The news that the Ye Clan's Emperor Son had subdued the Black Dragon Crown Prince and obtained the fortune of an Emperor Weapon spread rapidly. Even a member of the Heavenly Palace had been personally slain by the Ye Clan's Emperor Son.
The entire starry sky was shaken.
"It seems the Ye Clan's Emperor Son has cultivated for less than a hundred years. There are no weaklings in the Heavenly Palace, and the Bright-Eyed King was one of their finest, hailed as having the potential to become the ninth Heavenly King. Yet he was killed by the Ye Clan's Emperor Son, who has cultivated for less than a century!"
"Now the Ye Clan's Emperor Son has formed a deep grudge with the Heavenly Palace. The Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace stands at the peak of the Emperor Path and is one of the strongest in the current era, with the highest chance of becoming Emperor. Very few people on the Emperor Path can contend with him."
"Not necessarily… The Ye Clan's Emperor Son is a short-lived ghost. He might just be a flash in the pan. The Soul Extinguishing Curse cannot be resolved!"
"Yes… What a pity. If the Ye Clan's Emperor Son had not been cursed with the Soul Extinguishing Curse, what kind of talent would he have displayed? He would have been one of the most promising figures of this era to become Emperor!"
"Calculating the time, it should be approaching the final deadline since the Ye Clan's Emperor Son was cursed with the Soul Extinguishing Curse. The Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon and the Great Emperor's inheritance he obtained will surely stir the hearts of many!"
"This Emperor Path… is truly not peaceful~"
"..."
...
In a certain domain, Su Chen was comprehending the Great Emperor's inheritance he had obtained at the fifth Emperor Pass. The Great Emperor's inheritance he received was called the Flying Immortal Classic, left behind by the previous generation's Flying Immortal Dao Body.
The aura of the Flying Immortal Dao Body that Su Chen displayed had drawn the Emperor Weapon left behind by a former Flying Immortal Great Emperor. The weapon's spirit had acknowledged Su Chen and, on behalf of the Flying Immortal Great Emperor, accepted him as a disciple, imparting the Emperor Scripture and the profound mysteries of the Great Accomplishment Flying Immortal Dao Body.
The Great Emperor, who had proven the Dao with the Flying Immortal Dao Body in the past, was undoubtedly the best teacher for Su Chen in this life and would bring him the greatest fortune. In just a few short decades, Su Chen's comprehension of the Flying Immortal Dao Body had advanced by leaps and bounds.
In Su Chen's mind floated a small pagoda that emitted the power of the Flying Immortal. This small pagoda was the legendary Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon left behind by the former Flying Immortal Great Emperor.
Su Chen opened his eyes and looked into the depths of space. His Myriad Laws Heavenly Eyes flowed as he saw dense clusters of auras hidden in the profound darkness.
"A bunch of rats!"
He calculated the time. It had already been a hundred years since he was afflicted with the Soul Extinguishing Curse. No living being cursed with the Soul Extinguishing Curse had ever survived past a hundred years.
Countless prodigies on the Emperor Path who coveted the Great Emperor's inheritance were waiting for the moment the Soul Extinguishing Curse erupted so they could fight over the inheritance. No one could remain unmoved by the inheritance of a Great Emperor!
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Su Chen lowered his gaze. The aura around his body rapidly declined, making him appear old and frail. Then he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"The Soul Extinguishing Curse only lasts a hundred years. Is heaven determined to destroy me, Ye Chen?"
Su Chen questioned the unfairness of the heavens, his voice filled with sorrow. The Ye Clan's Emperor Son… was truly finished! His aura was fading, and the flame of his life was extinguishing!
"Even someone as strong as the Ye Clan's Emperor Son could not escape the Soul Extinguishing Curse."
Some people watched the scene and felt pity in their hearts. But more than that, there was greed! After all… that was an Emperor Weapon! Along with the inheritance of a Great Emperor, who would not be tempted?
Among the dense cluster of auras, one particular presence was rapidly growing stronger. A being with tentacles on its head and a green shell on its back gradually revealed itself.
"A dying man is nothing to fear! Since none of you are taking this Emperor Dao inheritance, then I shall take it!"
The green-skinned being was extremely arrogant. He was clearly a Saint realm existence. He directly stretched out a hand, intending to seize Su Chen.
At that moment, a terrifying aura charged over, wreathed in black flames. Upon closer inspection, it was the black mudfish coiled beside Su Chen, suddenly erupting with heaven-shaking momentum.
"Black Dragon Crown Prince, is that you?"
The green-skinned being clearly recognized him and spoke with some wariness, "The Ye Clan's Emperor Son is about to die. Why do you still insist on following him?"
The Black Dragon Crown Prince roared furiously, "My master will not die. The ones who will die are you lot! You people only dare to show up when my master is in great trouble. If my master had not been severely injured, which of you insignificant rats would have the courage to show your faces?"
The green-skinned being coldly shouted, "Stubborn fool!"
The green-skinned being and the Black Dragon Crown Prince clashed. Yet in just a few exchanges, the purgatory spear in the Black Dragon Crown Prince's hand pierced straight through the green-skinned being, dyeing the starry skies with blood.
Too powerful!
In the mere decades he had followed Su Chen, the Black Dragon Crown Prince's combat strength had risen another level!
Seeing this scene, several terrifying auras simultaneously appeared in the starry skies and surrounded the Black Dragon Crown Prince. These were all extremely fearsome prodigies!
"A black dragon's entire body is a treasure. We can extract its dragon tendons, drink its dragon blood, and use its dragon soul to forge artifacts!"
Their target was actually the Black Dragon Crown Prince!
A great battle erupted!
But this was far from over. While the Black Dragon Crown Prince was held back, more beings appeared and charged straight toward Su Chen.
A giant hand pressed down directly on those powerful beings rushing over. In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere as more than ten Saint realm beings were brutally killed. A being radiating golden light stood domineering and unrivaled.
"It's an innate Holy Spirit! The Ye Clan's Emperor Son is truly extraordinary to have subdued such an arrogant innate Holy Spirit!"
Slaughtering beings of the same realm like ants—the innate Holy Spirit's power was terrifying.
Yet even so, supreme experts who had been lying in wait in the starry skies still emerged. This was a sealed Saint King realm prodigy who had come out because of the Great Emperor's inheritance. He charged straight toward Ji Changkong and laughed arrogantly, "An innate Holy Spirit indeed possesses unmatched combat strength, but your cultivation is far too weak! Today, I shall slay the legendary innate Holy Spirit and stain your blood!"
The Saint King attacked abruptly, but Ji Changkong's expression remained unchanged. Countless laws descended from above his head as his flawless body threw a punch, clashing fiercely with the Saint King.
The realm gap was indeed huge… but for an innate being with such origins, the realm was not the only factor that decided victory or defeat!
The Saint King was torn apart alive!
The auras that had been coveting Su Chen's secrets now turned to fear. They had made one critical mistake… Even if the Ye Clan's Emperor Son died, his followers could easily kill them all. Whether it was the Black Dragon Crown Prince or Ji Changkong, both were first-rate geniuses who stood proudly above the masses on the Emperor Path!
"Does this mean that even if the Ye Clan's Emperor Son dies… no one can obtain the Great Emperor's inheritance?"
They had all been waiting for Su Chen to die, believing that once he was gone, they would have a chance to fight for the Great Emperor's inheritance… Yet…
Reality had dealt them a heavy blow!
