Perfect World: Ten Crowns

Chapter 453 The Path to Quasi-Immortal Emperor
Boom!

On the black embankment, two imposing figures appeared. One was bathed in brilliant dragon light, like an emperor descending to earth; the other was full of vigor, with black hair hanging down and his whole body bursting with surging life waves.

"We've traveled ten thousand miles, but we must part ways eventually. Let's leave it at that."

Xia Sheng spoke with unparalleled ease, waved to Shi Hao, and stepped alone across the shallow yellow sand, venturing deep into the Boundary Sea.

Having been stationed in the rear for 100,000 years, Huang has grown up and it's time for him to leave. He wants to find the path to breaking the king's rule, and incidentally, see how the great battle between the Butcher and Chi is going, and who will win and who will lose.

"Goodbye."

Behind him, Shi Hao spoke, staring blankly at Xia Sheng's departing figure. Then he looked at the shallow yellow sand again, but apart from the ancient footprints, there was no other trace.

He couldn't help but chuckle at this.

Yes, only quasi-immortal emperors can leave their own footprints.

"My lord, where are we going?"

The nine-headed monster spoke, though it felt helpless, it was still forced to follow the emperor and venture deep into the Boundary Sea.

"The Ultimate Ancient Land, the Other Shore!"

Xia Sheng spoke, and a blue ancient palace appeared in his palm. He then shook his head slightly. This time, he would cross the river on his own.

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Headed King revealed an unnatural expression.

It came back from the depths of the Boundary Sea. How could it not know that as time went by, the other side became more and more terrifying, with black storms rising one after another, enough to erase the immortal glory of the supreme giant.

And so, the human and the monster set off across the boundless sea.

However, whenever Xia Sheng crossed a certain distance, he would leave traces. He was building the way back, and in order not to be destroyed by the hurricane of the Great Road, he sometimes used some islands and sometimes used the nearby Ancient Temple of Guidance.

At his current level, unless a true quasi-Immortal Emperor personally arrives, ordinary Reception Ancient Halls would no longer be able to harm him.

"Using the Ancient Temple of Reception as a teleportation node, that's truly a grand gesture!"

This prompted the Nine-Headed Monster to sigh. It knew very well how great the taboos were hidden behind these ancient palaces, and now they had all become Xia Sheng's pawns.

In the blink of an eye, seventy or eighty thousand years have passed, and Xia Sheng has already gone very deep into it.

During this time, he crossed countless territories, encountered numerous terrifying dark storms, and even met several dark giants, all of whom he suppressed. He stormed in, attracting the attention of countless living beings.

The Great Purge is imminent, and everyone is retreating to the rear. Yet, there is such a powerful rebel who suppresses everything and fights his way here.

I have to admit, this person is really powerful.

"The alchemist is the master of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"

Soon, from the mouth of that nine-headed monster, many returning powerhouses from the Boundary Sea learned of Xia Sheng's title. This was meant to intimidate the kings and prevent them from causing trouble in the rear.

Xia Sheng eliminated all the malevolent dark creatures to relieve pressure on the rear, but he was not one to kill indiscriminately. He chose to spare some ancient kings who had not yet fallen into darkness.

And so, the name of the alchemist became increasingly well-known on the Boundary Sea.

On this day, after traveling for 180,000 years, Xia Sheng suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong? Are we going back?"

The nine-headed monster said with a look of surprise, "In 180,000 years, we have ventured very deep into the Boundary Sea. We have encountered countless dangers in this area."

In fact, it almost perished in a terrifying dark hurricane, turning into a pile of bones, had Xia Sheng not intervened in time.

"No, I want to try to break through the King Realm again!"

However, Xia Sheng's words made the Nine-Headed King somewhat uneasy.

Over the course of 180,000 years, he has not only been walking, but also honing his Dao embryo. Now, he has once again touched a peak and wants to try.

Boom!

Soon after, the nine-headed monster retreated far away, and an incomparably vast calamity erupted, even more violent than the first time. Billions of terrifying beams of light shot out, collapsing the galaxy, shattering heaven and earth, and even blurring the passage of time.

This time, it lasted for a full nine days and nine nights before Xia Sheng could no longer withstand it. A wisp of immortal imperial radiance overflowed, shattering his Dao body. A massive amount of blood light poured out, so dazzling that it almost overwhelmed all colors in the world, dimming the Great Dao itself. "Too terrifying!"

In the distance, the Nine-Headed King felt a chill run down his spine.

Every ray of imperial light scattered there could severely injure him; it was truly unimaginable how the emperor could survive under such a brutal onslaught.

"The immortal fire cannot burn it out, and its precious light will be reborn after a breath!"

At this moment, Xia Sheng shouted, his body glowing, like a celestial seed containing his primordial spirit and flesh. Under the illumination of the light of myriad tribulations, it bloomed and withered, then produced a seed, and then bloomed again, alternating in this way, diminishing the vast tribulations of life and death.

He was well-prepared for this attack.

Besides the secret technique for reviving the dead that he had already created, he also refined a large number of Nine-Turn Immortal Pills, all of which were of the highest quality, radiating countless rays of light and dazzling brilliance.

After the three primordial beings perished, Xia Sheng collected their fragmented primordial spirits. This was no less than the existence of the three Dao Venerables, and their indestructible matter was practically heaven-reaching.

And so, under the watchful eye of the Nine-Headed King, he endured it all.

"Keng!"

As before, Xia Sheng took the initiative to sever the Emperor's Radiance, transforming it into immortal essence, and integrated it into his physical body.

Boom!

This time, his physical body underwent another strange change.

One after another, cosmic gates opened from within, surging with battle power. These were countless life universes, from which countless sacrificial sounds emanated, as if billions of living beings were worshipping.

“How amazing!”

As soon as the Nine-Headed King got close, its color changed abruptly, and its skin felt a stinging sensation.

Having survived two attempts to reach the Emperor's Path, Xia Sheng has gained immense fortune. It's hard to say just how powerful he has become now.

"Neither succeeded nor did they die!"

Finally, all the strange phenomena dissipated, and Xia Sheng opened his eyes. His eyes were still clear, but they held an endless sense of antiquity, as if he were looking down upon the long river of time.

He was quite certain that he was about to enter that field.

"let's go."

Xia Sheng said, leading the Nine-Headed King on the road. This time, he was even faster, leaving teleportation nodes on islands and occasionally destroying ancient temples that served as guides.

Although he couldn't catch up with the butcher, he wasn't far from that place.

On the other side, a cluster of islands.

The Emperor reigned for 950,000 years.

Three hundred and fifty thousand years have passed since the Immortal Venerable departed.

On this day, a majestic figure emerged from behind the Boundary Sea, bathed in endless symbols of the Great Dao, treading on undying radiance, and descended upon this world.

Boom!

It was truly terrifying. With his arrival, a surge of life force shattered the void, causing the entire island cluster to glow and roar as it put up its fiercest resistance.

"My God, is that a butcher?"

The Venerable One spoke, his eyes flashing with an undying radiance.

The newcomer's aura was simply too powerful, his blood energy was boundless, like an endless ocean pressing down. Throughout history, perhaps only butchers and chicken farmers could rival him.

"No, not him."

Behind her, a peerless and powerful figure stepped forward. The Queen of the Underworld had arrived. Her eyes were deep and flashed with an unusual light: "It's the former emperor. He's here!"
