Chapter 245: Chapter 150: The Entire World as an Enemy, Becoming an Immortal Emperor

Each one could be considered priceless.

Even though these Immortal Artifacts were damaged, they were still of considerable use to Wang Xiao.

They contained Earth Immortal Law—various Great Dao Rules second only to the Origin Great Dao.

By analyzing the principles within, he could condense his Destiny Dao Fruit even faster.

He knew that the battle against the kings today was merely a prelude.

These Immortal Kings were likely just cannon fodder sent by the various Immortal Sects to test him.

The power he had displayed today would surely make the major Immortal Sects wary of him.

To prevent him from attaining his Dao, the Earth Immortal Ancestors of these Immortal Sects might even personally intervene!

However, what truly made Wang Xiao cautious was the Holy Land backing the major Immortal Sects of the Eastern Divine Land: the Confucian Academy.

He suspected many had already guessed from the techniques he used today that he had comprehended the rules of the Origin Great Dao, which were this world’s Celestial Immortal Law.

Attaining the Dao of Celestial Immortal Law would allow one to bypass the Earth Immortal realm and leap directly to becoming an Immortal Emperor. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

It would grant him the right to establish a new Holy Land.

Would the Confucian Academy allow another Holy Land to emerge in the Eastern Divine Land?

Perhaps the Immortal Emperor of the Confucian Academy would even intervene directly.

With the entire world as his enemy...

If he didn’t attain his Dao and become an Immortal Emperor soon, he risked death at any moment!

’Using these Immortal Kings today, I completed three of the Nirvana Ninth Transformations. My Inner World and Great Daoist Nascent Soul have become exceptionally resilient. With the Earth Immortal Law from these Immortal Artifacts, I should be able to fully condense my Dao Fruit and become an Immortal Emperor in less than a month!’

Wang Xiao sensed the Destiny Dao Fruit within his Inner World.

This Destiny Dao Fruit had once been nothing more than an ethereal, illusory presence.

Now, however, it had condensed into a golden fruit, transforming from illusory to tangible.

Once the Dao Fruit was fully formed, Wang Xiao would be considered a true Immortal Emperor—a Tier Six Life form who had condensed an Origin Dao Fruit.

Without the Nirvana Ninth Transformation, this step would have likely taken him at least a decade, if not longer!

The Nirvana Ninth Transformation was a Magic Technique Wang Xiao had created by fusing the magic of various Immortal Sects. It was designed to strengthen his Inner World and Great Daoist Nascent Soul.

Its purpose, of course, was to enable him to bear the power of the Nine Great Origin Dao Fruits.

However, Wang Xiao had never expected the synergy between the Nirvana Ninth Transformation and his Hand of Destiny to be so incredibly effective.

Not only could he transfer all the post-nirvana damage to his Inner World and Great Daoist Nascent Soul onto others, but he could also complete the nirvana instantly, strengthening them in the process!

Without the Hand of Destiny, there was no telling how long it would have taken to endure the period of weakness following each nirvana.

’But the Nirvana Ninth Transformation has a drawback. The later stages have an increasingly greater impact on the Inner World and Great Daoist Nascent Soul. If I fail to overcome a transformation, I might just "achieve nirvana" for good. Relying on Immortal Kings alone isn’t even enough to bear this portion of my Destiny. I’ll have to improve the technique.’

Wang Xiao mused.

He was in no rush, however.

The most important thing now was to first condense his Destiny Dao Fruit and become an Immortal Emperor!

Other matters, such as improving the Nirvana Ninth Transformation and increasing his physical strength, could wait.

He didn’t dwell on it.

Wang Xiao’s figure transformed into a streak of light, and he instantly returned to the Imperial Palace.

Shangguan Xiyue, meanwhile, remained behind to handle the aftermath.

She knew news of this great battle would soon spread throughout the entire Cultivation Immortality Realm!

There was no telling what sort of turmoil it would cause then.

"The battle of kings... it’s over just like that. The Celestial Destiny Emperor won!"

"My gods, with power like that, the skies over the Eastern Divine Land are about to change!"

"More than thirty Immortal Kings, some even wielding their Sect’s Immortal Artifacts, were all suppressed and killed just like that. The Celestial Destiny Emperor’s power might be even greater than that of an ordinary Earth Immortal!"

All the Cultivators felt a sense of disbelief.

Liu Yuzhen, in particular, having witnessed the battle with her own eyes, was so shocked she couldn’t compose herself for a long time.

The figure in the sky, dressed in a Dragon Robe, was now permanently seared into her mind.

Only now did she realize that her ninth younger brother hadn’t been arrogant before; he truly possessed the power to sweep away all the Immortal Kings.

The great battle was over.

But its aftershocks had yet to subside.

News that the Celestial Destiny Emperor, a Loose Cultivator, was on the verge of attaining the Dao to become an Immortal Emperor spread like wildfire throughout the Cultivation Immortality Realm of the Four Great Realms!

Instantly, undercurrents began to surge throughout the world.

Countless eyes across the entire Cultivation Immortality Realm were fixed on the Celestial Capital!

Everyone was waiting in silence.

They wanted to see if the Holy Land of the Eastern Divine Land, the Confucian Academy, would intervene!

However, the focus of all eyes, the very center of the storm...

...was at that moment holed up in the Imperial Palace, continuously analyzing the Earth Immortal Law within the various Immortal Artifacts and condensing his Dao Fruit.

A peaceful month slipped by.

BUZZ!

A brilliant golden light flared.

An invisible ripple of power spread out from Heaven and Earth, then quickly receded.

「Inside Qianqing Palace.」

Wang Xiao sensed the Destiny Dao Fruit in his Inner World—now a completely tangible object—and slowly let out a breath.

Immortal Emperor, achieved!
