“There’s no need to look for me. I’ve already passed away. It’s just my remaining thought that was speaking to you. The others can’t hearexcept for you.”

The source of that voice was coming straight from that silhouette.

“You are... the ancient emperor of the Nine Region Immortal World, Immortal Execution Great Emperor?”

Driven by his instinct, Jiang Chen asked with astonishment. He did not expect that the voice would actually belong to Immortal Execution. It sounded old and relaxed but at the stime, it exuded dominance and arrogance.

“Precisely. My sword was already broken but my legacy is still around. My effort paid off as I managed to discover someone like you to inherit my legacy.”

The Immortal Execution Great Emperor’s voice carried a hint of relief.

“So in other words, the Eight Trigrams Altar and the Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation actually aren’t a peerless killing formation but a tool for you to search for your inheritor instead?”

Jiang Chen finally understood the meaning behind everything. The heart demon’s devil shadows of the Eight Trigrams Altar were, in fact, set up by the Immortal Execution Great Emperor with the objective to find a suitable inheritor. It was not a truly peerless killing formation. Of course, to the Immortal Execution Great Emperor who had caused innumerable deaths and fought against the entire world, those who failed to escape from the devil shadows of their heart demons deserved their deaths.

“Correct. If one can’t obtain my legacy, what’s wrong if they die?”

The great emperor’s indifferent voice made Jiang Chen sigh. The emperor was indeed too cold and ruthless. In his eyes, weaklings did not have the right to speak at all.

“I’ve travelled across the world unhindered for my entire life and barely met a rival. However, in the end, I still couldn’t overcthe natural law of the Nine Heavens. I originally thought that there was no hope to pass on my legacy after one entire epoch has gone by. However, I still managed to wait for the right person to appear. Hahaha. I believe that the day the broken sword is reforged, and the dragon knight returns, my disciple will eventually carry my glory and return to the Divine World.

“However, it’s really sad that you are too weak. I can’t tell if someone who hasn’t even reached the Great Emperor Realm like you will be able to inherit my legacy or not. But still, this perhaps is my only option.”

Immortal Execution Great Emperor’s sighs resounded within Jiang Chen’s head. One corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth curved upward awkwardly. Indeed, although he was already very strong, in the eyes of powerful beings, he was just like a drop in the ocean. Killing him would be as easy as putting their hands into their pockets. There was still a long way to go in his own path of cultivation.

“Ninth Grade Emperor Reverend Heavenly King. Upon passing away, they will turn into divine spirits. I don’t know how many years it will take for you to reach the Great Emperor Realm. However, at the end of the day, I believe that you, who has such a powerful soul, won’t letdown.”

Jiang Chen heard that sentence once again: Ninth Grade Emperor Reverend Heavenly King. Upon passing away, they will turn into divine spirits! However, he did not understand what it meant. The first the heard it was from Zhuang Zhouzi who was also known as Nan Hua the Enlightened. The only thing he knew was that it was closely related to cultivation.

“Senior Immortal Execution, may I know what is the meaning of the sentence, ‘Ninth Grade Emperor Reverend Heavenly King. Upon passing away, they will turn into divine spirits’?”

Jiang Chen asked.

“Hahaha. It’s normal that you don’t understand it. Even I am not bold enough to say that I have thoroughly comprehended its meaning. This is a suprlevel that even Great Emperors have difficulties in attaining. Tell me, do you think that the Great Emperors are the strongest beings in the divine world?”

“Does that mean that there are much stronger beings than Great Emperors?”

Jiang Chen asked with doubts.

“The Great Emperor Realm is just another stage for cultivators. To put it simply, those who achieve the Great Emperor Realm are the ones who can be truly regarded as Dao cultivators. Those who are below that level can at most be considered as cultivators. And the threshold to attain the Great Emperor Realm is to possess the Dao Essence. Cultivate your own path, a path that no one had ever walked. That’s the quintessence of attaining the Great Emperor Realm! When one attains the Dao, they will reach the Great Emperor Realm. The Great Emperor Realm is divided into nine grades. One grade is equivalent to one layer of heavens. Beyond the Great Emperor Realm is the Heavenly King Realm. That is the level where one can truly dominate the world and shake the universe. There are still stronger levels beyond that. They are the Afterlife Realm and Divine Spirit Realm. At least, during my era, beings of the Heavenly King Realm already no longer existed. As for the individuals at the Afterlife Realm and Divine Spirit Realm, even I haven’t met one before in my life.”

Immortal Execution Great Emperor’s words sparked Jiang Chen’s imagination. Internally, excitement and astonishment welled up. Ninth Grade Emperor Reverend Heavenly King. Upon passing away, they will turn into divine spirits! Well said! So it turns out that the Great Emperor Realm is just the beginning of Dao cultivation while the true unrivalled beings are born from their Dao.

“Remember, you will never be able to beca Great Emperor before attaining your Dao!

“Regardless of how strong you are, if you can’t condense your own Dao, the Great Emperor Realm will just be an empty talk. Only when you successfully create your own Dao will you be considered as the First Grade Great Emperor! Even though it’s too early forto tell you this, you have to understand that even I also haven’t been able to reach the Heavenly King Realm. As for the existences more ancient than the ones I’ve told you, I have no idea at all. I left this Divine Sense behind one hundred million years ago. Even though I might not have witnessed it with my own eyes, in the immemorial times, those beings of the Heavenly King Realm, Afterlife Realm and Divine Spirit Realm were the true rulers of the world. However, those beings no longer existed. This was also why I chose to pursue the ascension to the heavens. Although I failed, I believe that you definitely will be able to inherit my legacy.”

The great emperor’s words were filled with great disappointment as well as relief. The feat that he had yet to accomplish could only be attempted by his inheritor who will have to open up a brand-new path for it.

“One will never be able to beca Great Emperor without attaining the Dao... One will never be able to beca Great Emperor without attaining the Dao”

Jiang Chen murmured under his breath, repeating the words that Immortal Execution Great Emperor had said to him. It astonished him greatly. I have to create a Dao that belongs toand only then can I beca First Grade Great Emperor.

“By the way, Senior Immortal Execution, do you know what a bronze throne is?”

Jiang Chen suddenly recalled the bronze thrones that he obtained previously. Up until today, he already had four of them.

“Bronze thrones? I only know that those are things that don’t belong to this world... Don’t lay your hands on them. At least, before you reach the Great Emperor Realm, those things aren’t within your capabilities to comprehend.”

Jiang Chen could sense the hint of worries in Immortal Execution Great Emperor’s tone. Doubtlessly, those bronze thrones weren’t something he could control either.

“I don’t have much tleft. An era is one hundred million years. If this era is over, I’m afraid that even my Divine Sense will vanish. But still, it’s my fortune to be able to meet you at this final moment. Hahaha. As long as the heavens don’t eliminate me, I’ll rise against the heavens.”

“Now cand accept my legacy. My Dao is the Dao of Slaughter, the Dao to eliminate all creatures and be the master of all!”

An immensely domineering qi flooded into Jiang Chen’s body from his head. At the next moment, however, that qi dissipated within him and vanished completely.

“This... How is this possible? Your body already has the mould of the Dao?”
