Eternal Holy Emperor

Sword, absolute destruction of Emperor Guchu?

Strongest Emperor?

The Emperor whose name begins with "Qing"?

Ye Shi really couldn’t figure out which Supreme Emperor in the Sealing Universe this Qing Guang Emperor actually was.

Only saw that Qing Guang Emperor still had the Heavenly Dao Mask on his face, surrounded by the vast Heavenly Dao Emperor Light, as if killing Emperor Guchu was just a routine matter that barely stirred any waves in his heart-sea.

"Emperor!"

Despite feeling deep sorrow for the death of the Heavenly Desolate Divine Land, Ye Chen still held endless respect for the Emperor who saved him and bowed to express his gratitude.

Qing Guang Emperor nodded slightly to Ye Chen, but when his ancient, profound gaze fell upon Ye Chen, the latter was shocked because he distinctly felt the Ten-layered Heaven Level within his body suddenly tremor uncontrollably.

Again!

Ye Chen was startled, why could this Qing Guang Emperor always so easily cause the Ten-layered Heaven Level within him to tremble, whereas other Supreme Emperors, even Combat Saint Ancestor, Time-Space Emperor, and Emperor Supreme Saint, could not.

Qing Guang Emperor’s gaze seemed to penetrate everything about Ye Chen, as if nothing could be hidden from him.

In the end, Ye Chen simply stopped concealing and opened himself up, allowing the other’s observations.

This open-minded attitude seems to have earned the respect of the other. After a moment of staring, Qing Guang Emperor showed a hint of appreciation in his gaze and sincerely said, "To be able to break through the nine realms’ shackles in such a fragmented Heavenly Dao Universe, and become the first Supreme Genius to reach the Ten-layered Heaven Level after the Mythical Era, you’re indeed outstanding."

Though it was merely a statement of being very outstanding, coming from a Supreme Emperor who easily vanquished half of Emperor Guchu’s True Body, it was an extremely high compliment.

Even Emperor’s sons and daughters, the strongest young Supremes, would find it considerably challenging to receive such a compliment from a Supreme Emperor.

Ye Chen humbly said, "Junior merely had the luck to break through the Ten-layered Heaven."

Qing Guang Emperor replied, "You don’t need to be overly modest. Often times, luck is also a form of strength. Being able to break through to the Ten-layered Heaven and become the first after the Mythical Era is testament to your strength."

Ye Chen could only clasp his fists before opening his mouth, just as Qing Guang Emperor had already guessed what Ye Chen intended to ask. "You will know my name in the future; for now, I’ve come only to resolve a past karma, nothing more."

Karma?

Ye Chen was skeptical; what kind of karma did he possibly have with this Qing Guang Emperor?

"Since I’ve acted, let me help you further, letting the karma resolve more perfectly," Qing Guang Emperor continued, waving the Heavenly Dao Emperor Sword and suddenly slashing toward the River of Time.

Boom——

The River of Time trembled violently, as countless time forces flowed away, more Heavenly Dao Power emerged, reversing all events through time retrospect.

You could see Ye Chen igniting his Emperor’s Reincarnation Body, expanding the Heavenly Creation Universe to battle Emperor Guchu, while the overwhelming Supreme Demon Shadow appeared behind him.

Yet all these turned back to when Ye Chen had just returned from the River of Time, his Emperor’s Reincarnation Body still intact.

"Fix!"

Qing Guang Emperor uttered a single word, freezing all time at the moment Ye Chen returned from the River of Time.

Then, under Ye Chen’s shocked gaze, Qing Guang Emperor fiercely wielded the Heavenly Dao Emperor Sword, slashing through the barriers of time. Then boundless Emperor Dao Qing Guang surged into the chasm, transforming into countless tendrils pulling out the Emperor’s Reincarnation Body.

Boom——

At that instant, the mysterious starlit skies above the River of Time roared horrifically, shocking ancient and modern time-space, unleashing countless Forbidden Heavenly Thunder, more terrifying and numerous than those descended on Emperor Guchu during the Mythical Destruction, boundless and engulfing.

The terrifying Forbidden Heavenly Thunder could nearly rival the terrifying experience when Ye Chen first returned from the Bloodstained Future.

"With my Emperor’s Blood stain through the ages!"

Qing Guang Emperor shouted, blood, Emperor’s Blood, burst from his body; it contained boundless vitality and infinite power, also containing Heavenly and Ten Thousand Paths Principles, soaring toward the endless Forbidden Heavenly Thunder.

Boom——

The Forbidden Heavenly Thunder suddenly vanished without a trace.

Such a feat, truly heavens-reaching and earth-penetrating, left Ye Chen utterly astounded.

This wasn’t something an ordinary Supreme Emperor could possess; even Emperor Guchu withstood the Forbidden Heavenly Thunder only.

Meanwhile, from the river of time-space, Ye Chen’s Emperor’s Reincarnation Body appeared.

Although time-space reversal could bring horrific power of cause and effect, Ye Chen shouted, "Emperor, you mustn’t, it will cause formidable karma."

Qing Guang Emperor remained silent, while sensing the descending much more terrifying Forbidden Heavenly Thunder above the Heavenly Dome.

Additionally, the River of Time trembled, stirring countless roaring waves, towering high as they rushed into the nine heavens, sweeping the stars, carrying the most fearsome time power toward Qing Guang Emperor.

"I am heaven, self-deception technique!"

Qing Guang Emperor roared, releasing blazingly intense Emperor Dao Qing Guang from his body. Along with chains of Emperor’s Blood burst forth, entering where Ye Chen’s Emperor’s Reincarnation Body had been, the Emperor’s Blood dazzling with grand Emperor Dao brilliance, transforming quickly into Ye Chen’s Emperor’s Reincarnation Body.

After doing all this, Qing Guang Emperor withdrew the Heavenly Dao Emperor Sword from time-space, allowing the River of Time to autonomously repair.

The river accelerated its flow, soon encountering scenes of Ye Chen igniting his Emperor’s Reincarnation Body to unleash the Heavenly Creation Universe against Emperor Guchu’s attack.

Eventually, everything dissipated.

Only Ye Chen’s Emperor’s Reincarnation Body was not obliterated, intact before Ye Chen, even the seven-seventh Emperor Origin remained, resembling a seven-year-old boy’s Emperor’s Reincarnation Body, spreading faint Emperor Dao’s Heavenly Might.

Ye Chen witnessed all of this, deeply shocked in his heart.

Because Qing Guang Emperor really succeeded, reversing the River of Time, extracting the Emperor’s Reincarnation Body that existed in the past, deceiving the river of time-space, what a heaven-defying feat that was.

Suddenly, a crackling sound resounded sharply, sourced from the Heavenly Dao Mask, at this moment, a crack formed on the mask inscribed with heaven and Ten Thousand Paths, so eye-catching.

Even someone as heaven-defying as Qing Guang Emperor eventually paid the price.
