Chapter 2942: One Hundred Thirty-One Emperors

Boom! Rumble!

Tianhuang boomed, unable to withstand the pressure of the four emperors.

People’s eyes gleamed with curiosity, their expressions strange as they glanced at Di Zun and then at Ye Chen.

Only now did they realize that Di Zun looked exactly like Ye Chen.

This was quite baffling.

“What’s their relationship?”

Too many people were asking, looking around in confusion and hoping the seniors could provide an answer.

Not everyone knew the relationship between Ye Chen and Di Zun.

Some secrets required a certain level of cultivation to know.

Back in the great catastrophe of the heavens, the peak experts were nearly wiped out, and those who knew the secrets were few and far between.

“Why do I always feel like he’s the real emperor?”

Xiao Lingwa squatted on Donghuang Taixin’s shoulder, holding a telescope and examining the scene repeatedly, muttering endlessly.

“It’s not a law body; it’s undoubtedly an emperor, the real emperor.”

Ren Wang pondered, his expression full of shock.

As a remnant soul of an emperor, he could distinguish between an emperor’s law body and the true emperor.

The Di Zun in Ye Chen’s tribulation was absolutely not a law body; it was the true emperor’s original form.

“The emperor tribulation of the holy body is truly strange.”

Zao Hua Shen Wang sighed, as if he had seen through it.

“How could this be?”

Even Zao Hua Shen Wang could see it, so Donghuang Nüdi certainly could as well.

She had seen too many emperor law bodies in heavenly tribulations, but a true emperor was a first for her.

“Brother.”

Di Xuan choked up, tears streaming down her face.

The Fourth Shen Jiang and the various Zhutian Jian Shen also had tears in their eyes.

Whether it was the emperor law body or the true emperor, it was still Di Zun.

“The true emperor.”

Ye Chen murmured, silently watching Xianwu Di Zun.

He knew his own tribulation best.

In the tribulation, Donghuang Nüdi, Daozu, and Mingdi were all law bodies, while Di Zun was a true emperor.

He should understand that Di Zun was his emperor path gate and also his tribulation number.

Now, the true emperor’s manifestation was likely due to reincarnation.

Looking at Di Zun again, although he was an emperor, he had no divine intelligence, including Donghuang Nüdi, Daozu, and Mingdi—they were all the same.

This was because the four emperors at that moment represented the will of the heavens, their purpose being to exterminate the one undergoing the tribulation.

“You’re truly outstanding!”

Mingdi stroked his beard, sighing endlessly, particularly focused on the Di Zun in the tribulation. The sacrificed emperor path gate was thought to have completely disappeared, but it had returned, and not as a law body, but as a genuine great emperor.

He sighed, but Mingdi wasn’t as shocked as one might imagine.

Di Zun was Ye Chen’s first life, and Ye Chen was Di Zun’s ninth life. In the ultimate emperor tribulation within nine reincarnations, it was hard not to involve reincarnation. Moreover, since it was Di Zun’s sacrificed emperor path gate, for the original form to appear in the tribulation was expected.

Daozu had his hands behind his back, his eyes profound, only watching without speaking.

There was no precedent in history for a holy body attaining the dao, so Ye Chen’s emperor tribulation wouldn’t be that simple. He had been prepared for it.

Boom!

As he watched, Ye Chen moved, stepping into the Great Dao Taishang Heaven.

The four emperors followed like shadows, also entering the emperor path battlefield.

When the people looked up, the Mingdi law body had already attacked, striking with a palm that was ordinary yet destroyed heaven and earth.

Ye Chen clenched his golden fist, punching through the palm print and flipping the Mingdi law body. Then he stepped into the sky to avoid Daozu law body’s finger, flipping his hand to press down a palm that crushed its emperor body.

When Donghuang Nüdi law body arrived, she sacrificed the Great Realm of All Things, where every mountain and river had the emperor’s spirituality, but it was crushed by Ye Chen’s Chaos Great Realm.

Zheng!

Di Zun arrived with the Reincarnation Xian Jian in hand, slashing back Ye Chen with one sword.

The other three emperors’ law bodies couldn’t harm Ye Chen much, but what was fearsome was Di Zun, who was a true emperor.

However, even so, Di Zun was not enough.

He was a true emperor, but without his original divine intelligence or combat mindset, his combat power was greatly discounted.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Accompanied by rumbling sounds, the true emperor tribulation unfolded on the historical stage.

It could be seen that Ye Chen absolutely had the upper hand, fighting four at once and suppressing them.

Awkward!

The expressions of Tianming and Liangdi were not very natural; four against one, and still getting hammered.

But thinking about it, the two emperors also felt relieved.

You see, Ye Chen himself was a fully accomplished holy body, the strongest and most astonishing in the holy body lineage. With just this identity, below the Tian Emperor, few could match him. Moreover, he had already crossed the emperor path gate. Not to mention three emperor law bodies plus a Di Zun, even if the four in the tribulation were true emperors, they might not be his opponents. This was because whether emperor law bodies or Di Zun, in the ultimate emperor tribulation, they were at the same cultivation level as Ye Chen.

Compared to Tianming and Liangdi, Donghuang Nüdi was much more composed.

If the emperor tribulation was just this lineup, then Ye Chen attaining the dao and becoming emperor would be too easy.

“Only four emperors, isn’t that a bit few? That’s the emperor tribulation of the ancient holy body!”

This statement resonated with many.

Recalling Ye Chen’s quasi-emperor tribulation with sixty-four emperors, now only four, the lineup was indeed pitifully small.

“If it’s just these four emperors, that would be great.”

Ren Wang took a deep breath, and many seniors had the same expression.

Wait and see! It absolutely won’t be this simple; there must be something more terrifying later. Just look at Ye Chen’s great accomplishment tribulation to know; his emperor tribulation will have many surprises. The current four emperors are just a small appetizer.

Facts proved it was indeed so.

As the people looked up, another person appeared in Taishang Heaven, with a majestic back and emperor might shaking the heavens.

“Xuanyuan Di?”

Too many people were astonished; the Xuanyuan Di law body, which had already appeared in Ye Chen’s heavenly tribulation, actually manifested again in his emperor tribulation. It also represented the will of the heavens, and as soon as it took shape, it sacrificed devastating attacks.

Unfortunately, the historically recognized strongest great emperor was still not enough.

At the same level and realm, not to mention law bodies, even if the true emperor came, it wouldn’t be Ye Chen’s opponent.

That little holy body had activated a god-level cheat; below the Tian Emperor, no one was useful.

“Laofu pinches my fingers and calculates; there’s still more behind.”

Kui Niu pretended to be a divine stick, truly calculating with his fingers, speaking with great solemnity.

Boom!

As soon as he spoke, another boom came from Taishang Heaven.

Following Xuanyuan Di, another emperor law body arrived: Yandi, the emperor with the longest lifespan in history.

After him came Douzhan Sheng Huang, the emperor with the shortest lifespan.

The boom hadn’t faded yet when Pangu Great Emperor came out carrying the Sky-Opening Axe, the first emperor of the heavens.

In just a moment, the Honglian Nüdi law body manifested.

If Pangu Great Emperor was the first great emperor in the history of the heavens, then she was the first female emperor in the history of the heavens.

Her elegance was unparalleled.

Following was the Yaochi Nüdi law body, whose grace was not inferior to hers: the last emperor of the ancient era.

After Yaochi Nüdi came Zhutian Great Emperor, the first emperor of the ancient era.

With the two female emperors manifesting, Donghua Nüdi was not absent.

If Donghuang Nüdi hadn’t attained the dao, then Donghua Nüdi would be the youngest emperor in the history of the heavens.

Boom!

Another boom, and Yuantian Great Emperor took shape: the only emperor in the history of the heavens who attained the dao after nine thousand years.

Don’t rush; it’s not over yet.

Xuangu Great Emperor appeared in time: the only emperor who died in battle, shaking ancient and modern times.

At the same time as him was Xianyu Great Emperor.

This emperor had quite a legendary aura; his ruling period was the most prosperous era of the heavens.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Suddenly, a long bell rang, and the Dari Rulai law body returned to the world: the most bizarre emperor in the history of the heavens.

As soon as the Buddha manifested, Taixu Longdi arrived.

This emperor was truly impressive: the only one in the history of the heavens who attained the dao by crossing two realms.

His remnant soul was even more outstanding, reincarnating once to become a great emperor and reincarnating again to become a Tian Emperor.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The booms continued, filling the Great Dao Taishang Heaven.

Every boom meant another emperor’s law body manifested: Zhangu Great Emperor, Tianque Great Emperor, Qingdi, Wuji Great Emperor, Youming Great Emperor, Yukong Great Emperor, Hengyu Great Emperor, Wuqing Great Emperor, Qianmian Great Emperor…

The scene in the Great Dao Taishang Heaven was truly a feast for the eyes.

Every emperor was like a brilliant star, radiating dazzling light and illuminating the universe.

“The one hundred and thirty-one emperors of the heavens are all here.”

The son of the plane murmured, staring in a daze and feeling it was quite unreal.

All emperors of history manifesting together was unprecedented in eternity.

This grand event would be eternally recorded in the annals of the heavens, becoming an immortal legend.

“We should thank the holy body.”

Too many seniors took a deep breath; without Ye Chen, it would be hard to see the spectacle of one hundred and thirty-one emperors.

“The emperors of history are truly giving face.”

Xie Yun grinned and clicked his tongue; such a grand scene was truly a first for him.

“It’s the heavens giving face.”

Situ Nan said meaningfully; it was one hundred and thirty-one emperors, but they were all law bodies, representing the will of the heavens. They had no divine intelligence, only knowing to erase the one undergoing the tribulation. It was because Ye Chen was too astonishing that such a lineup came.

Boom! Rumble!

Taishang Heaven was lively, extremely lively, with one hundred and thirty-one emperors ganging up on Ye Chen alone.

However, although their emperor might was brilliant, it couldn’t suppress Ye Chen’s glory.

As Daozu said, at the same level and realm, no one was a match; not even one hundred and thirty-one emperors could do it.

The scene of the emperor path attacks was heart-trembling.

The tenth emperor of Great Chu was truly dominating heaven and earth. Except for Di Zun, the true emperor, he was punching one after another to explode them. It’s fortunate that the exploded emperor law bodies could reshape; otherwise, the emperor tribulation would end early.

“One person hammering one hundred and thirty-one emperors, tsk tsk.”

Zao Hua Shen Wang clicked his tongue; the scene was not just eye-catching—it was simply awesome.

“It’s just emperor law bodies; obviously not enough.”

Dongzhou Wuwang muttered; this wasn’t a fight—it was Ye Chen unilaterally hammering them.

This guy’s mouth was still blessed.

As they fought, those emperor law bodies shed their laws, and when they reshaped their emperor bodies, one after another, they all turned into true emperors. The emperor path glory was already brilliant, and now it was even more dazzling.

“Can you shut up?”

Riyue Shenzi glanced at Dongzhou Wuwang; if your mouth is blessed, say less.

“All one hundred and thirty-one emperors have come; there’s probably still the fully accomplished holy body.”

Dongzhou Wuwang had his hands behind his back, muttering again.

Well, his words weren’t in vain; the fully accomplished holy body really came.

Accompanied by booms, the one hundred and thirty-one holy bodies that manifested during the great accomplishment tribulation all ran back: Ba Yuan, Di Huang, Chen Zhan, Ming Gu, Hong Yan… each one counted, without exception, all present.

Dongzhou Wuwang twitched his mouth; this blessed mouth was indeed effective.

“Come on, go cool off over there.”

Riyue Shenzi pushed Dongzhou Wuwang, and Kui Niu and Xiao Yuan Huang also directly kicked him once each.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Taishang Heaven, already lively, became even more lively with the manifestation of the one hundred and thirty-one holy bodies.

Looking at Ye Chen again, he was really a bit overwhelmed.

“One hundred and thirty-one fully accomplished holy bodies, one hundred and thirty-one great emperors, two hundred and sixty-two supreme beings!”

“This lineup is worthy of the holy body’s emperor tribulation.”

“I have a feeling there’s more behind; maybe even the fully accomplished holy demon.”

“Don’t joke; this is enough.”

The people said a lot; not to mention the younger cultivators, even the three emperors of heaven, earth, and man couldn’t help but tremble.

Such a grand scene was absolutely unprecedented.

Pfft!

As they watched, Ye Chen spat blood, not knowing how many emperor path attacks he took. His domineering ancient holy body was almost demolished, holy bones stained with holy blood scattered all over Taishang Heaven. Every blood gully on his body was dyed with terrifying dim light.

That was killing intent: the killing intent of emperors, fully accomplished holy bodies, and also of the heavens.

Because he was too astonishing, because he touched taboos, the heavens wanted to erase him.

In the darkness, there was a kind of law that wouldn’t allow people who were too strong and defying heaven to appear, as it would endanger a certain order.

And Ye Chen was such a person.

Two fists can’t beat four hands; Ye Chen’s ultimate emperor tribulation gave the people a good lesson.

He was strong, but there were many on the other side, each a supreme being.

Taishang Heaven was completely chaotic, ultimate emperor might flying horizontally, emperor path power sweeping, with great dao heavenly sounds echoing, destructive visions evolving, stained with the blood of emperors, the blood of holy bodies, and shrouded in apocalyptic glory.

The emperor path melee’s fluctuations were too great.

Even the emperor path battlefield was on the verge of collapse; strands of residual might fell, collapsing patches of starry sky and crushing stars. If not for Donghuang Nüdi casting protective immortal arts, who knows how many would have suffered.

Zheng!

A sword cry suddenly arose, and a dao sword materialized in Donghuang Nüdi’s hand, fused with many laws.

Zheng! Zheng!

Almost at the same time, Daozu and Mingdi did the same, not to go to war, but to be prepared at all times. This was an emperor tribulation, and not an ordinary one; it would expose the heavens’ position and definitely attract foreign domain invasions.

Boom!

Not long after, booms were heard, coming from the human realm of the heavens, from the cosmic border of the human realm.

Looking up, it was a red demonic pillar, probably from the E Mo domain.

Donghuang Nüdi didn’t even look, slashing a sword from across the endless starry sky toward that direction.

That was a great emperor-level demonic pillar, destroyed in an instant.

Soon, a second demonic pillar descended, pitch black and full of demonic aura, also at the great emperor level.

The female emperor said nothing, flipping her hand for another sword, and the demonic pillar collapsed with a boom as soon as it manifested.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Not only the human realm had booms; the heaven and nether realms did too. Already three or five demonic pillars had descended, and there was even a Tian Emperor-level demonic pillar, aimed quite accurately, but all were useless, chopped to ashes by the two emperors with one sword each.

“Having emperors in charge is better than anything.”

The people took a deep breath and stated a truth.

“I hope the holy body can pass the emperor tribulation soon.”

More people were watching Taishang Heaven; it had come to this point, so don’t have any more accidents. Quickly attain the dao and become emperor, then the heavens will truly be stable. One female emperor and one emperor-achieving holy body would be impregnable.
