Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

Ying Zheng pondered his plan and began to adjust it according to these guys' calculations.

After all, besides assisting Donghuang Taiyi, he also needs to train his disciples.

He won't close the net until Yi Heng has helped Ronaldo achieve his goal.

However, the remaining nine half-step emperors who had revealed their whereabouts could be captured in one fell swoop.
His plan still needs these guys, and Yiheng also needs a lot of resources to reverse his innate nature. These half-step emperors are excellent foundation-building materials.

After dealing with the Void Queen, Ying Zheng's gaze fell upon the innate supreme treasure, the Soul-Destroying Spear. The treasure seemed to leap with joy at Ying Zheng's arrival.

Seeing this, the Void Emperor immediately understood that the Soul-Destroying Spear was a trap.

It is highly likely that this was the work of the owner.

Otherwise, with the remaining essence of this world, it would be impossible to give birth to any more innate treasures.

Following such a powerful figure can not only help one avoid the calamities after the Creator awakens, but may also provide an opportunity to achieve the coveted Dao fruit.

At the same time, Ying Zheng noticed the Void Ring surrounding the Void Emperor. Although this top-grade innate spiritual treasure was enhanced with part of the innate supreme treasure's essence, making it one of the best among its kind, it was still a step below an innate supreme treasure.

However, it doesn't matter. Yiheng already has the Primordial Purple Lotus Seed that he bestowed upon him as a defensive spiritual treasure, and this Soul-Destroying Spear should be enough.

This is a perfect opportunity to seize those half-step emperors' life's work in crafting their half-step acquired treasures.

Although its power is limited due to the incompleteness of the Great Dao, the material itself is already top-notch, as it is a half-step acquired treasure refined from the resources of a great world.

By simply completing the Great Dao, one can create a supreme treasure. It can be said that Ying Zheng is about to reap a great harvest.

At this moment, Ying Zheng's first target was the Divine Abyss Forbidden Zone. Guided by the Void Emperor's massive body, they approached the Divine Abyss Forbidden Zone, located in the main world yet existing between reality and illusion.

Within the Divine Abyss Forbidden Zone, the Yin-Yang Emperor, the Five Elements Emperor, and the Myriad Treasures Emperor had just fallen into slumber when they sensed a massive shadow obscuring the void, even shaking this space and sealing it off.

Gazing upon the enormous Void Whale, as vast as the world itself, surrounded by dense Void power, it was truly a darling of the Void Path.

However, apart from the Void Emperor, no one else in the Void Whale clan could reach such a level.

For some reason, his aura remained at the level of a half-step emperor.

This surprised the three half-step emperors, Yin Yang Emperor, Five Elements Emperor, and Myriad Treasures Emperor: "This aura is undoubtedly that of the Void Emperor. But what exactly happened? How did he break free from the constraints of the emperor's position? Now, as a half-step emperor, what is his intention in coming to the Divine Abyss Forbidden Zone?"

Although the Void Emperor's purpose is unclear, he has dared to provoke the Divine Abyss Forbidden Zone.

The fact that he possessed a supreme innate treasure containing the Dao of Slaughter and Destruction was enough to make them take action.

"No matter what he's here for, the Void Emperor who has lost his throne, I'll see how arrogant he still is! Wanbao River, seal off the void!" The Wanbao Emperor made a fierce move.

This powerful, half-step acquired supreme treasure, the Myriad Treasures River, swept out, engulfing the Void Whale and the Abyss Forbidden Zone.

The moment the Myriad Treasures Domain took shape, countless magical treasures intertwined and sublimated with each other, forming the Myriad Treasures River, which sealed off everything within this void.

At this moment, Emperor Wanbao suddenly noticed the tiny figure sitting on the back of the Void Whale, and his pupils immediately contracted: "Something's not right! Why is the Void Emperor adopting a subservient posture? What's going on?"

"Ugh——!"

Before they could investigate the reason, the Void Emperor roared to the sky, and the vast sound waves shook the void.

It directly disrupted the myriad magical treasures within the Wanbao River. If it weren't for the support of eighteen spiritual treasures, the Wanbao River would have nearly collapsed.

Even so, the magical artifacts were rapidly repaired by the flowing light within the Wanbao River.

The Yin-Yang Emperor looked at the Void Emperor with apprehension: "Now that you have obtained the Soul-Destroying Spear, why have you come to my Divine Abyss Forbidden Zone? Do you really think we are afraid of you?"

The Void Emperor didn't take it to heart: "This is the master's will; I am merely following orders."

The Yin-Yang Emperor, the Myriad Treasures Emperor, and the Five Elements Emperor looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Its master was actually that tiny figure? The moment their gazes fell upon Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, and the vast Primordial Dao completely sealed off this area.

Make sure nothing that happens here is leaked.

After the area was sealed off, the Yin-Yang Emperor, the Five Elements Emperor, and the Myriad Treasures Emperor felt an ominous premonition.

The throne in Ying Zheng's hands shone brightly, and he commanded all the myriad paths of heaven and earth to bless the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, making the seal indestructible.

The Yin-Yang Emperor stared at the throne in astonishment and asked, "This is the throne of the Void Emperor! How could you take it away from me? Who exactly are you?!"

"Who I am is none of your concern," Ying Zheng replied indifferently.

Having said that, he reached out and unleashed the unstoppable power of the Primordial Dao, conjuring a colossal hand that blotted out the sky, enveloping the three half-step emperors within it, intending to suppress them with absolute power.

The moment Ying Zheng made his move, the vast and boundless primordial Dao made them feel powerless to resist.

But these three former emperors would not sit idly by and wait for their doom.

"The Yin-Yang Millstone! The Five Elements Divine Light! The Myriad Treasures Annihilation Divine Light!"

The three incomplete Great Daos of Yin and Yang, Five Elements, and Treasure Artifacts frantically attacked the giant hand that blotted out the sky.

But before the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, they were powerless to resist and were captured by Ying Zheng, who sealed their physical bodies and primordial spirits with the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos.

Ying Zheng then placed them into the small world he had created and said to the Void Emperor's Decree, "Next!"

Although the Void Emperor had anticipated this, witnessing Ying Zheng so easily suppress three half-step emperors still left him deeply shocked.

After receiving Ying Zheng's orders, he continued his journey into the Netherworld Sea. Guided by Ying Zheng's coordinates, the Void Emperor easily infiltrated it, and Ying Zheng suppressed the Primordial Water Emperor.

The Fire Spirit Emperor of the Azure Island followed in his footsteps.

Under the Void Emperor's command and guided by coordinates, every single one of the previous emperors who had revealed their whereabouts was sealed away by Ying Zheng.

Because some of the half-step emperors gathered in one place, Ying Zheng captured a total of twelve half-step emperors this time.

Almost spanning an entire era, Ying Zheng's Primordial Dao continuously absorbed and integrated the true essence of the Daoist practices cultivated by these emperors throughout their lives.

Gazing at the twelve figures before him, Ying Zheng murmured, "These should be enough for Yi Heng to complete the consumption required to reverse his innate nature."

Upon hearing this, the Void Emperor, who was suppressed under Ying Zheng's feet, couldn't help but shudder.

He was all too familiar with defying his innate nature; it was a transformative process that one had to go through when being crowned a king.

The required resources are extremely vast, and innate spiritual materials that are in harmony with one's own laws are also necessary.

Judging from Ying Zheng's attitude, he actually wanted to extract the essence of these previous emperors for his disciples to baptize them, so as to reverse the innate and forge an unparalleled foundation.

Such extravagance was beyond measure; even as the emperor of his time, he had never attempted it, nor even dared to imagine it.

If the news leaks out, those former emperors will surely rise up against him.

After all, two fists can't fight four hands, and now that the throne has been lost, there's no possibility of it.

At this moment, Ying Zheng turned his gaze to Li Yiheng. He had already arrived at the Holy Imperial City, the imperial capital of the human race.

The turmoil caused by the innate treasure had nothing to do with the lower-level beings. In addition, Ying Zheng sealed away twelve half-step emperors, and hundreds of years had passed in the Chaotic Heaven Main World. During these hundreds of years, with the help of the system and the protection of the Primordial Purple Lotus that had transformed into a third-grade one, he grew into a leader of the younger generation of humankind at an astonishing speed.

He then entered the ancestral land of the human race, preparing to ascend to the ninth level of the God and Demon realm and become a powerful marquis.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction: "Indeed, my efforts have not been in vain."

His voice reached Li Yiheng's ears, who was in seclusion. Upon hearing that familiar voice, Li Yiheng's heart surged with emotion.

But considering his surroundings, he suppressed his excitement and used the system to reach that mysterious space.

Ying Zheng was already standing there with his hands behind his back, waiting for his arrival.

"Peak of the Golden Immortal realm, only half a step away from the Taiyi realm. Not bad, Yiheng, you have not let your master down." Ying Zheng said leisurely.

Li Yiheng knelt down in the void with excitement and respectfully replied, "Disciple has kept Master's expectations in mind and has never been negligent for hundreds of years."

Ying Zheng's expression was solemn: "Break through here. I will protect you and merge your main body and clone at the same time, so that you can enter the Taiyi Realm in your complete form. After you are ennobled, you will be rewarded with generous gifts."

Upon hearing this, Li Yiheng was overjoyed. To be called a precious gift by his master, the Lord of the Primordial Chaos, must be extraordinary. He was filled with anticipation.

The power of the Primordial Dao flowed, and the original body hidden within it silently merged with it, without causing the slightest ripple in the outside world.

Even the High Priest Zhu, who was stationed in the ancestral land of the human race and used the Heaven-Suppressing Seal to connect the great formation to seal this place, failed to detect anything unusual.

He was intently watching the ten prodigies who had entered the ancestral land with Li Yiheng. These top ten talents from the competition were all pillars of the new generation of the human race.

The high priest's aged face trembled slightly, and his dim eyes revealed anticipation: "Turbulence is coming, and the children must grow up quickly to protect humanity."

Although the human race appears strong, the High Priest knows that crisis could strike at any moment. That catastrophic disaster could destroy the human race, and all he can do is try his best to cultivate strong individuals and preserve the human race's flame.

As the body merged, Li Yiheng's body surged with immense power.

This force propelled him into the Taiyi realm. The original cultivation system of this world did not have a Taiyi division.

Originally, he was a Golden Immortal who could directly ascend to the Great Luo realm, but the transformation process of the Nine Heavens of Gods and Demons was far too long.

Each breakthrough in the Taiyi Nine Heavens results in a leap in strength, hence the existence of the Taiyi Nine Heavens.

After reaching the peak of the ninth level of Taiyi, and accumulating the power of nine transformations to perfection, one will make the final leap, reversing one's innate nature.

Those who achieve the innate physique can condense the Dao Fruit of Laws and thus ascend to the Great Luo Realm.

Even more exceptionally talented individuals can bypass the nine transformations of the Taiyi realm to accumulate their origins and directly achieve the ultimate leap, reversing their innate nature to become the Great Luo.

However, Li Yiheng's qualifications were insufficient to support such actions. Those who could do such things must either have parents who were the Lord of the Primordial Chaos or have extremely powerful backgrounds.

The rich essence of heaven and earth flowed into Li Yiheng's body, propelling his physical body and primordial spirit through their first transformation at the Nine Heavens of Gods and Demons.

The immense blood energy transformed into a crimson dragon pillar of light that soared into the sky, connecting with the ancestral land's firmament.

Upon seeing this, the High Priest's dim eyes flashed with amazement: "Truly worthy of being the top of this year's list. Such talent deserves to be among the top ten in the history of the human race."

He had increasingly high expectations for Li Yiheng, using the power of the great formation to gather the essence of heaven and earth and invest more rules and barriers.

"This is all I can do. Whether you can grasp the essence and soar to great heights, laying the foundation for a king, depends entirely on your destiny."

A faint sigh echoed through the space, reaching Li Yiheng's ears. He was comprehending his master's Primordial Dao, while the third-grade Primordial Purple Lotus above his head spun leisurely.

Countless rules were laid out before him, but Li Yiheng ultimately chose the Imperial Rule, which had been with him the longest.

Under the influence of the Imperial Dao rules, the third-grade Primordial Purple Lotus glowed with a dazzling golden hue.

The Great Dao of Primordial Chaos helped him comprehend the laws of the Imperial Dao, revealing all its exquisite mysteries.

Li Yiheng's primordial spirit was immersed in it, undergoing a transformation through the perfected imperial rules.

His majestic and domineering aura grew stronger, and he absorbed a massive amount of the essence of heaven and earth to make his physical body approach perfection. Every move he made had the power to tear the sky apart.

"hiss!"

A low growl came from Li Yiheng's throat, and the blood overflowing from his pores stained him with blood.

"Crack!"

After three years of transformation, Li Yiheng broke free from the blood cocoon, and his vital energy gathered into a yellow robe.

Sensing the subtleties of the Imperial Laws he had grasped, Li Yiheng's eyes revealed a hint of melancholy: "In the end, I was unable to ascend to the heavens in one step and touch upon the Imperial Laws."

Seeing his disappointment, the high priest comforted him, saying, "Since ancient times, only the Yuan Emperor has been able to leap to the heavens in one step and complete the ultimate leap. Although you are exceptionally talented, you are still far from being like the Yuan Emperor. It is already rare for you to be able to touch the essence of the laws. As you go further and further down the path of the Nine Revolutions of Gods and Demons, you will gradually comprehend the laws and become a king."

“I will heed the High Priest’s teachings,” Li Yiheng replied respectfully.

"Go to the quiet room to consolidate your cultivation. After others have completed their transformation, we will hold the conferment ceremony together. Have you decided on the titles yet?" the High Priest asked curiously.

Li Yiheng suppressed his disappointment, remembering his master's words about a generous gift, and answered without hesitation, "Marquis Hengtian!"

Watching Li Yiheng's departing figure, the High Priest muttered to himself, "Hengtian, what a domineering little fellow. He has embarked on this path without any guidance, but to become the Human Emperor, domineering alone is not enough."

He then sighed helplessly, "Perhaps only a domineering human emperor can lead humanity to survival in the future."

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the ten human prodigies who underwent their first transformation into the Nine Heavens of Gods and Demons in the ancestral land have awakened one after another.

This once-in-a-hundred-thousand-years grand event for the human race is about to reach its climax and conclusion with the conferment ceremony.

The ten newly promoted marquises will be crowned in the Heavenly Palace of the Human Race.

All the kings and nobles among the human race who had not entered seclusion received invitations to participate in the ceremony.

Because the high priest personally presided over the event, almost all the kings and nobles who received the invitations arrived, and those who were unable to leave sent their avatars.

Inside the solemn and majestic Pingtian Hall, under the watchful eyes of thousands of princes and nobles, Li Yiheng led his entourage into the hall.

"Gentlemen... Today we are holding a ceremony to confer titles upon the younger generation of our people, symbolizing the passing down of our heritage from generation to generation..." the High Priest solemnly announced in a loud voice.

The authoritative voice echoed throughout the hall, and all the kings and powerful figures stood at attention.

The High Priest raised the Heaven-Suppressing Seal high and proclaimed: "Today, I, on behalf of the Holy Emperor, wield the Heaven-Suppressing Seal, the most precious treasure of the human race, and hereby confer upon Li Yiheng the title of Marquis of Hengtian..."

With their investiture, the fortune of the human race was bestowed upon Li Yiheng and the other ten newly ennobled powerful figures.

The golden books and jade seals representing the status of each marquis were presented in turn. Li Yiheng looked up excitedly at the familiar figure before him—it was none other than the Peerless King, one of the three elders of the human race: "Keep up the good work, and I look forward to the day you become king."

Encouraged by his master, Li Yiheng replied with fervor, "I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Ying Zheng smiled and gently patted his shoulder, symbolizing the completion of the ceremony.

The ceremony of bestowing titles upon the nobility was completed, and a grand celebration banquet lasted for seven days and seven nights. (End of this chapter)
