Chapter 647: Sealing The Land of Black Soils, Aura of The Nine Emperors, All Hail The Great Emperors

"What do I need you to do?"

"Of course it's to get stronger and get me out of here."

The Chaos Daoist Celestial rolled his eyes and said.

He then briefed Chu Kuangren on several other matters before finally retrieving a painting and an ancient archive.

The painting was the depiction of a stellar and gorgeous lady.

"Little one, this lady is my disciple. The archive contains the journals I've written across my life. If you manage to find her, please pass this on to her even though I'm not sure if this will still be of much use to her. Of course, you're welcome to read it too if you'd like."

Countless eras had passed since they last saw each other. The Chaos Daoist Celestial's disciple must have achieved a remarkable cultivation level and might no longer benefit from his journal.

It was probably more useful for Chu Kuangren, who had just ascended into the Emperor's Realm.

"This lady in white sure looks familiar."

The longer Chu Kuangren stared at the painting, the more familiar she looked.

His eyes abruptly widened in shock.

Holy sh*t.

Was that not the Headless Empress?!

Her head was still lying within his Yin and Yang Ring.

She was the Chaos Daoist Celestial's disciple?

Gulp…

Chu Kuangren cleared his throat and said, "Senior, there's something I have to tell you."

"What is it?" Chu Kuangren then narrated everything he knew about the Headless Empress and took out her head to show him.

The sight of his disciple's head made the Chaos Daoist Celestial's soul tremble violently as he seethed with intense murderous intent.

"Luo Shui!"

"How? What happened there? How did Luo Shui end up like this?!"

The Chaos Daoist Celestial's Daoist core shuddered violently.

Luo Shui was his closest disciple whom he harbored a fair amount of attachment for.

Yet, he now learned that Luo Shui's head had been separated from her body for many years.

Not only was he in utter disbelief, but he could not fathom the things that may have happened to her.

"Something's wrong."

"Why is Luo Shui's aura so weak? With her Heavenly Imperial Realm cultivation, I'd expect a much formidable aura from her, albeit it being only her head," the Chaos Daoist Celestial said with a frown.

His thoughts were all in a mess right now.

It was too confusing.

What exactly happened after the Great Panhuman Revolt?

"Little one, I'm counting on you." The Chaos Celestial Daoist could only rely on Chu Kuangren to get to the bottom of it all.

Chu Kuangren nodded.

Now that Chu Kuangren had ascended into the Emperor Realm, he shouldered great responsibilities.

"Well, Senior, I shall take my leave then."

"Alright."

Chu Kuangren channeled the Emperor qi within him.

A terrifying multicolored avatar was summoned. Its majestic arms extended from its body, almost as if it was trying to pry the firmament open.

Bang!

As the Almighty Avatar reached up toward the sky, it seemed to hit a barrier.

It was the Slumbering Emperor Coffin's cover!

"Open up!" Chu Kuangren grunted as the entire realm within the Slumbering Emperor Coffin began to tremble in its force.

Soon, a dark fissure appeared above him. With that, Chu Kuangren immediately vanished into the air and dashed towards the gap.

In the land of black soil at the Forbidden Barren Wasteland.

The endless land of black soil shook violently as a figure emerged from the soil and soared into the clouds.

"I'm finally out!"

Chu Kuangren inhaled a breath of fresh air and glimmered with joy.

Upon exiting the Slumbering Emperor Coffin, Chu Kuangren could immediately sense the drastic changes that had happened in this realm.

Not only were the surrounding spiritual energies thicker, but the great Dharma had proliferated throughout the realm, making it easier for him to gain insights into the Dao.

In Emperor Road, the formless restrictions that once dominated the land had disappeared. As such, the Sovereigns were no longer bound to their ancestral land.

Chu Kuangren was mildly surprised.

He looked towards the golden pillars at the Emperor Mountain and narrowed his eyes. "Someone has ascended."

Judging from the aura, Chu Kuangren knew there was more than one of them.

"Interesting. It looks like Emperor Mountain has opened. I wonder which of them have become an Emperor."

He chuckled lightly. Next, Chu Kuangren glimpsed briefly at the land of black soil and cast his Emperor Thought over all of Emperor Road and locked onto the Sword Tribe's position.

In the Sword Tribe.

Some of the swordsmen were cultivating.

Suddenly, their swords were engulfed by a strange spatial ripple and instantly vanished into thin air.

"What happened? Where did my sword go?"

"What in the heavens?"

"Something's wrong! All of the weapons in the sword pavilion, including two Emperor Weapons, have disappeared!"

"What?!"

The Sword Tribe abruptly descended into panic.

Many felt a strange chill down their spines.

Just what techniques could be so eerie to have made all of their swords disappear in the blink of an eye?!

"Is this place haunted?"

One of the swordsmen was deeply disturbed.

In the Forbidden Barren Wasteland.

Chu Kuangren was levitating above the land of black soil.

Behind him was a platoon of swords, which even included several Emperor Weapons mixed within. Feeling that it was still insufficient, Chu Kuangren retrieved a few more Emperor's Weapons from his inventory.

Most of them were loots that he had acquired from the Sword Tribe.

"With so many Emperor Weapons arranged into the Sealing Sword Formation, it should be enough to dominate a Godly Weapon that's controlled by a willpower thought form."

Chu Kuangren snorted.

In a split second, the countless weapons rained like a hailstorm over the land.

As the swords penetrated the black soil, an enormous surge of sealing energy erupted and covered all of the lands.

With the completion of the Sealing Sword Formation, the Slumbering Emperor Coffin was trapped beneath the black soil.

Unless the Underworld God himself broke his seal and personally showed up, the Slumbering Emperor Coffin would not see another light of day.

"Now that the Slumbering Emperor Coffin can no longer absorb the tormented thoughts of its victims, it won't harm Senior's soul anymore. Senior, I promise I'll come and rescue you after I've grown stronger," Chu Kuangren muttered to himself.

After that, he looked towards the Emperor Mountain and grinned with excitement. "Now, let's see which of you have become Emperors."

A ripple appeared in the void.

With that, Chu Kuangren vanished on the spot.

Atop the Emperor Mountain.

Bai Hongyu, Wang Quan, Jiu Yan, Zi Wuji, and the other outlawed sky-prides have all become Emperors. Their majestic Emperor Auras could be felt throughout Emperor Road.

The cultivators observing the Emperor Mountain were moved by their ascension. Seeing the newly ascended Emperors had almost triggered an instinctive response within them to kneel in submission.

"Is this the Emperor Auras? It is indeed majestic!"

"After so many years, we finally witness the emergence of new Emperors in Emperor Road. And this is just the beginning, for there's surely more to come."

Boom!

A wave of even frightening Emperor's Aura discharged from the Emperor Mountain.

Qin Tianchen stood triumphantly in the air as his eyes burned with unwavering confidence. His Emperor's Aura was significantly stronger than those of others.

Bai Hongyu and Wang Quan widened their eyes in awe.

"Qin Tianchen is an Emperor incarnate, so his reascension into the Emperor's Realm pretty much symbolizes living a second life. It's no wonder his aura is formidable."

"He is still the strongest amongst us!"

The newly ascended Emperors were fascinated by Qin Tianchen's display of power.

"All hail the great Emperors!"

One of the Sovereigns stood out and rejoiced.

The other cultivators immediately joined in.

"All hail the great Emperors!"

"All hail the great Emperors…"

Their chants of devotions and admiration echoed through the air.

The nine Emperors stood proudly as they basked themselves in the admirations and glory of becoming an Emperor!
