Chương 268: Transcendence (Part 24)

The original universe trembled. Powerful existences emerged one after another to become Emperors. Ancient beings sealed within the Emperor Court, peak Quasi-Emperor experts hidden among various races—all of them unsealed and stepped into the world, competing to achieve the Emperor realm. Five new Emperors appearing in a single breath—what a magnificent spectacle! Yet this was not the end.

From the depths of the Emperor Court, two overwhelming auras surged forth, sweeping across the universe and shattering all shackles, as if they intended to split the cosmos in two.

"It's those two fairy maidens from the Emperor Court! Have they also come out to become Emperors?" Among the five newly ascended Emperors, some ancient existences recognized them. Two of the five exchanged glances, both seeing unease in each other's eyes. They were none other than the Formless Sword Great Emperor and the Eternal Dawn Great Emperor. Although they had fallen from the Emperor realm, they had survived for countless years because of it.

Di Chan and Chi Yao—one born from one of the Nine Innate Supreme Treasures, the other blessed by the accumulated fortune of the Jade Pool Sacred Land over tens of millions of years—possessed talent no weaker than the Chaos Body or Tian Mingzi. Both triggered the terrifying Nine-Layered Heavenly Tribulation.

"What is happening?"

"Why have I lost control over heaven and earth?"

"I am no longer a Great Emperor… Then what am I?"

"..." The Formless Sword Great Emperor and the Eternal Night Great Emperor could only look at each other with helpless bitterness. They had known it would end this way. Di Chan and Chi Yao were simply too strong. There was no way they could compete with them.... In another world. Su Chen felt as though he had undergone nirvana, experiencing a profound transformation filled with both great terror and great opportunity. Fortunately, he overcame the danger without incident and successfully broke through his shackles.

He had refined the Ten Absolute Martial Emperor's world, merging its vast essence and laws into the original universe. This made the original universe even stronger, capable of birthing more geniuses and powerhouses. All living beings benefited from this blessing. Merging the world of a peak Three-Tribulation Ruler allowed Su Chen's cultivation to advance once more. He broke through his limits and reached the early stage of the Four-Tribulation Ruler realm.

Su Chen sensed the auras of Di Chan and Chi Yao achieving their Dao. A smile appeared on his face. However, the current universe already had too many powerhouses. With Qin Wujie still alive and Di Chan and Chi Yao—both of whom had overcome the Nine-Layered Tribulation and possessed limitless potential—the path forward for many others had been blocked.

If he wanted to carve out a path in this Immortal Ruin Land, he would need far more resources and greater strength.

"Hm?" Su Chen suddenly sensed a faint aura. Though separated by endless distance, in this conceptless void it shone like a tiny firefly, dispelling the darkness and pointing the way. He recalled that the Ten Absolute Martial Emperor had claimed to belong to something called the Transmigrator Alliance. Since he had killed the Ten Absolute Martial Emperor, the Alliance would likely seek revenge. Could the owner of this aura… be from the Transmigrator Alliance?... Wang Potian came from the Transmigrator Alliance.

The Transmigrator Alliance was formed by countless Transmigrators. Every Transmigrator carried an immense fortune. Due to various accidents, lonely souls arrived in other worlds. But they had no backing. It was only after powerful Transmigrators rose up, determined to give every displaced soul a warm home, that the Transmigrator Alliance was established. The Transmigrator Alliance might not be the strongest force. But it was undoubtedly the most united.

Anyone who killed a Transmigrator—regardless of their faction—would inevitably face the full retaliation of the Transmigrator Alliance. More than a hundred thousand years ago. A Transmigrator known as Ten Absolute Martial Emperor died. Before his death, he desperately transmitted a set of coordinates. This triggered fury within the Void Cosmic Sea Branch of the Transmigrator Alliance, inside an immortal land. An old and powerful Transmigrator immediately issued a bounty.

Wang Potian noticed that the bounty was located very close to his current position. The target was none other than his sworn brother. Back when both of them were still weak, they had met in the Transmigrator Chat Group and encouraged each other. Together, they had risen from insignificant nothing to masters of a universe and eventually transcended their world. Then they had parted ways for millions of years.

Ten Absolute Martial Emperor gradually stopped sending messages, and Wang Potian had almost forgotten about his old brother—until he saw the bounty.

"No matter who you are, killing my brother means you must pay the price!" Wang Potian swore. Whether for the bounty or to avenge the brother who had walked with him from obscurity, he would kill the murderer and defend the dignity of the Transmigrator Alliance. As a Five-Tribulation Ruler, this was his confidence. Suddenly, Wang Potian frowned. A golden Emperor seal, interwoven with countless Daos, manifested and formed a cage around him. Everything happened too abruptly. Wang Potian had no time to dodge.

Terrifying energy compressed the void into a destructive space and exploded with unparalleled force. Wang Potian erupted with terrifying power, transforming into a golden giant. He tore open the destructive cage with both hands. Blood seeped from his indestructible body as he stood with disheveled hair.

"Who dares to attack the Transmigrator Alliance and interfere with our affairs?!" Wang Potian roared. His towering figure rivaled the starry dome. Though he looked somewhat disheveled, his aura remained overwhelming.

"Transmigrator Alliance? It seems I was right." Multicolored lights of the Great Dao dispelled the chaos from within, and stepped a supreme figure dressed in an Emperor robe, holding the Undying Nether Blade. A treasure wheel's outline floated behind him, and the Heaven Refining Gourd hovered above his head. It was Su Chen. Su Chen sensed the terrifying strength of Wang Potian, which far surpassed that of the Ten Absolute Martial Emperor.

His previous strike had only left the man slightly disheveled, without inflicting any serious injury. Wang Potian finally reacted as he looked at the figure before him.

"So you're the one who killed my brother, Ten Absolute Martial Emperor! A supreme Ruler who overcame more than seven Emperor tribulations—you are indeed talented. But you should never have provoked the Transmigrator Alliance. Our alliance's principle is simple: every member is a brother. Whoever kills one of our brothers, no matter who you are or what force you belong to, will be hunted to the ends of the universe until you are completely dead!" Wang Potian was somewhat surprised, but not overly so.

Supreme Rulers were rare, but according to the Transmigrator Alliance's creed, anyone who killed one of their brothers was an enemy—regardless of talent—and would be pursued until death. Su Chen: "..." In truth, he was also a Transmigrator. But he had never received certification from the Transmigrator Alliance. Unfortunately, Wang Potian had no intention of listening to reason. This was destined to be a fierce and brutal battle.
