Chapter 2132: The Heavens Tremble (Part 1)

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The palm wind surged like a tide. Zhao Ya's strength had recovered, and her aura soared like a rainbow. Having been forced into a somewhat embarrassing position earlier, she now pressed forward step by step, and the White Tiger could barely hold its ground.

After attacking for a while, feeling her strength wane, she took another elixir. After three consecutive doses, the White Tiger had no more strength to resist. Its massive body swayed twice and crashed to the ground.

Only then did Zhao Ya breathe a sigh of relief and wipe the sweat from her brow.

If not for her teacher's elixirs and her Pure Yin constitution, she would never have lasted this long. Far from killing the opponent, she might have been killed instead, ending up with nothing.

“Isn't the Divine Spirit Qi supposed to be easy to obtain? What's going on?”

Full of doubt, she looked at the White Tiger on the ground and saw it gently shimmer, transforming into a golden stream of energy that hovered quietly before her.

Zhao Ya was astonished.

The color of this stream was similar to the one that had transformed from the rabbit earlier, but the sharpness it contained was entirely different. The latter was like a stream, while this one was like an ocean—boundless and endless, with no end in sight.

“Could it be... that Divine Spirit Qi also has levels?” A thought stirred within her.

She had never heard of such a thing before, but given what was before her eyes, she couldn't think of any other explanation.

“Let's not worry about that for now...” Knowing that thinking wouldn't yield an answer, she immediately sat cross-legged, opened all her pores wide, and stirred her spirit fiercely.

Whoosh!

The golden gas that had become the White Tiger surged into her body.

Crack! Crack!

As the power entered her body, the divine shackles that had previously been unbreakable shattered instantly, and her overall strength visibly and rapidly increased.

“Such powerful Divine Spirit Qi...” Her pupils contracted, and Zhao Ya's muscles tensed.

This Divine Spirit Qi carried a sharp metallic aura, as if it would tear her meridians apart, or like a roaring sword energy sweeping away all obstacles within her body.

In less than ten minutes, she broke through the peak of Pseudo-God and became a true God.

Hum!

As soon as she became a God, a pure white light enveloped her, making her look like an angel. Her already slender figure radiated a dazzling brilliance.

As for herself, she was completely immersed in cultivation, seemingly unaware of all this.

...

While Zhao Ya was breaking through, Lu Chong also arrived at the other end of the mountain peak. What appeared before him was a dark shadow.

It was neither a rabbit nor a tiger, but something somewhat resembling a human, entirely composed of mist.

With the help of the elixir bestowed by his teacher, he killed it and similarly felt a rich power surge into his body, rapidly increasing his Witch Soul strength.

The same scene occurred with Wang Ying, who encountered a snow-white ancient tree.

Zheng Yang encountered a giant beast covered in flames, Wei Ruyan encountered a river that could devour life...

Several disciples all had different opportunities.

...

In the far north of the God Realm, amidst the boundless ocean, a massive palace floated on the water's surface like the sun, emitting a dazzling light.

Below, colorful clouds shone, lifting it up. Reflected in the sea, the palace and its reflection complemented each other, creating a dreamlike illusion.

Inside the hall, on a magnificent throne, a white-bearded old man sat, gazing into the void, lost in thought.

“Emperor!”

A middle-aged man approached, standing with his fists cupped.

The old man nodded, his gaze tinged with desolation: “When is the match between that one from Zizai Heaven and the Heavenly Pride Emperor set?”

“Reporting to Your Majesty, on the fifteenth of next month!” the middle-aged man replied.

“The fifteenth? The night of the full moon?” The old man paused, then said, “That one from Zizai Heaven is quite decisive, agreeing so quickly!”

“Your Majesty, your subordinate... has a question, if I may be so bold!” The middle-aged man looked over with doubt.

“You are an old follower of mine. If you have something to say, just say it; no need to hold back!” the old man said.

“Yes!” The middle-aged man nodded and said, “Is that... Heavenly Pride Emperor really that formidable? Even the eight Emperors are no match?”

Without answering directly, the old man paused for a moment, sighed, and said, “Unfathomable!”

“Then... what about that one from Zizai Heaven? He has never appeared; no one knows his true strength. Compared to this Heavenly Pride Emperor, who is stronger?” the middle-aged man asked.

“That one from Zizai Heaven is equally unfathomable. Although I have never seen him, I have sensed his aura—like the heavens hanging high, the Milky Way cascading down—utterly beyond human power to contend with. As for... who is stronger, I cannot say either!”

The old man shook his head.

“Speaking of which, their battle can be considered an epic confrontation...” The middle-aged man sighed with emotion and said with a wry smile, “I really want to go watch, but unfortunately, with my strength, I would probably be shattered to dust before even getting close to such powerful fighters!”

Even a battle between Emperor-level fighters would easily shatter a Sealed God King with its mere aftershocks.

Although they are only one rank apart, one is like heaven and the other like earth, not on the same level.

This can be known from the fact that since the birth of the divine realm, countless years have passed, and there have only been nine emperors in total.

"Watch the battle? It concerns the face of the Nine Heavens, so it certainly won't be made public..." Shaking his head, the old man suddenly froze: "This..."

"Emperor, what happened?" Seeing his expression, the middle-aged man couldn't help asking.

"That one from the Free Heaven just sent a message to the world, saying... next month's duel, he invites us eight old bastards to come and watch!" The old man said with a bitter smile.

He had just said it wouldn't be made public, but in the blink of an eye, he received an invitation.

Before, he wouldn't have dared to think of it.

After all, the duels between him and that Grand Heavenly Emperor had always been closed-door; not to mention other emperors, even the titled god-kings under his command didn't know the results or the battle situation.

"That one from the Free Heaven dares to make the match public—does he already have confidence in defeating the Grand Heavenly Emperor?" The middle-aged man looked at him doubtfully.

"Perhaps..."

The old man's gaze was solemn: "However, when cultivation reaches their level, the gap is not large; no one dares to claim certain victory! We'll have to see how it goes... By the way, the fourth spiritual tide is coming again. Does our Profound Abyss Sea have any outstanding geniuses?"

"None for now!" said the middle-aged man. "The spiritual energy of the divine realm is declining. Although cultivators cherish training opportunities more, geniuses are not so easy to appear! Moreover, to shine in the spiritual tide, one's talent must be the pinnacle of the pinnacle, and their future achievements must be at least god-king... Such people are too few in number, hard to come by!"

"I heard that old ghost Qiankun from the Nether Soul Heaven has acquired a talented soul!" said the old man.

The middle-aged man said: "That's true. It's said he was found from the lower realm, and his soul was directly taken into the Nether Soul Pool... I heard Emperor Qiankun is helping him forge a new body!"

The old man said: "For him to personally forge a body shows that this guy's strength is definitely not simple... It's a pity that such talent didn't appear in our Nether Soul Heaven; otherwise, even if it cost a great price, I would have trained him well, making him a master in a short time, to influence the layout of this spiritual tide..."

"Yes..." said the middle-aged man. "Rest assured, Emperor, as you instructed, I have set up arrangements on the divine mountain. If a genius suitable for our Profound Abyss Heaven appears, I will notify you immediately."

The old man acknowledged and was about to close his eyes to rest when he heard the bell outside the hall suddenly ring urgently.

He stood up abruptly, all drowsiness gone: "The King-Conferring Bell?"

The middle-aged man was also excited.

"The King-Conferring Bell rings, indicating the appearance of a cultivator with the talent of a titled god-king..." The old man's eyes lit up.

Titled god-kings are limited in number, and their preciousness is no less than that of emperors.

The appearance of someone with such talent is an immense temptation for them.

"Quickly summon this genius..."

Understanding the situation, the old man waved his hand, but before finishing his words, he said: "Never mind, you're too slow. I'll go myself!"

With that, his body flickered and he instantly vanished from the spot, teleporting away.

When one's cultivation reaches the emperor level, they can already teleport; no matter how great the spatial constraints of the divine realm, they cannot hinder them.

"It seems that in this spiritual tide, our Profound Abyss Heaven will finally hold our heads high..."

Seeing the emperor personally go to receive him, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes sparkled.

...

Metal Yang Heaven.

Emperor Fumeng, seated in a high position, was holding court when he also heard the sound of the King-Conferring Bell.

"A genius suitable for my Metal Yang Heaven has appeared. I'll go receive him personally..."

Whoosh!

Emperor Fumeng vanished from the spot.

...

Cloud Dragon Heaven.

"Such geniuses have been rare in the divine realm for countless years; only one Grand Heavenly Emperor and his few disciples have appeared... This time, we must not miss the opportunity! You prepare here. I'll go take a look myself!"

With a gentle flicker, Emperor Cloud Dragon transformed into his true form, a five-clawed golden dragon, and also vanished from the spot.

...

"Haha, my Blazing Sun Heaven also has such a formidable genius. Let's see if that brat Demon Lord Qiankun still dares to show off in front of me! This time, I will personally train him, sparing no expense to accelerate time ten thousand times, and make him break through to the titled level before the spiritual tide!"

With a loud laugh, Emperor Scorching Sun flicked his robe, revealing his dark leg hair.

"Emperor... if you go out, I hope you could... wear underwear. If others see you, it will damage your dignity!" An old man behind him said, full of embarrassment.

"I control the blazing sun; my inner heavenly fire is extremely intense. Clothes burn to ashes as soon as I put them on... It's too troublesome to keep changing! It's better to go naked..." Emperor Scorching Sun snorted.

"Going naked is cool, but... this time, isn't the Emperor going out to invite a genius? Going out like this will inevitably be looked down upon..." The old man hurriedly said.

As a servant attending the emperor, he knew too well the habits of this one. Being one of the Nine Emperors, he actually disliked wearing underwear...

Fortunately, this was in his own bedchamber. If seen outside, the face of Blazing Sun Heaven would be completely lost.

"I know. Wait here. I'll pick up the person and be right back!"

Whoosh!

His body flickered, divine power squirmed to form underwear, and Emperor Scorching Sun vanished from the spot.
