Chapter 181: The Life-Slaughter Demon Lord (21)
From Silver Wing Heavenly King, Su Chen learned many secrets about the Emperor Path. Perhaps because Silver Wing Heavenly King did not wish to make an enemy of this terrifying monster who had reached the ninth stage of the Great Saint realm under the suppression of the Dharma-Ending Age, he chose to befriend him. He openly shared with Su Chen many secrets of the Emperor Path that Su Chen had never known before.
This was Su Chen's first time stepping onto the Emperor Path across all his reincarnations. Although the major powers had records of the Emperor Path, those records were vague and unclear. It was a path that had been lost to exploration and could no longer nurture a true unrivaled expert.
The Emperor Path hid far too many secrets. There were countless terrifying forces and invincible heavenly geniuses who had lived from various eras until now.
These heavenly geniuses were divided into ordinary geniuses, heavenly king-level geniuses, and… the legendary taboo-level existences!
Anyone who could step onto the Emperor Path, even the most ordinary genius, possessed the ability to fight across realms. Insight realm cultivation and divine body level talent were the bare minimum.
As for the heavenly king level… in Su Chen's view, these beings had walked a single path to its extreme. Their divine or saint bodies were nearly at great completion, and their cultivation had reached the peak of Insight.
However, there were still vast differences even among heavenly kings. The Silver Wing Heavenly King before him was likely one of the top figures among heavenly king-level geniuses. Killing the Bone Heavenly King from two thousand years ago would not have taken him more than ten moves.
As for the legendary taboo level, Su Chen guessed they were monsters on the level of Wang Yunfei—beings destined to become Emperors, provided their luck held. There might be more than just Wang Yunfei at the taboo level… Unfortunately, they were all unlucky. They possessed the potential to become Emperors, yet they had missed their chance.
Silver Wing Heavenly King also spoke with Su Chen about the powerful orthodoxies on the Emperor Path and the deeply hidden reclusive clans. Among them were colossal powers that had given birth to two Great Emperors, as well as terrifying orthodoxies that had lasted for millions or even tens of millions of years and produced four or even five Emperors… These forces existed solely to nurture Emperors. Even when the Dark Turmoil swept across the universe, not a single one of them would emerge to stop it. They were willing to let the darkness rage.
