Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

“The audacity a new Emperor like him has to act like this!”

“Hmph, he’s too arrogant.”

“He doesn’t even have the right to decide who can guard over which region. Let’s leave him be, and let him watch over the little territory his Black Heaven Sect is in.”

“That’s right. Let’s continue to discuss splitting the other regions.”

The Emperors were displeased with Chu Kuangren’s behavior.

However, everyone was no longer bothered about him after that.

Leng Ningyu and Zi Wuji did not leave immediately with Chu Kuangren. In fact, both of them stayed back to discuss with the other Emperors.

Upon realizing the potential opportunity he had, Zi Wuji also took a territory within the Firmament Star to watch over like the other Emperors. He planned to use it as his residence in the future.

“Ningyu, why don’t you guard the Skywood Mountains? With the abundance of spiritual qi in that area, it should be a prosperous piece of land. According to the restoration of the Heavenly Dao, this land will soon be producing treasures within the next ten years.”

Leng Xin said to Leng Ningyu. Seeing that they both came from the Seven Emotions Sect, she was still willing to look out for her junior much younger than her. Hence, she had chosen a good piece of land for her to watch over.

“Thank you, Sister Leng Xin. However, I don’t think I’m going to stay in Firmament Star for the time being,” Leng Ningyu replied.

“Oh, I see. Going back to the Emperor Road is not a bad idea either. However, you must take note not to cause any trouble and do whatever you want just because you are now an Emperor. We, Emperors, are not allowed to intervene in matters involving those below our cultivation level.”

Leng Xin reminded her solemnly.

Now that Firmament Star was in its unique period of time, the Emperors holding the frontline at the Extraterritorial Battlefield desperately needed the new Emperors to fill in their ranks. After all, they had not replenished their resources and manpower for several thousand years now.

The Emperors were not allowed to meddle with the affairs of those below them to prevent them from wreaking havoc with their immense might.

It was a pact made by all the Emperors.

“I understand,” Leng Ningyu said.

The Emperors’ discussion lasted three days and three nights. Once everyone had decided which region they would watch over, they each parted their way.

Along her way home, Leng Ningyu returned to the Black Heaven Sect and told everyone what happened after Chu Kuangren left that day.

“The Emperors have split the Firmament Stars into three hundred prefectures. Each Emperor has been assigned to stand guard in each prefecture.”

“Black Heaven Sect is located in Black Heaven Prefecture, which has been left in Brother Chu’s care. However, Black Heaven Prefecture is the smallest in scale among the rest as the area is only a hundred-thousand-kilometer radius from Black Heaven Sect as its center.”

Everyone turned silent when they heard what Leng Ningyu said.

It could be said that the Emperors’ appearance had completely overthrown the existing power hierarchy within the Firmament Star. From this day onwards, those sage orthodoxies had become relics of the past. The Emperors were the true rulers of the Firmament Star.

In fact, those orthodoxies could not even resist at all.

They were too weak before the likes of the Emperors. To the Emperors, killing them would be no different than crushing mere ants.

The only thing they could do was agree and submit.

“This is just too much. Only a hundred-thousand-kilometer radius? How big are the other Emperors’ territories then?” Murong Xuan asked with a frown on his face.

“Besides the Black Heaven Prefecture, the next smallest prefecture has a three million and five hundred thousand kilometers large radius,” Leng Ningyu explained.

Even the smallest prefecture was at least ten times larger than the Black Heaven Prefecture. It was a clear sign of the Emperor’s revenge for Chu Kuangren’s insolence.

“Hah! That’s very interesting indeed. Has all the land in Firmament Star been divided and taken up?” Chu Kuangren chuckled and asked.

“There are still some leftover areas too. They were those that either have no spiritual qi or contain an air of misfortune around them. Hence, they were abandoned because no one wanted them.”

“Oh, I see.”

Chu Kuangren nodded slightly before saying, “Let’s ignore the Emperors’ matter for now and focus on managing the Black Heaven Sect well instead.”

He had said that he did not care how the other Emperors wanted to divide the regions of the land, as long as they kept their hands off Black Heaven Sect.

Compared to the Emperors dividing up the land, he was more interested in the matters related to the Extraterritorial Battlefield and the great calamity that had been happening since several eras ago.

Hence, he planned to go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield after staying in Firmament Star for a while. His intention to go there was to sharpen his skills and see how powerful the so-called Blood Tribe was.

His path of cultivation had yet reached an end.

After all, being an Emperor was not his end goal, but it was just the start for him!

As time went by, everyone in the world soon found out that the Emperors had divided the Firmament Star into three hundred prefectures. That was when every cultivator knew that the times had changed.

The Emperors, whose existence was a myth in the past, had now become the rulers of the Firmament Star. Their sudden arrival gave no one time to react.

Meanwhile, other than the Emperors, the orthodoxies in the Nine Heavens had also sent forth many of their cultivators to build a base of operation. With the Emperors’ permission, they were to set up several branch orthodoxies in the Firmament Star.

Now that the Heavenly Dao had been restored, they also had their eyes on the prosperous land that was the Firmament Star.

The Emperors, the immemorial orthodoxies, archaic ancient orthodoxies, and several beings who were once ancient rumors started appearing. This put the cultivators of Firmament Star into continuous shock.

However, time would not stop for anyone. As the wheel of history turned towards the future, the cultivators, who could not keep up with the times, were soon left behind as the weak and turned into cannon fodder for the strong.

At the same time, countless cultivators had started to make a name for themselves, spreading their glory and valor throughout the land.

It had been more than a year since Chu Kuangren and the others became Emperors. During that year, the Firmament Star had undergone an unprecedented change.

With the Heavenly Dao restored, the spiritual qi became more abundant, and the Great Dharma Emergence had started. Since then, cultivation has become easier and better for everyone.

Chu Kuangren even heard that several old Sovereigns in Emperor Road had ascended the Emperor Mountain, where they affirmed their Dao and became an Emperor.

Nevertheless, he did not think much about it.

He, too, had been cultivating.

Although he had refined an Emperor-grade soul emblem, he did not witness much improvement in his cultivation realm even after a year of cultivation. All he managed to do was reach the Rank Two Initial Emperor Realm. This showed how difficult it was to progress up the Emperor’s Realm.

Some of the Emperors did not even have much improvement after several thousand years. Hence, his slow progress was not that unusual.

On that day.

Inside the Black Heaven Sect.

A flame of light suddenly shot into the air, followed by several dense surges of Emperor’s Aura that swept out across the whole Firmament Star.

Inside the Towering Heaven Palace, Chu Kuangren opened his eyes.

He looked into the skies in surprise and murmured, “This aura… It’s Lil Red. She’s preparing to affirm her Dao now!”

His eyes lit up with delight as he walked out of the palace.

The skies and clouds were dyed red by a brilliant red light. Amidst the red clouds, a bundle of flame was burning fiercely, and it emanated a terrifying surge of Emperor’s Aura.

A figure could vaguely be seen within the flames.

That was the Godly Phoenix.

Having been startled by the Godly Phoenix, the disciples in Black Heaven Sect hurriedly rushed out to witness it affirming its Dao.

The Emperor’s Aura gradually grew denser and denser until the Emperors in the Nine Heavens and even the Extraterritorial Region could sense it.

“This is… a Prominent-quality Dao!”

“A mere creature has managed to affirm and obtain a Prominent-quality Dao!”

“Wait… This aura… It’s a divine beast?! Is it the Godly Phoenix that was birthed by the heavens and earth? No wonder it managed to attain a Prominent-quality Dao.”

“The Godly Phoenix and Dragons are beings of prosperity and are favored by the heavens itself. Because of that, they are on par with the immemorial and ancient gods, so it’s quite normal for beings like this to obtain a Prominent Dao. Since they were made by the heavens and earth, no wonder they possess a bigger advantage than the humans when it comes to affirming their Dao.”

The Emperors lamented.

Meanwhile, in the Black Heaven Sect, the Godly Phoenix’s affirmation of her Dao and becoming an Emperor caused the heavens and earth to celebrate in delight as several rays of auspicious light radiated all over the area.

Countless disciples had a sudden epiphany as they stood under the rays of auspicious light. As for the Godly Phoenix in the sky, she absorbed the spiritual qi from as far as a hundred thousand kilometers away and started to develop her Emperor’s Core with the blessing from the Heavenly Dao!
