin identical to that of the Divine Fire Sect and other Immortal Dao Lineages, evoking a sense of familiarity in Lu Yuan.
It was unmistakably the presence of Immortal Emperor Nanli and his associates!
"They are exploiting the Heavenly Dao for personal gain; it is collapsing from within," Lu Yuan declared with sharp, cold eyes.
"Immortal Emperor Nanli and his cohorts have indeed monopolized all Enlightenment opportunities. It is no wonder that since the Ancient Era, no one has been able to attain the Dao and ascend to emperorship."
Lu Yuan's gaze sharpened, and he spoke with chilling coldness.
The Heavenly Dao Will, originally formed from the collective beliefs of all beings and responsible for maintaining the world's order, was meant to be devoid of personal bias or emotion.
Yet, in Lu Yuan's perception, this impartial Heavenly Dao had been corrupted and degraded by the wills of the emperors, reduced to a mere hollow shell.
The fundamental rules and order of this realm had been twisted beyond recognition, long serving as mere instruments for successive Immortal Emperors to amass profit and oppress sentient beings.
This very distortion was the reason successive Immortal Emperors had been compelled to leave this realm in pursuit of the Main God's inheritance, thereby diminishing their control over the Heavenly Dao and inadvertently creating an opening for Lu Yuan.
Had Immortal Emperor Nanli and his faction still been present within the Supreme Origin Sacred Realm, even with countless reincarnations endured by Lu Yuan, he would have been ruthlessly suppressed by the Heavenly Dao Laws, forever barred from attaining the Dao and becoming an emperor!
"First, I shall consolidate my strength. Subsequently, I will proceed to the Divine Domain to resolve all outstanding affairs with Immortal Emperor Nanli and the others!"
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yuan quickly reached a decision.
He then carefully stored away the Five Elements Immortal Cauldron and the Divine Prison Thunder Saber, causing all celestial phenomena and resplendent glows to completely vanish.
The violent Heaven and Earth Laws gradually subsided, and tranquility returned to the world once more.
Yet, Xu Yucheng and the others remained profoundly shocked, standing as if turned to stone, their senses unable to fully comprehend the events for a considerable time.
"Did the Immortal Emperor truly succeed?" Xu Yucheng vocalized his disbelief, questioning the very sight before him.
It was widely known that the Enlightenment Celestial Tribulation Lu Yuan had just endured was exponentially more perilous—hundreds of times so—than those faced by other Immortal Emperors.
Furthermore, Immortal Emperor Nanli and his faction, wielding the Celestial Dao Artifact, had actively disrupted the Heavenly Dao Laws in a desperate attempt to thwart Lu Yuan's enlightenment.
They had been willing to pay the ultimate price, even risking the annihilation of the entire Era, to invoke the Transformation Tribulation Light and forcibly eliminate Lu Yuan.
But who could have possibly foreseen the outcome?
Not only had Lu Yuan survived the brutal onslaught of the Transformation Tribulation Light, but he had also defied the heavens, successfully taking that final, crucial half-step forward!
This also signified that after a prolonged absence, since the era of the seven Immortal Emperors including Nanli, the Supreme Origin Sacred Realm had once again witnessed the emergence of a Peak Immortal Emperor.
And they, the spectators of this momentous event, had personally borne witness to the rise of an invincible Immortal Emperor!
"An ultimate sublimation, Heaven-defying Enlightenment, he truly accomplished it!"
"Even the Transformation Tribulation Light couldn’t kill him, it appears he will be invincible in the world."
"Even if Immortal Emperor Nanli and others return, they can no longer change this!"
Many Ming Dao Venerables gasped, fully understanding what this matter truly signifies.
It was known that when Lu Yuan was at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, he could effortlessly slay powerhouses of the same level; even the self-destruction of seven Enlightenment Immortal Soldiers could not impede him.
And now that he has ascended to become an Immortal Emperor, his might will surely surge once more.
By then, across the entire Supreme Origin Sacred Realm, there might not be a single soul capable of standing against him!
"The heavens indeed have eyes! Immortal Emperor Nanli and the others acted against the natural order, long monopolizing the Celestial Dao Artifact, and now they’ve finally invited retribution!"
The Celestial Secret Daoist, witnessing Lu Yuan successfully enduring the Celestial Tribulation of Enlightenment, was overwhelmed with excitement, tears streaming uncontrollably down his face.
In his youth, he possessed astonishing talent, hailed as the unparalleled celestial pride most likely to reach the Immortal Emperor Realm in his era.
But just as he was on the cusp of achieving Enlightenment, he was relentlessly hunted by the joint forces of various Dao lineages, ultimately reducing his lifelong efforts to mere nothingness.
Thus, a deep-seated hatred, as profound as the deepest sea and unquenchable by any earthly waters, festered within him towards Immortal Emperor Nanli and his ilk!
Now, witnessing Lu Yuan’s successful Enlightenment and ascension to Immortal Emperor status, it somewhat soothed the ancient regret within his heart.
Most importantly.
Once Lu Yuan stepped into the Immortal Emperor Realm, he certainly would not confine himself to the Supreme Origin Sacred Realm; he would undoubtedly venture to the Divine Domain to seek the legacy left behind by the ancient Supreme Origin Saint Master.
This way.
He could follow Lu Yuan to the Divine Domain, and perhaps, he might find a way to heal his Great Dao injury and forge a second life!
Considering this possibility.
The usually calm and collected Celestial Secret Daoist felt his emotions surge, and without delay, he began making preparations for various matters.
Meanwhile.
Upon seeing Lu Yuan returning from the Outer Domain starry sky, Xu Yucheng and the others immediately knelt on one knee, cupping their hands, and shouted in unison with fervent excitement.
"Disciple pays respects to the Immortal Emperor!"
At this precise moment.
All the disciples of the Five Elements Immortal Sect respectfully presented themselves.
The sheer momentum was immense, akin to a colossal tidal wave that shook the very foundations of the world, even powerfully dispersing the clouds that blanketed the sky.
Although Lu Yuan had previously demonstrated the ability to effortlessly slay Quasi-Immortal Emperors.
He had not yet achieved Enlightenment, meaning he possessed the title of an Immortal Emperor but lacked its true substance.
However, after surpassing the Celestial Tribulation of Enlightenment and entering the esteemed Immortal Emperor Realm.
The title of Immortal Emperor was now rightfully his, and his prestige among all the disciples of the Immortal Sect reached an unprecedented apex.
After all, he was a living, breathing Immortal Emperor of the current era, incomparable to those mere Quasi-Immortal Emperors!
"Convey my decree—within the Five Elements Immortal Sect, all are welcome to be taught, irrespective of race, so long as they are sincere cultivators, they may all enter my sect."
Lu Yuan declared with perfect calmness.
His voice, though not excessively loud, carried an undeniable authority and commanding presence that instilled a sense of unwavering submission, leaving absolutely no room for defiance.
"We will faithfully uphold the Immortal Emperor’s decree!"
Xu Yucheng and the others, upon hearing these words, immediately cupped their hands in a respectful salute, meticulously etching this order into their minds.
Supreme beings such as this Immortal Emperor of Attainment had reached the furthest limits of the Great Dao, essentially at a point where further advancement seemed impossible.
If they desired to shatter the world’s inherent limitations and elevate their cultivation even further.
The sole viable path was to impart their teachings to all sentient beings and seize a greater portion of Heavenly Dao Authority.
This was precisely why successive Immortal Emperors spared no effort in relentlessly expanding their own territories and influence.
Once this momentous news rippled through the populace, the entirety of the Supreme Origin Sacred Realm was thrown into a state of fervent excitement.
After all, despite the formidable power Lu Yuan had previously displayed, there remained a discernible gap when compared to the Immortal Emperors of bygone eras.
Consequently, although the Five Elements Immortal Technique he had devised was exquisitely crafted, many cultivators hesitated to embrace its practice, fearing potential future retribution from Immortal Emperor Nanli and his associates.
However, the moment Lu Yuan achieved Enlightenment and officially became an Immortal Emperor, the entire landscape shifted dramatically.
Because he had taken that crucial half-step, his identity and standing underwent a profound qualitative transformation, granting him the standing to be considered equal with all previous Immortal Emperors.
Thus.
Even with the potential return of Immortal Emperor Nanli and his allies in the future, there would be no need for anyone to fret over potential vengeance.
Furthermore, Lu Yuan's teachings were imparted without prejudice, honoring all races equally and offering the myriad creatures a glimmer of hope for altering their destined paths.
Those possessing sufficient talent and comprehension could find themselves under the Immortal Emperor's guidance.
Under his tutelage, they might not only change their own fortunes but potentially attain the revered status of a Ming Dao Venerable!
Following the swift dissemination of this news, the myriad races were filled with elation, dedicating themselves to nightly study, yearning to master the Five Elements Immortal Technique to its entry level.
As creatures from all corners of the world immersed themselves in cultivating the Five Elements Immortal Technique.
A colossal Power of Faith began to coalesce from every direction, eventually being absorbed and refined by Lu Yuan.
Although each individual spark of this faith was subtle, they accumulated like grains of sand forming a mighty tower, or drops of water creating a vast abyss.
When the collective faith of all beings converged, its immensity was truly breathtaking, astonishing even Lu Yuan himself!
