NOVPUBChapter 1023: Chapter 123: Meeting the Heavenly Emperor Chapter 1023: Chapter 123: Meeting the Heavenly Emperor Time flew by, and a long period had passed in the universe.
Chu Yuan suddenly appeared beside the War God and saw him training the troops. There was not the slightest slack in the War God’s demeanor, who still maintained a high fighting spirit, knowing that uniting the universe was not yet the most glorious day for martial prowess.
The War God had also learned quite a bit from some information revealed by the goddess.
“Your Majesty,” the War God said.
“War God.”
Chu Yuan nodded, “Your realm has already reached the limits of the Supreme Triple Heaven, and even if the ethereal were to reappear, they would be no match for you. One step further is to become the Sovereign, and you have grasped the essence of half a Sovereign.”
“Half a supreme is still a supreme.”
The War God shook his head, sighing, “Your Majesty, my realm has reached its limit, my power has accumulated to the max. No amount of training will increase my strength further. The universe’s suppression has fixed me in this realm, and in this pressure, it’s impossible for me to break through. You have been subjected to the same suppression as well.”
“Without breaking the cycle of the universe and taking control as the Sovereign, no one can break through,” said Chu Yuan.
“I wonder what Your Majesty plans to do next. Is it to accumulate the power of nine cosmic cycles for a final attempt? I am willing to sacrifice my life,” said the War God.
“Nine cycles won’t do. My only chance is this cycle, and it is also my strongest cycle,” said Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan continued, “I will personally bring about the Reincarnation Cataclysm before this cosmic cycle ends.”
“Personally trigger the Reincarnation Cataclysm!”
The War God trembled fiercely. This was His Majesty’s madness. He said, “The Divine once personally triggered the Reincarnation Cataclysm as well, but he failed, and the Divine Court fell because of it.”
“No, you are mistaken. The Divine succeeded in half, and the other half is waiting for the right moment. He has already merged into the universe,” said Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan addressed the troops, “Look at these soldiers, all valiant warriors who have fought alongside me. Their faith in me is the most intense. If I don’t resolve this in this cycle, all but the undying will perish. In the next cosmic cycle, would any of the newly born beings hold such unwavering faith?”
The War God fell silent.
Indeed, the soldiers of this cosmic cycle had fought along with the Heavenly Emperor, their momentum roaring like a storm, having witnessed the glory of the Divine Dynasty.
In the next cycle, only the undying would survive, and the newly born creatures would no longer possess the current army’s vigor.
“I am willing to give everything and wage war alongside Your Majesty!” declared the War God with a firm resolve.
“There’s no need for that. If I dare to act, it is because I have absolute confidence,” said Chu Yuan.
After finishing his sentence, he left the Divine Capital once again.
His target this time was inside the Reincarnation Realm.
After uniting the universe, those warriors who did not belong to the martially divine had sought refuge within the Reincarnation Realm. Now that he had arrived again, just like before, there were many Reincarnation Evil Corpses wandering everywhere.
Chu Yuan paid no attention to these Reincarnation Evil Corpses and made his way to the farthest reaches of the Reincarnation Realm.
The world there was murky and chaotic, like the primordial chaos. It was dim and lacked both sky and ground, almost losing all sense of direction.
“This is the most mysterious place of the Reincarnation Realm.”
Chu Yuan proceeded through this land.
He even saw floating megacities in this place, which could only be established by supreme beings.
“The Divine Martial Heavenly Emperor!”
Chu Yuan’s arrival immediately provoked fear among the supremes.
“The Divine Martial Heavenly Emperor, what is he doing in the Reincarnation Realm? Is he going to flatten this place? With his strength, an ordinary supreme being would be eradicated in one move, he is, after all, the strongest being in the universe!”
“The Reincarnation Realm has never been swept clean before, and there are many powerful beings here, including those who have once united the universe and now live in seclusion here. Even if he wants to sweep through, he would pay an unbearable price!”
However, to their relief, Chu Yuan did not take any action, but rather passed through, moving on his way.
Striking at them was pointless; he came here, this time in search of a person.
Deep within the Reincarnation Realm, here it was even more perilous, the aura terrifyingly lethal.
Yet his gaze pierced through it all and he saw that within a concealed space-time, vast tracts of celestial palaces emanated a pure white mist of celestial eternity.
Celestial palaces!
The Main Heavenly Palace of the Heavenly Emperor himself!
After the end of his era, the Heavenly Emperor also came into the Reincarnation Realm to hide from the world, unable to appear in the universe again.
Still alive within the palace were numerous individuals, remnants of the Heavenly Emperor Era, who simply chose not to venture out in an era that was no longer their own; yet, this did not imply they were ignorant of what lay beyond the universe.
“A place of concealment from the world.”
Chu Yuan took a step toward the celestial palace.
“Has the War God arrived? He went straight to the Main Heavenly Palace, what could he be up to, could it be seeking a challenge from the Heavenly Emperor?”
“Although strong, the era of the Heavenly Emperor has ended, the War God is the Sovereign of our age!”
“If he seeks to destroy the celestial palace, we shall fight him with all we’ve got!”
Tension ran high among the inhabitants of the celestial palace, who lamented the fickleness of the world; their era had withered away, and the arrival of the War God caused undeniable panic.
“There’s no need for alarm; the Divine Sovereign’s visit isn’t to challenge me but as a guest.”
The Heavenly Emperor was indeed not dead and was truly there, his robust voice resonating, “The esteemed presence of the Divine Sovereign graces our celestial palace; it’s been long since we last welcomed a guest, please come in.”
“Very well.”
Chu Yuan entered the Heavenly Emperor’s palace and saw a person.
This person had jet-black hair and looked to be middle-aged, sitting as immovable as a mountain; despite being from a bygone era, he still possessed a terrifying power that commanded heaven and earth.
He was the Heavenly Emperor!
The Ruler of the Universe of this era had met the strongest of the past era.
Servants from the celestial palace respectfully brought tea; this was a meeting between two great rulers that would have shaken the cosmos if recorded.
“The War God.”
The Heavenly Emperor spoke with booming clarity.
“Heavenly Emperor.”
Chu Yuan looked at the Heavenly Emperor, whose strength was tremendous, greater than even that of the Lord of Heavenly Might.
Although both had been Sovereigns over the universe, this didn’t mean their powers were on the same level; the Heavenly Emperor ranked among the top five beings who had ever dominated the cosmos.
“The Divine Sovereign’s descent isn’t just to see me, I presume.”
the Heavenly Emperor said.
“There are no other matters; the Heavenly Emperor surely understands my cultivation predicament, without breaking the cosmic seal, I too am stuck at this realm.”
Chu Yuan and the Heavenly Emperor, belonging to different eras, had no reason for enmity and thus could sit and converse tranquilly.
“Indeed, when one reaches the limit of their realm, despite glimpsing a stronger state, it’s tormenting to be unable to break through. The pain and torment worsen with longevity; I struggled and fought, but I failed. What kind of Heavenly Emperor am I, merely a failure, barely clinging to existence. The outside world must hold vaster realms still.”
The Heavenly Emperor nodded in agreement.
Both were pitiable sufferers alike.
Seemingly the Sovereigns of the universe, but who could fathom their suffering? Their realms suppressed, hope of breakthrough unseen.
“I unified nine cycles of reincarnation; at the very end of the ninth cycle, I gathered my strength to resist the greatest calamity but failed, leading to the destruction of the celestial palace. With no other choice, I led the last of our people here, to hide away just like the Demon of Legend, the Law, and some others.”
The Heavenly Emperor had failed, knowing his power alone could no longer break the cosmic cycle.
