Chapter 492: Chapter 10: I Am the Supreme Overlord

Rumble!

The heavens and earth shook, and the glowing clouds danced chaotically; the entire world seemed like a neon light at night, brilliant and ever-changing.

The sky became higher.

The earth grew thicker.

The sea grew deeper.

The mountains became larger.

...

The vast sea surged, and strange flowers and grasses grew like mushrooms after the rain. The remnants of the Celestial Demon Realm were rapidly devoured and fused, turning into the nourishment for the ascension of the Celestial Essence Realm.

The大道 and laws of the Celestial Essence Realm became more powerful and perfect,

and the space became more stable.

The Celestial Essence Realm, which originally couldn’t accommodate Immortal Gods, now, with its ascension, could accommodate some minor Immortal Gods, transforming the entire world drastically.

If the Celestial Essence Realm was like a lake before, it completely transformed into a vast ocean through this ascension.

Amidst the boundless ocean, a colossal iron wall, seemingly made of gold, sprawled on the sea, stretching for thousands of miles.

Roar!

A deafening dragon roar echoed through the heavens and earth as the golden iron wall suddenly soared into the sky.

It turned out to be a true dragon.

A supreme Five-Clawed Golden Dragon of the dragonkind.

Its golden scales shone brightly, like a radiant sun, and its slender body was both perfect and powerful.

Swish.

The next moment,

It transformed into an incredibly beautiful woman of unparalleled beauty.

Her stunning face was as delicate as porcelain, with skin whiter and smoother than jade, exuding a radiant glow.

Her sapphire blue eyes were like two priceless sapphires, or like the deep, boundless sea, drawing one into their depths, making them wish to be eternally submerged in that deep ocean.

Noble and graceful, like a Divine Lady.

Especially her towering peaks, accentuated by a white bodice, outlining a breathtaking cleavage.

She was the ruler of the East Sea.

The Empress of the East Sea.

Also known as the East Sea Dragon Emperor.

Seizing the opportunity of the Celestial Essence Realm’s ascension, her cultivation soared from Late-Stage Great Emperor to the Great Emperor Peak, even touching that elusive Divine Barrier.

Yet, becoming a god is extremely difficult.

Her majestic and beautiful eyes gazed at the sky, where an even larger and more majestic true dragon resided.

The True Dragon Emperor!

"Can he become a god?"

The Empress of the East Sea closely watched the sky, where a massive dragon, resembling a mountain range, roared at the heavens, battling with the Thunder Tribulation.

That was the Divine Tribulation!

Only by overcoming the Divine Tribulation could one become a god.

The Divine Tribulation is both a disaster and a fate.

This is the transformation from Postnatal to Innate, from mortal to divinity, which is incredibly defiant, a thousand times harder than becoming an emperor.

In the Celestial Essence Realm, each era has hundreds of Great Emperors.

But how many can become gods?

Rumble!

The relentless Thunder Tribulation struck down, tearing the True Dragon Emperor’s flesh, scattering dragon’s blood and scales in the sky.

His body scorched black, faintly emitting the aroma of roasted dragon meat.

As a true dragon, its physical strength was unmatched, but under the Divine Tribulation, it still struggled with the risk of falling at any moment.

This was a leap in the level of life.

A transformation in the essence of life.

Like transforming a carbon-based life form into a silicon-based life form.

"Becoming a god..."

Empress Dong Huang’s phoenix eyes glimmered; she had also touched the threshold of godhood but was still inferior to the Profound Celestial Emperor and the True Dragon Emperor.

At this moment,

She too focused on the True Dragon Emperor.

The True Dragon Emperor’s Divine Tribulation was a vanguard for her, an accumulation of experience.

Not only the Empress of the East Sea and Empress Dong Huang, but the Celestial Phoenix Empress, Golden Dragon Emperor, and various other demons watched the True Dragon Emperor’s tribulation with envy, anticipation, and anxiety.

Their emotions were complex, hoping both for and against the True Dragon Emperor’s success in overcoming the tribulation.

Meanwhile, the human heroes were focused on the Profound Celestial Emperor’s tribulation.

At that moment,

they were undoubtedly the focus.

While Heart Moon Fox Emperor achieved emperorship during this opportunity and became a Demon Emperor, few paid attention.

Because there were too many strong individuals becoming emperors this wave.

Most Martial Emperors stuck at Invincible Emperor successfully ascended to Great Emperor.

Even those who weren’t Invincible Emperors.

Many Late-Stage and Emperor Peak Martial Emperors also ascended to Great Emperor.

More became Martial Emperors than could be counted.

Kings, Dharma Realm, Divine Techniques...

Needless to say.

Even ordinary people, ignorant of martial arts, had their bodies significantly strengthened under the cleansing of Spiritual Qi, becoming much healthier and more vigorous.

This wave,

was a boon for the entire world.

Notably, the Nun Jingyue successfully attained Great Emperor status.

This could be considered a Great Emperor truly nurtured by Zhou Chen.

The Miao Yu Palace Master also became a Great Emperor.

However, the Miao Yu Palace Master was already a strong Martial Emperor when she followed Zhou Chen.

Whereas when the Nun Jingyue first encountered Zhou Chen, she was merely a Dharma Realm phenom, yet now she attained Great Emperor status.

"Roar!"

At that moment, a mournful dragon roar echoed through the nine heavens, shaking the seas and eight lands, bringing tears to countless living beings.

That dragon roar was filled with sorrow, unwillingness, and anger.

The tremendous dragon body of the True Dragon Emperor, reminiscent of a mountain range, was split into two, with dragon blood pouring down from the heavens.

The True Dragon Emperor could not pass this tribulation.

Indeed.

With the True Dragon Emperor gravely wounded, the increasingly strong Thunder Tribulation struck him down until he was scorched black, powerless to resist, and fell from the sky.

"Failed!"

"The True Dragon Emperor couldn’t pass the Divine Tribulation!"

"Becoming a god is harder than ascending to the heavens; throughout history, those who could become gods were all peerless talents, unrivaled in the world, subduing all eternity!"

"Though powerful, the True Dragon Emperor is merely powerful; even though he seized the world-transforming opportunity to touch the Divine Realm, he ultimately lacked the foundation to pass through!"
