Chapter 265: Transcendence (21)
The one locked in battle with Tian Mingzi was a man in purple robes. He stood tall and straight, surrounded by heaven-shaking phenomena that shook the boundless space. Nine identical figures manifested around him, each wielding a different weapon—blade, sword, spear, and more. Every weapon was a powerful Emperor artifact perfectly fused with his own Great Dao, granting him terrifying strength.
Ten Absolute Martial Emperor—the transcendent who had come from the destroyed world to hunt Tian Mingzi.
After leaving for a short while, he returned to find his home destroyed and all his friends and family dead. He was determined to kill Tian Mingzi. Even after millions of years of deadlock, both sides were already running on fumes.
"You two are also from that world?" Ten Absolute Martial Emperor looked at the newly arrived Su Chen and Qin Wujie with wariness in his eyes.
Although neither of them had yet refined the Universe Heart to become true transcendents, their strength was formidable, placing them at the peak of one-tribulation Rulers. Especially the golden-robed youth holding the Undying Nether Blade—that weapon alone was at least a two-tribulation peak Ruler artifact.
Reaching the Ruler realm (equivalent to an "Emperor" within a universe) and refining the Universe Heart of the Void Cosmic Sea granted one the qualification to cultivate in the boundless void. To ascend to immortality in the Void Cosmic Sea required enduring thirty-six tribulations across countless epochs, offering only the slimmest chance of success.
Ten Absolute Martial Emperor was a three-tribulation Ruler, while Heavenly Nether Great Emperor, though only at the early stage of two-tribulation, possessed terrifying talent. Having overcome the Nine-Layered Heavenly Tribulation as a supreme Emperor, he had the potential to become a twenty-tribulation or higher supreme Dominator once he fully transcended.
Ten Absolute Martial Emperor knew he had to kill Heavenly Nether Great Emperor right now.
Su Chen said, "Although we come from the same world, we share a common enemy."
